[00:48] dumont: no it doesn't, when you reboot it'll be cleared [00:48] dumont: generally you either write a script to load them on boot or use some other tool like firestarter === Xoop is now known as Xap === emmy is now known as emma [00:49] dumont: /etc/iptables [00:50] !livecd [00:50] The Ubuntu Desktop CD is a "LiveCD" which can be run without altering existing files on your harddrive.

[00:54] like, getting ipod to connect, play podcasts, install virtualbox, install windows applications through wine [00:55] so how do you guys cope with this?? [00:55] Hey, I have a question [00:55] im having trouble starting up tint2 when i type it in the terminal it acts like its not installed [00:55] suman: sounds like you're more frustrated with Microsoft and Apple products [00:55] or do you guys use linux along with other OS in the side [00:55] suman: well not everyone does exactly the same thing [00:55] When I install a theme, for exemple this one http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Murrine+Grey+Blue?content=98752 [00:55] hi, is there an open source tool to administrate an apache2 server? for example for creating subdomains.. ftp user etc? [00:55] It does not look like on the screen ? [00:55] well, i i do agree, apple and Ms should have better support for linux [00:56] suman: i cope with it by not buying products from companies with a vested interest in making me not choose Linux. [00:56] mneptok: i agree with you... but sometimes your work demands you to do that if you want to be efficient [00:56] suman: my PSP mounts as mass storage with no effort. and i can copy mp3s to it without thinking. [00:56] it costs to much time to adminstrate my own webserver by changing the apache config files with a texteditor [00:56] KurtKraut: Looking at that, there is no reason it couldn't be compiled to work with ubuntu, as long as the code is good, it is recently updated which is a good sign [00:56] suman: i doubt your employer told you to buy an iPod [00:56] suman: not all Windows apps work in Wine, a lot work well just like that though, others need some configuring, and setting up a Windows VM is pretty easy [00:57] mneptok: for ex, when i have to test in IE6, the best way seems to be with virtualbox, but today it was a pain setting it up [00:57] sebsebseb: yeah i figured that out. [00:57] suman: and Apple don't seem to like Linux, hence why as far as I know, they haven't made any of their stuff for it [00:57] sebsebseb: did you try it with the virtualbox?? [00:57] how can i set up my wireless printer (epson nx515) ? [00:57] suman: yep I have done Virtualbox vm's quite a few times [00:57] fccf, and it is maintained by the zlib guys. They have other successful and well maintained projects.

[01:06] ugh @ virtual pc [01:06] suman: why not set up a vm again? it doesn't tend to take that long to install Windows in a VM in Virtualbox [01:07] BlackViper2: well, dualboot is really the last thing i want to do........... it is a pain to wait for minutes [01:07] who has access to nobody:nogroup files?

[01:08] sebsebseb: just IE 6,7,8 [01:08] back [01:08] shamm: well then start over, and set up a new vm in Virtualbox for what you want to do, probably won't be that hard to install those three, even though Windows only really wants one on [01:09] sebsebseb: ?

[02:37] etalli: The Core 2 Duo can run either 32-bit or 64-bit. How much memory do you have? [02:37] also the apache and mysql servers. can i disable them from boot and just start them the time I need them? <- so, anyone? :) [02:37] shamm, hit ctrl-alt-backspace [02:37] rww: 3GB.

[02:37] <|JZ|> arand: still doesnt work [02:38] etalli: 32-bit should be able to address all your memory, then, so it really doesn't matter which you use. May as well go with 32-bit, since more people have it. [02:38] shamm, then your machine is hung. hit ctrl-alt-f1 and log in, then run sudo /sbin/shutdown -r now [02:38] shamm, if that doesn't work, hit ctrl-alt-del and try and reboot [02:38] thowland, shamm: Ctrl-Alt-Backspace is disabled by default in Jaunty, hence (I assume) it not working.

[02:38] To re-enable the Ctrl+Alt+Backspace combination that restarts your X server, you can install the "dontzap" package and use the command « sudo dontzap --disable ».

[02:39] vinpan do you have a panel? [02:39] rww: I, of course, have heard of the highly-publicised benefits of Snow Leopard's 64-bit rewrite, and this leads me to believe 64-bit to be an upgrade from 32-bit. Is this not the case? [02:39] <|JZ|> arand: yes i restarted firefox and youtube still does not work i uninstalled everythingw with flash then did sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree Download done.

(It should be the standard by now you would think) [02:43] adam: I've noticed no appreciable difference between the two on my Core 2 Quad.

[03:03] arand: i have compiz also, it runs like a charm. only videos anf flash seem to run choppy. also, for flash, in youtube, i can't see the red buffering line. i guess it's also a flash issue [03:03] ray66: ^^ [03:03] For Hardy [03:03] bro: what version flash [03:03] 10.0 solved every flash issue i ever had [03:03] hey guys [03:03] flash 10 i think [03:04] i need hele getting totem to play my dvds [03:04] ray66: a splash screen for... usplash, grub, kde, the gimp... many apps use splash screens [03:04] the last version from adobe webpage [03:04] bro: are they still choppy if compiz is off? [03:04] yes [03:04] Ben64, bro really??? [03:04] scott_ino2: what? [03:05] Ben64, just the state of flash is still sad [03:05] bro using 64 bit flashplugin, right? [03:05] scott_ino2: not for me : / [03:05] some flash sites work fine for me, some are horrible... [03:05] RHorse: i'm on 32bt ubuntu [03:05] totem will not play my dvd's can anyone help? [03:05] Hi all. I'm looking for help patching the bcm43xx driver under ubuntu 8.1 I need to find the directory where to run the patch [03:05] rabidweezle...This is the splashscreen in system>preferences [03:05] everything loads fine now, all videos play, never crashes [03:05] huh! [03:05] Ben64, what's your cpu usage like in fullscreen [03:06] what site? [03:06] hi guys [03:06] lordnikon: have you done the instructions on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs#Installing%20libdvdcss ? [03:06] jordirt: i had a friend with the same problem, he eventyally went back to windows because he didnt find anything that worked [03:06] I have a basic command question, I wrote a shell script and I put it under /usr/bin/ + /bin/ [03:06] lorknikon what version are you using? [03:06] ehh... your avg run of the mill tv show site [03:06] lordnikon, mplayer will be best chice [03:06] Ben64, just wondering if it's still high or not [03:07] Hi all. I'm looking for help patching the bcm43xx driver under ubuntu 8.1 I need to find the directory where to run the patch [03:07] because mine always has been. even with a moderate graphics card [03:07] i would like to find all files ending with wma extensions into a directory !, i did --> find . '.*wma$' <-- but i got nothing [03:07] how can i determine which of these directory my shell script would execute [03:07] scott_ino2: i'll find out for ya in a sec [03:07] btw , w [03:07] Ben64, don't want to trouble you, just don't think flash is where it should be still... [03:07] when i do --> find -type f | grep -r '.*wma$' <-- it works [03:07] Ben64, would you mind running another quick video test for me as well? [03:07] paissad-hp: find . -name '*wma' [03:07] paissad-hp: find . -name *.wma [03:07] teVena you should use the exact path to the file. [03:08] rabidw [03:08] rww, prince_jammys ok [03:08] thanks [03:08] rww: wow that worked like a charm thnxs [03:08] lol [03:08] paissad-hp: find doesn't use regexes unless you specify -regex (don't). all you need is a shell glob '*wma' [03:08] Ben64, try this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-zvCUmeoHpw [03:08] when you get a chancxe [03:08] RHourse what if i use system command such as "touch" [03:08] prince_jammys, why not using regex with find ? [03:08] rabidweezle...It is the splashscreen in between usplash and the desktop [03:08] is there any way to edit the ubuntu corner notifications? [03:09] hi, please 1 question i read on wikipedia that init.d is no longer used in ubuntu to start programs. Upstart is used instead. Is this correct? I got init.d so what it does if it's not used? [03:09] paissad-hp: because a shell glob does it more easily. [03:09] scott_ino2: so you wanna check HD cpu usage fullscreen? :) [03:09] ray66, a gdm login splash? [03:09] prince_jammys, ok thanks [03:09] teVena I don't know what you mean [03:09] i found touch is under /usr/ and /usr/bin/ as well [03:09] rabidweezle Yes [03:09] paissad-hp: use regex for fancy matches that aren't possible with shell patterns. [03:09] prince_jammys, is it possible to use regex with find btw ? [03:09] paissad-hp: yes. [03:09] ray66: the image is off center, could be cause by a strange resolution on the image [03:10] miguelonnnn: in Ubuntu and Debian, upstart still uses the scripts in the /etc/init.d/ directory [03:10] Ben64, well not exactly... it's flash hd usage not high quality video usage [03:10] teVena: on my system /usr/bin/touch is a symlink to /bin/touch anyway [03:10] ray66: do you run like a widescreen and the splash is for old school square monitors maybe? [03:10] Ben64, does that video play fine for you? [03:10] xikteny same here [03:10] paissad-hp: but find -regex is peculiar. the regex has to match the entire path, and i think it's implicitly anchored. avoid regex with find. [03:10] hmm ok rww, so ini.d isn't loaded but its scripts are right? [03:10] scott_ino2: no, but my cpu is kinda weak compared to any now [03:10] init.d sry+ [03:10] rabidweezle....yes I run a widescreen [03:10] Ben64, well that's what i was getting at ;-) [03:10] prince_jammys, i got it [03:11] but i have an AMD 64 3200+ [03:11] lower than anything out in the past ~3 years [03:11] ray66: the splash you downloaded probably wasn't tested for widescreen then and looks borked, that happens sometimes [03:11] RHorse when i execute "touch" command . how can i determine which directory "touch" execute form [03:11] rabidweezle...splash from gone-look.org [03:11] Ben64, even on my 3800, with a moderate nvidia graphics shouldn't it still be able to play that [03:11] teVena /bin/ [03:11] amd64 3800+? [03:11] miguelonnnn: correct. the old sysvinit system isn't loaded any more, but the new system is configured to be compatible with its scripts. [03:11] Ben64, don't want to engage in a flash performance war just wondering ;-) [03:12] yes 3800 [03:12] ok ;) thanks [03:12] btw, i would like to have another advice, i currently use 'xcfa' to convert my audio files to mp3, do you have another idea or software to recommend me in order to do that task, xcfa is too slow :-( [03:12] rabidweezle...tried 4 different screens [03:12] which isn't the fastest machine but still [03:12] ray66: I would say make a comment on the splash theme on gnome-look that it doesn't work on your widescreen and give your resolution, maybe he will make one that works for widescreens [03:12] thanks in advance [03:12] i'm just trying to say that flash 10 on linux is way way better than previous versions [03:12] not that flash in general is good [03:12] absolutely [03:12] rabidweezle..tks [03:12] absolutely... but till we can get decent playback... is all im saying :-) [03:12] takes about 50% cpu to play a 720p version of the matrix revolutions [03:13] Ben64, cheers and carry on thanks for testing wanted to know from someone else [03:13] RHorse is there any command that can tell "touch" would execute from /bin/ [03:13] paissad-hp: try audacity [03:13] Ben64, yeah looks like i need a faster machine [03:13] i bet if i had a phenom 2, i'd have no problems :) [03:14] paissad-hp: i use soundconverter, but I don't know how fast it is compared to other software... [03:14] Hello [03:14] paissad-hp: you check out lame? [03:14] xikteny, ok [03:14] teVena I'm unclear. you could type whereis touch to give you an idea [03:14] imo, the best mp3 encoder around [03:15] I need help with jscalibrator [03:15] teVena: 'type touch' will tell you exactly what the shell will do when you invoke touch. [03:16] 'which touch' will tell you were touch is in your PATH (though that's not necessarily what will be invoked, if you set up an alias or function by that name) [03:16] jscalibrator kills my system [03:17] paissad-hp: if you try soundconverter, i would recommend you get it from soundconverter.berlios.de, rather than the official repositories, there are some important bug fixes in newer versions. [03:17] rabidweezle, i won't try audacity knowing that it cannot import wma files 'right permissions' [03:17] xikteny, ok thx [03:18] help please [03:18] prince_jammys awesome!! that's exactly what I try to figure out Thanks a lot [03:18] is there any specific reason that someone shouldn't take a dell mini installed with dell's ubuntu, format it and then install the regular ubuntu netbook remix version? i know that dell may have crafted their derivative of ubuntu specifically for the hardware and stuff, but surely it wouldn't make a difference to replace it? [03:18] teVena: look at the difference betwwen 'type ls' and 'which ls'. in default ubuntu, ls is an alias. [03:19] I need help with jscalibrator [03:20] prince_jammys I got you~ [03:21] cool. [03:21] prince_jammys thankS [03:21] welcome [03:21] dragonunderling: The best way to get a response is to avoid any introductory message and instead get right to the point: Post a complete summary of your problem instead of just saying I need help, [03:21] * Fohn thinks there is a ubottu that says something just like that but does not know how to work the thing [03:22] hi i need help on how to patch a driver, bcm43xx under intrepid ibex === floopsie is now known as Floops [03:22] the permision of files can be determined,,,,,so how i can delete it from desktop ??? [03:23] my problem with jscalibrator is that it crashes my system.. Gives me a Gtk error and the screen then scrambles.. I have to force the system to shut down by holding the Powerbutton [03:23] hi folks [03:23] hi friends [03:24] can someone tell me how to ad /data/var/cache/ to my sources.list ? [03:24] whats teh chan 4 karmic friends? [03:24] ubuntu+1 i think [03:24] I've been searching endlessly for nvidia 185.18.36 modules, there are only 180.44 available. [03:24] yep. #ubuntu+1 [03:25] Well, I finally fixed the driver problem [03:25] they are 190 nvidia now [03:25] here link [03:25] ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/190.32/ === ecanto is now known as edson [03:26] adam: I'm running x64, very unfortunate...

See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SensorInstallHowto for installation and usage instructions. [03:27] looks like I will need to download ubuntu 32bit [03:27] Fohn, that I knew, but in which format ? [03:27] Can someone take a look at this http://paste.ubuntu.com/266960/ and digest whats going on here? Also, how to fix it would help too lol thanks. === floopsie is now known as Floops [03:27] *sigh* [03:27] shamm: why do you want 190 so bad? [03:28] just keep the current drivers, you'd probably be better off [03:28] Ben64: none of nvidia works for my 64bit [03:28] hi guys [03:28] shamm: thats not true, i have nvidia and 64bit [03:28] Can someone please tell me how to add the spanish dictionary to the Text Editor spell check? [03:28] I have a acer aspire one 150(ZG5) and I had just rebooted my comp 2 times 10 minutes ago, upon the first reboot my computer stopped connecting to wifi, what do I do? [03:28] does anyone in here have ubuntu running on a macbook2,1? [03:28] WIGGMPk, err... what did you do to cause that output [03:29] and im back [03:29] Ben64: I used envyng, xubuntu's hardware drivers, it kept screwing up my screen and froze the system. [03:29] Ben64: server-64? [03:29] hi, how do you remove cpu stepping. running netbook remix and the cel900 downclocks to 633. i believe u can cahgne in bios as well. [03:29] shamm: envy isn't xubuntu's hardware drivers [03:29] Ben64: I know... I used xubuntu's hardware drivers FIRST [03:29] it failed in all aspects [03:29] envy automates downloading drivers from nvidia.com, which like i said, makes stuff bad [03:29] then installed envy [03:29] Vovk: lol I emptied my Trash can... nautilus looks like it crashed.. or stopped ? so I checked the logs.. I was burning some ISO's.. seems to happen when I use Brasero a lot [03:29] Hellow, how do I list all my network interfaces? [03:29] then other methods. [03:29] well? [03:29] JordiRT, ifconfig [03:29] Anyone here have a working DLink WUA-2340 wireless USB adapter? [03:30] thnx [03:30] shamm: what cpu, ubuntu version, graphics card? [03:30] JordiRT, to list all of your devices do an lspci [03:30] JordiRT: you can try with ip a [03:30] JordiRT: unless your device is USB in which case its lsusb [03:30] is there anything that can help me to get more hardware data like lm-sensors? My laptop is not supported by lm-sensors [03:30] Can someone please tell me how to add the spanish dictionary to the Text Editor spell check? [03:30] auto matrix: Ah, sorry, should have read the question better!

[03:31] dbugger: see if the packages wspanish and ispanish are relevant. [03:31] Automatrix: deb file:///data/var/cache [03:31] I just installed another distro at my external USB drive and I lost GRUB. Can someone remind me how to recover GRUB so I can log into ubuntu again? [03:31] shamm: do you have server on a laptop? [03:31] Automatrix: , at least I think so [03:31] yes, a server on a laptop [03:31] QUESTION: Anyone here have a working DLink WUA-2340 wireless USB adapter? [03:31] why not? :D [03:31] ... why? [03:32] Ben64: testing platform before I deploy on actual server at work. [03:32] Vovk: since I restarted yes.. full restart too.. restarting the X server is not fun.. crashes ~6 times in 90 seconds.. lucky its idiot proof and it stops trying to restart itself.. at that point I went to another TTY and did a full restart [03:32] Fohn, thanks so much [03:32] shamm: then .... nvidia drivers shouldn't matter [03:32] automatrix: No problem! [03:32] Ben64 i've got one of my laptops running ubuntu only for the process of forwarding a wireless internet connection. I don't have the money to buy more network equipment and i won this extra laptop for free :D [03:32] mercutio22: the easiest way is to get this: http://www.supergrubdisk.org/ [03:32] Ben64: I agree that it shouldn't matter -- ubuntu's default nvidia drivers was those that froze my screen. [03:32] WIGGMPk, hmm... have no experience with that, sorry :( [03:33] mercutio22: Super Grub Disk [03:33] Vovk: thanks for taking a look though [03:33] Couldn't one just do 'sudo apt-get install grub2'? [03:33] whompapotamus: but it is possible to recover grub from a ubuntu live cd right? [03:33] shamm: i'm just saying, i bet you'd have better luck with a non-server version on a laptop [03:33] QUESTION2: Does anyone here know how to make a DLink WUA-2340 wireless USB adapter work? Yes, I have used ndiswrapper with 1.4 drivers and have the blacklist file setup, no previous drivers are installed, rebooted with it unplugged and a few other things [03:33] ah [03:33] but no boot [03:33] doi :D [03:33] WIGGMPk, hope you find help. alternatively, you'll just have to restart when that happens :( [03:33] where are the settings for wireless kept in ubuntu 9.04 [03:33] ? [03:33] hi, I've created a USB startup disk, on a 16gb drive - is it possible to increase the amount of space the root drive can use? [03:34] Vovk: im almost sure its Brasero or growiso's fault [03:34] shamm: and servers don't need graphics, especially hardware acceleration [03:34] mercutio22: yes - you will need to boot to the command line... its been a while but you will have to edit hd0 [03:34] Vovk: leaning towards Brasero.. I think its a POS honestly [03:34] I just installed ubuntu server 8.04 onto vbox when I first would log in it would show me the server stats such load, mem used etc but now it doesnt how do I fix this or what command would i have to type in order to display the info again [03:34] IXI: are you using the XP drivers? [03:34] Hello all. I need some help. I rebooted my Ubuntu 9.10 while the system was installing updates. Now, when I try to boot, it comes up with the error "udevadm trigger is not permitted while udev is unconfigured. Gave up waiting for root device. Common problems: Boot args (cat /proc/cmdline) - Check rootdelay, -Check root, Missing modules (cat /proc/modules; ls /dev) ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/c04492359859385908 does not exist. Dropping to a [03:34] And then I get a pretty useless BusyBox shell [03:34] voltagex: u probably can use the rest of the drive to store things [03:34] WIGGMPk, well, the pastebin says that scim panel is segfaulting. i did a google search of "scim panel gtk segfault" and there are alot of results. look into that [03:34] adalal: no, root [03:35] mercutio22: Super Grub Disk is the way to go... really is the way to go! [03:35] Vovk: will do [03:35] adalal: at the moment I can't apt-get update [03:35] voltagex: oh [03:35] because root is 1gb [03:35] whompapotamus: ok [03:35] Ben64: ok -- I'll create a dual for that then. [03:35] thanks for your help. [03:35] * shamm need to hit bed :( [03:35] WIGGMPk, if it IS a problem with gtk, try using K3B to burn things, it runs on top of qt so you may not have that issue [03:35] Any ideas anyone? [03:35] adam: a lesson learned here about x65 ;) [03:35] * adalal just got up [03:36] does anybody here have an epson printer/scanner? [03:36] shamm: good luck, x64 is great btw :) [03:36] Ben64: I agree! [03:36] bye [03:36] I have a question [03:36] Does some one use bfs sheduler ? How is he ? [03:36] As do i [03:36] !ask | WilliamC2 [03:36] WilliamC2: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [03:36] QUESTION2: Does anyone here know how to make a DLink WUA-2340 wireless USB adapter work? Yes, I have used ndiswrapper with 1.4 drivers and have the blacklist file setup, no previous drivers are installed, rebooted with it unplugged and a few other things [03:36] How do I enable coolbits? [03:36] JGodbout: why on earth would you reboot during an update/upgrade? and you said 9.10? [03:36] I didn't realise it was still running. [03:36] Vovk: I dislike using KDE apps on GNOME (dont get me wrong, K3B is a nice program I just have OCD). Might just end up doing the old growisofs from command line [03:36] And I don't think it told me when I said reboot that updates were running. [03:37] And yes, I said 9.10 [03:37] mercutio22: I am pretty sure you can just use the LiveCD. More details are forthcoming :D [03:37] is there any specific reason that someone shouldn't take a dell mini installed with dell's ubuntu, format it and then install the regular ubuntu netbook remix version? i know that dell may have crafted their derivative of ubuntu specifically for the hardware and stuff, but surely it wouldn't make a difference to replace it? [03:37] Hey, I'm having trouble getting a bluetooth GPS to connect to my Dell Latitude d600 running ubuntu 9.04. I need a few pointers to tell me where to start working on this. [03:37] WIGGMPk, yeah, running kde and qt will slow down your gnome (loads all the extra libraries and all...) hehehe. not afraid of the black and white letters then? Excellent :D [03:37] <|JZ|> For some reason I cant get flash to work in firefox 3.5 i cant watch no youtube videos it asks me to install flashplayer 10 but flash works on firefox 3.0 [03:37] theoros: shouldn't at all make a difference [03:37] WilliamC2: it's in the nvidia readme, also top listing for "coolbits ubuntu" in google, you have to add Option "Coolbits" "1" to your xorg.conf [03:37] ctmjr: Oh, and I forgot to mention that I installed using wubi [03:37] WIGGMPk, you could even write your own shell scripts to make it (mostly) automated [03:38] I set it up with the GNOME bluetooth manager, but hcitool con doesn't show any connections [03:38] Vovk: lol, I was just gonna say I wasnt afraid of the terminal.. just lazy.. write a shell script? thats a lil much for this lazy cat.. [03:38] WilliamC2, do you have nvclovk and nvclock-gtk installed? [03:38] WIGGMPk, ^_^ [03:39] WilliamC2, I have both installed and doing this via gui with nvclock-gtk is an easy task [03:39] Do they have a package?\ [03:39] <_jse> howdy peeps [03:39] i'd like to know about enabling the console framebuffer so that i can see video/image in it and possibly use links2 to see images in a browser. i gather that i can't test this out if i have an X11 session going. the walkthroughs i looked at don't make a ton of sense to me. could anyone help? === _jse is now known as jse10 [03:39] WilliamC2, yes in ubuntu just open synaptic pacakge manager and hit Search and type in nvclock [03:40] Can someone help me with samba. I've done it before, but this time around it isn't working. I can see my ubuntu box on my xbmc and my windows(ew) pc, but it says I don't have permission. ( Btw I'm kind of new to linux ) [03:40] JGodbout: well 9.10 is not supported wubi sucks and you might try running the updates again from rescue mode if the wubi install has one [03:40] WilliamC2, if you have gnome you want nvclock and nvclock-gtk not nvclock-qt === rabidweezle_ is now known as RabidWeezle [03:40] ctmjr: How do I use this rescue mode thing? [03:41] Something strange just happened [03:41] WilliamC2, be careful in the settings :) [03:41] WilliamC2, what? [03:41] I lost all of the borders from my windows [03:41] O.o [03:41] start metacity [03:41] WilliamC2: you're running compiz? [03:42] <|JZ|> For some reason I cant get flash to work in firefox 3.5 i cant watch no youtube videos it asks me to install flashplayer 10 but flash works on firefox 3.0 [03:42] LinuxMercedes: hcitool dev (do you see an address listed?) [03:42] I'm using whatever the default is [03:42] WilliamC2: alt+F2 and: metacity --replace [03:42] Fohn, ok that was pretty easy [03:42] Wildcard77, hit alt+F2 type gtk-window-decorator --replace [03:42] whompapotamus: yep [03:42] Wildcard77, ssorry [03:42] ok, that looks better. i assumed metacity. [03:42] WilliamC2, do you want compiz running? [03:43] What's compiz? [03:43] whompapotamus: device address for hci0 [03:43] !compiz | WilliamC2 [03:43] WilliamC2: Compiz (compositing window manager), for a howto see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager and more help #compiz [03:43] WilliamC2, ok first hit alt + F2 and type metacity --replace [03:43] WilliamC2, download those nvclock pacakges and then we can talk about compiz [03:43] coz, I did that [03:43] ok [03:43] JGodbout: i do not know how to get to rescue mode from a wubi install, someone else might be able to elp you [03:44] LinuxMercedes: just making sure you do not see all zeros [03:44] WilliamC2, ok open a terminal and paste this command sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager [03:44] whompapotamus: nope [03:44] Fohn, I restored my old grub, but there's no entry for the O.S. installed in the external drive. Do you know how I can create one? [03:44] whompapotamus: 00:11:67:00:00:00 [03:45] JGodbout: and if you have 9.10 karmic you might ask in #ubuntu+1 [03:45] Wildcard77, then go to System/preferences/appearance and the Visual effects tab and choose extra [03:45] Holy crap [03:45] whats a good, basic alarm clock?

[03:46] you can also apt-get install alarm-clock [03:46] i just want to wake up weekdays at 5 to either an alarm or music, maybe a command [03:46] ok [03:47] zopiac, exaile and amarok music players also have alarm clock plugins [03:47] Vovk: not a package [03:47] WilliamC2, make sure Desktop cube...expo...rotate cube...show desktop and view port seitcher have a check mark and uncheck Desktop wall [03:47] you don't want a package? :^| [03:47] Vovk: says alarm-clock isnt a package, i mean [03:47] WilliamC2, actually uncheck desktop wall first [03:47] LinuxMercedes: make your device discoverable - then sudo hidd --search [03:47] I hate Pokemon [03:47] zopiac, it's in the universe repo [03:47] meaning [03:47] zopiac, http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=default§ion=all&arch=any&searchon=names&keywords=alarm+clock [03:48] zopiac, it is in the repository labeled universe [03:48] <|JZ|> I cant get flash to work in firefox 3.5 i cant watch no youtube videos it asks me to install flashplayer 10 but flash works on firefox 3.0 [03:48] !universe | zopiac [03:48] zopiac: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections.

Yes, I have used ndiswrapper with 1.4 drivers and have the blacklist file setup, no previous drivers are installed, rebooted with it unplugged and a few other things [03:49] whompapotamus: hidd isn't a valid command over here [03:49] whompapotamus: what package is it in?

[03:56] whompapotamus: Can't read inquiry mode on hci0: Input/output error (5) [03:57] I'm using ubuntu 9.04. I just installed Emerald themer and when I try to iunstall an emerald theme, the only thing that changes is the window border. Everything inside the window stays the same [03:57] kyuss, emerald ONLY does window borders [03:57] heh [03:57] !emerald | and is unsupported [03:57] and is unsupported: emerald is an obsolete window decorator for compiz. It's unsupported and unmaintained, making issues with it very hard to diagnose and fix. There are no known, supported alternatives. [03:57] LinuxMercedes: make the device discoverable first [03:58] kyuss, get metacity themes... they look nice anyway :D [03:58] should o jave a ~/scripts folder its not where it should be [03:58] I will try metacity yeah [03:58] whompapotamus: it is by default. [03:58] webbb8, what do you mean? ~/scripts means /home/username/scripts [03:58] whompapotamus: fwiw it's a tomtom gps mkII [03:58] ya [03:58] i dont have a scrips folder there [03:59] webbb8: you'd want to make one, then [03:59] webbb8, err... why do you wanna make one? you are perfectly entitled to do so... but why? [03:59] webbb8 mkdir /home/username/scripts/ [03:59] or mkdir ~/scripts :D [03:59] does anyone here use ubuntu intrepid and also find that networkmanager has never worked ever? [04:00] emma: i removed it in mine.. lol [04:00] emma, nope. mine works like a charm :D [04:00] Weird. I have never seen networkmanager work. Not even once. [04:00] emma: network manager has ALWAYS worked fine for me [04:00] i hate that idiom though. works like a charm should mean that it never works [04:00] emma: when I was using Intrepid, network-manager broke all the time. I used wicd for wireless and /etc/network/interfaces for ethernet instead. It's usable on Jaunty, but still somewhat dumb. [04:00] I have the wpa password but i dont even know where to put it because networkmanaer does nothing. [04:00] LinuxMercedes: should still be able to connect to it = bluetooth is nice that way (do you have bluez-utils)? [04:00] +1 with rww [04:01] rww maybe i should take a shot at upgrading ubuntu then. Oh crap I can't because that requires the internet :( [04:01] whompapotamus: I have bluez-utils, yes [04:01] ^not sarcasm, i really did realize that midsentence.

[04:02] emma: another option is using whatever computer you are using currently to burn a fancy new 9.10 cd [04:02] Fohn: 9.10 is alpha [04:02] Fohn: 1) I'm hoping you meant 9.04 and not 9.10, 2) she'd need the .iso to do that, which she presumably doesn't have. [04:02] whompapotamus: It says bluez-utils doesn't exist...let me do an inquiry here [04:03] :D [04:03] 9.04** [04:03] LinuxMercedes: sudo apt-get install bluez-utils [04:03] i have sonata connected to mpd but i cant update my library [04:03] rww: I am aware of that, however if she is on a computer which is networked right now, she could acquire the .iso. === john is now known as Guest79557 [04:04] Fohn: oh, gotcha :) [04:04] Metacity isn't autoloading [04:04] How do I fix that? === prince_j1mmys is now known as prince_jammys [04:05] whompapotamus: yeah, but Synaptic reports that it's installed [04:05] ok why is it that with linux mint i could put in a dvd and it would play no problem but ubuntu has a fit?

[04:08] orospakr: You could try Package -> Force Version in Synaptic Package Manager, but it's a pain sometimes [04:08] LinuxMercedes: i know that it is not appearing, but it sounds like the device is connected - there just isn't a protocol to send and receive data so it doesn't show up in the list - what are you trying to do? [04:08] WilliamC2, if you use gdm, pick it from the session area, when you log in, it will ask if you want to make it default [04:08] problem opening log file "/var/lib/mpd/.mpd/mpd.log" (config line 11) for writing [04:08] (i specified the log file to go to ~, where is mpd getting its info?)

[04:10] whompapotamus: if you have a better way for me to do this, I'm all ears [04:10] greyz`: those are partition table types, not filesystem types, which means you're clicking "New" on the wrong thing (you want msdos, btw) [04:10] rww: ok, so I should click "New", alright thank you rww! :D [04:10] kismet huh - packet sniffing via GPS bluetooth - i am confused ;) [04:11] whompapotamus: no, logging gps coordinates of wifi networks =] [04:11] danbhfive, nope, that just wants to put the same version right back. [04:11] rww, "force version" greyed out. :/ [04:11] orospakr: well, you gota remove the ppa, and run sudo apt-get clean first [04:12] danbhfive, tried it with the ppa enabled and disabled (with apt-get update, obviously), same effect.

[04:14] danbhfive, libxcb-atom1 (and a host of related ones), that was included in an ppa with a build of awesome wm. I decided I didn't want awesome wm, and as such don't see a need for the rebuilt dependency packages. [04:14] I figure I ought to be running the original libxcb packages out of jaunty's repo, rather than letting these ones hang around.

I've tried editing the menu.lst, but with the uuid lines i'm not really sure what to do. Any ideas? [04:24] Darklor: no it isnt [04:24] losher, why would you like to cuddle? [04:24] bucky, according to http://gpsd.berlios.de/bt.html it exists [04:24] Jester_: they need to match the output of "sudo blkid" [04:24] Darklor: sudo apt-get install binutils [04:24] Xoop: definitely not... [04:24] !uuid [04:24] To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) [04:24] IdleOne : Thanks [04:24] Can someone help me with samba.

I'm running 8.04 LiveCD right now on parents' windows XP computer. They have what looks like a Windows graphics driver problem that renders the computer unusable. The machine works fine on LiveCD. I ran ntfsfix in order to mount the hard drive to the Ubuntu Live CD environment. Is there a way to view windows system logs in ubuntu? I'm trying to determine what's fragging them in Windows [04:25] Jester_: the uuids have to match for the root partition indicated in menu.lst, and also in /etc/fstab if you used them there... [04:25] Hi everyone. I just tried to resize my ubuntu partition from a live cd with gparted and something weird happened. It appeared to resize correctly, but then failed after copying all the information over giving me an error after trying "e2fsck /dev/sda3" saying "run e2fsck -f /dev/sda3 first". This stopped gparted and i tried booting into ubuntu (which I'm on now) and everything is fine except that my ubuntu installation is taking up 10 gb more t [04:25] NVIDIA > ATI with respect to Linux Driver support? [04:26] ozomandi, you need to backup their data, wipe the drive and do a fresh install of windows :) [04:26] Loafers: not necessarily. Some cards work fine, some don't, from both manufacturers. [04:26] losher: /var/run is there. /var/run/network is not. [04:26] Nhasian... that's what i figured. trying to avoid doing the labor-intensive process. plus... their XP discs are buried in the garage === Darklor is now known as Blizzerand [04:26] Kleemajo : Run that command it asked from the terminal [04:26] rww, Ok [04:27] bucky: I'm going to restart and see if that helps; from what I hear it actually may [04:27] ozomandi, no no. you always throw those discs out. you need to use the latest drivers from the manufacturer's website. not the drivers on the discs they came with. [04:27] Kleemajo : Thats an error and to correct it you can do that [04:28] Alright. How can I make the ping command return a True/False sorta value based on whether a target responds to ping or not. [04:28] nhasian... I mean their XP operating system discs are lost. I can't wipe windoze until I find the XP os discs. Then I'll begin getting drivers from the manufacturers' websites. Or, I'll convince them to use ubuntu [04:28] anyone here know anything about linux home automation? [04:28] jmalicki: /etc/init.d/loopback in my release will create /var/run/network if it doesn't exist. Try running it? === moot is now known as drakonik [04:28] losher: that went away in jaunty.

[04:29] Fragworth: try texlive [04:29] jmalicki: you're on your own then dude, sorry... [04:29] losher: cool, thanks for the help [04:29] I've done some home automation (not Linux, though) [04:29] jmalicki: texlive-latex-base ? [04:29] ozomandi, well you can order a replacement disc from MS for $30. the s/n should be on the back or side of the computer. [04:29] fragsworth: sounds good :) [04:29] jmalicki: cool, thanks [04:29] fragsworth: you may need more. [04:30] ozomandi, of course my preferred solution is to install the latest ubuntu [04:30] nhasian... thanks for confirming my fears. I'm down to the garage to dig around. you've been most helpful === john is now known as Guest31030 [04:30] jmalicki: does egrep '/var/run/network' /etc/init.d/* show anything interesting? [04:31] joejc: I don't [04:31] ozomandi, i'm pretty convinced that there is special code in windows that makes your computer go slower as time goes on :) [04:31] Ok, the menu.lst was fine, but the swap space uuid in fstab was off. The root uuid in fstab was fine. would that still throw out error 22? [04:31] looking at config-2.6.28-15-generic i see that CONFIG_HZ=250 and that # CONFIG_HZ_1000 is not set. any benefit to recompiling with CONFIG_HZ_1000 enabled? [04:31] joejc: did you have a question about Linux home automation? [04:31] yes [04:31] nhasian: too funny! [04:31] whats the preferred irc bnc for ubuntu, that supports apt and has a wide variety of users/scripts [04:32] Hey sorry my internet cut out. Did my question get sent (was at xx:25:30) [04:32] joejc: fire away... [04:32] whats the best way to control my house with linux?

So I'm suspicious of the root uuid not needing to be updated. Especially if it's still not working... [04:33] nhasian: no, irc bouncer, its an irc proxy tool, like psybnc etc..

I just tried to resize my ubuntu partition from a live cd with gparted and something weird happened. It appeared to resize correctly, but then failed after copying all the information over giving me an error after trying "e2fsck /dev/sda3" saying "run e2fsck -f /dev/sda3 first". This stopped gparted and i tried booting into ubuntu (which I'm on now) and everything is fine except that my ubuntu installation i [04:34] hello everybody! can anyone help.. when i log in, my 9.04 system automattically mounts and puts on the desktop one of my partitions on the same disk as my / and /home folder partitions. how do i stop it from mounting/putting it on the desktop everytime i log in ? [04:34] i dont need software i need hardware [04:34] joejc: well that was no help [04:34] joejc: I've used X-10 modules to do it. I bought a CM11a module from Smarthome.com. I control it using "heyu", an open-source program. [04:34] Ecto, do you know which partition it is? :) [04:34] how does the computer part connect to the other x10 stuff? [04:34] if it still got cut, here is the last sentence: This stopped gparted and i tried booting into ubuntu (which I'm on now) and everything is fine except that my ubuntu installation is taking up 10 gb more than it did before the partition. Any idea what happened? [04:34] vovk: yes [04:35] Ecto, if so, open up /etc/fstab and delete the line with that partition name [04:35] Ecto, gconf-editor [04:35] vovk: it's not in fstab :( [04:35] nhasian: will try [04:35] nhandler, i thought gconf-editor only controls if its on the desktop or not, not if it's auto mounted [04:35] I'm not very impressed with X-10, though. Some modules work great and some have a hard time. Your house wiring plays a big role (since X-10 uses the power lines for the network.) [04:35] nhasian, look above :P stupid auto complete [04:35] Vovk: automounting of stuff that isn't in fstab is done by a GNOME program, and is probably configurable through gconf-editor [04:36] nhasian: any clues on which section in gconf-editor ? [04:36] rww, why did they separate that?! -_- [04:36] Kleemajo: run df ... to see what the exact amount is [04:36] joejc: I was hoping the ZigBee stuff would be cheaper and work better. I haven't bought any ZigBee stuff yet, because it's pretty pricy. === carlos is now known as Guest29817 [04:36] Ecto, im looking through it now, i think there was an option to enable/disable disk drives [04:36] albech: sudo apt-get --purge remove alsa-base alsa-utils linux-sound-base [04:37] Vovk: because putting USB flash drives into fstab is annoying [04:37] albech: That is, if you're still here :D. [04:37] Vovk: (amongst other reasons) [04:37] is it possible to mount an nfs share with the fstab without the destination directiory? [04:37] RichN, so x10 is the best way to go atleast as far as price? [04:37] rww, true... but the entire point of /etc is to have centralized configs. ah well... [04:37] eg mount nfs share for /home/user with only /home existing? [04:37] o..so [04:37] albech: Aftewards, 'sudo apt-get install linux-sound-base alsa-base alsa-utils' [04:38] Vovk: right, and you don't want centralized configs for user-mounted drives. I think the same program also does stuff like mounting over ssh, which also probably doesn't belong in fstab. [04:38] vovk: my guess is to make it more user friendly. [04:38] D'OH [04:38] joejc: I think so. Smarthome.com has occasional deals where you can buy lamp and appliance modules for under $10, which is where they should be all the time. [04:38] note to self: Check who's online before responding to old queries... [04:38] lol [04:38] Ecto, launch gconf-editor, or hit Applications / System Tools / Configuration Editor [04:38] joejc: the CM11a module is kinda steep, though (I think ~$60). It connects to your 9-pin serial port. [04:39] Ecto, go to gconf apps/nautilus/desktop/ then untick the volumes_visible checkbox [04:39] Ecto, user friendly means different things to different people. rww, i don't see a reason why centralized configs are bad for user mounted drives, if there was an option in fstab to autodetect the file system, then you could easily add as many entries as you had ports and you'd be fine [04:39] fccf1: http://paste.ubuntu.com/266980/ It doesn't look like it is acknowledging the partition size (the partition is 25 GB now) [04:39] i google it and fould this on the page http://www.smarthome.com/1132CU/PowerLinc-Controller-USB-Based-Home-Automation-Device/p.aspx any reason not to go usb? [04:39] cambo: not really. You need a valid directory as a mount point. The main exception being if you use the automounter, which will automatically create mount points for you. Is it a problem doing mkdir /home/user before you mount? [04:39] rww, and if you ARE mounting over ssh, then you are technical enough to know how to edit a simple text config file ;) [04:40] one would hope [04:40] my partition used to be 12 GB or whatever is listed under df [04:40] one would hope [04:40] nhasian: will that stop them being visible on the desktop if i mount them manually ? i dont want that... i just want to stop the automounting one.. [04:41] The heyu program works with the serial port version. I don't think it does USB. Maybe you have other software already? [04:41] RichN: joejc: I did the same when they went on sale years ago (I think they're discontinued now). Mine plugged into a serial port. Some of the newer mobos don't even come with serial ports any more... [04:41] Kleemajo: what do you have as /dev/sda1&2 [04:41] Kleemajo: gparted will show you [04:42] should I try it? or will it conflict with firefox? [04:42] Yup. http://www.smarthome.com/1140/X10-Activehome-CM11A-Computer-Interface-CM11A/p.aspx is discontinued. [04:42] nhasian: in apps/nautilis/prefences there is an automount flag. i wonder what config file it uses... [04:43] /dev/sda1 is an empty ntfs partition. /dev/sda2 is a Mac partition. Here is an fdisk -l printout: http://paste.ubuntu.com/266984/ [04:43] Quakelive for linux finally thank god [04:43] its on ebay for 10 bucks === oiram is now known as cew_ [04:44] joejc: A friend of mine bought the USB module for his Macintosh. Don't know if it's the same you posted. [04:44] firecrotch nah, man. I'm behind the times! [04:44] nhasian: it's looking like 12 of one and half a dozen of the other at the moment. [04:44] Kleemajo: what you see in df below /dev/sda3 is the rest of the filesystem / which is created at boot time [04:45] richn joejc the usb model has lousy support under linux [04:45] @losher I have about 16 servers, I was using the automounter at the /home level, but it makes all the existing /home/vpopmail etc disappear [04:45] firecrotch I don't miss the newer v. at all. [04:46] gce: rats. I was hoping it had one of those USB-serial bridge chips. I was downloading their docs... [04:46] but I would like to test Shiretoko [04:46] nhasian: ok thanks for the help.. i'll just go with the volumes_visible checkbox. thanks again. [04:46] Could someone please help me with samba. I've been googling for the passed 2hrs now. It's most likely something easy, but I'm just not that knowledgeable at ubuntu. [04:47] charles_: just ask [04:47] can someone tell me how in KVM to map a secondary NIC I have in my host directly to the virtual machine? its a high throughput application, and I'd love it to have exclusive direct access if possible . anyone? [04:47] fccf1: ok, so why is 14 GB of hard drive space being allocated to these other areas? [04:47] joejc: if you can get the CM11 in decent condition, it'd be worth it (esp at $10!). The heyu program can take a schedule file (that you write) and compile into macros and load it in the CM11 so that your computer doesn't have to be on. [04:48] charles_: Just ask, if someone knows they will answer, and don't pester the channel if no one does [04:48] !ask | charles_ [04:48] charles_: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [04:48] charles_: what's wrong? [04:48] cambo: yes, it will make all existing /home/* disappear. I'm not sure what you're trying to do, but you don't have to automount into /home. You can automount into another directory e.g. /automount and place permanent symbolic links from /home/user1 to /automount/user1. Will that help? [04:48] RichiH, my only problem is that im not sure i can use it [04:48] RichN, * [04:49] richn and joec a good website is http://www.linuxha.com/ www.x10.com used to have cma11 on it [04:49] @losher, I am trying to map a nfs drive for a user that logs into the server. I dont want to have to create mount points on each server [04:49] i have 16 servers. [04:49] Can someone help me with samba. I've done it before, but this time around it isn't working. I can see my ubuntu box on my xbmc and my windows(ew) pc, but it says I don't have permission. ( Btw I'm kind of new to linux ) Could you pm me please if you have time [04:49] just want to use the fstab to automount at login for each user [04:50] gce: thanks for the link, joejc: why don't you think you can use it? [04:50] I guess that automount is my only option right? [04:50] might not have the right plug [04:50] cambo: use automount? or setup some pam module to mount it when they log in? [04:50] I try to follow all the guides, but still nothing [04:50] joejc: you have 25-pin serial? [04:50] fstab is static, it doesn't have automounted stuff in it [04:51] can I use automount to mount /home/user and keep anything that is existing in /home I have /home/vpopmail for example [04:51] what color would it be? [04:51] I do get this when I try smbclient -U guest -L samba might not have permission [04:51] charles_: have you created a share for it to log in as? [04:51] Yes [04:51] Kleemajo: dev is hardware varrun and varlock each reserve 2.5 gigs to do what it has to do when it is running, another reason might include the lack of swap space on your system [04:51] I did phix [04:51] charles_: have you created an account to log in as ? [04:51] charles_: you used smbpasswd to add in a samba account for it too? [04:51] I do get this when I try smbclient -U guest -L samba Error NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME ( correction ) [04:51] charles_: are they window servers? if so you might need to use samba and put the computer in the domain [04:51] charles_: is your computer named samba? [04:52] RichN, is it pink? [04:52] joejc: http://www.x10.com/promotions/hc60rx_vt_kit.html [04:52] I'm ubuntu isn't named samba. === bullgard is now known as bullgard4 [04:52] Hey guys I just got a new Dell Inspiron Mini today and I set my desktop PC to allow remote desktop viewing. I wanted to monitor its downloads from my new netbook from downstairs and then shut it down remotely etc. Desktop PC says its only accessable from the LAN only. That would work but when I try the 192.168.1.3 that it shows, from my newbook, I get a black screen only. Any ideas? [04:52] charles_: so why are you trying to list shares on a computer named samba for? [04:52] The wireless works fine for internet access if thats in question. [04:53] scunizi they are window xp boxs and xbmc is a media player [04:53] charles_: smbclient -U guest -L YOURCOMPUTERNAME [04:53] or ip address [04:53] Im not sure why vinagre woudnt allow web access also. [04:54] x10 needs a better web designer [04:54] joejc: The CM11a comes with a cable. One end looks like a phone jack, the other is a 9-pin serial port connector. Recent computers may no longer have 9-pin serial port connectors, but you can get a 9-pin to USB adapter. [04:54] I did phix smbclient -U guest -L Office ,but still I get Error NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME) [04:54] im selling my laptop through ebay. how can i reformat my hard drive in a way so that no files are recoverable? [04:55] joejc: I don't know about "pink" though. [04:55] charles_: can you ping it? [04:55] ill try [04:55] how do you determine the size that all packages has used? [04:55] charles_: replace Office with the ip address of the computer instead [04:55] charles_: what is your ip address on your linux box? open up a terminal and type in ifconfig to find that out [04:55] fccf1: Well, how can I expand the amount of the partition that is used for "/"? The 2 GB for each of those other things obviously isn't required since I have been running ubuntu for a couple months now without any glitches. I used to have swap space but it wasn't used at all so I removed it (I have 4 GB of ram). [04:55] RichN, where the printer cable would plugin before usb was used for everything? [04:55] anyone? :D [04:56] phix I can ping the ubuntu box [04:56] !anyone | dsdeiz [04:56] dsdeiz: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [04:56] charles_: nice, from your ubuntu box, can you ping your other computers? [04:57] joejc: a serial to usb converter will work just fine like richn suggested. I use one without problem [04:57] 11:55 < dsdeiz> how do you determine the size that all packages has used? [04:57] joejc: The printer cables (before USB) had 25-pin connectors. Serial ports used to have 25-pin connectors, too, but then went to smaller 9-pin connectors. [04:57] phix yes [04:57] charles_: good, and you have samba running on your ubuntu box? smbclient -U guest -L localhost on your ubuntu box [04:58] charles_: sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart [04:58] charles_: try that too :P [04:58] cambo: make the mountpoints be in /home/nfs/user instead of /home. That way you can keep /home as it is. The password files will have to be changed to indicate the new home directories... [04:58] it took me over an hour to figure out how to install things lol [04:59] how do you install programs you download off the internet?

[05:32] mneptok, silence you! :P [05:32] innomen: check out #openoffice [05:32] cryptopsy, oh really i just type google or is it a check box? [05:33] I found a website with the solution on google.

I need a way to change the ubuntu graphics driver from the command line [05:36] Spider21: grub2 is karmic, try #ubuntu+1 [05:36] I think [05:36] thanks [05:36] aphisone: I see... well, recent releases tend to steer away from direct editting of the xorg.conf file [05:37] innoman: html is spanglish to openoffice's spellchecker, whereas bluefish does nicely .. even on heavily coded pages [05:37] aphisone: did you imply that this used to work until you reconfigured something? [05:37] Gnea: I know... kinda cool... but now I don't know how to solve my problem lol :D [05:37] fccf, awesome [05:37] why is the streaming of videos so horrible?

I was trying dmesg lol... Radeon HD 3100 [05:41] phix: lag? [05:41] aphisone: if you look through /var/cache/apt/archives you may find a previous version of the driver (aka the one that worked, find the newer driver in there ... look carefully at dates see what was recently installed .. then find the next older driver .. install with sudo dpkg -i PACKAGE-FILE-NAME.deb [05:42] oem: what's the problem, exactly? is it not being detected or not finding an access point? [05:42] Gnea: Yes, I am lagged :) in my brain that is. [05:42] hi, on an ubuntu 9.04 install, how do i make a "service" wait until a prerequisite service starts completely? [05:42] phix: lol [05:42] fccf: aphisone: if that doesn't work, also look at /var/log/dpkg.log which gives the chronology of installed packages [05:42] Gnea: my ping is fine :) [05:42] fccf: bluefish apears to be working nicely, thanks :) [05:42] it must be me [05:42] phix: it happens [05:42] I think I need more coffee [05:42] oem: here, please.

[05:45] aphisone: do you have pastebinit installed? [05:45] losher, fccf: fglrx was installed as the driver... also shows it in the archives... [05:45] Gnea: no [05:45] !pastebinit | aphisone (sudo apt-get install pastebinit) [05:45] aphisone (sudo apt-get install pastebinit): pastebinit is the command-line equivelent of !pastebin .

[05:46] bing: what port? [05:46] Gnea: nice tool... good to know.. installing [05:46] bing: find the process and turn it off [05:47] onats: as far as I know, there is no built-in facility for that kind of coordination of services. Usually, the services themselves have to coordinate using some agreed upon protocol. Which services are you trying to coordinate?

[05:49] i used to use opera back when i used windows and i liked that so much more than firefox [05:49] i just compiled Chromium, and so far i'm a huge fan.

For more info on opera please see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OperaBrowser [05:50] Is there a way to move an Ubuntu installation from one computer to another? [05:50] onats: the easiest thing it just to delay tomcat until you're sure mysql has started. If you wanted to get more sophisticated, you could query the mysql server to see if it's responding. Note that whatever you do, you need to handle the case where mysql never comes up. You don't want your system to hang completely if that happens... [05:50] Gnea: like this? [05:50] !clone | rashed2020 [05:50] rashed2020: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [05:50] oem: yup [05:51] Gnea: What about my personal settings and customizations?

[05:52] aphisone: what vendor do you get from this command? glxinfo |grep vendor [05:53] oem: possibly, but that's assuming that that would be the answer to the problem that you mentioned about wireless before [05:53] i cant find a forum or anything [05:53] losher, ok thanks, am just gonna sleep it for 30 seconds [05:53] that for sure should be enough time to startup the mysql server [05:53] Gnea: Error: unable to open display [05:53] *facepalm* [05:53] Jaunty Jackalope, brand new install, running KDE4.

I am looking [05:54] onats: ok, but realise that if you do this in the boot script, everything will pause for 30 seconds during boot while the script sleeps... [05:54] fccf, cool, thank you :) [05:54] thanks [05:55] Gnea: I get no info, just a new command prompt [05:55] oem: well, .c are C program files (just the source code) and .h are the header files that the C files utilize in order to compile into the .so shared library files [05:56] aphisone: okay - if you press alt-f7, is the X still running or is it a blank screen? [05:56] Gnea: if I look into the old versions of the xorg.conf I have seen fglrx [05:57] Gnea: how would I tell this to install tho in a manner of speaking what command prompt? or terminal command.

[05:58] Gnea: Only been using ubuntu around a week now well caching on.... used to microsoft and overriding everything lol [05:58] innomen: I believe it is using the local dictionary in /usr/share/dict [05:58] losher, hmmm [05:58] even the other scripts that were previously started? [05:58] fccf: hmm, alright, thanky, i guess thats not the one OO uses. [05:58] i'll tinker [05:59] hardware: no you got to go online and patch 3 upgrades ... well mine did [05:59] hardware: intel hardware has been around in a general sense for much longer. perhaps you should ask about your specific hardware. [05:59] !intel [05:59] Ubuntu 9.04 has a known regression for some Intel graphics support. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/IntelPerformance and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1130582 for more information. [05:59] aphisone: X usually runs on 7, so okay. type this: X >& X.log and it should take you back to the prompt (if not, ctrl-alt-backspace will kill it) then pastebinit the X.log file [06:00] oem: heh, well, wireless is a bit tricky in ubuntu - which wireless card/chip do you have? [06:00] Gnea: why not use the logfile it already creates? [06:00] onats: all boot scripts have to complete before boot completes. So a boot script that sleeps will delay startup. I dunno much about tomcat. Maybe there is a better solution. Try google? [06:00] jmalicki: because this isn't appended [06:00] ah [06:01] Gnea: hmm, the one X writes on its own doesn't seem to be either [06:02] Gnea: XorgKill combo doesn't work [06:02] aphisone: what does /var/log/Xorg.0.log say? [06:02] aphisone: does it bring up a grey screen with a cursor? [06:03] Gnea: no a black screen with pixlated lines at the top [06:04] aphisone: okay, you should be able to kill it like this: killall -9 X [06:04] jmalicki: wait one... I have to reboot my computer now [06:04] aphisone: you could ssh into it [06:04] Gnea: I can't get back to my term 1 [06:04] aphisone: ctrl-alt-f1 should do it [06:05] i want to test remote desktop on xubuntu.. could anyone be a partner? [06:05] Gnea: I tried that millions of time... sadly, no luck [06:05] aphisone: how about this: alt-sysrq-k [06:05] Gnea: already rebooting [06:05] heh alright [06:06] anyone? this is the first time i am trying it out [06:06] Gnea: I was in a real pissy mood earlier... now I've accepted my fait [06:06] aphisone: btw, if you install the dontzap package, and then run: sudo dontzap --disable it will allow ctrl-alt-backspace to work [06:07] !dontzap [06:07] To re-enable the Ctrl+Alt+Backspace combination that restarts your X server, you can install the "dontzap" package and use the command « sudo dontzap --disable ». The combination Alt+SysRq+K can also be used to obtain a similar effect. [06:07] hey [06:07] my computer has 4 sata slots and 2 ide, i can't boot from the idea [06:07] ide [06:07] Gnea: if one installs dontzap does alt+sysrq+k still restart X [06:08] think its motherboard support issue? [06:09] ok so nothing will open standard.dic, and open office itself shows me the list of words i need to export/import but in it's infinite wisdow it will not let me select or copy them, does anyone have any idea how to make standard.dic readable? [06:09] bastid_raZor: yes. [06:09] bastid_raZor: alt+sysrq+k effectively nails a terminal to its core. [06:09] #audio [06:10] omg sad thing happened to my friend he ran sudo rm -rf / :/ not knowing the ramifications of that command [06:10] axle: doubt it, you probably don't have the correct boot order set in the bios [06:10] DrHouse|Compaq: why?

[06:10] Gnea: the Xorg.0.log http://pastebin.com/fa401c18 [06:11] some guy on chat on another network [06:11] DrHouse|Compaq, thats probably because everyone is trying to security through obscurity, i'd personally compile a list of commands to NEVER run and put it in the topic.

I would like you guys to suggest me a partition where I can keep this data so that when I do a clean install, i can format '/' '/home' and get a clean system without leftover files. [06:11] I have been using '/' and '/home' for the past couple few years with '/home' containing all the data. But since it contain .themes, .metacity and all those directories, I want to format '/home' too when doing a clean install. [06:11] What partition should I create for storing data(music,videos,documents etc) ? [06:11] RRRXXX: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:11] there's a pretty big post on ubuntuforums about commands for beginners [06:12] I've just connected to an ubuntu server I'm running and have been greeted with: "You have a new mail." Can anyone tell me what generated this and where I might pick up the message? [06:12] theoros, i've read on many support forums where people emtnion commands that do things of that sort and then say "but i wont tell you just in case" plus in ehre i think there is a bot command that talks about devastating commands but it does not list them [06:12] that was a genuine question [06:12] why ban ? [06:12] is there a tool to map wifi signal strengths in ubuntu (eg heatmapper for windows)? [06:12] can a bad hard drive prevent gnome partitioner live cd from loading? anybody?? [06:12] RRRXXX, too much text too fast [06:12] RRRXXX: You were banned temporarily to stop the flooding. [06:12] RRRXXX, you said question with too many lines and triggered spambot [06:12] RRRXXX: Too many messages in quick succession [06:12] aphisone: okay. the reason I asked for the X.log file was to eliminate the possibility of getting the useless fglrx info there. [06:12] ok [06:13] RRRXXX: Best to keep everything in one line. [06:13] Gnea: okay [06:13] RRRXXX: please don't paste more than 2 lines at a time. [06:13] ok [06:13] axle: please do not PM me. [06:13] axle: chat here, please. I can't help you in PM. [06:14] I have a accumulated lot of data on my Ubuntu PC. I would like you guys to suggest me a partition where I can keep this data so [06:14] that when I do a clean install, i can format '/' '/home' and get a clean system without leftover files. [06:14] I have been using '/' and '/home' for the past couple few years with '/home' containing all the data. But since it [06:14] RRRXXX: I usually make a /data [06:14] ok [06:14] thanks [06:14] RRRXXX: Just remove your dotfiles [06:14] that helped [06:15] k sorry [06:15] so this /data partition does not have any hidden files right from the os ? [06:15] RRRXXX: I made it out of thin air on another partition, somewhere. [06:15] ok , removing hidden files will also do. thanks guys [06:15] RRRXXX: /data would be one that you make... the system wouldn't use it unless you tell it to [06:15] well the thing is i tried to put 2 seperate IDE drives in this comp and they crash when windows tries to load, yes they work in other machines [06:15] RRRXXX: they're only there if you put them there [06:15] ok [06:15] thans Gnea [06:15] thanks for the help [06:16] Bye === qi is now known as heqi [06:16] am i the only person in the word that wants to open this file? i just googled "open standard.dic" and got a single useless result [06:16] sometimes it sucks being a pioneer :P [06:16] axle: ok, but the system is going to see them in a certain boot order - HDD-0, HDD-1, HDD-2, and so on - you have to make sure you have the order correct in order for the boot order to work correctly [06:17] im manually selecting them === scribebox is now known as Scribebox [06:17] Is there an RFC for SSL [06:17] axle: define 'manually' [06:17] linuxninja: probably [06:17] pressing f12, selecting HD, then picking the IBM IDE drive [06:17] Gnea: I can't find one. There is an RFC for TLS. [06:17] hi all i don't know if it is the same in ubuntu but the power manager in ubuntu netbook remix doesn't have an option to set a power management profile. Isn't it odd that you can not set it to always powersave in a netbook where it is crucial? [06:17] linuxninja: weird [06:18] linuxninja: 4251 [06:18] axle: maybe you don't have the MBR mapped correctly [06:18] hi i am facing issues with video.. can anyone help? [06:18] i tried unplugging the ata but it didnt help, i just really need windows to do XNA unfortunetly [06:18] aphisone: Let me take a look [06:18] when i watch a youtube video in full screen the video is trailing.. ie the transitions are not smooth [06:18] how good does work CADs in virtualbox (VMware xen) what is your advice? [06:18] it works in another computer though [06:18] i guess this is a video driver issue [06:18] i used to face a similar problem in windows when i didnot install the motherboard video drivers [06:18] linuxninja: 4252 [06:18] aphisone: okay, did you try the dontzap thing? [06:18] Besogon: try #vmware or #vbox not here [06:18] any solutions ?? [06:19] and it tries to boot, it just crashes and restarts [06:19] like i even get, start in safe mode etc/// [06:19] Besogon: or perhaps #ubuntu-offtopic [06:19] but then it just crashes and restarts [06:19] aphisone: That's the RFC for SSH. I'm looking for SSL [06:19] tp_: install the correct video driver. [06:20] linuxninja: have you tried google for this? [06:21] linuxninja: http://www.webstart.com/jed/papers/HRM/references/ssl.html I don't think SSL has an RFC, but TLS does, and SSL relies on TLS. === sar4j1 is now known as sar4j [06:21] WIGGMPk: Yup... [06:21] Gnea: I have it installed... I ran the dontzap command... should I try the X >& X.log command again [06:21] aphisone: please [06:21] Gnea: That's my conclusion as well.. No RFC for SSL [06:21] Is there a flavour of UBuntu that's very minimalistic on install and comes with only a few apps like a browser or so so that I can install only what I want on it and not worry about breaking metapackages? [06:21] could the hard drive being made in 99 be the problem? [06:21] linuxninja: because SSL isn't that low-level, whereas TLS is [06:22] axle: probably [06:22] Gnea: I see... Well, sorta... Thanks for the info... [06:22] Gnea: the system is actually halted... no response === sar4j is now known as help [06:22] axle: anything over 6 or 7 years old deserves to be replaced [06:22] that's all i can think of, it work in the older MB that uses IDE [06:23] aphisone: where is it halted at? [06:23] yeah, i just got an old one dropped off to stick windows on, im trying to avoid resizing my ext3 cause its encrypted with LUKS\ [06:23] axle: could be a bad cable, maybe? [06:23] lol, ubuntu itself can read the file, it prints the first couple words in the icon for the text file renamed from standard.dic, btu when you pen the file to see asain chaarcters instead of the words, what encoding is ubuntu useing to generate the preview thumbnail for text files? [06:23] no, its the cable my cdrom drive uses [06:23] Gnea: starting the display... black screen with dispixlated lines at the top [06:24] axle: that's why. NEVER connect an IDE cdrom and hard drive on the same channel. separate them. [06:24] Unable to play a movie DVD in Jaunty. dvdcss2 installed. What gives? [06:24] they are seperate, i only have 1 molex connector :P [06:24] Out of curiosity, what GIMP plugins do you guys tend to use? There's a REALLY big repository I'm aware of, but which do you guys tend to use? [06:24] so i can only plug in 1 at a time [06:24] axle: power isn't the difference, it's the fact that they're using the same *IDE* cable. [06:24] is there a way i can kill a listening socket? the using process cannot restart immediately because socket is "already in use" [06:25] axle: also, the drive may not like being automatically detected by the bios [06:25] they are using the same cable, but not at the same time [06:25] axle: do you have it set to M, S or CS? [06:25] M [06:25] axle: try CS [06:26] kk, i was thinking that, but i dont even know what cable select is for really [06:26] aphisone: and alt+sysrq+k dosn't quell it? [06:26] axle: it just lets the cable determine the arrangement of the drives [06:26] Gnea: no it doesn't [06:27] axle: it's called "cable select" because the placement on the IDE cable "selects" whether it's master or slave. be sure to physically disconnect the IDE cable from the cdrom, whether it's powered or not.

[06:34] try puppylinux [06:34] or damn small linux [06:34] aphisone: hrm... can you pastebin your xorg.conf? [06:34] mib: your problem is that the feisty repositories are no longer supported.. [06:34] mib: There are some much lighter distros than Ubuntu. (I use Arch.) Or, take a look at http://pidgin.im/download/ubuntu/ [06:34] I don't like Arch [06:34] Slackware for me :D [06:35] Gnea: sure... it's been changed a few million times.. but I'll give you the one that just ran [06:35] grawity,so i could install othr versio of pidgin?/ [06:35] mib: yeah, fiesty isn't supported anymore, I would encourage you to upgrade to 8.04 or newer [06:35] aphisone: lol ok [06:35] mib: kinda. (But seriously, get rid of Feisty.) [06:35] mib: yeah, you'll need to install from source probably, i'll look for one [06:35] but would it usually wash away all the current stuffs in my hd?

[06:36] aphisone: okay, change "fglrx" to "radeon" [06:36] Gnea: that was the only config that would allow me to come back from X [06:37] total would be 5 G and free 1Gb [06:37] :( [06:37] Gnea: he can't do an apt-get upgrade because the feisty repositories are gone [06:37] mib: still possible to upgrade. [06:37] zenxr: doesn't matter. [06:37] Well actually I believed they just moved them [06:37] Yeah it is possible [06:37] mib: Do you happen to have a USB pendrive?

[06:47] aphisone: maybe? can you get to the terminal or stop it now? [06:47] Gnea: no... [06:47] aphisone: can you post your xorg.conf?

[06:59] sauvin_: pulseaudio was implemented poorly and is prolly muted [06:59] How to unmute it? [07:00] WIGGMPk: I've tried so many different things to try to get it to work... if only there was roll-back on time! [07:00] sauvin_: open the sound properties? unclick the mute button [07:00] sauvin: same thing for your mic too, if you got one, click speaker at top [07:00] Where are "sound properties"? This is kubuntu, mind. [07:00] aphisone: have you tried "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg" [07:00] WIGGMPk: yes [07:00] sauvin_: I have no idea.. I use GNOME [07:01] aphisone: be back in a sec..

[07:04] #c# looks strange :d [07:04] zenxr: but technically valid [07:04] sounds good, thanx [07:04] I get the bootloader screen when I boot into the system regularly. [07:04] WIGGMPk: ^ [07:05] aphisone: ok, I take it the card is an add on and not integrated? [07:05] WIGGMPk: laptop [07:05] aphisone: ouch.. has the drivers EVER worked? the ATI drivers that is [07:05] WIGGMPk: Toshiba Satellite S7901 [07:05] for the last 4 months [07:06] aphisone: any changes made before they "stopped" working [07:06] WIGGMPk, I fired up alsamixer and made sure everything there was turned up; does your 'sound properties' hit something else? [07:06] WIGGMPk: I was changing configurations in the ATI catylist config app from the GUI [07:07] sauvin_: well alsamixer is just ALSA not pulseaudio.. [07:07] hi guys. I'm trying to set up Ubuntu in a VM, and the networking isn't working. I have the network adapter working, and I can ping stuff on my lan. How do I Ubuntu "hey, this is the router. It connects to the whole wide Interwebs"! [07:07] Is there a command line equivalent for pulse? [07:07] WIGGMPk: the screen started acting funny and at reboot the system was doing this [07:07] err, "how do I tell Ubuntu" [07:08] sauvin_: That happens to me all the time, reboot cures it. [07:08] !@#$!@%@!#$ [07:08] This is why I ditched Ubuntu LAST time. [07:08] ZachPruckowski: Set the gateway, or the DNS. [07:08] Yeah, it still happens. [07:08] WIGGMPk: except for the fact that the black screen had dispixlated colored lines at the top [07:09] Rabbit - what do I put in for -net in my route command? [07:09] aphisone: did you install the drivers via jockety-gtk (are you using GNOME)? [07:09] kk, well, this is one lappie gonna hafta remain a Windows machine until plan B presents itself. Either Jaunty Jackalope, or this lappie, or *both*, are just too broken to mess with. [07:09] ZachPruckowski: no idea.

[07:11] err, nvm. 0.0.0.0 with a netmask of 0.0.0.0 works [07:12] because that was mentioned in the ifconfig man page? [07:12] WIGGMPk: I am using GNOME... and I can't be sure if I remember how I installed them... I think I just installed from sysnaptic and the system drivers app [07:12] ZachPruckowski: there's a text file, /etc/networking or something. [07:12] aphisone: can you get to a TTL or a terminal of any kind? [07:13] WIGGMPk: I boot into single user mode === ripps_ is now known as ripps [07:13] aphisone: what version of ubuntu we dealing with here? [07:13] WIGGMPk: 9.04 Desktop [07:14] WIGGMPk: fully up to date [07:14] Has anyone had any experience with dual-booting xp and ubuntu? [07:14] syntex: yes === prince_j1mmys is now known as prince_jammys [07:15] syntex: there is an application to install dual-boot Ubuntu from Windows [07:15] aphisone: man I wish you remember how you installed them.. from the restricted drivers manager or from ATI's website? [07:15] Well, I just tried to create my dual-boot (which worked). However, I couldn't discover how to install Ubuntu onto the 2nd partition made by XP. [07:15] syntex: wubi http://wubi-installer.org/ [07:16] So instead of having them on 2 seperate logical drives, Ubuntu merged them both onto one full NTFS partition. [07:16] WIGGMPk: that makes 3 of us [07:16] syntex: can you boot into both of them? [07:17] aphisone: alright.. well lets just try and remove this "sudo apt-get remove --purge xorg-driver-fglrx" [07:17] Yes I can. [07:17] aphisone: However, I would like to have them on 2 seperate 20GB logical drives as opposed to sharing a 40Gb NTFS. [07:18] syntex: okay... if you boot into windows, can you remove everything that was installed for ubuntu? [07:19] aphisone: I haven't looked completely. However, I can't see any Linux-orintated files when I boot into XP. [07:19] aphisone: sorry about that, any luck yet? [07:19] Gnea: not at all... lol :( [07:20] syntex: how did you do the install [07:20] Gnea: im trying to have aphisone remove the ATI driver (along with the config file) and reinstall [07:20] heya all... [07:20] aphisone: did that work ? [07:20] WIGGMPk: I am removing now [07:20] WIGGMPk: done [07:20] WIGGMPk: ok [07:21] aphisone: after thats finished run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg" [07:21] aphisone: I installed XP first, I did a 20GB partition. After it finished installing, I installed Ubuntu 9 off the LiveCD. I choose to install them side-by-side as I couldn't find out how to choose my 2nd partition to install on. [07:21] aphisone: I left my 2nd partition as raw. [07:21] aphisone: after that.. "sudo apt-get install build-essential cdbs fakeroot dh-make debhelper debconf libstdc++5 dkms" [07:21] aphisone: ^ should already be installed but hey.. [07:21] Okay, I did a dumb thing and I can't figure out how to fix it. My files are owned by user:root, they're chmod 700, and they're on an external FAT32. I need user:user and 755. What do I do? [07:22] syntex: When I install xp and ubuntu to dual boot I use xp's partitioner to make it's own small partition leaving the rest of the harddrive blank, then I install ubuntu from cd using it's partitioner to make 2 gigs for SWAP space and the rest of the free space for an ext3 partition that holds ubuntu. No need to tell it about windows, it will sense it and add it to GRUB as a selection when booting [07:22] how to make a partition on existing hdd of 40gb running ubuntu... resize etc ? [07:22] boot to live disk and run gparted [07:22] syntex: you have to make sure every partition is delected except for the xp partition when you start with the ubuntu installer [07:22] Rabbitbunny: If the drive's in /etc/fstab, add fmask=0133,dmask=22,uid=1000,gid=1000 === syntax is now known as Guest71256 [07:22] thank you very much for your help [07:22] valley: So, I don't do any partioning in xp. I do it all in Ubuntu? [07:23] Rabbitbunny: don't use FAT32 [07:23] syntex: yes, except for telling xp to make it's own partition [07:23] Rabbitbunny: er, correction. fmask=0133,dmask=022,uid=1000,gid=1000 [07:23] syntex: the rest should be UNPARTITIONED [07:23] Rabbitbunny: and yeah, don't use FAT [07:23] oh god dont use fat [07:24] WIGGMPk: 8 newly installed... hrmm [07:24] Well, I didn't know there was a difference, and it let me put files on there... [07:24] Rabbitbunny: FAT32 serves only one purpose in the unix world: storage. [07:24] snezze near your pc is bad enough to cause corruption [07:24] aphisone: maybe fakeroot and dependancies [07:24] valley: Ah okay. What option do I choose when installing Ubuntu to assign it to the unpartitioned space? [07:24] i have a laptop running ubuntu with a 40gb hdd, how can i resize it 50 /50 , and install xp on the made partition ? [07:24] aphisone: now just "sudo apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx" [07:24] Rabbitbunny: FAT is quite an old filesystem, is unreliable. If you need Windows compatibility, NTFS is much better. [07:24] nextstar, boot to ubuntu live disk and run gparted [07:24] aphisone: take notice if it says its updating xorg.conf [07:25] NeXstaR: when you come to partitioning for XP tell it to use 20Gb of the space and leave the rest unpartitioned [07:25] grawity: There's like 800gb on there now. too late to change. [07:25] It should have told me that before I put files on it. [07:25] Rabbitbunny: 800 GB? Didn't think FAT32 even supports sizes like that :| [07:25] WIGGMPk: m4, autoconf, autotools-dev, automake, fdupes, intltool, cdbs, dh-make [07:25] Gnea: fat32 isnt hugely good as storage due to max file limits [07:25] syntex: I usually do the manual paritition management. Tell it to make 2 gigabyes of SWAP in a partition. Then tell it to use the rest of the free space for an ext3 parition [07:25] Rabbitbunny: holy.... did you make a 1TB FAT32 partition? [07:25] axle and ActionParsnip ubuntu is already installed on my laptop's hdd , whole 40gb is used how to resize ? [07:25] ActionParsnip: on USB drives, it's great [07:25] I don't want to say yes... [07:26] Gnea: NTFS! [07:26] aphisone: for compile from source (thats plan B) [07:26] syntex: I'm confident that telling it to use automatically use the free space though would work [07:26] Gnea: true but you cant store a dvd iso ;) [07:26] Rabbitbunny: and yet, you've already alluded to it.. just admit it and we can move forward :) [07:26] Rabbitbunny: Anyway, just don't forget that FAT32 has a limit of 4 GB per file. Might cause problems later. [07:26] NeXstaR: boot to live cd and use gparted [07:26] syntex: A benifit of doing it manually though is the option of using EXT4 instead of ext3 [07:26] ActionParsnip: yeah, too many restrictions [07:26] nextstar: boot from your ubuntu live cd, then run sudo gparted, you might be able to do it from your system but im not sure [07:26] valley: So when doing it manually, I can select the Unportitioned space? Will it be hd0,1? Or something like that? [07:26] grawity: Thanks, btw. [07:26] WIGGMPk: I do compile from source...

I even get it on sudo dpkg --configure -a [08:17] well, thank you all, i'm leaving to make a few tests, see you soonnn [08:17] have a nice day [08:17] WIGGMPk: yes... I was just saying [08:17] jess12345: not sure, sorry [08:17] man, foss software is soo great [08:17] aphisone: oh.. well im pretty much at an end of knowledge here.. lol [08:18] whatt?? tomas1, are you saying that wine can just open 1 window at time? [08:18] i solute the people that make it possible [08:18] that's terrible! i thought i could open multiple at once :S [08:18] tomas1: sure, press alt+f2 and type: wine ~/.wine/drive_c/etc/etc/run.exe [08:18] is there anyway to save the video in http://www.omroepflevoland.nl/Nieuws/62604/eerste-schooldag-voor-montessorischool-muziekwijk ? [08:18] miguelonnnn i have tryed opening two aps at once and they dont work [08:18] WIGGMPk: I'm gonna test it out here is the xorg.conf http://pastebin.com/f2ef47caa [08:18] well please try what ActionParsnip says, and report back if it works please (: [08:19] tomas1: or whatever you wanna run. If you launch from cli, you can add & to the end of the command and you will get control of the terminal back, wine also has an ubuntu menu item which you can use to launch multiple apps [08:19] tomas1: don't open them at the same time. open the first then the second. each a seperate command. [08:19] fredl, you need to find the link for that video in source page and use 'wget to pull that file [08:19] aphisone: awesome.. well im glad you have a desktop now [08:19] fredl: refresh the page bypassing cache, start the video, let it play to the end, then check /var/tmp [08:19] WIGGMPk: thank you [08:19] !cookie | WIGGMPk .. that took nearly 2 hours. [08:19] WIGGMPk .. that took nearly 2 hours.: Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! [08:19] aphisone: thank you, it was fun [08:20] HA [08:20] fredl, i cannot see such link, javascript is used, so i guess there is no easy way for that [08:20] vikas - tried that but can't find which is the source. [08:20] WIGGMPk: that is honestly the first time someone has told me that... where are you from? [08:20] theoros - I'll try that! [08:20] aphisone: Pennsylvannia US [08:21] WIGGMPk: currently in FL from CA [08:21] WIGGMPk: hey... this is working and I have time to sleep... you rock... [08:21] aphisone: Cali is fun, for a lil (no offense) too buy for me though [08:21] aphisone: gnite === yacc__ is now known as yacc [08:22] err busy not buy [08:22] WIGGMPk: I can't sleep now... lol... adrenalin is pumping... half to relax with a game of gewled [08:22] lol gridwars2 FTW [08:23] WIGGMPk: I lived there 18 years before joining the governments elite... lol... I think it's a hell hole [08:24] aphisone: the "governments elite" ? are we talking the terminator?

[08:24] WIGGMPk: lol... the Navy [08:24] theoros - don't find any flash file in /var/tmp. Emptied the cache, reloaded the page, let it play through the end and checked /var/tmp [08:25] try /tmp/ [08:25] fredl: which browser? [08:25] oh yeah it may be /tmp [08:25] reload the the page, watch /tmp/ folder for growing file size [08:25] firefox 3.0.13 [08:25] you should in all likelihood find an .flv file [08:25] it just may not have .flv on the end [08:25] no file extension at all, u just have to watch the file size and rename the eextension [08:25] hello [08:26] I did file * in /tmp [08:26] idyllic: that really is hard to read as a tab-complete [08:26] only have directories there. [08:26] can someone test their ubuntu 9.04 x86 for "iostat -n" stack smashing ? [08:26] fredl: did you have /tmp and /var/tmp open as you refreshed? [08:26] did find /tmp -exec file {} \; [08:27] what up? [08:27] hello ya'll [08:27] just keep both folders open and watch for it to pop into existence (or not) [08:27] why is my text gray when i type? [08:27] theoros - nope I hadn't. Let me try again. [08:27] in this chat i mean [08:27] Zachk18: that's a question concerning your IRC client. [08:27] fredl: if you want to download youtube style files theres youtube-dl [08:28] can someone test iostat please [08:28] theoros: like the message you just sent me is red...why? [08:28] Zachk18: your IRC client makes it that way. [08:28] if ur firefox cache is large enough, the file will store in /home/$USER/.mozilla/firefox//Cache [08:28] ok [08:28] Zachk18: #xchat [08:28] theoros: thanks [08:28] ActionParsnip, I'm not sure if it's youtube style though. [08:28] can someone read me ? :) [08:28] idyllic, lemme check that first then as this clip isn't so large so it might fit [08:28] fredl: i'd give it a shot, its free to try [08:29] definitely ActionParsnip, tnx. [08:29] or try an firefoxaddon - video downloder [08:29] mator: I use karmic, sorry [08:29] i use jaunty [08:29] it rocks [08:29] So.. I've added a third party repo, and the gpg part won't work. I don't have pubring.gpg What is it and where do I get it? [08:29] Zachk18, jaunty is 9.04 ? [08:29] Gnight Yall [08:29] yes [08:29] Zachk18, do you have sysstat package installed ? [08:29] what is that? [08:30] a package ? [08:30] for what exactly [08:30] sysstat - isn't it obvious ? [08:30] hmm in my .firefox cache I have AC1E688Fd01: Macromedia Flash data (compressed), version 6 [08:30] Zachk18: if you run: dpkg -l | grep syss what does it output? [08:30] why do you want me to run that [08:30] can try rename it to fredl.flv [08:31] Zachk18, for test, as i kindly asking you [08:31] How can I copy files from one directory to another using a file list I have. [08:31] ? [08:31] histo, by using tar ? [08:31] Zachk18: mator whats to find out some output of some command. I'm not sure what it is but if you can run it and evaluate the output as not security threatening can you please provide him a pastebin of the output you get [08:31] idyllic, done. double clicked on it, movieplayer won't play it. [08:31] well i just don't run a command cause somebody asks me too [08:31] mator: can you eloborate? [08:32] idyllic, should I use another player? [08:32] Zachk18: wise [08:32] mplayer doesn't do it either.... [08:32] ActionParsnip: thank you [08:32] how big the file size first? [08:32] idyllic, 110K [08:32] hey does anyone here use thunderbird? what happens when i am using gmail imap with it and i delete an email [08:32] trying to connect to internet from netbook via USB connection to windows mobile. I can ping the world, and I can SSH back to my broadband connection. But wget and firefox fail. Any ideas? [08:32] I cant get jaadu to work in wine it doesnt start up I have the vnc sever too can anyone help????? [08:32] what happens on the gmail server? [08:32] i use thunderbird [08:33] also, when i read a message in thunderbird, does it get marked at read on the gmail serveR? [08:33] idyllic, and it says on 'file test.flv': test.flv: Macromedia Flash data (compressed), version 6 [08:33] glicks: Those are both options. [08:33] hmph, very unlikely a video file. How abt you clear the firefox cache first then relaod the page? Then watch ur cache folder. [08:33] Rabbitbunny, where do i set those [08:33] if someone can help me with jaadu stating message me please.... [08:33] in gmail options [08:33] glicks: In preferences, in thuindrbird. [08:33] idyllic, ok. [08:33] Zachk18: from: http://linux.die.net/man/1/iostat :The iostat command generates two types of reports, the CPU Utilization report and the Device Utilization report. [08:34] starting* [08:34] so it's a valid command ActionParsnip? [08:34] Rabbitbunny: can you provide a pastebin of the output you get please [08:34] histo, tar have file list option, like "tar -T filenames.txt -cf - /copy/from | tar -C /copy/out -xf -" [08:34] glicks: Yes, it should have also asked you when you setup IMAP access. [08:34] ActionParsnip: Sure. [08:34] Zachk18: looks like some CPU probing thing [08:34] Rabbitbunny, what should have? [08:34] hmmm.....sounds a little fishy [08:34] Zachk18, no need, thank you [08:35] anyone else have ubuntu 9.04 ? [08:35] i dont see those options anywhere [08:35] is it possible to install thunderbird on a drive i made with trucrypt so i can have an encrypted drive and encrypted email on it? [08:35] ah ok [08:35] ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/d790ac09f [08:35] can someone help me with a program called jaadu?? [08:35] mator: won't that compress them? [08:35] yes...if it's portable [08:35] if what is portable [08:35] histo, tar don't compress, untill you say it so (like -z command line option) [08:35] i have encrypted mail on ubuntu but its not hidden [08:35] Rabbitbunny: ok what is the output of: ls -la /home/desktop/.gnupg/pubring.gpg you can paste it in here [08:35] glicks: Just check you account options in GMail, and your preferences in Thunderbird. It's in there somewhere, I know I had to set it. [08:36] I also cant install java can anyone help with that?? [08:36] !java | justin__ [08:36] justin__: To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository [08:36] ActionParsnip: -rw------- 1 root root 4128 2009-06-11 08:08 /home/desktop/.gnupg/pubring.gpg [08:36] Rabbitbunny: bingo! [08:36] justin__, you can install java from repository [08:36] Rabbitbunny, yes, i get those options with POP [08:36] but not with imap [08:36] justin__, from package manager [08:36] idyllic, largest file in my cache is 132K after reloading. [08:36] Rabbitbunny: have you been running gui apps with sudo, like sudo nautilus? [08:37] ActionParsnip: That broke this too?!? [08:37] no... one's 123K, that most recent file is the 110K file again. [08:37] * Rabbitbunny broke everything today [08:37] Rabbitbunny: yes, this is why sudo is NOT for gui app, you will garbage ownerships just like you have now [08:37] can pass me the link? i try on my side [08:37] ok my questions have been answered by reading the gmail readme [08:37] :) [08:37] morning all [08:37] http://www.omroepflevoland.nl/Nieuws/62604/eerste-schooldag-voor-montessorischool-muziekwijk [08:37] Rabbitbunny: gksudo is for use with gui apps, sudo is ONLY for command line apps [08:37] it's only a short video. [08:38] so maybe 110K is right? [08:38] ActionParsnip: I saw you tell someone that before... I think it's also what made the files on my external drive all messed up. [08:38] Rabbitbunny: you cant write to the file as its owned by root due to you running gui apps with sudo and garbageing your permissions [08:38] Rabbitbunny: this is exactly what i was meaning [08:38] Rabbitbunny: do you see now? [08:38] Well, I did it, and it was dumb. [08:39] idyllic, nah, too long a clip to be 110K [08:39] i can't open your link. XML error. Maybe you can upload to say mediafire.com [08:39] Rabbitbunny: sudo chown $USER:$USER /home/desktop/.gnupg/pubring.gpg [08:39] Rabbitbunny: that will set the ownership back [08:39] XML error?? How odd. uhh I'll have to check onto mediafire.com then hang on [08:40] Rabbitbunny: if tis happens to more sensitive files you will not be able to even log on as you to change the ownership back and you would have to mess around booting to root recovery mode to run the command [08:40] nvm fredl about mediafire. [08:40] since you think it is not the right video file. but the link is not working for me =/ [08:40] ActionParsnip: So... would you happen to know how to fix files on a MyBook that's FAT32? [08:40] Rabbitbunny: i suggest you run this just to cover all bases: cd /home; sudo chown -R $USER:USER ./$USER [08:41] Rabbitbunny: fat32 cant hold linux permissions so you dont have to sweat it [08:41] idyllic - confused :/ [08:41] ActionParsnip: No really, it's messed up. It won't let me do anything with them [08:41] can the flash player download files by itself outside of the firefox cache 'n all? [08:42] Rabbitbunny: check your mount options for it [08:42] Sorry >.<. The problem is I can't open your link. The error is "XML Parsing Error: not well-formed" [08:42] !mount | Rabbitbunny [08:42] Rabbitbunny: mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount [08:43] idyllic, are you also using firefox then? [08:43] so what's goin on? [08:43] ActionParsnip: You just fixed everything I've spent four hours trying to figure out. I... I think I love you. [08:43] i'm like....listenin to Def Leppard.... [08:43] Rabbitbunny: easy man [08:43] Yes. But I'm on 3.5.2 [08:43] how would I specify an output directory doing something like. cat filelist.txt | xargs cp ?????? [08:44] I want it to cp each filename from filelist to a destination just can't figure out the destination part. [08:44] can anyone help me with vnc shit??? [08:44] please?// [08:44] !language > justin__ [08:44] justin__, please see my private message [08:45] i need vnc help [08:45] im a newb [08:45] idyllic, I just read on a page somewhere that I need to quit firefox. Did that without cleaning up the cache and now there's more files in the cache [08:46] Rabbitbunny: use gksudo in future for gui apps or this will happen again [08:46] idyllic, tried playing the largest file with mplayer but mplayer says: Compressed SWF format not supported [08:46] !vnc | justin__ [08:46] justin__: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX [08:46] ActionParsnip: Yes, It turns out that's very, very important. [08:46] Rabbitbunny: i keep telling people... ;) [08:46] Rabbitbunny: at least you learned [08:47] Sadly, the hard way. [08:47] Rabbitbunny: fwiw, you can use gksudo with cli commands too [08:47] * Rabbitbunny forgets sudo exists [08:47] Rabbitbunny: people like to learn the hard way, specially about backups :( [08:48] >.< regardint the error, i think you need to convert into other format first. Also it is puzzling that i can't view your posted link at all [08:48] idyllic, supposedly 'gnash' and 'swfdec' can play compressed flash movies [08:49] fredl: try vlc [08:49] theoros, vlc also says it's not supported [08:49] last resort is use recordyourdesktop, I know it is very extremely inelegant but u can get your video without hassle of conversion [08:50] gnash does play it but it's not the video I was looking for, looks like some sort of flashplayer intro. [08:50] also since i can't open your page, I don't know where it goes to and its filesize. =/ [08:50] i just installed amarok neon, but i still cant find equilize [08:51] I found two Macromedia flash data files in my cache. Tried to play both using gnash but neither is the clip I want [08:52] drop the file inside firefox. [08:52] hmm that's an idea.. hang on === SIGSEGV is now known as pjm0616 [08:53] hmm asks me if I want to open it with movieplayer :P [08:54] looks like I can't win here. [08:54] fredl: change the default playerto what you wish. === bgy is now known as _bgy === _bgy is now known as bgy [08:54] Give us the right link to the video please. That will save lots of problem [08:55] hi all, I really have a real codec problem, i've tried so many things.... Still impossible to read real audio streaming Can you help me? [08:55] well that is the right link, I just cut and pasted it from my firefox 3.0 address bar [08:56] oh wait a sec... [08:56] I've tried to read it with Mplayer, Gxine, Totem, VLC, .... still impossible [08:56] try http://www.omroepflevoland.nl/nieuws/nieuwsbericht?newsId=62604 [08:56] idyllic, does http://www.omroepflevoland.nl/nieuws/nieuwsbericht?newsId=62604 also give you an XML error? [08:57] same. Hold on i do a screenshot [08:57] brilliant, that's a site paid for by my tax euros :P [08:57] Gxine give me a library error sipr.so... [08:58] just leave it up to the govt. LOL [08:58] any idea? [08:58] Error here; http://imagebin.ca/view/Dw1CdR.html [08:59] why doesnt the thunderbird extension lightening work [08:59] ? [08:59] ls [08:59] idyllic, just ran that page through the HTML validator, 211 errors found :( [09:00] i cant add events [09:00] I would like to mount /var on a second drive. [09:00] i cant do anything in it [09:00] but I get problems with /var/run and /var/lock on boot. [09:00] is this possible to fix? [09:00] idyllic, weird error, almost like you have firefox set to do real right syntax checking. [09:00] anyone have problems with "Lightening" [09:01] I don't know what to do for you, buddy. But if you got that thing clear up, your video will be inside your cache =) [09:01] idyllic, particularly since there's no XML in that page, it's DOCTYPE -//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN [09:02] help when i do sudo dpkg-reconfigure synaptic I get an error cant locate posix.pm in @INC [09:02] what's a good desktop capturing application? [09:02] well thanks a lot for your effort anyway idyllic :) you can't help the Dutch govt. making crud webpages. [09:02] what's a good desktop capturing application? [09:02] merma: picrures or video? [09:02] pictures* [09:02] alus: We'll need exact error messages to know. [09:03] I found this with the dude have a similar issue http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=201980&page=2 [09:04] hold on, i pastebin you the error from the code [09:04] sup [09:04] idyllic, tried something else too. Looking at the firebug network accesses... [09:04] Can't get sound playing .wmv video. Mplayer tells "Requested audio codec family [wma9dmo] (afm=dmo) not available." Is there a way to obtain it? [09:04] http://pastebin.ca/1558111 . Hopefully you can get it sorted out [09:05] idyllic, there's not a single swf or flv that displays in firebug's network accesses except 'flvplayer.swf' [09:05] good morning [09:05] i have some problems with my notebook nvidia card [09:05] idyllic, it's not my site so I can't really fix it :) [09:05] adPasya: videos, im going to try recordmydesktop and istanbul [09:06] when i shutdown or hibernate the notebook, after reboot the internal display of the notebook stays black [09:07] Rabbitbunny: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sysvinit/+bug/139230 [09:08] ActionParsnip: You fixed things I didn't even know were broken, Seriously, a million thanks. [09:08] now i noticed when I connect an external display there is a image [09:09] and i can boot windows in grub [09:09] an get an image back on the internal [09:09] any ideas how i could install thunderbird into a trucrypt container, and then copy my settings and profiles over to that container? [09:09] Rabbitbunny: np :D [09:11] krdyt: you could get the source and compile it there [09:11] Can you assign as certain amount of memory to a workspace [09:12] alus: Sadly, that bug is way over my head, And has apparantly already been looked at by people that know what they're doing. It implies that there is a solution, if you read the last posted, It's marked as fixed. [09:13] alazar_, you mean download the thunderbird pack, unzip and make file then copy ./mozilla.thunderbird dir? [09:13] that's a pretty lame solution :/ [09:13] good day everybody ,how to paly swf in ubunu ? [09:13] var can simply be symlinked on other distros [09:14] alus: Mention that on the bug page? [09:14] krdyt: yeah, although i'm not sure about the settings [09:15] ll [09:15] oops wrong window [09:15] it's two years old :/ [09:16] and? if it's still broken, it's still broken. Unless of course, ubuntu has crazy rules about these things. [09:17] ill try im not really sure how to make source though [09:17] ./config then makefile or make? [09:17] ./configure [09:18] and make [09:19] Ahoy [09:20] anyone else having issues with "Lightening" addon for thunderbird? [09:22] dehqan; have you installed ubuntu-restricted-extras?

[09:44] you didn't install it via the repo [09:45] noobez: you dont need the .deb bit [09:45] ActionParsnip: ok, without then, but is it the same? [09:45] noobez: no, its not the same [09:45] ActionParsnip: ah ok, and what's "better"? the one u suggested? whatz the difference? thank you [09:46] noobez: if you run: dpkg -l | grep then it will show you what it is called, you can then run: sudo dpkg -r ; sudo apt-get --purge autoremove [09:46] brb === ^GP-knight^ is now known as GP-knight [09:47] ActionParsnip: i got it i got it i was just wondering whatz the best command to remove a program, if dpkg or apt-get remove [09:48] noobez: they are both equal [09:48] thatz what i wanted to know, thanks [09:49] Hi, how to report or delete some confidental pastes on paste.ubuntu.com ?

[09:50] adPasya: Restricted-extras [09:50] does anyone know how to improve flash performance, because watching flash movie trailers is a bitch, i hava a dual core 2.4 ghz and 3 gb of ram,should be enough? [09:50] I use the Adobe flash (latest version) [09:51] JJ_2010: Right click, look for low quality. [09:51] JJ_2010: try this> vlc /tmp/Flash* or replace vlc with your favourite movie player, paste this in a terminal, so now start the flash movie and pause it. [09:51] Rabbitbunny: if you mean ubuntu-restricted-extras package - it is installed [09:52] adPasya: That was my one trick. Maybe look into mediabuntu, also, I remeber there being a huge FAQ about this. [09:52] Don't really like LQ stuff...really sucks [09:53] Rabbitbunny: ic. I already googled alot, and checked medibuntu also. [09:53] medibuntu has a codec package [09:53] is there a way to minimize thunderbird to tray instead of having to just minimize it [09:54] Dulak: if you mean that w64codecs - i got it.

[10:14] @ Jess, have y ou tried to use the CD and repair the install? [10:14] ive got the cd - how do i do a repair ? [10:14] jess12345: hmm there is no repair in ubuntu [10:14] I thought there was? [10:14] jess12345: what exactly is the problem you are facing? [10:15] jess12345: You get your documents off your backup. ;) [10:15] you can use the livecd to retrieve your documents [10:15] i have the following options available try ubuntu, install. check disk for defects,. boot from first hard disk (does not help that one), [10:15] hi...i want to share my wireless connection to my 2nd pc and i did all iptables etc but if i have the 2 pcs connected i don't have internet, if i remove the cable i have internet normaly...i think i have to set my pc to use the wireless connection for internet...but how do i do this? [10:15] jess12345: u need to back up yes, use live cd and back up all important stuff to pen drive maybe [10:15] indus: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=889493 [10:16] cant reinstall any packages, mend packages etc [10:16] indus: anyway i can do this witouth back up ? [10:16] jess12345: aah this is a problem with apt [10:17] jess12345: it can self heal from within the system itself [10:17] Rabbitbunny: there are mozilla settings and documetns all over the place [10:17] mozilla settings are replaceable [10:17] your personal documents are not [10:17] indus: if i go for install ubuntu will it know there is another version there ? [10:18] indus: i have already tried 'try ubuntu without any changes and i can see my old documents [10:18] indus: but i cant access them [10:18] jess12345: You're supposed to back them up _before_ this happens, Maybe next time you will. However, you should be able to boot the LIveCD, It should mount your drive, And you can simply copy your documents to another device. [10:18] theoros: they should be, users should have backups [10:18] ActionParsnip: users should have a lot of things. [10:18] ActionParsnip: and that's not really relevant to what i was saying [10:18] indeed, but they can be then restored [10:18] ActionParsnip: in the event that both are lost irretrievably, one is worse than the other [10:18] all just to be clear then if i do install ubuntu at least my old documents will still be on there ? [10:19] No. [10:19] anyone? [10:19] They will be gone, forever. [10:19] hello, grub gives error 24: attempt to access block outside partition. this happens after having restored the files in /etc/init.d/ by copying them from another similar installation and reinstalling a few packages containing the scripts. this was because I had accidentaly erased the content of /etc/init.d/. do you have any hint? [10:19] Rabbitbunny: will it clean the whole drive out ? [10:19] hi, i have a huge problem with packages: [10:19] jess12345: Yes. [10:19] http://pastebin.com/m3a6a8a36 [10:19] how can i clean it? [10:20] jess12345: What do you mean, you 'cant access them' ? [10:20] Rabbitbunny: permissions [10:20] Rabbitbunny: i can see my old drive but cant get past it [10:20] why javap cannot find my class file? its showing in ls. i couldn't find a solution... any help? anyone? [10:21] im installing the ubuntu-restricted-extras from synaptic and it says its going to remove libavcodec51, should i allow it or not? if i installed the restricted-extra removing this libavcodec51 will everything work anyway or not? thanks [10:21] Rabbitbunny: i was thinking of modifying the access via command line, installing the new version of ubuntu and then copy these over to the new partition ? [10:21] jess12345: you mean modify the access, move the files elsewhere, and install ubuntu? [10:21] jess12345: Yes, That's exactly what I was about to tell you to do. [10:21] is eth0:eth1 a sub interface or a vlan interface? [10:22] Rabbitbunny: i meant install ubuntu into another partition and the get the files later ? [10:22] jess12345: Right, just amke sure you don't overwrite your files, try copying them to a flash drive or something if you can. [10:22] Rabbitbunny: theoros: the options i have are: where do you want to put ubuntu (1) Side by side choosing between them each start up (2) use entire disk (3) specify partions) [10:23] Rabbitbunny: so i was going to choose (1) and then recover the docs later ? but why cant i just fix the old version ? [10:23] marek-try: what command creates that output? [10:23] why can't you just use the livecd to modify the permissions, get all of your files, then just install fully over? [10:23] jess12345: Really, you want 2, but you need to get your files first. [10:23] Hi guys [10:23] jess12345: I don't know what's wrong with your current install. [10:24] Rabbitbunny: i was going to use option (1) so i have 2 versions of ubuntu side by side [10:24] Rabbitbunny: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=889493 this is the exact problem [10:24] i have problems installing ms-corefonts packacage. it always freezes and doesnt install. and any time i try to install ANY package it tries to install that and fails. can someone tell me where to find the .deb file so i dont have to install it from the failing repos. thanmks [10:24] i have problems installing ms-corefonts packacage. it always freezes and doesnt install. and any time i try to install ANY package it tries to install that and fails. can someone tell me where to find the .deb file so i dont have to install it from the failing repos. thanmks [10:24] fabio: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[10:24] i wanna add a rule in iptables so that a particular port is accessible only from a specified ip address ... how do i do that? [10:24] good day everybody ,where should mplayer codecs be copied ? how to use them ? [10:25] Rabbitbunny: is there any way to fix the existing ubuntu install using the disk ? [10:25] jess12345: that sort of depends on knowing what the exact problem with the install is [10:25] jess12345: but why can't you use the livecd to alter the permissions? [10:25] Rabbitbunny: i can access the internet and updates etc but this perl thing is broken [10:26] theoros: yes that is what i was going to do, alter permissions, but i will end up with 2 versions of ubuntu on the machine [10:26] what? [10:26] the livecd gives you a working operating system without any installation [10:26] jess12345: This doesn't sound hard to fix, Give me a moment. [10:26] ActionParsnip -> apt-get purge [10:26] but also when i try to apt-get install kate or upgrae [10:27] marek-try: purge what? [10:27] purge kdelibs [10:27] libqt [10:27] theoros: currently have ubuntu 9.04 /dev/sda1 (which has perl broken so no desktop) also have swap /dev/sda5 and now will install 9.04 [10:27] etc [10:27] i installed some packages and then my laptop went down [10:27] jess12345: and the livecd, which will let you access files when you boot from it [10:27] in the middle of installing packages i think [10:27] Hello. I have a problem [10:27] marek-try: so you want to remove the old stuff? [10:27] yup [10:28] marek-try: try: sudo apt-get -f install [10:28] marek-try: then you will have a square system, you can then uninstall what you no longer need. [10:28] i tried, it is the same [10:28] Ubuntu will not boot after an unclean shutdown === S is now known as Guest19402 [10:28] theoros: yes i can access the old 9.04 drives easily its just that the desktop is busted, but cant repair the damn thing using command line [10:28] a [10:29] ActionParsnip [10:29] http://pastebin.com/m6f865ca [10:29] jess12345: you _boot from the livecd into the operating system which is provided by using the livecd_ [10:29] jess12345, take some deep breaths or a coffee [10:29] marek-try: then you will need to maybe use: cd /var/cache/apt/archives; sudo dpkg --force-all -i *.deb [10:29] theoros: i have postfix so if you want to see output can do this ? [10:29] theoros: if that could help shed some light [10:29] energy drinks work to [10:29] marek-try: this is the crippling weakness in package based systems [10:29] at the end of the ubuntu-restricted-extras it asks me to install sun-java, what if i dont want it? what do i need java for? ive been using my machine till now without it, can i just say no to it? thx [10:29] all this from a apt-get update :-( [10:30] jess12345: i am still not understanding why you can't boot from the livecd and use THAT operating system [10:30] jess12345, is it the only computer you have? [10:30] theoros: i can do that but its not a permanent solution is it ? [10:30] noobez: let it install, then uninstall the ubuntu-restricted-extras package (which will only uninstall the metapackage) and uninstall java packages [10:30] jess12345: it will get you your files. [10:30] jess12345: once you have the files on an external drive or something, then you fix by just installing over ubuntu [10:30] one more question, im using 9.10 with latest grub, how can i add there an option to boot into older installation? [10:31] noobez: the remaining packages will be upgraded and java will not be installed or installed later if ubuntu-restricted extras gets updated [10:31] i tried to add 11_ubuntu files and use grub update [10:31] but i failed [10:31] theoros: i couldnt be hassled with recovering all of them right now, so i just wanted to get the machine up and running and recover a select few and do the rest later [10:31] ActionParsnip: if u werent here :D google is not of help at all for these kind of little things, thanks man cya [10:31] theoros: surely there is a way to recover the old operating system ? [10:32] noobez: experience, dude ;) [10:32] jess12345: you don't have all the essential files in /home? [10:32] Ubuntu will not boot after an unclean shutdown. It says that I must run fsck manually and then asks for a root password. There is no password that I know of. HELP [10:32] ActionParsnip: i no, thatz why i come here :D eheh [10:32] noobez: if google is no good, try a different search engine [10:32] ActionParsnip: i tried on ask.com as well but with no luck [10:33] ActionParsnip: what would i need sun-java for anyway? [10:33] theoros: er now, i dont think i have been very elegant in my file keeping, they are a little over the place, if only i could fix the perl thing? [10:33] noobez: java applets in websites [10:33] where have you been storing your documents? [10:33] I need some help please someone [10:33] ActionParsnip: yeah like games online and stuff lol :D [10:33] Dishtroyer: boot to live cd and fsck your partitions [10:34] jess12345: hi u still stuck? [10:34] noobez: as well as other stuff [10:34] Please some one [10:34] help [10:34] Action: Where do I get a livecd? [10:34] theoros: i think they are all in home, or most of them but others are dottoed around, like downloads from mozilla, print to file pdf's wherever they land [10:34] Dishtroyer: its the cd you installed with (or usb) [10:34] indus: found a similar problem here, im nearly reaching a full install solution http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=889493 [10:35] indus: in fact this is the exact problem [10:35] !fsck | Dishtroyer [10:35] Dishtroyer: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot [10:35] I installed Ubuntu and now my pc can only boot from the CD [10:35] Action: Tried that. It doesn't work [10:35] indus: but im a 32bit user not 64 [10:35] jess12345: can you paste your /etc/apt/sources.list [10:36] Dishtroyer: then you need the live cd desktop [10:36] Dishtroyer: you cant fsck mounted partitions [10:36] jess12345: your problem is you are not able to install some perl package correct? [10:36] Dishtroyer: well, you can but its not advised at all [10:36] I am not sure if anyone is talking to me [10:37] indus: well this perl seems to go through all dkkg stuff basically - the main o/s works but the desktop gnome does not [10:37] arkkado: It'll light up when they do. [10:37] ok [10:37] indus: i have the postfix stuff and i can post it if this is of any use ? [10:37] Action: back to the original question. Where do I download the live cd? [10:37] can you help dud [10:37] Rabbit* [10:37] jess12345: Yes, you've got quite a serious problem. I'd totally reinstall.

[13:26] radarg: oh I crashed xp pro, but flashed Ubu net-rmx but yeah its a calamity trying to get windows back on even as a 2ndary or dual boot lol [13:26] jrib, actually i dont know anything about setting up a mailserver... i am workin on a website, to create a web mail. so i need to configure mailserver....can u just help me out [13:26] well I've got 2 virtual machines, one server, pne client [13:26] I mean I can use the dvd-rom drive [13:26] the server has two nics, one connected to nat and the other to the private internal network [13:26] konza: if you use esmtp or ssmtp then they just use an external smtp server like google's or whatever (that you configure) [13:26] I've got dhcp running on the server and its running fine, I also entered my ISP dns server in the dhcp conf file [13:26] when i first installed ubuntu server I would log in and it would display the stats since i upgraded it no longer displays the stats and logon does anyone know how to bring it back? [13:26] konza: if you want a full-fledged mta, then try exim or postfix [13:27] the client gets an ip and is able to ping external addresses [13:27] but for some reason hostnames arent resolved [13:27] jrib, smtp is just a protocol rite? [13:27] but the client does state the actual dns server I entered in my dhcp conf file [13:27] Dr_Willis: There is no lilo installed but how can it load lilo 22.8 ?

[13:30] pranav: you need to edit the lilo configs and add the other OS's then rerun the lilo command then. [13:31] amnesia: Try seeing if your dns server is actualy replying to requests: open a terminal and do the following: dig @dnsserver google.com where dnsserver is the ip of your dns server [13:31] does anyone have an idea where the file goes when i ask firefox to print a webpage to pdf [13:31] pranav: or try reinstalling grub.

[13:37] Dr_Willis: its sda sry [13:37] Dr_Willis: I mistypes [13:37] Hi, guys, I need to compile a 3G adapter driver where a kernel source is required, a few questions, 1. my kernel is 2.6.28-11, the linux-source package version says. 2.6.28.15.20, can i use it ? [13:37] indus: Then it would be non-specific to the operatinv system, no? [13:37] Dr_Willis: How can this be ? [13:37] pranav: all i can say is check out the grub homepage/docs and !fixgrub site and figure out whats going wrong. Proberly somthing simple being overlooked. [13:38] ZOO0828: you need the kernel source and kernel to match [13:38] jrib, sorry no link [13:38] pranav: also if you have more then 1 hard drive.. try booting from the other hard drive via the bios. [13:38] indus: Is there a fix or workaround? [13:38] stercor: yeah ,then maybe if a virus can wipe the mbr of HDD , it could ruin things [13:38] !cron | jamie-876 [13:38] thanks, does that two version match? [13:38] jamie-876: cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto - There is also a decent Howto at http://www.tech-geeks.org/contrib/mdrone/cron&crontab-howto.htm [13:38] Dr_Willis: just 1 hdd [13:38] stercor: why what happened to your system? [13:38] ok thanks [13:38] ActionParsnip : where can i find the source for the exact version [13:39] ZOO0828: you either need to upgrade the kernel, or find a deb with the kernel source for the current kernel [13:39] google for it, no luck [13:39] ZOO0828: search synaptic, see what you can dig up [13:39] ello [13:40] hey..how do i chmod a file to allow all users to execute or read or write to it [13:40] <|-Gobi-|> how do i find out certain programs installation dir? [13:40] the version was taken from the synaptic, do i have to try backport respo? [13:40] c ou kon parle en francais [13:40] how to check installed packages using apt-get ? [13:40] !fr | quent [13:40] nouveau sous linux* [13:40] quent: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr [13:40] KoolD: chmod 777 [13:40] I was editing a file fat, dumb, and happy. My computer hit the dust, and when I tried to turn it on again, the power-on light blinked at 1-second intervals. That's all it did. I suspect hardware, my wife says that's what happened when the computer was running Windows. [13:40] KoolD: do you mean and instead of or? [13:40] tanks you [13:41] stercor: its probably the HDD failing? [13:41] Oh, sweet. [13:41] hello everybody! any clues as to why i can get to a local windows network shared folder via samba_client from the terminal but not from nautilis ? error: unable to mount location [13:41] KoolD: that will give evryone LITERALLY, full access to the file [13:41] stercor: can u get to bios screen? [13:41] pidgin doesnt connect to gtalk since yesterday (Broken pipe: SSL error), I cleared the certifcates, did some tweaking, without results, I'm ressorting to empathy by the moment, anyone have experienced similar problems? [13:41] ActionParsnip: no i meant or like if i want to enable all user to just write to a file [13:42] indus: I have another HDD. I'll plug it in and see what happens. [13:42] blackxored: try #pidgin for latest updates on this, yahoo is giving lots trouble lately [13:42] What are some instant messenger programs that can do Yahoo photo sharing and webcam chat? [13:42] indus, all right [13:42] ActionParsnip: the synaptic gives the deb = http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/l/linux/linux-source-2.6.28_2.6.28-15.49_all.deb does it include the generic source plus all the patch? [13:42] indus: BBL [13:42] mnaines: photo sharing unlikely, try kopete for webcam [13:42] stercor: do you get the bios display or is the blinking led the only reaction? [13:42] KoolD: then add put the users that you want access in a group, then give that group ownership to the file [13:42] mnaines: but you wont get voice i think [13:42] stercor: bb [13:43] indus: I want one with voice, too [13:43] i mean from 2.6.28-11 all the way up to 2.6.28.15.49 [13:43] ? [13:43] bnutzinger: Nothing. That's what worries me. No POST. [13:43] mnaines:hmm none as of now i believe [13:43] mnaines: use skype if possible [13:43] hi all! [13:43] is linux actually capable of creating ntfs filesystems? [13:44] ActionParsnip: i dont want to limit the users to a list.isnt there a way to allow any user to write to it? [13:44] stercor: uh oh... dont think its the hdd then... but try nonetheless [13:44] remoteCTR1: no [13:44] stercor: sound more like: CPU / RAM or GFX [13:44] indus, thats bad... thanks! [13:44] KoolD: you can give group ownership to the group 'users' [13:44] bnutzinger: can I fix the bios? [13:44] remoteCTR1: is windows? [13:44] remoteCTR1: sure, install ntfs-tools [13:44] stercor: then its a motherboard problem, head to the nearest service station :) [13:45] stercor: could be a processor failing too btw [13:45] indus: That's my take on the matter. How about a new mobo :-> [13:45] stercor: dont think so... but its not necesearly the bios... could be one of the aformentioned (CPU / RAM /GFX) [13:45] stercor: ya buy a good one :) with a nice proc super fast :D [13:45] ActionParsnip: how do i do that through the console...I know how to do it via gui but i want to change the ownership of multiple files [13:45] KoolD: sudo chown :users [13:45] ActionParsnip:thanks [13:46] ActionParsnip, gawd!:D now i already deleted it, CRAP!! [13:46] stercor: do you remember doing anything in particular befoer this happened? i suspect your wife :) [13:46] KoolD: you can then run: sudo chown g+w [13:46] indus: OK, I'm SURE my wife won't mind... [13:46] indus: Can Skype for Linux do webcams? [13:46] KoolD: to keep others out you can use: sudo chown root [13:46] mnaines: yes [13:46] mnaines: of course, try the latest skype for HQ video [13:46] mnaines: www.skype.com [13:46] indus, no more wrong statements pleas man!:D [13:46] indus: She and the rest of the family won't touch the Linux box. [13:46] KoolD: so its now roots but you are letting the group of users have access to the folder [13:46] remoteCTR1: really? [13:47] stercor: unfortunately no way to tell which component it is, other from swapping out one at a time [13:47] indus: I have the latest...Its not that...Its the quality of my webcam that I'm wondering about [13:47] remoteCTR1: oops wait what was the question again [13:47] ya really, you just made me delete an operable.... ah never mind [13:47] indus: The webcam is a Logitech QuickCam Fusion [13:47] is there a way that I can see how many people are on freenode right now? [13:47] mnaines: aah ok it should work fine,best way is to install and check [13:47] mnaines: logitech works fine in general [13:47] indus: I use a Gillette Fusion Power razor. [13:48] stercor: lol? [13:48] thanks [13:48] indus: I heard Logitech is bad because it brings a security risk [13:48] !ntfs [13:48] To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [13:48] remoteCTR1: indus didn't make you do anything. you asked a broad question and he answered it. The OS does not create the File system. YOU went and jumped the gun unfortunately [13:48] Now, now. [13:49] mnaines: its not true at all [13:49] IdleOne, and in how far is that any of your business?? [13:49] indus: That's cool...I love Logitech stuff because of the reliability [13:49] mnaines: ya they last a million years at least the webcams do [13:49] remoteCTR1: you put something in an open forum like an irc channel and it became all our business :) [13:50] Are there any recommended links for ubuntu begginers? [13:50] IdleOne: heh its correct remoteCTR1 [13:50] remoteCTR1: cool it, we all friends here [13:50] i probably read the question wrong [13:50] indus: I have the Logitech Cordless Desktop Laser.

[14:12] gotiiy, am i ok now? [14:12] Paradoxx: Empathy uses Gconf. [14:12] Paradoxx: Try the gconf-editor tool. [14:12] lardon: as long as you use the same subnet mask for all devices on your network you should be fine. [14:13] twoslice: You don't really have to if you use the right routing protocol [14:13] pranav: for grub 2 you edit /etc/default/grub.d/* and /etc/default/grub - you DONT edit grub.cfg [14:14] twoslice: RIPv1 requires the same subnet mask on all network devices, but RIPv2, EIGRP, and OSPF don't [14:14] Impy^: your linux partition is probably not mounted [14:14] Impy^: wait 1 sec [14:14] Dr_Willis: yes, wait [14:14] mnaines: he is setting up two devices static routing is more than sufficient [14:14] * Dr_Willis wonders why he has to wait.... [14:14] erUSUL, thanx a lot i'll check [14:14] Any one know anything about the sound problems? [14:15] In the DownThemAll plugin for Firefox, where can I set the target download directory? [14:15] twoslice: You can configure static routes with those, too...The routing protocol does not affect the routes themselves, it only tells the routers how to talk to each other [14:15] bostik_: no problem. another aproach is to use partx but dunno the details either [14:15] pozic: in the prefs [14:15] gotiiy, same...:/ [14:15] indus i think i've relized what i could be. I'm using a hardy heron live cd and the linux partition is ext 3 and that's not supported in hardy? [14:15] Impy^: in grub prompt, type root (hd0,3) [14:15] mnaines: yes that requires setting up routing he is just trying to get it to work, it just complicates things [14:16] Impy^: ext3 or ext4? [14:16] Impy^: you mean ext4 ? [14:16] bootstrap, maybe you need to let us know what's the problem exactly [14:16] mnaines: if he wants to set up a routing protocol after he gets it to work then fine [14:16] indus yeah i meant ext 4 the latest one? [14:16] twoslice: I understand that...I was just correcting you when you said that he needs the same subnet mask for all network devices [14:16] Impy^: ok then yes that could be the issue, is this ext4? [14:17] Impy^: dmesg will give errors when bootinh [14:17] mnaines: in a static routing environment you do need the same netmask [14:17] Impy^: so use new live cd then [14:17] Impy^: i have to go now , thank you [14:17] gotiiy? [14:17] twoslice: Yes, that's understandable [14:18] indus what's dmesg? and when i loaded this live run i got an error, i'llreboot now and try dig out latest livecd :) [14:18] indus thanks for help matey take care :) [14:18] grotiiy* [14:18] Impy^: it will say unrecognised or unsupported file system ext4 [14:18] mnaines I try to simplify as much as possible and strip down all uneccessary services when troubleshooting [14:18] nvm [14:18] bye [14:18] lardon where you at with things? === g0thca is now known as g0tcha [14:19] ?

[14:21] lardon: which device is connected to the internet? [14:21] why can't i listen to mp3 at the same time watch youtube video ? why youtube video no audio ? [14:21] again... [14:21] lardon: can you connect to internet from your laptop while it is connected to ps3? [14:21] no [14:21] IdleOne: In my Firefox preferences I set it to always ask where I want to save something. It appears it is using my desktop directory however. The desktop directory is the default when it is set to not to ask. [14:21] but if i just disconnect the cable i have internet!

[14:25] lardon: $ sudo route add default gw 192.168.1.254 [14:25] lardon: why your eth0 isn't listed at route output? [14:25] I ask a perfectly well defined question and you give me back some generic answer, which everyone with even the slightest experience of Firefox already knows. [14:25] i don't know..:/ [14:26] grotiiy, with the command i just added a line same as the last one [14:26] I will just use my own analysis which is probably correct. [14:26] anyone with wireless chipset ath5k? [14:27] lardon: how do you get ip for eth0? [14:27] erika2009: yep [14:27] lardon: $ ifconfig eth0 | grep inet [14:27] grotiiy, i have configured the /etc/network/interfaces [14:27] pozic can you walk me through to get it working? im novice [14:27] pozic, I'm assuming you have Edit->Preferences->Main->Downloads=> Always ask where to save files set [14:27] pozic, are you? [14:28] sudo apt-get install wicd did that... [14:28] nothing worked... [14:28] blackxored: If those are Firefox preferences, then yes. [14:28] erika2009: modprobe ath5k should work. [14:28] grotiiy, "inet6 addr: fe80::21e:ecff:fe2a:4744/64 Scope:Link" [14:28] pozic, and that you have no other download managers active? [14:28] I have /home mounted on a seperate partition, if I were to re-install now, I could use my existing /home partition and keep all of my settings, right? [14:28] erika2009: if it doesn't it will give an error message or at least it will print something on dmesg [14:28] pozic: I apologize for my very rude comment to you. [14:28] why can't i listen to mp3 at the same time watch youtube video ? why youtube video no audio ? [14:28] pozic, and you're going to tell me which fx version do you have [14:29] lardon: so eth0 does not have any ipv4 address. [14:29] dont see any wireless networks? :( [14:29] lardon: does ps3 have [14:29] how ready is Karmic for primetime desktop usage? [14:29] blackxored: Mozilla Firefox 3.0.13, Copyright (c) 1998 - 2009 mozilla.org [14:29] lardon: does ps3 have ip? [14:29] dp_: wait a few more weeks [14:29] lardon: why don't you simply use network manager? [14:29] dp_: it still in alpha, it's not out for two months [14:29] dp_: it isn't #ubuntu+1 for more info [14:29] IdleOne: I don't mind. Random people from the Internet do that. It's human nature. [14:29] grotiiy, i don't know...:P [14:29] Dr_Willis: ok. thanks [14:29] pozic: yes but I should of known better. [14:29] lardon: set a profile for wired connection and one for wireless [14:30] pozic, and don't you have any other download helpers? like downthemall or flashgot??? [14:30] blackxored: no [14:30] blackxored: downthemall is downloading and working. [14:30] pozic nothing happend still no wireless networks [14:30] blackxored: it is just a configuration issue. [14:30] pozic, well I'm running that same version and I'm unable to reproduce that behaviour [14:30] pozic, probably [14:30] erika2009: what was the output of the command and what does executing the command dmesg say? === UBot-tn is now known as MaWaLe [14:31] dmesg says nothing [14:31] blackxored: ok, so it does ask you where you want to save it? [14:31] grotiiy, how can i undo all changes i did?xd [14:31] should i enable the drivers and restart? [14:31] pozic, yes It does [14:31] erika2009: I think it is quite impossible that modprobe foo && dmesg doesn't show anything when the driver wasn't already loaded. [14:32] erika2009: Does dmesg | grep ath5k show anything? [14:32] lardon: do you have a backup file for /etc/network/interfaces? [14:32] yes [14:32] blackxored: ok, that's really weird then. [14:32] hi all [14:32] grotiiy, before i had only 2 lines for the loopback... [14:32] pozic, wait a second, I may have spot something [14:33] erika2009: and you must be sure of course that there are wireless networks in the area to begin with. [14:33] lardon: ok, put it back [14:33] pozic it is home wireless network [14:33] erika2009: I use some Gnome tool called Network manager or something like that. Just put it to adhoc and it should connect. [14:33] i have the ar2425 chip good to know :) [14:33] erika2009: I have the same chip.\ [14:34] Can any1 help me with printerserver settings? [14:34] can you please walk me through it [14:34] erika2009: so, you just make sure the driver doesn't display errors in dmesg and try that Gnome application. [14:34] erika2009: It has been some time for me, but starting synaptic and searching for something called network manager should do it. [14:35] grotiiy, now i just do the same setting at networkmanager? [14:35] another question? One my windows systems I use trucrypt full drive encryption. Is there a program for ubuntu that can do full drive encryption after a ubuntu install? [14:35] ok and enable the driver? [14:35] Hi guys how do I connect my TV to my desktop >? I have the Nvdia drivers installed for ubuntu and all the wires connected. [14:35] erika2009: if the driver is loaded, it is enabled. [14:35] i disabled it because forms said to disable it [14:35] erika2009: forms? [14:35] erika2009: who/what is forms? === Floops[w]1 is now known as Floops[w] [14:36] lardon: then open network manager, on the wired tab add a new profile. from ipv4 settings, set manual method and add 192.168.2.3 as ip address, 255.255.0.0 as netmask and 0.0.0.0 as gateway. set 208.67.222.222 as your dns server. [14:36] lardon: maybe 255.255.255.0 also can work, but im not sure. [14:36] blackxored: found it already? [14:36] pozic, not yet [14:37] pozic, I'm disabling addons now [14:37] http://pastebin.com/d30731860 it's been at least a couple of hours. how long does it usually take to generate a 1024 bit RSA key? [14:37] erika2009: I am also not sure of the state of Ubuntu wireless in general. I had to install from source to get ath5k working for example. [14:37] lardon: are you using jaunty [14:37] dayo: it probably doesn't have enough entropy. [14:37] grotiiy, erm...how do i check this? [14:37] pozic: what does that mean? entropy? [14:38] dayo: you learn that when you study CS. [14:38] can someone help me to get truecrypt running on ubuntu [14:38] lardon: right click on network manager and open about. which version are you using [14:38] dayo: anyway, basically it means the amount of randomness available. [14:38] dayo: that's the layman explanation. There is a more formal definition for you to read at wikipedia. [14:39] i'mgood i was just blind [14:39] 0.1.0.100 [14:39] 0.7.0.100* [14:39] dayo: so, on Linux and other operating systems there is an entropy pool. [14:39] dayo: the pool needs to be filled to continue on cryptographic computations. [14:39] pozic can you walk me through it? from source?? I appreciate it if you can help me [14:39] dayo, esentially do some stuff with your machine while it's working [14:39] dayo: so, you probably have some server where you see this issue. [14:39] lardon: ok its good. did you set a wired profile from network manager? [14:39] oh i'm fine now...tyvm! [14:39] i installed network-manager [14:40] blackxored: pozic: it says the amount of sys activity will speed it up. what kind of activity? [14:40] dayo: so, if you open an ssh session and just press some random commands, it will work. [14:40] i have internet from both laptop and ps3 :) [14:40] hi all, can anyone help me with printserver connection? O:-) [14:40] lardon: can you access internet from ps3? [14:40] dayo, any activatity IO access [14:40] blackxored: pozic: i see. ok, i'll try that [14:40] dayo: moving the mouse, clicking, network activity, disk seeks, lots of stuff. [14:40] dayo, process firing closing [14:40] lardon: ok then :) [14:40] thnx again! [14:40] dayo, I could tell you a hack but that will compromise it's security, so :D [14:40] pozic if you have a website thats fine :) [14:40] dayo: do you understand why there is an entropy pool? [14:41] erika2009: I don't, but the forums explain it too, I think. [14:41] madwiki is down... [14:41] pozic: i'm not sure i understand the entropy thing. [14:41] madwifi is down* [14:41] erika2009: and I am not up to date. You should just try for yourself or ask on the forums. If you are novice, searching and asking the forums is the best thing to do. I am quite busy. [14:42] pozic thanks [14:42] pozic, it's definetely some addon of yours [14:42] dayo: suppose there is no entropy. Consider what would happen? [14:42] pozic, please check for me again, do you have set always ask [14:42] blackxored: yes, I have. [14:42] pozic: i don't really know :-/ [14:42] blackxored: in the Firefox preferences, not the downthemall preferences. [14:43] yes I your firefox preferences [14:43] dayo: it would generate only a small set of keys. [14:43] dayo: it would be easily cracked by an attacker with basic CS knowledge. [14:43] pozic, when you click on a download link a dialog is opened, right? what setting do you have there? [14:43] pozic: it creates the keys from the randomness? [14:44] dayo: yes, cryptography assumed random oracles. [14:44] dayo: assumes* [14:44] pozic, seems to me, like you have set dTa one Click! or something similar [14:44] dayo: they are theoretical devices implemented by hacks on Linux and other operating systems. [14:44] pozic: it's getting slightly clearer now. i remember reading Singh's "The Code" book a few years ago. [14:44] blackxored: might be. Where can I disable dTa one click? [14:44] why can't i listen to mp3 at the same time watch youtube video ? why youtube video no audio ? [14:44] why can't i listen to mp3 at the same time watch youtube video ? why youtube video no audio ? [14:45] how do I disable screen blanking when idle (no x installed, just command line) [14:45] pozic: "The Code Book"* [14:45] OneMillionDollar: because you have no mixer configured and Linux sound sucks. [14:45] dayo: fiction? [14:45] pozic: no, it's a history of cryptology [14:45] OneMillionDollar: make sure pulseaudio is running [14:45] pozic, it's not disabling it, just try a link, and from the options set either DownThemAll or Save file, both ask for location, then tell me [14:45] linux + sound, unfortunately doesn't go well :( [14:46] pozic: http://www.simonsingh.net/The_Code_Book.html [14:46] how to make sure pulseuadio is ruuning [14:46] It's the mixers that suck. Get hardware mixing and it works. [14:46] pulseaudio/esd/artsd - it's all the same crap. [14:46] pozic: what about dmix? [14:46] maco: don't know, didn't try that one in years. [14:46] pozic, if the window with options after that link isn't not presented, then you might find your answers in tha applications tab in preferences, of firefox [14:46] pozic: thats built into alsa [14:47] * maco avoids the rest of the audio flaming [14:47] maco: oh, then maybe it already works on my machine. [14:47] pozic: you'd have to enable it [14:47] maco: ok, then probably it doesn't work if it's not on by defaul.t [14:47] default* [14:47] pozic, you have probably checked "Do this for this file type from now on" or something like that [14:47] blackxored: that sounds logical. [14:47] pozic: you can turn it on..and then it does work... [14:48] maco: why is it disabled then by default? [14:48] pozic, ok then give it a try [14:48] maco how to make sure it is runnig ? [14:48] blackxored: give what a try? [14:48] blackxored: I still need to disable this setting somehow. [14:48] pozic, you were not following [14:49] pozic, I said when you enter the link I dialog should be presented, it is? [14:49] blackxored: ah, ok. [14:49] pozic: because upstream pulseaudio devs like for pulseaudio to have total control of the sound device and dmix would mean it shares [14:49] pozic, if it's not, then you have to go to the applications tab in your firefox, and tweak there since you probably setted a default action for a file type [14:49] pozic: and ticking off upstreams is a bad idea [14:49] maco: ok, makes sense. I will enable dmix on my laptop. [14:49] pozic, or several ;) [14:50] OneMillionDollar: ps -ef | grep pulse === sale_ is now known as sale [14:50] Hi, I have a problem installing the nVidia 185 drivers, the error log says version mismatch it appears the kernel is using the 180 module but I can't seem to remove it.

I don't know where it gets this default directory from. [14:51] thank you [14:52] pozic, you're probably clicking the downthemall all [14:52] pozic, s/all/one [14:52] blackxored: no, I am presented with lots of options. I click the right thing. [14:52] blackxored: ok, I think I understand the issue. [14:53] pozic, is that option dtaOneClick! with a select box to the right [14:53] pozic, great then [14:53] pozic, it was starting to get tricky without visual feedback ;) nevermind [14:53] blackxored: so, where can I set the target directory for dtaOneClick!? [14:54] pozic, first select DownThenAll! option, dtaOneClick gets common directories you've selected before, that's what it display [14:54] pozic, select DownThemAll, then Save Files in: browse dir there and start download [14:54] Hi there.

[15:06] djveer: putting the livecd on usb with usbcreator is how most people install it since netbooks lack cd drives [15:06] djveer: yes it does [15:07] djveer: er hrm wait. i know the kubuntu netbook edition does. i assume the ubuntu netbook remix does too [15:07] maco: i'm on a windows PC here normally, any idea how I can image the usb drive I have?

[16:20] tj83_: the ting is I raised the fsb just a little bit. memtest shows the values one would expect after that.

I'm imagining that the best way to have them constnatly moun [16:20] tj83_: and I don't know wheater the linux scaling feature cannot handle my changes and resets them or shows wrong data or whatever [16:21] Newbee, more than likely just reporting old data, as the data is puled from the cpu itslef.... see sudo lshw for more info [16:22] i'm intending to just create the entries in /etc/fstab and called them storage and storagehash under the /media directory, but will gnome still recognise and play nice if it is manually mounted rather than being mounted through gnome>?

[16:43] how can i remove a program from my applications->system menu.......i already uninstalled it [16:43] boss there is nobody will help me in this case in our portal [16:43] thanks guys i love all [16:43] pintook: not right now. on phone [16:43] ok [16:43] later [16:43] tony99, you can hide it via System -> Preferences -> Main menu [16:43] vijay_: I dont understand you [16:44] when i add a domain name into Ubuntu 9.04 /etc/hosts file - it does not work. I added it like this [16:44] 192.168.1.1 mydomain.com [16:44] when i nslookup it, it still shows another ip address for mydomain.com [16:44] bye legend [16:44] bhaka: that's because nslookup/dig/host skip /etc/hosts. [16:44] Anyone knows.... I shutted down some services... I have no keyboard or mouse... please [16:44] bhaka: nslookup only uses dns, it doesn't use /etc/hosts [16:45] vijay_: maybe you should try your local ubuntu channel for help, what county are you from? [16:45] pintook: bye [16:45] bhaka: you can try "getent hosts mydomain.com" [16:45] bhaka: These tools were created for testing DNS; and so they only use DNS. Use the getent command stew gave you. [16:45] india [16:45] will firefox show me the contents of mydomain.com ? [16:45] konza: you can simply create the file from scratch [16:45] is there any way to stop cryptsetup from prompting me for a encryption password at boot? There are people who use this system that dont know the password and I want the encrypted partition to be transparent to them [16:45] (Also, nslookup will be gone soon, I think - host or dig are better.) [16:46] stealth-: /etc/crypttab maybe [16:46] grawity: im already using host [16:46] konza: do you really need SASL, by the way? [16:46] konza: what are your goals for postfix? [16:46] vijay_: you could try asking in #ubuntu-in if thats easier for you [16:46] grawity: ill look into that, thanks [16:46] #ubuntu-in [16:47] thank u === bnutzinger is now known as bnutzinger_afk [16:47] test [16:48] Spike1506, is it normal glxgears gives me from 500FPS to 800FPS ? [16:48] eni_, glxgears is not a benchmark tool, so to be honest i have no idea [16:48] sipior, actually i want to create a site similar to gmail... so i need to configure smtp server [16:49] konza: that would be the first step, yes :-) [16:51] OK, I just ran glxgears out of curiosity, and found out my computer makes sort of a squealing noise for a second every time I run it... How/What/Why could this possibly happen?? [16:51] konza: might be best to get it working, sans SASL, and setting that up later if you find you need/want it. === digitalfa is now known as digitalfallacy [16:52] how can i fully recursively download the .deb files for a package and all its dependencies - i need to ensure i have everything required to install on an offline machine [16:52] sipior, actually i dont know anything about configuring smtp server... this is the first time i am doing this...so i am doing whatever written in the link u gave [16:53] konza: right, that's why it's best to keep things simple for a bit. [16:54] konza: try the "Postfix Baisc Setup Howto" which you can find on the documentation page you mentioned. [16:54] Basic, obviously [16:55] sipior, I did till restarting postfix... should i stop and check weather its working or not? [16:55] konza: yes [16:56] konza, postfix or exim are pretty easy to configure, with sendmail I won't take my chances [16:56] I am trying to change the file permission on an ntfs usb memory stick. [16:56] It is set to root. When I try to change it it won't let me? [16:56] secwarrior, I don't think it will preserve anything more than 755 mode [16:56] tisepti: have you tried going to http://packages.ubuntu.com and searching for your file? I'm pretty sure they list all the dependencies [16:56] sipior, srry! how to check it. [16:56] blackxored, form where did u learn to configure this? [16:57] where can I check which services are loaded on boot up? [16:57] konza, in the ubuntu contributed doc are intros for both [16:58] egomosis: yes i was looking at that - id just like a way to fully grab all the packages automatically if I could - i want all the dependencies down to libc and it seems like there should be a better way then tracing it all out myself [16:58] i am about to copy about 100gb data from one laptop to another. the first username is userone, and the second usertwo. all files were created by userone. is there an 'easy' way to make sure all the files will have read and write access by usertwo on the second laptop? [16:59] userone, use a group [16:59] egomosis: though looks like libc itself has dependencies [16:59] tisepti: do you have the software installed on a computer somewhere? aptoncd might be something that could help you out [16:59] userone, use chgrp to set the group of all the files to a group that both users are a member of [16:59] and chmod to make sure the group permissions are up to scratch [16:59] sipior, srry! how to check it.? [17:00] th0r: i looked at that - aptoncd does not seem to list all of the packages === flashkidd_ is now known as flashkidd [17:00] Steve^: ok, and will these files be secure to only this group (and root, of course)? [17:00] th0r, aptoncd will only list cached pkgs [17:00] ZOMFG it's AMAZING how Ubuntu sets up my printer and wirelessly shares it on the WLAN so automagicallyeasily!!!!! [17:00] userone, yup [17:01] userone, you can use id to check what groups the user belongs to [17:01] tisepti: right. But if you had the software installed on one machine, you would know that all the dependencies are available. Create an aptoncd from that machine, and then install the software on the machine that is not online [17:01] blackxored, could u please help me? [17:01] konza, sure [17:01] userone, unix permissions are amazingly simple. You restrict permissions by username, group and everything else [17:01] konus, but i wasn't following that long, so you may have to tell me what exactly you need to accomplish with smtp [17:02] Steve^: As long as you don't use POSIX ACLs. [17:02] blackxored, pls take this link https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Postfix [17:02] Steve^, or acls if you like to ;) [17:02] Umm, ok [17:02] not something I'm aware of [17:02] blackxored, i did till restartin the postfix daemon... now how should i check weather its working or not? [17:02] hi there [17:02] th0r: aptoncd is not listing the particular package i am interested in ensuring gets on another machine - that package is not from the standard ubuntu repositories if that matters [17:03] Steve^, acls extend basic permissions to let more users or groups to have access to a set of files or dirs [17:03] How do I reduce and/or turn off hardware acceleration? [17:03] Steve^: thanks, i just wanted to be sure i wasnt making things unnecessarily difficult! btw, do you know of a way of keeping the files synced between the two laptops? [17:03] tisepti, just sudo aptitude download [17:03] maybe this is not the place to ask but how come firefox 3.5 does not remember my passwords? [17:03] blackxored, is this available by default? [17:03] konza, you could check the logs but a simple netstat -tan | grep 25 will do it [17:04] Steve^, you need to install the acl package [17:04] userone, I use Dropbox to store important files, relying on an external service and is severly space limited. If you find a good sync tool, let me know [17:04] Steve^, and read the doc of course, although is quite easy to setup === MUWAHAHAHAHA is now known as Anodyne [17:05] konza, if it shows anything then it's running, of course a ps ax | grep postfix will do it too === canthus14 is now known as canthus13 [17:05] marcPV, make sure that the site allows password saving [17:05] userone, rsync is a good start === hexXfire is now known as digitalfallacy [17:05] blackxored: that gave me the - but not pkg's dependencies [17:05] blackxored, the output is here http://paste.ubuntu.com/267375/ [17:05] How do I clean up the trash of a usb device *without* cleaning up the trash of the machine? [17:05] konus, and finally you could do a mail -S test [17:06] nobody is there in india forum [17:06] tisepti, what I've done and may work for you is to set apt-cacher-ng [17:06] Pupeno, manually edit the hidden trash folders [17:06] konza, then you got it [17:06] sup people [17:06] blackxored, 1 sec [17:07] konza, just do mail -S test , fill the message ending with a "." alone, and then just mail [17:07] Steve^: I was thinking of writing a little python program to match file names and dates. If the file names matched, it would overwrite with the latest date modified. that was the theory, never got round to writing the program! anyone else any ideas? [17:07] konza, should list your message there [17:07] tisepti: a quick and hacky way would be to just clean your cache, then apt-get install the package, then backup your cache. It should have all the files you want [17:07] Steve^: just looking up rsync...thanks [17:07] konza, although I've found exim easier to setup [17:07] Pupeno, look in the root directory of your usb, there will be a 'hidden' .trash folder [17:07] Pupeno: got to the device press crtl + H ... shift + supr the trash folder [17:07] danbhfive, +1 for that one [17:07] userone, rsync will do that bit for you. I'm not aware of a full solution that will wrap rsync for you though (maybe rdiff-backup) [17:07] blackxored, i have maild it to my gmail id [17:08] blackxored: im not sure what you mean - is that an other option i can use for aptitude? [17:08] tisepti, sudo aptitude clean && sudo aptitude install && aptoncd [17:08] blackxored, is that enough [17:08] konza, sorry? [17:08] tisepti, apt-cacher-ng is an apt-proxy, you may or not need it [17:08] mail -s "hello" myemail@gmail.com [17:09] blackxored, mail -s "hello" myemail@gmail.com [17:09] konza, no, your local user in your machine [17:09] blackxored, is that enough? [17:09] konza, first try with your local user [17:09] konza, I mean your login [17:09] konza, then push to the outside [17:09] anyone here with experience in trac/drproject? [17:09] blackxored, can u pls tell the command [17:10] blackxored, mail -s "hello" username [17:10] konza, mail -S test `whoami` [17:10] hi room! I'm trying to use Ubuntu 9.04 liveCD to fix parents' computer. I'm trying to view the windows system log files (file type *.log). Gedit won't open the files and gives the error code "has not been able to detect character encoding. please make sure you're not trying to open binary file" [17:10] konza, s/-S/-s [17:11] how do I make background images for the Gnome Panels stretch the height of the panel? currently I have to have the panel's vertical size at 23 for me to not see the background image tiled on the panel [17:12] blackxored, i did it. after that i typed mail command... it showed ' no mail for shyam' [17:12] treble54, you probably need to edit your background image to be the height you wait [17:12] *want [17:12] konza, did you set maildir or mbox format??? [17:12] Steve^: rsync looks like it may do the job for me. Thanks for the tip, and for the advice on groups! [17:12] logfils, have you tried opening it with vi? [17:13] grouse... what is vi? [17:13] userone, I must warn you, I'm not sure what happens with similarly named groups on different systems. You might need to look at the groupIds or something [17:13] blackxored, maildir [17:13] logfils, command line text editor [17:13] if you are just viewing the file, it's more than enough [17:13] blackxored, am not sure ... wait [17:13] userone, likely the user you log in with when using rsync will determine the owner of the files on the remote system, so everything will be fine anyway [17:13] logfils: what does the program "file" say about the file(s)? [17:14] konza, k [17:14] grouse... is vi native to the liveCD? [17:14] Steve^: thats one solution I thought of, just wondering tho [17:14] This isn't Ubuntu specific but maybe some1 can help.. is it possible to make a multi Linux live dvd? Of several live cds? [17:14] grouse: don't make people use vi as their first commandline editor... recommend nano or something, please [17:14] konza, if you set maildir the mail command won't work out of box, you have to do some tweaking [17:14] blackxored, i think its maildir... i typed this command sudo postconf -e 'home_mailbox = Maildir/' [17:14] Steve^: i will check that out. at least groups seem to be a simple solution, for now [17:14] grouse: not that vi is bad... but it's not exactly first-time-user friendly [17:14] Ugh, ~/Maildir/ :| [17:14] konza, I don't remember right now how to make mailx to use that format [17:15] I doubt mailx supports the maildir format. [17:15] konza, I remeber you have to set MAILDIR=$HOME/Maildir [17:15] kahen, good point, I can't remember what the ubuntu base install has with it >_< [17:15] userone, nah, just use rsync, I'm sure it will sort it for you [17:15] grouse / kahen... i'm just looking for something to view the windows log files. gedit is not working. I'm stuck in the liveCD enviro. windows enviro is not usable [17:15] konza, but probably you have to do something else, I personally use mutt for cmd-line mail [17:15] How do I disable wifi completly in Ubuntu? [17:15] blackxored: 1) mailx does not support Maildir storage, AFAIK [17:16] blackxored, now what should i do? [17:16] blackxored: 2) It's probably MAIL, not MAILDIR [17:16] grawity, that answers everything ;) thanks [17:16] konza, use mutt === bruno_ is now known as bruno [17:16] logfils, like kahen says, type in the command: file [17:16] < http://pastebin.com/m54c31b3e > . How to execute it ? ! [17:16] konza, or evolution if you like it [17:16] !info nano | grouse kahen that is standard [17:16] grouse: nano (source: nano): free curses-based text editor, inspired by Pico. In component main, is standard. Version 2.0.9-2 (jaunty), package size 292 kB, installed size 1728 kB [17:16] blackxored, how? [17:17] konza, with evolution or mutt??? [17:17] nevermind figured it out ;) [17:17] guntbert, thanks, but I know what nano is, I was just using the first text editor that came to mind [17:17] grouse... back in a sec w the result of file [17:17] blackxored, i am doiing this for the first time.... you have to tell me excatly what i should do with mutt.. otherwise i wont understand anything [17:18] konza, then set evolution [17:18] grouse: sorry, it was a lazy way to say: this one is in the standard installation :-) [17:18] blackxored, i think i have installed mutt [17:18] lol [17:19] < http://pastebin.com/m54c31b3e > . How to execute it ? ! [17:19] konza, fire up evolution, go to edit->preferences->mail accounts [17:19] how can I format a usb stick with ntfs with ubuntu? [17:19] grouse.. the .Evt files come back as AppEvent.Evt: data log files come back as system.LOG: MS Windows registry file, NT/2000 or above [17:20] blackxored, what server type should i select while setting evolution [17:20] konza, go add a new account @ in receiving mail set to maildir format mail dirs and you're done [17:20] blackxored: i am creating the test cd now - however i dont believe it will work as there is a warning in console that "there are some packages installed that are not avaiable in cache" [17:20] konza, ^^^ [17:20] ok u guys have been a big help with my learning command line, now i need some help with configuring squid [17:20] tisepti, that's the issue with aptoncd, if it's not cached, then it won't find it, that's the way it works against /var/cache/apt/archives AFAIK [17:20] blackxored, srry? [17:21] logfils, you can try opening it with the command line editor: nano [17:21] guitbass, if you have just learned cmd-line, I won't take my chances with squid, is quite tricky to setup properly [17:21] secwarrior: have you tried http://www.google.com/search?q=linux+format+ntfs ? [17:21] konza, see above = ^^^^ [17:21] secwarrior: GIYF and all that... [17:21] I am doing that [17:22] I tried gparted but ended up with a stick that only works in windows [17:22] konza, nevermind is "Maildir-like-format mail directories" and set it to /home//Maildir [17:22] blackxored, i am opening evolution for the first time... so its asking which server type i should choose.. [17:22] blackxored: is there some way to force a full dependency tree to be downloaded to cache then? [17:22] konza, see above again [17:22] quick question; How do I boot from an ubuntu cd to CLI? [17:22] back again nearly there - i have now installed 8.04 lts and all is fine. But my dual monitor is not working - basically I can get both the laptop and the monitor to work but they display the same thing not not different things. i had this working before - anyone any ideas - it cant be that complicated. When I go into system preferences and screen resolution - the clone screens is off, I think i need to add something to my xorg fil [17:22] secwarrior: what doesnt work ? [17:22] tisepti, probably, not that I'm aware of [17:23] it by standard boots to X which I really can't use with this small ram netbook [17:23] Can I use only Portuguese and Russian keyboard layouts, and do not use USA? [17:23] grouse... both the .Evt and .Log files open in nano, but they're >1000 pages of garbage characters. Does that indicate that the files are binary? [17:23] ilya_: yes [17:23] even better is there a gui that i could play around with ? thanks [17:23] ilya_, just add the ones you like and delete the USA layout [17:23] logfils: Most .log files are plaintext usually. _Except_ for Windows Registry logs - they are kinda like filesystem journals, in binary. === n00bjabi is now known as zvonkorp [17:23] thanks [17:23] How do I boot from an ubuntu cd to CLI? [17:24] actually it is mounting now. just took a while. [17:24] grawity.... is there anything in the Ubuntu 9.04 LiveCD environment to get the files human readable? I'm trying to diagnose what the hell is wrong with XP on this machine [17:24] logfils: Probably not. [17:24] logfils, I think i remember a windows log viewer for linux, which read exactly what eventvwr shows you, so try googling it [17:25] logfils, you could also try a windows live cd such as erd commander or the like [17:25] blackxored... dumb question. if I find that & download that, will I be able to run it while running the LiveCD ubnutu as the operating system? [17:25] its asking something for server configuration [17:25] how do i get my bottom panel back in gnome after i've deleted it? i can make a new panel, but it doesn't show my running applications [17:26] logfils, no, it's a windows on its own, just that it's live, and has diagnostic and repair tools [17:26] konza, server type: maildir-format mail directories [17:26] billybigrigger: you need to right click your new panel and add the correct panel element [17:26] logfils: evtviewer is a Perl utility that converts EVT log files into actual log files. beware, though - its memory requirements grow with the size of EVT files. [17:26] blackxored... for lack of a better description, where would this downloaded windows log viewer for linux program "go" in order to execute? [17:26] How do I boot from an ubuntu LIVE cd to CLI? [17:26] konza, path: /home maildir [17:26] since I'm running from the LiveCD right now [17:26] G_A_C, i've looked through, do you know the name by chance? [17:26] logfils, can't remember it's name, it's the package name (the executable I mean) [17:26] I was just trying to find it, maybe window list? [17:26] G_A_C, i can get the window switcher back, the rest aren't what i'm looking for [17:27] anyone knows a good FTP client which, unlike gftp, can save the server/user/password of multiple accounts? [17:27] logfils, you need to install that, it won't come by default [17:27] billybigrigger: window list [17:27] preferably for gnome [17:27] How does one create a personal wiki page on wiki.ubuntu.com? [17:27] my laptop spec is http://pastebin.com/m2daec947 [17:27] konza, got it? [17:27] logfils: I think FileZilla works on Ubuntu. [17:27] blackxored... and I can install it while I'm running the LiveCD on this computer? Doing so won't mess with the Windows/NTFS hard drive [17:27] ? [17:27] logfils: http://sourceforge.net/projects/evtviewer/ [17:27] grawity, +1 [17:27] logfils, the log viewer? don't it will install on your live system [17:27] logfils: grawity just booped up with :) [17:28] blackxored, i finished that.... after that , in a window named sending mail, its asking server configuration [17:28] m [17:28] konza, server type: smtp, server: [17:28] !panels | billybigrigger [17:28] billybigrigger: To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [17:28] i have a speedstream 5200 connected on my pc by an usb port, this modem is on router mode. I tried found a solution for up it on ubuntu 9.04 but all problems that I had found reports a solution to bridge mode on this model of modem, someone knows how can i up this modem? [17:29] ahh nice [17:29] thanks bassliner [17:29] err bastidrazor [17:29] Uqbar: error 500 [17:29] blackxored, server1.example.com is thin enough? [17:29] heh [17:30] loufoque: what? [17:30] konza, no, your machine there, you'll be using postfix as your MTA, remember? [17:30] Uqbar: http://sourceforge.net/projects/evtviewer/ gives error 500 [17:30] billybigrigger: good luck.. after you have rest the panels. you can right click them and see what they are if in the future you don't want to fully reset again. [17:30] loufoque, the link is ok === _RaNdY is now known as RaNdY [17:30] blackxor / kahen / grouse / grawity... I think I'm going to throw in the towel on this one. I'll just wipe the machine & reinstall XP for them. I'll try to convince them to go w/ Ubuntu, but that's an uphill battle. Thanks, all for the help on this. [17:31] konza, so there you have to put either "localhost" or your hostname (the output of the hostname command) [17:31] Error 500 [17:31] This page is unavailable at the moment. Please try again shortly. Sorry for the inconvenience. [17:31] loufoque, just checked the link is ok, try again [17:31] loufoque: well it's not related to evtviewer - it seems like sourceforge is experiencing problems. here's a direct link: http://garr.dl.sourceforge.net/project/evtviewer/evtviewer/evtViewer-0.4/evtViewer-0.4.tgz [17:31] back again nearly there - i have now installed 8.04 lts and all is fine. But my dual monitor is not working - basically I can get both the laptop and the monitor to work but they display the same thing not not different things. i had this working before - anyone any ideas - it cant be that complicated. When I go into system preferences and screen resolution - the clone screens is off, I think i need to add something to my xorg fil [17:31] logfils, sorry about not being help, ubuntu and windows don't really mix too well [17:32] blackxored, shoud i enable the check box server require authentication [17:32] konza, yes, and then check for supported types, mine's CRAM_MD5 [17:33] how do i add vnc to ubuntus startup programs (text mode) [17:33] hi every one [17:33] hello guys [17:33] blackxored, mine is PLAIN & LOGIN [17:34] blackxored, whichone should i select? [17:34] PLAIN. [17:34] konza, ok that will work, test for supported types [17:34] grawity, PLAIN is ok for localhost only [17:34] blackxored: If you use TLS (which you should _always_ use), it's ok for everything. [17:35] blackxored, actually my aim is to create a website similar to gmail... so is that enough?

[18:05] No! Ubuntu 9.04 has a partitioner that lets you dual boot with Windows with SLIDING BAR. It slides.

[18:05] Ret_, is not the distro, it's the installer or the software, so focus your question ;) [18:06] blackxored: in sympatic manager ? i can search for it then [18:06] Ret_: you can use gparted partition tool before installation. [18:06] jess12345, in a terminal just execute that [18:06] Blackxored: Yes, it is the distro. Ubuntu is the only distro I've come across with this option.

[18:48] Can anyone tell me why rhythmbox can't access the music on LAN HD but porgrams like mplayer, totem, nautilus can? [18:48] konza, yes you have probably not read my message [18:48] Linux teabag 2.6.28-15-generic #49-Ubuntu SMP Tue Aug 18 18:40:08 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux [18:48] Linux teabag 2.6.28-15-generic #49-Ubuntu SMP Tue Aug 18 18:40:08 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux [18:48] im using sftp [18:48] blackxored: is it better worded now :)? [18:48] konza, I said you to paste your conf, to do a grep and to probably go to #ubuntu-server for better answers [18:49] e370, only tuxgames.com sell games for linux i think.. but there are lots of clients availble from the FTP of the game companies, otherwise WINE will run a lot of things [18:49] so now my next big ubuntu project is networking my computers in the house and setting up a server :) [18:49] any one knows how to get the wifi card to work with ubuntu on sony viao vgn-ns20j [18:49] e370, Cedega is also a good option [18:49] ? [18:49] anyone how do I make networkinterface wlan0 by hand as it doesent appear even mu drivers are up [18:49] init: squid main process (3751) terminated with status 1 [18:50] e370, if you are serious about your gaming though, id just keep a copy of windows handy and avoid all the hassle *assuming you have Win?* [18:50] b3rz3rk3r, exactly e370: remember that main focus of linux is not gaming, and windows owns most market of games for the simple reason it has more users [18:50] e370, and as pointed check on http://www.playonlinux.com [18:50] e370, on run a virtual or dualboot, whichever you prefer [18:51] is there a channel for hardware related problems? [18:51] is anyone interested in helping me to get squid to startup automatically on my machine? [18:51] tbjj: try ##hardware [18:51] is there a good website on setting up a home network? [18:52] TheBrightKnight, that's the default behaviour AFAIK [18:52] Can anyone tell me why rhythmbox can't access the music on LAN HD but porgrams like mplayer, totem, nautilus can? - i think its something to do with permissions [18:53] I've probably messed around a little trying to fix it myself. [18:53] Actually, that brings up a question - which VM is going to offer the best video hardware support? [18:53] But it's not working now anyway [18:53] Hi, I'm having some trouble with my sound. I have uninstalled and removes Pulseaudio then added LASA (i think its called that), yet I still can't get sound. [18:53] TheBrightKnight, install sysv-rc-conf and enable it from there, that should work, assuming it starts and you haven't broke it of course [18:54] Also - same issue with ushare [18:54] hi [18:54] ahoy [18:54] I tried adding /etc/init.d/squid start to /etc/rc.local [18:54] Arc_Orion: vmware had some experimental support for using directx in a vm, didn't work too well when I tried though [18:55] Arc_Orion: this was a while ago though, they may have perfected it [18:55] I've got sysv-rc-conf and It's enabled there [18:55] TheBrightKnight, /etc/rc.local is for system admin customization only, per policy packages which include startup script set their links in /etc/init.d properly [18:55] Hmm, I'll look into that. Thanks, trism. [18:55] TheBrightKnight, so try to do what I've told you, then come back if it doesn't works [18:56] Now I'm in a pickle for ushare in there - cause some of the stuff I've tried myself has created probably non-standard entries in sysv-rc-conf [18:56] If I was to uninstall ushare, squid then work on cleaning my init scripts [18:56] Would that be a good way forward? [18:57] hi [18:57] TheBrightKnight, paste ls -la /etc/init.d/ [18:58] what is better clean install or upgrade (ubuntu) ?? just curious [18:58] hi [18:58] anyone used autossh in ubuntu ? [18:59] blackxored, u there? [18:59] blackxored, there was some problem with connectioin [18:59] rishiVIII, it's personal prefence, mine's dpkg --get-selections + clean install + dpkg --set-selections + apt-get dselect-upgrade [18:59] konza_, which problemas [19:00] thanks ubuntu for my free cd's btw [19:00] !rpm [19:00] RPM is the RedHat Package Management system.

[19:38] hi all [19:38] MOUD: there's an example in the file for how you can add Windows [19:38] sebsebseb: im installing ubuntu after windows 7 [19:39] i have just installed wine on my lappi [19:39] izmel: Windows 7 :( Vista version 2! [19:39] bipul You can just ask a question from the get go [19:39] can someone tell me if this post is helpful for my kind of issue? http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090827103038AA0CL5Y === Floops[w]1 is now known as Fringe [19:39] LinuX2half, whats your issue [19:40] sebsebseb: is there any way for me to extend my space? [19:40] lukasz_tarkowski, i know enough about networking to know ir's a software problem with ubuntu beacuse i dual-booted into vista and i'm chatting with guys for help [19:40] izmel: you shoudn't just run out of space on Ubuntu [19:40] I found this online and some are just not helpful because some commands aren't available. [19:40] sebsebseb: Windows is added but when I reinstalled it I changed the partition so now when I select it on grub it doesn't work. [19:40] izmel: unless your partition is to small for it [19:40] ahh zenguy311 [19:40] hmm [19:40] Hey everyone, I'm new to linux. I just installed a gournal (program) via synaptic, but it does not show up under applications like the other software I have installed. Can anyone help. [19:40] arvind_khadri: His full screen flash player lags [19:40] Im stumped [19:40] MOUD: ok well you need to know which partition it is, is it the second partiton the first? [19:40] if i don;t have wifi i'm helpless [19:40] hey yall [19:41] drvenom: Open up a terminal and type the program name, for a test [19:41] sebsebseb: i think 10gb is quite big aite? [19:41] sebsebseb: it was on sda1 but now it's on sda2 [19:41] arvind_khadri: yes, ummm I was was watching a online video and not a while ago I noticed that when I switched to full screen, the video is choppy. Some blame flash for this problem and others I had no idea.... [19:41] have you tried zenguy311 sudo ifconfig eth0 up [19:41] izmel: 10GB for / would be ok, but if you got /home in there and got bigish files and such, your going to run out of space probably [19:41] lukasz_tarkowski, there is wmaster0 and wlan1. wlan1 is what is use. [19:41] MOUD, you just need to edit the entries of menu.lst thats it [19:41] Nyoron, it opened up with no problem. Can I pin it to applications [19:42] sebsebseb: ok.thx [19:42] LinuX2half, you have compiz? [19:42] zenguy311: try this command sudo ifconfig eth0 up [19:42] drvenom, Rigth Click In Your Desktop Launch ... [19:42] zenguy311: did you restart your networking devices?......etc/init.d/networking stop.....etc/init.d/networking start [19:42] izmel: and this is why it's a good idea to have a seperate /home partition [19:42] lukasz_tarkowski, eth0 is ethernet cable connection i'm haven;t used that in months i'm using wireless [19:42] hey [19:42] izmel: plus it makes re installing Ubuntu easier, if you have a reason to do that later on [19:42] izmel: since your program user data files go in the hidden .folders in Home [19:43] sebsebseb: is there any differences between sda7 and sda5? [19:43] question, i've done that several times along side the force-reload command [19:43] sebsebseb: is it means different partition? [19:43] izmel: then you re install programs, and the old settings should still work [19:43] arvind_khadri: No, I removed it from my computer [19:43] zenguy311: try sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [19:43] !home | izmel [19:43] izmel: Your home directory is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home directory to a separate partition, please see: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome [19:43] izmel: not exactly [19:43] In terminal and enter your password in the terminal [19:43] sebsebseb, arvind_khadri: http://paste.ubuntu.com/267464/ [19:43] izmel: for example if I open up gparted I don't have partitions in order from sda1 to sda7 or whatever, in fact it skips some of the numbers [19:44] Lukasz_Tarkowski, i've used that command already [19:44] hmm [19:44] well I am stumped zenguy311! [19:44] izmel: on the top right though, it should say like /dev/sda and then if you cilck that, and you have another hard disk drive in, well that's how you would gain access to the partitions on it in gparted [19:44] sorry [19:44] arvind_khadri: are you trying to say that I could use compiz to view the fullscreen video? [19:44] i can't even scan using the "iwlist scan" command [19:44] izmel: or unalloacted space on it, depending what's on the drive [19:44] arvind_khadri: some said it had resolve this issue before [19:44] izmel: yes they are different partitions. partition numbers 1->4 are primary partitions, parition numbers 5 and above are logical partitions [19:45] is there a place to get xmake ? the official site seems to be down ? [19:45] how do i know i have a different partition for my ubuntu? [19:45] zenguy311: what error do you get when you try to scan? [19:45] can i see it through windows? [19:45] I'm looking to two-way sync folders of mp3s on 2 computers. Unison looks okay, but is extremely slow on the first pass because of the large collection size. Does anyone know of a solution that's "less strict" -- i.e. could use filename and size and that's it? [19:45] Lukasz_Tarkowski, thanks for trying ..i'll lurk here someore until i can figure it out [19:45] izmel: you won't have a seperate /home unless you made one on install [19:45] cornet, now that you pointed that out, there's another difference besides the fact it could be detected by bios, that makes them appart? [19:45] izmel: or after install [19:46] I need help, I cannot find the connection to my new internet server. It is hardwired, and plugged in. I have not used wireless internet so it could be my drivers. Could someone help me out here? [19:46] kasansweat: you look at rsync? [19:46] seems people are having trouble Ubuntu wireless [19:46] blackxored: sorry i don't understand what you mean ? [19:46] sebsebseb: if i run my ubuntu, i can see my windows partition, but when im on windows. i cant see ubuntu partition [19:47] cornet, primary vs extended parts [19:47] izmel: good :) [19:47] izmel: and that's the way it's meant to be really === ctmjr_ is now known as ctmjr [19:47] Dulak: I did, but when you start looking at 2-way, it gets a tad complicated. I may have to settle with rsync or Unison, but I was wondering if there was anything easier out there. [19:47] cornet, structurally speaking, what makes them different [19:47] izmel: Windows does not have support for Ext3 partitions, but there is a driver that can be gotton so that it can access Ext3 [19:47] izmel .. a palian windows installation does not recognize the ext partitions [19:47] yakman: how do I find out if my drivers are correct? [19:47] blackxored: oh right [19:47] *plain [19:48] cornet, ;) [19:48] MOUD: yes [19:48] MOUD: that looks like the Windows example to me [19:48] zenguy311: try this http://www.debianadmin.com/ubuntu-networking-for-basic-and-advanced-users.html [19:48] how to use copy and paste contents of one file into another file from nano ?

Could someone help me out here? [19:48] MOUD: however you can't just use it by uncommenting removing the # or ## [19:49] MOUD: in the example hd0,0 is the first partition on the first hard disk [19:49] sebsebseb: that's the one that grub created before I reinstalled the XP on another partition [19:49] navatwo, can u ping your server? [19:49] MOUD: you must add a similar entry, with your partition number, to the bottom of the file with the Ubuntu entrys [19:49] sebsebseb: http://imagebin.org/63056 <- is my home partition are seperate from other partition? [19:49] MOUD: well which one do you want to boot up by default?

[19:53] cornet, so did i ;) don't worry [19:53] blackxored: it's a limitation of the MBR partition scheme normally used on x86 machines. the MBR only has enough space to hold 4 parition entries ;) [19:53] izmel: ok that's not what I wanted [19:53] navatwo, do you know the ip addresss of your internet server/? [19:53] izmel: by default you won't have gparted installed, but you can easilly install it using the terminal [19:53] * Zachk18 is away: I am presently otherwise engaged. [19:53] earthling_: no, I can find out though [19:53] Arc_Orion: i could but im a little bit surprised seeing no gui ftp client being able to do that.. :/ [19:53] blackxored: heh - I just found http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_boot_record and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_boot_record [19:53] sebsebseb: hang on for a while..

[19:54] izmel: screenshot that [19:54] cornet, there's no much you can do with 512k ;) [19:54] blackxored: logical paritions are defined as a chain rather than distinct entires, see the EBR link above [19:54] I am in the base system and want to copy a part of text into another using nano, but the Ctrl+K only last till exit, plz... help someone [19:54] sebsebseb: here;s my gparted screenshot http://imagebin.org/63057 [19:55] hmm [19:55] "/ [19:55] cornet, that refreshed me up, thanks :D [19:55] blackxored: me too ;) np [19:56] "/away " [19:56] This is the original GRUB before I reinstalled XP on another partition.

[20:07] * + [20:08] Pabix: heh that's fine, I get the names wrong on auto completion sometimes [20:08] mord, does it come with fglrx? === ghost is now known as Guest74394 [20:08] MOUD: ok it's simple you have the Windows entry with your Ubuntu kernels and that [20:08] MOUD: all you got to do then is change the second number to the correct one, and it should boot [20:08] eni: no idea. i have an x1950xtx - works fine as far as i'm concerned for desktop use out of the box. if you'd like me to check what i'm using i can [20:09] mordof, thanks. [20:09] MOUD: also Grub starts on 0 so the first partition is 0 [20:09] Lukasz_Tarkowski: but the copied thing doesn't last when I exit nano into next nano [20:09] hmm [20:09] arvind_khadri: I'll try another way then [20:09] eni: though i forget how to check that xD [20:09] mordof, /etc/X11/xorg.conf [20:09] under Device [20:09] MOUD: maybe it's hd0,1 which would be the second partition on your first hard disk [20:09] cornet, it's not an issue to me, but if we're going to migrate the company to ubuntu, we're going to find low-end machines [20:10] pranav: try these Select: ALT + M + A Copy: ALT + 6 Paste: CTRL + U [20:10] Lukasz_Tarkowski, permission error [20:10] cornet, and don't talk to me about xfce since they'll hate it [20:10] cornet, :) [20:10] pranav: run nano with sudo [20:10] blackxored: lol [20:10] cornet, ;) [20:10] eni: it's empty o.o [20:10] wow.. [20:10] pranav: you have to run sudo everytime nano [20:10] mordof, it can't be [20:11] blackxored: well if these are workstations then I probably wouldn't worry too much unless they are really going to push the machines (in which case they should spend some decient money) [20:11] sudo vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf - file is there, but opens an empty doc [20:11] Lukasz_Tarkowski: Er. No. [20:11] hmm ok [20:11] sebsebseb: Oh ok. Thank you, I'll try. [20:11] this is my first time using ubuntu and my python binary is corrupt, how do i rebuild it? i tried apt-get install python --reinstall it says its complete but it did not update my binary [20:11] izmel: still here? can you boot 9.04? [20:11] mordof, dunno.. [20:11] cornet, those are the fews as I said :D nevermind I'll just let them kill each other :D [20:11] pranav: don't run nano with sudo [20:11] Lukasz_Tarkowski: pranav is using the ctrl-k which is a shortcut within nano, when nano closes, its 'clipboard' is lost as well. [20:11] sebsebseb: currently running 9.04 [20:11] ahh [20:12] sorry stumped then [20:12] izmel: ok, but 8.04 also boots up yes? [20:12] eni: it's a default install of 9.04.. maybe it's using some other file for default, and then reads xorg.conf as added? [20:12] pranav: sorry stomped [20:12] Phase: If you are using gnome-terminal, you can use shift-ctrl-c and shift-ctrl-v for copying and pasting. [20:12] mordof, have no idea .. i was asking you for help :D [20:12] sebsebseb: as my comp power up it will boot to 8.04 [20:12] Lukasz_Tarkowski: You meant I should run nano with sudo ?? [20:12] sebsebseb: then i will only select 9.04 from the boot selection menu [20:12] Pici, You highlighted me by accident. [20:12] pranav: no [20:12] eni: xD i fail [20:12] Phase: indeed I did. [20:12] Lukasz_Tarkowski: Ok, I will try [20:12] Pici, :) [20:12] izmel: ok right now it can boot up both 8.04 and 9.04? [20:13] mord, i ail asking a failor -_- :D [20:13] pranav: If you are using gnome-terminal, you can use shift-ctrl-c and shift-ctrl-v for copying and pasting. [20:13] mordof ^^ [20:13] facepalm! [20:13] I*m running 8.04 and have somehow managed to get my terminal window to start in the top left corner and I can no longer see the title bar and move the window around with my mouse - is there any way to move the terminal window with the keyboard ? [20:13] blackxored: one issue I have seen before is when machines hit the swap and keep stuff there even when memory has become free again - making the machine slow. doing swapoff then swapon cures this [20:13] aha [20:13] what Pici said [20:13] Pici: I am on the pure base system [20:13] eni: lol [20:13] \list [20:13] anyone know why my xorg.conf is empty? default install of 9.04 [20:13] cornet, interesting [20:13] !list [20:13] This is not a file sharing channel (or network). If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » [20:13] sebsebseb: yeah.. [20:13] Cv, try /list [20:13] pranav: Then you'd need to use an editor that has more than one buffer, like emacs or vim. [20:14] izmel: you also have Windows on there yes? and you can boot that up? [20:14] how do i list the channels? [20:14] Cv: /msg alis help [20:14] Hi eni [20:14] mordof: modern xorg.conf no longer needs a full xorg.conf it autodetects most things. [20:14] sebsebseb: yeah..can boot all os [20:14] izmel: all three ok [20:14] pranav: othrwise i'm stumped [20:14] erUSUL: makes sense - so where do i find what drivers my video card is using? [20:14] sebsebseb: 3 of them works great [20:14] If I wrote something on gedit then erased it then wrote something on it and saved it, is it ppssible to recover the erased data? [20:14] help [20:14] izmel: no other OS's by the looks of the screenshot, ok what you have done is a triple boot or multi boot as some would say, Windows, Ubuntu 8.04, and Ubuntu 9.04 [20:14] mordof: /var/log/Xorg.0.log [20:15] elis okie.. Thanks [20:15] well I am still learning hehe :p [20:15] blackxored: if any of our servers start hitting swap at all then there is usually a a big problem - i make sure there is at least 40% of RAM free under normal load to account for spikes [20:15] from the boot list.. 8.04, 9.04 and windows [20:15] izmel: ,but you want to turn it into a Windows and Ubuntu 9.04 dual boot yes? [20:15] cornet, no it's not for servers [20:15] cornet, servers rock here :D [20:15] sebsebseb: yeah..u got me [20:15] cornet, some low-end machines [20:15] izmel: ok that's pretty easy to do [20:16] sebsebseb: since im x running ubuntu 8.04 so i can save my space [20:16] help TOPIC [20:16] pranav: or use screen, and then you can hit f7, navigate to what you want to copy with hjkl, hit space to make the start and end of the text selection, and then hit ctrl+a ] to paste [20:16] их [20:16] blackxored: yer i know, just saying :) just spend as much of the non-existant money on ram as you can :) [20:16] sebsebseb: sounds gud. so can we start nw? [20:16] guys, just done a clean install of ubuntu, ran the updater and rebooted. On reboot I get an error, udevadm trigger is not permitted while udev is unconfigured [20:16] cornet, surely it's 512 mb on the low-ended so it wouldn't be much of a problem [20:16] sebsebseb: been trying so much and asking for guide here..but nothing works [20:16] various other error messgaes followed, and now I am droped into a shell [20:17] blackxored: as long as they don;t try to open a 2GB image file in GIMP then you'll be fine :) [20:17] izmel: since your booted into 9.04 right now, well you won't be able to delete that partition, but you don't want to do that anyway [20:17] who would do a 2gb image? [20:17] good day everybody ,is not possible to play swf in x86_64 ? [20:17] izmel: that will be the one that is shown as / in Gparted, and then I assume if you were in 8.04 the other one would be showing as / [20:17] Hey yall, I installed a 9.04 of ubuntu and my audio worked out of the box, and nwo in xubuntu doesn't. Anyone got an idea on a package that might fix that? [20:17] thats to big for gimp :p [20:18] eni: radeon_drv is the one mine is using. in the log that erUSUL told me to look through, it shows what chipsets are supported by that driver, and the x300 is in the list [20:18] izmel: a partition can't be deleted when it's running [20:18] eni: radeon_drv.so - module "radeon" is all it is called i guess [20:18] sebsebseb: so i need to delete it nw? [20:18] Lukasz_Tarkowski: any graphic designer editing high-res files can get close to that...not a good idea in gimp though because it doesn't handle large files well [20:18] thoughso trism [20:18] izmel: last chance, to check what's in it, and then easilly get any data, if there is any, that you haven't backed up [20:19] trism, you mean after typing screen in the console [20:19] ? [20:19] trying to do loop devices with losetup in ubuntu server 9.04 amd, but they are lost on restart, anyone familiar with this? [20:19] sebsebseb: do you mean i have to reinstall my linux after removing d partition? [20:19] !screen [20:19] Screen is a window manager for terminal sessions, also useful over SSH.

[20:19] cornet, actually the swappiness trick seems to improve even for me, (3 gb ram) :D [20:19] izmel: well there is a program that can access data of deleted partitions. and no you don't need to re install Ubuntu at the moment [20:19] mordof [20:19] eni: i haven't tried any 3d apps yet.. [20:20] sebsebseb: what shall i do nw? [20:20] well, glxgears how many FPS does it output ? [20:20] izmel: delete the 8.04 partition, make sure stuff is backed up from it first if there is anything, and then manually edit Grub to remove the 8.04 entry [20:20] blackxored: yikes i'm not touching my swap with 3GB :) [20:20] cornet, wanted to try ;) [20:20] eni: how do i test that? lol. i just switched over to ubuntu from windows - haven't touched it in like 4 years before now x.x [20:20] sebsebseb: if i remove the 8.04 partition. wont i remove the 9.04 as well since both them inside ext3? [20:21] izmel: no, because you have two Ext3's [20:21] izmel: one for 8.04 and the other is for 9.04 [20:21] mordof, open a terminal type glxgears and wait.. [20:21] sebsebseb: so, how can i remove the 8.04 partition? [20:21] * Lukasz_Tarkowski yawns [20:21] izmel: by deleting it in Gparted [20:21] trism: The bot says its window manager for terminal season, should I get it for the base system for copying and pasting / [20:21] * Lukasz_Tarkowski feels tired atm [20:21] eni: 4600FPS [20:22] owhh [20:22] mordof, what card are you using?

[20:22] i was using ettercap when i right clicked and disabled my wireless connection while ettercap was still sniffing. now i can;t can't use my wireless device even afetr rebooting countless enableing/disabling of wirelessconnection and network connection, I 've even tried /etc/init.d/networking retart and reload command which are no good [20:22] eni: x1950xtx 512mb [20:22] can you do something like "do-release-upgrade -d jaunty" ? [20:22] sebsebseb: right lick on sda5 and click delete? simply as it? [20:22] right now it seems to only want to go to hardy [20:22] sebsebseb: have nothing on 8.04 [20:22] mordof, is it any new card .. i have no idea [20:22] izmel: yes [20:23] pranav: it is very useful when you only have the command line to work with, might want to give it a try, since you seem to be only using a terminal [20:23] <{HaRiTh}> hi all , i have a little problem in my Ethernet LAN card , anyone who would like to help would be appreciated , thanks [20:23] izmel: right click and delete [20:23] when i click a link in Firefox, i get this error: The 'Manual' browser command has been chosen, but no command has been set.

Please unmount any logical partitions having a number higher than 5 [20:23] when i click a link in pidgin, i get that error [20:23] eni: it's the top card right before the newer dx10 series. i bought it.. jan of 07 i think? can run crysis ok at close to full [20:23] pranav: I mostly suggested it because it gives you a way to copy and paste between applications without being in an x session [20:23] izmel: ok maybe you opended it in Ubuntu [20:23] sebsebseb: then? how [20:24] izmel: it should be on the desktop in that case, where you can unmount, but I think you can also do it in gparted to unmount [20:24] sebsebseb: i just click the format [20:24] mordof, i see.. mine is older though. :/ [20:24] let me be more specific, I installed a 64bit version of UBUNTU, and everything worked basically out of the box with some minor tweaks. But When I installed XUBUNTU 32bit, My audio isn't working. Is there a package or something I can get to fix this, or should I just go back to Ubuntu? [20:24] sebsebseb: no selection for unmount [20:24] izmel: no not format [20:24] mordof, better performance might be lined with better card mostly. (that's an ATI no?)

[20:26] izmel: ok you can leave this for now [20:26] I need it to go away post-haste [20:26] u mean reboot system or what? [20:26] mordof, thanks for being 'modest' about your card.

[21:02] fiver22: Comment it out [21:02] berrt: that'd likely work just fine [21:02] berrt, run vista in a vm [21:03] Flannel: Thanks! [21:03] anyone have any luck running openvpn as normal user? [21:03] You usually need superuser privs [21:03] trism: u checked that code? [21:03] v86: so network-manager doesn't work then?

However, i see no way to add devices to the machine via the blue tooth manager...what am i missing? [21:04] thiebaude - i would like - i have a legal copy of vista - but i don't have the install discs or the HP recovery partition to make said discs. so i'd have to be a bit nefarious in my methods. what is the major VM for ubuntu? [21:04] !vm [21:04] There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications [21:05] trism: http://paste.ubuntu.com/267510/ [21:05] trism: check this error [21:05] berrt: I've had the best luck with virtualbox, since there is a version in the repos, but I had issues getting usb devices to work in the vm...I have better luck with vmware for that [21:06] berrt virtualbox. We run vmware at my work here, but on the laptop i run virtualbox. It outperforms vmware on speed. No virtual switches though. [21:07] ehazlett, nm-applet is not openvpn. [21:07] i386 or lpia ??? [21:07] ehazlett, the nm-applet vpn facility is buggy, at best. [21:07] ehazlett, look at gopenvpn. [21:07] I just build my own router and put it on an internal network in virtual box. then use it like a switch. [21:07] v86: yeah, i know but with the network-manager-openvpn it won't connect due to the privileges [21:07] trism grendal_prime - i would need usb compatibility (to sync zune) - i should go with virtualbox first and try vmware if it isn't up to par? [21:08] is /bin/nologin good if i want to restrict a user from getting a terminal session? [21:08] v86: cool - i haven't seen gopenvpn -- i will probably just use the command line, but wondered why nm didn't work... [21:08] berrt: that's what I'd do [21:08] what's the site for pasting large chat messages? [21:08] you cant use the ose version of virtualbox then. Just go to the virtualbox websit and get the liscensable version of it. vmware is slow . [21:08] Zachk18: paste.ubuntu.com [21:08] Flannel: thanks [21:09] ehazlett, that would be openvpn. [21:09] Flannel: i don't have a large message just wanted to know for future reference [21:09] ehazlett, the nm-applet one really shouldn't be used. [21:09] Keiffer, can you set up an guest account for that user? [21:09] v86: yeah, everything works fine with openvpn -- it was just a curiosity question...

[21:15] indian_munnda: sorry, not compile, link [21:15] indian_munnda: if you have the executable, you just do a ./executable_name_here in the shell [21:16] "/join #shtooka" [21:16] trism: when i did nasm hello.asm it has created a new file name "hello" in the directory... [21:16] indian_munnda: so you would do a ./hello [21:17] trism: it say cannot execute binary file [21:17] indian_munnda: then you didn't assemble/link it correctly, it tells you how in the comments for the hello.asm file [21:18] i don't have a guest user. how do i create it?

I would like to buy a computer tu make a home linux serveur with ubuntu and i was wondering if anyone had any suggestion on the kind of computer that i could buy. For a good price. The server would do standart stuff such as web,dhcp, proxy file server. Thanks in advance [21:18] Keiffer: having a gust user is a Windows thing [21:19] Keiffer: most people that run Ubuntu I think only run it with one user account [21:19] indian_munnda: What is the extension of the file that ir created after nasm filename [21:19] ?

Nothing is showing up in var/log/messages [21:28] Tamale, start with hardware. mem check etc. [21:28] durt: everything checks out [21:28] durt: I have no problems when I boot into CentOS [21:29] lu6cifer: I'd recommend getting a livecd, boot it up and do "fsck -p /dev/sda#" (where # identifies your root partition "/"). If that doesn't do an fsck you might have to do "fsck -fy /dev/sda#" (which will force the check even if it thinks the system is clean) [21:30] Tamale, then figure out what is different, video card wise, kernel wise. the big stuff, then to applications. What are you doing when it freezes etc. [21:30] anybody care to help me with recovering my files after boot crash?

[21:40] mean what does persistent mean in this case [21:40] adac: means changes are saved.. [21:40] hmm somthing with caspar [21:40] IndyGunFreak, changes are saved i can upgrade it and so on [21:41] adac: then its a persistent install, so it should "save" your xorg.conf [21:41] Tamale: run this in a terminal and see what it say's egrep "Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers" /var/log/Xorg.0.log [21:41] Hello :) I just got a Lenovo s12, formated and installed ubuntu and have updated the software.

[21:42] IndyGunFreak, if i do iwlist scan it say failed to read data,invalid argument. [21:43] IndyGunFreak, I noticed that pretty much on every pc I boot the stick the resolution is detected correctly (accoring to the monitor). What part of bootin is responsable for that?

You using your Ubuntu as a firewall or something? [21:46] Tamale: no idea but you better fix it while you still can [21:46] thereis something graphical to manage ports?? [21:46] Poul|Raider: are you on a live cd? [21:46] IndyGunFreak, and now it say connection establised but its just gray in the gnome network manager [21:47] IndyGunFreak, naa i got ubuntu installed [21:47] anyone here use elisa media centre? [21:47] no its just that i want to receive data by an udp port, but ubuntu closes every port [21:47] biZoru: what is the problem you are trying to solve. i.e. why are you wanting to open a udp port [21:47] and i dunnno how i can open it [21:47] biZoru: You need to have an application running that can listen on the port [21:47] biZoru: ok you can't receive data on a port unless something is there to receive it [21:47] ctmjr: It's not an important system. I think I should format and re-install [21:47] Poul|Raider: again, what is the wireless device [21:48] IndyGunFreak, 2sec need to google it [21:48] biZoru: What kind of data are you trying to receive?

Ubuntu doesn't know what to do with random data. You have to have a program listening on that port and you'll not have a problem. [21:49] IndyGunFreak, ohh sorry must have missed that. [21:49] im asking it because when i run nmap to the machine there is only the ssh port open [21:49] biZoru: type this to see all programs listening on ports and what ports they're listening on: netstat -an [21:49] sameshima [21:49] Poul|Raider: open a terminal and type "lspci".. assuming its a internal device, it will spit out some crap about your internal devices, look for your wireless device [21:49] Hi - Can anyone help me with Network Bridging?

[22:39] what's the cleanest way to import a packge from a more recent version ? === sas is now known as sasl [22:40] webustany: What package? [22:40] reinstall [22:40] Newest version, always forget the name :( [22:40] nozu: ok no problem :) [22:40] lol [22:40] Flannel: sqlite3 [22:40] Oh, sqlite [22:40] !prevu | webustany [22:40] webustany: prevu is an automated, personal backporting utility. Check out https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Prevu for more details [22:40] I searched on the ppas === sasl is now known as gewt [22:40] Flannel: thanks I'll have a look === luke_ is now known as ghost781 [22:40] 9.04...nickname unknown haha [22:40] webustany: Try that. depending on what sqlite needs (and what uses it), it may be easy, or might be a headache [22:40] McShane: so it can be vlc? I meant vlc.deb? where do I get .deb? [22:40] let's see.. [22:41] frojnd: why are you looking for the .deb file.. just apt-get it? [22:41] running on latest kernel === digilink_ is now known as digilink [22:41] Got a fresh-installed Xubuntu 9.04 on a Compaq Presario SR5102HM, no known hardware issues. Installed fine. Haven't installed any restricted drivers (such as for the video card) yet. Did let it install all available updates, though... and then, after restarting, I get a mouse cursor and a light blue blank desktop and nothing else. [22:41] frojnd: Look up VLC in Synaptic, the deb package manager [22:41] IndyGunFreak: and how can I execute than? dpkg --force-architecture -i vlc? [22:41] frojnd: are you trying to install 32bit apps, on a 64bit OS? [22:41] what do you guys use to partion your drives? [22:41] Blebleman: ok there was someone the other day with a similar issue [22:41] ghost781: gparted is great [22:42] ghost781: i use partedmagic live cd.. [22:42] aight that's what i just made a DVD of but i wasn't sure [22:42] I've tried dpkg --force-architecture -i vlc and I got: dpkg: error processing vlc (--install): cannot access archive: No such file or directory Errors were encountered while processing: vlc [22:42] IndyGunFreak: McShane how come? [22:42] Blebleman: by the sounds of it, you won't have luck with 9.04, you won't have luck with 8.10 even, and why, because of the versions of xorg they have, but 8.04 should work [22:42] If I boot X, screen is kinda garbled, and I can't even switch terminals. [22:42] See i used to use nortons partion magic on XP but i just recently did the switch and i never made a liveCD of partition magic [22:42] frojnd: you've yet to answer my question [22:42] Is the standard desktop download the same as a LiveCD version? [22:42] IndyGunFreak: yes [22:42] Anybody got any idea what I can do about my blank desktop problem? [22:43] Well, it's all right if I can't run the drivers, I just want to be able to boot into X again! :) [22:43] Hmm i think i need a better name lol [22:43] ghost781: partedmagic is a bit different.. its not Partition magic.. google it.. its a little better than Gparted IMO, but both will get the jo done [22:43] Blebleman: do recovery mode from Grub, and then do an xfix [22:43] Blebleman: that should take care of that [22:43] frojnd: and you don't see any issues at all w/ what you're doing? [22:43] I have an issue with not being able to login using GDM, SSH is however working fine. Authlog says this: pam_unix(sshd:session): session opened for user sebastian by (uid=0). pam_unix(gdm:auth): authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty=:0 ruser= rhost= user=sebastian. And my uid is NOT=0 it is really 1001. Any thoughts? [22:43] Oh my bad hahahaha i totally misread that. [22:43] Tried that, and the xorg.conf doesn't even change. (tbh, it's quite empty.) [22:43] Is the standard desktop download the same as a LiveCD? [22:44] qbrix: yes, if you burn that you have a live CD and can install from it [22:44] Blebleman, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver tells you how to switch between the free radeon and ATI's fglrx [22:44] !xorg | Blebleman [22:44] Blebleman: 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 [22:44] cool thx [22:44] ghost781: if you have a live cd of Gparted, it will be fine, I just like partedmagic, cuz it actually has some networking tools, etc. and i surf the net while big drives are partitionining, rather than sitting around being bored [22:44] Oh well that's bloody cool. [22:45] !language | ghost781 [22:45] ghost781: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [22:45] Whoops. [22:45] sebsebseb: ?.. bloody?.. thats pushing it. [22:45] I've got TV and my laptop though so I guess I'm not to worried about that. HOwever I would like to play around with Ubuntu a bit more while it's partitioning. [22:45] IndyGunFreak: heh [22:45] Ya I know right, that was pretty vicious for not a bad word. [22:46] but i guess i shouldn't bash and get banned [22:46] ghost781: depends on it's context, but I guess not in that one, and the o ps woudn't ban or kick you for that [22:46] ghost781: well, you could jut use the Ubuntu Live CD... and install Gparted on it, and use it to partition the drive, and still surf the net, etc.. while it partitions.. but.. the system can sometiems be slow while doing all that [22:46] !sound | Darkebrz [22:46] Darkebrz, please see my private message [22:46] Guys, can we keep the non technical (non ubuntu related) chat in #ubuntu-offtopic? :) [22:47] somebody here using zeus script on XChat ? [22:47] robbmunson: this channal goes a bit offtopic every now and again [22:47] robbmunson: what has been "non technical"... nothing. [22:47] Oh my bad lol didn't know it was supposed to be in another channel [22:47] ghost781: don't worry about it, some folks just like to feel like they are somebody, just don't be blatant about it. [22:48] nah i'm pretty laid back lol but i understand the need for a separate channel [22:48] yup [22:49] apw, sir, I see your https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingKernelSuspendHibernateResume but it doesn't have any suggestions for debugging resume. Is there any useful information I can get off my disk after a failed resume? [22:49] Amqui: I'm sure that #xchat is the better place for that question [22:49] I wonder why I don't have the `¦' key [22:49] ok [22:50] I'm having trouble with my webcam. Ubuntu detects it but it shows only a black screen. I have tried installing different drivers but always the same problem. I [22:50] hey. if I uninstall firefox, all of my settings will be kept right if I re-install, right? [22:50] herenbdy: yes [22:50] through apt-get [22:50] herenbdy: firefox settings are stored in your home directory, which isn't touched by apt-get package removal. [22:50] I'm starting to get worried that I have messed up my gstreamer library could that make the webcam functions stop working? [22:50] thought so, thanks [22:51] herendby, your profiles (or pointers to them in profiles.ini) are in ~/.mozilla/firefox and an uninstall leaves that alone. === make is now known as ChuzeiN [22:52] ey if i have a ubuntu karmic koala alpha version i can update to release when release is back?

[23:22] i dont understand the question [23:22] djshotglass: why do you need the desktop of the remote system. What will you be doing when you get connected? [23:22] ssh is all fine and dandy, but it has a gui i might as well use it [23:22] so i can run things like vmware on it [23:22] ActionParsnip, do I need to use Unetbootin or whatever its called [23:22] cant do that though ssh only [23:22] djshotglass: you're probably looking for this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=392184 [23:22] I have a mac hfs+ USB stick that I need to write to in Ubuntu but for the life of me I can't.

[23:41] LoCoBoi187: LabView is not officially supported by ubuntu and is not supported here [23:41] fccf: we can try [23:42] ok can somebody still help me? [23:42] i thought its all open here [23:42] grr, its still showing that only root is the owner..everything else is greyed out [23:42] hello Gouda I have removed my gfx restricted drivers. [23:42] rw: not if it isn't in the repository [23:42] also i only have a recovery boot no safe boot [23:42] dannyD: have you tried open Nautilus as root and then trying to write too it? [23:42] let me try remounting it with uid 1000 [23:42] rw: can u help me? [23:42] last thing is when shutting down there was some writing, something about bus connection failed. [23:42] rw: no..will try next [23:42] LocoBoi187: dunno, maybe [23:43] LoCoBoi187: You'll want to just follow whatever instructions NI gives out for installing. If you have specific questions along the way, feel free to ask. [23:43] Waseem: That's itneresting...almost sounds like a hardware error message [23:43] Gouda, yeah but because vista works without freezing or errors I am not entirely sure. [23:44] ill know now anyway if it freezes [23:44] if it doesnt then it means it was the gfx driver [23:44] Waseem: I would try googling that error message and see if anyone else has seen it [23:44] Yeah, you just have to narrow it down [23:44] anyone willing to help me with my bt problem :-) [23:44] i cant the error message is when shutting down [23:44] and i forgot what it said exactly [23:44] take a picture of it with a digicam :) [23:45] waseem: does your pc crash and reboot instantly? [23:45] booobbb, no. It freezes and just stays like that. [23:45] does anyone know how to get firewire to work on ubuntu 9.04? === kompulsa_dot_com is now known as Tetracomm [23:45] system was fine for months and now just does that? [23:45] is there a repostry of gcc 4.4 for ubuntu 9.04? [23:45] ActionParsnip: give me a little help on the uid=1000 its not liking that. Is it uuid? [23:46] dannyD: try writing to it as root (alt+f2 gksu nautilus). That way we can determin if it's a driver issue or a permission one [23:47] rw: ok will do [23:47] booobbb, no system was working but had issues which I fixed and then updated. but the updated version (9.04) wasnt compatible with the drivers so i reverted back to LTS edition. and now this all happens. [23:47] Having a problem with samba. I can see folders, but my login isn't working. I must of missed type something in my user name or password. I'm not sure thought. Is there a way I can change this [23:48] dannyD: sudo mount /dev/ /mount/point -o rw,user,uid=1000 [23:48] rw: well that seems to be doing something. hmm so I guess it was permissions [23:48] ah ok. see, im not at all a linux specialist, but i had a tought time searching for a crash-and-reboot on my notebook lastly [23:48] charles_: sudo smbpasswd -a $USER [23:48] hmm i think it was my restricted gfx drivers causing this freeze as now i have them uninstalled and its still running [23:48] zurna [23:48] usually would freeze by now. [23:48] is there a way to turn off the "reboot now" window ... because when I click reboot - I just want it to happen [23:48] ActionParsnip: thanks I knew I was missing somthing at the end but it seems to be working in a su'd nautilus now [23:48] after 2 wooks of searching and reinstalling os and formatting hard drive, it turned out that it was a hardware problem [23:49] probably graphic card or motherboard broken. send in my notebook to asus [23:49] sent* [23:49] ActionParsnip, Thank you [23:49] That's your first mistake right there...Asus [23:49] Okay, I have done as much as I can to fix this. I absolutely no sound in GNOME even after updating ASLA. I would really appreciate if anyone could help [23:49] dannyD: at least you got it working :p [23:49] hehe [23:49] how do i figure out what version of pulse i am using? i find it confusing that in synaptic it shows something like 1:0.9.16. What's up the the colon? [23:49] I have had more issues with Asus boards and so have friends [23:49] yeah booobbb I would suspect its the hardware if it wasnt for dualbooted vista working fine. [23:49] the point is [23:50] Darkebrz: try installing PulseAudio [23:50] it worked out fine with this and this configuration [23:50] does anyone here know how I can get more incvolved with Ubuntu and beceom part of Motu [23:50] but it got worse [23:50] rw: yeah, thanks millions for your help. I don't use these commands too often so I forget all the ins and outs [23:50] but seems like my comp is not crashing now, but this leads to me wondering why the drivers caused it to crash in the first place. [23:50] first, reinstalling graphics driver would work [23:50] than booting into safe mode [23:50] dannyD: no prob, that's why I'm here [23:50] now i need to find gfx drivers that wont crash it lol [23:50] Darkebrz: you can find it in the repos. or in the add/remove program [23:50] on0bi, I had PulseAudio, I removed it after a suggestion from a friend. (sound didn't work with PulseAudio anyways) [23:50] then booting on a secon display. but this is pointless [23:50] What would reinstalling it do? [23:51] anyone know what kind of problems i'd be looking at using karmic koala for developing websites with [23:51] hello [23:51] Darkebrz: did you try switching the audio streams when you had it? [23:51] Darkebrz: you have checked if channels are muted in alsamixer? press m. [23:51] Darkebrz: that was a problem for me when i had it [23:51] I have checked that booobbb, and I guess I will try that on0bi [23:52] panels insist being on top of my mythfrontend ... they went nicely behind it with gutsy, but now (jaunty) they wont and i cant figure out how to make them [23:52] Would I have to uninstall ALSA for PulseAudio to work? [23:52] checked "aplay" in the console? does it print an error message? [23:52] nOStahl: #ubuntu+1 is the place to ask about Karmic [23:52] k [23:53] Darkebrz: no [23:53] Darkebrz: use this how to http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=776739 [23:54] Just ran aply, waiting for it to finish [23:54] *aplay [23:55] What does aplay doing, its taking WAY to long [23:55] Unless its supposed to take an extremely long time. [23:55] if its any better I use the fglrx driver for my xpress 200m graphics adaptor. [23:55] Darkebrz: you will be waiting a long time if you just typed aplay [23:55] hi! ive got a wireless card here, but is not detected in lspci [23:56] how can i find out what card is it exactly? [23:56] and i need to install fglrx and not have my laptop freeze [23:56] any help is appreciated [23:56] helloooo guys can anyone answer a simple question for me? :) [23:56] who runs a web server here [23:56] I have two running [23:56] exit [23:56] Okay, I'm gonna do that tutorial ctmjr, I hope it works [23:57] do you use a dns service? === hektorgibson is now known as hg [23:57] i set init 1 on a remote server through ssh and er, cannot log in now :/ [23:57] Yes, Domain name and DNS serivce is exported out === hg is now known as hgl [23:57] Hala possible question [23:58] well I have been trying to set it up properly [23:58] Are you having a hard time getting to yours?
