[00:00] hi [00:00] Hello! [00:00] !hello | thans [00:00] thans: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [00:00] Thanks! [00:01] vovk, cheers mate! thanks [00:01] I hope i'm in the right place... [00:01] Want to figure out how to install Ubuntu 9.04 server.... [00:01] is there a log that would keep track of crashes? [00:01] SpetsnazX: /var/log/messages [00:02] hello all [00:02] ok, lemme check that out [00:02] ty [00:02] I need some good soundcard help [00:02] well knew i have no idea about how to fix your update-manager problem, but you have two options: 1) doing a fresh install of 9.04 2) update to 9.04 using package manager [00:02] sound blaster live 5.1. aplay -l lists nothing, but lspci shows the card [00:02] lspci -v [00:03] Can smeone help with http://paste.ubuntu.com/264687/ It's a package problem [00:03] Anyone know the limitations as far as resolution and graphics settings go with Team Fortress 2 and wine? [00:03] mm EagleScreen What packages do I need to install ? [00:03] alsamixer shows a 'snd_ctl_open' error [00:03] thans, download the iso, burn it, reboot from the cd, install [00:04] skreech, install package makedev [00:04] knew, you have to update almost all the packages, some of them by hand and most of them automatically [00:04] theatro: I actually want to remove the ipppd package [00:05] I still have to install makedev? [00:05] skreech, report a bug agains ipppd === Bllasae_ is now known as Bllasae2 [00:05] EagleScreen: that the postinst is broken or the depends are broken? [00:05] skreech, no, you get this message when you use a remove command? [00:05] mmm ok, Is there a link to download fluxbuntu 9.04 EagleScreen ? [00:06] In any case I'd still like to remove it [00:06] I get it anytime I touch apt-get [00:06] skreech, it seems a packager fault for me [00:06] Halitech... I did that, and CD was verified. The disk won't boot tho...? [00:06] EagleScreen: It is but right now I just want ipppd gone [00:06] skreech, lets see another packages for it [00:07] thans, bios set to boot from cd? [00:07] hmmmm the messages log doesn't really give me a lead on why my computer is crashing. is there another log that would be useful? [00:07] still not working... [00:07] pepperjack: Okay. I tried the new one. Seems okay but I still get the "Not starting X" -- I now see this in xsession errors --> "Xsession: unable to start X session --- no "/home/xbmc/.xsession" file, no "/home/xbmc/.Xsession" file, no session managers, no window managers, and no terminal emulators found; aborting." Any new suggestion? :) [00:07] Halitech, Yes. I actually tried to install U9 desktop on same machine directly afterward. That worked. [00:08] knew, fluxbuntu 9.04 is experimental [00:08] thans, does the disk work on another machine to start? [00:08] Cannot seem to boot from u9svr dsk tho. even tried to make virtual machine in virtualbox with it. [00:08] EagleScreen: Sorry? [00:08] No, won't boot on any machine. Used 4 disks. [00:08] when i removed the splash command, it wouldnt accept the acpi=force command [00:08] mm ok thanks for all EagleScreen [00:08] thans, I would say bad download and burn [00:09] skreech, what is your ubuntu version? [00:09] Yes, i thought that too. Is there a recommended mirror to pull from? Am getting iso from ubuntu.com [00:09] Jackalope [00:09] SpetsnazX: can you explain what happening when you think it's crashing? [00:09] thans, what country are you in? [00:10] USA. Denver, Co [00:10] thans, can you use bit torrent? [00:10] knew, what will you do? [00:10] thans: bittorrent is recommended [00:10] Haven't tried bittorrent... not sure how. have link with instructions? [00:10] thans, i386 or amd64? [00:10] The Bible says in 1 John 5:13, “These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may KNOW that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.” God wants us to know 100% for sure that we are going to Heaven when we die. He has made the plan of salvation clear and simple. [00:10] There are 3 P’s to the plan of salvation. There is the penalty for sin, the payment for sin and the pardon from sin. God loves you and wants you to receive salvation as a free gift. He wants you to understand it! Let me please point out these great truths from the Bible to you. [00:10] First of all, the Bible says in Romans 3:23 “For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.” That means that all of us are sinners. I’m a sinner, and you’re a sinner. We have all done things that are wrong and we must realize we do not deserve to go to Heaven. [00:10] There is a penalty for sin. We cannot sin and get by with it. Romans 6:23 says, “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift if God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord” The penalty of sin is death. Someday we will all die. Because of our sins, we cannot go to Heaven, but rather will suffer a spiritual death, which is being separated from God forever. So we see that the penalty for sin is eternal death in Hell.

[00:46] I personally would like a full desktop version. [00:46] LucidGuy: if the regular desktop works, I'd stick with it :) [00:46] hi [00:46] LucidGuy, ive recently tried the netbook remix and while not bad, i find it doesn't suit my needs [00:46] every time I run su apt-get install I get /usr/bin/apt-get: /usr/bin/apt-get: cannot execute binary file [00:46] Can someone help me troubleshoot suspending/resuming on my system? Suspend seems to work ok (although it takes a LONG time.. like 3 minutes) and then resuming just doesn't work, screen comes up but it's blank with a little flashing bar at the top. I've tried sshing in, but it doesn't work.. i don't think it resumes at all. I have also tried: sync; echo 1 > /sys/power/pm_trace; pm-suspend ... but that doesn't reveal any hash match [00:46] es in my dmesg [00:47] hi [00:47] marko, use sudo instead of su [00:47] I want to know how to add my script to rc.local [00:47] marko, just run sudo apt-get install [00:47] to be runned [00:47] When it comes to kernel/hardware detection does the remix version support netbooks better .. or is the full desktop version just as good? [00:47] why was it working before ? [00:47] LucidGuy: i think they run the same kernel [00:47] LucidGuy: Hardware detection will be identical. [00:47] LucidGuy, i think it's the same [00:48] well that's pretty much confirmed lol [00:48] cool .. going for the full version. Giving Ubuntu a try on the toshiba nb200 .. I think im going to have a bumpy ride. [00:48] hello everyone [00:48] LucidGuy: i have the NB205 [00:48] LucidGuy, it's good to expect the worst ;-) [00:48] not too bad [00:48] I have some problems with a particular wireless network under ubuntu [00:48] !help [00:48] 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. :-) [00:48] that way you'll be pleasantly surprised when things work [00:48] clear [00:48] there's a good thread on the ubuntu forum about it [00:49] can anyone help me ? [00:49] SirFunk, any advice? .. I know right off the bat the wireless is going to be an issue but im hoping after I get the latest kernel Ill be ok. Have you resolved all hardware issues with Ubuntu? [00:49] LucidGuy: well sound won't work out of the speaker [00:50] SirFunk, Ever? [00:50] I can connect to most wireless networks without much problems, but I haven't been able to connect at all with the campus network at the university. Any ideas? [00:50] SirFunk, does it work out of the headphones? [00:50] thanks for helping me. [00:50] LucidGuy: there's patches and test kernels that will work [00:50] scott_ino2: with some line in the modules.conf [00:50] LucidGuy: I'm not too sure really, i'm running karmic on mine [00:50] LucidGuy-> wifi stuff is not a module included or compiled in the kernel [00:50] SirFunk, were you able to get all hardware up and running after patches etc. [00:50] LucidGuy: let me find you the forum thread [00:50] SirFunk, only reason i ask is because i had strange sound issues and have to use the latest alsa driver [00:51] SirFunk, was just wondering... ty [00:51] Anybody here running XBMCBUNTU, please paste the content of your ~/.xsession in a pastebin. Thank you. [00:51] whats a good irc client for unbuntu? [00:51] I want to know how to add my script to rc.local.

Kinda curious sorry ? [00:52] ty [00:52] Kheops-> those are just regular text files you can edit with vim or emacs, make a copy before modifying [00:52] how do I put them on rc.local [00:52] ? [00:52] no ideas, then? [00:52] marko-> what was the exact command you used? [00:53] Kheops-> edit the subject file [00:53] I have a script and I want to be executed on every reboot. [00:53] every time I run su apt-get install I get /usr/bin/apt-get: /usr/bin/apt-get: cannot execute binary file [00:53] tried connecting manually through the command line, but no dice. It gets stuck in the DHCPDISCOVER part [00:53] It used to work. I know I can use sudo....it just bugs me [00:53] how do I do It ? [00:53] marko, how did su work before on ubuntu? it doesn't use su unless you do [00:53] How do I find out where miro installed to? It didn't create any icons or anything when I installed it [00:54] SirFunk, thanks .. so do you currently have your system fully working on Karmic? Did Karmic support everything out of the box, or did you also have to tweak? [00:54] marko, what happens when you type su at the command line? [00:54] Gouda1: go to terminal and do a "find / -name miro" without the quotes [00:54] pfffff can anyone help me to put my script to rc.local to be executed at every reboot ?! [00:54] Kheops-> are you familiar with SysV style rc.d? man update-rc.d [00:54] LucidGuy: I think karmic has basically the same problems as jaunty.. I got fed up with some 'old' software versions in jaunty, so i switched.. but i think as far as hardware goes they are about the same [00:55] n8tuser : just tell how can I put my script on rc.local ? [00:55] Hmmmmmm, lots of directoires [00:55] Kheops-> do you ever read what i posted to you? [00:55] n8tuser : you don't post anything [00:55] SirFunk, alright, but are you good now.. with everything? including internal speakers? [00:55] n8tuser : you can help or not ? [00:55] marko, your su file may have been removed [00:55] Kheops-> those are just regular text files you can edit with vim or emacs, make a copy before modifying <-- see this? [00:55] Gouda1: the file is solely "miro" without anything before or after [00:56] n8tuser : k I got it. you can't help. [00:56] pfffff can anyone help me to put my script to rc.local to be executed at every reboot ?!? [00:56] My issue: http://pastebin.com/m6b72c12a [00:56] Kheops: be a bit more respectful. [00:56] thanks Linux. Apparently it installed into usr/bin [00:56] I'm. [00:56] just didn't create any icons or anything. Will have to create one myself [00:56] Gouda1: don't thank me, thanks Linux :) [00:57] so, I must stay 10 years on this channel to be help ? [00:57] lol [00:57] Kheops, ?? really are you serious right now [00:57] :P [00:57] !patience | Kheops [00:57] Kheops: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. [00:57] Kheops, ppl here dont have to help you.... [00:57] !boot > Kheops [00:57] Kheops, please see my private message [00:58] Quasar1048: er um ... why arn't you installing from the repository?... this is ubuntu support - which means the supported versions (in the repository) if you are compiling yourself... we cannot help you [00:59] because I was told earlier that something was wrong with my repos [00:59] I cant install what I need to build the package. [00:59] That link pretty much sums it up... [01:00] bastid_raZor : yes I want to use /etc/rc.local [01:00] I screwed up I know what I did wrong. I went in the history the nub in me thought he was using su in some commands and he was not. [01:00] #konversation guys said it was a repo issue and sent me here... [01:00] bastid_raZor : how I add my script there ? === abc_ is now known as Guest76170 [01:00] I fail [01:01] marko, lesson learned ;-) [01:01] marko, if you learned then you didn't fail :) [01:01] su I take it is not meant to do apt gets correct? [01:02] can anyone tell me this year how to add 1 script to be autoloaded by the rc.local ?! [01:02] marko, su isn't meant to be used at all [01:02] correct [01:02] did you see that link i sent you [01:02] only sudo right? [01:02] I'll scroll back up [01:02] sudo is the prescribed method for apt-get [01:02] Kheops: add your script that file. [01:02] Quasar1048: shouldn't be ... konversation is stable... if you want bleeding edge it is already compiled here https://launchpad.net/%7Ekubuntu-ppa/+archive/experimental/+sourcepub/714891/+listing-archive-extra [01:02] how ?! [01:02] marko, yeah it explains the difference [01:02] It dosen't load. [01:03] fccf: Oh yey! I've been watching that, hoping it would be done! [01:03] I've try cd /example/ [01:03] and then ./script [01:03] dosen't work. [01:03] Quasar1048: I can find anything [01:03] oh... I cant use those. [01:03] Hey I created some new users on Ubuntu Server, but when I log in with them I don't have the nice Bash bells and whistles that come with the admin user like color prompt and tab completetion [01:03] i already have a tarball of it... [01:03] Kheops-> use source, man source for details [01:04] its half complete.. just need help with Cmake [01:04] n8tuser : thanks for your help, but I realy need help. [01:04] Kheops-> i guess no man for source, but use the full path instead [01:04] I've used all path [01:04] and I've tried another method.. [01:04] I need a .deb of it... [01:04] Anyone know how to setup a telnet server on ubuntu i installed telnetd but its still net letting me connect to localhost. [01:05] . /example/script [01:05] dosen't work. [01:05] Kheops-> you need to learn a bit more about scripting, you can try #bash for assistance in debugging [01:05] LOL ? [01:05] Quasar1048: the one on the ppa is already compiled, the tarball is probably a different version of the code... this way you won't have to make/er Cmake [01:05] aaronorosen: any particular reason you can't use ssh? [01:05] I don't need to learn about scripting. All I need it's to autoload on reboot my command ! [01:06] I'm using Ubuntu, I was trying to add my user (administrator) to a new group but it appears that I've erased the previous primary groups because I used the command "usermod -g" and I got locked out of the administration group, now I got back into it but I have a problem that in gnome menu I can't find the add/remove programs and when I try to unlock the usermanager to get administrative privilages it just freez, any ideas? [01:06] So, can anyone on this 1349 users, know how to do this ?! [01:06] gartral: its for a class and our teacher wants use to use wireshark to show that telnet is insecure. [01:06] fccf: the .diff and .dsc? [01:06] I already tried the tarball there, doesnt work any better than the ones i have [01:06] Kheops private message me I think I can help [01:06] Quasar1048: the .deb is the debian apt installer... everything you need minus dependencies [01:07] hello [01:07] moustafa-> go to single user mode and edit using command lines instead of gui [01:07] hi, I need your help, i can't to connect to my wire network [01:07] gartral: its not seeming to create the configuration files in /etc/init.d/inet.d [01:07] I know.. its easier. The version I want isn't in the repos, or available via .deb as far i know. [01:07] heogen-> on same computer you are chatting with us now? [01:07] when I installed wicd [01:07] Does anybody know how to set up Xorg? For some reason, I need to set up .xsession file [01:07] that is a problem isn't it [01:07] Kheops: you need to add the full path. [01:08] and I don't add it ?

[01:08] n8tuser, I was able to get my user back to the administrator group, it's just these applications which doesn't work. And I don't know how to fix it, is their any groups should be listed as primary groups other than the admin group? [01:08] Kheops: look at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/226503 maybe this includes you. [01:08] heogen: give some more details about your problem (on one or two lines if possible) [01:08] lets see [01:09] k [01:09] Quasar1048: this one should install without problem... sorry the alpha6 isn't compiled yet, and probably won't be... try this https://launchpad.net/~kubuntu-ppa/+archive/experimental/+files/konversation-dbg_1.2~alpha1-1ubuntu1~jaunty1~ppa4_i386.deb [01:09] what is your problem [01:09] moustafa-> i dont know which group the app has to belong to.. more details please [01:09] gartral: any idea how do it sorry. [01:09] if you have problem with internet how are you talking with us [01:09] moustafa, here are the groups I belong to dialout cdrom floppy audio video plugdev [01:09] fccf: I already have alpha4 [01:09] ..wanted to upgrade [01:09] how is it [01:10] i am using 9.04 [01:10] n8tuser, The only user group my account belongs too which is listed in the /etc/passwd is 121 which is the admin group.

[01:11] Quasar1048: then we can't support you here... you are talking about compiling un-tested code... And that by defination is un--supported [01:11] join #fringe [01:11] n8tuser, I remembered I have other linux installation on a VM I'll check the output for the /etc/passwd of the admin and compare it with the current one, if I got lost I'll get back to you. [01:11] MoeGreen, filezilla [01:12] fccf: thank you. You've been more helpful than anyone. If thats the case, then I'll either wait until its supported, or just VM tke alph release of Karmic. I hear it comes standard with alpha6. [01:12] k thx [01:12] moustafa: You don't need to view /etc/passwd or /etc/groups, just type "groups username" (where username is the user) and you'll get a list [01:12] any truth to that? [01:12] moustafa-> okay..if i dont respond right away, just be patient and wake me up in a few then [01:12] Quasar1048: you should be asking in #ubuntu+1 :) [01:12] Quasar1048: there is #ubuntu+1 ... would be the next step [01:13] Flannel, Admin and media I guess I should add the group moustafa, which has my username right?

[01:21] aaronorosen-> yeah like a netcat.. [01:21] Hey I created some new users on Ubuntu Server, but when I log in with them I don't have the nice Bash bells and whistles that come with the admin user like color prompt and tab completetion [01:21] heogen: you should go to wicd.sf.net and add the wicd repository to ensure you are using the latest version hegoen [01:21] linux it is wicd 1.5.9 [01:21] bastid_raZor : It will work like this /bin/sh /example/myscript ?

[01:57] :> [01:57] ForestBear: give it a go [01:57] ok brb [01:57] STiiVO, no problem, you'r learning ;) [01:57] linux it shows my USB headset by name, no listing for /dev that I can see [01:57] kelletim: ok got it [01:58] slayerboy: that and a lsb in terminal were my only suggestions, maybe others have more here [01:58] hipitihop, i was tempted to do that but will that allow me to use webcamstudio to stream video to ustream with sound too? [01:58] kelletim: as far as command line, im not sure how to try that.. never did run a song from commandline [01:58] slayerboy: you can use lsusb to find the /dev i think [01:58] yeah this is actually what im studying at uni at the moment [01:58] hello [01:58] lol [01:59] !hi | zack [01:59] zack: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [01:59] ogg123 filename [01:59] hi ya i was wondering about a prob im having [01:59] rigodeni: I believe this bypasses the audio settings in gnome [01:59] !ask | zack [01:59] zack: 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. :-) [01:59] kelletim: problem persists after doing "ALSA" for music and sound, and restarting Audacious... to elaborate... its more of a skipping than a distortion [01:59] what is the default dvd player in ubuntu [02:00] out of the box [02:00] forensicneophyte: there isn;t one, for legal reasons [02:00] I was trying down load a manual at acers site and the button just doesnt respond..im running ubuntu with the latest firefox [02:00] kelletim: "Music and Movies" i meant [02:00] mneptok: if theres no css, isn't it movie player? [02:00] aneptok aren't you talking about the codecs and not the player [02:00] what media player is default in ubuntu? out of the box [02:01] linux: Totem [02:01] forensicneophyte: Totem [02:01] mneptok oh yeah that's right. thanks [02:01] linux, ok thanks...lsusb shows it as device #8. I might try hipitihop's suggestion of portaudio and see how that goes [02:01] forensicneophyte: soon to be brasero [02:01] Well I figured it out my 1024x768 at anything higher than 60hrts breaks my moniter [02:01] thats why my screen gose black [02:01] :( [02:02] * [0]mlette calmly kills [sZ]DoomKitty. [02:02] Jeruvy so brasero is more than just a burner [02:03] [0]mlette: who? and do you have anything meaningful to add to the discussion here? [02:03] forensicneophyte: thats my understanding. I've only tested it on karmic for a little bit. [02:03] did anyone else end up with a non-working mplayer after the last ubuntu version upgrade? [02:03] mneptok: didn't work. [02:03] stefan_: i did, but i compiled mplayer from source and it worked (was on a x64 system on x32 ubuntu) [02:03] ForestBear: lsmod | grep ath [02:04] ForestBear: see any Atheros kernel modules loaded? [02:04] mneptok: i was just doing that :) [02:04] does anyone know why ssh -w 0:0 root@ip is not creating a tun0 interface for me? [02:04] mneptok: nope [02:04] anyone know why firefox wont allow allow to down laod a manual at Acer's site, I click on the button and nothing happens [02:04] ForestBear: try loading the ath5k module manually [02:04] aaronorosen: are you running it as root or sudo? [02:04] mneptok: with modprobe? [02:04] ForestBear: quite right [02:05] linux i'm running that exact command. I'm ssh in as root. === [0]mlette is now known as Omlette [02:05] mneptok: i have to restart again now right? [02:05] STiiVO, when you right-click on the folder to share, do you did you check all the 3 options ? [02:05] linux its giving me this error in the terminal channel 0 open failed administratively prohibited open failed [02:05] ForestBear: no [02:05] STiiVO, in Ubuntu [02:05] zack you might just want to try it again in a day or two. I know that sounds kind of stupid, but firefox can have problems like that/ [02:05] linux, thanx. i didnt compile it. my cpu gets over heated when it compiles stuff, at least it did when it was my roommate's cpu :P [02:05] yes [02:05] ForestBear: if you do, the module gets unloaded [02:06] ForestBear: and it appears the module is not loading automagically [02:06] hm ok [02:06] ok ssounds good thanks [02:06] stefan_: you can compile it when not using the computer and ctrl+z (to pause it) while in use and fg (in terminal) to resume [02:06] now in Windows from Explorer do a //ubuntu/folder (is Ubuntu the server name?) [02:06] ForestBear: does "ifconfig" (no quotes) now show the wireless device? [02:06] could it be something set incorrectly from my virtualbox coz both xp and ubuntu cant see my actual workgroup but my host (vista) can see them both just no access [02:06] linux any idea? [02:07] mneptok: no [02:07] aaronorsen: no, sorry, i have no others, others here might if you stick around === monteith is now known as zz_monteith [02:07] ForestBear: may be that that particular Atheros chipset is not supported by the ath5k module [02:07] mneptok: should i try removing it and putting it back in? [02:07] how do i figure out when ubuntu package managers will start using postgres8.4 instead of 8.3.7? [02:07] ForestBear: is this an Apple machine? [02:07] mneptok: should i try ndiswrapper? [02:08] mneptok: you mean the processor? [02:08] ForestBear: the laptop/dekstop itself [02:08] STiiVO, yes, how do you have the network set in virtualbox ? [02:08] * mneptok saw some Apple stuffs in lsusb [02:08] how do i copy and paste from xterm?

[02:10] Linux and i learned the problem was with the python installation [02:10] stefan_: i have found from use around 1.4 GHz processors [02:10] linux, I learned the wicd depend to python [02:10] so the proccessor is really the bottle-neck? [02:11] heogen: its programmed in python, but it shouldn't let you install without that dependence [02:11] where do i set it bridged from pls? [02:11] heogen: report that as a bug to wicd.sf.net [02:11] anyone know how do i copy and paste from xterm?

Don't select the whole line, just the text [02:20] any one can help me with my wifi adapter " netgear wn11 " [02:20] I just installed git-gui from the package manager, but can't find it in the applications menu.

Just selecting text and pasting with the device [02:21] is there a way to change the username in ubuntu so that i can change the way it appears in workplace?

[02:22] genii: g0bl1n: still no go, o well [02:22] i'll have to screenshot it [02:22] aaronorosen: probably because root is prohibited. [02:23] Jeruvy: no it will let me login as root to the other server. You have to be root to do the ssh vpn tunneling unless you configure sudo. [02:23] linux, do not select the whole line. Try to select (highlight) just 2 or 3 chars of text [02:23] then, press both mouse buttons [02:23] g0bl1n: i need several lines of code though [02:23] aaronorosen: that would be my thought on it, I use sudo (as directed) [02:24] <`Matir> aaronorosen, do you have PermitTunnel yes in your server? [02:24] is there a way to change the username in ubuntu so that i can change the way it appears in workplace??

Or not ? [02:25] oh ok [02:25] thanks [02:25] g0bl1n: i did, i'll have to youtube it, a screenshot will work for now (fits all in one screen) [02:25] :) [02:25] <`Matir> aaronorosen, try adding -vvv in to your ssh command and putting the output into a pastebin... maybe there's something more detailed [02:26] any one plsSSSSSsssssss : any one can help me with my wifi adapter " netgear wn11 " [02:26] linux, "youtube", lol, the 21st century :) xterm is soooo last century though :) [02:26] linux, but I use it everyday on my netbook with mutt the best email client around [02:26] /list [02:27] new plan why dont you just pipe the output to a file and open it in nano [02:27] g0bl1n: its blazing fast, but if i copy and paste, i'll have to revert to gnome-terminal, thanks though, such simple instructions i can't process tonight :) [02:27] guys, im on ubuntu 9.04 amd64, and im getting a strange skipping in my sound when playing my ogg files, it seems to happen accross ANY music player i use... and seems to increase in intensity when i scroll quickly in firefox, or firefox is loading a page. [02:27] `Matir: would you mind looking at that debug for me ? http://pastebin.com/m56d8c8a0 [02:28] linux, gnome-terminal is a trully powerfull app, but a bit heavier :) [02:28] I don't see anything wrong off hand. [02:28] <`Matir> aaronorosen, sure [02:28] there, shift-ctrl-c works [02:28] `Matir: Thanks :D [02:28] rigodeni: what processor speed do you have, i have had this problem with slower processors [02:28] well, g'night ;) [02:28] linux: its a quad core 3.0ghz [02:29] any one can help me with my wifi adapter " netgear wn11 " [02:29] linux: AMD Phenom 2 X4 940 [02:29] How is it possible to save mms live videos with good quality ?yes mimms is a software that perform this but no good quality. [02:29] `Matir: it says in there debug1: remote failed to open the tunnel device. [02:29] <`Matir> aaronorosen, what kind of server are you connecting to? Ubuntu? [02:29] rigodeni: forget my question then, i have no answer [02:29] `Matir: yup. [02:29] `Matir: do you want me to paste my sshd_config too? [02:30] !ephipany | linux [02:30] Sorry, I don't know anything about ephipany [02:30] thienhaxanh_609 [02:30] any one pls [02:31] how can i install ephipany in ubuntu?

[02:31] anybody has installed an ubuntu in an iMac ...? :S [02:31] i wlan adapter [02:31] abdullah: ubuntu [02:31] Hey Ive just made new users on Ubuntu Server but when I log into them they dont have the bash bells and whistles like color highliighting and tab completetion, I tried copying the admin's .bashrc and .profile int the users home directory but its not working [02:31] yes ubuntu [02:32] i have a netgear wn11 wlan adapter [02:32] it's not workening [02:32] `Matir: http://pastebin.com/m59126df5 [02:33] So ? [02:33] abdullah: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=272136&postcount=1 [02:34] trying this [02:34] <`Matir> aaronorosen, no tun0 device currently exists on the remote side, right? You could try with just -w 0 to use any available tun on the remote side. (e.g., no :0 at end of arg to -w) [02:35] abdullah: you will need to edit the filenames in those commands but I believe you can get your router working [02:35] `Matir: that seemed to fix the problem [02:35] how could i fix the temperature in an iMac ? i have installed ubuntu :S [02:35] How is it possible to save mms live videos with good quality ?yes mimms is a software that perform this but no good quality. [02:35] It also created a pan0 device any idea what that is? [02:35] what ? [02:35] `Matir: any idea why i had to drop the :0 to make it work? [02:35] any files? [02:36] Hey Ive just made new users on Ubuntu Server but when I log into them they dont have the bash bells and whistles like color highliighting and tab completetion, I tried copying the admin's .bashrc and .profile int the users home directory but its not working [02:36] <`Matir> aaronorosen, if there was already a tun0 device in use by another process on the other side [02:37] `Matir: I actaully have a tun0 device but that only shows when i run ifconfig -a.. perhaps i have to bring it up with ifconfig tun0 up? Shouldnt it be up when i do the ssh or should i have to manually bring it up? [02:37] is transmission best client for ubuntu? [02:37] !best [02:37] 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. [02:38] !torrent > bravo03 [02:38] bravo03, please see my private message [02:38] <`Matir> aaronorosen, another app might be using that one... so ssh might be using tun1 or something like that, if you have one [02:38] bravo03, rtorrent is a good alternative to transmission and so is deluge. [02:38] where can i find out how to set up a second network card on my ubuntu server? [02:38] thx, ubottu [02:39] bravo03: the bot says you're welcome [02:39] if i just remove gdm package i get text login or no login at all? [02:39] hey, can i ask you guys a quick question [02:39] danny: ask away [02:39] lol [02:40] When i try to use flash and stuff, like pandora.com all that comes up is a big gray circle with a play button in it [02:40] do i need to just click on it or what? [02:40] graphic: I think the color stuff mught be dependent on some package as well... [02:40] !flash | danny [02:40] danny: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [02:42] thanks :P [02:42] Whenver I use flash, my browser lags even when I am not using flash such as watching youtube videos... Is there a fix to this? [02:42] Alsa 1.0.21 not getting into Karmic ? Will it make itself into Karmic+1 ? [02:42] is there a channel for java help? [02:42] arand but it works for the admin account just none of the new accounts [02:42] `Matir: I'm only seeing tun0 on one computer not on both sides? Any idea why that is occuring? [02:43] has anyone had any luck getting a usb mic working with flash? I'm trying to get Ustream to recognize it and all it says is "Linux Mic" [02:43] anybody using VMware ? which one do i want, to have another OS run in a window over Ubuntu ? [02:43] Loafers, usually some comercials takes alot cpu on browser windows, you could install some adblock addon ... or if using old Firefox there was some known bug in rendering thing. [02:43] Loafers, Was fixed in 3.5 however. [02:43] graphic: and the .bashrc is available to those users, and readable? [02:43] jasa, I have adblock enabled. Would icedtea be better? [02:43] seems so [02:44] the users own them [02:44] <`Matir> aaronorosen, not really, to be honest... is it passing traffic? [02:44] Loafers, you mean java instead of flash or what you meant with that ? [02:44] `Matir: what do you mean by passing traffic? [02:45] mneptok: got it running with ndiswrapper and the driver SMC had on their site [02:45] graphic: if you do "source ~/.bashrc with the user? [02:45] jasa, meant flash, forgot icedtea was meant for jre [02:45] <`Matir> aaronorosen, are you able to use the tunnel? [02:45] nope haha [02:45] i have to have a tun0 device on both sides to use it? [02:45] let me trys that [02:46] graphic: but if you login with the user I think it's done automatically... [02:46] Loafers, well hard to say anything wise on flash "jerkiness" but if you use x86_64 environment there is the specific one made for it and no need to run x86 thru the ndiswrapper. [02:47] graphic: worth a try though, you might even get an error to hunt... [02:47] jasa, hmm thanks for the help :) i guess i'll install an older v ersion of flash or something [02:48] `Matir: i got it i didn't have the right stuff in my sshd_config file on one of the boxes sorry [02:48] Loafers, one thing that might help on things could be removing the smooth scrolling feature from settings, but i think it only effects on how the browser renders page when using mouse wheel to move downwards, makes it look more smooth movement.

It made it even slower :D [02:48] Loafers, Also if you have 3.0 instead of 3.5 there was one rendering issue known cause of some fonts, i don't remember currently and don't feel like googling for that either, but it was removed in 3.5 [02:48] I didn't realize i didn't have to PermitTunnel yes on the client side (the box i was ssh from) [02:49] Loafers, well i'll have to admit your name just got my eye on the other persons list as there was some German Quaker named Loafer or something similiar. =) [02:50] jasa, :) different person [02:50] hey all !! 1 question please, if i got my disk partitioned and formated, and in my partition table i got the starting and ending sectors of partitions, why i need to make it bootable with sysinux or any other bootstarper?

But don't go further than 2gb, that's not necessary [02:55] then keep with 1.5-2 gb [02:55] miguelonnnnn: I dunno but I heard Windows can crash your system. [02:55] graphic: so those users are not allowed to use source? [02:55] miguelonnnnn: I do plan on setting up hibernate and sleep [02:55] that's all you need [02:55] `Matir: do you know what iface is its should let me configure it so i don't hvae to run ssh -w each time?

I'm using a clean install of 9.04, but the problem user's home is old (copied from a previous install of 9.04) [03:10] mdg, i've always done windows => windows, linux => linux, or windows=>linux. still, if your company offers a secure VPN connection, that might be your best bet [03:10] I have a problem with my sound in ubuntu 9.04 (current) [03:10] I can't hear anything, whatsoever. [03:10] but it looks like everything with alsamixer is fine. [03:10] can anyone help me out? [03:10] prolly /etc/groups [03:10] let me look at mine [03:11] Angie, you MAY need to recompile alsa drivers... last time i had to do that on my laptop was a year ago tho. lemme look up the wiki [03:11] please i need help is really quick answer please, why after setting sda1 parttion as bootable, and everthing well configured (start block, end block and so on ) with fdisk, do i need to install syslinux on the mbr to make it bootable? why can't the usb boot without that bootstrap code? [03:11] Vovk, but why would my sound just stop working? [03:11] <_ala> apt-get install build-essential, it says it has been the latest version, but compiling c++ program, it outputs some include header files can not find [03:11] Angie: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting [03:11] Angie, aah... it was working before? [03:11] Vovk, uh, yeah ... [03:11] Angie, are your speakers plugged in? :) does it work with headphones? etc [03:12] Vovk: they are going to setup something like gotomypc... I think... [03:12] no and no [03:12] remind me wats the file called that controls the video settinsg [03:12] I have a laptop, with built in speakers [03:12] I tried with earphones and same deal [03:12] mdg: -_- no help there. you can always try it and see what happens :D [03:12] angie:u rebooted? [03:12] Stunts, twice [03:12] Angie, did the sound suddenly fade to nothing within a few (10-15) seconds? [03:12] Vovk: thanks again for your help and advice :) [03:13] my brother just got a Linux NetworX Evolocity Blade can you put ubuntu on it? [03:13] mdg, ^_^ that's why I'm here (sort of... i still haven't gotten help with my networking woes :( ) [03:13] _ala, build-essentials is just that. essentials. more esoteric c++ libraries are not included [03:13] I can SSH into my server with my RSA key just fine, but if I edit one character in the id_rsa file, it will still let me connect with the edited id_rsa. Is that normal? It only seems to let me login if I edited the lower half of the key. If i change a character in the top half, it doesn't let me login with it (which is normal). Any ideas? [03:13] whats that file called again that controls video settings for the gfx card? [03:13] problem/question: cannot blacklist b43-pci-bridge; it's preventing (?) ndiswrapper from claiming my broadcom 4306 [03:13] Vovk, what do you think [03:13] Vovk: what kind of networking woes? [03:14] Flannel, here? [03:14] Angie, "i think" that i had a problem with that a few months ago where the sound would randomly fade out if you plugged in headphones [03:14] Hey guys, Ive used gparted in ubuntu to resize an HFS+ partition and it worked great. do you think the gparted livecd should be just as safe or even better? or is it different from the gparted that is on ubuntu? thanks [03:15] Vovk: its not working with or without headphones [03:15] mdg, wanna turn a spare laptop/ubuntu box into a gateway to forward a wireless connection to some machines connected to it with wires [03:15] ugh [03:15] Andorin, i know that. I'm saying that my issue was that when you plugged headphones in, everything faded to nothingness, and no sound came out of anything at all [03:15] Andorin, sorry andorin, mistell [03:15] anyone own a MacBookPro 5,2? [03:15] my brother just got a Linux NetworX Evolocity Blade can you put ubuntu on it? [03:15] Angie, i know that. I'm saying that my issue was that when you plugged headphones in, everything faded to nothingness, and no sound came out of anything at all [03:16] b43-pci-bridge appears as the driver (lshw -C Network) even though b43 doesn't appear in lsmod [03:16] blue0488, just try it :P [03:16] Vovk, what do I do? [03:16] blue, sounds like a sword=p [03:16] plz remind me wat that file is called that controls the video settings, its like x.org or sumthn === montylounge_ is now known as montylounge [03:16] Angie, I just want to know. if there are no headphones in the computer, and it reboots, is the sound still broken? [03:16] Vovk: you mean kinda like a router? [03:16] Vovk, yes [03:16] Stunts, /etc/X11/xorg.conf [03:17] I installed ubuntu and then everything goes fine. The next thing i know is .. the screen display is grainy .. and you literally can't make out a thing .. [03:17] mdg, hehe... turning a spare laptop into a router yes :D except i want the router to get it's internet connection wirelessly and share with wires [03:17] Im looking for someone else who has a MacBook Pro 5,2 and has the express card slot working [03:17] <_ala> kahen: but how to install esoteric c++ libraries, it is related to the iostream header file, it can find iostream, but some file included in the iostream can not be found, such as bits/xxx.h [03:17] what should i do ? [03:17] Angie, :( follow that sound troubleshooting guide [03:18] hey. Got a toshiba laptop I am working on with an Intel Celeron processor :( Once the CPU fan kicks on, it doesnt turn off, even though the laptop is cool. Is there something I cna do to have better powermanagement with regards to the cpu fan? [03:18] Vovk, which one? [03:18] _ala, sounds like you're missing some other library to me. read the README and other documentation that came with the source to see what libraries you need [03:18] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting [03:18] Angie, i'll start you off :) what happens if you give the command "aplay -l" [03:19] Vovk: more like a bridge then.. [03:19] Vovk: $ aplay -l [03:19] **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** [03:19] card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: STAC92xx Analog [STAC92xx Analog] [03:19] Subdevices: 1/1 [03:19] Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 [03:19] Angie: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[03:19] lawl [03:19] oops [03:19] Angie, yeah... you wanna use pastebin ;) [03:19] i can't make out nothing from the screen. Should i look for display drivers ? [03:19] :/ [03:20] mdg, yeah. there are a bunch of guides for it but i can't get it working [03:20] Vovk, I sent you a /QUERY [03:20] Angie, anyway, your sound card is being detected [03:20] Vovk: yeah === lb__ is now known as vo|d [03:21] Vovk: what kind of equipment you using? [03:21] o ty [03:22] If I have a PPA that offers the same package as the regular Ubuntu repos, but a newer version, will using apt-get install by default install the newer version from the PPA? [03:23] can ubuntu use lightscribe DVD technology? [03:23] avidal: Usually [03:23] if i was to go about fixing the xorg.conf file, but it was from the setup files, where would i be looking [03:23] genii: is there a way to be sure i'm getting the right package? [03:24] mdg, a dell inspiron 1720 with a crappy broadcom wireless card, some cat5e cables and a gigabit switch [03:24] avidal: apt-cache policy shows the installed version, possible candidates and their repos [03:24] Vovk: broadcom.... [03:25] mdg, well.. it's dells wireless card with a broadcom chipset [03:25] mdg, the point is, i've had trouble with it in the past, but it's all i've got [03:25] avidal, i think it's possible to set priorities for different repos if more than 1 provides a package with the same name. however i've never had to use that myself [03:25] um in the setup files for ubuntu would it help if i deleted some models on blacklist? cause it looks like some could be compatable with my card [03:25] im not that technical yet with linux... [03:25] Vovk: if you can afford a belkin F5D7050 USB adapter ($35 or so) you might have better luck. [03:26] Stunts, you shouldn't need to do that [03:26] would that possibly fix anything? [03:26] Stunts, do a "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" [03:26] i dont have linux even installed yet [03:26] i cant get it to install [03:27] Stunts, ahh... then you want the alternate install disk [03:27] the refresh rate goes out of range when kernel initializes [03:27] Stunts, it gives a text only installer, then you can configure from there [03:27] i dont suuppose i can run the alternate alongside windows? [03:27] hey all, I am sshed into a machine that is running as a desktop.. I am trying to remote reboot (as sudo), it says it is rebooting but never does [03:27] mdg, meh. i'm a poor student [03:27] Stunts, you could try a wubi install... [03:28] i dont want to wipe this partition less i no for sure i can get the os running [03:28] Stunts, OOH you mean a dual boot? [03:28] Vovk: what broadcom driver you using/what card? [03:28] yea [03:28] i put xp on it for the meantime [03:28] Stunts, alternate cd has a partitioner on it. you can dual boot. [03:28] i know [03:28] mdg, lemme look it up [03:28] but this is my xp partition [03:28] and i dontwant to wipe it [03:28] is there any software that would be kinda like auto complete software predictive text so i dont have to always type my email and all the other everyday terms i use [03:28] njero: does you terminal still respond to the keyboard? [03:28] less iwill work for sure === Catch-22 is now known as dous [03:28] neil_d: yep [03:28] Stunts, you don't need to wipe xp [03:29] brian__: autokey [03:29] i dont have room for anyother partitions [03:29] i have win2k3 on 1 partition and win xp on the other [03:29] hey. How do I get the GDM to display at the correct resolution? My desktop is 1280x1024, as it should, but the GDM is not [03:29] njero, have you tried both "reboot" and "shutdown -r now"? not that i think there's much of a difference though... [03:29] Stunts, ah... you're gunna have to take the plunge i think [03:29] njero: try "sudo -i" first [03:29] o great... [03:29] Stunts, is the 2k3 really important? [03:29] uh yeah [03:29] its kinda y i got my new hard drive [03:29] mdg: ill check it out thanks [03:30] cause other 1 went out [03:30] neil_d: sudo -i does the same [03:30] Stunts, how much space have you got anyway? to test to see if it works, you would only need around 5 gigs or so [03:30] brian__: http://autokey.sourceforge.net/ [03:30] neil_d: if I try shutdown -r now that reboots right? [03:30] this hard drive was a 60gb [03:30] pastebin the output of 'sudo fdisk -l ' Stunts perhaps theres somt things that can be moved/resized [03:30] brian__: your welcome! [03:30] and the bios didnt accept over 30gb apiece [03:30] Dr_Willis, he's on windows [03:30] so i had to partition [03:30] live cd. :) [03:30] neil_d: I will try it, I just want to make sure if I succeed it comes back on :) [03:30] so i put win2k on 1 and win xp on other [03:30] Dr_Willis, his live cd is borked up :( [03:30] * Dr_Willis jsut gives up then. [03:30] Dr_Willis, graphics drivers. this is the problem, he can't preview ubuntu before installing [03:31] that in itself was a miracle cause i had to install win98 to upgradeit [03:31] njero: that is important. "sudo -i" is another way to get root access. [03:31] Stunts, you sound like you have a pretty borked up computer >.< [03:31] neil_d: read the man... yeah it is the same, sorry [03:31] yea [03:31] its a hand me down compaq armada 3500 === frankpanda__ is now known as frankpanda [03:31] alterantive cd/installer perhaps.. but thats about all i an suggest.. or try some other live cd's to see what does work [03:31] cdrom drive is fried [03:31] Stunts, try a lighter weight linux distro [03:31] and it doesnt like other models [03:31] i tried crunchbang [03:31] Stunts, if you really like ubuntu, try crunchbang, or Xubuntu [03:32] it did same thing [03:32] Stunts, aah... [03:32] njero: did "reboot" work? [03:32] cruchbang still uses the same ubuntu Core. Try somthing differnt like Puppylinux see if that works.. Its very good with old hardware [03:32] Stunts, err, you wanna get your hands dirty with some terminal work? :) [03:32] sure [03:32] Puppy is nice, Damn Small is also an option [03:32] neil_d: nope, not as sudo, not as root. shutdown -r now also did not work in either case [03:32] When installing, if i used "use the Largest free space" choice to install ubuntu, will the new partition be Primary or Logical? [03:32] not much terminal needed in those [03:32] neil_d: is there a place in the logs I might find the error? === spOO` is now known as spO [03:32] I was thinking something like arch, but yeah, puppy is alot more user friendly [03:33] i know i can get slack to run [03:33] hello is there any up-to-date (suitable for 904) HOWTO for setting up XDMCP under ubuntu? [03:33] but i knew for sure it would refromat my partition [03:33] Stunts, you WILL need to format a partition [03:33] Stunts, unless you install within a virtual machine [03:33] yea.. il just transfer all my stuff to win2k3 partition [03:33] Stunts, here, try this [03:34] Stunts, get virtual box, and do your ubuntu or crunchbang or puppy or whatever install in that [03:34] i cant do vmachine, i only gto 333MHz pentium 2 and 128 mb of ram [03:34] Stunts, eeep [03:34] yea its that old [03:34] Stunts, there's your problem [03:34] um ? [03:34] Stunts, 128 megs ram is not enough for ubuntu, i'm guessing graphics aren't either [03:34] Stunts, ubuntu is pretty heavy [03:34] uh yea i no [03:34] i was aiming for kubuntu [03:34] but [03:34] no1 was responding [03:34] Stunts, Kubuntu is worse [03:35] so i kinda when in there [03:35] Stunts: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:35] Stunts, KDE is more of a resource hog than Gnome [03:35] o maybe i ment xubuntu... [03:35] Stunts, still need 256 for that one ;) [03:35] I have a bunch of folders (folder1 folder2 folder3...) that all have a certain file (for example, sample1, sample2, sample3). How can I take a "master" copy of sample1, and replace every sample1 in the folders below? [03:35] ? [03:35] stunts, you'd be lucky to get fvwm + firefox running on that these days [03:35] they said u need 192 [03:35] neil_d: no other ideas? [03:35] Stunts, ok, and how much do you have? ;) [03:35] but thats for the live boot, u only need 128 for install [03:35] how to setup remote login under ubuntu 904? [03:36] Errr... Maybe run everything in terminal. lynx. [03:36] i have 128 mb of ram [03:36] Stunts, try something stripped down. Slackware, Arch, (Stripped down) Debian [03:36] njero: no. [03:36] neil_d: okay, I will keep digging, cheers for trying :) [03:36] slack has no gui right? [03:36] Stunts, if you REALLY wanna cut your teeth, go for a gentoo install, or better yet, Sorcerer is still alive hehe [03:37] Stunts, you can put a GUI on any linux [03:37] njero, normaly shutdown -r now should ignore things like video players blocking reboots, so if that doesn't work, i'm stumped. no clue what's causing it [03:37] Stunts: I think Xbox360 have 512MB Ram. That's more than what you have. :> [03:37] 128 mb isnt enough for the graphical installer, tried, it fails [03:37] Stunts, you gotta understand that a linux distro is just a combination of the same parts. some parts are heavy, some aren't and each distro is tailored in a certain way [03:37] whats the equivalent of rpm -q package-name in ubuntu [03:37] ok, im more noob to linux, its plug and play on my decent laptop, but its got win 7 on it and low on disk space, no chance to partition it [03:37] leaf-sheep, to be fair, Xbox 360 is newer than his computer [03:37] kahen: it was working a few weeks ago, but now not... weird weird weird [03:38] !aptitude | Aayush [03:38] Aayush: aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT. Like other APT front-ends, it can install/remove packages and their dependencies (on Dapper and earlier, however, only aptitude keeps track of unused dependencies). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptitudeSurvivalGuide [03:38] Stunts :( unless you wanna go in over your head and wind up hating linux once and for all, i suggest getting some better hardware [03:38] btw how i get into irc on slack? [03:38] Stunts: install an irc client. [03:38] Stunts, lol yes and irc client [03:38] Aayush, apt-cache search --installed ? [03:38] Stunts: such as xchat, irssi, weechat, or any of a dozen others. [03:38] this sounds like something im going to have to do on the weekend [03:39] Stunts, like i said, linux is a combination of different parts [03:39] Stunts, for a newbie, a Slackware install is pretty deadly. especially on unsupported hardware [03:39] yea sum1 else suggested that [03:39] i think it was cor [03:39] 'Linux is like 'legos and layers'' Blocks of Software parts forming layers that you then have other blocks of software parts building upon. [03:39] Stunts, you don't wanna give Puppy a try? [03:39] uh i havnt looked it up yet [03:39] i have to worry botu the issue [03:40] Stunts: whats the exact system specs anyway? [03:40] Stunts, Or Damn Small Linux, i've not yet have Damn Small Linux bork up on any computer [03:40] that the cdrom drive is going to screw up if i use 1 [03:40] Stunts, Damn Small will fit on 50 mb of hard drive space :P [03:40] Stunts, i put it on my 64 mb flash drive lol [03:40] question about grep: how to match a line with "ndis" or "b43" or "wlan" [03:40] nice [03:40] working on a new laptop with Intel graphics. WOrks well, but unable to drop to virtual terminal. Any ideas? [03:40] Puppy Linux = 100mb, DamSmall = 50mb. TinyCoreLinux = 10 mb. :) [03:40] Vovk, oh yeah. i remember trying slack on my old win98 box that had some *old* ISA card. 4GB harddrive and 48MB ram. it could barely run a text editor + fvwm2 :) [03:40] lol [03:41] hoink: regular expressions have a 'or' type feature and no i dont rember the syntax off hand. [03:41] brian__: if you install autokey, let me know what you think [03:41] kahen, pfft... with your new fangled fvwm2 i don't think it would run on anything. use a REAL window manager, like twm :D [03:41] thx Dr_Willis [03:41] kahen, [03:41] so puppy uses an install where u cant rig it by mounting the cd in winows adn run like i do ubuuntu [03:41] Vovk, or evilwm :) [03:41] kahen, rat poison! [03:41] Stunts, err, no. you will need to reboot i think [03:42] ok il give it a shot this weekend [03:42] Stunts: no it dose not. I use PuppyLinux all the time. it can do a 'frugal' isntall alongside a windows Os to a fat/ntfs partition. [03:42] Stunts, generally, it's hard to install an OS on a different partition from a separate os. windows DEFINITELY doesn't do that :P [03:42] Stunts: or you can boot a puppy cd. and let it see/use/save stuff to a flash drive. or partition. [03:42] Vovk: Screen! [03:42] ey guys. Im having some serious issues with (g)parted. I tried the livecd and gparted within ubuntu, and gparted within the ubuntu live cd. When i open gparted it just stays there and says something like "searching for /dev/sda for partitions".. and it just hangs there. I reallyneed to resize a partition and i cant. Any ideas how to fix this? thanks [03:42] I stand corrected! [03:42] mdg, Screen is not a WM... [03:42] what is the best way to get php mysql and ssl on ubunti? [03:42] #puppylinux for puppy info. :) [03:43] yea my cdrom is fried so i use anotehr 1 but the bios has some io errors with it [03:43] ok [03:43] il look it up [03:43] Stunts, use a flash drive, or if you can, try a floppy install of debian or something :D [03:43] flakey hardware = bad signs. [03:43] Stunts, though debian can get fat if you let it >.< [03:43] id have to use floppy cause thiis doesnt support usb boot [03:43] is there any php/mysql/ssl all in one package? [03:43] Stunts ACTUALLY [03:43] When installing, if i used the "use the Largest free space" choice to install ubuntu, will the new partition be Primary or Logical? [03:44] http://goodbye-microsoft.com/ [03:44] lol [03:44] that will do a debian install [03:44] nice [03:44] from the internet [03:44] ? [03:44] but you may wind up fragging your windows [03:44] how the? [03:44] stunts, with magic :P [03:44] idc so much if i ruin this partition [03:44] or the windows install [03:45] Stunts, then yeah... that website is great [03:45] long as i can access it from my other windows partition [03:45] Stunts, err... make sure your filesystem is compatable then. ext3 can be used in windows with ext2ifs [03:45] Question: What is the default password for the root. Upon reboot the disk checking program saysit can't fix the errors and that I must open a maintenance shell with the root password [03:45] and im aware of the format problems with the ext that linux uses [03:45] and windows [03:45] Dishtroyer, there isn't one [03:45] i found a driver a wile back that lets me use that partition from windwos [03:46] Stunts, yep ^_^ ext2ifs, lifesaver [03:46] had to use it to browse a virtual hard drive from other laptop [03:46] Dishtroyer, in that situation, you MIGHT be able to get a root shell by pressing control + d [03:46] didnt help me much tho, still couldnt ever get it to run anything as root... [03:46] Vovx: just leaving it blank won't work [03:46] but i was using mvm [03:46] Dishtroyer, err... what exactly is happening anyway? [03:47] Cntrl D just reboots [03:47] how wel does linux run with docking stations? [03:47] Dishtroyer, ubuntu HAS no root password [03:47] The disk check reports errors [03:47] kahen, neil_d: trying this http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-285204.html [03:47] someone knows how to set a HPA area in a HDD or any hdparm user? [03:47] Dishtroyer, and it should give instructions about getting into a maintainance shell... have you tried your password? [03:47] I hadn't found that because I was searching for "reboot" instead of "shutdown" [03:48] Vovk: yes [03:48] shut up, ubunbu never worked... [03:48] :) [03:48] Dishtroyer, is the disk checking program called fsck? [03:49] this is going to sound random but does anyone no how to reverse the fan ? the idiots that made laptop put it in backeards and i dont want to take the laptop apart to fix it [03:49] Dishtroyer, well... if you have a live cd, you could always boot into it and run fsck on the partition yourself [03:49] I don't know for sure Vovl. Let me try again and see if I can remember. Give me 10 minutes [03:49] Stunts, err... it's not backwards? [03:50] its blowing air into the heatsnyc [03:50] wich has no where for air to go [03:50] Hmm I'll try Vovx. Thanks [03:50] literally, i lok ed at fan, it says this side out, and that side is in the heatsync [03:50] Stunts, a laptop? [03:50] yep [03:50] Stunts, I am bewildered [03:51] liek i said, its a handme down [03:51] i got it when it was loaded with viruses and fixed it up, tryd upgrading to xp, then the hard drive went out... [03:51] Stunts, ... there must be a good reason for that configuration, are you having heating issues??? [03:51] brian__: any luck? [03:51] o yea, the plastic is gettting brittle [03:51] Stunts: works just fine [03:52] im amazed it has acpi [03:52] Stunts, :( invest in a laptop cooling pad? a good one? [03:52] ive got one, bnut this laptop [03:52] it has this expansion thing on bottom [03:52] Hi everyone, I'm having a hard time getting my touchpad settings to save, after a reboot there reset... >.< [03:52] so u cant really get to any fan [03:52] and the exxpansion thing has the charger in it [03:52] Stunts, eeh.... [03:53] and i broke the fan cleaning it that was in the expansion piece... [03:53] way more rittle than it looked [03:53] Stunts, linux is shaky when it comes to old laptops to be honest. you're not going to have much control over it's features [03:53] idc im using it for development [03:53] Stunts, development of what??? [03:53] I type ps -aux and the lix comes down, but some shit is cutoff [03:53] ipods system partition is too small [03:53] anyone able to help me out on setting up dspam training using postfix as the smtp server? (dpsam is filtering, but i can't get the transports to work for training) (note, am asking here as i'm using ubunut :) ) [03:53] how do I make the width of the columns longer [03:53] so im using a computer [03:54] Stunts, iirc you still need to have a good development platform to test your stuff on :) if all your programs are designed for that laptop then bad things will happen [03:54] Hi everyone, I'm having a hard time getting my touchpad settings to save, after a reboot there reset... >.< Please PM me if you know what i'm doing wrong [03:54] ? i thot u could enter waht the system is ur building for on the configure file [03:54] Stunts, wait... ipod development? like applescript? [03:55] um not applesccript [03:55] Stunts, well, you can do that... but if you are developing on a DIFFERENT system than you're building on... [03:55] my ipods jailbroken, runs linux apps, and its too smal too build anything decent [03:55] Stunts, how will you test this? [03:55] Stunts, aah... i c [03:55] open ssh [03:55] or netatalk, whichever is more convieient [03:56] Stunts, aah... if you only want an ssh box, then why are you going thru all that trouble?

[03:58] Stunts, it's not like you're actually using windows... you're just sshed into your ipod [03:58] becasue that putty terminal accessed the ipod, but its system partition isnt big enuf [03:58] it runs out of room fast, only is 35 mb after an install of the os [03:59] 25* [03:59] this is the ubuntu help IRC right? [03:59] hello i havent been on ubunto for a while... what is the most powerful command other than root logging?

I make setting with synclient (i.e. Synclient Rightedge=5900) and its great... but then its gone after reboot [04:05] RichiV, you sound like a troll is what :) if it's sata, can you tell me what filesystem is on it [04:05] yes syndaemon is enabled and working [04:05] Vovk: let me look. My printer is listed but its not working with the driver that pops up after recognizing.

[04:06] RichiV, heh... coming from someone who asks for "the most powerful command in linux". anyway, you need to know what Filesystem is on that hard drive. chances are it's fat32, but it might be ntfs for god knows what reason [04:07] was like a diode or something [04:07] yeah i was looking for a "new startup program" but i have no idea how lol [04:07] kahen, neil_d: I got it to go away! Now lets hope it reboots :) [04:07] Coilette: kde has one way of doing it.. gnome another.. bot told the gnome way [04:07] i was trynt o screw in oneof those um screws that lets u screw a screw into it, and u put it in with a wrench, rench slipps, nocks a very small diose or something off...

[04:09] neil_d: I hve autossh setup so it calls me back :) [04:09] RichiV, no you don't. if you want to, you can add that hard drive to fstab [04:09] njero: great what fixed it? [04:09] Vovk: how do i do that? [04:09] RichiV, though it SHOULD automatically mount to /media/disk when you plug it in [04:09] Coilette: used to be a Autostart directory.. but i havent used kde4 much to knos. ask in #kubuntu perhaps.

[04:35] andrew21550: you should be able to get it with sudo aptitude install vuze [04:35] mrwes: you could use that or /etc/rc.local if it's something that needs root [04:35] Quasar1048: id call that a bit of a sccurity issue. You could 'try' just suiding the synaptic binary. but that would let EVERYONE run it as root..

[05:21] awesome guys, i knew it was something stupid i was fucking up.. shame it took me 45 minutes to get it sorted out [05:22] xim_: if its a short script try cut/pasteing it to a diffrent file. or try some editor that can show cr/lf characters [05:22] Dr_Willis: this is so inexplicable yet reproducable.... first ive never seen unix say : command not found: to anything, yet for each connected series of blank lines i get one not to mention the random integer at the end [05:22] Dr_Willis: k ill mess with it a bit [05:22] Coilette: a read of the the various bash scripting guides is worth doing. :) [05:22] So I think that I will stay with 64bit linux for now [05:22] can someone offer some advice/point me in the direction of what could be happening when I update?

Any help is appreciated.. Restarting the X server takes care of it, but a regular full boot brings it back. [05:27] Dr_Willis: still only the #!/usr/bin/env bash interpreter gave me the issue [05:27] xim_: that sounds like the issue... [05:27] xim_: if it EVER came from windows.. you proberly got extra cr/lf characters [05:27] xim_: i spent hrs trackign this down once [05:27] Dr_Willis: lol ok thanks [05:28] xim_: theres some dos2unix commands that can trim out the extra stuff. [05:28] unitheory: yes, same result upon many reboots [05:28] xim_: or install fte and look at it with the fte editor [05:28] I googled for the error, and some results suggested ALSA, some suggested removing compiz, I removed both with no change [05:28] Dr_Willis: ok ill do that, i just forgot this started as a bat file [05:28] There may be a way for other editors to show the 'extra non printing characters' but i just use fte [05:28] gave up and reinstalled since it was a fresh install [05:28] Alright I just went through a bunch of crap to get sound up and running on my toshiba nb200 and was wondering if Ubuntu will ever properly support this model.

[05:54] can anyone explain to me why my toshiba netbook nb200 seems to report a battery live of 2 hours yet reviews state it should last 5+ hours.

[05:58] its in the menu bar somewhere .. look around [05:58] Getaway: in the second menu from the left (I think there are only 3 so in the middle) and it's at the bottom [05:58] Getaway: I think that's "machine" or something [05:58] !ask | m0r0n [05:58] m0r0n: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily).

[05:59] I was wondering if there is a way to add some "Wigets" or something to that matter that is Linux based [05:59] is the guest package in ubuntu or virtualbox? [05:59] #กรุงเทพขายบริการ [05:59] its a package installed into the guest OS .. xp [06:00] * Getaway is confused [06:00] Getaway: LucidGuy: its called "Guest Additions", start the Virtual Machine in vbox and click on "Devices" than "Install Guest Additions" and it will mount the virtual CD ROM Image in the Virtual Machine [06:01] LucidGuy: Use less packages -- Don't use default ubuntu-desktop for your netboot and you'll shave lot of packages and processes off. Hence a bit longer battery life. [06:01] LucidGuy: Since the packages on netboot are likely to be almost same packages used as a regular laptop/computer. [06:01] i click that and it doesnt do anything [06:02] hello, I have a problem with Xvnc and window (display?) managers, anybody can help? [06:02] Getaway: Look in XP's "My Computer" --- Run the CD-ROM. [06:02] leaf-sheep, I wish I new that before I installed the full desktop version .. urg. Have no interest reloading this guy.

Run it. Install stuffs (use ethernet cable for now). to get base ubuntu minimal. Then install few packages. That's it. Than shaving them off. :) [06:04] unitheory: of course this time it worked, because I was being helped - thanks :) [06:05] leaf-sheep, minimal iso? Im guessing there is a version out there called minimal? [06:05] !minimal | LucidGuy [06:05] LucidGuy: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [06:05] Madison-_, so the panels are there? [06:05] yes [06:05] everything is fine [06:05] much ado about nothing [06:05] excellent! [06:05] LucidGuy: Yes, it's only 10-12MB. You install the rest of the packages from the net. [06:05] although I'm curious as to why it bombed last time [06:05] oh well [06:05] LucidGuy: If you already have the alternate CD, you don't need to grab the minimal CD, the alternate CD can do the same thing.

[06:13] WIGGMPk, Are you serious? I only asked because he mentioned he was running it.\ [06:13] Getaway: Guest addtions needs to be installed with admin privileges.. so if your installing it from the terminal it would be "sudo sh .run" where the filename is vboxguest something something [06:14] :-/ [06:14] LucidGuy: im helping him install guest additions on an ubuntu guest.. the host OS is not really important to me..

[06:22] if you're reinstalling windows just borrow a retail disc and install using the COA key on your computer.. it's easier than trying to mess with a recovery partition after the partition table has been changed [06:22] no, i'm running 32 bit [06:22] how does one then respond to that person so that it appears the same to them> [06:22] Getaway: but it should be "sudo .run" or "sudo sh .run" I cant remember [06:22] scrvlz: Just type their name on the line, usually this means you'll type a few letters of their name and hit tab, and xchat will autocomplete it [06:22] hi! is there any way to get compiz work with ati hd4850 smooth:S [06:22] scrvlz: type their nick and then type this like this [06:22] rebootingh [06:23] Flannel, like this? [06:23] scrvlz: Yep [06:23] Flannel, thanks [06:23] Gnea, thanks === gengwei is now known as vincentg [06:24] jkessler: don't know what your talking about. btw I don't have windows(needs reinstalling but grub and ubuntu get in the way) and I have a netbook(acer) === xfacter_ is now known as xfacter [06:25] hi I have a problem with Xvnc that after login to vnc server, it display a blank screen with X cursor, nothing else. any idea please? [06:25] there we go [06:25] enjoy [06:25] you cant get like a virus from a virtual linux machine on windows right? [06:26] thats a good question.. if your sharing between the host and guest and the guest has infected windows files.. than yes you could.. but the files created by the overhead application (IE: Virtual Box) no [06:26] did you just use virus and linux in the same sentence? [06:26] yes he did [06:27] and yes its possible to get a virus on linux.. *cue eerie music and start debate* [06:27] hrm, I have an aspire one, running Ubuntu NBR. For some reason I get sound when I login (login.wav) but no sound when logged into the machine, how can I troubleshoot this? [06:28] Getaway: basically, linux can NOT get infected with a Windows virus.. but it can distribute infected files to Windows clients. [06:29] Getaway: therefore, if you have sharing between the host & guest operating systems, than yes. The guest linux machine can infect the host windows machine with a virus by file sharing (of already infected files) [06:29] WIGGMPk, so kind of like a zombie in the sence that a zombie never gets sick but is able to make more zombies? [06:29] thats not what i meant [06:29] icarus: lmfao sure.. just like a zombie [06:29] ok [06:29] assuming i dont open any files in windows specifically [06:29] i am safe? [06:30] Getaway: yes, in the same sense that if you dont turn on your computer you dont have to worry about virus's... [06:30] what command should i give to boot windows partition from GRUB? i just installed ubuntu and it is not showing my windows partition [06:31] i installed "side-by-side" [06:31] wiggmpk.. the concept i'm trying to convey here is.. there are a lot of exploits in windows where just surfing to a bad site will get you [06:31] i run windows xp sp2 with no updates or virus protection ! :D [06:31] the same is not true in linux [06:31] therefore if i surf unsafe sites in linux, i should be safe, even if its on a virtual machine.. [06:31] unitheory, get avira free antivir for windows [06:32] anybody? [06:32] Getaway: well, at first look I would say your right.. but to get more specific, I think it would depend on the way the virtual machines network adapter is configured.. NAT or Direct Access... I simply do not know enough about the VM to answer that 100% truthfully, but its a sound theory. [06:33] Windows is suck. I got a BSOD in win 7 RTM yesterday... [06:33] WIGGMPk, what if getaway used usb flash drives would that put him at risk? [06:33] icarus: I dont understand the question exactly? [06:34] in gnome, what is the FM of choice? [06:34] wesouler: and my ubuntu box crashed the other day for me... doesn't mean neither of the os's suck.. it does however mean that discussing windows is offtopic in this channel [06:34] eross: nautilus? [06:35] wesouler: i have been running windows 7 since the beta.. i have yet to bsod once. [06:35] in-fact, i only got one single bsod in the years i used vista, because of faulty RAM [06:35] !offtopic [06:35] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [06:35] ah thanks.. am running awn and it's been awhile =) want to add a FM to my menu [06:35] can't blame vista for faulty ram [06:35] WIGGMPk, sorry let me clarfy would the use of usb media (flash drives and such ) on a linux vm also put Getaway at risk if he was to use the usb media on this windows box as well? [06:35] Bigshot_, you have to add it to /boot/grub/menu.lst [06:35] manual? [06:35] how? [06:35] i got a lot of BOSD on Vista, once per week..

[06:41] Bigshot_: if it is on sda then mount it and see if its really there [06:41] unitheory: it says it is in /usr/share/doc/memtest86+/examples/grub-menu.lst [06:41] menu.lst should be in /boot/grub/menu.lst [06:41] how to mount windows blackest_knight from grub? i tried boot (hd0) but no dice [06:41] Bigshot_: try running "sudo update-grub" and it should generate a new menu.lst for you [06:42] mount it from ubuntu desktop [06:42] I need help with my volume [06:42] lucasarg: oh.. hard to tell.. there are no howto's or even a manual for vlc available?

[06:53] must been a wine thing [06:54] scrvlz: /root is roots 'home' dir. [06:54] $ & # [06:54] Bigshot_-> check via iwconfig -a to see if the interface is up [06:54] iwconfig -a no such device [06:54] Dr_Willis: isnt / just the "root" directory and not the root home directory? [06:55] Bigshot_-> with root priviledges not as regular user [06:55] i did i am root aigy [06:55] WIGGMPk: 'root' means many things. the 'root' of the filesystem is / the root users configs are in /root [06:56] Bigshot_-> just try iwconfig [06:56] Dr_Willis: so your saying the "root" user does not have a /home/root directory?

[06:57] how to load that driver aigy? [06:57] leaf-sheep: whats your default display manager/enviornment? [06:58] Bigshot_-> find the appropiate driver for it and use modprobe, or if you find a tutorial for such 4322, it may hve the steps to load the driver [06:58] hrm, the speaker icon is missing, but the modules are loaded [06:58] WIGGMPk: the ROOT users home is /root not /home/root [06:58] WIGGMPk: This is for XBMC on HTPC.

[06:59] burf: su or sudo [06:59] aigy i did modprobe b43 [06:59] leaf-sheep: if you have no display manager, than why do you need the X server started? [06:59] wesouler : then what to do... [06:59] leaf-sheep: what do you mean 'pure xbmc' ? i installed xbmc the other day and it created a X session that gdm could use.. set up GDM to auto login and run xbmc session.. and it worked.. [06:59] i wanted to use the GUI to change teh privedges not the terminal - is it possible? [07:00] Dr_Willis: http://xbmc.org/wiki/?title=XBMCbuntu [07:00] Bigshot_-> is that the driver for it? i dont know it off hand [07:00] i dont know what command to run in the terminal to change the privledges [07:00] leaf-sheep: or make a .xinitrc that launches the xbmc binary then startx [07:00] WIGGMPk: See ^ too [07:00] i am opening some files from soem folders which for some reason are read-only [07:00] burf use gksudo [07:00] kannan01: there is a file /etc/sudoer Edit it.

(from .xsession-errors) [07:01] kannan01, wesouler: no. people with sudo privledges aren't listed in sudoers, you need to simply remove them from the admin group. [07:01] kannan01: or kick the user from wheel group [07:01] leaf-sheep: install a window manager for it to start.. install xterm also so you can trouble shoot [07:01] Flannel: that's it [07:02] leaf-sheep: how are you trying to run it? from the terminal? without a display manager started? follow Dr_Willis advice and it will be fixed [07:02] flannel: how to do that... any removeuser command is there... [07:02] Dr_Willis and Flannel , right on time, I salute you both. [07:02] WIGGMPk, Dr_Willis: Which advice? the .xinitrc? The .xsession? Create window manager?

[07:03] thx WIGGMPk - works nice - do i just change the folders Owner to my username? do i have to change group settings also? thx [07:03] Bigshot_-> you can modprobe -r xxxx [07:03] leaf-sheep: in order to run XBMC, you need to run it on top of a display manager.. IE: Gnome Display Manager, K Desktop Eniv, etc [07:03] flannel: thank you so much... [07:03] leaf-sheep: use a minimal window manager it will make things much easier.. You could try just launching xbmc from .xinitrc or .xsession i guess and not a window manager.. [07:04] Bigshot_: kill (whatever)? [07:04] leaf-sheep: so if your running ubuntu, "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start" than change the session to automatically start the GDM and just add XBMC to the "startup applications" [07:04] aigy modprobe -r SSB? [07:04] Bigshot_-> if thats the name of the ssb module, yes [07:04] I see. Okay. I know I got this to work before -- but that's strange.

[07:08] aigy alpha 5 [07:08] Bigshot_: did you try posting on the forums? [07:08] does changing file permissions, require a restart?

[07:12] WIGGMPk: I can't (dont know how) to access a wireless connection using just bios from the client [07:12] basilesque-> your client has to support PXE or network booting [07:12] CaptainCrook: soundcards are not mounted. you can load their drivers using modprobe ormaybe insmod [07:12] aigy: client does indeed support pxe [07:13] basilesque: where are you getting your wifi access from? what type of access point?

[07:15] aigy: because im setting up dhcp using wifi IP etc [07:15] WIGGMPk: not atm no [07:15] any particular reason? cause that would be a million times easier?

[07:28] n8tuser: how do i do that [07:28] basilesque-> and if neither one is auto switching then you cant use a straight cable, use a so called null modem cable [07:28] Anyone?Please [07:28] n8tuser: never heard of a null modem cable [07:28] basilesque-> research what nic card you have on both your laptop and client [07:29] n8tuser: k [07:29] basilesque-> look up null cable modem too while you're in google [07:29] server7: webmin isnt supported [07:29] !webmin | server7 [07:29] server7: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. [07:30] does any body know what would cause a sudden loss of audio [07:31] I looked @Ebox couldn't find enough support for beginner like myself [07:31] madman1: reboot, when it next cuts, quickly run a terminal and run: dmesg | tail [07:31] i rebooted with no audio upon reboot [07:32] Unless you know a place? I would really appreciated [07:32] madman1: did you recently upgrade kernel? [07:32] yes [07:32] madman1: and did the previous kernel run ok and have sound? [07:32] yes [07:33] madman1: then boot to that kernel and ignore the one that doesnt work, you dot need a newer kernel [07:33] thanks [07:34] n8tuser: i have a spare router not connected to any network, can I use that as a go between to ensure tx/rx is paired right? [07:34] server7: no idea, it doesnt gel with debian based system so isnt recommended, hy do you use it? [07:35] basilesque-> yes you can, but then also make sure that router does not provide dhcp services and tftp towards the client [07:36] basilesque-> what you need is really as simple hub functionalities [07:36] n8tuser: it shouldn't so long as the host and client are the only things going through it right? [07:36] n8tuser: o wait it is a hub [07:36] basilesque-> no guarantee eh.. you have to check the router configurations [07:37] Anyone know what this graphic glitch is caused by? http://imagebin.ca/view/MResct3J.html and how I can get rid of it? [07:37] n8tuser: is it possible to avoid all this by having the client connect to wifi from BIOS? [07:37] basilesque-> as long as the client can communicate, but you said it doesnt have an os ? [07:38] n8tuser: correct, so i dunno if it can use the wireless card w/o OS. obviously it can use ethernet w/o 1 [07:38] WIGGMPk: what is you minimise the app, then maximise it [07:39] ActionParsnip: what app? I loaded firefox for a white backdrop only... Its there from startup [07:39] basilesque-> no it cant.. [07:39] WIGGMPk: ok i know that much, minimise firefox then maximise it... [07:40] ActionParsnip: ok, that does nothing.. the glitch is not part of firefox and is ON TOP of all windows.. [07:40] i rebooted to the an older kernel with the same issue [07:40] WIGGMPk: ok thats what i was testing, are you running compiz? [07:41] ActionParsnip: yes and AWN and screenlets [07:41] madman118: ok then boot to the newer kernel and configure sound as if it never worked [07:41] WIGGMPk: kill awm, see if its still there, if it is then run: metacity --replace [07:41] WIGGMPk: you need to see which app is creating it [07:42] How do I prevent a server (PostgreSQL) from starting up on each boot?

Try OpenBSD -- or Solaris on a broken terminal. [08:20] matusqo, simply put, yes. Caveat, watch what other software you install. [08:20] pepperphd: try gentoo ;) [08:20] matusqo: provided you're not making a direct profit of of ubuntu directly its legal [08:20] hyyy [08:21] pepperphd: i prefer the mandriva installer, you acyually get to choose what is installed rather than getting a tonne of bloat you dont need and have to uninstall it [08:21] So, I wanted to ask: I am about to run off and getmyself a nettop, with 2 intel atom 330 processors. These support 64 bitses. However, there's nowhere an USB IMG for x64 to be found -- can I make that myself, by unpacking an .ISO? [08:21] madman118, making profit from ubuntu is legal too. [08:21] matusqo: however read the GNU license carefully to be sure [08:21] jMCg: you could use unetbootin to make a usb-flash from an iso. but the netbook remix's ive seen are 32bit.

[08:22] it is not making profit from ubuntu directlz [08:22] madman118, the only thing you cannot do is claim it as your own. (but that's simplifiing things) [08:22] like i want some apps to be installed and some uninstalled [08:23] you've helped me several times before so i'll trust your answer [08:23] pepperphd: id say slightly [08:23] durt: yeah i knew that [08:23] use aptitude [08:23] Sweet!

[09:23] cyber_666_uk: dpkg -l will list all installd packages on your system, the pipe transfers all that info and shoves it to grep with filters the input to what we say, like gnash or swfdec [09:24] cyber_666_uk: did the gnash command output anything? [09:24] no it was blank [09:24] good [09:24] i would like to change the apt mirror for my system, how do i do this without using a GUI (server)?

[09:33] wizzo50: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:33] "Listen!" he shouts again. "I'm not hungry! I don't wanna eat! All right! Is that all right with you? Can I come home from work and just do my own thing without you forcing food down my throat? Huh?" [09:34] This is the most retarded thing ever [09:34] Has anybody had any luck seeing his bluetooth headset being created as a virtual device in pulse with installed packages based on current repositories contents? [09:34] lch: You unfortunately won't be able to use both, but you'd just create two new lvm partitions (physical volumes) and then join them into your volume group [09:35] lch: You can't use both because you already have three used partitions [09:35] if I am going to build a program from source, should i uninstall it with aptitude first? [09:35] !checkinstall | danl [09:35] danl: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running!

[09:36] lch: No, you create a new physical volume (that's a partition, basically) and then you just add that pv into your vg [09:37] Flannel: thanks [09:37] lch: what did you want? [09:38] what is the difference between LVM and no LVM?

[09:39] Flannel: ok, how would I do that in steps? do you have a link for information that I can follow? [09:39] RichiV: vmware requires an installed OS though so costs a lot more than wine [09:39] How do I turn temporarily turn off auto mounting? [09:39] dimm: sure, it needs sudo [09:39] the only things I've seen concern growing/shrinking at the end of a volume group [09:40] Has anybody had any luck seeing his bluetooth headset being created as a virtual device in pulse with installed packages based on current repositories contents? [09:40] hello [09:40] How do I temporarily turn off auto mounting> [09:40] ActionParsnip, is sudo already installed on live-cd ?

Log every IP address my server stabilished a TCP or UDP connection and how much traffic were sent/received by each IP. What package should I use for this job?

[09:41] Gouda: "gconftool-2 --set /apps/nautilus/preferences/media_automount --type=bool false" [09:41] lch: partition the free space, do pvcreate on it then add it to the volume group [09:41] ok thanks. HOw do I know that it took effect? [09:42] situation: One of the nicest parts is the ability to group multiple disks together (if I have 100G now, but I buy a 500G in the future, I can have a single 600G, if I then want to replace my 100G, I can do so easily, and then have a 1000G drive). Also, it allows you to resize partitions quickly (and while live) [09:42] did any one here used btrfs filesystem [09:42] Gouda: Test it, I suppose. [09:43] ActionParsnip: I already have an installed windows OS, Ubuntu, and a reusable Windows OS disc [09:43] ActionParsnip: atm its installing windows on 4 gigs [09:43] RichiV: true but if yo didnt have one ;) [09:43] ActionParsnip: very tru.

[10:09] But I do see it as installed in the addons window of firefox [10:09] Can always just check ps or do a top to see if firefox is running [10:09] If it is running just kill it [10:10] The return is " calum@ubuntu:~$ ls -l ~/.gvfs total 0 === Richie is now known as YDdraigGoch [10:10] Also did that Gouda [10:10] <_Fauchi95_> Hello!

[10:12] kazzy: but whats the huge difference between VLC and VLS? [10:12] Hagus: sudo chmod -R o+w ~/.gvfs [10:12] ionut_: if it is doing then you either have hardware problems of have hit some bug [10:12] natrixnatrix89: well, you don't have to mess with the command line [10:12] how do i extract a .zip archive from the commandline? [10:13] bouba: unzip [10:13] ActionParsnip: thanks buddy [10:13] Hi. Is Ubuntu good to host VMware virtual computers?

[10:14] I see now that this extension uses activex. I suppose it's not possible to run that under linux, right? [10:14] ActionParsnip: does that require any extra packages? [10:14] Hagus: you missed the s off the end of the command [10:14] sorry [10:14] bouba: no, you can extract away [10:14] Hagus: dont run partial commands, you may damage your system [10:14] Is there a way to access an iTunes 8 shared library from *buntu?

Desktop edition or Server edition? Are both for free? Thx. [10:15] JGodbout: So buggy that it can sometimes stop your OS from booting all togethor? [10:15] The program 'unzip' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: sudo apt-get install unzip -bash: unzip: command not found [10:15] yeah [10:15] DDT: both are free [10:16] ActionParsnip: Thanks for the tip about partial commands - I knew that that applied when doing things like partitioning but shall be more careful generally now. [10:16] DDT: if the system is a genuine server and not to be touched much, use server, otherwise use desktop [10:16] DDT: depends what you want to use it for [10:16] Nickorz: Hmm. Probs not. [10:16] ActionParsnip - great, thank you. I need use it as server for virtual computers. [10:16] natrixnatrix89: but wait, is the remote server the one with the camera? [10:17] DDT: you dont need to, its just advisd as you'll have more resources or your VMs [10:17] kazzy: thanks for help. Im just still wondering how do people use vls if its not documented [10:17] kazzy - nop the remote camera is somewhere else [10:17] it would have its own ip [10:17] ty [10:18] kazzy but still Do you know which video codec is flv using? [10:18] natrixnatrix89: well, what you wanted wasn't documented [10:18] ActionParsnip - I need more resources for my virtual computers. I have only 2GB Ram and I need run 2-3 virtual machines. [10:18] hi, i'm running on hardy 8.04 and I'm trying to switch sound ouput to my usb headphones, how should I do ? [10:18] natrixnatrix89: wait.. is the camera attached to a desktop with X? [10:19] No the camera is not attached to anything. It is a wifi camera.. [10:19] ActionParsnip - I hope that server edition has kde or gnome too - not only command line. [10:19] DDT: then server for sure [10:19] DDT: the server only has command line [10:19] only? [10:19] DDT: if you need a desktop, install desktop [10:19] ActionParsnip: From a Google search, I saw that some are reporting this issue as a bug. However the solutions offered did not work for me. [10:19] DDT: yes, only. true servers dont have desktops [10:20] DDT: you want the desktop install if you cant configure the system via command line [10:20] ActionParsnip - Yes, I am afraid I need sometimes desktop too. Because I am not very familiar with command line only. [10:20] natrixnatrix89: well, then isn't it already streaming? [10:20] DDT: then desktop for you, install xubuntu to make it a little lighter [10:21] ActionParsnip - xubuntu? its clon? Is it 100% compatibile with ubuntu? [10:21] I have a strange problem with my browsers: Sometimes instead of a website I see "I am alive!", on the screen and in the sources. With opera, links2 and Firefox (Opera is the first as I usually browse with Opera). Booting a Debian in VirtualBox, everything works alright with the same URL. Did somebody experience something like that? This "I am alive" reminds me of a webserver standard page or somethin like that, but my cherokee default inde [10:21] x.html is different. [10:21] kazzy: im considering buying this camera: http://www.linksysbycisco.com/EU/en/products/WVC54GCA But i think maybe i should transcode it.. [10:22] ActionParsnip - I mean if I will need some help with xubuntu Can I ask here? === bouba is now known as bub [10:22] DDT: sure, as well as #xubuntu [10:23] Is .gvfs a file to which I should normally need access? [10:23] natrixnatrix89: chances are it just creates a WMV stream, which wouldn't be a problem to play anywhere [10:23] ActionParsnip - Great! Going to download it. Thank you. :) [10:23] DDT: remember to md5 check stuff [10:23] so The VLC uses WMV codec? [10:23] I take it that I need worry about it too much - or would that be wrong of me? [10:24] ActionParsnip - md5? what for? [10:24] * Hagus is unsure as to whether he is fretting about .gvfs for nothing? [10:24] I have two partitions on different disks. How can I test the disks with bonnie++? [10:24] DDT: make sure the data is complete and error free [10:24] Hagus: its a directory [10:24] oh lol [10:24] natrixnatrix89: now, I'm not -certain-. is there any documentation you can get without buying it [10:24] ActionParsnip - ohh yes :) I will. Thx again. See you. [10:25] Is there any reason why I should need to access it? [10:25] What does it do? [10:25] * Hagus is a little confuddled [10:25] I believe gvfs stands for Gnome Virtual File System [10:26] * Hagus looks more worried than before [10:26] natrixnatrix89: well, it looks like some kind of flash plugin thing [10:26] I tried to search, but still dont understand - which video codec is VLC using.. [10:26] Hagus: i think its for automounting partitions, not sure but you should have ful access to everything in your home folder [10:26] but when I transcode using vlc it provides me VLC encapsulation [10:27] natrixnatrix89: VLC can handle pretty much any codec [10:27] I'm not seeing my network manager icon in the notification area, can someone help me figure out where it went? There are other icons in the notification Area.. [10:27] It is a dual booting - ubuntu9.04 and vista that I have. [10:27] but video codecs included arent with flas plugin [10:27] So maybe it is to protect the vista part? [10:27] Hagus gvfs is mainly used to access remote filesystem as if they would reside on your machine [10:27] kazzy: Ok. ill try to ask in a JW forum.. [10:27] ah ty, ionut_ [10:27] natrixnatrix89: there's probably more to it due to security features [10:28] For example when you connect to a shared folder (Samba, NFS, SSH) it mounts a folder on your machine [10:28] natrixnatrix89: JW? [10:28] I cam across the error when messing about with trying to install symfony [10:28] longtailvideo.com [10:29] natrixnatrix89: does the device use that video player? [10:29] JW player would be embed in a website [10:30] natrixnatrix89: it seems you wouldn't even need to transcode anything. the camera itself serves flash video [10:30] ionut_: I remember learning a little about shared folders a couple of years back when I was trying to set up a family network at home. However, I have crashed my machine too often for the rest of the family to really want to have too much connection with me :) [10:30] kazzy: really? thanks.. [10:31] natrixnatrix89: only I can't say it'd be great for a web site, because it seems to ask for a password [10:31] Hagus - I don't think gvfs should matter when installing symfony [10:31] Ion my system realteck 833 sound card is installed but mic is not running. I google solution but not found any solution. Now I wnat to install the sound card drivers on my ubuntu9.04. [10:32] Is ubuntu ssh enabled by default? [10:32] From what ionut_ and ActionParsnip are saying, I reckon that I should not worry too much about gvfs? [10:32] hi [10:32] not really [10:32] great :) [10:33] Hello want to install sound drivers on ubuntu 9.04 any idea? [10:33] zaggynl Do you mean the server (daemon)? [10:33] I would not like to think that I get symfony working and then find that I have reformatted all my partitions or something :) [10:33] kazzy I still cant find which video codec is FLV using.. [10:33] whrere could I find it? [10:33] ionut_: yeah [10:33] It would be too much like me :) [10:33] can someone send me a beryl link? [10:33] Hagus - it doesn't alter partition tables at all (it's a virtual FS) :) [10:34] or can someone help me get beryl? [10:34] natrixnatrix89: FLV is a container, like Ogg [10:34] any body know how to install the sound cared drivers on ubuntu [10:34] !beryl | RichiV [10:34] RichiV: Beryl has been merged with Compiz to form Compiz-Fusion. New Beryl installs are discouraged. See also !compiz [10:34] I know.. [10:34] nandu: what soundcard do you have? lspci | grep audio [10:34] So, in short, I should forget about it? [10:34] zaggynl sshd isn't installed by default in Ubuntu Desktop [10:34] but which video codec is tthe best for it? [10:34] ionut_: okay thanks [10:34] * Hagus breathes a sigh of relief [10:34] thankyour [10:34] natrixnatrix89: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flash_Video [10:35] zaggynl you can check what servers are listening with netstat [10:35] Hi I have a 250 hdd and want to do a dual boot. Which is the best way to partition? XP and Ubuntu [10:35] * Hagus scurries out of the channel in case someone contradicts ionut_ :) [10:35] what is the problem with beryl? [10:35] Hagus :) [10:35] natrixnatrix89: look for "codec support" [10:35] zaggynl: they don't show me any output. [10:35] kazzy FInally :) THANKS for everythin :) [10:35] ionut_: I'm currently working on the machine remotely on windows, if I reboot it it will boot into ubuntu, but if sshd isn't running it's no good ;-) [10:35] thanks for the reassurance folks - much appreciated. [10:35] RichiV: don't think there is a problem.. it's just merged with compiz and is now compiz fusion [10:36] RichiV, its long out of date; its now called compiz [10:36] I think ill use h264 [10:36] that's what youtube uses [10:36] right.. although ubottu said it is highly recomended not to instal... i do not see a reason why? [10:36] zaggynl: lspci |grep audio [10:36] not gives any outpur [10:37] RichiV, not supported, doubt if its even possible frankly [10:37] hum [10:37] nandu: what audio device do you have? [10:37] RichiV, get ccsm [10:37] bazhang: i do remember using it b4 though [10:37] RichiV: because everything else is now designed to work with compiz fusion.. noone make sure beryl even works.. noone fixes bugs and so on [10:37] how to check [10:37] !ccsm | RichiV [10:37] RichiV: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'. If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz [10:37] nandu try lspci | grep Audio [10:37] well, beryl is outdated [10:37] oh, I forgot about case sensivity, my bad [10:37] ActionParsnip, ubuntu and xfce is about twice as fast as OSX was on my g3 [10:37] RichiV, as do others, a long time ago [10:37] ionut: tis command not give any output. [10:38] nandu: you'll have to look up what motherboard or soundcard is inside your pc [10:38] RichiV: you could install ubuntu 7.10 or something though.. that ought to work with beryl.. but then you'll be using ubuntu 7.10 [10:38] nandu try sudo lshw [10:38] Slart_, RichiV 7.10 is end of life [10:38] ok [10:38] id like to remove the boot options from a linux CD, can this be done? [10:38] i am already using 8.10 intredpid cause 8.10 + will not support my GFX [10:38] RichiV: but I don't recommend installing ubuntu 7.10 for the same reasons that I don't recommend using beryl [10:39] thanx alot [10:39] if you're having graphics support issues, why are you using Compiz at all? [10:40] pepperphd: there are lighter WMs too if you want slick but its not so easy to use, like flwm [10:40] does anyone know if the GeForce GTX 260 is supported yet? [10:40] RichiV: what OpenGL driver? [10:40] Hi. I have been having problems installing UbuntuStudio on an oldish Dell Latitude C610 laptop with a Pentium III 1Ghz processor and 1GB of RAM. I tried Ubuntu Studio 9.04 but the package manager crashed when I tried to install OpenOffice and I couldnt recover from that. Now I am running Ubuntu Studio Hardy and its ok but the wifi is unreliable. Hardy Studio is fine on my desktop machine but that has a slightly faster processor. Is the real time ker [10:41] RichiV: I would look into why you cant get your graphics working with the newer version instead of just sticking with the older ones.. that way you'll probably solve the problem altogether [10:41] daplumpkin: it's definitely supported, but as for performance I can't be sure [10:42] ActionParsnip, #1 priority is getting all of the junk that comes with installing 2 desktops [10:42] kazzy: thanks, what about the core i7 and 64bit? i jsut got this new comuter and when i try to download it it says that i'm downloading the amd64 version. does that really matter? [10:42] ionut: description: Audio device [10:42] product: 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller [10:42] vendor: Intel Corporation [10:42] physical id: 1b [10:42] bus info: pci@0000:00:1b.0 [10:42] version: 01 [10:42] nandu: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [10:42] daplumpkin: what sort of applications do you use? [10:43] kazzy: i'm planning on building a couple of websites from scratch and learning programming [10:43] ok [10:43] ugh... [10:43] inod: I just paste my audio device details. [10:44] nandu it seems your audio device is detected [10:44] daplumpkin: that's a pretty big system for that [10:44] Hi, I'm running Intrepid which comes with the package Postgresql 8.3. But I need to install an 8.2 version of it for legacy reasons. How can I do that ? [10:44] ok then how to install the drivers. [10:44] pls use pastebin and give us the output if lspci and lsusb [10:44] how do you make a .tar.gz with best compression? [10:44] kazzy: i already have a dell inspiron that is totally ubuntu, i just didn't know for sure if it would be fully compatible [10:44] ok [10:44] hey guys i have a shortcut to a program and want it to run as root when i click - ive tried adding sudo to the begining on the command but it doesnt load? [10:44] NetEcho I recommend using 7zip with ultra settings [10:44] sudo gambas2 in the shortcut properties [10:45] Hi, I'm running Intrepid which comes with the package Postgresql 8.3. But I need to install an 8.2 version of it for legacy reasons. How can I do that ? [10:45] kazzy: it is but i don't plan on buying another computer for at least another 5-7 years. my inspiron is almost 5 years old and runs great [10:45] (oops, sorry, double post) [10:45] daplumpkin: you'll want amd64 if you want to get most of the performance from it, as well [10:45] cyber_666_uk try gksudo /path/to/command [10:45] cyber_666_uk: add gksudo instead [10:45] ionut_ I thought 7zip was propriatary to windows [10:45] !info 7zip [10:45] Package 7zip does not exist in jaunty [10:45] !find 7zip [10:45] Found: p7zip, p7zip-full, p7zip-rar [10:45] NetEcho 7zip is free [10:45] yep that did it - thx [10:46] so its not like RAR where it preformes worse in a *nix environment? [10:46] kazzy: thanks, i just didn't want to download it since it said amd before asking someone more proficient than myself. i really appreciate it [10:46] NetEcho: rar runs fine here, mind you i havent used file > 20Mb [10:46] the 7z file format is open [10:46] ActionParsnip RAR is propriatary and has worse preformance under linux/unix than its WinRAR counterpart [10:46] ionut_ sweet [10:47] 7z has better compression ratio / speed the rar [10:47] ionut_ is there a gui frontend for this? [10:47] or is it command line? [10:47] found it in Add/Remove Software btw [10:47] err Applications [10:48] yeah, p7zip is just command line, but there are frontends [10:48] Ubuntu's default file archiver will recongize the 7z file format after you instlall p7zip [10:48] oh sweet [10:48] searched google but cant find the difference between sudo and gkseudo, woudl you mind? [10:48] like peazip [10:48] yea I got a 40gb backup that uncompressed takes 2+ hours to transfer over the network [10:48] ionut: I will past the output of both commands [10:48] what does the gk do? [10:48] on pastebin. [10:48] gksu is gui to su? [10:49] does 7zip also create a checksum of sorts? [10:49] daplumpkin: yw. btw, make sure the network card is not an nvidia. they work, but kinda suck, and you may not have enough room for a better one [10:49] or rather sudo I meant [10:49] so sudo only runs in the background? [10:50] typing gksu brings up popup window to put in root password [10:50] ionut: check the pastebin http://paste.ubuntu.com/264876/ out put of both commands & told me how I install the audio driver. [10:50] hrm no compression settings using ubuntu's frontend [10:50] gksu is a frontend to su and gksudo is a frontend to sudo [10:50] oh i see - great thx linuxcooldude [10:51] NetEcho you can change compression settings using the command line - 7z [10:51] kazzy: my network connection is intel, but if you're talking about my graphics card it is an nvidia [10:51] ah [10:51] it's very easy...man 7z will get you started [10:51] hi any1 here use XBMC ? [10:51] ionut: u swa output of my both commands [10:51] ubottu: !xbmc [10:51] Sorry, I don't know anything about xbmc [10:51] !anyone | JockyWilson [10:51] JockyWilson: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [10:52] hey ActionParsnip [10:52] nice to see my mentor again :D [10:52] nandu form what I see your audio controller is recognized: 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 01) [10:52] hey p1oooop1 [10:52] am not able to log into ubuntu. i installed KDE a day back. now even though i type the right pwd, nothing happens in the login screen. [10:53] What version of Ubuntu do you use? [10:53] @nandu [10:53] 9.04 [10:53] ah [10:53] 9.04 [10:53] daplumpkin: oh, I did in fact mean the network card. which uses the reverse-engineered 'forcedeth' drivers [10:53] jeeez: i'd ask in #kubuntu [10:53] ionut: I am using 9.04 version. [10:53] ok nandu [10:53] kazzy: wow i'm lost now [10:53] daplumpkin: the nvidia graphics drivers, while a bit crasy, are still far better than anything else [10:54] I agree [10:54] daplumpkin: you said the NIC is an intel. you're safe [10:54] ActionParsnip: okay, will try my luck there. but i tried switching the session to Gnome, still nothing happens [10:54] the ATI drivers don't even work for my graphics card [10:54] crashed my Xserver [10:54] :P [10:54] iocut: I dont's see any audio simbol if logging in gui mode. [10:54] Why did the rubber duckie cross the road ? [10:54] nandu if you open RhytmBox or mplayer and try to play a file do you get any errors? [10:54] kazzy: great news, i was getting really worried [10:54] XBMC created video playlist (flash videos) but when I attempt to play "to many errors" the default PAPlayer wont play them [10:54] iDangerMouse: to get squished? [10:55] To edit ubuntu [10:55] ionut: wait I will check now. [10:55] Would have to convert itself into a penguin first [10:55] kazzy: oh and i'm not using the whole system for ubuntu. i'm going to split it down the middle dual booting then add a VM on the vista side to play with ubuntu on when i have to use windows [10:55] ionut_ so 7z -m{Ultra} ? [10:55] daplumpkin: err, that's a bit odd of a setup [10:56] err nm [10:56] iDangerMouse: if you like funnies (dont run this): sudo find / -name "base" -exec chown us:us {} \; [10:56] kazzy: i had it on my last work computer and loved it. i could play around with the stuff i shouldn't in the VM version which kept my real version on the back side really clean and neat [10:56] daplumpkin: I've just used a VM in Ubuntu, and just dual booted before, but not both. [10:57] yeah, that's a good idea [10:57] ActionParsnip: Not trying it LOL already crashed my ubuntu re-installing it [10:57] iDangerMouse: all your base are belong to us [10:57] kazzy: i have to run a couple of web based programs that aren't compatible with any version of linux so i have to keep crappy vista on this one [10:57] Does any1 here use XBMC for multimedia ? [10:57] * iDangerMouse slaps ActionParsnip help me out here my card reader dosent work :( [10:57] never heard of XBMC [10:58] !info xbmc [10:58] Package xbmc does not exist in jaunty [10:58] ionut_ how the heck do you set this? the documentation is erratic on it [10:58] JockyWilson: i'd ask in #xmbc [10:58] daplumpkin: I assume you also play a lot of new games [10:58] NetEcho there is a section called examples in the 7z man page [10:58] iDangerMouse: do you get outputs in: dmesg | tail when you insert a card into the device/ [10:59] 7z a -t7z -m0=lzma -mx=9 -mfb=64 -md=32m -ms=on archive.7z dir1 [10:59] adds all files from directory "dir1" to archive archive.7z using "ultra settings [10:59] No ActionParsnip :( [10:59] kazzy: oddly enough not on a copmuter. i do tend to multi task a lot though. i play xbox, but nothing on here except the occasional game of solitaire or mah jong [10:59] I asked in official XBMC channel but they are so far up there on a******* [10:59] iDangerMouse: ok then reboot wit the device attatched and when you get a desktop, read: dmesg | less [10:59] !xbmc [10:59] Sorry, I don't know anything about xbmc [10:59] i knwo this is off topic but can i ask a quick gambas question, the gambas channel is always dead?

[11:01] daplumpkin: yeah. dual boot = 2 copies of Vista and 2 copies of Ubuntu, twice the disk usage [11:01] ah I see [11:02] kazzy: oh. i guess i misunderstood what dual botting was then. i thought that was running 1 full version of each [11:02] daplumpkin: yeah, but didn't you say you were going to install a Vista VM in Ubuntu and an Ubuntu VM in Vista? [11:02] or did I misread that? I'm a bit drowsy [11:02] no [11:02] just ubuntu on windows [11:02] I have used the Live install CD and after updating everything and installing some packages the operating system just does not want to start and sticks on a screen with fuzzy writing (white). Happened twice with two reinstalls (Only happens after installing packages!). Please help :) [11:03] the ubuntu side will be solely ubuntu and i'll put a vm with ubuntu on the vista side [11:03] Nickorz can you post what error messages you get (use pastebin) [11:04] It doesnt even let me type anything in :P [11:04] <- Newbie to linux [11:04] be back in a few [11:04] me too Nickorz [11:04] kind of [11:04] Nickorz you don't have to type anything in the Ubuntu box - just read what it says and write it here [11:04] if i want to access a sub from a module, can i just call subname (variables) or is there another way, cos its not recognising it - i get unknown identifier, the sub in the module is marked as public so it should be accessible? thx - again i knwo its off-topic [11:05] daplumpkin: I'm using Ubuntu with a Vista VM just fine, but that's just me [11:05] cyber_666_uk, what language are you talking about? [11:05] ionut_ It is all fuzzy and not really in a readable format - Its jittered over the screen and is Red / Purple / Green [11:05] sorry gambas [11:05] you dont need to do modulename.subname(variables_to_pass) do you? [11:06] hi [11:06] Nickorz that seems like a graphics adapter problem. What graphics card do you have? [11:06] please how to enable transmission 1.7.3 in the synaptic repositories ? [11:06] cyber_666_uk, you'll have to find the channel/forum where this is supported -- i'm not even certain anyone in here would know how to support that.

Like other APT front-ends, it can install/remove packages and their dependencies (on Dapper and earlier, however, only aptitude keeps track of unused dependencies). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptitudeSurvivalGuide [11:30] It handles dependencies better than apt-get [11:31] fahadsadah: ive used apt-get for so long now, its what im most comfortable with [11:31] what's the easiest way to install a new hard disk drive to a computer with jaunty installed, so that the new hard drive would be mounted to /home ? [11:31] <___> ActionParsnip, done and done, any ideas? The last ticket on any website based support had the problem placed somewhere between the network communication between ubuntu and MSN's server [11:31] fahadsadah: i actively uninstall aptitude as well as getdeb and gdebi and all the other useless fluff [11:31] !FSTAB | jhattara [11:31] jhattara: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [11:32] im unable to play videos in ubuntu [11:32] jhattara: format it, reboot in recovery mode, copy/move files, edit /etc/fstab, reboot [11:32] should i first format the drive, and move all the files while running a live disk ?

[11:32] jhattara: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingANewHardDrive [11:32] jrib, recovery mode is enough ? [11:32] jhattara: yeah, root uses /root, not /home [11:32] hey all i just installed FF3.5 from CLI and noticed that they are still using the dev codename for it and have installed it alongside FF 3.0. Im using Gnome-Do to launch all my apps and hate the fact that i cant launch 3.5 just using"Fire" as you would expect. Can i remove the original 3.0 Ubuntu build without messing up associations, or teach Gnome-Do to launch "Shiretoko" when typing "fire" ? [11:33] fahadsadah: i think its a driver problem of via chipset [11:33] b3rz3rk3r: where does /usr/bin/firefox point to? [11:33] jrib, what command should i use to move the files ? i've understood that mv might break some symbolic links [11:33] prathap: if you mean dvd you need libdvdcss2 from medibuntu repo [11:33] prathap: if you mean video files then install ubuntu-restricted-extras [11:33] jhattara: it won't [11:34] ok [11:34] webfreakz, 3.0 im guessing. So i can just point it to Shiretoko your saying? [11:34] I recently installed Jaunty, and the display is huge (icons, fonts, panels etc) with my highest resolution 1024x768 - is there any way to make the display smaller without changing the resolution? [11:34] b3rz3rk3r: i guess so, at least that's what i did when installing FF 3.5 from CLI. after that everything worked fine [11:34] new_to_linux, yes [11:34] new_to_linux: what is the output of: sudo lshw -C display [11:34] jrib, what about file owners ? [11:35] webfreakz, there are three entires there: firefox, firefox3.0 and firefox3.5 [11:35] hi, i've two computer questions. 1. what program will allow me to easily wipe files on ubuntu? 2. how can i install windows xp hebrew if i've the english license? thanks [11:35] jhattara: mv should not affect permissions/ownership [11:35] ActionParsnip: I have the 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device [11:35] RZX: 2 is answered in ##windows [11:35] jrib, so first i just format the new hard drive, then i boot in recovery mode, move all the files to the new partition, edit the fstab so that the new hard drive is mounted as /home, reboot, and enjoy my new hard drive ? [11:35] RZX: 1) take a look at shred 2) ##windows [11:35] jhattara: the issues that you probably heard about are with cp [11:35] phux: can you tell me how? [11:36] RZX: the files can be deleted using nautilus [11:36] b3rz3rk3r: firefox is probably now a symlink (shortcut) to firefox-3.0. Check it out with `file /usr/bin/firefox`. With `sudo ln -s /usr/bin/firefox-3.5 /usr/bin/firefox` (or vice-versa) you can change that. [11:37] webfreakz: you got it the rigt way round [11:37] webfreakz: you may want to rm the old first [11:37] ok :) i'm always confused with the `ln -s` options [11:37] webfreakz: firefox is just a symlink to firefox-3.0 [11:37] jhattara: yeah, something like: mv /home /home.old && mkdir /home && « mount the drive to /home » && mv /home.old/* /home [11:37] webfreakz: its ln -s [11:38] I have^H^Hd a problem with the shell (bash). :( I want to traverse a file in a for loop and execute it for every line. But "for LINE in $(cat $FILE);do foo;done" treats every `word' separated by any whitespace as one iteration - and I've found my answer! The variable $IFS holds the field separator. :) [11:38] jrib, that won't grab dotfiles though. [11:38] unop: unlikely to be any in /home [11:38] b3rz3rk3r, one thing you should also change in Shiretoko is to set it identify itself as Firefox, go to about:config with it, search for a string like Shiretoko/3.5.2 and change it to read Firefox/3.5.2 [11:38] phux: ? [11:38] unop: but you are right [11:38] ActionParsnip: ? [11:38] b3rz3rk3r: you could also just edit the menu entry for shiretoko. Right-click on "applications" and select "edit menu" [11:38] webfreakz, think iv found a way. If i edit /usr/bin/firefox with gedit and change the libdir to 3.52 rather than 3.01 [11:38] lb_, cat file | while read line; do echo "$line"; done [11:39] lb_, or even better. while read line; do echo "$line"; done < file [11:39] lb_: how does that work with the var $IFS? I still haven't figured it out yet, though I had problems with it just like you [11:39] new_to_linux: are you surfe you can't go higher than 1024x768? [11:39] webfreakz, that will launch it too right? [11:39] new_to_linux: you cna change you icon size to be smaller [11:42] b3rz3rk3r: had connection troubles. Is it solved yet? [11:43] hello everyone, exist a graphical gui to set the automount on fat32 sda drive??? [11:44] i tried to search but with no results [11:44] lime_: doesn't `apt-cache search mount gtk` return anything ? === _c0ky is now known as c0ky [11:44] unop, thanks! [11:44] b3rz3rk3r, /usr/bin/firefox is just a symbolic link to /usr/bin/firefox-3.0 [11:45] Hell, THAT'S a netsplit. [11:45] webfreak1: I only found it in a tutorial elswhere yet, still have to try if it works :) [11:45] :D === webfreak1 is now known as webfreakz [11:45] no nothing [11:46] lol floodbots are flooding [11:46] i tried with fstab but nothing to do [11:46] ActionParsnip: got dc. any advice? [11:46] now searching for some gui to resolve the problem [11:46] webfreakz, "sudo ln -s /usr/bin/firefox-3.5 /usr/bin/firefox" just gives the output that the link exists, rather than overwriting. [11:46] ActionParsnip: got dc. any advice? [11:46] webfreakz, so should i delete it and then run that, or is there something else that i need to do rather? [11:47] heh, that was cool [11:47] b3rz3rk3r: you could do " sudo rm /usr/bin/firefox && sudo ln -s /usr/bin/firefox-3.5 /usr/bin/firefox " [11:48] webfreakz, which would remove the link and then create it again as 3.5? [11:48] yep [11:48] k [11:48] thx [11:48] il try that [11:48] :) [11:48] hi guys i cant create a folder in a hd if i check permissions it says "Permissions of "disk" cannot be determined" [11:48] it worked for me :) [11:49] b3rz3rk3r: if that doesn't change the 'Shiretoko' into Firefox, check your channel log here because an other user pointed out some "About:config" setting for that! [11:49] !fsck | noobez [11:49] noobez: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot [11:50] do we need to use iptable to configure the ubuntu firewall ? [11:50] noobez: you need to mount it user writable. [11:50] s [11:50] !firewall| matu [11:50] matu: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Uncomplicated_Firewall_ufw), or 'iptables' (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo). GUI applications such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist [11:50] I've got a question myself: why can I only boot into Ubuntu using the recovery mode? The normal mode gives me after the boot-splash an black screen with a blinking cursor in the upperleft corner...? [11:50] ActionParsnip1: i clicked on "Places" and then just clicked on the hd, ive done the same for the other ones and it just mounted them and i do can create folders in them [11:51] noobez: can you pastebin the output of: mount [11:51] AcrtionParsnip1: hey man, dont know if you remember me but it's "Win". I'm in ubuntu live CD..Tried the links...not really working. I dont know where my boot partition is. [11:51] webfreakz, some websites (e.g. Facebook) check for your user agent quite dilligently and Shiretoko isn't recognized as Firefox by at least FB [11:52] jhattara: you can edit it in about:config or install a agent switcher [11:52] FB ? [11:52] FuckBook [11:52] facebook [11:52] ActionParsnip1: http://paste.ubuntu.com/264897/ [11:52] ActionParsnip: ? [11:53] noobez: ok what mount point are you accesing? [11:53] new_to_linux: sup [11:53] ActionParsnip1, i know, i've done that myself, search about:config for Shiretoko and change every instance to Firefox [11:53] ActionParsnip1: any suggestions for making the display smaller? [11:53] still same problem [11:53] jhattara: i just use an agent switcher, i can switch when sites dont like firefox [11:53] its coming and going [11:54] i tried every player [11:54] ./media/disk whom name is supposed to be "Archive" since i changed it yesterday with e2label indeed if i open gparted thatz how its named [11:54] same thing [11:54] new_to_linux: http://webupd8.blogspot.com/2009/05/reverting-xorg-video-intel-driver-of.html [11:54] ActionParsnip1: /media/disk whom name is supposed to be "Archive" since i changed it yesterday with e2label indeed if i open gparted thatz how its named [11:55] ActionParsnip1: how to see that video drivers are installed or not?

[12:01] ActionParsnip1: would that be sdc1, 2 or 3? [12:01] webfreakz, afaik Karmic has correct branding for FF3.5 [12:01] webfreakz, Jaunty still uses Shiretoko as the name of FF3.5 [12:01] the same rule worked in mandriva...

[12:11] normally audio and vedio play nicely [12:11] !fsck | noobez [12:11] noobez: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot [12:11] hi === root is now known as Guest35057 [12:12] ActionParsnip1: yeah i read this before when u posted it what im asking u is: will it perform it on both my ext3 partitions? or just on the one with the os? plus will it not perform it on the ntfs ones? thanks [12:12] when i call on skype its says problem with audio playback (ubuntu 9) [12:12] bigmack83, have you checked the volume settings for PCM?

[12:40] Halitech, easier than people keep asking can someone help me multpiple times and getting ticked cause no one is answering them [12:41] GhostWolfy, thats when you'll end up with someone telling them to be patient [12:41] if im here over 10 mins and no one has helped then its more than being patient.. [12:41] but thats just my opinion.. [12:42] now back to my other issue [12:42] GhostWolfy: if I had to type out I can't help to every question I didn't know the answer to I might as well shut down my computer [12:42] GhostWolfy, if no one has helped in 10 minutes then no one has an answer for you [12:42] ActionParsnip1, hi there again, we spoke yesterday... since then i've done a documented comparison of browser performance (linux vs win).. please look at the results if you will: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7895929 [12:42] Halitech: +1 [12:42] GhostWolfy: try to the forum [12:42] hello [12:43] GhostWolfy: what is your question ?

[12:44] GhostWolfy, if you are using windows and linux, its about the only way to work [12:44] 10 GB for /, 2x your ram (but more 2GB it's not useful) [12:44] IdleOne, i understand but if someone can acknowledge it be better than ignoring [12:44] GhostWolfy: if a tree falls in a forrest and no one is at the computer to write a script about it/ [12:45] koshie_: I have 2 GB ram - but I want run virtual machines on it also. [12:45] DDT: How much GB do you have on your hard drive DDT ? [12:45] I need help [12:45] 160 GB [12:45] DDT: So... 4GB? You can make 16GO if you want to, but it's not usefull [12:45] DDT: so, i think [12:45] too many time if i even comment on a question someone asks.. that person thinks im their 'personal answer source' then they start msging me and so forth... :P [12:45] You gonna remove your system in a very long time ? [12:45] is there a program for Ubuntu that records video from your VHS tapes to DVD? [12:45] root__: backtrack has its own support channel. We dont support 'backtrack' here. [12:46] Can't eclipse be installed without installing OpenJDK? I have Sun's Java installed, and openjdk-6-jre is listed as a dependency for eclipse o.0 [12:46] koshie_: so about 2GB swap is good for me? [12:46] DDT: if you have enouh ram to run your desired apps you dont need any. 2Gb should be plenty for anyone [12:46] DDT: You have a lot of GB, so you can make a slice of... 4, or more [12:46] DDT: 1.5-2 is good [12:46] But 2GO it'es good :) [12:46] GB* [12:46] do you know addres this chanell ?? [12:47] But 2GB it's good* [12:47] hi, I want to do a dist-upgrade, is there anyway that I can 'checkpoint' the system to easily roll it back in case I run into problems? [12:47] root__: #backtrack ?

[12:47] aaron11: you can go to #test [12:48] DDT: any other question? :) [12:48] root__: if you are planing on using backtrack you should get in the habbit of reading their docs/faq/guides.

[12:52] DDT: good luck [12:52] DDT, use ext3 and look at remastersys [12:52] thx kosie_ and Halitech [12:52] But DDT, all times I've use ext4, I've lose my system ! [12:52] With ext3 any problem [12:52] koshie_ :hmm you mean rsync of the total harddrive? [12:52] ok, I will use ext3 [12:52] tvkid: i don't know [12:53] how do I connect to an unsecure wifi from the console? [12:53] DDT: but if you want a /boot, I believe ext2 is good. [12:53] rohdef, http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-troubleshoot-wireless-network-connection-in-ubuntu.html [12:53] DDT, use remastersys to back your base install and then configure rsync to copy day to day data to a seperate drive [12:54] psycho_oreos, thanks [12:54] rohdef, nw [12:55] Does there exist a channel for offtopic :) ?

[13:16] It's for what ? Picture and video ? [13:16] Question, why does service --status-all | grep "boot" still put out the entire list of services? I've got little experience with ubuntu but I thought I should be able to do it like this :p [13:17] SinofEnvy: Try using service --status-all 2>&1 | grep "boot" [13:17] how can i see the contents of a deb file from the commandline? [13:17] show ? [13:17] i have ubuntu 9.04 installed. i want to install Windows to another hard drive in the computer. can i do that without overwriting ubuntu, and getting it to ask me which OS to boot into every time i start the computer? [13:17] why 2>&1? [13:17] Because you did a grep all. just try the service -status [13:17] boot [13:17] koshie_: i try. thanks [13:17] what does that do [13:17] maybe a silly question (but..) is there a way to enable CTRL + C & CTRL + V inside the termial window? thx [13:17] SinofEnvy: All Unix programs have at least three "streams": stdin - input (your keyboard), stdout - output, and stderr - output but for errors. [13:17] cyber_666_uk, just use: Crtl+Shift+ V [13:17] hi every body [13:17] All means everything. [13:18] oh [13:18] lol [13:18] that service command is a little odd..... [13:18] <^mNotIntelligent> etbl, dpkg -L [13:18] cyber_666_uk, np ;p [13:18] <^mNotIntelligent> !hi | dz-attacker [13:18] dz-attacker: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [13:18] SinofEnvy: Usually, error messages are written to stderr, so they're displayed even if stdout is redirected somewhere (in your example, stdout is sent to grep's stdin) [13:18] hi, any one know how to make the wicd to connct to wireless with WPE? [13:19] Greets to Dr_Willis. How are you today. Nice to see you again. :) [13:19] Hay Curly_Q [13:19] garrp: There is no WPE. There are only WEP and WPA. (And WPA2) [13:19] ^mNotIntelligent: can i actually view the contents of files in the deb? [13:19] je, sorry,. wep [13:19] garrp: run wicd, find your wireless, type your password... :p [13:19] that service command seems to be using the stderr to print out its info.. not stdout (i think i got that right) [13:19] etbl: yes [13:19] webfreakz: how? [13:19] i only know there's some GUI app for that [13:20] <^mNotIntelligent> etbl, i guess not. you can only see the list of files,,, [13:20] just double click the .deb file [13:20] ja, the problem is that it works with wpa and wpa2, but not with wep [13:20] <^mNotIntelligent> etbl, for that you have to extract/unpack the deb, else its not possible [13:20] webfreakz: i'm on server edition [13:20] <^mNotIntelligent> webfreakz, cllicking simulates unpacking, right? [13:20] cyber_666_uk, use ctrl + shift + V or C in a terminal [13:20] oh, my bad [13:20] Is there a command to download a package with its dependencies from repositories, preferably to the current folder and not the apt cache? [13:21] ^mNotIntelligent: how do i unpack the deb? [13:21] (from the cmdline) [13:21] <^mNotIntelligent> etbl, use dpkg -X command [13:21] Where are you from Dr_Willis? I am from Massachusetts U.S.A. M.I.T. ? [13:21] In indiana. [13:21] Nice. [13:21] <^mNotIntelligent> etbl, its dpkg -x [13:21] What do you do for a living? [13:22] I work for Chrysler. [13:22] ^mNotIntelligent: now, will that have any effect on the state of my system, other than having created a few files where the deb got unpacked to? [13:22] I see. Do you program their computers? [13:22] * Dr_Willis lives on IRC it seems :) [13:22] Curly_Q: nope. :) dont touch the things. [13:22] I.e., robotics? [13:22] OK. [13:22] <^mNotIntelligent> etbl, nopes...no changes to your existing system [13:23] ok [13:23] I'm sorry for you :P [13:23] will it just unpack to $PWD? [13:23] I have an internship with a CISCO Networking Academy here and have been enrolled for about 5 years now. [13:24] Dr_Willis: what /do/ you do? now you've got me curious. :) [13:24] !ot [13:24] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [13:24] <^mNotIntelligent> etbl, i think you can provide a directory you want to unpack to.... [13:24] I teach A+ and Microsoft and Linux stuff and Electronics and Electrical Engineering. [13:24] ^mNotIntelligent: how? [13:24] heh - chatting about work in #puppylinux now. :) fun [13:24] <^mNotIntelligent> etbl, wait a min. lemme check the dpkg man page [13:26] Dr_Willis, I have heard a few good thinks about Puppy Linux ... what is your take on that ? [13:26] hey guys, is there an app that will allow em to map gamepad buttons to keys? [13:26] <^mNotIntelligent> etbl, its pretty simple: dpkg -x [13:26] Ok Cheese is not workin with my webcam, any other sugestion what could i do? [13:27] Is there a command to download a package with its dependencies from repositories, and not install it? [13:27] Polterge|st: it works :) [13:27] is there a way to ignore dependencies when installing things? [13:27] cool [13:27] hehe [13:27] b3rz3rk3r, thats a good question, bump [13:28] <^mNotIntelligent> b3rz3rk3r, thats disastrous [13:28] zorael: you could use the synaptic, create download script for that [13:28] b3rz3rk3r: I'm trying to do the same thing, heh [13:28] ^mNotIntelligent, is that a yes or a no? [13:28] zorael: but I don't think there is a apt command or such. [13:28] ^mNotIntelligent, i cant think of any other way around this though.. trying to get Spring working, but its wants to remove a host of packages that i want to keep [13:28] Slart_: ah, bleh. preferably looking for a terminal command, haven't got Synaptic installed [13:29] hello? can anyone help me with installing windows as a second OS to a system which has ubuntu? [13:29] <^mNotIntelligent> innomen, afaik you can force install avoiding dependencies [13:29] !dualboot | SnowyCheetah750 [13:29] SnowyCheetah750: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [13:29] b3rz3rk3r, don't bother, typically the people that tell you you shouldent want ot do something don't know how to do it, in my experiance anyway and there are always exceptions [13:29] ^mNotIntelligent, well cool then, share with the class please :) [13:29] ^mNotIntelligent: Likewise I want to install eclipse in Karmic, and it *depends* on OpenJDK instead of on java1-runtime or java2-runtime, so Sun's Java can't fill that dependency [13:29] dual booting is running both at the same time, right? [13:30] zorael: ah.. then I don't really know how to do it.. one would think that a similar feature would be available using apt but I haven't run into it so far [13:30] I think you can let dpkg --force-dependency, but you'd need the .debs [13:30] hi [13:30] SnowyCheetah750, yea, selecet at start up [13:30] SnowyCheetah750, its what you asked for, yes [13:30] hi [13:30] ok [13:30] <^mNotIntelligent> b3rz3rk3r, in that case you can just get rid of the package you want avoiding others that you dont want to uninstall [13:30] mm, who can know, why WINE don't play sounds? [13:31] doesnt sqlite support more than 4 data types? [13:31] wine has some issues with pulse audio in some cases i hear [13:31] theres nothing for dealing with dates? or am i missing something? [13:31] <^mNotIntelligent> zorael, may be you can do some tweaks/hacks and make eclipse use/depend on the verson of java run time you want... [13:31] neither alsa nor oss doesn't working :( [13:32] Dr_Willis, i was haveing pulse audio alsa issues wit both 32 bit ubuntu and fedora, 32 and 64. i dont know what to blame, pulse audio or alsa, maybe both heh [13:32] <^mNotIntelligent> innomen, wait a min...lemme check [13:32] ^mNotIntelligent, ok its "libtorrentraster2" but that is required for about 5-6 other programs that i use, if it were just my torrent client (deluge) then i would switch, but its not. So i was looking to force install Spring ignoring this one lib, in the hopes that it would work? [13:32] ^mNotIntelligent: Yeah, but OpenJDK would still install and take up disk space [13:32] I'm almost positive Eclipse will use Sun's if I managed to just get it installed [13:33] system plays sound normally, but in winecfg -> audio i see "default" instead the name of soun card, what can it be? [13:33] but Karmic's eclipse-platform package wants openjdk-6-jre, Jaunty's wanted java1-runtime or java2-runtime or java-cjg-compat [13:33] b3rz3rk3r, it would also be useful for older apps that depand packages by old names whos functions are provided by other packages not in the dependancy list [13:33] <^mNotIntelligent> zorael, i can not assure you that my mentioned approach is going to work in your case as well..but that does work quite often... [13:33] mb, i need some drivers? [13:33] innomen, yes it would [13:33] i have a problem to run my new webcam. Any help? [13:34] <^mNotIntelligent> zorael, it will not get installed if you can make it use your flavor of java... [13:34] b3rz3rk3r, projectm while not exactly an older program did that, it asked for older versions of things [13:34] <^mNotIntelligent> Al2, go ahead [13:34] !ask | Al2 [13:34] Al2: 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. :-) [13:34] ^mNotIntelligent: I [13:34] er [13:34] My linuxdcpp crashes every now and then, what do i do to solve the problem? [13:34] i have a technika webcam [13:34] can anyone help? [13:35] <^mNotIntelligent> viglim, yep [13:35] i haven't sound in wine, what can it be? [13:35] ^mNotIntelligent: I can install it and make it use my flavor of Java, but not without installing OpenJDK at the same time, despite it not being needed (since Eclipse would use Sun's). So it's not a dependency - the real dependency is having *any* JRE - and I suspect this is a packaging mistake that I'm looking to circumvent [13:35] ^mNotIntelligentit: have a responze on dmesg, but can't make it workin [13:36] well, guess no gamers in here at the moment, i'll try again later, good luck b3rz3rk3r, have a sweet day everyone [13:36] zorael, I'm not an expert but you can use aptitude search "~Dpackage_name" to search for dependencies, and aptitude download to get the .debs. that would need a little script to run the search on all the depending packages too, I think [13:36] :) [13:36] selam hello [13:36] sound card: SB Live! 5.1, in system it works normally, but in wine applications i hear silent only [13:36] Raging_Hog: aptitude download was exactly what I was looking for, thanks :3 [13:36] <^mNotIntelligent> zorael, thats quite possible....try Raging_Hog's advice... [13:36] * Dr_Willis wonders how you 'hear silence' :) [13:37] Kaan, waalaycom salam [13:37] <^mNotIntelligent> Kaan, hello [13:37] do your speak Turkhis? [13:38] zorael, I also somehow stumbled upon this, haven't read it tho http://kmandla.wordpress.com/2007/07/24/howto-download-packages-and-dependencies-for-offline-installation/ [13:38] zorael: don't you want to edit the source package? [13:38] Hmm. I installed xubuntu a while ago (8.04) and am using it as a server mostly. It's on a small 9GB HDD, with a larger storage drive. I -mostly- control it through the CLI, but occasionally I start xvnc and use the GUI, anything installed by default I can remove? [13:38] Hello [13:39] How are your? [13:39] is there a program for Ubuntu that records video from your VHS tapes to DVD? [13:39] mb, i don't speak english wery good// so, i couldn't do it with sound settings and winecfg. maybe i need some drivers (ubuntu 904)? [13:39] jrib: and rebuild it? If need be, perhaps, but wouldn't merely forcing it to install (dpkg --force-depends) everything except OpenJDK (after having downloaded the debs) just do the trick? [13:39] zorael: pretty sure apt would complain that desp are not satisfied if the package does actually depend on the openjdk package [13:40] zorael: anyway the responsible thing to do is fix the bug :) [13:40] In the upgrade from intrepid to jaunty my remote control has started misbehaving. Most buttons work but some don't. I think the ones that don't work are the ones I've set to send non-printable characters, e.g. carriage return (\r). Anyone know of any changes that might have affected it? irw shows the buttons are working and still sending the same commands. This is with lirc, irpty, mpd and ncmpc.. phew. :) [13:40] jrib: I haven't had anyone at #ubuntu-motu respond yet :3 [13:41] zorael: what package are you looking at exactly? [13:41] director whereto find? [13:42] <^mNotIntelligent> GuidMorrow, never heard of something like this. did you google, btw? [13:42] jrib: eclipse-platform [13:42] jrib: Compare http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/eclipse-platform and http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/eclipse-platform [13:43] jrib: Jaunty's depends on the virtual java-runtime packages that can be satisfied by several JREs, Karmic's just depends on OpenJDK [13:43] zorael: do all the depends for the karmic package exist in jaunty? [13:44] Authority here to find??? [13:44] zorael: you can probably just try to build the karmic package from source and use that if they do [13:45] jrib: Extra lol; eclipse-platform depends on *Firefox* [13:45] I have a problem tu run my new webcam technika. Please help [13:45] I seriously don't believe the app needs Firefox [13:45] (Karmic's) [13:45] zorael: just use vim, dependencies are easier :) [13:46] <^mNotIntelligent> Al2, did you google on the same prob? [13:46] ^mNotIntelligent: no [13:46] jrib: I just want to use something that automates as much as possible until I get used to the language ;3 [13:47] I have netbeans installed, but I've used eclipse earlier and prefer that [13:47] zorael: [13:48] zorael: assuming you are a vim fan... http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1213 ? [13:48] <^mNotIntelligent> Al2, please try that first...you may not get the exact response to your query unless you find someone out here who is aware of that.....though you may get some hints on how to fix that in the other case...so better google it out as the first step...then ask here...that way you can quickly fix the problem [13:48] zorael: you know how to build the karmic package from source? [13:48] ^mNotIntelligent: thx [13:49] whne ever I start up xorg my resolution is out of range, how do I fix this without having to always go to the buggy desply setting GUI at every boot up [13:49] <^mNotIntelligent> Al2, no probs dude... [13:49] * Raging_Hog rages more than usual if he has to use some other editor than vim [13:50] anyone here using irpty? [13:50] jrib: I think so, yeah. fetch source with build-dep, (modify as I please), then debuild or checkinstall or dpkg-buildpackage === hey` is now known as grumete [13:50] !info irpty [13:50] Package irpty does not exist in jaunty [13:50] jrib: er, fetch source with apt-get source, fetch dependencies with build-dep* [13:50] <^mNotIntelligent> brb! [13:50] zorael: right, if you do it that way, just remember to change the deb-src lines to point to karmic [13:51] irpty doesn't exist? Am I supposed to use something else? [13:52] Hi all" Can someone post me his/her grub.conf plz? That would be realy nice :) [13:52] jrib: I'm running Karmic, so they already do. (the question I asked here instead of #ubuntu+1 was on how to download packages, so figured it wasn't Karmic-specific enough to warrant it being asked there) [13:52] zorael: ah, I see [13:53] ro0: why...? [13:54] hmm looking it up, irpty does seem to still come with lirc. [13:55] so it's obviously not that simple [13:55] anyway, most buttons still do work === hus- is now known as Husaini === Kaan is now known as WolfSaGe_ [13:56] !info irpty [13:56] Package irpty does not exist in jaunty [13:56] whne ever I start up xorg my resolution is out of range, how do I fix this without having to always go to the buggy desply setting GUI at every boot up === WolfSaGe_ is now known as Authorized [13:57] ubuntu.com disagrees [13:57] i think [13:57] hmm [13:58] maybe it was removed because it wasn't working properly. >.< [13:58] \\seven [13:58] or lack of a maintainer [14:00] i have got it installed though (must of stuck around). it's just not working quite right. [14:01] no just checked, irpty is definitely in the lirc package with jaunty :) [14:01] http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/i386/lirc/filelist [14:01] back to square one [14:02] G'day world - updated to 9.04 jaunty last week and i do not have any sound on my firefox browser [14:02] hi [14:03] does anyone know what the intel wireless channel is? [14:03] yo yo yo [14:04] big-bro do you mean you don't get any sound with flash content or everything? [14:04] !wifi [14:04] Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [14:04] basically everything - even the start up sound does not work [14:06] you mean you don't have sound system wide? i thought it was just firefox [14:06] Does anyone know where I can find informaiton about intel wireless 3945 [14:06] Hi, I removed pidgin notification icon from top panel. Is there any way to bring it back ? (drag-n-drop pidgin here is not the same) [14:07] it was everything - but i can listen to files from my folders now, but i cannot hear anything whilst using the browser [14:07] what is the initial priority of user processes ? [14:07] calwig: try: sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-jaunty-generic [14:07] BlackCow: 0, I think [14:07] calwig: if you are using jaunty [14:08] BlackCow: but that should be easy to test.. just run something that waits for input and use htop/top to check the prio [14:08] calwig: http://linuxtechie.wordpress.com/2008/04/24/making-intel-wireless-3945abg-work-better-on-ubuntu-hardy/ replace all you read on that page with jaunty, not hardy [14:08] calwig: or whatever release you are usin [14:08] BlackCow: or wait.. priority 20, niceness 0 [14:10] is there a way to have `diff` do a 3-way comparison? [14:10] morning all [14:11] etbl: try using diff3 [14:11] Slart_: isntalled by default? [14:11] big-bro: sorry, haven't encountered that. [14:12] !info diff [14:12] anyone ? (2) I removed pidgin notification icon from top panel. Is there any way to bring it back ? (drag-n-drop pidgin here is not the same) [14:12] diff (source: diffutils): File comparison utilities. In component main, is required. Version 2.8.1-12ubuntu1 (jaunty), package size 110 kB, installed size 744 kB [14:12] etbl: I think so.. it's included in the "diff" package.. and I think that's installed by default [14:12] v4vijayakumar: if you right click the panel then select add to pane is it there? [14:12] does anyone know an alternative file manager I can run on WINE? [14:12] the WINE File Manager hangs on my Ubuntu [14:13] Slart_: yeah, its there. what's the deal with the --diff-program parameter? [14:13] can someone help me figure this out? as soon as i started up my laptop, conky has said that i've been downloading something from my eth0 connection at a speed of 1500kb/s. but the processes don't have anything eating up a lot of cpu or memory. how can i figure out what is doing this? [14:13] can i use a custom command there? [14:13] ActionParsnip1: yes [14:13] bawtboi1: http://www.simplehelp.net/2006/10/11/10-windows-explorer-alternatives-compared-and-reviewed/ [14:13] v4vijayakumar: then add it and you should be ok. I dont use it myself but usually stuff is added that way [14:13] DefineByte - i went into system - sounds and changed everything to OSS to recieve sound from my files, but , not sure what i have to do to recieve sound through the browser [14:14] Slart_: eg: diff3 --diff-program='diff -y --suppress-common-lines' file1 file2 file3 [14:14] etbl: not really sure.. but I'm guessing you can do some other diff-software to do the actual comparing.. not sure though.. haven't played around with it [14:14] bawtboi1: check the appdb list for compatibilit [14:15] thanks [14:16] ActionParsnip1: got it. what I removed is indicator applet. now, added that back [14:16] bawtboi1: wy do you need a file browser for wine? [14:16] v4vijayakumar: cool [14:16] I think I have been hacked... this morning, signed into my other machine, no desktop panels no network connection, everything else ok.... how do I restore? gnome failsafe works [14:16] !fixpanel [14:16] Sorry, I don't know anything about fixpanel [14:16] !resetpanels [14:16] To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [14:17] Pici: cheers === zach is now known as Guest20382 [14:18] jiohdi: has that sorted it? [14:18] will the same thing work for Xfce? [14:18] jiohdi: erm i think so yeah [14:18] action, I cannot check at the moment, at work, will try on break [14:19] jiohdi: use tab to complete my nick ;) [14:19] ActionParsnip1: sorry :) [14:19] jiohdi: np bro [14:19] can someone do that much damage over irc to my system? [14:19] I'm getting "this version of vim was not compiled with the diff feature" [14:19] my network connection is not working either, how do I fix that? [14:19] what package do i need to install in order to correct that? [14:20] jiohdi: wired or wireless? [14:20] etbl: vim-full, probably. [14:20] wired [14:20] grawity: will that install a gui/x-server? [14:20] jiohdi: No, nobody can access your computer over IRC. [14:20] where to find settings for evince, thank you. [14:20] haha.. access over IRC [14:20] etbl: You're on a server? vim-nox then, maybe. [14:20] jiohdi: possibly if they can capture the service they cacapture the rights of the process, hence why running irc as root is as dumb as it gets [14:20] that would be cool [14:20] hi [14:21] jiohdi: UNLESS you tend to accept every .exe someone sends to you. [14:21] ActionParsnip1: I do not run it as root as far as I know [14:21] bawtboi1: It isn't anything new. Google for "mIRC remote code execution exploits" [14:21] jiohdi: if you run: whoami it wil tell you [14:21] Hi I'm having some problems with dualbooting an installation with Grub [14:21] grawity, I have accepted nothing .exe so how could all my start up scripts become so corrupted? [14:21] jiohdi: I don't know. But I am sure it is not related to you being on IRC. [14:21] I configure evince to work with vi-like key binding, but forget where I did it. [14:22] jiohdi: if you run: ifconfig eth0 you should have an ip address assigned by dhcp, if not then check connections. You can also run: sudo lshw -C network to see what chip it uses and diagnose using websearches [14:22] hi [14:22] big-bro: never used oss so i don't know how to get that working. [14:22] ActionParsnip1: I ran gnome-failsafe and the network connection works just fine [14:23] ACan anybody help me with BSNL Dataone connection problems in ubuntu? [14:23] irpty seems to be working in everything except ncmpc so I guess I'll have to start looking at that. [14:23] how can I set, that vsftpd only allows 3 password attempts and then blocks for eg. an hour to discourage brute force attacks? [14:24] jiohdi: then you will need to find out what you can and cant do using various pings to see what you can and cannot do [14:24] any grub experts here? [14:24] Action, it says network disabled === Mr is now known as Guest18893 [14:24] jiohdi: you may need to use gconf to apply settings [14:24] since fail safe works, it should be a corrupt start up file, no? [14:24] hello everyone. === matthew is now known as Guest51446 [14:25] no worries DefineByte .. i think it might have something to do with flash maybe...thanks anyway.

[14:36] hello [14:36] big-bro: i'm sure it can be made to work with pulse/alsa, you just need to ask the right people. tried on the forums? [14:36] hey snuffy47 [14:36] anyone interested in giving me some help in deciding how to proceed with a media server and htpc set up [14:36] sup tri [14:36] DefineByte - that was my next mission [14:37] ubottu: The 9.04 distro seems to have nice gui for all types of connections, but it's all so confusing. I would really love to know how to make those work. Actually it did work until yesterday, but now ... :) [14:37] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [14:37] ActionParsnip1: I do not have any program nor command called gconfig [14:38] has anyone installed XBMC with ubuntu server to run as media server and hptc? === clusty_ is now known as clusty [14:38] jiohdi: i'm not sure dude, you could try setting static IPs in /etc/network/interfaces [14:39] jiohdi: ive had this before but it was AGES ago (Gutsy) and I just reinstalled === matthew is now known as Guest38292 === Guest38292 is now known as dennisnuel [14:40] ActionParsnip1: I do believe that the problem lies in a corrupted start up script, I need to know how to fix that [14:41] jiohdi: theres the startup items in the admin menu, or you can check wats going on with bum [14:41] !bum | jiohdi [14:41] jiohdi: Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto [14:41] bum... what a name for a command [14:41] Tarthen: Get used to funny command names. [14:42] Tarthen: theres clit too [14:42] grawity: And finger. [14:42] Tarthen: That one I know, I wrote a fingerd in PHP [14:42] grawity: Developers have humour too :D [14:42] Tarthen: less is a great example of that, less is more [14:43] Tarthen: and more is less...hence the more command [14:43] And finger isn't just a random funny name. [14:43] grawity: More is less, but backwards x3 [14:43] "Prior to the finger program, the only way to get this information was with a who program that showed IDs and terminal line numbers for logged-in users, and people used to run their fingers down the who list. Earnest named his program after this concept." [14:43] http://www.overclock.net/linux-unix/503194-ebook-reader.html [14:43] makes sense [14:43] There is a 'cat' alternative named 'dog' [14:44] nice [14:44] grawity: realy? thats funny :D [14:44] what does it do? [14:44] The same thing [14:44] Tarthen: The same thing + support for HTTP and some conversion options. [14:44] http://www.penguin-soft.com/penguin/man/1/dog.html [14:45] I wonder if roflmao is a command [14:45] hi2all [14:45] if you were building a media server would you use it as a htpc also? [14:45] hello everyone [14:45] Tarthen: it can be if you like [14:45] Tarthen: sudo ln -s /usr/bin/firefox /usr/bin/roflmao [14:45] ActionParsnip1: Someone needs to write a man replacement called "ape" [14:45] Tarthen: ;) [14:45] snuffy47: htpc? [14:46] hello [14:46] ActionParsnip1: Does the same fling, but flings the commands all over your walls [14:46] thing*, but flings [14:46] huh? [14:46] hello [14:47] !hi [14:47] Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [14:47] ActionParsnip1: "ape" would do what "man" does, except instead of listing commands, throw them at your walls :P [14:47] 有人使用中文吗？ [14:47] Tarthen: oh, gotcha [14:48] ÄãºÃ [14:48] Oh, also. Question. How good will 9.04 run on a 800mhz CPU? And what can I do to cut down resource usage [14:48] well I am tring to diecide if I should use an old athlon 2600 xp computer to make a media server and then build a hometheater computer or just buy new equipment and put it all in one box [14:48] !cn | wonder_ [14:48] wonder_: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [14:48] sounds like we could make a monty python distro like this :P [14:48] My friend's made the "ubuntu bomb", a 800mhz box with 2GB RAM, a 128mb gpu and a dell shell xD [14:49] hello? [14:49] There should be a command '/me' in some distro [14:49] The harddrives are stickytaped in place, lol [14:49] anybody here can helpme? [14:49] ÊÇ·ñ¸Ã˵ÍíÉϺÃÄØ £¿ wonder_ [14:49] Nemoniko: Just ask your actual question. [14:49] Tarthen: nice. id watch it doesnt melt if the drive gets too hot [14:49] thank you! ubottu, i use irc the first time [14:50] wonder_: Ubottu is a bot - an automated program. [14:50] ActionParsnip1: Surprisingly, it boots only about ten or so seconds after Vista on a 3.2ghz P4 [14:50] I got a laptop emachines E525, I installed the latest version of ubuntu 9.04, and was succesfull, but can't find the network lan adapter [14:51] ActionParsnip1: However, do you know how to cut down any idle resource usage? Parrantly it sits on 33% idle. [14:51] but i have the wireless driver [14:51] Nemoniko: «ifconfig -a» does not show it ? and «lspci | grep -i net» ? [14:51] ActionParsnip1: i couldnt open a folder in one of my hds so i accessed it from bash with sudo and do whatever i wanted, after closing the hd window i had this output in the terminal (nautilus:6778): Eel-WARNING **: "nautilus-directory.c: directories" hash table still has 6 elements at quit time [14:51] seahorse nautilus module shutdown what does it mean? thanks [14:51] erUSUL: im gonna try [14:51] waitme [14:52] noobez: Don't worry, that's normal [14:52] hi [14:52] Tarthen: you can use bum to reduce startup items, some are useless [14:52] bye :) [14:53] Tarthen: also uninstall unecessary packages [14:53] Tarthen: oh yeah? thanks. but what is it anyway? [14:53] allo [14:53] y a pas ubuntu en fr [14:53] !fr [14:53] Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr [14:54] thank u [14:54] de rien [14:54] erUSUL: the system can showme the ethernet adapter! [14:54] but how can activate? [14:54] Nemoniko: use the network manager... system>preferences>network settings [14:55] erUSUL: ok [14:56] sorry... got booted off [14:56] Did I miss the grub expert? [14:56] with linux raid 5 will sata 1.5 still get okay transfer rates [14:56] pyRunner: could ask in #grub [14:57] erUSUL: add ? [14:57] i need paste the mac address? [14:57] ActionParsnip1: Thanks for the advice! [14:57] for lan network adapter? [14:57] Nemoniko: i the first tab your card should already be there... as auto eth0 or something like that [14:58] how much reasources will the linux raid five take [14:58] DefineByte - Good News, just found a forum and fixed it, all is good.. [14:58] fyi i managed to fix the problem. i rebooted...I know, but it's a sin to reboot in Linux, right? >.< Seems like it got stuck while running mpd --create-db. [14:58] can a 1.6 athlon and 2G ram handle it and carry out data sharing [14:58] snuffy47: there is apnalty in writtes for the calculation of the parity and in reads [14:58] big-bro: excellent news. what was the fix? [14:59] rge [14:59] rgr [14:59] ok i have a question i really don't want to ask, is it possible to resize a ubuntu partition to install windows, i'd rather not have to format and reinstall both ubuntu and windows. [14:59] snuffy47: i guess you will have to try out, is hard to make guesses [14:59] erUSUL: in the firs tab not appear lan network adapter [15:00] Nemoniko: appears when you do « ifconfig -a » ? [15:00] zer0her0, take a look at resize2fs [15:00] Hello all, I'm wondering, in Ubuntu, which framework is responsible for calling ifup when a new network interface gets added? [15:00] zer0her0: Sure. But you cannot resize a parition while it is mounted, so the best thing to do would be to boot off of a liveCD and use gparted from there [15:00] dirker: NetworkManager, I guess. [15:00] I would like to clone my windows xp partition (live knopix) with dd command to an image file. I would like to use it in case of windows crash, that i can reinstall the windows xp system. Is it possible with dd command (clone the partition) or not? [15:00] zer0her0: probably yes.. gparted knows howto resize partitions, but even it says that it can do it, i eould make backups [15:01] sphenxes: yes [15:01] erUSUL: pan0 Link encap: Ethertnet addresHW (macnumber) [15:01] grawity: who tells NetworkManager about the new device? [15:01] sphenxes: windows may complain if you change your hardware etc.etc. but it should work [15:01] DefineByte - it had to do with libsound and pulse audio..it was an easy fix [15:01] sphenxes: For cloning, get Clonezilla. 92 or so MB and supports NTFSclone, partclone and dd. [15:01] simplexio: yes hehe i know ;) i generally don't resize like that but it's a rare occassion that i need to install windows semi quickly to run some 3d stuff [15:01] dirker: HAL, I think (or it could be udev, I never understood the difference) [15:02] sphenxes: Is a live CD [15:02] good to know. thx :) [15:02] grawity: thanks a lot :-) [15:02] deadlines are annoying [15:02] Nemoniko: pan0 is not a "real" ethernet card... you should have eth0 or eth1 [15:02] zer0her0: hoe advanced 3d stuff, vbox has somekinf 3d support nowdays for opengl, and wine may help too [15:02] Tarris, yes [15:02] erUSUL: so not appear [15:02] Tarthen yes [15:02] ?? [15:03] Nemoniko: do « lspci | grep -i net » paste that in pastebin [15:03] !paste | Nemoniko [15:03] Nemoniko: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic [15:03] simplexio: sadly...directx 3d :( [15:03] and i tried vbox [15:03] oka [15:03] i currently actually have my copy of windows running in vbox, hm i wonder if it's going to be a problem to run it native as well... [15:03] erUSUL: ok [15:03] zer0her0: atlest keep your livecd on hand, windows installer probably overwrites your grub [15:03] what are qt options? [15:04] simplexio: good call. [15:04] zer0her0: there is some "hacks" to run same windows install from vbox and native [15:04] zer0her0: newer tried, but i think its possible [15:04] simplexio: what do you mean [15:04] simplexio, windows install always overwrites the MBR [15:04] hello aethelrick - my video card is : integrated sis real 256e graphics [15:05] SiS is horrid Dx [15:05] Many users complain about Windows overwriting the MBR. But a lot more would complain if it didn't. [15:05] zer0her0: you can install vbox to run virtual machine from real partiotion, and i think there is way to tell windows that it may havetwo sets of hardware [15:05] grawity: attleast, it would be fun if they would give you a choice [15:06] simplexio: oooohh!! [15:06] You need windows to have sysprep installed I believe [15:06] i'll google that now [15:06] :) [15:06] zer0her0: attleast i remeber seeing that kind of howto somewhere, but i sound too hard to do to and i didnt have any reson to boot native windows [15:07] i rarely do, i barely boot the vbox [15:07] simplexio: Imagine you are a Joe Random User, who has not much knowledge about computers, but needs to install Windows. "It's asking me if I want to overwrite the MBR. What's a MBR? I just want to install Windows." [15:07] grawity, most of them don't know how to use the installer as it is now. [15:08] oh, in linux i didnt use vboxed windows that much, nowdays in windows i run vboxed ubuntu allways, windows dosent have all those nice features when it comes to run X progs over X tunnel etc.. [15:09] hi how can i put vlc as video default app? [15:09] grawity: sure.. i can understand that point. but it wouldnt be that hard to give users option. besides my opinion is that joe basicusers shouldnt touch computers if they dont be ready to loose all data.. [15:09] !defaultapp | noobez [15:09] noobez: To change the default application for a filetype in Nautilus, right-click on a file, select Properties -> Open With, and then change the setting. [15:10] simplexio: Yeah, there could be Shift-F10 for "geek mode" (just like there already is Shift-F12 for Command Prompt) [15:10] jrib: tried that but even if its written on that guide that it would by then open all files with same extension with the preferred app, it doesnt do it [15:11] grawity: or licence to use computers, so we could keep biggest idiots away [15:11] noobez: what? what guide? [15:11] simplexio: That's... more evil than Microsoft itself. [15:11] (kind of joking) [15:11] jrib: on the ubuntu wiki [15:12] noobez: I didn't give you any guide on the ubuntu wiki... [15:12] noobez: just try what ubottu said [15:12] grawity: on bad day im stand 100% nbehind that.. but well somehow basicuser need to get advanced user [15:12] jrib: indeed U didnt give it to me but what the bot suggested is the same thatz written on the wiki [15:12] hi [15:12] noobez: right, so try it [15:12] jrib: i told u i tried it already and... [15:12] jrib: tried that but even if its written on that guide that it would by then open all files with same extension with the preferred app, it doesnt do it [15:13] noobez: read more closely. You have to click on Properties first [15:13] i want to change my partition .... any 1 can help me... ,purvesh [15:13] is it possible to chroot a ssh user in /etc/passwd using path or do you need to do something else? [15:14] erUSUL: http://imagebin.org/62462 [15:14] purvesh: ? gparted GUI, or fdisk from cli [15:14] jrib: i dont think u want to help me, i told u i right click on properties then on open with and selected VLC but... [15:14] simplexio, my os is ubuntu 8.10 [15:14] noobez: I do, but your responses don't really make sense. Can you write complete sentences? [15:15] jrib: it doesnt open with it all the files with the same extensions of the file i just changed the open with to [15:15] Hey, anyone got any idea why OIDENTD my OIDENTD isn't working - Ive done everything in the manual. [15:15] It actually worked while using 8.10, but when I upgraded to Jaunty, it stopped :( [15:15] noobez: ok. Does the file you clicked on now open with vlc when you double click? [15:15] jrib: what is your problem man? are you here to help or what? [15:15] brz: Run 'sudo fuser -n tcp 113', what does it say? [15:16] jrib: yes the specific file does, but NOT ALL THE OTHER ONES WITH THE SAME EXTENSIONS as instead explained on the wiki [15:16] noobez: I'm being serious. [15:16] grawity: 113/tcp: 2189 [15:16] noobez: no need for the caps. Check the mime type on the other files vs the file you clicked on [15:16] even when I nmap localhost -p 113, it says open [15:16] brz: It might be your router blocking it somehow. [15:17] jrib: what is the mime type? [15:17] is there a push email software for ubuntu? [15:17] brz: Very often, incoming ports must be manually forwarded to your computer. [15:17] abhifx: Push email? [15:17] strange, because it was working before I upgraded to 9.04 the other night :P [15:17] brz: try telnet localhost 113 , you should get something out of there [15:17] noobez: right click on the file, properties. It will be somewhere in there. If you can't find it, tell me [15:17] the port must be forwarded, it was working previously :D [15:17] brz: Hmm, good point. [15:17] jrib: sorry for the caps but it was the 3rd time that i had to write the same thing i thought the caps might help u reading it now [15:17] brz: telnet localhost 113 [15:17] tar -vxf alsa-driver-1.0.20.tar.gz (this is the command I was told to use to open alsa-driver-1.0.20.tar.bz2) what am I missing.. it says no such file or directory....??? [15:18] brz: Then enter this line: 123,456 [15:18] Trying 127.0.0.1... [15:18] Connected to localhost. [15:18] Escape character is '^]'. [15:18] fatismul: hello? [15:18] oops, sorry for the spam paste, crazy irssi ;o [15:18] brz: After you enter 123,456 (any number, comma, any number) and press Enter, oidentd should give an error message. [15:18] simplexio, i want ot change my partition which is at /usr.... i drop at der 30gb... so i want it at my /home......? [15:18] Error no user [15:18] jrib: is this "AVI video (video/x-msvideo)" what ur talking about? if its this i checked other .avi files in other folders and it wont open em with vlc, but with totem, cant i just unistall totem? [15:19] connection closed by foreign host [15:19] heatmzzr, the options used to decompress a tar.bz2 file is xfvj? "-" usually means extract to console (useful for piping to another program) [15:19] brz: so its working [15:19] brz: Well, it seems to be working :| [15:19] noobez: yes, is the mime type the same for the file you clicked on and the other files? [15:19] heatmzzr: your probably not in the right directory. if you right click the file do you see Extract Here [15:19] good day everyone is there someone that knows why, after loading ubuntu and it is trying to load the GUI (on first boot, either live cd or during install) i get a gray-ish screen with a white rectangle in the lopleft of the screen, and a *very* sluggish mouse, as if the HDD is using POI mode or something [15:20] I'm still getting the tilde ~ on IRC when I connect [15:20] and the *** No Ident response [15:20] which slows down the initial connect :p not a HUGE problem, but highly annoying! [15:20] brz: Do you connect to any IRC server over IPv6? [15:20] ipv6/v4 [15:20] jrib: i dunno if ur kidding me for fun or if ur trying to make me lose time or i dunno, im sorry man, i no ur here to help as a volonteer but i told u already 4 times that the files have THE SAME EXTENSION = the same 3 letters after the dot = the same mime type [15:20] what ever I feel like at the time :D [15:20] brz: log to some other machine and try telnet there if identd answers [15:21] it was working with both v4/v6 previously. [15:21] i discovered that joy2key is in the repos, but i get the following error... "Error opening /dev/js0! Are you sure you have joystick support in your kernel?" I have a gamepad that at least one other app can see, is there someway to make my gamepad show up in the expected place? [15:21] Hmmm. [15:21] Nemoniko: ok; your card is being identified and even is configured already. [15:21] brz: netstat -ltn | grep :113 [15:21] !gamepad [15:21] Sorry, I don't know anything about gamepad [15:21] noobez: file extensions are not the same as mime types. Anyway, I have better stuff to do. Good luck with your issue. [15:21] brz: See if it's listening on both tcp and tcp6. [15:21] !joystick [15:21] Sorry, I don't know anything about joystick [15:21] tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:113 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN [15:21] simplexio, pls if u know then solve my problem?????????? [15:21] brz: That one is IPv4 only. [15:22] hrmm [15:22] jrib: jerk [15:22] are there any tech experts here? i need help with something and google is failing me...... [15:22] I need to add :: ? [15:22] !ask | Lylith [15:22] Lylith: 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. :-) [15:22] What is the equivalent to Phonon in GTK? [15:22] grawity : yes [15:22] ._.;; [15:22] noobez, mind running yuor problem past me? [15:22] rmrfslash: gstreamer [15:22] you can pipe stuff through people.. that's awesome. [15:22] noobez, i'm curious [15:23] innomen: most of his problems had little to do with his computer, i think. === seife is now known as se1fe [15:23] Lylith: One of #ubuntu rules. We hate asking what is that "something" you need help with. [15:23] ._.;;;; sorry [15:23] sipior, eh, still curious, thanks though :) [15:23] grawity: any idea on how to make it listen on v6? [15:23] What media players use gstreamer? VLC? [15:23] Lylith, yes, there are tech experts here. [15:23] innomen: i think he's logged off. [15:23] oh [15:23] grawity: despite the fact it was working previously on v6 without any other editing :P? [15:23] well, its sorta complicated actually.. im not really sure how to ask.. [15:23] rmrfslash: no; totem Rb banshee.. [15:23] Happy? [15:23] sipior, h'duh [15:23] lol [15:24] I know Amarok uses Phonon which has no support right now for them to make a equalizer :P [15:24] rmrfslash: vlc uses its own framwork as does xine [15:24] I see. [15:24] would it be ok if i explained the situation, then tried to ask? [15:24] Wait... I thought Amarok uses Phonon? They told me there's no equalizer cuz there's no support in Phonon yet/ [15:24] brz: I'm not sure oidentd _can_ listen on v6... (Anyway, things like that happen often on the intercybernetspacetubes. "Heisenbugs" are the worst type) [15:24] Lylith: Yes, but please try to keep it on one line so that it is easy to track. [15:24] Lylith, i hate that, when you have a problem that cant be summerized, i have those form time to time [15:25] rmrfslash : banshee uses gstreamer [15:25] But it says in the preferences for Amarok to use Xine [15:25] whats the command to back up all the installed applications? [15:25] clone or something? [15:25] erUSUL: how can configure my card?, can u helpme? [15:25] rmrfslash: yes amarok uses phonon but phonon is a thing layer on top of gstreamer or libxine or directX (in windows) [15:25] Pici, could you convey an understanding of the standard model in 140 characters or less for me so its easy? that would be cool [15:25] I see. [15:25] innomen: Heh [15:25] Nemoniko: as i said is already configured... it has ip and mask and everything needed [15:25] Nemoniko: What type of card, exactly? [15:26] rmrfslash: thin layer* [15:26] So phonon is an abstraction layer [15:26] grawity: must of been a freak act of nature, because I primarily use v6 and worked b4. Strange, when I upgraded the distro I can't even get standard irssi op scripts to work, and I have to now "run ubuntu in low graphics mode" [15:26] grawity, pet peeve, some things can't be fit into neat little boxes :) [15:26] rmrfslash: yes; and this is getting offtopic... ;P [15:26] right [15:26] thanks though, that makes sense [15:26] rmrfslash: no problem :) [15:27] how can I get g++ 3.4 on ubuntu jaunty? I already have gcc 3.4, gcc 4.3 and g++ 4.3 (they are in the repositories). [15:27] plz how to get rid of scrollkeeper-up ? [15:28] brz: well check your ipv6/4 status, [15:28] ealkmaar, well. you could for starters check if your harddrive is stuck in PIO mode. "cat /etc/fstab" first to find the device name of your hard drive (probably /dev/sda or /dev/hda) and then "sudo hdparm -i" to see the status on the drive [15:28] well, im on a laptop, it was built for vista and of course had vista installed on it, wich is most of the problem... vista crashed over 60 times within 3 days, and thats just all i cared to count.. well, after that i decided to go back to linux permanently, so now im on ubuntu 9.4 and at first everything worked great, no stalls no slowdowns nothing bad at all, but now the system keeps stalling for a second at a time, but its so frequen [15:28] t that its impossible to ignore.. i think it might be my hdd is damaged, but im not sure how to check and see, or repair it if it is.. any suggestions? i prefer the most simple reply but anything is nice... [15:28] I'm connect to both v6/v4 IRC networks as we speak! === fraterm__ is now known as fraterm_work [15:29] is there a push email software for ubuntu? [15:29] wow kahen iḿ lucky i saw that i think, i can access the command line, and itś doing it in the 32-bit version aswell [15:29] does anyone know what the command is to backup all the installed apps? [15:29] but iḿ pretty sure its not in PIO mode [15:29] Lylith: hardware problem [15:29] Lylith: check if errors show up in system logs, /var/log/messages and /var/log/syslog [15:29] abhifx: What do you mean by push email? [15:29] Lylith: check dmesg [15:29] since it wont get past it [15:29] Lylith, i agree it sounds like hardware, may not be the hdd though, what makes you think it's the hdd? [15:29] I need to make something clear: unetbootin, the tool to make live USB distros, is not used to take _any_ distro image, and make a USB is it? It only takes "live" distros? [15:30] I'm looking for a way to make a ubuntu live distro for USB, for an EEE computer. And i have not really seen any live distros of that [15:30] grawity : thats hard to explain, where i dont have to click send and recive and emails will be automatically retrieve [15:30] wouldnt several crashes per hour damage the hdd?.. what else could it be? the os is a fresh install... [15:30] if Unetbootin takes any image, i could just take the EEEubuntu designed for install, and make a usb of it.. but i guess not [15:31] Lylith: ot memory, but that causes segmentation fault in linux, noy just stalls [15:31] abhifx: Do you use IMAP or POP3 for receiving your mail? [15:31] abhifx: IMAP has a command, called 'IMAP IDLE', that can do something like that. [15:31] grawity : i want to push gmail and yahoo [15:31] Lylith: usually just stalls are caused by hd which for somereason wants to wait before serving data [15:31] abhifx: Does Yahoo! have IMAP? [15:32] abhifx: I know Gmail does, and I've used IDLE with it. [15:32] Hi all, [15:32] abhifx: Also, what email client are you using? [15:32] grawity: I don't think its free service does [15:32] Haiy0 [15:32] Lylith: again check if errors show up in system logs, /var/log/messages and /var/log/syslog... hard disk stalls usually get logged there [15:32] Lylith: its actually easy to test, just run livecd and se if it stall, if not then its not hd [15:32] how do you suspend ubuntu server 9.04 from terminal? [15:32] I am on Hardy Heron and the /etc/capabilities file is missing. Is it expected? [15:32] abhifx: Thunderbird supports IMAP IDLE, I used it with Gmail. [15:32] Greenstuff: pm-suspend [15:32] abhifx: But Evolution doesn't. Yahoo does not have IMAP at all. [15:32] brahmana: I believe so [15:33] grawity : thats gud news for me. is there an add on for yahoo in thunderbird [15:33] lstarnes: Is it because there is another location from the the caps are picked or per-user caps are not supported in Hardy [15:33] ? [15:33] grawity : how do i enable this idle stuff [15:33] Co kurwa? [15:33] !pl [15:33] Na tym kanale używamy tylko języka angielskiego. Mozesz uzyskac pomoc w jezyku polskim na #ubuntu-pl. [15:33] brahmana: I don't know [15:33] abhifx: No, it simply will not work with Yahoo. The nearest you can get is to set up checking every 1 minute. [15:34] abhifx: But for Gmail, simply set up an IMAP account, and IDLE will work automatically. [15:34] well, the reason i say "stall" is because thats the only word i can think of to describe it, its like.. everything freezes for a second then continues, music is the best way to spot it because it sounds like a cd skipping.. even though their all mp3s (all of wich are new, i checked them first, the the whole system freezes too, so its not the mp3s im sure) and good idea... but live cd is sorta slow so i probably wouldnt notice the stal [15:34] ling from it.. [15:34] grawity : thanks man, u r gr8 [15:34] lstarnes: Umh.. So any documentation telling me the reason for the missing file? [15:35] !u | abhifx [15:35] abhifx: U is the 21st letter of the modern latin alphabet. Neither 'U' or 'Ur' are words in the English language. Nor are 'R', 'Y', 'l8', 'Ne1' or 'Bcuz'. Mangled English is hard for non-native English speakers. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/abbreviations/ for more information. [15:35] erUSUL: +1 [15:35] Lylith: did dmesg or logs tell you anything [15:35] lstarnes: Based on which you believe it is expected to be missing. [15:35] havnt checked yet, one sec [15:35] abhifx: Here, http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=77662 is a tutorial if you need. [15:35] dmesg is a terminal command right? [15:35] brahmana: I don't have it either in hardy and I haven't needed to use it, so I don't know anything about why it is missing or even what it is used for [15:35] grawity : hm... gmail was pretty easy to setup in thunderbird, i cant configure yahoo, and how do i set it to check for every few minutes [15:35] lstarnes: Yep. [15:35] Lylith: yes [15:35] simplexio, hello ..... may be you r busy.....? [15:35] Lylith: ya [15:36] Lylith: yes [15:36] k one sec [15:36] abhifx: You must configure Gmail for IMAP. POP3 will not have "push". [15:36] it seems that we have several yes men here [15:36] lstarnes: Ok. [15:36] abhifx: And for Yahoo!, I think you need to pay for that. [15:37] how can i confirm my pc sees a given usb device, in this case a game pad [15:37] grawity : youch! thanks for warning. you really helped me man.

[15:40] that looks like it, now when i do joy2key it says ..."Error opening /dev/js0!" [15:40] Lylith: yep. but probably problem was same in visva, bad wireless card or driver [15:40] err [15:40] (i kept my wireless card disabled in vista because i couldnt connect to anything with it) [15:40] simplexio, that looks like it, now when i do joy2key it says ..."Error opening /dev/js0!" is there some way given the dmesg info to correct this problem?

[15:44] Lylith: for futire reference.. usually dmesg shows all strange and intresting stuff about hw<->kernel communication [15:45] erUSUL, ok thanks. That's what I found too but thought maybe there was something else I could try [15:45] innomen: maybe.. if i recall right you could try to make symlink from /dev/input/event7 to /dev/js0 [15:46] innomen: or tell whatever program you use to use /dev/input/event7 isntead js0 [15:46] mweichert: maybe you can create/modify some udev rules to assing persistent dev nodes to your usb disks. that would be what you want [15:46] how do i got ubuntu back to its original theme? [15:47] erUSUL, yes, I asked about that a while back but I was told that it was likely impossible [15:47] simplexio, jscalibrator finds the gamepad at /dev/input/js0 joy2key is looking in /dev/js0 [15:47] erUSUL, but that would surely make things easier [15:47] simplexio, now out of curiosisty would it let me cut and paste that "folder" ? heheh [15:47] t0s: you mean the theme as in the brown theme?

[16:40] how do i enable it? [16:40] Is there a way to determine the URL of an audio stream played from within flash? [16:41] ryanrhee901: you configure the kernel with the correct option set, and then rebuild it. [16:42] sipior: does that mean i have to re-install the kernel? [16:42] ryanrhee901: yep. ensure that CONFIG_MODULES is set to "y" [16:42] sipior: could you point me to a guide for re-installing the kernel please? =X [16:42] ryanrhee901: well, rebuild and then reinstall, to be clear.

[16:46] ryanrhee901: right, it won't build /lib/modules if there's no module support in the kernel. [16:46] sipior: thru apt-get? would that enable module support for the kernel being installeD? [16:46] yassin_: you might want qt4-designer and kdevelope [16:46] yassin_: kdevelop [16:46] yes [16:46] ryanrhee901: yes, once you rebooted into that kernel. [16:47] ryanrhee901: what module are you trying to install?

[16:47] how to get this thing work [16:47] maco, how i get start to desien via QT4 [16:47] yassin_: well visual basic is a windows thing. for qt youre either going to want PyQt or learn C++ [16:48] ryanrhee901: make sure you choose the correct kernel at boot. note the kernel version that apt-get installs, and select that one. [16:48] yes PYQT [16:48] am trying to install a program and when i type ./configure it says no such file or directory [16:48] mm.. i can't mount a network-shared folder on my ubuntu [16:48] sipior: how can i choose the kernel version at boot? i only have remote SSH access to the physical machine.

[16:48] it says TCP name not found [16:48] maco; i want to learn how develop under this inviroment [16:49] yassin_: you type out your python in a file, save it, and type "python filename" [16:49] yassin_: pretty straightforward [16:49] im using tar -xvf, but the archive contains directories, which i want to extract and create them on the fly, but it only seems to want to extract them when I sudo... [16:49] ryanrhee901: i missed that part. well, it will probably boot to the correct kernel by default, but it would be nice to have someone on the other end to press the right buttons on the off chance it doesn't... [16:49] is there away to extract directories without being sudo? [16:49] yassin_: to figure out what to type, use the google to find api docs [16:49] how do you clear an alias?

[16:50] zealiod: oh then "sudo chown youruser:youruser blah.tar.gz" replacing youruser with..your username [16:50] zealiod: so you own it [16:50] sipior: haha yes, i'm surprised myself..

[16:54] ryanrhee901: in fact, it should have made an entry for that kernel at installation... [16:54] zealiod: so just chown without sudo? [16:55] sipior: yes, i see it. i'll try changing it now..

[16:57] chang: without the < and > ;) [16:57] maco: that makes sense and I have specified a user in the d-i preseed... the thing is... the file is downloaded via wget, so the ownership of the tar.gz is root... I think its getting hung up on the fact that the directories aren't root... surely that shouldnt matter though...

I try to mount it on a newly created folder, and it says already mounted or busy, i try to unmount it and it says not mounted [17:45] pacejr: If I remember correctly, the partitioning screen has a checkbox for each partition... "Format partition" or something like that. [17:46] grawity: right, i see that. I have to manually select the filesystem type even if I don't click format, which worries me.

[18:00] Yep it is [18:00] is it possible to set up a pxe host-client over a network when host accesses network via wifi and client via ethernet cable into router? [18:00] itunes can be installed using wine [18:00] sudo apt-get install wine [18:00] webfreakz: no i have the grub i want right now its just that when i installed a different partition i chose not to install grub in the summary page. i just want to install grub and add that partition to grub [18:00] gawity: do i type dmesg|tail in terminal [18:00] grawity are you with me? [18:01] <^mNotIntelligent> {[Aaron]}, btw, what exactly is the issue, if you can put couple of lines about that, that would be nice...so that we know if we can fix/get that done or not. [18:01] xover: I was asking for the command you used, not some random babble. Anyway, it happens because sudo does not even know about the "> /sys/blah" part -- it is bash that takes care of it. [18:01] basil: So long as both boxes are getting IP in same segment, no reason why it won't work [18:01] B9: Yes, after plugging in the device.

[18:01] Have tried it and that does not seem to work, Itune does not seem to install on Wine!!! [18:01] anyone have an idea [18:01] webfreakz: I did a md5sum that worked.. the checksum matches.. so what is wrong with this file?

[18:02] MichaelKohler: what does `file ` give you? [18:02] <|lilo|> i can not to install aby theme [18:02] what does bash have to do with whether i use sudo or su -c [18:02] webfreakz: Zip archive data, at least v2.0 to extract [18:02] B9: If you reply to someone, you should put the user's nick before your message. [18:03] webfreakz: no cuz i chose not to install it t the end of the manual installation process. all i want is to install it to that partition and add it to grub [18:03] grawity: your making about as much sense as a japanese VCR instruction manual. [18:03] MichaelKohler: and `unzip ` doesn't work?? [18:03] koketso: For application support under wine #winehq is the best place to ask. [18:03] Ta!! Will does. [18:03] xover: lol [18:03] xover: When you use su -c "echo foo > /sys/blah", you put the entire command in quotes, and bash passes it to su as it is. su sees "-c" and "echo foo > /sys/blah". [18:03] sipo: there are guides out there on how to fix your GRUB. try googling for a second for it [18:04] xover: When you use sudo echo foo > /sys/blah, you probably don't use quotes - so bash itself cuts off the > /sys/blah part. [18:04] grawity; I got 9 usb lines and 1 hub line [18:05] webfreakz:i did but couldnt find out how to install grub on that partition so i can add it. it did say to "grub-install" but its not installin [18:05] xover: And the sudo command only gets the "echo" part and runs only that part as root. [18:05] webfreakz: no, it still says "error: invalid compressed data to inflate" [18:05] grawity: That command you gave would fail because the section following > is in an area which needs admin to write. sudo echo whatever | tee -a /sys/wherever/filename [18:05] genii: Explain it to xover, not to me. [18:06] grawity: good expla bro [18:06] sipo: you already have grub installed at it works, right? so you only need to add another installation? [18:06] xover: echo whatever | sudo tee -a /sys/wherever/filename [18:06] webfreakz: and it's just the iso of the zipfile. the other file is extracted I see now [18:06] when your screen has froze but your mouse still responds (and some HDD activity) what has crashed?

You can use `blkid /dev/sda1` to get the UUID which you will need for GRUB [18:09] B9: Can you pastebin those lines to http://dpaste.com/ for example?

(Huawei) iwlist is good fo wireless connections, but..... [18:10] genii: i still dont get why when i used sudo it gives me permission denied to that file [18:11] genii: I thought the point was that sudo was assuming root rights? [18:11] webfreakz: so dont need to install grub into that specific partition? [18:11] when your screen has froze but your mouse still responds (and some HDD activity) what has crashed? [18:11] webfreakz: that's strange isn't it?

[18:25] Coilette: thats Jaunty, [18:25] <_Trinity_> Has anyone gotten a no screens found message when trying t run xorg? [18:25] fccf yeah i like this cuz my wireless card works!! [18:25] there should be some kind of html page where you can but your problem / question and you see how many people is solving that problem here :) [18:26] _Trinity_, that's a very broad error message - not much help really... [18:26] you guys should really implement a take a number system or something. This is the third time ive been here and just flat out ignored on a bug that pretty much just cripples mine and MANY peoples wireless networking. The bug forum has not even made it critical after 6 months since this was reported and MANY people have this problem. No one like being flat out ognored and granted its prolly not even a ubuntu bug, most likely intel but not all [18:26] of us are linux experts and being ignored in here is just rude too [18:26] Later Guys [18:26] Guys, can i ask you for help? [18:26] Coilette: I am using 8.04 Hardy Long Term Support, mainly because it is a lot more stable, depending on your wl card you can get it working in Hardy [18:26] nel: Have you tried the mailing lists? There might not be anyone here that knows how to fix your problem.

[18:27] fccf, LTS isnt necessarily more stable, just supported longer [18:27] fccf anyways.. how do i find whats killing my computer, and remove it [18:28] MK13: Tell that to my server [18:28] Normally my external HD monts automatically at boot, now it doesnt. I can't find it in lcpci or lsusb either ... anywhere else I should look to see wether or not it's detected? Or other trouble shooting tips? [18:28] hallo [18:28] Note, that in Ubuntu-904, upon hibernation/restart, all VTs are gone (CTRL-ALT-Fx). Is there a fix? [18:28] Aijse, plug it in / turn it on - then type dmesg and check the end - should be what the kernel sees of the drimve [18:28] jonj: I have, and there is an ongoing thread on this bug going since march... its 9.04 specific and with the bug posted in March you can understand people getting frustrated come sept... [18:29] fccf, 8.04 may be supported for longer, but Jaunty is supported right now, along w/ Intrepid [18:29] Does Jaunty have a problem playing dvd's? [18:29] ihatejonnytoo, i don't have any problems on the 64 bit version [18:29] szia [18:30] ihatejonnytoo, nope but the method to install dvd support has changed [18:30] really now.

I'm just saying that maybe none of us knows how to fix, so complaining that everyone in this channel doesn't answer you with "I don't know" might not help your case here :) [18:30] do you recommend I reinstall? [18:30] MK13: The fact that they are supported longer means that they have been tested longer and by that fact more of the problems have been worked out, yeah I may not have all the latest features, but I take functionality/reliability over features anyday [18:31] jonj true that but a take a number system everyone at least gets heard even if its with a i dont know, just a suggestion, might work might not [18:31] I have just install grub2 and when i reboot my monitor will not display the any thing after selecting the kernel verison. Once gnome loads everything is fine. I have tried setting gfxmode to different resolutions bit it do not seem to help. any ideas where i should look?

[18:35] are y sure about the empathy? [18:35] should i have some more libraries installed?

[19:27] guys how do i map a new key to a F1 [19:27] i have a question [19:28] xover: what exactly you want to do [19:28] jennie_alex: just post the question [19:28] !ask | jennie_alex [19:28] jennie_alex: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [19:29] Hi! I am wondering if it is possible to recover the master file table for ext3 after an accidental reform. [19:29] i'm a newbie in linux and i would like to know what is the C compiler for ubuntu [19:29] my F11 and F12 keys are not working, so i need to map F11 to a working key [19:29] jennie_alex: Gnu c [19:29] jennie_alex: gcc [19:30] thanks [19:30] ) wfiuewfew: sure it is but don't know how [19:30] jennie_alex: u mean what is a compiler? [19:30] and what is the path for gnu c and gcc? [19:30] h4f: What do you mean? [19:30] h4f: How do you know it is possible? [19:31] anyone know what the name of the email client is that has a little dog as it's logo? [19:31] /usr/bin/gcc or at least should be [19:31] wfiuewfew: because it is possible to recover nearly everything even after format [19:31] jennie_alex: you don't really need to know that though... ./configure .. make .. make install in the source folder [19:32] ok [19:32] h4f: Sure it is possible to recover data, but is is possible to recover the directory tree? [19:32] thanks a lot it helps [19:32] are there file shredders available for ubuntu? [19:32] wfiuewfew: [19:33] <{[Aaron]}> Ben64, thanks very much for your support but I have to go due to a situation IRL, I'll be back later and hopefully be able to get it working :) [19:33] h4f: What?

[19:37] genii: and that will solve the moblin-menus error? [19:37] nicklas_: screaming PPA's ... I can't fix what you have screwed with [19:37] cyber_666_uk, yes [19:37] cyber_666_uk: there are some games I guess [19:38] well games yeah [19:38] cyber_666_uk: mathematica; matlab; maya come to mind... [19:38] cyber_666_uk, nerolinux is a notable one [19:38] i mean utilities, sofwtare [19:38] Parallels also has a version for Linux [19:38] nero as in dvd burning? [19:38] yepo [19:38] nerolinux is only £12 [19:38] hi everyone just testing empathy [19:38] but k3b owns the crap out of nero [19:38] cyber_666_uk, there are many linux softwares that are not free software ( free as in freedom)...... for example matlab linux version, tally linux version etc [19:38] fccf: so this is unfixable? [19:38] cyber_666_uk: yep. canonical has a store with a few apps [19:39] Ben64, except for 1) not being GTK, 2) not having compatibility for Blu-Ray [19:39] nicklas_: you are using totally unsupported software ... this is #ubuntu support ... not everything else [19:39] thiebaude, dont go for empathy..... use the new pidgin 2.6.1 which has both voice and video chat [19:39] fccf: sorry [19:39] but i guess there is always a free equivlant (and generay linux users arent gonna shell out for sofwtare unless its specialist right? [19:39] iaian: why would it have to be gtk? [19:39] nicklas_: I didn't say it is unfixable... just not here [19:40] when will the pidgin 2.6.1 goes in the ubuntu repos ? [19:40] strange_in I thought pidgin was going away though for empathy [19:40] Ben64, but then again, 1) is a personal preference, and 2) no open source apps support Blu-Ray =) [19:40] !info pidgin >fccf [19:40] cyber_666_uk, u have to mention to whome u are replyying [19:40] iaian: thats not correct [19:40] nicklas_: You have so many repositories which are not official *buntu and some mixed dist repos, etc etc so it gets convoluted as to what to do to fix [19:40] strange_in yea i usally use pidgin or xchat, but empathy is harder to set up [19:40] yeah sorry anyone - its off topic anyway (how dare i...) [19:40] http://fy.chalmers.se/~appro/linux/DVD+RW/ [19:40] ok i just got my laptop the way i want it to be; is there some way to save my current setup as some sort of install file so that way if my hard drive was to crash or some thing and i had to reinstall on a diffrent computer I could recover i could just reinstall from a live cd of my current setup? [19:40] maybe it wasnt so smart to activate all repos with ubuntu tweak [19:40] works fine with blu-ray [19:41] icarus - ghost the HDD [19:41] sirhalos, it is just released...... video works wonderfully fine, but voice have to be improved [19:41] anyone know what the name of the email client is that has a little dog as it's logo? [19:41] icarus: mostly all settings saved in /etc so what you need is to backup that directory [19:41] cyber_666_uk, what now?

[19:42] oh - il shut up then.. sorry [19:42] hello [19:42] noobez: uh, if you update your system transmission will update, but only the latest for the distro, there may be a newer version in PPA [19:42] il y a un francais ici ?

[19:44] can someone please help, Ive just nstalled ubuntu, configured the lan correctly and yet its still not working; subnet, netmask, ip, gateway are all fine, ive even specified dns but still no go... I've never had an issue with ubunut previously wrt to ethernet networking [19:45] icarus, I personally use clonezilla, its sweet [19:45] dab_: usually the procedure is ./configure; make ; make install; [19:45] noobez: go here https://launchpad.net/%7Etransmissionbt/+archive/ppa/+sourcepub/714407/+listing-archive-extra [19:45] dab_: on which step is it failing ?

[19:46] fccf: thanks, what is it? [19:46] icarus, nope. [19:46] How do I run a application with ./ when I am not standing in the same directory? "./file_to_run -paramter value" works but not "~/some/directory/./file_to_run -paramter value" [19:47] noobez: that is the ubuntu ppa ... often newer versions get developed and distributed there [19:47] hey guys, im looking for an NFO generator, but i can only find ones for windows and id rather not WINE things if i dont have to. Does anyone use one, or know of one? [19:47] dragonlord: how about just changing your directory to its location [19:47] Ben64: h4f: so how can i use an existing iso file (rather than download an img file and use usb-imagewriter) to make a bootable usb? [19:47] ok i will try strangers idea [19:47] DragonLord: don't do . in the middle [19:47] hi 4 some reason i cant listen to radio on line? [19:47] anyone: can anyone submit sofwtare to the repositories? [19:47] icarus, save to any format.. I personally boot it from usb, and save my windows (2x ntfs) and ubuntu (2x ext4) to external drive (ext4) [19:48] cyber_666_uk: yes [19:48] userone: i haven't had to make a bootable ubuntu usb, you'd have to talk to someone else [19:48] test [19:48] Ben64: okey, thanks [19:48] cyber_666_uk: #ubuntu-dev for more info [19:48] thx [19:48] userone: i have, use a program called unetbootin, very easy to use in order to make a bootable ubuntu usb [19:48] icarus, g4l is kind of old. I`d go for clonezilla. the experimental (ubuntu based) one [19:49] hello there -- any one willing to help me with remote desktop connection to SBS 2003 over a VPN? [19:49] userone: download the .img file and use imagewriter ... that was made for the netbook [19:49] basil: can i install that using synaptic? i guess usb-imagewriter is just for img files? [19:49] Does Ubuntu support 4gb of ram?

[19:54] m0r0n: download it .. it has amd64 in the file name instead of i386 [19:54] m0r0n: you can download it fromthe ubuntu home page. 64-bit ubuntu 9.04 works like a dream! :-) [19:55] I need for a canon pixma ip6600d, the recommended drivers fail to print anything properly other then the ubuntu test page [19:55] basil: ok, thanks for your help. i will try it. [19:56] ubtu-user444: lookie here http://keyserver.ubuntu.com:11371/ [19:56] I've got this interesting little issue going on, Ubuntu 9.04, it's a sound related issue.

Now I can connect!! === matthew is now known as dennisnuel [19:58] etale: update-manager --dist-upgrade [19:58] I'm trying to uninstall opera completely. I ran apt-get update and apt-get remove opera. Now ubuntu thinks opera is gone (in synaptic and apt-get) but when I run "opera" from a terminal window it still launches [19:58] m0r0n: PAE is a hardware thing.. do cat /proc/cpuinfo to see if you have it, otherwise you'll have to start over... also you need a processor capable of 64 bit [19:58] I need for a canon pixma ip6600d, the recommended drivers fail to print anything properly other then the ubuntu test page [19:58] m0r0n: if you stay in 32-bit, it wont properly address the 4gb. only upgrade to 64-bit if you really need to use the full ram (and dual processors I assume?) of your computer [19:59] snowveil: apt-get remove --purge opera [19:59] Intok, do you have the latest version of cups? [19:59] snowveil I'm running fro mthe live cd right now [19:59] userone: quad, but is there anyway to upgrade without losing everything? [19:59] fccf: Package opera is not installed, so not removed [19:59] how can I omit certain updates [19:59] Hey guys, I have an NTFS partition with a bunch of files that I don't want to loose at the start of a 1.5tb drive. How risky would it be to move this partition to the end of the drive? [20:00] intok, open "127.0.0.1:631" in firefox [20:00] snowveil: how was it that you installed opera? [20:00] then add the printer that way...it should have drivers for the ip6600 [20:00] redkid: why move it to the end? [20:00] ubtu-user444, are u under any proxy network.... I think u can t instatll the apt-key under proxy servers....... [20:00] iirc, I downloaded the .deb file from opera's website [20:00] this was a while ago [20:00] and installed it with the package manager [20:00] basil: I have an old motherboard, which requires the boot loader to be at the start o the drive [20:00] m0r0n: fccf: fccf makes a good point...you need a 64-bit capable processor in the first place! [20:01] snowveil 9.04 64 bit, when I print anytihng it assumes there is no grey, black or blue, so nothing prints out properly, and it just spist the paper out in greyscale [20:01] Redkid: backup the data ... they're files right ... not a windows os ... just back them up [20:01] userone: Mine is [20:01] fccf: Too much data [20:01] I [20:01] snowveil Common UNIX Printing System 1.3.9 [20:01] We're talking around 300gb [20:01] stranger_in: no, I am directly connected to the internet. Thanks to fccf I can access keys via http://keyserver.ubuntu.com:11371/ [20:02] snowveil: do you still have the .deb lying around? [20:02] m0r0n: as good practice you should have a backup of all your data anyway. just reinstall. its quicker and easier and makes sure you can get everything right first time. for me 64-bit ubuntu worked PERFECTLY out of the box, on EVERYTHING!! :-) [20:02] sporkbomb, not the original .deb...I've got one for version 10.0 but I'm trying to remove 9.5 [20:02] RedKid: if it is that important ... $100 for another drive is no big deal [20:02] fccf: So the risk of me loosing it is not *that* great? [20:03] if i want to use the themes from the metacity-themes package do i really need to tarball them myself before the theme manager can understand that they exist ? [20:03] ubtu-user444, k......... i once had such a problem under proxy...... that y i asked....... [20:03] intok, yes, now select "printers" on the right [20:03] I'm trying to get 9.04 with the faster intel graphics drivers''' I just put the ppa in my sources, however the instructions that I found are ambiguous, Do I need to enable UXA by typing in enable EXA into my xorg??? that seems dumb... or does just adding the ppa for the new xdrivers take care of it all. Or does anybody know of a good instruction site, because I only got crud on google [20:03] find your printer in the list, then "modify printer" [20:04] then follow the instructions and see if that fixes anything [20:04] snowveil: what happens when you type dpkg -S opera? [20:04] Hello [20:05] sporkbomb, it outputted a bunch of stuff but still did not remove the program [20:05] I've a problem with the website... When I type my login et my password, the website said "Thank you etc" and after I'm redirecting on the logue page's. [20:05] right [20:06] and, not "et" -_- [20:06] hello i install ubuntu 9.04 and finish it ask to take out the cd from the tray after restart when it boot give me this error : http://pastebin.com/m35b6351e => how i can fix this? can't boot always same error thx [20:06] snowveil: it wasn't supposed to remove it [20:06] snowveil: man dpkg [20:06] I don't quite understand what to do in installing adobe flash [20:07] Is moving an NTFS partition any real risk to the data on it? [20:07] I've used dpkg, but what's the S trigger for? [20:07] I cannot connect myself :/ [20:07] Any administrator here ? [20:07] snowveil: run the following in a terminal: man dpkg [20:08] I've got the man page up [20:08] need_help: not sure but do you have one of those built in card readers .. looks like it might not be seeing that correctly [20:08] koshie: details please .. we all administer systems here [20:08] snowveil: not to sound like a jerk, but it tells you what -S does [20:08] fccf no don't have card reader, i got 2 cdrom, usb and 1 network card [20:08] fccf: of the website. [20:08] fccf only sound card is build in [20:08] I'm reading through it now sporkbomb and can't find it [20:09] fccf: I cannot connect myself on the website [20:09] hey guys, can i switch from Netbook Remix to Desktop without reformatting/reinstalling? [20:09] basil: yes [20:09] koshie: how [20:09] It's write on the netbook remix wiki [20:09] koshie: uh, why .. you are talking www.ubuntu.com or another? it is working here [20:09] fccf: I don't know why ! [20:09] snowveil: it is in there under dpkg-query actions ... it basically does a search for file name or installed package [20:09] fccf also i disable the acpi and nolacpi from LIVE CD [20:09] search? [20:09] It say my pass and my log are good. [20:09] ok [20:10] just found it using grep [20:10] snowveil: what I was trying to get at is, if it returned something, perhaps you can remove opera with dpkg [20:10] snowveil: ya dig? [20:10] didn't know you could use dpkg-query under just the dpkg command [20:10] basil: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop ... then at login screen go-to options and select session and gnome [20:10] snowveil: i.e. w/ the -r flag [20:11] need_help: press F6 after language selection and after quiet put noacpi [20:11] fccf: koshie: my one problem with netbook remix really is the shortcut-grid layout instead of the traditional gnome desktop, can i fix that even easier? [20:11] basil, there is a switch tool in netbook remix. [20:11] fccf: I've find a solution ! [20:11] basil: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [20:11] fccf i try this [20:11] deany: where [20:11] snowveil: personally, I like to purge what I want to remove [20:12] basil, well there is on my mothers.

I have a laptop that is capable of running 64 bit but I have opted to run 32 anyways because I'm also trying to learn about the stack. Now I want to triple boot: windows, ubuntu 32 bit, and ubuntu 64 bit, however when I tried to simply cut my current ubuntu partition up from the install menu I got an error. Is there something spec [20:15] ial about triple booting?

[20:16] snowveil: did you install some static package? [20:16] locate opera?

[20:18] where can i go/ [20:18] rai: most people start with windows, and add ubuntu [20:18] snowveil http://pastebin.com/m2f2c9caa but the printer isn't a ip6000 its a pixma ip6600d, built in card reader and screen and what have you [20:18] rai: most likely you'd have to pirate it... and i cannot tell you where to go for that. [20:18] Anyone know if there's an utility to format a filesystem as YAFFS2 (which seems to be a good type for sdcard)? I can't find any mkfs.yaffs2 or anything in apt-get.

[20:29] Ein2015, no I haven't [20:29] ein2015: ive looked at those and interestingly ones with ubuntu arent a cent cheaper than those with windows [20:29] I keep trying firefox off and on but there are a few features in opera that I've gotten so used to that are available, but buggy, in firefox [20:29] Ralph1, go to their website and click on the laptops... then click on the furthest left image. [20:29] fraterm__: is it better than the ASUS Eee PC 1005HA-VU1X-BK? [20:29] can I configure apt-get such that it will not take the value of http_proxy environment variable [20:30] Ralph1, I have no idea, check the specs. [20:30] snowveil: i'm using it now... i enjoy it. but i do like firefox, so my view is different. opera is nice though... i also have it installed. [20:30] I have bought two desktops from them and trust that they will have the OS installed properly. [20:30] basil: yeah, annoying isnt it? [20:30] and that everything in it works. [20:30] :) [20:30] they also have a forum. [20:30] I'm really fond of lynx once in a while, but sometimes it just isn't practical [20:30] and work with ubuntu forums and ubuntu well. [20:30] I just used "update-alternatives --config x-terminal-emulator" to set my default term to urxvt. However, running x-terminal-emulator gives me an urxvt with what seems to be default configs. If I run "urxvt" by hand from another terminal, my settings from .Xdefaults are properly applied. Why? [20:31] fraterm__: well it's a bit more expensive, but it comes with an extra gig of RAM [20:31] Ein2015, what's the benefit of swiftfox over firefox? [20:31] it looks pretty solid actually [20:32] snowveil, it's supposedly faster, but you probably won't really notice since firefox is inherently slow anyway [20:32] snowveil: it is supposedly cpu-optimized [20:32] snowveil: specifically compiled for linux... i've found it runs slightly better than firefox. [20:33] haha p-f [20:33] from what I know, the maintainers use the -03 opt to compile firefox [20:33] I'll give it a shot [20:33] I'm still running an athlon 64 2800+ system [20:33] I always thought -O3 was overrated [20:33] it's starting to show age [20:33] snowveil, I wish I was making a joke - firefox just completely cripples my system when I have over 20 tabs [20:33] snowveil: I'll never get rid of my Pentium 2 running FreeBSD, so don't feel bad :-) [20:34] p-f, my system gets buggy with firefox with simple plugins [20:34] can someone give me a step-by-step of how to open and install a .tar program im trying to install thunderbird since evolution is on the fritz but have now clue what im doing p [20:34] ~20% cpu all the time doesn't really play well with my laptop [20:34] My browser limits the width of webpages. How do I fix it so that it takes up the whole browser window? [20:34] sporkbomb, but that BSD system isn't your main rig :) [20:34] snowveil: very good point [20:34] If it were, I would admit I would probably go insane [20:35] Good evening everybody! I've got a problem with my CD/DVD-Drive. It just does not work and Ubuntu does not find it. If I put a CD or DVD in it is not recognized. [20:36] felix: if you're sure the CD does not have any errors on it, you can install ubuntu via usb flash drive or netowkr [20:36] network* [20:36] Im having frequent X crashes.. Anybody have any ideas (drastic potential install breaking ideas okay) before i just reinstall? [20:36] basil, I'm pretty sure he was talking about post-installation [20:36] basil: It's no problem installing Ubuntu. I am already using it - installed from CD! But Ubuntu itself does not recognize the drive! [20:36] i crash every oh.. 10 minutes, if i'm not carefull [20:37] felix_, can you mount the CD manually with mount? [20:37] in case anyone is interested, a bootable usb can be created from an iso image using the USB Startup Disk Creator under system administration. how easy is that! [20:37] Ein2015, is swiftfox not open-source? [20:37] thats pretty cool userone [20:38] How do I upgrade to firefox 3.5 in Jaunty? [20:38] they want you to add it to the repository as non-free [20:38] felix_: just out of curiosity, do you get anything outputted with the following command: dmesg | grep CD-ROM [20:38] userone, as well as with this -> for various distros :D http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ [20:38] sounds like a categorization error, snowveil... it's just firefox compiled with specific cflags [20:39] sporkbomb: No. [20:39] kahen: I don't really have deeper knowledge of Linux. So I have to try it. How does it work? mount /dev/cdrom ? [20:39] felix_, well. if you get nothing from dmesg that probably won't work either [20:40] kahen: Okay. So Ubuntu has not found it hardwere-wise? [20:40] im getting './install.sfx.4036: not found' when trying to install jdk 6u16 on jaunty, anyone know why? [20:40] snowveil: not sure [20:40] evening all [20:40] hi all [20:40] felix_, if dmesg doesn't show it and it's not in /etc/fstab, then i'd say no - it didn't find it [20:41] kahen: Is that fixable? [20:41] I'm wondering, because I installed Ubuntu itself from CD. [20:42] How do I upgrade to firefox 3.5 from 3.01 in Jaunty? [20:42] upgrading 8.10 to 9.04 [20:42] if it breaks im killing you guys [20:42] haha [20:42] any idea why i see ufw block in log for a port i have open? and the app using that port seems to work fine. [20:42] Dethroned, install firefox-3.5 -- it will be available as "Shiretoko" in the menu [20:42] sporkbomb: Does the command change, if it is a CD/DVD drive? [20:43] kahen, will that upgrade it or download a new browser? [20:43] Dethroned, it will not use firefox-3.5 as your default browser [20:43] Dethroned: It will download a new browser. [20:43] is it possible to just upgrade it? [20:44] Dethroned, i tried that actually. uninstalling 3.0 and then installing 3.5 just pulls in 3.0 as well (iirc) [20:44] Dethroned, so... no [20:44] kahen, oh, I thought I was going insane [20:44] Dethroned, karmic will have 3.5 as default i think [20:44] how does ubuntu handle 3g networks? would 3g capability be more worth whiel than an extra gig of RAM? (since my school doesn't have the best wireless ( but i'd assume the interference would be just as bad for cellphone signals no?) [20:44] so it does happen to other people [20:44] Dethroned: I did not find a way. I installed it, it took over the settings from the old one and afterwards I deleted the old one. [20:44] that's completely silly [20:45] felix: where is the old one stored? [20:45] Dethroned: I removed it via apt-get. [20:45] whats the command to reconfigure X server? [20:45] Dethroned: And deleted its settings in /home [20:45] Dethroned: you can set it to use firefox-3.5 as the default browser in Preferences/Preferred Applications [20:45] anyone can help me with netcap? [20:46] Any idea how I block apt-get from replacing a locally modified package? [20:46] Dethroned: just use custom and set the command to firefox-3.5 %s [20:46] mmonlsd: it says on the link 'try the windows version, it usually works better'...that can't be agood thing!!? ;-) [20:46] Dethroned: works fine for me [20:46] so i downloaded thunderbird via synaptic but cant seem to find it now whered it fo [20:46] kahen: Do you have any idea how to get my CD/DVD drive running? [20:46] !ubottu | darlek [20:46] I'm trying to download a file secured with a HTTPS password (a regular GUI browser would pop up a username and password dialog) [20:46] but how can I do it with lynx or links? [20:46] !ubottu > darlek [20:46] felix_, not really, no. troubleshooting problems with hardware not getting detected can be tricky enough on a system you're sitting in front of [20:46] it ain't working. it takes me straight to the 401 no auth page [20:47] doesn't even prompt for user & pass [20:47] eudox just add user:pass in front of the adress i think [20:47] why does this command does not go back to the bash prompt? echo "hello" | nc localhost 9988 [20:48] can any one help??

I can only hear anything when I have the volume at around 80% [20:51] if you read up i had posted the question [20:51] je tu někdo [20:51] no one had answered [20:51] kahen: Actually I installed it a very long time ago and took on the problem back then. I did not solve it though. But I think I deleted the CD/DVD line from the /etc/fstab back then. === fred_ is now known as Guest31707 [20:53] kahen: So there was something in it concerning the drive - but it made no difference with or without the line in the fstab.

[20:55] i'm running a system without X but have noticed a few packages (15) appear under the x11 section in aptitude. when i mark them for removal aptitude complains and say i should keep 12 of them. is this anything to worry about? are they still safe to remove? ubuntu-desktop isn't installed and i only use the command line.

[21:30] how do I make it so ubuntu does NOT start every window, such as terminal or firefox, maximized? === something is now known as something11 [21:30] sporkbomb: Yes. Like I said. I'm using Ubuntu for about 6 months now. I encountered the problem back then already! But I did not need the drive until now. I want to burn some CDs.

[21:31] im working on a newly installed machine [21:31] basically the audio device isnt located or installed... can someone help me or at least figure out the audio device [21:31] eaxexee: hm :( [21:31] sporkbomb: And I vaguely remember deleting the line concerning the drive from the /etc/fstab [21:31] vovk, it asks me to select a driver [21:31] eaxexee: dont have phpmyadmin on ubuntu here to test it, sorry :( [21:31] who is ever having flash issues [21:31] iceroot: Fair, thanks for the help though :) Trying manual install now :) [21:31] meee [21:31] :( [21:31] SirMontu, hmm... thats odd [21:31] Hi, Ive got dhcp running fine on my server, and now I need to forward the dns somehow, so my clients can browse the internet [21:32] !patience | something11 [21:32] does anyone have an idea how? [21:32] something11, what version of firefox are you using? [21:32] i cant get flash to work it crashes on firefox and opera [21:32] do a sudo apt-get purge flash10 and then do a sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [21:32] I've added my isp dns server in the dhcp config file, without result [21:32] 3.0 and 3.5 both i tried [21:32] but both crashe [21:32] SirMontu: I have a bad sata hard drive here that the bios recognizes but no OS will. You may want to seek out a tool called SpinRite and see if it can help you fix the drive. If you don't think the drive is bad, try a different mobo to rule out the SATA controller [21:32] SirMontu, what step in the installation is this?? [21:32] !ping [21:32] SirMontu: Or try a different drive on the mobo [21:32] guntbert: its dead :( [21:32] vovk, partioning [21:33] anyone?

[21:33] !info [21:33] Jeruvy: thats what I was testing [21:33] SirMontu, Vovk: It's normal for it to ask you for a driver if it doesn't recognize a disk. I think the drive is probably bad. [21:34] SirMontu, hmm... Sata controller might be bad [21:34] vovk, im gonna try another drive real fast, brb [21:34] something11, did you see what gateway recommended? [21:34] guntbert: cool. Thanks. [21:34] qwyeth, thx for the input [21:34] SirMontu: Don't forget to rule out a bad cable as well. [21:34] SirMontu, yeah, try a different drive, then maybe update bios... i dunno :( [21:34] something11: no help from me there - sorry, but please be patient - repeat you question at most every 10 minutes or so [21:34] Hi I also need help installing my Canon MP640, the drivers are not included on the list but I have the CD with the drivers for windows [21:34] Hi [21:35] seidos, guntbert well is flashplugin non-free really working... i mean can it play youtube etcC??

[21:35] felix_: just so we can rule it out, are you able to boot from your cdrom? [21:35] AgentBlair, what kind of device is that? [21:35] seidos ok i will try :) [21:35] linxisp: swat [21:35] it is a network printer [21:35] something11, flashpluginnon-free used to work for me [21:35] felix_: a windows install disk or ubuntu install disk for example [21:35] AgentBlair, CUPS should let you use it [21:35] something11, nothing to lose :) [21:35] anyone know why my .bashrc isn't being called? [21:35] guntbert, sorry ive been breaking my head for last 4 hours [21:35] Retrieve information on a package: !info [21:35] Jeruvy that is using a browser right ? [21:35] !cups [21:36] seidos, ok thanks :) i brb... [21:36] DefineByte: wrong permissions? [21:36] DefineByte: after you edit it you have to source it or start another terminal session [21:36] sporkbomb: I did not try that. I just figured from the one time I installed it, that it should work. I have no CD in proximity. [21:36] bah, hold on [21:36] Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows [21:36] its a web administration for samba..i meant [21:36] woot! :D [21:36] linxisp: not certain, don't use it myself. [21:36] thanks [21:36] something11: I cannot help with flash issues - sorry [21:36] something11, what's your issue?? [21:37] it certainly works with a '. .bashrc' but on the next boot it fails to run. [21:37] sporkbomb: And I obviously can't burn one to try :-( [21:37] Gah, my Davolink DV-201AMR router will not let my computers that are connected wireless talk to my wired ones, any workarounds? [21:37] Jeruvy it is :( i want something like system-config-samba but for samba client or any other simple way to access windows shares [21:37] scott_ino2, i have a 64bit ubuntu 9.04... i cant get flash10 to work :( [21:37] felix_: you don't have any install disks of any kind? How did you install Ubuntu? [21:37] i'm running without x if that makes a difference [21:37] scott_ino2, it keeps crashing firefox [21:38] something11, by default it should use the 64bit flash10 alpha/beta whatever they're calling it now [21:38] linxisp: places -> network (aka nautilaus) doesn't cut it? [21:38] sporkbomb: I installed it 6 months ago! But today has to be my lucky day! I found one! :-D [21:38] something11, instead of using 32 bit and a wrapper [21:38] scott_ino2, it works... but keeps crashing firefox [21:38] felix_: are you on your Ubuntu box now? Try booting that disk! [21:38] vovk, i reconnected the old HD to do a new installation on it and it doesnt recognize that HD either [21:38] something11, which specific build version are you using [21:38] felix_: just so we can rule it out [21:39] something11, is it whatever is from the repos or did you try installing something yourself [21:39] sporkbomb: Jep, I am at my one and only PC. The Ubuntu one! :-P [21:39] sporkbomb: I'll try it. BRB [21:39] something11, also, does this happen on a specific site or all flash based sites [21:39] poor kid [21:40] sporkbomb, love the name ;-) [21:40] I bet he is extremely frustrated [21:40] scott_ino2: for some reason, people usually don't get it [21:40] * SirMontu shoots his bosses brother for giving us a shitty server [21:40] scott_ino2, everything besides youtube [21:40] sporkbomb, yeah most wouldn't i don't think [21:40] <{[Aaron]}> Ben64: you still here? [21:40] hmm i installed the flashplugin-nonfree [21:40] it works [21:40] so far no crashes [21:41] is there anyway I can no need to type "yes" whenever i try to ssh to a new host? [21:41] something11, sooo all is well now?? [21:41] i guess so :D [21:41] !language > SirMontu [21:41] SirMontu, please see my private message [21:41] .bash_profile runs fine but my aliases in .bashrc never work untill i run it manually or type 'bash' [21:41] something11, yeah by default 64 bit jaunty should be using the alpha build for the flashplugin-nonfree... so if it was crashing terribly something else was up [21:41] scott_ino2: When I was even more of a n00b in school than I am now, I ran a forkbomb() on the school's server [21:41] sporkbomb, oh noooz [21:41] scott_ino2: I was sshd in working on homework [21:41] scott_ino2: I learned my lesson! [21:42] sporkbomb, I'm surprised you can even still run those commands in nix [21:42] there's gotta be a better way of preventing someone from running it [21:42] aweeeeesome [21:42] scott_ino2: I was working on a C program for a class [21:42] * something11 kisses seidos :) [21:42] scott_ino2: ... and I ran the crazy program [21:42] thank you seidos ! :P [21:42] sporkbomb, lol yeah i bet that caused some people to wonder what the heck was going on [21:43] something11, it was gateway, I just pointed you to it :) === ballzee is now known as Sinister [21:43] scott_ino2: hahaha ... that is an understatement [21:43] sporkbomb, im sure, how is there not a security policy that prevents it is what i don't get [21:43] scott_ino2: the IT guys came right to the computer lab ... right to my computer ... along with 3 campus police officers [21:43] sporkbomb, i feel like anyone can just do it [21:44] seidos, hehe... cool... [21:44] thanks gateway [21:44] If they knew exactly what computer I was on, then why couldn't they be smart enough to prevent it? [21:44] sporkbomb, how did you have ssh access to their network?? that just doesn't seem like something tey should give out to kids ;-) [21:44] they gave you enough rope to hang yourself [21:44] I was trying to remove software from /usr/local/games so I wrote "rm games" and it said "cannot remove games: Is a directory" [21:44] scott_ino2: all students do [21:44] scott_ino2: it was for the CS department [21:45] could the fact i'm using mingetty be the reason for .bashrc not running? [21:45] well ... all CS students, that is [21:45] sporkbomb, like i said, how is there not a security policy in place for that [21:45] sporkbomb, good times, carry on! [21:45] hi, i need help. i have no sounds after updating bios on my asus eee pc. :( [21:45] sporkbomb: Re! It works. I used the Alternate CD and I could have installed Ubuntu again via this CD. [21:45] chifong_11F: sorry I *must* ask: to how many *new* host do you open ssh connections daily? [21:45] sporkbomb: The Ubuntu boot menu came up. [21:45] I was trying to remove software from /usr/local/games so I wrote "rm games" and it said "cannot remove games: Is a directory" [21:45] felix_: but Ubuntu still doesn't recognize your DVD Rom? [21:46] it is a one time job, i am talk about 500 [21:46] roffe_: remove packages. not directories. [21:46] mneptok, how would I go about to do that? [21:46] sporkbomb: Correct. I sadly have no Live CD, but only the Alternate one. === i is now known as Guest5939 [21:46] <_Trinity_> I'm continue to have problem with X [21:46] roffe_: use Synaptic to remove apps you no longer want installed [21:46] sporkbomb: So I can't try it via a Live System. [21:46] felix_: there has to be something screwy w/ your kernel [21:47] roffe_: System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager [21:47] felix_: hey ... what MOBO are you using? [21:47] <_Trinity_> can some help out? I can post my xorg.config and error messages [21:47] just curious [21:47] sporkbomb: I'm using a notebook - so I'm sorry. I have no idea. [21:48] mneptok, Sure, i usually do that, but this was quake 4, which was an installer that doesn't exist in the repositories [21:48] sporkbomb: Is there a way to let the kernel re-write the /etc/fstab? [21:48] roffe_: then remove only the directories created by Q4 [21:48] mneptok, that's what I tried to do, but it said it cannot remove directories [21:49] felix_: rewriting the fstab will do you no good if the device isn't even recognized [21:49] felix_: what I would do is upgrade your kernel [21:49] roffe_: rm -r [21:49] there has to be something screwy w/ your kernel [21:49] felix_: I'm almost willing to bet a U.S. dollar on it [21:49] mneptok, Thanks [21:49] sporkbomb: To what? I always do all upgrades. And the problem is there since six months. [21:50] mneptok, by the way, what did that command mean? [21:50] roffe_, it's the recursive option [21:50] roffe_, do man rm [21:50] and it'll tell you about all the options [21:51] is there anyway to del one dual boot partition and make the other partition bigger with the memory you just got by del one of them [21:51] hi, i need help. i have no sounds after updating bios on my asus eee pc. i'm using UNR:( [21:51] I really don't know what to do about my sound :( [21:51] scott_ino2, I'd try that, but I've already deleted the directories with rm -r [21:51] i have a version of kubuntu dualbooted with ubuntu,, can i del the kubuntu side and give ubuntu the 40 gigs [21:51] exit [21:51] oops [21:52] !who | chifong_11F [21:52] chifong_11F: As you can see, this is a large channel.

Can someone tell me how to resolve this? [22:08] ThRixXx: ok ;) thanks [22:08] has anyone setup tun0 over ssh? I followed the docs and successfully created tun0 on both ends, and they can ping each other, but they can't ping anything else on the network (I added the routes, and enabled ip_forwarding). Is there anything special I have to do for the entire peer network to be available and not just the peer tun0 ip? [22:08] Greek-Boy, did you install your video drivers ? [22:08] chifong_11F: this is a bit off topic here - join me in ##networking please [22:09] ThRixXx" I used the dell iso dvd which is supposed to do that.

Il try and figure out how to check [22:11] Is there some known issue with 9.04/nvidia-glx-180/GF 7600GT? I have been trying to get this to work all day and now I've had it, everytime I activate the proprietary driver and reboot my computer it progresses to the point where it's supposed to start X but the screen goes black and says "No signal input". What could be wrong? Xorg.0.log doesn't show any errors.. [22:11] lspci [22:11] Alfredo555, any specific reason you're still running 32bit on a server?

[22:15] hellfire: backup your configs [22:15] na, 3.4gig on a 32bit system is pretty normal [22:15] scott_ino2: thanks bro [22:16] might reinstall when 9.10 arrives [22:16] I am sorry, but how?

If you put your home folder on a separate partition, you can reinstall "around it" and leave it untouched (you can move /home to a separtae partition after instal as well).

I just use the server kernel? all apps working? exceptions? [22:19] Alfredo555, thats less a kernel problem, it's more of a general hardware and memory access problem ;) [22:20] hello. [22:20] may I ask for some help? [22:20] Flannel: by the way, settings for graphics card are there too? [22:20] hi [22:20] scott_ino2: Ok, got it [22:20] archman, you should really go for 64bit if you can [22:20] chrisl, can i upgrade from 32bit?

[22:23] chris|: i am not that advancd in linux [22:23] What can I use to videochat with multiple friends? They use ichat [22:24] evon, take a look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile [22:24] ThRixXx, does that work for you? [22:24] philippe, skye, ekiga, amsn and even the latest release of pidgin have support for video chat... [22:24] evon, but I'm not even sure there is a fatx driver in the mainline kernel, so you might have more luck looking for a live cd with fatx support on google [22:25] is there a command like top that sorts processes on their network usage?

[23:41] hi dudes [23:41] <_Trinity_> Rage 128 [23:41] krdyt: re install the whole of Ubuntu, because of this, probably not [23:42] <___> I'm having a problem with getting a write error on MSN messenger's network. I run Ubuntu, fully updated, and access MSN messenger via Pidgin. The disconnect is not at regular intervals, but each interval is no more than 15 minutes apart. I've already tried renaming ~/.purple in case it was an issue with my profile. No dice on that. Anybody have other ideas? [23:42] my problem is how can i resize extended ubuntu partition as shown here [23:42] hi all [23:42] zmitya: hi [23:42] http://img442.imageshack.us/img442/9969/particiones.jpg [23:42] <_Trinity_> erUSUL: Rage 128, RL/VR AGP I beleieve [23:42] using Gparted [23:43] _Trinity_: ok; try 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg' [23:43] guys, my colleague just installed a fresh basic hardy at USA. I'm sitting at hungary and I would like to run a wireshark program there but get the window here in my PC [23:43] _Trinity_: that should generate a good xorg.conf [23:43] even sudo iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 6881 -j ACCEPT does not work [23:43] <_Trinity_> erUSUL: I threw in the Xorg log before teh conf file in the pastebin. Yes I've tried that [23:43] what do I need to install on the server to became able to get that window here ? [23:43] erUSUL OK I tried what you said but nothing happened [23:43] same error [23:44] <_Trinity_> erUSUL: like I said. It generates a conf that works at 15 frames per sec [23:44] if I ssh with "ssh -X user@host" and do "echo $DISPLAY" that this cariable is empty [23:44] *variable [23:45] <_Trinity_> erUSUL: unless "better" support has been dropped [23:45] sebsebseb, i meant reinstall VLC [23:45] etale: sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/lock ? [23:45] erUSUL ahhhhh I think i just needed to use sudo... it would begin the updater thing without bouncing back a root error in the terminal [23:45] krdyt: well that won't do any good [23:45] it works on intrepid [23:45] krdyt: well [23:45] krdyt: you got to delete the .folder for a program really [23:45] guntbert: I still can't get my monitor to display the correct resolution. I have no idea what I need to do to xorg.conf. [23:45] krdyt: then it's like you just installed it [23:45] _Trinity_: but maybe working from it you can improve things without breaking X [23:45] erUSUL works now... *feels like idiot* [23:45] anyone here has ever used gparted? [23:45] <_Trinity_> erUSUL: bee trying that for the pst two days [23:46] etale: :) [23:46] !hdmi [23:46] Sorry, I don't know anything about hdmi [23:46] yes i used gparted Cigniter [23:46] <_Trinity_> erUSUL: I don't it;s properly configured because if I specify the r128 driver, X doesn't start [23:47] <___> I'm having a problem with getting a write error on MSN messenger's network. I run Ubuntu, fully updated, and access MSN messenger via Pidgin. The disconnect is not at regular intervals, but each interval is no more than 15 minutes apart. I've already tried renaming ~/.purple in case it was an issue with my profile. No dice on that. Anybody have other ideas? [23:47] why can't i resize my ext3 partition [23:47] ? [23:47] <_Trinity_> erUSUL: and that's the driver for this card [23:47] _Trinity_: your card uses r128 driver [23:47] what is the msg Cigniter ? [23:47] <_Trinity_> should [23:47] is it mounted ? [23:47] i have 40 gb free space [23:47] <_Trinity_> erUSUL: else the ati [23:47] !ati | _Trinity_ [23:47] probably because it is not on a primary partition [23:47] _Trinity_: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [23:47] matu watch the pic to get a better idea [23:48] _Trinity_: trynity is xserver-xorg-video-r128 installed ? [23:48] <_Trinity_> erUSUL: and it works just the same without either of them. So, X isn't working properly, so I think [23:48] what i want to do [23:48] http://img442.imageshack.us/img442/9969/particiones.jpg [23:48] Hello, Was wondering if there was a way to turn up the volume on my computer. I'ver tried everything [23:48] <___> I'm having a problem with getting a write error on MSN messenger's network. I run Ubuntu, fully updated, and access MSN messenger via Pidgin. The disconnect is not at regular intervals, but each interval is no more than 15 minutes apart. I've already tried renaming ~/.purple in case it was an issue with my profile. No dice on that. Anybody have other ideas? [23:48] _Trinity_: can you paste your [23:48] i want to increase extended ubuntu partition and use the 4x gb free [23:48] <_Trinity_> erUSUL: it wasn't thi morning and X popped up withour any form of accel [23:48] _Trinity_: /var/log/Xorg.0.log ?? maybe there is a clue of what is failing ? [23:49] <_Trinity_> erUSUL: it's already pasted [23:49] <_Trinity_> erUSUL: see http://paste.ubuntu.com/265195/ [23:49] it is simply because you have to extend your extended partition [23:50] how can i do that with gparted i botted from ubuntu live cd [23:50] _Trinity_: (EE) No devices detected. [23:50] _Trinity_: o.0! [23:50] still not working.. [23:50] <_Trinity_> erUSUL: that right [23:51] _Trinity_: seems like a bug in the driver or maybe some problem with the hard ? [23:51] i dunno how to do that Cigniter [23:51] I have a problem with my sound? Has anyone heard anything about being able to turn it up? [23:51] ok [23:51] i additin of that you did not need an extended partition [23:51] because you only have 4 partitions === hey` is now known as grumete [23:51] <_Trinity_> erUSUL: problem with the hard drive? I checkd it with OS X's utility before installing ubuntu. It's fine [23:51] i need help with my wireless internet connection in ubuntu 9.04 please [23:52] and the swap should not be at the end of the disk cause it is more slow [23:52] _Trinity_: so the bad performance is probably becouse when you do not specify the driver you end up using "vesa" or something like that... [23:52] <_Trinity_> erUSUL: exactly [23:52] _Trinity_: no with the graphic card itself... [23:52] <_Trinity_> erUSUL: but how do I fix it? If it's a bug? [23:52] Cigniter: right click on the partiton choose resize ? [23:53] Is it a glitch in the software? [23:53] _Trinity_: if its a bug you can only report it... [23:53] <_Trinity_> erUSUL: Yeah, I suppose [23:53] my wireless wont connect.. :| [23:53] _Trinity_: i really dunno what to add... the xorg.conf seems fine [23:53] Cigniter, here is your case http://blog.frozenonline.com/2009/02/14/how-to-extend-the-extended-partition [23:53] ersusul is only allow to decrease size not increase, that's reare [23:53] is it possible to have auto driver via samba on a printer that isnt shared using samba? [23:54] can someone msg me how to make cron start tilda if there is no tilda running. then I can use exit to refresh my .bashrc and tilda will restart [23:54] oka, thanks for the link [23:54] <_Trinity_> erUSUL: I suppose I could using the ati driver [23:54] Just thought I'd say (in case someone looks through the IRC logs with a similar issue) that the reason .bashrc was not running was because I had created a .bash_profile file. Creating this stops .profile from running, which would normally invoke .bashrc on login. Adding 'if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then . ~/.bashrc fi' to the start of .bash_profile remedies the situation. [23:54] Has anyone heard of a Great AUTOCAD software to use in Ubuntu 9.04? [23:54] <___> I'm having a problem with getting a write error on MSN messenger's network.

[23:54] <_Trinity_> erUSUL: now that my xorg.conf file is probably crystal perfect [23:56] :( [23:56] chromium looks like its got potential but ... [23:56] is it possible to have auto driver via samba on a printer that isnt shared using samba? [23:56] _Trinity_: what does "lspci | grep -i vga" returns ? [23:57] <_Trinity_> nada [23:57] nn [23:57] _Trinity_: can you paste the entire "lspci" ? [23:58] <_Trinity_> sure [23:59] Has anyone heard of a Great AUTOCAD software to use in Ubuntu 9.04?
