I have very slow browsing and I'm not sure it's in regards to dns,mtu and or me using ipv6 in firefox about:config [00:01] how do i add windows to grub? windows resides on a separate slave drive.

I got 9.04 installed through the upgrade it was on the startup it failed === Pablo_Rubianes is now known as PabloRubianes [00:03] Raenir,copy the fonts from windows to ~/.font and try again [00:04] buckwild, oh. Have you tried their forums? supergrubdisk.org is a great site [00:04] I'll try thanks [00:04] thank you windwhinny, now I can't wait to try that with FFXI. It's runningt but for bad text. You just gave me an idea [00:05] corrupt_glxgears,what is FFXI? [00:05] that cant be the answer surely? "stay with 8.10 or change distros" ?? [00:05] Final Fantasy XI Online [00:05] corrupt_glxgears..... [00:06] ?? [00:06] WindWhinny: where would the windows fonts be? [00:06] in CCP folder or somewhere else?

[00:08] geophysics: "sudo apt-get install avant-window-navigator" :) === jason is now known as Guest62513 [00:08] Where technically would the .fonts folder be? I'm having troubl finidng it [00:08] hello [00:08] corrupt_glxgears, YE... [00:09] Raenir,under your home dir [00:09] Raenir: /home//.fonts (it's hidden) ;) [00:09] how should set network config file /etc/network/interfaces to set eth0 to use dhcp? [00:09] I have it on show hidden files and folders [00:09] I have .fontconfig [00:09] doesnt appear to be a .fonts [00:09] ls -l [00:10] hmm as the intel goes, I def have hardware acceleration. Not only dri=yes but videois silky smooth. seems to be a 3d lib issue hrmm... [00:10] so can anyone here help me fine tune my instalation or point me to an online resource i can review [00:10] yeah I have no .font or .fonts folder [00:10] do I just make a new one?

[00:10] Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". No fonts in MPlayer? see !MPlayer [00:10] Raenir,creat it, ".fonts" [00:11] lay [00:11] edbian: i believe that will work === tonsofpc1 is now known as tonsofpcs [00:11] Even after googling, I'm not 100% clear on how to reinstall Ubuntu while keeping my /home directory, which is on a separate partition. Can someone briefly explain this to me or point me to a very simple guide on the matter? [00:11] can you PM me so we can run through quickly [00:11] acat: Install Ubuntu on the / partition, and completely ignore your /home partition until after Ubuntu is fully installed. Then mount your /home partition in /etc/fstab manually [00:11] i cant get youtube videos to play they have sound but no video what to do? [00:12] Is it possible to have custom /dev names? (Such as a flash drive?) (example /dev/foo) [00:12] zack what kind of gfx card? [00:12] hi [00:12] hi guys [00:12] unsure it worked with windows but switch to unubuntu today now dont work [00:12] richardcavell: Two questions: 1) Won't Ubuntu place a /home directory in the same partition as / ? 2) I never had to mount my /home partition in /etc/fstab before - how is this done? Are there special concerns since this /home is from a previous installation? [00:13] how I could solve this error on my ubuntu server edition: 【Bug】halt: Unable to iterate IDE devices: NO such file or directory [00:13] so can someone help me with my issue... [00:13] ? [00:13] hello [00:13] Kingsy101, what is your problem? [00:13] try lspci | grep VGA [00:14] kongming - I have ubuntu 8.10 working perfectly.. then as soon as I upgrade or clean install 9.04 I either get random crashing or a big long trace on boot [00:14] acat: 1. Yes it will, but after installing you can delete that directory's contents recursively and then mount the other partition in its place. 2. It's pretty simple - ask us when you're up to that part. The only special concern is that your userid and groupid have to be the same on the new installation for you to access your old files [00:14] Kingsy101,sometimes ,it happens [00:15] Kingsy101,try 64-bit ED? [00:15] windwhinny - I don't understand. what do you mean? I have been trying to get this installed all night, I have been tryin clean and upgrades NOTHING WORKS [00:15] windwhinny - my system is 32bit [00:16] richardcavell: Just to help me understand this - when I previously opted to put /home on its own partition, did it automatically place the appropriate language in /etc/fstab? If I look there now, will I be able to discern this? [00:16] acat: yep [00:16] windwhinny - what should I do? [00:16] acat: type more /etc/fstab into a Terminal [00:16] Kingsy101，you can rebuild your system to 64-bit, it's ok [00:16] Kingsy101: stick with 8.10? [00:17] >? [00:17] Um [00:17] mneptok - is that seriously the answer? a distro that cant be upgraded? [00:17] I need help with Venrtilo on Ubuntu 9.04 [00:17] Kingsy101，if the ubuntu-9.04-32-bit don't work will, don't use it anymore [00:17] Kingsy101: what SATA chipset do you have? what video chipset? are there known issues with the kernel driver in either? what about other chipsets and their associated drivers in the 9.04 kernel? does it persist on 9.10 dailies? [00:18] mneptok - I have no idea [00:18] Kingsy101: then you might want to stick with what you know works. [00:19] Can anyone help me with ventrilo for ubuntu 9.04 im having trouble with talking in it i can hear but no one hears me [00:19] My internet connection is very slow on my 9.04 desktop however no other machines are slow, what can i check? [00:20] the EULA screen of EVE Online is still bugged [00:20] Kingsy101， try another edition [00:20] mneptok - I know what yout saying it just sounds a little crazy.. does this mean I am never going to be able to upgrade? [00:20] mattgyver: what network connection does your 9.04 use ? [00:20] windwhinny - another edition? what do you mean? like what? [00:20] joeyeye, wired connection [00:20] mattgyver: ping your router and see if you have any dropped packets [00:21] mattgyver: and what's the network card ? [00:21] Kingsy101,suse fedora,kubuntu,and so on [00:21] Is a special channel i have to go to to get help for ventrilo? [00:21] bucky, no dropped packets [00:21] richardcavell: So when the partition editor comes up on the live CD installation routine, do I choose "install them side by side, choosing between them each startup"? [00:22] windwhinny - will that be a big change? i.e does suse have stuff like apt-get nautilus ? etc? [00:22] mattgyver: is your nameserver the same as the other computers' [00:22] acat: that has nothing to do with your /home partition. That determines how many operating systems you'll be left with after installation [00:22] can anyone tell me a good resolution to run ubuntu on? like 1240x1024 is really nice on windows but ubuntu doesn't really make it seem as good. [00:22] bucky, that im not too sure of, how could i check? [00:22] joeyeye, check your pms [00:22] Drained: it depends on your monitor man [00:22] mattgyver: cat /etc/resolv.conf on ubuntu [00:23] it's a 17' Crt :\ [00:23] richardcavell: Well, what options do I choose in the ubuntu installer? It's not made obvious. If you want to pass me off to a guide on the subject, I'm OK with that, but I can't find one that inspires confidence that I'll keep my /home directory. :-) [00:23] it can handle 1400x tho. === CyberScript32_ is now known as Dr_Server [00:23] bucky, my name server points to my router [00:23] Can anyone help me with ventrilo on ubuntu? [00:23] Kingsy101,my PC doesn't work will with ubuntu-8.10-32-bit ,but work will with ubuntu-9.10 [00:23] brandon: ventrilo isn't supported, the creator said "i will never release a linux version of ventrilo" [00:23] I didnt even know there was a ubuntu-9.10 [00:24] mattgyver: that usually sucks.. anyway do an ifconfig and see if you have any dropped [00:24] acat: ignore your /home partition entirely until Ubuntu is fully installed [00:24] or errors [00:24] mattgyver: ifconfig -a [00:24] Kingsy101,sorry...ubuntu9.04 [00:24] there's a modded way to use it but it eats ur CPU reallllllly bad. [00:24] acat: forget about it for now. Ubuntu doesn't know that it exists yet [00:24] !9.10 [00:24] Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 2009 - Karmic WILL break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [00:24] yup Kingsy101, it's i9n testing and available for download [00:24] Kingsy101: it means that you should wait for 9.10, boot it from a LiveCD, and see if you have similar problems. [00:24] richardcavell: OK, but what options do I select in the ubuntu installer - obviously not "use the entire disk" so....? [00:24] acat: Choose whatever you want. If you want to keep another operating system like windows, then choose install them side by side [00:24] Where is firefox's profile folder on ubuntu? [00:24] awwman [00:24] bucky, no droped [00:24] mneptok - oh ok... I see [00:24] Drained,~/.mozilla === Dark_Wolf is now known as Dark_Wolf[Gone] [00:24] <[zz]> hi, people :D [00:25] Acat: i really suggest you dont select "side by side" [00:25] mneptok - so just use 8.10 until 9.10 maybe? [00:25] acat: it can lead to future paritioning problems. [00:25] 9.04 marked a vast improvement for gfx drivers and plug and play for me [00:25] Windwhinny: thanks mate. [00:25] hi all, I just installed firefox-3.5 through apt-get but when I launch firefox from a command line, etc, the version that's launching is older. Any help? [00:25] mattgyver: tell joeyeye what kind of network card you have [00:25] acat, when i did my dual boot, i selected side by side [00:25] Kingsy101: i would. but i value my time, and don;t like beating my head against walls. ;) [00:25] mneptok - just curious, is there a release date for 9.10? [00:25] Kingsy101: "October" [00:25] mneptok - heh yea [00:25] kesiode, are you launching firefox-3.5 from command line? [00:26] mneptok - cool I might just wait then.. [00:26] Kingsy101 , not much different with 9.10 and 8.10 [00:26] I have just installed the dockbar app, but it doesn't show up in any of my menus, can anyone help me run the program? [00:26] Drained: I don't need my old Ubuntu installation - side by side is not desirable for me. However, I don't understand, and this is what I had trouble finding on google: What do I select in order to keep my /home and use it later? Obviously not "use the entire disk" so I'm left with manual or side-by-side. So let's say I do manual. Now what? [00:26] dare, I usually use alt+f2 and then firefox [00:26] you must use firefox-3.5 [00:26] Kingsy101 fyi, the first number is the last digit of the year of release the second is the month [00:26] i want to install apache, php and mysql, whats the command to apt-get all those packages, as well as the dependencies ? [00:26] donnybrasco: i found the answer to the 3D view in chess [00:26] one comes out every 6 months [00:26] kesiode, or shiretoko [00:26] mattgyver: could be a bad cable to router... could be link set to half-duplex, could be 10baseT ... [00:26] donnybrasco,what kind of docker?awn? [00:26] acat: just leave Ext3 there, and leave unallocated space. [00:26] nvm, just firefox-3.5 works [00:26] dare, ? [00:27] kesiode, alt+f2 and then firefox-3.5 [00:27] acat: forget about your /home partition entirely [00:27] corrupt_glxgears - ah.. and so there are always two release per year? one in october and one in april ? [00:27] acat: don't tell the installer that it exists [00:27] <[zz]> Okay, I've been having an ongoing problem since I installed 9.04. Basically, my fan doesn't seem to be recognized (/proc/acpi/fan/ is empty), and my notebook (HP dv5z-1000) shuts down fairly often from overheating. Any ideas about what to do? [00:27] yup [00:27] 6 moth cyc Kingsy101 [00:27] Awesome, bucky!! Let's have it :) [00:27] 6 month cycle* [00:27] joeyeye, im trying to figure out what card is in it right now. It could be going bad i dont know, it started after some update though [00:27] corrupt_glxgears - cool as man, well I guess I will just wait it out then [00:27] Drained, richardcavell: Although I kinda know what I'm doing, please for a moment just treat me like an idiot. :-) I'm sitting at "prepare partitions" and looking at my partitions. None have a mount point indicated. Now what? [00:27] dare, ahhh.. so it's a different browser? [00:27] neverblue: lamp-server [00:27] donnybrasco: https://launchpad.net/~robert-ancell/+archive/ppa/+files/python-opengl_3.0.0-1ubuntu1_all.deb [00:27] it does not have firefox branding yet [00:28] but yes, you have both installed [00:28] acat: Describe how you want your hard disk to look. [00:28] acat: i sent you a pm. [00:28] boss_mc: sudo apt-get install lamp-server ? [00:28] acat: Do you intend to boot any operating system from the internal hard disk other than Ubuntu? [00:28] Network manager won't shoe up in kde when i login using kde as the de, what networkmanager works fine in gnmoe [00:28] windwhinny: not sure [00:28] Hi all, I have Ubuntu 9.04 x64 installed. Anybody know why youtube videos are silent? I've googled w/ no luck. [00:28] styol: hi [00:28] I killed my last xp install last month =) [00:28] hey there mdg :) [00:28] exclusive Linux now [00:28] styol: hows it going? [00:29] I want to be able to open .pyc and .so files. [00:29] mdg its goin alright, tryin to make it through the work day whee... [00:29] tsai, pulse audio is probably the culprit [00:29] neverblue: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP [00:29] windwhinny: I think it's awn [00:29] richardcavell: No. I don't mind if the entire partition / is formatted, so long as /home stays with me. The installer, however, does not make clear how to do this and gives me ominous warnings. [00:29] at least it has been on the last two laptops i installed ubuntu on [00:29] mdg i ended up deciding that it was just time to try and reinstall ubuntu and thus far, its been a mistake lol [00:29] tsai: 64bit flash support is pretty sketchy [00:29] dare: what should I do? [00:29] open sound preferences [00:29] styol: seems like the last hour of work just drags on.... [00:29] donnybrasco,ALT+F2，awn [00:29] and change all events to use ALSA [00:30] acat: well like I said, don't let the installer know that /home exists [00:30] styol: oh no!! Sorry to hear that [00:30] mdg its that looking at the clock that kills it haha [00:30] windwhinny: didn't work [00:30] Also, I went here and followed the directions to update pidgin: http://www.pidgin.im/download/ubuntu/ [00:30] styol: install not going well? [00:30] and it's not showing up as updated [00:30] donnybrasco..... [00:30] mdg its all good, my present issue seems to be rather sticky.. basically when ubuntu install goes to partition the drive, it says the drive is not large enough to create a partition or something like that [00:30] dare: ok, will check it out. thanks [00:31] styol: did you mini come with a USB with software on it? [00:31] donnybrasco,sorry ,my English is bad,i can't help you out [00:31] mdg nope i had to create one with the original dell install and made a bootable flash drive out of it... http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/5885/quickshottrjnl.png [00:32] "to small to be automatically partitioned" [00:32] windwhinny: no problem, thanks for trying [00:33] donnybrasco,sorry ,if you install the awn with apt-get ,it will be a launcher in menu [00:33] styol: wonder what size partitions it used originally? [00:33] <[zz]> six minutes, no reply? D': [00:33] mdg thats a good question but the native drive is 4 gigs i think [00:33] styol: can you boot from usb or livecd and partition using parted ? [00:33] yeah indeed [00:33] [zz]: what was the question? [00:33] <[zz]> Okay, I've been having an ongoing problem since I installed 9.04. Basically, my fan doesn't seem to be recognized (/proc/acpi/fan/ is empty), and my notebook (HP dv5z-1000) shuts down fairly often from overheating. Any ideas about what to do? [00:34] joeyeye: presently my ubuntu install is sitting inside hte livecd, i left it while it was formatting the drive via some instructions i found [00:34] [zz]: Get a laptop cooler. I'm running a dv6000 with fan issues. Not quite shutting down, but it's still a pain. [00:34] joeyeye: but im totally open to any suggestions [00:34] styol: I guess the question is how much disk space does an ubuntu install need [00:34] boss_mc: do you suggest I run a separate system, if I want to use apache/php/mysql ? [00:34] [zz]: I've been looking for a fix for quite a while. [00:34] mdg the iso from dell is 2.1 gigs [00:34] bucky, joeyeye, i notice that my network connections page shows my wired connection is 'never' used. lspci shows my controller set as bridge, is that normal? [00:34] styol: so this is during the livecd install ? [00:34] mdg, 4gb [00:35] joeyeye: it has a similar yet different error [00:35] also, is Java still difficult to install/configure on Ubuntu? [00:35] <[zz]> I could use the ever-classic "hey guys I have a problem linux can't solve hahaha" and then I'd have 67000 people here figuring it out :P [00:35] thiebaude: thanks! [00:35] joeyeye: ill try it again and take a picture to upload [00:35] neverblue: http://divelog.no-ip.org is my computer's lamp page (the computer I'm on right now) [00:35] mattgyver: ifconfig -a [00:35] mdg, np [00:35] mattgyver: did you paste something? [00:35] neverblue: so I say it makes little difference === mac9416 is now known as macEats [00:35] thiebaude: any suggestion for partition sizes for a 4 Gig solid state drive? [00:35] boss_mc: I have my Ubuntu setup in VirtualPC [00:36] i need to learn server side of linux [00:36] mdg, not for something that small, sorry [00:36] [zz]: Heh. I've been trying to find a fix for it for months. I may have to learn to program to fix it. :) [00:36] styol: what's the hard drive capacity and type and age of computer ? [00:36] <[zz]> canthus13: that's probably what I'm going to do; been looking for a solution for a while and nothing's showed up [00:36] mattgyver: are you using your wireless card from the neighbors access point? [00:36] joeyeye: 4 gig ssd dell mini 9 somebody shoot me [00:36] bucky, joeyeye, this is the output http://pastebin.com/m3c8f678c [00:36] bucky, no this is a wired connection this doesnt have a wireless card [00:37] neverblue: ah, I don't know about that, it should still be fine, it's pretty low demand (unless the site gets a lot of traffic) [00:37] mdg, my arch is 2G [00:37] no, it will just be getting me, probably... [00:37] [zz]: Probably hasn't been fixed because HP laptops are crap. [00:37] I would have suspected that installing kde from the reporitoeies would have taken care of the plasmoid wifi application [00:37] joeyeye and mdg -- this makes me wonder how dell made this possible, but they likely just inject a file system onto the ssd rather then any regular installation means [00:37] anyone know of an application for linux that will take input from MIDI keyboard, and play it over the sound card's output...allowing me to change instruments...general midi or sysex or something? [00:38] mdg, with X window，a browser and a terminal [00:38] styol: it [00:38] styol: it's flash storage, right ? [00:38] joeyeye: it has a native ssd and a flash slot [00:39] styol: I'm gonna look at the dell site and see if they have something... [00:39] Looking fot tech support for dell mini [00:39] i need a web based program to arrange and organize working hours for a different set of people [00:39] like a shift system [00:39] mattgyver: pastebin your lspci [00:39] .. if that's what it's called in english [00:39] a HR management program [00:40] joeyeye, http://pastebin.com/m36486de0 [00:40] how do I get to tech support [00:40] joeyeye, it takes a second to find the page, however once it does it loads everything else quickly, at first i thought it was a DNS issue [00:42] how do i make it so that for every Yes/No prompt, i automatically pick yes, for Apt-get? [00:42] mattgyver: it does sound like dns [00:42] spO: -y [00:42] mattgyver: try changing dns to NOT be the router, but some public DNS servers [00:42] joeyeye, let me try that [00:42] brb all --- dinner is served [00:42] where are alrady downloaded packages stored at? [00:43] joeyeye, care to share? :-) [00:43] joeyeye: dinner at 9.42 am? [00:43] WWERE DO I GET TECH SUPPORT [00:43] zamba : like gorganizer?

[00:44] mdg and joeyeye -- this is what it warns me before actually installing http://img444.imageshack.us/img444/9215/quickshottrfdh.png and then this is what it errors during install http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/1269/quickshottrcev.png [00:44] AsgardBeast: but basically a program where a task is specified and then the (human) resources needed to complete the task is specified.. and then the different users can either select task or get assigned them [00:45] tasks* [00:45] zamba : Like a help desk system? [00:45] any idea? [00:45] tcrommie: does the sound work in anything else besides ubuntu? [00:45] AsgardBeast: hm.. no.. [00:45] Guest72017: i would guess you either burnt/installed teh wrong cd/iso file.. or you are confused about 32/64bit. how are you 'seeing its 32bit' [00:45] AsgardBeast: more than one person can be assigned to a task [00:46] Could be a missnamed iso file.. but thats doubtfull. [00:46] AsgardBeast: and a task may have more than one needed resource "pools" [00:46] Nbuntu is the only thing on the dell mini [00:46] Dr_Willis: absolutlly sure that is amd64 bit [00:46] AsgardBeast: to be more specific.. this is for a company that's in live concert and event production [00:46] maybe try a live cd from a different disto? trying to see if its hardware or software :) [00:46] Guest72017,64bit system can run 32bit application [00:47] AsgardBeast: so we have one group of people that handles sound engineering and one that handles light.. and then also some that has to do the driving.. and the setup.. and so on.. [00:47] Guest72017: so how are you seeing its 32bit os then? [00:47] windwhinny: i have 4 GB ram and dual core CPU i will 64bit no 32bit [00:47] tcrommie: have you done an update recently? [00:47] AsgardBeast: and for every event we need to define the number of persons needed [00:48] Dr_Willis: with 'cat /etc/lsb-release [00:48] ' [00:48] What could happen if i remove the keyring package? [00:48] It's a bit annoying, always asking for my root password, when connecting to wlan [00:48] nexsja ... unless you use it nothing should happen [00:49] the mini does not have a cd drive [00:49] celthunder, i do use it, but not by my own initiative :/ [00:49] hm, why does the default gnome-terminal profile say it is using 12pt when it really uses 9pt? [00:49] how to run winxp inside ubuntu like vmware for windows [00:49] mankash, VirtualBox [00:49] mankash you can use vmware to run xp in ubuntu [00:49] mankash: vmnware and virtualbox exist for linux [00:49] any idea? [00:50] vmware is not free though? [00:50] you have to use the server edition with browser plugin which sucks? [00:50] who needs vmware, when you have virtualbox :> [00:50] styol: I'm checking www.mydellmini.com - but nothing defintive yet... [00:50] indeed, virtualbox is simple yet does the job great [00:50] Guest72017,my lsb-release doesn't say the system is 32 or 64 bit [00:50] and seamless in virtualbox is nice [00:50] windwhinny: and how can detect it?? [00:51] thanks [00:51] Guest72017, gnome terminal.........

Missed that part. [00:56] Harryy: auth.log.1 is logrotate rotating the logs [00:56] mdg on the left click there is no Wireless Network option like there used to be, however on right mouse click there is "Edit Wireless Networks" which wasnt appearing in the real system, but it just loads a manager with no AP's listed [00:56] zamba: okay. about the rest of my question though? [00:56] Harryy: auth.log will be the file with the latest entries in [00:56] Harryy: no, i believe fail2ban will only use auth.log (or the one file you specify) [00:57] zamba: but why when i start sshd, it doesnt make nor try to access my auth.log file? [00:57] and when I ssh in, it doesnt log me etc [00:57] IsmAvatar: people tell me that testdisk http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk sometimes restores lost partitions... [00:57] Harryy: try restarting syslog instead [00:57] styol: is there an enable networking option there? [00:57] Harryy: see what happens then [00:57] Harryy: and remove the auth.log-file you've created [00:57] mdg yeah [00:57] i installed through wubi and now i need to partition more space for / i am basically out, what are my options [00:57] mdg and it is checked [00:57] Harryy: so, to summarize.. remove auth.log and restart syslog [00:58] zamba: okay. so stop it and remove all auto.log* files?

[01:02] mankash: everything in linux is a file, so nothing it tied to the underlying hardware [01:02] :| [01:02] ceil420, unmount....then you should be able to free up that and move it.. [01:03] i don't like crap on my desktop [01:03] zamba: but kernel is [01:03] !fsck [01:03] fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot [01:03] Hello Does any body familiar with installing TTYredirector onto ubuntu machine [01:03] zamba: I re ran the syslogdaemon, and reran sshd, still did not make the .log file [01:03] mdg interesting, im reading.. first thing i noticed was compatible flash drives, ive probably not got that right now [01:03] ooh.. how does one turn off the routine checking of drives when booting? or the bad shutdown check? [01:03] casn install LAMP as one package to have mysql-server apache2 ..etc? [01:03] mankash: yeah, but if you're running ubuntu you're running a standard kernel and not one that's modified for specific hardware [01:03] ta DrWillis, [01:03] rayok: see what teh bot said. :) [01:03] guys, are any of you having problems with "hardware drivers" [01:03] Harryy: try logging in and see what happens? [01:03] it keeps crashing for me :( [01:03] rayok: its best to let the thing check... [01:03] styol: I thought you were running ubuntu from a USB flash drive on our mini [01:04] Harryy: and give it time to flush the log entries to disk [01:04] zip, how do i not have an icon while the drive is mounted? [01:04] mdg: yeah i am thats what i meant [01:04] zamba: I can simply change the motherboard without touching ubuntu install [01:04] ok.. then is there anyway to tell which file(s) on the hd that make it stop for a while? [01:04] DeSian: you need libapache2-mod-php5, mysql-server, php5-mysql [01:04] mankash: yup [01:04] its just... a Sandisk MicroMate usb adapter for a Sandisk SD [01:04] h [01:04] zamba: thanks great [01:04] 522/1726 or something [01:04] Mortis: thats plenty for ubuntu. More ram is always good. but ive ran ubuntu on 1/2 that machines power... [01:04] hello?, ANYONE else having problems connecting to jockey backend??? [01:04] mankash: in theory, at least :) [01:04] zamba: relogged in. "sudo nano /etc/log/auth.log" gives me "New File", and if I tab on "auth", it doesnt give me any options [01:04] mankash: but i'm pretty confident that it'll work just perfectly [01:05] mdg just my particular usb stick isnt mentioned cause its a usb adapter with a sd plugin..

[01:06] DrWillis, one more - I was copying some files (about 300Gb worth) from a folder on the desktop and the file browser windows and the file operations window disapeared and so did all my desktop icons too. I can't find the remaining 50odd gb folder on the desktop, has it gone, or will a fsck fix it? [01:06] bucky: thanks that worked (even though it said I already had the same version installed) [01:06] styol: your welcome :) Good luck and let us know how it goes [01:06] mdg absolutely, will do.. should be a sec here hehe [01:06] anyone know how to get photoshop CS4 working on ubuntu 9.04?

[01:08] how can i get rid of these partition icons on my desktop (while keeping the partition mounted)? [01:08] rayok, I've tried a few, but as of right now the latest 1.1.26 all of the installs after 1.1.17 from wineDB say are garbage... [01:08] m1dlg: its possible there was some sort of error on the usb hd and it stoped copying the files over as it crashed. [01:08] where is sources.list located?? [01:08] Drained: /etc/apt/ [01:08] it's etc/ then what [01:08] what is the command to know the ram usage? [01:08] Drained: `sudo find . | grep sources' [01:08] OOH thanks rayok. [01:08] hello [01:08] Drained: man sources.list [01:08] mankash: free [01:09] It's the files on the desktop thats missing, so I guess a HDD failure is iminent [01:09] rayok: and I can't find any versions lower then 1.1.18 that are supported by 9.04 [01:09] Drained: learn the command 'locate sources.list' :) [01:09] I'm going to try a go with spinrite tomorrow [01:09] and waste cpu searching for something that im in the directory of? no thanks. [01:09] i have a vpn connection up, such that i have an interface 'tun0'. i would like to route all my traffic through tun0 - it seems i can use 'route' to do this, but i don't know exactly what to do with route. is anyone familiar with it?

Not a good idea [01:20] deexannihilate: Okay, I'll guess what?? [01:20] donnybrasco: what if you reinstalled the app 3 min later.. You just erased everyones customized settings. :) [01:20] ironfoot_495: worked for me.. 490 users oh.. is your nick registered? [01:20] styol: you did choose use whole drive right?

[02:00] raulh, then how i could, in the past, set the imap and pop in outlook express? [02:00] felix_: If a mail service supports mail clients they require a help page for settings otherwise they dont support it. I know Gmail does for sure.

[02:13] mdg: they are all the same drive (different partitions) [02:13] The Purple 8 Ball says: Unclear [02:13] MK13: unmount your removable storage before you unplug them? [02:13] linuxguy2009: Please help this channel stay ontopic, go to #ubuntu-offtopic for non-support discussion. [02:13] linuxguy2009: 185 drivers much better then 180 or is there not much of a diffrence? [02:13] MK13: wow! I couldn't get that set up if I were trying LOL [02:13] mdg: ok [02:13] Flannel: I see so your not a mod. hehe Dont be a troll. [02:13] bucky, they are partitions of the same hard drive, they are just FreeBSD slices that can't be mounted in ubuntu so i don't want them shown [02:13] HELLO! Is there any reference or book like "Ubuntu Web Server for Dummies" that exists somewhere?! [02:14] deexannihilate: you are in your desktop directory, in a terminal? [02:14] raulh: There newer. Better support for newer cards. [02:14] LAMP is pretty self explanitory blownewb. [02:14] !apache | blognewb [02:14] linuxguy2009: i think the only moderator is the floodbot [02:14] blognewb: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [02:14] ok thanks lg09/ [02:14] mdg: yes [02:14] any good ocr software you guys know of ? [02:14] REGISTER leet4christ [02:15] linuxguy2009: You'll want to try that again. [02:15] MK13: interesting, so they're not in fstab or mtab [02:15] styol: Yeah I just find it annoying when people pretend to be mods and also hide behind ubottu. [02:15] er, leet4christ [02:15] Let's pretend that didn't happen. === linux__ is now known as good [02:15] I'm new to IRC, okay? ;-; [02:15] Flannel: God bless you. [02:15] linuxguy2009: Eh? [02:15] leet4christ /msg NickServ SETPASS [02:15] i have two swap spaces, how can i combine them using gparted [02:15] : [02:15] deexannihilate: okay. To unzip the file type: tar zxvf AR81-Linux.... [02:16] leet4christ: thats an awesome password tho [02:16] lol, dumb question, but how do i open a .run file? [02:16] new to IRC also. kind of confusing [02:16] Thanks. I stick to repeating patterns that are still tough. [02:16] :| [02:16] lol [02:16] mdg, it is just three partitions... the first is FreeBSD which makes about 5 different slices which show up as partitions themselves in ubuntu [02:16] bucky, nope none of them are in fstab [02:17] irc confusing lol thats calling windows hard [02:17] never mind. [02:17] i can sh ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-185.18.31-pkg1.run [02:17] hey guys [02:17] mdg: ok. this is where we ended up last time. it says gzip: stdim: decompression ok, trailing garbage ignored. tar: child returned status 2 tar: error exit delayed from previous errors [02:17] hmm, how do i Close "X"? [02:17] deexannihilate: the reference I am looking at says to ignore that message [02:17] MK13: what's the driver for bsd's filesystem.. does it show up in lsmod ? [02:18] Got a couple of n00b questions, but I'll do my part and answer what I can too. [02:18] raulh: as in the graphical environment? [02:18] when i connect to my desktop using vnc i get the first screen fine but after that whatever i do doesn't show in the client. the client doesnt get refreshed. i see everything fine in the server, but in the client its just frozen [02:18] mdg: so I press ok? It is the only option [02:18] any idea how to fix it? [02:18] Yeah, i need to close it in order to install my nvidia drivers arand. [02:18] deexannihilate: yes [02:18] mdg: ok [02:18] deexannihilate: so now I guess we plug in ethernet and restart networking to see if it works: [02:19] Okay-- first. I'm using an old Latitude D610-- how do I disable the little mouse stub in the middle of the keyboard? I think the friction of my typing on the keys is causing it to go haywire. [02:19] whats the difference between bsd and ubuntu? [02:19] deexannihilate: once you plug in ethernet type: /etc/init.d/networking restart [02:19] bucky, i don't know what the drivers for the partitions are, but they even show up as unknown in gparted [02:19] bsd is linux [02:19] idunno, bsd isnt even linux [02:19] raulh: ctrl alt f2 then sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop [02:19] bsd is linux's daddy [02:19] mdg: it is still at the archive manager [02:19] idunno: the kernel for a start, BSD uses BSD, and Ubuntu uses Linux [02:19] mdg: do I close it? [02:19] isnt ubuntu linux? [02:19] idunno, bucky: Please take this conversation to #ubuntu-offtopic [02:20] deexannihilate: oh, you unzipped through gui? [02:20] mdg: no, I unzipped it through the terminal like you said and it opened it [02:20] deexannihilate: oh.. I guess just close it [02:20] Flannel: im pretty sure we are talking about ubuntu. not sure what you mean [02:21] mdg: ok. I went back to the terminal. and pressed enter again. it listed the files. [02:21] deexannihilate: cool! [02:21] raulh: hum, I think you can do that by first jumping out to terminal (ctrl+alt+F2, {ctrl+alt+F7, to get back}) and then use "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop" [02:21] idunno: This channel is for Ubuntu technical support only, for discussions about Ubuntu policy, background, history, etc, #ubuntu-offtopic is the place to be. [02:21] bucky, and now after opening gparted all the slices are all showing up as just 1 partition (which they are) [02:22] deexannihilate: plug in your ethernet cable and at the command line type: /etc/init.d/networking restart [02:22] idunno: http://www.lmgtfy.com/?q=what's the difference between linux and bsd [02:22] i can't adjust the volume of my headphones. help! [02:22] Ok I seem to be lost, what do I need to do to get a NAS to show up? [02:22] mdg: I don't have a splitter today! [02:22] bucky: ty === iosif is now known as anachoret [02:22] mdg: so, i'll have to sign off and do it. what else am i supposed to do [02:23] Tiger4CR1200: what kind of NAS? [02:23] bucky, i liked that [02:23] haha [02:23] Hammer Myshare N1200 [02:23] anyone know where the wine menu list is? [02:23] deexannihilate: okay... I wait until you come back [02:23] that was to sfmadmax [02:23] mdg: ok [02:23] styol: how did it go? [02:24] TigerCR1200: Hmm im not familiar with it.. On the NAS did you create shares for the hard disks ??? if so were they NFS shares or SMB/CIFS shares?? or are you not sure? [02:24] sfmadmax, I am not sure, it is not telling me let me see if I can get there on the config. [02:26] mdg: it says ifdown failed to open statefile /var/run/network/ifstate: permission denied and ifup: failed to open statefile /var/run/network/ifstate: permission denied [02:26] TigerCR1200: see if you can find the config interface for the NAS.. you will want to create NFS shares "if possible" for best performance.. rather than Samba shares [02:26] sfmadmax, for shares I have one default named "media_library" it shows to support CIFS, FTP, NFS and HTTP [02:26] deexannihilate: oh, sorry I think we needed sudo? sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart? [02:27] hi [02:27] .seen edoceo [02:27] TigerCR1200: ok, is it marked as already shared? if So, is NFS already configured for it ? Is there a configure portion for the NFS section? [02:27] deexannihilate: or just click on the network icon [02:27] mdg: I'm afraid to click on it! [02:27] sfmadmax, let me see [02:27] anyone know if wine uses /etc/hosts or its own win32 host file? [02:28] mdg: earlier, i plugged in the cable and the wireless shut off and i couldn't get it back on. the "enable wireless" disappeared! [02:28] mdg: i'll try it with sudo first. brb [02:29] aaroninfidel: i see no hosts file in my .wine sub directroy at all. [02:30] mdg: ok. it says it reconfiguring and says ok on the right [02:30] Dr_Willis: so you think it uses /etc/hosts? [02:30] aaroninfidel: add an entry to /etc/hosts and test it out. [02:31] deexannihilate1: cool! so ethernet is working? [02:31] aaroninfidel: i would guess that it does. [02:31] hi [02:32] has anyone had an issue with internet speeds dropping to next to nothing after the 2.6.28-14 kernel patch? [02:32] I went from being able to download at 500kbps to 20kbps in the last 5 days [02:32] and naturally everything is just fine in windows :| [02:33] slowslowss: not had any issues here. [02:33] showslowss: same here.. no issues.. [02:33] slowslowss: this is wired or wireless networking? what network cards.. try booting to the older kernel see if it gets faster? [02:34] anyone have any experience installing ubuntu on a macbook pro? [02:34] slowslowss: maybe its your ISP [02:34] mdg: it should just work? [02:34] flyingtabmow: is that a PPC? [02:34] mdg: no [02:34] mdg: no, intel [02:34] !mac [02:34] To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [02:34] deexannihilate1: still no ethernet? hmmm [02:35] mdg: issue is my cd drive is busted, so i can't install via livecd [02:35] Hmm.. theres proberly a forum thread on using Ubuntu and macs but not sure if thers a factoid on it. [02:35] mdg: would i need to restart? [02:35] flyingtabmow: cant boot from usb flash ? [02:35] deexannihilate1: perhaps a full shut down and reboot, but first... [02:35] deexannihilate1: did you let ubuntu update after in the reinstall? [02:35] deexannihilate1: update after reinstall [02:36] mdg: it never prompted me too. I can't connect through wireless now. it is there, but it won't connect. [02:36] need serious help. my keyboard mouse is going crazy on my laptop, and I can't turn it off [02:36] Dr_Willis: well i'd like to... i partitioned a usb ext hd, then dd'd the ubuntu iso onto one of the partitions, but i have no experience with refit and i can't get it to recognize the partition as bootable [02:36] mdg: can we attempt to update the wireless? [02:36] flyingtabmow, you ever thought of Unetbootin [02:36] deexannihilate1: lets just unplug ethernet and shutdown and reboot and see how wireless is [02:36] thiebaude: no... ? [02:36] flyingtabmow: i use the unetbootin to make a bootable flash drive (a 1 gb one can work) and boot from it to install my systems. You dont just 'dd' an iso to a disk and expect it to be bootable (that ive ever heard of) [02:37] mdg: ok. scared! :) [02:37] !unetbootin [02:37] For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [02:37] deexannihilate1: it would be a lot scarier without your desktop working === Test is now known as Guest22453 [02:37] No idea if theres unetbootin for os-x [02:37] styol: ? you with us? [02:38] mdg: true! did I tell you I restarted with the ethernet cable in this morning and the wireless disppeared? [02:38] mdg: wait 30 seconds? [02:38] Dr_Willis: right, that's the issue i think [02:38] Dr_Willis: i'd read through that page [02:38] deexannihilate1: thats a good rule of thumb [02:38] hey everybody, i recently install 9.03 and after importing my music files (from a ntfs partition) the majority of them is showing their time's being unknown.. has this happened to anybody? [02:38] that ubottu linked [02:38] msg: may I ask why? [02:38] Any idea on how to activate the web-interface of CUPS? All I get when I enter the correct adress to the server, all I get is "Error: Couldn't connect to host" Do I need to restart cups? If so, how to do that? [02:39] wokkawokka: nope, but FYI it's 9.04 [02:39] chuckmoney: ty [02:39] wokkawokka: normally I would say the issue is file permissions, but you can see title and artist, right? [02:39] deexannihilate1: that's what I learned from a computer geek friend - time for stuff to "discharge" [02:39] whats up [02:39] OttifantSir: i think the default cups config may only allow admin, from a local connection 127.0.0.1. or perhaps a local lan. [02:40] mdg: ok. it has restarted. shall I attempt to connect to wireless? [02:40] OttifantSir: check cups.org for details on configuring the cups server. [02:40] mdg: it isn't there!!!!!! [02:40] chuckmoney: yep, could see everything aside for the time.. and that's only for the majority of the mp3's... all of these have worked fine in the past [02:40] deexannihilate1: yes lets see what you get [02:40] deexannihilate1: click on the networking icon [02:40] mdg: the same thing happened earlier [02:40] gonna try isotostick.sh, see if that does anything [02:40] what ubuntu are you guys running off from? i am on Xubuntu 9.04 [02:40] wokkawokka: if so, that's not it, because if you can read the ID3 tags on the files, you should be able to read those times, and since you can see artist, clearly you can read the tags. [02:41] mdg: when I right click, the enable wireless is missing [02:41] how do i install libSDL 1.2? [02:41] Dr_Willis: I am on a local lan, and the server is headless, and I don't know how to use text-based browsers. I can't even ssh -X into the server and start system-config-printer because it can't create Gdk.cursor [02:42] chuckmoney: word =/ [02:42] deexannihilate1: oh... back to where we started... [02:42] Hey guys, how can I stop iptables from command line? [02:42] deexannihilate1: if wireless isn't working, is ethernet? Plug it in [02:42] mdg: can we check ifup to see if it exists or if it entirely disappeared [02:42] mdg: ok brb [02:42] Does anybody know how to disable the "safe graphics mode" dialog in GDM and get it to just ignore the errors? I have a problem with some harmless errors that is causing GDM to bomb out, when it would otherwise work (i.e. when I start X manually). [02:42] is there a way to see what days you connected to a certain wireless connection ? [02:42] mdg hey there sorry about that [02:43] hopefully ressetting it will fix the problem haha [02:43] styol: did your install work? [02:43] mdg: negative [02:43] mdg im not really sure what to make of it... it got to about 42% and then system froze again so i was like.. lemme just walk away and give it a second... [02:44] mdg came back to it right now and it was a black screen, moved the mouse and it came back to life so i guess its still doing its thing... [02:44] OttifantSir: learn to use the text based browsers then.. or install the x desktop to allow you to ssh -X in, or check out the cups configs to see if they are defaulting to allow remote admin. Or check the cups.org docs to learn to admin cups via the command line. [02:44] deexannihilate: I think when you tried to ethernet this morining without the right module for it installed, it wiped out your wireless [02:44] schnootop: dnt think so [02:44] !#@%#$!# isotostick requires linux tools... [02:44] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [02:44] styol: that's great news! [02:44] epaphus, I'm pretty sure that without iptables you have no default route for packets and you can't get any traffic through, so you don't want to shut it down. however, you may want to clear a block rule in it. check "man iptables" or "man ipchains" [02:44] ok i have a system at home running 9.04 with remote desktop setup with a password. i can log in from here (work) and watch the cursor move around but it doesnt respond to keyboard input or mouse clicks. any suggestions ? [02:44] mdg: I completely reinstalled on the way home for work. so it is completely fresh [02:44] deexannihilate: I forgot what the wireless module was we probed for [02:45] hey whats up [02:45] Dr_Willis: links 2 has a gui in text modes [02:45] my mouse is spazzin. :c [02:45] Seronis: you have to tick the box to enable control from the remote client [02:45] mdg yup yup! indeed... i think i just need to make sure to move the mouse ever so often to prevent it from sleeping and.. just expect that it will seem like its frozen i spose hehe [02:45] epaphus: you might also want to try firestarter, it's a nice GUI to iptables [02:45] chuckmoney, thanks [02:45] Dr_Willis: I'm at cups.org right now. Will see how it works out. Good news is that I finally got NFS to work, and the problem I had with apt-get yesterday seems to have resolved itself. [02:45] Seronis: "Allow others to control your desktop" [02:45] preferences > mouse > disable touchpad doesn't work. [02:45] finally got photoshop running on wine!! :D [02:45] deexannihilate: can you do a "lsmod" from a command line and see if you see anything familiar for wireless drive [02:45] gogeta: if ya got the frameuffer installed.. and that wont do much good if hes sshing in. :) [02:45] mdg: I'm not sure, but I just finished reinstalling remix when I signed onto here [02:45] Jeremy23: i double checked that was ticked before i came to work today. thought it might have been the problem when it failed to work yesterday [02:45] nice, aaron! [02:45] Seronis: "View only" isn't set in your client, is it? [02:46] OttifantSir: the default cups.org here seems to be only listening on 'Listen localhost:631' in the cupsd.conf file. [02:46] OttifantSir: i think you can change that to a ip range. somehow.. :) [02:46] Dr_Willis: oh yea ssh wget and links will be what you wanna use and maybe mc [02:46] mdg: what exactly am i looking for? [02:46] aaroninfidel, wtg! [02:46] Jeremy23: nope. have both tightvnc and ultravnc installed on my laptop here.. and both viewers are able to log into my winxp box at the same location with no issues [02:46] ath_pci? [02:46] Dr_Willis: Is that cupsd.conf located in /etc? [02:46] need some help with my keyboard mouse. [02:46] deexannihilate: something like AR8113 [02:47] Jeremy23: both systems are running on different ports and ports are properly forwarded in the router at home [02:47] Seronis: you dont need 2 clients to connect to same server [02:47] OttifantSir: in /etc/cups i think.. also.. if you have cups running on a different machine on the same lan. i THINK you can configure pc #2 from that first pc.. [02:47] dude i had to rebuild this whole computer that i am on now and when i finished and i restored the hard drive it was still running on Windows ME!!!Lol so i had to wipe the hard drive and and install Xubuntu 9.04 [02:47] Seronis: *shrugs* not sure myself then === lipsin__ is now known as lipsin [02:47] gogeta: true. but i have both clients installed on this laptop. and both clients work fine when connecting to a different machine running a vnc server at the same house [02:47] kent: good call ! [02:47] Dr_Willis: Thanks for the assistance. It seems I need to do more of what I preach: Patience and reference. [02:48] hola late-nighters [02:48] yep [02:48] mdg: i don't see anything [02:48] jeremy23: i can log in via ssh (or could yesterday, havent tried today). you happen to know what commands would uninstall and reinstall the vnc server used in 9.04 [02:48] ? [02:48] having some issues here... I installed the *recommended* NVIDIA drivers on my 9.04 xubuntu, and after i reboot, i get this battery check that i cant get past [02:48] deexannihilate: do you know how to copy to pastebin? [02:48] Seronis: uninstalling and reinstalling won't do the trick [02:48] Anyone know how /etc/ppp/resolv/ works? What do I name the files? [02:48] Seronis: what server is it? [02:49] OttifantSir: you could add the line Listen 192.0.2.1:631 [02:49] hello, apologize if I am in the wrong group [02:49] Seronis: the one from the GUI tool? [02:49] anyone know what to do to make an ubuntu install iso bootable when copied to a partition? [02:49] OttifantSir: to make it listen on the external ip also. I think [02:49] Jeremy23: its whatever is used in ubuntu as 'remote desktop' in the preferences menu [02:49] Seronis: If so, then configuration is per-user, so uninstalling and reinstalling won't even touch the configuration. [02:49] i did the other day but i don't remember [02:49] flyingtabmow: you dont do it that way.. booting requires kernel files and a boot loader normally [02:49] but I am looking for a program or process that I can take a encrypted dvd and rip it to the VOB files to burn to a dvd-duallayer, no encoding or nothing [02:49] deexannihilate: can you copy the output from "lsmod" to http://pastebin.ubuntu.com [02:49] flyingtabmow, I think if you follow the same instructions for copying an ISO to a USB flash drive it should work on a standard HDD [02:49] then just un-install the Nvidia drivers and re-install it [02:50] flyingtabmow: i do think that may be a feature of the next grub release however. :P [02:50] Seronis: try this: [02:50] I am having keyboard mapping issues in GDM when accessing via XDMCP. The mappings are crazy, I can't type anything all the mappings are jumbled. Anyone know anything about this? [02:50] deexannihilate: oops http://paste.ubuntu.com [02:50] Seronis: gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /desktop/gnome/remote_access [02:50] without sudo [02:50] flyingtabmow: check out the pendrivelinux web site. it may have some guides for you [02:50] deexannihilate: then copy the address back to this window so I can look at the file [02:50] !noob [02:50] Acronyms or statements like noob, jfgi, stfu, or rtfm are not welcome in this channel. Period. [02:50] douwei: that would be dcss look up mediabuntu on how to get it [02:50] !beginner [02:50] Sorry, I don't know anything about beginner [02:50] Dr_Willis, will using the USB boot instructions on a standard HDD not work? [02:50] Dr_Willis: how does the livecd itself work then? you'd think if it has all the files necessary to boot when inserted then copying them into a partition would allow you to do something similar [02:51] !apt [02:51] APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome) or !Adept (KDE) [02:51] chuckmoney: not sure.. ive never tried it on a actual hard drive... [02:51] well i am running Xubuntu 9.04 on a system that has 935MHz processor and only 191MB RAM lol sad isn't it [02:51] flyingtabmow: the live cd has sysiso on it as a bootloader i recall. ( a variant of syslinux) [02:51] chuckmoney: any idea how to copy the iso to a usb under mac os x? none of the soluitons posted on the community wiki's apply to osx [02:51] lol [02:51] kent old school is the way to go man, I commend you [02:51] Jeremy23: when i just putty'd into my admin account the last thing in the MOTD displayed is "*** restart required ***" [02:51] lol === CopyWriter__ is now known as CopyWriter [02:51] jeremy23: would any recent kernel updates (what i assume made that message display) keep svn from working properly ? [02:52] Dr_Willis: Is that a universal external interface adress? Meaning that even if I have my local net on 192.168.x.x the 192.0.2.1 adress will work? [02:52] trying your command now though... [02:52] flyingtabmow: making a bootable cd is an interesting 'task' theres more to it then just files on the cd. [02:52] flyingtabmow, I think you'll need to extract it, StuffIt Expander should have that capability, then just copy them like any other files [02:52] hi i am recovering data from a Windows Vista drive, and the contents of some folders are empty but there was data in them. any ideas? [02:52] flyingtabmow: look up unetbootin it works on all oses [02:52] chuckmoney: what is wtg? [02:52] OttifantSir: use the ip you want it to listen to. that was an example. [02:52] Seronis: nah, definitely not [02:52] Yep i fixed this computer from the grave Lol i bought this thing from a yard sale lol but hey it works yo [02:52] mdg: http://paste.ubuntu.com/246812/ [02:52] aaroninfidel, way to go. good job getting photoshop to work in wine :) [02:52] gogeta: hmm cool i thought it was only windows [02:52] i'll check that out then [02:53] I am having keyboard mapping issues in GDM when accessing via XDMCP. The mappings are crazy, I can't type anything all the mappings are jumbled. Anyone know anything about this? [02:53] having a problem getting virtualhosts working on a fresh apache2 install in Jaunty. Pulling a sites-enabled/ config from a working install, but I just end up with the It Works! page ... [02:53] flyingtabmow: linux and osx as well [02:53] OttifantSir: you might also have to 'allow' remote admin by 192.168.* also. [02:53] chuckmoney: thanks! :) [02:53] gogeta: the webpage just says windows and linux [02:53] gogeta: is there an unofficial build for osx somewhere? [02:53] Can someone tell me how to page up in a terminal window so I can view the (very long) output of a command? [02:53] Jeremy23: ok command sent. no feedback from it though [02:54] JamesE: the CONSOLE? or a xterm? try the pageup key? [02:54] shift pageup [02:54] [02:54] Seronis: yeah, you'll need to log out, enable remote desktop from the GUI again, etc. [02:54] gogetta, i installed the libdvdcss but need a program now to extract the vobs [02:54] jamese: alt n and alt p [02:54] shift pageup worked, thanks! [02:54] yep i even brought this thing into a computer fixing place and they couldn't fix it so i brought it home and i Fixed it in 2 days lol [02:54] after i installed the latest nvidia drivers, my desktop freezes at "checking battery state".. any ideas how to fix it? [02:54] 2 days Vs. 2 weeks [02:54] JamesE: if you pipe into less it's easier to move around [02:54] Gah, I have forgotten so much in the last six years [02:55] Dr_Willis: so i guess there's no way to convince the computer to pretend the hd partition is a cd drive ;) [02:55] you decide wich is better [02:55] flyingtabmow: you can getthe system to mount an iso file [02:55] flyingtabmow: it dont work that way.. and macs are even weirder.... [02:55] evening all [02:55] jeremy23: the 9.04 system in question is set to autorelog after 30 second delay.. rebooting from ssh will be enough to do what you think i need, right ? [02:55] flyingtabmow: or a block device (hdd) that has a cdrom filesystem on it. [02:55] flyingtabmow: but only at the os level === me is now known as Guest33022 [02:56] Seronis: just restart GDM [02:56] is there anyway to get programs for Mac OSX to work with ubuntu? [02:56] Seronis: sudo invoke-rc.d gdm restart [02:56] nevyn: yeah sure but i need to boot from it [02:56] flyingtabmow: pendrivelinux might have docs on making a bootable flash drive using varioys other commands [02:56] aaroninfidel: not really [02:56] got a usb webcam problem n e one feel like having a bash? [02:56] Hey dose any body know how to fix a screen that keeps going skinny?? [02:56] Dr_Willis: cool i'll go check that out then [02:56] Dr_Willis: thanks for the help [02:56] deexannihilate: you lsmod shows wlan = 1 ath_pci so I assume wireless should be working [02:57] the u3 hardware can pretend to be a cdrom [02:57] how do i install a ttf font file on Ubuntu? [02:57] or more specifically GIMP? === amdurant1 is now known as amdurante [02:57] Bradj47: copy it to your ~/.fonts directory [02:57] like useualy all i had to do is hit the thing then it would go back to normal but now its so messed up it stays skinny anybody that can help me????? [02:57] anyone know if the acer aspire one wireless driver is called for AR242x? [02:57] Bradj47: You'll need to create it first [02:58] ok thanks [02:58] mdg: it may be working, but it does not appear in the networking icon [02:58] Bradj47: In older versions, there was a graphical way to do it, but of course they had to remove it. [02:58] *grumble* [02:58] mdg: I know how to open the network controller, but it doesn't give me the option to connect [02:58] deexannihilate: one test is from command line type: sudo iwlist scan [02:58] Dr_Willis: just read about it, its because of the Carbon/Coco Frameworks that aren't open source. [02:59] hello, I'm having some trouble with AWN - I can't load any launchers into the dock. Can anyone help with this? [02:59] flyingtabmow: acoording to apple user osc has that abilty built in [02:59] anyone else have any suggestions on how to rip an encrypted dvd to the VOB files alone? [02:59] deexannihilate: does your network icon show two computers or stairstep height bars? [02:59] osx [02:59] mdg: interface doesn't support scanning [02:59] does /tmp get cleaned out automatically by the OS? [02:59] mdg: stairstep height bars [02:59] ddoom_: on reboot, yes === vm is now known as ge [02:59] Jeremy23, any other times? [02:59] ddoom_: if you look with ls -l, you'll notice it has the "t" permission set. [02:59] ddoom_: no [03:00] gogeta: hmmm... you mean making a partition bootable? [03:00] deexannihilate: if stairstep - that means it is trying to use wireless [03:00] how do I get persistence working in ubuntu 9.04 I have the casper-rw partition but it does not save changes [03:00] flyingtabmow: you can just boot the live cd and make one that way [03:00] Jeremy23, ok thanks [03:00] ddoom_: I wouldn't recommend cleaning it manually. A couple of things (such as D-Bus) keep their sockets in there. [03:00] ANYBODY THAT WOULD HELP ME i have a problem with my screen. My screen keeps going skinny and all i usualy have to do is hit the monitor but now its stuck on skinny DOSE ANYBODY KNOW HOW TO FIX IT OR WHAT THE PROBLEM IS?? [03:00] flyingtabmow: its been in ubuntu sence 8.10 [03:00] gogeta: unfortunately i can't, my cd drive is broken [03:00] oh [03:00] deexannihilate: right click the stairstep network icon and look at "connection information" [03:00] how do I get persistence working in ubuntu 9.04 I have the casper-rw partition but it does not save changes [03:01] gogeta: hence the desire to install from a flash drive at all [03:01] kent: possibly a refresh rate problem [03:01] mdg: edit connections? [03:01] \ ANYBODY THAT WOULD HELP ME i have a problem with my screen. My screen keeps going skinny and all i usualy have to do is hit the monitor but now its stuck on skinny DOSE ANYBODY KNOW HOW TO FIX IT OR WHAT THE PROBLEM IS? [03:01] kent; might be your caps-lock ;) [03:01] kent: do you mean you have to physically hit the monitor? [03:01] oh ok [03:01] deexannihilate: actually, I just want to see if you are geting an IP address [03:01] mdg: connection information is not available [03:01] yes i had to phisically hit the monitor [03:01] hi, when I write so mod_rewrite ist working for my cool webapp. when I write , so mod rewrite isn't working. what I have to write in the directory-path, to enable mod_rewrite for all web-directorys on my test-server? [03:01] i was just kidding [03:01] how do I get persistence working in ubuntu 9.04 I have the casper-rw partition but it does not save changes [03:01] but earlyer it was working grwat [03:01] sounds like a problem with the monitor to me [03:02] mdg: edit connections and about are the only thing I can click on [03:02] great [03:02] kent: then you need a new monitor, not fixing your operating system :-P [03:02] deexannihilate: since we are at connections, does ethernet show anything? [03:02] kent; if you hit it to get it working again, at one point that wont work any more, and you usually gotta buy a new one.. [03:02] try hitting it harder :P [03:02] no no no the OS is a different story not even close to this one [03:02] a hammer generally works best [03:02] mdg: it says no network connections [03:02] watch out for the glass shards, though [03:02] kent: the fact that you did have to hit it before indicates the monitor having passed it's best-before date. [03:02] deexannihilate: what about the wireless tab? [03:03] hasn't anybody an idea?: when I write so mod_rewrite is working for my cool webapp. when I write , so mod rewrite isn't working. what I have to write in the directory-path, to enable mod_rewrite for all web-directorys on my test-server? [03:03] is there a IRC group for multimedia and ubuntu [03:03] pe1: pastebin your whole apache config? [03:03] is there a way to set the menu key on my keyboard to perform right click? [03:04] When i was talking about the OS is when i got a computer that couldnt even go passed the BOOT screen [03:04] mdg: wireless tab says auto netgear_11g.. never connected. [03:04] nvidia drivers, desktop, HELP! hehe [03:04] nevermind, it works in most apps.. just not this particular one === samuelrbo is now known as samuel_rbp === samuel_rbp is now known as samuel_rbo [03:04] installed theem, now ubuntu is trying to check my desktop battery state [03:04] and it wont boot up [03:04] and earlyer today it was working awesome but then i tried it on another computer and then it started to do this [03:05] Jeremy23: k, that's my apacche2.conf: http://bin.cakephp.org/view/426947283 [03:05] -c [03:05] deexannihilate: it says "never connected?" [03:05] Anyone know why Avant Window Manager won't show any launchers anymore? [03:05] my screen shape is like this ) ( [03:05] pe1: which is the default, which you haven't modified [03:05] mdg: yes. It wouldn't connect. I believe I said that before. [03:05] pe1: what about the virtualhost config? [03:05] eknt you got a CRT screen? [03:05] thats what it looks like [03:06] *kent [03:06] fuzzy84: never heard of physically hitting an LCD before [03:06] mdg: when i first reinstalled remix after work, the wireless search circles worked but it would not pick up a connection [03:06] flyingtabmow: wouldent have a windows box [03:06] [ ) ( ] [03:06] deexannihilate: do you use encryption for wifi? [03:06] how do i enable universe repo via ssh ? [03:06] Jeremy23: I'm not a webserver-king. which filename has the virtualhost config? [03:06] kent: does it have a degauss option? [03:06] Jeremy23, im doing it couple of times daily [03:06] whats that [03:06] gogeta: no... i'm trying to figure out if i can run unetbootin in wine... could be possible [03:06] pe1: whatever file you are editing in /etc/apache2/sites/enabled/ [03:06] deexannihilate: i.e., WEP WPA or something? [03:06] since it starts making some vibration noises [03:06] i am a noob when it comes to the monitor [03:06] pe1: I mean, sites-enabled [03:07] I exited my private message window [03:07] gogeta: or under vmware, but i can't make things see my partitions in vmware [03:07] gogeta: different issue entirely though [03:07] kent: it's like a de-fuzz button [03:07] kent try going into the menu of the computer [03:07] deexannihilate: starbucks has open connection, so you can get right on [03:07] *i mean screen [03:07] gogeta: thanks a lot for the help btw [03:07] ok [03:07] Hello everyone, I know this should be easy, but I simply can [03:07] kent: look for a menu button on the front of the monitor, then look for degauss [03:07] mdg: wpa & wpa2 personal [03:07] you know, a button on the front or side or below the screen [03:07] ok [03:07] Jeremy23: I was only editing in the httpd.conf [03:07] hold up [03:08] pe1: oh right, well, it's probably going to work the same way then [03:08] t figure out how to do it. I have no write permissions as user for my MMC SD card. can anyone help? [03:08] How can I view all of the shared folders on my networks [03:08] deexannihilate: did you setup wpa connection on this acer after reinstall? [03:08] pe1: I make new files in sites-enabled, myself. [03:08] nothing didnt fix it [03:08] thank you Jeremy23 [03:08] jeremy23: how do i enable Universe via command line ? [03:08] mdg: no, it automatically sets up the wireless when I turn the computer on.I'm guessing by default. [03:08] Seronis: edit your /etc/apt/sources.list file [03:09] deexannihilate: if automatic, then its not using wpa [03:09] mdg: I didn't do anything except enter the password when it asked after startup [03:09] Jeremy23: I'm working in this two folders: http://bin.cakephp.org/pastes/edit/49154 -- but I'm not wanting to edit the httpd.conf every time, when I need mod_rewrite on a folder. [03:09] Do I have to modify the boot options in syslinux to use persistence in 9.04 [03:09] mdg: it automatically starts up as WPA and asks for password. I didn't configure anything. It's been listed as WPA since I got the computer. [03:09] pe1: maybe you want to enable .htaccess files [03:10] Jeremy23: how I can do that? :-) [03:10] oh okay. [03:10] pe1: "Option +AllowOverride" or something like that [03:10] YO Fuzzy84 ENTER THE PRIVATE CHAT IF YOU WANA HELP ME WITH MY SCREEN PROB IF YOU CAN [03:10] pe1: google for "allowoverride" [03:10] deexannihilate: try double clicking the networking icon once more to see if we can restart it [03:10] How can I see the shared folders on a computer on my network? [03:10] how do I get persistence working in ubuntu 9.04 I have the casper-rw partition but it does not save changes do I have to change boot options [03:11] flyingtabmow: from what i can find if you formmat the stick as bootable but your missing a syslinux file you gotta get from a windows machine [03:11] how do I get persistence working in ubuntu 9.04 I have the casper-rw partition but it does not save changes do I have to change boot options [03:11] and copy the files inside the iso over [03:11] jtholt: I do believe you need to add the "persistent" option to the syslinux boot line [03:11] Jeremy23: I have AllowOverride All in the pastebin. but I have to define it for every folder. how I can define it only one time? [03:11] mdg: it doesn't allow me to double click. the only option I have is to open edit connections [03:11] pe1: define it for your /var/www, and it'll work for all subdirectories [03:12] flyingtabmow: formatting a bootable usb stick and copying the iso over should work [03:12] ok i will try it Be back soon after reboot thanks for help [03:12] deexannihilate: is that a left double click or a right double clikc? [03:12] Jeremy23: I've tried. it isn't working. thats the reason for my asking here. [03:12] gogeta: yeah that's what it's looking like... http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1734145&start=15&tstart=0 seems to indicate there's no solution whatsoever to making bootable usb's from mac os x [03:12] pe1: pastebin your httpd.conf [03:13] http://bin.cakephp.org/view/426947283 [03:13] flyingtabmow: you can make bootable usb from osx its just the syslinux file needs to e changed [03:13] synirc.net [03:13] why do fonts in netbeans look so ugly? :< [03:13] be [03:13] mdg: a double left click opens the network connections menu (shows the wireless signals available.. when it works) and another click closes it. just like it you opened file in openoffice. a right click opens another menu that lists enable networking (usually enable wireless until we restarted), connection information which is dim, edit connections, and about [03:13] gogeta: i'm running unetbootin under wine at the moment, but the text rendering is all kaput so i can't see what the options are [03:13] gogeta: how would i make a bootable usb from os x? [03:13] flyingtabmow: lol [03:13] pe1: just do [03:14] quick repeat: I [03:14] but actually [03:14] deexannihilate: how long did it take you to resintall ubuntu? [03:14] flyingtabmow: donno [03:14] jeremy23: do you know the command to uninstall the remote desktop taht comes default? im gonna go with tightvncserver package instead [03:14] Argh, sorry about that. Having some fumbling hands problems [03:14] mdg: 20 minutes if that [03:14] flyingtabmow: There is a linux version of unetbootin [03:14] mdg: shall i do it again? [03:14] pe1: delete the contents of your httpd.conf, and edit /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default isntead [03:14] i just want to make sure there are no conflicts [03:14] Seronis: I doubt you can uninstall it without breaking GNOME dependencies [03:14] edbian: yeah, but i'm running os x [03:14] deexannihilate: did wireless work right after the reinstall? [03:14] Seronis: just leave it disabled [03:14] flyingtabmow: oic [03:14] :) [03:14] Question: I can [03:14] and it won't launch [03:15] anyone know how i can get java working on the arora browser? [03:15] Trying again... [03:15] Seronis: so run that recursive-unset thing I pasted you earlier [03:15] Hi, I just installed a bunch of ubuntu updates and it told me to restart, then it won't boot up. This is the error I get: http://pastebin.com/m45ca1657 I am able to log into my netbook with other kernels but not the one that updated. Anyone know why? [03:15] already ran it. i assumed that disabled it. [03:15] mdg: it worked this morning at starbucks and picked up the at&t wireless but disconnected every few minutes (as the known issue). it "worked" this evening when I installed it, but couldn't pick up my home wireless [03:15] Jeremy23: thank you =) [03:15] deexannihilate: my other question is - is it more important that wireless work or more important that ethernet works? [03:16] question: I cannot write to my MMC SD card. I used to be able to do so, but I cant do it now. I think I need to fix my permissions, but I dont know how. [03:16] Jeremy23: thanks man! there was a AllowOverride None option. *peace* :-P [03:16] mdg: wireless! [03:16] pe1: yep, that was probably overriding the one you set [03:16] anybody? [03:16] mdg: but I need to figure out how to make it work correctly [03:16] an i the only one that hates netbeans fonts? :< [03:16] pe1: as VirtualHosts are more specific than the general config outside of it [03:16] deexannihilate: I think it needs to get all the updates on a fresh install before we try to get ethernet working [03:17] AvonGenesis: Could try looking for similar issues on launchpad, searching for that particular kernel version [03:17] mdg: ok. I'll reinstall now [03:17] deexannihilate: but at this point we don't know if it will pick up with a fresh install right? [03:17] AvonGenesis: check the boot parameters for each kernel, and make sure they're the same [03:17] mdg: it works, i just don't know what it will work here because the signal [03:17] AvonGenesis: if the disk UUID is specified the same, that suggests there is a bug in the new kernel's SATA or IDE driver [03:17] i can try. [03:18] arand: I did try searching but most of the suggestions suggest that either the uuid does not exist/incorrect or that my udev didn't finished updating because I restarted early. [03:18] Jeremy23: If you use dd to make a copy of a partition both the new and old partitions will have the same UUID [03:18] deexannihilate: when you try wireless at home, try to move a little to the side of being directly under where the wireless is above you [03:18] anyone know how I can get java to work on arora web browser [03:18] Jeremy23: If that is the case, what do you suggest I do? [03:19] msg: i honestly don't know where it is exactly [03:19] AvonGenesis: Well, the udev message does point towards udev not updating correctly... [03:19] mdg: i'll try different areas [03:19] deexannihilate: after you reinstall, don't try ethernet set at all until you update - either at home or at starbucks [03:19] arand: Any idea how I can repair/fix udev? [03:19] deexannihilate: one thing you can try after reinstall is the command: sudo iwlist scan - that will show you available connections and it does show decibel strength [03:20] deexannihilate: available wireless connections [03:20] mdg: ok. will it install it all at once? or will there be a series of updates? it updated almost every day [03:20] deexannihilate: when I have installed ubuntu, I get like 200+ updates right away [03:21] deexannihilate: that's what you need to do is get the big group of updates before troubleshooting any other problesm [03:21] AvonGenesis: Unfortunately no, (there are most probably ways, but I know as little as you in that matter), You could always set the olde kernel as default and just ignore the new one... [03:21] mdg: ok. It is reloading. I'm going to grab a drink, and shower. we'll attempt this again if you are on then [03:21] deexannihilate: okay - will check back later :) [03:23] lol i am pounding the hell out of my monitor and it still wont go back to normal [03:23] arand: Alright, that sounds good to me, any idea how I can do that? Do I just rearrange the kernels in menu.lst? [03:23] keoz: tu es la? [03:24] anyone here know how I can get java working on the arora web browser? [03:25] Please, can someone help me change permissions for an MMC SD card? [03:25] I would appreciate very much. [03:25] AvonGenesis: you edit menu.lst and set default option to the number corresponding to the former kernel, guessing that'd be "3" [03:25] it- [03:26] deexannihilate: you still here? [03:26] dose anybody know were i can get java that works and will install on Xubuntu 9.04? [03:26] mdg: yes [03:26] kent: search synaptic for sun and sun-java should show up [03:27] I found a couple things to add to a blacklist file that may help give you a better wireless connection [03:27] arand: Alright thanks. I still want to figure out the problem though, I'm able to boot on the other kernel and it says my udev is fine. [03:27] AvonGenesis: actually, since it starts counting from 0, the olde kernel would probably be at no 2 [03:27] prinneh: open up terminal, type gksudo nautilus. Navigate to your /media folder. Right click on the SD card and go to the permissions tab. [03:27] scunizi: thanks [03:27] AvonGenesis: Indeed, that is kind of confusing. [03:28] arand: If it helps, the kernel that is broken is the ubuntu netbook one. The one that is working is ubuntu generic if that helps. [03:28] Is there a tool to merge two pdf files together. One file has odd numbered pages and the other even. I want them to merge like you were shuffling a deck of cards without the randomness [03:29] alright. it is 94% done [03:29] How do I turn my wifi laptop into like a sub access point on my existing network [03:29] AvonGenesis: - I missed your post - netbook remix is broken? [03:29] mdg: let me jump in the shower super quick and i'll be back! [03:29] a [03:29] deexannihilate: okay [03:29] because the laptop can reach the signal of the wifi router [03:30] but the other computer cant [03:30] mdg: Yes, my netbook remix kernel is broken but I am able to boot into the generic kernel. [03:30] so can I use the laptop to rebroadcast the signal [03:30] AvonGenesis: what netbook you have? [03:30] or bridge the connection [03:30] scunizi: there's a command line tool that at the very least will let you concatenate pdf files (and I seem to recall could do more) but I don't really remember the details... [03:30] mdg: I have an asus eee pc 1000HE. [03:31] uberben: wouldn't be "pdfedit" would it? it has a command line function and gui but is overly complicated to use. [03:31] AvonGenesis: I'm helping deexannihilate with her acer aspire one D250 - wifi issues [03:31] I tried looking up synaptic for sun and no downloads just news :( [03:32] hi guys [03:32] AvonGenesis: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/devmapper/+bug/358654 << Might that help you? Issue seems similar. [03:32] can anyone help me? [03:32] anyone else here with an acer aspir D250 [03:32] besides deexannihilate [03:32] who knows of a lightweight browser that has good flash and java support? [03:33] Wired7: What's the problem? We won't know if we can help until we know the problem. [03:33] firefox is too clunky [03:33] dose anybody know were i can get java that will work on Xubuntu 9.04 [03:33] mdg: I was reading that post but I wasn't sure whether it would work, but that perfectly described my problem. [03:33] hello [03:33] is no one here...? [03:33] arand: I was about to read that :P [03:33] How do I connect to Windows Shares in Ubuntu 9.04 SMB://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx does not work [03:33] i am [03:33] Wired7: You need to say what the problem is before anyone can help. [03:33] AvonGenesis: you want arand - he posted [03:33] Wired7: yes pple are here [03:34] mdg: Oh, woops it went to the wrong person xD [03:34] scunizi: sorry, it has been so long since I've needed to mess with PDFs. try gs or pdftk [03:34] AvonGenesis: np - happens a lot actually [03:34] sorry my phone was lagging. So I'm not sure what I did, but know my ubuntu won't recognize any wireless connections. I'm on my phone typing this [03:34] arand: Yea, that helps arand, I'll give it a try and see what happens. [03:34] anyone got any good linux blogs? [03:34] dose anybody know were i can get java that will work on Xubuntu 9.04 [03:34] AvonGenesis: Good luck!

I have ubuntu 9.04 installed on a partition but for some reason the browser seems to be running slow, I added the primary and secondary dns server in resolv.conf, turned off ipv6 in about:config, dropped my mtu to 1452 and added alias net-pf-10 ipv6 off [03:35] kent: applications add/remove java runtime? [03:35] alias net-pf-10 off [03:35] alias ipv6 off [03:35] #alias net-pf-10 ipv6 .Things are a bit better but not much. Any input would be great, BTW this is for a wireless connection.

[03:37] kent: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java [03:37] Its 9.04 [03:37] mount.cifs can do only plaintext password in a file, while samba has to rely on a smbpasswd created file, but can use encrypted passwords.... is this correct? Now, the smbpasswd user accounts ought to be users that actually exist on the local box in order for that smbpasswd to have actual write/read privilages? or does it matter ? It doesn't really matter does it because Samba creates somewhat fake ownership and permission on NT fi [03:38] says no wireless extensions, yet it was working fine one hour ago [03:38] how can I rebroadcast my wifi signal [03:38] blackberry77: no Java runtime is in add/remove programs only some office thing hold on [03:39] marko_: this channel is archived in http://irclogs.ubuntu.com as #ubuntu.txt [03:39] Wired7: Did you do anythign in that hour that might have disabled it?

So yea [03:47] eddiegentry: I have a hyperthreading P4 - where are seeing processors - what app/screen [03:47] How can I tell which drive is my root? Is it sda1 or sda5? [03:48] AvonGenesis: run sudo df -l Hopefully it will be obvious which is root... [03:48] if I backup, can I save to my partition? Is that possible? Because I might have to reinstall [03:48] AvonGenesis: oops, make that sudo df -h. The first line will show the root filesystem [03:49] Wired7: you should be able to backup your /home partition - but I'm not sure how...

I tryed install the MySQLdb but I receive an error when I try to import the MySQLdb [03:51] Need a little assistance. I just installed LAMP on my laptop for local testing. I need to know how to define a folder in my home directory for Apache to reference. In other words, this is only being used for local testing. I would prefer to use a folder in my home directory instead of /var/www so I wont have to chown the /var/www folder everytime I make an edit. Any advice? [03:51] eddiegentry: so does mine [03:51] How do I mount a Windows Network Share? [03:51] i have two pentium pro chips [03:52] i even overclocked them to 233 [03:52] mdg its still goin lol last i checked it was like 52% [03:52] i want to get full speed out of it [03:52] eddiegentry: look at the out put from the command: dmesg | less [03:52] does anyone know if it is possible to use tail with dmesg. [03:52] eddiegentry: you can view it by page up/down [03:52] mdg is says (END) [03:52] yeah nothing is there [03:52] eddiegentry: yes, use the page up to scroll up [03:52] just that (END) at the end [03:52] Gumby: yes dmesg | tail [03:52] i just did [03:53] nothing [03:53] mdg the comp keeps going to sleep tho i think i need to adjust the settings real quick of the live cd install [03:53] dmesg | less - in a terminal/console [03:53] oh wait--when i leave it says [03:53] Unable to obtain kernel buffer: Operation not permitted [03:53] usage: sudo dmesg [03:53] styol: mine went to sleep during installs - its the screensaver for me [03:53] How do you unmount from a drive once you have mounted to it in terminal?

(I hope tail -f works here too) [03:53] AvonGenesis: umount [03:54] Gumby: Thanks, I misread that :P [03:54] eddiegentry: it wants you to use root privileges [03:54] is that a virus? [03:54] eddiegentry: try: sudo dmesg | less [03:54] it says [03:54] WARNING: terminal is not fully functional [03:54] - (press RETURN) [03:54] (END) [03:55] eddiegentry: wow [03:55] eddiegentry: appears you are running as root - not a good idea [03:55] whats the equivilant of device manager for ubuntu? [03:56] well i had to use sudo first [03:56] this doesnt make any sense [03:56] mdg: ok [03:56] does ubuntu support dual overclocked pentium pro with 1 megabyte of L2 cache [03:56] deexannihilate: all ready? [03:56] mdg: it will not pick up the signal [03:56] deexannihilate: I found a couple things to add to a blacklist before we try wifi [03:56] mdg should i just leave it or is it possibly effecting the install? [03:57] styol: I would leave it go - if its 52% it will get there [03:57] styol: I think its just the screensaver kicking in [03:57] deexannihilate: we will use the command line to start an editor as we need root privileges to edit the blacklist file [03:58] deexannihilate: let mw know when you are ready ... [03:58] mdg ah alrightie... thanks bro [03:58] mdg: it actually connected! [03:58] deexannihilate1: hurray! [03:58] mdg: :) [03:58] deexannihilate1: just to check out signal strength open, in a console type : sudo iwlist scan - [03:58] Is there any reason why reiser is running half as fast as ext4? it's on AHCI if that's at all relevant [03:58] anyone know of a way to forward sound through SSH with esound or alsa [03:59] deexannihilate1: you will see the connection and you can see the db strength as a number rating xx/100 [03:59] mdg: 21/100 [03:59] deexannihilate1: that's pretty low [04:00] D3RGPS31: I don't think it can be done.... [04:00] mdg: it is the best i can do! [04:00] mdg: it just got hirer for a second [04:00] i think i need assistance with Apache/virtual hosts. I want to set up a folder in my home folder for local testing of websites I am working on. [04:00] deexannihilate1: if you can try moving to somewhere else in the room and then type: sudo iwlist scan - you might find a little stronger signal [04:00] How do I stop firefox from saving my tabs on exit failure? [04:01] mdg: 10/00 lol [04:01] deexannihilate1: oh that's not better [04:01] is there a karmic testing channel, list isn't working [04:01] mdg: i know [04:02] deexannihilate1: we can try blacklist a couple things and see if that makes the signal any better [04:02] is there a reason why when I put conky into startup applications it doesn't start? [04:02] deexannihilate1: they might be competing and causing your wifi dropout [04:03] msg: ok [04:03] mdg: i'm at 28 which is the highest i seem to be able to get [04:03] deexannihilate1: at a terminal type: sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf and it will open a file for us [04:04] deexannihilate1: okay, remember where you were at when you got 28 [04:04] mdg: i'm here [04:04] deexannihilate1: we have to add three lines to this file - at the bottom [04:04] omg did anyone read this [04:04] mdg: ok [04:04] deexannihilate1: first line to add: blacklist ath5k_pci [04:04] anyway to edit rightclick destop menu in gnome? [04:05] If I delete a kernel, is there a way I can reinstall it? [04:05] under blacklistamd76x? [04:05] oh well apparently xchat automatically directed me ehre [04:05] *here [04:05] how nice of it [04:05] deexannihilate1: yes - whatever is at the bottom of the list [04:05] msg: space vital? [04:05] well since I'm here, anybody know why Youtube videos refuse to play sound? [04:06] deexannihilate1: ??? [04:06] AvonGenesis: generally, yes. If you downloaded it, the deb file will be cached in /var/cache/apt/archive. You can reinstall from that. Or reinstall it via synaptic... [04:06] curt: Try logging out and back in, does that fix it? [04:06] mdg: i remember in nano it was vital to put a space between. wondering if it is the same thing here [04:06] deexannihilate1: you mean between blacklist and ath5k_pci - yes [04:06] deexannihilate1: if you mean a blank line - no [04:07] mdg: no between the last line and the one i type [04:07] deexannihilate1: two more entries to go [04:07] mdg: ok [04:07] mdg: it is asking for updates. proceed or finish adding first> [04:07] deexannihilate1: next one - on the line below the previous one - no blank line in between: blacklist ATL1E [04:07] losher: Well, the thing is that the kernel was preinstalled and after I did an update, it no longer worked so wouldn't the deb file thats cached be the updated one? Basically I want it to roll back but I have no access to it. [04:08] mdg: ok [04:08] deexannihilate1: last one: blacklist ath5k [04:08] mdg: ok. entered [04:08] deexannihilate1: okay, now save the file and you will need to shut down and then reboot [04:09] Mefached: No, this has been an ongoing problem, I do have Adobe Flash installed, which is why it's so confusing, especially since sound works everywhere else [04:09] AvonGenesis: press esc at boot and slect the old kernel [04:09] mdg: just close the terminal? [04:09] AvonGenesis: ubuntu does not uninstall them [04:09] mdg: and should i install the updates first? [04:09] deexannihilate1: yes close terminal and then shut down the computer and reboot [04:09] AvonGenesis: just in case you have issues [04:09] curt, that's quite odd. [04:10] deexannihilate1: no updates yet [04:10] mdg: ok brb [04:10] deexannihilate1: okay [04:10] hey guys i got my fresh install of ubuntu and it's working like a charm :) [04:10] gogeta: Well, there is no old kernel on that list, there are two kernels named differently though, one that is meant for netbook and one that says generic. [04:10] integration_: congratulations! [04:10] thanks [04:10] AvonGenesis: so what the issue [04:10] yes Mefached that was my opinion as wel [04:10] *well [04:11] gogeta: I want to be able to boot into the netbook kernel but it won't let me so I have to boot into generic. [04:11] AvonGenesis: did it brake [04:11] gogeta: well, I think it did, it stopped letting me boot into it after i restarted for an update. [04:12] I'm back :) does anyone know why when I have two displays and I try to go into fullscreen it goes fullscreen on the primary display instead of the secondary screen? [04:12] AvonGenesis: slect the netbook kernel in synaptic and slect reinstall [04:12] AvonGenesis: if "preinstalled" means it came off the install CD, you should be able to reinstall the old kernel from there. But gogeta is right. Usually when you upgrade a kernel, the old version is left on disk in case you need to roll it back... [04:12] AvonGenesis: maybe the upgrade whent badly [04:13] mdg: restarted [04:13] gogeta: Yea, thats what I'm thinking went wrong. So I've been looking for an answer to either fix it or reinstall it. [04:13] mdg: no wireless available [04:13] I am in need of an MPEG-4 AAC Decoder for Media Player. Anyone know where I can get one? [04:13] AvonGenesis: just mark for reinstall in synaptic [04:13] deexannihilate: what [04:13] deexannihilate: what does your networking icon show? [04:14] media player? [04:14] mdg: nothing [04:14] deexannihilate: two computers or stairsteps [04:14] AvonGenesis: use quick search and type netbook you should find it [04:14] mdg: steps with x [04:14] Sorry, old Windows convert.... [04:14] mdg: no wireless option [04:14] I need an MPEG-4 AAC decoder for MUSIC play [04:14] Player* [04:14] mdg: sudo iwlist scan shows nothing [04:14] hi, i'm currently following these instructions to get my nvidia graphics driver to work under ubuntu 9.04: http://blog.freshnewpage.com/2008/04/26/nvidia-geforce4-420-go-on-ubuntu-804-hardy-heron/ I have just got to the very end of the instructions, where I'm editing the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file using nano inside a terminal. I've added the "Option "CustomEDID" "DFP-0:/etc/X11/edid.bin"" in the right place and have gone to save the file, and it's tellin [04:14] g me Permission is denied. Any ideas?? [04:14] mdg: question [04:15] deexannihilate: okay, sorry - we need to undo the blacklisting [04:15] deexannihilate: sure [04:15] gogeta: Yup, thanks, this is the answer that I have been looking for, hopefully this will fix my problem. I'll try it out and hope it works. [04:15] anyways to get faster Ubuntu? [04:15] mdg: under drivers, i've noticed it has madwifi disabled. or i noticed before. should this be enabled/ [04:15] it got slower in the last week... [04:15] deexannihilate: oh. Where are you seeing that listed? [04:16] AvonGenesis: the one with the green heck mark is the installed one [04:16] check [04:16] mdg: it is specifically under hardware drivers.. i haven't opened it since reinstall, but it has shown the same each time [04:16] by slower i mean from 6M/s copy file... to 450k/s copy... [04:16] gogeta: Yup, I got it, restarting now to see if it works. [04:16] deexannihilate: first lets undo what we added to blacklist and see what we get before we go to hardware drivers [04:16] AvonGenesis: did you apply it lol [04:17] mdg: ok [04:17] gogeta: Yup, it reinstalled and asked for a restart :D [04:17] deexannihilate: at the command line again: sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf [04:17] metropolis, you need to run the vim command with sudo [04:17] mdg: ok [04:17] gogeta: Woot! It works, thanks a lot! +1 free internet for you! [04:17] If there'd be any potential security issues with 9.04, will there be manual updates available despite having no LTS? [04:18] AvonGenesis: lol [04:18] deexannihilate: now delete the last three lines we typed: blacklist ath5k_pci blacklist ATL1E blacklist ath5k [04:18] deexannihilate: let me know when you have deleted them [04:19] mdg: ok [04:19] deexannihilate: now close the terminal and you need to completely shut down and reboot again - sorry [04:20] blognewb: there will be updates & fixes, especially for security issues, until it reaches end of life. Not sure what you mean by 'manual' updates [04:20] mdg: wifi is unstable in the defult ubuntu kernel [04:20] mdg: no apologies needed! save i assume [04:20] bastidrazor: thanks! completely overlooked that!! now restarting - fingers crossed i have a graphical login at the right resolution! [04:20] losher: oh i really didn't know what LTS implied sorry [04:20] deexannihilate: yes save please [04:20] mdg: the 29 serise fixes wifi [04:20] metropolis, good luck [04:20] so "end of life" != LTS i guess? [04:21] gogeta: we are finding that out - deexannihilate is using UNR 9.04 on an acer aspir one D250 [04:21] when I have two displays enabled and try to go fullscreen on the secondary display, the video goes fullscreen on the primary display instead; is there any way to fix this? [04:21] 29 series? [04:21] blognewb: LTS just means it will be supported for longer so you don't have to upgrade it as often, that's all. LTS = long term support. [04:22] mdg: yea the arrray org netbook kernel 2.6.29 the defult geenrc .28 serise has wifi issues [04:22] damnit, it didn't work [04:23] mdg: ok it is trying to connect to wireless [04:23] deexannihilate: excellent [04:23] mdg: established [04:23] mdg: mine would randomly disconnect untill i upgraded [04:23] deexannihilate: are you postioned where you got a 28? [04:23] Anyone know where I can get a good MPEG-4 AAC decoder for Music Player? [04:24] gogeta: that's the problem deexannihilate is having [04:24] i uninstalled firefox now flashplugin nonfree gives me an error "update-alternatives: error: no alternatives for iceape-flashplugin" but no package exists of that specific name and ive completely uninstalled iceape [04:24] gogeta: you mean in 9.04? [04:24] mdg: yes [04:24] when i try to remove it [04:25] gogeta: deexannihilate just reinstalled and we are trying to get the updates so we can fix ethernet, eventually [04:25] mdg: yes and it is at 37 now [04:25] deexannihilate1: well that's slightly better [04:25] mdg: huge improvement from 9! [04:26] deexannihilate1: do you have a little icon that looks like a padlock by your network icon? [04:26] mdg: no [04:26] mdg: just battery and sound [04:26] i uninstalled firefox now flashplugin nonfree gives me an error "update-alternatives: error: no alternatives for iceape-flashplugin" but no package exists of that specific name and ive completely uninstalled iceape when i try to remove flashplugin-nonfree [04:26] mdg: eeebuntu has the newer kernel by defult and they support most netbooks just just eee [04:26] sorry.. thats flashplugin-installer === kaie is now known as Guest75955 [04:27] deexannihilate1: I run an offshoot of regular ubuntu - trying to think what the update icon looks like....

[04:28] deexannihilate1: this is a slow process - you can try and let it update - it will be 200+ updates - take an hour or more or you can wait until at starbucks, if you are there for an hour or more === monika is now known as Guest89503 === Guest89503 is now known as Heidi-Klumpen [04:28] mdg: i'll do it now bc the signal is too unstable at starbucks [04:29] mdg: he needs a newer kernel to fix wifi [04:29] deexannihilate1: go ahead and let the updates run, but don't trying plugging in ethernet [04:29] Hi [04:29] mdg: i think i'll stay far away from ethernet lol [04:29] mdg: it effects most cards [04:29] deexannihilate1: LOL thats understandable [04:30] deexannihilate1: now you know how to check signal strength at starbucks too: sudo iwlist scan [04:30] mdg: the ubuntu devs seem to have a problem with relsing with majer bugs anymore [04:30] gogeta: you had ethernet problem too? [04:30] mdg: thanks! [04:30] mdg: wifi random disconnect [04:30] deexannihilate1: you're welcome [04:31] i want to make a seperate partition for swap space. how big should it be? [04:31] mdg: i'm off to bed. we'll resume if you are available tomorrow evening. thanks again for your help and have a great evening! [04:31] gogeta: plus so many different wifi cards - its mid boggling [04:31] deexannihilate1: your welcome!! I will be here tomorrow night. Have a great evening too :) [04:32] xim_, how much RAM do you have?

[05:03] mattwj20021: Try disabling in the Network Connections from System->Preferences->network connections. [05:03] does it just restart the wireless nic by default [05:03] without restart?

[05:04] Mikess: partially, why ? [05:04] okay [05:04] good idea :) [05:04] :)/quit [05:05] ryjame would editing the interfaces file be an alternative to that?

[05:05] DasEi, i am a debian user ,,kde 4,,,, but it is bloated and getting slower [05:05] true true.

Any ideas? [05:11] I mean for c++; for example, Dev Cpp [05:11] charlie_1: you can always use the automake command [05:11] bloodshed dev-Cpp [05:11] automake? [05:11] charlie_1, Eclipse has the ability to install modules ofr almost any langauge [05:11] charlie_1, have you tried it? or do you want a different one? [05:11] no i have not [05:11] I will look into it thanks [05:11] charlie_1: yea as long as you dont need any extra configure commands you just type automake does it all [05:12] like automake myfile.c [05:12] ? [05:12] just automakke [05:12] charlie_1 : Check out http://eclipse.org [05:12] umask is used when creating new files or directories. is there smoething used for creating the ownership aspects of a file or directory? [05:12] is there anyone whos ever trudged through the muck with the ipod audiobook m4b format? [05:13] What's an ipod? *cough* [05:13] ehm [05:13] lol [05:13] a new format ? [05:13] sp0 : are you asking about ACL's? ACL can force ownership as well as permissions. === nabeel is now known as Guest99426 [05:14] ryjame, how? [05:14] what do you mean ACL? [05:14] eep === CoffeeMonster is now known as coldReactive_ [05:14] how do you change the ownership defaults? [05:14] stupid ipods wont sort files into the audiobook menu if they are mp3s only audible .aa files and ipod .m4b files, so unless i want to litter my audiobooks all over my music, i have to convert ALL these mp3s into .m4bs which are actually like twice as big...wtf [05:15] hi ,anybody knows how to configure ubuntu as a layer 2 switch? [05:15] sp0 : ACL - Access Control Lists. There are commands that allow you to set directory level defaults so when a file is created within the directory, you can set ownership as well as permissions. [05:15] don't use an ipod then. === mattwj20021 is now known as mattwj2002 [05:15] I have a Compiz-related question. On the Enhanced zoom plugin, can I make it not anti-alias? [05:15] xim_, *hurts* [05:15] ryjame, umask is used for permissions , but what can cahnge the ownership defaults? [05:15] xim_: use an ipod management tool... apt-cache search ipod [05:15] sp0 : Hate to say this, but a good start is "man acl". This gives a good reference on what I believe you are asking [05:16] eboyjr: /join #compiz [05:16] Hi i need to download some pictures from my camera to my pc but ubuntu isnt getting the cam ? [05:17] bucky: how i have gtkpod, but i cant figure exactly how that helps [05:17] my ipod blew up and i donated my organs to steve jobs [05:17] anybody knows how to configure ubuntu as a layer 2 switch? [05:17] waddap homies [05:17] lol @ bucky [05:17] sp0 : BTW umask is overridden when ACL's are in effect on the specified directory. === Wolvez is now known as Lupo === Lupo is now known as Cadu [05:18] which of these NES emulators in synaptic is any good? [05:18] * coldReactive_ wonders the legality of that question === Cadu is now known as Wolvez [05:19] * HighLordObsi slaps his pc with a rotting herring === silver is now known as Guest84927 [05:19] Abandonware is not illegal. === Guest84927 is now known as Silver_Swords [05:20] thank you beau [05:20] lol [05:20] abandonware is wunnerful [05:20] hence the free availability of emulators :) [05:20] abandonware is fore space quest [05:20] I meant the ROMs/Games you play on them [05:21] maybe I develop [05:21] NeoGeo ftw [05:21] A lot of the old NES games were abandoned. [05:21] To answer the question, I've only used FCE on ubuntu, but it worked well with my controller. [05:21] even so...the question was about the emulators...which are free game :D [05:21] "maybe I develop" --I'll drink to that! [05:22] cheers [05:22] So in my eyes it was good [05:22] I'll have to try it [05:22] * coldReactive_ is amazed at how I was able to dump my PS2 BIOS without modding it [05:23] coldreactive: why would you dump the bios on your PS2? [05:23] there are LOTS of reasons to do that. [05:23] well...I don't know any, so I thought I'd ask [05:23] :) [05:23] PCSX2 [05:23] A PS2 emu [05:24] head and tail get me lines of a multiline file. how can i get characters of a multcharacter string? [05:24] mmm...captain morgan and sprite....tastes like creme soda :D [05:24] so...you wiped the bios off a functional PS2 to load it with a PS2 Emulator? [05:24] mechtech: no pcsx2 doesn't ship with a bios [05:24] No he dumped the bios leaving it on the ps2 [05:25] it's a complete emulator but the bios is copyright. [05:25] to all, a week ago i complained about ubuntu being slower than sabayon. and decided to switch to sabayon, WHAT A MISTAKE! the little extra speed comes at a huge cost, your piece of mind! they got problems, one too many, none stop. im back with ubuntu, slower, but so much stabler. =) [05:25] You can dump the BIOS of a fat PS2 (which I have) without modding its hardware). All you need is a codebreaker disk, a FAT USB Drive, and a PSOne disc you don't use, as well as a save editor and the save exploit [05:25] silver_swords, good news :-) [05:25] You also need a more recent version of uLaunchElf (4+) [05:25] and you wonder at the legality of one little NES emu? [05:25] LOL [05:26] ^ [05:26] lol [05:26] dumping a PS2 BIOS is perfectly legal -_- [05:26] as long as you own the PS2 [05:26] if u own it yup [05:26] wait for it....... [05:26] for what? [05:26] w8ing [05:26] waiting for the ubuntu login screen ping [05:26] lol [05:26] As long as you own the original NES game, it's 100% legal to have a backup copy... even as a ROM. [05:27] Silver_Swords: slower doing what, exactly? [05:27] So, tomato tomato. [05:27] and there it goes [05:27] bleh [05:28] here's what nin10doh says [05:28] ooh...my login screen is all crumpled up at the top of the screen [05:28] hi, anybody has experience to config ubuntu as a switch here? [05:28] http://www.nintendo.com/corp/legal.jsp#download_rom [05:28] losher: running programs. [05:28] hm, i wonder whether it would be illegal to buy a tomato from a store, clone it.. then sell it? [05:29] you can clone it [05:29] you cant sell it [05:29] "Therefore, whether you have an authentic game or not, or whether you have possession of a Nintendo ROM for a limited amount of time, i.e. 24 hours, it is illegal to download and play a Nintendo ROM from the Internet. " [05:29] LOL [05:29] what utility will extract chars from a string (like head or tail, but from a single line) [05:29] as the TRMA [05:29] anyone here have an alpha server? [05:29] hah [05:29] losher: but really i prefer the stability than non-stop problems. [05:29] Tomato rights management asso [05:29] lol [05:29] isn't there a general ubuntu chat? what's that room name? [05:30] grep [05:30] StrangeCharm grep would do that [05:30] some tomatoes have DRM to stop you planting them [05:30] freen: #ubuntu-offtopic [05:30] Silver_Swords: the binary execution speed differs significantly. I'm surprised? I agree with you about stability over speed though... [05:30] charlie_1, i'll take a look [05:30] like charlie@charlie-desktop:~$ ps -A | grep xcha [05:30] 9829 ? 00:01:13 xchat [05:31] lord, now i'm stuck on the login screen [05:31] which i can't see [05:31] losher: not significantly, but a tad faster. [05:32] charlie_1, doesn't look like grep would work. i want to extract a number that i don't know from a line of text. i know where it is, just not how long it is [05:33] from a command right? [05:33] Silver_Swords: do you know how come it's faster? Its a gentoo derivative right? [05:33] StrangeCharm: what's the line of text? [05:34] yeah [05:34] whats the line of text [05:34] lol [05:34] i'm thinking of a number between 1 and 10 [05:34] losher: no i dont. yes it is gentoo. [05:34] well...based on what I just read, I can only assume that nintendo has no clue that linux distros have NES emulation software almost built right into them...LOL [05:34] Is there a way to have the CD/DVD Creator open empty when I double-click on a blank CD icon on the desktop? It seems to remember the files I burnt last, so I have to select and delete them every time I create a new CD/DVD. [05:35] 5 [05:35] 7 [05:35] Bull shit [05:35] * coldReactive_ wonders if Flash4Lin will ever be completed [05:35] bucky, charlie_1: 'i would like to eat 23 muffins' i want to print '23' to stdout [05:36] i have installed the vlc documentation via the package videolan-doc which in turn installed many files in /usr/share/doc but I'm unable to understand how to view them? [05:36] i am using ubuntu on my htpc and hdtv, the screen size of the desktop has a boarder around the desktop image area.... is there a way to scale or make it so there is no black boarder around my desktop? [05:36] ok there we go... [05:36] Silver_Swords: I'm surprised nevertheless. I don't think I've heard any of the distros having a significant speed advantage over any other... [05:37] bucky, charlie_1: but i might only want 3 muffins, or 432, but it'll always be preceeded by 'i would like to eat ' and followed by ' muffins' [05:37] anybody know why my login screen is all crumpled up in the top of the screen [05:37] so you input a value and you want that value to be spit back out [05:37] Shaan7: cd there and call the in gedit [05:37] losher: another thing.. they got a horribly miserable package manager. very messy!

[05:40] losher: and when you ask for help on their irc, you'll be told to "google it".

All i see now in installation are these: 1. install them side by side, choosing between them each startup, 2. use the entire disk, 3.use the largest continuous free space, 4. specify partitions manually(advance). i tried num 4 but i dont understa [05:50] n2diy, you need to log into your router page and see from there.

I have to sudo mount -a to make it boot [05:51] er [05:52] proftpd - Versatile, virtual-hosting FTP daemon does anyone recmed it ?

[05:59] how can i append to a file without prepending a newline? [05:59] and mplayer reproduces them VERY slowly.. [05:59] CaptainCrook: so the CPU might be going a full speed.

[06:01] mechtech: http://letmegooglethatforyou.com/search?q=linux+mount+iso [06:01] fiber, I don't know anything about that, but if you want to reset your CMOS, remove it's battery. [06:02] n2diy: errr, yes... very true... you are either a robot utterly failing the turing test or sorely confused [06:02] Losher: that's not ringing a bell [06:02] mechtech: try it anyway... [06:02] fiber: not sure I like your tone! [06:02] mechtech: :) [06:03] I have just install the ubuntu 9.04 server edition on a computer.. I selected "virtual hosting" option.. what does this do? is the kernel LVM installed? [06:03] Losher: so...Gmount-filename.iso?

[06:06] I have a "AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4400+" but /proc/cpuinfo says the cpu MHz is 1000.000 ... is the cpu running at full speed? Could the kernel be slowing clock speed to save power? [06:06] mechtech: nah, but i use it a lot around these parts... you'd be surprised how little the good old proverb RTFM has made an impact [06:06] mechtech: just remember, doctor google knows all [06:06] zroysch: you want it to boot or mount?

Or try googling of course... [06:10] Flannel: Yes sir Flannel sir! [06:10] i used to plan my whole day around fiber [06:10] god doesn't exist [06:10] fiber: If you don't want to follow the channel guidelines and be helpful, why are you here? [06:10] is it possible to append from stdin to a file without a trailing newline?

[06:12] StrangeCharm: echo -n 'string' >> filename should do it [06:12] Flannel: Don't worry about it... I won't use acronyms... it seems the guidelines have changed since the last update of the wiki [06:13] when using ubunut on my hdtv, There is a black border surrounding the desktop , do any of you have this problem,? I should be able to resize my screen or something [06:13] StrangeCharm: cat should do it too... [06:13] losher, but what if the thing i want to echo is stdout: the piped result of another program? [06:13] hdtv? [06:13] StrangeCharm: What are you trying to ultimately accomplish? [06:14] StrangeCharm: use sed to cut out any trailing new lines [06:14] watch ubuntu on a hdtv?

Otherwise I can't see why it would fail then but not later./// [06:20] StrangeCharm: how are you currently parsing the input to get it in the <> form? [06:20] StrangeCharm: homework assignment?

[06:27] fiber: i think ipv6 has a problem.. maybe how any network enabled app.. it checks to see if ipv6 is valid and it can take a agonizingly long time on some systems [06:27] StrangeCharm: okay, you can use either "tr -d '\n'" to get rid of all newlines or sed with a regex ("s/\n$//g" should work)... pipe whatever you need to that then >> it to the file you need [06:27] StrangeCharm: seems to.

Because my ds insists that it's corrupted. [06:29] zroysch: you could try reissuing the mount command from /etc/rc.local I suppose. If that doesn't work, you could try launching a script from /etc/rc.local that runs in the background and retries the mount after sleeping for a bit. That's assuming that I'm right about the delay being the cause of the failure in the first place...

[07:00] ryan__: need help using pastebin? [07:00] ^^kickAss: yep, apt-get will think they were downloaded off the net in a previous run, & use them for installing. Of course, you have to be running the same OS version on both machines. You can also generate a list of installed packages on the office machine & use that list to install the same set of packages on the home machine, so they look the same... [07:00] What do I do? [07:00] dragon: thanks [07:00] It says Ubuntu Pastebin.

Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot [07:03] This Url? [07:03] ryan__: [08:57:54] ryan__ : pastebinit /var/log/syslog [07:03] but i dont know the block number [07:03] yeah [07:03] delopart: you can't use fsck for a folder [07:03] it exists [07:03] ryan__: run that command :) [07:03] Okay Thanks.

[07:05] :D [07:05] ryan__: heh [07:05] i use fsck -y -f -c /devsda2 [07:05] sometimes [07:05] http://pastebin.com/f6d5044c4 [07:05] * jussi01 hands back to DasEi [07:05] but i have some files [07:05] What's that? [07:05] he's got a big syslog [07:05] ryan__: click on it ;) [07:05] and this files force the system, system is locking for sometime [07:05] and fsck doesnt find the mistake for sometime [07:06] delopart: you can only fsck entire filesystems, and you can't do it while they're mounted. The easiest way to check everything is to do sudo touch /forcefsck and reboot. All filesystems will be checked when the system comes back up... [07:06] Uhh...What is this? [07:07] what is this syslog entry? [07:07] ubuntu kernel: [ 27.685703] sd 0:0:1:0: [sda] Write cache: enabled, read cache: enabled, doesn't support DPO or FUA [07:07] ryan__: your syslog [07:07] What do I do with it?

[07:07] ryan__: wait for others to go through it [07:07] no [07:07] hardware issue [07:07] I just type my name and wait? [07:08] because i have some other file [07:08] that hangs the system [07:08] i do fsck 10 times [07:08] and it is clear now [07:08] surf}^: that looks like something about hard disk #1.. [07:08] ryan__: have a look at yourself, this a logfile of your system startup, where errors can be found [07:08] I can't do this, I'm totally new to all this. [07:08] dragon did someone hack in? [07:08] no command for checking spesific place [07:09] spesific blokcks [07:09] or path [07:09] ? [07:09] dragon did someone hack in? IDS?

[07:11] the iptable or w/e [07:11] yes please [07:11] i mean i have pidgin for example [07:11] ubuntu use 2.5 debian use 2.2 in the same time [07:11] dragon what exactly does that mean? which app generated that ? [07:11] what S.M.A.R.T data [07:11] surf}^: it's the kernel ;) [07:12] iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT [07:12] ryan__: what os version? and what kind of PC? [07:12] is that right ? [07:12] ryan__: sudo apt-get install hwinfo [07:12] dragon I know its the kernel but what does it mean? [07:12] I'm using an HP and the OS is 9.04 [07:12] dragon I know its the kernel but what does it mean? Kernel is a black box [07:12] surf}^: nothing to worry about, as far as i understand. you might want to google it.

[08:56] hrm [08:56] OramahMaalhur: somewhere along the way, you missed a step or more. the system is now not operating correctly. [08:56] i never do reinstall [08:56] when running 'free -m' is the second line the more correct one?

[08:57] Gnea, I've upgraded the system using the original software from ubuntu - just updated the kernel [08:57] waieez: linux doesn't use drive letter, you have to mount it [08:57] Gnea, I know what I'm doing ;) [08:57] jacquesdupontd: do you have any constructive criticism to add?

[08:59] ikonia: well. where do i look? [08:59] Gnea, you're right [08:59] My system is "ubuntu text system",it hasn't voice,why? [08:59] waieez: you have to mount it [09:00] ikonia: damn, im almost maxing out memory, with just ftpd/httpd/mysqld [09:00] ikonia: i cant select it to mount it, which is my problem. I cant even see it/dont know where it is [09:00] clane: you only have 256 meg of ram [09:00] Hi, When I start OpenOffice, Ubuntu crashes... Sometimes it starts when I remove ~/.openoffice But when I start it again Ubuntu crashes again... Any ideas where to look?

It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info [09:01] ikonia: any idea to reduce that usage even more ? [09:01] help me! My system is "ubuntu text system",it hasn't voice,why? [09:01] tfitw: because sound is part of the destop sstem [09:01] system [09:01] tfitw, i don't understand you're blind , [09:02] clane: look at what's running and cut down anything you don't need [09:02] ikonia, No.It included in linux core! [09:02] So did anyone else can suggest anything to make X server working after upgrade to 2.6.28.15 kernel with Ati video card? [09:02] tfitw, i didn't even knew there was a ubuntu text system [09:02] clane: keep in mind that mysql will use ram even if it's not needed, and you have 139mb acting as "cache" so that's not really in use [09:02] tfitw, don't you talk about ubuntu server ? [09:02] tfitw: what's in "linux core" and what is "linux core" [09:03] jacquesdupontd, yes [09:03] kernel [09:03] ikonia, kernel [09:04] tfitw: what about it ? [09:04] tfitw, i don't know at all if you could had a package with the voices [09:04] ikonia: I've already partitioned it, Before it was not formatted (i could see it under computer but could not mount it) i figured i would have to format it first. After i "set it up" as a Primary Partition, with ext3 filesystem. it completely disappeared from "computer" [09:04] tfitw, i never tested "ubuntu server" and the thing is i don't know if there's a sound server [09:05] jacquesdupontd, it has been included in linux kernel [09:05] \ [09:05] q/ [09:05] oeau/l[[Beuasnth [09:05] tfitw, running alsa ? [09:05] ikonia: i can still see it. its there when i use gparted. but i cant locate it with the filebrowser [09:05] ikonia, linux kernel [09:05] waieez: because it's not mounted [09:05] ikonia: but i cant rightclick the thing to mount it. how do i mount it? [09:06] jacquesdupontd, I don't know [09:06] waieez: no - you can only mount something like that if it has a mount point pre-defined or a disk label [09:06] is it possible to roll back the effects of update manager ? last update has broken firefox so I cant do emails anymore and many buttons on web sites no longer appear Im using 9.04 and have the same effect on 3 different machines ? [09:06] jacquesdupontd, But there is a dirctort named alsa [09:06] ikonia: well, what should i do? reformat simply as an extended partition? [09:06] tfitw, do you hear any sound ? [09:06] waieez: the type of partition primary/extended makes no different [09:07] jacquesdupontd, no [09:07] tfitw, anyway "ubuntu server" is usually used to be touched from another computer that is connected to it and have no screen and no sound [09:07] waieez: want a workthrough to permantnently mount it ? [09:07] waieez: I'm just trying to sort out a tool for you, so you don't have to manually edit the text [09:07] dasei: yes [09:07] tfitw, why are you searching for the sound ? [09:08] Whats the command to unpack a .package file? [09:08] tfitw, you would like you're server to tell you information when it's running with voices system ? [09:08] jacquesdupontd, I have installed the fvwm [09:10] tfitw, and ? i don't really see the point of how you wanna use it and why in this case you didn't installed "ubuntu desktop" [09:10] waieez: open a terminal [09:10] dasei: keep going [09:10] waieez: sudo fdisk -l [09:10] waieez: get the identifier, like /dev/sdb1 [09:10] waieez: which is ? [09:10] espeak and festival doesn't play correctly on 9.04 .. same problem for anybody here? [09:10] dasei: i believe it is dev/sda [09:10] tfitw, are you using it as a server and then if it's the case do you have another computer to connect to it ? [09:10] Whats the command to unpack a .package file? [09:10] waieez: let me look; sudo apt-get install pastebinit [09:10] jacquesdupontd, i just have a computer [09:11] waieez: sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit << give url here === MadMax is now known as Guest6215 [09:11] jacquesdupontd, I installed the ubuntu server+fvwm [09:11] dasei: what do you mean give url [09:11] tfitw, then it's much better to reinstall it, the "desktop version" or "alternate if you're computer is old" and then install packages to make it a server [09:11] waieez: sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit [09:12] waieez: ^ returns a url in terminal, paste this in channel [09:12] dasei i dont have pastebin installed [09:12] waieez: sudo apt-get install pastebinit [09:12] tfitw, you can then install apache and all other things [09:12] dasei: >< pastebin isnt installed [09:12] jacquesdupontd, yes,My computer is old [09:12] /lastlog tfitw [09:13] Mine X server config looks like http://paste.ubuntu.com/246974/ - and XServer doesn't starts [09:13] tfitw: What are you trying to accomplish?

[09:15] waieez: fine, sda1 so [09:15] jacquesdupontd, I don't understand what you said.I am not good at English. [09:15] any idea ? on running XServer ? [09:15] tfitw, im french :) [09:15] waieez: gksudo gedit /etc/fstab [09:15] tfitw, tell me the conf of you're computer [09:15] tfitw: Which language are you comfortable in? [09:16] waieez: sadley I can't find any refernce to a "mount point manager tool" so it looks like you'll have to either put a disk label on it, in which case it will mount on /media/$label_name on reboot, or manually put it into /etc/fstab [09:16] dasei: okay? [09:16] why espeak doesn't work corectly [09:16] waieez: scroll to the end of it, add the line : [09:16] ikonia: thanks for your help :D. i think this is what dasei is trying to lead me through? the manual mount?

[10:20] !iptables [10:20] Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Uncomplicated_Firewall_ufw), or 'iptables' (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo). GUI applications such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist [10:20] Whole Grains: has some gtk glitch when i change themes === oliver_ is now known as Omeil [10:20] Whole Grains: also pkge manager stalls alsa, related? [10:21] gogeta, richardcavell - bonza! I'll take a look :) [10:21] thank you [10:21] apexhouse_: yeah, look up man iptables and google it. You just want to route all packets from one computer through the 'DHCP server' to the Net [10:21] Hi [10:21] I got a problem with my audio [10:21] #c++ [10:21] apexhouse_: with iptables you will be able to firewall a linux host/gateway. but you want the various clients that get IP adresses to not see each other, right? [10:22] it's hda intel IDT codec, high definition audio card on 9.04 [10:22] nibbler_ that's right, yes [10:22] And no audio at all. [10:22] #programing [10:22] fireball_: sorry i'm not sure about that [10:22] jacquesdupontd, amixer:command not found [10:22] bobo [10:22] ok [10:22] jacquesdupontd, alsactl:command not found [10:22] you dont' have any alsa server [10:22] what should i print in order to find out which distribution version im using? [10:23] the command for the console i mean [10:23] apexhouse_: i'm not sure how iptables could help you with this, unless you put all clients in different subnets... and route them via a linux box. [10:23] mizipzor: cat /etc/issue [10:23] Whole Grains: ok, but really need my menu bar/s! Any ideas? They exist for other users, just not mine [10:23] qob0127: thx [10:23] jacquesdupontd, /tmp/alsa-info.SFQloa5360/alsactl.tmp:No such file [10:23] i want programing c++ in ubuntu please help me [10:23] _nibbler hmm.

[10:25] targus: but 10 works the best === yofel_ is now known as yofel [10:25] no they dont every one i downloaded from adobe wouldnt work kept saying not the right archutexture [10:25] apexhouse_: because this sort of traffic controll is out of scope of the dhcp server, how could he enforce that? i mean if computers are on the same layer 2 network... even if you would trick something with the dhcp like putting everyone into seperate subnet, its a client config which can be changed client side [10:25] jacquesdupontd,? [10:25] targus: then you need flash 64bit [10:26] jacquesdupontd, I run the file alsa-info.sh [10:26] but im not running ubuntu on a 64 bit cpu [10:26] any ideas?

Where's my gtk/nautilus menu bar? http://files.getdropbox.com/u/1640537/Screenshot.png http://files.getdropbox.com/u/1640537/NoMenu.png [10:29] qob0127: and you can upgrade from 8.04 to 10.04, which doesn't exist yet [10:29] richardcavell: right [10:29] fireball_: did you check under the carpet? [10:29] targus: unfortanly flash ppc is a issue [10:30] Daz: lol. It's getting like that [10:30] richardcavell: i am still running 8.04, because i found it much more stable than 8.10 or 9.04. i try to use lts releases only. [10:30] jacquesdupontd, done! [10:30] Daz: It's gotta be simple, yet no-one seems to know! [10:30] i keep having problems where kcapi_notify starts taking over my cpu, whats the best way to reduce this? [10:30] gogeta: why whats wrong with it? all i want to do is put flash on it so my wife can play yahoo games on it [10:31] qob0127: when 10.04 comes out I might stick with that one [10:31] tfitw, now test sound [10:31] qob0127: I need 9.10 at the moment for its much improved Intel GMA 950 support. [10:31] hi [10:31] tfitw, i have 5 minutes [10:31] fireball_: in kde it is pretty simple [10:32] qob0127: I'm on a MacBook and 9.10 is far better for the MacBook than 9.04 [10:32] jacekowski, No sound [10:32] targus: they dont make ppc linux flash [10:32] hi. I just created an ext4 filesystem on a new harddrive and it's completely empty, but Nautilus shows me it has about 5GB already used, out of 97GB... why is that? [10:32] DaZ: I'll bite, something I can compare with GTK? [10:32] richardcavell: i also have a gma 950 and it runs well in 8.04. which particular support are you talking about? [10:32] tfitw, reboot before [10:32] DaZ: ie, how? [10:32] jacquesdupontd, What you mean "I have 5 m"? [10:32] qob0127: I can't play games under wine on 9.04.

Can anyone point me into the right direction? [10:56] targus: qemu will run windows it emulates another pc [10:56] ochosi: no, its just stored as a has as are all passwords... only option is to crack it if you need to get it back from teh hash.

Will really just see the differents in ram. I really do want to use all 4 gb not just what 32bit lets me [11:25] or should tell [11:25] i686 @jrib [11:25] quiznos: it only got 4 sockets for ram each holds 1 gig but only ddr ram [11:26] tarelerulz: sure but you need to reinstall [11:26] targus ok [11:26] hey [11:26] quiznos: so the ram is slow the cpu is kinda slow as its not a dual core or quad core [11:27] targus maybe the ram is not the correct kind? [11:27] or the ram hw is bad (not the ram itself) [11:27] or both [11:27] ulquiorra: easiest way is to just copy the libflashplayer.so file into your ~/.mozilla/plugins/ . And do the same for whatever directory opera uses in your ~ [11:27] targus boot memtest [11:27] quiznos: it uses ddr ram 3200 and all 4 check out as the bios reads them all [11:28] ok [11:28] okay, I'll try [11:28] quiznos: i dont have a mem test like vista does ill never go to vista to much of a resource hog [11:28] what is the best way to learn how to build an OS? [11:28] targus if bios has "optimsed' settings option for mem, try the available options and run memtest or other thing in each setting === zach is now known as Guest8356 [11:29] targus there is non-os dependent Memtest iso you can boot; some dists use it too on live-cd [11:30] quiznos: i wanted the 64 bit feature for gaming but most games dont support it i figured with running games in a 64 bit system they would run like on higher end machines [11:30] duno [11:30] i think not tho [11:30] targus: not really... [11:30] each app has to be writ and compiled for the host it runs on [11:30] is there any good guides to hardening ubuntu? [11:31] boonyo goog linux+hardening instead [11:31] quiznos: yea and most games are 32 bit cause 99% of windows users are using a 32 bit cpu [11:31] nods [11:31] Can you recommend a mp3 playing app/plugin for a specific visualisation? I want non-eyecandy but the frequency information. I'd love a combo of oscilloscope, and the frequency distribution with time at one axis and frequenzy on the other axis. [11:32] sol93 check freshmeat and sourceforge .net's [11:32] sol93: the default player, totem has something like this [11:33] targus gn [11:33] quiznos: gn [11:33] or should i say gm [11:33] get the spec info [11:33] anyone here recommend a nice gui iptables firewall creator? easy enough to do it in a console however but i wouldn't mind trying a gui [11:33] ok [11:33] gone [11:33] !firewall | boonyo [11:33] boonyo: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Uncomplicated_Firewall_ufw), or 'iptables' (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo). GUI applications such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist [11:34] i only found plugins in totem, that give half of what I would like to have, like libvisual analyzer plugin [11:34] but it's missing the time axis [11:34] bugger === Ubuntu is now known as X-Seti1 [11:34] i wish they made a linux version that was almost like windows where u dont need to use cmds to get to stuff [11:35] targus: called "ubuntu" [11:35] targus: i fear, they will make it so. i really fear. *shudders* [11:35] targus: what commands have you needed? [11:35] jrib:no its not u still need cmd lines to do stuff in unbuntu [11:35] targus: nope [11:36] targus: Some people need the command line in windows, too. [11:36] targus: when you are a child you use a computer by looking at the pictures. When you grow up, you learn to read and write. [11:36] jrib to access certain features u need to type in cmds in the termanil [11:36] targus: "certain features"? [11:37] jrib:yea like fbset and a lot of others [11:37] targus : I would think that if you like Windows then that is what you should use. Me personally I hope Linux stays Linux. [11:37] targus: i think you fighting a losing battle coming here and dissing the bash shell mate [11:37] targus: frame buffer settings? heh... [11:37] i need help :P [11:38] nobody?

I'd say that as long as nothing "breaks" you can easily use ubuntu without inputting a single command [11:39] and then it crashed [11:39] reves: xrandr [11:39] targus : as a newbie Windoze user. Did you know where to find everything right away? [11:39] targus: imo most of the commands one needs are simple enuff and anyone can google and cut and paste [11:39] BANG [11:39] paschu: same reason why windows crashes [11:39] paschu: 3rd party drivers [11:39] paschu: in 99% of cases [11:39] linny: you really cant c&p from one system to another [11:39] damn [11:39] jacekowski: ... please elaborate? i know xrandr is required... but my newly rotated X session wont show the bottom third of the portrait screen [11:39] i have problems with my wireless connection. I have to setup my wireless every time i boot up my linux. I use ndiswrapper drivers [11:40] targus: C&P in command line? [11:40] targus: Yes you can.

I would like to set a partition to mount on boot and can edit fstab... but am not sure how to use uuid like seems is the standard. Was hoping I might be able to find a program to help me edit fstab (which also would prevent me from messing it up). Anything out there? [11:43] paschu: im having the same problem with ubuntu 9.04 with playing online games on webpages [11:43] !uuid | gbear14275 [11:43] gbear14275: To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) [11:43] well I published my question at ubuntu forums, please help [11:43] targus: both text based interfaces and guis have their pros an cons but it annoys me that some ppl assciate text with increased difficulty i really dont think its any harder its just different [11:43] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1229800&highlight=opera+default+browser [11:44] I use opera on ubuntu 9.04 but i cant get it to work as default browser, it is setup on the "System-> Preferences-> Preferred Applications" menu, but everytime a click on a link Firefox opens... Please help!!! btw... I started to use Opera because I upgraded firefox to 3.5 and it crashes everytime after a few seconds... and its slow. Opera its working faster, but i cant get it to be as default browser. [11:44] the more you use a text interface the more you find yourself thinking "i wonder if there's a cli version of $app .." [11:44] jrib: thanks... will look at that. Am still curious about a "mount manager" or something. Seems like it would be a good tool to have within ubuntu. Editing fstab can be dangerous and so a tool which helps to make it less risky would be good. [11:44] gbear14275 : try xvmount [11:44] gbear14275: don't know of one [11:44] VSpike: so true it grows on you [11:45] AsgardBeast: I'll look at vxmount [11:45] linny: that is true but my wife is a newbie and hates to do that stuff. im from the old school my first program i learned was 10 ? "hello" 20 goto 10 [11:45] VSpike: I wonder if theer is an cli version of $app with vim bindings... [11:45] linny: I dunno about you but i'd rather spend 30 mins finding a quick way to do something on the command line than 10 minutes of repetetive gui clicking [11:46] gbear14275: for ntfs drives, ntfs-config does the trick [11:46] gbear14275 : another you might try is mountmanager [11:46] jrib: :) [11:47] hi [11:47] i get http://paste.ubuntu.com/247124/ [11:47] I am using debmirror [11:47] I am following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Debmirror [11:47] kaushal: what command did you run? [11:48] sol93: I actually have a ext3 storage partition... have to manually mount it everytime... annoying and if I start my torrent client before hand it freaks out and says I've lost all my torrents [11:48] gbear14275: so just put it your fstab one time [11:48] vspike: windows sucks cause there cmd promt cant even do a simple thing like 10 ? "hello" 20 goto 10 it keeps giving u syntax errors lol [11:48] jrib: i am running the script debmirror.sh [11:48] sorry mirrorbuild.sh [11:48] has anybody successfully rotated a screen 90 degrees with the resolution etc working nicely.. and the X session reaching all the way to the bottom of the now 'portrait' screen? if so please for the love of god... gimme a hand [11:49] gbear14275: putting a ext3 to fstab isnt that uber-geeky... find a tutorial and just do it... and have fun while doing so *g* [11:49] kaushal: you need the key for whatever repository it is [11:49] targus : yeah but don't you know that is what the powershell is for. Woo Hoo! [11:49] jrib: Was actually thinking about other users... :), am working on it now. On another topic anyone put out a ext to ext4 conversion tool? [11:49] jrib: is there a way to get it ?

The same data copied to the dir from that share, and TB works. Can't find out, why TB is so strange about the mounted dir, looks like some extra permission bit missing or something... any ideas? [11:51] targus : I still own 3 of them. They are in my basement. We used to network them over FM radio receivers with the RS232 port. [11:51] i have no sound at all [11:51] reves: well if you had asked a question instead of saying that I may have seen it and tried to help! [11:51] i think it's something with my laptop [11:51] jrib: .... i have asked. [11:51] twice.

To install 'ubuntu-restricted-extras' the conflicting software must be removed first. [11:52] Switch to the 'synaptic' package manager to resolve this conflict. [11:52] AsgardBeast: my quit working in the late 90's it was ok but to play a game u had to type in hundreds of lines of code [11:52] reves: comments like that don't help... they just make it harder to help people [11:52] reves: My card can't support the right frambuffer size in hardware, so it's a no-go [11:52] i have no errors for the sound [11:52] Does some one know how to calculate Peak Cells Rate? [11:52] i think that alsa can't find where my speakers are [11:52] one word answers dont help people either. one word. seriously.

[11:53] AsgardBeast: i had a book with a whole bunch of programs in it but u had to sit there for hours typing it in and hopeing u didnt make a mistake [11:53] VSpike: ... thank you. maybe its a hardware limitation. good idea. [11:53] reves: didn't say they did, maybe that's all he knew about it and was trying to point you in the right direction [11:54] I use ssh as a proxy with -D option. It works fine for some time, but then I start getting these errors: accept: Too many open files. While getting these errors, ssh is eating 100% CPU. How can prevent this from happening? [11:54] i would imagine it almost impossible to 'know' only a single word about an entire topic. [11:54] targus : Loved that cassette drive too. Only had to type the code in once then wait 15 minutes for it to save to cassette. [11:54] reves: it's not, "xrandr" is probably all I know about rotating a monitor too [11:54] AsgardBeast:then anthoer 20 to 30 minutes for it to load off of the audio cassette lol [11:55] its installing [11:55] targus : If only there were a Linux for the 8088.

[12:52] Hi everyone [12:53] Cyrus258011: how do you know it isn't? [12:53] blackbeard: sure.. why not. :) you may not get a lot of answers however... [12:53] !ask | blackbeard [12:53] blackbeard: 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. :-) [12:53] rojoloco47: good luck, i couldn't find anything apart from someone installing ubuntu on the same system with no problems :( [12:53] first tell me what is fluxbox @ blackbeard [12:53] :D [12:53] Gnea: i ran px -A and it isn't there [12:53] AsgardBeast: thats an old topic.. i know about that..

I know the laptop is linux compatible as I run Mint7 and Mandriva on it as well on a different hard drive. [12:54] rojoloco47: use a differnt IRC client then. :) (mirc is one of many IRC clients) [12:54] Cyrus258011: I wasn't aware that px was a command. Also, -A with ps is very limited. I suggest running it like this: ps -axf | grep thunderbird [12:54] I am using windows right now @ blackbeard [12:54] Cyrus258011: what might have happened, is that the lockfile remained [12:54] rojoloco47: i use xchat under windows and linux :) [12:55] Dr_Willis : xchat can connect to same channels as we can with mirc ? [12:55] i am on ubuntu. then i decided to try fluxbox. i installed it and logged it, edited the menus and keys etc it was all fun. but whenever i launch nautilus (dont have any other file manager ) i get the gnome menus in flux box and i have to hit the power button to alt and then power up again. any solutions on this? [12:56] rojoloco47: of course [12:56] rojoloco47: xchat is good [12:56] or irssi if you are geek [12:56] Cyrus258011: check your ~/.mozilla-thunderbird/whatever.default/ for a lockfile [12:56] rojoloco47: xchat is good if you need a gui [12:56] iceroot: i did that it says that no process was killed [12:56] blackbeard: you mean the gnome panel starts up or what? [12:56] Cyrus258011: ok then it is the lockfile [12:57] Anybody knows about the pump command [12:57] i hae Downloaded backtrack 47% [12:57] ? [12:57] no.i mean the fluxbox menu doesnt come up only gnome menu comes up... which spoils the whole purpose. i cant run apps or log out [12:57] diddy: the manpage [12:57] i will install both after it will complete [12:57] rojoloco47: this is irssi: http://cdn.solidfiles.net/i/bIi3.png [12:57] diddy: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line) [12:57] Cyrus258011: the lockfile can be removed easily: rm lockfile it should run then [12:58] I do not have a man page for the pump command. Question: What is the pump command about? [12:58] checking @ Kottizen [12:58] rojoloco47: but try xchat, that's really good [12:58] blackbeard: nautilus is a gnome application, it's meant to integrate with gnome [12:58] diddy: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/jaunty/en/man8/pump.8.html [12:59] first time xchat user here - i like it :) [12:59] diddy: pump - BOOTP and DHCP client for automatic IP configuration [12:59] I have to :D @ Kottizen [12:59] rojoloco47: :d [12:59] blackbeard: try thunar [12:59] rojoloco47: one more thing: say my name first in your message if it's to me [12:59] rojoloco47: because then i get hilighted and my irc client nudge me :D [12:59] ok Gnea. so if i install another file manager like thunar the issue is solved is it? [12:59] iceroot: But why is it not installed by default if it is that important? [12:59] blackbeard: try it and see what happens. [13:00] ok will let you kno... thank you guys. [13:00] diddy: because ubuntu is using another dhcp-client [13:00] you are using windows too @ Kottizen [13:00] rojoloco47: yep [13:00] atm i do that [13:00] for game developing [13:00] So fast typing :o [13:01] xD [13:01] game developing ? [13:01] yes [13:01] make games [13:01] Kottizen: go for linux-game-developing, so that we dont need windows as a game-loader in the future :) [13:01] iceroot: Do you happen to know what the name of Ubuntu's DHCP client is? [13:01] of what level ? [13:01] blackbeard: you may want to check the forums/fluxbox guides on how to get it set up in a decent way. its may take a little tweaking [13:01] professional or just for flash games ? [13:01] rojoloco47: they are both IRC clients.. so yes.. they connect to IRC servers..

There's an option for it in firefox though [13:19] geirha, thanx [13:19] Tools -> Something [13:19] VSpike: no..not black marks [13:19] geirha, i know that .. thanx [13:19] rojoloco47: This is offtopic for this channel. Please ask in #freenode or #ubuntu-offtopic [13:19] VSpike: but it acts like light is fading [13:19] if only firefox were as fast as chrome :/ [13:19] rojoloco47: hit 'f1' and read some of the IRC beginner guides. [13:19] VSpike: u know..like the screen slowly fading... [13:20] VSpike: is it bcoz of too many tabs? [13:20] Abhi_: oh. wierd, I've never seen that [13:20] VSpike: hmm [13:20] Abhi_: firefox fading to 'grey' then comming back you mean? [13:20] is there a way to reliable combine two sets of /etc/passwd and /etc/group files from two different machines ? [13:20] ei como entro no ubuntu br?

That's a very complicated task [13:21] Abhi_: compiz has a 'feature' where if a program hangs/dosent respond after a specific amount of time it 'dims' the windows as a indication the program is having issues... [13:21] maxie it has a lot of features, I think that one is in it as well [13:21] Dr_Willis: ohhh [13:21] Dr_Willis: of course, good point [13:21] Abhi_: i see it on firefox on some sites quite a lot. [13:21] i know that from before [13:22] i need a software that is similier 2 wavepad [13:22] Abhi_: a few other apps also do it ocasionally.. depends onthe app/what its doing [13:22] aha... [13:22] so thats why gedit also acts like that [13:22] is there any solution to this? [13:23] its a 'feature' :) the OS is giving you feedback saying the app is slow to respond... [13:23] ohhhhhhh [13:23] diable compiz.. andyou will just see the app Hang for a while i guess. :) [13:23] duh! [13:23] at least i THINK thats how it works. :) [13:23] Abhi_ / Dr_Willis : gedit shouldn't do that, surely? [13:23] ive never seen gedit doit. [13:23] i tend to use geany for my editor however. [13:23] well it does [13:24] it just stops responding ... [13:24] Abhi_: Do you have much RAM? [13:24] doesnt close... [13:24] er..leme chk [13:24] it only does it when you are 'closing' gedit? [13:24] Abhi_: free command will tell you [13:24] no..like switching betn tabs [13:25] when i get to the jaunty login screen, i get a kernel panic. i can go to alt-f1 beforehand and see a load of output ending in "end trace", but i can't find it anywhere in the logs. where should i be looking? [13:25] seems odd.. I perfer geany..you may want to try it instead of gedit. [13:25] hmmmm [13:25] how abt emacs? [13:25] Abhi_: this is linux.. use what you like [13:25] i can't see the entirety of the output because it's gone off the screen and the machine freezes immediately after outputting [13:25] Gothfunc: kernel panic is not always logged, depending on the problem I think [13:25] go use vi and sed if ya want :) [13:26] ed [13:26] hmmm...and i also hibernate the m/c [13:26] cat [13:26] VSpike: thanks. gah. what the hell am i supposed to do now :/ [13:26] dont shut it down.. [13:26] if i place the mouse pointer over a mp3.. it plays..... what is the player that is used here ? [13:26] is it bad? [13:26] Abhi_: If you like to use keyboard combos to do all sorts of magical tasks, then emacs or vim is perfect [13:26] gierha : thanks [13:27] bye ppl :D [13:27] for the info [13:27] Abhi_: watch out for mac [13:27] it sucks [13:27] yeah [13:27] big time [13:27] -_- [13:27] mac? [13:27] and so expensive it is [13:27] xD [13:28] ohhh [13:28] imac? [13:28] I love Whoppers over Big Macs [13:28] heh [13:28] better build u own [13:28] -_- [13:28] :-p [13:28] i m downloading the MAC OS X right now [13:28] Abhi_: why bother. [13:28] Abhi_: Pirate. [13:28] Does anybody know whether Ubuntu can be forced to use smooth scrolling instead of "incremental" scrolling for all applications? [13:28] heh ;) [13:29] Gothfunc: do you only get the panic if you start X? [13:29] I'm trying to install adobe flash player. I've done it in the past with success, but have coming across issues. I've also tried downloading it through software management but it isn't reading in Moxilla. any suggestions? [13:30] VSpike: i can single user fine. the kernel panic happens up to 2 minutes after the x login screen appears [13:30] Gothfunc: does it hang the machine completely? [13:30] VSpike: pasting this from earlier: i have a hp compaq dx2200, installed jaunty, it was fine until i installed restricted graphics drivers, but now it kernel panics with flashing keyboard lights within 2 minutes of the login screen. the actual time appears to be random. [13:31] at first i thought it was the gfx card (ati), so i replaced it with an nvidia, then installed restricted driver - and now we're back to kernel panic land. uninstalling restricted drivers does nothing to help [13:31] VSpike: yes [13:31] deex: uninstall any instances of any flash player (like gnash) and sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [13:31] i have try 2 install cabos trough wine that works fine but the software says when i start it that i need 2 install flash player and that toungh i have do it already ,,any tip what i can do?? [13:31] fumblnoob: how do i uninstall? [13:32] Gothfunc: out of interest, have you tried booting to normal login screen then going ctrl-alt-F1 and doing "sudo invoke-rc.d gdm stop" [13:32] deex: did you install from synaptic? [13:32] VSpike: by the way, it was still panicking after i replaced the card - i had to install jaunty afresh. then when i installed the restricted drivers it happened again [13:32] VSpike: i'll try that now [13:32] fumblnoob: yes. just click remove? [13:32] deex: yes [13:33] Gothfunc: would be interesting to see if it crashes then, because a difference between that and single user mode is that although both have no X, you'll still get all the other background services running which you don't in single mode [13:33] fumblnoob: does it make a difference if it is remove or remove completely? [13:33] deex: make sure you close all instances of firefox between attempts [13:33] anyone have a idea how get flash 2 work for wine software 2 (like frostwire and cambos??) [13:33] Gothfunc: perhaps you could also change your video mode in grub to get more text on the console :) [13:34] how do I kill the "auto eth0" connection from network manager? [13:34] lol [13:34] hi [13:34] iam compiling kernel isthat correct [13:34] # make-kpkg --initrd binary?????? [13:34] deex: remove should be enough [13:34] or kill the networkmanager totally and revert to a manual IP config. I need to prevent my system from using DHCP [13:34] is correct [13:34] how do understand my laptop use infrared ? on ubuntu? [13:35] fumblnoob: now go back to terminal and use sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [13:35] ? === LioTheSurfer is now known as bahh [13:35] celestar: there are settings to set your ip manually from within the network manager [13:35] hi, what are some good adblocking proxies? I am considerring privoxy, but, want to know more about the options [13:35] deex: yes [13:36] C ya all l8r! [13:36] serp: yes. I have added a manual connection === Enissay_ is now known as Enissay [13:36] serp: however, I cannot remove the "auto eth0" connection, and that one is used first.

[13:36] Gothfunc|g1: ok [13:37] deex: after you do that do a killall firefox to make sure no firefox processes are running, then start firefox and give it a shot [13:37] Celestar, edit the auto eth0 and uncheck "Connect Automatically" [13:37] vspike: ok it still does it. i think i might be able to get it to write the logs by disabling caching [13:37] serp: the edit button is greyed out :P [13:37] serp: hence my problem ;) [13:38] Celestar, sorry I must have missed that [13:38] Celestar: is there an unlock button? [13:38] Kottizen - another wget question :) [13:38] !jp | lb_ [13:38] lb_, please see my private message [13:38] danbhfive: negative on the unlock button [13:38] ventti: oh :d [13:38] Gothfunc|g1: interesting. so it's not X related then. Have you got magic sysrq enabled? Does it work? [13:38] Celestar, as a workaround you could just edit the auto eth0 and set your manual ip in it.. instead of making a new [13:39] ventti: what [13:39] ? [13:39] serp: the edit button is still greyed out ;) [13:39] Gothfunc|g1: have you got a winmodem or something similar? [13:39] VSpike: isn't it enabled by default? [13:39] Gothfunc: I forget :) [13:39] VSpike: i did try sysrq but got nothing [13:39] how do I extract an archive with root permissions? [13:39] i have proxy sorted in gnome preferences. in using wget do i have to tell wget to use proxy or will it see it automatically? [13:39] serp: I'm considering just removing the dhcp-client package, but I'd rather not to. === MidsummerDawn is now known as MD|Buseh [13:42] ventti: it will see it by auto :) [13:43] all connection from your computer will be using the proxy [13:43] Celestar, do you find an "unlock button somewhere inside the gui window?" [13:44] serp: or doing "chmod a-x `which dhclient`" or something. [13:44] I'm just wondering why I cannot remove the autoeth0 conn, or do anything with it for that matter. [13:45] VSpike: i can't see any modem ports on the back [13:45] Celestar: maybe you want to try wicd instead of network manager. === MD|Buseh is now known as MidsummerDawn [13:47] Gothfunc: worth seeing if it's enabled first [13:48] Gothfunc: IIRC cat /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq [13:49] I need help to create partitions with fdisk.

Will the system handle the drivers just fine for each one? I'm looking to replace an internal 802.11g adapter with a USB 802.11n adapter and want to make sure it's working before I yank the g adapter. If I install an ndiswrapper for the new USB one, the old one will work just fine with the standard driver, correct? [13:50] fumblnoob: it works. thanks!!

[13:50] ascheel: weird. [13:51] awaad, do you have port 22 opened in your firewall.. and do you have sshd turned on as a service? [13:51] VSpike: ah, looks like i can't get the logs to work after all then... [13:51] Kottizen - thanks :) [13:51] awaad: ssh isn't listening on port 22 (if at all) [13:51] ascheel: Why not get an atheros card? Wifi drivers are pretty good [13:51] danbhfive: because I am currently using an Atheros, but the USB one I have currently isn't Atheros. That's the new one going in. [13:51] i am new to ubuntu, and i just installed a lot of stuff, compiz, and what not, but now whenever i grab the uppermost colored bar of firefox or any other window ubuntu locks up, i tweaked the transparency settings i think that is the problem, its a dell inspiron laptop, anyone had a similar problem o know any workarounds [13:51] or^ [13:51] VSpike: i've tried noacpi, and disabling some things in the bios, neither helped [13:51] ascheel: if you are worried about testing it out, I think you should be fine [13:51] i have a proble isthta correct "make-kpkg --initrd binary" ???????

[13:51] serp, ascheel : But I can't connect to it from a remote system [13:51] Celestar: because Network Manager isnt so good... i prefer wicd. [13:51] awaad, connecting from your laptop you are using the ssh client... to connect to it you need the sshd service started [13:51] ascheel: but they should work side by side I believe too [13:51] serp : How can I start sshd service ? [13:51] ok will try, rebooting now, do you know where the transparency settings are i changed them and forgot where they were [13:51] apt-get install ssh [13:51] awaad: sudo service ssh start [13:51] awaad, System/Administration/Services in your menus [13:51] aren't the fglrx driver supposed to work equally with all Radeon cards?

[13:51] heh [13:51] no [13:51] you ping a machine.. not a port [13:51] it wont give the same results [13:51] ping just checks if the machines connectivity is up [13:51] k [13:51] telnet ip-public 22 [13:51] for the 2 tings [13:51] dvinchi666, he got it working already.. [13:51] mrwes: sshd isnt installed by default, either, right? sudo apt-get install openssh-server awaad [13:51] does the brand of the Radeon card matter in ubuntu? [13:51] sol931, right, and the client too :P [13:51] mrwes: the client should be installed === notplus_M is now known as plus_M [13:51] sol931, oh? Ok...I'm gonna sit my ass back down :) [13:51] is there a way to tell how i should install my new Radeon HD4850 card in ubuntu? [13:51] any tips/tricks? [13:51] Celestar, it should but be careful when doing that [13:51] ok, i'll be more specific [13:51] Celestar: you probably can (i dont know how), but if you did, you wouldn't have found the real problem. I'd suggest you keep researching the problem [13:51] if you are running gui apps as root better use gksudo [13:51] Celestar, great.. for some reason it didn't ask you for sudo password when you started it before?

[13:53] sol931 thanks i think that resolved it [13:53] !u | mrwes [13:53] mrwes: U is the 21st letter of the modern latin alphabet. Neither 'U' or 'Ur' are words in the English language. Nor are 'R', 'Y', 'l8', 'Ne1' or 'Bcuz'. Mangled English is hard for non-native English speakers. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/abbreviations/ for more information. [13:53] ass [13:54] I used U? where [13:54] i don't even know what "ne1" means, since i'm not native English :-) [13:54] anyone? [13:54] wtf -- come on guys [13:54] this is because /etc/resolv.conf contains ips to chinese name servers - i want to be able to access the name servers that my server is talking to 10.0.80.11, 10.0.80.12 - my server is located at 10.8.0.1 [13:54] what's up [13:54] mrwes: try to read it better..."cuz" falls into the same category [13:54] maybe i can help [13:54] danielle: well... now you got to find out, why compiz was crashing... you have the real compiz-config installed? try to disable the appropriate plugins and check, if youre lucky. I suggest you install fusion-icon, so you can reload the wm easier. [13:54] Polysics, "ne1" means "anyone" ... but if somebody ever uses that, you should tell them where ti stick it. === gDD is now known as gDD|AWAY === RevTy is now known as TyInformal [13:55] i will make sure to [13:55] but i can't ping 10.0.80.11 from my laptop. what do i need to add in my routing table to be able to do so.

[13:55] TyInformal, I was trying to leave it up to the imagination ... your fault for having an ugly imagination ;) [13:55] SMS are the bane of a generation in all languages [13:55] oh [13:55] and that deserves a ban???????

My fdisk http://paste.linuxassist.net/214971 [13:56] can't probe all of them by hand :-) [13:56] Polysics, you can run nmap against your localhost [13:56] communicational simplicity [13:56] Polysics: iptables [13:56] !ot [13:56] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [13:57] that does away with [13:57] Polysics, try a scan at shieldsUp! [13:57] mrwes: In a channel with many non-native english speakers, its a good idea to watch for correct spelling and not to make certain jokes, which could lead to data loss ;-) [13:57] it's a server machine so i have no browser [13:57] Polysics, er ... "nmap -sS -P0 localhost" will show you all your local ports, and running "nmap -sS -P0 " will sho you all of the ports opened to remote hosts. [13:57] Polysics, you can use netstat or nmap [13:57] dd [13:57] sol931, I'm not arguing that point -- I understand it [13:57] serp, ooh, netstat ... why didn't I think of that one? :/ [13:58] eurythmia, will that show UDP ports too? [13:58] communication itself [13:58] for [13:58] Polysics, yes. [13:58] to successfully communicate is to destroy the need to communicate [13:59] TyInformal: Please, this is not ubuntu related, could you please move the discussion to #ubuntu-offtopic ?

[13:59] ok Pici [14:00] Polysics, sorry ... -sS is a SYN/ACK scan ... -sU will scan UDP [14:00] Polysics: you want to open your netfilter firewall? [14:00] how do i set up ubuntu as a domain manager [14:00] a primary domain manager [14:00] !iptables | Polysics [14:00] eurythmia: -sT is connect() scan, the simplest one. [14:00] Polysics: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Uncomplicated_Firewall_ufw), or 'iptables' (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo). GUI applications such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist [14:00] I need help to create partitions with fdisk. I get error 16 while tapying w. My fdisk http://paste.linuxassist.net/214971 [14:01] grawity, I usually use -sS when I run my scans ... I don't know why really ... maybe just habit. [14:01] CopyWriter__: i think it is the winbind daemon, maybe samba can do the job, too. Maybe Google for "how to linux domain server" or something similar, there should be plenty of tutorials [14:01] Polysics, use ufw and the GUI gufw, both are in the repositories [14:01] thanks sol931 [14:02] bahh: i cannot see the error on this post [14:02] nibbler_, I know.. that's just a fdisk === sol931 is now known as sol93 [14:02] bahh: nice harddisks, then...

[14:03] robertj: shouldn't a ppp adapter get it's IP address via DHCP? Do you have a reason, why you want to do it yourself?

[15:45] Theres a font in 9.04. When I look at it in my terminal profile it just says Monospace. But I'm sure thats not the name of the font [15:45] So I'm trying to find out what the name of that Monospace font is [15:45] I really like it [15:45] sanguisdex: well, that might be true, but since they dropped support for the cards, the forks would not get developed either... [15:45] does anyone know where the configuration files for custom icons for folders in nautilus would be? [15:45] Ok, if this is not the forum for compatibility for QT 4.5 with Ubuntu 9.04? perhaps someone could direct me to a forum that could possibly help here. Thanks.

[17:20] frost wire fatal error everytime i install [17:20] Or even stop automounting of specific partitions. That would be better. [17:20] ernz, check your "fstab" under "/etc" and delete the lines that automatically mount your external hard drive [17:20] working on ubuntu.. my internet goes off after sometime again and again [17:21] how you add -i to make when using checkinstall?

Any other suggestions [17:22] mezquitale: it says its already installed [17:22] ernz edit /etc/fstab and remove the text string auto, from the lines of devices you dont want to automount [17:22] ernz, you dont have to remove anyline, all you have to do is put a "#" in the line that mounts the hard drive you dont want to be mounted automatically [17:22] Quiznos: I can't see the drives in fstab [17:22] can i install using .rpm? [17:23] ernz they arent mentioend in etc/fstab at all? [17:23] !.rpm [17:23] RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous and unsupported) [17:23] DwightShroot, uninstall it using synaptic and then reinstall it.

"dangerous" is not applicable === Julian-de is now known as Julian-off [17:24] Quiznos: Nope. External drives. Similar to thumb drives. I don't think they are written to fstab ever because they are temporary mounts. I have some external drives which have some partitions I want to automount, and some I never want to mount automatically. [17:24] Quiznos, thats what the bot says not me [17:24] Quiznos, ernz: I guess it's Nautilus doing the automounting ... try _adding_ them to fstab, then nautilus/gnome-volume-manager won't touch them. [17:24] thiebaude i know, the comment should be fix and "dangerous" changed to "not recommended at all" [17:24] any idea? [17:24] zopiac: it will once you start it, what desktop env are you using ? [17:24] grawity yea, i was tryin to think of that.

[17:39] !repeat > TendencyDriven [17:39] TendencyDriven, please see my private message [17:39] Ahhhs, sorry [17:40] Mikey^: that means i'll have to close irc :-P i'll try that in a few minutes though [17:40] SirFunk: other than irc [17:40] mezquitale no X gives an error [17:41] what is the alternative to ifconfig that ubuntu uses? [17:41] I'll soon find out [17:41] ybit: ifconfig? [17:41] ybit: you mean ip? [17:41] SirFunk: as far as I know, irc does not block [17:41] Is there a way to keep my computer from freezing when returning from suspend when i have my video drivers enabled? it does not freeze when the drivers are disabled. can anyone help me out with this???? [17:41] ubuntu doesn't use ifconfig iirc [17:42] jethro: nvidia card? [17:42] ybit: sure it does [17:42] Mikey^: i have irc/firefox/pidgin/terminal open [17:42] gartral radeon [17:42] ybit...it uses network manager [17:42] ybit: ifconfig is installed/available [17:42] doesn't seem like that should cause such problems [17:42] i know it' avaiable, i just recall there was alt to ifconfig from some distro i used [17:42] jethro: radeon? that's a new one, are you using the official, or open source radeon drivers? [17:42] yeah those dont block.. rhythmbox does though SirFunk [17:42] ybit: ip replaced it in some distros [17:43] gartral i am using the proprietary drivers for my ati x1200 and i cannot find any open source drivers [17:43] ybit: network manager doesn't actually replace ifconfig...it however does replace ifup and ifdown for controlling the interface. YOu can still reconfigure the nic with ifconfig [17:43] Mikey^: ahh, yeah don't ahve that open [17:43] jethro: im at a loss, im sorry my friend [17:44] SirFunk: what netbook is yours ? [17:44] Is there a way to keep my computer from freezing when returning from suspend when i have my video drivers enabled? it does not freeze when the drivers are disabled. the card is an ATI x1200 can anyone help me out with this???? [17:44] Mikey^: Toshiba NB205 [17:44] atom processor , like most [17:45] !repeat > jethro [17:45] jethro, please see my private message [17:46] Hey. [17:46] jethro, install latest ati firegl drivers? the ones included in ubuntu are recent, but not latest [17:47] XLV where can i find those drivers? === Julian-off is now known as Julian-de [17:47] jethro, ati's site? [17:47] I'd like to be able to VNC into an Ubuntu machine running 9.04 Server, but it doesn't seem to be working. Do I need other things installed aside from vnc4server? [17:48] Is mod_python installed per default on ubuntu server systems? [17:48] xlv there is nothing there for my model card it skips over my model. [17:48] shawnps: just use vino [17:48] * zargonovski is away: Gone away for now [17:48] shawnps, firewall running ( eg shorewall ) you'd beed to allow vnc ports to come in into the ubuntu system.. also it needs some configruring.. user, its password etc [17:49] Can someone tell me what 'apt-get build-dep linux-source' means? I'm just trying to download the kernel source and get it into /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build and don't care about recompiling it. Just want to get it downloaded for some driver compilations I need to do [17:49] SirFunk: cant find anything like that, why dont you file a bug report [17:49] shawnps: Do you have X installed? There needs to be a graphical interface for VNC to launch. [17:49] It seems like I can connect, it just displays a black background [17:49] how do i delete .wine directory? [17:49] grawity: I'm not sure, what's the package called that would need to be installed for X? [17:49] yuri_zhivago: rm -rf ~/.wine [17:49] jethro, the gpu is a separate gpu card/module in a laptop or igp? [17:50] Mikey^: i think i will [17:50] thanks [17:50] Mikey^: thanks. [17:50] i have configured skype in Ubuntu machine but i am lessening incoming voice,out voice is not enable to reach others, [17:50] shawnps: vnc capability is installed out-of-the-box - go to System | Preferences | Remote Desktop [17:50] how do i solve the problem [17:50] I'm not sure; try installing, say, fluxbox or Xfce [17:50] TN: open volume control and increase the volume for the mic [17:50] joeyeye: He has Ubuntu Server, I think. [17:50] joeyeye: It's a server, no monitor [17:50] volume is ok [17:50] xlv i think it is integrated [17:51] wht is xlv [17:51] TN: have you set skype to adjust volume automatically ? [17:51] can i install the xlv [17:51] TN: xlv is another guy chatting here [17:51] how can i kill a process frostwire it wont let me close it??? [17:51] k [17:51] shawnps: so no X ... isn't that why vnc will give black screen ... ? [17:52] server_side, killall -9 frostwire [17:52] server_side: Go to the Terminal, type: killall -9 frostwire [17:52] joeyeye: I don't know, that's sort of why I'm asking [17:52] TN: go to skype prefernces [17:52] does the ubuntustudio alternate install cd install a kernel with all the realtime patches etc on ? [17:52] joeyeye: What do I need to install, then, for VNC to work? [17:52] k [17:52] frostwire: no process killed [17:53] thas what i got of that command [17:53] shawnps: do you want a desktop, or a SSH ? [17:53] joeyeye: I can already SSH, I want to be able to VNC into the server [17:53] servide_side, is it a window which you need to close? [17:53] server_side: ps -A | grep frost [17:53] shawnps: Remote desktop (VNC) is already included in Ubuntu. [17:53] shawnps: then you'll need to install a window manager and X [17:53] If I have dual monitors, how do I prevent windows from going into the empty space left behing by a window that has a different height than another? [17:54] shawnps: i.e. gnome-desktop or something else [17:54] joeyeye: okay, do you know what the package for X is called? [17:54] I have one that is 1280x1024 and another that is 1440x900. [17:54] hi [17:54] shawnps，xorg? [17:54] Mikey^, nothing seems to close it [17:54] shawnps: gnome-desktop should pull everything down you need [17:54] shawnps: search for something releated to Xorg [17:54] jethro, http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/linux/Legacy/Pages/radeon_linux.aspx?type=2.7&product=2.7.4.3.3.3.1&lang=English [17:55] server_side: what does 'pgrep frostwire' tell you? [17:55] I believe I installed gnome-desktop and then tried it, and it failed to work [17:55] I'll try again [17:55] nothing lol [17:55] I have some problems with my WIFI chipset... I cant get it started [17:56] hi.................. [17:56] please send me how do i solve the problem [17:56] im naoj [17:56] server [17:56] Witrh 2 monitors, how do I prevent windows from going into the empty space around them? [17:56] TN: open skype preferences [17:56] hello [17:56] ok [17:56] next [17:57] go to audio and it that uncheck automatically adjust volume [17:57] TN: also check that you have connected your mic properly [17:57] is it possible to run windows from grub on hd1 ? with ubuntu on hd0 ? [17:57] only option is available [17:58] flavie, yes, but you need to modify grub correctly [17:58] TN: check sound recorder is Applications-> Sound & Video [17:58] k [17:58] porter1, can I have the syntax [17:58] and see if you are able to hear you own voice, if it works then it their problem [17:58] shawnps: what window manager do you want to use ? [17:58] Why would someone get dropped to a grub shell at boot time? (after stage 1.5) ? [17:59] edbian: your partition is erased ? [17:59] heo [17:59] Hi, my friend needs some help, he installed Ubuntu linux on his PS3, but he hardly has any commands, and we can't do what we need to do because we're even missing apt-get and dpkg. We have wget, so is there any way we could at least get these utilities? This is a list of all the commands he has (just 26...) http://pastebin.com/d59946baa . Can anyone assist us? [18:00] Mikey^: It's not actually me actually. The partition isn't erased. Maybe /boot/grub/menu.lst is pointing to the wrong placE? [18:00] Yamakiri: what version did you install ? [18:00] edbian: maybe [18:00] Yamakiri: You don't have apt-get ? I don't think that's possible [18:01] joeyeye: I dunno, GNOME? [18:01] flavie, add this to the end of /boot/grub/menu.lst: http://pastebin.com/m42c6f30d [18:01] edbian: it can also be grub cant find that menu.lst or grub.conf file [18:01] joeyeye: I think I got it working [18:01] Mikey^: linux-image-powerpc64-smp [18:01] Mikey^: Ok thanks. [18:01] flavie, that assumes XP is the first partition on it's drive [18:01] Mikey^: I highly suspect menu.lst is missing for some reason :) [18:01] edbian: well it's not in /usr/bin, and which returns nothing along with /usr/bin/env... [18:01] :) [18:01] i think i might have deleted my swap space is it possible to check to see if i have swap space? [18:01] Yamakiri: it would be in /sbin [18:02] Yamakiri: either in /sbin or in /bin [18:02] Yamakiri: do you have a /usr/bin ? [18:02] edbian: well okay I'll try that, but it said apt-get command not found when we just ran it in the term... [18:02] shawnps: take a look through here: http://www.arsgeek.com/2006/09/26/how-to-connect-to-your-headless-server-with-vncgui/ [18:02] Mikey^: yes sir [18:02] Yamakiri: /bin is binaries that are part of the core system. /sbin is binaries that can only be run as root. /usr/bin is binaries that were added by the package manager [18:02] Yamakiri: are you using bash ? [18:03] Yamakiri: "sudo apt-get blah blah" possibly? [18:03] porter1, ok I ll let you know :) [18:03] Mikey^: /bin/sh, although we did export SHELL='/bin/bash' [18:03] edbian: We tried, it failed [18:03] this command worked on ibex: sudo /usr/bin/gnome-power-cmd.sh suspend then i installed jaunty and now i get: sudo: /usr/bin/gnome-power-cmd.sh: command not found what gives? [18:03] and he doesn't have sudo either... [18:03] Hi all, i don't know if it's ok to ask this here but does anyone familier enough with the mp3 tagging app picard? My question is long winded, hence the preface. [18:03] Yamakiri: which version of ubuntu was that? [18:03] Yamakiri: without dpkg I think we cant help you [18:04] !ask | innomen [18:04] innomen: 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. :-) [18:04] can anyone tell me how to check to see if i might have deleted my swap space? [18:04] lstarnes: linux-image-powerpc64-smp [18:04] Dayo: yea genius, read what i typed [18:04] Ubuntu version 8.10 [18:04] my question is about a page long, you want it? [18:04] joeyeye: Okay, thanks [18:04] jethro, log in to ubuntu, then do fdisk -l and see if swaps there [18:04] innomen: if it's long, pastebin it or ask it on the forums [18:04] still cant close frostwire, can any one help why? [18:05] Guys, using a Logitech MX-Revolution, how do I map the thumb buttons (4 and 5) so that they function natively but continue to function under firefox? [18:05] hi all. im having issues with the usb.img i downloaded for ubuntu netbook remix...... can i just install a regular ubuntu and convert to netbook remix version? [18:05] jethro: Make that sudo fdisk -l [18:05] how can i tweak my ubuntu for using less memory? [18:05] fahadsadah, thanks :) [18:05] darkhamm: See Xubuntu. Lighter [18:05] darkhamm: using less memory? you mean be less efficient? slower? use the harddrive more? [18:05] lstarnes, i'd rather see if anyone here is comfy with picard first, maybe save a lot of time for me and the person willing/able to help, God why do people behave like robots [18:05] porter1 there is only /dev/sda1 listed is that my swap space? [18:05] Hi everyone. I have an itronix lx260 laptop with a built in leadtek gps unit. does anyone know how i would go about getting setting it up on ubuntu 9.04? [18:05] Probably not [18:05] Mikey^: we're looking through /bin and /sbin right now for apt-get and dpkg, it'll be a minute [18:05] I'm trying to use sudo to do mount -a but after I send the command it just seems like it is still processing over and over and over again [18:06] plus i didnt know if it was evn ok to ask about spesfic apps here [18:06] Slart: thank you :-) [18:06] Yamakiri: ok [18:06] Slart: less ram [18:06] innomen: settle down. no one here owes u anything. we're all volunteers. [18:06] jethro, it looks as if you didn't create a swap if there is only one [18:06] Yamakiri: you can also do this [18:06] Slart: excuse me [18:06] we don't see either... [18:06] porter1 i think that i accidentally deleted it, is there a way to create a new one? [18:06] darkhamm: linux will use *all* your memory.. that's the way it's designed [18:06] hi, I have a pppoe internet connection, but even if I set it to connect automatically when I enter gnome it is not connecting automatically, I always need to init the connection manually, I'm using intrepid ibex, with the network manager 0.7.0 [18:06] jethro, do you still have an ubuntu disk? [18:07] Slart: yes, but with 1 gb ddr1 [18:07] dayo: *facepalm* you owe me reading my question before talking down to me, and i'm trying to make it easy for anyone who is willignt o help, how about you just not answer, if you can't help? [18:07] porter1 yes [18:07] jethro, insert the disk, run the LiveCD, don't install, and get to the desktop [18:07] innomen: can you just ask the question? (sans drama) [18:08] darkhamm: well.. xfce is a bit easier on the memory compared to gnome.. you can try shutting down stuff you don't need running.. I'm not sure if disabling some of the TTY's will make a difference but it's an option [18:08] innomen: no one talked down to you. u're the one making an issue out of this. [18:08] porter1 ok then what do i do? === Ash_R is now known as Silver_Fox_ [18:08] Slart: ok [18:08] innomen: if u need help post your question and wait to see, if someone can help u. it's that simple. alternatively, u can go post in the forum, if u prefer. [18:08] sipior: sure thing, but when someone complains about it being long, i'll blame you ok? [18:08] jethro, then go to System->Partition Editor, and resize your one large ubuntu partition to make room for swap. Creat a swap partition after that. You'll need to read some guides about how to use Gparted if you don't already. [18:09] porter1, I got an error message : NTLDR missing [18:09] innomen: whatever makes you feel better, pal. [18:09] dayo: are you still talking to me? [18:09] darkhamm: if you're really looking for something slim I would almost suggest going with DSL (Damn small linux) or puppylinux [18:09] this dude's amazing. [18:09] darkhamm: you can also start with the minimal install cd and go from there.. only installing the stuff you need [18:09] any one know why i cant ill frostwire? [18:09] Ignorance is bliss I always say [18:09] Slart: yes something lighter , but very useful like ubuntu [18:10] anyone know how to uninstall GRUB and restore my Windows Vista / Windows 7 boot loader ? [18:10] Slart: i really like synaptic [18:10] flavie, what order do you have your hard drvies in? Ubuntu must be the first hard drive and it must be the master [18:10] !minimal | darkhamm [18:10] darkhamm: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [18:10] porter1 i already have ubuntu installed, is it possible to do that from this installation? [18:10] server_side: have u tried sudo killall frostwire ? === splashscreen is now known as gimmevoice [18:10] dayo, yes [18:10] my ubuntu machine is connected to my wireless network, but not to the internet (like this vista machine is). does anyone have an idea why? [18:10] jethro, you can't resize a partition you are using. Doing so will cause damages. [18:10] Slart: minimals are live? [18:10] darkhamm: nope.. it uses the same installer as the alternate install.. ie a text based one [18:11] !lvm | jethro [18:11] jethro: Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [18:11] jethro: for future reference. been meaning to get into it, myself. [18:11] dayo, is he using raid? [18:11] hello all [18:11] porter1, http://pastebin.com/m2d60c327 [18:12] flavie, it should work then. [18:12] dayo i am not sure what most of that means [18:12] flavie, is grub installed on your ubuntu drive? [18:12] I used picard to scan a folder, it returns a result, but the song in question is from a mix album and a production album, i attempted a lookup, but the links are not passing from musicbrains (firefox) to the app (picard) i'm wondering if there is a way to determine if the album version is missing in the database or if maybe there is a way to tell it to exclude the mix album, i want it to be stored with its root artist, not "various" since i only have on [18:12] e song from this compilation. (third eye foundation) There are other details that may be relevant to the issue. I'm not sure where the problem is, the database on thier end, fire fox picard or something which handels the opening of link in outside progrmas [18:13] porter1, I think so [18:13] jethro: raid and lvm are usually implemented on servers. it lets you resize partitions. [18:13] it shouldn't give you that error then. Check the boot order of your hard drives in the BIOS. I think it's reading the windows one first if it's finding ntldr [18:14] I have a question about just starting: I have an Intel machine but when I started downloading the latest Ubuntu ISO, the file name clearly said "AMD64" on it. Is this ok? Will it work on my 64 bit Intel machine? [18:14] porter1, grub loads though [18:14] have any of you been able to fix overscan that is producted when ubuntu is used with an hdtv? [18:14] does anyone know where i can find info on getting my laptop to recognize an internal gps unit? [18:14] flavie, so grub loads, and then windows doesn't start? [18:14] Brenden: AMD64 is just another name for x64. Both AMD and Intel use the same architecture. [18:15] Brenden: yes, it should work on your Intel if you are sure it is 64 bit [18:15] * innomen smirks [18:15] Brenden: yes [18:15] great, thanks guys [18:15] porter1, exactly [18:15] Brenden:yes [18:15] How do I change my $TERM environment variable? [18:15] what's unicode character 22? [18:15] joel_: export TERM= [18:16] palomer: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Unicode_characters [18:16] Ok. So I have 2 IPs assigned by the ISP. on two different MACs. I know how to add a new connection with a spoofed MAC from network manager but I want to learn doing it old style.. gedit [18:16] flavie, does that windows install normallyh work fine if run by itself? [18:16] If you want to learn doing it old style, at least use vi. [18:16] I'm going to assume no one is terribly familiar with Picard. Thanks for your time guys, I'll try again later :) [18:16] porter1, yup [18:16] th0r:thanks! === __lupo__ is now known as __Lupo__ [18:17] porter1, problems starts after the ubuntu/grub install [18:17] JackBauer: man interfaces [18:17] palomer: afaik unicode characters are the same as ascii for the ascii range [18:17] why ubuntu automatically mount my usb disk to /media folder and not "/dev"? [18:18] attorianzo_: things are never mounted to /dev. [18:18] i got a sound related problem with alsa, when i login as a "normal" user, it says "alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory" [18:18] but when i use recovery mode and run it with root, it works, any ideas? [18:18] flavie, install? Ubuntu isn't installed? [18:18] attorianzo_: /dev holds device files, not filesystem mount points. [18:18] attorianzo_: because ubuntu is good to you. The device is mounted to /dev [18:18] hi guys. running ubuntu hardy on an intel 945 chip set. i kno glxgears is no bench mark but still... when i run glx gears all i get is a low 330 fps :( [18:18] attorianzo_: in /dev are the devices, like they are used to acces harddisks. so one of these devices is, using a filesystemdriver, mounted to /media or /mnt [18:19] it is mounted from /dev [18:19] blackbeard: intel chips had some problems in jaunty.. I'm not sure if it's all fixed by now [18:19] Overscan problems with ubuntu -- a black border around the ubuntu desktop appears when you use a device like an hdtv as a monitor [18:19] !intel | blackbeard [18:19] blackbeard: Ubuntu 9.04 has a known regression for some Intel graphics support. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/IntelPerformance and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1130582 for more information. [18:19] Slart. an on hardy [18:19] porter1, it is [18:19] how do i get sudo /usr/bin/gnome-power-cmd suspend to lock my screen too? when i come out of Suspend, the screen isn't locked. [18:19] blackbeard: bah.. sorry.. my bad..then I don't know.. intel used to work nicely on earlier ubuntu versions [18:20] How can I get a list of PIDs running? [18:20] arleslie: ps [18:20] arleslie: top [18:20] ok Slart [18:20] arleslie: Slart: ps not top [18:20] ps -a === dewc is now known as deww [18:20] Slart, dayo : thanks [18:20] porter1, The thing is : I install windows, it works, I install ubuntu, grub doesnt see windows, I fix grub, it gives that error message [18:20] arleslie, pgrep '.*' [18:20] i got a sound related problem with alsa, when i login as a "normal" user, it says "alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory" [18:20] but when i use recovery mode and run it with root, it works, any ideas? [18:20] Hi, does anyone know of any alternatives for "screen" application? it's got a 14MB overhead, which is quite alot for my Sheevaplug [18:21] porter1, I tried with XP on hd0 also [18:21] MarkG: Try dtach, it may be enough for you. [18:21] MarkG: It doesn't have anything besides attaching/detaching though. [18:21] MarkG: that's a shame. i love screen. [18:21] porter1, dayo, Slart: I was looking for top, ps gives me nothing pgrep only give me the pids [18:21] does it allow multiple sessions to be attached/detached? [18:21] MarkG: Yes. [18:22] MarkG: what do you want to achive? [18:22] cool, I'll check it out. Thanks. [18:22] MarkG: that doesn't sound right. how did you determine the memory overhead? [18:22] i'll remember august 4th, as the day flash video was as good as Windows for me... hopefully it stays like this when 9.10 goes live :) [18:22] arleslie: did u try ps -a ? [18:22] arleslie: ps -a will give you a long list of pids.. but since you're looking for top let me recommend htop.. it's top.. with some colors and extra bling bling =) [18:22] i was here again, but figured it out as i was alt-tabbed [18:22] it tells me it wants to gobble up 14MB of flash when I apt-get [18:22] flavie, then your xp version is screwed up somehow. NTLDR errors concern windows [18:22] not RAM memory, flash disk memory [18:23] MarkG: i misunderstood you. can you strip the binary? [18:23] anybody on ubuntu hardy and has the intel 945 chipset can you show me your /etc/X11/xorg.conf please? [18:23] I have no idea what that means :-) [18:23] flavie, it might be that you just need to recopy ntldr onto your windows partitin [18:23] Slart, I like htop :) [18:23] anybody on ubuntu hardy and has the intel 945 chipset can you show me your /etc/X11/xorg.conf please?

[18:49] Qu4R0w: its usually like admin then blank pass or blank login then admin pass or admin pass. only thing you can do is google default login routermodel [18:49] as it tries to write the Linux bytecode in it perhaps... [18:50] Qu4R0w: you can reset the router (usually a tiny inset button on the back), and then use the password given in your documentation [18:50] is there a epiphany irc channel? [18:50] sd32, you can try the gnome channel [18:50] porter1, k thanks [18:50] Chessguy: check to see how much swap space you have. it should be at least equal to ram [18:51] pepperjack: how do I check that?

You'll need to use a site like ipchicken.com to find your external [18:54] evilbug, I'm sorry... honest! [18:54] Qu4R0w: well, there must be *some* way to reset it. consult the product documentation.

[18:55] anybody can help with syncing my palm device with ubuntu? [18:55] pepperjack: Its me [18:55] firecrotch: not so, if your router supports a web interface, it can decipher your external ip [18:56] Technocrat, unless you're doing wierd tunneling stuff [18:56] porter1: :( not nice. [18:56] no tunneling stuff [18:56] I am a newbie guys [18:56] pepperjack, didn't think of that :) [18:56] gartral: True, but then it's the router determining it, not your computer :) [18:56] firecrotch: unless your computer IS your router ;P [18:56] :) [18:56] Technocrat: what are you trying to accomplish exactly?

[18:58] Technocrat: go to http://www.whatsmyip.org/ [18:58] Technocrat: chances are your ISP's DHCP server will give you the same address [18:58] pepperjack: I am talking about public ip or PPP ip address [18:58] can anyone tell me why want epiphany browser want load even after install from terminal? [18:58] Ose: you might want to check with whomever set up your router. might be that the address you've been given is not allowed to be forwarded for some reason. double check that the gateway is correct, though. also, is the windows machine on the same wireless network? [18:58] firecrotch, thanks for the pleasant thought :P [18:58] firecrotch: Yeah but it does also give facility to its users to renew it [18:59] how I can see the daemons that are actually working ?

[19:00] Technocrat: You should be able to find it on the web interface to your router/modem [19:00] is anyone here using a system76 pc? [19:00] bucky: the modem/router will allow me to change the private ip something like 192.168..... [19:00] sipior: of course it's on the same network :P [19:00] but it wont allow me to renew the public ip or PPP ip [19:00] Technocrat: what about the addy your isp gave you... that's what you're talking about right? [19:01] bucky: right ! [19:01] Technocrat, talk to your ISP if they're handing out the ips [19:01] I'm leaving for my vacations in a few days [19:01] Ose: check the routing information against what you can get from the windows box. if they're the same, have a chat with the person who set up your access point. [19:01] Technocrat: you can only change that from the dsl modem [19:01] porter1: I dont want to involve third party [19:01] sorry) [19:01] bikedog1: no but, I got one of their nice ubuntu stickers on my machine... and they support their machines... which is why you shouldn't be asking here [19:01] Technocrat: Rebooting your router/modem may do the trick in renewing your IP [19:01] pepperjack: i found it [19:01] pepperjack: it's only about 1 GB on a 3GB of RAM machine [19:02] Technocrat: did your ip get banned from somewhere?

[19:05] Technocrat: works for me [19:05] Technocrat you are likely just going to get the same IP address if you renew, you'd have to spoof your MAC address to get a different one probably [19:05] firecrotch: nothing [19:05] Technocrat: go to http://www.whatsmyip.org/ [19:05] Technocrat: go to http://www.whatsmyip.org/ [19:05] One of my friend gave me the website url and asked me to check the security articles on it [19:06] I visited once [19:06] are there any programs to help me put music on my mp3 player?

I mean how to configure firewall and which is a good firewall for starters on linux [19:14] well, I just got to myself update-locale [19:14] thanks [19:14] back [19:14] k_str, why would you want to use asm? most of linux is written in C [19:15] for educational purposes [19:15] okay [19:15] firecrotch: why not ? I am using ubuntu and from it I cant know my own public ip ? [19:15] k_str: Thats not really the focus of this channel, #ubuntu-offtopic would be a better place to discuss.

[19:17] fire, you probably use nvida, nvida has better scaling support in their custom program [19:18] fire, i am using an ati card and it doesn't give me an option to change the scaling....(like it did in windows) [19:18] spO: mostly nvidia, yes, but I have some via chipsets [19:18] spO: and I don't use nvidia's program [19:19] firecrotch, why not? [19:19] i want to install server 64 bit in virtualbox. any ideas on how to accomplish it. [19:19] djelliston download the iso. Mount the iso :) [19:19] porter1: No reason to. I just set the resolution in xorg.conf and it works perfect [19:19] Technocrat: you dont know your ip?^^ [19:19] firecrotch: Can I see a pastebin of your xorg.conf? [19:20] Uhm... Hello guys [19:20] Can someone help me?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [19:20] IMRANH: whats your question? [19:20] firecrotch, that's great, but you're missing out on a lot of goodies ;) [19:20] edbian: Sure, give me a minute [19:20] I downloaded a game a linux game without a extension [19:20] fire, so, automatically, when you start desktop, you don't get overscan , right? you don't get a black border around the desktop [19:20] And its not on the Apt installer thing [19:20] So how do i install it? [19:20] fire, what model are these hdtvs? they are 720p, right? [19:20] firecrotch: Did you simply add a resolution to it and that resolution became available in the "display" GUI ? [19:20] IMRANH, what's the extension? [19:20] masquerade: I know my private ip or NAT ip but I am not able to get Public or PPP ip from my system [19:21] didn't have one 0.o [19:21] masquerade: that from terminal or console [19:21] name? [19:21] IMRANH: What game are you trying to install? [19:21] IMRANH, is it already a bin file? make it executable and ./filename [19:21] Technocrat: boot into windows and find it... problem solved! [19:21] spO: They're Dynex 26inch 720p LCDs [19:21] Google Graal Online. [19:21] its a 2d online zelda type game. [19:21] Play it on Windows all the time :o [19:21] edbian: I add the mode in xorg.conf and it just works :) [19:21] bucky: but since I have started using ubuntu I left windows [19:21] Technocrat: /whois Technocrat [19:21] moreover its on other system [19:22] !enter [19:22] Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!

Please pastebin ASAP! :) [19:22] Technocrat: /whois Technocrat <- what does that say [19:22] It didnt start as a BIN, I renamed it as such because there was no extension when downloaded [19:22] pici, How to calculate Peak Cells Rate? === nico_ is now known as tubingen [19:22] IMRANH, it's a binary. Just run it [19:22] Alvinware: 1) How is that ubuntu related 2) I have no idea what that even means [19:22] IMRANH: Not all files need an extension like in windows. Linux is smart enough to figure out. In fact, most files don't have extensions at all! [19:22] IMRANH, it is a bin, i'm looking at it now. make it executable and ./graal4setup [19:23] edbian: it's pretty boring but here it is: http://pastebin.com/m99caace [19:23] is there a newer file than THIS: ubuntustudio-9.04-alternate-i386.iso.torrent 23-Apr-2009 10:14 52K Alternate install DVD for PC (Intel x86) [19:23] evening all [19:23] I think an upgrade broke compatibility with my VIA Chrome video driver [19:23] Pici, It's a network setting in a router, either you uses win/linx also related.

[19:23] Technocrat, hey [19:23] Alvinware: ##networking would be a more on-topic place to ask that. [19:24] IMRANH, you could right click it and add it there, then double click the file [19:24] Technocrat, good to see you on [19:24] firecrotch: Thank you! not boring for me! You wouldn't believe how many people come here with the problem: "My monitor supports X by Y but all I can get is A by B!!!"

[19:24] firecrotch: So you added that to your xorg.conf and rebooted and it used that resolution automatically? What is listed in the "Display" GUI ? [19:24] so right click and do what? [19:25] @technocrat, i found it! [19:25] IMRANH, right click, properties, permissions [19:25] bucky: I am not able to PM you [19:25] edbian: here's one that I use on a TV that is an RCA where the computer incorrectly reads the information from the TV: http://pastebin.com/m2b16d95e [19:25] Chessguy: You can either repartition (and grow your swap) or create a swap file [19:25] question about ndiswrapper if someone's got experience. 'modeprobe ndiswrapper' comes back with: FATAL: Module ndiswrapper not found. I thought it was installed by default? [19:25] ok [19:25] IMRANH, make sure execute is checked [19:25] anyway to put grub loader on a usb? [19:25] thanks bikedog1_ [19:25] Crap. [19:25] bikedog1_: however that partially solves my issue [19:25] firecrotch: Awesome! Thanks again [19:25] jiohdi, why not? Anything's possible :) [19:25] !grub | jiohdi [19:25] jiohdi: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows?

[19:26] IMRANH: you can, but it will be gone at reboot [19:26] * porter1 looks inquisitively at edbian [19:26] Makes sense. [19:26] So you added that to your xorg.conf and rebooted and it used that resolution automatically? What is listed in the "Display" GUI ? [19:26] but every time i try to ./ it it says permission denied [19:26] evilbug, it technically is... [19:27] evilbug, but it won't replace your current firefox [19:27] and when i right click it says "read and write" [19:27] porter1: ah. so i have to uninstall this one and reinstall for the new version. [19:27] IMRANH: you have to set it executable [19:27] IMRANH: read and write (but not execute) It's a check box at the bottom ;) [19:27] edbian: My test system here has 1360x768, 1024x768, 832x624, 640x480, and 720x400 listed [19:27] evilbug.

[19:27] firecrotch: Did it automatically boot up to 1360 when you rebooted after editing xorg.conf? [19:28] evilbug, I believe it's just the minefield version [19:28] edbian: Yes, I just rebooted and it displays at the resolution... actually it was always that resolution by default [19:28] Ahhh i got it [19:28] I had to do the chmod thing u said :) [19:28] Capricorn^80: Run whatever command created that error again but as root (sudo or gksu) [19:28] Yay! [19:28] edbian: how do i specify the SWAP space when i repartition? [19:28] porter1: alright. [19:28] edbian: I only have it in my xorg because most of the computers have at least a 50 foot cable to them out in the field [19:28] Now just to get wifi and file manager working on my 8.10 Xubuntu on the PS3 [19:28] Thanks for your help guys :0 [19:28] Chessguy: Do you have gparted installed?

[19:33] Alvinware: maybe you should find a native IRC network to ask on [19:33] Alvinware is asking for a ban [19:33] lol, yeah, lol. [19:34] IMRANH: It sounds like the program crashed and Ubuntu is trying to submit an error report (but failing) [19:34] IMRANH, I believe apport is trying to report a crash an [19:34] :( [19:34] IMRANH, did ytou type it in the terminal? [19:34] type what? [19:34] Hi [19:34] I installed it fine [19:34] stupid guy, a little dislike, ban, ban, abn. [19:34] IMRANH, the command to open the installer?

[19:37] IMRANH: There is a learning curve. Don't get discouraged :) [19:37] Yeah. [19:37] IMRANH, sorry, but the developers of Graal don't know how to distribute software [19:37] hello I'm new to IRC so I'm not sure if I'm in the right place but can I ask a question about installing Xubuntu in here? [19:37] :) [19:37] metalf8801: You're in the perfect place! [19:37] lol @ porter. [19:37] thank you :) [19:37] thats fine was just hoping [19:38] I am only discouraged by the fact my dad wont let me install ubuntu onto pc [19:38] IMRANH, you might be missing a library, or you might have the wrong architecture [19:38] so i have to use live cd which doesnt save mah stuff :( [19:38] Hi, since today I'm getting false rejection using spamhaus & postfix (rejection without valid reason), did you notice it too ? [19:38] I'm trying to trackdown why I'm not ending up with an entry for /dev/eth0 when I create a new Jaunty instance using debootstrap. It looks like the kernel is aware of the ethernet interface, but no /dev/eth0 [19:38] I've been using Ubuntu sins 7.04 and I really like it so I'm trying to install it on a friends laptop (I've install Ubuntu several times) but when I get to set 5 of 6 "Prepare disk space" I don't see an option to resize the windows XP NTFS partition and it won't let me do it manually ether and there is more then enough free space. I was hoping someone could suggest something that I could try next [19:38] IMRANH, maybe you could get another hard drive to put it on? [19:38] !livepersist [19:38] Sorry, I don't know anything about livepersist [19:39] Probably not... [19:39] What about a USB Drive :0 [19:39] if I have a server w/ 16GB of ram is swap necessary?

I have installed rt73 but stuck now [19:39] Wait mines only 1gb. [19:39] edbian: just because you can't get 1900x1200 out of your crappy ati card doesn't constitute epic fail [19:39] So with the 700 mb for ubuntu [19:39] ajt: Unless you plan to hibernate, you probably don;t.

[19:40] ajt: Then you don't need to worry about swap. [19:40] How slow would it be to boot Ubuntu from a 2GB usb card trhough a crappy card reader? [19:41] Would it be really slow or would it not work since I'm using a card reader? [19:41] IMRANH, not too bad. [19:41] Hi guys! I need a help with OpenLDAP.... does anyone know it? could him help me please? [19:41] IMRANH: if the card reader is usb 1.1, it will be very slow [19:41] hello my name is carla je suis perdue dou you speack french ?? [19:41] IMRANH: it depends on your computer and whether or not it can boot from the card reader [19:41] bucky: OO! I was asking firecrotch about xorg.conf files because so many people come here needing help with that. I wanted to learn how to help them better. :) My monitor only supports 1280 x 1024 (epic fail) [19:41] !ask | nannes [19:41] nannes: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily).

Is a 2.0 USB Card reader with a tested speed of about 25x good enough? [19:45] edbian: when I use the last option "Specify partitions manually" I still can't resize the partition [19:45] IMRANH, yes [19:45] IMRANH, probably good enough. [19:45] Does Ubuntu come with HOWTOs ? [19:45] icarus: I was j/k about unplugging the computer form the network :) [19:45] IMRANH: if it behaves like a normal usb mass storage (class 8) device and if the card inserted is big enough, yes [19:45] jwfoxjr, i know [19:45] metalf8801: Is there a little orange triangle sign indicating errors on the hard drive? [19:45] diddy: It comes with access to Google, and I'm sure you don't need a HOWTO for that one. [19:46] diddy: Ubuntu Community Documentation :) Google it [19:46] gartral: hum okay, I'll try that but I'm afraid I'd do it like on a Mac, where some CDs dont work [19:46] EAS, k, i see the quiet option, but what are your thoughs on how i can be useful? [19:46] 2 GB big enough? [19:46] icarus, lol, I thought you were serious :P [19:46] edbian: I'll give it a look thanks [19:46] Hope so because it doesnt support SD HC lol :( [19:46] diddy: http://help.ubuntu.com [19:46] hi all [19:46] jwfoxjr, i personality found it quite amusing :) [19:46] IMRANH: 2 gb is not enough for the default desktop install [19:46] metalf8801: run a disk check from windows for the partition. if the partition is unclean or the partition table damaged you won't be able to resize it [19:47] norg_, that is not the point. I just read in some older book that there are HOWTOs somewhere under the /usr tree. It is not an Ubuntu book, though. [19:47] Craaap.

[19:48] guys i have a problem with ubuntu live cd, the graphic card is ati radeon xpress 200 and xorg doesn't put the screen to the monitor, but instead of that it's showing (i think so) the screen on the tv... any idea how can i force tthe graphic card to use the lcd display ? [19:48] It is like excel I think [19:48] where can i contact ubuntu people who updated DNS binaries/libs few days ago ?, they broke something... [19:48] IMRANH, possibly :) [19:48] And ubuntu only loaded up if I I.E. Held F5 when it booted or something? [19:48] IMRANH: Depends on dad's skill level, and the OS he uses. [19:48] buttons840: grep for the path to the file you are interested in. check the return code from grep [19:48] edbian: there is an orange sine that says "this will delete Microsoft Windows XP Professional and install Xubuntu 9.04." [19:48] Is firefox 3.5 shiretoko or is there a way to have it say firefox instead of shiretoko? [19:48] Dad's skill level is higher than average.... He does Access n stuff for his work lol. [19:48] ok, why are these O'Reilly books so vague when it comes to rndc and TSIG updates? [19:48] !ff35 [19:48] Firefox 3.5 Final is available for Jaunty by installing the package firefox-3.5 and firefox-3.5-gnome-support | FF3.5 is referred to as Shiretoko on your UI, see http://is.gd/1reB3 for an explanation | Hardy & Intrepid: http://is.gd/1jkNY [19:48] !shiretoko | ProfOak [19:48] ProfOak: FF3.5 is referred to as Shiretoko on your UI, see http://is.gd/1reB3 for an explanation [19:49] ProfOak, it's the dev version I believe, not the full release [19:49] IMRANH, you have a lot of porn you want to hide dont you [19:49] metalf8801: That you don't want to do. [19:49] Nah. [19:49] IMRANH, u can use live version on that SD card with persistent changes [19:49] * zargonovski is away: Gone away for now [19:49] EAS, grep the output of lsof? that options takes 5 seconds or more, hardly a reasonable solution for a simple task like checking a specific file to see if it's being accessed by anything else [19:49] Persistent changes meaning every time i boot up I have to reinstall? [19:49] Since I'm not gonna be able to pay a fixed price for electricity anymore I'll have to watch my energy consumption. That is why I'm thinking about connecting my twin 19" lcds, my 32" tv and my video projector to one ubuntu machine with two dual dvi nvidia sli cards. I know it should work .. but is it hard to setup? I don't want to spend a week each time I reinstall my system... [19:49] edbian: no I don't [19:49] it is possible how big is you drive [19:49] button840, fuser -v /path/to/file ? [19:49] metalf8801: In manual it should list the partitions (/dev/sda1 /dev/sda2, etc etc) Are there any icons on any of those rows? Do you see what I'm talking about? [19:49] So just wait for 9.10 for ffox 3.5 then? [19:50] hi there ! [19:50] ProfOak, I would [19:50] ProfOak, actually, I am [19:50] porter1: Alright, thanks [19:50] !!ff3.5 [19:50] Firefox 3.5 Final is available for Jaunty by installing the package firefox-3.5 and firefox-3.5-gnome-support | FF3.5 is referred to as Shiretoko on your UI, see http://is.gd/1reB3 for an explanation | Hardy & Intrepid: http://is.gd/1jkNY === phlegx_systems is now known as adac [19:50] You know what sucks? I have a 4 gb Mini sd card w/ a normal sd card adapter [19:50] how could i be able to install a previous version of python-psycopg2 to be compatible with python 2.4 ? [19:50] but the card reader I have doesnt support over 2 gb X_X [19:50] :o [19:51] * zargonovski is back. [19:51] buttons840: then you'll have to find another way to do it. Also, work on your communications skills. Scolding me for an unsuitable solution when you haven't specified your full requirements isn't helpful. [19:51] IMRANH: No SDHC support, eh? [19:51] edbian: the last time few times I installed Ubuntu it gave the option to resize the partition that was already there but its not doing that now at lest not on this laptop and I tried a different disc and I check the disc for errors but I'm still getting the same options [19:51] ubottu, you have caught my interest, will the upgrade came as a update? [19:51] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [19:51] Nope. And my mini sd reader broke a couple days ago so the only way I can use it [19:51] alecs, it will be pretty difficult I believe [19:51] Is to steal my dads mp3 player and use that :( [19:51] And thats not a good idea if I wanna use Ubuntu lol. [19:52] IMRANH, your dad seems pretty greedy [19:52] edbian: are you talking about a chkdsk /F [19:52] :) [19:52] porter1: why? i need python 2.4 support in my psycopg package ... but the current version supports only 2.5 and 2.6 [19:52] No... You dont know the story. He used to have a thing on my PC called "Naomi" that automatically shuts off internet browsers if it thinks it has anything to do with porn or hacking. [19:53] metalf8801: I suspect that the hdd has corrupt files or some other type of errors in the NTFS partition(s). chkdsk /F is the utility in windows to fix them. Try running it and then go back to the install again. Does it say why you cannot resize / alter those partitions? [19:53] I ended up hacking that crap up and uninstalling it. [19:53] IMRANH, how about Virtualbox or VmWare ? [19:53] alecs, because a LOT of programs rely on the new python installed. [19:53] Just one more app to workout how to get running and I will free from windows!!!! [19:53] What are those? :D [19:54] Hi, I have just moved from gentoo, and struggling with some of the differences. What is the ubuntu/debian equivalent of rc-status? [19:54] MarkG: What does rc-status do? [19:54] IMRANH, of course! virtualize ubuntu in virtualbox [19:54] edbian: no it doesn't say anything really it just won't let me do it [19:54] IMRANH, it is a live cd that runs in a windows [19:54] is there a way to convert .suit files to .ttf in linux? [19:54] 0.o OF COURSE! wah wah.. .what? [19:54] icarus, not quite [19:54] edbian: the option is just missing [19:54] But wont that be 2 Os running at once [19:54] shows you what services are running, and what runlevel they are configured to start in. [19:54] fosa: maybe with fontforge? I'm gues guessing. [19:55] IMRANH, yeah :o [19:55] porter1, i ment to say like a live cd [19:55] Hence totally killing my processing speed and what not making it slug speed? [19:55] can anyone help with a missing eth0 device that seems to be detected by the kernel? [19:55] icarus, that' what I was assuming [19:55] My PC already sucks that why I wanted Ubuntu. It is definately faster than windows. [19:55] metalf8801: Try the chkdsk /F command. It couldn't hurt [19:56] But IDK my dad doesnt know I have ubuntu [19:56] So when hes home i cant use it [19:56] with m$ my pc crashed and rebooted endlessly...

[21:08] can anyone recommend a good video edit software like Windows Movie Maker? [21:09] bastidrazor: well the main problem i am having is that i can't see a flash chat window i am trying to load.so i wanted to see what flash i installed [21:09] one really does learn allot just by sitting idle are reading here. good job (and bless your hearts!) to all those that are helping. =) [21:09] datta, the command for it is just epiphany-browser [21:09] ikonia: 'admin' sounds typical to VM apps / servers [21:10] ohir: possibly, hence why asking the person who build the server maybe wise [21:10] arleslie, I use Pitive video editor. [21:10] you can try that [21:10] ikonia: heh, 'cos this person is asleep now ?;) [21:10] porter1 yeah now it showed up, i just changed the application properties to epiphany-browser from epiphany-browser%nh [21:10] datta, cool [21:10] Cyrus25801, in firefox you could type about:plugins in the address bar and it will tell you what firefox is using [21:11] is there any way to start mysql in a debug mode and capture the output [21:11] ? [21:11] Ill refrase myself, Is there anyway to have a lancher change xorg.conf for one sertain application, to then later switch back when exiting the application. ? [21:12] !gl [21:12] Sorry, I don't know anything about gl [21:12] meteor``, I've looked at it but it doesn't seem to like mp3 files [21:13] benjoldersma, I don't believe so [21:13] bastidrazor: the following is installed: application/x-shockwave-flash Adobe Flash movie swf application/futuresplash FutureSplash movie [21:13] beefheart, no. xorg.conf applies to the entire x server [21:13] bastidrazor: any idea why the flash page loads bt show nothing [21:14] porter1, thanks, I foudn some helpful logs in /var/lib/HOST.err [21:14] benjoldersma, no problem, good luck. [21:14] porter1, thats no problem for me. I have to edit the conf every time im launcing the app in either case [21:14] O.o Russian R&B [21:14] Cyrus25801: did you install flash with firefox open and without closing ff and reopening it? [21:14] Cyrus25801, not really if other flash pages work for you. some sites require IE only browsers. i've run into that in the past [21:14] porter1, which is why i ask, because its a hazzle [21:15] hey, how do I find out what timezone setting I have? (8.04 server)???? [21:15] beefheart: can you explain your situation again? [21:15] bucky: i have closed it and restarted my pc...but nothing [21:15] tzselect let's me choose it, but won't tell me what it currently IS. [21:15] Hello. I have a question: I have a dual monitor setup with twinview, I have allso installed the game quakewars (linux client), And i am wondering if there is any option i can add to my launcher that will turn monitor to "TwinView" "0" instead of "1". The reason i ask is because i have to turn it off everytime i want to play. [21:15] bastidrazor: maybe it is the IE thing [21:15] firecrotch, read above === meteor`` is now known as CultureShock [21:15] NickRiviera, type date === art is now known as szpec [21:16] arand: rechecked the filters, everything fine [21:16] Cyrus25801, that is a possibility. Firefox has a user agent switcher that can fool most sites. [21:16] benjoldersma: this is a bug and i haven't found a solution.. try this at the bottom of the page http://forum.slicehost.com/comments.php?DiscussionID=3422 [21:16] bastidrazor: how do i get that [21:16] bastid_razor: hmmmm.... it says BRT, but time is messed up. [21:16] bucky, thanks! i'll give it a go [21:17] NickRiviera, dpkg-reconfigure tzdata will allow you to set time/date/zone [21:17] beefheart: You might be able to do it with xrandr [21:17] Cyrus25801, add-ons for firefox search for user agent switcher [21:18] firecrotch, do you have a link to a guide ? I am unfamilliar with xandr [21:18] Cyrus25801: so if you just do "apt-cache show vlc", does that show the package info alright? [21:18] benjoldersma: and if that doesn't work maybe try the new debs at http://www.dotdeb.org/ [21:18] bastid_razor: I think it is set right. But there must be something else.. some clients are complaining that frameworks report incorrect time, EVEN THOUGH they have set the framework time offset correctly. [21:18] beefheart: http://morgancollett.wordpress.com/2008/11/25/nvidia-twinview-and-xrandr/ that's what I found [21:19] NickRiviera, i know how to set it, my knowledge doesn't go much farther than that. sorry [21:19] firecrotch, Thanks for your reply. Lets hope the future makes you king of the world. thanks again [21:19] what is £12.80 is USD? === tonii_ is now known as tonii [21:19] sambagirl: xe.com [21:19] bastidrazor: how about 'locale'??? do you know anything about that? google didn't help... [21:19] arand: it show me info....allot of it [21:19] bastidrazor: thnx will try that [21:20] i once had a symbol in my upper taskbar too kill/crash applications...where do i find it? [21:20] what is this denomination? uk? eu? £12.80 french? [21:20] Cyrus25801: Yea, so then it's just the search in synaptic that's wonko... [21:20] italian? [21:20] is there a python chanell? [21:20] arand: any idea how to fix it [21:20] sambagirl: pund, UK, most likely [21:21] i am facing a severe problem here..plz help [21:21] Cyrus25801: have not seen the issue before, not a clue, search launchpad if there are any bugs on the issue. [21:21] ok so it computes to like 21.80$ usd [21:21] coolio [21:21] thanks [21:21] arand: launchpad? [21:21] SImple question, how do I stop my hand set static IP from being overwritten/ignored after a reboot? [21:21] Cyrus25801: the ubuntu bug tracker at launchpad.net [21:22] i once had a symbol in my upper taskbar too kill/crash applications...where do i find it? [21:22] NickRiviera, when you type just locale are they all the same settings? [21:22] my synaptic manager is not opening,add/remove is not workin,am not able to install software updates. [21:22] cullen: static ip or static nameserver [21:22] NickRiviera, also most commands have a man page. man locale seems useful [21:22] yes. all en_us.UTF-8 [21:22] danirie: like xkill? [21:22] hmmm! good! [21:22] pepperjack: i think so [21:22] i see this symbol in my compiz manager [21:22] bucky, both [21:23] danirie: you could make a new launcher and just have it run xkill but if you right-click on panel and add applet i bet there is one for that [21:23] danirie, left click a blank space in your panel click add to pannel [21:23] bud does locale influence the way dates are seen by software on my system? [21:23] bastidrazor? [21:23] NickRiviera, i would think so yes, but i can not verify that for sure. [21:24] and add force quit [21:24] thx a lot guys you all saved my life for today;) [21:24] cullen: if your ip gets overwritten you then you still have dhcp in your /etc/network/interfaces [21:24] bastidrazor: good... I'll look further into it... thank you! [21:24] NickRiviera, good luck [21:24] What is the best RSS feed reader for watching notices of usenet servers...preferably something with libnotify and maybe a systray icon that I can click and get like the last 20 updates? is there something like that that runs well on jaunty 64bit? [21:24] ty [21:24] NickRiviera, most apps yes, that's the idea, [21:24] hello we are new on this [21:24] cullen: but isn't that date's responsibility? [21:24] hey guys, i installed ubuntu a few days ago. today i found out that when i insert a disk inside the cdrom, nothing happens, u have any idea, [21:25] people plz help...my synaptic manager is not openin...it appears like a flicker n then disappears.. [21:25] eyalw: any new icon on desktop? [21:25] I mean... the server HAS an internal date, why does it need to compare it to locale, when date already has TimeZone information? I don't get that... :( [21:25] harivittal: open a terminal and type gksudo synaptic what happens?? [21:25] harivittal: try running it from a terminal and see if you get an error message [21:25] !java [21:25] To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository [21:25] ecolitan: nope : / [21:25] eyalw, sudo apt-get restricted extras [21:26] can anyone help me to increase my frames per second for running games under wine ? [21:26] bucky http://paste.ubuntu.com/247473/ [21:26] pepperjack: do you use a rss reader? [21:26] can you browse to the cddrive under 'Computer' ? [21:26] i tried it like tat, but tats not workin. [21:26] icarus: i dont have this pacage, i only have restricted-manager [21:27] drurew: disable desktop effects/compiz? [21:27] its not runnin even frm terminal...no error msgs..it only flickers.. [21:28] Slart_: no compiz [21:28] do it and if it most likely will fix your problem [21:28] Slart_: no compiz or effects [21:29] drurew: then you're probably looking at changing either wine settings or settings in the actual game.. try asking in #winehq and check the application database entry for the game [21:29] cullen: is this for wireless ? [21:29] thanks [21:29] bucky, no this is for a workstation/server [21:29] harivittal: odd...then I don't really know what to try.. [21:29] cullen: is that to say ethernet? [21:29] alo [21:29] pepperjack:i tried with sudo synaptic, gksudo synaptic...its not openin..its only flickering and disapearing [21:29] cullen: here's where I'm confused: time + timezone offset tell the server what time it is where I am. Locale tells the server how I like to see the time (am/pm, 24, etc), which currency I use, how I format my numbers... but it should not change the output time itself. Or am I mistaken??????????? [21:30] we have problem trying to install the skype [21:30] (what time it is and where it is) === mubu is now known as demsum [21:30] cullen: that paste has no network connection in it [21:30] any idea? [21:30] harivittal: try a ps -A see if apt or synaptic is already running [21:30] NickRiviera: you might have daylight savings in locale too [21:30] Slart_: no... it is a 3 hour offset. [21:30] bucky yes, hard wired ethernet [21:31] Slart_: well, at least DST is not my problem... ruled that out already! ;) [21:31] basicly it saysthat we have an e: Type notknown of line 1 in source list/etc/apt.sources list.d/medibuntu [21:31] what does a capital B mean in aptitude search? Broken? [21:31] bucky, yes I know [21:31] the list of sources could not be read [21:31] NickRiviera: hmm.. then I don't really know.. [21:31] what does it mean??? [21:31] Slart_: I'm running out of ideas... [21:31] bucky, but that's what I have after a reboot, comes up every time with DHCP [21:32] cullen: what does ifconfig say [21:33] bucky, ifconfig http://paste.ubuntu.com/247476/ [21:33] any of you fix overscan with ubuntu and hdmi/hdtv ? [21:34] pepperjack:i ran that, no its opened... [21:34] NickRiviera: i have the exact same problem i can fix the time thru the terminal but i reboot and the time is off 3 hours (behind), [21:34] icarus: When i try to install restricted extras through the Add/Remove... i get "Cannot install 'ubuntu-restricted-extras'" [21:35] ctmjr: that is a different problem... I fixed that! [21:35] hi everyone... [21:35] cullen: besides sorting it out in the happy gui dialog boxes in System=>Administration=>Network you could cut to the chase and use the docs https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/serverguide/C/network-configuration.html [21:35] ctmjr: google for 'permanently change ubuntu time setting', and you're on your way. [21:35] ubuntu-br [21:36] hi [21:36] In Ubuntu, how do you disable a single wifi adapter? [21:36] does anyone know how to shutdown "X" server so i can install the latest nividia drivers? [21:36] brb [21:36] !nvidia > Drained [21:36] hey, silly question. Can I install apps on top of an ubuntu livecd? I'm really looking to test wine compatibility with an updated driver, and if the livecd doesn't include wine (i'm sure it won't), i'll have to install it, but i don't really want it to do anything to my existing installation of centos [21:36] Drained, please see my private message [21:36] how do i change prmissions back to what they were? [21:36] i don't even know how the livecd works. ramdisk? just load from cd? :) [21:36] Drained: Ctl-Alt-Backspace lol [21:36] nah bucky they disabled that lol.

[21:57] jorknow: you can configure squid with eBox now... apt-get install ebox-squid [21:57] zleap: if you got more then one same iso, diff comes to mind [21:57] thanks, tryin that now. im too scared of the terminal still [21:57] no idea what im doing [21:57] Hi I'm doing some preparation to install VirtualBox with an XP client. [21:58] ok downloading karmic now :) [21:58] Is it better to repartition my partition and use a partition specially for VirtualBox client? [21:59] zleap: /join #ubuntu+1 [21:59] RealKillaz, for a VM you don't need to do any partition editing .. VM are just files on your box [22:00] hi all, anyone running kernel 2.6.31-5-generic #24 (karmic) ? [22:00] bastidrazor: yup.... that I know, but maybe there is some reason why someone would still do pratition editing [22:00] ive made a long backup command, is it better to keep it as the bash_alias it is or transfer to a sh script? [22:00] RealKillaz, to me it makes no sense to make a partition to host a VM file. [22:00] !karmic | dschulz [22:00] dschulz: Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 2009 - Karmic WILL break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 === ben is now known as Guest87418 [22:01] RealKillaz: Just use the Virtual Box Wizard, it will ask you questions -easy to set up. [22:02] i need to add cups to the startup file on ubuntu, which file should i look for? === ben is now known as Guest53735 [22:02] basically, service cups start or /etc/init.d/cups start [22:02] Probably a lot of people are asking this question, but, for some reason whenever I play any video media, I get no sound. It happens when I play YouTube or my own personal videos. [22:02] ok seems that worked flawlessly thanks Bucky. === iain__ is now known as tinivole [22:03] Drained: np [22:03] DasEi: wrong chennal :) [22:03] Has anyone ever experianced a "screen and input" lockdown after playing full screened games on ubuntu??? [22:03] dschulz: #ubuntu+1 [22:04] not even alt f2 worked, not altctrlbackspace i had to do a shutdown. [22:05] Does anyone know anything about keyrings and encryption in Ubuntu? [22:05] !dontzap | Drained [22:05] Drained: To re-enable the Ctrl+Alt+Backspace combination that restarts your X server, you can install the "dontzap" package and use the command « sudo dontzap --disable ». The combination Alt+SysRq+K can also be used to obtain a similar effect. [22:05] DasEi: but even if i was to re-enable it, input is locked down... after like 5 mins in a full screen game Ie:urban terror. [22:06] Drained: Seen it with H-o-Nevereth, that time it worked out by ctrl+alt+F2 and a simple kill command [22:06] need help with very low sound from ubuntu digital signal [22:06] arand: how do i use the kill command? [22:06] ernz: I use KeePass and TrueCrypt containers but there no whole disk encryption as of yet, I guess. [22:07] Drained: check you /var/log/Xorg.0.log for that error then (note the time of locking maybe) [22:07] alright i will do === flu_ is now known as colloguy [22:07] I have 5 external drives. They have been encrypted using LUKS. I have tweaked fstab to automount and at the moment the key to access the drives is saved to the keyring manager. I know that if someone stole and attempted to access the drives on another computer, they would fail. However, if someone were able to steal the PC AND the drives, would the drives be only be protected by my Ubuntu login? [22:07] bucky, [22:07] Drained: first "ps -A" to get the process number, then "kill -9 ####" (where #### is the process no.) [22:07] And would someone be able to access the keys without loggin into my Ubuntu account - accessing the hard disk as a slave in another PC for example? [22:08] Got an POV NVidia Ion with HDMI/Optical output, but the digital out volume is very low compared to other digital devices like my PS3 etc. Any suggestions? [22:08] arandl: thanks. [22:08] Hi there, where can I find configuration parameters about howmany times a use can attempt to login over SSH before auto disconnect, howmany seconds before the connection times out, etc? [22:08] sven_oostenbrink: Try denyhosts [22:09] ok i'm going to re-run the game too see if it locks up again [22:09] rdx: Eh, that states what hosts are automatically denied acces... Thats not what I need.. [22:09] the text input cursor is black on black backgrounds, how do i make it visible? [22:09] ernz: I don't now how your setup is; to prevent this you would store the keyring on an encrypted parti itself, which you unlock manually at boottime, so there would be no risk, though I never tried to automount crypted systemdrives [22:09] rdx: did you try and turn up the pcm volume in alsamixer? [22:09] anyone running TF2 on wine? [22:10] Has anyone else recently had trouble playing videos? [22:10] ubuntu_giant, why? [22:11] GLW_StartOpenGL() - could not load OpenGL subsystem [22:11] ctmjr: Yup everything is at maximum, but changing the volume has no effect on the digital volume [22:11] Kalisto_: For some reason when I play a video file (on YouTube or in my collection), I get no audio. This only happens for videos. I can play audio files just fine. [22:11] Ububegin, not videos, but cannot open .mov and .swf since the latest updates [22:11] DasEi - Not system drives. TBH it only takes 30 seconds or so to enter the passphrase for each drive. But your idea on saving the keys on another encrypted partition is interesting. That would enable me to use a single password to store all other passwords. As the passphrases are encrypted anyway, perhaps there is a way in ubuntu of setting a master passphrase, stronger than that of the usual admin pass? [22:12] ubuntu_giant, have you tried restarting your browser? [22:12] Why do get that error? when running Urban Terror [22:12] hello fellow ubuntus [22:12] ubuntu_giant, what browser you using? [22:12] Yes. [22:12] sven_oostenbrink: DenyHosts is a Python script that analyzes the sshd server log messages to determine what hosts are attempting to hack into your system. It also determines what user accounts are being targeted. It keeps track of the frequency of attempts from each host. [22:12] Kalisto_: Doesn't matter what browser: I've tried Konqueror, Firefox, and Opera. [22:12] when you say collection as in avi etc from your hdd? [22:12] This occurs in my own video collection, too. [22:13] Yes. [22:13] From my hard drive. [22:13] ernz: that might work, you can choose strong passes for both, account and luks === draz|lab is now known as drazak [22:13] if I have a directory that has many subdirectories, some of which contain .txt files, is there a way to search for a string of text and find out which directory contains the .txt file with said string? [22:13] sven_oostenbrink: /etc/ssh/sshd_config <-- Perhaps LoginGraceTime will help you with login timeout? [22:13] ubuntu_giant, what player are you using? [22:13] yous understand what I mean? [22:13] rdx: ah, correct yes, but Im more looking for where I can configore SSH deamon [22:13] Joshh100: man find [22:13] rdx: oks, let me check [22:14] Kalisto_: I've tried all of them: VLC, Xine, Dragon... [22:14] DasEi: Are you (or anyone else) aware of such a master keyring passphrase facility? [22:14] ernz: but I'd rather crypted the syshd by luks, then install tc, which has nice automounting options, less hassle [22:14] ohir, thank you, does find have a syntax for doing a search like that? [22:14] ubuntu_giant, are you using pulseaudio or alsa? [22:14] Joshh100: man xargs man grep too [22:14] ok [22:14] thank you ohir [22:14] Kalisto_: alsa, but sometimes that fails, so Ubuntu switches to pulseaudio. [22:15] ernz: how much share on the rocketlauncher ? ;-) [22:15] DasEi: I was wanting to avoid encrypting system drive. I've heard horror stories. What is tc? [22:15] Can anyone help me with xchat, i want it to display contents of txt file [22:15] anyone know why i get - [22:15] GLW_StartOpenGL() - could not load OpenGL subsystem [22:15] DasEi: lol. [22:15] ernz: truecrypt, why hoorostories ? [22:15] sven_oostenbrink: Number of retries before connection terminated: http://nixcraft.com/getting-started-tutorials/2909-linux-unix-set-increase-number-failed-login-retries-ssh-client.html [22:15] ubuntu_giant, have you looked at your alsa settings.. [22:16] Yes. [22:16] DasEi: Heard of issue about booting an enc sys drive. And I am avoiding keeping any personal information on the system drive anyways. [22:16] I have everything turned all the way up and all the input devices turned on. [22:16] HI, can someone help me with FREENX? I have installed the Client, the Server and the Node. how do i connect to my own computer for testing? [22:16] Sorry...output devices. :P [22:17] its only on some videos or all? [22:17] ernz: many laptops or otherwise easy reachable/unsafe boxes use encryption, just hash the /boot and be free of someone having fun with you [22:17] All videos. [22:18] DasEi: I'm a bit of a noob. It's taken me 4 hours to encrypt the disks with LUKS and automount properly. [22:18] ubuntu_giant, has it always been like this? [22:18] DasEi: I essentially don't want 'the man' to be able to touch me. [22:18] DasEi: If you catch my drift... [22:18] ernz: use alternate installer, reserve a whole disk if lvm is too tricky [22:18] I have a problem with the sound, can any one give me some hints? [22:18] Question. on a dual boot of ubuntu/vista, can vista read the ubuntu partition? Also, is there a way to make both os's on the same partition? I don't want to do a wubi/virtualbox, as I'd like to be able to game with Vista, but primarily run ubuntu [22:19] computer_, start the client and for server use your hostname.local [22:19] Kalisto_: No, ever since my last upgrade. [22:19] DDOH: what kinda problem do you have? [22:19] ubuntu_giant, hmm ok maybe your missing some codecs? [22:19] ernz: you could have in in that way with very little hassle [22:20] new to ubuntu, installed it, works fine but no sound [22:20] Kalisto_: No, I've installed just about every codec known to man. [22:20] how to check what is going on? [22:20] ubuntu_giant, https://help.ubuntu.com/7.04/musicvideophotos/C/codecs.html [22:20] Kalisto_, is it possible to loose some codecs with update? [22:20] DDOH: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound [22:21] DasEi: I am looking at this: http://kuparinen.org/martti/comp/ubuntu/en/cryptolvm.html Is it along the right lines? [22:21] ernz: sth else for paranioacs is of course internet, where you're better off if sensitive data isn't mounted at all [22:21] DeannaT2, not lose but maybe updated and then broken.. [22:21] hi [22:21] Kalisto_, ah, this is mabe the solution..it works before update [22:22] Hi, just a quick question, is RUTE still the best text for learning the Linux system? [22:22] can anyone help me i have this intel 945 gsm video card in my laptop together with a samsung external monitor in ubuntu 9 and i just cant fix this resolution [22:22] DasEi: Yea, but I want my disks mounted AND porn. [22:22] ernz: is what I told about sysdrive few lines above [22:22] I am loving ubuntu 9.04, but I just had a lock-up and had to hard reboot...what logs can I check to try to figure out the problem? [22:22] do you watch much porn ernz? [22:22] helloguy, dmesg [22:22] edbian: thans, i try to follow the troubleshooting as in the link [22:22] babeuf: installing multiple distros and also a bsd system is best way to learn linux. break stuff then fix it === buddha is now known as Sahdos [22:22] porn is silly, old men don't like it anymore [22:23] Vinceman: No. :| [22:23] !ot [22:23] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [22:23] dotblank: what do I look for?

[22:24] ernz: http://www.truecrypt.org/downloads [22:24] babeuf: that looks pretty thorough ..hmmm RUTE [22:24] DasEi: Is an encrypted system drive accessible by a another PC with passphrase (Say I wanted to recover data from a backup machine) [22:24] I'll try again, I've got a question. On a dual boot of ubuntu/vista, can vista read the ubuntu partition? Also, is there a way to make both os's on the same partition? I don't want to do a wubi/virtualbox, as I'd like to be able to game with Vista, but primarily run ubuntu [22:24] How exactly do I use rc.local. I checked the ubuntuwiki but there are no examples. What do I put inside this file? [22:25] Syron4: PM me! [22:25] uhh, everytime i install the new drivers i get the error telling me that X isn't configured properly and display has shutdown... [22:25] I have it in front of me, is very thorough, would prefer a primer then that, but it's good so far, just I note it's dated 2001, haha [22:25] and i used the hardware drivers in sys>administration [22:25] ernz: yes, but must mount (decrypt) it first, or make a hardcopy (dd) of it [22:25] ok the resoluition for the external monitor is below the resolution that the monitor supports (displays 1330 or something but it can hold to 1600x1000) And compiz wont work together with dektop efects [22:25] DasEi: Sounds good! Thanks for your help. [22:25] babeuf: things haven't changed much since then [22:25] totaleclipse: pastebin your /var/log/Xorg.0.log [22:26] ernz : mind joining ot for a second ?

[22:27] when some fullscreen wine apps crashes they move all my open windows and programs around, more often than not off the screen... they are hard to reach and i usually just close them with kill... but is there a tool or something to prevent this? like move all windows back to the desktop area? [22:28] what size usb drive would i need to install ubuntu and have some space (~1gb) for working on it? [22:28] ubuntu_giant, try this in console as root: /etc/init.d/pulseaudio stop [22:28] totaleclipse: gedit /var/log/Xorg.0.log, copy all to clipboard, go to http://pastebin.com, paste the contents and give me the url in the channel [22:28] ok [22:28] ubuntu_giant, not sure if its pulseaudio so check [22:29] then do /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart [22:29] Kalisto_: * PulseAudio configured for per-user sessions [22:29] ive made a long backup command, is it better to keep it as the bash_alias it is or transfer to a sh script? [22:29] Audio is still going. [22:29] ubuntu_giant, console says that? [22:29] Kalisto_: Yes. [22:30] can you stop pulseaudio? [22:30] sudo apt-get purge pulseaudio [22:30] Can anyone help me with TwinView [22:30] http://pastebin.com/m8246f82 [22:30] C-S-B: I would make it a shell script to make it more portable [22:30] Kalisto_, yes you can [22:30] Kalisto_: I think I'm using Alsa now. [22:30] AE^laptop, thats the last option [22:30] Kalisto_, sorry [22:30] should i choose a 16gb or 8gb? [22:30] it's the best option [22:30] g_ : 16 [22:30] firecrotch: thnx [22:30] yea but hmm... [22:30] to be on the safe side [22:31] ubuntu_giant, restart alsa [22:31] joeyeye i think i got it [22:31] pulseaudio is a disgrace [22:31] check the site [22:31] thanks [22:31] AE^laptop, i agree [22:31] totaleclipse: you don't need help ? [22:31] cant believe why it's included in the first place [22:31] g_: I would say you would want a minimum of 2 gigs, I have it running off an 8 myself with no problems, haven't tried less myself. [22:31] AE^laptop, did you remove pulseaudio?? [22:31] please ... [22:31] <[A2K]_> what should i write to dependencies for my package to require qt4? [22:31] Where can I limit password formation? Iike, paswords should be minimum 8 characters, etc etc? [22:32] have you got the site http://pastebin.com/m8246f82 [22:32] coz: i purged it at least [22:32] AE^laptop, well there is an alternative to purging it [22:32] totaleclipse: what's the native resolution of your monitor ? [22:32] Hi, I am connected to wifi but my firefox say's it's in offline mode, how do i fix this? [22:32] remove? :p [22:32] kunji: oh really? how much space does the base installation take up then? [22:32] g_: with gui etc, about 5gb [22:32] AE^laptop, sudo mv /etc/X11/Xsession.d/70pulseaudio ~/ then open gconf editor maneuver to /apps/gnome_settings_daemon/plugins/sound/active and untick the box then in terminal --- asoundconf unset-pulseaudio [22:33] Okay. I have audio. Thanks. :) [22:33] ok i have 2 moniors . the laptop is 1024x768 and the external is 1330 something [22:33] Kalisto_: Thanks a lot. :) [22:33] how to add the terminal that it automatically start when ubuntu start? [22:33] how to refresh panel? [22:33] coz_: i never use the gui for ubuntu [22:33] ubuntu_giant: how did you do it? [22:33] AE^laptop, then use the terminal for all of that [22:33] linux_guy: I think you have to kill it and restart it. [22:33] Hi, I am connected to wifi but my firefox say's it's in offline mode, how do i fix this? [22:33] AE^laptop: nice, is that with openoffice and all that? i just want a nice base installlation for web dev really. [22:33] ubuntu_giant, what did you do? [22:33] yea, but i figure purging it is enuff [22:34] bucky: I restarted alsa. $]sudo alsa force-reload [22:34] ShawnC: file/work offline [22:34] g_: Base installation for ubuntu is less that a gig isn't it? I forget, my drive isn't with me right now. [22:34] AND i have fixed that before but i disconnected the external monitor and when i connected it back it was resolution S**t [22:34] NeXstaR: Go to System -> Preferences -> Startup Applications [22:34] however, now im having a problem with alsa, it will only work for root in recovery mode it seems [22:34] ubuntu_giant, to save you a lot of trouble just remove pulseaudio like AE^laptop said [22:34] kunji: i'd have thought it would be more t han a gb [22:34] totaleclipse: yes, but the X driver in ubumtu detects the screen at boot... which will be the lappy lcd and most likey restrict you to its supported resolutions [22:35] what does this mean? [22:35] touch the bios?? [22:35] <[A2K]_> how qt 4 package is called in ubuntu?

[22:36] <[A2K]_> i am trying to make deb package for my app [22:37] g_: Sorry, I was thinking of some stripped down versions, you need at least 3 for ubuntu (or it won't let you install) and then you won't have any space for updates, so 4 at the very least, my 8 works fine, this is supposing you don't need to keep a ton of documents around.

[22:43] quellhorst: I don't think you can make top use colors [22:43] np sahdos, and yeah deanna. [22:44] Bucky: i still get "x" not configured properly. [22:44] Kalisto_: (i've got no internet on that machine atm, so have to take it to work to get an internet connection, which kinda sucks, since i cant play with it when i really got time) [22:44] any ideas on a "pen like" device that will work like a pen on a touchpad? [22:44] Slart_.... you "could" but it would be a nasty awk/sed script [22:44] so i have to use restore through "restore" mode or whatever it's called on boot. [22:44] Drained, do you know the name from the flash-thing in synaptic? [22:44] how do i install more packages without knowing what i want to install specifically? [22:44] How does evolution know which encryption key to use when I write an email to a friend? [22:44] hello [22:44] danl: ngnhh.. yes.. nasty indeed =) [22:44] Deanna "micromedia flash" ? [22:44] Sahdos: wacom boards? [22:44] Drained: i saw that.. crap happens when you get away from the packages.. have you googled? [22:44] I was thinking of something with a leather end [22:44] AE^laptop, just use Synaptic packet manager. search for alsa and all installed apps just mark for reinstallation [22:45] !info apt-get > kirli [22:45] AE^laptop: how much are they? [22:45] i will not use gui [22:45] Yeah i had no options, but i did use the packages i used the hardware drivers 180 [22:45] do u know how i live icons only in my bottom desktop ? i use gnome [22:45] i guess you can get one for $100 [22:45] i have created the file on my desktop xorg.conf.external but do not know what to do next [22:45] dunno exact prices [22:45] the file is blank [22:45] I'm trying to install a vnc server on my dedibox, ubuntu 8.04, but I get http://pastebin.com/m18c929ce [22:45] wow, usb drives are so cheap now it'w worth paying the extra $$$ and getting the 16gb version [22:45] AE^laptop: can't afford that. I was thinking like < $5 [22:45] hehe, then i have absolutely no idea what so ever Sahdos [22:46] g_: my 16gb usb drive was like 12 dollars lol. [22:46] i installed gnome on ubuntu and would like to remove some programs like ekiga, gnome-games, etc. when i try it says it will uninstall gnome o.o [22:46] AE^laptop, ok then just do it with apt and reinstall all alsa [22:46] is there any way to change settings in xterm so that the escape codes apps use to display blue, can be forced to display another color? [22:46] okay, good Kalisto_ [22:46] (thats an example) [22:46] AE^laptop: thanks, I'll have to think on it some more. I thought a pencil eraser would work, but it's too smooth. go fig [22:46] im very anti gui if not really, really needed [22:46] I'm actually having some trouble myself, I have an external hard drive that I can access from ubuntu, but not from windows, I think I accidentally deleted the files windows needs to access it (though windows will see it and wants to reformat it). I'm dual booting on my desktop and can't seem to move the files onto the windows partition either (from the ubuntu portion, can't make directories?). I don't have enough space for the [22:46] Drained: you got a GTX280 ? [22:46] hello everyone, i'm wondering if someone can help, i have been config my server and wanted to know it the website is up or not, it works on the internat network but need to check from outside, here is the link, can someone plese tell me if it's working..thanks unixbocx.kicks-ass.net [22:46] AE^laptop, not having internet for your box sucks ;) why dont you hook it up? [22:46] No it's a Geforce 8600 GTS [22:47] kunji: what filesystem is it? [22:47] unixbocx.kicks-ass.net works [22:47] i'm trying to install vnc4server and I get some sort of acpid error, some one help plz, here's the output - http://pastebin.com/m8f9ff19 [22:47] unixbocx, a good way to test: http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/ [22:47] kunji: you didnt reformat that external in ubuntu, did you? [22:47] AE^laptop: NTSF [22:47] well i wonder what i was doing wrong before [22:47] dani: try acpid --configure [22:48] Kalisto_: tell me about it... i cant tho, i only have mobile broadband here, and it isnt supported on that box, no gui and all... plus i dunno how to fix it in kde either [22:48] gartal: nope, the files were all placed on there with windows and are all still there, never reformatted. [22:48] Drained unrecognized option --configure [22:48] hmm. idk then i just read off what it said on the output. [22:48] cool thanks guys [22:48] Drained: this gets interesting around sudo ln -s /usr/src/NVIDIA-Linux-185.18.pkg.run /usr/src/nvidia-driver [22:48] okay, problem isn't the input device, I could use my finger I think. anyone have any ideas how to lock the left click down? [22:48] Drained: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1125400 [22:49] AE^laptop, id go with gnome. i think its way way nicer. i used to use kde until i tried gnome. [22:49] hey guys, what happens after the support period for 9.04, does it just stop working [22:49] Hi i have installed an application on ubuntu and i can see it is not up (the client can't find the server). How could I check if the sever component of the application is up and running. [22:49] bucky: i'm not using that driver anymore i gave up on it. i went with the "hardware drivers" and still got that X error. [22:49] CopyWriter, no, you just no longer can receive support for it [22:49] CopyWriter, your computer will catch fire and self destruct [22:49] * CopyWriter gasps [22:49] :) [22:49] i used gdm until i found kdm :) for me, i like that it gives you the users added, and clickable, just having to put in the password... [22:49] CopyWriter: yes a worm crawls in there and turns it off.. no just kidding... you'll upgrade to Karmic by then [22:49] and I think the packages are no longer maintained [22:49] ubuntu rules [22:49] Drained, you talking about Nvidia driver for 8600GTS? [22:50] * TriMe *Shakes HEad [22:50] but i rarely use kde [22:50] !eol | CopyWriter [22:50] CopyWriter: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates for an Ubuntu release stop. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases [22:50] and unix version for that matter [22:50] since apache starts on boot and loads up drupal with it, I should be able to see it in 'top', but I cannot [22:50] kalisto: yes the 180 driver. [22:50] Does anyone use TwinView [22:50] Drained, you have issues with it? [22:50] how many resources is apache taking up ? [22:50] karmic is going to be tite [22:50] :) [22:50] i'm on 173 but that doesn't want to work with openGL [22:50] so it automatically updates to karmic [22:50] or do i do that manually [22:50] Drained: tried 185? [22:50] 180 wont install i get the "x server isn't configured properly display terminated" [22:50] yeah 185 does it too. [22:50] Drained, ok what you want is either 185 or 190 Beta [22:51] oh, there's a 190 now? [22:51] Drained, i can walk you through it. its quite simple [22:51] 190 is beta. [22:51] Hi All, does anyone have any recommendations for integrated graphics for a linux HTPC? I'm looking at Intel G45, Ati 780G or Nvidia 8300 as options [22:51] kalisto_: that'd be great lol, i can't even run simple games because openGL isn't working. [22:51] 185 was beta when i tried it :) [22:51] CopyWriter: if you didn't turn off the messages you will be informed when the upgrade is ready for you [22:51] Nvidia driver download: http://www.nvidia.com/Download/Find.aspx?lang=en-us [22:51] perfect [22:51] AE^laptop, beta to ubuntu but not the rest of the linux world :D [22:51] thanks guys [22:51] Hi how could i see if an application is up and running? any help [22:52] debo, console: top [22:52] on "recommended/beta" what should i select. [22:52] anyways, thank you for your ideas Kalisto_, i will see if i can remember them tomorrow at work hehe, to sum up, remove alsa and re-install? [22:52] or htop which is MUCH better [22:52] I don't get it [22:52] AE^laptop, yea should be easy. [22:52] What will this command do route add 224.0.0.0 netmask 240.0.0.0 dev eth0 [22:52] CopyWriter: have a look at system/adminstration/softwaresources - updates [22:52] hey is there a command line chat room for linux [22:52] thanks guys, htop was what i wanted. too bad there isn't an htop on osx [22:52] How does evolution know which encryption key to use when I write an email to a friend? [22:53] yeah, i can probably remember that hehe... alsa is giving me a serious headache atm [22:53] kinda limited without internet too [22:53] unixbocx: You can use irssi or other CLI IRC clients. [22:53] AE^laptop, yea with internet you would have fixed it in 2 min. [22:53] mmhm.. sigh [22:53] Kalisto, what is the console top, sorry iam new to ubuntu [22:53] kalisto_ about 40 seconds remaining [22:53] Drained, sorry select the 185 [22:53] unixbocx: yeah, don't remember what it's called though. It should be in synaptic package manager. [22:54] unixbocx: let me see [22:54] unixbocx: irssi [22:54] debo, ok click Applications then Accessories then Terminal. in terminal type top [22:54] unixbocx: epic4 [22:54] hey that downforeveryoneorjustme.com is a great idea.. wish i know about that a week ago [22:55] ok kalisto_ it finished [22:55] debo, or go to System -> Administration -> System Monitor [22:55] Drained, ok sudo and copy / mv the nvidia file to /root/ [22:55] * syntax learned something new [22:55] can anyone help me with this resolution in a 945 intel video card in ubuntu 9/? [22:56] Greetings, I was wondering if anyone here thinks they can help me with a sound issue. ALSA claims to support my sound chipset (CMI 8770) and the hardware is recognized in lspci, but alsa reports no sound card found. [22:56] hi all. my ubuntu 9.04 install freezes just as the loading bar starts. i removed "quiet" and changed "splash" to "nosplash" on the boot line, and now i can see that the process stops at "Mounting root filesystem", specifically at the line "tulip 0000:00:0c.0: PCI INT A -> Link[LINKA] -> GS 11 (level, low) -> IRQ 11". any suggestions? === Cuddles is now known as Fluffles [22:56] kalisto is root /home/ or /useraccount/ [22:56] Anyone with knowledge about ALSA and HDMI? [22:56] root is /root/ [22:56] its where /etc /bin are located [22:57] wine, playonlinux, virtualbox to play windows games on linux ....? [22:57] gausie: just a guess: try the acpi=off boot option [22:57] ok, i don't know how to move files with the terminal.. [22:57] oh wait you dont have a root dir could that be? [22:57] arand: will do, thanks for the reply [22:57] gausie: are you certain that the CD is good? [22:57] Drained, newinstall from flahsplugin nonfree doesn't work. cpu 100% and all is forzen [22:57] i used it the other day [22:57] no no i do have it. [22:57] but i can write a new one if acpi=off doesnt help [22:57] Kalisto_: /root isn't the root directory, it's the home directory of the root user [22:57] DeannaT2: i don't know then...... [22:57] i'm asorbing this like a sponge [22:57] Kalisto_: / is the actual root directory [22:57] do you guys think you could help my fix my flash player? I don't think I have the right files installed and I'm not sure which ones to uninstall / install in Synaptic [22:58] is anyone here using Chrome/Chromium? [22:58] Drained, me to.... [22:58] lstarnes, it shows up in / for me [22:58] gausie: then it *should* be ok I guess :-) [22:58] can someone recommend me a free 2d game engine which is easy to use? i need a basic frame work with no hassle. [22:58] Dalisto_: i don't know how to move files with the terminal lol [22:58] Nevermind, I can copy, just had to do it with sudo through command line [22:58] agent_j: Battle for Wesnoth is 2d and open source [22:58] Drained, oh now i understand what you mean with root home.... [22:59] agent_j: can't say how easy it is to use, though, sorry [22:59] ok well root user home dir. copy it there [22:59] lol, i moved them to /root and i can't access the [22:59] them/ [22:59] Drained, do this: su [22:59] so anyone know the link to the ubuntu repository so I can read the source code for Battle for Wesnoth? [22:59] Password: [22:59] su: Authentication failure [23:00] Drained: sudo -i [23:00] Sahdos, use apt-get source, or use the wesnoth site [23:00] !sudo | Drained, Kalisto_ [23:00] Drained, Kalisto_: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) [23:00] Drained, thats what i hate about ubuntu.. ok do this: sudo su [23:00] agent_j: thank you [23:00] Kalisto_: sudo -i is preferred over sudo su [23:00] Sahdos: packages.ubuntu.com should have a source package to download [23:00] Well i was able to move it into /root [23:00] Slart_: thank you [23:00] i just can't Access it with Gnome [23:00] why does ubuntu do that and not give you a root user you can log into by default? [23:00] Kalisto_: because that is insecure [23:00] !root | Kalisto_ [23:00] Kalisto_: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [23:01] Slart_, yes, but packages.ubuntu.com means you have to download each individual package doesn't it? [23:01] agent_j: when I use apt-get source wesnoth where is the source code saved? [23:01] !multicasting [23:01] hm anyone who can help with sound problems?? [23:01] Sorry, I don't know anything about multicasting [23:01] lstarnes, its insecure if your a monkey [23:01] Sahdos: look in the current directory [23:01] Kalisto_: a root password isn't needed.. ubuntu is designed to use sudo instead.. there are several advantages [23:01] hrm, I'm having a bit of trouble with wifi. I have /etc/netowrk/interfaces configured for an ad-hoc network, but I am trying to reconfigure wlan0 for a managed network [23:01] Kalisto_: well it's there i can i can view it with the termianl let's move on lol. [23:01] Slart_, it only slows me down [23:01] Has anyone here used TriX (lan chat - vypress clone)? [23:01] Kalisto_: You can still log into a root account. [23:02] Kalisto_: cracking into the root account on a system where the root account has a password and is unlocked is much easier than cracking into one with a locked root account [23:02] Drained, ok make it executable. so sudo u+x [23:02] agent_j: wesnoth source is 248MB? That doesn't seem right, that's not easy [23:02] yo fellow ubuntus, Im grepping for money right now!! [23:02] I want to cleqar wlan0 settings completely, so that I can connect to the managed network [23:02] lstarnes how so? [23:02] u+x not found [23:02] Sahdos: no that's about right. the binary is smaller for some reason. remember, that's all the game data too. [23:02] sudo chmod u+x [23:02] sorry [23:03] sudo chmod u+x NvidiaFile [23:03] Kalisto_: if you ask me the fault isn't with ubuntu ;) [23:03] chmod: missing operand after `u+x' [23:03] OH [23:03] Ok [23:03] Sahdos: maybe get the svn or cvs dump for it, that should be source only. [23:03] Kalisto_: in that case, if you can guess the password, you can gain root access [23:03] alright kalisto did that. [23:03] arand: acpi=off seems to have worked! [23:03] agent_j: it's downloading two things, a tar and a dsc [23:03] guntbert: acpi=off did the job [23:03] lstarnes: guess the root password? [23:03] Slart_: yes [23:04] agent_j: now I'm curious what apt-get source is actually getting :) [23:04] gausie: nice :-) [23:04] i have a mac g3 233 with 160meg ram 4gig hd, was wondering if ubuntu would run ok on this [23:04] lstarnes: there isn't one.. nothing to guess [23:04] Drained, ok here comes the tricky bit. write this down cause youll have to close your X gnome/kde [23:04] Sahdos: yep, you get all of the packaging nonsense with it aswell. all the changelog and .tar.gz.diff and .tar.gz.orig [23:04] sure ive got a pen [23:04] lstarnes: ah.. nevermind.. didn't read the entire conversation.. [23:04] Anyone use TwinView? [23:04] lstarnes: I'll go sit in the corner =) [23:04] Kalisto_: also, most attackers expect logging in as root to be able to work. locking root means that the attacker has to figure out which accounts exist and which ones have sudo access, thus making it more difficult for a potential attacker [23:05] Kalisto_: plus sudo logs its usage [23:05] locking down root is stupid, period. [23:05] agent_j: I'll have to check it out [23:05] Just `sudo su` and quit complaining. ;) [23:05] Drained, write this down: Press Ctrl-AlT-F1 -> log into your user -> kill your X session by typing in: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm then install the driver by sudo /root/nvidiaFile and follow directions. say yes to everything. then restart your computer. [23:06] Drained: if it were stupid, a major linux distributin would not have done it [23:06] sudo su doesn't let u access files with file manager. [23:06] *distribution [23:06] Drained: gksudo nautilus [23:06] baba_b00ie: can't say much to the hardware, try macversion, 4 gig isn't big, maybe try to get rid of unneeded packages [23:06] gausie: Ok, do mind though, with acpi off, some things might not work (like battery status e.g.) but it's still a decent tradeoff for getting it to work at all. [23:06] Drained: and you think there are no other ways to run a file manager as root? [23:06] Drained: sudo -s [23:06] k kalisto_ i'll try that now [23:06] How do you run a file manager as root? [23:06] gksu ? [23:06] !gksudo [23:06] If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [23:06] bucky: -i, not -s === Julian-de is now known as Julian-off [23:07] bucky: that should normally be sudo -i [23:07] lstarnes: what is the difference between gksudo and sudo? [23:07] Slart_, thanks [23:07] Sahdos: none on ubuntu [23:07] first thing i do when i install ubuntu is sudo su ;) [23:07] sudo -s gives me a root prompt [23:07] Loafers: you can run nautilus as root by running "gksudo nautilus".. just be careful with that window.. [23:07] arand: what do you mean? [23:07] Sahdos: gksudo is designed specifically for handling graphical programs and has better environment handling for them [23:07] grep for $ [23:07] lstarnes: thank you [23:07] Kalisto, thanks. The application isn't running. I tried to re-execute it in the terminal and received the following error: :xml-rpc:Error occur when starting the server daemon: (98, 'Address already in use') [23:07] dasei, yeah i know the hardware is very weak, just wanted to give this old sucker new life [23:07] bucky: both sudo -s and sudo -i gives you a root prompt.. there are some small differences in the enviroment setup iirc.. [23:08] bucky: sudo -s doesn't use root's environment settings and instead uses your user's environment [23:08] once i was drunk and as root did chmod o+rwx /home/ [23:08] Sahdos: On ubuntu, gksudo and gksu are exactly the same thing [23:08] bucky: -i behaves more like su [23:08] arand: lstarnes says otherwise [23:09] baba_b00ie: so try with the mac version, just the basic facts macs used to be tougher, and ubu can ran on a 233, too (intel) [23:09] Sahdos: I think gksudo and gksu are the same [23:09] arand: error, lstarnes says gksudo and sudo are different [23:09] can you upgrade the kernel through synaptic? [23:09] Sahdos: but gksudo and sudo are different [23:09] gksudo is symlinked to gksu on my system [23:09] arand: I didn't ask about the difference between gksudo and gksu === Julian-off is now known as Julian-de [23:10] a fix for an audio problem my system has seems to be fixed by compiling and installing the latest kernel ;_; [23:10] are su and sudo the same? [23:10] real men use gentoo /me runs and hides [23:10] Sahdos: yes they are indeed, ok, I must've read wrong. [23:10] !gksudo | Sahdos [23:10] Sahdos: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [23:10] Sahdos: no [23:10] Sahdos: check that last link.. there some info there [23:10] dasei, yup yup thanks. years ago i did have ubuntu 7.04 ? running on a g4 1ghz machine with 512mb ram 40gig hd but thats like more than 3 times my currently mac hardware lol.. anyway thanks ttyl [23:10] does it work [23:10] !RTFM [23:10] Acronyms or statements like noob, jfgi, stfu, or rtfm are not welcome in this channel. Period. [23:10] hmmm [23:10] cool, chatting through a text based command line client [23:11] ubottu: I believed lstarnes [23:11] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) === root is now known as Guest91528 [23:11] ubottu: thank you [23:11] You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [23:11] ubottu is a bot?! [23:11] Sorry, I don't know anything about is a bot?! [23:11] Sahdos: yes [23:11] ubottu: tell Sahdos about yourself [23:11] Sahdos, :D [23:11] !bot [23:11] Sahdos, please see my private message [23:11] Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [23:11] wow [23:11] Sahdos, stop molesting the bot ;) [23:11] Kalisto_: same X error, i had to recover through recovery mode. [23:12] Drained, you installed the driver ok? [23:12] Kalisto_: what about sexually abuse? [23:12] baba_b00ie: http://sowerbutts.com/linux-mac-mini/ [23:12] No, obviously why i just said x wouldn't start? [23:12] screen [23:12] Drained, no i mean after do did ctrl alt f1 did that go ok? [23:13] not after the restart [23:13] exit [23:13] it installed, and the only problem is X config [23:13] so, reinstall flashplugin doesn't work. what can i try now? i want to play online chess. the games-page worked before the last updates with hardy heron fine. now i got a cpu from 100% and then i can only kill firefox. [23:13] Drained, ok whats the message again? [23:13] its in etc/log/Xorg.0.log [23:14] probably /var/log/Xorg.0.log [23:14] sorry yeah /var [23:14] my nautilus bookmarks have disappeared and when i try to assign new ones they go into the bookmarks frame for an instant and then vanish? [23:14] omg [23:14] this african linux seems so bore [23:14] i found one called irssi it looks pretty good, for a command line chat room client [23:14] read the link. is it cool to use gksudo instead of sudo on non-graphical apps? [23:15] Drained, did you tell the installer to write your xorg conf file for you? [23:15] yes i did it doesn't help [23:15] http://www.pastebin.ca/1518458 [23:15] how can i run such as photoshop, dreamweaver, ie, after effects and games? [23:15] how do I udate to the latest version of firefox 3.5?

[23:36] now we are getting somewhere [23:36] Syron4: either one will work, but I prefer 64-bit [23:36] xx [23:36] Syron4: imo 64-bit but be aware there may be some compatibility problems with obscure apps that aren't available from the official repository [23:36] Why do you guys prefer the 64-bit? Will I notice faster operations? Will it limit available software packages? [23:36] xx [23:36] someone here can help me with 9.04? it really slow, i cant even see video.

[23:37] ok ill do the backup now [23:37] b [23:37] Syron4: Since you only have 4GB of RAM, sticking with 32-bit will reduce the chances of software problems, but you won't be able to use all 4GB of RAM. [23:37] xconf backup http://pastebin.ca/1518483 [23:37] is the 64-bit just as stable as the 32-bit? [23:37] Syron4: Some operations will be faster, eg multimedia encoding. You also get better memory usage. [23:37] Yes, it's just as stable. [23:37] Thank you VCoolio! It disconnected me because from IRC because of the gnome-term restart, but thanks again. [23:38] jj'h [23:38] Syron4: Yes, but conflicts with 32bit app's is the real problem [23:38] georgefrs: without a 64bit cpu will it be faster? [23:38] Yeah I know 3.6gbs will all that is used. I will be dual booting with vista, and under ubuntu I will also have virtualbox for another vista(that way I won't need to reboot at certain times) [23:38] deca: it worked? good; you can toggle menubar in gnome-terminal by rightclicking inside the window [23:39] Drained, http://pastebin.ca/1518483 is the backup? [23:39] VCoolio: sure did... that's what I get for trying to use the CLI :( [23:39] Yeah. [23:39] bonsoir [23:39] syron4, don't use 64-bit unless necessary [23:39] Sahdos: without a 64-bit cpu?

[23:45] georgefrs: you'll have to be more specific. cat /proc/cpuinfo no such file or directory [23:45] Or, does Karmic fix the DVD burning issue, and I should just jump to the alpha? [23:45] don't 64-bit versions of 32-bit app also use more memory? or is that limited to just the binary size? [23:45] SineDeviance: ath5k maybe [23:46] rski, and thats it? doesnt madwifi work with ath chipsets? [23:46] dare: They shouldn't use more memory, but that depends on the app and how well its been coded [23:46] not sure [23:46] does anyone rdp from ubuntu to vista and have trouble with the cursor showing up? [23:46] dare: some 64-bit apps are ported rather badly [23:46] heh [23:46] it's interesting with the qt sdk [23:46] Sahdos: suprised you don't have that file. Are you running ubuntu? [23:47] the 64-bit install is around 100mb larger i think [23:47] georgefrs: I am running Ubuntu [23:47] what is the off topic channel? [23:47] #ubuntu-offtopic [23:47] 64-bit does not seem appealing at all (unless you have a large amount of ram and the usage for it) [23:48] it sorta gave me that X error, to restart gnome when X is configured properly. [23:48] dare: Oh, sorry... I misunderstood. They do sometimes use more storage space. 64 bit libraries have to be downloaded seperately sometimes [23:48] Kalisto_ everytime i overwrite the nvidia config file that happends... [23:48] georgefrs: lshw says logical cpu "width: 64 bits" [23:48] nvidia-xconfig causes that "overwrite" [23:49] georgefrs: lshw says T2310 [23:49] Drained are you in gnome right now?

[23:49] how do I get the UUID for a device (hard disk partition)? [23:49] how else can i be on irc o.o? [23:49] i ran the recovery [23:49] georgefrs, and i remember it was not possible to install 32-bit apps and their 32-bit dependencies from the ubuntu repository [23:50] nothreat33: Conky on the left, awn on the bottom, gdesklets on the left [23:50] (perhaps screenlets on the left not sure about that one) [23:50] i think the app i wanted did not have 64-bit version [23:50] nothreat33, which app ? the widgets or the mac-style-bar ? [23:50] Sahdos: Thats your cpu model number, and yes it supports 64 bit :) [23:50] Drained, you could be using bitchx etc.. ok in recovery... when you take the recovery settings... and restart? [23:50] i dont restart [23:50] hmm okay, well it appears that ath9k IS madwifi, so im already using the right driver. im using ubuntu 9.04 amd64, do you think i should try 32bit instead? [23:50] i just Resume. [23:50] madwifi is ath_pci ? [23:50] nothreat33: Nevermind! That's not conky at all! It's all either screenlets or gdesklets [23:51] Drained, for a driver to be installed you should restart. [23:51] nothreat33: and awn at the bottom [23:51] no you THINK!? [23:51] in other news http://www.yourworldoftext.com/ [23:51] ive been restarting, im not retarded. [23:51] although you could load it manually... [23:51] dude [23:51] SineDeviance, ath9k is not madwifi [23:51] ah thanks edbian [23:52] nothreat33: NP! [23:52] Drained, sorry i dont get it... so recovery works? [23:52] can anyone on msn see my real ip address? [23:52] or using anything? [23:52] no it doesn't work i cant access X server config [23:52] dare, in #madwifi it says it is in the channel topic [23:52] ll [23:52] i cant use OpenGL. [23:52] / [23:52] hi folks, I have Ubuntu 8.10 and I wanted to test Mandriva. So I installed it on another partition and during the installation process it asked me if I want to install the Boot Loader. I chose No, then after installation GRUB gave me error 15. So I booted from Ubuntu Live CD and reinstalled GRUB. Now I can only see Ubunut and WinXP in GRUB. How can I add Mandriva to GRUB so I can boot it? [23:53] Drained ok do this: sudo chmod o+rwx /path to your xorg.conf [23:53] Mango: you need to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst [23:53] i'm sure madwifi is based on proprietary HAL but ath9k is 100% foss based on atheros-released code/spec [23:53] georgefrs: how to do that? [23:53] dare: cool [23:53] similar to ath5k_pci but for wireless-n [23:53] Drained, once you do that. kill X run nvidia installer again and reboot. [23:53] Mango: Open it with a text editor like nano or gedit... [23:54] Mango: then copy the entry for Ubutnu and change the relevant bits to point to the Mandriva parition and rename it [23:54] ok then ill be back again lol.. [23:54] lol yeao [23:55] dude [23:55] Hi. Text for many different websites does not appear in firefox and i've tried alternate browsers: how can I figure out which component is causing the bug ? [23:55] mandriva?? :S [23:55] skorasaurus: if you highlight the text does it appear? [23:55] can someone help me get desktop effects enabled? === staz_ is now known as istaz__ [23:56] Sahdos, no it does not. I have tried different firefox profiles too [23:56] rodimus: what kind of graphic chip do you have? [23:56] sahdos: im not sure, its on board video i think [23:56] skorasaurus: have you tried chromium? [23:56] l [23:56] Sahdos, how do i find out? [23:56] rodimus: lspci [23:57] rodimus: you can try lspci grep | Display [23:57] georgefrs: how can I know the "relevant" bits for Mandriva? [23:57] Sahdos, i get nothing when i do that [23:57] Sahdos, chromium, isn't that an arcade game ?! [23:57] Sahdos, 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82865G Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02) [23:57] or do you mean google chrome ?> [23:58] Mango: You need to know which disk and partition it is installed to [23:58] skorasaurus: google's browser [23:58] christel is 200000 in fly years [23:59] skorasaurus: sudo apt-get install google-chrome-unstable === heroin is now known as Guest90458 [23:59] georgefrs: it's on the same disk [23:59] w [23:59] georgefrs: but different partition [23:59] georgefrs: is there any tutorial on this topic? [23:59] Mango: For instance, if its installed to the third parition of the first disk, then you need the following line: [23:59] rodimus: I have an intel g960/965 [23:59] Mango: root (hd0,2) [23:59] i have a problem with "Package acpid is not configured yet" [23:59] Sahdos, ok
