[00:01] mdg: I did it, but the release keeps on 8,04 [00:01] there are no server administration gui apps afaik [00:02] dare: it doesn't but most people can't configure anything without gui helpers and gedit now [00:02] th0r, I get Linux WS-10247.fsckvps.com 2.6.18-128.1.1.el5.028stab062.3 #1 SMP Sun May 10 18:54:51 MSD 2009 i686 GNU/Linux [00:03] that's bad news bucky :( [00:03] I'm trying to install something from a PPA using these instructions: https://launchpad.net/+help/soyuz/ppa-sources-list.html , in step 2 of the authentication portion is keyserver.ubuntu.com literal or do I need to find a keyserver for the specific PPA?

But.....it sounds like jaunty was installed over something else, and that, of course, won't work [00:14] I could use some help determining why my system keeps freezeing, anybody has some good tips? [00:14] dezert: First... plug it in. Then see what happens... I am kidding. If you were using the restricted drivers from ATI/Nvidia, remove them first. then change the card. Ubuntu will tell you, if there are restricted drivers available again for your card. [00:14] So how might I solve this problem? [00:15] Brain: I'd power down and reboot for a start [00:15] minimec I was using nvidia drivers, how do I remove them? [00:15] Brain: i think you have a bad install [00:16] I have Ubuntu Server 9.04 with Apache. There are 3 directories but the directory index just shows 2 directory. Any suggestion? (I checked permission and all those 3 have same permissions, even with owner and creator) [00:16] dezert: There is a GUI for it in the System menu. 'Hardware Driver' or something. I am using a german version here ;) [00:17] Minimes, yes but when I go there it says that no proprietary drivers are being used [00:17] kbp: did you edit /etc/apache2/sites-available/default and comment out RedirectMatch ^/$ /apache2-default/ ? [00:18] hi. How can I use pulseaudio and alsa applications as the same time ?

It keeps freezing randomly. Does anyone have tips on how to determine the cause or maybe fix the problem? [00:18] dezert: Ok. So you don't use them. What Nvidia are you using? Maybe try to activate that restricted driver first, before changing the card. May be you don't want to change the card afterwards *rofl* ;) [00:18] bucky: I just check and there is no RedirectMatch during the config file [00:19] kbp: also it sounds like a virtual server config problem https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/serverguide/C/httpd.html [00:19] peij: You have to install the PulseAudio Settings Manager thingy (I think) [00:20] how do you have mutable backgrounds per workspace using compilz fuzion?

[00:21] bucky: I've just checked the log and there is no problem with config file (as it gives no error)... :D [00:21] komputes, yes [00:21] icarus: background wallpapers are images and do not output sound [00:21] komputes: I think he means multiple backgrounds [00:22] dezert: Probably not. Are you using Ubuntu 9.04 jaunty? Can you pastebin your /etc/X11/xorg.conf? [00:22] Flare183: even then, I do not understand the question [00:22] I need to install Winblows on my system. But there is no ntfs partition on my HDD at the moment. Is it possible to create a partition from Ubuntu and then reboot and install winblows on there? [00:22] If so what partition program is decent?

[00:24] dtchen: Unfortunately it doesn't work. I launched pulseaudio in verbos mode to track, and when i wan't to read a video in FF, it cuts alsa off [00:24] i use gnome [00:25] th0r, even if I add a NTFS partition? === dare_ is now known as dare [00:25] Dr_Willis: Small team [00:25] dtchen: I'm using kde, yes.

[00:28] dezert: So you have to paste the link here, so I can see it too ;) [00:28] toyimp: if you are considering a reinstall, you might want to do windows first, and then linux [00:28] icarus: with compiz you can do that, but gnome only allows for one desktop wallpaper by default [00:28] icarus: http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2008/07/28/stackswitch-and-wallpaper-plugins-with-compiz-076/ [00:28] peij: all KDE and Qt ones, yes [00:28] my kb is crazy help me [00:28] peij: (they'd fall back to direct ALSA) [00:28] th0r, yeah I've done that before.

[00:31] Brain, use the liveCD and just nuke it all again by ticking the "format" option when doing partitions [00:31] dtchen: ok, thanks a lot, see you in a few minutes :) [00:31] I don't have a livecd [00:31] Dr_Willis, yes, but it doesn't show any better option === fosa is now known as vices [00:31] shows up numbers instead of letters [00:31] if I install "Ubuntu Restricted Extras" will it kill my "FLASH x64"? [00:31] minimec: I do get a graphical login but with a low resolution [00:31] Hello, this is a bit of a longshot, but I thought I'd give it a try (##openbox is quite empty). I am using OpenBox window manager and what I'd love to have is a keyboard shortcut that would enable/disable the "Focus windows when mouse pointer moves over them" option. [00:31] i must hold up 'Fn' to get type [00:31] hey`, ? is the keyboard layout changed? in the keyboard preference? [00:31] hey`, laptop? [00:31] yes [00:31] Anyone have a tip for that?

[00:32] Brain: you can make a bootable flash drive with Unetbootin [00:32] hey`, hit it once, and see if it fixes it. You might need to do fn+nmlk [00:32] jdu you saved my life. [00:32] I'm using a remote server [00:32] it was that! [00:32] So I don't have access to it [00:32] VPS server [00:32] damn I hate my friends! [00:32] hey`, no problem ;) [00:32] Someone help me out there: http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/amd64/lib32asound2-plugins/filelist - Where can I find libasound_module_pcm_pulse.so 32bit? it's not in there =/ [00:33] now it comes out [00:33] it was only 30 seconds, and they did this to me! [00:33] dezert: I would open the synaptic package manager and check isf there are some nvidia packages still installed. search in the search function (not with quicksearch) for nvidia. [00:33] thank you very much jdu :) [00:33] the description of this package says it supports pulse but obviously it doesnt.. [00:33] is there any way to do a fresh install of Ubuntu without the livecd and I'm using a VPS server so I don't have access to it.? [00:33] dezert: There is probably something like nvidia-180-kernel-source ... ,) [00:33] Dr_Willis, I have no idea why. I was with hardy and everything was ok. But since i made a fresh install of jaunty on my root partition, I could never have the standard resolution [00:34] unetbootin [00:34] Brain, so what your saying is that you want to do a remote install of ubuntu [00:34] I'm installing Ubuntu from the alternate CD and I want to setup an encrypted partition. The optiosn for a key are either Passphrase or Random Key. I know what Passprase is - what's Random Key? Is it a randomly generated password I need to remember? [00:34] Basically [00:34] yes [00:34] minimec: yes there is nvidia-180... [00:34] Legendario: perhaps ya installed the wrong driver/version for your video card. theres nvidia-180 then some older/legacy version === stew is now known as paella [00:35] Brain, I'm 100% sure but i don;t think that is possable [00:35] is it possible to do a remote install of ubuntu? [00:35] dezert: remove all that nvidia stuff completly... [00:35] ok [00:35] MTeck, I am not sure, but I assume with a random key, the key would be stored somewhere and you would not have to type a passphrase. [00:35] is there any compatibility with paltalk in linux? [00:35] Dr_Willis, I installed the latest version available on my system: 173 [00:36] Brain, you would need someone to start the install at least far enough to get ssh up and running [00:36] Brain, then you could take over [00:36] Ok thank you. [00:37] dtchen: Ok, that works fine, thank you very much ! === yacc_ is now known as yacc [00:37] minimec, there's a package called xserver-xorg-video-nv , should I remove it too? [00:37] Brain, np but like i said I'm not 100% sure [00:37] i have a sound problem with skype, sound works but the level of the mic is so low that its almost impossible to understand me, i put all slides i could find in oudio mixer to full, is there anyithing i can do, its not a hardware problem, it worked fine in windows [00:37] dezert: No. That is the opensource nvidia driver. That one is installed by default. [00:37] Dr_Willis, done that with the restricted drivers tool. No mistake possible i guess. Can you help with the xorg.conf file and see if I can solve this? [00:38] dtchen: can I ask you a few more questions about pulseaudio and alsa ? [00:38] peij: np [00:38] peij: sure [00:38] hey guys i'm having a hard time installing new nvidia drivers...is there a simple how to?....whenever I launch sudo sh Nvidia driver name, it tells me that I have to exit X, is there an option to bypass this or do I have to be logged out of X? [00:38] dezert: After having deleted the nvidia stuff, open a gnome-terminal.. a simple console. [00:39] i've burned 4 cdroms on OSX with v9.0.4 and none are working when trying to install .. has anyone successfully burnt installation media with OSX? If so, what was the procedure? [00:39] Legendario: my xorg.conf is basically blank. Not sure how its gettting the info [00:39] Saruji: type init 1 then launch nvidia setup [00:39] Saruji, go to hardware driver iand select it from listn syatem/admin [00:39] jjg, it does not boot or you receive read errors when installing? [00:39] Minimec: ok, removed them and opened terminal [00:40] Legendario: heres mine. but its set for a nvidia 8800gtsxxx and twinview on 2 monitors. [00:40] if I install "Ubuntu Restricted Extras" will it kill my "FLASH x64"? [00:40] Legendario: pastebinit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [00:40] http://pastebin.com/f1ae87c3a [00:40] earthen I do and the ones that come with jaunty are having problems with my system using compiz, someone one here suggested that I upgrade to the newest drivers and that my gnome crashing was due to a known error [00:40] Xerran: if you manually installed the 64-bit alpha of Flash 10, yes [00:40] dare .. my first time i used a command line util in osx and it would start the install, but there were erros and the disk verification failed ... when I burn with TOAST it won't even boot and when i use disk utility i get "error reading boot cd." [00:40] dezert: Now we reconfigure the xserver to its automatic default settings. type sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [00:40] dtchen: basically, what is the difference between pulse and alsa ? why is alsa selected by default since it causes conflicts with pulse ? :s [00:40] Saruji, are you running 64bit [00:40] nightrid3r: so sudo init 1 sh NVIDIA driver [00:40] earthen: no [00:40] dtchen, will i then just have to reinstall it? [00:40] peij: pulse is a sound server that runs on top of alsa. [00:41] hi [00:41] Saruji, make sure you close out anything important before you do that! [00:41] Saruji, ok cause i had that problem running 64 bit ubuntu didn't find it and had to go back to 32 bit runs fine for me now [00:41] I just plugged in a USB mass storage device, and is shows up in dmesg, how can i tell what sd device it is? [00:41] peij: it augments alsa, providing extra functionality like the ability to set independent volumes for each application and being to migrate them on-the-fly to different sinks (where sinks can exist on separate machines) [00:41] Minimec, ok should I choose the defaults? [00:42] Saruji: init 1 will stop x, you'll probably have to login after that (not sure) then you can launch nvidia installer [00:42] dezert: Probalby yes. Even unusal, the 'gui' is quiet intuitive... [00:42] thanks [00:42] jdu ok sounds good thanks, earthen guess we'll see :) my newbie butt is totally new to this [00:42] Dr_Willis, mine too. Since XORG version included in intrepid, the x server is reling mostly on HAL to set screen resolution. xorg.conf file overput that but it is starting to get deprecated... but i've never had to touch on it [00:42] jjg, which disk verification? the one the iso burner performs? [00:42] dtchen: oh.. I still don't understand why alsa is selected by default then.. Pulse seems to be quite better ! [00:42] nightrid3r: k will do [00:42] Saruji, I'm pretty new to this all my self actully [00:42] peij, pulse has been historically buggy [00:43] minimec: ok done [00:43] dare .. no the ubuntu verification .. but that was when i used hdutil from the CLI .. i don't even know if is a proper way to do it ( was my first attempt ) [00:43] dezert: After having done that, you can logout and do a reboot, because the nvidia kernel modules are still loaded... I will have a cigarette break.. Godd luck ;) [00:43] peij: kubuntu lags ubuntu in the migration to pulse, which is deliberate === root is now known as Guest17962 [00:44] jjg, try to perform a verification of the disc against the iso in os x (i don't use it so don't know exactly how) [00:44] peij: the kubuntu developers feel that pulse is not yet ready (which is a sentiment i share, since the Qt/KDE gui bits are just now being developed) [00:44] Minimec: ok, i'll give it a try, thanks :) [00:44] dare .. setting that up now [00:44] jdu so.....after I did init 1, you were right yes it kicked me out of X, then I got a prompt to either 1)resume 2) run config 3)boot into root sheel<---- is this the one I should run? [00:44] jjg, then you can see whether it is fault with installer/setup or poor quality media (or burned at too fast speed) === jared is now known as Guest72311 [00:44] I'm having some sort of multimedia issue. I get little skips in anything I play, in any player, except when I mouse over (and it plays itself). It's entirely frustrating, and comes and goes-Some days it won't do it at all, but most of the time it's there. This also makes it difficult to diagnose. Any ideas or help on eliminating this? thanks [00:44] my monitor wont change res stuck in 800x600 [00:44] dtchen, jdu, thanks a lot for the explanation. [00:44] Saruji, yes [00:44] jdu thx [00:44] using ubuntu 8.04 [00:44] jdu here we go again :D [00:44] Saruji, when I install the latest driver for my 64 bit ubuntu i followed this How too http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=57368 [00:44] : ( [00:45] Guest72311: Is it a laptop or a desktop? [00:45] sweet thx === Julian-de is now known as Julian-off [00:45] dtchen: i've also heard about esound. Is it like pulse ? is it a good idea to replace pulse by esound ? [00:45] jjg, are you using cd-r/cd-rw? [00:45] dtchen: (sorry for my english :/) [00:45] peij: pulseaudio replaces esound completely [00:45] dare cd-r [00:45] Good evening! I need some help for bash. :( I am running a program on my windows partition and its path is supposed to be in a shell variable: $ program="/mnt/windos/Program\ Files/Application1/app \n $ $program $params $file Problem: However I encode the whitespace (plain " " or "\ ") and if I use single or double quotes - my shell always tells me that "...Program" or "...Program\" is not found - No such file or directory [00:45] jjg, it took me many burns to get the installer to work when i used cd-rw many years ago [00:46] what am I doin wrong :( [00:46] * jjg sigh [00:46] ok im a noob have a question im tweeking my install and i wana stop kde from saving a copy of every text i edit were do i find that preference i been searching net and files any help here [00:46] peij, some people use JACK which is better if you are _serious_ about your sound [00:46] jjg, try burning at slowest speed your burner allows [00:46] peij, but complicated for most people including me [00:46] dtchen: oki, but the fact that it's buggy scares me a little. [00:46] dare, ok thanks [00:46] jdu: beware the largely arbitrary and artificial distinction in that regard. jackd is for professional audio; pulseaudio is for standard desktop audio. [00:46] jdu: I don't think i'll try this then ;) [00:47] jjg, and perform verification of disc against iso right after burning to save yourself from wasting your time [00:47] dare .. ok, thanks [00:47] dtchen, good point [00:47] dtchen, I should be less assuming. using alsa and pulseaudio now atm anyway [00:48] jjg, or order install cd's and wait several weeks :-) [00:48] dtchen: last question if you don't mind [00:48] lol ok and one more time [00:48] ok im a noob have a question im tweeking my install and i wana stop kde from saving a copy of every text i edit were do i find that preference i been searching net and files any help here [00:48] I'm trying to open the Listening port for Transmission, i've setup port forwarding and still it says the port is close is there something else i need to do in ubuntu to open it? [00:49] dtchen: you said that pulse can manage sound outputs for each application, but kmix doesn't seam to offer this ability, should I install another mixer instead ? [00:49] phreak: you mean you want to stop 'kate' from making 'backups' ? that should be in the kate settings somewhere. [00:49] lb_: Your problem may be a simple typo hiding in the $program. Try "echo $program" and "ls $program". Reduce $program to a prefix part of the full path and try again. [00:49] earthen, when I had that problem I my firewall blocking that port. [00:50] dtchen: cause this functionnality exists under windows seven, and i really like it :) [00:50] ill look into kate thanks [00:50] Dr_Willis, can u help me on this task? [00:50] sexy-coder-girl, I don't have a firewall running other than the one on my router that i setup the port forwarding on [00:51] Can I pass a bash function to a script or command? e.g., find . -iname 'something' -exec FANCY_FUNCTION {} \; ? [00:51] Pass a bash function to a script? Like pass the output? [00:51] No [00:51] earthen, *shrug* [00:51] sexy-coder-girl, as far as i know ubuntu doesn't come with one by default [00:51] I mean, pass a function like you could pass a script to execute. So execute a function iinstead of a script. [00:51] synfin, clarify please? [00:51] earthen, what about iptables? :) [00:52] sexy-coder-girl, ok thanks I'm at a loss to atm :-/ [00:52] sexy-coder-girl, yes it there but it has no rules setup i think [00:52] sexy-coder-girl, by default, ubuntu uses ufw [00:52] Example. I want to use the -exec option of find. Normally I could pass it a bash script `-exec SOME_SCRIPT.sh {}`, and all would be dandy. But I want to pass it a predefined bash function, `-exec SOME_FUNCTION {}` [00:52] jdu, ah [00:53] minimec: I still have low resolution :( [00:53] sexy-coder-girl, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuFirewall [00:53] peij: kmix is only a mixer gui; it doesn't care what's providing the underlying mixer. in your case, pulseaudio is providing it (when in fact pulseaudio is just abstracting the underlying alsa hw:) [00:53] dezert: Can you pastebin your 'new' /etc/X11/xorg.conf? [00:53] sexy-coder-girl, I all ways thought ubuntu's way of having a firewall was just to not have any services running the were listening on any ports [00:53] Hi, I was wondering if it would be abad idea to transfer my hard drive with the Ubuntu OS over to a new ccomputer [00:53] earthen, I duuno, anyway, on a fresh install, what I did when I had that problem is `sudo apt-get install firestarter` then in its settings I allowed incoming to that port that Transmission uses. Not saying that *this* is why you're having problem; just saying that it helped me. [00:54] !ufw [00:54] Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Uncomplicated_Firewall_ufw), or 'iptables' (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo). GUI applications such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist [00:54] Legendario: ive not added any entries to xorg.conf in years.. when i last had to - i used some 'xmodeline' generator web site.. but im not even sure it generates proper x modeline info any more for the X versions out. [00:54] would I have compatbilitiy issues? [00:54] bacon1989, should be no problem [00:54] ok, i'll give that a try [00:54] Minimec: here it is http://paste.ubuntu.com/248924/ [00:54] bacon1989, ubuntu's default kernel is very generic and will manage just fine with a change. [00:54] I'm having some sort of multimedia issue. I get little skips in anything I play, in any player, except when I mouse over (and it plays itself). It's entirely frustrating, and comes and goes-Some days it won't do it at all, but most of the time it's there. This also makes it difficult to diagnose. Any ideas or help on eliminating this? thanks [00:54] awesome! i'm using server edition [00:55] thanks, stroyan. Trying that. The problem was in the space charactor of the folder name "Program Files". It is echo'd just right. ls is interesting: it says "cannot access /mnt/windos/Program\Files/Appli[...]" - there should have been an escaped whitespace though, I wonder what happened. :-O [00:55] any diff? [00:55] Dr_Willis, I am willing to try. Do you still have it's address? [00:55] sexy-coder-girl, ok thanks then maybe it is something i have to do in ubuntu [00:55] dezert: Ok. Now you are using the vesa driver. ;) [00:55] bacon1989, I don't think so [00:55] bacon1989, but I haven't experimented with that so much. [00:55] Minimec: is that good? :)) [00:55] dezert: Open F2 gksudo gedit [00:55] ok, thanks for the advice. I'll give it a try [00:55] dtchen: Oki, thank you again for everything, your help was very precious ! [00:56] bacon1989, with regard to moving hard drives [00:56] stroyan: No, sorry, that was just a typo. With the space after the backslash, it's the same with ls: "No such file or directory" [00:56] I'm having some sort of multimedia issue. I get little skips in anything I play, in any player, except when I mouse over (and it plays itself). It's entirely frustrating, and comes and goes-Some days it won't do it at all, but most of the time it's there. This also makes it difficult to diagnose. Any ideas or help on eliminating this? thanks [00:56] synfin, did you get your answer? [00:56] Then open the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. Attention! WE are 'root' now ;) [00:56] Minimec: ok [00:57] peij: np [00:57] Orange_v_Blue, what player are you using? You might try a different one. [00:57] jdu: No [00:58] dezert: In your pastebin in line 23 Driver "vesa" , do a '#' in front of it like in the first line '# xorg.conf (X.Org ...' [00:58] synfin, was the question whether it would work with a user defined bash function? or did I still not understand. If so, yes it should work [00:58] jdu: that's the thing, I have... Movie player, movie player w/xine backend, VLC, and amarok 1.4 (I downgraded) all do this... :/ [00:59] jdu: That is correct. Let me come up with a test on my box. [00:59] Minimec: where do you want me to do that? in xorg.conf? [00:59] jdu: for a while, switching worked, but then they each ultimately failed...for a while, killing a couple processes helped sometimes, but not always, and not anymore. [00:59] Orange_v_Blue, then I doubt I can help. [01:00] jdu: any ideas where else to look, in terms of search terms? I'm having a hard time with that part... [01:00] dezert: Yes. in xorg.conf '#' at the beginnig of the line 'Driver "vesa"' Like that, the line is ignored by the system... [01:00] Orange_v_Blue, you might switch away from pulseaudio or look around to see if there is a driver problem with your card (always possible) [01:01] jdu: no card, probably onboard (it's a laptop). I don't even know what pulseaudio really is/does... [01:01] dezert: Save the file like that, clode all software and simply logout. You should see an effect... I hope ;) [01:01] !pulseaudio [01:01] PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions [01:01] Hi [01:01] jdu: i'm not very good at media, so of course that's what's breaking [01:01] Orange_v_Blue, pulseaudio is a sound server on top of alsa that applications can use to play sound. === jabagawe` is now known as jabagawee [01:01] thiebaud: thanks [01:01] How do you X forward an application that is already open on a remote box? [01:01] Minimec: ok, i'll give it a try :) [01:01] Orange_v_Blue, np [01:02] Orange_v_Blue, you got your codecs? [01:02] thiebaud: I've gotta learn how to use that thing.... [01:02] thiebaud: ... good, bad, and ugly, or renamed equivalent? yes [01:02] zorba_, ssh -Y username@ip then appname & [01:02] it plays, it just plays crappy :-) [01:02] jdu wouldn't that make a new instance of the app?

Almost everything I have is mp3s. I should look at that more closely, though, that's a point I hadn't really looked at too close [01:04] anyone have a clue if this will work with ubuntu?

It bombs on a function call. [01:04] yea :/ vnc isn't as secure I have heard [01:04] Orange_v_Blue, so, video is a problem? [01:04] I can't find any information about what chipset it has and the online tech support had no information on it either [01:04] synfin, odd. what do you have after the command. is it {} + [01:04] thiebaud The actual video plays, but the sound will skip a bit sometimes [01:04] {} \; [01:04] mattwj2002... seems like a basic PCI usb card should be fine [01:04] jdu: {} \; [01:04] network manager inst detecting any of my devices after upgrade to Juanty [01:05] however i can connect to the net fine, and firestarter detects them [01:05] for the price I was thinking I would risk it [01:05] :) [01:05] lol yea [01:05] no problems mate [01:05] Orange_v_Blue, you on 9.04?

Now I don't feel so bad... [01:09] does anyone know how to autologin in karmic koala? the autologin options moved and gdm.conf-custom moved as well, which leaves me no gui or cli to set autologin [01:10] thiebaude I mean, it'd be preferable if it was fixable, but if nothing else, that's nice [01:10] Hey people !

[01:25] finga: please use "ubuntu-bug pulseaudio" [01:25] dtchen: i will send you the only one errors i got if i enter sudo alsa force-reload [01:25] xargs '{}' \ [01:25] markl_: what do you want to accomplish? [01:25] dtchen: how do i use it? [01:25] jiohdi, alt ctrl F7 [01:25] PerryArmstrong: in general that isn't true. Server and client don't have to run the same package versions. Most programs that communicate between systems e.g. ssh, nfs, ftp, samba interoperate happily across a wide number of versions (within reason). Your server could be bsd, windows, solaris, linux, any number of things & still interoperate... [01:26] Youre capten jack sparrow! [01:26] what's the easiest way to share files between 2 linux computers over LAN [01:26] Anyone here who can help with my installing of "Unreal Tournament (99, GOTYE) [01:26] MyNameIsLuca: so: find . -type f -print | xargs '{} [01:26] ' [01:26] ?

[01:26] finga: just type that command [01:26] antonius602 personally I like samba [01:26] :) [01:26] anyone help with me with a ntfs smb share problem. i can't get write access to the share? here's my forum post. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7742764#post7742764 [01:26] markl_: You should read about the -print0 switch in find's man page. [01:26] antonius602, Samba, SSH, NFS...there are lots of ways. I like SSH. [01:26] PerryArmstrong: so what version of ubuntu are you using now/ [01:27] bastidrazor, if something has locked up... how do I find it in terminal (alt-ctrl-f1) to shut it down? [01:27] hi, is there anyway to run wubi under windows 7 , and actually make it work with dual boot, I ve tried and it does`t show the dual boot, : [01:27] antonius602: depends on the requirements. Do you need to constant up-to-date accesss to each others files or just copy the occasional file between systems? [01:27] markl_: find /marks/directory -type d -exec chmod 777 -v {} \; [01:27] mattwj2002 : there really isn't a simple program, like setting up a windows workgroup? [01:27] dtchen i did [01:27] losher; that's cool....so i am installing the server for one main reason.....for package updations...like there's a concept that the server will cache locally all the packages..and when clients request the packages...the server it will be installed from the serve than from the internet [01:27] losher : constant access is what i'm trying to acheive..preferably integrated into nautilus [01:28] jiohdi, what something is it? if it is an application use ps aux|grep applicationname .. but what exactly is locked up? [01:28] markl_: makes all dirs have chmod 777 ... ("-d") ... use "-f" for files [01:28] hmmm [01:28] hi. is there a proper way to request a package update for karmic? [01:28] LLStarks: #ubuntu-motu [01:28] bucky; i use jaunty....we have a lab at college dedicated to ubuntu...we are running a GLUG and an FSF movement at our college [01:28] yeah I guess samba isn't that simple [01:28] antonius602: then your choice is basically samba or nfs. Someone else will have to advise you on nautilus integration... [01:28] but I think it is the best [01:28] LLStarks, You might also want to ask in #ubuntu+1 [01:28] how do i reset the file type associations in firefox to the default ubunt ones? [01:28] MyNameIsLuca: yeah i know how to do it with find, i just wanted to learn how to do with xargs [01:28] Savvy ? [01:28] bastidrazor, I was running firefox in wine and it locked up everything but the cursor, I could get to terminal but did not know what to do from there [01:28] MyNameIsLuca: so it won't exec a new process for each file [01:29] jrib: ok cool i'll look at that option [01:29] markl_: spawn [01:29] Or fork() [01:29] losher: i've done it before..but it was quite a pain...was thinking time had passed and somebody made a graphical program thats easy to use...thanks [01:29] losher, bastidrazor, jdu, can you have a look at this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1228878 [01:29] jiohdi: type 'ps ax | grep wine' and kill the process that is running firefox [01:29] ^for ur help [01:29] network manager inst detecting any of my devices after upgrade to Juanty [01:29] however i can connect to the net fine, and firestarter detects them [01:29] PerryArmstrong: if you run the same version of Ubuntu on client & server, then you can indeed update just one machine via the internet & then share the downloaded files among all the other ones.

Just install the ssh package and then use Nautilus to connect. [01:30] antonius602: sorry, I don't use the gui stuff. I believe samba shares can be set up via nautilus...

Running 8.04 on all machines would be a perfectly reasonable thing to do... [01:31] aboSamoor: no, i'm continually assaulted by irrevelant bugs ATM [01:31] jiohdi, yes it is gnome.. if killing wine doesn't help you could restart gnome with sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart [01:32] WOW, this channel moves fast. can anyone even see my question? mythconverg_restore.pl --change_hostname --old_hostname="XXXX" --new_hostname="YYYY" [01:32] !vnc > [gloom] [01:32] [gloom], please see my private message [01:32] bastidrazor, thanks...

AI A-O [01:50] I apologized for my lack of respect for the channel [01:50] learn [01:50] PerryArmstrong: I'm sure we've discussed this before. if you have 60 machines, people are going to download all sorts of nonsense on them: porn, music, p2p software. You want to be able to boot to a clean system easily. The way you do this is to have the boot image come from a server. Each time you boot, all changes go away and you get the box back to its original state. Internet kiosks do... [01:50] ...this between customers so each new customer gets a completely clean system... [01:50] I'm setting up a new system from scratch in the 9.04 alternate cd. I tried to setup an encrypated partition using a Random Key w/ AES encryption. I put everything except /boot on LVM in this partition. When I tried to boot it for the first time it got to busybox and died. I'm back trying to do the installation again to get it right this time. [01:50] jiohdi: Tis [01:51] jiohdi: How are you doing btw, ltns [01:51] HI. i have problems with a port forwarding. i want to build a XAMPP server accesible from internet, so i openet a port in my router (80) and redirected to my *.*.*.193 pc.

[01:51] losher; but then there's also one thing...the users may store their files like some programs like java, c, c++ etc....so those files must be secured [01:52] jiohdi: sure [01:52] <[gloom]> jrib: thanks man. I'll search for it [01:52] <[gloom]> bye [01:52] now i changed ip to *.*.*192 and i can have access to internet again, but the forwarding does not work because points to *.193 [01:53] on 9.04, my laptop won't autoconnect to my home network after I changed it to a hidden network [01:53] how can I activate video preview ,,icons /. [01:53] ,,? [01:54] hello everyone [01:54] :D [01:54] PerryArmstrong: if those files need to be stored, then you want them on the server too, so you can back them up easily. My point is, you don't want people installing trojans & keyloggers and lord knows what on the clients, and you don't want to have to go looking for them. One reboot, and the system's in a clean, known state, guaranteed. They can have local disks, but you don't want to keep... [01:54] ...any data there. It's just swap & temp space, nothing that needs backing up... [01:55] felix_: a lot of isps block port 80 [01:56] try and use a different port like 8080 [01:57] losher; so you suggest netboot??

[02:00] i would like to know how to do to make files into /tmp directory not to be removed after a reboot ? [02:00] thanks in advance [02:01] paissad-hp: why do you need that [02:01] hello guys, need a little help, just tried to update my Nvidia drivers, went into root sheel, did sh Nvidia driver, it said that it installed successfully, but after restart X failed to load,....help....How can I get to the log that could tell me what went wrong? [02:01] PerryArmstrong: to manage 60 clients without breaking a sweat, yes, netboot the same image onto all clients & keep no data on the clients. Mount filesystems from the server for user's files. Now the only thing you need to backup is the server, and you rebuild the netboot image with any new updates as needed (which shouldn't be that often, frankly. Only for major security issues). If any... [02:01] ...client ever has a problem, a re-netboot will bring it back to its original state.... [02:01] My machine hung while installing OpenOffice.

[02:01] mlester, i prefer removed files into /tmp manually, when i want, :) [02:02] that's what i'm used to proceed [02:02] Loup: You need to be on a different user to do it. If you have no other user, you can reboot and use the recovery console to do it. [02:02] losher; so where can i find all information for this [02:02] nobody knows ? [02:02] hello guys, any ideas? [02:02] Loup: Probably you will have to create a new user who also has admin rights. Then login as your new user and rename the original. Alternatively, create a new user with the correct spelling and delete your current username [02:02] Flannel: I created another admin account to try and alter it from there but it was still grayed. But you say I can do it from recovery? [02:03] Loup: you can, yeah. usermod and stuff. [02:03] #Ultumix [02:03] usermod -l login-name old-name [02:03] nobody knows ?

I just can't figure out which partition [02:07] I'm on a livecd, so it seems to be the livecd's "partition" [02:07] losher; so does this function perfectly with package updations.....and will it increase the load on server?

[02:10] yop ! [02:10] PerryArmstrong: during the booting of 60 clients I would expect significant load on the server. You could add a separate bootserver if necessary. You can put whatever you like into the netboot image, so it would be your choice what updates to make a netbootable image out of.

[03:14] idk but isnt it gonna force me to make a swap partition during the install [03:14] i want to kill you for having that much [03:14] haha new rig baby [03:14] vividLock: it will warn you about it [03:14] you can deny it, doing it manually [03:14] dont think its required tho [03:14] hmm, i guess if its required ill just make a 2gb swap or something [03:14] i'm capable of 16GB... but i can't afford it === fran is now known as Guest51429 [03:15] you guys operating heavy machinery or something with your comps? lol [03:15] newegg just bumped the prices down on a bunch of ddr3 1600 [03:15] haha styol, i just need to do a dont of CAD and PS [03:15] do a lot* [03:15] vividLock| i hate DDr3 [03:16] why is DDR more expensive than DDR2+ [03:16] ah gotcha yeah those two will do it, CAD i dunno but i can only imagine, PS i know yah [03:16] DDR2 4GB ftw [03:16] lol [03:16] CAD is 3d drawing and design stuff [03:16] indeed ive just never used it before [03:17] what packages do i need to install for a LAMP server? [03:17] PS is more fun imo [03:17] So just wondering how long should Ubuntu take to install on a fairly decent computer? [03:17] ive got mysql-server and apache2 and php5 [03:17] what else? [03:17] !lamp | damo1 [03:17] damo1: 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+) [03:17] damo1: That wikipage will get you up to speed [03:18] Frey:it took me about 3 hours [03:18] for me about 3 hrs [03:18] Oh then I guess it's doing alright [03:18] if your comp when into hibernation ,the install would too [03:19] Well im on the livecd, would that go into hibernate? [03:19] darrio1, did you get the php5 mods for mysql and enable apache for php [03:20] idk the default settings Frey, but if you came back and it was hibernating then probably [03:20] ive never looked at the settings tho [03:21] if its still going and sped back up now then you should be fine [03:21] well it's going up but I think it's really slow and I'm installing 32 bit when I would need x64 [03:22] hey guys, im havin trouble with updating pulseaudio, and its really annoying, would it be a good idea to just uninstall it [03:22] well does your mobo support x64? [03:22] its not just about how much RAM you have [03:22] it does I believe [03:22] which mobo? [03:22] I am having trouble clicking on the Adobe Flash Player settings in Mozzilla firefox. I dont remember this happening in windows which is why im wondering if its an ubuntu problem [03:22] p5ql-pro [03:22] http://www.google.ca/url?sa=t&source=web&ct=res&cd=2&url=http%3A%2F%2Fubuntuforums.org%2Fshowthread.php%3Ft%3D1004014&ei=xod7SpmUDY7WsQO79qDvCg&usg=AFQjCNHs4DQBj_pM0XycmURubVMebLFSPg&sig2=rJFLZp7jJBXYNTjxs_y6pQ [03:23] the problem is documented somewhat here [03:23] Any Ideas?

[03:24] e6400 is my cpu number and yes I believe its a core 2 duo [03:24] i think ng has to do with some sort of gui front end? [03:24] gnome related? [03:25] yeah Frey then it supports x64 [03:25] how do i removed applications from the 'Open With' list >.> [03:25] ogr3: I gnome... its got nothings to do with it [03:26] MyNameIsLuca: i want to learn how to program gnome based apps, you have any suggestions? any good development tools?

[03:38] stanley_: did you install any codecs? or just vlc [03:38] Not really familiar with edubuntu, but it seems like it would be geared toward kids younger than teenagers [03:39] .....also, any suggestions on getting my ubuntu client to use the printer that's shared off my windowz box? [03:39] install ubuntu-restricted-extras-stanly [03:39] i hate that pidgin thinks it needs to create two empty groups on startup...very annoying [03:40] how do i removed applications from the 'Open With' list [03:40] from synaptic package manager [03:40] <`Johnny> hellos [03:40] ctmjr i installed all the codecs and everythign they told me to on the ubuntu documentation page [03:41] my wife's netbook is running Ubuntu Netbook Remix, and it works quite well. We had troubles with this and that but we're down to just one problem. Any time she closes the netbook and then later opens it, her "hard" SD card pops open in Nautilus [03:41] and it sucks^ [03:41] ctmjr in totem it says i may not have permission to access this location [03:41] Westmi: when applications are removed, they still remain in the 'Open With' list... i ask how to remove entries from that list [03:41] <`Johnny> does anyone know how to burn an mp3 cd in ubuntu not in alphabetical order but more like artist/track order?thanks. [03:41] westmi, he doesn't mean remove the package, he means remove the link to use it when doing an Open with... [03:41] ctmjr and vlc just closes [03:41] hello ^^ [03:42] sorry.........havn't a clue........... [03:42] just wondering why its a big deal [03:43] westmi, pointless entries==wasted time scrolling [03:43] <`Johnny> does anyone know how to burn an mp3 cd in ubuntu not in alphabetical order but more like artist/track order?thanks. [03:43] ok, got it.....thanks [03:43] stanley_: first step make sure you are in the video group which more than likely you are in terminal sudo add user "user" video [03:44] <`Johnny> does anyone know how to burn an mp3 cd in ubuntu not in alphabetical order but more like artist/track order?thanks. [03:44] stanley_: should be adduser no space === openselcs is now known as mk3_1 [03:45] oh actually I just got it to work ctmjr...its working beautifully now...thanks anyway [03:45] `Johnny, pretty sure Brasero does it [03:45] <`Johnny> thanks lunix, i already have that installed to :D [03:45] stanley_: cool have fun what was wrong if you do not mind? === Nightw0lf is now known as Nightwolf [03:45] <`Johnny> lunis** [03:45] `Johnny, glad to help :) [03:45] Does anyone know how to fix the Thunderbird issue where it won't download all the messages and the network constantly disconnects? [03:46] So, I booted off a liveUSB in an eMachines, and I don't see the internal hard drive [03:46] /dev/sd0 is the usb drive [03:46] /dev/hda is the loopfs. Where could it be? === mk3_1 is now known as fj200 [03:47] how do i removed applications from the 'Open With' list :/ [03:47] hi guys [03:47] I have a quick question [03:48] http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812200373 [03:48] how to create power profiles like that of kde and windows to use on demand ie power save high performance balanced presentation [03:48] hey how do i remove the boot logo? [03:48] D3RGPS31, looks like you need to look into ~/.local/share/applications, and probably /usr/local/share/applications for desktop files... freedesktop has specs on how to properly write them, but if you just want to delete them, find them there...but be careful [03:48] if I take an sata drive and convert it to ide will I see a huge performance hit? [03:48] hey how do i remove the boot logo? [03:49] D3RGPS31: have you tried a terminal command of some kind? [03:49] Lunis: tank you :o [03:49] Does anyone know how to fix the Thunderbird issue where it won't download all the messages and the network constantly disconnects? [03:49] westmi: if i knew a command that was useful in this situation, i wouldn't be here [03:49] D3RGPS31, no problem, just took a little googling ;) [03:49] Google!? I use BING. xD [03:50] howdy, i'm trying to get the radeonhd driver to work on my hd3300 igp, but so far no luck. i installed it but it won't load automatically and i tried adding 'Driver "radeonhd"' to the device section but it didn't work. how can i get this to work? [03:50] If there's definitely an internal hard drive, but I don't see anything under /dev/sd* or /dev/hd*, what should I do? [03:50] * Lunis slaps the ever-loving crap out of D3RGPS31 [03:50] WHy does uubuntu 8.04.2lts not look at my friggin partition tables after I configure LVM underneath software RAID-5? Instead of creating /dev/md0(raid-1 hda1,hdc1,hde1 spare:hdg1) and /dev/md1(raid-5 hda3,hdc3,hde3 spare:hdg3), it just creates a /dev/md0 using raid-5, somehow using my entire drives (hda,hdc,hde spare:hdg) ? [03:50] hey how do i remove the boot logo? [03:51] aaron_, what do you mean by "boot logo" [03:51] D3RGPS31: go to the file you want to remove it from click properties the open with and remove or add what you do not want it is global for that file type [03:51] I am trying to learn about programs used for managing cell phones, do any of you have experience with them? [03:51] ctmjr: that would require me to do it to EVERY SINGLE filetype... [03:51] Lunis, the logo from ubuntu when you boot up [03:51] Programs like Wammu. [03:51] ctmjr: computers are suppose to be automatic [03:51] anyone have any ideas? [03:52] Lunis: it worked :D thank you [03:52] aaron_, i can only assume you're talking about usplash. why do you want it removed? most likely you'll `aptitude remove usplash' [03:52] Lunis, because is annoying [03:52] D3RGPS31, glad it did [03:52] i find myself intensly annoyed by a circle with some dots [03:53] aaron_, oh...right then. just remove the usplash package, it should default to a scrolling wall of text [03:53] the fix I found was to take 2B pencil and gouge my eyes out [03:53] ^true story [03:53] When I boot from the hard drive, it's there. But when I boot from the usb disk, "fdisk -l" shows me only the thumbdrive [03:53] aaron_, Simply remove the word 'splash' from the grub configuration [03:53] Does anyone know how to fix the Thunderbird issue where it won't download all the messages and the network constantly disconnects? [03:53] Guest51429, that would work but why have usplash installed but unused, right? [03:54] Lunis, To enable it later? :) [03:54] Guest51429, true enough [03:54] added bonus is it takes care of that infernal orange yellow circle that keeps appearing in the sky [03:55] my fonts in Qt4 apps sometimes get all smeared, screenshot here (Skype in this case) http://tinyurl.com/knsoxe [03:55] sometimes happens in VirtualBox too. I think that's the only Qt4 apps I use. [03:56] cellofellow, the fix I mentioned above takes care of all font related issues [03:56] <[[thufir]]> how do you monitor cpu temp? gnome temp thingamajig? plus...? [03:56] What FS does Ubuntu use? [03:56] and what FSes can it use? [03:56] WilliamC: by default, ext3. But you've got many choices. [03:56] dub: just joined the channel, so you'll have to repost the fix [03:56] WilliamC, any FS usable by linux [03:56] dub: Is there something we can help you with? [03:56] Which one is the best in your opinion? [03:57] WilliamC: ext3 is default, ext4 and xfs are also good options. [03:57] <[[thufir]]> my pc just restarted, is there a particular log file which I should grab now? [03:57] cellofellow, don't ask, his answer wasn't "real" ;) [03:57] Flannel, im fine thanks [03:57] dub: Alright, then please stop being offtopic, thanks. [03:57] I never even heard of XFS [03:57] WilliamC: ext4 isn't entirely stable yet. [03:57] so, what causes smudgy fonts in Qt4? [03:57] Flannel, I'm just looking for performance [03:57] is crontab automatically going to be set when my server reboots, or do i need to set something? [03:57] WilliamC, there's also reiser and jfs in the "popular" list [03:58] WilliamC: xfs is developed by SGI, originally the journaling filesystem of IRIX. Very fast with lots of small files. [03:58] when uninstalling older kernels in synaptic, should they be marked for removal or complete removal? [03:58] where is the default subversion when installing from repo? [03:58] So, I have to reinstall Ubuntu? [03:58] btrfs, of course, is the new hotness, fs-wise [03:59] is there any GM out there who can help me? [03:59] WilliamC, JFS is best for big files (i think), reiser best for average size, xfs best for small... you could partition your system to hell for peak performance, but that would mean you just want gentoo so why not just go with ext2 for boot, ext3 for the rest? [04:00] * cellofellow uses ext4 for everything and it's just fine. [04:00] Lunix, I just pieced together this computer from a computer that fell off of a UHaul and some spare parts a friend had [04:00] cellofellow: Yeah, I've never had ext4 fail, even a little. It's not exactly unstable [04:00] do any of you know the channel for compiz fusion? [04:00] I won't try beta Ubunutu though, last time I did it segfaulted on boot. [04:01] hi [04:01] WilliamC, no worries, i was just venting frustration from several years of recompiling the kernel anyway :P [04:01] So, ext4 is good? [04:01] Can anyone help me setup my video card ? [04:02] KittyBoots: it is #compiz [04:02] is kde 4.3 available on ubuntu / kubuntu ? [04:02] #ubuntu [04:03] WilliamC, yeah, ext4 is good [04:03] Hello [04:03] Can anyone help me setup my video card? [04:04] I'm shocked the hardware was undamaged after the case hit asphalt. [04:04] how do I logout from a user session in CLI? [04:04] Hello ? [04:04] hello [04:04] Hello ?

[04:21] does anyone know how to stop ubuntu from requiring a keyring password for 'nm-applet' everytime i boot up my laptop? [04:21] f2345 yeah something like that [04:21] hey guys i'm trying to packafge a program i dl from source. how can i know what are the dependencies since if i just compile it and it works it might be that i have everything needed, not that it doesn't have any dependencies [04:22] boobsbr, try driver from amd/ati, i'd suggest === TT is now known as Guest99915 [04:22] Hilikus_, good guess. you had everything on hand, it seems [04:23] boobsbr, try aticonfig --initial [04:23] hey [04:23] sos1: did you find a anything in the hardware driver in administration [04:23] f2345_: fglxr makes gnome unusable [04:23] f2345_: so how can i make that list? [04:23] has anyone used a PCI-express expansion chassis before? [04:24] Hilikus_, figure out easily, i don't know [04:24] SeaPhor: aticonfig is included in fglrx, which makes gnome unusable [04:24] is there any way to add a confirm box in nautilus and the general desktop when i press delete on a file? [04:24] checking now [04:25] hmm i keep figuring out my own problems. i hate asking :) [04:25] eh, it says no proprietary drivers are in use [04:25] bigdavejoker: my understanding is that you'd have to mount the vista partition in Ubuntu then share it via samba, then mount the share inside the guest os. [04:25] i cant find synaptic in my file system isn it supose to be in usr/bin [04:26] webbb: /usr/sbin/synaptic [04:26] fetusbubble: i think if i remember right click on the applet then the edit button a pop-up window should come up asking if you want to make the key-ring permission perminate [04:26] i got opera and flash working, it likes the adobe plug-in, not the synaptic version. where as firefox is using the other fine.. [04:26] how do I found out the /dev/ location of a mounted usb drive? [04:26] losher thanks! [04:26] sos1: doesi t give an option to install any if you click on it? [04:26] is it normal for the x64 bit plugin to be much slower than the one supplied through synaptic? being an x64 setup, it seems off [04:27] this wireless sucks damn it [04:27] NetEcho: run dmesg is a terminal & see if there is a message saying what /dev is being used for the usb drive... [04:27] NetEcho, just type mount if you know the mount location, you will see it there [04:27] ah ok [04:27] considering doing a manual copy to make my USB drive bootable for a ubuntu install or usb-creator [04:29] NetEcho: I thought that was what unetbootin was for? [04:29] didn't find a package to install under ubuntu for it so said screw it [04:29] umm, its in synaptic [04:29] Hello - I used rkhunter, and I found a few alarming things, I don't know if I should care or not, but there are a few things I'm not so sure to think about they are: /usr/bin/gawk and /usr/bin/awk [04:30] boobsbr, no, in a tty, in runlevel 3, running aticonfig --initial and then rebooting (ATI requires reboot for any/all graphics changes) will reset the basic ATi, but more important u need to find out what driver you are using, because ATI is working on their Linux drivers and is on public release 8.62.x (i'm on 8.64.x) [04:30] oh well usb-creator seems to work [04:30] sos1: is there an option to install the driver? [04:30] ctmjr: no such luck; i don't see anything that would make the keyring permission permanent [04:31] i don't see anything about installing anywhere, no [04:31] hello [04:31] hello [04:31] hello..

[04:32] yep usb-creator worked perfectly [04:33] shazbotmcnasty, i dont know what rikhunter is.. but seems some awk.. script failed [04:33] SeaPhor: i'm using xserver-xorg-video-radeon, from the default install. about aticonfig, it's only included in xorg-driver-fglrx, if i install it, it makes gnome extremely slow and unusable. i tried it once, and used aticonfig, but in the end i had to reinstall jaunty. [04:33] not in the hardware drivers window, no [04:33] there's nothing at all [04:33] sos1 driver for what? [04:33] shazbotmcnasty: it should be harmless to reinstall them from the repository if in doubt. md5sum them before & after to see if they were compromised...

I know the problem is cross Compiling" How do I fix that??? [04:58] what program can i use to record LPs to wav using ubuntu? [04:58] no, the player is free. then you just have to use workstation to make the VM, and you can do that on the 30 day demo, or you can even keep registering every 30 days and use workstation forever [04:58] Evet: I've never done server virtualization. I'm sorry [04:58] but once you make the VM you might as well switch to free vmware player [04:58] aaron_: when that screen's coming up, did you check the other tty's for more info? [04:58] savanny1976xpser: can't you just use myththemes from the repos? [04:58] aaron_: also, have you tried the "alternate text based installer" ?

[05:08] hellothor, there is a way to go from ubuntu to kubuntu [05:08] aaron_: when you start it up though, one of the options is to "check disk" [05:08] aaron_: something may have gone wrong durring the burn [05:08] cprevoe: as in verify disc integrity? [05:08] aaron_: yup [05:08] what could it mean if when you try to turn on desktop effects in appearances (clicking 'extra') it gives an error that says 'desktop effects could not be enabled' i just installed the nvidia restricted driver and it seems to be working (been playing 3d games) [05:08] cprevoe: yep i checked it and i ran the memtest, all came out fine [05:09] aaron_: ok. sorry but I'm out of ideas [05:09] aaron_: squashfs is above me [05:09] (for now) [05:09] anyone know if "empty trash" really deletes or leaves traces like windows?

[05:15] kjournald is running not based on any file but because it is built into my generic kernel? [05:16] That means i have to immediately create a custom kernel because i don't want to load useless programs! [05:16] sp0: if I remember correctly, the rc?.d in ubuntu are for show [05:16] spO: /etc/event.d contains the scripts (I think) [05:17] spO: it's been a while since I messed around with them, but there is a script that runs the respective rc?.d scripts [05:17] spO: and it's only there for backwards compatability [05:17] the stuff in event.d doesn't contain the scripts [05:17] Guest51429: If I just do apt-get install firefox-3.5, will it replace the existing 3.0 installation, or will it just create a second firefox? [05:18] kjournald has to be in the kernel because i did a grep kjournald * in /etc/ directory and nothing came up [05:18] anyone know a bit of regex? [05:18] the stuff in event.d just calls the scripts in rc.d [05:18] Guest51429: thanks, will that update when the time is right like normal afterwards? [05:18] carpediem: yes but there are some that arn't in the rc's, such as logd [05:19] cprevoe: perhaps, not sure. but rc.d is not just for show. IF you manually put something in rc.d it will run [05:19] Hi! quick question, Can I use a 8.10 cd to restore the grub on a 9.04 installation? [05:19] spO: try 'find /etc 2>/dev/null | xargs grep kjournald' [05:19] bef0rd: Yeah, you shouldn't have any problems with that. [05:19] RickZilla, Dunno, I stick to 3.0 for now [05:19] spO: it may be inside of one of the scripts [05:19] beatbreaker, Should do so, of course [05:20] carpediem: but it will only run because of the respective rcX script in /etc/event.d [05:20] cprevoe: yes, that's right. [05:20] cprevoe, how would tha tproduce anything different than grep kjournald * ? [05:20] Hey guys, I've got a SoundBlaster Live 5.1 installed on my system running Ubuntu 8.10, and I can't seem to find the file/stream totem movie player outputs its sound to [05:20] grep -R kjournald * i mean [05:20] cprevoe: but the respective script only is a loop that runs the contents of rcX.d [05:20] I've tried /dev/sound and /dev/dsp but neither work [05:20] spO: wont [05:20] mmm i know i probably have to change it from root [05:21] somehow it got reset to all root permissions [05:21] Guest51429: great thanks, i was just a little confussed that it didn't update like everything else should automatically, i'm sure the same thing is happening with my songbird too [05:21] Any ideas, anyone? [05:21] ill have to throw it on my debian box [05:21] carpediem: you're right, it's not just there for show [05:21] cprevoe: in other words, the scripts in rcX.d only exist in that place (though they are usually a simlink to /etc/init.d) [05:21] I just need to know where totem movie player writes to... [05:21] beatbreaker, No problem [05:21] how do i make my windows transparent like windows vista glass [05:22] murrine? [05:22] hello is someone there? [05:22] Can anybody help me ffs? [05:22] migg137: You can use Compiz [05:22] carpediem: right, but if you create a new project, should you be using the rc?.d or entering a script int /etc/event.d? [05:22] I actually have a legit problem other than some windows vista glass bullshit [05:23] cprevoe: actually, to do it right, you put it in init.d and run rc-update [05:23] ok thanks... chill [05:23] cprevoe: rc-update puts the appropriate simlinks in to /etc/rcX.d [05:23] but that's because rc-update is from the rc.d days XD [05:23] user111 dynup.net [05:23] Guest51429: it updated, but firefox still says it's version 3.0, do i have to change shortcuts too? [05:24] * cprevoe isn't really sure if the intention of /etc/event.d is to replace rc.d or not, I thought it was [05:24] migg137: if compiz is running, hold Alt while scrolling your mousewheel.

[05:28] Good suggestion, hold on I'll see [05:28] shazbotmcnasty: yes, but I have always had it installed and its never used this much before [05:29] carpediem: /etc/event.d is part of "upstart" ... it's goal is ambitious [05:29] timaeus-k, after i upgrade the system to 9.04 the problem arrive [05:29] cprevoe: ahh, okay, I've read about upstart. [05:29] Anyone know any reason why I might be getting 1/3 speed? [05:29] then I have no idea, when I upgraded to 9.04 I figured out that ATI dropped support for my video card, so Xorg took up all my cpu when I did anything, that's the only reason I know of [05:29] I'm a newb [05:29] cprevoe: but it looks like for the most part, upstart is just processing rcX.d entries based on the scripts I'm seeing. :/ === jono is now known as Guest64919 [05:30] Need help setting password on Ubuntu x11vnc [05:30] I usually connect at 180 KBps, but not it's like 50-70 KBps max. === Guest64919 is now known as zigibagido [05:30] *now [05:30] Need help setting password on Ubuntu x11vnc!!!!

It wont play .wma format musics, can someone help me here pleases? [05:36] c0nd0m, sorry i dunno [05:36] cprevoe: i also tried just psswd [05:36] WIGGMPk: exit 0 for success, exit for failure [05:36] I'm a newb [05:36] zigibagido: and what message did it give you? [05:36] Well atleast you helped. Thanks shaz.

[05:37] cprevoe: im confused on the difference.. how would I know if it fails? and if you have multiple commands in a script you only need one exit correct? [05:37] Okay so I have set up shoutcast fine on my box, and I have also installed a shoutcast broadcaster on my box [05:37] ok, i feel kind of embarrassed, but what configuration file do I need to change to switch to my old graphics (intel) drivers. [05:37] Now it can load files for the playlist [05:37] zigibagido: try /usr/bin/passwd [05:37] And it can also load streams when you prefix the path with DSP: [05:38] Now, I have tried just using [05:38] DSP:/dev/sound [05:38] and apparently no-one can hear anything [05:38] Any program to view .pdf in the console? FBI only displays the first page... :/ [05:38] i have also tried /dev/dsp [05:38] WIGGMPk: exit will leave the script regardless where you are, a 0 will indicate to whatever process [05:38] And neither work [05:38] WIGGMPk: running it that it was successful [05:38] And I mainly want to broadcast the sound output of totem media player === nabeel is now known as Guest84257 [05:38] from the console, how do I switch graphics drivers? [05:38] and when i do an lsof on totem AND rhythmbox [05:39] they both have this file open: [05:39] cprevoe: said: "passwd: password updated successfully" but still does not work. Does not promt for password while VNCing into computer [05:39] /dev/snd/pcmC0D3p [05:39] And that seems to be the only thing in /dev/ open [05:39] So yeah. [05:39] cprevoe: so exit 0 wont leave unless its successful? sorry im very new and im reading this advanced bash script PDF but have questions [05:39] Understand now, cprevoe? [05:39] WIGGMPk: this isn't really a ubuntu question, shall we talk in im's? [05:40] cprevoe: [05:40] cprevoe: sure [05:40] WIGGMPk: No, an exit code of 0 tells the operating system the task was successful and it exits [05:40] You can return any integer back to the operating system [05:40] anything but 0 means error [05:40] c0nd0m: I understand what you're asking for but the files in /dev probably just talk to the sound driver [05:41] is this something that can be done by simply re-installing the intel drivers? [05:41] hi, i am a new user, would like to check what's the root default's password? as i am not prompted during the installation for the password [05:41] Blah.

[05:48] zigibagido: open a terminal and type this command: man passwd [05:48] Read the documentation. [05:48] It will tell you. [05:48] c0nd0m: then what [05:49] Question: what do you call the thing which, when set properly, allows one to type "foo" at the command line and start program foo? [05:49] Then you read it again until you understand how you change your password. [05:49] Just do it, zigibagido. [05:49] bucky: I still have a problem. Not even my vt1 is displaying properly-- only a small portion of the screen is displayed in very large letters. It looks like i'm given a curses menu type thing, but I can't read it, or fill it in correctly [05:49] Wingless, the PATH variable? [05:50] Bash...? [05:50] I think that sounds right [05:50] k [05:50] I'll google for info about it and see if it's what I'm thinking of [05:50] thanks [05:50] np [05:50] c0nd0m: what do what [05:50] Wingless: the execute file 'foo' and the directory its in, in PATH [05:51] convergence1 i'm not sure what's wrong, see if you can edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and change the driver if the file exists [05:51] c0nd0m: he's done passwd, his problem's VNC's password [05:51] o. [05:51] Read the [VNC software you are using]'s documentation [05:51] Or google it [05:52] and restart the vnc software [05:52] I'm sure it isnt hard, dude. [05:52] that might be a problem. I guess i can use a rescue disk or something, because not even vt1 is displaying properly [05:52] zigibagido, type vncpasswd [05:52] shaxbotmcnasty: i did and it said command not found [05:53] ubuntu does a Scanning for low memory corruption every 60 seconds , by default right? i see it in my dmesg, is that very helpful or needed? [05:53] if youhave 4gb of memory, or is it needed for only low memory systems? [05:54] sp0 yes it would be necassary, dont fuck with it hehe [05:54] followed this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1130582 for intel graphics performance, now it seems the intel driver isn't even being loaded (as per glxinfo) any ideas??

[05:56] bullgard4, autostart.sh I thinky [05:56] but maybe that's not gnome... [05:56] shazbotmcnasty: said " Couldn't find package vncpasswrd" [05:57] there's a program that controls the autostart programs [05:57] /usr/bin/vncpasswd [05:57] copy and paste it [05:57] dont mis-type it. [05:58] shazbotmcnasty: Your answer is wrong. I do not have such a file, and still Pidgin started automatically this morning.

[06:01] c0nd0m: you might be able to do what you wanted with totem pumping sound through esd [06:01] He can read minds? [06:01] cprevoe: what does it mean? [06:01] cprevoe, no? whats esd? [06:01] :D [06:01] zigibagido: your path is fine, which means "passwd" should have worked earlier without the full path [06:01] zigibagido: something funny is happening [06:02] c0nd0m: esound or enlightenment sound daemon [06:02] zigibadigo: you should probably rm your root directory [06:02] kidding, kidding [06:02] lawl.

I've setup bind9 and made my zones according to the domain I own.

My mic port was working, and so was my integrated mic - I have the ALSA upgrade, and medibuntu - my mic stopped working all of the sudden. The only things that have changed since the mic worked is that I installed a few ftp client apps from add/remove util - anyone help? [06:20] I cannot get my cube effect on compiz [06:21] gladideg: You'll likely have to register your DNS servers with your registrar first - giving them IP addresses to match up to two hostnames, or something along those lines [06:21] firecrotch, ok I'll call them and ask about that. Thanks [06:21] gladideg: who is your registrar? [06:21] norwegian isp'ish [06:22] recommendation of a good launchbar for use with flux? ..wbar, pypannel? [06:22] why is "Scanning for low memory corruption every 60 seconds" needed? [06:22] anyone ever figure out a fix for the Frame laggy scroll in firefox? [06:22] gladideg: ah, in that case, I can't help you out much with dealing with them [06:23] firecrotch, my website needs to create/delete subdomains on the fly, so I though I run my own DNS on a random domain I've made. So I can have blabla.blala.mydomain.com [06:23] Instead of making the dns-pointers at my registars page. [06:23] manually [06:23] can anyone recommend a good DynDNS update client? [06:24] DerKlempner: ddclient [06:24] firecrotch: i thought so, thanks [06:24] gladideg: You might want to think about using a wildcard subdomain instead of creating DNS records for each subdomain you create. [06:25] can someone tell me why desktop effects works on my computers but then sometimes not? [06:25] oh well nobody has a fix for the framy lag when using scroll in Firefox? [06:25] gladideg: creating a dns record for dynamically created subdomains, even with low TTL values, they can still be cached for longer than you want by some ISPs DNS caching servers [06:25] can someone help me get my mic to work? [06:25] firecrotch, hmm, interesting. Good to know [06:25] sound recorder will record in high speed [06:26] it records 6 seconds per second [06:26] and doesn't detect a mic [06:26] Hi!

[06:27] I want " blabla.mydomain.com " as a CNAME record for a amazon server, which is something like this in reality: ec2-79-444-444-222.eu-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com [06:27] !browser | Drained [06:27] Drained: Browsers available for Ubuntu: Firefox (GTK, Gecko engine), Konqueror (KDE/Qt, KHTML engine), Epiphany (GTK, Gecko engine), Dillo (GTK), w3m (terminal-based), Links2 (terminal-based or graphical, see !man page), edbrowse (command-line), Opera (Qt, proprietary) [06:27] firecrotch, apache is thus out of the picture [06:27] Flannen, if firefox gives me "scrolling" frame lag would these? [06:28] sorry spelled it wrong flannel-* [06:28] gladideg: You could use apache's mod_proxy :) [06:28] Drained: I don't know, sorry. [06:28] firecrotch, does it work with other protocols than http and such? [06:28] ok thanks for the browsers anyway. [06:28] Drained, I only had that problem with bad video drivers [06:28] Can anyone point me to some basic Apache admin documentation on Ubuntu? [06:28] it's not my video drivers. [06:28] firecrotch, if so I'll read up on it. Just so I don't missunderstand u [06:29] with runlevel different scripts are ran? like at boot rc0.d files are ran and if someone logs in then rc4.d files are ran? [06:29] i can run compis-fusion with all the nice effects without any fps lag [06:29] anyone here have amd64 install of ubuntu they could test a package for me? [06:29] gladideg: No, unfortunately, mod_proxy doesn't handle other protocols [06:29] jumpkick: which package? [06:29] Drained, have you tried firefox 3.5 ? [06:29] that's what i'm on D; [06:30] corigo: http://mixxx.org/packages/1.7.0-amd64/mixxx_1.7.0-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb -- it's DJ software [06:30] http://www.reddit.com/r/funny/comments/98cho/bird_capercaillie_playing_soccer_dribbling_and/ [06:30] firecrotch, then the only way to go is using DNS records with low TLS and no cache if it works [06:30] lol [06:30] I just built it [06:30] ftp is uploading at 4kbps no matter what client i use - can someone help me? My connection is metered at 1mbps and I get 200k for torrent uploads. [06:30] gladideg: How often does the DNS records change? [06:30] Drained, k just trying to think of anything that might help out [06:31] gladideg: and do those changes need to be reflected instantaneously for ALL users? [06:31] firecrotch, it won't change often. But I will create new ones for my customers quite often. They will stick [06:31] I just bought a 1tb harddrive yesterday, that I put into a external enclosure, and when trying to mount it, it tells me that file cannot be mounted, using dmesg, it tells me that there is nothing in the partition table. How can I fixed this? [06:31] hi, I'm running 9.04, and I keep getting this "device descriptor read/64, error -71" upon inserting an usb _1.1_ device (at least it says it's 1.1 in the manual) [06:31] sorry, forgot to add, usb* [06:31] I've searched for fixes and they say stuff about "smooth scrolling" but that was never on so yeaah. [06:31] what is ubuntu upstart? [06:31] jumpkick: and what do you want to verify/know? [06:31] Drained, I have a 733 mhz system that don't do that scrolling lag so about any pc should be better [06:31] corigo: does it install, suck in all the required deps and run okay [06:31] im on a amd phenom II [06:31] gladideg: Oh, if you're just creating them often, and not changing where a certain CNAME points, then your solution should work [06:31] firecrotch, they won't change in theory. But when a new client get's a subdomain, I want it to work instantly. [06:32] hwo do you configure upstart? [06:32] hmm, i installed Epiphany [06:32] but i cant find it on applications.. [06:32] firecrotch, when I create a subdomain, will it be visible instantly? [06:33] firecrotch, I see no reason why not, but if you know? ^^ [06:33] gladideg: should be instant, pretty much [06:33] [Ubuntu 9.04] What file stores the names of programs that start automaticallly after a computer cold start? [06:33] firecrotch, great [06:34] Djnomad, and the odd thing is it's when my i use the scroll bar on my mouse the browser's scroll bar doesn't lag at all [06:34] I just bought a 1tb harddrive yesterday, that I put into a external enclosure using usb, and when trying to mount it, it tells me that file cannot be mounted, using dmesg, it tells me that there is nothing in the partition table. How can I fixed this? [06:35] Drained, so it only lags when you grab and drag ? [06:35] opposite.. [06:35] klown: -> fdisk [06:35] grab and drag = non laggy. mouse= lag [06:36] Drained, that kinda directs you to a mouse problem [06:36] nope, tried 4 diffrent mouses [06:36] 2 usb 1 wireless other not [06:36] wow lol [06:36] and 2 analog's [06:36] Drained: Do you have smooth scrolling turned on? [06:36] maybe its in your mouse settings ? [06:36] nope. [06:36] master_of_master: fdisk tells me it cannot open as well. [06:37] Mouse settings are default [06:37] anyway my keyboard's buttons are all tough and hard to press ima go take it apart to fix it cya. thanks for the help tho [06:37] [06:37] klown, I am having similar problems with a cell phone via usb [06:37] klown: are the jumper settings on the drive correct? Should be set to 'master' [06:38] MasterOfDisaster: yes, it is set to master. [06:38] klown: what does 'dmesg' tell you? [06:39] klown, have you tried lsusb to find it ?

[06:42] klown: just fdisk /dev/sdh [06:42] corigo: okay thanks [06:42] DJNomad: the results for lsusb are at the bottom of the pastebin [06:42] klown: you need to create a partition on the device prior to using it [06:42] ScottG: I think vlc is used to stream [06:42] spO: it's a sysvinit replacement, but existing init scripts are backwards-compatible [06:42] What am I doing wrong with trying to change to bash from tcsh, sudo chsh -s /bin/bash doesnt work [06:42] MasterOfDisaster: how do I do that? [06:42] roflparrot: vlc is awesome, you can find in the Add/Remove Programs [06:43] klown: see fdisk's manpage [06:43] thanks corigo, ScottG will be pleased [06:43] klown: you'd have to create a filesystem too after partitioning [06:44] MasterOfDisaster: reading the first two lines in fdisk "fdisk isnt designed for large partitions" [06:44] sysvinit is being relaced because of complexity? [06:44] MasterOfDisaster: would 1tb be considered "large"? [06:45] ....Yes [06:45] vox, does upstart replace rc.d?

[06:48] how can I install ubuntu server with just ubuntu-minimal, not ubuntu-standard [06:48] bullgard4: may depend on your DE for GUI applications, daemons are started via upstart [06:48] corigo: it should play MP3s... you'll have to launch it from the menu though, it won't associate with media [06:49] ScottG I am not the man to talk to there.

I just port scanned 27017 using the Shields Up website, and it appears to be blocked. So how come my computer received the packets at all?

[07:35] how do i make my windows (atleast the bar) transparent.. i currently have installed emerals but dont know how to use it... thanks [07:36] richardcavell: your ISP is not blocking port 27017 and it appears closed when you scan it because there is no service listening on the other end [07:37] firecrotch: No. There are 5 IPs.

[07:40] Guest74278: There are Quadro cards from nVidia that will do four monitors each [07:40] Guest74278: Or get a device from Matrox that allows you to span one display across multiple monitors [07:41] klown: that is not a good sign, all hard drives should appear in that list [07:41] Anyone have problems with a USB Audio Hub from Logitech? IE Funny noise buzzing etc? [07:41] Guest74278: But both options are way more expensive [07:41] damo1: I take that back, its showing /dev/sda doesnt contain a linux partition, but, isnt that normally the / partition?

[07:41] richardcavell: yup [07:41] richardcavell: Cost more than the systems [07:42] Guest74278: yep [07:42] klown: the root partition must be a linux partition or there is something wrong [07:42] Guest74278: Just put cheap cards in. Select the cards wisely, though. I have a mate who tried to use multiple cards and had nothing but problems. Some cards just don't do it well. [07:42] Guest74278: So choose a setup that's proved to work. [07:42] damo1: so /dev/sdb1 showing boot, and being a linux partition looks like my root partition, correct? [07:43] damo1: sorry, I just dont want to mess anything up, still kind of learning. [07:43] richardcavell: I plan on doing some gaming in VM you think the SLI setup will be effective inside a VM? [07:43] hey is there a how-to to converting my current partition into lvm2 [07:43] klown: go to www.pastebin.com and paste the output of "sudo fdisk -l && df" into a terminal [07:43] Guest74278: Jesus...

That means have two or more cards producing one display. Aren't you talking about just having multiple independent displays? [07:45] JBoss is a Java application server [07:45] :( [07:45] damo1: http://paste.ubuntu.com/249002/ [07:45] P_Kable, google knows [07:45] I get this error: HPMUDEXT could not be loaded.

[07:46] Guest74278: that's not SLI [07:46] Guest74278: Don't use the term SLI to refer to that. [07:46] klown: yes you are correct [07:46] damo1: thank you for your help :) [07:46] richardcavell: O ok I assumed SLI was using 3 cards in unison [07:46] a quick wtf. i was copying a file from my local filesystem to a samba share. network connectivity was lost during the transfer and it failed out gracefully via a notification. the problem? the file now exists ONLY in it's partial form on the smb share. the local copy was deleted. WTF? [07:47] nsgn: perhaps there's a temp file somewhere? [07:47] Guest74278: Is there a game out there that can span 6 monitors? Are you anticipating that it will perceive 6 independent displays? [07:47] nsgn: Was it a true "copy" operation, or a "move" ? [07:48] klown: what are you actually trying to achieve? [07:48] @amsg~$ Goodnight :) [07:48] firecrotch: why should there be? i was simply doing a drag and drop [07:48] if dragging and dropping to a samba share is a "move" that isn't a safe move under ubuntu....that's horrible [07:48] Guest74278: SLI is scan line interleave. It means that one card produces the odd-numbered lines, and the other card produces the even-numbered, or if you have three cards, they split the screen up 3 ways. Nvidia calls it scaleable link interface for legal reasons. [07:48] damo1: well, now that i know the drive im looking for, im going to create a partition, and format it. [07:49] even in "move" situations, the original should only be deleted upon success of the transfer. this failed out gracefully so ubuntu had the chance to know it failed and should NOT have performed deletion if it was indeed a move [07:49] * BitTorrent is away: Linux forever. [07:49] nsgn: I agree [07:49] however, most OSes treat a drag and drop operation to a non local filesystem as a copy unless specified otherwise [07:49] Guest74278: So you can double your frame rate by getting two cards. It might be cheaper than getting one card that's twice as good. Or you might do it for the very best cards, for which there is no more expensive option. [07:49] OMG I just found cairo-dock. what an awesome dock system [07:49] !away > BitTorrent [07:49] BitTorrent, please see my private message [07:50] so seriously, what the hey went down here? it was just a backup file i was transferring, fortunately...but it really harms my trust in ubuntu for the first time. i've never straight up had a file blown away like that [07:50] richardcavell: Hmmm I never thought about game support I just assumed if I maxamized a VM and had a game running it would just run at full possible resolution [07:50] richardcavell: Gaming isn't a main concern of mine I will get 3 mid-range cards [07:50] nsgn: I recommend filing a bug report on it [07:50] !g download ubuntu [07:50] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [07:51] Guest74278: The VM still runs in a window [07:51] hello I recently got a new machine and cant afford a sound card at the moment i have a set of logitechs usb speakers but when i go to use them it makes a loud noise that sounds like a popping sound........If i run it on windows no noise but since i am using ubuntu (I like it sooooooooo much better than windows except for this problem) is there a way to get em to work right or am i doomed to be stuck using windows xp forever :( [07:51] Guest74278: You could span your desktop across 6 monitors and then make the VM window wide enough to fit across all 6 [07:51] i guess i'm just surprised to find such a bug in ubuntu. i'm a new, as of about two months, user. it's been solid and reliable. i use it for business on my laptop. is it really unpolished enough for such an obvious and common thing to lack simple protective measures? [07:51] Guest74278: But that would mean the VM is in a non-standard resolution. You'd need to make sure your Guest OS can live with that [07:52] that should be elementary in the train of thought of whoever's writing the move functionality. if it doesnt move fully, by god don't go nuking the original! [07:52] nsgn: It's very likely that it's an issue that only occurs under an obscure set of circumstances [07:52] richardcavell: Ya that is what I was invisioning, trial and error I think that'll be only way to tell, I'm salvating at the though for 6 screen driving sim :-p [07:53] nsgn: Can you try to reproduce it? [07:53] Guest74278: I'm not sure that it will work the way you want it to [07:53] firecrotch: i'd hope so, for their sensibility's sake, however i'm on a pretty freaking standard setup. unmodified installation of 9.04, samba server proven reliable [07:53] firecrotch: i've gotta sleep now, but i'll do so tomorrow. will take overnight to re-generate my backup archive anyway [07:53] Fileserver, webserver, chatserver, mailserver... what other sort of server functionality would be neat to play with? [07:53] Guest74278: Your driving sim would have to be able to support multiple monitors, or else you'd have to be able to manually change the viewable arc and produce a very high resolution, then manually span the VM across monitors [07:53] during install of ubuntu, fstab shows linux was on /dev/sda..now, its showing on /dev/sdc1..why would it change? [07:54] nsgn: mind if I PM you? [07:54] firecrotch: go [07:54] klown, from what i understand, that can change like if your bios selects a different drive to boot from, that type of thing [07:55] well shoot :( i cant find anything on the net about this prob that works for me oh well no audio for me lol [07:55] klown, no personal experience tho [07:56] can anyone suggest a distro that works with the acer aspire one d250? thx, jayson [07:56] richardcavell: I seen Doom running across 9 screens I think I can figure it out when games come [07:57] Guest74278: Carmack writes his software so that you can manually change the viewable arc etc [07:57] Guest74278: Even Quake 1 allows you to modify all kinds of parameters to allow multiple monitors etc. [07:57] I miss q1 day's [07:57] richardcavell: I just have to fine some cards now, who is Carmack I haven't heard of him [07:57] used to be in a q1 clan [07:58] richardcavell: iD Software Carmack? [07:58] Guest74278: John Carmack is the guy who programmed Doom 3. I'm saying that he writes his software so that you can manually change the viewable arc. [07:58] Guest74278: yes [08:00] hello. I have that VLC,Totem,MPlayer Bad Alloc error. I can't find out where to fix it. The stuff online is all for old distros...why is this recurrent problem how do I fix this [08:01] richardcavell: Thanks atlease now I know ubuntu supports the setup [08:01] Guest74278: choose your brand wisely too [08:01] Hello Everyone ! Any good Twitter Client for Pidgin ? [08:02] Guest74278: NVidia drivers are excellent but they're not open source so some people have philosophical problems with that [08:02] is there a command I can do to end a program without using a PID [08:02] duckwars: killall [08:03] richardcavell: I would prefer open source, but that doesn't give me much choice when it comes to preformance [08:03] will that also kill the program running on another user? [08:03] How do I get more privileges? [08:03] richardcavell: Do you know any brands that are open? [08:03] duckwars: It should only kill the processes that your user has permission to kill - i.e. those that you started [08:04] Guest74278: Well you can get open source drivers for NVidia [08:04] is there anyway i could remote into my ubuntu box from my vista laptop [08:04] I'm trying to install Firefox into root and I don't have root privileges. [08:04] richardcavell: Just not the offical ones? [08:04] I tried running killall rtorrent and it claims "rtorrent(17639): Operation not permitted" [08:04] duckwars: try with sudo [08:05] wizzer: graphically - VNC; command line: ssh [08:05] hisham: I would but I'm going to use it in... scriptish type thing [08:05] Guest74278: the official ones from nvidia work the best but are not open source [08:05] Guest74278: there are open source ones programmed by people outside nvidia [08:05] alright, thanks [08:05] Guest74278: Your alternative is ATI. Nvidia and ATI are the only brands worth considering [08:06] richardcavell: ATI just barely relased an update to OpenGL plus bad driver support I'ma stay away from them [08:06] I'm an Nvidia fan. I've tried both. It's Nvidia's driver support that has me hooked. [08:07] Hi, packages.ubuntu.com are down again... [08:07] Let me put this better. I want to be able to type one word at command, like "rtorrentquit" and have it quit rtorrent. I know I make a little pico file in my ~/bin/ but I'm not sure what to put in it. I don't know how to kill a process with some kind of static ID. Process and job IDs always change, correct? [08:07] nikolam: Not for me... [08:07] duckwars: You can use killall [08:07] killall -9 [08:07] nikolam, loads fine here [08:07] richardcavell: Ya, do you think I would be better off running windows native apps in Wine or VM? [08:08] duckwars: Use ps -e | grep torrent< or what ever process name> [08:08] i'm trying again to have an application (sok onboard) always on top of firefox in full screen mode, how to do it on gnome (devilspie doesn't work with fullscreen applications) [08:08] just in trying it in comand line i put killall rtorrent and it responded with "rtorrent(17639): Operation not permitted" [08:08] so I think I need to sudo, which I can't do in the "script" thing [08:08] duckwars: killall -9 [08:08] duckwars: You must have -9 [08:08] duckwars: To force kill. [08:08] -9 gives me permission? [08:08] ok [08:08] or maybe.. sudo? :f [08:08] duckwars: Use ps -e | grep torrent< or what ever process name> to get the PID [08:09] without -9 operation is still permitted <: [08:09] If you want games, check with appDB. Wine is very hit and miss. And you need good graphics drivers. I'm on an Intel chipset and the drivers have sucked pretty bad until recently [08:09] Somehow my system (9.04, 32-bit i386) seems to be spinning down the HD, and as I'm scrolling for example down a page in FF, it sounds like it spins back up, and stalls the system while it does so. Any way to watch when it is/isn't parking the drive? [08:09] DaZ-: Try with sudo before :) [08:09] so sudo and -9 [08:09] Theoretically, a VM should work way better. But you're trying to get it to do things outside the norm, and so don't be surprised if it stuffs up. [08:09] I know how to find the PID the problem is I'm tryin got make a cron that restarts rtorrent at certain time intervals. I just need a command that will kill the process without a PID and without sudo permission [08:10] doesnt a vm hog resources? [08:10] because in my ~/bin I don't know how to make a command shortcut that sudo [08:10] as I can't put in a password then [08:10] its like a virtual os taking its share of hardware resources [08:10] I'm trying to get bluetooth dialup to work by using the ubuntu bluetooth dialup guide, but when I reach the command "sudo /etc/init.d/bluez-utils restart" there's a problem - I have no /etc/init.d/bluez-utils ! I do have bluez-utils package installed. What is wrong here? How do I proceed? [08:10] hmmm, thanks bazhang , firecrotch where are you from? [08:10] Q_Continuum: ya it happens wiht firefox ,upgrade to firefox 3.5 [08:10] yo anyone know how to fix this X11 ever that kills all the video programs vlc/mplayer ...some update just broke it a while back, I installed in like june. I don't see anything on how to fix it online, everywhere says its fixed in update but its not [08:11] This also kill a process with a specific name: [08:11] richardcavell: Only problem with VM when it comes to games I just read VM video doesn't utilize your hardware and the graphic is simulated [08:11] try export PATH:$PATH /home/ [08:11] kill -9 `ps -a | grep | grep -v PID | awk '{ print $1 }' | tr '\n' ' ' && echo ""` [08:11] nikolam: I'm from Wisconsin, USA [08:11] holy crap [08:11] duckwars: try export PATH:$PATH /home/ [08:11] gaming in a VM sounds awful [08:11] It will output an error, but it's not correct. [08:11] damn [08:11] Guest74278: Virtual Box can do Direct3D and OpenGL [08:11] firecrotch, I am from europe, serbia, belgrade [08:11] huh? [08:11] k00l [08:11] I'm Swedish :) [08:11] Ehm, strike that.... [08:12] Guest74278: You're really better off just installing Windows natively. [08:12] * Ileden goes to bang himself in the head and shuts up... [08:12] hi all [08:12] duckwars: RELAX [08:12] Ileden, im from CA :P [08:12] hahaha [08:12] richardcavell: A: VirtualBox simulates a basic VESA adapter, so your Guest has no access to the advanced features of your videocard. This includes everything that has something to do with 3D acceleration, including the Special Effects of Compiz on Linux. DirectX dependant games will not run. [08:12] NOTE: Since VirtualBox version 2.2.0, Linux Guests can use OpenGL. You do need a Host that is capable of OpenGL. Most Intel onboard graphics are not capable of OpenGL on Windows Hosts, and use Software Rendering in Linux Hosts. [08:12] Also, if you use OpenSource drivers on your Linux Host, Hardware Acceleration is probably not (yet) available. [08:12] Guest74278: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:12] What is a VM? It creates a virtual environment of another operating system? [08:12] FloodBot3: ... [08:12] how I can upgrade from 8.04 to 9.04? [08:12] kottizen, it won't let me just enter that in command, and says operation not permitted === Kimbote is now known as rtfm [08:12] Hi, does anybodu know how to adjust vim, so that % will skip commented lines? [08:13] I'm sorry, but wha tis the word for a small text file in a directory like ~/bin/ so that I just type a word at prompt and it does the command in the file? [08:13] richardcavell: I use Linux for my personal time, gaming is very rare for me so maybe just make a 2nd partition for them and save my self the grief [08:13] duckwars: Then you must be admin to exit the process. Make a file called "bye_torrent.sh" and put the code into that. Then put the file into /bin. After that, type this in a terminal: sudo bye_torrent [08:13] duckwars: A shell script [08:13] duckwars: 'sh'? [08:13] ahh okay, they are officially shell script [08:13] I will try what you say kottizen, and thank you all [08:13] Guest74278: yeah if it's easy enough just install Windows. I'm on a Mac so installing Windows isn't as easy as it sounds. [08:14] My Jaunty boot time is not quick. [08:14] Kottizen, pidof is much clearer [08:14] Can you run Oblivion in Ubunutu? [08:14] duckwars: Shellscript is .sh, like Microsoft Batch is .bat. [08:14] It's actually preferable to simulate ordinary hardware rather than present it with the real thing [08:14] DaZ-: Ok. Never head of it, explain :D [08:14] ... [08:14] Is there a way for me to fix my boot time? [08:14] richardcavell: Ya, you got parallels use it\ [08:14] And Virtual Box can do OpenGL in Windows guest on Linux host. I've done it. [08:14] !pidof [08:14] Sorry, I don't know anything about pidof [08:14] Actually Jaunty is running like crap [08:14] That thing you pasted is out of date. [08:15] richardcavell: It's in VBox Faq lol [08:15] 8.04 is good. It have the thuings you want, and no bloat. [08:15] I had 8.10 [08:15] I liked it [08:16] huh? [08:16] wat probs? [08:16] richardcavell: I think I'll save my self linux troubles and dual boot for when I want to gamel [08:16] I can't have it, because my grapthic card is buggy there. [08:16] Guest74278: good call [08:16] [Ubuntu 9.04] What is the recommended way to terminate (shut down) the Pidgin program? [08:16] Sometimes 9.04 freezes and boot time is almost eternal [08:16] I was playing Half-Life in OpenGL mode on Windows in a VM on Linux. [08:16] bullgard4: Click "File" > "Exit"? [08:16] but can it run crysis? [08:17] bullgard4: Or something similar. [08:17] Guest74278: But I have to because Windows 7 reportedly doesn't like Mac hardware much, and Apple hasn't come up with its own driver support for Windows 7 [08:17] Guest74278: If you have a regular PC that was built for Windows, then just install Windows for crying out loud [08:17] mbullgard4: kill it from system monitor if it doesnt shut down on using the exit button [08:17] windows 7 is neat [08:17] richardcavell: I love Win 7, this is a custom PC [08:18] Hello, anyone can help me regarding flash player? [08:18] whats the price of windows 7? [08:18] I like Windows 7 too. And I hate Windows Vista with a passion [08:18] haf1z: i can [08:18] lolç [08:18] indus: It's free during the beta period [08:18] haf1z: what is the problem [08:18] indus: can u hlp me to install flashplayer plugins [08:18] Kottizen: There is no 'File' > 'Exit' or something similar. [08:18] haf1z: Flash player plugin for Mozila? [08:18] richardcavell: yeah but its 3 gb download :) i will buy it soon [08:19] i already dload the adobe flash player and try to install using package manager..but error wrong architecture i386 [08:19] yes Hisham [08:19] bullgard4: Buddies -> Quit? [08:19] haf1z: thats because you are using a 64 bit OS [08:19] haf1z: type about:plugins in mozilla [08:19] oic [08:19] haf1z: whats the output of uname -a in a terminal [08:19] then, do you have any solutions? [08:19] uname -a [08:20] bullgard4: Any "+" on the top-right? [08:20] haf1z: indus GOOD CATCH :D [08:20] richardcavell: And about using windows, it makes sense if my work takes place on windows, but majority of my work is on Linux, so it makes sense to use it as my base system [08:20] Linux h3llst0rmMAC 2.6.24-24-generic #1 SMP Fri Jul 24 22:15:50 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux [08:20] Or, in the status bar, rightclick on the icon and pick "quit" or "exit". I have never used Pidgin, so I just guess :) [08:20] In ubuntu 8.04 it give me "No new release found" , any idea? [08:21] which svn clients u guys use [08:21] haf1z: download the 64 bit flash from here,then follow my instructions :) http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/flashplayer10/libflashplayer-10.0.32.18.linux-x86_64.so.tar.gz [08:21] haf1z: cat /proc/cpuinfo [08:21] indus: hey [08:21] koolhead1: hi [08:21] Hisham: that command stand for what? [08:21] how have u been? [08:21] Anybody else interested in Chrome? I could never surf the web without my adblock, but the new plugin functionality might bring adblock to Chrome. [08:21] koolhead1: iam fine.you are? [08:22] Ok, this time a real question... I just got bluetooth dialup working (yey!), but I have to run "sudo pon BluetoothDialup", to get it. Running the command without sudo says taht "only members of the 'dip' group can use this command". However, I just added myself to the dip group and the message persists... [08:22] koolhead1: i mean do i know u? [08:22] indus: koolhead1 == whoami [08:22] :P === William__ is now known as Guest52229 [08:22] The question being - how do I give myself privledges to run the "pon BluetoothDialup" command [08:22] indus: download complete for the file u ask me to dload..then, whats next? [08:22] haf1z: so downloaded? and extracted the file? [08:23] yeah that's what he asked, who are you? [08:23] haf1z: now do sudo apt-get remove flashplugin-nonfree [08:23] Hello, more of a *nix question but I didn't know where to go. Can anyone help me or direct me to a better irc (or let me email the question?) [08:23] libtech: That worked. But that means that Pidgin has been strangly programmed. [08:23] hi [08:23] generic, use chatzilla [08:23] winners use chatzilla [08:23] hello [08:23] generic: this is a good enough irc depending on the question [08:23] indus: ok, moment pls [08:23] roflparrot, fail [08:24] ha ha [08:24] my keyboard is working in gnome but not in kde [08:24] thank your rofl* [08:24] can anyone tell why ? [08:24] my wifi on my acer aspire one has stopped working, can someone help fix it? [08:24] Hi, i'm having trouble allowing myself permission to write on my harddrive. i've read over the community documentation on fstab, and I think i've followed it carefully but something seems to be missing. I still cannot copy any file onto that harddrive [08:24] do I need to restart the machine to make a new script put in /bin work? [08:24] what the hell is going on with sound on ubuntu? why do I have both ALSA and OSS plus the pulseaudio wrapper library installed, all of which are fighting with each other? [08:24] indus: extract done on desktop the file is libflashplayer.so [08:24] duckwars, no [08:25] haf1z: aah gtg see u later [08:25] I've spent about 6 weeks fucking with my sound settings and still occassionally I will start an application and digital output will cease to function until a reboot [08:25] I have a script that I edited and it doesn't run the new script when I runt he script [08:25] haf1z, ~/.mozilla/plugins [08:25] i tried logging in and out [08:25] haf1z: move the libfralshpayer.so to the hidden mozilla folder plugins [08:25] can we come up with a standard configuration? like pulseaudio + alsa and no oss? [08:25] Hi, there, I cannot re-install slapd after I uninstall it by apt-get, [08:25] haf1z: create the folder plugins under .mozilla then move it there [08:25] or let's jump on the oss bandwagon and go whole hog OSS [08:25] well? [08:25] dpkg: error processing slapd (--configure): [08:25] subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 [08:25] Setting up ldap-utils (2.4.9-0ubuntu0.8.04.3) ...

Currently it gets mounted to /media/disk - but I'd like to see it under /home/user. It also very annoyingly pops up a file manager each time after suspend/resume, because it has "detected" a new media...

[08:48] ox: a hard drive. a Hitaichi Deskstar 500gb internal harddrive [08:48] waieez: UMOUNT not "UNMOUNT" [08:48] hisham: aha! [08:49] waieez as Hisham told you, umount and check options you set it when you re-mount it ! [08:49] hisham: it says wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda1, missing codepage or helper program, or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so [08:50] ox: i told waieez to set the options in fstab to umask=000 [08:50] waieez u need to specify the type using -t option [08:50] I'm building a server for home use, are Dells or Lenovo easier to find Linux drivers? [08:50] ox: and how do i know what type it is [08:50] waieez: sudo mount -t /dev/sda1 [08:51] rfreiberger, both are just as hard to find drivers, it just depends on how new those machines you are looking to buy and put ubuntu on [08:51] help my ububutu just crashed [08:51] waieez: wait [08:51] waieez using sudo fdisk -l [08:52] help my ubunutu just crashed [08:52] gp_will_be_back, how did it crash? you have to be more specific [08:52] gp_will_be_back, then get it back [08:52] ox hisham when i used the -t command this long chain of stuff came out. [08:53] waieez: try sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/sda1 [08:53] ox this is what fdisk -l spits out if thats what you wanted /dev/sda1 1 60801 488384001 83 Linux [08:53] hisham, i did and this long chain of stuff came out [08:53] while boot it says : unable to mount /dev/disk/by-uid/d125634 blah blah on /root failed invalid argument [08:53] waieez, do you know what filesystem it originally was? there are many types of linux filesystems [08:54] what does it means [08:54] waieez: strange [08:54] gp_will_be_back, sounds like you messed up the bootloader, what did you do last? [08:54] err not boot loader just the bootup params [08:54] psycho_oreos: i'm not sure but. i formatted as ext3 [08:54] waieez you fromat your /dev/sda1 as what file system ? [08:54] ox: ext3 [08:54] waieez, you could try mount -t ext3 /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1 (if sda1 directory exist in /mnt) [08:55] err sudo [08:55] nothing much i was working on it ...when my laptop battery went down ...so it shutdown after that i am getting this error :-( [08:55] waieez sudo mkdir /mnt/waieez ; sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/sda1 /mnt/waieez [08:55] waieez: sudo mount -a :D [08:55] gp_will_be_back, you didn't do any kernel updates?

[08:56] how do i boot it again [08:56] nothing much i was working on it ...when my laptop battery went down ...so it shutdown after that i am getting this error :-( [08:56] gp_will_be_back, hmm, not sure if I have dealt with this personally, but you will need to use the ubuntu's install disc (it should have recovery mode) go into that, you will be dropped into console, and you will need to fix up the initrd and/or kernel.. not easy imo === moncky_ is now known as moncky [08:57] ox hisham i modified the fstab as /dev/sda1 /media/extra ext3 auto,umask=000,user,rw 0 2 === root is now known as Guest51476 === Guest51476 is now known as Keiffer [08:57] why 2 passes? [08:57] gp_will_be_back: can you boot the live cd and mount the HDD and then browset o the paper and save it to usb drive? [08:57] psycho_oreos: please tell me i will do it .... [08:57] gp_will_be_back: Try booting to a liveCD. I doubt your data's gone. [08:57] ox instead of the directory you told me. i did sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/sda1 /media/extra [08:58] ox: i cant create a folder with rightclick so i assume i still dont have permissions [08:58] i ran the live disk ....its displays disk as single 60 gb disk but cant mount it [08:58] gp_will_be_back, more like: boot off a live cd into a consol and rerun grub to fix the bootloader [08:58] waieez it mount on ext3? [08:59] Good morning! [08:59] which option i choose when i am booting from live disk ? [08:59] ox: media/extra i believe [08:59] Morning! [08:59] I don't think its the boot loader that's at fault, its more like missing or broken initrd [08:59] 'try ubuntu without affecting your computer' or soemthing like that [08:59] waieez, did it return any errors or did it return you back to the prompt? [08:59] I have a ssh server i want to connect to. i have both the privkey and pubkeys.. but i can\t connect [08:59] waieez i meant when u did sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/sda1 /media/extra ( it work but ur problem can't write on the drive)? [08:59] psycho_oreos, couldnt he do a update-grub to fix it? [09:00] salve [09:00] Question: I wouls like to create a xx.sh that opens up my openvpn. the command I would like to add is "sudo openvpn myopenvpnfile.ovpn" it all works exept the sudo command. anyone know how to run sudo in script please? [09:00] would* [09:00] btw I was using jaunty jackass jakolope ...latest version of ubuntu or something like that [09:00] ox: yeah i could mount. that wasnt the problem. the problem was i couldnt make a folder on my drive [09:00] lol [09:00] oldude67, could but judging by the error I sorta doubt it.. I could be wrong.. I mean its gotten more confusing with uuid nowadays and intermediate initrd [09:00] I haet Jaunty [09:00] waieez, you probably need to add extra lines like users, etc [09:01] psycho_oreos, i hear you there. [09:01] jaunty isn't bad but hey I'm on xubuntu [09:01] psycho_oreos, i tried that and i dont think i got any errors [09:01] hi! I have installed Gtk-gnutella, but I don't know a peer for connect me, anyone can help me? [09:01] waieez ah ok try sudo umount /dev/sda1 and try sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/sda1 /mnt/extra -o defaults 0 2 [09:01] waieez: i know i am stupid but try this :D sudo chown /media/extra [09:01] waieez, if you didn't get any errors, you could then use mount |　grep extra [09:02] chown would probably need extra params [09:02] waieez: oh dont try it is is a stupid thing [09:02] ox hisham psycho_oreos: !! okay. let me try ox's first [09:02] oldude67, heh it used to be the days of either grub at fault and you won't even see grub menu or the kernel and/or initrd with kern panic and what not [09:02] I have a jaunty live disk .....i booted from it and pressed f2 after that which option i choose [09:02] I have installed Gtk-gnutella, but I don't know a peer for connect me, anyone can help me? [09:03] ....does anyone know how to fix Xserver as to not crash all video players.. [09:03] Hisham, imo its not, I did that on mine with extra params as root and I could at times create new directories via normal user [09:03] hello room [09:03] gp_will_be_back: to boot the live disk, click on 'try Ubuntu without changing.....' or something like that [09:03] should i choose F4?

[09:07] shoaibi: come on of-topic [09:07] In general is it considered safe/stable to upgrade from one major version of Ubuntu to another? I know it is doable and instructions are posted. I just want to know if there is an advantage to doing a clean install. I'd prefer proof/example than a simple yes/no. [09:07] gp_will_be_back, not sure of the boot options off my head but there should be a recovery method, you could try using the "try ubuntu without installing" option === Guest56470 is now known as Krstnsn [09:07] ox: okay. i decided to change directories since you keep saying /mnt/extra and now. i cant find my drive [09:07] yeah i did that [09:07] i am logged in [09:08] waieez, mount| grep sda1 [09:08] what after that [09:08] ox: well to be precise. i can see it in that directory but it doesnt appear on my desktop [09:08] any1 know how to compile dungeon crawl with like, message logging [09:08] how do i fix the grub now [09:08] gp_will_be_back, its a long process umm.. you will need to mount your partitions and then do chroot [09:08] gp_will_be_back install it [09:08] gp_will_be_back: you do not log in with a livecd, anyway browse to your file after mounting the hard drive and find your paper ad back it up [09:08] bazhang : http://i28.tinypic.com/6xrw5h.png [09:08] or that [09:09] My javascript just stopped working (ff3, ubuntu 8.04), And I can't figure out why.

[09:09] ecolitan, scp [09:09] ecolitan: look up scp for that task, instead of cp [09:10] fdisk -l shouldn't need anything to be mounted, amirite? [09:10] ecolitan: only if you have a network share mounted [09:10] ecolitan, you have to mount it first then you can use cp [09:10] gp_will_be_back can't see mount things there! u need to use mount to check or /etc/mtab [09:10] do i need gcc installed to edit messages.cc?

[09:24] oh ok [09:24] gp_will_be_back it's on the default one you install ubuntu? [09:24] gogeta1, even when i run any application that needs to save a file into /home, it says that there's no longer enough space for saving files :-( [09:24] I will look at the man [09:24] ty [09:24] yeah aptitude is possible but slightly less user-friendly :) [09:24] its ok [09:25] waieez !oups [09:25] aptitude is very user friendly [09:25] I need to learn the tools not just a front end gui [09:25] just simply run "aptitude" [09:25] someday I will may not have gnome for some reason [09:25] waieez use sudo chmod 755 -R /dev/sda1 [09:25] lol [09:25] yeah the terminal is handy [09:25] Question: I would like to create a xx.sh that opens up my openvpn. the command I would like to add is "sudo openvpn myopenvpnfile.ovpn" it all works exept the sudo command. anyone know how to run sudo in script please? [09:25] paissad-hp: hunn sounds like you didnt set the lvm correctly did you make the home partation lvm on both drives [09:26] waieez: your persmission are all right [09:26] gogeta1, both drives ? [09:26] I have a netbook with Ubuntu Netbook Remix, and I have a static SD card in it to give me more storage. Currently it gets mounted to /media/disk - but I'd like to see it under /home/user. It also very annoyingly pops up a file manager each time after suspend/resume, because it has "detected" a new media. So the question is, how do I make a specific card/slot alway mount into a specific location? Is this even possible? [09:26] can anyone halp me [09:26] gogeta1, i just have one drive [09:26] paissad-hp: yes you set both partations as lvm [09:26] Hisham his permission brw-rw---- root disk ( others don't have any permission)! how he can create a file ? [09:26] waieez: cd /media/extra and then touch a.txt [09:26] ox hisham, still says i can't copy my file [09:27] Can anyone help me? I'm having trouble accessing my files after someone told me to do 'sudo dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/sda2'. Everything looks garbled now.. [09:27] gogeta1, which drives ? [09:27] ox, why not chown $user:{$user's group} [09:27] paissad-hp:oook why are you using lvm on a single drive [09:27] hello [09:27] hisham: permission denied [09:27] psycho_oreos: ox yes [09:27] you'll need to do it as root [09:27] psycho_oreos if he want also can do it [09:27] Kepc: That's because you overwrote stuff with garbage data. [09:27] waieez: brb [09:27] Kepc: lol [09:28] Flannel: is there any way to get my data back? [09:28] I dunno, that's the way I did it.. or another way is to create a directory and set that as user's and user's group for ownership [09:28] anyone read my question ? it should be a real easy cracker. just need one word on what to add to my script. [09:28] how to enable compiz in ubuntu 9.04 on s3 chrome? [09:28] I was told ubuntu was secure.. it's kinda upsetting that I can wipe my system with one command [09:28] Kepc: Not really, no. If you just started, you can stop it and potentially get your stuff back that wasn't overwritten already. [09:28] kepc: and what command is that? [09:29] anyone? [09:29] Kepc you did it [09:29] gogeta1, i have two lvm partitions, one for /home and another one for saving my work, ... btw, knowing that i have one hard drive, it's useful when the system crash , i won't lose my datas, excepting when the hard drive crash itself :-) ..... [09:29] waieez: Please don't. [09:29] waieez or do as psycho_oreos told you change the own of group or user ! either to change the other permission! [09:29] Kepc, hehe I uninstalled gdm here the other day. thats what you get for being a noob :) [09:29] paissad-hp: you whont lose data on a home partation eyther only onj / [09:29] ox: how do i do that? [09:29] E: samba-common: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 [09:29] E: samba-common-bin: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured [09:29] E: nautilus-share: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured [09:29] E: smbclient: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured [09:29] E: ubuntu-desktop: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured [09:29] haanuj: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:29] Kepc, lets say its a long learningcurve hehe [09:29] Kepc well u did sudo dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/sda2 so you do that [09:29] paissad-hp: i mean /boot [09:30] haanuj, use pastebin next time please [09:30] !danger [09:30] DO NOT RUN THAT COMMAND That particular command is DANGEROUS and shouldn't be uttered here. REST OF YOU: DANGER, WILL ROBINSON, DANGER! Do not use the command or utter it here thank you! [09:30] ox: only because someone in here told me to do it earlier [09:30] they said it would help defragment my drive [09:30] because it was running slow [09:30] Kepc: When was this? [09:30] beefheart, you could probably set the script file as suid so it'll be executed as super-user [09:30] I dunno.. a few hours ago? I left and let it complete, and now things aren't working [09:30] psycho_oreos: how does one do that? [09:30] gogeta1, it's true if i keep the same distribution, but if i change the whole distribution ... i would need to erase the / directory :) [09:30] paissad-hp: and you would lose data on lvm being the datas shared on 2 drives you will losse some of it [09:31] psycho_oreos, what would i need to do ? [09:31] psycho_oreos, never done it before [09:31] pietro_: I guess you are looking for an equivelant of rpm -q for debian, however I cant see options for that that in dpkg, apt or aptitude [09:31] i would like to know what the killswitch is. so as not to ever type it [09:31] Kepc you should always look up commands before you run them [09:31] waieez chown waieez:waieez /dev/sda1 or either change the other permissions [09:31] paissad-hp: you can move /home bewtween distros [09:31] Kepc: Alright, please troll elsewhere, thanks. [09:31] sorry, you just pwnt by the internet [09:31] waieez chown waieez:waieez -R /dev/sda1 [09:31] gogeta1, that's what i do :-) [09:31] Flannel: ? === Julian-de is now known as Julian-off [09:32] paissad-hp: so you dont need lvm [09:32] somebody help !!!!!! http://dpaste.de/BVSC/ [09:32] paissad-hp: that ment for fuse 2 sepret drives [09:32] Hey guys, since the mysql channel dont gives me an answer I ask you pros. I want to connect to mysql through terminal, but use another port. Usually >>mysql -u -p, but now i want to connect to port 3307 how do i do? [09:32] hello [09:32] gogeta1, gogeta1 i need lvm because sometimes, i use much more space ..... :) [09:32] Whats the command you can hit on the keyboard to change between desktops on ubuntu [09:32] Kepc: No one in here has told anyone to do that in the past 24 hours. Please be respectful and don't waste our time trying to cause trouble. [09:32] paissad-hp: kinda like raid0 [09:32] I just deleted the top panel on Ubuntu. Now I want to add the tray system to bottom panel but I dont know what it called from the list. Does anyone know how to? [09:32] psycho_oreos, : how do i set the scriptfile as suid ? [09:32] Ctrl Alt arrow [09:33] beefheart, chmod u+s [09:33] beefheart, was googling it up just then: http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/Applications_GUI_Multimedia/SUID_HOWTO [09:33] thx rofl [09:33] Flannel: maybe it was in a different channel.. I'm not sure to be honest [09:33] no probs, bro [09:33] but I assure you I am not trolling [09:33] beefheart, the whole script doesn't need to be in super user right or it does? [09:33] ox: wouldnt let me [09:33] psycho_oreos, thanks allot. google gave me allot of strange posts. I must be asking the wrong questions :) [09:33] paissad-hp: so make a big /home partation you dont need alot for /boot just enough for all the programs you isnstall [09:34] waieez why? what did it return?

Ubuntu doesn't recognise my Graphics card. Pls help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [09:34] thanks psycho_oreos that is relevant to my interests [09:34] Kepc: You generally shouldn't do sudo commands haphazardly. Even with windows, you can easily break things, it's actually harder to do in linux (assuming you don't use sudo, windows doesn't even require that). [09:34] gogeta1, how can i solve this ? [09:34] roflparrot, nw [09:34] ox: chown: changing ownership of `/dev/sda1': Operation not permitted [09:35] hi to all [09:35] guys, vr used lots of exclamation marks, let's help [09:35] moncky : basically I need ao [09:35] ops [09:35] beefheart, well not really, that command was part of a script [09:35] I meant [09:35] waieez did u use: sudo ? [09:35] Flannel: do you think there is any chance at all of recovering my data? [09:35] paissad-hp: i relly dunnoo lvm isnt ment to be on the sane drive [09:35] i've a issue with Xorg, when i try to log how users I get later GDM Out of range, but if I log with root works fine [09:35] Kepc: Some people are idiots and like to break other people's machines for "fun", there's nothing we can do about that, and we do actively police it in here. [09:35] why? [09:35] thank you forlparrot [09:35] beefheart, in other words it you only need to find relevant lines suitable for your scenario, ignoring the rest [09:35] Kepc: That entire harddrve has been overwritten by random data. [09:35] hey is anyone in here on tmobile? [09:35] I need something to see the current packages installed along with version of packages and relative candidates ù [09:36] something like pkg_info on fbsd [09:36] ox: okay it went through. [09:36] Krstnsn I am on tmobile [09:36] waieez worked? [09:36] ox: no [09:36] ox: should i unmount/remount? [09:36] you meant umount [09:36] that [09:36] puffkronik, is your phone working? mines messed up and the rep told me that the network is down. but i dont beleive her. i think my phone is jacked up [09:37] waieez, you still haven't solved that problem? what did you do last? [09:37] rotlparrot any idea how to fix the card [09:37] someoen can helpme? [09:37] paissad-hp: as i said thers some parting setups for single drive multi distro /home parts without the need for lvm [09:37] yes my phone works [09:37] that lieing mother.... [09:37] vr, it should under hardware drivers, maybe under System in the menu [09:37] ok thansk [09:37] need help with wring a command, something like this "find -type f -name '*.rar' -exec cp ...." i need to copy all found files into a directory, how do I do it? and by copy i mean copy the hard data, not create symbolic links [09:37] psycho_oreos, ox, I tried changing ownership. the command chown waieez -R /dev/sda1 went through. but i still cannot write a file to that disk [09:37] writing* [09:38] waieez is ur log name waieez ? [09:38] psycho it is not that i haven't installed the drivers [09:38] ox: yes [09:38] waieez same to grp sudo chgrp waieez -R /dev/sda1 ! [09:38] Ubuntuissue, you've set the resolution too high.. umm not quite sure how to go about on that, probably somewhere in rc settings of your home directory would be the first place I'd look [09:38] vr, so you have installed the drivers but? [09:39] ox: umount now? [09:39] .96xxx nvidia driver is the compatible one and I've installed it but......the X takes only the motherboard's built in graphics port [09:39] need help with writing a command, something like this "find -type f -name '*.rar' -exec cp ...." i need to copy all found files into a directory, how do I do it? and by copy i mean copy the hard data, not create symbolic links [09:39] dumont: find . -type f -name '*.rar' -exec echo cp {} somedir \; # and remove the 'echo' if you like the output. [09:39] the resolution it's ok, supported by screen, and why works with root and not with user? === fran is now known as Guest87011 [09:39] pietro_: try aptitude search * | grep ^ [09:39] i've checked the bios settings it is put to Agp out [09:40] what does {} do? [09:40] dumont: find -type f -name "*.rar" -exec cp -t "/path/to/destination/" {} + [09:40] vr, meaning that it's still using the onboard chipset? [09:40] dumont: it gets replaced with each found file name [09:40] yesss very much [09:40] ox: interesting. i cant umount the drive from terminal [09:40] vr, did you try to disable the onboard video graphics? you might need to revert back if things go awry [09:40] geirha why do you have + at the end vs prince_jammys's \; [09:40] waieez because either you are using it or u didn't use sudo umount [09:40] what does \; do? [09:41] paissad-hp: oh did you install lvm2 after you installeed ubuntu [09:41] waieez, you need to be super user, eg sudo.. and you must not be in the mounted partition/directory at all that's related to that mounted drive [09:41] dumont: + passes as many args as possible to the command. ';' runs the command once per found file. [09:41] ox: ah good call [09:41] gogeta1, of course, yeah [09:41] ox: had window open [09:41] dumont: but for that, he had to reverse the order of the cp args with -t [09:41] ox, did you solve that problem with modules.dep? [09:41] yess i have disabled the onboard graphics in bios level. is there any hardware method pls [09:41] Hi! I Have a most bacis SMB mount issue but I cant work it out on my own! I have mounted a remote shared folder on my home network, but whenever I create a folder in that share I dont get write access to it...

[09:44] vr, I'd try and see if both chipsets are visible via lspci, if so I'd try to blacklist the un-needed one.. reboot and hope that it should boot into x with vesa mode for the nvidia [09:44] paissad-hp: thats what sucks abought lvm thers no real good guides [09:44] pietro_: yeah so it does [09:44] prince_jammys what does "." do in your string find -type f -name '*.rar' -exec echo cp {} somedir \; [09:44] ox : sudo fdisk -l ->> output ->> http://paste.ubuntu.com/249102/ [09:45] find . -type f -name '*.rar' -exec echo cp {} somedir \; [09:45] ^ corrected [09:45] i got an error this morning when i started up my computer. hardware-monitor got an error and couldnt start. according to dmesg its because of a segfault in libstdc00. i also no longer have transparency in my gnome-terminal and my firefox bookmarks bar is gone. this is all vert wierd. does anyone know what might be causing this? [09:45] gp_will_be_back ok , let's try to re-install Grub [09:45] ox: how to restore [09:45] oks how [09:45] gp_will_be_back first let's take your data [09:45] vr, if both chipsets are available under lspci.. lspci -k will give you the drivers/modules that are running [09:45] pls tell me how to blacklist if both modules are there [09:45] paissad-hp: like i wanna set it up on my eee so when i put a sdhc card in to auto expands my space like xandros does so far no docs guids or hints [09:45] dumont: you can omit it. it means the path to start with, ie. '.':the present directory. But find defaults to that if you omit it.

[09:46] pietro_: let me go ask in antoher channel, I dont actually know but would like to [09:46] vr, you need to look at lspci -k.. assuming that your built-in is via video chip, there might be a via entry in lspci and lets say lspci -k outputs via chipset using via_video, you need to use your favourite text editor and add blacklist into /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist [09:46] dumont: the path to the dir that find will look in. [09:47] or better yet.. echo "via_video" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist [09:47] err [09:47] paissad-hp: i dont knoe why ubuntu unr lacks it [09:47] echo "blacklist via_video" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist [09:47] paissad-hp: i knoe its some lvm hack [09:47] !blacklist [09:47] To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist and add « blacklist » to the end of that list - To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type « sudo update-initramfs -u » [09:47] ox psycho_oreos hisham: current ls -l /dev/sda1 is brwxr-xr-x 1 root disk 8, 1 2009-08-07 02:00 /dev/sda1 [09:47] how do you force a fsck check on boot?

[09:48] gp_will_be_back, mount -t ext3 /dev/sda2 /media/mydisk [09:48] psycho_oreos, please lead me through it again, im sorry [09:49] waieez, no, if you did it correctly, the ls output would be different [09:49] does anyone know if it is possible to reinstall libstdc++6 without messing my whole system up? i guess removing and then installing is not an option? :) [09:49] gp_will_be_back after that go to /media/mydisk and take out ur data [09:49] waieez, what's your login name and group?

[09:53] so I wont bother again [09:53] pietro_: also dpkg -l \* will show installed and uninstalled [09:53] thanks a lot :) [09:53] can you give me a sample command [09:53] psycho_oreos: chroot: invalid option -- 'R' [09:53] yup [09:53] pietro_: np at all I actually didnt know how to do that on debian systems [09:53] pls tell me how to black list [09:53] its saying ......... wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda1 [09:53] is it in /etc/modules [09:53] should i try with ext4 ?

(do id as normal user) is the last relevant thing you directed towards my issue i think [10:01] waieez, no I said: [10:01] psycho_oreos uhh it said the directory did not exist. i figure i never acutally entered the chroot environment [10:01] hey cna i discuss my technical issues regading my hardy here..??

[10:05] my doubt is only1 ... that should i use my window driver only to install thr driver in ubuntu 8.04 [10:05] ?? [10:05] psycho_oreos it changed my lost and found folder. but i still cant write outside of that folder [10:05] Hello. [10:05] shreymech, and why are you using older ubuntu for? [10:05] Hi, guys, quick question. [10:05] What file stores the entry 'pidgin' so that my Ubuntu 9.04 computer calls Pidgin automatically after a restart? System > Preferences > Startup Applications does not include a 'Pidgin' entry. [10:05] bczz its the stable one [10:05] waieez, hmm ok, create a new directory/folder and chown that.. [10:05] psycho_oreos, i dont want to be picky. but that isnt it is it? [10:05] i am quite fine with it [10:05] is there a way to test fstab if it works properly without trial and restart? [10:06] is there any problem to use an older one.. and hardy is a long term supprt version [10:06] waieez, no, lost+found is a special directory when you create ext* filesystem.. its only used as a recovery mechanism [10:06] I'm trying to make an ISO image of a CD, but when I try to do it though "Copy Disc", it only gives me the option to save as *.toc. [10:06] psycho_oreos: interesting [10:06] so i found it safe to use [10:06] psycho_oreos: u mean ->> sudo fsck.ext3 /dev/sda1 [10:06] shreymech, generally no but I don't recommend it if you are on newer computer (most are) and that you aren't familiar with linux yet [10:07] psycho_oreos: i can make dirs! but its weird how it wont let me just click and drag directly onto the harddrive [10:07] Octalnet, in terminal dd if=/dev/urcdrom of=uriso.iso [10:07] gp_will_be_back, yes [10:07] Awesome, one sec. [10:07] kbp: I do not know such a test. [10:07] ok thanks running ...it says recovring journal [10:07] hey i am using it from 1 year [10:07] waieez, yes as super user you can I believe.. but if you tried dragging and dropping before when it won't work you might need to close that file manager session and open it again [10:07] gp_will_be_back, cool, so its ext3 then :) I hope [10:08] so i am not willing to change.... [10:08] bullgard4: that's sad though :D [10:08] shreymech, well, ok lets skip that, I need to know your wireless chipset or I can't help you.. so pastebin your lspci output [10:08] speedhunt3r: "dd: opening `/dev/GRTMHFPP_EN': No such file or directory" [10:08] shreymech, be prepared to take on some challenges though　:P [10:08] its giving this error ---->>>>>>>>>>>http://paste.ubuntu.com/249114/ [10:08] 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Mobile PM965/GM965/GL960 Memory Controller Hub (rev 0c) [10:08] 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 0c) [10:08] 00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 0c) [10:08] 00:1a.0 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) USB UHCI Controller #4 (rev 02) [10:08] 00:1a.1 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) USB UHCI Controller #5 (rev 02) [10:08] shreymech: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[10:11] 2.6.24-24-generic [10:11] my research work and my ex girl friend rare pictures are in this laptop :-( [10:12] hahahaha [10:12] hey. I am trying to put the contents of the win7 iso onto a sd card so I can install it on my eee. I am following the instructions at http://philliptweedie.wordpress.com/2009/05/13/getting-windows-7-rc-on-a-usb-stick-from-ubuntu/. when I open up the .iso, all there is is a readme file stating "This disc contains a "UDF" file system and requires an operating system that supports the ISO-13346 "UDF" file system specification." Any sug [10:12] is there someway to make screen reattach to a screen and then run a command? [10:12] gp_will_be_back, sudo e2fsck /dev/sda1 << try that and hope [10:12] its funny that the first time i actual pay attention to what you guys are talking about... i get gp's message [10:12] moin [10:12] just update my ubuntu 9.04 and after a restart, the ServerX was not running and it shows me a black screen, why is that? [10:12] shreymech, hmm.. I still recommend you to try latter version of ubuntu because of your wireless chipset [10:13] psycho_oreos, when i created a new directory using sudo mkdir /media/extra/qq. the new folder could not be written in [10:13] so shud i go for 9.04 [10:13] ?? [10:13] Oprtz: i have also bad experiences with updates... i recommend a fresh install [10:13] Oprtz, try booting an older kernel in the grub meny on bootup [10:13] is there any other way to get out of this problem [10:13] ? [10:13] waieez, you need to do chown, don't forget that.. in other words sudo chown [10:13] psycho_oreos: i had to retype the command and then it enabled it [10:13] shreymech, yeah [10:13] is there someway to make screen run a command, I try to use -X but nothing happens [10:14] how to get the grub menu when system is starting ? i am a windows user, new to this thing [10:14] psycho_oreos: yes i did that [10:14] psycho_oreos: it ran without errors -> /dev/sda1: clean, 157358/3514368 files, 3164151/14040802 blocks [10:14] shreymech, there is technically but only if you're up for the challenge, that is to get the driver and kernel headers (probably better if sources) and compile, modprobe it [10:14] oprtz...what do you mean? [10:14] Oprtz, press escape on the menu to go into the text mode [10:14] gp_will_be_back, that's with e2fsck right? [10:14] speedhunt3r: okie [10:15] waieez, so the new directory `qq' is when you do ls -al under /media/extra is owned by waieez:waieez? [10:15] psycho_oreos: shoul i try to mount sd1 with ext2 ? [10:15] okkkk so i am having the wireless driver of window i am using ... shud i try with that one to get it working in my ubuntu.. i will use NDISWRAPPER.. [10:15] gp_will_be_back, no try ext3 first before ext2 [10:15] psycho_oreos: but doing it this way would require me to manually reenter sudo chown -Rv waieez:waieez /media/extra/* every time. [10:15] psycho_oreos: yeah e2fsck [10:16] oks [10:16] Oprtz, if display is the problem try recovery mode and select from the menu "try to fix x server" or something similar to that [10:16] psycho_oreos: yes. but only after i retype the thing [10:16] shreymech, I wouldn't recommend ndiswrapper, the device is supported natively under linux and should generally work its weird that you're not getting interfaces from it.. are you sure you have wireless button on? [10:16] waieez, well that or /media/extra/qq but once you created qq and chown it, you can then add/remove new directories inside it as normal user [10:16] gp_will_be_back, ok so hopefully it should work now normally [10:17] damn. i was really scared here. alot of stuff stopped working and was working really wierd. i have been troubleshooting for an hour now. the disk was full. WHY doesnt gnome warn me? [10:17] yaaa i checked everything ,, but still can u suggest me the proper guide to install it.. may be i can try once more to install it..!! can u send me the URL if any..!!!! [10:17] waieez, yeah not sure of other ways.. hmm [10:17] psycho_oreos: yipeeeeeeeeeee it mounted [10:17] psycho_oreos: yes i understand. but i dont want to be constantly making new directories and chown'ing each one of them [10:17] psycho_oreos: o well [10:18] shreymech, you can try your luck here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=765647 [10:18] psycho_oreos: should i reboot my system ? [10:18] gp_will_be_back, good, time to recover data out.. should be in /home/$user directory === user101 is now known as user10 [10:18] waieez, I know.. there might be a way [10:18] gp_will_be_back, hmm you could if you want.. dunno if it helps [10:18] thanx psyc... i m going to try now again..... i will get back to u .. [10:19] yey [10:19] gp_will_be_back, btw before you do, I'd do e2fsck or fsck other partitions as well just in case [10:19] shreymech, lol if it doesn't work I suggest you to get latest stable one :) that kernel version is rather ancient in wireless world [10:19] hmm okkkk [10:19] hope for the best [10:20] psycho_oreos hey need to ask ! got webcam build in ! but don't work but using lsmod it's module there if i use cheese camorama don't appear why? [10:21] ox, not that I have experience with it.. hmm maybe its missing the driver/modules? [10:21] What file stores the entry 'pidgin' so that my Ubuntu 9.04 computer calls Pidgin automatically after a restart? System > Preferences > Startup Applications does not include a 'Pidgin' entry.

[10:23] psycho_oreos would it matter that I'm using the drive right now? i was starting to back up my songs since i got it to work [10:24] waieez, it shouldn't no [10:24] psycho_oreos i also tried that command earlier, but it didnt respond [10:24] waieez, but if it still doesn't work.. I'd try umount and remounting it for keepsakes.. not that I would hold my breath on it though [10:24] psycho_oreos: oh well. thanks for all your help. [10:24] waieez, it should tell you the list of directories changed to your login imo [10:25] waieez, nw === chaky_ is now known as chaky [10:25] i think my synaptic is broke [10:25] n [10:25] hey pysc. i think i will look and sove that issue [10:25] later on [10:25] shreymech, lol up to you [10:26] how to change the "pubblic" ip address from shell????

[10:26] shreymech, that chipset is well supported from 2.6.24 onwards.. 2.6.24 is where they started trialling out a new wireless stack and I think its also where they have broken backward compatibility [10:26] lolllzzz.... [10:27] okkk dear [10:27] hey can u ans. my previous ques. [10:28] hello, anytime I open thunderbird it gets opened on a different desktop than i'm, that wasn't the case in the past. I don't know what changed, has anyone got an idea what this could be? [10:29] psycho_oreos if cam build in , find it @ lspci ? [10:29] try reisntaling thunderbird...!!! [10:29] i have a 500G USB, it contains small files such a lecture notes and large files as iso of 4Gs and even larger, which filesystem would be most suitable in this case? [10:29] when i try to run an eggdrop, i have this error: Tcl_InitNotifier: unable to start notifier thread , what could it be? [10:29] ox, err driver/module built-in? probably not sure though :) [10:29] ox, its connected via usb isn't it? [10:29] @adnc_ try reinstallling it [10:30] psycho_oreos no build-in with the screen it's laptop =) [10:30] error404notfound, probably ext3 still [10:30] o_portista17: check the dependencies for eggdrop and tcl packages [10:30] ox, ahh ok, yeah I'd gamble on lspci [10:30] if its not there its probably in lsusb [10:30] o_portista17: also check out #eggdrop [10:30] So I figured out that doing the command "/usr/bin/screen -dmS MyTorrents rtorrent" creates a new screen and runs rtorrent in it and detaches. The only thing is, I want it to take no action if there is already a screen named MyTorrents.... is this possible without a script?

I forgot the name but do apt-cache search msn [10:37] arand: clmsn uses java [10:37] Tyrath: I think that would be tricky, interestingly if you download them and it works suggests it's not flash but your actual network connection [10:37] ikonia: well that's a bit rhetorical. what i want to say is that I have to download them fully before I watch them. ie, torrent. zip [10:37] i mean the local network on which i m connected [10:38] Tyrath: that doesn't suggest a problem with flash [10:38] can i find in karmik koala unified boot? ( grub 2.. ) [10:38] arand: also http://www.fama-im.org [10:38] hello there. does anybody know if its possible to reload/refresh/reinstall ubuntu native wifi drivers and remove ndiswrapper and its associated drivers. Since installing ndiswrapper i cant get connected via wifi. any help greatly appreciated. thanks [10:38] !9.10 > Marchitos [10:38] Marchitos, please see my private message [10:38] in other words the systems which r connected by same swtich.. local network [10:38] arand: or tmsnc [10:38] ikonia: well, I let them play through to completion before I play them through fully [10:38] :-) [10:38] ?? [10:39] Tyrath: again that doesn't seem like a flash problem from your description [10:39] ikonia: which means they're stored somewhere in full. which means im no longer using the network to watch them [10:39] i want ubuntu 8.10 to see both of my monitors as one wide screen. I have ATI Radeon HD 3200 Graphics, i downloaded the ati drivers for it. When I click Applications > Accessories > ATI Catalyst Control Center .. nothing opens. Help? i have one widescreen lcd monitor and one crt. [10:39] ikonia: laggy flash isn't a flash problem? [10:39] howaya: simply uninstall and purge ndiswrapper, then unblacklist modules if you have blacklisted any [10:39] Tyrath: your symptons are confusing - if you download the movie and play it - does it work ok, yes/no ? [10:39] ikonia: yes. perfectly [10:40] ikonia: unless it's a flash movie [10:40] Tyrath: that's what I'm asking [10:40] *hugs* ActionParsnip :) [10:40] ikonia: so is my flash bugged, or is it something else? [10:40] * ActionParsnip hugs chalcedny back [10:40] Tyrath: so locally stored flash movies play bad [10:40] Tyrath: yes [10:40] ikonia: yes [10:40] cheers dude. any links you can recommend? bit of a nubie [10:40] :)) [10:40] Tyrath: ok, that makes more sense as a flash problem [10:41] ikonia: emphasised by the point these problems did not occur before I upgraded to flash 10 [10:41] Tyrath: you're on ubuntu 9.04 ? [10:41] ikonia: and the fact that numerous others have the same problem [10:41] ikonia: yes [10:41] how frustrating, I thought 9.04's default flash install was flash 10 - not flash 9 [10:42] tried removing niswrapper by synaptic. but wouldnt have a clue how to blacklist anything... [10:42] Tyrath: was this a clean 9.04 install or a upgrade to 9.04 ? [10:42] hey ikonia [10:42] ?? [10:42] any answer [10:42] shreymech: what ? [10:42] howaya: if you don't ten you most likely didnt [10:42] ikonia: upgrade [10:42] ikonia: I've been on 9.04 since it came out [10:42] does anyone have ATI Radeon graphics ? [10:43] does ubuntu have better compatability with intel or amd chipsets??? or is it pretty much equal? [10:43] !anyone | chaky [10:43] chaky: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [10:43] Tyrath: 9.04 - I thought came with flash 10 by default [10:43] !anyone | chalcedny [10:43] chalcedny: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [10:43] !anyone | chalcedny [10:43] ikonia: this problem only started occuring fairly recently [10:43] chaky: Sorry [10:43] pcbuilder97: neither [10:43] if i want to send a pop-up instant message on the systems on my local network .. how can i do that.. in windows we have a commmand for this ...NETSEND.. but in LINUX(ubuntu) what to do..??? [10:43] i have 3 files, want to rar them into one *.rar pack secured with password, how can i do it in console? what command use? please help.. [10:43] super... thats just the advice i was looking for!! [10:43] When I click Applications > Accessories > ATI Catalyst Control Center .. nothing opens. Help? [10:43] ikonia: if you're right, then it may not be a flash problem [10:43] pcbuilder97: same, its the other hardware you need to worry about [10:43] ikonia: and if you're right, I'd have no idea how to solve it [10:43] Tyrath: well, there have been flash upgrades in 9.04 - but I thought the base package was flash [10:43] combo: man rar [10:43] Tyrath: was flash 10 sorry [10:44] ikonia: ack. well it may be an upgrade then [10:44] ok i anly ask cuz my amd system seems to have truble when under a load it pegs out the amd proccesor [10:44] shreymech: http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2003-February/060966.html [10:44] chalcedny: have you been to www.ati.com to see if they have a driver for you? [10:44] its not a weak proscessor either [10:44] ActionParsnip: did it already but there still some errors. probably i'm typing it in wrong order or something :/ [10:44] ikonia: as such, what should my next move be if I want to be able to watch flash clips? [10:44] ActionParsnip, ty.. just nobody answered, when i asked the full question (i know Radeon isn't you) ActionParsnip that's where i got the drivers that are working.. i still need to enable my other monitor now. [10:44] Tyrath: be interested to know what flash version was working on 9.04 and what the current version is [10:44] What file stores the entry 'pidgin' so that my Ubuntu 9.04 computer calls Pidgin automatically after a restart? System > Preferences > Startup Applications does not include a 'Pidgin' entry. Neither ~/.config/aautostart [10:44] how can i see my connected wireless adapters? [10:44] how come my ubuntu 9.04 doesn't have memtest86+ on the menu? [10:45] on the live iso? [10:45] anyone? [10:45] ikonia: do you know what flash's package name is? i'll try to get version info [10:45] I'm unable to access Twitter from my Ubuntu Desktop 9.04, Firefox 3.5 up to date. Is twitter really down? [10:45] bullgard4: it might be part of a saved session [10:45] The live ISO doesn't come with memtest86+, IIRC. [10:45] ARMENIAN, iwconfig? [10:45] psycho_oreos: thanks :) [10:45] Hi [10:45] ARMENIAN, nw [10:45] dragon: No, twitter is not down [10:45] Somebody to help me ? [10:45] dragon: try clearing your cache and try again [10:46] is it possible to reinstall ubuntu in order to get the native wifi drivers back in order [10:46] dragon: actually, i'm not getting twitter either [10:46] Invitateur, you need to ask your question [10:46] Tyrath: there you go. [10:46] dragon, i got an error on the twitter webpage about half an hour or more ago [10:46] I'm on xchat and i don't know how to make works the resume [10:46] I'm in the UK, and twitter works for me [10:46] howaya, probably but why? [10:46] dragon: nah, twitter works [10:47] th0r: If the term "a saved session" is meaningful, then it is the contents of a file. What file do you mean in particular? [10:47] i want to be sure my download is completed but xchat redownload a second files [10:47] dragon: it just loaded slow [10:47] twitter has to be a big brother tool [10:47] Tyrath: yeah, a DoS attack is taking place [10:47] dragon: try clearing your cache - Ctrl + Shift + Del [10:47] teitter got dos [10:47] lol [10:47] psycho_oreos: i took the backup of data ...................but after rebooting i am facing thae same issue [10:47] Invitateur, sounds like you need to ask in #xchat imo [10:47] combo: http://aldeby.org/blog/index.php/howto-create-password-protected-archives-in-linux.html may help [10:47] everyone check it out (final blow of DoS) [10:47] gp_will_be_back, heh did you try checking other partitions too? [10:48] !ot > dragon [10:48] dragon, please see my private message [10:48] dragon: is it a DDoS or a simple DoS? [10:48] bullgard4: I don't know where it is stored. If I wanted to not run pidgin I would close pidgin, set up the rest of my desktop as I want it to load at boot, and then exit, saving the session. The trick is to remember to NOT save after that [10:48] ddos [10:48] lol [10:48] that sucks lol [10:48] howaya: so is the internet at large if you think about it [10:48] just as well I don't tweet much :P [10:48] http://www.h-online.com/security/Twitter-hit-by-denial-of-service-attack--/news/113948 [10:48] while boot it says : unable to mount /dev/disk/by-uid/d125634 blah blah does not exits ...droping to shell [10:48] why anyone would even bother doing i [10:48] it [10:48] gogeta1: no idea dude [10:49] whats the command for remote desktop in ubuntu 9 [10:49] no good if i cant blacklist wifi drivers [10:49] gogeta1: because they can? :P [10:49] ActionParsnip: i man ddos a site worth doing it to like a media company [10:49] gogeta1: maybe someones angry at twitter for something [10:49] gogeta1: it's prob the Chinese government [10:49] psycho_oreos: i just checked sda1 ...other is extended parting and swap do i have to check them also ? [10:49] Question about mounting removable media: I have a netbook with Ubuntu Netbook Remix, and I have a "static" SD card in it to give me more storage. However, as an SD card it's detected as an removable media. Currently it gets mounted to /media/disk - but I'd like to see it somewhere under /home/user. (It also very annoyingly pops up a file manager each time after suspend/resume, because it has "detected" a new media.) So the question is, how do I make a specific ca [10:49] gogeta1: i think its kinda lame, but its offtopic here [10:49] Tyrath: lol twitter is im doing this [10:49] i dunno its abit strange the way its being plugging by media nowadays [10:50] gp_will_be_back, yeah its an issue with the uuid, dunno how to exactly fix it up. . you may need to change the params for booting up a bit.. something like /dev/sda1/vmlinuz or something [10:50] th0r: In Ubuntu 9.04 there is no button "save this session" any more. [10:50] Tyrath, gogeta1: this reminds me of the End of Ze world video [10:50] gp_will_be_back, swap doesn't need checking :D [10:50] http://news.cnet.com/8301-27080_3-10305200-245.html [10:50] bullgard4: in xfce there is. in gnome I believe there is a check box on logout [10:50] lol [10:50] twitter info: http://news.cnet.com/8301-27080_3-10305200-245.html [10:50] wonder why they dont change there server ip and stop it [10:50] Ileden: if you want to mount the partition as allof your home drive, you will need to edit fstab [10:50] this isn't strictly ubuntu, but can anyone tell me what the ip addresses of opendns' dns servers are? I think my ISP's servers are down [10:50] conspiracy?? [10:50] i removed /root and symlinked it to my main user's home directory, and now synaptic wont run [10:51] Ileden: I think you would need to create a udev rule for it. [10:51] cached1: 208.67.222.222, and 208.67.220.220 [10:51] this aint no conspiracy... what is a conspiracy? [10:51] or rought the packets right back at them for a wile [10:51] lol [10:51] ikonia: ok, maybe flash itself isn't much of a problem because youtube doesn't lag [10:51] Ileden: if you simply want a folder in your home folder to allow you to click on it and be shown the files on the device you can use: ln -s /media/disk ~/SD\ Card for example [10:51] chalcedny: i don't see how it solved any of their purposes. The guy got more coverage than he could ever have on his own. [10:51] cached1: Though I'd recommend Verizon DNS instead - 4.2.2.1-5 [10:51] th0r: In Ubuntu 9.04 there is no check box "save this session" on logout. [10:52] psycho_oreos: how to fix it now ? [10:52] ikonia: but full flash vids do. and youku and tudo etc [10:52] * dragon is out anyways [10:52] guys, I have a little problem === chalcedny is now known as chalcedony [10:52] gp_will_be_back, I suggest you to try and reinstall.. its a long process if you tried to recover :) [10:52] fahadsadah: why not run a local one whic will cache dns resolutions for you, makes browsing mildly faster as you don't have to wait for the data to traverse the web if the address is already known [10:53] chalcedony? [10:53] I have installed the kernel 2.6.30.4 and everything works expect the network interfaces [10:53] Delano, hugs [10:53] these are 02:0e.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4401-B0 100Base-TX (rev 02) [10:53] 10:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4311 802.11b/g WLAN (rev 01) [10:53] good to see you :) [10:53] !broadcom | pietro_ [10:53] pietro_: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [10:53] both of them are recognized by the kernel but I cant get them work on 2.6.30.4 [10:53] hey parsnips... can i reinstall the kernel or something to get the wifi drivers back in order...??? [10:53] ok [10:53] I will give it a lookù [10:53] ty bro [10:53] Don't talk to me, chalcedony [10:54] howaya: you will ave the old kernels still installed unless you actively removed them [10:54] pietro_: brodcoms need a patch in the new serise kernels [10:54] used linpop up but still unable to do.. error message - unable to reach host [10:54] pietro_: nut .29 is the latest avable [10:54] * chalcedony doesn't suppose that someone who uses ATI Radeon graphics can help figure out what to do whenI click Applications > Accessories > ATI Catalyst Control Center and nothing opens. [10:54] pietro_, also this:　https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/b43 << I highly recommend [10:54] ? [10:54] ActionParsnip: thx, it works :) [10:54] so what process should i follow... any clues? [10:54] What file stores the entry 'pidgin' so that my Ubuntu 9.04 computer calls Pidgin automatically after a restart? System > Preferences > Startup Applications does not include a 'Pidgin' entry. Neither ~/.config/aautostart [10:54] Delano, i always considered you a friend, and you spoke first. [10:54] howaya, what did you exactly do last? [10:55] fahadsadah: hmm. that didnt seem to work. any idea why i'd be able to communicate with irc and google but not anything by name (eg. slashdot.org)? this is the case for all computers connected to my router [10:55] bullgard4: is this not still good info? http://linux.about.com/library/gnome/blgnome3n3d.htm [10:55] hi all, anyone can advise on the OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Intel(R) 845G GEM 20090326 2009Q1 RC2 x86/MMX/SSE2 [10:55] cached1, your dns server is down [10:55] is that good or bad? can i get better rendering on this machine? [10:55] im gonna try restarting and see if it fixes the vid issue. all the best [10:55] chalcedony: but changing dns servers didnt seem to work? [10:55] cached1: yes your dns isnt working [10:55] http://www.lostworlds.lv/go.php?1139723800 NEW WEBSITE GAME,COME AND PLAY. [10:56] combo: cool [10:56] So I've figured out that "/usr/bin/screen -RS MyTorrents rtorrent" will run screen and create a new screen called MyTorrents and run rtorrent, also if there is already a screen called MyTorrents it will just reattach to it. What I need it to do is do those things, but also detach from the screen. [10:56] hey.. I am trying to install ubuntu through the net using the proxy apt-cacher-ng while it is offline. The prob is that everytime it gets to the fetching release files stage it bombs out saying that the repo is not available. So my question is what is the recommended program to install to get the installer thinking it is interfacing with the internet? [10:57] i'm actually working from a windows machine now, though, so i may be changing the dns incorrectly (i go into connection properties, ipv4 settings, changing it there) [10:57] duckwars: look into "-d -m" [10:57] muse: how can you download threw a offline proxy [10:57] wtf [10:57] muse, have you loaded the repos (i hope this is a sensible question) [10:57] last thing was : installed ndiswrapper... then uninstalled it via synaptic , trying to get back to native drivers.... no luck as wireless wasnt recognised at all after the uninstall.. so i had to reinstall ndiswrapper. it recognises the wifipci card now... does loads of spinning but doesnt connect!!... any ideas?? carrots [10:58] chalcedony: it is pre-cached [10:58] flannel: I tried -m but that will force creation of a new screen, even if the screen already exists, which is not what I want... I will try -d thoiugh [10:58] all the files I need have already been downloaded in my own repo on the server [10:58] duckwars: no, it's -d and -m, maybe -D and -m is what you want (check the manpage) [10:58] duckwars: screen also has its own irc channel: #screen [10:59] howaya, can you please pastebin your lspci -k output? [10:59] aha! thanks prince [10:59] flannel: you mean I should try -dm [10:59] !pastebin | howaya [10:59] howaya: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic [10:59] muse then give it the ip of your server [10:59] duckwars: usually not veyr populated, but it specializes in screen. [10:59] I have [10:59] muse: then you have a server side issue [10:59] it works... like it uses my cached files, but the prob is that it still needs the net for some reason [11:00] muse: you must be missing files [11:00] Ziggy-x [11:01] ya I sorta worked that part out. I wanted to know what would be the best app to cache the request and answer from the file that I an missinf [11:01] ill give up and go to bed.. maybe when i wake up, somebody will know. [11:01] muse: why go threw all this anyways [11:01] muse: if its networks use the net [11:01] because I am trying to install two hundred pc's without cd drives away from any internet connection [11:02] there is a network thou [11:02] muse: if you put te deb files in apt's cache folder you should be able to run: sudo dpkg -i *.de and you should see errors on what dependancies are missing [11:02] muse: tried usb? or aptoncd? [11:03] I tried usb but it was too time consuming [11:03] muse: making a pxe installer server would be the best way [11:03] screen -dm MyTorrents rtorrent makes the screen, but if the screen already exists and just makes another screen, how can I make it not make another screen if it already exists? [11:03] I also wanted it to be preseeded :) [11:03] duckwars: check out -r (or -R, maybe?) [11:03] gogeta1: I have [11:04] ActionParsnip: thanks will look into aptoncd [11:04] but I still think that if I can just trap that release file request that would be the best solution [11:04] muse: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Installation/LocalNet [11:05] duckwars: try -DR [11:05] have read through that and other related links [11:05] that's all working A-ok [11:05] grawity: PM? [11:05] I just need to get it working offline [11:05] http://www.lostworlds.lv/go.php?1139723800 NEW WEBSITE GAME,COME AND PLAY. [11:05] fahadsadah: Okay. [11:06] muse: then if you setup one system, you can use aptoncd to use its deb files used to set it up and install all the others [11:06] !clone > muse [11:06] muse, please see my private message === david3 is now known as dave_P [11:06] prince_jammys: the problem with -R/-r is they attach to the screen session. I basically want to have screen make a new screen, call it something, and run a program in that screen and detach... also if the screen already exists do nothing [11:06] hes trying to install on 200 pcs [11:07] ActionParsnip: ok thanks will look into and see if I could automate the system [11:07] muse: could try partimage too, thats good fun :) [11:07] his beat option is eatherbooting them with pxe and installing the os [11:07] heh ya that is way to time consuming :D [11:08] muse: just a matter of pluging them in [11:08] i'd go with gogeta1's solutioon if you have 200 systems [11:08] at the moment I have preseeded net-boot-installed precached setup.. the only problem is that it doesn't work offline [11:08] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/QuickNetboot [11:09] wtf [11:09] \ [11:09] \ [11:09] gogeta1: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [11:09] muse: you cant massboot offline [11:09] hi friends [11:09] gogeta1: can you please stop using phrases like "wtf" we know what it means and we don't need to see it [11:09] I think you can [11:09] how can i "tell" evdev driver for my touchscreen to swap axis? [11:09] muse: you need some kind of local server [11:09] I just needed to work out how to trap the release file request from the installer [11:10] I have a local server [11:10] that is networked to 200 pc's [11:10] they are all not online [11:10] that is the prob [11:10] muse: well you cant move file by magic [11:11] anyway thanks guys for the help.. will look into squid and see where I go from there :) [11:11] muse: for the offline ones you need a cd or something [11:11] any clues? [11:11] gogeta1: no cd drives [11:11] muse: the network driver will be running ok if you pxe oot, this will get them online and accessing the server [11:12] muse: for the networks ones you can make a pxe innstaller server [11:12] s/oot/boot [11:12] I have a pxe install server [11:12] hey guys, what mp3 player would you recommend for being able to use keyboard shortcuts globally? [11:12] ActionParsnip: sorry, i was unavaiable for a while. I think directly mounting it under /home/user might be better, since it's supposed to be always connected anyway. fstab is the way to go, but I don't know how to identify the device. Also will adding a new entry disable the automounting it currently has? [11:12] muse: they netboot aand install the os [11:13] but the installer keeps asking for the release file... for some reason it doesn't use the proxy [11:13] woooo dns servers are back. at least temporarily [11:13] seems my isp had dns issues on august 7 2008 and august 7 2007 as well [11:13] yes.. they do when the server is online [11:13] !fstab | Ileden [11:13] Ileden: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [11:13] muse: usb boot the non networked ones or something [11:13] muse: or even a pce boot floppy [11:13] pxe [11:13] hey guys [11:13] thanks, fahadsadah et al. [11:13] not necessary [11:13] all neworked [11:13] how do i install mutt from terminal [11:14] sudo aptitude install mutt [11:14] any idea ? [11:14] Ileden: yes, the mount will happen at bootup, just after the kernel loads [11:14] okay fahadsadah [11:14] anyway thanks again [11:14] hehe aptitude command not found [11:14] what OS is the best? :D [11:14] :( [11:14] any apt-get thing ? [11:14] Ileden: its nice to ave home on a seperate partition, makes clean installing for a new release easier :) [11:15] ne0: that depends entirely on taste and requirements [11:15] woops [11:15] wait [11:15] sorry i was wrong [11:15] perturbed: i doubt you don't have aptitude installed. [11:15] Why is firefox-3.5 dependent on firefox-3.0? [11:15] i have i have prince_jammys [11:15] its working [11:15] ok [11:16] perturbed: if you replace aptitude with apt-get it will also work [11:16] muse: or walk around with a usb stick netboot them with a ubuntu network install [11:16] aptitude is working [11:16] perturbed: when it comes to installs like you are doing they are synonymous [11:16] muse: once it starts installing you can move to the next pc [11:16] how to check if mutt is installed or not ?

[11:19] ActionParsnip: the memory card gets automounted from /dev/mmcblk0p1 - I'm wondering whether I should use that device code as a mount source, or rather an UUID code (which the current existing fstab seems to use) [11:19] is it already installed ? [11:19] perturbed: or just: 'type mutt' (ie. the literal word 'type' followed by mutt, to see if mutt's in your PATH) [11:20] okay let me try [11:20] perturbed: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get --purge autoremove; sudo apt-get install mutt [11:20] Ileden: i'd use the uuid [11:20] /usr/bin/mutt [11:20] Hey, is it possible to make appications search for shared libraries in ~/lib directory? [11:20] its there [11:20] perturbed: yep. [11:20] cool i have it then [11:20] hi all,anybody knows the meaning of %T in "/usr/bin/procmail -d %T"? [11:20] how do i start ? [11:21] type command is coooool [11:21] i can type any application :D [11:21] perturbed: type is shell builtin, better than the external 'which' [11:21] perturbed: you can also which any app too ;) [11:21] haha .. i dont know .. i get excited with little new things [11:22] okay which also works :D [11:22] type echo will show you what echo really is, which echo won't. [11:22] perturbed: you can use that output in commands and scripts using the ` character [11:22] how ? ActionParsnip [11:22] which echo will show you /bin/echo, which is NOT what is run when you echo. [11:22] Hi all, I'm trying to help my father-in-law install 8.04 (he's still got 6.10) but I was wondering if there is a way to do the install remotely via ssh or what ever? [11:22] perturbed: e.g. ln -s `type mutt` ~/mutt_symlink [11:22] perturbed: for example [11:22] okay [11:23] got it :) [11:23] perturbed: the ` bit is worked out first and substituted in the command [11:23] (minus the extra words output by type) [11:23] type -p mutt [11:23] cool [11:23] muse: you best option is hear https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/Netboot you make a pxe server with the ubuntu cd as its os and it can mass install over a network [11:23] you should use 'which' really [11:23] no, you shouldnt. [11:23] but everyone does. [11:23] cli is where the power is [11:23] creating an ext3/ext4 filesystem takes long and provides with less free space (459G) but copying files is quite fast , and with xfs, you create fs very quickly and less fs space consumption (466G) but copying files is very slow... [11:24] prince_jammys: as long as it outputs the right thing, its fine [11:24] mutt downloads the mails ? [11:24] yep [11:24] onto the harddisk ? [11:24] once you set up your inbox, yeah. [11:24] amazing :D [11:24] you can probably tell it not to. [11:25] cool how ? [11:25] where do I configure the PATH variable so GUI-applicationes not launched from shell sense it? [11:25] i don't know. [11:25] its asking me whether to creat a mail folder now [11:25] perturbed: whats cool too is that you can ssh in to your system from anywhere and real the email store on your pc [11:25] s/real/read [11:25] whoa ActionParsnip [11:25] nice [11:25] can i read mainls without downloading it to my HDD ?

[11:26] hi, can anyone help with onboard Wireless broadband config? [11:26] its not pretty but it does loads more than most of the x based email apps [11:26] <^space^> can someone help me how to make my ubuntu a router? [11:27] yeah, it's a nice application. [11:27] ^space^: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Router [11:28] ActionParsnip, thanks, that comes in real handy.. just quickly browsed the pages and it doesn't seem to have a frontend user friendly remote control for it but oh well :) [11:29] psycho_oreos: frontend to what? [11:30] ActionParsnip, router control, I was looking for something equivalent to ipcop/smoothwall/clarkconnect equivalent on ubuntu or other full blown distro setup.. not that I need to make an exact clone but something similar so that other users can remote control it easily.. and yes I could use those other ones but they have much older kernel and/or proprietary to some extent [11:30] psycho_oreos: if its a router then you can configure it with ssh [11:31] mutt is cool but i cant set it up [11:31] :( [11:31] how to get back those package that i remove in remove orphan packages? [11:32] perturbed: it takes forever the first time around. look for people online who have posted their .muttrc [11:32] Alvinware: sudo apt-get -f install may help === nb123 is now known as newwindozeconver [11:32] okay [11:32] perturbed: many people have posted their .muttrc on the internet. check them out in tandem with the docs. === newwindozeconver is now known as windozeconvert [11:32] ok ok [11:32] perturbed: mutt also has its own channel #mutt [11:32] cool [11:33] ... with an FAQ [11:33] ActionParsnip, well I'm planning to turn a normal computer into a powerful router but I can do all those routing under linux.. however if I'm not around and these other users needing to use internet I'd be in strife because they don't know how to diagnose linux let alone operate one lol.. so I'm somewhat still in search of a method [11:33] though the link is definitely a start I must say [11:33] i'll try setting up my account [11:33] I just switched to ubuntu - everything's fantastic - execpt my ftp connection creeps at 4kbps for uploads. [11:33] psycho_oreos: then i suggest you become familiar with the OS before instaling the system [11:33] can someone help me fix my ftp upload speed? [11:34] windozeconvert: try a different ftp app [11:34] ActionParsnip, thing is its not me, its more so the users themselves :) [11:34] psycho_oreos: the users will only see a working web conection [11:34] I've tried gftp, nautilus, ftp, kasablanca, etc - same issue occurs [11:34] wireless broadband setup anyone? onboard sim modem.... [11:34] does anyone know how to set file associate for Amarok? Amarok doesn't play mp3 files as default [11:35] What's the best way to copy & restore about 14GB of files, preferably via scp? [11:35] kbp: right click mp3 -> open with, choose app and click box to remember file association [11:35] kbp: you mean you want to set amarok to be the default app for opening mp3s? [11:35] ActionParsnip, correct, but they can't easily remote control the computer that has been turned into a router easily.. so lets say there's something wrong with wireless they will ask me for help and if I'm 20km away, they'd be angry because I have to guide them step by step of getting putty and logging in and configuring it :) [11:35] windozeconvert: does it happen on all ftp servers? [11:36] How to get back those packages that i remove in remove orphan packages? [11:36] psycho_oreos: for what reason do they need to remote control it? [11:36] also, I have other computers going through this same router - one on windows, another on linux. The same issue occurs for the other ubuntu installed computer. not with vista. It happens with any hosting provider I've tried [11:36] prince_jammys: yes I mean it [11:36] ActionParsnip, like wireless controls, or to see if the router is actually connected to the internet, etc [11:36] ActionParsnip: there is no checkbox to tick to remember it [11:36] !defaultapp | kbp [11:36] kbp: To change the default application for a filetype in Nautilus, right-click on a file, select Properties -> Open With, and then change the setting. [11:36] ipcop has all these functionality visible and the router itself [11:36] mutt with mixmaster :D [11:36] kbp: are you on kde? [11:37] router/s [11:37] How to get back those packages that i remove in remove orphan packages? pls help me. [11:37] prince_jammys: but it doesn't remember (next time it's opened using other app). I'm on Ubuntu 9.04 Gnome [11:37] hi [11:37] kbp: well, beats me. i don't have gnome. [11:37] kbp: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=106467 [11:37] prince_jammys: isnt Ubuntu always on Gnome? [11:38] sorta [11:38] psycho_oreos: if they can ping the router, then pin the web, its connected to the web [11:38] kbp: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-770694.html [11:38] ActionParsnip, true but if they can't they'll be seeking help from me even if I'm not around lol [11:38] What's the best way to copy & restore about 14GB of files to another computer? Compression might be nice too, but not necessary. The transfer would be preferably done via ssh/scp. [11:38] kbp: the naming is confusing. Ubuntu does come with gnome, but you can remove gnome and you'd still have ubuntu. === dpreacher10 is now known as dpreacher [11:38] hi. I am trying to set an http proxy. I did export http_proxy = http://somename:somepassword@someproxy.com:8080/ but i am still not able to ping [11:39] please help... how can i swap evdev controlled touch pad? [11:39] psycho_oreos: then you will need to train them how to use the new product rather than just dumping some new thing that you only sorta knew then running to the hills [11:39] Ileden, probably use rsync [11:39] can anyone help me with internet connection sharing over lan :) [11:39] ActionParsnip: it works now :) thank you [11:39] kbp: np [11:40] prince_jammys: is kde for slower pc? I have never used kde before so I have no idea :) [11:40] hi do u know any channel to discuss about hardware? i wanna buy a laptop [11:40] anybody? [11:40] ActionParsnip, don't think they're willing to learn. I try to tell them its linux and they gave me that funny stare they're not willing to listen.. I tried to explain to them what needs to be done they say "yeah, whatever, just do it" [11:40] typical windows users lol [11:40] no\ [11:40] kbp: no, kde tends to be more resource-hungry. xfce is lighter. [11:41] then there's fluxbox, lxde, etc... [11:41] prince_jammys: ...and finally there's bash :) [11:41] hi do u know any channel to discuss about hardware? i wanna buy a laptop [11:41] prince_jammys: so is there any reason you chose kde instead of gnome? [11:41] bash/csh/zsh/tcsh/ksh/ etc :) [11:41] kbp: i didn't. i use fluxbox. [11:41] Cee, try ##hardware [11:41] kbp: fluxbox is fast, and i like it. [11:42] psycho_oreos: tnx [11:42] Cee, nw [11:42] yah [11:42] psycho_oreos: well you'll have to pander to them or give them easy fixes or you'll be getting calls [11:42] kbp: but it doesn't have as many bells and whistles as the popular desktop environments. [11:42] prince_jammys: yea I use something-box before and it's fast (fluxbox is developed from that something-box I think) [11:42] psycho_oreos: ok... so that would be rsync -avz source me@remote:temparchive/ [11:42] kbp: fluxbox, lxde are both awesome [11:42] kbp: openbox or blackbox [11:42] oh yea openbox [11:43] !info lxde [11:43] lxde (source: lxde-common): Meta-package for the Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment.

Version 0.3.2.1+svn20080509-5 (jaunty), package size 2 kB, installed size 40 kB [11:43] actionparsnip: is there a way to change my ftp ports or something? the windows computer on this network uploads through ftp at about 1mb/sec - the two ubuntu jaunty installs I have are running 3kbps. Do linux default ftp ports differ from windoze? [11:44] i have lxde :D .. and its super fast [11:44] i'll try it one day. [11:44] fluxbox does me well for the moment. [11:44] Ileden, not sure off my head but yeah.. I hardly use scp.. I'd probably do nfs mount and if I want to make it secure I do ssh forwarding and then do rsync from there [11:44] windozeconvert: not sure, you will need to probe your systems to see whats going on [11:45] or wait that might not work lol [11:45] prince_jammys: flux has awesome shortcut key supprt [11:45] windozeconvert, no FTP daemon ports are the same on all platforms, it's protocol depedent (20 & 21) [11:45] please share the command to do such [11:45] ActionParsnip: yeah, fluxbox works great for me. [11:45] <-- is noob, sry [11:45] prince_jammys: I think it was 2 months ago I used openbox for my server, for some reason I need to open firefox with flash, and after 4hrs, the flash content is freeze. Gnome doesn't have that issue [11:45] gomerpyle: ftp uses both, 21 for control, 20 for data [11:45] windozeconvert, refer to your ftp daemon's help file into locating the conf file [11:46] kbp: ah. flash causes trouble for me too, no matter what desktop. [11:46] psycho_oreos: how do I do that from the terminal please? your help is greatly appreciated [11:46] ActionParsnip, you're right [11:46] as is your help actionparsnip, thanks for your help [11:46] setting up mutt is difficult [11:46] windozeconvert, you need to first tell me the name of your ftp daemon [11:47] from what i read .. it involves fetching certificates and stuff [11:47] psycho_oreos: how do I determine this? [11:47] prince_jammys: it's just freeze when there is no keyboard/mouse activity (since it was server app) but it didnt crash firefox. It worked back as soon as I moved mouse curson :) It took me age to try to fix it but I gave up and used gnome :) [11:47] perturbed: it is. i had it working ages ago then i had to set it up and couldnt get it nice [11:47] windozeconvert, mm sudo lsof -i [11:47] o o [11:48] so you say the browsers mails are better than console ?

[12:06] windozeconvert: i'm unsure. i don't use ftp personally as its unsecure [12:06] when i try to /dcc chat BOT, i receive this msg, and it fails: * DCC CHAT connect attempt to BOT failed (err=Connection refused). [12:06] cheers [12:06] sorry, wrong chan [12:06] windozeconvert: could try puppy or dsl to see if its an ubuntu issue [12:06] gomerpyle. http://paste.ubuntu.com/249170/ [12:06] hello everybody [12:06] hey`: thank you, but it gives me the same errors. seems my update system is broken somehow [12:06] ActionParsnip: there are some minor issues ...like getting an insight of what changes have taken place...and in case of some errors that i may have accidentally made...when i need to use webmin [12:06] Hi there sofia13!

[12:07] Ileden: another forum link :( [12:07] gomerpyle, http://paste.ubuntu.com/249171/ [12:07] weird advertisements. [12:07] sofia13: Why? What happened? [12:07] Technocrat: I did prefix it with tongue-in-cheek, though :) [12:07] hey`: very strange this... I'm going to try a reboot [12:07] i cannot run updates [12:08] HenkdeVries, what happens [12:08] does it shows a can't connect to the server? [12:08] sofia13: Are you running 8.10? [12:08] whats the port on which ebox works??? [12:08] ActionParsnip: whats the port on which ebox works??? [12:09] How to get back all those packages that i have removed in the remove orphaned packages? [12:09] when I do I take the message run sudo dpkg --configure -a (I'm running 9.04) but when I do I get the message dpkg: parse error, in file `/var/lib/dpkg/updates/0116' near line 1: newline in field name 'athematica' [12:09] Ileden: Ok , I will once again go and check , do the steps and screw my system a bit more [12:10] Technocrat: I sure know what thats like. [12:10] Technocrat: don't. *sigh* it wasn't an actual responed. I hoped to provide some comic relief, since flash support in linux in notoriously bad. [12:10] mango, ok your problem is that your ppp0 ( dial up) and eth0 (wired ethernet) are on the same network class address (10.X.X.X) and the internet sharing feature in the gnome Network Connection manager doesn't like that. === windozeconvert is now known as michelpplz [12:11] Technocrat: do you have any flash support at all, or is it just slow and chunky? [12:11] krishmish: i think its: https://localhost/eBox [12:11] gomerpyle, hm. so what to do? [12:11] can someone help me. my mic port and integrated mic works 1 out of 3 times I reboot. Right now, it's working. What might be causing that kind of inconsistency? [12:12] hi [12:12] How to get back all those packages that i have removed in the remove orphaned packages? [12:12] ActionParsnip: okay...and how can i check from another machine on my network whether a DNS on my local network is working ??? [12:12] Clouse: no you dont, I have been robbed by laptop vendor for crapy vista, after burning holes in my pocket I switched to ubuntu and now its driving me nuts , all the euphoria about linux etc seems to be dieng now :( [12:12] !evolution [12:12] Sorry, I don't know anything about evolution [12:12] Yeah come to think of it flash is a bit sucky on Linux, DAMN YOU CLOSED SOURCE SOFTWARE AND ALL WHO CODE IT!! [12:12] anyone knows how to mount a sony ericsson k750i? [12:12] Ileden: I dont know , how can I tell ? [12:13] technocrat: I share your sentiment [12:13] michelpplz: looks like I am not alone in the hot soup :( [12:13] mango, the idea would be to change the default internet sharing network address range on your wired connection (eth0) but i don't know how to do that right now. Please wait a moment [12:13] krishmish: nslookup [12:13] I want to self-teach myself to program(like make a game or some useful software) but where do I start? AND could I get some starting links? [12:13] it shows up as a "memorystick drive" in computer:/// but it says it cant be mounted [12:13] Technocrat: does anything show up when you open youtube? do you get the player with the play button, or is there just a notification that you need to "install a plugin" or somesuch? [12:14] when I run updates I take the message run sudo dpkg --configure -a (I'm running 9.04) but when I do I get the message dpkg: parse error, in file `/var/lib/dpkg/updates/0116' near line 1: newline in field name 'athematica' [12:14] does anybody have any idea what I can do? [12:14] Technocrat, whilst ubuntu isn't perfect, you have to forgive it for being a free project.. or you would have literally no simple choice [12:14] Technocrat, you could always put Windows 7 RC on that laptop, it'll run for about a year for you [12:14] mizipzor: if you run mount in terminal it may already be mounted [12:14] o/ ActionParsnip [12:14] Technocrat: That sucks big time. [12:14] Thanks to everybody that tried to help out with my apt problem. A reboot solved my issue. I have absolutely no idea why a reboot fixed this but it did. [12:14] ActionParsnip: dont see anything that looks like a phone [12:15] ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/f1e0c9b1a [12:15] mizipzor: you wont, you'll see a block device [12:15] ?? [12:15] ActionParsnip: like normal /dev/sd* hard discs? [12:16] mizipzor: you may find it /media/disk or /media/disk-1 [12:16] Technocrat: And yes there can be a few got yar's with Linux but I have always found that start of the problem to be with closed source software and all who lust for it. [12:16] ActionParsnip: i had named a machine on my network as lamp [12:16] Technocrat: i do feel the pain too. in fact i switched to linux grinding my teeth and hoping nothing gets too broken. turned out better than I expected, but I sure do miss the suspend on my laptop, and indeed working plugin support in the browser. [12:16] good morning all... can someone recommend a good "light" browser?... it seems that firefox doesn't like to play well sometimes [12:16] ActionParsnip: there seems to be a livecd mounted on /media/disk and disk-1 just holds a lost+found [12:16] Aquahallic, Ephipany [12:16] ActionParsnip: lamp with ip address 192.168.1.1 [12:16] Ileden: well , the youtube thumbnails of videos, when I click on the video to view, the new pages gets downloaded with all buttons, I can see that video is getting buffered as the GREYED red line moves forwared [12:17] clouse: can you help me with my ftp speed? [12:17] Technocrat: ok... but the video never starts then? [12:17] Aquahallic: arora, midori [12:17] Ileden: but the video never gets displayed or any sound , all I see is black screen [12:17] krishmish: if you run: nslookup lamp it should return that, it will also say what your dns server is [12:17] Ileden: right [12:17] i upload at 3kbps with all ftp apps on ubuntu, including just connecting w/ nautilus [12:17] DaZ-: ty [12:17] Technocrat, if you installed flash-player plugin, did you restart firefox?

I think I met the same problem once. if i remember correctly, i fixed it by chaning the flash plugin tha I used.

[12:20] Technocrat: i don't remember how i did it anymore, though (or in fact whether i actually did it) [12:20] Ileden: how ? [12:20] yw [; [12:20] technocrat: are you using medibuntu? http://www.medibuntu.org - also you can download the ubuntu flash player directly from adobe's website [12:20] Technocrat, you type in "about:plugins" without quotes into firefox's address tab or whatever you want to call it [12:21] heya [12:21] wut's ubuntu apt package for gnutls? [12:21] !find gnutils [12:21] Package/file gnutils does not exist in jaunty [12:22] michelpplz: I install everything using package manager or add / remove applications facility of ubuntu [12:22] ttwj: try: apt-cache seach gnu | grep tls | less [12:22] !find flashplugin-installer [12:22] Found: flashplugin-installer [12:22] i've a problem. the ubuntu live cd and fresh install work fine on my pc but after updating it my monitor shows h.v frequency over range. [12:22] Technocrat: It might have been trhough the packet manager, Synaptic. I probably searched for flash, and removed the one in use, replacing it with another.... but really, I don't know if you should do this, just providing some possibilities. [12:22] there is boot splash [12:22] Hey, the network applet in the gnoem toolbar, the vpn tab the 'add' button is greyed out, does it rely on another package for it to be available? if so, which package? [12:22] Technocrat, look above.. sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer [12:23] Ileden: So even in linux we do things which we dont understand and sometimes they work [12:23] but when it should be gdm, my monitor became blank and shows h.v frequency over range. [12:23] ActionParsnip: the phone seems to appear at the end of dmesg there http://pastebin.com/f61b010db [12:23] hatake_kakashi: I have tried that .. didnt work [12:23] oh sorry i'll ask it later. [12:23] Technocrat, ok and did you load up about:plugins to see if shockwave flash is installed? [12:24] technocrat: medibuntu is a updated repository, so there's no install to be done. but are you saying you refuse to download from adobe's website? if so, then your problem may be self imposed [12:24] jduggan: you have to add the nm plugin for the vpn type you require [12:24] Technocrat: I know you are already getting help so sorry for butting in but I was just wondering is your main problem not having flash in you browser? [12:24] mizipzor: looks like its /dev/sdc1 [12:24] michelpplz: yeah I didnt install from adobe [12:24] Technocrat: well... I do. :) [12:24] ActionParsnip: i see some error messages now http://pastebin.com/f308b0978 ... hm... might the memory be corrupt?

[12:27] ActionParsnip: i dont have the chkdsk command... and apt-get cant find it either [12:27] Jerusalem420: set up static ip's or install a dhcp server on one.. is a bit easier. [12:27] Technocrat, and so you can't play videos from youtube? [12:27] Jerusalem420: and install whatever services you want them to have. [12:27] mizipzor: fsck, sorry [12:27] hatake_kakashi: Yes I cant [12:28] ActionParsnip: yea, thx, google just told me :) [12:28] how can i repair MBR with liveCD?

[12:32] myself: sure, you choose your session type at logon [12:32] ActionParsnip: that there is no medium? well, yea... seems like the problems im having in the first place is that somehow linux cant detect the filesystem... should have guessed that when it didnt automount [12:32] ^space^: not sure, why dont you ask the room [12:32] what apps does it install actionparsnip [12:32] Parsi: So what do you want to do? [12:32] Technocrat, nm.. try getting mozilla-mplayer and then restarting firefox [12:32] myself: http://www.lxde.org/ you will still be able to use gnome apps [12:32] hatake_kakashi: there is an option to play youtube videos and search for them in totem on the right side panel...

I achieved that (with help from the Internet), but now it seems that several other sounds aren't playing correctly anymore. [12:34] myself: sudo apt-get install lxde [12:34] For example, Ubuntus' starting sound. All I hear is a kind of quiet "scratching" from the speakers when the sound is played [12:34] myself: log off, change session type, log on [12:34] Technocrat, that should work :) [12:34] i see alright, thnak you :) [12:34] gomerpyle, u there? [12:35] Parsi: ok, I don't know about the ubuntu package, so the only advice I'll give is supergrubdisk, if you want to get rid of grub completely, or guides for reinstalling grub if you like grub and/or want to keep the ability to boot ubuntu.

[12:56] You said you wanted to hibernate, so unless you change it to use a file on your filesystem you will need at least as much swap as you have ram [12:56] (sorry if this isnt the right place to ask) but does anyone know of a good C editor for ubuntu (jaunty jackalope) [12:56] gnome goes mad when I plug in the 2nd one, for example: focus is on desktop, (as in selected something) then I press delete and words get deleted in my terminal which i had focus on before I clicked the desktop [12:56] Cyber_Akuma: i look forward to google's new video stuff putting the stake in the heart of flash. i I dont care about getting 'ubuntu' anywhere' i care about getting the work done i need to do.. ubuntu does that for me. but this isent really a ubuntu related topic.. so i will let it drop now. :) [12:56] xzachtmx_: i like 'geany' for many programing editing needs. [12:56] is this a bug or simple known issue that you shouldn't plug in two mice to avoid it [12:57] also, does anyone know the command for "edit menu's" [12:57] ok Thank you Doctor =) [12:57] i installed ubuntu 9.04 NRE on my laptop first everything came properly.. then whn i updated it told me to restart.. after restarting.. its just shows the desktop and no gnome panels [12:57] as i'd like too see some output when I try to start it (as in: it doesn't start) [12:57] anyidea what could be the problem [12:57] Dr_Willis: just saying, flash and youtube is useful to most people, just plain ignoring it dosen't help [12:57] a simple question, where is xorg archive? [12:57] Cyber_Akuma: and adobe has constantly broken flash. they are the ones ignoring linux. but perhaps it will change soon.. [12:57] I got so far just about everything I want workign in ubuntu [12:58] Bennit: alacarte* something is the command name. [12:58] xnonix: was that for me [12:58] with the exception of vidoe acceelration [12:58] but I heard its impossible with ym current card atm [12:58] hmmm... restoring from hibernate is a good option? i mean performance wise? on my HP Compaq 6720s, i always got a performance degrade after restore from hibernate. [12:58] Cyber_Akuma: i also seem to find that many of the 'video web sites' some how tweak flash on their sites.. that can break things just for that site. I had cbs.com work.. then break when they added comercials.. its hard to trouble shoot that stuff. [12:58] Hell, the damn thing dosen't evne work proprely in Windows 7 >.< [12:58] having my friend beat me over the head constantly with "why is it so hard just to install java and flash, when you just click and install in windows" wont help ubuntu either. took me forever to get java installed as I gave him the command to install the plugin only, thinking it`ll get the rest itself...it didnt! it only got the plugin.. odd, as my 32bit install gets all the deps, his is 64bit... [12:59] arand: the problem was alacarte requires sudoers rights [12:59] which you apperently don't get to give as you click it [12:59] what would make trash bin lock up and cause ubuntu to crash? [12:59] deany: you can't just install that from the repos? [12:59] does "testdisk" recover mbr? [13:00] thanks arand , where do I report the bug? :) [13:00] on the devel list or on launchpad? [13:00] What was the social channel of freenode again? [13:00] Bennit: for me using command "alacarte" gives me menu editor with no passwd prompt, so that might be the problem on your side in itself [13:01] Cyber_Akuma, I had to include the jre in the command, thats al l im saying. not getting deps itself caused headaches. as for flash, i had to find the 64bit dev version. [13:01] Hello I had ubuntu 7.04 (its old), [13:01] * error404notfound counts ticks.... [13:01] its being used as router, [13:01] I had trouble with flash because firefox installed some opensource version [13:01] had to get that DELETEd first [13:01] arand: It's multiuser ubuntu with only one real user (non-system-users) [13:01] before I coudl install the real one from the repos [13:02] so I'd see no reason why I can't edit the menu as this user [13:02] aCheR0, for old you could have tried xubuntu 8.04 or any later version, xubuntu is also quite light [13:02] all im saying is, the common things like java/flash should be easier for nubs. [13:02] which worked... well.... not perfect, but good enough, a hell of a lot better than the opensource one [13:02] its working smoothly, its also used as DHCP, can I block some websites for users? [13:02] hey [13:02] agreed deany [13:02] having a few things called java in the repo to choose from, confuses them.. [13:02] Yeah, a lot of linux enthusasts can work aroudn it or don't need it, but the general population does, and ignoring them really isn't helping support for their distro [13:02] Bennit: so core of problem might be in the permissions of the concerned user... [13:03] Another thing, which im glad Mint works to resolve, is the whole "dirty" drivers/software idea [13:03] I need away to block dome websites for some users (per IP),can I acheive this? [13:03] Pretty much, most people will care that it works, not if its 100% FOSS or not, and will want those installed by default after a few "I agree" prompts [13:04] Cyber_Akuma: firefox installs whatever version you tell it to. It lists adobe's and the open source option [13:04] aCheR0: a fast and dirty way it to edit the /etc/hosts file and point their URL to a different ip.. or use iptable commands to block the specific ip. [13:04] #ubuntu-it [13:04] jrib: I tried ot go to a site with flash and it told me it needs a plugin [13:04] and autoamtically installed some opensource version of flash and extras likw swfplay or osmething like that [13:04] Cyber_Akuma: yes, with a yellow bar. And if you click on it, it offers adobe as an option [13:04] never asked me [13:04] asked me to install adobe's version* [13:04] Cyber_Akuma: are you using jaunty? [13:04] Dr_willis, what do you mean by a fast and dirty/ [13:04] I had to manualyl do that from the repos [13:04] shall it work? [13:04] yes [13:05] 64bit [13:05] hi need help. i installed netbook remix 9.04 on an acer aspire One. i switched from the netbook interface to the regular desktop interface. then i restarted my pc and now when i log into Gnome, the gnome panels don't appear and the window decorations don't appear. how do i fix this? [13:05] Cyber_Akuma: try again I'm sure you may have just overlooked it [13:05] what do you mean by short and dirty? [13:05] jrib, I said I got it installed now, by manually doing it from the drpos [13:05] aCheR0: its has potential issues.. but it can work. [13:05] arand: i'll still post a bug that some kind of error popup box would be nice "insufficient permissions for this user" or so, then I'll look into the permissions of the user :) [13:05] and uninstalling the version firefox installed [13:05] aCheR0: point the url to a different ip.. is good for a few sites.. but say you wanted to do 1000 sites.. well... [13:05] like what are its disadvantages? [13:05] Cyber_Akuma: I understand but you seem to be asking about ubuntu's behavior not how to install flash [13:05] I mean, seriously, the thing was so terrible it coudlen't even render the "pause" icon in youtube correctly [13:05] imo there's nothing so anoying as clicking a button then having to wait not knowing if it's doing something or not [13:05] noo [13:06] aCheR0: also they could just enter the http://ip# if they wanted... [13:06] it was assymetrical [13:06] Bennit: Yes, that is indeed a valid bug. [13:06] Cyber_Akuma: flash is closed source, that's the best that can be done [13:06] jrib: this is precisely what I talked about a few min ago [13:06] It shows how much linux has grown/improved when the 'biggest' problem is 'flash' [13:06] they are not much experienced [13:06] hardly Dr_Willis [13:06] just a common one [13:06] XD [13:06] anyone using xen kernel here? [13:06] aCheR0: theres also anti porn/whatever extensions for firefox. [13:07] but I had to block the website for a list of IPs [13:07] mmmm, [13:07] is it the same for iptables? [13:07] Vats majority of somebody who wants flash will likely want it to run well, not caring if its FOSS or not, and more than willing ot agree ot Adobe's EULA to use it [13:07] Vast* [13:07] aCheR0: iptables can block a range of ip's i belive. [13:07] is is better than /etc/hosts [13:07] hello every one [13:07] Ubuntu's reluctant behavior to make it easy to install non-FOSS drivers/software drives many away [13:08] aCheR0: for a large # addresses.. proberly. [13:08] As I said, from what I heard, Mint is a step i teh right direction with this [13:08] i need to know is there any way out that i can remotely view and operate the linux system on windows OS [13:08] havent used mint though [13:08] Cyber_Akuma: it *is* easy. System -> Administration -> Hardware drivers for video drivers and the yellow bar pop-up for adobe flash. [13:08] I need to block almost 20 websites for 8 ip address [13:08] g2g [13:08] bye [13:08] what is way that you recommend [13:08] the yellow bar just installed the foss version and didn't give methe option to install adon'e version for some reason [13:08] aCheR0: for a total of 160 ip addresses? [13:08] ubuntu is far more easier to use compared to say debian, slackware, etc :p [13:09] as for video drivers.... im stuck [13:09] AFAIK, the craptacular Radeon x1200 isn't supported anymore in 9.04 [13:09] Cyber_Akuma: it did for me. So I am assuming you just overlooked it unless the behavior was changed recently [13:09] or opensuse 11.1 [13:09] or Windows 7 [13:09] Damn ATI >.< [13:09] hatake - there isnt much of a difference between ubuntu and debians ease of use imo [13:09] and that's the fault of the driver developer not necessarily ubuntu [13:09] I mean, there are 8 users (8 ips) and Ineed to block around 20 websites for them, [13:09] I need an advise [13:09] But I can't blame ubuntu for ATI;s decision to remove support [13:10] they worked in 8.10 and vista >.< [13:10] akuma - x1200 is supported on 9.04 via the radeonhd open source drivers [13:10] Hi, I'm a complete noob at linux.. does sftp need bind installed? [13:10] aCheR0: on the same system? the hosts file will block the sites for everyone.. same with iptables commands.. its not a per-user thing. [13:10] you can get the 9.3 catalyst drivers from amds website which were the last to support this card [13:10] yeah, but I mean which is better using /etc/hosts or iptables? [13:10] Dawgmatix: I tried installing ati drivers from the repos [13:10] I know its on the server [13:10] akuma that wont work :) [13:10] xorg woudl no longer start until I booted into recovery mode and uninstalled them [13:11] Dawgmatix, guess debian has become really user friendly eh? [13:11] I see, so this is something I need to manually install? [13:11] hatake i guess thats true [13:11] yes [13:11] Hi THere, Im googling for an Ubuntu THeme.. and it seems I cannot find a Themes? do anyone know where can i download themes? [13:11] got a guide? [13:11] sure [13:11] btw, minor question while im here [13:11] aCheR0: if you know iptables.. use it i guess.. [13:12] Dawgmatix, ahh well guess I'm mistaken since my last tinkering with debian was 4.0r0 [13:12] !ati > Cyber_Akuma [13:12] Cyber_Akuma, please see my private message [13:12] burtning a xubuntu 9.04 livecd for a friend to help refover his system, anybody know where I can find cd coverart that I can use on the p;rintable disk? [13:12] Want ot ige it a nice label [13:12] well, I am not advanced, a guide or tutorial will guide me to it, [13:12] to give* [13:12] thanks [13:12] thanks === bloupotlood is now known as bluepencil [13:12] hi guys [13:13] where can I download Ubuntu theme? [13:13] akuma: http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/linux/Legacy/Pages/radeon_linux.aspx?type=2.7&product=2.7.4.3.3.3.1&lang=English , download the driver [13:13] My screen's resolution isnt listed in the Nvidia display config window, and i set the panning to the resolution, now its all weird.. i need to scroll edges now. [13:13] napzter, gnome-look.org [13:14] hi, does pidgin support "aware" states, so if i lock my screen (session), does pidgin go to e.g. away state? ubuntu 9.04... [13:14] then 'chmod +x ati*', followed by sh ati* .... [13:14] and you should be all set once you install it, you can check by running "fglrxinfo" after you restart, it should say ATI opengl .. [13:14] "sh ati*" ? [13:15] Cyber_Akuma: run the ati isntaller with sh whateveritsiscalled [13:15] you will have to run it with sudo [13:15] let me know if you run into any issues :) [13:16] anyone can help me to rebuild mbr with testdisk? [13:16] i have a laptop with the same config that I have here working completely fine [13:16] k, ill try it in about 2 hours or so, I can't reboot the system right now [13:16] thanks [13:16] ill let you know hwo it goes when I try it [13:16] ok [13:17] hi [13:17] My friend phoned me... He ordered a CD with a couple of distros on it... for his new Acer Aspire notebook. He wants to mount the DVD on another machine with a DVDROM Drive, and then install individual applications via a network cable onto the Aspire which has no removable drives. Problem is that the whole distribution is in ons large file /casper/filesystem.squashfs Any idea how he can access individual packages out of this one l [13:17] arge file? [13:17] test [13:18] asca - pxe install to the rescue :) [13:18] anyone have any experience with indicator-applet? [13:18] i dont know if ubuntu has one of the minimal installers (debian does and its called netinst) [13:18] Ascavasaion: There aren't any packages in there. It contains the fs of the live session, and when you install, it copies files from it directly, it doesn't install packages. [13:18] What was the social channel of freenode again? [13:18] !minimal | Dawgmatix [13:18] Dawgmatix: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [13:19] SirFunk: I guess we all have, since it's there by default... [13:19] diddy: #defocus ? [13:19] thanks ubottu, didnt know about this :) [13:19] jrib, Thx [13:19] will use this going forward, i hate wasting bandwidth downloading openoffice when I will never use it :D [13:19] Ascavasaion: The alternative install disc contains packages though, since it has room for it without a live session. [13:21] sorry, lets try that again [13:21] anyone have any experience with indicator-applet? [13:21] !anyone | SirFunk_ [13:21] SirFunk_: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [13:21] ok [13:21] with indicator-applet, if you launch it and evolution and pidgin, arn't things supposed to pop up in it's menu? [13:22] SirFunk: they are indeed. [13:23] is that like the notification area for gnome? [13:23] no [13:23] not really [13:23] whats the diff? [13:24] My screen's resolution isnt listed in the Nvidia display config window, and i set the panning to the resolution, now its all weird.. i need to scroll edges now. [13:24] indicator-applet sits in the notification area (or next to it) and interacts with multiple messaging programs givign you quick access and notification to them, ig uess [13:24] idk, mine isn't working yet :-P [13:24] arand: ok, thought so... my indicator applet ... it shows "pidgin" and "evolution" in it.. but doesn't load items from them [13:24] any idea? [13:26] thank you geirha [13:26] :) [13:26] SirFunk, 9.04 alread has that functionality though with the pop-up notifications no? [13:26] I have an ati hd 3850 512 mb - 4GB ram - samsung 24" HD - p4 2,8 ghz and when i play video files either with totem or vlc i have a lag in the picture - frame rate is bad - voice comes first and after the video!!! Generaly very laggy situation. I am annoyed that AGAIN to play a simple video file in linux i must figure out the solution. [13:26] b3rz3rk3r: you can't click on the pop-up notifications to go to the messages or anything [13:27] SirFunk, so you want a clickable version that will take you to the message? [13:27] b3rz3rk3r: plus, the notificatinos go away, i want something that will sit in my tray and keep reminding me [13:27] helo [13:27] ok.. i see [13:27] il check it out now [13:27] SirFunk_: I think it's only supposed to show, new messages/mails... Is that not working for you? [13:28] arand: hmm, i'm not sure, let me send myself a test mail [13:28] arand: it's a little unclear from the wiki what it's supposed to show [13:29] Sorry for this noob question but I have never used VirtualBox before: If I have a Windows XP running on a partition already, can I "mount" to and use Windows OS in VirtualBox. Or do I have to install Windows OS from scratch? [13:29] kbp, no you will need to install a virtual one again [13:29] hi guys [13:29] SirFunk_: Personally I think that applet is just a bunch of feces, but it does provide some persistence for unread messages I guess... [13:29] i having a strange prob [13:29] kbp: its doable but considered 'dangerous to the safty of the data of the data on teh drive.. so dont do it. ' [13:30] i cannot install some of my updates, cause its showing as 'blocked updates' in kpkg [13:30] arand: i'm not really familiar with it, i was just giving it a go to see how it works [13:30] SirFunk, did you get any sort of icon when u added it? [13:31] for example about kernels, there many installs, and can anyone plz tell me which one to remove [13:31] ok thank you b3rz3rk3r and Dr_Willis ... I think it's better to restart instead of using virtualbox then [13:31] http://img229.imageshack.us/img229/4552/linuxkernel.jpg [13:31] Hi, my cpu scaling doesn't work at times [13:31] SirFunk, iv just tried now, and nothing is showing up at all? [13:31] i can't understand why [13:33] i have new mail sitting in my inbox and nothing is showing up in indicator-applet [13:34] b3rz3rk3r: It's completely invisible until you start either pidgin or evolution, (clickable as a one pixel invisible line, usually in between notification area and volume applet... [13:35] hello, [13:35] anyone :( [13:35] can someone suggest me a way to let ubuntu detect the video driver? [13:35] arand, oh that thing! i have a real dislike for that [13:35] arand, thanks, now i understand what SirFunk_ meant [13:35] so... on Jaunty how precisely does someone "fix" the tor problem [13:36] hi [13:36] sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg doesn't help much [13:36] calwig, what tor prob? [13:36] whats your problem? === kb is now known as Guest81551 [13:37] HELLO [13:37] well I hve problem with graphic driver for my dell c400 [13:37] hi [13:37] HOW ARE YOU? [13:37] it seems that inside the xorg.conf it uses "generic" video driver rather than intel driver [13:37] b3rz3rk3r: well I followed the instructions to install Tor and its broken on firefox, it doesnt forward, and apt-get install tor does not work, only privoxy. And on FF it doesnt forward anything even after modifying the config file on /etc/privoxy [13:38] though i have xserver-xorg-video-intel installed.. [13:38] b3rz3rk3r: /etc/init.d/tor restart|stop|start doesnt work anymore [13:38] inside /etc/X11/xorg.conf [13:39] calwig, maybe not the solution you are looking for, but when i wanted to try out Tor i used an Opera Browser with Tor "baked in". Called "OperaTor" cehck it out [13:39] in Section "Device" [13:39] aha.. [13:39] put this Driver "vesa" [13:39] put this---->>>> Driver "vesa" [13:39] SirFunk_: In the case of Pidgin, the window has to be minimized or at least unfocused when the message comes in, so it's status is _unread_ I don't use evolution, so I can't comment on that... [13:39] calwig, personally i just use a proxy server, or VPN now.. but it was alright imo. good idea [13:39] b3rz3rk3r: as a test? so if it works in Opera then it could work in FF [13:39] okie.. let's see. [13:40] logout for restart the Xorg [13:40] and tell me what hapens [13:40] calwig, if it works, the you know that is just a setup problem on your end. If not, then look to your routers ports/firewall [13:40] okie [13:41] b3rz3rk3r: um i just noticed something, Network Proxy isnt installed by default on Jaunty. Do you know why? or how to install it === skunkworks985 is now known as skunkworks [13:46] hey guys [13:46] i have a question [13:46] may i ? [13:46] of course [13:46] i ordered a new ip from my serverhost, and they said i must add it myself into the rootboox :D [13:47] but i dont know the command or how [13:47] can u help me out?

[13:56] folks, how to specify runlevel to kernel at boot time, i see no effect adding 3 at the end of parameter list to kernel on menu.lst [13:56] zhxk`: why do you want to do that? [13:56] !runlevels | zhxk` [13:56] zhxk`: In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. [13:56] !runlevel [13:57] mazda01: add username=XXXX,password=XXXX in option [13:57] hi how to install winxp from ubuntu on a hard drive to havve two OS?

[13:58] matias: as a virtual machine? use virtual box. as dual boot, just install winxp as normal and choose an empty partition [13:58] what config files can affect fonts? for some reason, fonts on firefox and kde apps stopped rendering properly [13:58] zhxk`: use sysv-rc-conf to setup runlevels for each then [13:58] BUTthe partition must be NTFS formated? [13:59] matias: you should just repartition, and setup windows on the first partition [13:59] jrib:i've removed links to gdm in rc3.d already, now i want boot into runlevel 3 instead of 3 [13:59] wers: Many GNOME apps use the sttings in gnome-config -- but some others (including the non-Ubuntu Firefox) use fontconfig (~/.fonts.conf for example). [13:59] 2 [13:59] zhxk`: appending 3 to the kernel line in grub should work afaik [14:00] grawity, i already deleted my .fonts.conf but it didnt fix it :| [14:00] mazda01: the file_mode and dir_mode options are like umask, should ne reversed [14:00] should be* [14:00] mazda01: is the remote directory My Pictures something on C: drive? [14:00] jrib:it wont work, it still boot into runlevel2 [14:00] kbp, all the windows shares have the same mount options but i am having trouble getting 2 of them writable despite the permissions being totally open on the windows side. http://pastebin.com/f5cb6b460 [14:00] matias: beware though, you'll have to reinstall the grub boot loader after the windows install, since win overwrites it. [14:00] wers: Maybe it is so because you deleted it? ...anyway, what is the exact problem? [14:00] becouse when i run the Windows xp cd it starts the installation but then it shows up an blu sceen [14:01] yes i deleted windows vista and installd ubuntu [14:01] mazda01: sorry, I was talking of fmask and dmask, that I use [14:01] and now i cant any more install visa on my lapotop [14:01] matias: and what does this blue screen say? [14:01] ok [14:01] mazda01: C: write may be unwriteable when not shutdown/restart properly (and you cannot access it -assume you have ubuntu on that remote server neither) [14:01] zhxk`: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/upstart/+bug/85014 possibly [14:01] grawity, nope. i deleted it after the problem occured. non-gnome apps like firefox and kde apps don't follow my gnome's font rendering configurations anymore. they used to [14:02] like the worning like somthing is wrong and that if this problem apears to continue i must check the drives [14:02] enzotib, i tried 0000 as well, then they get mounted with no permissions [14:02] wers: Did you install Firefox from the website?

Text elements like to disappear, then reappear after I scroll the screen around a bit. This doesn't happen with desktop effects turned off. I'd prefer to keep the desktop effects, so is there a known workaround? [14:04] mazda01: ok so that means only 1 possible left: check the permission of that directory [14:04] kbp, windows was shutdown properly, i said I have 3 other shares that are mounting fine with write permissions. i am just having trouble with the shared docs folder from windows and the my pictures from windows [14:04] wers: I can write a .fonts.conf if you want. [14:04] grawity, yes, but it used to follow my rendering configs. chromium's tab fonts changed too [14:04] mazda01: ls -l that directory and check the permission (owner/group) with those which are working. any different? [14:04] Any idea what i can do about this mod_mono error - http://tp.tvbritannia.com/default.aspx - ? [14:04] kbp, the permissions for the mount point before I mount it are daniel:daniel and rwx for all. drwxrwxrwx 2 daniel daniel 4096 2009-08-06 19:44 winxp_pictures [14:04] wers: You mean the PPAs used to use GNOME's settings?

The permission thing, I meant the permission on remote server, not on your pc [14:13] kbp, nope, smbfs does the same thing. [14:13] kbp, permissions for what folder? [14:14] mazda01: check if the permission of //192.168.0.4/My\040Pictures is different to //192.168.0.4/I$ [14:14] mazda01: that was just for an abstract, I dont know the exact location of that directories on your server, === sharperguy2 is now known as sharperguy [14:14] jrib:my english is poor, just tell me what to do?

[15:52] hellooo [15:52] bar432: it is automated part of system and you have not to go there and make something with your hands [15:53] grawity: there is also the fact that UUIDs are flakey, get re-generated each time a filesystem is created which creates problems for backup restores.

[15:55] Offoffoff: Yes, but since I have headless servers, a single mistake forces me to have to travel to the datacenter to reach a terminal in order to fix the faulty grub config. I.e. UUIDs are horrible for servers. [15:56] stz184: but you have to write down a script [15:56] more info, please [15:56] Offoffoff: Much better to use labels. The only situation where I think UUIDs have any kind of justification is for un-labeled devices. Thus mu question regarding using labels instead of uuids.

[15:59] bar432: I think if you do a kernel upgrade on the server you will find grub referencing uuid again [15:59] bar432: If labels exist in system Ubuntu can use it [16:00] Thanks th0r. that's what I was looking for. [16:00] bar432: but every update will be painful for you [16:00] Offoffoff: yes, that's what I kind of figured. I'll submit an enhancement request. [16:00] Thanks all [16:00] b3rz3rk3r: no, not only a config error. I didnt install tor from the place the instructions said, so I had no tor whatsoever installed, just privoxy, everything was being forwarded, but Tor just wasnt there [16:00] Offoffoff: im installing 1 right now can i change back them like Metacity? [16:01] bar432: Thank you, Sir! [16:01] calwig, lol.. yeah usualy helps when you install the program you are trying to use :p hehe. Well im glad you got it all sorted. Did you check out OperaTor? [16:02] Master: emmmm... they are a little bit different things [16:02] b3rz3rk3r: i guess i'll check it out [16:02] b3rz3rk3r: its "opera" right? [16:02] Anyone here know if the Amazon Kindle works with Linux? [16:03] calwig, the base browser is opera yes. [16:03] mnaines: it works [16:03] Offoffoff: so is it a good idea to install? [16:03] calwig, the full name is OperaTor tho.. its a modded version of opera [16:03] b3rz3rk3r: I thought OperaTor is just a bundle of Opera+Tor+Privoxy. [16:03] Master: GTK is already installed. [16:03] Offoffoff, I don't have the Amazon Kindle nor do I plan on getting it. I was just trying to see what it can do compared to a Palm PDA with Palm's eReader [16:04] grawity, yes, but its combined already, so its easy for the beginner to use [16:04] b3rz3rk3r: aint in the repositories, should i check elsewhere [16:04] grawity, nothing to config or activate.. just click and use :) [16:04] And that is exactly why I dislike it. [16:04] mnaines: just wait for kosher Ubuntized device [16:04] calwig, you should be able to download an .exe and use wine to run it [16:05] calwig, just google [16:05] ok [16:05] Offoffoff: im installing a new one. Is that a good idea? [16:05] Offoffoff, I'll stick with the Palm TX PDA...It has apps for pretty much every intention in addition to the eReader [16:05] I see thru wine [16:05] Master: What is the sense? [16:05] new look [16:06] Master: do you use ppa-repos? [16:06] Offoffoff: whats that? [16:06] Offoffoff, no need for themes [16:07] Offoffoff: im installing this http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Ultimate+Edition+2.4+Proposed?content=109130 [16:07] Master, sure you can install new themes, try as many as you like [16:07] Master: install it! [16:07] Master: you do not install GTK [16:07] Master: it is just a theme [16:09] how can I remove /var/run and /var/lock while being logged in to the system? [16:09] Offoffoff: installed. How do i now change? [16:09] or how can I remove /var/run /var/lock without liveCD or different system installed? [16:10] paziek_: umount /var/run, it's a tmpfs. [16:11] Master, you dragged to theme manager? [16:11] grawity, oh, thanks :) === raven is now known as Guest52941 [16:12] no its a .deb package (54Mb) i want to know how change back to the old 1 again...

[16:24] lowki: you might be able too find a template for PHP/Perl and mySQL/postgreSQL.. i know of no package for it tho [16:24] Hey! Can someone suggest me how to find the software, which has seized an audio device, and prevents everything else from accessing it? [16:24] zimbres: There are also gnome panel applets that will read the sensors, Either sensors-applet or hardware-monitor, I don't remember which one.

[17:40] Problem with dpkg: "sudo dpkg --configure -a" crashing. Full description of the problem and how I have tried to resolve it is here http://pastebin.com/d111bfa07 What am I missing, please? [17:40] I would imagine cron runs as root [17:41] RebelZero: a proxy problem? [17:41] ops sorry, what bad english!!! any idea? (look up ^ ) [17:42] caule use pastebin if you're going to post big code. [17:42] so the channel won't get flooded. [17:43] CHILE [17:43] hola [17:43] alphaaquilae: it's possible... I can't say for certain as I don't have much experience with proxies. Can you open a web browser to http://keyserver.ubuntu.com:11371 ? [17:44] !openldap [17:44] Sorry, I don't know anything about openldap [17:44] !ldap [17:44] 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 [17:44] RebelZero: now i cant :( [17:44] <|SonGoku|> wa [17:45] <|SonGoku|> is there one Argentino ? [17:45] r3rman_: echo "nameserver " > /etc/resolv.conf [17:45] <|SonGoku|> xD [17:45] <|SonGoku|> list [17:45] MasterOf1isaster, thanks did that [17:45] Is there a way to get the system beep that comes out of my computer's internal speakers to come out of the regular speakers? [17:45] r3rman_: man resolv.conf [17:46] alphaaquilae: you can still reach pastebin? [17:46] yes [17:46] MasterOf1isaster, yeah, it looks ok now [17:46] thanks [17:46] alphaaquilae: http://pastebin.com/m7de66639 [17:47] RebelZero: what shoul i do with this :D? [17:47] alphaaquilae: copy and paste that to a text file... then: sudo apt-key addkey textfile [17:47] Has anyone ever had when they use vnc to connect to an instance of ubuntu all of a sudden a random key seems to be pressed and stays pressed down until I reboot? [17:47] alphaaquilae: that's the gpg key you're trying to fetch [17:47] <|SonGoku|> hay algun arghentino ? [17:48] Soxred93|n8: I was looking at something last night about the system beep. Hold on while I find it. [17:48] <|SonGoku|> fd [17:48] RebelZero: the filetextextension chould be txt? [17:48] can someone advise me on how to retrieve 2 Gb of space on a different partition and pull it into my new ubuntu install. I've used fdisk in the past, but can seem to figure out how to "pull one partition into another" ... it's formattted ast ext3 .. perhaps I need to delete it, then add it? [17:48] It's mainly because when someone pings me on IRC, it beeps using the internal speaker. When I'm asleep, I can't turn it off. [17:48] alphaaquilae: not necessary under Linux, but you can name it anything you like [17:49] okey got it [17:49] I want to be able to contril it with my desktop speakers [17:49] jjg: you may use parted to resize partitions - but be sure to have a backup [17:49] MasterOf1isaster .. ok .. do I need to do that from a live CD or can i do it from ubuntu harddrive install? [17:49] I'm on 8.04 and HPLIP is pretty out of date with version 2.8.2. The current version 3.9.8 supports my networked hp color laser. What's the best way to update? Is there a PPA available? [17:50] jjg: you should use a livecd [17:50] ok [17:50] Soxred93|n8: Hope this helps, I came across it while googling another problem. If it's not quite what you want, google is your friend [17:50] alphaaquilae: my brain and fingers aren't cooperating, that last command should have been: sudo apt-get add textfile [17:50] !flash [17:50] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [17:51] jjg: you might find a frontend to parted useful - e.g. gparted [17:51] alphaaquilae: the name of textfile to whatever you used [17:51] JonathanEllis: Umm... url? :) [17:51] Hey, I'm testing Pidgin's chat program can someone say hello with my with my name in in the text? [17:51] Soxred93|n8: Oops. Would have been helpful to include the link http://www.arsgeek.com/2006/08/23/how-to-turn-off-the-annoying-system-beep-in-linux-debianubuntu/ Hope this helps, I came across it while googling another problem. If it's not quite what you want, google is your friend [17:51] Heehee, thanks [17:51] I'll look at it. [17:51] !hi |homerhomer [17:51] homerhomer: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [17:51] !orphaned [17:51] Sorry, I don't know anything about orphaned [17:51] Sweet!, THanks [17:51] homerhomer: ping [17:51] jjg: resizing may take a long time - backing stuff up and repartitioning your hdd layout (and reinstalling) might be quicker. [17:52] !orphaned package [17:52] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [17:52] MasterOf1isaster .. i have an xp pro install already there, though [17:52] hi! please help---> convert h264 mp4 to avi? [17:52] I have it so I can close my chat windows but if someone says my username is pops up [17:52] Cheers [17:52] homerhomer: however pidgin isn't the best for irc.. great for IM chat.. for IRC try xchat (in the repos in synaptic).. don't load xchat-gnome though.. yick. [17:52] movela ... take a look at gstreamer i know it can do it [17:52] depends. I was amazed at how quickly the Gparted CD resized my partitions [17:52] Should i remove those orphaned packages in the remove orphaned packages? [17:53] homerhomer: Can you tell me how to setup pidgin like that - would be really useful [17:53] RebelZero: it doesn't recognize the command "add" [17:53] Yay, no more system beep, JonathanEllis [17:53] thanks jjg. [17:53] scunizi: I agree that it's not that best but it's nice to have a all-in-one chatter tool [17:53] Now to make IRC pings come out of my speakers, but I'll find a way myself. [17:53] Thanks a lot. [17:53] alphaaquilae: I'm sorry. I must not be fully awake yet. sudo apt-key add textfile [17:54] JonathanEllis: sure, [17:54] h.file in template puts full path in I.E. not Firefox. Anyone notice this? [17:54] love this channel [17:55] RebelZero for what apt-key use for ? [17:56] Should i remove those orphaned packages in the remove orphaned packages?

In Preferences there is a sounds page. [17:57] how do you make remote desktop vino work in hardy? [17:57] How do I turn on a virtual keyboard? [17:57] JonathanEllis: I'm using XChat [17:58] And I used /usr/share/sounds/question.wav as a new beep, and it works great now. [17:58] alphaaquilae: where did you save that text file? [17:58] hello again, looking to set up a email server on my ubuntu server and need to know a good one that can be accessed from a web browser [17:58] Should i remove those orphaned packages in the remove orphaned packages?

I setup a Virtualhost with a redirect. and it is not redireting. If you go to www.example.org or example.org it should redirect you to http://www.example.com. Here i sthe config http://pastebin.com/m7b639845 [17:59] even if i am located in the desktop [17:59] ? [17:59] I've severly hosed my permissions on /home.. I followed some online instructions pertaining to .dmrc, but so far, nothing is working. I've backed up all the data on an external drive. Can I from a root terminal delete my username, and add it back, thus creating a new /home? [17:59] JonathanEllis: If your using pidgin for chat enable these settings: In plugins. Turn on Message Notificaion and enable "Chat Windows" and Raise conversation and Present Conversation window. Second right click on you Chat room "#Ubuntu" in the main window and check auto-join and persistent. That it's [17:59] alphaaquilae: no... did you copy all 12 lines including the BEGIN and END lines exactly? [18:00] wpgmb: why not just fix the existing one? [18:00] for what apt-key use for ? [18:00] th0r: perfect - how? [18:00] wpgmb: do you know what permissions you want in your /home? It's much easier to just redo the permissions then to go the route you suggested. [18:00] helper: to manage authentication keys: man apt-key [18:00] scunizi: default permissions would be fine [18:00] should i go back to xp? i also am eyeing arch, centos or slackware.... [18:00] wpgmb: how did you bork it? changing owners or changing permissions?

[18:02] th0r: yeah.... firewire gave me grief on permissions, so I chmod-d the entire /home... dumb, dumb, dumb... [18:02] alphaaquilae: http://pastebin.com/m49dcce3c [18:02] excuse me if this question is stupid... but im still new with linux and i have to edit the /.bashrc file... what and where is it? :S [18:02] wpgmb: default permissions are 644 for text files and the like, 755 for directories [18:02] > hi guys. am using hardy. am on a laptop 1.8 ghz with 2 gb ram and running on intel 945 chipset. i built my custom system from an alternate install cd. now the problem is my Xorg eats a lot of processor cycles sometime [ though i havent installed compiz]. and my graphics is very very poor. i just get 336 from glxgears. any solutions???? should i go back to xp? i also am eyeing arch, centos...

[18:02] wpgmb: I think defaults are 755 so from terminal you'd "sudo chmod -R 777 /home/ [18:02] RebelZero: thks RebelZero i had an extra line :) [18:02] xzachtmx_: vi ~/.bashrc [18:02] wpgmb: oops.. make that 755 [18:02] homerhomer: Thanks. What is the persistent auto-join for? [18:03] scuzini: been there, done that. no luck in getting logged in [18:03] caule check #ldap maybe they know =) [18:03] alphaaquilae: excellent... yeah, a little thing like that can break the key [18:03] Ty MasterOf1isaster [18:03] i have installed netbeans and glassfish [18:03] wpgmb: This doesn't solve your problem, but it might help in the future: 'ls -ahlp --group-directories-first' [18:03] wpgmb: did you do it from the recovery boot option? that drops you to root [18:03] while configuring it asks for domain value [18:03] wpgmb: do you have any other accounts on the computer? [18:03] plz help [18:03] !enter [18:03] Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [18:04] th0r: maybe a "guest" [18:04] JonathanEllis: They auto-join automatically logs you in when you start Pidgin and Persistent will keep you logged in if you lose connection. [18:04] briefly [18:04] wpgmb: can you reboot into recovery mode? [18:04] if you lose connection briefly [18:04] th0r: yes - but only to the root terminal [18:04] Do you suggest a WYSWYG html editor? [18:04] NOO [18:05] wpgmb: You might also want to add ll='ls -ahlnp --group-directories-first' [18:05] to your alias. That will show you the permissions of home, then you can fix it with chown and chmod /shrug [18:05] wpgmb: give me a sec [18:05] Have anyone got to run Tibia in Ubuntu 9.04? [18:05] aboyz: try turning your rewrite rules off - perhaps one takes precedence? [18:05] gse7en: you lost me... where? from the root terminal? [18:05] wpgmb: booting recovery mode in the vm to make sure how this is done [18:05] homerhomer: Thanks. [18:05] th0r: k thx [18:06] JonathanEllis: No, prob [18:06] i want to set up a local repo for Kosovo [18:06] wpgmb My bad. Every user has an alias file in their home directory. You can edit that file and add that line to it, that way instead of typing "ls /home" you can type "ll /home" and it will display the permissions and owner. Then you know what needs fixed. [18:06] but i don't have the hardware [18:07] anyone wants to help me with this [18:07] heroid, have u ever registered glassfish i netbeans [18:07] wpgmb: boot into recovery mode. You should be able to change the files from there [18:08] wpgmb: you won't need sudo....just chmod -R 755 * [18:08] vikash, no [18:08] th0r: I tried chmodding /home to 755. I still get problems: first error is related to .dmrc not having 644 permissions [18:08] wpgmb: then go back and change the text files to 644 [18:08] will I run into issues if i install the hplip data files for version 3.x.x while running hplip version 2.x.x? [18:08] wpgmb: right....all config and text files will need 644 [18:08] wpgmb: might be easier to chmod -R 644 * and then change the directories to 755 [18:08] th0r: I changed .dmrc as well, followed some online instructions. But.. it's simply not working [18:09] th0r: I can try that.. [18:09] wpgmb: my .dmrc is 600 [18:09] th0r: any way to change directories only to 755? === fran is now known as Guest78705 [18:09] th0r: in a quick way? [18:09] wpgmb: not that I know of, but maybe someone else will chime in with a shortcut [18:10] th0r [18:10] th0r: k.. thx so far. [18:10] brb [18:11] wpgmb If you have access to Gnome, it'd be easy enough to select single folders in a group (Click + CTRL) and then change properties from there.

[19:28] GPL sudo su [19:28] yep [19:28] GPL, sudo, or for the rest of your session su [19:28] GPL: sudo -i [19:28] odinsbane, i cant find adobe flash player for linux 64 bit [19:29] did you go to that link I sent you? [19:29] http://www.opera.com/docs/linux/plugins/install/ i used the link on this page [19:29] Adobe Reader 1. Download the plug-in [19:29] this link [19:29] There is a link to adobe's website isn't that for the flash player? [19:29] ubuntistas: How can we help you today? [19:29] hey everyone [19:29] odinsbane, http://get.adobe.com/reader/otherversions/ thats this one, but ther ei s no linux 64 bit === freakynl is now known as Guest67171 [19:30] pw-toxic: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ [19:30] thanks all [19:30] well my friend see my questions [19:30] hi, soz to bug you with this but kinda in a hurry due to crashed san. does 9.04 server have a stock kernel of 2.6.29 or 2.6.30? Need it because of bugs in sata driver in earlier versions and need a way to install it to usb stick fast :) [19:30] odinsbane, but this is still not for 64 bit [19:30] odinsbane, furthermore it is for firefox.. [19:30] stock includes apt-get dist-upgrade oc [19:31] pw-toxic http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html [19:31] hi all [19:31] Guest67171: .28 [19:31] odinsbane, 30/7 wow thats new ;) [19:31] who knows ubuntu for omap 3035 ? [19:31] Been thinking about upgrading my "old" laptop with a few things, but the one thing I'm unsure of, is the wireless network card. The only one I've found is this one: Intel 4965AGN Next-Gen Wireless-N. I've got the other hardware required, so the question is: Will it work? [19:32] odinsbane, but the link fails.. i still cant choose 64bit... [19:32] ubuntistas: do you mean remove kubuntu kde and revert to gnome? or remove the kubuntu operating system so only windows or whatever is left? [19:32] pw-toxic: http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/flashplayer10/libflashplayer-10.0.32.18.linux-x86_64.so.tar.gz [19:32] Guest67171: Karmic (which is still very new alpha software) has .31 though, if you just need something to read/write once/whatever [19:32] the second one legend2440 [19:32] odinsbane, ah i see i have to use the link on the bottom [19:33] ubuntistas: Yes, you just remove the partition. Reinstall your windows bootloader, etc. If you're not dualbooting (but reinstalling windows, or whatever else), just do that. Reinstall the other OS. [19:33] Flannel: nah, need the san back up, ~30 machines need to run from it (vmware) [19:33] can anyone tell me how to supply default keyring password at login for gnome-do which asks it every time I login [19:33] Flannel: perhaps ubuntu backported the fix tho' [19:33] pw-toxic: before you try to install it, you should probably try to remove it from opera though. [19:33] debian did in 2.6.26.something [19:34] flannel see softpedia the section of linux , i didn't mess up with partitions [19:34] ubuntistas: http://www.raymond.cc/forum/linux/9367-how-to-remove-ubuntu-linux-from-dual-boot-tutorial.html [19:34] Guest67171: http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/main/l/linux/linux_2.6.28-14.47/changelog [19:35] ubuntistas: so you installed Ubuntu via wubi then? In that case, go to add/remove in windows, and remove it. [19:35] Guest67171: ah, if that's the case, then it's very likely fixed, yes. [19:36] ow goddddd [19:36] anyone used Barry in here before and is there a Ubuntu pkg for it? [19:36] kubuntu =guys [19:36] not i instaklled it via ubuntu [19:36] ubuntistas: It's the same thing. [19:37] g'day folks [19:37] good weekend [19:37] ubuntistas: You problem isn't clear, do you have kubuntu and want ubuntu back? [19:37] yea yeah [19:37] Flannel: do you have a way to install to usb from iso (ie not burn, no cd's :() [19:37] Flannel: i'm in a linux btw (but not ubuntu) [19:38] th0r I don' t suppose it's possible that this was caused by my video card swap? It's odd that if I lookin KInfoCenter at my PCI devices, it tells me I have a 512mb viedo card, when it's really 1gb (and reported as such in nvidia-settings).

[19:40] ubuntistas: well you probably still have the gnome desktop installed on your system, so you can just change the session. [19:40] does upstart has any replacement for the command update-rc.d? [19:40] ubuntistas: it also looks like you could do something along the lines of apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop [19:40] while i installed kubuntu dissapeared and i want the default internet manager of kubuntu any clue? [19:40] or ubuntu still uses update-rc.d for updating init scripts? [19:41] does Kubuntu have a netbook remix? [19:41] swathanthran: still update-rc.d [19:41] wicd disappearfed [19:42] Flannel: thanks.. i was almost sure, as the manpages had a dead silent about that. [19:43] I'm gonna reinstall Ubuntu >.> [19:43] I need a suggestion for a BW monitor that can record current bandwidth to a mySQL db [19:43] the problem is : Photoshop CS4 isnt running on Wine [19:44] GPL: and how does reinstalling solve that? [19:44] is "sudo apt-get install fslint" safe to use? [19:44] Flannel: if i give "update-rc.d -f gdm remove " and ~/.xinitrc having the /path/to/stumpwm/stumpwm it will load stumpwm directly right? [19:44] Guest67171: That's how i ll show my anger [19:45] GPL: well, if that helps for your mental state :) [19:45] ooops, i meant is "FSlint" safe to use?

[20:41] acajou: sure looks like it....good work. If you have a chance put it in the forums for others. [20:42] nacho_, nop gnome [20:42] ecolitan_ or is there a program that will mark them as bad? [20:42] maitrebn: did you check alsamixer? [20:42] th0r dunno if there's anything I can do to "fix" it? Ie still see 3.2gb on the 32bit os? [20:42] nacho_, yep ... everything is at max ... [20:42] hi can someone help my updates are not working always says E: /var/cache/apt/archives/linux-image-2.6.24-22-lpia_2.6.24-22.45netbook9_lpia.deb: files list file for package `libxcb-shape0' is missing final newline. any ideas [20:42] casey_ probably but you can google it as fast as me, why not just replace the drive? having a dodgy drive aint good [20:43] connor: try running sudo apt-get update [20:43] i'm trying to do this on not alot of money [20:43] acajou: I wouldn't even know how to start determining a fix. But it does sound like a hw conflict, which means there probably isn't much can be done [20:43] casey_, trust me, replace it. i did not replace mine and am now running off a USB drive because it crashed so hard [20:43] not even a low-level format can recover my old drive [20:43] th0r: OK, will post to the forums shortly. Thanks for all your help! [20:43] but 100 doorers is still pretty high [20:44] connor: what does "tail -1 /var/lib/dpkg/info/libxcb-shape0.list" return? [20:44] wil this is not on the mian d\hardrive [20:44] nacho_, before the update, someone make me reinstal alsa (with lasted version), i've try again but no change ... [20:44] 100? can get brand new 275gig drives or so for 60-70 bucks [20:44] casey_ you will need to know what FS is over the bad sector [20:44] maitrebn: do you have pulseaudio? [20:45] when you guys press your power button on your box, does it initiate a shutdown command ? [20:45] also, while i am here, i tried using the workaround to isable touchpad while typing and it did not work. any help? [20:45] nacho_, yes [20:45] ecolitan is there a program that will mark them as bad like checkdisk on windows? [20:46] maitrebn: try restarting pulseaudio, i had a similar problem and that solve it [20:46] casey_ that would involve finding out where the bad sector is, then looking n the master boot record and finding what partition is using that sector [20:46] how do i stop wget? [20:46] nacho_, how ? [20:46] connor: well, in any case, I'm probably going to end up recommending you "apt-get install --reinstall libxcb-shape0" and see if that fixes the problem. if it does, it begs the question of how that file was corrupted and what else was corrupted [20:46] dabj01: c [20:46] dabj01: ctrl+c or ctrl+d [20:46] dabj01 ctrl + c [20:47] maitrebn: i dont remember the full command but wait a minute and i tell you [20:47] i closed the terminal :P but my network monitor says it's still going [20:47] Need some help with a server that is freezing up and acting funny [20:47] dabj01: try killall wget [20:47] dabj01 pkill wget [20:47] it seems to freeze but some things keep working... just not most [20:47] ecolitan_ yea so is there a program that will do the automationly like checkdisk?

[22:06] zuz: Depending on how they are made you will need a floppy disk drive install on your computer and you will also need to make a MS DOS boot disk, then boot from it and then depending on the way they have set it up from there on the reset of the process may be fully automated semi-automated or manual.

I think barbrella was thinking about a 54Mbps wifi network being limited to about 6.4MB, but I thought you had said you were gigabit all the way [22:59] My comp is freezing and some people say 2.6.30 resolves this [22:59] GPL: But first you have to open yourself up to the mystical multiverse if you haven't done so already.

Industry std is Adobe (unfortunately) [23:12] th0r: ok, i'll play with that. i just wanted the flexibility of a true mount point. that last link to (unsupported) ftpfs looks good. i'll try to build me a module for that if i get sick of using filezilla [23:12] I will hopefully be right back [23:12] I need to restart compiz [23:12] fireftp +1 [23:12] How can I disable IPv6 in UNR?
