HillshumModern CPUs help00:00
nostalgicBadgerFacebook needs an HTML. because the devs don't know how to utilize js.00:01

nostalgicBadgerHTML mode*00:01
erUSULsyk: ask here00:01
sykis there any way to get a nicklist in xchat gnome?00:01
HillshumAnyway, this app is running faster now00:02
lstarnessyk: I thought it did have a nicklist by default00:02
lstarnessyk: have you tried the regular version of xchat?00:02
Hillshumsky: Below the list of channels, click where it says how many users there are00:02
asm`hi - im trying to install kubuntu 64-bit with Windows Virtual PC on Windows 7.. I get an error that the iso is not 64-bit, when I clearly downloaded the 64-bit version00:03
nostalgicBadgeryou're trying to run kubuntu 64 bit on Windows 7?00:03
lstarnesasm`: it might be caused by virtual pc not supporting 64-bit00:03
asm`well thats shitty.00:03
asm`nostaglic: yes why not?00:03
nostalgicBadgerasm - why?00:03
lstarnesasm`: please refrain from using that kind of language00:04
asm`okay sory00:04
syklstarnes, yeah i like the gnome version better, just wish i knew how to get the nicklist. would you happen to know where i can find the xchat-gnome directory to edit the theme?00:04
asm`let me google this00:04
nostalgicBadgeri'm trying to imagine what the point of running linux in windows 7 would be.00:04
lstarnessyk: I do not know00:04
sebsebsebasm`: VirtulPC does not like Linux much00:04
sebsebsebasm`: also any version of Windows as the host :(00:04
lstarnessyk: but in my experience xchat-gnome tends to not be as complete as the original xchat00:04
asm`sebsebseb: thats not true. i virtulized the same iso just fine when i had vista. but i was using VMWare.00:05
Hillshumsyk: Did you see what I said? Below the channel view00:05
sebsebsebasm`: exactly00:05
Hillshumasm`: VirtualBox?00:05
sebsebsebasm`: as I just said  Virtualpc  tends not to work that well with Linux00:05
asm`yes well i dont like vmware.00:05
asm`i dont mind it but i couldnt do true full-screen00:06
sykHillshum: i just seen that, thank you00:06
sebsebsebasm`: Virtualbox  with Windows as the guest, and  Linux as the host?  :)00:06
lstarnesasm`: are you using a 64-bit version of windows 7?00:06
asm`yes.00:06
sykHillshum: any idea where i can edit the theme in xchat-gnome?00:06
iokyHi I trying edit my xorg to setup my two mouse, but it doesn't seem make any difference, i wonder why00:06
asm`i will try VirtualBox.. because I didnt like VMWare.00:06
iokyhere is my xog.conf00:06
asm`I couldnt find 'Vmware Tools' to install on Kubuntu..00:07
Hillshumsyk:  No :/00:07
asm`you cant go full-screen without those tools.00:07
asm`and your VM looks like crap.00:07

dtami love virtualbox.. make sure you install the nonfree version00:07
asm`what is the non-free version?00:07
sebsebsebasm`: and I hope  Linux in a vm is only for testing :)   I suggest putting Ubuntu 9.10 on as host OS when it's released at the end of October :)00:07
lstarnesasm`: the sun version00:08
dtamthe nonfree version has usb support00:08
sebsebsebasm`: they are both free as in price, just one version is open source and the other is closed source, that one also has USB support for example00:08
asm`sebsebseb: tbh, i want to try beryl and KDE.00:08
nostalgicBadgerasm': why are you trying to run ubuntu within windows anyway?00:08
asm`because i like ubuntu00:08
sebsebsebasm`: Beryl is no longer made,  that got forked back into Compiz Fushion00:08
nostalgicBadgerasm`: so why don't you just install ubuntu?00:08
asm`because i game a lot00:08
linxehnostalgicBadger: many people run linux on a windows host to get around hardware issues00:08
asm`and i like windows 700:09

linxehWindows7 = Vista, as should have been00:09
asm`so are you guys saying that sun's version of VB doesnt have USB support??00:09
sebsebseblinxeh: :)00:09
linxehasm`: yes00:10
dtamand with windows you will need to install antivirus and antispyware.. and so and so forth which are performance killers00:10
lstarnesasm`: it does00:10
asm`yes i agree that windows 7 is vista SP3..00:10
linxehasm`: it doesnt have USB pass through00:10
lstarnesasm`: but the open source edition doesn't00:10
nostalgicBadgerHardware issues? You can just use ndiswrapper to get around driver issues.00:10
sebsebsebasm`: the open source doesn't, but the closed source does00:10
asm`okay00:10
asm`but nonetheless00:10
asm`win 7 is smooooooooooooth00:10
asm`maybe not as much as linux.. but i mean.. you dont even have to install drivers00:10
monsteri heard it blue screens alot.00:10
asm`as long as you have a lan connection, it installs all your drivers for you as you plug stuff in00:11
sebsebsebasm`: of course you have to do drivers for Windows 7, also good luck trying to run a lot of older XP stuff00:11
sebsebsebasm`: you may find you can't just do that :) :D00:11
sebsebsebasm`: there solution for this issue is actsaully virtualization anyway off topic00:11
stickapotomusanyone in here ever use dual wireless cards with ubuntu?00:11
asm`sebseb: it comes with a free XP mode00:11
linxehasm`: you are lucky then. It was appauling in beta for us. haven't got retail  yet to see if things are btter00:11
sebsebsebasm`: yes that's what I am on about the xp mode00:11
sebsebsebasm`: which is really virtualization00:11
asm`windows isnt perfect, but they started 20 years ahead of linux00:12
asm`so they have market share, its not rocket science00:12
sebsebsebasm`: not exactly true00:12
nostalgicBadgerdepends on what you mean by "started"00:12
asm`well of course the windows kernel is based largely on unix00:12
asm`no doubt on that00:12
asm`but unix etc was always free00:12
sebsebsebasm`: well the Linux kernel is releasd in 1993 or so, but  Linux distros are based on Unix which goes back to the 70's when only clever companies used computers, anyway off topic00:12
sebsebseb!ot00:12
ubottu#ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks!00:12
asm`they gui'd it up and started charing00:12
linxehasm`: windows is hardly unix00:12
Chousukeunix wasn't always free either. :/00:13
asm`not even the kernel?00:13
erUSULsebsebseb: 1991 to be exact00:13
Hillshumasm`: Nope00:13
stickapotomusanyone have any issues with using dual wireless network cards in ubuntu?00:13
nostalgicBadgerwindows doesn't have the market share because it's older. windows has the market share because a five year old could install and run it00:13

stickapotomussebsebseb, just curious. this is my first foray into ubuntu and was wondering how this was all maintained. specifically, if this channel was an "official" support channel, so forth.00:24

PiciSee the /topic00:25
Ben64bigdavejoker: \ is pretty much the universal escaper00:25

bigdavejokerBen64 thanks thats what I tried but must not have used it correctly  thanks00:25

sebsebsebstickapotomus: yes it is an offical channal, but most people here  aren't  exactly linked to  Canaonical the company behind Ubuntu,  and most don't have the Ubuntu member status thingey00:25
stickapotomussebsebseb, i see. so this is mostly a user helping user channel, yes?00:25
durtdeinspanjer, either or, the server channel is mainly for server config mysql, LAMP etc.00:26
sebsebsebstickapotomus: yes volunters from all over the world, helping other people00:26
sebsebsebstickapotomus: or  users asking for help with their Ubuntu00:26

sebsebsebstickapotomus: pici is an op/admin of the channal by the way00:27
deinspanjerdurt: Hrm. I just posted the question there so I'll wait a bit rather than cross post.00:27
nostalgicBadgerbtw, linux being easy to install is a pretty recent development, and i'm not sure the market has caught on to it yet00:27
nostalgicBadgeri still had to use ndiswrapper to get the wireless drivers to work in Ubuntu Netbook Remix, on my netbook00:28

devonhey all anyone know how to fix the no sound in running wine apps?00:28
willluongoI am having difficulties getting my 8.04.3 installation on  my laptop to recognize the video card, I am pretty sure I will need to manually edit the xorg.conf, does anyone have any alternative solutions? It is an averatec 3200 series, with a Savage S3 (I am pretty sure)00:29
devonI'm trying to run steam counter strike and it loads but no sound in from it00:29
stickapotomussebsebseb: k, no more questions about support then - rather the actual question. has anyone ever had problems with the network applet in 9.04 of ubuntu showing the wireless network disconnected, but when you right click and view connection information it shows that is in fact, connected?00:29

willluongomagical_walrus: you should be able to use the image manager in the VM to resize it... might be able to use gparted from within the instance I suppose00:39
deinspanjersebsebseb: So by the same token, 8.10 is not just a patch release to 8.04? i.e. it isn't LTS either?00:39

deinspanjerPici: Ah, well that clarifies things then. :)00:40
sebsebsebdeinspanjer: 8.10 isn't a LTS, but  for desktop usage it's quite a lot better than 8.04 really, also for certain people it's better than 9.04 even,   but  9.10 is out on October 29th and that should be pretty good00:40
magical_walruswilluongo: There isn't an image manager in the emulator, just an image creator. I am using pearpc (with a legally obtained copy of OS X on it) on windows, and was hoping Ubuntu was capable of resizing .IMG files00:41

sebsebsebdeinspanjer:  I guess you can kind of convert the desktop version to the server version some how, but  in that case, that woudn't  exactly be recommended00:44
Picideinspanjer: 'proper server' is a very vague term.  Commerical companies don't want to upgrade their servers upgraded every 6 months, which is why we have an LTS release.00:44
sebsebsebPici: indeed and when I put proper server, I meant  for example commercial companies00:45

stickapotomusmicrohxo, what speed does your wireless connect at?00:45
pvl1magical_walrus, i think partition manager might00:45
stickapotomusmicrohxo, and what is your signal strength?00:45
deinspanjerI'm wanting a distro that is focused on stability and security releases rather than bleeding edge.00:45
microhxoDoes not say, just says connected, and the signal strength is about 45%00:45
deinspanjerI'm not a corporation, but I'm hosting stuff that is important to me and visible on the internet.00:46

phixPlasmaSheep: It is only the package that does this00:46
pvl1phix go to the netbeans irc, i doubt its an ubuntu thing00:46
phixPlasmaSheep: so why would I submit a bug report to netbeans?00:47
magical_walruspvl1, Thanks, I'll try that00:47
PlasmaSheepphix: Well, if it's a bug,.00:47
deinspanjersebsebseb: I'm not wanting to have a hybrid install, I just don't have media to put the server ISO on and boot from that.  I'm hoping I can install from within the 8.04 desktop environment.  I do have an external drive hooked up to it, but I can't make that bootable.00:47

VickiWongsebsebseb, the scheme was found here http://www.linuxmint.com/wiki/index.php/How_to_partition01:47
sebsebsebVickiWong: well  partition setups vary, there isn't one proper way to do it,  it depends on the user, and  what they are going to do on the computer01:48

tomas1one other question i have is there a way to upgrade firefox02:50
sebsebseb!ff35 |  tomas102:51
ubottutomas1: Firefox 3.5 Final is available for Jaunty by installing the package firefox-3.5 and firefox-3.5-gnome-support | FF3.5 is referred to as Shiretoko in your UI, see http://is.gd/1reB3 for an explanation | Hardy & Intrepid: http://is.gd/1jkNY02:51
prince_jammysMadSeaDog: if you'd like to understand how to use sed, /join #sed and read the guide in the channel topic.02:51
clearscreensebsebseb: Good for the channel, bad for my self-esteem! :D02:51
tomas1ok cool thankaa02:51
VickiWongarand, ok found the status file, but running that commands says dpkg: unknown option --rootdir02:52
tomas1i think i will just wait for the next ubuntu realese02:53

StupidWeaselHumm, have there been any big breakthroughts with the open ATI drivers since Jaunty was released?02:54

StupidWeaselSlowly slowly catchy monkey :)02:55
MadSeaDogprince_jammys,  ok  thanks for the hint...02:55
StupidWeaselI'm lucky in that I got used to headless linux before moving over to a linux desktop.02:55
StupidWeaselSeems a lot of people are doing it the other way around now.02:56
tomas1i like desktops02:56
StupidWeaselWhich is still great though, Ubuntu is friendly enough for you not to need the terminal :)02:56
tomas1yea but it is always good to learn02:57
arandVickiWong: the command would be --admindir and you'll need to find two files: status AND available ( both from /var/lib/dpkg/ ) then add them to a directory, and also create a updates/ folder in that diectory then run "dpkg --get-selections --admindir=/path/to/the/directory > package_slections_backup.txt"02:57
StupidWeaselOh yup, does not hurt.02:57

barqsHi, just a question guys. I have a main desktop using windows, with my printer, photoprinter, scanner, etc. connected, but I also have a laptop with Ubuntu 9.04 installed. Linux sees my windows network, and I can connect to the desktop perfectly, but how would I  be able to print from the laptop, if it's connected to the other computer?04:53
GuidMorrowI can't even record video with this thing04:53
_kurt_anyone have any idea how to chainload other mbr's from grub2 by any chance?04:53
LinuX2halflegend2440, well I'm sure its installed and working04:53
GuidMorrowfor some reason it throws exceptions, and then it tells me I don't have enough disk space04:53
biggleswirthwhen I boot up ubuntu, I can ssh into my account from another machine, but eventually, the connection drops and I have to reinitialize the ethernet interface. Anyone had similar problems?04:54
kahenbarqs: linux needs to have drivers to be able to output in a format the printer connected to the windows computer can understand04:54
GuidMorrowlast time I checked it said I had 155.2G space left04:54
dsnydersturbo964, There are two ways of doing this.  You could download the ubuntu cd, which runs on its own, or you could set up your machine to dual boot between vista and linux04:54
legend2440LinuX2half: is there a problem with it?04:54
brian__i need some help  for some reason when i hit alt-f2 the launcher doesnt start04:54
Scunizibinarycortex: that's a cunumdrum (sp?). you need the ubuntu cd in the drive to be able to burn but you need a blank in the drive to write to.. sounds like a second cd drive is in order unless someone else has a different solution04:54
prince_jammysGuidMorrow: my opinion of it wasn't too stellar, either, after very brief exposure.04:54
kahenbarqs: have you set up samba so you can see the desktop on the local network?04:55
vedeOkay... what do I do if I want to change the active source and sink and such in PulseAudio?04:55
binarycortexScunizi: its a laptop04:55
_kurt_or does anyone know a good way to do full disk encryption with booting multiple OSes that doesn't involve truecrypt?04:55
Scunizibinarycortex: that doesn't change anything.04:55
LinuX2halflegend2440, no, not exactly but whenever I watch a movie online fullscreen, it froze slightly on every frame.04:55
prince_jammysGuidMorrow: perhaps it has its own irc channel. it's not supported here.04:55
dsnydersturbo964, You could also look at a program called wubi04:55
turbo964dsnyders, so if  i download the cd will i not need to instal ubuntu? will i just burn it to a cd and run it from there?04:55
binarycortexScunizi: is there a way to boot the live cd, and use a custom command to tell it to boot from an iso on the harddrive04:55
turbo964what does wubi do?04:55
Scunizibinarycortex: why do you need to run checkdisk?04:56
LinuX2halflegend2440, I've heard that the flash player isn't very good so it had created such glitch04:56
bastid_raZorScunizi: binarycortex possibly make a usb install then the drive will be available.04:56
binarycortexbluescreen on boot, inaccessable boot volume04:56
binarycortexno usb drive04:56
barqskahen: linux seems to have setup Samba by itself, so I just go to places>network>windows network and connect from there. But when I try and add a network printer, it doesn't work for some reason04:56
barqskahen: Would you know how to fix this?04:56
kahenbarqs: system > administration > printing doesn't find it?04:56
dsnydersturbo964, yes, you boot to the CD and run ubuntu from there.  You will be somewhat limited in what you can do.04:57

Guest12250i have installed xp and ubuntu 9 on my laptop so how can i get files which are on xp desktop from ubuntu04:58

dabj01turbo964, if you live in college place, wa i'll come over and help you setup dual-boot right now04:58
dsnydersturbo964, wubi creates a version of ubuntu that runs as a windows app.04:58
legend2440LinuX2half: heres some info about that card. i use nvidia so not sure what may be wrong   https://help.ubuntu.com/community/i81004:58
binarycortexis there anyway to run wubi from within the live cd?04:58
Scunizibinarycortex: if you have enough room on your drive you could install ubuntu as a dual boot and take care of it that way.04:58
binarycortexperhaps04:59
turbo964ok but will be able to play games ok? i have an nvidia 7150M graphics card and need for speed carbon and most other games dont work well and someone told me to use ubuntu for gaming. in this case will i be able to play games with ubuntu and change back to vista for everything else? and what happens with my files and settings currently on vista?04:59

BeWopRHorse: How can I find this?05:27
dsnydersbiggleswirth, are you able to ping the router from the server?05:27
miguelonnnn hi i'm back, it works perfect at mine05:27
windyIs there anyone who is using ubuntu9.10?05:28
BeWopRHorse: or can I just not get it?05:28
miguelonnnnmust be your computer owen05:28
BeWopwindy: I am05:28
RHorsebewop it should be with your router printed material. If not, you can type iwlist wlan0 scanning and look at the output.05:28
alex_cSo, if I have an ATI Radeon X1200 (the kind that fglrx doesn't work for anymore) is there still any chance of getting working 3d acceleration?05:28
alex_cI'm using the radeonhd driver05:28
biggleswirthdsnyders: haven't tried that, I will have to wait for the issue to happen again in order to test that unfortunately05:28
BeWopRHorse: wlan0 isn't a command05:28
owen1miguelonnnn: i know, but how do i troubleshoot this?05:29
RHorsetype iwlist wlan0 scanning05:29
bastid_raZoralex_c: try the radeon driver05:29
biggleswirthdsnyders: I am not sure what triggers the problem05:29
windyBeWop,I find that the empathy is not working properly,what about yours?05:29
alex_c@bastid_raZor radonhd works better05:29
BeWopwindy: mine works fine05:29
dsnydersbiggleswirth, unfortunately, I'm going to have to close down now.  My eyes are starting to close on their own.05:30
bastid_raZoralex_c: then you know you can get 3d working already.?05:30
alex_cbastid_raZor still, how do I make the 3D magic happen05:30
windyoh,THX05:30
BeWopRHorse: it says: "Failed to read scan data : Resource temporarily unavailable"05:30
biggleswirthdsnyders: ok, no problem, you've given me some ideas. thanks for your help :)05:30

alex_cbastid_raZor Jaunty - when I've tried it, the screen whites out05:31
RHorsebewop now try the iwlist command again05:31
kain_anyone have a chance to help me with my sound problem, i was out for 5 min05:32
alex_cbastid_raZor I turned on compositing in my xorg config05:32
Wildbatarrr   , sorry but i forgot what do i do to install flashplasyer to Firefox....05:32
BeWopRHorse: That didn't work. If it helps, on my last install, it told me to install drivers to get the card working, but on this install, it didn't work. Same install CD.05:32
bastid_raZoralex_c: for me the radeonhd driver didn't work. i have the same card as you. using radeon driver compiz and 3d works05:33
RHorsebewop which card?05:33
alex_cbastid_raZor radeon didn't seem to detect my monitor settings - is there a way to fix that?05:33
BeWopRHorse: broadcom 802.11 b/g wlan05:33
RHorsebewop do you have an ethernet wire attached?05:34
BeWopRHorse: Yes05:34
bastid_raZoralex_c: settings as in resolution?05:35
alex_cbastid_raZor exactly05:35
RHorseBeWop try typing sudo iwconfig ath005:35
RHorsethen try iwlist ath0 scanning05:36
BeWopno such device05:36
bastid_raZoralex_c: you would have to add them to xorg.conf to force resolutions. but what resolution is it not allowing? is it on a laptop?05:36
BeWopRHorse: no such device and interface doesn't support scanning05:36
RHorsebewop, yes, it's prolly a driver issue05:36
BeWopI know,  but I don't know how to get that driver again05:37
BeWopRHorse: I know, but I don't know how to get that one back.05:37
KF5CLL#hamradio05:37
alex_cbastid_raZor yeah it's a laptop that's 13whatever by 768 - radeonhd picks it up no problem05:37
RHorsebewop restricted wireless driver? Not in the software repo gui thingy?05:38
alex_cbastid_raZor here's my lspci on it: ATI Technologies Inc RS780M/RS780MN [Radeon HD 3200 Graphics] [1002:9612]05:38
BeWopRHorse: Possibly. How do I check that?05:38
alex_cbastid_raZor I just got this machine today, so I think the hd driver is what I want05:39
RHorsebewop it should be under the menu system somewhere05:39

RHorseBeWop what is the model of that card?05:41
BeWopRHorse I found the screen that I saw earlier05:41
BeWopIt's the driver05:41
BeWopRHorse This'll fix it, thanks a lot05:41
RHorsebewop HIW!05:41
BeWopRHorse Oh, and it's BCM43xx if you were woundering05:42
bastid_raZoralex_c: add a modeline to xorg.conf ..i'm guessing 1280x800 is the highest the radeon driver will see?05:42
bastid_raZoralex_c: yeah.. that isn't the X1200 card you said earlier..05:42
BeWopRHose, thanks and see ya05:42
alex_cbastid_raZor is there no way to do compiz with radeonhd?05:43
alex_cbastid_raZor I thought they were mostly the same05:43
bastid_raZoralex_c: that i don't know. i'm looking in the community docs now.05:43
alex_cbastid_raZor my hunch is that it is incompatible with fglrx because I installed it and it didn't work - then again I bought the machine today05:44

bastid_raZoralex_c: i have the 5515 ..   look at this page.  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver  it includes the HD driver on that page.05:45
=== nabeel is now known as Guest85024
alex_cbastid_raZor so I nominally have the X1200 but the hd driver says otherwise05:47
alex_cbastid_raZor should I just hack out my own xorg.conf, then?05:47
alex_cand use radeon05:47
bastid_raZoralex_c: lspci tells you that you do not have the X1200 card. even when i had the radeonhd driver isntall it didn't change what card was detected.05:48
bastid_raZoralex_c:  VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RS690M [Radeon X1200 Series]  is the card i have.05:49
alex_chm05:49
alex_cbastid_raZor which driver are you using?05:49
bastid_raZoralex_c: radeon05:49
alex_caccording to http://www.geekwithlaptop.com/acer-aspire-5517-notebook I have that as well05:49
alex_cmaybe it's the HD driver misreading my chipset?05:50
bastid_raZoralex_c: from my understanding lspci doesn't care what driver you have but lookks at the hardware.. try sudo lshw   and see what that gives for your card.05:50

mikubuntui get into some windows boot manager but it doesn't seem to have a boot sequence option ,,, just asks to select os06:45

mikubuntugnea, ok, trying something brb prolly06:46
vedeIt seems like unnecessary hassle to me...06:46

vedeYeah, there's stuff there.06:48
lordnikongnea: yes it mounts just fine06:48
Gneavede: not sure if you understand how it works...   alsa is the main sound driver, and pulseaudio is just an application layer that goes between the sound device that alsa sets up and the other applications on the system06:49

buckytone_red, or sudo apt-get install chkconfig07:35
macoDarkebrz: um you can copy some files into wubi or you can ...hrm i guess you could setup /etc/fstab to automatically mount /dev/sda2 in a certain spot and tell audacious how to find those files for its library every time you boot07:35

Zachk18http://ppa-search.appspot.com/search?search_key_word=firebird07:59
gareim_Dr_Willis: I've already tried all Pulse like they said on the forums, and it didnt work. I'll try the Alsa one now, but do i choose Digital or Analog (theres two options for Alsa)08:00
dumontscrew firestarter, i didn't want a firewall, with a possibility that it would block traffic to my server since i don't want to get intimitate with the program, I just wanted to simply add a rule to the iptables to block a certain IP08:00
awaadDr_willis, popey: Yes I installed recordmydesktop but I don't know how to open it's gui I can't find it in the applications menu08:00

Zachk18ah...what exactly am i looking for?08:02
ActionParsnipZachk18: some of the links may have multiple PPAs which you will need to inspect, when you find a PPA you can add it to /etc/apt/sources.list08:02
ActionParsnipZachk18: firestarter wasnt it?08:02
Zachk18ah....yeah08:02
popeyawaad: you can actually run recordmydesktop from the command line, its quite flexible that way... I wrote a couple of blog posts about it recently. see http://popey.com/blog/08:02
ActionParsnipZachk18: so try find mentions of firebird in those PPAs08:03

qdbhow to redirect echo abc to file?08:21
mehediok08:21
Arc_Oriondumont, should work right away.08:21
prince_jammysqdb: if you want to match http:// but NOT http://domain.com, either use two greps or awk '/http:\/\// && !/http:\/\/domain.com' , or perl.08:21
prince_jammys[^(domain.com)] is the same as [^()acdimno.]08:21
ActionParsnipqdb: echo abc > ~/file.txt08:22
dumontthanks, btw why does it take like 4 seconds for iptables -L to display INPUT, and then 4 secs to display OUTPUT added entry?08:22
prince_jammysa single character that isn't any in the list08:22
Arc_OrionMake sure you save the config, as it says in the wiki.08:22

qdbhow to make what i want then08:29
prince_jammysqdb: if you want to match http:// but NOT http://domain.com, either use two greps or awk '/http:\/\// && !/http:\/\/domain.com' , or perl.08:29
prince_jammysqdb: you cannot negate 'domain.com' without using fancy perl regexes, or two traditional greps, or the awk command there, or something else08:30

Madpilotubottu, root | uman08:41
ubottuuman: 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/RootSudo08:41
ActionParsnipuman: use sudo and gksudo to get admin priveledges08:41
ActionParsnipuman: it makes your system a billion times more secure08:41
umanActionParsnip: I find it very difficult to believe that there is no way to set a root password in ubuntu08:41
ActionParsnipuman: there is but its not supported here08:41
industhere is but i cant tell you08:41
Madpilotuman, you can, but there's no need, and it's not supported...08:41
Zachk18there is a way to set a root password...08:41
umanwho cares08:41
dumontuman: did u want to switch to root user? type: su root08:41
dumontswitch user08:42
indusuman: google for it ,its pretty easy08:42
umanI didn't say I want to do it for any practical purpose08:42
Zachk18go to users/groups08:42
Dr_Williserr.  use 'sudo -s' to get a root shell.. NOT su root08:42
ActionParsnipuman: you can use: sudo -i08:42
umanI'm just curious08:42
Zachk18in administration08:42
ActionParsnipZachk18: dont its not supported08:42
Zachk18do you want to login as root or something on your pc?\08:42
Zachk18because that is possible..it's in the setting08:42
Dr_WillisDirect logging into X via GDM as root - is also disabled via gdm settings.08:43
hateballDr_Willis: I believe "sudo -i" is the prefered way to become root, if one would have to08:43
ActionParsnipZachk18: so are a lot of other destructive things but we dont support those either08:43
Dr_Willishateball:  -i  or -s depends on your needs.. i forget when i use one or the other.08:43
ActionParsniphateball: they are equal if no command is entered after -s08:43
hateballActionParsnip: Ah right :)08:43
Zachk18you go to system/adminstration/login window and you can change to login as root ability...how is that not supported if it's there?08:44
MadpilotZachk18, just because it's there doesn't mean it's even remotely a good idea08:45
Madpilots/there/possible08:45
ActionParsnipZachk18: its not necessary or required and is a VERY bad idea so we dont support it here08:45
indusZachk18: i agree with you08:45
Zachk18indus...you do?08:45
indusya08:45
ActionParsnipZachk18: its possible to rm -rf /lib but you dont advise that do you (DO NOT use that command)08:46
Dr_Willisso me 'formating my system and erasing eveyrthing by mistake'   "Is supported" because its doable?08:46
|Steve|Did you really tell someone that setting a root password is not supported?08:46
Dr_Willis:)08:46
uman^08:46
indusZachk18: its right there under users and groups, any average user will figure it out08:46
Dr_Willis!root08:46

Zachk18ok that's what i thought08:46
WinterWeaverI installed Kubuntu on top of Ubuntu, via synaptic. After playing, I prefer Ubuntu. How can I remove KDE again, since I cant untick the "task" in synaptic.08:46
|Steve|sudo passwd *gasp*08:46
maco!puregnome08:46
ubottuIf you want to remove all !KDE packages, type « sudo apt-get remove kdelibs4c2 kdelibs5-data && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop » into a !terminal08:46
Dr_Willisits amazing how much one can accidently trash  a system by just running a file manager as root.08:46
macoWinterWeaver: ^08:46
Zachk18i mean i have to if i want firebird to work do i not? because any documentation that i have so far found states to download it in root08:46
uman|Steve|: stfu it's not supported!08:47
ActionParsnipZachk18: also the devs of ubuntu whom arevery experienced engineers sat round and discussed this at length and decided it was a great idea to ave the account disabled.08:47
WinterWeaverthx maco08:47
Dr_WillisI think of it as a IQ test..if you know enough Linux to know that command.. then ya know enigh to know why its not a good idea08:47
Dr_WillisZachk18:  that sounds like some bad guides to me.08:47
ActionParsnipDr_Willis: +108:47
Zachk18well for some things it's a good idea to have it08:47
filistineis it a bit odd that Ubuntu would take 8 minutes to duplicate a 16GB file?08:47
indusDr_Willis: those who come from red hat lineage wont take well to that advice08:47
macofilistine: depends. command line or through a GUI?08:47
=== David-T_ is now known as David-T
umanDr_Willis: Do you really think knowing Linux commands is a measure of IQ?08:47
Zachk18filistine: no08:47
Dr_WillisZachk18:  if compiling stuff from source.. really only the 'sudo make install' command needs root access08:47
indusanyways off topic08:47
filistinei used the GUI - copy and paste08:48
Zachk18yeah but it doesn't work for me08:48
umanDr_Willis: BBBB?08:48
Dr_Willisuman:  yes. because you have to THINK about 'root has no password.. how to set it...' Thinking is key.08:48
umanoops08:48
filistinevery Windowsesque08:48
umanDr_Willis: Go impale yourself08:48
Dr_Willis'think, learnm apply'08:48
macouman: i think that was "if you have sufficient IQ and know what rm does...then its obvious why that command is bad"08:48
Zachk18i mean it can install and i know how to use the terminal but it comes back with errors.08:48
|Steve|Having a root password is not dangerous.08:48
Zachk18how is the chat red?08:48
macouman: oh wait i thought ou were referring to the rm command before08:48
Dr_WillisZachk18:  of course now everhting has gotten away from your actual problem08:48
umanDr_Willis: So I have lower IQ than you because I've never had occasion to change my password, so I didn't remember the passwd command from the top of my head?08:48
Madpilot|Steve|, no, but it's also not needed, and it's not how Ubuntu is set up08:49
Dr_Willisuman:  from your attitude.. yes I think so.08:49
maco|Steve|: eh.....remote attackers know that the username is root so they only have to guess password. default way they have to guess user & password08:49
indusuman: nvm now, you got the hint08:49
Zachk18goodness people don't shoot eachother08:49
ActionParsnip1maco: +108:49
Dr_Willismaco: +1008:49
|Steve|maco: Generally, ssh should disallow root. Of course, Ubuntu decided not to do that by default.08:49
ActionParsnip1Zachk18: its stupid and people advising people how to do stupid things are equal08:50
umanDr_Willis: you are the one who has an attitude, saying I am less intelligent than you because I didn't remember the name of the command to change password in linux08:50
Zachk18oh so i'm stupid now08:50
indusActionParsnip1: can i name a root user with another name? or is that just like sudo? or escalating privileges for some user?08:50
Dr_Willisuman:  did i point out you directly? Noo.. youa re the one that got all huffy..08:50
ActionParsnip1Zachk18: no just advising people how to significantly reduce their security really grinds my gears08:50
umanDr_Willis: I wonder if you have ever had sex in your life08:50
umanmasturbation doesn't count08:50
ActionParsnip1indus: no, root will always be root08:50

Zachk18uman shut up08:51
lexri preffer nano08:51
lexrin cli08:52
|Steve|maco: So now people just have to get the user's username (probably some combination of letters in his name) and password and they have root rather than getting the user name, password and root password.08:52
Dr_WillisI recall finding a Clone of the old dos edit (text editor) command  for linux But cant recall its name. anyone seen it? was on some live cd for some disrto i tested once.08:52
indusi have a nerve missing in my brain which makes me difficult to type commands for vi08:52
maco|Steve|: user & password versus password08:52
michael_hello08:52
|Steve|maco: Once again, disable root ssh and that takes away that line of attack.08:52
ChousukeDr_Willis: just use ed and experience the ingenuity of the '?' interface.08:52
Zachk18hey i'm sorry but having a root login is sometimes necessary because of file permissions08:53
Dr_WillisChousuke:  i actually had to use ed quite a bit years ago.08:53
|Steve|PermitRootLogin no in /etc/ssh/sshd_config.08:53
ActionParsnip1Dr_Willis: one of my mates cowers when you mention edlin08:53
MadpilotZachk18, I think that you do not understand sudo when you say stuff like that08:53
MadpilotNow, can we kindly move on?08:53
Dr_WillisI really like the 'fte' editor thats in the repos.. its often overlooked08:53
Zachk18yeah well shove it08:54
Dr_Willissudo - really has a lot of features that get overlooked.08:54
Chousuke|Steve|: I think on most systems there exist some local exploit that you can use to gain root anyway if you have access to any account.08:54
Zachk18i know that sudo is quite good.08:54
filistineis there a free Java html server that can be used on Linux with MySQL instead of PHP?08:54
|Steve|Chousuke: Probably so, but that's not an argument against having a root password.08:55
Chousuke|Steve|: but the thing is, if you have the root password enabled for most users it's just an extra burden.08:55
|-Gobi-|I just love linux... I just learned how I can mount remote fs, and use my test webserver with notepad under wine...08:55
=== FnorZ is now known as Schaehv
|Steve|I mean, I can always do sudo su -.08:55
ActionParsnip1|-Gobi-|: its that flexible :)08:55
Dr_Willissudo -s or sudo -i  please.. no need for 'sudo su'08:56
prince_jammysaka. sudo -i08:56
Dr_Willis|Steve|:  using notepad.exe to edit linux config files = can cause issues with the extra carrage return/line feeds08:56
Chousuke|Steve|: Most of the time if you get rooted it's not because someone guesses your password, anyway.08:56
|Steve|Ah, sure. -i.08:56
|Steve|Dr_Willis: Um, okay. I don't run windows, but good to know.08:56
ActionParsnip1Dr_Willis: The -s (shell) option runs the shell specified by the SHELL environment variable if it is set or the shell as specified in passwd(5). If a command is specified, it is passed to the shell for execution. Otherwise, an interactive shell is executed08:57
Dr_Willis|Steve|:  why in the world would you want to use notepad in wine? :)08:57
|Steve|Chousuke: Well, all they have to do is guess my user password if I'm in the sudoers file.08:57
prince_jammys|Steve|: perhaps part of the reason is that many new ubuntu users would right away start running as root.08:57
|Steve|Dr_Willis: I don't. What are you talking about?08:57
Chousuke|Steve|: well, yes, but your user password should be as strong as your root password.08:57
MadpilotDr_Willis, wrong user. it's08:57
prince_jammys|Steve|: given that so many come from windows, where that's what they're used to.08:57
Dr_WillisOh that was for |-Gobi-|  :)08:57
Dr_Willisheh08:57
|Steve|Chousuke: So again, not an argument for disabling root.08:57
Dr_Willisyou leet haxors and your | in the nicks08:58
|Steve|prince_jammys: I don't see why they would.08:58
codeshahhey guys, how do I install pdo_mysql for PHP?08:58
|Steve|prince_jammys: But the account they created would be the one they use.08:58
|-Gobi-|Dr_Willis: I ment notepad++08:58
ActionParsnip1|Steve|: if you have root disabled then they must guess a username which is a member of the admin group as well as the password, with root the username is already known08:58
Chousuke|Steve|: the main argument for disabling root is that is simplifies things and makes the system more flexible.08:58
Dr_Willis|-Gobi-|:  i find the native linux editors   best :)08:58
maxb*blink* "more flexible" !??!08:58
prince_jammys|Steve|: in any case, enabling it is easy.08:58
|Steve|More flexible, in what way?08:58
Chousuke|Steve|: using sudo allows greater control over who has access to what.08:58
ActionParsnip1codeshah: http://www.theatons.com/ubuntu-install-php5-mysql-apache2-ssl-pdo-pdo_mysql08:59

Dr_Willis'define supported'  :)08:59
SubdolusHello all. I have two wifi cards in my laptop. When I plug the second USB one in, it automatically associates with the same AP configured for the original card. If this isn't annoying enough, when I configure the second card using the command line (promisc mode for eg), the Network Manager takes it upon itself to reset the settings after a while. How can I stop Network Manager or whatever doing this? Just make it ignore a specific interface?08:59
prince_jammys|Steve|: as in "not recommended" here08:59
Dr_Willissupport is such a vague term in so many ways08:59
|Steve|Not supported by ubuntu and not recommended in #ubuntu are two very different things.08:59
Chousukethe root user has access to everything, so there's no point in keeping the root account around if you're trying to make the permissions system more fine-grained.08:59
Chousuke|Steve|: not supported as in, if you do it, you're on your own.09:00
Dr_Willisas in the support people wont tell you to do it.. perhaps..09:00
prince_jammys|Steve|: not recommended. not supported in the sense that if people who come here start enabling root and causing mayhem (which they will), we don't want to deal with it.09:00
zaggynlmeh, just disable remote root login09:00
|Steve|Enabling root hasn't caused me a single problem.09:01
|Steve|zaggynl: Yeah, that's what I said.09:01
ActionParsnip1|Steve|: yet09:01
Flannel|-Gobi-|: Check out SCiTE instead (it's in the repos).  It's what Notepad++ uses for all the text stuff, so you should feel at home with it.09:01
Chousuke|Steve|: what has it gained you, though?09:01
prince_jammys|Steve|: so since it's easy to enable for those who know and want to, they already probably have the know-how not to cause mayhem.09:01
zaggynleither you're going to use sudo or so09:01
|Steve|ActionParsnip1: You forgot the *dun dun dun* after that.09:01
Chousuke|Steve|: a false sense of security?09:01
zaggynlif they find a user within the wheel group you're screwed anyway09:01
maxb"there's no point in keeping the root account around" <--- this is nonsensical, the concept of root is embedded into Linux right down to the kernel, you can't just rip it out09:01
|Steve|Chousuke: An ability to log into my computer when I couldn't log in as my user.09:01
ActionParsnip1|Steve|: if you have it disabled your system is more secure09:01
Chousukemaxb: no.09:01
maxbChousuke: yes.09:01
Chousukemaxb: the root account is pointless. all that matters in the superuser privileges.09:02
|Steve|ActionParsnip1: No one has demonstrated that.09:02
|-Gobi-|Flannel: ty for the tip, i'll give a try09:02
Chousukemaxb: and sudo provides a perfectly fine way of accessing that.09:02
Flannel|Steve|: This channel assumes you have the root account disabled, we provide support as if it's disabled because it means we don't have to ask silly questions with every single person who has a problem related to it.09:02
maxbChousuke: sudo provides a perfectly fine way of accessing the root account, yes09:02
ActionParsnip1|Steve|: the root account is common to all nix systems so all an attacker has to do is guess the password, if it is disabled, an attacker has to exactly guess a username as well as the password09:02
Chousukemaxb: superuser privileges don't equal the root account.09:03
ActionParsnip1|Steve|: you have halved the work needed to be done09:03
maxbChousuke: actually, they rather do09:03
Chousukemaxb: having a root account in this case means you can login as root.09:03
|Steve|ActionParsnip1: For the third time, disallow remote root login.09:03
FlannelHowever, everyone, the root vs sudo discussion is offtopic for this channel.  If you'd like to continue it, may I suggest a change in venue to #ubuntu-offtopic?  Thanks09:03

ActionParsnip1|Steve|: you cant boot into anything without a bootloader, grub is your bootloader09:09

ActionParsnip1|Steve|: its the default, you havent stated you were using anything different09:10
CatEaterwhat do people usually run ubuntu on? i can't get vbox working on windows xp09:10

Dr_Williswizzo50:  go to places-> comptuer. right click & properties on any icon09:11
ActionParsnip1|Steve|: again, please provide better information so we dont have to guess09:11
|Steve|Flannel: By barely works, I mean that I've never successfully gotten the yaboot prompt.09:11
Dr_WillisCatEater:  virtualbox works very well for me on windows.. perhaps check #windows or the vbox homepage/forums09:11
ActionParsnip1CatEater: its fine for virtualisation09:11
|Steve|ActionParsnip1: I'm not asking for help, I merely asked if single user mode were possible without grub. You were the one who kept insisting that I was using grub.09:12
Dr_WillisCatEater:  or try vmware. (a little harder to use)09:12
Flannel|Steve|: The answer to that is yes.09:12
CatEaterActionParsnip1: how do i view what's on the display though?09:12
|Steve|Flannel: Right, thanks.09:12
CatEateri guess it's fine if i don;'t need to see what's happening09:12
ActionParsnip1CatEater: you boot the virtualbox up and the display is shown09:12
ActionParsnip1CatEater: the default is to display the desktop09:13
Dr_WillisCatEater:  it works perfectly fine here. i see the display just fine. Your windows system is goofed up sounds like to me.09:13
CatEaterActionParsnip1: it's shown for a brief time, then it disappears09:13
ActionParsnip1CatEater: are you sure you arent running vmware?09:13
CatEaterActionParsnip1: it's vbox 3.0.409:13
Dr_WillisVmware- is a beast of another  type.09:13

CatEaterDr_Willis: at some point, i actually managed to install ubuntu09:14
ActionParsnip1CatEater: did you md5 check theiso you are using?09:14
CatEaterpretty sure it's booting from hard drive now09:14
ActionParsnip1the iso*09:15
CatEateri went through the whole install process09:15
CatEaterok how do i check iso09:15
ActionParsnip1!md5 | CatEater09:15
ubottuCatEater: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows09:15
ActionParsnip1CatEater: you have no way of knowing the iso is correct yet you still used it? md5 checks give you assurance the image is good and hasnt been damaged during download09:15
CatEaterthose instructions aren't for windows09:16
CatEateri can't use them09:16
markomy sound is not working properly. it was working fine until i tried to shut down my PC and then the screen went black but never shut off. i then forcibly shut it off. next time i switched it on, the sound is not working when it is starting up or with most programs (except with Jukebox and Totem Movie Player09:16
markocan someone help me?09:16
CatEaterthey all have a $ prompt09:16

CatEaterfound what again?09:20
celthundermarko what kind of sound device is it09:20
CatEateri just downloaded a windows md5sum utuility09:20
CatEaterwhy did i do that again?09:20
Dr_WillisYou tell us...09:20
CatEateri used the verify cd function in the iso before i installed, so why do i need to verify it again?09:21
CatEateri used a good cd image09:21
CatEaternow, how do i view my vbox window?09:21
Dabianubotu whats the current version of ubuntu?09:21

DabianI'm running the current version of Ubuntu, but I need to upgrade my Open Office Org to 3.1 (from 3.0) ... is there a package I can download, or must I do a manual install?09:22
ActionParsnip1CatEater: its still good to verify the ISO BEFORE burning. Otherwise you may waste a disk. It also means you can be sure the ISO you are using is good09:22
ActionParsnip1Dabian: http://webupd8.blogspot.com/2009/05/install-openoffice-31-in-ubuntu-jaunty.html09:23
celthundermarko okay, i'm assuming you checked alsamixer made sure nothing is muted etc?09:23

CatEaterActionParsnip1: burning? aaaaaahahahahaha09:23
CatEatermaybe when i can afford a burner09:23
Flannel!ooo | Dabian09:23
CatEaterthey're like $8009:23
ActionParsnip1CatEater: its still necessary to verify the file09:23
ubottuDabian: a free and open source office suite that includes word processor, spreadsheet, presentation, vector drawing and database components. To install: "sudo apt-get install openoffice.org". For (unofficial) repositories containing OpenOffice.org 3, see https://launchpad.net/~openoffice-pkgs/+archive/ppa. User help available in #openoffice.org.09:23
CatEaterActionParsnip1: i did already verify though09:23
ActionParsnip1CatEater: bad file gives bad install09:23
DabianActionParsnip1: Thanks!  Looks like I might have googled it ... :)09:23
CatEaterthe file teself has a verification utility, which i used09:24
DabianThanks again, Flannel!09:24
CatEateritself09:24
ActionParsnip1CatEater: then uninstall virtualbox, remove .virtualbox from your profile and reinstall09:24
CatEaterActionParsnip1: how do i "remove .virtualbox from your profile"?09:24
ActionParsnip1CatEater: yes but testing the iso outside of that is needed too09:24
markocelthunder: im pretty sure i've done that and it wasn't working properly. ive unmuted everything but when i play a sound, a faint static sound happens09:24
markoi thought it was hardware related, but Jukebox and Totem Movie Player works perfectly09:25
ActionParsnip1CatEater: you have a folder for the settings for virtualbox in your windows profile, i think its in local settings\application settings I'm not sure, search your profile for it09:25
CatEaterok, kill vbox, delete vbox settings, reinstall vbox09:26
celthundermarko so what program produces static?09:26
ActionParsnip1CatEater: that folder holds all settings and hdd images of your virtual box, if you delete it you will get blank settings, if yu uninstall virtualbox you will then have a system that has never heard of the app and you can reinstall it from the beginning09:26
CatEaterWTF09:27
dpozegaHi guys, is there a command line application which could show me which application is writing what to the disk?09:27
CatEater"You must type a file name."09:27
CatEaterok... how do i rename the vbox settings folder?09:27
markocelthunder: pretty much everytime i try play sound using any program (even when the laptop is starting up) it plays a really faint static. only time it doesnt is if im using Jukebox or Totem, but i can't use both at the same time coz then i lose sound once again09:27
ActionParsnip1CatEater: it will be in: Documents and Settings\username\Application Data09:27
CatEaterwindows won't let me09:27
CatEaterit says: "You must type a file name."09:27
ActionParsnip1CatEater: you need to delete .VirtualBox in there (close virtual box first)09:28
CatEaterhow do i rename instead of delete?09:28
ActionParsnip1CatEater: then use add remove programs to uninstal the app09:28
ActionParsnip1CatEater: right click the folder -> rename09:28

pradeepfor example: if my friend types http://192.168.8.232/src09:46
bgyDr_Willis, where could i find about this  ? is there a preference box to do thaT ?09:46

MarcoPauhello, I just accidentally erased the content of /etc/init.d/... is there any way to recover?09:46
ActionParsnip1pradeep: as long as he is connected to your wan, yes09:46
ActionParsnip1s/wan/lan09:47
Dr_Willisbgy:  i recall some Templates Dirctory. but i forget what you put in there.. perhaps a blank doc of the type you want.09:47
pradeepyeah both are connected to the wan.??09:47
ActionParsnip1pradeep: so if s/he is connected to your network, that will work09:47
bgyDr_Willis, thanks, i'll take a look about this09:47
pradeepwat should he do then?09:47
ActionParsnip1pradeep: if you are at your house and your friend is at his/her house then that ip will not work09:47
Dr_Willisbgy:  under create documents -> no templates installed. It looks in that dir for those.09:47
pradeepdo i need to share any folder as such09:47
pradeepi know that it wont work. i mean on the local area network or the intranet09:48
ActionParsnip1pradeep: you need to setup virtual server / port forwarding on your router to allow the traffic through09:48
m__has there any way to change the system without command???????09:48
pradeepActionParsnip1: how to do that:-)09:48
ActionParsnip1pradeep: then your friend will connect to the wan ip of your router and the data will be forwarded to the correctinternal system09:48
m__ has there any way to change the system  language without command???????09:49
ActionParsnip1pradeep: it varys wildly from router to router. dig out your manual09:49
prince_jammyssyntax error: too many question marks.09:49
bgyDr_Willis, Is he templates directory in ~/.nautilus ?09:49
bgyt*09:49
ActionParsnip1m__: you have to issue some command to get the language canged, computers respond only to inputs09:49
prince_jammysm__: probably. the locale URL didn't work for you?09:49
pradeepActionParsnip1: There s a application called Meiga which allows you to share folders over http. y won that work?09:50
Dr_Willisbgy:  its right in my Users Home directory here.,09:50
bgyDr_Willis, i just found it ~/Templates09:50
ActionParsnip1pradeep: bad config, is meiga a windows program?09:50
ActionParsnip1!info meiga09:50

pradeepActionParsnip1: Anyways i will try messing up with my router and try. The only problem is I am on a college wifi. so i have to get permission to access the router page and do the config09:54

nikolamindus, I had to look some webcast the other day. After java not working in any browser on Ubuntu, I had to install opensolaris to just see webcast and that sucked.10:31
jasajbu_, well i think it's enabled by default atleast on 64bit environment but not sure about 32bit ones and on Fedora there were some optional kernels around at some point.10:31
indusnikolam: give me that webcast link10:31
tvashthey jasa indus .. i just removed flashplayer-nonfree and its working now. didn't install anything new. not even that file i dl from ur link.10:31

jbu_I feel like it's a simpler solution than that10:32
industvasht: hmm well ok then if that makes you happy10:32
jbu_ubuntu should just detect my 4GB of memory, it has before10:32
tvashtindus, jasa why did that happen?10:32
jasajbu_, but i checked "pae" on synaptic and only thing i see on list for 64bit one is xen thing that says "This version of the hypervisor is built with support for systems with up to4GB of memory."10:32
jbu_jasa, not using xen10:32
industvasht: iam not sure what your problem was btw10:32
jbu_though I want to10:32

indusnikolam: try install icedtea-gcjwebplugin10:34
tyocubuntu 9.4 comes with python2.6 but I need to install python-yaml to 2.5, how I can do it?10:34
tyocit is installed to 2.610:34
jasajbu_, well if you have x86 environment only and need the 4gb support it could go towards the thing you need to configure and compile your own kernel with physical address extension enabled.10:34
industyoc: you need to compile it with 2.510:35
tvashtjasa, indus thanks thank you so much. that was very helpful10:35
nikolamindus, already installed, wiil try to reinstall.10:35

lowlycoderis -log(-x) concave or conex?10:36
blackmoonjbu_: for 4gb of ram you must use 64-bit version10:36
industvasht: well,if u didnt install 64 bit,then u are running 32 bit with nspluginwrapper10:36
industvasht: i suggest try the 64 bit,crashes much less10:37
jbu_blackmoon, why? 32bit should be enough (2^32)10:37
tvashtindus, k thanks10:37
wobue110:38
blackmoonjbu_: no as jasa sayd, with 32bit you must enable PAE in the kernel, otherwise with 64bit you must do nothing10:38
jbu_blackmoon, ok I'll try it, thanks10:38

IledenHi! I'm using Aspire One (with UNR), and I have the Storage Expansion slot as constantly connected storage space. However, I've just learned that this disables my ability to suspend the machine! A Gentoo Wiki page references this problem, and suggest using LVM on the SD card - after that resume should work. I'm not familiar with LVM and the documentation on it goes really technical - it seems like a partition abstraction layer of sorts. I am familiar with partiti11:17
balacould someone tell me who maintains the kernel debug packages for ubuntu? (the ones found here http://ddebs.ubuntu.com/pool/main/l/linux/ )11:18

Spike1506i was wondering if it is possible to make aliases on a ubuntu server11:19
IledenActionParsnip1: yeah, seems really techy. It'd be great to know whether I can use LVM on the SD card only, without messing with the rest of the system...11:19
obstjasa, I will reinstall the driver now. I looked at the logs but the only thing I can find is a couple of warnings in Xorg.0.log: "(WW) AIGLX: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x23" They continue up to 0x72.11:20
IledenActionParsnip1: Of course, I'd like to know whether it's just too messy solution to even start researching in the first place - but then again I'm the only one that can answer that. :)11:20

Dr_Willispranav:  the 'users' option lets users mount/unmount it.. You need to use the proper uid/gid/ options or umask/dmask/fmask options to set the proper permissions11:55
pranavDr_Willis, how can I make it read/write by everyone ?11:56
Dr_Willisumask=007,gid=4611:56
Dr_Willispranav:  as i said.. USE the proper options11:56
ribatejometacity --replace did not restore my gnome desktop11:56
Dr_Willisumask=007 might do it...11:56
ribatejoxsession errors had errors regarding policies and permisions..11:57
ribatejoremoving gnome soon11:57
pranavDr_Willis, I am on the wiki page of fstab, but what does the 007 and 46 Implies ?11:58
Dr_Willis007 is the umask option thats used to set the file permissions by default11:59
Dr_Willisgid sets the default group who owns the files11:59
pranavDr_Willis, does 007 means 111 which is RW_11:59
Dr_Willis007 sets everything to --> -rwxrwxrwx   here11:59
Dr_Willisive seen examples use umask=0000 also or 022212:00
Dr_Willistry the diffrent #'s and see what changes. :) that one way to learn it12:00
Dr_Willishttp://www.linuxsecurity.com/content/view/117255/  umask tutorial12:01
pranavDr_Willis, Ok :) I have sda1 which is NTFS so what do I do to automount it ?12:01
pranavDr_Willis, different is ?12:01
IledenCallum_, Madpilot: So the idea seems to be to create a volume group (VG) on the disk, then creating a logical volume (LV) on it. Is this LV then then something that can be formatted as ext3? Can that then be mounted with fstab regularly, or do I need to use some LVM system to mount it?12:01
Dr_Willispranav:  change fileysstem to ntfs instead of vfat12:01
pranavDr_Willis, thats it ?12:02
Dr_Willispranav:  bsaically12:02
pranavDr_Willis, :)12:02
Dr_Willis and have the proper umask and other options12:02
MadpilotIleden, I honestly can't remember. I set my current LVM arrangement up a year ago, and have since forgotten all the gory details... sorry.12:02
Dr_Willis777 Default Permissions12:02
Dr_Willis-022 Subtract umask value, for example12:03
Callum_Ileden: I think so12:03
Dr_Willis=755 Allowed Permissions12:03
* Callum_ checks his /etc/fstab of his CentOS server12:03
Dr_WillisIve never understood why theres just not a 'filepermissions=755' option...12:03
Dr_Willisbut i guess thers some OLD skool grandfathered in logic to it12:04

grawitycornet: Disabling PAM?12:36
davideHi, Is it a known issue that Ubuntu 9.04 no longer connects to my network/internet after suspend function is used?12:36
cornetgrawity: yes, or reconfigure PAM so that it doesn't allow passwords over ssh12:36
humancompi m using 9.054 remix and its12:36
humancompworking correctly12:37
cornetgrawity: if you've set a password for a user then even if you disable password auth in sshd_config it will STILL let you log in with a password as it'll pass PAM authentication12:37
grawitycornet: No, reconfigure _sshd_ - by disabling PasswordAuthentication.12:37
i00nsuikonia: how? send me a link that explain that for me please12:37
DefineBytecornet: it's just, i've got a kernel without iptables configured and I thought it would be safest. I've already setup keys, disabled root login, disabled passwords. I'll look into PAM. thanks.12:37

jac0bi was reading about the new 2.6.31 kernel. Can I get that on jaunty?13:18
chrisbloz_: try hdparm -T /dev/sda13:19
Dr_WillisWhen you specify the option --device-map (see Basic usage), the grub shell creates the device map file automatically unless it already exists. The file name /boot/grub/device.map is preferred.13:19

grawityAvahi does three things: 1) Zeroconf (link-local address assignment) handled by avahi-autoipd. 2) Service advertisement (mDNS) handled by avahi-daemon. 3) Multicast DNS resolving handled by avahi-dnsconfd (I think).15:47
ubuntuclearscreen, I want to do that too15:48

RHorsePerryArmstrong sorry! the command is espeak, not esound. My bad15:49

clearscreenubuntu: I would assume you can do the same with one of those minimal cd images, but it has annoyed me in the past that I couldn't get a blank install with my larger cd image15:49
sipiorgrawity: service advertisement. the point is, the client must have a way of selecting the services proffered. the original question was whether avahi can be used to advertise nfs shares. the answer is yes.15:50

The_Jagkarakh: me too, :( thanks btw!!!16:58
erUSULAFLunatic: as i said i dunno could be a kernel bug or problem with your hardware. check that all ide cables and power lines are plugged ok. check your hard disks etc... if everything is ok (i.e. other OSes work just fine) then is a kernel bug. in that case try another ubuntu version and/or report it16:59

erika1984thats the problem18:57

pshrLus, did you go through man pages, it'd have enough :P18:58
APirateIsFreepshr, so the bigger the swap is the less ram you need as the ram can dump it self more often?18:58
Gnearich_dnb: okay?18:58

sebsebsebVickiWong: and yes you got to add that  user  in the install20:12
sebsebsebjess12345: have you tried xfix in recovery mode?20:12
Dr_Willisvarunthacker:  im not sure thats even possible in software to controll that.20:13
DasEiBache: so you got the name of the *.deb ?20:13
jess12345sebsebseb: like start x ?20:13
VickiWongarand, do you know if i use the same user details will any settins be lost/reset/recreated ?20:13
grawityVickiWong: All your settings are stored inside your homedir.20:13
varunthackerthere is an option in windows sadly20:13

arandsebsebseb: VickiWong: I'm looking around and there seems to be no info on reclaiming a separate /home, only how to make it, annoying.20:14
Dr_Willisvarunthacker:  sounds  like a good way to end up with a dead battey when you need it. Never seen that feature.. Must be specifi to that specif brand laptop/bios/mb20:14

mattgyverIs there a way that I can monitor the CPU temperature via command line live, so that as the temp changes i see it in the terminal?20:14
sebsebsebjess12345: the one you should be able to get into from the boot loader20:14
jess12345sebsebseb: i am on command line mode ?20:14
sebsebsebjess12345: that should put  x  back to default,  also  removing  any graphics card driver you put on20:14
varunthackerlenovo r61.20:14
VickiWonggrawity, thats right, but as im making a new user with the same name im hoping it wont touch anything in /home20:14

ubottuWubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug.20:25

Guest2717sebsebseb: how come?20:25
AFLunaticI've been trying to install it for 13 and a half hours now20:25

mattgyverpw-toxic, did you create samba users for these 'public' users.  I note that only pw-toxic has access to any of these shares.20:26
dragonGuest2717, sebsebseb: I disagree that wubi isn't a good idea. I think it is a good start.20:26

Guest2717sebsebseb: then i should go back to xp and uninstall wubi20:26
Loaferskhafra, you using jaunty?20:26
sebsebsebGuest2717: better to do real partitions,   but if Wubi is working for you,  maybe keep it for now to try Ubuntu,  and then put  9.10  on when it's released, with nice default rather fast to bootup  Ext4 file system by default :)20:26

Sidewinder1Geschiest!20:28
pw-toxicmattgyver, or did i misunderstand something?20:28
dragonGuest2717: let's troubleshoot your wireless issue instead. If it doesn't work on wubi, it probably wouldn't work on an actual install. Running live from a CD would be the best way to determine that.20:28

fishbulbsascha  powertop is pretty cool, I like how it suggests thigns to correct based on its readings23:24
ActionParsnipBlackViper2: then you can type: !<whatever> is <some description>23:24
sascha_e1nh4nd3r, afaik thats the normal behaviour, but i think it can also be told to write into some file23:24
BlackViper2ActionParsnip, cool23:24
BlackViper2thanks23:24
kudifor those of you who use your chat client for aim,irc, yahoo etc etc....are you using pidgin or is there something lighter23:24
WaterRatjNo not yet23:24
fccfActionParsnip: BlackViper2: you have to have a registered nick on freenode though23:24
ActionParsnipBlackViper2: dont go adding random stuff, its a waste of time as the admins need to review submissions23:24
BlackViper2ok23:24
sebsebsebWaterRatj: ok  Wubi or Virtual machine23:25
WaterRatjWubi23:25
ActionParsnipkudi: pidgin is pretty light23:25
omgdKudi23:25
sebsebsebWaterRatj: virtual machine may be better for now as in before 9.10 is released, how much RAM do you have?23:25
omgdBitlbee irc server23:25
omgdUse wubi23:25
phoenixhousewhat type of file system should I use for the swap and / partitions?23:25
omgdIts awsome23:25
sascha_fishbulb, powertop is also being integrated into gnome's power manager.23:25

BlackViper2i cant burn cd's and i dont have a usb drive and i used unetbootin to do my distro hopping23:26

test_empathyOk, Empathy seems to work.  I didn't get it to download a list of chatrooms, but had to join this channel manually by typing in #ubuntu.  Bug?  Feature (that I don't understand) or misconfiguration?  Pidgin shows room/channel lists when I'd expect to see them...23:29

xTheGoat121xI'm still on Intrepid and I'm wondering if there's a specific setting in my .gtkrc file or something to set the colors for notification-daemon23:30
phoenixhouseA Question: I am in the manual partitioner, trying to create a swap partition - the bottom option says Mount Point and gives the options to select "/", "/boot", "/home", "/tmp", "/usr", "/var", "/srv", "/opt", and "/usr/local". --which to i choose to be able to use it as a swat? or does it matter??23:30
RichiVctmjr: ty23:30
DarkebrzOkay, Im trying to copy some files that are on my Windows partition (which appears to be /dev/sda2, but is "mounted" on /host). I can access it with cd /host, but then I can't navigate into any further directories. How would I do this?23:31
phoenixhouseand what file system should be used? does it matter?23:31
sebsebsebWaterRatj: well  you could find out about that netinstall to do a more proper set up,  but if I was you I woudn't bother  finding out loads about that,  before  Ubuntu 9.10 is released at the end of October.  With  the fast to boot and shutdown Ext4 file system by default :)  10 seconds or so boot up yeah :).  So you can do 9.04 with Wubi whilst waiting for that,  and  then netinstall for 9.10.  Or do 9.10 with Wubi   which as far as I know23:31
sebsebsebwon't be using Ext4.23:31
sebsebsebWaterRatj: when I  looked into netinstall a bit, and  someone was telling me  about it,  it seemed a bit complacted23:31
DasEiDarkebrz: try without / in front, like /host$ :  cd windows23:32
ctmjrRichiV: no problem23:32
WaterRatjOkay thanks for the help :D23:33
sebsebsebWaterRatj: ok so what you going to do?   Wubi 9.04 and then?  oh yeah and no probs23:33
WaterRatjYeah prolly, its just for testing purpose anyway, but only downside is, no wayfor wubi for minimal installation23:34
omgdIs there anyway to sync ipodtouch on ubuntu?23:35
sebsebsebWaterRatj: well you can remove stuff that has been installed  by default, from it23:35
sebsebsebWaterRatj: I think23:35
DarkebrzDasEi: I'm sorry, I really don't understand. I'm just trying to navigate directories. What is '/host$ : cd windows' supposed to do?23:35
kevdogDarkebrz: What are you trying to do23:36
DarkebrzIm trying to navigate the directories of my windows partition23:36
DasEiDarkebrz: you said it's mounted on /host,  so first cd /host,  then cd windows or whatever you have23:36
kevdogWhen you cd to /host -- whats listed when you do a ls -la or dir statement23:37
grkblood13what is a good log viewer?23:37

LinuxGoldphoenixhouse: how much RAM do you have?23:38
phoenixhouse3gb23:38
grkblood13LinuxGold, i need something to convert timestamps23:38
LinuxGoldit is practical to mach swap file with RAM size23:38

ubottuswap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info23:38
LinuxGolds/mach/match/23:38
sebsebsebWaterRatj: Did I actsauly go on webpages regarding the netinstall hmm,  anyway good luck23:38
sebsebsebWaterRatj: with Wubi23:38
kevdogDarkebrz -- Ok so what if you just do from the host directory a cd <directory_name>23:39
LinuxGoldphoenixhouse: If I were you, I would split into 3 Gb each, inactivate 1 and turn it on when needed.23:39
Darkebrzkevdog: Oh thanks, that worked :P23:39
phoenixhousei never thought of that23:39
kevdogDarkebrz: You may also be running into a permissions problem -- meaning that you will need to be the owner and group23:39
phoenixhouse:)23:39
WaterRatjsebsebseb: Hmm, my desktop has option boot from usb but when i burn iso to stick it won't boot? you know how this would be caused?23:40
sebsebsebWaterRatj: put USB has the first boot device,  and make sure you put  Ubuntu on properly onto the USB stick, then it should work I guess23:40
sebsebseb!usb |  WaterRatj23:40
ubottuWaterRatj: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent23:40
LinuxGoldphoenixhouse: If you NEVER used that 2nd swap, use it for music files ;)23:41
sebsebsebWaterRatj: ,but  yes  installing from USB  stick or  using a persistent  USB install, would be better than using Wubi23:41

LinuxGoldcool23:50
sebsebsebeboyjr: in 9.04, because they don't have a proper kernel for it, and so people can for example get a lockup issue when deleting big files, and so on23:50

sunshinepantsis there a bug open for intermittent filesystem corruption on jaunty x64? see it with stock kernel & latest from mainline ppa23:56

I want to install ubuntu on it, however, since the cd drive doesn't work, I tried unetbootin to use a live usb, however the laptop doesn't work with usb.
