That was a wast of my time... it is an ubunto problem and people need to know about it. denying there is a proplem will only hurt more in the long run . [00:30] higher quality audio [00:30] Kalmi: I did a memtest on the new ram and it's perfectly fine [00:30] Ikonia, the first step is admitting there is a problem. [00:30] How do i close X? [00:30] coreyman: that's fake raid, I'd advise not using the raid function on it, and use linux based software raid [00:30] I don't need anythign fancy, windows media player was plenty on that OS, just something that I can get rid of the flat sound that the ubuntu player has [00:30] TheNewGuy: the problem is known and logged and not what you've said [00:30] how can I remove added url for streaming in mplayer [00:31] Tamnakz: amarok, mplayer [00:31] TheNewGuy: it's very rare so announcing it to the channel add's no value [00:31] OH REALLY, what is the problem then?

[00:32] dasei, the movie player has horrible sound. Rythmbox is marginally better, but the program is horrily set up [00:32] sorry about my english by the way [00:32] gl is better than xv , right? gl is more like directx and better thus, right? [00:33] i'm not english or american :P [00:33] Tamnakz: rhythmbox shouldn't sound bad, sure the problem isn't sth else ? [00:33] Kalmi: thanks for the help, I'm going to get back to work, have things to do, but I'll be posting on the ubuntu forums later to see if anyone out there has the slightest clue cause I have no idea why this would happen!

[00:34] Tamnakz: vlc is very tiny, with no fancy att all, but no bad sound, give this a try, often it is bad cabeling or audio driver [00:34] hello everyone, is this the right place to ask a question relating wireless issues on jaunty ? :D [00:34] yes it is obscure, but it does happen and I think people should know about it. because when it happens some individuals in this room get very obnoxious defending ubuntu, claiming it is a windows problem. [00:34] it's not bad . . . I was just curious if there was something more user friendly? a bare bones basic player that'll let me make a playlist, but also let me run a decent equalizer. I haden't played around much with the program [00:34] any of you try to install anydvd on ubuntu? [00:34] Tamnakz: Audacious might be what you are looking for...

[00:34] !chuck [00:34] Sorry, I don't know anything about chuck [00:35] !ubottu [00:35] TheNewGuy: it is partly a windows problem in how the driver/firmware works, as I said it is known about, but announcing it to a room full of users as a generic thing is pointless [00:35] Hi!

[00:35] I've got vlc, and the audio is decent, ,but it doesn't have an equalizer, I have to have a digital equalizer to counteract the differences from using a U ccable going to RCA's to a stereo [00:35] ikonia ok thanks [00:35] spO: anydvd is a windows program [00:35] nope [00:35] Kalmi: Audacious? [00:35] i did not use anydvd [00:35] Tamnakz: vlc DOES have an equalizer [00:35] Tamnakz: equalizer is still a lack, especially as standalone on ubuntu, amarok has one, I never needed them, as my pheripherials (amp/headamp) offer this [00:35] Ikonia I was not announcing it to the users, i was announcing it to those offering assistance. [00:36] Tamnakz... google it... [00:36] TheNewGuy: no you where not - hence why you warned the channel "be careful installing dual boot" [00:36] little question ... if i don't have Virtual Machine and i have on computer windows XP and i have a CD that on it have Ubuntu 9.0.iso can change my computer to ubuntu ?

[00:37] ikonia what is the name of that software raid thing? mdam or something like that [00:37] phaidonx: first glance is your fstab uses uuid, which changed , so they won't fit no more [00:37] Is there a plugin for Compiz that, if turned off, would disable my ability to switch between workspaces? I've looked through them but I haven't figured out how to turn it back on.

Nic cards are cheap, I would have replaced sooner if i was given correct information. [00:37] Pmratpoison: Shiat! I never thought to look there, I've used VLC for years, even on my Windows pc!!! SOOOO much better! [00:37] MaGicMaX, cache? [00:37] coreyman: mdadm - thts it [00:37] Um_cara_qualquer: ok run whoami, if root do it without the sudo otherwise run su enter in your password then run the command again without sudo [00:37] little question ... if i don't have Virtual Machine and i have on computer windows XP and i have a CD that on it have Ubuntu 9.0.iso can change my computer to ubuntu ? [00:37] TheNewGuy: it's not useful - it's a known bug that's not fixed [00:37] I also have WinXP on another partition and I tried booting from that but when I try to it shows the splash screen (barely) and freezes again [00:37] ikonia thx [00:37] Kalmi: huh? [00:37] what would be a good NIC card ? [00:38] that is compliant with kubuntu ? [00:38] TheNewGuy: it effects very few users so announcing it just makes people think it is a big deal [00:38] DasEi: how do I fix that then? [00:38] sy1 ///// google using ...... filetype:mp3 or flac or whatever [00:38] Kalmi: please elaborate :) [00:38] !hcl > sy1 [00:38] sy1, please see my private message [00:38] ok [00:38] Question: Is it possible to get a free SSL cert for an email/web server that shows as valid in web browsers? [00:38] phaidonx: have you got a live cd ? [00:38] ubottu [00:38] ubottu [00:38] ubottu [00:38] sy1: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:38] little question ... if i don't have Virtual Machine and i have on computer windows XP and i have a CD that on it have Ubuntu 9.0.iso can change my computer to ubuntu ? [00:38] err. now even booting from the liveCD doesnt seem to work anymore!! [00:38] douglask: no - you need a 3rd party to sign it [00:38] Hello! jaunty eeepc 1000 user with the array kernel. I am encountering problems with apt. sudo apt-cache check result here http://pastebin.com/m79a817de and sources.list here http://pastebin.com/m37165dbe [00:38] I am trying again ... [00:38] douglask: you can use self signed though [00:38] Kalmi: oh srry, 0 chached [00:38] Ikonia, it is useful, the next time someone comes into the room with the same problem what are you going to do? tell them its a windows problem, (which it is not) or tell them there is a conflict that the nic card. Get another one for 10 bucks. [00:39] GL ie more like directx than XV , right? it is also newer and better? [00:39] what would be a good NIC card ? [00:39] TheNewGuy: tell them exactly what I told you [00:39] Kalmi: cached* [00:39] how can i make my cmus mp3 player the default player ? [00:39] what would be a good NIC card ? [00:39] MaGicMaX, unlikely... [00:39] sy1: dlink would be a nice option [00:39] how about netgear ? [00:39] ikonia, you told me two things. [00:39] ikonia: I figured, but I figured I'd ask as well. Ah well. Not gonna spend the dough just now, so self signed it is. [00:39] How do I do a recovery on an ext3-file system? During boot, that's what it said to do. There's no resume image, so it goes straight to CLI, but then after a few seconds, the screen goes black. If I go into recovery mode, I have some options, and the screen stays on. 9.04, P6NGM-FD MB, C2D E6850 up from C2D E4600. [00:39] DasEi: I am trying to boot from the live cd but I just get a blinking cursor ... [00:39] TheNewGuy: I'll repeat - it's not useful as pretty much no-one suffers from it and just causes un-needed questions and confusion when you make generic statments like "dual booting causes your network card problems" [00:39] Ikonia first that it was a windows issue and second that there is a conflic. [00:39] Kalmi: my bad, had -g option on heh, its 576mb [00:39] I think the compliance is important [00:40] sy1: should work but google for it ......just in case [00:40] TheNewGuy: no - installing windows was a windows issue, which is what I initially thought you where trying to do [00:40] Warning : you got space on the xp hd and want to add ubuntu ? [00:40] TheNewGuy: I think explained that there is an incompatability with a small set of cards/firmware model [00:40] ikonia you can repeat as many times as you would like, the bottom line is that IF someone has the problem, as few of them as there will be, they need the correct information. [00:40] ikonia how come disc detect is giving me scsi2 but not scsi1 .... my 150gb disc is on the first port and thats the one i need to use. [00:41] phaidonx: you are on a second computer now ? [00:41] Um_cara_qualquer: are you there? [00:41] TheNewGuy: I told you the correct information and as you are giving miss-leading information it adds no value, so please think about what you announce to the channel [00:41] Kalmi: is there anything i can do about it? [00:41] DasEi: yes. why isnt it even able to boot from the livecd ? [00:41] DasEi : i still have about 50 GB free space on my computer [00:41] coreyman: scsi2 where ? [00:41] coreyman: could you expand on what you mean please ? [00:41] ikonia well im using the minimal install disc... and its giving me a list of disks to select to partition [00:42] coreyman: never seen disks references like that, the name shouldn't matter though [00:42] phaidonx: no idea, sure cd and drive is in order ? special hardware ? kinda machine ? [00:42] coreyman: libata detects ide as scsi now, so scsi1 could be your cdrom === \\ is now known as DaZ [00:42] coreyman: (just thinking outloud) [00:42] DasEi: it's a lenovo T60 ... it worked fine before I used gparted to repartition things.. [00:42] Irishmanluke, not found... again =/ [00:42] sorry, I just had a funny DNS issue. did anyone respond to the /dev/input/mouseX question? [00:42] ikonia well it isn't showing my 150GB disc either way [00:42] DasEi: I thought the liveCD wouldnt care about the HD anyway? [00:42] Ikonia, this is the kind of bug that hurts linux, I will continue to post so that other know what the real issue is. [00:43] MaGicMaX, well... firefox's memory usage can be reduced a lot... if you want that google it [00:43] coreyman: I wonder if that card is even supported, have you checked [00:43] MaGicMaX, having cache is perfectly normal [00:43] Warning: you can use xp to shrink your xp-parti , so you have ~ 50gb unallocated, then install ubuntu on it, before backup mbr, in case getting problems [00:43] Um_cara_qualquer: whoami not found?? [00:43] yes [00:43] TheNewGuy: no - you'll stop now PLEASE - it's miss-leading people. This is not an ubuntu issue, it's an issue between the linux kernel in general and specific rare cards [00:43] with and without sudo [00:43] Ikonia, thanks for keeping the conversation going. I can only hope that someone else saw it, and can provide the correct information in the future. [00:43] Kalmi: so its normal to be using all of my ram with just 3 to 4 apps open? [00:43] phaidonx: it shouldn't care about hd, is why I ask for cd (dirt?!) or bad drive [00:43] ikonia i didn't know there was a set of specific supported hardwares [00:44] TheNewGuy: great, so please drop it [00:44] any of you installed ripit4me or anydvd on ubuntu? [00:44] coreyman: ooh yes, not all hardware is supported [00:44] but how to run the ISO file on win xp ? [00:44] coreyman: lots of nasty closed source driver hardware stuff is not supported [00:44] !hcl > coreyman [00:44] coreyman, please see my private message [00:44] Ikonia, LOL you sound like an obama groupie!! LOL, don't tell me the truth, just tell me a good story. [00:44] coreyman: ubottu's message so give you a rough idea [00:44] Um_cara_qualquer: alright hold on a sec [00:44] MaGicMaX, um... no... :P How much is firefox using of your ram [00:44] !politics [00:44] Please take political discussion to ##politics. Thank you! [00:44] does intel mainboard and mainboard processor support in kubuntu ? [00:44] Tamnakz: drop it please. [00:44] ok [00:44] does intel mainboard and mainboard processor support in kubuntu ? [00:44] sy1: should be [00:45] DasEi: I doubt it, like I said, it was fine booting from the livecd 10 minutes ago... I just tried making it do a 'disk check' and again I just get a blinking cursor and no messages! [00:45] Tamnakz: sorry - not you [00:45] GEV915 [00:45] ikonia yea it'll work if i switch the two drives on the card, i just didn't want to open my case again. [00:45] intel 915GEV [00:45] TheNewGuy But she's right [00:45] Kalmi: FF is using 230mb [00:45] Um_cara_qualquer: ok run /usr/bin/whoami [00:45] can anyone explain why it seems to be impossible to get anything from "cat /dev/input/mice" on ubuntu? It works in debian, gentoo, and SLES10 so far. [00:45] phaidonx: clean the cd, sure it boots from cd (bios) , not just a grub-hang ? [00:46] any one here using intel mainboard with Kubuntu [00:46] Um_cara_qualquer: no need to use sudo for that [00:46] humm [00:46] TheNewGuy What you said was incorrect [00:46] ok [00:46] MaGicMaX, than what is using all your RAM if it's not fx? [00:46] Kalmi: looking at my processes, their memory usage doesnt even come close to 1Gig i dont understand [00:46] phaidonx: yes, it's from the CD. I get the first ubuntu menu telling me whether I want to try ubuntu, install it, etc. [00:46] litster1: have you tried sudo? [00:46] Kalmi: i have no idea [00:47] yes [00:47] any one here using intel mainboard with Kubuntu [00:47] MaGicMaX, it's about 512Mb, right? [00:47] litster1: well...it works for me [00:47] sy1, i do [00:47] I am running in a root shell [00:47] are you using jaunty? [00:47] Kalmi: ya [00:47] Hey, my name is Greg. I'm anewbie, I've just installed Ubuntu 9.04, and can not open firefox [00:47] greg__: what happens when you try [00:48] litster1: yes. The command 'sudo cat /dev/input/mice' just sits there til I move the mouse [00:48] the strange thing is, I also tried it on a fresh laptop install, with the same results [00:48] MaGicMaX, the other half is being used as cache... it's all fine... [00:48] when i click on firefox icon there i've got a sign that the program is loading, but it desappear in few moments [00:48] and it's all [00:48] then it spits out raw binary data? [00:48] Kalmi: i killed a couple games that crashed earlier, maybe there the culprits, maybe ill restart? [00:48] litster1: I have to assume that is what it is...it sure isn't ascii [00:48] greg__: open a terminal (do you know how to do that ?) and type firefox in it, and press enter [00:48] MaGicMaX, no... it all fits [00:48] Warning: need more advice ? [00:48] greg__: do you get any helpful info [00:48] Kalmi: its normal? [00:49] litster1: are you in a terminal window or have you switched to a tty? [00:49] "Segmentation fault" [00:49] any one here using intel mainboard with Kubuntu [00:49] Kalmi: im using 2.8GB or 3.2GB [00:49] Irishmanluke, not found X_X [00:49] it's the answear [00:49] th0r what is a tty? [00:49] sorry [00:49] sy1: why ? [00:49] DasEi: yes, it's from the CD. I get the first ubuntu menu telling me whether I want to try ubuntu, install it, etc. [00:49] Kalmi: of* [00:49] Do I have to download any drivers ? [00:49] greg__: most common cause would be bad ram or overclocking cpu [00:49] sy1: no - most intel kit is fully supported [00:49] will the drivers cause any issues ? [00:49] greg__ is your machine updated? [00:49] coreyman: you can open a terminal, or switch to a tty with Alt-Ctl-F2 through -F6 [00:49] sy1: I sent you a list of compatible hardware, have you read it [00:50] bizarre. Another symptom is that when I run "sudo cat /dev/hidraw6" I get binary back. [00:50] i've just make update [00:50] sy1: if it works with ubuntu it will work with kubuntu, xubuntu, server .. in fact probably most all linux variants. [00:50] phaidonx: real strange, and you say you could run live before ? [00:50] th0r yea what's the difference. [00:50] where ? Ikonia ? [00:50] !hcl > sy1 [00:50] sy1, please see my private message [00:50] greg__, rebooted after it ? [00:50] so everything is up to date, i've never overlocking my pc [00:50] MaGicMaX, how much RAM do you have? how much of that is being used as cache?:q [00:50] coreyman: you won't get the mouse driver in a tty for one thing [00:50] ok [00:50] DasEi: yep, that's how I was able to run gparted to resize the partitions ... [00:50] DasEi : i have the Image .iso file i can RUN it on windows xp without Virtual Machine ? [00:50] greg__, or at least log out and log back in [00:50] i've made both several times... [00:50] about 520mb is cached, i have 4GB in my system but 3.2GB is shown to be available [00:50] greg__, that is bad news then [00:51] Um_cara_qualquer: I have no clue what about the command su will that run? [00:51] greg__: if you've done updates, it may be wise to reboot, more so if it's an update to the xserver [00:51] Kalmi: about 520mb is cached, i have 4GB in my system but 3.2GB is shown to be available [00:51] ok here's the deal [00:51] MaGicMaX, is your ubuntu install 32 bit? [00:51] and it's weird, i've got 4GB of ram and 64bit ubuntu, ant it's said that I have only 3,8 GB of ram, is it ok? [00:51] well th0r i was wondering, cause when I don't install a gui doesn't it say tty1 ? [00:51] Warning: No, you can either use virtualization, wubi (which I don't recommend) or a dualboot of xp and ubuntu [00:51] What file would contain the actual commands a mouse button generates? [00:51] Irishmanluke, not even that =/ [00:51] Kalmi: yes, i was worried about my programs working on 64bit, plus driver issues [00:51] I have friend who using the intel 915gev with 250gb harddisk with cpu 2.8 and also windows is not working with this item [00:51] coreyman: yes...if you don't have an X environment running you can also use tty1 [00:52] not found either [00:52] greg_: to start you can install another brower [00:52] greg__, use another browser in the meantime is the fast workaround, alternatively, you could try downloading firefox from the mozilla site (as a tar.gz file) extract that , and run the 'firefox' inside that [00:52] sy1: that is nothing to do with ubuntu [00:52] there is a network card called asound [00:52] greg_: to make sure your internet is working properly i would install opera [00:52] greg__, yes, it is pci memory space [00:52] if I install kubuntu in i just concern with the drivers [00:52] greg__, linux reports real avail ram [00:52] i know, but have no idea how to install another browser using only terminal :P [00:52] MaGicMaX, 32 bit OSes can't see more than ~3.2 Gb RAM... [00:52] coreyman: the desktop for tty1 is F7, and I believe you can start a desktop on tty2 and get it on F8 and tty3/F9 and so on [00:52] lostinspace, do you mean the "commands" being spit out from the kernel to X? [00:52] sy1: I've sent you the list of compatible hardware [00:52] greg__, use the add/remove [00:52] sy1: I've told you intel hardware is mostly compatible [00:52] greg_: either from add/remove programs or with the following command sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install opera [00:52] ok [00:53] greg__, Applications -> Add/Remove -> Internet [00:53] th0r so you can have multiple desktops at any given time [00:53] Kalmi: im aware of that, i have 2x2GB sticks installed [00:53] Heyo all. [00:53] Just a quick questin [00:53] Warning: there is virtualbox, which you can use for free in private to create a vm [00:53] if the memory is not a compatible to the mainboard ? [00:53] coreyman: I believe I passed a url the other day that said something about how to do that...but was pressed for time and didn't stop to read it [00:53] How is the experience when you run Ubuntu on a Macbook pro? [00:53] sy1: that's nothing to do with ubuntu [00:54] what kind of havoc will it cause to ubuntu ? [00:54] ChaoticXSinZ1: very positive [00:54] sy1: it won't work with any os [00:54] th0r ahh. no biggie [00:54] windows have blue screen [00:54] Um_cara_qualquer: I really don't know whatto tellyou, can you try aptitude install coreutils [00:54] sy1: nothing to do with ubuntu [00:54] but ubuntu ? [00:54] DasEi: so any ideas why the liveCD is not booting? should I yank out the HD or something? or just give it longer? 'cos right now it's just sitting there with a blinking cursor and no noise... btw, when grub comes up I can actually change things in there (like the UUID, but obviously I dont know what the new UUID is !) [00:54] will it hang and crash very often [00:54] however... you could get around that limitation if your hardware supports PAE... see: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/ubuntu-linux-4gb-ram-limitation-solution/ [00:54] sy1: nothing to do with ubuntu - please contact your hardware vendor to get the correct hardware [00:54] iknoia: So do things like multitouch and backlit lights work? [00:54] and also the operation will be slow ? [00:54] DasEi : yes i know im using it right now [00:54] sy1: we can't support you [00:54] phaidonx: so hard to come by problem, for now I can only tell you what to do, you have to find a way to acces the hd again [00:55] MaGicMaX, however... you could get around that limitation if your hardware supports PAE... see: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/ubuntu-linux-4gb-ram-limitation-solution/ [00:55] thanks for the test, th0r [00:55] ChaoticXSinZ1: yes, as I recall, backlit on some models required a bit of messing [00:55] ChaoticXSinZ1: worked fine for me though [00:55] speaking blue screens, does ubnuntu have a blue screen of death similar thing? i doubt i do [00:55] ok ikonia [00:55] Thanks [00:55] Dayofswords: no [00:55] i doubt it does [00:55] thought so [00:56] but the Virtual Box when i full Screen it it show me too small [00:56] ikonia: What about the multitouch. I remember reading somewhere that it would need X-Input 2 or something like that. [00:56] <_saber> Hey guys, I've accidentally removed network manager and now i'm got no net on it. How would I be able to reinstall it from the CD? [00:56] Kalmi: thanks, checking now [00:56] ChaoticXSinZ1: ahhh mine isn't the latest macbook pro so I don't know [00:56] tkank you all, now i'll try ro reinstall it [00:56] MaGicMaX, my suggestion is that you read this: http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/2770 [00:56] greg__, hold [00:56] ChaoticXSinZ1: read positive things, but that doesn't mean fact [00:56] !dualboot | Warning [00:56] Warning: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [00:56] Kalmi: how do i check if im PAE compatible?

[01:00] Thanks all [01:00] MaGicMaX, only the server kernel is PAE enabled [01:00] for your help [01:00] with the ubuntu [01:00] bye bye [01:00] phaidonx: I have no clue on that behaviour, is it a sata ?

I seem to remember a setting that would cause the problem you describe, but I can't for the life of me remember where it's located, and it takes about 5 hours for me checking each and every one of the settings. And some of them crash my computer, so ask the experts. [02:08] OttifantSir: Alright, thanks a lot.

Just remembered, it stopped, actually skipped, Stage 5 of checking on /dev/sda2. [02:11] help campcaster!

[02:32] di||itante: I'm at school. It's not my router to configure [02:33] marcelo_: I have a IDT 92HD75B3X5 and it's not here http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Vendor-Intel does that mean alsa doesn't have support for my chipset? [02:33] need_help: want to change or repair it ? [02:33] Mka: I can't get to CLI without using root shell from recovery mode [02:33] is initramfs suppose to use "ipconfig" instead of "ifconfig" ? [02:33] edbian__: tried it, but no change. I'm looking for something like "driver=" in the configuration line [02:33] DasEi change [02:33] Mka: So yes, I did.

[02:33] DasEi : its done thx you :) [02:34] OttifantSir: try getting the live cd [02:34] checkit__: Yeah I know. You might want to look at "lspci -k" as well to figure out what driver you're using. modprobe inserts modules (which is linux speak for installs drivers) [02:34] need_help: that won't work, as you reformat it, got to save somewhere [02:34] how can this be?: ls: cannot access /var/run/mpd/pid: No such file or directory [02:34] DasEi debug2fs then for what it use ?

[02:35] hello people [02:35] lukasoft, You told me you made it work? So it is supported for sure, at most you may have to install some proprietary drivers, that may be easily done with System->Administration-> Hardware Drivers [02:36] Mka: No problem. Got about five of them lying around somewhere in all this mess. Give me a few hours to look for one of them. Plus I have three other computers, so it really shouldn't be a problem. And what should I do when running the live CD? Anything besides fsck ? Like options? [02:36] edbian_: uncomment the prepend line in /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf add your nameserver and sudo dhclient eth0 or whatever your network device is called [02:36] lukasoft, But I do not think this is necessary. [02:36] marcelo_: sorry, I've found the page, but it says something about the kernel and whatnot. I don't understand any ofit http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Module-hda-intel [02:37] can someone send me everything in there var/run/mpd folder [02:37] <[TOP]kangu> quick question! [02:37] [TOP]kangu: Fire away [02:37] need_help: the filesystem will not chenge (ext), but you can check or alter it's existance, for ext3 it's fsck /e2fsck, you won't change to another fs with that [02:37] bucky: Will I have to "sudo dhclient " everytime my system restarts? [02:37] <[TOP]kangu> anyone know how to update my sound drivers for some reason i have no sound [02:37] is where any body know, what key I nedd give to apt, for it will not ask if I sure want to install somethink? [02:37] a* [02:37] sweet! i got my HDMI sound working [02:37] lukasoft: look thru all your menus under Applications and Sytem preferences and turn the volume up on the icon in the upper right corner and run alsamixer and turn up the volume and pcm [02:37] <[TOP]kangu> im new to ubuntu just installed it yesterday [02:38] im installing now kismet when i finish i will [02:38] lukasoft, Did you try to work out system->Preferences->Sound? [02:39] edbian_: no just the first time to make the changes take effect... as long as you have the auto eth0 and iface eth0 inet dhcp lines in /etc/network/interfaces [02:39] edbian_: *dhcp* [02:39] OttifantSir: try fsck -f -v -y -r . If this doesn't repair it, you probably have a more involved problem. You may look through the man pages for "debugfs" and "badblocks" but be careful [02:39] marcelo_: When it worked the first time, it 'worked' on autodetect. [02:39] I want to tar a directory but _not_ the symlinks within it. How can this be done? [02:40] is initramfs suppose to use "ipconfig" instead of "ifconfig" ? [02:40] bucky: I do :) Thanks for the help! :) I supposed a restart would have the same effect as sudo dhclient eth0 then? [02:40] edbian_: sure.. but why [02:40] bucky: Just tyring to understand what the command does [02:40] * sinsun Free Chinese Class is still welcome Linux users and friends. Join #sinsun-says [02:41] Mka: Thanks for the help. About to look for one of the live CDs or the USB-disk I created. Will be back to tell how it worked out? [02:41] I'm trying to play a DVD and the sound is choppy to the point that it's unbearable. Any ideas on what I could fiddle with? [02:41] edbian_: it's the same executable that gets called on reboot if you have dhcpcd enable for your specific network interface [02:42] bucky: That's what I figured. And it's working BTW! Thank you! :) [02:42] DasEi they say if fsck didn't work out i can use fsck -yb to specify the superblock! from where i can get out superblock ? [02:42] ? for anyone I am use Ubuntu 9.04. I have a Intel GM 950 Graphic chip. I was wondering if the a way to get urban terror &/or UT 2004 for running with playable frame rates? Have look all over the net and try different xorg.conf setting now seem to work [02:43] marcelo_: in sound preferences [02:43] need_help: who are they ? so it occurs you want to repair your fs, not change it; I'd suggest you use e2fsck from a live on the unmounted hd first;; can you still access the drive /partiton now ? [02:44] edbian_: i guess we both learned something :) [02:44] ctmjr: ! Excellent! :) [02:44] I have an ATI remote wonder [02:45] during my mythbuntu install, it would control the mouse just fine [02:45] now that mythbuntu is installed, it doesn't work [02:45] andresmh: Are you running Totem?

I was under the impression, though, that one of the advantages of VLC was that it came with all those plugins and whatnot by default [02:47] minderaser: i agree. I think it does for the most part.

[02:52] coreyman: type eject or sudo eject [02:52] bucky thx [02:52] lstarnes: If I understand you correctly, you're saying that is how to include the files that are symlinked, which is exactly what I do _not_ want. i.e. I want to make a tar file without the symlinked files [02:52] someone managed to get dropbear work with cryptsetup? [02:53] bucky didnt work [02:53] minderaser: do you still want the symlinks, or do you want them gone as well? [02:53] Jesus. This is pretty annoying... [02:53] coreyman: then it's mounted and you have to unmount the drive first [02:53] . [02:53] sudo umount /path/to/drive [02:54] lstarnes: I do NOT want them.

[02:55] Gelegrodan: Don't accuse people of hacking. He's obviously testing the security of his own network [02:55] Johnneylee: oh, ofc. [02:56] lstarnes: I'm wondering though, that since when I made the symlinks (they're directories, by the way) I used absolute rather than relative path names, and I'm thinking that the reason I can still get to the files from the untar'd tar file is that it's following the absolute path name to where the files actually are [02:56] someone managed to get dropbear work with cryptsetup? [02:56] bucky: Yes it is [02:56] lstarnes: does that make sense? [02:56] minderaser: it might [02:56] bucky it tells me it isn't mounted [02:56] Johnneylee: you might google. about that i think i saw somewhere that grub2 don't like ext4 [02:56] coreyman: what's your probelm?

(system-> preferances -> appearance -> customize) [03:00] merma: for a home user, yeah that's normal [03:00] swapy: buddy. go to system then preferences then appearance. [03:00] Beardbar: what's the putty command [03:00] Johnneylee: yep, although im still connected via putty on the original default port 22. when i restarted ssh it didnt kick me but if I exit the putty session and try to reconnect i am unable to.

I uninstalled fglrx and amdcccle but now I still cannot use my Dell monitor. What should I try? [03:02] Beardbar: what's telling putty to use the non standard port number? [03:03] Gelegrodan : that hack work on TP Link ? [03:03] bucky: the port box with putty you get to inputs in a form, hostname/ip and port number then hit open. i use it fine to connect to other servers where the ssh port has been changed. [03:03] Warning: what hack? [03:03] bucky i dont see it listed anywhere [03:03] http://i32.tinypic.com/j9n6dd.png [03:03] have a look at this [03:03] are there any default firewalls isntalled with ubuntu server edition that I may have overlooked?

[03:06] lstarnes: What it appears to me to be doing is that it will tar the symlink but _not_ the actual file that it refers to. If you're using an absolute path and are on the same system, when you go untar the file and go into the symlinked directory it will find the file because it's following the absolute path [03:06] Beardbar: Do you know how to check your private conversations? [03:06] bucky if i shut it down and start back up, drive will be accessible again, the moment a program accesses the drive i can't get the cd out [03:06] oh was that a sheep joke, sorry :( [03:06] DigitalKiwi: you said no jokes [03:07] it was only a virtual joke!

[03:08] sorry [03:08] bucky lol [03:08] coreyman: you can use the to-ram function to be able to use a different cd.

Except that the issue is so prevalent that #xorg won't even take questions about it anymore [03:47] well all im trying to do is send mail out [03:47] Elcrapocrew: i'mnot sure what the EDID settings have to do w/ aything, have you tried setting the resolution in nvidia settings? [03:47] and not receive any in [03:48] <[TOP]kangu> for some reason my sound driver or my sound i have no sound ... maybe a driver update? [03:48] Lostinspace_46: Thats is a bummer! [03:48] Lostinspace_46: is there any way to force Xorg to use the conf file? [03:49] Elcrapocrew: IndyGunFreak gave good advice. [03:49] LOL @ readerrors [03:49] [TOP]kangu, did this happen suddenly? [03:49] Elcapocrew: Yea. RTFM it tells you what switch to use to specify a config for Xorg [03:49] Elcrapocrew: so the option you want, isnt in nvidia settings? [03:49] Elcrapocrew: did you run nvidia-xconfig [03:50] IndyGunFreak: yeah the resolution i need is not listed, but I know the monitor supports it because i use it on my win 7 all the time [03:50] as I get this information from the proc? , the time when the system was last booted. [03:50] bucky: yip, the option I need is not listed [03:51] Johnneylee: how do i go about setting the switch you refer to?? [03:51] anyone here know how to recover from a segfault while dpkg is processing its triggers? (ldconfig is segfaulting and it's the libc6 package in question) it'd be nice if i could forgo the trigger and reinstall libc6 via apt, but apt won't work because dpkg is in a bad state.... anyone?... [03:52] Elcrapocrew: which option was that? [03:52] help me please [03:52] as I get this information from the proc? , the time when the system was last booted. [03:52] bucky: Johnneylee said: Yea. RTFM it tells you what switch to use to specify a config for Xorg [03:52] for what reason woudl amarok not play my mp3s [03:53] hi, [03:53] Ademan_kitchen, killing the dpkg process? [03:53] @all: what it the meaning of RTFM?? [03:53] Elcrapocrew: its full meaning is obscene and can't be repeated here [03:53] Read The Freaking Man Page? [03:54] Elcrapocrew: but it essentially means "read the _ manual" [03:54] who can help me? about the *.PDF [03:54] lstarnes: thank you [03:54] I can't open it. [03:54] marcelo_: what do you mean? dpkg isn't still running, it's just that when apt tries to run dpkg it fails, apt outputs "E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem."

[04:03] tony123: And then, one more step, to avoid some minor problems there are a couple of sendmail packages you want [04:04] @abb: I had them working at one point, but I seem to have messed with something I should not have and now I am just trying to figure out how I had it set up under Ibex [04:04] to remove. [04:04] MeRodent, chmod [04:04] marcelo_, thanks. [04:04] MeRodent: or just plain ls [04:04] MeRodent: ls -l that is [04:04] I don't recall what they are, but "aptitude search sendmail | grep ^i" will find them. if you don't remove them, you'll get a message from cron every twenty minutes about sendmail-mdf not existing, or something like that. [04:04] After accidentally making myself the owner of all files, how can I restore root as owner of everything except /home? [04:04] arand, that's what I was looking for. [04:05] I'm trying to install grub... and sudo grub-install /dev/sda tells me could not find device for /boot not found or not a block device.

[04:05] br34l, werent you able to download them? [04:05] dvpdiner2: root should not be the owner of everything outside of home. That will break stuff left and right. [04:05] donaldo: i do not uderstand what you are looking for you mean cat /proc/uptime? [04:05] arand, I had the default files installed of those, and I've now elected to install the rest [04:05] dvpdiner2: (It should own a lot of stuff outside of /home, but not all.) [04:06] MeRodent, Sorry I missread and thought you wanted to change permissions. [04:06] and arand, I still cannot lzm2dir [04:06] marcelo_: i only get 8,2Kb and the .avi is like 194Mb [04:06] Reinstalling is the easiest solution then? (/home is on its own partition, so no data loss) [04:06] br34l, And br finishes ? [04:06] @abb: I'm not certain.

(if perhaps ubuntu consumes more graphics resources) or is it a general hardware problem for all OS's?

[04:12] kfan, You should answer here so that other people can help too [04:13] entropy: And no way to unzip it just using p7zip? This is lzma compression we're talking right? [04:13] yes, arand. [04:14] if I needed to decompress [file].lzm to /, what would be the command for p7zip?

This may or may not affect your install, but do you really want to take the chance? [04:51] ok guys.. i see your point [04:51] detrix: you need to register with nickserv (you would have got instructions when you connected to the server) [04:51] my problem is gone [04:51] as hard as it seems... i will (*gulp*) do it for the sake of a clean install... thanks for the advise =(..

I'm not sure why it is happening, the screenlet i have that gives me a bunch of info shows 'hal-system-smbi-root' appearing once in a while under the top ten programs using the most cpu, then it dissappears and reappears later, it usually says it is using between 50-75% CPU, then it disappears and reappears etc [04:52] detrix: most irc clients will allow you to auto-identify when you connect (xchat does for one) [04:52] kitty_ : i you guys mean that o.0 [04:52] thougt* [04:52] what do you think about the Full circle?

[04:57] Johnneylee: Broadcom 4318 [04:57] a94060: wireless? [04:57] ah, well do you have 2 computers that you can use at once, cause that really makes it easier to install on one and use the internet for help from the other [04:58] gives me no wireless extentions [04:58] yes [04:58] Johnneylee: yes [04:58] kitty_ : nope, i only has one pc.. [04:58] Cray1: I just got through this myself. Want a bit of help? [04:58] Cray1: that means driver isnt installed [04:58] merma: i toss 4+gb files bout the lan all day long. and never notice any slowing down. So to each their own i guess. [04:58] okay where is good place to get driver? [04:58] have you ever booted linux on your computer yet? [04:58] actually, maybe if someone can tell me what hal-system-smbi-root is... [04:59] Hello, how can I map the caps lock to super key? [04:59] Dr_Willis: im transfering 21gb from an ext3 partition to a ext4 partition [04:59] merma: i do that sort of theing al day long also.. No real problems. [04:59] Johnneylee: you planning on helping him? [04:59] kitty_ : if you are asking me > i am chatting from within ubuntu usb now.. [05:00] sorry,im not sure if you are him or her,no offense,didnt mean to judge [05:00] Johnlee i can use some help [05:00] merma: would be nicer if the OS 'queued' up the muti files a little better. I drag 10gb over.. then find another 10gb.. so i gotr to rember to wait for the first 10gb to get done.. or the disk thrashes about a lot. [05:00] lol i r he [05:00] is ther any problems with your ubuntu install on that usb drive? [05:00] Dr_Willis: any idea why this happens? my 1minute load is > 6 [05:01] Cray1: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=25683 [05:01] merma: no idea. How are you even montiring that info? [05:01] kitty_ : no problem.. but the defect check saying "2 errors" is kinda scaring me [05:02] through conky's load [05:02] it's > 10 now :0 [05:02] I got conky going with my custome script.. dont even have it showing 'load' [05:02] thats the same as tops load? or what. [05:02] i'm not sure about that "defect check" since i'm not running the same thing as you, but if it works, i'd ignore it or get ahold of the people that made your specific pendrive distribution [05:03] if my cpu usage bursts through the roof, and i already closed all of the applications to the best of my ability, what should I do? As of now, i've been just shutting down my computer and booting it back up [05:03] it is [05:03] htop shows me load averate 6.73 3.65 1.70 [05:03] whatever those mean in real terms ive no idea. :) [05:03] kitty_: Maybe he should use the pen drive as a installer to install ubuntu to his pc. [05:03] is there anyway to use ares on ubuntu? [05:03] detrix: you have to have your nick registered on freenode to have voice on many channels here... /msg NickServ HELP and register your nick [05:03] kitty_ : specific pendrive distribution? the linux or the pendrive? [05:03] Mumei: the linux. [05:04] the people that packaged ubuntu into the pendrive installer [05:04] merma: aha. :) my G15 kyboard lcd also has a 'load avg of 11.20 5.73 2.35' :) never noticed that info in the cpu gage on the lcd befor [05:04] automan070192: Umm for what purposes? [05:04] music [05:04] Dr_Willis: it shows the 1 minute load avg, the 5 minute avrg and the 15 minute avrg ... if you have 2 cores you're "normal" load should be < 2 [05:04] strictley music [05:04] Johnneylee & kitty_ : oh that... idk them LOL [05:04] merma: load avg of 13.68 7.0 3.14 now.. - i am making a ISO-flash drive.. and i dont notice the system being slow at this time [05:05] how many cores do you have Dr_Willis ? [05:05] Dual core AMD somthing or another. [05:05] Formating somefilesystems and making a persstnt save on a flash drive right now. [05:05] automan070192: Anything wrong with torrenting? [05:05] automan070192: maybe try wine? [05:05] Load is dropping it seems... [05:05] well we don't have control or knowledge of everyone's madness when it comes to installation methods, if you wanted to follow the ubuntu instructions on installing to a flashdrive/usbstick then i'd know where you stood :P === detrix is now known as detrix42 [05:06] but as i said, if its working fine, i'd just ignore the errors and continue from where you are [05:06] it's not very healthy to have that load [05:06] merma: prove that statement? I am doing a lot of stuff in the background. [05:06] kitty_: You're pretty spot on. [05:06] kitty_ & Johnneylee : well guys ill reinstall it from INSIDE the cd this time... (no script installer from websites) and ill get back to you guys if it succeeds.. [05:06] load doen to 3.66 now. and dropping [05:06] Sounds great mumei [05:06] Dr_Willis: well as long as it's not affecting you it's ok i guess [05:06] kitty_ & Johnneylee : ciao [05:07] merma: i closed Htop and load dropped down to 2.24 :) [05:07] kitty_: some people :P [05:07] Dr_Willis: keep your cpu cool [05:07] bucky: i got so many fans on it.. its scary :) [05:07] hahah [05:07] which do you think would be fastest and easiest [05:07] antec P900 case = one BIG box of fans. [05:08] Dr_Willis: very nice [05:08] automan070192: I'd just torrent the music. If you need a demonoid invite, I can give you one. [05:08] bucky: very loud also. I got most of them turned off. [05:08] Johnneylee, automan070192 take this chat elsewhere please [05:08] automan070192: Also, I use thepiratebay [05:08] df reports 293Mb free, you think i'd beable to download a 277M file, noooo *stabs* [05:09] bazhang: thanks.

[05:09] merma: not even sure where/how to do that on this box.. [05:10] pschorf: how did you install the font? === Joseph is now known as poseidon [05:10] bazhang: question about that then, why didn't you ding him when he asked about the same sort of thing? Ares is a p2p... [05:10] load avg down to .47 now :) [05:10] bucky, i coped it into /usr/share/fonts/truetype/custom, and then ran fc-cache -fv [05:10] sorry for disrupting your guys chat [05:10] my load avg dropped completely after the transfer finished [05:11] anyone familiar with bitpim ? [05:11] Hey I can't mount my usb any one can help [05:11] bucky, it shows up with fc-list [05:11] Hi! Is there any other MIDI player other than KMid? [05:12] dragonfist: no, that is the only one in the open source community :p [05:12] disappearedng, unplug said usb, wait 10 seconds, re-insert, then from a terminal type in "dmesg | tail" and see what it says [05:12] johnneylee : really? [05:12] is there an alternate wifi manager? [05:12] dragonfist: I was kidding, hence the :p [05:12] wifi-radar [05:13] gnomenklayture, wicd [05:13] is there another? [05:13] thats it [05:13] thanks :) [05:13] there are alot more but thats the one i use [05:13] kitty_ usb-storage: device found at 31 [05:13] kitty_ usb-storage: waiting for device to settle before scanning [05:14] pastebinit [05:14] I used the mini 9.04 cd to install ubuntu, but when I started Ubuntu all I can access is the command line, how do I [05:14] pschorf: did you restart X ? [05:14] *how do I access the window interface [05:14] #ubuntu-se [05:14] Woops. [05:14] finish a sentence, you keep typing till you're done :P [05:14] i couldent remeber it heheh [05:14] bucky, i restarted in frustration :P [05:14] alastair-e, install ubuntu-desktop ? [05:14] HIIIIIIIIII [05:14] alastair-e: tell the channel what youmean by 'mini 9.04 cd' ? [05:15] Dr_Willis: Looking for the actual name. The iso was called mini.iso [05:15] alastair-e: sounds like you installed some minimal-cli only ubuntu then. [05:15] alastair-e, the minimal cd iso? [05:15] alastair-e, depending on the packages you installed you may not have installed the "window" interface (X), try "apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" [05:15] pschorf: and you did run fc-cache -fv as sudo ? [05:15] and see if it tells you you have to download 900GB of crap or not [05:15] alastair-e: you may want to go get the normal 'desktop' cd and install from that [05:16] bucky, yes [05:16] kitty_ http://paste.pocoo.org/show/135635/ [05:16] Dr_Willis: Can't burn it. That's why I resorted to the mini cd. It downloads and installs over the internet. [05:16] pschorf: does ls -l /usr/share/fonts/truetype/custom list them all and show them as being root root ? [05:17] bucky, yes [05:17] alastair-e: What is it you're trying to do? [05:17] The Minimal CD, that's what it's called. [05:17] what is the terminal command that lets me get gpg keys for sources? [05:17] Johnneylee: Install 9.04. [05:17] bucky, the permissions are 644 [05:17] pschorf: and -rw-r--r-- [05:17] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD This is what I'm using.

[05:18] bucky, yes [05:18] disappearedng, http://paste.pocoo.org/show/135636/ <- that is what mine looks like when i plug in a device, if you wait long enough, it'll show you the actual device name [05:19] pschorf: they do have a .ttf extension and not a .TTF extension right [05:20] bucky, they were TTF [05:20] bucky, should i rename them and restart X? [05:21] alastair-e, is this on a second computer that you're installing ubuntu on so you can talk to us from here? [05:21] when sending mail from a provider to my user account, i get afew hours delay before the mail arrives; what can i do to cure that o: [05:21] Call them? [05:21] alastair-e, when it boots and drops you to a command line, does it say something about "busy box" ? [05:21] pschorf: for i in fonts/*.ttf fonts/*.TTF; do cp "$i" .fonts; done and do the sudo fc-cache -fv again and restart X [05:21] how can i make update manager stop complaining about gpg keys? [05:21] pschorf: change the path or cd into the dir [05:22] D3RGPS31, if your mail server (on your user account) doesn't have an MX record they might delay it in attempts to slow down spam [05:22] bbl [05:22] bucky, thanks, will be back [05:22] Kitty_ thank you o: [05:23] how do i install dsc files? === spOO` is now known as spO [05:23] you need to convert it first sp0 [05:23] oh my god [05:24] Let me research it [05:24] * Dr_Willis wonders what a dsc file even is.

[05:28] alastair-e: if its installed.. 'startx' [05:29] alastair-e: startx [05:29] Dr_Willis: you can still use it to communicate over a serial cable i guess [05:29] alastair-e: if you did a minimal install.. you got a few 100+mb of downloads to do first [05:29] alastair-e: or gdm [05:29] bucky, no dice with the rename [05:29] bucky: thats what i last did with it ages ago [05:29] is it possible to shrink a lvm ?

[05:31] do i have to open a new terminal for each download i do with wget? seems like [05:31] Dr_Willis: can you use that to a cisco router or .. there's another app for that [05:31] br34l: makes it easier to monitor them that way... you could do 'wget whatever &' i guess [05:32] Dr_Willis. hmm ok [05:33] Hello all? [05:33] br34l: I think you can specify multiple files to download. Do you want to download them all at once? or in a queue?? [05:33] Ooops [05:33] br34l, why don't you put them on the background? [05:33] putting wget in the background with & doesn't work too well - it continues to spew progress reports on your terminal [05:34] How do you modify your IRC Name and stuff in irssi?

[05:35] Other than doing it manually ofcourse [05:35] hello, anyone using ubuntu as a server? Sorry upfront for the newbie question! [05:35] how can i unlock a users folder to copy a file to it? === jr3r is now known as zaxe [05:35] br34l, your best option might be to put all the files you want to download into FILE, then run "wget -q -i FILE &" - that should tell wget to silently fetch all the urls in FILE [05:35] rhlin: the desktop edition can work as a 'server' also. :) so you may want to clarify the question. [05:35] gletob: you may also want to check /set and /help set [05:36] any speaks indonesian [05:36] !id [05:36] join ke #ubuntu-id untuk membahas ubuntu dalam bahasa Indonesia [05:36] thaks ubbottu [05:36] Dr_Willis: I want to setup a server (file) to access from anywhere, like clients houses, etc. [05:37] rhlin: thers dozens of ways to do that. [05:37] anyone have their wireless cut out with jaunty with an intel pro/wireless 4965 ?? [05:37] rhlin: simple way. set up ssh, and use ssh to get the files you need. [05:38] god this is a huge PITA is there a way to automate this key fetching madness? [05:38] Dr_Willis: sorry you lost me at setup ssh...I am new to linux. Will it setup as a file server where I have to login to access? [05:39] rhlin: yes.. You may want to go read up on it. [05:39] !ssh | rhlin [05:39] rhlin: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for client usage. Putty is an SSH client for Windows; see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for it's homepage. See also !scp (Secure CoPy) and !sshd (Secure SHell Daemon) [05:39] I'm on linux mint. when I add ppa's, what do I use as my distro? intrepid or karmic? [05:39] lakotajames: this channel only supports ubuntu, not mint [05:40] rhlin: ssh is one of the 'top 10' cool/amazing tools :) that everyone shoule learn about [05:40] I'm doing a cifs mount to an ntfs drive and I keep getting mkdir: cannot create directory `marla-pc': Permission denied [05:40] I have checked permissions, and this folder exists in /media/ ?? [05:40] lakotajames: depends on what one the MINT version is based on. good luck [05:40] this is through fstab using mount -a [05:40] ok, thanks anyway. [05:40] Dr_Willis: I hope to learn it. I really like this Ubuntu. :) === Core is now known as Guest375 [05:41] rhlin: ssh is more then a 'ubuntu' tool. :) its used by many other os's and systems [05:41] ubottu: thanks for the links. [05:41] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [05:42] Dr_Willis: so any OS pc will be able to access ssh? whether is it xp, vista, win2k, etc. even macs? [05:42] rhlin: if it has a ssh client. yes. [05:42] rhlin: program called putty [05:43] what package contains arch? [05:43] You can ssh into a ssh server from some cell phones. :) [05:43] rhlin: ssh allows you to do alot in regards to administration - port forwarding. x forwarding [05:43] rhlin, if you just want file access (and not access to the terminal), winSCP may be a good choice for a windows client; it's smaller and more specialized to just file transfers than putty [05:43] * tyler_d1 is currently installing midpssh onto his blackberry [05:44] without installing software on every pc, can I log on to my ubuntu box at home that contains files? The simpliest way to log on? [05:45] rhlin: I know how. [05:45] rhlin: depends on what you wan tto do.. there are some web based ssh clients you can setup === Shinobi is now known as Guest72437 [05:45] rhlin: get a flash drive and get putty. [05:45] rhlin: then theres the varioyus 'portable apps' you can run on a windows box form a flash drive [05:45] rhlin: you may want to investigate a java ssh program, then accessable over the interweb [05:45] rhlin: also webmin might be your answer. [05:45] rhlin: or alternately a program like orb [05:46] anyone know how to do karen language input on 8.04? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karen_language [05:46] rhlin: totally depends on exactly what tasks you want to do to the box. [05:46] something like "over the internet" connection to back up or retrieve files from the pc that I am on at the time. [05:47] rhlin, would that not need a publuc ip on your PC? [05:47] Sounds like you want a website with ftp upload/download [05:48] rhlin: ssh can get files back and forth easially enough. or some of the varios web/ftp methods [05:48] Like this http://www.wikiupload.com [05:48] Only yours. [05:48] hi pantyhsoe lovers [05:48] Hey! [05:49] woman talk me [05:49] guest375: I am not sure. [05:49] a troll kick [05:49] Pupuser402-2: cut that out [05:50] if I shared out the public folder and put the files into that folder could that work as a file server? [05:50] not that secure though is it? [05:50] No. [05:50] Pupuser402-2, take that elsewhere [05:50] anyone? myanmar fonts?

[05:53] language-support-my a_user should have them [05:53] bazhang, Karen scipt [05:53] script [05:54] language-support-fonts-my a_user this also [05:54] simran: I think you removed Windows List from the panel. Right-click on the panel and add it. [05:55] hey folks. what is the general consensus on switching jaunty to ext4 filesystem? stability/speed really there? I have seen some reviews on places like phoronix. but i dont want to buggar up my system... [05:55] maxxist, do you have issues with it, or just wish to chat [05:56] maxxist: worked ok for me, but some have reported lockups while deleting files. jaunty's kernel, last i heard, didnt have all the patches 2.6.30 has to make it fully stable [05:56] bazhang, no issues. I just want to know if its worth the update [05:56] maco so i should wait till 10.04? [05:56] maxxist: If ext4 does not exist in first place, you would not use it. It's all about choices. ext3 is stable but if you want to experiment and try new things. It's your call. :) [05:56] maxxist: or 9.10... [05:56] uhh, no [05:57] i will wait i think. i have lots of data i dont wanna lose. [05:57] thanx for the info guys [05:57] what will the new 9.10 theme look like?

[05:58] maco yeah i got a little ahead of myself with 10.04 hehe. [05:58] dan: yes [05:58] dan, free support :) [05:58] leaf-sheep thanks [05:58] yay! thanks [05:58] i dnt know how that happened [05:58] !flash64 [05:58] You can run Flash, Real, and Java plugins in AMD64 bit computers with Firefox. see the steps to follow at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxAMD64FlashJava [05:58] simran: No problem. :) [05:59] alright, i need to partition my harddrive so it is NTFS...what is a program for that? i keep getting gparted but i ran out of cd's and thumbdrives... [05:59] directions provided by !flash64 don't seem to work [05:59] dan: How do you run out of thumbdrives? You reuse the same thing. :P [05:59] dan: to partition your hard drive it has to be unmounted, therefore you have to run gparted from a livecd or liveusb to preform partitioning operations on your hard drive [06:00] leaf-sheep: well i left it at my dorm :( [06:00] ziroday: i know on windows it was possible and easy...so its not on ubuntu :o === Rolcol is now known as Rolcol_dunce [06:01] what the bloody I thought I installed 64 bit seems to be 32 bit [06:01] dan: I'm not sure what you're doing on windows, but partitioning a mounted drive (especially a drive you're working on) is a really bad idea, its similar to performing open heart surgery on yourself [06:01] is Ubuntu 9.04 64-bit compatible? will it recognize 4gigs of ram? [06:01] ziroday: i need to install windows but i cant because it has to be partitioned as a NTFS... [06:01] rhlin: Yes. [06:01] rhlin: if you download the 64 bit version, yes [06:02] dan: sure, then create a livecd or liveusb with gparted on and create an ntfs or blank partition for it. [06:02] rhlin: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/ubuntu-linux-4gb-ram-limitation-solution/ [06:02] ziroday: so i HAVE to use a livecd?...dag [06:03] thanks for the info, everyone that helped me. [06:03] dan: correct, your drive *has* to be umounted to partition and format it [06:03] dan: It's the common protocol. That's why we keep a LiveCD disc after installation (if we used LiveCD method). [06:03] ziroday: well thanks anyways :( [06:04] Where is the origin of the coordinate system of X? [06:05] hey, anyone in Michigan... [06:05] just wondered. [06:05] drive -> partioned -> format to make a filesystem on the parttiion... [06:05] rhlin: you're likely to find some in your states loco channel [06:05] bullgard4: top left is 0,0 [06:06] bullgard4: the special cord -1, normally means as far right or down, as one can get. [06:06] dan: you can just delete a partition/filesystem and let windows see/partiion/format the filesystem as ntfs during the install [06:06] is there a local channel? [06:07] Dr_Willis: he knows that, he wants to do that whilst the drive is still mounted [06:07] rhlin: #ubuntu-us-mi (?) [06:07] Dr_Willis: What is a "cord" in a coordinate system (in English)? [06:07] (0,0) x/y cordornants [06:07] dr_willis: no. i am installing windows 7. it just says that it cant recognize the file system and gives me no options... [06:07] bullgard4: by cord, ze means coordinate [06:08] Hello [06:08] actually the X org Coords are a bit confused compared to Normal Geomtery :) 0,0 = top left, y goes DOWN. [06:09] X goes to the right. [06:09] gent: Hi! [06:11] can someone tell me how i can test the sendmail? [06:11] ziroday: you scared him off.. [06:11] hello anyone alive in here [06:11] 1222 people in here. [06:11] now whos alive.. is debateable [06:12] Dr_Willis, this is a right-handed co-ordinate system, which is quite normal in mathematics. But why have the Xorg designers choosen the top left as the origin and not the bottom left? [06:12] . [06:12] bullgard4: thats how computers have handled it for YEARS its not the xorg designers that decided. [06:12] bullgard4: thats the usual origin for images, i think. at least, its how things are measured in photo editors and websites [06:12] bullgard4: you start printing at the top right. and work your way over. [06:12] then down... [06:12] oops top left. :) [06:13] Makes more sence then the way math handles it. :) [06:13] Dr_Willis, maco Thank you very much for explaining. [06:13] * Dr_Willis waits for the 1K=1024 vs 1000 fight to start [06:14] ok heres where things stand im running mint 6... im trying to use a build script for a module to get my webcam working... but i have to unpack the kernel source from a debian package... using dpkg --unpack (deb source file) tells me that /usr is broken... i dont want to recompile my kernel just unpack it so i can run this build script can someone please help me with that [06:14] I'm having trouble with Steam in Wine. [06:14] Bernini: we don't support mint here, sorry. [06:14] Bernini, seek support for mint in mint channels thanks [06:14] Wiseman: #winehq is probably the place to ask, but what's not working? [06:14] !mintsupport > Bernini [06:14] Bernini, please see my private message [06:14] Wiseman: steam works here.. but its flakey [06:14] msg nickserv identify a1s2d3f4 [06:14] ....as usual. major video glitches, and X server crashes when I close the game [06:15] Wiseman: and im just talking about the CLIENT. not any specific games. :) [06:15] HighLordObsi: you will want to change your nickserv password now [06:15] crap [06:15] Wiseman: check the wine app database for the specifc game. not just 'steam' [06:15] Wiseman: are you running with compiz on? [06:15] bazhang thats fine... just help me with unpacking this source code... thats all i need anyway [06:15] i hate my keyboard :( [06:15] No, all effects are off, ziroday [06:15] dr.willis: half Life 2 is supposed to work fine [06:16] Wiseman: 'supposed' to and 'does' are 2 different things. [06:16] hi guys i need help with setting up an IRCserver can anyone help pls? [06:16] Wiseman: World Of Warcraft is supposed to also.. but i see people in here every week with issues [06:16] saroth: install irc server.. read its docs.. run it ? care to clarify the issue? [06:17] I really feel they hand out those "platinum" rating like halloween candy. [06:17] all i really need help with is unpacking this debian file of my kernel source... no recompile [06:17] Wiseman: i find HL2/Source engine is alot more stable and better supportted in wine 1.1.27 [06:17] Wiseman: they don't, have you looked at the howto's on the appdb page? [06:17] Dr_Willis: How have you produced (keyed in) the line "Dr_Willis waits for the 1K=1024 vs 1000 fight to start"? Chatzilla reproduces 'Dr_Willis' in italics and 'waits for the 1K=1024 vs 1000 fight to start' in blue'. [06:17] Wiseman: have you run the game in the terminal and can you give us any debugging output? [06:17] gartral: I have 1.1.27 [06:18] well i installed unrealircd and configured the ircd.conf file [06:18] Wiseman: what kind of CPU you have? [06:18] but am am sure am doing something wrong [06:18] AMD turion 64 [06:18] with ati radeon 2400HD mobile [06:18] Wiseman: ouch... [06:18] lol [06:19] saroth, have you asked in #unrealircd [06:19] Wiseman: OK.. what's the exact problem? just wont play? [06:19] ah yes, i should doing it now [06:19] It plays [06:20] but major video glitches [06:20] * Dr_Willis wonders what bullgard4 it talking about. :P [06:20] and when I close the game it crashes X === Rolcol_dunce is now known as Rolcol [06:20] Wiseman: ati cards are often not the best for WINE. sadly [06:20] nite all, thanks again for the help. [06:20] I keep hearing that dr_ [06:20] Dr_Willis [06:20] Wiseman: also the version of wine an be a big factor. [06:21] Wiseman: aparently after .24 there were some issues in .25 from what ihear [06:21] I get no sound when playing mp3s stored locally while firefox is open (i.e youtube), and vice versa no sound in youtube when I have mp3s playing. what's going on here? how do I fix this?

It seems I can't even ping it or anything else on my local network and I think I have everything setup correctly but I am sure its something stupid and simple [06:49] schismbot: if you can't ping it you can't connect [06:49] schismbot: so it's maybe a network problem [06:49] no one knows about raid6 in software mode on ubuntu? [06:49] schismbot: check the iptables and the network cables and interfaces [06:49] bucky: negative. [06:50] pyrohotdog: is this some weird wireless thing? [06:50] bucky: It is a wireless connection, but from the machine I can ssh into anything else on the network, and reach the internet. [06:51] isnt ubuntu is an os for average customers? [06:51] anyone ever use the arp utility? [06:51] i mean those who buy a notebook with ubundtu pre-installed [06:51] *ubuntu [06:52] diktal: yes [06:52] i installed skype...no idea how to use it? [06:52] diktal: average you mean, office customers [06:52] any docs?? [06:52] office customers? [06:52] gst: man skype [06:52] diktal: cause if you handle with TEENS they will try to install tons of windows based stuff [06:53] lateralus01: i have, type arp in a term and see what it says [06:53] lateralus01: and that will be a problem since linux haven't all the junkie software they have in Windows-like [06:53] diktal: It's not for everyone yet. It's really a os for someone who wants more. [06:53] Johnneylee: clean and clear [06:53] nooneelse: what does that mean, friend? [06:53] based on what i've heard arp is a utility for finding a logical address from a physical one (IP from mac address) [06:54] lateralus01: type arp in a term and see what it says [06:54] but i can't figure out how to use it [06:54] i have [06:54] Johnneylee: means that your explanation was "clean" and "clear"(direct) [06:54] except gaming [06:54] lateralus01: 192.168.254.254 ether 00:0B:23:8D:D1:98 C eth0 [06:54] bucky: yea that's your arp table [06:55] Won't Ubuntu play .mov files in-browser? [06:55] lateralus01: that says that the IP addy 192.168.254.254 is bound to my hardware addy (MAC ADDY) 00:0B:23:8D:D1:98 on network device eth0 [06:55] but i know routers communicate with each other through arp requests and thats how they update their routing tables [06:55] that's how they determine mac addresses from IP's which is necessary for routing [06:56] lateralus01: Incorrect. [06:56] lateralus01: man arp [06:56] lateralus01: They communicate via routing protocols such as OSPF, BGP, or RIP. [06:56] KB1JWQ: ? [06:56] Unless they route statically. [06:56] Open shortest path first [06:56] yes [06:56] ding! we have a winner [06:57] (And the (e)IGRP nonsense if you're Cisco centric. [06:57] i'm just trying to figure out how i can find a the IP of an adapter on my network if i know its mac address [06:57] its in my router's routing table so how do i ask my router for it? [06:57] i thought arp or rarp could do that === Core is now known as Guest64698 [06:59] Any other ideas why this machine is not responding to pings? It's a freshing install of Jaunty. [07:00] pyrohotdog: Few reasons. [07:00] iptables could be blocking icmp echo requests. [07:00] You could have the wrong IP. [07:00] pyrohotdog: see if you can nmap the host [07:01] nmap: Hosts seems to be down... [07:01] try -PN option [07:01] lateralus01: Yeah, on the same segment an arp request works. [07:01] Layer 2 address don't go to different networks, so you're out of luck. [07:01] lateralus01: nmap can also tell you. :) [07:02] i figured nmap could but i was wondering if there was an easy way to retrieve it from the router without scanning the whole damn network [07:02] I ve been researching for about grub past days and i ve been unsucessuflly working on this problem which that I cannot boot into linux nor windows. What the heck has gone wrong??? Help!?! PLEASE! I have all the links and had read and worked on it with no avail [07:03] eh [07:03] apoleo12, got your partitions right? [07:03] lateralus: I have THREE Harddrives with all of its partitions [07:03] testing [07:04] want me to map it out for you?? [07:04] gnitset [07:04] RTTVAR has grown to over 2.3 seconds, decreasing to 2.0 [07:04] johnneylee, i got problems, if you are still there [07:05] Hello. Is there an easy way to map PrintScreen key to Insert? === Excid is now known as Guest38539 [07:05] dinexi: why? [07:05] dinexi: whats wrong with the middle mouse? [07:05] lateralus: Im not sure how you assume how I sounded but yes it seemed have it all right but I dont know anyway. [07:06] Dr_Willis: i failed [07:06] therefore i am [07:06] I dont know what I have it wrong or whatever [07:06] tyler_d1: macs dont have enough buttons for that or an insert key ;) [07:06] Perhaps if I could swtich to the radeonHD driver I'd be in business. [07:07] maco: all you need is 2 butons... press them both together [07:07] tyler_d1: though if you ever see a mac user wanting to shift+insert: fn+enter+insert [07:07] Johnneylee: MS ent. desktop 7000 provides no Insert key :) [07:07] i wish i could save project files in dvdrebuilder under wine [07:07] tyler_d1: macs only have 1 button, silly [07:07] I tried editing xorg.conf and under "device" I put driver "radeonhd" and the computer refused to start. [07:07] whoa.... [07:07] maco: doh [07:07] cray1: stop disappearing. [07:08] Johnneylee: really it has one, but it can be used only with Fn key, which is not visible in xev [07:08] because every time I make changes into live CD to access what I need to make changes and reboot to test it out but it reboots when it touches this on the bottom of the screen: "Grub loading stage 1.5" [07:08] then reboots [07:08] I'm thinking you need a new keyboard? [07:09] dinexi: Get a windows keyboard. I have a unix one I'm using now. [07:10] maco: what about http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=79560 [07:11] tyler_d1: like i said, you *can* do the equiv of shift insert...the key's just not labeled "insert". fn+return = insert, it seems since fn+return+shift = shift+insert when using ubuntu on a macbook [07:11] tyler_d1: someone was asking yesterday and stumbled across that [07:11] anyone know how to add a folder to the 'File Browser' app? under places? [07:12] Johnneylee: This keyboard is fine excepts the Insert key. As vim fan, I can't live without it :) [07:12] maco: the link provided would allow you to custom bind them??? [07:12] I'm trying to add a mounted NFS share under there like Documents and Music are there. [07:12] quentusrex_: open a file browser window and drag n drop the folder to the left side bar [07:12] Wiseman: Im luck to rember my own name... what was the issue? [07:12] qyentes [07:12] dinexi: er...you dont use "i" to insert in vim? [07:12] 'i' = insert in vi. yes [07:12] how do i need to add any skype users?? [07:12] Dr_Willis: I couldn't get steam to work, someone reccomended switching to the radeonhd driver. [07:13] So I did. [07:13] well, i downloaded it [07:13] any one of u using it right now? [07:13] and I edited xorg.conf to say Driver "radeonhd" [07:13] HA i got it [07:13] tyler_d1: yeah looks like you can bind new shortcuts with that, but im saying its not necessary because an [unlabeled] key exists. this is just for future reference in case someone else asks again [07:13] * Chemical_Weapon está away; sleeping - site[n/a] email[none@none] uin[none] log[on] pager[off] -=[Cyber]=- [07:13] Wiseman: you mean you coudlent get a game to work in WINE via steam... [07:13] precisely, Dr_Willis [07:13] sudo nmap -sP 192.168.2.0/24 | grep aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff [07:13] maco: No, I wish to use "i" as well as regular insert. Because in the different layouts i may move, and Insert may not. :) [07:13] !away > Chemical_Weapon [07:13] Chemical_Weapon, please see my private message [07:13] that'll do [07:14] gst: learn better english? [07:14] sure.. [07:14] maco: alternately you could try and find it in gconf-editor [07:14] Johnneylee :D [07:14] tyler_d1: im not asking for help... [07:14] gst: how can I help you? say it clearly [07:14] maco: oh... so you sorted it.... [07:14] do any of you use skype right now? [07:14] Johnneylee: uh i think he pretty clearly said he wants to know how to add contacts in skype [07:15] gst yes [07:15] he wants to add skype users [07:15] tyler_d1: no... i didnt have a question to begin with [07:15] i installed it and need to check how it works... [07:15] nmap results only found an open vnc port... [07:15] What am I doing WRONG????? [07:15] i do not know any id to add as a se user..kyp [07:15] maco: I think you speak his language better than I do [07:15] so......now what [07:15] *skype user [07:16] tyler_d1: someone asked how to do insert and you said to use the mouse...and i pointed out that isn't gonna work on all hardware but hey here's a workaround for the most problematic keyboard/mouse combo ever: macbook [07:16] maco: lol... sorry, somehow you got mixed in there... [07:16] gst: can't you just click the plus in the lower left of the application? [07:16] celthunder: looking forward to add any other user [07:16] Dr_Willis: I googled and nobody seems to indicate I did anything wrong in the xorg.conf file... [07:16] Johnneylee: i think he also wants someone to do a test call with [07:17] hmm. skype GUI here has a little button with a man and a + sign to 'add users' [07:17] hi everybody [07:17] gst: There should be a echo test user or something [07:17] gst: Are you saying you want users to Skype with? lol [07:17] Wiseman: all bets are off for ati drivers.. I dont touch them any more. [07:17] maco: I think that he needs to learn a bit more, there is a test user for that purpose. [07:17] Dr_Willis: well....I would ditch it and upgrade to an nvidia [07:17] but it's a laptop [07:18] Wiseman: What card? [07:18] well...I could just reinstall windows....you know, windows just works [07:18] ATI Radeon 2400HD xt [07:18] Wiseman: also ati has dropped many cards from their fglrx drivers.. so getting good 3d in those cards may be very hard for some time. [07:18] Fancy. [07:18] Wiseman: I'm so angry now... Grah! [07:18] so am I [07:19] in regards of grub [07:19] yay I got one [07:19] so what....ati is just screwed? [07:19] Wiseman: one what? [07:19] I LOSE! I GET....NOTHING [07:19] johnny_boy: i trole u [07:19] ati...you never win with that *scnr* [07:20] from a base directory/root directory is there a way to go into 11+ different subdirectories and copy all their files into the root/base directory.. .... an easy way to do this? [07:20] Wiseman: Oh god I be trole'd [07:20] I for one never plan on buying an ati card again.. in the forseble future [07:20] sp0: yes, you write a long command or a script. [07:20] spO: same filenames? [07:20] or use a 2 pane file manager.... 11 dirs. not too hard. [07:21] tyl, no [07:21] dr_willis: the tips and advices you've told me were good if i had the grub working but i dont know why it isnt.... [07:21] ugh.... [07:21] apoleo12: Grub is just the kidn of thing you got to learn/play witn and experiment with. [07:21] why am I doomed to a life of windows and linux together...WHY MUST I BE THE DAYWALKER HALF-BREED WHO TREADS IN BOTH WORLDS [07:21] Wiseman: I are troled by you, I must go punch babies now. [07:22] for i in $(find / -name <>(s)) ; do cp $i / [07:22] I would test that but I need an example first spO [07:22] i tried using skype..i am getting problem with audio playback?

[07:24] find $source -type f -exec cp \{\} $dest/ \; [07:24] dr_willis: which I have for the past 3 days... I've commented out a couple lines in menu.lst safely right?

[07:26] i type that at the command line, right? [07:26] yes [07:26] spO: why are you copying everything to the root? [07:27] 01:20 < spO> from a base directory/root directory is there a way to go into 11+ different subdirectories and copy all their files into the root/base directory.. .... an easy way to do this? [07:27] gst: if you get no sound output from skype, but you get audio from other apps that means your skype installation is misconfigured.. any other case youre stuck on a driver issue as well [07:27] that is what that command i pasted does [07:27] it is not necesarily root, it is jsut a directory that is at the base of the subdirectories [07:27] gst: don't need to debug, just play around with things for an hour before coming here. [07:28] spO: then use DigitalKiwi's code... find $source -type f -exec cp \{\} $dest/ \; === br34l_ is now known as br34l [07:28] digitalkiwi, yeah but i don't understand that [07:28] why do you need \{\} $dest/ \; [07:28] to make it work right? [07:28] Lol [07:29] what language is that ? [07:29] bash [07:29] "why do i need wheels on car?" [07:29] spO: -exec executes the given command uptil \; for all the items found. \{\} adds the find result to the execution statement [07:29] apoleo12: tell the channel the current problem you are having I guess. and see what turns up.

[07:32] no [07:32] for just 11 dirs.. ya could of done it by hand allready [07:32] well where is source and dest defined? [07:32] Lol @ Dr_Willis [07:32] ditto [07:33] change $source to whatever the parent directory is you want everthing out of and $dest to the destination directory you want [07:33] {\} is defined by $source , but where is $dest/ defined [07:33] okay [07:33] * Chemical_Weapon está away; sleeping - desde[03:13:12] site[n/a] email[none@none] uin[none] log[on] pager[off] -=[Cyber]=- [07:33] or just make an alias called 'moveup' that takes a dir name.. cds to the dir does that mv command. :) [07:33] i edited a sources.list file that i believe ruined my chances for updating ubuntu properly? I tried grep sources but it is taking a long time, is this the right way to find it? [07:33] whats a good gui based file browser i could use over ssh X11? [07:33] woodwing: what do you need? a new sources list? [07:34] woodwing: you need to find easyrpm on the interweb [07:34] Caplain: pcmanfm [07:34] !away > Chemical_Weapon [07:34] Chemical_Weapon, please see my private message [07:34] Caplain: use sshfs and whatever file browser you want [07:34] i have a backup of the sources list wherever the folder is that has the list in it, i just forget where it's located. [07:34] woodwing: will allow you to re-create, or alternately back out the changes :D [07:35] DigitalKiwi, okies, thanks [07:35] thanks tyler [07:35] pcmanfm is nice [07:35] woodwing: np... and the command would then be sudo find / -name "*sources.list*" [07:36] digitalkiwi, thank you, i understand it now..... besides bash langauge, you also used find program command language too, right? [07:36] same language [07:36] bourne again shell = bash === b14ck_ is now known as b14ck [07:37] it is the same langauge but differently named, right? ie find langauge is the same as bash langauge, but it is named differently, right? [07:37] bash lanauge has more commands proabbyl [07:38] you repeated the first part of your sentence in the last part... Lo [07:38] lol [07:38] spO: no... find is not a language...thats a command or funciton of the bash language [07:38] so find is not programmed in c++ language, it is programmed in bash langeu, huh [07:38] find isn't part of bash :/ [07:39] linux funtion - invoked by bash "typically" [07:39] it's not written in bash either [07:39] Wow. oh my gosh sp0 [07:39] zsh > bash ;D [07:39] find is probably C [07:39] DigitalKiwi: you're write. [07:39] Lol joke. [07:39] unlike your spelling [07:40] :) [07:40] tyler_d1: I was making a joke... [07:40] I smiled ;) [07:40] We were talking of programming.. :0 [07:41] I found on Brother website that there are 2 files: LPR driver and cupswrapper driver . Which one is for ubuntu server 9.04 (32 bit) ? [07:42] kpb: what are you doing? [07:42] Johnneylee: install a new printer [07:42] kpb: Oh I see. if you need help feel free to ask my opinion :p [07:43] hi [07:43] hi [07:43] SpacePigeon, Hey! [07:43] i cannot install libgstfarsight0.10-dev (or ..-0) [07:44] hey [07:44] ! [07:44] prolly need alot more detail to get anything usefull [07:44] and patience [07:45] http://paste.ubuntu.com/257354/ [07:45] tyler_d1, i said the hey answering to Johnneylee [07:46] SpacePigeon: download this lib [07:46] libnice0 [07:46] SpacePigeon: so you have dependency issues and aparently broken packages - what does aptitude say when you fix them? [07:46] i have multiple rar files in one directory, i try rar e *.rar , but it does nto extract anything, it works if i do rar e fullrarname.rar , but not *.rar [07:47] i gues si will use find langauge again [07:47] spO: see exactly what '*.rar' does... by using 'echo *.rar' [07:47] spO: the trick is to rember that the SHELL expands the wildcards befor the program even sees it. [07:48] sp0: you're chockful of issues about multiple files tonigh. [07:48] spO: for i in *.rar; do unrar x $i; done [07:48] spO: now SOME programs can accept '*.rar' and that lets the program see the wildcard. [07:48] Good evening boys [07:48] okay thanks [07:48] unzip '*.zip' does unzip every zip archive.. 'unzip *.zip 'may not work properly [07:49] boohab, that is C language or bash? [07:49] spO: bash [07:49] Thanks again tyler, i need to find a good website to help me understand the way the filesystem is set up [07:50] woodwing: http://refspecs.freestandards.org/LSB_3.1.0/LSB-Core-generic/LSB-Core-generic/execenvfhs.html [07:50] wheres a german chat on here? [07:50] tony123: #ubuntu-de [07:50] There is a great extract shell script that makes use of wildcards and such that automates untarring, unextracting, unzipping, etc of archives by simply using extract It makes use of shell expansion wildcards [07:50] !de [07:50] In den meisten ubuntu-Kanälen wird nur Englisch gesprochen.

[07:50] spO: bash [07:50] :) [07:51] my other problem is that i cannot save dvdrebuilder project files under wine, but i guess there is no way aroudn that, so i have to use that program with windows or backup dvds one at a time [07:51] http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/ someday i will read this [07:51] it gives me this error when trying to save project files: rr:seh:setup_exception_record stack overflow 1324 bytes in thread 0009 eip 7bc3c7de esp 00230e04 stack 0x230000-0x231000-0x330000 [07:52] sp0: what about norton ghost? Do you need a free solution? [07:52] there are dvd backup tools for linux [07:53] johnneylee, dvdrebuilder re-encodes dvd9 dvds to dvd5 by using CCE ... the best quality encoder currently [07:53] sp0 then kindly disregard my comment [07:54] I never even watch 'videos' from disk.. :) put them on the hd.. and thats it.. [07:55] spO: isnt CCE not free? [07:55] Dr_Willis: howdy [07:55] Johnneylee you still here? [07:55] * Dr_Willis wonders at nonfree encoders that encode to normal formats.. :) [07:56] cce is not free, no [07:56] k9copy and dvd95 are pretty good, doubt you can tell the difference between them...props if you can [07:56] DigitalKiwi: Tell us. :o [07:56] I need help getting broadcom wireless working :) [07:56] dr_willis: yes I will be doing this with a possible detailed explanation while i gather info ;) thanks man [07:56] leaf-sheep: tell you what? [07:57] DigitalKiwi: The difference between them. [07:57] I doubt if my 'good eats' videos will look much better with cce, or k9copy :) [07:57] i could notice a major difference between cce encoding/dvdrebuilder and plain old dvdshrink, and i reckon k9copy and dvd95 are similar to dvdshrink [07:57] wie tun tue ich das [07:57] apt-get install gnome-cups-manager <---- cannot find packages.... (Ubuntu 9.04 server). Does anyone know how to fix it? [07:57] cray1:you can just start a private message with me bud. [07:57] leaf-sheep: between end quality, i doubt you can see a difference [07:58] spO: don't like dvdshrink? [07:58] hi there! my Internet connection keeps on dropping. is there a way to set auto redial? [07:58] !find gnome-cups-manager [07:58] dvdshrink is nice but it gives very poor quality video [07:58] Package/file gnome-cups-manager does not exist in jaunty [07:59] !info libgnomecups1.0-1 [07:59] libgnomecups1.0-1 (source: libgnomecups): GNOME library for CUPS interaction. In component main, is optional. Version 0.2.3-3 (jaunty), package size 28 kB, installed size 756 kB [07:59] spO: What's the proposed alternative -- I really didn't know there was one. I use DVDShrink a lot -- maybe b/c its very easy :) [08:00] dvdsrhink is windows blech [08:01] I'm open to any alternative to dvdshrink -- however buying the CCE -- very expensive for me [08:01] bye [08:01] kevdog, dvdrebuilder with CCE is the best quality [08:01] spO: How much did the CCE run you? [08:02] k9copy worked very well when i used it last (used it on probably 50+ dvds) can't remember which version that was [08:02] i am running the trial edition [08:02] spO: Doesn't trial edition have some limitations or time limit? I thought to purchase the CCE it was like $1K [08:03] can the definer of a view be null or no user ? [08:04] so that when the database is imported somewhere else the views work correctly [08:04] kevdog, i don't talk about piracy or support of it [08:04] spO: I'm not talking about piracy -- far from it -- I guess I just asked how much the CCE was going to run? Not sure how that relates to piracy?? [08:05] developers: how hard is it to create a driver for a usb wifi adapter? I know a bit of C, and I'm considering taking on the project myself. [08:05] hi when i start ubuntu in hp laptop my desktop screen occupies only 3/4th of laptop screen [08:05] hi, what is the linux equivalent of dos command: ipconfig /renew [08:05] ectropy: very hard [08:05] ectropy: A lot. You need alot of knowledge of the hardware itself [08:05] ipconfig/ /renew ? Why do you need to do this -- there really isn't an exact equivalent command [08:06] ectropy: fetch the kernel from git and se if there's any driver, (you want it anyway to apply patches on) [08:06] kindly let me know wat to do...kevdog/ectropy [08:06] kevdog, then how do u renew ip in linux? [08:06] in this particular line >> /*!50013 DEFINER=`projects`@`localhost` SQL SECURITY DEFINER */ if the view was created with SQL SECURITY INVOKER then will the view work on another system with different users or where the particular definer is not present ? [08:06] Do you want to renew ip from command line? [08:06] kevdog, yes [08:07] What's the best thing to do when an update install is interrupted? (system froze, was installing hal update) Now system won't boot, stops at a prompt I've never seen.

[08:08] any one know how to dissable man pages in ubuntu? [08:09] kevdog, where are those 5 lines? [08:09] man command simply should not display anything [08:09] kevdog, all i can see is like a book [08:09] rsk, WebcamWonder, madhu: the Linksys WUSB54GC Version 3 has a different chipset than Version 2 and 1. The chip diagram looks similar, but it's not the same, and the latest RT73 drivers don't work. I'm considering patching the RT73 driver. [08:09] Depends on your setup?

Seriously, I haven't even touched it, so I have no clue. But I guess patching might be a lot easier than a brand new driver from scratch [08:11] the machine is perfectly fine and its made for practising unix commands.. [08:11] kev, thanks, itz getting okay if i restart again...shud i change config [08:11] since for the test...they wanted to dissable man pages..

[08:12] apoleo12, you can leave it on, or you can also look up how to put it to ram [08:12] Well it looks like my entire CCE question just fell on deaf ears -- Oh well!

[08:17] Ok [08:17] Jean_Baptiste: why you want to remove man pages from your system? [08:17] please, don't assume that I or anyone else knows what your problem is. and, this is a help channel, so putting a "help?" there is a bit illogical and annoying [08:17] hello === jrges is now known as jorgeous [08:18] is this a help channel? [08:18] jorgeous: are you a human being? [08:18] i am a musician! [08:18] jorgeous, it's supposed to be, but lot of us prefer to hang out. [08:18] i see [08:18] Gnea: to answer your question, no he's not. [08:18] they are busy [08:18] gnea. itz ubuntu 9.04. res 1280x800. dont know wat res it shud be at? i tried others in vain. but wheni restart it settles [08:18] do u wanna listen my music? [08:18] xD [08:19] jorgeous, we're not busy, ask your question... [08:19] !u | jorgeous [08:19] jorgeous: U is the 21st letter of the modern latin alphabet. Neither 'U' or 'Ur' are words in the English language. Nor are 'R', 'Y', 'l8', 'Ne1' or 'Bcuz'. Mangled English is hard for non-native English speakers. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/abbreviations/ for more information. [08:19] Figured it out myself [08:19] jorgeous: please ask in #ubuntu-offtopic [08:19] okis [08:19] Jesus he thinks he's in offtopic [08:19] Gnea: you're on top of it.

[08:25] SpaceGhost, take chat elsewhere [08:25] Gnea, dude really. [08:25] ubuntu studio 9 get freezed after 1 HR, and manual restart is the only possible option, isn there any solution to this problem other then re install? [08:25] madhu_: if you move the mouse around, does it pan around the edges? [08:25] bahzang sorry, I was just complimenting him earlier and then made a joke about how he replied to me. [08:26] Can I extract a linux install disk to a folder for pxe use? [08:26] Jean_Baptiste: possibly, you could try re-routing the way the IRQs are handled with pci=routeirq at boottime [08:26] gnea, no it does not stretch like that with mouse [08:27] anybody help me that I connect with samba using xubuntu [08:27] SpaceGhost: while I appreciate the compliment (thank you), name-calling tends to fall into the 12-year old category around here. While we don't mind minors in here, we try to make sure that they are treated with respect as well, and make sure that they understand what that level of respect entails. [08:28] I need to have a backup script run everytime I boot the machine, after the network has been brought up. I have tried putting the script in /etc/network/if-up.d/, but appearently, this does not work. How do I solve this?

[08:31] Ben64: yes, depending on what you want to accomplish. [08:31] of course [08:31] like maybe each tcp/ip session alternates between 2 connections or something [08:32] Gnea: lets say i have cable internet, and dsl, i want to combine them to form a super ultra mega internet connection [08:32] Ben64: you have just described the concept of "load balancing" [08:32] gnea, yes the unoccupied part of screen is black as u say [08:32] Gnea: uh-huh, but i haven't seen something do that besides specialized dual-wan routers [08:33] Ben64: ubuntu can do it in software [08:34] Ben64: most dual-wan routers use linux to do just that [08:34] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7824444 Ben64 [08:34] Gnea: how :O [08:34] Ben64: see what bazhang has for you [08:34] madhu_: ah, okay... are you able to get a terminal launched? [08:34] SpaceGhost, please keep it in channel (ie dont PM); generally /ignore nick will do it, depending on your client of course [08:35] round robin dns doesn't seem to be what i want [08:35] whatever.

[08:38] now it is not possible to send file from phone 2 pc and both bluetooth is on ,methinks file transfer service is not installed ,which package ? [08:38] podjackel: xf86? [08:38] Hmm.. only time ive see 'xf86_XXXX' is for the definitions of the special media keys [08:38] not a key by itself [08:38] dehqan: what phone? [08:38] ie: 'xf86_play' 'xf86_stop' [08:38] any phone ... [08:38] gnea, how to do it ...nvidia thing [08:38] that's what i'm refering too [08:38] dehqan: but the phone that you are using [08:38] dehqan: you can grab a file on the phone from ubuntu, i've done that before [08:38] but what is xf86? [08:39] haven't really tried sending to the computer from the phone [08:39] there is no just 'xf86' key. :0 so...err.. what are you trying to do? [08:39] no ben64 phone is not in list [08:39] madhu_: what's the output of this command: lspci | grep VGA [08:39] no phone is in list [08:39] just understand these key bindings, ie, Launch Calculator is XF86Calculator [08:39] but says [08:40] dehqan: you need to put your phone into .... whatever mode it is that makes it visible to everyone [08:40] dehqan: i recall that i had to initate 'pairing' from the phone.. then enter the PIN on the pc.. if i tried it from the pc it always failed. [08:40] where can i view boot errors/warnring [08:40] phone is visible [08:40] ben, for bonding, you have to turn off network connection in ubuntu desktop , apt-get remove network-manager ... then you have to also change network naming done by /lib/udev/rules.d/ then you move a file named 75--- something net persist out of there... [08:41] Dr_Willis: I had the same experience, entering the pin on the phone works [08:41] gnea, this is it,,,,00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07) [08:41] spO: sounds complicated :( [08:41] coreyman1: using the dmesg command [08:41] this error while connectig linux to phone "obex://[00:1c:a4:99:b0:3a]" is not a valid location. [08:41] madhu_: okay, that looks like Intel, not nvidia [08:41] maybe I'll just wait on bonding until I get some P3 to be my router [08:41] !intel [08:41] Ubuntu 9.04 has a known regression for some Intel graphics support. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/IntelPerformance and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1130582 for more information. [08:41] unless I can make dd-wrt do bonding [08:42] Dr_willis:I'm just trying to understand these key bindings, ie, Launch Calculator is XF86Calculator [08:42] Ben64: Do you want to network bond or network conection share? [08:42] kevdog: bond [08:42] this error while connecting linux to phone "obex://[00:1c:a4:99:b0:3a]" is not a valid location. [08:43] dehqan: sony ericsson phone? [08:43] Ben64: OK -- seems strange but I guess thats doable -- you need to bond NICS or bond VPN networks [08:43] yes [08:43] gnea, yeah,...wat to do [08:43] dehqan: make sure you pair the pc and phone [08:43] madhu_: read this: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/IntelPerformance and try different things [08:44] Goodmorning everyone [08:44] ben64 it is paired now [08:44] podjackel: basically... but the keys on the keyboard may not match up with what the names of them on the keyboard are. :) [08:45] ben64, it is not complicated , especialy after you know the settings for the first time [08:45] podjackel: theres no real 'standard' :) [08:45] Lovely Saturday morning, nothing like spending it trying to fix Ubuntu :) [08:45] absolutely nothing [08:45] dehqan: what program are you trying to use to connect, and does it understand obex? [08:45] Got a bit of a sticky situation....trying to install Ubuntu on my Desktop [08:45] spO: how does bonding work anyway? does it alternate packets? alternate tcp sessions? based on load? [08:46] boohbah default one [08:46] ben, besides what i said, you do apt-get install ifenslave , then you type ifconfig eth0 down , ifconfig eth1 down, ifenslave bond0 eth0 eth1 [08:46] bt manager [08:46] Why is it that while the current version of Pidgin is 2.6.x, there is nothing in the update manager for an update when I'm currently at 2.5.5? [08:46] Its a cloned live-cd version of my laptop, which means I cant install it from within the live-cd, cause of graphics driver problems [08:46] foundry87: use pidgin ppa to install a new version [08:46] foundry87: because ubuntu dosent update to the latest every time a new version comes out [08:46] does one usually back up her generated ssh key pair? [08:46] gnea, thanks v v much....i will do that [08:46] I've tried sorting it out by reconfiguring and all the little tricks one can try....but alas [08:46] ben, then you also isntallt he two scripts that you find on websites, there are about 4 differe modes, the mode i have alternatives packets from one device to another, you can also set it so one is a backup device and you can also set it up so both are used at the same time , but that requires newer hardware ro something , i have mode 0 [08:47] foundry87: ubuntu only updates versions if there's a security fix usually [08:47] foundry87: Its only been released within the last 48 hours. You need to compile from source or grab the deb from getdeb. Its not been added to the Jaunty repositories and probably will not be. It will show up in Karmic however [08:47] also, does one usually use the same key pair on all the machines one owns? even servers? [08:47] madhu_: if you run into any snags, let us know [08:47] boohbah bluetooth manager [08:47] rsk: I see, why's that? [08:47] foundry87: that's the policy [08:47] spO: cool, thanks for the info [08:47] Okay thanks :) [08:48] When I boot it up, it gives a short list of commands to either install, check the media, run memtest and what else....but I cant type anything, cause my wireless keyboard and mouse havent loaded yet [08:48] There any way I can get around this [08:48] ? [08:48] gnea, sure bye thanks vv much [08:48] Would like to install the distro to my desktop first, before I start to try and fix the graphics driver issue [08:49] this error while connecting linux to phone "obex://[00:1c:a4:99:b0:3a]" is not a valid location. [08:49] linuxson25: Have you tried alternate CD installation method? [08:49] linuxson25: usb keybord? or bluetooth? [08:50] ben , you have to change or move the /var/lib/udev/rules.d file because if you do not it will keep on updating the names of the eth0 and eth1 cards by chanigt hem to eth0_rename or eth3 or something, and it has problems with this because after you use bonding for a first time btoh network cards have the same hardware address or something [08:50] Dr_Willis: USB [08:50] ben, /lib/udev/rules.d updaates /etc/udev/rules.d [08:50] linuxson25: ive had some odd machines that the GRUB menus dident like the USB keyboard. I had to use a PS2 keybord to get past grub [08:50] hm [08:51] linuxson25: theres normally a 'usb legacy' setting in the bios that may or may not make it work better. [08:51] kevdog: Alternate? I can try and install the original Ubuntu JJ first, and then maybe boot it up and then run the cloned version inside the desktop....but its such a long way around [08:51] Why does it find .git-folder? find . \! -name .git [08:51] Dr_Willis: Hmmmm....will need to have a look see then [08:52] linuxson25: No the alternate CD -- which is a non graphical way of installing Ubuntu -- It doesnt have all the pretty pictures but presents with a lot more options such as the ability to dmcrypt [08:53] kevdog: How would I do this? Is it possible to do a non-graphical installation with my clone-version live cd? [08:54] Dr_Willis: The strange this is though.....it picks up my keyboard as soon as the pc posts, and I can enter the BIOS everything....just as soon as it starts reading the disc and gives you the menu...bamn....no keyboard [08:55] I am about to completely redo my hard drive (everything is already backed up) any tips on how I should arrange my partitions for a windows/ubuntu dual boot setup? [08:55] hi, i've got a folder owned by me set to a group, i want anyone in that group to be able to create files (not just write) in that dir. i thought it was the g+s bit but that doesn't seem to work, any help? [08:55] linuxson25: I'm going to play dumb here b/c I don't know what a clone-version live CD is? The alternate CD is different. Here is a list of available downloads: http://ubuntu-mirror.cs.colorado.edu/releases/jaunty/ [08:56] kevdog: Oh...sorry man. I used remastersys to make a backup - "clone" - of my laptop installation. Pretty neat software [08:57] kevdog: Now I am trying to install it on my desktop === zAo^Sleep is now known as zAo^ === zAo^ is now known as zAo^Sleep [08:57] Dr_Willis: Got the USB keyboard issue sorted out. BIOS actually had a easy setup for this. Just enabled USB keyboard and mouse support [08:58] kevdog: I dont generally have a problem with the normal install of Ubuntu on my desktop pc. When I use the "normal" Ubuntu Jaunty disc, it installs without a glitch. [08:59] linuxson25: yep. 'legacy support' - I had one odd box that IF i had that enabled.. windows wouldent work with it.. bit of a bother. [08:59] linuxson25: fixing things like this i think is one of the many reasons for the move to GRUB2 [08:59] kevdog: But anyway, I got it sorted. Just needed to sort out my USB keyboard support. Installing it now :) [09:00] Hi anybody there? [09:00] I have a small question [09:00] Dr_Willis: GRUB2? Hmmmm....how can I get my hands on this? [09:00] one reason i hate that 'pick language' question. :) i think if it dident pop up.. the thing would just default to the first entry [09:00] !ask | dhruvasagar [09:00] dhruvasagar: 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. :-) [09:00] linuxson25: its in teh repos.. and to be default on the net release. [09:00] linuxson25: Thanks for the remastersys info -- I new about creating custom distros however I didnt know this would back up your installation?? cool [09:00] next release [09:01] I wanted to add ubuntustudio packages to my normal ubuntu, I know this is not the right channel, but ubuntustudio is unresponsive [09:01] kevdog: Pleasure [09:01] Dr_Willis: Thanx for the info, and the help. Appreciate [09:01] I dident realize Ubuntu Studio had their own repos... [09:02] !ubuntustudio [09:02] UbuntuStudio is a collection of packages for the artist who wishes to use Ubuntu as their Digital Audio Workstation. It contains all the best Audio/Visual components from the Ubuntu repositories. For more info and install instructions, join #ubuntustudio or see http://ubuntustudio.org [09:02] I had earlier added ubuntustudio source in my apt, but after upgrading to jaunty it seems to have been removed [09:02] dhruvasagar, ubuntustudio-desktop is the package you need [09:02] kevdog: You can even make redistributable copies of your system [09:02] Dr_Willis: it does, and I had them earlier [09:02] bazhang: oOO [09:02] bazhang: thanks :) [09:02] dhruvasagar: upgrading does clean/remove the 'unofficial' type repos from the list befor it upgradew [09:02] linuxson25: Yea I gathered that -- Wow -- to make a redistributable copy of my system with e17 -- that is good stuff!! [09:02] Dr_Willis: yes I know that [09:03] Dr_Willis: yes I know that [09:03] Dr_Willis: this was my second upgrade [09:03] Dr_Willis: I started out with 8.04 === ben is now known as Guest20517 [09:03] Ubuntu rocks :) [09:03] I always do clean reinstalls.. :) [09:04] excuse me . I install the IE 6.0 on ubuntu, but how can I watch flash on it ??? [09:04] Dr_Willis: why? [09:04] kevdog: You can create cdf and iso filesystems [09:04] Guest20517, via wine? [09:04] dhruvasagar: works better for me. with my /home on its own partition.. its trivial [09:04] linuxson25: cdf? [09:04] Guest20517: you will have to download the flash player plugin for IE for windows and run it through wine [09:05] * kevdog off topic -- Forget wine!!1 [09:05] * dhruvasagar test [09:05] Thank you every one I will try [09:05] kevdog: Not too sure myself what that ext is, but there is an option in the menu to create a redistributable cd, where you can add files later on to the cd. I am gathering this is what it means [09:06] Guest20517: uhm, there's a flash installer that comes with the ie installer [09:06] IE6 on ubuntu? so lame [09:07] O__o: pointless [09:07] btw can someone remind me the name of the package for IE [09:07] Or Firefox can go into website which IE only? [09:07] O__o: Leather patches on a suede jacket. [09:07] dhruvasagar: IE doesn't exist for linux properly, there are 3rd part products like IE on linux, but they are not good [09:07] There was a package for installing various versions of IE [09:07] I have installed it earlier [09:07] O__o: Unfortunately, some websites (especially internal company stuff) still are only compatible with IE6. [09:07] Guest20517: there are some firefox plugins that simluate IE behaviour, check out the firefox plugins [09:08] ikonia: hey! you seem to be always here! === yoni is now known as CrAzYoNi [09:08] O__o: there are web developers that use ubuntu, it helps to have ie there for testing [09:08] !ies4linux [09:08] ies4linux is a script that quickly and effortlessly helps you install 3 versions of IE in Wine. Information can be found at http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/page/Main_Page including instructions specifically for Ubuntu. ies4linux is aimed at web designers and ie-only sites, so please, don’t use any of the IEs to navigate! Use Firefox! [09:09] ahh [09:09] i dont understand why sites make it only compatible with IE? [09:09] that was the name! [09:09] O__o: lazy developers. [09:09] O__o: because some people like it that way [09:09] specially business site or some banks? [09:09] so the question I really wanted to ask was, last time I checked ies4linux didn't install on 64 bit [09:09] all bank sites ive seen works for all the browsers ive tried. [09:09] O__o: never under-estimate how slow people are. [09:09] dhruvasagar: ie4linux-2.99.0.1 [09:09] dhruvasagar: still doesn't really [09:09] hi can anyone help me play .mov files from apple site...every time i click a trailer, it crashes and cancels f-fox [09:09] Does now [09:10] jamieleshaw: really ? when did that happen [09:10] simran: download it and run it with mplayer [09:10] jamieleshaw: it does? [09:10] i just try to avoid those company and banks === Kira is now known as Guest12017 [09:10] I'm on 64bit right now I was using it a monet ago, works fine [09:10] im using mplayer+mplayer plugin+w32codecs+restricted-extras [09:10] moment* [09:10] window close [09:10] jamieleshaw: is it a 32bit application still or native 64bit / [09:10] O__o: then do so [09:10] gnea, there is no way to stream it mate? [09:11] Don't know but it works [09:11] ikonia: jamieleshaw: :) [09:11] jamieleshaw: well i'll try installing it again sometime soon [09:11] simran: eh, the encoding can be a bit odd at times. if downloading it and playing it back doesn't work, then maybe you don't have the right codec or maybe one doesn't exist [09:11] I used the linux tar [09:11] file [09:11] ikonia: often IE is required which working with CSS [09:12] & PayPal Sandbox [09:12] ikonia: while* working with CSS [09:12] how to dl them [09:12] IE 7 OR 8 [09:12] dhruvasagar: I'm aware of it's uses [09:12] what is this css u're talkin aboutß [09:12] It has IE7 in it now [09:12] ikonia: :-| [09:12] br34l: cascading style sheets [09:12] Cascade Style Sheets [09:13] CSS [09:13] ty [09:13] cascading* [09:13] CSS = counter strike source :) [09:13] thats what i thought [09:13] jamieleshaw: where did you get IE 7 or 8 - ie4linux is only up to IE6 [09:13] lol [09:13] haha [09:13] O__o: haha [09:13] Wrong, it has IE7 now [09:13] Check it again? [09:13] ikonia: no last time I used it, it had ie 7 [09:14] Correct. [09:14] jamieleshaw: website just says 5 5.5 6 [09:14] how does one compile from source if the makefile is provided? Because then you cant "./configure" to generate it for your machine [09:14] 0__o: No wonder my sites kept on getting "shot" downl [09:14] *down [09:14] ikonia, It's BETA [09:14] head shot [09:14] b3rz3rk3r: make? [09:14] b3rz3rk3r: just do a make [09:14] ikonia, But works fine. [09:14] ahhh yes, I see it in the beta section, thank you [09:14] b3rz3rk3r: depends on the code. theres altertives to ./configure :) [09:14] jamieleshaw: were you able to install it fine in 64bit? [09:14] Yes. [09:15] Just install as you would normally. [09:15] jamieleshaw: when I had tried about 6 months back I had some issues [09:15] Jaunty? [09:15] you've said that [09:15] WebcamWonder, dhruvasagar Dr_Willis tried just running make and it threw errors at me [09:15] jamieleshaw: no I tried on 8,10 [09:15] any alternative to fsck that is more powerfull than fsck, i have tried to repair my flsh disk in vain [09:16] I'm using 9.10, works seamlessly. [09:16] Hi [09:16] b3rz3rk3r: well that either means you don't have all the dependencies or there are errors in the code [09:16] jamieleshaw: 9.10 ?? [09:16] Sorry, I mean 9.04 [09:16] nmvicky: depends what the problem is [09:16] will the next version of ubuntu calls ubuntuX or something like that? [09:16] jamieleshaw: you meant 9.04 right? [09:16] Yes. [09:16] O__o: 9.10 karmick [09:16] jamieleshaw: :), yea I am on 9.04 now too [09:16] !910 > O__o [09:16] Sorry, I don't know anything about 910 [09:17] !9.10 > O__o [09:17] O__o, please see my private message [09:17] haha [09:17] i mean after 9.10 [09:17] !Karmic Koala [09:17] Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 2009 - Karmic WILL break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [09:17] jamieleshaw: You almost had me running to the Ubuntu site to download the newest 9.10 release....lol [09:17] dhruvasagar, i checked the dependencies myself and the errors were'nt related to that. I have since found a different way of installing it, but what else can i do in future? [09:17] O__o: not named yet [09:17] can anyone help me in installing pidgin plugin musictracker???? [09:17] ikonia, What is not named yet? [09:17] !pidgin [09:17] b3rz3rk3r: well genenrally it is important to run the ./configure to ensure that you have all the dependecies ...

[09:18] anyone uses ubuntu hardy with an ati radeon hd4850 card? [09:19] b3rz3rk3r: is the application something you created or worked ? [09:19] jamieleshaw: the version of ubuntu that will come after 9.10 has not been named yet [09:19] ubuntu needs to hire some artist to design a better default theme. something beautiful like osx [09:19] dhruvasagar: dude its not pre installed dude, and i got the source but not able to install it, so finding any help here.. [09:19] ikonia: probably its filesystem,well i plugged it out of my system while it was still in use, colud this be repairable?its a LG flash disk, i have tried repairing it with a windows XP CD(thought i trust linux to be more powerful) but still nothing, the most common output is something like permissions on the device. [09:19] ikonia, Yes, I understand now. [09:19] O__o: if you look on ubuntuforums there are some good art discussions [09:19] 0__o: you can download OSx type themes for Ubuntu [09:19] indian_munnda: there is a package in the repos [09:19] ikonia, i mean default theme [09:19] indian_munnda: I know its not pre-installed [09:19] nmvicky: which file system is on it [09:19] dhruvasagar: can u name it please [09:19] indian_munnda: the package name is pidgin-plugin-pack [09:19] O__o: yes, and there are some good discussions on it on ubuntu forums [09:19] that u dont need to tweak it after [09:20] There is actually a graphics team, but it's still in the making. [09:20] dhruvasagar: ok let me install that first [09:20] indian_munnda: you can check out its details in synaptic [09:20] dhruvasagar, i was trying to compile neverball from source, and after getting the dependencies i tried to "./configure" and it just said command not found [09:20] The Time selector in Jackolope was the work of the graphics team. [09:20] b3rz3rk3r: neverball is cool :) [09:20] b3rz3rk3r: that appolication does not use configure [09:20] b3rz3rk3r: read the README file and INSTALL files [09:20] ikonia, right, i saw that the makefile is provided, so what else do i do [09:20] ikonia, oh.. ok [09:21] b3rz3rk3r: well firstly I would suggest you to probably go to getdeb.net and check if you can directly get the .deb file (if I remember correctly it is there) [09:21] ikonia: right now it has no filesystem, when i plug it in my system it just appears as a USB drive which is not mounted. [09:21] benoitc: read the README file and the INSTALL files [09:21] nmvicky: what file system should be on it [09:21] Install the README and read the INSTALL file. :) [09:21] b3rz3rk3r: configure is actually a script [09:21] dhruvasagar, iv got it now.. it was in the repos, just wanted to see if i could build from source to get more confortable with it [09:21] dhruvasagar: i got the plugin in the repos itself. :) [09:21] indian_munnda: that is what I had said :) [09:22] Well, I got good news, no, make it GREAT news everyone!!!! Got Ubuntu working on my desktop, straight from the cloned live-cd!! [09:22] dhruvasagar: i have installed it and now checking it..then let u know whther its working or not [09:22] indian_munnda: great :) [09:22] indian_munnda: btw where are you from in India? [09:22] linuxson25: using what tool was that now? i forgot the name. [09:23] I recently installed the KDE dekstop, and after installing it on my desktop, just asked it to boot into KDE environment instead of gnome [09:23] Okay.. So my router, presently, has only a small annoyance. [09:23] When eth1, my net interface, comes up, it replaces /etc/resolv.conf with that retrieved via the DHCP. [09:23] linuxson25: I don't quite understand how that is great... [09:23] I don't want that, I want it to stay as I put it, or to adjust it with resolvconf to settings specifically supplied by wherever it gets that. [09:23] Dr_Willis: Remastersys [09:23] Cause, I have my own domains. I have my own DNS, I don't want my router out of sync with that. [09:23] linuxson25: maybe I am not interpreting your correctly or something [09:23] ikonia: vfat [09:23] !info remastersys [09:23] Package remastersys does not exist in jaunty [09:23] Hmmm... [09:23] hm [09:23] !remastersys [09:24] Sorry, I don't know anything about remastersys [09:24] Ubuntu question: update maneger refuses to update [09:24] Psi-Jack__: I forget the exact option, but there's a way to call dhcpcd without pulling DNS info [09:24] Dr_Willis: is the spellings correct ? [09:24] Psi-Jack__: there are some settings for the dhcp client you can set.. I think that's what's overwriting the file [09:24] dhruvasagar: I have been going at it straight for 12 hours now, trying to install the cloned version om my laptop on my desktop pc, but after logging in, it would just give me a white screen. I got it working now, by booting into the KDE environment [09:24] jerriy: does it give you an error message ? [09:24] Psi-Jack__: there is a keyword called "prepend" that might be useful [09:24] apt-cache search remaster --> blank. :() [09:24] Hmm [09:25] jerriy: most likely you need to do a 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to clean any errors you might have had while update last time [09:25] dhruvasagar certain things are not updated [09:25] how to I get files off of my home partition onto my winXP installed under VIRTUALBOX? [09:25] linuxson25: what exactly does a cloned version mean ? [09:26] majuk: Well in the dhclient.conf, there's options and such, but so far, everything I've tried, still results in the same thing. [09:26] dhruvasagar: thanks it working successfully like in gtalk....:P [09:26] dhruvasagar I can't update specifically 2 things that nevertheless appear among the lists in update manager!!! [09:26] Slart: --^ [09:26] indian_munnda: awesome :) [09:26] dhruvasagar: u too from india? [09:26] dhruvasagar: I used the software remastersys to "clone" my laptop installation to my desktop pc [09:26] wiehan: the OS in vurtialbox can access the linux box as if the 2 machines were on a LAN. via samba/shares.. OR virtualbox has its own special 'share' that windows can access if you install the vbox guest addations. (see the vbox docs) [09:26] indian_munnda: yea Bangalore [09:27] Psi-Jack__: like a line "option nodns" in the interfaces config didn't do anything? [09:27] It's in ubuntu jaunty [09:27] majuk: Nope. It still pulled it. [09:27] ikonia: any ideas? [09:27] dhruvasagar: do u know any expert in Ubuntu? [09:27] majuk: And set it. [09:27] Psi-Jack__: I've used the prepend options at one point.. not sure if they've changed anything since then.. as a last resort you could set resolv.conf to read only.. but that's a poor solution if you ask me [09:27] indian_munnda: ikonia is quite an expert [09:27] indian_munnda: but there are lots of experts here in this channel [09:27] dhruvasagar: is he in india? [09:27] dhruvasagar: I made an exact copy of my already istalled Ubuntu distro [09:28] Slart: Indeed, it is a poor solution, especially since dhclient runs as root and it wouldn't effect it. [09:28] dhruvasagar: The software lets you make redistributable backup copies [09:28] linuxson25: I had thought so, just wanted to confirm, now that is AWESOME! [09:28] Psi-Jack__: Google tells me etherconf con turn DNS on/off for an interface [09:28] majuk: Oh! you mean in the /etc/network/interfaces? [09:28] indian_munnda: no I don't think ikonia is from India [09:28] dhruvasagar: Yeah, I know [09:29] dhruvasagar: So happy right now!!! [09:29] Jaunty update manager "forbids" updating 2 distros [09:29] majuk: etherconf? That's not... In my root path. [09:29] linuxson25: If only I knew about this earlier, I wouldn't have had to install everything I needed all over again when I changed my laptop! [09:29] jerriy: did you try the command I told you? [09:29] * Gnea wonders why sound in firefox/youtube had decided not to work anymore... [09:29] dhruvasagar: Actually i wanna have a seminar in my college in which an expert will speak to te people about the ubuntu benefits. [09:30] majuk: Ahh, etherconf must be a Gnome thing? [09:30] Dr_Willis: Failed to retrieve share list from server [09:30] Psi-Jack__: I dunno, blame Google. [09:30] Gnea: Are you in Karmic or Jaunty? [09:30] Psi-Jack__: read only files are automatically overwritten by root? what version of ubuntu are you running? [09:30] dhruvasagar: so i need an expert for that who can tell all my guest about linux. [09:30] Slart: 9.04-server [09:30] indian_munnda: I think you should ask that question directly here itself, not direct it to me, I have good experience in Ubuntu, but I don't consider myself an expert by any means [09:30] Slart: And yes, root can still overwrite readonly files. Root is god. [09:30] wiehan: then ya dont have the networking/shares setup right.. you could also use ssh, and install winscp on the windows virt machine.. or use the vbox guest addations. [09:30] Psi-Jack__: are you really sure root doesn't respect the permissions for files? [09:30] On Karmic sound is completely snafu [09:31] jerriy: you can try to remove and reinstall those 2 packages which are stuck / corrupt [09:31] dhruvasagar: are u a member of ubuntu-in? [09:31] !karmic | richardcavell [09:31] richardcavell: Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 2009 - Karmic WILL break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [09:31] indian_munnda: ubuntu-in ? [09:31] Slart: root can do anything [09:31] f- spot and gstreamer0.10-plugins [09:31] Slart: Pretty sure, yeah.. But I don't want a dirty hack either, not for my routing server. [09:31] richardcavell: give it a try.. please [09:31] dhruvasagar: ubuntu india channel name....:) [09:31] richardcavell: jaunty. what I have are 2 soundcards: an audigy and an x-fi usb. they won't work at the same time under pulseaudio, as the audigy takes pulseaudio and throws it through a meatgrinder, causing pa to crash and burn. i've blacklisted the audigy module from loading so i could plug the usb back in. [09:31] Slart: I know that, I was replying to Gnea [09:31] Gnea: pulseaudio seems to be working poorly [09:31] richardcavell: so I ran pa again, and sounds work - except for within firefox [09:31] for an eeepc, ubuntu supports it all... but is there still a reason to chose for something like eeebuntu ? [09:32] indian_munnda: I am now :) [09:32] Plenty of people have had issues with two sound cards [09:32] or even a sound card and integrated sound [09:32] indian_munnda: but not many people there === hyy is now known as hyya [09:32] jerriy: I hope you read my previous messages to you [09:32] dhruvasagar: yeah u r right [09:32] Gnea: I'd try to help you but I can't get my own PA working [09:32] richardcavell: oh.. it still applies though.. take gnea with you to #ubuntu+1 =) [09:32] richardcavell: probably, and I even found some configuration directives for pa to work with the audigy, but it still didn't take right [09:32] richardcavell: what's wrong with it? [09:32] Slart: he's using Jaunty [09:32] Psi-Jack__: Hey, see the 'request' line? Can to specify one of those per interface? [09:33] richardcavell: bah.. nevermind me then [09:33] Gnea: You can try #pulseaudio [09:33] Slart: why #ubuntu+1? [09:33] majuk: I see it, but the request line for me, doesn't work. [09:33] Gnea: You're on the right channel. [09:33] richardcavell: I have, even they haven't been able to fix it (the audigy bit, that is) [09:33] you mean 'sudo dpkg --configure -a'? yes I've read it [09:33] richardcavell: I know I am :) [09:33] Gnea: There are some guys on the pulse audio channel who really know what they're doing [09:33] Gnea: I got the impression you were discussing sound on Karmic.. my bad [09:33] Slart: np. I don't run alpha or beta releases. [09:34] Ok, this is kinda weird.....I can boot into KDE desktop on my desktop pc, but as soon as I log off and try gnome, I get a white screen again [09:34] Gnea: it is possible to uninstall pulseaudio completely and still have sound [09:34] Anyone maybe know why that is? [09:34] dhruvasagar: actually there is a very big ubuntu community in india but we are unaware of that. They all meet in JNU campus many times in a year. There is always a big meeting but i dont know when it happens [09:34] Psi-Jack__: What do you mean? If you take "domain-name-servers" out of the request line, it still calls for DNS info? [09:34] richardcavell: eh, there's a catch-22 here, though [09:34] majuk: Well, apparently, because it still overrites the resolv.conf for me. [09:34] Gnea: like what? [09:34] indian_munnda: there are actually a lot of communities my friend, not just one :) [09:34] Psi-Jack__: Well if that were configured like that, NOTHING should make a DNS call. [09:35] Then you got other problems, I dunno. [09:35] dhruvasagar: i have heard of only that one in india...:P [09:35] richardcavell: alsa works great with the audigy. but I can't seem to get the mic to work. alsa only provides a basic functionality with the x-fi usb, whereas pulseaudio opens the features of the x-fi up (like changing the volume and using the mic. surround 5.1 works, from what i've heard, although i've yet to test it) [09:35] Psi-Jack__: Install Gentoo, this would take a whole 1 line. [09:35] :P [09:36] majuk: Bleh. I use gentoo at work. I don't want it at home. :p [09:36] Gnea: I don't know enough to be able to help you [09:36] richardcavell: so basically, the audigy will only work with alsa, and the x-fi will only work with pulseaudio [09:36] richardcavell: thanks for trying :) [09:36] Gnea: when you get your PA fixed you can help me fix mine XD [09:36] Ok, this is kinda weird.....I can boot into KDE desktop on my desktop pc, but as soon as I log off and try gnome, I get a white screen again [09:36] Anyone maybe know why that is? [09:36] richardcavell: I've actually worked with PA a lot, so I might be able to help you - what's the deal? [09:36] Good to hear that X-fi cards are finally getting some support... [09:36] I'll try the supersede method. [09:37] linuxson25: ive seen a bug silimer to that with the ati drivers.. which was a bother. [09:37] Dr_Willis: yeah, but now I can't seem to get the mic to work again [09:37] I can't tick on the box so then why do they appear on the list of things to be updated via update manager? that I can then install the two things ( [09:37] Gnea: mate, I'm just going to wait for all the updates before I complain too much. Basically, PA is taken over by one app (in my case, Steam) and no other app has sound [09:37] Dr_Willis: I have tried, but I can't succeed, please just run me trhough the first basic steps. [09:37] sup [09:37] Psi-Jack__: I only see ways to set the DNS servers statically. [09:37] Sorry mang [09:37] linuxson25: i ended up not using gdm/kdm (or added the always restart server option) to gdm. [09:37] Gnea: If I exit Steam, another app gets sound and every other app has none [09:38] richardcavell: interesting. is it the latest alsa+pulseaudio from the repos or did you upgrade them to the latest? [09:38] majuk: That's exactly what I want. I use my own DNS servers in-house. [09:38] Gnea: from the repos [09:38] majuk: SO I need not just nameserver entries, but domain and search to stay mine. === Ward is now known as Wardje [09:38] wiehan: basic steps to what exactly? if you got xp in virtualbox. You can install winscp on it.. and access the linux box via ssh. to get some files back and forth. thats ONE way of doing it. [09:38] It actually broke *after* a PulseAudio update [09:38] Now, supercede domain-name-servers, worked for the nameserver stuff. but supersede domain-name and supersede domain-search, did not.. It still picked up my ISP's [09:39] So I reckon there was a new bug introduced or it exposed a regression [09:39] Psi-Jack__: Oh. Well then you should be able to put "prepend domain-name-servers $IP" and then take domain-name-server out of the request batch [09:39] richardcavell: okay. I had to update my alsa (there's a ppa for it) and pulseaudio (from source) to make any headway - it all works a bit better, but well, you know my problem now :) [09:39] richardcavell: when you exit steam, have you tried a sudo /etc/init.d/pulseaudio restart ? [09:39] Dr_Willis: I heard that you can literally just drag and drop files? I want to do that. [09:39] god 'ole ubuntu [09:39] I think PulseAudio's still unstable [09:39] good* [09:39] richardcavell: agreed [09:39] wiehan: ive never seen that done, check the vbox docs I guess.. [09:39] Gnea: no I haven't, but thanks for the tip [09:40] wiehan: could be you need the guest addations, and enable some clipboard featiures [09:40] richardcavell: it's one of the most crappy software included by default in ubuntu, next to X. [09:40] richardcavell: if in doubt, I always restart the daemon to see where the problem is at - if it's really with pa or with alsa or somewhere else [09:40] Ive had no issues with Pulse audio. :) [09:40] Dr_Willis: But the strange thing is though, when I do a normall installation with the straight forward Ubuntu disc, it runs smoothly on my AMD64 desktop. Its only when I use the remastersys copy that gnome bombs out. I thought this might have something to do with a display driver or something, and spent about 2 hours getting it connected to the net last night, and updating my NVidia drivers....which by the way, were up to date [09:40] rsk: It's also going through frequent updates [09:40] i've never died Dr_Willis but i'm sure other people do. [09:40] that's not a valid point you made [09:40] rsk: A piece of software that is updated every 3 days can't be stable [09:40] I just wish there was a way to get pulseaudio to 'ignore' certain alsa entries [09:41] richardcavell: updates smupdates. dont include crappy shit that brakes sound. [09:41] kind of basic :p [09:41] i am having trouble getting my mic to work with ubuntu [09:41] they said the same about ALSA back when it was in the process of replacing OSS. [09:41] Dr_Willis: oss is still better [09:41] rsk: well, Karmic's due in 2 months. We'll see if they manage to fix it by then. [09:41] so we should go back to the little speakers built into the motherboard! [09:41] like its turned on and i can talk into it and hear it in my headset, but i am unable to record myself talking [09:42] !sound [09:42] If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [09:43] is it normal to have alsa, oss, and pulseaudio installed? [09:43] craCkpot: i'd say that's normal [09:44] is it necessary? [09:44] craCkpot: yes. they are 'layers' :) actually alsa has a oss compatiablity layer i think ya can say [09:44] craCkpot: Ubuntu seems to think so. [09:44] how do I upgrade firefox from the 3.0 version thats bundled with ubuntu by default to the 3.5 thats already out? [09:44] kernel -> alsa --> pulseaudio [09:44] !ff3.5 | cornjuliox [09:44] cornjuliox: Firefox 3.5 Final is available for Jaunty by installing the package firefox-3.5 and firefox-3.5-gnome-support | FF3.5 is referred to as Shiretoko in your UI, see http://is.gd/1reB3 for an explanation | Hardy & Intrepid: http://is.gd/1jkNY [09:44] Dr_Willis: i'm on hardy [09:44] cornjuliox: then you should of mentioned that. :) [09:45] cornjuliox: you could go get the firefox binary tar.gz from the firefox homepage i guess.. :) [09:45] Got it. [09:45] I had to to supersede domain-name "mydomain"; as well, and it also took care of domain-search too. [09:45] I've decided I'm going to stabilise on 10.04. I'm sick of these update cycles. They break things as often as they fix them. [09:45] Dr_Willis: i have the binary tar, but it doesn't run. its complaining that it can't find libxul.so but its in the same directory as firefox-bin. [09:46] richardcavell: I put the question forth to the pa people, all I can do is wait and hope [09:46] cornjuliox: it may be trying to load the one from the system libx first i guess. [09:46] Dr_Willis: how do you correct that, then? [09:46] Gnea: and try the IRC channel again in 6 hours - there are often a new bunch of people on at different times [09:47] cornjuliox: no idea :) theres some command line optiosn i recall seeing. but not tried it in ages.. I see about 4 libxul.so here on this jaunt install.. seems songbird even has its own. [09:49] richardcavell: yeah, I'm used to the lag there - thanks === bambam is now known as Guest30037 [09:51] hi [09:51] Where are password stored in Ubuntu, like with postgres?

As I understand it, if I want hibernation to work, I need about 2x my RAM? [10:24] groza : yes,you will delete them with commands and told you [10:25] chrisss: more that 1xRAM you need [10:25] Say I currently have 1GB RAM. So I'd have a swap partition of 2? [10:25] groza : and if you now have 3gb there is no need for that I think [10:25] zvacet: can you give me the commands again pls? [10:25] chrisss: would be sufficient [10:25] llutz: Oh. What if, at a later date, I increase my RAM. Is changing the partition easy? [10:25] anybody has experience with arkeia backup solution ?

I'm partitioning right now via the UNR installation process. [10:26] Gr1: Those two links have some tutorials on connection sharing.

[10:27] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [10:27] chrisss: if you put your swap partition at the start of the disk, it will be hard to increase it later. if you plan to upgrade your RAM, create a big swap better now than later [10:27] guyz.... i wanna learn bash scripting ,,, how? [10:27] I will try the other :) [10:27] Thank you [10:28] llutz: Oh, okay then. Thanks. [10:28] is there a channel for the netbook remix specifically?

I favour the above partitioning scheme to serve me really well over the years. [with] /home, /boot and / to format as ext4". I get what the other partitions are used for, what is "/" (20GB) for? [10:30] mido: http://www.tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/ [10:30] ok...thnx guyz [10:30] Hello. I installed Ubuntu on a Flash drive using usb-creator, and I was wondering if there might be any problems with plugging the USB stick back and forth between computer? [10:30] majuk i 'cheat' and use the DJL program to get games that are not in the repos :) its sortr of a GPL-Steam like program -> http://en.djl-linux.org/ [10:30] chrisss: do you really need seperat /boot? [10:30] basically, i'm trying to install unr on my eeepc 700 (on the sd card) and whenever I install it, it keeps telling me that I get something called a "grub 21 error" [10:30] Dr_Willis: Thanks [10:30] chrisss: / is where everything that isn't in one of the other partitions goes. So /etc, for example, would be in / if you don't make a separate /etc partition. [10:30] eboyjr: Go to bed. :P [10:31] eboyjr: nope, I do it all the time and it works fine. [10:31] eboyjr: shouldent be. if you set up a 'persistant' save location/file. the permissions should stay correct [10:31] ok..which the best book for bash sdripting [10:31] ? [10:31] rww: So a "/" is neccesary? And has to be 20GB? [10:31] mido: http://www.tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/ [10:31] llutz: I'm not really sure. I'm following the advice given here: http://www.jfwhome.com/2009/08/06/perfect-ubuntu-jaunty-on-the-asus-eeepc-1005ha-and-1008ha/ [10:31] mido: the one by Oreailly (sp?) is a must get eventually :) [10:31] mido: tons of good free guides out also [10:31] chrisss: I think 1GB for /boot is definitely too much. [10:32] chrisss: "/" is like "c:" except of course better [10:32] chrisss: It's necessary, the size is up to you. I think the recommendation is more than 8GB. [10:32] thnx alot guyz [10:33] rww: Dr_Willis: Awesome thanks :) I suppose I have to select "Try Ubuntu without chaning anything on the hard drive" each time? [10:33] chrisss: /boot only makes sense if you're using filesystems grub cannot handle [10:33] eboyjr: yes [10:33] eboyjr: unless you want to start the Installer. :) [10:33] rww: Eh okay that will be fine though thanks yoiu [10:33] Dr_Willis: Lol thanks :) [10:34] So I shouldn't have a /boot?

I was thinking of getting to learn how to theme Ubuntu, down to making new title bar buttons, scrollbars, etc. Are there any sites I should look to? [10:35] rww: So if / is like a C drive, then what's /home? [10:36] Video player problem [10:36] !home | chrisss [10:36] chrisss: Your home directory is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home directory to a separate partition, please see: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome [10:36] chrisss: "Documents & Settings" :) [10:36] Just installed Helix player via add/remove [10:36] But then after install ended I tried to open the app but no windows openes (there's a little flash of something (as if it was about to be openend) but then nothing === taube is now known as Taube [10:37] chrisss: / isn't like a c: drive. Linux represents files as an inverted "tree". You have / at the base, with /home/ branching off it, and /home/yourusername/ branching off that... and /etc/ on another branch, etc. You can optionally make one or more of those "branches" be on a different partition or drive. As long as they're all somewhere, you'll be fine. [10:37] i have a license agreement in terminal for java and i can select ok what shoyld i do [10:37] ? [10:37] chrisss: Basically, it's where you save everything on. Your personal files. Your configuration files. Copying ~/home to other machine will result in almost an identical system. All settings you made in Firefox, Pidgin, etc, will be same. [10:37] groza: press tab to get to the OK button, I think. [10:37] finally i decided to upgrade to 9.04, i chose to use update manger.Will any of my installed applications removed? [10:38] thanks it worked [10:38] nmvictor: they shouldn't be, no. It'll tell you before removing packages. [10:38] nmvictor: yes [10:38] hey guys, how's it going? [10:38] kbowa [10:38] eh [10:38] hi dk_ [10:38] guyz... i wanna do LFC ... what i've to learn before that? [10:38] SD card doesnt mount after hibernation. [10:39] rww, leaf-sheep, llutz, ubottu: So it really isn't necessary to have a /home? I could simply have a / and make a folder in /? [10:39] Anybody with a helix player? [10:39] Hi hi, all. I was thinking of getting to learn how to theme Ubuntu, down to making new title bar buttons, scrollbars, etc. Are there any sites I should look to? [10:39] jerriy: sure. [10:40] after install, I tried to open the app but no windows openes (there's a little flash of something (as if it was about to be openend) but then nothing [10:40] guyz... i wanna do LFC ... what i've to learn before that? [10:40] chrisss: /home on own partition makes some things easier later but isn't a must [10:40] silare: gnome-looks.org [10:40] chrisss: Correct. In fact, that's exactly what the installer will do if you don't make a separate /home partition. [10:41] I needed the helix player cuz of the need to play "Realplayer type" vids [10:41] It has tuts? [10:41] chrisss: You could just make a single / and everything will be residing in it. I suppose if you're new to Ubuntu, this will be okay as you're learning more and more overtime. I'd suggest making at least 100MB for /boot and the rest at / for first timers. [10:41] Myrtti: Does GNOMElooks have tutorials or so? [10:41] rww: it already said, well just anjuta seems the important one among the ones thatwil be removed, hope their is a version for jaunty [10:42] I need a help... i wanna do LFC ... what i've to learn before that? [10:42] rww, llutz, leaf-sheep: Okay, so /swap is for hibernation, correct? What does /boot do? [10:43] chrisss: it's were kernel and grub reside [10:43] chrisss: There are no /swap -- but yeah. Swap are used for hibernation. /boot is where the boot file goes. Let me find you something. [10:43] chrisss: important files for booting.

So having to restart everytime. Can i just overwrite the port file with a blank one manually? will that work? [11:06] 4gb of swap is still huge. :) you got 4gb of ram on that thing? [11:06] is there someone install ATI driver? [11:06] [11:06] I used to use VLC but when I upgraded to In jaunty my VLC player split in two [11:06] jerry1: yes! I had an ATI driver [11:06] Dr_Willis: Currently 1GB, but will be upgrading to 2GB in the near future. [11:06] jerry1: did you install the driver from the repo? [11:07] the VLC screen separated from the controls [11:07] no [11:07] chrisss9: then you proberly can make due with 2gb swap [11:07] jerry1: thats a vlc setting somewhere. [11:07] chrisss9: ive had so many other issues with hibernate/suspend - i never use the feature any more [11:07] chrisss9: I'd suggest to shut down -- To save battery. For my laptop, Shutting down and start again if needed... is faster than my suspend/hibernation so I tend to avoid them. :) [11:08] I want ONE player to open in ONE windows [11:08] leaf-sheep: hibernation won't use any battery [11:08] SingAlong:how to install it [11:08] jerry1: from your pkg manager [11:08] jerry1: then check the vlc settings.. or try some other players. [11:08] Dr_Willis:it has no relation with it [11:08] jerry1: Synaptic Pakage Manager if you are using ubuntu. [11:08] llutz: No. But it took me long time to boot up from hibernation. I waited more than 3 minutes and kept wondering if it's locked up or something didn't went smooth. [11:08] jerry1: oh no wait [11:08] jerry1: huh? [11:09] jerry1: System->Administration->Hardware Drivers [11:09] Dr_Willis, leaf-sheep, llutz: Okay, I'm not using hibernation. Seems much trouble than it's worth.Do I still need a /swap then? [11:09] vlc is also themeable with lots of neat skins. [11:09] llutz: Full system encryption may be a factor in this too. :P [11:09] Why did Jaunty split VLC player?? [11:09] chrisss9: use 512mb swap then at least. [11:09] anyone knows if there's a repos to upgrade my dbus to 1.2.14 version (in jaunty?) [11:09] leaf-sheep: resuming takes abt 15 seconds here, booting 30. so i save 15secs a day, 105 a week.... whow === freaky|bday is now known as freaky[t] [11:11] SingAlong:but i can't find it [11:11] Guys [11:11] Dr_Willis, leaf-sheep, llutz: For the "Location for the new partition" do I select Beginning or End? Or does it not matter? [11:11] In jaunty Mplayer = two screens; VLC = two screens - Only Totem opens a single integrated window [11:11] I have no video signal at the log in screen [11:11] chrisss9: beginning is fine [11:11] I do have the ALT CTRL F1 menu [11:12] graphic driver failed [11:12] Any thoughts on fixing it, jerry1? [11:13] i'm thinking.... [11:13] Hi everyone [11:14] Mraedis: do u have some sugestion? === Julia is now known as Julia_ [11:14] Still got the same issue with my gnome desktop [11:14] No :p [11:14] Dr_Willis, leaf-sheep, llutz: How much GB would you recommend /boot be? 1GB? [11:14] Installed my remastersys copy of my laptop ubuntu installation on desktop pc [11:15] When I launch KDE desktop, it works 100%. But when I launch gnome, it just gives me a white screen [11:15] I can't access cli. Some days ago I could do it but not anymore. I switch to ctrl+alt+f2 but I can't login from there. All I see id symbol _ flashing. Any ideas how to fix this? [11:15] I've tried reconfiguring xorg, and gdm [11:15] To no avail [11:16] chrisss9: I understand. You're afraid. You don't want to make mistakes. 100 MB is totally fine. :) However, the best practice would be putting it in 50-200 MB ranges. [11:16] I would like to carry on using my gnome desktop, as KDE desktop keeps on crashing as soon as I plug in USB stuff [11:16] And its always been friendly to me....so far [11:16] lol [11:16] chrisss9: i dont bothe rwith its own /boot parittion [11:17] i doubt the soft in source broken [11:17] chrisss9: i use a partition for /, and perhaps one for /home and swap. thats it. [11:17] I know its not a driver isssue, cause then KDE wouldnt run [11:17] Just not too sure what it is now though [11:17] ikonia, sorry, what is it doing? [11:17] if I run "last" I see connections from other computers using my local user. Today when I logged in it said Last login: [time] from [ip adress that is not mine]. How can this be? [11:18] chrisss9, u dont even need one for /home really, but it will make restoration later easier [11:18] do different operating system, windows, linux, freebsd etc... may have influence on the durability of pc hardware? [11:18] lockheed: most likely. no. [11:19] chrisss9, personally i just backup /home daily, so i dont even bother with separate partitions for it [11:19] #ubuntu [11:19] !gdm [11:19] Sorry, I don't know anything about gdm [11:19] buongiorno [11:19] salve [11:19] !gnome [11:19] GNOME is the default !desktop environment on Ubuntu. To install it from Kubuntu or Xubuntu, type « sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop » in a !terminal. [11:20] because when i understood it correctly, linux uses a lot of drivers created by reverse engennering, so these drivers aren't really optimized for the hardware [11:20] sono un'utente nuovo di jaunty jackalope [11:20] SD card doesnt mount after hibernation. [11:20] vorrei sapere come cambiare l'inrdirizzo ip riavviando da shell il router [11:20] sarthorks: known issue with many machines.. sadly [11:20] just cuz they are created by reverse engineering doesn't mean they are necessarily slower [11:20] Anyone think that if I re-install gdm package, it will fix my desktop? [11:20] lockheed: no it does not harm your hardware [11:21] dr_willis: so theres no fix yet? [11:21] sarthorks: depends omn your machine/mb/bios/phase of the moon i hear. - personally i dont use hibernate any more [11:21] «« [11:21] linuxson25:whats wrong with your desktop?

KDE desktop runs fine, but gnome just gives me a white screen [11:22] groza: I tried reconfiguring gdm and xorg, but didnt work [11:22] the only way to fix a grub that windows overwrote is to use the ubuntu install disc huh [11:22] linuxson25:do you have compiz? [11:23] Question: why did Jaunty split VLC player's controls from the actual "video screen" part? [11:23] groza: Hmmmmm....don't think so. Not sure. How can I check? [11:23] groza: And why do you ask? [11:23] idk [11:23] jerriy: thats not jaunty, its VLC, talk to them [11:23] i read somewhere that compiz may do thus [11:24] linuxson25: open a console and type "which compiz" [11:24] groza: So unistall compiz then? [11:24] that will tell you if you have it [11:24] try [11:24] okay [11:24] j2daosh: I used VLC during Intrepid ibex (so I know that VLC can be "unified" [11:25] jerriy: are the versions diffferent? odds are they detached it in the newest version. i can't imagine that ubuntu dev's would spend their time screwing with VLC player instead of working on ubuntu stuff [11:26] j2daosh: Okay, says /usr/bin/compiz. Means I got it [11:26] linuxson25: yes, that means you have it installed [11:26] j2daosh: Just sudo apt-get remove compiz? [11:26] what is the problem you are having though? [11:26] j2daosh: no not different. I didn't install or re-install VLS when I upgraded to Jaunty [11:26] work on the next vlc interface -> http://www.dudiak.com/VLC-Icons/new_interface_2.mp4 [11:27] So for partition areas, really, all I need is /swap and /? [11:27] j2daosh: I cloned my laptop distro with remastersys, and installed it on my desktop. KDE desktop works, but when I try logging into gnome, it just gives me a white screen [11:27] yeah i think that is the command linuxson25. there might also be a -purge thing you should do, but i dont remember since it has been months since i could get into my linux box lol [11:27] ubuntu will make /boot automatically? [11:27] Or is /boot not essential?

[11:28] but again, its been months since i have been into my linux server so :: shrugs :: [11:28] j2daosh: nah, already tried that. And tried re-configuring xorg [11:29] linuxson25: what does your log file tell you? [11:29] it could just be a bothced setting [11:29] Dr_Willis: And would you recommend having a /boot? And how many GBs? 1? [11:29] j2daosh: where would I get this log file? [11:29] j2daosh: dmesg? [11:30] If im download ubuntu 9.10 alpha 4... Can i upgrade to the final version when it will be release or do i need to reinstall my hole computer? [11:30] i was thinking more /var/log/X11/xorg.log.something [11:30] chrisss9: i said you dont need a /boot partition. [11:30] chrisss9: and 100mb is plenty for most people. [11:30] ugh its going to take some time getting used to this spanish keyboard layout [11:30] chrisss9: you only *need* /swp and / [11:30] chrisss9: let me repeate.. you most likely do NOT need a /boot partition.

How can i create a User that can only access one folder?

[11:45] the command is 'gdm restart' but i cant remember where gdm is. i think its under /etc/init.d/ or /etc/init.d/gdm/ [11:45] j2daosh /etc/init.d/gdm restart [11:45] ok, there you go linuxson25 [11:46] what xendon said [11:46] mohd have you selected the high graphics setting under appearance? do this then select compiz under preferences [11:46] did you pastebin it linuxson25 ? [11:46] j2daosh: xendon: Thanx [11:46] j2daosh: busy with that [11:46] u will see under Compiz there are many settings - have a play with them.

[11:49] if I install a new kernel from a .deb package, it will be add with the actual one on the grub, without replace it, right? [11:49] lollo3011: yes. in theory. [11:50] exit [11:50] i choosed the high graphic where to select compiz under preferences ? [11:50] Dr_Willis this make me scared :\ [11:50] lollo3011: using a kernel from a deb? from what deb? from where? [11:50] hello [11:51] lollo3011, if its an official .deb it'll just add another entry to the GRUB menu. The old version will still be there until you remove it. [11:51] kernels should just be added - i cant remember the name of the file, but i saw a file here a day ago that had 4 kernels listed to be displayed at boot and it also had a note stating that the number of kernels to be displayed was 'all', so i guess it can display many more as they are added / upgraded [11:51] it's not official, it's one made for the eeepc 1000h [11:52] unoffical ones are supposed to do it, but someone could have messed up along the way so i dont trust debs other people have made :P [11:52] that is, if 'all' was a finite number then i guess the o,ldest would eventually not be displayed as more kernels were added [11:52] I've got a DVD I want to put on Youtube, what sort of tools will help me do this? [11:53] ok, im back [11:53] someone shoot me [11:53] damn, what was the name of that file that contained this info? i only read that section of my book two nights ago ;-)) [11:53] * Bacta bang [11:53] or give me a zanax :) [11:53] * Ollie shoots j2daosh with a marshmellow gun [11:53] * Dr_Willis gets out the peashooter and shoots j2daosh [11:53] ollie, damnit [11:53] Bacta: on youtube you can put videos of 10 minutes max, d'you know this?

[11:54] Bacta: check out winff [11:54] but dont kneecap me, go for the head [11:54] Bacta oh ok [11:54] groza, j2daosh Found the solution. MT-write can be used in place of File Roller (which is default) and supports multiple threads.. archives scream now! [11:54] winff? For Ubuntu? [11:54] Bacta: yes....

Version 0.45.1-1ubuntu1 (jaunty), package size 1417 kB, installed size 4008 kB [11:54] why not just use ffmpeg? [11:55] good :) [11:55] Where does the win bit come into it :P [11:55] Ollie: what do you think winff uses? :) [11:55] they all seem to use ffmpeg, or mencoder for the backend. :) [11:56] ah, i totally misread that.. i thought it said it was a windows program that uses ffmpeg as a backend.. and he was looking for a linux version. [11:56] What sort of format does Youtube accept? .avi, mpeg? [11:56] i need some coffee [11:56] winff works same on linux and windows. :) [11:56] Ah, there we go then [11:56] sent you a pm with the error from the log linuxson25 [11:56] gotya :) [11:57] dont know what to do to fix it, I would google the first and last lines of the error i pasted [11:57] everything else in your log looks fine [11:57] Bacta, i suspect youtube uses the same libs you're going to use, but it'll list what it filters by on the upload page [11:57] j2daosh: thanx [11:58] Another question: How do I get it so that when I move my mouse over a window it brings it into focus without the click? I've seen this done on Debian before [11:58] actually i got a question that someone in here might be able to help with.. i basically need to pipe a byte range from a binary file, kinda like cat but with binary seeking ability. [11:58] anyone hear of anything like that? [11:58] Wait, found it :) [11:58] Bacta: thats a setting of the window manager. its in the gnome settings somewhere... [11:58] Some help with terminal commands?

Do I simply type the loc into the terminal? [12:00] chrisss: you really may want to spend an hr reading some bash basics tutorals.. yes. its saying 'cd' to where the source dir is at.

Well normally I don't install BETA stuff so that may be why I didn't bother this [12:07] pedrocr, you'll only get the speed of the ethernet that its connected by. Not the actual speed of the adsl line. For that you'll need to access your adsl's interface (its usually a web interface) [12:08] pedrocr, what Ollie is saying is that it really doesnt matter anyway, as your lan will always be faster than your adsl [12:08] is there a way to get it how i want it ? [12:08] b3rz3rk3r: I know I don't want the eth0 speed that will just be 100Mbps [12:09] pedrocr, so you want your line speed? just run a speed test [12:09] Ollie: I'll do that, I was wondering if there was something easier as the ethernet interface where the modem is on doesn't have routing or IP assigned so I'll have to muck about with ifconfig/route to set it up, no problem though [12:09] its usually the ip of your gateway, you can get that from the route command: route -n [12:09] Dr_Willis: if that is the only bug I don't mind [12:09] pedrocr: use ifconfig to get your standard-gateway. (this shout be the ip-adress of your modem) then open your web-brofser and type that ip in. [12:09] nagios and munin, which is better?Im torn between the two [12:09] then access http://{gateway ip/ [12:09] that normally is the way to do it [12:10] dreamfire: it's an actual modem not a router so there is no gateway it runs ppp over ethernet [12:10] pedrocr, default is 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1 depend on manufacturer [12:10] anyone know how I can select my sound output device? I have a headset plugged in but the sound comes from the laptop speakers and the headset, also kmix fails me [12:10] b3rz3rk3r, i've also seen 192.168.x.254 [12:10] Ollie: that's what I have to do but first I need to setup 192.168.1.0 to be eth0 [12:10] no biggie [12:11] Ollie, yeah, true.. thats more rare though no? [12:11] pedrocr: ahh ok. so shoud have configured the ip of the modem in your ppp connection! [12:11] very rare, but it happens :) [12:11] dreamfire: I wonder if that will screw up the ppp though [12:11] actually, i believe the modem ip is going to be 192.168.100.1 [12:11] i want to install this! how?? http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=107158&forumpage=6&PHPSESSID=167fcf31a9a65fcb876dab9d512c823f [12:11] dreamfire: no, ppp over ethernet doesn't use IP even, just raw ethernet frames I think [12:11] dreamfire: but the modem will respond to IP so I just have to set that up [12:12] how [12:12] pedrocr: hmm. how have you configured your modem? [12:12] lol dream, thats what im wondering [12:12] j2daosh: :) [12:13] dreamfire: normal pppoe, you give it an interface (eth0) and it negotiates the pppoe over that interface [12:13] dreamfire: the ppp files are encapsulated directly in ethernet frames so the interface doesn't actually need routing setup [12:14] pedrocr: yes, thats tricky. what type/brand of modem do you have? [12:15] dreamfire: it's no problem I just have to setup routing and then it will answer to 192.168.1.1 [12:16] pedrocr: ok, try that :) [12:17] Bonjour à tous [12:17] pedrocr: ethtool [12:18] samitheberber: thanks, I forgot about that one [12:18] samitheberber: doesn't work on ppp0 though and of course on eth0 it just shows 100Mbps [12:19] can anyone recommend a good file manager for kde ?

[12:24] lb_, just a guess, but if its a subscript within a script you will need to escape the $ [12:24] Ollie: Thanks.

[12:38] << noob [12:38] There are 64bit intel chips and 32bit amd's :) [12:38] bubs: no, amd64 is 64-bit ALL, covers amd and intel [12:38] do not listen to him [12:38] a quick question [12:38] !amd64 [12:38] ok i'll stfu lol [12:38] AMD64 and EMT64 are fully supported architectures on Ubuntu.

[12:39] I have been trying out recordmyDesktop but the output video is extremely choppy [12:39] should i install ubunt-desktop and then install apache, mysql, samba [12:39] chrisss1: the netbook remix's are 32bit i think.. but that IS a 64bit cpu i belive [12:39] bibstha: there's no shoulds here, we are all friends. [12:39] or should i install ubuntu-server and then install gnome-desktop? [12:39] chrisss1: i use the UbuntuNetbook remix on my AAO netbook [12:39] rsk, so what do u suggest? [12:40] bibstha: you are free to do whatever you want, i dont get why you ask this :) [12:40] Dr_Willis: So amd64? [12:40] chrisss1: flip a coin.. it dosent matter mch. :) if you have a netbook.. you may want to check out the Netbook Remix edition. [12:40] rsk, download wize.. which would be lighter on my slow internet.. [12:40] Dr_Willis: I'm using UNR too, but I need to download a .deb file, that is available in both amd64 and i386. [12:40] bibstha: if you want desktop with server, I think first desktop then server programs [12:40] hi all [12:40] hu... to create a new user a useradd and passwd are enough no? [12:40] kanus: can u find them in your application bar, on the top of the screen under " applications - add\remove" ? [12:40] chrisss1: thats a DIFFERNT problem then. :) You need the package that matches what you isntalled... [12:41] bibstha: order cd from shipit for free [12:41] samitheberber, um lesser download this way i think [12:41] chrisss1: UNR = 32bit i belive [12:41] chrisss1: I'd say 32bit because it is no point hassling everything for a netbook. [12:41] rsk i got both server one and desktop one [12:41] ... [12:41] br34l: i thet i can´t find everythink [12:41] Dr_Willis, leaf-sheep: So get the i386 .deb? [12:41] can login with command line but not with gdm [12:41] br34l: sry in that [12:41] chrisss1: sure why not.. try it.. [12:41] chrisss1: That would be the ideal way... because it's a netbook we're talking about. [12:42] chrisss1: worse comes to worse.. you download the otehr if it dont work. [12:42] Ah, thanks.

[13:42] GPL: did you find the resolution? [13:42] hi, I had jaunty a cople of days ago and it would keep giving me random crashes over and over again. I've upgraded to karmic and I am still getting those. Basically X stops responding to anything but the mouse cursor can move. I have an i855 graphic card, Does anyone know a solution to this ? [13:42] remfarkas: you don't need to use a chroot to add a name server [13:42] sorry about that [13:42] remfarkas: just update your resolv.conf file in th eOS [13:42] scizzo-, yeah I do ...and I am playing a quicktime move now [13:42] i need chroot to use internet [13:43] dhruvasagar__: i am not getting you, resolution of what ?

[13:43] ikonia, ok, I had the same issue with jaunty [13:43] GPL: for your xorg settings problem ? [13:43] MindSpark: sounds like hardware then if multiple distros are crashing [13:43] remfarkas, the same way you don on a regular environment, editing /etc/resolv.conf on your chroot [13:43] coz_: check if .mov is listed in the about:plugins [13:43] MindSpark: unless you can be specific about the crashes [13:43] atm it cant resolve any adress so apt-get or aptitude fails [13:43] ikonia, I just upgraded because I thought this would solve the problem [13:43] MindSpark: alpha release distros are not a good idea [13:44] scizzo-, it sure is version 7.2.0 [13:44] is there any way to install ubuntu server with a raid 5 setup, my motherboard supports raid but ubuntu keeps installing on just one disk instead of all 3 [13:44] dhruvasagar__: Nope, i just copied and pasted ... that is written in that documentation : No editing on my end. [13:44] ikonia, there's not much to say except that the keyboard becomes useless, nothing works except for the cursor of the mouse moving around the screen. [13:44] GPL: try adding >Identifier "layout1"< (without <>) before the InputDevice in ServerLayout [13:44] juicebox: your motherboard supports fake raid - which is a poor raid product and has very bad support. Also /boot cannot be on raid 5 [13:44] Hello [13:44] and i need chroot to restore kernels somehow.. i managed to remove them with a command i used on 8.10 [13:44] and I have to do the sysrq/r/u/i/t/k/b method [13:44] scizzo-, these movies play fine http://www.spacetoday.org/STOmovies.html === maximo_ is now known as Nasra [13:44] MindSpark: check the num lock key - does that still turn the light on/off on the keyboard [13:44] tonii : sure.

[13:45] GPL: the line before, that is [13:45] I had logged in as dhruvasagar and got disconnected, now I am unable to log back in as dhruvasagar it says its already in use, what do I do? [13:45] ikonia, ok, I'll have to wait till the next crash, but I don't think so ? what would that indicate ? [13:45] where can I look for logs ? [13:45] Guest81632: type on the network - that will tell you if it's connected [13:45] secret === Nasra is now known as Maximo [13:45] MindSpark: the numlock light gives you an idea to the state of the hang [13:45] ikonia: ugh.. so is there a way to use raid 5 on the server? [13:45] tonii : layout1 or Layout1 [13:45] dhruvasagar__: wait for it to time out [13:45] anyone already experienced a desktop crash just afer login redirecting the user to the login page? [13:45] juicebox: you can use fake raid - but it's very bad support [13:45] Dr_Willis: ok [13:46] juicebox: you'd also have to make sure /boot was not on a raid5 partition [13:46] dhruvasagar__: or register your nick If you register you could recover it. [13:46] Dr_Willis: my nick dhruvasagar is registered [13:46] GPL: doesn't really matter [13:46] ikonia, I am not sure if that works. I think I have tried that... [13:46] dhruvasagar__: then msg nickserv help and learn how to use nickserv to recover it [13:46] Guest81632: not sure if what works ? [13:46] dhruvasagar__: or just wait about 4 min [13:46] i hav a prob [13:46] ikonia: would it be better to use software raid? [13:46] Dr_Willis: ok [13:46] coz_: is it telling you something like text/html decoder not installed? [13:46] ventti: ok :) [13:47] dhruvasagar__, /msg nickserv help ghost [13:47] scizzo-, yes it is [13:47] juicebox: software raid in linux is excellent, but you still have to make /boot not on raid 5 [13:47] my laptop speaker is not working [13:47] ikonia, I am not sure if it actually shows me if I am still connected. I have tried some python-lines with which I look for the actual server-name for example. And even when the ethernet isn't connected, it still shows me the name of the server I was connected to before [13:48] suggestme [13:48] I WILL HAKC INTO YOU BRAIN AND DELETE YOUR MOM [13:48] Guest81632: join #xchat and ask them then, theyknow about plugins [13:48] base3: please stop [13:48] ikonia, https://bugs.launchpad.net/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/378147 <--- this is basically it [13:48] base3, stop that [13:48] base3: this channel is for ubuntu support discussion only [13:48] ikonia: so /boot is on it's own logical partition and then the rest of the system can be on raid? [13:48] ikonia: ok [13:48] juicebox: correct === dhruvasagar__ is now known as dhruvasagar [13:48] ikonia, okay, I will try there. Thanks [13:49] scizzo-, is there a solution to this? [13:49] great I am back [13:49] MindSpark: looks interesting [13:49] ikonia: do you know of any setup guides for server edition and how to setup software raid? [13:50] if I try to go fullscreen in any video on any site say eg) youtube, firefox crashes [13:50] juicebox: search for ikonia's threads on ubuntu forums, I've put two threads up which talk about setting up raid [13:50] ikonia: Thanks! [13:50] juicebox: also - you may want to consider using the desktop version if this is on home hardware as the desktop edition makes an excellent server [13:51] evolution crashes quite a lot in jaunty [13:51] ikonia, yea, tell me about it, mostly interesting when I've been working for hours and hours and this totally crashes my concentration. === janne is now known as Skiessi [13:51] MindSpark: have you tried the notes in the bug report ?

[14:11] i have ever try [14:11] jerome__92: check the pm ubottu sent you [14:11] but don't work [14:11] jerome__92: what doesn't [14:11] tjc, you can also try the madwifi driver, ath_pci [14:11] i don't know it's because i need help [14:11] tjc, I have an atheros, I am using ath5k from the backports package, I can randomly connect :P [14:12] jerome__92: READ the information url's that ubottu sent you [14:12] jerome__92: it WILL help you [14:12] tjc: atheros chipset? use the linux-backports! cured tha trounle on my acer netbook [14:12] removed lines and its still trying to download from there -.- [14:12] stefg: yes, i'd given up making the broadcom work natively after a few hours tempering, i'm on ndiswrapper now. === danopia_ is now known as danopia [14:12] remfarkas: something seems quite wrong there then [14:12] ikonia: can't do that, this is vps [14:12] remfarkas, sudo apt-get update first [14:12] stefg, unfortunatelly, it's a broadcom 1418 if i'm not mistaken [14:13] thats what i'm doing [14:13] dwarder: then we can't help you if you have no access to it [14:13] dwarder: contact your hosting provided to help [14:13] dwarder, your vps should provide console acess to the server [14:13] remfarkas, paste.ubuntu.com with the sources.list please [14:13] so I'm unsure if the madwifi stuff would be of help to me ;/ [14:13] joaopinto: they provide ssh console :) [14:13] web console [14:13] dwarder, I mean a local tty console [14:13] dwarder: contact your hosting provider then === omnipotentduo is now known as omni-work [14:14] ok? thanks [14:14] i mean just ok [14:14] Hello! [14:14] without ? [14:14] it's the BCM4318 chipset [14:14] dwarder, only they can help you :) [14:14] weird thing I had it working sterling on my previous installations - 8.04 and 8.10 [14:15] tjc, did you search on launchpad for bugreports ? Sometimes you can find workarounds there [14:15] I am having a problem with 9.04 desktop. It runs fine off the live CD but after installation (with automatic and manual partitioning) it displays either Error 16, Error 17, or Error 18 on a reboot. I've done the install 3-4 times each on 2 different drives. [14:16] http://paste.ubuntu.com/257506/ [14:16] joaopinto, yes, the only hint i found was to change the timeout variable in /etc/wpa_supplicant/functions.sh ( i've changed it to rather high - 60s ), it's apparently worked for somebody. [14:17] GreenSkunk: And you are familiar with how to manually do partitioning? (just checking) [14:17] tjc: unfortunately the jaunty kernel is far from perfect and has some serious regressions... intel video owners can sing a song 'bout that [14:17] Hi does anyone know a work around for ubuntu's keyserver i'm trying to add a repo and can't connect to the key server to get the key [14:18] linXea: Yes. I usually setup *nix servers but it has been years since I've done a desktop installation [14:18] looking for a mainline ppa for the kernel [14:18] is there such thing [14:18] remfarkas: nope [14:18] and not this onehttp://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ <- [14:18] GreenSkunk: As I said... just checking.. [14:18] rsk: you're out of luck [14:18] Greenskunk - error 16: 16 : Inconsistent filesystem structure [14:18] This error is returned by the filesystem code to denote an internal error caused by the sanity checks of the filesystem structure on disk not matching what it expects. This is usually caused by a corrupt filesystem or bugs in the code handling it in GRUB. [14:18] stefg, do you reckon that manual wireless configuration would be of any help? i.e. i'd get rid of networkmanager ( could you point me to some good tuturial/howto ) ? or it wouldn't matter since it's the problem that the kernel has ? [14:18] k === taube is now known as Taube [14:19] remfarkas, all the security updates are commented out, do you have another file in /etc/apt/ [14:19] remfarkas, also check sources.list.d [14:19] linXea: do you think it could be the controller? This is a new system build with nothing on it. [14:19] i cant get my web cam work in skype [14:19] someone said i did not mount dev and proc i think [14:20] Can someone tell me why I can't install b43-fwcutter? My laptop just can't connect downloads.openwrt.org. [14:20] mount -o remount,dev /path/to/filesystem [14:20] tjc: network-manager is a troublemaker in itself. I'd replace it with wicd anyway, even if that won't solve the root cause of your bug... but gives you a better strting point [14:20] i found this [14:20] remfarkas, that has nothing to do with this [14:20] ventti: I haven't done any checks with GRUB. any recommendations ? [14:20] i cant get my web cam work in skype [14:20] http://michael-prokop.at/blog/2007/10/27/could-not-set-non-blocking-flag/ [14:20] !skype | groza [14:20] groza: To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto - Please use open protocols instead if you can, see !Ekiga [14:21] i have installed skype [14:21] groza, is your webcam supported in ubuntu [14:21] but when i go to options and click test its sows green [14:21] groza: read the article, there's a webcam troubleshooting section in it [14:21] stefg, will give it a try.

[14:22] is there a way of adding a repo but having it ignore the fact it has no key to it? [14:23] bazhang nah,...it used to show my wifi strength [14:23] now it doesnt [14:24] openstandards: you just have to go through a nagbox every time you update the package list or install something from that repo [14:24] simran, not sure which applet you are referring to [14:24] If I try to install b43 fwcutter with command "sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter" my laptop says it can't connect to download.openwrt.org [14:24] i know what you mean simran - theres no option to add it. what happens if you reboot and then connect wirlessly? will it reappear? [14:24] what to do. I'm using 8.04 [14:25] BeGu_: ask the openwrt folks [14:25] BeGu_: you have to be connected to internet (via wired for example) to install that package [14:25] http://michael-prokop.at/blog/2007/10/27/could-not-set-non-blocking-flag/ [14:25] erUSUL, that part I understood :) === Guest77792 is now known as rgs__ [14:26] BeGu_: or search in google "offline install b43-fwcutter" === rgs__ is now known as rgs_ [14:26] mount -o remount,dev /path/to/filesystem <-- whats here path to filesystem? my root is / coz of chroot [14:26] BeGu_: it is more convoluted but may be your only option if you can not connect by other means [14:27] BeGu_: other than wireless [14:27] anyone? [14:27] remfarkas: you'll have to leave the chroot first, prepare the chroot by a couple of bind-mounts (/dev, /proc and /sys), then chroot back again [14:28] bazhang : my web cam is suported [14:28] where to mount them and how, so chroot can use them? [14:28] erUSUL, maybe I'll try with that offline installing, thanks for great idea. [14:28] whats a good FPS rating with glxgears? [14:28] coz i can mount them anywhere but i doubt chroot will notice them [14:29] remfarkas: do what stefg says... bind mounts --> sudo mount --bind /dev/ /mnt/your_root/dev adn the same for proc and sys [14:29] zetheroo, depends on ur gfx card [14:29] remfarkas: where is you install mounted (seen from the live CD ) ?

[14:30] my ubuntu install [14:30] erUSUL: oh ok .. is there a good benchmark for Linux? [14:30] / [14:30] remfarkas: as seen outside the chroot [14:30] i must be retarded. I cant seem to get my NAS to mount through the network browser. [14:30] u speak chinese -.- [14:31] remfarkas: chrooting to / makes no sense... / is already your root fs [14:31] however i can browse the NAS via ftp [14:31] remfarkas: i'd mount the hd-install to /mnt ... sudo -i && mount -o bind /dev /mnt/dev && mount -o bind /proc /mnt/proc && mount -o bind /sys /mnf/sys && chroot /mnt [14:31] how do i upgrade skype 2.0 to 2.0.0.13? [14:31] i just did command "sudo chroot /media/disk" in my live cd terminal [14:31] GreenSkunk: Look okay.. Not really nessessary to have different partitions for boot, tmp, usr etc anymore.. partitions for / and for /home is enough. But ofcourse you can do it old school [14:32] remfarkas: then the folder you are chrooting nto is /media/disk [14:32] into* [14:32] groza i loaded the deb manualy on skype.com [14:32] How to start the wizard, that lets us the users change the configuration of tablet pen [14:32] Greenskunk - interesting re error 18: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=11764 [14:32] remfarkas: leave the chroot... ctrl-d [14:32] remfarkas: and is sudo mount --bind /dev/ /media/disk/dev [14:32] xendon : thanks [14:32] remfarkas: do the same for /proc and /sys [14:32] does any1 have a suggestion for choosing a firewall software for ubuntu ?

[15:00] chrisss6: what are you trying to achieve? don't put your system at risk for nothing [15:00] How do I run/install/open a ".run" file? [15:00] ventti: possibly [15:00] ventti: but i doubt it [15:00] ventti: the light goes off on the modem [15:01] b3rz3rk3r:it worked in ubuntu [15:01] dropped but back now. miss any reply? [15:01] stefg: I want programs to run/load more smoothly. [15:01] brk3: it isnt ubuty but indeed the isp [15:01] Ubu shouldnt kill a connection dur to inactivuty [15:01] Oh don't worry found out [15:01] Chris220, , chmod +x atidriver.run then ./atidriver.run [15:01] for example === Bewba is now known as Bubs [15:01] brk3: you can add cron ping to google each 20 minutes [15:02] chrisss6: what's wrong with the current situation ? anything particular to blame? [15:02] Zelfje: ok ill try that [15:02] Chris220, make it executable (right click, properties, permissions, tick) then use "sh filenamehere.run" [15:02] thanks [15:02] yw [15:02] groza, what are you running now then? [15:02] stefg: Firefox takes like, 5 seconds to load. [15:02] chrisss6: buy more ram and a really quick disk (SSD probably) [15:02] omg 5 seconds [15:03] I KNOW, right?! That's ridiculous. [15:03] I was being sarcastic [15:03] Me too. [15:03] * b3rz3rk3r facepalm [15:03] Zelfje: thing is, should IM programs such as pidgin not be keeping it alive? [15:03] chrisss6: inspect 'free -m' how much ram is used ? [15:04] hi guys, i have a question that i cant seem to find an answer to..is it possible to remove icons that are displayed in workspaces? for example the firefox one. i'd prefer just to have window outlines, no icons [15:05] dk, yes, right click on them and choose remove [15:05] stefg: I'm afraid I don't know which one is RAM, so: Mem: Total, used, free, shared, buffers, cached: 995, 362, 633, 0, 24, 165 [15:05] i did that, i didnt see anything, 1 sec [15:06] stefg: Probably 362. Although there's another row with "-/+ buffers/cache" that has 172 used, and another "Swap" with 0 used. [15:06] nono i mean, i want the workspaces to show on my panel, but i am trying to get them to display jus the window outlines in each workspace, no icons [15:06] dk, wait, u mean in the workspace switcher? [15:06] chrisss6: so you have 1G of ram, 362M is used for programs and 633M is cache [15:07] stefg: Yep, I have 1G ram. Although I'm willing to get 2Gs if it'd help. [15:07] chrisss6: does the last line say that any swap is used? [15:07] dk, no idea.. i really like that feature so i dont mess with it, sry [15:07] np [15:07] stefg: 0 swap used, 956 total and free. [15:07] chrisss6, more ram is always better :p [15:07] b3rz3rk3r: :P [15:08] chrisss6: so increasing swap space will just waste more space that's not being used .. [15:08] hello how can i change the loudness of my subwoofer [15:08] i have googled trying to find forum posts but i havent found anything helpful [15:08] http://pastebin.com/m68db9eb4 [15:08] dk: i don't know how, but i got it displayed with only borders, no icons [15:08] stefg: Ahhh, makes sense. Thanks. I'll go pick up some more RAM when I get the chance, I suppose. [15:08] that is my pulse audio config [15:09] chrisss6: what cpu is that? [15:10] stefg: I'm on a netbook, so Intel Atom. [15:10] hey, I have firefox installed on a mythbuntu installation [15:10] and I've got flash working on it [15:10] chrisss6, u cant really expect performance on a netbook [15:11] but I don 'thave any audio [15:11] my sound works fine in myth [15:11] but I had to configure myth to use ALSA:plughw:0,3 [15:11] is there some equivalent of that for flash? [15:11] hey guys, im trying to port linux on my ipod so i can play ogg files (rockbox doesnt support my model). In the install guide here http://ipodlinux.sourceforge.net/installation.shtml the first step is to find where the devide is visible on the system (mounted) when the "cat /proc/scsi/scsi" command is run i get "Host: scsi11 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00 [15:11] Vendor: Apple Model: iPod Rev: 1.62 [15:11] Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 00" so what does "scsi11" convert to in a mount point? [15:12] How do I run a script everytime I boot the machine, after the network has been brought up. I have tried putting the script in /etc/network/if-up.d/, but appearently, this does not work. How do I solve this? [15:12] allora gente [15:12] chrisss6: you could optimize your partitioning scheme though ... 3 hours of work to come from 5 sec. firefox start to 4,95 sec :-) [15:14] hi all === roaksoax_ is now known as RoAkSoAx [15:14] stefg: Heh, I'll pass. Is there a way to tell how much GBs I allocated to which sda#? I've tried fdisk -l, but I can't decipher the meaning. [15:14] according to the guide "The scsi0 portion indicates the iPod is the first SCSI device and so will be visible as /dev/sda, if on your system you see scsi1 then your iPod would be using device /dev/sdb" so mine is on "scsi11" which would be /dev/sdk from my understanding, but that wont work [15:14] hello, i have some problems with a hard drive... a lot of i/o errors. do you know a special "rsync" made for that? i would like to save everything that I can [15:15] i removed my nvidia driver accidently and i cant "activate" it with dkms, is there any solution for that? [15:15] hey everybody [15:15] chrisss6: run 'sudo apt-get install pastebinit && sudo fdsik -l' and give me the link this command spits out [15:15] chrisss6: taht's 'sudo apt-get install pastebinit && sudo fdisk -l' [15:16] stefg: Couldn't find package pastebin. I'm guessing I need to install something? [15:16] stefg: pastebinit [15:16] chrisss6, pastebinit not pastebin [15:16] damn [15:17] stefg: sorry [15:17] chrisss6: .. pastebinit ... as said [15:17] im on ubuntu jaunty and the game savage lags like hell, although the hardware should do it easily. any ideas?

[15:18] stefg: 9.04 [15:18] ello === hey` is now known as grumete [15:19] WhiteyMc-Tip: i get this also, this is nothing to worry about [15:19] chrisss6: run sudo apt-get update, then try again to sudo apt-get install pastebinit [15:19] masquerade: do you know why it happens [15:19] I keep closing the channel -_- [15:19] guys , Does anybody know computer hardware sites which include picture,review so on..? [15:19] stefg, thx for all the hints, I've made the thing work now using WPA passphrase, it looks like ndiswrapper wouldn't do the trick, so I've tried again with the b43 ( as it now supports broadcom 4318 ), also did the kernel upgrade to 2.26.28-15, and installed the wicd - I'm unsure if the wicd actually solved it, or if it was b43, but it works much smoother with wicd than NetworkManager ;-)) [15:20] Whit2spring, ask in ##hardware ? here is ubuntu support [15:20] Ok, I'm installing the driver now, it's saying "ERROR: You appear to be running an X server; please exit X before installing." What is an X server? [15:20] bazhang, ok sorry [15:21] how can i change the keyring password [15:21] hello everyone [15:21] Chris220: that is your graphical environment. perhaps you need to drop to a text console to install it [15:21] text console? [15:21] does anyone know if it's possible to install windows Vista, then install using Wubi ubuntu on the NTFS partition and then use TrueCrypt to encrypt the NTFS and have the Ubuntu Linux still working ? [15:22] I'm running this install inside of the Terminal [15:22] as root [15:22] I know for a fact that encryption before using Wubi doesn't work but is the same after installing Wubi ? [15:22] I'm concerned about my dhclient repeatedly failing to discover. What can i do about this? http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/257545/ ... it never used to do this, using the same firmware/drivers. It's been like that after a fresh install. [15:22] (installing with Wubi I mean) [15:23] Hi everyone, have recently installed ubuntu 9.04 on to my intel atom set-up. I was hoping to find out how I could set-up xorg to not search for a monitor on start-up. I am trying to run it headless but it keeps coming up with "low graphics error" where it discovers I have no monitor attached and fails to proceed beyond this screen. Any help would be very much appreciated! [15:23] maybe I'll just have to try it and see if the order changes anything [15:24] reaktae1: i'd first verify the hardware by booting the live CD and trying if dhclient fails from there, too [15:24] it's tricky [15:24] where do I setup a built in webcam?

[17:03] Hello All, Noob question here. I recently downloaded and installed Ubuntu 9.0.4 for 64 bit. Browsing the Ubuntu forums I came across the following bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/346691 I have not experienced this bug but this apparently affects linux-image-2.6.28-11-generic kernels. I just checked the Kernel I have installed and its linux-image-2.6.28-15-generic. Does anybody know if this bug was fixed in linux-i [17:04] jmak1: cut off after fixed in linux-i [17:04] jmak1: probably [17:04] I need help setting up audio in a minimal ubuntu 9.04 install on my thinkpad a20m, installed alsa, alsa-oss, and vlc but I can't get sound, I know I'm missing something [17:04] madtychie: run ' sudo blkid' , then run 'cat /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume' Does the UUID match ? [17:05] how do i get a history of recently typed commands in irc [17:05] jmak1: it might be a jfs specific problem.. my system is still running despite having used that kernel [17:05] boingboingbongg: arrow up if your using xchat [17:05] boingboingbongg: it depends on your irc client [17:05] message cut off cont'd - Does anybody know if this bug was fixed in linux-image-2.6.28-15-generic or do I need to upgrade my kernel? Thanks in advance. [17:06] i use pidgin [17:06] Slart: I'm a real noob here, what is jfs? [17:06] jmak1: if your not affected by the bug your safe [17:06] jmak1: it also mentions that this was in a pre-release version of jaunty.. that's what pre-release is about [17:06] jmak1: it's a file system.. like ntfs or fat32... [17:07] g'day y'all! [17:07] Ok, thanks. I'll assume I'm safe for now. [17:07] boingboingbongg: try arrow up. per IdleOne [17:07] hi, I want to get into emacs, so I install it but it opens with a gui, I've heard that there was the console version and the gui one. Any tip on how to run the console one with ubuntu ? [17:07] arrow up. per IdleOne [17:07] hello shamm :-) [17:08] idleone? [17:08] lollan: there is a parameter for it....see emacs --help for that info [17:08] Hello [17:08] boingboingbongg: try using your up arrow to see if the recently type commands/ text come up [17:09] lollan: try emacs21-nox or emacs22-nox, depends on your version of emacs [17:09] Can someone please tell me what software could I use to make a Gantt Diagram? [17:09] no it doesnt [17:09] it gives a system beep [17:09] lollan: something like emacs -nw [17:09] !info planner | dbugger [17:09] dbugger: planner (source: planner): project management application.

As I recall, *uninstall* any flash packages, and install the 64-bit flash directly from Adobe. [17:18] boingboingbongg: the real reason is: all operating systems suck, linux (and ubuntu in particular) just sucks less. And because it takes a while to recognize that, we kill some time in here :-) [17:19] * shamm wanders off to check on StarCraft 2 [17:19] i spend a lot of time messing with things that should just work in both linux and windows [17:20] boingboingbongg: whats the problem? [17:20] how to switch pulseaudio from 4713 port to different ? [17:20] shamm: just don't ask .. ._) [17:20] lol sounds like it was repeated before I came in [17:20] * shamm apologizes [17:21] lo' there shamm don't think I know ya. [17:21] zipito: not perfectly sure offhand, but probably about /etc/pulse* - I'm not in linux atm :( [17:21] starcraftman: no, we don't know each other, but your nick reminds me.. i'm hardcore starcraft player [17:21] MTecknology, I don't understand the link you sent me at all. All I want is the exact name of an app to get from package manager [17:21] !java [17:21] To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository [17:21] I have 3 SATA drives, sda, sdb and sdc. Ubunto runs off sda. There is a hardware raid mirror setup on sdb and sdc. What would be the correct way to mount the mirror raid? [17:21] When i open a .html file , it opens with Mozilla Firefox, but when i try to open a URL / Link, it opens with BlueFish CSS Editor :( [17:22] shamm: you know the only 4 letter word with only 3 letters in Linux, don't you? ATI [17:22] when i´m trying to start dhcp server i get this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/257598/ [17:22] Shoe: For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre [17:22] stefg: gotcha [17:22] ATI isnt that bad, it just takes some configuring [17:22] if I want to run apache/mysql/php, is it recommended to just run a LAMP install ? [17:22] rather than configure my Ubuntu desktop [17:23] Shoe: try sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jre [17:23] shamm: hehehe, not the first. I'm a bit retired atm, if I got back into playing it with SC2, I'd probably neglect doing my studies for uni. Definitely a great game though. [17:23] neverblue: I do a server install and add the extras - but lamp is meant to make things easy [17:23] * stefg is happy to hand over boingboingbongg to phreck to troubleshoot his gfx-cards power consumption [17:23] would it be possible for me to burn UDF volumes in Wine? [17:24] starcraftman: I agree! [17:24] MTecknology: usually I use the Ubuntu Guide, to do the initial setup. They do not give the info on installing/configuring apache/mysql/php anymore, so I am wondering if its not recommended anymore.. [17:24] neverblue: even if you install the pieces yourself - there's really no configuration needed [17:24] stefg, oh crap lol [17:25] Is it the proprietary drivers? [17:25] MTecknology: I don't believe that :D [17:25] yup [17:25] neverblue: welcome to ubuntu ;) [17:25] And how does he know its consuming too much power [17:25] there are dependant packages [17:25] NoelJB: Thanks for the suggestion.

I could use some help... [17:26] ... ahhh ... [17:26] i got a little problem [17:27] is there a way I can burn UDF Volumes properly in Ubuntu and have them work? I'm nearly out of DVDs so thats why I'm asking. =/ don't want to end up wasting a DVD [17:27] hey hey [17:27] i need some help? [17:27] is anybody here?

[17:28] yeah [17:28] madalin: as well as people that can ask questions [17:28] gente pra kct hj [17:28] madalin: help regarding what? [17:28] but i think that is correct tho [17:28] opa wrong channel [17:28] i got a big latency from the moment a type my password to the moment my desktop get ready [17:28] elekitr4: What language is that? [17:29] kct what kind of word is that :D [17:29] MTecknology: well, i´ve asked a little bit later. If you scroll up, you´ll find my questions are there. Unanswered tough. [17:29] bah, i'm out [17:29] !patience | .. [17:29] ..: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. [17:29] i´m having problems with setting up a dhcp server.. and i´m lost.. [17:29] http://www.sabi.co.uk/Notes/linuxHelpAsk.html < good read for people waiting for help [17:29] madalin: ok [17:29] hmm [17:29] MTecknology: now that was very helpfull of you, thank you. I didn´t know that :) [17:29] when did powertop exist? [17:30] i´m just a newbie on IRC and i don´t know any rules at all.. [17:30] but hey, thanks, you rock... [17:30] thanks MTecknology for the replies, i found a good doc now :) [17:30] madalin: what problem are you having? Been a while since I set one up, but ... [17:30] is it just me, or madalin is not utf-8-ing? [17:30] madalin: no problem at all - and if you want to check out your manners... [17:30] I'm not seeing any encoding problems from madalin [17:31] madalin: #ubuntu-server has people there that are more experienced with servers [17:31] odder: i don´t know, i´m using a quassel, never heard about it..looks strange. I have to double press ´ to show it.. [17:31] madalin: first question: are you sure you want a dhcp server running on your ubuntu-server? Wouldn't it be more sensible to run it on the gateway ? [17:31] quassel is oh-sum. [17:31] madalin: best thing for IRC, in my view, is x-chat. Pidgin or Empathy come with Ubuntu. [17:31] now that was a good answer MTecknology, thank you and i mean it. As for my manners, they´re here but when you´re going nuts the only way to solve issues is yell or something.. [17:32] exit [17:32] How could i open a .jar file with "Open JDK" from the console? [17:32] dohj [17:32] stefg: I wanted to suggest that - but for crappy manners I tend to go with the path of least resistance ;) [17:32] Goldenjo, java_vm ? [17:33] Goldenjo: if your system (and the jar) are configured properly: java -jar ${jarname} [17:33] Execute the jar file. [17:33] stefg: sorry, it´s an ubuntu server and i need it to be a gateway. And dhcp sounds like a good ideea [17:33] is the "System Load" in System Monitor based on a 1-10 scale, 10 being full load? [17:33] Goldenjo: e.g., java -jar myapp.jar [17:33] madalin: what's the purpose of that server ? [17:33] hey everyone--is it possible for me to uninstall sudo altogether? [17:33] stefg: sharing internet ?:) [17:34] SmithX: aptitude remove sudo [17:34] stefg: it´s a small radio that has about 10 computers that need internet.. [17:34] MTecknology: will that hurt anything? [17:34] hmm.... [17:34] madalin: and nothing else? no file/printer sharing? [17:34] SmithX, set root password and everything will work [17:34] SmithX: not sure - I don't think so. You'll get a big notification if it might [17:34] stefg: samba sounds good, but i´ll take care of that [17:34] dhcp is the one driving me nuts.. [17:34] SmithX: yes! do that too === aksci is now known as thedancingdeer [17:35] i don't know why you want to remove it tho, sudo is faster than su <: [17:35] when I tried to setup virtualbox from /etc/init.d/virtualbox-ose I got this error from /var/log/v*log: ./virtualbox-ose: 350: /usr/lib/virtualbox/src/vboxdrv/build_in_tmp: not found [17:35] I installed google-earth via apt-get, now how do I remove it? [17:35] stefg: madalin is building a gateway, presumably, that will be connected between a cable modem on one NIC and an intranet on another. [17:35] !ebox | madalin [17:35] madalin: ebox is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server. It is designed to work with Ubuntu/Debian style configuration management. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/eBox [17:35] DaZ-: what do you mean set a root password? [17:35] jiohdi: sudo apt-get remove google-earth [17:35] been there, done that, been a while though. [17:35] I want to open it with the OpenJDK runtime. [17:35] Not the Sun one. [17:35] what should i add in my /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base?? this is my aplay -l: http://tinypaste.com/e9dba [17:35] odder... that seemed too simple :) [17:35] Whart does it mean when i try and fail to see whats on the blank cd "Could not start process. Unable to Create io-slave" [17:35] Hola [17:35] MTecknology: oh, you mean first set a root password and THEN uninstall sudo [17:35] jiohdi: should work, I believe? [17:35] SmithX, sudo passwd root [17:35] Goldenjo: so? any java should support -jar [17:36] Whart does it mean when i try and fail to see whats on the blank cd "Could not start process. Unable to Create io-slave" [17:36] SmithX: ya - I forgot that - good thing DaZ- was watching - coulda fixed it thouhg [17:36] odder, it needs the exact name, is that the same as the installer .bin file? [17:36] hi. my netword card's module is loaded, but eth0 is missing. is this a hardware problem? [17:36] Can anyone think of a reason why I would need sudo if I'm just a single user on my desktop? [17:36] For some unkown reason this .jar ony works with the "Open JDK". [17:36] NoelJB: thx for that backgrounf info ... madalin as loyal as i am to ubuntu i'd rather look at some specialist firewall/gateway distro. IPCop, or its decendent Endian , if not m0n0wall [17:36] *network [17:36] PEOPLE [17:37] SmithX: sudo is easier [17:37] jiohdi: aah, understand, did you try typing google-earth -h in terminal? [17:37] MTecknology: easier than "su -c"? [17:37] Goldenjo: so install and use OpenJDK. Although I'd be curious to know what the deal is. [17:37] SmithX, if you remove password from sudo.. yes [17:37] odder, no such command [17:38] SmithX: you use your password instead of the root password - and it tends to be safer (better logged too) [17:38] stefg: i´m running 9.04 ... it looks like ebox is not working.. [17:38] anyone? my network card worked in this machine before. i switched to wifi for a while then switched back. /dev/eth0 is missing and eth0 is not in ifconfig either, but i can see the card in lspci and the module in lsmod. any ideas? [17:38] jiohdi: google-earth --help maybe? I believe it wants the name + the version [17:38] stefg: it is pretty easily done. I did it from scratch in the past, but I don't know how long it would take for me to dig up the old config. And madalin hasn't said what problem(s) exist. [17:38] Ok. is working with the Sun one, now. [17:38] :-p [17:38] that reminds me.... [17:38] Daz-, MTecknology: why would I ever NOT have a root password for sudo. wouldn't it be unsafe to not? [17:39] shamm: yes? :-) [17:39] downloading Solaris 10 intel [17:39] Goldenjo: good [17:39] NoelJB: take a look at: http://paste.ubuntu.com/257600/ and http://paste.ubuntu.com/257598/ [17:39] odder, do I have to find the installed pkg? probably in usr/bin? [17:39] SmithX, it is somewhat unsafe, but safer than lame root password imo [17:39] is there an easy to to install fonts? [17:39] i have been sent a .ttf [17:39] SmithX: you don't set a root password for using sudo - you grant users permission to users that use their own password instead of others having the root password required to use su [17:40] incorrect, ~/.fonts [17:40] MTecknology: as the only user, I might as well just always run as root [17:40] madalin: i have a working jaunty/ebox server. but i run Endian in a virtualbox vm on that and don't use ebox' gateway features. I don't like having file-server and firewall on the same (logical) machine [17:40] does anyone even know if it SOUNDS like a hardware or software issue? [17:40] :P [17:40] SmithX: .......................................... /me is speachless [17:40] DaZ-, i can just copy into there? [17:40] SmithX: then just use windows... [17:40] madalin: I don't have time to go into details today, so please see: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-and-configure-dhcp-server-in-ubuntu-server.html [17:40] Know of any reliable and basic motherboard that works OK with Linux. [17:40] ? [17:40] jiohdi: I am searching for the solution, wait a sec plz [17:41] !root [17:41] 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 [17:41] incorrect, imo yes [17:41] !runasroot [17:41] Sorry, I don't know anything about runasroot [17:41] LOL @ ubottu [17:41] DaZ-, no reindexing or anything? [17:41] MTecknology, linspire had root user as default [17:41] incorrect, dunno, kde manages them for me :f [17:42] MTecknology: what's the difference between using sudo ot gain root access vs. just running as root?? [17:42] DaZ-: other distros have too - bad idea too... [17:42] jiohdi: ah, i see. the name of the app might be "googleearth" [17:42] DaZ-, works for gnome too! thanks! [17:42] jiohdi: try removing this one [17:42] SmithX: a (remote) attempt to login as root fails [17:42] stefg: a remote app then runs sudo !! [17:43] Hallo, my problem is: Failed to load Main-Class manifest attribute from [17:43] home/edgar/Desktop/pauker-1.8.src.jar [17:43] !ubottu [17:43] Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [17:43] SmithX: having to use sudo makes you think about what your installing/removing. You got to some webpage and they have a .deb for some really cool app and you install it ( running as root all the time ) and it also happens to harvest your bank and credit card info and sends it back to that site. [17:43] java -jar home/edgar/Desktop/pauker-1.8.src.jar [17:43] how do you get your questions noticed in this channel? [17:44] IdleOne: so, say I run as a normal user. I run the script I downloaded, and the script does "sudo" [17:44] SmithX: but you have to know two things: username and password ... ssh root@somebox.foo will always fail on a (standard) ubuntu server. not even brute force works [17:44] SmithX: the difference is not there, the difference is that you do not login as root [17:44] the script can't do sudo without you entering your password [17:44] !runasroot is Never {ever} run as root. It's not safe. For starters, you can accidentally wipe your system clean. You could accidentally delete major files. Worse, you could allow a a flaw in an application to delete your system (most security flaws can allow the attacker to run as the current user only). [17:44] IdleOne, wrong <: [17:44] SmithX: ^ [17:44] Gothfunc: I saw it. You might try asking in #nm [17:44] odder, I tried googleearth -uninstall and it opened the program and locked up my system... the reason I want to uninstall it [17:45] DaZ-: am I? [17:45] jiohdi_: I meant apt-get remove googleearth [17:45] bash-4.0$ sudo echo 'test' [17:45] test [17:45] DaZ-: well - be default IdleOne is right. I doubt he changed sudoers. [17:45] :f [17:45] Hey I want to switch from Windows to Ubuntu, but I don't want to lose my files, how do I upgrade so I keep my files? LoL! [17:45] how would i change what ubuntu labels the joystick axis as? [17:46] like make no3 no4 vice-versa === shamm is now known as LinuxGold [17:46] so basically what everyone is saying is that I do in fact need a password for sudo? [17:46] NoelJB: thanks. were you not going to answer originally? i'm wondering what i'm doing wrong :s [17:46] FredWP_Yeeloong: first thing is to have about half a dozen of backups :-) [17:46] which makes it identical to su -c on a single user system? [17:46] Pfff never mind then. [17:46] odder, E: Couldn't find package googleearth [17:47] after I use "java -jar home/edgar/Desktop/pauker-1.8.src.jar" I get "Failed to load Main-Class manifest attribute from [17:47] home/edgar/Desktop/pauker-1.8.src.jar", how can I fix this problem? [17:47] Gothfunc: not something I would resolve off-hand, but it occurred to me that with no one else answering, there IS a dedicated channel for NetworkManager :-) [17:47] FredWP_Yeeloong: the installed will offer to keep them for you [17:47] NoelJB: gotcha. thanks. [17:47] :) [17:47] edgar4385: that means that the jar file isn't properly setup to run with -jar [17:47] DaZ-: does echo require root to return output? [17:47] given that it is a SOURCE jar, that is no surprise. [17:47] FredWP_Yeeloong: don't switch in one big jump though - just have the installer compress windows and offer a dual boot [17:47] DaZ-: I mean sudo [17:48] thx === kaie is now known as Guest1364 [17:48] Daz-, MTecknology: so basically I should always set a password for sudo? then I might as well just use "su -c" on single user system? [17:48] SmithX: you have a password for yourself - that's your password to run sudo [17:48] <__theIdiotBox> hello everyone [17:49] MTecknology: if I don't set a passwd for sudo, then anything I run as a normal user essentially has root access [17:49] IdleOne, http://wklej.org/id/138517/ this is how it looks by default [17:50] SmithX: I think you're confused...... [17:50] SmithX: you don't set a password for sudo OR su [17:50] as you can see it doesn't require any password :f [17:50] SmithX: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [17:50] MTecknology: I mean a root password [17:50] SmithX: you CAN set a password for the root account which by default has noen [17:50] MTecknology: i think someone who dismisses the thought of doing a backup before doing a potentially dangerous operation isn't definitely ready for linux .... no vendor to sue for lost files :-) [17:50] And how do I set it up to run? [17:50] by default is disabled <: [17:50] NoelJB [17:51] stefg: :P - I'm not much on backups [17:51] stefg: I've been using linux for 3 years--I've never made any kind of "dumb" mistake as root [17:51] edgar4385: yes? [17:51] And how do I set it up to run? [17:51] A question about "planner". Is it possible to insert a task with a starting date sooner than "today"? (I know, planning should be done before starting to work... my bad) [17:51] SmithX: your time will come :-) [17:51] edgar4385: ah, you probably can't, since it sounds like a SOURCE jar. [17:52] The FAQ for the files sais itś possible [17:52] hi there, I have changed my network proxy and applied it system-wide. When I do a sudo apt-get install ..... it still looks for the proxy [17:52] stefg: if that was for me - it's come - many times over [17:52] with the command I've posted already [17:52] edgar4385: I'd have to look, but off-hand, I'd suggest going back to http://sourceforge.net/projects/pauker/files/ and downloading the non-src jar. [17:52] odder? [17:53] ... [17:53] SmithX: nobody keeps you from setting up a root password and using a root account... if you're clever enough to do that, you're probably ready for it. Take it as an intelligence test: if you don't know how to enable root, you should rather not use that :-) [17:53] How does one find the 0x000 id of his nvidia card? [17:53] MTecknology, DaZ-: so is there anything wrong with my reasoning, "anything I run as normal user essentially has root access if I don't see a root password?" [17:53] xase: lspci is your friend, most likely. [17:53] SmithX: ya - that's not tru at all [17:54] SmithX: nothing has root access unless you run sudo or su [17:54] Well I gather that, I just don't know how to get it to yield that result NoelJB [17:54] MTecknology: but if the normal user can run sudo, then it's the same thing [17:54] SmithX: but sudo will ask for your own password to confirm. [17:54] SmithX: but you need to give it a password [17:55] grawity: you said earlier the password is the user password [17:55] SmithX: Yeah? [17:55] it works, thanks NoelJB [17:55] I'm sorry, I meant MTecknology said that [17:55] SmithX: without enabled the root account - su won't work so sudo is the only option - you have to enter your password for it to run [17:55] edgar4385: what worked? the non-source? [17:55] good [17:55] yes [17:56] MTecknology: now where back where I started--so I might as well just use "su -c" [17:56] I'm going to gather that 0x360A is the code... and just head from there. 8200M Geforce [17:56] SmithX: you're free to do absolutely whatever you want with your system. It's yours... My bestest bestest suggestion is to trust the security experts that make these desicions... [17:56] But I know that's a wrong number [17:56] SmithX: this system is about to lock up for ~5min and I'll take a shower so I'll need to take off [17:57] SmithX: You are free to use su -c if you want -- sudo is just preferred by many because it 1) doesn't require having the root password (the root account is locked), 2) allows fine-grained configuration. [17:57] MTecknology: it wasn't a security expert who made the decision, it was a user interface (ease of use) decision to create sudo, as aI understand it [17:57] 0x02e110de I'm looking to yield a number similar to this for my nvidia. [17:57] Please help. [17:57] SmithX: my dumbest mistake was cleaning a /home -dir with rm -rf ... but forgetting that a windows partition was still mounted in a subdir there :-) .... luckily i have a working backup regime [17:57] anyone know how to fix the cups-pdf printer? It's supposed to go to ~/PDF, but nothing shows up there. I've reinstalled cups-pdf and the printer shows fine, but no output === Chris220 is now known as Chris220|afk [17:57] stefg: I do understand the "prevent against dumb mistakes" part of it--what I'm mainly concerned with is the "security from an external point of view" part of it [17:58] SmithX: gksudo is ease of use - sudo itself offers MANY security benefits [17:58] SmithX: What security problems does sudo have, in your opinion? [17:58] SmithX: this conversation is going beyond the scope of this channel - #ubuntu-hardened [17:58] MTecknology: cool, I'll check it out [17:59] ) [17:59] My DELETE key stopped working after I spilled beer all over my laptop. I know that's sort of not really in the realm of #ubuntu, but does anyone have any suggestions? ;) [17:59] grawity: I'm going to try taking this to #ubuntu-hardenede [17:59] burkmat: Remap the Delete key elsewhere? [17:59] grawity: How would I do that easily? [17:59] burkmat: laptop or other? [17:59] burkmat: And get another beer? [17:59] burkmat: beer and internet don't go together [17:59] MTecknology: Laptop. [18:00] burkmat: neutralize the beer with some high voltage wodka ? [18:00] burkmat: drink some more and maybe everything can get deleted [18:00] grawity: dont worry, I got plenty of other beers that night, but waking up with semidead keyboard wasnt too fun =( [18:00] burkmat: you can wash your keyboard with water and let it dry for a week or two to make sure it is ereallt dry [18:00] IdleOne: Last time I bring the laptop to the bar. :P [18:00] burkmat: About remapping - I have never tried that, but I think you need 'xmodmap', some Google, and a key you never use. [18:00] burkmat: turn system off - pull keyboard out (carefully) attempt to wash clean in just water, let dry fully, put back together, hope for best [18:00] grawity: Alright, will look into that. Thanks. [18:01] burkmat: i'd map DEL to CAPS LOCK with a xmodmap :-) nobody needs CAPS LOCK anyway [18:01] stefg: Better map Caps to Compose [18:01] hello! someone could help me please ? [18:01] stefg: will try :P [18:02] ! ask | str4k3rias [18:02] str4k3rias: 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. :-) [18:03] !beer [18:03] Beer is always appreciated. [18:03] heheh [18:03] Eh, worth a shot. :P [18:03] hello!

And *ONLY* HP, due to their dedicated driver support. If someone else knows a printer/scanner vendor that gives a damn about linux, let me know. [18:13] another, other than HP, I mean. [18:13] Canon certainly doesn't.

There are a couple, out of the many, very specific HP printer models that are not supported. [18:14] NeoBlaster: for printers Canon does excellent drivers, and so does Epson. [18:14] thx I'll look into HP [18:14] NeoBlaster: and brother MFC are usually well supported [18:14] helo [18:14] be back ... bug 417041 is driving me nuts. going to see if Empathy has the problem.

I'm in HS [18:26] looking for the media devs config in amarok - no such item [18:27] charliehorse: depends on what you tell the installer to do... if you format it, it will be gone [18:27] halp? :) [18:27] If I mount a partition on /var/backups, what happens to any files in that directory? [18:27] ubottu i'll go try, gotta go all the best [18:27] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [18:27] amarok? [18:27] spursncowboys: no, not of sp-auth.

If my user folder is evantandersen, and tell the new ubuntu install to use evantandersen and my home folder, will it be overwritten? or will it stay? [18:28] LinuxGold: what are you looking for? [18:28] charliehorse: Im the same way -- K-8 [18:29] NoelJB: looking for more advices in what software I can use to ease my pressure -- I'm currently running Spiceworks [18:29] LinuxGold - I also setup people's home theatres, install backup systems. [18:29] 3 windows servers and 1 Ubuntu 9.04 server running Windows XP guest with Spiceworks [18:29] charliehorse: cool! [18:30] LinuxGold - are you looking for a Virtual Machine program or a VNC program. What is spiceworks? [18:30] charliehorse: rather do a backup first :-) . if you tell the installer the right filesystem and choose not to format it will write to the /home/[userame] folder that you give to the installer. so better use a different username [18:31] LinuxGold: ah ... what features do you need? SNMP monitoring? MRTG type behavior or NAGIOS type behavior? [18:31] And what do you like/not like about spiceworks? [18:31] hello #ubuntu [18:31] charliehorse: It is awesome network scanner that finds workstations, printers, what software was installed and all that. It also have IT help-desk that creates a ticket and attach to device on what problem it has [18:31] i just set up server 8.04 and i cant seem to find the php6 package [18:31] LinuxGold, if vnc go with freenx [18:31] NoelJB: I already got Cacti on Ubuntu server. -- [18:31] mythomaniac: I am running Virtualbox [18:31] is there one? or do i need to manual instal [18:32] do freenx run vm at bootup?

[18:33] LinuxGold - my tech support is more local - I get a phone call.... go to house, fix computer, make $$ [18:33] NoelJB: I'm trying to fix network -- network-map on spiceworks isn't that great -- my school budget wouldn't allow me to buy professional network mapper [18:34] charliehorse: what's the problem? Just copy the / partition or the relevant subtrees to the SSD and boot from that instead. [18:34] LinuxGold: OpenNMS? Nagios? [18:34] NoelJB: I do not have time to do console thingie [18:34] Walex That would work? Okay. What dir should I not copy. I assume /mnt and /tmp. Anything else [18:34] stefg, i take it the only way for php6 is a manual build? [18:34] Walex: I'll check Nagios out === Fringe is now known as lol [18:35] Hello, I have an odd issue I'm wondering if someone could shed some light on, I'm out of ideas. I run Ubuntu 8.04 LTS. apt-get is painfully slow when downloading large files. It starts out fast (8MB/sec) and goes down to under 25B/sec. [18:35] LinuxGold: Nagios has manual config, but there are a numver of network discovery frontends. === lol is now known as Floops[w] [18:35] Walex: got any frontends that you recommendthe most? [18:36] I've tried using apt-mirror to make my own local repo, it starts out downloading fast, but that too, starts to be Bytes/second if I "du" the directory and watch the size. [18:36] LinuxGold: I configure it manually. There are some important Nagios features that the frontends don't do a good job with. uBut one can do a scan first and then fix. [18:36] charliehorse: that's doable ... but it's best done from a Live CD environment. Do you want to reinstall? Actually that's not necessary [18:36] bobsomebody: semms so [18:36] I've used multiple mirrors with the same issue [18:36] Walex: ok thanks for the advice [18:36] oh well, thanks for the info [18:36] LinuxGold: See also www.icinga.org/. NAGIOS is forking. ICINGA is the community, NAGIOS is the one-man band. [18:37] hi [18:37] stefg I'm in the LiveCD right now.... I've formatted the SSD with proper alignment for highspeeds. I can just copy the / folder over? [18:37] LinuxGold: some people also like Zenoss and Zabbix.

I got a new HD last week and set up 3 partitions: one for windows, one for ubuntu, and one for storage. i installed windows, installed ubuntu, everythign was fine. after tinkering with Ubu for a while, I realized I didn't really care much for it and decided to delete the partition and add that unallocated space to my windows partition. now i cant boot into windows.. grub error 17 [18:47] any ideas?

[18:48] beer_: since you are going away from linux entirely, you can run the windows install disk to repair the MBR. [18:48] I just started to use ubuntu [18:48] I am totally new to this OS [18:48] wonder if anyone can help: my 'add/remove programs' menu item has disappeared - not sure how to re-enable it. gnome-app-install is still installed, it's just the menu option which is gone [18:48] hello, i'm trying to learn to write C++ for linux. So i got an audio library called Faust. It uses alsa-gtk. what do i have to install in synaptic to get started developing? i searched gtk, but so many different packages are available [18:48] NoelJB: You think repair should work? [18:48] hope fully I will learn too much from you guys [18:48] beer_: Do you have the Windows install CD? If yes, boot from it, go to recovery console, and use 'fixmbr' command. [18:48] beer_: you need to reinstall the windows mbr instead of grub. this is done by booting the windows install cd, getting recovery console and run fixmbr. [18:48] beer_: Is it XP or Vista? [18:48] rojoloco47: you will, indeed! [18:48] Vista [18:49] Thank you LinuxGold :) [18:49] beer_: XP: fixmbr, fixboot.

I have installed xampp on ubuntu 9.04 which appears to run fine, but when I installed Joomla, I get an error about php setup saying that php configuration file is non-executable. Since it is own by root, how would I change that root file to be an executable? [18:50] NoelJB: oki, what about the system / administration / sound utility?

[19:13] how to start private chat in here ? [19:13] rojoloco47: /msg message [19:13] djalmafilho, it could be because priority messages would be held in the queue - and that way, they're not helpful. just a guess.

[19:43] !ask | rianth [19:43] rianth: 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. :-) [19:43] Rianth: here is a good place to start. [19:43] I have no sound on my panasonic toughbook in ubuntu but I have it on windows xp [19:43] Spike1506: be aware that there's no gui yet for setting system wide EQ..you have to guess values, re-login to check, correct them in the config-file , save, re-login.... takes some audio-engineer craftsmanship [19:44] hi! how did people get the idea to use ubuntu as a server os actually? (seriously want to know this, no rant intended.)

[19:46] wlangford: there is an example in the /etc/sudoers file. [19:46] asg: LTS = Long Term Support ? what's wrong with debian stable then? [19:47] Hm. That'll make a security hole, correct? Is there a way to only allow that user to perform a single command with it? [19:47] so about no sound? I see pulse audio load and I see the sound meter move when I run speaker test but I hear no sound [19:47] hey, i keep getting an error message that says "invalid boot.ini file" when i try to boot from an ubuntu 9.04 cd. Anyone know how to get around that? [19:47] stefg: http://pastebin.com/d274508c3 but that is the problem, i do not want to run it with bash, it is not a script [19:47] Er, a single command w/o a password. [19:47] !debian | datenritter [19:47] datenritter: Ubuntu and Debian are closely related.

My servers all run debian but I don't know when a release is going to happen and so cannot easily identify my upgrade paths .. we are talking about hundreds of servers, not just a few so that takes quite a bit of time.) [19:48] Rianth, you might need to make sure that your internal speakers are enabled in the mixer. [19:48] Rianth, alsamixer is a common tool to resolve the issue. === fakeer2 is now known as fakeer [19:48] the cd works on my laptop but gives the invalid boot.ini on my desktop.

I haven't tried with OOo, but gedit has no complaints [19:58] hola a tod@s [19:58] asg: i don't see your problem. afaik debian hunts for stability, ubuntu has different primary goals. why are release dates important to you? can't you just decide when to change from oldstable to stable? [19:58] que tal se os da manejar ubuntu [19:58] asg: or are you dependant on certain software versions somehow? [19:58] alguno me da algunos consejos? [19:58] datenritter: they said the same thing when mandrake forked off of redhat [19:59] need_help, `man chattr` -- see the 4th paragraph under Attributes [19:59] bucky: so...? [19:59] I want to change my resolution, but I can't see the particular resolution I want in the gtk app. What should I do? [19:59] Stormx2: same result without uid&gid [20:00] Gah, I never use vim. How do I add text in it? [20:00] datenritter: the problem is that oldstable becomes unsupported after 18 months or when a new release occurs. I'm often making decisions many years out and that can be a problem. That's all I'm saying.. It may not be a problem for you. [20:00] NoelJB :P actually i check that but i need more info [20:00] sofiankrt, man xrandr [20:00] in the volume control I can see my device AD198x Analog moving when I run speaker test [20:00] datenritter: you haven't given me a compelling reason why there shouldn't be yet another linux distribution... go make one of your own for all i care [20:00] NoelJB: I've tried xrandr, but I can't figure out what my "output" is [20:00] just dont hear anything [20:01] sofiankrt, do you know what video card you have?

[20:03] sofiankrt, as appropriate for your display device. [20:03] asg: no flamewar intended. from what i just read, every release of ubuntu becomes unsupported after 18 months as well? [20:03] |Brenden|: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop for gnome [20:03] |Brenden|: xubuntu-desktop for xfce4 and kubuntu-desktop for kde [20:03] bucky: actually i ignore most distributions for simplicity in life. ;) === xor1 is now known as xor [20:03] oh, I get a system beep from my headphones [20:04] datenritter, no, there are LTS releases with years of support.

[20:05] ok, so I have sound on my headphones.... now to get it to my speakers.... [20:05] I keep getting this message telling me I need a text/html decoder plugin. === Odin is now known as th0r [20:05] When Ubuntu searches for it, it never finds it. [20:05] datenritter: the usual desktop release has a 18 month lifecycle. LTS releases are supported 3 years on the desktop, 5 years on the server. Every 2 years a new LTS is released. That's mor predictable than debian and gives you 2 years of time to plan your upgrade path [20:05] stefg: thx [20:06] xor: I think that is just for the latest movies, ie they aren't posted yet and the server is 404 [20:06] datenritter: http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu [20:06] sofiankrt, what is the native resolution of your display? [20:06] danbhfive: I tried with older movies and the result was the same [20:06] hiya [20:07] NoelJB: I'm not sure; it's a friend's computer. Though the monitor looks like 1024x768 would be ok for it [20:07] danbhfive: I actually tried with movies I'd already seen, and I got the same message. [20:07] sofiankrt, xrandr -s 1024x768 ought to work, then. [20:08] stefg: i moved the executable file to my root partitions, it runs from there, i have read and write rights to the other partition but it seams i can;t run apps from there, i need to change my /etc/fstab [20:08] NoelJB: Size 1024x768 not found in available modes [20:08] Is anyone here able to see the trailers at apple.com/trailers with Ubuntu 9.04?

[20:10] Does ubuntu support doing a new install to an existing setup with raid and lvm? [20:11] xor: yeah, it looks like the site is broken [20:11] there was a flag that if you pass to bash it prints every command executed. Helpful for debugging. Anyone knows of it? [20:11] the installer seems to choke on my software RAID1 config [20:12] anyone have experience installing PSubuntu on to ps3 ? [20:12] NoelJB: I don't know, I've only been using it for a couple of days, as it's a friend's computer. But on XP, it uses 1024x768, which looks just about ok, and I tried Puppy with 1280x1024, and it worked. Although it didn't look very good [20:12] how to get the name for the windows drive?

But it is not the default for jaunty. [20:15] iceroot: well, I have no experience with raid, but the numbers in (hd0,0) are one less than the drive and partition, so 0,0 would be sda1, 0,1 sda2, 1,0 sdb1, under normal circumstances [20:15] NoelJB: anything I can do? [20:16] oxygenfad: sudo -s doesn't work ? [20:16] sofiankrt, without knowing some of the details I asked you, I can't give you much help.

[20:17] <{[Aaron]}> NoelJB: I performed a 'sudo apt-cache search firefox 3.5' in the terminal and found a package for it, I guess I should have tried that first. It's about to finish downloading, will it replace my existing version of firefox? [20:18] no, as I recall it will add. you'll have both.

[20:29] hi [20:29] Stormx2: never mind sorry [20:29] Hi all. hope someone can help me. I've installed raid 0 using alternate cd. Built raid drive ok. got to end of install where I'm sposed to not reboot but to reinstall grub. problem is, all commands are not recognised. its lke its lost the path maybe. Anyone got any idea's? [20:29] lanzelloth, what do the logs say when you try? also, you can use udevadm monitor --env to watch things happen as it tries === Chris220|afk is now known as Chris220 [20:30] Guest30522: that is why some of us won't answer....you obviously showed up with an attitude...and I don't need people venting on me while I am trying to help [20:30] wlangford, NoelJB maladmin oh wait it's mounted now, I guess something just got delayed [20:30] OLA [20:30] NoelJB, wlangford still interested how to do it manually tho [20:30] lanzelloth: Okay, that's strange, but as long as it works. [20:30] yay, more people [20:30] Hm. [20:30] I can't remember the syntax on mount. [20:30] cole: Do you need ubuntu help? [20:31] wlangford: "sudo mount /device /place/you/want/it" [20:31] no, well not yet [20:31] cole: Really? Your install works perfectly?? :) [20:31] cole, don't worry, you will ;) [20:31] edbian: Yeah, thought so, but wanted to check before I gave them something wrong. =] [20:31] How do i report UDP Attacks [20:31] wlangford: That's it! :) [20:31] boogala boogala [20:31] Cool. [20:31] hot [20:32] L0ndy, to your ISP? [20:32] L0ndy: depends on the attacks. Your ISP is a good start [20:32] hmm [20:32] it happens like everyday on port 44705 [20:32] Weird. [20:32] sudo syntax :) [20:32] edbian, how do I check which device is which [20:32] L0ndy, or just got straight to the source of all internet problems: MICROSOFT and their crap OS. [20:32] someone from poland just got me [20:32] L0ndy: at the same exact time? [20:32] <__lupo__> does anybody used iphone 3g connection in ubuntu (I mean iphone tethering) [20:32] i'm lost in lala land with a monkey strapped to my leg, what do i do? [20:32] lanzelloth: Look at the output of "sudo fdisk -l" [20:32] lol NoelJB [20:32] How do I increase the size of a partition using unallocated space? [20:33] lanzelloth: If you still can't figure it out look at gparted [20:33] lanzelloth: if you want mounted disks, "mount" [20:33] *devices not disks [20:33] cole, donate whatever it is you're smoking to me? ;) [20:33] should i ask for a ip change? [20:33] L0ndy, do you use that port for anything? [20:33] no [20:33] idk if its open or not [20:33] Well, can't you just block it at your router? [20:34] L0ndy: you could use iptables (or ufw) and just block it. If the traffic is using more bandwidth than you are comfortable with, contact your ISP. [20:34] Unless it's actually overheating your hardware :S [20:34] i dont see a place where is says block [20:34] Well most routers block all ports by default (for incoming connections) [20:34] How do I increase the size of a partition using unallocated space? using GParted [20:34] cole: while(monkey+leg==1) {smash monkeys head with sledgehammer}; [20:34] Can anyone help? I've just about had enough of the hassle - been battling with it now for hours and hours. Last step is sling the pc into the garden. [20:34] L0ndy, see also http://isc.sans.org/port.html?port=44705 [20:34] how do delete one os of a 2 os computer and have the extra space as storage for the other os [20:34] hi all, i've a really noob questione about partimage. I can pass from an option to another with a the tab key... but i don't know how to select what i want. when i't time to pass from a screen to another it accept the enter, not selecting intermediate option [20:35] Graham_: i can open the window for you [20:35] cole, I suggest you use GParted [20:35] L0ndy, as a best practice, I block everything I don't intend to have open. [20:35] Does anyone know what the name of the key would be to bind the play/pause key on my keyboard to play-pause in VLC? (vlc --key-play-pause 'key') [20:35] how [20:35] Hi mal, sorry, don't understand. [20:35] cole, if you're new to ubuntu, check the guides for installing software [20:35] lalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalala [20:35] Graham_: whats your problem? [20:35] cole, I would also backup the partition you're erasing, just in case. [20:35] cole: Stop that [20:35] does pulseaudio need me to be added to a group other then pulse-rt? [20:35] Hi all. hope someone can help me. I've installed raid 0 using alternate cd. Built raid drive ok. got to end of install where I'm sposed to not reboot but to reinstall grub. problem is, all commands are not recognised. its lke its lost the path maybe. Anyone got any idea's? [20:36] edbian, wlangford ok cool [20:36] Graham_, so, the installer hangs? [20:36] what command are you entering? are you specifying the complete path? [20:36] Graham_: I figure you tried this, but does help work? (Not being rude, serious question) [20:36] Or are you at a GRUB prompt? [20:36] How do I increase the size of a partition using unallocated space? using GParted [20:36] No, everything installs ok, but there's a known bug with raid, it only puts grub only onto one of the raid disks. [20:37] nava2, isn't the option there? [20:37] gparted is quite straight forward i seem to remember, just drag the partition to fill the space [20:37] Sounds like a showstopper, Graham_. [20:37] so instructions say to drop to command prompt and install grub there. but no commands recognised. not su, sudo, grub etc. === RobotCow is now known as RecursiveQuickSo [20:37] Graham_, you may well be dropped into a GRUB prompt, rather than BASH? [20:37] It won't let me makeit bigger into that unallocated space [20:37] is the space before or after the partition? === RecursiveQuickSo is now known as RobotCow [20:38] can some one look here ?? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/417154 [20:38] I've tried entering the grub comamnds, still not recognised. === werti is now known as werti_russian [20:38] nava2, but the empty space has to be right after the old partition I think, and if it's a primary partition you must have < 3 primaries, or it must be in extended or something [20:38] Insta ll appears to go perfect. [20:40] hey, um, i installed GNUsound but when you press its icon, it logs you out. [20:40] naturally, it won't reboot with the grub issue, and unable to resolve it with no commands recognised. [20:40] lanzelloth: I don't get it, I can't touch it. [20:40] does hibernation work? [20:40] Yep, a total showstopper. gotta be a way to sort it. [20:40] jorge - its a hacking OS [20:40] Graham_, if you can't suss it out from the installer side, you might want to boot a live CD and install grub from that [20:40] someone who can help me installing broadcom B43 wireless driver? I tried just to install it, but then ""Sorry, the Jockey backend crashed. Please file a bug at:   ubuntu-bug jockey-common Trying to recover by restarting backend."" I'm pretty sure it's the homepage that is down so I can't download it [20:41] ops- screen didnt scrool [20:41] But the live cd doesn't include the support for raid. === u is now known as Guest88255 [20:41] Hey, i was looking for some hep mounting a NTFS drive. I receive and error, and i need to force it to mount. === Dragnslicer is now known as Dragnslcr [20:41] cole: Are you just making questions up? You've asked a couple now and not responded to answers [20:41] Graham_, and how you know why I don't like any RAID that isn't real (aka HARDWARE) RAID. :-) [20:41] subcool, boot into windows, then do a clean reboot. You may need to do it twice. [20:42] Yep. lol. but gotta try to get it sorted. doing my box it also. lol [20:42] hiya [20:42] Stormx2: i cant boot - krn error something [20:42] Hey guys I just bought an mbp and moved to college. Im connected to the internet via an ethernet port and i am assigned a public ip. Does anyone know why i am able to see peoples itunes libraries and things in other dorms if i am given a public ip? Thanks [20:42] i forgot, i just know i cant boot. [20:42] subcool: Into windows? Or at all? [20:42] nava2, can you post screenshot of gparted? [20:42] I could try fake raid. see how that goes. supposed to be not as good as linus software raid though. so seems shame to be forced to take that route. [20:42] windows [20:42] whodis, yes, it is called mDNS (aka avahi, bonjour, etc.) [20:42] its the main drive of my laptp [20:43] Where, on 9.04, is Perl located by default? [20:43] I have a Sansa e200 and when I plug it in, Jaunty recognizes it as a mp3 player and all that. But I need to know where it is mounted to so I can install rockbox. Any help? [20:43] "which perl" says /usr/bin/perl, but there's no such directory [20:43] nava2, i'll take a look but i'm no expert [20:43] subcool, does the problem lie with the windows boot, or the grub bootloader? [20:43] whodis: because colleges might have a public ip but they are all on the same network [20:43] whodis, and that depends on your uni's network :-) [20:43] Chris220: That's because /usr/bin/perl will be a file, not a directory [20:43] the HDD, i have a failure. Im trying to mount it and recover all my info [20:43] http://pastebin.com/m5d19be91 [20:43] whodis: welcome to internet2 :) === u is now known as Guest36025 [20:43] subcool: Ah. So force a mount? [20:44] Stormx2 ... Ok I feel stupid now X_X [20:44] Thanks for the hint :) [20:44] whodis: likely the zeroconf / avahi-daemon (in ubuntu) that MBPs use. [20:44] I'm a newb to Linux, so I haven't got used to the file system yet :P [20:44] whodis, and are you using ubuntu on your MacBook Pro? [20:44] moo [20:44] nm wrong window [20:45] majnoon: apt-get moo [20:45] lanzelloth: http://i26.tinypic.com/zy9fe8.png [20:45] noeljb i plan too, but not at the moment [20:45] Stormx2: im hearing many window's fixes and adjustments to this- but i dont think that is the best route. I have a LiveCD with Ubuntu right now (this comp, etc) [20:45] kitche, really that has something to do with it? [20:45] Chris220: Haha, it's cool. "bin" means "binary". Most files in a "bin" or "sbin" directory will be binaries (i.e. executables / programs / applications) === shamm is now known as LinuxGold [20:45] wazupppppppppppp [20:45] subcool, Your HDD has failed? :/ [20:45] hi all [20:45] Stormx2: Thanks for that explanation, very helpful! :D [20:45] nava2, it looks fine, did you run gparted with sudo? [20:45] ok, gonna try again. I'm resilient if nothing else. Will probably be back in half hour after next failure. [20:46] asg you DON'T need sudo to try it either :) [20:46] resilient? [20:46] whodis, LOL Look, I'm an ubuntu user, but if I were inclined to use a MacBook (which I'm not), I'd stick with Mac OS X. iTunes, Photoshop and Final Cut would be good reasons. [20:46] majnoon: no, you don't [20:46] polaka kurwa!! [20:46] whooa!

[20:48] ok. im have problem with game FABLE THE LOST CHAPTERS [20:48] szucha, and what is this problem? [20:48] asg can you come into the OT chan ?? [20:48] brb taking the tras out [20:49] Stormx2, i mean can you make another extended partition as long as there's empty space no matter where it is? [20:49] NoelJB, iTunes is perhaps the worst media player I've ever used. Photoshop and Final Cut can both be run in VMWare on a windows guest [20:49] im instal ubuntu 9.04, update all ok. instal wine and directX. configurate. [20:49] and than instal fable.

[20:51] Stormx2, iTunes is also the only way to manage an iPod Touch or iPhone properly. And I know VMware very well. :-) Mind you, there is no Final Cut for MS-Windows. :-) On linux, kdenlive is probably the best alternative.

[20:53] hmm [20:53] tanveeer: You have the JavaPlugin? [20:53] which 1 [20:53] Today I had some weird issues with an ATI Radeon 9800 : Jaunty live CD did not started, only safe graphic mode did. Once installed, the video driver was "vesa" in xorg.conf, with (of course) horrible performance. So I compiled/installed radeon driver git tag "xf86-video-ati-6.12.2" (default version in jaunty seems to be 6.12.1). With this driver, I was able to start the X server. But when using an openGL enabled app, its window is covered in little blac [20:53] i have firefox [20:53] __kevin__: 64 bit? [20:53] and icedtea [20:53] <__kevin__> yes 64 bit [20:53] za119: Firstly make sure ubuntu is aware of the card. Can you see it in the output of "sudo ifconfig" ?? [20:53] tanveeer: just get the JavaPlugin, not ice tea [20:53] tanveeer: you can't play HD. [20:54] y? [20:54] mikc, odd, I have a mobility radeon 9800, works out the box [20:54] Doesn't support it. [20:54] hoping someone can help me with this: I can't for the life of me get Flash to work with Firefox 3.5.2 on a 64-bit Ubuntu install [20:54] i user hd on windows [20:54] NoelJB: Ah, right you are. Looks like they need jailbreaking to work with ubuntu. [20:54] __kevin__: on this channel today i saw something about that, i believe the solution was to reinstall flash. Also talk to raskolnik who has a similar problem [20:54] deano, yes, I know. I run iTunes in VMware, as it says. Note: "As of now (22nd of June 2009), there is no alternative to iTunes when it comes to syncing with an iPod Touch or iPhone with Firmware 3.0." [20:54] edbian it just gives me back lo when I do ifconfig [20:54] im trying to install despotify, im reading a guide, and now its telling me to compile, then make, make sudo install. . how do i do that!_ [20:54] deano: it is an old desktop computer, Pentium 4, 512 MB Ram [20:54] za119: So you have only 1 network card? [20:55] edbian I just installed my only network card in a PCI slot, yes I just have one, and I need to now install it [20:55] <__kevin__> thanks Trijntje - I'll give that a try [20:55] tanveeer, people that administer important servers sometimes turn to #ubuntu for help. Please don't describe problems with runescape as "URGENT!", thanks. [20:55] Here's an interesting error: "tar: path/to/internal/tar/file: Cannot open: File Exists" Any thoughts? [20:55] <__kevin__> weird thing is most flash works, just note apple movie trailers [20:55] edbian I mean I have PHYSICALLY installed it into the PCI slot, now I need to get it running ha [20:55] runescape is urgent [20:55] za119: Now we're going to look in the output of "lspci" [20:55] my life depends on this game [20:55] How to merge two videofiles to one long?

[20:56] thats what im trying tosay [20:56] What's !backup do? [20:56] za119: If you run "lspci | grep Eth" then the system will take the output of lspci and filter it to only show the lines that have "Eth" somewhere in them.

[21:05] migg137: Show Desktop, Windows Bar, Workspace switcher, and trash [21:05] raskolnik, tried this? http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/set-the-default-browser-on-ubuntu-from-the-command-line/ [21:05] za119: It simply didn't work? [21:05] edbian I guess [21:05] i have sun java 6 JDK web start and open jdk java 6 runetime and sun java 6 run time and iced tea but runescpae still doesnt work... [21:05] za119: Look at "lspci -k" [21:05] za119: Does your ethernet device have a module associated with it? [21:06] I have a problem with vidalia [21:06] edbian yes it says uunder my ethernet controller kerned driver in use: skge and kernel modules: skge [21:06] thankyou eboyjr [21:07] raskolnik, and also http://support.mozilla.com/tiki-view_forum_thread.php?locale=it&comments_parentId=386823&forumId=1 [21:07] za119: Can you ping yourself? [21:07] za119: Do you have dhcp on this network? [21:07] edbian as in ping localhost? [21:07] edbian yes I can [21:07] za119: Try and ping your own ip address, 192.168.1.201 [21:07] edbian no I use static IP's [21:07] za119: Can you ping your own address? [21:07] edbian it says no network is unreachable [21:08] za119: Can you ping the gateway? [21:08] edbian no [21:08] za119: Edit the file again. Reput "auto eth0" and tab over the last 3 lines. Address, netmask, and gateway Also look for typos [21:09] deano: ok, I set it to default and changed my shortcut in gnome, so now 3.0 runs, and flash works, so thanks! === [1]addchild314 is now known as addchild314 [21:09] za119: I was under the impression that you didn't need "auto " for static IP's but I could be wrong. [21:09] za119: After you've editing the file pastebin it again for me. [21:09] General Question... Linux and chipsets... AMD or INTEL? [21:10] DWonderly, both. I have systems on both sets. [21:10] raskolnik, cool. I really see no need to use 3.5 personally. I just dont see anything great/new about it. 3.0 works for me, and is as fast./ [21:10] NoelJB: Thanks [21:10] where in ubuntu can you set the settings for your webcam back to standard? [21:10] deano: 3.5 feels faster on x64, but flash is so ubiquitous it's not worth the trade-off ... eh well, I can wait a few months no problem....thanks again [21:11] what's wrong with flash? I have it working with FF 3.5. === digilink_ is now known as digilink-work [21:12] edbian http://paste.ubuntu.com/257696/ [21:12] edbian: you do need auto for auto start. After a change do ifdown ifup for the changes to take effect [21:12] /etc/init.d/networking restart has the same effect as ifdown and ifup [21:13] edbian: yup [21:13] bonjour [21:13] za119: I see you also added "network" That looks good. try "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart" again [21:14] za119: or ifup, ifdown. Your choice [21:14] still only lo is showing up in ifconfig [21:14] za119: After restarting? [21:14] hie, sorry [21:14] edbian I also tried ifdown and up -a and restarting network, but still I only get lo [21:15] <{[Aaron]}> How do I extract a .tar.gz file to a given location using the terminal? [21:15] I get a weird error though when I do ifup eth0 edbian [21:15] za119: Are you sure there were no errors? There aren't any typos in /etc/network/interfaces or anything? [21:15] za119 ifconfig? [21:15] za119: What was the error?? [21:15] RHorse: His ifconfig only shows "lo" [21:15] Is ubuntu planning on supporting the new Firefox any time soon? [21:15] !ff3.5 | phenom [21:15] phenom: Firefox 3.5 Final is available for Jaunty by installing the package firefox-3.5 and firefox-3.5-gnome-support | FF3.5 is referred to as Shiretoko in your UI, see http://is.gd/1reB3 for an explanation | Hardy & Intrepid: http://is.gd/1jkNY [21:15] edbian it says unable to resolve host Tron and eth0: ERROR while getting interface flags: no such device SIOCSIFADDR: No such device [21:15] hi all [21:16] za119: In lspci is your interface ever called eth1 or something? [21:16] za119: "host Tron" does that mean anything to you?? [21:16] edbian, Yea, I have it installed. But it's not officially supported, or in their repo yet [21:16] phenom: It will be default in 9.10 I believe [21:16] edbian no lspci just says Ethernet Controller [21:16] I have problems with shiretoko [21:16] za119 is card a pci type? [21:17] RHorse: It is [21:17] Anyone with VPN expertise?? I'm desperately trying to fix a problem with pptp in Jaunty and have followed many guides to no avail. [21:17] Does anyone know how to install ubuntu with a weird (fake) raid 0 ? I've been tghrough a few tutorials, only ending in the same : crash, with sometimes having to format my hardrive, which is gettiing me fiercley angry. [21:17] za119 try reseating card and cold boot [21:17] za119: he means ifconfig [21:17] And you have to update FF as root > sudo else you can mess up FF. [21:17] RHorse: How do you reset a card?? [21:17] <{[Aaron]}> How do I extract a .tar.gz file to a given location using the terminal? [21:17] RHorse like take it out and put it back in?? [21:17] za119: do you have anything in /etc/resolv.conf for a nameserver? [21:17] za119: I suspect many something to do with bios configurations? IRQ perhaps? [21:18] weird thing my keyboard in xorg is setup for british keyboard which works fine but in terminal I cant use the pound (£) sign, if I try i get # instead, does anyone know how to correct this? [21:18] edbian just pull it out and reseat it. [21:18] bucky: He couldn't even ping local ip addresses. [21:18] {[Aaron]}: tar -C /my/destination -xzf [21:18] RHorse: Is there a reset button? Jumper? [21:18] <{[Aaron]}> thanks SmithX . [21:18] edbian: is this usb? [21:18] or wireless [21:18] bucky: It's a pci network card [21:18] bucky: wired [21:18] edbian I could check bios if u want, and in resolv.conf I have the 3 nameservers it came with and 2 I put in myself so it can work on my network [21:18] bucky: and it's za119's problem ;) [21:18] edbian reSEAT, not reSET [21:18] edbian: does he have drivers loaded for it in lsmod ? [21:18] RHorse: Thanks! :P [21:19] bucky: Some showed in lspci -k [21:19] bucky: We did not check lsmod [21:19] bucky how can I try the lsmod thing [21:19] {[Aaron]}: sometimes depending on the order of compression and tarrring, you might have to do use -zxf instead of -xzf [21:19] za119: "sudo lsmod" [21:19] za119: And look for your card [21:19] lspci -k showed it was loading skge driver [21:20] edbian I am doing htis in terminal how do I scroll up [21:20] za119: You don't actually need sudo. just "lsmod" page up key should do the trick [21:20] what do you guys use for reading chm? chmsee doesn't have a search function [21:20] za119: You could also use "lsmod | grep " to filter the results === chaky_ is now known as chaky [21:20] lanzelloth: xchm [21:20] za119: grep is a handy little tool [21:20] Does the current version of Ubuntu have desktop search integrated ("desktop search" meaning that file/email content is also indexed)? It seems like older versions did, but now I can only search by filename. [21:21] edbian I still cant scroll up for some reason should I grep something [21:21] za119: I think reseating is a good idea BTW [21:21] asg, would you consider it to be powerfull? [21:21] za119: shift page up to scroll up [21:21] za119: grep the name of the module that showed up in "lspci -k" [21:21] za119: Ah yes! shift + page up [21:21] lanzelloth: I consider it to be useful in a way that gnochm isn't. [21:22] asg, ok will try it out [21:22] za119: Personally I don't like "lsmod" cause it is cryptic in naming things. [21:22] edbian I HAVE NEEDED THE SCROLL UP TRICK FOR SO LONG THANK YOU!! and let me try to grep skge [21:22] za119: Thank HobbleAlong [21:22] lanzelloth: you can always apt-get remove --purge xchm if you don't like it :) [21:22] edbian what am i looking for in lsmod [21:23] za119: I can't say really. Like I said I don't like lsmod. Your skge module I suppose. Ask bucky [21:23] za119: He suggested it. I suggest you reseat the card [21:23] edbian I found my skge module in there and it is running I think it has a number next to it I am assuming is a pid [21:23] za119: Is it possible that this card is fried? [21:23] 1337 online! [21:23] edbian just got it in yesterday [21:24] za119: If the module is listed there than it is being used [21:24] weird thing my keyboard in xorg is setup for british keyboard which works fine but in terminal I cant use the pound (£) sign, if I try i get # instead, does anyone know how to correct this? [21:24] edbian I am going to try to reseat it, and when I start back up I am going to check bios, ok? [21:24] hello is there a # for powerPC ubuntu? [21:24] za119: Sounds good. Good luck! [21:24] Pirate_Hunter: did you try ctrl+shift+# [21:24] blkdg, got a mac? :) [21:24] Pirate_Hunter: # is "pound" in America. [21:25] Pirate_Hunter: I know it doesn't help you much but I'm just saying [21:25] Hello, is there a way to make my windows bar transparent, they do when it is the non selected window, but i want them to always be transparent. Thankyou [21:25] IdleOne: i only have one language set in my xorg it works correct except for terminal [21:26] Hi guys, whats the best way to find someone willing to package a project im developing for Ubuntu? Im basically the only person working on the project, and have no time to package myself (nor any knowledge of .debs) [21:26] migg137, look at system -> settings -> appearance -> desktop effects :) [21:26] edbian: hmm # is # in terminal on my system and it is also shift+3 which is meant to be £ [21:26] you can manually configure desktop effects [21:26] Pirate_Hunter: I understand. I thought maybe it was like the ctrl+v command, in terminal you add shift to get paste [21:27] spanther, to old imacs. [21:27] two [21:27] Pirate_Hunter: weird! :P [21:27] blkdg, cool ubuntu still runs on them? :D [21:27] spanther, i dont have a settings option after system [21:27] edbian: i know why would it work in the system except termianl it creates a major inconvenience with scp and ssh [21:27] migg137: "sudo apt-get install simple-ccsm" to get a program to configure compiz [21:27] !packaging > tntcoda [21:27] tntcoda, please see my private message [21:27] migg137, the icon with orange screwdriver :) [21:28] Pirate_Hunter: I have no idea lol [21:28] i don't know. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCDownloads looks like it does [21:28] edbian, i have compiz advanced setting manager already [21:28] where in ubuntu can you set the settings for your webcam back to standard? [21:28] migg137: Then what are you looking for? [21:28] anyone know how to configure the notification in jaunty? (The black popup displaying random info--like song name) I have a dual monitor setup and rarely use the 2nd monitor, but the notification shows on that one. [21:28] server samair.eushells.ro port 45000 [21:28] edbian, how to make my windows bar transparent i do not know how [21:29] spanther, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCDownloads looks promising. but i don't know if i should bother with anything past 7.04 [21:29] migg137: That is actually part of the "emerald" project. You have to install emerald: "sudo apt-get install emerald" and then you have to turn it on [21:29] Pirate_Hunter: is your keyboard set to USA? [21:29] i'm currently trying to get mty usb to work in win xp in vmware I asked in vmware and got no answers maybe some one in here can help [21:29] edbian, i have emerald... but how do i configure it [21:29] I tried the steps from here http://ubuntu-unleashed.com/2008/04/howto-install-virtualbox-in-ubuntu-hardy-heron-with-usb-support-in-5-easy-steps.html [21:30] migg137: There is also a emerald settings manager in the repos. To turn it on "emerald --replace&" in a terminal [21:30] blkdg, i never had an iMac so i can't give advice which version works best :) [21:30] I installed all ubuntu hardy update s and have most recent version of vmware [21:30] thanks anyhow. [21:31] migg137 google emerald make transparant window bar or something. I did it on mine. [21:31] I'm trying the part on that site where it shows if these steps did not work [21:31] edbian, thankyou so now if i want to turn it of how do i do that [21:31] I'm trying to find a easy way to install Ubuntu from a USB pendrive. The official documentation mentions commands and options that does not exists on every Linux distro. Any suggestions? [21:31] but i dont understand the directions at that part [21:31] migg137: "compiz --replace&" [21:32] migg137: or possibly "metacity --replace&" but that might shut off compiz as well. [21:33] edbian, the first compiz-- replace did not work i still have the emerald thewme thing [21:33] theme* [21:33] KurtKraut, using the unetbootin utility would probably be the easiest [21:33] !info unetbootin [21:33] unetbootin (source: unetbootin): installer of Linux/BSD distributions to a partition or USB drive. In component universe, is optional. Version 304-1 (jaunty), package size 187 kB, installed size 564 kB [21:34] migg137: "metacity --replace&" [21:34] edbian, now i dont have the minimize buttons or close buttons [21:34] unop: I've tried with unetbootin several times and it doesn't work. Sometimes it attemps to write data to the pendrive, sometimes it doesn't. And when it does, it leads to an unbootable image. [21:34] migg137: "metacity --replace" [21:34] edbian, i closed the terminal and it worked... thanks [21:35] migg137: A restart will bring them back W.C.S. The proper way to start emerald with compiz is to add "emerald" to the window decorator plugin. [21:35] migg137: In the ccsm [21:35] KurtKraut, i've seen similar problems with certain pendrive models - it could be that [21:36] yeah good dude, thanks for asking. In the end I just attached bits of puffed wheat to the end of it and let the chipmunks nibble them off. Was an awesome feeling, but a little dangerous. [21:36] KurtKraut, you could try this method here - http://learn.clemsonlinux.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Install_from_USB_drive - just be very careful with the commands and getting the device names right or you risk losing data on other harddrives [21:36] sorry, wrong window [21:36] edbian, ok i have that enabled in ccsm but now how do i add it the proper way [21:37] migg137: ? That is the proper way. [21:37] edbian, o0k thankyou very much [21:37] migg137: Now when you restart compiz will call "emerald" instead of metacity [21:37] migg137: NP! :) [21:37] migg137: Good luck ubuntu-ing! [21:37] hpw come when I run screen in gnome-terminal my cpu adds 10% while the sum of cpu-values in top doesn't add up to that? [21:38] unop: I've already tried it but somehow, this documentation already presume you're using Ubuntu. It mentions commands/syntaxes that does not exist in other linux distros. [21:38] weird thing my keyboard in xorg is setup for british keyboard which works fine but in terminal I cant use the pound (£) sign, if I try i get # instead, does anyone know how to correct this? [21:38] KurtKraut, like what commands exactly? i'm pretty sure if you don't have those commands, you will need to install the packages that provide them. [21:39] Pirate_Hunter, System > Preference > Keyboard [21:39] Set to british in there too [21:39] hey why when I try to install ubuntu server onto my computer it keeps stopping at install the base system [21:39] lastlog za119 [21:39] bluetooth for keyboard/mouse is just soooo much better range-wise [21:39] unop: I had to install some packages to Mandriva (distro I'm currently using) but even having the programs/commands needed, the syntax provided by this documentation aren't accepted. I belive due to different program/package versions. [21:40] how do I do that RHorse .. oh and BTW i am just re-installing ubuntu to try to get htis card working because i dont think it iwll otherwise, and now atleast during the install process of ubuntu the lights on the card work, whereas before they have never turned on ha [21:40] Hello, is it true that If I install ubuntu 9.04 on a machine...and I transfer the hard disk into another box... it might not work? or does the kernel adapt while the machine is of the same arch in this case i386 ? === Floops[w] is now known as Fringe [21:40] Sorry, misdirect on that last msg [21:40] edbian ha did u read that [21:40] Stormx2: no gnome, fluxbox and it only happens in terminal [21:40] za119 ethernet cards are cheap. Just get one that your Ubie sees. :) [21:41] RHorse I just bought this one because it didnt see my last one [21:41] RHorse and the last one was some no name ne that dosent work with linux so I did my research and bought a d-link that will work with ubuntu [21:41] KurtKraut, the commands used here are pretty standard GNU utilities and there's no obscure options used either - I would ask in #mandriva for support or boot ubuntu using a live CD, create the disk, etc [21:41] za119 Is the MB ok? I don't like the sound of this. [21:41] how do I adjust the expo plugin to show the viewports tiled? [21:42] per default it shows the viewports horizontaly one after the other [21:42] RHorse it says no that I am trying to instal ubuntu - bootstrap error invalid relase file: no valid components [21:42] epaphus: I've moved from a 486 through several different pentium models and it handled each change without any problems. [21:42] What's the "proper" way to tell if a machine is actually swapping significantly? (As opposed to just if some swap is being used for infrequently accessed stuff) [21:42] unop: ok, thanks. [21:42] now that i am ** [21:43] bpgoldsb, I wonder what would happen bewteen an AMD and Intel? [21:43] za119 get a new install disk. :( [21:43] unop: Mandriva has a shell script called 'mandriva-seed.sh' that does this job flawlessly. But, of course, only for Mandriva images/LiveCD. [21:43] zenwryly, cat /proc/swaps # and you should see the kswapd daemon using quite a few CPU cycles in the process table. [21:43] RHorse what do u mea?? === Chris220 is now known as amipurplenow [21:44] epaphus: what kind of amd? I doubt you;d have any problems [21:44] unop: ok, thanks! === amipurplenow is now known as Chris220 [21:44] bpgoldsb, i dont have a particular example. but it would be a newer version.. [21:44] KurtKraut, yea, also look here for some alternative methods that might work for you - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick [21:45] if you're kernel is i386 than machine after that should have no problems [21:45] KurtKraut, there's a similar script for ubuntu called isotostick.sh on the page - should work [21:46] bpgoldsb, is this equivalent ? Linux arenas 2.6.27-14-generic #1 SMP Fri Jul 24 22:19:33 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux [21:46] how come when I run screen in gnome-terminal my total cpu usage increases with 10% while the sum of process cpu-values in top doesn't add up to that? [21:46] asdfasdf [21:47] epaphus, your hardware is detected at boot time.

[21:59] lordnikon, the best way to install 64 bit flash is to get it directly from adobe labs, and just copy the file into the correct directory. [21:59] sorry, I'll go into that room [21:59] ok, im good up to that pioiunt [21:59] Evidentally, I already tried the PPA [21:59] same problem [21:59] how do i find the right dir [21:59] lordnikon, and ubuntu comes with totem. you can install others.

[22:12] what music player do u guys use? ive tried a few and didnt like them [22:12] bluejeans any 32 bit sw should work [22:12] Pirate_Hunter: that's not configured in xorg.conf... [22:12] MaGicMaX, personally I use Sonata [22:12] MaGicMaX, cmus [22:12] people say linux is build from the ground up to be more secure what does that mean? [22:12] lanzelloth, ask them, not us. [22:13] Stormx2: that's the only way current'y to get flash working on a 64 bit [22:13] has anyone ever used Audacious? [22:13] is it because you can only run important stuff as root? [22:13] bluejeans, well, I'm running 64bit flash on 64bit firefox on 64bit ubuntu. [22:13] there's 64bit flash... [22:13] Did I break reality? [22:13] lanzelloth: it means that security isn't an afterthought [22:13] MaGicMaX, Audacious is a fine Winamp 2 clone. [22:13] 64 bit flash is available. [22:13] Flannel, your inability to properly manage the channel has seen it descend into farce.

Haven't used a 32 bit system in years.

Mac and linux uses a real shell (BASH), Windows uses Redmond invented trash with no features. [23:09] oh [23:09] ok [23:09] RenagadeX: well.. the term "command prompt" means mostly the same no matter what system you're using.. but how it works and what you can do with it.. and most importantly.. how to do it can be very different [23:09] * shamm wnaders off to play some serious game. [23:09] MaGicMaX: tough on you - sorry [23:09] Can anyone help with some compiz and flash issues I have?

[23:10] 3 gib (shows up as 2.9) [23:10] RenagadeX: ah.. that looks like it [23:10] I have to disable compiz on my netbook to be able to watch flash at all [23:10] gig* [23:11] Slart: do I get to terminal from live CD?? [23:11] nmvictor if i do fdisk -l i have hda and hdb [23:11] The problem is that for example on youtube the video plays too fast [23:11] RenagadeX: yes, you can get to a terminal from a live cd [23:11] how do i get google to be the american version? (i'm in korea) [23:11] ok [23:11] endri: the cdrom should be /dev/scd0 [23:11] blueskies1977, really? I've never had that problem. remind me not to buy whatever brand of PC you're using. [23:11] ChaoticXSinZ what graphics card? [23:11] Intel [23:12] fosa_, should be on the google front page. [23:12] fosa_, I've had to do that when in Amsterdam.

[23:12] it is a low powered netbook with all the effect turned on. I am really asking for trouble anyway :) [23:12] NoelJB, is it in my accounts or just a link? [23:12] fosa_: www.google.com/ncr will ignore browser locale settings [23:13] fosa_, a link, as I recall. [23:13] I don't have the speed problems in fullscreen mode though. [23:13] ChaoticXSinZ compiz is just a windows decorator. It changes the borders and such stuff.

Any hint ? [23:25] ah [23:25] I'm trying to use Ubuntu on my Eee but many applications exceeds the screen limits, so I cannot press the buttons of YES or NO at the bottom of the screen. If I press ALT and try to drag it, Ubuntu does not allow any window parto to be dragged of screen. So how can I use Ubuntu in small screens or allow it to move the top of the window off the screen as any other linux distro? [23:25] thanks guntbert [23:25] NoelJB: I was actually using the beta driver from adobe labs, 64bit one, but had to revert to repos one to get one flash application to work. [23:26] blueskies1977: No, purging won't remove the stuff in your homedir [23:26] ok I got another question,I have a friend that has a laptop and I have talked him into using ubuntu from usb disk ,is there a easy way to create this for him [23:26] ChaoticXSinZ, I just use the Adobe driver in Synaptic [23:26] KurtKraut, are you using netbook remix ? [23:26] carrie_555: you are welcome, have a look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [23:26] DJNomad: no, I want to use the regular Ubuntu. [23:26] that would be perfect for my friend but he does not have a atom pc [23:27] DJNomad, you're better off just having it install from a CD [23:27] My mistake, thought it did [23:27] DJNomad: Are you looking to install from USB? or run from USB? [23:27] never checked really [23:27] thanks mnaines [23:27] !who | blueskies1977, btw [23:27] blueskies1977, btw: 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 :) [23:27] Flannel I think he wants to run from to start out [23:27] from 8.10 onwards there is a menu item in Ubuntu to create usb (in administration IIRC) [23:28] DJNomad: Alright. Do you have an Ubuntu system? [23:28] DJNomad, Ubuntu will give you the option of "Try Ubuntu without any changes to your computer" when the install screen comes up [23:28] nmvictor: i cant find any. messages kern.log are the ones i found [23:28] I have a small screen (an Eee PC). Many windows exceeds the screen limits. How can I drag a window beyond screen limits while pressing ALT? [23:28] friend is from another state so I cant help him in same room etc,he dont know how to burn a image as of right now [23:29] by the way, does anyone know if there is a command that makes a "change directory" to the folder visited before? (not "cd ..") [23:29] DJNomad, its simple - download the image then use a CD burner program to burn the ISO image onto the disk [23:29] carrie_555: cd - [23:29] thks [23:29] DJNomad: Alright. All recent Ubuntu systems come with a utility to make a USB drive booty thing. If he has access to a system with a CDrom, he can do that. [23:29] mnaines, thats what I think I am gonna have to tell him to do [23:29] endri: you could do cat syslog | grep boot |>~/boot.log then paste the contents of boot.log in your home directory or if you have pastebinit installee then you can redirect the output to pastebinit directly with cat syslog| grep boot | pastebinit then get me the url [23:30] DJNomad: Then he'll be able to create a USB drive that'll boot and be his system, better than a liveCD, since he can store stuff on it, etc. [23:30] Flannel I tried to make one for him I was gonna torrent it but it requires me to have the usb drive here [23:30] DJNomad, just a piece of advice, though...You best do the install yourself. If he's not very skilled with a computer, he should not install operating systems himself [23:30] DJNomad: Right. But he can burn the CD, then boot to it, then make the USB. [23:30] mnaines: Are you simply not paying attention? [23:31] I think I am gonna have him burn image with img burn [23:31] anyone recommend another image burning prog ? [23:31] Roxio [23:31] I have had sucess with img burn but that was awhile back [23:31] DJNomad, try Roxio [23:32] is roxio free ? [23:32] If you're on Linux yourself, you can burn it using Ubuntu's built-in burner [23:32] nmvictor: http://pastebin.com/m11ef4ca7 [23:32] What do you know, I restarted `X` via CTRL+ALT+Backspace and now it works properly again! [23:32] he is in another state tho [23:33] cntrl alt backspace hasn't worked for me(restarting) for a few versions now [23:33] Could you create it and post it? [23:33] DJNomad: Right, mnaines isn't paying attention. If you look here, these instructions should work (even from a liveCD): http://www.pendrivelinux.com/ubuntu-810-install-using-the-built-in-usb-installer/ [23:33] DJNomad: On 9.04 as well, I don't believe the interface has changed significantly. [23:34] maybe I have been hitting diff buttons idk lol [23:34] DJNomad: For Ctrl+Alt+Backspace to work you need to enable it as they disabled it by default around Intrepid. [23:34] still can't find the "any" button [23:34] thanks ChaoticXSinZ I will look into that ,it was a nice thing [23:35] endri: i have to go, its 2am aover her, anyway i see something like SElinux disabled at root, whats that?SElinux? [23:35] endri: *disabled at boot [23:35] DJNomad: But I think there was a reason for disabling it. Something about using Alt+Sys Rq or something [23:35] is there a software similar to cfosspeed of windows, for give 'ping' priority to determinate app or protocols? [23:35] DJNomad: it's deprecated although you can reenable; use alt+sysrq+k instead [23:36] What does alt+sysrq+k do? [23:36] DJNomad, I found out how to make hard drives hot-swappable on Ubuntu [23:36] endri: it repeats itself over and over,could it be some important utility during boot up? [23:36] ChaoticXSinZ: the same as ctrl+alt+backspace: kill all and return to login [23:37] hey luke you there [23:37] BTW is Alt+Sys Rq+(R|S|E|I|U|B) safely shutdown your computer if it's forzen or something? [23:37] endri: what system are you running?ubuntu? [23:38] luke are you there [23:38] ChaoticXSinZ: yes although I do reisub but there is discussion on that order [23:38] timothy_: did you get it to work? [23:38] no [23:38] Is it possible to share a folder with symlinks via samba? [23:38] I think I heard something like (Reboot System Even If Utterly Broken) [23:38] i dont know how to boot into safe mode on linux [23:39] what are you installing? [23:39] I almost done the alt sys k thing but I paused and got 5 million print screen popups lol [23:39] yeah i got the install to work [23:39] timothy_: why do you need to do that? [23:39] cause luke told me to [23:40] cause im trying to fix something [23:40] timothy_, are you still trying to fix your repo auth error? [23:40] timothy_:what?, [23:40] yes [23:40] ChaoticXSinZ: nice; Raising Elephants Is So Utterly Boring http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key [23:40] Who told you to go into safe mode? [23:40] luke [23:41] * luke :No such nick/channel [23:41] VCoolio: So which chould I use? [23:41] i was just talking to him [23:41] I guess he left. [23:41] Anyway [23:41] Here's what you need to do [23:41] Guys its been a while,Gotto go to bed. [23:41] sudo apt-get update [23:41] Pastebin the output [23:41] ChaoticXSinZ: the wiki page says reisub; reboot even if system utt. br.

[23:46] It's funny, I realized that alias does not work well in some situations. Here is an example: $ alias cdd='cd $1;clear;ls -l' .On the other hand, when I made this function, it worked well: cdd(){ cd $1;clear;ls -l } [23:46] timothy_, try visiting http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/jaunty-security/main/binary-i386 in a browser. Do you see a directory listing? [23:46] *ubuntu es [23:46] How can I use my ubuntu CD to recover/fix some files or programs? [23:46] i see a parent directory [23:47] MOUD: Depends entirely on what you're trying to fix. [23:47] How can I see buttons in a window that are below my desktop (Gnome 9.04)? [23:47] storm i see a parent directory [23:47] kent, no windows are below your desktop [23:47] timothy_, right. [23:47] Hi, getting fatal X server error "No screens found" since I have enabled ATI restricted drivers, can anyone help? [23:48] Stormx2: trying to get the gnome network manager to work again [23:48] What's wrong with it? [23:48] so what do i do now [23:48] timothy_: Do you have access to your Ubunto install CD enabled in /etc/apt/sources.list. If so comment that line out and make sure the normal repos are enabled. [23:48] timothy_, essentially, apt-get is finding that that URL is a 404, when clearly it isn't. It isn't your ISP's fault either. [23:48] The window is in firefox and it won't let me scroll down to the buttons. [23:48] I'm at a loss. [23:49] HobbleAlong, read his pastebin. [23:49] HobbleAlong, that isn't the issue: http://paste.ubuntu.com/257774/ [23:49] Stormx2: it's not working. When I try running it on terminal ( nm ) then I get the error: " nm: 'a.out': No such file " [23:49] Can I create a backup of my / so I can restore it easily if I mess it up? Preferably something with a GUI. [23:50] Stevethepirate: do you get a login prombt? [23:50] k the guy who posted the link about ubuntu and agreeing with it has frozen my firefox ,thanks [23:50] Other windows gnome won't let me move above the upper task bar. [23:50] hi everyone! [23:50] hello suave [23:50] How do I configure Ubuntu to display the login screen when resuming from the screensaver?

If you want me to see your messages, use my nick [23:51] Stormx2: It could be. If the CD is enabled apt-get will try to get everything from it. [23:52] oh ok [23:52] #ubuntu-es [23:52] ctmjr: any ideas bro? [23:52] MOUD, That's not how you launch NetworkManager. Try nm-applet [23:52] !es | wilson [23:52] wilson: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [23:52] Stormx2 what did you want me to do after that [23:52] Stormx2, how do I configure Ubuntu to display the login screen when the screen saver activates, like you can with Windows? [23:52] HobbleAlong, oh really? [23:52] Stevethepirate: ok try this first if you have not done so sudo aticonfig --initial then reboot if that does not work try sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg then we will go from there [23:52] basically, when running ifconfig wlan0 up (or down), it comes back saying error while getting interface flags: no such device [23:52] mnaines, why are you asking me? [23:52] Stormx2, there's no nm-applet [23:52] ctmjr: ye, I was planning to dpkg-reconfigure [23:52] Just in the past sometimes that has been the worst thing to do [23:53] lspci -v | less shows the wireless device but it can't be enabled, basically [23:53] Like, sometimes its a small problem [23:53] what should i do? [23:53] Any idea how to install both the regular and unstripped versions of ffmpeg libs at the same time? [23:53] MOUD, then install network-manager-gnome [23:53] but ok ctmjr, brb [23:53] How can I see all users from terminal? [23:53] Gnome won't let me move a window above the upper task bar and so when a window is larger than the desktop I can't access buttons at the bottom of that window. [23:53] heo, w [23:53] Stormx2: that's the problem. I can't access the internet on ubuntu [23:53] ctmjr: quick Q, I dont have atitool installed, and not in repos [23:54] MOUD, network-manager-gnome is installed by default, though. Why did you remove it? [23:54] hey steventhepirate [23:54] kent: press left Alt while pressing left mouse button to move the windows [23:54] kent: Hold down the ALT button, click and hold, and you'll be able to drag the window. [23:54] may i have some help [23:54] alternatively, does anyone know how to upgrade intrepid without an internet connection? [23:54] timothy_, pastebin the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list please [23:54] Stevethepirate: you get an error when you run aticonfig? [23:54] I need help to set up my wireless with my hp dv4-1435dx notebook. anyone ? lol [23:54] I tried that but it still won't let me move the window above the task bar. [23:54] or am i safe to upgrade straight to jaunty using a disk without intrepid being fully updated? [23:54] timothy_, to get the contents, hit Alt + F2 and write "gedit /etc/apt/sources.list" (without the quote) [23:55] Stormx2, I didn't. I installed some programs (sudo apt-get) but for some strange reason my network-manager-gnome just disapeared [23:55] anyone? [23:55] suave: Look at the apt-zip package. [23:55] ctmjr: I lied, I do have aticonfig, but it gives an error *Please copy configuration file template to /etc/X11/*, which file are they referring to? [23:56] Stormx2: it does not show the user that can be seen with the commond "whoami" [23:56] dajhorn: where would i get that from? [23:56] my own machine doesn't recognise it [23:56] suave: An Ubuntu computer that has a working Internet connection. It is in the universe repository. [23:57] ctmjr: wrong terminal ftl x/ Was trying to run aticonfig on a box with a nvidia card ... fml xD [23:57] dajhorn: the point is that the computer that's having issues does not have an internet connection [23:57] If I left-Alt left-click-mouse the window gets smaller in size until I drag it up to the task bar and then when it hits the task bar it enlarges to full screen and won't go any higer. [23:58] hey stormx2 i dont understand what your asking [23:58] but ye, just this error now about Please copy a config file template to /etc/X11/ [23:58] hey guys two systems fresh installs of 9.04 including all updates however one ...on scsi system..has kernel 2.6.28--generic and the other has 2.6.28-15-generic?? [23:58] suave: To upgrade such a computer, you'll need to get the software somewhere. Ubuntu has some packages, like apt-zip, that let you download updates/upgrades on one computer and carry it to the disconnected computer. [23:58] 2.6.28-13-generic rather === jon is now known as Guest1939 [23:58] it says to install from cd rom or dvd rom insert a cd or dvd [23:58] dajhorn: sweet [23:58] i'll play around with it now [23:59] Hello, I installed pulse audio and followed a guide online to use bluetooth headphones.
