[01:03] 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.

[01:14] same with circlemud :P [01:14] while nethack is an actual game [01:14] If the DVD drive showed up I would, it's not there until I have permission to mount it [01:14] m1dlg: edit your /etc/fstab to allow users to mount the drive? [01:15] Oh, I see, i misunderstood your problem, sorry [01:15] 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] jyxt - how? [01:15] spo: not sure if nethack is even designed to be beat :) [01:15] 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 [01:16] marcelo_: afaik -Wall should warn about all the stuff it can [01:16] If anyone has some time i am having a few Eclipse Problems. [01:16] m1dlg: do nano /etc/fstab and look for a line like [01:16] /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom auto noauto,ro 0 0 [01:16] heater: whats the problem? [01:16] marcelo_: although I'm not sure a type conversion is supposed to give a warning.. unless it's implicit [01:16] something like that...and add: users to the noauto,ro part so it looks like noauto,ro,users [01:17] hi everybody ! [01:17] 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.

[01:50] Jyxt: compiz 'is' a window manager. [01:50] I don't want to change the desktop [01:50] I want to increase the screen size [01:50] tommy_: what are you trying to...

[01:50] 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] MsMaco: he's got a laptop, resolution is set too small, won't let him increase. The screen has a border because of it. [01:51] it's 800x600 or 640x480 [01:51] 800x600 is the only one that works [01:51] Ben64: thanks for the summary [01:51] and I'm framed on all 4 sides by an ince [01:51] inch [01:51] wasn't sure if there was a way I could manually adjust this or not [01:51] i believe that laptop supports a max of 1024x768 [01:51] tommy_: if you run "xrandr" in a terminal (appliations ->accessories -> terminal) what resolutions does it list? [01:51] it does [01:51] its one or the other not both...why im asking if i could run compiz under xfce...running xubuntu on my desktop [01:51] Ben64: also good to know! [01:51] let me check and get back to you in one sec [01:51] Jyxt: Most likely, yes [01:51] I'm trying to install ubuntu and ubiquity is getting stuck at the "partition editor" stage. The progress bar pops up and loads completely but the screen never changes from the keyboard layou [01:52] i'm just not an expert on modelines [01:52] or i'd have it fixed in a second === richard is now known as Guest59384 [01:52] it says max of 800x600 [01:52] tommy_: ok, does it say the refresh rate? [01:52] I have another computer identicle to this one right next to me with xp on it [01:52] 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 :) [01:53] let me see what the res is on that one [01:53] refresh rate is 60hz [01:53] in linux mint there is an option "Screen Resolution" - is that present in 8.04? [01:53] Ben64: man xrandr ;) its what im going off of now [01:53] mdg: i tested my fix btw even with wifi off in bios ubuntu still powers up wifi gotta love overrides [01:53] 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? [01:53] Jyxt: i'm not having the issue :) [01:53] gogeta: that's great to know! [01:53] mdg: the trouble is that X doesnt recognize 1024x768 as being possible on that screen. we're going to convince it that it is [01:53] hey, can anybody here help me find out what my machine dedicated ip address is if i install ubuntu onto it? also im using a wireless router could anybody help me with this also? [01:53] Ben64: oh...hehe hard to follow sometimes i here :P [01:53] im looking for a tool to create a customized ubuntu live-cd [01:53] anyone know what font and filter this was made with? it was made in gimp. http://img508.imageshack.us/img508/7517/unknownn.jpg [01:54] Hello #ubuntu! What do the permissions on a file need to be in order for CRON to run it? [01:54] mdg: i got a screen resolution tool in system -> prrferances (or was it admin) here. [01:54] Jyxt: np i know. 1200-1500 people in one channel is a lot [01:54] mdg: yea great for compaq users who cant go in bios and fix it [01:54] <_cb> Basic NoMachine (freeNx) question. Install it on Ubuntu Server or Ubuntu Destkop. If I install it on Ubuntu Server do I need to install a gui (Am familiar with Citrix but that may be the wrong frame of reference) [01:54] Guest729: ifconfig [01:54] Guest729: sudo ifconfig will tell you your IP? [01:54] NFischer: remastersys would do [01:54] alexnet: a script would need to be 'executable' 'chmod +x whatever' [01:54] Guest729: but thats not a 'dedicated' IP...your router would handle that [01:54] 1024x768 is what XP is running at [01:54] tommy_: ok try this: xrandr --newmode "1024x768_60.00" 63.50 1024 1072 1176 1328 768 771 775 798 -hsync +vsync [01:54] and it fills the entire screen [01:54] nmvictor, thx [01:54] Dr_Willis, 'who' is running the script if CRON runs it? Me? [01:54] oh jeez code [01:54] I'm nervous [01:54] lol [01:54] Guest279: checkip.dyndns.org if you're looking for an internet-facing IP [01:55] copy n paste that ? [01:55] but how would i find the machine ip [01:55] tommy_: yeah [01:55] NFischer:np [01:55] k one sec, if it bombs out I'll be back in a few [01:55] ifconfig [01:55] i tryed this yesturday all it gave me was an ip that looked like 192.168.1.3 [01:55] tommy_: might need to pout quotes around "63.50 1024 1072 1176 1328 768 771 775 798 -hsync +vsync" .. im not sure [01:55] thats your machine ip [01:55] just went to the next line down [01:55] bonsoir [01:55] but [01:55] i need the internet ip [01:55] so when i install cpanel [01:56] tommy_: ok. what does xrandr call your screen? [01:56] i use http://ip:2086 [01:56] tommy_: LVDS maybe? [01:56] Guest729: do you have physical access to the machine [01:56] 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] yes [01:56] with quotes it went to the next line down [01:56] its right next to me [01:56] w/o it gave me the xrandr opts list [01:56] Guest729: then use the 192.x.x.x address [01:56] but [01:57] tommy_: ok then with quotes was right. ill have to remember that [01:57] Is there a linux tool to check ntfs partitions? [01:57] i want to turn it into a web server, so other people will need access to it aswell [01:57] Screen 0: minimum 640 x 480, current 800 x 600, maximum 800 x 600 [01:57] default connected 800x600+0+0 0mm x 0mm [01:57] 800x600 60.0* 56.0 [01:57] 640x480 60.0 [01:57] 1024x768_60.00 (0x50) 63.5MHz [01:57] h: width 1024 start 1072 end 1176 total 1328 skew 0 clock 47.8KHz [01:57] tommy_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:57] tommy_: when you run "xrandr" alone what name does it give for the screen? [01:57] edbian: not a reliable one afaik [01:57] windows does a better job at that [01:57] tommy_: ok so its "default" ... alright [01:57] Ben64: Thanks [01:57] floodbot got mad at me lol [01:57] tommy_: xrandr --addmode default 1024x768_60.00 [01:58] Guest729: you need your public IP? [01:58] 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] i guess so [01:58] no response [01:58] tommy_: that should associate the 1024x768 with your screen [01:58] so other people can access my server [01:58] tommy_: no response = no error [01:58] Guest729: you can do a traceroute to google [01:58] but, im behind a wireless router [01:58] traceroute www.google.com [01:58] 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] tommy_: then "xrandr --mode 1024x768_60.00" [01:58] Guest729: then the ip would be the same as your ip [01:58] how do i link the 2 together? [01:58] hi [01:58] and the 2nd or 3rd ip that shows is yhour public [01:58] tommy_: and that *should* switch you to that one [01:58] Guest729: whatismyipaddress.com [01:58] ok wait [01:58] yes ive tryed that bit [01:58] after typing xrandr --addmode default 1024x768_60.00 [01:58] i got that bit [01:59] but i somehow need to link the to together [01:59] d1gital: how about reinstalling, i have wine working correctly in my ubuntu 8.10, are you in 9.04? [01:59] it gave me an option for 1024 x 768 in the screen res config [01:59] Guest729: link what two together? [01:59] Guest729: you need to setup port forwarding in your router then [01:59] but when I clicked it and hit apply nothing changed [01:59] i dont no how to do that but, people have said port forward, but i dont no how to [01:59] tommy_: that was the point :) [01:59] lol [01:59] tommy_: aww [01:59] we're moving in the right direction [01:59] Guest729:you need to forward port 80 to that 192.x.x.x address. [01:59] Guest729: and thats dependnat on your router...which is? [01:59] well, opera is now working, i got sound on youtube, but firefox dont. [01:59] my router is a netgear [01:59] tommy_: if you do the "xrandr --mode 1024x768_60.00" does it give any errors? [01:59] how do i use the same plugin of flash on opera to firefox? [01:59] i dont no how to port forward [02:00] could somebody help me with this [02:00] ? [02:00] tommy_: thats the command line equivalent to the screen config gui [02:00] Guest729: what kind of router do you have [02:00] Guest729: why run a server and cpanel on a home based server? [02:00] Ben64: development? [02:00] nmvictor: yes i am using 9.04 however i am trying to install Exaile media player.. not wine. [02:00] no it gives me ntohing but a > on the next line down [02:00] because its got to run a few websites [02:00] and i like cpanel [02:00] Guest729: see this link [02:00] http://kbserver.netgear.com/kb_web_files/N101145.asp [02:00] like it's waiting for more input [02:00] i have a netgear @ Jyxt [02:00] yep [02:00] Guest729: but i doubt your connection would be fast enough to support much more than a small website [02:01] once there just click the link for your specific model...then follow directions [02:01] d1gital: how did you install exaile? [02:01] really [02:01] seems fast to me [02:01] msmaco: all it did was give me a > prompt on the next line down [02:01] tommy_: maybe if you say: xrandr --output default --mode 1024x768_60.00 [02:01] i have a 100mbps [02:01] mdg: sudo apt-get install exaile [02:01] Guest729: somehow i doubt that [02:02] thats the plan i took out [02:02] notte a tutti [02:02] d1gital: is this a fresh install - have you updated and added Medibuntu repos? [02:02] 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] msmaco: xrandr: Configure crtc 0 failed [02:02] Guest729: damn. my company's web server isnt even on 100mbps... i have my doubts. [02:03] Just now i rebooted into Ubuntu 9.04 and its x server does not start [02:03] What to do ? [02:03] tommy_: oh boo. :( lets try going to #ubuntu-x [02:03] 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] 1 sec [02:03] some applet error it shows if i do startx [02:03] tommy_: theyre the graphics driver guys [02:03] be right there [02:03] I think the "easiest" way to solve problems with resolutions not being recognized is still adding a modeline in xorg.conf ツ [02:03] so [02:03] mdg: fresh install. i have not added those repos.. i'll look into that. [02:03] i have 50mbps [02:03] Guest729: http://portforward.com/ [02:03] would this not be fast enough [02:04] d1gital: probably best to let it get all its updates - 200+ [02:04] Guest729: see this link and follow directions [02:04] http://kbserver.netgear.com/kb_web_files/N101145.asp [02:04] how do i make compiz start automaticly when i boot? [02:04] it's emptt [02:04] empty [02:04] kermit: add it to sessions [02:04] 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 ? [02:04] Jyxt ive tryed those links, but, i cant even get into the router ive tryed both passwords it just wont let me in [02:05] what would i do now? [02:05] kermit: PM me [02:05] 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] d1gital: licensing issues and stuff [02:05] kermit: sorry, to Admin>Services [02:06] someone help me.. [02:06] 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] Ben64: oh i see, kinda like the whole Iceweasel thing. that drove me crazy when i first installed debian. [02:06] Lunixed: how long you been running 9.04 on this computer [02:06] 10 days [02:06] mdg [02:06] d1gital: yeah kinda [02:06] but it's easy enough to add medibuntu [02:07] and sooo worth it [02:07] anybody no what i can do? [02:07] ive tryed both passwords none work [02:07] It was workign perfecly fine till before 30 mins mdg [02:07] Guest729: reset router [02:07] Lunixed: what did you do before re-booting? [02:07] and that will work fine? [02:07] kermit: i think System>Preference>Sessions is more editable [02:07] nothing..was doing my project in Netbeans [02:07] it will set everything back to default [02:07] including passwords [02:07] ok [02:07] thanx [02:07] I think there should be an option when you boot to chose the last good configuration... [02:07] nmvictor: i dont have 'sessions' [02:07] 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? [02:08] Lunixed: Why did you reboot? [02:08] wildnfree: hello :) [02:08] To test the program in windows [02:08] MsMaco: Hi there! [02:08] kermit: whats your system, ubuntu jaunty or intrepid? [02:08] nmvictor: jaunty [02:08] Is there any way to get the last known good configuration [02:08] ? [02:08] Also, I run grub as root, in Ubuntu it picks up hd1, but not when I boot up :s [02:08] excuse me... does someone know how to start the installer of the cd rom from ubuntu 8.10 instead open it? [02:08] hey guys [02:09] Lunixed: What configuration did you do in your last session in Ubuntu 9.04? [02:09] kermit: it's session preferences now [02:09] Um_cara_qualquer: the live CD? [02:09] i updated my kernel today to 2.6.28-15 and my nvidia restricted driver stopped working [02:09] kermit System>Preference>Sessions should be available. The main menu [02:09] nothing much...installed lamp-server [02:09] yes [02:09] It's "Start-Up apps" now [02:09] mdg: i added that repo, did apt-get update; apt-get upgrade and didnt get any updates.. am i missing something here? [02:09] kermit: Oops, I meant startup applications [02:10] my rc.local isnt getting run, it's in the etc/rc.d .. i dont understand why [02:10] can we watch a movie here on this ubuntu os? [02:10] mdg : installed lamp-server only [02:10] Hilikus: you need to update nvidia with kernel [02:10] d1gital: did you get the medibuntu key? [02:10] mdg: yes [02:10] Ben64: ok and how do i do that? [02:11] install vlc, mplayer gxine or codecs for totem and you wont have to ask that [02:11] !compiz [02:11] Compiz (compositing window manager), for a howto see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager and more help #compiz [02:11] Hilikus: how did you do it last time [02:11] can i have my last known good configuration in ubuntu 9.04 ? [02:11] hi, i just reset my router, neither passwords (password , or 1234 work) [02:11] no what do i do [02:11] ? [02:11] Ben64: iirc last kernel update it just worked [02:11] 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] d1gital: there should be a log file in the update program to tell you what was updated and when [02:11] Lunixed: You need to edit the file that stores what applets you have loaded. [02:11] 600* [02:11] Hilikus: i mean, how did you install nvidia [02:11] Lunixed: PM me :) [02:12] Hilikus: if you did it through synaptic, it should have done it all for you [02:12] eggy: did someone help you dual boot issues? [02:12] Screen 0: minimum 640 x 480, current 800 x 600, maximum 1024 x 768 [02:12] Hilikus: if you installed it yourself from the file at nvidia.com, you will need to do that again [02:12] it's an option now, I just don't know how to switch to it [02:12] no, i didn't install it manually. it was from the repo [02:12] hi, i just reset my router, neither passwords (password , or 1234 work) [02:12] tommy_: try CTRL+ALT+- [02:12] wat now [02:12] tommy_: on the numpad [02:12] ? [02:12] 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. [02:13] it's a laptop there's no num pad lol [02:13] mike@vera:~$ sudo cat /var/log/apt/term.log | grep exa [02:13] Selecting previously deselected package exaile. [02:13] Unpacking exaile (from .../exaile_0.2.14-0ubuntu2_amd64.deb) ... [02:13] Setting up exaile (0.2.14-0ubuntu2) ... [02:13] d1gital: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:13] yes there is, use function keys or whatever [02:13] whoops! I didn't get that reply to Lunixed quite in time. :-( [02:14] i cycled through it a few times [02:14] nothing bigger than what I've got now though [02:14] tommy_: it went smaller though? [02:14] yep [02:14] hmm [02:14] wildnfree: I pm'd him [02:14] eggy: http:pastebin/f3ff536cf [02:15] should I see what it does if I connect an external monitor? [02:15] i think i'm going back to commandline mplayer. never gave me any problems. exaile wont run and rhythmbox just sucks. [02:15] edbian: thanks - I can't type fast enough for some ;-) [02:15] d1gital: have you tried moc? [02:15] Ahh.....someone told me to pm on the main chat....Please I forgot your nick...Sorry tell me again :) [02:16] where is the file that holds the data for what applets are in the panel? [02:16] .gnome2? [02:16] mdg: i have not [02:16] tommy_: external may require booting with it plugged in [02:16] i'm so lost [02:16] edbian, you right? [02:16] moc= music on console [02:16] yeah I think it does for this model [02:16] d1gital: too bad, more info on what you've tried so far might help [02:16] edbian: some file in .gnome2 or .gconf* i imagine [02:16] d1gital: starts by typing mocp [02:16] edbian: you can remove applets through gconf-editor [02:16] MsMaco: He doesn't have GUI [02:16] and it would require me putting my battery in which I'm entirely too lazy to do [02:16] edbian: oh [02:17] edbian: ok then ... well theres a cli version... gconf-tool i think [02:17] mdg: hmm perhaps this will help diagnosing all media players on my system.. mocp tells me i have no valid sound driver [02:17] gconftool-2 [02:17] d1gital: lsmod | grep snd [02:17] d1gital: hmm..... [02:17] d1gital: any output? or just takes you backto a prompt? [02:17] d1gital: you using pulseaudio or someting else? [02:18] 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] MsMaco: 16 lines of output.. [02:18] d1gital: then youve got sound drivers [02:18] mdg: pulseaudio === hades__ is now known as dcosta [02:18] FirstSgt: fyi: mine is empty too [02:18] this is getting obnoxious [02:18] d1gital: I don't think moc can use pulse audio [02:18] d1gital: if you try "paplay" and then a music file name...hear anythig? [02:18] if it's an option why can't I switch to it now? [02:19] danbhfive: at least I know im not alone. first time i've installed apache with a blank conf :) [02:19] mdg: come to think of it, i dont think sound was working on youtube earlier either [02:19] Gaah! whats the ubuntu canada room name... [02:19] !ca [02:19] Canadian Ubuntu users can be found in #ubuntu-ca [02:19] does the fact that it lists my refresh rate for 1028x768 at 59.9?? [02:19] it's 60 for all the rest [02:19] Thanks Ubottu [02:19] tommy_: i dont think so... [02:20] Is it true that when running gnome, xorg.conf is not the only thing configuring my X server? [02:20] d1gital: if you doubleclick your sound icon on your panel bar, you can choose different options - have a look [02:20] d1gital: that's double left click [02:20] 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] funkja: hal does a fair bit [02:20] funkja: thats not really 'gnome' related. :) the newest X org stuff also uses HAL to do some autoconfiguration [02:20] I mean I was really surprised to turn this thing on and have everything working flawlessly, including the internal wifi [02:20] could someone be knowing where configuration files for vlc could be lying in my system? [02:20] hello [02:20] funkja: i can delete my xorg.conf and get a working system [02:20] only thing thats really bugging me is the display [02:20] mdg: 3 pulseaudio options, an OSS and an ALSA [02:20] Wonderful [02:21] d1gital: does sound work *at all*? [02:21] d1gital: like if you run "speaker-test" do you hear static? [02:21] is there a way to get my sed output in an array? [02:21] nmvictor: try 'locate vlc | less' [02:21] hello, everyone [02:21] nmvictor: theren theres user configs that can override the system defaults [02:21] ls [02:21] nmvictor: dpkg -L vlc [02:21] superjoel: to use in a program? well youd want your program to parse the outpt and insert the stuff into an array [02:21] anyone using Ubuntu here? please tell me if folder '/usr/lib/python' exist in jaunty [02:21] MsMaco: system->preferences->sound->test works, but speaker-test gives alsa error, unable to open slave [02:22] MsMaco, kind of.. [02:22] 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] is there an installer for windows, like wubi, that will install ubuntu to its own partition like the cd installer? [02:22] EagleScreen: i bet everyone is using ubuntu here [02:22] EagleScreen: not for me [02:22] d1gital: no.. its all got pythion#.# for the version #'s [02:22] d1gital: "ps -ef | grep pulse" oes it say pulseaudio is running? [02:22] Ben64: 'fraid not [02:22] oops that was for EagleScreen :) [02:22] folks, how can i start the installer of ubuntu 8.10 in the linux mint? [02:23] python2.4/ python2.6/ python-support/ [02:23] Um_cara_qualquer: Huh? [02:23] 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] bruce89: Dr_Willis: thanks [02:23] Um_cara_qualquer: you want to run the installer...from an already installed system? [02:23] thanks [02:23] sorry about my english :P [02:23] hackulator: you sure it's in "microphone" not "line-in" ? [02:23] let me explain beter [02:23] 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] MsMaco, The thing is that there are spaces in the values that screws up my attempts on making an array [02:23] Um_cara_qualquer: its not the english...its the "doesnt sound possible" [02:23] 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] thanks for all your help though! [02:23] Does anyone here have experience using ubuntu on a powerpc mac? [02:23] hackulator: Yes - same here. All bugs I found listed had been ignored [02:24] MsMaco: ps -ef | grep pulse gives tons of info.. ps -A | grep pulse shows 2 pulseaudio processes. [02:24] heh yeah yeah, but wait: [02:24] y2kkmac: on my old imac-dv yes.. and the experience was 'bad' :) [02:24] y2kkmac: I do! [02:24] y2kkmac: that imac is now a doorstop.. :) [02:24] d1gital: one of em is like : maco 3536 1 0 12:07 ? 00:00:16 /usr/bin/pulseaudio --start --log-target=syslog [02:24] d1gital: with your username and different pid? [02:24] :( [02:24] Ben64: I am relatively sure, and just i case I adjusted the line-in settings as well without and effect [02:24] hackulator: which Ubuntu are you using [02:24] y2kkmac: My G4 imac runs fine [02:24] Dr_Willis: what about getting it to work from an external hard drive (firewire)? [02:24] 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] wildnfree: 9.04 32 bit [02:24] hackulator: but using a mic on a line-in can do that [02:25] Um_cara_qualquer: boot from the cd [02:25] hackulator: I'm 9.04 64bit [02:25] how? [02:25] !booy [02:25] Sorry, I don't know anything about booy [02:25] !boot [02:25] 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] Um_cara_qualquer: put it in the drive and reboot [02:25] because mics and mic jacks are usually mono, while line-in is stereo. try plugging it into a different port [02:25] MsMaco: mike 3696 1 0 Aug07 ? 00:25:23 /usr/bin/pulseaudio --start [02:25] Um_cara_qualquer: you have to boot the cd [02:25] o_O could be that obvious? [02:25] 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] d1gital: ok yay [02:25] 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] 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 [02:26] hackulator: oh [02:26] y2kkmac: do you have more than one firewire port ? [02:26] haha [02:26] thx [02:26] :P [02:26] mdg: I have two [02:26] Um_cara_qualquer: your welcome :) [02:26] y2kkmac: did you try them both? [02:26] hackulator: you adjust recording volume and recording source? [02:26] 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] no, I did not, good idea [02:26] Ben64: yes [02:26] y2kkmac: plus do you clear pram first [02:27] hackulator: volume control -> File -> Change Device -> Capture [02:27] hackulator: right? [02:27] funkja: theres also the special keys on the laptop to toggle external displays you may want to try [02:27] 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] 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] mdg: that's the shut down, plug in the cable and press the power button at the same time, right? [02:27] MsMaco:... what does this mean? [02:27] funkja: cloning the display is possible, but not using both to show different things [02:27] y2kkmac: no [02:28] MsMaco: is there a way to use the updated driver in 9.04? [02:28] d1gital: it means pulseaudio is running. if you try "paplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav" does it do anything? [02:28] bruce89: ok i just need the file on which i can revert vlcs interface to default from skin [02:28] mdg: what is it? [02:28] i updated my kernel today to 2.6.28-15 and my nvidia restricted driver stopped working [02:28] funkja: its more than just the X stuff thats updated...its the kernel modesetting stuff too [02:28] MsMaco: it works. [02:28] nmvictor: I'd have thought something in home would be where that is set [02:28] anyone else have had this happen? [02:28] Ben64: not sure which menu you mean there is no "file" on my volume control panel [02:28] d1gital: ok then pulseaudio's ok [02:28] MsMaco: Right. [02:29] nmvictor: something like ~/.vlc or whatever [02:29] y2kkmac: was looking to verify - you hold down the Ctrl + Alt + R I think and it makes that chime [02:29] hackulator: double click the volume icon on the panel [02:29] funkja: maybe try 9.10 from livecd and see if that works for you? [02:29] nmvictor: user settings are in some .vlc dur in the users home dir. NOT system wide settings [02:29] mdg: okay, I'll try that [02:29] MsMaco: Okay [02:29] y2kkmac: let it do the chime 2 or 3 times before you continue on [02:29] MsMaco: Isn't it still in beta? [02:29] 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] funkja: alpha 4 [02:29] funkja: note im onlysaying to try the live cd. [02:30] recommend a good command line web browser please. [02:30] lynx [02:30] w3m [02:30] 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] NBen64: I click the volume icon and then the "volume control" button, double clikcing my volume icon just mutes the sound [02:30] evilbug: if you search the package manaer.. theres only like 3 or 4 of them. :) [02:30] Dr_Willis: so where exactly can i have innterface settings changed?and thanks bruce89 [02:30] how di i refresh my wireless connection via command line? [02:30] nmvictor: I got a .vlc dir and a 'skins' dir in .vlc [02:30] y2kkmac: its command, option , P and R keys = hold down all at the same time [02:31] Dr_Willis: i was looking through them but wasn't sure which would be better. [02:31] dtcrshr: iwconfig then wloan0 up or down. [02:31] MsMaco: Okay [02:31] wlan0 [02:31] MsMaco: Thanks. [02:31] nmvictor: theres also a .config/vlc it seems with setting files. :) [02:31] how do i stop firefox from turning all gray?, is it firefox issue or ubuntu issue? [02:31] Dr_Willis: path to .vlc directory coz i have quite a number of them [02:31] nmvictor: locate vlc | less let me find those... [02:31] Cosmic_Karma: ubunutu [02:31] nmvictor: i have a .vlc dir in the users home dir..... [02:31] nmvictor: That is what a program does when it is non-responsive. All programs have the ability to turn grey [02:31] nmvictor: i also have a vlc dir in the users .config/vlc dir [02:31] 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. [02:32] d1gital: It is not possible [02:32] wookienz, how do i turn it off? [02:32] Ben64: I click the volume icon and then the "volume control" button, double clicking my volume icon just mutes the sound [02:32] nmvictor: looks to me like thers a .config/vlc/vlcrc and vlc-qt-interface.conf file [02:32] d1gital: gnome and kde are both desktop environments. [02:32] you cant, i think it is ubuntu saying - wait a sec im busy. [02:32] thanks wonderful [02:32] 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] wookienz: [02:32] !alpha [02:32] Sorry, I don't know anything about alpha [02:32] edbian: should be able to, no? [02:32] 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. [02:33] 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] d1gital: nautilus also has a option to NOT take over the 'desktop' [02:33] Dr_Willis: thanks, let me check and get back. edbian: i dont get you [02:33] i guy [02:33] edbian: though what d1gital just said is different than what I had in mind... [02:33] how can i reinstall the nvidia driver? [02:33] Hilikus: /why/? [02:33] Running nautilus in kde, or konqueror in gnome can be 'confuseing' :) [02:33] d1gital: Well I suppose it you can run programs from both at the same time... [02:33] mdg: and then, do I just hold down option to choose the startup disk? [02:33] d1gital: It's sort of a grey area. What is "gnome" [02:34] wookienz: and how do i force the refresh on the network admin? via gui? [02:34] At the end of this sed -n 's|\(.*\)|\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] edbian: i gu [02:34] jrib: it is not working after today's upgrade to 2.6.28-15 [02:34] y2kkmac: I never booted from firewaire , but I would guess so... [02:34] im tryin to do like 5 things at once, but earlier i just had multiple instances open and fell asleep [02:34] d1gital: ? [02:34] Hilikus: "not working"? [02:34] edbian: i guess it's more of a theory question then. all i did wa run plasma from within a gnome terminal [02:34] d1gital : http://psychocats.s465.sureserver.com/ubuntu/kde [02:34] 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] dtcrshr: my limit of knowlege is via command line taking the conection up adn down using "iwconfig wlan0 down" [02:34] WHEN I GOT UP NO SCREEN SAVER AND IT WAS GOING GRAY AND THEN BACK WITHOUT ANY THING [02:34] soory [02:35] guys when i try to play a DVD in ubuntu 9.04 it comes out all scramble. why is this happening? [02:35] Hilikus: thought dkms was supposed to handle all that... how did you install it? [02:35] 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] it didnt worked, i got this: [02:35] !dvd > oshua86 [02:35] oshua86, please see my private message [02:35] 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] oshua86: make sure you have libdvdcss instaslled [02:35] instaslled/installed [02:35] iwconfig: unknown command "down" === william is now known as Guest11279 [02:35] Hilikus: system -> administration -> hardware drivers let you remove and reinstall the driver? [02:36] weird my window manager dissapeared [02:36] Cosmic_Karma: It will be a page you were viewing. [02:36] kermit: what were you using? [02:37] hi Lunixed ! [02:37] hi mdg [02:37] Cosmic_Karma: Kill all your open pages, and start up firefox clean. [02:37] 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] It was solved by just reinstalling gdm :) [02:37] what is the setting called in ubuntu to turn it off though, only did it since i ran all hardy updates [02:37] 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] mdg: it must have happened when i ran compiz [02:37] mdg: i was using gnome [02:37] Lunixed: thats good news [02:37] edbian aolved it :) [02:37] yeah :) [02:37] dtcrshr: what are your wlan deives? [02:38] deivces [02:38] Thanks! [02:38] :) [02:38] jrib: both say this driver is not activated [02:38] Hilikus: purge the appropriate nvidia-glx* package in synaptic I guess. [02:38] kermit: are you all cli right now? [02:38] Hilikus: what version of ubuntu? [02:38] jrib: jaunty [02:38] mdg: no no, i just mean my windows have no borders or anything to drag around or resive them with [02:38] kermit: "metacity --replace&" [02:38] my iwlagn is buggy, it often seems to lock up until i put my laptop on standby then back on [02:38] edbian: thanks! [02:39] kermit: NP [02:39] 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] kermit: If it worked then they should return normally after you reboot [02:39] what option turns off the borders like that? [02:39] wookienz: i got an atheros ar242x [02:40] Cosmic_Karma: What do you mean by "turn it off"? The grey screen just means it is waiting for something. [02:40] mdg: still hasn't worked [02:40] yeah but what does you wireless connection looklike? wlan0? wlan1? ie like eth0 eth1 [02:40] wookienz: wlan0 [02:40] ok well as far as i know iwconfig should work, it may be a sep package... try ifconfig wlan0 down [02:40] y2kkmac: you did say it was a PPC and you were trying to run PPC Ubuntu from the other drive right? [02:41] 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] mdg: yes. I get to the first stage ubuntu bootstrap, and then it spits me back to the startup disk chooser [02:41] jrib: ok i removed them. should i reboot before reinstalling? [02:41] dtcrshr: iwconfig by itself will shwo all the wireless connectiond [02:41] kermit: compiz should be calling metacity [02:41] y2kkmac: ... doing research... hold on... [02:41] kermit: They can run both at once [02:41] sure [02:41] kermit: Do you have ccsm installed? [02:41] Hilikus: nope [02:42] 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] edbian: a what? [02:42] on iwconfig i got lo, eth0 and wlan0 [02:42] My wireless usb adapter detects my network, but doesn't connect. Any help please? [02:42] compiz config settings manager [02:42] ccsm [02:42] :) [02:42] jrib: so i just reinstall the same packages i removed or there's another way to install the restricted driver? [02:42] edbian: yes [02:42] on wlan0 it sais ieee 802.11g, essid: off/any/ mode:managed [02:42] 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] kermit: Look at the "window borders" plugin [02:42] Hilikus: use Hardware Drivers [02:42] y2kkmac: from what I'm seeing, hold the option key and if there is a bootable partition it should show up [02:43] 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] my wireless adapter can see my network, but can't connect, did anyone have this problem before? [02:43] edbian: i dont see that plugin [02:43] wildnfree, ok will try that then tahnks [02:43] has anyone gotten pcsx2 (ps2 emulator) to work in linux? i need help w/ figuring out how to install it and what dependencies i need [02:43] kermit: Should be in there... [02:43] shovon, i got the same problem [02:43] I'm not sure? [02:43] Cosmic_Karma: It is a script running from something you have been browsing. [02:43] edbian: window decoration? [02:43] shovon: im on the same issue [02:44] mdg: I do that and a disk with a little picture of Tux shows up. I select that, and it goes into the first stage ubuntu bootstrap [02:44] edbian: window decoration did it, thanks again! [02:44] I am actually running 9.04 eeebuntu. I have installed drivers,using wicd because gnome doesnt work [02:44] kermit: NP [02:44] dtcrshr: tell me what's your wireless card. [02:44] That's the one [02:44] on this machine im talking on irc im on the wireless network.. cant see why i cant find the networks on ubuntu [02:44] kermit: try installing sccm(simple compiz configuration manager) or compiz configuration settings manger(ccsm) just sudo apt-get install ccsm or sudo apt-get install sccm [02:44] i got an atheros ar242x [02:44] hello guys [02:44] can someone help me get flash for the amd 64 ubuntu [02:44] y2kkmac: is it a western digital drive?

[03:26] i think you have to isntall it [03:26] Majuk > C-S-B [03:26] swapy, sudo apt-get gparted [03:26] :P [03:26] i think i have to install it [03:26] ohh [03:26] its only included on the boot disc [03:26] thanks [03:26] fdisk is better, gparted is easier [03:26] swapy, sudo apt-get install gparted [03:26] swapy: Gparted, only available in the install CD.you can install it by typing sudo apt-get install gparted [03:26] cfdisk is als o an option [03:26] ok thanks man [03:26] partition editor wars in #ubuntu-offtopic [03:26] i will try both [03:27] dr-willy , it is called screen-profiles === subzero2000_ is now known as subzero2000 [03:27] how do i add directories for index with the locate command? [03:27] hello,sorry for the disconnect [03:27] majuk, any idea what the option for "unformatted" partition is? [03:27] If that makes any sense [03:28] 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] 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] ldlework: lol, I don't really understand what you're talking about. You mean you want to blank the disc? [03:28] 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] majuk, I believe so =x [03:28] locate doesn't search the data or backup drives [03:29] "make a new primary partition of type "unformatted"" [03:29] ldlework: Not really sure. [03:29] locate literally searches files [03:29] ldlework: Why do you want it unformatted? I don't get it. [03:29] because some other tool is going to chop it up [03:29] ldlework: just use dban on it [03:29] Jkessler: if they are mounted when the database is updated they should be included [03:30] i did a sudo updatedb [03:30] no luck [03:30] this computer runs 24/7 and is only rebooted if an update decides it needs a reboot [03:30] sorry [03:30] is there any free service for remote desktop control? [03:30] 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. [03:31] newser: vnc...if you are on windows terminalservices [03:31] newser: vnc [03:31] spo: any luck with screen? [03:31] is it only terminal based? [03:31] nope [03:32] If I run "sudo mkfs.ext3 /dev/sda" will that create a new ext3 fs on that drive? [03:32] What does this mean? sudo: /etc/sudoers is mode 0740, should be 0440 [03:32] edbian: NO [03:32] majuk: How can I reformat without using gui? Is that the wrong command? [03:32] sudo as I recall is your system administrator [03:32] when i run aptitude update, i have this error, but i don't know how to solve this [03:32] W: GPG error: http://mirror.noreply.org jaunty Release: Les signatures suivantes n'ont pas pu être vérifiées car la clé publique n'est pas disponible : NO_PUBKEY CFF71CB3AFA44BDD [03:32] 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. [03:33] i did this -- > gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv 94C09C7F [03:33] but this does not work [03:33] alexnet: can u use sudo chmod? [03:33] alexnet: you can try sudo chmod 0400 /etc/sudoers [03:33] how can i solve that, thanks in advance [03:33] alexnet: STOP!!! [03:33] alexnet: filepermission for the sudoers file, are you in live CD? [03:33] alexnet: are you using visudo -f /etc/sudoers? [03:33] 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] edbian: fdisk for partitioning in the CLI. Or parted, if you're awful at life. [03:33] 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 [03:34] majuk: I'm pretty good at life [03:34] I am just starting a cisco academy program in Anchorage AK [03:34] edbian: Then you'll be an fdisk man! [03:34] alexnet,what was the exact command? [03:34] nmvictor: hey will it fix grub even though im doing it through update manager? [03:34] edbian: You create the partition with fdisk, then format it with mkfs [03:34] It was sudo chmod -R u+xw /* [03:35] wait.. there was no Slash in teh original command [03:35] alexnet, yea you are done [03:35] lol I see [03:35] ohh okat,then what directory were u in when u ran that? [03:35] :( [03:35] majuk: So if I want 1 big ext3 partition: sudo fdisk /dev/sda ??? [03:35] drcheezenstein: whichever way you choose to upgrade,an upgrade is an upgrade.just pray more and doubt less. [03:35] alexnet: with just the * you only did the dir where you were [03:35] majuk: Is fdisk menu driven? [03:35] What about with /*? [03:35] edbian: Yup. [03:35] if you were in / then yes you changed all permissions...butif you were in /home you did only /home/* [03:35] alexnet: that would have been the whole system [03:35] edbian: 'm' will display the options. [03:35] I ran them both, and canceld them both after awhile [03:35] guys does ubuntu have widgets like vista has????? [03:36] swapy: try screenlets [03:36] Thanks! [03:36] how can i install them ? [03:36] Well my chmod broke right after i ran it... so i guess I have boned myself pretty bad then? [03:36] swapy: or if you use kubuntu, theyre called plasmoids [03:36] nmvictor: thanks bud I appreciate the help [03:36] swapy: Yeah. Look at "screenlets" or "gdesklets" package [03:36] alexnet: id agree with you [03:36] has anyone gotten pcsx2 (ps2 emulator) to work in linux? i need help w/ figuring out how to install it and what dependencies i need [03:36] alexnet:its hard fixing the sudoers crap,especially if you are in live CD,are you? [03:36] drcheezenstein: anytime buddy [03:36] nmvictor, i dont know what that means... im not running off of a CD, i installed it. (does that answer?) [03:37] drcheezenstein: did u fix your problem with the booting? [03:37] thanks [03:37] alexnet: yea,so where exactly is the problem? [03:37] installing [03:37] a94060; not sure yet waiting for this upgrade to finish to find out [03:37] ahh alright drcheezenstein [03:38] 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] Because I think that error may be inidicative of some deep system damage i've caused.. thought i hope not [03:38] will be back to let you guys know Im going to exit pidgin to see if it helps speed things up [03:38] 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.. [03:39] 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] can anyone help me with resetting my video card drivers? [03:39] 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 [03:40] anyone know of some good eee linux support places? [03:40] i just tried to install ati catalyst and now my display is all messed up [03:40] OBiiT: sudo apt-get install kpdf should wor i think, though their s also Adob reader for ubuntu(linux) [03:40] 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] alexnet: maybe you should make a new distro that have world wide write and read on /etc [03:40] a94060, are you suggesting that I go ahead and reformat? [03:40] anyway to reset the drivers? [03:41] alexnet: well,it depends what you have. Im not sure actually. If you can afford to start from scratch,why not =] [03:41] 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] it says Package kpdf is not available, but is referred to by another package. [03:41] alexnet:i think a94060 is right, given you choices. === tommy is now known as Guest56004 [03:42] alexnet: if you are just messing around,what id advise you to do after the first fresh install is simplly back it up. incase u do something,you can just untar it back like before [03:42] !spanish [03:42] En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés.

[03:43] yepp adobe is fine :) [03:44] a94060, build-essential is the package [03:44] anwser my question guys [03:44] swapy, patience [03:44] 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 [03:44] IdleOne: well the thing is, I am going to try again to setup ubuntu on eee [03:45] 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] by this box appear still be working. [03:45] well alexnet, you could backup the data such as the iptables and the website [03:45] Easy question... if a network is xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/28, what is the subnet mask? [03:46] u could get by without reformatting,just expect to see errors like what u sa [03:46] saw [03:46] how to navigate to desktop any shortcut key in ubuntu to hide all windows and switch to desktop??

[03:47] ahh okay,google =] [03:47] thanks [03:47] 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 [03:47] Okay well i'll stop messing with permissions.. and since i still have https access i'll go rescue all my sites and data... and then i'll come back here for a lesson on how to not destroy my linux box again. [03:47] alexnet, the best way would be to enable interactive mode [03:47] swapy: they have the source, if you did not about it [03:48] chmod -Ri could have helped,also rereading commands [03:48] giiker, means? [03:49] swapy: try Google,maybe shes got some idea. [03:49] nmvictor, i tried [03:49] giiker, how to compile all source and install in linux? === runinwater is now known as RUNINWATER_CPO2 [03:50] Q: I have XChat and for some reason each time I log in & connect to freenode I have to do the /msg NickServe identify thing, it won't use my stored password in the XChat Network settings [03:50] swapy:i dont seem to understand you http transfer, if you wanted ftp i'd suggest Filezilla,for http?cant think of any application i've heard of [03:51] hello [03:51] Is it possible to install BrOffice on Ubuntu? [03:51] the_dark_warrio:: if there is .deb package or the source, yes. [03:52] opdynamiks: hfs claims to run under wine [03:52] I'm wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction to host Cyber Cafe type WirelessLAN [03:52] opdynamiks: whoops, wrong name! [03:52] nmvictor:: that thing is like a web application to "share" files [03:52] swapy: hfs claims to run under wine [03:52] icarus-c: There is in fact a plethora of .deb packages, but I guess the last time I installed, I've got a lot of bugs too (because of the already installed openoffice) [03:52] like, any way to host a webserver, so that when people use a webbrowser, they are initially directed to the server's webpage [03:53] mrmac: look into the tomato firmware, you can set it up on a Linksys wrt54gl and accomplish that [03:53] During bootup, during pre-mount, pre-journal-commit phase, I notice something. It's not a 'problem' in the usual sense, but rather one in the aesthetic sense. It's a typo, wherein there's a boot message that says "update needing tables" . It should really say "tables needing updating" and I'd like to know a way--on the command line--that I could find out where this message is so I can fix it. [03:53] okay, great, thanks. i'll check that out. =] [03:53] icarus-c: swapy was requesting of a http transfer app, cant think of any.got any ideas?

[03:55] groovy thanks [03:55] poent_: I spend a bit of time on this. It depends on what kind of dvd, too. My new dvd of the movie "Coraline" won't allow menu navigation in any player. [03:55] swapy, you can run hfs with wine [03:55] tuxwulf: so basically just boot with the ghost cd right?

[03:58] a94060: Yes, you can do that, but only if your linux is installed on a Win partition [03:58] tuxwulf: so your image isnt as big as the drive [03:58] swapy: locate does the job, only faster :-) [03:58] ubottu! [03:58] nmvictor, ubottu is a bot [03:58] gogeta: Yes... there are many more ways to do this, but I figure, lete's keep it simple... [03:58] i was reading about a method where i could use dd to copy the bootloader?

[04:00] Xerran: np, have fun [04:00] if i'm getting some minor lag when opening windows and applications do you think it could be the video driver? [04:00] then you can just dd the mbr [04:00] a94060: you can, just have to know the exact HEX addresses [04:00] swapy: They're just virtual sticky notes. [04:00] Ben64: No, linux does not use the ntloader that windows uses [04:00] nmvictor, use /msg ubottu test to try it out [04:00] tuxwulf: i have been experimenting with clonezilla but I am unsure on the restore [04:00] hex address?

[04:09] Ben64:: why not /dev/random :P [04:10] icarus-c: not enough random data in there [04:10] aha [04:10] takes forever to build up entropy [04:10] entropy takes forever to build and it goes away very quickly [04:10] urandom would work though [04:10] Ben64: I was about to ask about urandom [04:11] 3330236928 bytes (3.3 GB) copied, 3.99654 s, 833 MB/s <-- /dev/zero \\\\\\ 11197952 bytes (11 MB) copied, 2.49775 s, 4.5 MB/s <--- /dev/urandom [04:11] kermit: also, how can you tell cat only to read the first 512b of a file [04:11] aha, linux is just amazing, it is still perfectly functional even with 100% cpu usage [04:11] icarus-c: if you set priority of that to maximum, stuff would be bad though [04:12] sure [04:12] 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] icarus-c: xp has terrible scheduling [04:12] s/terrible// # fixed [04:12] but yeah, linux is generally smarter than windows at memory management, cpu, and just about everything else [04:12] not really. even XP SP3 still worse [04:12] I'm using Ubuntu Jaunty 9.04. When I log into X, nm-applet brings up my wireless card and connects to my wlan router effortlessly. However, when I don't log into X--as I sometimes do--and go straight to a terminal, when I use iwconfig to attempt to connect to the 'net, it doesn't work. My hardware parameters are here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/255512/ .

[04:13] edbian: no someone else wanted to copy it [04:13] What does recursive copy as in "cp -r" mean? [04:13] hell linux made my 600 mhz run like a horse comparing to xp [04:14] rCX:: copy through directories [04:14] rCX: use to copy enitre dirs [04:14] thx [04:14] kermit: evne then you have to use two commands head and cat to accomplis what only dd does [04:14] rCX: That folder and all folders and files in that folder [04:14] i thought it had to be "cp -R" to copy folders and everything within [04:14] Ghoti_: better ask apple why they take much effort in making their ipod/iphon no interact with 3rd software [04:14] oh nvm, -R and -r are both the same [04:14] Firefishe: what commands are you using to connect?

[04:15] xangua is correct. Apple hates interoperability. [04:15] 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? [04:15] They have purposefully killed support for applications that worked under linux [04:16] xangua: if I wanted to bang my head against a wall, I'd start a vi/emacs debate; I was just wondering if progress had been made from the side of the equation from which progress might be expected. [04:16] Ben64: you mean inneroperability [04:16] :) [04:16] ooh i've already seen it [04:16] no :S [04:16] ctmjr: Things like: sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid "ssidnameInQuotes" [04:16] is it aviable in spanish ¿¿ Ben64 [04:17] ctmjr: Also: sudo dhclient wlan0 [04:17] Ben64: I meant they luv inneroperability [04:17] ctmjr: Things like that. I've tried everything to try to get the system to recognize the wireless card --laptop, btw-- and I'm stumped. [04:17] hi all! is there a way to update gnome 2.22 on hardy? [04:18] !lamp [04:18] LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [04:18] in bash scripting, how can i force a counting variable to have at least 3 digits? for instance: 001, 002, 003, ...

[04:19] jMyles, I used http://articles.slicehost.com << to setup the LAMP [04:19] so take a look [04:20] 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? [04:20] in 9.04 i created an ext4 fs that will be used for strictly storage and i'd like to get rid of the journal. I've run 'tune2fs -O ^has_journal /dev/sdc1' and it recovered some space but I'm not sure if it's all the space.. is there a better way to remove the journal or should I just recreate the fs w/o the journal? [04:20] if i connect to an account via ssh , then i run screen, and the ssh connection terminatates, screen will still be running and be okay, i guess [04:20] MK-ubuntu: It seems that "sudo tasksel install lamp-server" does the whole thing now [04:20] Emergency please help me ( i can not speak EN very will i hope Excuse me for this) pls see this for my probleam [04:20] Firefishe: nm doesn't use /etc/network/interfaces. If you want to have network connectivity without logging into X then you have to dump network mangler and go with ifup/ifdown [04:20] spo: that's right. [04:20] Firefishe: run top in terminal and see if network-manager is running if it is kill it [04:20] so I made a live disk on a usb stick of UNR and booted up in it with my asus eee pc 900win.

[04:22] icarus-c and xangua: Neat! Ty. [04:22] kermit: thanks! [04:22] unelss you can suggest a better FS type for storage that has MINIMAL overhead [04:22] space is premium [04:22] haloo everybody [04:22] Hey adroel!

[04:24] nmvictor: What, specifically, happens when you try to partition/format it? [04:24] adroel:: ext4 is fast, but may introduce data lost (google it) [04:25] ctmjr: NetworkManager is running, along with nm-applet and nm-system-settings [04:25] adroel: It's basically personal preference. Research it! : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ext4 [04:25] losher: any particular reason why file10 displays before file2 in ls? [04:25] adroel: ext3 is more mature [04:25] syntac: use rename [04:25] syntac: they're sorted as strings, not numerically [04:25] prince_jammys: ah [04:25] adroel: I've been using EXT4 for some time now. I appreciate the speed, and while there is a risk of dataloss, I haven't had any trouble with it. I'd recommend it :) [04:25] ctmjr: Do I need to install anything? [04:25] syntac:: 1 is smaller than 2 [04:25] syntac: better to use leading zeros [04:25] adroel: di||itante ext3 enjoys fine wine. ext4 had a fit last night because his tummy hurt. [04:26] syntac:: in character [04:26] Firefishe: if network-manager is running it has control of the interface if you want too control it you have to stop network-manager [04:26] oh god , somebode help me i confounded for this [04:26] syntac: it's a standard problem, and your solution (adding zeroes) is the standard solution... [04:26] hey there, i am on a wireless connection, i set up my cisco wtr160n router when i had windows originally, but i've gotten rid of windows since then, my problem is, i downloaded nicotine and though i can connect to the soulseek server i cannot connect to other users, when i try to download a file, it says cannot connect on the status, anyone can help me out? [04:26] edbian: right! use ext3 or for that matter XFS [04:26] OK thanks for the advice dude!!! [04:26] di||itante: lol [04:27] #jolicloud [04:27] ctmjr: I've done this before, but it's been ages using ifup/ifdown manually. How can I set the system to use the interfaces instead of NetworkManager (...Mangler, 'scuse me) ;) [04:27] majuk: in gparted,records a pending operation but with the Apply button still disabled.I've used Gnome Format and it says permission denied.then says something like the devices should be mounted rw [read/write] or i must be root.does work when im root, thus the rw stuff could be the problem. [04:27] losher, icarus-c, kermit, prince_jammys: thanks all! got it working [04:27] lol. anyone has look at WhiteCrow 's problem ?

[04:30] majuk: see this prosses go to healt in 10 min [04:30] i think WhiteCrow wants to know what to do with the selection box for grub [04:30] 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] 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] Firefishe: make sure net-work manager is not loaded at boot [04:30] Is anyone here familiar with Jolicloud? [04:31] WhiteCrow, is it the panel? [04:31] nmvictor: You might want to try "fdisk" instead of gparted" [04:31] ctmjr: What file do I annotate to have that not boot up at start time? [04:31] giiker: ?? [04:31] fdisk is a dangerous cmd [04:31] edbian:what arguments on fdisk, please? [04:31] nmvictor: fdisk is menu driven [04:32] nmvictor: to start it "sudo fdisk /dev/" [04:32] nmvictor: 'm' to see the options [04:32] Firefishe: are you using gnome and is it loaded now? [04:32] WhiteCrow: can you elaborate? [04:32] giiker: see new my screenshot pls [04:32] 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] ctmjr: No, kde 4.3. As far as the system trays in either desktop environment go, to me, nm-applet works identically. [04:33] nmvictor: make sure you do this right or you might loose data [04:33] giiker: pls 2 min wite for upload screenshot [04:33] nmvictor: I'll do my best to hold your hand. I'm not amazing at fdisk but I think I can do this [04:34] Anybody know about OpenOffice? [04:34] drama, suspense, #ubuntu [04:34] 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] tuxwulf: Yeah [04:34] tuxwulf: Just about everybody here [04:34] tuxwulf: better to just ask about the specific problem you have [04:34] 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? [04:35] WhiteCrow: are you havng problems when booting up? [04:35] Okay. Pardon me, I never saw anybody about it. In OpenOffice Base, how to show relationships between tables? [04:35] yep [04:35] this my ver kerenel [04:35] edbian:),i have run that and say /dev/sdc doesnt contain a valid partition table [04:36] nmvictor: Than that's what we want to edit: "sudo fdisk /dev/sdc" [04:36] WhiteCrow: you are having problems with grub [04:36] is 9.04 jaunty? [04:36] yes [04:36] Poent: Si [04:36] k [04:36] yes [04:36] tuxwulf: try #openoffice.org if you don't get an answer here. [04:36] yes when i boot i can't see my last ver my krenel [04:36] Poent: Yes [04:37] edbian:why not take me through that, mind if i PM [04:37] ctmjr: Still in gui land. Is there something you wanted me to do? [04:37] nmvictor: PM away!

It's wanting to search for a suitable plugin and can't find it, even with the added repositories. Any ideas? [04:40] drcheezenstein: Are you in gui or command line?

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] are binary files that've been installed using apt kept and archived? [04:44] I prefer the alternate CD installs of Ubuntu [04:45] WhiteCrow: i am able to do it but rather not to. [04:45] I'm thinking of moving from 32bit to 64bit but redownloading all the apps is going to be tedious [04:45] paris: apg-get ¿¿ yes [04:45] besides, 64 bit ports of all applications may not exist [04:45] xangua: what?

[04:45] Firefishe: In my experience, you have to start the device with ifconfig *first*, then start the wireless portion with iwconfig [04:45] paris: anything installed via apt is usually kept in /var/cache/apt/archives [04:46] giiker: im confounded [04:46] but they are not the same packages paris, or are they ¿¿¿ [04:46] xangua: How do you write upside down question marks??!?!

You're better off using mdadm and disabling the BIOS RAID settings. [04:56] swapy: Java? [04:56] Firefishe: no they will not the only thing you can do is stop network-manager from starting at all then decide what one you want to use at the time or kill it when you want to run the console [04:56] Why isn't bitchx included in Ubuntu, what did they do, and how can I stop it?

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] prince - trying that now... brb [05:12] i'm having issues with a broken package that won't resolve itself in the synaptic package manager [05:12] Ozzah: you'll have to restart X after doing that.

[05:37] di||itante: I would prefer not to... but if it's the last resort then I can just format and reinstall [05:37] 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] tommy_: sudo nano if you intend to edit it [05:37] just need the display settings [05:37] Ozzah: uninstall everything you installed to get the program to install [05:37] di||itante: except that would waste about 2 hours [05:37] tommy_: then nano/less, or even cat might do. [05:37] di||itante: I already tried that... about 15 minutes ago. All versions of GTK and GLIB have been removed [05:37] 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. [05:38] Hi di||itante [05:38] !fonts [05:38] Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". No fonts in MPlayer? see !MPlayer [05:38] Ozzah: did you reintsall them [05:38] di||itante: no [05:38] the file doesn't exist [05:38] it keeps making me make a new one [05:38] Hi di||itante. Can you talk ? === theGussi is now known as Gussi [05:38] Does anyone know if ACL's work in Ubuntu? [05:38] Ozzah: what was the program you needed to run [05:39] Hi, can somebody told me, how to check installed version for ntfs-3g package? [05:39] I have removed intel 2.4 driver and installed intel 2.6 driver for my internal graphics card now only white screen appears when i log in plz help me === wonderful is now known as vorian [05:39] I have removed intel 2.4 driver and installed intel 2.6 driver for my internal graphics card now only white screen appears when i log in plz help me [05:39] Ozzah: well it *sounds* like a font problem. Or worse, some kind of corruption. Since you're dead in the water anyway, might wanna try reinstalling X11 === techp is now known as purvesh [05:39] So, oddness happened, and my sound card is now showing up in the wrong order. [05:39] ctmjr: that file isn't in the folder [05:40] Ozzah: dont do that yet [05:40] tommy_: make sure its nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf capital X in X11. linux is case sensitive [05:40] di||itante: well I *originally* needed (wanted) to use gnotepad+ to do C coding remotely through SSH. Turns out gnotepad+ isn't that fantastic after all. I'm used to using notepad2 for windows, and wanted something similar. If I had known all this would've happened I would've just stuck with text-editor but now it's too late [05:40] Ozzah: what was the name of the program [05:40] yes I know I'm in X11 [05:40] there's no xorg.conf tho [05:40] ctmjr: Any ideas? [05:40] tommy_: oh ok [05:40] di||itante: gnotepad+, which needs gtk+, which needs glib, pango, atk, etc. [05:40] Firefishe: open a terminal and run sudo iwlist scan [05:40] mv works by only rm'ing old sourced files after they are copied right... that is how it works [05:40] Ozzah: was gnotepad in .deb package form [05:41] ctmjr: k, doing it now [05:41] I got X, Xresources, app-defaults, fonts, pwm, rgm.txt, rxvt.menu, and xsetup [05:41] can any 1 help me to install the drupal in ubuntu 8.10 [05:41] di||itante: No. I wouldn't have spend an hour trying to compile gnotepad+ if it had a deb file! [05:41] no xorg.conf tho :-? [05:41] How do i open a text file in command prompt [05:41] Ozzah: Are you using gnome or kde [05:42] ctmjr: Okay, done. [05:42] Satya: nano [05:42] 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] No, do this [05:42] help!! [05:43] tommy_: in terminal sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg should create a very basic xorg.conf [05:43] leaving [05:43] e [05:43] Firefishe: what does it say under wlan0? paste it if it has an output === onchoe is now known as cha_alone [05:43] it's not going to be able to create anything I'm running purely off CD [05:43] 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] ctmjr: Lots. Let me pastebin it. [05:43] there's no writing capability [05:43] anyone knows if there is an app to access a NAS HDD over the internet for ubuntu? [05:44] anyone? [05:44] Ozzah: Then reinstall the gtk packages [05:44] 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? [05:45] How do i disable graphics effects via command line [05:45] tommy_: can you paste the xorg.conf file from the computer you are trying to fix the resolution problem on? [05:45] surely [05:45] same location? [05:45] Ozzah: the list of packages you installed should be in /var/log/dpkg.log in chronological order, if that helps... [05:45] di||itante: how do I get a list of installed packages? [05:45] tommy_: yes [05:45] gimme two secconds [05:45] losher: lol, thanks :) [05:45] Ozzah: just do the ones you installed for gnotepat [05:46] !paste | tommy_ [05:46] tommy_: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel.

I've restarted X with ctrl+alt+backspace, and I'm still haveing box fonts [05:49] ctmjr: wpa-psk actually [05:49] get it?

[05:50] tommy_: there is no driver option in that file . what video card you have? [05:50] it's a thinkpad [05:50] di||itante: yes [05:50] no idea [05:50] how would I find out [05:50] ctmjr: never mind [05:50] tommy_: you running jaunty? [05:50] how do you move more then one file to a foldier in terminal without typeing in every name for the file.. [05:50] melaniej, thanx for reply [05:50] jaunty? [05:50] is there something similar to mionet on ubuntu? [05:51] ctmjr: I have to input a key somewhere, eh? Will that current setup even take wpa keys? [05:51] di||itante: but it didn't do anything... it just said something like "ignoring request to purge [...] which isn't installed" [05:51] tommy_: ubuntu 9.04? [05:51] 8.04 [05:51] Disabling effects in command line [05:51] 9.04 was crashing [05:52] I kept losing characters in txt and menus [05:52] tommy_: if you open system>administration is there a hardware drivers option in there? [05:52] 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] di||itante: is there some sort of a font service or something, that may have not started because of some error? [05:52] ctmjr: Yes [05:52] yup [05:53] HELP ME [05:53] Ozzah: not likely, have yoou rebooted [05:53] does anybody know of any software that i can use to record live video with to my computer via digital camera [05:53] tommy_: if you open it is there a driver listed you can activate? [05:53] 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] none listed [05:53] like for church services? [05:53] di||itante: a few times... doing it again now (though I don't think it will change anything) [05:54] I was able to mess around with xrander earlier and get it to atleast have an option to turn it to 1024x768 [05:54] di||itante: is there no way to do a repair install from the original cd? [05:54] 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] but it would throw an error everytime I tried to set it to active [05:54] 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] thats why I thought it was the modeline or something [05:55] tommy_: ok in terminal type lspci | grep -i vga to find out what video card you have [05:55] 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] Ozzah: Kinda, it depends on how your partitions are set up [05:55] ctmjr: Would removing dhclient's software and using dhcpd change the ifup/ifdown use priority? [05:55] di||itante: I was having the same thoughts... thanks for trying [05:56] 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Silicon Motion, Inc. SM712 LynxEM+ (rev a0) [05:56] ctmjr: I seem to remember experimenting with dhclient and dhcpd once before, in Intrepid early on, if I remember correctly. [05:56] legend...its lspci -l | grep vga [05:56] 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] i think...thats what worked on mine [05:56] where can I download Alsa drivers for my Intel Corporation 82801G? [05:56] Firefishe: am not sure about that i allways was dhclient hold on a sec [05:56] ctmjr: Holding, tower ;) [05:56] Ozzah: then you would have to uninstall and reinstall them again [05:57] did you see it [05:58] Hello [05:58] did everyone fall asleep? [05:58] with dual core , a load average of 1.50 is 3/4 of 100% or is it 50% overloaded? [05:58] who here is a top dog in #ubuntu-offtopic [05:58] Anyone? [05:59] I'm running on Live CD now, where can I find ALSA drivers for my Intel Corporation 82801G. I already installed the build essentials but I can't download alsa drivers for my laptop. [05:59] Who! [05:59] i'm a dog, does that count? [05:59] Bearshare: man, you're annoying.... [05:59] Oh yeah [05:59] WHY IS THAT JAGOFF [05:59] Want to get your rear kicked?

[06:04] tommy_: still here [06:04] lol yay! [06:05] I am using live cd....how to get the list of hard drives/partitions ? [06:05] like dev/sda etc [06:05] 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] silv3r_m00n: fdisk -l [06:05] silv3r_m00n: that's a lower case L [06:05] 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] and I ca't even get ndiswrapper to load [06:06] tommy_: open synaptic and see if xserver-xorg-video-siliconmotion is installed [06:06] gonna have to explain how to do tha tone [06:07] prince_jammys: any other way....... [06:07] it doesn't tell the partitions sizes [06:07] mm [06:07] tommy_: open system>admin>synaptic and see if xserver-xorg-video-siliconmotion has a green box next to it [06:07] I dunno much bout linux yet [06:08] silv3r_m00n: it does over here [06:08] k on it [06:08] it says device boot start end blocks id and system [06:08] now where is size ? [06:08] silv3r_m00n: i get: Disk /dev/sda: 163.9 GB, 163928604672 bytes [06:09] silv3r_m00n: yes it does, the "blocks" column is the partition size in 1k blocks [06:09] tommy__: you can sort the entries in there by the column with the checkboxes in them === Paddy_EIRE is now known as Paddy_NI [06:10] tommy__: Or you can search for "xserver-xorg-video-siliconmotion" by hitting the search button [06:10] losher: doesn't appear to be [06:10] dividing that by 1024 or 1024*1024 doesn't give the correct gb siz [06:10] size* [06:11] haha well I did it the hard way [06:11] but yes it's green [06:11] ok I have ubuntu installed on 1 of those partitions ...how can I check which ? [06:11] silv3r_m00n: ok, run it & paste the output to www.pastebin.com [06:11] tommy_: ok [06:11] 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 ? [06:12] is there a command line I could use in dsl like xrandr? [06:12] silv3r_m00n: "GB" is 1 billion bytes when concerned with harddrives. [06:12] tommy_: open system > preferences is there a Display option in there? [06:12] no the only way I can adjust that is by going to "resolution setting" [06:12] or scree resolution I mean [06:12] under settings [06:12] tommy_: that doesnt work? [06:13] it won't let me go higher than 800x600 [06:13] I screwed around in xrandr and made a new mode for 1024x768 but I couldn't get it to work still [06:14] it gave me an option to click on 1024 after I did it but it still would be at 800x600 [06:14] can I scan for bad sectors like this >> sudo e2fsck -cc /dev/sda6 ? [06:14] here I'll paste you exactly what I did and tell me if you know anything else I could do [06:14] how without the -cc option [06:15] or with a single c [06:16] what is the difference between single c and double c [06:16] still there? [06:17] how do i run tint2 after it is installed...i just get bash:tint2: command not found === Paddy_EIRE is now known as Paddy_NI [06:17] 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] means ? [06:17] legend: http://paste.ubuntu.com/255557/ [06:17] wasn't an option at first, got it to recognize and an option, but still couldn't get it to activate [06:18] where can I get that smart data ? === nabeel is now known as Guest26923 [06:18] silv3r_m00n: are you talking to me. You need to use my name... [06:18] losher: oh sure... [06:18] losher: I mean I did a fsck...it gave no error [06:19] losher: so how to actually find how many bad sectors are there [06:19] 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] there's no xrandr code [06:19] silv3r_m00n: you have to read the SMART data on the drive. apt-get install smartmontools gsmartcontrol [06:20] how do i find out what folders/files are being shared over a network? [06:20] any issues with the e2fsck -cc /dev/sda6 thing ? [06:20] how do i find out what folders/files of mine are being shared over a network? [06:21] hey whats that really good hard drive recovery program that copies sector to sector to get the data off? [06:21] tommy_: i would try this http://www.perimeterless.org/?p=106 [06:22] thanks I'll check it out [06:22] losher: any issues with the e2fsck -cc /dev/sda6 thing ? [06:22] I'm talkin to another fellow in ubunu-x at the moment [06:22] 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] My trash can is showing the "full" icon, but it's empty [06:23] any idea how I'd fix that? [06:23] xim_: http://www.gnu.org/software/ddrescue/ddrescue.html [06:24] losher: what does this mean >> end_request : I/O error , dev sda , sector 242505412 [06:25] Does anyone here have experience with ACLs? I need a quick check to make sure I'm setting this right. [06:25] i'm back >.< [06:25] 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? [06:26] does anyone know anything about using wine to play games installed through an iso? [06:26] losher: its my new samsung n110 notebook [06:27] losher: netbook* [06:27] losher: 160gb hdd [06:28] IsmAvatar: click the Trash icon so it opens and then press ctrl+h keys any hidden files in there? [06:28] losher: does that mean it's a bad sector ? [06:28] legend2440: Negative [06:29] losher: his me up when you finish with them please:) [06:29] 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] losher: hit* [06:29] losher: but , all this isn't supposed to come up in a new machine right ? [06:29] Skexin: what's up? === c is now known as charitwo [06:29] IsmAvatar: that happened to me before but i think it rectified itself after a reboot [06:30] losher: i used gmount to mount an iso to my desktop for easy access [06:30] legend2440: I don't think I've reboot yet. I'll try that. [06:30] losher: i'm done with the iso, now i can't get the files off my desktop.... [06:30] 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] 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). But yea, it just goes through a loop. Any ideas on how to fix this? [06:30] Also, sorry, using Apache2 running 9.04 [06:31] Skexin: do you mean you can't delete the files? [06:31] losher: so instead of trying to scan my hdd .....i shud go and fight with the shop right ? [06:31] losher: yea [06:31] losher: they have a lock on them... [06:31] losher: I just need a way to popup all errors infront of them ... [06:32] silv3r_m00n: I would download the manufacturers diagnostic disk and run extended checks on the drive first. [06:32] losher: I thought they would go away when i unmounted the drive, but they didn't [06:32] losher does ddrescue copy on the physical level rather than the filesystem level? [06:32] 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] Skexin: who says they have a lock on them? === greyz` is now known as greyz|nn [06:33] legend2440: Thanks, that solved it [06:33] 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] IsmAvatar: ok good [06:34] Skexin: that's probably cause you mounted the iso as root. Open a terminal and use 'sudo rm ' to delete the files (carefully!) [06:35] losher: -cc option does a read write test...so that shud be able to reveal something [06:35] hi === Rabbitbu1ny is now known as Rabbitbunny [06:35] My bluetooth mouse stop working after bluetooth update [06:36] i tried so many ways but still no luck [06:36] noob: then downgrade the update [06:36] xim_: it reads block by block, and does retries, and skips over blocks that won't read... [06:36] how can i? [06:36] losher: cannot remove : no such file or directory [06:36] silv3r_m00n: you can show them the smart data if it shows errors... [06:37] Skexin: do an ls -l first. Do you see the files? [06:37] Silv how can i downgrade bluetooth upgrade? I switch fedora to ubuntu [06:37] losher: they don't know how to plug a headphone jack [06:37] losher: I installed smartmontools ...now how to use it ?

[06:40] silv3r_m00n: google for it. It's worth it. Much easier than the CLI smart tools... [06:41] Skexin: wanna pastebin the ls -l output? === gpraveen is now known as praveen1 [06:41] waddap y'all [06:41] silv3r_m00n: http://blog.shadypixel.com/monitoring-hard-drive-health-on-linux-with-smartmontools/ [06:41] losher: what do you mean? === praveen1 is now known as pvn [06:42] Skexin: cut & paste the output to www.pastebin.com then tell us the url... [06:42] silv3r_m00n: http://www.getdeb.net/app/GSmartControl [06:43] losher: http://pastebin.com/m5ba5fa84 [06:44] Skexin: cd Desktop, then ls -l again. Now do you see the files? [06:44] losher: no [06:45] losher: how the change the theme of applications running as root [06:45] Tarkers: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting#Configuring%20default%20soundcards%20/%20stopping%20soundcards%20from%20switching [06:45] losher: its like they are just a ghost of the files on my desktop x.x [06:45] is there any way to grab bluetooth version from live cd?

[06:49] Um_cara_qualquer: google does [06:50] !unetbootin [06:50] For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [06:50] losher: my terminal gave me a bunch of file name spam followed by : Permission denied [06:51] Skexin: sigh. Try sudo find . -name setup.ico [06:51] how do i find out what folders/files of mine are being shared over a network? [06:51] Hello all. Is there an easy way to make a partition automatically mount when Ubuntu starts? [06:52] jimmio, i think so [06:52] !fstab | Jimmio [06:52] 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] nothing [06:52] Flannel: I was hoping easier than editing a file and hoping permissions are right, etc. [06:52] losher: nother [06:53] losher: nothing* [06:53] i guess u can run a script to auto mount it on start [06:53] computer_: depends how they're being shared. nfs? samba? something else? In general, the answer is NO. [06:53] Jimmio: Oh, fstab isn't all that scary. [06:53] editing files is scary? [06:53] Skexin: then I think you're right, they're ghosts. Try restarting the server, or rebooting? [06:54] Flannel: It isn't scary, no. But it is a PITA.. changing owners, groups, permissions, ugh. [06:54] losher: lol....i guess my standard solution from now on should be 'try rebooting' [06:54] PROBLEM SOLVED [06:54] WOO [06:54] How do I figure out if my computer identified an internal mic upon bootup? will something show up in the dmesg? [06:54] tommy_: what did you do? [06:55] losher: lmao i fixed it [06:55] Skexin: well, it *does* solve 99% of problems, sadly (or maybe that's happily)... [06:55] changed the xorg.conf [06:55] Skexin: how? [06:55] forced it to 1024x768 [06:55] Skexin: rebooting to fix everything is very windows like [06:55] #ubuntu approves [06:55] urthmover: You could probably open Sound Recorder and try it, couldn't you? [06:55] losher: i opened my desktop folder and hit F5 to refresh [06:55] 13.3 inches has never looked so big! [06:55] lol [06:56] losher: it cleared them all out...lol [06:56] losher: god....simple solutions drive me insane sometimes... [06:56] * DigitalKiwi goes back to scary text files http://omploader.org/vMXJtYw [06:56] Can anyone give me some help with ACLs? [06:56] losher: and agreed...very windows like [06:57] Skexin: so they *were* ghosts. Be grateful *something* worked, And you learned a bit of CLI along the way... [06:57] figured it out the mic was on mute in the volume control [06:57] #kde [06:57] ok, I'm done. G'night channel... [06:57] bai [06:58] losher: yea...they were stubborn ghosts...and CLI? === tommy is now known as Guest42207 [06:58] yay .... today update manager somehow busted my grub but doing a find root setup fixed things ....it sure is nice when troubleshooting and the straightforward steps for resolution just fall into place thanks ubuntu [06:58] losher: have a good night man....thanks for the assistance [06:58] Skexin: Command Line Interpreter [06:58] Hello guys [06:58] losher: i gotcha [06:58] how are you doing?

[07:03] with the user profile i believe [07:03] in the mozilla-firefox folder [07:03] anybody here wanna help out a newb to Ubuntu? [07:04] dividebyzer01: Best way to get help is to just ask your question. If someone knows the answer, they'll answer. [07:04] gotcha, well I have a windows application that I need to run. I read that wine is decent at running most simple windows apps. [07:04] my problem is the file is a .rar [07:05] poent: where is that folder? [07:05] hi. how do i get google chrome/chromium on ubuntu? [07:05] I installed the unrar-free software but when I go to extract it, the folder is empty. I can see the files but it doesnt extract the files [07:06] dividebyzer01: try unrar instead of unrar-free [07:06] poent: the mozilla-firefox folder? [07:06] one sec [07:06] ok [07:06] one sec [07:06] try 7zip better...but i think thats windoze only so nvm [07:06] Flannel: Would you happen to know the type I need for ntfs? Is there an auto or ntfs-3g? [07:07] lakotajames1: it should be under your /home directory: [07:07] it opens with "File Roller" [07:07] ~/.mozilla/firefox [07:07] zeeble: https://launchpad.net/chromium-browser [07:07] Jimmio: just ntfs is fine [07:07] leaf-sheep: thanks [07:07] zeeble: There are no Offical "Google Chrome" for linux. [07:08] leaf-sheep: yeah, was looking for unofficial debs. via the chromium [07:08] !ntfs | Jimmio [07:08] Jimmio: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [07:08] poent: which file is it in? I'm looking for it in a machine I'm ssh'd to. [07:08] I right click and click "extract" and extract all. it just makes a blank folder [07:08] no files [07:08] Jimmio: ntfs-3g (that page explains all about mounting ntfs automatically, obviously enough) [07:09] dividebyzer01: try it in command line [07:09] in the terminal? [07:09] "unrar x foo.rar" [07:09] yeah... terminal. menu -> accessories -> terminal [07:09] i changed my display settings trying to connect to a tv, i changed my resolution and now i cant get it back. how do i fix this?

[07:10] cd /path/to/directory [07:10] !cli | dividebyzer01 [07:10] dividebyzer01: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE).

[07:11] lakotajames1: are you looking to just remove the homepage or do you want to edit it? [07:11] poent: I just want to know what it is. [07:12] how do you CD into a folder that has a space in the name? [07:12] the file is going to change per install. it should be something like llLsls.default [07:12] ok, thanks :) [07:12] dividebyzer01: either use quotes, or put a \ before the space [07:12] dividebyzer01: type tab, it will tell you what to do === mtozses__ is now known as mcmlxxi [07:13] k what was the unrar command?

[07:28] noob: find your linux-image- packages, and remove the old ones. I recommend keeping at least one old, known good one. In case you find a problem with the most recent kernel [07:28] needhelp1: of linux-image-*?

[07:43] Someoneis, what happened with the link? how'd that go? [07:43] nvm i figured out [07:43] yeah, it was cool but all he says is compile it [07:44] cd bin [07:44] Someoneis, what package is that? [07:44] 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] the madwifi one i just downloaded [07:44] 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] nmvicky, moorthyvsm is helping me now, thanks :) [07:44] Someoneis: usually there are 3 steps to compilation, "./configure", "make", and "make install" [07:45] Someoneis: you should have linux image headers installed [07:45] alright, thanks [07:45] Someoneis, you need the linux-headers and linux-port-headers I think [07:45] myownserver: alternatively, you can use local hostfiles to do the same thing, but its definitely a more hands on approach [07:45] how can i get that? [07:45] Someoneis, try kernel.org [07:45] alright, thanks === majuk1 is now known as majuk [07:45] KILL9:thanks [07:45] myownserver: usually it's easier using a public dns [07:45] 4.2.2.2 is a good one [07:45] 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] does anyone know how to stop window contents from showing upon movement in openbox === Mud|afk is now known as Mud [07:46] myownserver: I agree [07:46] leaf thanks for your help [07:46] myownserver: openDNS.org is what I use [07:46] opendns \o/ [07:46] I have tried repairing my usb flash disk using fdisk to no avail, anyone with some more powerfull program in mind? [07:46] i thing it will work but let me rebbot my pc [07:46] 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] opendns sucked last time i used them [07:46] think* [07:47] any way to determine if drive is ext2 or ext3? [07:47] from drive connected to usb port? [07:47] they are way more stable than my ISP's DNS [07:47] 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] . . . and me running the web server for it from my own dynamic IP. [07:47] and fast [07:47] @roachy I started from a fresh install of openvpn [07:47] noo [07:47] last i used opendns, they would put ads if you went to fkjfaslkfasklfaslkfhasfas.com [07:48] 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] 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 [07:49] Ben64: Can't say I experienced that. I just tried [07:49] spo: command1 & command2 & [07:49] where can i get linux image headers? and what do they do? [07:49] what happens if I type in my e-mail and password in here? http://yesterdays-nightmare.com/?naughty=inez_vroegop&image=DSC00245.JPG [07:50] ben64 , command2 won't run until after command1 is completed? [07:50] leaf it worked [07:50] spo: runs them all at the same time for me [07:50] Someoneis:quick search it in synaptic package manager then mark for installation [07:50] i want to run them subsequentially [07:50] ohhh [07:51] 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] Someoneis, they fix the error message you had before when make'ing a compile [07:51] darlek : you should see it in fstab gedit /etc/fstab [07:51] myownserver: Do you have a policy in place that would prevent you from putting it on a private network with port forwarding? [07:51] myownserver: just use a public dns server [07:51] got this error message while updating: [07:51] W: Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/l/linux/linux-image-2.6.28-15-generic_2.6.28-15.49_i386.deb [07:51] Could not connect to security.ubuntu.com:80 (91.189.88.37), connection timed out [07:51] W: Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/l/linux/linux-headers-2.6.28-15_2.6.28-15.49_all.deb [07:51] Unable to connect to security.ubuntu.com http: [07:51] Frivero: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[07:52] toupeiro: No, there's nothing preventing that. [07:52] i got linux headers 2.6.27-7 that good? [07:53] Frivero : change server [07:53] Someoneis: Why do you need to manually buid madwifi? [07:53] 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] public DNS services cost money, money I don't have to be honest. [07:53] myownserver: it's free [07:53] it says so, so i can install it [07:53] just use 4.2.2.2 and bam, free dns [07:53] 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 : [07:53] 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] zvacet: how? [07:53] Frivero: Try again. [07:54] Frivero: system>admin>software sources [07:54] zvacet, I'm guessint ext2 for the sake of it, and trying to understand what superblock I need for e2fsck -b in order to get the copy of the block info [07:54] 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] myownserver> and work with DHCP [07:54] leaf-sheep: tried several times and still get error [07:54] myownserver> depending on what kind of router you have [07:54] darlek: sorry I can not help you with that one [07:54] 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] Frivero: Even "sudo aptitude update ; sudo aptitude full-upgrade" ? [07:55] zvacet, no prob [07:55] myownserver: what exactly are you trying to do? i think you have the wrong idea of what a dns server does [07:55] In other words, I'm trying to learn and understand them in the practicality sense now. [07:55] there are tons of free dns servers [07:55] whats the different between aptitude and apt-get? [07:55] leaf-sheep: havent tried that one [07:55] 4.2.2.2-5, opendns, 151.164.1.8, etc, etc [07:55] 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? [07:56] 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] leaf-sheep: you can normally fo this without fns by netbios and wins [07:56] myownserver: what are you trying to do with a dns server; what do you think they provide????????? [07:57] woohoo its compiling, many thanks for helping me [07:57] and sorry all for the flood [07:57] poent: Commandline Package Manager. There also are Synaptic or Add/Remove for GUI. [07:57] 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] you ignored me! [07:57] poent: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/aptitude [07:57] is 'fuse' still a module in jaunty? [07:58] 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] dotblank: What do you mean? [07:58] 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. [07:59] leaf-sheep: ask yourself how does windows know the ip address of a computer by hostname [07:59] when i make install i get this error, make[1]: Entering directory `/home/simpsons/madwifi-hal-0.10.5.6-r4068-20090705/ath' [07:59] test -d //lib/modules/2.6.27-14-generic/net || mkdir -p //lib/modules/2.6.27-14-generic/net [07:59] mkdir: cannot create directory `//lib/modules/2.6.27-14-generic/net': Permission denied [07:59] make[1]: *** [install] Error 1 [07:59] make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/simpsons/madwifi-hal-0.10.5.6-r4068-20090705/ath' [07:59] make: *** [install-modules] Error 1 [07:59] Someoneis: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:59] 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] myownserver: DynamicDNS is DNS that allows automatic record updates, usually by a DHCP server [07:59] 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] Oops [07:59] for example, let's say i own meth-lab.biz [07:59] Someoneis: run "sudo make install" [08:00] oops, that was not what was planned [08:00] HI, There, How can I install gnutls-devel-2.* libarary onto ubuntu-8.04.3? [08:00] 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] which is a lot harder to remember than meth-lab.biz [08:00] Correct. [08:00] 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] 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] Ben64: Now what about over a LAN? [08:00] Someoneis: do you still need help? [08:01] sooooo myownserver, what are you trying to accomplish? where are you going that they want you to pay for dns resolution? [08:01] myownserver: what about a lan? [08:01] I tried "apt-get install libcurl4-gnutls-dev " and "apt-get install gnutls-dev", but they are all gnu-tls -1.0 [08:01] oh not any more.. just did sudo make install instead of make install walla [08:01] sudo e2fsck -b 8193 /dev/sdb not working... any ideas on recovering a superblock error for a root drive in ext2? [08:01] nmvicky: you have shortcut for that you can see it before you capture mouse gesture [08:01] dyndns.com is one. [08:01] leaf-sheep: you could always do a braodcast ping for host discovery [08:01] how can i find out what wireleess card drivers i have? [08:01] darlek: you might want to try /dev/sdb1 [08:01] Someoneis: lspci -v [08:01] thanks [08:02] Does anyone have any ideas where to start? [08:02] myownserver: seems free to me [08:02] 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] 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] myownserver: yes a local dns server can do that [08:03] myownserver: DNS can do that for you, yes [08:03] It is possible [08:03] Ben64, yes tried that too :( ... I'm googling [08:03] zheng_, can I pm you? [08:03] ciao a tutti [08:03] thanks for the link leaf-sheep [08:03] alright guys, be right back. Rebooting [08:03] !list [08:03] This is not a file sharing channel (or network). If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » [08:03] ALexia, yes [08:03] darlek: try sdb2 and sdb3 and so on, parted can show you the partition table of it [08:03] poent: Sure thing. [08:03] Is it complicated to do that and what keeps it local and not public? [08:03] zvacet: ok the problem is after capture,even pressing right_CTRL doesnt show the mouse at all. it like dissapears. [08:03] dotblank: Broadcast ping one machine at a time? [08:03] Ben64, thanks I'll give it a try [08:04] myownserver: you could have it accessed by the hostname of the computer [08:04] like my computer's name is "ben64" so if i go to http://ben64/ on my network, it goes here === tommy is now known as Guest4264 [08:04] Gotcha. [08:04] 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 [08:05] 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] 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] Ben64: Well a lot of it is I'm wanting to learn more about it as well. [08:06] I'm self-taught (too poor to go to college for it), so this is my way of learning things. [08:06] myownserver: open up a terminal, test out the "host" command [08:06] also, try "dig" and "nslookup" [08:06] and whois [08:06] dotblank: Well, I'm trying to accomplish what Ben64 described recently. Using hostnames instead of IP addresses. [08:07] and then you'll never want to deal with dns ever again [08:07] myownserver: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=236093 [08:07] terrible outdated system [08:07] Ben64, thanks, used gparted and found out that drive uses ext3 [08:07] myownserver: good step-by-step in how to build a DNS server in ubuntu [08:07] nmvicky : isn´t it combination of right ctrl + something (I forget exact combination) [08:07] darlek: so it works now? [08:08] leaf-sheep: well samba should have already fixed this [08:08] Hi everyone, sorry to interrupt. 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. I'm creating a website for a local artist/painter that needs exposure soon to help pay for [08:08] Ben64, not yet, I'm having gparted check the drive [08:09] Ben64, since the usb drive is'nt mounted that should be okay [08:09] darlek: hmm, i'd rather use fsck [08:09] Hia, Anyone able to check this post out please, and see if they got any solution ? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1175102&highlight=XFi === tommy is now known as Guest69851 [08:09] Im curious, has anyone in here been tasked with reporting on session idling in Linux? [08:10] where can I get a ldap browser? [08:10] 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] I'm in love with a beautiful distro, and that's allright [08:10] frost_, just post the gist of it here please [08:10] myownserver: the problem is, what you want isn't a dns server [08:10] in other words: if someone has been idle for 48 hours, it would trigger some sort of action, like an email or a pkill [08:11] ALexia: gist ? [08:11] how to export a var for use for all users who use bash? [08:11] b0red: I think there is a bash rc file for that [08:11] 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] frost_, the summary of the problem [08:12] dotblank, nop.. [08:12] Knick: Correct, that would be the most beneficial one. [08:12] myownserver heh, which one? [08:12] Dynamic DNS [08:12] One that allows me to change my IP. [08:12] 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] It doesn't have to be able to auto-update. [08:12] myownserver: you could just buy your own domain, for $9 a year you can have iguessicannothazcheezeburger.com [08:12] if anyone can help me with sound issues please pm me [08:13] Wazzzaaa, what kinds of information would you like about the process [08:13] myownserver ok, there are many. I can recommend some, but it might be better for you just to google "dynamic dns service" [08:13] Ben64, gave me more data, as the fsck didn't run as noted earlier... here's the result http://pastebin.com/f40a34f7d [08:13] myownserver if you need help in setting it up later, just ask [08:13] 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] Wazzzaaa: you should check /proc/(pid) for some info [08:13] Wazzzaaa, you can open the system monitor in system/administration [08:14] how can i prevent sound from playing out of my systems main speakers while headphones are plugged in? [08:14] myownserver: There is another solution [08:14] myownserver: http://cgi.ebay.com/Cisco-Catalyst-2950-24-switch-24-ports_W0QQitemZ250484740505QQcmdZViewItemQQptZCOMP_EN_Hubs?hash=item3a520dd199&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14 [08:14] myownserver: buy one of those [08:14] Ah, the question (which I missed) is deeper than I assumed :) [08:14] poent: depends on the card.. some sound cards have an option in the mixer called "headphones" [08:14] Wazzzaaa, did that help? [08:14] toupeiro: LOL, a switch? [08:15] toupeiro: not just any switch. that runs a Cisco OS, and it can run its own internal DDNS [08:15] darlek: try "sudo -p -f fsck.ext3 /dev/sdb1" [08:15] lol, overkill [08:15] darlek: nvm [08:15] darlek: try "sudo fsck.ext3 -p -f /dev/sdb1" [08:15] poent, what does your audio setup look like? [08:15] had them in the wrong order [08:15] buying a cisco switch just for ddns is way overkill [08:15] 50 bucks, and easier to configure than setting up DDNS from scratch in linux [08:15] Ben64, thanks I'll try it [08:15] LOL, I did mention I'm broke, right? Meaning no money? [08:16] 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] myownserver, probably not going to find a free ddns [08:16] myownserver my suggestion is free :) [08:16] ALexia: hehe. that didnt help much :) [08:16] ALexia uh, yes he/she will [08:16] myownserver: get a domain for $9 a year [08:16] I've got one. [08:16] ALexia I use about 5 different ones now for free [08:16] thats like 2 cents a day [08:17] Knick, seriously? i wasnt aware that free ddns services existed [08:17] 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] my bad 60 dollars [08:17] wait why do you need ddns? [08:17] myownserver: if you got one, then use it...... [08:17] Knick, thats really cool [08:17] anyone else having connection problems to security.ubuntu.com for updates? [08:17] ALexia lol. Since forever [08:17] Really, right now I'm curious to know of other good DDNS services and know more about BIND. [08:17] Knick, well its probably because i havent ever needed one [08:17] Knick, lol [08:17] 60 dollars gets you a 2950 switch, DDNS, and you learn about DNS and cisco IOS [08:18] myownserver: whats the ip of your server? [08:18] myownserver heh, there are all about as good as each other. And hell, the free ones are free :) [08:18] can someone help me figure out why alsamixer will not load [08:18] the error is [08:18] how to export a var for use for all users who use bash? [08:18] your switch is also more of an appliance than a server [08:18] 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] alsamixer: function snd_mixer_load failed: Invalid argument [08:18] 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] myownserver: http://dyndns.com/ [08:19] b0red: /etc/enviroment [08:19] anyone else having connection problems to security.ubuntu.com for updates?

[08:20] sn0n, yes [08:20] Sorry I kind of lost track on my own question. :) So nobodies ever been tasked to determine and report on idle session time in Linux? [08:20] sn0n, i figure give it a day [08:20] doesn't matter, it will always be your ip [08:20] ALexia, darlek - Thank you [08:20] sorry [08:20] so does anyone have any ideas why alsamixer is being STUPID!! lol please try to help me [08:20] It's my neighbor's internet (still trying to figure out who that is. [08:21] sn0n, yw [08:21] myownserver lol, some wireless network action? [08:21] Knick, didn't work [08:21] myownserver: you might be able to use upnp triggering [08:21] I have problm [08:21] Ben64, clearing oprphaned inode still running. hope this works *fingers crossed* [08:21] sietting lx300 [08:21] orphaned [08:21] toupeiro, im not sure what your asking? [08:21] Ben64: If I want to ssh/ftp/etc using hostnames instead of local IP addresses, what am I looking for? BIND9? DNS? [08:21] help me [08:21] Knick: Yeah, with a high-gain antenna. [08:22] 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] jamil, what kind of problem are you having? [08:22] leaf-sheep: easiest way is modifying the hosts file [08:22] Poor man's internet. Thank goodness for apartment complexes [08:22] poent, can i pm you [08:22] leaf-sheep DDNS if you have a dynamic IP, normal DNS if you have a static one [08:22] i'm trying to export PS1 [08:22] how to export a var for use for all users who use bash? [08:22] 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] And unsecured/WEP networks. [08:22] b0red did you use "export"? [08:22] Ben64, Knick: We're talking about local home network. Nothing more. IP changes over time with the router. [08:23] 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] leaf-sheep: make static ip [08:23] WPA networks are killing me. [08:23] b0red use your .profile file and export the var [08:23] poent, check ubuntu forums / google for your PC brand and that module [08:23] toupeiro, feel free to not tell me why but why? [08:23] 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 ? 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] modern system.. [08:23] Knick, i want it lgobal to all users [08:23] myownserver lol. Dictionary attacks? [08:24] Ben64: I'm using a laptop. You mean to make static IPS on the hardwares or via the router? [08:24] Knick: None of them are ever active. [08:24] leaf-sheep: router, if you want to go other places with your laptop ever [08:24] 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] 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] Knick: I just don't even bother. If it's not a WEP network, I leave it alone. [08:25] myownserver heh, you'd like living here. I'm surrounded by unsecured networks. I wouldn't join one though ... [08:25] Over half of the ones I do get on haven't paid their bills. [08:25] I would just goto my neighbor and say.. hey can I use your wirelless? [08:25] Turns out I'm not the only poor one. [08:25] b0red then use your /etc/profile file [08:25] 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] can anyone help me set up evolution or thunderbird to get my hotmail and which one do you recommend? [08:25] 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. [08:26] people that go on my network end up with a "surprise" on their computer [08:26] Knick, local ones are overriding it [08:26] Knick, i'm trying to export PS1 [08:26] toupeiro: ps, w [08:26] b0red export = [08:26] I have both cause I started out on xubuntu and upgraded to ubuntu [08:26] hi guys... [08:26] frost_: have you tried unloading the module from the kernel and re-loading it? [08:26] Ben64, thanks! the fsck.ext3 command has fixed the problem and allowed me to mount the root on the usb drive. Thanks so much [08:26] frost_, well im sorry, i tried [08:26] boohbah: its a bit more complicated than that. :( [08:26] darlek: np, glad it worked for you [08:26] dotblank: what do you mean ? [08:26] toupeiro, give me just a second to think about this [08:26] b0red local ones *will* override it [08:27] just because an login is idle doesnt mean an application is [08:27] yeah ALexia you can pm me [08:27] 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] this is always my delima [08:27] How is the number '15' called in the DEB program package name "linux-image-2.6.28-15-generic"? [08:27] frost_: I dont think you should have to reboot just to re-initialize drivers [08:27] 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] 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] dotblank: like restart alsa + [08:27] ? [08:27] toupeiro: use ps with the 'f' flag to see child processes of that user's login shell, including start and idle time [08:27] myownserver everything you want to do can be done. I did it for free for 5 or so years. Start reading ;) [08:27] unixhag: "aptitude search pidgin" [08:28] frost_: have you done that? no I mean the actually kernel module. try lsmod and finding it [08:28] unixhag: When you want to read information on the package, "aptitude show pidgin" [08:28] myownserver BIND seems complicated, but the actual configuration the average DNS server uses is minimal [08:28] myownserver hell, ubuntu probably has a BIND GUI [08:28] leaf-sheep: handy, thanks. How do I browse through, say, text editors? [08:28] 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. [08:29] 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] s/how/can [08:29] myownserver: bind and dns are really simple [08:29] unixhag: What do you mean? [08:29] 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] 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] aptitude search spreadsheet ?? [08:29] frost_: well usually with a sound card it loads a module into the kernel and then all these other modules load dependant on it [08:30] Yeah, O'Reilly is the book I have on it. [08:30] myownserver heh, how did I know? [08:30] 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] myownserver mostly by the confusion ;) [08:30] frost_: I would just rmmod and inmod the module to re-insert the driver [08:30] I've read a few chapters of it now and now I'm thinking it's way too much. [08:30] toupeiro: you are correct, ps only shows the start time [08:30] unixhag: Well, if you want to search for package (AND DESCRIPTION), you'd like to use "apt-cache search editor" [08:30] dotblank: would the effect be like rebooting ? [08:30] insmod* [08:30] frost_: pretty much [08:30] leaf-sheep: fantastic, thanks very much [08:30] That's why I ask what is it's practicality. [08:31] unixhag: Maybe this, "apt-cache search text | grep editor" [08:31] 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] dotblank: Then it might work, and if that work, how would i build a script for it ? [08:31] boohbah: so I would almost need something that looks at processes, start times, sleep times, and CPU times [08:31] 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] myownserver my gut feeling is you don't [08:31] 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] boohbah: but I've been pretty unsuccessful thus far [08:31] 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] toupeiro: http://linuxshellaccount.blogspot.com/2009/03/finding-processs-idle-time-on-linux-and.html [08:32] 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] joshstrobl: there is kdevelop if you like kde and qt [08:32] joshstrobl please, never mention VB on here again. Thank you. [08:32] 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] 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] Knick> i will if I like [08:32] what's the gtk one... [08:32] joshstrobl: Maybe Anjuta? [08:32] joshstrobl but, you can use any of the QT and (ugh) GTK+ libraries to do what I think you are asking [08:33] the gui creator [08:33] dotblank: and i dont have a usb card. [08:33] joshstrobl VB isn't a programming language [08:33] it's an abomination [08:33] dotblank: could you please make me an example script for doing this ? [08:33] 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] frost are you running pulseaudio? [08:33] hi! [08:33] dotblank: ofc not === baskingshark is now known as paul68 [08:34] anyone know how to configure the nvidia x server, for a pctablet tc1100 as mine never works and crashes [08:34] i was wondering, if there is a way to start a process from a distance machine an pass it to the local [08:34] 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] myownserver you can do it, but you'll have a longer domain name, like "theirdomain.mydomain.DDNSdomain.com" [08:34] glade for gtk gui [08:34] myownserver heh, the email server is the easiest part! [08:34] 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 VB isn't a programming language" I didn't say it was a programming language I said it was a software [08:35] frost_: can you meet me in #alsa [08:35] whats the equivalent of device manager within ubuntu? [08:35] joshstrobl whatever. Good luck. [08:35] Knick: The email server never would send emails. I'm not really understanding of SMTP or POP3. [08:35] poent lol, "lspci -v" [08:35] omw [08:35] poent then "dmesg" === simon__ is now known as ridders [08:35] Knick: I tinkered with Mercury Mail for several hours and it never did work out.

[08:37] Knick > Is squirrelmail easy to set up? [08:37] lspci? [08:37] tuxwulf yes, but keep it updated and use the latest version [08:37] hi friends. whatever i do, pidgin starts on start-up.. i tried sys>pref>startup progs, but pidgin was not there. but pidgin automatically starts at start-up!!!! what can i do???????

[08:37] Is squirrelmail a php-based email system or does it use a mail server? [08:37] can anyone help with when grub attempts to load vista it gives error-13 (invalid or unsupported executable)?

[08:38] ok.. i will do do. thanks. [08:38] tuxwulf there were earlier vulnerabilities that are still regularly exploited with automated tools [08:39] Knick: can squirrelmail be ran on a paid hosting server?

[08:54] George21, I believe its a seperate distro [08:54] spo: Dvd::rip is the one i use. its good imo. [08:54] none of what was posted pertains to my issue, grub is working fine in booting ubuntu, it just won't boot vista. it gives error 13 (invalid or unsupported executable) [08:54] does anyone know "earch mrtg per domains from one server"?

[08:58] spo, or k3b, k3b seems to work better sometimes than brasero [08:58] K link too install on a USB flash drive? [08:58] 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 [08:59] ubuntu is by far the most "noob-friendly" distro i have used [08:59] George21, i would think slackware would be especially hard to have other help you [08:59] that's good too know :) [09:00] i've used red hat 9, suse (many version), slackware, and now ubuntu, and ubuntu wins by a long shot [09:00] Knick: no the reason that ubuntu is a good distro is that most of the work is done for you === Guest45352 is now known as rudeimouse [09:00] whereas gentoo etc you do alot of the work yourself [09:00] craCkpot always stick with the debian based distro! [09:00] Jyxt no, for me it's because it's debian based. Actually, I don't even use ubuntu, I use crunchbang :) [09:00] 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 [09:01] so i'm thinking i need to remap my hdd's [09:01] depends on what your doing ... arch/freebsd are much more efficient on servers than ubuntu [09:01] or debian [09:01] 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] <3 arch [09:01] My 70+ parents use ubuntu :) [09:01] i have some problems with converting cmyk to rgb [09:02] colors are being slightly modified and I don't know how to prevend this [09:02] No brainer for them.

Do I get a cookie? ;) [09:02] chaup, same here ... cracks me up when people I know tell me it's hard ... i have a picture in my wallet for those occasions [09:02] respect. if i look at the image on ubuntu it looks slightly different than on windows (only the colors) [09:02] q [09:02] Knick, no ... because your a dick [09:03] OK here it goes, anyone know where i can find files with ALOT of data for practice data mining? [09:03] ALexia: i am going to try to remap my hdd's, to see if it will correct the issues. i'll be right back in case you find anything. [09:03] hello, anyone got PSI 0.13 ubuntu package? [09:03] They use skype to talk with me. and surf the net. === rudeimouse is now known as rodmouse [09:04] I put them to use windows first but just they can't handle it. [09:04] Knick: i've generally seen better irc support in uh...a different channel, than #ubuntu, sooo many people/unanswered questions/no offense intended but wrong answers too [09:04] can i 'upgrade' from my stable jaunty to karmic alpha 4? [09:04] i just changed the "jaunty" references in my sources.list to "karmic" and it's now running a dist-upgrade. hope it goes ok. [09:04] blind leading blind often [09:05] eMyller: You can. You should get details from #ubuntu+1 (probably the topic there) [09:05] I used to compile my packages. But with ubuntu it saves me a lot of time. [09:05] quick question when i set my BIOS a specific boot order other than the logical SATA-1, 2, etc. the order set is how GRUB sees the HDD order, right? [09:06] chaup > How do you mean, "can't handle it"? [09:06] DigitalKiwi I'll tell you my views in PM if you like ;) [09:06] if you wish [09:06] i only have 116 buffers, one more won't hurt [09:07] okay time to test this remap, be right back. [09:08] Flannel: can i do that in a terminal? i'm on kde and no update-manager is available === scfh_ is now known as scfh [09:09] any one? [09:09] can someone tell me what it means when i find this in /var/log/secure: Connection closed by 20 times beneath each other [09:09] eMyller: You can. There is an update manager for KDE (maybe its integrated into adept? I don't know). Or you can use the update manager in the terminal. But, #ubuntu+1 would be able to give you more details [09:09] Don't each MRTG per IP from one server. my idea is using many VLANs and [09:09] calculate traffic per VLAN. Do you know if this is possible? [09:09] does anyone know?? [09:11] Flannel: adept isn't used anymore in kubuntu, it's 'kpackagekit'. anyway, it's unavailable for me now. i already asked for that in #kubuntu+1 but got no response so far. :| [09:12] security.ubuntu.com a bit overloaded? [09:12] Flannel: i just changed every "jaunty" match in my sources.list to "karmic". running a dist-upgrade now, it's downloading 1.4gb of data. hope i took the right way. [09:12] DrMrHorse, try using a different mirror [09:12] so its not just me. ty. [09:13] eMyller: It'll work, yes. Just make sure you have the proper metapackages. [09:13] for ripping dvds , you guys use k9copy ... is that the only one that can rip encrypted dvds? [09:13] we'll I use us sources so I don't know .. depends on where you're at [09:14] ALexia: were you able to find anything? remapping the drives via device.map didn't work. [09:14] spo: dvd::rip, acidrip, dvd95, depending on what you want...are all decent [09:14] <3 k9copy [09:14] 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] 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] Flannel: metapackages? well, everything is being downloaded from there, i still have nothing here. dunno exactly what u're talking about [09:15] digitalkiwi, i am going to use dvdrebuilder with wine , because it has superior encoder -- cce === wojtek is now known as Guest56492 [09:15] ok [09:16] doubt you'll notice any difference with those other ones but whatever [09:17] Flannel: anyway, thanks :) === greyz|nn is now known as greyz [09:18] guess i'm being ignored again...

[09:22] i upgraded to hardy heron and when i restarted and went to log back in [09:22] whats the problem [09:22] Anyone else having problems updating from Ubuntu reps? [09:22] ubuntu wont recognise my username or password [09:22] rep its a server issue [09:22] so ive had to log in with a live cd to try to figure the problem out [09:22] linuxson25: yes, use a different mirror [09:23] can someone advice flash bootable linux with a lot of software ( + compiz/beryl/emerald/googleearth etc) ? [09:23] DigitalKiwi: Which one could I use? [09:23] do you have cap lock on or are you sure youre hitting the right keys [09:23] caps lock isnt on [09:23] and i know im hitting the right keys [09:23] i tried about 50 times [09:23] 50 Times? Wow. [09:24] maybe a bit of hyperbole [09:24] but i tried a damn sight more than once [09:24] && works similar as ";" ? === jon is now known as Guest73770 [09:24] ? [09:25] && execute the next command right away where ; will await until the first command are completed.

One I am using is timing out === jon is now known as Guest11550 [09:29] well i guess i could reinstall 7.10 off this cd === Guest11550 is now known as rodimus [09:29] then download 9.04 [09:29] burn to cd [09:29] and install [09:29] sounds like the best bet [09:29] but i really dont wanna [09:29] fuck [09:29] that sucks [09:29] thanks for the help [09:29] peterodactyl: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:29] 9,04 is cool [09:29] I am running it [09:29] 9.04 is cool when it works right [09:30] yeah :) [09:30] But most of it does [09:30] 9.04 doesn't seem to be stable on my system for the most part [09:30] Nice hardware support [09:30] i just wish creative would update their drivers [09:30] Tell me about it [09:30] 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? [09:31] ghostknife, i just saw this posted in the ubuntu brainstorm site a day ago [09:31] ghostknife, let me look it up and ill let you know the fix === Someone67` is now known as Someone67 [09:32] New URL for update mirror??? [09:33] ghostknife, you need to install the vpn protocols first [09:33] hello [09:33] 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] ALexia: but the Unlock button is disabled. I can't even reconfigure anything [09:34] ALexia: and I have the PPTP stuff installed. It used to work before [09:34] ghostknife, does this sound like the problem your having? http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/20820/ [09:34] ghostknife, pm me and let me know [09:35] anyone else having trouble connecting to security.ubuntu.com ( 91.189.88.46 ) ?? [09:35] Liquidity_C: yes, use a different mirror [09:35] DigitalKiwi, know any good mirror? [09:35] 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] nope Liquidity_C [09:36] DigitalKiwi, can't I just wait and assume that it gets fixed in time? [09:36] probably [09:36] Anyone know of any good mirrors to update from? [09:36] is there some pressing update you need or installing something? [09:36] DigitalKiwi, not the first time this happens and it usually sorts itself in time [09:36] apparently there's a new kernel and it's stressing the server or something [09:37] DigitalKiwi, no just the recomended latest headers and generic kernel stuff [09:37] poent i would driver uninstalling it and reinstalling it [09:37] i can't type lol unistall the driver then reinstall [09:38] Hello! Does anyone know how to check the WWN of my FC card with qla2xxx driver?

Saw its got new kernel headers in the update [09:40] wasn't there some package that automatically pulled in all the requirements for a lamp stack on 8.10 ?

Appreciate [09:43] linuxson25, any time [09:43] hawaiihim, maybe here or in #networking [09:43] its on ubuntu [09:43] where is keyboard indicator kde 4.3??? [09:44] hawaiihim, go ahead, just ask and we will se what happens :-) [09:44] there's a 4.3 now ? [09:44] yes === Mud is now known as Mud|afk [09:45] 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] the plasmoids thing is just a mess. nice, but so messy [09:47] 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. [09:48] hawaiihim, wireless or wire? [09:48] wire [09:48] hawaiihim: what did you change to break it? [09:48] how could i find if something else ( left over config files or something is blocking a port) ? [09:48] nothing to my knowledge [09:48] L3dPlatedLinux: what? [09:49] 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 [09:50] 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 [09:51] 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] hi guys, how do i find out what wireless card driver i have installed? [09:51] How does one go about doing that [09:52] hawaiihim, just compare the details on the VirtBox (ip, mask, gateway etc.) to the settings on your ubuntu machine [09:53] QuantumKaos, System > Administration > hardwaredrivers [09:55] hmmm, according to my machine I do not have eth0 [09:55] Silurian, check the boot order on your machine, usually by pressing F12 or something at bootup [09:56] i did check that and cdrom is first [09:56] is there a way to start the install from inside kubuntu [09:56] there are many dvd rippers, but k9copy is the onyl one that can rip encrypted dvds, right? [09:56] Silurian, bad cd? does other cd's work? [09:56] spo thats not ture [09:56] spo thats not true [09:56] alexia, then what else can === jon is now known as Guest43894 [09:57] hawaiihim, what? where did you find that? [09:57] yeah they do === Guest43894 is now known as sonroger [09:57] but this is the second one for server i have made [09:57] Silurian, try making a new cd first, burn it slowly, sounds like something weird with the cd to me from here [09:57] could be [09:57] now i need to go buy another cd [09:57] lol [09:58] 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] 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] what speed you recommend [09:58] what would the command gpasswd -a random audio" do? [09:58] lowest? [09:58] hawaiihim, from the same menu select 'edit connections' [09:59] yes [09:59] ALexia: "man gpasswd" tells you [09:59] Silurian, depends on the burner, better safe then sorry though, i often use 24x for important install cd's [09:59] llutz, i know im just being lazy i didnt want to read through the manual [09:59] llutz, lol [09:59] I have Auto vboxnet0.... [10:00] hawaiihim, under the wired tab, what is listed? [10:00] just the vbox [10:00] hawaiihim, that is why, your Vbox is occupying your connection then [10:00] question is 16x writing faster then 24x [10:00] Silurian, nope [10:00] hawaiihim, add a second one and set it up with you ISP settings and see what happens [10:01] ok cool [10:01] cause 16 is the fastest i can write [10:01] so i'll bump it down to 8x [10:02] Silurian, if your burner max speed is 16x you might want to go lower to be safe, but speed does not equal error, the risk just gets a bit higher [10:02] when I go to apply the new connection... it disappears from the wired box [10:02] lol i just realised [10:02] then dvd i just put in is 16x [10:02] i'll recheck when i put a cd in [10:03] hawaiihim, hehe, that is because your system only wants one machine per eth-card [10:03] hmmm... but it worked without fail for about a year this way [10:03] hawaiihim, when you fired up an ubuntu connection now it killed the VBox connection I guess... I never used VBox so I am no expert, that is just my guess [10:04] Thank you for you time. I will reinstall the OS [10:04] Got a strange problem with my Acer Revo... When I hold down a keyboard key, the mouse won't move. I let go of the key and it starts working again... Any ideas? [10:05] hawaiihim, it is weird... try googling your problem and see what others have to say, I might not be the best mentor since I never used vbox, but I really do think that the connections are interferring with each other, maybe some new security update came that did not like how it was working. [10:05] I tried... but this problem, unfortunately seems unique [10:05] hawaiihim, no problem. [10:06] thanks for your time! [10:06] hawaiihim, ok, sorry I could not be of more assistance [10:06] Once again, thank you. good night! [10:07] Liquidity_C: Hi.

[10:31] QuantumKaos, if you have Kubuntu installed now you shouldnt need to change anything [10:31] how do you install the new konversation on ubuntu if you got the old one [10:31] X-Seti: the forums are great too,but in launchpad what is interesting is that you can file a bug, and the bug people will reassign it as a question if they think its a question :) works for me [10:31] yeah i no, but i want to, just feel like my machine needs a deep clean up after all [10:32] X-Seti: of course you can directly ask a question too u know [10:32] poent: good point [10:32] QuantumKaos, no i just meant as far as computer settings(bios,etc) [10:32] QuantumKaos: The difference between X/K/Ubuntu is largely the window manager (XFCE, KDE and Gnome, respectively) [10:32] Abhinav11: hardy sources dont exist now [10:32] Hmmmmmm......I think my nick password and email address just showed up in the irc chat? [10:32] QuantumKaos: Everything else, all the way down to your kernel, is gonna be pretty similar. [10:32] Anyone else see it? [10:33] ezekiel_: Negative [10:33] ok so it doesnt seem i have to make big changes [10:33] ezekiel_, nope you better try it again LOL [10:33] indus: then how can cross compile gstreamer using mingw [10:33] QuantumKaos: I would wager no changes at all. [10:33] Abhinav11: ok iam a noob to compiling [10:33] i read about a "wum" installation or something like that, which is supposed to make ur ubuntu as best as it could be, i might be wrong though [10:33] lol, this is the biggest channel in all of freenode [10:33] Abhinav11: what are you trying to do [10:33] QuantumKaos, you will like gnome, i think its a better window manager overall than kde [10:33] QuantumKaos: Unfamiliar. [10:33] QuantumKaos: there is nothing like 'wum' [10:33] QuantumKaos: You basically have to install the ubuntu-desktop package. No need to do a clean install. [10:34] QuantumKaos, but obviously not everyone would agree with me [10:34] gnome is more stable than kde, thats fer sure [10:34] QuantumKaos: Pffft, XFCE > everything [10:34] indus: I want to program a recorder for windows using gstreamer [10:34] :P [10:34] kde seems kinda "unfinished" for me [10:34] Abhinav11: ok [10:34] cool [10:34] alright [10:34] Koken, me too and kde 4.3 feels like a "worse" version of vista [10:34] wubi maybe? thats a really simple way to set up a dual boot with ubuntu from windows? [10:34] yes! [10:34] heh [10:34] wubi! [10:34] ok, so nothing i need, i was wrong :D [10:35] well, hopefully, future releases of kde will be stabler, you know [10:35] lol yeah [10:35] I tried to install etch but it giving some error [10:35] QuantumKaos: wubi hmm, thats not any better than a real install [10:35] no no i got it i got it [10:35] majuk, i like xfce too, but gnome is better for noobs [10:35] things just dont work the way they should, it feels like [10:35] Abhinav11: u want to install ubuntu now? [10:35] oh hey, xfce is cool 2 [10:35] Alexia: Pffft, noobs, who needs 'em. :P [10:35] lol [10:35] mounting a samba file system is giving me problems.. if I use mount -t cifs it sort of works but I get CIFS VFS: Send error in SETFSUnixInfo = -5, IFS VFS: Negotiating Unix capabilities with the server failed. Consider mounting with the Unix Extensions disabled , if problems are found, by specifying the nounix mount option [10:35] if I mount with nounix I have the odd situation where apps can't overwrite existing files at times [10:35] no I have already [10:35] Koken, yep hopefully plasmoids is just a terrible idea [10:35] bleh..samba [10:35] majuk, lol [10:36] Abhinav11: so u have problems compiling somethings [10:36] so, during the new install, id like to make different partitions on my hard disk, one for home and one for the filesys, will i be able to just using the ubuntu install cd or will i need to use gparted? [10:36] Alexia: If I ever figure a way to run Compiz on top of Fluxbox, I'm gonna lose my mind with joy. [10:36] majuk, yah that would definitely be amazing [10:36] QuantumKaos: live cd comes withgparted [10:36] indus: yah I am getting problem with cross compiling [10:36] majuk, somebody should work on that =) [10:36] you know, i just got here, so i dont know what these guys are talking about (compiling something) but i would try to help if i knew what it was [10:37] QuantumKaos: just select manual install option,then make the partitions [10:37] Alexia: lol, I've been wanting a project, but I think I'd need to be able to code ____ that much first. [10:37] hey [10:37] im not gonna use livecd, ill use the regular one [10:37] speaking of partitioning [10:37] Abhinav11: sorry dont know this [10:37] QuantumKaos: whats a regular one? [10:37] indus: oh :( [10:37] i recommend you use gparted to edit your partitions before installing, because gparted is really easy to use [10:37] not the live one :D [10:37] Abhinav11: whats eht error btw [10:38] so im not gonna be able to make partitions just with the install cd? [10:38] thatz what ur saying? [10:38] Abhinav11: just make sure you have the package build essential installed before any compiling [10:38] no [10:38] QuantumKaos: If you're nuking the whole disc anyway, it won't matter. [10:38] you can make partitions with just the ubuntu cd [10:38] ok so the latest ubuntu server has the latest lamp hey [10:38] QuantumKaos: you mean you have the alternate cd [10:38] QuantumKaos: of course you can [10:38] in system > administration [10:38] lampp [10:38] there is the partition editor [10:38] use it :P [10:38] can someone help me? for some reason when I am using my PC my mouse just suddenly stops working for a few seconds and comes back to life.. when I have spotify running for example when it happens the music skips for a couple of seconds and then comes back.. it happens quite often.. anyone seen this before ? [10:39] majuk, or maybe we could just raise money to pay a developer [10:39] indus: ah ok, there's a partition editor during the install (not from the live cd) right? [10:39] Kingsy101: wireless mouse? [10:39] i guess your computer is freezing up or something [10:39] indus - no USB [10:39] if your music starts skipping [10:39] QuantumKaos: of course, all of them have it [10:39] maybe your computers slow [10:39] Alexia: lol, and I'm unemployed. Any MORE of my shortcomings you'd like to out tonight?! :P [10:39] i dunno [10:39] Kingsy101: hmm music skips? what is this spotify application? [10:39] majuk, wow i pulled that out of you like "magic" lol [10:39] ROFL [10:40] Hi! How can set ubuntu to use metacity as default instead of compiz? [10:40] indus: for that I have to use to hardy, currently doing the same [10:40] indus: ok [10:40] indus - its just a free music application running under WINE [10:40] why is this the biggest room on the entire freenode network? [10:40] Abhinav11: use hardy for what? [10:40] #ubuntu [10:40] majuk, what is a raffle anyway? [10:40] indus: I am following http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/wiki/GStreamer_Cross_Compile_With_MinGW_In_Chroot_Environment [10:40] Kingsy101: maybe itsthe application only which is troubling the mouse [10:40] Koken: Because with Gentoo, you want support. [10:40] :D [10:40] heh [10:41] indus - naw it seems to happen even if I have the application closed.. [10:41] i would imagine gentoo would take AGES to install [10:41] Alexia: I don't know, I just randomly slam keys [10:41] it never used to [10:41] Sarge_TJ : in applications>other you can choose what you want to use [10:41] OMG!!! i just want my sound to work, does anyone know how to fix it. my sound is extremely low and i cant increase volume [10:41] This channel is so much more cozy than all the rest! [10:41] Kingsy101: hmm usb port problem? could be anything really, tried another mouse? [10:42] imagine expecting every computer to be able to compile an ENTIRE FREAKING OPERATING SYSTEM in a reasonable amount of time [10:42] place head on keyboard | roll head [10:42] alexia [10:42] i can help [10:42] indus - yea I guess I will just try the obvious things then [10:42] np thanks [10:42] Koken, really? [10:42] probably [10:42] Koken, that would be amazing [10:42] Abhinav11: iam a little confused? why cant you cross compile inside jaunty? [10:42] hmm, well, on my computer, there are multiple sliders in the advanced volume control [10:42] Alexia: I would check things like the setting on PCI, Front, the different components. Although I'll bet you have because I am unable to be right tonight. [10:42] and some of them affect eachother [10:43] Abhinav11: all those steps can be done in jaunty too, dont you have mingw there? [10:43] !info mingw [10:43] Package mingw does not exist in jaunty [10:44] zvacet: Yes, but my point is that I want my system to automatically use metacity when booting, because now it starts compiz everytime I boot. [10:44] indus: I don't have mingw [10:44] Abhinav11: nvm dont know how i can help [10:44] witam [10:44] hey whats that starwars telnet thing? [10:44] Alexia: lol, you got me talking about Fluxbox and Compiz, I thought I was talking in #gentoo. gg [10:45] how do I install a .bin file?? [10:45] Abhinav11: hmm minimalist gnu for windows :) [10:45] bluegoon: just use terminal and say ./filename.bin [10:45] indus kk [10:45] bluegoon: or sh filename.bin [10:45] Join now for on-line class now: http://snipurl.com/qd45t [10:45] Meeting Key: thinkdigit [10:45] bluegoon: tryfirst one [10:45] I changed my eth0 to static and now it says wired device not managed whats up with that? [10:45] poent, ask google. [10:45] where would my CDrom be located in the terminal? [10:46] indus: check I am going to use mingw32 but not able to download that [10:46] indus: i think ive found what i was looking for, ive got 3 extra hd on this machine and they have an ntfs filesys, so i guess i'll have to install ntfs-3g right? [10:46] bluebaron_, /media if mounted [10:46] Abhinav11: why not? [10:46] Sarge_TJ : if you don´t want to use compiz then system>preferences>appearance>visual effects>no [10:46] bluebaron_, phy device should be /dev/sr0 or somit [10:46] QuantumKaos: no its installed by default [10:46] got it under media, thanks :)\ [10:47] indus: check 2.2 in that page [10:47] QuantumKaos: its a text mode installer right? [10:47] there is first command to update sources.list [10:47] Declaration dropped，what does means? [10:47] bluegoon: why u locating it under terminal? [10:47] indus: after updating that when I am trying to update apt-get I am getting error [10:47] \ [10:47] \ [10:47] \ [10:47] bluegoon: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [10:48] Abhinav11: what kind of error? [10:48] what is the best browser atm? [10:49] Abhinav11: but in any case, i suggest use hardy for this kind of work [10:50] Vinceman:: bad question [10:50] indus: error is E: Malformed line 3 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list (URI parse) [10:50] Vinceman: IE 8 [10:50] :D [10:50] lol [10:50] IE6! [10:50] Vinceman: use firefox, iceweasel a lots to try [10:50] Abhinav11, apt source mis configured [10:50] g'day everyone. i have been having a weird issue with firefox for a while now but it's now getting annoying and wonder if anyone else has this too. i have disabled all firefox addons except the ubuntu one. the problem is that any time there is a ' (qoute) in a page in an article on google reader it gets replaced with ’ why is that? [10:50] Abhinav11: ok then the url iswrong [10:50] laclasse, found it. telnet towel.blinkinglights.nl [10:50] Vinceman: They're all free, decide for yourself! ;) [10:50] Vinceman : this is not pool try them and see whitch one you like the best Opera,Firefox,Epiphany [10:50] psypher246, hello [10:51] Abhinav11: check for special characters in the url [10:51] Vinceman: try opera, its great [10:51] Vinceman: very fast [10:51] Vinceman: looks ugly with ubuntu though [10:51] check that page there is given how to update sources.list [10:51] How do I mount an .iso image ? (Without burning it) [10:51] indus: 8-) [10:51] indus : in same section [10:52] * icarus-c hates brown [10:52] hey guys, how can I allow access to apache from only localhost? [10:52] it is the fundamental reason i don't use ubuntu primarily [10:52] Abhinav11: that section where it says update sources.lsit? [10:52] icarus-c: wait till karmic [10:52] cha0s:: firewall i guess [10:52] sudo mount /path/to/iso/image.iso mountpoint -o loop [10:52] Abhinav11: for ubuntu hardy [10:53] cha0s: You can change the read permissions so only users/root can see the folder. [10:53] indus:: will change colour? [10:53] indus: yah [10:53] I tried: Order allow,deny\nAllow from localhost\nAllow from 127.0.0.1 [10:53] cha0s: via chmod, naturally [10:53] icarus-c: yeah i think,a darker shade maybe === Sonata-Arctica is now known as synk4 [10:53] eltese : http://www.ubuntugeek.com/mount-and-unmout-iso-images-without-burning-them.html [10:53] icarus-c: brown has a lot of variety [10:53] majuk: make it so www-data can't read the folder? what..? [10:53] vidyadhara: you'd be suprised the amount of users who want a gui for that, its so simple [10:53] I am adding that in /mingw-chroot/etc/apt/sources.list [10:54] * icarus-c hates whatever appears to be brown [10:54] Abhinav11: so u added those lines to the 9.04 sources list??? === william is now known as Guest16850 === Guest16850 is now known as WilliamC2 [10:54] eltese: or http://www.ubuntugeek.com/easy-way-of-mountunmount-iso-images-in-ubuntu.html [10:54] icarus-c: thats wrong. many things are brown and beautiful, [10:54] im writing a script to start up a service using init.d stuff ... apparently i cannot use & in a script, is there some other way to run it in the background? [10:54] icarus-c: chocolate! [10:54] ActionParsnip:: people can't type these days [10:54] icarus-c: you probably scared of ubuntu brown, its actually some orange [10:54] icarus-c: i know, its sad [10:55] icarus-c: the only thing which i change in ubuntu is the window border [10:55] indus:: yay ubuntu brown is the worst brown i've ever seen [10:55] indus: yah I added these lines in above given address [10:55] icarus-c: you can skin and theme youur desktop as you please [10:55] Gmount-iso would work for those wanting a gui to mount iso files. [10:55] indus: i.e /mingw-chroot/etc/apt/sources.list [10:55] icarus-c: you can even make it look like vista/xp/osx [10:55] ActionParsnip:: that's actually the first thing i do after i install ubuntu B-) [10:55] hello can someone please tell me how to set ubuntu to open brasero when i pop in a blank cd instead of nautil cd dvd creator? [10:56] plz suggest a GPS software [10:56] icarus-c: i have a script to gut the system and install drivers and plugins, first thing :) [10:56] Should I recompile the kernel? [10:56] sonroger:: Nautilus -> Edit -> Preferences -> Media [10:56] WilliamC2: no need really [10:56] Abhinav11: hmm maybe chrooting is wrong [10:56] icarus-c, thank you [10:56] WilliamC2:: any reason? [10:56] Abhinav11: you are trying to build a chroot hardy environment in 9.04 i believe [10:57] I remember that the kernel used to come with stuff that was useless and slowed down kernel initialization. [10:57] ActionParsnip:: good idea [10:57] indus: no I have 8.10 [10:57] Abhinav11:so chroot inside 8.10 then === angela is now known as Guest11134 [10:57] icarus-c, theres no option there for a blank cd [10:57] WilliamC2: the kernel comes up damn fast, you can disable services using bum if you like, that will reduce running servicesas well as speed up boot [10:57] plz suggest a software which can show maps like google maps and also show my current position if I connect a GPS module [10:57] Abhinav11: maybe ActionParsnip might know this [10:58] indus: sup? [10:58] WilliamC2, recompiling the kernel for performance nowdays is pretty much useless. The stock kernels are so fast as is [10:58] ActionParsnip: hello u familiar with chroot? [10:58] Dextorion, do they come with hyperthreading support? [10:58] indus: i use it in gentoo installs, otherwise no === DaZ- is now known as DaZ [10:58] WilliamC2: yes they do [10:58] WilliamC2, yes [10:58] ok [10:58] oh, ok [10:58] sonroger:: see the drop-down menu next to Type? [10:58] ActionParsnip beat me to it! [10:59] Abhinav11: could you post your question to ActionParsnip he 'may' help [10:59] WilliamC2: to see what your cpu can do under the current kernel run: cat /proc/cpuinfo [10:59] cat /proc/cpuinfo [10:59] crap [10:59] WilliamC2: in a terminal [10:59] lol [10:59] ROFL [10:59] lool [10:59] that was funny [10:59] ActionParsnip: hello I am getting some problem when I am following http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/wiki/GStreamer_Cross_Compile_With_MinGW_In_Chroot_Environment [10:59] WilliamC2:: you don't seem to be a man who could compile his own kernel :P [11:00] ActionParsnip: in section 2.2 how to update sources.list [11:00] I've done it before, before KDE or GNome existed. [11:00] WilliamC2: not in irc terminal :P in system [11:00] happens sometimes [11:00] i remember a guy who tried a whois but forgot the / [11:00] ActionParsnip: when I am trying to so getting error "E: Malformed line 3 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list (URI parse)" [11:01] Abhinav11: can you pastebin the file in error please [11:01] De Javu? i think i've seen the question a few seconds before [11:01] icarus-c, yes i see it === greyz|nn is now known as greyz [11:01] The other problem I have is that I cannot get my computer out of suspension.

[11:02] WilliamC2: thats a real pain to get nice, ive never bothered. such a pain [11:02] ActionParsnip: http://gstreamer.pastebin.com/m2658b498 it is the sources.list file [11:03] hi, what's a good mono space font that's available on the last three ubuntu releases? [11:03] and packaged with the base system?

First lines come from your pastebin. I corrected them. The rest is my sources.list as an example. [11:08] ActionParsnip: yah, but what url should be there? [11:08] Abhinav11: http://paste.ubuntu.com/255644/ [11:09] minimec: Should I use that in same form ? [11:09] Abhinav11: use that pastebin but change all occurences of jaunty to hardy [11:09] is there some issue with Sun Virtualbox 3.xx running in Ubuntu 8.10? I had to uninstall it because my system was acting weird... getting disk full errors when trying to download from firefox etc. [11:10] Abhinav11: comment out the lines you have so we can keep them but they will be ignored [11:10] minimec: you have mixed repos [11:10] minimec: zvacet is righ, your top 3 lines are hardy [11:11] zvacet: ActionParsnip The first lines come from the pastebin that Abhinav11 pasted... [11:11] ActionParsnip : at the bottom is one intrepid thnat is what I have on mind first few are esxample [11:11] Abhinav11: http://repogen.simplylinux.ch/ [11:12] how to identify a usb device [11:12] I added the virtualbox repos to my repository list and installed virtualbox 3... and it crippled my system.. is there any advantage in running virtualbox 3 over virtualbox-ose? IF so, how do I install virtualbox 3 without it bringing my system to its knees? [11:13] try ketchup [11:13] it solves everything [11:13] do they have an svn for virtualbox 3? [11:13] Hi, in Open Office Presentation I want to wrap text around a picture. How do I do this? [11:13] if you can compile virtualbox 3, then it shouldn't cripple anything Ziggyzxxyl [11:14] I personally tend to compile software instead of add more repos except for extremely trusted sources [11:14] like wine [11:15] i just connected a printer via usb ,it showed me "usb 4-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice" but how to identify the usb path for this ??? === ShadowChild is now known as lukjad007 [11:17] <-- oh man does the update work smoothly or what [11:17] End of Lastlog [11:17] goddamn paste [11:17] hello there, need little help. where can i find drivers to my monitor (Samsung SyncMaster-740bf) cuz I want to connect it via DVI and works only on analog connector :( [11:17] combo: you dont have drivers for monitors, only video cards [11:18] ActionParsnip: yesterday I was trying to "install" AIGLX drivers (have Radeon 9600) with modyfing xorg.conf file. looks that everything works well byt still can;t use DVI [11:18] combo: you need to tell xorg to use the dvi [11:19] ActionParsnip: hm, sounds good. you know how to ? :) [11:19] ActionParsnip: wait! i remember that I've typing there "PCI" somethning instead DVI , hmm.. [11:20] ActionParsnip: if you have a sec, can you take a look at this - http://wklej.org/id/136942/ , plz :) [11:20] Can someone tell me how to change my Root password? [11:21] jamiewan: you dont [11:21] jamiewan: you dont need it [11:21] !roo | jamiewan [11:21] Sorry, I don't know anything about roo [11:22] !root [11:22] Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [11:22] Can someone that is able to play OpenArena online paste me their q3config.cfg please. [11:22] Does anyone here know how to wrap text around a picture in OpenOffice Impress? [11:23] Its more about that i have a few family usere who know what it is and take it upon themselves to update stuff while i'm not home [11:23] jamiewan: add them to the admin group, they can thenuse sudo [11:24] jamiewan: the root account is completely unnecessary and so is disabled [11:24] this is very frustrating cause i dont want them to use it at all [11:24] jamiewan: In this case you could give you r family members some 'sudo' rights. Open users-admin ... [11:24] jamiewan: then dont have them in the dmin group and they cant use sudo and will be true "users" [11:25] ActionParsnip: Yes thats it thanx [11:25] jamiewan: you dont need root, forget root [11:26] how does sudo improve security ? everybody knows about it and if they can get an admin account what denies them sudo access ? would it not be easyer to use a root account name people cannot guess ? [11:27] x404x: no not reall [11:27] x404x: you have to be in the right group to use it, you also need to take extra steps to do admin things [11:27] x404x: sudo helps with control [11:27] !sudo [11:27] sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) [11:27] x404x: you also are running the desktop and other apps as user so only apps yu run using sudo and gksudo are ran with elevated priveledges so makes your system more secure [11:28] x404x: root is common to all *nix boxes, if the account is disabled then their is a 0% chance of the account being captured [11:29] x404x: if it has a password this is increased and also programs running as root may be captured and their access used. If this is user then the access is drastically reduced [11:29] yes so why not simply let the user make up an accont name that nobody can guess ? then they cant hack it [11:29] x404x: so runnig irc clients and web browsers is hugely foolhardy [11:29] ActionParsnip: root isnt disabled is it, [11:29] x404x: a user with sudo privileges is "a root account name people cannot guess" [11:29] i find it frustrating using sudo every time i need to edit a file [11:29] x404x: then use sudo -i while you edit stuff [11:30] x404x: u can get a root terminal [11:30] ActionParsnip: its just that when i do get prompted for password everyone at home knows it and screws things about a bit [11:30] x404x: you can exit / quit the sudo -i once you are done [11:30] x404x: ya what ActionParsnip is saying,sudo -i will give u # [11:30] x404x: i can not konw which username in your box is in admin. but if you enable root i know for sure whos login name i woulb attack [11:30] !sudo > x404x [11:30] x404x, please see my private message [11:30] x404x: ya type exit at terminal will bring u back to user [11:30] hello, I just installed ubuntu 9.04 on a macbook pro, 4-1 and i was trying to get wireless to work. the problem is that if i try to disable the broadcom driver, it asks me to authorize and then does nothing and gives me an option to force quit it. any workarounds? [11:31] jamiewan: then you must decide what is best for your setup, you could deny them it and you could cron a daily job for updates, or ssh in yourself and run the updates [11:31] ActionParsnip: Well... The problem is, that you get complete root access to the computer, when starting in 'recovery mode'. There you have the root account without any password. 'sudo -i' , then 'passwd' closes that hole... ;) [11:32] minimec: so at boot anyone can get in thru recovery??? [11:32] minimec: i know i dislike that too but i guess its a handy local backdoor [11:32] ActionParsnip: Is that really the case????\ [11:33] jamiewan: yes. [11:33] jamiewan: yes, the root account is open if you access the system locally in a recovery mode root bootup [11:33] minimec: if the attacker has phisical access to the computer there is nothing you can do to prevent the attack except full disk encryption. period [11:33] so really passwords are quite useless then [11:33] erUSUL: I agree with you. [11:34] if you have fysical access to a machine what is stopping you from doing anything? [11:34] jamiewan: if you have local system access then you arent really hacking are you.. [11:34] ActionParsnip: obviously not [11:34] full disk encryption + no usplash + vga=ask (find highest resolution) rocks! [11:35] if you want you can always set a grub and BIOS password [11:35] jamiewan: so by aving passwords you keep the web hacker people out but people walking by can use the root account in recovery mode [11:35] then lock the computer into a safe or something that will keep it away from intruders [11:35] jamiewan: they can also take a chainsaw to it and damage the system that way, they have physical access [11:35] ActionParsnip: yes makes sense [11:35] how to purge the temp folder in linux jaunty? [11:36] hm guess i should use the root console more i lost a long config file yesterday coz i forgot to type sudo and it refused to store the file [11:36] scizzo-: how so [11:36] i pasted out to another file but it only saved the page i was on, not the whole file [11:36] x404x: once the system is up and running, sudo is rarely needed [11:36] Hi! === IBM is now known as Guest90972 [11:36] jamiewan: physical access to a machine can let you do anything with it [11:36] Hi rocket16; how are you?; will you build me a rocket? :) [11:36] im hoping i every get the system running still ;( [11:37] struggling a lot with news setup [11:37] how do you install the new konversation on ubuntu if you got the old one [11:37] so many options and none are properly explained in any dox i find ;( [11:37] Yesterday I entered in a Windows Room, and they said that even minesweeper is better than all programmes in Ubuntu [11:37] scizzo-: yes i realise that but i just wondered the best way to keep nosy family out of system thats all. [11:37] Ubuntu is the best! [11:37] ActionParsnip: i have a suggestion, system should automatically use gksu for graphical applications [11:37] rocket16: i'd say it was ok [11:37] jamiewan: passwords [11:37] ActionParsnip: iam gonna put it on brainstorm [11:38] ActionParsnip, What? [11:38] Ubuntu is the best! [11:38] jamiewan: if you do not want them to access the system....BIOS password, GRUB password and so on [11:38] indus: you can just use gksu for both cli and gui apps, easier [11:38] is there someone who has time to help me a little with news setup ? [11:38] rocket16: ubuntu is ok. there is no best [11:38] See, those Windows Guys just insult Ubuntu! [11:38] jamiewan: also setting other options in linux desktop...there is a big amount of messures to take [11:38] i want to setup a local server to host headers only and filter them for spam [11:38] What is minesweeper? [11:38] scizzo-: thanx yeah that prob the best way [11:39] Why so ActionParsnip? Are you a fan of Win-XP so? [11:39] hi friends [11:39] rocket16: no i just understand what an OS is [11:39] Ooo so that's called minesweeper, well I only know gnomine. :) [11:39] Hi ndubula [11:39] jamiewan: like I said if someone has a boot CD or something like that they can access the machine directly...however if you set a BIOS pass you are starting to get somewhere [11:39] x404x, what do you call `news setup` ask a direct question with details [11:39] hi rocket [11:39] rocket16: which is best, a screwdriver or a saw? [11:40] Funny question ActionParsnip. A screwdriver [11:40] i did [11:40] BOTH [11:40] rocket16: but i want to cut wood, is a screwdriver still best? [11:40] first which server is best suited ? inn ? inn2 or cnews ? [11:40] Anyone know a way to disable the IPv6 emulation in Jaunty? [11:40] ndubula, I am from India. You? [11:40] How to auto connect hidden network? cause after i accidentally removed network-tools, and gnome network-tools, after that i re-install it back. Before the remove, i was able to auto connect hidden network. [11:40] @ActionParsnip BOTH [11:40] delicowa: correct answer [11:40] rocket I am from Tanzania [11:41] ActionParsnip, no it is not [11:41] What director is OpenSSL located? [11:41] What directory is OpenSSL located? [11:41] rocket16: there is no best OS, the OS is the tool for the job [11:41] erUSUL, How to auto connect hidden network? cause after i accidentally removed network-tools, and gnome network-tools, after that i re-install it back. Before the remove, i was able to auto connect hidden network. [11:41] i like something what is easy to setup and has a good subject filter for headers and can host headers only ( i have another server doing bodies) [11:41] ndubula, Tanzania is great! [11:41] rocket16: if ubuntu does the job better than a windows system then sure use it [11:41] ActionParsnip, How to auto connect hidden network? cause after i accidentally removed network-tools, and gnome network-tools, after that i re-install it back. Before the remove, i was able to auto connect hidden network. [11:41] OK ROCKET [11:41] Alvinware: Stop that. [11:41] rocket16: i use a few distros and OSes as they suit different needs [11:41] scizzo-: its just that when im not home and wife or daughter is using system, they get a pop up or up[date or whatever and just run the thing without really knowing whats going on [11:41] majuk, what's your problem? [11:42] I'm trying to enable OpenSSL in XChat and I don't know where it is [11:42] Sure, see Ubuntu is virus free, but can the same thing be said about Windows? [11:42] hi my first time [11:42] jamiewan: well I believe that can be setup in a way [11:42] sudo dpkg -i *.deb [11:42] ROCKET: HAVE YOU USED UBUNTU? [11:42] Yes [11:42] rocket16: my file server runs gentoo as the hardwae is old and i want it fast and punchy, it only knows a few base things. an ubuntu server install would be several times the installed size and would do the same job and be slower [11:42] I use Ubuntu 9.04 [11:42] x404x, best google it, there will lots of guides out there. [11:42] rocket16: to be exact, ubuntu is not "virus free", there are linux viruses, just rare [11:42] the main idea is to reduce system load by filtering out the spam and also that i can spend some time sorting out content and not just garbage. also drives still cost money so not hosting spam and bodies is nice [11:43] ROCKET: WHAT ABOUT SUSE SERVER? [11:43] rocket16: bsd has high security and is great for routers, my router runs a variant of bsd [11:43] scizzo-: sometimes i get home and theres rubbish i dont need or crap installed so i was thinking if possible to change root password for that reason [11:43] rocket16: ubuntu is on my desktop and most powerful pc [11:43] @#rocket16 NO Way---I installed windows7 last week on my tower and now it's as slow as hell even with tune up and bitdefender anti virus [11:43] @rocket16 NO Way---I installed windows7 last week on my tower and now it's as slow as hell even with tune up and bitdefender anti virus [11:43] RabidWeezle: According to Kaspersky, there are only 800 pieces of malwares found for linux, but for windows, it is >11000 === jon is now known as Guest435 [11:43] scizzo-: but prob better just set up other user account for them? [11:43] rocket16: do you see my point now [11:43] yes i know deany, theres lots of guides but few options are well explained , maybe i havent found the right guides yet [11:44] ndubula: I have no info about that, since I use Ubuntu Amd 64 Server [11:44] rocket16: best is only a comparison of a product against the needs so is not concrete outside of your own evaluations [11:44] oh for sure rocket16, there isn't as many, and the only way you would have to worry about getting a linux virus is if you were pretty much just trying to get linux warez, but it's out there :) [11:44] !hi | Guest90972 [11:44] Guest90972: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [11:45] ok ok [11:45] jamiewan: should work better yes [11:45] ActionParsnip: No OS is best, but for Ubuntu and other Linux, they are much better than Windows and Mac [11:45] rocket16: again that is speculative. ut for your requirements yes ubuntu is best, millions would agree and millions would disagree [11:45] RabidWeezle: Yes, but I have not met any virus in Ubuntu for 6 years [11:46] hi can i learn ubantu from u ? [11:46] ... [11:46] ActionParsnip: Right, but the second millions are not experts, and why to take views of Novices? [11:46] rocket16: Ask the right person, he/she will say any linux distro are the best choice. :) [11:46] ubottu is the bot there Guest90972 [11:46] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [11:46] Guest90972: ubottu is a bot [11:46] rocket16: they may not be [11:46] #amarok [11:46] rocket16: you cannot assume that, intelligently [11:46] Guest90972, , that's a bot, and you spelled both the bot's name, and the distro's name incorrectly. [11:47] Guest90972: If you have anything to ask about Ubuntu, ask away. [11:47] Guest90972: learn from all of us here, check documentation for ubuntu [11:47] Does anyone know? [11:47] Hi everyone [11:47] Still, ActionParsnip, Ubuntu is better than Windows. If you support Windows, what is your point then? [11:47] The best way I think to "learn" ubuntu is checking out some ubuntu for dummies style books, that's how I learned linux over 10 years ago :) [11:48] rocket16: i support all OSes equally [11:48] !hi | linuxson [11:48] linuxson: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [11:48] rocket16: ubuntu is better than windows is a vague statement [11:48] hi - gnome-panel disappears when switching on/off the second display using twinview via nvidia-settings - could not find anything about it on various forums/bugtrackers, etc. [11:48] Real men program their own OS using pure binary [11:48] indus: Why so? [11:48] WilliamC2, so have you contributed to menuet? [11:48] WilliamC2 could I use assembly instead? [11:48] rocket16, ActionParsnip, indus, et al: Mind taking this to #ubuntu-offtopic? Thanks [11:48] rocket16: same reasons why u feel ubuntu is better [11:48] yeah ok sorry [11:48] off topic [11:48] Bob_Dole, Menuet? [11:49] Why linux is more secure than windows ?? [11:49] Guest90972: the default user model isnt administrator [11:49] coz it dont reboot or crash every 5 minutes ? [11:49] is there any special feature [11:49] Guest90972: one big reason is no viruses, no ports open by default, built in freeeeee firewall which is super etc etc [11:49] !virus | Guest90972 [11:49] Guest90972: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 [11:49] Guest90972: so processes run as users and have much less access to the systm outside the users home [11:49] WilliamC2, it's an OS made from Assembly code. [11:50] Trying to register my nick with nickserve, using xchat....but I dont know how to identify when logging back in [11:50] lol Bob_Dole [11:50] Guest90972: Move to blogs.zdnet.com/threatchaos/index.php?p=311. There you will get your answer [11:50] Guest90972: also the privilege model of running applications where users have limited acess to system processes [11:50] !register | linuxson [11:50] Bob_Dole, there is another OS named LosThos which I don't even understand the purpose [11:50] linuxson: Information about registering your nickname: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration - Type « /nick » to select your nickname . Registration help available in #freenode [11:50] keeps on logging out [11:50] Any sure fire way of doing this? [11:50] Guest90972: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/security [11:51] when i click a url, it doesnt open it up in a web browser but recently installed bluefish editor ? why so :( [11:51] http://www.losethos.com/ [11:51] So, anyways [11:51] ok when you click on the url what application does it open [11:51] Where is OpenSSL installed? [11:51] Hello? [11:52] Anyone there? [11:52] I installed it via package so I don't really know [11:52] how to purge the temp / files of programs that is already uninstalled in jaunty? [11:52] Guest90972: See, Ubuntu or other Linux distributions give the user limited privileges. Only The root or superuser has the permissions to access and overwrite System Files. So, even if any malware gets in, it can not access the system files, since it will run with the privileges of a limited user actually. [11:52] linuxson: Yes [11:52] linuxson: yes what is the question [11:52] how to purge the temp / files of programs that is already uninstalled in jaunty? [11:52] NeXstaR: sudo apt-get --purge autoremove [11:52] linuxson: What's the question? [11:52] halfway through printing jobs, my printer stops printing, pauses for a while then spits out the page half printed, then a lsusb command shows no printer at all,anyone had this problem? [11:52] thanks ActionParsnip [11:53] NeXstaR: if you run: dpkg -l | grep rc you will see all the apps with residual configs etc, you can then run: sudo dpkg -P to remove them [11:53] homebrewcider: hmm possible causes, faulty usb port, faulty cable, a bug in the driver itself, printer power button etc [11:53] homebrewcider: if you dont see any of thse issues in windows, then its a driver issue [11:53] Hey all, is there a way to open a Password Protected Chatroom in freenode? Such that me and my friends can access it to make a conference? [11:54] I've eliminated the cable and port as problem, uninstalled driverf and reinstalled [11:54] join #network [11:54] what I was thinking [11:54] kwl thanks ActionParsnip... [11:54] homebrewcider: what printer [11:54] Canon Mp610 [11:54] hi any one there ?? [11:54] sorry, m back, Connection was lost ! [11:54] Guest90972: Yes [11:54] homebrewcider: so canon supplies the drivers for this? or ubuntu automatically does? [11:55] Guest90972: What is the question? [11:55] how can i upgrade a package (gstreamer) with a new version i compiled from source without breaking the package management? [11:55] Flannel, Mind if I put a list why is Linux better than Windows here? [11:56] rocket16: better to do a link...dont spam the channel [11:56] http://imgur.com/L53Lb.png [11:56] Ok then [11:56] The link is http://kerneltrap.org/node/5610 [11:58] rocket16, thats a ridiculous article [11:58] deany: Why so? [11:59] rocket16, for one thing, "why windows is better than Linux" (which linux?) [11:59] deany: join #ubuntu-offtopic ...........this is a support channel not a offtopic channel [11:59] deany: Just ignore that, since the article below "Why is Linux vetter than Windows" is remarkable [12:00] got canon ones [12:00] ok, just sounds like someone who booted it up, was expecting windows like usage, failed epicly, and just bitched about it on a blog [12:00] Heading for Ubuntu-Offtopic. See you all again! [12:01] MP610-2.80-cups-ppds-1.0 actually [12:03] it's as if printer goes offline [12:04] hi all, using jaunty now, I downloaded the karmic iso, just wondering if there is a quick way to upgrade with it? I've mounted it as a loop device, but no idea what to do from here :p [12:05] dbglt: if it's a alternate cd...it can be upgraded otherwise i am afraid u have to do a fresh installation from a live cd [12:05] How is the number '15' called in the DEB program package name "linux-image-2.6.28-15-generic"? Is this the 'distribution patch level'? [12:05] murlidhar: ah, that's annoying, damn [12:05] murlidhar: and it's not recommended to just edit your sources to upgrade, is it? [12:05] dbglt: not recommended at all [12:06] hi, i'm trying to learn how to make C programs in linux. can anyone point me to a downloadable PDF of a good book for this? [12:06] how can i hack my root password? [12:06] i have some experience in c programming but i'm getting confused about what libraries to use or what commands to use when programming in linux [12:07] i got spoiled by the conio.h library, you could say. [12:07] temporarytao: use any file editor and save the file with .c extension then use run gcc /file/path .............. someone correct me if i am wrong please [12:07] yeah conio is nice ;=) [12:07] dbglt: yes is possible to edit and upgrade [12:07] I'm trying to enable OpenSSL support [12:07] http://pastebin.com/m4270a6f6 [12:07] indus: aye, am aware it's possible. Would just like to minimise potential issues [12:07] dbglt: but i rather use the update manager to do it [12:07] It's installed but I'm getting issues [12:08] indus: update manager would do the same thing, no? [12:08] yes [12:08] murlidhar, i've got that part alread [12:08] bum [12:08] dbglt: its possible to upgraade from cd itself [12:08] wrong window [12:08] indus- drivers are MP610-2.80-cups-ppds-1.0 [12:08] i just need a downloadable PDF guide to follow so that i can get acquainted with c programming in linux [12:09] temporarytao: google ftw [12:09] indus,murlidhar: I've got the desktop cd, not the alternate one. If I get update manager to add the cd as a repoistory, isn't that just as problematic as manually editing my sources.lst? [12:09] homebrewcider: seems like a driver issue frankly, write to cannon maybe [12:09] murlidhar, done and done... :) [12:09] murlidhar, but no dice [12:09] :( [12:09] dbglt: both are easy [12:09] temporarytao: ah let me check it for ya [12:10] dbglt: whats your questionb though [12:10] indus: I'm not sure I follow. I don't mind difficulty factor, I just want to make sure there are no problems in upgrading [12:10] prints 90% of the time no problem, scans as well, but spat the dummy tonight on the same page on 2 separate occasions with a restart in between [12:10] indus: is there a way to upgrade with the desktop cd, that is not likely to cause any problems? [12:10] dbglt: you can't add the live cd as a repository afaik [12:10] indus: *or liable to cause any problems, even [12:10] murlidhar: ahhh, that'd make sense [12:10] if i can't get a downloadable pdf, is there a "devhelp" package i can use to search around for what libraries are available by default? [12:11] temporarytao: gcc --help ? [12:11] you know, like the stdio, stdlib, conio, etc etc etc help that turbo c offered [12:11] dbglt: ok live cd not possible it seems [12:12] sorry for the delay [12:12] i am back [12:12] anu help buddies [12:12] any help buddies [12:12] i need to get through my PC [12:12] murlidhar, that's the help for the gcc compiler. i already rtfm for gcc :) [12:12] i don't have root rights [12:12] and my grub is password protected [12:13] For some reason CTRL-ALT-F1 and similar keys have stopped working in Jaunty for me....are there updates that could have messed it up? [12:13] dbglt: but remember , this upgrade will remove any packages not installed from cd i read somewhere [12:13] temporarytao: http://www.cs.uiowa.edu/~rus/Courses/SysSoft/GDB.pdf [12:14] bhavesh2177: are u sure its your computer :-) [12:14] temporarytao: i did not open the pdf but you might find something interesting .......do tell me if it's of no use to you [12:14] yes sir [12:14] but i am a junior technician [12:15] so no root for me [12:15] bhavesh2177: i posed the same question about 20 minutes ago and got back a very sure NO YOU CAN"T [12:15] murlidhar, thanks. checking it out now...

[12:32] I can't boot :( [12:32] I mean, login [12:32] oguncak, 2.6 source code maybe, it takes some time before a deb is compiled [12:33] oguncak, I use getdeb, its quicker [12:33] there was a deb package also, but when compiling it gave an error: "dependency" etc. [12:34] Dr_Willis: my printer is not supported by default so i have to load the drivers [12:34] oguncak, it might be available I dont know, I`m still using 2.5.8 which works fine. let me add the ppa and have a look [12:35] deany ok.. waiting [12:36] Dr_Willis: i did exactly the samething as here http://www.unixmen.com/linux-distributions/ubuntu/229-installation-canon-lbp2900-on-linux but no use [12:37] I have no idea.. I have a canon 1600 that works now.. i just plug mine in.. i jsut have to say that i a not ever going to buy a canon printer again. :) And thats all i know on the topic. Check the ubuntu forums perhaps to see if others have issues with it as well [12:37] how can i change the subtitle font on vlc?? i try to change it to liberation-sans, but it uses something default like sans or sth else..??? [12:37] oguncak: Be patient. Pidgin's latest version are available in source (tar.gz) but only ONE pidgin developer maintaining that PPA. He'll get around to it and update the PPA to latest. [12:37] (whenever he can... and when he have time to do it). [12:38] ... [12:38] ok.. then no problem.. i have to be patient.. thanks deany.. very much.. [12:38] oguncak, ok, 2.5.8 is the latest available from their ppa [12:38] any one speak Arabic please [12:38] What's Arabic?

This is libtool 2.2.6, but the [12:39] libtool: definition of this LT_INIT comes from libtool 2.2.7a. [12:39] libtool: You should recreate aclocal.m4 with macros from libtool 2.2.6 [12:39] libtool: and run autoconf again. [12:39] so.. what can wwe do? [12:39] WilliamC2: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [12:40] WilliamC2: use pastebin for multiple lines or you will scroll the channel and make it useless [12:40] oguncak, if you REALLY want to have it now, remove your existing version and the repo, remove .purple from your home folder and get the debs from getdeb.net.. I`d wait [12:40] sorry [12:40] whats so funny frank [12:40] Well, anyways, I cannot resolve the issue, even after doing what it said. [12:40] deany: 2.5.8? Is this about pidgin/libpurple?

[13:00] with all effects [13:01] vnc doesnt work well with compiz enabled, for me so i turn it off [13:01] paissad-hp: with vnc - you want as minimal as a desktop as you can get.. or you will watching SLOW SLOW SLOW scrreen redraws [13:01] yes.. i noticed that and had a hard work on that.. but no way... [13:01] I tend to use ultra-minimal desktop/window managers for my vnc sessions [13:01] Dr_Willis, ok, thanks for the advice, === Someone67 is now known as Someone67|Away [13:01] paissad-hp: are you running throgh gigabit ethernet?

[13:04] paissad-hp: im not too sure on how you would enable them, but as everyone else here I wouldnt recommend it anyhow [13:04] C-S-B : wait a moment I'll tell you [13:04] C-S-B, that's what i think too, thanks btw :-) [13:04] i use this path to load the subtitle type: /usr/share/fonts/truetype/freefont/FreeSans.ttf >>>> is that ok? that might be a problem of that??? === mtozses__ is now known as mcmlxxi [13:05] how to restore desktop folder http://ubuntu-pics.de/bild/14578/snapshot3_Ohqh0w.png [13:06] Using the Ubuntu 9.04 alternate install disc and I am trying to make an encrypted partition (dm-crypt) on a USB Flash drive so I can install Ubuntu onto it, however, partman-crypto fails with "Can not access device" when I attempt to configure it.

(even in the recovery mode they are not responding) [13:08] C-S-B: haha. yeah. I guess i dont fiddle around as much as i used to do! [13:08] peol, how I get around that is go non-fullscreen at same res as the desktop in question [13:08] How do I disable the mouse scroll so that it doesn't take me to the next desktop? [13:08] Dextorion: it good to know, i hate holding down the power 'windows' style to reboot a crashed machine.

[13:12] C-S-B: it worked, thanks [13:12] InNeedOfHelp: hotpluggin means, connect certain devices without turning off power.etc [13:12] greyfox`: have you tried b43 module? [13:13] Did anyone try the latest Nvidia drivers from nvidia? [13:13] what u mean latest [13:13] InNeedOfHelp: if you don't need it, disabling it may be the simplest thing to do [13:13] iam using them [13:13] in karmic [13:13] ok thanks I'll see if I can find anything on there that can help me.... but I'm not plugging in any devices, they are already connected when I boot.... [13:14] indus: I mean the one that isn't in the repository (newer than 180.x) [13:14] greyfox`: sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter [13:14] I don't know how to disable anything though, because I can't get into ubuntu without my devices :) [13:14] MOUD: yeah i have karmic so its latest [13:14] InNeedOfHelp: boot into single user mode [13:14] greyfox`: modprobe b43 [13:14] MOUD: which driver do u mean [13:14] Hello, anybody know how much space "tasksel install lamp-server" will use/need?

Typing and surfing the web. Ubuntu updated it self during this time. At the end of the day I shut of the computer. When I started it up today I got to the log in screen, logged in and found an empty desktop. Nothing on the desktop and no menues on the top or anywhere [13:48] else for that matter [13:49] aaron424, ir even glxinfo | grep "server glx" [13:49] trothigar: how do I do this? terminal?

[13:49] indus: and ubuntu tells me my HDD is about to fail everytime I log in [13:50] Dr_Willis: yeah. I just sudo(ed) and installed it back. [13:50] anyone know if KDE is easier on the CPU than gnome? [13:50] herenbdy: are u susing karmic ? [13:50] Bossk: im not sure what they are all called but there's nm-applet and maximus etc.... [13:50] indus: yes [13:50] jiohdi, kde 3.5 is a bit i think [13:50] Tried gnome-panel --display 0 in the terminal but nothing happened.

[13:51] jiohdi, no kde 4 was released a year and a half ago [13:51] Bossk: or you could try the desktop switcher, that might load them [13:51] jiohdi, i think gutsy was the last to ship with kde 3.5 by default [13:51] herenbdy: hmm well go to system>preferences>sessions adn turn off smart notifier [13:51] indus: for fun.. and it comes with newer versions of everything I use [13:51] Bossk: other than those two ideas, youre out of luck from me... [13:51] Bossk: sorry [13:51] C-S-B: How do I switch desktops? [13:52] herenbdy: this is channel for 9.04 or release versions only [13:52] It was worth a try :) [13:52] any hotkeys for switching desktops? [13:52] Bossk: ctrl-alt left/right arrow [13:52] hi, I do not know all options to run on make, and my question is if I have more than one core in my processor, in my case a quad core, compiling with make -j 4, would make an executable use four jobs(possibly four cores)? [13:52] Bossk: system ->preferences -> switch desktop mode [13:52] brb ppl. === MOUD is now known as MOUD_away [13:53] marcelo_: yes [13:53] Bossk: or desktop-switcher from terminal [13:53] trothigar, any idas?

[13:54] First thign i did on the UNR - was install teh normal gnome desktop. :) [13:54] press alt-f2 the enter desktop-switcher [13:54] Bossk: ^ [13:55] aight [13:55] Does setxkbmap only last until reboot? [13:55] Lartza_: if you just did it from the cli. yes... [13:55] C-S-B: Nothing happens when I press ALT-F2 either. :S [13:55] Suspend has stopped working on my laptop - it did work in the beginning with clean install, but now all I get is a blinking cursor at the top left corner. I'm using Ubuntu Netbook Remix, and haven't installed any extra drivers. Any idea on how to troubleshoot the issue? How can I get suspend back working again? [13:55] Maybe just reinstall Ubuntu? [13:55] Dr_Willis: Terminal, can I make it permanent without running it on boot? [13:55] trothigar, http://pastebin.com/m519dff6 [13:56] Oh yeah, the laptop is an Acer Aspire One. [13:56] Hi, Does anyone use OpenVz with Ubuntu Hardy? I would like to get the openvz kernel >=028stab060.2.... [13:56] Dr_Willis: I haven't yet found how to change my keyboard layout [13:56] Lartza_: proberly can have a setting somewhere that it uses.. No idea what it does.. or run it from rc.local or your X startup stuff.. Ive no clue what the command does. [13:56] !layout [13:56] To switch your keyboard layout on GNOME: System -> Preferences -> Keyboard (GNOME) - KDE: K -> System Settings -> Regional & Language -> Keyboard Layout (KDE) - Xfce: see https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/xubuntu/desktopguide/C/switch-keyboard-layout.html - See also !Shortcuts [13:56] Lartza_: gnome has its own settings to change thekeyboard layout i thought [13:56] I am on openbox :) [13:57] I'll check the xfce way [13:57] C-S-B: Ran desktop-switcher in the terminal now. "Failed" [13:57] :/ [13:57] Lartza_: then you check the openbox docs and figure out how it 'autostarts' things [13:57] Lartza_: then add it to xinitrc (if you use one) or openbox's autostart.sh [13:57] Bossk: ouch [13:57] Yes but how... *sigh* [13:57] aaron424, and "cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf" [13:57] It is somehow set to default somewhere I am sure [13:57] aaron424, without the quotes [13:57] Lartza_: http://icculus.org/openbox/index.php/Help:Contents [13:57] C-S-B: Seems it's still working on something..

I did'nt do anything.. Thought that was a reaction to the desktop-switch command.. :S [13:59] Lartza_: man xorg.conf [14:00] trothigar, http://pastebin.com/m3b0edf58 [14:00] Configured Monitor etc. [14:00] Bossk: oh well, hows it looking?

No fire or smoke.. yet ;) [14:01] If I have downloaded karmic alpha 3, can I just do a dist-upgrade to upgrade to alpha 4? [14:01] Lartza_: hal Most likely. [14:01] fiXXXerMet, #ubuntu+1 for karmic support/discussion [14:01] fiXXXerMet: thats how upgrades work. see #ubuntu+1 [14:01] fiXXXerMet: probaby will be ok and #ubuntu+1 for Karmic [14:01] hey all, just wondering if there is a program that could be used to turn my computer into a dvd player.. I mean to play video through my s-video port [14:01] thanks [14:02] Dr_Willis: As in detect what kind keyboard I have? [14:03] Lartza_: no idea how it does it. I only have usa keyboards.. HAL does most all the auto detection now for X i think. [14:03] fiXXXerMet: just upgrade will beenough [14:03] aaron424, type gconftool-2 --type bool --set /apps/metacity/general/compositing_manager false [14:03] aaron424, then try running compiz-manager again [14:03] hal ftw =] [14:04] xray7224: Hal is being deprecated [14:04] Dr_Willis: Well I have finnish keyboard so HAL shouldn't detect it as us :S I'll just write it to xorg.conf it is finnish [14:04] i know -_- [14:04] xray7224, hal is being dprecated [14:04] Dr_Willis: hal is being deprecated in karmic [14:04] I KNOW ! [14:04] Hello [14:04] hi [14:04] Silver_Fox_: Hello [14:04] Silver_Fox_, hi [14:05] Lartza_: no idea on any of that. its all voo-doo-magic [14:05] I have two problems, 1) the Faces-capable login screens don't display any faces or names, and 2 after loging in, my local.rc file seems too not be exacuted [14:05] executed* [14:05] gartral: you mean /etc/rc.local ? [14:05] Ah, I thought it was working. Just trying out a new client. Nobody was responding in the channels I am normally in. [14:05] Dr_Willis: I read HAL does most of the that so you are right but xorg.conf can still be used [14:05] Automagic :) [14:05] Thank you everyone. [14:05] Silver_Fox_: which client [14:06] OK guys, I'm back..... After playing around with the boot options in grub I figured out I can only boot in 2 ways: normal and recovery mode. Booting in single user mode (adding "single" at the end of the line) automatically takes me to the recovery screen. But as I said, the keyboard doesn't work on that screen either, now what? [14:06] trothigar, it works, but will it work every time I boot up, or will have to run the commands again? [14:06] Lartza_: depends on wether you use input hotplugging and hal or no hotplugging and xorg.conf [14:06] I am sitting at a windows work station (yes , i know) and trying out Xchat 2 [14:06] do we have a firefox xchat plugin?? [14:06] Silver_Fox_: im so sorry === shampoo is now known as shampoonator === william__ is now known as WilliamC1 === WilliamC1 is now known as WilliamC2 [14:06] indus: last i checked xchat for some odd reason was missconfigured where it couldent launch the browser from the url's Not sure if thats been fixed or not. [14:07] Dr_Willis: yes, sorry [14:07] indus: not sure what you mean by a 'xchat plugin' for firefox either. :) [14:07] i mean, connect to irc from witihin firefox [14:07] Suspend has stopped working on my laptop - it did work in the beginning with clean install, but now all I get is a blinking cursor at the top left corner. I'm using Acer Aspire One with Ubuntu Netbook Remix, and haven't installed any extra drivers. Because it did work at first, I assume it's restorable... Any idea on how to troubleshoot the issue? How can I get suspend back working again? [14:07] gartral: /etc/rc.local is ran as the last service.. when it runs.. in Most cases GDm is allready running. [14:07] Madrid_2009 [14:07] gartral: it is used to run 'system type' commands. not USER stuff.. and it does NOT run on a per useer basis when they log in. [14:07] Dr_Willis: im using xchat and i can click links... [14:07] C-S-B, don't be. I'm at work and had to login to use a certain application. I shall be booting back into Ubuntu within next 20 minutes :) [14:07] Dr_Willis: then how do i change it so it works? [14:07] trothigar, http://pastebin.com/m384d39cf [14:08] like an add on [14:08] Where can I find Gnome themes? [14:08] aaron424, it will work, but it might be best to reboot now, because if you close the terminal window bad things may happen. It probably won't work next boot, but then you just need to enable desktop effects under system->preferences-> appearance [14:08] gartral: what are you even trying to make it do - is the big question.

[14:08] damn [14:08] Silver_Fox_: work let you roll linux? good on you [14:08] indus- opera browser has an integrated IRC client which is very good [14:08] Dr_Willis: either way, i have too hav e it run a sudo dhclient eth0 on start up, otherwise i have too login and do it myself, but it doesnt work [14:09] WilliamC2: no, but you need to fsck [14:09] arquebus: yes i knew, but i wondering if firefox has any [14:09] C-S-B, that's what she said [14:09] gartral: just put the command in rc.local befor the exit() thing an theres no need to do 'sudo' in rc.local [14:09] !defrag | WilliamC2 [14:09] WilliamC2: The default Ubuntu filesystem (ext3) is engineered to avoid fragmentation issues in most cases, see http://linkpot.net/behead/ for a simple example on how it achieves this. [14:09] Lartza_: how to you start x / openbox? [14:09] C-S-B, i thought i saw a ext4 defragger in the works? [14:09] ext4 is awesome, super fast [14:09] gartral: if you need gdm to run after the command. then you might want to disable gdm service. but start gdm FROM rc.local also. [14:09] or maybe iam dreaming [14:09] hbekel: Huh? It all has set to start at boot and autologin [14:09] C-S-B, I am a database admin and web dev. I run anything I want. Nobody cares so long as I hit my deadlines and targets. [14:09] trothigar: i didnt think it needed it [14:09] Through gdm if I remeber correct [14:09] A virtual box issue here, whenever the virtual box captures the mouse, the mous becomes invisible until the running geust OS is shutdown.what do i do about this? [14:09] indus: yeah rather fast boot up time, but in 9.04 it's a little hmm, but default in Karmic with the later kernel :) [14:10] Silver_Fox_: couldnt agree more. [14:10] gartral: also if your command in rc.local does not 'return' until it exits. you might want to launch it with &. [14:10] indus; search for chat in firfox addons [14:10] indus: and people must clean install for full support, since the Ext3 to Ext4 conversion isn't good enough [14:10] ok gnubie [14:10] Silver_Fox_: i used linux in my last work but some places are MS whore houses [14:10] Dr_Willis: that's how i have it setup dhclient eth0 exit() [14:10] Right, got to shoot off.

[14:14] nmvictor, ok. works for me with newest version [14:14] InNeedOfHelp: here is a simple option, when system logs in, disconect keyboard and then reconnect again [14:15] sebsebseb: about freshing installing it instead of upgrading from ext3? [14:15] InNeedOfHelp: also. is this a usb keyboard?? [14:15] yes usb [14:15] C-S-B: yeah and maybe WilliamC2 should see htis to [14:15] C-S-B: u cannot upgrade from ext3 to ext4 [14:15] hello - which tool supports sorting a mountain of mp3files automatically by tagging everything automatically from the cddb? tnx... [14:15] C-S-B: you can butit s risky [14:15] indus: you can, but only the new files will benefit [14:15] hansj:installed the newest version yesterday.The problem was also their in the previous version [14:15] C-S-B: the Ext3 to Ext4 conversion isn't good enough, for full Ext4 you "must" clean install [14:15] indus: yes usb, what do you mean by when system logs in? at the startup screen? [14:16] sebsebseb: i know, and i did :) [14:16] InNeedOfHelp: yah when x starts or display starts [14:16] trothigar, thanks so much [14:16] sebsebseb: but upgrading is an option... [14:16] C-S-B: so whats the problem [14:16] C-S-B: ubuntu will not support upgrade to ext4 from ext3 for karmic [14:16] indus: i never said there was [14:17] C-S-B: ok then [14:17] o(╯□╰)o [14:17] indus: lol [14:17] C-S-B: :) [14:17] metbsd: Do you have a question?

[14:17] sebsebseb: what do u mean what [14:18] indus: i'm afraid the unplug/plug thing didn't have much effect :) or rather :( [14:18] InNeedOfHelp: ok tell me the make of the keyboard [14:18] indus: well Karmic isn't out yet, but surely when it is, people can upgrade from 9.04 and do the Ext3 to Ext4 conversion? of course as I already said better to clean install, so they get the real proper thing [14:18] sebsebseb: no they cant [14:18] Pici, do you have questions or answers? [14:18] indus: well Ext3 can be converted to Ext4 for 9.04 [14:18] sebsebseb: its only offered for people will already ext4 [14:18] ouch on the karmic issue [14:18] metbsd: Not at the moment. [14:19] indus, sebsebseb is right [14:19] sebsebseb: aah i know that but iam talking about the upgrade [14:19] indus: right now i'm just using a standard usb keyboard from sun that came with the machine..... but eventually i'd like to get my logitech wireless desktop working [14:19] indus, karmic will still let you choose the filesystem format though right? so you could still use ext3 in karmic? [14:19] Hello! I have a ATi X1600 Mobility as well as Ubuntu 9.04 running. I'm experiencing problems as to how I could install, and run the ATi Catalyst Control Center, so that I can configure my card better. Is there a working driver for this card, and OS? Thanks! [14:19] jedc: of course [14:19] Guys, do you mind moving the Karmic discussion to #ubuntu+1, this isn't really on-topic for #ubuntu. [14:19] jedc: of course Ext3 can be used in Karmic, but better off using Ext4 :) [14:19] JarlG, yes there is a working driver, several in fact [14:20] Pici: true, but these kind of discussions will be on topic, when it's released :) [14:20] sebsebseb, yea, well im using ext4 in jaunty so not a problem for me :p [14:20] JarlG, what problems? [14:20] better off use reiserfs [14:20] sebsebseb: But its *not* releasesd. [14:20] trothigar, artifacts. [14:20] what happened to reisersf anyway [14:20] sebsebseb: ok correction, [14:20] Pici: yep not yet, so off topic at the moment === Guest47642 is now known as bambam [14:20] JarlG, is this when running of the cd? [14:20] trothigar, is there a terminal-command I could run? [14:20] indus: in case you missed the beginning of my conversation with some of the others on here: both keyboards and both mouses work fine when starting the live cd, and all 4 also worked in previous versions of ubuntu. No idea why none of them are responsive on my new jaunty installation [14:20] sebsebseb C-S-B performance is only on newer filesystems [14:20] Pici: Well, it's released enough for me. My VM likes it quite nice C: [14:21] JarlG, is this when running off the cd? === bambam is now known as Guest58406 [14:21] trothigar, What do you mean? I do not have the drivers on a CD. [14:21] JarlG, have you installed ubuntu? [14:21] which fs is most stable and nicest,ext2, reiserfs, or [14:21] Syka: Its still offtopic for this channel.

[14:22] sebsebseb: yeh [14:22] indus: yes it does [14:22] Is "jaunty-security main restricted universe multiverse" really usable after the mirror adress for all security updates? [14:22] InNeedOfHelp: but doesnt work on isntall [14:22] WilliamC2: If you are using Gnome, you can just drag the theme's tar.gz file into the window found in System>Preferences>Appearance [14:22] InNeedOfHelp: did u try sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg adn mess with keyboard settings there, set auto detect keyboard to no [14:22] indus: exactly doesn't work on install, even in the installer it didn't work either, had to boot into the live cd and install from the desktop [14:22] trothigar, if I perform "sudo aptitude install xorg-driver-fglrx", and reboot, I cannot log in because of artifacts. [14:22] indus: I am not done quite yet, join #ubuntu+1 :) [14:22] JarlG, After you install you can then enable the restricted drivers for your ati card and voila no more artefacts. I had this prolem with a X1300 mobility [14:23] sebsebseb: aah no iam tired :) some other day [14:23] trothigar, is this after a reboot, or before? [14:23] JarlG, after you install ubuntu [14:23] indus, no i did not try the dpkg reconfigure thing as i can't even get to a prompt with my keyboard working [14:24] InNeedOfHelp: hmm true i understand [14:24] trothigar, if I enter "Hardware Drivers", there are no entries for ATi. What do you mean? [14:24] InNeedOfHelp: ok at which stage does keyboard stop working, works when ubuntu is bootin? [14:24] trothigar, Ubuntu IS installed. I am running ubuntu.

(dot) in those filenames [15:07] bazhang: the host OS im running on my computer is ubuntu 8.10 and the Guest OS that im running in virtualbox is ubuntu9.04.im still working around the guest addition, i just wanna know if that will solve the proob i described.

[15:55] gnhk666: Your wireless is wired? I don't understand you.. [15:55] coldReactive42: you're reinventing the wheel, you can use udev to get consistent device naming [15:55] Anyone knows how to install gnome without network manager ? [15:55] m, don't ask to ask. Just ask [15:55] lol [15:55] coldReactive42: but very creative ;) [15:55] minimec: wireless doesn't work, so am wired in to try and somehow make it work... [15:55] and how do I get udev to get me my device names? [15:55] darwish is it polite to do so ?:) [15:56] darwish, some people consider it impolite _not_ to do so :) [15:56] gnhk666: but that wireless thing... Is that an usb stick or what? [15:56] anyway i've installed Ubuntu On VirtualBox. [15:56] coldReactive42: you have to create a rule that creates a symlink, e.g. /dev/scanner, based on the devices serial [15:56] and i've WIN xp [15:56] And how do I do that? -_- [15:56] i wanna access Ubuntu folders from my xp [15:56] just wanna copy a file which is placed in Ubuntu to Xp [15:56] coldReactive42: by writing a udev rule [15:57] there is no dev/scanner [15:57] minimec: wireless thing should be my laptop yes? [15:57] hello, how can i uninstall "ati-driver-installer-9-3-x86.x86_64.run" ? [15:58] m, I didn't work with virtualbox before. You're sure it doesn't have such facility built-in? [15:58] i.e and image file brwoser from XP? [15:58] coldReactive42: yes, /dev/scanner will be created by udev if you tell it to to so [15:58] part bye [15:58] darwish yes it is its called VirtualBox Addition but am not sure how to use it yet. [15:58] coldReactive42: that was just an example [15:58] And how do I do that? I'm no linux master [15:58] gnhk666: that wireless adapter. Is it a built in mini-pci card in your laptop, or is it some usb device? [15:58] quit [15:58] I don't know how to use udev at all [15:59] minimec: ahh, this i kinda know, built in card, broadcom 4312 or something... [15:59] darwish, lets forget about the Virtual Box, and assume that am In Ubuntu how can i copy a file from terminal to xp system?

[16:00] m, you open the XP filesystem from Ubuntu and copy the files there, or the opposite if both OSes are on the same PC [16:00] m don't ask others to do it for you [16:00] * coldReactive42 sighs [16:00] m, or you use Samba (Windows Share) if the PCs are on the same network [16:00] llutz do not ask others to do so?:) have i asked to? i did not ask for ur help. [16:00] hi. is it possible to install vmware player directly with apt-get [16:00] without registering and downloading from the vmware site manually? [16:00] llutz am asking to help me not to do it!! [16:00] gnhk666: Ok. Are you sure that the card is active? Some laptops have a Wireless button. The led of the card on the laptop should be blincking, if the card is recognizes. [16:00] there is a big differences among two wordS:) [16:01] kai: it should be [16:01] kai: if not you can just do that manually [16:01] minimec: switch is on, only the bluetooth light is on... [16:01] darwish both of systems are on same pc. [16:01] MikeSeth: Yeah but i can' [16:01] t [16:01] I guess I won't get an answer. [16:01] ...find vmware player with apt-cahce search [16:02] m, the best way then is to create a FAT32 partition. This way, you can read and write to this partition from either XP, or Ubuntu [16:02] coldReactive42: you'll have to do that yourself, there's lots of tutorials [16:02] gnhk666: ok. do an 'lspci' in a console and paste.ubuntu.com me the results. [16:02] g3org3s: try asking on #nm [16:02] MikeSeth: I really wanna prevent doing stuff manually. It's a fresh system, you know. [16:02] Such as?

[16:03] it's not a stable backend [16:03] jedc: no. can it compete with vmware? [16:03] kai, ive never used vmware, but it is a good virtual machine [16:03] jedc: i already got a vmware image i just wanna copy it to the new system now. [16:03] m, I'm not sure NTFS writing in Ubuntu has become stable yet or not [16:03] coldReactive42: that doesn't matter, your problem is inconsistent device naming, which can be solved with udev [16:03] m, thank Microsoft for not releasing their FS specifications [16:03] !ntfs-3g | m [16:03] darwish, has been for a while now [16:03] m: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions [16:03] What is a dependency? [16:04] jedc: well vmware is very good, absolutely nothing to complain about (everything works out-of-the-box) [16:04] Akalbulusikus, it is another package that a package requires to run [16:04] gnhk666: paste.ubuntu.com then give me the link here so I can read it ... [16:04] thanks a lot ubottu && darwish :) [16:04] Akalbulusikus, your children depend on you to feed them correct? packages depend on other packages to work propely [16:04] there's this: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-11718.html [16:04] But it doesn't help, I have USB, not scsi [16:04] darwish by the way ur nickname indicates to Arabian/Turkish name.

[16:07] well i think vmware player is not included in the standard ubuntu repository [16:07] thiebaude: its not that one, i was given like 4 options in FF when I wanted to install the java plugin, I picked the last one, it was something like "GJC (...something OpenJDK)" [16:07] i think thats what you mean... [16:07] cornjuliox, search in synaptic for it [16:08] And as much as I'd like to go back to windows to have it all work seamlessly, I can't. It won't activate anymore. [16:08] cornjuliox, if you search for openjdk it should list all installed packages with that word in it [16:08] cornjuliox, what i gave you was the plugin from Sun [16:08] kai, thats because vmware is proprietary software [16:09] alright, I think I got it [16:09] thanks guy [16:09] guys* [16:09] coldReactive42, if you have a valid activation key you can call them and have them reset it for you. offtopic for here more help on that in ##windows [16:09] It is valid, but I believe it's been activated over 15 times (the limit for over the internet) [16:09] coldReactive42, not saying to go back to windows....

There is also a possibility to use ndiswrapper.

[16:23] Brian____, i dont understand what you mean [16:23] source is what you want to symlink, target is where you want it to be linked [16:24] How to still can connect to a hidden network, when the router ssid is stop broadcasting? [16:24] have you ever hear of unetbootin [16:24] And I don't know EITHER [16:24] what are you looking to symlink? [16:24] a usb scanner from root to my user [16:24] !usb | Brian____ [16:24] Brian____: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [16:25] :/ [16:25] gnhk666: Having a look at that readme file tells me, that you have some console work to do. You have to understand the logic of the readme file. If they write '1. Create a new directory: mkdir hybrid_wl [16:25] Brian____, everything you require is in that factoid [16:25] never symlinked hardware before [16:25] :/ [16:25] what is a persistend live usb install [16:25] My wireless keeps disconnecting every few minutes. Is there a way to auto-reconnect? [16:25] too bad, that's what I need to do [16:25] coldReactive42: what is the goal? [16:25] coldReactive42: udevadm info -a -p `udevadm info -q path -n /dev/sda` [16:25] i'm guessing /dev/something [16:25] Brian____, read the wiki page to find out :) [16:25] sda is an hdd [16:25] coldReactive42: you want your user to be able to use the USB scanner? [16:25] coldReactive42: replace /dev/sda with your scanners device [16:25] gnhk666: ... the 2nd part of the mine mkdir hybrid_wl is the console command. [16:26] coldReactive42: let's not talk about solutions but about the problem first [16:26] I don't KNOW THE PATH [16:26] the problem i have is when i boot my computer my computer boots as if a live cd was incerted as in it launches the installer and all that, === dragonrigs is now known as svfadgadga [16:26] coldReactive42: dmesg? [16:26] coldReactive42: well, no need to shout.. === svfadgadga is now known as Linux [16:26] coldReactive42: you said you have used your scanner [16:26] As root [16:26] coldReactive42: use what you've used before [16:26] hi, chosen the resolution 1280x768 for my 720p TV, but it reverts to 1080i even tho the TV suports 720p. does anyone have any suggestions to fix this? [16:26] by mistake my harddrive got mounted as cdrom [16:26] I don't like using my scanner as root [16:27] coldReactive42: forget it [16:27] coldReactive42: the cleanest way will be to update the udev rule to give the device the right permissions automatically [16:27] everytime I start my laptop it asks for a password for a keyring, how do I make it just do it without a password? [16:27] on the `get ubuntu' download page, what 64bit version is being referred to? x86-64/IA64 x64 or what? [16:27] hi, ive chosen the resolution 1280x768 for my 720p TV, but it reverts to 1080i display even though the TV supports 720p. does anyone know how to fix this? [16:27] And how the heck do I do that? [16:27] tapas: that's what i've been telling him [16:27] coldReactive42: the concrete device file can change from time to time [16:28] coldReactive42: a symlink will not change the permissions of the original file [16:28] Brian____: No. You said that you installed unetbootin onto your main harddrive. I don't know of any way to convert this back to a real Ubuntu installation, you'd probably need to reinstall. [16:28] coldReactive42: well, plug out the scanner and plug it back in [16:28] then what do I do? [16:28] coldReactive42: then look into the output of dmesg [16:28] gnhk666: Wait!! Check System-Administration-Hardware Drivers, to see if you can enable it. Ubuntu may have it onboard! http://nxadm.wordpress.com/2008/05/21/broadcom-wifi-bcm4312-speedup-on-ubuntu-804-on-a-hp-nc6320-laptop/ [16:28] ciaoo [16:28] coldReactive42: it will say something about the device.. [16:28] tapas: you can specify it all in the udev rule, group, permissions, etc coldReactive42 [16:28] !list [16:28] This is not a file sharing channel (or network). If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » [16:28] hbekel: yeah [16:28] coldReactive42: and if you want help, highlight [16:29] anyone? [16:29] on the `get ubuntu' download page, what 64bit version is being referred to? x86-64/IA64 x64 or what? [16:29] hmmm... anyone is using xorg-server with USE=minimal? [16:29] is there an ubuntu64 bit chan [16:29] Hello .. when im installing network manager , my ubuntu wont connect to internet anymore, tho my ip is static , what could be the problem ? [16:29] it's an all-in-one scanner/printer ,it has more than one USB bus [16:29] coldReactive42: with highlight he means: mention the nick you are talking to, so our cool irc clients do highlight your message, so we know you are talking to us :) [16:29] coldReactive42: well, choose the one port you usually use to connect it to the PC [16:29] Has anyone else had problems with periodically disconnecting wireless? [16:30] I meant, it is considered to be two devices to dmesg [16:30] coldReactive42: ok, one will probably say something about being a scanner [16:30] what program for linux can i use in place for daemon tools [16:30] coldReactive42: best will be you post the output of dmesg onto some pastesite [16:30] I can't give the whole dmesg [16:31] it was cut off [16:31] coldReactive42: use e.g. the command "dmesg | xclip" [16:31] at the top [16:31] Pici: when i try to reinstall linux and it gets to the partitioner part it doesnt want to install to my hard drive because it thinks my hard drive is my cdrom drive [16:31] to get it into the clipboard [16:31] does that make sence [16:31] Brian____: Use the manual partitioning option then [16:31] coldReactive42: if xclip isn't installed, apt-get install xclip [16:31] coldReactive42: then go to: http://pastesite.com/ [16:31] and middle click into the window labeled "your paste" [16:31] i would have to unmount my hard drive first [16:31] then send us the result link [16:31] lik [16:32] * hbekel hands tapas a spoon [16:32] hbekel: :) [16:32] hbekel: thanks [16:32] it's needed here [16:32] Dammit [16:32] How do I get xclip clipboard info [16:32] It didn't paste [16:32] coldReactive42: and cool down ffs, the world isn't ending with your scanner not working ;) [16:32] where can i find help regarding offline updates with using apt-cacher-ng? [16:33] hi, i've got a problem here... I've chosen a 1280x720 resolution for my 720p TV, but it reverts to a 1080i configuration. does any1 know how to fix this? [16:33] what program for linux can i use in place for daemon tools [16:33] heya, anyone have a swap file size recomendation for a 1.5gb ram netbook (aspire one)? just upgraded from 512mb today [16:34] loki 2X your ram [16:34] what is the chat availability prediction plugin in Pidgin called? [16:34] loki i have used the same size as the ram and had no rpoblem [16:34] s [16:34] well thats what id do on a normal comp, but as its ssd (8gb) not sure if thats an overkill [16:34] -_- [16:34] ian@ian-desktop:~$ dmesg | xclip [16:34] ian@ian-desktop:~$ dmesg | xclip [16:34] ian@ian-desktop:~$ xclip --help [16:34] xclip: --help: No such file or directory [16:34] coldReactive42: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [16:34] Loki, probably is a little overkill [16:34] loki__: At least as much swap as ram if you are planning on suspending the laptop to disk (hibernation) [16:35] loki__: I once decided not to give more then 512mb swap. I am quiet happy with that decision. [16:35] how do I make a ubuntu pkg from source? let me know if i should ask it to offtopic rather [16:35] * icarus-c has no swap at all [16:35] !packaging [16:35] The packaging guide is at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/NewPackages for information on getting a package integrated into Ubuntu - Other developer resources are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment - See also !backports [16:35] anyone know how I can stop the wifi on my laptop from asking for a password for keyring on startup? [16:35] if im not hibernating then 1gb would probably be enough then === Linux is now known as aaron11 [16:36] yeah, dont put a password in the first time it asks [16:36] loki__: You shouldn't need to increase swap at all if you don't plan on hibernating. [16:36] IdleOne: thanks a lot [16:36] loki, its too late for that, now how do I stop it [16:36] its 336 atmo, standard install os size [16:36] jiohdi: i did that by removing ~/.gnome2/keyrings/ :P [16:36] Hello .. when i install network manager,ubuntu wont connect to internet anymore, my ip is static , what could be the problem ? [16:36] not sure, must haveto remove the password somewhere [16:37] ill put it at 1.5gb for the mo and see if hibernate works, ty for the help :) [16:38] Is there a mount-vmfs utility available in Linux ?

[16:50] Pici, apt-cache info package I meant [16:50] IdleOne: ah, right. thats not a command ;) [16:50] Can i use x11vnc if X is not installed on my ubuntu ?

[16:52] pici thanks [16:53] rednano12_, what I meant is that it seemed logical to me to use info as a command to show me info about a package. [16:53] Makes sense/ [16:53] hello, i would like to install ubuntu 64bit because i have intel core 2 duo CPU, but when i want to download ubuntu 64bit it says it is for amd64 bit [16:53] It works though. [16:53] gand mara [16:53] what's the appropriate umask for ssh keys? [16:53] can i still install amd64 bit on my intel laptop ? [16:54] i found a problem. While booting Ubuntu doesn't support my full screen resolution of 1920x1080, so the screen is smaller until the login window comes up [16:54] SaEeDIRHA: amd64 works on 64-bit intel. [16:54] I just installed postfix, and would like all mail to foo@myhost.com to be directed to myuser@myhost.com... how would I go about doing that? [16:54] minimec: ok, out of my depth... [16:54] Well, it should. [16:54] without any problem ? i mean is it recommended ? [16:54] If you have a 64-bit processor, then you will get some optimizations. [16:55] SaEeDIRHA: Its only called AMD64 because AMD created the specification. [16:55] Definately do it if you have 4 GB of ram or more. [16:55] minimec: did first step in terminal no prob, even did second step... [16:55] ok, what program can i use to mount bin or cue files ? [16:55] minimec: from there it goes to shit [16:55] SaEeDIRHA AMD invented the 64bit extensions Intel adapted and licensed too. so it's called AMD64 because of AMD extensions i think. It does work without any problem on any 64bit cappable Intel too :) [16:55] i see, [16:55] gnhk666: Please mind your language here. [16:55] gnhk666: did you read my last message to you?

[16:56] rabidweezle: Any luck with quakelive fullscreen, or you didn't try yet? :P [16:56] hello all [16:56] bidossessi i'm not that skilled with the internals of linux hehe :) [16:56] minimec: system-admin-hardware drivers brings up nothing....

[16:57] ok, what program can i use to mount bin or cue files ? [16:57] shadowwulf: mount ? [16:57] !ndiswrapper > gnhk666 [16:57] gnhk666, please see my private message [16:57] rabidweezle: Ah, all right.

[17:32] !debian | owner [17:32] owner: Ubuntu and Debian are closely related. Ubuntu builds on the foundations of Debian architecture and infrastructure, with a different community and release process. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/relationship - Remember, !repositories meant for Debian should NOT be used on Ubuntu! [17:32] grawity: sorry, i meant port #22 not 23 :) [17:32] MaskedDriver: no, I don't have another package manager opened. [17:32] grawity: the port which you usually log in in ssh, right? [17:32] grawity: dpkg ain't aptitude though, i think i'm off to backup while booted-up in case things don't turn out well [17:32] perini_, are you putting sudo first? [17:33] miksu: Yes, 22 is the default port for ssh, but why do you want to block it? [17:33] owner: But all of them - apt, aptitude, synaptic - just call dpkg for each package. [17:33] yes sudo apt-get -u dist-upgrade [17:33] miksu: 22 is for SSH. 25 is for SMTP (mail sending). [17:33] zvacet: when I click the test button I hear nothing....but as I said earlier I did hear the drums at my login prompt [17:33] Hey so who wants to help me figure out why I have no sound? [17:34] grawity: just for security reasons i'll change the default ports and open the ssh custom port [17:34] miksu, ssh is secure [17:34] bucky: thanks, but what? how is my question unrelated, or otherwise distracting to you? besides the fact that i have mentioned lenny/squeeze. should have i said just aptitude full-upgrade you wouldn't be taking up time, would you now? [17:34] miksu: That will only protect against the dumbest crackers. [17:34] grawity: yeah but bots might try to login thru it [17:34] miksu, there is no need to change the port. make sure you have a good password and you won't have any problems [17:34] miksu: If you're afraid of "bots", just use good passwords. [17:34] miksu: no need to block any port where no service listens [17:34] miksu: Read about SSH public keys. [17:34] grawity: good point, i'll do some research on that option, seems promising... [17:35] miksu, if a hacker REALLY wants in your system, they're going to get in no matter what you do [17:35] hello... [17:35] Hi! Adobe flash capture keyboard input while only hover the element!

[17:36] miksu, MaskedDriver: "Hackers", as you call them, can run nmap against your system in a minute, and instantly see what ports are used. [17:36] yo [17:36] hey... i made a system the company i work for, to update and syncronize the internal repositories with the packages that are produced here. The system is composed basicaly by some perl scripts. Do someone have suggestions on how to document it, based on similar projects? What ive done until now is a tutorial for the users. [17:36] grawity, exactly.. that's why I said if they REALLY want in, they're going to get in... blocking 22 and changing SSH port isn't going to do anything [17:36] urthmover: have a look in control panel and sound devices?

It only has a 4 gig sd hard drive and its now getting a bit full ...the question is ..can i resise the partition to include a additional 4 gig sd card?? in order to give me more room [17:54] My wireless is able to detect my wireless network, but isn't able to connect. [17:54] Any help please? [17:54] eltese: the problem is that awn requires the screen to be composited by programs like compiz or beryl [17:54] ranjan: ok [17:55] yesudeep: if the settings are in different files I'd think you should be able to manipulate them manually (read cli access of the .conf files).. but I'm just guessing. [17:55] scunizi: I already have the configuration set. It's just that GNOME overrides the settings for apt [17:55] eltese: if you don't use compiz you can also set metacity to do some basic compositing (also in gconf-editor) [17:55] eltese: and what happens here is that compiz quits before awn and awn doesnt sees the screen composited thereby the error message ...is it clear :-) [17:55] swapy are you there? [17:55] Perhaps I should look more into the documentation [17:56] i`m really sad with nvidia drivers in my ubuntu [17:56] any x system / video card specialist?

Different versions. intrepid ibex, hardey heron, kubuntu 7.10... none of them will load the live cd. they would freeze midway through the setup or just sit with a blinking white cursor [18:30] FireVai, never have installed Ubuntu within Windows.

You might be surprised. [18:38] dietricha: wait until the overlords decide it is ok [18:38] Hi, does anyone here have experience printing to a network cups print server using kerberos auth? [18:38] FireVai, something similar happened to my uncle (Windows Vista) where he couldn't boot into Windows, or even do a system recovery. After running "smartctl -t short /dev/sda" and then checking the results with "smartctl -l selftest /dev/sda" from a LiveCD, it found that his hard disk had unrecoverable errors. [18:39] bruenig: nm, turns out there's already a package for it for jaunty [18:39] hi [18:39] why not default, is the question [18:39] dietricha, I don't believe Firefox 3.5.x is on the official repositories yet.

[18:40] dietricha, I am using Firefox 3.5.2 on my openSUSE 11.1 system, which I got via the Mozilla repo, but I still prefer 3.0.x, since 3.5.2 still has some quirks to resolve.

[18:44] Your menu.lst looks fine. But you said GRUB won't even boot from the MBR. [18:44] yes [18:44] Either it's a corrupt MBR, or corrupt hard drive. [18:44] jack_spratt: I've never got vista / xp to read ubuntu partitions correctly.... p [18:44] when i try that recovery page.. it says cant mound hd0 [18:44] The link above, about restoring GRUB, would fix your MBR issue. [18:44] Yeah, I saw. [18:45] edsmaffs: ever got win to read another distros partitions? [18:45] Are you still in the LiveCD? [18:45] yes [18:45] i've only ever dual-booted vista / xp and ubuntu [18:45] and no [18:45] FireVai, How many physical hard drives are installed? [18:45] 3 [18:45] i have a partition with shared data on (NTFS) which they both access [18:45] <|sanchez|> hello everyone [18:45] Which one holds Windows / Ubuntu? [18:45] edsmaffs: OK, well for future reference ext2fs works on every other distros partitions that I've tried, but I havent tried any others for about a year. [18:45] the first one hda [18:45] or sda [18:45] ok, thanks [18:46] FireVai, try this, it will only take 2 - 3 minutes. [18:46] anyone reading jaunty hdds in window [18:46] *s? [18:46] <|sanchez|> just do a fat partition to share between the os's [18:46] FireVai: smartctl -t short /dev/sda [18:46] as root? [18:47] My letters in terminal are on top of eachother, is ther a way to fix that? [18:47] FireVai: Then after 2 - 3 minutes pass, check the results with: smartctl -l selftest /dev/sda [18:47] |sanchez|: thanks, but that wont work. I need win to read the jaunty ext3 drives properly [18:47] <|sanchez|> i dont understand why [18:47] anyone know how i can deny ubuntu from initialising my md0 ? [18:47] FireVai, yes, as root. In a LiveCD, I think you're root by default. [18:47] how to record a kernel panic? only the last 20 lines fit into my console. [18:47] says smartctl command not found [18:47] <|sanchez|> if you setup your ubuntu partitions (separating your home from your /) it shouldnt be an issue [18:47] ATI prop driver won't do dual monitors.

[18:48] yes tried as root also [18:48] what's a good VNC client? vncviewer won't pass on mouse or keyboard, and directvnc hasn't worked for me. [18:48] the 9.04 live cd [18:48] I'm pretty sure it has the smartctl package... [18:48] i did sudo smartctl -t short /dev/sda [18:48] does anyone know what my graphics card is [18:48] My letters in terminal are on top of eachother, is ther a way to fix that? [18:48] HACKER10011: lspci does [18:48] |sanchez|: because FAT is total crap and besides it will require me copying all my data which would be woefully inefficient. Also I don't feel like donating a large chunk of my hdd space as a temporary fat buffer as a workaround. ext3 should be readable using win software, and it is for other distros, so I'm trying to get the same thing working with jaunty [18:48] <|sanchez|> HACKER10011: i dont [18:48] FireVai, does the LiveCD has internet access? [18:49] yes [18:49] jack_spratt: windows xp has an ext2/3 driver. vista and 7 do not. [18:49] FireVai, then try: apt-get install smartmontools [18:49] Jorophose: I use vinagre since it's bundled with ubuntu [18:49] jack_spratt: it is available via the google [18:49] <|sanchez|> jack_spratt: fair enough, i dont know enough about your configuration but i see where you are coming from [18:49] hej [18:49] FireVai, after it downloads/install the package, try the smartctl thing again. [18:50] maco: an unofficial driver you mean - ext2ifs? or some other driver? [18:50] jack_spratt: yes, an unofficial one [18:50] <|sanchez|> jack_spratt: sounds like virtualization would be easiest way to achieve what you want, just run one as a host OS (ubuntu) and virtualize windows and then you can easily share your ubuntu with your windows via the vm hypervisor :) [18:50] <|sanchez|> although this would require major reconfiguration of yoru setup [18:50] nh2: is it tightly integrated with gnome? I'm working with Ubuntu+LXDE on an old system [18:50] HACKER10011: why 19? [18:51] maco, |sanchez|: OK thanks. I'll wait for a working unofficial vista driver I guess. [18:51] <|sanchez|> sorry mate :( [18:51] torn: i didnt see any kind of errors [18:52] FireVai, you mean with "smartctl -l selftest /dev/sda" ? [18:52] Jorophose: not sure. just apt-get install or synaptic it and see if the requirements fit your needs [18:52] nh2: seems to not need gnome, o [18:52] hey guys [18:52] or I've already got it installed, so thanks. [18:52] anyone here who owns a eee pc 701 (4G)? [18:52] Jorophose: if you want it really plain, xtightvncviewer ist very nice [18:52] d [18:52] Graphics lag really really bad when I try to open display preferences using fglrx driver.

[18:53] situation: X freezes with default video driver in jaunty jackalope, and when using restricted recommended driver via envy-ng, driver 180.44-0ubuntu1 i get time to time terrible randomization errors, my screens get terrible but the keyboard stays ok, then i switch to a console and back to X and the screen returns to normality. Any ideas? [18:53] This is very weird. [18:54] So I damaged my linux box yesterday by running a chmod -R /* command... and I'm looking to reformat, and I was wondering about whether I should go with the Ubuntu Server Edition or the Desktop Addition [18:54] yeah wouldnt have this prob... if i could get ubuntu to install on the second par of hda [18:54] FireVai, so you can't even boot into Windows either? [18:54] *edition [18:54] alexnet: Do you want/need a graphical environment? [18:54] tried six times.. i kept getting no grub boot screen [18:54] torn: nope cant boot either [18:54] Pici, the target for the install does not even have a monitor [18:54] ok so vinagre is not able to move the mouse either... [18:54] What are the other hard drives for? [18:54] anyone here who owns an eee pc 701 and has working wifi under ubuntu intrepid (8.10)? [18:54] torn: they are storage drives [18:55] <|sanchez|> ive got a 1008ha eee [18:55] is this a problem with the OS I'm connecting to? I did a debian netinstall and installed Xorg and LXDE over it, did I miss a package? [18:55] FireVai, did you have them plugged in when you installed Windows? [18:55] alexnet: If you don't plan on running anything that needs a graphical interface then the server install will work fine. [18:55] <|sanchez|> ubuntu and linux mint running :) [18:55] yes [18:56] FireVai, that is what I hate about Windows. It doesn't tell you what it's doing, and it's so barbaric when it comes to MBRs and boot files. With me, Windows will install its boot files on a seperate hard drive then the one it installs the system files to. [18:56] when i tried before to install on the second par of hda... it didnt ask me to import anything from my windows install, and didnt say anything about grub booting either os [18:56] FireVai, so I'm not really sure what's the setup on your system, to be honest. [18:56] Pici, do you know whether i should go with the 64 bit or the 32 bit version? [18:56] alexnet: How much ram do you have? [18:57] FireVai, I have to leave soon, and I'm sorry we didn't figure it out. Maybe someone else might better help you. [18:57] Pici, 2 gig [18:57] hi, how do I put a running program on the background, without stopping it with Ctrl z?

[18:58] FireVai, in my case, I have 2 seperate, physical drives. I installed Windows on one drive, and Linux on the other. When I installed either one, I unplugged the other hard drive. No dual-boot issues, or anything. I simply hold down my ESC key and tell the motherboard which physical drive I want to boot into. In other words: each MBR on each drive is untouched. [18:58] can anyone recommend some lightweight web browsers? [18:58] marcelo_: ctrl-z then type fg [18:58] <|sanchez|> Pici: he doesnt want to put it to sleep he wants it to run [18:59] i need a program :) [18:59] any use mts files?

[18:59] Sky[x], conky [18:59] marcelo_: But typeing fg afterwards lets it continue running. [18:59] i just want to see temperature [18:59] mts files anyone?

[19:04] and durring install ubuntu didnt ask me to inport windows stuff, or even show there was two os's on the hd [19:04] Pici: it is the new hd format for video cameras.. its avhcd i think from sony.. you can actually take the raw hd stream, burn it on a data disk and watch it in you blu-ray player.. but i want to edit it and burn on dvd [19:05] natewiebe13: give me the sie of kubuntu [19:05] if anyone could help me with it, i would be most gratefull [19:05] kubuntu.com?

That means the partition is bootable i.e. someone thinks the operating system is on that partition. Are you telling me that's wrong? [19:12] mr_lou: do you have 'ubuntu-restricted-extras' installed? That will install the non-free flashplugin player, which works very well for me [19:12] losher: if it helps i installed windows.. then installed ubuntu inside windows [19:12] so windows and ubuntu are on the same partition [19:12] natewiebe13: so you know it is a ftp server? definatly ?

And it means I can't help you, since I've never used it myself. I think you should do a fixmbr on the windows disk so you can boot windows, and then consider installing ubuntu inside an emulator e.g. virtualbox. Google 'windows fixmbr' for how to proceed...

[19:26] joep, What kind of problem? did you try http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/UserManual.html#intro-64bitguests [19:26] how do i turn off mouse gestures? at least, i think this is what it is, if i click while pushing the touchpoint stranges things like closing windows happens, though maybe its just a pidgin thing. [19:26] alexnet, ummm I'm not sure [19:26] alexnet, i would assume because there are vallues you need to enter [19:26] IdleOne, okay, i'll just keep it simple and rig up a screen for the install, thanks [19:26] !raid0 [19:26] Sorry, I don't know anything about raid0 [19:26] Anyone?

[19:28] minimec: what do you mean?? [19:28] Nono [19:28] yeah... you need a epmty directory [19:28] and put the path there [19:28] ;P [19:28] is there a dedicated channel for ubuntu security issues?

[19:39] <_Space_Case_> Question? if i sudo touch /forcefsck then reboot is there a file somewhere that tells me what fsck did? [19:39] Xerran, uninstall them [19:39] Eleth, I'm not trying to force anything on you, number one. Number two, I could say your views are just as "narrow" as you perceive them to be. [19:40] bastidrazor: thx [19:40] Processing triggers for man-db ... [19:40] fopen: Permission denied [19:40] :( [19:40] not a permissions issue I don't think [19:40] joep: Try to start it from a console once. That is strange... Maybe you get an error message. Did you search the net for that strange behaviour? [19:40] Xerran, it is a good idea to leave at least two available. [19:41] How can i know if sound drivers are installed on my ubuntu ? [19:41] bastidrazor: I always leave the latest two [19:41] bastidrazor: recovery and generic right? [19:41] n1lqj, sudo? [19:41] got it. u+w was recursively off and ownership was root:root not man:root :D [19:41] minimec: you mean a terminal in gnome or from F1? [19:42] fixed! [19:42] Xerran, i leave two kernels.. like -15 and -14. but it is your choice. i do that in case things go wrong and a known working kernel is needed. i [19:42] Just thought I would inform you all, linux has a new game today! quakelive has been ported to linux //end announcement [19:42] ok [19:43] <_Space_Case_> Question? if i sudo touch /forcefsck then reboot is there a file somewhere that tells me what fsck did? [19:43] _Space_Case_, you can check in /var/log [19:44] joep: You have to do it inside gnome. Well you risk another freeze, but maybe you get some error codes. Also check if there is some kind of log file in /home//.VirtualBox I don't know if VirtualBox does create some error logs. [19:44] Hey guys.. i got a _huge_ problem: my /home is not recognized as a luks-partition any longer. [19:45] or better: my /dev/sdb2 which is supposed to be /dev/mapper/home and then supposed to be /home is not a luks-partition any longer. [19:45] How can i know if sound drivers are installed properly on my ubuntu (server) ? [19:45] <_Space_Case_> ty [19:45] _Space_Case_, /var/log/fsck [19:45] <_Space_Case_> ty [19:46] The data is not the problem.. because i already lost it with the same error (i had it twice), so i changed the harddisk.. but now the error returned.. i have no clue what it could be. [19:46] And I'm quite desperate. [19:46] test [19:47] minimec: no log but a Directory .Virtualbox with no logfile. I go and look in /var/,og. One moment... [19:47] How do I check whether I have drivers installed for my graphics card? [19:48] server irc2.omnitel.net [19:49] \admin [19:49] minimec: I dont see any logfile related to Virtualbox but I haven't looked inside the files. I can try a grep in the directory. [19:50] joep: I don't see a reason for VirtualBox to freeze at start... sorry. [19:52] Anyone knows if using winamp plugins over XMMS is possible ? [19:52] Would running ubuntu using full disk encryption cause the ram to run hotter than usual? [19:52] RAM, no, CPU yes. [19:52] Well, I see a few error messages in auth.log and kern.log. The latter has warnings about Virtualbox uses 32-bit capabilities!! but I assume that synaptic loads only 64-bit app's!! [19:53] That is awfully strange. My CPU temp is fine, but when I switched over from Gentoo to ubuntu 8.10 the ram has been running fairly hot === [daemon]_ is now known as [daemon] [19:54] heya all.. how to install the pidgin plugin for twitter ? [19:54] bumber: oh, I thought you meant "usage wise". [19:54] In wine , when i click Control Panel under ALSA DRIVER , i get control panel not implemented yet .. How do i fix that ? [19:54] whats the easiest way to install Flash on Ubuntu 9.04 x64? [19:55] seems like Flash for x64 Linux isnt all that available? [19:55] http://tweakers.net/nieuws/61940/canon-kondigt-g11-compactcamera-met-uitklapbare-lcd-aan.html [19:55] Untouchab1e: download the beta from adobe labs [19:55] bumber: I doubt it has antyhing to do with hdd encryption though [19:55] MINDER emopixels ftw! [19:55] oops wrong channel, sorry [19:55] hello I need to modprobe smsc911x but that module is not found - where can I find it? [19:55] Untouchab1e: http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html [19:55] I've googled a few problems about laptops running hot on ubuntu [19:55] some people also attributed it to the ram [19:55] at least EXT4 is stable? [19:55] zyxxy: thanks, il check it out [19:55] Can anyone explain to me what an {a} or {u} behind a package when installing/removing via aptitude means? Example: "The following packages will be REMOVED: language-support-translations-en{a}" [19:56] but the solutions I saw all relate to fan speed and cpu throttling [19:56] zyxxy: any installation instructions? [19:56] hey guys what do most of you usually use to update your software synaptic or the term [19:56] bumber: don't know, but I would guess it could be the apm for Ubuntu [19:56] which I do not think is the issue here because my fan runs fine and my CPU cools just fine [19:56] Untouchab1e: just a second, i have to look up the right plugin directory [19:56] grodius: aptitude :) [19:56] !crosspost | suit [19:56] suit: Please don't ask the same question in multiple Ubuntu channels at the same time. Many helpers are in more than one channel and it's not fair to them or the other people seeking support. [19:56] In wine , when i click Control Panel under ALSA DRIVER , i get control panel not implemented yet .. How do i fix that ? [19:56] zyxxy: thanks [19:57] Pici: Sorry, I just wasn't sure if that's a karmic thing or not. Won't happen again. [19:57] bumber: unless the RAM is shovelling lots of data, I don't see any reason for it to get "hot" [19:57] Untouchab1e: ok, just download the flash 10 x64 beta from adobe, unpack it and copy libflashplayer.so to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins [19:57] someone know how smsbox works with Kannel? [19:58] jeroen_: pardon ? [19:58] zyxxy: awesome.. I run Shiretoko (Unbranded Firefox 3.5).. do I need to place the libflashplayer.so in the plugins folder for that too? [19:58] tonii: I've also read that the kernel might be constantly swapping unused ram from the ram stick to the swap partition [19:58] bumber: that's not how swap works [19:58] ikonia hi i installed Kannel its a wap/sms server [19:58] Untouchab1e: don't know about that, but many browsers look in the firefox directory already - IIRC, opera already does that. just try it :) [19:58] !info kannel [19:58] kannel (source: kannel): WAP and SMS gateway. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.4.3-0ubuntu1 (jaunty), package size 1129 kB, installed size 2904 kB [19:59] jeroen_: ok - what's up ? [19:59] Anyone else having problem with launchpad now? [19:59] hello I need to modprobe smsc911x but that module is not found - where can I find it? [19:59] The interface keeps screwing up and I am constantly being logged out [19:59] hwilde: it may not be included in the ubuntu kerne [19:59] kernel [19:59] bumber: I wouldn't know anything about that, I only have 1GB ram and I barely use the swap as it is >.< [19:59] ikonia, I can't find it *anywhere* [19:59] LordMetroid, I am [20:00] hwilde: what device is it for ? [20:00] ikonia, nothing much i installed the pakage but i have to change the config file orso to regornice the sms wap server [20:00] I have 512mb and it rarely cuts into swap [20:00] Ok, I was worried it was something on my [20:00] i get this while trying to umount...before i force it to umount just want to know what's going on...:(it's in french) démontage : /media/disk-1: périphérique occupé. [20:00] tonii: what does the cached section mean in free -m [20:00] ikonia, it's an embedded ethernet port http://www.smsc.com/index.php?tid=145&pid=116 [20:00] i read the www.kannel.org page but its in english and my native language is dutch [20:01] Sorry, I have to leave will come back later. [20:01] ikonia, the instructions everywhere say "Add smsc911x to /etc/modules" or "modprobe smsc911x" http://www.nabble.com/Overo-Earth-%2B-Ethernet---USB-td23457473.html [20:01] jeroen_: maybe see if #ubuntu-nl can translate [20:01] does any one where I can find the change from mythbuntu 9.10 [20:01] hwilde: contact them to surprise it [20:01] hwilde: "provide" it sorry [20:01] bumber: Don't know, but I would assume it's cached data for regulary used applications [20:01] cached, but not used [20:01] ikonia, they odn't support linux of course :/ [20:02] hwilde: yes they do, the source code for the module is on their site [20:02] zyxxy: ok, ive copied the file.. but flash still isnt workin in Firefox 3.0 at least [20:02] Untouchab1e: did you restart firefox? [20:02] yep [20:02] Spirits-Sight: what do you want to find? [20:02] ikonia, well the latest I can find is from kernel 2.6.28-6 /lib/modules/2.6.28-6-386/kernel/drivers/net/smsc911x.ko and I am afraid it doesn't exist for the current kernels [20:03] Untouchab1e: strange... so the plugin is in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so? [20:03] if you can do ftp:server help? Press 1 and enter ;) [20:03] kavurt: I would just like to know what feature or improvment have happen? [20:03] hwilde: looks like it's a 3rd party module [20:03] Mattaspads: what's the problem [20:04] Untouchab1e: look for any firefox processes with 'ps axc' after you close all windows - sometimes, firefox tends to stay alive even after that [20:04] ikonia: http://www.bit-tech.net/bits/2007/06/05/build_your_own_server/comments/24 this is the guide i used, on page 4 you can see how i connected via my windows, but now i am using a linux, and cant understand shit :P scuse the language [20:05] Spirits-Sight: http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/karmic/alpha4 [20:05] Mattaspads: please control your language [20:05] xyz [20:05] any command that show what running process use a mounted drive that we can't umount? [20:05] ikonia: i will ;) [20:05] Mattaspads: I can't support that guide as it's basiclly comments of nonsense [20:06] Mattaspads: just use the "ftp" command to connect to an ftp server [20:06] CaptainCrook: lsof ? [20:06] kavurt: but I don't see any talk about mythbuntu on there? I don't see any thing on lauchpad either, is the development come to a halt ? [20:06] ikonia: i don't get it ? well, where do i type ftp ? [20:07] how do I turn off my computer honking at me every time I backspace with no remaining characters? [20:07] ikonia: in my prowser? [20:07] Mattaspads: application -> accessories -> termainl [20:07] Spirits-Sight: sorry, i thought you're asking about ubuntu [20:08] kavurt: thanks anyhow [20:08] ikonia: ftp> 192.168.0.107 [20:08] ?Invalid command [20:08] Bosox20051: system, settings, audio, second tab (sounds, i think), third box (play alarm sounds or so) [20:08] Mattaspads: I didn't say ftp> [20:08] Mattaspads: I said "ftp" [20:08] Mattaspads: just wandered into this conversation...but you are experiencing culture shock. If this is your first time using something based on Linux, and you go into it expecting "a windows experience", I guarantee that you will at the least be frustrated, and at most will not succeed.... [20:08] linux != windows [20:08] Mattaspads: try "ftp 192.168.0.107" [20:09] Spirits-Sight: but I don't think it's came to a halt. because there's an alpha 4 release for mythbuntu too [20:09] Mattaspads: also open the package manager and search for ftp - you'll find some front end applications [20:10] erUSUL, yeah but it doesn't show what i want to see... i want to see why that partition is busy and why it prevent umounting... [20:10] quieteyes: i know linux is not a windows, that is why i want to learn it ;) couse i dont like windows, but i try by reding tutorials, and in time i might understand more ;) [20:11] is there a command to change created on or modified on dates on files? === guillaume_ is now known as freko28 [20:11] zyxxy: Is there a way I can switch the source rather than turning it off? [20:12] Lasivian: man touch [20:12] Lasivian: type "man touch" [20:12] thanks [20:12] zyxxy: I just don't need it so loud [20:12] ikonia: il try but i get this: joh@joh:~$ "ftp 192.168.0.107" [20:12] bash: ftp 192.168.0.107: command not found [20:12] lol man touch ;) [20:12] Bosox20051: you want it to be played back by your speakers instead of the internal one? [20:13] zyxxy: Just so I would be able to control the volume. I guess unless I have a sound I want played my alternative is to turn it of... [20:13] quieteyes: can i ask you, how did you lern linux? [20:13] Mattaspads: you'll only need to use quotes to capture spaces. When you put the command in with quotes like that, it treats it as a single entity on the command line, instead of two [20:13] * Lasivian renames the man binary to woman [20:13] *off [20:13] CaptainCrook: and « sudo lsof /dev/sdxx » does not shou it ? [20:13] Mattaspads: You wouldn't believe me. [20:13] quieteyes: how :P ? [20:13] Bosox20051: i'm pretty sure there is no way to control the volume of the pc speaker, i'm not even aware of a way to change it to the external speakers [20:13] follow this link http://superuser.com/questions/9721/why-did-you-start-with-linux-and-why-did-you-continue-using-it/9886#9886 [20:14] that is how I learned [20:14] but if anybody else here could tell me how to redirect the hardware bell to pulseaudio, i'd be very happy :) [20:14] erUSUL, lsof: WARNING: can't stat() fuse.gvfs-fuse-daemon file system [20:14] when i insert a sd card will it auto open it or do i have to mount it or something [20:15] zyxxy: for older PCs, just unplug the speaker. For newer ones, some of them are now starting to route the speaker through the onboard sound...so it all depends :P [20:15] erUSUL, so i tryed sudo lsof /media/disk-1/ it show only lsof... [20:15] quieteyes: i know how to disable the sound, but i want to hear a nice PCM file via my sound card instead ;) [20:15] where would the sd mount to? [20:16] /dev/ [20:16] Hello, I'm wondering how to backup user mail using maildirs with postfix and dovecot? [20:16] quieteyes: what you mean ? it is a forum ? :P [20:16] Mattaspads: this link is the story of "how I learned". Or at least 85% of it. The rest I did on my own time. http://superuser.com/questions/9721/why-did-you-start-with-linux-and-why-did-you-continue-using-it/9886#9886 [20:17] zyxxy: actually that did exactly what I needed, thank you very much. [20:17] you're welcome :) [20:17] quieteyes: so would you say, that you are an advanced user now ? [20:18] AdamDV: #ubuntu-server might be the more appropriate place to ask for that [20:18] how can I install gstreamer and its devel package? [20:18] hi.what can explain that my old kernel entries are not deleted after an update ? [20:18] stefg: Everyone's idle or no one knows :/ [20:18] Mattaspads: I do regular admin work at my employer, so I guess you could say it...although I wouldn't go that far... [20:18] hey all [20:18] il look at the link ;) [20:19] i'm having a problem partitioning my new, second hard drive; gparted says input/output error === Main is now known as Niam [20:20] AdamDV: in here it's: noone knows, but making noise at it :-) .... but seriously: is there anything specail about maildirs? I'd use something like rdiff-backup and make , well, backups on a separate disk/foel server [20:20] Hmmm [20:20] ok. [20:20] so uh, does anyone have experience with running a second internal hard drive? [20:20] hi I cannot mount my usb /dev/sdb1 [20:20] stefg: I have hard time understanding what you mean by 'special'. [20:20] Alright, thanks. [20:20] it doesn't show up in /media either [20:21] guys [20:21] a little help needed [20:21] unj, disconnect and reconnect it and type "dmesg" and see if it registers [20:21] hi [20:21] i need help [20:21] !ask [20:21] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [20:21] what is mfc ? does microsoft visual studio contain mfc? [20:21] with gthumb [20:22] hwilde: yeah it recognizes, but says not in fstab when I try mount command [20:22] swapy: MFC = Microsoft Foundation Classes. [20:22] swapy: Thats not really on-topic for this channel. [20:22] unj, pastebin the relevant parts at the end of your dmesg please [20:22] hey all, attempting to install xubuntu on an old PIII 750Mhz laptop. I have even tried Ubuntu server edition but nothing will work. All i get is: "Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!" [20:22] b3rz3rk3r, does the livecd work [20:23] hwilde, no, not even ALT install works :( [20:23] b3rz3rk3r: install sounds borked. Might want to consider burning a new one if possible [20:23] why doesnt show gthumb the pictures, after i renamed many of them at the same time ??? [20:23] hwilde: http://pastebin.com/m1097d2a6 [20:23] how can I install gstreamer and its devel package? [20:23] alankila: maildirs on a mail server means that you have a file for every mail.... you'll end up having fanstastillions of files on a machine like that with quite a few users. that makes it special, but not special enough that ordinary backup methods don't work [20:23] !gstreamer [20:23] Sorry, I don't know anything about gstreamer [20:24] hwilde, quieteyes i can get DSL and puppy to both run fine, but none of my debian based distros run... [20:24] stefg: yes, I imagine a maildir system is more robust than mbox file, anyway... you have single, atomic files to drop into your backup rather than something which changes or is rewritten all the time [20:24] why arent the pictures i renamed at gthumb shown ? [20:24] b3rz3rk3r: given the age of the laptop, have you considered disabling ACPI when you boot the kernel? [20:24] unj, mkdir /media/mycard then sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/mycard [20:24] so maildirs, if anything, should be the easier to backup and recover. [20:25] anyone have experience in partitioning hard drives? gparted is giving me the error: input/output error during write on /dev/sdb [20:25] quieteyes, i have used the flags from the F6 menu, but they dont seem towork, so i entered them manually.. still no joy :( [20:25] alankila: yes and no. I have regular backups of 2.5 million emails stored as maildir. It goes well but the differential backups (incrementals) sometimes take a bit [20:25] b3rz3rk3r, edit the boot line and take off ro quiet splash and add pollirq routeirq acpi=off [20:25] quieteyes: yes, a lot of data. But would it be any easier if they were all in mbox? [20:25] gthumb doesnt show the pictures i renamed with gthumb ! whats wrong ??? [20:25] hwilde, il give that a go now.. thx [20:26] alankila: yes and know. easier to back up, but I've had mboxes implode on me. maildir is actually not too bad, provided you don't have users storing 8 years of unsorted email [20:26] b3rz3rk3r, you might also want to enable /etc/default/bootlogd BOOTLOGD_ENABLE=Yes [20:26] if you have a differential backup system, to use mbox sanely it would have to be able to make some kind of diff against that file. Which can be dozens of megabytes. I somehow think it's easier just to deal with the separate files. [20:27] I mean, on overall system level complexity, it *has* to be superior solution. [20:27] hwilde: it asks for a filesystem type, I tried fat=16 and fat=32 from man mount but neither worked [20:27] unj, sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /media/mycard [20:27] hwilde: ty [20:29] hwilde: http://pastebin.com/m1eed68fa [20:29] unj, so... is it an unformatted usb drive ? [20:29] hwilde: sudo fdisk -l syas it is Fat16 [20:29] hwilde: no [20:29] hi all [20:29] hwilde: I have used it many times before [20:29] new here [20:30] is there no anonimity on irc then? [20:30] what would umounting the linux-swap partition do? === lamer is now known as lamer-work [20:30] CaptainCrook: it is not mounted in that sense, but swapoff:ing it means that the swapped data will be loaded in RAM, if it fits. I imagine you may risk running into out-of-memory conditions this way. [20:31] but once you have disabled the swap, and provided there was enough memory, you should continue as before. [20:31] hwilde, trying with Xubuntu alternate as its the lightest i have right now... first lot give the same output. do i just append BOOTLOGD_ENABLE=Yes to the end too? [20:31] just english? [20:32] * alankila no longer has disk-based swaps, just ramzswap [20:32] treiny: Yes, What language are you looking for? [20:32] b3rz3rk3r, sudo vi /etc/default/bootlog === silver is now known as Silver_Swords [20:32] is there someone who wants to help me with a patch program on my ubuntu, for my playstation [20:32] dutsh [20:32] dutch [20:33] !dutch | treiny [20:33] treiny: Nederlandstalige ondersteuning voor Ubuntu (en vers gezette koffie) is te vinden in #ubuntu-nl [20:33] Unislash: are you positive that your hardware is good? taht sounds like a broken disk (or lose/bad cable) [20:33] super! Iĺl chek on #nl!! Thanks [20:33] hwilde, but dont i need to be ablet o get to a terminal for that? [20:33] If I install KDE4.3 in Jaunty, will I have the same audio problems as KDE4.3 in Karmic? [20:33] alankila, ok... let say i have an extended partion that i want to modify and that extended include two virtual partition, one for storage and the linux-swap... what would be the best way to make it without virtual patition only boot, extended, swap ? [20:33] stefg: well, i'm not absolutely positive... it's new, fresh from newegg, but that doesn't mean it's not broken... [20:33] b3rz3rk3r: have you considered booting single-user and then doing an exam? [20:34] b3rz3rk3r, oh. yeah. if the livecd doesn't work you're pretty much screwed [20:34] how to install gstreamer in hardy system ? [20:34] Unislash: sad but true ... but let'S assume the connection is bad... [20:34] hwilde, meh.. thats what i thought.. guess il go with puppy then.. :( [20:34] stefg: i'm thinking it may be broken as well... so if i can't fix it using linux "magic" i'ma have to replace it... :( [20:34] CaptainCrook: well, use swapon -s to see if you have lots of stuff in swap currently. If not, you can probably swapoff safely, copy whatever data to wherever you want to stash it while doing your partition rearrangements... [20:35] b3rz3rk3r: two quick questions - which cd are you using (live or alternate) and what boot options? [20:35] stefg: that's what i thought, so i switched the sata cables with my dvd reader (i was using a really good sata cable for that). no luck... [20:35] join #plonechannel [20:35] hwilde: ? [20:35] quieteyes, right not currently trying Xubuntu 9.04 ALT.. as i dont think the Live cd's work too well for such small amounts of RAM [20:35] I'm somewhat confused by your question, though. I thought that in your terminology a virtual partition lives within an extended partition. Yet you say you don't want a virtual partition but do want extended partition. [20:35] hi i want to transfer the trombay notes onto my laptop how 2 do tht? [20:35] join #rob0t7 [20:36] b3rz3rk3r: how much ram? what model laptop? [20:36] where can i find them in home === bogie_ is now known as bogie [20:36] Unislash: if you have a bit of time you could try first to just zero it... if dd throws errors you know it's bad. and there'S smartmontools as well. let the disk diagnose itself [20:36] navlar: You need to put a slash before join: /join #channel [20:36] stefg: i have time; what should i do first? [20:37] quieteyes, its an old PIII 750Mhz Asus... something. 256MB RAM according to puppy when i ran a benchmark in there [20:37] b3rz3rk3r: that should be enough. There are a number of ways to get this to work. [20:37] Unislash: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/[yourdev] writes zeroes ... until end of device is reached [20:37] quieteyes, i realsie that a livecd should work, but i seem to get the same issues.. IO APIC errors [20:37] hi where r the trombay notes stored in the pc? [20:37] hwilde: I tried on another comp and it failed [20:37] b3rz3rk3r: try noapic [20:37] can you give me russian chanel UBuntu& [20:37] Unislash: you'll need sudo [20:37] unj, well there ya go [20:38] ? [20:38] b3rz3rk3r, go into the bios and disable everything, extra floppy drives, cd drives, raid everything you don't have [20:38] b3rz3rk3r: also, did it run fine with Windows to begin with? What is the history of the machine? [20:38] stefg: what about writing nulls? [20:38] dimon: #ubuntu-ru [20:38] Unislash: that's what i mean :-) [20:38] quieteyes, yeah, the flags dont seem to affect it, iv tried -noapic nolapic noacpi nolacpi [20:38] ok [20:38] b3rz3rk3r: let me put it this way: i have a debian 5 install running on a VM with 128mb so 256 should work fine [20:39] quieteyes, haha wow [20:39] stefg: k :) then dd=if/dev/null of=/dev/sdb right? [20:39] quieteyes, thats cool [20:39] which source I should use to install gstreamer ? I am getting error no package available when trying to install apt-get install gstreamer-universe? [20:39] quieteyes, yeah had win98 on here before, and iv had it as a freenas server for the past 6 months [20:39] quieteyes, both working fine [20:39] Unislash: /dev/zero != /dev/null ... /dev/zero YIELDS zero's /dev/null is a sink to nowhere [20:40] b3rz3rk3r: for low mem, the Ubuntu alternate Cd is probably your best bet (that and Xubuntu)...but if the kernel is freezing before it switches to runlevel 5 then yeah, it's a hardware issue [20:40] alankila, about 1/100 is currently used... if i want to copy those... i guess i have to mount it (haven't worked much with linux-swap)... right? [20:40] b3rz3rk3r, try removing compiz. i had a similar pc and it used to work ok without it. [20:40] b3rz3rk3r: and I take it from your past comments that debian also croaked [20:40] quieteyes, ubuntu seems to kick up a fuss with APIC.. and nothing i can do to disable it [20:40] stefg: k, so write zeros then? :) [20:40] quieteyes, yeah, seems to be debian related to old PIII architechture? [20:41] CaptainCrook: copy what exactly? Swap data is not copied, there is practically no filesystem on it... What you want is just to swapoff temporarily and then do your changes, whatever they are, and eventually mkswap a new swap and then swapon that. [20:41] Silver_Swords, i cant even get it installed, so not a compiz issue ;) [20:41] does anyone have problems With hibernation When battery runs loW? [20:41] alankila, ohhh. [20:41] hello. Anyone install jaunty with debootstrap? [20:41] Unislash: right... but wouldn't hurt to inspect the smart status before wasting time... sudo apt-get install smartmontools ... then read man smartctl [20:41] b3rz3rk3r, is your vga built-in? [20:41] quieteyes, im going to go and disable everything except cd and HDD and see what happend.. BIOS is pretty bare if i remeber rightly [20:42] Is this the general help IRC? First time using IRC ever [20:42] kk, one sec... [20:42] Silver_Swords, its an old old laptop [20:42] b3rz3rk3r, oops [20:42] Grifulkin: This is #ubuntu, the Ubuntu help channel. For general IRC help, better ask in #freenode [20:42] Grifulkin: this is the general help channel for ubuntu [20:42] my computer doesn't auto suspend When battery runs loW, any ideas? [20:42] running ubuntu jaunty [20:43] Thank you [20:43] b3rz3rk3r: I'll see what boot options are on the alternative Cd; also, what version? you doing 8.10, 9.04? [20:44] farchumbre: Try checking the power options it should be in there I would assume [20:44] farchumbre: power management is still not what I call 1.0 quality. Some machines still do not respond like they should, especially laptops. [20:44] Sorry for the noobish question guys, but why do some people say *nix? [20:45] HexFlash: it refers to linux and unix-like systems [20:45] farchumbre: I would look at nudging the settings for "low battery warning" to something a little higher, say when the battery hits 15% [20:45] ok thanks [20:45] HexFlash: it's a "family" thing [20:46] HexFlash: *nix is actually more of an idea than an OS...there are several reincarnations of it... [20:46] quieteyes, im currently trying Xubuntu 9.04 ALT.. but i have access to everything ubuntu in live and ALT configs [20:46] quieteyes I tried it but it still doesn't Work [20:46] HexFlash:http://steve-parker.org/articles/others/stephenson/oral.shtml <--- gives a better idea about why we say *nix [20:46] Greetings. [20:47] grifulkin I set the options to do that but it doesn't Work, it used to Work a While ago before some of the updates [20:47] quieteyes:Thanks, I'll check that out [20:47] quieteyes, options are: acpi=off noapic nolapic edd=on free software only [20:47] stefg: the tool isn't finding my drive [20:47] b3rz3rk3r: simplify - just start with noapic acpi=off apm=off [20:47] farchumbre, oh well I was just coming up with a suggestion I've been using linux for a year but still know too much [20:48] stefg: gparted says it's at /dev/sdb but when i throw that into the command for smartctl, it cannot find a drive there [20:48] I have installed my Epson Stylus CX7300 (Ubuntu 9.04) but I can't find a way to make the scanner work. (X-sane says there is no scanner present) [20:48] farchumbre, still dont' know too much [20:48] il enter them manually then, as apm=off isnt an option [20:48] Unislash: bios settings? autodetected it? [20:48] yea [20:49] Unislash: does sudo fdisk -l show any signs of that disk? [20:49] stefg: when i was first troubleshooting the drive, i thought it might be a problem with raid (i'm not trying to do raid), so i looked in the bios and it all seemed to be autodetected... [20:49] quieteyes, same thing.. ends in kernel panic [20:50] stefg: nope [20:50] b3rz3rk3r: just before the panic, what is on the screen? [20:50] stefg: but gparted sees it... [20:50] There was an error creating the child process for this terminal...and in synaptic i get ...Error failed to fork pty [20:50] I have installed my Epson Stylus CX7300 (Ubuntu 9.04) but I can't find a way to make the scanner work. (X-sane says there is no scanner present) [20:50] running call traces, then a segmentation fault. resulting in kernel panic [20:50] Once my laptop restarts from being sleeping, the fans don't work and 20 min later my comp swich off because of the keyboard is boiling hot, some one with the same problem? [20:51] hey guys [20:51] Unislash: hmm.... makes no sense to me... [20:51] quieteyes, running call traces, then a segmentation fault. resulting in kernel panic === kb is now known as Guest49956 [20:51] yo yo yo [20:51] stefg: fdisk sees my /dev/sda disk and its partitions though :P [20:52] or, wait, yea, it sees the other disk [20:52] ActionParsnip, yo! [20:52] stefg: i was wrong, fdisk does see my new disk [20:52] b3rz3rk3r: according to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LowMemorySystems it should run easily in that amount of memory...I would reconsider using a mainline install (regular 9.04 or deb 5) and try again... [20:52] Unislash: good old cfdisk... sudo cfisk /dev/sdb (or whatever that disk is) ? [20:52] Okay so I am at my girlfriends house with my Ubuntu 9.04 Laptop and I feel as if the Internet doesn't like my OS very much, from time to time my connection to the update servers cancels out and my torrents seem to always be slow and then never upload but my girlfriend doesn't have a problem with the XP desktop I built her so I guess my question is can the Internet not like Ubuntu? [20:53] Unislash: sudo cfdisk /dev/sdb (or whatever that disk is) that is [20:53] quieteyes, alright, il give it a go again.. 9.04 live [20:53] stefg: yup, sdb, but it says command not found [20:53] b3rz3rk3r: the other thing is that some of the non-mainline builds often have "other options"...which means, they are not exactly 100% the same [20:53] stefg: k, one sec [20:53] stefg: yay, fatal error :D [20:53] b3rz3rk3r: this means that you might have a different kernel build...ergo, there might be something in that version of the kernel that barfs on startup [20:53] stefg: "cannot open disk drive" [20:53] folks... i'm having a big trouble with ubuntu 9.04: i installed it yestarday, and restarted it. When the Boot started, the screen was filled with ubuntu symbols, but with diferent colors and stuff, like a very huge error... it seemed to me that some fatal error ocurred during the installation... but the installation was perfect =/... does someone had the same problem? [20:54] Um_cara_qualquer: your video card has freaked. [20:54] quieteyes, ok.. il give regular ubuntu a go and then just uninstall the gnome enviro [20:54] Unislash: bios or hardware .... what make and model is that ? [20:54] stefg: the hard drive? [20:54] Grifulkin, like, is the internet the matrix and is ubuntu, "neo" ? [20:54] Unislash: yup [20:54] b3rz3rk3r: sounds like win to me. :) [20:54] quieteyes: hmmm... but i'm using linux mint here... right this moment [20:54] um_cara_qualquer: did you md5 check the iso you downloaded as well as verify the cd once initially booted to? [20:55] no [20:55] how i do that [20:55] Anybody ever had to deal with bluebird and an LG DVD/RW Drive? [20:55] stefg: WD cavalier black 1tb... getting number... [20:55] deany, I don't know maybe, I never cared to watch the Matrix [20:55] Grifulkin, how are you connecting to the internet with ubuntu [20:55] Seems LG issued a firmware update but it requires Winblows [20:55] deany, Wireless [20:55] um_cara_quelquer: then you have no way of knowing the cd you installed with was good [20:56] Grifulkin, what typical signal % do yo get [20:56] go check the iso and b oot to the cd again and run the verifier [20:56] stefg: Western Digital Caviar Black WD1001FALS 1TB [20:56] deany, it usually hovers between 40 and 60 percent [20:56] can anyone help me set up my wireless for ubuntu 9.04? [20:56] am I connected? [20:56] can you connect via a cable? [20:56] um_cara_quelquer: if either test fails you will need to redownload and/or reburn [20:56] Grifulkin, just to test [20:57] ActionParsnip: i installed it through a pen drive [20:57] !md5 | um_cara_quelquer [20:57] um_cara_quelquer: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [20:57] but anyway... how can i do that [20:57] ah [20:58] software update and synaptic are giving me... Error failed to fork pty...terminal is giving me.. There was an error creating the child process for this terminal...? [20:58] um_cara_quelquer: you still need to verify what you have used is right especially the iso. it may have errors or be the wrong size [20:58] deany, yeah I'll test it out [20:58] Unislash: and that's connected directly to the motherboard (no fake raid or other bs involved?) [20:58] sound in my laptop(with ubuntu 9.040 is not working now.. [20:58] Grifulkin, if you can, use a cable and do your normal business and see how it goes. how far away are you from the wifi? 40-60% seems quite low. Ive been out in the garden like 30 feet away and its only dropped 10% [20:58] it was workign 5 minutes before.. [20:58] floridaguy: try a reboot [20:58] uhum [20:58] any guesses ? [20:58] i'm on it [20:59] ActionParsnip, did that [20:59] Grifulkin, wireless isnt great on some chipsets tho, as another laptop I have has told me [20:59] stefg: straight through a high-quality sata cable [20:59] stefg: i haven't tried to do anything tricky :) [20:59] deany, yeah this is a huge house, and the router is tucked in a corner in one of thek rooms and its not a particularly good router to begin with a cheap dlink I thin [21:00] Unislash: then i'd go trying to zero it with the dd command as mentioned above. [21:00] um_cara_qualquer: OS CDs are hugely sensitive to bit errorsa and you have blindly installed using an untested ISO [21:00] alankila, i guess a primary partition would have been better than an extended... now i don't want to lose data on that partition and i'm too lazy to burn it all on dvd... gonna have to format it all before partition rearrengement... unless there is some geek solution... [21:00] deany, yeah this laptop is quite old I bought it 06 and been through three hard drives [21:00] Unislash: if it fails on that i'm pretty certain the hardware is broken [21:01] grifulkin: i have waay old systems [21:01] CaptainCrook: I can see no reason to prefer a primary over an extended [21:01] i installed it through a pen drive [21:01] ActionParsnip, what eles is there [21:01] stefg: no bother checking that the bios is correct then? [21:01] um_cara_qualquer: you still used an ISO file right [21:01] got another idea [21:02] Unislash: of course check the bios first... is it new enough to deal with 1TB drives ? [21:02] ActionParsnip, actually my girlfriends mother is going to give me a 98 desktop they won't turn on anymore so I'm going to fix it up and maybe use it as a media server at home [21:02] stefg: should be; top of the line last year [21:02] CaptainCrook: what is your concern with partition types? [21:03] software update and synaptic are giving me... Error failed to fork pty...terminal is giving me.. There was an error creating the child process for this terminal...any ideas? [21:03] stefg: what should i be looking for in the bios? [21:03] grifulkin: could use it as a file/backup server. i use a P200 w/ 128mb EDO RAM as my fileserver. its great [21:03] Ok, so firefox on my laptop's ubuntu partition seems to have a very hard time with flash video, far harder than ubuntu on my desktop which runs it fine. Is there a reason for this? I'm using firefox 3.5 on my desktop rather than 3.0, which is on my laptop. Would that make a difference? [21:03] guntbert, got my storage + my swap in the extended... to make it boot, storage, swap i'd have to delete the whole extended... [21:03] Unislash: if it's detected correctly ... model name and number [21:04] floridaguy: read: dmesg | tail may help [21:04] stefg: it does that fine [21:04] <|sanchez|> i am having wifi issues with a asus 1008ha, installed ethernet and then updated and installed linux-backports-jaunty package and rebooted no wireless yet, anyone familiar with this issue [21:04] ActionParsnip, that sounds cool, and it would be a cool project for me, I'm not up on all that server stuff but I would like to be. [21:04] where are the system xsession files stored? [21:04] Unislash: so try to zero it.... do that overnight, will take some time [21:04] ActionParsnip, where's that at [21:04] <|sanchez|> Grifulkin: its easy to network a bunch of linux systems windows is the pain in the *** [21:04] i would have expected /etc/X11 but im not seeing them there [21:04] stefg: ok, will do :) [21:05] grifulkin: its just a pc sharing resources. nothing special [21:05] stefg: thanks again [21:05] Cige: I agree. Flash works much better in firefox-3.5. [21:05] Greetings [21:05] CaptainCrook: I still can see no problem, please pastebin the output of sudo fdisk -l [21:05] Hey, somebody on the Ubuntu forums said in order to install the driver for my video card, I had to downgrade xorg [21:05] How do I do that? [21:05] anyone know how to force GDM auto login? i tried editing the .conf and still no luck [21:05] |sanchez|, yeah I've tried that in the past never got it working correctly [21:05] andrunning gdmsetup [21:05] stefg++ [21:05] :) [21:05] minimec: do you think I should upgrade, 3.5 runs pretty well for me [21:05] jshriver, try using gdmsetup [21:06] Cige: I am using firefox-3.5 on all my computers. [21:06] HOw do i change my apache root folder /var/www to somwehre else ? [21:06] guntbert, well i have another partition in extended that i wanted to delete and resize the storage partition... [21:06] minimec: on, I'll go to 3.5, I've never had a problem with it. [21:06] Tyrus: tried, that under Security and user list nothing get's populated. Tried manually entering usename click close and nothing. Re-run gdmsetup and name is gone [21:06] ActionParsnip, yeah, I try to be all computer savy because I know more than all my friends but I like to know a lot more [21:06] g3org3s: i suggest moving the folder then using a symlink [21:06] Ciantic: neither did I... [21:06] jshriver: go to system/administration/login window - tab security [21:06] guntbert, so now it's unused space... and can't resize... [21:06] ActionParsnip, where do i find dmesg | tail [21:07] ActionParsnip can you elaborate on taht please ? [21:07] cige Neither did I... [21:07] g3org3s: not sure if apache likes symlinks [21:07] floridaguy: its a terminal command [21:07] ActionParsnip its not about jsut editing a file and changing value ? like gedit style [21:07] recently my screensaver does not kick in after the time limit [21:07] guntbert: aye that's gdmsetup, doesnt work. [21:07] !dapper [21:07] Ubuntu 6.06 LTS (Dapper Drake) was the fourth release of Ubuntu. Desktop support ended on July 14th 2009, Server support will end in June 2011. See !upgrade for upgrade instructions [21:07] any ideas why it stopped working? [21:07] guntbert: rather when I type in a username it doesnt work or save it. [21:07] I have a feeling I'm going to get hooked on IRC [21:07] CaptainCrook: you cannot resize a mounted partition, try it from live CD with gparted [21:08] ActionParsnip, i have no terminal....There was an error creating the child process for this terminal [21:08] ActionParsnip the problem is , there is an html file in root when i run it , it should fetch files in the same folder , im suspecting something is blocking that , is it possbile ? [21:08] guntbert, i've umount it before it's not root it's storage still can't resize... [21:08] floridaguy: log off. log on to console logon instead. run it there [21:09] is there a java update i should know about? nothing java seems to work [21:09] ActionParsnip, how do i do that [21:09] jshriver: when you start gdmsetup - are you required to enter your pasword? [21:09] floridaguy: log off. in session select console. log on there [21:09] ok [21:09] guntbert: yes [21:10] guntbert: unless I run gdmsetup from the cli as root === stefg_ is now known as stefg [21:10] guntbert, you think boot from cd is better than umount the partition? [21:10] CaptainCrook: without seeing your disk setup, its hard to tell more [21:10] CaptainCrook: try from live CD - it doesn't hurt :-) [21:11] jshriver: *never* run a GUI app with sudo, use gksudo instead - but that shouldn't be the issue here [21:11] guest access checkbox is greyed out when i try to share a folder in hardy, how can i enable it? [21:12] guntbert: its needed sometimes to copy files to root owner folders in gui [21:12] test?

I mean apt-get -f install [21:32] Abhinav1, it will try to repair the packages [21:32] guntbert: everyone, even for users that have admin privileges [21:32] Resetting Compiz's settings seems to have done it...

[21:33] guntbert: i think i will add samba users, but it's not nice having to enter password all the time... [21:33] rblst: my question should have been: is this a problem with one particular folder or for every folder [21:33] navatwo: Yeah. Resetting the settings did it. [21:33] :) [21:33] how do i drop to shell? [21:33] IdleOne: one more question, Is there any way to install all the packages listed in apt-cache search gstreamer [21:34] shahzad: should be a proxy setting [21:34] I've done it myself a few times, you are welcome Andorin [21:34] navatwo: Now what I'd like to know... what could have caused that? Too much strain on the graphics card? [21:34] dutchbuntu: other kind of browsing is working well [21:34] Does anyone know how often beagle-update-index runs? If so, can that be configured by the user? [21:34] shahzad: uhm... [21:34] and just going to pop in with my compiz thing, earlier it broke pidgin for me as in i couldn't see anything -- buddy list or IMs, it's been fixed by restarting pidgin... what would be the cause of /that/?

[21:37] shahzad: does everything work in other locations (home)?

[21:38] th0r: is that something i can add using the packaage manager? [21:38] anyone know anything about why my wired connection is not working? === srg_ is now known as srge [21:38] Terabyte: yes, it should be in the repos, but if this is your main drive you are talking about, ubuntu defaults to ext3 so ntfs-3g isn't needed [21:39] hi anybody: i unable to hibernate my system, even though i got swap double than my ram momory i.e 4gb. and it is being mounted at boot time [21:39] i want to update my kernel is there an update i can get [21:39] Andorin: it could be on my end cause MSN took a couple tries to connect when I restarted pidgin [21:39] im running ubuntu 9.04 [21:39] drcheezenstein, cable is good?

Not seeing? [21:39] mrwes: yes it worked this morning with 8.10 [21:40] why did apt-get install phpmyadmin have to screw over my apache and php installation massively? [21:40] Terabyte: if it is ntfs then you do need ntfs-3g. You can check to see if the drive is recognized with the command 'fdisk -l' [21:40] rblst: good luck [21:40] mrwes: bnut as soon as I restarted for the reboot after upgrading the internet barely works but is working fine on all of the other computers [21:40] drcheezenstein, you connected to a router and/or cable modem?

Might be because ntfs-3g is not available...but I doubt it [21:42] th0r: ok, how do in install ntfs-3g it's not listed in add/remove programs when the filter is set to "all available programs" [21:42] im getting an error when installing ubuntu saying something like this: buffer I/O read error on dev sr0, what could it be from ?

[21:43] th0r: it says ntfs-3g is already the newsest version, so presumably i have it, maybe i should just restart the computer [21:43] bastidrazor: it's the drive ? [21:44] Terabyte: that would be my next guess [21:44] IdleOne; i think you're the one abusing it [21:44] TimothyA, also please watch your language and patience. [21:44] no, I've already solved it myself [21:44] th0r: ok thanks for your help, i'll be back soon :) [21:44] TimothyA, so your hear just because you feel like venting?

[21:45] I just solved it right now after the vent [21:45] stinger05, it could be the disc in it.. i/o error doesn't mean the drive is bad. it can not read the disc [21:45] TimothyA, the vent was to much....

[21:59] mrapplecomputer1: or libcurl4-dev [21:59] Grifulkin: :-) [21:59] mrapplecomputer1: or libcurl3-dev [21:59] Pjay, are you sure that your installation media isnt corrupt? [21:59] lstarnes: ok [22:00] guntbert, I was hoping there was a way I could hack into it, if there was I could stop his torrent program I think, I don't know if I'm that talented or not [22:00] b3rz3rk3r: I've used the same disc 3 times, but it's a brand new dvd-rw-disc. [22:00] thanks seems to be working lstarnes! [22:01] b3rz3rk3r: Maybe I should try 8.04 [22:01] rw aren't really a good idea as they leave the session open === Julia is now known as Guest36721 [22:01] mrapplecomputer1: for the future, if you type sudo apt-get install libcurl you get all possible packages listed === nico_ is now known as tbngn [22:01] guntbert: hmm interesting thanks [22:01] Pjay, try use a normal disk [22:01] nabend [22:02] b3rz3rk3r: Can't I close the disc? === Guest36721 is now known as Julia [22:02] is there a kernel upgrade for ubuntu 9.04 === Julia is now known as Julia_ [22:02] b3rz3rk3r: Windows works to install from a rw-disc [22:02] Grifulkin: no, we wouldn't support you in such an attempt :-) [22:02] zoneminder keeps giving me this stupid error people on forums say its a kernel problem [22:02] okay, so this is spammed into my window when I go into the terminals through ctrl + f2 (forget what they are called.) emask 0x10 sact 0x0 sErr 0x4000000 action oxe frozen. Anyone know what this means, and how to avoid it. It stops me from running "shutdown -r" even. Just spams it in six different sections on my screen. Its not a command, so pressing ctrl+c to stop it did not work. Anyone have any ideas? Google returned no answers. [22:02] Pjay, i have never tried it, so im not sure if it works or not. [22:03] hey all, I'm using ufw, and I can't seem to find any good examples of how to forward a port. I basically want to forward 3389 to an internal IP address (virtual machine, but has a NAT IP) [22:03] guntbert, I was assuming you wouldn't not like I'm going to do anything horrible but its not a good thing to be hacking into people's computers [22:03] I just installed Ubuntu Studio, and it only has a realtime kernel, and that is to slow for just general use. How can I install a normal (non-realtime) kernel? [22:03] Grifulkin: :-) [22:03] guntbert, how long have you been using linux?

[22:06] lanzelloth: if this machine wasn't the router, then probably yes [22:06] what happens if there's 2 programs with the same name? the one in the dir that's found first in $PATH gets run? [22:06] lanzelloth, yes === uukev is now known as ukev [22:06] leifmadsen, oh ok lol, didn't know what ufw was [22:06] joaopinto, ok === Floops[w]1 is now known as Floops[w] [22:10] I just installed Ubuntu Studio, and it only has a realtime kernel, and that is to slow for just general use. How can I install a normal (non-realtime) kernel? [22:10] how does wget -O - http://ip.tupeux.com | tail get your ip in conky?? [22:12] Is there a command to check what slots I have on my motherboard? I'm looking into buying a new video card. [22:13] is anyone around in here that uses zoneminder [22:13] I could use some help increasing my screen resolution I have installed the Radeon drivers but can't increase my screen resolution [22:13] lanzelloth: are you asking what that command does? [22:13] !anyone | adub [22:13] adub: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [22:14] guntbert, sort of, it gives multiline output on terminal but on conky it gives your ip address === hubba is now known as K [22:14] lanzelloth, there is a #conky channel too, if you don't get answers here === K is now known as kaeptn === kaeptn is now known as Kaeptn_Iglo [22:15] How do I configure nautilus as samba client with Ubuntu 8.04? When browsing to smb://host, nautilus complains: Couldn't find /home/niklas/smb:/host. It seem like smb:// is not recognized as protocol?? [22:16] is there an easy way to install java 7? [22:16] I all, I have a usb -> ide cable (converter), and for some reason it is not recognized in ubuntu 9.04 ? [22:16] do I need drivers for this ? [22:16] the drives I am testing are ntfs. (xp) [22:16] anybody has a linux driver for x1400? [22:17] I have tried changing them from primary to secondary to cable-selected none of them work [22:17] anyone know how I can get Ubuntu to recognize my HP laserjet 1100? [22:18] I even tried mountmanager, and that doesn't pick them up either [22:18] jusefd: the drivers for the x1400's etc are no longer being produced by ati for linux. heck even for windows the x1600 is set to legacy [22:18] does anyone know if there a scriptable program like zenity but able to create menus? [22:18] niklaso: it's better to use network:/// to browse the local network's shares [22:19] unless you know the SMB URI [22:19] showers: have you tried installing HPLIP? (I think that is the package) [22:19] ciros: ok thanks [22:20] Thanks Ciros, I'll have a look for it... [22:20] showers: get the HPLIP-gui too if you have a graphical system [22:21] bruce89: Entering network:/// gives "Couldn't find /home/niklas/network:" It's a very basic problem, not an inaccessible share. [22:21] niklaso: yikes, is gvfs-backends installed? [22:23] lanzelloth: try wget -O - http://ip.tupeux.com | less, you will see thats the only line going to stdout, the rest goes to stderr and hence not through the "pipe" [22:23] Hello there. I have a DVD image that I mount on my system, I play this using VLC, and in 1 particular part of the video, my computer freezes, forcing a reboot. I looked about hdparm and it says sata disks it doesn't matter so much anyway, and I'm not sure what to look for in my dmesg (if infact anything has been logged) [22:23] bruce89: yes, gvfs-backends is installed. Strange, I never had this problem with ubuntu before. The same ubuntu version works perfectly on a different computer. How can I debug be installation? === DaZ is now known as \\\ === \\\ is now known as Guest72905 [22:25] niklaso: I'm afraid I don't really know [22:26] I suppose that gvfs-smb is running === Guest72905 is now known as DaZ [22:28] how do I find out what patches ubuntu used for a package? (namely glibc and gcc for powerpc) [22:28] bruce89: how do I check if gvfs-smb is running? there is no such process in "ps -ax". Will it be executed by nautilus, or do I have to start it manually? [22:28] I think that gnome-session should run it automatically [22:29] Hello : is /home and z:\home the same destination ? [22:29] niklaso: actually, it is gvfsd-smb [22:29] g3org3s: linux has no volume letters [22:30] g3org3s: wine uses Z: to refer to / by default [22:30] g3org3s: and H: to refer to the user's home directory [22:30] Hi there, why is it that the repos. contains outdated apps. I need to install the latest vlc, but it only offers an old one. [22:30] guntbert i have a windows plugin under wine, when it asks for directroy , how should i point it there ? [22:30] hello all! can anyone help me with an email problem? I get "no route to host" when I try to send and receive mail in Evolution [22:30] juxbox: the repos contain the versions of the packages that were available at the time of release [22:31] g3org3s: I had no idea - listen to lstarnes please [22:31] bruce89: I have no gvfsd-smb in my path or in /usr/sbin. Where is yours, and which package does it belong to? [22:31] I'm having a weid issue when I apt-get upgrade. It waits for headers, but never gets any. apt-get install seems fine (in that it works). [22:31] juxbox: the packages are only updated to fix bugs and security issues [22:31] g3org3s: try H: or Z:\home [22:31] niklaso: it should be in gvfs-backends I think [22:31] 1 [22:31] juxbox : you can download it from http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-ubuntu.html [22:32] lstarnes, I see, so how can I enable my updates to check for any outdated apps? [22:32] I just installed 9.04 [22:32] zvacet, well I don't want to compile it. [22:32] bruce89: I found it at /usr/lib/gvfs/gvfsd-smb [22:32] juxbox: by default the updates automatically check for versions of packages older than the ones in the repos [22:32] juxbox : it is deb package read it [22:32] niklaso: indeed, I just remembered that [22:32] g3org3s: have a look at Applications/Wine/configure wine - Tab drives [22:33] does anyone know anything about the message "no route to host"? [22:33] hi. i know little to nothing. im trying to get my video driver,so i can use effects, but it wont show on hardware drivers [22:33] niklaso: do other gvfs backends work? [22:33] lejonmanen: it means that the IP you attempted to access could not be reached [22:33] lejonmanen: it is most likely due to an improperly configured network interface or an issue with a router [22:34] lejonmanen: proxy settings might also be related [22:34] bruce89: just calling "/usr/lib/gvfs/gvfsd-smb" as root gives "...Mount failed: Invalid mount spec". ... How do I check other gvfs backends? [22:34] test ftp in nautilus or something [22:34] lstarnes, thanks. would it help if i refreshed the routing cache and how do i do that? [22:34] lejonmanen: I don't know if it would help or how to do it [22:34] hi all, im having trouble keeping my swap on reboot, i use gparted to "swapon" my partition, and it displays as working in conky, but every time i hibernate or reboot it's not there again ... [22:36] lejonmanen: I don't think that would help - on a "end node"(=PC) there are usually no dynamic routes and so no cache too [22:36] bruce89: opening ftp://ftp.suse.com in nautilus give "Couldn't find /home/niklas/ftp:/ftp...", again. === carlos is now known as Guest96880 [22:36] niklaso: I see [22:37] ok. a weird thing is that i can connect to another imap account to read mail. seems to be an error with some mail servers? === saulus_ is now known as SauLus [22:38] how do I download the exact sources used to build a package? [22:38] visual html editor for linux? [22:38] bruce89: any idea what might be the problem? I have already updated the nautilus package. [22:38] ramiro: doesn't apt-get work? [22:39] lejonmanen: or the server is down? is it an official mail server? [22:39] niklaso: I'm looking into it [22:39] thanks [22:39] what does apt use to fetch deb files? How do I configure it to use wget ? [22:39] niklaso: it almost seems as if it's trying to find something like ~/protocol/blah [22:40] it is online, i can connect using thunderbird on windows [22:40] you did try something like ftp://ftp.gnome.org? [22:40] !who | lejonmanen [22:40] lejonmanen: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [22:41] Here's a potentially interesting problem for anyone interested. At my school the IT started using a Cisco network for the campus network and internet connection. When I try to load a web page all I get is a blank screen, like I'm not connecting at all. I heard Cisco has linux drivers or something. could that be it? [22:41] lejonmanen: that is the same machine or another one? [22:41] guntbert so if i want a windows app to go fetch /home/blabla , what is the route to that ? [22:41] guntbert: it's another one, but they're connected using ethernet to the same router [22:42] niklaso: did you change anything before it started not working, or has it never worked? [22:42] bruce89: Yes, exactly /home/niklas/protocol/... I tried ftp://ftp.suse.com, but get the same behavior with ftp://ftp.gnome.org [22:43] lejonmanen: yeah, apt-get source. sorry for the dumb question... [22:43] g3org3s: look into the drive tab please - if there is Z: = /home so Z:\blabla should be right [22:43] I talked to the IT Department and they want my MAC address and that's fine but if I have to switch comps it could mean a two day downtime min for getting them off their asses to add the new comp to the network [22:43] bruce89: I never tried smb:// or other protocols in nautilus on this machine before. [22:43] Would there be a better way to connect than having to give my MAC everytime I want to add a computer with Linux? [22:44] lejonmanen: could it be that you miss typed the server address in your client? [22:44] niklaso: ah, perhaps you should file a bug against gvfs and see what happens [22:44] hi folks [22:44] niklaso: I've never come across that issue before [22:44] does anyone know a remove viewing application that will allow me to autologin as standard user instead of getting me desktop for root === Shinobi is now known as Guest23047 [22:45] i want a ftp client for ubuntu. since i am recently a windows user, i was used to smat ftp. whats there for ubuntu [22:45] guntbert: no, that's not it :( [22:45] mralexandro: http://www.lmgtfy.com/?q=ubuntu+ftp+client [22:45] how do I get more screen resolution options I can't go past 1440x900 [22:45] how i i go about unistalling konversation and installing the new one [22:45] mrapplecomputer1 is that free? [22:46] mralexandro: maybe you should look at the link [22:46] mralexandro: the first one is already installed. in nautilus you can type ftp://ftp.gnome.org [22:46] hi. i'm trying to get a driver for my video card but it's not showing on hardware drivers [22:46] hehe sorry mrapplecomputer1 :D [22:46] mralexandro: no problem [22:46] syntax: I'm just guessing but, sudo kill konversation [22:46] slightlysalted what video card or driver? [22:46] slightlysalted: and what videocard do you have? [22:46] slightlysalted, but then there is password and port as well and i want to be able to uppload download etc with visual interferance [22:47] VGA compatible controller: Trident Microsystems XGI Volari XP5 (rev 02) [22:47] Hi, how can I change the keyboard layout via terminal?

So, if I took the deb-src packages of linux-igd from 9.04, how would I compile that into a deb for 8.04 since linux-igd was completely skipped in hardy? [22:56] lejonmanen: slow down please, now type telnet pop3, you should get a "connect", end that with quit [22:56] FireVai: why don't you check you HDD for bad sectors etc.............I don't remeber exact command but I know you can do it through parted (CLI) [22:56] I think there's a page that explains how to compile using deb-src packages, but where, I do not know, but that would suffice likely. [22:56] ok so can anyone suggest what to do to this hard drive so it will accept either ubuntu or windows.. after installing ubuntu it wouldnt boot.. no grub.. nothing.. said system disk missing.. please insert system disk and reboot [22:56] guntbert: yep, worked exactly like that [22:57] i did check the hd for errors [22:57] like i said it was fine, till i did updates [22:57] FireVai: is it alright?

[23:01] guntbert: i entered the ip adress instead of the hostname, and i got the exact same result as before. "no route to host". and it displayed the host name instead of the ip address [23:01] apparle: may i pm you.. room is too busy for me to follow [23:01] jondavis_: please turn off your caps lock key [23:01] I don't know how to make Ubuntu create a dual boot system and use that free NTFS partition on the 2nd HD [23:01] lejonmanen: what client is it?

I want to change from US to UK via terminal [23:06] lstarnes: I thought that ubuntu usually used wlan0 not eth1 for wireless [23:06] i dont think it is working [23:06] Cige: sometimes eth1 is used === Redd is now known as Guest35785 [23:06] detrix: you could try irc://irc.gimp.org/#gtk+ [23:06] jondavis_: You'll find that most hosts that you try to connect to with telnet will not accept the connection, because no one in their right mind uses telnet for anything anymore [23:07] lejonmanen: try with "direct connection" for now [23:07] bruce89: ok thanks [23:07] lejonmanen: we are only searching... [23:07] lstarnes: well, I guess that's fine, but I can't get wireless_essid to run in conky now to display the network i'm connected to [23:07] ok then what do that use then [23:07] jondavis_: type 'man telnet' into a terminal for a full manual.

Anyone know what this means, and how to avoid it. It stops me from running "shutdown -r" even. Just spams it in six different sections on my screen.

[23:09] jondavis_: Forget about telnet - it's useless and insecure. [23:09] lejonmanen: sorry, I can only suggest you use thunderbird for now - here it is as late as at your place and bed is calling :-) [23:09] zvacet: I didnt think xorg.conf was used by default anymore. And would a change in their not require an xserver restart before they take effect? [23:09] andrewgeek: There's a Linux version as well [23:09] oh [23:09] if i dont have putty install how do i get it [23:09] guntbert: ok, but thanks a lot for trying :) [23:10] lejonmanen: no problem and good night :-) [23:10] Bodsda : If you have that line in xorg.conf change it save and close file and reboot [23:10] jondavis_: you can install putty using the ubuntu menu "programs-> add-remove programs". when it is installed, type "man putty" in a terminal to learn how to use it [23:10] well how do i get putty [23:10] zvacet: reboot is not an option, this script is for livecd use [23:11] Bodsda : I can not help you with that one sorry [23:11] ubottu jaunty 9.04 update [23:11] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [23:11] do i need bouth putty programes [23:11] zvacet: ok no worries, thanks for trying dude [23:12] ubottu jokes [23:12] Sorry, I don't know anything about jokes [23:12] Bodsda:np === Taube is now known as taube [23:13] ubottu firefox [23:13] firefox is the default web-browser on Ubuntu.

[23:23] kermit: yea, i saw I/O errors & write protect off msges in /var/log/messages [23:24] Serendippo: if you're getting errors like that, your drive is dieing, i hope you have backups [23:24] Serendippo: you might look into smartctl for details about the drive conditoin [23:24] ok, i'll man that [23:24] i was hoping it was a filesystem error that could be fixed [23:25] it's an ext3 filesystem and heavily used for downloads, so i expect a lot of fragmentation [23:25] does anyone have experience with the "no route to host" problem? using Evolution for email [23:25] Serendippo: I/O error doesnt sound like filesystem.. what exactly was the error? you should get what you can off it [23:25] hi.. i need libavcodec52 in intrepid, but it's not in aptitude, how should i install it? [23:28] How do I get Evolution to transfer mail to/from Gmail?

[23:34] kermit: i think it will, i tried other stuff as root (chmod) & it gave errors [23:34] jondavis_, what do you need putty for that you cannot use the terminal for? [23:35] I WANT PUTTY SO I CAN GETINTO OUTHER THINGS OK [23:35] Serendippo: right but i mean, the cat isnt reading the filesystem, just the raw drive, so that would rule out the other things you tried, since you were suspecting the filesystem (though i dont think thats it) [23:35] jondavis_, its an SSH tool.. so just the the command - ssh [23:35] kermit: okay, thanks for your help [23:35] jondavis_, no caps plz [23:35] then tell me how to set it up [23:35] or i will pm u [23:35] i don't think you're going to get a lot of help with that attidude [23:36] jondavis_, from the client side there really isnt much configuration, and ubuntu comes with SSH server as standard i believe [23:36] can i get into a website [23:36] jondavis_, as for server configurations that is beyond the scope of the chat room, and you are better off seeking a tutorial, i can fetch one if you like? [23:36] or is putty like telnet [23:37] jondavis_, no telnet is a proprienty, insecure protocol [23:37] y is that [23:37] jondavis_, this is more off-topic rather than support [23:38] i am a semi hacker so i need something good [23:38] b3rz3rk3r: proprienty? [23:38] yall need to help me [23:38] jondavis_: a standard ssh session would be similar to a telnet connection, only secured [23:39] okay, so this is spammed into my window when I go into the terminals through ctrl + f2 (forget what they are called.) emask 0x10 sact 0x0 sErr 0x4000000 action oxe frozen. Anyone know what this means, and how to avoid it. It stops me from running "shutdown -r" even. Just spams it in six different sections on my screen.
