[00:07] its coming [00:07] something animal [00:07] Cyber_Akuma, jaunty jakalope [00:07] jaunty jackalope or sth? === evilChari is now known as charitwo [00:07] Cyber_Akuma: every version is smething animal [00:07] Cyber_Akuma: every release has a silly somthing animal. code name...:) [00:07] I know [00:07] Cyber_Akuma, the latest alpha is Karmic Koala [00:08] Cyber_Akuma, but that isnt available as astable build yet [00:08] Cyber_Akuma, sry for typing, kinda drunk :p [00:08] lol [00:08] actually that wasnt too bad [00:08] hmm [00:09] i have a problem with my laptop, it shuts down when i open flash video fullscreen i have kubuntu 9.04 and it do it whit any browser [00:09] well i don't remember myself being on here, so unless i was doing it subconsciensly (which would be really cool) nope [00:09] tho i think i found a lead to my prob [00:09] nacho_, 64bit? [00:09] <[criipt]> !psp [00:09] For information on using the PlayStation Portable with Ubuntu, please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PSP [00:09] hi all... how do I configure Network manager so that certain IPs get routed through a different IP? [00:09] Cyber_Akuma: you can always cat /etc/lsb-release [00:10] how can I install packages if I don't have a network [00:10] ? [00:10] convergence, use another machine to DL [00:10] convergence: some how download them via a different machine and copy them over/install. [00:10] !aptoncd [00:10] APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers - See also !offline [00:10] b3rzerk3r: no [00:10] convergence, Or you can use the Ubuntu CD / DVD as a package repository [00:10] nacho_, im sry, idk then :( [00:11] Hi... someone could recommend a office suite ? I need a lightweight one... [00:11] b3rzerk3r: ty anyway [00:11] komentar1e_listy, Open Office? [00:11] b3rz3rk3r: too heavy... [00:11] komentar1e_listy: for a word processor i tend to use abiword. as for the rest of the suit.. no idea. [00:11] i'm looking here: http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/wifi-radar and don't know what to download [00:11] Dr_Willis: thanks for info.... is dircproxy better? [00:11] then theres koffice stuff.. but never tried it. [00:12] komentar1e_listy, i really dont know any others tbh.. [00:12] i know that i can install from source, but i don't want to stray from the provided package manager [00:12] Dr_Willis: Thanks. How lightweight it is ? [00:12] ameros: better for what? :) [00:12] Dr_Willis: can i use it in a 128mb(ram) box ? [00:12] komentar1e_listy: the term 'lightweight' means very little .... Its lighter then MS Office... :) [00:12] hiding ip [00:12] ok, nevermind, think i figured it out [00:13] komentar1e_listy: ive seen Openoffice run on 128mb machines.. with swap space.. abiword is like a 3 mb download. [00:13] convergence: Go to the ubuntu repository and download the .deb file. Then install it via "dpkg -i" and look what's missing. [00:13] Dr_Willis: I know... i as searching something like Siag(that is really lightweight) [00:13] Dr_Willis: Thanks, I'll give a try [00:13] komentar1e_listy: ive been using Puppy Linux , and Tiny Core linux - for my low end box's [00:13] Why is it that Ubuntu 8.x and 9.x have a different network utility than 7.x? The new one doesn't have a whole lot of options. [00:13] komentar1e_listy: openoffice can run on Puppylinux :) [00:13] komentar1e_listy: it all boils down to what features you need I guess. [00:14] Dark_Wolf: It's called improvement. [00:14] I realize that, but now I can't set a host name or domain [00:14] !hostname [00:14] Dark_Wolf: For me, the network manager works fine. Just the bluetooth part could be better... or working at all. [00:14] Use hostname to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts . WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. Alternatively, use the gui at System > Administration > Networking on the "General" tab [00:14] or at least, I can't find where to [00:14] Dr_Willis: I need basic formatation... I need to open .doc/.rft files... only these [00:14] hello [00:14] Dark_Wolf: Hm? What do you mean with "set a host name or doman"? [00:15] komentar1e_listy: .doc is a vastly varied format.. depending on who.what made themn.. abiword may or may not format/keep the frmating right. [00:15] i've tried asking in #kubuntu, but no answer so far... this is more of an APT issue than anything, though... [00:15] komentar1e_listy: for best .doc compat. You may have to use Openoffice [00:15] how do I reinstall the default pulseaudio configuration files at /etc/pulseaudio ? [00:15] Hmm [00:15] komentar1e_listy, i think you will struggle to find a full office suite other than Open Office... if you dont need a full suite and just want to do text edits, look into abiword or the basic text editor even. For file compatibility.. just use Open Office (it isnt that heavy) [00:15] I don't appear to have Networking in the menu [00:15] only Network Tools [00:15] i installed KDE 4.3 from a PPA source on my Kubuntu 9.04 system, and it's pretty broken. i'd like to 'downgrade' back to KDE 4.2 that comes with Ubuntu 9.04. [00:15] what's the apt magic i'd need to o? (aside from step 1: remove the apt-src :) ) [00:16] b3rz3rk3r: I have it here, is not working very well in my ancient machine... i need basic stuff and i need to work fast. But thanks, I'll give a try [00:16] Dark_Wolf: Yes. It's no longer installed by default. [00:16] i have a problem with my laptop, it shuts down when i open flash video fullscreen i have kubuntu 9.04 and it do it whit any browser [00:16] Dark_Wolf: Because networkmanager does most of it. [00:17] bankix, That's what I was wondering [00:17] I like the old interface better :P [00:17] network-admin, right?: [00:17] komentar1e_listy, if you are just text editing, then the regular app should be fine.. if you want to use spreadsheets or whatever, maybe try Koffice (KDE apps are knwon to be a bit lighter than Gnome ones) [00:17] Dark_Wolf: Just install gnome-network-admin. [00:17] bonsoir [00:18] bankix, thanks [00:18] b3rz3rk3r: Thanks. Koffice work with .doc ? [00:18] komentar1e_listy, yes it should be just fine [00:18] how cna I do a site survey of wireless networks from the CLI without installing Kismet, etc [00:18] * kendrick consults google in the meantime [00:18] 'works with .doc' is a HUGE thing. :) heh.. theres always the chanch of some .doc features not working [00:18] b3rz3rk3r: thank you ;) [00:18] komentar1e_listy, np [00:19] alrighty, bed time for me.. night all [00:19] jeeves: theres a lot of cli wireless tools.. dependign on your needs. and what you mean by 'site survey' [00:20] Hi. Does anyone know how to install Doom3? Got the .run file, installed it, copied the .pak files, but all i get are corrupted start scripts [00:21] #brasil [00:21] bah, the xubuntu cd label I tried to make looks like crap [00:21] Neroon: try --> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Doom3 ? [00:21] Dr_Willis, the server in question is sitting @ a location that's a stattellite office, and I need to make sure no one has installed an AP, or anything dumb. There are some questionable things going on over there, and I need to find out before I drive over there [00:22] Dr_Willis: Thanks, I'll have a look === Baconizer is now known as BACOOOOOOOOOOOOO === BACOOOOOOOOOOOOO is now known as BACOOOOOOOON [00:23] jeeves: well there are a great many wireelss cli tools. but ive only used a small small small fraction of them. There are cli wireless commands to scan/show all wireless access points.. [00:24] Dr_Willis, thanlks. I guess I'll just install kismet then [00:24] jeeves: or learn the tools.. do what you want i guess.. === BACOOOOOOOON is now known as Baconizer [00:24] Why is this script not starting deluge properly? http://pastebin.com/m2ca47932 [00:24] Dr_Willis, lol, I think Kismet will be the best. I can configure it to watch for new APs or clients and then I can remotley monitor it [00:25] sudo iwlist eth1 scan # eth1 is my wireless card. [00:25] scans/shows all AP's in range [00:25] Is there any way to force wget to use binary transfer mode? [00:25] is there a way to add something to the ubuntu live cd without rebuilding the entire thing? [00:26] intx: Yes, pretty easy. [00:27] intx: Just mount filesystem.squashfs loop somewhere, then copy everything into a new (writable) directory [00:27] after hibernate on a dell e6400 it boots saying its restoring the system but it just boots like normal [00:27] intx: Then mount -bind proc, sys and dev to that directory, and jump into it with chroot. [00:27] intx: Do whatever you like, install packages, whatever. Log out. [00:28] Anyone? [00:28] intx: Then use mksquashfs to repack filesystem.squashfs. When done, exchane filesystem.squashfs on the CD and burn a new one. [00:29] ollie_: I think what you want to do is run the commands without su in the script, and then run the script with su [00:30] When I try to establish an openvpn connection, I get this error - ** (nm-applet:9088): WARNING **: Error in getting active connection 'Vpn' property: (19) Method "Get" with signature "ss" on interface "org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties" doesn't exist [00:30] * Simkin waves goodbye [00:30] ** (nm-applet:9088): WARNING **: _nm_object_array_demarshal: couldn't create object for /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/ActiveConnection/6 [00:30] th0r: its a start up script, how would i get the user deluge to run those commands at startup?

[00:33] bakix: thanks [00:33] Is it standard permissions "drwx--S---" for home directory? [00:33] Dr_Willis: uhh not sure, the script is in /etc/init.d/ [00:33] ollie: do you know how to set up routes using Network Manager? [00:33] bankix: thanks [00:33] intx: May I ask what you're planning to do? [00:33] ollie_: those are for 'services' If you have specific commands you want to run. You can run stuff explicatly from /etc/rc.local putting that script in /etc/init.d wont 'run it' [00:33] My Xorg usage is using 100% of one of my cores. [00:33] Any suggestions?

Then you don't need to repack the CD. [00:34] HEY dose anybody know how to change their themes? [00:34] bankix: i am using an usb stick.. is that complicated? [00:34] Dr_Willis: Well basically i just want those commands to run at startup, so how do i do that? [00:34] intx: What for are you using the stick? For booting? [00:34] yeah [00:34] i'm not actually using a live cd as much as ubuntu live usb [00:35] intx: Ah. I think you should prefer repacking the filesystem.squashfs then. [00:35] ollie_: put theim in /etc/rc.local [00:35] Can someone tell me how to change my Theme from defult to dusk i cant find it out [00:35] bankix: yeah, thanks :) it's exactly what i wanted [00:35] Dr_Willis: thanks [00:35] Anyone?

I backed up all my files in .zip format and transferred them back over to the ubuntu install with ftp. ubuntu complains that the zip files are corrupted, running unzip with -F or -FF doesn't work.

[00:36] bankix, never mind, found it :P [00:37] Dr_Willis: do you know how to configure specific routes using network manager? [00:37] rreyes: nope. never had to mess with that. [00:37] what would cause an Ubuntu box (running on WiFi) to cause the Wireless connection to slow to a crawl after ~20 mins of being connected? If I'm wired, it's fine, but if I connect via Wireless, the AP slows for everyone to a crawl. [00:37] pagoda: i had that same problem, fixed it by right clicking on the battery icon and unchecking some of the boxes relating to dimming the display. [00:38] pagoda: or go to system->preferences->power management [00:38] how do you configure routes on Jaunty then, Dr_Willis? [00:38] I found out how to change my theme LOL its was in Apearence [00:38] lol [00:38] tsmith, thanks [00:38] is there something like iMovie for linux, maybe a little more robust- sorta like Adobe Premier? [00:39] rreyes: ive not had to mess with routes in years. last i used routes. i recall using the route command :) old-skool [00:39] thanks, Dr_Willis [00:39] kent: yes - it pays to explore the settings. [00:39] has anyone configured routes on Jaunty? [00:39] maynards-girl: cinelerra or kino [00:40] I'd like the package "nautilus-python" [00:40] avidemux [00:40] How much would you guys pay for a computer that has a 935MHz processor and 191MB ram and runs on Xubuntu 9.04 and it has a CD drive and Floppy drive [00:40] it's up here, but is it available by default? https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus-python [00:40] the network manager that came with ubuntu 8.04 doesn't seem to work for me, and neither does wifi radar. so I'd like to use something that is more familiar to me, and seems to be light-years beyond as far as useability-- wicd [00:40] movela, i'll try cinelerra. Tried kino but couldn't get it to import a jpg :/ thank you. let me investigate that one [00:40] kent, not much at all!

[00:41] so i downloaded the file from packages.ubuntu, and transferred it to the computer that is currently w/o a network, and clicked it (man this reminds me of windows) and it won't install because it conflicts with "network manager" [00:41] i want to replace network manager [00:41] that's the point [00:42] convergence: trying to install 'wicd' ?

I tried xrandr but it says "Failed to change the screen configuration!" so.. I need help. [00:43] convergence: you could use the packagemanager to remove network manager first I guess.. [00:43] I am gona try to sell my computer tomorrow but i don't know how much to sell it for. Give me an estimit on how much you would pay for a computer that has a 935MHz processor and 191MB Ram and runs on Xubuntu 9.04 and has a CD drive and a floppy drive [00:44] Dr_Willis: thanks, i'll try that [00:44] hey styol !

[00:46] i should probably save it [00:46] mdg yeah for sure, seems like it :) [00:46] im already playing with something else.. changing splash screens and such [00:46] well that's awesome! [00:47] mdg yeah thanks again for all your help, much appreciated [00:47] your welcome - I didn't do much....if anything [00:47] My Xorg CPU usage is 100% on one of my cores (50% in general).

[00:49] JoshuaP0x1: depends on the card somewhat.. Kde4+ is not as optmized as gnome.. so graphic wise can take up more GPU. [00:49] can you talk with mics on here?? [00:49] styol: do you have webcam and microphone? Do they work? [00:49] mdg IE: adobe air runs, i can apply all the same kiosk concepts i was applying before, and now im customizing the boot screens hehe [00:49] kent: this is 'irc' - not a voice chatting IM protocal. so no. :) [00:49] mdg i dont have either i dont believe.. i got the cheapest model they had intentionally [00:49] awwwww man [00:49] styol: wow! that's a good omen!

[00:50] p1und3r: check the levels are up correctly [00:50] i did they are all up [00:50] Dr_Willis: kde = kubuntu therefore probably worse performance being that i'm not so well off in Ubuntu? [00:50] styol: can you get them with no os? [00:50] If i got more RAM would Xubuntu 9.04 run smoother and faster and would youtube videos run smoother too? === Wolter is now known as SpacePigeon [00:51] Dr_Willis: you were right, it worked, kinda. I apparently need to download more dependencies, which is a whole other can of worms that i don't have time for today. [00:51] JoshuaP0x1: if ubuntu is sluggish.. kde will be worse. [00:51] or do i need a new graphics card? [00:51] intx: If you encounter any problems, send a short /msg to get my attention. I'm busy otherwise. [00:51] very frustrated [00:51] convergence: I would run some wires for a quick fix.. update/upgrade and trh again. :) [00:51] speaking of youtube... [00:51] so how do i get firefox to use JACK? :x [00:51] Dr_Willis: thanks. I guess i'll wait until I have a better box to install on. [00:51] kent: more ram is always good...

[00:52] Dr_Willis: It runs well, just not as smooth as I'd like. [00:52] kent: is youtube just a little slugish? [00:52] styol: yes, I've heard of that :) [00:53] kent: my YouTube is. [00:53] artc: yes it is and the videos are laggy [00:53] mdg excellente! i may need some help with it at some point lol [00:53] styol: sounds like things are really getting rolling.

[00:57] ok, call me ocd, going to do it [00:57] How would I use this theme after I download it? http://gnome-look.org/content/download.php?content=70717&id=1&tan=42932972 [00:57] Dr_Willis: Thanks again for the link for installing Doom 3, but it still gives me non functional start scripts after the install [00:58] intx: ah, don't forget to unmount dev, proc and sys before repacking the squashfs! [00:58] Neroon: no idea on that. never done it. check the forums perhaps.. [00:58] Shoe: download, go to system -> preferences -> appearance [00:58] click install and choose it [00:59] Dr_Willis: K, thanks anyway [00:59] intx: Also a "apt-get clean" before logging out from the chroot, deleting the .bash_history and cleaning up /var/log could/should be done. [00:59] thanks! === tritium_ is now known as tritium [01:01] hi all. there's probably an obvious solution to this, but I still couldn't figure it out. I have a dell latitude 510 and I've just upgraded from hardy to intrepid. sound and wireless stopped working. any ideas of what happened? [01:01] artc, where do I go in the appearance preferences window? [01:01] If my motherboard was made for an Intel pentium 3 CPU (which is bigger than the Intel pentium 4 CPU) But can i still put an Intel Pentium 4 CPU into my motherboard? [01:01] theme [01:01] nevermind [01:01] or wouldn't it fit? [01:01] you can customize it afterwards as well [01:01] I looked at every button EXCEPT the install one [01:02] lol [01:03] regiov: I'm new to Ubuntu myself, so i may not be of much help, but run ifconfig for us, and list the interfaces you see [01:03] does anyone know how to check the subsystem of your sound card? [01:03] kent it would not work or fit [01:05] . [01:05] Sneaky-Jesus: here it goes: http://paste.ubuntu.com/248305/ [01:06] Hi all. How do I go about safely uninstalling and reinstalling dbus? :-) [01:06] I keeping getting a DBus error trying to start KMail, even after a full purge and reinstall of KMail, so my next suspect is DBus. [01:06] regiov: It's not listed, that's a real pain. Do you know to hand, what brand your WLAN card is? [01:06] hi, is FOXCONN motherboards, good motherboards??? [01:07] djzn: never heard of them. Check MB/hardware review sites.. stick with good brands. :) [01:07] Hey, aren't FOXCONN the company responsible for the guy who killed himself over the iphone prototype [01:07] ? [01:07] lol [01:07] Asus are the best. [01:08] I have a question: Do ANY external HDD's work with ubuntu? [01:08] One of the points in building your own pc - is the ability to pick the better value hardware. :) not just the cheapest.. :) [01:08] pilif: the 8+ i have.. work fine. [01:08] Cool. [01:08] pilif: USB ones work okay, as a general rule. [01:08] pilif: usb, firewire, flash, work fine [01:08] Im looking at this one: WOuld it work? http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?invtid=RF-USBFLB80-R&cat=HDD [01:09] My Xorg CPU usage is 50% (100% on one core). Any suggestions? [01:09] Unfortunately I have to be the first to let you know that in this case your ideas on upgrading your systems by simply changing the processors just won't work. [01:09] First of all a Pentium 4 (or Centrino, which is the mobile version) literally will not fit into any of the systems you mention. All CPUs are made in specific form factors to fit into different sockets. Most Pentium 4 processors were made for Socket 478 or 478B sockets, which mean they have 478 pins on a chip roughly an inch and a quarter square. The high number of pins allow more signals and data to be passed simultaneously to the motherboard, one way the sp [01:09] eed of the CPU operations were increased. Pentium III and older Celerons were mainly socket 370 chips on a chip almost an inch and three quarters square. The lesser number of pins were aligned in six concentric rows with a blank central square. Pentium II and even older Celerons used Socket 7 and any of a half dozen other schemes and were often put on daughtercards to make them somewhat interchangeable. It would be like trying to put a square peg in a round [01:09] kent: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:09] hole. [01:09] pilif: ive neer had a external usb hard drive not work. [01:09] pilif: You should be alright, mate. [01:09] hello, i am having issues with my xstartup file where it isn't found :( [01:10] Sneaky-Jesus: in theory, there should be no hardware support problem. see: http://www.linlap.com/wiki/dell+latitude+d510 [01:10] pilif: external serial ata are becomming ore and more common aso. all the external drives i get now a days. i try to get with USB and esata if i can [01:10] I got ubuntu 8.04 lts but vnc shows only a terminal window, i tried editing the xstartup file so it show me the entire desktop but the log shows it isn't found, please help [01:10] www.redtube.com [01:10] regiov: Peculiar. It was working okay before you upgraded, right? [01:10] Okay, cool. [01:11] Sneaky-Jesus: right. and in the case of audio, I simply don't see the corresponding module available. [01:11] nifty: you did close the vnvserver that was running and restarted it? It reads the xstartup file when it first launches.. and you CAN have more then 1 vncserver going.. [01:11] ..? Anyone? [01:11] nifty: vncserver -kill :1 (to kill the first vncserver) [01:11] :( [01:11] yeah i killed all processes and restarted them ;( [01:11] but nothing [01:12] regiov: Now that IS peculiar, first instinct is it's not a driver issue, but can't be sure. [01:12] nifty: what is your xstartup file? you may need a & somewher to get it to run the other commands. [01:12] Was it a good idea to whipe my hard drive and just run of from Xubuntu [01:12] dr_willis: well i give you the pastebin link to my xstartup file one sec [01:12] Does anyone have experience with Xorg? [01:12] because my old OS was still [01:12] regiov: Sorry i can't be of more help. [01:12] Windows ME' [01:12] lol [01:12] nifty: i tend to use 'icewm' with vnc also. gnome is a bit too sluggush in ways [01:12] thats how old my computer is [01:13] dr_willis: http://pastebin.com/m3a6a8fa9 [01:13] MindVirus: you could check the forums for your exact video card there may be some bugs with the drivers you are using [01:13] Dr_Willis: I checked every forum ever in the universe. [01:13] Sneaky-Jesus: thanks anyway. I guess it must be something silly, like a missing package, but couldn't find out yet. [01:14] regiov: Good luck, i've had WiFi trouble in the past - you sound like you know your onions, so i'm sure you'll get there mate :) [01:14] nifty: dont use a & after the x-window-manager &, i set mine to be the exact window manager i want.. and i DONT use a /etc/X11/xsession at the end either. [01:14] nifty: mine --> http://pastebin.com/f7ab0f736 [01:14] dr_willis: but you dont use gnome right? [01:15] nifty: if you want gnome use 'gnome-session' instead of 'icewm' in my example [01:15] I have a computer with a corrupt mbr. I tried running gpart but I was unable to mount the partition it found. Any suggestions? [01:15] Sneaky-Jesus: do you know how to troubleshoot wifi issues? in this case, the module seems to be available, I can load it, but I don't see the wifi network listed anywhere [01:15] nifty: it pays to take tight controll of exactly what runs with vnc :) [01:15] nifty: and ive had issues in the past with running vncserver running gnome - on the same desktop i am running gnome locally... so watch out for that. [01:16] dr_willis: ok i will look into this [01:16] regiov: what nic do you have? [01:16] I've had some experience getting my own wifi to work. [01:17] regiov: My first move would be to try ls-pci, and see if it's at least listed. If so, then it's pretty much certainly a software, it sounds as though it is anyway, but being sure is vital. I'd look to see if Intel has any information on it, and if you've not done so already checkout Ubuntu's forums, chances are somebody's already encountered and tackled it. [01:17] meditatingfrog: nic (?) [01:17] Any suggestions? [01:17] regiov: network interface card [01:17] Hi all. How do I go about safely uninstalling and reinstalling dbus? :-) I keeping getting a DBus error trying to start KMail, even after a full purge and reinstall of KMail, so my next suspect is DBus. [01:17] *lspci, no dash [01:18] regiov: right, what Sneaky-Jesus said, lspci [01:18] I'm having a problem with iptables on the latest ubuntu. I made a firewall out of it and it is giving me a syntax error on a line that works fine under other distros. When the following line is run, iptabes gives a syntax error on the network specification of 192.168.1.0/24 [01:18] regiov: find out what nic you have with lspci [01:18] $ipt -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o $LAN -s 192.168.1.0/24 -j SNAT --to 192.168.1.1 [01:18] It's how I configure NAT loopback [01:18] Crell: try running as a different user and see if the issue affects them also? [01:18] hm [01:19] anyone here approves Foxconn mobos? [01:19] Sneaky-Jesus: meditatingfrog: http://paste.ubuntu.com/248310/ [01:19] I will need another user first... :-) [01:19] regiov: you can also type lspci | grep Wireless... [01:19] dr_willis: well right now it shows me a terminal window but i want to see the whole desktop as if i am literally on that computer. how do i get that done? [01:20] regiov: while I look at that, what do you think your wifi adapter (aka nic) is? [01:20] nifty: in the terminal try running 'gnome-terminal' command. :) [01:20] Dr_Willis: Gotta log out for that, bbiab. [01:20] if I've got a shell script with an in/out point how could I make a drag/drop application out of it? [01:20] i want /etc/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules to quit renaming my ethernet cards, if i leave it alone it names my ethernet cards to eth0 and eth1_rename, but if i keep 70-persistent-net.rules blank, it names them correctly to eth0 and eth1 [01:20] nifty: vncserver does not 'show' the currently running desktop.. gnomes vnc service does ... you need to fiure out what exactly its running and tellit to rin what you need. [01:21] Dr_willlis: im a noob to linux, how do i do that? in 9.04 it did what i needed to do but vnc screwed up my keyboard [01:22] meditatingfrog: isn't that information in the last line of lspci? (Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 2200BG [Calexico2] Network Connection (rev 05)) [01:22] nifty: you may want to read up on vnc.. the vncserver command runs whats in xstartup. If you are just getting a 'terminal' window and no window decorations. You are not running a window manager - i sugeest installing/trying icewm to test it out. [01:22] regiov: :) [01:22] nifty: you can type/run a window manager from that terminal window. [01:22] nifty: try running 'metacity' or 'gnome-session' or 'icewm' [01:22] regiov: are you using Jaunty (9.04)? [01:22] regiov: Sounds as though that's what we're looking for, the hardware's recognised, which is good. We just need to get you some updated drivers, i think. Can you remember what the drivers for your wireless are called? [01:23] dr_willis: so i just type in gnome-session in the terminal window? === _Floops is now known as Floops [01:23] nifty: yes.. thats what ive said. :) [01:23] regiov: We'll try to sort out sound after, WiFi's more important i'm sure :) [01:23] Please, can anyone help me understand why iptables on ubutu doesn;t ike that line? It's breaking all my access to my internal servers. [01:23] dr_willis: sorry im very new to linux [01:23] regiov: I did a search for 2200BG on ubuntuforums.org and found others who have had the same problem [01:23] nifty: you are 'litarly on that computer' even with just the terminal. :) [01:23] Sneaky-Jesus: meditatingfrog: I really appreciate your help [01:24] meditatingfrog: can you give me the link(s)? [01:24] regiov: I can still try to help you more, but it would probably be more efficient to look on there [01:24] regiov: Glad to be of service, i hope you get things sorted straight away :) [01:24] dr_willis: it tells me that i am already running a session :/ [01:24] Medititatingfrog: Good find :) [01:24] *Meditating [01:24] I can spell [01:24] honest :p [01:25] nifty: this is why i am suggesting trying./testing with icewm. does the terminalwindow have 'borders' ? can you drag/move it around? [01:25] Sneaky-Jesus: is it okay to paste links in the channel? [01:25] ^ As far as I know, second time here just to help :) [01:25] nifty: 'sudo apt-get install icewm' to get icewm. and the command to launch it is 'icewm' :) [01:25] hello was wondering if there is a good guide for using xen 3.4.0 on ubuntu 9.04 i386? [01:26] dr_willis: ok what is icewm exactly? [01:26] nifty: a window manager. [01:26] meditatingfrog: according to this site (http://www.linlap.com/wiki/dell+latitude+d510) I need the module ipw2200, which I have here, but I still don't see the wireless network listed when I try to create a new connection. [01:26] dr_willis: is it possible to just use gnome? [01:27] wanted to use ubuntu as dom0 and install some guests as domU... [01:27] nifty: You are running vnc on the same machine as you are currently logged into? [01:27] nifty: or is this some 2nd remote box? [01:27] dr_willis: this is the same computer that i am on now [01:27] Hey there - noob question... How do I switch to a different kernel (apart from waiting for an upgrade...) [01:27] dr_willis: i am trying to access the vnc from a windows computer on the same network [01:27] regiov: read the ubuntuforums.org link, and I'll look at the link you sent [01:27] nifty: err.. backup.. You have a windows box.. You want to connect TO the vncserver on the linux machine? [01:28] Sneaky-Jesus: what wifi adapter do you have? [01:28] dr_willis: yes [01:28] nifty: so what did ' nifty | dr_willis: this is the same computer that i am on now [01:28] mean? [01:28] medititatingfrog: Well, Hardy said it was an Atheros 5007EG, and it didn't support it. Jaunty's telling me it's an AR242x, and it works. So who knows? :P [01:28] dr_willis: i am on the linux computer when i am typing this [01:28] nifty: if you have gnome running on the linux box. (as the local desktop you can see) then you can have issues running it a 2nd time in vnc. [01:29] regiov: do you have a latitude d510? [01:29] nifty: which is why i am saying 'test with icewm' not gnome.. then try to get it workign with gnome.. [01:29] dr_willis: ok i will try [01:30] nifty: You do realize that gnome (the desktop you are on NOW) can share its currently seen desktop - via vnc and you dont need to mess with xstartup. and that stuff? [01:30] meditatingfrog: did the same search. now looking at the first result... [01:30] nifty: system -> preferances -> remote desktop [01:30] meditatingfrog: yes, dell latitude 510 [01:31] dr_willis: honestly i just want to access the current screen on my linux computer from any of my windows computers' [01:31] nifty: vnc is a very flexiable tool and has 100+ ways to do things. :) dependign on your needs. [01:31] nifty: then youa re going about that the wrong way. [01:31] nifty: see --------> system -> preferances -> remote desktop [01:31] dr_willis: how do i do it the right way? with gnoem :p [01:31] ok [01:31] if I've got a shell script that converts video, it has 1 input/output how can I make it so I can drag the video onto it? so it automatically converts on drop of file? [01:31] Sneaky-Jesus: lspci says I have an AR242x [01:32] nifty: with vncserver you could have a dozen+ 'hidden' desktops/sessions going :) for a dozen+ differnt users.. thats one of its big features. [01:32] nifty: the gnome-shared desktop is a bit more limited. [01:32] dr_willis: in what ways? [01:32] medititatingfrog: Same :) What machine are you on? [01:32] nifty: you got ONE shared 'seen by anyone sitting at the machine' sevrver.. is a big limitation [01:33] anyone have a guide for xen 3.4.0 on ubuntu with ubuntu as dom0? [01:33] mdg: I still can't figure out where stuff is minimized [01:33] dr_willis: so if i am typing now here and someone logs into the shared session they would see what i am typing right? [01:33] nifty: you could have kde in one vncserver session, and icewm in a different one, and jwm in a 3rd.. using the proper vncserver setup. :) [01:33] nifty: yes. they see the 'currently logged in/visiable' desktop [01:33] dr_willis: i don't need that though [01:33] Dr_Willis: Fascinating. Running KMail on a fresh user account, I got the same DBus error the first time (running from a terminal) but the program *did* start. That account also has none of the color/redraw issues that I've been having, too. [01:33] dr_willis: perfect! but how do i send this command out?\ [01:34] dr_willis: putty? [01:34] But wouldn't a full purge/reinstall of KMail have reset whatever was an issue with this particular account? [01:34] nifty: what command? You can set the gnome vnc feature (called vino) to auto start when you login. [01:34] Crell: purge/reinstall removes/reinstlls the SYSTEM CONFIGS.. not the users configs. [01:34] Hm. [01:34] dr_willis: i am looking at the shared desktop and it says connect by sending this command, send command by email or something [01:34] Crell: running as a new user. is a way to test if its a user config issue or not. [01:34] So I need to purge my user's KMail configs manually. [01:35] nifty: yes.. you basically tell the vncclient the proper ip/port to connect to. [01:35] dr_willis: how do I know which port? [01:35] nifty: it says in the dialog dident it? [01:35] dr_willis: or how do I set the proper port? [01:35] dr_willis: no [01:35] While I'm at it, as I mentioned I've had a lot of coloring issues. Black text on black background sorts of things. What configs should I purge to try and fix that? :-) [01:35] nifty: what did it say then? [01:36] Is there a way to run ubuntu off a usb drive and have it save changes to a HDD? [01:36] dr_willis: hold on ill screenshot it for you [01:36] nifty: it will be somthing like 192.168.1.1:1 i recall [01:37] nifty: the :1 is the 'session #' thats based on the port # its using automatically [01:37] dr_willis: http://i31.tinypic.com/bgv810.png [01:37] nifty: it says the port right there.. -----> :0 [01:37] regiov: hardware switch? [01:38] nifty: ip#:port# [01:38] :0 is the 'currently seen/local desktop' [01:38] meditatingfrog: Sneaky-Jesus: iwconfig returns this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/248316/ [01:38] dr_willis: ok i just tried but it won't connect [01:38] nifty: use the machines ip# not that name it gave. [01:38] 192.168.1.100:0 in teh vncclient. [01:39] dr_willis: i know i just used my internal one: 192.168.1.2:0 but nothing [01:39] what vncclient are you using? [01:39] tightvnc viewer [01:40] nifty: try it from the windows box's vnc client perhaps. [01:40] regiov: is there a hardware switch for your wireless? [01:40] regiov: an on/off switch? [01:40] for some reason when ever i try to run nautilus as superuser i get a seg fault? this is a new problem. http://pastebin.com/d173f898a [01:40] meditatingfrog: no [01:40] dr_willis: that is what i was trying :/ [01:40] nifty: its possible the windows firewall is blocking stuff.. [01:40] on the linyx box you could try 'vncviewer localhost:0' [01:41] dr_willis; no firewall is active [01:41] meditatingfrog: and it works on windows (dual boot) and there is a wifi network here, but it doesn't show up when I try to create a new connection [01:41] how can i use the cp command to copy ONLY the .hidden config files from my home folder? [01:41] did you try dmesg | grep ipw2200? [01:42] regiov: weird. it doesn't seem to detect the card at all [01:42] regiov: you can check to make sure ipw2200 isn't blacklisted [01:42] regiov: /etc/modprobe.d [01:43] regiov: then use nano blacklist to see if ipw2200 is listed anywhere [01:43] meditatingfrog: http://paste.ubuntu.com/248318/ === Dark_Wolf is now known as Dark_Wolf[Gone] [01:43] did you dl and build the ipw2200 driver.. i don't think i comes with the kernel [01:43] dr_willis: any ideas? [01:43] regiov: what about ifconfig? [01:43] bucky, he had support in Hardy, lost it in Jaunty [01:43] which is mostly why we're confused [01:43] nifty: i enable the server and use 'vncviewer localhost:0' here and it connects.. does that work? [01:44] regiov: has it always not worked for you in Ubuntu? what release are you using? [01:44] meditatingfrog: there's nothing in the blacklist for that module [01:44] dr_willis: you actually inputted "vncviewer localhost:0" into your box on a windows computer? [01:45] dr_willis: or what exactly? [01:45] meditatingfrog: it was working perfectly before I upgraded from hardy to intrepid [01:45] nifty: no... i tested it on the LINUX box... [01:45] Will it cause problems to nfs mount /folder and /folder/2folder? [01:45] nifty: i see my desktop in a window on the desktop.. showing the desktop. in a desktop.. in a window.. :) its a neat effect. [01:46] mm [01:46] nifty: localhost would not work on the windoes box anyway. :) localhost = 127.0.0.1 [01:46] dr_willis: i think i need to run the remote desktop somehow :/ [01:46] nifty: i tend to use the ultravnc viewer on my wnaodw smachine.. [01:47] nifty: you dident enable it in the gnome menus i showed earlier perhaps? [01:47] dr_willis: i think i did [01:47] regiov: is there any chance you'd be able to give Ubuntu 9.04, Jaunty, a spin? LiveCD, see if WLAN works? [01:48] how do I change all files owned by one uid to another uid [01:48] nifty: if its running then 'vncviewer localhost:0' should work. the desktop will pop up a dialog to allow theonnection. because you have tht checked === alan_ is now known as change [01:52] how can I make a shell script that accepts drag/drop events? [01:53] whoa [01:53] dr_willis; my windows computer won't connect at all it sucks [01:53] nifty: if you are going to try 9.04 - then you dont need to use tightvncserver at all. :) [01:53] Sneaky-Jesus: It doesn't look like 8.04 supports it [01:53] nifty: but did the LOCALHOST test work? yes/no? [01:53] dr_willis: no it failed [01:53] nifty: then you dont have the service runnign it seems for some reason [01:53] dr_willis: i am trying to connect from a windows computer if i put localhost it wont work for sure [01:53] aaronorosen: Look for e2fsprogs, it contains ext2/ext3/ext4 file utilities [01:53] nifty: i said use the localhost test on the LINUX box.. of course that wont work on a windows machine. [01:53] Might be what you're after. I'm properly inexperienced with Linux, mind. I'm hear to learn as much as i am to help out :) [01:53] how can i use the cp command to copy ONLY the .hidden config files from my home folder? [01:53] nifty: if you cant connect 'locally' then the windows box isent ever going to work. === jforte is now known as Jena_ [01:53] dr_willis: it wont work says i need a vnc viewer installed [01:53] Sneaky-Jesus: It says i already have that installed :( [01:53] dr_willis: brb reading a tutorial on this right now [01:53] nifty: then for THAT you need tightvncviewer or similer. [01:54] !vncviewer [01:54] Sorry, I don't know anything about vncviewer [01:54] aaronorosen: Ah man, not sure then.

[02:42] RadSurfer2, type the name of the program [02:42] RadSurfer2: it should be DISPLAY=:0.0 [02:42] Ok. [02:42] DISPLAY=:0 usually works fine for me =/ [02:42] btw is dnsmasq making connection faster or not ? [02:42] ok guys, the closest city to where i could live (when i was installing) is in another time zone, can i change this to somewhere closer??

Why did Firefox3.5 not simply replace Firefox3? [02:43] RadSurfer2: sudo gnome-terminal - you can do it from Altr +F2 [02:43] Tyrath: it's a separate package [02:43] lstarnes: is there a reason for that? [02:43] mdg: graphical applicaitons use gksudo [02:43] Tyrath: there's firefox, which depends on firefox-3.0 and there's firefox-3.5 packages [02:43] but gksudo coul;dent run gedit.. so how can it go gnome-terminal then. :) [02:43] Tyrath: some users still want firefox 3.0, and firefox 3.0 is official supported, while 3.5 isn't [02:43] I'm trying to get the correct resolution via HDMI (nvidia GF9300) to my Samsung LCD TV. The nominal resolution is 1360x768, and this not in the Nvidia settings as a selection. I have tried various xorg.conf configurations settings and when I basically turn EDID off I can't get anything greater than 640x480. This is on Jaunty, what gives?

[02:44] WiseBox: just ask your actual question involving the iPAQ 38xx [02:44] RadSurfer2: its gksu not gksudo [02:44] since we changed what DISPLAY environment variable is, it is going to print 0.0 now [02:44] !sudo [02:44] sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) [02:44] thanks anyway [02:44] RadSurfer2: is it 0.0 or :0.0? [02:44] if i want to make a dual vista/ubuntu system, do i have to put the windows partition in front? [02:45] :0.0 [02:45] mdg, it's the same. gksu is a link to gksudo (or viceversa.. i don't remember) [02:45] Have anyone already used dnsmasq ?

[02:46] cresuso1: I don't see why it would make a connection faster [02:46] cresuso1: it depends on which method it is being compared to [02:46] does 2.6.28-14-server have built in xen 3.4.0 support?? [02:46] Dr_Willis: like? [02:46] crazy2be: like most all of them. [02:46] Dr_Willis: does KDE support it? [02:46] c4pt: xen domU , or xen guest? [02:46] lstarnes: It stores dns adresses in a file [02:46] crazy2be: I just did it fluxbox :) [02:46] crazy2be: the easiest way is to click on the windows' menu (or type Alt+Space) and choose Move to another workspace [02:46] crazy2be: theres always teh right click 'move to workspace 2' method. [02:46] lstarnes, xen dom0 [02:46] I should use su...maybe. faster and all other things are the same. except su-doo sounds kinda' cool [02:46] Dr_Willis: but that is annoying [02:47] WiseBox: please keep the conversation in the channel [02:47] more clicks [02:47] crazy2be: i have no issuse with compiz doing it...

It was to uncheck the box that enabled "Alert SOund" [03:29] dreamborn: hrm - something changed - they used to always show up [03:29] where to find source file for 2.6.28-3 RT kernel ? [03:29] the .04 are released in april and the .10 in october [03:29] kernel.org [03:30] the deb file... :) [03:30] maslen: kewl. I simply disabled all sys sounds [03:30] AnnonyMouse: That's a little too brute-forceish [03:31] maslen: find it distracting. enough noise w radio, tv, media player, voip, colleagues, etc, etc [03:31] MT-: it shows up under my computer in places tab [03:31] hi.. how do you correct the time on command line? [03:31] mohanohi: http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/linux-headers-2.6.28-3-rt [03:31] blognewb: lookup NTPd [03:31] !ntp [03:31] Information about using and setting your computer's clock on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuTime - See https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/serverguide/C/NTP.html for information on usage of the Network Time Protocol (NTP) [03:31] !ntpd [03:31] Sorry, I don't know anything about ntpd [03:32] CopyWriter: i have downloaded the headers... [03:32] need help when i do root@kad:/boot# mkinitramfs-kpkg -o /boot/initrd.img-2.6.30 give me error : /usr/sbin/mkinitramfs-kpkg: 80: 1: parameter not set [03:32] CopyWriter: the source deb file? [03:32] dreamborn: what happens when you try to burn a cd? [03:32] Does Ubuntu 9.04 automatically update the time from an Internet time source? [03:32] nosmelc: I think you need to install that [03:33] MT-: i get to add the iso and then it wants me to select a disk but the drop down menu is grayed out [03:33] nosmelc: yes you can set it to do that [03:33] nosmelc: right click the clock and click adjust date/time [03:33] AnnonyMouse if i have 3 drives in an LVM and i have backups in that LVM and one day my computer dies, how would i know which physical drive has the backups?? how do i even know they are all in the same drive [03:34] mohanohi: i'm new to this so i'm still trying to help http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/linux-image-2.6.28-3-rt is this it [03:34] dreamborn: just for the heck of it - can you try a reboot? I had that problem once and a reboot worked [03:34] CopyWriter: oh.. ok.. thank u.. :) [03:35] MT-: ok will do [03:35] was that it? [03:35] no.. [03:35] hi [03:35] Hilikus: you backed up your HD to the same HD... [03:35] lol [03:35] Hilikus: LVM is tricky; I have a hard time with it myself. much of it's done via CLI, but I've also come accross some liveBoot disk to aid recovery: gparted-live, RIPLinuX, systemresquecd, trinity-rescue-kit, ubuntu-rescue-remix [03:36] how do u use thr torrent thing?? [03:36] Hilikus: They most likely wouldn't be all on one drive. If part of your LVM fails, some data loss will occur. You should be backing up the data in your LVM to a separate physical (and logical) location. [03:36] !u > bill_ [03:36] bill_, please see my private message [03:36] gogeta: I have another question about eeebuntu? [03:36] Hilikus: I've now started mailing use of RAID1 (mirrored sets) to aid in VM data throughput & redundency [03:36] mdg: lol [03:36] !torrent > bill_ [03:36] mohanohi: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/2.6.28-3.4 that has to be it [03:37] tread so my backup partition should not be in LVM is what you're saying? [03:37] Hilikus: yup [03:37] Hilikus: and probably an entirely different disk [03:37] CopyWriter: oh yeah.. looking through :) [03:37] gogeta: sorry, but eeebuntu on acer aspire - should networking via ethernet cable work out of the box? [03:37] mmm thats what i was trying to solve, my backup hd is only 20GB and i need more space, which i have in my other drives [03:37] mdg: it should yea [03:38] Hilikus: you could try SpinRite - that can help recover things if it's a drive failing [03:38] mdg: heh i had to help your dell mini guy with a manul patch for wifi works now hehe [03:38] Hilikus: othersise - check out systemrescuecd or some of the others mentioned [03:38] Just before my computer turn off, the screen shows a line of text that reads 'Unable to iterate IDE devices - does not exist', or something like that [03:38] gogeta: Yes. he really appreciated it too! [03:39] what happens if i take a physical drive thats part of an LVM and connect it in a new linux box , what would it see? [03:40] gogeta: thanks again! o/ [03:40] Hilikus: if I'm understanding you correctly, then yes. If you're using an LVM without redundancy (e.g., no RAID0,5,6, etc.), then think of that entire logical volume (which may consist of multiple drives/partitions) as if it were one disk. If you're backing up files that live in that LVM volume, then the backups should live somewhere else. [03:40] Hilikus: you would see a mangled mess [03:40] !lvm | Hilikus [03:40] Hilikus: Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [03:40] MT-: I don't know if the reboot was what did it or me having to insert it multiple times but I'll give you the credit, thanks [03:41] Hilikus: (and even if there is redundancy, that shouldn't be relied upon as if it were a backup.. but I don't think that applies to you right now anyway) [03:41] dreamborn: lol, congrats [03:41] need help with getting higher resoultions from the nvidia drivers for ubuntu. [03:41] so its really not recommended to have more than one physical drive in a single LVM partition i guess right? [03:42] Hilikus: it's fine to do. you just need to research it first [03:42] Hilikus: There's no disadvantage to that. That's part of what LVM is for. But that has nothing to do with backing up your data. [03:43] Hilikus: what exactly happenbed [03:43] let's get to the issue [03:43] hello [03:44] !hi | sinister [03:44] sinister: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! === c is now known as charitwo [03:44] nothing has happened yet. i'm just trying to decide if i should install LVM on my server to be able to better control my partitions. right now i have a physical drive for backups that's only 20GB and it's almost full so i was thinking maybe having a LVM that uses that hd and part of another hd but i think now that backing up to LVM is not very reliable since if one of the two crashes you're screwed [03:45] you don't even know where your stuff is physically [03:45] Hilikus: for your use of lvm, think of it like raid0 [03:46] hi im from the phils, and i have a problemwe have a server on to that i want to see the image files on a client but it only gives a list or an icon, is there a way that could see the files without downloading it? [03:46] you combine two partitions into one [03:46] whichone is raid0 again? redundant data in both drives? === Nightw0lf is now known as Nightwolf [03:47] sinister: that didn't make sense [03:47] Hilikus: no, RAID0 is just striped [03:47] !raid | Hilikus [03:47] Hilikus: Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [03:47] I meant RAID1 when I said 0 earlier :p [03:47] what dou mean? [03:47] Hilikus: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAID http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LVM [03:48] What does it mean: "Error while loading shared libraries: libplayerdrivers.so.3.0: cannot open share object file: NO such file or directory" [03:48] sinister: what you asked didn't make sense [03:48] eh, jaunty randomly logs out and in? [03:48] it did this on the LiveCD and for the first time just now on a full install [03:48] maslen: it means exactly what it says [03:48] MT- got it. so why am i not right saying that you should just not backup to LVM. that (thinking of it as raid0) only confirms it [03:49] maslen, either means you made a typo or that file doesn not exist [03:49] DaZ: That's very nice, I could also translate it, my question is how can I fix it [03:49] Hilikus: so yes, you're increasing the risk of failure by spreading it over multiple drives.. but since it's a backup, you'll only face data loss if your backup fails at the same time as your original copy. [03:49] sorry for asking bcoz i am only new in linux === kelvin is now known as Guest80637 [03:49] NO HOY QUIEN HABLE ESPAÑOL [03:49] maslen: install package containing it ;f [03:49] Hilikus: so the biggest rule to go by here is: Don't share any physical disk between your backup and your original. [03:49] !caps > Guest80637 [03:49] Guest80637, please see my private message [03:49] Guest80637: go home [03:50] tread thats exactly it [03:50] !sp > Guest80637 [03:50] Sorry, I don't know anything about sp [03:50] !es > Guest80637 [03:50] !es|guest80637 [03:50] guest80637: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés.

[03:50] COMO [03:50] oldude67: oops :P [03:50] lol [03:51] nick hyperionx11 === hyperion_ is now known as hyperionx11 [03:52] so if i have plenty of ram is raid0 going to really improve anything? [03:52] anyone? autio/sound, ALSA, shortcuts/keybindings = n/a [03:52] HOLA [03:52] Guest80637, hola [03:52] !es [03:52] En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [03:53] TRAKCYIA DE DONDE ERES [03:53] Guest80637 aqui nadie habla espanhol, y quita las mayusculas [03:53] Hilikus: RAID0 is for improving Hard Drive speed. It's mostly independent of RAM [03:54] maslen but isn't the problem with slow IO mostly virtual memory? [03:54] no [03:54] virtual memory is a problem from not having enough RAM, no matter how much RAM you have [03:54] Hilikus, do you mean swap memory? [03:54] hi ya meditatingfrog ! [03:54] entonces nadie habla español [03:55] oldude67yes, swap memory [03:55] hello mint [03:55] slow IO could be from lots of HD access, or reading/writing lots at a time === mint is now known as mint-mdg [03:55] RAID0 is meant for peak performance [03:55] Guest6396 seguro habra otros, pero en este canal no se puede [03:55] hi deexannihilate ! [03:55] my pen drive always mounts as read-only file system! this is my dmesg output! http://tinypaste.com/ea91c [03:55] hey guys, it seems that mhy /etc/init.d/tomcat6 did not start uatomcially when my system started [03:56] how can I check what went wrong? [03:56] a faster HD could speed up programs opening up, and basically all file operations [03:56] mint-mdg: hi [03:56] deexannihilate: how did the ethernet thing work? [03:56] codeshah: either dmesg or /var/log/.... [03:56] hey need help i'm using amsn, when i try to use my webcam give me webcam not connected as an error ? why ? thx [03:56] even if i put umask=000 while mounting! [03:56] mint-mdg: no response [03:56] deexannihilate: bummer! [03:56] mint-mdg: I plug in an ethernet cable and I access internet overit... [03:56] maslen really? i thought the only noticeable thing would be virtual memory [03:57] aksci: all the FAT errors indicate that the filesystem is going readonly to prevent any damage from being done to an apparently corrupt filesystem [03:57] MT-: you have an acer aspire running eeebuntu too? [03:57] nope [03:57] just explaining how ethernet works [03:57] Hilikus: It all depends on how heavy you use your hard drive. An extrememly slow hard drive (or a networked one) could make it take 30 seconds to open firefox. A fast, local one could make it take 2 [03:57] mint-mdg: i know! [03:57] aksci: you might think about, with the stuick unmounted, doing: sudo fsck /dev/sdd1 [03:57] maslen got it [03:57] mint-mdg: i'm going to call it a lost cause! i don't need it that bad! [03:58] maslen: using hibernate and not closing reopening programs is what I do [03:58] maslen: except firefox is slow no matter what... :( [03:58] deexannihilate: maybe that's something that works when eeebuntu gets all its updates [03:58] MT-: Well, you can't get everything you like, and it is useful [03:58] MT-: how is firefox slow? [03:58] mint-mdg: perhaps [03:58] it's bloaty [03:58] mint-mdg: how do we go forth with installing it permanently? [03:58] Ghoti: use first FAT? what about the options? truncate first or second? [03:59] maslen: I've only noticed slowness with flash video [03:59] deexannihilate: or it could break it like regular UNR [03:59] deexannihilate: is there an install icon on your desktop? [03:59] aksci: I've never had to fsck a FAT filesystem (from Linux) before, so I'm not entirely certain [03:59] maslen, I had that issue yesterday [03:59] it was DNS [03:59] meditatingfrog: You were never forced to use Unix computer that didn't have local hard drives, and everything was done remotely. It would take literally 5 seconds to open gedit .... not the processing part. The part of getting the executable over the network [04:00] cat /etc/named check your DNS servers [04:00] meditatingfrog: compare w/ alternatives. firefox is very slow - but it's almost the most functional :P [04:00] macgyver_: you mean /etc/resolv.conf, right? [04:00] mint-mdg: yes but how do i exit nbr desktop! i can't get to it [04:00] deexannihilate: I think that needs to be added after you install [04:00] MT-: chrome is zippier, but not worth switching to...yet [04:00] mint-mdg: i know but it is open [04:00] Ghoti, yes I do :) [04:00] doh [04:00] excuse me, is there a reason why i cant create a new document on my ubuntu desktop? [04:00] maslen: how slow was the network? [04:00] mint-mdg: and i can't get to the desktop! :( [04:01] deexannihilate: open?? [04:01] sorry, my old skool coming out [04:01] hey need help i'm using amsn, when i try to use my webcam give me webcam not connected as an error ? why ? thx [04:01] macgyver_: no worries :) [04:01] mint-mdg: sudo netbook-launcher, displays it [04:01] deexannihilate: you mean you need to close synaptic? [04:01] Gh [04:01] mint-mdg: ya, very fast - chromium too - I'm excited for it to be usable on that level [04:01] meditatingfrog: ** [04:01] Ghoti: no good! :( the filesystem still shouts read only! [04:02] deexannihilate: go to a terminal and type: pidof netbook-launcher [04:02] MT-: ? [04:02] deexannihilate: it will tell you a 4 digit number or so [04:02] meditatingfrog: I'm not sure if it was a 100Mb or 1000Mb network, but we had 50 computers on it at once, and they had plenty of internet traffic, besides requesting things on the network [04:02] aksci: hmm. This the only thumb drive you're having trouble with? [04:02] meditatingfrog: We used to use the old mozilla browser instead [04:02] or is the command killall netbook-launcher [04:02] meditatingfrog: i sent to the wrong nick, read what I said above that [04:03] MT-: your not the only one who does that - Im guilty too :) [04:03] hey there. does any here knows about clamav? I used clamavscan and after 561 minutes I found 3 infected files, but didnt piped the output, so I dont know what the files are. if anyone has any tips on how to find those files without a full re-scan ... [04:03] hi i got a problem.. cant see anything on add or remove window on my ubuntu... any clue? [04:03] Ghoti: this is the second one! i even formatted the first one i tried! [04:03] anyone got link where i can find my webcam driver? [04:03] kad_, that all depends on what colour it is [04:04] dfelinto: Clam AV is a weak AV, if it caught 3, odds are you have a bunch more [04:04] aksci: did you try perhaps a different USB port or hub? [04:04] mint-mdg: it's worse when I say soemthing to my gf but say it in the wrong channel :P [04:04] Ghoti: can the problem be in my system's config? i dont think anything went wrong in these pendrives! === chal`away is now known as chalcedny [04:04] macgyver_, when i do lsusb : Bus 003 Device 003: ID 0c45:6007 Microdia VideoCAM Eye [04:04] MT-: lol ooops!!! [04:04] Ghoti: yeah, tried all of them! [04:04] maslen: 12MB/s shared across 50 terminals does sound like it would be slow [04:04] I am having trouble with flash videos through firefox, when I play them full screne they get slow and jittery. What should I do? [04:04] maslen: I wonder how citrix does it [04:05] KittyBoots, do you have compiz enabled? [04:05] deexannihilate: sudo killall netbook-launcher [04:05] yes [04:05] KittyBoots, turn it off and see if the problem persists [04:05] how to install alfresco? [04:05] msimard: hm, do you suggest another antivirus? I also heard that clamav does a lot of false alarm too, so I may have no bugs (what I doubt) [04:05] meditatingfrog: Cirtix thin clients do it by having everything run on the server, and using RDP (cf. VNC) to present the desktop to you. [04:05] hello [04:05] kad_, lots of entries for this one http://www.google.com.au/search?hl=en&q=ubuntu+Microdia&btnG=Google+Search&meta=&aq=f&oq= [04:06] macgyver_, okie thx :) [04:06] i have an hp inkjet printer with a usb connection [04:06] jeremy_: what model HP? [04:06] any known document management system on linux? [04:06] but the printer add on option doesnt have usb [04:06] Ghoti: that does sound right [04:06] mint-mdg: it is installing now be back when finished [04:06] officejet j4540 [04:06] Ghoti: it's been awhile since I touched one [04:07] my new installation of ubuntu 8.10 says my new monitor (emacines E19T6W) is "unknonwn" how can i fix that and make the resolution better? [04:07] KittyBoots, are you going to try that?, when you do tell me if it persists [04:07] deexannihilate: okay. I may have to leave soon.... [04:07] meditatingfrog: Iused them all the time at one of my former workplaces. Hated 'em, to be honest. [04:07] jeremy_: explain what you mean by "printer add-on option" [04:08] Ghoti: I didn't hate them when I was deploying them, but I never really used one on a regular basis, even though I probably could have [04:08] print configuration> new printer [04:08] under administration [04:08] Ghoti: anything?? [04:08] meditatingfrog: Let's just say that the implementation was poor (one server trying to handle about 900-1200 concurrent logins. Performance was, shall we say, poor.) [04:09] i have a usb connect, i plugged it in and it didnt detect it [04:09] jeremy_: I think there is stuff in Synaptic to support HP printers. My HP Deskjeck 5150 connected via USB set itself up [04:09] so i went to administration to see if i could add it [04:09] jeremy_: Deskjeck/Deskjet [04:09] ok, i will reset computer [04:09] jeremy_: you have administrative rights? [04:09] Ghoti: I see. I've never set up a citrix or terminal services server [04:09] aksci: The only thing that keeps coming to mind is to make sure the stick(s) isn't/aren't the problem by trying them on another system, but it's unlikely you'll have two sticks go bad at the same time [04:10] !info hplip | jeremy [04:10] jeremy: hplip (source: hplip): HP Linux Printing and Imaging System (HPLIP). In component main, is optional. Version 3.9.2-3ubuntu4 (jaunty), package size 308 kB, installed size 1020 kB [04:10] meditatingfrog: Like many other infrastructures, I'm sure it's great when implemented and maintained properly; I just got a bad taste for Citrix in my mouth from $former_employer [04:10] jeremy_: my deskjet literally set itself up, and faster than you could ever get it setup in windows [04:10] Ghoti: I see [04:11] jeremy_: good luck with your printer :) [04:11] night all - thanks for all the great help o/ [04:11] So I know that you can view what programs are installed using Add/Remove Programs from the Applications menu, but does that really show all the programs that are installed? For example, Ubuntu is supposed to come with a C++ compiler (gcc, I think), right? But that doesn't seem to be on the list. Are there lots of programs that come with Ubuntu, but which don't show up on the Add/Remove Applications list? [04:11] hey i install new kernel but when i do apt-get update! still receive update from old kernel? what's wrong ? how i can make it check update of my current kernel ? [04:12] Ghoti: yeah! that's what! well, it can me my fault though! the copy speed was damn slow(200kps) so i cancelled it n tried to unmount! didn't work! so i just pulled it off! - same case with both of them! [04:12] kad_, did you do update-grub ? [04:12] kad_, you replace what's in your repositories but i'm not sure how [04:12] there you go :) [04:12] aksci: hmm, that could indeed corrupt the FAT tables quite nicely [04:12] oldude67, what do u mean? i change the menu.lst only to new kernel [04:13] kad_, so you have to do a sudo update-grub [04:13] hello I need some help can someone help please, would be appreciated [04:13] !ask | lexxy [04:13] lexxy: 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. :-) [04:14] oldude67, the new kernel i didn't name it like vmlinuz-2.6.28-11-generic i name it kad-2.6.30 ! does this make effect since when i do update-grub give me old one ! [04:14] ok, ubottu [04:14] don't be rude ubottu [04:14] how to umount an iso? [04:14] my jaunty distro seems like it is running very slow, what can I do to get better performance? [04:15] kad_, it dont matter what you name the kernel you still have to update grub. [04:15] oldude67, i did update-grub ! give me the old kernel not the new one ? why ? [04:15] I dunno if I made an mistake by setting ubunt Jaunty on ext4 [04:15] kad_, it has to point to that kernel image [04:15] Hello, I'm a frustrated user, because my audio is not working because of this abomination called pulse audio, is there a way to either remove it by not removeing everything else or making it not suck so bad? [04:16] hi guys I need some help [04:16] forget it i got it [04:16] oldude67, i add this to menu.lst the new kernel and when i do uname -r give me new kernel! but on update-grub don't? how i can fix it ? [04:16] Hallux: ad remove shows very few of the available packages. use synaptic instead [04:16] anyone here able to assist with sound/keybindings config pls [04:17] Ghoti: lol! yeah! but then i formatted them! [04:17] kad_, is that the name of the original kernel you downloaded, and if not does that name point to it in some way..if not you have to name it the same as what you downloaded. === undef is now known as Guest59023 [04:17] !ask | mattwj2002 [04:17] mattwj2002: 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. :-) [04:17] can I anyone help me find a good pci card that would have both internal serial ata connectors and external usb ports on it and would work well with ubuntu? [04:18] oldude67, download it as : linux-2.6.30 [04:18] has anyone here successfully enabled open gl using vmware, virtuabox or parallels? I tried those 3 today and kde 4.3 still looks ugly, compiz doesn't work and transparency can't be enabled! I have a macbook pro! [04:18] mattwj2002: any reason you can't just get one SATA card, and one USB card? [04:18] mattwj2002: newegg [04:18] yeah I only have two pci ports :( [04:18] ahhahaha i tared up my windows Mozilla directory, copied it to .mozilla, lowercased Extensions and Firefox, and it worked perfectly. [04:18] kad_, yes if thats the name of what it was when you downloaded it thats probably the name you will have to put in your grub menu.lst. [04:18] Ghoti: now just check what happened, i mounted the first screwed up thumbdrive, the file icon in computer:/// shows unknown type! n when i tried copying thru cli with root, it worked! [04:19] oldude67, okie i'll change to the original name [04:19] aksci: in a word, interesting. [04:19] kad_, then do update-grub again. [04:19] mattwj2002: get a motherboard combo on ebay.. upgrade [04:19] Ghoti: so what can you say? what should i do with my second thumbdrive? try formatting it? [04:19] you think it would be cheaper? [04:19] hello, i have ubuntu, and i installed kubuntu with apt-get install kubuntu-desktop, now how do i remove that? apt-get remove kunbuntu-desktop says that it will free 40k, which doesn't seem like enough [04:20] aksci: well, if there's nothing you want to keep on the drive, formatting it can't really do any harm [04:20] Synaptic: "The ABrowser refers to the unbranded build of firefox 3.0. Install the firefox package if you want a branded build." -- What does "branded" mean here? === saulus_ is now known as SauLus [04:20] is there an issue connecting to a Windows 7 share in Ubuntu? [04:20] oldude67, still the same :( [04:20] is it hard to take a processor off a motherboard? [04:20] places --> connect to server, will not accept creds [04:20] macgyver_: I'd imagine Windows 7 shares are SMB shares just the same as 2008, 2003, XP, 2000, NS, Me, 98, and 95 [04:21] macgyver_: wouldn't surprise me, what with all the sharing issues with vista. [04:21] kad_, then something dont seem right can you paste the outcome of update-grub ? [04:21] mattwj2002: what kind of processor? [04:21] AMD X4 [04:21] canthus13, fairly annoying [04:21] macgyver_: Where they moved the Windows-side settings to is a whole other discussion :p [04:21] the original version [04:21] mattwj2002: not hard [04:21] I keep having to use a USB stick to get shit [04:21] bp0: try this http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome [04:22] macgyver_: Heh. Vista has trouble sharing with XP, let alone any OTHER OS. It wouldn't surprise me if 7 had the same issues. [04:22] oldude67, i pastebin update-grub and menu.lst http://pastebin.com/m1531aa3 [04:22] so it would be possible to safely remove the processor and reuse it? [04:22] macgyver_: you could look into setting up an FTP server on the Windows box and using that to grab your files if SMB is somehow broken [04:22] mattwj2002: you got a phenom and you don't have usb and sata? [04:22] nope I have sata but not enough [04:23] macgyver_: And you don't have issues with the USB drive? Lucky you. [04:23] I had to disable usb because of a weird motherboard bug or something else funky going on [04:23] * canthus13 has been fighting with USB transfer issues in linux for months.

I'm running ubuntu 9.04 with a AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core 5000+ with ATI Radean HD 3200. my processor runs at 50% with nothing running. [04:26] brenden__: Good morning from Berlin, Germany!

[04:29] christopher: system -> adminstration -> Hardware drivers [04:29] ok thx [04:29] hey all, i'm trying to create a ssh reverse tunnel, can anyone help me out? [04:29] kad_, sorry its been a long day and im falling asleep...sorry [04:29] night all [04:29] gn === brenden__ is now known as BrendenX [04:30] i have a dead simple webapp running locally on port 4567 and i'd like to reverse tunnel the same port on a box i own back to my local machine [04:30] i'm running something like ssh -R 4567:localhost:4567 user@remote.machine [04:30] Ghoti: I have that, but my system still runs like molasis when I watch a video, and cpu usage when I'm doing nothing is high [04:30] when i curl http://localhost:4567 on the remote box, i get the response i expect [04:30] however when i hit http://remote.machine:4567 in a browser, i don't get a response [04:31] christopher: use 'top' to see what's using your CPU [04:31] ctmjr, thanks [04:31] Ghoti: how do i check which driver I'm using [04:31] so far I like Ubuntu a lot, very smooth... [04:31] hello [04:31] Ghoti, nah, its all good, I dont really need to interact with the Winbox [04:31] bp0: your welcome [04:31] it was just to get music from it === arif is now known as arifd86 [04:32] the least interaction between the 2 the better, less chance of Ubuntu being infected :) [04:32] ghoti: xorg is using 5% [04:32] drewolson: have you ensured your remote is setup correctly? [04:32] Hello all. Are *.src.rpm files easy to make and install under ubuntu? [04:33] eleite: what specifically needs to be setup correctly [04:33] just checking... I have a kernel i want to install [04:33] ghoti: xorg is now 10% [04:33] ghoti: what is xorg? [04:33] eleite: it seems strange that the curl to http://localhost:4567 works on the remote box but not hitting it from a browser [04:33] Synaptic: "The ABrowser refers to the unbranded build of firefox 3.0. Install the firefox package if you want a branded build." -- What does "branded" mean here? [04:33] christopher: xorg is what's presenting you with the graphical interface [04:33] here's a noob question: does anyone know where my Windows drives would normally be mounted? [04:33] /media/ [04:33] :) [04:34] Hello all. Are *.src.rpm files easy to make and install under ubuntu? [04:34] under one of those sub directories [04:34] :) [04:34] Ghoti: why then when I watch a vid, my CPU sky rockets? I figured it was the driver [04:34] drewolson: see the post What most people probably really want http://www.howtoforge.com/reverse-ssh-tunneling [04:34] !rpm | arifd86 [04:34] arifd86: 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) [04:34] bullgard4: firefox the name and the art are owned by mozilla. They are not FOSS. [04:34] christopher: what sort of videos? [04:35] Ghoti, thanks [04:35] arifd86: no problem :) === swoody_ is now known as swoody [04:35] christopher: also, what program are you watching the videos in? [04:35] ghoti: downloaded videos and youtube. I also tried VLC [04:35] better learn kernel compilng/patching the good old way then! [04:35] need help connecting to the internet... [04:36] orthodoc: if you're here, you're on the internet, friend :) [04:36] I'm running on a LiveCD. Is it possible to take the changes I've made so far and turn them back into an iso or liveCD of their own? [04:36] well, that sucked, I disconnected there. [04:36] Ghoti, interesting isn't it? But firefox does not connect to the net [04:36] Hello. I have a quadcore cpu and ubuntu 9.04, but it is only using one of my cpus. What do I do? [04:36] danbhfive: Having read you message, I still do not know what a branded build is. [04:36] Ghoti, I am using one of those plug in usb modems [04:36] christopher: I wish I could help more, but I have nvidia hardware, not ati.. Make sure you have third-party repos enabled, and check sys -> prefs -> hardware drivers perhaps? [04:37] orthodoc: what exactly your problem? [04:37] wizz: am not able to connect to the internet via firefox [04:37] orthodoc: so XChat is working, but Firefox is not? What errors does firefox give? [04:37] Ghoti: I downloaded the new driver from ATI, how do i run a *.run file [04:37] bucky: that's exactly what i'm doing, but apparently requests coming from the browser are not seen as local. i'm not sure what's going on [04:37] bullgard4: it has all the company branding from mozilla, ie, the firefox name is used, and the firefox icon. That is the company branding. Mozilla wants to build a ff brand, and market that brand. [04:37] Ghoti, it says page load error [04:38] Schizoid: when you start two different programs with high cpu demands, they are run on the same cpu? or is it just the GUI, which uses only one processor? [04:38] orthodoc: and after that? [04:38] Ghoti, says firefox is in offline mode [04:38] Is there a way to minimize pidgin to the task panel? [04:38] orthodoc: file -> (uncheck) offline mode, then try again [04:38] sol93: cat /proc/cpuinfo and 'top' etc only report one cpu/core [04:38] bullgard4: I think iceweasel is in the same spirit as ABrowser. There might be info about iceweasel on the net [04:38] Schizoid: that was no answer to my question [04:38] deexannihilate, Just close it. [04:38] deexannihilate: Tools > Preferences > Interface > Show system tray icon > Always [04:39] Schizoid: did you try to run several heavy apps and look then? [04:39] orthodoc: isit happen for all site, or some of them. [04:39] then close pidgin and it will stay in the trya [04:39] Ghoti, thanks that did the trick [04:39] sol93: look at what? [04:39] christopher: you probably want to run it from a terminal (applications -> accessories -> terminal) If it's on your desktop, then type 'cd Desktop', and then './filename.run' [04:39] zimbres: when ever I close it, it closes the chat too [04:39] hey, can someone tell me how can I make flash audio work? [04:39] drewolson: prolly you need to have port 22 forwarded from the router to your remote host on the other end [04:39] Ghoti, but thats not the problem actually [04:39] Schizoid: what cpus are used [04:39] sol93: everything is using cpu0 [04:39] orthodoc:it did the trick, but not? *confused* [04:39] Ghoti, when i try and connect to the net via a lan it works fine [04:39] bucky: ah, that's probably exactly the case, let me try [04:39] danbhfive: And what is "company branding"? You used that word. My native language is not English. [04:39] Schizoid: i wouldnt be surprised, if the GUI runs in only one cpu [04:40] sol93: do you have a multicore system? [04:40] but when i make the switch to the usb modem firefox goes into the offline mode by default [04:40] Hi I am trying to get my temporary items, stored in /tmp to be stored in ram rather than on a physical hdd. So i have created a 1GB ram disk in /media. Now, I want to remove /tmp and create a link to my ramdisk in /media. My question is: is it save to remove the whole /tmp folder and its contents as root and then recreate it linking to /media? [04:40] Ghoti, how do i change that? [04:40] Ghoti: Says command not found [04:40] Schizoid: not really, i have only 2 pipelines (P4) [04:40] deexannihilate, To close the chat I have to use the quit option. Closing it with the mice will leave only the green ball on the right corner of the screen [04:40] orthodoc: I'm not sure how to prevent firefox automatically going 'offline'; I've never had that problem, I'm afraid :( [04:41] sol93: ok, what I am saying is SMP is not on in my kernel, the entire system is only aware of one of my cores [04:41] christopher: did you actually type "./filename.run", or did you use the actual filename? :) You want to do the latter. [04:41] I would like to update to firefox 3.52 is that possible in ubuntu? [04:41] bullgard4: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brand [04:41] christopher: there is a pdf file on the website (ati) on how to install but in short ctrl+alt+f2 then sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop then run sh ./ "run file " [04:41] !ff35 | d1sdain1 [04:41] d1sdain1: 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 [04:41] zimbres: thanks! [04:41] Ghoti, next time arounf just disconnect your lan and try firing up firefox and it goes into an offline mode auto [04:41] anyone know when Firefox 3.5.2 might drop in the repositories? [04:41] Does ubuntu/linux have any fancy keyboard shortcuts for inserting special chars (like in windows where you could use alt+numpad)? [04:42] orthodoc: may you can reinstall your firefox? [04:42] Ghoti, anyways thanks a lot ... [04:42] savid: you mean like ö, or ß, and the like? [04:42] Schizoid: i see... if it's just not the kernel, you might either have to modprobe the appropriate module or recompile... do you want me to try googeling? [04:42] Ghoti, the solution was simple and it escaped my mind [04:42] Ghoti: the file name [04:42] christopher: should be sudo sh ./"file name" [04:42] sol93: no, that is ok. SMP isn't a module you can just start. [04:42] christopher: try sh ./filename.run as ctmjr mentioned [04:42] wizz, thanks for your help , i just had to uncheck offline to connect tot he net [04:43] Ghoti: it worked, thanks [04:43] bucky: no luck...isn't the whole point of the reverse tunnel that i don't need to expose ports on my local machine? [04:43] Ghoti and wizz , thanks guys for you help [04:43] Ghoti, yeah, pretty much any char that can be represented in unicode (given a number, eg, 0x0B for °) [04:43] hi guys [04:43] How loud should a 7200rpm drive be? [04:43] Ghoti, and wizz , i gotta make a move now ...bye [04:43] can anyone recommend a good usb pci card that is compatible with linux? [04:44] Just wondering if something exists b/c I might just make something myself :-P [04:44] Loud? If in performance mode? [04:44] Ghoti: well, after some formatting job, its working! but the transfer speed is pathetic! [04:44] savid: you want to assign a Compose key (I use CapsLock, many use the right Windows key). System -> preferences -> keyboard -> layouts -> layout options [04:44] does anyone know why the camera on acer doesn't work with eeebuntu? [04:44] drewolson: try a higher port with the -p 1999 option [04:44] !hardware | mattwj2002 [04:44] mattwj2002: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [04:44] Ghoti, oh cool, thanks :) [04:44] Ghoti, your nick could be pronounced like "fish" if you get the gh from enough the "o" from woman and ti from emotion:) [04:44] deexannihilate: because it's eeebunto and not acerbuntu? ;) [04:44] !eeebuntu [04:44] Sorry, I don't know anything about eeebuntu [04:44] zimbres: that's how I pronounce it ;) [04:45] Ghoti: lol [04:45] Ghoti: how do i restart xorg?

I can only see config files in the etc/proftpd folder... thanks! :) [04:45] christopher: log out and back in [04:45] ghoti: :( it's worked for others! [04:46] Sp0d: sudo /etc/init.d/proftpd start [04:46] danbhfive: Thank you for providing me that link to a Wikipedia article. I understand that 'brand' is a rather broad concept, almost philosophical. But this article does not mention "company branding". What is "company branding"? [04:46] deexannihilate: was a joke, sorry :) [04:46] I gots a network/Thunderbird question lol if anyone has time. [04:46] sol93: thanks. that guys problem is that his program is only using one core, not that his system can only see one core. [04:46] ghoti: i know! i know! [04:46] deexannihilate: aaccoring to the fourms setting the rez in cheese fixes it [04:47] I'm running on a LiveCD. Is it possible to take the changes I've made so far and turn them back into an iso or liveCD of their own? [04:47] 176x144 [04:47] Schizoid: alright... looks as if the kernel should support smp already, do you have a standard setup? [04:47] gogeta: it didn't come with cheese it came with f-spot? it says no camera detected. should i just install cheese, change resolution too? [04:48] Ghoti: it says 'ProFTPd is started from inetd/xinetd.' [04:48] sorry im a n00b :P [04:48] sol93: i have xubuntu 9.04 x64, kernel is 2.6.13-generic SMP [04:48] bullgard4: its the same as a brand, at least I meant it that way. Company branding is any art or written word that uniquely identifies the company to consumers. This includes any trademarks, both text jingles and graphic symbols. [04:48] gogeta: my terminal was crash. i forget what i do at last time. i can't write something there. its just blank page there [04:48] Schizoid: old so old o: [04:49] tu many olds ;c [04:49] DaZ: sorry, it is 2.6.28-13 [04:49] Sp0d: no problem- it may already be running, try ftp 127.0.0.1; if you get a login prompt, it's already running. If not, you'll need to sudo /etc/inint.d/inetd start (or if not inetd, xinetd) [04:49] danbhfive: Thank you very much for explaining. I wish you a pleasant goog morning.

[04:51] deexannihilate: with cheese [04:51] sol93, And where do I fint information on how to program for multiprocessors? Could you help me? [04:51] gvsa123: places -> connect to server [04:51] Ghoti: Nice, would chmod 755 suffice? [04:51] bucky: can you show me an example of how the command would look with a higher port? [04:52] gogeta: i've had nothing but bad luck with stuff working out of the box! :( thanks [04:52] att0: yes, if you want anyone on the computer to be able to run the script, which is moderately dangerous [04:52] zimbres: basically you just have to make your software use several threads/processes, and the system would distribute them. There is nothing hyper-special about multiprocessing [04:52] what is better, OpenJDK-6 or Sun-java6-jdk? [04:52] Ghoti: i don't get that part... [04:52] deexannihilate: lol [04:52] sol93: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1232564 this is my post, what post are you referring to?

[04:55] sol93: that is interesting, thank you [04:55] I tried those links you sent me [04:55] gvsa123: 'Server' would be the address of your server (e. g. 192.168.1.5'), 'share' is the name of the share, 'folder' is the subdirectory of the share you want to mount, usename is, well, the username, and the domain is the domain (or the workgroup) of the Windows box [04:55] no luck [04:55] !ff35 [04:55] 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 [04:55] deexannihilate: i guess the webcam only works in 1 driver mode and has issues w f-spot [04:56] prappl93: You can find the answer to your question yourself by using Synaptic search.

I was just wondering if they had the support for it already. I am not surprised that it does. Lol [04:56] deexannihilate: other stuff is listed as working [04:56] gvsa123: you always need to know what you're connecting *to* when you're making these sorts of connections [04:56] prappl93, as of right now, the answer appears to be no [04:56] maybe I should just format and go back to Windows :( [04:57] Schizoid: zimbres: according to help.ubuntu.com (and to my not so good knowledge), just using the right kernel should do the trick. Schizoid has either some special problem or the cores wouldnt show in /proc at all... i am still researching. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel [04:57] mattwj2002: wtf [04:57] just kidding :P [04:57] !language | gogeta [04:57] gogeta: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [04:57] prappl93, 3.5.2 works just fine for me in 9.04, just download the Mozilla version, or use ubuntuzilla script to install it [04:57] Ghoti: how come it used to be that i just configure it and then on ubuntu, go to places>network and then the workgroup computers would appear there... [04:57] i'll google and check it out [04:57] gogeta: any idea why the task pane buttons are invisible?

[04:58] sol93: ps who is zimbres? [04:58] gvsa123: you could try places -> network, but it's a lot easier if you know the info that you fill into the 'connect to server' box, at least for me. As always, there's more than one way to skin a metaphorical cat [04:58] Schizoid: someone, who got curious about our conversation [04:58] lshw, Schizoid [04:59] sol93: yeah [04:59] Schizoid, I just got interested on this issue about multi core processing.

[04:59] Ghoti: hmm,... the other users might find the other way confusing. how can i set it up so that any system connected to the mshome domain would appear? [04:59] zimbers/sol93 is there a place I can post the output [04:59] I've been waiting, hoping FF 3.5.2 would become available from apt, but so far it's not there, even though though the lastest 3.0 update is..... [04:59] anyone know what it will take to get a 2.6.30 kernel working on hardy? [04:59] Geoffrey2: its there [04:59] gvsa123: it's been a long time since I've dealt with a lot of Windows shares like that, so that's a bit out of my depth I'm afraid [04:59] Schizoid: It should show up in /proc. Use pastebin.com for pastes [04:59] Ghoti: oh.. that's odd... it's there now. [05:00] zimbers/sol93 http://pastebin.com/m152e3452 [05:00] Sp0d: could you pastebin the output of 'sudo netstat -plnt' for me?

Any effect from any of those? [05:06] stage 1 :) [05:06] I recently upgraded to 9.04 (2.6.28-14-generic) and I can't seem to find a debug kernel (it used to be in the metapackage linux-image-debug in older ubuntu versions), any idea what happened to it or if I need to do something special with my repositories to get it now? [05:06] Ghoti: http://paste.ubuntu.com/248363/ It looks like 127.0.0.1 should work... [05:07] Sp0d: you presently do not have any FTP servers running. [05:07] HarrisonF: it should be listed as lunux-image-dbg [05:07] Sp0d: try sudo dpkg-=reconfigure proftpd [05:07] no '=', just the '-', Sp0d [05:07] im wondering if i can do a dist-upgrade with dm-crypt...my dirve is already crypted is there a howto someone can point me @? [05:07] Ghoti: is there a diff ftp server you would reccomend? [05:08] gogeta, Ghoti: and i can't download from my synaptic and add/remove package manager. [05:08] kk ill try it [05:08] did you try "apt-cache search linux|grep debug"? [05:08] Sp0d: I generally don't use FTP; I use SFTP (FTP over SSH) [05:08] need help ! every time i install file give me this : make[1]: *** [_module_/home/kad/Desktop/sonixcam-module-20040526/src] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.30' (do u think something wrong with new kernel) ? [05:08] hi, sorry to bother, nobody answered in samba, I was wondering why is samba allowing me to rename files that are owned by another user (can't modify them but I can rename and delete) it's kind of ridiculous, I'm guessing the upper folder permissions? [05:08] wizz: what exactly happens when you try? what errors (if any) do you get? [05:08] wizz you probly messed up ssomething but you might be able to recover [05:08] Gah, it dosent give me any kind of error message just quits "not connected" as if i havent touched anything [05:08] kad_: you're compiling from source? [05:08] gogeta, hrm, i am getting package doesn't exist [05:08] does wicd have an error log? [05:09] im wondering if i can do a dist-upgrade with dm-crypt...my dirve is already crypted is there a howto someone can point me @? [05:09] Ghoti: yeah... they can see each other now... didn't really do anything... but they do.. thanks anyway...

[05:09] Baconizer, http://pastebin.com/m7f022db4 [05:10] kad_: then take the output of make, all of it, and put it into a pastebin area [05:10] Never mind :P [05:10] :P [05:10] Schizoid: you might perhaps simply have disabled the core in your bios. [05:10] did you update grub menu.lst file? [05:10] DaveX: no idea. Just backup your system before you attempt any kind of upgrade. If it's important enough to encrypt, it's important enough to backup... [05:10] Ghoti: np... i know the last time i used ubuntu, i had to modify smb.conf... and then after some releases, system-config-samba did everything... so i was wondering what was going on now.... finally have a permanent box i can run ubuntu on... :) [05:10] How to be the IRC administrator? [05:10] wizz you can try issuing this command dpkg --configure -a [05:11] kad_: it might be their problem [05:11] gvsa123: yay! \o/ [05:11] kad_: I doubt it's an issue with your kernel [05:11] Schizoid: doesn't look like a problem, that would be related to your MoBo. It is likely something else. [05:11] wizz if a package is messed uo it might be able to correct it [05:11] Baconizer, how i can fix it ? [05:11] Ghoti: can you reccomend a sftp server please? I think I'm giving up on proftpd, plus I like the SSH idea Thanks! [05:11] Ghoti, gogeta: it happen to my another pc. and i don't use it till know. i forgot what exactly happen. [05:11] kad_: try going into the channel of the software you're trying to set up, or see if there's an extra guide for installing on Ubuntu [05:11] alves_rn, i don't actually need to boot it, i just need the kernel installed (for oprofile usage), but i can't find it in any packages [05:11] Sp0d: openssh-server includes sftp [05:11] HarrisonF: http://ddebs.ubuntu.com/pool/main/l/linux/ [05:12] Baconizer, mean the problem not from my kernel? right ? [05:12] wizz: without knowing the error, it's hard to say what's broken, I'm afraid :-/ [05:12] under a constant heavy read/write load for a hard drive, which scenario would yield better performance: 60MB/s Read and 3% cpu utilization or 70MB read and 20% cpu utilization..? [05:12] apparently firefox when restarted did not open all my closed tabs, can I recover/reopen all my tabs when I closed firefox [05:12] kad_: I don't know if it is [05:12] legend2440, ah ha! awesome! that looks like them! [05:12] From the Microdia website I see, it has some stuff to install [05:12] sol93: i am going to reboot and check the bios, but i am quite sure I never went in there and turned them off :p [05:12] brb [05:12] Ghoti: hehe well that should be able to at least get apt going again [05:12] kad_: you did install kernel-package, linux-headers, build-essential, ctags, and libv4l, right? [05:13] <_tunafish> hey, can someone help me to get the unsupported plugins in compiz? using jaunty and latest version of compiz [05:13] linux-image-debug-generic [05:13] Baconizer, no only build-essential === richard is now known as Guest43844 [05:13] _tunafish: what sort of unsupported compiz plugins? [05:13] Does anyone know how to register nick names? [05:13] kad_: ...install that other stuff [05:13] kad_: then run "make clean" [05:13] is it the package?

I have a question; I just bought a VPS running ubuntu 9.04 64bit, and I setup an ipv6 tunnel with my provider and all is fine there, however, I have ndone an 'apt-get install oidentd' to install oidentd and it works on ipv4 but the daemon is NOT listening on ipv6. Can anyone help? Do I need another identd daemon? [05:15] Baconizer, it give me linux-headers of old kernel ! i install new one [05:15] wwwbryan: or you can add it as a login in pidgin [05:16] buddies i have a question too [05:16] <_tunafish> ctmjr: i have done that but freewins isnt listed there [05:16] in fact are two :) [05:16] w_a_n_d: might there be an identd6 or similar ipv6-specific ident dæmon? [05:16] <_tunafish> Ghoti: alright, thank you. checking it out now [05:16] !ask | alves_rn [05:16] alves_rn: 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. :-) [05:16] _tunafish: good luck! [05:18] does kernel version 2.6.30 require something funny in hardy to be upgraded? [05:18] okay, put on a clown nose [05:18] gogeta: i tried to register earlier and it told me my email was invalid? [05:19] Stralytic: considering that the normal kernel version for Hardy is 2.6.24... yes, I imagine it would ;) [05:20] /msg NickServ REGISTER bar foo@bar.com [05:20] Baconizer, when i compile new kernel i didn't do make dep ! does this make effect on what's happen to me ? [05:20] Syntax: REGISTER [05:20] gogetaL tried again and it worked [05:20] rww: got anything more constructive than that? [05:20] kad_: try it and see ... since you got the other packages installed, have you tried compiling again? [05:21] /msg NickServ HELP register [05:21] Stralytic: I'm not sure what your question is. Do you /have/ 2.6.30 and want to upgrade it, or, have 2.6.24 and want to upgrade to 2.6.30? [05:21] Baconizer, compiling again the kernel ? [05:21] hi guys [05:21] kad_: the driver [05:21] i've installed hardy on a notebook, without any boot options. when i reboot it, i choose the option on grub and the boot stops. dont load the image, just stops on a black screen. anyone? [05:22] hello guys i have a problem with smoothwall xpress who can give me little help plz [05:22] kad_: in your terminal, type sudo apt-get install kernel-package linux-headers build-essential ctags libv4l [05:22] Baconizer, i can't it say : *** Warning: make dep is unnecessary now. [05:22] rww: i've built a 2.6.30 kernel and it won't boot, i've got raid+lvm and when 2.6.30 boots it can't find the root fs [05:22] alves_rn: o further error message ? [05:22] kad_: then it is unnecessary ;) [05:22] no* [05:22] nothing [05:22] Baconizer, it won't install since when i do this , it install the old kernel i got kernel 2.6.30 installed [05:22] kad_: run what I gave you, then try to compile the module again [05:22] alves_rn: tired recovery mode ? [05:22] kad_: you compiled the new kernel and everything, right? [05:23] kad_: then, IIRC you should have linux-headers and kernel-package, sort of [05:23] Baconizer, ya [05:23] kad_: just install ctags and libv4l from the repo [05:23] kad_: and try to compile again [05:23] just on cd boot an error "DMI BIOS year==0" [05:24] Baconizer, installed them now :) [05:24] but boot continue without errors [05:24] ok [05:24] Stralytic: I'll ask the obvious question: you included the raid & lvm modules right? [05:24] alves_rn: that's not too worse, can you boot safe mode ? [05:24] just on cd boot an error [05:24] losher: yes, of course [05:24] no [05:24] Baconizer, E: Couldn't find package libv4l [05:24] Stralytic: just checking. Start googling my friend... [05:24] dont load the linux image [05:24] I forget the terminology but I want to be able to just type novacom in order to run the program regardless of what directory I'm in. [05:25] alves_rn: are you on live cd now ? [05:25] Stralytic: Ah. Well, like I said, 2.6.24 is the latest supported kernel version for Hardy. If you're trying to use 2.6.30 for some reason, you're on your own. The kernel packages at http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ may work a little better, since they're packaged by Ubuntu people (but are still highly unofficial) =/ [05:25] hd led dont blink [05:25] cajun: so you want 'novacom' to be on the path? [05:25] kad_: libv4l-0 [05:25] yes [05:25] kad_: And libv4l-dev would be good too [05:25] Baconizer, libv4l-0 is already the newest version. [05:25] kad_: then it's installed, move on [05:25] sudo novacom is ok. it's in opt/palm/novacom i guess so. still learning linux [05:26] How do I prompt a user for string of text using the command line? [05:26] alves_rn: open a terminal .. [05:26] I remember there's some command for that. [05:26] ok [05:26] MindVirus1: read variablename [05:26] Schizoid: still can't find anything hintful on the web [05:26] Ghoti: how do I do that? [05:26] alves_rn: sudo apt-get install pastebinit [05:26] kad_: just so you know, if there isn't a package available, but you know it's in there, run apt-cache search [05:26] Ghoti: there is some GUI version. [05:27] Ghoti: starts with the letter "e". [05:27] alves_rn: sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit [05:27] Baconizer, from what do u think problem? new kernel not good? [05:27] how do i assign a keystroke to focus a certain window? [05:27] cajun: if you know the location of 'novacom', you could 'sudo ln -s /path/to/novacom /bin/novacom' [05:27] is efnet down for all of u [05:27] alves_rn: give resulting url here [05:27] kad_: you installed the packages and -dev packages, right? [05:27] Baconizer, or maybe coz i left the old kernel installed also ? [05:27] kad_: post the outpout of make again [05:28] Baconizer, installed them before [05:28] Baconizer, ok [05:28] sol93: my bios has no option to turn off cores etc [05:28] MindVirus1: not on my install; e shows all commands starting with 'e', and nothing looks like a GUI prompt to read into an environment variable. [05:29] Ghoti: exactly; it doesn't look like it. [05:29] Baconizer, http://pastebin.com/mc94daa7 [05:29] Schizoid: too bad... would have been a silly mistake anyways. I couldn't find anything interesting on the web. *thinking* [05:29] Ghoti: really, in essence, I don't believe it reads into a variable; I think it just prints it out. [05:29] kad_: well, that got a lot farther :D [05:29] MindVirus1: what precisely are you trying to do? [05:29] Which is useful for `e --prompt` type of things. [05:29] kad_: have you tried asking in #microdia? [05:29] MindVirus1: oh- echo! [05:29] Ghoti: a little script to remove a kernel version completely. [05:29] Baconizer, nah this is another source [05:29] MindVirus1: read -p ? [05:29] sol93: oh well, thank you for trying to help [05:29] Ghoti: no, that's not it. [05:30] No, no. [05:30] It's a GUI thing. [05:30] guys, how do I check all the groups I can use chgrp to? [05:30] Schizoid: from what I saw on the forums, there is a _tiny_ chance, that a BIOS update might help. [05:30] sol93: hopefully some one on the forums will have an idea [05:30] kad_: I don't really know :< [05:30] I saw it in Gedit. [05:30] MindVirus1: sorry, I see 'script', I think 'terminal', not 'gui' [05:30] kad_: if no one else here can help you, you can always try the forums [05:30] alves_rn: ? [05:30] Ghoti: losher: I'll show you when I Find it. [05:30] *find [05:30] the note are not connected [05:30] Baconizer, i don't care for the source microdia, all i need to know is my new kernel working ok? or it's not good ? :) [05:30] Schizoid: did you say, another Linux works with all cores? [05:30] im on desktop [05:31] MindVirus1: you want something that will throw up a window & ask a question? [05:31] kad_: it's not compiling, apparently [05:31] sol93: yes [05:31] Ghoti: losher: sorry, it was zenity. [05:31] Found it. [05:31] MindVirus1: are you sure it's not some function of another programming/scripting language? [05:31] :) [05:31] kad_: the only way to make sure is to compile it, and try it out [05:31] but i have 3 partitions: sda1=>swap, sda2=>/, sda3=>/home [05:31] alves_rn: any way to access/network it ? [05:31] kad_: I can't really tell you from here. If you've compiled your own kernel, you should know what all you're doing. ;) [05:32] Baconizer, thinking to go back to old kernel and check :P the 2 files [05:32] Schizoid: Too strange, since we shouldnt need additional software besides the kernel-smp-"nonmodule" [05:32] hi, are there any open office for sale templates? automobile... thanks! [05:32] evening all, why is it when I want to start firefox is shows up in the little box of the top left of my screen ? [05:32] after i dual-boot ubuntu on a win-xp laptop... is there a way I can revert the installation? like just make my computer forget i installed ubuntu on it.. give the partition storage space back to the fat32 drive, and just... leave ubuntu in the past [05:32] sol93: yeah, i still have my gentoo kernels, but there is no way they are going to work with ubuntu [05:33] Schizoid: if you're very desperate, you could try compiling a new kernel [05:33] it seems that if i install ubuntu on this particular laptop, the fan stops working even when i boot into winxp [05:33] installation is ok, but after reboot dont init using hd [05:33] and my computer is getting so hot it burns my fingers [05:33] so this is sorta like Speed [05:33] jpa--, delete the partition [05:33] jpa--: Yes, of course. [05:33] jpa--: use gparted to grow windows to fill the hard drive, boot your windows CD into the recovery console, and use fixmbr to wipe GRUB [05:34] Now I feel dirty ;) [05:34] Baconizer, think got this : http://www.nabble.com/em8300-with-linux-2.6.29---2.6.30-rc-td23528584.html having same problem lol seems from the kernel [05:34] alves_rn: from this state this is quite a crystal ball, so you can now only check the installer medium; else boot it live and chroot into hd to get access to log files/fixing [05:34] Schizoid: I give up. I wish you quick success! [05:34] sol93: thanks duder [05:34] jpa--: could be coincidence. Maybe your fan has just failed. Moving part technology you know... [05:34] Ghoti: :-) [05:34] evening all, why is it when I want to start firefox is shows up in the little box of the top left of my screen ?but firefox has a blank screen [05:34] losher: :) [05:35] losher: it happened the last time i installed ubuntu as well.. like 2 years ago [05:35] Schizoid: my dictionary won't show a verb "to dude", would it? lol [05:35] i've tried all_generic_ide on grub options because its a sis mobo [05:35] last time, i took the easy (annoying) way out and just did a factory wipe of my laptop [05:35] its one of those toshibia proprietary ones that have a toshiba reecovery cd [05:35] no idea if it even has fixmbr [05:35] jpa--: I do seem to recall some mention of fans running *slower* under ubuntu for certain laptops, but nothing that persisted into a windows boot... [05:36] krammer_: Does it say about:blank in the address bar? [05:36] no [05:36] jpa--: off to #windows with you... [05:36] krammer_: So the whole window is blank? [05:36] usr13, what i do is grab the little box and resize it and nothing is in there [05:36] losher: either way, im sticking by my hypothesis.. im not here to debate the merit of that, but just find the correct process to take to get rid of ubuntu for now [05:36] alves_rn: you got to view lappis hd-syslog-file [05:36] yes [05:37] hi there [05:37] usr13, the box is this big [ ] [05:37] apart from /home is there any other dir that would be a good idea to keep separate from / ? [05:37] alves_rn: sure medium was good ? md5sum- and cdself test done ? [05:37] jpa--: I wasn't being awkward. What Ghoti said was what you need. For where to get fixmbr, #windows is the place to ask... [05:37] Hilikus: /boot perhaps? [05:38] Ghoti: why? [05:38] losher: fixmbr is in the windows installation cd [05:38] krammer_: Can't you make it bigger? [05:38] Hilikus: if you have /boot on its own partition, and unmount it after booting, it's hard to break your system in a way that prevents it from booting [05:38] alves_rn: does the lappi support boot from usb ? [05:39] Hilikus: like i said, my laptop came with a proprietary toshiba rescue disc that contains windows on it [05:39] usr13, yes but there isnt anything in there, this is weird [05:39] but not sure if it actually has fixmbr [05:39] krammer_: ... by clicking on the corner and drag it out bigger? [05:39] it brings up it's own splash screen and UI [05:39] yes [05:39] jpa--: just do a search on the disk [05:39] hmm, what's the best flash player to get? rpm? deb? something else? [05:39] if i want to check my mail right now by using firefox i cannt [05:39] !flash | BrendenX [05:39] BrendenX: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [05:39] BrendenX: those are two unrelated questions [05:39] !rpm | BrendenX [05:39] BrendenX: 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) === mehere is now known as mehere1 [05:40] ok, no rpm's then. I'll check out those links [05:40] krammer_: Is your system fully updated? [05:40] usr13, i just removed the icon for firefox may it got corrupted [05:40] krammer_: open a terminal, run "firefox -profilemanager", create a new profile, and see if it's still broken in the new profile. [05:41] hello [05:41] !hi | ubudog [05:41] ubudog: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [05:41] alves_rn: ? [05:41] thanks [05:41] thanks guys have a good nite [05:42] farfignugens [05:42] im on ubuntuforums [05:42] as ubudog also [05:42] anyone recommend any decent wireless cards for ubuntu without breaking the bank looking to spend around 50 [05:43] anyone using chromium get the update that has a guys face for the exit button?: [05:43] JohnCDI: belklins tend to work [05:43] the built-in wireless in my Dell worked just fine, JohnCDI. I don't know if that is useful for you. [05:44] my belkin isn't supported by ubuntu [05:44] yea i got built in in my dell right now that im using [05:44] HighLordObsi: try wicd [05:44] and it works but not very well [05:44] JohnCDI: they have linux drives officaly [05:44] its just a shitty card [05:44] ive got the bcm4306 right now in my dell laptop [05:44] and ive tried a ton of different fixes ndiswrapper and the b43 drivers [05:44] HighLordObsi: my belkin bg+ works out of the box in ubuntu [05:44] i only get like 1Mb/s [05:44] mine runs at about 150kb/s, which is all I care about [05:45] really? [05:45] yep [05:45] the whole virtual machine thing is confusing the hell out of me [05:45] HighLordObsi: gogeta: i have belkin usb wifi adapters, too. Bought them on the same day, from the same shelf. Different chips, and they behave differently in my Ubuntus [05:45] something that i didnt think would work is on my desktop also running jaunty i plugged in a D-link usb wireless adapter and it worked right away [05:46] HighLordObsi: what vm is confusing ? [05:46] HighLordObsi: gogeta: I could make them work, by replacing Network Manager with Wicd [05:46] HighLordObsi: the whole computer thing confuses the hell out of me. [05:46] yeah so far I'm amazed at how complete and functional Ubuntu is [05:46] i wish i could use my dlink laptop wireless adapter in my pc...that thing kicks butt [05:46] trying to patch the kernel when i use patch -p1 , give me file to patch ? which i use? the kernel file or the patch file ? [05:46] sol93: well you can always use ndiswrapper befor ubuntu supported mine fully it worked well that way [05:47] its confusing in that you have to set up more crap...well not really confusing more a pain in the butt [05:47] sol93: belkin makes a inux driver callled linux sta [05:47] HighLordObsi: Yea, some of those laptop wifi nics are really powerful. [05:47] gogeta: interesting... do you know, if those drivers might allow me to create an access point with my Ubuntu? [05:47] has anyone had just a great experience out of the box with a wireless card in ubuntu? lol [05:48] sol93: i just patched up a dell mini with one a 4312 [05:48] i'd like to buy something and not have much of a hassle getting decent performance out of it [05:48] sol93: using linux sta [05:48] this is my first ubuntu experience [05:48] JohnCDI: Yep, nearly every time. [05:48] JohnCDI: yes, Atheros Communications Inc. AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01) [05:49] the best way is to test before u buy ... [05:49] i have a linksys pci card, but it has no antenna :( [05:49] * Ermott has just installed Jaunty on my brand new home built computer. ... and it works.... [05:49] HighLordObsi: so you can just boost its power [05:49] the bcm4306 in ubuntu is probably the most annoying problem ive ever come across [05:49] Ermott: Congrats... [05:49] yeah, at one point i had it hooked up to an external tv antenna [05:50] Hello everyone. I need some help with setting up samba. I have it set up, I just need to know how to get a windows machine to use the printer on my linux box. [05:50] HighLordObsi: laptop wifi cards normaly run at half power and linksys makes addons like high gain antenna [05:51] what should i do when i buy a new card will the onboard make a conflict do you shut it off in the bios i havent really messed with this laptop much i got it for free [05:51] sol93: i have a bg+ belkin picma no issues w linux windows nedded a driver lol [05:52] gogeta: i read, that the firmware must support something specific, in order to use a wifi adapter for making access points. had no success so far. [05:52] hello everyone, i just did the regular ubuntu update where it says like you have 2.9 mb to update and it had firefox in the option. after the update it said firefox needed a restart, but when i try to restart fire fox it is not starting up [05:52] i have an old crappy belkin 54g usb stick at the moment...it bites a big one [05:52] has anyone experienced this problem? [05:52] detrix1: See: http://us6.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/classicalprinting.html#id2627716 [05:52] well I'm off to play Sauerbratten. Good evening everyone... [05:52] sol93: get a wifi roughter lol [05:53] any other good menus for gnome that doesn't suck [05:53] i want a very customizable one [05:53] usr13: thanx [05:53] detrix1: NOP [05:54] detrix1: NP [05:54] typo.... [05:54] gogeta: my goal is to make my notebook share my HSDPA internet with others over wifi. would be nice, if I could do it without an additional piece of hardware. [05:54] sol93: install firestarter [05:54] sol93: i think wicd can kick a card into acess point [05:54] greets, can someone point me to the right channel to discuss launchpad packaging issues? [05:55] usr13: that's not the problem, my wifi adapter wont work as access point, afai found out [05:55] sol93: Oh, well, you'd need a wifi nic that has AP mode. [05:56] usr13: you seem to have done it before. can you give me a tutorial or some other info? [05:56] usr13: never heard of AP mode before [05:56] sol93: acess point mode [05:57] sol93: Well, it's not really called AP mode... [05:57] anyone can help with issues generating source packages on launchpad? [05:57] sol93: not all wifi cards can do it [05:57] do you mean monitor mode? [05:57] oh.. heheh... that was, what i read... the firmware must support it [05:58] how could i assign a keystroke to change focus to a specific window or desktop? [05:58] can you tell me, how i can find out, which wifi adapters are supporting it? i would buy the right one [05:58] kerm|t: with compiz, it's quite simple [05:58] sol93: the one for the psp kilink has it [05:58] sol93: lemmie find it [05:59] gogeta: very nice, thank you [05:59] How would I make desktop icons load to the right side of the screen by default (like a mac)? [05:59] !hardware | sol93 [05:59] sol93: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [05:59] hmm, I tried to install Flash like this like says, and it seemed to go ok, but I don't have flash support now. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash [05:59] sol93: If you are going to share with only one other machine, just use adhoc mode and install firestarter and tell it to share the connection. [05:59] sol93: i have one what was it name arg [05:59] How would I make desktop icons load to the right side of the screen by default (like a mac)? [06:00] sol93: compiz does many things, can you be more specific? [06:00] kerm|t: i'll have a look, stand by [06:00] can someone tell me another browser than fire fox.... it keeps saying starting fire fox web browser and then it vanishes [06:00] BrendenX: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-resctricted-extras [06:00] i want to try another browser [06:00] sol93: the datel wifimax [06:00] sileni: opera? [06:00] DasEI, I'll try that [06:01] !opera | sileni [06:01] sileni: opera is an advanced and free (only as in price) web browser. Install it via Applications->Add/Remove..., making sure that "Show commercial applications" (dapper only) is checked. For more info on opera please see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OperaBrowser [06:01] sol93: i knoe in windows i can set it to ap === c is now known as charitwo [06:01] sol93: and i knoe they made a linux driver to [06:01] usr13: thanks [06:01] sileni: NP [06:01] kerm|t: If you have "Rotate Cube" active, you can use it's key bindings for certain workspaces. I guess, there are other plugins, I continue looking [06:02] kerm|t: of course, the "workspace switcher" can do it :) [06:02] no, too much junk in "extras" I think [06:02] sileni, Opera, Konquor, Google Chrome, Seamonkey, Dillo, midori, Flock [06:03] kerm|t: Rotate cube has a default key binding for turning the cube: ctrl-alt-left/right [06:03] sileni, There are others but I can't think of them [06:03] wow [06:03] they have chrome for linux now ? [06:03] how is it ? [06:03] sileni, What exactly do you want in a browser? [06:03] sileni, not exactly [06:03] just internet browsing , and tabs preferably [06:04] hmm...no sound...no internet...nice [06:04] vruiz: it's "konqueror" [06:04] gogeta: thanks, i will have a look at that adapter [06:04] sileni: There's also lynx [06:04] lynx rofl [06:04] usr13: that doesn't have tabbing though [06:04] :\ [06:05] sileni: in this case, you could use "screen" [06:05] sileni: No, but sure is a nice browser [06:05] sileni, Chrome has a dev build right now which is not very stable with flash. Other than that the browser works great. I have tested this. Flash works about 60% of the time. When it crashes it will only crash that tab (which you can reload right back) want link? [06:05] sol93: really... [06:05] sileni: if you want a lighter weight browser than FF, give Epiphany Browser a try. [06:05] sileni: You might like konqueror or opera They both have tabs. [06:06] vruiz: no thanks [06:06] sol93: yea [06:06] yeah I can't get Flash to go, it says "i386" is the wrong architecture [06:06] sileni, you sure? imo it's useful to have around [06:06] sileni: But firefox is the most feature rich. It's the one I use most of the time. [06:07] sileni, fast [06:07] vruiz: ephiphany works great :D [06:07] vruiz: thank you though, i will take the link just in case [06:07] !screensaver [06:07] Sorry, I don't know anything about screensaver [06:08] sileni, lol. You should try chrome though it's pretty nice even in dev. Really Really fast although I don't think webkit is fully implemented yet [06:08] huh, after three reboots Flash is working... weird... [06:08] sileni, ok let me get link [06:08] sol93: can i assign keys to specific windows/desktops that way? not rotating through, thats just like alt-tab [06:09] i know how to do it in kde, maybe i should use that [06:10] kerm|t: you can "switch to cube face #n" (rotate cube) or "Switch to viewport #n" (viewport switcher) [06:11] ghgdj [06:11] So I'm trying to install Privoxy, and it's giving me this error: Fatal error: can't check configuration file '/home/user/config': No such file or directory [06:11] Anyone know offhand how to fix that...? [06:12] sileni, http://www.google.com/chrome/intl/en/eula_dev.html?dl=unstable_i386_deb [06:12] Hallux: no idea really, but a blind guess: you might have to create the config, there could be an example somewhere. [06:12] lol thank you [06:12] Well, there's a config file [06:12] which looks to be privoxy's config file [06:12] I turned off dbus using server-admin and now I cannot login (keyboard no workee). Is there a console-based equivalent so that I can turn dbus back on?? [06:12] in etc/privoxy [06:12] but I don't know why privoxy doesn't know this already [06:13] Hi, all: does anyone use osprey 240e on ubuntu? [06:13] Hallux: pastebin.com the etc conf file, maybe i can see something [06:13] sileni, Like I said flash is unstable yet it's google. What that means is it's still good reliability. So I have found [06:13] no one really uses cvs anymore and people use svn instead? === Azeem is now known as moymoy [06:13] sec [06:14] sileni, more over I am curious to what your opinion will be once you use it :-) Cause that's how I am [06:14] vruiz, lol [06:14] vruiz: thanks for the link [06:15] http://pastebin.com/d1444a899 [06:15] there it is [06:15] Hallux: perhaps this simple howto helps: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Privoxy [06:15] sileni, np let me know if you install it excited to hear your experience [06:16] Anyway guys I am trying to get my desktop icons to default to the right side instead of the left (like a mac) any way to do this? I tried to find it in gconf [06:16] er, service admin [06:16] hello everyone, my computer speaker is broken and I want to record a song play on my computer using GNOME Voice Recorder, is there a way to redirect the sound play on your PC to the microphone line? Please help [06:16] sol93, that how-to explanation doesn't mention moving the config file [06:16] It seems to assume that Privoxy has no problems with where the config file is located originally upon install [06:16] does svn replace cvs? [06:17] Hallux: read lines 35+ of that example config. does that help? [06:17] I mean, I guess I could just copy a config file to where Privoxy seems to think it should be, but it's just kind of disconcerting to think that it doesn't know where its own files are [06:17] vruiz: doesn't support my architecture [06:17] looking [06:17] i am back [06:17] Hallux: 37+ [06:17] for now [06:17] ahh [06:17] I'll give that a try [06:18] gotta go [06:18] sileni, 64 bit? [06:18] Help? is there a console method to turn a service back on?? [06:18] hi [06:18] daemon [06:18] like, well, chkconfig worked on mandrake? [06:19] wow know one knows how to solve my issue? Seems simple.... [06:19] lol I tried typing privoxy etc/privoxy/config and now it's complaining that it can't find the config file /home/user/etc/privoxy/config [06:19] Do you happen to know the proper syntax to use to get out of the /home/user directory? [06:19] try update-rc.d [06:19] Can someone tell me why this very simple firewall on my Ubuntu system will not grant access to my internal webserver from the internet, please? http://pastebin.com/m165180a5 [06:20] Hallux: there seems to be the leading / missing, so it looks like it understands it as a relative path [06:20] i see [06:20] nice [06:20] Help? is there a console method to turn a service back on?? [06:20] now it isn't giving me that fatal error any more [06:20] instead it's giving me another one [06:20] I'll go try to figure that one out on my own first [06:21] I broke my install, and am wringing my hands now [06:21] badoo: starting a service is done with sudo /etc/init.d/ start - but this will not make it permanent. [06:21] how can I make it permanent? [06:22] sol93: any ideas on permanence? [06:22] Thanks for the help, btw, sol93 [06:22] badoo: either you click it in the GUI or you tweak the init scripts (look for sysvinit tutorials) - there is even a command line tool for configuring init scripts. [06:22] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7741425 <-- someone help me with an IPv6 Server problem, very simple .... if you have IPv6, you can help with no knowledge [06:22] chkconfig worked for me in other installs [06:22] Can you guys recommend a desktop indexing app that wont have to reindex every 30 seconds from a corrupted index file? [06:22] was looking at tweaking the init scripts, but figured nobody would be that cruel [06:22] i cant work the default search, i'm doing something bad wrong, it cant even find any .mp3 files in my music directory :P [06:23] badoo: sudo apt-get install sysv-rc-conf [06:23] what is noblock option for alsa in mplayer? noblock, what does that mean? [06:23] sol93 thx, will try [06:23] is there any way to search INSIDE the file for a string ? [06:23] when I'm running oidentd via /etc/init.d/oidentd start it is using a -P command and binding to the wrong IP, i think this is the cause of my problems. How do I stop or edit that option out? [06:23] join #ubuntu-cn [06:23] badoo: or sysvconfig - i dont remember, which one i used [06:23] will try now [06:23] can anyone load this site [you must have IPv6 installed] ..... it is tinyurl'd because the domain name is offensive. http://preview.tinyurl.com/nohx58 [06:24] ok, flash and java now work. Any ideas on how to locate where my C: drive went? [06:24] d2n: yea thats what i'm after, tracker does, but its really flaky as far as the index file [06:24] d2n: in what context? [06:24] Hi everybody, i have a question. is there a non-terminal way to mount a drive? Trying to mount a 2nd, 3rd and 4th HDD. [06:24] like command line, or gui app, or what? [06:24] Lolikon, the link is broken [06:25] thiebaude, aka the site is not loading? Do you have IPv6 installed? [06:25] howthef: usually you just have to click the appropriate entry under "Places" [06:25] sol93: of course, I can't get thie box online [06:25] BrendenX: Gui, for me [06:25] Does anyone here have an MSI WInd U100 (or other computer using a sentelic touchpad) that they've successfully gotten the sentelic touchpad drivers to work with under Jaunty? [06:25] Lolikon, yea, im using chrome on XP [06:25] hmm, ok, I'm not sure about a GUI version, innomen [06:25] badoo: think positive... you wont get borde this way *smirks* [06:25] Is it "ok" to remove a swap partition without affecting the rest of the system? [06:25] thiebaude, are you SURE you have Toredo or IPv6 enabled? [06:25] bored badoo [06:25] BrendenX, you familier with beagle? [06:25] not really no [06:26] (I have 2gb of ram) [06:26] its apprently like an alternative to tracker [06:26] oh well [06:26] thanks :) [06:26] BrendenX: as in searching for a phrase in the file, like in windows [06:26] sol93: my impression was that all startup scripts for runlevel5 were in /etc/rc5.d, no? [06:26] using a GUI interface then, D2N? [06:26] MHz128: 2GB ram should be plenty for simple use of the system. You should get "out of memory" messages, if your RAM is consumed. I think its relatively safe to turn of swap. [06:27] badoo: sounds correct [06:27] sol93, ok great! thanks [06:27] and dbus is there, but when I boot, not so, keyboard and mouse are crippled... [06:27] I miss mandrake I guess [06:27] I'm new to Ubuntu and Linux in general. Can somebody explain to me the reasoning behind requiring the administrator to use the sudo command in order to gain what seems to me to be privileges that an administrator account should have inherently? [06:28] BrendenX: both are fine with me [06:28] Lolikon, cannot find server [06:29] thiebaude, well, you are using Windows, probably your problem [06:29] but thanks [06:29] Lolikon, np [06:29] hallux, In case the admin is a dumbass :) [06:29] How do I change the command that /etc/init.d/oidentd is executing [06:30] I see, Voss. But why bother having an admin account at all, then? [06:30] When "installing" Ubuntu within Windows, is it a completely independent operating system when booted to? [06:30] Hallux: on linux, the root account is not a user account like "admin", but its a user "context" reserved for the system. Although you can make it possible to log in as "root", it is strongly recommended not to do so. If youre tired of typing the password all the time, install pamusb and use your flashdisk as key. [06:30] hallux, because linux standard has it [06:30] D2N: something like find | xargs grep -l will work, I think. [06:31] For some reason I have to manually mount my swap partition every time I boot. Is there a way to automate this? [06:31] if you don't mind command line, that is. [06:31] thanks for the explanation [06:31] qpoi_: u speak of wubi ? [06:31] BrendenX: alright, I'll try it, thanks [06:31] Hallux: http://harald.ist.org/self-pc/tricks/linux/howto/pam-usb.html [06:31] DasEi: yes, of sorts -- whatever is included by default on the 9.04 disc [06:32] if you need to search a specific file tree, add it after the "find", like find /var | xargs grep -l [06:32] DasEi: it comes up as an autorun application and offers the installation, and I'd assume that means it's based on wubi [06:32] that'll search /var for the phrase [06:32] qpoi_: there are 3 ways; wubi, as a vm or dualboot , in the line of 'independent' os [06:33] DasEi: wubi is indeed what comes stock with the Ubuntu iso then? [06:33] crap, i can't boot my install anymore. i get this error message. "cannot initialize /etc/mtab" any idea's? [06:34] Hey all, recently upgraded to Jaunty from Hardy LTS. Currently using the 180.44 NV proprietary driver. I want to install the new 185 series or 190 beta NVIDIA driver, but depending on the version I either get a black screen or a distorted screen. Anyone else have this problem? [06:34] qpoi_: yes [06:34] mtab is your mount table, I think. We're you messing with it? [06:34] i messed with fstab [06:34] that sounds bad [06:34] but reverted it to how it was before when it was fine [06:34] using live cd [06:35] Kebert : did you uninstall the old one first ? [06:35] DasEi: alright, and it's entirely independent // added into the Windows bootloader? [06:35] dunno. fstab stands for "fs stab yourself in the eye if you don't know what you are doing." [06:35] it also talks about permissions denied on varius different etc/rc3 [06:35] trust me, I really fubared a system once [06:35] does apt-get install local packages? [06:35] how to manually set the cpu-freq to the max??? [06:35] qpoi_: no, there are 3 ways; wubi, as a vm or dualboot , in the line of 'independent' os (ascending) [06:36] DasEi: Yes with the NV script, just like when kernel upgrades are released. [06:36] damn, bendenX you really think it's shot? [06:36] looks pretty grim from what i can tell. [06:36] qpoi_: wubi is handled by win like a file [06:36] hey guys [06:36] thats why i hate ubuntu sometimes. i mess with it for weeks getting it perfect. dabble with one thing and kaboom, blows up in my face [06:37] Kebert: view your /etc/X11/Xorg.0.log [06:37] sd39: i have that fear [06:37] i'll go cry now :'( [06:37] DasEi: thanks, checking that now [06:37] I am moving a partition w/ gparted. It's going to take 10 hours (much longer than I expected) If I cancel this operation, will the drive be trashed? [06:37] I have an old dell latitude c400.... problem is I don't have any way to boot it. can I install ubuntu to its hdd inside of an external casing then [ut it in the laptop and have it finish installing [06:37] does apt-get install local packages? I'm getting an error that it cannot find it [06:38] sd39: I'm using a sync app to mirrior my ubuntu folder ot an external HD, apprently resotring will be a simple matter of drag and drop, i hope i never have to find out [06:38] it can be hard to fix (sorry, was reading Evil Diva) so you might have to re-install if man pages or online help doesn't work for you. [06:38] badoo: possible from cd ? yes, see : [06:38] !aptoncd [06:38] APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers - See also !offline [06:38] maybe try the forums, they might be able to figure it out. Post your files (mtab and fstab) there. [06:38] Anyomne know how i would get search to show me every mp3 file in a given directory? [06:38] DasEi: I downloaded the package I needed, put it on my ubuntu box, and now need to install it. [06:38] does anyone know what the laws on archiving dvd movies is? I own a small video store and would like to dup the orginals and rent out the backups so that when they get scratched i can destroy them and create new ones. My customers would love this but aparently this is not legal? [06:39] yeah, i know. my files are all over the place right now. I wish i had a free HD at the moment to back up. [06:39] badoo: a deb ? [06:39] DasEi: yep [06:39] grendal_prime: better to ask forgiveness than permission, just do it until someone sends you a letter [06:39] i can still pull files from live cd at least. [06:39] badoo: easy, but first, which one (jaunty?!) ? [06:40] grendal_prime: In the USA it is only legal to perform backups for personal use. [06:40] grendal_prime: fair use is always debatable, this is why we have lawyers and lobbiests [06:40] chkconfig_11.0-79.101_all.deb on intrepid (9.04?) [06:40] kicking myself hard today [06:40] Neros: he personally owns his buisness, it depends on who you ask [06:40] grendal_prime: well, you have to check out local law, but you probably didnt earn the right to lend out the specific disc, but you likely have license to lend out one copy of the disc. I'd say using a backup should be legal. At least in my country, it would be. (Austria) [06:40] My understanding was that the box was the Liscences on these. Meaning, if i buy 10 copies then i can make 10 copies to rent...so long as i dont rent out the other 10 im legal..but man all the info i find on the web says...no way even archival of dvd's is illegal. [06:40] DasEi: I checked /etc/X11/Xorg.0.log and the file doesn't exist on my system. Any other ideas? [06:40] Question: when I recompile the stock kernel of Ubuntu 8.04 (2.6.24-19) by downloading the source (apt-get source linux-image-2.6.24-19-generic), doing `make clean mrproper', `cp /boot/config-2.6.24-19-generic ./.config', `make oldconfig', I answer the questions with the default values, `fakeroot make-kpgk --initrd --append-to-version=mykernel kernel_image kernel_headers' and run it, the xserver boots with high-resolution mode but the displayed image is s [06:40] crewed up. Does this mean that xserver needs to be recompiled because it is hard-coded with the video module of the stock kernel? [06:40] DasEi: chkconfig_11.0-79.101_all.deb on intrepid (9.04?) [06:41] is there a way to move all the menu's "graphics" "internet " "accesories" etc inside a new menu called "all apps" for example?? [06:41] !info chkconfig | badoo [06:41] badoo: chkconfig (source: chkconfig): system tool to enable or disable system services. In component universe, is optional. Version 11.0-79.1-1ubuntu1 (jaunty), package size 9 kB, installed size 68 kB [06:41] Is there a channel for just general disscusion. Nothing to do with Ubuntu? [06:41] !offtopic | shoe [06:41] shoe: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [06:41] grendal_prime: if someone has a problem they will send you a cease and desist, and unless you are selling copies you'll have no problems beyond civil [06:41] do any of you use mythtv? my cable box has Firewire, but my htpc does not have firewire , is there any other connections other than firewire to use mythtv? [06:41] Thanks [06:41] innomen that may be true but the law says he may only back them up for personal use (in the case of DVD's that is personal vieing) [06:42] badoo : it is in universe, your sources.list in order ? [06:42] DasEi: by independent, i'm more or less referring to as far as the OS is concerned [06:42] is there a way in xchat to disable the announcement lines like person (host) has joined #ubuntu ? [06:42] DasEi: i'll explain the scenario to you [06:42] Neros: the law says what ever the judge says it says, and he says what the lawyers convince jhim to say, go check out the EFF, if these laws were cut and dry there would be no debate [06:42] DasEi: cannot log in graphically, cannot get on net [06:42] DasEi: all I need to do is: chkconfig dbus on [06:42] DasEi: i'm trying to defuse an external hard drive of a very malicious Windows virus [06:43] innomen this may be true but it is always better to err on teh side of caution.... [06:43] neros: application and letter are diffrent things [06:43] Neros: not really, not when every day he errs on that side he loses money [06:43] DasEi: if I 'install' Ubuntu on this machine (via wubi, assuming that's what it is) -- there will be no accessing the windows kernel from within this installation, correct? [06:43] neros: its a civil issue the most that will ever happen is a lawsuit [06:43] qpoi_ correct [06:43] Neros: he'd have boatloads of warning [06:44] badoo: you can use / enable network from trml ; k, but if you got exact version, can go : sudo dpkg -i chk*.deb [06:44] innomen: im thinking companys like redbox must use a lisc schema like this. [06:44] innomen are you willing to stake you're income on his buisiness? if not I wouldn't suggest that you advise him to do so [06:44] Neros: yes i am actually [06:44] How to redirect Sound Output to Mic Input using software? [06:44] Has anyone else had problems with using either the 185 or 190-series NVIDIA proprietary driver? [06:44] qpoi_: that's a bad idea then, use a live cd or install to thumbdrive (usb) [06:45] neros: i'm 100% confident else i wouldn't say anything [06:45] grendal_prime redbox licenses the movies from the publishing company... its a bit different than your situation [06:45] Kebert : besides power consumption not really [06:45] it seems it would be rediculas to actually buy and warehouse all those copies, when they could just ya get them lisc like that. [06:45] but it shouldnt be. [06:45] qpoi_: I assume win still boots ? [06:45] i mean im buying lisc just like redbox is. [06:45] DasEi: that's what I'm asking -- neros said no, but which way is it? [06:46] im just getting a box with the thing. [06:46] DasEi: for the record, there are no thumb drives available at this location, and no blank discs/media [06:46] DasEi: that's why it has come down to this [06:46] grendal_prime: you're exploring fair use, fair use is always debatable [06:46] qpoi_: does win still boot ? [06:46] ya, i know... [06:46] grendal_prime: if you're so worried maybe buy insurance instead of paying for backups? [06:46] DasEi: yes, it's a clean windows install right now, but all of this mans personal files are on his infected external drive [06:47] DasEi: every time he plugged the drive in, it would re-infect the machine [06:47] DasEi: qpoi_ means if he is running ubuntu in wubi (which loads a loopmounted file) he will not be able to access the files on the local partition [06:47] Neros: Is there anything you know of that has changed with video handling from Hardy to Jaunty? Ever since I upgraded I cannot get a newer driver than 180.44 to work correctly. I either get a blank screen instead of my login prompt, or the screen is pushed down and to the right.. Are there any files I need to edit to get a "clean" install of the driver again? [06:47] qpoi_: only, if autorun is active. Use TweakUI or something similar to switch it off, then you can mount the drive and scan for viruses safely. [06:47] Im going to call our video distributor tomorro and ask them about it. [06:48] qpoi_: that might work, getting ot here, but I'd use an online-scan , f-prot or sth then [06:48] grendal_prime: and then call the EFF, and then call the MPAA [06:48] you'll get diffrent answers [06:48] Neros: I'm on a Thinkpad T61 with NV Quadro NVS 140M btw. AMD64 version. [06:48] call your state's attorny general's office too [06:48] sol93, DasEi: i took all necessary measures to disable autorun (including the vista patch), but i still don't trust that after the technical articles i've seen [06:49] grendal_prime, this is why they have intellectual property attorneys :) [06:49] qpoi_: a question for #windows , install antivir on win, take online scan on that drive [06:49] Kebert nope... ive only seen issues like that when using the older 7 series of desktops when they tried to use vga and dvi simultaneously [06:49] qpoi_: oh, vista... sorry, anything above XP doesnt exist in my personal reality... i don't know, how it is in vista. Should be the same, i think. You could just remove any executeable from the drive using a live cd. [06:50] ya but innomen the distributor does not want us to go down. (they alsow would like us to have to pay them for another unscratched disk) so my thinking is they will error on the best side for them. === D2N is now known as D3N [06:50] Neros: Very strange issue. I've been googling for weeks and it seems like I'm the only one. :( === D3N is now known as D2N [06:50] qpoi_: remove _every_ i meant [06:50] Neros thanks anyway. [06:50] Neros: you said that accessing files on the local partition is impossible, also true of the windows kernel? no windows files are in use? [06:50] <_tunafish> hey all. i downloaded a copmiz plugin using the "git clone" command and when i try doing "make && make install" nothing happens. there are 2 files and a folder. a src folder CMakeList.txt and throw.xml.in file anyone know howto install?? [06:50] sol93: yes, i had hoped to do that -- but i'm doing this from hundreds of miles away, and the man i'm helping has no transportation and no extra blank media === sleepy_cat is now known as c_nick [06:51] grendal_prime, everyone will, building a business is about risk vs reward *shrugs* [06:51] Kebert : which card is it ? [06:51] sol93: i had him acquire one blank disc initially, and he cannot boot it for some reason (bad media, or lousy dvd reader) [06:51] qpoi_ say you have drive C: in windows. you install wubi to that drive. ANY file on C: (including the windows kernel that is installed in C:\Windows) is inaccessible [06:51] qpoi_: does he need to keep the software from the infected drive? Another issue would be worms (vbscript viruses, in docs) [06:51] DasEi: Quadro NVS 140M on a Thinkpad T61 [06:51] Neros: excellent [06:51] DasEi: AMD64 build [06:51] sol93: I plan on destroying any software I find on the drive as soon as we get him in a safe environment [06:51] but..hey...if they say "thats legal" them i can always sleep a little better at night..and if i get a letter, oh well we stop not a big deal..the investment is nothing more than a newer burner that supports lightscribe and some disks (about 100 bucks) [06:51] Kebert : sorry, no experience with that type [06:52] qpoi_: problems getting his new install online? [06:52] DasEi: thanks anyway [06:52] grendal_prime exactly [06:52] qpoi_ if the files are that inportant tell him to go buy a thumb drive or get a blank disk and boot in al ive environment [06:52] Neros: he has no transportation is the issue [06:52] My customers will really like the idea. [06:52] grendal_prime you have plausible deniability [06:52] Kebert : best apart from google get the 180 back [06:52] Neros: we made one ubuntu disc, but alas, it did not work [06:52] grendal_prime, you are clearly not trying to infiringe [06:52] infringe* [06:53] unscratched disks to take home...vs....spending the night trying to skip past bad spots. [06:53] thats all the court will care about [06:53] qpoi_: you said, he had a freshly installed sys. Windows? [06:53] qpoi_ is the windows in question vista or xp? [06:53] sol93: yes, he recovered via the angel partition that laptops have [06:53] /mode $me +x [06:53] Neros: vista, hence why I'm so scared of the inability to completely disable autorun [06:54] Am I right in thinking that in order to set up an Ubuntu computer as a wired router, one needs to have two Ethernet ports? [06:54] grendal_prime: keep in mind the cost of blanks + labor, ususally just mailing in dead ones for copies is better, as per blockbuster [06:54] qpoi_: i'd try to remote login to the machine, let the user connect the infected drive and hope, the sys wont get infected again. He could wipe the sys off again. [06:54] richard: yes, common setup [06:54] well ace the windows first...then mount the ntfs drive from an ubuntu/debian distro, use ntfs3g driver so its writeable, then use clam-antivirus to clean the files....WHAMMO DONE DEAL!! [06:55] qpoi_ one option is to resize the current C: drive about 6gb less and install wubi... then go into the package manager and install the live package (to make the wubi install like a livecd) and install ubuntu to the newly created freespace [06:55] Someone here has done this before right? [06:55] * TheSimkin waves goodbye [06:55] anyone know about pluggin a laptop via ISDN cable into a desktop computer to get internet on the desktop? [06:55] DasEi: is it hard to do? [06:55] if I've enabled automatic logins for my main default created during installation user account how can I get the keyring manager to stop asking me for a password to unlock the key for my WPA2 wifi network? I disabled password logins so I don't have to enter a password every time I reboot, so muuh for that. [06:55] richard: no, use server edition [06:56] DasEi: I want to share an Internet connection among computers such that none of the computers knows about the other's existence [06:56] <_tunafish> hey all. i downloaded a copmiz plugin using the "git clone" command and when i try doing "make && make install" nothing happens. there are 2 files and a folder. a src folder CMakeList.txt and throw.xml.in file anyone know howto install?? [06:56] Neros: what advantages would that offer over a standard wubi install? [06:56] qpoi_: http://antivirus.about.com/od/securitytips/ht/vista_autorun.htm [06:56] DasEi: I've got 180.44 now and it works well enough, I mostly wanted to upgrade for better performance, bugfixes, etc. [06:56] im trying to backup my .hidden config folders in my home directory (so i can reformat and repartition), and I have been having fits for hours tonight trying to make a copy of those files. ive tried it in the console, in recovery mode, as a different user, through the gui gksudo....can anyone help me copy my files? [06:56] qpoi_ that would result in a normal ubuntu installation that allows for normal accessing [06:57] DasEi: Seems like I'm the only one with this problem, unfortunately. [06:57] anyone know about pluggin a laptop via ISDN cable into a desktop computer to get internet on the desktop? [06:57] but if there are two drives... install wubi. shutdown add in the infected drive then boot into ubuntu. scan the infected drive and you're donw [06:57] Neros: ah yes, of course, but just by being linux (without wine), it will be immune to whatever garbage that drive has on it [06:57] innomen. ya i dont know that i can mail these in. Besides i much like the lightscribe look to the disks..otherwise we have to perm-marker our name onto the disks..sometimes its not easy to do. [06:57] Has anyone out there had problems upgrading to the 185 or 190 series NVIDIA proprietary drivers? [06:58] This is such a frequent problem on 9.04 Dell Vostro that sometimes I feel like giving up: "Your session only lasted less than 10 seconds.  If you have not logged out yourself, this could mean that there is some installation problem or that you may be out of diskspace.  Try logging in with one of the failsafe sessions to see if you can fix this problem". A pop-up window comes up with this message and when clicked "ok" or "closed" it just restarts the OS an [06:58] Kebert: err, did I give you the right path >> /var/log/Xorg.0.log ? [06:58] qpoi_ most likely yes. it would be an oddity indeed for a windows virus to be carrying a linux rootkit as well... and stranger still yet for that rootkit to infect you [06:58] sol93: appreciate that link, i did the registry fix as well as the WU patch, but given the risk involved i'll play it safe [06:58] DasEi: that's a different path. Let me check it out. [06:59] we usually get about 2 copies of movies unless they are huge blockbuster movies..."gran torino " we have 10 of...if it takes us an hour for each title. (we would make an iso of one of them and just burn 10 copys of it and stuff the originals into a softbag for long term(untill selling time) storage) [06:59] qpoi_: alright... i know your pain. I hope, you will survive it without permanent brain damage. [06:59] is there a way to really shape a gnome menu the way i want, both menus provided by ubuntu are horribly bloated [06:59] Neros: yes, if it had a linux rootkit, it would still have to be executed -- and even then, it would be isolated to that environment [06:59] cattellar: right click the menu and edit them [07:00] qpoi_ exactly [07:00] richard: you would need a switch at one of the router's nic, then have to configure the machines not to have same domain and some more stuff, like make them irresponsible to ping and stuff [07:00] sol93, i know, but there are things i cant erase from it [07:00] cattellar: specifically? [07:00] grendal_prime, sounds good to me man, i dont think anyone will care, the big thing these days is streaming [07:00] DasEi: irresponsive you mean [07:00] sol93: i can handle situations like this with ease when i've got physical access to a machine, but when you're dealing with an already frustrated non-technical end-user from several states over, there's just no room for mistakes [07:00] about gnome .... connect to server ...about ubuntu ...network ...search for files .... etc [07:00] sol93: esp. when said person has no transportation [07:00] sol93, [07:00] qpoi_: as i said, i know this kind of situation. Good hunting! [07:01] qpoi_: god aint that the truth, i quit the tech support business over just that type of thing. [07:01] hi can somone help me or send me in the right direction [07:01] DasEi: So I can configure the router not to route packets from one of the daughter computers to one of the others easily enough? [07:01] richard: yes, but this has to be done not on the router but on the single machines, they can otherwise see each other through the switch [07:01] what is a better video driver for mplayer , xv or gl2 ? Also, how come it doesn't list my ati video driver that i isntalled? [07:01] i want some sort of mintMenu, but without the horridness and bloatness [07:01] innomen the other thing is..(and this is a bit grey area of course,) is that i could see us buying 5 copies of something and it turning out to be that we need 10...ok we run off 10 for the night and pick up 5 more in the morning.) If i was to get audited that morning i would be screwed..but i just cant see anyone being that anal about that sort of stuff. [07:01] Is it possible to run both ventrilo, and teamspeak out of the same usb headset? [07:02] DasEi: I'm looking through the file now. I recall the error said something about "freetype" and "glx" modules not found, if that helps. [07:02] My Ubuntu installation runs wonderfully but the moment I open Nicotine and it is open for a few minutes the computer freezes. Mouse clicks die, and the keyboard becomes totally unresponsive. any ideas? [07:02] DasEi: Yeah, well I don't want them seeing each other through the switch. Is the only way I can handle this to put each of them on its own NIC? [07:02] sol93, Neros, DasEi: appreciate the time and effort, will go ahead and do the wubi route [07:02] hi,any know how can i use a script to auto install mysql-server [07:02] DasEi: Or buy a switch that has the ability to forbid packets from going from one machine to another [07:02] i dont wanna set root pwd by manual [07:02] innomen: ahah, yes, it's a tricky task indeed [07:03] grendal_prime, that would be illegal definitely, you could argue it like anything else but i think you'd ahve to pay someone [07:03] qpoi_: good effort, but online is more complete then clamav [07:03] cattellar: i dont know mint menu. what do you want to remove? [07:03] grendal_prime, better off just telling them to come back later [07:03] sol93, about gnome .... connect to server ...about ubuntu ...network ...search for files .... etc [07:03] richardcavell: sure , if you can afford a managed switch [07:03] hi,all busy now? [07:03] DasEi: i'm flat out nuking any executable code that I find [07:03] innomen: ya i agree. its just i can see that sort of thing happening. [07:03] DasEi: so it shouldn't even be necessary to scan [07:03] grendal_prime, well, then buy 10 up front :) [07:03] DasEi: at least any code or autorun files in the root of the drive [07:03] cattellar: so you basically want to kill everything except the normal stuff, you could edit anyways? [07:04] is it possible to run both ventrilo and teamspeak, and have their outputs and inputs directed to the same usb headset [07:04] DasEi: so a normal switch won't do such a thing? [07:04] anyone know what is a better driver xv or gl2 and how come mplayer does not list ati as a driver? [07:04] it would be a deterant for people to not do that...you now see how this goes..wooo shit...beter than i thought stock up. . [07:04] any know how can i auto install mysql-server ,skip root pwd setting by manual [07:04] alright well like i say im going to talk to vdp in the morning about it...ill let you know what they say. [07:04] grendal_prime, yea [07:04] richardcavell: no, that connects evrything to everywhere [07:04] hey guys is this a fully formed command? find ~/Music -name '*.mp3' -exec mv {} ~/Desktop/folder \; [07:05] sol93, i want to remove things that i dont want [07:05] sol93, it really annoys me to have all that bloat [07:05] cattellar: i am not a mind reader [07:05] can i do that witht he search gui in some way like i could in windows? [07:05] sol93, basically yes what you said [07:05] or A search gui, i dont mind downloading something new [07:05] cattellar: i am on it [07:06] sol93, what do you mean? [07:06] DasEi: I want to get a cable modem that will be extremely fast and reliable and I want to connect a whole bunch of computers through it [07:06] DasEi: I want each of them to think that it's the only computer getting any bandwidth [07:06] my mom said there is problem's in her desktop and as i see it, the home folder icon in desktop showed only desktop and examples as folders when there was other contents.. and when i open it in file browser, it is was like a loop between the user-home folder and desktop, if you click on home folder it shows desktop and examples as content. if you click on desktop, again only home folder appears and that loop goes on.. i deleted that icon on desktop and a [07:06] cattellar: i am looking for a way to remove those additional entries. Currently I am looking in gconf-editor [07:06] richardcavell: if there are not too many machines, single nics will be much cheaper, else I don't know for sure if there are still hubs out that only forward to an uplink (to the router) [07:06] sol93, awesome, thanks for helping me [07:07] Has anyone had any issues with Jaunty, experiencing unusually high CPU usage out of Xorg, and system monitor is pretty vague and borderline non-helpful about what process it is... [07:07] innomen: looks good to me [07:07] DasEi: Can the average motherboard cope with multiple NICs? Can Ubuntu cope with it with no issue? [07:07] richardcavell: sure, depends on your slots, and usb is also possible [07:08] slart: cool, thanks, do you see what is being done there? "look in this directory find every mp3 under here, now move them here" can that be done with a gui? like "show me every .txt file under this folder" [07:08] DasEi: you mean usb to ethernet adapter? [07:09] innomen: sure.. you could replace "mv {} ~/Desktop/folder" with "gedit {}" and it would open a text editor window for each file [07:09] richardcavell: yes, case of slots up; multi-jack nics are also for richies mostly [07:09] richardcavell: you could pick up a WRT54GL, throw Tomato on it and enable AP Isolation. Connect them wirelessly, and no machine will be able to talk to the other. [07:09] SHORT VERSION: a symlink kinda thing as desktop icon for home folder and which makes it an infinite loop of path between desktop and home folder.. can that be a sign of any kind of malicious activity? [07:10] DasEi: I didn't understand that [07:10] Kebert: I didn't understand that either. [07:10] richardcavell: for just that routing thing, a PIII500 will do fine, or even smaller [07:10] DasEi: yeah, if I set up a computer with Ubuntu server as a router it won't even have a GUI [07:10] slart: ok, heh, i dont want to open every file in a seperate window, i dont even want to open the files, i'm just curious if there is any app that will shopw me every given file in a directory no matter how far they are nested [07:11] hi, I'm trying to update chromium but in update manager its gray and uncheckable, what should I do [07:11] richardcavell: slots up = no more space for additonal nics; multi-socket nics are also available in server market [07:11] like the graphical equivilant of "dir /s *.mp3" [07:11] hei [07:11] ULTRA SHORT VERSION:I know viruses are not there on gnu but should we care about possibly unknown symlinks? [07:11] anybody in the house [07:11] richardcavell: AP Isolation will put the router into a mode so that each machine can connect wirelessly and will be able to surf the net. Communication from machine to machine will not be permitted. Easy to set up also. But, you'd have to go the wireless route. [07:11] sol93, look at this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=350790 [07:11] richardcavell: not sure if that fits your situation. [07:12] innomen: oh.. you mean like that.. no, I don't think there is such an app.. you can do searches that way with "grep" though.. but nothing that shows you every text file.. at least not with a gui [07:12] Hey, Im currently reading about internet security and I would like to try out the things I read about ssh and tunneling your traffic. it would be neat, the problem is I want to find a server with a free shell account that can do that, does anyone have a link to provide? (yes, I have googled) [07:12] does anyone know how to test what file system an unmounted drive has? /dev/sda1 for example? [07:12] hmm...apparently it did recognize my adapter out of the box [07:12] unknown as in i don't know whether those symlink was user generated or product of a malicious program! [07:12] Kebert: not really [07:12] slart: alright thats what i thought just wanted a second opinion, thanks man :) [07:12] innomen: you're welcome [07:12] am i not making sense?? [07:12] cattellar: yea, there are many .desktop files in /usr/share/applications - you probably have to simply delete the approriate ones [07:12] BrendenX: sudo fdisk -l [07:12] Kebert: I'm going to use a cable modem. 1 megabyte / second is about the benchmark. I don't want to put all of that over wireless. Stability is a major issue. [07:13] thanks, DasEi [07:13] richardcavell: not sure, never tried setting it up like that, sorry. [07:13] i woulld like to learn how to program a website any help guys? [07:14] DasEi: Kebert okay guys, thanks for some ideas. [07:14] richardcavell: hmm, apart from bandwith a nice solution [07:14] welcome danske [07:15] cattellar: looks like i will need a little time... if youre willing to wait, i will boot up the other machine and play around, until i found it. [07:15] sol93, oh it's working now [07:15] sol93, i deleted the files and they no longer appear :) [07:15] cattellar: what did you do? [07:15] just like that [07:15] phill_: w3schools< google, see also : [07:15] !html [07:15] html is HyperText Markup Language, used to build web pages.

[07:16] find ~/Audio/Music -name '*.mp3' -exec mv {} ~/Audio/Music \; will that make my machine blow up? [07:16] obuttu does it take long to understand the codes [07:16] cattellar: yes. if you find out, which files they are, i would like to know, what i have to delete to clean up everything, except for the normal applications/preferences/admin entries [07:16] !brain | phill_ [07:16] phill_: Hi!

[07:17] thanks buddy [07:17] i don't understand, ati allows me to install a FGLRX driver, but mplayer does not detect it or it does not support it? how is xv or gl going to be a better driver than what ati provides? [07:17] sol93, do you still want places? [07:17] innomen i dont know i'm stealing and adapting. [07:17] innomen: kinda a bit long when you can just do mv *mp3 /new/spot [07:17] is xv better driver than gl? [07:18] innomen: sorry *.mp3 [07:18] cattellar: how did you reload the menu for reflecting the changes? i want to be able to remove everything, if possible [07:18] gogeta, not if its nested [07:18] innomen: Also the last backslash doesn't make sense [07:18] i'm pulling files out of tons of random directories [07:18] innomen: I'm not an expert but I wouldn't try that command [07:18] let me try and c if i will understand a thing from it [07:18] sol93, it reloaded by itself === _414c485649 is now known as alhvi [07:19] innomen: if you wanna move every mp3 on your drive just do that in the root dir [07:19] richardcavell, dammit see thats why i wanted a gui :P i want to SEE what is happening [07:19] innomen: dont suggest it [07:19] innomen: being some might be system files [07:19] gogeta, not in my whole drive, just all the ones in audio/music [07:19] innomen: Just type cd / then locate *.mp3 and cd into each directory and mv *.mp3 /new/folder [07:19] is xv the best driver for mplayer or vlc? [07:20] richardcavell, lmao [07:20] no [07:20] innomen: then cd into that dir mv *.mp3 [07:20] is it possible to run both ventrilo and teamspeak, and have their outputs and inputs directed to the same usb headset [07:20] it should move everything even sub folders [07:20] i dont want sub folders i want whats IN the subfolders moved to a single directory [07:20] innomen: i mean all the mp3 files [07:21] innomen: go with a mixture from locate and cp -r then, delete afterwards, safer [07:21] any suggestions for a good graphic programing editor that is not an IDE [07:21] DasEi: trye [07:21] true [07:21] innomen: cp -r *.mp3 [07:21] dasei: i have no way of verifiying that everything copied, i'd have to search the billion directories, which brings me back where i am now [07:22] then delete em after [07:22] why cant sopmeone just write a functional file search utility ? *sigh* [07:22] -r makes it do into every dir [07:22] gogeta, whats -r mean? [07:22] all [07:22] recursive [07:22] like dir /s [07:22] innomen: change to your root dir .. [07:22] innomen: sudo updatedb [07:22] innomen: try find -exec ;) [07:23] ActionParsnip, your smily makes me scareded :) [07:23] cp r ill copy everything from your even stuff inside other folders folder [07:23] innomen: its extremely powerful [07:23] gogeta, cool [07:23] DasEi, whats updatedb? [07:24] innomen: db= database [07:24] Neros: one more question about wubi if you might happen to know -- the installer offers varied installation sizes. is the virtual drive expandable up to that amount, or is it a static preformatted amount? [07:24] DasEi, why would that help me? [07:24] innomen: pre-face for locate, to be sure [07:24] locate? [07:24] ati has a company/proprietary driver for Xwin/x11, but mplayer does not support it? why not? apparently it supports xv driver, that is the best driver it got? if that is so, then could it be just as good/fast as the proprietary driver? [07:24] innomen: just cd into the folder with all the mp3s and mp3s in other folders and use cp -r [07:24] innomen:done ? [07:24] done [07:25] done [07:25] everything will copy inside your new folder [07:25] is it possible to run both ventrilo and teamspeak, and have their outputs and inputs directed to the same usb headset [07:25] Hello. What package has Python wx bindings? [07:25] gogeta, what if it find files of same name? [07:25] will it rename or overwrite? [07:25] innomen: it will ask you if you wanna skip or overright [07:26] <_tunafish> hello. im getting an error when trying to install a plugin in jaunty for compiz using cmake. i ran "cmake CMakeLists.txt" and got an out put of: Adjust CMAKE_MODULE_PATH to find FindCompiz.cmake.... any ideas? [07:26] ahhh good [07:26] spO: best is an opinion and therefore not concrete [07:26] er, it seems that neros is no longer here. would anyone else know an answer to that? wubi uses static or expandable virtual drives? [07:26] so then this thread is fully of people making a big deal of nothing [07:26] http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1045759.html [07:26] innomen: locate *.mp3 [07:27] innomen: do you already have a folder to copy to ? [07:27] Anyone know? [07:27] DasEi, now but i can make one easy, i was kind of hoping to simply move them to the root music directoruy === yo is now known as cattellar [07:27] innomen: use -i option in cp to be asked [07:28] like audio/music/subdir/subdir/*.mp3 to audio/music/*.mp3 [07:28] innomen: bad idea, give it a folder [07:28] qpoi_: the static gives a fixed size like your physical drive/s. the expandable one will report a size t othe OS bt only be as big as the data you need for wubi [07:28] how do i clear alib sound buffer from programs that quit before the buffers were deleted? [07:28] ActionParsnip: yes--i'm familiar with that behavior in virtualbox and such, but wubi does not specify which it uses [07:28] ActionParsnip: would you happen to know? === apc_ is now known as apc [07:28] gah this is hopeless, this is really a barrier for new adopters [07:29] what good is the search button in gnome? [07:29] qpoi_: no idea. i detest wubi [07:29] innomen: sadly, this is not paid support. [07:29] why even have it if its not even as powerful as Dir [07:29] innomen: cp -r *.mp3 /new/folder [07:29] innomen: would be good to raise that issue on ubuntu brainstorm or something [07:29] sol93, almost done [07:29] MindVirus, did i say it was? [07:29] innomen: I was not giving you attitude. [07:30] qpoi_: why all linux can do it [07:30] innomen: mkdir ~/found; find -name "*.mp3" -exec cp {} ~/found \; [07:30] gogeta: what? [07:30] qpoi_: with that command right there [07:30] qpoi_, yea, i plan too, but before i do that i want to make sure i'm not missing something well known [07:30] nah,innomen, there is more powerfull ls, else to give you a pipe without clearance could mess up, too [07:30] innomen: just sayin', it's hard to get attention around here. I know very well. === kaz_ is now known as Kazriko [07:30] gogeta: i mean his idea that gnome search hinders new ubuntu users [07:30] innomen: If you'd like more attention, try the forums. [07:30] I can ssh into my computer and run a program, but whenever I close the terminal (gnome-terminal) that the program was run from, the program closes. Is there a way to run a program without needing its terminal open? [07:30] innomen: will search from the pwd recursively finding mp3s and copy the file to the folder ~/found [07:30] MindVirus, people are helping me plenty i think its the lack of options in the ware itself that is the issue [07:30] i don't really understand how to get the drivers i need to install on ubuntu 8.10 - AMD Radeon HD 3200 graphics , can someone explain or tell me what to do please? [07:30] gogeta: unrelated to the command [07:30] qpoi_: locate is your frend [07:31] innomen: I see; I didn't see the context, then. [07:31] ActionParsnip, There we go! [07:31] ActionParsnip, hugs [07:31] MindVirus, go play with the "Search" button [07:31] innomen: like i said earlier(?) [07:31] ActionParsnip: i option in cp to provide overwrite of doubles ? [07:31] innomen: I rarely search because I am very organized. [07:31] i sware its like a steeringwheel on a fridge [07:31] s/rarely/never/ [07:31] innomen: duplicated file names will overwrite with the latest found [07:31] ActionParsnip, cool [07:32] innomen: where is the search button? [07:32] thanks everyone, i'm going to go melt my msuic collection now :) [07:32] innomen: you should have researched on what I said when my simley made you uneasy [07:32] Ahh, "Search for files..." [07:32] ActionParsnip, bah, i'm allowed ot be a chicken :) [07:32] My Ubuntu wants to combine the tilde with the character I type after, how can I make the tilde key ("~") act as a normal, non-combining key? [07:33] heh, no more different versions of wagners9th ;-) [07:33] innomen: if you want. but you'll get more done if you find stuff out or look into stuff when it is suggested [07:33] sol93: afaik that's the way the tilde key works.. how else are you going to write ñ,ã or ĩ for example [07:33] innomen: lol no cp is safe being the orignal files dont get erased [07:33] innomen: ooh! This seems nifty; I think I'll start using it. [07:33] innomen: find -replace is one of the most powerful commands in linux imho [07:33] What's wrong with it? [07:33] sol93: it might be different in some other localization though.. [07:33] Slart: i have seen computers (or programs), where the tilde always appears. I never enter stuff like ñ [07:34] innomen: if something does go wrong [07:35] MindVirus, try to use it to find say every txt file on your system [07:35] MindVirus, just to like show them in a list [07:35] sol93, i think it's not possible to remove recent documents, but it's possible to at least disable it [07:35] MindVirus, i cant get it to show me anything [07:35] Slart: i cant even type [~][/] to access my home, its always [~][space][/] and thats unneccecary and annoying... didnt find out how to change that via google so far [07:35] cattellar: i'll look again in gcong [07:35] innomen: in Linux, text files are no different than other files. [07:35] cattellar: i'll look again in gconf-edit [07:35] sol93: or cd / [07:35] lol [07:36] MindVirus, ok, any file of a given extension then [07:36] mp3 for insatnce :) [07:36] i don't really understand how to get the drivers i need to install on ubuntu 8.10 - AMD Radeon HD 3200 graphics , can someone explain or tell me what to do please? [07:36] sol93: well.. good luck in your search.. check in system, preferences, keyboard too.. there might be a setting hidden somewhere [07:36] i got search put in mp3 i get nothing despite seeing an mp3 in the very directory i'm starting in [07:36] chalcedony: -1 for not looking in admin and hardware [07:36] Slart: gogeta: i am hunting down a problem with synergy (virtual kvm switch), when i hit tilde from the WinXP master, only a space appears. And I found the extra key always annoying, so i want to find out how to make it a normal key [07:36] i try *.mp3 nothing [07:36] i found them on a url. downloaded but it says i need an application to install them .. it's not finding anything i can use [07:36] chalcedony: it isn't listed in hardwaredrivers ? [07:36] im using the livecd to repartition my drive but everytime gparted reads it the stupid drive gets mounted. that gave me problems already when it got mounted in the middle of being repartition [07:37] what command is "search" useing? [07:37] how do i disable that automount? [07:37] Slart: i'll do, thanks [07:37] its not really automount, more like, mount on demand [07:37] sol93: i think you look in admin keybord and you can change the mapping [07:37] locate? [07:37] innomen: try ".mp3". [07:37] MindVirus: *.mp3 [07:37] sol93: not sure if xmodmap could work.. but have a look at it.. [07:38] MindVirus, omg i'm a mental defective [07:38] gogeta: what? [07:38] that did it [07:38] innomen: :0 [07:38] Slart: i can test that... [07:38] *:) [07:38] innomen: glad I could help. :D [07:38] Hilikus: gparted won't start partitoning a drive when it's mounted;; have no window or dir on the drive open [07:38] lmao [07:38] < -1 [07:38] innomen: apparently it doesn't support regex of any kind. [07:38] DasEi, umm i guess i don't know where hardware drivers is either [07:39] redex? [07:39] regex.. [07:39] DasEi: i unmount the drive but as soon as i hit refresh in gparted (or upon start of gparted) the drive gets automounted [07:39] im lonely [07:39] thats what i need to disable [07:39] innomen: regex -- regular expressions. A very powerful method to search through data. [07:39] myself: me 2, you get used ot it [07:39] Hilikus: edit /etc/fstab and make sure it isnt present in there [07:39] chalcedony: looks in the gnome menus in system>admin and hardware [07:39] hi all, i am having very frustrating issue with simple ssh key authentication. it just won't work, followed the procedure to the T yet still asks for password. did an ssh -v and tail -f /var/log/{syslog,auth.log} while logging in. output of that is here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/248453/ [07:39] MindVirus, ahhh [07:39] chalcedony: system > preferences > hardwaredrivers [07:40] like ???.mp3 find 123.mp3 124.mp3 [07:40] Hilikus: you will be editing the fstab of the livecd so a reboot will loose all changes [07:40] ActionParsnip: it is not, this is in a livecd [07:40] ok [07:40] innomen: kinda, but WAY more powerful. [07:40] Anyone has a clue to a document explaining the purpose of and how to build from source /lib/modules/2.6.24-*/ubuntu? [07:40] Hilikus: the live cd still has an fstab file, silly [07:40] MindVirus, i used regular expression for text replace in notepad ++ in windows [07:40] ActionParsnip: the only thing in fstab is unionfs, tmpfs and swap [07:40] innomen: You can match many patterns, you can have conditionals, etc. Only thing is, the syntax is very terse and disgusting. [07:40] Hilikus: is the swap on the internal drive? [07:41] ActionParsnip: yes [07:41] lol just killed my tilde key totally [07:41] MindVirus, yea, i wrote batch files to translate medicare eobs into human readable english [07:41] it was... complicated [07:41] sol93: -10 [07:41] innomen: :) [07:41] but previously it did it with an NTFS drive so it's not even because it needs it, its just that i thinks i'm trying to access it without it being mounted so it mounts it [07:42] Hilikus: then you could create a swap partition i ram an change the fstab to use that [07:42] Hilikus: ntfs partition you mean :D [07:42] yes [07:43] Hilikus: how much ram does the sys have ? [07:43] MindVirus, i just accomplished my goal [07:43] innomen: great! [07:43] innomen: good lad [07:43] innomen: lol [07:43] Thansk everyone for helping me i do appreciate it [07:43] innomen: see how powerful cli is now :) [07:43] hehe [07:43] bah! nm, gparted (at least the version i have, whcih is from feisty) can't resize a partition to the left. i have a bunch of unallocated space at the beginning of my disk [07:43] and just think i didnt have to learn anything about command line ! [07:43] hehe [07:44] what [07:44] ActionParsnip: lol no, search did it with .mp3 instead of *.mp3 [07:44] innomen: lol [07:44] i just moved over 2000 files just by right clicking copy [07:44] errr cut [07:44] innomen: * is a command line thing [07:44] ActionParsnip: I see you around here a lot. Are you a dev? [07:44] innomen: fyi, that will NOT find *.MP3 [07:45] psypher246: I don't recognise the .ecryptfs/wrapped-passphrase stuff, which the server is clearly having a problem with. Whose procedure are you following? [07:45] MindVirus: no just a long time user [07:45] hi all [07:45] Roger. [07:45] ActionParsnip, i dont understand, it sure looks like it did [07:45] ActionParsnip: paa cp could done it [07:45] baa [07:45] i think i have a bug or its really something stupid i did, but i have an error now as i drag places->home folder to desktop saying..Error stating file '/home/nirmala/.local/share/Trash/files/nirmala/Desktop/nirmala/Desktop/nirmala/ and goes on that loop.. http://pastebin.ca/1520174 that has the whole directory path explained. pls help.. [07:45] i now have a folder with all my mp3s and no directories whcih is exactly what i wanted [07:45] Hilikus: if the internal contains a swap, it'll be automounted at bootup, if you got enough ram to run live, simply comment it; Feisty might be bad without ntfs-progs, use gparted live cd [07:45] innomen: no music.mp3 and music.MP3 are 2 different files [07:45] i don't see hardwaredrivers .. it should be between Encryption and Keyboard , no? [07:46] losher: rsa-keygen on server copy id_rsa.pub to client cat id_rsa.pub >> authorized_keys2 as well as authorized_keys [07:46] guys, i have issues with ELO touchscreen in ubuntu 8.10... the responses are reversed... how to deal with that? [07:46] System > Preferences .. [07:46] innomen: that's right, Linux has case-sensitive file names. [07:46] DasEi: feisty upgrade man [07:46] DasEi: no,this is now with an ext3 partition, i did it early with ntfs and the drive got mounted in the middle of the process [07:46] ActionParsnip, oh wow, thanks [07:46] thats important [07:46] innomen: very [07:46] ActionParsnip, can i tell it to not do that? [07:46] that is just draggig home folder icon out of places menu to desktop is showing a nasty error!!!!!! [07:47] anyone some idea about ELO? [07:47] psypher246: you have client & server backwards above. You keygen on the client & copy its .pub to authorized keys on the server. Was that a typo? [07:47] innomen: i'm sure there will be a switch on find you can add to ignore uppercase, or you can simply lowercase all the file extensions for mp3s first [07:47] DasEi: but i wanted to extend an ext3 partition, but at least this version doesnt extend to previous cylinders [07:47] ActionParsnip, dude i just tried it, mP3 mp3 and MP# found all the same files [07:47] I have a noob question but I am trying to change the permisions on a folder the root has control over it right now I want to add a difrent group to have right and read permisions but still leave the root with all the permisions it has [07:48] err MP3 [07:48] someone153: root always has permission [07:48] i think maybe it uses that switch by default assuming only newbs like me will use the search button? [07:48] you don't need to worry about that [07:49] Anyone has a clue to a document explaining the purpose of and how to build from source /lib/modules/2.6.24-*/ubuntu? === yacc_ is now known as yacc [07:49] Can I upgrade ubuntu 8.04 to 9.06 automatically? [07:49] someone153: you can change the group owner to something else, just make sure root is in that group (makes life easier) [07:49] !upgrade > Evet [07:49] Evet, please see my private message [07:49] ty ActionParsnip [07:49] running picard on 2100 mp3 files heheh lets see if it breaks [07:49] Slart: i found a post, they seem to have found the solution "nodeadkeys" - do you understand, what they mean? [07:49] losher: no it wasn't, i thought that might be it and i tried both ways, neither server nor client can ssh into each other [07:50] Evet: there is no 9.06.. and no, you need too follow the path of upgrades too 8.04>8.10>9.04 [07:50] Evet: no you would need to go from 8.04 to 8,10 to 9.04 [07:50] Evet: you mean 8.04 to 9.04, the answer is no, and there's no point anyway, as 9.04 adds little except instability, in my opinion... [07:50] lol [07:50] sol93: yes.. a dead key is a key that doesn't immediately give you a "character".. for example shift, ~, ` and so on.. not really sure where you'd configure that though [07:50] Slart: dpkg-reconfigure [07:51] sol93: ah... well.. give it a try [07:51] this is cool! its working, i knew putting them all in a single directory would help [07:51] Slart: what i find strange, is that i do NOT want dead keys, so how could activating it help? confused ... aha... the asterisk is dead also [07:51] * innomen does a little dance [07:52] psypher246: do you have console access to the server? If so, you can run sshd -d to get additional debugging info from the server... [07:52] losher: nope just tried again, does ot work [07:52] sol93: activating "nodeadkeys" sounds like it would be the same as disabling dead keys.. or? [07:52] losher: ok lemme try [07:52] Slart: oops... alright... :-) [07:52] losher, what kind of instability? new softwares makes my 8.0x instable too [07:52] i have been waiting for about half an hour here hoping some one would take up my query.. am not complaining.. am just sad.. am i not making sense? [07:52] * gogeta crys [07:52] * Guest38006 joins.. [07:53] :'( mummy.... [07:53] Guest38006, i'd help if i could man :/ [07:53] hi [07:53] Guest38006: try later, different users on the channel [07:53] is anyone there [07:53] Guest38006, but i can barely work the file explorer as we have just seen [07:53] Guest38006: what was your question? [07:54] Guest38006, yea, shift change, the day people are worthless for me [07:54] no offence day people === chalcedony is now known as chal`away === chalcedny is now known as chalcedony [07:54] <_tunafish> can someone help me with find_compiz_install and with cmake for installing a compiz plugin [07:54] ..*whispers* but you suck... [07:54] Slart: thanks.. the problem i have is a wierd one.. i just can't copy places->home folder to desktop [07:54] Guest38006: your pastebin didn't show me anything related [07:54] <_tunafish> im just dead lost [07:54] Evet: 9.04 is notorious for sound problems, flash problems, difficulties with ext4, other stuff I forget. And it adds so little... [07:54] * gogeta tosses innomen back to windows [07:54] DasEi: what should i look for? [07:54] gogeta noooo! [07:54] brb [07:55] * innomen claws deep [07:55] Guest38006: well.. that would make sense.. the Desktop is *part* of your home folder [07:55] DasEi: thats wht i could go look for as a try towards solving the problem showing that i can't find a symlink anywhere.. [07:55] gogeta, there is only one thing from windows i miss [07:55] man somehow my IDE and editors are showing "?" marked symbols instead of unicode characters... what's wrong with my jaunty ? [07:55] gogeta, autohotkey [07:55] Guest38006: try: ln -s /home/$USER ~/Desktop/Home [07:55] losher: I only have flash issues.. my sound was broken in 8.10, fixed by 9.04, and I don't trust EXT4 [07:55] Guest38006: why do you want to copy it to your desktop anyways? [07:55] Guest38006: erm, was that the trash thing or the icon-to the left one with you ? [07:56] gartral: installing the flash deb from adobe fixes those issues [07:56] ActionParsnip: i was doubting whether this symlink creation i did before and consequently my mom moving the home folder to trash(!!!) created this wierd problem:) [07:56] gartral: +1 to ext4 distrust for me too [07:56] gartral: -2 for not thinking of that [07:56] <_tunafish> same question lol. can someone help me with find_compiz_install and with cmake for installing a compiz plugin. using jaunty and latest compiz [07:56] unicode characters anyone ? [07:57] _tunafish: i'd ask in #compiz, it will be more specific [07:57] hehe [07:57] +/-# means agree or disagree [07:57] lol [07:57] i learned something [07:57] gogeta: iv'e tryed Adobe's flash player, Iv'e tryed GNash, Iv'e tryed swfdec, NONE work.. then again, im on a 1.7 ghz celeron with 100 mhz FSB and 128 kb L2 cache.. so [07:57] innomen: thats from slashdot [07:58] <_tunafish> ActionParsnip: true.. [07:58] losher: i see an error that says auth refused: bad ownership or modes for directory /home/user [07:58] gartral: faster than my fastest CPU [07:58] Slart: well before it was like my desktop had a folder of the name of the home folder, possibly a symlink i created much long ago that i don't remember exactly.. now as i deleted that one it went to trash [07:58] gogeta, i goto slash dot on occasion btu only because of stumbleupon [07:58] i thought i had the right perms [07:58] innomen: + for being usefull - for being follish [07:58] * innomen nods [07:58] DasEi: i didn't get.. icon on left? [07:58] psypher246: that's an important clue. So what *are* the permissions on /home/user for your user? [07:58] so like +gogeta for telling me about slashdot [07:58] Slart: just for your info, dpkg and nodeadkeys seemed to have no effect at all... [07:59] or something [07:59] lol [07:59] Guest38006: so basically you want an icon on your desktop that opens your home folder? [07:59] Slart: sure. [07:59] gogeta, i was taught that to learn something it helps to use it in a sentence :) [07:59] sol93: hmm.. and it sounded so promising [07:59] I cant enter the tilde key on another pc, when i use the virtual kvm "synergy" - any ideas what to do? cant find it on google [07:59] Guest38006: got you now, I mixed up with another post; open trash and restore doesn't work ? [07:59] Slart: yes... i would have loved it [07:59] losher: never changed anyhting on home just .ssh. brand new install. according to guys on the site and other sites .ssh moust be 700 and file sinside must be 600 [08:00] DasEi: open trash and moving file back does [08:00] Guest38006: ok, open a terminal.. run "gconf-editor", click your way to apps, nautilus, desktop, check the different settings.. there should be one that shows your home folder on the desktop.. [08:00] gartral: try downloading the tar.gz from http://www.adobe.com and put the .so file in ~/.mozilla/plugins [08:00] gartral: i'm guessing you use firefox like everybody else does [08:00] gogeta: it's for guest3800.. [08:00] gartral: or download there deb [08:00] ActionParsnip, do you have projectm on your machine? [08:00] Slart: well i was reading this http://www.mail-archive.com/desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com/msg214476.html same thing which you just said and have the same problem!!!! [08:00] ActionParsnip: there deb is newer then the repos on older ubuntu [08:00] Guest38006: it's called "home_icon_visible" [08:00] innomen: no, all systems are 100% and smoooth [08:01] is there like a trash folder for ubuntu? [08:01] psypher246: apparently your sshd doesn't agree. For what it's worth, my home dir is drwxr-xr-x and my .ssh is drwx------. How's yours? [08:01] and where is it? [08:01] dumont: yes [08:01] gogeta: i never use that, i just use the tar file, easier [08:01] gogeta ActionParsnip ive done both, with the same result, no flash runs at motre than 1 fps.. and youtube vids CRASH all my browsers [08:01] WHen I enter the unicode of a pipe char, the console doesnt recognize it, it belives it would be something different. is there a way to make ALT with ASCII work in Ubuntu, like it does in windows? [08:01] !trash > dumont [08:01] dumont, please see my private message [08:01] gartral: turning off compiz might help alot [08:01] ActionParsnip, what? i think we've crossed wires, projectm is a visualisation thing, dont see what that has to do with your answer [08:01] hi. i set some custom keys with xmodmap and after some time those settings are being reset to default again so i have to use xmodmap again. what can cause this keyboard layout reset? [08:01] losher: home drwxrwxrwx ssh drwx------ [08:01] no pm yet [08:02] !trash > D2N [08:02] D2N, please see my private message [08:02] gogeta: no.. i dont run gnome, i run e16 [08:02] innomen: i've not mention projectm yet [08:02] !trash [08:02] The location of Trash has changed since 8.04, it is now located in ~/.local/share/Trash | Looking for the trash in previous versions: ~/.Trash [08:02] !trash > dumont [08:02] dumont, please see my private message [08:02] :/ * Error creating window [08:02] psypher246: anybody can write in your home dir. That will make ssh object. Remove group & other write perms... [08:02] gartral: flash can be dirt slow on old machines [08:02] any ideas? [08:02] ActionParsnip, i ask because you were talking about tar.gz files and thats the steps where i failed trying to setup projectm, sorry to interrupt :/ :) [08:03] gogeta: flash 9 ran WONDERFULLY 10 is crap >.< [08:03] gartral: but my old c610 1 gigherts 1gb ram 16meg ati can run flash [08:03] innomen: np bro. [08:03] gartral: i think the amount of ram matters [08:03] gogeta: you have 2x the ram this system does [08:03] gartral: probly why [08:03] ubottu: huh what? [08:03] Sorry, I don't know anything about huh what? [08:04] losher: work, why the hell does ubuntu do that anyway?? [08:04] gartral: make a fresh user, see if its bad for that user too [08:04] ubottu help [08:04] 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. :-) [08:04] down to 1900 files YAY! [08:04] all i had to do was seucre the home folder, this is a default install [08:04] ActionParsnip: already did, and yes [08:04] Guest38006: ok, do you have the gconf-editor open? [08:04] gartral: can always downgrade to 9 [08:04] psypher246: if I knew the answer to that... So is it working? [08:04] Slart: ok now this is the consolidated problem.. (it wasn't all about getting the home icon).. Now, i empty trash as it has that looping directory [08:04] losher: yup! [08:04] its hard not to ask to ask, feels rude [08:04] psypher246: one down. 10,0000 to go... [08:04] gogeta: where can i get it?!? Adobe doesn't distribute it anymore! [08:04] chalcedny === llhull is now known as chalcedny [08:05] gartral: flash 10 can be slow on some old machines [08:05] Slart: ok i have the home folder icon visible.. thats ok.. now problem with empting trash which has this infinite loop on path.. [08:05] Guest38006: but the home icon is there? [08:05] gartral: they do [08:05] losher: this is a pretty serious design issue [08:05] innomen: I know what you mean, but this *isn't* a social channel... [08:05] Guest38006: ok.. can you open the trash container? [08:05] losher, yea, i understand the prohibition perfectly, just saying out of context its counterintuitive :) [08:05] losher: i have seen other sites complain about this too, there is no reason for your home folder to be rw to everyone [08:05] psypher246: Since you're the only one with this particular issue, I think there was something odd about your install... [08:06] gogeta: whats the link.. im on the site,i can't find an "older versions" llink [08:06] question: i just deleted 5GB worth of data and ubuntu did not reallocate that space, why and how can I fix it? [08:06] losher: so what does it not install yr home with full rw to everyone? [08:06] losher: its liek a bar where you're supposed ot throw your drinks on the staff, takes some getting used to [08:06] gartral: i dont think there was debs for 9 but there ws rpms [08:07] gogeta: you can convert rpms to debs [08:07] hiall, a have truble with my ubuntu 6.06 when i make tar archive with russians file names and untar this on my windows xp i get noreadble file names [08:07] Guest38006: hang on.. I have to do a quick reboot.. brb [08:07] yep [08:07] maybe any can me help? [08:07] gogeta: i cant find ANY info relating too 9 on adobe.com! none! at all [08:07] gogeta, i did that like day before yesterday [08:07] question: i just deleted 5GB worth of data and ubuntu did not reallocate that space, why and how can I fix it? [08:07] psypher246: I don't think so, but I last installed so long ago & I keep /home across installs, so I can't actually remember. Maybe it's an install bug? Better log messages from sshd would help... [08:08] Hello ppl [08:09] BlackTiger, hiya [08:09] losher: cool thanks man. i will check it out [08:09] Horrors! I downloaded the drivers for AMD Radeon HD 3200 graphics.. in System > Administration > Hardware drivers .. and now the bottom of my screen is black and there is no bottom ubuntu bar? it's ubuntu Intrepid 8.10 [08:10] BlackTiger, Two tigers were sitting on a bench, one turns to the other and says, "should we eat one of these people by the fountain?" and the other one says "holy %$^ a talking tiger!" [08:10] b10s: maybe someone on #ubuntu-ru can help you? [08:10] hahaha [08:10] innomen: hah, good joke, but OT here [08:11] i am having trash directory at ~/.local/share/Trash is that normal? [08:11] question: i just deleted 5GB worth of data and ubuntu did not reallocate that space, why and how can I fix it? [08:11] i hate how my pc does work with ubuntu, need to try the alt cd =\ [08:11] gartral: sorry, i'm killing time till picard finishes, i'll lay off :) [08:11] dumont: if you used the gui, all it did was move stuff to the trash, so it's not really gone yet. Empty your trashcan? [08:12] gartral: adobe really doesn't care... [08:13] gogeta: ok, i found it, Google is helping, but where do i put what so all my browsers can use it, i have several browsers installed [08:13] gartral: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html [08:13] losher: which is funny, they dev on linux [08:13] gartral: but I bet they *test* on windows... [08:13] losher how do I empty the trash? :O [08:14] how can i reset the keymapping, i changed something with xmodmap and cant get it undone [08:14] ok, I'm back [08:14] deving on linux and then selling the product is just, wrong somehow [08:14] to me [08:14] dumont: I dunno, I don't use the gui. Isn't there a trash icon where you can select 'empty' or something? Anyone... [08:15] nope :/ [08:15] innomen: it's called marketing, and it follows the money... [08:15] had to use my ssh over into my server and rm -r Trash. [08:15] Slart: can you tell me, how to reload default settings? i messed my sys up with xmodmap [08:15] Trash/ [08:15] losher, oh i didnt say it was irrational, just seems unethical [08:15] dumont: that'll do it... [08:15] Guest38006: I believe this is the default, certainly my Jaunty installation has trash in this location [08:15] sol93: oh.. I have no idea.. I'm not even sure you can restore the settings in a simple way [08:15] innomen: way too off topic for this channel... [08:16] andrew_46: ok.. [08:16] losher: yea [08:16] Slart: alright... i'll reboot then, thanks & cu soon [08:16] Hi everyone. [08:16] down to 1600 [08:16] chugging along [08:16] I have a ~/.local/share/tracker/data/common.db some sqlite database? would it be a problem if i just rm -rf ~/.local/share/Trash/* ? [08:16] How do you deleate the trash in the terminal [08:16] Slart: ^? [08:17] syntax_: there is a trash-cli package you can install [08:17] thanks guys i'll go corss my fingers somewhere else :) may all of you find quick effective solutions :) [08:17] Slart: was that a joke? [08:17] mannnn it's taking 5+ minutes to empty the trash :O [08:17] I just wanted to know the command for it [08:17] Guest38006: ah, there you are.. so.. can you open the trash folder? [08:17] Got a quick question if no one minds. [08:17] losher: which one? [08:18] Slart: about there being a trash-cli package? [08:18] losher: or nevermind.. I haven't been joking since I got up this morning.. nope.. the trash cli package wasn't a joke [08:18] !info trash-cli [08:18] trash-cli (source: trash-cli): command line trashcan utility. In component universe, is extra. Version 0.10.r55-0ubuntu1 (jaunty), package size 14 kB, installed size 140 kB [08:19] I'm looking for documentation how to configure a static route in server? [08:19] Slart: sure i can but it won't delete if i say it to empty trash.. i was thinking whether i could just rm -rf ~/.local/share/Trash/* ? would it affect some other database that i see at ~/.local/share/tracker/data/common.db? [08:19] Slart: Oh, I get it. It moves stuff into trash instead of deleting it... [08:19] syntax_: if you install that package I think you get a empty-trash command.. together with some other trash commands [08:19] wonder what the command to empty trash is in trash-cli [08:19] losher: nope.. it lets you empty the trash and some other stuff [08:19] Hi there all, say is there anyway to run a command to make sure Ubuntu 8.10 has all of it default packages? As I think I have messed up and removed something I shouldn't have. [08:20] Slart: Sorry, what other stuff is there? [08:20] can an option in ubuntu be set to delete trash instead of moving to trash? [08:20] or rther delete right away without moving to trash [08:20] to install a virtual instance of vista using VMWare server is it recommended/required to have a seperate NTFS partition? [08:20] Guest38006: nope.. the trash will be rebuilt afaik.. go ahead.. give it a try [08:21] oh! is this a trash resonance? or world cleanliness day?! everyone is concerned about their trash! [08:21] Grew my ext3 partition and it errored on the grow filesystem. Now I have a larger partition, however it's placed junk data in all the extra space I acquired leaving me with the same amount of original free space. Any suggestions? [08:21] Clouse: there is a package log in /var/log/dpkg.log with a history of package add/delete. You can check to see if you removed anything recently... [08:21] losher: Thanks [08:22] Horrors! I downloaded the drivers for AMD Radeon HD 3200 graphics.. in System > Administration > Hardware drivers .. and now the bottom of my screen is black (but i went to serve dinner and now it's full length :) ) and there is no bottom ubuntu bar? it's ubuntu Intrepid 8.10 [08:22] losher: http://code.google.com/p/trash-cli/ [08:22] Oh and I forgot to add that my updates want work anymore. [08:22] * Guest38006 streams beer://1 track specially to slart:) [08:22] Slart: thank you. Strictly academic you understand. I'm an rm user... [08:23] hmm, which package do I need to install to get all characters to display properly, instead of boxes? [08:23] losher: rm will not work across different hard drives if I understand correctly.. but sure.. if you keep at it =) [08:23] Slart: all is well i am now out of problem to ask! [08:23] * chalcedny pets b0nn .. a man i understand [08:23] so will come back as soon as possible :) [08:24] Grew my ext3 partition and it errored on the grow filesystem. Now I have a larger partition, however it's placed junk data in all the extra space I acquired leaving me with the same amount of original free space. Any suggestions? [08:24] Guest38006: great =) [08:25] Slart: see ya thanks for patience have a nice day.. [08:25] Slart: rm won't follow soft links. I don't generally find that a problem though. If I needed it to, I'd use find + rm... [08:25] losher: true [08:25] SephLance: any kind of error during partitioning is potentially very serious. Got a backup of your data? [08:26] Technically yes, however the data on this isn't particularly important. [08:26] is there anyway to allow root ssh login from lan, but block it from the internet? [08:26] What is "startup packagers"? [08:26] gogeta: OK! i have video.. but no sound [08:27] SephLance: ok. What kind of error did you get when resizing? [08:27] Ubuntu'ers - Someone in ubuntu there is a file that assigns network interfaces with names (eth0) based on their mac addresses... i've forgotten where it is, anyone know? [08:27] losher: Everything still boots, my data is fine, it's just reporting that the used space on the drive is the same percentage as it was before the grow even though the partition and file system are 3x larger. [08:28] SephLance: and I'm saying that if you got an error during the resize & the partition contains some junk, it's no longer trustworthy, except as maybe scratch space... [08:28] losher: I see. [08:28] how do i remove an imported key using gpg ? [08:29] losher: It gave me a nonspecific error during the grow of the file system to the new partition size. I was on the live cd, and I couldn't find a way to have it display greater details than growfs section failed. [08:29] im trying to follow these instructions to disable ipv6 in ubuntu 9.04: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-disable-ipv6-in-ubuntu.html [08:29] how can I setup 5.1 channels sound in jaunty? [08:30] but /etc/modprobe.d/aliases doesn't exist [08:30] SephLance: in your place, I would backup the data, erase the partition, recreate & restore the data. If anything during that time gives you an error, I'd run the manufacturers disk check software on the drive. The odd behavior you're seeing may be your first (and only) hint that the drive is about to fail... [08:30] I can't find Surround Jack Mode or Channel Mode options [08:30] moin [08:30] Hi , I'd like to know how to extract an audio file from a mp4 video file ? Download from youtube mp4 file and I wanted to extract the mp3 file out.Any command line doing it ? [08:31] Thank you [08:31] kraut: I've seen you say that "moin" before. What does it mean? It isn't English you know.... [08:31] hi, when i install ubuntu 9.04 from the desktop dvd, everything appears to work fine, but when i reboot it gives me a grub error 17! i've read a lot of stuff about that online, but nothing i've tried so far has worked (for example, the "find /boot/grub/stage1" procedure doesn't work; it successfully reinstalls grub, but i still get an error 17 after a reboot) can anyone help? [08:31] losher: I appreciate the advice. [08:32] losher: So there are some packages that have been removed but I don't know what they relate to so I am not sure if I should reinstall them. [08:32] SephLance: been there, got the lost data to prove it... [08:32] losher: it's just an allday-greeting [08:32] kraut: ok, as long as you understand it isn't actually English. With a name like "kraut" I thought you might not realise... [08:33] losher: It is my Ubuntu updates that is not working, but I don't know which removed packages relate to the issue. [08:33] losher: sure i know... [08:33] losher: As do I, but everything important has already been backed up, I'm was just wondering if there were anything of which I was unaware or why it may have mislabeled a file as being 40GB in size as opposed to 0.5 GB. [08:33] Clouse: one thing at a time. If you can't update, you can't reinstall... [08:33] losher: shall i use "p'tak" to satisfy you? [08:33] anyone? [08:34] kraut: is that klingon? [08:34] p'tak! [08:34] It's most definitely Klingon. [08:34] losher: maybe? [08:35] It's some variety of insult. [08:35] SephLance: it sounds like a seriously damaged filesystem. I wouldn't trust it any further than I could spit. How lucky do you feel? [08:35] losher: do we really discuss about the problem, that i use a german word to greet the channel? [08:35] Not clear what it means. [08:35] losher: fairly lucky as there's really nothing to lose. [08:35] hey [08:35] kraut: no, it's off topic, and if an op catches us, we'll get spanked... [08:35] how do i get xserver-xgl in jaunty? i'm trying to get compiz to work [08:35] Asshole? Goat-fister? Falangist? Pedophile? Quisling? [08:35] losher: But I can install, I just intalled gtk2-engines-ubuntulooks. [08:36] it says xgl not present [08:36] losher: i really don't care [08:36] SephLance: well that's only half the problem. Anything you might care to put on there in the future is also potentially compromised.... [08:38] losher: Well, that's fine. It's a tertiary workstation. It would be worth more to me to attempt to recover the file system just to have it fail later than to trash it and reconfigure today. [08:38] Clouse: so you can install but not update. That's weird... [08:38] losher: I do appreciate the concern, though. [08:38] SephLance: as long as you understand the risks, I'm cool... [08:39] xgl in jaunty? [08:39] SephLance: Absolutely. [08:39] Wicks: you find it yet? [08:39] losher: I was more asking if anyone knew where I might look or what I might try to do so. :D [08:40] RebelZero: Just did :) /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rule [08:40] SephLance: you can run sudo du -x | sort -rn > du.out to see exactly which files are using space? Apart from that, I'd check the SMART data on the drive to see if it's logging failures... [08:40] Wicks: yeah... I knew what you were looking for but couldn't remember where. [08:40] losher, what kind of instability? new softwares makes my 8.0x instable too [08:41] is there a faster way to switch between workspaces? I know about the wheel,but i have to have everything minimized. [08:41] RebelZero: it's a ballache of a google search "ermm.. that file that holds mac and stuff" lol [08:42] Loafers: ctrl+alt+left/right arrow ? [08:42] losher: Yar tell me about it. [08:42] Evet: did you not see my earlier reply? flash, sound, ext4 issues.... [08:42] Loafers: hard to find anything that's quicker than a flick of the mouse wheel [08:42] Has anyone had Thunderbird issue's with downloading large amounts of e-mails and you lose connection? [08:42] Hello, does anybody know how to make WLAN speed using b43 driver with boradcom wlan card faster? [08:42] ikonia, Thanks! Just what i was looking for! [08:42] I'm toying with KVM in the karmic release and it is requesting a "installation media url" the example provided makes me think I should go to ubuntu.com and go to the download page, download a copy of my edition however when I direct the program to do such it asks for the server to send a .treeinfo which I am going to guess is different from a .iso. Does anyone know the proper url to sick the virtual machine creator on? [08:43] !karmic koala [08:43] Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 2009 - Karmic WILL break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [08:43] Clouse: do you want to pastebin the output from your update command so we can see? [08:43] losher, is flash issue common? im happy to hear that :) [08:43] Loafers: thank you [08:43] losher: Thank you kindly. [08:43] Evet: very common. Sound is even more common. And apparently very difficult to fix... [08:43] Has anyone had Thunderbird issue's with downloading large amounts of e-mails and you lose connection? [08:43] SephLance: hope it helps... [08:43] i hope there will be a new theme in karmic [08:44] tictac2324341, yes [08:44] Evet: any suggestions? === Julian-off is now known as Julian-de [08:45] Wicks: did "grep eth3 /etc/*" and kept adding asterisks till I got the right output ;) [08:45] losher, is ubuntu 8.0x stable, generally? [08:45] is /etc/rc.d/sshd in /etc/init.d/ssh ? [08:45] im trying to backup my .hidden config folders in my home directory (so i can reformat and repartition), and I have been having fits for hours tonight trying to make a copy of those files. ive tried it in the console, in recovery mode, as a different user, through the gui gksudo....can anyone help me copy my files?] [08:45] Evet: 8.04 is the stablest version currently supported, in my opinion... [08:45] dayo: /etc/init.d/sshd is the start up script [08:46] losher: Sure, one moment. [08:46] xim_: what are you trying too backup too? [08:46] tictac2324341, dunno. i press 4-5 times to get about a tousand mails [08:46] you press get mail that many times? === olivier is now known as Guest18132 [08:47] Is there a program to switch wallpapers every x seconds? [08:47] ikonia: i'm trying to set up two configs for sshd. one for lan one for internet. [08:48] gartral: anything, pref my ext usb HD, but ive also tried to another folder on my desktop on the same drive [08:48] xim_: it's tricky. cp .* will copy most of them, then you have to go back by hand and copy the directories whose names begin with dot using 'cp -r'. Luckily there are only a handful of directories usually... [08:48] losher: Thanks again for the help. I think I can figure out what to do from here. === Guest18132 is now known as minusvirus [08:48] SephLance: come back if you need more advice. Good luck... [08:49] losher, i have a flash player issue on 8.04 too. and cant change the interface [08:49] dayo: you'll need to have two sshd's running for that - OR have one config and use external tools like tcpwrappers to try to seperate access (assuming it's access control you want different) [08:49] can an option in ubuntu be set to delete files instantly instead of moving them to trash? [08:49] tictac2324341, yes i do [08:49] losher: so all the directories that it says "omitting" i have manually cp each one with a seperate cp command? [08:49] losher: Will do. [08:49] Evet: thanks [08:49] xim_: almost. A single cp -r .one .two .three .four .... will copy the directories. [08:50] ikonia: i want to block root from logging in via internet, but to be able to login from LAN. non-roots should still be able to login from internet and lan [08:50] losher: ok thanks ill try that, why does it omit some directories unless you manually type them? [08:50] guys [08:50] what happened to xgl? [08:50] how do i get compiz working? [08:51] can an option in ubuntu be set to delete files instantly instead of moving them to trash? [08:51] dayo: why not just have non-root for anywhere - running 2 sshd processes for that is a big overhead [08:51] ikonia: i still need root ssh from LAN for my backup server to be able to work. [08:51] xim_: because . and .. are also directories but you don't want to copy them with cp -r, and cp without -r skips directories by default. If that makes sense... [08:52] xim_: cp omits all directories unless you add the -r or -a to make it copy recursively [08:52] DarthPuff: Try openning a terminal and typing compiz & [08:52] dayo: your backup servers should not need to login as root [08:52] dayo: if they do, that is a flawed model [08:52] DaveSiberia: xgl not present [08:52] ikonia: i'm using BackupPC. [08:53] how do i enable remote ssh on my machine? [08:53] ikonia: dayo: it's hard to do backups without using root... [08:53] !ssh [08:53] SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for client usage. Putty is an SSH client for Windows; see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for it's homepage. See also !scp (Secure CoPy) and !sshd (Secure SHell Daemon) [08:53] losher: yeah [08:53] !dvd [08:53] 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 [08:53] losher: I didn't say don't use root, but your backup process should not have to login to ssh directlry as root [08:53] should i install openssh server or something? [08:54] DaveSiberia: it's like xgl just vanished [08:54] dayo: I'm not aware of that product personally, but if your product needs to remotley login as root, I would not recommend that as a sane solution [08:54] i need to access my machine from my lan, but for some reason i am not able to ssh into my ubuntu box, there is no firewall [08:54] justanothercoder: yes, install openssh server. It's not there by default... [08:54] justanothercoder: there are no blocking firewall rules by default [08:54] ikonia: not remotely. it logs in as root from LAN [08:54] in 9.04-server how do I reconfigure the network settings? (like you get it during the installation procedure)? [08:54] dayo: that is remote [08:54] losher: When I run "sudo apt-get update" and "sudo apt-get upgrade" all is ok and there is nothing to update or upgrade, but if i run the "Update Manager" GUI from Sytem->Administration then I get this; Not all updates can be in installed, Run a partial upgrade, to install as many update as possible, This can be caused by; and then it give four reasons. What do you think? [08:54] ikonia: ok [08:54] ow [08:54] ikonia : thanks [08:55] Clouse: sorry dunno. I don't use the gui stuff much. Can you tell me the 4 reasons? Tedious to type them I know... [08:56] does anyone know how i can install benq scanner series 5000 in ubuntu? [08:57] i have tried most of procedures on internet without luck [08:58] does anyone know how i can install benq scanner series 5000 in ubuntu? [08:58] dayo: you could maybe to PermitRootLogin nopwd and use public key authorization for the local backup machine. This would still be secure, if not exactly what you wanted... [08:58] Slart: i found a semi-solution, i use the unicode to enter the tilde. for some reason, i cannot enter the pipe this way. [08:59] Hi [08:59] losher: it does use passwordless pubkey login [08:59] I've been using NX server in by Ubuntu for a long time. Ubuntu 8.04 and 9.04 [09:00] sol93: ahh.. neat [09:00] dayo: then PermitRootLogin nopwd would prevent anyone else without a key from logging in as root. That's *almost* what you asked for.... [09:00] DarthPuff: My system also gives the warning "Xgl not present", compiz still works [09:00] Slart: i hope, i will never have to enter a pipe with unicode, i once found the code, but bash wouldnt accept is as pipe... for now everything works here, somehow at least [09:00] but for a few days when I log in from nxclient (windows) to nx server at my computer, gnome starts and it looks like GTK1 [09:00] k [09:01] DaveSiberia: thanks [09:01] Does anyone have experience with networking and Hamachi on ubuntu or linux in general? [09:01] allart: NX is supposed to be really fast. I've never managed to install it because I have a non-standard ssh server.... [09:01] losher: that works, because i want only the backup server to be able to login as root. [09:01] changing theme doesn;t work [09:02] dayo: sounds like it was invented by someone with the same problem as you... [09:02] losher: lol i guess [09:02] loser: Yes, but it is very fast [09:02] DarthPuff: Have a look on System->Preferences, see if CompizConfig Settings Manager is present [09:02] allart: ouch [09:02] my internet connection is not too fast to use vnc [09:02] losher, I'm sorry [09:03] wrong name :-) [09:03] allart: no problem. Surprised it doesn't happen more often :-) [09:03] ikonia: losher: thanks for your help, guys. :-) [09:03] Thank you [09:03] allart: bad performance with remote desktop? if the client machine has windows, vncviewer.exe lets you choose less colors, which helps a lot [09:03] Hi , I'd like to know how to extract an audio file from a mp4 video file ? Download from youtube mp4 file and I wanted to extract the mp3 file out.Any command line doing it ? [09:03] ubuntunewbie: mencoder should be able to do it [09:04] sol93 Yes, but it is still too slow :-( [09:04] allart: 65K modem?? [09:04] NX works perfectly [09:04] 65 [09:04] 56 [09:04] no no, slow upload ... [09:04] ubuntunewbie: this looks like it could be useful.. ffmpeg is available for linux and windows http://www.catonmat.net/blog/how-to-extract-audio-tracks-from-youtube-videos/ [09:05] allart: well, you cant play video games over vnc, but usually its fast enough to conviniently configure stuff or use text processors [09:05] allart: how much too slow is it really? whats the upload speed of that machine? [09:05] Slart: mencoder -i test.mp4 -vn -acodec copy test1.mp3 ? correct ? [09:05] ubuntunewbie: oh.. I don't know that stuff by heart.. give it a try [09:05] upload speed is about 512 kb but I hare this line with my wife ... [09:06] hi [09:06] I share [09:06] losher: Na thats OK I don't mind but I have to go right now I will be back in 20 min if you are still around [09:06] Clouse: probably tomorrow. It's late here (1am)... [09:06] Slart: Ok I am learning now :) [09:06] hi all === MyUser4I is now known as PolitikerNEU [09:06] ubuntunewbie: See also http://linux.byexamples.com/archives/229/extract-audio-from-video-or-online-stream/ [09:06] what's wrong/ [09:07] i need help diagnosing a problem with my eee. every now and then it freezes up completely (won't respond to mouse/keyboard). i can ssh into it, but don't really know where to go from there [09:08] losher: i got this error: /etc/ssh/sshd_config line 26: Bad yes/without-password/forced-commands-only/no argument: nopwd am i to use "without-password" ? [09:08] losher: OK [09:09] sol94 What port uses vnc? I must set NAT at home. [09:09] dayo: looks like it. You might wanna check the docs for your particular version. You don't want to get this wrong... [09:09] losher: ok, i will [09:10] you want something weird, the whole bottom part of my screen vanishes things?! [09:11] sol93: port 5900 [09:11] allart: 590X where X is the screen number, I recall... [09:11] losher: ubuntunewbie: Slart: ffmpeg -i works, probably works with mp4 too [09:11] I'll try it [09:11] allart: yes, thats the vnc port? [09:11] need help, how to run windows software on my ubuntu 9.04? [09:11] sol93 : nope , I tried it and it doesn't work. [09:11] losher: what vnc client is better? [09:11] hi new bee here, need help of ubuntu + X11 forwarding + Xming + Vista [09:12] allart: tightvnc has the best compression for slow links, so they say.... [09:12] gemilang: install wine, and look at instructions at winehq.org [09:12] sol93: ffmpeg -i test.mp4 -vn -acodec copy test1.mp3 . I does output the test2.mp3 file but it doesn't play [09:12] sol93: ffmpeg -i test.mp4 -acodec copy test1.mp3 . I does output the test2.mp3 file but it doesn't play [09:12] gemilang: 'wine' is available from the repositories. [09:13] to: prince_jammys, thanks [09:13] ubuntunewbie: did you try without mentioning the codec? copy means, it takes the data from the file, but if the file isnt encoded in mp3, you will get a corrupted mp3 file [09:14] sol93: the format check with smplayer [09:14] Format [09:14] mp4a [09:15] well... that doesnt sound like mp3, but maybe it is compatible? i dont know [09:15] sol93: I have tight vnc and it much slower ... [09:15] it is much slower [09:15] One of my repo's keeps failing. What is the suggested operation? [09:16] hey can anyone help me install the isight on ubuntu? [09:16] sol93 : not sure , i too confuse now, hoping someone could help out [09:16] tuxwulf: find a mirror or another repo? [09:16] tuxwulf: is it archives.ubuntu.com? [09:17] ubuntunewbie: we have to check, if mp4a is basically compatible with mp3 software... i am reading the ffmpeg man page now [09:17] Slart > Yes, it is [09:17] sol93 : ok I am search for mp4a now thanks for your help :) [09:17] tuxwulf: I think someone poured a beer into that server or something.. it's been flaky for a day or two now [09:17] ubuntunewbie: try to play the "corrupt" mp3 file with mplayer... this thing will play a pizza, if you manage to stuff one into your cd drive [09:18] tuxwulf: just wait until they fix it.... you might want to check if there is a bug reported on it.. just to make sure they know about it [09:19] Slart > Longer, in fact. This has happened before, so I waited a bit, but this time it seems really gone. And if I understand you correctly, finding another repo will not do the trick in this case? [09:19] sol93 : just tested as you mention .Not working [09:19] tuxwulf: I don't know if there is a mirror somewhere.. I don't think so [09:20] Slart > I see.... Where can I report a bug? [09:20] !launchpad | tuxwulf [09:20] tuxwulf: Launchpad is a collection of development services for Open Source projects. It's Ubuntu's bug tracker, and much more; see https://launchpad.net/ [09:20] ubuntunewbie: you could try to encode with recoding. Should be ffmpeg -i test.mp4 -acodec mp3 test1.mp3 [09:21] losher: with tvnc the screen is reloading very slowly :-( [09:21] just upgraded to 9.04 and am unable to add users. something about a shaddow password system? [09:21] any advice? [09:21] ....seems I have to register or something.... [09:22] losher: interesting is, when I log directly from keyboard at home, it works very well [09:22] ubuntunewbie: Is the mp4 video large? If I had it here, i could play with it until we find the solution [09:22] hello guys [09:22] sol93 : same not working === phlegx_systems is now known as adac [09:23] I came back to ubuntu after some years spent with mac [09:23] anyone understand shadow passwords in 9.04?

[09:24] losher: I got back earlier then expected so if you are still there (anyone else feel free to chime in): Cause 1.) A previous upgrade which didn't complete. 2.) Problems with some of the installed software. 3). Unofficial software packages not provided by Ubuntu. and 4.) Normal changers of a pre-release version of Ubuntu. [09:25] ubuntunewbie: the man page doesnt help much more, i will have to ask google. Can you give me the information of how the source video is encoded?

[09:34] it worked, although had to reinstall nvidia-kernel-common from apt [09:34] n1lqj, Nothing, but if it causes you problems it would be more efficient to do a fresh install.

[09:44] sol93 it is something like VNC, it is from nomachine company [09:45] allart: although i doubt, that something is not executed. make sure, it uses 64 colors (not 64K), turn off desktop background and disable compiz (either on the server or in the viewer/vncserver settings) [09:45] sol93 you install nxserver and you can connect to the computer. It is much faster then VNC [09:47] sol93 I did. Disabled compiz, remove backgroud, set color do 8 bit [09:47] and still very slow :-( [09:47] allart: i use 6 bit usually *grins* [09:48] allart: although those 25% wouldnt be that much of a difference, i think [09:48] allart: due to overhead [09:48] sol93: NX clients works very well with full colors. It has jpeg compression and transfer only changed part of screen [09:48] it loks like vnc transfer full screen [09:49] can I install a deb package for Ubuntu 8 on my Ubuntu 9 machine? [09:50] allart: vnc is not the fastest, but also not that slow usually, it compresses and so on, too.

[11:01] Hi, I just activated kubuntu backports ppa and updated. Now I can't start any kde apps (from gnome) or log into kde; I get a kbuildsycoca4 crash. [11:01] when a bot invites me [11:01] c4pt: thats set in the bios for onboard video cards [11:01] it wont auto accept [11:01] ? [11:01] Can somebody help me? [11:01] caesar_: Auto-join-on-invite? [11:01] http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/hardy/man5/directfbrc.5.html [11:01] yes [11:01] ActionParsnip, ^^ [11:01] caesar_: sorry.. can't help you with that.. [11:01] !ask | homy [11:01] homy: 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. :-) [11:01] thanks, ActionParsnip [11:01] ActionParsnip: He did ask. [11:01] homy: just ask your question. [11:02] i have a machine at office, this one, it is fully configured to do all office related tasks. However from time to time i have to do some personal tasks such as checking emails and etc, i won't want that get mixed with this office account, what would be my best option? create a new user and login in a windows? [11:02] ActionParsnip, Slat: I asked the question above. I just neesome time to type "Can somebody help me?" [11:02] ask homy? [11:02] shoaibi that would be fine [11:02] homy: try asking in #kubuntu, they may know more about kde [11:02] homy: my bad: what if you rename ~/.kde then log out of gnome and into kde [11:02] its a newbiew question .. if I have finished setting up a staging server. and I have aweb application Hosted. How do I enable other mashings to see the application and change the IP address into human readable form [11:02] shoaibi a good and simple solution that you already now [11:02] know [11:02] Slart: #kubuntu is empty [11:03] homy: nope.. it's full of people.. try again [11:03] Quiznos, hmmm, okay, when i try to open "Login in a new window" i get error "failed, probably your X not configured well" [11:03] RorTez: I think ##linux would be a better place for that question. Also, what do you mean by "mashings" and "human readable form"? [11:03] shoaibi make a new user [11:04] grawity do you know how to enable auto join on invite [11:04] machine and something lie staginf.abc.com [11:04] all, mapnik requires libboost1.37 but I have 1.35, how can I see what used 1.35? [11:04] Quiznos, did... [11:04] RorTez: Ah, domain name [11:04] I want to know the danger of removing 1.35 before I install 1.37 [11:04] How do I change the domain name [11:04] shoaibi gotta be runnin a login manager too [11:05] from IP address into a domain name [11:05] Quiznos, sorry? [11:05] !ff35 [11:05] 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 [11:05] xdm gdm kdm [11:06] ActionParsnip: If I rename .kde and .kde4, I still can't start kde apps (from gnome), I get the same error. [11:07] homy: hmm, not good. That folder contains all the settings for the kde apps [11:07] ActionParsnip: I also renamed .kde4. [11:08] ActionParsnip: I'll do a pastebin [11:09] Any suggestions welcome - Yesterday Compiz Fusion was working perfectly but a stupid decision to install virtual box forcew me to reinstall Xubuntu now i cant get compiz Fusion to work [11:09] ActionParsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/248554/ is the ouput on the commandline. A "KBuildSycoca - The KDE Crash Handler" starts and tells me kbuildsycoca4 had a seg fault with following "Developer Information": http://paste.ubuntu.com/248556/ [11:09] JB-kidd: if you hit alt+f2 and type compiz --replace does it run [11:10] <_apexhouse_> anyone know any good 'delay pools' tutorials / examples... trying to share the 8mb broadband with 20 users...! [11:10] ActionParsnip after alt F2 how to i get back to the GUI [11:10] homy: looks like your wine install is a bit weird, i'd run: gksudo gedit /usr/share/applications/wine-browsedrive.desktop [11:11] JB-kidd: when you run the app, you will be back to the desktop [11:11] homy: those files in the error message have corruptions on the lines specified wich you need to repair [11:12] <^mNotIntelligent> hello everyone. any python user here, m new to this IRC thing and was trying to connect to #python, but got a response saying "you need to identify yourself" no idea what this means. can anyone help me out joining that channel, thanks [11:12] sby [11:13] ^mNotIntelligent: Type "/msg NickServer help register" and do waht it says :) [11:13] At least I'm pretty sure that's what they mean [11:13] !identify | ^mNotIntelligent [11:13] ^mNotIntelligent: You can identify automatically by using your NickServ password as the server password in your IRC client. When identifying manually, do NOT send the command from a channel's tab, or a typo may give away your password. If that happened, type « /msg NickServ set password » in the server tab as soon as possible. [11:14] ActionParsnip: I just purged wine and when starting I still get the same crash, just without the 2 lines complaioning about the wine stuff. [11:14] can I assume this is a script?? http://trac.mapnik.org/wiki/UbuntuInstallation [11:14] homy: move the files out to your home dir, see if that helps [11:14] <^mNotIntelligent> ss23 ActionParsnip thanks a lot [11:14] this might be a basic question ... Do I need a saparate server to host git .. and if so How do I deploy it to a staging server which is on a different BOX ? [11:14] No problem :) [11:15] ActionParsnip: the wine files are gone, as I purged wine (and also the output doesn't complain about the wine files anymore) [11:15] ActionParsnip, I have made a bootable usb stick from a 4 GB sandisk cruzer usb stick. But it does not boot it. I have tried boot options USB-FDD and USB-ZIP in BIOS. [11:15] homy: can you please pastebin the new error [11:15] Hello [11:15] <^mNotIntelligent> ActionParsnip, but now i'm getting this message: No channel joined. Try /join # [11:16] ActionParsnip, I have also tried both USB ports in the machine. [11:16] ^mNotIntelligent: you replace the with the channel name you want, like /j #python [11:16] howdie [11:16] It says: DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER. [11:16] quit [11:16] is there something wrong with trying to mount mdf's? [11:16] bcorne@bentop:~/Desktop$ sudo mount cd.mdf cd1/ -o loop [11:16] mount: you must specify the filesystem type [11:16] hello [11:17] when I add -t mdf it just states that mdf is an unknown type [11:17] sol93, arand: any ideas? [11:17] tdn: looks like you cant boot usb sticks, you could use a usb floppy disk with grub on to then boot the usb, its gonna get messy === livio is now known as joee__ [11:17] ActionParsnip, how do I do this? [11:17] <^mNotIntelligent> ActionParsnip, this is the command i used:/join #python and the response is this: #python :You need to be identified to join that channel [11:17] ActionParsnip, I have no floppy drive. [11:17] ActionParsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/248559/. The "Crash Handler" dialog still shows the same Information (kbuildsycoca4 seg fault, developer information http://paste.ubuntu.com/248556/). [11:17] I'm not able to remove a wrongly configured rndc and hence can't reinstall bind either. there's no package for rndc...and there are 3 packages that claim they have rndc. http://dpaste.com/75927/ http://dpaste.com/75928/ these are the 2 apt installs i tried. can someone help me understand what errors its pointing to, please ubuntu 8.10 [11:17] tdn: i'd borrow a cdrom... sounds like you have more than one computer there [11:17] tdn: if the system has a hard drive inside you could take it out, put it in a reular system and install to it, then transfer the drive back [11:18] ActionParsnip, how do I do that? This was my initial idea. I think that will work, but not sure how to do it. Will you help me? [11:19] tdn: ActionParsnip: i think, to put the cdrom into the machine, which will run ubuntu, is the safer method [11:19] you'll need the pc off and remove all attachments and then install it to another pc. I suggest you join #hardware [11:19] sol93: true but one may be unavailable [11:19] ^mNotIntelligent: that means you must be identified to freenode, try /msg nickserv help identify [11:19] sol93, I do not have a cdrom drive. And I can not easily get one here. [11:19] tdn: no CD, no floppy, no usbboot. What on earth kinda computer is this? o_O [11:20] tdn: so youre hoping to install via usb boot on the other machine? hmm.. i hope you get lucky! [11:20] arand: old [11:20] <^mNotIntelligent> guntbert, google is saying this is because of use of same nick is it the case,? [11:20] sol93: id go with the internal drive out and into another system to get it installed [11:21] ActionParsnip: if there is no cdrom. the other system will have to boot from usb... well... that ability still not quite standard [11:21] ActionParsnip: I'll think I'll just report the bug that the crash Handler thingy suggests me to do. [11:21] arand, sol93, ActionParsnip: It is a fairly old computer (VIA EPIA 800MHz mini-itx, 256MB RAM). I do not use it anymore, but it works fine. So I will install xubuntu on it and give it to charity instead of just throwing the hardware away. [11:21] <^mNotIntelligent> guntbert, can't we use the same nick in multiple channels, i dont have any registered nicks though [11:21] ^mNotIntelligent: no necessarily, look up the identification process - or ask in #freenode [11:21] tdn: that's very cool [11:21] tdn: absolutely. best way [11:22] I'm not able to remove a wrongly configured rndc and hence can't reinstall bind either. there's no package for rndc...and there are 3 packages that claim they have rndc. http://dpaste.com/75927/ http://dpaste.com/75928/ these are the 2 apt installs i tried. can someone help me understand what errors its pointing to, please [11:22] is there a program under the linux platform that can deathping? [11:22] tdn: its better than the majority of my systems [11:22] ActionParsnip, I just noticed that the BIOS recognizes my USB device. It writes this during boot: USB Storage Device: U3 Titanium. [11:22] Bauer\: look at man ping [11:22] <^mNotIntelligent> thanks guntbert [11:22] x [11:22] under ubuntu? [11:22] ^mNotIntelligent: you're welcome [11:23] tdn, I have the same, actually I have 4 16GB u3's [11:23] they all work in Ubuntu [11:23] tdn: maybe its a hard drive to the system, like the internal. You could try F11 at boot too as this usually brings up a boot media options screen [11:23] macgyver_, mine works in Ubuntu also. [11:23] ActionParsnip, clever idea. Will try that. [11:23] whats the issue? no boot? [11:23] macgyver_, yes. [11:23] macgyver_: they arent needed to work in ubuntu, they are needed to boot the installation media [11:24] macgyver_: so it is OS independant [11:24] tdn, you got win? [11:24] macgyver_, no. [11:24] unetboot (or similar) [11:24] I used Windows app called unetboot or something to create a bootable Ubuntu usb key [11:25] ActionParsnip, I have these boot options: LS120, HDD-0, HDD-1, HDD-2, HDD-3, SCSI, CDROM, ZIP100, USB-FDD, USB-ZIP, LAN. [11:25] also used it for Backtrack and Fedora... [11:25] hello [11:25] what machine you on? [11:25] tdn: try them all [11:25] I'm having trouble getting my wired network to work when live booting from a 8.04 CD. It was a box running smoothwall as a firewall, not sure if that comes into play. It has onboard network, and an added network card, I don't mind which I get working. [11:25] macgyver_, unetbootin isn't a "windows app" [11:25] i can [11:25] The top right corner has the network symbol, and it lists both my network cards there. The onboard, which I've plugged the network into, has black text, which I assosiate with being enabled. [11:25] The other is greyed out. The radio button for the onboard network is selected. The output from a ifconfig is here - http://ss23.pastebin.com/m59c017d0. I tried the other network card, the network still didn't work, and both options were removed from the network icon left click interface. [11:25] I restarted and here I am. A ping to anywhere gives the message "Destination host unreachable". Ideas anyone? [11:25] !enter | Mintu [11:25] Mintu: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [11:25] I can't open GUI in ubuntu 9.04 [11:26] it's cross-platform, like all good software :> [11:26] ceil420, maybe not, but I used the win32 binary version to create my key [11:26] ubottu it happened by mistake [11:26] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [11:26] * macgyver_ climbs back under his rock [11:26] Mintu: boot to recovery mode and select fix graphics [11:26] hi all [11:27] how can i change the lockscreen/gdm2.26 background? [11:27] ActionParsnip, all has been tried now. [11:27] Hey AP how to boot to recovery mode? [11:27] whats the command? [11:27] Mintu, should be one of your choices in GRUB when first booting [11:28] Mintu, select recovery mode in GRUB. [11:28] where to find grub [11:28] gotta be quick - you have 2 seconds after BIOS (by default) to hit ESC and enter the GRUB menu [11:28] I am only on command prompt [11:28] tdn: then id go with the drive out of the system to get it installed [11:28] Mintu, restart your computer. It is the menu just before the Ubuntu logo. [11:28] ActionParsnip, ok. Better than network installation? [11:29] ActionParsnip, I only have a laptop computer besides this one. But I have and USB harddisk enclosure for that laptop. [11:29] tdn: if you can set it up then go for lan boot, if not then it looks like the solution [11:29] ActionParsnip, it supports LAN boot. [11:29] yes ESC clicked many times but no Grub, only Ubuntu & ubunntu recovered and memory check [11:29] these 3 options display [11:30] Mintu, that's the GRUB menu [11:30] tdn: you may have an enclosure, but the bios cannot boot from it, it may be 100% usable in a full OS but your bios isnt smart enough to boot it [11:30] Ubuntu recovery? [11:30] That sounds like it Mintu :) [11:30] GRUB is a boot loader - it gives you options of what to boot to [11:30] tdn: if yuo can get a usb cdrom drive it'll be much easier [11:30] i tried'em all none worked [11:30] ActionParsnip, I cannot :( [11:30] all reboot to command prompt [11:30] ActionParsnip, annoyed me when i found out my new motherboard can't boot from usb :( [11:30] ActionParsnip, I will look into LAN boot. [11:31] thing's less than a year old; i thought all modern mobos had boot from usb >< [11:31] deps on the bios program [11:31] who wrote it? [11:31] tdn: you may be able to get a bios uprade that will allow it [11:31] or install linuxBios [11:31] ActionParsnip, ok, but that will require a floppy drive or something :( [11:31] tdn: but if you et that wrong then the system will not work [11:31] tdn: correct [11:32] how can I exit command prompt and get into graphics user interface, where I can see desktop. [11:32] as root, run startx [11:32] Mintu: startx maybe [11:32] Quiznos, can't even remember [11:32] ok [11:32] startx doesn't work [11:32] also, i usually try /etc/init.d/gdm restart first [11:32] (just a suggestion) [11:32] xserver has error doesn't run [11:32] Mintu: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start [11:33] ok let me try this command [11:33] ceil420 whose name on box? google that for bios info, spec sheet [11:33] Mintu, if X is getting an error, it prolly won't work [11:33] you may need to whip out a xorg.conf, but i unfortunately dunno how to make a good one [11:33] yes ceil I tried everything and it didn't work [11:34] X -configure [11:34] as root [11:34] Mintu: try: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [11:34] Mintu: then reboot [11:34] Quiznos, it's an ASUS mobo; i *think* it's an AwardBIOS or sumn like that, but i could be wrong. i don't think it's Phoenix [11:34] yup opened xorg.conf dunno what to alter to work [11:34] i'm too late for work to check now >< [11:34] ceil420 well google all that [11:34] ok [11:34] ffs shoulda already left and ain't even dressed... dang IRC [11:34] AP this command also I tried didn't work out [11:34] Quiznos, will do cheers o/ [11:34] gn [11:34] ☮ [11:35] tried this too sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-core=1:1.0.2-0ubuntu10 [11:35] didn't work [11:35] Am I running short on RAM and should by more? http://pastebin.ca/1520339 [11:35] Mintu: try typing my full name, use tab to complete it [11:35] Mintu: what happened to make it break? [11:36] diddy you're running alot; close unused apps [11:36] ActionParsnip: ok thanks it worked [11:36] but ubuntu sucks [11:36] diddy also look at cache col. [11:36] what to do? [11:36] diddy that's a dynamic value as kernel needs space to run someth [11:37] Mintu: there are other distros of linux if you dislike ubuntu [11:37] Quiznos, so I should buy more memory? I can not close any applications. [11:37] Mintu: well what do you have and what do you want to do? [11:37] Mintu: Look into gentoo :) [11:37] diddy maybe turn off unused unneeded daemons [11:37] http://dpaste.com/75935/ can someone please help me understand the lines 9,10,11. thanks a lot [11:37] diddy one can always throw money at the prob [11:38] So How much free RAM do I actually have? Should I use the -o option? [11:38] less than 1200 diddy [11:39] But isn't that plenty? [11:39] diddy +swap [11:39] dpreacher: you have a half installed package and is the aciles heel of package based systems [11:39] not able to get my sound working in 9.04. Brand new machine I have posted all info I can collect from my machine about it. http://paste.ubuntu.com/248571/ any ideas?

[11:40] ActionParsnip: I am looking for a replacement for windows [11:40] #ubuntu-no [11:40] ActionParsnip, so I thought scaredly. what do i do now...i thought purge did a clean job [11:41] Quiznos: ... i dont have speakers, i have headphones coming out of the sound card [11:41] gartral ok, alsa? [11:41] Quiznos: OSS [11:41] Mintu: Other distributions like mandriva or fedora are good, puppy is nice too. Try a few distros. You could even try PCBSD which is BSD based [11:41] ubuntu looked easier but it support is limited. developers are not taking much interest into support i think. [11:41] hi, if there is a bug in /etc/bash_completition, should i report it for the package that the complete-line is broken for or the package which adds the bash completition ? [11:41] gartral i dont know their tools [11:41] halo jest ktoś?????? [11:42] krs2 package auth [11:42] Quiznos: it uses alsa, but what are you going too suggest? [11:42] po polsku??? [11:42] gartral alsaconf, lift all the bars up; take off phones first; then alsactl (save i think) [11:42] Quiznos, yea but which one [11:42] ActionParsnip: pls. suggest the one which can replace windows easily without a network/internet configuration required [11:42] krs2 the author of the code [11:42] dpreacher: Ive fixed that sort of thing in 2 way. Download the deb and force install it using: dpkg --force-all -i OR (harder) each package has a postinst scipt to run and you can edit that so it doesnt check stuff. [11:42] is there something like Nero 7 or something that can play iso files [11:43] Mintu: all OSes use DHCP by default [11:43] i want to open an iso image [11:43] mount it [11:43] ok [11:43] Quiznos: alsaconf: command not found [11:43] sleepy_cat: sudo mount -o loop /path/to/file.iso /media/cdrom0 [11:43] install it [11:43] so network & internet will work on all? [11:43] !iso | sleepy_cat [11:43] sleepy_cat: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. [11:43] Mintu: sure [11:43] Quiznos: yea that was my question.. what package is it a part of [11:44] Mintu: provided your NIC is installed ok then you will be fine [11:44] Quiznos: E: Couldn't find package alsaconf [11:44] krs2 bashcompletion; find on sourcefroge.net [11:44] suggest me easiest one with no bugs or problems like ubuntu is giving [11:44] gartral alsa [11:44] krs2 bashcomplete [11:44] basically its a 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller and the driver can not be loaded. [11:44] krs2 on sourceforge [11:44] quiznos, ok thanks [11:44] yw [11:44] ActionParsnip. to get to the postscript, what do i have to do. does it require unpacking and repacking the deb file? [11:44] ActionParsnip: internet and LAN is working fine on WXP [11:45] hello all i am having a hard time installing an ati driver on my laptop [11:45] nm [11:45] krs2: dpkg -S /etc/bash_completion [11:45] Quiznos: I have alsa installed.. I have too becasue it relies on AOSS too be used [11:45] gartral ok [11:45] geira yea i know [11:45] Mintu: thats a different OS so means nothing to Linux [11:45] dpreacher: you'll need to dig around [11:45] geira, my question was if it was the bash-complete package or the wine package that added the line in the file [11:45] ActionParsnip: what i mean is H/W is correctly configured [11:46] so should work for new OS, what u think [11:46] Quiznos: so whats wrong here, an apt-cache search alsaconf returns jack-squat [11:46] krs2: Ah, I see. Only bash_completion alters /etc/bash_completion. Other packages puts a separate file in /etc/bash_completion.d/ [11:46] and it worked fine on ubuntu live CD demo [11:46] Mintu: only in the BIOS, the settings for each OS can be completely different [11:46] gartral alsaconf is part of alsa package; tool within. i dont know anymore [11:46] geirha: thanks, exactly what i wanted to hear =) [11:47] Mintu: then it works in ubuntu fine [11:47] ActionParsnip so maybe I should start with the former option of getting the deb and trying with dpkg...but whats the best way to ensure existing package installation attempts have been completely undone [11:47] im using pidgen and would like to turn off the entered room and left room stuff how do i do that? [11:47] dpreacher: you could try: sudo apt-get clean; sudo depmod -a; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get -f install [11:47] ActionParsnip: yes it works in ubuntu fine but ubuntu doesn't [11:47] Quiznos: you try alsaconf, caus according too alsa and apt, it doesnt exist as a command period [11:47] Mintu: then try a different OS, see how it flys [11:47] / [11:48] gartral on slackware it is in alsa-utils package [11:48] mistereverywhere: theres a plugin which is part of a default install [11:48] gartral i do use it [11:48] mistereverywhere: on the main pidgin screen press ctrl+u [11:48] mistereverywhere: then select join/part hiding [11:49] why on earth would Jaunty ship without an esential tools package like this!?! === XLV_ is now known as XLV [11:49] gartral no idear; chk their cvs for that package [11:49] ActionParsnip: thats what my request is pls. suggest OS which has minimum bugs [11:49] gartral i gotta sleep; good luck and gn. [11:50] actionparsnip thnx [11:50] Quiznos: ok, even after installing alsa-tools its not a command [11:50] ok [11:50] Mintu: all will have some issues, just in different places. Try a few, see which yo like. Mandriva is decent, Fedora is good, SUSE is not too bad [11:50] Mintu: could try something completely different and jiump to PCBSD [11:50] ActionParsnip: if problems in ubuntu could be resolved i would love it [11:50] gn all; gone. [11:50] Hi. [11:50] Mintu: all works 100% here [11:51] ActionParsnip: Could you help me with my networking issue? I pasted above but no one seemed to see it [11:51] i am running intel chipset 845 with P4 [11:51] flash isnt playing with sound in firefox, im on Ubuntu 9.04, using Flash 9 as 10 doesn't play what-so-ever [11:51] ss23: can you repost the link [11:51] I can't even update drivers [11:51] need some help to change the amount of video ram that nvidia-xconfig uses i want to allow ubuntu to use 512mb of video ram instead of the full 1024mb [11:51] Mintu: the drivers are part of a standard install [11:52] it gave me 800X600 screen in live CD [11:52] because i am also using xen dom0 kernel [11:52] what OS can perform an dos attack? [11:52] c4pt: you set it in the bios [11:52] ActionParsnip, the video card [11:52] c4pt: just curious, why would you want to limit it? [11:52] Mintu: stating random facts about yours system doesnt really do much [11:52] is there also anyway I can update driver from intel CD? [11:52] !hack | Bauer\ [11:52] Sorry, I don't know anything about hack [11:52] gardar, so that the xen domU can take advantage of the other half of the video ram [11:52] ActionParsnip: http://ss23.pastebin.com/m1ebae8b - That is an outline of what is happening, the 3 posts before that are, in this order, a ifconfig, lscpi, and a dmesg | tail -n50 [11:52] Mintu: no, those are windows drivers [11:52] gardar, i can only assign 4mb of video ram to the domU currently. [11:53] gardar, and i think its because the dom0 (ubuntu 9.04 is using it all) [11:53] gardar, so. (the domU is windows 7) [11:53] then how will I get 1024X724 resolution in 17" LCD Monitor? [11:53] ss23: the dhcp is failing [11:53] This computer can get an ip, also I thought the same thing [11:53] gardar, ran a hack to get the latest nvidia drivers (185 working with xen kernel) [11:54] Mintu: configure the video: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ReinhardTartler/X/RevertingIntelDriverTo2.4 [11:54] I set static ips for both eht0 and eth1, no results there either [11:54] c4pt: umm.. I havn't messed with Xen in a very long time, but if the functionality hasn't changed any: you can't assign more because xen is designer for _SERVERS_ not PCs.. and it's impossible too use a GFX card's accelleration feature while running under Xen [11:54] ss23: i'd check the wire is connected properly [11:54] ActionParsnip: Lights are on on both the network card and switch [11:54] can anyone help with jerky mp3 playback [11:54] ? [11:55] ss23: boot to liveCD, do you get an IP? [11:55] ActionParsnip tried out the list of commands u suggested. but still the same error. now do i try getting the package n trying dpkg? === l3dx_ is now known as l3dx [11:55] gardar, just wanted to assign the domU more vram than 4mb and see where it goes from there... thats all. [11:55] I am having trouble installing binary nvidia drivers. [11:55] i am trying to get compiz to work and it says i have a software rasterizer and i jsut installed the ati driver thinking that owuld help but it did not any suggestions? [11:55] The trouble is, that my ltsp chroot has a different kernel version installed than the server, so the build process for nvidia-glx-180 does not go through successfully. [11:55] ActionParsnip: Can you explain that a little more, I have restarted to the live cd twice now [11:55] dpreacher: head over to http://packages.ubuntu.com and download the deb yourself [11:55] any ideas? [11:55] ss23: you just need to test the cable and the port on the interconnecting device run well [11:56] hi all [11:56] ActionParsnip: The box was working less then a week ago at another location, the cable was working less then 20 mins ago on this pc [11:56] Hi there all, I am trying to learn what each command does in a perticular shell script I have here, can anyone point me in the right direction? [11:56] Also, I've tried both ports on the box, I figure it would be a massive conicidence for both to break at the same time [11:57] I got a Ubuntu Netbook remix edition iso file.. i renamed .img as .iso and used the usb boot maker in system to make it a bootable USB then when i restarted it went on a blank screen with some garbage and cursor keeps blinking [11:57] Clouse, is it a bash script?

[12:12] ok deany did u understand my problem [12:12] Badis: No not at all, just from my knowledge the best way to seem to be initiating http requests or others form a different computer then the one you are actually using is to setup a proxy [12:13] well first i was searching on the net.. and i read in a Ubuntu forum a person saying so so i tried it instantly changed the icon [12:13] which normally does not happen in linux because linux is not as bogus as windows [12:13] :P [12:14] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UNR/Installation/Easy sleepy_cat [12:14] sleepy_cat, so you want netbook remix and not regular ubuntu then.

[12:58] hello people, I just upgraded to jaunty and everything seems to function as usual except for firefox and epiphany. When I start these applications I get an error line that looks like this: \n /usr/lib/firefox-3.0.13/firefox: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9.0.13/libxul.so: undefined symbol: PR_GetPhysicalMemorySize [12:59] branko, what about vlc [12:59] does anyone know the problem?

[13:07] Ecner: you have bigger problems than resolution it sounds like [13:07] Ecner: or used the 'hardware drivers' tool in the menus? [13:07] are you new to ubuntu [13:07] Dr_Willis: i installed the proprietary driver from the website [13:07] do u know where's synaptic [13:07] !who | sleepy_cat [13:07] sleepy_cat: 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 :) [13:07] Ecner: you dident even TRY the one in the repos then? or the hardware-driver tool? [13:07] i have other ubuntu issues at the moment, i just need to sort out the resolution for now... its urgent :/ [13:08] <^mNotIntelligent> sleepy_cat, this is what i got aftere searchign for glib: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/248617/ which one are you taling about [13:08] Dr_Willis: my whole apt system is screwed from data loss due to the old gfx card causing the pc to freeze [13:09] !xrandr | Ecner [13:09] Ecner: XRandR 1.2 is the new method of running dual screens in !X.

How can I restore it? [13:10] <^mNotIntelligent> sleepy_cat, this is the error m getting: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/248610/ [13:10] then it's awesome++ [13:10] for me its only command prompt [13:10] ^mNotIntelligent:apt-get: /usr/local/lib/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.9' not found (required by apt-get) apt-get: /usr/local/lib/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.9' not found (required by /usr/lib/libapt-pkg-libc6.9-6.so.4.7) [13:10] any idea? [13:10] it's a x86 server [13:10] sleepy_cat is in dependency hades [13:10] anujsingh: you are on a 32bit installed system? not 64bit? [13:11] Rewt`: [13:11] ? [13:11] <^mNotIntelligent> sleepy_cat, you mean GLIBCXX_3.4.9, right? then how to install that any idae? [13:11] where i can check if my system is on 32bit or 64bit? [13:11] yes that only [13:11] so i am asking u did u do anything prior to this error or is this coming from first [13:11] Dr_Willis: just a moment checking with file /bin/date [13:12] <^mNotIntelligent> sleepy_cat, this is the first time...prior to that everything was wrokign fine...i just remove one package and then this mess [13:12] so reinstall that package [13:12] Dr_Willis: file /bin/date gave mee 64 bit [13:12] and check [13:12] why did u remove a package [13:12] hello, is there any command that can show 32 bit running processes in linux 64 bit ? [13:12] * Dr_Willis wonders how the date command tells you the bitness... [13:12] Dr_Willis: file /bin/date [13:12] <^mNotIntelligent> sleepy_cat, i tried to do that using dkpg but that is also giving the same error ...even tried ldconfig but no helo [13:13] Dr_Willis: you take the square root of the date.... [13:13] whats the name of the package u removed [13:13] i just used bin file of date to get the OS bit, /bin/date is under core installation === iwobblesz23x is now known as iwobbles [13:13] cause i am not on Jaunty so .. [13:14] in paste bin i did file bpcd with the same bin file which is giving me error [13:14] <^mNotIntelligent> sleepy_cat, that package was not working, so i removed ...it was pylucene and i removed it using autoremove so it removed somethign else i guess [13:14] just a moment i am again using pastebin [13:14] yes [13:14] it must've [13:14] where i can check if my system is on 32bit or 64bit? [13:14] try reinstalling that thing [13:15] there u can see what else gets reinstalled along with that [13:15] <^mNotIntelligent> but how? even dpkg is not allowing me to install that pylucene ting [13:15] hi! how to change locale? [13:15] go to synaptic [13:15] or sudo apt-get install pylucene [13:15] u tried that [13:15] kad: uname -a [13:16] danbhfive, Linux kad 2.6.30 #1 SMP Thu Aug 6 16:40:32 AST 2009 i686 GNU/Linux [13:16] <^mNotIntelligent> yeh,,,apt-get not working and i think because of that synaptic is not opeining at all [13:16] Dr_Willis: http://pastebin.com/d510d7298 [13:16] kad, `uname -a` and check for x86_64 === recreatedme is now known as loell [13:16] any idea? [13:16] try sudo apt-get [13:16] <^mNotIntelligent> kad, i686 => 32 bit OS [13:16] kad: i686 == 32bit [13:17] <^mNotIntelligent> apt-get not working at all [13:17] momo, and x86_64 = 64 bit ? right? [13:17] yes [13:17] <^mNotIntelligent> kad, yeh [13:17] thx :) === devi_cay is now known as ezha_free [13:19] anyone knows about anything like EasyWAMP for ubuntu? [13:19] !find easywamp [13:20] Package/file easywamp does not exist in jaunty [13:20] hi [13:20] Dr_Willis: My OS is 64 bit http://pastebin.com/d510d7298 [13:20] momo, sorry i compiled new version kernel 2.6-30 ! but on update i receive about old kernel 2.6-28! wh? [13:20] while talking on 64 bit [13:20] I wanna ask a question about cross compiling [13:20] go right ahead [13:20] Dr WIllis, its a program. [13:20] anujsingh: then you need 64bit binaries i think.. [13:20] i'm trying to install drupal on a server, i copied /drupal directory into /var/www directory of the server: i.e /var/www/drupal! restarted apache2 and postgres! i connect on port 2220. how would i fire the page on the browser? [13:21] I want to prepare a distribution's 64 bit version [13:21] bpcd is recently installed which is a 32 bit binary file. [13:21] I need something like that which can be run on UBuntu. [13:21] I need to cross compile gcc kernel ? [13:21] Dr_Willis: on rhel same binaries are working fine [13:22] what other things must be cross compiled? [13:22] glibc? [13:22] anujsingh: could be they got some 32/64 bit support libs then. [13:23] !lamp | meteor`` [13:23] Dr_Willis: can i have similar supported libs on ubuntu? [13:23] meteor``: 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+) [13:23] !ldap [13:23] LDAP is the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol. For more information, installation instructions and getting clients to authenticate via LDAP see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenLDAPServer [13:23] anujsingh: ia32-libs [13:23] I just installed jaunty from the live cd. when i reboot everything works fine. but if I power down and then on again i get a disk boot failure and my harddisk is listed as having 0MB of capacity. Anyone have a helpful suggestion how to solve this? [13:23] anujsingh: no idea. i dont really mess with 32bit binaries any more. see what jrib says.. :) [13:23] ty danbh [13:24] jrib: will it be safe to install 32 bit libs? that's a production server [13:24] anujsingh: as safe as any other package in the repositories, sure [13:24] How can I send a sigterm to a process? [13:25] hey need help! i compiled new version kernel 2.6-30 ! but on update i receive about old kernel 2.6-28! why? [13:25] sandstrom: you can use "kill" [13:25] that's what i'm going to do next, compile a kernel, then learn linux [13:25] jrib: in my pastebin why am i getting -su: error? http://pastebin.com/da7e26b3 [13:25] jrib: thanks! [13:26] anujsingh: I assume bpcd calls it somewhere [13:26] anujsingh: or maybe you got to root using su? [13:27] hi how do I install firefox 3.5 ubuntu is still with the old version [13:27] !ff35 | alesan [13:27] alesan: 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 [13:27] kad: the 2.6.30 kernels aren't in the repos, and as far as synaptic knows the latest you have installed is 2.6.28. You didn't tell synaptic you installed the 2.6.30, did you? [13:27] !ff35 =~ s/on your UI/in your UI/ [13:27] I'll remember that jrib [13:28] hi [13:28] th0r, how i can do that to synaptic? [13:28] alesan: it dosent 'replace' the old one it has a new icon/name in the menus. [13:28] kad: you create a deb package from the compiled kernel, install that using dpkg and it puts the kernel in the installed list [13:29] Dr_Willis, so how can completely delete the old version? [13:29] kad: course, all that does is stop the system from updating the kernel, so why not just skip updating the kernel? [13:29] alesan: it's probably a good idea to keep ubuntu's kernel installed at the same time. It doesn't hurt to and it may be usefull if something breaks with your version [13:30] jrib: I am going to install 32 bit lib support, it will not break my server? 32bit lib support on a 64 bit server? [13:30] alesan: short answer.. DONT.. [13:30] jrib, I do not plan to modify my kernel [13:30] anujsingh: should not break anything [13:30] alesan: so? [13:30] alesan: if you want to use the 3.5 drag its icon to the desktop/panel and use it. [13:30] jrib, I do not know why you tell me to update my kernel [13:30] th0r, mean it's ok if not receive update for the kernel ? [13:30] I have 'issues' with 3.5 [13:30] alesan: I didn't. [13:31] Thanks a lot jrib, i am going to install them, and will update you in a while. [13:31] kad: its because you have linux-generic installed. That packages makes sure that you have the latest kernel from the repos. If you want to install a custom kernel, either remove linux-generic, or name it something other than the standard kernel [13:31] jrib> alesan: it's probably a good idea to keep ubuntu's kernel installed at the same time. [13:31] alesan: yes. That's what I said. [13:31] maybe my english is limited but I do not understand why you mention the kernel [13:32] alesan: you have your custom kernel X. It's a good idea to have another kernel in case something goes wrong with X. So you should keep ubuntu's kernel installed as a backup [13:32] danbhfive, i only change the package linux-generic name ? and i'll receive update from the new kernel ? [13:32] jrib, I do not have any custom kernel [13:32] what is the issue with the kernel :) I just want firefox 3.5 [13:32] alesan: sorry. [13:32] :p [13:33] that's kad who has a comiled kernel [13:33] kad: oops, I meant you should rename the custom kernel, not linux-generic [13:33] *compiled [13:33] alesan: if you got got the Shiretoko icon and use it.. you are using Firefox 3.5 === prince_j1mmys is now known as prince_jammys [13:33] how many files is it safe to keep in a folder before its too many? [13:33] coax: proberly more then you will ever need. [13:33] hello, i am just wondering, when the kernel version 2.6.30 become available in ubuntu jaunty repos? [13:33] kad: it's probably a good idea to keep ubuntu's kernel installed at the same time. It doesn't hurt to and it may be usefull if something breaks with your version [13:34] Dr_Willis so 20 000 jpeg files isnt bad? [13:34] coax: ive had 10,000+ files in a directory befor... You really MAY want to get better organized... [13:34] coax: 20,000 in a single dir.. is a sign you are a packrat. :) [13:34] yeah i know but its too late now [13:34] too late/ its never too late. [13:34] coax: if you are using a gui, you probably want to keep it under 5k [13:34] jrib, ya ok :) but i want also to receive updates for new kernel ! [13:35] kad: How did you install it? [13:35] its for a wordpress installation, the wordpress uploads folder i forgot to turn on the option to create sub folders [13:35] coax: if its too late and you cant change.. then why ask? :) [13:35] jrib, download from kernel.org and decompress at /usr/src and compile it [13:35] Dr_Willis well its not impossible to redo, it just takes a loooong time [13:35] kad: then that's how you update it. APT can only manage what is in repositories [13:35] coax: when doing previews of 20,000 files in a directory. that may be a tad slow. [13:35] "tad" [13:35] there isnt any gui [13:36] im only speaking in terms of the file system [13:36] and access speed [13:36] coax: i doubt if it matters then [13:36] okay [13:36] jrib, aha! how i can introduce it to repositories so i can receive update from it ? [13:36] coax: there may be some upper limit.. but im not sure how high it is. [13:37] ok thanks [13:37] kad: the repositories only get updates when a human being (a "packager") updates the packages [13:37] hi, what does the ica process do? is that only useful for remote desktop, or does it have other reasonable uses? [13:37] anyone know how to speed up flash player? runs fine in windows, but it is terribly slow on linux for me [13:38] deexannihilate try going into properties and turning hardware accelleration on, if that fails try a different method of installation [13:38] deexannihilate, same problem [13:38] nyaa: where do i find properties? [13:38] jrib, should i download a kernel 2.6-30 .deb package so it can be introduced to it ?: [13:39] How do I run Windows XP virtualized in Ubuntu 9.04 on a i386 computer? [13:39] deexannihilate start a flash video on youtube or somewhere, right click the actual video, and go from there [13:39] nyaa: thanks [13:39] tdn you need to decide on a virtualization program to use. you can use virtualbox, vmware, and a few others as well. [13:40] nyaa, virtualbox seems promising. How do I use that? [13:40] tdn unless you want to do bridged networking specifically instead of using NAT, virtualbox is really the easiest way to go [13:40] nyaa, I don't care about networking for this. [13:40] tdn you can install virtualbox from ubuntus repositories, through applications > add/remove programs, or through synaptic [13:40] nyaa: it is on.. youtube runs fine but other videos run slow and fb games are terribly slow. any other ideas? [13:41] jrib: Thanks a lot. [13:41] tdn you could probably even sudo apt-get install virtualbox , but if that doesn't work, try the other two methods [13:41] it's working [13:41] Thank you very much jrib/Dr_wiilis [13:41] deexannihilate what method did you use to install flash? [13:41] nyaa, ok. [13:42] deexannihilate also have you tried the things it runs slow on after having made the change (if you did make one) === ezha_free is now known as g3_izh [13:42] nyaa: it was already selected. and i'm on the other sites and running the same. :( [13:43] nyaa: i believe synaptic flashplugin-nonfree [13:43] nyaa, when installing it with apt-get as you suggested, I get this error during package install: * Starting VirtualBox kernel module... [fail] [13:43] Hello. [13:43] i replaced /usr/sbin/apache2 with a patched version and then removed it, then 'apt-get remove apache2' then 'apt-get install apache2' but /usr/sbin/apache2 is still missing. how can i get apt-get to install the original binary? === g3_izh is now known as g3_izh4 [13:43] tdn then try installing through applications > add/remove programs, virtualbox ose should be in there [13:43] Boohbah, remove with --purge and reinstall. [13:43] does anyone know what is the standart term of common snort business license [13:43] sorry for question. there is not people to ask me on snort channel [13:43] tdn, you may need to install linux-headers-generic [13:44] nyaa, oh. It is there alright, I just get an error. [13:44] tdn: tried purge with the same result [13:44] momo, ok. [13:44] momo, linux-headers-generic is already the newest version. [13:44] deexannihilate the only thing I would suggest at that point is to uninstall it from synaptic, then install flashplugin-installer, and then after that is installed, re install flashplugin-nonfree. [13:45] tdn: oh nm, it worked that time, maybe because i also removed /usr/sbin/apache2ctl in between. thanks [13:45] alright. thanks [13:46] tdn you get that error while installing it through applications > add/remove programs?? [13:47] nyaa, I do not know. I have installed via apt-get. [13:47] nyaa, it looks like it is installed. [13:48] hi, how do i install handbrake on ubuntu? [13:48] tdn then you should be able to run it. if you don't use gnome do or something similar, then its icon is under applications > accessories.. a blue square box thing [13:48] BB, what is that? [13:48] tdn, do you have `build-essential` whicj i think is needed to compile virtualbox kernel module ? if not try to install it and if yes try `sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup` to recompile the kernel module [13:49] i tried to format my external hdd to ext3 using mkfs, but when i try to mount it i get the error 'ntfs signature missing', why is it asking for ntfs if i have formatted ext3? i delated the partitions using fdisk [13:49] !get google handbrake [13:49] nyaa, ok. I have now created a virtual machine for win xp. I need to point it to the iso. One moment. [13:49] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [13:50] momo, build-essential is already the newest version. === Julian-de is now known as Julian-off [13:50] how can i get http://handbrake.fr/ into a repository and onto Ubuntu? [13:53] hey, i am trying to get my dual monitor setup to save in the xconf.conf file, and everything is setup how i want it, but the nvidia xserver will not let me save the file, anybody knows how to make it save so i don't have to do the intere thing on every boot? [13:54] dogdogcatdog: in terminal gksudo nvidia-settings === BoomSie is now known as BoomSie32 [13:55] BB, download and install using the installer for either the 32 bit or 64 which ever you are using..its a .deb package. [13:55] legen2440: will try [13:56] oldude67, just off the site? what about the dependencies? [13:56] dogdogcatdog: i would backup xorg.conf first jusyt in case [13:56] legend2440: thought it was a root problem, but did not knwo the code for the nvidia settings, it has appeared to work now, thanks man [13:56] BB, if your missing any of them it will tell you which ones, and you can get them. [13:57] dogcatdog if you don't know how to invoke something, make an icon of it on the panel, then go into properties and it gives you the command [13:57] legen2440: it appears to be automatically backing it up, and it is now to late, will try to restart x, hopefully will be back in a jiffy [13:57] does anyone know what exactly ica does? [13:57] oldude67, i'm a bit of a noob so maybe you can clear this up - if i install a .deb package will it remain up to date like anything else in the repositories? [13:58] any help on the hdd problem? I followed the 'howto' and forum suggestions, but sill cant manage to format a 120gb external hdd to ext3, using mkfs or gparted [13:58] BB, i doubt it. [13:58] BB, no because handbrake is currently not in ubuntu repositories [13:58] BB, you will have to maintain it yourself. [13:58] what if i use PPA? https://launchpad.net/~handbrake-ubuntu/+archive/ppa [13:59] (i only discovered PPA tonight) [13:59] userone is this something that you mounted before as ntfs? [13:59] probably be the better way to go. [14:00] userone if that is the case, check your fstab file to see if it has a remnant from that [14:00] legend2440: worked like acharm thx man! [14:00] dogdogcatdog: your welcome [14:00] this morning for no apparent reason, Konversation simply would not start.... I hit the icon it showed a screen flash and then nothing.... any ideas? [14:00] i've recently decided not to put on tar balls on my system anymore because i loose track of all the crap i put on my system - i wans't sure if .deb were just as bad [14:00] <|]Spectre[|> dcs [14:01] nyaa, it used to be ntfs, but i hardly ever use windows now so i wanted to change to ext3 as i use ubuntu almost exclusively now [14:01] if youuse ubuntu exclusiely, why not go ext4? [14:01] could it be running in the background hidden somewhere? [14:02] userone if you do this .... "nano /etc/fstab", does that drive have an entry? this may be as simple as changing that entry to ext3 [14:02] BB, if you install a .deb and add the ppa in software source your programm will reamin up to date [14:02] i dont mind ext3 or ext4, i just cant manage to format [14:04] userone: if the partition is mounted/in use/ gparted wont let you mess with it. if you REALLY want it gone and have no data on it youneed. You could use 'fdisk' to delete it. (it wont care if its mounted or not) [14:04] anyone know why konversation would not start? [14:04] userone: then you can either use fdisk to make a new parittion onit.. or reboot and use gparted. === flavie is now known as zelrikriando [14:05] logging off for a bit to see what the ica process is, good luck in here =) [14:05] what could cause a program to simply not start? [14:06] <|]Spectre[|> I have on my "Asus X51R laptop a "FN" key that works under ubuntu,but not at all,for example I have to use it in combination with "ALT" + "ascii numeric code" to generate a char but in this way it doesn't work,can you give me a suggestion ? thanks [14:06] jiohdi: in terminal type konversation and look for error messages [14:06] <|]Spectre[|> (p.s. I'm talking about gnome) [14:06] Would replacing the 5400 RPM drive in my laptop with a 7200 RPM one give me any noticable decrease in read/write times? [14:07] legend, thanks [14:07] not really [14:07] i started with fdisk -l, it saw the hdd, then i followed the howto instructions using fdisk /dev/sdb1. the hdd was not mounted [14:07] <|]Spectre[|> Cyber_Akuma: no [14:07] How can I make Ubuntu so that it will not re-install Games (in Applications > Games) even in a dist-upgrade? [14:07] i see [14:07] So I should just get another 5400 then and save money? [14:07] <|]Spectre[|> it depends on the price difference [14:08] it formats to ntfs, but not ext3..this is what i dont understand [14:08] legend... it started from terminal... no error messages [14:08] how can I have super user rights on gui mode ? [14:08] want to upgrade my mac mini, if I get a 7200 ill transfer my toshiba laptop's drive to it and put the old 5400 from my Toshiba into the mac mini, if not, ill just put the new 5400 into the mac mini [14:08] jiohdi: but it wont start from launcher? [14:09] legend, at first it did not start from just me... but when I did sudo su then it started...its still not starting from launcher [14:10] geophysics: generally, use "gksudo " to start a graphical program with superuser privileges. use this sparingly, though. [14:10] I'm using kdenlive, and want to export to mpeg-2 what is a good setting to use? 600k 1000k 8000k? I want decent quality, but not overboard size. [14:10] nyaa, i tried your nano /etc/fstab suggestion, no entry there [14:10] legend under just me in terminal- kdeinit: Aborting. No write access to '/home/jiohdi/.ICEauthority'. [14:10] <|]Spectre[|> Cyber_Akuma: the only reasonable way to increase a pc speed is to add more ram,or switch to a flash memory instead of an hard drive [14:11] Dr_Willis, i can manage to format to ntfs without a problem, but not to ext3. any ideas why this may be? [14:11] anyone installed linux on macbook [14:11] <|]Spectre[|> Cyber_Akuma: but flash memory has a limitated number of erase/write cycles [14:11] can someone tell me why when i login as root my windows drive shows up as windows (like it wanted) but when i log in under my account it is listed as 21 GB media [14:12] earthen: login as root? something went wrong there.. [14:12] !supportroot [14:12] We do not support having a root password set. See !root and !wfm for more information. [14:12] I just got a warning box saying such and such program can damage my system. I was downloading anything. [14:12] jiohdi: permissions of .ICEauthority file is probably wrong [14:12] Slart, what do you mean [14:12] legend, I dont find any such file in that directory... viewing hidden files [14:13] jiohdi: its not in your home directory? [14:13] legend, not that I can see [14:13] MidsummerDawn, dont worry, nothing will damage your system unless you enter your 'sudo' passowrd [14:13] Slart, well never really loged in as root just started nautilus as root [14:13] |]Spectre[|: I increased my RAM size from 0.5 to 1 GiB but did not notice a speed advantage. In what situatiions is this RAM size increase most noticeable? [14:14] userone: So..the warning I got from imageshack was false? [14:14] jiohdi: in terminal try ls -al /home/jiohdi/.ICEauthority [14:14] i am connected to the net but unable to browse via firefox, plz help [14:14] legend, how would that change over night, worked just fine yesterday? [14:14] Slart, but in older versions of ubuntu it would alway show up as root like i told it too [14:14] Slart, as windows soory [14:14] why I cann't run a script calling as './script' else I've call it 'bash script' (it has +x mod.) [14:14] earthen: ahh.. now that's an entirely different thing. I'm not sure why it's different.. probably some setting that isn't configured for the root user [14:14] legend I get --rw------- 1 root root 2830 2009-08-05 21:46 /home/jiohdi/.ICEauthority [14:14] i'm having quite some networking trouble .. both wireless and wired. i'm running 9.04 on my laptop. both wired and wireless connections have worked but drop out quite often.. wireless works most of the time, wired hasn't worked for 2 days now [14:15] Slart, it's more like it's using what i told it to and my account is not [14:15] bullgard4, you may have increased your RAM memory capacity, but when you did so, you may have put in lower speed sticks [14:15] earthen: I'm not sure what is responsible for naming hard drives in nautilus.. udev perhaps [14:15] hello all, i just installed handbrake and i cant get it ot load a dvd to backup into it [14:15] jihodi `ls -al | grep .ICE` in a terminal in your ~/ directory [14:15] MidsummerDawn, i am not familiar with image shack, but unless you were working under 'sudo' an application should only be able to affect preferences, not system settings [14:15] jiohdi: theres the problem its root:root it should be jiohdi:jiohdi [14:15] it just freezes and doesnt load [14:16] Slart, it's not only that even the icon that is created on my desktop is wrong [14:16] legend, how do I change it and why did it change? [14:16] b3rz3rk3r: No sir. [14:16] Slart, I would rather it say windows rather than just 21 gb media [14:16] jiohdi: can i pm? [14:16] I wasn't using anything. [14:16] And imageshack.us is where you upload photos. [14:16] sure [14:17] earthen: usually the drives are named according to the partition label..if that is set [14:17] Slart, i have that set, did that during install [14:17] bullgard4, you seem very sure about that, considering the question you posed. what are the CAS timings and latency on them? [14:17] anyone installed linux on macbook [14:18] Slart, but like i said it only seems to be the root user that is getting that info [14:18] MidsummerDawn, i just checked the imageshack site. As an image hosting site, it is highly unlikely that it can install anything on your system without a 'sudo' password, (unless you use windows of course) [14:18] how do I resize my ubuntu root partition [14:18] :P Thanks. [14:18] b3rz3rk3r, what's the difference between 4-4-4-12 PC6400 and 5-5-5-15 PC6400? [14:19] yaboo: try gparted [14:19] earthen: hmm.. not sure why it would behave like that.. btw how do you start nautilus as root? [14:19] b3rz3rk3r: I did mesure them before and after. They are the same. [14:19] hi guys, i have recently installed ubunty 9.04 on a hp 6530b laptop. i am not getting sound [14:19] yaboo, do it from live cd using Partition editor [14:19] otacon122, realistically very little.. lower is better though, if that is what you are asking? [14:20] earthen thanks livecd [14:20] b3rz3rk3r, I was basically wanting to know if its worth the expense in terms of performance [14:20] !sound | madhu [14:20] madhu: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [14:20] Slart, in terminal type sudo nautulis [14:20] bullgard4, so if you didnt buy faster RAM, why are you expecting your speed to increase? [14:20] which command should i learn to manage startup daemons? list them, add, remove.. [14:21] earthen: not sure if that's the problem.. but you should *never* use sudo with gui apps.. [14:21] !gksudo | earthen [14:21] earthen: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [14:21] anyone know why i can format to ntfs but not ext3 using fdisk/gparted? [14:21] how do you change a image to RGB in gimp? [14:21] otacon122, unless you are interested in overclocking or high-performance gaming, its not really worth it as the difference is pretty small.. === tiobuenow is now known as nox_ [14:21] userone: in gparted check the capabilities.. it's in one of the menus.. you can see what file systems it can work with and what it can do with each [14:21] can someone please help, sound doesn't seem to be working for me in jaunty [14:21] would using WICD instead of the gnome-default Network Manager improve my wired and wireless network connection stability? [14:21] thanks bullgard4 [14:22] userone: what command did you run for each, and what errors did you get? [14:22] Slart, good to know I just use it from once in awhile to copy things that need root [14:22] Hi [14:22] how do you change a image to RGB in gimp? [14:22] b3rz3rk3r, I don't do gaming much anymore now that I'm on Ubuntu 9.04 [14:22] b3rz3rk3r: Because |]Spectre[| said so. [14:22] I installed ubuntu server, on a hp proliant dl380, im not sure how i now fire up the server with out a monitor keyboard and mouse connected === MidsummerDawn is now known as BoxxyPenrNose [14:22] otacon122, im struggling with that myself, still keeping ol' Xp around for my gaming fix [14:22] anyone know what i need to do? [14:23] bullgard4, having a larger capacity merely means that you can multi-task more. [14:23] sipior, i started with fdisl -l, then fdisk, /dev/sdb1, then d, then w, then n, no errors [14:23] earthen, Boohbah any ubuntu live cd or is there a special livecd needed for gparted [14:23] b3rz3rk3r, I get over my gaming fix with Warzone 2100 and a couple other Linux games [14:23] earthen: try starting it with gksudo instead.. see if that makes things better [14:23] bullgard4, sure, for really large, memory intensive apps it might help with speed [14:23] yaboo, the ubuntu one will work fine [14:23] im using Ubuntu Alternate LTSP server [14:24] otacon122, im working on a solution for linux gaming now.. comparing POL, Cedega and Crossover [14:24] userone: yeah, but how did you attempt to create the two filesystems? [14:24] otacon122, i was going to do a post on it on Forums soon [14:24] yaboo, or any that has a partition editor in it [14:24] sipior, then i used mkfs -t ntfs /dev/sdb1, long time formatting...no eroors [14:24] Lenin_Cat: Image-menu... mode ? [14:24] Slart, will do [14:24] anyone know what the process "ica" is? or what it does? [14:24] b3rz3rk3r, yeah...I mostly do chat and web surfing now...Small low-bandwidth-use stuff [14:24] sipior, then i repeated the process with ext3, it wrote 895 inode tables but no formatting? [14:25] userone: what was the *precise* command executed? [14:25] nyaa: citrix client? [14:25] How can I give my server a static IP address? I went ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.77 and it worked but after the next reboot it got an IP address again from the DHCP server in my LAN. [14:25] b3rz3rk3r: Thank you for explaining. What you say accords with my own observations on one Ubuntu computer. [14:25] Slart, yeah thats the same the drive show up as windows [14:25] slart what does it do? I never installed a citrix thing in my life, heh [14:25] sipior, it was mkfs -t ext3 /dev/sdb1 [14:25] bullgard4, no prob man.. :) [14:25] nyaa: could be something else as well.. [14:25] userone: try "sudo mke2fs -j /dev/sdb1" [14:26] Slart, like it shod [14:26] slart if you go into a terminal and use top, do you have it as one of your processes? I'm trying to figure out if this is regular or if I've been hacked somehow =/ [14:26] diddy, assign the IP from the routers interface to the MAC addres of the server [14:26] diddy, you can assign a static IP by adding an entry to your /etc/network/interfaces [14:26] hey need help! when i do lsmod display sn9c102 ! which is the driver module for my webcam! but i don't work why? how i can test my webcam ? [14:26] sipior, ok, but just out of interest, what is the difference with mkefs and what does the -j option do? [14:27] nyaa: nope.. no ica process here.. are you running KDE? [14:27] b3rz3rk3r, momo: Which method is the better one? [14:27] sipior, its just that it worked formatting ntfs but not ext3, so i was confused [14:27] userone: there shouldn't really be a difference. -j enables journaling, and is how mke2fs knows to make an ext3 filesystem, and not an ext2. [14:27] Slart gnome, I installed a few kde apps a while ago though [14:27] yaboo, in ubuntu live cd gparted is called Partition editor [14:27] Hello. Is there any way of running a mac os x from within ubuntu, like running windows in the virutalbox? [14:27] diddy, from a router is a good idea [14:28] diddy, they both do the same thing.. however using the router method, if you reinstall you will still have the same setup (due to the MAC address) [14:28] sipior, so assuming it works should i just try and make ext4 or stick with ext3 for now? [14:28] nyaa: italk client ? [14:28] diddy, assuming that your router supports this.. some dont. [14:28] slart hmm, maybe from skype checking that now [14:28] diddy, otherwise momo's way will work just fine too [14:28] nyaa: probably not skype.. I have that running too [14:28] hey all [14:28] userone: makes no difference to me :-) [14:29] my first time here [14:29] Slart virtualbox? [14:29] nyaa: yup.. running that as well [14:29] b3rz3rk3r, momo: Thx [14:29] np [14:29] i-m looking for hlp in mounting one of my disk partition and make it mount automatic as part of the / fs [14:29] yaboo, the problem is you can't edit the size of a partition if you have it mounted, and since it is your root partition you need to boot from a live cd or live USB drive etc.. [14:30] My only complaint about Linux is that there aren't drivers or software for PDAs and stuff [14:30] I have a Palm TX PDA but it won't sync with Linux [14:31] slart I installed a firewall and it went away! thats never a good sign lol [14:31] nyaa: ah.. too bad.. would be interesting to see the info on that process.. [14:31] hello [14:31] Hello. Is there any way of running a mac os x from within ubuntu, like running windows in the virutalbox? [14:31] Slart what could I have done to see what it was? [14:32] nyaa: ps can show you a lot of information.. top/htop too if you configure them [14:32] der0b, im pretty sure that Apple cripple their OS so ppl cant do that [14:32] octacon122: Try multisync, http://multisync.sourceforge.net/news.php [14:33] b3rz3rk3r, momo: My stupid router does not have this feature. Can I edit the /etc/network/interfaces file directly or through other commands? [14:33] b3rz3rk3r: too bad, but propably you are right. [14:33] b3rz3rk3r: I need it for developing/testing [14:33] diddy, look at this tutorial http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/howto-ubuntu-linux-convert-dhcp-network-configuration-to-static-ip-configuration.html [14:33] earthen, thanks [14:34] diddy, sudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces [14:34] momo, cool! THx [14:34] why does this command: sudo cat gs_root.pem intermediate.pem > ca.pem give "permission denied" ? [14:34] yaboo, NP good luck [14:34] !info italk-client [14:34] what does chainloader use for ? [14:34] sipior, i just tried what you suggested, and its finished. a 120gb hdd is formatted to ext3 in 5 minutes!!? [14:34] Package italk-client does not exist in jaunty [14:35] nyaa: that's the one.. italk-client.. [14:35] der_On, is there a specific reason you wish to emulate it? You can always get hardware modifiers so you can install on a regular PC and make it into "hackintosh" [14:35] !find /usr/bin/ica [14:35] File /usr/bin/ica found in italc-client [14:35] perlmonkey: lookslike you do sudo cat, and then try to append... make a script with #!/bin/bash cat gs_root.pem intermediate.pem > ca.pem and call the script with sudo [14:35] sol93 ok thanks [14:35] perlmonkey: i am not sure, if that is indeed the problem, though. [14:35] sol93: tee might be useful for those things [14:36] slart it isn't a remote desktop sort of thing is it? what does it really do if I could ask? [14:36] Slart: there is a reason, why i love sudo -i [14:36] When I play Half-Life in full screen, the mouse movements are captured but the keyboard still sends input to one of the other windows. It's difficult to get the keyboard focus to the fullscreen window. Does anyone have a trick to make it work? [14:36] b3rz3rk3r: I need it to test applications/websites I'm developing on Mac OS X also. what are hardware modifiers? [14:36] sol93: yes.. I never really got the hang of "tee" but many of the tutorials use it.. especially when redirecting stuff [14:36] Is there anyone who familiar with Nvidia driver installation? [14:37] b3rz3rk3r: I need it to test applications/websites I'm developing on Mac OS X also. what are hardware modifiers? [14:37] Slart: ah, tee, now i remember... this little fella is useful [14:37] nyaa: I have no idea what it is... [14:37] lialie: System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers [14:37] sol93: how do you "call the script" ? [14:37] How can I get my ascii armoured pgp/gpg key? [14:37] nyaa: a chat system/application? [14:38] Where can I go to learn how to script Python and/or bash shell? [14:38] earthen, thanks [14:38] otacon122: #python and #bash [14:38] slart might be, I'm looking further into it [14:38] perlmonkey: if the script is in your current dir, you cant call it direclty, because the working dir cant be part of the PATH. You need to prepend ./
