[00:00] un|matrix: I'd say you can find that easy shot googling. [00:00] Setting up your own webserver requires knowledge of setting up apache, intermediate networking skills and a drive to do lots of reading [00:00] I don't think you are there yet bro [00:00] but, if i paid somebody, they cant do it over the internet [00:00] FlugHaffen: if that gives anything do root (hd#,#) where #,# is specified depending on what the find command gave. [00:00] joker_: wish i could use Adobe Audition... you don't need to do pointless stuff like that with it [00:00] bye [00:00] they would need to be here in person [00:00] Guest522 this isn't a ubuntu problem... it's a dsl modem/router problem [00:00] un|matrix: chatting is a good way of finding ideas to solve your problem but it most of the time wont fix it "out of the box" :) [00:00] FlugHaffen: and then just the command: boot [00:00] so nobody is going to help me [00:00] un|matrix: I dont see why you can't use adobe whatever? [00:01] Guest522. When I setup a webserver....it took me days of trial and error and lots of reading and googling [00:01] how do i make 'xset m 0 0' startup everytime? [00:01] joker_: i'm not going to buy windows [00:01] un|matrix: wine [00:01] Guest522, It sounds like you need to do some reading at http://httpd.apache.org and get to know how the web server works before you even try to set it up. You are just asking for trouble if you make it internet facing without some prior knowledge of how apache works :) [00:01] Guest522 you need to be willing to help yourself first [00:01] joker_: tried it, doesn't work [00:01] arand, ok ill try that now, thanks [00:01] o [00:01] un|matrix: oh, for real? It crash or what? [00:01] Guest522: i missed your question - is it "how do i set up a website" or something more subtle? [00:01] You can't expect to come in here and everyone jump at your feet and hand you all the answers. You gotta do alot of the stuff on your own. That's just the way it is [00:02] h2g2bob: he's trying to setup a webserver...and has no knowledge of apache [00:02] ive ran loads of servers from datacenters, i just wanted to run it from home, the only thing thing thats making me confussed is the whole port forwarding [00:02] Guest522 this is a networking problem.. learn how to port forward and open up your router for cross port traffic on the wireless [00:02] Well scuzni gave you a link to go read up on port forwarding and I don't believe you read it [00:02] this is what i dony no [00:02] joker_: the installation freezes and won't continue, and when i try to run the pre-installed version (which my friend sent me), it says it's not installed [00:02] I started out with RedHat 5.2, a book on UNIX commands and no internet. That was a learning curve I must say :) [00:02] dont no* [00:03] You need to read that site he gave you and google and find the docs for your router [00:03] Guest522, get one of your data center fellow employees to give you a hint [00:03] un|matrix: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=3665 [00:03] there not going to help me, because they would lose money [00:03] un|matrix: according to that, you should be able to do what you want [00:03] Guest522: look on the bottom of your router / cable modem and type the web address there into your web browser to configure your router for port forwarding [00:04] Guest522, they hired you didn't they? [00:04] joker_: i already read the whole page, but it doesn't work here [00:04] ROFL @ bucky [00:04] arand, i got the same error as always. Error 8: kernel must be loaded before booting [00:04] ive done that, and im into my router, im just unsure about the port forwarding [00:04] Guest522: all routers are a bit different, so it's hard to give specific info. Another problem you might run into is your ISP may only give you a dynamic ip address [00:04] joker_: the installation stops before showing the EULA with MSIEXEC.EXE using all of the CPU... left it run for 30 minutes and it didn't move [00:05] my ip adress has always been the same, everytime i reset it, ive never had a new ip adress [00:05] un|matrix: got that a few times with steam aswell... [00:05] Yeah they call that a static ip address. [00:05] un|matrix: don'T remember what I did exactly but I think it somewhere needed to be restarted several times... [00:05] test [00:05] Hello. I'm experiencing serious soft lockups of my machine when copying large files. Is there any fix for this issue? [00:05] un|matrix: lets see how to do what you want with linux based apps [00:05] <_20eric06_> Can anyone help me removing lilo? [00:06] no [00:06] <_20eric06_> Anyone? [00:06] Guest522, All you do to port forward is forward port 80 to the ip address of your server. If you do that the internet will only be able to access port 80 on your machine. BUT Please read about the security issues and how to set up and deploy a chroot jail for apache first [00:06] _20eric06_ Just ask [00:06] <_20eric06_> bkevan, I did... [00:06] Guest522, go to http://192.168.254.254 and enter your passwd.. point and click [00:07] <_20eric06_> [20:05] <_20eric06_> Can anyone help me removing lilo? [00:07] google "remove lilo" i just found lots of sites that show you how to do it [00:07] _20eric06_ You asked if someone could help you.. :P [00:07] un|matrix: http://audacity.sourceforge.net/onlinehelp-1.2/reference.html [00:07] <_20eric06_> I'm mouse-less right now [00:07] <_20eric06_> can't open firefox [00:07] un|matrix: it says on that page that tracks can have diffrent sample rates [00:07] bucky: i tryed that link, it doesnt load [00:07] un|matrix: that the rates will be ajusted to the project's rate [00:07] <_20eric06_> Yep, just as helpful as ##linux [00:07] <_20eric06_> God damn. [00:07] joker_: one moment [00:07] FlugHaffen: Can you boot up with a livecd? [00:07] un|matrix: you have to "set rate" somewhere [00:08] arand, yes [00:08] _20eric06_, What OS are you running? [00:08] Guest522, try it from something other than your laptop [00:08] arand, im in livecd right now [00:08] joker_: yeah, it doesn't happen... i've set it to 22050 and imported a 44100 file, and it didn't convert it [00:09] i have a friend that is trying to connect aswell for me [00:09] from his hom pc [00:10] ok guys well thanx for the help [00:10] ive guessed no1 is going to help me [00:10] so cheerz [00:10] FlugHaffen: ok, are you able to browse the partition where ubuntu is installed? [00:10] Gues522: You're not asking the right questions [00:10] un|matrix: I'm kinda skeptical but I dont have any files at any other rate than 44khz from what I know of... [00:10] arand, yes [00:10] un|matrix: So I can't test it... Altho I could mix to takes of microphone... [00:10] joker_: any youtube video will include 22kHz audio [00:10] Guest522: And when people are trying to help.. you tell them no "your ip has always been the same" .. DHCP expires.. unless you're granted that IP via the MAC.. then you're never guarnteed that IP.. even if you have always gotten it [00:11] ok, [00:11] so what kind of questions shuld i be asking [00:11] ? [00:11] _20eric06_: you didn't give enough information.. like what OS you're running, what version of LILO.. and if you have GRUB loaded.. and if you want to use GRUB instead.. [00:11] un|matrix: aight, I'mma try that and you find a solution to synchronise my icecast clients. ;) [00:11] un|matrix: Deal? [00:11] FlugHaffen: do you see a /boot/grub folder, and does it contain files like stage1 menu.lst etc.? [00:11] bkevan: you need to supply a reference dictionary. ISP, DHCP, MAC, and maybe "expires" [00:11] _20eric06_ you also don't give info on what the current issue is.. and why you want to get rid of it [00:11] how do I copy contents of of a CD and preserve their permissions? [00:12] Guest522: ask again === UdontKnow is now known as KnightWhoSaysNi [00:12] arand, yea [00:12] chaz - make an image [00:12] Guest522: First off. what's your problem.. What are you trying to accomplish.. what problems are you having, and what is the expected outcome [00:12] joker_: i'll look into it [00:12] chaz - man dd [00:12] or use brasero [00:12] ok [00:12] hmm... weird thing - ubuntu 8.04 on a Lenovo 3000 N200. I just installed the latest set of updates a few days ago and since then, whenever the screen saver kicks in, the screen brightness dims the screen to about 40% brightness. I have to manually adjust the brightness when the screensaver kicks off [00:12] scunizi: ICUP is the most imporatnt.. [00:12] un|matrix: ok, going to my desktop. brb [00:12] scunizi: Because if ICUP then we have problems.. [00:12] Guest522, Not that we aren't going to help you, just that we believe you need to do some more research into the subject. I have pointed you to apache.org and now it is up to you to do some reading and then come back with some questions we can actually answer. There is a lot in setting up a server and the subject needs to be broken down to smaller subject areas for us to be able to help more. Do this by reading about apach [00:12] e and the server first. [00:12] brasero --- pffffffft [00:13] mrwes - it makes images, and comes with ubuntu. [00:13] so does mkisofs :) [00:13] heh [00:14] mrwes: so does dd ... sort of :) it's just easier to use the graphical ones [00:14] im trying to setup a home webserver to run some websites from, ive installed ubuntu onto the machine , and ive installed cpanel onto the machine with ubunut, and now i need to give it access so that people can view my websites, ive been told its something to do with portforwarind but im unsure what , please could somebody help me so other people can access my machine? and be able to view my websites? [00:14] arand, what should i do from here? [00:14] Jesus, this channel is enormous. [00:15] hello folks. I have an ATI all-in-wonder. I am trying to get dual head capabilities with the TV out. How do I set up xorg.conf [00:15] un|matrix: looks like it works out of the box here [00:15] Guest522, forward port 80 from your router to the server, that is, if your ISP allows it [00:15] !tvout | detrix [00:15] detrix: For help with enabling the TV-Out, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaTVOutNewbieEdition (Nvidia cards) or http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Tvout (ATI cards, *untested*) [00:15] hey everyone whats [00:15] going on there [00:15] joker_: you can't sync icecast listeners, if i were u i'd stream audio to them via pulseaudio [00:15] un|matrix: ho, yeah the song is quite slower lol [00:15] ultraputz, I've always been a big fan of K3b -- I don't mind carrying the extra KDE libs [00:15] joker_: exactly [00:15] detrix: note those links are really old. Try checking the help.ubuntu.com/community entry for ati as well [00:15] love this distro :P [00:15] Guest522, Get the make and model of your router and google it. Get the user manual and follow instructions in that to enable port forwarding [00:16] ok, but how do i find out my router ip, im guessing is 192.168.1.1 [00:16] mrwes - kde make me feel queasy, and i tend to use dd for most everything :-) [00:16] un|matrix: ok, thx for the search ;) Imma check out your thing now and try to surpass you with a working solution rather than telling you it doesnt work :P === void is now known as vo|d [00:16] Guest522: read the documentation for your router. This isn't related to ubuntu. [00:16] ultraputz, can't argue with dd [00:16] so it didnt let me add http://192.168.1.1, but another i found on my machine is 192.168.1.2 [00:16] hey guys [00:16] FlugHaffen: ok, let's try to reinstall grub to the mbr then (which loads the grub files here), run "sudo grub" "find /boot/stage1" "root (hd#,#)" (just like before) and then finally "setup hd0" (or hd# where # is the device you are booting from, it's normally hd0 but could be different if you have several harddisks or raid setups...) [00:16] flower: it's advancing at a very slow pace. if you mean 0.5.4, it's already gone through much rework since then [00:16] so ive added this with port 80 [00:16] no sir [00:16] helpee: thats kinda why I am here. I could not find much on ati tv out [00:16] and now it will work yes? [00:16] Guest522, And you are a server admin? See previous post of mine [00:16] you know anything about lvm / dmcrypt ? [00:16] arand, i have 3 hd's [00:16] Guest522: you need to forward port 80 ON YOUR ROUTER to your ubuntu machine [00:17] er, anyone, mrwes? [00:17] ok [00:17] FlugHaffen: ok, hang on then. [00:17] but people need to be able to access the machine with the ip [00:17] ultraputz, genisoimage -r -J -o cd_image.iso $1 :) [00:17] for example my laptop ip show up on the internet as 82.32.200.81, what does this have to do with it? [00:17] Guest522 -- do consider that your ISP may block port 80 [00:17] un|matrix: theres a "change speed" function but I don't think that,d be quite "intuitive" :) [00:17] helpee: he may not have apache installed ... only cpanel === hey` is now known as grumete [00:17] Guest522: yeah, they'll enter your router's ip and your router will forward their request to your server on your network... [00:17] im not sure if they do or not [00:18] how would i find out? [00:18] FlugHaffen: do you know which one you are normally booting from? [00:18] hello everyone! [00:18] Guest522, forward port 80 from your router to the server, that is, if your ISP allows it <---- ultraputz [00:18] Guest -- set it up correctly and still not have it work : -) [00:18] heh [00:18] How do I get ubuntu to drop to a tty and display the fault when the kernel panics? [00:18] arand, no not really [00:18] i like the hardware support now arvailable i have tried to get into linux distros many times but all started to sound like mac only liking certain hardware [00:18] question: how do i change a login name with root access from say foo to myfoo [00:18] joker_: i've tried that, and it doesn't work either... a 22kHz that should be 44kHz gets sped up 50%... but if you slow it down 50% it's not the same at all [00:18] arand, i have windows on one and until today had fedora on another [00:18] Guest522, if you have a dynamic IP address you need to use a company like DynDNS to give you a domain name [00:19] jrivera, you don't. you create a new userid. [00:19] joker_: actually, make that 100% [00:19] Guest522, might need to run your web server on 8080 or something like that and forward that port [00:19] un|matrix: I just did it. Sucessfully resampled to 22khz without speed lost [00:19] My laptop keeps crashing, basically it just resets with no error message [00:19] Guest522, http://dyndns.com [00:19] joker_: with 'change speed'? [00:19] +1 for dyndns -- been using it for about a year without issues and free too :) [00:19] Does ubuntu drop to a tty with error message when the kernel panics or does it just reset? [00:19] ultraputz: will i use adduser or useradd command? i am on command line only [00:19] un|matrix: Menu -> Tracks -> Resample [00:19] my laptop loves it only crashed due to heat when converting 60 gb of video files lol [00:20] sudo adduser [00:20] FlugHaffen: hmm, "sudo fdisk -l" might give you a hint (at least one of the partitions should have a boot flag)? [00:20] btw .. it shells to vi by default [00:20] joker_: dammit i've been searching for this for hours [00:20] ok thanx [00:20] so either know vi, or export EDITOR="" [00:20] un|matrix: you owe me bro :P [00:20] then i can delete the old login username? [00:20] joker_: i guess i do [00:20] un|matrix: sup with my synchronisation? :) [00:20] arand, that'd be my windows install. [00:21] jrivera, you can disable the account [00:21] joker_: solve it with pulseaudio [00:21] joker_: it should be synced [00:21] or sudo update-alternatives --config editor and choose option 3 for nano [00:21] jrivera, and if you like, you could pull its home directory. [00:21] ok, and what disk is that (sda sdb sdc ?) [00:21] mrwes, better call. [00:21] un|matrix: yeah I'llr ead on that... just pisses me off I made all these network settings for nothing... [00:21] ok i think that's better [00:21] arand sdc1 [00:21] okay, you guys [00:21] i need your lovin [00:21] ultraputz, I'm on a roll [00:21] thanks ultraputz [00:21] i had two drive's drop from an array [00:21] FlugHaffen: you have been using grub to boot windows as well? [00:21] Guest522, Don't keep anything personal on your server... I have had break in attempts by the Russians and the Chinese in the past [00:21] neither were accessed/formatted. both are uninitalized right now [00:21] zefyx - try duct tape. [00:21] un|matrix: I've put a mpd server, icecast, clients, made shell scripts to wrap that (ease of use for the girlfriend)... [00:22] what do i need to do to force them back into my raid 5? [00:22] arand, that was my original plan but i havent been able to use it to boot anything [00:22] joker_: i know... i've been through it [00:22] un|matrix: on all the computers here... So you can control any mpd server from any computer, and listen to any of them [00:22] Guest522, better think about running DenyHosts and some iptable rules for brute force attacks :)) [00:22] ok [00:22] FlugHaffen: Ok, hopefully this should work: first run "sudo grub" in a terminal [00:22] does anyone know anything about gnome's drag-and-drop - have any debugging hints, etc? === frt is now known as Guest96627 [00:22] un|matrix: I wanted a "Hey listen to that!", networked. [00:23] I've got a sample program with a drag destination for text/uri-list data types. If I drag folder locations from the location bar in nautilus, it gives multiple "drag-data-received signals" for a single "drag-drop". This confuses and angers me. [00:23] all i want to do is get the server live to public [00:23] joker_: well the mpd server is icecast independant isnt it? [00:23] i can worrie about the rest onces ive done this [00:23] quick Q for y'all regarding wireless config: what kind of packet loss do i need to see before I should turn on CTS Protection Mode? [00:23] un|matrix: but it's out of sync and it sucks :( [00:23] un|matrix: yeah, it is. Good point [00:23] joker_: you can still use pulseaudio with it [00:23] FlugHaffen: at the grub prompt do "find /boot/grub/stage1" what does that give? [00:23] Guest522, your ISP may block port 80 -- we told you several times brutha! [00:23] arand (hd1,0) [00:23] un|matrix: Yup, good idea but I dont know much bout pulse audio... imma have to read bout that. [00:23] yes i no [00:24] FlugHaffen: then do "root (hd1,0)" [00:24] un|matrix: any, thx for the hints and have fun with audacious [00:24] but, i need to try and get this setup so i can find out brutha! [00:24] heh [00:24] joker_: it's not too complicated, just put pulseaudio on all clients and forward the audio from the server to them [00:24] don't bite the hand that is helping [00:24] its really stressing me out now [00:24] FlugHaffen: And then "setup hd2" (c is third 2 is third counting from 0) [00:24] Guest522, No point in forwarding port 80 if your ISP blocks it! [00:24] whats the point in using ubuntu if somebody cant even help [00:25] FlugHaffen: sorry "setup (hd2) [00:25] has anyone had full-disk encryption fail after recent update? [00:25] joker_: the padevchooser might prove a useful tool [00:25] but, i wont no if thy block it till i try [00:25] ignore [00:25] un|matrix: yeah but I'll have to read to code a script to wrap everything so that you can listen to any pulseaudio server from any computer... [00:25] get dropped to busybox? [00:25] didnt get any errors [00:25] arand, lemme reboot see what happens [00:25] un|matrix: Yeah I used that for my bluetooth headphones [00:25] FlugHaffen: good luck [00:25] arand, thanks and thanks for the help [00:25] im looking for a good fps or mmorpg for ubuntu [00:25] Guest522, this is not actually Ubuntu.. This is basic networking [00:25] question: what is the best server backup policy: full+incremental, full+differential, or real-time? [00:26] no one knows anything about raid then eh? [00:26] joker_: uhm... what do u mean by 'listen to any pulseaudio server from any computer'? [00:26] SerialKiller: if you find one, let me know ;) [00:26] SerialKiller: quakelive,? [00:26] that is free?? [00:26] SerialKiller: indeed. [00:26] joker_: u have multiple servers and multiple clients? [00:26] jrivera, how much space do you have for backups? [00:26] Guest522, you can't get into your dsl modem? maybe they do it different in the uk [00:26] got a homepage [00:26] ?? [00:26] un|matrix: well, pulseaudio would have to be streaming at some point, and the clients would have to connect to it to get the feed. And yes, I have multiple servers, multiple clients [00:26] i had two drive's drop from an array [00:26] terabyte drive [00:26] no one knows anything about raid then eh? [00:26] arand, back at CLI [00:26] neither were accessed/formatted. both are uninitalized right now [00:26] what do i need to do to force them back into my raid 5? [00:26] zefyx: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:26] un|matrix: right now, as I said, you can control any server from any machine and listen to it aswell [00:26] joker_: actually the server decides where it streams to, the clients just listen [00:27] jrivera, if you have the room -- full + full :) [00:27] SerialKiller: google.com ;) --> quakelive.com [00:27] thnx lol [00:27] un|matrix: well, I'll have to read and see what I can do with that [00:27] un|matrix: if theres a way to "send" the music to the clients, there will be a way to make it do what I want [00:27] FlugHaffen: hum... [00:27] joker_: it's designed to do that [00:27] arand, i know [00:28] mrwes: but won't it overwrite files for the previous days? what if we want to puul back to say three days back? [00:28] joker_, you need music sharing from the server? [00:28] arand, im stumped and frustrated [00:28] *pull [00:29] can you install wubi with truecrypt encrypted windows system? [00:29] by the way what would be the ideal backup tool to use, i read a lot about rsync [00:29] mrwes: I have a file server wich holds the files, a media center that runs most of the multimedia things, but I wanted to have mpd servers / clients on each machine, controllable by any other machine and streaming trough icecast. I have that, the problem is the sync. If I connect with 3 clients to 1 server, they're out of sync and it kinda sucks. Using pulseaudio should sove this problem (instead of icecast). [00:29] can you install wubi on a truecrypt encrypted windows system? [00:29] mrwes: got it ;) ? [00:29] joker_, barely :) say again? heh [00:30] mrwes: I had a problem, we found a possible solution, Imma try it. ;) [00:30] joker_, I use mt-daapd for media/music shares -- works with Ubuntu clients and Windows iTunes [00:30] cerol, only if the windows bootloader can decrypt the partition before booting it :) [00:31] mrwes: thats not a share, thats streaming. Say you wanna listen to the radio, you can be in your car or on as many "clients" you like say your home stereo, everything will be in sync. [00:31] ic [00:31] mrwes: if you have 3 stereo in your house and all of them listen to the same radio station, the sound is in sync and it works fine [00:31] joaopinto: i dont know the answer to that [00:32] cerol, it's no [00:32] mrwes: with mp3 radio it,s not the same, due to buffering [00:32] * Gouda slaps joker_ around a bit with a large trout [00:32] joaopinto: how do you know? [00:32] How do you reset your X settings to their OOB defaults? [00:32] Gouda: sry for that [00:33] *about [00:33] seems i read somewhere there was a 'magic' command which made lcd monitors, crisper. is there such thing? [00:33] anyway thx, I'm out [00:33] Are there advanced window management utilities for GNOME? Like in KDE? [00:35] can you install wubi on a truecrypt encrypted windows system anyone? [00:35] !wubi | cerol [00:35] cerol: 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. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. [00:36] un|matrix: by the way, pulseaudio wont work. It woudl redirect all of the audio.

[01:47] nathanmarck, can you re state your problem please, I am not sure I understand what your problem is :) [01:47] Is there a Mactel support IRC channel here? === CyberKitsune_ is now known as CyberKitsune [01:47] mechdave: Basicly index.php in a dir called mps wont run but other .php files will [01:48] nathanmarck, now are you running apache web server on that machine? [01:48] On this laptop yes [01:48] whar kind of educational software is on the edubuntu ? anything to learn linux there ? [01:48] i'm stuck in a place i've been stuck before -- i've installed something (in this case, imagemagick) via synaptic but now i can't seem to figure out how to run it -- it doesn't show up in the Applications menu and from the terminal i get the error 'command not found' -- i search using nautilus and i find many many files whose names contain 'imagemagick' but i'm just more confused -- what now? [01:48] hi how to compile kernel whit CONFIG_VIDEO_V4L1_COMPAT ? [01:48] nathanmarck, if you specify index.php at the end of the url does it execute? [01:48] serp: Nope [01:49] nathanmarck, but if you specify any other url with a php ending it does? [01:49] But it will in others [01:49] Yeah [01:49] I have say ubuntu.local/eyeOS/index.php [01:49] That works [01:49] But ubuntu.local/mps/index.php gives me the download dialog [01:50] nathanmarck, Ok now what happens is that some directories (usually /var/www/html) will run php and then you have to specifically enable the other directories to allow php to run in either the php.conf or sites-enabled.conf [01:50] xiong: imagemagick is command line [01:50] whats the name of the bluethooth manager in ubuntu (gnome)?? [01:50] SuperMIguel, bluez [01:50] morph_, grep CONFIG_VIDEO_V4L1_COMPAT /boot/config-`uname -r` [01:50] nathanmarck, so it isn't just index.php but only index.php within /mps? what about other .php within /mps [01:51] morph_, don't you have it already [01:51] other .php withing /mps work perfectly [01:51] Its this evil index.php file in /mps [01:51] Ben64, that i understand -- as i say, the bash/terminal window says 'command not found' -- i don't understand that [01:52] i have v4l2 but need v4l1 [01:52] xiong: it gives you commands like "display, mogrify, and convert" [01:52] now work tnx [01:52] Oh and if i decide to go to say ubuntu.local/eyeOS it will tell me to download ".php" === dvz-_ is now known as dvz- [01:52] i expect imagemagick itself to complain when i invoke it without cli options but i don't expect bash to choke [01:52] has anyone had full-disk encryption fail after recent update? [01:52] get dropped to busybox? [01:52] xiong: http://www.imagemagick.org/script/command-line-tools.php [01:53] lvm complaning about file descriptors? [01:53] can anybody help me , with the cups printer configuration...it works on my ubuntu 8.04 but can't connect from Vista ? [01:53] Ben64, xikteny, that's not my question -- i don't know what to do when bash can't find an installed package [01:53] Im going to try to reset my cache [01:53] xiong: try running "convert" [01:53] xiong: imagemagick is a set of separate executables, not one 'imagemagick' command === xray7224_ is now known as jessica_lilly [01:54] oh [01:54] :/ Stupid mozilla firefox mocking me. Sorry for the troubles FireFox decided to be...

[01:57] :) [01:57] Believe me, I know what it takes for a good relationship...I've always been the type of guy who ends up as a "bandage" for emotionally tortured women who get out of bad relationships and have nobody to turn to [01:57] gouda, thats a helluva job you've done there [01:57] here we go again mnaines [01:57] I can't believe this you admitted to being a trick online D: [01:57] Yeah.

I meant the fact that I have a bunch of computers in my room. And I barely use that one. [02:17] What do I need to install to get mkinitrd?

[02:20] Phantom: I've been meaning to get new hardware for this thing. Maybe this will be my new determination. [02:21] I might go there in a mo [02:21] :~$ ok Ben64, but what about ATI Radeon [02:21] <^Phantom^> 512 MB RAM should be sufficient for ubuntu. [02:22] <^Phantom^> I've run it on that before and it worked fine. [02:22] deviant-route: works, but usually not as easy to get working, and less mature drivers for linux [02:22] ok thanks [02:22] Keaton, ^Phantom^: 512 is fine, yeah. But more is ALWAYS better [02:22] Phantom: Thank you, and Thank you everyone else who helped me.

[03:17] but if i shutdown now [03:17] :~$ ok thats great [03:17] kismet: so you ran fsck just now? [03:17] or the last two times it was so... that it was an unsafe shutdown again [03:17] xikteny: Ew.

[04:33] :D [04:33] tony99: it's the default for the next ubuntu release 9.10 [04:33] o i thought it was beta [04:33] <_CUJO_> well, I gotta go now.. thanks for helping me ppl... [04:34] miguelonnnn: the remove / command? [04:34] and don't tell me that's because you cannot remove the dir you are in , cause do the following: get to a dir, and type the whole route to the dir to rm -r , then pwd, it gets removed and you get error printing pwd cause it doesn't exist. So you can actually remove folders while you're accessing them [04:34] tony99: it is, kind of, but more like a google beta, which lasts for decades... [04:35] xikteny i found it but im still getting Module not found. [04:35] yeah sebseb, you can make rm -rf / being root [04:35] miguelonnnn: danger don't remove / [04:35] of course you'll crash the system [04:35] !danager [04:35] Sorry, I don't know anything about danager [04:35] yeah i know [04:35] !danger [04:35] DO NOT RUN THAT COMMAND That particular command is DANGEROUS and shouldn't be uttered here.

[04:44] kmen, if you dont have internet... how are you here? [04:44] tony, if it still does not work then either you have a corrupted version of the software or your hardware is damaged [04:45] tony99, check to make sure your hard drives are still in order...

[04:46] gnea, he said if he reinstalls [04:46] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KarmicReleaseSchedule [04:46] jiohdi: and if his system configuration never changed... [04:46] there is nothing on my ubuntu drive but ubuntu...no data [04:46] tony99, if BIOS changes the boot order sometimes grub will throw a error 17 or 18 [04:46] Hey all I just installed Ubuntu 9.04 to a partition but when i boot off the HDD it says GRUB loading, please wait.. Error 17 [04:46] what gives [04:47] gnea, if you reinstall from scratch and it does not work... then either the software used to reinstall is corrupt or the hardware is damaged, what else? [04:47] tony99: also, like the post says, check your devices.map file [04:47] at least 9.10 is coming out soon [04:47] when? [04:47] tony99: Let me guess, Error fucking 17 as well right?

[04:50] its like from 04 or 05 [04:50] dell [04:50] tony99: what's the model #? [04:51] optical: it depends on which partition and hard disk has ubuntu, and how grub detects it [04:51] tony99, Ok make sure that c: is selected. Have you had the hard drives removed from the case?

[04:52] is there a way to adjust sensitivity? [04:52] yea i think [04:53] tony99: i'm guessing you have xp on the first drive? will grub boot it? [04:53] tony99, yeah [04:53] isight-firmware-tools is like, broken. [04:53] So I installed ubuntu on a flash drive (not live, actually installed TO the drive from a CD) I would like to be able to move between two computers, each with different video cards.

[04:55] can ubuntu deal with me switching video cards frequently? Between an ATI card and an Nvidia card. [04:55] need it to detect at boot which one to use [04:55] Hello everyone, I installed isight-firware-tools, and set it to the right path when prompted, but on it's setting up stage, I got:dpkg: error processing isight-firmware-tools (--configure): [04:55] subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 134 [04:56] tony99, Ok usually when that happens to me I have a drive on an incorrect cable somewhere.

[04:59] aahha...iv been using hd0 [04:59] 6. Type "setup (hd0,3)". This is key. Other instructions say to use "(hd0)", and that's fine if you want to write GRUB to the MBR. If you want to write it to your linux root partition, then you want the number after the comma, such as "(hd0,3)". [05:00] tony99: right, setup (hd2) should be used [05:00] should i try not putting it on the mbr [05:00] k [05:00] tony99: you will need to change the (hd0,3) according to which disk and partition is being used [05:00] im going to signoff and try that...ill be back to post the results in about 7min [05:00] lstarnes yes of course [05:01] * Gnea is heading to bed [05:03] hello!

You can't delete '.' because you must be in that directory in order to be able to reference it as such, thus you have a lock on the directory. [05:09] optical: the typical process for repairing grub is a bit long, but not very difficult. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto#Backup,%20Repairing%20and%20Reinstalling%20GRUB both have instructions useful for repairing grub [05:09] optical: also, are you using ext4, or a different filesystem? [05:09] ext3 [05:09] should i use ext4 ? [05:09] optical: ext3 works [05:10] lstarnes was i supposed to do setup (hd2) or add a partition in there also [05:10] ede [05:10] hello i am gparted [05:10] i am looking at my system [05:11] optical when did u start getting the error [05:11] /dev/sdb3 is the boot drive [05:11] tony99: fresh install for me [05:11] optical: then it would probably be (hd1,2) [05:11] well good luck iv had this error since june [05:11] /dev/sdb1 = windows , /dev/sdb2 = swap /dev/sdb3 = ext3 [05:11] tony99: frig?? [05:11] i dont know what frig means but i wasnt jokeing [05:11] lstarnes: do I just edit the grub.conf or do i have to reinstall grub somehow too [05:12] optical: usually editing the menu.lst is sufficient [05:12] i see ubuntu comes with a rdc program [05:12] is this only i client or can someone connect to me [05:13] do i need server software [05:13] lstarnes do u no [05:13] tony99: I don;t [05:14] tony99: I think it may just be a client [05:14] eek, i dont have a menu.lst in /boot [05:14] where is it supposed to be [05:14] optical: what about /boot/grub/menu.lst? [05:14] no grub folder [05:14] optical: do you have a grub.conf under /boot? [05:15] nope [05:15] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto#Backup,%20Repairing%20and%20Reinstalling%20GRUB [05:15] oops [05:15] just like config-something-generic, system.map, etc [05:15] accidental copy-paste [05:15] optical: in that case you may need to reinstall grub [05:16] but i didnt want to install a boot loader even, i just wanted to boot off that HD when i choose so in bios [05:16] otherwise vista will probably break [05:16] urghhghgh [05:16] optical: I think the vista bootloader can be chainloaded by grub [05:16] optical: vista's bootloader can also be configured to load grub [05:20] dverweire, hi thanks for answer :) i don't know what you mean when you say i must be in the directory and thus it's locked [05:21] i've succesfully removed files while i'm in them. For example, i mkdir ~/testdir && cd ~/testdir && rm -r ~/testdir works well, but 2 first commands && rm -r . won't work being root === jrgp_ is now known as jrgp [05:23] which synaptic package contains the opengl headers? [05:23] http://dokj.wordpress.com/ [05:24] I have 3 wireless Access points in my network which are connected to a router(DHCP enabled) and the DHCP setting in each access point is disabled and they are serving an IP range, but sometimes one of the access points conflict the IP , why this happen? [05:24] Sp0tter: maybe libglut-dev or one of the packages that provides it [05:24] hey, guys hows it going [05:24] Sp0tter: or libglu-dev [05:24] ok [05:24] Sp0tter: there's also libgl-dev [05:25] Sp0tter: they're virtual packages that are provided by other packages [05:25] angel: all ap are on same subnet? [05:25] hmm [05:25] Is there a gui mount utility for an iso file. Maybe a Nautilus add-on? [05:25] i have a question, One of the users on my server (who happens to be the person providing the colo for free) runs steam halflife server under root, ive told him many of times and killed his processes but continues to run as root [05:26] hotelmotel_ yeah [05:26] Does anyone know the default save path for scummvm [05:26] i was woundering if there was a way that would prevent him from running steam under root [05:26] angel: all have unique IP addresses and mac addresses too === anom01y is now known as Loren [05:26] give some type of error message that steam cannot be run under root [05:26] shaun_: you could revoke his sudo/su access [05:26] ok got it, thanks [05:27] well i dont want to piss him off hes hosting my server for free : / [05:27] hotelmotel: yeah they have unique ip address and Mac [05:27] shaun_: if he's hosting it, then you should talk to him about it and explain that it decreases both his security and yours [05:27] shaun_: you must be making him angry by killing his process already. [05:27] angel: weird indeed [05:27] hotelmotel: ofcourse all AP are using one channel e.g:6 [05:27] WHy the hell would you run it under root? [05:28] I installed a copy of Ubuntu 8.04 and after the ubuntu loading screen i get kicked to command line screen that says "Check root= bootarg cat /proc/cmdline or missing modules, divices: cat /proc/modules ls /dev ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/(long string of characters) does not exist. Dropping to a shell! [05:28] he never responds to my messages [05:28] angel: is that because you are using WDS ? [05:28] so he is ignoring me pretty much [05:28] : / [05:28] hotelmotel: what is WDS? [05:28] shaun_: take away root. He will answer. [05:28] he will unplug [05:28] angel: nevermind, that answers that. its wireless distribution service [05:28] rock meet hardplace === nabeel is now known as Guest76787 [05:29] hotelmotel: yes its wireless distribution service [05:29] Bookman, i would rather go about it the discrete way if you know what i mean [05:29] angel: ok, that makes sense. [05:29] shaun_: is it able to run properly without root? [05:30] shaun_: Yes, I understand. [05:30] yeah it is , unless he messed his permissions up by installing as root [05:30] hotelmotel: what do I need to do to resolve this problem? [05:30] shaun_: some systems don't allow binding to ports below 1024 without root [05:30] hes pretty low at the data center he deals with webpages and stuff [05:31] angel: are the static IP address in the same range as the DHCP range? [05:32] I don't recall what program i've ran that refused to run as root. Thought it would be possible to assign some permissions of some kind [05:32] ;/ [05:32] does anyone know where i can get a cheap kvm over ip [05:32] so i can get a friend to fix my pc [05:32] hotelmotel: yeah they are the same range: AP1:192.168.1.100-160 AP2:170-180 AP3: 185-190 [05:33] shaun_: do you really need this server? Is it dedicated? What do you use it for? [05:34] i run webpages and game servers [05:34] i dont need it [05:34] angel: i gotta go, but I would put your static ip addys out of the DHCP range/pool. At least this is how I always handle DHCP and static. good luck [05:34] shaun_: problem solved. [05:34] Bookman, i spent a bit of money on it [05:34] terrible [05:34] : / [05:35] its my own server though quad xeon 8 gigs of ram [05:35] : / [05:35] shaun_: It happens. Move to a cheap host somewhere else. I only pay around $6.00 a month for mine. [05:35] Berzerker: u r there? [05:35] if it's your own server you paid money for the douchebag needs to respect that [05:35] so what if it's at his data center [05:35] it's your machine [05:36] i agree [05:36] I know , im getting awesome internet for free [05:36] thing will push 15megs [05:36] o well [05:36] feel like this is Dr. Laura [05:36] :p [05:36] !hal [05:36] Hal is in the process of being depreciated. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Halsectomy and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardware_abstraction_layer for more info. [05:36] just tell him that he is risking the security of your machine by running that shit under root [05:36] Can someone change "depreciated" to "deprecated"? [05:36] Berzerker: I have sucessfully installed VLC player in my ubuntu PC. My purpose for that is to install VLC player on my ARM-based target(Embedded SYSTEM) board. [05:37] Do you have any suggestions for that? [05:37] Any ops around?

I need to go home and get freenx working now [05:38] Anyone with the power to change ubottu around here? [05:38] Gouda: it's a little tough IIRC. [05:38] easy question: how to type ~ in terminal?

Bye. [05:39] laterz [05:39] CA qwerty [05:39] CaptainCrook: Shift `. [05:39] CaptainCrook: right under escape.

[05:41] The latest release of Ubuntu brings the best open source technologies together on one platform, with the benefit of free updates for 18 months. [05:41] I boot up my PC like everybody but only shows a black screen and keyboard doesn't respond. I just installed Ubuntu 9.04 [05:41] is ubuntu not entirely free then? 18 months? [05:41] how can i repair this problem ? ... [05:41] root@suez:/home/malism# razerd [05:41] Razer device service daemon [05:41] Failed to bind socket to /var/run/razerd/socket: Address already in use [05:41] malism: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:41] ~ [05:41] Burf: updates stop completely after 18 months and the release becomes unsupported [05:41] Burf: Ubuntu is entirely free. The distribution will not be supported for longer than a year and a half though as new features break old systems. [05:41] lstarnes, work! thanks! [05:42] CaptainCrook: is it an english keyboard, or is it french? [05:42] ah - so its just a case of updating to the new version (free) [05:42] Burf: yes [05:42] cool [05:42] Burf: Ubuntu will always be free and open-source. [05:42] i have had a play with linux (YDL) on my ps3 a while back [05:42] MindVirus1: Actually I try to resolve one [05:42] Burf: LTS (long term support) releases such as 8.04 are supported for 3 years for the desktop editions and 5 years for the server editions [05:43] sargento: http://bugs.ubuntu.com [05:43] MindVirus1: some optional components are proprietary, like some device drivers [05:43] lstarnes, CA Multilingual ... [05:43] lstarnes: :) Of course. Ubuntu itself though will be free. [05:43] when you install the new updated version is that a case of running an update or do you need to wipe and install fresh? [05:43] Burf: you can do either [05:43] ok [05:43] Is there any log file that writes down issues? [05:43] thx [05:43] Burf: I just updated to Karmic alpha without reinstalling. [05:44] sargento: check the files in /var/log [05:44] sargento: especially messages, syslog, and dmesg [05:44] karmic alpha - i cant see that [05:44] do they name their versions then? [05:45] Burf: you have to enable updating to development releases [05:45] lstarnes: Thanks, that's what I was looking for [05:45] Burf: you should probably wait until the actual final release of karmic (9.10) before upgrading to it [05:45] well i dont have ubuntu yet so i dont need to [05:45] Hi all, i'm a younger guy of about 21 years old, now i have a problem with my wireless. I am using an older model Toshiba Satellite L300 - LC1 system unit.Intel Celeron and the worst thing is i know my wireless card is on but for some reason my wireless is being a pain, anyone got a better idea as to how to get this card working? [05:45] What's the word I'm looking for... to backup the partition? To make a exact replicate of 1:1 filesystem? !backup does not do it justify. [05:46] leaf-sheep: dd [05:46] just have some Q's on linux - whther converting would be a good idea [05:46] leaf-sheep: you could make an image of the partition using something like dd [05:46] leaf-sheep: dd if=/dev/partition1 of=outputfile.partition [05:46] MindVirus1, lstarnes: This can apply to Windows partition too? [05:46] on yeah i should mention that its also a laptop [05:46] leaf-sheep: anything on the disk [05:47] leaf-sheep: Yes. [05:47] all the software is open source and on YDL i remember there was a program that seached for other programs to download - where do they come from - is the source code approved and how secure is that (i.e whats stopping someone writing a trojan of some kind and having it appear in that list) thx? [05:47] lstarnes: no root needed... what's the format of crontab? looks weird [05:48] Newbuntu2: see man 5 crontab [05:48] lstarnes, MindVirus1: See, I recently got a netbook -- I would like to duplicate the partition (I haven't started it up yet or anything) yet. It's charging up. I suppose I'll have to run disc and command dd to copy? How do I dd to paste? [05:48] leaf-sheep: dd to what? [05:48] Newbuntu2: by default it uses vi or vim for editing. You can change that to nano with EDITOR=nano crontab -e [05:48] leaf-sheep: dd treats your partition like a giant file. [05:48] leaf-sheep: dd if=/dev/sda1 of=backup [05:49] MindVirus1: dd to clone the partition. In the future if I were to return it back to original partition, how would I do that? [05:49] wireless and laptop and linux for some reason i can see don't want to see eye to eye [05:49] leaf-sheep: dd if=backup of=/dev/sda1 [05:49] Burf: the developers that maintain the official repositories and their mirrors make sure that the packages haven't been tampered with [05:49] but the developers can be anyone tho? [05:49] Burf: there are numerous sites and mailing lists that list reported security issues [05:50] Burf: the leaders of the project usually select developers [05:50] MindVirus1: I'd have to run LiveCD or such, right? [05:50] Burf: if it is found that their access is being abused, they will lose it [05:50] leaf-sheep: yes, in most cases. [05:50] but anyone can be a developer tho correct? [05:50] MindVirus1: Sweet. If I were to make dd of a 120GB partition, does that mean 120GB file or only those that applies? [05:50] Burf: anyone can be, but developers are usually chosen very carefully [05:50] How do you move a foldier if it says permission denied? [05:51] good news [05:51] syntax: you may need to use sudo mv folder destination [05:51] does anyone one know where i can find music, because I scratched up my smashing pumkins cd and I want to replace it, I already tried scratch remover and it didn't go well at all. [05:51] didnt work [05:51] pidgin fails when signing in Gmail, it tries to connect then the it freezes(the operation not pidgin) and then it doesnt work [05:51] i realised YDL is quite slow compared to windows - do ou guys notice much difference (and its ok to be honest)? [05:51] Burf: there are some exceptions, like the Personal Package Archives (PPAs) which are maintained by individual users instead of ubuntu's developers and package maintainers [05:52] Burf: ydl is not ubuntu [05:52] yes i realise that i mean linux in genral [05:52] MindVirus1: Ahh, I think I know what I'm going to do. Just want to clarify things up. Thanks. :) [05:52] lstarnes: didnt work..Is there a way i can change permissions on it or something [05:52] Burf: it varies [05:52] leaf-sheep: :) [05:52] Burf: it's usually faster, but some things may be slower [05:52] is there a way to set all media to force mount? [05:52] always force mount* [05:52] may hve been ps3's low ram then [05:52] syntax: what full command are you using? [05:53] what about runing windows programs - i would need VB6 access - is that possible? [05:53] Burf: wine [05:53] emulator? [05:53] If I boot up normally, my PC doesn't startup, only black screen, but If I enter in recovery mode and use xfix and then resume booting, my PC starts up in Ubuntu 9.04, any idea? [05:53] does anyone one know where i can find music, because I scratched up my smashing pumkins cd and I want to replace it, I already tried scratch remover and it didn't go well at all. <<< Amazon.com? [05:53] Burf: wine is a compatibility layer that allows many windows applications to run on linux [05:54] is it fast? [05:54] Burf: it's about average in speed [05:54] Burf: some things are faster in wine than on windows, others are slower or tun at the same speed [05:54] does it require you install windows on the machine too? [05:54] Burf: if it works [05:54] Burf : Do you already have a licensed windows copy ? [05:54] but not everything works, and things that do work don't always run perfectly [05:54] Burf: ussualy it's slower [05:54] Ben64, thank you, but I already purchased once and I have read you can find files on irc. [05:55] i have legit windows yeah [05:55] Burf: Wine is like having Windows without needing to install, like VirtualBox [05:55] syntax: it sounds like a permissions error, likely with a mounted drive [05:55] Burf : that i would suggest to run it under virtualbox [05:55] syntax: you could try cp instead of mv to make a copy instead of moving [05:55] yourstruly: but that would be illegal :( [05:55] Burf: if you need reliable way of running windows applications - windows will be the best choice [05:55] Whoever has experiences to port VLC player on ARM-based target board? [05:55] lstarnes: Ive tryed that as well [05:55] If I already own it? [05:55] jacekowski: lol [05:56] yourstruly: pretty sure, yeah.. I don't agree with those laws though, completely idiotic [05:56] esspecialy games [05:56] how do you find how long your pc has been on? [05:56] i have windows - but im interested in swapping to linux (poss. ubuntu) but as i have a few long term projects in VB6 i would need to be able to run it in linux [05:56] Saik: uptime [05:56] syntax: you could try using it with sudo then using chmod on the copy [05:56] world of warcraft over wine have about 50% fps [05:56] yeah thats too bad, can a person dl linux distros on irc? Kinda wierd question I know. [05:57] lstarnes: How would i go about doing that in the command? [05:57] If I boot up normally, my PC doesn't startup, only black screen, but If I enter in recovery mode and use xfix and then resume booting, my PC starts up in Ubuntu 9.04. [05:57] I need where to find what is it going on, any ideas? [05:57] yourstruly: not usually [05:57] syntax: put sudo before the command [05:57] yourstruly: nobody really does file transfers on irc anymore, more torrents now [05:57] Burf: you may want to consider porting those projects to a more portable language, such as python [05:57] Burf: basicaly - you get what you paid for [05:58] Burf: wine can run many windows applications, and mono can run .NET applications [05:58] jacekowski: wine isn't that bad at all [05:58] it's really an amazing project [05:58] im not complaining - and i dont need to port to another language thank you [05:58] is momo and wine free too? [05:58] mono [05:58] yep. [05:59] Ben64: it's pretty bad. [05:59] you can get mono just by kissing the wrong person. [05:59] I avoid it at all costs. [05:59] ah, I see, well thanks. I have used torrents quite a bit. However I am completely new to irc (your the first person I ever talked to) so I was hoping to learn more about it and try to explore the system. [05:59] Ben64: it's shit [05:59] Burf: Mono and Wine are both free. [05:59] Burf: you won't need Mono for VB6. [05:59] Ben64: wine implements only about 50% of windows api [05:59] jacekowski: newer versions of wine are more complete [05:59] i'm talking about new wine [06:00] jacekowski: irrelevant, windows only supports ~50% of their api [06:00] Wine is a very impressive peice of software, and those who think it's rather bad, don't know much about it [06:00] usaulley [06:00] probly a bad idea conding a windows program in linux anyway [06:00] sebsebseb: it is impressive but fails to function on many levels. [06:00] altough the reverse engingering and time and effort, to make Wine [06:00] It is not enterprise-quality software like the rest of Ubuntu is. [06:00] i run wine almost 24/7, works perfectly for me [06:00] MindVirus1: Wine is not Ubuntu [06:00] can you install windows and linux on the same machine and choose OS on boot up - can that be done? [06:00] Burf: yes [06:00] Wine is a program that Ubuntu and many other Linux distributions can also run [06:01] sebsebseb: Are you arguing for the sake of arguing? I never said anything like that. [06:01] Burf: that is commonly referred to as dual-booting [06:01] Burf: yes, it's called dual-booting. [06:01] MindVirus1: you're the one saying wine is bad, even though it has proven to be quite not bad [06:01] i downloaded ubuntu 9.04 desktop from ubuntu.com, i have windows xp, can i install ubuntu on partition d: ? [06:01] Ben64: it is bad. [06:01] is dual booting fast, i imagine i can only have 1 os running at the same time yes? [06:01] Ben64: it's bad [06:01] What does boostrap log is for? [06:01] Burf: yes and yes [06:01] Burf: correct. and yes, it's fast. [06:01] MindVirus1, jacekowski = same person [06:01] Ben64: it runs maybe 20% of all windows applications [06:01] sargento: /var/log/bootstrap.log ? [06:01] OK.... [06:01] No. [06:01] also, it's not bad [06:02] Ben64: anecdotal evidence is great. [06:02] sounds more and more tempting [06:02] lstarnes: Yes, sorry [06:02] Listen, Ben64, you can stick to your opinion or you can do some reading. [06:02] Either way, I couldn't care less. [06:02] sargento: that looks like it may be an installation log [06:02] Burf: not much to lose in trying it, really. [06:02] hey guys - I've got a question....what do I do if update manager / gdebi is broken [06:02] Burf: time, only. [06:02] jacekowski: so what does it not run [06:02] vlvl: I don't think that's enough information [06:02] VLC SEGMENTATION FAULT HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELP [06:02] Ben64: Any game. [06:02] lies [06:02] true - so long as i dont have to format my HDD to instal it and it can run beside my current OS [06:02] Burf ideally you use a native Linux app, then if there isn't one for what you want to do, you can do Wine or commercial versions of it even, and then if no luck there, you can do Windows virtual machine, and then if still no luck, because it's some rather fancy app or something, psyical Windows install [06:03] lstarnes: I did think so but I'm running Ubuntu right now, just need to use recovery mode to enter and works fine [06:03] also, gj responding to jacekowski's question, therefore cementing that you two are in fact, one [06:03] Hi! Can anybody help me? i have one key broken at my keyboard. i want to use setkeycodes to make another key work instead of it, but can't get the work done [06:03] How do i do this? [06:03] Ben64: not at all can I see what you type. [06:03] Ben64: check my IP. [06:03] /whois MindVirus1 [06:03] What the hell? Why am I trying to prove this to you? [06:03] You're a troll. [06:03] you're the troll [06:03] "Wine won't run any game" [06:03] cmon [06:03] Ben64, MindVirus1: both of you need to stop [06:03] jacekowski: Wine is far from perfect, but Microsoft don't help with Wine, and if they did, I expect it would be awesome [06:03] Ben64: link5000, autocad, rslogix5000, rslogix500, rsview32, b&r automation studio, avr studio, 5xxx for windows, altium designer, [06:03] steve ballmer does a better job trolling [06:04] Burf: Dual booting has no effect on performance at all in my experience [06:04] lstarnes: But I need to enter in Recovery Mode and select xfix almost everytime I start my PC [06:04] Ben64: I'm a few seconds away from reporting you. Back off. [06:04] oh and simcity4 i see can be ran in wine [06:04] MindVirus1: OH NO [06:04] Royall: how do i go about it? [06:04] sebsebseb: microsoft provides everything you need to make wine work [06:04] hey...can we forget about the trolls for a second =) and help me, of course... [06:04] jacekowski: after all they keep on changing ways that software can be made for Windows [06:04] does my bios have to support it? [06:04] Ben64: push me. [06:04] i.e how do i select my OS [06:04] Burf: a menu appears. [06:04] jacekowski: maybe so, and in that case, only for people that know what they are doing [06:04] Burf: GRUB [06:05] can anyone remind me what channel i should go to to talk about karmic? [06:05] sebsebseb: all you need is documentation of winapi [06:05] Burf: you could burn an Ubuntu ISO to a disc to make a Live CD, and then partition your HDD after booting to the CD. See, you can boot to a burned Live CD and try out Ubuntu from there, and make modifications to your HDD from it [06:05] * Ben64 pushes MindVirus1, mkoehler -- what's your problem? [06:05] Burf: the bootloader (either grub or the windows bootloader) can be configured to do that [06:05] sebsebseb: which can be easily found on microsoft website [06:05] brassmaster: #ubuntu+1 [06:05] VLC SEGMENTATION FAULT HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELP [06:05] AnxiousNut: please stop doing that [06:05] !details | AnxiousNut [06:05] AnxiousNut: 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 ..." [06:05] AnxiousNut: #ubuntu+1 [06:05] AnxiousNut: Okay let me just push the "HELLPPPP" button and fix all your problems [06:06] AnxiousNut: seeing as you gave me just enough information to know what the problem is in a civil and composed manner [06:06] sebsebseb: but the thing is that wine will still have to translate winapi calls to linux kernel, x protocol, and other calls [06:06] Hello... to create a directory via ssh, can I use mkdir ../newDIR ?? [06:06] knob: yes [06:06] hi [06:06] thanks [06:06] lstarnes: Any idea?, only found support when you can't enter Ubuntu, but I can [06:06] knob: throogh ssh [06:06] Hi! Can somebody help me? i have a key broken on my keyboard, i need to reassign this key to another one. Permanently, so i would have this key in GNOME, gdm and console [06:06] and will it create it inside the directory I'm at? [06:06] sargento: I'm not exactly sure what needs to be done [06:07] knob: yes [06:07] super :) [06:07] sebsebseb: so unless microsoft will do something really bad to windows performance, wine will never be faster than windows [06:07] jacekowski: well, native Linux apps :) then Wine or commercial versions, and then Windows virtual machine [06:07] thnkS! [06:07] sargento: you may need to reconfigure X [06:07] jacekowski: theres times where performance on wine exceeds windows [06:07] anyone know, how to configure IMAP SERVER ? I am using ubuntu 9.04.. [06:07] jacekowski: faster than Windows, well for what I been using Wine for it's, been the same [06:07] knob: actually, .. creates it in the directory above the current directory [06:07] Ben64: look at benchmark [06:07] im running 9.04, just upgraded my vlc 0.9.9a to vlc 1.0 and now each time i try to launch it, it appears then it dies [06:07] lstarnes: Let my explain you please. I'm on Ubuntu right now, I supposed it means that my actual configuration is perfect, is it correct? [06:07] knob: ~ is short for your home dir, . is short for the current, and .. is short for the one above [06:07] Ben64: it get's worse every version [06:08] jacekowski: he is a troll. He doesn't need benchmarks to evangelize WINE. [06:08] Burf: this is probably what you need: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto [06:08] sargento: aren't you using recovery mode? [06:08] anyone know, how to configure IMAP SERVER ? I am using ubuntu 9.04.. [06:08] MindVirus1: and you're a troll feeder. You're just as responsible for the troll's health. [06:08] lstarnes: Not right now, I'm in normal mode [06:08] http://oreilly.com/linux/archive/dual-boot-laptop.html [06:08] jacekowski: as for Windows games, Linux users should stop playing them :) unless they make for Linux or they work well enough in Wine, idealley [06:08] Hi! Can somebody help me? i have a key broken on my keyboard, i need to reassign this key to another one. Permanently, so i would have this key in GNOME, gdm and console [06:08] googling now - thx man [06:08] http://wiki.winehq.org/BenchMark-0.9.5 [06:08] sebsebseb: i don't care [06:08] launched it in the terminal and it wrote: VLC media player 1.0.1 Goldeneye [06:08] [0x915e140] main libvlc: Running vlc with the default interface. Use 'cvlc' to use vlc without interface. [06:08] Segmentation fault [06:08] ttries cvlc but aint workin [06:08] Royall: Pardon? How's that? He's lying and I am refuting. [06:08] AnxiousNut: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:08] shows there are plenty of instances where wine wins === swoody_ is now known as swoody [06:09] !dualboot | Burf [06:09] Burf: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [06:09] !imap | konza [06:09] konza: IMAP and POP are protocols for fetching email. The officially-supported server in Ubuntu is Dovecot (packages "dovecot-imapd" for IMAP, and "dovecot-pop3d" for POP) - See also !MailServer for information on the SMTP protocol [06:09] Ben64: indeed [06:09] sebsebseb: linux isn't desktop OS [06:09] thx [06:09] jacekowski: it can be used as one [06:09] sebsebseb: people should realize that [06:09] jacekowski: whoa now. [06:09] MindVirus1: lest sleeping dogs lie :P [06:09] jacekowski: why do you say this? [06:09] let* [06:09] Ben64: for example I am amazed at how well Sim City 4 works in Wine, ok the game is from 2003, but older games like that one, are still good [06:09] cut the trollery. [06:09] go to #wine [06:09] most of desktop things are still messy [06:09] sure it is.. if people use it on a desktop, it's a desktop OS [06:09] sound [06:09] graphics [06:09] I don't care if it's about the beverage wine or if it's empty just go there [06:10] lstarnes: I correct my problem by entering in recovery mode and selecting xfix to fix my X problem, and now I'm in normal mode, but when I reboot, I need to enter again in recovery mode and select xfix [06:10] i guess MindVirus1 couldn't hack into me so he's back to trolling [06:10] jacekowski: that's nonsense of coure it is a desktop os, depending on the distribution [06:10] can you dual boot if you install 1 os on one drive and the OS on the other? [06:10] jacekowski: Surely it's just a poorly-polished desktop distro. [06:10] !ops | Ben64 [06:10] Ben64: Help! Channel emergency!

[06:10] Burf: yes [06:10] jacekowski: course even [06:10] sargento: I believe so [06:10] 3 different sound api implementation [06:10] ie, if i have an extra HDD i can leave windows intact and just install linux on other drive - cool [06:10] MindVirus1: what's the problem [06:10] can someone help me figure out what my wifi configuration is? please? [06:10] #ubuntu-offtopic is just around the corner. [06:10] Myrtti: I won't be left alone. [06:10] only nvidia with good linux drivers [06:11] Myrtti: I don't mean to bother.

[06:11] graphic maybe isn't linux developers fault [06:11] but sound is [06:11] jacekowski, #ubuntu-offtopic please [06:11] lstarnes: So the problem must be happening whe I shut down my PC, because I always fix it the same way [06:12] sargento: that is possible [06:13] lstarnes: So, to find out what my problem is, I think the best idea is to look for any log that writes when I shutdown my PC and see what's my PC doing on shutdown, do you agree? [06:13] and there is one thing about commercial software - if it doesn't work you have somebody to blame [06:13] sargento: it is possible that the cause of the problem may not be logged [06:14] jacekowski, this is not the chat channel; please desist [06:14] lstarnes: Any suggestions about it? [06:14] hi [06:14] sargento: I can't think of anything [06:15] lstarnes: Thanks a lot anyway [06:15] I would like to work making a program that can print 6 number from 1 to 38 [06:15] heogen: huh? like random? [06:15] heogen: this not a programming channel. Try #C, #C++, #python, #java, or #bash. [06:15] !programming [06:15] Sorry, I don't know anything about programming [06:16] Meh. [06:16] I didn't use mk ../newDIR I used mk ../newDIR/ and now it's like invisible... how can I remove that file/directory/whateverITis ? [06:16] =\ [06:16] MindVirus1, thank you [06:16] heogen: :) [06:16] knob: rmdir ../newDIR [06:16] knob: to make a directory, use "mkdir" not just "mk" [06:16] hey I'm trying to find a quick way to search a directory / all of its sub-directories to see which files contain a specific string [06:16] MindVirus1, but do you think that I can got it en python? [06:16] anyone know a good way of doing that? [06:17] heogen: Ask #python. [06:17] NetEcho: grep -nHR "string" directory [06:17] lstarnes thanks [06:17] thanks! :) [06:17] MindVirus1, ok [06:17] i am attempting to do: sudo echo "0" > /path/to/thing [06:17] however i gegt an error [06:17] that i do not have permission [06:17] how do i overcome this? [06:17] c1rcuit: echo "0" | sudo tee /path/to/thing [06:17] c1rcuit: echo 0 | sudo tee /path/to/thing [06:17] c1rcuit: chmod 777 /path/to/thing [06:17] yuck [06:18] Those are more elegant solutions. [06:18] * prince_jammys hits MindVirus with a hose [06:18] c1rcuit: or sudo sh -c 'echo "0" > /path/to/thing' [06:18] prince_jammys: I never even thought of that. [06:18] lstarnes: so like grep -nHR "
