[00:14] eish [00:14] yes [00:14] I have to honestly say [00:14] dumont: -iname is just case-insensitive form of -name. I think you need exec to call a script instead of unrar'ing in place [00:14] ubuntu is poor quality [00:15] Cobra_Girl: which version of ubuntu are you using? [00:15] hardy heron [00:15] ic [00:15] 8.04 [00:15] for some reason mmap2 is failing with ENOMEM in gdbm ... and there is just no reason for it [00:15] dumont: in the script you can test for $1part01.rar existence and call unrar [00:15] and my disk crashed after the update to 9.04 [00:16] ubuntu should just disable the release update feature ... cos its basically a lie [00:16] Cobra_Girl: you might need a newer nvidia driver.. is there one available in the Hardy repos?

[00:23] for fl studio he could use it tho..Like having fl studio in windows [00:23] Kuifje111: i think its in ram/cache/tmp untill the shell exits.. [00:23] bloody pathetic, and Canonical tries to push ubuntu server to enterprise market ... [00:23] instead of 30fps, I'm seeing about 7fps [00:23] IndyGunFreak: yeah im not looking to run multiple os's just looking for an app that is available for Ubuntu.. im cchecking out that multimedia link [00:23] Cobra_Girl: Ahh I see [00:23] syntax, he asked for a program like fl studio, not how to use fl studio [00:23] ciao [00:23] dumont: You can also "apt-get install abs-guide" and look at /usr/share/doc/abs-guide/html/index.html [00:23] squarebracket, put the export in your .bashrc file [00:23] Dr_Willis: is there any other file where executed commands are being saved? [00:23] nothing matches with fl studio as well [00:23] Trust me [00:23] i use it [00:24] Kuifje111: never noticed. Never worried about it. whats the original problem? [00:24] pray they make a linux version of it [00:24] syntax, well he asked for instructions to ride a bike and you sent him instructions to build a car.

[00:25] i dont see any programs that can match fl studio imo [00:25] Dr_Willis: all right, thanks for your help. [00:25] on linux [00:25] syntax, but that wasn't the question [00:25] Kuifje111: if you have 2 shells going each has its own history.. so the saved history will not always be the one that did the work. [00:25] Dude dont take up for dude [00:25] let him talk [00:26] simple [00:26] hey guys, i am having problems with my audio (alsactl identifies as: "HDA-Intel" "Realtek ALC1200" "HDA:10ec0888,10de0175,00100101") .. it just doesnt play, i've checked just about all the forums and played with my "options snd_hda_intel" settings and ensured my sound was actually turned up.. the only odd thing is that if i boot off of a livecd, it works.. (but i get no video when booted from live cd, unrelated, so i cant trouble shoot from that) more info here: [00:26] syntax, i'm not, i'm telling you what he said.. pay attention [00:27] i know what he said and hes asking for a program like fl to work as a linux app [00:27] syntax, ok.. and you answered to use vbox [00:27] thatsnot a program "like fl" [00:27] You use fl in that duh [00:27] dude [00:27] be gone [00:27] moron [00:28] list [00:28] ..

[00:47] IndyGunFreak: i mean i am getting same error "get the latest flash player" [00:47] Spoink: If you had used a package instead of that silly installers, this would be three clicks.

[00:48] you also seem to have a problem following instructions [00:48] jollyroger: Stop whining, if somebody knows an answer to your question, he will probably tell you. [00:49] jrib: Thanks [00:49] trism, "Specimen Font Previewer" in the repos did what i needed [00:49] innomen: I'm not sure, it may have some keyboard shortcuts, but it isn't clear what they are [00:49] jollyroger, did that work to fix the problem? if so you can have it run on startup, until you find a better fix [00:49] innomen: I'll check it out [00:49] bankix: jedc already fixed the problem for me I was just thanking him. [00:49] trism, fontmatrix is more advanced than i needed [00:49] Hasanibrahim: There is a flash test page at the adobe website. Does that work. [00:49] trism, what i want oo should have done as part of the drag drop [00:50] trism, err drop down [00:50] bankix: no :( [00:50] jedc: I always had dcopserver running in 8.04 but apparently 9.04 doesn't do that. [00:50] ah [00:50] Loafers: Thx! Is there a way to list all installed packages? [00:50] Hasanibrahim: Which processor type and installation (32 bit / 64 bit) do you use? And are there any Firefox plugins like noscript etc? [00:51] Well thank you everyone and have a pleasant day. [00:51] Are there any programs I can get from Add/Remove that are almost exactly like iTunes? Because I have music, video, podcasts, and other stuff for my iPod [00:51] there is no plugin about flash and i am using 32 bit [00:51] Spoink: I think you might be able to run the installer file with a uninstall parameter, try running it with --help and see if it tells you anything === marvinp is now known as me [00:52] Hasanibrahim: Okay, if you enter "about:plugins", is there flash mentioned? === me is now known as marvinp [00:52] Spoink, Hmm this was the best I could find :(: http://tinyurl.com/2gbfxl [00:52] Shoe, gtkpod helps for administering ipod, its not a music player, but helpful for syncing or taking music off the ipod [00:53] hi guys, do i just sudo apt-get install compiz to install compiz? [00:53] Shoe, if it is an ipod touch or an iphone there is less support i believe [00:53] no bankix :( [00:53] It's an 80GB iPod. Bought about 3 years ago [00:53] computer, type aptitude search compiz and install the one you want [00:54] computer, yes, but i think it installed by default but that will tell you if that is the case [00:54] !seen jblack [00:54] I have no seen command [00:54] Shoe: also start using the synaptic package maanger not the 'add/remove' one . the ones in add/remove are a limited list of all avail packages. [00:54] <|kosh|> computer: compiz is installed by default on ubuntu [00:54] Hasanibrahim: Then the flash player is not properly installed. Use synaptic to install the package flashplugin-installer [00:54] /nick Digital_Warrior === Digital_Away is now known as Digital_Warrior [00:54] Loafers: very cool: 'For extra credit, you can find the locations of the files within a package from the list by using the dpkg -L command' [00:54] Shoe, or "apt-get install gtkpod" is quicker :p [00:55] Spoink, :) But I wish i knew a way to do a search for an installed program without looking at the entire list [00:55] thanks jedc and Dr_Willis [00:55] Loafers: grep? [00:56] computer, you may be wanting the setting manager for compiz - sudo apt-get install ccsm [00:56] Loafers: hmm this just shows what Synaptic shows. it doesnt list virtualbox [00:56] Spoink, I think if you do sudo aptitude search virtualbox it will list whats instaleld and whats not [00:56] Loafers: "dpkg -l name|grep ^ii" will list you only the installed packages. [00:56] jedc [00:56] I think you misspelled it [00:58] Shoe, nope, if it couldnt find it then you probably dont have universe enabled, you can enable it from System->Administration->Software Sources [00:58] Spoink: That's the crux, if you use the .run installer it operates outwith the packaging system, and all the organization goodness is lost. [00:59] could anyone help me? I've upgraded from 8.04 and my mic isn't working at all.. not in skype, sound recorder etc.. none of the fixes on the forum seem to work. [00:59] Shoe, or you might be forgetting sudo "sudo apt-get install gtkpod" [00:59] thats it [00:59] Shoe, sorry about that :p [00:59] bankix, are you sure that's the right command? I keep getting no packages found matching name and i typed firefox but it couldn't find that... [00:59] hey guys [01:00] !hi | Hilikus_ [01:00] Hilikus_: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [01:00] Spoink: That why I was asking if the version provided by ubuntu wasn't bleeding edge enough. [01:00] i'm trying to optimize my bootup time. how do i use bootchart? i don't understand the graph [01:00] bankix: awesome .. found an uninstall.sh .. worked! [01:00] Loafers: I just tried "dpkg -l firefox|grep ^ii" and it listed firefox. [01:01] bankix, Ah okay got it. Thanks! [01:01] Hi guys, i'm losing my hardwire soon and need to pick up a wireless card. Anyone know of any wireless-N adaptors that work with 9.04? [01:02] !wireless | MidasManchu [01:02] MidasManchu: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [01:02] Hilikus: The graph shows you which process is running over what time. From top to bottom is the order of the processes, from left to right the time they started and they were running. [01:03] [01:03] MidasManchu: iv'e been looking for some usb devices as well. [01:03] Loafers, I've already checked out those docs, but figuring out which adaptor is comaptible with which spec isn't overly obvious. [01:03] bankix, Just could you explain the command? So far what I udnerstand is debian package manager list searched name, but what does the ^ii do? [01:03] bankix: that much i know, but how can i tell which ones are slowing down the process, some of them run in paralell while some seem to block the progress [01:03] Hilikus: Maybe puzzeling is that bootchart also shows you the initrd processes. [01:03] MidasManchu: is it a PC or laptop === jeremy_c is now known as johndoey [01:03] desktop === johndoey is now known as jeremy_c [01:04] MidasManchu: honestly, if its a PC, i'd looka t some of the PCI options(assuming you have a PCI slot).. most of them seem to be atheros based, so they should be fairly easy... mos the usb ones, seem to be ralink. [01:04] MidasManchu, Hmm try typing the brand name and if your lucky it might list whats compatible and what's not. [01:04] i'm trying to serve static files (still in development) so that my templates will be displayed with a stylesheet. the stylesheet is being served (i can go to its url and see it), but none of my templates are being displayed with the stylesheet. can someone help me understand what's going on? [01:04] here are my URLconf's: http://pastebin.com/d14c8657b [01:04] Loafers: Normally, dpkg -l lists all _known_ packages matching that name (where "*" is allowed, e.g. "fire*"), regardless if they're installed or not. [01:05] I have a problem with package global E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1). Using 9.04. Is it a serious problem? How can I fix? [01:05] streblo, which cms are you using? [01:05] Hello, I need help for another background issue. I've pasted some code here: http://drupalbin.com/10905 -- what I'm trying to do is have .bckleft and .bckright stretch down to the entire height of the page -- but with the code described, it only stretches up to the fold of the browser, if you scroll down, there's no background. Any idea how to get these two divs to stretch down to the bottom of the page for real? Than [01:05] ks! [01:05] oh damn, this is the wrong channel, sorry [01:05] bankix, ok thanks [01:05] Loafers: The first two characters show the status -- ii are installed, un are uninstalled etc. [01:05] I have a usb disk I keep my secret keys (ssh, gpg) on. I keep an ext3 partition for that purpose so permissions are set OK, but there are user permission problems - my UID on my home machine is different to my work machine. Any solutions for this? using FAT won't allow me to chmod 600... [01:05] woups wrong channel too [01:05] thanks anyway MidasManchu [01:05] no sweat [01:05] excuse me folks... anybody knows how to activate an ATI video-card? [01:05] Loafers: Due you only wanted installed packages, you use "grep ^ii" which searches for "ii" at the beginning of the line. [01:06] Hilikus: That's not easy to tell. [01:06] Hilikus: Look for single processes taking long time, then you'll have your time eaters. [01:06] bankix: that's the thing, you can't really tell what's long time [01:06] bankix, Ic. what does the asterisk do? [01:06] Hilikus: The more you look on the upper left, the more single processes you'll find. [01:07] Loafers: Asterisk is a wildcard. "dpkg -l fire*" will list you all packages starting with "fire". [01:07] some just stay there the whole time, but they don't block anything [01:07] bankix, ok thanks a bunch! [01:07] Hilikus: Then they're no blockers. [01:08] so which ones are? [01:08] Hilikus: It's not easy to find a time eater in ubuntu 9.04. It's already pretty much cut to the bones. [01:08] Um_cara_qualquer, are there any available under System->Administration->Hardware Drivers? [01:08] bankix: oh really? :s [01:08] anyone using Google Chrome Browser ? === mac9416 is now known as macOut [01:08] Hilikus: Upload the graph somewhere, maybe I find one.

[01:10] Is the latest Google Chrome Beta build from the PPA for Jaunty worth a crap ?

[01:11] LordLandon: I can get past that, for day to day operations, is it fairly stable, and is it honestly faster than ff3.5 ? [01:11] Dr_Willis: it worked i copies xorg.conf from sabayon live cd:) [01:11] ubuntu server will work on a dual-cpu motherboard, right ? [01:11] k can anyone tell me how to pick up other peoples wireless signals around me [01:12] is anybody user acer aspire one A0751h with ubuntu? [01:12] Hilikus: One time eater is readahead-list -- but if you remove this, the rest of the boot process will probably slow down [01:12] ipfw: compared to? I haven't used it in a while but I'm not sure how the flash/java support goes, and I do think it's faster, though possibly more unstable. [01:12] bankix: i read that [01:12] Um_cara_qualquer, click on the driver you want and click Activate, usually one of them has [Recommended] after it, but it might not i have an nvidia card [01:12] how do I change the default browser so that swiftfox is launched when I click a link in a terminal? [01:12] Hilikus: And of course udev is time consuming, but nothing to do about this.

[01:13] ipfw: Forced to make a choice? Run both? [01:13] bankix: what about that wpa_supplicant? i don't have wifi, this is a desktop [01:13] can i speed up ubuntu boot times? [01:14] Hilikus: And smartd. [01:14] arand: thinking of testing it on mine, leaving the wifes system alone, she has a low tolerance for computer glitches [01:14] Hilikus: wpasupplicant -> WPA Wireless [01:14] I download Catalyst Control Center (display driver) (for linux) and, suprise suprise, its "not compatible". I cant see anything [01:14] Im in windows [01:14] Um_cara_qualquer, hmm, you could try to install envyng-gtk, it is supposed to download the appropriate drivers and install them for you, but i havent used it with an ati card [01:14] right now [01:14] server_side: that's exactly what we're talking about but it seems there isn't much to cut [01:14] server_side: Not much I think. [01:14] arand: was thinking of giving the windows version a shot through wine as well, just for grins [01:14] Stargazer, if it's dual x86 with normal firmware, yeah. if it's other architectures... Well, you can get builds that'll probably work. (if it isn't normal firmware, specifically designed to not work with something else, probably not, but such things are quite rare) [01:15] I'm using VSFTP to upload files. When file is uploaded, i'm trying to make it "hide" from owner. (chown_username, umask_local), but no matter what, Vsftpd put ownership so uploader can see it. How can I hide file from whoever uploads to ftp? [01:15] bankix: how do i disable that or what?? [01:15] yeah, i mean its fast enough, i love it compared to other distros. but you always have to try and push it :) [01:15] jedc why the first time i installed ubuntu it recognized the video card instantaneosly? [01:15] Hilikus: These are daemons/services started via init scripts. See update-rc.d [01:15] anyone ever had a problem with the 'global' package in Ubuntu 9.04? [01:15] Um_cara_qualquer, how do you know that your video card isnt working? [01:17] when i go to system -> administration -> hardware drivers... it opens a window that says i don't have any being used right now [01:17] Hilikus: Takes about 20 seconds till gdm starts. That's pretty fast. Perhaps you can safe 3 or 4 seconds by disabling some services... but that's all then, I think. [01:17] Hilikus: Once Ubuntu really uses upstart, it will be much faster. gdm cold be startet a lot earlier. [01:17] I've got a hp pavilion note book.. sound wasn't working, so I had killed pulse audio and changed everything to use alsa in the sound preferences... still no sound... what more should I do? [01:18] whats a good desktop widget program for monitoring pc performance and resources? [01:18] I can't find any good themes for ubuntu that aren't knock-offs of windows/mac. Any suggestions (I've checked gnome-look) [01:18] bankix: well the whole benchmark is stupid, i measured it and it takes 59seconds from grub to a wallpaper in gnome. i don't know when the bootchart script is loaded but it does not take 25 secs [01:18] proh: There are alternative drivers. Open Sound System (oss). Are required for some very _rare_ cards. [01:18] Um_cara_qualquer, what version of ubuntu are you using? [01:18] 9.04 [01:18] anyone care to help with my sound issue: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7765764 [01:18] Is there a better terminal app out there? [01:19] aterm? eterm?

No luck [01:19] maybe that's why... i usually used 8.10... [01:19] elec, i'll look into those thank you [01:19] proh: You did try OSS as wellß [01:19] ß [01:19] ?

[01:20] uahauha nice [01:20] I dl'ed a Graphics driver that crashed my computer [01:20] lets see [01:20] bankix: which one is that? [01:21] Hilikus: It's not on that graph, because bootchart ends when the last init script is executed. [01:21] Um_cara_qualquer, hopefully your card isnt on that list and the solution works [01:21] exactly [01:21] i guess... [01:21] arand: spesifically what i'm afetr is control shift arrow to jump words [01:21] my lssusb can see my webcam, but i can't use it [01:22] and maybe a working control c [01:22] brb... i'll try that [01:22] ubuntu server can handle dual-cpu, right ? [01:22] Alright, certain Java programs I use frequently (including FrostWire) ceased working a few weeks ago, and now I've decided I need some of them again. If I uninstall OpenJDK and reinstall Sun Java, will that probably fix things? [01:22] I dl'ed a Graphics driver that crashed my computer [01:22] is there a connector for exchange server 2007 in evolution [01:23] Hilikus: What strikes me strange is that you have a very low disk thoughput but a very high disk utilization. [01:23] Hilikus: I think you use ext3 filesystem? [01:23] bankix: yes, except for home [01:23] Hilikus: What are you using for home? [01:23] bankix: jfs [01:24] Luig1, probably? [01:24] dassouki: lsusb only tells you, that the device a such has been recognized. dmesg will tell you, if ubuntu has the according driver for your device. Read the output of dmesg and look for your device and souspicious messages. [01:24] hmm, anyone here run wow under wine? [01:24] Hi.

[01:25] Hilikus: I don't know how jfs performs. But look at the graph (second) yourself: At the end of the boot process, the disk access hits the ceiling and the thoughput sinks to the ground. [01:25] SunStealer, yes it works well except you need the newest version of wine and there is a bug with the install where you cant click accept for the licence agreement you need to google for [01:25] Are there any advantages to remaining with OpenJDK? [01:25] why does my computer not appear in my own samba menu in network under the "places" menu, but I can see my other computer in there perfectly fine? [01:26] koolkat: Probably because you did not set up samba yet. [01:26] Hi guys, I'm having this weird disk crash, where Sytem Monitor see my 450Go of occupied disk, but a du -sh on the same disk gives me 65Mo [01:26] Luig1, only philosophical ones i think [01:26] jedc: hmm, well I have gotten it installed and kind or running. It just is "black" when i start it. I get the sound (the dragon flying) and i can tab-login... but the screen is just black. And I can't see any error messages when running it from terminal either, so it is a bit weird [01:26] sergei1: Which driver? [01:26] bankix: how do you setup samba? [01:26] Good.

[01:38] koolkat: What did I tell you to do? I told you to start system-config-samba and configure your shares. [01:39] koolkat: Why do you expect installing a configuration tool will read your mind and do whatever you intended? [01:39] Hilikus: That's the one. [01:40] koolkat: You'll find system-config-samba in your system settings menu. [01:40] xps9000: not at all [01:40] koolkat: Called just "Samba". [01:40] update-rc.d: /etc/init.d/wpa-ifupdown exists during rc.d purge (use -f to force) [01:40] is it ok to force it? i don't reall understand the error so i don't want to [01:40] Hilikus: Yes, force it. [01:41] bankix: I told you I did that [01:41] should i chown php5-cgi as well? [01:41] koolkat: Okay, and _what_ did you configure? [01:41] ubuntu: Can you get ahold of Gibson's Spinrite? I'm confident that it'll recover the drive, I run it every few months for maintenance. [01:41] do we absolutely need to install wmtile to add Window Tiling functionality? [01:41] bankix: my shares [01:42] koolkat: So you added a new share? [01:42] Is there a way to make a multi iso live dvd/cd of a bunch of mini linuxes? [01:42] bankix: that was the 2nd thing I did [01:43] koolkat: Good. What workgroup do you use in the server settings? [01:43] ProfOak: I am sure there is away, make sure you are using a multi session setting on the burner. Though, personally, I have not tried. [01:44] bankix: workgroup [01:44] ProfOak: Do you mean something like putting three or four .iso images onto one CD and select then which to boot? [01:44] koolkat: Is that the workgroup of your windows machines? [01:44] bankix: Yes [01:45] <|kosh|> screenshot: http://donlindsay.wordpress.com/2009/08/11/one-three-three-t/ [01:45] ProfOak: Then a multisession CD is no help. [01:45] bankix: I figured [01:45] ProfOak: This would mix up the files of the isos. [01:45] bankix: that's the workgroup of all my machines [01:45] ProfOak: When I tried it last time, there was no solution to boot several .iso from one CD/DVD, sorry. [01:46] if I have a directory listing from ls where a directory has a background color of green, what does that mean? [01:46] ProfOak: The problem is there would have to be some emulator or hypervisor mapping the .iso to a (virtual) optical drive. [01:46] Anyone have experience with SANE backends? [01:46] does it mean it is other writable ? [01:46] bankix: there's actually a project that does this, but all the distros are out of date [01:46] Prof0ak: Please, follow the directions here: http://www.math.nyu.edu/aml/CDwrite.html I believe it will suit your needs. [01:46] anyone up to helping a beginner? x_x [01:47] koolkat: Hm. Is there any firewall installed on your ubuntu machine? [01:47] jiralface Just ask a question [01:47] jiralface: ask to ask to ask first [01:47] bankix: I don't think so [01:47] Does anyone here have a process in their system manager in which the ID constantly changes, and the process has no name? [01:47] ProfOak: Interesting! Could you post a link to that (even outdated) project? [01:47] ok yeah it looks like if a directory listing has a background color of green from ls in ubuntu... it means the dir is other user writable [01:47] bankix: that didn't do it. the wpa daemon is still running [01:48] koolkat: I did set up a share just a few days ago using system-config-samba, and there were no problems. [01:48] koolkat: Strange. [01:48] bankix: Sure, it's called "Multi Iso LiveDVD Security" If you search that (for future references) that would yield results [01:48] something else is starting it [01:48] okay. i just installed ubuntu on my desktop, and i'm in the process of getting my wireless card to work. i'm using ndiswrapper. got the driver installed and the alias written [01:48] Hilikus: Of course, it would disappear first on the next bootup. [01:48] bankix: yes, i just rebooted [01:48] bankix: http://www.darknet.org.uk/tag/multi-iso-dvd/ I love darknet [01:48] bankix: I can see files on the other computer just fine [01:48] im having trouble understand and installing inkscape. it is a .tar.gz. I already extracted it to a home folder, but now im lost on what to do [01:48] but when i do ifconfig wlan0 up it gives me SIOCSIFFLAGS: no such file or directory [01:49] Anyone here see a process in their System Monitor that has no name and has an ID that keeps changing? [01:49] bankix: just not on my own [01:49] hrm, im trying to autostart vncserver.. i did cd /etc/rc3.d && lln -s /usr/bin/vncserver S99vncserver ... & its not working, any ideas? [01:49] Of course, Magiciso works fine too, for multi-boot dvds. [01:49] Window tiling howto ? [01:49] where is the default ls dircolors for unbuntu 9.04 stored? [01:49] lln -s isn [01:49] ''the right command for creating a symlink, it's ln -s. typo maybe? [01:49] koolkat: Seeing other shares involves only the samba client, but presenting shares requires a running server. [01:49] zefyx: /usr/bin/vncserver is not an rc startup script, so you can't do that... [01:50] I dl'ed a Graphics driver that crashed my computer. What do I do because it wont start? [01:50] oh? [01:50] hrm.. [01:50] what should i change it too? [01:50] jiralface: did you read http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-wireless-networking-41/siocsifflags-no-such-file-or-directory-184147/ ? [01:50] ahh, /etc/init.d/vncserver [01:50] ? [01:50] Anyone here have an unnamed process running? [01:50] zefyx: you can add it to startup apps. [01:50] zefyx: better... [01:51] ProfOak: Hmpf, only a torrent link. [01:51] bankix: they say you have to open ports 137-139, 445. does that mean port forwarding? [01:51] that was a durh moment :p [01:51] bankix: It's not worth it. I waited so long and tried it out. Be glad that you know the version numbers before you dl'd. [01:51] zefyx: see also update-rc and "bum" for easy ways to manage startup scripts.. [01:51] ProfOak: I would like to have a look into the ISO. According to the description, they remastered the ISO. [01:52] test34: i did read that [01:52] hrm.. [01:52] koolkat: These ports refer to a firewall. [01:52] still not working =\ [01:52] Prodego: Do you happen to know why one would have an unnamed process whose ID is constantly increasing? [01:52] bankix: There needs to be an easy way to do it [01:52] anyone know where DIRCOLORS settings for ls are stored ? [01:52] bankix: actually, that would be a good coding project [01:52] I mean, ProfOak * [01:52] test34: and i tried the dmesg command, it gave me a huge list of things i had no idea what to do iwth === draz|lab is now known as drazak [01:53] zefyx: does it work when you run it manually... [01:53] Snares What? I didn't ask about processes. [01:53] bankix: do I have to open the ports on my router? how would I do that? [01:53] ProfOak, I know, I'm asking about them :) [01:53] ProfOak: I can't figure out why there is an unnamed process with an ID that keeps changing... [01:53] jiralface: you could tried pasting the output of dmesg on a pasting website and giving out the link here [01:53] * Prodego waves === Carlos is now known as Guest27774 === andi is now known as Guest3871 [01:54] running /usr/bin/vncserver works. [01:54] koolkat: Are the windows machines and your ubuntu machine in the same physical network? Connected via a switch? Or ist here a router between them? [01:54] Snares: run ps axf and see if it has a parent pid... [01:54] Snares can you post a screenshot of the process? [01:54] test34: err...my ubuntu machine doesn't have any connectivity..what should i do [01:54] jiralface: copy it on a disk === c is now known as charitwo [01:54] bankix: they're all ubuntu machines and there's a router between them. [01:54] jiralface try: dmesg | grep -i whatYouLookin4 === jforte is now known as Jena [01:54] usb or floppy or cd === Guest27774 is now known as campusano [01:55] koolkat: Why didn't you mention this earlier? I thought you're speaking of a local network... [01:55] if i build a package from source will it overwrite the package installled from synaptic? [01:55] bankix: i am [01:55] jiralface: dmesg > dmesg_output.txt [01:55] A process called "Firefox" changes all the time its PID. How can I kill it as its PID changes every time I look at "ps u"? [01:55] koolkat: Then you'll have to do some heavy router reconfiguration. [01:56] http://img43.imageshack.us/img43/2312/screenshotdevsdagparted.png anyone see that, How can I give more space to my sda3/windows partition? Also, how do I use grub to dual boot either sda1 or sda3 [01:56] koolkat: Not only editing the router firewall, but also install port forwarding for the mentioned samba ports. [01:56] zefyx: running /usr/bin/vncserver is not the same as running /etc/init.d/vncserver. Does the latter work? [01:56] koolkat: is it a home network running with a 'multiport' consumer router or an actual router [01:56] if a ./configure runs once but warns of not having libhal-storage-dev and libhal-storage1 can i run ./configure again and all will be ok? [01:57] heo: sudo killall firefox [01:57] filgy: its a consumer router [01:57] mazda01_: in general, you can run configure as many times as you like. But if it needs libhal-storage-dev and you don't have it, eventually the compile will fail... [01:57] mazda01_: you can run it again after depends have been satisfied, but you could also run make clean just to be sure. [01:57] koolkat: If you see your samba share under Places/Network, then samba is configured properly. [01:57] heo: sudo killall -9 firefox would work too. [01:57] koolkat: (on your ubuntu machine, seeing your own share) [01:57] koolkat: like linksys or something? in that case your local network is technically operating through a switch... [01:57] losher: i know, i am installing what it needs now. [01:58] mazda01_: then autotec's advice is good... [01:58] bankix: he's connected through a switch with his local network. not router it sounds like [01:58] ProfOak: It's just the first process listed...weird it seems to be gone now. It was "Process name - "Status Sleeping" "ID 0-" "Waiting Channel " [01:58] losher, no [01:58] doesnt work [01:58] autotec: what is the command to run after make but before make install to have it make a deb for easy uninstalling [01:58] filgy: so I have nothing to worry about? [01:58] ? [01:58] mazda01, you could tell configure where to install it to make sure its doesnt overwrite the old one (./configure --prefix /home/user/program maybe) [01:58] -su: /etc/init.d/vncserver: No such file or directory [01:58] sorry about question mark [01:58] test34, do yu know any pasting websites? [01:59] pastie.org [01:59] ProfOak: Nvm, it's randomly appearing again. [01:59] zefyx: do a find / -name vncserver and you'll see where the exectuable is and then just add the command you want to your startup apps. [01:59] koolkat: i'm not sure what your initial problem was... i just saw the thing about editing router tables by bankix and figured you might actually be using a home router/switch combo [01:59] geneticx: mazda01_ This boy is rock bottom. The Commands "sudo kill -9 firefox" did not kill it. Rootkit? [01:59] thats what i did earlier [01:59] i don't make debs sorry, make install installs program [01:59] jiralface: pastebin.com or is it pastebin.org? [01:59] its at /usr/bin/vncserver [02:00] heo: sudo killall firefox-bin ; sudo killall firefox [02:00] test34: http://pastie.org/579391 [02:00] heo: it's sudo killall firefox [02:00] what test34 says [02:00] Snares: read post #17 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vino/+bug/340515 [02:00] Ok so instead of having the multiISO bootable DVD, I'm just gonna use virtual box [02:00] ok, bankix what should my next step be? [02:00] <[KirinoxzerO]> good night or morning [02:00] legend2440: TYVM! [02:01] zefyx: I see. When you said: ahh, /etc/init.d/vncserver I assumed you'd found a startup script. Apparently vncserver doesn't come with one. You're going to have to write your own. Doesn't that sound like fun? [02:01] jiralface: it looks like it doesn't find the firmware : [ 2267.323640] b43legacy-phy0 ERROR: Firmware file "b43legacy/ucode2.fw" not found or load failed. [02:01] anyone know why I get white flashiness when I run openGL makes it really hard to use things like google earth [02:01] test34: mazda01_ Your commands give an error message: "firefox: no process killed". I can still find it with "ps aux | grep firefox". [02:01] hey, i'm on Hardy. I tried once install and seutp virtualbox and it could not find my wifi. how do i make wifi work in virtualbox? [02:01] My dvd drive on my laptops lights up and opens when I push the button before ubuntu starts up (dell bios screen, in grub). but will not open or light up once inside ubuntu. Why? [02:01] losher: you don't have to write a startup scrip to get an app to start after bootup. just put the command you'd run from a terminal in the startup apps within system , preferences [02:02] test34: how do i fix that? i know i should be going over to ndis for help about it but i'm being ignored, sadly [02:02] bankix: [02:02] test34: any help would be really really appreciated [02:02] I am swapping continously - and when I boot also, it takes a lot of time when it reaches the swap - can I clean it ? How can I see what is in there [02:02] heo: i don't know then. sudo killall firefox or sudo killall firefox-bin should work. if it doesn't then try to restart your machine. otherwise can't help you. [02:02] zefyx: see mazda01_ post above. Thanks mazda01_... [02:02] heo: did you try firefox-bin [02:03] Snares: can you right click on that process and choose Open Files. may give a clue if its vino or something else [02:03] koolkat: Have a look at "Network" in the menu "Places". Does there show up the share of your very own ubuntu machine? [02:03] Hi, my usb hard drive gets unmounted and remounted when I don't use it for a while, and then when I try a command I get "ls: reading directory .: Input/output error". Can anyone help? [02:03] test34: Yes. It won't kill it. [02:03] legend2440: I cannot. The problem is, the ID is constantly changing. [02:03] bankix: no I said [02:03] I partition /dev/sda1, 5, 6, etc. How do I see how those map to grub. Shouldn't they have a hd0, hd3? [02:03] heo: try kill -9 {the process number} [02:03] koolkat: A, sorry, did not see this. [02:03] zefyx: if you must do it 'the old fashioned way', see if there's something here you can adapt: http://www.realvnc.com/pipermail/vnc-list/2001-February/020413.html [02:04] koolkat: Then there is a configuration error with your samba server. [02:04] i agree with bankix windows file sharing worked out of the box for me on hardy. [02:04] funkja: the process number changes on the fly. It is impossible. [02:04] bankix: no problem [02:04] Every time I try to star frostwire it claims to be unable to find the JRE binary anywhere. I reinstalled Sun Java and it didn't help. I'm thinking this is a packaging problem, so I'm here. [02:04] by the way, I'm using Jaunty 32 bit. [02:04] bankix: then what should I do [02:04] jiralface: sorry I never used ndis... but the solution might be at: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=985761 [02:04] koolkat: Maybe out would help if you pastebin the /etc/samba/smb.conf [02:05] heo: ssh on the right box ? [02:05] blbrown: no.. sda is hd0, sda1 is hd0,0 [02:05] kill it thru the GUI thru the process app [02:05] heo: pastie the output of : ps aux [02:05] blbrown: grub starts counting at zero. :) [02:05] bankix: maybe what would help?

I know what /dev/sda1, 3 is etc [02:08] bankix: if he running home edition of windows, then I think some xyz administrator HAS to be logged in, yes? [02:08] that is if he running windows share.

[02:12] foobarbecue - yes proftpd is ftp server [02:12] foobarbecue: or you can look at the startup script for tftp and see if the command logs to a certain file. i am not familar with tftp [02:12] koolkat: You'll have to give us the pastebin url so we could see your config.

[02:23] I need to change it for my system.. so that mail and other things will work [02:24] chris_lenz123... I know its cheating but you could always reboot [02:24] I cannot understand. [02:24] whats the best way to send audio to a different computer's sound card? [02:24] donovan_ "glxinfo | grep vendor" in the terminal [02:24] justPatrick: im trying to install something and its telling me i need to install SDL 1.2 [02:24] bonez46: Couldn't you just change it in /etc/hostname? *shrug* [02:24] can somebody help me get world of warcraft to work with my computer? [02:24] i dont understand [02:24] heo: funny.. you will see the grep process [02:24] nick125: is that all that's needed? [02:25] Zappon: hum, really strange, 'cause SDL comes installed by default, can you tell me what you are trying to install? e what version of ubuntu are you using? [02:25] heo: but firefox isnt really running [02:25] Zappo: By default, libsdl 1.2 is already installed. [02:25] bonez46: Try that and add your FQDN to /etc/hosts (the loopback line) [02:25] I searched around and couldn't find much information about the Asus Xonar HDMI 1.3av, is there support for this in ubuntu? I'd really like to get LPCM out on my HTPC. [02:25] justPatrick ... thanks but that didnt give me the actual version of the drivers just the vendor [02:25] Zappo: How did you install that programm? With a .run file, or a package? [02:25] justPatrick: im on 9.04 im trying to install Aleph One. [02:26] can somebody please help me figure out what to do to my computer to make it able to run world of warcraft through wine? [02:26] Coral, you just install wine and then run wine "path to installer" [02:26] donovan_ do you know wich videocard you have? [02:26] Coral: the wine app database discuss that program in aganozing detail. Theres proberly a forum thread on it also. === shamm is now known as LinuxGold [02:26] test34: mazda01_ Is it the Grep process? http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/175588/firefox.png [02:27] justPatrick: i dont really know what to call it. i got it from source .bungie.org [02:27] !appdb | Coral [02:27] Coral: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [02:27] heo: yes [02:27] heo: that why the PID always changes.. [02:27] test34: lolz :) [02:27] test34: never thought that. Thank you. [02:27] nick125: after changing those.. anything i have to do to update the system so that it will be recognized, for those changes? [02:27] Zappo: is libsdl1.2-dev installed? [02:27] hi which command do i run to check if fastcgi is running?? [02:28] Zappo i think you download the source code of this software, so if you need to compile it from source, you should install libsdl1.2-dev [02:28] bonez46: Easiest would be to reboot. [02:28] So noone knows anything about the Asus Xonar HDMI card? I found info that the Xonar it self is supported but nothing about the HDMI version. [02:28] ok.. [02:29] Ok, I need someone's help in troubleshooting my Ubuntu box, it won't boot. [02:29] Oh BTW, hello. :) [02:29] Volt9000 kind of vague there [02:29] justPatrick: i will try now [02:29] what is a [02:29] Volt9000, is it plugged in? [02:29] oops [02:29] Ok, I Just wanted to make sure someone was paying attentiont [02:30] Volt9000 what have you done for it to not boot? :p [02:30] Supermiguel: oooh that's what it was! ;) [02:30] Volt9000, :) [02:30] ok, seriously, so here's what happened [02:30] Had a major power outage, and now the box won't boot. Gets to the splashscreen and the progress bar, then says it needs to run a file system check [02:30] Gets to 4% then dumps me to a terminal window, complaining that it died with exit status 4 [02:30] I do some checking and find that my file system is mounted as read only. [02:30] Volt9000, what brand is the HD? [02:31] WD === ecto is now known as ectospasm [02:31] Volt9000: Then use a live cd, preferably Ubuntu, and run the fsck manually. [02:31] Everything was working perfectly fine before the power outage. [02:31] Volt9000, hmm could be a corrupted HD [02:31] Volt9000: use a livecd and do an offline fsck [02:31] Volt9000, go to WD website and download their testing tool, sounds like a bad HD [02:31] Volt9000: In the shell, run fsck.ext3 on the drive [02:31] Oh crap [02:31] when starting wpa_supplicant manually, how do I know that a connection has been successfully established? I bet it doesn't say YEAH FINALLY YOU GOT IT, does it? [02:31] I REALLY REALLY hope it's not a bad hard drive :( [02:31] Yeah I dont have a livecd, downloading one now. [02:31] Volt9000, http://support.wdc.com/product/download.asp?lang=en [02:31] does anyone have power saving suggestions? I have many many different apps and utilities: powertop, laptop-mode, acpi, acpi-tools, powewrtools, and powersave. But Ubuntu still drains more power than my tinyxp partition [02:32] Ok, do I need to specify any special arguments when running fsck.ext3? [02:32] Or do I just run it and specify the device? [02:32] Volt9000, run the diags from the wd page... [02:32] Sheeeeiiiiiiiiiiiit.... :( [02:32] Volt9000: fsck.ext3 /dev/yourdisk [02:32] Alright, I'll give it a go, thanks [02:32] Volt9000, just a 2mb file.. [02:32] Volt9000: But maybe it's wise to keep a backup. [02:32] Yes I do have a backup [02:33] HenWen do you have compiz enabled? try to disable it, because video card is very baterry demanding [02:33] Volt9000: read post #6 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=367644 [02:33] And in fact, funny thing, yesterday I said to myself, "Self, you need to back things up now. Do it tomorrow" [02:33] then an hour later, power outage [02:33] So, it would REALLY REALLY suck if the hard drive is dead. [02:33] hey, is this the place where I can ask questions? [02:33] Volt9000, what you get for talking to your self ;) next time act lol [02:33] yes flapjacks [02:33] BTW, that WD page doesn't seem to be loading :( [02:33] sweet. ok I'm having world of warcraft patching problems [02:34] I need to get from 2.3.0 to 3.0.1 [02:34] flapjacks, woot [02:34] flapjacks, check out the wine channel or their forums [02:34] I did :( [02:34] no help there. [02:34] that's likely the only place you'll find help [02:34] OH wait [02:34] you mean the irc [02:34] ok then [02:34] yeah they have an IRC too [02:34] whats the channel [02:34] hi guys. getting a weird one & don't quite know where to look. I'm running 2 turnkey-linux clients as VM's & all's good so far. installed netcat on one & telnet on another, allowed the port open on the receiving end via the webmin tool (IPTables), but I'm getting a "connection refused" error when trying to connect, even though I see it available via nmap [02:34] hi all does anyone know if rtorrent can pre-allocate files? [02:34] flapjacks: #wine [02:35] Patrick: I have Ubuntu Netbook Remix, no compiz [02:35] I believe Compiz is a bunch of fancy GUI effects right? === andi is now known as Guest11859 [02:35] HenWen, yes [02:35] it is just very confusing to have so many different power monitoring tools, scripts, etc. [02:36] Hello, how can I partition my secondary harddrive with fdisk and do partitions of 20 gb each? [02:36] flapjacks: Do have in mind that it's a very slow and quiet channel, so answers might take a while [02:36] I am very new to ubuntu and doing everything is pretty user-friendly except trying to achieve this tweak [02:36] When I tried it told me sectors, im not good with sectors [02:36] HenWen: correct, compiz is for glame and pizaze [02:36] I sudo apt-get dist-upgrade in a console shell, but then I hit Alt+F4, now the console is gone, but the apt-get still running, how do I get it back to a shell? [02:36] if that's how you spell pisaze? [02:36] still trying to get youtube to work in firefox [02:36] ircleuser, use gparted instead its easier [02:36] help... === ircleuser is now known as gabriel === gabriel is now known as gabrielp [02:37] doug__ im not using desktop === saulus_ is now known as SauLus [02:37] yoga: go back to your original shell, most likely alt-f7 [02:37] its a server installation [02:37] smrtgyz: try reinstalling flash [02:37] gabrielp, then use cfdisk it's a bit easier as well [02:37] doug_ your a star, thank you [02:38] mazda01_: the origional shell is gone, I hit Alt+F4 by mistake. === Guest11859 is now known as naked_shasHa [02:38] Supermiguel: what 2MB file? on WD's website the DOS download is 29MB.... [02:38] :P [02:38] Well I'm downloading [02:38] i get configure error. : Fatal error: no fam or gamin detected when trying to compile from source pcmanfm [02:38] any suggestions? [02:38] Volt9000, quicker then a 600mb live cd :) [02:38] What's a good program to burn a bootable DVD? [02:39] err compiz is for glame and pizaze... I don't know what those are [02:39] Doug__: yes indeed [02:39] I guess I can see if it is installed via package manager [02:39] I started apt-get dist-upgrade, can I just kill the prcocss an start over again? I lost the origional shell. [02:39] Volt9000, I think there is an app called Roast? or something.... [02:39] justPatrick: its telling me i need boost/bind.hpp from the boost library [02:39] nevermind, just need to install the -dev of those packages [02:39] can GnomeBaker burn a bootable DVD? [02:40] Volt9000: growisofs should work [02:40] Volt9000, it probably can? Is it an iso? [02:40] GUYS I NEED HELP. Where is the recycle bin on Ubantu, I did a rm -fr /etc/ and I need to get those files back [02:40] last question for the day: is there any way i can just bind keys on my mouse easily, or do I have to create xmodmap/stuff and try/fail? [02:40] Volt9000: are you burning an iso or a dvd directory structure? [02:40] Ah yes I am running compiz apparently, I thought it was just Compiz fusion for fancy graphics etc. [02:40] I'm thinking of buying a laptop for about 600€ any recommendations? [02:40] Statix138: rm doesn't move things to any recycle bin [02:40] Statix138, there is no recycle bin for rm [02:40] !trash | Statix138 [02:40] Statix138: The location of Trash has changed since 8.04, it is now located in ~/.local/share/Trash | Looking for the trash in previous versions: ~/.Trash [02:40] Volt9000: nautilus has a burn disc if you right click on an iso [02:40] ah, awesome, thanks [02:40] Statix138, so you're out of luck [02:41] I thought Ubantu was advanced and there is no recycle bin? [02:41] tiku if you install ubuntu on a laptop monitor the load_cycle_count [02:41] to move gpg keys to another system , one needs just secring.gpg and pubring.gpg , right? [02:41] Statix138: Yes. That's the pinnacle of an OS's achievements. [02:41] I would say file recovery is pretty neato [02:41] Ubuntu plus laptop power management can cause HDDs to wear out quickly [02:41] and ubantu is missing it [02:41] Statix138: I thought humans were advanced...so why need a recycle bin? [02:41] Statix138, dude, you are the one who removed whole /etc with root privileges [02:41] Windows ME had it after all [02:42] I thought /etc/ had a virus in it [02:42] Statix138: right click -> Move to trash moves it to trash. The « gvfs-trash » command moves it to trash on the command line. « rm » does what it is supposed to: deletes things [02:42] Ahahahaha wait-- Statix138 wants rm to move to trash? [02:42] He should alias it that way then. :) [02:42] I was told all files in linux with a .conf was a virus so I found a bunch in /etc/ [02:42] KB1JWQ, it is possible [02:42] hi, how can i check which /dev/* is my sound card? [02:42] and I deleted all of /etc/ [02:42] Statix138: Where are you getting your advice from? [02:43] I'm thinking of buying a laptop for about 600€ any recommendations? [02:43] he's either troll or idiot [02:43] so chowder heads over at ubantu [02:43] Statix138: just backup, reinstall, and find a new source of advice... [02:43] don't feed anyway [02:43] how do I reinstall windows, so I don't mess up GRUB? [02:43] Statix138, virus? Unlikely [02:43] oh geez...you poor dude [02:43] Statix138: i hope you're kidding [02:43] Statix138: Engage brain before typing commands. [02:43] justPatrick: what do i do? [02:43] Or for things that are that obvious, try getting a second opinion first? [02:43] So who do I need to email for them to get my files out of the recycle bin for /etc/ but I only want the good files not the viruses [02:44] how do I reinstall windows, so I don't mess up GRUB? [02:44] I searched around and couldn't find much information about the Asus Xonar HDMI 1.3av, is there support for this in ubuntu? I'd really like to get LPCM out on my HTPC. [02:44] * jrib goes to bed... [02:44] my display settings don't work now that I installed the ATI drivers. [02:44] dAnon: I don't think you can avoid messing up Grub, so you'll have to boot a livecd and restore Grub to the MBR after you install Windows. [02:44] * KB1JWQ homes Statix138 is trolling [02:44] koolkat: Sorry, I'll be off in some minutes. [02:44] hopes [02:44] Doug___ if you plug in ubantu into your tv it wil give your tv a virus [02:44] it works up until i try to activatethe second monitor. [02:44] bankix: wait! [02:44] Statix138: you're using ubuntu one? i am not familar with it yet, you'll have to check out the website, i am sure there is a contact us [02:45] koolkat: After copying the default smb.conf to /etc/samba, please restart it with "sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart". [02:45] Statix138: if it is any consolation, I think you should get an award for the most entertaining problem of the week [02:45] how do I restore it nick125? [02:45] justPatrick: it tells me configure: error: You need boost/bind.hpp from the boost library to run Aleph One [02:45] th0r: +1 [02:45] koolkat: Then use system-config-samba to create a test share, readonly with access for everyone. [02:45] dAnon: Once you get into the livecd, sudo grub-install /dev/sdX should do it. [02:45] Someone told me .conf were viruses and would turn my computer into a bomb, is that true? [02:45] !ops Statix138 trolling, spreading misinformation [02:45] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [02:45] Does Rythmbox not have the ability to play music/videos from another machine? Anyone know? I am trying to play my music from my server, prefer Rythmbox, but only Audacious is playing them. [02:45] Gah, forgot this wasn't ##linux [02:45] Statix138: yes [02:45] Statix138: think about it, what do you think? [02:45] Goddammit [02:46] nick125 sdX is? [02:46] Burned the WD CD and it doesnt work [02:46] koolkat: When this one shows up under Places/Network, your samba config is fine. Then this share should be visible to the windows machines as well. [02:46] Volt9000: !BAD LANGAUGE [02:46] Ah, sorry [02:46] Im 93 years old the only thing I think about is can I make it to the bathroom on time [02:46] I just dont want no loonix bomb in my house [02:46] and /etc/ was full of them [02:46] The stupid autoexec.bat on the CD doesnt work >:\ [02:46] I have an issue with my display. [02:46] how is that bad language [02:46] Does anyone here have laptop power management suggestions? [02:46] dAnon: /dev/sda, /dev/sdb, or whichever is it. It should be /dev/sda... [02:46] Volt9000, hmm...oh well plan B, Ultimate Boot Disk, or Ubuntu LIve === Cueball is now known as Cueball_ [02:47] Volt9000: read post #6 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=367644 [02:47] Statix138: go back to windows, there's no .conf files so you won't have to worry about your house blowing up [02:47] Yeah I'm about to burn the liveCD [02:47] Statix138: Sure thing, step back some yards, your computer is about to explode... [02:47] nick125 how do I check it? [02:47] OMG UBANTU IS MADE BY TERRORIST [02:47] Volt9000, Ultimate Boot Disk has tons of testing tools, always nice to keep around [02:47] legend2440: I'll check thanks [02:47] bankix: i cant just copy that file, all it has are variables in there like x and y instead of actual values. i cant go through such a long file and replace every little letter. [02:47] dAnon: fdisk -l [02:47] Doug__: free? [02:47] Volt9000, yes [02:48] dAnon: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows [02:48] Awesome. [02:48] Volt9000, I think it's ultimatebootdisk.org or something. Not completely sure, google it [02:48] Does Rythmbox not have the ability to play music/videos from another machine? Anyone know? I am trying to play my music from my server, prefer Rythmbox, but only Audacious is playing them. [02:48] koolkat: What are you talking of? [02:48] koolkat: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/251129/ is a default smb.conf. [02:48] can anyone help me out? [02:48] koolkat: Where do you see variables there? [02:48] Doug__: alright, thanks [02:48] false: use NFS to access the remote videos, perhaps? [02:49] OMG smb.conf delete that, its a virus [02:49] I want to systematically learn to use the command line. There's lots of tutorials on the web, but I'd like to know if there's one you can actually run in the terminal itself. Anyone know of anything? [02:49] Statix138: goodbye samba [02:49] ian__ the best way to learn the command line is by doing [02:49] That's how I've been learning it [02:49] Statix138, stop trolling. [02:49] Samba is a name we used for color folk back in the 50's [02:49] ian__: the man pages can be displayed in the terminal [02:49] every time I need to do something, I figure out how to do it command line vs prrogram [02:50] Pici, tq [02:50] I never use synaptic anymore, for example [02:50] ian__: what Volt said. Also, learn the 'man' command, and 'man -k ' in particular [02:50] I just use apt-get [02:50] I was thinking of something like vimtutor [02:50] heh [02:50] do i need to reinstall? [02:50] how do i access an sdcard? [02:50] i need help. I'm new. [02:50] Ghoti: what does the -k option do to man? [02:50] is there a man page for man? [02:50] Ghoti: mplayer is playing the videos just fine, actually. It's just rthymbox not playing the music. "Could not open resource for reading." is the error I'm getting. [02:50] madLyfe: searches by keyword. see 'man man' ;) [02:50] I think Ubantu gave my other computer a virius, I just randomly got thrown out of this chat room! [02:50] mazda01_: type man man and find out [02:51] Pici, he's back >: [02:51] Alright. I've got a Logitech USB mic, a G35 headset. And for the life of me, I cannot consistently get it working. I had it working for about a minute, but then I realized that I had three ALSA volume control panels open and I closed all three, and then it stopped working. [02:51] hi i only got 1 line of result when i ran "ps aux | grep php" is that not good? [02:51] what do i need to do to get boost/bind.hpp? with the boost libary [02:51] th0r: HA, there's a man page for man. awesome [02:51] blognewb: not if you only have one process running that has "php" in it ;) [02:51] Zappo, boost-dev [02:51] Zappo: install the -dev packages for boost [02:52] esp if it's "grep php" i.e. the grep command itself [02:52] hello all [02:52] guys i think i just got the ubantu virus [02:52] Hi I seem to have dramatically slower mobile broadband when using ubuntu than I do windows.. is there any way I can remedy this? [02:52] is this like that conflicker [02:52] koolkat: Now, did you manage to copy the file? [02:52] mazda01: there is supposed to be a man page for every command [02:52] i guess i'm muted. [02:52] lol [02:52] !hi | Timitheos [02:52] Timitheos: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [02:52] ha ha... [02:53] Timitheos: we can see you [02:53] i need help. [02:53] kitche: ok thanks [02:53] !ask | Timitheos [02:53] Timitheos: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [02:53] Timitheos, just ask [02:53] bankix: yes i did [02:53] yes just ask [02:53] bankix: but its still not working [02:53] koolkat: Restarted samba? [02:53] bankix: yes [02:53] hi all, I'm having a few problems with ubuntu. My main problem is, for some reason, when I transfer files over my network, either to or from, they will transfer for a second or two, and pause for about 10 seconds, then start again. Over and over. Anyone know why? Or how to fix it? [02:53] I just downloaded a game and I'm not sure how to run it. the instructions I was given were to run "hon.sh" or "LANG=C ./hon.sh" any ideas [02:53] Daz: thanks [02:53] koolkat: And configured a new share? [02:53] bankix: yes [02:53] is anyone having really download speed when downloading packages from launchpad? [02:54] ji got that same thing happen too with the network copying [02:54] koolkat: Then please paste your new smb.conf to pastebin. [02:54] *really SLOW download speeds [02:54] Were you able to fix it, CopyWriter? [02:54] ZenMasta: go to the folder with hon.sh in and then do ./hon.sh in a terminal (in that folder) [02:54] ziroday: lemme try [02:55] ok. I'll ask again. I just installed Ubuntu yesterday. My dual monitor set up worked fine until I installed the ATI drivers. now it won't let me use dual monitors and when I try to set it up through the display settings it freezes. [02:55] wetwired2: are you using 100 baseT or gigabit network? [02:55] no i did a couple installes of 9.041 and only noticed it yesterday and today [02:55] i THINK it's a gigabit. [02:55] i mean 9.04 [02:55] ziroday: ./hon-x86: error while loading shared libraries: libk2-x86.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [02:55] wetwired2: have to tried to see what mode your ethercards are in ? [02:55] ZenMasta: try sudo ./hon.sh [02:55] might a usb sound card work with ubuntu? [02:56] What mode? No, I didn't know there were different modes. Please explain [02:56] ziroday: same thing [02:56] Timitheos: I wish I could help you, but I've not dealt with ATI/AMD cards in Linuxland before. [02:56] koolkat: We need the pastebin url to see your config. [02:57] ZenMasta: I would go back and ask the authors. What game? [02:57] Timitheos: are you using the the ati catalyst control center ? [02:57] yeah why? [02:57] ziroday: heroes of newerth... does it matter if I'm in x when I type that? [02:57] wetwired2: full duplex and what not [02:57] have anyone tried to virtualize Mac OS X in ubuntu? [02:57] wat [02:57] is that a problem? [02:57] why am I using 8.04? [02:57] How do I check? [02:57] wetwired2: ifconfig should show you [02:57] ZenMasta: it sounds like you're missing a needed library [02:57] ZenMasta: hmm gimme a sec [02:58] Timitheos: no i thought maybe you were using ubuntus display setting app [02:58] Ok, I'm looking at the output, but I'm not sure what I'm looking at. [02:58] wetwired2: i am wrong, i am looking for the command now [02:58] I don't see full duplex listed anywhere. [02:58] with the Control center it recognizes both displays but won't seperate them. [02:59] wetwired2: dmesg | grep -i duplex [02:59] Timitheos: which ati card you have? [02:59] Hi, my usb hard drive gets unmounted and remounted when I don't use it for a while, and then when I try a command I get "ls: reading directory .: Input/output error". Can anyone help? [02:59] [ 28.039082] sky2 eth0: Link is up at 100 Mbps, full duplex, flow control both [02:59] ZenMasta: the lib file should be in the same folder as the hon.sh, is it? [02:59] Radeon HD 4650 [02:59] that look good? [02:59] gabrielp: i was wondering i virtualbox would install such mac os x, what about orignal mac os 9.? [02:59] malek: is your usb drive connected to a usb 2.0 port or the old standard [02:59] Ghoti: you mean like something on my system or something that should have been included with the game? [03:00] Sorry, people, I have to hand over koolkat to somebody else. He has now a default smb.conf installed and configured one readonly share public accessible via system-config-samba. [03:00] Timitheos: did you install the ati drivers from system>admin>hardware drivers? [03:00] does anyone knows if launchpad has mirrors from where i can download ppa's packages? [03:00] ZenMasta: I don't see any Ubunti 'libk2' package, so I'd imagine it's something the game should have included. [03:00] I'm leaving now. [03:00] ummm.. no, it popped up that the drivers weren't activated. [03:00] so i activated them. [03:00] koolkat: Sorry. Timeout ;-) [03:00] mazda01_: hmm, not sure. I think it's newer - I get this from lspci: 00:1d.0 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) USB UHCI #1 (rev 03) [03:01] Timitheos: how did you install them? === mac9416 is now known as infocop411 === infocop411 is now known as mac9416 [03:01] mazda01_: sorry, missed a line which says USB2 [03:01] It says it's in full duplex mode, and the link is up at 100 Mbps [03:01] mazda01_: 00:1d.7 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) USB2 EHCI Controller (rev 03) [03:01] arand:/Ghoti: there is a lib in the same dir as hon.sh libk2-x86_64.so and libk2-86.so [03:01] wetwired2: what about teh machine you're transferring files to? are they both linux? [03:02] No, one of them is windows xp. [03:02] ZenMasta: try the other command you mentioned? LANG=C ./hon.sh ? [03:02] malek: i would say that ist's usb 2.0. does /var/log/kern.log or syslog, or dmesg show anythink about the usb activity? [03:02] can anyone tell me why my system doesnt appear in samba? [03:02] when it ran the update after install it popped up that the drivers weren't activated. I activated them and it downloaded and installed the drivers. It told me to restart, and after i did it stopped working right.

[03:04] !latest | drakonik [03:04] drakonik: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are: fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports. [03:04] drakonik: 9.04 stable, 9.10 development [03:04] Aha [03:04] heh [03:04] mazda01_: what do you mean what system? [03:04] So I do have a problem [03:04] I'm at 8.04 [03:04] mazda01_: yeah, there's a whole bunch of stuff about it. Want me to post it somewhere? [03:04] goodnight [03:04] !backports [03:04] If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they may go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging [03:04] it's both ways, and let me check the smb.conf [03:04] And my apt-get is telling me I have no uggrades [03:05] koolkat: your comment was, "can anyone tell me why my system doesnt appear in samba?" so i am asking what system? [03:05] drakonik: Not a problem, that's the long term support release, still valid for 2 (3?) years with updates [03:05] Hello. Is there a channel I can join for custom kernel builds, or is this the place? :) [03:05] mazda01_: my computer? [03:05] Yes, but I'm trying to do something, and it'd be nice if I had the latest versions of say...USB microphone drivers [03:05] drakonik: ahve you tries sudo do-release-upgrade ? [03:05] Hello, can someone point me to a link that tells how can I upgrade my UNR to karmic_ [03:05] hm [03:06] I dind't know about taht one [03:06] (I mean help in custom kernel builds). [03:06] !karmic | djdarkman [03:06] djdarkman: Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 2009 - Karmic WILL break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [03:06] Hm [03:06] malek: no, just read it and see if it says anything that sticks out as being errorish (if that's a word) i can't help, it sounds like it may be a hardware issue as my jaunty install has no issues with usb, and I even use usb 1.1 [03:06] No. No release found. [03:06] koolkat: i am talking about the OS, windows or linux> [03:06] is it normal when I start wpa_supplicant manually that it does never end? I get five times CTRL-EVENT-SCAN-RESULTS, then Trying to assiciate with my router, WPA: Key negitiation completetd (4 times) and then CTRL-EVENT-DISCONNECTED 6 times. Is that normal? [03:06] okay, well thanks guys. guess I gotta troll the hon forums to see whats up. already tried skimming and searching for that erro but no luck yet [03:06] mazda01_: linux [03:06] how can i find which file has largest size in pwd and its children? [03:06] Anyway. I"m trying to figure out what to update so my fucking Logitech headset will work. I've tweaked the alsamixer config and no matter how many times I unmute the mic (it constantly mutes itself at unpredicatable intervals), it will not record [03:07] drakonik: If you do want to get to 9.04 you'd have to upgrade in steps >8.10>9.04, you can do that bu running "update-manager -d" in a terminal and then using update manager. [03:07] koolkat: what's not working about your samba? [03:07] mazda01_: yeah, there's heaps of error messages. [03:07] koolkat: are there any firewalls on any machines? [03:07] drakonik: please no swearing in the channel. [03:07] somebody knows where can i find help to convert my kubuntu into ubuntu-lite? i think i need that cause my laptop dont support kubuntu 9,04 [03:07] mazda01_: Not sure which are the most relevant ones though... [03:07] mazda01_: my system doesnt appear under networks [03:07] aha [03:07] there we go [03:07] malek: can't help then, i am guessing its a hardware issue. maybe post them at pastebin.com [03:08] mazda01_: there are no firewalls [03:08] arand: That's right, let's keep our code open source, not our moth. :) [03:08] nacho_: apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop [03:08] Hopefully the upgrades will fix this. [03:08] koolkat: within windows networks or what. i can't help if you;re not being specific. [03:08] the only part of that I have in my smb.conf is # socket options = TCP_NODELAY [03:08] hello what is the command to check if there is fastcgi installed? [03:08] wetwired2: add the rest, can't hurt anything. [03:08] ok. [03:08] mazda01_: I'm fairly sure it isn't, because it only started when I switched from kde to gnome, unless it's a coincindence. I'll paste it up. Hang on a tic... [03:08] on the same line? And uncomment it? [03:08] Ghoti: then i install ubuntu-lite? and thats all? [03:09] blognewb: if it's the name of a package, dpkg-query -l | grep ii | grep fastcgi [03:09] wetwired2: have you looked at the speed transfer in a iftop or similar program? [03:09] Hello again, linux [03:09] nacho_: you might want to do an apt-get autoremove afterwards, but that should do the trick [03:09] Ghoti: can it do a substring? [03:09] hello all, im having trouble partitioning a sandisk cruzer micro after removing the U3 software froma windows machine [03:09] blognewb: how do you mean? [03:09] Ghoti: ty [03:09] mazda01_: it doesnt appear under Networks in File Browser under the Places menu of Ubuntu [03:09] nacho_: my pleasure [03:10] Ghoti: substring search of filename/package name [03:10] No, I haven't. The speed isn't really the problem I don't think. It says it's transfering pretty fast, it just pauses all the time and thus takes forever to get anything done [03:10] Hello, all...I'm having trouble with building a custom kernel for restricted modules. I'm following the directions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CustomRestrictedModules. When I get to the section "Compiling linux-restricted-modules" and execute that apt-get build-dep line, I don't have permission to execute the command. Any ideas? Thanks. [03:10] has anyone tried the newest drivers from ATI ... are they any better at openGL [03:11] blognewb: in the example I have you, 'fastcgi' could be and substring you care to search for. [03:11] donavan_: How new are you talking? [03:11] koolkat: oh, i dont even bother with nautius places as it hasn't worked for me ever, dating back to breezy. to see your network, go to nautilus and enter this: smb://ipaddressofmachinehere and then hit enter, it should pop up a prompt for a username and password. if you want to just see the shares that your box is sharing, enter testparm [03:11] koog: try sudo apt-get build-dep ? [03:11] donavan_: hardy or jaunty??? [03:12] well im using whatever the ubuntu repository has 8.something and the newest on ati's site is 9.7 [03:12] donavan_: It works fine for me, except switching users always gives me a kernel panic. [03:12] running 9.04 64bit [03:12] mazda01_: ok, I've pasted kern.log here: http://pastebin.com/d50640e2d [03:12] mazda01_: enter testparm where [03:12] Ghoti: Tried that but for some reason, it installs a server header package. I'm running generic. [03:12] Alright, it's added. I'll give that a shot. That problem isn't near as big of a headache as my main problem. For some reason, my CPU useage jumps to 100% when I'm not really doing much, and it'll stay there for some time, and mostly lock things up. Like right now, I'm on irssi in this chat, and installing updates, and if I open any program, it jumps to 100% and hangs there for a good 30 seconds, gives me a 10 second break, [03:12] koog... Im the only use so that shouldnt be an issue [03:12] anyone vry familiar w netcat? [03:13] Lexmark X63 Problem: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1236711 [03:13] koog: did you install vmware of other virtualization software? IIRC, that moves you to a server kernel [03:13] I got a werid one here, I have a box i just built (ubuntu 8.04 server on an MBX box) it will connect to the network if i allow it to use dhcp. But if i manually assign it an ip address (via the interfaces file) it refuses to connect. [03:13] Ghoti: Hope. [03:13] *Nope.* [03:13] koog... any advice on how to do the upgrade ... any issues you ran into? [03:13] on my notebook with ati X1400, in hardy 8.04, no 1440x900, but max res works ok and look great to me... on Jaunty, 1440x900 shows up there and other stuff like transparent windows works out of the box open source driver. [03:13] is there some sort of udev cache i need to clear or something? [03:13] malek: is your usb drive an etx3 filesystem? unmount it and run fsck on it as the filesystem is screwed up [03:14] koolkat: on a terminal [03:14] koog Upgrade from 8.10? I did a fresh install on that one. Switched distros. :) [03:14] mazda01_: Could not display "smb://192.168.1.3/documents/". [03:14] in other words, unless you want transparent windows and other visual effect in 8.04, you don't need ati's driver [03:15] Good evening [03:15] mazda01_: yeah, it's a 750GB drive formatted as ext3. I'll run fsck and see if that helps. Thanks for that! [03:15] unless you need 1440x900 [03:15] hello. Someone has done any work with vlan under ubuntu? i have seen some problems where linux tags and receives the vlans properly, but it dont show the vlan tag anywhere [03:15] Thanks everyone, it's working! [03:15] A special thanks to the person who sent me the link to that thread on the forums [03:16] donavan: 9.04 then no advantage to use ati's driver with my x1400 of course. [03:16] Volt9000: did it start after the offline (livecd) fsck? [03:16] any ideas on that problem, mazda01?

[03:17] Volt9000: I've had that saving me a couple of times ;) [03:17] koolkat: enter smbtree in the terminal and see if documents is the exact sharename. also, what security is in your smb.conf file. user or share? [03:17] Alright I'm out, peace! [03:18] autotec... yeah I havnt been real thrilled with 9.04 myself but I really dont wannt reinstall again if I dont have to [03:18] koolkat: if it's user, then you need to add your users name to smb passwd file and use the same password as your sudo password. that's what I do. issue sudo smbpasswd -a username [03:18] donavan: don't know, but the wiki site linked from ati driver download site has specific instructions. i tried installing ati driver from apt but it didn't work. === Hyperion2010 is now known as Hyperion2010|awa === Hyperion2010|awa is now known as Hyperion2010|out [03:19] Hi, having an issue with flashplayer, since about 4 days ago, a website I was using doesn't work anymore, when I start the application, it's a photo editing online tool, I get a big blue box...the main page works, but nothing else, I've got Gnash, and adobe installed, but can't figure it out...any thoughts?

[03:20] ok [03:20] mazda01_: my computer isnt even listed under smbtree to begin with [03:20] autotec ... yeah I had horrible issues with apt and the ati drivers ... thus the last install... but I figured it was just because of several hardware changes and upgrades form 8.04 to 8.10 to 9.04 [03:20] koolkat: it sounds like you have a bad master browser [03:20] hello. Someone has done any work with vlan under ubuntu? i have seen some problems where linux tags and receives the vlans properly, but it dont show the vlan tag anywhere [03:21] im trying to install a different version of pcmanfm but when I ran the configure it said it installed the binary in /usr/local/bin but when i type in /usr/local/bin/pcmanfm, it's not even there? the one from synaptic doesn't suppost ssh and ftp so I am trying to get the experimental version of pcmanfm instralled. i can't uninstall the pcmanfm from synaptic because then it wants to uninstall lxde but obviously I need lxde as it's myh de [03:21] musikgoat: i can see another computer fine from here [03:21] donavan_: that ati site has instruction which creates a .deb for the ati drivers, I went that way once in 8.04 and it worked ok. [03:21] koolkat: are you even using samba? did you sudo aptitude install samba and then configure what shares you want to share? you need to follow a guide for sharing folders via samba [03:21] right, but not yourself, which means the master browser in your worgroup has not added you to the list [03:21] wetwired2: do you have an ATI graphics card?

[03:23] musikgoat: then is there any alternative way to do this, other than /etc/hosts?

Im just going with "sh ./drive.run" [03:24] i could do a gpg --export KEY -ao public.key to create exportable keys or i could simply copy secring.gpg and pubring.gpg (from the gpg config directory) if i want to backup keys or anything like that, right?

[03:26] ghostlines: not the rtorrent shipped with ubuntu [03:26] if I want to install a binary package over a synaptic installed program, would I need to run the ./configure and tell it to install the binary in /usr/bin/ so that it overwrites the old pcmanfm binary? [03:27] autotec besides having a .deb file and the easy install? [03:27] mazda01: i believe it usually overwrites by default since most programs share the same destination directory [03:27] not really, but the install prog is not easy [03:27] is it possible to share my wifi connection over ethernet by connecting to a router and bridging? [03:27] musikgoat... according to ati's howto I am supposed to use the ./ so thats why I put it there [03:28] bridge: it is using iptables, but i have always succeeded in doing that in windows, anyone else here know how in linux?

[03:33] ubuntu tip 2: if LTS is working and no problems, no need to upgrade and create problems. [03:34] like i cant believe it [03:34] stlsaint: use visudoers, the sudoers file has examples to follow. [03:34] stlsaint: you have to have root privileges, eg another account that has those privileges [03:34] also how do i linux [03:34] g-loc: you have to learn how to count first [03:34] g-loc: 'linux' is a noun, not a verb. [03:35] autotec: forget LTS, it's bleeding edge or no edge at all. ha ha ha [03:35] so i have to create another account to add my main account? [03:35] how to connect to wireless using command line in terminal? [03:35] i cant numbers [03:35] How is a external dial up modem set up with Gnome ppp [03:35] what command will i use to add my main account after i create my other account [03:35] stlsaint: your 'main' account should already have sudo privileges. [03:35] Qu4R0w: man iwconfig [03:35] mazda01_: screw that, if i want bleeding edge i would use fedora :( [03:35] stlsaint: you can try adding your account to the admin group [03:35] musikgoat...how? [03:35] autotec: not Gentoo? ;) [03:35] linux: nice ^^ [03:35] well I upgraded to the new ATI drivers it killed my X session and locked my computer but a hard reset fixed that ... now I am up and running with the new drivers and they are working beautifully no more flashing 3d grpahics [03:36] mazda01_: you like fedora if you like upgrade every 6 months and start all over again. [03:36] stlsaint: system -> admin -> users and groups [03:36] Qu4R0w: first stop network manager ("sudo service NetworkManager stop") then "sudo iwconfig essid 'linksys'" replacing linksys with your AP and with whatever "iwconfig" says is your wireless interface [03:36] stlsaint: do you see admin when you run 'groups' at a terminal? [03:36] linux: when I ran that command it said it would install teh binary in /usr/bin/bin so i am re-running teh command with just --prefix=/usr [03:36] stlsaint: then unlock [03:36] Ghoti: Gentoo!! hey, i don't have 2 days to install this thing;) [03:36] mazda01: ok, if you have troubles, re-extract the tar and try it [03:36] Qu4R0w: if you need wep, iwconfig's manpage will explain. if you need wpa, i can explain that one [03:36] autotec: no, i like ubuntu which releases a new version every 6 moths [03:36] autotec: it installs a lot faster these days ;) [03:36] maco: tq..really tq [03:36] Hi. I'm having trouble mounting a filesystem to /dev/loop0 using losetup. Trying to follow instructions at http://tinyurl.com/my25eh . However, I get "/dev/loop0 does not exist". Do I have to create it first?? If so, what do I make it, a blank text file? [03:36] moths=months [03:36] Ghoti: http://pastebin.com/d6d621851 [03:36] groups in termainal gives me... stlsaint vboxusers [03:36] ok [03:37] How do I set up my internet connection with the external modem and gnome ppp [03:37] all speaking in english ? [03:37] hai, so desu yo [03:37] Ghoti: last time i try gentoo, half me stuff don't work at all and i hate compile modules and kernel. [03:37] stlsaint: after you unlock (and enter your password), you should select your account, and click properties [03:37] zmdwjx1981: english is good [03:37] ToStIt0s: is it a parallel, serial, bluetooth, or usb external modem? [03:37] linux: both. whent started from the terminal, give multiple [03:37] linux: serial [03:38] users and groups says i dont have permission to access [03:38] foobarbecue: it probably needs to be a dir. so it would sudo mkdir [03:38] linux: Could not stat device /dev/sdb - No such file or directory. errors [03:38] stlsaint: hmm, then you are in trouble [03:38] Ghoti: hey like a browser war, latest greatest chromium or whatever, but why bother when firefox simply works great. [03:38] Ghoti: As you and everyone else can see, I would like to add a degree C at the end of the line (http://pastebin.com/d6d621851) [03:38] does my pc automatically detect it when I power the modem up [03:38] gartra: you mounted it? [03:38] TostIt0s: sorry, i only have experience with bluetooth modems [03:38] PSiL0: try the command I added to the bottom: http://pastebin.com/m565f7b51 === shamm is now known as LinuxGold [03:38] ah ok [03:38] lol...that sucks [03:39] np linux [03:39] any advice? [03:39] linux: yes, but it mysteriously unmounts itself before the write [03:39] mazda01_: my english is poor [03:39] mazda01_: that's what I tried at first, but then I got "/dev/loop0: Is a directory" [03:39] Ubuntu tip 3: if ain't broke, then don't break it :) [03:39] autotec: because I like trying new and different things? :) [03:39] ToSIt0s: just guessing though it doesn't, if it does, its through HAL [03:39] Ghoti: That's it! THanks a million man! [03:39] mazda01_: which makes me think it's not supposed to be... [03:39] stlsaint: do you know the root password? you can try to "su -" [03:39] foobarbecue: that means that the directory is already there [03:39] autotec: though you'd need to to a lot of convincing to get me to try an RPM-based distro again ;) [03:39] stlsaint: but unless you changed it, that would be locked up [03:39] su with what cmd [03:39] PSiL0: no problem! That'll be €8 please. [03:39] stlsaint: just su and dash [03:39] gartral: one of those two programs usually works for me, i have never had both of them fail unless the HD was bad [03:40] Ghoti: lol [03:40] I might just have to wait and play with it when I get it [03:40] stlsaint: you're going to have to boot up a recover session and it'll boot you into root. [03:40] Ghoti: not me, i drive a 93 dakota (rescued it out of junk yard). [03:40] mazda01_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/251144/ [03:40] stlsaint: then it'll let you add your username to the sudoers file [03:40] autotec: kudos for the ultimate recycling program :) [03:40] linux: the hardrive reads, and has files on it, but i cant read the fires, or add more [03:40] what cmd do i use to add myself to sudoers file? [03:40] Can anyone tell me a good site for projects in ubuntu like howtoforge.com? [03:40] stlsaint: visudoers [03:41] gartral: i take its fat16 or fat32? === Nightw0lf is now known as Nightwolf [03:41] Ghoti: fedora not that bad, if you don't mind a lot of updates and dist upgrade, boy they move way too fast. [03:41] linux: fat32 [03:41] mazda01_: that's what I get if I create the directory. No loop created, whether I start with a directory or start with nothing. [03:41] foobarbecue: why in the world are you trying to use a swap file over nfs? [03:41] stlsaint: in your situation, you would need to follow mazda01_'s advice [03:41] Hi [03:41] autotec: Meh. I've been caught in RPM hell too many times. I hvae heard good things though, TBH [03:41] mazda01_: because I only have 16mb on my embedded device and that's not enough to run apt-get [03:41] !hi | Quatroking [03:41] Quatroking: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [03:41] mazda01_: and cross-compiling is a pain [03:42] gartral: maybe its the first version of fat32 (not the modern one), i know i had one HD that none of the software in linux would repair, have you tried repairing it with fat repairing software for linux? [03:42] gartral: perhaps the filesystem is mounted read-only? [03:42] autotec: really? like more than every 6 months? [03:42] autotec: i don't think so [03:42] foobarbecue: ah, sorry. i see. so do you have the nfs shared out like the directions to the link you pasted. i have never done this so I am only trying to help from what I read [03:42] I jsut installed 9.0.4 after abandoning Ubuntu for far too long, and I noticed that the front audio-out isn't working [03:42] what was that distro i tired long ago, turbo linux 4 i think, look good then they went gnome and started looking like everybody else. but v 4 was awesome. [03:42] Just* [03:42] alright guys i will try and if no go than ill be back shortly ....thanks musik and mazda [03:42] Ghoti: ask him to check the stab or the file that sets the mounts upon boot [03:42] stlsaint: np [03:42] linux: Ghoti no, i formatted it originally on a win xp pro sp2 machine, and about it being read only.. i doubt it [03:42] Now, I have no idea how to fix this. Anyone? [03:42] stlsaint: gl [03:43] who is china? [03:43] gartral: could you pastebin the output of 'mount' please? [03:43] mazda01_: that's alright, thanks for your help. you indirectly led me to solve my tftp problem earlier, by the way [03:43] what is libcuda? [03:43] Ghoti: ok, but im telling you, this drive isnt showing up [03:44] ectl (rw) [03:44] LinuxGold: i would assume its the libraries for the cuda GPU language [03:44] ok [03:44] Ghoti: http://gar.pastebin.com/f7941d17 [03:44] Nobody? [03:44] !anyone | Quatroking [03:44] Quatroking: 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? [03:44] Quatroking: repeat please? [03:45] ok, looks like nvidia didn't include cuda GPU language for 185.* [03:45] my front audio ports don't work [03:45] foobarbecue: oh, cool. so what are you going to do about the nfs share as swap? [03:45] and I have no idea to get them to work. [03:45] -> Unable to access backed up file '/usr/lib/libcuda.so.173.14.16' [03:45] and error runs on... [03:45] gartral: okay, how about this: sudo fdisk -l [03:45] gartral: does the drive show up in that output? [03:46] Ghoti: Progeny Linux was great distro, went bust though. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progeny_Linux_Systems [03:46] Quatroking: do you know that the front audio works in other OS's? e.g. that the wires are connected to the mobo? [03:46] brb -- booting using standard SVGA drivers [03:46] Quatroking: ubuntu now uses pulseaudio server, have you checked gnome alsa mixer to ensure that your volumes are all turned up> [03:46] They work fine in Win7 and Vista. [03:46] and all my volumes are turned on 100% [03:46] Ghoti: hi what was the command you gave me again sorry substring search of filename/package name [03:47] blognewb: dpkg-query -l | grep ii | grep string [03:47] Ghoti: thank you so much [03:47] blognewb: my pleasure! That'll be ¥80 please. ;) [03:48] ? i got Stani's Python Editor install, looks great. Is this what real developers use? [03:49] Ghoti: i give cheap blowjobs [03:49] k [03:49] blognewb: Sorry, that position has been filled. Also, let's keep this channel G-rated, shall we? :) [03:49] hi how do i stop like the automatic updates? [03:49] Gee thanks [03:50] cosmic_karma: it shouldn't be doing any automatic updates without your blessing. [03:50] lol, Ghoti, that made the room go silent [03:50] unless i'm just lagging [03:50] musikgoat: I'm a discourcidal maniac :) [03:50] oh, and i was [03:50] the update manager keeps nagging me popping up rrandomly [03:50] :'( [03:51] any way to disable from gui or terminal code to copy? [03:51] jtaji are you still here got a question [03:51] Ghoti: no, it does not, untill i reinsert it === marvinp is now known as killring [03:51] im using ubuntu904 and after installing an update this morning i now have no browser avaliable. cd someone help pls [03:51] cosmic_karma: you can stop it in gconf-ediot [03:51] cosmic_karma: system -> administration -> Software Sources -> Updates tab. Uncheck 'em all. === killring is now known as marvinp [03:51] *gconf-editor [03:52] Ghoti: that wouldn't be good [03:52] can someone explain to me how to download a .tar.gz file? [03:52] thanks [03:52] Ghoti: that bad idea, no security updates? [03:52] Updated 21:51, Lexmark X63 Problem: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1236711 any other suggestions? [03:52] that was the one i was gonna do [03:52] musikgoat: cosmic_karma wants to not get any more update notifications. On its head be it. [03:52] Ghoti: cosmic_karma is referring to the auto pop up [03:52] auto pop up is annoying [03:52] smeltser: download it like any other file [03:52] cosmic_karma: wish it out into the corn field... [03:52] cosmic_karma: Apps->Update Notifier. On the right, unchecked the auto_launch box. [03:52] lmao [03:53] Ghoti: ok, now that i reinserted it, it *does* come up an *i* flagged as rw [03:53] cosmic_karma: musikgoat: autotec: As always in Linuxland, there's more than one way to skin a cat :) [03:53] gartral: now that it's rw, can you write to the drive? [03:54] yea im a noob but i love ubuntu [03:54] Ghoti: no.. it "dissappears" again [03:54] anhd i love how everyone helps [03:54] tahnks [03:54] thanks [03:54] gartral: Drat. [03:54] Ghoti: i agree, although the analogy would be, my directions skin a cat, your directions boil the cat, which gets the fur off as well [03:54] Ghoti: it was always rw... but it does this same thing on linux mac and windows [03:54] Ghoti: :P [03:54] smeltser: take the URL from Firefox and right click, save as (or copy the URL and in terminal wget ); to extract tar -xvf *.tar.gz [03:54] since there no linux virus, if didn't have to work tomorrow i would stay up all night and create one. wife say it's bed time, later dudes... [03:54] musikgoat: in the end, the cat is still dead ;) [03:55] Hi, when I run Nexuiz and start a match, at the end of loading, my system "breaks". I can't do anything. If i try to switch ttys nothing on screen happens, ctrl-atl-delete does nothing useful, and the only way I can fix it is by restarting with the power button (hodling it) or SysRq keys. [03:55] good night [03:55] i know this question might be really generic, but for some reason, out of the blue, urbanterror has become unplayable, in terms of being really slow. has anyone seen this kind of thing happen? [03:55] i chk slashdot tomorrow to see if any of these idiots create a linux virus. [03:55] Ashfire908: try Alt+Ctrl+Backspace? [03:56] linux, that's disabled in 9.04 [03:56] neoTheCat: hard to say.. Try running htop (or just top) in the background, and see if it's CPU-related perhaps? [03:56] Ashfire908: sounds like theres a problem with your Nexuiz, are you running the 2.5.1 or ubuntu repos client? [03:56] Hi, having an issue with flashplayer, since about 4 days ago, a website I was using doesn't work anymore, when I start the application, it's a photo editing online tool, I get a big blue box...the main page works, but nothing else, I've got Gnash, and adobe installed, but can't figure it out...any thoughts? [03:56] absolutely [03:56] opps, there is a linux virus wicd sure enough updated itself and now don't work. [03:56] Ashfire908: darn, all the good things taken away in 9.04 [03:56] !dontzap | Ashfire908 [03:56] Ashfire908: To re-enable the Ctrl+Alt+Backspace combination that restarts your X server, you can install the "dontzap" package and use the command « sudo dontzap --disable ». The combination Alt+SysRq+K can also be used to obtain a similar effect. [03:56] neoTheCat: does top show any process taking a lot of cpu? what does free -m show? did ou upgrade lately? it could have changed graphics drivers on you. many possibiliteis [03:56] ;) [03:56] gartral, no, nexuiz is a trigger. It's something with my graphics. [03:57] Ashfire908: are you on an Nvidia card? [03:57] How can I use iptables in such a way that any request to http://randomtext.com/ goes to 127.0.0.1:8089 (I would use /etc/hosts, but it does not support routing to a port). [03:57] linux, ctrl + alt + backspace is really easy to enable again [03:57] gartral, no, intel... [03:57] Ashfire908: AHHH.. intel imbedded graphics.. wonderful.. [03:58] jedc: by default hitting ctrl+alt+backspace three times quickly should enable it, nothing harder [03:58] Ghoti: /dev/sdb1 on /media/BETHDRIVE type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=hal,shortname=mixed,uid=1000,utf8,umask=077,flush) that line disturbs me for some reason [03:58] Ashfire908: i have had my trials with intel [03:58] : you can use /etc/hosts, but point to 127.0.0.2, then forward port 80 to 127.0.01:8089 [03:58] ez, so how do i avoid that ubuntu installs some testing version of firefox (shiretoko, minefield) just because i aptitude upgrade? [03:58] linux: add that to the ubuntu brainstorm [03:58] gartral: that looks normal to me [03:59] musikgoat: adding [03:59] (I, for one, can't understand why they disabled C-A-BkSp to bekin with) [03:59] do any of you have experience using samba to share files from a computer running ubuntu? [03:59] hey is it ok to reinstall the same version of PHP even if i have already one in the box? I'll do it to integrate FCGI/FPM.... hello? [03:59] Ghoti: ok, anything else you can think of? [03:59] gartral: sorry, not off the top of my head :( [03:59] bassliner: umm, you uninstall the beta software? [03:59] mazda01_: it looks like urbanterror is taking 100% for some reason. i am going try downgrading to nvidia driver 173, instead of 180 [04:00] ghostdog: I have a working SMB share; what can we help you with? [04:00] bassliner: aptitude upgrade will upgrade what you have installed [04:00] linux: what would you use to repair the partition table? [04:00] gartral: fsck? [04:00] LiNeTuX: thanks! that would work. [04:00] gartral, I also had this issue with Gentoo. [04:00] anyone know of a good electronics layouting program like ORCAD but for linux? [04:00] Ghoti: i tried creating a share on my linux computer using the file browser. it shows up on my other computers, but i cannot actually log into it [04:00] : /etc/init.d can be your friend there as well [04:00] Ghoti: fsck hangs [04:00] gartral: "parted" perhaps. [04:00] Ghoti: i'm using the right username and password but it just doesn't work [04:01] i know there's a free version of eagle but it just sucks to use something that's been limited [04:01] gartral, one of the reasons I'm using ubuntu (switched back) is this issue, which appeared after an update in gentoo occured. [04:01] hay can anyone tell me how to get android working on virtualbox on ubuntu? [04:01] I can't seem to browse the /var/www/ using the default apache2 install from my DynDNS name [04:01] Can someone help me? [04:01] Ashfire908: the intel drivers in Linux.. (that's Gentoo, redhat, fedora, debian, ubuntu...) is confirmed borked, and intel has said basically little more than "Meh, more reason to use windows" [04:01] LiNeTuX: how would i go about forwarding from 127.0.0.2 to 127.0.0.1:8089 (I am totally new to iptables) [04:02] how do i get /list to show chans by size, its been so long since i was a regular irc user? [04:02] gartral, any solution? [04:02] jcapinc: what problems are you having? it pretty much worked out of the box for me? [04:02] never used xchat, used to use excursion back in the day [04:02] : I'd just use a port forward w/init.d. ... um, I'll start a sidebar w/you and explain [04:02] gartral, besides getting a new card or coding a better driver [04:02] Ashfire908: downgrade to 8.10 or an LTS release [04:03] ghostdog: Hand a sec, I'll have some things for you to try momentarily [04:03] ok [04:03] gartral, uh... can I just downgrade the driver? [04:03] I'm not sure what else to do. ufw has port 80 open but I still can't see the index.html in the /var/www/ [04:03] hi there [04:03] you'r ea god [04:03] Guiri: can you see localhost from teh webserver? [04:03] Ashfire908: not without recompileing the kernal, its hardcoded into the kernal structure [04:03] nevermind xchat is pretty sweet [04:03] Anyone in the room using conky-colors? I can not get weather working [04:03] neoTheCat, I downloaded a .vdi.bz2 and extracted it, started running it and I get GRUB loading stage 2... forever [04:04] guyz is anybody have knowledge about clam sound library [04:04] musikgoat: Webserver is a friend's machine in another state that I'm helping him setup. But I'm SSHed in under the dyndns name [04:04] So I know it resolves [04:04] gartral, suppose I did that... (i haven't but I can, after all I used gentoo) [04:04] i could do a gpg --export KEY -ao public.key to create exportable keys or i could simply copy secring.gpg and pubring.gpg (from the gpg config directory) if i want to backup keys or anything like that, right? [04:04] Guiri: set up a local tunnel... ssh -L 80:localhost:80 account@yourfreind [04:05] Guiri: then you go to localhost on your machine [04:05] Ashfire908: well... you would have to find a patch and a copy of the previus driver's source... beyond that, im lost === kaie is now known as Guest43439 [04:06] jcapinc: which virtualbox version? i'll check my settings.... [04:06] musikgoat: Yes I can see localhost now in the browser. [04:06] Why can't I see it from the outside? Some setting I've forgotten? [04:06] Guiri: and you can see index? [04:06] Guiri: prolly lan router port forwarding [04:06] Yeah, I have the It Works! index.html [04:06] gartral, ok then. At least I have a direction to go in now. [04:06] It's in the DMZ. I can see each port with a portscan [04:06] Guiri: or dsl modem/router or something [04:06] Q: how to get paravirtualization option in Virtual Machine Manager to be available? [04:06] neoTheCat, standard ubuntu 8.10 repository version, 2.0.4_OSE [04:07] Ashfire908: also having recompiled your kernal means the Ubuntu community cant help you as fully [04:07] Guiri: some isp's block port 80 for private accounts. [04:07] musikgoat: Okay. I'll check i tout [04:07] Guiri: dmz's sometimes suck on home routers... but i would blame it on that, or the webserver doesn't have its route setup [04:07] Guiri: so its not sending traffic out [04:07] Guiri: but i would think he would know he cant get to the internet [04:08] jcapinc: i am runnning 3.0.4. maybe that has something to do with it... [04:08] can i set grub to launch vista directly without using it's builtin bcd? [04:08] how can i reset $PATH without loging out? [04:08] is there any way to use dpkg or apt locally? [04:08] th0r: ir right too... but stateside, thats less and less [04:08] gartral, harder to get help or a system that is prone to essentally crashing? [04:08] FOr some reason, whenever I boot Linux, I can't get sound until I kill pulseaudio. [04:08] neoTheCat, I would tend to agree with you, I believe many changes were made in the new version, including 3D support [04:08] musikgoat: Thanks much for the help. I'll check ou tthe router [04:08] And then start it up again. [04:09] Ashfire908: i had to recompile the kernal back in 8.10 so my sound cards wouldnt conflict [04:09] Hilikus: you can source your environment source /etc/environment [04:09] Hilikus: i don't know if it clears added ones though [04:09] musikgoat: perfect! [04:09] Guiri: yw [04:09] hey musikgoat im back but with a story of success [04:10] I am looking at backup options... how long will data stay intact on a hardrive that isn't used and sits? on a usb stick? [04:10] stlsaint: you got sudo? [04:10] i got sudo!!! [04:10] good [04:10] hanasaki, either is probably permenent, flash is more reliable [04:10] thanks...now im here to offer my services to those in need... [04:11] Heh. "Probably Permanent" "Jumbo Shrimp" [04:11] I hear CD/DVD is only about 5yrs?

[04:20] edbian: yes [04:20] lamebot: yea, i was not thinking timezone [04:20] lamebot: One of the OS's thinks your HW clock is UTC and the other thinks it's local time.

[04:22] lamebot, it's there. i can't really walk you through the gui right now but look around for it [04:22] lamebot: While I check look at "etc/timezone" and make sure it's right. [04:22] i know this is probably trivial but does anyone know if its possible to get alltray to respond to a command rather than having to click i'd like to just put a script at startup that will just start evolution and automatically have it set in the tray [04:23] lamebot: sudo tzconfig [04:23] when i access shared network folders they appear on the desktop, how can i make them appear in home instead?

[04:41] 能支持中文吗？ [04:41] kran: english please [04:41] Bookman: Most torrent clients support resuming, so you should just need to point it at the target directory [04:41] Bookman: you mean download torrents from cmd line?

I may not be able to and that is just fine, while I finish off the last two.

[04:45] yeah, transmission-cli [04:45] kran: This is the English channel; what is your preferred language? [04:45] Why is it that insserv changes many rc's the first time , does `Ubuntu` have a different opinion about the rcS then their own init-script ? [04:45] choppyhorse: Runs it in the background so you can keep using the terminal [04:45] thanks Ghoti [04:45] choppyhorse: '&' puts the preceding command into the background [04:45] choppyhorse: but if you log out, the backgrounded process will usually terminate [04:46] TO All...whats the best(in your opinion) irc client in ubuntu? [04:46] yeah, unless you put nohup in front of the command [04:46] ty again [04:46] stlsaint: I alternate between irssi and xchat [04:46] edbian: Yeah, I came across the transmission-cli in my research, but I never found out if it can "take over" downloading a current partial torrent [04:46] choppyhorse: my plesure [04:46] Bookman: Yeah I have no idea about that. I don't it. [04:46] exit [04:46] yea ive heard of the irssi...would you be able to elaborate on irssi a little more? [04:46] Bookman: Perhaps you could seed yourself?

[05:09] Drew3: then just look in the file /var/log/Xorg.0.log, and see if you see something useful.... [05:09] linux: thanks [05:09] when i open a network share it makes an icon on my desktop, how do i make the icon appear in home instead [05:10] Ghoti: becouse its no cd-rom. but interface is okey [05:10] oh wonderful, I go and pick a wireless device that's not even in any of the lists...... [05:10] Why is it that I can't add a shadow border effect with gnome-screenshot when I'm trying to take a region screenshot? [05:10] nanotube: no, still no luck. the background still isn't black [05:11] foundry87: you can, use gimp [05:11] nanotube: I'm thinking it is beyond the capability of openoffice.org [05:11] benjr: You can manually mount the network share. What kind of share is it? [05:11] bnijk, I realize that I can't but why is that? I don't want to have to open gimp to do something that should be able to be done automatically. [05:12] why would it do that automatically? [05:12] benjr: You could also create a soft (or hard if you want) link in /home to that file [05:12] nanotube: ctrl-alt-f7 still gives me a white screen, although this time the startup sound played first. after that going back to ctrl-alt-f2 (where i was typing to you before) is only a console again; i'm now typing to you from display :2 on ctrl-alt-f3 [05:12] chris_lenz123: take a look at FFMPEG: http://www.instructables.com/id/Convert-video-in-Linux/ [05:12] MeditatingFrog: ehrm, i just tried it, it worked for me. [05:12] the great motto of software development, foundry87, "keep it simple stupid," don't add superfluous features to a program that are best served elsewhere [05:12] bnijk: Because I want to add a shadow border to my screenshot automatically, I don't see what's wrong with that [05:12] MeditatingFrog: i went to "format -> page", set background to black there [05:13] most users of gnome-screenshot will not want a shadow border [05:13] MeditatingFrog: then exported to pdf, and the pdf shows with black bg. [05:13] with all those programs still running, can't i reconnect to that background'd x display somehow? i'm guessing this is surely a simple linux thing i haven't learned yet coming from windows? [05:13] bnijk: then why include the feature in the first place? [05:13] Drew3: this works for finding out my nvidia driver version. not sure about ati glxinfo | grep -i version [05:13] ? [05:13] linux: k [05:13] bnijk: the feature is already there, it's just that it doesn't work with region screenshots. Check for yourself. [05:13] oic [05:13] chris_lenz123: I tried mencode a long time ago, but you have to know the exact parameter to put after mencode [05:14] * ryan__ is rymo (d'oh) [05:14] well [05:14] http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/gnome-utils/trunk/gnome-screenshot/screenshot-shadow.c?view=log [05:14] there's the code [05:14] hello [05:14] fix it yourself ;) [05:14] bnijk: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:14] nanotube: I'll try printing to file. nanotube, there is an "export directly as pdf" isn't it possible to print to a file also as an alternative method to getting the file to pdf [05:14] linux: your losing me? [05:14] I am looking for a wiki software that includes backlinks [05:14] anybody know of any? [05:15] what program will open up .tif files? [05:15] chris_lenz123: those are two seperate programs, try ffmpeg first then mencoder if ffmpeg doesn't work (mencoder requires mencoder -tllksdj lots of parameters after) === ryan__ is now known as rymo_ [05:15] bnijk: I'm not a very good programmer [05:15] oldude67: any graphics program worth its salt [05:15] oldude67: .tif are just image files. [05:15] foundry87: any time is a good time to start, eh? [05:15] oldude67: any image viewer should. [05:15] MeditatingFrog: yes, there is. just check the box "print to file" in the print dialog. that will create a postscript (.ps) file, which you can then convert to pdf from commandline, using the "ps2pdf" program. [05:16] bnijk, edbian , prince_jammys ty [05:16] if I kill Xorg are all the programs still running? [05:16] bnijk: I know basic parts of some languages but I don't know what language this is in or where I'd edit the file. [05:16] any help on a lexmark x63 scanner would be welcome: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7766497 [05:16] nanotube: thank you nanotube [05:16] linux: ill try, but i am a noob to linux, just got it [05:16] like killing explorer in windows? [05:17] rymo_: if you kill Xorg that will kill some programs but not others [05:17] MeditatingFrog: hope that helps :) [05:17] it'll kill stuff that you started when you logged in [05:17] My computer has been randomly crashing. I'm sure there is a logfile, how can I monitor the computer and then read a logfile after I boot back up? [05:17] as well as anything that has to do with graphics in any way [05:17] Veinor: it will kill all the gui programs that you had running in that session.... [05:17] hi [05:17] chris_lenz123: try searching Applications -> Add/Remove and http://www.sourceforge.net for lists of programs [05:17] right [05:17] but it won't kill every process :P === root is now known as Guest74061 [05:18] so is it possible to bring gui programs over to another X display? [05:18] can anybody help about Emerald theme [05:18] stealth-: rtorrent works just fine. thanks. [05:18] linux: trying the terminal method [05:20] normally when a person clicks their user name at the top right and clicks on Guest Session, they're able to come back to all their programs, right? [05:20] so how do i come back to my programs when the Guest Session just hangs? [05:20] Is it possible to flash your bios from Linux? [05:20] rymo_: did you switch user or logout? [05:21] <_julio_> hi there everyone [05:21] linux: I clicked "Guest session" which I presume to be equal to switching users? [05:21] rymo_: an alternative: ctrl+alt+f2 then startx -- :5, then ctrl+alt+f5 [05:21] is there a startup log? [05:22] linux: i was able to use startx to start another display, that's what i'm in now; but i want to reconnect to my original session that still has all my programs running [05:22] how come i have 2 php.ini's? /etc/php5/cgi/php.ini /etc/php5/cli/php.ini [05:23] like the stuff that's displayed instead of usplash, is it recorded somewhere? [05:23] rymo_: i don't know about that one, but i am interested if anyone in here knows that answer [05:23] joining [05:23] is there no way to gently abort whatever has hung in this guest session to get it back to the login screen on that display where i assume i would be able to jump back in? [05:23] hey [05:23] blognewb: second one is probably for php's command line interface, first one for cgi. [05:23] blognewb: one is for CGI (as in webserver usage), the other is for CLI (as in use as a command line interpreter) === carlos_ is now known as Campusano [05:24] is ubuntu written in php? [05:24] linux: why the particular combo of +f2 :5 +f5? [05:25] i did +f2 :1 and later +f3 :2, is that bad? [05:25] rymo_: they give you new ttyl's (screens), i assumed that your screen there was empty [05:25] thiebaude: uh, no [05:25] thiebaude, are you kidding? [05:25] <_julio_> i have an issue, last night i installed wicd to give it a try as i've hear some kind words bout it only to stop when i realised that i couldn't use my 3g usb modem from there. since then i've removed wicd and tried to get back network manager (that somehow disapeared...) any words of hope? :P [05:25] rymo_: you can use as many of those screens as you want without hazard [05:26] if i had used startx -- :5 does that place it on the ctrl+alt+f5 screen? [05:26] what i typed brought up x in-place [05:26] Does Ubuntu has a crash log? [05:26] when i open a network share it makes an icon on my desktop but its not there when i restart, how do i make it permanant? [05:26] rymo_: the "startx -- :5" or say 10 usually brings it on another screen; i toggle the ctrl+alt+FX to see which one usually [05:27] linux: so there's not a 1-to-1 relationship between x screen number and tty number? [05:27] i guess i know the default screen is :0 and it comes up on f7 [05:27] rymo_: there should be, but i don't believe so, you can try reading it maybe in the manual of screen (i don't think its in xinit or startx) [05:28] rymo_: let me experiment, brb [05:29] okay.. [05:29] <_julio_> anyone? [05:29] i just installed quite a few packages i need to remove [05:29] how would i go about finding out which ones i installed last, so that i may remove them. [05:29] rymo_: "startx -- :11" brings it to F9 on my machine [05:29] i tried apt-get remove build-essential libtool automake1.9 openssl libcurl3 libcurl3-devlibsigc++-2.0-0c2a libsigc++-2.0-dev libncurses5 libncurses5-dev [05:29] linux: thx. here's another thing: after running startx -- :1 on the f2 screen, then ctrl+alt+f7 to check on the hung guest thing, coming back to f2 showed only the console output leading up to x... could I have gotten back into that one somehow without just ctrl+c dumping it? [05:29] but its saying libcurl3-de*** isn't found, and its trying to remove half of my os as dependencies [05:30] zefyx: sudo cat /var/log/apt/term.log | grep deselected [05:30] rymo_: Let me test that theory now [05:31] <_julio_> zefyx:in gnome you can use the history function of the package manager... [05:31] rymo_: yes, it will kill X with signal 2 and leave a log above login (ctrl+c that is) [05:31] or try ls -lrt /var/lib/dpkg/info/*.list [05:32] _julio: also check synaptic to ensure the packages "network-manager" and "network-manager-gnome" are installed, also try a reinstall of those [05:32] I need help, all the file conversion programs i find do not work well, do any of you know a good file conversion program that can make a avi movie i have into an mp4 that will be supported for my ipod on itunes? For linux please [05:32] I've got a question. Is there a "gtktalog" to be found anywhere in Ubuntu-space? I've seen katalog (the KDE version) but not the plain gtk version. [05:33] chris__: I'll keep looking if no one else answers you before then [05:33] I'm trying to delete a rule i made in ufw and it is not working [05:33] linux: i had working x on f2 (still logged on as "rymo" from that one) - i checked f7 and when i came back to f2 i was looking at a still-running x but in console (that is, no windows but just the last output lines before, and not back at prompt) [05:33] sudo ufw delete and it just pulls up the list of commands like delete doesn't exist [05:33] ? for ops is there any way to verify my ip address even by private message. ip should be roadrunner nys ? [05:33] i'm not sure how to describe it better :( [05:34] i got the following error while importing images from my camera (canon xsi) http://paste.ubuntu.com/251167/ [05:34] Can you create commands in ubuntu linux? [05:34] bishop: do /whois bishop [05:34] bishop: you can do /whois [05:34] chris__: what about this one: http://sourceforge.net/project/screenshots.php?group_id=225701 ? [05:34] syntax: you mean like an alias? [05:34] bishop: your whois shows n=bishop@cpe-74-76-0-153.nycap.res.rr.com [05:34] or shell scripting? [05:35] like you know we do sudo "get-apt" install program [05:35] rymo_: that would probably mean you didn't kill it, try a ctrl+shift+FX to go above F12 if your computer supports that [05:35] could we make our own command like that [05:35] possible hijack. can not stay long...thanks [05:35] ah! suddenly it clicks, thank you [05:35] syntax: Yeah, you can make your own programs [05:35] linux: if it can convert my video it will work, how do i download it [05:36] chris__: for 32-bit processors http://sourceforge.net/projects/mvpod/files/mvpod/0.1%20alpha2/mvPod-0.0.1.67.tar.gz/download then download, tar -xvf *.gz && cd mvPod* && ./configure && make && sudo make install [05:37] time for another pc. do not have the money [05:37] has itunes became more compatible with jaunty yet? [05:37] thanks guys [05:37] hey, i'm trying to upgrade my server from 8.04 to 8.10, but "sudo do-release-upgrade" tells me there's no new release... how do i get it to realize it's a year out of date? [05:37] later [05:38] linux: i have first link, few files pop up, whats you mean by second part [05:38] fsufitch: edit /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades and set "Prompt=normal", per https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IntrepidUpgrades [05:38] rww, thanks i'll try that [05:39] any1 here [05:40] chris__: those are the operations to extract and install [05:40] !hi | vrakesh [05:40] vrakesh: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [05:40] fsufitch: does gksudo update-manager -d work? [05:41] linux: so...? im confused with computers. what do i do next? [05:41] legend2440: rww's solution worked [05:41] legend2440: -d is to upgrade to development releases, not to do 8.04>8.10 [05:41] chris__: ok you downloaded the file, then you go to applications, accessories, terminal [05:41] rww: oh ok [05:41] legend2440: and this is a terminal-only server access, i can't have gksudo ;) [05:41] is there a keyboard shortcut to force the user switch window to appear? [05:43] rymo_: not that I know of, but fg and bg work for individual processes, it might work for xinit? [05:43] howw to install ubuntu in windows [05:43] linux: terminal is up [05:43] vrakesh: do you have an Ubuntu CD already? [05:43] yeah [05:43] linux: you mean try bg the hung xinit? [05:43] i tried wubi also [05:44] (is that what's hung?) [05:44] vrakesh: so you want to install it /inside/ windows? as in, so you can run both at the same time? [05:44] but i cant run it inside windos [05:44] nanotube:s [05:44] rymo_: its a far out suggestion, but the only i can think of (xinit is usually running, but startx is just the script for xinit) [05:45] any success with itunes in ubuntu [05:45] vrakesh: try this, then: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/virtualbox [05:45] vrakesh: you are looking for virtualbox. [05:45] in virtualbox i didnt get fullscreen [05:45] Hi all. Why do I get an error on: find . -iname *pdf -print [05:45] !wine [05:45] WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [05:45] vrakesh: if you install the Guest Additions for virtualbox, you should be able to get full screen. The people in #vbox can help with that. [05:45] linux: ? terminal? [05:45] dsnyders: depends on what kind of error you get :) [05:46] chris__: terminal [05:46] anyway to make apitude uninstall say, all packages i installed within the last 2-3 hours [05:46] how do i retrieve my tomboy notes from applet? i have a tar backup of my system elsewhere and i dont want to reboot it up again? [05:46] rww:thnx [05:46] nanotube, The error is- find: paths must precede expression [05:46] q0_0p: it's somewhere in ~/.tomboy , probably ? [05:46] linux: you told me to bring up terminal, what do i do with it? [05:47] zefyx: You'd have to look at the log and figure out witch packages actually have been installed in the last 2-3 hours manually (or just remember) and then give the command to remove them. [05:47] dsnyders: quote the glob you give to find, because there's pdf files in your current dir. [05:47] i will look thx [05:47] dsnyders: '*.pdf' <-quoted [05:47] zefyx: that log is at /var/log/apt/term.log (you'll need to do sudo nano or gksudo gedit to view it). [05:47] thanks [05:47] dsnyders: else the shell expands *.pdf before running find. [05:47] where do i get tadditionshe guest [05:47] nanotube, thx i will try [05:47] q0_0p: yea, they're there, i just checked :) [05:48] prince_jammys, I was just about to ask if that was what was happening. [05:48] where do i get the guest additions for virtual box [05:48] chris__: find where the file downloaded using cd and ls, then when you see it, "tar -xvf *.tar.gz", then cd into the folder, "./configure && make && sudo make install" [05:48] dsnyders: globs are normally not quoted, but in the case of find command, they are, because they have to be processed by find. [05:48] vrakesh: once virtualbox is open and booted to windows, should find it in the menu. something like (tools -> install guest additions) [05:49] It has been nearly a month since I started asking for help on this problem. I would very much appreciate some assistance. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1214508 [05:49] thnx [05:50] hello all [05:50] prince_jammys, Thanks. quoting it fixed the "problem" [05:50] dsnyders: welcome [05:50] so what good is ctrl+alt+backspace if it kills the gui programs and not just x ? [05:50] is there any updates for firefox 3.5 for hardy [05:50] firefox 3..13 sucks [05:50] !ff35 | cbcbilling [05:50] cbcbilling: Firefox 3.5 Final is available for Jaunty by installing the package firefox-3.5 and firefox-3.5-gnome-support | FF3.5 is referred to as Shiretoko in your UI, see http://is.gd/1reB3 for an explanation | Hardy & Intrepid: http://is.gd/1jkNY [05:50] cbcbilling: look here: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxNewVersion [05:50] alot of error that i encountered when browsing [05:50] vrakesh: when you start your vm look up top and you will see a devices tap...click there and at the bottom of the dropdown!!! [05:51] on windows i can kill explorer.exe and all other programs keep running while windows re-sorts itself -- is there no linux equivalent? [05:51] howdy [05:51] rymo_: sure, you can kill nautilus, you can kill gnome-panel, and all that [05:51] Andorin: Are you running compiz? [05:51] chris__: i have to head out, to run the program from terminal, cd into the directory untared and ./program-name ("ls" should help you find program-name) [05:51] nanotube: tell me more! [05:51] linux: are you trying to tell me to type cd , and whats in both brackets? [05:51] and yes installing the vm addons will enable full screen along with mouse integration!! [05:51] !hi | cbcbilling [05:51] cbcbilling: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [05:52] rymo_: just run "killall gnome-panel" or "killall nautilus" from a terminal.... [05:52] rymo: ever hear of the killall cmd [05:52] edbian: I have a vague idea of what compiz is, but I don't know how to check whether I'm running it, using it, have accidentally configured it, etc. =/ [05:52] and i won't lose gui programs? [05:52] chris__: "cd" lets you move around linux, "ls" shows you where you are [05:52] rymo_: nope [05:52] Andorin: Do your windows wobble? Does "compiz" show up in the output of "ps -e" ?? [05:52] whoah still no updates yet [05:52] damn [05:52] rymo_: as long as you don't kill X itself, all your programl will still run. [05:53] uh...nanotube hope you have experience in that area!! [05:53] cbcbilling: try also http://ubuntuzilla.sourceforge.net [05:53] i have a cloned disk that will only boot read only - what should i do to it ? [05:53] how can i tell which process to kill to get rid of this white screen staring at me on tty7 ? === _MrsApple_ is now known as _MrApple_ [05:53] linux: well i dont understand, im new. This is like trying to do grade 12 math when your in grade 1? [05:53] edbian: "Do your windows wobble?" may be the best question I have heard all week. [05:53] Andorin: lol [05:53] chris__: Im not upset, just strapped for time [05:53] stlsaint: indeed - i've killed gnome-panel and nautilus with no ill effects to other programs :) [05:53] WOBBLY WINDOWS...gotta lovem [05:53] Does anyone have experience with the Trackpoint, 9.04, and easystroke? [05:53] edbian: It's a rather long list, but I don't believe I see it. [05:53] Andorin: PM me :) [05:54] chris__: I have to head out, but try to read the manual inside of the tar (most programs come with it)...best of luck, other people in here might know if you vary the times you enter irc [05:54] I'm having an issue with getting the gestures to be recognized [05:54] ps -AL shows only Xorg with tty7 next to it [05:54] nanotube: why may i ask would you require to kill nautilus? or panel? [05:54] nanotube: so this ubnutuzilla works ith no hassle [05:54] cbcbilling: indeed it does. and if something is not to your liking, it has auto-uninstall too. [05:54] chris: how may the ubuntu community assist you? [05:54] stlsaint: killing nautilus does seem to me to be equiv to killing explorer.exe on windows (rare need) [05:55] stlsaint: when panel hangs, or nautilus hangs. [05:55] nanotube: ww [05:55] I need help, all the file conversion programs i find do not work well, do any of you know a good file conversion program that can make a avi movie i have into an mp4 that will be supported for my ipod on itunes? [05:55] nanotube: wow [05:55] nanotube: true true...but using the kill cmd how would you get them back? [05:55] cbcbilling: give it a try. are you on 32bit or 64bit ubunut? [05:55] stlsaint: by default, killall sends a "restart" signal, rather than a kill signal, so they restart automatically. [05:56] nice [05:56] hi i just did a dual boot install w/ vista...installed vista first then jaunty...but now linux only has about 3 gb even though i originally gave it about 150gb...anybody familiar with this issue? [05:56] nanotube: my queston is do this browser has no issues with java and flash? [05:56] stlsaint: if they are really hung and you have to really kill, just run "gnome-panel &" and "nautilus &" from a treminal, to restart. [05:56] hey chris...need some specs...are you in ubuntu using a vm or are you in windows?!! [05:56] nanotube: is it also for hardy [05:56] cbcbilling: if you are on 32bit, no issues at all, all your plugins will work without any changes. if on 64bit, you have to fiddle around a little to get them working. (see the ubuntuzila faq for 64bit users) [05:56] slimjimflim, have you mounted everything? [05:56] stlsaint: im using linux [05:57] dsnyders, yea [05:57] cbcbilling: hardy should be just fine. [05:57] stlsaint: dual boot [05:57] nanotube: im using 32 bit..... [05:57] nano: yes i perfer that over kill but since you have more xp i trust you know more than me!! thanks for the info!! [05:57] In ubuntu, when i click on places menu in panel, all windows partitions are opend. which file is controllig this behaviour, or can i edit places menu. I don't want all of the windows partitions to be listed [05:57] nanotube: thanks alot... [05:57] cbcbilling: then you should be just fine :) [05:57] chris:k state your issue again? [05:57] I need help, all the file conversion programs i find do not work well, do any of you know a good file conversion program that can make a avi movie i have into an mp4 that will be supported for my ipod on itunes? [05:57] what essential packages has to be installed aftr installin ubuntu [05:57] nanotube: ill try it now [05:57] cbcbilling: no prob - give it a try, if anything goes wrong just post in the ubuntuzilla support forums (or ask me here if i'm still awake) :) [05:58] vrakesh: everything "essential" is installed by default. anything extra you install depends on what you need. [05:59] I managed to setup OpenVPN so my brother's laptop will connect to me from any where and any time so it's easy to admin his system when he needs help. My only issue is this. After setting up the bridged network Ubuntu boots up slow as hell. I used Starup-Manager to change the splash screen so that I can see boot process. It pauses for a long time on I think it was called Configuring Network Interfaces. Every thing works fine [05:59] . It just causes a slow as hell boot and I was wondering how can I fix the boot time? [05:59] nanotube: damn it says its only for jaunty... imusing hardy [05:59] chris: check out soundKonverter [06:00] cbcbilling: what says it's only for jaunty? if you try to install the .deb, it refuses? [06:00] im using ubuntu...chris what are you using [06:01] slimjimflim, I'm drawing a blank, unless it's a mount issue, or possibly a drive recognition problem. === zj3t3mju is now known as zj3t|lunch [06:02] editing fstab won't help [06:02] how to access files in linux from windows [06:02] both are on two differet comps [06:02] cbcbilling: i'm running it just fine on intrepid right now, no problems.... could you tell me what exactly you're seeing that says it's for jaunty only? [06:02] vrakesh: easiest way is ssh. [06:02] vrakesh: you need to set up samba, ftp, or http server in linux [06:02] stlsaint: how do i ... install this program on this website? [06:02] linux and windows [06:03] there is no ssh in windows [06:03] WinSCP [06:03] PuTTY [06:03] vrakesh: you can try putty [06:03] vrakesh: set up openssh-server on linux, then use winscp client on windows. [06:03] WinSCP to copy files, PuTTY for an actual ssh session [06:03] nanotube: my mistake i read the wrong blog... lol wat an idiot [06:03] nanotube: :)) [06:03] I want to setup ubuntu to use multiple partitions. I want to create a small / partition with a large /home partition. What is a reasonable size for the / partition? I don't want to run out of space on that, but I don't want there to be a ton of unused space on it either. [06:03] Does anyone have experience with the Trackpoint, 9.04, and easystroke? I'm having an issue with getting the gestures to be recognized. [06:03] vrakesh: if you just want file sharing you can use samba server [06:04] ghostdad: how big is your HD, and what are you going to be doing on the computer? [06:04] cbcbilling: don't read blogs - read the ubuntuzilla website - it has all the instructions and everything :) [06:04] Veinor: It's a 150gb hard drive and it will mostly just be used as a file server [06:04] you can probably get away with 10-15 GB for / [06:04] pitch: itried [06:04] and that's erring on the safe side [06:04] it didnt work [06:04] can anyone tell how to edit places menu in ubuntu ? [06:04] modified config file also [06:05] veinor: will that be comfortable though? how large is a default ubuntu installation? [06:05] ghostdad: 10g for / should be plenty. [06:05] Veinor, There is also a part of the PuTTY suite called pscp for copying files. [06:05] ghostdad: default ubuntu install is only 3-4g [06:05] ah okay [06:05] thanks [06:05] ghostdad: there's no way you'll install 6g of packages :) [06:05] right [06:05] I lost my toolbar in the xfce window manager how do I get it back? [06:05] I hit a key on accident and the colors on my X11 display inversed . Can someone tell me what do to get it back to normal? [06:05] hello everyone. I'm having really slow downloads in my ubuntu box, i've noticed ssh is very slow also..what could be wrong? [06:05] yeah, the only way you'd do that would be if you were doing development and needed -dev packages [06:05] mrproper: are you using compiz? [06:06] Veinor: Yes [06:06] windows key and n at the same time [06:06] er, m [06:06] Veinor: that only does one window, not all them [06:06] do m then [06:06] I have another computer on the network and I tested by downloading two exact files from the internet and one was done at 172kbps the other (ubuntu) at 23 kbps [06:06] n swaps one window, m swaps them all [06:06] Veinor: How can I disable that? [06:06] geneticx: are you on wireless on that comp? [06:07] nanotube: no [06:07] also if i buy a second (larger) hard drive, will i be able to reassign that as the /home directory? [06:07] mrproper: install the package compizconfig-settings-manager [06:07] nanotube: yeah, am just really excited with it... lol [06:07] er, /home partition [06:07] ghostdad: yes you will [06:07] Is there a way to tell what kind of ram my laptop has? [06:07] ghostdad: yes [06:07] ok thanks [06:07] Veinor: Got it, thanks for your help! [06:07] cbcbilling: ;) so, any success with ff3.5 install yet? :) [06:07] mrproper: no problem, just disable the Negative plugin [06:07] Can anyone help me with my xfce problem? [06:07] how can i own an ext3 partition im mounting in /media/drive ? I tried sudo chown michael.users /media/drive but it didn't work [06:08] nanotube: not yet still downloading.... wat a slow internet connection [06:08] nanotube: errrrrrrr [06:08] which file is controlling places menu in gnome ? [06:08] cattellar: did you try sudo chown michael:michael /media/drive ? [06:08] cattellar: 1) you probably want chown -R, 2) make sure you're doing it after mounting the partition. [06:08] Pitch: use alacarte [06:08] pitch: /boot/grub/menu.lst [06:09] Veinor, rww , thanks, let me see === revygttam is now known as mattgyver [06:09] oh wait, the places menu [06:09] hm [06:09] ~/.gtk-bookmarks [06:10] Hello, everyone [06:10] you can customize the displayed name by putting it after the file, like file:///tmp Temporary Folder [06:11] Veinor: using alacarte, you can only edit Application and System menu not Places [06:11] Veinor, rww , thank you both, i fixed it [06:11] Pitch: edit the ~/.gtk-bookmarks file [06:11] I've been trying to get vuze to run at bootup for like three hours now. does anyone know an easy way to run a command at boot-up? [06:12] supa: did you try Startup Applications under system->preferences? [06:12] supa: At bootup or at login? [06:12] no, i want it to run before the gnome session [06:12] it's a headless server === nick is now known as Guest38020 [06:13] nanotube: whoah still no luck downloading it [06:13] Veinor: can you please tell me the path of .gtk-bookmarks, /home/pitch does not contain any such file === nabeel is now known as Guest9189 [06:13] I just installed apache2 and the directives DefaultType and ForceType do not work in a .htaccess file or in the configuration files. Why? [06:13] pitch: its hidden [06:13] it doesn't? that's odd [06:13] supa, You need to place an entry in /etc/init.d [06:13] oh, yeah, it's hidden [06:14] run gedit ~/.gtk-bookmarks in a terminal, it's there [06:14] well, i've tried that - although admittedly i don't know what i'm doing. [06:14] I promise :D [06:14] cbcbilling: downloading the ubuntuzilla .deb? or downloading the firefox archive during the install process? [06:14] Anyone here use xfce? [06:14] nanotube: thee .debinstaller [06:14] megamanx1978: try #xubuntu [06:15] supa: http://embraceubuntu.com/2005/09/07/adding-a-startup-script-to-be-run-at-bootup/ [06:15] cbcbilling: strange - it's only like 20k, should come through almost instantly... [06:15] cbcbilling: maybe sourceforge is having problems with the file release servers again... [06:15] nanotube: ok by now [06:16] I am using ultimate edition with xfce and my xfce has a issue [06:16] nanotube: i think ff3.0.13 has problem [06:16] cbcbilling: you could get it from commandline... open a terminal, cd to Desktop, and run "wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/ubuntuzilla/ubuntuzilla/4.7.4/ubuntuzilla-4.7.4-0ubuntu1-i386.deb" to get the .deb :) [06:16] Veinor: yes, but it contains only Documents, Pitctures, Music, Video and Dowload, [06:16] What're you trying to do then? [06:17] cbcbilling: but... if you have such severe problems with ff3, maybe you could try cleaning out your profile? [06:17] Veinor: I have two ntfs partition in my system, when i login all these partions are listed in places menu [06:18] Veinor: I just dont want them to be displayes [06:18] Pitch: open nautilus, go to edit -> preferences, check the checkbox that says "show hidden files" [06:18] Hm [06:18] hy [06:18] nanotube: i now finshed installing .deb ff3.5 [06:18] Well the one way to do this is to not have them automount [06:18] nanotube: nothing happened [06:19] cbcbilling: ubuntuzilla is an installer. use it to install ff 3.5. [06:19] cbcbilling: (make sure to exit firefox first) [06:19] Veinor: how to disabe automount ? [06:19] nanotube: already did [06:19] cbcbilling: then run "ubuntuzilla.py" to install firefox, and follow the prompts. [06:19] well, first unmount them [06:20] nanotube: done [06:20] What's the name of the tool I can use to show a graph of pings? like a traceroute that graphs quailty [06:20] cbcbilling: so, is the installer doing it's thing? :) [06:20] I forgot it's name [06:20] cactus? [06:20] possibly [06:20] nanotube: working by now [06:21] cbcbilling: cool [06:21] NetAnnoysMe: wireshark? === zj3t|lunch is now known as zj3t3mju [06:21] i copy andpastee this code ubuntuzilla.py -a install -p firefox [06:21] nanotube: no - it's a cli app and wireshark doesn't do that [06:21] cbcbilling: right [06:22] nanotube: waiting for it by now [06:22] nanotube: ff3.0.13 really sucks [06:22] cbcbilling: what's it doing now? downloading firefox? [06:22] nanotube: just foind the answer - it's mtr [06:22] cbcbilling: heh [06:22] nanotube: ff3.0.12 is much better to use [06:23] NetAnnoysMe: hm, cool, i'll try it - never heard of it. :) [06:23] Process returned code 2 [06:23] Importing Mozilla Software Releases public key [06:23] Note that if you have never used gpg before on this system, and this is your first time running this script, there may be a delay of about a minute during the generation of a gpg keypair.

[06:25] edbian, i have tried this, but it will not launch [06:25] NetAnnoysMe, mtr is sweet. [06:25] ohh, mtr. Yep, that's a good program. [06:26] nanotube: i just updated my firefox [06:26] ... cept it doesn't "graph" results, or not as I've seen. [06:26] cbcbilling: excellent :) [06:26] nanotube: GOD BLESS US ALL [06:26] cbcbilling: lol [06:26] supa: Is it executable? [06:27] yeah, i can run it in the terminal and it will launch [06:27] are bzr codes and packages held on user local machines, or are they held on launchpad's servers? because PPA is fast but some of my bzr downloads are slow [06:27] is there a way to sync the data on my two laptops on Korganizor [06:27] supa: Can root run it? init runs things as root [06:27] cbcbilling: well, now that it all worked out, i think i'll get some sleep :) [06:27] how would I check? sudo? [06:28] yeah [06:28] or su [06:28] nope, it can't. [06:28] what can i do? can i run it as a user or something? [06:28] supa: You can change the permissions to allow root to run it. [06:29] supa: "sudo chmod +x " will make it executable by all users. [06:29] nanotube: THANK YOU for the BIG HELP... ff3.5 is really damn fast [06:29] cbcbilling: Is it a lot faster than ff3.0 on ubuntu? [06:30] can anyone tell me how can I disable automount in gnome ? and only root should be able to mount other ntfs partitions [06:30] edbian: yeah is really damn fast [06:30] cbcbilling: great to hear. enjoy :) [06:30] nanotube: GOD BLESS the INTERNET [06:31] cbcbilling: Nice! :) [06:31] edbian: in my experience, it is much faster in rendering pages and all that stuff. there are also benchmarks that show it being "twice as fast" as ff3, though i'm not sure if it really is "twice as fast", it is noticeably faster. [06:31] cbcbilling: hehe indeed [06:31] nice :) [06:31] I'm excited to try it on debian! [06:32] nanotube: last two days after upgrading my ff to ff3.0.13 i really have a hard time browsing [06:32] and as i try to see the error console of ff... damn theres to many error [06:32] cbcbilling: heh [06:33] nanotube: thank you for the help..... [06:34] cbcbilling: you are quite welcome. :) [06:34] Can you flash a bios in Ubunutu? [06:34] WilliamC: You cannot flash a bios while any OS is running. [06:35] edbian, I know, but a lot of the utilities only run in Windows. [06:35] How can i flash a Bios ? please ? [06:35] nanotube: my friend told me to go back to MICROSUCK OS... because i cant browse well... he is convincing me but i dont want to go back for that crap OS [06:35] edbian: good monring [06:35] manish: What up?! [06:35] I'm fine [06:36] XP doesn't have to suck if you know what you're doing. [06:36] I've been running XP for months on end. [06:36] edbian: I am getting GPG Error when I update from Synaptic Update Manager It says BAD Sign [06:36] cbcbilling: hehe well, there are some legitimate reasons to stick with win, e.g., gaming, photoshop, autocad.... but browsing the web isn't one of them. :) [06:36] I need to install windows ....it says the harddisk is not dectected...but in the same system i installed linux now. [06:36] what to do ? [06:36] how would I install the C plugin for eclipse? [06:36] manish: ? That's odd. Try switching servers in System -> Admin -> Software sources [06:36] nanotube: you are really right.... [06:36] WilliamC: it's a 6 year old OS - most of us have run it for years on end. :) [06:37] Bingo_NZ: windows does not see ext3 file systems [06:37] nanotube: i do always to catch some network work using ff on xp [06:37] edbian: ok trying [06:37] nanotube, I meant without turning off my laptop. [06:37] WilliamC: before coming over to the dark side. err, i mean, light side. :) [06:37] I'm running Ubuntu on another computer. [06:37] nanotube: the file is jvqms.vmx i think [06:37] I know that...thats y i am trying to flush the flash memory...but i dont know how to do that.... [06:37] some one hlep me plz [06:38] WilliamC: ah yea, i've done that too - all hail the "suspend" feature :) [06:38] ok, you should not allow anyone to use your ubuntu if you have any confidential documents in your ntfs windowsxp partition [06:39] WilliamC: but now whenever i go back to windows, i feel like a fish out of water. no "focus follows mouse" ? no terminal? no multiple desktops? wtfsck is up with that? :) [06:39] nanotube: no gnome-do [06:39] Pitch: oh, sorry [06:39] first unmount the partitions [06:39] then edit /etc/fstab as root [06:40] Do games run in WINE faster than they would in native Windows? [06:40] Veinor: hmm, never used that... what's that do? [06:40] WilliamC: probably not.... [06:40] quick program launching [06:40] linux reminds of cisco OS [06:40] lol [06:40] Veinor: like, "alt-f2" ? [06:40] yeah, but you don't have to type the full name out :P [06:41] plus you can do other stuff with it, like open ssh/vnc connections [06:41] nanotube, on top of that I'm having issues mounting a NTFS USB drive in Linux. [06:41] Veinor: at my typing speed, i'd rather type than mouseclick. :) besides, alt-f2 also autofills, so you don't have to type it all out. [06:41] nanotube: gnome-do is keyboard-launched, though [06:41] I have it on meta-space [06:41] Veinor: hmm... i'll give it a look at some point - sounds interesting. :) [06:42] Why am I unable to move a 4.4 GB File onto my 100 GB External HD formatted as FAT 32? [06:42] it's cool :D [06:42] Loafers: doesn't FAT 32 have a file size limit? [06:42] WilliamC: good thing i don't have to mount ntfs drives on my linux. :) [06:42] Veinor: done both, fstab does not have any mention about /media/WinXP [06:42] it does - about 2GB if I remember correctly [06:42] Loafers: Because the FAT32 filesize is 4 GB - 1 byte [06:42] lstarnes: Loafers: indeed, it does, max size is 4g [06:42] Pitch: odd, it shouldn't auto-mount it then [06:42] or was that 2g? [06:43] Veinor, What should I do then? GParted won't let me format it as NTFS... [06:43] Loafers: it won't? [06:43] is ntfs-3g installed? [06:43] Veinor, The option is greyed out. [06:43] edbian: actually you can flash a BIOS from within an OS but I'm not sure about Linux [06:43] WilliamC: haven't had reason to mount anything ntfs in years... but my understanding is that ntfs3g has gotten that down by now... [06:44] if the package ntfs-3g isn't installed on your computer, do that and then try [06:44] it's unsafe anyway [06:44] how can i play mid files on ubuntu? [06:44] Veinor, ntfs-3g 2009.2.1 external FUSE 27 - Third Generation NTFS Driver Yeah its installed [06:44] Loafers: try "sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g ntfsprogs", then gparted again. [06:44] Oh yeah [06:44] ntfsprogs [06:44] nanotube, ok thanks [06:44] Veinor: it is controlled by gnome gvfs deamon, not by fstab, but I don't know which file it is reading before mounting the partitions [06:45] I dunno, then [06:45] :/ [06:45] lowlycoder: hrmm... try searching in synaptic, by description and name, for 'midi', i bet you'll come up with something. [06:46] i am using ubuntu 9.04 and when i tried 'amarok 2.02 KDE' there was no sound, so I followed the advise here: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/amarok/+question/67045 -- by installing those 4 packages mentioned in the second post. So now I have audio working for amarok2, just not anything else. :( [06:46] I set the environment variable SDL_AUDIODRIVER=alsa to make a game sound work, but unfortunately I get a "No available audio device" unless running the program as root.

[06:55] corpxicle: these are encoded midi songs of snes games [06:55] manish: good, then you solved the problem [06:55] L1nUX1z3R: that shouldn't matter if im mounting it onto another system surely ? [06:55] corpxicle: if a snes can play it in real time, it should be blazingly fast on a modern cpu to just encode it [06:55] corpxicle: Problem solved itself [06:56] L1nUX1z3R: i mean i could just be wanting to wipe it .. [06:56] lowlycoder: if you really want to pursue this issue, i would talk to whoever coded the program youre using [06:56] sond, do u want to wipe it?

[07:35] crushyboi: Isn't that how it always works? [07:35] SunStealer: epson, lexmark, and i *think* brother printers have no support in linux [07:36] I'm trying to compare the differences between two ANSI encoded files. When I try "diff -a file1 file2 > output.txt", I get a bunch of jarbled text. What can I do? [07:36] crushyboi, only through routing [07:36] does anyone know why it is when i unmount a flash drive the NODE dissappears and i cant edit the partitions? [07:36] grawity: no, the service which i bind to an ip like 192.168.1.2 on port 6000 if i connect to it and check packets, packet comes from server ip like 192.168.1.1 rather than 192.168.1.2 [07:36] crushyboi, one server you can do this with, however, is apache configured for virtual IPs [07:36] gartral: ach, well, that ends my testing linux :/ [07:37] SunStealer: sorry, maybe you could write a driver? [07:37] gartral: haha, I'm the least programming savvy creature on this side of equator I'm afraid :-) [07:37] minixi: its a proxy server ss5 which i bind to particular ip on particular port, problem is the return ip, no matter what ip i use, but client gets the main ip of server. [07:38] SunStealer, you can do two things; try to get it working with Wine, or find a wrapper for the driver [07:38] SunStealer, don't let that turn you off linux. You may be able to use some alternate driver, or run a virtual windows. [07:38] crushyboi, yes, that's because of the routing [07:39] dsnyders: ls -ld /bob . [07:39] crushyboi, you could define static routes, but it wouldn't be feasible for a large number of clients [07:39] hmm, I'm kind of dependant on 100% correct color control etc, but I'll see what i can find on wrappers! [07:39] hp printers are like $60 and all work as soon as plugged in [07:39] (can you run a driver from withing for instance wine?) [07:39] and actually, lexmark has drivers [07:39] hehe, my printer is 1600,- and print amazingly :-) [07:39] sond, yes, what's the output? [07:39] theyre not postscript printers with ppd's like we're used to, but they do provide compilable drivers on the website [07:39] minixi: can we do something like route will check for which ip the request came from and then return with same ip? [07:39] crushyboi, the only other way is running small virtual machines and route via NAT [07:40] and a kit for writing drivers if you find one not currently supported, i think [07:40] crushyboi, you could do that statically [07:40] crushyboi, research static routing [07:40] minixi, ok bro, but am lost for now, don't know anythng about static routing. [07:40] I need to put my Linux PC on something, laying on the floor and looking up at the monitor hurts my neck [07:40] crushyboi, but going the virtual OS path is almost always easier [07:40] dsnyders: thats it for the /bob it returns a dot if i do ls -al /bob i get the dir listing i expect [07:40] minixi, though i heard its possible using iptables, but i don't know how [07:41] crushyboi, lol, well your problem is all about routing. :) [07:41] I'll look into pwrappers [07:41] Also, should I switch back to XP due to me mostly being a gamer? [07:41] crushyboi, yeah, you could NAT the traffic coming in ... but again, that is routing [07:41] WilliamC, dual booting seems too hard? [07:41] any howto's for that? or if you can explain , i will be thankful to you :) [07:42] are there secrets to installing Skype on Jaunty/ 9.04? [07:42] SunStealer, yeah you may find a wrapper ... maybe ndis [07:42] chal`away: called gizmo [07:42] minixi, I generally don't have a purpose to do it, and really I have no reason, other than curiosity, to be running Linux, I mean, it's not faster than Windows. [07:43] I play games. [07:43] sond, weird.

[07:46] crushyboi, it's not all that hard. Take a day and study routing. You'll be a better person for it [07:47] dsnyders: duh ! sorry i was in /bob when it returned the dot from / doing ls -ld i get as above drwxr-xr-x root root /bob etc [07:47] WilliamC, of course not [07:47] WilliamC, dude, just use windows.

[07:49] actually, I ahve the latest adobe's flash plugin installed, but whenever I watch videos on youtube, it says to upgrade [07:50] who cares what he does or how he does it? It's not relevant to the purpose of this channel [07:50] while, on other sites, it says to install adobe plugin to view video [07:50] hello. I installed a fresh 9.04 , installed the nvidia drivers and did the updates simultaneously, and on reboot xorg didn't start (no screens found) . Now I reinstalled the system (not because of that, i needed raid and didn't have an alternate cd handy then). Question: what caused xorg to bork? should i install the updates, reboot, then install the nvidia drivers? [07:50] kiaas__: um... MS does have it on their ftp site, ever since that CAL for Vista [07:50] who cares if it's MS or TPB... you have a license to use one copy of $RELEASE, that's all.

[07:53] although it could've been a random event [07:53] zamolxes: though i don't even see how you could do those things same time, as apt can operate only one instance at time :p sounds like a bug in driver manager if it allows that [07:54] th^: i think nvidia already finished installing its thing [07:54] Howdy.

[07:57] th^, its a .dv file I captured from my camcorder with Kino [07:57] Hordeking, you'll find the key combos somewhere. They are usually easily found and changed [07:58] simohayha: make sure the file has right to read too. 2nd click and properties, check it has 'read' flags [07:58] minixi: This doesn't sound much like a key combo thing...should sound keep on playing even if I go to a different terminal? [07:58] shouldn't, I should say [07:58] crushyboi, still here? [07:59] minixi: ESD is the sound manager, how do I get at its configs? [07:59] th^, I've put both read and write and root for Owner and Group [07:59] i want to make my ubuntu partition bigger but its locked(not mounted i just tried to umount on my live cd) can someone tell me how to unlock it (i am on the live cd right now) [08:00] Hordeking, describe your problem in more detail. What app is playing the sound? What do you do that stops the sound? [08:00] simohayha: bizarre. try copy from terminal. can you do that or need instructions? :) [08:00] http://technical-itch.co.uk/2007/09/18/how-to-install-skype-on-ubuntu/ says i should have 'Tools --> Repositories.' I don't see tools? [08:00] what's the difference between xubuntu-9.04-alternate-i386.iso and xubuntu-9.04-desktop-i386.iso [08:01] minixi: Well, I've never seen this issue before. I'm just playing audio through audacious, and I alt-f1'd to a console session to do some stuff, and the sound stopped. Then, when I came back, it started immediately. [08:01] wally1337: alternative has text-mode installer only [08:01] OK, so I un-installed Firefox 3.5 and disabled the Ubuntu-Mozilla repo. But after I reinstalled Firefox 3.0.13 my add-ons, history, and bookmarks are gone but they're still in /.mozilla/Firefox . How do I fix this? [08:01] wally1337, more Nirvana mp3s in the alternative one [08:01] i want to make my ubuntu partition bigger but its locked(not mounted i just tryed to umount on my live cd) can someone tell me how to unlock it (i am on the live cd right now) [08:01] minixi: It seems a little far-fetched that the whole program would stop when I do that. [08:01] Hordeking, what happens when you start a terminal another way? [08:01] Hordeking, not with alt-f1 [08:01] when converting wmv to avi with mencoder I get a lot of "failed to open registry file" and "xx duplicate frames" - am i missing something? [08:01] th^, i actually tried that and it says "cp: omitting directory `/root' " [08:01] chal`away: System > Administration > Software sources is what you're looking for :) [08:02] simohayha: You need to specify the source filename too... [08:02] minixi: You mean just by going to the menu and pulling up a terminal session? Nothing I wouldn't have expected. Sound keeps going, etc [08:02] simohayha: if you want copy directories with cp, you need -R (recursive) parameter. did you really point cp to the _file_, not directory? [08:02] i want to make my ubuntu partition bigger but its locked(not mounted i just tryed to umount on my live cd) can someone tell me how to unlock it (i am on the live cd right now) [08:02] Hordeking, try it anyway. It will confirm my suspicions ... a key combo conflict [08:02] hi minixi [08:02] minixi: All I did was alt-ctrl-f1 to a console window, like any sane linux distro [08:02] can we route using iptables using the source header marking? [08:03] minixi: I've been opening terminal windows all night with no problems noticed. [08:03] th^ i got that part, i'm inside Synaptic, i think.. but no Tools, that I can see? [08:03] th^, this is what I tried- sudo cp /root /home/simo/Desktop [08:03] Hordeking, er, now you are saying you dropped from the GUI into a console login? [08:03] UBUNTU-ROCKZ-: Dude, try running "sudo gparted" in the terminal [08:03] minixi, he is changing to a different tty [08:03] chal`away: tool i listed opens the dialog you want for. i dunno why it's not there [08:04] minixi: Yup, tty's 1-4 all have the same effect. Come back to the X session, and it cranks back up [08:04] chal`away: but system>administration>software sources opens the dialog in picture [08:04] no two [08:04] Hordeking, of course [08:04] Hordeking, you have used windows?... you have used fast user switching?... that is what you are doing when you change tty [08:04] Hordeking, when you go to terminal you are breaking the pipe to the GUI and the apps started through it [08:04] is there any way in gnome-terminal to send an f10 command or an f1 command (they both go to the gui) [08:05] Hordeking, all sound stuff is on tty1, when you change to tty2 sound isnt running anymore on what you are veiwing..... [08:05] Hordeking, try starting the sound with a CLI app and put it in the background and then switch to a terminal and see what happens [08:05] minixi: I don't get it. How is that breaking the pipe? Shouldn't the pipe go right on existing? [08:05] Hordeking, you wouldnt want to hear the last channel, when you change to a new one when watching tv, would you [08:05] Hordeking, all sound stuff is on tty1, when you change to tty2 sound isnt running anymore on what you are veiwing..... [08:05] Second post: OK, so I un-installed Firefox 3.5 and disabled the Ubuntu-Mozilla repo. But after I reinstalled Firefox 3.0.13 my add-ons, history, and bookmarks are gone but they're still in /.mozilla/Firefox . How do I fix this? [08:06] grawity, thanks man I forgot to do that. Solved my prob [08:06] Hordeking, the sound is still playing, but not on the new session ... only the old session [08:06] th^, solved my prob thanks a lot [08:06] Okay, this is wierd. [08:07] minixi: that sounds like maybe a driver issue, intel sound perhaps? [08:08] Hi. I've noticed nautilus sometimes displays old thumbnails for some pictures, and that's very confusing. I was wondering if there are alternatives in nautilus preferably gnome, that don't have this problem [08:08] how do i set window transparency? [08:08] Does anyone know what the command is to convert wmv to another video format [08:08] I exited the login, of course, the sound cranked back up when it went off to the X session...when I switched back to the terminal I logged off at, and log on again, the sound starts playing while at console... [08:08] thedeacon, google for mencoder, that's the right tool [08:08] That's not something that makes sense to me, since I would expect the X session to keep on doing whatever it was doing before, regardless of what terminal I have it on. === _jhw_ is now known as Lvcifer [08:09] Hordeking, you said you logged off from it?? [08:09] prodigel, i tried mencoder but get a bunch of duplicate frames and failed to open registry file output [08:09] minixi: Let me make sure they're all logged off. [08:10] chal`away: by the way, i think you can install skype .deb package directly from skype.com [08:10] Hordeking, ok, hold on. I'm going to try to replicate this [08:10] All console sessions logged off, sound silent when I go to them [08:10] thedeacon, I'm no mencoder expert, I've used it conversions some time ago and it worked. I'm afraid I can't help you further [08:10] I've installed ubuntu and everything is ok but because an error somebody (me :P) shuts down from the button and then i can do nothing. It leaves me in an administrative shell as root. But everything i'll try it tolds me i can't do. It means x configuration or startx or whatever. What can i do. It seems to be mounted everything just reading mode. [08:10] th^ i probably want these repositories and things, anyway [08:11] I'm sitting at almost a default ubuntu install. Hopefully this isn't related to the fact that I brought in my home directory over that which ubuntu set (which was related to the other questions I had) [08:11] chal`away: either way works. easy way is anyway to go to http://www.skype.com/intl/en/download/skype/linux/choose/ and just click on ubuntu package :) it opens graphical gdebi installer [08:11] *bump* on this line [08:11] iptables -t mangle -A POSTROUTING -o eth3 -j IPMARK --addr=dst --and-mask=0xffff --or-mask=0x10000 [08:12] th^ thanks [08:12] I wonder why minixi left... [08:12] th^ [08:12] * Ubuntu 7.04-8.04 ? [08:12] Is anyone here running Firefox and the latest version of flash under WINE?(NOT the native versions for linux.) [08:12] chal`away: yep. it should work just fine on newest one too [08:13] WINE 1.1.27* [08:13] prodigel, thanks for the info [08:13] okies th^ . i have a 64 bit machine [08:13] chal`away: it seems that package at skype.com is 32bit. no idea if it works ^^ [08:14] anyhelp with this syntex whats wrong in here ---> iptables v1.3.5: Unknown arg `--addr=dst' [08:14] th^ i think all they have still IS 32 bit [08:14] chal`away: yeah looks like it :| [08:14] Er.. wow. I failed it. I'm running Firefox and Flash under WINE 1.1.23, I had issues with 1.1.24. I want to know if anyone is running it under 1.1.27, and if so, how stable is it? if not, is anyone willing to test it for me?

[08:15] th^ because there is/was a bug with the native version preventing a flash game from working correctly, and it's faster under WINE.. though has a few graphical glitches [08:16] chal`away: i'm not sure if 32bit package works on 64bit :/ [08:16] chal`away: check this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=432295 [08:17] chal`away: check the 'install' header.. seems quite straightforward [08:17] I want to do a search via command line and I only want it to display a file name 1 time if it contains some text even if it contains that text more then once ie rgrep -r 'find this text' . | more ??? this works but shows the file name multiple times if it contains the text multiple times anyone :) [08:17] chal`away: looks like a copypaste & done :9 [08:17] th^ that's pretty much like what i was doing .. i'll give it a try, thanks :) === gartral_ is now known as gartral [08:20] oh well back to work. wonderful world of openoffice and writing documentation like a monkey..

[08:24] th^, gartral, thx [08:24] crushyboi, did you also try #Netfilter ? [08:24] mankeletor: np, yw [08:24] no chal`away: [08:25] what i want is traffic which is coming for an ip should go with the same ip not the real ip of server :( [08:25] im trying to get hardy to boot via grub that is installed on a jaunty partition. running update-grub from jaunty doesnt see the hardy partition. any ideas? [08:26] holy quiet. [08:27] chal`away: :( noob here, can you explain me what exactly i should do and where? [08:27] hi Yos [08:28] Hi No1 [08:29] *hoping* [08:29] * crushyboi is hoping for a miracle guy to help him [08:31] crushyboi, i haven't done iptables, so i'd be lost helping you.. but it's the right thing to do [08:31] what is netfilter @ chal`away [08:32] how do I unmount? [08:32] i hate my isp, they are 'improving things' while disconnecting me over and over again [08:32] I just recompiled a new kernel (2.6.30.3) with standard configuration. When I reboot the startup graphics are messed up (3 ubuntu symbols all in the top third of the screen). I'm probably doing something stupid, does anyone know what im doing wrong or where to look for specific unformation about this problem [08:32] crushyboi, #netfilter is where #iptables redirects to [08:32] dAnon: sudo umount [08:32] is there any media center function in ubuntu? [08:33] unmount /dev/sda <--- where sda is your hard drive @ dAnon [08:33] functionality* [08:33] vladk, look for drivers for your situation [08:33] wally1337: There are a slew of players...what do you want to do, have a music environment? [08:33] chal`away: Is there anywhere specific I can look for more information on what you mean? [08:33] th^: oook, i updated the system, rebooted, all ok, install nvidia drivers, rebooted, bork. any clues now? [08:33] Guys, how do I mark a thread as Solved on the forum? [08:33] it say command is not found [08:33] firefishe: i was more thinking divx movies ;) [08:33] zamolxes: mmh.. what's your nvidia card? :/ [08:34] dAnon: are you sure you typed "umount" and not "unmount?" [08:34] "-bash: unmount: polecenie nieodnalezione" in polish command is not found [08:34] two nvidia 9500GTs, linked with a SLI cable [08:34] oh [08:34] thx DrMrHorse [08:34] and im gathering that onboard intel graphics will cut it for dvd/divx playback in linux? Im talking intel exreme grahpics.. or perhaps intel extreme II graphics [08:34] vladk, there should be drivers for your video card, if ubuntu didn't find them right .. is what you're running the latest version of ubuntu? [08:34] the command is umount for better confusion [08:34] wally1337: Divx is trick on any linux system, at least by my own experience. I use xine for most dvd playings, but sometimes Totem for other things. VLC can play movies, too. [08:34] trick=tricky [08:34] mount -u /dev/sda @ dAnon [08:35] I remapped my swap partition to another HDD, now I am just editing my fstab to match (from a liveCD), but each partition is using a UUID. how do I change it? [08:35] firefishe: really why is it tricky [08:35] chal`away: Yes Im on 9.04, the kernel that gets updated by the package manager works fine. Its only my custom recompiled kernel that doesn't work. I'm not sure where to look for what driver I might need [08:35] vagothcpp: The same way. You can use sudo blkid to get the UUIDs of the partitions [08:35] Flannel: Thanks [08:35] Guys, how do I mark a thread as Solved on the forum? [08:35] vagothcpp: Or you can use the /dev/sd** style too, that still works. [08:37] vladk, look up your video card plus the word drivers and ubuntu 9.04 === suigeneris is now known as Kartagis [08:37] is there any advantages/disadvatages of using a UUID? [08:37] Firefishe: divx is suppirted threw xvid linux support is pretty good [08:37] how do I check which /dev/sdX represents which partition/ [08:37] ? [08:37] fdisk @ dAnon [08:37] dAnon: also try df -h [08:38] chal`away: OK, before I do that one question. I just noticed that I didn't have a /boot/abi-$(KERNEL_VERSION) file though I did have all the others that the stock ubuntu kernels had. Could it have been to do with that? [08:38] Guys, how do I mark a thread as Solved on the forum? [08:40] DrMrHorse it doesn't show my linux partition's notation [08:41] hmm [08:41] I typed fdisk -ls and it says cannot open /dev/sda [08:42] dAnon: Is it a SATAII disk or SCSI? [08:42] http://www.wired.com/techbiz/it/magazine/17-07/mf_freer?currentPage=2 [08:42] dAnon: run it as root? [08:42] is there a way to sync my korganizer calender with my laptop from my desktop [08:43] SCSI [08:43] can anyone read me? [08:43] dAnon: Then you may need a SCSI driver installed for it to be recognized [08:43] worked DrMrHorse [08:43] thx [08:43] ? [08:43] didn't see I wasn't rot [08:43] root [08:43] I guess I phailed [08:43] np [08:44] !ping [08:44] ping yourself ;-) really the diodes all down my left side are sore [08:44] when metacity compositor is active on the latest stable intel driver sometime the panels disappear [08:44] om26er: i get that too [08:44] ubottu netfilters [08:44] Sorry, I don't know anything about netfilters [08:44] ubottu netfilter [08:44] Sorry, I don't know anything about netfilter [08:44] gartral: so u got any solution [08:44] im trying to get hardy to boot via grub that is installed on a jaunty partition. running update-grub from jaunty doesnt see the hardy partition. any ideas?

[09:08] xim_, aptitude installs both remote and local packages. [09:09] xim_: As far as I can see it, yes. [09:09] xim_, aptitude is a bit newer that apt-get if i recall correctly [09:09] NOTICE - If you couldn't speak to the channel during the past minutes, please try again now.

[09:16] inuh: the live cd will not do such a sscan [09:17] gartral: just delete the entire fs and make a new one [09:17] gogeta: so i have to boot it from my pc and do a scan ??? [09:17] inuh: you on live cd or hdd [09:17] live cd [09:17] gogeta: i cant... the drive's node "dissappears" when i try too do that [09:18] gogeta: i am on live cd [09:18] gartral: toss it in the garbage [09:18] gogeta: its one of those U3 smart drives, it isn't mine, and i have too repair it [09:18] I have an Ubuntu 8.04 running in VmWare ESX. Anyone have any idea why adding another 4GB ram on top of the 4GB that's there now would cause it to kernel panic on boot? And yes, it is 64bit [09:18] gartral: sd cards dont last forever [09:18] gogeta: and i HAVE removed the U3 software correctly [09:19] hateball: you can't run vmware esx on ubuntu [09:19] gogeta: its BRAND new.. i had to take it out of the packaging myself [09:19] hateball: vmware esx is running directly on hardware [09:19] gartral: might be defectiv [09:19] gogeta: it isnt an sd card.. [09:19] jacekowski: That's great, and I already knew that. However if you read my question, you'd see I typed *in* rather than *on* [09:19] it worked before a write cycle got interupted by powerfailure [09:20] mhm [09:20] gartral: reformating the drive should not creipple it [09:20] hateball: so you add 4G to host? [09:20] gogeta: as stated several times it's a U3 capable drive, and they weird [09:20] hateball: and it causes guest to panic? [09:20] Hey all... this *may* be a little off-topic, but hoping you can help. I'm chasing a telnet or telnet-like tool which will let me specify a local (source) port to use on a connection -- I'm trying to verify a potential issue with some firewall rules on my network [09:21] jacekowski: No, to the guest... the 8.04 ubuntu running server kernel [09:21] gartral: have you just tryed a reformat [09:21] A custom kernel that I recompiled is not able to load the propietary ATI 'fglrx' driver and its messing up my bootup. I tried switching to the 'radeon' driver in my xorg.conf but that doesnt even work with the standard ubuntu kernel. Is there a good resource for info on what I need to do to get fglrx to work with my custom kernel? I can only find info on using it with the ubuntu distribution kernels [09:21] gogeta: i said this, time and time again, i try and reformat it and the node for the drive dissappears after i unmount it [09:21] hateball: can you show that panic? [09:22] jacekowski: I'm running ubuntu on standard hardware where I have no problem adding a lot of ram. it just doesnt work well in vmware, but I dont know if it's a vmware or ubuntu issue. I mean... it doesnt work *in* vmware... but where is the blame? :) [09:22] gartral: plug in windows box and do so [09:22] gartral: they format mounted [09:22] gogeta: here this is as FAR as iv'e gotten http://pastebin.com/m4eccd7e9 [09:22] jacekowski: Hmmm, afraid I cant right now...

Do you have any pointers on finding out the IMAP server from within squirrelmail? [09:47] gartral: im shure there is [09:47] gartral: What's the exact problem? I missed it.

(this as far as i can tell, i may be wrong, but the symptom is right) [09:50] what was the name of the package for the debian bar? [09:50] Ah, right. [09:50] Tried TestDisk?

See if it can restore the disk to operation and try if you can then write a new partition table. [09:52] Boohbah: /me bangs head against desk "Iv'e tried.. MANY times" [09:52] (Or, perhaps testdisk might actually repair the borked partition table entirely) [09:53] * gartral is beginning to wonder if he's the only one who knows about /last [09:53] gartral: lol === kb is now known as Guest30707 [09:54] MacGyverNL: i dont care, the only thing on it is a half borked portableapps installation [09:55] Boohbah: hm, I think i'm in over my head a bit here. I'll try to do some reading to figure things out. Thanks for your help. [09:55] gartral: In either case, testdisk might be able to restore the stick to operation. I suggest you try it.

None seem to work. === lipsin__ is now known as lipsin [10:03] MacGyverNL: yep... but the U3 tech. is partially hardware... meaning even after you clen it out, theres still a watchdog to "prevent hacking" the damn drive >.< [10:03] Then I'm afraid I'm out of ideas. Sorry. [10:03] hello, is it safe to use ext4 with jaunty netbook remix? [10:03] MacGyverNL: holey crap... testdisk forced the write! [10:03] It did? [10:04] go goog ? [10:04] Cool :P [10:04] kick goog out ! [10:04] MacGyverNL: now i did an analysis... and its failing 100% of the sectors! this might be a good thing [10:05] Or a bad one. But if it is, the drive couldn't be used anyway, so it's not as if there's any loss to be had here, only gain :P [10:05] MacGyverNL: AWESOME! the drive is clean [10:06] hello is it safe to use ext4 with jaunty?

[10:08] MacGyverNL: seeing it's only a 1 gig drive, i can smeg that opt [10:09] I honestly don't know. FAT32 is past it's "best before" date anyway. [10:09] how can i get tor working for my games?!

Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. [10:31] hi, i just installed 9.04 on an older XP laptop but have not been able to get pandora.com to load via firefox, any ideas? [10:31] gartral, cant i senf runlevel parameter to kernel at boot ti,e [10:31] debra: have you installed flash player? [10:32] hi guys, i have some problem regarding VPN in the terminal (PPTP), anyone ever made a successful connection? [10:32] gartral: I mean, no execution of anything else, just the .xinitrc. would the Exec=~/.xinitrc work? [10:32] yes, but it gave several plugins to load but they don't seem to load properly or can't find them wherever they are supposed to load from [10:33] gartral, cant i send runlevel parameter to kernel at boot time [10:33] R0b0t1: not sure.. try? [10:35] how do i check if iptables enabled or disabled? [10:36] crushyboi: iptables -L [10:36] crushyboi: sudo iptables -L gives you a list of active rules [10:37] !Upstart [10:37] Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [10:37] crushyboi, "iptables -L -v -n" gives you a more precise list than "iptables -L" [10:37] !runlevel | Aayush [10:37] Aayush, please see my private message [10:38] [root@pentium-d network-scripts]# iptables -L -v -n [10:38] Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT 0 packets, 0 bytes) [10:38] pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination [10:38] Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT 0 packets, 0 bytes) [10:38] pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination [10:38] Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT 0 packets, 0 bytes) [10:38] crushyboi: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[10:40] crushyboi: no it's not active [10:40] i have a problem whit my ubuntu partition , its locked and i don't know how to unlock it [10:40] how to activate it @ myrtti can you help ? [10:40] inuh: what are you trying to do to it? [10:40] inuh: patience! the people haven't really changed since you last asked! [10:40] i want to resize it [10:40] yo yo yo [10:41] inuh do you have dual booting ? [10:41] yea [10:41] inuh: you need to unmount the partition before you can resize it [10:41] whats the partition type you trying to resize? [10:42] i did umount and it says it isn't mounted [10:42] inuh: which method did you use to install ubuntu in the first place? [10:42] inuh: if you run mount it will show what is mounted [10:42] i used the live cd [10:42] i'm copying my harddisk to new one [10:42] inuh: you installed from inside a live session that was Ubuntu, or from inside windows? [10:43] resizing and doing lot of stuff with it [10:43] from inside a live sesion [10:43] ok, just checking :-) [10:43] not really [10:43] from live system [10:43] jacekowski: make sure the data backup is recent on the partition(s) you are resizing [10:43] ActionParsnip1: it's reiserfs [10:44] if i do mount i get a load of text [10:44] and besides [10:44] i first copied it to new harddrive [10:44] and now i'm playing with partition sizes [10:44] jacekowski: doesnt matter, backups are still great for if something goes wrong [10:44] inuh: could you please pastebin the output of mount and sudo fdisk -l [10:44] and only importand data that's on this disk is my porn collection [10:44] important* [10:45] nice :) [10:45] Does ubuntu "up" the internet devices via some widget in gnome? [10:45] i would have burnt my hard drive if i had porn on it [10:45] :) [10:45] So if I say, ran dwm, they would not start? [10:45] just make sure what you need isnt ultimately lost in an emergency and you can do what you like :) [10:45] R0b0t1: if you did ifconfig down network-manager would not bring them back up. It would just fial [10:46] ziroday: Well, I mean, from the login screen, if I make my own *.desktop file, move it to /usr/share/xsessions etc.. [10:46] R0b0t1: you can add auto in /etc/network/interfaces [10:46] Would it be expected that the xsessions file or something it calls ups the device? [10:47] http://paste.ubuntu.com/251254/ [10:47] inuh: are you currently on the livecd? [10:47] where does opera install to on ubuntu ? [10:47] ziroday: http://paste.ubuntu.com/251254/ [10:47] or any program [10:47] R0b0t1: i wouldnt think network upage was the xsessions concern [10:48] outy: in a variety of places. What are you looking for? [10:48] outy: due to the nature of linnux there is no one place === elwood is now known as Guest91832 [10:48] Me neither, but ubuntu seems to do some odd things :\ [10:48] I am having trouble installing a mod for Springlobby. Any ideas? [10:48] outy: apps use may libs which are shared between other apps and will reside in /lib, binarys and other stuff will be elsewhere but it does not install to a single folder like windows does [10:49] Hi all, in evolution, when setting up your account with smpt you can select 'authentication PLAIN'. Does this mean that no authentication is used? [10:49] Trijntje: iirc it means that it is used, but it's not encrypted in any way [10:50] Trijntje: it means your username and password are passed along the network in plaintext. [10:50] R0b0t1: i always use the interfaces file, makes life slicker [10:50] So auto eth1? [10:50] Myrtti, ziroday: so thats no good then, thanx for the reply [10:50] R0b0t1: indeed [10:50] Thanks :) [10:51] ActionParsnip1: resize on reiser is safe operation - it's builtin into kernel, it's journaled, there is no way that resize can go wrong - it's as safe as any other operation [10:51] jacekowski: what if you hav a power outage during the operation [10:51] ziroday: what do i have to do (sry i was away for 1min.) [10:51] ziroday, myrtti: but what if you select "use secure connection: TLS encryption" in combination with PLAIN? [10:51] ActionParsnip1: journal [10:51] jacekowski: or a surge [10:51] ActionParsnip1: resize on reiser is journaled [10:52] hi, is there any way on linux to see the current level of my printer's ink [10:52] jacekowski: ive just seen too many people in here moaning their data is lost when they start doing stuff like that or when their drive dies and they havent got a backup but their data is "important" [10:52] ActionParsnip1: besides i have UPSes [10:52] jacekowski: its an eample [10:52] ActionParsnip1: and diesel generator that will start 10 seconds later [10:53] Idhan: depends if the printer driver can talk to the printer to ask it. HP ones usually can [10:54] ActionParsnip1: I have a HP psc1310 [10:54] ziroday: can you help me plz [10:54] 9.10 dah rilis blom ? [10:54] !karmic | anux [10:54] anux: Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 2009 - Karmic WILL break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [10:54] ActionParsnip1: and one more thing - i moving and resizing partitions on new disk, and old one is completly untouched [10:54] yups [10:54] i'm* [10:55] In evolution account setup: what happen when you select "Use secure Connection TLS" to smtp with authentication: PLAIN. Is your password send in plaintext that way? [10:55] terakhir sa dengar sudah alpha [10:55] jacekowski: its just a friendly warning RE what i said earlier [10:55] tq actioons [10:55] Idhan: the hp driver in your task bar will tell you [10:56] btw 9.04 support via chrome9 ? [10:56] HCIGP [10:56] Trijntje: server needs to support encryption [10:56] Idhan: http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/install_wizard/index.html [10:56] Trijntje: and password is sent AFTER encryption is negotiated [10:56] ActionParsnip1: I try "sudo apt-get install hplip" and is already installed... [10:56] Idhan: hplip-gui [10:57] jacekowski: so when i select TLS and PLAIN my password is not send in plaintext? [10:57] Idhan: there may be a newer version on the site [10:57] anux: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenChrome [10:57] Trijntje: that depends [10:57] Trijntje: it's sent in encrypted connection [10:58] Trijntje: but if somebody can acess endpoint of that connection then he can get that password [10:59] Trijntje: there is DIGEST authentication that doesn't send password over network [10:59] Myrtti: thanks... I can see it right now. :) [10:59] jacekowski: ok, thats cool. But how do they know it is me than? [11:00] i configured runlevel 3 as i need , how do i boot into in during boot time [11:00] Trijntje: challenge-response auth [11:00] tq actions [11:01] Trijntje: server sends you a challenge which is then mixed with a password and server does same thing [11:01] Trijntje: and then response is sent back to server, if response calculated by server is same that means you have correct password [11:01] jacekowski: hmm, ill read into that. For the moment though the server only alows PLAIN over TLS. But as long as the password is not send over in plaintext i'm (quite) happy [11:01] Trijntje: challenge is different every time [11:01] jacekowski: thats a smart system, I wish they'd use that [11:02] Trijntje: with TLS password is only unencrypted on endpoints [11:02] but tls have couple weaknesses [11:03] but that's a long story [11:03] jacekowski: so where possible i should use ssl? [11:03] same problems [11:03] ah, so where possible i should use paper mail ;) [11:03] no [11:03] with tls or ssl [11:04] server confirms it's idenity [11:04] and if you are sure that's legit server [11:05] so when you connect to id you have to verify server certificate fingerprint [11:05] are there any good docks for kde 64 ? [11:05] to it* [11:06] jacekowski: and evolution checks the certificate right? So thats quite safe i should think [11:06] hai [11:06] it checks stored fingerprint with current fingerprint [11:06] I'm quite new to linux [11:06] but [11:06] I am getting this in SSH: ./Aseco.sh: line 2: /dev/null: Permission denied [11:06] How would I go about fixing that? [11:07] how do you know that it isn't fingerprint of server that's in the middle and sniffs your traffic [11:07] when you connect first time you should verify that fingerprint [11:08] jacekowski: where can i find the fingerprint in evolution? [11:08] ussualy certificates are signed by verisign or somebody else [11:08] how do i format a floppy to 1.72 mb? [11:08] but then it's the question how much do you trust them [11:09] fdformat /dev/fd0u1722 [11:09] isnt working [11:09] Trijntje: i don't use evolution [11:09] gives this: /dev/fd0u1722: No such file or directory [11:09] Yossi, the flopy dont use anymore [11:10] but i am using it [11:10] Hi all, since I've installed pavumeter, I've been unable to play any audio file... any idea what went wrong?
