[00:00] how do i know the display number?? [00:00] when open display here is pink icon on lefyt up site screen monitor.. [00:00] i just purchased an ipod classic, and i quickly grew to hate itunes. what can people recommend as a linux replacement? [00:01] :sebsebseb The server problems aren't the issue now, that's just why I was wanting to switch to something other than FAT. [00:01] neoTheCat: a player :) or a itunes alternative? [00:01] lstarnes: so how doo i do this? [00:01] harjot_: I told yoy [00:01] i love the ipod, it's itunes i hate :) [00:01] *you [00:01] neoTheCat: gtkpod is one I think as an itunes alternative [00:01] harjot_: it is done through the terminal [00:01] lstarnes: i dont know the display number [00:02] lstarnes: i dont know the display number [00:02] harjot_: it is likely :0.0 [00:02] neoTheCat: and Banshee is an alright player, that can sync your ipod [00:02] 0.0? [00:02] harjot_: :0.0 (with the :) [00:02] harjot_: you could also try ps aux | grep X [00:02] wow it works [00:02] harjot_: which will reveal the arguemts used by X [00:02] can anyone help me identify why i cant x forward, everytime i try I get cannot open display as an error message [00:03] how would i revert his? [00:03] I'm trying to setup synergy in ubuntu but when i launch it i get the error: "WARNING: synergys.cpp,435: cannot open primary screen: unable to open screen" How do I fix this? [00:03] harjot_: however, you should not mess with other users' displays [00:03] just disconnecct and reconnect? [00:03] harjot_: export -n DISPLAY [00:03] neoTheCat: Songbird is quite a good player, almost a itunes clone [00:03] but cant i just disconnect and reconnect? [00:03] Pirate_Hunter: can you clarify? Not sure what you are referring to. [00:03] harjot_: that works too [00:03] i have 80 gigs of music, and banshee froze. [00:03] ok thanks very much [00:03] bye [00:03] does songbird synch with an ipod? [00:04] Pirate_Hunter: Ive never tried it like you describe but I believe you are right. What ubuntu hardy on both client and server? [00:04] neoTheCat: Yes, in almost the same way itunes does. [00:04] hi, I just installed XUbuntu 9.04 and I cannot change my keyboard layout to TR it shows the turkish flag on keyboard switch plug in but does not work. any ideas? [00:04] neoTheCat: And it has a wide user base, thanks to it being made by mozilla (AFAIK) [00:04] Hi, can anyone tell me how to check if my processor is X86 or 64? [00:04] changing from keyboard settings also does not work [00:05] clarezoe: cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep lm [00:05] how would i quit without the proccess being terminated? [00:05] slhsen: I'm not sure, but if you lack a decent response here, try #xubuntu also. [00:05] harjot_: you can't [00:05] harjot_: you could try disown [00:05] clarezoe: if i am correct uname -a is telling you your architektur of hardware (not kernel) [00:05] Jeruvy, kevdog: basically I got a compaq compaq with a minimal install of ubuntu no xserver and my main comp with ubuntu and xserver setup, im trying to x forward the connection from the compaq to the main comp however all i get is cannot open display [00:05] Jeruvy: trying :) [00:05] harjot_: but that usually requires the program starting with an & following it [00:05] so the whole problem im having is that i installed the ati drivers after installing ubuntu, once i restarted my monitor now runs in 1080i or 1920 by 1080, though i can only support 1360 by 768, when opening up display under system, it causes the computer to slow down, when using catalyst it does not keep the settings, or if it changes, it just zooms in basically, any fixes to this problem? [00:05] lstarnes, thanks, but nothing appears by proc/cpuinfo [00:06] clarezoe: then it is 32-bit x86 [00:06] so if i launch a process using ssh i cant continue it while i close this terminal? [00:06] harjot_: did you read what I said? [00:06] lstarnes, thanks! [00:06] harjot_: sure you can [00:06] harjot_: use screen [00:06] how? [00:06] screen? [00:06] harjot_: screen [00:06] (32 minutes ago) hey ... is "Ubuntu Studio" any good? [00:06] harjot_: man screen [00:07] iceroot: I think he is using a graphical application [00:07] screen session? [00:07] <3 screen [00:07] Pirate_Hunter: ah, ok I thought you were asking about a mime option. I'm not familiar with xserver, sorry. [00:07] harjot_: screen is only for CLI programs [00:07] harjot_: when you started the process, did you follow its command with an &? [00:07] no [00:07] harjot_: ctrl+C [00:08] harjot_: then run the command again followed by & [00:08] harjot_: then run disown [00:08] and works! [00:08] thanks [00:08] again [00:08] u have taught me alot [00:08] bye [00:08] for now [00:08] harjot_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:08] harjot_: before you leave, is there a reason for you doing this? [00:08] btw im not leaving just not gonna look at my pc [00:09] and im trying to expand my knowledge as i got the hang off ssh -X but wanted to do it the other way around as i like messin' around wiv my home pcs [00:09] my xorg.conf doesn't list any resolutions or color depths...where do i add them and in what format? [00:09] cause im 12 [00:09] is there a way like "eth0 firefox http://google.com" "eth1 firefox http://foo.bar" so i want to specify the eth-device (not only for firefox, wget also) [00:10] harjot_: always good to start early [00:10] pbink, something like this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/265595/ [00:10] kahen: perfect, thanx [00:10] it's the subsection "Display" that you're looking for [00:10] Hello guys. About drivers for Brother printers... I've downloaded all brother-*.deb packages and installed in Debian Lenny. I can see many PPD files under /usr/share/ppd/Brother/, but ot doesn't contain PPD file for Brother MFC-640CW... Is there any chance that Ubuntu maintainer will update these packages to support newest printers? [00:10] who can help me with a sound problem? everythin is mute after upgrading to 9.04, same as when doing a fresh install of 9.04 [00:10] disabled pulse and running 1.0.18 of alsa [00:11] auguem br? [00:11] pbink, try not to put in a mode that your monitor doesn't support. we've all heard the old horror stories of monitors not liking being told to enter modes they don't support [00:11] cant install alsa 1.0.21 either, as it's givin me a permission denied on make [00:11] AE^laptop, use sudo male [00:11] kahen: roger...and the color depth property is called what exactly? [00:11] AE^laptop, use sudo make * [00:11] pbink, i think it's depth... just a sec [00:11] i need 32 bit, in 16 currently [00:11] im kinda having the same problem that pbink is having [00:12] pbink, DefaultDepth 24 in the Screen section should do it [00:12] how do I increase the volume? Because i put it all the way up and its still pretty low, thankyou [00:12] cameron: ofc i did [00:12] !ok you know what, up to this point, this place has provided NO HELP at getting me what I needed to help set up video recording so I can record videos to my hard disk and burn DVDs -- I got an entire box of VHS movies I need converted! [00:12] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [00:12] kahen: roger i'll report back [00:12] running command echo $DISPLAY gives me a blank line does that mean i can't forward X applications? [00:13] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/410913 - this thread seems to be more and more of the truth [00:13] Pirate_Hunter: possibly [00:13] Pirate_Hunter: over ssh? [00:13] Pirate_Hunter: you did ssh -X? [00:13] oh~ xmms is dead? [00:13] AE^laptop, If you have root privileges, I can't think of any reason why it would be permission denied, but then again I don't know a lot about alsa [00:13] Wildbat: try audacious [00:13] cameron: me neither, i've even tried running make with sudo [00:13] migg137, right click on the sound icon and press open volume control and turn everything up [00:14] zamba, lstarnes: yeah I did the -X command still not sure why I got no display or how to fix it [00:14] Pirate_Hunter: what about -XY? [00:15] Pirate_Hunter: do you have installed the required binaries on the server? [00:15] how do i make routing tables like the ones i add with "route add -net ..." persistent across boots in ubuntu? [00:15] someone in #debian mentioned i could just add them into /etc/network/interfaces [00:16] zamba: what are the required binaries other than openssh-server [00:16] but they pointed me here === Like is now known as _IDon [00:16] lstarnes: XY gives the same [00:16] Pirate_Hunter: you need libraries for X [00:16] Pirate_Hunter: of course :) [00:16] anyone who knows why bloody ubuntu 9.04 wont give me any sound? worked with ubuntu 8.10 with nvidia azalia audio chipset [00:16] anybody knows? [00:17] zamba: I was told I didnt need to actually have x on the host machine which is something im trying to avoid due to is large dependencies and components [00:17] henux: what kind of stuff is it that you want to keep? [00:17] henux: gateway? or more advanced routing than that? [00:17] kahen: added 1680x150 and DefaultDepth 32 and the virtualbox restarted with "...need to run in low graphics mode", then a bunch of errors then opened with the initial settings...almost! [00:17] i have this: [00:17] anyone have an answer to my problem with the ati driver? [00:17] 1050* [00:17] Pirate_Hunter: you don't need X, but you need some required libraries [00:17] route add -net netmask eth0 [00:18] zamba: ^ [00:18] Pirate_Hunter: try installing the xauth package on the server [00:18] henux: add a up option to the interface [00:18] zamba: what does that contain? [00:18] zamba: how would i actually do that? [00:18] pbink, oh well, it was worth a try. good luck with it then [00:18] cameron, thankyou [00:18] henux: up route add ... [00:19] aha okay [00:19] thank you sir [00:19] henux: np [00:19] hehe, yeah, at least the error messages were in my native res ;) [00:19] henux: and i'm not a sir ;) === _IDon is now known as Like [00:19] i will look kindly on you when i rule the world [00:19] yeah, have mercy :) [00:19] Pirate_Hunter: sudo aptitude install xauth [00:19] Pirate_Hunter: aptitude show xauth [00:20] Pirate_Hunter: and that will pull with it x11-common, i believe === Andre_Gondim is now known as Andre_Gondim-afk [00:21] zamba: actually it doesnt but it is installed will try now [00:21] migg137, I take it it worked then? [00:21] Pirate_Hunter: ok === Like is now known as OnAir [00:22] cameron, yes improved a little bit but good enough i just increased the "front" by like 25% [00:22] looking for help installing drivers === zz_monteith is now known as monteith [00:22] migg137, Yeah thats the one that normally has the most effect, Front [00:22] does anyone know of an application to slice *binary* files? === Rootie is now known as RootChaos [00:23] kahen: what should i look into to get my virtualbox ubuntu to boot directly to terminal mode? [00:23] Ademan: hmm, not sure if it's related but there is a slice package [00:23] :/ === ubuntu_ is now known as vede [00:24] :/ [00:24] Okay. [00:24] pbink, you mean absolutely no gui loaded? [00:24] pbink, the old fashioned way would be to change the default runlevel... but ubuntu uses Upstart now... eh... dunno :) [00:24] So I did that sudo invoke-rg.whateverblahblah thing [00:24] It ends with stop. [00:24] cameron: yep [00:24] just terminal [00:24] And it ended the X server. [00:24] zamba, kevdog: it works now xauth did the trick had to install dbus-x11 but yeah working now thanks [00:24] Ademan: there is also split, I think it's part of coreutils (maybe wrong..) [00:24] Pirate_Hunter: np [00:25] Then I did ctrl+alt+f2 and successfully installed my video drivers. [00:25] etc/initdefault? [00:25] pbink: well you may be better off installing something that by default has no gui, which will obviously boot to terminal [00:25] Then I (ugh) did sudo invokeblah blah START [00:25] And... [00:25] Hello people [00:25] Now I'm on a LiveCD. [00:25] cameron: hmm, well i'd like the ability to load the gui, but don't use it that much on this virtual machine === Crshman_ is now known as Crshman [00:25] Because I can no longer boot. [00:25] can any body tell me what command I use for connecting to remote-exploit channel ? [00:26] rojoloco47: /join #remote-exploit [00:26] So... I believe I now I have the X thingy running on ctrl-alt-f2 but not on ctrl-alt-fx (where x is default) [00:26] pbink: I'm not exactly sure what you use it for, but my friend has just installed gentoo, and installed xcfe, but he automatically boots to command line [00:26] What is "postfix" ? I installed "devscripts" to get "checkbashisms", and now I see postfix / postconf errors every time my network goes up or down. I see a lot of Google results, but nothing that tells me "what" it is. [00:26] And when I try to boot, it completes its loading bar, but then it just stops at a black screen. [00:26] vede: it's usually on tty7 (ctrl+alt+f7) [00:27] thanks @ lstarnes :) [00:27] Okay. [00:27] cameron: roger, thanx [00:27] ziesemer: postfix is a mail transfer agent [00:27] Well, I need to know how to get it back on tty7, and off tty2. [00:27] hel dii [00:27] pbink, you could just change the tty, but trying to use the key combination under ubuntu will change the host computers tty [00:27] vede: ctrl+alt+f7 [00:27] Hello everyone. My Patchage is not connecting to my Jack-Server. Anyone know why this is? [00:27] Because I'm assuming that's the root of my problems. [00:27] vede: if X isn't running, that won't work [00:27] Istarnes, I can't boot, though. [00:27] lstarnes: why is it installed with devscripts? [00:27] cameron: like mintty? === michal__ is now known as blinnk [00:28] I figure it's either because my video drivers screwed things up, or because I accidentally mucked with X on tty2 and not tty7. [00:29] I can only make it up to the loading bar, then it's a black screen. [00:29] ziesemer: devscripts on my system doesn't appear to require or recommend postfix [00:29] No one's got an idea? [00:29] pbink: tty's aren't emulators, they are *like* exclusive sessions [00:29] ziesemer: I'm using 8.04 so it may be different on other versions [00:29] pbink: Are you using ubuntu now? [00:29] Boombox: maybe you aren't running the jack server [00:29] yeah on a virtualbox [00:30] desktop edition [00:30] Boombox: feel free to repeat every few minutes, it's a busy place, but not too frequently, ty. [00:30] I'm on 9.04. Guess I can just remove... [00:30] lstarnes: I am. I can connect single applications through the jack control, but patchage just won't connect to jack [00:30] wooooooow [00:30] pbink, if you press ctrl+alt+f[n] it will take you to a different tty, and ctrl+alt+f7 will take you back to the gui [00:30] soooooooooooooooooooo much better now [00:31] ahh smart, i forgot about those function switches [00:31] cameron: thanx [00:31] So can someone confirm that this is NOT because my video driver install didn't work, but because X is running on tty2 instead of tty7? [00:31] hi help for ubuntu french please :) [00:31] !fr [00:31] Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr [00:31] cameron: i ended up just unchecking gdm from the system > admin > services, but that works too [00:32] can someone give me a hand.. im running ubuntu 9.04 with 5yr old machine.. i assume because of libata it is reading my IDE 60gig as /dev/sda .. but i think this is causing a major performance issue [00:32] pbink, that should also work haha [00:32] i've googled everywhere, cant seem to find a solution that works [00:32] am i going to have to recompile my kernel to use old IDE drivers instead of libata ? [00:33] Um... Hello? [00:33] php aint processing its files instead im being asked to download and being told there is no know file to open it, however, I havelibapache2-mod-php5 installed, so what could be the problem? [00:34] God, trying to get support on a channel this busy sucks. [00:34] nobody wants to help === lukjad007 is now known as hidlukjadetel [00:34] heh [00:34] vede: it sounds like it may be a configuration issue [00:34] Okay. So how can I reset the configuration? [00:35] vede: were you installing video drivers earlier? [00:35] Yes. [00:35] !backup | vede [00:35] vede: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning [00:35] aschon: what makes you think you have an performance issue regarding your HDD? [00:35] And while on tty2 I STARTed X. [00:35] While it was STOPped on tty7. [00:35] hello I have a problem. it errors when I try to dpkg. whats the command to install it again. [00:35] ? [00:35] Hi I'm trying the ubuntu netbook remix on a MSI Wind U100, which is listed as a supported netbook, however, the wireless card no longer connects after an update-manager upgrade to a newer kernel [00:35] So I figured that might have something to do with it. [00:35] zelda1: that depends on the error [00:36] So my /var/log/dpkg.log shows a LOT of stuff installed along with devscripts that I don't want. What is the easiest way to undo? [00:36] let me copy and past it [00:36] I'm using WPA2 Personal and have repeatedly set the key and it still doesn't connect [00:36] vede: I think it could be the driver itself causing it [00:36] Ugh. [00:36] Of course. [00:36] I'm getting the following error a lot in syslog : rtl8180: WW:No more TX desc, returning 30 of 30 [00:36] Using Synaptic to remove the package, even with "complete remove", doesn't look like it will remove any dependencies... [00:36] any help? [00:36] vede: were you using ubuntu's driver manager? [00:36] No. I just downloaded the drivers from nvidia. [00:37] vede: are you using SLI-Cards?

[00:37] zelda1: dpkg, not dkpg [00:37] zelda1: I think dpkg is installed by default [00:38] I thought so too. [00:38] seeing as apt-get is a front-end of dpkg ... [00:38] hang on. It maybe my typo error [00:38] zelda1: you're spelling it wrong. [00:38] Should I have used Ubuntu's driver manager instead of downloading the Linux drivers from nvidia? === OnAir is now known as Like [00:38] vede: that would have been much easier [00:38] php aint processing its files instead im being asked to download and being told there is no know file to open it, however, I have libapache2-mod-php5 installed, so what could be the problem? [00:38] the nvidia driver's are fine [00:38] There we go. Thanks man. [00:38] just try to uninstall and reinstall them [00:39] help backtrack [00:39] I can't uninstall or reinstall them. [00:39] I can't do ANYTHING. [00:39] why? [00:39] Because I can't boot. [00:39] oh [00:39] I'm using a liveCD now. [00:39] sucks for you :D [00:39] Pirate_Hunter, are you trying to run it under a server, or command line? [00:39] vede: have you tried the recovery mode? [00:39] nah, just kidding [00:39] Yeah, but I didn't know what to do. [00:39] Pirate_Hunter: try trouble shooting your .htaccess or httpd.conf file for misconfiguration [00:39] cam you copy text [right-click menu] in shiretoko? there's no copy function in mine, i can only copy from keyboard [ctrl+c]. also there's no "search with google" like it was in the original firefox [00:40] I tried to do ctrl-alt-f2 to stop X, but that didn't work. [00:40] vede: that won't stop X. It just changes to a different terminal [00:40] cameron: huh im trying to run a file through my browser on the actuall server [00:40] I know. [00:40] I planned to go to tty2 and then stop X. [00:40] vede: try ctrl + alt + backspace [00:40] Pirate_Hunter: try sudo a2enmod php5 [00:40] Pirate_Hunter, it should be something in the httpd.conf file then [00:40] Sh3r1ff, isn't that disabled in jaunty? [00:41] trying to install drivers and get error " cannot write in catman mode" [00:41] kahen: by default, yes [00:41] kahen: don't know, i'm still on 8.04 [00:41] I'm using 9.04: If I just played sound from another application (youtube, vlc etc.), when I go to play sound from another app, nothing plays. Any suggestions? [00:41] any help? [00:41] kahen: but it can be reenabled [00:41] vede, so to restart X from a virtual terminal, the command would be "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart"... i think (anyone else, who is 100% sure?) [00:42] hello [00:42] matt132: you can play only one "signal" over alsa.. you have to install a soundsevrer like pulseaudio [00:42] Okay, but can I do that without having to boot? [00:42] vede: no [00:42] kahen: its sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start [00:43] vede: but it likely will work in revobery mode [00:43] *recovery [00:43] Okay. [00:43] But... [00:43] Ugh. [00:43] This makes no sense to me. [00:44] jan500...so just, sudo apt-get install pulseaudio? [00:44] yes? [00:44] cameron: my httpd.conf file is errrh empty, is that suppsoed to be like that [00:44] erm [00:44] I go into recovery mode, sudo etc/init.d/gdm start [00:44] Pirate_Hunter: I think it is apache2.conf [00:44] And if that doesn't work? [00:44] lstarnes: that command did nothing instead told me to force restart [00:44] */etc/ [00:44] Pirate_Hunter: did it say anything else? [00:45] Screw it, if that doesn't work, I'll just reinstall. [00:45] vede: if that fails, try sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [00:46] lstarnes: i've got the file open but i have no clue what i am looking for? [00:46] cam you copy text [right-click menu] in shiretoko? there's no copy function in mine, i can only copy from keyboard [ctrl+c]. also there's no "search with google" like it was in the original firefox [00:46] Pirate_Hunter: I don't know either [00:46] Pirate_Hunter: after using sudo a2enmod php5, did you restart apache2? [00:47] lstarnes: lstarnes yup used force restart like it suggested now it is enabled but i still cant run the file through the browser [00:48] lstarnes: File Type: “application/x-httpd-php type”. - thats what i get when i try [00:49] will someone help me set up a samba share on a comuter I'm ssh'd into?

[00:50] cameron: i would but i have no clue what to change this is a clean install of php and apache [00:50] OK, I just switch from alsa to pulse audio, but sound still won't play from two applications. (I can't have banshee and youtube open at the same time even if one isn't playing) [00:51] I'm trying to do x11 forwarding over ssh wiht a windows client. I have xming + fonts instaleld and am using putty to connected. The putty event log says that x11 is succesfully forwarded, XMing says that clients are connected, but I see nothing.

[02:33] eboyjr: you have a filled password or? [02:33] eboyjr: below port 22 add a new line with port ### ..### being the new port.. that way you'll have 22 and the new port. [02:33] Looked around for some docking stations and a new battery. Could probably re refurb the sucker for $100. Or just buy a netbook for $300. [02:33] no blank pass [02:33] eboyjr: no [02:33] eboyjr: once you add the settings you need to restart ssh [02:33] yes i am me [02:33] sshd is teh server [02:33] chikee: ok good luck [02:33] no there is apparently no file there [02:33] The issue with the vaio is that the thing is old, its a p3 1ghz beast. [02:33] how long does it take until an uploaded ppa appears on launchpad? [02:34] total 0 [02:34] harry97: then you have a problem, you need that file [02:34] can it be reinstalled? [02:34] i've been having a weird problem for the last few weeks. On ubuntu 9.04 64bit, I cannot get any "docked" apps in the notification area (e.g. pidgin, miro, transmission) to come to the foreground (focused) when clicking on them. They just sit in the taskbar or disappear behind the current focused window/app [02:34] kwadronaut: #launchpad [02:34] hay just gettin' use to linux [02:34] harry97: try: touch ~/.Xauthority [02:34] I thought X generated that file automatically if it isn't there. [02:34] i tried reinstlling xinit and xorg [02:34] Worst thing is I can't USB boot off of it either. evil thing. If I could USB boot I would just run knoppix off the sucker, but no joy. [02:34] ok [02:34] prince_jammys: me too [02:34] bastid_raZor: Jan500: Okay I had to uncomment the Port line 22 in that file. I also added 8083. How do I restart ssh now? [02:34] how do I check/change my virutal nic mappings to make sure my eth1 is mapped to the interface for my vmware instance? [02:35] eboyjr: /etc/init.d/ssh restart [02:35] LogicFan: isn't there a focus bug for that on launchpad(sorry I'm thinking out loud)? Could have sworn I saw that one. [02:36] how do you get rights to do things u cant do before? [02:36] Jan500: Maybe I do not have the ssh server installed? Only the client? I think that is weird. I do not have /etc/init.d/ssh [02:36] kellykel: use sudo [02:36] kellykel: type sudo before the command and then enter your password [02:36] kellykel: use sudo and gksudo [02:36] hm [02:36] !ssh > eboyjr .. there is a openssh server guide listed there. it may help too. [02:36] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [02:36] touched that file.. [02:36] there doesnt seem to be anything in the home diredorey [02:36] harry97: ok try startx [02:36] Jeruvy, I've tried searching google, but i guess i'm not using the right terms. i don't find anything [02:36] eboyjr: try sudo apt-get install openssh-server [02:37] i had 300 gigabytes ... yikes [02:37] But, I have managed to get the ubuntu install to play mp3s via the realplayer, which is horribly kludgy. I just wish I could run something like VLC off a flash drive like you can with windoze these days [02:37] harry97: is this a new install? [02:37] not exactly [02:37] Jan500: bastid_raZor: Okay thank you :) This should help a lot. [02:37] Psibr: its spelt 'windows' [02:37] week and a half...

[02:37] same error for startx [02:38] kellykel-> save it on top of it [02:38] kellykel: or just delete it then save in its place [02:38] what if i dont have the rights? [02:38] kellykel: cp /path/to/somefile /path/to/the/other [02:38] kellykel: sudo [02:38] kellykel: you can use nautilus if you wish, if you need to run nautilus with admin access run: gksudo nautilus [02:38] kellykel: put sudo in front of that [02:39] ok [02:39] i fixed my automount problem, in case anyone cares [02:39] LogicFan: hmm one is Bug #271343 [02:40] unitheroy: i care [02:40] unitheroy: kinda :) [02:40] unitheory, sure.. how'd you do it? === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [02:41] humm [02:41] nautilus was set not to automount media through a setting in gconf that does not appear in any config tool [02:41] ahh [02:41] is there a way to find the size of a dir from a command line? [02:41] Jeruvy, i do not have a 2nd monitor. i'm on a laptop [02:42] harry97-> du -h [02:42] harry97: du -h folder [02:42] thanks [02:42] du -sh foo [02:42] harry97: the last output is the size [02:42] prince_jammys: if you read that instead of seeing it as a command.. it read 'douche foo' [02:42] is it possible to install ubuntu from within ubuntu (as alternate OS)? [02:43] exco: you can use virtualisation [02:43] bastid_raZor: heh. sudo apt-get install douche [02:43] exco: virtual machine? [02:43] bastid_raZor, thats what i was thinking but didnt want to be the one to say it [02:43] does any know how i can get a hot box for verizon fios hdtv box [02:43] no, I can't use a virtual machine ... some of my hardware isn't supported in Jaunty and I want to check if it gets better with Karmic [02:44] !info douche [02:44] Package douche does not exist in jaunty [02:44] heh, i also checked. [02:44] exco: boot to karmic live cd and test [02:44] exco, +1 for live cd [02:44] is a umpc and I have no USB CD at hand ;-) [02:44] hello [02:44] well I'll put it on a USB stick then and go from there [02:44] exco: make a usb stick bootable [02:45] bigmike: hi [02:45] prince_jammys: heh, i was making sure :) [02:45] Hell, I'm on my laptop trying to determing how I should layout my partitions. I have a 40mb at the beginning (came shipped that way),15GB recovery (dell), 320GB for vista, and 131GB unallocated. [02:45] hey eskimo [02:45] just wanted to know if it was possible to install Ubuntu from Ubuntu ;-) [02:45] lol well it is all there.... iin a folder named /home/ /filename.... [02:45] Problem is I don't have a partition for swap, What would I miss if I dont have swap? [02:45] wiht a blank space... [02:45] exco: you can't do that, you'll break the linux and it will never work again for anyone :) [02:45] netbooker: the 131GB break it down to 15GB or / and the rest for /home .. that is if you want /home to have that large of a partition. [02:45] s/or/for [02:46] netbooker: you can create more partitions ni the unallocated space when you make the others [02:46] LogicFan: the bug seems to be using xinerama and twinview, so ya they seem related to 2+ monitor setups. [02:46] can there be a folder named < > ? [02:46] Can't I only have 4 primary partitions? [02:46] to a different matter ... should using a bluetooth mouse be as easy as pairing it in Jaunty? (I had it working in Intrepid, but now it won't work in Jaunty) [02:46] netbooker: if you never use all of your ram you dont need swap, 2gb swap should be enoughfor anyone [02:46] and I found out I need the boot files in a primary partitons, not logical [02:46] am i the only one with one big ext4 partition and nothing else? [02:47] ActionParsnip: I have 4gigs of ram, and plan on running 64bit [02:47] netbooker: yes but you can have secondary ones on an extended partition [02:47] unitheory: a /home partition is smart to have. reinstalls are easier that way.. when new versions come out [02:47] netbooker: means nothing, what is the pc to be used for? [02:48] bastid_raZor, easier in what way? [02:48] netbooker: if your needs never use more than 4Gb ram you are fine [02:48] netbooker: do you need the dell part? [02:48] ActionParsnip: Yeah, I guess that dosen't help. It will be my laptop, maybe running WoW through wine, most likely not. [02:48] netbooker: i had this partition too... i removed them [02:48] netbooker: i'd have some, games like muching ram [02:48] I'm beginning to think maybe Ubuntu isn't actually supposed to work. [02:48] ^^ +1 [02:48] Jan500: Yeah, I don't know what is on the 40mb thing, and I wasnt able to boot into recovery mode [02:49] unitheory: you lose no data. simply mv the /home/username to /home/oldusername and install.. then copy of important files .. remove /home/olderusername [02:49] exco: that's silly [02:49] vede: works 100% here [02:49] exco: in that context [02:49] Well, not a single thing I've read on the internet yet has actually worked. [02:49] At all. [02:49] netbooker: there are some utilities like memtest and so on.. [02:49] vede: depends on what hardware you have, if things just work, or not [02:49] vede: like what? [02:49] ActionParsnip: Perhaps I should remove the recovery partion? I couldn't get into it, so why waste the space? [02:49] but this you can start from usb or cd [02:49] I'm trying to use xming and putty to get x11 forwarding from my osx. I have forwarding enabled, and the putty even tlog says it connects succesfully with x11, and the xming icon says it has connections.. but I don't see anything on my windows screen. [02:49] what could be the problem [02:49] vede: for nvidia use the restricted drivers/hardware drivers manager.. [02:50] I did. [02:50] Jan500: Yeah, and last time I checked Ubuntu had that by default [02:50] ubuntu, not osx [02:50] where is the love? [02:50] !love | chikee [02:50] chikee: Love is like racing across the frozen tundra on a snowmobile which flips over, trapping you underneath. At night, the ice-weasels come. [02:50] I tried installing Skulltag. [02:50] thank yo [02:50] u [02:50] First, I tried to get the package with the application manager thing. [02:50] But that didn't work. [02:51] !love > chikee [02:51] chikee, please see my private message [02:51] Then I tried to download it directly and do it from there. [02:51] But that didn't work. [02:51] Jan500: bastid_raZor: I got it working. Just needed to install the server lol [02:51] Then I tried to use an autoinstallation script. [02:51] But even that didn't work. [02:51] Jan500: So maybe it is best that I get rid of the recovery partion and 40mb small thing, I have the Vista reinstall disk and all [02:51] eboyjr: ubuntu server didn't come with openssh-server ? or your desktop edition? [02:51] vede: what do you mean by didn't work? any error messages? remember in the computer universe "it doesn't work" doesn't say much [02:52] netbooker: do you nead vista :D [02:52] The autoinstallation script didn't work because I didn't have permissions. [02:52] I did it with sudo. [02:52] i would resize this partition to a smaller one [02:52] Still no effing permissions. [02:52] Jan500: Wish I didn't but I do for school, office, VS2008 and such [02:52] bastid_raZor: It was Ubuntu Server and no lol it didn't. Maybe I did something during installation. [02:52] I don't even understand why I'm still trying. [02:52] eboyjr: that is odd. i would think it did. good to know though. [02:53] !ssh | eboyjr : See this if you haven't already. [02:53] eboyjr : See this if you haven't already.: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for client usage. Putty is an SSH client for Windows; see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for it's homepage. See also !scp (Secure CoPy) and !sshd (Secure SHell Daemon) [02:53] Crap that's as simple as downloading and installing a 5MB game should not take over an hour. [02:53] prince_jammys: i hit him up with it a bit ago. [02:53] ok. [02:53] i would resize it to 100 (or maybe smaller) and the rest for ubuntu [02:54] eboyjr: be sure to see the scp options.. that is the best way to tranfer files to and from the server. [02:54] I could probably do this faster if I was using DOS. [02:54] netbooker: if you reinstall all.. install first vista then ubuntu [02:54] what are the normal contents of ~/. [02:54] bastid_raZor: Oh okay Thanks a lot [02:54] Xauthority [02:54] harry97: thats your home [02:54] sorry typo [02:54] Jan500: Yeah, thanks for the tips, I think I will shuffle things around, and get rid of the recovery partion, since I can't boot into it [02:55] ~/.Xautority [02:55] eboyjr: actually scp is probably one of the best ways to transfer files anywhere via cli. [02:55] harry97: many dot-files containing config for the user's programs. Varies from user to user. [02:55] netbooker: what model do you have? [02:55] And I think I've managed to get fragments of Skulltag strewn about on my computer, because SOME things worked, but others didn't. [02:55] netbooker: i have a xps 1530 [02:55] so if ls -l shows 0 then i am screwed? [02:55] bastid_raZor: I like FTP <3 :P [02:55] But I don't know where to look, or what they're called. [02:55] harry97: ls -la to view the dotfiles [02:55] i can't interact with my tablet when in "inverted" -- tablet mode what should i do? i am using jaunty [02:56] ah cooll [02:56] And everything seems to be jumbled up with tons of system files. [02:56] Jan500: I've got the studio XPS 1340 [02:56] eboyjr: by all means. do enjoy. [02:56] there you have an additional "boot-button" so you can conifgure that it wioll boot win directly or press the othe rbutton to boot linux :D [02:56] harry97: dotfiles are files whose names begin with a dot, and they are not shown by ls unless you specify '-a' [02:56] lol i will :D [02:56] And seeing how so much as misspelling something in a terminal can cause your computer to become useless, I didn't even want to have the window open too long. [02:56] what should the permissions be for those files? [02:56] i can't interact with my tablet when in "inverted" -- tablet mode what should i do? i am using jaunty, i can move mouse and cursor but i can't click on anything [02:56] harry97: varies. [02:57] is there any other channel [maybe specialized on networking] to address an issue with slow internet connection in Jaunty? please tell me, nothing i found on the internet works [02:57] harry97: .Xauthority should be owned by your user and group, and rw------- [02:57] Jan500: I don't know of this boot button [02:57] bro: ##networking ? [02:57] And there's a serious lack of readme here. [02:57] netbooker: it's a button with a house on it.. it was for the "Media-center" of my dell [02:57] if a program is GPL licensed, why do they still write Copyright to John Dow? [02:58] ok ... they seem to be owned by root instead of the user account [02:58] maybe only on my xps [02:58] harry97: ie. chmod 600 ~/.Xauthority [02:58] I just have a diamond-shaped icon with gears that says "skulltag" and I have no idea what to do with it, because it's obvious to me now that CLICKING is essentially useless in Ubuntu. [02:58] thanks bastid_raZor [02:58] vede: have you tried reading http://skulltag.com/wiki/Manual_Install_for_Debian [02:58] k [02:58] Yes, I've tried freaking reading. [02:58] harry97: sudo chown youruser:youruser ~/.Xauthority [02:58] Been trying to get it to work for a whole hour now. [02:58] NOTHING WORKS AT ALL [02:58] cool ill try that [02:58] makes sense [02:58] Jan500: Guess that is a difference between models, Mine has no button iwth a house on it. [02:58] harry97: (obviously youruser is the actual name of your user, ahem) [02:59] vede cool down, what problem do you have? [02:59] n8tuser: he can't install skulltag [02:59] My problem, I guess, is that this OS is completely useless who doesn't already have a few years of experience. [02:59] lol [02:59] thanks [02:59] GUEST [02:59] admin [02:59] what is skulltag by the way? [03:00] Doom port. [03:00] vede: it took me 3 months to get a decent grip on learning Ubuntu. any new OS has a learning curve. [03:00] With MP and such. [03:00] I did "RandRRotation" in my xorg and change the screen to inverted using `xrandr -o inverted' and then i can't interact with my tablet when in "inverted" -- tablet mode what should i do? i am using jaunty, i can move mouse and cursor but i can't click on anything [03:00] looked at the site and looks like a doom port that gives it better networking and stuff [03:00] So, I guess I should just DEAL with the random crap that's gonna cause my whole computer to become a brick, then? [03:00] First day, and video drivers turn my computer into random chunks of plastic. [03:01] vede: if you had installed the driver the recommended way that would not of happened. [03:02] vede: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ <-- is your best friend. [03:02] vede: I take it you have an ATI card? [03:02] How would I have freaking known that was the recommended way? [03:02] I know nvidia has drivers for every OS. [03:02] The obvious choice is to go there and get them. [03:04] vede: you're thinking like a windows user.. Ubuntu has 99% of everything needed in the repo's or built in. hardly ever have to go outside the repo's for things. [03:04] vede, you're kidding me right? all this ranting because of a doom clone? [03:04] With nvidia cards, all you really have to do on a fresh install is click the icon the pops up that says something along the lines of "Proprietary drivers are available for this computer, click to install" [03:04] the frustration is understandable, yet inevitable when switching to new OS. [03:04] All this ranting because I doubt this is the only thing this will happen on. [03:05] It's already happened with Java. [03:05] prince_jammys well said [03:05] So I figure every single thing I might ever want to do on Ubuntu will take an hour of coaxing or persuasion to get it to at least half-way run. [03:05] vede: look at the link i gave you. there are tons of things that will fix/tweak/help you break things in there. [03:05] It takes some getting used to, but part of the incredible security that comes with Linux is the fact that everything is installed through the repositories rather than scouring the internet for the files that you need [03:06] not to mention the stablility [03:06] er, I think you are reaching to consider repos a security advantage [03:06] vede: no, you're exaggerating because you're pissed. often enough you'll be surprised at how easy installing some things will be. [03:06] HELP FAST! i just zoomed my whole screen... and my mouse is following the screen... my resolution isnt messed up or anything.. but its imitating a HUGE screen [03:06] AAAND of course. [03:07] O-o [03:07] The very first instruction in the tutorial for installing on Debian-based operating systems. [03:07] Doesn't work. [03:07] hello, can i use the Live Desktop CD in my netbook as installer? [03:07] i happened after i pressed Super + R... and Super +R wont bring it back [03:07] i understand the frustration but some people have problems that are not down to a clone of a game that's like 10 years old [03:07] E: Type '-e' is not known on line 54 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list [03:07] E: The list of sources could not be read. [03:07] aqlx86-> yes [03:07] aqlx86: yes, assuming you have a CD drive in the netbook [03:08] vede: there's a malformed line in that file. [03:08] how do you download stuff from a cd to your computer? [03:08] vede: pastebin your /etc/sources.list [03:08] vede: show us line 54 of /etc/apt/sources.list [03:08] RichiV do you start the scree-loupe? :D [03:08] I have no idea what that is. [03:08] no i dont have a cd drive im planning to write it on a flash drive Hawaiian_Eskimo [03:08] em33: copy/paste [03:08] em33 easy as using the command cp [03:08] anyone know of any good software for creating cd disc labels? [03:08] vede: what prince_jammys said.. /etc/apt/sources.list [03:08] Jan500: Not sure... alhtough how do i disable it if its the problem [03:08] aqlx86: ah, that should work too [03:09] vede: it's the file used by APT to retrieve stuff from repositories. [03:09] thanks.. Hawaiian_Eskimo [03:09] i think its one of the compiz screen zoom plugins [03:09] vede: soemthing easier to use.. pastebinit.. do this.. sudo apt-get install pastebinit && pastebinit /etc/apt/sources.list ..then give us the link [03:09] How do i disable it [03:09] i'm not sure, i've never tried it [03:09] rawr or how do i soom back out? [03:09] zoom* [03:10] Line 54 of sources.list [03:10] -e [03:10] vede: cat -n /etc/apt/sources.list (will show it with line numbers. paste line 54 here) [03:10] bastid_raZor: that wont work he has an error in sources.list it wont complete the first command of installing pastebinit [03:10] RichiV: i'm seeing in ccsm to use the superkey and button5 of the mouse.. [03:10] ughh thnx anyway guys im just gonna restart system [03:10] RichiV: ok, here is what you do [03:10] RichiV: wait [03:10] RichiV: Super-+ ? [03:10] IdleOne: ah. i see. [03:11] That was line 54. [03:11] ok im osrry thenx [03:11] RichiV: win+e then select a desktop, then press entr [03:11] The contents of line 54 is -e [03:11] hello. someone use debpartial-mirror in 9.04? [03:11] vede thats an error, erase that line, it doesnt belong there [03:11] vede: oh. ok. that's bad. gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list and delete that line. [03:11] vede: that'll open a text editor with the file. delete the line and save it. [03:12] OMG thnx alot guys... this really helped [03:12] I can't save it. [03:12] vede: make a backup if you're paranoid. [03:12] thank you all love to u! [03:12] This is freaking stupid. [03:12] I don't have permission to do crap on my computer. [03:12] bah. [03:12] gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list [03:12] vede: if you need ermissions you have to put sudo in front of the command [03:13] Why is there even a GUI here? [03:13] stop that. [03:13] You can't do anything with it but look at pretties. [03:13] just install windows 7, vede. will solve all your problems [03:14] lol [03:14] so...my media buttons on my microsoft keyboard work find in Ubuntu...but don't do anything in Windows 7 [03:15] vede: what's the problem? [03:15] a good ftp client please?? [03:15] bjk, heh. microsoft keyboard? that's kinda funny actually [03:15] filezilla [03:15] job: gftp [03:15] filezilla [03:15] job, ncftp for the terminal [03:15] filezilla +3 [03:15] can somebody have a look at my error log for ati driver installation please? http://pastebin.com/d4907f480 [03:15] i'll say it again for the record: filezilla [03:16] hi all, i got an issue with vlc in ubuntu, im trying to play a dvd and on one dvd when i try to open the dvd vlc just quits on another dvd it gives me an input error can anyone help me? [03:16] i will try filezilla i am reading that gftp is not that good. thanks fellas [03:16] by the way is filezilla in the repo? [03:16] should be [03:16] i have a mobile broadband how can connect to the internet in terminal only.. i mess up my desktop i dont have access to any applets [03:17] coilette: what does the readme say? it tells you to go there. i'm assuming that the error is common and it has a workaround [03:17] i dont see any readme in the location the CLI error told me to look [03:18] anybody know about TABLETS? [03:18] GhostWolfy: by default VLC doesn't handle encrypted (read normal packaged) dvds [03:19] Decepticon, it used to i know i did something before and was able to play dvd's on it [03:19] the konsole says "there were errors during installation. details can be found in /usr/share/ati/fglrx-install.log [03:19] i have a mobile broadband how can connect to the internet in terminal only.. i mess up my desktop i dont have access to any applets [03:19] GhostWolfy: medibuntu repository for libdvdcss2 perhaps? [03:19] Declination, well i have ubuntu 9.04 how do i install that?? [03:20] !medibuntu | GhostWolfy [03:20] GhostWolfy: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [03:20] GhostWolfy: follow the directions there for adding the medibuntu repositories. [03:21] how do i change my wallpaper [03:21] nevermind i found it [03:21] eboyjr: in 9.04 you can ... right click [03:21] bastid_raZor aticonfig returns no supported adapters detected? [03:21] coilette: what card do you have? [03:22] hey folks there a bugs... it make the --> _ [] X bar disappears... any solution to this? [03:22] ATI radeon xpress 200M [03:22] in English, please. [03:22] captaincrook: do you have compiz installed? [03:22] and i got the driver here: http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/linux/Pages/radeon_linux.aspx?type=2.4.1&product=2.4.1.3.36&lang=English [03:22] Jan500: no.. [03:23] oh, I get it, the window title bar. [03:23] prince_jammys: right... [03:23] coilette: from what i'm seeing the radeon driver works fine with that card. [03:24] captaincrook: every program does this? are you on gnome? [03:24] prince_jammys: well firefox does it... some don't ... [03:24] i just put the .run in a command and it went through untill it said it had errors [03:24] captaincrook: for the moment, try: ALT+F2 and type: metacity --replace [03:24] i had the same problem but with kde + compiz [03:24] yes, this typically happens with compiz [03:25] hello folks, anybody got a minute to answer a question about system restore [03:25] at the end of the installation it said for further fonfiguration use 'aticonfig' and it returned no adapters detected [03:25] trev_js: just ask [03:25] prince_jammys: yeah the problem is it's not installed i'm using fluxbox ... [03:25] coilette: did it tell you to have X stopped before running the .run file? [03:26] mainly, how long is it supposed to take? [03:26] no [03:26] captaincrook: curious. i use fluxbox too, but have never encountered that. [03:27] captaincrook: so other gtk apps do it to, like maybe the old vlc, inkscape, etc. [03:27] i did the installation by command line, if it matters [03:27] coilette: look at this :: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI possibly it will help. [03:27] help, I'v been losing text on source list. how to get back? please give me link that contain text on source list. I'm using ubuntu 8.04 [03:27] prince_jammys: got it with gnome solved it with metacity --replace it worked for a while then it comes back... vlc is allright... seem to be only firefox... [03:28] captaincrook: how about the gimp? [03:28] or 'gimp' or whatever [03:28] Anyone have a good screen tutorial? [03:28] trev_js: what kind of restore? or ...with what program? it depends on your data size :S [03:28] kevdog: see if there's one at #screen [03:29] Okay, just upgraded to 9.04 with a Nvidia 8600GT graphics card (single). Can anybody help me reliably set up the drivers for it so I can enable effects? Last time I tried in 8.04 I had to restore the GRUB entirely. [03:29] the restore option in grub [03:29] kevdog: alternatively, googling 'GNU screen tutorial' should do it. [03:29] prince_jammys: seem to be only firefox ... gonna try shiretoko ... [03:29] Okay, I think I might be getting mildly close to something actually working... [03:29] So... [03:30] I have a folder in my home directory called Skulltag, inside of which is a file called Skulltag. [03:30] help, I'v been losing text on source list. how to get back? please give me link that contain text on source list. I'm using ubuntu 8.04 [03:30] anygood x programs I can run over my tunneled ssh -X session to my windows box running cygwin except xterm,xeyes,xload,xclock? [03:30] I try to ./skulltag, but the terminal says that the file or directory doesn't exist. [03:31] shiretoko is allright... maybe if i update firefox [03:31] I know I'm in the correct directory, since I made sure by doing dir. [03:31] vede: it is case sensitive [03:31] Okay, just upgraded to 9.04 with a Nvidia 8600GT graphics card (single). Can anybody help me reliably set up the drivers for it so I can enable effects? Last time I tried in 8.04 I had to restore the GRUB entirely. [03:31] I'm using correct capitalisation. [03:31] vede: pleased to see you have made progress. i thought it was either that, or you had smashed the computer. [03:31] I had networking working between a ubuntu computer and a windows computer, then I installed samba and my ubuntu computer disappeared without a trace from the network. What did I do wrong? === kwrt is now known as krwt [03:32] can someone help me out with removing ubuntu off my desktop? [03:32] navatwo: what DE do you have instead of ubuntu? kubuntu xubuntu? [03:32] I'm sorry, DE? [03:32] So, any ideas? [03:32] vede: you've tried ./Skulltag ? if you get permission denied, you can make the file executable with chmod +x Skulltag (or whatever the name of the file is) [03:33] i think he was talking about going back over *there* [03:33] And I'm running ubuntu bastid_raZor if thats what you mean [03:33] I have permission, and if I don't, I know how to get it, but that's not the problem. [03:33] It says it doesn't even exist, and the file is all lowercase. [03:33] navatwo: desktop enviroment.. you want to get rid of ubuntu all together as in the OS? [03:33] diej_: samba runs? [03:34] navatwo: what do you want to be running instead? [03:34] Jan500: what? [03:34] diej_: what says testparm [03:34] bastid_raZor: yes, my father wants it completely removed [03:34] Okay, just upgraded to 9.04 with a Nvidia 8600GT graphics card (single). Can anybody help me reliably set up the drivers for it so I can enable effects? Last time I tried in 8.04 I had to restore the GRUB entirely. [03:34] its on an external hard-drive, with XP on the internal HD [03:34] Deepwaters: just install 180.15 [03:34] Jan500: in terminal? [03:34] navatwo: you're going to have to restore the MBR on the main hard drive [03:34] yes [03:34] MBR == Main Boot Record? [03:35] navatwo: you would need to fixmbr on the xp install and format the external drive.. wipe the partition [03:35] master [03:35] navatwo: then you can just wipe the external hdd and move on [03:35] when I boot up [03:35] navatwo: yes [03:35] eh close enough :) [03:35] navatwo, then enable the restricted in the GUI? Or are there other steps to take? [03:35] dd if of [03:35] Deepwaters: you need to install the nvidia-settings [03:35] sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings? [03:36] (Also, I've found that gray-on-black terminal is much more comfortable...) [03:36] Deepwaters: go into synaptic and look up nvidia drivers [03:36] install 180.15 [03:36] Deepwaters: hardware drivers should provide a driver for that card. [03:36] vede: tranparent terminal with white letter on black background is the way to go. [03:36] anyway to issue a command that updates and ugrades packages as well as install a list of other packages? [03:36] bastid_raZor: is there a way to update the MBR w/o the XP CD? [03:36] navatwo: try looking at this http://www.techspot.com/vb/all/windows/t-38428-How-Do-I-Uninstall-Ubuntu-Linux-From-WinXP-Dual-Boot-Machine.html [03:36] Anybody ever used grub to restore their system? [03:37] Jan500: http://pastebin.org/15272 [03:37] Is it possible that Ubuntu is hiding the file extension from me? [03:37] vede: ls -Q will give you all the file names in quotes. Verify that there's nothing weird in that file name. [03:37] gartral: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get install packages [03:37] Nope, it's just "skulltag" [03:37] gartral: or you could script the first two commands. [03:37] No extensions or capitals. [03:38] bastid_raZor: that's three seperate commands, chained together with ampersands >.> [03:38] vede: ok. what is the output of: file skulltag (literally that command) [03:38] vede: chmod +X skullltag [03:38] navatwo, you could just boot in winxp and then do "fdisk /mbr" (fdisk /? first. i'm not 100% sure of windows fdisk syntax). and if you format the external drive from windows it might not see it since it's ext3 formatted (right?). so you'll have to open up administrative tools in the control panel and find disk management. it should be visible from that program [03:38] gartral: you would have to script it any other way. [03:38] Good evening everyone. [03:38] diej_: can ypu paste also your smb.conf [03:38] *o [03:39] !hello | Ubee [03:39] Ubee: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [03:39] if you have an extra DOS boot disk laying around, you can also try booting from that and using fdisk /mbr [03:39] Jan500: where is it located? [03:39] skulltag: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.8, stripped [03:39] /etc/samba [03:39] gartral: or add an alias for the first two commands.. [03:39] And I already did chmod +x to it. [03:39] diej_: do you insatll it with apt-get? [03:39] bastid_raZor: i already did that [03:39] vede: then you're rightly baffled. [03:39] gartral: I am trying to find good 3d games for ubuntu that can install easily, do not take up much space and are similar to Savage 2. [03:39] Jan500: synaptic [03:40] ok [03:40] Ugh. [03:40] navatwo: not that i know of. maybe google for it in safe mode [03:40] bastid_raZor: what did I ask? Sorry, its kinda late.

[04:59] alfredofreak: yes it is [04:59] Coilette-TS: ok run this and see if you get errors sudo aticonfig --force --initial [04:59] I was wondering if there is a way to have multiple mounted devices show up in one directory [04:59] ctmjr same [04:59] well then, my network manager panel vanished. is this a well known bug in ubuntu or what? [04:59] alfredofreak: I don't know how to get it to start up, but you can always run nm-applet [05:00] Nitrodist-> mount points are directories, you can mount one on top of the other, the one below you will not see [05:00] can't run it; says its already up [05:00] ctmjr Re: Can't install Ati driver on jaunty.. There's no working fglrx driver for Jaunty yet. how do i get the original driver back? [05:00] Jan500: anymore thoughts? [05:00] n8tuser: ? [05:00] elaborate, please [05:00] Nitrodist: Meaning if device A has a folder "foo" and device B has a folder "bar", having a folder "moo" with contents moo/bar and moo/foo? No. [05:00] i just installed the kde desktop ontop of my already installed ubuntu 9.04. In KDE however, my mouse and keyboard freeze shortly after logging in. Does anyone know what might be causing this when there is not an issue in Gnome? [05:00] can some1 pls point me to where i can get guide to dual boot ubuntu and snow leopard 10.6 [05:01] ATI does not yet have a driver for the new version of Xorg. [05:01] tonyyarusso, not so much looking for multiple folders overlapping [05:01] not an issue [05:02] for acer netbooks, does it use shard video memory or does it have it's own video memory? [05:02] Nitrodist: If you mounted A, you would have moo/foo. Once you mounted B, you would have moo/bar, but moo/foo would have disappeared. If you then unmounted B, moo/foo would reappear. [05:02] centinul1: hm atm no.. maybe he recognized it as samba-group and not as the correct group of this user... [05:02] Jan500: I [05:02] what I'm trying to say is [05:02] Jan500: I've done everything as instructed and it's still not working [05:02] can i use curl to request a url and read the http status code response? [05:03] Jan500: Not sure what you mean, but the samba log picks up the correct group... But like I said it's almost as if it's ignoring file permissions altogether [05:03] can you write to it wehn you set it to guest ok = yes? [05:03] Nitrodist: but tonyyarusso's explanation goes the same for files foo1 and foo2 on dev1 and file bar1 and bar2 on dev2, you cannot mount dev1 and dev2 on the same mount point to get /mountpoint/foo1,foo2,bar1,bar2 [05:03] racarter: I'm pretty sure yes, but beats me as to how. [05:03] let's say that the mounted device 'a' has one folder called 'foo' and the mounted device 'b' has another folder called 'bar' -- is it possible to mount both 'a' and 'b' into 'c' so that c would have folders 'foo' and 'bar' in them [05:03] Coilette-TS: try this to get back to original driver sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [05:03] ok got it === jaz is now known as Guest26072 [05:04] what's the issue with mounting like that? [05:04] write permissiosn? [05:04] Nitrodist: You can however use a symlink to achieve a similar end result. [05:04] there is a ; in front of "guest ok = yes". should I remove it? [05:04] I don't need write permissions, just a listing [05:04] Jan500: there is a ; in front of "guest ok = yes". should I remove it? [05:04] Nitrodist: No, it's an issue with the fundamental concept of how mounts work - they just can't have two things in the same place at once. [05:05] ok, so what's this about symlink? [05:05] diej_: :S i mean centinul1 with guest ok ;) [05:05] dual boot jaunty with snow leopard help please [05:05] Bye === starcraft is now known as starcraftman [05:05] diej_: you can do it also if you want to allow users to connect to your share without passwort [05:05] d [05:06] Jan500: I may have to do that eventually but this is really bugging me [05:06] please... i need install this driver: [05:06] 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: VIA Technologies, Inc.

For instance, you could mount A and B as /media/A and /media/B, with contents /media/A/foo and /media/B/bar, then create a folder /home/Nitrodist/mounts and put links in it called /home/Nitrodist/mounts/foo and /home/Nitrodist/mounts/bar pointing to /media/A/foo and /media/B/bar respectively.

Someone is using my ip to sign people up for spam!!? [06:24] <^mNotIntelligent> SnakDoc, speed and low consumption of memory are the things people look for [06:24] <^mNotIntelligent> smogattack, be more specific [06:24] ^mNotIntelligent: again, *where* on Launchpad would this be appropriate?

I guess yes [06:27] ^mNotIntelligent, I have no idea! I don't know what to do now. [06:27] ^mNotIntelligent would sudo apt-get install xfce4 give me enough to boot that session ?

[06:30] ^mNotIntelligent, is someone like snooping on my connection and then using my ip to sign people up for newsletters? [06:30] <^mNotIntelligent> smogattack, quite possible [06:30] thanks Flannel for the command [06:30] ^mNotIntelligent, how is that even possible though? [06:30] <^mNotIntelligent> smogattack, but people wont do that unless someone specifically targets your IP [06:31] ^mNotIntelligent, you mean the other person sets their ip the same as mine or something? [06:31] <^mNotIntelligent> smogattack, they can spoof your ip, right? [06:31] <^mNotIntelligent> smogattack, answer this: does your ip remain same everytimne to connect to net? [06:32] ^mNotIntelligent, so anyone who can snoop on my connection can do that to me? [06:32] how can i set up the epson stylus nx515 ? [06:32] ^mNotIntelligent, I believe so. I usually check my IP on whatismyip and it's always the same [06:32] ^mNotIntelligent, seems intelligent :D [06:32] does anybody know how to set up a network using a pc with w7 and a netbook using ubuntu jaunty????

[06:34] ^mNotIntelligent, you set your nice that you are intelligent so I just figure out you are answering every one so you are intelligent :D [06:35] <^mNotIntelligent> smogattack, thats the first step, and ask if possibly you can have dynamic ip [06:35] <^mNotIntelligent> rojoloco47, thats funny buddy , RTFLOL :-) [06:35] ^mNotIntelligent, and I should shut off my router as well? [06:36] <^mNotIntelligent> smogattack, you dont need to do that,,,but make sure you communicate this prob to your ISP at the earliest [06:37] can some one plz tell me what "cannot write to /var/cache/man/cat7/atl1e.7.gz in catman mode atl1e." means and how to fix it?

[07:16] jouva: there are a few different drivers, one of them will work with your card [07:16] Well right now would it be easier for me to do some sort of apt-get install ? [07:16] yassin_: so whats the issue? [07:17] jouva: well, if you install the wrong one, it won't work. by using the GUI installer, it can figure it out for you. [07:17] having a very annoying problem with new windows/dialogs not taking focus. especially apps "docked" in the notification area like pidgin, xchat, etc [07:17] Ok [07:17] in fedora i cant connect the server via xchat [07:17] Fucking piece of crap distro. You upgrade, it removes your sound.

[08:23] Gnea, of course there is [08:24] zachk18: the apache notices are normal, you'll just have to configure apache to not say that anymore, pretty standard [08:24] Deepwaters, if it says to do that, I havent used it recently and right now I'm using a command line only system usign IRSSI to do IRC chat. That sounds right, though. [08:24] gribouille: well then. [08:24] then isntall the appropriate driver [08:24] Gnea, what ? [08:24] Either way, those proprietary video drivers did the trick, and now I can even use compiz fuzion settings and use the 3D desktop cube [08:24] ok... [08:24] und3rgr0undz3r0: and these are the "restricted" drivers, right? that will enable full environment effects and whatnot? [08:25] gribouille: df and du get their reports from different places on the system - du is more realtime while df is relative [08:25] Now all I gotta do is figure out why these CD drives that are plugged into this one IDE port on my motherboard won't get recognized.

[08:56] say audacity with a video time line [08:57] medoctron don't have xubuntu downloaded just seen images [08:57] saravanan: it's a bit tricky on some of them... audacity and avidemux go great together, but you have to get used to the way avidemux works [08:57] iwobbles the 0.0.0.0 means you have no ip at all [08:58] SnakDoc why not download it and run it as live cd and copy all config files ;) [08:58] mm buckets of bandwidth apparently lol,, ta SnakDoc its all good === Nicky is now known as Guest34342 [08:58] medoctron may have to later i see what happens [08:58] ;) [08:59] Gnea: cool. this day for avidemux:) thanks .. will join after lunch.. see ya [08:59] iwobbles what you trying to do ? [08:59] Im just monitoring the network is all SnakDoc eh [09:00] not doing anything much SnakDoc eh, just I build large gigabit IP routers for a job and these IPs look weirid to me that Im seeing in EtherApe eh [09:01] Hello. I need to install VirtualBox Guest Additions on an Ubuntu server. I installed virtualbox-ose-guest-source, which pulled in dkms. What do I need to do now? Do I have to get whole kernel sources and unpack them, or there is another way? [09:01] iwobbles sounds more like traffic being routed [09:02] whats the best IMmensanger for linux [09:02] and Im suprised to see so many protocols in use, like 30 different protocols eh, from TCP to ICMP etc ,, amzing how the WWW has grown eh SnakDoc [09:02] iwobbles lol yea there are tons of them [09:02] I need a nvidia drivers expert. [09:02] is there a problem if i disable uwf? [09:03] a-v: i thouight dkms would rebuild/load the kernel modules as needed on bootup. At least i think thats what its job is [09:03] yassin__ sudo ufw disable [09:03] what will happen if i do this action [09:04] ? [09:04] Dr_Willis, I tried to run it manually and it bailed out because of lack of kernel sources. I don't think it will change on reboot. The question is, do I have to unpack the sources manually? Given that this is Ubuntu, I'd assume there is some "proper automatic" way to do it. [09:04] a-v: the kernel source stuff is in some package.. why do you think you need to do it manually? [09:04] yassin__ firewall will be disabled [09:05] yassin__ any reason you wish to disable it ? [09:05] yes [09:05] Dr_Willis, because that package only contains a tarball, it doesn't unpack it. [09:05] yassin__: I doubt it will cause you any issues, especially if you have some sort of router/firewall between your modem and your computer. [09:05] snakdoc ,configurartion of ssh [09:05] How do I acces my Windows Files from Ubuntu? [09:05] a-v: i though the add-on for virtual box was an iso?

[09:06] it should be located, where it is installed [09:06] geekphreak, manual install is evil, I want to use the Ubuntu package. [09:06] yassin__ just allow ssh [09:06] Dr_Willis, linux-sources.

[09:14] wizzo50, it does? [09:14] Hmm [09:14] Dr_Willis: though my more pressing concern right now is that xserver will not run at all [09:14] That's strange [09:14] lol facebook it is slow [09:14] I believe it [09:14] lol [09:14] What is facebook ?

[09:18] i couldnt install it in windows...probably unavailable dvrs [09:18] how can i have my ubuntu box's network connections be enabled upon boot, rather than on user-login? [09:18] cos i can never get my effects to enable, so im gonna try one last complete removal/install then if it doesnt work, get rid of it all together, will that effect anything else? [09:18] nathan7: cos i didnt know which ones would work in windows [09:18] cyber_666_uk: no. [09:18] cyber_666_uk, which video card?

[09:19] cyber_666_uk, ok you need to talk with soreau in #compiz about the possibility of using that card with compiz [09:19] phux, be more specific please [09:19] nathan7: first of all how do i know what drivers are required for it to run/ [09:19] cyber_666_uk, although that sounds like an older card [09:19] anyone know much about opengl and 82945G/GZ Integrated Graphics Controller? [09:19] stram, configure /etc/network/interfaces then disable NM. [09:20] Hey all, has anyone got 2.6.31-rc8 working on the Aspire One ZG5? [09:20] hi, I need some help with a ubuntu jaunty install that won't boot after a reboot, I've made no updates or changes since the last time I successfully booted/rebooted. The system hangs with a flashing cursor right after the grub notice comes up, when I escape and try to use recovery mode, I get notices about no filesystem, and what looks suspect is a line that says something along the lines of error mounting /disk/by-uuid [09:20] durt: yeah, i was thinking that. kind of a pain with wireless networks though [09:20] yeah i dont think it will work very well, but it should stil switch on the effects - choppy or not [09:20] LogicFan, Yea, I want to rss download tvshows to my server and stream em to my laptop 5km away [09:21] hi [09:21] hi [09:21] im having trouble installing agave 0.4.4 [09:21] well, there are many ways to do that. "stream" means what exactly? you could network both machines together and play the file off a shared drive [09:21] if you have the bandwidth [09:21] ive got 0.4.3 and want to upgrade [09:21] The server got the bandwich [09:22] 100/100, but the client just got a dsl on 10 or smth [09:22] Its totally enough but I want to use some kind of webinterface [09:22] i mean the bandwidth between the server and laptop [09:22] where I can control the avi's [09:22] well, you don't need a web interface [09:22] I know :P I can just stream it with a ftp but I want too ^ [09:22] if you have a shared drive, you just play the file from that drive on the local machine [09:23] Can anyone tell me how to debug a boot failure? [09:23] i have used ssh X tunnel + vlc [09:23] anyone have knowledge with OpenGL? [09:23] phux, you can't stream via ftp [09:23] ftp is for file transfers [09:23] I get to "Starting hardware drivers" before it freezes, and then gives me a "could not start the X server" when I press CTRL+ALT+DEL [09:23] Yea, files transfer. [09:23] vlc because its easier to setup stream with it than mplayer cmdline [09:23] actually the error is mount: mounting /dev/disk/by-uuid/(theuuid) on /root failed: invalid argument [09:24] a avi is a file and I can just transfer it while watching it [09:24] phux, or you could just play it off the shared drive it is stored on [09:24] chroot_users is for the local users log in and user_list is for the public,internet users? [09:24] Madison-: for some reason root fs isnt working, uuid is changed or is hd isnt detected [09:25] basically i need help compiling the tar.gz package === br34l_ is now known as br34l [09:25] simplexio: if i ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid both partitions on the disk are there (sda1 and sda5) [09:25] How do I share the drive in a proper way ? [09:25] abcminiuser: try to hit ctrl+alt+F1 to get consol login and fix problem [09:25] how can i make a cron script execute with a different current working directory? [09:25] phux, what OS are both machines running? [09:25] when i try to configure it i can the error gtkmm-2.4 not found [09:25] simplexio, can't - does it store a log somewhere of what driver is failing? [09:26] Its a freebsd server and a arch client [09:26] simplexio: there is also a message about group descriptors being corrupted, but fsck isn't available from the recovery mode [09:26] is there a simple way to check if a port ramge is actually open on my box? [09:26] Going to rescue terminal gives me a blank screen, no login [09:26] Madison-: ah.. and that mount oint is /root not / , in that case you have an invalid option. try mount /dev/disk/by-uuid/??? /root/ [09:26] Is there a package that I can provide a PDF to that will read it to me using text to speech? === r0bby_ is now known as r0bby [09:27] Madison-: what fs ? [09:27] simplexio: ext3? [09:27] Is there any way I can upgrade form 8.04 to 9.10 online without going to 8.10 [09:28] Madison-: so no fsck.ext3 ? then you need to use livecd [09:28] when 9.1 coming out [09:28] ? [09:28] jumbers: the program pdftotext converts a pdf to a text file, if that's useful to you. [09:28] why would apt-get install libgtkmm-2.4-dev. not work? [09:28] phux, you could just use NFS, but i am not that familiar with FreeBSD or Arch and their packages, sorry. [09:29] prince_jammys: That could be useful. Thanks [09:29] btw.. does anyknow howto add xfs_repair + other program to "busybox" (i think its something to with initrd ) i had problem that xfs got broken and i didnt have tools to repait it when server didnt boot [09:29] LogicFan, thx anyway :) [09:29] nm [09:29] jumbers: you may have it installed already. i do, but i don't recall if i installed it myself. [09:30] simplexio: i tried mounting, it gives a few errors, ext3-fs error ext3_check_descriptors: block bitmap for group 768 not in group, ext3-fs group descriptors corrupted, ext4-fs warning: ext4_fill_super: extents feature not enabled on this filesystem, use tune2fs, ext4-fs: ext4_check_descriptors, ext4-fs group descriptors corrupted, and ext2-fs sda1: couldn't mount because of unsupported optional features (4) [09:30] (and then says invalid argument again) [09:30] I do have the CD I installed from, reboot with that and "try ubuntu without installing"? I assume that's the same live cd [09:31] <[domon]> hi guys, i've setup an sshkey pair between my computer and my server...i'm able to successfully authenticate to my server with the ssh key for one user, but not for a second. my ssh pub key is in the /home//.ssh dir for both users, but only works with one (it prompts for a password with the other). any ideas on how to fix this? [09:31] Madison-: no idea howto fix it, if fsck dosent help [09:31] I don't get the option to run fsck from the recovery mode - so I need to boot off the cd? [09:31] how would I fsck the had if i boot from cd? (sorry, never done it before) [09:32] [domon]: Have you checked /var/log/syslog and /var/log/auth.log? [09:33] <[domon]> grawity: nope, will check now .. thanks :) [09:33] Madison-: fsck /dev/sda1 ... i think [09:33] [domon]: Also, permissions if ~/.ssh and ~/.ssh/authorized_keys [09:33] of* [09:33] booting from cd now [09:33] simplexio: thanks for helping me, by the by ;) [09:35] <[domon]> it's rw for authorized_keys and drwx for the .ssh folder (600 and 700 i believe)..anyways, they are both owned by the user i'm trying to login with (group and user are the same) === john is now known as Guest27587 [09:35] <[domon]> k, 'bad ownership or modes for dir /home/user/ === werti is now known as werti_rus [09:36] I need a nvidia drivers expert for 9.04.

[09:49] It can. [09:50] Pirate_Hunter: open ? .. well you have defined firewall rules so you can find that stuff from there. iptables -L [09:50] ahh ok heheh you mean 2g mobile transfer protocols? [09:50] Dr_Willis: The rootfs is loopmounted from there [09:50] RichiV: try mounting sda1 and sewe what happens. [09:50] Dr_Willis:wudi? whats that? [09:50] ha [09:50] nathan7: ok :) I avoide wubi as if it was the plague [09:50] 2 gig?? [09:50] RichiV: its what you used to Install Ubuntu 'inside' windows. [09:50] Dr_Willis: So the windoze partition has to be mounted [09:50] Heya [09:50] what's a 2 gig mobo? i don't get it [09:50] Wubi [09:50] my motherboard only takes 2 gigabytes of ram [09:50] simplexio: for future reference if anyone ever has the same problem and i miss it, booting to live cd and sudo fsck /dev/disk/by-uuid/(the sda1 uuid) fixed it [09:50] ahh ok [09:50] ram [09:50] hahah ok ok [09:50] miguelonnnn: Mother board that only support 2G ram [09:51] sry, in my land we call it 2Gb with trailing b xd [09:51] Dr_Willis: im confused.. i did this a while ago [09:51] Mhm [09:51] im getting a very low 60 fps on a GeForce FX 5500.

I installed ubuntu yesterday using wubi [09:51] 4:51 here [09:51] ;) [09:51] miguelonnnn: Indeed. [09:52] Madison-: am/pm? [09:52] am [09:52] am lol spent all night here haha [09:52] stealth-: my first guess would be the GeForce FX 5500 [09:52] nathan7: the ubuntu "driver finder utility" found some closed source ones for me [09:52] tonii: as in a problem with the card? [09:52] sometimes deluge stops running, is there a way to respawn it with upstart event.d scripts like people used to do with inittab? [09:52] stealth-: as in it's very old [09:52] tonii: people over at #hardware said thats not a normal framerate for my card. [09:53] what benefits do i lose by removing apparmor? [09:53] stealth-: Install them. [09:53] tallthom: Security. [09:53] Mikey^: there is no real problem... i just need to mount my windows partition or drive or something... but i need to log in as root! think!!!!! whats the command! [09:53] hey 1 quick question, there's a "Network Manager" applet which annoys me a lot, how can i kill it? i want configure my connection through iwconfig and that program **** it all [09:53] stealth-: do you have the propertiary drivers from nvidia installed? [09:53] nathan7: .......install what? I have the propertiary drivers installed already [09:53] tonii: I believe so [09:53] RichiV: you can remove it from the startup programs [09:53] go to system->Preferences->Sessions [09:53] just wondering because some of the ubuntu howto server stuff tells us to remove it [09:54] Pirate_Hunter: on default setting there are no firewall rules, so "ports" aare open if program decides to listen one [09:54] hello [09:54] s/sessions/startup applications/ [09:54] Mikey^ what am i trying to remove here? [09:54] stealth-: hmm [09:54] stealth-: Rebooted already? [09:54] tonii | nathan7: the nvidia utility tells me driver version 173 and yes i've rebooted [09:54] Once you open the startup applications, just uncheck network manager [09:54] hmmmm [09:54] it wont start next time you login [09:54] stealth-: alright, good. [09:55] if I stay at the office for 30 more minutes I get free lunch [09:55] err free breakfast [09:55] lol xd [09:55] was wondering about webcams what would I need to use one I have mine pluged in and nothing happenes [09:55] or you can even just right click on network manager and uncheck enable networking and configure it manually [09:55] simplexio: hmmm than opening a port range may not do anything special if it opens automatically when its needed? [09:55] stealth-: the card works good in windows I suppose? [09:55] L3dPlatedLinux: start cheese [09:56] install it if you dont have it [09:56] how do i use root under terminal? [09:56] RichiV: sudo [09:56] tonii: I haven't tried the card in windows [09:56] no i mean login under root [09:56] Pirate_Hunter: yep.. so basicly if didnt add any firewall rules, installed apache it should just work [09:56] RichiV: You shouldn't... but on Ubuntu, sudo -i [09:56] stealth-, you might need to add your user to the video permissions group [09:56] it keeps telling me i need to be root in order to mount [09:57] !root | RichiV [09:57] RichiV: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [09:57] stealth-, for DRI [09:57] I have a cron file, [09:57] RichiV: Use 'sudo mount' then.

[09:59] tonii: yeah, but it makes no fps difference in glxgears. Im just wondering if theres any way to get any better graphics in my game. Cause i'd hate to have been dealing with a shitty fps when I dont have to [10:00] 27958 frames in 5.0 seconds [10:00] simplexio: ok so i just punched a few whole in the firewall that weren't need hmmm after I finish this up will remove it and see what happens, if I dont need to open ports than what is the point of the firewall other than blocking ports [10:00] on my 8800gtsxxx here [10:00] do i need to disable network manager to use my own custom dns server? whenever i change the default in network manager, it reverts on next bootup [10:01] stealth-: seems odd [10:01] would adding Option "Composite" "Enable" to xorg for an nvidia 6600 (i think) make compiz effects faster/smoother? (not mine, a friends) [10:01] Hi there, i would like to know how correctly encrypt my backup partition (harddrive) using terminal [10:02] Deepwaters: Do you get any kind of error message when you try to enable desktop effects? Is direct rendering enabled? glxinfo | grep "direct rendering" [10:02] tonii: yeah :S === JonJ_ is now known as JonJ [10:03] i have http://paste.ubuntu.com/265990, how come it doesnt do the commands AFTER lftp?

There sais "connecting" but he doesn't connect ! [10:05] boobs. [10:05] Deepwaters: Is the module glx loaded in xorg.conf and is the nvidia driver present?

[10:08] how can i install freemat [10:08] Deepwaters: Hmmm [10:08] Linux: i recall a few weeks back Yahoo changes domthing that broke a lot of the unofficial clients. The fix was to use some other yahoo login server.. but thats about all i rember on the topic [10:09] its giving me dependency problems [10:09] Deepwaters: Check if the nvidia module is loaded please? lsmod | grep -i nvidia [10:09] !yahoo [10:09] At the moment there are many pidgin users experiencing problems connecting to Yahoo IM, you can try changing your paging server to cn.scs.msg.yahoo.com (port 5050) and see if that helps. [10:09] Dr_Willis, but what can I use so I can receive and give webcam ? pidgin doesn't have that. [10:09] Linux: not a clue. I dont use IM or pidgin or webcams - skype can do video i recall [10:10] hi. if i shutdown laptop using power button it asks for authentication telling the action is org.freedesktop.consolekit.system.stop-multiple-users [10:10] JonJ: nvidia 7233756 20 (break) agpgart 42696 1 nvidia [10:10] how do i re-configure it so it doesn't ask for password if i switch off computer using power button?

[10:15] !server [10:15] Ubuntu Server Edition is a release of Ubuntu designed especially for server environments, including a server-specific !kernel and no !GUI. The install CD contains many server applications. Current !LTS version is 8.04. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ServerFaq/ and https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/index.html - Use the #ubuntu-server channel for support [10:16] Deepwaters: Okey, so it can't actually load the glx module, and it suggests to reinstall the driver. You had used envy, right? [10:16] JonJ: this problem has a long history, but yes, currently I'm running Envy [10:17] can i use a full disc encrypted external hard drive to install Ubuntu onto? [10:18] its a windows only full disc encrypted password procted [10:18] RichiV: installing via wubi to an exteranal encrypted windows hard drive.. that might not work. [10:19] Dr_Willis allright. what about a fresh Ubuntu install? i do not have much data on Ubuntu [10:19] Dr_Willis, I figure it out, I had to pass "-k 2.6.28-15-generic" instead of "-k 2.6.28-15-server" [10:19] *figured [10:20] RichiV: you can always reparittion your drives and install ubuntu if you wanted.. or run ubuntu inside virtualbox if you want.. but you may no want tobe repartitionng your hard drives.. and extarnal usb drives will be slow. === dragonrigs is now known as aaron1 === aaron1 is now known as aaron11 [10:21] hi anyone using dosbox ? how do I get the screen to go full screen ? [10:23] Dr_Willis: Im thinking of restarting from the very beggining [10:23] Dr_Willis: do your think that it is a wise decision? [10:23] F**K... I just hate windows. Its such a pity im still forced to use it when I want to create SWF files and use actionscript. win crashes so often And has to be reinstalled so often. hate it. Why isnt there adobe flash for linux? [10:23] JonJ, any ideas on where to go from here? [10:24] natrixnatrix89: can't wine it? [10:24] Deepwaters: I'm working on it [10:24] JonJ, thanks mate [10:24] Havent tried it. I dont really trust wining such apps. [10:24] hey please, 1 question. does anybody here have intel atom? in system monitor i got processor 0 and processor 1, both intel atom n270 @ 160ghz, does that mean that i got dual core atoms? [10:24] Wine doesnt work for all windows applications, and although i think wine is wondurous, wine wont always provide full quality of the app [10:24] but hey. maybe its worth trying [10:24] Deepwaters: Which driver did you install for your card? [10:25] maybe wine is better than windows.. [10:25] i've read some sites that claim playing wow at higher fps than win x'D [10:25] JonJ: right now, I have no idea, what I'm seeing in Xserver is 180.44 [10:25] does CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access.log combined mean that i log the referrer too? [10:26] fortunately, the only app i need from windows is steam to play counter strike, and works like a charm in ubuntu :P [10:26] !list [10:26] This is not a file sharing channel (or network). If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » [10:26] JonJ: one issue I had was trying to download the correct driver, at one time I had both 100.14.junk AND 185.junk [10:26] created problems obviously [10:26] Deepwaters: You tried to download them manually from nvidias site? [10:26] #test [10:27] JonJ: yes [10:28] Deepwaters: Does /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so exist? [10:28] JonJ: what is the command to check for it's existence? [10:29] Deepwaters: You could just do ls /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/ | grep glx [10:30] Hmm, I've got another problem. virtualbox-ose-guest-utils tries to pull in a shitload of X packages which are useless on the server. What should I do? [10:30] JonJ: returns itself [10:30] Deepwaters: But I have to run, if I were in your shoes, I'd try to uninstall everything nvidia-related and reinstall the 180.44 driver from the ubuntu repos [10:30] http://overflow.xdccing.com/GET?bot=OvF%7CA%7CPereLachaise&pack=14 [10:30] Hi, does anyone know a program that I could use to draw fast and easily simple crossword grids with? [10:30] JonJ: not envy? [10:30] Deepwaters: No output? That means that you're missing some glx-stuff that the nvidia-driver was supposed to install [10:31] JonJ: can you give me a last pointer? [10:31] Deepwaters: Personally, I never use envy, but it seems like it's just a frontend to selecting the right driver from the repositories, so I don't see a problem with it === bambam is now known as Guest10283 [10:31] Deepwaters: [10:31] THanks JonJ [10:31] Deepwaters: Whoops, sorry. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1182507 Has some info about uninstall some posts down [10:32] Deepwaters: No problem mate, good luck, I hope you find a way to fix it [10:33] if somehow a virus gets in when i am using WUBI... then will y windows get infected? [10:33] JonJ: with my inexperience? not likely :P [10:37] Okay, so sound doesn't work for me right now (It breaks pretty consistently for me...). When I load Amarok (v 1.4), it says that 'xine was unable to initialize any audio drivers.' If I reboot, the problem will be gone (for a while). Any advice? [10:45] hi,where can I get some detail info to configure my emacs? [10:46] emacs has tons of docs online at various sites and a whole BOOK (free) on it - [10:46] i forget where i got that book at.. proberly the emacs/gnu homepage [10:48] can someone see my vsconf and tell me if everything is ok for my friends to ftp me ? here http://paste.ubuntu.com/266013/ [10:49] I recently got a USB to MIDI (or MIDI to USB because it has both MIDI in and MIDI out) device. I tested it with my Yamaha SY-22 and it works like it should but when I connect a non powered MIDI keyboard (that I can assume that get it's power from the Game port (joystick port) that many old sound cards have) the MIDI keyboard reacts like dead. do you have an idea how to power my MIDI keyboard? === oiram is now known as wira [10:51] NicEXE: what do you mean by a non-powered midi keyboard?

THEN come in here. [10:55] Dr_Willis: I mean all the comings and goings rather than the talk [10:55] kholzer: i got parts/joins/quits hidden for the most part. [10:56] Weechat is good for that. has a 'smart' filter for joinw/parts/quits [10:56] Dr_Willis: that is smart... [10:56] Dr_Willis: what do you mean by 'smart'? [10:56] * kholzer sees if Konversation has anything like that. [10:56] diej: like, it only tells you if someone you've named leaves [10:57] or someone you're pming [10:57] or someone who has named you? [10:57] diej: I can only guess [10:57] diej: if someone enters never says anything then quits.. i never see the part/hoin messages [10:57] diej: if YOU part.. it will show the part message. [10:57] is there an opensource program that is like: Vector Magic? [10:58] Daremonai: what is Vector Magic? [10:58] its smarter then that kholzer :) only 'people that have recently talked' are shown parting basically [10:58] look at it. [10:58] Dr_Willis: that's nice [10:58] Daremonai: No. [10:58] it's best described if you see it.. it's an autotracer... convers raster images to vector images [10:58] and i can hit some key combo and show all the parts/joins if i wanted.. [10:58] converts8 [10:58] * [10:58] Weechat 3.0 just released.. worth checking out. [10:58] I hope it gets put in the 9.10 repos now. [10:59] Daremonai: It is online...why not use it online?

[11:01] ZioPippo: looks like you are not using the ntfs-3g command properly.. or got fstab all messed up. [11:01] natrixnatrix89: I like XChat better on Gnome than pidgin [11:01] hey guys, i run game servers and i wanted to give someone access to the game folder but i dont want to make him a user, ftp only. whats the best way to go about this? [11:01] kholzer, yeah I'm using that, however, I want to convert a batch of files... and with inkscape I would have to go and do every single one by hand... was wondering if there's smth like a command-line tool that i would be able to use with a script to do all the things for me [11:01] ZioPippo: ive no idea what 'ntfs-3g: Failed to access volume '/dev/sdg1': Nessun file o directory' the nessum... means.. [11:02] kholzer: yes. 1 disk with 2 partitions ntfs and 1 disk with 1 partition sfs [11:02] ZioPippo: I'd load it in windows. From a cursory glance, it doesn't appear that ntfs-3g has SFS support. [11:03] kholzer: so XChat is better than weechat? [11:03] Daremonai: Tell me if you find anything. I tend not to need to to batch stuff. [11:03] natrixnatrix89: depends on your needs.. I perfer weechat to xchat [11:03] natrixnatrix89: Depends on what you want. If you want to be able to click on stuff, X-Chat is better. [11:04] natrixnatrix89: I used bitchX for a long time, which is console based. [11:04] Quassel is a rather neat IRC client in some ways [11:04] wow. weechat runs in terminal.. thats something new.. [11:04] 'irc' -> ircii -> bitchx -> irssi -> weechat. :) [11:04] natrixnatrix89: actually the idea is quite... old.. [11:05] Dr_Willis: '/dev/sdg1': Nessun file o directory' = no file or directory [11:05] kholzer, I think i will go for something liek a macro recording software and will let it do the things for me... thing is, I'm using blender to generate a bunch of png files from it's animation, then will use inkscape to vectorize those, and then convert all these vector images into an swf vid [11:05] its* [11:05] hi - how can i change a VIRTUALBox Ubuntu to a "real" ubuntu?

[16:26] slon2000: is smaba running ;) [16:26] v4vijayakumar: If a program needs memory, that cache is usually cleaned.

[16:59] ActionParsnip: look, http://picasa.google.com/macabro22/Test#5378384153621617570 [17:00] thevdi, type sudo rm / in the terminal to gain this ability [17:00] @ BigJ: What? [17:00] ActionParsnip: the icons are all restricted to that darker area at the right side [17:00] !rm [17:00] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [17:00] BigJ, try again ;-) [17:00] thevdi: ignore that [17:00] ActionParsnip: I can't move them elsewhere [17:00] dont use that command [17:00] Thanks jrib [17:00] ChrizC: you will need to set a different IP range to the PC - XBOX network to section it of and so routing works [17:00] Yeah, I already guessed. BigJ is obviously a plebdazzle [17:01] i've changed the volume label on one of my partitions but bulkid is still showing the old one. vol_id reflects the change. How should I fix this? blkid -g didn't help. Is it just a case of deleting the blkid.tab file? [17:01] yea thanks, i was thinking /= hard drive [17:01] mercutio22: your link didnt work [17:01] And it's sudo rm -rf / anyway [17:02] @ xcd: I was thinking that lo [17:02] lol [17:02] Are there any diffirences between Linux Mint and Ubuntu besides the theme? [17:02] an0n, Yes, there are [17:02] Some say that linux mint is easier to use but why? [17:02] xcdfgkjhgcv: please dont type commands like that in the channel [17:02] !mint [17:02] There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mintsupport), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), crunchbang (support in #crunchbang) [17:02] an0n: one is supported here, one isnt for starters [17:03] an0n: Mint is Ubunu++ === pronoy is now known as prawn-oi [17:03] ActionParsnip: it's still not working with a static ip [17:03] k [17:03] ActionParsnip: I will try flickr [17:03] ChrizC: did you give your PCs network card that is hooked to the XBOX got a static IP too? [17:04] thevdi: try touch -d 09/09/09 not sure if it affects creation time though but it changes date [17:04] ActionParsnip: I can't find all of these settings inside of Firestarter? [17:04] ChrizC: and ae both IPs on a different network address to the addresses on the WAN side? [17:04] ActionParsnip: Sorry. [17:04] legend2440, I tried touch -t 090906 but it wants the time as well. I'll try what you suggest, though [17:04] ChrizC: not sure, i use the interfaces file [17:05] xcdfgkjhgcv: typing possibly hugely destructive commands in the room is not advised [17:05] ActionParsnip: you're talking to a complete Linux idiot here.. I just want to get my internet connection shared.. how do I do this? [17:05] ChrizC: its not linux specific [17:05] legend2440, it changes the time to midnight (which I sort of half expected). I'll end up writing a Python script, I think, to read in the file timestamp and add / subtract multiples of 86400 seconds(!) [17:06] how do you remap a key in ubuntu [17:06] ChrizC: you need to use network manager to set the ip [17:06] ActionParsnip: I believe it is, as I did not have this much trouble sharing internet connection on Windows. [17:06] ActionParsnip: http://www.flickr.com/photos/13990310@N07/3892604945/ [17:06] ChrizC: e.g. the XBox network could be 10.0.0.x [17:06] @ ryaxnbuntu: System > Preferences > Keyboard shortcuts [17:06] ActionParsnip: I was just pointing out how BigJ didn't paste the most destructive command. [17:06] hi, I cannot load web pages with opera10 on jaunty, any ideas? [17:07] ChrizC: then the network addressing on the web access device using 192.168.0.x [17:07] ChrizC: so you have 2 distinct networks [17:07] slhsen: Yeah, use an open source browser. [17:08] afternoon all [17:08] slhsen: if you rename ~/.opera then rerun opera does it work [17:08] slhsen: Personally, I'm disgusted that you would run a proprietary web browser on an open source OS when there are excellent FOSS web browser alternatives. [17:08] no, i'm looking to remap the caps lock key to do nothing [17:08] xcdfgkjhgcv: opera rocks hard [17:08] i hate the caps lock key [17:08] opera is awesome on ubuntu [17:09] Anyone knows how to read existing messages on my Huwawi modem using the gnome-phone-manager? [17:09] ActionParsnip: I just installed it but let me try [17:09] jum if you are not gonna give suport, why do you have to tell slhsen to use a browser he may not want [17:09] alternately, if doing nothing isn't available, just be a scroll lock key or num lock or something [17:09] This is one of the reasons why I prefer Debian - there are less non-free software sellouts. [17:09] jum................................ [17:09] xcdfgkjhgcv: i'm sure you use gnash / swfdec too huh? [17:09] or a pause key [17:10] ActionParsnip: No, I don't use Flash. [17:10] basically, a key that does nothing in 90% of scenarios [17:10] ActionParsnip: I've tried that but the XBOX still refuses to connect using the static IP. [17:10] still is refused connection* [17:10] ActionParsnip: I use youtube-dl and get-iplayer. [17:10] so again, any help making the caps lock key a pause key [17:10] ChrizC: You are trying to get an Xbox 360 to read media files off an Ubuntu setup ? [17:10] Anyone here used the gnome-phone-manager before?? [17:10] ActionParsnip: I can't get a smooth playback with Flash. [17:10] xcdfgkjhgcv: thats very convoluted [17:10] thevdi: nope, trying to get an xbox 360 to use the internet connection that an Ubuntu setup is using [17:10] xcdfgkjhgcv: mind yu if its needed then i guess you gotta [17:11] ActionParsnip, he's not the only one that does that ;p [17:11] ryaxnbuntu: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/disable-and-enable-caps-lock-in-ubuntu.html [17:11] ActionParsnip: no it still doesnt work [17:11] ActionParsnip, i'm using clive ;) [17:11] ChrizC, you have some USB modem ? [17:11] thevdi: no? [17:11] ChrizC: Your ubuntu machine is connected to a router ? [17:11] Hi, I was looking through my package list and noticed that dash was installed. When I attempted to remove it I recieved a warning saying it was an essential package and should NOT be removed unless I knew exactly what I am doing. Well, afaik I don't use dash, I use bash, as does anyone else using a standardly configured gnome-terminal, so what uses dash? [17:11] ActionParsnip: It's not that convoluted, it's simple to use after a few times. I also download a load of my video with Bittorrent. :) [17:11] ryaxnbuntu-> are you familiar with keycodes ? [17:12] thevdi: Xbox is connected to pc using ethernet, pc is connected to router using ethernet, router is connected to an Orange LiveBox using ethernet.. [17:12] * nit is away: Gone away for now === prawn-oi is now known as porn-oi === ring1 is now known as ring0 [17:12] ChrizC, so you want to define an interface and pass the Xbox through? [17:12] ChrizC: did yuo specify the gateway as the ip of the network card it is connected to? [17:12] ActionParsnip: Although I admit to using the Nvidia proprietary driver because there aren't any open source alternatives. If I bought this PC recently, I'd have gone with ATI. [17:13] ChrizC: are you using a crossover cable? [17:13] thevdi: I just want to share internet [17:13] ActionParsnip: nope. two seperate cards [17:13] ActionParsnip: I bought a laptop recently and I got Intel graphics. :) [17:13] xcdfgkjhgcv: nvidia all the way here, support is excellent [17:13] ActionParsnip: But it's non-free! [17:13] NO [17:13] xcdfgkjhgcv: it works, who cares [17:13] er, no [17:13] ActionParsnip: Intel is best, but I play games on my PC. [17:13] damn caps lock keY [17:13] ChrizC, have you looked at how Clark connect etc is set up ? [17:13] typing xmodmap -e “clear Lock” [17:13] ActionParsnip: That's a piss poor attitude. [17:13] hi all [17:13] did not help [17:14] thevdi: I am an Ubuntu noob, so that would be a no :) [17:14] ActionParsnip, but it conforms with the GPL v3 license [17:14] xcdfgkjhgcv: i work with computers as a job, if i can have an easy life with excellently supported hardware, I'm there [17:14] can it be because of ipv6 [17:14] the freedom to change software to suit your needs [17:14] ryaxnbuntu-> are you familiar with keycodes ? [17:14] ChrizC, I don't know how you connection share but I'd imagine that you have to set up the cards as in a firewall station (e.g. like how Clark connect is set up) with two interfaces via the two network cards and some kind of passthrough [17:14] ActionParsnip: By sacrificing your freedoms? [17:14] Hello there, I am wondering how to find a connected external USB HDD in SSH. I have X disabled. [17:14] xcdfgkjhgcv: thats why i use linux, i dont game much and like a nice simple life [17:15] ActionParsnip: I game on Linux. [17:15] xcdfgkjhgcv: i dont see any freedoms lost. Id still use my system exactly the same [17:15] Although mostly with proprietary games through Wine. :( [17:15] !ics | ChrizC [17:15] ChrizC: If you want to share the internet connection of your ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetConnectionSharing - You may also use !firestarter: http://www.fs-security.com/docs/connection-sharing.php [17:15] thevdi: um? I re-iterate, I'm a moron when it comes to Ubuntu [17:15] xcdfgkjhgcv: i have a life. i go out to gigs and museums rather than wasting my life on games [17:15] musikgoat: tried and failed miserably :) [17:15] hey guys... Plz, i need an active 7.04 ubuntu mirror [17:15] ActionParsnip: I went out and got wasted last night. [17:15] ChrizC, presumably you have followed the link the ubottu gave ? [17:16] Anyone able to help with a hardware issue? [17:16] thevdi: correct. tried and failed miserably [17:16] ActionParsnip: And I was chased by horses and fell asleep with my best childhood friend. [17:16] n8tuser: no not familiar [17:16] xcdfgkjhgcv: nice one :D [17:16] ActionParsnip: I didn't play any video games yesterday but I made friends with my neighbour. [17:16] how can I know the memory swap?? [17:16] i tried xmodmap -e “clear Lock” but did not work [17:16] ChrizC, sounds like what usually happens when I follow one of those "simple guides" ;-) [17:16] ryaxnbuntu-> well try this xmodmap -e "remove lock = Caps_Lock" [17:16] ActionParsnip: Just because I like to play video games, doesn't mean I have no life, just that I'm a regular 17 year old adolescent. [17:16] xcdfgkjhgcv: i'm 28 [17:17] Anyone help? [17:17] ActionParsnip: You're an ugly, old man. [17:17] ChrizC, and you have read this ? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=91370 [17:17] I restade my help question: Hi, can anyone help me on how to find an external HDD in SSH? [17:17] xcdfgkjhgcv: not ugly or hugely old [17:17] ActionParsnip: Old people are ugly. [17:17] xcdfgkjhgcv: depends n opinion [17:17] ActionParsnip: Beauty is always on the outside. [17:17] FireVisor-> what do you meant by external HDD ? you can list all mountable hd via fdisk -l [17:17] xcdfgkjhgcv: i disagree [17:18] ChrizC, or this: http://webupd8.blogspot.com/2009/02/ubuntu-internet-connection-sharing.html [17:18] thevdi: my brain's just melted. [17:18] Partition access help please [17:18] n8tuser: you mount partitions, not drives [17:18] now i get xmodmap: please release the following keys within 2 seconds: [17:18] Return (keysym 0xff0d, keycode 36) [17:18] ActionParsnip: I'd never go out with someone if I didn't think she's really fit. [17:18] FireVisor: if its mounted it should be in /media [17:18] ChrizC, Brain melted? Welcome to Linux ;-) [17:18] xcdfgkjhgcv: you'll find the conventionally "pretty" ones are really annoying. Trust me ive been there [17:18] n8tuser: I have a USB external HDD connected to a server computer, and I want to transfer files to it remotely. [17:19] ActionParsnip: We've gone offtopic a bit. [17:19] FireVisor-> are you logged on to the remove server? [17:19] trineox: It's not in media... but it is connected and the lights tell me it's operational. The only thing in Media is CDROM stuff. [17:19] help i cannot seem to get xmodmap to work [17:19] FireVisor: if you mount the partition then share the mount point using samba, then you will be able to access it over lan [17:20] FireVisor: how was it mounted? auto via gnome? [17:20] thevdi: neither of those tutorials are making any sense/progress [17:20] hi, running latest 64bit with an internal intel generic sound controller on my mobo and recently i've found that mp3 playback is very stuttery, just started say a week ago. any ideas? [17:20] ryaxnbuntu-> well try this xmodmap -e "remove lock = Caps_Lock" <-- this dont work? [17:20] n8tuser: Yes, I am logged in to root through putty right now. [17:20] FireVisor: what does the command "lsusb" say? [17:20] FireVisor-> now do a fdisk -l to see what is mountable and mount to see whats mounted [17:20] n8tuser: it say [17:21] xmodmap: please release the following keys within 2 seconds: [17:21] Return (keysym 0xff0d, keycode 36) [17:21] which makes no sense, and pressing return doesn't help [17:21] Does anyone know how I can view the images in a PVR or RAW16 file on ubuntu? [17:21] ChrizC, if you want an easier life, you could get a 'switch' off ebay or whereever for next to nothing and this means you don't have to mess about with n network cards [17:21] MarderIII: it says it's listed... Western Digital [17:21] FireVisor: hmm well have you tried mounting it in terminal , like n8tuser said use fdisk -l and see which one it is /sda? etc then mount in terminal [17:21] hi [17:22] hello [17:22] thevdi: if I wanted an easier life, I would've installed Windows :) === antonio_ is now known as barak [17:22] ChrizC: windows ICS is just as complicated [17:22] ChrizC: virus' = not easy life [17:22] Question: I've installed HPLIP package what is newer than the version wich aptitiude says.

I managed to get my internet set up using windows within 5 minutes. [17:23] ChrizC, True. Or you could have got a Mac which is almost as bad, if not worse [17:23] ActionParsnip: only idiots get virii. I haven't had a virus in about 2 years. [17:23] thevdi: I would say they're worse. [17:23] I get an error report [17:23] ChrizC: Only idiots use Windoze. [17:23] FireVisor: worst case.. you have to mount it with a command like "sudo mount /dev/sda /mnt/media/???". Im not certain about the device numbers and mount point though.

[17:25] trineox: :-) [17:25] magical_walrus, My fspot seems to support RAW format [17:25] or, xcdfgkjhgcv, so they can then realise that the X server crashes in the middle of an important misson?

[17:26] Is that why the shuttle blew up? Cos NASA had a worm ? [17:26] magical_walrus: i doubt it, RAW is very common [17:26] thevdi: Ok, I'll try that. [17:26] ChrizC: Nope.. also by browsing the web. [17:26] Windoze is NOT easier/more secure/more stable than Linux. PERIOD [17:26] MarderIII: ya it was weird i ssh'd into my box from parents house on a winbox using winscp but discovered it wasnt mounted so i used putty and mounted it [17:26] ActionParsnip: And what about PVR?

I've had far more trouble getting things to work with Linux. But, I prefer not to line the pockets of corporations. It is a choice [17:28] primusx: when it parks, run: dmesg | tail [17:28] ChrizC: If it were up to me, I'd take all your Windoze users out into a field, and have you shot.

I tried pluggin again the NETGEAR router, but in the laptop i keep getting when I do iwconfig "No such device.." [17:37] TheVenerableZ: no I didn't mount the drive, it just showed up on booting up ubuntu live [17:37] dmesg | tail [17:37] DeepFrz, you have mounted the Windows partition and you can see the files, presumably [17:37] [ 15.413067] pci 0000:01:00.0: setting latency timer to 64 [17:37] [ 15.413206] [drm] Initialized radeon 1.29.0 20080528 on minor 0 [17:37] [ 15.715502] [drm] Setting GART location based on new memory map [17:37] [ 15.716642] [drm] Loading R500 Microcode [17:37] [ 15.716667] [drm] Num pipes: 3 [17:37] primusx: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[17:37] thevdi: I can see the files, I have made a dir on my old linux hd, in my user partition [17:38] DeepFrz, you need to mount the NTFS/FAT partition first. You might get some errors, though, if the partition is damaged [17:38] hi [17:38] swoody: sudo lshw -C disk [17:38] ubunto is suckssssssssssssssssss [17:38] ActionParsnip, ah, many thanks :) [17:38] thevdi: can you walk me through that procedure?

[17:39] magical_walrus: how about imagemagick ? [17:39] DeepFrz: erm...we'll see. So, you've booted off a Live CD and you can see the Windows (NTFS?) partition, plus you can see the files you want to copy off it ? [17:39] MarderIII: Well... I don't know, but that's whats listed when i typed sudo fdisk -l at the bottom... [17:39] ActionParsnip: I'll try that, one second === mr is now known as Guest89905 [17:39] thevdi: yes, that is correct [17:39] Hi all, I have a question to all [17:40] guys [17:40] I'm having some issues getting to my windows drive.

[17:40] guys [17:40] jack_: sup [17:40] DeepFrz, and you have another partition on the machine that is some other format?...like EXT2 or EXT3 ? Or is it another Windows (NTFS or FAT) partition ?

How can I config that in the laptop LCD panel and in the External LCD Monitor show two diffirence windows (in the LCD panel I want to use the web brower), in the extrenal LCD Monitor show some my other programs? [17:42] DeepFrz, and you mount it but it is a user "home" dir that you are trying to write to on that 20GB HD ? [17:42] Is there a way to abort an installation of unconfigured packages (due to errors) without having to manually list all the packages to "aptitude remove" [17:42] fuck ubunto [17:42] Who is Ubunto?

I suspect that you are able to mount the partition but it "sees" you as not being the owner of the home dir that you are trying to write to, hence the problem (?)

[17:48] DeepFrz, I think you have to mount this EXT3 partition in a special way that forces it to ignore the owner permissions but this is something you do in the /etc/fstab file (I think) and I don't know how to do this for a live CD [17:48] there is a clicking sound in my hdd [17:48] girls who need help [17:48] thevdi: oh, okay, it's copying the photos to the temp folder I created, maybe I can use sudo to copy to the linux hd? [17:48] some one kick jack out [17:48] no op around? [17:48] alie: can you help? :) [17:49] having problems with my printer, lexmark x4530, ubuntu can not find the drivers any ideas how to install this printer [17:49] fucke u ubuntu [17:49] DeepFrz, yes, you could copy them using sudo or with sudo rsync [17:49] thevdi: is that ntfs-3g? [17:49] DeepFrz, how many GB of files are you talking about? Could you copy them to a FAT32 USB pen or whatever ? [17:49] anyone here tethering a blackberry bold start having issues recently either after a kernel update or a bold fw update? [17:49] TheVenerableZ: hey my entry is at the bottom after end of automatic kernals list [17:50] thevdi: 5.7 gb [17:50] can i deploy virtualbox image in a ext3 disk? [17:50] Hydrid: yes [17:50] DeepFrz, the debian home wouldn't be mounted using ntfs-3g; that would be the windows partition that you say has been damaged by the malware. The ext3 partition will be referred to in the fstab file [17:50] thevdi: how do I mount the hd in ubuntu? [17:50] Hydrid: you can use "real" partition with vbox (have to manually edit stuff) [17:50] Hydrid: you can store vbox images on the partition [17:50] musikgoat: and it has no prob e? it runs ok [17:50] having issue getting my printer to work, ubunutu can not find my printer [17:51] trineox: Do you have any ideas? I have two separate drives, one with ubuntu and one with windows. I want to mount the first disk in grub for WIndows [17:51] NiiK: try type "lspci" on your terminal [17:51] Hydrid: no, it runs fine, my vbox is stored on a ext3 partition [17:51] if I install ubuntu on a windows partition will my disk still park [17:51] Hydrid: images are fast too.. attleast alot faster than vmware (when i last compared them) [17:51] DeepFrz, when you boot from the live CD, presumably you can see the Windows partition as you can mount it. You should also be able to see the EXT3 partition. I'm sorry - it's ages since I used the Live CD so I'm a bit sketchy on how it works [17:51] musikgoat: i want to install xp cause i am bored to search mooooooore to make my sound card and video card to work properly [17:52] WORK IN UBUNTU! [17:52] Which VM is faster on ubuntu, vbox or vmware ??? [17:52] I just acquired a Dell which I plan to use as a server of some sort to serve up media to XBMC. I am also in the process of installing Squid and using it as a proxy server. Anyone else got any ideas for this box? [17:52] alie: in my experience, vbox [17:52] alie: witch line do you need? [17:52] Hydrid: try right clicking on the speaker icon in top right corner and check settings [17:52] TheVenerableZ: well your grub menu entry needs to be fixed..... [17:52] alie: less overhead than vmware server [17:52] NiiK: Audio Device line [17:52] trineox: I'm trying to fix it, but I don't know what to put there [17:53] alie: 01:00.1 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc R700 Audio Device [Radeon HD 4000 Series] [17:53] osotogari: depends what you want the system to do? [17:53] TheVenerableZ: ok, you need to basically cut and paste line 154 to line 164 needs to pasted to the bottom [17:54] thevdi: yes that's right, but cat /etc/fstab doesn't show all the partitions. However I may be able to get them over now. [17:54] ActionParsnip, Pardon the stupid question, but how would I open the files with imagemagick? [17:54] how do i use the pastebin and ill paste mine [17:54] !paste | trineox [17:54] trineox: 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 [17:54] thevdi: they are still copying to the C:\temp folder [17:54] alie: it shows 2 audio devices [17:55] magical_walrus: display [17:55] magical_walrus: it can also translate and transform images, it is hugely powerful [17:55] DeepFrz, I know there may be some security implications in trying to mount an "old" home directory from a Live CD - I've had some in the past. I ended up creating a FAT32 partition on a spare HDD and copying to that to get around the hassle of the file/owner permissions [17:55] Anyway, have to go. Good luck [17:55] I'm having trouble with WINE. [17:56] magical_walrus: e.g. convert input.png output.jpg will create a jpg using the imge input.png [17:56] mick_: details please [17:56] trineox: After doing that, I get "Error 11: Unrecognized device string" [17:56] When I try to run WINE, my computer slows down, but the program never opens. [17:56] mick_: problems may solve if you use the latest version [17:56] @google wine ppa [17:56] Which version is that? [17:56] mick_: is the app compatible with wine? [17:56] @ ActionParsnip: Hmmm, well I have it serving media up using mediatomb to my ps3 and xbox, squid installed and working, Id like to have a calendar or some such app running on it too [17:56] ActionParsnip, It returns an error ("display file.raw16"): display: no decode delegate for this image format [17:56] jum no bot--- [17:57] mick_: http://www.winehq.org/download/deb [17:57] !pastebinit [17:57] pastebinit is the command-line equivelent of !pastebin . Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output.

I can't even open WINE configuration. [17:57] magical_walrus: loosk like you need something extra for it to show it, im very suprised [17:57] osotogari: web app?

[17:58] mick_: grab wine from the wine repos [17:58] ActionParsnip: Where might I find what I need to show .raw16 files? Also, fpsot & gimp do not recognize either .raw16 or .pvr files [17:58] osotogari: deluged + deluge-webui is a nice set [17:58] anybody can tell how to config the two monitor [17:58] @ MarderIII: the calendar? I could install apache, mysql etc [17:58] Does anyone know what a "Error 11: Unrecognized device string" means? I upgraded ubuntu 32 bit to 64 bit, and now I can't mount my windows drive [17:58] osotogari: like eyeos? --> desktop via the browser.

[17:59] I want the Ubuntu show first workspace in my LCD panel and the second workspace show in the external LCD monitor [17:59] osotogari: downloading [17:59] osotogari: bit heavy tough.. needs a webserver [17:59] magical_walrus: http://ufraw.sourceforge.net/ [17:59] osotogari: if you are into that [17:59] ActionParsnip: Tried that. [18:00] mick_: sowhat version of wine are you running? [18:00] exit [18:00] musikgoat: I was looking into rtorrent alright. I think you can set it to watch a directory and it will download upon adding a .torrent file to it [18:00] mick_: can you provide the output of: dpkg -l | grep wine [18:00] ActionParsnip, thanks [18:00] mick_: use htpp://pastebin.com to provide the output [18:01] Do I enter dpkg -l | grep wine into Konsole? [18:01] @ MarderII : I was thinking along the lines of an online calendar that I can access from any comp on the lan/from outside [18:01] mick_: yes [18:01] osotogari: rtorrent should do that, but i've had good success with deluge, you can run the daemon and have a nice webui, it it definately supports watching folders [18:01] can i use multiple terminal windows in cygwin ? [18:01] osotogari: eyeos provides that.

I might switch back though, Transmission is only ok [18:05] musikgoat: i use transmission as i can manage my torrents from my g1 phone [18:05] ok thanks ActionParsnip [18:05] musikgoat, I installed proftpd and the frontend and tinkered with it. Now it at least appears as if my password has changed. I can write it down in gedit, inspect it, paste it and still not manage to do something with sudo. [18:05] What do I do now? [18:05] ActionParsnip: there is dev on an android interface currently with deluge [18:05] hi, quick question, I was editing my fstab to automatically add my hdds to my system and I was checking how and where they were mounted with a vanilla 'mount' command at the terminal. my hdd's (which are ntfs) say that the type is 'fuseblk'. whats' the deal? [18:06] ActionParsnip: that is a nifty capability! [18:06] musikgoat: i'm already adding / removing and managing torrents currently [18:06] sweet [18:06] musikgoat: lots, browse on the phone, click a torrent, it connects to my server and kicks off the download [18:07] musikgoat: hows that for a slice of fried gold [18:07] ActionParsnip: i'm jealous :P [18:07] ActionParsnip: What do I do now? [18:07] ActionParsnip: i bet there will never be an iphone app for that :P [18:08] hah, i'd like to see Apple put that up on TV... "There's an app for that..." [18:08] TheVenerableZ: check your pastebin i replied to it...that was simple [18:08] mick_: try: sudo apt-get --purge remove wine; sudo apt-get --purge autoremove; sudo apt-get clean [18:08] TheVenerableZ: look at my menu.lst....all the way at the bottom [18:08] musikgoat: i dont know, i avoid apple like sars on toast [18:08] mick_: has wine ever worked?

[18:13] trineox: thanks, i'm trying it now [18:13] TheVenerableZ: no problem now are you having problems accessing your windows drive from linux too or just booting windows? [18:14] mmaruseacph2: the keyserver isn't down, i can successfully import a key from it [18:14] ? I'm still having issues with sound on flash. I tried some of the fixes, but they aren't working [18:14] so it's either my connection or the key [18:14] thanks [18:15] sure [18:15] trineox: now I'm getting error 13, not 11 [18:15] trineox: Could it be the vista bootloader? Could the ubuntu installer have ruined that? [18:15] musikgoat: I can't su myself (no pun intended). But I found out what was wrong. I mentioned tinkering with proftpd. I created a user for my ftp server with the same username as my actual user. For some reason my actual password was changed to that I used for the account in proftpd :S Wierd [18:16] I mean weird [18:16] ouch [18:16] TheVenerableZ: it shouldnt have but if you think it might have you can run your vista disk and choose repair [18:17] TheVenerableZ: if you choose vista then it fails it could be the vista bootloader [18:17] it works now, i can have haskell:) thanks [18:17] TheVenerableZ: ive had a problem before and the repair option repaired it [18:18] hi folks; i have recently re-installed jaunty... and my sound stops working after 10 minutes. it works upon a restart. when i try to load alsamixer i see: "alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device."; i've also disabled pulse according to the guide here: http://idyllictux.wordpress.com/2009/04/21/ubuntu-904-jaunty-keeping-the-beast-pulseaudio-at-bay/; ideas? [18:18] so I learned something...don't always hit the x unless you know what you are closing [18:18] TheVenerableZ: just make sure that your grub is correct, because your windows entry isnt in the correct place it should be at the bottom that i do know [18:19] trineox: I overwrote my grub with yours. [18:19] trineox: just the error message changed from 11 to 13. [18:19] trineox: Any ideas on how to fix the vista boot files? [18:19] TheVenerableZ: vista your best option is run your vista disk choose repair it will fix the boot loader [18:20] TheVenerableZ: ill look up your error see if i can help you better [18:21] if i want to backup my computer and i just copy the home folder would that backup my info [18:21] Brian__: yes, most of it [18:21] Brian__: there are some config files in /etc that are sometimes useful depending on the progs you run [18:21] Brian__: you might want to cherry pick the important ones [18:22] trineox: your grub messed something up. Now I can't even boot into ubuntu any more [18:22] would that reinstall my apps? [18:22] Brian__: no, but when you did reinstall them, you could put back in your custom settings with those files [18:22] musikgoat: thanks [18:22] np [18:22] heyho, can somebody help! i want to remove lots of Duplikates out of my Rhythmbox-medialibrary... [18:23] TheVenerableZ: well your ubuntu cd has a repair option for that [18:23] 8io78oi [18:23] hi [18:23] help, please... [18:23] I've been running the upgrade program [18:23] TheVenerableZ: u needed to only correct your grub entry by putting the windows entry to the bottom [18:23] from 8.10 to 9.04 ubuntu [18:23] however it's "preconfiguring packages" [18:24] and doesn't seem to ever end! [18:24] is that normal? [18:24] TheVenerableZ: mine obviously wasnt the same i was only showing that my vista entry is at the bottom [18:24] has anyone heard if the problems with printing to windows shared printers has been addressed in 9.10? [18:24] it has been preconfiguring packages, without a progress bar showing much useful information, for like 4 hours now [18:24] *with [18:24] TheVenerableZ: yours was above the ubuntu entries [18:25] trineox: oooh, my bad. How can I revert that? [18:25] TheVenerableZ: well best bet would be to run the repair option on your ubuntu cd first [18:26] TheVenerableZ: it will fix the menu [18:26] trineox: so, repair ubuntu, then repair windows? [18:26] TheVenerableZ: yes [18:27] trineox: where's the repair option? [18:27] TheVenerableZ: well i feel the entry was wrong soo the repair of ubuntu will fix it and you should be able to boot either windows or ubuntu [18:28] TheVenerableZ: once you boot ubuntu cd choose restore [18:28] trineox: I booted into the CD, and i don't see a repair option [18:28] TheVenerableZ: restore? [18:28] Try ubuntu without any change to your computer, Install Ubuntu, Check cd for defects, test memory, boot from first hard disk [18:29] TheVenerableZ: boot without installing [18:29] TheVenerableZ: we can just repaste your old menu [18:29] I'm getting a slight stuttering in my audio player when I have my cpu usage at 100%, is there a way to increase the priority of my audio player's process?

[18:30] trineox: OK, I chose "Try Ubuntu without any change to your computer" [18:30] on the s.saver preview i have selecetd one which crashes my system and every time i try to change it - it locks up (probly due to y crappy VGA) [18:30] Nitrodist: there's a command called "renice" for that on the cmd line [18:30] or is there a way to delete the screensaver via the terminal? [18:30] TheVenerableZ: good , remember how u edited your menu? [18:31] I ain't afraid of no steeking commandline [18:31] man renice ! [18:31] TheVenerableZ: edit it again but paste your old one from your link which i have [18:31] trineox: So just paste from my link, but move windows to the bottom? [18:31] Nitrodist: for ex, "renice 10 foo", changes priority of process number foo to 10 [18:31] TheVenerableZ: yes [18:31] Nitrodist: you can set smaller (higher) priorities, but only running as root [18:32] uga, can you read minds? I'm changing foobar2k's process priority! [18:32] TheVenerableZ: starting with line 154 to 164 that section needs to be pasted to the bottom [18:32] Nitrodist: hehe [18:32] TheVenerableZ: your link was http://paste.ubuntu.com/266201/ [18:33] thanks trineox [18:33] trineox: how do i mount the drive? === dani is now known as Guest27551 [18:33] TheVenerableZ: mount /dev/disk/by-uuid/something /tosomwhere [18:33] TheVenerableZ: np ...go to system u dont see your drive?

[18:35] trineox: let me find out how to get to the drive via terminal [18:35] Nitrodist: you can run the application with a given priority by using "nice" command too [18:36] for example my super key, when pressed, triggers the Alt, the Super, and the Tab events O_O [18:36] Nitrodist: renice changes it once it's already running [18:36] TheVenerableZ: hmm let me think about that [18:36] simplexio : it might be very simple question for you [18:36] comrade_tuttle: unzip it place where progs find it /usr/local/lib/ is nice place. and are you 100% sure that there isnt that library in repos [18:36] trineox: /dev/disk doesn't exist [18:37] ok uga, my 'pr' value was 20, so I wanted to set it to 19, so I did sudo renice 19 -p 17228 and the result was that it increased my pr to 39 and my overall nice score went up 19 [18:37] that is to say, my nice score went from 0 to 19 [18:37] wtf!

[19:09] mneptok: yes I got it working with ndiswrapper [19:09] ForestBear: yuck :/ [19:09] and right now i have a keyboard problem [19:10] Dr[E]aM: I upgrade every day and haven't had an incident as of today [19:10] list [19:10] KerberosHades: ok thankis [19:10] Hello. Is there a better way to increase the desktop size while keeping the screen size (moving the mouse to the edges moves the displayed desktop area) than runnning a vncserver and viewer on localhost? [19:10] basically some of my keys trigger multiple events, such as my super key triggering the Alt, the Super, and the Tab [19:10] thanks* [19:10] Dr[E]aM: welcome [19:10] Isaac: true, but when you have something broken for a whole release that might be critical to some people... you lose some faith from users, I think... I'd rather have stuff working :) [19:10] maxkelley you could probably go to the program's site and get a latest version of it for Ubuntu though. [19:11] startx gives a blank screen and hangs. Help please? [19:11] Isaac: yep, compiling it right now. [19:11] They almost certainly compiled a .deb for Ubuntu from the latest release. === ecanto is now known as edson [19:12] Hi, I have a bit of a complicated question. I'm trying to backup to a shared host, and I want them to be unable to read anything in my backup. Does anybody have any thoughts about how to create an encrypted drive of some kind that I can access but they can't? [19:12] startx gives a blank screen and hangs. Help please? [19:13] catkingdom: try "X" [19:13] when? after it's hanged or instead of startx? [19:13] mlissner: there are probably several ways to do it, but one is create cryptoloop disk image for backups [19:13] catkingdom: instead of [19:14] command not found [19:14] !x [19:14] The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution [19:14] catkingdom: Is the whole system hanging or just X? [19:14] mlissner: other way is create ecryptfs directory and store backups there [19:14] Has anyone every gotten the integrated intel graphics card to work with Ubuntu 8.10 [19:14] * nit is away: Gone away for now [19:14] simplexio: and I imagine those would have some kind of key somewhere, or passphrase? [19:14] or better still installed Ubuntu on a Dell XPS One [19:14] just X as far as I can tell. I've looked through the log, and it gives an error acount a securitypolicy file, and then repeated errors about not reading /dev/wacom [19:15] * nit is back. [19:15] i'm a newbie to Linux and desperately need some help [19:15] mlissner: key file, passphrase are supported [19:15] also doesn't seem to like any (and I mean, any) screen resolutions [19:15] paocl: why 8.10? why not 8.04 or 9.04? [19:15] simplexio: any thoughts on how to use a key file or passphrase so that it's automated and the host still can't access it? / [19:15] now to enable laptop mode in 9.04? [19:15] paocl: it usually works, but maybe with 9.04 you will be luckier [19:16] catkingdom: have you tried reconfiguring X? [19:16] KerberosHades: I installed with 9.04 as well and it only works with driver=vesa [19:16] Oi, I've got an audigy 2; just installed 9.04 and now I can't get my line-in to play? [19:16] Hi, someone can say me how can I enter to spanish channeles¿?¿ [19:16] don't know how. I'm new to the bash side of things :P i've had dapper running on here before, but that was before a HDD change and a ram downsize, so I decided to take the https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LowMemorySystems route. [19:17] !es [19:17] En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [19:17] I run pavumeter and it clearly shows that it detects audio coming in on the line-in, but it won't play any of it. [19:17] once i set driver to intel, the screen does blank or with a high res [19:17] I expect this is a pulseaudio problem. [19:17] But can't seem to get it fixed. [19:17] Shinigami: Vas a #ubuntu-es, o #kubuntu-es para kubuntu. [19:17] well when someone is available to help me please tell me :) [19:17] mneptok: I installed with 9.04 as well and it only works with driver=vesa [19:18] hey how good is ubuntu's NTFS processing, compared to windows. i.e. is there a cost associated with using NTFS? or is the bottle neck in the read speed of the drive? [19:18] just wondering will i notice slow down if i keep my files in an ntfs partition... [19:18] Terabyte: linux only supports NTFS readonly [19:18] paocl: which Intel graphics? 915? 945? [19:18] Hey ubuntu people [19:18] I wanna change my resolution [19:19] * javapi [19:19] Catbus|ubuntu: not true... [19:19] catkingdom: Ctrl+Alt+F1, then log in. run sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [19:19] er, sorry [19:19] But when I do, my monitor won't turn back on after [19:19] catkingdom: not true, it works r-w. [19:19] catkingdom, yes hence the read speed of the drive.... question still stand though, is it slower? [19:19] i'm sure i read somewhere that it was r-only [19:19] i save filed to a ntfs partiton all the time [19:19] Terabyte: there is a little bit of a lag, from what I've seem. [19:19] catkingdom: Follow the steps. In the end, run sudo reboot and see if that'll work. [19:19] i mneptok" i believe the 945 [19:19] *files to [19:19] maxkelley: lag? as in initial lag, and from there it's normal? or actual slow down [19:20] hi, got my new eeepc with ubuntu [19:20] Terabyte: its fast enough. its not the fastest option but it should work [19:20] i don't have patience to do benchmarking, just wondering if anybody knows of the top of their head [19:20] Terabyte: I would copy large raw video files to and from an NTFS partition and it took longer than from ext3-to-ext3, and used some decent CPU [19:20] i see, max, thanks :) [19:20] mactimes, are you available [19:20] no problem :) [19:20] ir there any app for remaster so I don't have to do everything over again with network and modules ? [19:20] mattgyver: Name it. So, still rebooting? [19:20] usb creator only creates from iso [19:21] paocl: have you checked the BIOS for anything that looks odd in terms of graphics? [19:21] basically i have vbox running windows 7 on ubuntu, and i'm wondering if my media files should be on a separate ntfs partition, or on the ext3 partition, or inside the virtual drive....

[19:24] mattgyver: It doesn't seem to be an Apache error. [19:24] ayyaya [19:24] mactimes, yeah, and that missing graphic is a known issue for the used theme, not really a bug of any sort [19:24] legend2440: I knew I hear about something like this..tx [19:25] mattgyver: Enable logs for the PHP, make it write the logs and check what happens. [19:25] hey guys if i type /echo something, would you see the "something"? [19:25] let me see how to enable debugging for php, probably similar [19:25] mattgyver: Make sure apache has permissions to write the log file for the PHP.

[19:26] Mneptok: I check the BIOS and the only setting there pertains to cache (1MB or 8MB) nothing else [19:26] ForestBear: try it [19:26] i did already [19:26] ribatejo: if you want to have option to change partiotion layout you can also just use tar to write all exept /tmp/ /proc/ /sys/ , then restring is that you first create file structure like mount sda1 to /, sdb to /home and untar package there. in both cases you probably need to reinstall grub from chroot enviroment [19:26] so i guess it's a no [19:26] paocl: have you tried changing that? [19:26] ForestBear: join a new channel and experiment away [19:26] sorry, mate..sometimes I have to laught..not that I know more than you but I am an happy camper :) [19:27] ok [19:27] mneptok: yes and the machine didn't boot up properly [19:27] paocl: nasty.

[19:27] yes, sure. [19:28] mactimes, php.ini is configured with error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE , do you think that is sufficiant, there is no debug setting [19:28] mneptok: i know!. Have you heard of of anyone who has successfully installed ubuntu on the Dell XPS One [19:28] Oi, I've got an audigy 2; just installed 9.04 and now I can't get my line-in to play?

[19:28] I run pavumeter and it clearly shows that it detects audio coming in on the line-in, but it won't play any of it. [19:28] I expect this is a pulseaudio problem. [19:28] mneptok: the only thing that doesn't work for me at this point is the graphics, everything else works [19:28] Knightlust: cp -r /home/$USER /mount/point [19:28] But can't seem to get it fixed. [19:28] paocl: no idea. is this a model that ships with Ubuntu pre-installed? [19:28] hi to all [19:28] Knightlust: i suggest you do it in live cd [19:29] Knightlust: so the files arent locked by being in use [19:29] mneptok: the intel linux driver page is not helpful either as it requires you to compile drivers and i haven't the slightest clue as to how to get that done [19:29] mneptok: no it ships with Vista Media center (that crap).

[20:16] dummygirl, gnome-display-properties [20:16] Hey could someone help ForestBear with a keyboard problem? [20:16] dummygirl: I asked someone else where, and what he is saying :) [20:16] whats the command line command to find a file? (search whole system) [20:16] anyone? :( [20:17] dummygirl: do alt-f2 [20:17] dummygirl: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart [20:17] TheSilentWarrior: find / -name your_file_name_here -print [20:17] dummygirl: if gdm crashes, it will not display panels [20:17] TheSilentWarrior, find / -iname "something" ? [20:17] try running blackbox to see if it is an X windows error [20:17] can any1 help me with the installation of skype? [20:17] lol [20:17] Hi, when I boot up I get a message "stopping Firestarter Firewall" near the very beginning of my boot, and it takes time up. How can I turn that off? [20:17] anyone know how to get directfb working in the console? seems i don't have the right permissions setup to right to tty#. [20:18] write to/ [20:18] sebsebseb> dummygirl: do alt-f2 , does nothing, [20:18] apt-get install skype? [20:18] ha i didnt know opera had a built in irc program [20:18] I just did an update to nvidia-glx-96 and I don't have the tops to any windows anymore [20:18] no minimize or close [20:18] no program name [20:19] i tried from the synaptic but after it gets installed, its not on my pc [20:19] Is there anything I can do to speed up compiz effects with an nvidia GF 6600. Its quick for games but sluggish when using cube? using activated drivers. [20:19] copy your xorg.conf to a backup file and nuke xorg.conf [20:19] dummygirl: alt and f2 together, and then you should get the run application thing [20:19] trism, deany, thanks [20:19] and the restart X with ctl-alt-backspave [20:19] hello? [20:19] dummygirl: you can also try ctrl alt f2 [20:19] hi [20:20] FAJ: uninstall firestarter ... iptables takes care of firewalling for you, unless you have something special in firestarter then you don't need it .. firestarter is a front-end for iptables [20:20] twoslice, its sysrq+k now. [20:20] lets try this a fourth time [20:20] I have no window borders after updating to nvidia-glx-96 [20:20] Stormy-Nova: is metacity running? [20:20] fccf: i have some special stuff in firestarter to allow samba to run effectively, so will those changes stay even after uninstall? [20:20] FAJ: I think in the GUI is a Start at Boot up option. un-mark or de-select that. [20:20] Stormy-Nova reset your driver to nv [20:20] Hey could someone help me with my keyboard problem? [20:20] I dunno. I assumed so [20:20] twoslice how [20:20] and restart X windows [20:21] dummygirl: by the way if you done the md5sum and that's good, ok, but your burn to CD could have gone a bit wrong, one of the options is to check the disc on the CD [20:21] trism, deany, the console is just there, seems todo nothing, doesnt it have a progress indicator? [20:21] also i dont think metacity is running [20:21] ForestBear: what is your problem? [20:21] sebsebseb> dummygirl: you can also try ctrl alt f2 , this got me to a black command line screen [20:21] /etc/X11 [20:21] vigo: it doesn't start at boot, that's the thing, it only stops the firestarter firewall. [20:21] Is there anything i can do about the corrupted image of the last session when logging in? [20:21] and so it takes up time. [20:21] Stormy-Nova: type pidof metacity in a terminal [20:21] lots of time. [20:21] dummygirl: ok that sounds good [20:21] edit xorg.conf and where it says driver use nv [20:21] now what haha [20:21] that will get you basic video support [20:22] so i have the ndiswrapper driver installed, how do i use that one rather then that native driver? [20:22] FAJ: no, however you could write that information into /etc/iptables to keep those configs, or copy them from iptables before removing firestarter... making fs unnecessary [20:22] TheSilentWarrior: no, it will just sit there until it finds something and either print it out or exit [20:22] what window manager are you using stormy? [20:22] TheSilentWarrior, it will let you know when its found something [20:22] gnome [20:22] fccf: should i try using ufw? last time i tried it it didn't allow samba traffic, but i can try again. [20:22] FAJ: Oh, Custom .confg settings that you wish to keep at boot? [20:22] I used nvidia-xconfig and now things are all strange [20:22] chow do i install skype? [20:22] some windwos just render white [20:22] TheSilentWarrior, you can use wildcards too in the -iname "*soemthing" or "something*" [20:23] sebsebseb what command to i run to get the sceen resolution changed [20:23] Stormy uninstall the nvidia driver and go back to plain old nv [20:23] FAJ: what fccf said is the path. [20:23] or to show menu bar [20:23] the reinstall the nv driver [20:23] Jan500> ForestBear: what is your problem? I was wondering exactly the same thing. [20:23] apt-get install skype [20:23] vigo; fccf; so do you think i should try using ufw to do that? i want to stay secure... [20:23] sudo apt-get install skype [20:23] How many times is he gonna ask? [20:23] anyone here got links2 working with directfb framebuffer driver? [20:23] !firewall [20:23] 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 [20:24] When i logout of my desktop back to the display manager (wdm) it's like my keyboard is screwed up. ie: return key, ctl, alt keys not working. any ideas?? wdm maybe?? [20:24] twoslice: i tried it, it doesnt work [20:24] dummygirl, gnome-display-properties [20:24] whats the NV driver under [20:24] you need to have the proper repositories [20:24] dummygirl: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart it should restart Gnome if not alt ctrl f7 after that [20:24] ah sorry [20:24] xserver-xorg-video-nv? [20:25] FAJ: Firestarter is a GUI frontend for iptables, there are many such things. [20:25] hi. i upgraded to Karmic, the new generic kernel works fine, new rt kernel that comes with karmic hangs for about 4 minutes just after loading wireless driver, then gets to the ubuntu X splash screen and shows a rotating flickering mouse cursor forever while we wait for the login screen that never comes. meanwhile a login works fine on one of the VTs [20:25] [20:25] my problem is that multiple evetns suddenly became to bound to keys like arrows, medai keys, and the super key [20:25] monster_: blacklist the native driver and have ndisgtk installed to load the new driver [20:25] just put nv in the driver paramater in the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file [20:25] !ndis |monster_ [20:25] monster_: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [20:25] hello [20:25] under section Device = "nv" [20:26] okay cool [20:26] dto: #ubuntu+1 for Karmic support, thanks [20:26] then sudo killall gdm && sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart ? [20:26] dto: try #ubuntu+1? [20:26] ctrl-alt-backspace will do [20:26] I thought that was depreciated [20:26] ctl-alt-bakcspave restarts X [20:26] Hey could someone help me with my keyboard problem? [20:26] dummygirl: I am just saying what someone else said to do, but when I got the black command line, I wasn't even sure how to exit, since hadn't been in there for ages, but yeah ctrl alt f7, maybe he should have said how to exit first [20:26] not for me [20:26] hi. is there any page where i can see 9.04 screenshots? === jesse is now known as Guest7336 [20:27] please help me how i can create icons for my programs from wine on my desctop, when do it then they dont work and i must enter iside wine disc C: to start them [20:27] well let's try this [20:27] twoslice: It's been disabled by default in newer versions of X, although you can still reenable it. [20:27] so it seems [20:27] ForestBear> Sorry, I don't have a clue what would cause that; other than gremlins. "-) [20:27] any commands to restart x and/or gdm [20:27] ah I am using Hardy I dont run the bleeding edge [20:27] sidewinder1: lol :( [20:28] sry i set atimer for the help request [20:28] cuz no one responded xD [20:28] Stormy-Nova: If you want, you can reenable the zapping of ctrl-alt-backspace, or you can use sysrq-k, I believe it is. [20:28] FAJ: both ufw and firestarter act as front-ends to the builtin firewall configuration file /etc/iptables ... you might want to read the "man iptables" for custom configuration ... ufw would be a cleaner and less processor/memory intensive way of building rules ... but all those rules are written to /etc/iptables anyway so get things setup the way that works, save /etc/iptables.backup ... remove the front-ends and copy iptables.backup to iptable [20:28] Actually several did [20:28] Stormy-Nova: or, from a TTY, you can restart gdm (sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart) [20:28] mengu: its depend which desktop system u will install [20:28] Will restarting GDM restart X? [20:29] But it's moving fast in here. [20:29] yes [20:29] okay [20:29] cool [20:29] i found a guide that said to set the permissions in /etc/udev/rules.d/40-permissions.something but it seems that file no longer exists. any ideas?

[20:37] dummygirl, it's seems very strange that gdm could not be found, what is shown if you type "ls /etc/init.d/gdm" into terminal?

[20:37] imma go burn another disc, but i have burned 5 on different computers and all have same problem, no menu bar [20:37] elexodus: right click on /dev/sda1 and see if it will mount from there [20:37] dummygirl: ok don't do that just yet then [20:37] dummygirl: and maybe you won't need to at all [20:37] dummygirl, it's possible it's a bad burn [20:38] for a bad burn detection, there is md5 [20:38] iceroot: yep and also a check on the CD [20:38] fccf: the problem I am having though is that with ufw on i cannot access samba at all; even with the service policy samba enabled and other ports open.

[20:43] With Raid 0, 0 stands for the number of files you get back if something goes wrong.

[20:48] Stormy-Nova: and what is "cant change resolution"? you dont know how? option is greyed out? settings are not used? please give some details instead of spaming the channel [20:49] vigo, looks like it does not fit me but thanks [20:49] FAJ: also look here .. pretty good explanation http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=534326 [20:49] stormy try xrandr -s 1024x768 as root [20:49] monitor unknown, only have 3 resolution settings, but I can't click anything because the damn screen is too small itself [20:49] hi i have ubuntu on my laptop and the sound buttons (volume up, down, mute) all work as something pops up when I press them.. thing is they make no effect to the system. doesnt mute, or anything [20:49] Hmmmm.........

[21:28] basically ethernet port [21:28] nic stands for network interface card [21:28] i guess [21:28] bipul: this channal is only meant to be for helping with Ubuntu, we can help wtih dual boots the Ubuntu side and that, but for Windows questions you should be asking in ##windows really [21:28] i think so [21:28] westmi: when I press the super button it triggers the super, alt, and tab at the same time [21:28] Nitrodist: I got an error message when i did mount-a [21:28] FAJ: do you plan to do this on a regular basis, editing /etc/default/ufw? [21:28] if anyone tell me why my XP CD is not booting in my system but working fine in others [21:28] westmi: and other keys like the arrows, media keys, trigger other things, such as the music player media buton also opens the email [21:28] when i type in terminal ifconfig i get a couple of things which make me think it is recognized [21:29] like the pci ethernet [21:29] Renji-dono, mount *SPACE* -a (without the space and this text) [21:29] bipul: yes in ##windows they can help with that [21:29] bipul: perhaps the bios isn't set to boot from CD [21:29] no this question is for ubuntu [21:29] make sure the command is 'mount -a' and not 'mount-a' [21:29] how can I test my laptop's mic in ubuntu? [21:29] Nitrodist: I did that it was a typo in here [21:29] ok [21:29] what's the error [21:29] matt@ubuntu:~$ sudo mount -a [21:29] [mntent]: line 12 in /etc/fstab is bad [21:29] [mntent]: line 13 in /etc/fstab is bad [21:29] fccf: no i just want the script so i know what i did to make it work; but again like if i can't do it, ok i will just add it to the file and copy pasta it to terminal/where i need it. so no biggie, but ifi can learn something then hey [21:29] FAJ: sed 's/IPT_MODULES="nf_conntrack_ftp nf_nat_ftp nf_conntrack_irc nf_nat_irc"/IPT_MODULES="nf_conntrack_ftp some-more-info nf_nat_ftp nf_conntrack_irc nf_nat_irc"/' /etc/default/ufw [21:29] dude i just installed linux for the first time, what info do u need? [21:29] i am having os as ubuntu [21:29] bipul: by the way did you see what I put about virtual machine and Wine? you also didn't answer my, what do you want to use XP for question [21:29] Renji-dono, are you sure that you have the correct device mounted under your dev/sda1? [21:29] here are lines 12 and 13 [21:29] Renji-dono, paste bin [21:30] Kay [21:30] bipul: well what the bot put for Wine [21:30] alkisg: that's awesome,, can you explain it? lol i would love to learn :) [21:30] http://pastebin.com/m59efde57 [21:30] bipul: if you need help with getting Windows installed or the computer to boot from the CD for it, well yes ##windows [21:31] is opera better than firefox? [21:31] !best | smogattack [21:31] smogattack: 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. [21:31] FAJ: sed is a program to modify input from commands or files. 's/search/replace/' is a regular expression, a way to tell sed what's it looking for and what to change it with. Run the line I wrote and see what it does. [21:31] !best | smogattack [21:31] You may wish to ask in http://ubuntuforums.org as it definately moves slower than in here. :-) [21:31] sebsebseb, what do you use? [21:31] smogattack: Firefox normalley, but sometimes other browsers as well [21:31] FAJ: then, if you put sed -i instead of just sed, it'll write the result to the same file (/etc/default/ufw). So you do want sed -i, but do it only when you're satisfied with the results. [21:32] Renji-dono, you have quotes at the end of the lines [21:32] smogattack: this is not the place to debate browser wars #ubuntu-offtopic for that [21:32] alkisg: so i updated your line to say: sudo sed 's/IPT_MODULES="nf_conntrack_ftp nf_nat_ftp nf_conntrack_irc nf_nat_irc"IPT_MODULES="nf_conntrack_ftp nf_nat_ftp nf_conntrack_irc nf_nat_irc nf_conntrack_netbios_ns"/' /etc/default/ufw [21:32] and then add an -i ? [21:32] hello, I have a program refusing to run in the background (it stops as soon as I close the console [started with & appended]), how can I force a process to run in the background (and not quit as soon as I close the terminal)? [21:32] option? [21:32] ah ok thanks Nitrodist [21:32] FAJ: yes. [21:32] so I know my mic works in ubuntu but is there a way to boost it? [21:32] Nitrodist: still get line 12 is bad [21:33] hmm ok good stuff, is that 's/' the correct value for /etc/default/ufw [21:33] is it because me external name is two words? [21:33] b/c i have changed mine up lol... [21:33] Renji-dono, you have a space between My book [21:33] FAJ: 's/...' means "search" [21:33] put the entire location in quotes [21:33] Yeah thats the name of the file [21:33] Ok [21:33] so "media/my book" [21:33] Thanks [21:33] jcristau: I tried `xrandr --fb 2048x768 --output LVDS --panning 1024x768+1024+0` but get "xrandr: screen cannot be larger than 1024x1024 (desired size 2048x768)". Any idea why? [21:33] i've installed mysql on my machine, but can't access it? [21:34] FAJ: `man sed` will tell you a lot of things; and a little googling will tell you more, and maybe a little more easy (tutorials etc) [21:34] alkisg: right, but is this: IPT_MODULES="nf_conntrack_ftp nf_nat_ftp nf_conntrack_irc nf_nat_irc" what is in a regular /etc/default/ufw. mine has been edited; so can't really cneck. [21:34] ChaosR: try "program name & disown" [21:34] would I have been prompted for apassword when setting it up [21:34] Nitrodist: Still getting line 12 is bad [21:34] FAJ: can you describe with words what you're trying to do, and what's the logic to do it? [21:34] ctmjr: that did the trick [21:34] Hello. I tried `xrandr --fb 2048x768 --output LVDS --panning 1024x768+1024+0` to set panning for my display but get "xrandr: screen cannot be larger than 1024x1024 (desired size 2048x768)". Any idea why? [21:34] ChaosR: usually we use nohup & for that [21:34] I realize this is pretty out of place, but would anyone using zsh happen to know if it's possible to tell zsh to never offer corrections for a particular command? I just installed ncftp and every time I try to run it, zsh asks me if I want to correct it to _ncftp [21:35] alkisg: i just need to know what is in a regular /etc/default/ufw lol. b/c mine has been edited. [21:35] FAJ: ah, ok, mine isn't. So that line I wrote is ok, I think... [21:35] sudo sed -i 's/IPT_MODULES="nf_conntrack_ftp nf_nat_ftp nf_conntrack_irc nf_nat_irc"IPT_MODULES="nf_conntrack_ftp nf_nat_ftp nf_conntrack_irc nf_nat_irc nf_conntrack_netbios_ns"/' /etc/default/ufw is that correct... the " and 's [21:35] alkisg: ah ok good stuffs.

[21:37] Nitrodist: Found the error [21:37] Renji-dono, what was it? [21:38] FAJ: paste the line here to see where the error is...

[21:39] Renji-dono, well that would do it, wouldn't it? :P [21:39] according to the properties the filesystemtype is msdos [21:39] Renji-dono, are you sure that /dev/sdb1 is the correct device? [21:39] Yeah hang on lemme try the other one === Guest181 is now known as juro_ [21:39] properties of what Renji-dono?? where are you getting that from [21:39] its coming up with two devices with different codes [21:39] him anyone knows extjs? anyone can tell me how to make a search in a grid? [21:39] hey guys, i'm having a nightmare of a time getting an install to work. i'm installing studio (though that dhouldn't be the problem) through an alt-install disk. i set my partitions not overwrite the current home partition but to mount it, use the current swap and to just install the root. i'm now getting an grub error 17, which means it is reading my partitions in the wrong order. i've reordered them with fdisk but when i've gone to up [21:39] Properties of the hard drive [21:40] anyone? trash can on an Ubuntu server? === fioff is now known as v86 [21:40] has anyone run into alsamixer showing a level of zero (0) and cannot be changed?

How to proceed? [21:40] Damn still an error [21:41] is it possible to recursively send directories with the ftp command (pftp)? [21:41] alkisg: would that just add those things into it? [21:41] Renji-dono, paste the results of 'mount' to a pastebin [21:41] ActionParsnip, sorry, my bad - trash on a Ubuntu SAMBA server [21:41] FAJ: yup. After testing, include the sudo and the -i. [21:41] err 2.6.24-17 [21:41] juro_: same place, its still ubuntu [21:41] Qvintvs: i think its mput [21:42] alkisg: lol the only problem with that is if those two things are already there, that adds them again. [21:42] Nitrodist: http://pastebin.com/m4611943c [21:42] FAJ: this weird \(.*\) means "find anything inside the quotes, and remember it, so that you can put it back in the replacement string where I put \1 [21:42] ActionParsnip, even if the drive is mounted by someone on a Windows pc? === Taube is now known as taube [21:42] ActionParsnip: the help on mput says it sends multiple files, but i'll try it with a directory [21:42] FAJ: then you need to get it so that it search for everything *but not* the string you want to add. [21:42] Renji-dono, just 'mount' without the -a [21:43] juro_: you dont mount drives [21:43] should give you a listing of all mounted devices [21:43] alkisg: yah that is what i thought, but it ends up adding it again if it is already there, yah i was thinking maybe an if/ then. [21:43] ActionParsnip, ?? [21:43] hi anyone knows extjs? anyone can tell me how to make a search in a grid? [21:43] juro_: you mount partitions [21:43] Nitrodist: http://pastebin.com/m61c6894c [21:43] ActionParsnip: ya, mput doesn't seem to do it [21:44] ActionParsnip, on samba you can mount directories - what ever [21:44] alkisg: so how to do that? [21:44] any idea how to boost a mic in ubuntu anyone? [21:44] juro_: the system trash for the user is still the same place [21:44] Renji-dono, look at line 19 -- you already have it mounted [21:44] shall I unmount? [21:44] Beefcaked: I had mic issues with skype also until I got a headset/mic set [21:44] ActionParsnip, thanx [21:45] juro_: just because its shared and mapped as a network drive in windows doesnt change anything [21:45] I want it to automount on boot [21:45] Renji-dono, well, you can't mount something twice :P [21:45] alkisg: i only plan on doing this on a few computers, so it prolly wouldn't be that big of a deal to just leave it how it is; b/c none of the other computers will have custom /etc/default/ufws === echo6_ is now known as echosix [21:45] Yah thats true xD [21:45] how can I run a script on first boot after install... im using preseeding and the late_command [21:45] alkisg: they should really make it so that when you say allow service samba, it auto-does all those steps for you .... [21:45] IdleOne: skype doesnt work at all when making a call for me [21:46] has anyone run into alsamixer showing a level of zero (0) and cannot be changed? [21:46] Hey could someone help me with my keyboard problem? my keyboard is the Micro Innovations Internet Access Elite my problem is that suddenly multiple events became bound to keys such as the media keys, the arrow keys ,and the super key [21:46] Beefcaked: try the skype forums [21:46] Renji-dono, also, the file system for that drive appears to be 'vfat' and not 'ntfs' [21:46] Ok thanks [21:46] FAJ: sed can do that as well without ifs, but it'd take a few minutes to write the correct regex for this. One way out of my head would be with an "if ! grep "IPT_MODULE.*new-string" then sed...." [21:46] lol alkisg well the original will work for now, thanks :D [21:46] Still getting an error >.< [21:46] lightpriest__: yeah but then i compiled alsa and it was fine [21:47] can anyone think of a reason why some DVDs will mount but others won't? (not a hardware or media problem) [21:47] Renji-dono, make sure your fstab has 'vfat' instead of 'ntfs' since that's the file system of that drive [21:47] Yeah changed that [21:47] Clooluss: reinstall libdvdcss2 from medibuntu repo [21:47] Renji-dono, also make sure that the drive is UNMOUNTED before you remount! [21:47] Renji-dono, also make sure that you created that directory! [21:47] actionparsnip: Is this a known problem then? [21:48] it is indeed unmounted [21:48] Renji-dono, with sudo mkdir! [21:48] ActionParsnip, compiled from the package sources? [21:48] hi all, do anyone know the repository for the new cinelerra 4? [21:48] ForestBear: is that a programable KB? can only be reprogrammed in windows... may be passing multiple keycodes w/o your knowledge [21:48] Clooluss: im using karmic ;) [21:48] and the directory existed anyway O_o [21:48] ActionParsnip, it happend after a kernel upgrade [21:48] actionparsnip: I'm on Jaunty. this has been driving me nuts for months! [21:48] fccf: no it's not, and it was working perfectly until recently [21:49] lightpriest__: you'll need the driver for sound for your new kernel [21:49] Clooluss: its worth a reinstall just incase [21:49] where can i find an updated .iso of jaunty? with newer kernel and whatnot? [21:49] lightpriest__: did yuor system work ok with the old kernel? [21:49] Renji-dono, then it's still mounted? [21:49] :o [21:49] Nitrodist: How do you remove dir? [21:49] FAJ: you'll need to remaster the jaunty ISO [21:49] ActionParsnip, i have it. the module exists. alsa loads it properly and aplay shows the correct driver. even /dev/urandom | aplay works fine [21:50] Renji-dono, did you use the umount command? [21:50] ActionParsnip: ok lol not worth it :) [21:50] do umount -l "my book" [21:50] Does anyone know of a good EXIF editor for GNOME/GTK? [21:50] ActionParsnip, it did work, in the kernel on the live CD [21:50] It isnt mounted [21:50] I already unmounted [21:50] xD [21:50] *written in GNOME/GTK [21:50] lightpriest__: then you dont need the newer kernel, the old one is fine [21:50] Hmm this is weird [21:51] Im gunna restart [21:51] Renji-dono, then... how is that directory existing? [21:51] :p === natureshadow1 is now known as natureshadow [21:51] I dunno xD [21:51] FAJ: its not hard === echo6_ is now known as echosix [21:51] ActionParsnip, bahh I'll try installing the old one [21:51] lightpriest__: kernels provide harware and memory access [21:52] lightpriest__: if your system is doing all those fine you do NOT need to upgrade the kernel [21:52] mmmm i just realized my microphone doesnt really work. whenever i try the sound recorder application its just somewhat recording the mp3 i have playing except in a lower volume... wtf [21:52] uninstall / re-install of libdvdcss2 made no difference. DVD just clonks and whirs and refuses to be acknowledged. [21:52] lightpriest__: newer isnt better [21:52] ActionParsnip, i know all that. it just surprised me ;) [21:52] lightpriest: if it aint broke, don't fix it [21:52] ActionParsnip: it is when the kernel addresses security concerns [21:52] IdleOne: +infinity there [21:52] how can i run a shell script on boot? [21:53] hi all, do anyone know the repository for the new cinelerra 4? [21:53] zealiod: add it to your startup items in prefs or put it in /etc/rc.local if it needs root [21:53] question is, how do i know which kernel would work :D [21:53] mneptok: users rarely check the difference [21:53] beefcake, there should be a volume boost in the sound options somwhere [21:54] i have a backup server and i need to copy files into it at regular basis. the backup server is running rsync with ssh. now, i was thinking of generating an ssh key and uploading that to the authorized_keys of the server so that i don't have to write down the login password in plain text to the cron script. however ssh keys are protectd usually with passprases, so should i take the risk of not encrypting the ssh key since i would have to write down the pa [21:54] ActionParsnip: that doesn't negate the fact that newer kernels are often a good idea. and that issues with them should be diagnosed and reported. [21:54] ActionParsnip: how do you do that? i mean all i really want is a liveusb and so the old iso works just fine for me. [21:54] mneptok: I would think if the security concerns were that big the update manager would offer an upgrade [21:54] mneptok: i'd rather implement security elsewhere and have sound [21:55] IdleOne: and it would. that's why compiling your own kernel is frowned upon. [21:55] FAJ: http://blog.dipinkrishna.info/2009/07/customise-or-remaster-ubuntu-904-jaunty.html [21:55] lightpriest__: have you tried disabling Pulseaudio with the newer kernel? [21:55] ActionParsnip: kk thanks [21:55] !remaster [21:55] Interested in remastering the Ubuntu !live CD? See: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization or use tools such as http://uck.sourceforge.net/ or http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/DRU_Disc_Remastering_Utility [21:56] Hey could someone help me with my keyboard problem? my keyboard is the Micro Innovations Internet Access Elite my problem is that suddenly multiple events became bound to keys such as the media keys, the arrow keys ,and the super key [21:56] mneptok, nope [21:56] mneptok, i'll try the older kernel first... [21:56] lightpriest__: are you booted to that kernel now? [21:56] Does anyone here also has mouse focus problems? Like this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/296167 [21:56] mneptok, no it's the mediacenter. it's booting up now :) [21:56] FAJ: once chrooted you can update the files in the iso with the repo then reburn. You can also remove packages from the cd etc [21:56] lightpriest__: (the newer one with non-functioning audio, that is) [21:56] actionparsnip: uninstalling and reinstalling libdvdcss2 made no differences [21:56] ActionParsnip: can i use apt-cdrom, even though it's a usb? [21:57] Clooluss: bah, maybe theres a pattern with the dvds it wil and wont access [21:57] mneptok, the older one. the one that's left after the upgrade is now loading i'm checking ;p [21:57] Can anyone advise on how to continue a failed jaunty upgrade? [21:57] The_Jag: 32 bit is here ... not a .deb ... installs from binary http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/heroines/cinelerra-4-ubuntu-i686.tar.bz2 [21:57] ActionParsnip: on nvm [21:57] ActionParsnip: i dont have an rc.local dir?

[21:57] Omg [21:57] :O [21:57] mneptok, bahh the older kernel isn't working also [21:57] jedonirc: boot to recovery root console with network and run: sudo apt-get -f install [21:58] !hi | basso [21:58] basso: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [21:58] actionparsnip: Yes, it seems like really old DVD (ie 4 or 5 years old) are usually ok, newer ones often aren't. Trouble is though, some newer DVDs (ie 300, Jumpers) used to work under Ubuntu but now don't! [21:58] mneptok, i guess it's not a kernel issue [21:58] ActionParsnip: Thx. [21:58] I was trying to build my kernel and got this error arch/i386/kernel/process.c:586: Error: suffix or operands invalid for `mov' [21:58] can anyone help?

[22:00] lol [22:00] mneptok, isn't pulseaudio "above" alsa? [22:00] lightpriest__: it is [22:00] ActionParsnip: So do I just put the path to the shell script... [22:00] zealiod: use the absolute path, from / [22:01] mneptok, my problem is that i can't change the volume of the master channel and everything else. it's stuck on zero... [22:01] i'll take a screenshot [22:01] Renji-dono, I take paypal [22:01] ActionParsnip: doesnt that run on every run level?

I receive a message in the terminal when starting the xfce4 session that Throttle level is 5 -- What does this mean???

[23:16] Hey could someone help me with my keyboard problem? my keyboard is the Micro Innovations Internet Access Elite my problem is that suddenly multiple events became bound to keys such as the media keys, the arrow keys ,and the super key [23:16] prince_jammys: I guess it is because uids are wrong [23:16] prince_jammys: 99 apparently [23:16] quidnunc: that has to be it. [23:16] prince_jammys: I think I see the problem now. The filesystem was created on another host and the UIDs don't match [23:17] prince_jammys, pvl1: Thanks [23:17] Anybody know how to identify a server's ssh key? I am trying to connect to a server to do scp, and need the key for that, but the server doesn't allow ssh, so I can't figure out what the key is... [23:17] quidnunc, np [23:18] mlissner: but if it doesn't allow ssh, how's it supposed to allow scp [23:18] mlissner, if it doesnt allow ssh, u need someone to send u the keyfile or w.e its called. other than that you can't get in. [23:18] Ben64: I wondered the same thing, but it does work. No SSH, but yes to scp. [23:19] pvl1: Bother. Not the answer I was hoping for... [23:19] mlissner: How would you expect it to work the way you envision and preserve security? [23:19] how do i get to my HD from a live cd [23:20] can someone help me, my wireless keeps dropping [23:20] what is the beginner channel [23:20] quidnunc: well, the key isn't a secret. I was hoping there was an easy way to query it outside of ssh. [23:21] any ideas? [23:22] hey there. intrepid is supported til april 2010, right? -- what about security updates? do they update major bugs in servers, such as tomcat6 ? [23:22] Hi, how do i re-run pending install scripts that didn't install correctly? my friend just updated his computer and it said that linux-whatever didnt install correctly cause the post install script returned 1 or something [23:23] Polygon89: dpkg --configure -a [23:23] binwiederhier: Security updates will be pushed out as long as the release is still supported. [23:23] Polygon89: (with sudo) [23:23] !intrepid | binwiederhier [23:23] binwiederhier: Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) was the ninth release of Ubuntu. Downloading: http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.10/ - Release Notes: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/810 [23:23] Pici: so, definately not longer? [23:23] prince_jammys, thanks buddy [23:23] binwiederhier: Correct, not after the support has run out [23:24] Polygon89: welcome. [23:24] binwiederhier: if you want LTS - Long Term Support stick to Hardy for now [23:24] Pici: okay, :-( [23:24] Is it possible to install OpenOffice 3/3.1 on Hardy? I tried the guide at http://webupd8.blogspot.com/2009/05/install-openoffice-31-in-ubuntu-jaunty.html , but it does not give the option to upgrade. [23:24] my problem is that i want to install tomcat6, but hardy has only 5.5 and no backports for version6 [23:24] Ben64: it seems it's actually not that easy to catch the whole stream. It's about an hour long. It is streamed and it seems to me like I actually have to play the whole thing before it shows up in my cache as a complete file. :/ [23:25] Pici / fccf1: any ideas how i could install it with the packet manager? -- not manually? [23:25] Ben64: If i jump in the streamed file, i can see a new file being created in the cache... so how can i get the whole thing at once? any idea? [23:25] gabbah: the whole video has to load before it'll all be in cache [23:26] Hey could someone help me with my keyboard problem? my keyboard is the Micro Innovations Internet Access Elite my problem is that suddenly multiple events became bound to keys such as the media keys, the arrow keys ,and the super key [23:26] gabbah: soo... if you link the file elsewhere, when firefox deletes it, you will still have the linked one [23:26] ForestBear: dude turn off that repeater, annoying [23:26] !patience | CoJaBo-Aztec ForestBear [23:26] CoJaBo-Aztec ForestBear: 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. [23:26] Ben64: do you mean a soft link in linux? [23:27] gabbah: no, hard link === jason is now known as Guest98578 [23:27] binwiederhier: you will find what you are looking for here https://launchpad.net/%7Emjeanson/+archive/backports/+sourcepub/571110/+listing-archive-extra [23:27] Ben64: ok. so still, i would have to let it play for the whole duration? [23:27] hi, can I format allocated space on the disk I am currently running ubuntu on ? [23:27] gabbah: you have to let it _load_ the entire movie [23:27] tim167: allocated/used or unallocated/notused ? [23:27] * CoJaBo-Aztec tried searching, the answer juszt doenst work :/ === Guest98578 is now known as jason-- [23:28] CoJaBo-Aztec: when I looked, there's a ppa for 9.04 that can be installed easilly, but since yoru on 8.04 hmm === jason-- is now known as jason123 [23:28] sebsebseb: unallocated sorry [23:28] Anyone know of good software to help manage a private apt server? [23:28] CoJaBo-Aztec: You could also download and install from source [23:28] fccf1: thx. i'll try that [23:28] I created a bootable usb with USB STartupDisk creator.. it works but I thinks it only for ubuntu/linux boxes cuz when I tried it on a windows box it wont boot, is that true? [23:28] tim167: unallocated space is space that can be used for a new partition [23:28] CoJaBo-Aztec: and your file is here ... i386 only https://launchpad.net/%7Er0lf/+archive/ppa/+sourcepub/715066/+listing-archive-extra === fccf1 is now known as fccf [23:29] sebsebseb: unused space, the first partition on the disk is the ubuntu i am currently on, then there's a second partition which is formatted and mounted, and lastly unallocated space, so i can format that without unmounting the other partitions ? [23:29] Is there anyway to tunnel an enlightenment session? [23:29] Ben64: yes, but it seems to stream it, and it doesn't seem to load it as fast as it can... I mean i'm on a 30Mbit line so it's not a limitation with my internet connection [23:29] tim167: you don't format unalloacted space, because it's not being used by anything [23:29] fccf: What is that? [23:30] sebsebseb: or, i mean create a partition on it... [23:30] tim167: yes [23:30] tim167: install gparted if it's not already installed [23:30] sevol3: you'll have to make sure the compter can boot from usb, look in the bios config. It should not matter at all what kind of computer it is [23:30] arand, it is set to boot from usb [23:31] sebsebseb: yes i have gparted, ...and how risky is it ? i don't want to break anything in the other 2 partitions...:p [23:31] tim167: well you can always backup first before doing anything with partitions, right? however if your careful and only do stuff with the unalloacted space, you should be ok [23:32] tim167: what kind of partition do you want to make? [23:32] CoJaBo-Aztec: that is a PPA or Personal Package Archive, people compile things for different things, though not technically supported, you get OO3 on hardy [23:32] fccf: he doesn't know how to do the ppa [23:32] sebsebseb: ok thanks, in fact that was my other question, is there a partition I can make that can be mounted by a mac OSX system ? [23:32] tim167: I think nearly anything can, fat32 and so on === Pall_Maul is now known as fite_mashine [23:33] tim167: well fat32 should be able to do for sure [23:33] hey im trying to install crossover office but i keep getting permission denied in terminal [23:33] sevol3: In theory there are nothing like a "windows computer" or a "GNU/Linux computer" they're all pc:s... But in what way does the usb not boot then? [23:33] tim167: I don't know much about Macs when it comes to partitining as I expect most people here don't either, you could ask in ##mac [23:33] in the apt system whats the file that lists all packages installed along with their status? [23:33] and an error that beigns like this gedit has not been able to detect the character cod..... [23:33] sebsebseb: So is source the only option? Are there other ways to install? [23:34] sebsebseb: hmm but fat32 doesn't allow to write files bigger than 3Gig... [23:34] tim167: bzzt [23:34] CoJaBo-Aztec: the ppa that fccf linked to, should do it, and hopefuly fccf can help you get that installed [23:34] tim167: (2^32) -1 bytes [23:34] tim167: I am not sure what file systems Mac OS X suppourts, but I expect they know in ##mac [23:34] sebsebseb: I have no idea what to do with that link! Any ideas? [23:35] join ##mac [23:35] oops :p [23:35] tim167: you can use fuse on osx, so ext3, ntfs etc all possible too [23:35] CoJaBo-Aztec: read the ppa primer https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/PPA [23:35] tim167: try #macosx too [23:35] CoJaBo-Aztec: for 9.04 it's simple and straight forward to do the ppa, for 8.04 I don't know [23:35] linxeh: ah interesting thanks, I'll have a look [23:35] sebsebseb: CoJaBo-Aztec: that ppa is for hardy [23:36] tim167: I'm a heavy osx user [23:36] Hey could someone help me with my keyboard problem? my keyboard is the Micro Innovations Internet Access Elite my problem is that suddenly multiple events became bound to keys such as the media keys, the arrow keys ,and the super key [23:36] fccf: yep I know [23:36] Did anyone else notice that sometimes Firefox does not fins any hits in history when typing into the address bar ?
