[00:00] oh well kalisto_ i give up. [00:00] same issue? [00:01] yeah no diffrence. [00:01] ive got to get going tho so that's as far as i can put up for ubuntu for today. [00:01] georgefrs: I can't access the page: "Your client is not allowed to access the requested object. " [00:01] Sahdos, i'm trying out chromium right now. i'd rather not have to change browser from firefox. and this problem just started this afternoon, for no apparent reason. [00:01] Drained, ok sorry i could not be more help [00:01] georgefrs: do you work for sun or what? [00:01] it's ok [00:01] I'm trying to install fluxbox, or some other application but I keep getting the same error for all installs - "Package acpid is not configured yet" [00:02] Syron4: because virtualbox can't run 64-bit guest systems without the host system being 64-bit [00:02] can someone help me figure it out? [00:02] skorasaurus: I would rather you not have to change browsers, but the problem is strange. maybe if it works in chrome it will shed some light on the problem. [00:02] lstarnes, there is no stability increase? [00:02] Syron4: Virtualisation is one of the applications that gets a performance boost from 64-bit cpus [00:02] hello [00:02] georgefrs: I can access it now O_o! [00:03] ah okay. guess that will settle my plan [00:03] I'm trying to install fluxbox, or some other application but I keep getting the same error for all installs - "Package acpid is not configured yet" [00:03] Sahdos, k. thanks, i've did a bit of searching on launchpad, found no bugs similar to this, and have the most updated version of firefox, 3.0.12 for jaunty. [00:03] is there a gui that deals with file perms and other terminal based stuff? [00:03] Syron4: there may be some stability differences [00:03] Mango: Nope, don't work for sun :D [00:03] skorasaurus: any links that might shed some light on the problem? [00:03] anyone could help me with wacom configuration? I lost my calibration everytime I reboot or restart a new session... [00:03] skorasaurus: I'm using Jaunty too. Never had this problem. [00:04] skorasaurus: have you changed anything that might be connected to the problem? how does the site appear without text? graphics works okay? [00:05] georgefrs: Mandriva is installed on this partition: /dev/sda5 so it's in root (hd0, 5) [00:05] georgefrs: I thought the benefits of 64bit cpus was the increased memory allocation, and that's about it. [00:05] georgefrs: right? [00:05] graphics are fine. i didn't change anything besides update a couple of extensions (don't remember which ones exactly) through the firefox updater, but I disabled all my add-ons and the prob still occured. [00:05] Mango: Odd you can't access the page, works for me. Try this one instead: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [00:05] i also tried different browsers too (flock, galeon) [00:05] skorasaurus: every page you visit has no text? [00:05] Sahdos: The longer instruction length also leads to better performance in floating point operation heavy code [00:05] Sahdos: some operations on larger numbers also become faster [00:06] can someone help me get desktop effects enabled in ubuntu 9.04 [00:06] ?

[00:07] Sahdos: accessing a number larger than 2^32 on a 32-bit system is more complex because 32-bit systems only natively support values smaller than 2^32. Larger values require additional operations [00:08] dumont: you have no /proc/acpi/event [00:08] dumont: make sure you don't have acpi disabled [00:08] lstarnes: thank you [00:08] lstarnes how do I do that?

[00:13] maribel: have you tried 'ifconfig eth0 up' ? [00:13] Sahdos, firefox's error console "displays Warning: Error in parsing value for property 'filter'." [00:13] can i make ubuntu boot faster? [00:13] lstarnes the only thing in that file is "auto BOOT_IMAGE=linux ro root=801" [00:14] jonathank89, sorry I cannot help out, I'm getting busy. good luck. [00:14] skorasaurus, well there where a couple of updates i installed...but i can't really remember what they where... [00:14] dumont: what do you have in /etc/acpi?

[00:14] If your graphics card is blacklisted from desktop-effects you can turn them back on again by removing the blacklist (at your own risk of course).

I just got "No DHCPOFFERS received. No working leases in persistent database - sleeping". I'll try the other commands...

[00:37] bloodrock the install is hours fresh, home folder is on the same partition as root [00:37] maribel: thats good, that should have the same effect as running 'sudo dhclient eth0', request an IP address from your dhcp server [00:37] deexannihilate: can you connect a home wirelessly?

I type the exact same network name into IRSSI and it works [01:05] Dr_Willis, thanks, I just had it figured that the window manager was nothing more than the GUI to the system [01:05] Zabadda: If you downloaded the file, you will need to run chmod on it like described first [01:05] gogeta: and you've actually seen it used on aspire one? [01:06] deexannihilate: using it on my 900a and yes in thee fourms thers acer ones users [01:06] Zabadda: chances are you will also want to run that installer with 'sudo ./AdobeAIRinstaller.bin' as well [01:06] as well as dell mini 9 and 10 [01:06] arifd86: the 'window manager' is techinally the tool that does the window decorations. thats true.. but you are running the lxde 'desktop' that is the Window manager + other tools...

Now it appears that the passphrase for my RSA key, which I don't know, has been discarded. Does anyone know where this passphrase is stored? [01:37] genii: oh yeah (-r) [01:37] :) [01:37] TwoToneSpirit, ~/.ssh === ShadowOfTime is now known as ShadowOfShadows [01:38] bastidrazor: Understand, I'm not looking for the actual keys, but the passphrase [01:39] TwoToneSpirit, ah, that i don't know. [01:39] TwoToneSpirit: Any reasonable security policy would suggest that keys and pass phrase aren't both stored... so at most I guess it would be in a wallet manager thing? [01:39] Radtoo: Yeah I'm going crazy with gnome-keyring too. When I reinstalled, the password for .gnome-keyrind was not changed. [01:40] TwoToneSpirit: The passphrase is in the keyfile... Sort of. I suspect at least. When you add a passphrase, the key itself is encrypted with it. [01:40] TwoToneSpirit: There is no way to recover a lost passphrase [01:41] <_mnemonic76> How can I make a partition on an internal SATA drive automount under Jaunty? It is another (data) partition on the same physical disk as the Jaunty installation partition, but I have to mount it manually every time I reboot... [01:41] anyone know why Adobe AIR doesn't install after having it removed from Computer Cleaner? [01:41] renic: OK, well then I guess I'll generate a new key. How did it become lost? Where was it before it was lost? [01:41] <_mnemonic76> It is a backup location for my wife's laptop, and it would be nice if it was automounted. [01:41] TwoToneSpirit: you can have a passwordless key if you want... [01:41] TwoToneSpirit: I dunno... I just read the ssh manpages. [01:41] _mnemonic76: add an entry to it in /etc/fstab [01:42] and it said "There is no way to recover a lost passphrase" [01:42] TwoToneSpirit: I don't really understand the problem. Did you forget your passphrase? [01:42] burkmat: I don't think I ever knew it. It never asked me for it before I reinstalled. [01:42] TwoToneSpirit: are you certain it HAD a passphrase then? [01:43] TwoToneSpirit: did you try entering a blank passphrase? [01:43] Well, whenever I try to use my key now (to ssh into a system that knows my key) I'm being asked for a passphrase. I tried blank, no dice. [01:43] I tried to enlarge an ntfs partition with gparted, but when I saw that it was intending to move hundreds of GB's I cancelled the operation. The partition is now gone. Using a recovery program it can still detect the partition and the files. How can I restore the partition? [01:43] TwoToneSpirit: it doesn't say "keyboard interactive" login tho? [01:44] TwoToneSpirit: If you check your key, does it begin with "---BEGIN KEY---" followed by key, or is it "---BEGIN KEY---" followed by encryption info? [01:44] Radtoo: No it doesn't. I don't know that phrase. [01:44] Hi, can we chitchat here or is this strictly support? [01:44] deexannihilate: standerd should be fine [01:44] FergatROn: theres #ubuntu-offtopic for chitchat [01:44] thanks Radtoo [01:44] burkmat: It has encryption info! :-) [01:45] TwoToneSpirit: Then I'm afraid the key is lost without a passphrase (or some serious brute-forcing ^^). Sorry. [01:45] TwoToneSpirit: That'd be when you log in with username / pw in ssh rather than username / key. I just thought perhaps the key was not sent by the client for some reason and the server-side fallback to interactive login had triggered [01:46] Hey, I got a problem I have no sound :( [01:46] burkmat: Hmm, well lesson learned I guess. I wish I understood how and where the passphrase was previously stored. [01:47] TwoToneSpirit: Presumably the keyring manager, if you used the gnome terminal... [01:47] TwoToneSpirit: I guess the keyring did that for you... Not very nice of it. If you didn't already, I suggest you use `ssh-keygen` CLI for making keys, with passphrases. All in 1 file, if you remember the passphrase that is. ;) [01:48] does ubuntu come with any tools for resizing partitons? [01:48] by default [01:48] TwoToneSpirit: If you don't trust it anymore there's also alternatives... [01:48] neutron: gparted can do that I think. [01:48] neutron: I think it has fdisk and gparted... not certain anymore tho [01:48] Nvidia is defaulting to 1280x720 for the HDMI video on my 32" 720p TV... How do I get it to the correct resolution of 1366x768 [01:48] Good morning. [01:48] burkmat: OK, well, also: how do I reset the gnome-keyring password? I googled, and all the suggestions are to delete .gnome2/keyring/default.passphrase or something to that effect - but I have no such file. [01:49] i just installed ubuntu 9.04 and it has no sound, how am i supposed to get it to work? [01:49] TwoToneSpirit: Are you sure you have a keyring password set? [01:49] alright nice. I installed ubuntu on a very small partition :P [01:49] Can someone with my passphrase generate my private key?! [01:50] burkmat: Yes, my keyring password is my user password from my previous installation. [01:50] the windows tool would only let me allocate 3.4GB [01:50] how do i stop a infinite loop? [01:50] TwoToneSpirit: Absolutely not. Passphrase is just a way of encrypting your private key. That way, someone steals your keyfile, but it's encrypted. Not much use. [01:50] burkmat: Great. [01:50] i've ssh to a ubuntu system and i ran a cgi/perl script [01:50] centinul: couldn't you choose the correct resolution via nvidia-settings? [01:50] FalconM: you can kill a process from the terminal with ctrl+c [01:51] Can anyone help me with my no sound issue? [01:51] mid: No, it had a bunch of resolutions but that wasn't one of them [01:51] boomerang: Depends. [01:51] TwoToneSpirit: Well, I'm not entirely sure how to remove the keyring... Let me search around for a bit. ;) === josspyker__ is now known as josspyker-afk [01:51] FalconM: wait till it runs out of memory and crashes the system? [01:51] if i have a script set to run from cron, and it involves connecting to an ssh which requires a password, will it sit at a prompt or fail? [01:52] TwoToneSpirit: hemm, it would be nonstandard but perhaps you had another wallet manager like keepass or kwallet? :P [01:52] centinul: Hmmm, probably there is a DDC issue with the monitor. nvidia-settings normally only lists resolutions supported both by monitor and graphic chip. [01:52] FalconM: run top on the remote and see if you can kill it with k [01:52] what do you need to know to help me? I've alreay checked if things were muted, and theyre all on full blast, plus my computer is making it's system noises [01:52] What should by fstab entry be for an NTFS Windows partition so all users can (un)mount it, and see everything inside it? [01:52] I tried to enlarge an ntfs partition with gparted, but when I saw that it was intending to move hundreds of GB's I cancelled the operation. The partition is now gone. Using a recovery program it can still detect the partition and the files. How can I restore the partition? [01:52] CSB it will time out after a while [01:52] TwoToneSpirit: Or is there some file ther but you just can't access it? [01:52] boom: Do you have the small loudspeaker icon in the upper right corner? [01:52] mido: any ideas on what to do to fix it? [01:52] ya its there, with three waves [01:52] boomerang: Do you have the small loudspeaker icon in the upper right corner? [01:52] TwoToneSpirit: I mean, you can't access gnome-keyring? (Try the old login password?) [01:52] Ah. [01:53] Radtoo_ I can access gnome-keyring, but I can't seem to change the password away from my old one and to my new one. [01:53] Wow [01:53] centinul: just a moment. [01:53] C-S-B best to use keys instead of passwords for cron-ssh access [01:53] boom: right-click the icon and open the sliders. [01:53] anyone know why I get this error when installing Adobe AIR? An error occurred while installing Adobe AIR. Installation may not be allowed by your administrator. Please contact your administrator. [01:54] pwebguy: i know,but its not my server :/ [01:54] alright im in volume control what next? [01:54] aaroninfidel: in Ubuntu? [01:54] boomerang: Then klick on "settings". [01:54] There's no way to get wubi to install to a dedicated parition? [01:54] TwoToneSpirit: hmm... perhaps you want to chown your entire home directory to your current user, just to make sure there's not any files with the wrong permissions left? [01:54] I just don't have a blank cd.... [01:54] TwoToneSpirit: perhaps the user id number changed between installations or somesuch. [01:54] boomerang: there are a lot of non-selected channels. === Randy is now known as Guest34222 [01:54] Darxus: got a USB key of 1GB or greater you can format? [01:55] mneptok: yes, 9.04 32bit edition [01:55] boomerang: Then enable _all_ of then. Go back to the sliders and unmute all, then bring all full up. [01:55] boomerang: After that you should hear something. [01:55] TwoToneSpirit: And in that case it might explain why the keyring doesn't work correctly as well. [01:55] mido: im sort of getting lost here, what channels? there;s only one thing there (it says master and its checked) [01:55] Radtoo_: No, the ownership is definitely fine. I'm not that worried about it. I have generated a new set of keys and the keyring issue, which I must admit I don't fully understand the point of in the first place, is only a rare annoyance [01:55] boomerang: (when playing sound) [01:55] whats the command to list all the users on the server? [01:56] mneptok: No :/ [01:56] dumont: who [01:56] boomerang: What device is named in that window? The selection bar. [01:56] how do i get access to the apt test respository? [01:56] hey can anyone tell me if gnome supports zeroconf/mdns [01:57] mido: it says Null Output (PulseAudio Mixer) [01:57] TwoToneSpirit: okay. [01:57] boomerang: Ah, not good. Any other devices you could choose? [01:57] spO: you mean the next version of ubuntu? [01:57] whats the command to list all the users on the server? who command only displays the current user, it doesn't display all the available logins to the server === TwoToneSpirit is now known as jMyles [01:58] dumont: maybe w? [01:58] dumont: Look at /etc/passwd, then you see all users on the system [01:58] dumont: cat /etc/passwd [01:58] i need to find out if any user logins were created by a root logged in user [01:58] dumont: sudo who [01:58] mido: is also says the also mixer thing but thats for the microphone... (because its detecting the usb device which is my webcam/mic) [01:58] Can anyone point me to a good example of how to package my python app? I've never created debs before. [01:59] mido: and the Moniter of Null Output [01:59] boomerang: Okay, seems to be a serious issue. What is your soundcard/chip? Probably onboard? [01:59] jerbear: debs are known as the *HARDEST* type of package [01:59] gardar: nevertheless, I still need to. [02:00] !packageing | jerbear [02:00] Sorry, I don't know anything about packageing [02:00] Actually, according to my windows (which is dual booted and sound works perfectly) I have an Envy24 Family Audio [02:00] centinul: Seems if you'll have to configure xorg manually. [02:00] okay [02:00] !packaging | jerbear [02:00] jerbear: The packaging guide is at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/NewPackages for information on getting a package integrated into Ubuntu - Other developer resources are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment - See also !backports [02:01] centinul: I'm looking for an example. [02:01] How do I make apache2 listen to IPv6 only and bind to a certain IPv6 address? [02:01] would anyone happen to know/guess the when the next release of ubuntu would be? i'm guessing october [02:01] mido: Actually, according to my windows (which is dual booted and sound works perfectly) I have an Envy24 Family Audio [02:01] hm === ShadowOfShadows is now known as MidsummerDawn [02:02] hellis22: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases [02:02] hellis22: so, yes... [02:02] boomerang: Is it an onboard chip, or a PCI/PCIe card? [02:03] mido: Its a PCI [02:04] boomerang: Sorry, I don't find anyone mentioning a solution. I fear the chip is not supported yet. [02:05] mido: really?? ooh that might be bad... [02:05] boomerang: I only find people complaining about problems not getting this card working, sorry. [02:06] mido: i was searching earlier on it tho and i entered lspci-v in the terminal (got it from the forums) and it gave me some info on my card [02:06] hello all, need some advise !! [02:06] centinul: Have a look at http://wiki.linux-sevenler.org/index.php/Erkan_-_xorg.conf_dosyam [02:06] mido: it said Capabilities: im guessing thats bad [02:06] i want to store Large chunk of movies on a single partition which partition format is suitable for that [02:06] I would like an example or a tutorial for how to package a python app. [02:06] centinul: There's an xorg.conf for an nvidia card. [02:07] thanks [02:07] centinul: important is the option "noddc" [02:07] xairete [02:07] centinul: This suppresses the resolution autodetection. [02:07] jerbear: you should try #ubuntu-motu [02:08] centinul: Then you'll have to add a "monitor" section like in the example to your xorg conf, but with the correct frequencies for your monitor. [02:09] centinul: At last, you'll have to extend the screen section by the resolution. [02:09] centinul: Keep a backup of your xorg.conf, maybe you'll need it ;-) [02:09] thanks... I'll see what I can do === mido is now known as bankix [02:11] anyone have a good link for getting firefox 3.5 installed on x64? [02:13] how do I know which usb device in /sys/devices ("find /sys -name autosuspend") matches with the devices listed in "lsusb"? I'm trying to turn off autosuspend for the port that my wireless usb adapter is connected to and I can't figure out which one it is. === linux is now known as good [02:14] !ff3.5 | fosa [02:14] fosa: Firefox 3.5 Final is available for Jaunty by installing the package firefox-3.5 and firefox-3.5-gnome-support | FF3.5 is referred to as Shiretoko on your UI, see http://is.gd/1reB3 for an explanation | Hardy & Intrepid: http://is.gd/1jkNY [02:15] should i upgrade to jaunty? [02:15] is that likely to break a few programs/settings ? [02:15] queso: will take some minutes... [02:15] (running intrepid) [02:16] How do you kill a process? I'm looking for something similar to task manager from windows. [02:17] AvonGenesis: alt-f2? [02:17] AvonGenesis: and then gnome-system-monitor [02:17] queso_: Okay: Look at the "Bus" and the "Device" number. Do you have an example line for me? Then I could use these values. [02:17] AvonGenesis: top [02:18] hey [02:18] fosa: intrepid is very stable, upgrading should not break anything [02:18] What should by fstab entry be for an NTFS Windows partition so all users can (un)mount it, and see everything inside it? [02:18] Radtoo: Thanks! Thats what I was looking for. [02:18] AvonGenesis: np. [02:18] boss_mc, upgrading from intrepid to jaunty shouldn't break anything? [02:19] fosa: yeah, that's what I meant, I'm stuck in 6 months ago... :) [02:19] how can you do a sudo on filezilla? [02:19] Mike_lifeguard: You'll have to add the mount option "user". Then every user may mount it, own it, and unmount it. [02:20] gogeta: the eeebuntu install is going, so far a much better experience then installing the dell one... system is locking up, its moving along quickly, etc :) *cross fingers* [02:20] boss_mc, okay i'll trust you and upgrade soon ^^ [02:20] bankix: do I need "defaults" too? [02:20] queso_: Could you post me a line of your "lsusb" output with the device? Then I could use these values in the example so it's clearer to you. [02:21] Mike_lifeguard: Depends. "defaults" is short for a number of options, the manpage shows which. If you need them, keep "defaults". I would. [02:21] bankix: Sure, thanks! Here's one of the lines: "Bus 001 Device 003: ID 7392:7318" [02:22] k, thx [02:22] queso_: Good. We need the bus number, here 001, so 1, and the device number, here 003, so 3. [02:22] bankix: here is a /sys/devices line: "/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:04.0/usb3/power/autosuspend" === charitwo is now known as evilChari [02:23] queso_: Now let a loop (for d in /sys/bus/usb/devices/*; do) run over all devices, and look if there are the files */busnum and */devnum [02:23] queso_: The file busnum must match the bus number, the file devnum the device number. [02:23] blognewb: you could probably run it with... gksudo was it? But while it may not be quite as current as it used to be, its sort of an old wisdom not to run networking programs like ftp as root user. [02:23] bankix: run "for d in /sys/bus/usb/devices/*; do" in bash? [02:24] queso_: Yes, that's the head of your loop. [02:24] Radtoo: sftp? [02:24] queso_: You need to write a script, btw. === harry is now known as Guest87298 [02:25] blognewb: you don't need super user permissions to use sftp, for all I know [02:25] bankix: Ooh, lol. :) Write a script . . . hmm. I don't exactly know how to do that for this purpose. [02:25] queso_: When you did find the appropriate directory in /sys/bus/usb/devices, you could resolve the pci bus path with "readlink". [02:25] blognewb: there's a login field in filezilla, at most you put "root" in there rather than running the whole thing as root. [02:26] Radtoo: yeah that's the problem in some folders, i can just upload files but not for certain directories.. i dunno why htat is [02:26] hey. sorry if its been asked a bunch already but anyone know if there are jaunty packages for kde 4.3 yet? [02:26] is there an easy tutorial on using apache with ubuntu? [02:26] queso_: This will point to the /sys/devices/pci* path [02:26] What can cause Brasero to stop at "normalizing tracks" when burning an audio CD? [02:26] queso_: Never wrote a shell script before? [02:26] bankix: lol [02:26] bankix: I know how make scripts executable and modify them, but never wrote any from scratch, no. :/ [02:27] ... I know everybody should do something good every day... but at half past three in the morning? [02:27] i joined the #samba channel and it seems as if no ones online is there another room where i can get help with samba [02:28] blognewb: well it sure could be permissions, I recall filezilla wasn't all that great about conveying why a transfer fails. [02:28] bankix: it's only 2130 real time [02:29] bankix: sorry, don't mean to keep you up [02:29] th0r: Hi! Good eavening, then. Still in the habour? [02:29] 630 here bankix [02:29] blognewb: But that's probably permissions on the remote side, no? At most you need to perform a root login there, but not locally... [02:30] Radtoo: oh i didnt put root in the user field maybe that's why [02:30] i iiiidont want to. can i do it on the spot? [02:30] hi i have an ati radeon hd 4670 and i cannot get the drivers to work in jaunty or hardy [02:30] even after following a few tutorials on the net [02:30] is there another room becides #samba that i can go to for help [02:31] i like the ubuntu site it's so cute [02:31] queso_: Sorry, no bash for beginners tonigt. [02:32] queso_: Perhaps write down the important steps: [02:32] bankix: lol [02:32] blognewb: I think the default would be your current user, so yes, I think you'd have to explicitly put root there... [02:32] bankix: sure, I'm willing to learn. :) [02:32] queso_: first you have to call "lsusb" and cut out busnumber and devicenumber. [02:33] Radtoo: are there any ways to have filezilla prompt you for a root password when necessary? [02:33] blognewb: Uhm the password field is right next to the user field unless my memory is failing me, but I think it will prompt if you leave it blank... [02:33] ..to avoid saving the root in settings [02:33] queso_: then wander through /sys/bus/usb/devices, with the for loop I posted. In $d is the name of the directory you test === hyperion is now known as Hyperion__ [02:34] queso_: Look if there is $d/busnum an $d/devnum (if [ -e $d/busnum -a $d/devnum ]; then) [02:34] blognewb: it is a very bad security practice to ftp to dirs that require root access. ftp to a dir in ~/ and then ssh to the server and move the files using sudo [02:34] queso_: Then look into busnum and devnum, and compare it to the numbers you got from lspci. === root is now known as Guest33858 [02:35] queso_: If both match, $d is the usb device directory of the device you were looking for. === Guest33858 is now known as free2x [02:35] th0r: sorry what's ~/? [02:36] blognewb: your home directory (/home/username/) [02:36] oh home [02:36] queso_: If you need the /sys/devices/pci* path, simply call "readlink $d", this will return you the relative path. Prepend $d, and you get the absolute path. [02:36] th0r: that isn't really safer than sftp though, save for using two passwords instead of one (if both are bad it doesn't matter much tho, and if one is strong its all good anyways) [02:36] queso_: that should be all. [02:36] bankix: great, thanks for your time, I really appreciate it. [02:36] anyone use airodump ? [02:37] i'm looking to get apache up and running on ubuntu 9.04, is there an easy way to do this? [02:37] or aircrack? [02:37] !lamp | streblo [02:37] streblo: 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+) [02:37] queso_: Good luck. It's not too hard, looking to half a dozend bash script should teach you enough. [02:37] Radtoo: it isn't so much for hacker security...there can be occasions where what you upload overwrites something in, say /usr/bin, and locks everything up. Doing the move separately attempts to circumvent that possibility [02:37] th0r: so.. i can't ftp anywhere but ~/ as best practices? [02:38] Im trying to install glipper.i keep getting this... 302 Found [IP: 91.189.88.140 80]?? [02:38] Radtoo: the mv command is much quicker than the ftp....so locks up the file for a much shorter time [02:38] ubottu, i'm not looking for a lamp server, i'm going to be using this box to host a django app in the future, but right now all i'd like to do is get apache working [02:38] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [02:38] bankix: I'll probably be able to figure it out now. Thanks again :) [02:38] err [02:38] Pici, i'm not looking for a lamp server, i'm going to be using this box to host a django app in the future, but right now all i'd like to do is get apache working [02:38] blognewb: see what I just sent Radtoo [02:38] streblo: sudo apt-get install apache2 will install apache. [02:38] i run the reload and it still says its available but the server is offline? [02:38] gogeta you around [02:38] streblo: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP [02:39] styol: yea [02:39] mdg thank you so much for all your help, you rockith so hard [02:39] Pici, how do i run apache [02:39] gogeta eebuntu works great and its pretty awesome [02:39] my wifi works [02:39] im stoked [02:39] th0r: hemm that seems very unlikely to me, given how linux filesystems and inodes work, but ... I guess you can kill things if you partially upload a set of binaries / libraries, and mv "might" be fast enough. :P [02:39] streblo: it starts by itself [02:39] styol: :) [02:39] streblo: It should be setup a system daemon as soon as you install it [02:39] !Brasero [02:39] Sorry, I don't know anything about Brasero [02:39] boss_mc, where is my public html folder? [02:40] Radtoo: yeah....it is just an extra step that might prevent a very big headache. I always have ~/temp...ftp to that and then move everything where it goes using ssh and maybe sudo mc [02:40] streblo: IMHO /var/lib/apache or /var/lib/httpd [02:40] th0r: I personally... would just not move binaries between systems except with a package manger. Really. You always mess up some linkage. :) [02:41] Radtoo: yeah...exactly my point . [02:41] bankix, neither of those exist yet, should i create them? [02:41] Radtoo: Uh, I did wrote a script for that some time ago... [02:41] streblo: it's in /var/www/ but you can move it, (see the link I sent you, the bit about sites) [02:41] streblo: No, then they're somewhere else. [02:42] hi i have an ati radeon hd 4670 and i cannot get the drivers to work in jaunty or hardy [02:42] how do I install gpg key via command line? its something like sudo apt-key -add XXXXXXX -import [02:43] bankix: In the case of actual packages, its easier than that - I'd just make the machines in question mirrors that the package manager consults. There's a failover if packages don't exist anyhow, so partial mirroring is okay. [02:45] bankix: Anyhow, I think I'm side-tracking here. Sorry about that. So, did either method work to transfer your files? [02:46] Is there a server to talk about apps/games??? [02:46] Sorry i know thats off topic but i thought someone here would know more. === john is now known as Guest80313 [02:48] imran: #linux-gamers.net [02:48] !pgp [02:48] gpg is the GNU Privacy Guard.

[02:52] tuntun: yes [02:52] tuntun: in some cases but almost always only when there's free space at the end of said partition [02:53] Radtoo: you can grow ext3 safely [02:54] I tried to enlarge my ntfs partition, but when it said it would be moving 100's of GB's I cancelled the operation. === jon is now known as Guest58714 === iosif is now known as pillarist [02:55] hay guys does anybody know how to burn a movie onto a cd/dvd [02:55] gogeta: sure, but not towards the beginning. and there's the possibility people use luks / lvm / truecrypt, that also doesn't need to work with gparted.

[02:57] does anybody know how to burn a dvd/movie [02:57] Guest58714: growisofs -dvd-compat -speed=N -Z /dev/dvd=movie.iso [02:58] what is it [02:58] Guest58714: using command line [02:58] but how do i do that [02:58] GFW [02:58] Guest58714: you press the G key, then the R key, then the O key [02:58] gogeta, can it enlarge the partition from the front without moving 100's of GB's? [02:59] will i got then off a website [02:59] any recommended programs for checking for duplicate files (specifically audio files) [03:00] hey all - i a noob to ubuntu - thanks bunches to who ever wrote the windows installer - works like a charm [03:00] ryan8403: For exact matches, fslint isn't bad. I can't recomend any fuzzy audio search things though. [03:00] Guest58714: you need the VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS of the DVD and burn them to your own DVD. Should compress them though cause reg DVD is DVD 9 (>8GB) [03:00] so can yall help meout [03:01] Guest58714: you can type "/nick yournickname" to personalize your nickname [03:01] Guest58714: should warn you, making copies of DVDs in the US is *illegal* [03:01] i understand buit i still dont know how to [03:01] Radtoo, thanks. tried checking the repo for something that would jump out at me but didn't seem to have the right words [03:01] uber_noober: I think fair use allows one copy [03:01] Can gparted enlarge an ntfs partition from the front without moving 100's of GB's? [03:01] uber_noober: at least that's how it was with vhs [03:01] what if i am not from the usa [03:01] Sahdos: not a copy downloaded from a website [03:01] tuntun: Let me answer this. No. And using linux to resize ntfs is slightly dangerous as well. [03:01] Sahdos: Lol...no, the law is very explicit about that [03:02] th0r: what if they already own it? [03:02] Sahdos: in the US that is === math is now known as Math^ [03:02] mido: still no luck [03:02] Sahdos: then why spend all that time downloading when you could create the iso in a quarter the time [03:02] uber_noober: about a single copy being okay? or that you can't download a copy? [03:02] th0r: so downloading is illegal, not copying the dvd [03:03] Sahdos: no copies can be made as I read the law [03:03] Hi, I'm running Xubuntu 9.04 Jaunty on a toshiba laptop, with a Trident graphics card, and I am unable to use the Fn + F5 key to use multiple monitors. Can someone please point me in the right direction? [03:03] java puntime environment [03:03] uber_noober: that's news to me [03:03] uber_noober, while fair use is not well defined, the courts seem to support backup copies and media transformation (dvd to say disc image) [03:03] uber_noober: not that I'm an expert [03:03] hello every 1 i have this proplem ples help i have ubtmnt [03:03] java puntime environment [03:04] guys its not the fair use issue but the breaking of the encryption that has been interpreted as no copy permitted [03:04] Does anyone know of an auto-configure for X.org in Xubuntu? [03:04] Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) makes it illegal to bypass DRM on a CD or DVD for any reason. [03:04] hello ples help i have this prablim java puntime environment [03:04] winkman: i think 'dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' should do it [03:05] uber_noober, right right, forgot about that little bugger, [03:05] lol [03:05] Yea and it is this that also stops us from watching DVD's on our Desktops as well [03:05] uber_noober: I explicitly am allowed todo this here, but I'm not in the states. In fact I would even be allowed to if I made a competing product and needed to establish compatibility in one way or another. :) [03:05] Sahdos: uber_noober I think the real question is, is a script kiddie who doesn't recognize a command line really making a legit backup [03:05] this country is run by lawyers [03:05] th)r: i agree [03:05] I want to turn off usb autosuspend for a specific device. can I just sudo vi /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:04.1/usb1/1-2/power/autosuspend and change from "2" to "-1"? [03:05] th0r: I just want to know when it's actually breaking the law [03:06] th0r, agreed [03:06] java puntime environment [03:06] hello java puntime environment [03:06] Radtoo: use vobcopy to grab the VIDEO and AUDIO TS files and make an iso then burn it..Vobcopy should compress to <4.7 GB [03:06] or use dvdrip [03:06] When you copy or play it and bypass the encryption you are breaking the low [03:06] low = law [03:06] personally if its for me as a backup/watch on plane/trip whatever i'm of the mind set who cares but thats me [03:06] Radtoo: Here: http://www.bunkus.org/dvdripping4linux/single/ [03:07] Hello [03:07] java puntime environment [03:07] uber_noober: Ah, I don't need the info, just contributing that this DMCA law doesn't apply everywhere. [03:08] Radtoo: its illegal in whatever country that ratified the World Intellectual Property Organization [03:08] I'm sure DMCA law applies in California [03:08] WOndering if anyone can help with permission denied error [03:08] cant boot jaunty [03:08] due to error i made in psydm [03:08] Sahdos: especially [03:09] !ot [03:09] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [03:09] uber_noober: no kidding [03:09] uber_noober: especially southern [03:09] x [03:09] queso_: You'll have to change it to -1 [03:09] queso_: e.g. by echo: "echo -1 > /where/the/device/file/is" [03:10] bankix: how do I change it? I tried sudo vi, it didn't like that, lol [03:10] I'm trying to run simcity 3000 and I get this error while loading shared libraries: libpthread.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory. I have libpthread.so.0 in /lib [03:10] can anyone help [03:10] anyone know how to make all printing to be green on a black background :) [03:10] bankix: aah, cool, I'll give it a shot [03:10] queso_: Ah, better "echo -- -1" to avoid parameter confusion. [03:10] uber_noober: No, thats wrong, sorry. :) [03:10] correction, not printing...displayed text [03:10] Radtoo: I'm sorry what is? [03:11] queso_: Forget about the "--", just "echo -1". Echo doesn't recognize -- . [03:11] Sahdos: ...what displayed text? There's a lot of text in Ubuntu. :P [03:11] bankix: that's weird, it says permission denied even when I sudo that [03:11] queso_: What device is it? [03:11] queso_: A harddisk? [03:11] bankix: no, it's a usb wireless adapter [03:12] queso_: I cite the documentation: +It is worth mentioning that many USB drivers don't support +autosuspend. In fact, at the time of this writing (Linux 2.6.23) the +only drivers which do support it are the hub driver, kaweth, usblp, +usblcd, usb-skeleton (which doesn't count), and usb-storage. [03:12] does ubuntu come with vi? [03:12] uber_noober: That WIPO ratification = DMCA applies. Its really US national law. WIPO merely pushes for similar restrictions everywhere and some countries adopted some similar laws (but usually less extreme than the DCMA)... ahwell. Laws. :) [03:12] bankix: intermittently my internet access will be lost and the only way to restore it is by rebooting (restarting network doesn't work). a co-worker suggested it might be the power/autosuspend for usb that is turning it off. [03:12] can anyone help, [03:12] can boot from usual place [03:12] /dev/sdc1 [03:12] due to permissions error [03:12] mountainsun_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:12] how does one edit permissions from live disk (how I am tying this) [03:12] burkmat: actually, my problem is really on websites now [03:12] Radtoo: true enough [03:13] burkmat: the greasemonkey script I tried didn't work... [03:13] mountainsun: chmod 755 /dev/sdc1 [03:13] Sahdos: ...you want to change the way websites look? Uhm... I guess you could change the default fonts and set up something in greasemonkey... [03:13] queso_: Ah! [03:13] burkmat: I'm not even sure if it's possible [03:13] bankix: ooh :( so either I have been going down the wrong path, or I need to disable autosuspend for the whole hub? [03:13] queso: Which command did you enter? Please be exact. [03:14] Sahdos: Definitely possible, just... very very useless and unnecessary. And probably difficult. :P [03:14] bankix: which command? it was this: sudo echo -1 > /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:04.1/usb1/1-2/power/autosuspend [03:14] burkmat: not useless and unnecessary. I find it aesthetically pleasing [03:14] whats the recommended processor type for ubtunu? amd or intel? [03:14] Anita: Doesn't matter [03:15] queso_: Hehehe, everybody gets trapped some day ;-) [03:15] burkmat: it helps me tolerate staring on the screen for extended stretches [03:15] anita: i used AMD64 with ubuntu 64-bit and it works like a charm [03:15] oh cool [03:15] Anita: intel is thinking about integrating Nvidia in the processors so I'd bet them [03:15] queso_: "echo -1" is executed as root. But you redirect the output of sudo -- as normal user. [03:15] guys, so, I cant find nvidia drivers, how do I install them? [03:15] bankix: ooh, I get trapped on a regular basis, lol. [03:15] queso_: Therefor the permission is denied. [03:15] Anita: but AMD is excellent too === Cream|GONE is now known as Cream [03:15] hmm, kewlies =o [03:16] Anita: Well actually you could be using fairly wild CPUs with linux. But intel / amd have got plenty of good cpu and all work out of the box. [03:16] anyone have any luck getting a 1360x768 resolution with a samsung tv? [03:16] queso_: Do it as root: "sudo su -" then the echo line again. [03:16] Sahdos: Well, while I might agree with that (currently using irssi with green on black :P), it's going to mess things up. When someone designs a website they have a certain design in mind, changing the way things are displayed might give you a lot of strange things to deal with. FOr instance, a green background - then your script changed text to green... Such things. [03:16] bankix: doh! would sudo `echo -1 > /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:04.1/usb1/1-2/power/autosuspend` work? [03:16] queso_: Due you embedd the command into the script later and call the whole script via sudo, everything will work properly. [03:16] well, thats all i need to know... for now x3 arigato! [03:16] queso_, bankix: echo "-1" | sudo tee /sys/whatever/whatever [03:17] thx uber [03:17] np [03:17] Sahdos: actually changed my display colors a long time ago, and it was a pain in the ass browsing. everything gets distorted, and more often than not you need to highlight the text to even be able to see it ;) [03:17] Anita: There's even an optimized version of ubutu for intel atom cpu based netbooks (save power if you dont need processing power... :)) [03:17] queso_: Quoting it doesn't help. [03:17] Yooo:D [03:17] Radtoo: What's it called? [03:17] bankix: okay, your method worked [03:18] Yaahoo [03:18] burkmat: display colors and background colors? [03:18] Flannel: thx :) [03:18] LINUX<3 [03:18] guys, so, I cant find nvidia drivers, how do I install them? They are not in the Administration -> Hardware drivers [03:18] queso_: Then embedd that command into your script and give it a shot. [03:18] queso_, bankix: echo -1 | sudo tee /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:04.1/usb1/1-2/power/autosuspend is the best way to do it [03:18] mountainsun_: file permissions are set in this mode: user, group, all. So 0 is no permission and 7 is all permission. 755 has user all permission and group and others have read write but no execute [03:18] bankix: It wrote it, great! now to see if it helps :) if it does, I will make a script somehow to do that on bootup [03:18] Sahdos: on websites, yes. since your preferences collide with css and html and whatnot... it just tends to get very hard to browse :) [03:18] my flat panel tv is reporting the wrong resolution, how do i fix that? [03:18] Flannel: He's writing a script. [03:19] burkmat: About the version of ubunutu? http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download-netbook <- this one [03:19] bankix: If he's doing it at bootup, it'll already be executing as root [03:19] Radtoo: Thanks. [03:19] uber, terminal reports operations not permitted? [03:19] chmod: changing permissions of `/dev/sdc1': Operation not permitted [03:19] burkmat: i already have challenges with my ubuntu theme [03:19] bankix: my script is probably not following the best procedures. I just echo'd the directory, then tailed the $d/busnum and $d/devnum to find the right combination, lol [03:19] run it as sudo [03:19] but, if you do need to do what most people think of as "sudo echo > whatever" the proper version of that is echo | tee whatever (or tee -a if you ened o append) [03:19] burkmat: http://www.canonical.com/projects/ubuntu/unr <- actually, this is an even better link [03:19] burkmat: do you use a greasemonkey script? [03:19] mountainsun_: sudo chmod 755 /dev/sdc1 [03:20] exit [03:20] queso_: Paste it me to paste.ubuntu.com, I'll have a look. [03:20] Folks, I cant find the nvidia drivers, how do I find/install them? They are not in the Administration -> Hardware drivers [03:20] hi friends! please help! how can i do to save my visual effects ? Everytime when i turn on my pc, the compiz is not working again [03:21] visit nVidia webside [03:21] That would be perfect but operation not permitted? [03:21] noquinho: #compiz [03:21] Sahdos: Changed all system-wide default fonts and for browsing, yes, greasemonkey. [03:21] how ? [03:22] navatwo: you can try the legacy drivers from nvidia or the open-source driver if there is no driver option in hardware drivers go to nvidia website and find your card it will let you know what driver to download [03:22] bankix: http://paste.ubuntu.com/247641/ [03:22] navatwo: in terminal "sudo aptitude search nvidia" w/o quotes and look for nvidia glx [03:22] so im new here and i love ubuntu alot but now i have to figure out how to get flas to work on my computer dose any one have any tips for me [03:22] This started from my rookie tinkering to get folders on same drive shared over network thru psydm [03:22] could see but not copy to; tried to change via sudo psydm, and now cannot boot jaunty [03:23] queso_: Okay, there's missing something ;-) [03:23] zachinneed: adobe flash? [03:23] uber_noober: what do I do from this point? [03:23] yes [03:23] !flash [03:23] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [03:23] bankix: lol! I'm sure there's a lot missing ;) [03:23] It just says p nvidia-glx [03:24] queso_: To read the first line of file "busnum" into the variable busnumber, use "read busnumber < busnum" [03:24] well for some reson it is on there but wont work [03:24] that is my problem [03:24] navatwo: well if it is not installed install it if you want but that is the generic driver. Did you try going through System > Preferences > Hardware and install it from there? [03:24] uber_noober: its not there.. [03:24] navatwo: what did the search return? [03:24] in system etc. And what do you mean install it? [03:25] queso_: To compare two variables, use: if [ "$var1" = "$var2" ]; then [03:25] whats the file i need to edit to add a few lines to run at boot [03:25] queso_: To compare two sets, you can use: if [ "$var1a" = "$var1b" -a "$var2a" = "$var2b" ]; then [03:25] navatwo: dude here http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-nvidia-drivers-in-ubuntu-feisty-or-later-versions.html [03:26] uber_noober: http://paste.ubuntu.com/247644/ [03:26] 阿~ [03:26] bankix: the "-a" is OR? [03:26] what's this ~? [03:26] no i didnt is that a good way [03:27] queso_: No, -a is and, -o is or. [03:27] I have a flashed drive that has been write protected somehow. How do I remove the write protection on the fash drive. What is the command? [03:27] uber_noober: there is no option.. [03:27] navatwo: you have the drivers available already [03:27] frisc0: use chmod? [03:27] gogeta: hey, can you help styol troubleshoot wifi - he updated and wifi stopped working [03:27] uber_noober: then what do I need to do? I always feel silly with this. [03:27] bankix: awesome :) === Guest9171 is now known as tonyyarusso [03:28] aha ... i know [03:28] navatwo: what exactly is the issue with your display? By the looks of it your nvidia generic drivers including the kernel modules are already installed. So what is happening to your display? [03:29] bankix: you are giving me a scripting lesson after all ;) [03:29] queso_: Okay, last step: How to get the numbers out of lsusb. [03:29] good evening everyone. [03:29] uber_noober: compiz does not work [03:29] queso_: I did notice...... [03:29] I cant use any window animations [03:29] Anyone know how to solve my OpenGL problems i have the 180 driver installed. [03:29] navatwo: looks like drained has the same issue [03:29] bankix: use regex somehow? [03:29] queso_: The bus number: lsusb | grep "ID 152d:2329" | cut -d":" -f1 |cut -d" " -f2 [03:30] oh god, not someone else too! [03:30] uber_noober: where? [03:30] queso_: And the device number: lsusb | grep "ID 152d:2329" | cut -d":" -f1 |cut -d" " -f4 [03:30] oh [03:30] :P [03:30] CURSE U OPENGL [03:30] Drained: mind helping me out then> [03:30] i have the same problem lol. [03:30] queso_: Where "152d:2329" is the USB vendor/product ID of your wireless stick. [03:30] After struggling all day to install the driver without Xorg config messing up, i still get openGL error's ha.. [03:31] bankix: so cool, thanks so much. [03:31] What's the command in the terminal too check if your graphics card can handle opengl? [03:31] queso_: You may insert a space before the last "cut" if you like. [03:31] my gpu CAN it supports 2.0 but idk. [03:31] I got opengl 1.2 [03:31] that sucks [03:32] queso_: Ah, I forgot: You'll have to put the result into a variable: [03:32] uber_noober, permission is fine on the flash disk. /media/disk is rwx for my_user and group is root. Any other suggestions? [03:32] so ne1 know the Grep command thing in terminal to display graphics card support? [03:32] queso_: varname=$(commandline) [03:32] bankix: I don't know script etiquette . . is this a script that will be designed to run by root? [03:32] Drained glxinfo | grep render [03:32] queso_: The script must run as root because of the echo to the sysfs-file. [03:32] ctmjr: thank you kind sire. [03:32] WOAH? [03:32] Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0". [03:33] i get spammed that for infinate amount of lines [03:33] frisc0: i'm sorry ... are you having issues w/ read/write/execute or what [03:33] bankix: after I have the script complete, where is the standard place to put something like this, and where do I add it so it runs at boot? [03:33] anyone know how to fix that lol? [03:34] queso_: And you'll have to get rid of the leading zeros in the busnumber/devicenumber: $varname=${varname##0} [03:34] uber_noober, I can't write to the flash disk even though chmod is rwx for user some_user. Write also failing for flash disk on windows too. [03:34] Drained: you can try to reconfigure X with sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg. Back up first tho [03:35] how do i backup ? [03:35] could the flash drive be corrupted? [03:35] queso_: You could put it in /usr/local/sbin, or /usr/sbin. To have it called at boot time is a very very different thing... [03:35] Drained: it seems glx is not loading look in here for configuration options man nvidia-xconfig [03:35] Drained: just copy current xorg file to xorgfilename.bak [03:35] queso_: The _right_ way would be to write an udev rule where the autosuspend is disabled when the stick is inserted or detected. [03:35] nvidia-xconfig <== configures X i belive [03:36] frisc0: what's the filesystem type? [03:36] which always crashes my X lol [03:36] queso_: But not this night..... [03:36] uber_noober, flash disk is vfat. [03:36] oh, goodie ctmjr: i have errors :) [03:36] bankix: write a udev rule? okay, I'll keep that in mind for the future. for now, I can just run the script after I boot (which presumably won't be often if turning autosuspend off solves my problem) [03:37] ctmjr: this is my output http://pastebin.ca/1518678 [03:37] frisc0: try setting the uid to 1000 [03:37] frisc0: when u mount [03:37] Can anyone help, cannot boot Ubuntu [03:37] uber_noober, how do you do that? === zoltan is now known as Guest98074 [03:37] Permissions denied error 225 [03:38] bankix: thanks again so much for your help, you've been quite thorough in your setting me off in the right direction. and I'm not so frightened by scripts anymore, lol [03:38] queso_: For now, call the script before "exit 0" in /etc/rc.local. [03:39] when i ran nvidia-xconfig i get this http://pastebin.ca/1518678 [03:39] Drained: can you paste your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file [03:39] yeah sure [03:39] gogeta: ??? [03:39] frisc0: sudo mount /dev/sdb /media/disk -o iocharset=utf8,umask=000,uid=1000 wheresdb is your flash drive and disk is your mount point [03:39] queso_: But first test it as root for a few times by calling it from commandline and checking the content of the autosuspend file. [03:39] mountainsun: a silly question: do you have the right permissions on the mount point (not the device) [03:39] ? [03:39] queso_: To be sure it works properly. [03:39] mdg: yea [03:39] bankix: okay, yes, I will be sure to do that [03:40] beep, heck no, thats the prob [03:40] ok so glipper blows [03:40] ctmj:http://pastebin.ca/1518684 [03:40] i "edited" them, and now cannot mount [03:40] Drained: try running it as root [03:40] it crashes everytime i boot my machine [03:40] i was already sudo Su [03:40] how does one set them back to normal in fstab or riht clicking on it (have it mounted in live cd session) [03:41] queso_: Have a closer look to the bash manpage. It's a programming manual. There you'll find things like "${name##pattern}" for string manipulation and much more. [03:42] uber_noober, how do you find sdb for the flash drive? I have plugged into flash drives.

[03:52] Drained: no still here where did you get the driver from? [03:53] The "hardware drivers" [03:53] in sys>admin> [03:53] what does this command do .... dpkg --get-selections | grep deinstall$ | cut -f1 | xargs sudo dpkg --purge [03:53] help me please [03:53] ctmjr: how do i uninstall the driver, maybe a fresh install of the driver will fix it. [03:54] Drained: in the hardware tab where you installed them from [03:54] anybody with the answer ? [03:55] i agree, or uncheck the box in add remove progrms [03:55] jayapura [03:55] everything started when i downloaded the drivers from nvidia's site. [03:55] X config kept getting screwed up :\ [03:55] Drained: you installed the hardware drivers and the drivers from nvidia? [03:56] i'm moving files on my ubuntu from one harddrive to anothere and some of the files don't copy and says input/output error what should I do? [03:56] i did both, seperatley. [03:56] Can anyone help me? [03:56] 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 any thoughts? [03:56] the hardware drivers tab would give me "backend problem" so i used nvidia's those failed, and i used the backup xconfig that fixed X [03:56] Drained: without uninstalling one first? [03:56] then i was able to install 180's [03:56] tubunu: that is a flaw in apt [03:57] Is everyone asking for help here? [03:57] i don't think the one from nvidia was installed. === Shu is now known as Shoe [03:57] bruenig: so they can't be removed at all? [03:57] what you guys think/ [03:57] tubunu: apt doesn't have the ability to group packages, so ubuntu gets around it by creating hackish meta-packages that poorly emulate groups but lead to dependency screw ups like the one you are experiencing. If it just says it will uninstall "gnome", then it is safe. As gnome is just one such metapackage. [03:57] i think i am having a problem with flash [03:58] tubunu: if it is trying to uninstall a bunch of stuff that depends on gnome as well, then you have to live with it [03:58] #security-shell [03:58] i'm moving files on my ubuntu from one harddrive to anothere and some of the files don't copy and says input/output error what should I do? [03:59] bruenig: I see, what package name to i have to make sure it doesn't uninstall so it keeps the gnome desktop environment? [03:59] Hey Ctmjr do you think a reinstall of ubuntu will help? it's a problem i dont want to go through to fix since ive spent all day trying to fix it. [03:59] Drained: ok this is what you need to do uninstall everything you installed (nvidia) then run this sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg, then reboot and try the drivers from ubuntu again [03:59] I just finished installing Ubuntu. My computer does not connect to the internet automatically, I have to put a wireless USB adapter into it to connect to the internet. But, when I put in my installation CD, it doesn't autorun. So I explored the disk, and it had 8 options, none of which did anything, or had an error. So how can I install the software so I can use this shit? [03:59] well hello again to all well i read alot of stuff on how to install the flash driver and for some reson i cant get it to work what happend was i had version 8.04 and disided to switch to 9.04 and then didnt really like it and couldnt get flash to work on it so i came back and now i cant get it to work for me on 8.04 aswell so help is would be nis [03:59] ctmjr: how do i uninstall something that isn't installed?

Tried this via gui. I cd into local/share/Trash/files folder and did ls -lart, but application/octet-stream file doesn't show up. Why and how to fix?

In the trash I have some application/octet-steam file in it and root as the owner of the file. [04:05] Search for Ndisgtk [04:05] and if it turns up no result scroll to the "N" parts [04:05] and find it manually [04:05] what does broken dependencies mean any one know [04:06] and if it STILL doesn't show up you'll have to add the CD [04:06] frisc0: Try restoring the file then unmoun the drive [04:06] Shoe : Edit "add CD" [04:06] Shoe: sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 [04:06] he can't do that he has no internet connection.. [04:07] Casey: it could possibly a filesystem issue, but hard disk drives also like to physically fail. [04:07] Drained: its the same as synaptic... [04:07] I'm adding the CD [04:07] no it's not. [04:07] if the package doesn't exist because it hasn't been added, it wont find it. [04:07] (it didn't show up on search or manually) [04:07] same as synaptic [04:07] how to start broadband on bt4? [04:08] ITS COMPLETLEY diffrent, ive gone through to process. [04:08] Shoe: did you have the ubuntu cd inside the cdrom tray?

[04:16] !fsck | Casey [04:16] Casey: 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 [04:16] Can anyone help me with this '"sh" shell thing? I cant understand it. Isnt the default shell bash in ubuntu?? [04:17] DRAINED [04:17] hisham: dash is the default shell in Ubuntu now [04:17] danbhfive [04:17] ok [04:17] hisham: I think sh is just a posix compliant shell, ie, less features that bash [04:17] Shoe, ndiswrapper is already installed [04:17] now you need the .inf and .sys file for your wireless adapter. [04:17] I don't know what that means [04:18] Oh [04:18] So, put the installation CD back in? [04:18] /bin/sh is dash [04:18] danbhfive: so which is good for shell scripting? BASH? CSH? KORN? [04:18] yeah you need to find the driver files [04:18] not the setup.exe [04:19] i guess mplayer doesn't allow configuring shortcut keys, but Kmplayer does [04:19] thus, kmplayer is best mplayer [04:19] What do I put in the terminal again to exit CD? [04:19] any of you use coreavc with mplayer? [04:19] sudo eject [04:19] thank you [04:19] hisham: I think bash is fairly popular. Most tutorials use bash. beyond that, I dunno. All the shells are supposed to be posix compliant (a standard), so for scripting, it may not matter that much.

[05:31] beep, but at this point i'm about to put a fist through my monitor, so i'm going to probably do that [05:31] streblo: ok, so lets go back to basics.... the user that your script runs as must have write access to the file. Does it work on a file owned by your user?

[05:33] mechtech: i dont think its network manager it is just the basic lower right thing in mint [05:33] firecrotch, my user apparently does not have write access to the file, because i get an IOError from python telling me that i dont have sufficient priviledges [05:33] how do i change ubuntu terminal color?

Not related to your question, of course. [05:42] can anyone tell me how to booy a live ubuntu in text mode??? [05:42] streblo: that's weird... that also says to me that the file is owned by root?

[05:46] i cant freaking mkdir without sudo-ing first [05:47] my s-u-d-o keys are going to wear out [05:47] streblo: if you're working with files/directories that you don't have permission to do those things with, that's going to happen [05:47] streblo: "ls -al ~/" is owned by your username + group? [05:47] streblo: I'm pretty sure /var/www is supposed to be owned by the www-data group, or something like that, which you can add yourself to [05:47] leaf-sheep: i'll look some more on ubuntu forums. thank you. [05:47] is it a good idea to have a "volatile" sources in the sources.list file if i'm running a firewall? [05:47] leaf-sheep, correct, its owned by my user [05:48] streblo: you *could* do "sudo su -l" which will give you a terminal as the root user [05:48] how to add a command like /opt/lampp/lampp start to the boot sequence? bum not allows me to add new commands [05:48] streblo: again though, not recommended [05:48] streblo: Group too? [05:48] firecrotch, what i'd like to do is what crdlb suggested, which is to add myself to the group that controls the files in /var/www so that i can create files there [05:49] leaf-sheep: I don't think he's having any problems with ~, only /var/www [05:49] streblo: everything in /var/www SHOULD be owned by www-data and group www-data [05:49] crdlb: Ahh I see. That's root. :3 [05:49] is there a mepis or antic xchat??? [05:50] harryantix: What do you mean? [05:50] i'm adding my user to www-data in that case [05:50] streblo: sudo usermod -G www-data -a should add you to the proper group for working with files in /var/www (you'll need to log out and back in) [05:50] to get help with mepis or antix linux [05:51] harry__: #mepis === isilion is now known as felix___ [05:51] harry__: although from the looks of it, #mepis is pretty empty. try #linux for general Linux support [05:52] ok [05:52] first off [05:52] i added the path to my root's pythonpath [05:52] harryantix: You should check out their offical site to find where IRC supports resides at (if any). [05:52] i still get an import error [05:52] i also added my user to www-data [05:52] still get an IOError [05:53] i think i need to go home and drink [05:53] Where is the log of updates recently done? And how do I tell folks that their proposed update introduced a regression? [05:53] can anyone tell me how to booy a live ubuntu in text mode??? [05:53] and i did log out and log back in [05:53] streblo: sometimes that's the best solution ;) [05:53] can anyone tell me how to boot a live ubuntu in text mode??? [05:53] I would like to setup file sharing in samba [05:53] the problem is [05:54] !repeat | julio_ [05:54] julio_: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. [05:54] i have to add this script to the crontab [05:54] so that at 9am tomorrow morning, it runs [05:54] i have 11 hours [05:54] my bad, it was misspelled [05:54] dont get mad :p [05:54] I'm not mad (at you)... I *am* mad at whoever made my touchpad die >:D [05:54] How to extract rar file on ubuntu? [05:55] streblo: what does ls -ld /var/www say the owner and group are? === nabeel is now known as Guest72793 [05:55] adeodatus: I think gzip handles that [05:55] just curious, is there a way to configure gnome-terminal to always just show "foo@bar:$" for the prompt instead of "foo@bar:full path to working directory$"? [05:55] could be wrong [05:56] crdlb, root root [05:56] li_bai: Yes, there is. Google is your friend, there are excellent tutorials out there (though usually making the opposite change) [05:56] streblo: it's www-data www-data on my hardy machine [05:57] li_bai: you'll have to edit your .bashrc file - it has plenty of comments that should help you find your way [05:57] crdlb, any reason why there's a difference? [05:57] firecrotch: thanks [05:57] Where is the log of recent apt-get install/upgrades kept? [05:58] ekimmargni: Probably in /var/log [05:58] ekimmargni: or u can try -v [05:58] thx, and how do I tell a developer that their proposed update introduced a regression? [05:58] li_bai, http://www.linuxselfhelp.com/howtos/Bash-Prompt/Bash-Prompt-HOWTO-2.html [05:58] ekimmargni: There are Log Viewer app that you could use too . [05:58] li_bai: the variable PS1 is what determines your prompt, by the way, so that's what you'll want to change [05:58] is there a way I can tell Xchat to stop connecting me to this channel on startup? [05:59] leaf-sheep: that requires a mouse, which the update broke (*stab*) [05:59] also whilst I am here is there a way I can find out what is wrong with Shiretoko [05:59] curtis_: Change the XChat settings. [05:59] curtis_: You don't like us? :'( [05:59] curtis_: #xchat [05:59] curtis_: What's wrong with Shiretoko? o.O [05:59] oh no I love you guys I just have minimal issues currently with ubuntu [05:59] ekimmargni: :( [06:00] well for some reason it runs for about a minute and ten it closes randomly, giving no explanation of why, or any indication other than (obviously) the window is entirely gone [06:00] curtis_: same for me (although 3.whatever does that too) [06:01] 3.08 works for me just fine [06:01] problem is I need Mozilla Weave to sync my profiles accross the five OS's I have installed on my computer [06:01] i'm still absolutely baffled by why this script is getting IOErrors [06:01] and Weave for some reason is only compatible with 3.5 and up [06:02] curtis_: I use Xmarks for that. === cryptide is now known as cryptide_away [06:02] ok, I've tried installing 9.04 64-bit twice, but I've run into two errors, which I believe are due to bad sectors. Shouldn't re-formatting usng ext4 set those bad sectors aside? [06:02] Xmarks? [06:02] How to extract rar file from console on ubuntu? [06:02] Condoulo: yes it should, unless it's in fact not bad sectors and something else instead [06:02] curtis_, hmmm... =/ I just burned the CD so I'm not sure its any scratches or anything on the disc [06:02] I might just stick around in this room it appears there are questions I might actually be able to help with [06:03] curtis_: Yes. It syncs mostly bookmarks + passwords. Not sure about extensions though. I just use sync .mozilla at first install. === evilChari is now known as charitwo [06:03] streblo: apparently root is the default, but you can change it with chown (-R). the reason seems to be that it prevents a hijacked cgi script from deleting your webpages (apache running as www-data won't be able to delete something owned by root) [06:03] Condoulo: I'd suggest reburning the ISO (sometimes they can be annoying just for shits and giggles) and trying again, if you still have a problems it is either the drive, you not being 64-bit compatible for some piece of hardware, or something I've never heard of [06:04] Condoulo: Did you ran md5sum after you download an ISO? [06:04] !md5sum | Condoulo [06:04] Condoulo: To verify the integrity of a download, use the md5sum - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM for more [06:04] leaf-sheep, no =/ normally I haven't had this issue [06:04] curtis_, well, all my hardware should be 64-bit compatible [06:04] Condoulo: How do you know if you don't have corrupted ISO? :) [06:05] leaf-sheep: That's going to help a lot, since it's mostly the plethora of passwords that I hate typing in that's the issue here [06:05] netsplit? [06:06] danbhfive [06:06] shit [06:06] Can someone help me? [06:06] curtis_: Just copy .mozilla to other *nix at first install, then you'll have everything. Use XMarks to sync passwords + bookmarks. You'll have minimal problems. Also, I hate some XMark features that "ads" all over you. Just toggle them off. [06:06] if it fails this time around I'm re-burning the disc =. [06:06] Shu: Only if you quit saying bad things. What problem? ;o [06:07] Yeah but leaf-sheep the problem is that I have Windows Vista, Windows 7. Mac OSX Leopard, Debian, Ubuntu, and Fedora [06:07] !ask| Shu [06:07] Shu: 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. :-) [06:07] curtis_: XMarks is Firefox Addon. It seems like you'll have to install extensions manually but that shouldn't be an issue. [06:07] curtis_, how did you get windows7??? [06:08] mezquitale: public beta probably [06:08] I need to know how to install stuff! Ubuntu is so confusing! Like, when I click install to install the newest version of firefox (or any program for that matter) i'll select run and it will auto choose the program to run it with, then I get an error when I try to run it. Also, the plugins that I need to watch videos from youtube etc. won't download [06:08] firecrotch: I hope so. ^^ [06:08] Hello , how i can findout which type of system i am using (64 bit or 32) from the terminal ? [06:08] Shu: ubuntu is great for that [06:08] leaf-sheep: I like to assume the best of the members of the Ubuntu community :) [06:09] For what, shoving sticks up orifices? [06:09] viki27: dpkg --print-architecture is one way [06:09] Shu, one step at a time please, first which program would you like to install? [06:09] X-Chat [06:09] alright, last question for the night [06:09] (This is on a different computer form the one with Ubuntu [06:09] !language > Shu [06:09] Shu, please see my private message [06:09] viki27: uname -a [06:09] how can i tell if a process i told crontab to run is actually running? [06:10] Didn't know about the language [06:10] Sorry [06:10] streblo: it should show up in the syslog [06:10] Anyways, mezquitale, what do I do? [06:10] the error I get when installing: Errno 30 read-only file system [06:11] Is that due to a bad dissc ^ [06:11] More importantly, what program do I run all of these things with? [06:11] Shu: type this into a terminal "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install x-chat-gnome [06:11] I had jaunty-proposed in sources.list - I've removed that, how can I force (up|down)grade to the jaunty-updates version of everything? [06:11] curtis_: x-chat-gnome is terrible, IMO. ;( [06:11] curtis [06:11] xchat-gnome is a crime against humanity [06:11] firecrotch, this is a dumb question, but where the hell is the syslog? [06:11] leaf-sheep: try konversation [06:11] That computer can not have internet while this one does [06:11] Does that matter? [06:12] whoever had that idea should be banned from contributing to ubuntu without someone looking over their shoulder [06:12] streblo: same place as all the other logs... /var/log/ [06:12] Qu4R0w: Using KDE4? Video + Sound resolved yet? === stew is now known as Guest26458 [06:12] also, if you go to System, Administrator, and then Synaptic Package Manager, and begin to type a program in the search bar, you will usually find it and be able to install it from there [06:12] firecrotch, oh [06:12] Shu, first go to "software sources" in "System-->Administration" and enable universe, restricted, and multiverse [06:12] it will do everything for you [06:12] logs always lies in /var/log , man :D [06:12] Shu, are you serious? [06:12] Shu computer can not internet,try use Ubuntu DVD install [06:12] leaf-sheep: me on fluxbox..i dun like gnome [06:12] You can't install a program without the packages already downloaded [06:12] Shu, xchat-gnome is almost as hideous as redmond [06:13] make, I have only one USB wireless adapter, so I can only be on my laptop or computer at a time, not both [06:13] anyone..how can i make local ubuntu repo. on hard disc and acess it to install applications wen i have some .deb pacages.. [06:13] this is just a general question, but how the hell do you guys know so much about linux [06:13] also [06:13] mezquitale, [06:14] streblo: from using it daily for the past 3 years :) from breaking everything possible and then fixing it [06:14] how do I enable universe, restricted, and multiverse? [06:14] streblo: You learn by using linux for everything. [06:14] i want to do that, but honestly, i cant even figure out how to run a script [06:15] curtis_, what? [06:15] its taken me 4 hours to get this script to run, and it still doesnt run [06:15] streblo: I even have linux for my Home Theater PC so I can watch movies on big screen too. If you're curious, google XBMC :) [06:15] @streblo : you should first find a book and start reading :D [06:15] streblo: What script? [06:15] books are complete crap for learning Linux. Learn by doing. === sigit is now known as ak4tsuk1 [06:15] leaf-sheep, the one ive been asking questions about for the last 4 hours, the one thats trying to write an index.html file in /var/www [06:15] Ugh [06:16] Okay, someone else will have to help me, since the people I asked all stopped talking [06:16] ...but doing without reading doesn't help us understand problem deeply :D === user101 is now known as user10 [06:16] streblo: gksudo gedit /var/www/index.html --> Write HTML codes in it. [06:16] How do I download and install stuff? Ubuntu doesn't make any sense [06:16] Shu, first go to "software sources" in "System-->Administration" and enable universe, restricted, and multiverse == READ the text and click on the squares [06:17] Shu, click on "software sources", you can enable all of those in "software sources" [06:17] mezquitale, They are all already checked, and so is main [06:17] can some1 please help me with a harddrive space issue im having in jaunty? i have a raid 5 array with total usable space of 2.7TB, when i right click the array and go to properties it shows "contents, 50,439 items, totaling 633.2GB", then below it shows 949.1GB used, why the discrepancy? [06:17] Shu: You're new. It makes more sense to install everything from verified servers (for security and cleanness) as oppose to download what you can find out in the wild malicious Internet. [06:17] If i want to upload logs to my computer as a server, could I just use lighttpd? [06:17] o_o [06:17] Shu, now click on "Add/remove" and install xchat [06:17] k [06:18] leaf-sheep, I'm not a down syndromed kid. I'm just new to Ubuntu [06:18] leaf-sheep, the script pulls stuff out of our database and then writes it [06:18] can i install vista on my ubuntu? [06:18] wizzer: That makes no sense at all... lighttpd wouldn't be used to upload anything.... [06:18] leaf-sheep, and i'd like this script to be run by cron every morning [06:18] IceCreamPaintJob: Say my nickname. Please. [06:18] No, i mean would lighttpd accept it [06:18] IceCreamPaintJob: Do you mean as a dual-boot? or virtualized (the answer is yes to both) [06:18] streblo: See #ubuntu-server too. [06:19] nah im just fucking with you [06:19] my first time here [06:19] !language [06:19] Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [06:19] oh [06:19] My router has the ability to log to a remote system, I was wondering what I would need on this end for the router to send the logs. [06:19] leaf-sheep, no, this problem has no solution, ive determined. the correct solution is to stop writing code and to quit my job [06:19] well firecrotch, look at your nick [06:19] lmao [06:19] mezquitale, I just go to download Xchat, save to my desktop,and then what? [06:19] IceCreamPaintJob: true true [06:19] streblo: Meh. That's not a good solution. Although you'd have more free time now. [06:20] :p [06:20] wizzer, configure the machine that will be doing the logging with a static ip, then go to your router and configure the IP on the router [06:20] wizzer: have your router upload it's logs to /var/www [06:20] Shu, it is in the rpositories [06:20] hey [06:20] repsotories* [06:20] leaf-sheep, ive been trying to get this to run for hours. ive tried everyone's suggestions. i'm out of ideas. at least before i had thoughts about how i could make it work. [06:20] streblo: I don't know about databases. However, #ubuntu-server is slow traffic and people there are more generally knowledge with servers. Just telling you. [06:20] wizzer: I assume that your router can log to a syslogd server then... you'll need a syslogd service running on your server [06:20] Shu, you have to be specific in what youre trying to accomplish. Do you want to install software on a machine that is connected to the internet??? [06:20] Ok that's what i needed, couldn't think of syslogd [06:21] I'm on a fresh install, created a logical volume group and mounted /home to it, and the auto-tab completion within a terminal seems to be broken, foolishly i did not backup the /home/user it gave me, anyone know how to fix that? [06:21] leaf-sheep, the issue isnt that i cant connect to our db. the issue is still that i dont have permission to write to a file in /var/www [06:21] streblo: Change the permissions to www-data for user + groups? [06:21] leaf-sheep, done that [06:21] IIIt's not connected currently, since I'm on my laptop, but if I get off the internet on my laptop I can get onto the internet on my computer [06:21] i also added my user to the root and www-data groups [06:21] I only have one wirless internet adapter see [06:22] and I have no idea what repositories are [06:22] Shu, what is the file type [06:22] streblo: cronjobs are generally done in root admin, I believe. [06:22] is there a way to have different background and files in each gnome workspace? [06:22] Shu: If you have a crossover cable (or a switch or hub and 2 patch cables) you could pull off some networking trickery and allow both to access the net at the same time... [06:22] OK so disconnect your laptop and connect the laptop that needs the software, that is the easiest way. If you want to do it your way I will give you a hint, you need to download the .deb package for xchat. [06:22] Shu try to manually download essentials package from internet or use a DVD instead :s [06:23] streblo: If you're running this (not in root), then that's problem because you don't want any intervenes in first place. [06:23] Oh my god [06:23] I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT [06:23] can some1 please help me with a harddrive space issue im having in jaunty? i have a raid 5 array with total usable space of 2.7TB, when i right click the array and go to properties it shows "contents, 50,439 items, totalling 633.2GB", then below it shows 949.1GB used, why the discrepancy? [06:23] leaf-sheep, when i run this in root i get an import error [06:23] when i run it with my default user, i get an io error [06:23] the import error also baffles me [06:23] because the python paths are identical for both users [06:23] I just got Ubuntu today, and have practically no knowledge of it, only that someone reccommended that I use it because it speeds up my computer [06:23] Shu, how did you install xchat on your laptop? [06:24] hi all [06:24] just trying xchat [06:24] :0 [06:24] :) [06:24] robertrahardja: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:24] Shu: you do not download and then install packages in ubuntu like you did in windows. You access a library called a repository and the software is automatically downloaded and installed from those. [06:24] streblo: I don't know python myself. :3 [06:24] I have windows on my laptop. I just downloaded, and then installed when the installer was downloaded to my desktop [06:24] Shu it helps if you log on to #ubuntu with ubuntu [06:25] streblo: You google the import error yet? Jw. [06:25] Well, I cant really do that since I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DOWNLOAD IT! [06:25] Shu: if you can't figure out your wireless adapter in ubuntu try googling for a solution then come back [06:25] leaf-sheep, the import error suggests that a library that i'm trying to import is not being found, which means its not in my python path. however, my .bashrc files for both users are identical [06:25] bucky, I hate you [06:25] !google | bucky [06:25] bucky: While Google is useful for helpers, many newer users don't have the google-fu yet. Please don't tell people to "google it" when they ask a question. [06:25] menu>ad, remove programs, do a search for xcaht [06:25] My internet already works on ubuntu. I had another guy walk me through it [06:26] leaf-sheep, both .bashrc files append my libraries to the python path, yet the superuser cant find them [06:26] Shu, turn on your other machine with ubuntu and go over the things I just described. With ubuntu you dont have to download anything and run an "exe" file. All you have to do is go to "add/remove" search for xchat and install the software, it is really that easy [06:26] Wait wait wait === gaurav_ is now known as Guest10457 [06:26] streblo: You use full path, I'm assuming. You can use "locate filename" to reveal paths. [06:26] leaf-sheep, i'm using the full path [06:26] I'm getting the same error with another disc - Errno 30 Read-only file system [06:26] i've used this method everywhere [06:26] open a terminal and type "udo apt-get install xchat [06:26] streblo: What's the path? [06:26] anyone..how can i make local ubuntu repo. on hard disc and acess it to install applications wen i have some .deb pacages.. [06:26] sud0* [06:26] export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/home/myuser/dev [06:27] sudo* [06:27] that line is in both my .bashrc files [06:27] mezquitale, if I go to, say, download Xchat from a link on the internet, I would click save to desktop, then after it finishes putting it onto my desktop, I go to add/remove, select XChat, and then....? [06:27] I recently noticed that my CPU usages is out of hand. I noticed that overall my usage is 50 - 70 %, looking in system monitor it shows CPU1 is only really at 15-20% while CPU2 is at 80-90+.. what is eating up my CPU.. it shows compiz.real but I have the same settings and it was never this intensive [06:28] streblo: so did you source .bashrc to enable the change? [06:28] streblo: Try placing the script in /home/myuser/bin [06:28] streblo: I know they do accept /home/myuser/bin/ already. [06:28] streblo: Configuring is always tricky. [06:29] do you think trying to separate / with /home will caues issues w/ permissions and installing Ubuntu 64-bit? [06:29] Condoulo: having / and /home on separate partitions shouldn't cause any sort of permissions issue [06:29] Shu, no. You are not listening. In order to install software you can do it 2 ways. One, connect your machine to the internet then go to "add/remove" and install whatever you want. The other choice is to download the "exe" file for ubuntu, which is a ".deb" file. If you want to download the ".deb" file go to google and download the ".deb" file for xchat. Once you have the ".deb" file for xchat all you have to do is copy it to yo [06:29] ur system and click on it and it will install, just like wincrap [06:29] firecrotch, weird them. [06:29] !home | Condoulo [06:29] Condoulo: Your home directory is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home directory to a separate partition, please see: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome [06:29] *then [06:29] condoulo, no I am running 64 bit with seperate boot / and /home [06:29] Condoulo: It's just bunch of personal files + configuration files. Should be okay. [06:30] leaf-sheep, well, I keep getting issues errors such as "errno 30" [06:30] mezquitable, does the add/remove act like a internet search? Because if not, how could it install a program I havent already downloaded? [06:31] Shu: It downloads a list of all of the software that is available [06:31] Shu: add/remove downloads it for you, then it installs it for you [06:31] Condoulo: Error 30 in where? Grub? [06:31] leaf-sheep, no, in the installer [06:32] Well, thats what I needed to know. So if I'm connected to the internet, just search for any program I desire in add/remove and it will search the internet for me (just to be clear) [06:32] Shu, you are not listening. [06:32] If I install the ubuntu xen desktop package will that give me xen vm desktop capabilities? [06:32] I'm sorry mezquitale, it's 1:30 and I've been messing with this for hours [06:32] Shu: Yes. That's basically how it works. [06:32] leaf-sheep, no luck [06:32] Shu: it doesn't search the internet, it connects to a ubuntu-server, where the software is stored [06:32] i had to create /home/myuser/bin [06:33] Shu, i know youre just as surprised as I am but it's actually quite possible, not matter how much bill told you that it's not [06:33] leaf-sheep, I'll restart the installer, This is from another disc I burned a while back that had worked before on another system [06:33] bill.....? [06:33] Shu: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories is a pretty good read on this subject. [06:33] now the folder is owned by root [06:33] Shu, Add/Remove and Synaptic is a database of linux programs and such [06:33] okay [06:33] that clarifies so much [06:33] hey, where is the wallpapers folder on ubuntu hardy? [06:33] Now, next problem [06:33] good morning. I am trying to follow http://www.ubuntugeek.com/disable-synaptics-touchpad-while-typing-in-ubuntu.html and it said to make some changes to xorg.conf, so I did. but when I restarted, I was told it needed a Driver line. what do I need to put in the Driver line? [06:34] k2en_: /usr/share/pixmaps/ [06:34] Shu, connect your machine to the internet, go to "add/remove", search for the software that you want, and ubuntu will install it for you, no need to google for the file, download it, click on it, install it, nothing. Just connect your machine to the internet, go to "add/remove", and install, that's it!! No gimmicks!! No fraud!!! [06:34] Condoulo: Errno 30 during the install usually indicates that your hard drive is failing [06:34] suigeneris: syndaemon is probably better and easier [06:34] you know what, to hell with it. i'm just going to manually update index.html every morning when i get to work [06:35] leaf-sheep, thanks for your help [06:35] firecrotch, I honestly hope not. =/ [06:35] streblo: Sorry I can't really figure out how I can't help you. Also, I mentioned going to #ubuntu-server -- Not a lot of supports there and really slow traffic. If people know the answer, they'll tell you. [06:35] streblo: No problem. :| [06:35] When I try to watch a video on youtube, It'll say I have missing plugins that need to be installed. I click "Install missing plugins" and it gives me a list of 3 plugins. I choose the adobe one, and it gives me an error, yet still says it installed it, but when I refresh the page it says I am still mikssing the add-ons and when I click it all three options are still there [06:35] leaf-sheep, maybe i'll check that out tomorrow [06:35] firecrotch, wouldn't formatting set bad sectors aside though and anything like that [06:35] shu, add/remove search for flash [06:35] lasj, are you sure? i can't find it there.... [06:35] Shu, come back when you are on your ubuntu machine [06:36] Condoulo: The problem is likely more serious than a few bad sectors [06:36] Mike_lifeguard, it was also telling me to add syndaemon to startup programs. but it's useless I think without the change in xorg.conf [06:36] firecrotch, my HDD sounds healthy =/ [06:36] Oh, right. Well, now that I know how I'll go install xchat on my ubuntu machine [06:36] be back in a few [06:36] suigeneris: I don't think that's true [06:36] * bucky waves [06:36] lasj, there is something called "backgrouds " in there but its not the 3 wallpapers gnome offers in "appearance" [06:37] my raid5 array's properties shows "contents 50,575 items, totaling 647.3GB" then the pie chart and data to the right of it says "963.1GB" used, why the discrepancy?' [06:37] suigeneris: I certainly don't have anything in xorg.conf yet it works [06:37] Mike_lifeguard, from the page: Type in the following: syndaemon -i 1 -d [06:37] Condoulo: Is your hard drive an IDE hard drive and your disc drive SATA? [06:37] firecrotch, no, both my optical drive and my Hard Drive are SATA [06:38] copying files at 76% [06:38] suigeneris: yes... and? [06:38] hi there === Hamlin is now known as Hamlin|DEAD === Hamlin- is now known as Hamlin [06:39] Mike_lifeguard, so, that is true [06:39] now its at Creating user - hopefully it actually installs. last time I only ran into issues while Copying Files [06:39] does anyone have any ideas on receiving icecasts with mplayer? mplayer http://192.168.178.22 and mplayer ...adress:8000 won't work :-( [06:39] Help! The Package Manager was updating a bunch of packages with the system crashed. Now firefox and liferea segfault on loading... [06:39] suigeneris: That has nothing to do with xorg.conf [06:39] I've tried reinstalling firefox without luck [06:40] lordhedg1hog: tried sudo apt-get install --reinstall firefox? [06:40] (or similar) [06:40] Yes, didn't help at all. [06:41] Condoulo: the fact that is seems to be working now indicates to me that it's most likely a hardware issue. Maybe the optical drive is bad. [06:41] any error message? [06:41] Mike_lifeguard, on the first section of the page, there's the things to put in xorg.conf [06:41] No, I just get a segmentation fault if I load either from cli [06:41] suigeneris: I'm sure that's exactly what the page says. I'm saying the page is almost certainly wrong. [06:41] I meant error message after apt-get install [06:42] dirtbag666: No, it reinstalls just fine. [06:42] lordhedg1hog: what part of the install process did Synaptic crash during? [06:42] on the cli, how can i determine what items of hardware have driver issues so i can resolve them? [06:42] firecrotch: It said the acroread update hash didn't match, then the entire system froze solid [06:43] firecrotch: There were a lot of updates, tho', including firefox, that finished installing after reboot [06:43] guys anyone knows where hardy places the 'wallapers' folder at? [06:43] k2en_:/usr/share/backgrounds [06:44] I was wondering if the package manager kept a log of updates it did, so I could purge and reinstall those packages? [06:44] lasj, thanks [06:44] i need some orientation ...i want to change my THEME [06:44] Hi @all [06:44] could someone please tell me which script is handling monitor switching by function-key (fn-f7 with my thinkpad) under jaunty? [06:45] #ubuntu-ir [06:45] lordhedg1hog: there might be something in /var/log/apt/ [06:45] jonex_, right+click on you desktop>change desktop background>themes tab [06:46] thomthom: but if i wanna install a new one? [06:46] ... [06:46] lordhedg1hog: or /var/log/dpkg.log [06:46] term.log seems to log the complete output, I'm scanning it for errors now [06:47] if i plug into a usb drive into a headless system, does it automount/how do i mount it [06:47] drag and drop the tar.gz file to the themes area [06:47] ok can someone tell me if ubuntu-xen-desktop will give me a xen kernel? [06:48] Mike_lifeguard, oh, it had different instructions for intrepid and later [06:48] Okay, I'm on my Ubuntu computer [06:49] devians: sudo mount /dev/sdxy /mountpoint where x and y are the appropriate letter/number for the device [06:49] its a bad thing when your software buffer bottoms out on writing a cd, isnt it? [06:50] mezquitale, [06:50] I'm back [06:50] gartral: Yes [06:50] firecrotch: I see nothing bad in the logs. [06:50] Now, my only question was the one about how to install the plugins for youtube and such [06:51] Shoe: sudo aptitude install flashplugin-nonfree [06:51] firecrotch: even with a drive that caches data and has logical tracking? [06:51] hey evryone lol i need help still with adobe flash [06:51] add/remove and search for flash [06:51] or any kind of flash [06:51] lordhedg1hog: maybe try sudo apt-get purge firefox && apt-get install firefox [06:51] firecrotch: I'll try it, as1 [06:51] lordhedg1hog: that will completely remove the firefox package and redownload it [06:51] Hi, I'm trying to get my microphone to work on my Jaunty system. How should I have things setup in volume control in order to record from my microphone? [06:52] There are so many options, and some are a bit ambiguous. [06:52] ya i did that and it installed [06:52] !ask |Shoe [06:52] Shoe: 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. :-) [06:52] but web sites are still not working [06:52] zachinneed: The web sites are broken. :( [06:53] lol [06:53] Shoe, another way to install flash is to go to youtube.com and then click on the link where it tells you to download flash, click on the link and run it, an application will pop up and you select to install it, it's that easy [06:53] firecrotch: No luck. Tried the same with firefox-3.0 package also didn't work [06:53] zachinneed: Did you close Firefox and restart? [06:53] tried that [06:53] leaf-sheep, have you seen that youtube video :The Website is down" [06:53] Doesn't work [06:53] how would I do something similar to a disk check on Ubuntu? [06:53] thomthom: Maybe. I'm not sure. [06:53] That was my original problem [06:53] firecrotch: Based on the logs, the only things that updated were firefox, acroread, and a bunch of libboost libs [06:53] Ugh [06:54] I'll just search for flash [06:54] yes i closed it [06:54] Is there any command to unplug usb modem [06:54] and now it says that a file or something is broken [06:54] Fx has to be closed fo it to install correctly [06:54] does that sound right [06:54] zachinneed: 32 or 64? [06:54] 32 [06:54] zachinneed: What or who say? The website? The terminal? [06:55] my computer says [06:55] lordhedg1hog: have you tried apt-get -f install [06:55] well hold on and i will tell you what iit says [06:55] okay [06:55] Shoe, the way I just told you is easier, some of the flash software youll find in "add/remove" could be buggy, make sure you install the adobe version [06:55] hi [06:55] 你好 [06:56] is there something similar to chkdsk on Linux or anything I can use to find out if my HDD is dying on me? [06:56] firecrotch: Doesn't help [06:56] Hi everyone. I have a printer that OpenPrinting.org lists as a "paperweight", and another that's not listed on there at all. Does this mean that there's no way for me to get these printers to work with Ubuntu? [06:56] firecrotch: It seems to be installing just fine [06:56] oooo flash issues.. nasty [06:56] hi, anyone know of a way to get firefox 3.5 on jaunty to replace 3.0? [06:56] mezquitale, when I go to youtube, firefox drops a tab saying I have missing plugins. I click "install missing plugins." Then I click one of the three options, go to install it, and I get an error [06:56] * NemesisD hates firefox 3.0 [06:57] Nemesis: dont replace it, just install 3.5 and use it instead [06:57] I have an kernel module "ztemt.ko" [06:57] https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-mozilla-daily/+archive/ppa [06:57] Condoulo: If your hard drive supports SMART, smartmontools can tell you the status of your hard drive [06:57] Shoe, go to "add/remove" and install "Macromedia Flash Plugin" [06:57] Thank you [06:57] Condoulo: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Smartmontools [06:57] Whenever I try to install [06:57] getting error insmod: error inserting '/home/ibrar/Desktop/zte/usr/local/bin/ztemtEVDO/ztemt.ko': -1 Invalid module format [06:58] Both printers work fine on Windows, but the manufacturers don't support Linux, and I can't find Linux drivers... is there any way I can get these to work? maybe through wine (or something else) using the Windows drivers? [06:58] NemesisD: ls -l firefox* (I'm sure you can figure out the rest, I hope). [06:58] NemesisD: Err... in /usr/bin/ [06:58] shelah: What models are the printers? [06:59] zachinneed: This probably should solve your issue with Flash --> http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-install-flash-player-10.html [06:59] shelah: also, I've known OpenPrinting.org to be completely wrong in the past [06:59] mezquitale, what do I use? All available applications? All open source applications, etc? [07:00] okay im back i whent to the adobe web site downloaded the newest version and it whent along good untill install then it comes up error: dependency is not satisfable: libnspr 4-v [07:00] shelah, if you are running CUPS go to http://localhost:631 to config your printers [07:00] where do i find the script, that toogles display and is run when pressing fn-f7 on a thinkpad. /etc/acpi/videobtn.sh only does "acpi_fakekey $KEY_VIDEOOUT" [07:00] firecrotch: Canon MF5750 and Konica 7145 (the Konica is a $3,000 office printer/copier/etc with half a dozen trays)) [07:00] use "All available applications" [07:00] firecrotch: Just noticed it also updated libc6; reinstall that now [07:00] There's an kernel upgrade from 2.6.28-13 to -14? Is there an easy place to find the changelog on the web (the 9.04 system in questions is a customer's, I don't have one handy) [07:00] theatro: sorry, don't know what CUPS is, so I'm not using it unless it ships with Ubuntu [07:00] lordhedg1hog: that could definitely be the cause [07:01] firecrotch: Darn, no luck there. Forced a redownload and all. [07:01] leaf-sheep: sudo ln -s /usr/bin/firefox-3.5 /usr/bin/firefox ? [07:01] NemesisD: Sounds about right. You might want to remove firefox first then link it. [07:01] hi there [07:01] firecrotch: I must have a bad lib somewhere since more than one app is segfaulting [07:01] Shoe, use "All available applications" [07:01] i dont get it i did everything the same as last time but this time it wont come up [07:02] Well, when I use that, not even Macromedia yields any results mezquitale [07:02] 2.6.31-4-generic #23-Ubuntu SMP Mon Jul 27 18:39:59 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux [07:02] man acroread is enormous [07:02] firecrotch: Is there an easy way to see what libs an app is calling, since liferea probably calls far fewer than firefox? [07:02] I'm trying to use Evolution for my Exchange mail account ... and it's *really* slow with the folder refreshing. It takes minutes ... Is this normal? [07:02] lordhedg1hog: ldd [07:02] lordhedg1hog: Also ltrace [07:02] so if i reinstall 8.04 do you think that i would be able to do it right [07:02] fuck [07:02] !language [07:02] Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [07:02] lordhedg1hog: The latter is better for tracing specific calls. [07:02] Shoe, go to "Update manager" in "system-->administration". Update your system and come back later in the morning [07:03] or well what is the right way to do it [07:03] shoe [07:03] It takes that long mezquitale? [07:03] What joel__ [07:03] shoe [07:04] what [07:04] Anybody here experienced with git? To update in git folder, I do what? [07:04] leaf-sheep: what do you mean update in git folder? [07:04] Shoe, it all depends on your internet connection [07:04] leaf-sheep: like pull from another repo and merge? [07:05] you can also install the software using the command line which is a LOT easier, if you want to learn how to do that [07:05] how do you update a shoe? [07:05] NemesisD: I have a git folder and I'd like to sync'd to latest one. I looked up and get "git pull" -- I wanted confirmation. [07:05] you're retarded [07:05] leaf-sheep: yeah git pull is usually what you want, it does git-fetch and git-merge [07:05] !ask | joel__ [07:05] joel__: 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. :-) [07:05] NemesisD: Thanks. I need to learn how to use git more. :) [07:05] there's also rebase but that makes funny burning smells come from my brain [07:05] !ot [07:05] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[07:16] -1 for me no free internet [07:17] KittyBoots: if this "icloud" thing is a web browser applet, then you also have to install "sun-java6-plugin" (or something like that), to get the plugin in the browser.

[07:20] virtualbox,how can i share folder between ubuntu as host and xp as guest ? [07:20] is GRUb the last thing an install configures? [07:20] bindaas: samba [07:21] My microphone stopped working when I upgraded to Hardy, and has never worked since. Googling and Cuilling haven't found The Clue yet. Any recommended HOWTOs or documents for somebody who doesn't know what 'PCM' stands for but likes the command line? [07:21] ok, I got this error the install: subprocess post-removal script returned error exist status 30 [07:22] at 96% [07:22] firecrotch: do i really need samba ,btw i don't have any network ? [07:22] I have Ultimate Edition 2.3 AKA Ubuntu 9.04 on my acer aspire one and I put a DVD+RW into my usb drive and I can't seem to use the RW part of my disk, why is that [07:23] !ultimate | ShapeShifter499 [07:23] ShapeShifter499: The following are some examples of Ubuntu derived distributions that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes; please consult their websites for more information: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mintsupport), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), Ultimate Edition [07:23] quick question im having problems with usb transfer speeds how can i tell what speed the system has used when mounting it? I'm reading the bug report for it but it starts in ubuntu 7.10 and it seems to have been moved [07:23] I am new to Linux... What is a .tgz and how do i install its contents [07:23] kasc:Onboard the Intel 965 mobo. [07:23] bindaas: as far as I know, that's the only way to share files between an XP guest with a Ubuntu host. Even if the machine is not connected to a network, there is a virtual network created between the host and guest [07:23] ShapeShifter499: are you sure the diskdrive can handle +RWs? [07:23] yes [07:24] ShapeShifter499: Ultimate Edition isn't supported here, you'll need to take it to their support channels. [07:24] ShapeShifter499: try clearing the disk with wodim in the terminal.. [07:24] firecrotch: thanks ! [07:25] Flannel: common! its basically ubuntu with some add-ons [07:25] Leviathan185: a .tgz file is a compressed archive, similar to a .zip archive (different compression algorithm). As for installing from one, you should not have to under most circumstances. Nearly all the software that you'll want to install can be found in Add/Remove Programs [07:25] where can I find older versions of the fglrx driver? [07:25] ShapeShifter499: No, it's really not. There's some major changes to some of the subsystems. [07:25] bindaas: You're welcome! :) [07:25] Flannel: they don't have support irc channels i don't think [07:26] gartral: I'll try that [07:26] ShapeShifter499: firstoff.. try wodim -prcap [07:27] Flannel: what are some of the changes, I've used ubuntu vanilla(original install) and I haven't seen much difference. [07:27] gartral: ok [07:27] firecrotch: I am trying to install eclipse and the version I have installed through add/remove will not allow me to add the php add-on for some reason so I am tryig to install the complete package from pulse [07:28] ShapeShifter499: I don't have them handy, but the guy who keeps it doesn't have the best grasp on best practices. [07:30] gartral: I'm getting problems, here--------> http://paste.ubuntu.com/247777/ [07:30] Leviathan185, if you try to install eclipse, I guess you need just unpack archive and start the application from unpacked folder [07:31] vital: please forgive me I am a noob to linux. how do i install once unpacked? [07:31] omg boxxy [07:31] alucard: Did you follow all of the steps here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP#After%20installing%20MySQL ? [07:31] ShapeShifter499: sudo wodim -prcap [07:32] Leviathan185, you can put into filesystem and add it into path [07:32] I did that all ready, look at bottom of the link I gave [07:32] Hi there. [07:32] vital: to which path? [07:33] Leviathan185, but also you can start it directly from unpacked folder without "installing" [07:34] gartral: I did that all ready, look at bottom of the link I gave [07:34] I'm using Ubuntu 9.04 and in my Software Sources I had previously setup "Download from: Server for Portugal". I tried changing it to "Main Server" to see how the speed was, and then the option to download from the Portuguese server vanished. Is there anyway to bring it back? [07:34] Leviathan185, for instance: sudo mkdir -p /opt/sun ; sudo cp /opt/sun [07:35] where are bash aliases stored? I've tried .bashrc .profile and a few others but cant seem to figure it out [07:35] Leviathan185, sudo ln -s /opt/sun/eclipse/ /usr/local/bin [07:35] ShapeShifter499: did you remember to unmount the disk defore you tryed this? [07:35] Leviathan185, better sudo ln -s /opt/sun/eclipse/ /usr/local/bin/eclipse [07:35] gartral: ok hold on...... [07:36] Leviathan185, then you can start it with "eclipse" from shell [07:36] Good day! I have a annoying problem. Everytime I play a game, my PC frezzes. [07:36] I give more details now... [07:36] where are bash aliases stored? google is failing me [07:37] For example: If I play ATITD (A tale in the Desert) my PC crashes. Everything stops but I can still move the cursor for a while, after that, the cursor freezes as well. [07:37] brand0con: ~/.bashrc and ~/.profiles for user stuffs, global stuff is also in /etc/bash.bashrc [07:37] gartral: ok got it to work, now what? am I done [07:37] ? [07:37] /home/user/.bashrc [07:37] There are cases when the screen blinks a black screen and then it crashes. === Mike_lifeguard is now known as Mike||gone [07:38] ShapeShifter499: after an unmount do a sudo wodim -prcap if the drive checks out, do a sudo wodim blank all and WAIT.. if that fails.. sudo wodim blank -force but be CAREFUL i cant *NOT* stress how dangorus the -force flas is!!! [07:38] But now the gaming become fully unplayable. Everytime I log into the game, it crashes. [07:38] um, anyone can tell me why i cant execute any command after i launched firefox from terminal until i closed it? [07:38] gartral: ok! [07:38] horison: You need to launch firefox like this... "firefox &" [07:39] Someone at least is reading what I'm typing? [07:39] oh, ya i tried it and it works, but some time i forgot to type the & and it stuck there... [07:39] can tell me any way to stop it? [07:39] horison: Ctrl + C [07:40] horison: This kills firefox. [07:40] wah,tq2 [07:40] horison: Ctrl + Z stops firefox.

Preferably c/c++ [07:42] and maybe a midi track maker or sound tracker type tool [07:42] question: i have ubuntu 9.04 installed. i don't know what happened but all of the sudden, when i plug my usb drive in, nothing shows up on my desktop. please help. thanks! [07:42] kamen: The gaming became fully unplayable.

[08:15] plagueusr you can pm me if you want [08:15] Can anyone tell me if Ubuntu desktop can log on to a PDC?? [08:16] shay26, environment variable CC [08:16] you can put CC= gcc in your makefile too [08:17] theatro: i installed g++-4.1 on my ubuntu , and i would like to tell the make command to use this version , can you give me example how i can do that ? [08:17] I tried to kdesudo dolphin but I got: "Couldn't not start process Cannot talk to klauncher: the name org,k... not provided by any .service file" [08:18] shay26: 'make -e CC=/path/to/g++' should work. If they use CC for the compiler [08:18] Hi! Is it possible to backup a linux/windows partition into a single file, so that it can be mounted from it? [08:18] shay26: Why do you not want to edit the Makefile though? [08:19] Can anyone tell me if Ubuntu desktop can log on to a PDC??(UBUNTU server running ebox) [08:19] PDC [08:19] sounds like NT domain [08:20] the ubuntu ebox can act like PDC which is a NT Domain [08:21] I'm just wondering if the ubuntu desktop can log on to a PDC. [08:21] edy [08:23] The problem is, I have two drives, one that easily fits all the content of the other. I would like to keep the contents of the smaller drive as they are, for later inspection, and empty the drive for other uses. I thought it would be best if I could just get the partitions from the smaller drive as files on the larger drive, so that I could directly mount the files when I need to examine the contents (not having to bother with backup/restore). I don't need to wri [08:24] I tried to kdesudo dolphin but I got: "Couldn't not start process Cannot talk to klauncher: the name org,k... not provided by any .service file" [08:24] (In fact, is it even possible to "mount" a file...?) [08:25] hi [08:26] ohaider [08:26] About how up-to-date is Ubuntu? [08:26] can someone help me with getting compiz 3D desktop effects working? [08:26] I guess I could just copy all the files, but I don't want to clutter the files system, and one of the partitions is ntfs so I figure there might be problems with file names and such. [08:26] On a score of 1 to 10, with '10' being Arch/Fedora and '1' being RHEL [08:26] Ileden: You can mount files, yes [08:26] Baconizer: what do you mean up-to-date? [08:27] Ileden: up-to-date packages [08:27] Like the latest version of Python and such [08:27] Ileden: Are they images of entire drives or one and one partition? [08:27] I'm gonna try switching over to Ubuntu from Fedora tomorrow [08:27] I'm just curious [08:27] I'm used to having up-to-date stuffs :P === k is now known as Guest20120 [08:28] geirha: well right now I have 3 partitions, one of them ntfs, that i would like to copy as files (so I can release the hard disk to other uses) [08:28] I heard Ubuntu sort of lagged behind in the "latest packages" department, but that was from someone who didn't like Ubuntu ... [08:29] barg [08:29] Never mind :P [08:29] Baconizer: compared to debian unstable that's true, but that's not true if you compare to debian stable [08:29] Baconizer: as far as I know it does, but I think you can also make it update to the latest developement build [08:29] Baconizer: it's all about the frame of reference [08:29] Dulak: I would certainly hope you guys didn't lag behind Debian stable [08:30] Coming from a former Arch, current Fedora user perspective [08:30] Ileden: You could just archive them with tar [08:30] Both are fairly bleeding-edge [08:30] Before that, Debian testing [08:30] Ileden: okay [08:30] geirha: I was thinking about that... but can I then expolre the tar archive by mountin it? and will tar archive work with possible ntfs file naming schemes? [08:31] Ileden: cd /media/rootoffs1/; sudo tar zcvf /path/to/store/archive.tar.gz . [08:31] blah === painted is now known as blah_nub [08:31] i'm such a noob :o [08:32] Ileden: You can open the archive in the archive manager (by just double-clicking it) and explore what files it contains [08:33] How is support in the repo for Haskell? [08:33] At the moment, that's really the only important thing for me to have good support for [08:33] geirha: will this preserve all the possible ntfs stuff (like permission) as well? with direct copying its at least an exact copy? [08:33] Ileden: And there shouldn't be a problem taring down the files in an ntfs filesystem. The problem would be with extracting to an ntfs filesystem, since it's very picky about what characters you can have in filenames. ext3 accepts every concievable character in filenames, except / and \0 [08:33] Is somebody good at linux's kernel [08:34] geirha: there's also the file permissions [08:34] Ileden: Permissions on NTFS? Is that something new in newer Ubuntu versions? [08:34] geirha: it's a windows partition [08:34] !ask | poc [08:34] poc: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [08:35] Ileden: At any rate, when tar is run as root (with sudo), it will preserve file permissions and ownership [08:35] is there is any pkg for livecd-iso-to-disk [08:36] Ileden: NTFS did not have file permissions last time I messed around with such [08:36] I'm looking for somebody who good at linux's kernel [08:36] geirha: hmm, windows does have a quite extensive permissions system, but it could of course be with windows itself, not with the file system... [08:37] Ileden: Yeah, those are some ACLs that linux don't see/support. Don't know if they'll be preserved, so it might be best to copy the NTFS from windows. [08:38] poc, freenode has a whole channel just on linux's kernal at ##linux [08:38] geirha: well if I copy the direct partiton, they'll be presereved. I'd really rather not mess around with windows data copying right now :) [08:39] geirha: if there is a way to easily copy the entire partition data, that is. [08:39] My Xchat makes system beeps everytime i press a key, anyone know how to stop this? [08:40] Ileden: Right, well, then unmount the drive, and make an image of the drive then. sudo dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/path/to/store/partition.img [08:40] Ileden: you can use ghost for linux [08:40] Ileden: unmount the windows partition I mean. Then run a dd command like that, replacing /dev/sda1 with the correct inode for your case [08:41] geirha: yup, thanks! so a simple dd is enough. nice! [08:41] moin [08:43] Hey, I'm having a problem [08:43] Hello, how would one use iptables to drop all traffic from 10.0.2.209 except for traffic destined to/from 10.0.2.17 ? [08:43] Fuzz: please ask your question [08:44] I installed Savage2, but I installed it in my home folder. Now I can't log on, because it says something about permissions. I uninstalled it, but the problem persisted. How can I make a new user from shell to fix that one? [08:44] Fuzz: sudo useradd -m user1 && sudo passwd user1 [08:44] And just log on as user1?

[08:47] alexamixer [08:47] sl00: you can't send mail to anyone who uses the CBL [08:47] hi all [08:47] The CBL only lists IP addresses that are demonstrably infected by a mass mailing virus, or some sort of spam sending compromise (open proxy, trojan, spambot, insecure AnalogX/wingate etc). [08:48] sl00: you need to stop sending spam first [08:48] sl00: you might also check the office computers...it only takes one to get you on that list [08:48] I have a question regarding gitosis. If I do for instance "git reset --hard HEAD^" in my local repo and then "git push origin +master:master", will my last commit really be lost in my gitosis repo? Is there any way to get it back or can any malicous user with write access to my gitosis repo basically remove my project?

[09:04] I have Steam running. [09:04] that's what triple boot is for jan ;) [09:04] Janhouse : But you can't play quakelive.com on linux. [09:04] Team Fortress 2 works, Counter Strike Source works [09:04] all the source engine games work [09:04] Janhouse: what kind of framerates though? [09:04] wrong l4d is on Source SDK [09:04] and DOES not work [09:04] L4D does work [09:04] same as windows? :) [09:04] not mp [09:04] I just finished playing it.

[09:06] Remove pulseaudio from ubuntu [09:06] which mixer are you using ALSA? [09:06] it is the devil :D [09:06] OSS [09:07] I think... [09:07] try Alsa. [09:07] And don't forget to remove pulseaudio [09:07] Well, when i switch to ALSA, and test it...it fials. [09:07] Fails* [09:07] <|kosh|> i have a toshiba a205 with windows 7 rc 64bit and ubuntu 9 32bit installed. in virtualbox with the windows 7 hosting, with 32bit ubuntu 9 as guest, gnome allows 'extra' visual effects, but will not allow it on the hard drive partition installation [09:07] rob: did you look in the sound preferances under the system menu? I don't know an awful lot about sound issues, but that would definitely be the place to start [09:07] every time I have problems with sound it is because of pulse audio [09:08] <|kosh|> is this due to video drivers? [09:08] im calling it a night im feelin odd....... [09:08] what's the default package for disk management in Ubuntu (besides brasero) [09:08] Does anyone know a good terminal audio player? [09:08] I've used cmus, and mok, but I'm unimpressed. [09:09] uhok mplayer :D [09:09] Janhouse : how would i remove pulseaudio ? [09:09] go to synaptics [09:09] D3RGPS31, mplayer daemon? [09:09] or from terminal [09:09] sudo apt-get remove pulseaudio [09:09] uhok: i wouldn't know :D [09:09] !themes [09:10] Find your themes at: http://www.gnome-look.org - http://art.gnome.org - http://www.kde-look.org - http://kubuntu-art.org - http://themes.freshmeat.net/browse/58/ - http://www.guistyles.com - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/ - Also see !changethemes and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy [09:10] !pulseaudio [09:10] PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions [09:10] Kevin1a, Do you use a terminal player? [09:10] <|kosh|> it sort of makes me want to ditch the hard drive install and just run it as a vm. is there a good argument not to do this? === evilGary is now known as Gary [09:10] Cmus kind of highlights parts of the window and it's annoying. [09:11] I'm googling, but it's kind of weird. [09:11] uhok: not usually. I am one of those losers that uses a gui more than is really necessary. I have messed with VLC in the terminal before. [09:11] Janhouse : I have another question for you :) [09:11] listening [09:11] uhok: tried a different terminal? I find that gnome-terminal is really awful [09:12] linxeh, what do you use for terminal. Xterm? [09:12] Okay, so the little "speaker" by the clock, whenever i mute my mic...there is a little "NO!" symbol over the speaker...is that supposed to be there ? (stupid question i know...) [09:12] either xterm, or rxvt or similar [09:12] what's the application that runs when you insert a blank disc or run an iso image; no brasero [09:13] rob-, no [09:13] :D [09:13] did you remove pulseaudio? then restart ubuntu :) [09:13] Jan [09:13] I have yet to restart. [09:13] isn't it true, that if you remove pulseaudio you remove ubuntu-desktop? [09:14] ubuntu-desktop is a meta package it won't hurt to remove it, but you'd want to reinstall it for a dist-upgrade [09:14] hey guys quick question, how do I view current running processes in command line? [09:14] or gui [09:14] what's the official irc channel for the evolution mail client?

[09:32] Linxeh : I tried with reconstructer but i was not success [09:32] sowjendra: you could copy all the .deb packages you need to a cd and install them all (or share them over nfs) [09:32] I do it by keeping an rsync mirror of the ubuntu repositories [09:32] and all our machines then point at that [09:32] Linxeh : I have tried like this also .. but for some files it says libraries are missing [09:33] you must have missed some dependency debs, or got the order wrong [09:34] ? [09:34] Linxeh : I am new to Linux environment .. is there any guide to follow like to follow your steps . [09:34] sowjendra: another way is to set up a caching proxy, like squid, then just issue the install commands on your other boxes. the first one will download from the internet, the rest should get the cached files [09:35] sowjendra: there is likely something on the ubuntu wiki or the forums [09:35] how do i redirect std.err to std.out in a bash. ( cmd | othercmd ) &2>&1 ? [09:36] Linxeh : Ok i will search for that .. if not i will come back to you .. thank you very much for the help [09:37] sowjendra: I'm about to leave for the day, so I wont be online for 9 hours or so - this channel will get more lively in a few hours when the US wakes up :) [09:38] Linxeh : ok thank you.

I'm thinking of upgrading all my system to karmic to try to solve the problem. anyone here recommends otherwise? [10:29] iwobbles: Brasero Disc Burner is a good choice and I've found it reliable. Oh, really? Nah... You'll be fine. xD We were all Linux-dumb at some point. But yeah, download the .iso file from Mint (Main edition if you're 32-bit and x64 edition if you're 64-bit), open it in Brasero, and let it burn. When it's done, you'll have a Linux CD. It'll work and it'll be awesome. =] [10:29] b3rz3rk3r, I actually never leave :) [10:29] grawity, true true [10:29] macgyver_, lol.. thats the spirit [10:29] macgyver_, DNS issue ?

[10:31] iwobbles: No problem. ^_^ Just pop in the blank CDs, download the .iso files, right-click the .iso files and open them in Brasero, wait a bit while they burn, and you'll have your CDs in no time. at that point, procedure is the same as the other CDs you got from Ubuntu/magazines. Pop it in and boot into it. ^_^ [10:32] Nullslash: i started it thru terminal with sudo [10:32] try to google it in Google earth group, you will find your answer there [10:33] okie sta silare they have a universal version and -7 iso and a -7 x64iso I will get em all and give em a try [10:33] macgyver_: sorry that link was wrong because the ipv6 functionality is built-in the kernel, you need to use sysctl to adjust various ipv6 kernel parameters.

The 7 version is the normal version for 32-bit computers. The x64 version is the normal version for 64-bit computers.

[11:14] :D [11:14] hmmmmm, ok... seems for the time being i have gotten things a workin, through a friend of mine modifying what it is that grub could boot, though i do not think that is a permanent solution. I have problems with the wireless on this Acer Aspire One AOA, seems if i load then unload the madwifi drivers, she'll give me wifi acess, which leaves me with many a grub file. Firiend of mine deleted all those extra grubs, and now it boots right [11:14] into the one that still has wifi, but soon as my roomie updates, he'll find himself wifiless, i fear, and that would be bad [11:14] grrrr [11:14] polter can u help me with the gpgh key how can i import it?

[11:20] ubuntistas, you should be able to do that, but since it's not in the official repos, I won't give any guarantees. [11:20] just do a dryrun first to see what would happen on install [11:20] ignore me, i need to get sober before i can ask questions [11:21] polter which is the official repo? and how can i do a dry run? what's that?

I realized I can't get input to work. Output works fine, although input is practically not there, which I'd like to have for the sake of Skype, etfc. [11:21] ubuntistas, if you use "apt-get install kde" you can add "--simulate" at the end of the command to see what would get removed/installed/upgrade without doing the install [11:22] hanasaki: Be patient.

[11:25] Hi channel - after recent upgrades, I have experienced problems playing flash videos from Youtube, Vimeo etc. They open, but the "Loading" symbol just goes on for ever, the actual videos do not show. In youtube, the hover menu with related clips etc does show, but not the video itself. I tried googling but cannot find anything. Is this a known issue? [11:25] silare: ah... [11:25] ubuntistas, I'm just wondering if you have checked that repo for the new KDE packages [11:26] heres a good one, logitech orbit af. Any way to get that fully running in ubuntu?

Unfortunately, your command returns "find: "folder/": No such file or directory". No icons were deleted. [12:01] technopagan: do any of your filenames have spaces in them? [12:02] technopagan: fiolder is the folder where the icons are stored [12:02] while read file; do find ...blah... "$file" ; done < icons.txt [12:02] technopagan: just replace it with the apropiate name [12:02] jrib: They shouldn't. It is a icon-theme with >16.000 files which need to be addressed by the "icon.theme". [12:03] erUSUL: So it needs to be of the syntax: "/home/username/iconthemename/" ? [12:03] can i, using usermod -G, add a user to more than one group at the same time? [12:04] technopagan: also test firs without the -delete so you can check that the files listed are the ones you want to delete...

I'm looking at integrated chipsets and can't decide whethet to go with Ati 780G or Nvidia 8300 [12:05] oldude67: in ternimal? [12:06] Lelouch, yes and if it doesnt do a dmesg and see what the error is. [12:06] oldude67: should i do it like this "modprobe anydata adu-510a" ? [12:07] Lelouch, unless there is someone here that knows more about it? [12:07] georgefrs: what about nvidia ion? [12:07] i'm afraid there isn't [12:07] georgefrs: Personnaly, I'd say take Nvidia. I had a Ati-card in my old laptop and it made all kinds of trouble. [12:07] * macgyver_ is tearing his hair out [12:07] oldude67: this is the main problem i'm stuck with, i dunno what to type in vender and product id [12:08] I just installed the driver from ATI, I now "sort of" have a bog desktop, but have now lost compiz [12:08] Radtoo: I was thinking that but the boards have very limited SATA support [12:08] Lelouch, well if it is showing up in the lsusb it should load with the modprobe [12:08] ok, i will try it now then [12:08] brb [12:09] technopagan: I'm inclined to agree, I have run an Ati x700 under linus in the past and it was an annoyance. But I've heard good things about 780G support [12:09] * macgyver_ needs help with ATI [12:09] georgefrs: 4 drives or so, yes? [12:09] Hello. I'm trying to include vga=XXX in my /boot/. However, I wanted VESA 37B but I can't figure out which VGA numbers I wanted and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VESA_BIOS_Extensions#Linux_video_mode_numbers does not really specify it. I'm looking for 1280 x 720 x 32. Suggestion or guides, please? [12:10] Radtoo: On the atom itx boards I saw it was more like 2 [12:10] brb [12:10] Radtoo: But I would prefer the extra cpu punch anyway, I can get an AMD 240 x2 + m/b for the same cost as Atom + ion [12:11] georgefrs: both the point of view and zotac models I could buy here have 4... and yes I guess that part is a good argument if it is not just a htpc === peleg_ is now known as peleg [12:11] georgefrs: I am definitely NOT up to date on these matters. But because of some trouble with my current Intel video driver I talked to some fairly geeky guys just yesterday + they said to have no trouble with Nvidia. [12:12] georgefrs: its just nicer to have a htpc that does not consume much power, needs barely any cooling (or can be easily cooled passive even), and fits into a small box / case easily, if its my preferences ;) [12:12] georgefrs: well if you already picked this much, Id also say go with nvidia. [12:14] Radtoo: Thanks. My original plan was a nice low power HTPC box, perhaps a Acer Aspire Revo (linux version of course :D ). [12:15] Radtoo: But then we needed a 3tb NAS array as well and so it made sense to consolidate [12:19] [12:21] oldude67: dmesg shows this http://bcas.tv/paste/results/y16SLq72.html [12:21] georgefrs: Sounds like a sound plan, and its certainly much less power consuming than a full-blown modern quad core machine anyhow. [12:24] click and play http://zoranmilicevic.mybrute.com http://studentmustang.mybrute.com [12:24] Radtoo: Cheers. The Amd 240 x2 has a 65w tdp so while its not exactly low power it shouldn't be too demanding [12:24] Zoran: please don't advertise in this channel [12:25] oldude67: these are the screenshots i took from the device properties, if that could help you explain a little --> http://img193.imageshack.us/i/screenshotygd.png/ http://img18.imageshack.us/i/screenshot2akj.png/ http://img40.imageshack.us/i/screenshot1dzw.png/ [12:25] Radtoo: and I'll use a branded 80 plus efficient psu to try and offset the power requirements [12:26] Lelouch, was that everything from dmesg or the end did not get put in there...and did you get an error when you did the modprobe? [12:27] oldude67: yes that was all in dmaesg till the end, and i got an error like " module couldn't load" or something like this [12:27] in mosprobe that is [12:27] is there something similar to "/etc/inittab" in debian/ubuntu systems?

[12:31] it's a modem [12:31] jrib ... will the repository install even the 64 bit nvidia driver? [12:31] notsonerdysunny: yes [12:31] oldude67: it's a WAN connection and this usb is the modem for it [12:32] doing apt-cache search nvidia returned a bunch of nvidia stuff.. [12:32] how do i know which is the right one? [12:32] Lelouch, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=763122 [12:32] notsonerdysunny: well that's not what ubottu's link tells you to do. Use System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers [12:32] hi guys...i am running hardy and needs to install erlang on it...aptitude installs an older version, how do i specify the version during the install? [12:33] stevem: Hmm.. I think it worked here that way for me last week when i tried it [12:33] tri1, it will only install the version in the repo, you can't tell it what version to install .. if you need newer you would have to get it from the devs site [12:33] stevem: i dont recall the 2nd monitor being disabled... [12:34] some how I did not recieve the private message that ubottu was supposed to send me ... [12:34] ah ok thanks Halitech [12:34] Lelouch, i have to leave now, maybe if you get stuck someone else here might be able to help you..have a good day. [12:34] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto notsonerdysunny [12:35] Halitech: is there a way to ubdate the repo to use the jaunty repo cause i see jaunty has the right version? [12:35] tri1, upgrade to jaunty [12:35] oldude67: thanks, i won't be here to tell you but i think this might work [12:35] i will try it now [12:36] Halitech, you dont want to mix repo versions; upgrade to jaunty [12:36] Dr_Willis, well see this is a virtual ubuntu that I'm xdcmp'ing to ... it's only really got 1 'virtual' monitor - will I have to make a fake one [12:36] Whoop, sorry Halitech [12:36] Halitech: u mean reinstall ? [12:36] bazhang, np, I know better, even on Debian I don't mix and match :) [12:37] tri1, no, just run the update manager [12:37] tri1, upgrade via net if you wish [12:37] Is there a way to find out what graphics card I have ? [12:37] tri1, or you can get the alt install cd and use it to upgrade [12:37] but dont i just need the erlang stuff...wont this install all kinds of other things [12:37] notsonerdysunny, lspci -C video [12:38] hi guys [12:38] tri1, it will upgrade your complete system to 9.04 [12:38] running into some difficulty trying to understandubuntu server [12:38] i think i'm still thinking windows networking [12:38] do i need a primary domain controller for my office network [12:38] hi, small question: i am connection to a remote machine (jaunty) and i can connect and i can type etc but the desktop does not refesh in my vnc client (vino) [12:38] Halitech .. -C does not seem to be recognized by lspci..? [12:39] or should i just go ahead and put the desktops on a workgroup [12:39] the question is if i do that, can i still specifiy which users connect to what shares [12:39] !video [12:39] For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [12:39] notsonerdysunny: lspci | grep VGA [12:39] notsonerdysunny, lspci then ... the -c is for lshw [12:40] when I spin my mousewheel, there's a delay of about half a second before the window scrolls. This happens in pretty much any application, I'm using ubuntu with gnome; any ideas about how to fix this? [12:40] and or, is it necessary to have a pdc on my network if i'll not have any windows pc's connecting [12:40] notsonerdysunny, got my commands mixed up [12:40] going everything ubuntu [12:40] stevem: no idea on that. I used xdmcp to connect to my pc thats behind me.. and im pretty sure both monitors worked here.. I would expect it to work thta way.. sice X is running 'locally' using twinview and the nvidia drivers.. just the apps are running remotely [12:40] !skype [12:40] To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto - Please use open protocols instead if you can, see !Ekiga [12:40] coolguy4, what video card and have you installed the proper drivers? [12:41] ok .. I seem to have the intel's integrated graphics controller.. [12:41] halitech: what terminal command can I use to check that? [12:41] halitech: I have onboard video [12:41] what is the driver I am supposed to be using? [12:41] coolguy4, lspci | grep vga [12:41] q. what is the proper ubuntu mirror for a computer in the us ? [12:42] notsonerdysunny, chances are you have the proper driver but in 9.04 there were some issues with the intel driver [12:43] notsonerdysunny, check here ... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1130582 [12:44] see the problem is I have a graphics application .. which reports .. "Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0"." .. I was able to fix this by installing a new graphics driver before on other machines.. [12:44] that is why I am trying this option... [12:44] btw.. My installation is 8.04 not 9.10 [12:44] notsonerdysunny, installing the nvidia driver won't do any good if you don't have an nvidia card [12:44] How can I update to gphoto2 2.4.5? [12:44] halitech: 01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon HD 3200 Graphics, that's the correct hardware [12:44] hi [12:45] I'm trying to edit a makefile [12:45] sure .. I hadn't realized that I didn't have NVIDIA [12:45] but now I know [12:45] #grails [12:45] doing fresh install of jaunty and after installing nvidia driver from the hardware driver manager X won't start until I revert to old config. I know nvidia drivers suck but it used to work flawlessly in previous versions what is the problem? [12:45] how do I define a "user" desktop foler? [12:45] would you have a suggestion why its telling that there is not GLX extension? [12:45] Since I changed my password I get problems with the keyring. For instance when I start my computer my NetworkManager tries to access the data for my WLAN but I get a message "... tries to access the default keyring, but it's locked" - and even if I enter my new password in this promt, it just re-appears, asking again and again! Please help! [12:46] I'm trying to edit a makefile, how do I define a user's desktop folder? [12:46] hello everyone, what does "hal-storage-fixed-mount-all-options refused uid 999" mean? [12:46] coolguy4, look in hardware drivers and see if anything is listed there [12:47] bjb1959: nvidia drivers are among the better ones.. how do you mean "won't start".. how do you "revert to old config" ? [12:47] ManDay: you may want to check --> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7470795 [12:47] notsonerdysunny, not sure, I don't have any systems with intel chips so don't know much about them [12:47] ManDay: i just set my keyring to not need a password. [12:47] Checking, Dr_Willis [12:48] well anyone know? [12:48] Slart, I get the X reconfigure screen asking if I want to revert or start x in low graphics mode [12:48] ManDay: and ive no idea why the setting program is in Applications->Accessories->Passwords and Encryption Keys instead of system -> perfserances :) [12:48] bjb1959: can you pastebin the file /var/log/Xorg.0.log ? [12:48] i found the ubuntu-server channel :) [12:48] right off the bat [12:49] Slart, sure give me a couple minutes [12:49] ManDay: the interface to that program is a little odd also.. You 'right' click on the various 'lines' it displays to set teh passwords for the specific things. [12:49] Exactly my thought, Dr_Willis - I would never have looked there, if you hadnt told me [12:50] ManDay: i had to google this also. :) its been asked in here a dozen+ times befor.. I bookmarked tht url for just these answers Heh [12:50] well??????/// [12:51] ManDay: you just reminded me i needed to fix it also so Now perhaps UbuntuOne will stop asking to access the keyring :) [12:51] Yes Dr_Willis I figured it out. Apparently, my keyring password hasnt implictly changed when I changed my user password. Although I assumed that this may be the case I didn't find anything which could let me change the keyring password in Preferences, as you pointed out. But now I know it :) [12:51] ShapeShifter499: it defaults to /home/$USER/Desktop [12:51] Anyone? "hal-storage-fixed-mount-all-options refused uid 999"? [12:51] Slart, http://pastebin.ca/1519089 [12:51] ShapeShifter499: /home/$USER/Desktop [12:51] bjb1959: ok, I'll have a look [12:51] ManDay: A++ :) [12:51] tnx [12:52] Thanks then. Cya, cheers! [12:54] Hi there [12:54] hi there [12:54] Can anyone help me with a dist-upgrade ? [12:55] I tried to upgrade to Koala aplha3 yesterday [12:55] ClapBedon: for what? [12:55] but I had to close my computer while update-manager was downloading packages [12:55] ClapBedon: if you're currently using karmic, the channel for it is #ubuntu+1 [12:55] ClapBedon: Just continue it. [12:55] now when i run update-manager again, it doesn't show koala anymore [12:56] bjb1959: what does you xorg.conf look like? [12:56] ClapBedon: what does lsb_release -a say? [12:56] ClapBedon, you could try sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [12:56] No LSB modules are available.

[12:58] ClapBedon: sudo update-manager --dist-upgrade [12:59] ClapBedon: Maybe that? [12:59] bjb1959: you want to use the open source nvidia driver? or the binary driver? [12:59] Offoffoff, ClapBedon should be gksudo if it launches a gui [12:59] binary driver unfortunately [12:59] offoffoff : tried that too! [12:59] bjb1959: then remove the "driver nv" line in xorg.conf [12:59] ClapBedon, do things seem to be working? [12:59] it loads the dist-upgrade software, but founds nothing to install [13:00] !upgrade [13:00] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [13:00] Slart, I changed that manually so X would start it used to say "nvidia" which didn't work [13:00] i have problems with applications (mostly games) that run a different resolution than my desktop... i only get a black screen! anyone can tell me how can i fix this? [13:00] Slart: Thank You, Sir [13:00] halitech : my computer works fine [13:01] <^cheeky> errm .. whats the top part in gnome called .. where you havethe list for applications and what not ? [13:01] bjb1959: hmm... if I were you I would uninstall everything nvidia using synaptic.. including nvidia glx and so on..reboot and try reinstalling the binary driver [13:02] Is there something I could change in /etc/apt to make it work ? [13:02] Slart, already did a apt-get --purge remove nvidia* and started over. didn't work [13:03] ClapBedon: maybe sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list? [13:03] Offoffoff: gksudo nano [13:03] ClapBedon: And to change repos to carmic? [13:03] ClapBedon, should be fine then [13:03] fahadsadah: :-) [13:03] fahadsadah, don't need gksudo for nano, it runs in the terminal [13:04] fahadsadah: What the sense [13:04] don't change any repos to karmic on your jaunty box [13:04] bjb1959: odd.. does the live cd work for you? [13:04] which package has mathematics.h avutil.h swscale.h on ubuntu [13:04] ikonia: why? will be cool! [13:04] Can anyone help me out please? I can't get into my winxp partitions from the livecd [13:04] which is the command which searches for header files in packages. [13:05] !find mathematics.h [13:05] Offoffoff: no - it is not a cool thing to do and can / will break your system [13:05] File mathematics.h found in libavutil-dev, libmyth-dev [13:05] everything points to jaunty, looks normal [13:05] !find stdunix.h [13:05] ArPharazon: just to force mount action [13:05] Package/file stdunix.h does not exist in jaunty [13:05] Slart, yes but I think I found some instructions that might work. don't know why jaunty doesn't work. hopefully they get it fixed for Karmic. I'll give these instructions a shot. Thanks [13:05] cool [13:05] ikonia: it is risk [13:05] so you mean i need to come to chat room to get this [13:06] Offoffoff, dont recommend here [13:06] Offoffoff: it's not supported/recommended, there are official upgrade processes, please think about what you are suggesting to people [13:06] Offoffoff: at least make it clear the risks [13:06] Offoffoff: how do I do that? [13:06] user10: you can also use apt-file [13:06] bazhang: why? [13:06] Offoffoff, it will break things; dont make wild recommendations here [13:06] ikonia: but he is trying to risk [13:07] Slart: thanks i had forgotten that [13:07] Offoffoff: because of the danger to breaking his system, there are official/supported upgrade processes [13:07] Offoffoff, please stop [13:07] user10: you're welcome [13:07] I won't change the repositories [13:07] bazhang: ok [13:07] !upgrade > ClapBedon [13:07] ClapBedon, please see my private message [13:07] ClapBedon: also check the topic in #ubuntu+1 [13:07] ClapBedon, support in #ubuntu+1 [13:07] Offoffoff: Do you mean just right click - actions - mount? That doesn@t work [13:07] surabaya [13:08] okay, i'll ask there [13:08] bazhang: he breaks usual procedure of upgrading [13:08] thanks [13:08] ArPharazon: no [13:08] How to find which tty* an usb-to-serial converter with an address of 1-1.3:1.0 was attached to?

For xp, haven't seen a single source leading down that path, and for os/x w [13:28] ell, haven't done the legwork, so we'll wait for that. Let's say dual boot, xp/ubuntu(eeebuntu 3.0 NBR) installed without the use of a source computer running xp [13:28] hell [13:28] ArPharazon, might be time to test the drive with Ultimate Boot cd tools ... if the drive it toast then yes [13:28] UBCD? [13:28] on USB/ [13:28] ? [13:28] daem_: to tripple boot like that you will need to learn some grub and manually edit the menu.lst most likely. [13:29] daem_: You are doing XP, Uubntu, and UNR? [13:30] Dr_Willis don't know UNR, was thinking in a different direction for the third boot [13:30] Why triple boot? Just load everything up in vmware or something. [13:30] think might be best to stick to secondary boot options first. [13:30] daem_: theres no need to use UNR and Ubuntu. UNR will do what all ubuntu can. [13:30] the processor isn't the best for such activities,suppose if I fed it into a cloud [13:30] Dr_Willis Link to UNR? [13:30] daem_: its worth while learning how ubuntu does the grub confiugs and how to manually edit grub's menu.lst that will make tripple booting much easier. [13:31] daem_: its on the ubuntudownload pages.. you will need to put the Ubuntu netbook remix (UNR) on a flash drive to boot/install it.. [13:31] Dr_Willis: When I went into the commands availabnle to me in the command line in grub, was a bit lost [13:32] da, yes, gotcha there. UNR > eeebuntu? [13:32] or =?

[13:43] yes [13:43] Vlack: did you try lspci? [13:43] Do you have to port forward to use SIP VOIP? [13:43] are there any tools to search within man pages? [13:43] dpreacher: using ssh as the transport mechanism, rsync will work just fine to a samba share with no work at all [13:43] Dr_Willis thanks for the input though, will legwork down the requirements, read up, and fire away if lost. [13:43] dpreacher: yes, you can try "/" and then the term you want to search for. [13:43] Vlack: lshw -C networking [13:44] dpreacher: also, try "apropos " [13:44] dd > cp ?? [13:44] sipior / on the CLI? i knew about apropos/man -k only...wondered if something better was there [13:44] why does the touchpad get enabled automatically a while after I disable it using gsynaptics? [13:44] danbhfive, still not getting any output [13:45] am getting this error: The following packages have unmet dependencies: [13:45] libavutil-dev: Depends: libavutil49 (= 3:0.svn20090303-1ubuntu6) but it is not going to be installed [13:45] E: Broken packages [13:45] daem_: that statement is true, at least lexicographically :-) === Quentinv57_ is now known as Quentinv57 [13:46] sipior: thanks [13:46] does anyone here use ekiga? [13:46] Ubuntu can't do boot logging? :( [13:46] danbhfive: thnx i'll just do it on separate lines. [13:47] daem_: the UNR page tells how to dd it to a flash drive.. 'sudo dd whatever.img > /dev/sdb ' (NOT sdb1 ) :) if sdb is the flash drive. [13:47] Vlack: oops: sudo lshw -C network [13:47] I am looking through the tar man page to look for switch to exclude the /mnt path while backing up the whole of / and found this --exclude=PATTERN is there any way to make sure it skips only /mnt and no other files or folders elsewhere which might be named */mnt* so to say. [13:47] do fish eat ants ? [13:48] mine kept spitting them out [13:48] Hmm.. my /mnt is empty :) [13:48] quizme: sorry, I can't help much without seeing the command [13:48] i'll pastie it [13:48] hi, I can not find my hd* devices in /dev, where are they? [13:48] is there a way to test from the command line whether a port is open to my machine from my firewall? [13:48] I mounted the location i want to save the backup to on /mnt Dr_Wiliis [13:48] Dr_Willis [13:48] zimbres: most all drives show up as /dev/sd#x now a days [13:48] danbhfive, yes i did that [13:48] but its not showing [13:49] dpreacher: ahh.. Id say check out some tar tutorials/guides.. i always have to look things up since i rarely do that stuff much. [13:49] Vlack: sudo apt-get install pastebinit && pastebinit <(sudo lshw) [13:49] its ok Dr_Willis. thanks [13:49] How do you view logs on bootup? I have some [fail] that I would like to read but they scrolled up so darn fast. [13:49] dpreacher: im not sure that exclude is for a 'path' it says pattern.. that may be a filename pattern. [13:50] leaf-sheep: you could try dmesg [13:50] thats the worry part Dr_Willis [13:50] leaf-sheep: i saw a service that i THINK did that.. I enabled it in 'bum' (install bum first) but im not sure where it logged themn to. [13:50] leaf-sheep: there's also /var/log/syslog and other logs in /var/log [13:50] Dr_Willis: Would you say building from the ground up for my UNR would be my best bet? Leaving me to install only & exactly what my client wants? [13:51] ok, that made me giggle like a juvenile.. Install bum. lol [13:51] daem_: I used the UNR then tweaked it a little.. there were a few tweaks mentioned in the AAO forum threads on the forum. [13:51] !info bum [13:51] bum (source: bum): graphical runlevel editor. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.2.1-2 (jaunty), package size 81 kB, installed size 516 kB [13:51] lstarnes, Dr_Willis: I have two [fail] services but I looked up on "sudo nano /etc/default/boot*" to toggle ON --> YES but apparently it was never fixed so boot logging is not possible since 7.10. The to-be-logged path is /var/log/boot [13:52] Dr_Willis: Since you said you toggled it on bum, can you check /etc/default/boot* to see if it highlights Yes? [13:52] leaf-sheep: my boot is also empty. thers also a bootstrap.log [13:52] yes toehio2 [13:52] bootstrap.log dont seem to be what we want either [13:53] !info bootlogd [13:53] Error: I tried to send you an empty message. [13:53] Hmmm [13:54] thats weird. [13:54] Dr_Willis, lstarnes: There are no bootstrap.log + syslog.log. I'm trying to resolve my Ubuntu HTPC but the problem is not XBMC-affiliated. Just that I want to see what the message said. Something about appamor not loading properly. [13:54] !logs [13:54] Official channel logs can be found at http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ - For LoCo channels, http://logs.ubuntu-eu.org/freenode/ [13:54] Meh. Not that. [13:54] leaf-sheep: apparmour is a security thing thats normally disabled by default.. thats proberly why you saw that [13:54] !apparmour [13:54] Sorry, I don't know anything about apparmour [13:54] !apparmor [13:54] For information about the AppArmor security framework employed in Ubuntu (since Gutsy Gibbon), see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AppArmor [13:54] I thinkits off by default at least.

[13:55] Dr_Willis: I think its on by default [13:55] leaf-sheep: well 'bum' mentions bootlogd. but i cant find any other info on the service. [13:56] danbhfive: it might be 'on' but with no rules.. not sure. :) ive never really looked into it much [13:56] has anyone tired firefox 3.5.2 yet? [13:56] danbhfive: ill go read the page and see :P [13:56] Hello. does anyone know how to start services in background while booting system? For example apache, mysql, noip2 - in Arch that was just adding "@" before service name in /etc/rc.conf, but I can't any alternative there. [13:56] dpreacher: no, the destination archive name goes immediately after the cvjf part. [13:57] Dr_Willis: Would I need apparmor? I figure I could eliminate the problem entirely by uninstalling it since the only network access would be to get weather and such. Also, to get files from local network. [13:57] for some reason i unmounted and remounted a drive, and now whenever i restart the drive disappears and i have to mount it manually each time - any solutions? [13:57] comatsu: Is the drive in /etc/fstab? [13:58] sudo tar -jcvf /mnt/share/backup.tar.bz2 --exclude="/mnt/share" /* grawity, this fixes it, i hope [13:58] grawity the drive is /dev/sda3 [13:58] leaf-sheep: id imagine its not the problem.. but i dont rcall what your actual problem is/was.. ive rarely seen anyone inhere mention problems with apparmor [13:58] dpreacher: Now just replace /* with simply / and it should be okay :) [13:58] can I asK about awn? [13:58] thanks grawity [13:58] leaf-sheep: now UNinstalling it.. may cause problems. [13:59] Dr_Willis: I'm reinstalling it. I think the boot sequence for Appamaror may be borked. [13:59] Checking for hardware/setup problems... [FAIL] : can someone helP me..? [14:00] Dr_Willis: It still display fail for some reason and I'm saddened by the fact that I can't toggle on boot logging. :( [14:00] leaf-sheep: apparmounr proberly has its own rather more detailed logs.. if thats whats 'failing' [14:01] I'm downloading a a torrent file and i'm getting an error says no more space on drive but I still have over 3 gigs free why is that? [14:01] earthen: how big is the hd/ by default 5% is reserved for 'root/recovery' ussage.. [14:01] earthen: HDD accomplished by HDD Space + Swap + Boot. [14:01] earthen: How big is the file you're downloading? [14:02] Is anyone 'well versed' in using the linux 'tc' command? I have a script setup and working, but i got it from an online source, and although i partially understand it and have made some additions i cannot seem to achieve what i need; http://pastebin.com/d6e576887 [14:02] Hi, I can't understand memory usage, I summed up %MEM of top and got approx. 700MB, while free tells me that am using 980 MB (250 Cache) and 700 MB swap. What does use the difference? [14:02] file is 10 gigs [14:03] i dont see where the logrotate for /var/log/syslog is being set? [14:03] earthen: and how big is the hard drive? [14:03] somehow its being rotated daily but the default logrotate config is set to weekly [14:03] crap i see the problem I made my home dir only 1 gig [14:03] Dr_Willis: Well. There are nothing under /var/log/apparmor. I think that's logs for recording events occuring with apparmor, not when loading apparmor. [14:03] and nothing relevant in /etc/logrotate.d [14:03] earthen: so you've got 13 gigs left? [14:04] leaf-sheep: just reading up on apparmor at the suse page.. its got some neat features.. but you are one of the first ive seen inhere with any problems withit.... [14:04] roffe, Dr_Willis ok so can i move the download to a bigger drive? [14:04] yes, dialing in... [14:04] roffe, Dr_Willis or do i have to start over [14:04] earthen: you could stop the torrent.. move the stuff. and somehow tell the torrent to use the other location.. yes.. [14:04] does anyone know how to install firefox 3.5 in ubuntu [14:04] !ff35 | sidp [14:04] sidp: 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 [14:04] earthen: you can switch it, but with some hazzle [14:05] Does anyone know how to start services in background while booting system? For example apache, mysql, noip2 - in Arch that was just adding "@" before service name in /etc/rc.conf, but I can't find any alternative there. [14:05] i just tried to install xfce4 on ubuntu server 8.04, and then run xfce4-session and i'm getting the error Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :0.0 [14:05] roffe, Dr_Willis what about just resizing my home dir [14:05] earthen: I know deluge has an option to more the torrent. I don't know about transmission, but it should [14:05] roffe: start torrent saving to new location.. stop it.. copy your stuff you allready got TO that new location.. and then restart the torrent - let it check.verify is one way [14:05] earthen: resizing may take some time.. [14:05] thanks leaf-sheep [14:06] sidp: Don't forget to thank the robot too. :) [14:06] roffe, Dr_Willis took me 2 weeks to download this much [14:06] earthen: or just move the download dir to the other drive/partition and make a link pointing to the new location from the old [14:06] thanks ubottu :) [14:06] hey, I know I read something about encrypted root unlockable over ssh(using dropbear) I can't seem to find the help page anymore, anyone got a link? :) [14:06] I got a question, if I have to run a makefile as root(because its in a .deb file) what command do I put into that makefile to get a file to go to the user's desktop NOT the root's desktop? [14:06] leaf-sheep: no way to run in on 8.10? [14:06] earthen: The best thing about torrent. You can always pick up where you left off. [14:06] Dr_Willis, that sounds like a idea [14:06] how do i change a user's primary group? [14:06] earthen: so yes.. there are ways to move the data/downloads.. depends onhow you want to do it. [14:06] sidp: Read the link. Should say something about Intrepid. [14:07] Dr_Willis, I just don't want to loose what i've gotten so far [14:07] is anybody else having problems signing up for a AIM username in ubuntu? [14:07] well? [14:07] why does the touchpad get enabled automatically a while after I disable it using gsynaptics? [14:07] earthen: or as i said.. start torrent again. saving to a NEW location.. then stop it.. and then copy your data to that new location.. and restart it.. it should 'verify; the data and continue' [14:08] dayo usermod -g group user [14:08] join/ubuntu-fi [14:08] Dr_Willis, ok I'll try that [14:08] dayao sudo usermod [14:08] well? [14:09] I know I'm going to sound like an idiot for saying this but what programming language does Linux (specifically Ubuntu) use? === kernel32dll is now known as Nehyx [14:09] Python!! [14:09] well???? [14:09] yy === Nehyx is now known as Guest67762 [14:09] ShapeShifter499: I thinkyou got several things sort of mixxed up... normally you compile things as a user. (to build the deb) then you install it as root. you mean you want the files it installs to 'install' to some specific /home/username/Desktop directory? [14:10] Dr_Willis: Want to know what makes sense now? I looked again closely and I see it... It was "starting kernel log daemon failed" [14:10] is Python really it? because there is a real doucher trying to tell me it's summat else [14:10] leaf-sheep: :P [14:10] Dr_Willis: I'll google now. Thanks for possible solutions. But funny thing. :P [14:10] make: thank you [14:10] Dr_Willis: yes [14:10] roffe, Dr_Willis, leaf-sheep thanks guys [14:10] curtis_: python is used a lot by many disrtos for gui/tools and other support programs. [14:10] dayo :) [14:11] curtis_: the linux kernel is written in C. but a default linux install typically contains about a dozen different programming languages [14:11] \\ [14:12] \\ [14:12] curtis_: C, Perl, Python, C++, are a few [14:12] opps [14:12] ShapeShifter499: Stop that. [14:12] ShapeShifter499: that dosent make a lot of sence.. If you wantd an app to 'install' for just a single user.. you dont need the deb. you can compile/make/make install, where it goes to the users own home dir. the 'Desktop' directory has little to do with it.

[14:28] HI I finally just got good enough with ubuntu to drop windblows completely and can run all linux apps to do everything and more that I use to use under microsoft. BUT I have a laptop with ati 200m witch I think is close to same as r300 chipset, and it is amd 64 cpu witch is all integrated. how soon or will there ever be support for this under ubuntu 9.04 or do I have to go back to windblows and scrap linux now because ATI sucks? [14:29] Radtoo: speaking of NX have you ever seen NX stop honoring the Controls settings for a desktop theme? I'm using gnome and the window borders and wallpaper and fonts are correct, but the window (gtk) controls aren't [14:29] Slart, there is not a word about starting services in background while booting [14:29] Radtoo: this is a ubuntu box at home, right now i simply ssh into it and happy in the CLI but every now and then I would like to be able to access the GUI/desktop from the office or cafe. [14:29] [Q] Resolution is the resolution I want in the list. Was good before. [14:29] Socah: ehm.. bum, update-rc.d, /etc/rc.local doesn't work for you? I must have misunderstood you then.. what is it you want to do? [14:29] I using xubuntu [14:30] woody_: Have you looked at FSFdirectory?

With regards to what VNC client to use, just make sure it was released fairly recently if you don't want to concern yourself with the detailed capabilities of these things (which actually vary quite a bit, some profit from xorg enhancements, others do not and so on)...

I'm not entirely familiar with exactly how the boot process does it's thing.. you can enable concurrency during boot (there is a switch you can change)... but I'm kind of surprised that running a script in /etc/rc.local which forks off another script stops the boot process [14:33] hafiztang , 4 gig would be in order, more is better [14:33] o ok [14:33] !requirements [14:33] Hardware requirements to install, boot and comfortably use Ubuntu are listed at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements - For a !flavor with lower requirements, see !Xubuntu [14:33] @yellabs :im about to install ubuntu [14:34] in 20 minutes its done..:P [14:34] and right now i already have vista [14:34] thanks for tip I will look into that now, really a big fan of ubuntu 9.04 and really hoping I could stick with it if I can fix ATI/AMD fglrx problem [14:34] should i make a new partition for ubuntu itself?

[15:21] basically keep it plugged in but not charge a battery [15:21] i think a recent update broke support for VIA unichrome video devices. I get a blank screen when GDM tries to load [15:22] foormea: welll bad... the time will be inaccureate i guess [15:22] what kind of your videocard [15:22] grawity: hmm [15:22] ok Gnea [15:22] linxeh, it's a VIA Unichrome [15:23] ok erUSUL i'll look into that [15:23] anybody know how to kill Xorg?

Should i select netbook mode, will the alterations stick? [15:35] Syka: i think for servers, debian is more used then ubuntu-server but both are nice [15:36] Ubuntu is nice as an all round desktop and server if required [15:36] but that's the beauty of Linux - if it doesn't work, try another distro [15:36] If _that_ doesn't work, try thermite. === imranh is now known as Shamwow [15:36] I'm using fglrx and got the unsupported hardware watermark.

[15:38] Syka: ubuntu = debian unstable === Billy is now known as Oxyclean [15:39] rsnake: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MATLAB [15:39] Syka: and sometimes sid also [15:39] Ok well ive just recieved an ubunti 9.04 cd and im trying to get it to work as a live cd so i can test it out without loosing anything on xp. But when i restart my computer to get it to work as said in the instructions it doesnt work. [15:39] iceroot: Really? I thought 9.04 was based off Lenny [15:39] iceroot: sid is debian unstable === Oxyclean is now known as Obama [15:39] ~= debian unstable. It's a stabilized version of debian unstable. :) [15:39] How do I uninstall postfix mail server from my ubuntu server ...

[15:40] ok ill try that now thanks [15:40] iceroot: sid is unstable, squeeze is the current testing [15:40] ohhhh thx a lot ... do I need to use the cd ? [15:40] iceroot: Sid is unstable, as Sid is the mentally unstable toy-killer out of Toy Story [15:40] grawity: on server ran ssh-keygen -t rsa, created keys without pw [15:40] Catalin205: Nope, you're just removing things. [15:40] psypher246: So far okay (though rsa is already default) [15:40] grawity: copy id_rsa.pub to client. cat id_rsa.pub >> authtorized_keys2 [15:41] and when I install the qmail ? do I have to use the cd ? [15:41] lstarnes: Syka yes, unstable = sid = base of ubuntu packages [15:41] psypher246: Still sounds good (though recent OpenSSH versions use simply 'authorized_keys') [15:41] Thanks for the link [15:41] Catalin205: sudo apt-get install qmail [15:41] Catalin205: I'm not sure Qmail is in the CD -- you will probably need to download it; Ubuntu will do it automatically. [15:41] Catalin205: you are using the repos, not the cd [15:41] I am away from my server that's why i'm asking if I whould use the cd ? [15:41] grawity: Isn't "authorized_keys" for SSH1 and 2 for 2? [15:42] ohhh ok [15:42] grawity: tried that too, no dice [15:42] thx a lot for the help [15:42] Has anyone got any experience of replacing the installer kernel? Our systems are using Hardy for the LTS, but the newest batch of desktops have hardware that isn't supported. Jaunty installs fine, but we don't want to upgrade all packages just to get the thing installed. Is it possible to use Jaunty's kernel for a Hardy netboot/pre-seed install? [15:42] using lspci, i know which graphic card i have... how can i find out which drivers (if any) are installed for it and which one (if any) is currently in use? [15:42] Catalin205: but i would use postfix, if i am correct its the standard mta from ubuntu and i like it very much [15:43] burkmat: i thought so too [15:43] burkmat: Since SSHv1 is so terribly insecure and outdated, nobody uses it anymore. [15:43] DaveyG: Update the kernel in Synaptic - but I'm not sure if it goes to .14 [15:43] burkmat: So OpenSSH just uses that file for _both_ types of keys. [15:43] I just can't comnfigure the maps for virtual domains [15:43] I just installed Ubuntu 9.04, did all the security updates and rebooted. Now I cannot install the restricted driver. After I click "Activate", it says "Downloading and installing drivers..." for few seconds and then disappears and nothing happens. I can connect to the internet from the fresh installation (IPv4 and IPv6 via autoconfiguration). [15:43] psypher246: In the server, can you check /var/log/auth.log? [15:43] Syka: We need 2.6.28> for the hardware which isn't listed as available for Hardy 8.04.3 [15:43] !who | Catalin205 [15:43] Catalin205: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [15:43] psypher246: what are the permissions on your .ssh directory? should be 700 or it won't work === jimmyjoe is now known as imranh [15:44] DaveyG: Is it possible to get a .tar.gz? Then the ./configure, make, make install? === imranh is now known as imrann [15:45] grawity: did tail -f /var/log/auth.log nothing popped up while i tried to connect only once i entered the password [15:45] Syka: I have a working kernel, The problem is a matter of getting it into the installer. [15:45] fumblnoob: yeah all files in .ssh are 600 [15:45] DaveyG: Oh, into the installer [15:45] tried 700 also [15:46] lemme try again === burkmat_ is now known as burkmat [15:46] iceroot: Can you please help me configure postfix then ? I don't know how to setup the virtual domains maps [15:46] Has anyone had any luck getting an IronKey working in ubuntu? its not creating the fake cd drive [15:46] psypher246 and the directory itself is? [15:46] psypher246: ~/.ssh must be 0700, all files inside -- 0600. [15:46] psypher246: Also, try connecting with ssh -v [15:47] DaveyG: If you have some Synaptic-installable tools, you can make a CD image of a given installation... but I'm not sure if that's what you want [15:47] iceroot: Umm. I thought exim4 is the standard MTA on Ubuntu? [15:47] Syka: As in turn a working desktop installation into CD? [15:48] hi guys, i just got eee pc and i want to copy my music folder from my ubuntu pc into it, i do right click-properties-share install samba but i couldn't find it on my network. did i miss sth?

[15:48] DaveyG: Yep [15:48] DaveyG: But there is also mod-a-existing CD ones [15:48] babyshambles: if it's not too big, just tar it and ftp? [15:49] grawity: k did the permissions, still not [15:49] Syka: Cheers, I'll have a look into that [15:49] psypher246: ssh -v on the client, tail -f /var/log/{syslog,auth.log} on the server? [15:49] grawity: k gimme a sec [15:50] burkmat: i'm using ubuntu netbook remix and i want to transfer via LAN cable, actually it's about 60 GB. what should i do? [15:50] DaveyG: Problem is, from existing installs the CD would be GB's upon GB's... what are you using as the netboot? Clonezilla to make an image, or the Ubuntu CD itself? [15:50] babyshambles: External HDD's work a treat === lipsin_ is now known as lipsin [15:51] Anyone who can explain to me how to enable cut&paste for seahorse password entry? Vanilla Ubuntu 9.04, seahorse 2.26.1. [15:51] babyshambles: by LAN cable do you mean computer---computer or are they networked? [15:52] lenny0815: I haven't seen a password entry box that would support copying. But you should be able to paste normally. [15:52] grawity: That is the problem. I cannot paste. [15:53] lenny0815: How are you pasting -- Ctrl-V, or middle-click? [15:53] grawity: nothing came up on the logs. here is ssh -v http://paste.ubuntu.com/248047/ [15:53] grawity: pasting is disabled. That really ... well, it is unpleasant to manually copy complicated random passphrases from KeePassX. [15:53] burkmat: i mean from my ubuntu pc to my eee pc using LAN cable. [15:53] grawity: I tried both. Neither works. [15:54] Is it just me or is archives.canonical.com realy realy realy slow? [15:54] grawity: I was wondering if this was on purpose but I cannot think of any security risk *pasting* into a pw entry box. [15:55] lenny0815: And you can paste the same thing anywhere else? [15:55] if yes - strange. [15:55] Hi. I'm installing Ubuntu using the encrypted LVM. Any way to require a USB key to boot? Maybe by moving the .key over to it or something? [15:55] grawity: Sure. KeePassX works fine anywhere (on Firefox for example) but not in seahorse and therefore not in Evolution (which seems to use seahorse). [15:55] grawity: But I require pgp keys in Evolution. [15:56] grawity: hence the question here :) [15:56] ... I just wonder why don't you use a passphrase that you can type manually ...

Any suggestion and referral would be great. [16:08] darkhamm: The most reliable way is to use Windows for that :) (All Windows 2000/XP/Vista install CDs have a "recovery console" and a chkdsk command there.) I'm not sure if fsck.ntfs has ever existed. [16:12] rski: what should i search for?

But on Ubuntu, I always get an error (mostly because I don't know what most of the file extensions are/do) [16:29] wizz: Lies. [16:29] Where can I ask for some support with VPNs? [16:30] Also, this applies for all things I want to download from firefox and not Add/Remove [16:30] xdomingo: ##linux, maybe. What kind of VPN it is? [16:30] where I can find the meaning of the "timer" alsa device? [16:30] grawity: In fact I am using Ubuntu's Network Manager [16:30] but I can only use one VPN at a time [16:30] Shoe: you mean you want to run the windows version ? or the native version ? [16:30] wizz: what do you mean? [16:30] i need a ntp server ip address.pls [16:31] grawity: it is a pptp protocol [16:31] Uh, is there a difference? I just want to know how to install stuff that's not on Add/Remove linny [16:31] make: why not just ping one? [16:31] Shoe: Ubuntu, being Debian-based, uses DEB packages (.deb). But often Linux software is also distributed as compilable source code (in .tar.gz) [16:31] Shoe:well if it's a .deb (limewire linux is then just click it to open with gdebi [16:31] make: pool.ntp.org -- use the 'host' command to find out the IP. [16:31] So, always get the .deb if possible? [16:32] Shoe: Yes. [16:32] th0r:not, i need a ip to update my time [16:32] do anyone know anything about PHP? or a PHP irc-channel query me. [16:32] i don't wanna take a risk to lost my ubuntu, Trijntje === Julian-de is now known as Julian-off [16:32] make: I meant 0.pool.ntp.org [16:32] Master: ##php [16:32] make: ping pool.ntp.org [16:32] !register > Master [16:32] Master, please see my private message [16:32] th0r: thank [16:32] th0r: Generally 'host' is better for getting the IP. [16:32] make: or host pool.ntp.org [16:32] I'll go try to download LimeWire. [16:32] http://www.limewire.com/download/ [16:32] make: or whois pool.ntp.org [16:33] there is an ubuntu deb there [16:33] Shoe: LimeWire seems to be distributed as a .deb -- so just download it, and double-click. [16:33] th0r: thank you.i time use the addrss update.. [16:33] wizz: there is always a risk when changing your partitions, thats a fact. Just make sure you backup all your data [16:33] hi, 3 variables in bash: HISTFILESIZE HISTSIZE history-size and I'm confused! I'm trying to set bash history to `unlimited'. help, plz [16:34] Hi all. I have an encrypted usb drive. When i insert it gnome prompts me for the password, but it doesnt mount the drive. How can i make gnome auto mount the encrypted drive?

[16:34] grawity, when I tried to download a .deb for the newest firefox, I got an error about something when I doubleclicked it after it finished downloading. Let me try it with limewire before I ask anymore questions though (and the firefox things isn't an issue anymore) [16:34] glphvgacs: There is no "unlimited" - but you can set both HISTSIZE and HISTFILESIE to 1000000 or so., [16:35] Shoe: What error is it? [16:35] something about unstable I think [16:35] Shoe: Also, .debs can be installed from Terminal - using dpkg -i file.deb [16:35] grawity: from bash manual: history-size (0) Set the maximum number of history entries saved in the history list. If set to zero, the number of entries in the history list is not limited. [16:35] My problem is that I have two VPNs (pptp) configured but I can only bring up one at a time with Network Manager from Ubuntu. [16:35] grawity: but it doesn't work [16:35] Shoe: it was probably recommending you to use the version in the software channel [16:36] ##php=##overflow? [16:36] glphvgacs: Where did you find that? (history-size is not mentioned anywhere in 'man bash') [16:36] grawity: I suspect because I have those 2 other variables set to 500 [16:36] but i spent longtime to make my ubuntu like mow. i won't to rebuild it. Trijntje [16:36] grawity: bash4 [16:36] Master: You need to be registered to join that channel, you should have gotten a message from ubottu about that [16:36] Master: You need to register your nick.

[17:27] here's my issue, any ideas?..http://img35.imageshack.us/i/screenshot5c.png/ [17:27] stefg: how do i recover last one [17:27] Guest48657: right, and after that you said that you had 3.5.2 running. === Quentinv57_2 is now known as Quentinv57 [17:27] CyberCr33p: scrot, I think [17:27] babbio: still the same - ssh doesn't accept passwords from the command line [17:27] Hi, is it possible to configure Ubuntu in the way that it powers off USB if in suspend? [17:27] Abomination, thanks [17:27] ltcabral: did you install some new addon or did anything specfial? [17:27] http://img30.imageshack.us/i/screenshot6a.png/ [17:28] before I "updated" to 3.013 I had 3.52 [17:28] Did the recent updates ADD a font to Ubuntu that perhaps doesn't look as nice as what was there previously? [17:28] Guest48657: you have the 3.0 series and the 3.5 series running in parallel, right? [17:28] nOStahl: i removed some viruses from my old xp machine by reformatting the hard drive and installing ubuntu from a pendrive [17:28] stevecoh1: which version of firefox are you using ? [17:28] no [17:28] Guest48657: so how are you starting the browser? [17:28] nOStahl: very low chance of reinfection ;) [17:29] 3.0.13. Prior to last update was 3.0.12 and I think problem was there as well. [17:29] there is an icon at the top of the screen; I click on it [17:29] stefg: didnt install any addon or anything that i can remember [17:29] i use ssh and insert password for the connection every single day since 4 months [17:29] so....ssh accept password [17:29] i have a problem with an external DVD burner (usb), how can i mount this on ubuntu 9.04? [17:30] Guest48657: are you sure that icon is pointing to the correct version of firefox? is there a "Shiretoko" entry in your application menu? [17:30] babbio: *not* from the command line but with its own prompt [17:30] ltcabral: so if a new profile works the error is in your user profile... some bad addon, corrupted database... whatever... i can't guess what it might be [17:30] ok... [17:30] I have no clue where it is pointing to. the first time I have heard of "Shiretoko" is when I logged on to this board [17:31] helo, im looking to use ubuntu as a live environment to remove viruses on a clients xp machine :P [17:31] nko, it mounts when you put a disc in [17:31] which is better: mailutils vs. heirloom-mailx ? [17:31] nko, least, mine does. [17:31] Is there any kind of secure CD ripping app out there for linux/ubuntu? [17:31] Guest48657: is there such an entry in your menu system? if you invoke firefox from the terminal, what do you get? [17:31] hello world, my mic doesn't work, can someone help me to configure it? [17:31] Abomination,ruby [17:31] Abomination,rubyripper [17:31] ltcabral: you might get useful information if you switch back tto your old profile and run 'firefox' from a terminal. YOu might get an error message [17:32] deany: Is that in the repos? [17:32] abomination. i love K3b [17:32] Abomination, asunder is a decent rippoer too, but doesnt rip it twice and scan md5 [17:32] not let me down yet [17:32] II always use the short cut when available. Since there is a short cut availabe for fire fox; I use the short cut [17:32] I don't think k3b has secure ripping [17:32] doeas anyone have any idea what the problem is? [17:32] stefg: cant use last profile.. says its already being used [17:32] does* [17:32] abomintion what do you mean by secure ripping [17:32] Abomination, erm, cant remember... no, from the website I believe [17:32] hmm stevecoh1: i think maybe your default font is changed or a font got corrupt... i am googling right now [17:32] any chroot gurus around? [17:33] nOStahl: Kind of what Exact Audio Ripper does on windows [17:33] Abomination, easy to install.. [17:33] Guest48657: i'm trying to help you debug this problem. if you're not interested in fixing the problem, please continue to avoid answering my questions. [17:33] deany: Thanks, I'll look into it [17:33] Abomination, yeah, lookup rubyripper, you`ll see its inspired by eac [17:33] stevecoh1: you could try asking your question in #firefox channel [17:33] i have got to right now, sorry [17:33] thanks. [17:33] ltcabral: hmmm... there could be some stale lock file in that profile, and you get it back by just deleting it [17:33] good luck fixing firefox [17:34] how do I install 32-bit libs on my 64-bit system? [17:34] abomination try k3b [17:34] stefg: deleting the profile? wont i lose everything? [17:34] deany, k3b does not see it! [17:34] nko, is the icon on your desktop tho [17:35] ltcabral: not deleting the profile... only deleting a .lock or similar named file in the profile folder [17:35] Sorry, I lost connection.. what package do I install to get kde 4.3 after I've added the kubuntu ppa? [17:35] but what you use to burn DVD? [17:35] stefg: where is the profile folder :P [17:35] nko, k3b [17:35] how can i get "wget" to download the entire site not just the 1st page [17:35] nko, detects it on mine. [17:35] nko, try adding it manually in k3b prefs [17:35] I do not make any attempts to "aviod" your questions. I am very new to the type of OS; I have a hard time understanding some of the suggestions you mention. If I click on the short cut and it brings up firefox 3.52 and when I "update" firefox and fire fix restarts; I can only assuime it will restatt what I had previously; yet for somereason this does not happen; if the short cut at the top of the screen does not point to t [17:36] hello world, my mic doesn't work, can someone help me to configure it? [17:36] nko, try *shudder* Brasero [17:36] nko, or are you in KDE [17:36] brianV: you can start by installing "ia32-libs" there are a bunch more in the repositories. try "apt-cache search 32", and filter heavily with grep :-) [17:37] ltcabral: i'm not too familiar with firefox' mechanism of determinig locks, so might better ask in #firefox . you profiles are kept in ~/.mozilla/firefox [17:37] stefg: ok thanks [17:37] Siph0n: ok, I think I have most of those installed [17:37] nko, let me just plug mine in and have a look.. (usb powered liteon :) ) [17:38] I did some jaunty-proposed update yesterday that broke my touchpad. I've fixed this, but I'd like help to figure out which update broke that and reporting it so it doesn't go to jaunty-updates without being fixed. [17:38] nko, what do you get with lsusb ? [17:38] Guest48657: if you're having trouble understanding my suggestions, ask me about it! just do me the courtesy of not ignoring me, thanks. [17:38] brianV, wrong person, u meant sipior i think [17:38] oops [17:38] deany, k3b see it only when i put in an audio CD, when i put a blank-dvd, k3b cancel it from list device === Julian-off is now known as Julian-de [17:38] sipior: I have most of those installed [17:38] Siph0n: the X-chat nickname autocomplete is a bit iffy [17:38] Guest48657: now, do you have a "Shiretoko" entry in your menu system? [17:39] nko, I have to ask (sorry) does it support the media you are inserting? [17:39] While wainting for your response; I closed fire fox; I then used the menu option to restart fire fox; and I still have 3.0.13 [17:39] nko, like, does it support the + or - or both etc... what make is the writer btw ? [17:39] Earlier; I had 3.52 when I cliked on the shortcut [17:39] my dvd is an internal dvd-rw trasformed in an external by an IDE-USB contoller... with lsusb i receive the name of the controller.. [17:39] i've got a Unichrome video card, as of a week ago, GDM crashes when i try to boot Ubuntu [17:39] Guest48657: DO**YOU**HAVE**A**"SHIRETOKO"**ENTRY**IN**YOUR**MENU**SYSTEM? [17:40] any ideas/ [17:40] ? [17:40] * sipior bangs his head on his desk [17:40] under Windows it burn and work very well.. with the same blank dvds [17:41] no [17:41] brianV: who's having issues with XChat autocomplete? [17:41] nko, odd.... I cant suggest anything other than use something else.. I swear by k3b tho... brasero has done nothing for me with the 5 writers ive tried [17:41] deany, i know that the system mount the dvd on /dev/sr1 [17:41] nko, try from shell. [17:41] Guest48657: Alt-F2 and run "firefox-3.5" [17:42] Mike_lifeguard: I do. If you aren't specific enough, it autocompletes for the first name. Ideally, it would just not autocomplete at all until you've typed in enough to narrow it down to a specific nick [17:42] nko, growisofs to burn iso or mkisofs to burn files [17:42] whats a good cli package for 9.04 server to check motherboard/chip temps [17:42] nko, since you know the /dev location === Loginx is now known as Linkadmin [17:42] brianV: There's a great autocomplete script for XChat - ask in #xchat (Khisanth wrote it, IIRC) [17:43] the only item I have found that starts with the letter S is Seamonkey [17:43] brianV: it should be default behaviour, but meh [17:43] nko, seems growisofs does files too :) oops man growisofs [17:43] ltcabral: BTW, teh fiel you're looking for is .parentlock just on the first level in the profile subfolder [17:43] Guest48657: Alt-F2 and run "firefox-3.5" [17:43] exploits [17:43] stefg: i just copied everything inside the last profile folder to the new one :P [17:43] stefg: worked [17:43] nko, or, (not tried it myself) try gnomebaker [17:44] how to pick the right exploit for port 21 [17:44] ? [17:45] goku12205: What is your native language? [17:45] goku12205: port 21 is ftp [17:45] whats the command to get the version of the installed package\program? like vnc4server? [17:45] dumont: aptitude show vnc4server [17:45] i mean port25 smtp [17:46] why is the Update link on the browser disabled? [17:46] dumont, dpkg -l | grep -i vnc4 [17:46] probably because Ubuntu believes in tivoization :\ === imran_ is now known as imrann [17:47] does anyone know when or if "flashplugin" will be upgraded on 9.04? [17:48] hey all i made a ubuntu pendrive 1 gig it says i have 153 megs left of unused space left on it but when i go in nautilus /filesystem i got 43 megs free it says [17:48] smtp 25 exploit [17:48] Guest1855367055, because its packaged and maintained by ubuntu. [17:48] how can i increase the space so i can install an app [17:48] goku12205: what reason do you have to "exploit" port 25? [17:49] Hello All, any news about Intel Graphics driver in Jaunty? [17:49] i'm running a smtp server on my desktop but i'm on my laptop so i wont to exploit it to secure it i found that port25 is open [17:50] goku12205: how does exploiting something secure it? That makes no sense [17:50] hello sipior? Are you still there? [17:51] goku12205: see if you can telnet into it? (telnet :25 [17:51] Where can I find the ./configure options used to build Ubuntu packages?

[17:53] uok fine then wait a sec [17:53] .. [17:53] utente_, why would you want to install debian packages when most of them have been ported to ubuntu. they should work but it's always advised for less breakage to install ubuntu packages [17:53] utente_: debian is a little more cutting edge than ubuntu, so I would suggest sticking with the ubuntu repos [17:54] utente_: no ... not binary compatible. will break box [17:54] palomer, pulseaudio doesn't play nice when using firefox and other apps. there a fix somewhere in ubuntuforums.org [17:54] yah i did [17:54] goku12205: why do you want a telnet server? Most people use ssh now [17:54] new2linx: i haven't seen anything come through yet [17:54] i have ssh to [17:54] utente_: no you cannot add debian repositories. Doing so will most likely break your install [17:54] stefg: uff, i search ksirc but is seems not to exist into ubuntu repositories. [17:55] !info ksirc [17:55] Package ksirc does not exist in jaunty [17:55] new2linx, when my sound dies, how do I revive it?

[17:57] utente_: seems noone was interested in porting ksirc to kde4 and package it for ubuntu... it was in universe, anyway... so it simply dropped off in 8.10 it seems [17:58] new2linx, it does the same with 9.04, which has the pulseaudio bugs [17:59] palomer, i know 9.04 has the pulseaudio bugs but there are fixes per the ubuntuforums.org [17:59] new2linx no i'm in server, i just did apt-key add 387EE263.gpg and it added hopefully that will do it [17:59] yep [17:59] [17:59] dumont, it shoudl [17:59] Can someone help me with FireFox update?

[18:18] rski: Is that so? :P ( #ubuntu-offtopic ) [18:18] icarus, did you tried googling for that? [18:18] !grub | Hilikus [18:18] Hilikus: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [18:18] yep [18:18] curtis_: sure.. go ahead..

If nobody answered your call then, perhaps, nobody knows... [18:27] has anyone tried live android? [18:27] but, after the upgrade to 9.04 just stop working [18:27] nexsja, windows sees it and hotsyncs it, and the 2.1 edition had no trouble with it.

[18:29] genii, thanks :> [18:29] mi lsusb does't show nothing about the ir [18:29] anyone know a very accurate OCR app? [18:29] Anyone knows a good server-monitoring program, open-source (like nagios) [18:29] Nagios works well... [18:29] fhorte_, maybe nagios !? [18:29] any suggestion is appreciated.:) [18:30] fhorte_ zabbix [18:30] i'm using it in my work [18:30] * job [18:30] It depends on the host .. if you are installing Nagios on Ubuntu.. configuration is simple.. [18:30] nex thanks ill try it [18:30] grim_ i dont want to the client running on the actual server [18:30] I dont want apache to be installed on the server [18:31] if you right click and create a share from the gnome gui where does the config go? [18:31] fhorte_, there's a fork of nagios called incinga, I don't know the status of development but you should give it a try [18:31] nexsja, ill try it thanks === imran_ is now known as imrann [18:31] hello [18:31] I know I can use dpkg -s to see if a deb package is installed,but can it used for rpm package? [18:31] hi [18:31] hello [18:31] grim_ ok ill check thx [18:31] np [18:31] does anyone use opensuse liveDE with kde 4.3? [18:31] gbstack: how did you even install the .rpm? [18:31] !rpm [18:31] 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) [18:32] boss_mc: Probably that way ^ [18:32] I need help, I put my sistem to hybernate and now it won't boot [18:32] grawity: that wsa going to be my next question [18:32] boss_mc:I used alien to install the rpm package. [18:32] gbstack: then alien would have given you a .deb, which you installed as normal? [18:32] iptables v1.4.1.1: Unknown arg `--gw' [18:32] gbstack: why use the rpm? firestarter is in the repos [18:33] why --gw unavailable? [18:33] !info firestarter | gbstack [18:33] gbstack: firestarter (source: firestarter): gtk program for managing and observing your firewall. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.0.3-7ubuntu5 (jaunty), package size 406 kB, installed size 1968 kB [18:33] anyone can tell my why I still have upstream bootsplash instead of that with opensuse branding [18:33] ? [18:33] Rafase_282: boot to recovery mode once [18:33] any idea? [18:33] thanks, already did that, it worked [18:34] now going to boot as normal [18:34] can anyone tell me if ubuntu 8.04 has problems with ddr3 (12gig) ? I can boot alright, but the systems hangs when I either shutdown or reboot (no response whatsoever from visual, keyboard or mouse) [18:34] if you right click and create a share from the gnome gui where does the config go? [18:34] boss_mc:because I didn't know there was a firestarter deb package when I installed firestarter... [18:35] damnit. i just killed all my kernels trying to reinstall the latest kernel and now i can't boot into ubuntu. is there a way i can fix that or i just need to reinstall? [18:35] gbstack: well, if you installed the .deb that alien made using dpkg then you can uninstall it that way too [18:36] boss_mc:oh,I see.thank you very much!:) [18:36] does a win32 virus runned trough wine affect a linux system? [18:36] Hilikus: congrats :-) fire up the desktop cd, chroot into your installed system and reinstall the kernel [18:36] Everytime I try to activate my ATI driver (I use Mobility Radeon 9200), after a reboot the computer crash and I have to reinstall Ubuntu 9.04 again... [18:36] anyone got any suggestions of what to do? [18:37] my laptop's hdd is dead, does anyone know the boot option to ignore the physical disk when booting from live cd? [18:37] could someone suggest a bandwidth monitor tool that is NOT CONSOLE MODE? [18:37] stefg the only desktop cd i have is from feisty. could i use that to install the latest kernel? [18:38] kennethd: usually it's a BIOS option - depending on the BIOS it will be or during the boot sequence to get in to the BIOS [18:38] stefg and what is chroot anyway? [18:38] Hilikus: can't tell... since you're going to work in chroot, the jaunty sources are applied. chroot == change root [18:38] hi all ...is anyone familiar with WinFF video converter? i'm trying to convert a .avi to dvd format and i'm unsure of which preset to use [18:39] Hello, Can anyone tell me if ubuntu 8.04 has problems with ddr3 (12gig) ? I can boot alright, but the systems hangs when I either shutdown or reboot (no response whatsoever from visual, keyboard or mouse), thanks [18:39] if you right click and create a share from the gnome gui where does the config go? [18:39] what's the difference between the 32 and 64bit versions of ubuntu? [18:40] Hilikus, 32 bits... :P [18:40] Hilikus: ermm.... you better make a backup of your files and reinstalll [18:40] heheh [18:40] i heard the flash player in the 64bit version is crap. is there such things? programs that work better in one over the other? [18:40] Hilikus: I haven't had any major issues in the 64-bit version [18:40] Hilikus, ubuntu 64 bit will install 32 bit flash player by default [18:40] What is the best bandwidth monitoring tool with a graphical interface (non-console) ? [18:40] stefg yes, that's what i'll do, now i'm trying to decide if i should go with 32bit this time [18:40] timboy and that would make it jumpy? [18:40] paul__: i don't know WinFF, but you're looking for MPEG2 PS and AC3 audio or MP2 audio [18:40] Hilikus: how much ram do you have ? [18:41] stefg 3G [18:41] Hilikus, if you want more than 3GB ram and don't want to mess with kernel then you have to go 64-bit [18:41] Hilikus, no issues ever with 64 bit and flash. Have over 15 machines running it. [18:41] Hilikus: and no upgrade in sight? [18:42] Hey how do I use wget or curl to download just links from a webpage ? [18:42] stefg don't think so. i was running 64bit and the only thing i notice was jumpy flash but i don't know if it was that it was the 64bit version. i heard someone here say that the flash player in 64bit was crap [18:42] disappearedng, wget http://path.to.file [18:42] What is the best bandwidth monitoring tool with a graphical interface (non-console) ? [18:42] anyone know how to find the MAC address of a bluetooth device? [18:43] joeyeye: can you recommend a good video converter ? this one doesnt seem to be doing anything [18:43] grim_ what? how does that just download thelinks? [18:43] that downloads the whole file [18:43] joeyeye: im running jaunty if that helps any [18:43] disappearedng: you will need to download the whole file then filter the links from it [18:43] Dear sirs, I have small issue, every time I boot my Ubuntu Jaunty.. Gnome Pilot applet starts automatically [18:43] Hilikus: the 64bit version has 32bit libs too, so it can run 32bit software... but if you're not going to use more than 3G then 32bit might be more convinient. [18:43] Istames: ok I will use beautifulsoup [18:44] disappearedng, oh sry thought you'd like to download a file [18:44] stefg why is it more convenient? [18:44] can I remove it from startup [18:44] este vreun roman prin zona? [18:44] is there an install option to allow encryption with a keyfile rather than a passphrase [on the alt/server disk]? [18:44] Hilikus, are you sure you installed flashplugin-nonfree and not one of the other two pieces of crap? gnash or one I can't think of it's name [18:44] Hilikus: no need for compatibility hacks... [18:44] timboy yes. it was nonfree [18:45] stefg so there are compatibility issues [18:45] paul__: ffmpeg works for me [18:45] Dear sirs, I have small issue, every time I boot my Ubuntu Jaunty.. Gnome Pilot applet starts automatically. how can I remove it from startup [18:45] timboy it wasnt in all of them, just in some and again, i don't know if it really was because i had ubuntu64 [18:45] Hilikus: not all precompiled software maybe available as 64bit version [18:45] donnybrasco: try hcitool scan [18:46] donnybrasco: or sudo hidd --search [18:46] I dont have the applet installed any more [18:46] ciao [18:46] does anyone know where to get some nice fonts? [18:47] paul__: gstreamer works too [18:47] What is the best bandwidth monitoring tool with a graphical interface (non-console) ? [18:47] if my (fake)raid card is not being detected by the installer, is it possible to manually install drivers for it during install? [18:48] Hilikus: i'm running 64bit, but e.g. i can't run the precompiled seamonkey 2.0 beta from mozilla... it'S done as 32bit. it runs, but all the plugins i have are 64bit, so the plugins don't work [18:48] stefg so it's for precompiled stuff only [18:48] that makes sense [18:48] joeyeye: thanks, but it didn't work hcitool scan only showed a device that's not paired and sudo hidd --search returned nothing [18:48] stefg what is the actual ram limit in 32bits? [18:48] dumont: do you just need something that monitors bandwidth usage, or do you need something with more functionality? [18:49] according to windows i have 3.00GB RAM [18:49] donnybrasco: try hcitool dev ? [18:49] Hilikus: around 3,5 G ... 3,6 minus kernel [18:49] How to find a Joystick which is just connected to a computer in /dev/input, other than /dev/input/js0? [18:49] donnybrasco: try hcitool inq ? [18:49] stefg if i had more than the limit, would it just not use it or there would be instability? [18:50] Removed gnome Pilot applet pops up everytime during the startup, how can I prevent it [18:50] joeyeye: I think I wasn't clear, the cd is in bootorder & ubuntu boots, but it tries to mount sda & errors just spew out for hours until i kill it. I think there is a kernel boot option to ignore the drive (i tried sda=noprobe with no effect) [18:50] Hilikus: that'S teh reason why system builders fit 3 G ... it'S the maximum for 32bit XP [18:50] is there a program that would allow me to see the htm file in a web directory [18:50] Any Help, Removed gnome Pilot applet pops up every time during the start-up, how can I prevent it [18:50] Hilikus: it'S simply not used (beyond max. address) [18:50] lstarnes I need something that sits on my desktop, not too big of a graph and displays BW usage, total, today, upload, download, not too big, not too much functionality [18:51] hi everyone, i have a strange proble with evolution. i tried to delete a folder located in inbox folder and the emails inside that folder were deleted but not the folder itself! the message at the bottom says that the folder cannot be deleted because it is not empty. however i don't see any msgs in the folder!

[19:01] dumont: ...yeah, damn right. If it's so easy to find, find it yourself? [19:01] burkmat: Please don't be rude. [19:01] dumont: I can't think of anything that does exactly what you are asking for, but there is an applet for network monitoring [19:02] i just installed vituralbox on unbuntu 9.04 and the vituralbox icon didnt show ... how do i make it sho up on the menu [19:02] Evening all... [19:02] Flannel: Impatience bugs me, especially when they're rude about it... My apologies.

[19:02] KDE [19:02] bill: easy way log out and log back in.. [19:02] StrangeCharm: you first need to find out your hardware ... read lspci and dmesg. Then you need to determine waht module you need, and if izs there and loaded .. lsmod ... [19:02] Slart, isnt there ... usually should show in the system tools [19:03] dumont: which version of kde? [19:03] I can't install the proper driver for my video card, I really need some help here. [19:03] bill_: you installed it from the repos?

[19:03] Slart, synaptic package manager [19:04] StrangeCharm: if you conclude you have no driver you need to hunt it down with the help of google, compile it (if it exists) install and modprobe it [19:04] bill_: hmm.. try reinstalling it.. just in case something didn't finish [19:04] dumont: you could probably try conky. If it's KDE 4, there may be a plasma applet for network monitoring [19:04] I have the same problem as j484 when I install the ATI driver suggested to my Video card [19:04] Slart,i think there is a command you can write and it will show i think [19:04] any suggestions? [19:04] bill_: have you logged out and logged back in..? [19:05] i have another laptop running ubutnu that is about 8 years old. i have it running 9.04 but it struggles. is there another version that would be a better fit for an older laptop? also, how do i find out what process is making my system hang? === cryptide_away is now known as cryptide [19:05] What is a command that will hang but won't use a lot of resources? I need something to put at the end of my .xinitrc [19:05] whats the "best" channel that has a list of best apps [19:05] !xubuntu | azlon [19:05] azlon: Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of !GNOME. More info at http://www.xubuntu.org and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/ - To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop » - Join #xubuntu for support - See also: !Ubuntu and !Xubuntu-Channels [19:05] azlon: have a look with "top" [19:05] Brazz : i can sort of guess when i login but the main screen is the same, all mashed up and see my wallpaper all tight... [19:05] Charles, LET ME TRY THAT [19:05] does anyone have a workaround for brasero's inability to detect my blank cd-r? [19:05] whats the "best" channel that has a list of best apps? [19:05] imrann: "best" according to who? [19:05] imrann: irc channel? [19:05] stefg, i'm not sure that i have the expertise to parse these files. what should i be looking for, viz comparing the device with its driver? the manufacturer's website lists an open source driver for this device, can i just get that? [19:06] ScottG: What exactly do you want it to do? You want a command that simply waits? [19:06] !best | imrann [19:06] imrann: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [19:06] bill_: I installed the binary from virtualbox.org.. and that is what I did.. [19:06] StrangeCharm: can you run a Live CD on that machine ? [19:06] Flannel, thats what i was loooing for - that channel, thanks!!! [19:06] ScottG: I think there is a "sleep" command [19:06] J484: well my problem is just after installing my video card's driver [19:07] I've been in this channel yelling for help for about 1 hour now but its hard for people to help me, for some reason [19:07] bill_: it did work on all 3 of my boxes..did not know VB was in the repositories [19:07] burkmat: Yea. My X starts with .xinitrc. But at the end it needs a command to hang on. [19:07] Slart: thanks. i am using the older laptop to play video files from another machine? is there a program that is less resource intensive than another? like vlc or something? [19:07] stefg, yes. does the server disk not have the tools i need? [19:07] Brazz: perhaps you can improve your question.. have a look at the !details factoid [19:07] !ati | Brazz [19:07] Brazz: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [19:07] i see lines... problem is how can we troubleshoot if the screen is all fuzzy [19:07] Slart: Yea I guess i could just put a really large number to sleep on [19:07] hmm [19:08] I belive my cocked up when i accepted the kernel update [19:08] Simple question: I'm running GNOME 2.26. I'd like to make a shortcut on my desktop to launch a dedicated quake 3 server in a console. There's no "run in terminal checkbox." If the command is "q3 +vars", what should have tell the launcher to do? [19:08] ScottG: Aah.. Well then sleep is no good, because eventually it will finish. ;) I... don't know really. Maybe have it ask for input and never give any? [19:08] azlon: I've actually never measured that.. not sure if vlc is "lighter" than any of the others.. [19:08] StrangeCharm: you need a working environment first that gives you the neede info [19:08] ScottG, burkmat: echo "" | less [19:08] Slart: i will just do a little trial and error. thanks! [19:08] azlon: good luck [19:08] farfignugens [19:08] Flannel: Interesting solution, good idea. :) [19:08] not sure, gse7en try changing the "type" to app in terminal or what ever it says [19:09] My Ubuntu machine says that "Only one software management tool is allowed to tun at the same time" even though I have no other windows open and have restarted my computer 3 times. Any help? [19:09] is there a safe mode option in ubuntu? [19:09] gse7en: if you want it to run in a visible terminal you can use "gnome-terminal".. man gnome-terminal for options [19:09] Shu: Perhaps something is running in the background. Have you tried waiting for it to finish? [19:09] j484r: there is a recovery mode in the boot menu [19:09] stefg, even if i already know the exact device and where to get the driver? [19:09] gse7en: you can also run "bash" with some switches.. that won't show up on your screen though.. but it will run in the background [19:10] Slart That's not the objective. The objective is to run a program in terminal using a shortcut on the GNOME desktop, not to run a terminal. [19:10] Can anyone help me in postfix+dovecot troubleshouting? [19:10] Can anyone help me in postfix+dovecot troubleshouting? [19:10] yes [19:10] grub menu? [19:10] I have tried the && switch and to pipe the command into terminal, neither worked. [19:10] grebur: what do you need ? [19:10] burkmat, I've restarted my computer 3 times, and it's been sitting logged in for 20 minutes without me thouching anything because I wasn't even at my computer after I signed in [19:10] gse7en, why not just create a bash script instead of a shortcut? === stefg_ is now known as stefg [19:11] MK13 would that run in the foreground in a terminal? [19:11] gse7en: and "gnome-terminal -e top" doesn't qualify as a shortcut? [19:11] greybur: what is Ur issue ? [19:11] Shu: Huh... Using GNOME? If so, is there any gray symbol in the status bar saying anything about updates in progress? [19:11] Slart Where's the Q3 command go in that? [19:11] gse7en, yea, i use that way to run an UrbanTerror server in terminal [19:11] anyone know where I would find my .asoundrc file? [19:11] gse7en: you put it there instead of "top" [19:12] sudo find / -name .asoundrc [19:12] Excellent. [19:12] maybe it's in ~/.asoundrc though? [19:12] Is there a channel to just ask about what ppl recommend I do if im new to ubuntu and just kinda wanna get my grip on it? [19:12] imrann: we can recommend stuff.. just don't ask what is "best" =) [19:12] !best [19:12] Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [19:12] burkmat, yes, gnome, but where's the statusbar? Is it one of the two bars on the top and bottom of my screen? Because there's no gray symbols on either [19:12] imrann: but you'll have to give us some background.. what you want to achieve and such [19:12] not that i know of imrann , just play, have fun, break stuff, then fix it [19:13] Slart that did the trick, cheers. [19:13] cheers istarnes!! didn't realise i had to press esc when it loads... using vbox... [19:13] If this wasn't my only computer, and its a dualboot, i would have broke it already :d [19:13] imrann, writing scripts to automate bash commands in python sounds like fun? [19:13] imrann: I suggest you start by getting used to the command line interface (CLI). google "linux basics termminal" or such and just play around. :) [19:13] What do i want to achieve... A system that replaces Windows well without going over board, and still having fun with it [19:14] stefg, i gues my question is whether the live environment with a gui is that much more important than the environment on the installer? [19:14] I put ubuntu on my PS3 and PWNED with terminal [19:14] Shu: Hm... what are you trying to install? [19:14] But still don't no all the commands like man things n all the sudos n what not. [19:14] thanks dare [19:14] > guys..am on linux. using ff 3.5. when i play scrabble i get only 50% of the scrabble game page..any solutions? [19:14] if I wanted to record audio from my playback device what program would you recommend? [19:14] dare, do you bone when you say the word python to yourself? [19:14] imrann: Well... When I'm bored I just sit down with bash, type a letter and double-tab, find an app that looks remotely interesting and read the man-page. :P [19:14] aaroninfidel: audio recorder [19:14] burkmat, a limewire .deb that I downloaded. I get to the packege installer, click install, and then I get the error [19:15] aaroninfidel: not sure if audactiy can do it.. give it a try [19:15] lol [19:15] !info audacity [19:15] audacity (source: audacity): A fast, cross-platform audio editor. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.3.7-2ubuntu1 (jaunty), package size 1949 kB, installed size 5380 kB [19:15] How to read the "man" page [19:15] StrangeCharm: actually you're right... it's more a matter of comfort... AND: you won't be able to precompile a driver from the installer, but from a Live environment with gui [19:15] Sorry, that was a question meant to put a ? at the end [19:15] aaaarrhhh, back to square one again.... LOL [19:15] aaroninfidel: its installed by default. apllications - media (dont know the english translation) [19:15] imrann: if you want to read the man page for.. say the "ls" command.. you type "man ls" in a terminal [19:16] bouke [19:16] > guys..am on linux. using ff 3.5. and flash plugin 10. when i play scrabble in facebook. i get only 50% of the scrabble game page..any solutions? [19:16] why not learn how to use vi? [19:16] blackbeard_: let me guess.. the rest of the page is black? [19:16] iceroot: yes, but how do I make it record my playback device rather then my microphone? [19:16] stefg, the installer disk doesn't have the tools needed to compile a driver from a .tar? [19:16] aaroninfidel: choose device [19:16] ran the recovery console and did all the repair possible... and booted up normal and still the same problem.. could be vbox caused this problem ...? [19:16] not exactly Slart [19:16] How much Swap space is required to enable Hibernate? Same amount as RAM ? [19:16] Flinty: yes [19:16] StrangeCharm, the installer disc does not even have ruby!! :( [19:16] Flinty: at least [19:16] Hello everyone. Whenever I try "modprobe kvm-intel" I get this error: "WARNING: All config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/options, it will be ignored in a future release." and nothing else Whats that mean? [19:17] StrangeCharm: not in the installer environment ... you need gcc, binutils and the kernel headers [19:17] blackbeard_: oh.. we've had some people with half-black screens in ff35.. might not be the same problem then [19:17] iceroot: the only thing I have for input is "Capture" [19:17] i can only view 50% of scrabble on the entire grid [19:17] Can someone tell me how can i get process list through SNMP ? I DONT WANT any mrtg like cacti nagios, whatever [19:17] burkmat, still there? [19:17] cheers [19:17] Flinty, i normally go a tad more than ram....just incase i have data in swap.... already used swap + ram ..... [19:17] Atarian, mrtg cacti nagios? [19:17] aaroninfidel: hm, strange. other apps are detecting line-in? [19:18] stefg, i suppose that i'll just start a live session. but where am i going to put the compiled driver when i'm done, so that it's available in the installer? [19:18] dare a pure snmpget function or snmpwalk one... [19:18] StrangeCharm: floppy... usb-stick... [19:18] ic [19:18] I'll aim for 2.5GB swap as I have 2GB RAM [19:18] Shu: Yeah, thinking... I'm not too familiar with how it determines if something is working. Try running `sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade`. [19:18] Artarian: not sure if there are any simple snmp clients... perhaps you could write something in python/perl or similar [19:18] where is the python package directory in ubuntu? [19:18] Shu: That might give us a hint. [19:18] iceroot: I haven't tried with any other apps. [19:18] somebody could have a script with that [19:19] burkmat, my Ubuntu machine isn't connected to the internet. Does that matter? [19:19] slayton: how do you mean? package directory? [19:19] stefg, let's see if i can rustle up one of those. switching to live disk now [19:19] Shu: Ah... Never mind then. ;) Was attempting to update it. Try running `sudo apt-get -f install`, maybe something is stuck in the pipes. :) [19:19] slayton: you can run "where python" in a terminal to see folders that contain the word "python" [19:19] Slart, ok I'll try that [19:20] ubuttu: thank you [19:20] I can connect it to the internet burkmat, just let me hook it up. I'll be back in about 30 seconds [19:20] Ubottu: Thank yu [19:20] Sorry, I don't know anything about Thank yu [19:20] Shu: Alright. [19:20] dare: it's in my home folder, now how do I edit that file? :) sorry if it's a dumb question [19:20] Slart: http://i27.tinypic.com/154im39.png [19:20] how do i pass each line of a file to the same command in bash [19:20] like if i wanted to ping 5 hosts [19:21] StrangeCharm: BTW i got disconnected after i asked you what disk controller that is... maybe there'S a tutorial or even som 3rd party .deb for it [19:21] al_x: ...and you had a file with IPs in it? [19:21] blackbeard_: hmm.. annoying.. not sure what to do about that === Shoe is now known as Shu [19:21] burkmat, okay. What was that command again? [19:21] ok Slart tyvm for your time [19:21] stefg what about the proprietary nvidia video drivers, are those available in 64bit or they run in compatibility mode? [19:21] blackbeard_: you're welcome.. let us know if you find out how to fix it [19:21] al_x: could try something like `cat IP_list | xargs -n 1 ping -c 1 `? [19:22] ok on a 500gig drive what is the format time. how long should I look at the 33% partition status [19:22] ? [19:22] Hilikus: available as 64bit [19:22] Shu: `sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade` [19:22] stefg, it's a highpoint rocketraid 1540 controler (faekraid) but i'm going to use it as a plain sata controler to install a softraid on. [19:22] panzer: just wait it will jump.. [19:22] E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. [19:22] panzer: I think it depends a little on the file system.. but you'll have time to get some coffee.. 20 minutes or more [19:22] Thats what it gave me burkmat [19:22] Shu: Try doing what it said. :) [19:22] dagnabbit....can't seem to install my wireless driver [19:23] StrangeCharm: i see... why not bypass that useless piece of hardware and plug the disks directly to the MB ? [19:23] Hey all: I would like to create a symlink that automatically expands to the original path: in other words, I want to go to ~/folder and have that automatically direct me to /dev/blah/blah/blah/folder -- can I do that with symlinks? if not, how can I do that? [19:23] Slart: thanks I left and went and got lunch when trying the 320gig and it still had not moved [19:23] panzer: ouch.. [19:23] Processing triggers for man-db ... [19:23] Processing triggers for doc-base ... [19:23] Processing 2 added doc-base file(s)... [19:23] Registering documents with scrollkeeper... [19:23] chase@chase-desktop:~$ [19:23] Shu: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. === blognewb is now known as blognewb_ [19:23] whoops [19:23] tavi: use vi.. ln -s [19:23] stefg, because i don't have enough sata ports on the mobo [19:23] can anyone help me modify my ~/.asoundrc file? [19:23] what determines whether a useradd newuser has administrative privilages like root or not? where are the privilages define and setup? also does useradd simply make the lowest privilaged user above guest? [19:23] anyways, thats what I got burkmat [19:24] Installed Ubuntu 9.04 on my Dell XPS M1530..its suffering from the hard drive clicking noise.. some fixes suggest it should be done while others warn you could burn out your hard drive... anyone have any suggestions? === blognewb_ is now known as blognewb [19:24] I'm in console mode [19:24] Slart : sure [19:24] Shu: Try installing your .deb again. :) Also, if you need to paste multiple lines in the future, use http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/ :) [19:25] StrangeCharm: ok... so would it be an option to first only connect one disk to the mobo, install and set up and then putting the system over to the raid? [19:25] hmm...every time i try to open a windows driver as per the ndiswrapper instructions all it tells me is that its not a zip file :( [19:25] burkmat does useradd -r user mean that the -r option creating a system account mean that it is like root account? [19:26] how can I look up which user has which privilages via console? [19:26] stefg, because i don't want the whole system on the raid, only certain directories [19:26] StrangeCharm: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=814510 [19:27] dumont: Uhm... My useradd doesn't seem to have an -r switch. [19:27] burkmat: try adduser [19:27] th0r: Well, he asked about a specific useradd switch. :p figured he meant useradd. [19:27] is there anyway to enable the keyboard right click menu button to simulate a right click in kde? on my netbook, my touchpad right click does not work for some reason. does anyone know of a solution. the button on the keyboard does open the rightclick menu in applications such as firefox and pidgin but nothing at all if used on the desktop or anywhere else for kde itself. [19:28] StrangeCharm: fine ... so just install the / (root) system first to one directly connected disk... you can then make the raid when you have already an installed system... much easier [19:28] Well, you can _turn it off_ (i.e. recover from a bad install) by booting in single-user terminal mode, editing your xorg.conf file, and changing the driver from whatever it is to "driver VESA". [19:28] burkmat: ah.....sorry [19:28] i am getting slightly annoyed at having to reinstallmy graphics drivers every couple of weeks [19:28] Since compiz depends on the 3-d graphics which aren't supported in VESA, it will drop back to metacity or whatever else you have. [19:29] burkmat, now I get this message in the status in the package installer: [19:29] Error: Failed to satisfy all dependencies (broken cache) [19:29] oopps... delayed response. [19:29] stefg, so it's possible to move (say) /home to another disk later on in the process? [19:29] stefg, as in, post install? [19:29] StrangeCharm: yes [19:29] StrangeCharm: welcome to the wonderful of unixoid operating systems :-) ... [19:29] StrangeCharm, yes http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome [19:29] Charles: that wont function as a redirect, though [19:29] how do i find the device path to my usb device? ubuntu 9.04 [19:30] tavi: ah.. must have misunderstood your question.. [19:30] saprophyte, what type of usb device? [19:30] How can I make md5sum file for all the files in a folder? [19:30] Shu: Hmm... Try `sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get check`? [19:30] Halitech it is a GPS reciever [19:30] Keiffer: md5sum /some/folder/* I think [19:30] saprophyte, try lsusb [19:31] stefg, C-S-B, Halitech thanks for that, and sorry for wasting so much of your time working out that was what was needed [19:31] Keiffer, you could tar or compress them. [19:31] I have ubuntu 64bit on vbox and recently ran some updates. When it rebooted it screen is all smashed up wiuth lines and swash up... would anybody know if this is a ubuntu problem or vbox? [19:31] Halitech its shows up there, on bus 2 it says, but im looking for the path like /dev/whatever .... noob here [19:31] now what burkmat [19:31] Slart, yes, but I want to export them to a .md5 file [19:31] for later verify [19:32] E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f. [19:32] Shu: Does it work? ^^ [19:32] durt, why? why would that help me? [19:32] E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f. burkmat [19:32] Keiffer: md5sum /some/folder/* > yourfile.md5 ? [19:32] saprophyte: /dev/ttyUSB0 [19:32] Shu: Ah... Try using -f. :P `sudo apt-get -f install` [19:32] y/n burkmat? [19:32] Keiffer, what do you mean export them to a .md5? [19:32] saprophyte, if its on bus 2 then probably /dev/ttyUSB1 but I'm guessing [19:32] durt, yes. [19:33] Shu: Huh? [19:33] you can just see if your receiving a gps signal by cat'ing the device [19:33] j484r, probably a driver issue with the video card [19:33] Do you want to continue [Y/n] [19:33] Slart, Thanks! it works! Tried with -a --all and stuff [19:33] Shu: I don't know, do you? :P It's kind of hard without knowing what it's asking, but usually it's Yes... [19:33] try 'cat /dev/ttyUSB0' or 'cat /dev/ttyUSB1' [19:33] hi .. can someone point me to where I can learn how to create a custom ubuntu? [19:33] Sorry for all of the questions. This is my first day with Ubuntu [19:34] Slart, do you know how to include subfolders and how could I compare that md5 file? [19:34] Halitech Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0bda:0158 is what lsusb shows for it sor /dev/ttyUSB1 ? [19:34] So its is it ubuntu bug or vbox bug Halitech? [19:34] Shu: No problem, it's just difficult to answer a Yes/No question without knowing the question. ^^ [19:34] It said it would do something that would take up 103MB..... <_< [19:34] saprophyte: try the commands 'cat /dev/ttyUSB0' or 'cat /dev/ttyUSB1' === ubuntu is now known as jucajuca [19:34] is there a channel specific to unr? [19:35] j484r, neither, incompatiblility between xorg and your video card drivers [19:35] saprophyte: once you see any data then you know you got the right one [19:35] both are not valid directory [19:35] Keiffer: I would do something like "find ./ -exec md5sum {} \;" [19:35] jjg, http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/minimal [19:35] Shu: It's probably trying to fix the broken dependencies or update. [19:35] Keiffer: you can modify that to only find actual files and not folders.. check "man find" for more switches and voodoo [19:36] hei, I tried to rescue my grub but Ive done a root(hdX,X) to the wrong place and now I get the message unrecognized commands in grub [19:36] That is interesting, your'll have to forgive me... was working prior the kernel update i did... Halitech [19:36] does someone knows how to solve this [19:36] Halitech, thanks [19:36] j484r, try reinstalling the vbox addons [19:36] saprophyte: send me the output of lsusb and ill let you know [19:36] Slart, thanks !! i'll do that [19:36] burkmat, it brought up something in the terminal that looks like it was written in C++, with 14 different bullets and at the bottom [19:36] I know this is off topic but I just wanna say YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING AND HELPED WITH EVERY PROBLEM ID HAD AND KEEP UP THE AMAZING, GREAT WORK! [19:37] Shu: I... Have no idea what that is, but if I had to guess I'd say it's an EULA. [19:37] Keiffer: find ./ -type f -exec {} \; will only find files.. [19:37] Halitech .. if I want to create a custom installation medium with all of the packages i want, do I simply install ubuntu .. configure it how i want, then use a utility or something to burn installation media? [19:37] imrann, the spirit of Ubuntu at work :) [19:37] how can i check how much ram i have? [19:37] wait burkmat , I figured out how to click [19:37] halitech All hail Gnu :D [19:37] It was for some Java stuff [19:37] Slart: What are you trying to do with find? [19:37] StrangeCharm: free -.m [19:37] Keiffer: sorry, find ./ -type f -exec md5sum {} \; will only find files.. [19:37] Shu: Ah. Well you probably want to accept that EULA. [19:37] Slart, yep I see that. It's helpful. Now I am trying to find out how to export all to a file [19:37] burkmat: creating a recursive md5sum thing [19:37] jjg, yes http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/remastersys [19:38] Keiffer: just add > somefile.md5 at the end [19:38] maybe find ./ -type f -exec md5sum > file.md5 {} \; [19:38] Halitech, thanks [19:38] Slart: Ah. Alright, looked quite odd with -exec not filled with anything. :p [19:38] Keiffer: use >> instead of > ... >> means add to file.. > means replace [19:38] hi [19:38] Keiffer: or just put it at the very end.. [19:39] does ubuntu burn .nrg images by default? [19:39] Keiffer: find ./ -type f -exec md5sum {} \; > checksum.md5 [19:39] Slart, Keiffer; Wouldn't you want to `md5sum {} > md5filethingy`? [19:39] Slart, super. How did you learn all the syntax? [19:39] Keiffer: blood, sweat and tears.. mostly tears I think =) [19:39] hi, I tried to rescue my grub but Ive done a root(hdX,X) to the wrong place and now I get the message unrecognized commands in grub [19:39] Slart, cool. But any manual? :P [19:39] burkmat: won't that just overwrite the md5 file for every file [19:39] anyone know why the keyboard shortcuts preference window doesn't accept keys in combination with the super key? [19:39] Keiffer: "man find" =) [19:40] hey all. still looking for some help with my graphics, radeon HD 4200 [19:40] elitedevx, http://paste.ubuntu.com/248167/ [19:40] burkmat, that's useful too [19:40] Processing triggers for libc6 ... [19:40] ldconfig deferred processing now taking place [19:40] Slart: Yeah, my point was more that you needed `md5sum blah >> file` rather than `md5sum >> file blah` that you had in an earlier commandline. :) [19:40] burkmat, it's done [19:40] but now more confused than ever since web says this should be already supported [19:40] Shu: Everything working? [19:40] I'll try [19:40] Keiffer, Slart : and after a while with unix/linux everything just falls into place ... once you got the hang, everything is quite logical [19:41] saprophyte: your usb gps is not being detected. is it plugged in? is the device powered on? [19:41] kamen, did you check hardware drivers and see if the driver was there? [19:41] burkmat: ah.. I wrote that? anyways.. I agree totally [19:41] elitedevx it is, when i unplug it, the realtek mass storage dissapears [19:41] if an application (nexuiz) takes control of the mouse [19:41] halitech: not sure what you mean [19:41] how can i return the mouse to ubuntu so i can reply to IM etc [19:41] saprophyte: what model of gps is it? [19:41] elitedevx tomtom one [19:42] kamen, hardware drivers under the system menu (I think) should have the proprietary drivers if they exist [19:42] stefg, yea.. maybe. I have it for 4 moths now, and I only regret I didn't saw how powerful it is [19:42] halitech: yes, its there but enabling that one causes much grief. its ugly, and has already resulted in my reinstalling once [19:43] guys, moving from debian5 to ubuntu server, will aptitude have faster/more updated packages for me? [19:43] Keiffer: "find" is one of those very useful commands to know.. any time you spend reading that man page is time well spent.. it will help you many times in the future [19:43] kamen, what do you mean by its ugly? [19:43] however, http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=NzQyOQ this says the open source ones should already support my board fully. and I cant figure out why it aint workin [19:43] elitedevx, i power cycled the gps and got this in lsusb now Bus 003 Device 002: ID 1390:0001 TOMTOM B.V. [19:43] amd64: debian is faster then ubuntu with updates [19:44] halitech: when I enable fglrx for this thing under the hardware drivers, I get the "unsupported hardware" watermark in the corner and things start freezing [19:44] Slar, yesterday i got stuck a the mentioned command. didnt read it cause it was soo lenghty [19:44] burkmat, it's working! Thank you [19:44] kamen, ok, so what do you mean by the open source drivers aren't working? [19:44] is there a problem with the repos? [19:44] Sorry i disconnected [19:44] whats the shutdown cmd for ubuntu in text mode? [19:44] hello [19:44] amd64: rumour has it that ubuntu is an ancient african saying for: i can't configure debian [19:44] Shu: Excellent, and no problem. :) Welcome to Ubuntu btw. [19:44] ryan8403_work: working fine here [19:44] I just used sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and a screen came up with this description: [19:44] Rather than communicating directly with the video hardware, the X server │ [19:44] │ may be configured to perform some operations, such as video mode │ [19:44] │ switching, via the kernel's framebuffer driver. │ [19:44] │ │ [19:44] │ In theory, either approach should work, but in practice, sometimes one │ [19:44] Brazz: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [19:44] j484r: poweroff [19:45] j484r: or maybe shutdown -h now [19:45] if using two independent disks, and anticipating very memory-intensive operations, is it advisable to put a swap area on each? [19:45] j484r: shutdown -h/-r
