kamokow | hector__: It depends what you are using it for | 00:54 |

danbhfive1 | hector__: then just do ext3 | 00:55 |
hector__ | i want to learn | 00:55 |
kamokow | hector__: do ext3 or something | 00:55 |
hbekel | almostautomated: upgrading to bash 4 will be a disruptive update, beware | 00:55 |

shovon | My wireless usb adapter detcts wireless access points, but never connects. Any help? | 01:03 |
shovon | macius: what's the previous driver? | 01:03 |
almostautomated | hbekel: Well, I gotta go get food prepped and served so it is something for later. Thank you very much for trying. | 01:03 |
shovon | macius: what's the previous driver? | 01:03 |
Uqbar | Eklianteh: you'll have to make two partitions on the USB stick: one without encryption, to carry truecrypt, and the other encrypted. or you could have just one nonencrypted partition in which to store the encrypted filesystem in a file, but this might be slower. | 01:03 |
shovon | macius: is it an ati card? | 01:03 |
Uhuru | danb: thanks | 01:04 |
hbekel | almostautomated: well, keep digging... | 01:04 |
Eklianteh | Uqbar, may I pm? | 01:04 |
danbhfive1 | Uhuru: and you may want to watch this page (see if it gets updated): http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Installing_Ubuntu_9.04_(Jaunty_Jackalope)_on_a_ThinkPad_X200 | 01:04 |
lakotajames | compiz stopped working. Help? | 01:04 |
almostautomated | hbekel: it's one of those challenges best served with good liquor ;) | 01:05 |
shovon | lakotajames: Tell us more. | 01:05 |
hbekel | almostautomated: indeed | 01:05 |
Uqbar | Eklianteh: I'm going to bed, sorry. but just google along the lines of my previous answer and you'll find your way pretty soon. | 01:05 |
Eklianteh | kk | 01:05 |
Jyxt | Eklianteh: you could do 2 partitions, one small one to contain truecrypt the other encrypted to hold your data...or you could keep it all unencrypted and just use encrypted files etc...truecrypt is very versatile | 01:05 |
zagabar | oldude67: You are my saviuor! It worked. :D | 01:05 |
zagabar | Thank | 01:05 |
zagabar | s | 01:05 |
Uqbar | Jyxt: heh | 01:05 |
lakotajames | shovon: I don't know any more. It used to work, then it randomly stopped. I went to the appearance thingy, and changed desktop effects to none, then changed it back to extra, and it says they couldn't be enabled. | 01:06 |
Eklianteh | I'd like to have the encrypted partition. Is there a way to make Truecrypt autorun whenever I insert the stick? And if so, how do I make it work on windows, linux, AND mac? | 01:06 |
Jyxt | Eklianteh: i believe what you asking...the autorun and working on 3x OS is beyond the scope of this irc chat room | 01:07 |
Jyxt | Uqbar: oops, didnt see your answer there :P | 01:07 |
Uhuru | danbhfive1: thanks a lot, i have already takena look on theses pages but i´m still hang | 01:07 |
Eklianteh | True. My apologies | 01:07 |
Jyxt | Eklianteh: but really part of encryption is not letting 'them' know your running encryption...ie counter-intelligence no | 01:08 |
Jyxt | be better to run the hidden files part of truecrypt...keep it all plaintext, put a bunch of 'normal' looking files and hide your data in those | 01:09 |

m1dlg | how do I fix my drive permissions? I can't open my USB DVD drive, and I don't have any other and this has been a problem for a while. sudo chown user:user /media/? doesn't work but does on a couple of HDD's I sometimes plug in. I can't get it to work persistently though | 01:09 |
kamokow | Im back | 01:10 |
kamokow | m1dlg: you could use ALT+F2 then gksudo nautilus | 01:10 |

kamokow | then change the drive permissions | 01:10 |
`brandon` | Hello, i am trying to use a file but it says ImportError: no module named twisted.internet | 01:10 |
xenoterracide | how do I set the domain for a machine? | 01:11 |
`brandon` | any idea's on what i can do? | 01:11 |
Dist | turns out that even though it doesnt mention it, it only works on a FAT32 formated USB stick | 01:11 |
xenoterracide | right now it shows up as host.localdomain | 01:11 |
Dist | my stick was formated as NTFS | 01:11 |
danbhfive1 | Uhuru: yeah, makes sense. It looks like no one has gotten it working. If you need that feature, you should just use windows for the time being. | 01:11 |
kamokow | xenoterracide: is there a network setup that you want to join. Or do you want to set one up | 01:11 |
xenoterracide | I suppose join... but I'm really just looking for a file to edit | 01:12 |
xenoterracide | this is on server | 01:12 |
Jyxt | Dist: reformat to fat32? | 01:13 |
m1dlg | kamokow - I don't get the icon there to edit. I can't give it permission if it's not there. | 01:13 |
spo | have any of you beat or gotten very far in nethack or hack? | 01:13 |
spo | or rogue? | 01:13 |
illikawn | i prefer mud | 01:13 |
illikawn | and circlemud at that | 01:13 |
kamokow | m1dlg: run nautilus, navigate to your dvd drive then right click -> properties -> permissions | 01:13 |
Jyxt | mud is pretty broad, in thats not a game its a genre so to speak | 01:14 |
hbekel | xenoterracide: grep the init scripts for hostname and domainname, maybe? | 01:14 |
Jyxt | same with circlemud :P | 01:14 |
Jyxt | while nethack is an actual game | 01:14 |
m1dlg | If the DVD drive showed up I would, it's not there until I have permission to mount it | 01:14 |
Jyxt | m1dlg: edit your /etc/fstab to allow users to mount the drive? | 01:14 |
kamokow | Oh, I see, i misunderstood your problem, sorry | 01:15 |
marcelo_ | I have some type conversions on my code and g++ is not issuing warnings that it should, even though -Wall is enabled, Is this the right flag for type conversion? Is there any flag to turn every warning in error? | 01:15 |
m1dlg | jyxt - how? | 01:15 |
hbekel | spo: not sure if nethack is even designed to be beat :) | 01:15 |
Uhuru | danbhfive1: right, however as I real am allergic to windows, I´ll try to forget the screen rotation option hopping that one day developpers will furnish us some script or some ¨ready to use¨ packages for that | 01:15 |
Slart | marcelo_: afaik -Wall should warn about all the stuff it can | 01:16 |
heater | If anyone has some time i am having a few Eclipse Problems. | 01:16 |
Jyxt | m1dlg: do nano /etc/fstab and look for a line like | 01:16 |
Jyxt | /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom auto noauto,ro 0 0 | 01:16 |
danbhfive1 | heater: whats the problem? | 01:16 |
Slart | marcelo_: although I'm not sure a type conversion is supposed to give a warning.. unless it's implicit | 01:16 |
Jyxt | something like that...and add: users to the noauto,ro part so it looks like noauto,ro,users | 01:16 |
paissad-hp | hi everybody ! | 01:17 |
heater | Well currently i have downloaded Eclipse 3.5 I am not using the dev package, but when i create a java project it gives me this error "Problems occurred while trying to save the state of the workbench. | 01:17 |

heater | /home/austin/workspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.resources/.projects/testJava/.markers (No such file or directory) | 01:17 |

bruce89 | marcelo_: there are lot more flags for that than just -Wall | 01:17 |
FloodBot3 | heater: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 01:17 |
Jyxt | though i have no experience with usb drives...in theory it should be the same | 01:17 |
SnakDoc | hey anyone have any idea y i get logged off every so often ? | 01:17 |
paissad-hp | i would like to use vnc from my laptop to my server-destop station , here is what i did | 01:17 |
paissad-hp | root@paissad-server:~# ps ax | grep -i vnc | grep -v grep | pastebinit - | 01:17 |
paissad-hp | http://pastebin.com/f1b031568 | 01:17 |
Jyxt | m1dlg: if it still doesnt work, use the uuid of the drive (unique id of the usb drive) instead of its /dev address which can change | 01:17 |
paissad-hp | so we can say that there"s a vnc server | 01:18 |
Slart | marcelo_: you could try -Wextra... that turns on some extra warnings that -Wall doesn't enable | 01:18 |
paissad-hp | but the matter is that when i type 'vncviewer paissad-server' from my laptop , here is what i got | 01:18 |
marcelo_ | Slart, When I compiled the code on fedora, I got lots of issues, but here on ubuntu I am get no warning at all even though -Wall is enabled ... don't know why. | 01:18 |
paissad-hp | vncviewer: ConnectToTcpAddr: connect: Connection refused | 01:18 |
paissad-hp | Unable to connect to VNC server | 01:18 |
paissad-hp | You are trying to send an empty document, exiting. | 01:18 |
Jyxt | get uuid like so: blkid /dev/mnt/point/of/device | 01:18 |
FloodBot3 | paissad-hp: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 01:18 |
paissad-hp | where am i wrong | 01:18 |
Jyxt | like blkid /dev/sdc5 | 01:18 |
marcelo_ | Slart, I will try. | 01:18 |
th0r | paissad-hp: you are trying to connect as root? | 01:19 |
Slart | marcelo_: not really sure why that would be... well.. have a look here.. lots of switches to play around with http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Warning-Options.html | 01:19 |
m1dlg | Jyxt, TheUSB drive is a combination drive with a HDD and a set of card readers too, the HDD is visible and the DVD is a burner | 01:19 |

kamokow | I need to use a recovery disc to install windows (dont ask why >_>), but I dont want to erase Ubuntu. Any workaround so I can do this? | 01:19 |
heater | danbhfive1: have any ideas? | 01:19 |
th0r | paissad-hp: then why is the root xstartup being executed? | 01:19 |
danbhfive1 | heater: no, sorry | 01:19 |
heater | danbhfive1: ok thanks any way :) | 01:20 |
Slart | marcelo_: oh.. I just found a switch called -Wconversion ... that might be what you're looking for | 01:20 |
paissad-hp | th0r, the pastebin is the output from the server | 01:20 |
th0r | paissad-hp: and the root .Xauthority | 01:20 |
m1dlg | Jyxt, If the lines relating to my XP HDD and the DVD drive would it 'fix' it with new lines? | 01:20 |

nownot | anyone? please | 01:22 |
th0r | paissad-hp: are you logging into vnc as root? | 01:23 |
Ben64 | you should start vncserver as a user, not root | 01:23 |
marcelo_ | Slart, Thak you lots of warnings now. | 01:23 |
Ben64 | otherwise your entire vnc session would have root privileges | 01:23 |

Ben64 | tommy_: which laptop is it? | 01:38 |
tommy_ | thinkpad iSeries | 01:38 |
Gadu | I tried installing a newer version of java for my firefox. After it finished I check the java version in firefox extensions and it has not changed. Any suggestions? | 01:38 |
gogeta | Ben64: it normaly make that dir as a tmp when it automounts for a old school mount you gotta make it :) | 01:38 |
tommy_ | it just made the screen go blank | 01:38 |
Ben64 | gogeta: mine always exists : / | 01:39 |
heater | i figured out my eclipse problem, if someone can just help me set permissions would be helpful | 01:39 |
tommy_ | I restarted and theres still a 1" frame around my window | 01:39 |
Ben64 | tommy_: need more info of laptop, like exact model number | 01:39 |
mdg | tommy_: how old is your laptop? | 01:39 |
danbhfive1 | heater: wow, I was guessing it wasnt a permissions problem, since it was in your /home. weird. Anyway, you can use the chown command, and chmod | 01:40 |
tommy_ | IBM ThinkPad iSeries 1300 | 01:40 |
tommy_ | not sure on age... celeron 700 | 01:40 |
tommy_ | sooo prolly 2000ish | 01:40 |
heater | yea it is odd, but i went to the directory that it was having problems and tried to make the directory myself and it wouldn't let me...odd, so then is it "chmod user ." | 01:40 |
heater | chown*** | 01:41 |
phoenixz | Im using nmap on a server and I have X11 in the results, is this VNC? | 01:41 |

m1dlg | Jyxt, FIXED!"! | 01:42 |
tommy_ | I went to the screen resolution setting and it's an unknown display type, won't let me change the res at all | 01:42 |
mdg | tommy_: my first laptop was a Thinkpad 310ED, 166 Mhz! Whew! | 01:42 |
Jyxt | m1dlg: user can mount it? | 01:42 |
m1dlg | Thanks guys :) | 01:42 |
danbhfive | heater: if you ls -al ~/workspace I can help you craft a specific command | 01:42 |
m1dlg | yes | 01:42 |
mdg | tommy_: had the same problem you are having | 01:42 |
tommy_ | my first was a compaq contura 386 66 mhz | 01:42 |
Gadu | heater: be sure to replace username with your actual username of course =P | 01:42 |
tommy_ | lol | 01:42 |
tommy_ | or was it 33 mhz, can't remember | 01:42 |
d1gital | hello all, I have just installed Exaile, but when I try to start it, it hangs at the Exaile splash screen. I get no interesting output when ran form terminal and it has to be killed -KILL to get the splash off my screen. Has anyone else seen this? | 01:42 |
Jyxt | m1dlg: one suggestion...type blkid dev/scd0 and copy that output into /etc/fstab | 01:42 |
heater | haha yea i did | 01:42 |
tommy_ | how did you resolve issue mdg? | 01:42 |
danbhfive | heater: Gadu 's command is a good start actually | 01:42 |
m1dlg | Jyxt, I now will play, have tto decrypt and rip this one. Thanks | 01:42 |
Jyxt | replace the /dev/scd0 with uuid=THE NUMBER YOU JUST GOT | 01:42 |
Jyxt | since you mentioned playing with alot of HDD's...dev/s## addresses change but uuid's dont | 01:43 |
heater | danbhfive: yea thanks, im going to see if eclipse has problems now | 01:43 |
heater | Gadu: yea lol | 01:43 |
m1dlg | ok | 01:43 |
Ben64 | tommy_: 650mhz? | 01:43 |
mdg | tommy_: unfortunately, I couldn't....becauase it was so old | 01:43 |
Jyxt | so instead of /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 auto noauto,ro,users 0 0 | 01:43 |
tommy_ | ben64: celeron 700 mhz | 01:43 |
Ben64 | hm | 01:43 |
Jyxt | it'll be UUID=blahblahblah /media/cdrom0 auto noauto,ro,users 0 0 | 01:43 |
cantoma | bastidrazor, i realise that Evince @ http://live.gnome.org/Evince/RoadmapPDF is planning to add Multimedia (Sound, Movie) feature .. but this could take years and depends of the developers rhythm | 01:44 |
mdg | tommy_: which ubuntu you running? | 01:44 |
tommy_ | I went to bios and enabled "automatic screen expansion" but it didn't change anything | 01:44 |
m1dlg | Jyxt, I did that and got /dev/scd0: LABEL="NEW" TYPE="udf" instead. | 01:44 |
tommy_ | mdg: 8.04 | 01:44 |
heater | that fixed the problem, awesome, thanks for your help guys | 01:44 |

anunaki | c.a. 2000 | 01:46 |
tommy_ | lol nice, it's kind of an intriguing concept | 01:46 |
tommy_ | I had to give it a shot | 01:46 |
mdg | tommy_: maybe Compiz > general settings > Display? Guys, what do you think? | 01:46 |
tommy_ | what is compiz though? | 01:46 |
phoenixz | tommy_: 3D desktop, special effects, etc.. | 01:47 |
Jyxt | m1dlg: its not *that* big a deal really...just remember that sometimes if you have alot of devices plugged in it might change teh /dev/address assignment | 01:47 |
Ben64 | tommy_: compiz is pretty effects | 01:47 |
anunaki | compiz is what makes windows users move to linux | 01:47 |

phoenixz | d1gital: I imagine, but still what exactly makes it more usable? | 01:49 |
tommy_ | I'm kinda lost, sorry guys | 01:49 |
MsMaco | Ali_nz: before installing, put labels on the two ends with "A" and "A" or something so when you are looking at one, you can find the other easily | 01:49 |
m1dlg | Jyxt, If I can live with the problem I've had for so long, I can live with the address problem. it's no issue. that command doesn't make reference to the dvd so I'll play with what I've got. when the next release is out I'll buy a new drive and have a fresh instal. the upgreade is what stuffed this machine up but I ran out of 1TB drives so I can't do much till then. | 01:49 |

Jyxt | m1dlg: glad to help :) | 01:49 |
MsMaco | Ali_nz: doh. umm....boo. yeah that sounds like the way to do it. and then label them when you figure it out so you dont have to do it again | 01:49 |
Dr_Willis | Jyxt: compiz replaces teh window manager. so it could intheory run with xfce by replaceing xfwm (the xfce window manager) | 01:49 |
m1dlg | good night | 01:49 |
edbian | Jyxt: It is also true in ubuntu. | 01:49 |

MsMaco | tommy_: what are you trying to... | 01:50 |
d1gital | phoenixz: i dont knoe really.. i mean, i assume that if i had these magical little information panes on a real deask, i wouldn't want them to wobble. | 01:50 |

tommy_ | won't let me | 01:50 |
dtcrshr | hi everyone. im following this tutorial http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=873749, but i dunno how to remove the libflash i already got. on synaptic iv made a search for flash, lib, i got some results, but none checked. did the steps on the final, that seemd to work but still got no sound.. any clues? | 01:50 |
MsMaco | tommy_: if you open a terminal and run "xrandr" does it list the resolution you want? | 01:50 |
phoenixz | hehehe | 01:50 |
Ademan | does anyone know how i can recover from a segfault when dpkg is processing libc6 triggers? | 01:50 |
Jyxt | well i guess im confused on terminology then...like im running fluxbox now...if i want to run compiz i cant run fluxbox...compiz runs as its own wm...havent tried to get compiz to run under fluxbox, would be nice | 01:50 |
Ben64 | MsMaco: he's got a laptop, resolution is set too small, won't let him increase. The screen has a border because of it. | 01:50 |
tommy_ | it's 800x600 or 640x480 | 01:51 |
tommy_ | 800x600 is the only one that works | 01:51 |
MsMaco | Ben64: thanks for the summary | 01:51 |
tommy_ | and I'm framed on all 4 sides by an ince | 01:51 |
tommy_ | inch | 01:51 |
tommy_ | wasn't sure if there was a way I could manually adjust this or not | 01:51 |
Ben64 | i believe that laptop supports a max of 1024x768 | 01:51 |
MsMaco | tommy_: if you run "xrandr" in a terminal (appliations ->accessories -> terminal) what resolutions does it list? | 01:51 |
tommy_ | it does | 01:51 |
Jyxt | its one or the other not both...why im asking if i could run compiz under xfce...running xubuntu on my desktop | 01:51 |
MsMaco | Ben64: also good to know! | 01:51 |
tommy_ | let me check and get back to you in one sec | 01:51 |

tommy_ | I have another computer identicle to this one right next to me with xp on it | 01:52 |
Jyxt | Ben64: maybe you need to update your gfx driver? on my desktop i had max resolution of 1024x768, updated the gfx card driver and now i can push 1600x1200 :) | 01:52 |

d1gital | Guest729: ifconfig | 01:54 |
Jyxt | Guest729: sudo ifconfig will tell you your IP? | 01:54 |
nmvictor | NFischer: remastersys would do | 01:54 |
Dr_Willis | alexnet: a script would need to be 'executable' 'chmod +x whatever' | 01:54 |
Jyxt | Guest729: but thats not a 'dedicated' IP...your router would handle that | 01:54 |
tommy_ | 1024x768 is what XP is running at | 01:54 |
MsMaco | tommy_: ok try this: xrandr --newmode "1024x768_60.00" 63.50 1024 1072 1176 1328 768 771 775 798 -hsync +vsync | 01:54 |

Guest729 | i need the internet ip | 01:55 |
Guest729 | so when i install cpanel | 01:55 |
MsMaco | tommy_: ok. what does xrandr call your screen? | 01:56 |
Guest729 | i use http://ip:2086 | 01:56 |
MsMaco | tommy_: LVDS maybe? | 01:56 |
Ben64 | Guest729: do you have physical access to the machine | 01:56 |
d1gital | the internet-facing one is your router's IP to the rest of the worls, you will need to configure DMZ/NAT in your router if you need dedicated ports for that machine] | 01:56 |
Guest729 | yes | 01:56 |
tommy_ | with quotes it went to the next line down | 01:56 |
Guest729 | its right next to me | 01:56 |
tommy_ | w/o it gave me the xrandr opts list | 01:56 |
Ben64 | Guest729: then use the 192.x.x.x address | 01:56 |
Guest729 | but | 01:56 |
MsMaco | tommy_: ok then with quotes was right. ill have to remember that | 01:57 |

MsMaco | tommy_: when you run "xrandr" alone what name does it give for the screen? | 01:57 |
Ben64 | edbian: not a reliable one afaik | 01:57 |
Ben64 | windows does a better job at that | 01:57 |
MsMaco | tommy_: ok so its "default" ... alright | 01:57 |
edbian | Ben64: Thanks | 01:57 |
tommy_ | floodbot got mad at me lol | 01:57 |
MsMaco | tommy_: xrandr --addmode default 1024x768_60.00 | 01:57 |
Jyxt | Guest729: you need your public IP? | 01:58 |
d1gital | hello all, I have just installed Exaile, but when I try to start it, it hangs at the Exaile splash screen. I get no interesting output when ran form terminal and it has to be killed -KILL to get the splash off my screen. Has anyone else seen this? | 01:58 |
Guest729 | i guess so | 01:58 |
tommy_ | no response | 01:58 |
MsMaco | tommy_: that should associate the 1024x768 with your screen | 01:58 |
Guest729 | so other people can access my server | 01:58 |
MsMaco | tommy_: no response = no error | 01:58 |
Jyxt | Guest729: you can do a traceroute to google | 01:58 |
Guest729 | but, im behind a wireless router | 01:58 |
Jyxt | traceroute www.google.com | 01:58 |
d1gital | not to be rude, Guest729, but if one does not know how to find one's own IP, one should probably not be setting up a webserver. | 01:58 |
MsMaco | tommy_: then "xrandr --mode 1024x768_60.00" | 01:58 |
Ben64 | Guest729: then the ip would be the same as your ip | 01:58 |
Guest729 | how do i link the 2 together? | 01:58 |
rano | hi | 01:58 |
Jyxt | and the 2nd or 3rd ip that shows is yhour public | 01:58 |
MsMaco | tommy_: and that *should* switch you to that one | 01:58 |
Ben64 | Guest729: whatismyipaddress.com | 01:58 |
tommy_ | ok wait | 01:58 |
Guest729 | yes ive tryed that bit | 01:58 |
tommy_ | after typing xrandr --addmode default 1024x768_60.00 | 01:58 |
Guest729 | i got that bit | 01:58 |
Guest729 | but i somehow need to link the to together | 01:59 |
nmvictor | d1gital: how about reinstalling, i have wine working correctly in my ubuntu 8.10, are you in 9.04? | 01:59 |
tommy_ | it gave me an option for 1024 x 768 in the screen res config | 01:59 |
Ben64 | Guest729: link what two together? | 01:59 |
Jyxt | Guest729: you need to setup port forwarding in your router then | 01:59 |
tommy_ | but when I clicked it and hit apply nothing changed | 01:59 |
Guest729 | i dont no how to do that but, people have said port forward, but i dont no how to | 01:59 |
MsMaco | tommy_: that was the point :) | 01:59 |
tommy_ | lol | 01:59 |
MsMaco | tommy_: aww | 01:59 |
tommy_ | we're moving in the right direction | 01:59 |
d1gital | Guest729:you need to forward port 80 to that 192.x.x.x address. | 01:59 |
Jyxt | Guest729: and thats dependnat on your router...which is? | 01:59 |
dtcrshr | well, opera is now working, i got sound on youtube, but firefox dont. | 01:59 |
Guest729 | my router is a netgear | 01:59 |
MsMaco | tommy_: if you do the "xrandr --mode 1024x768_60.00" does it give any errors? | 01:59 |
dtcrshr | how do i use the same plugin of flash on opera to firefox? | 01:59 |
Guest729 | i dont no how to port forward | 01:59 |
Guest729 | could somebody help me with this | 02:00 |
Guest729 | ? | 02:00 |
MsMaco | tommy_: thats the command line equivalent to the screen config gui | 02:00 |
Jyxt | Guest729: what kind of router do you have | 02:00 |
Ben64 | Guest729: why run a server and cpanel on a home based server? | 02:00 |
MsMaco | Ben64: development? | 02:00 |
d1gital | nmvictor: yes i am using 9.04 however i am trying to install Exaile media player.. not wine. | 02:00 |
tommy_ | no it gives me ntohing but a > on the next line down | 02:00 |
Guest729 | because its got to run a few websites | 02:00 |
Guest729 | and i like cpanel | 02:00 |
Jyxt | Guest729: see this link | 02:00 |
Jyxt | http://kbserver.netgear.com/kb_web_files/N101145.asp | 02:00 |
tommy_ | like it's waiting for more input | 02:00 |
Guest729 | i have a netgear @ Jyxt | 02:00 |
Guest729 | yep | 02:00 |
Ben64 | Guest729: but i doubt your connection would be fast enough to support much more than a small website | 02:00 |
Jyxt | once there just click the link for your specific model...then follow directions | 02:01 |
mdg | d1gital: how did you install exaile? | 02:01 |
Guest729 | really | 02:01 |
Guest729 | seems fast to me | 02:01 |
tommy_ | msmaco: all it did was give me a > prompt on the next line down | 02:01 |
MsMaco | tommy_: maybe if you say: xrandr --output default --mode 1024x768_60.00 | 02:01 |
Guest729 | i have a 100mbps | 02:01 |
d1gital | mdg: sudo apt-get install exaile | 02:01 |
Ben64 | Guest729: somehow i doubt that | 02:01 |
Guest729 | thats the plan i took out | 02:02 |
GianMar | notte a tutti | 02:02 |
mdg | d1gital: is this a fresh install - have you updated and added Medibuntu repos? | 02:02 |
nmvictor | d1gital: exaile media player is what i mean, sorry about the wine, have been having issues with it so i probably just came as i was typing.reinstall exaile or start it from terminal with exaile command so you can see any errors | 02:02 |
tommy_ | msmaco: xrandr: Configure crtc 0 failed | 02:02 |
d1gital | Guest729: damn. my company's web server isnt even on 100mbps... i have my doubts. | 02:02 |
Lunixed | Just now i rebooted into Ubuntu 9.04 and its x server does not start | 02:03 |
Lunixed | What to do ? | 02:03 |
MsMaco | tommy_: oh boo. :( lets try going to #ubuntu-x | 02:03 |
wookienz | hi, have a SATA HDD plugged into a PCI raid card. The raid card has two dirves plugged into it. One drive is being recognized, the other is not. Nothing on fdisk -l. It is possibkle the drive is faulty since i took it out of a RAID 5 array as it failed. Just trying to see if it is the drive or the sensititive raid array. | 02:03 |
Guest729 | 1 sec | 02:03 |
Lunixed | some applet error it shows if i do startx | 02:03 |
MsMaco | tommy_: theyre the graphics driver guys | 02:03 |
tommy_ | be right there | 02:03 |
JanC | I think the "easiest" way to solve problems with resolutions not being recognized is still adding a modeline in xorg.conf ツ | 02:03 |
Guest729 | so | 02:03 |
d1gital | mdg: fresh install. i have not added those repos.. i'll look into that. | 02:03 |
Guest729 | i have 50mbps | 02:03 |
nejode | Guest729: http://portforward.com/ | 02:03 |
Guest729 | would this not be fast enough | 02:03 |
mdg | d1gital: probably best to let it get all its updates - 200+ | 02:04 |
Jyxt | Guest729: see this link and follow directions | 02:04 |
Jyxt | http://kbserver.netgear.com/kb_web_files/N101145.asp | 02:04 |

Guest729 | Jyxt ive tryed those links, but, i cant even get into the router ive tryed both passwords it just wont let me in | 02:04 |
Guest729 | what would i do now? | 02:05 |
edbian | kermit: PM me | 02:05 |
d1gital | mdg: why does it require a separate repo, though? i would think that the ubuntu repos should have a working deb.. adding anyway. | 02:05 |
Ben64 | d1gital: licensing issues and stuff | 02:05 |
nmvictor | kermit: sorry, to Admin>Services | 02:05 |
Lunixed | someone help me.. | 02:06 |
Lunixed | Just now i rebooted into Ubuntu 9.04 and its x server does not start , when i do commandline login and do startx i get some applet error...What to do to get a normal login..Is it the problem with xserver ? | 02:06 |
d1gital | Ben64: oh i see, kinda like the whole Iceweasel thing. that drove me crazy when i first installed debian. | 02:06 |
mdg | Lunixed: how long you been running 9.04 on this computer | 02:06 |
Lunixed | 10 days | 02:06 |
Lunixed | mdg | 02:06 |
Ben64 | d1gital: yeah kinda | 02:06 |
Ben64 | but it's easy enough to add medibuntu | 02:06 |
Ben64 | and sooo worth it | 02:07 |
Guest729 | anybody no what i can do? | 02:07 |
Guest729 | ive tryed both passwords none work | 02:07 |
Lunixed | It was workign perfecly fine till before 30 mins mdg | 02:07 |
Ben64 | Guest729: reset router | 02:07 |
wildnfree | Lunixed: what did you do before re-booting? | 02:07 |
Guest729 | and that will work fine? | 02:07 |
nmvictor | kermit: i think System>Preference>Sessions is more editable | 02:07 |
Lunixed | nothing..was doing my project in Netbeans | 02:07 |
Ben64 | it will set everything back to default | 02:07 |
Ben64 | including passwords | 02:07 |
Guest729 | ok | 02:07 |
Guest729 | thanx | 02:07 |
mdg | I think there should be an option when you boot to chose the last good configuration... | 02:07 |
kermit | nmvictor: i dont have 'sessions' | 02:07 |
eggy | hey - I'm tryen to dual boot between Ubuntu 9.04 and Windows 7; I've got two sata drives, I installed Ubuntu on the primary, then I powered down and setup the secondary disk as a primary installed windows on it - all seems well, but Grub is NOT picking up sdb (hd1,0) device.map shows it though.. Any ideas? | 02:07 |
wildnfree | Lunixed: Why did you reboot? | 02:08 |
MsMaco | wildnfree: hello :) | 02:08 |
Lunixed | To test the program in windows | 02:08 |
wildnfree | MsMaco: Hi there! | 02:08 |
nmvictor | kermit: whats your system, ubuntu jaunty or intrepid? | 02:08 |
kermit | nmvictor: jaunty | 02:08 |
Lunixed | Is there any way to get the last known good configuration | 02:08 |
Lunixed | ? | 02:08 |
eggy | Also, I run grub as root, in Ubuntu it picks up hd1, but not when I boot up :s | 02:08 |
Um_cara_qualquer | excuse me... does someone know how to start the installer of the cd rom from ubuntu 8.10 instead open it? | 02:08 |
Hilikus | hey guys | 02:08 |
wildnfree | Lunixed: What configuration did you do in your last session in Ubuntu 9.04? | 02:09 |
bruce89 | kermit: it's session preferences now | 02:09 |
mdg | Um_cara_qualquer: the live CD? | 02:09 |
Hilikus | i updated my kernel today to 2.6.28-15 and my nvidia restricted driver stopped working | 02:09 |
nmvictor | kermit System>Preference>Sessions should be available. The main menu | 02:09 |
Lunixed | nothing much...installed lamp-server | 02:09 |
Um_cara_qualquer | yes | 02:09 |
edbian | It's "Start-Up apps" now | 02:09 |
d1gital | mdg: i added that repo, did apt-get update; apt-get upgrade and didnt get any updates.. am i missing something here? | 02:09 |
bruce89 | kermit: Oops, I meant startup applications | 02:09 |
kermit | my rc.local isnt getting run, it's in the etc/rc.d .. i dont understand why | 02:10 |
Guest59384 | can we watch a movie here on this ubuntu os? | 02:10 |
Lunixed | mdg : installed lamp-server only | 02:10 |
Ben64 | Hilikus: you need to update nvidia with kernel | 02:10 |
mdg | d1gital: did you get the medibuntu key? | 02:10 |
d1gital | mdg: yes | 02:10 |
Hilikus | Ben64: ok and how do i do that? | 02:10 |
nmvictor | install vlc, mplayer gxine or codecs for totem and you wont have to ask that | 02:11 |
kavurt | !compiz | 02:11 |
ubottu | Compiz (compositing window manager), for a howto see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager and more help #compiz | 02:11 |
Ben64 | Hilikus: how did you do it last time | 02:11 |
Lunixed | can i have my last known good configuration in ubuntu 9.04 ? | 02:11 |
Guest198 | hi, i just reset my router, neither passwords (password , or 1234 work) | 02:11 |
Guest198 | no what do i do | 02:11 |
Guest198 | ? | 02:11 |
Hilikus | Ben64: iirc last kernel update it just worked | 02:11 |
tommy_ | ok even though I set the res at the new option of 1024x768 in the gui menu, it did nothing, and xrandr still says I'm running at 800x699 | 02:11 |
mdg | d1gital: there should be a log file in the update program to tell you what was updated and when | 02:11 |
edbian | Lunixed: You need to edit the file that stores what applets you have loaded. | 02:11 |
tommy_ | 600* | 02:11 |
Ben64 | Hilikus: i mean, how did you install nvidia | 02:11 |
edbian | Lunixed: PM me :) | 02:11 |
Ben64 | Hilikus: if you did it through synaptic, it should have done it all for you | 02:12 |
nmvictor | eggy: did someone help you dual boot issues? | 02:12 |
tommy_ | Screen 0: minimum 640 x 480, current 800 x 600, maximum 1024 x 768 | 02:12 |
Ben64 | Hilikus: if you installed it yourself from the file at nvidia.com, you will need to do that again | 02:12 |
tommy_ | it's an option now, I just don't know how to switch to it | 02:12 |
Hilikus | no, i didn't install it manually. it was from the repo | 02:12 |
Guest198 | hi, i just reset my router, neither passwords (password , or 1234 work) | 02:12 |
Ben64 | tommy_: try CTRL+ALT+- | 02:12 |
Guest198 | wat now | 02:12 |
Ben64 | tommy_: on the numpad | 02:12 |
Guest198 | ? | 02:12 |
wildnfree | Lunixed: With the amount of information you are able to supply me, I can only recommend 2 options: First is to undo any changes you made in your last session, The second is to back-up all your data (probably not much in 10 days) and re-install Ubuntu 9.04 - then keep a good record in future of any configuration changes you do. | 02:12 |
tommy_ | it's a laptop there's no num pad lol | 02:13 |
d1gital | mike@vera:~$ sudo cat /var/log/apt/term.log | grep exa | 02:13 |
d1gital | Selecting previously deselected package exaile. | 02:13 |
d1gital | Unpacking exaile (from .../exaile_0.2.14-0ubuntu2_amd64.deb) ... | 02:13 |
d1gital | Setting up exaile (0.2.14-0ubuntu2) ... | 02:13 |
FloodBot3 | d1gital: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 02:13 |
Ben64 | yes there is, use function keys or whatever | 02:13 |
wildnfree | whoops! I didn't get that reply to Lunixed quite in time. :-( | 02:13 |
tommy_ | i cycled through it a few times | 02:14 |
tommy_ | nothing bigger than what I've got now though | 02:14 |
Ben64 | tommy_: it went smaller though? | 02:14 |
tommy_ | yep | 02:14 |
Ben64 | hmm | 02:14 |
edbian | wildnfree: I pm'd him | 02:14 |
nmvictor | eggy: http:pastebin/f3ff536cf | 02:14 |
tommy_ | should I see what it does if I connect an external monitor? | 02:15 |
d1gital | i think i'm going back to commandline mplayer. never gave me any problems. exaile wont run and rhythmbox just sucks. | 02:15 |
wildnfree | edbian: thanks - I can't type fast enough for some ;-) | 02:15 |
mdg | d1gital: have you tried moc? | 02:15 |
Lunixed | Ahh.....someone told me to pm on the main chat....Please I forgot your nick...Sorry tell me again :) | 02:15 |
edbian | where is the file that holds the data for what applets are in the panel? | 02:16 |
edbian | .gnome2? | 02:16 |
d1gital | mdg: i have not | 02:16 |
MsMaco | tommy_: external may require booting with it plugged in | 02:16 |
tommy_ | i'm so lost | 02:16 |
Lunixed | edbian, you right? | 02:16 |
mdg | moc= music on console | 02:16 |
tommy_ | yeah I think it does for this model | 02:16 |
nmvictor | d1gital: too bad, more info on what you've tried so far might help | 02:16 |
Dr_Willis | edbian: some file in .gnome2 or .gconf* i imagine | 02:16 |
mdg | d1gital: starts by typing mocp | 02:16 |
MsMaco | edbian: you can remove applets through gconf-editor | 02:16 |
edbian | MsMaco: He doesn't have GUI | 02:16 |
tommy_ | and it would require me putting my battery in which I'm entirely too lazy to do | 02:16 |
MsMaco | edbian: oh | 02:16 |
MsMaco | edbian: ok then ... well theres a cli version... gconf-tool i think | 02:17 |
d1gital | mdg: hmm perhaps this will help diagnosing all media players on my system.. mocp tells me i have no valid sound driver | 02:17 |
bruce89 | gconftool-2 | 02:17 |
MsMaco | d1gital: lsmod | grep snd | 02:17 |
mdg | d1gital: hmm..... | 02:17 |
MsMaco | d1gital: any output? or just takes you backto a prompt? | 02:17 |
mdg | d1gital: you using pulseaudio or someting else? | 02:17 |
FirstSgt | i tried to install apache2 via the Synaptic Package Manager, it seems like it worked, but the entire /etc/apache2/httpd.conf is blank. What happened? | 02:18 |
d1gital | MsMaco: 16 lines of output.. | 02:18 |
MsMaco | d1gital: then youve got sound drivers | 02:18 |
d1gital | mdg: pulseaudio | 02:18 |
=== hades__ is now known as dcosta |
danbhfive | FirstSgt: fyi: mine is empty too | 02:18 |
tommy_ | this is getting obnoxious | 02:18 |
mdg | d1gital: I don't think moc can use pulse audio | 02:18 |
MsMaco | d1gital: if you try "paplay" and then a music file name...hear anythig? | 02:18 |
tommy_ | if it's an option why can't I switch to it now? | 02:18 |
FirstSgt | danbhfive: at least I know im not alone. first time i've installed apache with a blank conf :) | 02:19 |
d1gital | mdg: come to think of it, i dont think sound was working on youtube earlier either | 02:19 |
t0mm0 | Gaah! whats the ubuntu canada room name... | 02:19 |
Dr_Willis | !ca | 02:19 |
ubottu | Canadian Ubuntu users can be found in #ubuntu-ca | 02:19 |
tommy_ | does the fact that it lists my refresh rate for 1028x768 at 59.9?? | 02:19 |
tommy_ | it's 60 for all the rest | 02:19 |
t0mm0 | Thanks Ubottu | 02:19 |
MsMaco | tommy_: i dont think so... | 02:19 |
funkja | Is it true that when running gnome, xorg.conf is not the only thing configuring my X server? | 02:20 |
mdg | d1gital: if you doubleclick your sound icon on your panel bar, you can choose different options - have a look | 02:20 |
mdg | d1gital: that's double left click | 02:20 |
MsMaco | funkja: xorg.conf is completely unnecessary to get a working X server for all versions of X in the last yaer and a half | 02:20 |
bruce89 | funkja: hal does a fair bit | 02:20 |
Dr_Willis | funkja: thats not really 'gnome' related. :) the newest X org stuff also uses HAL to do some autoconfiguration | 02:20 |
tommy_ | I mean I was really surprised to turn this thing on and have everything working flawlessly, including the internal wifi | 02:20 |
nmvictor | could someone be knowing where configuration files for vlc could be lying in my system? | 02:20 |
EagleScreen | hello | 02:20 |
Dr_Willis | funkja: i can delete my xorg.conf and get a working system | 02:20 |
tommy_ | only thing thats really bugging me is the display | 02:20 |
d1gital | mdg: 3 pulseaudio options, an OSS and an ALSA | 02:20 |
funkja | Wonderful | 02:20 |
MsMaco | d1gital: does sound work *at all*? | 02:21 |
MsMaco | d1gital: like if you run "speaker-test" do you hear static? | 02:21 |
superjoel | is there a way to get my sed output in an array? | 02:21 |
Dr_Willis | nmvictor: try 'locate vlc | less' | 02:21 |
y2kkmac | hello, everyone | 02:21 |
Dr_Willis | nmvictor: theren theres user configs that can override the system defaults | 02:21 |
FirstSgt | ls | 02:21 |
bruce89 | nmvictor: dpkg -L vlc | 02:21 |
MsMaco | superjoel: to use in a program? well youd want your program to parse the outpt and insert the stuff into an array | 02:21 |
EagleScreen | anyone using Ubuntu here? please tell me if folder '/usr/lib/python' exist in jaunty | 02:21 |
d1gital | MsMaco: system->preferences->sound->test works, but speaker-test gives alsa error, unable to open slave | 02:21 |
superjoel | MsMaco, kind of.. | 02:22 |
funkja | So, I have a laptop with a docking station and 2 external monitors. I have an intel based graphics card and am running the intel-pga driver. If the System->Prefs->Display won't make it work right, what should I use to hack it to work? | 02:22 |
bp0 | is there an installer for windows, like wubi, that will install ubuntu to its own partition like the cd installer? | 02:22 |
Ben64 | EagleScreen: i bet everyone is using ubuntu here | 02:22 |
danbhfive | EagleScreen: not for me | 02:22 |
Dr_Willis | d1gital: no.. its all got pythion#.# for the version #'s | 02:22 |
MsMaco | d1gital: "ps -ef | grep pulse" oes it say pulseaudio is running? | 02:22 |
bruce89 | Ben64: 'fraid not | 02:22 |
Dr_Willis | oops that was for EagleScreen :) | 02:22 |
Um_cara_qualquer | folks, how can i start the installer of ubuntu 8.10 in the linux mint? | 02:22 |
Dr_Willis | python2.4/ python2.6/ python-support/ | 02:23 |
Dr_Willis | Um_cara_qualquer: Huh? | 02:23 |
hackulator | has anyone else had problems getting their mic to work in ubuntu? It "works", but I cannot get it to record anything above a barely audibly whisper, and yes I have adjusted the normal volume/sound settings | 02:23 |
nmvictor | bruce89: Dr_Willis: thanks | 02:23 |
MsMaco | Um_cara_qualquer: you want to run the installer...from an already installed system? | 02:23 |
EagleScreen | thanks | 02:23 |
Um_cara_qualquer | sorry about my english :P | 02:23 |
Ben64 | hackulator: you sure it's in "microphone" not "line-in" ? | 02:23 |
Um_cara_qualquer | let me explain beter | 02:23 |
mdg | Um_cara_qualquer: if you mean from live cd - click the installer icon on the desktop - there is no command line install option, except for ubuntu alternate install | 02:23 |
superjoel | MsMaco, The thing is that there are spaces in the values that screws up my attempts on making an array | 02:23 |
MsMaco | Um_cara_qualquer: its not the english...its the "doesnt sound possible" | 02:23 |
tommy_ | ok guys I give up for now, I'm gonna try they folks over at #ubuntu-x some other time when people are actually on there | 02:23 |
tommy_ | thanks for all your help though! | 02:23 |
y2kkmac | Does anyone here have experience using ubuntu on a powerpc mac? | 02:23 |
wildnfree | hackulator: Yes - same here. All bugs I found listed had been ignored | 02:23 |
d1gital | MsMaco: ps -ef | grep pulse gives tons of info.. ps -A | grep pulse shows 2 pulseaudio processes. | 02:24 |
Um_cara_qualquer | heh yeah yeah, but wait: | 02:24 |
Dr_Willis | y2kkmac: on my old imac-dv yes.. and the experience was 'bad' :) | 02:24 |
mdg | y2kkmac: I do! | 02:24 |
Dr_Willis | y2kkmac: that imac is now a doorstop.. :) | 02:24 |
MsMaco | d1gital: one of em is like : maco 3536 1 0 12:07 ? 00:00:16 /usr/bin/pulseaudio --start --log-target=syslog | 02:24 |
MsMaco | d1gital: with your username and different pid? | 02:24 |
y2kkmac | :( | 02:24 |
hackulator | Ben64: I am relatively sure, and just i case I adjusted the line-in settings as well without and effect | 02:24 |
wildnfree | hackulator: which Ubuntu are you using | 02:24 |
mdg | y2kkmac: My G4 imac runs fine | 02:24 |
y2kkmac | Dr_Willis: what about getting it to work from an external hard drive (firewire)? | 02:24 |
Um_cara_qualquer | i have the ubuntu on a cd... and i'm running linux mint here... i want to install ubuntu... but when i click on the cd icon... it opens instead start the installer | 02:24 |
hackulator | wildnfree: 9.04 32 bit | 02:24 |
Ben64 | hackulator: but using a mic on a line-in can do that | 02:24 |
MsMaco | Um_cara_qualquer: boot from the cd | 02:25 |
wildnfree | hackulator: I'm 9.04 64bit | 02:25 |
Um_cara_qualquer | how? | 02:25 |
bruce89 | !booy | 02:25 |
ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about booy | 02:25 |
bruce89 | !boot | 02:25 |
ubottu | Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto | 02:25 |
MsMaco | Um_cara_qualquer: put it in the drive and reboot | 02:25 |
Ben64 | because mics and mic jacks are usually mono, while line-in is stereo. try plugging it into a different port | 02:25 |
d1gital | MsMaco: mike 3696 1 0 Aug07 ? 00:25:23 /usr/bin/pulseaudio --start | 02:25 |
mdg | Um_cara_qualquer: you have to boot the cd | 02:25 |
Um_cara_qualquer | o_O could be that obvious? | 02:25 |
y2kkmac | mdg: I'm using a 320 gig firewire drive installed from a powermac g5 and it works fine on every powerpc except for my imac g5 | 02:25 |
MsMaco | d1gital: ok yay | 02:25 |
MsMaco | Um_cara_qualquer: you may have to do the "press F2 for setup" thing to tell it to use the CD drive...but yeah | 02:25 |
hackulator | Ben64: I am relatively sure because of the big picture of the microphone next to the port I have it plugged in to....also, it always worked fine from there when I was using windows | 02:25 |
Ben64 | hackulator: oh | 02:26 |
mdg | y2kkmac: do you have more than one firewire port ? | 02:26 |
Um_cara_qualquer | haha | 02:26 |
Um_cara_qualquer | thx | 02:26 |
Um_cara_qualquer | :P | 02:26 |
y2kkmac | mdg: I have two | 02:26 |
mdg | Um_cara_qualquer: your welcome :) | 02:26 |
mdg | y2kkmac: did you try them both? | 02:26 |
Ben64 | hackulator: you adjust recording volume and recording source? | 02:26 |
funkja | I have a laptop with a docking station and 2 external monitors. I have an intel based graphics card and am running the intel-pga driver. If the System->Prefs->Display won't make it work right, what should I use to hack it to work? Can I make the changes in my xorg and tell HAL to not do anything? Or is the better way to manually configure HAL in some way? | 02:26 |
y2kkmac | no, I did not, good idea | 02:26 |
hackulator | Ben64: yes | 02:26 |
mdg | y2kkmac: plus do you clear pram first | 02:26 |
Ben64 | hackulator: volume control -> File -> Change Device -> Capture | 02:27 |
Ben64 | hackulator: right? | 02:27 |
Dr_Willis | funkja: theres also the special keys on the laptop to toggle external displays you may want to try | 02:27 |
wildnfree | Ben64: I tried the mic port and it provides sound to my speakers but won't record regardless of which sound server I use. | 02:27 |
MsMaco | funkja: with 9.04 my attempts at a secondary screen with desktop spread across on an intel graphics card were not possible due to limitations of the driver. in 9.10 it works | 02:27 |
y2kkmac | mdg: that's the shut down, plug in the cable and press the power button at the same time, right? | 02:27 |
d1gital | MsMaco:... what does this mean? | 02:27 |
MsMaco | funkja: cloning the display is possible, but not using both to show different things | 02:27 |
mdg | y2kkmac: no | 02:27 |
funkja | MsMaco: is there a way to use the updated driver in 9.04? | 02:28 |
MsMaco | d1gital: it means pulseaudio is running. if you try "paplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav" does it do anything? | 02:28 |
nmvictor | bruce89: ok i just need the file on which i can revert vlcs interface to default from skin | 02:28 |
y2kkmac | mdg: what is it? | 02:28 |
Hilikus | i updated my kernel today to 2.6.28-15 and my nvidia restricted driver stopped working | 02:28 |
MsMaco | funkja: its more than just the X stuff thats updated...its the kernel modesetting stuff too | 02:28 |
d1gital | MsMaco: it works. | 02:28 |
bruce89 | nmvictor: I'd have thought something in home would be where that is set | 02:28 |
Hilikus | anyone else have had this happen? | 02:28 |
hackulator | Ben64: not sure which menu you mean there is no "file" on my volume control panel | 02:28 |
MsMaco | d1gital: ok then pulseaudio's ok | 02:28 |
funkja | MsMaco: Right. | 02:28 |
bruce89 | nmvictor: something like ~/.vlc or whatever | 02:29 |
mdg | y2kkmac: was looking to verify - you hold down the Ctrl + Alt + R I think and it makes that chime | 02:29 |
Ben64 | hackulator: double click the volume icon on the panel | 02:29 |
MsMaco | funkja: maybe try 9.10 from livecd and see if that works for you? | 02:29 |
Dr_Willis | nmvictor: user settings are in some .vlc dur in the users home dir. NOT system wide settings | 02:29 |
y2kkmac | mdg: okay, I'll try that | 02:29 |
funkja | MsMaco: Okay | 02:29 |
mdg | y2kkmac: let it do the chime 2 or 3 times before you continue on | 02:29 |
funkja | MsMaco: Isn't it still in beta? | 02:29 |
wookienz | when i hot swap the drives on my raid card i am seeing the dmesg report that the link is up. Im not seeing the drive appear under fdik -l. Any ideas? | 02:29 |
MsMaco | funkja: alpha 4 | 02:29 |
MsMaco | funkja: note im onlysaying to try the live cd. | 02:29 |
evilbug | recommend a good command line web browser please. | 02:30 |
oli1 | lynx | 02:30 |
bruce89 | w3m | 02:30 |
MsMaco | funkja: i have made no recommendations about installing. though it seems fairly stable to me. but then ive been using since alpha 1 and usually run alpha versions of ubuntu, so im used to it | 02:30 |
hackulator | NBen64: I click the volume icon and then the "volume control" button, double clikcing my volume icon just mutes the sound | 02:30 |
Dr_Willis | evilbug: if you search the package manaer.. theres only like 3 or 4 of them. :) | 02:30 |
nmvictor | Dr_Willis: so where exactly can i have innterface settings changed?and thanks bruce89 | 02:30 |
dtcrshr | how di i refresh my wireless connection via command line? | 02:30 |
Dr_Willis | nmvictor: I got a .vlc dir and a 'skins' dir in .vlc | 02:30 |
mdg | y2kkmac: its command, option , P and R keys = hold down all at the same time | 02:30 |
evilbug | Dr_Willis: i was looking through them but wasn't sure which would be better. | 02:31 |
wookienz | dtcrshr: iwconfig then wloan0 up or down. | 02:31 |
funkja | MsMaco: Okay | 02:31 |
wookienz | wlan0 | 02:31 |
funkja | MsMaco: Thanks. | 02:31 |
Dr_Willis | nmvictor: theres also a .config/vlc it seems with setting files. :) | 02:31 |
Cosmic_Karma | how do i stop firefox from turning all gray?, is it firefox issue or ubuntu issue? | 02:31 |
nmvictor | Dr_Willis: path to .vlc directory coz i have quite a number of them | 02:31 |
Dr_Willis | nmvictor: locate vlc | less let me find those... | 02:31 |
wookienz | Cosmic_Karma: ubunutu | 02:31 |
Dr_Willis | nmvictor: i have a .vlc dir in the users home dir..... | 02:31 |
edbian | nmvictor: That is what a program does when it is non-responsive. All programs have the ability to turn grey | 02:31 |
Dr_Willis | nmvictor: i also have a vlc dir in the users .config/vlc dir | 02:31 |
d1gital | is it possible to run gnome and kde simultaneously... not because i want to/it would be useful.. but because i think I just did. | 02:31 |
edbian | d1gital: It is not possible | 02:32 |
Cosmic_Karma | wookienz, how do i turn it off? | 02:32 |
hackulator | Ben64: I click the volume icon and then the "volume control" button, double clicking my volume icon just mutes the sound | 02:32 |
Dr_Willis | nmvictor: looks to me like thers a .config/vlc/vlcrc and vlc-qt-interface.conf file | 02:32 |
edbian | d1gital: gnome and kde are both desktop environments. | 02:32 |
wookienz | you cant, i think it is ubuntu saying - wait a sec im busy. | 02:32 |
dtcrshr | thanks wonderful | 02:32 |
wildnfree | Cosmic_Karma: What are you doing when firefox turns grey? It will turn grey with some videos whilst waiting for the download to work. | 02:32 |
dtcrshr | wookienz: | 02:32 |
funkja | !alpha | 02:32 |
ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about alpha | 02:32 |
jrib | edbian: should be able to, no? | 02:32 |
Dr_Willis | d1gital: if youa re not carefull you can accidently run nautilus while in kde.. and have the gnome 'desktop' running on top of the kde 'desktop' and get some confuseing things going on. | 02:32 |
d1gital | edbian: i have a kde background, and a kde panel at the bottom, but metacity is still on my windows and i have a gnome-panel at the top. | 02:33 |
Dr_Willis | d1gital: nautilus also has a option to NOT take over the 'desktop' | 02:33 |
nmvictor | Dr_Willis: thanks, let me check and get back. edbian: i dont get you | 02:33 |
tuxforce_ | i guy | 02:33 |
jrib | edbian: though what d1gital just said is different than what I had in mind... | 02:33 |
Hilikus | how can i reinstall the nvidia driver? | 02:33 |
jrib | Hilikus: /why/? | 02:33 |
Dr_Willis | Running nautilus in kde, or konqueror in gnome can be 'confuseing' :) | 02:33 |
edbian | d1gital: Well I suppose it you can run programs from both at the same time... | 02:33 |
y2kkmac | mdg: and then, do I just hold down option to choose the startup disk? | 02:33 |
edbian | d1gital: It's sort of a grey area. What is "gnome" | 02:33 |
dtcrshr | wookienz: and how do i force the refresh on the network admin? via gui? | 02:34 |
superjoel | At the end of this sed -n 's|<screen_name>\(.*\)</screen_name>|\1|p' I would like to add an new line.. but just adding \n at the end just makes it freak out.. please help :) | 02:34 |
d1gital | edbian: i gu | 02:34 |
Hilikus | jrib: it is not working after today's upgrade to 2.6.28-15 | 02:34 |
mdg | y2kkmac: I never booted from firewaire , but I would guess so... | 02:34 |
Cosmic_Karma | im tryin to do like 5 things at once, but earlier i just had multiple instances open and fell asleep | 02:34 |
edbian | d1gital: ? | 02:34 |
jrib | Hilikus: "not working"? | 02:34 |
d1gital | edbian: i guess it's more of a theory question then. all i did wa run plasma from within a gnome terminal | 02:34 |
zvacet | d1gital : http://psychocats.s465.sureserver.com/ubuntu/kde | 02:34 |
Hilikus | jrib: yes. it doesnt load. ubuntu reports that it couldnt load the module on bootup and i have to start in lowres mode | 02:34 |
wookienz | dtcrshr: my limit of knowlege is via command line taking the conection up adn down using "iwconfig wlan0 down" | 02:34 |
Cosmic_Karma | WHEN I GOT UP NO SCREEN SAVER AND IT WAS GOING GRAY AND THEN BACK WITHOUT ANY THING | 02:34 |
Cosmic_Karma | soory | 02:34 |
oshua86 | guys when i try to play a DVD in ubuntu 9.04 it comes out all scramble. why is this happening? | 02:35 |
jrib | Hilikus: thought dkms was supposed to handle all that... how did you install it? | 02:35 |
edbian | d1gital: I guess that's as close as you're going to get to running both at once lol. Look here to learn about all of the different components: http://xwinman.org/ | 02:35 |
dtcrshr | it didnt worked, i got this: | 02:35 |
jrib | !dvd > oshua86 | 02:35 |
ubottu | oshua86, please see my private message | 02:35 |
Hilikus | jrib: the driver? i don't know, i've been using it for a while. i don't remember. but it was probably the standard way. i didn't manually install it or anything | 02:35 |
mdg | oshua86: make sure you have libdvdcss instaslled | 02:35 |
mdg | instaslled/installed | 02:35 |
dtcrshr | iwconfig: unknown command "down" | 02:35 |

jrib | Hilikus: system -> administration -> hardware drivers let you remove and reinstall the driver? | 02:35 |
kermit | weird my window manager dissapeared | 02:36 |
wildnfree | Cosmic_Karma: It will be a page you were viewing. | 02:36 |
mdg | kermit: what were you using? | 02:36 |
mdg | hi Lunixed ! | 02:37 |
Lunixed | hi mdg | 02:37 |
wildnfree | Cosmic_Karma: Kill all your open pages, and start up firefox clean. | 02:37 |
Hilikus | jrib: "no proprietary drivers are in use in this system". i have 2 items in the list for nvidia but when i try to activate it it just doesn't do anything noticeable after i type my password. i already restarted and same thing | 02:37 |
Lunixed | It was solved by just reinstalling gdm :) | 02:37 |
Cosmic_Karma | what is the setting called in ubuntu to turn it off though, only did it since i ran all hardy updates | 02:37 |
nmvictor | Dr_Willis: thanks, found a file vlcrc in .config/vlc that might help. now i need to change interface from skin to something.could you please confirm with your ./config/vlc/vlcrc with grep. i need to edit the line intf=skin2 | 02:37 |
kermit | mdg: it must have happened when i ran compiz | 02:37 |
kermit | mdg: i was using gnome | 02:37 |
mdg | Lunixed: thats good news | 02:37 |
Lunixed | edbian aolved it :) | 02:37 |
Lunixed | yeah :) | 02:37 |

wookienz | deivces | 02:38 |
edbian | Thanks! | 02:38 |
edbian | :) | 02:38 |
Hilikus | jrib: both say this driver is not activated | 02:38 |
jrib | Hilikus: purge the appropriate nvidia-glx* package in synaptic I guess. | 02:38 |
mdg | kermit: are you all cli right now? | 02:38 |
jrib | Hilikus: what version of ubuntu? | 02:38 |
Hilikus | jrib: jaunty | 02:38 |
kermit | mdg: no no, i just mean my windows have no borders or anything to drag around or resive them with | 02:38 |
edbian | kermit: "metacity --replace&" | 02:38 |
kermit | my iwlagn is buggy, it often seems to lock up until i put my laptop on standby then back on | 02:38 |
kermit | edbian: thanks! | 02:38 |
edbian | kermit: NP | 02:39 |
Cosmic_Karma | wildnfree, do u what is the setting called in ubuntu to turn it off though, only did it since i ran all hardy updates, i tried that before and it still does it | 02:39 |
edbian | kermit: If it worked then they should return normally after you reboot | 02:39 |
mdg | what option turns off the borders like that? | 02:39 |
dtcrshr | wookienz: i got an atheros ar242x | 02:39 |
wildnfree | Cosmic_Karma: What do you mean by "turn it off"? The grey screen just means it is waiting for something. | 02:40 |
y2kkmac | mdg: still hasn't worked | 02:40 |
wookienz | yeah but what does you wireless connection looklike? wlan0? wlan1? ie like eth0 eth1 | 02:40 |
dtcrshr | wookienz: wlan0 | 02:40 |
wookienz | ok well as far as i know iwconfig should work, it may be a sep package... try ifconfig wlan0 down | 02:40 |
mdg | y2kkmac: you did say it was a PPC and you were trying to run PPC Ubuntu from the other drive right? | 02:40 |
kermit | edbian: hmm it seems i cant get metacity running with compiz now.. before either both were running, or compiz at least had window management | 02:41 |
y2kkmac | mdg: yes. I get to the first stage ubuntu bootstrap, and then it spits me back to the startup disk chooser | 02:41 |
Hilikus | jrib: ok i removed them. should i reboot before reinstalling? | 02:41 |
wookienz | dtcrshr: iwconfig by itself will shwo all the wireless connectiond | 02:41 |
edbian | kermit: compiz should be calling metacity | 02:41 |
mdg | y2kkmac: ... doing research... hold on... | 02:41 |
edbian | kermit: They can run both at once | 02:41 |
y2kkmac | sure | 02:41 |
edbian | kermit: Do you have ccsm installed? | 02:41 |
jrib | Hilikus: nope | 02:41 |
kermit | i'm just runnig compiz at the command line, is there another way to start it or with options? i sware that worked before though | 02:42 |
kermit | edbian: a what? | 02:42 |
dtcrshr | on iwconfig i got lo, eth0 and wlan0 | 02:42 |

Hilikus | jrib: so i just reinstall the same packages i removed or there's another way to install the restricted driver? | 02:42 |
kermit | edbian: yes | 02:42 |
dtcrshr | on wlan0 it sais ieee 802.11g, essid: off/any/ mode:managed | 02:42 |
wildnfree | Cosmic_Karma: It is related to something you have been browsing which is doing some heavy file transfer over the internet and is waiting for a response. You could try upgrading to another version of firefox. | 02:42 |
edbian | kermit: Look at the "window borders" plugin | 02:42 |
jrib | Hilikus: use Hardware Drivers | 02:42 |
mdg | y2kkmac: from what I'm seeing, hold the option key and if there is a bootable partition it should show up | 02:42 |
Cosmic_Karma | wildnfree, wookienz said it was a ubunut setting and it never did it until recent updates,i'm sure theres gotta be a way to trun it off right, just very annoying | 02:43 |
shovon | my wireless adapter can see my network, but can't connect, did anyone have this problem before? | 02:43 |
kermit | edbian: i dont see that plugin | 02:43 |

Guest87595 | i'm trying to install ednet to my computer for use in my class but when i put in the command line i keep getting error no such file or directory | 02:54 |
a94060 | FloridaGuy, yes,id reccomend it. Because code is still executing in windows environment | 02:54 |
drcheezenstein | I think it might be the bios when I checked it there was no option for the hard drive at all | 02:54 |
FloridaGuy | a94060, ok thanks | 02:54 |
mdg | FloridaGuy: you got windows XP running in vbox? | 02:54 |

a94060 | ohh ok dsdeiz ,intresting http://oreillynet.com/linux/cmd/cmd.csp?path=d/du | 02:56 |
drcheezenstein | I think the problem is that the bios isnt recongizing the hard drive but the cd lets it boot up | 02:56 |
prince_jammys | dsdeiz: so, yeah -sh | 02:56 |
MsMaco | wildnfree: by the way, karmic stuff *should* be in #ubuntu+1 so if you see people asking about it, send 'em there | 02:56 |

a94060 | drcheezenstein, usually when you go into bios, it will list the hard drives. Check if your hard drive is detected. If it is,that means something is wrong with bootloader | 02:58 |

a94060 | drcheezenstein: im trying to think what else is could be... | 03:02 |
MsMaco | sn0n: you said your spell check was not matching what you set as your location in installer and that you thought it was a bug. so i was saying to report it | 03:02 |
sn0n | MsMaco, i was asking if someone else can confirm before i do. | 03:03 |
Dr_Willis | spo: thats not really a normal screen thing. thats somthing ubuntu added. ubuntu wiki page on screen dont say.. may want to chedk the forums. Ill look into it tonight at work also. The screen wiki page is very out of date. | 03:03 |

majuk | drcheezenstein: Dude, if the hard drive boots when you select it in the LiveCD and NOT when you boot normally, it's GOT to be a BIOS problem. | 03:04 |

majuk | drcheezenstein: Blah, no, that's wrong, could still be a bad GRUB install. | 03:05 |
drcheezenstein | majuk: I agree with you its a bios problem | 03:05 |
a94060 | i agree with majuk ,there is nothing else. The hard drive is obvioulsy being detected | 03:05 |

drcheezenstein | majuk: well this installation cd has worked on all my other computers | 03:05 |
majuk | :) | 03:05 |
majuk | drcheezenstein: Then it's probably BIOS. Get in there and find the boot order | 03:06 |

drcheezenstein | majuk: there was no non usb hardrive optin in the boot order unfortuantely | 03:06 |

nmvictor | drcheezenstein: how about upgrading Bios if you feel thats the problem though giving the exact message displayed on the screen when you boot without the CD will give us the proper playfield | 03:08 |
drcheezenstein | a94060: after that it just said No operating system found | 03:08 |
a94060 | i know its a windows site,but look at the cause. the hard drive isnt corrupt,so it has to be mbr damaged | 03:08 |

newser | a94060, someone told me that it could be possible to use a program that would be checking an email account constantly and with a message it would email back the IP to a programmed email address. Do you think is it possible? | 03:18 |

sn0n | obicke, sure there is.. .Chromium works.. Empiphany ? | 03:19 |
a94060 | yess i agree with IdleOne ,its hard to find your name | 03:19 |
drcheezenstein | nmvictor: when you perform an distribution upgrade does it fix your grub by any chance? | 03:19 |
ldlework | IdleOne, never! | 03:19 |
obicke | sn0n: right... but I need to test webdev in FF | 03:19 |
a94060 | newser: Im not sure of such a thing, but if you are looking for something like a static ip, a hostname would help more | 03:19 |
sn0n | obicke, use Empiphany ;-) | 03:19 |
obicke | sn0n: thanks | 03:20 |

nmvictor | drcheezenstein: cant really tell.but why not upgrade grub in an attempt to fix it if thats what you want the dist upgrade to do?any problem with the instructions? | 03:21 |
majuk | ldlework: Well that's the wrong command. mkfs.fat32 | 03:21 |
newser | a94060, ok, well the thing is that I just want to access my home pc from somewhere else. Such computer connects via wireless, so I know it is hard to set it up. I have no knowledge on networking, so I just need to know if I can make it somehow | 03:21 |

swapy | guys by default does ubuntu have a partition editor i didnt get it | 03:25 |
IdleOne | swapy, gparted | 03:25 |
majuk | swapy: fdisk is the CLI partition editor | 03:25 |
IdleOne | swapy, it will appear as partition editor in the menu | 03:25 |

IdleOne | swapy, sudo apt-get gparted | 03:26 |
majuk | :P | 03:26 |

swapy | ohh | 03:26 |
C-S-B | its only included on the boot disc | 03:26 |
swapy | thanks | 03:26 |
Stupendoussteve | fdisk is better, gparted is easier | 03:26 |
IdleOne | swapy, sudo apt-get install gparted | 03:26 |
nmvictor | swapy: Gparted, only available in the install CD.you can install it by typing sudo apt-get install gparted | 03:26 |

Jkessler | how do i add directories for index with the locate command? | 03:27 |
a94060 | hello,sorry for the disconnect | 03:27 |
ldlework | majuk, any idea what the option for "unformatted" partition is? | 03:27 |
ldlework | If that makes any sense | 03:27 |
tammie | Jkessler: all directories are included by default, but the locate database is only updated daily. To force an update of the db use 'sudo updatedb' | 03:28 |
Hilikus | i have my top gnome panel on my right screen and my bottom gnome panel (taskbar) on the left. how do i move the top one to the left screen? | 03:28 |
majuk | ldlework: lol, I don't really understand what you're talking about. You mean you want to blank the disc? | 03:28 |
Jkessler | tammie: i built a fileserver for a company and they have one drive for the system, one for their data and one for a daily rsync backup, just in case | 03:28 |
ldlework | majuk, I believe so =x | 03:28 |
Jkessler | locate doesn't search the data or backup drives | 03:28 |
ldlework | "make a new primary partition of type "unformatted"" | 03:29 |
majuk | ldlework: Not really sure. | 03:29 |
edbian | locate literally searches files | 03:29 |
majuk | ldlework: Why do you want it unformatted? I don't get it. | 03:29 |
ldlework | because some other tool is going to chop it up | 03:29 |
a94060 | ldlework: just use dban on it | 03:29 |
tammie | Jkessler: if they are mounted when the database is updated they should be included | 03:29 |
Jkessler | i did a sudo updatedb | 03:30 |
Jkessler | no luck | 03:30 |
Jkessler | this computer runs 24/7 and is only rebooted if an update decides it needs a reboot | 03:30 |
a94060 | sorry | 03:30 |
newser | is there any free service for remote desktop control? | 03:30 |
majuk | ldlework: Well you can clean it with dban, but if something else is going to partition it and what not, there's really no need. | 03:30 |
a94060 | newser: vnc...if you are on windows terminalservices | 03:31 |
C-S-B | newser: vnc | 03:31 |

newser | is it only terminal based? | 03:31 |

cellofellow | alexnet: means that sudo enforces certain rules on the /etc/sudoers file which aren't met. How do fix that I don't know, as you need to use sudo to fix it. | 03:32 |
paissad-hp | i did this -- > gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv 94C09C7F | 03:33 |
paissad-hp | but this does not work | 03:33 |

cellofellow | alexnet: you can try sudo chmod 0400 /etc/sudoers | 03:33 |
paissad-hp | how can i solve that, thanks in advance | 03:33 |
edbian | alexnet: STOP!!! | 03:33 |
nmvictor | alexnet: filepermission for the sudoers file, are you in live CD? | 03:33 |
edbian | alexnet: are you using visudo -f /etc/sudoers? | 03:33 |
alexnet | I ran a sudo chmod statement that was followed by a *, did i accidentally change the permissions for my entire computer including the chmod command itself? | 03:33 |
majuk | edbian: fdisk for partitioning in the CLI. Or parted, if you're awful at life. | 03:33 |
Michael | I believe you have to log out and know how to logon to your sudo username of which i do not know how to do yet | 03:33 |
edbian | majuk: I'm pretty good at life | 03:34 |
Michael | I am just starting a cisco academy program in Anchorage AK | 03:34 |
majuk | edbian: Then you'll be an fdisk man! | 03:34 |
a94060 | alexnet,what was the exact command? | 03:34 |
drcheezenstein | nmvictor: hey will it fix grub even though im doing it through update manager? | 03:34 |
majuk | edbian: You create the partition with fdisk, then format it with mkfs | 03:34 |
alexnet | It was sudo chmod -R u+xw /* | 03:34 |
alexnet | wait.. there was no Slash in teh original command | 03:35 |
a94060 | alexnet, yea you are done | 03:35 |
alexnet | lol I see | 03:35 |
a94060 | ohh okat,then what directory were u in when u ran that? | 03:35 |
alexnet | :( | 03:35 |
edbian | majuk: So if I want 1 big ext3 partition: sudo fdisk /dev/sda ??? | 03:35 |
nmvictor | drcheezenstein: whichever way you choose to upgrade,an upgrade is an upgrade.just pray more and doubt less. | 03:35 |
Jyxt | alexnet: with just the * you only did the dir where you were | 03:35 |
edbian | majuk: Is fdisk menu driven? | 03:35 |
alexnet | What about with /*? | 03:35 |
majuk | edbian: Yup. | 03:35 |
Jyxt | if you were in / then yes you changed all permissions...butif you were in /home you did only /home/* | 03:35 |
a94060 | alexnet: that would have been the whole system | 03:35 |
majuk | edbian: 'm' will display the options. | 03:35 |

MsMaco | swapy: or if you use kubuntu, theyre called plasmoids | 03:36 |
drcheezenstein | nmvictor: thanks bud I appreciate the help | 03:36 |

nmvictor | drcheezenstein: anytime buddy | 03:36 |
alexnet | nmvictor, i dont know what that means... im not running off of a CD, i installed it. (does that answer?) | 03:36 |
a94060 | drcheezenstein: did u fix your problem with the booting? | 03:37 |
swapy | thanks | 03:37 |
nmvictor | alexnet: yea,so where exactly is the problem? | 03:37 |
swapy | installing | 03:37 |
drcheezenstein | a94060; not sure yet waiting for this upgrade to finish to find out | 03:37 |
a94060 | ahh alright drcheezenstein | 03:37 |
alexnet | Well I guess my problem is sudo: /etc/sudoers is mode 0740, should be 0440 assuming the whole rest of the box isnt crashing in burning as well | 03:38 |
alexnet | Because I think that error may be inidicative of some deep system damage i've caused.. thought i hope not | 03:38 |
drcheezenstein | will be back to let you guys know Im going to exit pidgin to see if it helps speed things up | 03:38 |
OBiiT | hey, im new to ubuntu and just wanted to ask, what PDF readr are ppl using? Ive been trying xpdf and the original one ("Document viewer").. and neither are good.. was looking online and some ppl talked about some kpdf but i dont get how to install it, it says its included in kde but then.. | 03:38 |
edbian | OBiiT: I just use "Document viewer" cause I have so few pdf's. You can get kpdf from the repos. You don't need KDE to run it. "sudo apt-get install kpdf" | 03:39 |
aivan | can anyone help me with resetting my video card drivers? | 03:39 |
a94060 | alexnet: you wont realize the damage right now of permissions. The default ones are usually set on each file,you have generalized them now to whatever value you selected | 03:39 |
a94060 | anyone know of some good eee linux support places? | 03:40 |
aivan | i just tried to install ati catalyst and now my display is all messed up | 03:40 |

swapy | guys i want a http file tranfser software like hfs this one http://www.rejetto.com/hfs/ i want to share files on lan so please suggest one | 03:40 |
bucky | alexnet: maybe you should make a new distro that have world wide write and read on /etc | 03:40 |
alexnet | a94060, are you suggesting that I go ahead and reformat? | 03:40 |
aivan | anyway to reset the drivers? | 03:40 |
a94060 | alexnet: well,it depends what you have. Im not sure actually. If you can afford to start from scratch,why not =] | 03:41 |
jbob_ | alexnet: you can boot into recovery mode an fix the permissions for the /etc/sudoers file but all the other wrong permissions may cause strange errors and/or security holes | 03:41 |
OBiiT | it says Package kpdf is not available, but is referred to by another package. | 03:41 |

alexnet | Well here's the thing.. this box sits in my basement and runs tools for a small dev team... all of whom have their access restricted by ssl and iptables allowing only their specific IPs... so I'm okay with the OS-related security holes remaining until something else justifies a reformat... the question is can i get basic functionality back? All of the private tool websites hosted | 03:45 |

tuxwulf | Xerran: Well, if you're not the experimenting kind of person I'd recommend go with what you know. | 03:57 |
a94060 | is there anyway i can use the xp bootloader to decide between xp and linux? | 03:57 |
Firefishe | What log do the system bootup messages exist in? | 03:57 |
nmvictor | ubottu| | 03:57 |
bucky | swapy: if that doesn't work out then you can do it the linux way... but you have enough network savy to set up your nic to a static addy that's not reserved for dhcp by your dsl modem and don't use webmin http://www.howtoforge.com/setting-up-subversion-with-webdav-post-commit-hook-and-multiple-sites-on-jaunty-jackalope-ubuntu-9.04 | 03:57 |
gogeta | tuxwulf: thers a way so it only does the data blocks to | 03:57 |
di||itante | Firefishe: dmsg | 03:57 |
a94060 | Firefishe: use the dmesg command i think | 03:57 |
nmvictor | ubottu? | 03:58 |
tuxwulf | a94060: Yes, you can do that, but only if your linux is installed on a Win partition | 03:58 |
gogeta | tuxwulf: so your image isnt as big as the drive | 03:58 |
boss_mc | swapy: locate does the job, only faster :-) | 03:58 |
nmvictor | ubottu! | 03:58 |
IdleOne | nmvictor, ubottu is a bot | 03:58 |
tuxwulf | gogeta: Yes... there are many more ways to do this, but I figure, lete's keep it simple... | 03:58 |
a94060 | i was reading about a method where i could use dd to copy the bootloader? | 03:58 |
di||itante | a94060: yes | 03:58 |
a94060 | i want to do it because i have the windows drive encrypted | 03:58 |
swapy | boss_mc, thanks | 03:58 |
boss_mc | s'ok | 03:58 |
gogeta | a94060: dd copys everything | 03:59 |
nmvictor | IdleOne: i know | 03:59 |
di||itante | a94060: more specifically the MBR | 03:59 |
a94060 | well,at least the mbr i meant | 03:59 |
IdleOne | nmvictor, well then why are you spamming | 03:59 |
a94060 | so i would install grub to the partition | 03:59 |
gogeta | a94060: but i typo can be bad be very carefull | 03:59 |
a94060 | and then dd it into a file? | 04:00 |
gogeta | 1 | 04:00 |
a94060 | *the mbr | 04:00 |
gogeta | you dd into a image | 04:00 |
Ben64 | can't you just set it up to boot linux from within windows? | 04:00 |
Xerran | tuxwulf: thx | 04:00 |
Ben64 | like sysinfo32 i think | 04:00 |
a94060 | well,i want it seperatly =] | 04:00 |
swapy | what is use of tomboy notes? | 04:00 |
nmvictor | IdleOne: wanted to get the msg you gave me to someone, cant remember the command.trying out ain't spamming, is it? | 04:00 |
tuxwulf | Xerran: np, have fun | 04:00 |
poent_ | if i'm getting some minor lag when opening windows and applications do you think it could be the video driver? | 04:00 |
gogeta | then you can just dd the mbr | 04:00 |
giiker | a94060: you can, just have to know the exact HEX addresses | 04:00 |
edbian | swapy: They're just virtual sticky notes. | 04:00 |
Stupendoussteve | Ben64: No, linux does not use the ntloader that windows uses | 04:00 |
IdleOne | nmvictor, use /msg ubottu test to try it out | 04:00 |
Xerran | tuxwulf: i have been experimenting with clonezilla but I am unsure on the restore | 04:00 |
a94060 | hex address? | 04:00 |
Ben64 | Stupendoussteve: pretty sure there's a way to do it | 04:01 |
gogeta | as i said use with care | 04:01 |
edbian | poent_: Wrong channel bud | 04:01 |
Xerran | brb | 04:01 |

gogeta | a94060: its happond to people | 04:01 |
a94060 | well,how big is grub bootloader? | 04:01 |
pburleson | like the ./configure and make commands used? | 04:01 |
a94060 | how many kb | 04:01 |
edbian | a94060: So large that it doesn't fit in the MBR (which really isn't that big at all) | 04:02 |
swapy | thanks | 04:02 |
di||itante | a94060: the first 512 b of the drive | 04:02 |
a94060 | alright,thank you | 04:02 |
a94060 | so if i copy that 512b into a file | 04:02 |
Stupendoussteve | Ben64: NTLDR can load a linux bootloader, but it is not simple to configure | 04:02 |
a94060 | and add it as an entry, i am done then | 04:02 |
nmvictor | IdleOne: thanks message long overdue, and your name,are you also a bot?why IdleOne? | 04:02 |

a94060 | its all good, di||itante answered it perfectly,thats what im lookng for | 04:03 |
giiker | a94060: to copy into n image file type this: | 04:04 |
gogeta | Ben64: yea it uses grub4dos and uses the boot.ini to start it | 04:04 |

gogeta | losher: 1 typo and boom | 04:07 |
IdleOne | gogeta, that's not a typo | 04:08 |
Ghoti_ | losher: dd is powerful, but sudo dd can nuke a hard drive if you're not careful. Kinda like rm. | 04:08 |
gogeta | losher: your refomating | 04:08 |
Poent | nice bucky | 04:08 |
Poent | :-P | 04:08 |
MsMaco | i use it to nuke hard drives... | 04:08 |
di||itante | kermit: cat requires more resources and dd is more flexible | 04:08 |
icarus-c | dd can be bad if you want to clone a partition and you use UUID to identify the partition | 04:08 |
bucky | delaman: if your host and server are no behind the same modem you have to port forward... try connecting with telnet and read through this thread http://forums.mysql.com/read.php?132,190869,190869 | 04:08 |

IdleOne | gogeta, never mind me :| | 04:08 |
bucky | delaman: you need to port forward on the remote end | 04:09 |
Ghoti_ | delaman: the mysql server needs the port forwarded to the computer running the server | 04:09 |
Ben64 | dd can be used to test cpus :) "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null" <-- nobody try that unless you want 100% cpu usage | 04:09 |
losher | I suppose, but then, all the filesystem commands are pretty unforgiving... | 04:09 |
icarus-c | Ben64:: why not /dev/random :P | 04:09 |
Ben64 | icarus-c: not enough random data in there | 04:10 |
icarus-c | aha | 04:10 |
Ben64 | takes forever to build up entropy | 04:10 |
Jyxt | entropy takes forever to build and it goes away very quickly | 04:10 |
Ben64 | urandom would work though | 04:10 |

di||itante | kermit: also, how can you tell cat only to read the first 512b of a file | 04:11 |
icarus-c | aha, linux is just amazing, it is still perfectly functional even with 100% cpu usage | 04:11 |
Ben64 | icarus-c: if you set priority of that to maximum, stuff would be bad though | 04:11 |

Andorin | I just grabbed gtkpod, and I like it so far. How do I set it to where gtkpod opens automatically when I connect my iPod to my PC, instead of Music Player? | 04:12 |

gogeta | rCX: use to copy enitre dirs | 04:14 |
rCX | thx | 04:14 |

WhiteCrow | majuk: see this prosses go to healt in 10 min | 04:30 |
kermit | i think WhiteCrow wants to know what to do with the selection box for grub | 04:30 |
Firefishe | di||itante: Currently, kde 4.3--which I'm using just now--as well as gnome--uses NetworkManager's nm-applet application to connect to the 'net. nm-applet handles encryption well, and my system is encrypted. There are times I want to just use the terminal, so I prefer to use iwconfig at those times. | 04:30 |
nmvictor | majuk: sorry, meant ...doesn't work when im root, thus the rw stuff could be the problem.its a flash disk,LG.dont know what to do, how do i mount it as read and write and how do i mount without a filesystem? | 04:30 |
ctmjr | Firefishe: make sure net-work manager is not loaded at boot | 04:30 |
ImmortalKenny | Is anyone here familiar with Jolicloud? | 04:30 |
giiker | WhiteCrow, is it the panel? | 04:31 |
edbian | nmvictor: You might want to try "fdisk" instead of gparted" | 04:31 |
Firefishe | ctmjr: What file do I annotate to have that not boot up at start time? | 04:31 |
WhiteCrow | giiker: ?? | 04:31 |
pellicon | fdisk is a dangerous cmd | 04:31 |
nmvictor | edbian:what arguments on fdisk, please? | 04:31 |
edbian | nmvictor: fdisk is menu driven | 04:31 |
edbian | nmvictor: to start it "sudo fdisk /dev/<yourFlashDrive>" | 04:32 |
majuk | nmvictor: 'm' to see the options | 04:32 |
ctmjr | Firefishe: are you using gnome and is it loaded now? | 04:32 |
giiker | WhiteCrow: can you elaborate? | 04:32 |
WhiteCrow | giiker: see new my screenshot pls | 04:32 |
edbian | nmvictor: Make absolutely sure that you have the correct /dev/XXX or your will alter the partitions on your hard drive or something | 04:32 |
Firefishe | ctmjr: No, kde 4.3. As far as the system trays in either desktop environment go, to me, nm-applet works identically. | 04:32 |
giiker | nmvictor: make sure you do this right or you might loose data | 04:33 |
WhiteCrow | giiker: pls 2 min wite for upload screenshot | 04:33 |
edbian | nmvictor: I'll do my best to hold your hand. I'm not amazing at fdisk but I think I can do this | 04:33 |
tuxwulf | Anybody know about OpenOffice? | 04:34 |
prince_jammys | drama, suspense, #ubuntu | 04:34 |
edbian | nmvictor: If you're trying to figure out what /dev you should be using just look at "sudo fdisk -l" (which isn't dangerous at all) | 04:34 |
edbian | tuxwulf: Yeah | 04:34 |
edbian | tuxwulf: Just about everybody here | 04:34 |
prince_jammys | tuxwulf: better to just ask about the specific problem you have | 04:34 |
fuzzybunny | hey everyone for some reason whenever I switch songs in Rhythmbox the volume gets really low and then I raise it but if I switch songs it will reset back to the lower level. I have looked at all the volume controls and can't seem to figure out why it keeps resetting. Has anyone else experienced this? | 04:34 |
giiker | WhiteCrow: are you havng problems when booting up? | 04:35 |
tuxwulf | Okay. Pardon me, I never saw anybody about it. In OpenOffice Base, how to show relationships between tables? | 04:35 |
WhiteCrow | yep | 04:35 |
WhiteCrow | this my ver kerenel | 04:35 |
nmvictor | edbian:),i have run that and say /dev/sdc doesnt contain a valid partition table | 04:35 |
edbian | nmvictor: Than that's what we want to edit: "sudo fdisk /dev/sdc" | 04:36 |
giiker | WhiteCrow: you are having problems with grub | 04:36 |

Poent | so i got libdvdcss2 installed but the default video player included with ubuntu still isnt playing the dvd. It's wanting to search for a suitable plugin and can't find it, even with the added repositories. Any ideas? | 04:40 |
Firefishe | drcheezenstein: Are you in gui or command line? | 04:40 |
majuk | drcheezenstein: You probably need to get the new firmware from the Broadcom website. | 04:40 |

Firefishe | oops | 04:40 |
Poent | got that installed too | 04:40 |
Firefishe | drcheezenstein: majuk's correct, the latest drivers are suggested for newer hardware | 04:41 |
WhiteCrow | giiker: hey dude would u like to ssh my sys to Make this | 04:41 |
WhiteCrow | :| | 04:41 |
Firefishe | drcheezenstein: Also, what version of ubuntu? | 04:41 |
Firefishe | You know, isn't there a way to automate the broadcom driver compile-and-install process? On the command line? | 04:42 |
drcheezenstein | firefishe: 8.04 lts or whatever | 04:42 |
ctmjr | Firefishe: i need to figure out what you want to do your on a computer that has network setup but you want to control it thru a console and you cannot is this correct and your using the computer now? | 04:42 |

Xerran | edbian: do you do alternate or regular? | 04:44 |
edbian | typically | 04:44 |
Firefishe | ctmjr: That is correct. I'm on the computer--an Asus G50Vt laptop--now. Right now, I have to log into either kde or gnome, using nm-applet (NetworkManager) to connect through the gui. If I don't login to X, and try to use iwconfig in a terminal, it doesn't seem to work, not even using ifup/ifdown. Judging by what you're telling me, NetworkManager is "mangling" ifup/ifdown when it's installed? | 04:44 |
paris | are binary files that've been installed using apt kept and archived? | 04:44 |
Xerran | I prefer the alternate CD installs of Ubuntu | 04:44 |
giiker | WhiteCrow: i am able to do it but rather not to. | 04:45 |
paris | I'm thinking of moving from 32bit to 64bit but redownloading all the apps is going to be tedious | 04:45 |

xangua | apt-get** | 04:45 |
paris | xangua: oh, yeah. | 04:45 |
majuk | Firefishe: In my experience, you have to start the device with ifconfig *first*, then start the wireless portion with iwconfig | 04:45 |
losher | paris: anything installed via apt is usually kept in /var/cache/apt/archives | 04:45 |
WhiteCrow | giiker: im confounded | 04:46 |
xangua | but they are not the same packages paris, or are they ¿¿¿ | 04:46 |
edbian | xangua: How do you write upside down question marks??!?! | 04:46 |
wildnfree | paris: you can install 32 bit applications on 64 bit by using force-architecture | 04:46 |
prince_jammys | you be pastin some non-ascii | 04:46 |

prince_jammys | Ozzah: have you tried to reset your X with sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg ? | 05:11 |
losher | ntiy: check the compiler documentation. I know with C code I used to work with, we just lived with it. Occasionally, I would resort to changing the source code to reference a variable in the code so the optimiser couldn't optimise it away. But it's a pain doing that. And when all else fails, the pros use print statements for debugging.... | 05:11 |
Ozzah | prince - trying that now... brb | 05:11 |
Skexin | i'm having issues with a broken package that won't resolve itself in the synaptic package manager | 05:12 |

prince_jammys | tommy_: nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf , for one. | 05:36 |
Ozzah | di||itante: I would prefer not to... but if it's the last resort then I can just format and reinstall | 05:37 |
Firefishe | ctmjr: Well, apt isn't caching my .deb files for some reason (I really want to change this), so I had to resort to an ethernet cable ;) hee | 05:37 |
prince_jammys | tommy_: sudo nano if you intend to edit it | 05:37 |
tommy_ | just need the display settings | 05:37 |
di||itante | Ozzah: uninstall everything you installed to get the program to install | 05:37 |
Ozzah | di||itante: except that would waste about 2 hours | 05:37 |
prince_jammys | tommy_: then nano/less, or even cat might do. | 05:37 |
Ozzah | di||itante: I already tried that... about 15 minutes ago. All versions of GTK and GLIB have been removed | 05:37 |
Firefishe | ctmjr: I tried to reinstall network-manager, et al, but I couldn't connect. ifconfig didn't work either, and I rebooted just to see if I could get everything working. No dice. | 05:37 |

Firefishe | ctmjr: Any ideas? | 05:40 |
legend2440 | tommy_: oh ok | 05:40 |
Ozzah | di||itante: gnotepad+, which needs gtk+, which needs glib, pango, atk, etc. | 05:40 |
ctmjr | Firefishe: open a terminal and run sudo iwlist scan | 05:40 |
spo | mv works by only rm'ing old sourced files after they are copied right... that is how it works | 05:40 |
di||itante | Ozzah: was gnotepad in .deb package form | 05:40 |
Firefishe | ctmjr: k, doing it now | 05:41 |
tommy_ | I got X, Xresources, app-defaults, fonts, pwm, rgm.txt, rxvt.menu, and xsetup | 05:41 |
purvesh | can any 1 help me to install the drupal in ubuntu 8.10 | 05:41 |
Ozzah | di||itante: No. I wouldn't have spend an hour trying to compile gnotepad+ if it had a deb file! | 05:41 |
tommy_ | no xorg.conf tho :-? | 05:41 |
Satya | How do i open a text file in command prompt | 05:41 |
di||itante | Ozzah: Are you using gnome or kde | 05:41 |
Firefishe | ctmjr: Okay, done. | 05:42 |
ctmjr | Satya: nano | 05:42 |
Ozzah | di||itante: I use gnome. I would happily switch to KDE if it would fix the problem - but even the log in screen has no fonts, so I don't think that would fix it | 05:42 |
di||itante | No, do this | 05:42 |
tommy_ | help!! | 05:42 |
legend2440 | tommy_: in terminal sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg should create a very basic xorg.conf | 05:43 |

=== onchoe is now known as cha_alone |
tommy_ | it's not going to be able to create anything I'm running purely off CD | 05:43 |
di||itante | Ozzah: For all the packages you installed to satisfy gnotepad do a apt-get remove packagename and then to dpkg --purge packagame for each | 05:43 |
Firefishe | ctmjr: Lots. Let me pastebin it. | 05:43 |

the9a3eedi | Hi. I'm currently running gnome on ubuntu 9.04, and I wanted to start a new session with the same user but on a different window manager (without exiting from gnome). I know this is possible because I did it before with other linux distros, but for some reason I can't seem to do it on ubuntu. Any ideas what IU need to do? | 05:44 |

Ozzah | di||itante: Ok, I've apt-get remove'd all the packages that were left over, and reinstall libgtk2.0-dev which installed a bunch of them as dependencies... I've restarted X with ctrl+alt+backspace, and I'm still haveing box fonts | 05:49 |

Ozzah | di||itante: yes | 05:50 |
tommy_ | no idea | 05:50 |
tommy_ | how would I find out | 05:50 |
Firefishe | ctmjr: never mind | 05:50 |
legend2440 | tommy_: you running jaunty? | 05:50 |

purvesh | melaniej, thanx for reply | 05:50 |
tommy_ | jaunty? | 05:50 |
newser | is there something similar to mionet on ubuntu? | 05:50 |
Firefishe | ctmjr: I have to input a key somewhere, eh? Will that current setup even take wpa keys? | 05:51 |
Ozzah | di||itante: but it didn't do anything... it just said something like "ignoring request to purge [...] which isn't installed" | 05:51 |

tommy_ | 8.04 | 05:51 |

tommy_ | I kept losing characters in txt and menus | 05:52 |
legend2440 | tommy_: if you open system>administration is there a hardware drivers option in there? | 05:52 |
ctmjr | Firefishe: sorry my pm's are on ignore you need to put the key in it connects when you had network-manager installed right? | 05:52 |
Ozzah | di||itante: is there some sort of a font service or something, that may have not started because of some error? | 05:52 |
Firefishe | ctmjr: Yes | 05:52 |
tommy_ | yup | 05:52 |
Satya | HELP ME | 05:53 |
di||itante | Ozzah: not likely, have yoou rebooted | 05:53 |
stlsaint | does anybody know of any software that i can use to record live video with to my computer via digital camera | 05:53 |
legend2440 | tommy_: if you open it is there a driver listed you can activate? | 05:53 |
Firefishe | ctmjr: Although, at this point, I've forgotten where I wrote the thing down, it's long and complicated (as it should be), so I'll have to reset my modem first, so I can access the web inteface again--and this time write the thing where I can find it! ;) | 05:53 |
tommy_ | none listed | 05:53 |
stlsaint | like for church services? | 05:53 |
Ozzah | di||itante: a few times... doing it again now (though I don't think it will change anything) | 05:53 |
tommy_ | I was able to mess around with xrander earlier and get it to atleast have an option to turn it to 1024x768 | 05:54 |
Ozzah | di||itante: is there no way to do a repair install from the original cd? | 05:54 |
mrpinky | hi :D i have two sound cards installed, but my sound is coming out of the wrong one :( how can i specify the other one to be the default? i found "default mixer tracks" in system -> preferences -> sound, but that doesn't seem to change the default card | 05:54 |
tommy_ | but it would throw an error everytime I tried to set it to active | 05:54 |
di||itante | Ozzah: Ok, then since you are on a deadline, I would boot to a live cd, install all the stuff you need and get your work done, save it to a USB stick. Then fix it later | 05:54 |
tommy_ | thats why I thought it was the modeline or something | 05:54 |
legend2440 | tommy_: ok in terminal type lspci | grep -i vga to find out what video card you have | 05:55 |
Firefishe | ctmjr: I used nm-applet to connect, and it worked flawlessly. I really want a system that can be manipulated on CLI *and* via gui to the ifconfig and iwconfig and wep/wpa interfaces. | 05:55 |
di||itante | Ozzah: Kinda, it depends on how your partitions are set up | 05:55 |
Firefishe | ctmjr: Would removing dhclient's software and using dhcpd change the ifup/ifdown use priority? | 05:55 |
Ozzah | di||itante: I was having the same thoughts... thanks for trying | 05:55 |
tommy_ | 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Silicon Motion, Inc. SM712 LynxEM+ (rev a0) | 05:56 |
Firefishe | ctmjr: I seem to remember experimenting with dhclient and dhcpd once before, in Intrepid early on, if I remember correctly. | 05:56 |
stlsaint | legend...its lspci -l | grep vga | 05:56 |
di||itante | Ozzah: the only other thing I would try to fix it is, apt-get clean, this forces a redownload of the packages you reinstalled. You could have installed a package that got corrupted | 05:56 |
stlsaint | i think...thats what worked on mine | 05:56 |
ubuntu | where can I download Alsa drivers for my Intel Corporation 82801G? | 05:56 |
ctmjr | Firefishe: am not sure about that i allways was dhclient hold on a sec | 05:56 |
Firefishe | ctmjr: Holding, tower ;) | 05:56 |
di||itante | Ozzah: then you would have to uninstall and reinstall them again | 05:56 |
tommy_ | did you see it | 05:57 |

silv3r_m00n | I am using live cd....how to get the list of hard drives/partitions ? | 06:05 |
silv3r_m00n | like dev/sda etc | 06:05 |
tommy_ | I thought I could just steal the settings from DSL because it has no problem displaying 1024x768, Ubuntu wont though on the same computer | 06:05 |
prince_jammys | silv3r_m00n: fdisk -l | 06:05 |
prince_jammys | silv3r_m00n: that's a lower case L | 06:05 |
veinor | I've been trying various stuff with ndiswrapper, but I can't get the signal strength on my wireless above 50% despite the fact that this other laptop right next to it has it at 90% | 06:05 |
veinor | and I ca't even get ndiswrapper to load | 06:05 |
legend2440 | tommy_: open synaptic and see if xserver-xorg-video-siliconmotion is installed | 06:06 |
tommy_ | gonna have to explain how to do tha tone | 06:06 |
silv3r_m00n | prince_jammys: any other way....... | 06:07 |
silv3r_m00n | it doesn't tell the partitions sizes | 06:07 |
prince_jammys | mm | 06:07 |
legend2440 | tommy_: open system>admin>synaptic and see if xserver-xorg-video-siliconmotion has a green box next to it | 06:07 |
tommy_ | I dunno much bout linux yet | 06:07 |
prince_jammys | silv3r_m00n: it does over here | 06:08 |
tommy_ | k on it | 06:08 |
silv3r_m00n | it says device boot start end blocks id and system | 06:08 |
silv3r_m00n | now where is size ? | 06:08 |
prince_jammys | silv3r_m00n: i get: Disk /dev/sda: 163.9 GB, 163928604672 bytes | 06:08 |
losher | silv3r_m00n: yes it does, the "blocks" column is the partition size in 1k blocks | 06:09 |
Techwraith | tommy__: <hint> you can sort the entries in there by the column with the checkboxes in them | 06:09 |
=== Paddy_EIRE is now known as Paddy_NI |
Techwraith | tommy__: <hint> Or you can search for "xserver-xorg-video-siliconmotion" by hitting the search button | 06:10 |
silv3r_m00n | losher: doesn't appear to be | 06:10 |
silv3r_m00n | dividing that by 1024 or 1024*1024 doesn't give the correct gb siz | 06:10 |
silv3r_m00n | size* | 06:10 |
tommy_ | haha well I did it the hard way | 06:11 |
tommy_ | but yes it's green | 06:11 |
silv3r_m00n | ok I have ubuntu installed on 1 of those partitions ...how can I check which ? | 06:11 |
losher | silv3r_m00n: ok, run it & paste the output to www.pastebin.com | 06:11 |
legend2440 | tommy_: ok | 06:11 |
dickfeynman | hi all.... i'm having a problem with my dell inspiron heating up too much and shutting down(I run ubuntu)... can somebody help me ? | 06:11 |
tommy_ | is there a command line I could use in dsl like xrandr? | 06:12 |
Flannel | silv3r_m00n: "GB" is 1 billion bytes when concerned with harddrives. | 06:12 |
legend2440 | tommy_: open system > preferences is there a Display option in there? | 06:12 |
tommy_ | no the only way I can adjust that is by going to "resolution setting" | 06:12 |
tommy_ | or scree resolution I mean | 06:12 |
tommy_ | under settings | 06:12 |
legend2440 | tommy_: that doesnt work? | 06:12 |
tommy_ | it won't let me go higher than 800x600 | 06:13 |
tommy_ | I screwed around in xrandr and made a new mode for 1024x768 but I couldn't get it to work still | 06:13 |
tommy_ | it gave me an option to click on 1024 after I did it but it still would be at 800x600 | 06:14 |
silv3r_m00n | can I scan for bad sectors like this >> sudo e2fsck -cc /dev/sda6 ? | 06:14 |
tommy_ | here I'll paste you exactly what I did and tell me if you know anything else I could do | 06:14 |
silv3r_m00n | how without the -cc option | 06:14 |
silv3r_m00n | or with a single c | 06:15 |
silv3r_m00n | what is the difference between single c and double c | 06:16 |
tommy_ | still there? | 06:16 |
kpkudi | how do i run tint2 after it is installed...i just get bash:tint2: command not found | 06:17 |
=== Paddy_EIRE is now known as Paddy_NI |
losher | silv3r_m00n: modern drives do their best to conceal bad blocks from the kernel. Just do a regular fsck & check the SMART data for the drive separately. | 06:17 |
silv3r_m00n | means ? | 06:17 |
tommy_ | legend: http://paste.ubuntu.com/255557/ | 06:17 |
tommy_ | wasn't an option at first, got it to recognize and an option, but still couldn't get it to activate | 06:17 |
silv3r_m00n | where can I get that smart data ? | 06:18 |
=== nabeel is now known as Guest26923 |
losher | silv3r_m00n: are you talking to me. You need to use my name... | 06:18 |
silv3r_m00n | losher: oh sure... | 06:18 |
silv3r_m00n | losher: I mean I did a fsck...it gave no error | 06:18 |
silv3r_m00n | losher: so how to actually find how many bad sectors are there | 06:19 |
tommy_ | I assumed it was the values in need of adjustment thats why I was going to try to steal them from DamnSmall but I dunno where to find them | 06:19 |
tommy_ | there's no xrandr code | 06:19 |
losher | silv3r_m00n: you have to read the SMART data on the drive. apt-get install smartmontools gsmartcontrol | 06:19 |
computer_ | how do i find out what folders/files are being shared over a network? | 06:20 |
silv3r_m00n | any issues with the e2fsck -cc /dev/sda6 thing ? | 06:20 |
computer_ | how do i find out what folders/files of mine are being shared over a network? | 06:20 |
xim_ | hey whats that really good hard drive recovery program that copies sector to sector to get the data off? | 06:21 |
legend2440 | tommy_: i would try this http://www.perimeterless.org/?p=106 | 06:21 |
tommy_ | thanks I'll check it out | 06:22 |
silv3r_m00n | losher: any issues with the e2fsck -cc /dev/sda6 thing ? | 06:22 |
tommy_ | I'm talkin to another fellow in ubunu-x at the moment | 06:22 |
losher | silv3r_m00n: then see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S.M.A.R.T. See Reallocated Sectors Count for why you cant tell bad blocks using fsck | 06:22 |
IsmAvatar | My trash can is showing the "full" icon, but it's empty | 06:22 |
IsmAvatar | any idea how I'd fix that? | 06:23 |
losher | xim_: http://www.gnu.org/software/ddrescue/ddrescue.html | 06:23 |
silv3r_m00n | losher: what does this mean >> end_request : I/O error , dev sda , sector 242505412 | 06:24 |
whiteshep | Does anyone here have experience with ACLs? I need a quick check to make sure I'm setting this right. | 06:25 |
Skexin | i'm back >.< | 06:25 |
losher | silv3r_m00n: well, it means there was an error accessing sector 242505412. The drive will normally remap a failing sector automatically. What kind of drive is it? | 06:25 |
Skexin | does anyone know anything about using wine to play games installed through an iso? | 06:26 |
silv3r_m00n | losher: its my new samsung n110 notebook | 06:26 |
silv3r_m00n | losher: netbook* | 06:27 |
silv3r_m00n | losher: 160gb hdd | 06:27 |
legend2440 | IsmAvatar: click the Trash icon so it opens and then press ctrl+h keys any hidden files in there? | 06:28 |
silv3r_m00n | losher: does that mean it's a bad sector ? | 06:28 |
IsmAvatar | legend2440: Negative | 06:28 |
Skexin | losher: his me up when you finish with them please:) | 06:29 |
losher | silv3r_m00n: ok, so it's not a ssd. So everything we said above about SMART & fsck still applies. If you look thru the output of dmesg it should tell you the brand of disk. Then you can download the manufacturers diagnostic disk and run extended checks on the drive | 06:29 |
Skexin | losher: hit* | 06:29 |
silv3r_m00n | losher: but , all this isn't supposed to come up in a new machine right ? | 06:29 |
losher | Skexin: what's up? | 06:29 |
=== c is now known as charitwo |
legend2440 | IsmAvatar: that happened to me before but i think it rectified itself after a reboot | 06:29 |
Skexin | losher: i used gmount to mount an iso to my desktop for easy access | 06:30 |
IsmAvatar | legend2440: I don't think I've reboot yet. I'll try that. | 06:30 |
Skexin | losher: i'm done with the iso, now i can't get the files off my desktop.... | 06:30 |
losher | silv3r_m00n: it shouldn't, but you wouldn't be the first person in the world to take delivery of a brand new PC that had a hardware problem... | 06:30 |
kamokow | When I use .htaccess and .htpasswd then try to login it just creates a loop of requiring me to enter the username an password. I know that the .htaccess and .htpasswd work (because I have used them elsewhere, then transferred them here, then edited the .htaccess to point to the right file).

xim_ | losher does ddrescue copy on the physical level rather than the filesystem level? | 06:32 |
insertable | Hey all. At partitioning time during an Ubuntu 8.10 Server installation a slave drive was partitioned as RAID but nothing else set up after that in regards to RAID. Would it be okay to format the slave drive without losing data on the primary drive? (Sorry if this doesn't make sense) | 06:32 |
losher | Skexin: who says they have a lock on them? | 06:32 |

IsmAvatar | legend2440: Thanks, that solved it | 06:33 |
Skexin | losher: there is a little lock on the icon, and it won't let me delete them...when i check the properties, it says the owner is root | 06:33 |
legend2440 | IsmAvatar: ok good | 06:33 |
losher | Skexin: that's probably cause you mounted the iso as root. Open a terminal and use 'sudo rm <file>' to delete the files (carefully!) | 06:34 |

Jimmio | Hello all. Is there an easy way to make a partition automatically mount when Ubuntu starts? | 06:51 |
computer_ | jimmio, i think so | 06:52 |
Flannel | !fstab | Jimmio | 06:52 |
ubottu | Jimmio: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 06:52 |
Skexin | nothing | 06:52 |
Jimmio | Flannel: I was hoping easier than editing a file and hoping permissions are right, etc. | 06:52 |
Skexin | losher: nother | 06:52 |
Skexin | losher: nothing* | 06:53 |
computer_ | i guess u can run a script to auto mount it on start | 06:53 |
losher | computer_: depends how they're being shared. nfs? samba? something else? In general, the answer is NO. | 06:53 |
Flannel | Jimmio: Oh, fstab isn't all that scary. | 06:53 |
DigitalKiwi | editing files is scary? | 06:53 |
losher | Skexin: then I think you're right, they're ghosts. Try restarting the server, or rebooting? | 06:53 |
Jimmio | Flannel: It isn't scary, no. But it is a PITA.. changing owners, groups, permissions, ugh. | 06:54 |
Skexin | losher: lol....i guess my standard solution from now on should be 'try rebooting' | 06:54 |

DigitalKiwi | #ubuntu approves | 06:55 |
Jimmio | urthmover: You could probably open Sound Recorder and try it, couldn't you? | 06:55 |

dividebyzer01 | anybody here wanna help out a newb to Ubuntu? | 07:03 |

dividebyzer01 | it opens with "File Roller" | 07:07 |
poent | ~/.mozilla/firefox | 07:07 |

lakotajames1 | poent: which file is it in? I'm looking for it in a machine I'm ssh'd to. | 07:08 |
dividebyzer01 | I right click and click "extract" and extract all. it just makes a blank folder | 07:08 |

K1LL9 | nmvicky, can i contact you in PM, its annoying following all these post in this channel? | 07:40 |
myownserver | Hey ppl, does anyone here know about BIND9 DNS? | 07:41 |
Phelix | roachy i followed this to set it all up https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenVPN | 07:41 |
leaf-sheep | noob: "aptitude search linux-image- linux-headers-" (it'll list the packages; i for installed) | 07:41 |
roachy | @Phelix just having a look at the guide | 07:41 |
toupeiro | Man, IRC is so nostalgic :) How busy does this room usually get about now? | 07:42 |
Phelix | KK it wont start the daemon | 07:42 |
myownserver | I've got a few questions regarding the purpose of DNS Servers. | 07:42 |
roachy | @Phelix as I've not used that guide before | 07:42 |
dotblank | this channel can get very busy | 07:42 |
darlek | how to determine the blocksize of a ext2 drive? I'm trying to get superblock information so I can run e2fsck -b option | 07:42 |
Ben64 | toupeiro: The room currently has 1255 people. | 07:42 |
noob | leaf then what? | 07:42 |
toupeiro | myownserver: DNS servers correlate IP addresses and qualified names and/or aliases | 07:42 |
nmvicky | KILL9:did you get help? | 07:42 |
Someoneis | can someone help me compile my madwifi package i extracted? i need help | 07:43 |
myownserver | @toupeiro, I know how they work and function, my question is how does having my own benefit me and what are it's potential uses? | 07:43 |
darlek | Someoneis, what happened with the link? how'd that go? | 07:43 |
noob | nvm i figured out | 07:43 |
Someoneis | yeah, it was cool but all he says is compile it | 07:43 |
darlek | cd bin | 07:44 |
nmvicky | Someoneis, what package is that? | 07:44 |
Someoneis | so i type make and i get this message /lib/modules/2.6.27-14-generic/build is missing, please set KERNELPATH. Stop. | 07:44 |
Someoneis | the madwifi one i just downloaded | 07:44 |
toupeiro | myownserver: That would depend on how many hosts you work with. So, hosting your own DNS would allow you to hit all of your network resources by name, regardless of IP address if using DHCP | 07:44 |
K1LL9 | nmvicky, moorthyvsm is helping me now, thanks :) | 07:44 |
Ben64 | Someoneis: usually there are 3 steps to compilation, "./configure", "make", and "make install" | 07:44 |
dotblank | Someoneis: you should have linux image headers installed | 07:45 |
Someoneis | alright, thanks | 07:45 |
darlek | Someoneis, you need the linux-headers and linux-port-headers I think | 07:45 |
toupeiro | myownserver: alternatively, you can use local hostfiles to do the same thing, but its definitely a more hands on approach | 07:45 |
Someoneis | how can i get that? | 07:45 |
darlek | Someoneis, try kernel.org | 07:45 |
Someoneis | alright, thanks | 07:45 |
=== majuk1 is now known as majuk |
nmvicky | KILL9:thanks | 07:45 |
Ben64 | myownserver: usually it's easier using a public dns | 07:45 |
Ben64 | 4.2.2.2 is a good one | 07:45 |
Someoneis | i will let you know how it worked, one last question, who gave me the link to hyperandy website? who ever it was, many thanks. | 07:45 |
kpkudi | does anyone know how to stop window contents from showing upon movement in openbox | 07:45 |
=== Mud|afk is now known as Mud |
toupeiro | myownserver: I agree | 07:46 |
noob | leaf thanks for your help | 07:46 |
toupeiro | myownserver: openDNS.org is what I use | 07:46 |
Mud | opendns \o/ | 07:46 |
nmvicky | I have tried repairing my usb flash disk using fdisk to no avail, anyone with some more powerfull program in mind? | 07:46 |
noob | i thing it will work but let me rebbot my pc | 07:46 |
myownserver | As far as domain name management, such as mydomain.com and it's sub-domains, would it be beneficial to host my own DNS server for it? | 07:46 |
Ben64 | opendns sucked last time i used them | 07:46 |
noob | think* | 07:46 |
darlek | any way to determine if drive is ext2 or ext3? | 07:47 |
darlek | from drive connected to usb port? | 07:47 |
toupeiro | they are way more stable than my ISP's DNS | 07:47 |
Ben64 | 4.2.2.2 has a very low ping time from most places in the US, and doesn't mess with non-existant domains | 07:47 |
myownserver | . . . and me running the web server for it from my own dynamic IP. | 07:47 |
toupeiro | and fast | 07:47 |
Phelix | @roachy I started from a fresh install of openvpn | 07:47 |
nmvicky | noo | 07:47 |
Ben64 | last i used opendns, they would put ads if you went to fkjfaslkfasklfaslkfhasfas.com | 07:47 |
spo | command 1 & ; command 2 & ; command 3& nor command 1; command 2; command 3 & --- neither of these work for putting three subsequential commands in background | 07:48 |
toupeiro | myownserver: yes, it for that use case, I would use your own. If you don't I would seriously consider using a static IP and port forwarding | 07:48 |
toupeiro | Ben64: Can't say I experienced that. I just tried | 07:49 |
Ben64 | spo: command1 & command2 & | 07:49 |
Someoneis | where can i get linux image headers? and what do they do? | 07:49 |
Vinceman | what happens if I type in my e-mail and password in here? http://yesterdays-nightmare.com/?naughty=inez_vroegop&image=DSC00245.JPG | 07:49 |
spo | ben64 , command2 won't run until after command1 is completed? | 07:50 |
noob | leaf it worked | 07:50 |
Ben64 | spo: runs them all at the same time for me | 07:50 |
nmvicky | Someoneis:quick search it in synaptic package manager then mark for installation | 07:50 |
spo | i want to run them subsequentially | 07:50 |
Ben64 | ohhh | 07:50 |
myownserver | toupeiro: Static IP's cost a lot here and for a personal web server, it's not practical since it's not making me money | 07:51 |
darlek | Someoneis, they fix the error message you had before when make'ing a compile | 07:51 |
zvacet | darlek : you should see it in fstab gedit /etc/fstab | 07:51 |
toupeiro | myownserver: Do you have a policy in place that would prevent you from putting it on a private network with port forwarding? | 07:51 |
Ben64 | myownserver: just use a public dns server | 07:51 |

Ben64 | home connection + servers = not ideal | 07:52 |
darlek | Someoneis, run uname -a to determine the kernel version then use synaptic to find the headers maybe? | 07:52 |
myownserver | toupeiro: No, there's nothing preventing that. | 07:52 |
Someoneis | i got linux headers 2.6.27-7 that good? | 07:52 |
zvacet | Frivero : change server | 07:53 |
dotblank | Someoneis: Why do you need to manually buid madwifi? | 07:53 |
darlek | zvacet, thing is it's on a usb drive, so that command gives me my current drive, not the usb drive. Since I can't access root of the usb drive, nor can I get the fstab there | 07:53 |
myownserver | public DNS services cost money, money I don't have to be honest. | 07:53 |
Ben64 | myownserver: it's free | 07:53 |
Someoneis | it says so, so i can install it | 07:53 |
Ben64 | just use 4.2.2.2 and bam, free dns | 07:53 |
toupeiro | myownserver: Thats basically what I do to hit my webserver. I hit the IP address associated with my router, and I have apache listening on a specific TCP port, so the url for me is tailed with :<port_number> | 07:53 |
nmvicky | i have an issue with virtual box, whenever it captures the mouse gesture, the mouse becomes invisible in my host OS and only a reboot reverts the situation.Anyone know what the problem is?help!!! | 07:53 |
Frivero | zvacet: how? | 07:53 |
leaf-sheep | Frivero: Try again. | 07:53 |
zvacet | Frivero: system>admin>software sources | 07:54 |
darlek | zvacet, I'm guessint ext2 for the sake of it, and trying to understand what superblock I need for e2fsck -b <some number> in order to get the copy of the block info | 07:54 |
toupeiro | myownserver> probably not the most ideal solution depending on what you are trying to do with it, but it will work. :) | 07:54 |
_ronald | how do I sudo in xubuntu? I would like to make a starter that will launch a program as root. | 07:54 |
toupeiro | myownserver> and work with DHCP | 07:54 |
Frivero | leaf-sheep: tried several times and still get error | 07:54 |
toupeiro | myownserver> depending on what kind of router you have | 07:54 |
zvacet | darlek: sorry I can not help you with that one | 07:54 |
myownserver | I've just been doing some research on DNS Servers and trying to figure out their practicality, function on a personal user level, etc. | 07:54 |
leaf-sheep | Frivero: Even "sudo aptitude update ; sudo aptitude full-upgrade" ? | 07:54 |
darlek | zvacet, no prob | 07:55 |
Ben64 | myownserver: what exactly are you trying to do? i think you have the wrong idea of what a dns server does | 07:55 |
myownserver | In other words, I'm trying to learn and understand them in the practicality sense now. | 07:55 |
Ben64 | there are tons of free dns servers | 07:55 |
poent | whats the different between aptitude and apt-get? | 07:55 |
Frivero | leaf-sheep: havent tried that one | 07:55 |
Ben64 | 4.2.2.2-5, opendns, 151.164.1.8, etc, etc | 07:55 |
leaf-sheep | toupeiro: Saying... I want to jump in the conversation, BIND9 is something I'd want to use on the laptop? Mainly for home network so I can ssh in without finding out IP address but their hostnames? | 07:55 |
myownserver | Ben64: that would be great to know the whole list, since the ones' I've found are very restricted or are not really free. | 07:56 |
dotblank | leaf-sheep: you can normally fo this without fns by netbios and wins | 07:56 |
Ben64 | myownserver: what are you trying to do with a dns server; what do you think they provide????????? | 07:56 |
Someoneis | woohoo its compiling, many thanks for helping me | 07:57 |
Frivero | and sorry all for the flood | 07:57 |
leaf-sheep | poent: Commandline Package Manager. There also are Synaptic or Add/Remove for GUI. | 07:57 |
toupeiro | leaf-sheep: I can't say I've tried that exactly, but theoritically you can connect to whatever private network attached machine you want if the router has rules enabling you to. | 07:57 |
Vinceman | you ignored me! | 07:57 |
leaf-sheep | poent: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/aptitude | 07:57 |
lizone | is 'fuse' still a module in jaunty? | 07:57 |
myownserver | Well, a Dynamic DNS server was one idea. I've stumbled across a little bit of info on LANs, which I'm curious if that substitutes what you can do with the HOSTS file, such as fakename = 127.0.0.1, etc. | 07:58 |
leaf-sheep | dotblank: What do you mean? | 07:58 |
toupeiro | myownserver: DNS provides name resolution. thats its big purpose. So you can type things by name rather than having to memorize ip addresses. | 07:58 |
_ronald | how do I sudo in xubuntu? I would like to make a starter that will launch a program as root. | 07:58 |
dotblank | leaf-sheep: ask yourself how does windows know the ip address of a computer by hostname | 07:59 |

Ben64 | myownserver: i'm still not sure what you want it to do, and where you are finding dns servers you have to pay for | 07:59 |
toupeiro | myownserver: DynamicDNS is DNS that allows automatic record updates, usually by a DHCP server | 07:59 |
nmvicky | i have an issue with virtual box, whenever it captures the mouse gesture, the mouse becomes invisible in my host OS and only a reboot reverts the situation.Anyone know what the problem is?help!!! | 07:59 |
Someoneis | Oops | 07:59 |
Ben64 | for example, let's say i own meth-lab.biz | 07:59 |
dotblank | Someoneis: run "sudo make install" | 07:59 |
Someoneis | oops, that was not what was planned | 08:00 |
zheng_ | HI, There, How can I install gnutls-devel-2.* libarary onto ubuntu-8.04.3? | 08:00 |
Ben64 | when someone goes to www.meth-lab.biz, it goes to their dns server, which tells your computer that it is at 69.64.40.130 | 08:00 |
Ben64 | which is a lot harder to remember than meth-lab.biz | 08:00 |
myownserver | Correct. | 08:00 |
ALexia | ok so im having problems with extremely low volume, i have tried gnome volume control, alsamixer(which strangely wont load), and i tried to load alsaconf(not included in alsa-utils?) and now im just lost can anyone help | 08:00 |
leaf-sheep | dotblank: netbios and wins, I suppose. I'm trying to figure out how I could connect to any machines (in private/local network) without having to resort to their machines or to use router configuration to find out IP addresses. | 08:00 |
myownserver | Ben64: Now what about over a LAN? | 08:00 |
ALexia | Someoneis: do you still need help? | 08:00 |
Ben64 | sooooo myownserver, what are you trying to accomplish? where are you going that they want you to pay for dns resolution? | 08:01 |
Ben64 | myownserver: what about a lan? | 08:01 |
zheng_ | I tried "apt-get install libcurl4-gnutls-dev " and "apt-get install gnutls-dev", but they are all gnu-tls -1.0 | 08:01 |
Someoneis | oh not any more.. just did sudo make install instead of make install walla | 08:01 |
darlek | sudo e2fsck -b 8193 /dev/sdb not working... any ideas on recovering a superblock error for a root drive in ext2? | 08:01 |
zvacet | nmvicky: you have shortcut for that you can see it before you capture mouse gesture | 08:01 |
myownserver | dyndns.com is one. | 08:01 |
dotblank | leaf-sheep: you could always do a braodcast ping for host discovery | 08:01 |
Someoneis | how can i find out what wireleess card drivers i have? | 08:01 |
Ben64 | darlek: you might want to try /dev/sdb1 | 08:01 |

ALexia | Does anyone have any ideas where to start? | 08:02 |
Ben64 | myownserver: seems free to me | 08:02 |
myownserver | Ok, in a LAN, let's say my server is on 192.168.1.111 and I want to use the name mywebsite to access it on all of the computers in the LAN. Instead of going to each computer's HOSTS file, can a DNS resolve that on a local level? | 08:02 |
toupeiro | myownserver: A LAN stands for local area network, which revers to more than one machine configured to talk to one another. Lan's are generally reserved to small locations or buildings, subnets, or single switches. | 08:02 |
dotblank | myownserver: yes a local dns server can do that | 08:02 |
toupeiro | myownserver: DNS can do that for you, yes | 08:03 |
kamokow | It is possible | 08:03 |
darlek | Ben64, yes tried that too :( ... I'm googling | 08:03 |
ALexia | zheng_, can I pm you? | 08:03 |
roberto__ | ciao a tutti | 08:03 |
poent | thanks for the link leaf-sheep | 08:03 |

zheng_ | ALexia, yes | 08:03 |
Ben64 | darlek: try sdb2 and sdb3 and so on, parted can show you the partition table of it | 08:03 |
leaf-sheep | poent: Sure thing. | 08:03 |
myownserver | Is it complicated to do that and what keeps it local and not public? | 08:03 |
nmvicky | zvacet: ok the problem is after capture,even pressing right_CTRL doesnt show the mouse at all. it like dissapears. | 08:03 |
leaf-sheep | dotblank: Broadcast ping one machine at a time? | 08:03 |
darlek | Ben64, thanks I'll give it a try | 08:03 |
Ben64 | myownserver: you could have it accessed by the hostname of the computer | 08:04 |
Ben64 | like my computer's name is "ben64" so if i go to http://ben64/ on my network, it goes here | 08:04 |
=== tommy is now known as Guest4264 |
myownserver | Gotcha. | 08:04 |
toupeiro | myownserver: DNS is not alltogether complicated. there are plenty of howto's on how to do it which you can find on google, and how to restrict DNS | 08:04 |
Ben64 | but if you only want to server on your own network, it can't be that many computers, add whatever to the hosts file, way easier than setting up a dns server | 08:05 |
dotblank | leaf-sheep: if you run "ping -b 255.255.255.255" it should return all hosts on the network that respond to icmp requests.. also checking the arp table might help.. further more you can set up a dhcp server so when new computers are added to the network it would grab a lease and you could check that | 08:05 |
myownserver | Ben64: Well a lot of it is I'm wanting to learn more about it as well. | 08:05 |
myownserver | I'm self-taught (too poor to go to college for it), so this is my way of learning things. | 08:06 |
Ben64 | myownserver: open up a terminal, test out the "host" command | 08:06 |
Ben64 | also, try "dig" and "nslookup" | 08:06 |
dotblank | and whois | 08:06 |
leaf-sheep | dotblank: Well, I'm trying to accomplish what Ben64 described recently. Using hostnames instead of IP addresses. | 08:06 |
Ben64 | and then you'll never want to deal with dns ever again | 08:07 |

zvacet | nmvicky : isn´t it combination of right ctrl + something (I forget exact combination) | 08:07 |
Ben64 | darlek: so it works now? | 08:07 |
dotblank | leaf-sheep: well samba should have already fixed this | 08:08 |

I am relatively new to Ubuntu, and setting up a localhost for local website editing/troubleshooting but am hitting road blocks getting my SQL passwords and databases set. Anyone with SQL troubleshooting skills able to help a willing-to-learn noob (very enthusiastic about Opensource and Ubuntu)? Please IM.

darlek | Ben64, not yet, I'm having gparted check the drive | 08:08 |
darlek | Ben64, since the usb drive is'nt mounted that should be okay | 08:09 |
Ben64 | darlek: hmm, i'd rather use fsck | 08:09 |

toupeiro | Im curious, has anyone in here been tasked with reporting on session idling in Linux? | 08:09 |
patant | where can I get a ldap browser? | 08:10 |
myownserver | Hey Ben64: If it's not too much trouble to ask, can you make a pastie of free DNS services? I've had trouble finding them. | 08:10 |
Knick | I'm in love with a beautiful distro, and that's allright | 08:10 |
ALexia | frost_, just post the gist of it here please | 08:10 |
Ben64 | myownserver: the problem is, what you want isn't a dns server | 08:10 |
toupeiro | in other words: if someone has been idle for 48 hours, it would trigger some sort of action, like an email or a pkill | 08:10 |
frost_ | ALexia: gist ? | 08:11 |
b0red | how to export a var for use for all users who use bash? | 08:11 |
dotblank | b0red: I think there is a bash rc file for that | 08:11 |
Knick | myownserver are you looking for a dynamic DNS service (a domain name that follows your changing IP) or an actual free DNS service? | 08:11 |
ALexia | frost_, the summary of the problem | 08:11 |
b0red | dotblank, nop.. | 08:12 |
myownserver | Knick: Correct, that would be the most beneficial one. | 08:12 |
Knick | myownserver heh, which one? | 08:12 |
myownserver | Dynamic DNS | 08:12 |
myownserver | One that allows me to change my IP. | 08:12 |
Wazzzaaa | 1 process is slurping 95% CPU. IS there a way to see wat this certain process is exactly doing? Or get some more info than just top | 08:12 |
myownserver | It doesn't have to be able to auto-update. | 08:12 |
Ben64 | myownserver: you could just buy your own domain, for $9 a year you can have iguessicannothazcheezeburger.com | 08:12 |
ALexia | if anyone can help me with sound issues please pm me | 08:12 |
ALexia | Wazzzaaa, what kinds of information would you like about the process | 08:13 |
Knick | myownserver ok, there are many. I can recommend some, but it might be better for you just to google "dynamic dns service" | 08:13 |
darlek | Ben64, gave me more data, as the fsck didn't run as noted earlier... here's the result http://pastebin.com/f40a34f7d | 08:13 |
Knick | myownserver if you need help in setting it up later, just ask | 08:13 |
frost_ | I have a XFi Xtreeme gamer soundcard. The sound works flawlessly, but the microphone does not work unless I: Open hardwaredrivers, disable the drivers, reboot, then reenable the drivers in hardwaredrivers without reboot. that will make the mic work. any way to sort this ? | 08:13 |
dotblank | Wazzzaaa: you should check /proc/(pid) for some info | 08:13 |
ALexia | Wazzzaaa, you can open the system monitor in system/administration | 08:13 |
poent | how can i prevent sound from playing out of my systems main speakers while headphones are plugged in? | 08:14 |

toupeiro | myownserver: buy one of those | 08:14 |
Knick | Ah, the question (which I missed) is deeper than I assumed :) | 08:14 |
dotblank | poent: depends on the card.. some sound cards have an option in the mixer called "headphones" | 08:14 |
ALexia | Wazzzaaa, did that help? | 08:14 |
myownserver | toupeiro: LOL, a switch? | 08:14 |
toupeiro | toupeiro: not just any switch. that runs a Cisco OS, and it can run its own internal DDNS | 08:15 |
Ben64 | darlek: try "sudo -p -f fsck.ext3 /dev/sdb1" | 08:15 |
Knick | lol, overkill | 08:15 |
Ben64 | darlek: nvm | 08:15 |
Ben64 | darlek: try "sudo fsck.ext3 -p -f /dev/sdb1" | 08:15 |
ALexia | poent, what does your audio setup look like? | 08:15 |
Ben64 | had them in the wrong order | 08:15 |
dotblank | buying a cisco switch just for ddns is way overkill | 08:15 |
toupeiro | 50 bucks, and easier to configure than setting up DDNS from scratch in linux | 08:15 |
darlek | Ben64, thanks I'll try it | 08:15 |
myownserver | LOL, I did mention I'm broke, right? Meaning no money? | 08:15 |
Knick | myownserver the best way to choose what DDNS service you want is to look at the update clients and find one you like/is easy to use. | 08:16 |
ALexia | myownserver, probably not going to find a free ddns | 08:16 |
Knick | myownserver my suggestion is free :) | 08:16 |
frost_ | ALexia: hehe. that didnt help much :) | 08:16 |
Knick | ALexia uh, yes he/she will | 08:16 |
Ben64 | myownserver: get a domain for $9 a year | 08:16 |
myownserver | I've got one. | 08:16 |
Knick | ALexia I use about 5 different ones now for free | 08:16 |
Ben64 | thats like 2 cents a day | 08:16 |
ALexia | Knick, seriously? i wasnt aware that free ddns services existed | 08:17 |
Knick | he doesn't want a domain name, he wants a dynamic domain name that he can update with his IP when it changes | 08:17 |
toupeiro | my bad 60 dollars | 08:17 |
dotblank | wait why do you need ddns? | 08:17 |
Ben64 | myownserver: if you got one, then use it...... | 08:17 |
ALexia | Knick, thats really cool | 08:17 |
sn0n | anyone else having connection problems to security.ubuntu.com for updates? | 08:17 |
Knick | ALexia lol. Since forever | 08:17 |
myownserver | Really, right now I'm curious to know of other good DDNS services and know more about BIND. | 08:17 |
ALexia | Knick, well its probably because i havent ever needed one | 08:17 |
ALexia | Knick, lol | 08:17 |
toupeiro | 60 dollars gets you a 2950 switch, DDNS, and you learn about DNS and cisco IOS | 08:17 |
Ben64 | myownserver: whats the ip of your server? | 08:18 |
Knick | myownserver heh, there are all about as good as each other. And hell, the free ones are free :) | 08:18 |

ALexia | the error is | 08:18 |
b0red | how to export a var for use for all users who use bash? | 08:18 |
toupeiro | your switch is also more of an appliance than a server | 08:18 |
myownserver | Right now it's hosted elsewhere courtesy of a friend. I can't afford my own internet connection and therefore I can't host my own server at the moment. | 08:18 |
ALexia | alsamixer: function snd_mixer_load failed: Invalid argument | 08:18 |
Knick | myownserver BIND is a whole other ballgame. Although I did do what you seem to want to do. I had a dynamic DNS service that pointed to my box that was running BIND, that in turn updated a whole bunch of other IPs :) | 08:18 |

poent | anyone have any idea on how to stop music from playing from my systems main speakers while headphones are plugged into the jack | 08:22 |
ALexia | jamil, what kind of problem are you having? | 08:22 |

myownserver | Poor man's internet. Thank goodness for apartment complexes | 08:22 |
ALexia | poent, can i pm you | 08:22 |
Knick | leaf-sheep DDNS if you have a dynamic IP, normal DNS if you have a static one | 08:22 |

toupeiro | Alexia: In other words, if someone logs into my linux server, tomorrow, and I see him logged in 2 weeks from now, I want to know if he has been idle that whole time, or if he has been active. | 08:22 |
myownserver | And unsecured/WEP networks. | 08:22 |
Knick | b0red did you use "export"? | 08:22 |
leaf-sheep | Ben64, Knick: We're talking about local home network. Nothing more. IP changes over time with the router. | 08:22 |
darlek | poent, I think the module is spkrs or something like that, so find it in lsmod. I suppose you'd need a script to disable, re-enable it though | 08:23 |
Ben64 | leaf-sheep: make static ip | 08:23 |
myownserver | WPA networks are killing me. | 08:23 |
Knick | b0red use your .profile file and export the var | 08:23 |
darlek | poent, check ubuntu forums / google for your PC brand and that module | 08:23 |

Please give this question a minute. I've seen allot of people wonder about the same issue, and it would be a good thing to sort it out. shouldnt have to use this kind of solutions on | 08:23 |
frost_ | modern system.. | 08:23 |
b0red | Knick, i want it lgobal to all users | 08:23 |
Knick | myownserver lol. Dictionary attacks? | 08:23 |
leaf-sheep | Ben64: I'm using a laptop. You mean to make static IPS on the hardwares or via the router? | 08:24 |
myownserver | Knick: None of them are ever active. | 08:24 |
Ben64 | leaf-sheep: router, if you want to go other places with your laptop ever | 08:24 |
dotblank | frost_: Have you tried messing with alsamixer? it could be possible that the state of the sound card gets changed/reset by some program | 08:24 |
ALexia | frost_, you could possibly make a script to run that would do that automatically but im not sure what a permanent fix would be | 08:24 |
myownserver | Knick: I just don't even bother. If it's not a WEP network, I leave it alone. | 08:24 |
Knick | myownserver heh, you'd like living here. I'm surrounded by unsecured networks. I wouldn't join one though ... | 08:25 |
myownserver | Over half of the ones I do get on haven't paid their bills. | 08:25 |
dotblank | I would just goto my neighbor and say.. hey can I use your wirelless? | 08:25 |
myownserver | Turns out I'm not the only poor one. | 08:25 |
Knick | b0red then use your /etc/profile file | 08:25 |
toupeiro | Alexia: resource control. If someone started up a bunch of applications, then just left their connections open for weeks with the applications idling, but taking up memory, I would want to know. Or for example, someone is logged in at the console, and I need to reboot the machine, it would be nice to know how long that console has been doing nothing so I can quickly determine if someone is there working or if it was a forgotten login. | 08:25 |
DJNomad | can anyone help me set up evolution or thunderbird to get my hotmail and which one do you recommend? | 08:25 |
frost_ | ALexia: Yes I have messed around with alsamixer (more than I ever wanted to) this problem is not the same as the "alsamixermutesolution", and a script would probably not work since i have to reboot after disabling my drivers before enabling them again. | 08:25 |
Ben64 | people that go on my network end up with a "surprise" on their computer | 08:26 |

ALexia | frost_, well im sorry, i tried | 08:26 |
toupeiro | boohbah: its a bit more complicated than that. :( | 08:26 |
Ben64 | darlek: np, glad it worked for you | 08:26 |
frost_ | dotblank: what do you mean ? | 08:26 |
ALexia | toupeiro, give me just a second to think about this | 08:26 |
Knick | b0red local ones *will* override it | 08:26 |
toupeiro | just because an login is idle doesnt mean an application is | 08:27 |
poent | yeah ALexia you can pm me | 08:27 |
myownserver | To better explain why I was asking about BIND and DNS servers, I own the website http://www.myownserver.info , which is a personal web server how-to and the goal is keeping it free or extremely cheap. | 08:27 |
toupeiro | this is always my delima | 08:27 |
bullgard4 | How is the number '15' called in the DEB program package name "linux-image-2.6.28-15-generic"? | 08:27 |
dotblank | frost_: I dont think you should have to reboot just to re-initialize drivers | 08:27 |
Andy80 | please correct me if I'm wrong.... neither here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDeveloperWeek nor here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDeveloperWeek you wrote the damn f*** IRC channel/server where those classes are going to take place :P | 08:27 |
unixhag | I want to get a list of available packages, like synaptic gives me, but from a terminal command. After browsing with less(1), I might want to see brief descriptions of a couple of packages. Do I really need a GUI for that?? | 08:27 |
frost_ | dotblank: like restart alsa + | 08:27 |
frost_ | ? | 08:27 |
Boohbah | toupeiro: use ps with the 'f' flag to see child processes of that user's login shell, including start and idle time | 08:27 |
Knick | myownserver everything you want to do can be done. I did it for free for 5 or so years. Start reading ;) | 08:27 |
leaf-sheep | unixhag: "aptitude search pidgin" | 08:27 |
dotblank | frost_: have you done that? no I mean the actually kernel module. try lsmod and finding it | 08:28 |
leaf-sheep | unixhag: When you want to read information on the package, "aptitude show pidgin" | 08:28 |
Knick | myownserver BIND seems complicated, but the actual configuration the average DNS server uses is minimal | 08:28 |
Knick | myownserver hell, ubuntu probably has a BIND GUI | 08:28 |
unixhag | leaf-sheep: handy, thanks. How do I browse through, say, text editors? | 08:28 |
myownserver | Knick: I've got a big thick book on BIND and DNS, I'm just trying to find if it's worth spending the time to learn and write about or if it's really irrelevant content for what my site is about. | 08:28 |
frost_ | dotblank: Im not at home now, but could you explain what it does ? i can probably predict the result depending on what you do | 08:29 |
unixhag | s/how/can | 08:29 |
Boohbah | myownserver: bind and dns are really simple | 08:29 |
leaf-sheep | unixhag: What do you mean? | 08:29 |
Knick | myownserver I have a big BIND book too. Never used it. Like I said, the config is usually very simple. O'Reilly needs to cover all configs :) | 08:29 |
toupeiro | boohbah: in my experience, thats not always been accurate when I've used that for criteria. for example, it shows gnome-do as being idle for 5 days for me, when I just used it 30 seconds ago. | 08:29 |
unixhag | aptitude search spreadsheet ?? | 08:29 |
dotblank | frost_: well usually with a sound card it loads a module into the kernel and then all these other modules load dependant on it | 08:29 |
myownserver | Yeah, O'Reilly is the book I have on it. | 08:30 |
Knick | myownserver heh, how did I know? | 08:30 |
Wazzzaaa | ALexia: srry, was away for 1 min. I now use top. And I am curious if/how I could get some more info about why the process is slurping so much CPU. I'll look into the /proc/(pid) | 08:30 |
Knick | myownserver mostly by the confusion ;) | 08:30 |
dotblank | frost_: I would just rmmod and inmod the module to re-insert the driver | 08:30 |
myownserver | I've read a few chapters of it now and now I'm thinking it's way too much. | 08:30 |
Boohbah | toupeiro: you are correct, ps only shows the start time | 08:30 |
leaf-sheep | unixhag: Well, if you want to search for package (AND DESCRIPTION), you'd like to use "apt-cache search editor" | 08:30 |
frost_ | dotblank: would the effect be like rebooting ? | 08:30 |
dotblank | insmod* | 08:30 |
dotblank | frost_: pretty much | 08:30 |
unixhag | leaf-sheep: fantastic, thanks very much | 08:30 |
myownserver | That's why I ask what is it's practicality. | 08:30 |
leaf-sheep | unixhag: Maybe this, "apt-cache search text | grep editor" | 08:31 |
Knick | myownserver if I were motivated I'd dig up my notes on my BIND config. Maybe next time. But, believe me, it's fairly basic and a day of reading will tell you if you need it or not. | 08:31 |
frost_ | dotblank: Then it might work, and if that work, how would i build a script for it ? | 08:31 |
toupeiro | boohbah: so I would almost need something that looks at processes, start times, sleep times, and CPU times | 08:31 |
myownserver | If it's irrelevant for a personal web server, then there's other things I could write about that would be more beneficial to my readers. | 08:31 |
Knick | myownserver my gut feeling is you don't | 08:31 |
dotblank | frost_: btw im curious what version of ubuntu are you running because my bro has a usb X-FI and works perfectly out of box | 08:31 |
toupeiro | boohbah: but I've been pretty unsuccessful thus far | 08:31 |
DJNomad | nevermind on the email thing ,I found the answer,I was stumped when I couldn't installhotway in terminal,which is no longer needed | 08:31 |
Boohbah | toupeiro: http://linuxshellaccount.blogspot.com/2009/03/finding-processs-idle-time-on-linux-and.html | 08:31 |
joshstrobl | anyone know any good programming software for Linux that is similar to Window's Visual Basics? Meaning like I could design the actual program then work on the coding | 08:32 |
Boohbah | joshstrobl: there is kdevelop if you like kde and qt | 08:32 |
Knick | joshstrobl please, never mention VB on here again. Thank you. | 08:32 |
unixhag | leaf-sheep: I didn't know about aptitude or apt-cache, but now I do I can find docs to fill in any missing details, thanks | 08:32 |
frost_ | dotblank: 9.04 KDE4.3, but the result is the same on gdm, and i have the creative drivers. which works very good. this problem occurs on other drivers aswell | 08:32 |
joshstrobl | Knick> i will if I like | 08:32 |
DigitalKiwi | what's the gtk one... | 08:32 |
leaf-sheep | joshstrobl: Maybe Anjuta? | 08:32 |
Knick | joshstrobl but, you can use any of the QT and (ugh) GTK+ libraries to do what I think you are asking | 08:32 |
DigitalKiwi | the gui creator | 08:33 |
frost_ | dotblank: and i dont have a usb card. | 08:33 |
Knick | joshstrobl VB isn't a programming language | 08:33 |
Knick | it's an abomination | 08:33 |
frost_ | dotblank: could you please make me an example script for doing this ? | 08:33 |
myownserver | Knick: The two ways I've seen it perhaps being beneficial is when using WordPressMU, in order for the users to have a subdomain blog like wordpress.com, you have to have a wildcard in the zone setting, which there's really no other way to do unless you have your own DNS server for that domain. | 08:33 |
dotblank | frost are you running pulseaudio? | 08:33 |
iskywalker | hi! | 08:33 |
frost_ | dotblank: ofc not | 08:33 |

iskywalker | i was wondering, if there is a way to start a process from a distance machine an pass it to the local | 08:34 |
myownserver | Secondly would be multiple email accounts. I still have yet to learn how to run a successful email server, which for now I just simply avoid. | 08:34 |
Knick | myownserver you can do it, but you'll have a longer domain name, like "theirdomain.mydomain.DDNSdomain.com" | 08:34 |
DigitalKiwi | glade for gtk gui | 08:34 |
Knick | myownserver heh, the email server is the easiest part! | 08:34 |
toupeiro | boohbah: good find. I've been massaging a perl script that sort of follows the same logic but I haven't been as successful. I'll play with this a bit. I googled around for a few days on this and couldn't find anything this close. thank you! | 08:34 |
joshstrobl | "joshstrobl VB isn't a programming language" I didn't say it was a programming language I said it was a software | 08:34 |
dotblank | frost_: can you meet me in #alsa | 08:35 |
poent | whats the equivalent of device manager within ubuntu? | 08:35 |
Knick | joshstrobl whatever. Good luck. | 08:35 |
myownserver | Knick: The email server never would send emails. I'm not really understanding of SMTP or POP3. | 08:35 |

ALexia | spo, brasero is good | 08:58 |

craCkpot | i noticed when it boots ubuntu it boots from (hd0,0), which is technically my windows hdd, so perhaps a remap? | 08:58 |
ALexia | spo, or k3b, k3b seems to work better sometimes than brasero | 08:58 |
George21 | K link too install on a USB flash drive? | 08:58 |
Knick | George21 the reason Ubuntu is a good distro is that you'll get a lot of help here. Whereas on gentoo or slackware your mileage may vary lol | 08:58 |
craCkpot | ubuntu is by far the most "noob-friendly" distro i have used | 08:59 |

craCkpot | i've used red hat 9, suse (many version), slackware, and now ubuntu, and ubuntu wins by a long shot | 09:00 |
Jyxt | Knick: no the reason that ubuntu is a good distro is that most of the work is done for you | 09:00 |
=== Guest45352 is now known as rudeimouse |
Jyxt | whereas gentoo etc you do alot of the work yourself | 09:00 |
Knick | craCkpot always stick with the debian based distro! | 09:00 |
Knick | Jyxt no, for me it's because it's debian based. Actually, I don't even use ubuntu, I use crunchbang :) | 09:00 |
xim_ | yeah ubuntu is pretty much ready to go out of the box, id say its as easy as a macintosh, you dont have to learn much to do most things, when you run into problems which everyone does, ask in here | 09:00 |
craCkpot | so i'm thinking i need to remap my hdd's | 09:01 |
purplenurple | depends on what your doing ... arch/freebsd are much more efficient on servers than ubuntu | 09:01 |
purplenurple | or debian | 09:01 |
Jyxt | ubuntu is easy to use, lots of neat gui's...gentoo on the other hand takes a bit of technical know how and alot of command line | 09:01 |

Flannel | eMyller: It'll work, yes. Just make sure you have the proper metapackages. | 09:13 |
spo | for ripping dvds , you guys use k9copy ... is that the only one that can rip encrypted dvds? | 09:13 |
purplenurple | we'll I use us sources so I don't know .. depends on where you're at | 09:13 |
craCkpot | ALexia: were you able to find anything? remapping the drives via device.map didn't work. | 09:14 |
DigitalKiwi | spo: dvd::rip, acidrip, dvd95, depending on what you want...are all decent | 09:14 |
DigitalKiwi | <3 k9copy | 09:14 |
fuzzybunny | hey guys is anyone really good at troubleshooting networking problems for some reason my brother cannot connect to my machine until he pings me or until I add his MAC address into the arp table. | 09:14 |
JarlG | Hello! Does anyone know of a good, working undervolting guide for Ubuntu 9.04 with an Intel Centrino Duo (T7200, I think)? Thanks! | 09:14 |
eMyller | Flannel: metapackages? well, everything is being downloaded from there, i still have nothing here. dunno exactly what u're talking about | 09:14 |

DigitalKiwi | doubt you'll notice any difference with those other ones but whatever | 09:16 |

Brownout | tuxattack: security.ubuntu.com is hammered, try another mirror | 09:19 |
eMyller | tuxattack: some servers are overloaded. use another mirror | 09:19 |
Brownout | some of them don't have the upgraded kernels yet, I just tried nl and it has | 09:20 |
tuxattack | okay i was just checking, one computer won't download anything and the other has installed the kernel 2 times | 09:20 |
peterodactyl | hi | 09:21 |
peterodactyl | can anyone help me with some username/password problems im having? | 09:21 |
peterodactyl | i upgraded to hardy heron and when i restarted and went to log back in | 09:22 |
tuxattack | whats the problem | 09:22 |
linuxson25 | Anyone else having problems updating from Ubuntu reps? | 09:22 |
peterodactyl | ubuntu wont recognise my username or password | 09:22 |
tuxattack | rep its a server issue | 09:22 |
peterodactyl | so ive had to log in with a live cd to try to figure the problem out | 09:22 |
DigitalKiwi | linuxson25: yes, use a different mirror | 09:22 |
huuh | can someone advice flash bootable linux with a lot of software ( + compiz/beryl/emerald/googleearth etc) ? | 09:23 |
linuxson25 | DigitalKiwi: Which one could I use? | 09:23 |
tuxattack | do you have cap lock on or are you sure youre hitting the right keys | 09:23 |
peterodactyl | caps lock isnt on | 09:23 |
peterodactyl | and i know im hitting the right keys | 09:23 |
peterodactyl | i tried about 50 times | 09:23 |
leaf-sheep | 50 Times? Wow. | 09:23 |
peterodactyl | maybe a bit of hyperbole | 09:24 |
peterodactyl | but i tried a damn sight more than once | 09:24 |
spo | && works similar as ";" ? | 09:24 |
=== jon is now known as Guest73770 |
peterodactyl | ? | 09:24 |
leaf-sheep | && execute the next command right away where ; will await until the first command are completed. | 09:25 |
tuxattack | you didn't change your usrname and pssword in root messing around in the terminal | 09:25 |
linuxson25 | Someone maybe give me the URL to a new update mirror for Ubuntu? | 09:25 |
=== majuk1 is now known as majuk |
peterodactyl | i havent done anything in the terminal | 09:25 |
peterodactyl | just let package manager upgrade me | 09:25 |
peterodactyl | and when it requested i restart | 09:25 |
peterodactyl | i did | 09:25 |
peterodactyl | and then was stuck | 09:26 |
peterodactyl | at that irritatingly neutral screen | 09:26 |
tuxattack | what did you upgrade from | 09:26 |
peterodactyl | 7.10 | 09:26 |
peterodactyl | gutsy gibbon or whatever | 09:26 |
tuxattack | to 8.10 | 09:26 |
peterodactyl | yeah | 09:26 |
tuxattack | not sure | 09:27 |
tuxattack | if you are going with 8.10 i would almost recommend 9.04 instead anyway | 09:28 |
tuxattack | so download and do a clean install | 09:28 |
peterodactyl | im on a live cd | 09:28 |
peterodactyl | so i cant | 09:28 |
linuxson25 | Anyone know of the top of their heads the url for another upgrade mirror. One I am using is timing out | 09:28 |
=== jon is now known as Guest11550 |
peterodactyl | well i guess i could reinstall 7.10 off this cd | 09:29 |
=== Guest11550 is now known as rodimus |
peterodactyl | then download 9.04 | 09:29 |
peterodactyl | burn to cd | 09:29 |
peterodactyl | and install | 09:29 |
tuxattack | sounds like the best bet | 09:29 |
peterodactyl | but i really dont wanna | 09:29 |
peterodactyl | fuck | 09:29 |
peterodactyl | that sucks | 09:29 |
peterodactyl | thanks for the help | 09:29 |
FloodBot3 | peterodactyl: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 09:29 |
linuxson25 | 9,04 is cool | 09:29 |
linuxson25 | I am running it | 09:29 |
ALexia | 9.04 is cool when it works right | 09:29 |
linuxson25 | yeah :) | 09:30 |
linuxson25 | But most of it does | 09:30 |
tuxattack | 9.04 doesn't seem to be stable on my system for the most part | 09:30 |
linuxson25 | Nice hardware support | 09:30 |
tuxattack | i just wish creative would update their drivers | 09:30 |
linuxson25 | Tell me about it | 09:30 |
ghostknife | I'm trying to setup a PPTP vpn. Usually I this via the network manager, but I'm unable to do it now. When I open the "manual" configuration, the Unlock button is disabled. Any ideas? | 09:30 |
ALexia | ghostknife, i just saw this posted in the ubuntu brainstorm site a day ago | 09:31 |
ALexia | ghostknife, let me look it up and ill let you know the fix | 09:31 |
=== Someone67` is now known as Someone67 |
linuxson25 | New URL for update mirror??? | 09:32 |
ALexia | ghostknife, you need to install the vpn protocols first | 09:33 |
cousin_mario | hello | 09:33 |
ALexia | there working on a way to make that more obvious in future releases but for now the fix is to manually add the protocols before setting up your vpn | 09:33 |
* cousin_mario just upgraded the kernel, but /proc/sys/vm/mmap_min_addr is still set to 0 | 09:33 |
ghostknife | ALexia: but the Unlock button is disabled. I can't even reconfigure anything | 09:33 |
ghostknife | ALexia: and I have the PPTP stuff installed. It used to work before | 09:34 |
ALexia | ghostknife, does this sound like the problem your having? http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/20820/ | 09:34 |
ALexia | ghostknife, pm me and let me know | 09:34 |
Liquidity_C | anyone else having trouble connecting to security.ubuntu.com ( 91.189.88.46 ) ?? | 09:35 |
DigitalKiwi | Liquidity_C: yes, use a different mirror | 09:35 |
Liquidity_C | DigitalKiwi, know any good mirror? | 09:35 |
poent | okay so my video driver just ate itself. I can see the screen refreshing itself while moving windows and i am unable to open the ati control center. Any thoughts on how to fix it? | 09:35 |
DigitalKiwi | nope Liquidity_C | 09:35 |
Liquidity_C | DigitalKiwi, can't I just wait and assume that it gets fixed in time? | 09:36 |
DigitalKiwi | probably | 09:36 |
linuxson25 | Anyone know of any good mirrors to update from? | 09:36 |
DigitalKiwi | is there some pressing update you need or installing something? | 09:36 |
Liquidity_C | DigitalKiwi, not the first time this happens and it usually sorts itself in time | 09:36 |
DigitalKiwi | apparently there's a new kernel and it's stressing the server or something | 09:36 |
Liquidity_C | DigitalKiwi, no just the recomended latest headers and generic kernel stuff | 09:37 |
tuxattack | poent i would driver uninstalling it and reinstalling it | 09:37 |
tuxattack | i can't type lol unistall the driver then reinstall | 09:37 |
bishopek | Hello! Does anyone know how to check the WWN of my FC card with qla2xxx driver? | 09:38 |

ALexia | ghostknife, did you look at that url? | 09:38 |
=== greyz is now known as greyz|nn |
linuxson25 | Yeah, been having the same problem with the mirror. Saw its got new kernel headers in the update | 09:40 |
blip- | wasn't there some package that automatically pulled in all the requirements for a lamp stack on 8.10 ? | 09:40 |
hawaiihim | hello | 09:40 |
linuxson25 | Need that, cause I had problems with my newest kernel, ended up deleting it. So I need to update | 09:40 |
linuxson25 | This going to be sorted soon? | 09:41 |
blip- | boo | 09:41 |
Liquidity_C | https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archivemirrors <--- for those who can't wait for the ubuntu mirror to get back up! | 09:42 |
hawaiihim | I have a peculiar question about network. When can I go for assistance? | 09:42 |
linuxson25 | Thanx Liquidity_C!! Appreciate | 09:42 |
Liquidity_C | linuxson25, any time | 09:43 |
blip- | hawaiihim, maybe here or in #networking | 09:43 |
hawaiihim | its on ubuntu | 09:43 |

vld | yes | 09:44 |
=== Mud is now known as Mud|afk |
blip- | nice. I tried 4.1 and then 4.2... but eventually I just couldn't cope with not having the speed of navigation I wanted... so switched over to xfce | 09:45 |
blip- | the plasmoids thing is just a mess. nice, but so messy | 09:45 |
hawaiihim | thank you. (I am using Ubuntu 9.04) Recently I have not been able to access the internet in ubuntu... yet I can access it via XP running in virtualbox. That is how I am talking to you now, via a virtual machine. | 09:47 |
Liquidity_C | hawaiihim, wireless or wire? | 09:48 |
hawaiihim | wire | 09:48 |
Boohbah | hawaiihim: what did you change to break it? | 09:48 |
L3dPlatedLinux | how could i find if something else ( left over config files or something is blocking a port) ? | 09:48 |
hawaiihim | nothing to my knowledge | 09:48 |
Boohbah | L3dPlatedLinux: what? | 09:48 |
Liquidity_C | hawaiihim, unless you have not already, match the network settings on ubuntu to the settings in the VirtBox. Not uncommon to miss som minor thing | 09:49 |
L3dPlatedLinux | idk I am having trouble with port 21 and nothing is to what i can find is blocking it but no go now with that said i have port 20 and 21 forwarded to the ftp in question | 09:50 |
Silurian | ok i have kubuntu installed on a pc of mine and now i would like to put ubuntu server on instead the problem is the cd won't boot any ideas] | 09:51 |
QuantumKaos | hi guys, how do i find out what wireless card driver i have installed? | 09:51 |
hawaiihim | How does one go about doing that | 09:51 |
Liquidity_C | hawaiihim, just compare the details on the VirtBox (ip, mask, gateway etc.) to the settings on your ubuntu machine | 09:52 |
Liquidity_C | QuantumKaos, System > Administration > hardwaredrivers | 09:53 |
hawaiihim | hmmm, according to my machine I do not have eth0 | 09:55 |
Liquidity_C | Silurian, check the boot order on your machine, usually by pressing F12 or something at bootup | 09:55 |
Silurian | i did check that and cdrom is first | 09:56 |
Silurian | is there a way to start the install from inside kubuntu | 09:56 |
spo | there are many dvd rippers, but k9copy is the onyl one that can rip encrypted dvds, right? | 09:56 |
Liquidity_C | Silurian, bad cd? does other cd's work? | 09:56 |
ALexia | spo thats not ture | 09:56 |
ALexia | spo thats not true | 09:56 |
spo | alexia, then what else can | 09:56 |
=== jon is now known as Guest43894 |
Liquidity_C | hawaiihim, what? where did you find that? | 09:57 |

=== Guest43894 is now known as sonroger |
Silurian | but this is the second one for server i have made | 09:57 |
Liquidity_C | Silurian, try making a new cd first, burn it slowly, sounds like something weird with the cd to me from here | 09:57 |
Silurian | could be | 09:57 |
Silurian | now i need to go buy another cd | 09:57 |
Silurian | lol | 09:57 |
Liquidity_C | Silurian, I fought with my 9.04 cd for two hours, then I made a new one burning it at low speed and it ran like a charm | 09:58 |
hawaiihim | on the taskbar there is the networking icon... when I click on that I can look at my connections. I used to eth0 but no longer | 09:58 |
Silurian | what speed you recommend | 09:58 |
ALexia | what would the command gpasswd -a random audio" do? | 09:58 |
Silurian | lowest? | 09:58 |
Liquidity_C | hawaiihim, from the same menu select 'edit connections' | 09:58 |
hawaiihim | yes | 09:59 |
llutz | ALexia: "man gpasswd" tells you | 09:59 |
Liquidity_C | Silurian, depends on the burner, better safe then sorry though, i often use 24x for important install cd's | 09:59 |
ALexia | llutz, i know im just being lazy i didnt want to read through the manual | 09:59 |
ALexia | llutz, lol | 09:59< |
