[00:01] HELLO ANYONE?! [00:01] Stevethepirate: what output did it give? [00:01] ctmjr: the force worked fine. [00:01] hi [00:01] timothy_: Uhg. How did you go to open it? [00:01] does any body know [00:01] ya [00:01] Stevethepirate: ok try and reboot see what it does [00:02] Guest1939, No computer that is connected to the internet is hack-proof. [00:02] Must I reconfigure though? [00:02] let do this again without errors :) two system...freshinstalls 9.04..all updates installed...scsi system has kernel 2.6.28-13-generic and the other has the 2.6.28-15-generic...differenct hardware...should they have installed different kernels? [00:02] Or reboot 1st? [00:02] Stevethepirate: just reboot for now [00:02] Sorry, I am an ATI noob. [00:02] K, brb.

[00:04] i am [00:04] afrikaZX, it's a better idea to make a list of your installed programs and simply back up /home [00:05] i am talking to yall in english [00:05] Guest1939: it isn't necessarily safer. Preventing hacks, viruses and the like is more a matter of the user than the equipment [00:05] I have a general linux problem, but I'm running xubuntu [00:05] Guest1939: What on earth is a "yall"?

[00:09] welcome [00:09] it says "warning:releasing 1 pending lock" [00:09] Guest1939: check tldp.org for the Network Administrators Guide [00:09] (or any other than ext3) [00:09] Guest1939, "better" is a value judgement. What are you after? [00:10] ctmjr: Same error man... When I do a dpkg-reconfigure, get a postint warning and thats it. === Guest51867 is now known as zehava [00:10] whats some good graphics package for printing photo's [00:10] now can you doolboot ubuntu and redhat linux [00:10] Guest1939: Yes. [00:10] yes redhat linux free [00:10] I unplugged an external harddrive formatted with VFAT, and now it's having trouble mounting [00:11] Guest1939, you cave man, me modern human [00:11] I have just installed ubuntu 8.10, firefox already installed default, I installed flashplayer-nonfree and flashplayer-plugin and I cannot get any sound [00:11] fuck u [00:11] AxleLonghorn, you should fsck it [00:11] AxleLonghorn: did you unmount it before unplugging? [00:11] !language Guest1939 [00:11] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [00:11] Guest1939, here's an idea of how much safer Linux is compared to Windows XP - 400 of the world's best hackers brought down Windows XP in just 2 minutes. They brought down Macintosh via an undisclosed hole in Safari in 10 minutes, but all 400 of them did not want to write exploit code for Linux. Put simply, they felt hacking Linux was a waste of time [00:11] hey stormx2 im trying to start a buffer with you [00:11] !language > Guest1939 [00:11] Guest1939, please see my private message [00:11] looking at some of the things google has come up with for me, I have no firefoxrc file at all [00:11] th0r: no I did not [00:11] and not sure what else to try [00:11] how do I start terminal from a live CD? [00:11] when it says that my Hard drive has bad sectors, does it mean it doesn't work anymore?? [00:11] th0r: this is part of the problem, lol [00:12] Slart: [00:12] AxleLonghorn: then I am with dotblank....fsck it [00:12] mnaines, Why would hacking linux be a waste of time when linux runs on most of the webservers? [00:12] RenagadeX: just open applications->accessories->terminal [00:12] I cant boot linux [00:12] when I run dmesg, my terminal is filled with a repeating message from the filesystem [00:12] RenagadeX: you see any error messages? [00:12] so what is all the talk about linux being so dame better than windeos [00:12] gparted wont start up because it's waiting for some kind of resolution, I'm sure [00:12] AxleLonghorn, yea fsck it [00:13] AxleLonghorn, first unmount and fsck the device and remount [00:13] weeb_: Naw, I dl'ed a bad graphics driver from ATI [00:13] yall tell me [00:13] dotblank: it's not mounted [00:13] hmm [00:13] dotblank: it's in between [00:13] Guest1939, it is because Linux is as easy to use as Windows, is much more secure than Windows, and has better memory allocation than Windows [00:13] there's a folder in /dev/ [00:13] AxleLonghorn, type sync [00:13] and? [00:13] !xorg [00:13] The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution [00:13] does nothing [00:13] RenagadeX: so you are seeing that xserver error on having a bad card? [00:14] AxleLonghorn, make sure you kill anything that may try to remount it [00:14] Guest1939, if you read the message...linux hasent been taken down by hackers when windows has in 1 min and mac osx in 10 [00:14] M4ur0: It means that parts of it are broke but you canstill reformat it to ignore the bad sectors [00:14] once its unmounted fsck it [00:14] you guys are linux pros ....so why dont you guys just help me out [00:14] *SIGH* @ Guest1939 [00:14] weeb_: I just see a extremely pixelated badly colored Ubuntu logo strung across the top of the screen repeatedly [00:14] dotblank: what do I kill? I'm fairly new to filesystem stuff, never had to care before [00:14] how do i i format it to ignore the bad sectors? [00:14] Guest1939, the only way to compromise a Linux machine is to gain access to the root account, and that cannot be done via the internet [00:15] well just issue the mount command to see if its in fact mounted [00:15] mnaines: Lies, really. [00:15] If you have any access to a shell, then most of the root exploits will drop you to root. [00:15] AxleLonghorn, if it is then run sudo umount /dev/??? on it [00:15] www.milw0rm.com for example lists somel. [00:15] RenagadeX: Clt-alt-f1? [00:15] s/some1/some/ [00:15] really r u sure is has happinen to me a hacker trysd to get into my root acc [00:15] FloridaGuy: are you trying to say it's impossible to gain unauthorized priveleges on a linux machine that's silly [00:15] dotblank: it isn't mounted [00:15] weeb_: oh [00:16] weeb_: maybe [00:16] AxleLonghorn, you should be safe to fsck it then [00:16] by the internet [00:16] . [00:16] Guest1939, the key word is TRIED...He most likely failed [00:16] weeb_: I know basiclly nothing of linux :D [00:16] Guest1939: gnu.org/philosophy [00:16] no i got them off [00:16] AxleLonghorn, if you are still unsure then reboot and dont mount the drive [00:16] Irishmanluke, Guest1939, here's an idea of how much safer Linux is compared to Windows XP - 400 of the world's best hackers brought down Windows XP in just 2 minutes.

Any ideas. [00:16] Is there any fix for the problem with firefox and flashplayer? I do not have a firefoxrc file to alter and I can't find a solution that doesn't include that [00:17] FloridaGuy: old news is old. [00:17] Guest1939, do what I do and store all your mission-critical data on external hard drives then configure them so you have to manually mount them, then when you're not using the drives, switch them off so that even if someone gains access to the machine remotely they cannot mount the drives [00:17] if u can crake into a windeos os you can crak into a linux os [00:17] thats what the other guys was telling guest1939 [00:17] RenagadeX: yeah it should do.. well if you have a bad driver.. that live cd fails.. you will have to search for its details. [00:17] M4ur0: when you install ubuntu it will do that [00:18] hi every one, here is my question -- I want ubuntu to boot right into a terminal not the gui, is there a way to do it through the gui or do i need to edit a bash file in the terminal [00:18] Guest1939: Not really, they are inherently differently designed from a security point of view. [00:18] Guest1939, I dont know why we bother with you trolls [00:18] Guest1939, can you crack into windows [00:18] dotblank: Hell yeah. [00:18] yes i can crak into windeos os [00:18] adrian__: As in, when your PC turns on, you want just a terminal? [00:18] Guest1939: Thats a thrilling story, but this is not #scriptkiddies [00:18] also i am not a fucking troll ass hole [00:19] how do I find what version of ubuntu I have installed? [00:19] i have tried to install ubuntu and it said that the hard drive has bad sectors. I have tried reformatting it and it say's error ..

I do not want it to boot right into the gui. I need the terminal and to see the servies load and whatever eles loads. I know one can click the lower left hand side of the screen and select the promt to boot into fail safe terminal but that sucks. Is there a bash file to edit to get this to work. [00:31] b3rz3rk3r: Monmouth, Il It's near the mississippi river(I can be more specific if necessary) [00:31] so the answear is to put virtual box from repository??? [00:31] adrian__ what's ubunto ? [00:32] edbian, haha, no i just needed your country :p [00:32] read the topic [00:32] Hi all [00:32] thats the solution [00:32] I never used mkv file, but now I have to burn it in a DVD and I don't know how to do this. Simply burn it with brasero like a normal avi file? [00:32] adrian__: Be more specific. Would you like it so that your system boots to a CLI and then you have to run a command to start the GUI once you've logged in? That's very easy to set up. [00:32] edbian, you want to get one thats from an english speaking country im guessing? (makes google easier) [00:32] b3rz3rk3r: I would apprieciate it in my language. Yes [00:33] I downloaded a few icon themes from gnome look org [00:33] Anyone know of a how-to for ubuntu on a mobile phone?

[00:38] i have an issue with my internet why dose it now allow me to connect i am also useing a wired connection [00:38] what files MOUD [00:38] not* [00:38] not letting me connect [00:38] its a fresh intall of v.9 something [00:38] edbian: I don't want to create a CD or ISO, I just want the files in there to reuse after I reinstall ubuntu [00:38] zenlunatic: the files on the repositories [00:39] Guys how bout some help for llua and nErVe [00:39] <3 [00:39] MOUD: synaptic can save a registry thing so after reinstall you point it to that registry and installs those packages [00:39] i installed this blue junior theme but the icons doesnt match the screen shot, and i dont see the choice in the icons tab [00:39] http://www.ubuntu-art.org/content/show.php?content=72003&forumpage=0&PHPSESSID=75aee065418b3e9bd5c52933e2ec91e6 [00:39] MOUD: probably not configs though. just backup ~ and /root [00:40] meway, you need to be more specific about your problem, including how your network is setup and how you are connected to the internet [00:40] I see. [00:40] Yeah, I'm still having the problem with firefox and konqueror "Waiting for x.com..." for almost every site. Still stuck... [00:40] thanks all. [00:40] llua: The makers of those themes aren't rigourous. Whoever it was simply used a screen shot of their computer (using that icon theme) for a demonstration of their theme. Just because those icons are in the shot doesn't mean they're included in the file you downloaded. That's my best guess. [00:40] gonna do a reinstall in ubuntu and I'll be back later [00:41] zenlunatic: can you do thatwith aptitude only [00:41] Irishmanluke: no idea but you can with synaptic [00:41] Cannot install 'virtualbox-ose' [00:41] This application conflicts with other installed software. To install 'virtualbox-ose' the conflicting software must be removed first. [00:41] Switch to the 'synaptic' package manager to resolve this conflict. === jackson is now known as jackson_ [00:41] thats what i was thinking, i'm try to contact him to ask which he used [00:41] llua: are we so unimportant. [00:41] im installing android on my HTC Touch [00:41] Hydrid: So switch to synaptic [00:41] so nice [00:41] b3rz3rk3r i just installed ubuntu the one on the top of the page of ubuntu.com ok i clicked on the browser and it says its in offline mode [00:41] crazy watching my windows mobile phone bootup linux LOL [00:41] i went to synaptics wrote virtualbox [00:41] =[ [00:42] is there anyway to tell if my pc has agp/pci/pic-e slots without opening it up [00:42] nErVe: I just answered his question! Stop whining [00:42] but what to do [00:42] the files i see they are not checked [00:42] meway, have you clicked on the computer icon at the top right and chosen a network to connect to? [00:42] Hydrid: Did you find the package? [00:42] zefyx: nice I'm on my g1 [00:42] yes [00:42] edbian yes [00:42] is there anyway to tell if my pc has agp/pci/pic-e slots without opening it up? [00:42] Hydrid: Right click a package in synaptic and choose "mark for installation" [00:43] Irishmanluke, how are you finding it? i was thinking of getting one in 2 weeks or so.. [00:43] Hydrid: Then click the apply button in the main manu bar [00:43] b3rz3rk3r i dont see a computer icon i see 5 bars that look like cell phone bars and i just chose auto etho [00:43] and lmao it just worked [00:43] imachine: lspci, cat various /proc files [00:43] b3rz3rk3r thank you XD [00:43] imran: Perhaps looking the bios? I'm not really sure. I usually just look... [00:43] edbian and why it says there is a conflict??? is the program already installed? [00:43] meway, yup.. those indicate wireless [00:43] meway, np [00:44] Hydrid: I don't know what the conflict is but synaptic is more powerful than Add/Remove It will help you. [00:44] b3rz3rk3r it has wireless capability but im wired in [00:44] intresting [00:44] b3rz3rk3r: I enjoy it but it's been afewmonths and the wifi has broken, I'lll just get them to send me a new one though [00:44] anyway off to fix this server up [00:44] lol [00:44] thanks again [00:44] edbian, k thanks, its my dads pc and he doesnt wanna open it up lol [00:44] lol [00:44] héy [00:44] imran: Well knowing the number of open slots is pretty pointless if you can't open the box up to add cards. [00:44] b3rz3rk3r: there's a great ssh client with port forwarding and everything [00:44] héy evrybody [00:45] !hi | cracker [00:45] cracker: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [00:45] edbian, ill be getting his computer in a couple weeks/monthes and need to know what kinda graphics cards i can get ;D [00:45] thanx bro [00:45] imran: Nice! :) Are you gonna run compiz? [00:45] edbian, prob. [00:45] imran: nice [00:45] edbian, im looking at spending <$60, how is this card : http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0308043 [00:46] i will tel you something i'm tired i goona now in bad [00:46] for speal [00:46] so my external harddrive is messed up [00:46] toworrow [00:46] speak tolking [00:46] cia [00:46] Irishmanluke, thats cool, iv been playing with SSH quite a bit recently, so that would be fun. I kinda have my heart set on a G1 for the keyboard.. but really any android phone would do as long as it has a keyboard [00:46] it's fs is VFAT, it refuses to mount, and fsck can't fix the problemm [00:46] imran: That's a great price for that card IMO! [00:47] edbian, i thought so - but sadly im broke right now and they only have 11 in stock :D [00:47] imran: PNY: good brand, 1024DDR2: good ram and a lot of it!, pcie: good connection [00:47] edbian, but once i get enough money ill just watch for a good one to go on sale [00:47] trying to mirror ubuntu, debmirror says duplicate codename hardy.. what can be the problem? [00:47] imran: Make sure it's linux friendly. (nvidia is) [00:48] hey guys can anyone recommend a good wifi card, cost is not necessarily a factor. [00:49] innomen: pci/pc-slot/usb? [00:49] something with support out of the box would rock but is not absolutly required [00:49] PCI [00:49] b3rz3rk3r: my only gripesreally are with t-mobile but unlike otheersmartphones they haven't blocked skype or google voice in the market [00:49] innomen, does it need draft-n support? [00:49] innomen, im running a Dlink DWA556 extreme N, its out of the box with ubuntu [00:49] the most powerfull card is the usb awus036h [00:50] Can anyone tell me how to get sound to work with firefox and flashplayer on Jaunty please? [00:50] psycho_oreos, what is draft n? i would like it to see N networks if thats what you mean [00:50] innomen, see and use [00:50] root5_, by what measure do you mean most powerful;? [00:50] psycho_oreos, then yes [00:50] Irishmanluke, i would probably be hacking it and using custom firmware, so thats not really an issue, but good to know [00:50] zehava, try to install flashplugin-nonfree or something like that [00:50] Hi, does anyone know whether there's a quicklauncher panel (that allows drag'n'drop of apps) for xubuntu? [00:50] b3rz3rk3r, i'll look into it [00:51] root5_ did that, flash player plays the video fine, but no sound. All other sounds works, just not from flash player [00:51] b3rz3rk3r, pci express? like a video card slot? [00:51] edoceo, EW! My dad just said he's gonna wait till windows 7 comes out to buy his pc (Oct. 22) [00:51] innomen, i mean 500mW, injection compatible [00:51] innomen, awus036h is high powered dongle, it sends more power through the radio waves [00:51] edbian, EW! My dad just said he's gonna wait till windows 7 comes out to buy his pc (Oct. 22) [00:51] innomen, yes it is, i thin kthey do a pci-e version too if that helps? [00:51] edoceo, sorry wron person [00:51] root5_, 300mW+ TX rate [00:52] b3rz3rk3r, my video slot is in use heehh [00:52] i just got my ubuntu 9,04 and i install it in inside windows xp sp2 and it install and then ask restart and after restart computer it keep complete the installtion and then after this i got only black screen and nothing come up so how fix this? [00:53] b3rz3rk3r, that is truly an insane card [00:53] psycho_oreos, what are you trying to say ? [00:53] innomen, yes it is :D [00:53] innomen, well, u said you wanted a nice one :p [00:53] root5_, trying to correct you, many people get confused over its true capabilities :p [00:54] b3rz3rk3r, that i did [00:54] b3rz3rk3r, thats the price tag on that communications satilie? [00:54] psycho_oreos, well give me the link [00:54] whats* [00:54] innomen, haha, no expense was spared on my gaming rig [00:54] X seems to take an entire core on my quadcore.... any ideas? [00:54] root5_, where can i buy this usb dongle? [00:55] innomen, ebay, etc [00:55] b3rz3rk3r, so cost? [00:55] psycho_oreos, couldent find one on newegg [00:56] innomen, i think i paid about $100+ for it,, but that was a while ago.. so it will be cheaper now [00:56] innomen, its only available at a few select stores.. there's rokland and data-alliance, etc [00:56] innomen, well on the internet only, it's not even legal to in certain country, in france the windows drivers forces the card under 300mW [00:56] in a dual-head config of gnome, when I move the mouse between each screen it works ok, but it leaves a mouse pointer behind in the other window. is it possible to have just the one pointer? [00:56] Stevethepirate, have u check out the process manager to see whats eating your cpu? [00:56] i just got my ubuntu 9,04 and i install it in inside windows xp sp2 and it install and then ask restart and after restart computer it keep complete the installtion and then after this i got only black screen and nothing come up so how fix this? [00:56] innomen, but I bought it on another website, but cant remember the name, I suggest you browse some wifi related forums [00:56] b3rz3rk3r: Yes, hence I said X above. [00:57] Can anyone help me with my endlessly waiting browser? [00:57] Stevethepirate, is the memory use more than normal? [00:57] i just got my ubuntu 9,04 and i install it in inside windows xp sp2 and it install and then ask restart and after restart computer it keep complete the installtion and then after this i got only black screen and nothing come up so how fix this? [00:57] root5_, https://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/oetcf/eas/reports/ViewExhibitReport.cfm?mode=Exhibits&RequestTimeout=500&calledFromFrame=N&application_id=735762&fcc_id=%27UQ2AWUS036H%27 [00:57] b3rz3rk3r: Seems to stablise after like 4 mins.. ok now [00:58] Stevethepirate, i cant think of a reason that it would grind away like that [00:58] Stevethepirate, issues with compiz perhaps? [00:58] psycho_oreos, there's a list of pdf files [00:58] root5_, the answer is within that page [00:58] lo all. Is there anything like XBMC that runs on PPC? [00:58] I can't start gparted, when trying to start it from terminal, I get the error "Could not initialise connection to hald. Normally this means the HAL daemon (hald) is not running or not ready." - found a forum post mentioning that if the dbus and HAL daemons are started manually, gParted will run - but I can't figure out how to start those daemons. [00:59] psycho_oreos, i wont enable JS, I don't see any relevant information on it as I see it, but if the awus036h is "just" a 300mW card, there must be another reference over the web [00:59] hi my name is tony I am from Guadalajara and I am looking for a beautiful girl my email is: suitdetony@hotmail.com tank you [00:59] Whats that mplayer library that displays movies in ASCI [01:00] suitdetony, not in here.. thanks [01:00] i just got my ubuntu 9,04 and i install it in inside windows xp sp2 and it install and then ask restart and after restart computer it keep complete the installtion and then after this i got only black screen and nothing come up so how fix this? [01:00] root5_, what is the ezxact search term i should use for the usb in question? and how doe sit compare to the one b3rz3rk3r suggested? === guest354 is now known as smartasstronaut_ [01:00] psycho_oreos, i am reading that you have to iwpriv wlan0 highpower 1 in order to get the max of the card [01:00] Stevethepirate: AAlib [01:00] i just got my ubuntu 9,04 and i install it in inside windows xp sp2 and it install and then ask restart and after restart computer it keep complete the installtion and then after this i got only black screen and nothing come up so how fix this? [01:01] Platypus-Man: ta. [01:01] root5_, I highly doubt you can achieve 500mW, its not really legal and again, its only a maximum transmit level, doesn't mean that it can receive at the same level as well [01:01] innomen, awus036h wireless card forum maybe, youll find to much commercial links i suggest you try and find a good wifi forum were they recommand websites [01:02] and awus036h only does b/g it doesn't do n-draft [01:03] psycho_oreos, well, i'm investigating, i think your right, it's not 500mW, but you can push the card to that power level, but it seems to be dangerous for the card [01:03] Watching porn with -vo aa is best EVAR when high [01:03] i just got my ubuntu 9,04 and i install it in inside windows xp sp2 and it install and then ask restart and after restart computer it keep complete the installtion and then after this i got only black screen and nothing come up so how fix this? [01:03] hey [01:03] my ubuntu is completely up-to-date [01:03] root5_, it is for those who persist, I have a pair of those and I　never try to overrun it [01:03] and now it won't shutdown [01:03] root5_, it's all over ebay and various google shopping results [01:03] hi [01:04] shutdown from the gui in gnome or executing "sudo shutdown -h now" hangs before it is shutdown [01:04] and it never shuts down [01:04] how do I fix it !:( [01:05] psycho_oreos, i read something interesting, it actually uses 300mW, and you'll never get above this value if you just use the card like that [01:05] i just got my ubuntu 9,04 and i install it in inside windows xp sp2 and it install and then ask restart and after restart computer it keep complete the installtion and then after this i got only black screen and nothing come up so how fix this? [01:05] root5_, yes its mentioned previously but again its only TX level [01:06] hey how do you repair apt-get [01:06] i just got my ubuntu 9,04 and i install it in inside windows xp sp2 and it install and then ask restart and after restart computer it keep complete the installtion and then after this i got only black screen and nothing come up so how fix this? [01:06] psycho_oreos, but you know, on the web you have the awus036EH => 300mW and the awus036h -> 500 mW, aren't you confusing ? [01:07] root5_, no because the link I　have provided to you on the fcc website, there is a pdf file specifically detailing its TX power [01:07] i just got my ubuntu 9,04 and i install it in inside windows xp sp2 and it install and then ask restart and after restart computer it keep complete the installtion and then after this i got only black screen same as MS-DOS and nothing come up so how fix this? [01:07] psycho_oreos, ok [01:07] and don't forget theres awus036e which only does 30mW [01:08] is there a software similar to cfosspeed of windows, for give 'ping' priority to determinate app or protocols? [01:08] how do you repair apt-get [01:08] b3rz3rk3r, is there a non pci-e version fo that card? [01:08] i just got my ubuntu 9,04 and i install it in inside windows xp sp2 and it install and then ask restart and after restart computer it keep complete the installtion and then after this i got only black screen same as MS-DOS and nothing come up so how fix this? [01:09] innomen, which card is this? [01:09] innomen, yes there is [01:09] that evil dlink DWA556 === DaZ- is now known as DaZ [01:09] ah [01:09] and you wanted usb?

[01:15] psycho_oreos, the first was netgear wg111t and it lasted years andf the other was edup something 54m and it lasted about a year, not bad for 10$ shipping included [01:15] * Bity waits patiently _.._ [01:15] innomen, im telling you all this from memory, so i dont have my machine handy to check [01:15] b3rz3rk3r, oh ok, sorry [01:15] innomen, but im sure the card is the DWA556 extreme N [01:16] innomen, so just google for that, or use newegg or something. you are in USA right? [01:16] innomen, lol netgear has a poor reputation for versioning their own devices and I had a wg111v2 (latter model) which is trying to kill itself these days, horribly designed and full of lies [01:16] b3rz3rk3r, thats the pcie version the dlink page is madness, i'm trying to find a list so i can look above and below i hope it works that way heehh [01:16] psycho_oreos, yea i got it free so i cant complain [01:16] innomen, did you not see the link I pasted from madwifi-project ?

[01:30] yellowrooster: in terminal type sudo gparted [01:30] my update packages won't authenticate, but I can't reinstall the ubuntu keyring cause it fails to install too [01:30] interesting [01:30] * b3rz3rk3r applauds FloodBot1 [01:30] i just got my ubuntu 9,04 and i install it in inside windows xp sp2 and it install and then ask restart and after restart computer it keep complete the installtion and then after this i got only black screen and nothing come up so how fix this? [01:30] pglenn: b3rz3rk3r can't i simply type a command to format? Do I need to get a program to format? [01:30] yellorooster: use fdisk [01:31] gparted is built into your installation, you can use fdisk [01:31] yellowrooster, yes, fdisk, but i find gparted more friendly.. esp when things dont go as planned [01:31] !libdvdread3 gstreamer0 [01:31] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [01:32] I'm trying ifconfig eth0 on my laptop now. I'm not sure it'll shed light on much... *copies result to pastebin now..* [01:32] b3rz3rk3r: can fdisk format a drive innto fat32 format?

[01:32] yellowrooster, yes i believe it can [01:33] last I used it it did yellow rooster [01:33] yellowrooster I think it was just fat in the type list but it was fat32 [01:34] Sil great [01:34] yellowrooster, remember if its mounted you wont be able to format it, in which case you will need to burn a Gparted Livecd to do so if its essential to your machines operation (ie your OS drive) [01:34] How I do install libdvdread3 [01:34] b3rz3rk3r: i wanted to format my iPod. [01:34] ToStItOs, sudo apt-get isntall Libdvdread3 ? [01:35] yellowrooster, ah.. lol.. well thats hardly essential :p [01:35] b3rz3rk3r: is not an iPod mounted? can't i format a mounted iPod? I'm confused [01:35] hi guys [01:35] yellowrooster, why do u want to use fat? [01:35] you can umount the ipod [01:35] Well, I'm not sure if anyone's helping me with my stuck browser, but here's my ifconfig anyway - http://paste.ubuntu.com/257820/ [01:35] yellowrooster, just go into file manager, click the eject button, then go into terminal, type sudo fdisk -l, select the device, then format it [01:36] b3rz3rk3r: i believe you need an ipod to be in either Fat32 or HFS+. [01:36] HFS+ is Mac formatted. Fat32 is Windows formatted. [01:36] i don't think an iPod will run if it's not formatted in one of the 2 formats, b3rz3rk3r [01:36] yellowrooster, you can also have it in NTFS if u want to use it as a disk drive [01:37] yellowrooster, iv made one into ext3 for fun before [01:37] b3rz3rk3r: yes, i do want to use it as a disk drive, but i also want to use it as an audio player [01:37] yellowrooster, ah,, yeah then fat is best [01:37] yellowrooster, remember 4GB limit tho ;) [01:37] Hmm. I cannot run "apt-get update" today? [01:37] b3rz3rk3r: if iPod is not in FAT or HFS+, it won't work as audio player, right? [01:37] It keeps telling me cannot connect. [01:38] I can connect to any other site. [01:38] b3rz3rk3r: 4GB limit for what? my iPod is 30 GB. [01:38] yellowrooster, 4gb limit for the fat fs [01:38] b3rz3rk3r: i don't get it. [01:38] yellowrooster, files cannot exceed 4gb [01:38] yellowrooster, google it [01:38] b3rz3rk3r: oh, one file on iPod can't be more than 4GB. [01:38] yellowrooster, yes [01:38] I can ping us.archive.ubuntu.com but I cannot run "apt-get update." Fails everytime. [01:38] no prob. most of my audio are 3 MB - 20 MB. [01:39] sup peopleeeee [01:39] can someone please tell me how to install the gtk sources so that i can use them to write code? [01:39] using gnome xchat here and the username panel on the right haas gone? [01:39] simran: Just hangin out helpin where I can [01:40] Hola. What can i use to rip a dvd to avi? [01:40] Laserbeak43, install the libgtk2.0-dev package [01:40] ok thx [01:41] unop: with that i can use "#include " [01:41] ? [01:41] b3rz3rk3r: which is my iPod http://pastebin.ca/1539654 ? [01:41] Laserbeak43, if there's a particular header file you know about and want -- you can find out what package provides it -- http://packages.ubuntu.com [01:41] isit ok to have home as ext 4 and root as ext3? [01:41] k [01:42] b3rz3rk3r: oops. my iPod is not plugged in. [01:42] yellowrooster, lol [01:42] hi im reading a book that covers bash and it says that settings are in the ~/.bashrc and ~/.profile, but i dont see either of these files? [01:43] isit ok to mix filesystems on diff partitions [01:43] i see a .bash_history [01:43] mom___ are you on an admin account [01:43] Sil, nope im in the user account [01:43] mom__: .bash_history lists commands youve done in the past [01:43] hello [01:44] "apt-get update" is failing. Help? [01:44] mom__: perhaps you have a .bash_profile? [01:44] maco, nope [01:44] yellowrooster, if you still cant tell when its in,, check the formatting and size.. that should give it away [01:44] Do you know a GUI prototype software ? [01:44] mom as far as I know you have to be on admin account [01:44] there is a .bashrc.swp [01:44] mom__: hmm have you used the terminal yet? perhaps those files arent generated until needed... [01:44] I think the default ubuntu uses .profile, not .bash_profile [01:44] what version are you useing mom [01:44] Sil: why would you need to be admin to have a bash config file? all users can use bash [01:44] b3rz3rk3r: check here: http://pastebin.ca/1539658. I think it's /sdc2. [01:45] check /etc/skel to see whats normal in there. [01:45] where can i get the latest ubuntu dvd ( i mean the one with updates ( i think it was 9.04.2)) [01:45] maco I said as far as I know....i could be wrong [01:45] Sil 9.04 [01:45] Dr_Willis: youre right [01:45] yellowrooster, compare the two... the only new device is your ipod [01:46] mom__: .bashrc.swp would suggest that the file is currently being edited [01:46] there is a profile.swp [01:46] .profile.swp [01:46] hello [01:46] mmm im not editing it [01:46] b3rz3rk3r: i tried going to /dev/sdc2 in nautilus, but couldn't work. [01:47] yellowrooster: you have to mount it [01:47] maco: my ipod is already mounted.... i see it on my desktop. [01:47] can somebody tell me where can i get the latest ubuntu dvd ( i mean the one with updates ( i think it was 9.04.2)) [01:47] yellowrooster: so go to where its mounted instead of to its device node [01:47] maco: he is wanting to use fdisk on it it can't be mounted [01:47] or are you saying I have to mount my Ipod onto /dev/sdc2? [01:47] i tried to vi .profile but there was nothing in it [01:47] i tried to vi .bashrc and there was nothing in that [01:48] I have a video/display question., I have a projector hooked up to my machine, the screen is to small, so im trying to shrink the desktop a little [01:48] maco it's at /media/myipod [01:48] anyone know how to do that [01:48] mom__: ah yeah the vi on .bashrc is why you say .bashrc.swp [01:48] maco: but why does fdisk -l NOT say /media/myipod? [01:48] monster: 640 is normal projectore size [01:48] yellowrooster: fdisk shows the devices, not the mountpoints. [01:48] yellowrooster: ifyou want mountpoints, use the "mount" command [01:48] yellowrooster: fdisk shows DEvices , not the mountpoints [01:48] im running at 800x600, but thats not what im taking about. [01:48] :) [01:49] maco, I want to confirm whether /dev/sdc2 is equal to /media/myipod. how can i confirm? [01:49] maco, right but, there wasnt one [01:49] yellowrooster: the mount command [01:49] I need it to zoom out a bit [01:49] yellowrooster, it is [01:49] b3rz3rk3r: i just want to make sure. [01:49] where is my .bashrc and .profile stored? [01:49] mom__: i suppose it just uses the default one from /etc/ until you decide to change it [01:49] ah ok [01:49] monster: i think that has to do with the projector settings [01:49] maco, what's the command i should use: sudo mount /dev/sdc2 ? [01:49] yellowrooster, from the pastes you made.. it is [01:49] for some reason windows handled the projector fine, but in ubuntu the project acts like its too close [01:49] mom__: i think if you dont have one of your own it falls back to /etc/bash.bashrc [01:49] mom__: and /etc/profile [01:50] monster: you can zoom with compiz [01:50] monster: i frget the hotey [01:50] mom__: if youd like to override them, you can create your own in ~/.bashrc and ~/.profile [01:50] mom__: all that stuff is stored at ~ [01:50] gogeta: hmmm [01:50] yellowrooster: no, just type "mount" [01:50] monster, Super and mouse wheel [01:50] and it is .profile and not .bash_profile ? [01:50] kevdog: she doesnt have them in ~ and is asking why [01:50] can somebody tell me where can i get the latest ubuntu dvd ( i mean the one with updates ( i think it was 9.04.2)) [01:50] mom__: .bash_profile is just yet another available option for config file naming [01:51] monster: with ff you can make text bigger with view [01:51] mom__: by the way, you are welcome to join us in #ubuntu-women if you'd like [01:51] mom__: How can you not have them there? Thats crazy! Ok I get it but then just copy them from /etc/bash.bashrc as previously suggested [01:51] maco: Are you the famous macogirl? [01:51] maco, why women know more about bash? [01:51] kevdog: she doesnt need to copy them. per-user ones simply override those. if they dont exist, the ones in /etc/ are used [01:52] mom__: no, i'm just saying if you want to join over there you can. at least, im assuming based on "mom" that you're a woman [01:52] kevdog: yes [01:52] kevdog: why am i famous though? [01:52] hello, anybody can help me about midi? I am running Ubuntu 904 and can play midi in totem, but cannot play midi in nted, how to check what is the problem? [01:52] kevdog: i was MsMaco a couple days ago [01:52] maco, maybe its just for my tatoo [01:52] do you know a user interface design tools open source and free? [01:52] maco: Aren't you on the forums alot -- I'm guessing an identity crisis here [01:52] kevdog: macogw is my forum moderator nam [01:52] copy them if you want to edit them [01:52] is there any good working spotify open source clients? [01:52] seon: Glade [01:52] seon: glade for gtk/gnome apps. qtdesigner for qt/kde [01:53] Everytime I try to run `apt-get update` unable to connect to server errors. I can ping both security.ubuntu.com and us.archive.ubuntu.com on the machine in question. [01:53] maco: Yep you're the one -- nice to talk with you!! Wow I'm honored in a small way!! [01:53] do you know one not library specific [01:53] kevdog: dont be silly [01:53] seon: umm.... a photo editor and the pencil brush? [01:53] so it doesnt matter if it is .bash_profile or .profile? [01:54] ok no others solutions than the photo editor [01:54] lol [01:54] maco: No really -- I'm not being silly -- I'm happy to run into people whose advice I really appreciate (and comments too)! [01:54] rd1381: There isn't a 9.04.2. Point releases are only done for LTS versions, so there's an 8.04.2 (or .3 maybe by now), but 9.04 is the latest. [01:54] JSG: what ubuntu version [01:54] Ben64, Server. [01:54] rd1381: that said, do you need a DVD link for 9.04? [01:54] mom__: .profile is always teh first thing called [01:54] hey, can anyone help me make a shared folder over my home router? one tower is is connected via cat5 cable and a laptop on wireless [01:54] oh [01:54] JSG: which version.....? [01:54] Ben64, 9.04 [01:54] mom__: on ubuntu, .profile by default calls the .bashrc for bash-specific configuration if you're using bash. if you're using tcsh or ksh or mksh or zsh, it differs. some of those use .profile directly [01:54] ty [01:55] so i should get 9.04 and update it? [01:55] i noticed that more and more memory becomes "in use" the longer i work in ubuntu, a restart seems to do the trick, but is there a way to fix that without a reboot? [01:55] rww: no i got the torrent link [01:55] rd1381: yeah [01:55] mom__: profile is only called for interactive shells. I think .profile is called before .bash_profile although I usually prefer calling it by .bash_profile [01:55] rww:so i should get 9.04 and update it? [01:55] rd1381: yes [01:56] seon: ui designers generate the files that the programming languages need. you can set default sttings and sizes and things, and then theyll output a file that your C or C++ or Python or whatever reads to create the GUI. since the widget names differ, you cant use a .glade in Qt where it expects a .ui [01:56] MaGicMaX: two things. learn to use top or htop to identify what's using the memory, and either use nice, or kill the ones that are misbehaving [01:56] MaGicMaX: is this cached memory? or memory used by programs? [01:56] rww:i use opensuse rightnow and it has a update channel that works very well (i just download the diference and with my internet connection thats good) [01:56] mom__: Not to get too technical you're probably using the bash shell which is the default -- which is what I would suggest. Hence all you need really is a .bashrc and .bash_profile [01:56] faileas: i thought nice was about cpu priority, not memory usage [01:56] hello all, I'm running intrepid [01:57] I was wondering if there's still those security repos [01:57] kevdog, ah ok so there is a subtle difference between .profile and .bash_profile, .profile is general, .bash_profile is bash specific [01:57] rww:does ubuntu has a update(official one) channel? [01:57] kevdog: no .bash_profile needed really... [01:57] heatxsink_: intrepid is still supported, and thus has security updates, yes. [01:57] heatxsink_: yes for 8 months more [01:57] maco> do you know one wxwidgets i can use inside Eclipse? [01:57] david1: Just right-click on the folder and "Sharing" [01:57] is there a 64 bit ubuntu on cdrom ? [01:57] seon: eclipse has a gui designer, doesnt it? [01:57] no dvd please [01:57] zophy: yes [01:57] Ben64, any idea? [01:57] rd1381: I haven't used OpenSuSE, so I'm not sure what you're asking, but Ubuntu is set up to get official updates by default, yes. [01:57] maco> i don't know [01:58] hello [01:58] zophy: releases.ubuntu.com will have it. itll say amd64 intead of i386 [01:58] Ben64, Why would I be able to ping it but apt-get update fails. [01:58] mom__: yes there is a subtle difference, I guess you don't really need .bash_profile if you have a .profile, however call me a dinosaur -- I just prefer .bash_profile. I never use an alternative shell -- that's a way to drive someone crazy if you ask me. The csh is just crazy!! [01:58] zophy: Go to http://download.ubuntu.com/ and click "64-bit version" near the bottom of the page. [01:58] zophy: cdrom is the normal way. [01:58] seon: peek around. i think eclipse can do UIs, though im not sure if it can do wxwidgets [01:58] JSG: no idea, figured you were running an outdated version [01:58] tnx [01:58] seon, for java apps, I recommend Netbean's gui designer, better, but still worse than delphi or C#'s :) [01:58] zophy: it is available via torrent also [01:58] leaf-sheep: yup i did that it says "sharing options" though, then i clicked share folder radio button [01:58] kevdog: i hear mksh is nice though. and zsh has extremely cool tab-completion [01:58] danbhfive: well at first theres very little mem (like 200mb) used with very little cache, then overtime cache goes way up, (up to 70% of my 3.2GB total) then bit by bit cache goes down and the memory in use by program goes up, ive seen it go right up to 2.9GB in use by programs [01:59] JSG: try "apt-get install imagemagick" [01:59] kevdog: but keep ksh88 FAR AWAY [01:59] xrfang> ok in fact i am trying to be general cause i need to put some pics inside my proposal [01:59] rww:thanks for ur answers.so can u tell me ,when u update a package from official update does it download the whole new package or just the difference ? [01:59] rd1381: whole package [01:59] so when i goto display settings, i dont see an option for higher resolution then 800x600, how do i resolve this? [01:59] rd1381: whole thing [01:59] diff's wouldn't work on binaries [01:59] xrfang> and after to give some technical directions (programming languages..) [01:59] hello [01:59] oh that bad [01:59] anyone know how I would get python 2.6 on intrepid? [01:59] rd1381: there is experimentation ongoing with how to make it download just the difference in 9.10 [01:59] rd1381: The whole package. The Debian people are working on diff stuff, but it's nowhere near ready yet. [01:59] thats bad [01:59] david1: If you see a small emblem sticked on the folder you toggled on to share, then it's shared. [01:59] how do i install git on my computer? [01:59] there are also some html gui designers (ajax), quite fancy [01:59] rd1381: australia? [01:59] !info git-core | meway [01:59] meway: git-core (source: git-core): fast, scalable, distributed revision control system. In component main, is optional. Version 1:1.6.0.4-1ubuntu2 (jaunty), package size 4220 kB, installed size 8784 kB [01:59] ?? [01:59] rd1381: bad? thats pretty much normal for most os's [02:00] australia?? [02:00] maco: I have no idea about those shells -- I hear good things about zsh -- if its just a variant of the Korne shell, such as bash, then I probably wouldn't have a hard time with it. If its wickedly different -- I'd be lost. [02:00] rd1381: australia has insane internet prices and charges by amount you use [02:00] !info zsh [02:00] zsh (source: zsh): A shell with lots of features. In component main, is optional. Version 4.3.9-4ubuntu1 (jaunty), package size 4085 kB, installed size 12264 kB [02:00] maco> are you from australia? [02:00] no suse uses difference mechanism and its faster [02:00] seon: no, but ive some friends there [02:00] that dose not tell me how to install it [02:00] ... [02:00] maco> i am in australia [02:00] Ben64, nopt. Says it is not available, not referred or missing or obsoleted. [02:00] no i am from iran :( and internet connection is shitty at best [02:00] suse uses RPM stuff.. and as far as i know - works the same way. [02:00] leaf-sheep: yup, i did this on the tower, how can i view it on the laptop now? [02:00] * kevdog thinks the zsh explanation -- ya that was helpful [02:01] maco> and i am agree with you [02:01] david1: Laptop --> Windows? Linux? MacOSX? [02:01] Ben64, if I cant run 'apt-get update' i wont have a up to date list of packages i can install [02:01] how do you boot into safe mode in linux [02:01] Dr_Willis: there is an rpm equiv to delta debs [02:01] leaf-sheep: both on ubuntu 9.04 [02:01] JSG: weird. soo... what did you do to repositories? [02:01] maco> for example we pay 100 AUD to have 25 Gb Dl/ul [02:01] maco> I am in melbourne [02:01] Ben64, fresh install off the disc. [02:01] rd1381: you could change it so you only get security updates if you want to minimize... [02:01] i tried openbsd once and i think it was ksh [02:02] JSG: do you have physical access to the machine? [02:02] Ben64, yah [02:02] i guess my question is, is this normal in linux, or is it some process doing it, if so, how can i find it, in System Monitor the biggest memory usage is firefox at only 80MB so im not sure how i got 2.4GB in use atm [02:02] maco: that would be a neat trick. But seems like it could get broken very quickly with lots of version changes.. of course Ubuntu disent do as many changes/updates as other disrtos.. :) so that may be handy. [02:02] ok leaf-sheep [02:02] david1: Open any Nautilus folder. Type "smb://" in the location bar. [02:02] Anyone here know how to disable the "Software Rasterizer"? [02:02] but i found a cool tip echo $0 and you can see the shell running! granted it is almost always bash in linux . . . [02:02] mom__: the first thing i do on solaris is install bash...especially on solaris 8. they only had the old crappy ksh [02:02] JSG: you might have some firewall blocking access [02:02] Dr_Willis: there's work on it for karmic [02:03] With the build-dep command associated with apt-get -- how do you ever find a list of the packages that build-dep wants to install (prior to installing them)? Is this possible? [02:03] Dr_Willis: theyre not using delta debs though :-/ some other method that is easier on the servers but doesnt get as dramatic a reduction in download amount [02:03] Ben64, as I said, I can reach the host by ping. [02:03] kevdog: you can use -S for simulate [02:03] leaf-sheep sudo apt-get install git-core dose not work it says E: couldn't find package git-core [02:03] leaf-sheep: yup, there is a WORKGROUP icon [02:03] kevdog: or if you "apt-cache show " you can see the list of build dependencies [02:03] leaf-sheep is there a way to fix that? [02:03] JSG: ok? ping isn't the same thing [02:03] meway: is this a new install? [02:03] yes [02:03] maco [02:03] maco: i know that and suse downloads the whole package for non official (like ur universe component) package supdates but for security updates it uses the difference mechanism [02:03] meway: maybe you need to run "sudo apt-get update" first [02:04] "Software Raterizer" [02:04] Anyone? [02:04] maco: Who puts together the build-dep libraries? [02:04] k i will do that [02:04] Anyone know of a simple tool to display the coordinates of the mouse's current position? [02:04] kevdog: huh? [02:04] is the LPI test multiple choice? [02:04] mom__: some of it [02:04] Phase: ive seen them befor.. but havent seen any lately.. [02:04] mom__: intending on taking it soon? [02:04] mom__: i need to register for mine....

[03:05] mnaines: it doesn't say anything about ext3 or ext4 [03:05] adamh, im kubuntu so thats gnome i think [03:05] Zorix: Right you are, my bad :) [03:05] what would i downsample with? [03:05] heatmzzr, chmod will do it for the entire foder [03:06] Zorix: soz [03:06] *sox [03:06] xangua, it will read ext3 and ext4... [03:06] heatmzzr: chown -R owner:group [03:06] DouglasK: Ubuntu 8.10 LTS doesn't exist [03:06] sox? [03:06] mnaines: will ............................................. [03:06] heatmzzr: oh sorry chmod .. i misread your question [03:06] Zorix: A bit of a hack-ish solution, but it'd work :). Yeah, sox. I don't know the syntax, I just know it's the swiss-army knife of command-line audio. [03:06] xangua: 8.04, my apologies [03:06] ok [03:07] makes me wish for the days of windows again..easy things are difficult now [03:07] GreenSkunk: what do i type? chmod and then? [03:08] bruno123, all you have to do with that program is set a drive letter for the Linux partition and it will read it regardless of the file system. it does NOT work for swap partitions however [03:08] heatmzzr: check out my script -> pastebinit bin/FixFiles.sh [03:08] http://pastebin.com/f3e127797 [03:08] Zorix: Nah, you just have to find the right program. I don't know what it is. [03:08] heatmzzr: depends on the permissions you want to set [03:08] heatmzzr: and http://pastebin.com/f2db6b8ec [03:08] find -type f -print0 | xargs -0 chmod 664 === EruditeHermit_ is now known as EruditeHermit [03:09] mnaines thanks, you're a real lifesaver [03:09] changes all dirs to be 664, [03:09] oh wait. thats for files.. :) [03:09] Question ... is there any known issue with using Ubuntu 8.04 LTS with Parallel IDE drives? [03:09] Good morning room [03:09] i'm thinking of switching my laptop to ubuntu, but would i be able to use the drivers in ubuntu? === |Draglor| is now known as Draglor [03:09] Dr_Willis, chmod 664 (folder name) works just as well [03:09] adamh: I'm only 40 myself and have been using windows longer then nix, been using Mac longer than either, but thanks [03:10] mnaines: depends on his needs. :) i use 755 for dirs.. [03:10] Kevin_: ubuntu has is own drivers [03:10] Kevin_: Drivers for what? Windows drivers and Linux drivers are completely different, but Linux drivers do exist for most devices. [03:10] how do i find out my DNS server [03:10] mnaines: that find -type f is for files.. -type d for dirs. thats the main diff. [03:10] how do i find out my dns server [03:10] Kevin_, you wont need windows drivers if thats what you mean [03:10] ? [03:10] cycrosism: Open a console, type "dig google.com"< and look for the "SERVER:" line. [03:11] kk [03:11] il ltry that [03:11] cycrosism: right clic in the network icon> info [03:11] !info dig [03:11] Package dig does not exist in jaunty [03:11] cycrosism: (or cat /etc/resolv.conf) [03:11] Dr Willis, I dont know if you got my last msg, my konversation got locked up [03:11] (but I like dig 'cuz it's educational) [03:11] ;; SERVER: 192.168.1.254#53(192.168.1.254) [03:11] dig google.com | grep SERVER [03:11] Hi to all, Is there a need to have an anti-virus for Ubuntu server? [03:11] What antivirus is available free for Ubuntu server platform? [03:11] what should the second line of a makefile look like for ubuntu ? mine is "make=make" and gives a missing separator [03:11] cycrosism: Looks like your DNS server is your router. [03:11] ohlie, u dont need av on linux mate [03:12] I just need to find out the IP address of my wireless [03:12] ohlie: been using clamav, and one from 'avg' here. [03:12] ohlie: I've used clamav. [03:12] yes adamh my DNS is my router i set it up that way [03:12] ohlie: gnu/linux antivirus only works for deleting windows virus [03:12] ohlie: (Not for the Linux computer itself, mind, but on an email server it can be configured to scan for Windows viruses) [03:13] Dr_Willis: the instructions page you gave me for cpulimit says step 2. WRITE CPULIMIT DAEMON FILE-- write where, how? [03:13] how do i find out the I.P of my wireless router though? [03:13] cycrosism: "route -n" and look for the non-0.0.0.0 "Gateway" [03:13] Ok ... Previously, Ubunu 6.06 LTS worked fine with this h/w, 8.04 doesn't recognize the hd controller... the controller is based on the Intel 82801AA chipset. Anyone who knows if 8.04 still handles parallel IDE drives ok? [03:14] * Bity is back. [03:14] DouglasK: most all ide drives show up as 'sd##' now a days. [03:14] my gateway is 192.168.1.254 [03:15] DouglasK: how are you determinignits not recognizing it? [03:15] Dr_Willis: the installer comes up and says, "no disk drive was detected" and askes me to select a driver. [03:15] ohlie: If you're afraid of your system getting taken over, install rkhunter. It's a whole different mentality, though: on Windows, you assume viruses will attack and scan for individual viruses (i.e., attack patterns); on Linux, you assume any system misbehaviour at all is a bug--no need for virus definition files. "rkhunter" will detect any changes at all to your system; if you didn't cause them yourself (e.g., by upgrading packages), then y [03:16] ohlie: But unless you've got a static IP open to the Internet, you will not get a virus--antivirus program or no. [03:16] What is a good router program for Ubuntu? [03:16] DouglasK: that is weird. [03:16] My thought exactly. [03:17] It worked with 6.06... .only thing that's changed h/w wise is replacing the drive with a bit bigger one (40GB) [03:17] mnaines: Nothing at all (it's all built into Linux); but if you're new to routing, try "firestarter". [03:17] DouglasK: a huge 40gb! :0 heh.. you could test with a 9.10 cd I guess see if it works for that. [03:18] Dr_Willis: point.... I should have one around ... this laptop is running on it. :-) [03:18] Or I'll grab and burn. :) [03:18] good luck. [03:19] adamh, I have firestarter going right now, set for restrictive mode [03:22] bdubs@gmail.com [03:22] lets say i want to change the permissions of a folder as well as everything it contains, how would i type the chmod command to do it, cause doing them individually will take too long......??? [03:22] heatmzzr: chmod -R ? [03:23] heatmzzr: chmod -R (user:group) (folder) [03:23] chmod -R and then the folder name? [03:23] thanks so much, ' [03:23] heatmzzr, isn't that simple [03:24] You need to tell chmod who to give the permissions to. The user or group the permissions go to should come before the folder name [03:24] mnaines, that is chown [03:24] theatro, yeah...My bad...Chown should come before chmod [03:25] chmod would still need to put the permissions args before the directory [03:25] chmod won't work properly if you don't chown the folder or file first [03:25] mnaines: not true [03:25] what if you already own the file === Main is now known as Niam [03:25] then you wouldn't need to chown it [03:26] they are two separate things altogether [03:26] bruenig, then you don't need to chown it [03:26] to suggest they are used in concert in some way is silly, they are used in concert no more than say mv and rm are [03:26] what is correct format for ubuntu makefile ? mine has make=make on 2nd line and does not work [03:26] ●●●●●●●●● [03:26] cycrosism makes a good point [03:26] what [03:26] what [03:26] whatu mean i have a good ponit [03:26] point* [03:27] bruenig yes, but it's on the top of his head, unfortunately [03:27] cycrosism, did you just paste your password ? [03:27] How do I expand a partition into a large unallocated space to the left of the partition [03:27] nava2: can't happen [03:27] nava2: use gparted [03:27] nava2, see if gparted workss [03:28] both IdleOne and theatro are wrong [03:28] bruenig: why not [03:28] you cannot change the beginning of a partition without formatting it altogether [03:28] you can only extend the end of it [03:28] its not the beginning though [03:28] ohhhhh [03:28] http://paste.ubuntu.com:80/257848/ <-- If noone can fix browsing for me I may have to file a bug report or just try another distro, or both... [03:28] I can reformat it. [03:28] idc about that [03:28] nava2: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:28] well delete the partition [03:28] nava2: I've done that myself with gParted. What it actually does is move it to the left, then expand it. [03:28] then make the whole partition [03:28] DouglasK: hoq [03:29] hoq? [03:29] how* [03:29] In the gui of gparted, you move the partitiion to the left, then resize it, then apply. [03:30] How do you move it? :S [03:30] with the mouse......... [03:30] it appears to be mounts [03:30] mounted*, what is the command to unmount [03:30] nava2: umount [03:30] nava2: right-click it in gparted and click unmount. [03:30] rww it wont let me. [03:30] not the question eh asked [03:31] nava2: what is on this partition [03:31] nava2, is this your / ? [03:31] is it your / [03:31] this is my / yes [03:31] has anyone ever had songbird stop playing sound [03:31] if any part of the filesystem is mounted on it, you are going to need to use a live cd === matthew is now known as Guest76599 [03:31] nava2: then you'd need to boot of a cd so it's not in use. [03:31] does most people in here rather use gui or cli in nix? [03:31] nava2: boot from an Ubuntu or GParted LiveCD and do it there. You can't resize the root partition you're running from. [03:31] bruenig: I'm in a live CD.. [03:31] nava2: then it isn't your / [03:32] It is.. [03:32] wny can I never remember the name of the command that tells what process is using a file system? [03:32] no [03:32] cfedde: lsof [03:32] cfedde: think "list open file", then you won't forget it [03:32] syntax, this is ubuntu, of course people use gui, otherwise there is no point, they should just run debian [03:32] bruenig: that's one. But there is another too. [03:32] hmm [03:33] syntax: I rather use cli as gui is basically pointless for anyone over the age of 50 [03:33] anyone under the age* [03:33] #ubuntu-ca [03:33] sound works in ubuntu (vlc, etc.) but not in songbird...it was working fine before. Any suggestions? [03:34] is it normal to find - Warning: The file '/usr/sbin/unhide' exists on the system, but it is not present in the rkhunter.dat file. [03:34] Guest76599: songbird is a mess that no one should use [03:34] bruenig: How would I unmount it then === Guest76599 is now known as matthew [03:34] how can I find out why my kernel just paniced? [03:34] It says its not mounted. [03:34] nava2: then you don't need to unmount it [03:34] but I cant move it [03:34] and in gParted, it thinks its mounted [03:34] nava2: I have never heard of this move stuff [03:34] that was someone else [03:34] Guys, I'm still runinng FF 3 I can't seem to update to FF 3.5. === matthew is now known as Guest73237 [03:34] !ff35 | glass [03:34] glass: 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 [03:34] I told you to format it entirely [03:35] * cfedde looks at http://www.scottklarr.com/topic/115/linux-unix-cheat-sheets-the-ultimate-collection/ [03:35] sorry don't know why i was in as guest...as far as I know...songbird plays all the formats I need (for some reason rhythmbox fails to download some codecs) and works with last.fm, bruenig. So you're not really helping me. [03:35] Guest73237: you asked for suggestions [03:36] hi === Guest73237 is now known as matt132 [03:36] !hi | QRZ [03:36] QRZ: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [03:36] bruenig: should I just delete it and reinstall ubuntu in the free space? [03:36] Guest73237: rhythmbox doesn't download codecs, package manager does [03:36] nava2: that is what I would do [03:36] its a fresh install anyways [03:36] okay xangua, when I play songs in rhythmbox, PM searches for codecs but won't install them. [03:37] nava2: delete the partition, reinstall [03:37] matt132: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted extras (only if you use ubuntu-gnome) installs adobe flash, CODECS, fonts, rar, unrar, etc... [03:38] ok, xangua, thank you [03:38] doesn't the ubuntu install take the largest free space anyways? [03:38] nava2: just delete it [03:38] and do it [03:38] looking for a cool password generator for pronounceable password [03:38] hey [03:38] any of you guys use tor? [03:38] anyone have come accross of one ? [03:38] yeah [03:39] bruenig: the one I was looking for was fuser. [03:39] password generator professional [03:39] thanks too [03:39] axle: let me google that [03:39] Anyone here have any knowledge about ebox and shorewall and if they play nice together? [03:39] how is Karmic at this point? === ds5-ql is now known as ds5 [03:39] I'll find out [03:40] mnaines: not workin for me man.. syntax errors and argument errors [03:41] Does anyone know how stable Karmic is at this point? [03:41] how do i create an icon to put in desktop folder? [03:41] nava2, karmic discussion in #ubuntu+1 [03:41] hey guys - I managed to lose power during the update process to latest PC version - I'm able to login at the new login screen, but then a get a blank screen (peach colored?) . How screwed am I? [03:42] hey is it possible to copy a file from local machine to a server where i can log me in via ssh [03:42] hola world [03:42] Can someone tell me how I un-remember a saved password for mounting a WIndows file share? [03:42] kismet: yes, via scp [03:43] kismet I think you want sshfs [03:43] what is the command? [03:44] wat is sshfs? [03:44] kismet: scp /path/to/local/file user@serverIP:/path/to/server/file [03:44] gst: it allows you to mount a directory from another machine on your own through SSH [03:44] How do you set the icon for a desktop shortcut? [03:44] sshfs will mount the ssh remote puter as a directory so you can pass files transparantly between them like two directories [03:44] lstarnes: thanks... i am gonna try it [03:45] coreyman: right click, select properties, right click on the icon [03:45] axle: password generator profession works for unix ? [03:45] RHorse: so i think i have to install that? [03:45] kismet yes, it's in the repos [03:46] I think you can go into system>administration>authorizations, somewhere in that list it should be maybe something like "mount internal media"... [03:47] does any one know how delete a partition on linux? [03:47] lstarnes thx [03:49] mount from internal drives is there. [03:49] stoner parted, gparted qtparted or related [03:49] we can delete partition during installation [03:50] If a hard drive has limited space, is there any software that can select a group of directories that would best fill that limited space? [03:50] i used sudo parted [03:50] stormx2 are you there [03:51] stormx2 is attending a Linux conference in Helsinki [03:51] hi room, how can i chk or mount a undetected connected hard drives in my ubuntu server? [03:51] appreciate any reply ... [03:51] how do i remove blocked updates from the software updates module? [03:52] hey can someone help me plz [03:52] cheers RHouse [03:52] LinuxAddict: What's the problem? [03:53] stoner :) [03:53] mnaines: I got it to work using the chown -r ... thanks all [03:53] i cant get apt-get update to work [03:53] what command are you using ? [03:53] why would this command give me "cp: cannot create directory" cp -fR sites/all/modules/ ../public_html/sites/all/modules/. [03:53] im using apt-get update [03:53] did you try "sudo apt-get update" ? [03:54] yeah [03:54] elijah: becase part of the path does not exist? [03:54] check your permissions, elijah [03:54] Linuxaddict, do you get an error message? Did you create another account after installing ? [03:54] but here is what happens it says file failed to fetch [03:55] chown -r, no option like r it's telling [03:55] Don't forget chown -R, that does the recursive change [03:55] wat for did you use tat -r option === Shinobi is now known as Guest68767 [03:57] is there a way to install the older version of amarok from the repos instead of the latest? [03:57] if you created another account after installation, that might be a problem... If you just have the single "regular" user account, we need to see about other things. Did you check /var/log/messages ? [03:57] cfedde: I think you may be right, the modules folder does not exist but when I create it manually the command works fine but makes another modules folder within that one. [03:58] hello [03:58] i just ran make on some sources [03:58] The partition comes up as sdb1 in /dev/ but there is no sdb so no devise, any ideas [03:58] i guess they compiled, i got no errors but if i type the name of the program in terminal, it says it's not there [03:58] how do i get sopcast? [03:58] Linuxaddict, did you see my msg ? [03:58] i do have a binary file in a directory that i'm loking at [03:59] how do i set it so that terminal sees it? [03:59] oh wait, that's bashrc isnt it? [03:59] hi. i set up a fresh ubuntu install and want to use a static network configuration that takes effect _before_ any user login. so i copied a working /etc/network/interfaces configuration from my debian system to ubuntu and rebooted. now 'ifconfig' doesnt even show eth0 anymore, while i wouldve expected it to be fully configured. whats wrong? [04:00] Anyone want a good setup for speed and security? === saulus_ is now known as SauLus [04:00] hello [04:00] I'll bit, speed and security ? How ? [04:01] Easy...External Serial ATA hard drives [04:01] Put all the mission critical data on the eSATA drives, then unmount them and physically secure them when you're away from the computer [04:02] eSATA has a sustained buffer-to-host speed of 300 megabytes per second [04:02] I tried the external serial ATA drive thing, it turns out the info was getting corrupted, I thought I was doing something wrong, turned out to be a bad hard drive. Ouch. [04:02] That happens [04:02] Expensive lesson, I'm also going to be sure to buy quality equipment. [04:03] Good thing about the external drives is if the drive goes bad, just pry open the case, take out the old drive, buy an internal drive, and swap it into the case [04:03] The only two external hard drive brands I would recommend are Western Digital and Seagate [04:04] Preferably Seagate if you want maximum speed and maximum reliability [04:04] mnaines datastor has been good for me [04:04] how do I change the size of the icons of the Avant Window Navigator? [04:04] when i type su in terminal and enter my password i get a failure, but my password works anywhere else. why is this? [04:05] RHorse, use what works best for you. The point I'm trying to make is that external hard drives, if you use the eSATA interface, are both extremely fast and very secure [04:05] what kind of errer ? [04:05] laserbeak_: su does NOT use your password. it uses root's password [04:05] ok looking for a tool that will generate triple des of a passwd .. like in shadow [04:05] yeah [04:05] laserbeak_: sudo should always be used instead of su [04:05] ok [04:05] laserbeak_: you could try sudo -i [04:06] mnaines eSATA, huh? OK [04:06] lstarnes, sudo works thx [04:06] eSATA is just regular Serial ATA mounted externally...Same 300 megabytes per second sustained throughput as regular Serial ATA [04:07] good luck and good night === Nightw0lf is now known as Nightwolf === david_ is now known as glassd [04:08] mnaines wow, the last serial drive I mounted externally was years ago, and it sucked. Glad to hear they have something else that works [04:08] if you have all .jpg how do you move them to another foldier or another area in teminal [04:08] RHorse, only difference between eSATA and regular SATA is the interface connection. Other than that, there is no difference between the two [04:09] syntax: mv /directory/*.jpg /other/directory [04:09] it took far too long to get smuxi working.... [04:09] RHorse, you must have tried a SCSI drive, am I right? [04:09] thx [04:09] is there a gui i can use to setup raid ? [04:10] mnaines yes, now that I think of it, I think it was. 7-8 years ago.

You might need to download intel's driver for it though my eee pc doesnt have this problem [04:20] soreau: I know my card is designed for it - it worked just fine with windows [04:20] Devon_C: huh [04:20] where do i get it ?? [04:20] did what come with the install? [04:20] evenin' folks... I'm about out of space on my root partition.. I need to remap my /tmp dir to another physical drive... what's the easiest way to go about this?.. I've tried mount /tmp /media/disk-1/temp but it says something about it's not a block device... thx! [04:20] lordnikon: Whats the issue? [04:20] soreau: my reaction exactly XD [04:20] lordnikon: you should be able to find it on any of the eee pc modding forums or intel's download site [04:21] need to et the wifi working on n eee pc with ubun. netbook remix [04:21] Anyone familiar with eBox here? [04:21] Just download and restart the pc and it should work [04:21] soreau: I'm looking the issue up on the forums [04:21] lordnikon: which model are you using? [04:21] Wifi on my AAO worked out of the box, and my buddies EEEPC as well. [04:21] 1005hAB [04:21] is there anywhere eles in ubuntu besides printer settings where i can ajust print quality.??..ubuntu printer settings is only giving me 600 dpi [04:21] soreau: lemme dig a bit and if I cant find anything do you think you could help me troubleshoot? [04:21] Devon_C: I don't really know what else to tell you because I don't know how your sound system is set up. If you have a headphone jack on your speakers, you should try that one.. [04:21] soreau: yeah, that one works but its a pain in the ass to plug them in there [04:21] I see [04:22] Could somebody please recommend a good webcam to use with Skype on Ubuntu? [04:22] nownot: nm sorry my mistake. I thought Ubuntu came with a RAID softwaye standard [04:22] `dotool getmouselocation` in a terminal returns "x:750 y:604 screen:0" (no quotes)..

[04:23] soreau: okay, I have speakers that are plugged into a jack in the back of my drive. I have another headphone jack in the front of my drive that I'm using with my headphones [04:24] soreau: speakers play, headphones dont [04:24] CaptainCrook: what app do you wanna install ¿ [04:24] soreau: when usually, front jack takes the priority [04:24] java ... [04:24] CaptainCrook: it is already in the repository [04:24] Devon_C: I assume it is all operating from the same audio chip internally? [04:24] so much better [04:25] both jre6 and the browser plugin CaptainCrook [04:25] lordnikon, http://forum.eeebuntu.org/viewtopic.php?f=45&p=19105 has your fix [04:25] !jre [04:25] 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 [04:25] soreau: right - and I've been playing around with the ALSA mixer fo the past 15 minutes and nothing controls the headphone volume [04:25] f a hard drive has limited space, is there any software that can select a group of directories that would best fill that limited space? [04:25] xangua ok... i guess i might start there... but if i get to handle another .rpm.bin what the correct way to handle it? [04:25] soreau: when it should be "line in" [04:26] !rpm | CaptainCrook [04:26] CaptainCrook: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous and unsupported) [04:26] soreau: scratch that [04:26] !jre | CaptainCrook [04:26] CaptainCrook: 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 [04:26] soreau: line in are my speakers... [04:26] ok thanks... [04:27] how do i clear blocked updates? [04:27] Devon_C: Again, I must say i am not familiar with that type of setup but the only other way I can see it detecting the headphones being plugged in (other than a physical switch) is a resistance change in which case it would be the drivers responsibility (though I've never seen such a thing) [04:27] coreyman: bloqued updates¿¿ [04:28] xangua update manager has 4 blocked updates [04:28] Devon_C: But you are doing the right thing. Try obtaining more info on your audio hw with 'lspci' and use that in your searches [04:29] why is compiz telling me it can't find xgl? [04:29] what is compiz missing?

[04:30] soreau: I just have to plug my headphones in the jack in the back of my PC [04:30] it's a pain, but it'll work [04:30] Devon_C: Hack together an extension cable! ;) [04:31] soreau: heh, I like the initiative - a very valid idea, but I'd rather just like to get my secondary front jack working. P: [04:32] Devon_C: Do any of the front jacks work? ie. plugging the main speakers there [04:32] any idea, when do i get audio playback error? [04:32] soreau: hang on let me try some combinations... [04:32] coreyman: If you come to #compiz, I will help you [04:32] soreau k [04:34] soreau: yeah, not working [04:34] soreau: I have two more jacks besides the secondary green one - a darker green one marked "line in" (which I messed with the sliders and didnt get a response) and a pink mic jack which wont help me === jacques is now known as Guest82242 [04:35] hio [04:35] hi [04:35] anyine [04:35] anyone interested [04:35] to chat with me [04:35] Devon_C: Sorry man, not sure what else to tell you [04:35] Guest82242: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[04:38] lanzelloth: System->Administration->Hardware Drivers. [04:38] lanzelloth: try going into terminal and typing in "lspci" [04:38] lanzelloth: Which card is it? You can look at the output of 'lspci' if it's pci or integrated [04:39] how do you install ubuntu automatically over the network with pxe, similar to redhats kickstart? what is that called please? [04:40] jatt, no proprietary drivers installed [04:40] Devon_C, soreau apparently it's an intel 4965 agn [04:40] Devon_C, soreau but I still need the driver that it's using [04:41] Interesting, the latest binary of songbird is hanging on library loading. Anybody else having similar issues on a 32 bit version of ibex? [04:41] hello [04:41] lanzelloth: try googling " driver linux" [04:41] lanzelloth: 'lsmod' will show you all loaded modules, not sure which is for that card exactly.. You're probably using some intel driver though. What does 'iwconfig' show? [04:42] when do i get audio playback error? [04:42] soreau: I think what he means is he needs to know what driver to install because there is no driver installed [04:42] could be wrong though [04:42] wat does audio playbac mean? [04:42] Devon_C, ok (it's a wireless card btw) [04:42] Devon_C: The open intel driver should already be loaded by default I'd assume.. Intel hw is widely supported on linux [04:43] soreau: right P: [04:43] soreau, iwconfig doesn't say anything abt the driver, will try grepping various things from lsmod [04:43] lanzelloth: this might be the blind leading the blind, I'm pretty new to all of this as well [04:43] i hav intel's ich9 on my machine [04:44] for some Intel cards it is iwl3945.

[04:50] simran, in terminal type gksudo gedit /etc/modules ..this will make it much easier. [04:50] soreau, so do you know what it's using then? has to be a generic one [04:50] thanks bastidrazor [04:50] thanks a lot [04:50] lanzelloth: It is either using a generic one not yet supporting your wifi hw or didn't load one at all [04:51] btw, could you explain please the significance of "gksudo" [04:51] i just started using linux 2 days ago [04:51] !gksudo | simran [04:51] simran: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [04:51] can i upgrade to 9.04 from 8.xx if I dont have all the 8.xx updates? [04:51] ok cheers [04:52] Hello... I want to transfer a file from this computer (Computer A) to another computer (Computer C) that is hidden behind a router (computer B). This router accepts ssh connections (that is the only port available)... I know I can use an SSH tunnel but all the examples are confusing me (plus I'd like to simply use scp or sftp)... So, how could I use port 25 on computer B to get files from computer A to computer C? [04:52] and i cant run that command any other way, apart from in terminal correct? [04:52] In Applications>System Tools I have "New Login in a Window" however it fails to launch with the error "The X server failed. Perhaps it is not configured well." How can I fix this? [04:52] !sudo [04:52] sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) [04:52] Nautilus__: You should have all updates installed first and you have to go in order. Don't try to 8.04 -> 9.04 [04:52] soreau, ok thx, and I found this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/iwlwifi_Intel_3945_4965/gutsy apparently there's one out from intel [04:53] oh, 8.04 to 9.00, then increment? === harry is now known as Guest12313 [04:53] lanzelloth: Perfect. Intel is pretty good about supporting their hw with drivers ;) [04:53] 8.04 then 8.10 then 9.04 [04:53] soreau: except for poulsbo graphics [04:53] so how come theres a button to upgrade to 9.04 now, ew [04:53] macd: orly? [04:54] no idea [04:54] jajj: not sure how to tell what 8 I have, and I'm getting 404s on the security updates [04:54] soreau, nvm it's apparently an opensource project, not from intel but it's there. thx for the help [04:54] soreau: intel's poulsbo graphics (found in some netbooks) use a different chipset than the rest. they hired an outside company to do drivers back on 2.6.24 (hardy days), but development ceased and current kernels dont work with it [04:55] lsb_release -a [04:55] maco: I vaguely remember something about poulsbo.. something about them sucking ;) [04:56] 8.10, no LSB modules available [04:56] soreau: on linux, yes, they do...thanks to half-arsed, unmaintained drivers [04:56] howdy [04:56] so... [04:56] does anybody know where to find the current key for the e17 repositories? [04:56] coreyman: Any good fortune? [04:57] can anyone using dircproxy with multiple connection classes please post thier dircproxyrc? Only the *last* connection class ever works for me... [04:57] soreau it's paused at ... Starting kde4-window-decorator ... im guessing it's running? [04:57] coreyman: yup [04:57] so i just installed ubuntu remix for my netbook and i am having issues playing youtube videos now... any pointers.. the vids have good sound but reeealy slow choppy video..and yes my internet is great [04:57] coreyman: You shouldn't have to guess.. you should see some basic visual effects [04:57] Hello all. I'm trying to set up my desktop's UI to look like the Netbook Remix, as far as the window list, etc. I've gotten that figured out, but like my netbook, I would like for my windows to maximize to full screen. Does anyone know how I would go about doing that? [04:58] jatt: can i go from 8.10 sans (49) security updates to 9.04? [04:58] Muffinator: then just install netbook remix [04:58] I proceeded to install ubuntu yesterday and the live cds kept freezing. I tried 7.04, 7.1, 8.04, 8.1, finally jaunty didn't freeze and the install succeeded. Any ideas on why live cds should be freezing? I had WinXP installed on the drive initially [04:58] B00M3cH0 sounds like your flash version is older, perhaps? [04:58] swayric: run memtest86? [04:59] Hmm. Suppose I could do that. [04:59] well i have downloaded all the linux flash versions but how do i get them to install [04:59] yesterday I upgraded from 8.04 to 8.10 and then to 9.04. Got some issues with the sound but other than that the upgrade worked fine. [04:59] B00M3cH0 go to the Adobe dl site and get the v. 10 Linux version in .gz format. Then unpack libflashplayer.so into your plugin dir [04:59] they all ask what to open with but no option to browse and selct firefiox [05:00] ohh thx [05:00] RHorse: Why not install flashplugin-nonfree from the repos? [05:01] @soreau hiss [05:01] I should've. Perhaps the problem still remains--I'll check that later. I proceeded to delete 9.04 because I couldnt get WG311v2 to work with wicd.sourceforge.net directions, intending to settle for g?utsy 7.10, though now ubuntu-installer, fdisk, gparted won't detect my partition table. any ideas [05:01] tehlor: ? [05:01] soreau from experience, I've found the direct dl and unpacking to work best, YMMV [05:01] !restricted extras | B00M3cH0 [05:01] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [05:01] open source, for the win [05:01] !restricted-extras [05:01] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [05:01] !extras [05:01] The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections.

[05:03] Scoyn: ip a [05:03] swayric: what do you mean by "deleting 9.04"? [05:03] Scoyn: put that in a terminal [05:03] ifconfig [05:04] ifconfig said command not found. === ubuntu is now known as apoleo12 [05:04] Scolo: the machine or your internet ip? [05:04] right click on the network manager->Connection Information.

[05:05] heya, Im wondering while Im on liveCD, is there a way to save the settings just incase I would have to go back into liveCD?

[05:06] FloridaGuy: try this http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome [05:06] utilizing mdns (avahi) how can I make it so my laptop resolves the ip of another upnp machine on my network? [05:06] bastidrazor: :) [05:07] ctmjr, i have those pages bookmarked. that question comes up a lot. [05:07] bastidrazor, ctmjr you guys gave the same link...the one i was trying to find [05:07] bastidrazor: so do i but your a bit faster than me [05:07] FloridaGuy, follow ctmjr's link. he is correct [05:07] Scoyn: does "ip a" work? [05:07] Mike_LaMar:I removed the jaunty install in quite a hazardous way; I fdisk'd it, deleting the partitions (while logged into the target jaunty installation): the install partition, swap, boot. I then used recovery console and fixboot+fixmbr to recover previous state. [05:08] I wasnt having luck with live CDs--they wouldnt detect the jaunty install [05:08] Nope.

[05:11] liveUSB, even. [05:12] I'm trying to connect from a Windows app to my AndLinux database. [05:12] can someone quickly explain why there are a lot of different types of regex and which one is the most commonly used one [05:12] All I need is the ip of AndLinux. >.< [05:12] sway: if is that it, how do I do it? [05:12] edbian i got it [05:12] now reboot and see if xubuntu is gone [05:12] scoyn 192.168. is your router... and its missing two numbers [05:12] maco sweet yea i got it [05:12] coreyman: O good :) [05:13] Scoyn: localhost? 127.0.0.1? [05:13] lanzelloth: PCRE is very common... there are different implementations of regex for the same reason there's different implementations of anything [05:13] maco: lol [05:13] No, the other two are there. I just know they're not relevant. [05:13] Tried localhost, didn't work. [05:13] localhost is your local box [05:13] Scoyn: maybe your windows firewall is screwing with you? [05:13] Neither work. [05:13] I have the firewall disable.d [05:14] Disabled* [05:14] sploit: AndLinux means he's got a linux kernel and his windows kernel running together on the same machine [05:14] Scoyn: i dont think anyone here actually knows how the heck AndLinux works and what weirdness it brings in. maybe they have an IRC channel? [05:14] maco: I just looked it up. Interesting idea. Although I'd never do it because of the windows 1/2 [05:14] edbian: agreed [05:14] It [05:14] I thought it was just some offbeat linux distro :( [05:15] hey I am getting an error when I try to do a sudo apt-get install -f to install the nvidia drivers: says cannong remove /usr/src/nicidia-185blah blah no such file or directory [05:15] pylucene is built against python 2.5, which is a pain for me because I use 2.6 almost exclusively. How do I build pylucene from source using 2.6? [05:15] Scoyn: Techincally andLinux is NOT ubuntu. I agree that you're going to be hard-pressed to find someone who can help you save the developers [05:15] It's possible. I just figured I'd try here since when I use apt-get it connects to the ubuntu.com database. [05:15] I deleted a linux install via fdisk->delete partitions(while still logged into the partition), and now ubuntu LiveCD/LiveUSB partitioning programs cannot read the partition table. Are there any standard ways of fixing this? [05:15] lanzelloth: theres a book called 'mastering regular expressions' thats worth reading :) [05:15] swayric: reboot the machine. You just confused the kernel i imagine [05:15] Laters. [05:16] Mike_lifeguard, Dr_Willis, hmm neither vim nor grep uses pcre? [05:16] lanzelloth: no idea what vim uses. grep has its own subset i recall.. that book mentins both programs and how they differ i recall [05:16] how can i make 8.10 check for updates? [05:16] lanzelloth: i recall some regrexp web sites that also summarized what uses what.. [05:16] hello [05:17] Dr_willis: I got the cpulimit running... finally... but google earth still seems to hog everything and crash everything but the mouse [05:17] Nautilus__: "sudo apt-get update" and then "sudo apt-get upgrade" [05:17] can anyone give me a hand? [05:17] Nautilus__: "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade" [05:17] Dr_Willis, found it http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_regular_expression_software :D [05:17] Ok I did some checking for "presistent liveCD" it's only for the installation.... however, Mine's already installed onto the HDD... and in this case; I have a grub problem as Im workin on it so to speak... but I'd be booting into liveCD again which means I would have to reconfigure the settings minor in soem areas which I dont wanna go through all over again.. is there a possiblity to save the settings in any way? [05:17] oh wait, "Update Manager" sorry [05:17] !ask | Shishak [05:17] Shishak: 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. :-) [05:17] !ask | Shishak [05:17] Dr_Willis: I rebooted it several times since then booting LiveUSB/LiveCD but ubuntu-install/fdisk/gparted can not detect the partition table. Any ideas? [05:17] regular expressions --- a really complex topic however basics can be used easilty [05:17] Dr_Willis, one thing for sure regexp isn't so regular [05:17] when I do [05:18] # grep: The traditional UNIX grep command uses the "POSIX BRE" flavor, though not all implementations fully adhere to the standard. Linux usually ships with the GNU implementation, which use "GNU BRE". [05:18] sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart [05:18] swayric: I think you can just force it using fdisk [05:18] in the fstab file if i want to do "/dev/md0 /mnt/raid ext3 defaults 1 2" are those tabs? or spaces? [05:18] X never comes up, but it says [OK] [05:18] http://www.regular-expressions.info/refflavors.html [05:18] swayric: there is a rescue process on the fdisk site, I think... google it [05:18] bastidrazor, ctmjr, thanks worked but rebooted and xchat was gone...had to reinstall that...but i think xubuntu installed it bydefault [05:18] nownot: Either will work but they're tabs [05:18] lanzelloth: its like everything else that has 'grown' over the years from simple to complex. [05:18] edbian: alright thanks [05:18] ccb0x45: please try to keep it on one line, otherwise it creates noise and people can't follow what you are saying [05:18] ccb0x45: Ctrl+Alt+F7? [05:19] FloridaGuy, sudo apt-get install xchat [05:19] lanzelloth: that url seems to be a good guide comparing programs [05:19] whats control-alt-f7 do? I just rebooted, trying to see if that fixes it [05:19] ccb0x45: that goes to the consoles F7 is normally the X display however. [05:19] ccb0x45: it takes you back to where the first graphical sesison starts [05:19] bastidrazor, i know..i wouldent be here if i dident reinstall it [05:19] lol [05:20] ok cool ill try it once the reboot finishes [05:20] Dr_Willis, bookmarked, thx [05:20] ccb0x45: CTRL+ALT+F# goes to your consoles. F7 is your X, the others are terminals (and one is something else special, but I forget where it is and what it is :) ) [05:20] FloridaGuy, ahh.. i misread. glad you made it back. [05:20] * apoleo12 is searching... [05:21] ccb0x45: F7 isnt *always* X though. if you restart gdm/kdm it may pop up on F8 or F9....and if you do "switch user" so that you and your sister are both logged in at the same time, the second of you will likely be on F8 or F9 [05:21] Mike_lifeguard: ctl+alt+f1 drops your gui and brings you to terminal only [05:21] control alt-f7 doent do anything nor does f8 r f9 [05:21] Umm... could anyone explain me something. What is classified as interactive web traffic? [05:22] aw man! It says it doesnt work with Hardy!!! [05:22] ccb0x45: What are you trying to do ultimately? [05:22] I have got to know a program called wondershaper which should do wonders. [05:22] is this for real?? [05:22] What's the best video editor for Ubuntu? [05:22] after a reboot, other computers on the network can no longer get to me external drive. what should i look at? [05:22] !best | kyle_ [05:22] kyle_: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [05:22] jiohdi: like all the terminals on the F# keys? [05:22] soreau, get into X again... I installed a new graphics card... but nv-glx wasnt working with it, so I tried to reinstall nv-glx and now X wont start at all [05:22] What's the component that auto-mounts removable media on insertion? [05:23] mike, like no other terminals at all but the main... like before any gui starts up [05:23] ccb0x45: What was your previous card? [05:23] it was an onboard nvidia card [05:23] I expect it interacts with HAL, but which part is it? [05:23] the new one is a 9400gt [05:23] jiohdi: I'm not sure I know what you're talking about. Should I care about that? [05:23] jiohdi: if not, let's drop it :) [05:23] when I hit control-alt-f7 it switches me to a console with a couple lines in it but no login prompt [05:23] !video | kyle__ [05:23] kyle__: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [05:24] sorry wrong one [05:24] ccb0x45: look on the other F#s then [05:24] ccb0x45: Can you pastebin the X log from the failed session (right after trying to restart gdm)? [05:24] mike, sometimes it will help if a program is stuck... you can drop out and kill it from that terminal [05:24] jiohdi: sure, just like any other terminal :| [05:24] where is that stored? /var/log/Xorg?

[05:26] !wine | coreyman [05:26] coreyman: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [05:26] coreyman: i like openbox [05:26] coreyman wine-doors [05:26] I don't like wine. [05:26] coreyman: i find wine to not work for the apps i use === Shinobi is now known as Guest98239 [05:26] coreyman: Then you need to pay [05:27] coreyman: Or you can install another OS inside of a virtual machine with virtualbox, for instance [05:27] Coreyman: or run a virtual machine [05:27] http://sprunge.us/HNYT [05:27] coreyman: VMware? (depending what you want to do) [05:27] neat little trick [05:27] question: how come when I'm trying to install java v6 and get asked for root password to install additional software, I enter my password, but it says the pass is incorrect, capslock key is disabled, so WTF? [05:27] Nautilus__: That costs right? [05:27] java v6 as a plugin for firefox [05:28] Lartza_: depending. Get VMworkstation and you have 30 days trial to design the VM. Then get free VMplayer :) [05:28] dumont: TYpe your password [05:28] dumont: Not root [05:28] tried that too [05:28] wine-doors does a really good job with some windows programs [05:28] someone made ubottu post all the things that would run windows stuff on linux... wish they could do it again [05:29] tried, current user password, root password, other admin account password [05:29] soreau, I dont thing Xorg.0.log was the failing one, I think Xorg.99.log is which is at http://sprunge.us/hjEI [05:29] coreyman, wine-doors has a list built in [05:29] dumont: Interestin [05:29] sorry http://sprunge.us/hJEI [05:29] Are you on synaptic or terminal? [05:29] dumont: IDK what to tell you. If you can log in but you can't sudo you're typing it wrong at the sudo [05:29] ccb0x45: You're not even attempting using the nvidia driver but vesa instead (according to your first post). The second one doesn't load here [05:30] soreau, sorry did you see my correction? [05:30] dumont: SO you are not getting a sudoers error? [05:30] Dr_Willis: Did you see my PM ?? [05:30] says failed to run gnome-app-installer.... as user root [05:30] edbian: proberly not.. been cookiing dinner. [05:31] I'm trying to set up my server to serve Samba shares. I can't figure out how to make them accessible to both Samba and Apache though [05:31] the error seems to be: Number of created screens does not match number of detected devices. [05:31] the uderlying autheriz. mechanism (sudo) doesn't allow you to run this program [05:31] Dr_Willis: If you don't mind me asking (and if you have a minute) Where did you get your immense knowledge of linux? [05:31] edbian: read, read, read, read,..... expriment, dissect disrtos.. and read, read read read read.. [05:31] Dr_Willis: Reading huh. I can do that1 [05:31] !! [05:32] dumont: Try to sudo something in terminal [05:32] I see this in the launchpad regharding the "persistent" liveCD that has been fixed for 8.0.4.3... is that the whole new OS in .iso image?? [05:32] edbian: get the idea? :) I have a large bookcase of linux books ive collected from the 'bargin bins' at the book stores over the years. [05:32] like? [05:32] Umm... [05:32] edbian: and now most all are avail in pdf format. :) [05:32] I look up to you Dr_willis [05:32] sudo apt-cache search password [05:32] whats that do? [05:33] ccb0x45: All's I can say is wow. [05:33] It searches all packages that have password in them, just try sudo with that [05:33] Dr_Willis: What motivates you to offer so much help on these channels? [05:33] soreau, lol whys that? [05:33] edbian: basiclaly pick a 'topic' and read up on it.. then find another.. go back to the bookas as referance when you need the info for specific tasks. That Oreally book on Bash is a must have. [05:33] edbian: i dont have a life. :P [05:33] ccb0x45: I have never seen anything like this before but it's amusing me xD [05:33] Dr_Willis: ha ha ha! [05:33] edbian: ive been on IRC since 1986 - used to irc on greenbar printing termianls and vt100's [05:33] soreau: so no idea? [05:33] says user is not allowed to execute ... as root on this machine [05:33] ccb0x45: It's loading every single graphics driver it has for every card [05:34] ccb0x45: You only want it to load "nvidia" [05:34] dumont: That sound like the old sudoers error [05:34] ccb0x45: What does your xorg.conf look like? [05:34] what do you mean? [05:34] soreau, let me grab it [05:34] Dr_Willis: Wow [05:34] dumont: I'm not sure if that error has replaced: "you are not on the sudoers list" [05:34] part of knowing 'linux' is knowing the history of linux, and pcs and OS's :) once ya learn the history of why stuff is the way it is.. it makes more sence. [05:35] i'm on v8.04, i thought even though you are logged in as a normal user without any admin privilages, and you enter root's pass you could still perform admin tasks [05:35] That is the list that specifies all users that may use sudo if I'm correct [05:35] I actually THINK i know why thers no 'n' in the 'uNmount' command. :) [05:35] how do i get sopcast on ubuntu [05:35] dumont: What do you mean? [05:35] dumont: You should be able to sudo [05:35] Dr_Willis: Cause they wanted to mess with people?!?! [05:35] so why can't I? [05:36] dumont: I mean not only root can install things [05:36] dumont: YOu don't propably havbe administrative rights [05:36] when i created this normal ser, i just used the which ever regular create normal user command it was, i didn't add any permissions or groups or anything, should have I done something like that? [05:36] edbian: back when the original os's came out - it had like a 6 character file name limit. :0 YEARS ago... [05:36] edbian: and its been grandfathered in ever since [05:37] Dr_Willis: wow. Sounds convincing to me! [05:37] Lartza_ it's my dedicated server, i have root user account, and trying to install something as normal user [05:37] dumont: Yes I am just looking my user"profile" which has checks to things like "Use modems" "Administrate the system" [05:37] dumont: YOu have windowing system there? [05:37] dumont: Installing software is a administrative task. Users should NOT be able to do it. [05:38] woe is me [05:38] edbian: But with sudo [05:38] keep in mind i'm probably going to have to perform these changes to user rights via command line [05:38] Lartza_: Then that is normal :) [05:38] soreau: http://sprunge.us/XYKX [05:38] dumont: Yea I don't know much about that way [05:38] I have a usb flash stick but only 512mb in size... which means its not possible???? [05:38] edbian: But he can't :) [05:38] i see /usr/sbin/smbd -D in the ps list. does that mean samba is running? [05:38] edbian i'd rather not start a vnc server from root in order to open firefox and instal java plugin [05:39] I saw 8gb flash on sale for $20 just today [05:39] dumont: Just wait a sec [05:39] dumont: Can you pastebin you're /etc/sudoers ?? [05:39] soreau, pretty simple xorg [05:39] dr_willis: Yea,, but Im poor.. and too poor enough to get this to work but only have to get this to work all on my own... which is ok [05:39] ccb0x45: I'm still trying to figure out how X would load ALL drivers. That is really beyond me. Hang tight [05:39] Hey, I have 117gb of unallocated space, how do I give that to my current install of ubuntu? [05:39] could you send that to me? lol [05:40] LavaEagle: Do you have a live CD handy? [05:40] LavaEagle: one way . partition it. and mount it somewhere. [05:40] yes I do [05:40] I did a dual boot with windows 7 [05:40] cool [05:40] Gave windows 7 25 gb of space [05:41] did a side by side install came out wrong somehow [05:41] so it sound like I would not be able to do this at all otherwise to get this dang grub to work! [05:41] LavaEagle: Boot the live CD, start the "partition editor", "grow" your ubuntu partition over the unallocated space. :) [05:41] Ah! [05:41] LavaEagle,run your ubuntu live cd,then go to system->administration->partition editor and from there you can choose to extend your ubuntu partition. [05:41] when i install ubuntu 9.04 i get to the desktop screen, it makes the boot up noise. but then nothing happens, it sits idle. When I reboot the computer it does the same thing... [05:41] dumont: The file is /etc/group [05:41] apoleo12: how big is the unetbootin image? [05:41] I do not see any desktop icons [05:41] Shishak: you do see a desktop? just no icons? you see a mouse pointer? [05:42] apoleo12: oh nm [05:42] yes [05:42] and i can move the mouse [05:42] Shishak: try the 'install' option from the boot menu perhaps? [05:42] bucky: what? [05:42] i have a gspca based webcam that is listed in lsusb, but doesn't show up in the video devices list of webcam applications, any ideas? [05:42] apoleo12: oh nm [05:42] Ok [05:42] http://pastebin.com/d610a289d [05:42] Alright lets do it! [05:42] Dr_Willis: thats what I did [05:42] twice [05:43] Shishak: odd.. You may want to try the alternetive installer cd. its a text based installer - but it installs the same stuff [05:43] dumont: I don't know the right number but, admin:x:106:youruser > /etc/group [05:43] NOt sure what 106 should be [05:43] fdisk's Partition-Rescue HOWTO didn't help much. [05:43] Ok here is the question that popped my mind; in the menu.lst, hd(#,#) can it be sd(#,#)? or its not possible only written as hd? [05:44] apoleo12: GRUB uses its own nameing scheme. its hd(#,#) [05:44] ok [05:44] apoleo12: sd is how linux names them. :) === bayu is now known as eng_ing_eng [05:44] ublender: i think you're going to need a driver for that apt-cache show show gspca-source [05:44] ok [05:44] apoleo12: you can boot bsd and other os's via grub. those os's hage their own disk nameing scheme also. [05:44] I installed samba and for some reason when I access a computer on my network where the username has no password, it says access denied... what's going on [05:45] so I woudl think grub is lost with all my harddrivbed and its partitions would you think? [05:45] couple questions: one, even though I have ubuntu as the only OS on my HDD, can I still install xp or vista or some other OS? [05:45] any way to play msn games against windows user? [05:45] coreyman: you did tive the user a samba password with 'sudo smbpasswd -a username' [05:45] coreyman, set a password on the accounts [05:45] as long as I set up a partition right? [05:45] dividebyzer0: It's tricky to install windows AFTER linux [05:45] It should be installed before, but after can be done too jsut google it [05:45] how so? [05:46] Dr_Willis: When I restarted it gave me an error " reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media...etc" [05:46] Web has good step by step guides [05:46] so I would think grub is lost with all my harddrives and its partitions ... [05:46] I have the boot order set to SSD then CDROM [05:46] razordead yea i guess i can try that [05:46] I'll attempt memory test from LiveCD, though I'm not quite sure what that'll help [05:46] Lartza_, the Windows install will overwrite GRUB & you'll need to put grub back in the mbr [05:46] another question: My laptop has HDMI out, how do I get that working on my TV? [05:46] Shishak: i wonder if you dont have a bad disk/burnt image or somthing. [05:46] should I try to burn the ISO again? [05:47] I plugged the HDMI cable from my laptop to my HDMI in my tv, changed the tv source but it said no signal still [05:47] I used alcohol 120 to burn the ISO [05:47] razordead: THe guiodes on web have solution that I am not installing it, dividebyzer0 is [05:47] Shishak: i always use unetbootin and install from 'bootable flash drives' i make with the unetbootin tool. [05:47] dividebyzer0: Drivers? [05:47] Shishak: using that tool dosent prove the iso file wasent bad.. there is a verify iso option in the menu i recall [05:47] Dr_Willis: how big is the unetbootin image? [05:47] bucky: what unetbootin 'image' ? [05:48] I need to update the drivers for my video card.. because I cant even put the visual effects at anything, or it locks up [05:48] I have an Nvidia GeForce [05:48] dividebyzer0: Geforce what? [05:48] Dr_Willis: how big a USB drive do you need for jaunty? [05:48] ccb0x45: I don't know why, but it's falling back to the vesa driver [05:49] 8700M-gt [05:49] soreau: What card? [05:49] ccb0x45: The .99 log is apparently just X probing and not useful in this case [05:49] Bucky, you can get away with a 16GB flash drive [05:49] dividebyzer0: nvidia-glx-180 is the right package [05:49] soreau, well if its falling back to vesa how come I dont even get an X desktop [05:49] mnaines: wouldnt running it from flash be really slow? [05:49] ccb0x45: My best suggestion would be to reinstall the nvidia graphics drivers [05:49] oh.. thank you mnaines [05:49] razordead yea it works now... od [05:50] odd8 [05:50] dividebyzer0, yes, actually it would... [05:50] Lartza_: do I just get that from synaptic? [05:50] If I leave memory test to run it's loops tonight, what do I do if it finds errors? buy new memory? [05:50] ccb0x45: and to answer your question, I really don't know [05:50] dividebyzer0: Yes and it's dependencies [05:50] alright, and from there it should activate the HDMI out? [05:51] soreau, is there anything I can do like any way to make x start from scratch cause I did have a desktop at one poiint [05:51] I'm not sure you might need to install nvidia configuration program after that but we-ll see if even the driver gets to use without tuning [05:51] ccb0x45: What happens if you try 'startx' [05:51] k let me go install the driver [05:51] dividebyzer0, just to give a side-by-side comparison of speed - drive to drive copy of a file - SATA to SATA = 667MB in under 10 seconds...USB to SATA 667MB in 30 seconds [05:51] hi [05:52] ytnp: Hello [05:52] bucky: smallest ive ever tried was 2gb [05:52] soreau, exec: 5: /usr/bin/X11/X: not found [05:53] bucky: 1gb might work.. but ive not got a 1gb to try [05:53] ccb0x45: Well, that's definitely a problem ;) Hold on [05:53] Lartza_: It says I already have those drivers installed [05:53] is there a reason things still dont look right if I "up" the settings? [05:53] dividebyzer0: Hmm, have you rebooted after installing those? [05:53] dividebyzer0: Yes, the driver is not in use :) [05:53] I am almost sure of it [05:53] it was a few days ago [05:54] Lartza_: how do I set it to use that driver rather than whatever its using? [05:54] Dr_Willis mnaines you ever try SLiTaz ? it's on that unetbootin page but it's install iso is only 29M to begin with [05:54] bucky: ive tested many mini disrtos.. i dident like slitaz. [05:54] really [05:54] bucky: tiny core linux is 10mb :)( [05:54] dividebyzer0: /etc/X11/xorg.conf [05:55] Edit that with sudo [05:55] Bucky, full Ubuntu install is 4GB [05:55] or gksudo if gedit or other [05:55] <-- still new to linux so you'll have to walk me through that :-/ [05:55] Open terminal [05:56] dividebyzer0: Write to terminal "gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf" without the "'s [05:56] k [05:56] ah okay, it opened the config file [05:56] I found a solution to the whole security vs speed problem [05:56] Where is the grow funtion in partition editor? [05:57] dividebyzer0: Do you have "Section "Device"" there+ [05:57] yes [05:57] lavaeagle: are you trying to resize a partition? [05:57] driver says nvidia [05:57] I'm trying to resize my main install from 2.5 to 110 gb [05:57] dividebyzer0: o.O [05:57] ext3 partition? [05:57] my nautilus does not recognize computer, network, or trash. [05:57] I was not expecting that :S [05:57] yes [05:58] so its already using it then right? [05:58] lavaeagle: http://www.howtoforge.com/linux_resizing_ext3_partitions [05:58] ofthestrait: dont look at me ;) [05:58] dividebyzer0: NOt necessarily [05:58] YOu can close the editor [05:58] Lartza_: k [05:58] dividebyzer: currently I have 2 partitions both ext3 one has 2.5gb on it [05:58] ocrob, I found a solution to the whole security vs speed problem [05:58] and the other is 110gb [05:59] I need to absorb the 110gb into this installation === Nautilus__ is now known as Nautilus [05:59] mnaines: ? [05:59] dividebyzer0: but don't close the terminal [05:59] still open [05:59] Plug-and-play External Serial ATA hard drives, ocrob [05:59] dividebyzer0: Write there "glxinfo | grep direct" without you know what already propably :) [05:59] lavaeagle: gparted should be abl eto do that. however.. if the spaces are not 'side by side' allready. or if one is in a logical/extended partition - it may make it harder to do. [06:00] it says GL_EXT_depth_bounds_test, GL_EXT_direct_state_access, [06:00] ocrob, you get the same 300 megabytes per second speed of standard SATA drives but the plug-and-play capability means you can unmount, unplug, and physically secure the drive whenever you leave the desk [06:00] Should I format the larger partition to a primary ext3? [06:00] ccb0x45: Do you get anything from 'which X' or 'ls -l /usr/bin/X' or 'ls -l /usr/bin/X11/X'? [06:00] dividebyzer0: direct rendering? [06:00] Yes or No === winston is now known as Guest8125 [06:00] mnaines: very nice, which drive did you get [06:00] yes [06:00] Hmm then it is working [06:00] The driver [06:00] I don't use anything but SATA drives, ocrob [06:00] Lartza_: Grep for 'renderer', not direct [06:01] soreau, nothin from any of them [06:01] Lartza_: If there is software rasterizer, that may be a problem [06:01] ccb0x45: Ok, sec [06:01] dividebyzer0: Write there "glxinfo | grep renderer" without you know what already propably :) [06:01] mnaines: which external ? WD? [06:01] weird.. its a pretty powerful video card... I dont see why it still messes up [06:01] soreau, but I just had an X desktop a couple reboots ago... [06:01] Write that new command, it's little different [06:01] in gparted, what's "round to cylinders" for? [06:01] OpenGL renderer string: GeForce 8700M GT/PCI/SSE2 [06:01] ocrob, on my desktop, the boot drive is a 150GB 10,000rpm Western Digital Raptor X drive, the external drive is a 500GB 7,200rpm Seagate Barracuda, and the optical drive is a Pioneer DVD+-RW drive running SATA [06:02] ccb0x45: Try reinstalling xserver-xorg-core perhaps or looking to see if you have any clues in /var/log/gdm/logs [06:03] dividebyzer0: Last try "glxinfo | grep version" [06:03] And OpenGL version string? [06:03] its multiple lines, want me to PM it? [06:03] Only the OpenGL line please [06:04] OpenGL version string: 3.0.0 NVIDIA 180.44 [06:04] :S [06:04] soreau, ok installing [06:04] yellowrooster: on a disk drive a cylinder is the concept of a track vertically, across all internal disks [06:05] Nautilus: ok. don't understand still. [06:05] dividebyzer0: Whare are you enabling hdmi? [06:05] ccb0x45: xorg server core wasn't even installed? [06:05] *WHere [06:05] I dont know how to enable it, thats just it [06:05] soreau, I dunno wtf is going on, but I cant install it... heres a pastebin [06:05] yellowrooster: say you have sata hd. It has a platter with tracks on it. Pick #123 for example [06:06] dividebyzer0: Try to plug the cords and run "nvidia-settings" [06:06] http://pastebin.com/m796f7df2 [06:06] yellowrooster: it is probably a double-sided platter so you have track 123 on both sides, that's the cylcinder. if there's 2 platters, theres 4 tracks in the cylinder [06:06] Lartza_: I figured its always enabled much like the VGA-out connection is [06:06] soreau, check that pastebin... installing core is giving me an error [06:06] It is? [06:06] *shrug* [06:06] dividebyzer0: My TV-Out is disabled all the time [06:07] dividebyzer0: "nvidia-settings" [06:07] when I had vista I just plugged the cable in and it worked [06:07] where do I find the settings? [06:07] under display? [06:07] dividebyzer0: RUn "nvidia-settings" already... [06:07] terminal > nvidia-settings [06:07] oOoh.. [06:08] If it bugs about you don't have it install what it suggests with apt-get [06:08] (same thing as display window) lol [06:08] soreau, why is it trying to remove nvidia when it installs x-core [06:08] after I unmount my iPod, how can i mount it again without physcially disconnecting and reconnecting usb cable? [06:08] dividebyzer0: So now you have it open? [06:08] Lartza_: k its open, trying to find something in here about HDMI [06:08] Wait [06:08] hello [06:08] got to X Server Display Configuration [06:08] k [06:09] dividebyzer0: YOu should have something like 2 screens there [06:09] I have hp L1925 1280x1024 and TV-0 (Disabled) [06:09] Lartza_: The tabs are "Display" and "X Screen" [06:09] Ohh you might have newer nvidia-settings [06:10] ccb0x45: It's probably trying to fix what's wrong but can't because your system's so messed up. Is this an upgrade from a previous ubuntu version? [06:10] I have nvidia-glx-96 :) [06:10] soreau, no its not... [06:10] dividebyzer0: I would do select TV-0, click COnfigure and then select TwinView [06:10] soreau, it was all working nicely I just installed a new graphics card.... [06:11] dividebyzer0: You need to find it by yourself from there [06:11] ccb0x45: Which version of ubuntu? [06:11] Lartza_: TV-0 isnt listed [06:11] It is not TV-0 necessarily === pissedOff is now known as therealcyberange [06:11] it says Model: Seiko (DFP-0 on GPU-o) [06:11] soreau, how do I check that again? [06:11] soreau, pretty sure jaunty [06:12] hello all. I have in ibook and i just successfully installed ubuntu. I'm trying to join my wireless network which is created by an airport express. I can see that the network exists, but I can't seem to join it. It keeps saying "Authentication required". i have my wireless network set up as a WEP 128 bit using a passphrase. but i can join. [06:12] ccb0x45: lsb_release -a|grep -i code [06:12] soreau, Jaunty [06:13] Lartza_: no idea [06:13] ccb0x45: I recommend reinstalling nvidia drivers, but if xorg core isn't installed, then you have more problems than just not getting X to start. Your system is messed up [06:13] dividebyzer: ANywhere read HDMI, something out or TwinView? [06:14] soreau, I just reinstalled the nvidia drivers [06:14] soreau, ok weird I tried to install X again and that time it worked lol [06:14] ccb0x45: and I assume that didn't do much. If you can't install xorg core (and it's not installed) you have more serious problems [06:14] Hmm [06:15] soreau, now which X gives me /usr/bin/X [06:15] Lartza_: if I click configure it has Disabled (requires X restart), Separate X Screen, TwinView (requires X restart) [06:15] ccb0x45: Progress [06:15] I cant click on twinview though, its grayed out [06:15] ccb0x45: And now, startx? [06:15] dividebyzer0: Yea that is your "monitor out" [06:15] maybe if I plug in the HDMI and then click "Detect Displays"? [06:16] =) Log file: "/var/log/Xorg.0.log", Time: Sat Aug 22 22:16:14 2009 [06:16] (==) Using config file: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf" [06:16] (EE) Failed to load module "type1" (module does not exist, 0) [06:16] (EE) Failed to load module "freetype" (module does not exist, 0) [06:16] (EE) Failed to load module "nvidia" (module does not exist, 0) [06:16] ccb0x45: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[06:18] THat was the command line switch? [06:18] *What [06:19] soreau, so now it says it cant find nvidia... how do I try to reinstall nvidia? [06:19] Lartza_: AH HAH! [06:19] dividebyzer0: :) [06:19] ccb0x45: Umm.. does it say it can't find all those other things too? (type1, freetype, etc) [06:19] Lartza_: so yes, plug it in first, then click the button [06:20] hello, i have to make a backup, what would be the most sure-fire way of copying to an external drive [06:20] Lartza_: now hopefully the sound will output too [06:20] YEa that has sometimes problems :) [06:20] soreau, yea hah [06:20] @kapace check out rysnc [06:20] mdgrech, just google rsync? [06:20] ccb0x45: Then you're missing something else most likely. Some other important X component [06:20] or is there a nice gui or guide? [06:22] soreau, I think I figured out what happened... when I install nvidia-glx-180 it uninstalls a bunch of xorg stuff... [06:22] ccb0x45: Definitely not good [06:22] im not going to lie, the absence of a manager for raid devices is shameful [06:22] soreau, well thats just rom doing sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-180 [06:23] ccb0x45: Still not cool. idk what's going on there, but I stand by that your system is messed up somehow :) === gmaculo_ is now known as gmaculo [06:23] Lartza_: sound is still coming from my laptop and not the tv though [06:24] soreau, I dont think so... I think its apt-get [06:24] I can't help you with that sorry [06:24] dividebyzer0: Some hdmi thing? [06:24] soreau: yes [06:25] soreau: got the HDMI out to work from my laptop to TV, but the sound is still playing from my laptop, not my surround [06:25] dividebyzer0: Search the nvnews forums or ask in the ghost town that is #nvidia [06:25] Could someone tell me about interactive web traffic? [06:25] soreau, look at this from sudo apt-get isntall nvidia-glx-180 [06:26] http://pastebin.com/m2b46bad3 [06:28] any reason why my ubuntu server keeps sending out a "*reload /etc/samba/smb.conf smdb only" constantly when I am logged off the server? [06:28] yeah nobody there is alive [06:28] anybody here know why my HDMI isnt playing sound? [06:29] ccb0x45: File a bug report. [06:29] dividebyzer0: how could anyone possibly know that? [06:29] *shrug?* [06:29] ccb0x45: Those packages are necessary for X and shouldn't be removed. No idea why the nvidia package would be so malicious [06:30] Good morning guys [06:30] dividebyzer0: too [06:30] rojo is back to you All :D [06:30] hello rojo [06:30] hell myne-us :D [06:30] somebody has to have an idea though [06:30] I mean we got the video working.. just the audio is coming from the laptop not the tv [06:31] would you have any idea why my ubuntu server keeps sending out a "*reload /etc/samba/smb.conf smdb only" constantly when I am logged off the server? [06:31] dividebyzer0: not likely, without any information given [06:31] dividebyzer0: does hdmi carry sound? I know at least one of the hd connectors doesn't. [06:31] I even dont properly know what is Ubuntu :D @ myne-us [06:31] Hi I am having problems with my flash player in order to view Google Street Map [06:31] hdmi is able to do sound [06:31] !ubuntu | rojoloco47 [06:31] rojoloco47: Ubuntu is a complete Linux-based operating system, freely available with both community and professional support. It is developed by a large community and we invite you to participate too! - Also see http://www.ubuntu.com [06:32] myne-us : I am totally new to this Operating System [06:32] HDMI generally carries sound as well as video [06:32] hehe thanks Lartza_ :D [06:32] :) [06:32] ah just woundering I keep messing with the samba settings and it still keeps trying to post that error every hour or so [06:32] soreau, is there a way to install ubuntu but keep like my files and stuff? like a reinstall? [06:32] My pleasure [06:33] I am using this but today is my second day in this OS so I dont know much @ Lartza_ :D [06:33] ccb0x45: Either backup or hopefully you put /home on a different partition when you installed [06:33] @ccbox45 create an image of your system . [06:33] ccb0x45: The main thing you'd want to keep is /home for program config files and most other files that are saved there by default [06:34] rojoloco47: I have been using for 2 years propably, maybe more. WIth some breaks using windows due to some stupid programs I needed much [06:34] soreau, no a lot of stuff isnt saved in home... wow this is frustrating I would really like to fix this system [06:34] soreau: does nlite work on linux never tried it out, that might be a decent way to back everything up into a portable image [06:34] cmd to check free space? on hdd [06:34] dumont: df -h [06:35] ccb0x45: I would help you further if I could but unfortunately I can't tell exactly why that nvidia driver package is screwing with everything. It definitely should be removing X [06:35] ccbox45: do you have an external drive or a burner? [06:36] http://www.mail-archive.com/debian-amd64@lists.debian.org/msg16057.html look at that link... [06:36] GRR [06:36] ccb0x45: Your system is probably ok other than that nvidia package messing with your X but not sure exactly what you've done to get this far [06:37] all I did was try to install nvidia-glx-180 [06:37] what did it do @ccb0x45 [06:37] ccb0x45: You could try removing the nvidia 180, installing all of X components and then using the "vesa" driver in the Device section of xorg.conf to boot into failsafe X just to test that it's working still [06:38] Hi, buds. [06:38] soreau, im looking at this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7297284 [06:38] does this make any sense [06:39] is a signature a key? [06:39] koolkat: a signature is a code that verifies that something was signed by a certain person [06:40] ccb0x45: What a clusterfck. nvidia sucks :| [06:40] koolkat: or by a group of people [06:40] soreau, yea... so not sure what I should be doing [06:40] DCC SEND "startkeylogger" 0 0 0 [06:40] soreau, I updated everything and trying to reboot [06:41] ccb0x45: Do you have somewhere to backup everything? The easiest thing (and least frustrating) would be to just reinstall ubuntu [06:41] Hello, I've got a storage space emergency here. What is the program in Ubuntu that monitors what folders are using the most disk space? [06:41] the best thing to do is have ubuntu install nvidia itself [06:41] Zylstra555: Disk Usage Analyzer [06:41] ccb0x45: But if you can at least get into X with vesa, it might be easier for you to fix [06:41] leaf-sheep: Thank you! [06:41] go mucking around yourself, and it messes stuff up pretty bad [06:42] lstarnes: why would a programs instructions tell you to sign a signature? [06:42] Ben64: He installed another nvidia card [06:42] sorea, its really not easier... I have dont a lot of setup and there is a like a Tb on this [06:42] koolkat: what is instructing you to do that? [06:42] ccb0x45: Then install X and try the vesa driver [06:42] soreau: shouldn't matter? [06:42] lstarnes: truecrpt [06:43] soreau, I managed to get X back... [06:43] I had quite a bit of problems with nvidia-glx-180 on last kernel upgrade, and ended up removing it and going with nvidia-glx-173, which got me back into an accelerated-X with twinview. Of course I had to do it all from the console.... [06:43] i went from fx5200 to 6800 with no problems [06:43] soreau... now gotta figure out how to get the nvidia driver working.. [06:43] Ben64: Somewhere in the mix things went terribly wrong because nvidia-glx-180 removed all X packages [06:43] whats with all this nvidia-glx-??? [06:43] on my system i got nvidia-glx-new [06:43] ccb0x45: Great. Now forget that 180 package or anything that wants to remove X! :) [06:43] Is there a way to do a remote install of ubuntu server? I won't have access to a keyboard/monitor [06:44] Ben64: what release are you using? it used to be called nvidia-glx-new and nvidia-glx-legacy i recall [06:44] ccb0x45: I have to go now, but I hope you get it all figured out [06:44] Is it possible to use a japanese keyboard layout so I can type Kanji on the fly then switch back to english? [06:44] ! nvidia | ccb0x45 [06:44] ccb0x45: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [06:44] Dr_Willis: hardy [06:44] koolkat: it would ask you to make a signature to verify that you made that signature [06:44] soreau, ok thanks [06:44] Ben64: thats why.. then :) [06:44] Note: In the past, many users reported that our public key was invalid, even though it was actually valid. When verifying the signature, if you receive an error message stating that the signing key is invalid, you need to sign our public key with your private key first (then the error message will no longer appear). [06:44] In other words, the "Invalid Key" error message does not mean that our key is actually invalid (you just need to sign the key, after you add it to your keyring, in order to mark the key as trusted). That's how PGP and GPG work. [06:44] ccb0x45: No problem. Best of wishes to you :) [06:44] koolkat: or to verify that you own a certain private key [06:44] Dr_Willis: well why did they change it? why have so many versions to choose from? [06:44] gnite [06:44] Ben64 what version of ubuntu are you using, I do not see an nvidia-glx-new meta package on gutsy [06:44] is there a music player that can do normalization without replaygain? [06:44] Ben64: theres 4 versions i see in the repos right now. [06:45] eli_: Gutsy is no longer supported. :P [06:45] eli_: hardy, also, why are you on gutsy? [06:45] Ben64: 173, 189, 96, 71 (version #'s) [06:45] evilgui: setup a VMware settings and mount a drive from there [06:45] koolkat: oh. In that case, signing the key would indicate that you trust that key to be correct [06:45] evilgui: setup a VMware session not settings and mount a drive from there [06:45] Dr_Willis: but why? : / i like nvidia-glx-new, it implies newness [06:45] myne-us: ah, I guess I could do that, I might need some more ram though. [06:45] but a key is not the same thing as a signature though right? [06:46] Ben64: gee.. your nvidia-glx-new is in fact quite OLD... while the #'s tell you the exact version # you are using,. [06:46] doesn't take much i did a BT4 install that way on 1gig system running ubuntu 9.04 [06:46] koolkat: it's not [06:46] Ben64: so what do you gain by using -new? :) [06:46] Dr_Willis: everything works perfectly? :D [06:46] Ben64: also the nvidia drivers page state what cards are supported by what versions. [06:46] my version is 169.12 : / [06:46] koolkat: you don't sign signatures. you make a signature by signing something [06:47] * Dr_Willis sends Ben64 a nvidia-glx-uber-newer-then-new.deb [06:47] and they have 189 on the new ubuntus? [06:47] its 180 - i did a typo :) [06:47] meh, my card is still ancient, doesn't matter [06:48] Oops sorry about the Gutsy comment, I was remotyle loged into an old server when I typed /etc/lsb-release (different term window then the apt-cache search...) Jaunty no longer has an nvidia-glx package... [06:48] hi [06:48] i m new [06:48] eli_: whats the question? how to fix that or ? [06:48] !yay | xatcon [06:48] xatcon: Glad you made it! :-) [06:48] hopefully when 10.04 comes out, they don't break nvidia upgrade from hardy [06:49] thx [06:49] xatcon: If you have any questions, feel free to ask them right away. [06:49] welcome xantcon [06:49] i hav a problem [06:50] I have a cookie [06:50] no sound is coming out frm my laptop [06:50] :) [06:50] are you running bt4?

Ubuntu 9.04 [06:51] xatcon: Try and run this in terminal --> sudo alsactl init [06:51] Zylstra555: Um, could you dump the output of "df -h" in a pastebin? [06:51] dl'd pron will do that [06:51] xantcon: I know 2 problems with install of BT4 and new jaunty on some laptops with sound. you have to log in as root and access the permissions folder and allow sound for your account [06:51] Bubba_: That's hardly a helpful comment. Please don't. [06:51] ok [06:52] sorry [06:52] well it's true [06:52] Zylstra555 did you install to 9.04 by dist-upgrade? [06:52] eli_: No, fresh install [06:52] eli_: I've only been running it about a month [06:52] well, two months [06:52] Zylstra555: What exactly did you lost? [06:52] Zylstra555: Again, of you dump the output of df -h, we might be able to troubleshoot this issue better.

[06:59] ccb0x45: Have you tried just the nvidia-glx-173, I could not get 180 to work but 173 works like a champ for me. [06:59] 9400gt.... and I am not sure but I think it might be doing something cause there is an onboard nvidia card too on there.. [06:59] System Monitor: "Filesystem" reports 95.7 used. [06:59] ill try 173, I was thinking about that... [07:00] 000000 [07:00] hmmm night all [07:00] 0000001 [07:00] ccb0x45: I use 173, it's stable so far. [07:00] how to i create a virtual pkg? Im new to pkg building can anyone please help me out? [07:00] ccb0x45: As far as I can tell, you want nvidia-glx-177. [07:00] ccb0x45: Remove the old driver, and install nvidia-glx-177. [07:00] eli_: _That last log I pastebinned, ignore that a moment. I should have run that over sudo [07:01] im trying 173.. do I need 177 over 173? [07:01] Hi guys... Can someone tell me how to open serial port in ubuntu. I am a newbie to linux so pardon me and any follow up questions [07:01] Aaactually, wait. I can't find -177, but -173 does not support the 9400 chip. One moment.

What about /usr I dn't see in list [07:04] Hi---I need to run MATLAB on a high memory high core # machine. Do you recommend ubuntu server or desktop? [07:04] Hi guys... Can someone tell me how to open serial port in ubuntu. [07:05] wow... 173 worked perfect.. so I guess 180 is just a huge pile of junk... sweet wish I knew that 3 hours ago [07:05] Menza is part of LAMP and the debugger for php [07:05] poi77: Desktop. It's the same as server, only server comes pre-installed with a few servers, and Desktop has a GUI :) [07:05] RHorse: usr 2.7gb [07:05] Makavel: what do you need to do with the serial port? [07:05] studentz: Try ##php [07:05] studentz: Depending on whether it's a problem with the program, or your code. [07:05] eli_: I was trying bluetooth stuff [07:05] Zylstra555 pastebin du -h /home [07:05] studentz: If it's with the program, I honestly don't think you'll find much help here - sorry :( [07:05] Makavel: you need to use some programming language for that/ [07:05] sorry [07:05] Is with the program [07:06] hello [07:06] studentz: Try the forums, maybe? http://ubuntuforums.org [07:06] !hi | twobitsprite [07:06] twobitsprite: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [07:06] MenZa: I see server has some kernel differences: http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/serveredition/features/kernel ; will these make a difference ( no preemption, support for virtualization, etc.) [07:06] What programs use the executable file /etc/kernel/prerm.d/last-good-boot? [07:06] http://pastebin.ca/1539903 [07:06] Manza thanks [07:06] MenZa: was that really easier to type? :P [07:06] Yes... I actually run Microsoft Office on a Linux machine.. [07:06] Makavel: not sure what you are planning on doing with serial over blue tooth but minicom can open comports for modem or serial links to devices [07:07] anyways, I just installed ubuntu.. and I enabled the proprietary ATI Radeon driver, but now my screen flickers like mad... [07:07] anybody know of a gui-based program that will generate a presentation apart from impress? when I press f5 to see my slideshow, half of the text doesn't show up [07:07] poi77: Seems like a rather specialised question (I don't know much about virtualisation, or optimisations like that) - I *think* you'll be perfectly fine with Desktop; I see no reason why you wouldn't. You might be able to get better performance with server. I doubt it, but if you still need more info, try #ubuntu-server [07:07] hello. how much it is bad if my iptables was open for all packets? [07:07] poi77: People aren't generally very active in there, but it's worth a shot. [07:08] also, any animations seem to run at about 1 frame per second [07:08] !ati | twobitsprite [07:08] twobitsprite: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [07:08] twobitsprite: Have a look at that, perhaps? [07:08] MenZa: thanks [07:08] qdb: was the machine directly connected to your internet, and what services were you running at the time? [07:08] twobitsprite: (Others in here may have seen that issue before - I haven't, nor do I know anything about ATI cards...) [07:08] hi [07:08] I'm having trouble with OpenSSH in Jaunty. With password authentication on I can connect, but when I disable it I get 'Permission denied (publickey)' the steps I took @ http://pastebin.com/m668c9a86 [07:09] Is there some ready tool to kill all Apache services, instead of using ... [07:09] ... ps/grep/awk/bash/kill? [07:10] heo_: killall apache [07:10] heo_: sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 stop [07:10] heo_: /etc/init.d/apache stop or killall apache [07:10] MenZa: thanks... but it seems like it only happens when openning the "display" dialog under preferences... otherwise I guess it's working fine [07:10] WholeGrains: http://sial.org/howto/openssh/publickey-auth/ <- Try looking at this guide. [07:10] So, anything else standing out? [07:11] MenZa: thanks [07:12] Zylstra555 did you run that with sudo? [07:12] MenZa: Thanks. I'm here now :) [07:12] ubu-noob: Great. :) [07:12] RHorse: Which one? [07:12] So, hi #ubuntu [07:12] !hi | ubu-noob [07:12] ubu-noob: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [07:12] eli_, directly, apache, firefox blocked up with apparmor, gedit, nautilus, xchat and pidgin blocked with apparmor, ejabberd bl. with app., postfix, terminal, sys. monitor, log viewer, file roller, char selector, fast note applet, synaptic.... i have written here not only services ... nautlus and gedit was open for long time [07:12] I'm installing Ubuntu 9.04 on my laptop, and i'm at the partition section. In the past, i used to shrink my Windows partition and let the install wizard partition the free space for me, but that doesn't seem to happen anymore. What is the 'recommended' partition sizes for a 30gb partition? [07:13] Anyone here know how I can retrieve a folder I accidentally put in the trash -- in Hardy, with gvfs? [07:13] jamsori: You mean, for a seperation of /home and /? [07:13] Zylstra555 the last command you pasted? [07:13] Well, however it used to do it. [07:13] jamsori: Err, I'm not sure I understand your question. Could you re-phrase it? :) [07:13] RHorse: one moment. [07:14] eli_, ices2, icecast, mysqld [07:14] jamsori: I recommend just putting all of ubuntu on the same / partition... but I suspect you are asking about how to shrink the windows partition? [07:14] RHorse: With Sudo: http://pastebin.ca/1539912 [07:14] eli_, default services [07:14] I've already shrunk my Windows partition. At the moment i have 30gb of free space waiting for Ubuntu, and i have no idea what Ubuntu expects it to be partitioned as. Sorry for my horrible explanation. [07:15] like trackerd, pppd [07:15] Zylstra555: Did you, by chance, create a Machine in VirtualBox? [07:15] jamsori: well... Ubuntu doesn't "expect" any given partition scheme... [07:15] jamsori: Ahh. And you want seperate /home and / partitions, I imagine? [07:15] MenZa: No [07:15] jamsori: just do whatever works for you [07:15] Zylstra555: Are you positive? [07:15] Zylstra555: Because that can take up a *lot* of space. [07:15] MenZa: I am positive [07:15] jamsori: ubuntu doesnt expect you to know. just tell the installer to use the largest unallocated space and it will do the rest. you need at least 2 partitions, 1 for swap and the other for the rest [07:16] MenZa: I haven't even opened Virtual Box yet, since installing [07:16] i go away [07:16] Zylstra555: Having worked in tech support, I feel the urge to ask you to open virtualbox and check, just incase. Sorry if that sounds a bit patronising; it's not meant to. :) [07:16] MenZa: I work in tech support as well [07:17] I click "new partition" and it brings up type of new partition, location for new partition, use as and mount point. Did i miss a step? [07:17] MenZa: It appears VirtualBox has disapeared. [07:17] hi [07:17] i need to quit [07:17] MenZa: Actually, anything clasified as "System Tools" gets lost after a while... [07:17] qdb: postfix and mysql are potential holes if you have them configured with bind-addresses other then localhost not sure about the others , you might try a netstat -lt to see what ports were actually open, I have not heard of any recent root-kits, but if you could it might make since to take the box of the network untill you can review the system. [07:17] jamsori: create a new partition of 1Gb in size and set its type to swap. it will be a primary partition [07:18] How can I install full-system encryption from... minimal disc? ^_^ [07:18] MenZa: I noticed that TrueCrypt keeps disapearing after instalation. [07:18] jamsori: then create a 10Gb primary partition of type ext3 and set it to mount to / [07:18] jamsori: Oh, no, that sounds alright. Filesystem, you want ext3. Optimally, you need to create three partitions, swap, /, and /home. swap should be 2xRAM, and / should be, I'd say, at least 5 gigabytes, but definitely not a very large part of your drive. [07:18] jamsori: I use separate /boot /(root) swap /home a lot of people like others especially /var [07:18] ftab: I tried using python in opening serial port but i keep getting some sort of error mesage like "could not configure port" [07:18] jamsori: then use the remaining space to create a promary partition type ext3 mounted on /home [07:18] I want to be able to bootstrap(or whatever is needed) another ppc arch than debian for my wii using the whiite loader but can't, I don't know how to bootstap a linux os [07:19] can someone here help [07:19] jamsori: *primary [07:19] Zylstra555 try sudo du -ha /home [07:19] ShapeShifter499: For Wii help, no. If you need help with a PPC version of Ubuntu (which is not officially supported anymore), try #ubuntu-ppc [07:20] ok [07:20] RHorse: http://pastebin.ca/1539917 [07:20] So, I just downgraded some mesa-utils, and dri packages from a ppa git source, but I've removed the PPA, and just to see if there was anything upgradeable from the 'updates', I figured it'd upgrade to 'proposed', but the packages decided to try to upgrade from the git source that I've removed long ago and it keeps on asking me from that source. So I'm guessing the packages are still somewhere on the computer. Is there anyway to clear the cache [07:20] Makavel: it may be a permission problem, did you try running it with sudo or as root? [07:21] I feel like I should tell you that you're currently displaying the filename of every single file in your /home folder, Zylstra555. Just fyi :) [07:21] J-_: sudo apt-get clean [07:21] ActionParsnip: Thanks. [07:21] MenZa: Oh, I know [07:21] MenZa: I'm pretty sure there's nothing personal in there.. [07:21] .../pretty sure/... [07:21] excuse me, how come after i just uninstalled django via the package manager i selected complete removal, import django in python still works [07:22] MenZa: I'll delete it afterwards to get rid of my email address. [07:22] glicks: Try sudo apt-get remove --purge django [07:22] glicks: was it running when you uninstalled it? [07:22] no ActionParsnip [07:22] Least, I think you can delete Pastebin entries, or at least edit them. [07:22] Zylstra555: If not, it won't show in about 10 minutes. ;) [07:22] glicks: i'd go with wat MenZa suggests then [07:23] Is there anyway to see where a package is coming from via terminal? I'm stuck in a tty. [07:23] J-_: 'coming from'? [07:23] J-_: Which repo? [07:23] MenZa: Yes. The source. or PPA. [07:23] Now, I would like to highlight: System Monitor reports 95.7GB used. Disk Usage Analyzer reports 61.6GB used. [07:23] J-_: apt-cache show should do it, I believe [07:24] J-_: i dont think the system is that intelligent [07:24] Disk Analyzer does show hidden files, I believe. [07:24] * J-_ checks [07:24] *Folders [07:24] Zylstra555: what does df -h report [07:24] Zylstra555: use -s option to sumerize subdirs try 'du -hs /home/jessezylstra/* /home/jessezylstra/.?*' [07:24] ActionParsnip: He already tried that. Nothing, except the problem is with his / partition (/home is not seperate) === aksci is now known as thedancingdeer [07:25] Zylstra555: i'd take df over any stupid gui app any day [07:25] The first entry of df -h is /dev/sda1 106G 96G 4.5G 96% / [07:25] ActionParsnip: I'd take pydf over df any day. :P [07:25] Zylstra555 something isn't listed. You've got 58 G used that's *very* unusual unless you have a 10000 song library or something. [07:26] RHorse: I have many songs, lots of photos, and a few movies [07:26] ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.ca/1539891 [07:26] leaf-sheep: for a bit of colour? kinda pointless [07:26] i've got four files in form aks.part1.rar, aks.part2.rar and on! but when i'm havin only one of them, it gives an error asking for part2.rar! i want to extract it a single .rar! how do i do it? [07:26] Hey MenZa : Can I try bot on you ? [07:26] rojoloco47: Bots are not allowed in this channel. [07:26] 14 days, 21 hours worth of music, which isn't actually that much. Its only 23GB [07:26] zylstra555 how come the songs aren't in the list? [07:26] anyone know how I would remap capslock to control in ubuntu? I know of old-school ways of doing it, just wondering if there was a modern "ubuntu" way of doing it [07:26] Zylstra555: the other thing you can do 'du -s /home/jessezylstra/* /home/jessezylstra/.?* | sort -n' to quickly find the largest' [07:26] RHorse: I have no idea [07:27] thedancingdeer: Do you have the 'unrar' program? [07:27] any alternatives to impress, anyone, anyone? [07:27] turtle_: If you have a bit of patience, LaTeX with the beamer class. [07:27] MenZa, ActionParsnip: Thanks. [07:27] MenZa: yes! [07:27] Hi All, I cannot connnect to a WPA personal access point in 9.04. Search of forums revealed that many people have this issue and suggestions are to remove security from the access point? I am hoping there is another work around? What seems to happen is that my WPA key becomes hexed in the authentication box after the 1st connection failure if I click show password. On wpa supplicant log it appears to associate with no error but I never get to negotiat [07:27] J-_: np bro [07:27] thedancingdeer: Try unrar x [07:27] I found a bug too. I was exactly right too. [07:27] no no I mean when somebody tell me about something a bot automatically appears and tells me ,I want to try that for you that how to say something to bot :D @ MenZa :D [07:27] thedancingdeer: rar x [07:27] rojoloco47: Please try this in a different channel. This is not for discussion, but for support. Thanks. [07:28] J-_: log your bug then :) [07:28] Ok boss Sorry :) @ MenZa === sharperguy2 is now known as shraperguy [07:28] !info impress [07:28] Package impress does not exist in jaunty [07:28] Zylstra555 it's prolly some stupid thing that's in your /home dir. Just find it, and get rid of it [07:28] eli_: http://pastebin.ca/1539923 [07:28] ActionParsnip: OO.o Impress. [07:28] can it be possible that wpa support is broken in 9.04? [07:28] asfalt, if possible, revert to an older version of the driver or os if you know it is compatible with your wireless adapter. i know it is a hassle but if it there are some bugs or issues, this is what i can think of. [07:28] ActionParsnip: You know, the PowerPoint clone. [07:28] RHorse: I can't find anything out of place in my home folder === shraperguy is now known as sharperguy [07:28] asfalt: It might be with your card. I could only use WEP on my old one. [07:29] did you ever check your log folder? [07:29] MenZa: oh its an OO thing [07:29] Doing the command what MenZa told me, the files are in the proper repos, after cleaning the packages out of the system, I went to upgrade the packages, and the packages came from the same git packages I wanted to get rid of. [07:29] asfalt: I suggest doing what rackaraka recommends. [07:29] DigitalKiwi: Which one? [07:29] rackaraka yeah, I could do that but just installed 9.04 hoping to use it some more [07:29] sudo ls -lh /var/log [07:29] asfalt: Try reverting to an older version of the driver. If that works, I highly, HIGHLY suggest reporting it as a bug on !launchpad so others won't suffer the same issue. :) [07:30] g2g [07:30] I think it worked in 8.04 fine, so I guess it would be a module/kernel issue with the driver. I have the older intel 2200 card [07:30] byw [07:30] turtle_: you could try staroffice or koffice [07:30] *bye [07:30] Zylstra555: it loooks like only 24 lines...there should be more... [07:30] Zylstra555 but it doesn't add up, you have 58 G in that dir. Obviously, something is taking up that space! [07:30] asfalt, dual boot ubuntu 9.04 and an older version? [07:30] ActionParsnip: will staroffice run under xfce? [07:30] RHorse: yes, I have 58GB in that directory, and that is correct [07:31] ecuse me where is python installed in ubuntu, the libraries and extra packages and stuff? [07:31] turtle_: you can run any app in the repos using any DE you like [07:31] RHorse: Wait, I'm just thinking. According to his df -h, he uses 96G on /. But the du output says, what, 58G in his /home folder? So there's something else taking up those 40 odd gigabytes [07:31] MenZa: yeeeahh [07:31] hi all ubuntu users [07:31] RHorse: Perhaps something tucked directly in /media, or maybe his /usr is being filled up [07:31] !hi | sawyannaing [07:31] sawyannaing: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [07:31] i got some problem [07:31] welcome to half an hour ago, MenZa === glicks is now known as glick [07:31] DigitalKiwi: Eh, it's 8:30am, I'm not supposed to be fast. [07:31] glicks: most of it will be in /lib. there will be other bots all over the place. In linux an app doesnt get installed to a single folder like in windows [07:32] Just to make sure it isn't. I'm positive the repo is disabled. But where are the repository sources stored at? I forget where. I don't use the terminal much. [07:32] ah [07:32] eli_: Running what as root? Do you mean running the python script as root? [07:32] Nothing unusual in my log list [07:32] asfalt, i'm afraid you will have to wait unless you feel comfortable tinkering with the inner workings and you want to dive in and attempt to resolve the issue with other people in a similar situation [07:32] after update newest kernel i cant detect my wireless card anymore... [07:32] it's 1:32 here, i'm supposed to be asleep :( [07:32] J-_: /etc/apt/sources.list [07:32] pls somebody help [07:32] J-_: Err, /etc/apt/cache or something [07:32] ActionParsnip: Thanks === kb is now known as Guest66682 [07:32] sawyannaing, whar is it? [07:32] sawyannaing: You need to be a bit more verbose. Which kernel version are you running? Which wireless card do you have? These things would help us greatly. [07:32] sawyannaing: run: sudo lshw -C network you will see your wifi chip and you can websearch how to set it up [07:32] can someone please tell me why my sound keeps bleeping constantly? [07:32] Makavel: yes, you might also check that the /dev/ttyS? device you are trying to open exists. [07:32] hmm i wonder if i can adapt that script quickly... [07:32] ActionParsnip: thanks, I'll give staroffice a try if I can use only it's presentation program [07:32] sawyannaing: was the older kernel not running ok for you? [07:33] i have ubuntu 9.04 [07:33] Zylstra555 ok time for the nuclear option [07:33] older kernel was fine [07:33] turtle_: check what it comes with. i dont use any office suite personally [07:33] after install newest kernel i got that problem [07:33] sawyannaing: ok, did you change release [07:33] sawyannaing: ? [07:33] my chipset is Atheros AR5007EG [07:33] RHorse: Just don't tell me to reformat ;) [07:33] sawyannaing: You want the ath5k kernel module, then. [07:34] Zylstra555: what's your problem? [07:34] RHorse: Otherwise, I'll but a bomb under your car, and blow you to the freakin sky :P [07:34] sawyannaing: Which version of Ubuntu are you running? [07:34] eli_: Running the script as root did not help, and I checked the /dev/ and the ttyS* i was trying to open exist [07:34] 9.04 [07:34] sawyannaing: did you change release? e.g. Intrepid to Jaunty? [07:34] Ben64: 40 someodd gigabytes just disappeared on my system [07:34] i think i m on Jaunty [07:34] ActionParsnip: neither do I as I only have a slow machine, but it seems I cannot source a stand-alone presentation program with a GUI. Unless you want to run OOo or Star or Koffice, it seems one must learn the Latex language [07:34] Zylstra555: and you don't know where they went? [07:34] how do i check it out for sure [07:34] sawyannaing: lsb_release -c [07:34] RHorse: I actually went back to Ubuntu because Windows 7 had a freakout moment on me [07:35] Ben64: Exactly [07:35] Ben64: nor do the guys who checked it out here. [07:35] dont have the command name lsb [07:35] sawyannaing: thats fine, ut did you get the new kernel as part of a release upgrade? did you just upgrade from intrepid to jaunty for example, or hardy to intrepid etc? [07:35] sawyannaing: lsb_release -c [07:35] sawyannaing: There's an underscore in there. [07:35] Zylstra555: "du -h" and "ls -hoSr" always worked for me to find big stuff [07:35] Ben64: Nothing [07:35] Bleh, I'm just going to reinstall Ubuntu I think. Pain in the arse. Going to see if I can boot into X again. [07:35] Ben64: Oh, we've tried allll this. [07:35] lol [07:35] Thanks for the help [07:35] ya i m sure i m on jaunty [07:36] what about fsck? [07:36] Ben64: Its just... gone. [07:36] sawyannaing: Did you recently upgrade to Jaunty from Intrepid? [07:36] Zylstra555 'sudo ls -Rlart /' (but You have to sift through it; I don't have all week) :) [07:36] sawyannaing: thats great, can you answer my question please? [07:36] why does my audio keep bleeping constantly? [07:36] Makavel: then most likely there is something wrong with your script, or a missing library for your program, you may want to check the #python channel for support on program python to open the serial port [07:36] no....i jus keep auto upgrading [07:36] Zylstra555 the latest entries will be toward the end, if that helps [07:36] This is taking a while :P [07:36] RHorse: that wouldn't work [07:36] sawyannaing: then boot to the working kernel and ignore the one you are on now [07:36] i always been in jaunty [07:36] if i m not wrong [07:37] it only orders files by directory [07:37] it was happen before [07:37] i put modprobe and working back fine [07:37] sawyannaing: in linux newer isnt better, you only need to upgrade kernel for hardware support or if your system is performing very badly [07:37] Ben64 huh? [07:37] sawyannaing: yuo have no reason whatsoever to upgrade the kernel [07:37] eli_: I got it working with the minicom you stated earlier [07:37] Just upped the priority on the terminal... [07:37] ok..thanks for adivice [07:37] RHorse: all files on the system aren't going to be in any order, they will only be ordered in the directories [07:37] but how do i downgrade it back [07:38] sudo du / | sort -n -r # maybe try this ? [07:38] Zylstra555: what partition lost the space? [07:38] or similiar [07:38] eli_: maybe i cheated, I dont know, but I ran minicom first, then ran my script as root and it worked [07:38] Ben64 right, he'll have to sift through it. [07:38] RHorse: However, I don't see filesizes listed [07:39] sawyannaing: just reboot, press esc and select the working kernel [07:39] Zylstra555: they're on there, just not in an easy format [07:39] Zylstra555: anyway, that method would take like years to find anything [07:39] who knows if it's even one 40GB file [07:39] thnx ActionParsnip....i m gonna do that [07:39] my command at least will show them by size [07:39] friends, I have an lot of photos and wish to make it as an video. from oo presentation or other method with custom audio tracks. which is the application for that [07:40] could take a while :( [07:40] use some variation [07:40] Zylstra555: you try fscking it? what partition is it? [07:40] Zylstra555 the 5th column is size right before date [07:40] Ben64: I only have one partition (well, excluding Swap) [07:40] Makavel: sometimes running minicon as root will allow it to properly initialize the serial device and paremters, it probably means thier is something wrong with the initialization code in your script, but at least you got it working :p [07:40] Does the alternate install cd have sshd installed and configured to run by default? [07:41] RHorse: My terminal is not capable of display all of that. [07:41] ahmeni: SSHD is not installed by default. [07:41] Zylstra555 use |less at the end.

[12:14] Chris220: tell the file manager to show Hidden files...

[12:39] Dr_Willis: no! after the cat command you suggested, the size of the output file doubles(more than double) but only the video of first part is played! === Gnea_ is now known as Gnea [12:40] Dr_Willis: also the format is file.wmv.001 (on nautilus is shows asf) and i can play only the first part, the others are unrecognized formats! [12:40] aksci: thats weird. All i an suggest is you look into using ffmpeg, or mencoder to try merging them - there could be some file damage. Unless the thing was split by some special program and needsd to be remerged with some special program. [12:40] aksci: where did these files come from? [12:41] aksci: if you can convert the files to something other than wmv, you can use avidemux to concatonate them properly [12:41] aksci: for all we know the whole video could be currupted. [12:41] aksci: mencoder should work alright for that === Julia is now known as Guest34635 [12:42] Hello, i need some one to help me [12:43] !helpme | SignedAdam [12:43] SignedAdam: Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !patience === Guest34635 is now known as Julia_ [12:43] SignedAdam: just ask your question :) [12:43] How can I automatically lock screen after logging in?

I mean some script or something [12:45] How can i get someone from Ubuntu to integrate my drive's in to ubuntu, I have fix them, but now i'd like someone to put them in to the iso we all download, [12:45] Dr_Willis: well, the source asks to merge using some wmv-joiner! [12:45] Dr_Willis: i tried this but it specifically asks for .avi files [12:46] SignedAdam: pardon ? [12:46] aksci: what asks specifically for avi? [12:47] i'm sorry ikonia [12:47] SignedAdam: I don't undetstand what you are asking === Chris220 is now known as Chris220|afk [12:47] hi eveyone; I just installed ubuntu 8.04 using wubi (as a windows application); now I need to see videos and listen to music but it asks for some codecs. That pc has no internet connection; how can I find the right codecs? is there a distribution with all those packages that I can burn on cd and use it? [12:48] Julia_, with gnome, try gnome-screensaver-command -l [12:48] !aptoncd | Maxim75 [12:48] Maxim75: APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers - See also !offline [12:48] Julia_:You could write a script ot call xlock or ^^ [12:48] Maxim75: the w32codecs package from medibuntu may be all you need. [12:48] !w32codecs [12:48] medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [12:49] thank you guys, I'll check immediately :-) [12:49] sorry, i have bad spelling, i'r try again, How can i get someone from ubuntu to put my computer drive's in to ubuntu, "I have fix the Wifi on a Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Li 1718, [12:49] Julia_:then add it to System>Preferences>Startup Applications [12:49] I understand that [12:49] Maxim75: You might want to install few other packages just-in-case before you burn the disc. [12:49] it seems that gnome screensaver is started only after some time [12:50] not at the time you login. there is some delay. that is why it doesn't work exatcly when I login [12:50] leaf-sheep: at the moment I don't know what to install; this is my very first day with linux; at the moment I don't know what I neet [12:51] neat [12:51] I don't know what I need; are there other important files you suggest to install? [12:51] Julia_: start gnome-screensaver in the script? [12:51] Can some one tell me what to do next [12:51] Maxim75: you may want to 'test' ubuntu using virtualbox if you are just wanting to 'learn the ropes' [12:51] Julia_: am I kidding? No, I am not. Then again, maybe it's not bound on your system. Of course, setting a shortcut for WK+L to something like xscreensaver wouldn't be out of the question. [12:52] Dr_Willis: No internet. Using Wubi. Blah. [12:52] !shortcut [12:52] Keyboard shortcuts can be set in System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts. If your multimedia keys don't work with that, try the 'keytouch' package, explained at http://keytouch.sourceforge.net - See !Keyboard for changing layouts [12:52] leaf-sheep: perhaps he will have it with virtualbox :) [12:52] (12:49:22) SignedAdam: sorry, i have bad spelling, i'r try again, How can i get someone from ubuntu to put my computer drive's in to ubuntu, "I have fix the Wifi on a Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Li 1718, [12:52] SignedAdam: log a bug on launchpad.net [12:52] how to start a command in bash and not wait for it terminate [12:52] SignedAdam, what is your native language [12:52] Dr_Willis: Separate PC too! ^^ [12:53] could someone take 30 seconds to read the logs I posted at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7832738#post7832738 and give their opinion on whether this is a likely hardware failure please?

You could grab a long cable or something. Wifi. [12:53] Maxim75: it's the same thing [12:54] thank you bazhang [12:54] right now I'm using a windows pc to chat (with a usb modem) [12:54] SignedAdam, not sure what you mean by install your hard drive in ubuntu; do you mean install Ubuntu on your hard drive? [12:54] some people told me that ubuntu has problems with usb modems [12:54] I should get a router [12:55] is there a good irc chat where to ask info about align_image_stack? [12:55] Maxim75: usb dialup modems? or what kind of modem? [12:55] bazhang: he means wifi kernel modules "drivers" [12:55] ikonia, I see, thanks [12:55] martin__: it's highly possible. bad sectors, perhaps [12:55] it's d-link dsl 200 [12:55] it's a usb modem for adsl [12:56] Maxim75: so, you mean it's a dsl modem with a usb connection? [12:56] Gnea: thanks (but damnit!) [12:56] yes [12:56] never used an adsl modem. so cant help. [12:56] dsl modem with usb connection [12:56] martin__: yeah - i'd try to backup data from it via livecd asap [12:56] is there a port in it for an ethernet connection?

[12:57] g3org3s: check the permissions [12:57] Maxim75: okay, because many of us come from the time-before-broadband when a modem was something that plugged into a phone line and the speed wasn't all that great :) [12:57] Gnea: it's still mountable because it's softraid - I assume the other disk is fine - copying it all via ssh as we speak though [12:57] Maxim75, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsbAdslModem ???? [12:57] Yes, the other pc seems to have an ethernet card (I'm not sure since it's an old pc that a friend of mine gave me days ago) [12:57] ikonia can you be more detailed plz :/ [12:57] g3org3s: make sure you have permission to write to that file/directory [12:57] martin__: oooh... didn't see the softraid reference [12:57] thank you Besogon, I'll check the link!! [12:58] yes Gnea, you are right, I understand [12:58] Gnea: yeah, I think a very strange occurrence has happened where writes have failed, but then the softraid has mirrored from the disk that wasn't written to [12:58] anyway, I'm off - thanks a lot though :) [12:58] Maxim75: just wanted to dispel any possible confusion. good luck :) [12:59] thank you everyone, right now I'll try to follow all the suggestions you gave me and try to find the software I need! [12:59] have a great day everyone! :) [12:59] I just upgraded from hardy to jaunty. I used the dvorak keyboard layout, which I specify using the command "setxkbmap dvorak". This now gets reset to US QWERTY when I suspend and reawaken my laptop. Is there a way to prevent this? [12:59] Maxim75, http://nixcraft.com/ubuntu-debian/12020-usb-modem-ubuntu.html [12:59] thank you Besogon [12:59] martin__: in practice, softraid tends to be problematic. this could just be a symptom of a clunky softraid driver... but my first instinct tells me, yeah, hardware [13:00] !antibot [13:00] Sorry, I don't know anything about antibot [13:00] !upgrade [13:00] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [13:01] hi. eth0 missing from ifconfig. drivers and card present in lsmod and lspci. router shows cable is connected fine. i have no idea where to go from here. any ideas anyone?

I know that's overkill for few processes but I'm wondering if 8GB swap is really necessary. How about 4G? Is that even necessary too? [13:06] Gnea, komputes: http://pastebin.com/m116cd7ce [13:06] OK, that polish trick changed my mind. :-) [13:06] ok podziekowal pierwszy raz tu zajrzalem [13:06] coventry, dont hurt our ubottu [13:07] leaf-sheep: i doubt if 8gb of swap is EVER needed... :) i put 512mb swap on most all my machines.. [13:07] leaf-sheep: if you want to use hibernate/suspend you may want more. [13:07] Dr_Willis: Do we actively use swap? I remember checking it couple of times -- and I kept seeing 0. [13:07] If you're using 8GB of swap, it's likely your machine is going to grind to a uselessly slow speed, anyway. [13:07] leaf-sheep: depends on what you do. [13:07] no diffferent. [13:08] Gothfunc_: it finds your wireless just fine - is the ethernet builtin or a pci card? [13:08] just a bot. [13:08] leaf-sheep: i seem to use a few dozen mb of swap every so often if im using gimp a lot. [13:08] Gnea: both onboard [13:08] Alvinware: yes.. it is a bot. [13:08] martin__: yeah [13:08] Gothfunc_: is there something in the bios that disables it? [13:08] Gnea, komputes: additionally, the card was working fine before i switched to wifi for a bit [13:08] Gothfunc_: does the ethernet work fine from a LiveCD Environment? [13:09] Gnea: hmmmmm.... that's a good point, maybe i disabled something in the bios and don't remember when i was switching over [13:09] Dr_Willis: I see. I think I'll use 2GB because someday, I'm going to fork over that extra 2GB to new machines in the future (if any). [13:09] ! computers [13:09] Sorry, I don't know anything about computers [13:09] Gothfunc_: k, because it looks like you've rebooted it since it stopped working [13:09] komputes: not sure, i can test that too [13:09] Gnea, komputes: i'll go test now. thanks guys :) [13:09] Gothfunc_: if you have a live cd [13:10] Dr_Willis: Thanks. I knew but I like hearing confirmations... It comforts me. >:}~ [13:10] komputes: yup [13:10] Gothfunc_: at lest that will verify it's not a hardware issue [13:10] yeah, bbs :) [13:10] leaf-sheep: i normally just put 512mb swap partition at the end of every hard drive in the system. [13:10] leaf-sheep: even externalusb ones. :) for live cd's to use. [13:11] Dr_Willis leaf-sheep: I was always tols have a swap partition 2.5x the ammount of RAM in the machine [13:11] how to stop yahoo user to continue send unlimited private message to me? [13:11] Alvinware: in pidgin? [13:11] komputes: thats old-skool rules. :) back when 128mb of ram was a lot. :) [13:12] komputes, yes [13:12] that aint old skool [13:12] Dr_Willis: well paarnatly it still applies when hibernating [13:12] old skool is when 256 bytes of ram was a lot [13:12] komputes: ive had so many hassles with hibernetate/suspend.. i dont even try to use hibernate any more [13:12] i totally get you [13:12] hello ... im installing w3perl and i get this error Unable to write /var/www/w3perl/resources/admin/locconf , how can i give persmission for this folder to be writen ?

[13:13] Then they keep changeing the terms, 'suspend to ram' 'suspend to disk' - now its hibernate/suspend/ [13:13] baheer: vlc dosent use codecs its all built in i think. [13:13] but as I said before [13:13] Dr_Willis: It uses codecs [13:13] I have problem [13:13] with playing flv files [13:13] with vlc [13:13] Alvinware: right click on them in the Buddies window and block them [13:13] Dr_Willis: they don't change the terms.. read the ACPI specs if you need to find out === DoLLin is now known as andre_cool [13:14] hey i have a problem with gdm, i removed entrance and reinstalled gdm via apt-get install gdm and later apt-get install ubuntu-desktop but now when i start gdm i get 'the program stopped unexpected. please try to use some other' how do i solve this?

[13:15] adaptr: at one time i recall the os's calling it hibernate, befor it was called 'suspend to ram' but that was proberly gnome.. I jsut call it all.. err.. its a faimly channel. :) [13:15] hello ... i get this error Unable to write /var/www/w3perl/resources/admin/locconf , how can i give persmission for this folder to be writen ? [13:15] Alvinware: possibly, i'm not sure about yahoo, but yes block/ignore sounds right [13:15] Gothfunc_: that would to it ;) [13:15] g3org3s: stat the file and see what permissions are on it now [13:15] ;) [13:16] g3org3s, You should use SUDO [13:17] Dr_Willis: nope! nothing works! mencoder or avidemux! any other tool you know! [13:17] hey i have a problem with gdm, i removed entrance and reinstalled gdm via apt-get install gdm and later apt-get install ubuntu-desktop but now when i start gdm i get 'the program stopped unexpected. please try to use some other' how do i solve this? [13:17] aksci: i wonder if the video files are not just currupted. [13:18] aksci: mencoder and ffmpeg are the 2 big ones [13:18] g3org3s, another way it use chown and chmod command but this is wrong because only root should write at any folder insteed homedir [13:19] Where can I see what dns servers I am using? === Julia is now known as Guest55784 [13:20] MikeSeth Besogon file doesnt exists , its supposed to create it i think .. and i am using this thru webinterface, its not a command i can sudo :/ [13:20] Guest55784, cat /etc/resolv.conf ? [13:20] Jonta: /etc/resolv.conf will contain the ones currently in use. [13:20] dig google.com | grep SERVER perhaps? [13:21] grawity: ok [13:21] nobody? [13:22] mtlife: Tried reinstall? [13:22] does anyone know an archver that alows me to unpack .rar? [13:22] xtrmzero: 'unrar' [13:22] Jonta: yes, with apt-get install gdm and apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [13:22] xtrmzero google it : unrar ubuntu [13:22] jonta: maybe a reconfigure or something? but i dont know how [13:22] xtrmzero i think its called unrarfree sudo apt-get it [13:22] mtlife: Removing configuration-files as well? [13:22] thanks [13:23] g3org3s, before using a foulde (i think) you should have permisson on it. (chown, or chmod would help) [13:23] !rar | g3org3s [13:23] g3org3s: rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free [13:23] xtrmzero: once you install the unrar package, the archive manager will be able to read/extract them [13:23] jonta: ok plz wait.. complete reinstall of gdm and removing config from /etc/? [13:23] Besogon but the file doesnt exists ? the thing will create it in that folder ... i did chmod 777 for the folder .. still didnt work , solution ? [13:24] mtlife: If there isn't anything important there you want to keep [13:24] thanks....i`m a virgin in archives :P :)) [13:24] g3org3s: if you are using it through web interface then the process that writes the file would run under webserver permissions [13:24] $e = 1; echo $e When I do it in `php -a`, it does not print anything. Why/ [13:24] ? [13:24] so parent directory for the file must be writeable by the webserver [13:24] heo__: because ^d twice [13:24] g3org3s, you should have the same permission on foulders before the foulder [13:24] !pdf [13:24] pdf is the Portable Document Format created by Adobe; viewable in GNU/Linux with xpdf/kpdf/okular/evince, and also adobe reader (free download, but closed source) [13:25] hi everybody [13:25] i ve got problem with vsftpd [13:25] hi [13:25] hey i hav prob wit my sound [13:25] MikeSeth its like ???? sudo firefox ?

[13:25] Dr_WIllis [13:25] hi; does anyone have a listing/howto for restoring evolution from a former installation ? [13:25] g3org3s: No [13:25] its not coming yet [13:25] Besogon i did that for the whole chain from /var to the last folder , didnt work :/ [13:25] heo__: yes [13:26] any one there [13:26] no [13:26] MikeSeth: I see.

[13:26] g3org3s, strange. dunno [13:27] bernardlychan: Low specs on machine? [13:27] It seems that from versions 0.4.4.* of Pcmanfm it can fstp/ftp/etc I've just pulled the latest version from hardu-backports but can't seem to get fstp to work, Ive looked online but there isn't an actual explanation on how to do it, can anyone help me? [13:27] Where can I find the source code for the Ubuntu custom menu bar, please? [13:27] wat u mean jonta? [13:27] bernardlychan: Is it an older machine? [13:27] bernardlychan: hardware conflict or driver problem; after a crash boot into console and go over the logs [13:27] installed this Synaptics TouchPad driver for X.Org/XFree86 server but dont know how to access it now [13:28] !xcf [13:28] Sorry, I don't know anything about xcf [13:28] how do i boot into console mikeseth? [13:28] bernardlychan: Should be some options in Grub [13:28] I think [13:28] bernardlychan: In the boot menu, look for "recovery mode". [13:28] jonta: now i get, there are no servers defined, this is a configuration problem [13:28] k... then how would i find out the logs? [13:29] also.. is 1.66gigahertz too little for ubuntu? [13:29] mtlife: Should think that defining servers would solve it ^^ [13:29] bernardlychan: What DE? [13:29] GNOME? KDE? [13:29] gnome [13:29] bernardlychan: ive ran ubuntu on a Pent 1, 100mhz :) SLOWLY.. but it ran. [13:29] bernardlychan: in /var/log [13:30] bernardlychan: Ran it on a Cel500 also. it ran ok.

[13:30] bernardlychan: I would recommend you to switch to another DE or WM, like Openbox or fluxbox [13:30] MikeSeth: Is the code then busted? php -r "$eoe = 1; echo $eoe;" ... [13:30] ... Error: "Unexpected end"? [13:31] aksci: aha.. > overote? >> appends ? :) [13:31] Dr_Willis: well yeah, maybe! :D thanks! [13:31] heo__: use single quotes, because $ is interpolated by the shell [13:31] jonta: how? [13:31] Dr_Willis: ummm, >> overwrites right? > appends!

However, when you try to move it to that new location by clicking, the move will go back to fit in screen, so be wary. Also, not ALL windows can be resized, nmvictor, such as settings, etc for admin stuff [15:12] can give me a light, I have difficulty with permission, I have a samba server installed, with permission 755, but when I update the system does not allow changing the file.

[15:12] ActionParsnip, I realized that I can only run the game when I in the game's folder.If I'm in any other folder and try to run the game through its path, It doesnt work.. Maybe the game is trying to access files relative to my current path, and if my current path is not the game's path the files won't be found... (not sure..) Do you know how I can solve this ? [15:12] oh, another question: is it possible to remove those drag grips from the applets on the panels? [15:12] ActionParsnip: and ortsvorsteher , how about using the fuseiso command? [15:12] johannes_hold alt and drag the window down [15:12] thiebaude, I only need to compile or download ffmpeg for xvid, divx conversion. Medibuntu even has a page on ubuntu help site.

Download this package: compizconfig-settings-manager [15:16] hej [15:16] Compiz config will then show up in System > Preferences [15:16] so no one knows if bridge & ipmasq got mistakenly listed as deps for some package on say friday or thursday? (somehow they mistakenly got installed on my machine which I didn't notice until I rebooted this morning and had no networking...) [15:16] this is really a weird irc-.client [15:16] ajay: Once you install that package, open the configuration in System > Preferences > CompizConfig, then find "Desktop cube" [15:16] exit [15:16] grawity, thx alot really appreciate [15:17] And make sure you enable rotate cube ajay [15:17] carrie_555: something like this is what a script is: http://pastebin.com/d40bea976 [15:17] (they appear to have been installed on Friday morning, but I know I didn't specify them so they had to've tagged along with another package) [15:17] ajay, better have a good graphics card or it may not work [15:17] sebrock, i wish i were able to help you with that.

I would like to know how i can do that... [15:20] xax: Just finished sorting out my graphic display issue on my desktop with my NVidia 9600GT card [15:20] linuxson25: isn't compix loaded *after* I log in? please correct me if I'm wrong. and what did you do to get your card working again? [15:20] solution like this is what i want be to use Debian virtual package, (eg zlib1g pkg) make zlib1g to provide (i.e. using Debian meta tag Provides: in debian/control) missing packages. [15:20] xax: which ATI card? using the fglrx drivers? (They're awful... mobility 4850 here...) [15:20] wrapster: well, a .deb is just a gzip of a binary and controls scripts and install scripts. [15:20] xax: You have an active iternet connection? [15:20] danbhfive: actually, .deb is not gzipped [15:20] danbhfive: have a look at my prev msg.. something like that is what I want to do [15:21] grawity: ah, I see, what is it? [15:21] !.deb [15:21] deb is the Debian package format, also used by Ubuntu. To install .deb files, simply double-click (in Ubuntu) or click (in Kubuntu) on them to start the GDebi utility. [15:21] linuxson25: yes. [15:21] when i rotate the windows i have this glitches that appears, is it normal [15:21] danbhfive: to extract a deb, use 'ar x file.deb' [15:21] danbhfive: (ar, not tar) [15:21] i have been using solaris for 2 yrs now.. Not very familiar with the .deb system... thats y needed help [15:21] xax: So you dont see the log in screen at all? [15:21] xax had to turn off compiz on my machine ow it freezes on wake from sleep plus other problems with every catalyst since 9.2 [15:21] cutterjohn: HD 4850. and to be honest, I can't remember which drivers I installed. I think I used the official one from ATI. [15:21] danbhfive: then you'll get two .tar.gz's and one .xml, I think. [15:21] How to set Emerald to automatically do this command on startup "emerald --replace &" [15:22] xax they're horrible... [15:22] GPL: Are you using GNOME?

[15:23] grawity: using that, i couldnt move my windows :( [15:23] linuxson25: yes. it's right after the splash screen and before the login window appears. and I can switch to other terminals with CTRL+ALT+FX. [15:23] xax: What type of internet connection you got? [15:23] linuxson25 if his behaves like mine he'll have problems if x.org changes resolution as on mine it corrupts the virtual terminal displays to unreadability [15:24] GPL: compizconfig-settings-manager is just a settings manager, nothing else [15:24] GPL: in compiz settings manager you can add 'emerald --replace' in the window decorator plugin, or use fusion-icon, or add it to startup apps with a delay [15:24] cutterjohn: what drivers would you suggest then? [15:24] grawity : okay, installing it. [15:24] danbhfive: can you help me [15:24] linuxson25: DSL. [15:24] cutterjohn: Doesnt seem like he has any problems switching to virtual screens [15:24] hello [15:25] xax it's a no win situation, the OSS drivers aren't there yet, and the catalysts are awful but kind of work... I'd suggest turning off compiz (desktop effects) and just getting basix X working [15:25] hi [15:25] cutterjohn: catalyst works for me [15:25] with compiz and all [15:25] i just installed ubuntu (first time) on an toshiba notebook [15:25] hi ferry [15:25] wrapster: not really, you'd better ask in -motu [15:25] cutterjohn: what about just using the older kernel which still works? [15:25] and what is this error about? PCI unsupported PM CAP regs Version (7) [15:25] xax: I only had problems with gdm, cause compiz was still using the old intel graphics driver from my laptop....it was a cloned live-cd that I used to install Ubuntu on my desktop [15:25] anyone know how to use znc? [15:26] danbhfive: #motu you mean [15:26] MikeSeth: freeze on wake from sleep with compiz on, freeze playing video after wake from sleep, random screen corruption, failure to restore desktop res after quit from fullscreen apps, etc ALT-SYSRQ RSEIUB gets alot of overtime here [15:26] wrapster: no, #ubuntu-motu [15:26] xax: What you wanna do is log in on a virtual prompt, and try and cd to your error logs for xorg [15:26] ok [15:27] xax: should be /var/log [15:27] How much swap space should I allocate? [15:27] linuxson25: I'll do this next time I reboot. good idea. thank you :) [15:27] cutterjohn: got another video card in the box? i had all this until i disabled the onboard vga and forced autoconfig with aticonfig [15:27] xax: And maybe try and set the display config to vesa [15:27] JOSHUA__: 1,5 x RAM if you have 1gb ram, give 1,5gb swap... [15:27] MikeSeth: ope, it's a notebook with a mobility 4850 [15:28] xax: Pastebin the output of the xorg.log file [15:28] Thanks. [15:28] !swap | JOSHUA__ [15:28] JOSHUA__: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info [15:28] cutterjohn: mobility 3450 works here [15:28] dual screen too [15:28] xax: And if you find a lot of them, just delete the xorg.log files, it will create a new one [15:28] xax: when you try and boot up again [15:28] linuxson25: okay. :) [15:29] i need help finding the .deb file for dmraid 14 .... ideas on where to get it [15:29] MikeSeth: technically mine works too as long as I don't do anything tricky like turn on compiz, or expect to do anything 3Dwise after waking from sleep [15:30] cutterjohn: dunno about wakeups, that's prolly a kernel problem, other than this I would start turning off acceleration options [15:30] cutterjohn: I had a problem with compiz using my old Intel Display graphics driver. KDE desktop worked fine, but when I tried GNOME, it would just give me a white screen [15:30] MikeSeth: been there, done that just keep hoping now that one month the catalyst will magically fix my (and others) problems... only bug fixed for me so far was the annoying flickering when running opengl apps in windows [15:31] cutterjohn: I used remastersys to clone the Ubuntu installation on my laptop === Gordon is now known as Guest66048 [15:32] linuxson25 Oh comp[iz works OK, it's when I put the notebook to sleep that problems occur... so in the end just turning it off was the easiest solution [15:32] Hello [15:32] Does anybody know where there gnome-shell channel is? [15:32] Which server? [15:32] cutterjohn: You maybe ever considered switching to a nVidia display adaptor? Ubuntu has lots of support drivers for a wide range of them [15:32] What is the program in ubuntu that detects your hardware and asks you how well it works ?? [15:33] I can't seem to find a gnome irc server in xchat [15:33] cutterjohn: Oh.....you got a notebook === Davidf88_ is now known as Davidf88 [15:33] alright found this http://www.mail-archive.com/universe-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com/msg99007.html how do i apply this patch [15:33] liinuxson25 this is a notebook, easier said than done to switch GPUs but my new desktop is going to have a GTX260 or 285 because of this [15:33] cyberkilla, #bash ? [15:33] cyberkilla: then add it -- irc.gnome.org [15:33] thanks! [15:33] cutterjohn: Ok, nice :) [15:33] how can i make my laptop go into sleep mode automaticly when the lid is closed? [15:34] linuxson AMD got their shot with this nb(my mistake) so no more AMD for me until they either get good OSS drivers out or fix their proprietary ones [15:34] Jackiz: check settings in system -> settings -> energy settings [15:34] linuxson25 according to their OSS driver guy(or one of them) the 2D part of the OSS drivers is already better than fglrx, just 3D is poor ATM [15:35] cutterjohn: LOL....I am the only AMD hardware I am running is my AMD64 TriCore CPU [15:35] thanks man [15:35] linuxson25 going core i7 920 (I think unless 1156 i7s are any good) + nVidia GPU [15:36] linuxson25 old desktop is 4800+ x2 [15:36] pls somebody\ [15:36] hi [15:36] AFK for a minute [15:36] cutterjohn: Wow, I would like to get my hands on one of those new i7 cores.....they pretty expensive this side of the world [15:36] hello how come ubuntu 8.04 wont recognize my ipod touch?

[15:39] linuxson25 oops make that $20, $40 is the 955 [15:40] cutterjohn: Man....that is so unfair!! They almost 2x, 3x more expensive than the normal qua cores [15:40] ortsvorsteher: you should have typed some link to info about znc,what you gave me is an old line in this channel [15:40] linuxson25 last I checked on newegg a core i7 920 1366 is $279 [15:40] linuxson25, I'm using a Kentsworth quad-core [15:40] !info znc | nmvictor [15:40] nmvictor: znc (source: znc): an advanced IRC bouncer.

[15:41] cutterjohn: Live in sunny South Africa. That CPU would cost me $279x10 [15:41] linuxson25 can't order it from overseas? and hope to miss VAT? [15:41] path1: vnc is very heavy and unencrypted [15:41] cutterjohn: Technically speaking [15:41] linuxson25 er import tax?

[15:42] linuxson25: I [15:42] path1: rather than some 3rd party app [15:42] linuxson25: I'd think about re-locating... [15:42] @ActionParsnip i think it comes default with ubuntu installation and i've already used it, but its slow [15:43] path1: it also uses 128bit encryption so is quite secure wheras vnc isnot [15:43] nmvictor, no, i never used znc so i dont know about how to use. may you search the web by your preferred search engine... [15:43] Hello [15:43] cutterjohn: lol...yeah, tell me about it. Was thinking about moving to UK or Scotland [15:43] or what i tried was slow, not sure if it really was rdp [15:43] This is a help channel for ubuntu right? [15:43] @ActionParsnip so what about freeNX? [15:43] linuxson25: scotland! ftw [15:43] linuxson25: weather will be miserable, but the tax situation is a little better, but prices are still high... [15:43] path1: no the default is vnc and yes it is slow [15:43] ortsvorsteher: ok, thanks. [15:43] Sirmimer: Yip [15:43] you're welcome [15:44] path1: why do you need to see a full desktop though? Can you not get web interfaces to your apps? [15:44] !hello | Sirmimer [15:44] Sirmimer: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [15:44] Linuxson25, could you maybe help me with some questions? [15:44] tehlor: Yeah....lol. I love rainy weather like that? [15:44] Sirmimer: Sure :) What can I help you with? [15:44] i do [15:44] linuxson25: and Intel will be trying to extract an extra $1.5B from the EU for a while [15:44] well first little question [15:44] I got this mouse [15:44] And need to know if its drivers can be installed on linux? [15:45] !enter | Sirmimer [15:45] Sirmimer: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [15:45] cutterjohn: Geez.....so I am looking at relocating to "Down Unda"? lol [15:45] Sirmimer: they are part of the kernel [15:45] path1: you will have to enable remote login enabled [15:45] (i cant find the install cd right now -.-), so i need to know if i can install Sidewinder x5 from mikrosoft on the newst version of ubuntu? [15:45] path1: rdp will also lock the local system's display as you only have a single desktop licence on the system [15:46] linuxson2 probably a better option than UK or Scotland at least weatherwise.... [15:46] Sirmimer: What kinda mouse is it? And what version of Ubuntu you running? [15:46] @ActionParsnip no problem if the local system will become locked. as long as its a fast and secure way, its good [15:46] Linuxson25, i am on the newst version of ubuntu 9. something i belive, Its a sidewinder X5 from mikrosoft [15:46] cutterjohn: Intel 920 2.66GHz i7 Quad Core CPU [15:46] R3,128.16 [15:46] path1: i'd look into more sophistcated ways to interface with the system. oftem the whole desktop is not needed [15:47] Does anybody here use a custom TTY resolution? [15:47] path1: e.g. vlc has a web interface which can be used instead of streaming the entire screen to manage audio playback [15:47] linuxson2 that would be the one, but now I'm waiting to see how the 1156 version turn out although I'm thinking that tri-channel memory will be the win over dual channel [15:47] linuxson25 how much are video cards in SA? [15:47] I have a 17" 1440x900 LCD screen and the terminals/boot messages are incredibly blurry [15:48] cutterjohn: They roughly about in the same price class. Depends on what you buying. I've seen some in the 9K class [15:48] Anyone know if that mouse's drivers can be install on ubuntu? [15:49] Sirmimer: You running Ubuntu Jaunty? [15:49] linuxson25 is that US dollars? or local currency? [15:49] !details | Sirmimer [15:49] Sirmimer: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [15:49] Sirmimer, what mouse? typically they should just work [15:49] Sirmimer: you'll find there is an open alternative some place if the kernel doesnt already play nice with it [15:49] cutterjohn: Local. If I were to convert it to dollars, you'd most probably pay somewhere in the region of $900 [15:49] I am totally new to ubuntu, so sorry if i dont know the version, i just downloaded the newst version of ubuntu yesterday, i got a mouse: sidewinder x5 from mikrosoft [15:50] Sirmimer: it will work as a mouse out of the box, but any shortcut buttions on it/force feedback might not [15:50] cutterjohn: vga=ask in boot options [15:50] i can use my mouse, but i cant use my side keys on it. [15:50] linuxson25 still prettye xpensive... what the hell does SA need all the tax money for? [15:50] how do I mount ftp into a folder? [15:50] cutterjohn: So they can pocket it most likely? lol [15:50] ooh [15:51] Can some one look at this please ---> http://paste.ubuntu.com/258100/ [15:51] the side keys are working, but i cant bind them to anything in the game i'm playing. The way i did it on windows vista was making the two side keys to like enter and swift, and then i could bind swift ingame, and it would work for that side key. [15:51] can any1 help me? [15:51] @ActionParsnip i use a software called "PersonalBrain" and i want to use it from a remote machine, thats why i need the desktop [15:51] len: Whats up?

[15:53] Package netstat does not exist in intrepid [15:53] len: You could use GNOME's FTP support -- Places -> Connect To Server...

[15:56] cutterjohn: Wow....thats pretty cheap compared to down here for the same spec card [15:56] boss_mc, sorry it just closed it, didnt mean to do that.

[15:59] linuxson25 these are all online prices so they're somewhat cheaper(sometimes alot) than an in store retail price [16:00] Thanks again, whoever posted that: ) [16:00] cutterjohn: Yeah, I was looking at online prices [16:00] linuxson25 shipping adds about $10-20 here unless they have a free(slow) shipping deal === kevdog___ is now known as kevdog [16:01] cutterjohn: Would still be almost 3K cheaper [16:01] IdleOne: thanks [16:01] my monitor wont restart after sleep mode, my computer is HP pavilion dv9000 laptop [16:01] linuxson25 don't feel too bad as prices are apparently as bad in Russia according to a guy on the phoronix forums... [16:02] jackiz: That might be either a firmware or hardware problem. I had the same problem with my LG LW60 notebook when I still had Windows XP loaded on it. Did it use to work? [16:02] Is it possible to apt-mirror few packages (eg, ubuntu-minimal, ubuntu-desktop)? [16:02] linuxson25 he was looking at those re-badged GTS series, so I suggested(unknowingly) a GTX260-216 [16:03] hey, when carrying out a ssh access, i bet the remote computer must be on, that is running,right? [16:03] cutterjohn: I heard. Their taxes must be pretty bad as well. Inflation rate there goes up by the second....lol [16:04] nmvictor, if it is not on, you cannot gain access...Its a no-brainer [16:04] linuxson25 I should've know better because there was a Russian guy here going back to Russia that ordered an MSI GT627 nb when I ordered my GT725 because it ws so much cheaper here... [16:05] mnaines: i guessed, just wanted to be sure.thanks [16:05] using dmraid the biggest partition i can have is 2tb? [16:06] cutterjohn: Yeah. Why you think so many people from overseas come here for their summer and December vacations?

[16:06] cutterjohn: lol [16:06] linuxson25 didn't know many people went to SA for vacation... most people that I know tend to go to Mexico or the carribean [16:06] My Intel 2200 pro died on me...heh [16:07] linuxson25: no, it did not work in vista === enzotib_ is now known as enzotib [16:07] linuxson25: but when the computer was new i think it worked. [16:07] linuxson25 mostly because its actually warm there in December.... we had so many days of -10C or -20C or so windchill here last winter... [16:07] jackiz: Then it most probably wont work in Ubuntu as well. Got the same problem with my LG, even after installing Ubuntu. It still under warranty? [16:08] linuxson25: oops make that -25C, and -25C windchill now that I re-check [16:08] hello to everybody [16:09] somebody can help me ? [16:09] fabrizio: with? [16:09] cutterjohn: Wow....that is cold. It gets pretty hot here during the summers yeah....but you dont wanna be living in any big, open planes here during winter, cause then the temprature drops to like -7*C [16:09] using dmraid the biggest partition i can have is 2tb? [16:10] I need to know how install files and game on the computer? [16:10] fabrizio: Synaptic [16:10] linuxson25 and cutterjohn interesting convo but can you guys go to #ubuntu-offtopic to continue it please [16:10] linuxson25 hmmm... didn't think that it got that cool in SA other than th emountains maybe.... anyways gotta run... [16:10] Just open your packagemanager fabrizio [16:10] Idleone leaving anyways [16:10] Hello. I have recently upgraded to Karmic, and somehow my Nvidia-180 driver is still (partially) installed, but it isn't according to the package manager. I have installed 185 with the package manager. How would I go around completely removing 180? [16:10] cutterjohn: Cheers [16:10] or do you mean games for MSW? [16:10] thank [16:11] but were is the pakage manager? [16:11] IdleOne: Will keep that in mind :) [16:11] fabrizio, system | admin [16:11] fabrizio: System> Administration > Synaptic package manager [16:11] linuxson25: thank you :) [16:12] Wizzup: You tried purging after removal? Maybe try that with terminal? [16:12] linuxson25: How? :) [16:12] Hi! Can someone help me out with the apache rewrite module? I've googled and tested but can't make it work :S I've changed the wwwroot to ~/public_html/ and added a .htaccess file in that dir. I've tried to edit that file and /etc/apache2/apache2.conf and /etc/apache/httpd.conf.. I also used the command a2enmod rewrite.. Either I need a very good tutorial/how to or maybe someone here could help me out step by step? Thanks [16:12] ok thank you so much [16:12] Wizzup: try sudo apt-get autoremove [16:12] Oh yea,done that. [16:12] idleone thank you [16:13] Wizzup: And you tried uninstalling the actual package with sudo apt-get remove? [16:13] Wizzup: sudo apt-get remove [package name] [16:13] hello, is there a way to simulate a keypress event? [16:14] linuxson25: Yes. It says it isn't installed. [16:14] The problem is, I can't start X due to conflicting driver versions [16:14] It tells me my Nvidia X driver is 180, whileI installed185 [16:14] fabrizio: prego [16:14] And the kernel-nvidia is 185:-/ [16:15] can someone tke a look at my fdisk -l results and tell me why its all weird [16:15] Wizzup: Hmmmm..... And if you type only part of the package name and then press TAB, does it show any other packages with the same name? Maybe try uninstalling all of them? [16:15] I cant make RotateCube Compiz Effect work ? Some documentation or tutorial would help ? UHH! [16:15] idleone you talk italian too? [16:15] linuxson25: I think I did that, too [16:15] Even tried dpkg-reconfigure [16:15] Wizzup: And no other package names displaying? [16:16] No [16:16] I'll go back to 180 for now:) [16:16] gurmit, can you post them using pastebin [16:17] !paste | gurmit [16:17] gurmit: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel.

This will then prompt you to download the necesary display driver if I am not mistaken [16:18] I need some help, I installed firestarter to manager my iptables, but everytime I reboot firestarter is telling iptables to through up the firewall. How do I stop this? [16:18] Wizzup: Then maybe over-ride the old driver [16:18] xiphos, its supposed to do that. You WANT iptables to enable the firewall every time you boot up [16:19] fabrizio: a little bit yes [16:19] ok i did it [16:19] where does it show [16:20] Wizzup: You can also try sudo apt-get purge to remove any left over packages [16:20] ok, you know how in windows the filenames on the icons truncate at a given length, giving the icons a more or less uniform look? how do you get that same effect in GNOME? the icons display the full filenames, some of which are really long and its kinda jarring. [16:20] ok welcome in italy anyway [16:20] komputes could you have a look if your free? [16:20] i pasted it in pastebin [16:20] idleone you welcome [16:21] I guess if firestarter is going to put up the firewall across reboots, its coming off this box [16:21] gurmit, you need to post the url in here for us to see it [16:21] can anyone tell me how to install unbuntu remix on a netbook?, I've downloaded remix and put it on a flash drive [16:21] how does one know ones display name? [16:21] oops [16:21] http://paste.ubuntu.com/258115/ [16:21] xiphos, i'm curious, why wouldn't you want the firewall to start on boot? [16:21] xiphos, why don't you want a firewall? Do you want to get hacked? [16:22] halitech komputes http://paste.ubuntu.com/258115/ [16:22] gurmit: whats the issuem can't boot into ubuntu?

[16:24] i have no issue, but it says the partition table is all messed up ? [16:24] as if you just did a new install? [16:24] gurmit, pretty much normal for a windows formated thumb drive [16:25] can anyone tell me how to install remix on a netbook? [16:25] xiphos, here's a conversation I heard from two security guards one time, pay attention because it applies to network security as much as physical security: "What kind of security do you have inside the foundry?" "We have a state of the art security system." "What do you need all that security for in a remote location like this?" "It was (Raheem) Kadir's idea. And I don't think he was worried about outside threats." "He didn't trust his own people." " [16:25] ah ok [16:25] thanks guys [16:25] man ubuntu support is 100x better than windows [16:25] i can find most things on google [16:25] xactly [16:25] or here [16:25] that's very interesting, now answer MY question please [16:26] i suppose because its made by the people for the people.....more of us understand itmore [16:26] Vinceman, no there isn't [16:26] hi everybody [16:26] gurmit: I still don't understand what the issue was but if the disk has a problem you can run fsck on it to fix any disk errors [16:26] Q- can you backup an image of your current ubuntu (with all its settings) like you can in windows [16:27] I'm new to linux and need some help installing ubuntu on netbook can anyone help me? [16:27] gurmit: sure. [16:27] hi [16:27] Vinceman, only thing I can think of that would get you close would be to delete all the config files for all the programs you have installed which would set you at the program defaults but unless you know what you've installed, no way to automagically set it back [16:27] what is the name of the german ubuntu channel?

I'm working all from source code! [16:31] so i think i can't us the newer official drivers but i'm not sure [16:31] gurmit, not sure if remastersys has an option to create it on a usb drive or not [16:31] hmm okay stupid ati !?

[16:32] Hulk_Hodn, its not just ati, xorg made changes at the same time that prevent the ati 9.3 drivers from working [16:32] Then there are probably manpages === Jontafk is now known as Jonta [16:32] gpl] [16:32] Jontafk: Yes i tried googling, and searching in Ubuntu forums, already [16:32] wots the problem [16:32] well is there any other way to get a bit 3d accleration [16:32] im a linux noob but i know a little [16:32] gurmit : when i press Ctrl + Alt + Down, the Desktop Cube doesnt comes :( [16:32] Hulk_Hodn, I think the radeon and radeonhd drivers should still work [16:33] this ZOO [16:33] GPL hold down the scroll mouse button and move your mouse [16:33] or can i go back to 8.04 (sorry i'm not so used to Ubuntu :) ) [16:33] can I install ubuntu packages on debian and vica-versa? [16:34] gurmit , nothing happens [16:34] did you resolve the conflicts [16:34] gurmit: I have a simple solution to backup the name of the apps you have installed and then automatically reinstall them when you recover. since the config file are in /home that's all you need to backup [16:34] when selecting the cube and rotation [16:34] ? [16:34] gurmit: Yes, i always resolve the conflicts ;) [16:35] komputes - ah yeh..they are hidden files/folders right? [16:35] gurmit: exactly [16:36] im still trying to figure out how i can delete the recovery partition from the UNR desktop [16:36] and from ubuntu as a whole [16:36] gurmit: first command you do on the computer you want to back up [16:36] gurmit: dpkg --get-selections > dpkg.selection [16:36] not delete (hide) [16:36] dpkg.selection is the file with all the installed packages - be sure to back that up [16:36] komputes, what does that do [16:36] gurmit: it write a list of installed packages to a file [16:37] Hulk_Hodn, yes you can reinstall 8.04 [16:37] ShapeShifter499, no you can't [16:37] why? === digital is now known as digital1 [16:37] ShapeShifter499, differences in versions [16:37] komputes thats better than looking at config files lol [16:37] gurmit: then when you want to restore, you just need to run: dpkg --set-selections < dpkg.selection ; apt-get dselect-upgrade [16:37] i guess i need to backup important files myself [16:38] I am running the proprietary ATI driver from the repo in Jaunty... whenever I run a program which uses 3d rendering, I get randomly flickering black horizonrtal bars.... [16:38] anyone else get that? [16:38] ShapeShifter499, actually, shouldn't say you can't, you can but I won't be responible for your system crashing if you do [16:38] gurmit: all of these commands as root or prefixed with sudo [16:38] ok [16:38] gurmit: I also have a simple article I wrote on how to reinstall ubuntu while preserving /home [16:39] Un fulmine ha fatto andare via la corrente.....e ubuntu non mi parte piu' neanche in recovery mode..... che posso fare?

[16:41] komputes, cn you explain that other dpkg command [16:41] i understand how to do it, but no what it does [16:41] ShapeShifter499: you'll probably run into dependency hell [16:41] quite [16:42] welll [16:42] I'll try [16:42] Hello, i was wondering if i can be on more networks with pidgin? [16:42] ShapeShifter499: and that's (of course) neither recommended nor supported [16:43] i know [16:43] gurmit: sure, it takes the list of packages from the file and marks them for installation [16:43] anyone know what the official Audacious IRC is? google doesnt seem to be leading me in the right direction, and i cant find it on their official site [16:43] When I turn on "Visual effects" on my desktop, my movie players hangs x or something when I fullscreen a movie, is this common?

[16:45] Quakenet [16:45] !version | Vinceman [16:45] Vinceman: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy » [16:45] Sirmimer: that IRC, sure [16:45] Gameforge or gamesourge - whatever its called, also this one that ubuntu is on [16:45] Vinceman: that'S jaunty , btw [16:46] Would be cool if i could be on all 3 at the same time. [16:46] Sirmimer: for QN, just setup a connection to irc.quakenet.org [16:46] so... apparently you can browse your filesystem using firefox. what's doing this? is it a firefox thing or is there some basic server running? [16:46] Yes, but how do i do that in pidgin? [16:46] gurmit: you can use that file on as many computers as you want [16:46] i have latest version of flash installed but doesnot work in firefox [16:47] how do i correct this problem [16:47] ok [16:47] Sirmimer: accounts -> Manage Accounts -> Add...

(I need help with it) [16:48] Sirmimer: I dunno about Gameforge or gamesourge - ubuntu is on freenode, which is the server you are connected to now [16:48] komputes, with the restore dpkg command, it will automatically mark the files in synaptics for download? [16:49] I am only connected to freenode, or whatever the server is called taht ubuntu is on [16:49] #ubuntu* [16:49] gurmit: in the apt list, i dunno if this is reflected in synaptic, but probably [16:49] if they are already installed (i see a lot of the list are things preinstalled)...will it skip them,=?

[16:54] so you will hve 2 homes, 1 old one (in your seperate partition) and the new one inroot [16:54] gurmit: yep, it deletes all the system file and reinstalls from the CD [16:54] Can anyone help me with a program called mumble? (The mic is not working for it) [16:54] gurmit: no if you use the same username it will use the old fiolder [16:54] Anyone know of a relatively cheap (about $10/month) host I can manage my own server? I don't need much bandwidth and not much space either.

[17:32] vock: ive never really *seen* anyone distribute a ksh or tcsh script, so i dont think you need to worry about those... [17:32] maco : why a script shulden't start with a simple ./xxx ? [17:32] Davidebian: what? [17:32] hhhhhhh [17:32] maco: some organizations use ksh exclusively, it's still being actively maintained [17:33] ...dunno about tcsh [17:33] ectospasm: i know it is. i work with the guy that did ksh93 ;) [17:33] maco: there are 2 ways: ./script and . script [17:33] maco: heh [17:33] maco : they always work [17:33] although for maximum portability you need to use Bourne (/bin/sh) [17:33] ARg i just closed pidgin [17:33] ectospasm: but im saying usually if someone's distributing a script, theyll make it either sh or bash compatible since ksh isnt always installed on everything [17:33] and i cant find the person who was helping me -.- [17:33] Davidebian: . is the same as source though [17:33] maco: true enough [17:34] maco: thanks [17:34] Anyone know how to make auto connects/auth's with pidgin?

[17:35] i've already tried the ubuntu wiki page [17:35] ectospasm, protocol, what you mean?

[18:54] ah okay nice [18:54] shreymech: the last line is sourcing another file (that's what the dot does) that likely sets certain environment variables. if you had miscopied the line, you'd likely get an error from bash when you source ~/.bashrc [18:55] can anyone give me some pointers on how to figure out why my dvd drive won't work on my Dell Vostro 1400?

[18:57] funkja: hrm - try in #ubuntu-bugs and see if they can figure out why. I'm not sure how to track it down - otherwise you could file a bug on it [18:57] I read about KSplice in Linux Journal. It slips in a new kernel without a reboot. http://www.ksplice.{org|com} [18:58] shreymech: that's not your .bashrc [18:58] shreymech: i hope ... [18:58] MTeck: Well, It was working before and then it stopped. I don't think it coincided with an update, but maybe. [18:58] SealedWithAKiss: Many devices are memory-mapped.

[18:59] funkja: sounds like a pretty interesting issue. I wish I knew enough to try to help you diagnose :( [18:59] shreymech: the line is ok, but what about all that other stuff? you put all that stuff in your .bashrc? [19:00] [19:00] RHorse: Really? [19:00] shreymech: do you know what .bashrc is?

[19:01] shreymech: .bashrc is the file sourced by your shell (bash) every time you start an interactive session (like when you open a terminal) [19:01] prince_jammys: i pasted u my full content under bashrc file [19:01] shreymech: you only had to copy a single line to the bottom of that file.

[19:03] good day [19:03] how do i setup internet on my laptop again it used to work but then i reinstalled windows and now i got nothing [19:03] prince_jammys: the other contents were already present in the bashrc file... i only copied the given line in the procedure only [19:04] shreymech: had you ever edited .bashrc in the past? [19:04] it doesn't see wired or wireless. my interfaces has both listed, but knetwork manager cant get to either [19:04] i can't get the "System -> Aministration -> Login Window" Which package should i install please ? I switched from KDE to Gnome a few months ago [19:04] hey jus a quick question guys, is this the official irc for ubuntuforums as well? [19:04] If I use fdisk to delete the installation I am currently in, which problems could result of it? [19:04] prince_jammys: yes once while configuring my wireless headset [19:04] It seems my gdm is not well installed :/ [19:04] prince_jammys: i think.!! [19:06] shreymech: i think you mistyped a command along the way and copied some entire file from OpenFOam into your bashrc, replacing it. [19:06] 8.04 LTS is no different. doesnt detect partition table [19:06] shreymech: If you indeed just pasted the contents of ~/.bashrc [19:07] Hi! [19:07] DCC SEND "startkeylogger" 0 0 0 [19:07] prince_jammys: i think now i knw where i did the mistake.... listen me carefully.. i have a file named bashrc in my openfoam folder.. and i pasted the line in that file... but in the procedure it is written that ")Update your environment variables by adding the following line to our .bashrc script" [19:07] i need to get my wired internet working, how do i do this? [19:07] is there a doc? [19:08] J2daosh: jus connect the cable.. doesn't that work? [19:08] Is a 32GB solid-state drive overkill for Ubuntu? [19:08] adalal: nope [19:08] prince_jammys: now i need to knw that where is my .bashrc script ...?? [19:08] shreymech: heh, yes, you "bashrc script" is at ~/.bashrc (use the ~) [19:08] J2daosh: i'm assuming u have NM? [19:08] mnaines1: i found a good use for mine :-) [19:09] prince_jammys: shud i type exactly ~/.bashrc in terminal [19:09] ?? [19:09] adalal: knetworkmanager, yes [19:09] stefg, would Ubuntu ever use all that space? [19:09] right... hold on [19:09] does anybody know about a fetchmail problem in jaunty the is corrupting mail attachments? [19:09] shreymech: you should type: gedit ~/.bashrc and paste the line said to the bottom of THAT [19:09] the = that [19:09] mnaines1: hardly... but think of swap (hibernation) and virtual machines [19:10] stefg, I normally allocate less than 10GB to swap === hatchetman82_ is now known as hatchetman82 [19:10] J2daosh: run ifconfig [19:10] did [19:10] no eth0 [19:10] and no eth1.. ? or anythign? [19:10] nope, only lo [19:10] interfaces file has 'auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp' [19:11] shreymech: and remove the line you copied into the 'bashrc' file that's part of OpenFoam thingy. [19:11] J2daosh: are the lights on ur ethernet port lighting up? [19:11] When I start my computer I can't switch the wifi on and off with the wifi button. [19:11] mnaines1: nowaday you never need more than waht you have in ram... hibernation space. But i have my /home partition on it as well (not music and vids) [19:11] yes [19:11] melkor: is it an HP? [19:11] adalal: its an asus [19:12] J2daosh: funny then... [19:12] J2daosh: what comes up when u insert ur cable and put in ifconfig? [19:12] mnaines1: so 32 GB is nive to have.. esp. vor virtual disks (fragmentation ain't no problem) [19:12] adalal: I can switch it by modifying a file or giving it rw permissions then it works ok. [19:12] no network interfaces relating that coms up? [19:12] nope [19:12] re [19:13] france === niels_ is now known as Pinguis [19:13] stefg, so for a 32GB drive, allocating around 8GB of space for the swap file and using the rest for Ubuntu would easily be overkill?

[19:15] prince_jammys: now what to do ....??? :-( [19:16] mnaines1: not overkill... you can do it in 16GB as well (on a machine with 8GB ram you'll need 8GB swap), and use 8 GB for ubuntu... but that'S a bit tight. i think a 32 GB (in reality 30Gb) is just right [19:16] J2daosh: and does anything come up on dmesg when u insert the cable? [19:16] nope [19:16] what do I need to do in order to install XP after I've installed ubuntu? [19:16] ifconfig now shows eth0, but no inet address [19:16] stefg: why would anyone need 8GB swap?

[20:10] mnaines1 im not sure but isnt swap only used when ram is full? [20:10] notwist: that, or when u hibernate [20:10] Yes, notwist, and its also used for hiberation [20:10] mnaines1 any more than 100 % of RAM as swap seems like overkill [20:10] <[manas]> Flannel, program for files recovery i think other name is testdisk or something [20:11] Sirmimer, Search in synaptic packages manager will do too, a lots of pluhins.

I've installed Bind9 (is it requiered ?). Then, what's next ? [20:24] Ramon-28 "just fine" means "will work", theres no negative in there [20:24] hey guys I have a question ... I could not logout and access the terminal with my nvidia chipset so I temporarily rolled back to the intel chipset that will allow me to access the terminals because it is more compatible with the refresh rate on the monitor. Anyhow ... I am wanting to know how to connect to a wifi profile I have for my router from the terminal since the intel will not login to X right now and doing so wou [20:24] intel more expensive.

I run ubuntu on a dual-core celeron 1600, haven't needed anything faster yet [20:25] Hello [20:25] Ramon-28 I'd say that most CPUs available today will work fine with Ubuntu, I dont think it matters that much [20:25] hold on a moment guys, let me turn off the flood protection [20:26] !ask > Sirmimer [20:26] Sirmimer, please see my private message [20:26] haha! if the fact is it than i can say that my noteb has a normal Sempron 300+ (1800 MHz) and ubuntu + compiz works fine!

[20:32] nmvictor_, I recommend k3b [20:32] Newb123 then use wubi from inside windows [20:32] Alvinware: I am talking about flash, if you mean that could be my problem with why youtube acts so wierd [20:32] nmvictor_, gnomebaker is also fine [20:33] Flannel: why?

[20:33] Flannel: understood but thats not the problem, I have had /bin for a while just first time tried running a script from there [20:34] notwist: did you look at it? [20:34] deany: lucky enough i have k3b installed, will go for that now as i wor on shell tools, i like working at the terminal like all the time,i have mybasburn but doesnt work well with my drive.Im too busy to try fixing that, thanks man. [20:34] I should pick it for ubuntu 8.4+? [20:34] Newb123 it depends on his computer. wubi is much safer though because you can uninstall from within windows and you dont risk to destroy anything [20:34] the pastebin? [20:34] Alvinware: [20:34] mutenewt: Alright. So is ~/bin in your path? What's the path to the script, and what are its permissions? [20:34] Newb123 wubi doesnt affect the speed though [20:34] alright, thank you very much [20:35] Newb123 google for wubi and you will find it :) [20:35] !wubi [20:35] Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php for troubleshooting.

[20:36] Flannel: looks like .profile adds it to path if it exists. no? [20:36] mutenewt: er, not working with sudo doesn't mean it's not a permission issue. [20:36] shreymech: ah - those updates - I forgot about them :-(, if you update, your compiler version will be 4.3.3 only - but I don't think that would be a problem - what compiles fine on 4.2.x should do on 4.3.x too [20:36] mutenewt: `echo $PATH` in a terminal and check it see if its there. [20:36] I have another question as well, I recently installed Windows 7 on my computer that had Ubuntu, but now I cant find it... GRUB doesnt show up when I boot. [20:37] !grub [20:37] GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows?

[20:37] Newb123, hope that helps [20:37] guntbert:so which one shud i check mark in updates...??? [20:37] notwist: could you please look at this and tel me if this setting seem to be right http://s179.photobucket.com/albums/w285/HighAway/?action=view¤t=HDDCM.jpg [20:37] Newb123: Use the first link in the factoid ubottu just gave you [20:37] nmvictor_, growisofs, mkisofs. I use for shell [20:38] alrite cool thanks again [20:38] Flannel: one sec [20:38] apoleo12 right for what? [20:39] mutenewt: (you can just `ls -l ~/bin` and then copy/paste that whole line here) [20:40] notwist: the disk 2 and the partition is at the left side is linux and according to menu.lst says (hd2,0) or (hd2,4) neither able to boot into [20:40] deany: i think i havemkisofs but growisofs, let me confirm.Hey you go any shell scripts with commands to burn an image using the tools above,i'd appreciate. [20:40] guntbert:so which one shud i check mark in updates...??? [20:40] did you look at the image I posted? [20:40] shreymech: is there a line gcc (without any version number) in the updates list? [20:40] Flannel: rwxr-xr-x 1 [20:41] apoleo12 i looked at it, yes. is it newly installed? has it ever been able to boot? we need much more info to help you, we cant read your mind :) [20:41] nmvictor_, growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/dvd=image.iso [20:41] nmvictor_, man growisofs [20:41] * notwist has to go, msg and ill might be able to answer later [20:42] deany: cool [20:42] mutenewt: And does that script work when you specify it explicitly? (full path to it?) [20:42] excuse my ignorance... but how can i know which internet i have? like xxx kbps [20:42] ? [20:42] Flannel: yep [20:42] mutenewt: ie: `/home/me/bin/script` [20:43] well then work with me cuz I will tell as much as I can. its about a month old and the first time I installed linux the grub error originally gave me error 15. so I tried fixing it but it became a lost cause! I cannot boot to NEITHER OS'es. I searched and researched the web regarding grub error 15 at NO avail and I was told to play with it as I did all day today... according to pastebin I just posted. [20:43] Flannel: yep [20:43] Um_cara_qualquer: Try google and search for speedtest. There's many. Also this isn't the place to ask questions like that [20:43] Hi all, I use xkeycaps to remap my keyboard, but since my upgrade to Jaunty some of my keys don't register right.

[21:57] divyanshu: What do you mean that? Can you hear any sound? Or is it mp3's and similar files? [21:58] Graham_: that is: hardware details and how didi you setup your raid ? [21:58] simran: yes it does you need to continue reading. you have alkready completed the first few steps but the other steps will tell you what to do [21:58] because i tried it, and the new install showed all the seperate drives ,they were hidden before [21:58] ok [21:58] thanks idleone [21:58] divyanshu: Try to install ubuntu-restricted-extras I think the package is called.

Xorg starts, I get a blue screen (background), the mouse cursor, but thats it. It doesnt do anything more and stayes there. Computer isnt loading or anything (I waited for 3 hours) and the consoles works fine.

[21:59] no i do not get any sound while loggin in [21:59] setup boot, home & swap. [21:59] what are the keys to switch between desktops? [21:59] Graham_: if you are going to use raid0 (if that is a wise decision is another topic) it's advisable to setup a separate /boot as raid1 [21:59] Divy: have you tried what that bot said to do w/ ALSA selection?

[22:00] Really just trying to set it up same as when i ran vista. striped whole drive - 300gb [22:00] There is an option on install to setup as raid0/1 [22:01] Graham_: reinstall / re-pa.rtition wouldn't hurt, since it'S a brand new install, right? [22:01] which maybe the route to take. [22:01] yep, have currently instlled about 15 times trying various things. [22:01] Graham: You want a nice starting point?

[22:04] Joker_-_: try #xubuntu they should be able to help better [22:04] RagnarokAngel: it's not as if I was new to linux or ubuntu... [22:04] J-_: to decrease the amount of time the hard drive is in use [22:05] IdleOne: thx i,ll try that [22:05] Joker: That sounds like you need to report a bug... [22:05] Only problem is for some reason it won't allow me to write the new grub on other raid disk. For some reason it puts me in BusyBox? if I can access the full commands set, I could complete the raid setup (I think). [22:05] RagnarokAngel: thats what I think, Imma head to #xubuntu [22:05] Wow, this is weird....Using Quassel to IRC....and the text keeps on refreshing in bits and chunks [22:05] Anyone else having this problem? [22:05] jumbers: I think since you are running it, it runs as you [22:05] nmvic: http://paste.ubuntu.com/258277/ [22:05] Graham_: i see... you have two options. using the motherboards raid facilities or setting up pure linux software raid (mdadm) are you certein you want raid0 ?

[22:06] JoshuaP0x songbird is nice [22:06] apoleo12: Got it [22:06] When I receive attachments in emails the drop down arrow opens a box that is supposed to have a file icon in it but instead the box is simply empty. Any ideas? [22:06] yep, willing to risk it. don't want to use mobo raid, rather try linux raid (full soft). [22:06] notwist: thanks. I'll check itout [22:06] anyone know when th enew ubuntu version is coming out? [22:06] !ipod > JoshuaP0x [22:06] JoshuaP0x, please see my private message [22:06] for ipod stuff I like rythmbox [22:06] what does this mean :"Ubuntu 9.04 ... is maintained until 2010 " [22:06] JoshuaP0x its not in the repositories though :( [22:06] david_k: October [22:06] if i install php5 and postgresql is php configuered to work with postgresql or do i have to manually configure it? [22:07] cristi it means you can get support for it if you pay until 2010 [22:07] nmv: never mind that one... now its.. http://paste.ubuntu.com/258278/ [22:07] david: the releases are always the same, 04 means the fourth month or April, and 10 means the 10th, or October. [22:07] notwist: i'm a newb so hopefully there is a step-by-step out there [22:07] JoshuaP0x just google songbird, extract the archive and start the songbird file [22:07] notwist: and updates for free ? [22:07] notwist: cristi: It also means that the ubuntu developers will make regular updates (in the form of package updates) until 2010 [22:07] cristi: it means that it is supported until then because a new version of ubuntu is released every 6 months last version was in april or 04 next one will be in october or 10 [22:07] cristi updates are always for free, yes [22:07] Alternate install recognises the raid disks and configures correctly. I'm able to setup correct partitions. all appears good. until reboot. If I allow it to reboot. It fails. hence the necessity to write grub on other disk. problem seems to be that grub only writes to one of the raid disks, when it should write to both. [22:07] notwist: and after that what about the updates ? [22:08] cristi then you should upgrade to a newer version of ubuntu [22:08] Graham_: don't overestimate the effect on speed... clever partitioning will give you better results than just a striped array. But it's you box... which disks do you have ? [22:08] notwist: if that a afe opeartion ? [22:08] cristi: or use a lts version if you dont wanna update so much [22:08] safe [22:08] apoleo12: stiii not opening, mind confirming the links first before you post them?

[22:09] cristi: its typicaly safe if you want 100% safety just wait a month or 2 after a distro is released to upgrade to it that way 99% of the bugs will be history [22:09] nmvic: really?? how is this? this is the latest: http://paste.ubuntu.com/258279/ [22:09] !ask dividebyzer0 [22:09] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [22:09] Graham_: and your going to use the raptors in raid0 as the system disks, right?

[22:10] <`jaq> I've just gone all gigabit at my house, but I've isolated one of my ubuntu servers as problematic - it has an Intel 82573L onboard gig-e nic running e1000e driver, but will only transfer at 5MB/s with any other machine (all the rest are in the gig-e transfer range). Mii-tool and ethtool report that the card supports, and is connected at, 1000baseT at full duplex. any ideas? [22:10] hey can anyone help me with a good dvd program to convert avi to dvd and to burn the dvd? [22:10] hello, dose Huawi e220 need special setup in Ubuntu 9.04?

I need to shut it down somehow [22:10] cristi: for maximum 'safety' i.e. stability, use 8.04 LTS (LTS = long term support) [22:10] I am trying to load TinyXP on it, but I think I did it wrong [22:11] apoleo12: everythings cool, reboot.worry less, pray hard [22:11] cristi wait for 10.04 out soon. [22:11] losher: cristi: actualy you get mroe stable than that even on the standard editions just waiting a month or 2 before upgrading to it [22:11] When I receive attachments in emails the drop down arrow opens a box that is supposed to have a file icon in it but instead the box is simply empty. Any ideas? [22:11] RHorse: thx [22:11] nmvic: before I do I just liek to how you two things to ensure its right... ok? [22:11] ahh there it is, damn.. ty [22:11] Primefalcon: and old application will work after an upgrade ? [22:11] *show [22:11] Well, switched to something a bit more stable [22:12] cristi: yes* [22:12] cristi: typicaly yes, but there can be bugs which is why I recomend just waiting a month or so before upgrading [22:12] Graham_: my suggestion would be to have 256 MB /boot as raid 1 on the raptors, 10-20G / (system) as raid 0 (so that'S a 5-10GB partition on each disk), rest as /home (think twice if you want raid0 for that [22:12] cristi: for new users or users who don't like bugs anyhow [22:12] Primefalcon: so scenario is ....upgrade appears and do it actuallu after 3,4 months [22:13] Primefalcon: cristi: waiting a couple of months after an upgrade before adopting any new release makes really good sense. I still think that 8.04LTS is the most stable ubuntu distro currently available.... [22:13] cristi: no 1 or 2 will be fine [22:13] cristi: 1 month is more then enough time to wait [22:13] i have for a long time 8.04 [22:13] how do I shut down virtualbox? [22:13] i wonder if i should upgrate to 9.04 [22:13] cristi: what are you using now? [22:13] Graham_: the 400G one can be mounted to /srv and you can symlik that to your music and video folders in your home-dir [22:13] cristi: if you want stabilty and support - stick with 8.04 [22:13] <`jaq> can anyone suggest a more appropriate channel for help with my networking problem? [22:13] im having a problem of Xorg locking up my Inspiron 5100, the Caps Lock and Scroll Lock blink on and off [22:13] cristi: there's almost no advantage to moving from 8.04 to 9.04.... [22:13] `jaq: ##networking ? [22:13] 8.04LTS didnt have a lot of support for my hardware....9.04 does :) [22:14] currently got vista installed on 400gb with backups of al my files [22:14] k. then i stick with 8.04 [22:14] i plan to buy a laptop....which one is is recommended for not searching too many drivers [22:14] actualy there is a lot of reason to move newer apps such as firefox 3, and the same goes with most other aps [22:14] Graham_: so dont touch taht yet... you can deal with that later [22:14] dividebyzer0: do you want to shut down a VM or the vbox service as a whole? [22:14] apoleo12: ok, i havent seen anything wrong, looks like everything went well though it look like grub fixed everything for (hd2,0), just have both hard disks attached just incase,Maybe grub corrected the second harddisk and not the firs. [22:14] Well....thinking back now, it must have been within the first few weeks of release that I downloaded it.

It pulled in my music automatically from my home/music folder [22:16] Graham_: the alternate installer is somewhat confusing... it's best to prepare the disk prior to running the installer and present a readily made array to the alternate CD [22:17] th1, it's in system->prefs [22:17] JoshuaP0x sweet [22:17] Can open office open MS publisher files?? [22:17] Graham_: one irc client I recomend you learn as soon as possible is irssi its a lot lighter and less issues than others [22:17] Graham_: so you have a desktop CD as well? [22:17] JoshuaP0x you can have it organize your file names and folders as well if you enable "manage" in the settings [22:17] LLStarks, I don't have it in that menu but I have a binary "compiz-manager" [22:17] How do I connect to a PPTP VPN server with Ubuntu 9? I installed network-manager-vpnc and there doesn't appear to be an application by that name after installing that package [22:17] stefg yes [22:17] but I've disabled all desktop effects becuase its an oldish laptop and the nvidia driver isn't great [22:17] notwist: do you? [22:18] stefg downloading irssi now. [22:18] Graham_: good... run that and i'll guide you thru preparing the raid arrays [22:18] th1, does it look like a rotating ring of 3 fireballs?

I don't have that much music to mess up if i dont like it, I'll turn it back. [22:19] th1, it must be some sort of desktop effects to show your mouse position, check out the compiz manager anyways [22:19] lanzelloth, when I ran it it started compiz and now it doesn't appear (but compiz is loaded which causes grief on this laptop" === obhk_ is now known as obhk [22:19] th1: understood. I was just observing that desktop effects seem to be vastly overrated by many people when in fact they're completely disposable... [22:20] nmvic: have you look at it yet? [22:20] !automate | quellhorst [22:20] quellhorst: Ways to automate installation of Ubuntu on multiple machines are described at https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/installation-guide/i386/automatic-install.html - See also !cloning [22:20] th1 may want to try disabling your touchpad to rule it out [22:20] looks like you have two kernels installed acording to your menu.lst though that has little to do with booting, otherwise,the operating system are arranged well,just try rebooting.i'll be intouchm so come back incase of nay complications [22:20] notwist: so i unzipped it. I dont htink it installed anytuing. is the whole program if that one folder that it unzipped? [22:20] !cloning [22:20] To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [22:20] JoshuaP0x yes. you can create a shortcut and point it to /home/user/Songbird/songbird or wherever you have it [22:20] nmvic: ok yeah alrite im praying now.... [22:20] th1, hmm so there's no window listing all the available desktop effects? btw are you running 9.04 ubuntu (not xubuntu, etc) [22:20] now rebooting... brb nmvic [22:21] stefg is irssi for windows - as thats what I'm running here at the mo. [22:21] notwist: where do people usually keep folders with entire programs like this? [22:21] lanzelloth, I'm running 9.04 standard ubuntu but it's been upgraded several times, I think I had 7.xx originally [22:21] Graham_: irssi is a commad line irc client for the linux console [22:21] JoshuaP0x usually different types of files are in different places. /etc/ is for example standard for configuration files of all programs [22:22] JoshuaP0x for example you can find the apt-get list of repositories in /etc/apt/sources.list [22:22] Ah, I'll get that installed once I'm able to run ubuntu. currently botted into my vista install. hopefully won't have to use it for much longer. [22:22] stefg Ah, I'll get that installed once I'm able to run ubuntu. currently botted into my vista install. hopefully won't have to use it for much longer. [22:22] lanzelloth, thanks anyway, I guess it does probably have something to do with Compiz, I guess it's time for a reinstall soon [22:22] Graham_: it would be easiest if you boot the Desktop CD on the box in question and join the chat from the Live CD. YOu can copy & paste then [22:23] notwist: i dont have anything in there but i just ran the cleanup wizard so might it have dumped teh files? [22:23] stefg ah. ok. will do it now. How do I access the irc client from the install cd? [22:23] JoshuaP0x you dont have anything where? [22:23] notwist: etc\apt\sources.list.d [22:23] th1 on menu preferences under appearance tab you can turn off effects [22:23] lanzelloth, I found it [22:23] JoshuaP0x not \ [22:23] th1, I don't think that's necessary, do check thekeyboard shortcuts [22:23] JoshuaP0x: / not \ [22:23] JoshuaP0x / [22:23] th1, what is it? [22:23] stefg as I'll lose this once I reboot. [22:24] notwist: that's what i meant. I'm using a gui [22:24] how do I find out the name of harddrives that are mounted... ie sda sdb etc. === adriano_ is now known as good [22:24] Graham_: you need the desktop CD... so the install will be in 2 stages. 1.) prepare the raid arrays from the desktop cd, 2.) then reboot and use the alternate CD to actually install [22:24] stefg sorry being a bit of a newb with this os. [22:24] ZenMasta: blkid [22:24] JoshuaP0x if you bring up a prompt and type "less /etc/apt/sources.list" i can promise you you'll see it === nmvicky is now known as nmvictor1 [22:24] quick question also for anyone out there, I do some basic C++ along with other langauges and am wondering what would be a good way to start participating in helping Ubuntu what avenue par say? [22:25] Graham_: that's ok, nobody was borm with a Linux Admin Certificate on his forehead [22:25] Primefalcon: #ubuntu-devel is a good place to ask [22:25] lanzelloth, it's Assistive Technologies->Mouse Accessibility->General->Show position of pointer when Ctrl key is pressed [22:25] allright. I'll try. For now, I have a folder on my desktop named Songbird with the program in it. Where should i put it? [22:25] IdleOne: thank you I'll check it out [22:25] ZenMasta type mount [22:25] IdleOne: blkid didn't display anything or give an error [22:25] notwist: allright. I'll try. For now, I have a folder on my desktop named Songbird with the program in it. Where should i put it? [22:25] stefg I can access the command prompt from the main install Cd, what to I type to get to ths irc chat? [22:25] ZenMasta, sudo gparted [22:25] \ [22:25] <`jaq> I've just gone all gigabit at my house, but I've isolated one of my ubuntu servers as problematic - it has an Intel 82573L onboard gig-e nic running e1000e driver, but will only transfer at 5MB/s with any other machine (all the rest are in the gig-e transfer range). Mii-tool and ethtool report that the card supports, and is connected at, 1000baseT at full duplex. Any ideas? === mattgyver[41] is now known as mattgyver [22:25] JoshuaP0x wherever you want, I put mine in my home folder. [22:25] th1, oh ok, that's great [22:25] ZenMasta: sudo apt-get install blkid [22:26] notwist: thanks. :) [22:26] lanzelloth: thanks gparted is easier [22:26] forgot about that [22:26] lanzelloth, yeah :) I guess it's probably been on for years but it doesn't show when Compiz is loaded, hence I got it after I disabled desktop effects === nix is now known as Guest77625 [22:26] hey everyone, has anyone heard of any tiling window addons for gnome? [22:26] ZenMasta: err thats wrong I believe [22:26] Graham_: the installer environment won't let connect you to IRC. you need a running system... the Live environment from the Live CD [22:26] does hibernation work for anyone? [22:26] lanzelloth, works fine on this laptop + on my asus eee with ubuntu netbook remix 9.10 (karmic) [22:26] lanzelloth: It works, why? [22:27] does anybody know how to run tinyXP from virtualbox? [22:27] ikonia: what package installs blkid? do you know off hand [22:27] it doesn't work for me it just logs me off === Guest77625 is now known as nix [22:27] is Movie Player's aka totem? [22:27] ZenMasta: or gparted :) [22:27] lanzelloth: Only on my desktop...added. Doesnt work on my laptop, but thats a bug with the hardware [22:27] how can i get root in terminal ? [22:27] ubuntu 9.10 is alpha4... it means to many bugs, or it is usable? [22:27] lanzelloth, you need to have a swap partition at least as big as your RAM, plus your grub config has to have a resume option [22:27] stefg so I fully install ubuntu first? would still require me to configure drives? Otherwise, sorry, bit lost here. [22:27] lanzelloth: hibernation/restart is a notorious trouble spot for many motherboards... [22:27] t__Eest use sudo [22:27] or su === nix is now known as Guest15370 [22:28] via su its says authentification failure [22:28] th1, hmm I didn't make any swap because I thought I would have more than enough ram, shucks [22:28] stefg maybe I'm getting mixed up with the install cd's and how to use them. I'm assuming the live cd is the main install cd. Also got an alternate install cd for setting up raid (which doesn't give the options on main cd). [22:28] t__Eest: or use sudo -s [22:29] sudo -s [22:29] lanzelloth, you have to make one, you can boot from the Live CD/Install CD and make one with gparted (Partition Editor) [22:29] Graham_: no.. you just use the Live CD environment to prepare the disks. when that's done you start the alternate CD and install to the partitions you made with the other CD [22:29] sorry dude ^.^ [22:29] it can resize your root partition if you need to. [22:29] okay thanks guys [22:29] notwist: One more thing, I would like to add a shortcut to songbird in my applications menu. how do it do that? [22:29] losher, I think my hardware is compatible, I think i've done it once with windows though I didn't use it much [22:29] is Movie Player's aka totem? [22:29] koolkat: yea [22:29] lanzelloth, if you don't have a swap partiion that's definitely why [22:29] JoshuaP0x its probably easier to just add it on the top bar, right? but if you really want to edit the menu theres an option for that under preferences or settings or something. i think its called menu [22:30] JoshuaP0x: system -> preferences -> main menu [22:30] Hey guys simple newbie question. I just did sudo apt-get upgrade [22:30] how can i resize my ubuntu partition to make it larger? right now its 15gb id like it be about 30gb... i have gparted installed just dont know how to use it :/ [22:30] And I think it asked me if I want to keep the current or install new. So I type D [22:30] stefg ok, and live cd is the main install cd? Otherwise where do I download or how do I install the 'live cd environment' ? (sorry again - starting to feel like a total berk lol ) [22:30] it says end however I don't know how to get out [22:30] any idea what do I do? [22:30] JoshuaP0x: not sure if you saw this link already but here it is anyway https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Songbird [22:30] t0s, you need to boot from the Live CD and do it with gparted from there, because you can't resize the partition with gparted when it's already in use [22:30] nmvic: unsucessful [22:30] ok [22:30] Graham_: so you now boot the Live CD , i tell you how to prepare the raid partitions... then you reboot with the alternate CD and do the install from that [22:30] lanzelloth: check with google about your hardware, but th1 is correct about needing swap to make hibernation work... [22:31] th1, ok, btw does swap partition need any extra space I mean it would suck if I spend time resizing and making one then turns out you need 500mb + the size you want [22:31] apoleo12: what happened? [22:31] kferdous: press Q or Esc? [22:31] it reboots [22:31] apoleo12: then [22:31] can anyone help me fix Gnome so that even though the wallpaper plugin is enabled in compiz saved files still show up on my desktop ? [22:31] Grub Loading stage 1.5. [22:31] th1, how do i access gparted from the live cd? just go to install? [22:31] I use 2 times my ram for swap [22:31] is Movie Player's aka totem? [22:31] reboots [22:31] lanzelloth, no it doesn't but I'd recommend putting a bit more just in case your partition size gets rounded down... [22:31] same over n over [22:32] apoleo12: no error 15 this time? [22:32] t0s, no, System->Administration->Partition Editor === heroid is now known as not_leorockw [22:32] ok [22:32] use gparted [22:32] not the way I see now [22:32] linuxson25 thank you :D [22:32] no more error 15 as orginally [22:32] kferdous: NP :) [22:32] ok. brb (I think). [22:33] Should I get the new one? [22:33] or leave it as is? [22:33] th1, oh well, my partition table's a mess, I don't think I can resize anything, thx anyway [22:33] Does anyone know why Code::Blocks' sys/mman.h doesn't have MAP_ANONYMOUS defined? [22:33] lanzelloth, you can always resize your Ubuntu partition. [22:33] Goodnight you all. Its been fun. Tomorrow is another day....keep well [22:33] nmvic: would you think grub messed up soemthing? [22:33] good night [22:33] night [22:33] apoleo12: what were you saying about the harddisks, and hey did you attach the second one while rebooting?please repeat what you said about the harddisks. [22:33] linuxson25: good night [22:34] what second one? [22:34] is it possible to change from ext3 to ext4 without reinstalling? [22:34] I've got troubles opening my extern harddisk, any ideas? [22:34] nikolajm: yes I did it myself [22:34] is it ntfs nikolajm [22:34] apoleo12: no, it didnt, it fixed everything thats why their isnt error 15, we are halfway through the problem, just tell me about the harddisks [22:34] I'm trying to backup my hard drive using this command. sudo dd if=/dev/sda | gzip >/media/disk/hdbackup/backup.gz right now I see a hollowed cursor in the terminal any way to see what the progress is? [22:34] nikolajm: you have to do it from a live disk though [22:34] th1, oh nvm lol I forgot I have to unmount the partition first to resize it [22:34] hel;lo guys, I am experience slow usb transfers in virtualbox, can someone please help me fix it === john__ is now known as highclasshole [22:35] lanzelloth, yeah that's where the Live CD comes in :) [22:35] lanzelloth, when you have created your swap partition and added it to /etc/fstab you also need to edit grub's options to enable resume [22:36] personaly I found ext4 somewhat unstable though when i tried it, had a habit of freezing [22:36] lanzelloth, otherwise you can hibernate but it won't resume, just boot up normally [22:36] It tells me that it cant mount 'cuz the ntfs is marked to be in use. [22:36] wesley: have you selected usb 2.0 in preferences? [22:36] yes [22:36] hello! I am having trouble with OpenGL.

I'd have thought - as its recognising them both as the single raid drive and formatted as such it should be ok. [23:03] Fonzo: whats the problem? [23:03] stefg - yep. [23:04] guntbert: i figured it out. this is why i tried there first then came here :P [23:04] stefg: whoops, just realised I think I shoulda been puttin colon after name. [23:04] Graham_: run 'sudo gparted' you should get a partition editor [23:04] Graham_: as long as there'S stefg in the line i get highlighted [23:04] danbhfive: it is slightly different from any online guide i can find, and i'm nervous about partitioning without being completely sure what to do :p [23:05] emyller: its ok with me, but I never used KDE on ubuntu - so no help from me either - sorry [23:05] Fonzo: how is it different?

I want to add a partition to my hdd and Im not sure if its ok to unmount the partition im using.

[23:07] guntbert: see that it has nothing to do with kde stuff ;) [23:07] danielstri: you HAVE to unmount any partition you want to modify [23:08] Fonzo: its an eeepc? yeah, I never do the guided partitioning. I use manual, so I can't help with the guided. If you want manual, I can help with that [23:08] hi people [23:08] Yeah but is it ok to unmount the one im using? [23:08] Fonzo: but my eeepc had several partitions on it [23:08] what do you mean "the one you're using"? [23:08] well [23:08] What does unmounting mean exactly? [23:08] add/remove and update manager crashing for me when starting [23:08] stefg tried both gparted and kdeparted - only difference this time as a little graphical box that came up centre of screen and said 'command not found'. [23:09] danielstri: you wouldn't have access to anything that is unmounted [23:09] emyller: thank you for reporting back - I'll remember that :-) [23:09] danbhfive: yes. this meny now shows 4 partitions; sda1, sda2, sda3 and sda4 [23:09] like if you unmount the cdrom, you won't be able to get files from it [23:09] Then, since I have only one primary partition, If I unmount that one, can I still keep on operating? [23:09] the thing is, i have no idea what's on any of them [23:09] And then add a partition? [23:09] guntbert: :) gonna try, cya [23:09] Wouldnt I need a live cd to work from? [23:10] danielstri: no, you would have to run gparted from livecd [23:10] that is an option, yes [23:10] Graham_: we need to partition /dev/sda and /dev/sdb now ... a GUI tool for that is gparted /qtparted. I'm not to familliar with kubuntu, so you might just 'sudo apt-get install gparted' ... this is just the Live CD, everything will be lost after reboot anyway (except the partition scheme we're doing) [23:10] A buggers! [23:10] danielstri: you can resize ext partitions while mounted, and you can edit the partition table while the partitions are mounted [23:10] I see.

[23:11] stefg: seems complete [23:11] danbhfive: when i press that option, however, it warns me that "a whole unit will be partitoned. All existing partitions vil be deleted if you follow through on making a new partiton table on this unit" [23:11] oskar-: I didn't think that is true [23:11] update manager crashing [23:11] guntbert: no, perhaps not... [23:11] Question: Help, sound died in my 8.04; how can I restart the sound service? there is no /etc/init.d/alsa [23:11] Fonzo: dont do that!!!! [23:12] danbhfive: and that scares me :( [23:12] Graham_: so kdesudu gparted should give you the partiton editor now [23:12] kdesudo [23:12] oh ok [23:12] So the only way to add a partition is to get a live cd? [23:12] null_: try /etc/init.d/pulseaudio [23:12] danbhfive: then what should i do? [23:12] stefg: yes. there now. [23:12] stefg: Graham_: use gksu with gparted [23:12] danielstri: oskar- said you *could*, not that its a sensible thing to try - use the Live CD please [23:12] <`jaq> I've just gone all gigabit at my house, but I've isolated one of my ubuntu servers as problematic - it has an Intel 82573L onboard gig-e nic running e1000e driver, but will only transfer at 5MB/s with any other machine (all the rest are in the gig-e transfer range).

Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php [23:13] danielstri: yes, use the live cd, if you are not absolutely shure, what you are doing. and of course have a full backup of all important data (!) [23:13] Fonzo: one sec [23:13] Ive made backups, And im used to partitioning, but not on ubuntu. [23:13] Graham_: choose sda (should be already) and go to drive > create partition table this will delete everything on /dev/sda [23:13] And I have no cd's laying about Y_Y [23:14] Hi, someone can help me with a problem, please? I have a line in my firewall "iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 80 -j DNAT --to 1.1.1.2:80" and working fine, but in the apache log always have 1.1.1.1 and don't the WAN IP, any idea? [23:14] Thank you for your advice! The ubuntu community always lives up to expectations! [23:14] Fonzo: I forget. Its hard to say without seeing the makeup. You have 4 partitions? are they all primary? [23:14] Hopefully I'll be on the other side soon. [23:15] danielstri: you cannot modify a mounted partition (at least not with gparted) [23:15] stefg its only showing up 139gb of unallocated space. not listing any other drives. there is an error following the command that says - http://pastebin.com/m53fb510e [23:15] Yeah, I was just hoping there was a bypass somehow. [23:16] stefg: I see, going to devices off menu it lists all drives. [23:16] stefg: a, b and c [23:16] danbhfive: i'm not sure what that means :p 2 of them are ntfs and seems like the c: and d: drive i would find in windows explorer, one is in fat32 and smaller than the 2 first, and the last is really small (49 MB) [23:16] Graham_: gparted only deals with one drive at a time .. we're dealing with /dev/sda now [23:17] sup everybody [23:17] anyone's into file-roller? === spOO` is now known as spO [23:17] Graham_: BTW how much RAM has your box?

How do i get my default gdm.conf back? [23:21] Graham_: ok... so you need to partition /dev/sda and /devsdb in exactly the same way. i suggest: 1 primary: 256 MB (will be /boot), then a primary 5-10 GB (will be / ) , then create an extended partition for the rest [23:21] danbhfive: where do i go from here? [23:21] Hey folks, before I start my routine idling - I'm using jaunty and would like to install Intrepid onto a USB dongle from an advanced install ISO. Is there any special way to go about it? [23:22] Graham_: the extended partition should hold 2,5 to 3 GB /will be swap, rest (logcal) for /home [23:22] Fonzo: how are the other partitions labeled?

[23:57] hi. i was wondering if anyone ever noticed any versions of ubuntu throwing up terminal sessions with text inside. === abc is now known as Guest95760 [23:58] ryan122, I recommend CompTIA Linux+, which requires Red Hat Enterprise experience and knowledge of bash shell scripting [23:58] ryan122: I'm biased because every shop seems to be using redhat, or at least centos atm. at some point ubuntu will probably dent that if it hasn't already. I guess lots of it depends on where you want to work though. this is really fodder for #ubuntu-offtopic though :-) [23:58] ryan122: study lpa as its a generic linux cert that transgresses distro [23:59] Graham_: no... sda1 and sdb1 are exactly the same size.
