I want to use the GUI way to repair grub and I read a guide where I have to select "manual partition" but from there I can't "mount" the drives as it says in the guide. Any suggestions? [01:16] pitput, the cli way is much easier [01:16] On those movie/tv show websites... that usually have internal video or media players, is there any way i can get totem to run, when i click on the link to view the video ? [01:16] I did not know that ubottu was a female bot, that's funny [01:17] so if i was to look at the sources.list, i could probably browse those repositories and download at least some of it for him [01:17] xmnt_, I know. People have been telling me. but I just can't get it to work [01:17] xmnt_, the gui way would probably be best for me [01:17] !piracy > G-man [01:17] G-man, please see my private message [01:17] G-man probably not if it's an embedded flash player such as on youtube [01:17] or Hulu [01:17] !piracy > Irishmanluke [01:17] Irishmanluke, please see my private message [01:17] #whitesource [01:17] and once i did that, where would he put them? there must be a directory that apt will check before trying to download [01:17] G-man: well I guess not if it's Hulu for example to the piracy thing [01:18] dm-madman: you can use dpkg -i filename.deb instead of apt-get [01:18] oh apt-get downloads debian packages [01:18] aleskandro: Up in the top right hand corner, there should be a speaker icon. Click on that and go to audio properties or whatever it is. I'm currently not in Ubuntu so I can't find the correct termonoligy for you. [01:18] dm-madman: or copies them from a repo on a local fileystem [01:19] dm-madman: apt-get downloads files to /var/cache/apt/ [01:19] http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/268854/ I get stuck on step 4. Any suggestions? [01:19] dm-madman, apt-get is a package manager ... it handles packages and their dependencies ... doesn't mean you'll always get the most up2date packages though [01:19] ah so basically if he just dumped the whole cd i send in there he could apt-get all that stuff easy [01:19] pitput: "stuck"? [01:19] dm-madman: it would need to use the apt repository format [01:19] he would use dpkg to install them, not apt [01:19] dm-madman: aptoncd can handle that [01:20] dm-madman: or you can use dpkg -i file.deb instead of apt-get [01:20] Flannel, yeah, the "mount" option is not available after selecting manual partition [01:20] lstarnes: i do not have these utilities [01:20] pitput, your playing with fire there [01:20] dm-madman: or dpkg -i /path/to/packages/*.deb [01:20] pitput: "use as" it might be labeled [01:20] dm-madman i recommend you find him an internet connection [01:20] G-man: for not to [01:20] lstarnes: i do not believe they are available for gentoo... [01:20] Hey, quick question. I have xubuntu installed on my computer, and I recently switched to xubuntu on my PowerPC. I need to get rid of xubuntu on my old PC now, though, and retain Win XP. Will simply deleting the xubuntu partition work, or do I need to do something special to uninstall GRUB? [01:20] Flannel, It won't let me proceed if I don't select anything [01:21] hello [01:21] dm-madman: they likekly aren't, but can probably be ported [01:21] hi, does suspend to ram work with ubuntu 9.10 and fglrx? [01:21] *likely [01:21] i need some help [01:21] kd8JHC: i'm not buying him internet, i'll send him some cds though LOL [01:21] !hi | SnowKitty [01:21] SnowKitty: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [01:21] pitput: Right, go to each partition and choose a "use as" or maybe it's "mount point" (and make sure you have them set to not format) [01:21] hi folks. is there any way to get the livecd to not start up x? i'm trying to live boot karmic alpha 5 on a machine w/ati hd4670 and the display is completely corrupted. i don't want to install karmic yet though, thus livecd [01:21] how do i change the authentication method(su/sudo) in ubuntu 8.04? [01:21] my mom accidentally removed the icon at the top menu that shows the signal strength/wireless connection [01:21] djanatyn: If you don't have a Windows XP (dual-boot), you'll have to obtain a Windows XP disc and install it.

[01:22] xmnt_, I'm out of options. I think that is the only way. I tried changing hd0,0 to hd0,1 and neither of them let me boot up windows 7 [01:22] running 9.04 if that helps [01:22] pitput, were you missing the options in grub? [01:22] * barry_ -> #ubuntu+1 [01:22] jarjar: how you mean "authentication methods"? [01:22] SnowKitty: I think that is nm-applet [01:22] pitput: If GRUB boots to the grub menu, the alterate install reinstall GRUB thing isn't going to help [01:22] pitput, or i guess the ability to select windows? [01:22] SnowKitty: What menu? Right-Click on the top/bottom panel and "Add to Panel" and type in "menu" [01:22] xmnt_, no. I "see" my option, but when I choose it, it says mission bootmgr [01:22] yes, nm-applet [01:23] SnowKitty: it's also easy to reset panals back to defaults [01:23] !panal | SnowKitty [01:23] Sorry, I don't know anything about panal [01:23] how do i do that [01:23] !panel | SnowKitty [01:23] Sorry, I don't know anything about panel [01:23] !resetpanel | SnowKitty [01:23] SnowKitty: To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [01:23] !panels [01:23] did you look in /boot/grub/menu.lst [01:23] Can someone give me a hand with a quick problem I got?

[01:24] pitput, did you look in /boot/grub/menu.lst [01:24] okay, ill try that now [01:24] brb [01:24] mathix go with your question [01:24] pitput: No, repairing GRUB just lets you boot to GRUB, you're having a GRUB configuration issue [01:24] xmnt_, yes I did. I tried changing the hd0,0 to hd0,1 and still doesn't work [01:24] pitput: need to add an entry into menu.lst file so grub know it can boot windows and where it is. [01:24] how do i format my pen drive? [01:25] Um_cara_qualquer: gparted [01:25] Um_cara_qualquer: man mkfs [01:25] I'm doing a project and for that I need to run Mutella.

[01:25] pitput, pastebin your menu.lst [01:25] sorry about that [01:25] hey guys, i wanna upgrade to alpha 5, if I install it from a usb, will I be able to keep all my settings and things like Music, Pictures, Documents?

(It might though, under certain configurations, you likely aren't configured that way though)) [01:27] Flannel, the smaller partition is windows 7 [01:27] Um_cara_qualquer: without seeing what the error is, i can't really help you :p [01:27] pitput: sda1 or sda4?

Can I remove GRUB from my xubuntu live CD? unfortunately, I've lost my WinXP cd. === seidos- is now known as seidos [01:28] Flannel, it gives me "missing bootmgr" [01:29] alguem português [01:29] ?? [01:29] Flannel, and after that, I would need to fix grub all over again [01:29] !br [01:29] Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Obrigado. [01:29] djanatyn_: You need to replace the windows bootloader (ideally). You should ask in ##windows if there's any easy way to do that. If there isn't, there's some more options we have (we can always use GRUB by itself, without a full linux install, that just requires some manual things) [01:29] ok [01:29] my usb transfers are very slow, how can i make them faster? it seems like usb1 instead of usb2 [01:29] um [01:29] you might wanna check your bios on that one [01:29] TTNK: transfers from what ? [01:29] pitput: What that means is that Vista's boot manager is... well, I have no idea what that error means specifically, but that means thatGRUB is handing it off, and then Windows is dropping the ball somehow. [01:30] cornet just to transfer to an usb pen from my computer and backto other computer [01:30] Flannel, so that means I should just boot windows 7 beta and then use a bootloader for windows? [01:30] TTNK: could it be the USB key ? [01:31] TTNK: some of them are frightfully slow [01:31] cornet dont thinks so, i have many usb and it happens with all of them, i have 4 computers too and it happens with all of them too [01:32] TTNK: all computers the same ? [01:32] pitput: I'm not sure, I don't have any win7 bootloader experience [01:32] cornet yes, it starts fast but it decreases the speed [01:32] pitput: Grub can also boot Windows 7 (Vista Version 2) [01:33] sebsebseb, how can I get that to work? [01:33] pitput: as far as I know, exactly the same way as previous versions of Windows [01:33] Flannel, thank you for all your help! Now I know it's not a grub problem booting windows 7, but the configuration. [01:33] TTNK: have you done some tests with dd or bonnie to see if exactly what the rate of transfer is ? [01:33] dm-madman, http://img38.imageshack.us/i/errorbl.png/ [01:34] sebsebseb, I really don't know. I changed the hd0,0 and that didn't seem to make it boot [01:34] cornet i was reading this http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-hardware-18/ext3-usb-hd-slow-transfer-rates-ubuntumanual-mount-646506/ i dont know if its outdated, and i couldnt find where to change tofix it,thesolution is in post #7 [01:34] hey [01:34] * cornet looks [01:34] thanks guys, that command worked great [01:34] pitput: yeah I haven't looked at your pastebins, I might later [01:34] pitput: which is on the first Windows or Ubuntu?

[01:35] dm-madman, ok... how can i format it? [01:35] pitput: the first four are Ubuntu hmm, that sounds a little odd already, i'll have a look at the pastebins I guess [01:35] sebsebseb, here are the pastebins so you don't need to find them. http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/268857/ http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/268858/ [01:35] Um_cara_qualquer: that is what you did [01:36] Um_cara_qualquer: or are doing [01:36] hello [01:36] dm-madman, ok brow... i get it... now how can i format it? X_X === austin__ is now known as jenistin [01:36] Um_cara_qualquer: are you fuckin with me [01:36] ... [01:37] go f*** yourself [01:37] TTNK: ok you need to add those options to the kernel boot line [01:37] i need help. i minimize my windows and at the bottom they disappear?

[01:38] monte maybe you dont have a bottom bar to hold them [01:38] TTNK: Take a look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions about 1/2 way down the page, you want the section entitled "Change Boot Options Temporarily For An Existing Installation" [01:38] sebsebseb, hmm. so I should change the chainloader to +4? [01:39] pitput: can you do a screenshot of gparted? sudo apt-get install gparted if you haven't already installed it [01:39] TTNK: a bit further down it'll also tell you how to change them perminantly [01:39] is that the acpi thing? [01:39] ttnk: i do link i see my applications and places and stuff but if not how do i add it again [01:39] I tried Windows, and they said to just delete the xubuntu partition and WinXP would boot just fine with GRUB. is that okay? (just checking-don't want to nuke my computer ;) [01:39] cornet great, let me read it :Dthanks a lot [01:39] TTNK: np - hope you get it fixed :) [01:40] pitput: and no you don't change the chainloader [01:40] TTNK: i do link i see my applications and places and stuff but if not how do i add it again [01:40] wow, ##windows is pretty pro-linux O_o [01:40] monte are you using gnome or kde? [01:41] djanatyn_ or maybe they are pro-dontwanttomesswithmbr hehehehe [01:41] hello, can anyone recommend a wireless pcmcia card that supports monitor mode on debian lenny. I am currently trying to use kismet to perform packet capture but need this type of device. [01:41] sebsebseb, http://yfrog.com/0escreenshotcwp [01:41] pitput: I think I know what the problem might be, but please get me a screenshot of gparted so I can confirm if I am right or not, and tell you which partition is what [01:41] TTNK: i cant remember how do i find out i believe gnome [01:41] TTNK: it is gnome [01:41] i know you probably get this all the time, but can someone point me to a site or something that shows how to put flash into x64 jaunty? [01:41] will gnome ever get a dual panel file manager? I know of gnome-commander, and the others, but they don't allow picture previews. [01:42] when Ubuntu logs in and automatically decrypts my /home partition, is that just looking to wherever /home is? For instance, if I move /home to a different partition, is this going to cause problems? [01:42] pitput: Why do you want to dual boot with Vista version 2 by the way? [01:42] Dolphin offers dual panel, Thunar offer's dual panel, Nautilus is severely lacking in this area [01:42] sebsebseb, some software don't run as well on ubuntu as it does on windows [01:42] shane2peru: do you mean tabbed interface? [01:42] or is Dolphin tabbed [01:43] monte: i think you've probably accidently removed the window list addition from the panel. Right click on the panel, select "Add to Panel" and find the "Window List" item [01:43] sebsebseb, so by having windows and ubuntu, I have open options [01:43] h00k: dual panel is better, but tabbed would be a step forward. [01:43] shane2peru: Nautilus does do tabs [01:43] rouser: visit some flash site that doesn't try to be smart and detect flash itself (badgerbadgerbadger.com works) and click on teh yellow bar at the top of firefox [01:43] monte ok then its pretty ease, just right click on the upper bar and select the new panel option, that should add one panel, then just drag it if it isnt at the bottom or right click on it and at properties select bottom [01:43] h00k: it does! :) How? [01:43] pitput: software such as? you sure you can't Wine it and have it working properly enough for you in that? or virtual machine Windows for it, with enough RAM? [01:43] shane2peru: ctrl+t! [01:44] Great. Now ##windows says they don't know. [01:44] pitput: or use native alternatives :) [01:44] /last djanatyn_ [01:44] oops [01:44] h00k: ahh, found it, ok [01:44] shane2peru: :) [01:44] h00k: that is at least a step in the right direction, thanks for that tip [01:44] pitput: oh kind of interesting you done Ext4 for 9.04, not had any problems with that? [01:44] shane2peru: no problem ;) [01:44] sebsebseb, I want to run imgburn but it doesn't do well under Wine. My pc has 1 gb of ram so I can't VM windows, otherwise I would have done that ages ago [01:45] hello, can anyone recommend a wireless pcmcia card that supports monitor mode on ubuntu. I am currently trying to use kismet to perform packet capture but need this type of device. [01:45] h00k: I'm too much of a Gnome user to switch, but would love to see Nautilus upgrade to twin panels as an option. [01:45] pitput: you can VM xp with 1GB RAM, but I think you can also do Vista version 2 [01:45] shane2peru: I'm not sure what you mean by panels [01:45] djanatyn_ you will have to use your win install cd to fix mbr after you uninstall ubuntu, or use super grub to help you boot to your windows [01:45] sebsebseb, ext4 has way faster boot times and it's very smooth operations. Definitely stable. [01:45] h00k: where you can see both 'tabs' [01:45] shane2peru: oh, at the same time [01:45] shane2peru: yeah, not sure on tha tone [01:46] h00k: two panes [01:46] sebsebseb, I think I can VM windows, but I think my fan would burn up [01:46] djanatyn_: i can tell you how to fix this - /msg ok ? [01:46] h00k: well at any rate I can work with both tabs at least [01:46] okay [01:46] h00k: thanks [01:46] shane2peru: no prob. [01:46] pitput: yes I know about the faster boot time, since I used to use it on this computer in 9.04, before putting karmic alpha4 on, and the other computer has 9.04 with Ext4, however some might get a lockup issue when deleting big files in 9.04. it's still a little hmm since the kernel they have, but many people should clean install I think when 9.10 comes out for ful Ext4 support. and since the Ext3 to Ext4 conversion hmm. anyway [01:46] back to your issue [01:47] pitput: your fan would burn up what? [01:47] my battery ran out and on the next boot everything was firewalled out and some units switched from English to metric.. is this a known bug or should i report it? [01:47] pitput: your first hard disk is Windows, unless it's that other NTFS partition why you got that? [01:47] pitput: hard disk I meant partition [01:47] when Ubuntu logs in and automatically decrypts my /home partition, is that just looking to wherever /home is? For instance, if I move /home to a different partition (its own), is this going to cause problems? [01:48] pitput: Grub starts on 0 the first hard disk and the first partition is 0 [01:48] greetings, Paddy_NI [01:48] sebsebseb, I think that came out wrong. I meant the ventilation area would get 2-3 times hotter if I were to VM windows. That happened when I VMed ubuntu on windows back then. [01:48] Did Ubuntu get a more "serious-business" theme for 9.10? I heard talk.... [01:48] pitput: and so you should be able to just use the Windows example in menu.lst hd 0,0 [01:49] atlantis: don't think it will have that [01:49] sebsebseb, the other NTFS is to store all my pictures, documents, etc if I were ever to reformat windows or linux. [01:49] hello i'm having trouble dual booting windows 7 and linuxx [01:49] pitput: well a lot of people do a seperate /home instead of that kind of thing [01:49] atlantis: you can discuss 9.10 on #ubuntu+1 [01:49] Loose Windows 7, problem solved. [01:49] hittingpilot: hmm your another oen [01:50] hittingpilot - what is the problem [01:50] atlantis + sebsebseb: i just installed 9.04 and lost 7 [01:50] sebsebseb, hd0,0 would definitely not work. I tried that 2 times already [01:50] hittingpilot: :D [01:50] Did you over write the partition or just loose access [01:50] sebsebseb, Well, I started with Windows and that's how I always had it. I guess old habits die hard. [01:51] pitput: ok did you try hd0,1 ? [01:51] need help with a hardware problem [01:51] netskillsii: listed problem, lost 7 due to grub [01:51] pitput: if you got a hidden partition of some sort of on there, that could be why hd0,0 won't work [01:51] matthewbpt: hey dude [01:51] reboot from disc and repair boot loader [01:51] netskillsii: windows boot loader will not run from grub [01:51] sebsebseb, hd0,1 also makes it unusable. [01:51] h00k: what are you using to encrypt/decrypt? [01:52] adalal: hey [01:52] hi [01:52] sebsebseb, I don't have hidden partitions from the screenshot, did I? [01:52] losher: er, the kernel does it, afaik [01:52] hittingpilot - Is your grub configuration correct, have you checked your file [01:52] I founf a wireless acces point. but when powered on, nothing lits up. so I opened it up. I found PCMCIA card inside plus a CF card. [01:52] losher: encrypted home partition (which is just a folder at the moment) [01:52] pitput: well seems your not the only one to be having an issu with trying to dual boot Windows 7, to be honest it woudn't suprise me if Microsoft did something so Grub coudn't just boot it up [01:52] Hi everybody. [01:52] !hi | AspergersWorld [01:52] AspergersWorld: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [01:53] then trying to find a cause for its dead, on a little heat sink, i saw some part on the top brownish [01:53] nestkillsii: the partition is the correct one, but when i select it on the list i receive a BSOD [01:53] sebsebseb, yeah, I should reinstall my windows XP for now. [01:53] h00k: it's not truecrypt? I only ask so I could read up on it a bit... [01:53] nah, I have 7 on my laptop with 9.04 and it boots fine. just the smarter os/boot loader after. 7 first then the newest. [01:53] ...I hate to ask again but I just can`t figure out the md5sum...I went everywhere on the Web but it is inconsistent, confused...:( [01:53] pitput: or maybe atlantis can help you [01:53] losher: no, its an option on install (its actually Karmic, but the alternative installer for Jaunty also had this option) [01:53] sebsebseb, so when i reinstall, do I just install over windows 7 and then fix grub all over again? [01:53] im about to reinstall ubuntu, and i have alot files and movies on here i would to keep, how would i do this then recover my files after the installation is done? [01:53] pitput: ,but you should be able to use the Windows example in menu.lst really [01:53] will excessive heat make this signs. I heard it happens with regular processor's heatsinks. [01:54] sebsebseb, pitput: from my experience, Windows7 has a nasty habit of marking all other partitions as not-bootable [01:54] t0s -> are they stored under your user home directories? [01:54] pitput: Why not vm XP in Ubuntu? [01:54] atlantis, can I make if boot if I installed ubuntu first then windows 7? [01:54] sebsebseb, pitput: if you boot from a live-cd, mark your partition that Grub is on as bootable, restart, give that a shot. [01:54] pitput: the fan hmm? [01:54] no [01:54] n8tuser, yeah [01:54] hittingpilot - Try booting from windows 7 cd and perform a repair on the mbr and fix your boot. Have you tried this? [01:54] well, not that I'm aware of anyways. [01:54] windows and linux,...... windows always gets installed first. [01:54] t0s -> and /home is a separate partition? [01:55] atlantis: well Grub can be put on after [01:55] h00k: if it works on a folder basis (as opposed to per-filesystem) then it shouldn't matter if you move it and mount it from elsewhere. I'd be worried about the order in which stuff happens though e.g. mount before decrypt. I suggest you ask on #ubuntu+1 where they specifically discuss Karmic... [01:55] atlantis: Windows has gone over it [01:55] I'm sure if you search online you may beable to find a work around. [01:55] sebsebseb, XP in ubuntu is good? I would lose all my settings though after each loadup right? [01:55] netskillsii: yes it wants to kill everything else on my raid array [01:55] Anyone know anything about getting a webcam/camera to work with skype and kino? [01:55] losher: that is what I was thinking as far as both of your points. [01:55] pitput: not if you install into a virtual machine [01:55] losher: heading there. [01:55] pitput: then it will have your settings in the virtual machine [01:55] pitput: since that's a virtual hard disk [01:55] * kd8JHC runs xp, 2000, vista, and 7 in virtualbox [01:56] love it [01:56] like I said before, I think just re-inserting the linux disc and repairing the boot loader may work. I don't know his exact problem. I'm not a pro, just been throught it alot. [01:56] !love > kd8JHC [01:56] kd8JHC, please see my private message [01:56] Can anyone help with with a webcam problem? Lol. [01:56] ty sebsebseb :) [01:56] kd8JHC: heh [01:56] h00k: still there? [01:56] n8tuser, im not sure im new to ubuntu :/, in gparted i have ext3 extended and linux-swap [01:56] thelyfe21: ask your question [01:57] if someone knows, we'll answer [01:57] I'd get out ye-old hard drive or a stack of dvds and backup then wipe the main drive and reinstall. [01:57] losher: yep [01:57] losher: just highlight me [01:57] sebsebseb, h00k , atlantis : thank you guys for all your help! I appreciate it. [01:58] pitput: good luck! [01:58] kd8JHC: yep that's the way to do it really, Windows as the guest in a virtual machine, or not at all :D unfortunatly sometimes people have a valid enough reason to have Windows as host still hmm, but that's on the verge of changing :) [01:58] pitput: hmm so what you going to do? [01:58] t0s -> well find another backup hd to store you files temporarily and then re-install [01:58] how about if you try running the command prompt when booting from Windows 7 and typing the bootrec.exe /fixmbr and bootrec.exe /fixboot this should help you. Of course you will need to rebuild your grub after this... [01:58] sebsebseb, *sigh. reinstalling XP. I really don't think my computer can VM windows with 1 gb ram and have it run smoothly [01:59] sebsebseb: yeah, it works beautifully, however there are some hardware functions that won't work in the vms... but everything else, including all networking works great [01:59] hey, maybe someone knows what I should do. I am planning on selling my laptop and I would like to install jaunty for them but leave it so they can set up the user accounts themselves.. is there a way to do this? [01:59] pitput: well mine can and yep 1GB RAM [01:59] kd8JHC: yeah and 3D Windows gaming for example, but that's getting there in Wine and virtualization [01:59] bcurtiswx: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Ubuntu_OEM_Installer_Overview [01:59] bcurtiswx: there is an installation option to do that [01:59] yeah, OEM installer [01:59] just make a guest account with autologon and let them set the rest.... [02:00] hittingpilot - how about if you try running the command prompt when booting from Windows 7 and typing the bootrec.exe /fixmbr and bootrec.exe /fixboot this should help you. Of course you will need to rebuild your grub after this... [02:00] sebsebseb, how would I install programs in virtual machine..? that just seems weird [02:00] h00k: I'm thinking that you could copy /home to the new partition, then rename the existing /home to /home.orig, then mkdir a new /home directory and add an fstab entry to mount the new partition onto it. Then, if something doesn't work, just undo the rename you're exactly back to where you started. Minimal risk of data loss... [02:00] pitput: Virtualbox runs real Windows inside another OS or even the same OS if people do it with Windows as host [02:00] i have a file with a .sh extension - what do i need to run it [02:00] netskillsii: thanks a lot, i'll try that [02:00] pitput: then you can switch between the guest VM Windows and the host Ubuntu for example [02:00] Anyone want to help me with an SSH problem? The client stops responding before the key exchange. [02:00] sebsebseb - no games here. lol. Seamless mode is where it's at! [02:00] pitput: and you install programs in the Windows vm, like you would in a psyical install [02:00] hi all :) [02:01] losher: yeah, i could also keep a backup of /home on my thumbdrive, not much is there (mostly settings) [02:01] sebsebseb, can I drag files out of the VM onto linux (the host) [02:01] pitput: not sure [02:01] jenistin: bummer, still not solved then? [02:01] sebsebseb, that sounds so much easier. I should try it right now. [02:01] jenistin: sure, paste the output from ssh -v whoever@whatever [02:01] pitput: ,but I think you can copy in text from the host into the vm [02:01] pitput: you can set up shared folders accessible to the host and VMs [02:01] losher: nope, but I got server debug today [02:01] and yes you can copy+paste across VMs and to the host [02:01] dm-madman: I don't have output since the client is Putty on WinXP [02:02] jenistin: I'd like to see the server debug trace if possible... [02:02] kd8JHC, does I have to set up shared folders or can I just drag and d?rop onto linux? what about using a usb? is that okay [02:02] jenistin: oh well, the problem is probably in the ms tcp stack or something anyway [02:02] pitput: you will need for example the closed source version of Virtualbox from http://www.virtualbox.org if you want USB support [02:02] pitput: the open source doesn't have USB support, and both are free as in price [02:02] Hey can anyone here help me with installing blueman? every time i try it uninstalls bluez-gnome and then says that its required, and vice versa [02:03] sebsebseb, hmm [02:03] hi, i configured CUPS to accept administration on port 631 over the web [02:03] jas8522: [02:03] and i get 403 forbidden [02:03] how can i run a .sh file extension on ubuntu [02:03] sebsebseb, the closed source is still free right? [02:03] cornet: ? [02:03] jenistin: there is an option somewhere in putty to turn on debug logging [02:03] jenistin: try using openssh on windows and see if you get the same result [02:03] pitput: and instead of having loads of space wasted by Windows, you can do a dynamically expanding virtual hard disk :) which can grow to the size you put, as long as you have enough space in the partition it's in [02:03] cornet: accident I assume? [02:03] losher: the debug is at http://pastebin.com/f48ea52fe [02:03] jas8522: sorry tab completion flail [02:03] cornet: haha thought so [02:03] pitput: yep get it for Linux hosts from the site, and as I said still free as in price [02:03] * Growlithe is away: Food. [02:04] !away > Growlithe [02:04] Growlithe, please see my private message [02:04] dm-madman: It's the employer computer, I can't use cygwin. I tried with FileZilla and Aptana as well [02:04] pitput just install virtualbox and play with it. the beauty of VMs--if you screw up, delete the VM and start over :) [02:04] dm-madman: Putty can connect to other hosts however [02:04] I'm trying to browse the web from a network where port 80 is blocked on my Ubuntu (jaunty) laptop. Any good suggestions on how I might do that? So far my top idea was to ssh to my home desktop, install a proxy server, and go through that. [02:04] pitput: yep and your virtual hard disk, gets treated like a normal file in Ubuntu, except for it being in the hidden .virtualbox folder by default [02:04] cornet: For some reason the logging option didn't produce anything for me [02:04] pitput: so you can copy it easilly, delete it, etc [02:05] jenistin: so your problem is on the server? [02:05] !openoffice [02:05] a free and open source office suite that includes word processor, spreadsheet, presentation, vector drawing and database components. To install: "sudo apt-get install openoffice.org". For (unofficial) repositories containing OpenOffice.org 3, see https://launchpad.net/~openoffice-pkgs/+archive/ppa. User help available in #openoffice.org. [02:05] dm-madman: Other clients can connect to the server, other putty clients even [02:05] pitput: also on a psyical install XP takes about 20 to 40 minutes to install, well in Virtualbox it is pretty quick to install [02:05] ubottu: your resposes are so verbose, they could be considered spam :p [02:05] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [02:05] pitput: about 10 minutes and you will have a working vm [02:05] If my solution is a decent one, can anyone suggest a proxy server I can apt-get from the repos that's simple to setup? I have no experience with proxies. [02:05] sebsebseb, okay. so I install virtualbox? What about VM ware? How's that virtualization program? [02:05] wasn't hoping for intelligence, but maybe logging [02:05] !bot | dm-madman [02:05] dm-madman: Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [02:06] XP boots in virtualbox (on ath64) under 9.04 in less than 15 secs over here [02:06] snapppppy! [02:06] pitput: VMware well for home usage, Virtualbox is way better [02:06] i know it's a bot man [02:06] jenistin: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=851607 [02:06] hello, can anyone recommend a wireless pcmcia card that supports monitor mode on ubuntu. I am currently trying to use kismet to perform packet capture but need this type of device. [02:06] vmware NO virutalbox YES [02:06] pitput: also Virtualbox can even use VMware virtual hard disks, VMDK's without their silly vmx config file [02:06] jenistin: your host key is blacklisted i think [02:06] jenistin: but that thread says they solved the same problem anyway :) [02:06] * kd8JHC afk biab [02:07] pitput: when I say for home usage, I mean Virtualbox is way better than VMware player or server, which are there two free as in price ones [02:07] cornet: thanks for the link [02:07] sebsebseb: i know it's a bot, maybe you know the command to tell it to be a little less verbose with its responses [02:07] sebsebseb, that sounds good! I'm going to install virtualbox! [02:07] pitput: Home users are unlikely to pay for VMware products, but companies will, that want to do virtualization servers and such [02:07] how can I get cron-apt to run with proper permissions without messing with apt's permissions? (i.e. I guess I want apt-get upgrades to not require root as long as --download-only is being passed in?) [02:07] jenistin: pretty much confirms what we already knew. The server sees the client's protocol string & sends a protocol string and a key exchange init message, at which point the client appears to close the tcp connection. Cornet's comments are interesting... [02:07] cornet: wouldn't the host be blacklisted in only one client, not all 3? [02:08] sebsebseb, sudo apt-get install virtualbox? [02:08] pitput: when it comes to making the virtual hard disk, put dynamically expanding and I would like 60GB for XP [02:08] pitput: no [02:08] jenistin: they host key of the client, not the server [02:08] pitput: well you want USB support right? [02:08] sebsebseb, yeah, I want USB support [02:08] has anyone tried itunes 9 with wine yet? [02:08] cornet: oh, why would the client be blacklisted? it's on password auth [02:09] pitput: ok in the Ubuntu repo there's the open source version which lacks USB support, so get the other one from their site like I already said [02:09] to all:i have hardy lts 64bit edition,kernel 2.6.24-24-generic and when i leave computer on for long period of time(2h) my usb keyboard and mouse switch off and i can't switch them back on even if i re-plug them. [02:09] The ubuntu OEM installer is just on the DVD right? [02:09] sebsebseb, I don't think I have around 60 gb to spare for XP. My entire hdd is 120 gb [02:09] pitput: yes [02:09] jenistin: sshd should log something about why it closes out the connection [02:09] pitput: well I don't have 2TB, but if I really want to I can put 2TB for an XP VM as long as I do dynamically expanding === ctmjr_ is now known as ctmjr [02:09] pitput: basically when you do dyanically expanding it's the size the vm thinks it has [02:09] jenistin: the server and client does a key exchange of their own before asking for the user authentication [02:09] jenistin: maybe it's a hostkey change or something [02:09] how do i move a program for example "mpg123" to the background so i can continue using terminal while it runs [02:10] pitput: and the size the vm can grow up to on the psyical partition, as long as you have enough space [02:10] jenistin: you know when you login for the first time it asks you if you want to trust the host ? [02:10] jenistin: it's not like guessing will accomplish much...get some logs... [02:10] dm-madman: the debug says connection timed out [02:10] Mokesnap: start the program like this mpg123 & [02:10] cornet: yes, I'm following [02:10] jenistin: sounds like you're not even getting connected [02:11] ok i will try thank you [02:11] dm-madman: netstat shows there's a tcp established [02:11] pitput: the other option fixed storage, will actsaully make a virtual hard disk file, that is the size you put, so not usaully a good idea [02:11] jenistin: well the server implicitally allows all clients by default. what's happened is that the client key is blacklisted due to a vulnrability in the openssl encryption layer a few months ago [02:11] jenistin: on the server? [02:11] dm-madman: yes [02:11] pitput: that's the only thing, the other stuff is rather straight forward [02:11] cornet: I see [02:11] sebsebseb, Okay. I'll opt for dynamic and see what happens. Would I need to delete the windows 7 partition first? [02:11] I am new to Ubuntu, I have installed 9.04 and apache2, how can I tell if apache2 is a daemon? [02:11] jenistin: there was a patch integrated with the ssh server on debian and ubuntu to block these host keys [02:11] pitput: no [02:12] pitput: your installing in Ubuntu yes? [02:12] jenistin: certainly sounds like a problem with windows to me, then [02:12] cornet: Something interesting, I just tried it with sshd -dd and now the output says network child is on pid xxx [02:12] pitput: install it in Ubuntu and by default the virtualbox virtual hard disk and that will go in the hidden .virtualbox in Home, which will be crated when you do it [02:13] pitput: you know about the .folders right? [02:13] jenistin: you really should get some debugging info on the client end. get the logging turned on in putty or use openssh [02:13] djbpython: Install htop -- It'll tell you lot of things about your processes. Use that to search for "apache" [02:13] can someone help me set up administration with my server's CUPS from my desktop? [02:13] sebsebseb, yeah, installing in ubuntu [02:13] How do I recieve the URL behind a URL shortening service? [02:13] cornet: So if the client is blocked, why does the connection stop after the server has sent the init for key exchange? [02:13] pitput: from http://www.virtualbox.org for Linux hosts? [02:13] sebsebseb, I don't know about the .folders [02:13] jenistin: check out auth.log on the server [02:14] jenistin: see what it says [02:14] dm-madman: putty doesn't log for some reason, and I can't try OpenSSH because it's an employer's locked-down PC [02:14] djbpython: That's a terminal app by the way. So "sudo aptitude install htop" and run "htop" in the terminal (maximized for better viewing). [02:14] pitput: yeah I thought you might not of, it seems to me that the people that come here, that do Windows 7, and mention doing it with some issue, are usaully also pretty new to Ubuntu [02:14] sebsebseb, just to make sure. I choose the first one i386 right? [02:14] jenistin: maybe it's locked down with some kind of stupid restrictive firewall too [02:15] cornet: jenistin: interesting blacklist theory, is there any debug to back that theory up? [02:15] jenistin: of course you said you can ssh to anywhere else [02:15] pitput: Well are you on 32bit or 64bit? you would probably know if you got 64bit and had put 64bit Ubuntu on [02:15] jenistin: and also from anywhere else.. [02:15] 32bit [02:15] pitput: yep i386 then [02:15] dm-madman: correct [02:15] hello [02:15] sebsebseb, 8 minutes to download. lol [02:16] pitput: ok the hidden .folders in home, this I consider as being Linux basics [02:16] jenistin: which really just makes it strange enough to need logs even more [02:16] pitput: pretty fast connection? well the file isn't that big [02:16] I recently installed ubuntu over windows [02:16] dm-madman: losher: cornet: so, I have my work computer on a bat file to try connecting every 40'ish minutes, and now it has successfully established a connection [02:16] What is the default resolution of the cli? [02:16] sebsebseb, my connection sucks. is it ctrl +h for hidden folders? [02:16] pitput: basically a program messes up, move/delete it's hidden .folder normalley [02:16] hello? [02:16] jenistin: so the server is basically saying (got a connection..........it timed out) [02:16] pitput: .mozilla for example is Firefox and your bookmarks or whatever [02:16] how can i tell if apache2 is being run at start up? [02:17] How do I set Sound Recorder to record from line input? I have a tape player hooked to line in and I can hear it but Sound Recorder is only recording from the mic on my USB camera. [02:17] pitput: yep ctrl h I think, I do it from the menu [02:17] any hint? [02:17] dm-madman: losher: cornet: the only thing different about my current sshd is the first time on this bat loop was "sshd -d" and now it is "sshd -dd" [02:17] pitput: so when you install a program in Linux usaully that's it, you don't need to re install it [02:17] my GIMP just stopped working... any ideas? [02:17] jenistin: no idea then [02:17] pitput: if things go wrong with it, delete/move the hidden .folder [02:17] ne1 knows how to get the asus light sensor to properly work on karmic? === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [02:18] pitput: sometimes it's not so clear where these program user data folders go exactly, where in which .folder, but usaully it's pretty straight forward [02:18] * Pazako logged in here ruining the fact that before he logged in there were 1337 users in the chat room [02:18] jenistin: so I'm confused. Is it working or not? If it's working, do you have a log trace of it working for comparison? [02:18] jenistin: "bat loop" ? [02:18] I have no idea why... but gimp will not start [02:18] anyone? [02:18] dm-madman: yer, they eat fruit loops [02:18] How do you search for images in ubuntu. I don't know the name but I'm missing a folder full of wall papers. I was able to do it in window. Just search for images but I can't seem to do the name in ubuntu [02:18] i can't upgrade to jaunty using the update manager [02:18] dm-madman: bat-loop a windows shell script which loops [02:18] pitput: .Wine for Wine stuff, .virtualbox for the virtual hard disk, which won't be removed if you remove the entry for it in virtualbox. get the idea? [02:19] losher: I'll pastebin the current debug output, but I'm not at work to authenticate [02:19] does objC have a linked list of NSObject class already? [02:19] okie dokie [02:19] dm-madman: DOS bat file with a loop inside to run putty [02:19] yeah, i get it [02:19] sebsebseb, one off topic question. Why do people say it's bad to compile or whatever like using ./make, /install, etc [02:19] never heard that term before [02:19] sebsebseb, it's much clearer to me now than before you explained it [02:20] dm-madman: very off-topic, but bat files are windows shell scripts. Short for BATch... [02:20] pitput: it's not bad, it's just dependancies, well that's quite easy to solve in Ubuntu now, can't remember how, and well most programs that you want to run in Linux you can get from the repo anyway [02:20] something like ":TOP\n%1 %2 %3 %4 %5\nGOTO TOP" [02:20] pitput: also that wasn't off topic by the way [02:20] can anyone tell me how to get linux drivers for logitech mice? [02:20] if i remember batch writing at all [02:20] ne1 knows how to get the asus light sensor to properly work on karmic? [02:20] nickolaus: Places -> Search for Files [02:20] ubuntu specifically, obviously [02:21] sebsebseb, the download it only half way. haha [02:21] dm-madman: I remember punched cards. And dropping a pile of 300 of them on the floor once... [02:21] cornet: dm-madman: losher: the connection lasted pastebin.com/f149b9a5c [02:21] where can i find help making a usplash theme? [02:21] cornet: dm-madman: losher: clickable http://pastebin.com/f149b9a5c [02:21] is there some more good apps like gtkorphan to remove unesesary libs,maybe some app that remove old logs old unneded stuff to keep my system clean? [02:22] pitput: normalley it's best to get programs from the repo, or ppa's [02:22] jenistin: humm i'm wondering if this is a firewall problem thn [02:22] cornet: the auth.log doesn't show any problem with checking the key [02:22] pitput: ppa for later versions of many programs, but ppa's can also cause problems sometimes maybe [02:22] neonfix: we dont do karmic here [02:23] #ubuntu+1 [02:23] kd8JHC: thx [02:23] jenistin: i wonder if the server can't send data back to the client's non-priv port [02:23] sebsebseb, yeah, ppa can sometimes cause problems like my music player exaile [02:23] jenistin: I'm not convinced you got any further. Basically the client stops responding & the tcp connection on the server times out. It's just took a bit longer this time. You still don't seem to have gotten a reply to the server's KEXINIT... === floopsie is now known as Floops [02:24] pitput: the USB support, can be a bit annoying in VIrtualbox, because of how it needs to be set up [02:24] losher: the client receives that the server is OpenSSH debian etc. [02:24] pitput: ,but they also have a good manual on the website, and there's also #vbox [02:24] cornet: the client receives that the server is OpenSSH debian etc. [02:24] neonfix: np [02:24] sebsebseb, ah, that would be a great resource [02:25] pitput: which? [02:25] losher: At least I feel like I got further :P [02:25] jenistin: you know that from the client debug log? That kills our firewall preventing packets going from server-to-client theory... [02:25] pitput: you can download the manual yeah [02:25] sebsebseb, both actually. [02:25] pitput: maybe, maybe not, depending on how computer literate you are [02:25] losher: Putty shows a very basic event log, yes [02:25] pitput: Virtualbox is very nice and graphical and so rather straight forward for most stuff [02:26] to have usb support in virtualbox you must download virtualbox puel and when you install you must run it as root [02:26] sebsebseb, I was like a windows guru, but I decided to finally switch to ubuntu because I didn't want to think twice about clicking a link because of viruses, trojans, etc [02:26] what is virus and trojan??? [02:26] hi [02:26] jenistin: can't you set the more advance options per http://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/0.60/htmldoc/Chapter4.html#config-ssh-kex-rekey ? [02:26] * D3f0 is away: Ausente por ahora [02:26] hi [02:26] pitput: well there are ways to make Windows pretty secure, and to the extent of where people don't really need anti virus or anti spyware, but yeah I know what you mean [02:27] fantazam, in windows OS [02:27] !away > D3f0 [02:27] D3f0, please see my private message [02:27] i never saw or had virus on my xubuntu machine :) [02:27] sebsebseb, yeah. I never installed antivirus or stuff like those [02:27] !virus [02:27] A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 [02:28] fantazam: try not to sound smug, ok? [02:28] hi [02:28] losher: Putty drops the connection after about 10 seconds, so repeating the key exchange hasn't seemed to do anything. The putty event log doesn't show any key exchange initiated [02:28] xtiger: hi [02:28] testing_ubi: hi [02:28] You guys were right, wireless is dificult [02:28] Keelan: did you get any luck? [02:28] * D3f0 is back. [02:28] i have windows installed on other gaming comp never had virus either,no anti virus software can protect against stupid users ;) [02:28] i swear, ubuntu saw me coming with ndis-wrapper and refused to install [02:28] jenistin: I think you have a fault putty. Can you reinstall it, or better yet, install a different version? [02:29] sebsebseb, installed the .deb but I can't find where Virtualbox is [02:29] fantazam: heh [02:29] pitput: ah yes this [02:29] sebsebseb: I couldn't get ubuntu to install next to windows, so i might try 8.10 because i know it will install [02:29] but i was using 9.04 [02:29] losher: I don't think putty has made a new version in years, and the two other clients on that computer (FileZilla and Aptana) have the same problem [02:29] Keelan: wireless works in 8.10? [02:30] Keelan: your one [02:30] * D3f0 is away: Ausente por ahora [02:30] losher: plus this putty can connect to other hosts, and this putty on another WinXP machine can connect to this host [02:30] sebsebseb: No, but i could at least get 8.10 to install next to windows [02:30] pitput: ok sometimes programs don't just add them selves to the menu [02:30] well, it might work, i just never got it to before [02:30] pitput: it will be under applications > system tools I think [02:31] pitput: when you sort it out [02:31] but i was having withdrawals from the internet so ill try again tomorrow [02:31] pitput: if not there already [02:31] Keelan: you coudn't install 9.04? [02:31] soryr to ask again, but can anyone tell me how i can easily install a driver for a logitech mouse? [02:31] how can I tell if apache2 is going to be run at start up [02:31] sebsebseb, it's not under applications >system tools [02:31] pitput: re installing the package or logging out of Ubuntu and back in again, and it should appear in the menu [02:31] djbpython: if you install it, it will run at startup by default [02:31] jenistin: I like dm-madman's suggestion. Install openssh for windows on the client... [02:32] sebsebseb: no, it said i could have dirt on my disc or a bad eye on my CD drive [02:32] calmbola: you shouldn't need to [02:32] jrib: but how can i tell if i sit at a system to double check? [02:32] i was also having trouble getting the partitioner to work [02:32] djbpython: sysv-rc-conf [02:32] losher: I would if I could. Unless you know of a way to run it off of a memory stick... [02:32] pitput: on the graphical deb installer, it should say re install package [02:32] pitput: and yes let it do the kernel modules agian [02:32] jrib, but i do [02:32] it's not working [02:33] calmbola: "not working"? It doesn't move AT ALL? [02:33] losher: er, by memory stick I mean USB flash drive [02:33] jrib: sysv can't be found? [02:33] djbpython: I don't know what "sysv" is, but if you want to use sysv-rc-conf install it first [02:33] sebsebseb, I cleared the download list. Is there a way to go to the temporary folder that I downloaded in? [02:33] Having problems with firefox consuming more and more CPU until it hangs completely... it's the default firefox with jaunty 3.0.13... all extensions disabled but the ubuntu one. [02:33] er it does now [02:33] great. [02:33] jrib: you just told me to use it? [02:33] calmbola: jrib's magic touch [02:33] lol thanks [02:33] pitput: uhmm not sure where that is /home/tmp or something like that maybe [02:33] djbpython: no I didn't. I told you to use "sysv-rc-conf", not "sysv" [02:33] what's the most suitable thing to use as a mousepad? [02:34] apparently it didn't like the lass [02:34] where can i download a video editor? [02:34] after you said it should work i used a book [02:34] calmbola: your desk :) [02:34] !software > mgv1 [02:34] mgv1, please see my private message [02:34] jenistin: stick a usb switchblade in that thing and hack the admin password [02:34] pitput: when you download stuff like that, it's better to download them to a proper folder, and then you can delete the deb/installer later if you want [02:34] sebsebseb, will keep that in mind from now on. [02:34] anyway, im off for now guys, thanks for the help sebsebseb [02:34] jenistin: sorry, dunno much about windows. Isn't there temp space available where you could put a program and run it? [02:34] oh well, book it is [02:34] pitput: log out and back in again, and it should be in your menu as I said before [02:34] thanks again [02:35] pitput: log out yes, not whole system re boot or anything like that [02:35] dm-madman: that would violate policies ;) [02:35] where can i download a video editor? i have't found any in the add or remove programs ubottu [02:35] jenistin: i won't tell anyone [02:35] sebsebseb, okay. brb [02:35] you can download kino or avidemux [02:35] jenistin: *my* lips are sealed... [02:36] losher: I'm not allowed to "install software" [02:36] jenistin: it's not software. It's a debugging tool... [02:36] pitput: it's there now? [02:36] sebsebseb, it's back! [02:36] jrib: ok, programmatically, how can I check if something is run at startup? [02:36] fantazam: does it deals with .mov too? [02:36] losher: lol, yeah, I'm sure they'll buy that [02:36] pitput: programs can also be opended with their exact proccess names from the terminal and then hitting enter [02:36] does anyone besides me have font size problems with firefox? my font sizes are really tiny [02:36] jenistin: boot it off a liveusb or something [02:37] djbpython: but I just told you.... What doesn't sysv-rc-conf do for you? [02:37] an existence of a file or entry in a conf file somewhere? [02:37] I just don't know where [02:37] Hey there! [02:37] dm-madman: changing OS is also forbidden [02:37] hi all [02:37] Little off-topic, but I did not find any answers anywhere else.... : I'm searching for a homepage I once found that provides "fake" surround sound for stereo speakers. It was just a few samples ("left front", "right rear" etc...) that played on click. Any ideas? [02:37] jenistin: you wouldn't change anything [02:37] losher: Do you know if PHP can interface with SSH in some way? [02:37] jenistin: it's not like we haven't tried a billion alternatives. Do you want this solved or not? [02:37] jrib: it prints out a lot of fluff [02:37] mgv: im not sure just download kino and avidemux i think they are fine [02:37] djbpython: read "man update-rc.d" if you seek a more difficult way... [02:37] pitput: ok for the dynamically expanding vm put 60GB or 100GB or some such, that's the size I would do [02:37] jenistin: you'd just be choosing not to use the hard drive [02:37] sebsebseb, should I register or no? [02:37] dm-madman: but running an OS other than the one installed is not allowed [02:37] How can I look and see what ports are open from a terminal? [02:38] pitput: yeah register, or it will probably come up again asking you to register [02:38] jenistin: the ends justify the means [02:38] djbpython: runlevel 2 is the default run level on ubuntu, just check if apache2 has an * in runlevel 2... [02:38] jenistin: wow, where do you work [02:38] jenistin: no idea on the PHP stuff... [02:38] jrib: suppose I am writing a python script, it seems silly to have to run and parse the output of that command [02:38] jenistin: can you use a windows live cd? that's not a different OS, right? [02:39] djbpython: why would you write such a thing...? [02:39] mgv: download avidemux gtk ver. if you need video and audio converter download ffmpeg and winff [02:39] jenistin: or use a live cd/usb of whatever exact OS you're using [02:39] jrib: does it matter? [02:39] xtiger: Interesting id, but I think that would be considered a different installation of it [02:39] jenistin: it's absolutely not an installation [02:39] jenistin: tell the computer nazis there that your putty is broken then [02:39] djbpython: yes, because there's probably a better way to accomplish what you are trying to accomplish. In any case the man page tells you the details you would need [02:39] let me ask another way. How do I and a script to be run at start up without using the gui? [02:39] add [02:39] djbpython: sysv-rc-conf. [02:40] hey all not used to IRC, so I hope it isn't rude to just pop in and ask a question... but today's firefox upgrade broke my Flash (I'm on 64-bit). wondering where to look and see if this is a known issue or if there's some kind of standard way to fix it... or how to undo upgrades? [02:40] dm-madman: then they'll say stop using putty :P [02:40] !startup > djbpython [02:40] djbpython, please see my private message [02:40] julie1: it's a very common issue.. FF and Flash [02:40] my font sizes in firefox are really, really tiny [02:40] djbpython: or you can place a symbolic 'by hand' from the appropriate rc.X directory to a script in /etc/init.d, if you hav root permission [02:40] julie1: yeah you just ask a question, there's even a factoid for this [02:40] julie1: it's actually encouraged to pop in and ask a question. Let me ask you one... what version flash? [02:40] !ask | julie1 [02:40] julie1: 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. :-) [02:41] jenistin: but it's the only terminal on your short list of approved software!!! [02:41] losher: aha! [02:41] sebsebseb, so now I just press the new button and I should be good to go? [02:41] use ftp instead putty :) [02:41] um... version whatever is installed by default [02:41] I've tried everything, but I just can't find a solution to my firefox problem [02:41] gtftp [02:41] pitput: yeah [02:41] losher: how do I know which is the appropriate rc.X? [02:41] * jrib leaves [02:41] dm-madman: I wish their policies made sense like that. [02:41] julie1: open firefox, type about:plugins and look for flash, will have the version listed [02:41] hello all....new to ubuntu and irc......just curious if anyone can pm me or put on here some more popular irc servers and some good and interesting utilities to work with jaunty [02:41] djbpython: the default is rc2.d unles you're doing something extra special [02:41] fantazam: I want to use SSH for more than file transfer, but thank you [02:42] hi everybody, how do i disable the touchpad of my laptop when an external mouse is connected? [02:42] Flash 10.0 r32 [02:42] sebsebseb, base size memory.. I only have 1 gb. what do you recommend? [02:42] hottoddy: good idea to browser synaptic and see what's available, when your new [02:42] (thanks, can't believe I didn't know that) [02:42] hottoddy: and try some stuff out as well if you want to try it [02:42] pitput: leave the base memory as default [02:42] jenistin: good luck, man. my suggestion is get a laptop and put that one under the desk [02:42] jenistin: security & convenience tend to pull in opposite directions. I suggest you get an exception for the purpose of debugging... [02:42] ftp have ssh :) [02:42] gftp [02:42] jenistin: of course bringing your own laptop is probably against policy as well [02:42] damn my keyboard sucks [02:42] How can I see what ports are open from terminal please? [02:43] julie1: hmm.. same one i have, perfect for 64bit [02:43] pitput: and the video memory leave that as default as well [02:43] !who | fantazam [02:43] fantazam: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [02:43] Hey guys [02:43] I need some help w/ preseeding [02:43] dm-madman: lol, I've actually done that already [02:43] julie1: yeah same here, on 9.04 64 bit [02:43] I know today's updates upgraded FF, and I *think* FF 3.5 (which was not the upgrade today so far as I know) b roke flash when I tried it [02:43] I'd like to boot using the Ubuntu cd and then just add my preseed file on the boot cli, but so far I can't... [02:43] y'alls didn't break today? [02:43] sebsebseb, for virtual hard disk, should I create new harddisk or use existing harddisk? [02:43] nope [02:43] losher: True, but since it's not business-purpose exactly, it wouldn't get through. Plus the CTO would have to sign it... [02:43] btw rcconf and bum bootup manger is better than sysv-rc ;) [02:43] pitput: create new hard disk [02:43] huh [02:44] julie1: i used firefox ppa daily build, then locked version, so no firefox updates for me [02:44] Is there anyway I can define my own preseed.cfg file that's hosted on an http server w/o having to re-burn a cd? (lame!!!) [02:44] jenistin: doesn't sound like you have much choice if you want to do any work at work there [02:44] jenistin: wish I knew what to suggest. I'm out of ideas *again*... [02:44] And I don't think that upgrade was from today, it wasn't in my update list [02:44] sebsebseb: What do you mean browser synaptic? [02:44] hottoddy: system > adminstration > synaptic package manager [02:44] hottoddy go to applications and at the bottom should be add/remove programs [02:44] !synapic | hottoddy [02:44] Sorry, I don't know anything about synapic [02:44] I assumed it was today 'cause it wasn't in the list last night and it was in the list today [02:44] jenistin: sorry about your luck though. windows support is basically nonexistent [02:44] hmm [02:45] oh, weird. cuz I did the same thing and no FF upgrade. oh well [02:45] sebsebseb, you said make expanding disk 60 gb. Should I do the same even though I don't have that much? [02:45] hottoddy: Zehava synatpic is better than add/remove [02:45] do y'all think the ubuntuzilla version would work with 64-bit flash? [02:45] how do i disable the touchpad of my laptop when an external mouse is connected? [02:45] !synaptic [02:45] synaptic is Ubuntu's Graphical Package Manager. For a good howto see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto [02:45] pitput: I already explained this to you, it doesn't matter if you don't have that much space on your partition [02:45] hottoddy: open terminal and type sudo synaptic [02:45] or sudo apt-get install synaptic [02:45] I can't remember when I installed it if flash worked on 3.5 [02:45] julie1: maybe. open FF and type "about:plugins" [02:45] oops [02:45] sebsebseb I personally just use apt-get so wasn't sure how that worked out. I figured it's all a gui front end for apt [02:45] pitput: it's just space the vm thinks it has, and can actsaully become in size, if there's enough on the partition, if not Virtualbox will even come up with a message saying it's running out of space for the virtual hard disk [02:45] How do I break out of the retarded isolinux gui so that I can define my own boot arguments on the ubuntu 9.04 cd? [02:45] oh no it's not installed, I'll have to reinstall it [02:46] sebsebseb: I know what synaptic is.....i thought you were saying there was a browser synaptic and I got confused. Thank you for your help. [02:46] dm-madman: losher: cornet: thank you for all of your help, I really appreciate it. Got to go! [02:46] but... going to do.. [02:46] are you installing it from Synaptic julie1? [02:46] no, terminal... didn't know ubuntuzilla worked in synaptic [02:46] jenistin: see you tomorrow for the next instalment... [02:46] ? [02:46] pitput: XP SP3 will be like 5GB for the virtual hard disk, and that's all, unless you put on quite a few more big files [02:46] Has anyone here worked with preseeding? [02:46] pitput: quite a few big files or whatever [02:46] Does anyone here even know what that means? [02:47] or is this just desktop support? [02:47] Is there a command or install I can put in to be able to see what ports I have open on my box from a terminal? [02:47] is any way of playing hd dvd and blue ray movies in ubuntu i found solution for burrning it-(nero linux) [02:47] julie1: you're right, i thoguht you were talking about reinstalling flash === jason is now known as Guest57913 [02:47] sry [02:47] did any one experience that glActiveTexture is missing on NVIDIA 185.18.36 driver? [02:48] pitput: 60GB 100GB 2TB if you want even === Guest57913 is now known as _Loki [02:48] pitput: what size have you put? [02:48] robd: I know what it means, but I'm not qualified to help. But I'd say it's probably too technical an issue for this list, where we tend to get more newbie style questions... [02:48] sebsebseb, I just put 60 gb. lol [02:48] kd8JHC: I could try that... I'm just kind of gunshy 'cause flash in 64 bit seems sooo breakable, and I don't always know enoguh to be able to fix it :-\ === mirco_ is now known as mirco [02:48] pitput: ok [02:48] julie1: well for what it's worth, FF + Flash is extremely stable on my 64bit system [02:49] pitput: What kind of XP CD you got? It might not like an OEM version in Virtualbox. [02:49] are you running 64-bit FF or 32-bit? [02:49] I don't remember which is the default... [02:49] robd: might have better luck on #debian [02:49] yeah FF and Flash work great here too [02:49] 64 bit all the way [02:49] sebsebseb, umm, windows xp with sp2 [02:50] pitput: booted that up in there yet? [02:50] julie1: type: lsb_release -a [02:50] losher: 9.04, but I knew that ;-) [02:51] sebsebseb, yeah, it's working [02:51] julie1: doesn't mention 64 bit? What about uname -a ? [02:51] "no LSB modules are available", if it was supposed to say something else [02:51] sebsebseb, it's at the installation [02:51] pitput: NTFS quick when you install it by the way [02:51] Linux julie-desktop 2.6.28-15-generic #49-Ubuntu SMP Tue Aug 18 19:25:34 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux [02:51] pitput: don't need the other one, and it's quicker if you do quick [02:51] sebsebseb, hence the name? haha [02:51] I installed noip2 on Ubuntu 8.04. But I need to reconfigure it. Does anybody know?? xD [02:51] pitput: and right ctrl to switch between the vm and the host as it says [02:52] julie1: mine says that too... See that x86_64 ? You're running 64 bit... [02:52] is anybody using nvidias 185.18.36 driver? [02:52] pitput: that can even be changed to another button in the settings if you really want [02:52] losher: does that mean 64-bit FF too? [02:52] sebsebseb, i think I'll just stick with right ctrl [02:52] julie1: you probably have 64bit Flash [02:52] julie1: erm, dunno. What does ' [02:52] julie1: since you got a 64bit OS [02:52] can anyone help me please? i've installed gsynaptics for my touchpad but when i try to run it, i get this error: "GSynaptics couldn't initialize. [02:52] You have to set 'SHMConfig' 'true' in xorg.conf or XF86Config to use GSynaptics", and i don't know what to do next [02:52] julie1: erm, dunno. What does 'about' in firefox say? [02:53] aha this is interesting... ubuntuzilla installer finished, reopened FF (the ubuntuzilla version) and it says "You should update Adobe Flash Player right now. Firefox is up to date, but your current version of Flash Player can cause security and stability issues. Please install the free update as soon as possible." [02:53] pitput: and if sound isn't on by default for whatever reason, that can be set up in the vm settings, as well as other things, such as the USB [02:53] julie1: Where did you install flash? synaptic or dl from Adobe [02:54] losher: the version ubuntu just installed says 64 bit in about [02:54] sebsebseb, internet would still be available through nat right? [02:54] julie1: ok... [02:54] kd8JHC: I honestly don't remember... I know I've done both before, but I think the latest install (did clean install of jaunty) was from adobe [02:54] pitput: I think so, if not you can probably set up [02:54] anyway I'm going to try the flash upgrade FF is suggesting now [02:54] pitput: also you should treat this vm like you would psyical Windows install [02:55] pitput: here's a tip use a limited account all the time, unless you really need admin say to install a new program [02:55] julie1: yeah let us know if it worked [02:55] hey all [02:55] how to use ubuntu as a nat router that can allocate a specific bandwidth to a client pc? [02:55] sebsebseb, what happens if the virtual machine gets infected with a virus or other malicious items? Just delete and reinstall right? [02:55] eek it sent me to the i386 version apparently, gonna take me another minute to find the 64 bit... [02:56] pitput: yep, or use a copy of a clean vm file [02:56] ok, whenever i try to access my home folder in nauitlus it creates a seg fault, whats going on [02:56] pitput: you can copy a clean virtual hard disk image, really easilly, like a normal file [02:56] pitput: however it should also be rather quick to install a clean install, just like the install your doing now, that shoudn't take that long to do [02:57] also happens when i open gedit [02:57] ok, the .so goes in home/.mozilla/plugins, right? [02:57] julie1: I think so [02:57] is configuring spdif for audio with jaunty still a chore? i see lots of hits for older discussions ingoogling [02:57] im checking that right now julie [02:57] can anyone help me please? i've installed gsynaptics for my touchpad but when i try to run it, i get this error: "GSynaptics couldn't initialize. You have to set 'SHMConfig' 'true' in xorg.conf or XF86Config to use GSynaptics", and i don't know what to do next [02:57] rendering both unusable [02:58] aha I tried it [02:58] home/~/.mozilla/plugins [02:58] and it worked! [02:58] thank you kd8JHC and everyone else!!!! [02:58] nice [02:58] no problem [02:58] hi, can anyone help me with sshd? [02:58] come back soon [02:58] don't know why it broke, but it's good for now at any rate! :-D [02:59] mimiloon: in /etc/X11 there should be a file called xorg.conf find the line that says SHMConfig and change the false on that line to true [02:59] kd8JHC: home/~/ doesn't exist, it'd be ~/ [02:59] pitput: oh yeah and web browseing, I suggest you do that in Firefox in Ubuntu, rather than in your vm, so that you hopefuly contribute in some way, to Firefox Linux market share :) [02:59] I will! I wish I knew more and could help instead of just asking questions :) [02:59] bye all :) [02:59] pitput: well both market shares are improtant :) [02:59] Ben64: i was using ~ to stand for username [02:59] sorry [02:59] pitput: Linux and Firefox [02:59] sebsebseb, the two most important out there [02:59] pitput: yep [03:00] anyone know why accessing my home in nautilus will cause a segmentation fault? FYI, it only happens in nautilus, no other file browser [03:00] pitput: and then Office Suites like Open Office, and then email clients such as Evolution and Thunderbird I guess [03:00] more linux share = more linux games = more linux share = ............. [windows is dead] [03:00] is there any other channels on this server [03:00] i keep getting a connection times out when trying to connect to a server from a ubuntu desktop [03:00] hottoddy: of course [03:01] hottoddy: type /list [03:01] Korlis: I was going to suggest that [03:01] Ben64: well pretty much, but there are other important types of apps, that many people are doing only or mainly in Windows at the moment [03:01] anyone with knowledge of ssh, sshd? set up? [03:01] did any one experience that glActiveTexture is missing on NVIDIA 185.18.36 driver? [03:01] Korlis: there's no such word in the file [03:01] Ben64: wel games aren't important, but they are for OS market share [03:02] need help installin aircrack 1.0 final thru terminal?????????? [03:02] I saw a website the other day that looked like synaptic and you could install programs directly from within firefox. I can't remember what the site was called and I can't google it. Anyone know what I'm talking about? [03:02] sebsebseb: but gamers control the entire personal computer development [03:02] how do i remove the login screen on startup? [03:02] Ben64: ,but the more Windows stuff that works well in Wine the better, as well as in a Windows virtual machine which is nearly everything :) [03:02] virtual machines suck, requires you to buy windows still [03:02] lol [03:03] sebsebseb, yup, the install is going to take awhile nontheless [03:03] Ben64: it doesn't REQUIRE you to, though it is more ethical to buy a copy [03:03] i know tons of people who would use linux only, if it weren't for the game compatibility issues [03:03] pitput: 15 minutes maybe or 20 [03:03] pitput: normalley with 1GB RAM, XP installs pretty quickly in Virtualbox [03:03] then software developers would be required to make everything compatible with linux, or lose money [03:03] ben64: windows is no1 for gaming becouse dirext x ;) [03:03] pitput: about 20 I guess yeah [03:04] fantazam: opengl [03:04] fantazam: what? direct x isn't anything awesome [03:04] Ben64: well and hardware issues [03:04] Ben64: average computer users want it all to work, that's wireless, sound, all of it [03:04] fantazam: closed environments can do that [03:04] Ben64: and they won't configure [03:04] !netsplit [03:04] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [03:04] sebsebseb, would I need the disk everytime I want to boot windows xp ? [03:04] sebner: yep, but the gamers have the ability to tip the scales, imo [03:04] sebsebseb: ubuntu can do this now, problem is hardware variance [03:04] pitput: no [03:04] you don't need to do much configuration with Ubuntu [03:05] pitput: ,because you install it in the virtual hard disk image that you made [03:05] game developers are not some nerds that making game for free just to show up,they live at making and selling games [03:05] argh my screen is exploding [03:05] what's going on? lol [03:05] !netsplit [03:05] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [03:05] lol === robd is now known as Guest2188 [03:06] I think most ubuntu developers develop for ubuntu as a hobbie [03:06] oh I found it www.appnr.com [03:06] fantazam: people will pay for good games [03:06] need help with sshd. can nayone help? [03:06] anyone [03:06] hey, i have a desktop i just took away the monitor from, and when i restarted its stuck in 640x480. im looking to get it set by default to 1280x800 without any type of monitor present. any help? [03:06] !ask | JTrunner [03:06] JTrunner: 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. :-) [03:06] JTrunner: sshd works for me. what is happening? [03:06] seidos: yeah and Ubuntu isn't the only distro [03:06] !netsplit [03:06] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [03:06] can i borrow someone's computer for some rendering? my cpu is slow.. [03:07] seidos, long story I got a connection timed out error message [03:07] Ben64: that's not really on-topic here [03:07] :( [03:07] can i view my latest copy pastes in ubuntu, if so, how [03:07] sebsebseb: I know. What's your point? The distros benefit each other. [03:07] JTrunner: are you on the server now? [03:07] seidos: distros aren't all fully compatible with each other, but that's off topic here [03:08] JTrunner: that doesn't sound like a problem to me. is it happening while you're working? [03:08] !ot | seidos [03:08] seidos, please see my private message [03:08] jrib, no. it's at work. I'm trying to set up a ubuntu server. checked the sshd_configure files, made sure ports are open [03:08] JTrunner: well the first step would be to see if you can "ssh localhost" on the server [03:09] jrib, it refused [03:09] game developers would probably make and sell games for linux..but there is problem how can you make one game that is compactibile whit all pther 100 000 distribution :) [03:09] JTrunner: what was the exact output? === mactimes_ is now known as mactimes [03:09] sell them as virtual machines [03:09] lol [03:09] help i can't use nautilus [03:09] jrib, the message was that the connection was refused [03:09] damn this flooding is anoying [03:10] JTrunner: did you install openssh-server? [03:10] jrib, i did istall [03:10] fantazam: this is offtopic, but you could just open source the OS compatibility layers [03:10] JTrunner: did you check that sshd was running? [03:10] JTrunner: why on earth would you choose Ubuntu for a server platform? [03:10] jrib, yes [03:10] Ubuntu is a fine server [03:10] i prefer DEbian for servers [03:10] yeah, i second that [03:11] danbhfive: i dont wana install anything that is point linux developers must inculde all that things [03:11] beats fedora at least [03:11] I was reluctant to say it here, but really... [03:11] I'm trying to make an OpenSSH connection to my new Ubuntu Server and it is refusing me. Do I need to configure something?? [03:11] hi [03:11] n-iCe: hi [03:11] MeXTuX: yes, open the port 22 [03:11] JTrunner: that shouldn't be the case on a default install. If you install the openssh-server package, you should be able to "ssh localhost" immediately afterwards [03:11] n-iCe: I didn't have to open port 22 on my server [03:11] jrib, that's what I thought [03:11] n-iCe: but someone else set it up for me [03:12] seidos: you have them open already I guess. [03:12] you wouldn't have to open 22 to get in from your internal LAN [03:12] doesn't the default ubuntu-server install include sshd? [03:12] JTrunner: is there anything not default about your install? [03:12] only if you want in from outside [03:12] seidos: that's why [03:12] i know ubuntu-desktop doesn't [03:12] Ben64: Not always [03:12] Does Ubuntu server have an activated firewall by default??? [03:12] n-iCe: that's true because I can't ssh to this laptop [03:12] pitput: How's it going? [03:12] jrib, no [03:12] MeXTuX: sure, but no rules... [03:12] !adobe [03:12] Sorry, I don't know anything about adobe [03:12] MeXTuX: your router has, are you using Prodigy Infinitum? [03:12] !flash | scott_ino2 [03:12] scott_ino2: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [03:12] JTrunner: you don't have access to the server now, correct? [03:12] no [03:12] but thanks [03:12] !lubuntu [03:12] Sorry, I don't know anything about lubuntu [03:13] jrib, no [03:13] mextux: ufw firewall is not enable by default [03:13] is there a command to update package keys? [03:13] sebsebseb, it's still installing. 19 minutes approximately [03:13] !ubuntu | Korlis [03:13] Korlis: Ubuntu is a complete Linux-based operating system, freely available with both community and professional support. It is developed by a large community and we invite you to participate too! - Also see http://www.ubuntu.com [03:13] sebsebseb: lubuntu was not a misspelling [03:13] pitput: oh [03:13] Korlis: no? [03:13] it shows that it is listening on the port [03:14] sebsebseb: lubuntu is the officially sacntioned project from the lxde team to have a version of ubuntu with lxde installed by default [03:14] mextux: install gufw simple gui for ufw firewall [03:14] Korlis: oh [03:14] sebsebseb, yeah, my computer is always below expectations [03:15] I tried lxde on my netbook, I kinda liked it [03:15] pitput: RAM is one thing, but of course the VM will also use your proccessor [03:15] its fast, that's for sure [03:15] yeah, it's flies [03:15] even on a scrawny netbook [03:15] anyone one out there who thinks they can solve a simple font problem of mine? ;) [03:15] xtiger: go [03:16] Ok. One more question: I installed noip2 (apt-get install noip2) and want to know if it is going to start by default. Or do I need to setup something ?? Excuse for my poor english :) [03:16] kd8JHC: my fonts in firefox are tiny [03:16] sebsebseb: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu [03:16] Korlis: ok [03:16] kd8JHC: firefox is the only application with the problem [03:16] xtiger: probably reduced the font size [03:16] Korlis: thanks I guess [03:16] try control + [03:16] im here to educate ;-) [03:16] xangua: If I adjust the font size in firefox, then it messes up webpages [03:17] ¿¿ [03:17] kd8JHC: specifically, I'm referring to the "minimum font size" [03:17] what is it set to? [03:17] Korlis: well makes sense, already Ubuntu/Gnome, Kubuntu/KDE, and Xubuntu/XFCE [03:17] kd8JHC: I can zoom, and that works, but I would have to do that on every page I go to [03:17] Korlis: LXDE is pretty popular as well [03:17] for sshd, do i need to specify in the ip address of the server? [03:17] if netstat doesn't show a process or port does that mean that the port is not open?? [03:17] kd8JHC: in order to get most web pages to work properly, I have to allow the webpages to set their own font sizes [03:17] I know the process is running I can ps aux | grep it and it's there [03:17] go to Edit | Preferences and chage the default font size back to 16 (which is the default) [03:17] i meant"do i need to specify the ip address of the server? [03:17] sebsebseb: does he want Gubuntu/Gnome ? :) [03:17] Korlis: and no not been on that link just yet [03:18] kd8JHC: my default font size is 18 [03:18] they should just offer an install cd that lets you choose the DE and downloads the approprate packages based on your choice rather than make 5 diff distros [03:18] Does anyone know of any programs for ubuntu that let you preview a library of desktop themes and then you can download and install the ones you want? Kind of like a theme download manager / repository. [03:18] shane2peru: I think there is a Gubuntu or something like that hmm [03:18] shane2peru: free software only version [03:18] Is there non Lubuntu/LXDE? :D [03:18] shane2peru: yeah there's something [03:18] sebsebseb: lol, that is too funny [03:18] What's the default font face? [03:18] kd8JHC: here's a screenshot: http://i26.tinypic.com/29xay54.jpg [03:18] kd8JHC: the default font face is liberation [03:18] sebsebseb: I guess it fits, after seeing Kubuntu, and Xubuntu [03:19] shane2peru: I think Canonical have a version maybe not, well there's Gnewsense based on Ubuntu which is free software only [03:19] shane2peru: from The Free Software Foundation [03:19] is there any other options as far as apps to manage minamized apps [03:19] Are you wanting to change the font size of the content, or what [03:19] sebsebseb: they have Gobuntu [03:19] sebsebseb: hmm, interesting. [03:19] kd8JHC: yes--notice that the font size of the tabs is fine [03:19] shane2peru: ok it's Goubuntu thanks Korlis [03:19] it looks fine to me [03:19] but gobuntu is being taken down [03:19] hello [03:19] Korlis: taken down as in getting rid of it? [03:19] the tab font looks HUGE to me [03:20] Korlis, sebsebseb: gobuntu is deprecated, use gNewSense as a recommended alternative [03:20] yeah, now they'll just have an option on install to use just free software [03:20] it's so big the tab title can't show fully [03:20] kd8JHC: trust me it's tiny. The tab fonts are relatively small on my monitor, so just try to compare that mentally with the font size [03:20] Korlis, sebsebseb: they actually already do that, under advanced options [03:20] Flannel: i know === Defcon is now known as Guest82806 [03:20] i would reset the default font to serif or something [03:20] and make sure you have the ms tt core fonts installed [03:21] do you? [03:21] kd8JHC: already tried it (that's what it was at originally) [03:21] kd8JHC: tried that too [03:21] Korlis Flannel do what? and that's interesting if Canonical themselves recommend GNewSense as an alternative to Gobuntu [03:21] kd8JHC: liberation is actually a redhat imitation of mstt core fonts [03:21] sebsebseb: I think it was just a name change [03:21] greetings #ubuntu [03:21] they do actually [03:21] anyone ever use ebox? [03:21] i would love E17 if it ever got stable [03:22] danbhfive: I think GNewSense was first? [03:22] My laptop suddenly refuses to recognize wireless signals, anyone had get the same sudden problem? [03:22] noob: do an "ifconfig wlan0 down" then an "ifconfig wlan0 up" [03:22] well xtiger you could do a complete uninstallation of FF and reinstall [03:23] noob: I'm assuming wlan0 is your wireless device (do "iwconfig" to see your actual wireless device) [03:23] xtiger: I'll sound stupid, but I'm on vista right now [03:23] sebsebseb, one minute more [03:23] kd8JHC: I tried downloading 3.5, but the same thing [03:23] pitput: good [03:23] noob: so vista has the problem? [03:23] pitput: well and hopefuly it boots up without problems [03:23] oh no, a windows user, attack! [03:23] sebsebseb: yeah, you are correct, nvm [03:23] im just kidding btw [03:23] xtiger: no, neither ubuntu 9.04 or vista will recognize wifi [03:23] noob: hit function+f2 [03:24] noob: that should turn on wireless. Or you may have another way to enable the wireless card, like a switch [03:24] ok xtiger, what about nosquint? [03:24] https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2592 [03:24] give that a try [03:24] some laptops also have a button to turn wireless on and off [03:24] danbhfive: ok [03:24] i want to install the latest ATI drivers from my graphics card from AMD's site and I see this instruction: "32 bit packages must be installed for 64-bit linux drivers to install or work" which 32 bit packages are they referring to?? [03:24] panfist: hmm latest ATI drivers with Ubuntu 9.04, this sounds bad [03:25] panfist: you are on 9.04? [03:25] kd8JHC: that may well work--thanks for the recommmendation [03:25] yes 9,04 [03:25] no prob [03:25] hey can someone help me with a quick question [03:25] im using backtrack and i just got a new alfa wireless card external usb and i cantt get it to show up when i do iwconfig [03:25] yes wlan0 is what i use built into the laptop [03:25] kd8JHC: actually, I was looking for an about:config setting to increase the default zoom, but couldn't find one [03:25] i did turn it off but i doesnt show the wireless card [03:25] my 3d performance is absolute crap and video playback has like constant screen tearing [03:25] i ahd it work once then not again after reboot it was interface ra0 [03:25] may I know how do you connect to mirc chat and join this chat room from ubuntu? [03:25] im using backtrack that is built off ubuntu [03:25] panfist: Why the very latest? usaully the very latest graphics card drivers, go bad for people on Ubuntu, whatever card they have [03:25] hey yall. I have a couple of questions. You got a little time? [03:25] Is there an easy way to search in a channel's past messages in irssi? [03:25] intal 5100 abgn can't work well in ubuntu ? [03:25] panfist: also I have heard something about ATI and then people having to use 8.04 for that, that might have been the latest drivers [03:26] panfist: heard as in read in here [03:26] how can i tell what verion i have [03:26] may I know how do you connect to mirc chat and join this chat room from ubuntu? I'm on windows vista now just to check this [03:26] if there is any vertical motion in a video file i see two clear distinct lines where it's displaying alternate frames [03:26] ahh [03:26] blackotaku: this is IRC, we have time [03:26] can somebody help me? [03:26] !version | Guest82806 [03:26] Guest82806: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy » [03:26] xtiger - also make sure you hit "Reset zoom" [03:26] sebsebseb it's on the download page [03:26] !ask | moxiac [03:26] moxiac: 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. :-) [03:26] the newest drivers were released august 2009 on the amd's site [03:26] panfist: also whatever the card, it's normalely best to "only" install drivers for it from the Ubuntu repo [03:26] control + zero [03:26] panfist: otherwise expect problems [03:27] ubuntu 8.10 [03:27] sebsebseb well if that's the case then this performance is unacceptable. it's unacceptable as a media player because video quality is crap and 3d performance is crap [03:27] is there a camand to start a wireless usb card manualy [03:27] panfist: I see ok [03:27] moxiac: i dont know if mirc exists for linux, try something like Quassel, or use the default xchat [03:27] sebsebseb, it's working perfectly! [03:27] panfist: you probably got the same issue, that this other person had [03:27] panfist: and they were told to use 8.04 to use their card properly [03:28] !ati | panfist [03:28] panfist: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [03:28] moxiac: use Pidgin for irc [03:28] bet you already have it installed [03:28] i'm using software rendering because at least that way media files play ok, except that there isn't enough CPU for 720p/h264 anymore, and i cant use 3d [03:28] but in backtrack forums i read people are using this but cant find a away to use it [03:28] panfist: feel free to try the ATI drivers from their site if you want in 9.04, but if you get problems with xorg as result, it's actsaully ATI's fault [03:28] Is there any tool for detecting language of a text in Ubuntu/Linux? I mean to find out in what language a text is written? [03:28] i see [03:28] Anyone know if scp is logged anywhere .. ubuntu server. [03:29] what issue did the other person have? [03:29] panfist: something similar to what you want to do I think [03:29] panfist: 9.04 being bad for their ATI card [03:29] Guest82806: do an iwconfig to see the name of the new usb device [03:29] Evelina not that I know of. You could look at the hex code for unicode symbols from a certain language, but that would probably give a lot of false positives for characters used in multiple languages [03:29] lalallalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalala [03:29] 6E7-F57F-9F5E-F9AC-F44B [2] Security mode:open [03:29] Power Management:off [03:29] Link Quality=87/100 Signal level:-47 dBm Noise level=-82 dBm [03:29] Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 [03:29] Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0 [03:30] panfist: someone suggested 8.04, I was like what about 8.10, but nope even 8.10 will have the issue, because it has an xorg that ATI don't like [03:30] Guest82806: use pastebin if you want to paste code [03:30] how do i turn power management on [03:30] panfist: or whatever [03:30] i see [03:30] well im gonna get goin [03:30] see you all later [03:30] panfist: yeah 8.04 and 8.10/9.04 have rather differnet versions of xorg [03:30] sebsebseb, the usb option is greyed out in the virtual machine [03:30] what if the driver isn't the problem...could it be two seperate problems effecting media rendering and 3d rendering? [03:30] Guest82806: don't worry about power management [03:30] Ok. I installed Compiz Fusion and set up the Desktop Cube. I also set up a sky dome for it. However, the skydome doesn't load on startup (theres a blank background everytime I reboot). What should I do? [03:30] pitput: and after you added filters or whatever in the vm settings? [03:30] how is that ATI's fault? === prince_j1mmys is now known as prince_jammys [03:31] it's default vm settings sebsebseb [03:31] that sists right under wlan0 [03:31] panfist: ,because most hardware manufactures do not support Linux properly [03:31] Guest82806: you should see a wlanX device corresponding to your USB car [03:31] so i asume thats the usb one === mike is now known as Guest64029 [03:31] panfist: as a result, if you do try the ATI drivers, and get problems with xorg, well that confirms it [03:31] Guest82806: do you have a wlan0 and a wlan1? [03:31] nothing [03:31] no just the one [03:31] Chegger: Ok, I need some kind of tool to recognize the language of a text. [03:31] Guest82806: does the laptop have a wireless card itself? [03:31] could it be drivers [03:32] yes [03:32] Chegger: Maybe it's possible to match the words against dictioneries? [03:32] intell 5100 [03:32] Guest82806: does it work in windows? [03:32] Evelina I could write one for you for a small fee [03:32] yes in windows i turn off wireless and the card takes over [03:32] panfist: also xorg can only do so much, it really can't do certain things or not easilly, because of the reverse enginging, because manufactures have closed source drivers for their cards [03:32] when pluged ion [03:32] in [03:32] Guest82806: it could be the drivers [03:32] so it works flawlessly in one version of xorg (maybe) but not another...? wouldn't ati want to mention that on their website if it was a big issue? xorg is a pretty ubiquitous program [03:32] panfist: enginering above [03:32] now i have drivers on a cd but i dont know how to install the package [03:32] sebsebseb, what kind of filters do I need to apply? [03:33] Guest82806: just plug the cd in and read the README [03:33] will it have the commands [03:33] ? [03:33] Guest82806: probably [03:33] im a noob [03:33] Chegger: Well, I'll try to find a free solution first of all. I donät think it would be that difficult. Google has a service that recognize language of a text, but I wanted to have my own tool. [03:33] Guest82806: that's ok. everyone's a noob to someone else [03:33] panfist: ATI or any other company that makes graphics card are unlikely to mention on their website that Ubuntu 9.04 has isues with their card, as far as I know not even Intel does it, and oh yes there are quite a few Intel graphic card issues with 9.04 [03:34] but the issue isn't with ubuntu it's with xorg [03:34] everyone who uses linux including enterprise is likely using xorg [03:34] panfist: in fact truth is a lot of hardware manufactures and software companies, don't care that much about Desktop Linux right now, because they think it doesn't have enough market share yet [03:34] one sec look at the read me [03:34] panfist: Ubuntu is the one that would suffer possible reputation damage in the eyes of the public [03:34] panfist: Linux tends to have great hardware support, yes Linux as in the kernel, but most of that support has also been reverse enginered [03:34] yes but what about companies like intel, cisco, sun, etc that have thousands of desktop employees running linux [03:35] Evelina ok. If you decide you want one built PM me [03:35] 1> $tar -xvzf RT2870_Linux_STA_Drv_x.x.x.x.tar.gz [03:35] go to "./RT2870_Linux_STA_Drv_x.x.x.x/" directory. [03:35] panfist: and they are also likely to be using hardware, which they know works properly with Linux [03:35] so are there open source drivers that are happier with the current kernel/xorg [03:35] Evelina wouldn't take more than a day or two and a couple hundred dollars [03:35] 2> prepare the firmware (bin file) and the profile (dat file).

[03:35] so just cut the things into the konsole for commands [03:36] anyone in here ever use fluxbox [03:36] or hackbox [03:36] panfist: it's up to you if you want to try the ATI drivers from there site, but if you get problems as a result, just remember it's not Linux/Ubuntu/xorgs fault [03:36] Guest82806: does the README apply to ubuntu specifically? [03:37] linux kernel 2.4 and 2.6 series. [03:37] Tested in Redhat 7.3 or later. [03:37] Guest82806: If the instructions are for RedHat, they might not carry over exactly to ubuntu [03:37] I have 8.10, can I just upgrade without losing any data which I've saved? [03:37] Guest82806: for example, there may not be an /etc/wireless [03:37] panfist: as far as I know ATI have no open source drivers, and if they did, that would be great === ksmurf_ is now known as help [03:37] but are those instructions copy and pastable into konsole [03:38] i could have swore i read about an open source ati driver project [03:38] to try and install them [03:38] panfist: companies tend to keep their hardware specs and that, rather closed [03:38] Guest82806: yes they are copy and pasteable into konsole, but they may not work on ubuntu === help is now known as Guest45269 [03:38] ok well its worth a shot [03:38] give me a sec [03:38] panfist: if so is the open source project just the community, or did ATI them selves contribute, if it's the second :) if not reverse enginered driver [03:39] Ok. I installed Compiz Fusion and set up the Desktop Cube. I also set up a sky dome for it. However, the skydome doesn't load on startup (theres a blank background everytime I reboot). What should I do?

[03:56] odinsbane: You can make a bash program. Or maybe you can find an applet that does that for GNOME. [03:56] xtiger: messaged yourself :D [03:56] xtiger: I can rule out hardware failure, as dell tech support had me run a hardware check [03:56] sebsebseb: whoops [03:56] xtiger: no, it doesn't work on either OS [03:57] Guest007: I'd be down with the bash program, but I think the computer wll fall asleep. [03:57] noob: did you locate your wireless switch? (or try hiting Fn+F2) [03:57] odinsbane: Check out http://alarm-clock.pl [03:57] xtiger: I am using wicd on ubuntu because I thought it might be network manage at first, but to no avail [03:57] sebsebseb: that annoying bot [03:57] !bot | dm-madman [03:57] dm-madman: Hi!

When the computer is idle, the screensaver may come up, but all the programs will still be running [03:57] can anyone reproduce this? `rmdir ~/Desktop` & firefox -> organize bookmarks -> import and backup -> restore -> choose file -> ~/Desktop is created? [03:57] besides users .bash_history files, are commands kept logged elsewhere. Or more specificly what has to be in place for logging of file modifications ex. file creation/copies etc. [03:57] xtiger: fn f2 does nothing, I have a button on the underside of my laptop, but I do not know what it does [03:58] So I have an md array where the power cable to two of the drives flaked and they both disappeared for awhile. The array kicked itself into read-only mode when that happened, but I can't convince it that they're fine and re-add them. [03:58] noob: do you have an LED on your laptop for wireless that lights up when wireless is working? [03:58] odinsbane: A computer can't wake you up when it is sleeping :P [03:58] Any ideas? I had this same thing happen a couple weeks ago and I fixed it, but i can't find the page that had the commands i used to do so. [03:58] did the guy with the compiz problem get it working? [03:58] Evelina it's a term of endearment, like "dude" or "man" [03:58] xtiger: yes. it is unlit =( [03:58] Guest007: a windows box can. [03:58] Hi all [03:58] noob: when you hit fn+f2 does the light turn on?

[03:59] e_e [03:59] odinsbane: Well if you install an alarm, it should work as long as the computer is running. I would actually suggest making a Bash script since without a GUI running (and many other programs) it will conserve energy. [03:59] xtiger: are you sure his is Fn f2? [04:00] xtiger: yes, but a hardware test yielded no results [04:00] noob: did you dell person you called tell you a button press or button to turn on/off wireless?

[04:10] sorry [04:11] my internet cut out [04:11] i mean instead of repeating the same image it would stretch the desktop to use both monitors to display the same picture [04:11] so like one monitor but with two [04:11] ihave: not possible with a splitter [04:11] ihave: No, you will need a graphics card with dual monitor support.

[04:31] yes [04:32] Why does my sound not work anymore when I install Ubuntu? [04:32] herenbdy_: With that same way.

[04:34] ninabeena: first of all how did you end up with Ubuntu? [04:34] Stevethepirate: Try asking in #mysql. Maybe they can give you better advise.

[04:36] you know it sebsebseb [04:37] lstarnes: should I just configure eth0 via /etc/network/interfaces and disable NetworkManager? [04:37] pitput: ok vboxusers group your probably already in that, let's find out [04:37] steven_: Does the sound work? Also, make sure it's not muted. :) [04:37] jwfoxjr: I don't think networkmanager has an effect on it [04:37] pitput: on the top right, where it says your name right click and users and groups [04:37] jwfoxjr: check your ufw/iptables rules [04:37] pitput: unlock it with your password, and see what groups your in [04:37] jwfoxjr: and make sure that sshd is running [04:38] lstarnes: not running any firewall on it - like I said, sshd was running, I was ssh'd into it... [04:38] pitput: my install is a bit different since... nevermind, but yeah it's something like that [04:38] jwfoxjr: but you are currently unable to do so? [04:38] sebsebseb, i'm in root and home [04:38] pitput: is there also a vboxusers group listed? [04:38] sebsebseb, no [04:39] lstarnes: yep - that's right....maybe I should have used the server version instead of desktop - since it's going to be my FOG server [04:39] pitput: are there any other groups listed? [04:39] Cannot hear sound at all. Not muted [04:39] jwfoxjr: is sshd running now? [04:39] steven_: Okay your sound can maybe be fixed by editing the file /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base and appending 'options snd-hda-intel model=dell' [04:39] lstarnes: I can't even ping the box - that's what's telling me networking isn't up yet... [04:39] sebsebseb, when i go to manage groups, it's there but greyed out [04:39] steven_: And then you would I think restart your computer. [04:40] jwfoxjr: did you reboot it remotely? [04:40] pitput: and you put in the password [04:40] sebsebseb, i didnt put in a password and theres no option for that [04:40] How do I edit the file? I have no idea how to even get to that, much less edit it [04:40] lstarnes: yes - after I added my updates. [04:41] I wanted to try and help ninabeena, but looks like she/he has left oh well, probably also the type of person that will find Ubuntu pretty difficult, unless someone helps them out with it rather properly [04:41] jwfoxjr: it is possible that it may not have fully rebooted [04:41] lstarnes: none of the other services are reachable - like the web server or the mysql server [04:41] sebsebseb, wait! i see it now [04:41] jwfoxjr: or networking isn't working [04:41] steven_: Press Alt+F2 and enter 'gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base' [04:41] jwfoxjr: if it doesn't use a static IP, its IP address may have changed [04:41] steven_: Then you would proceed to enter your password. [04:42] steven_: A window will come up similar to Notepad where you can then add that line. [04:42] lstarnes: doubtful that it didn't reboot properly - like I said I've had this problem with 9.04 desktop before with my home machine, and set up auto-login to resolv the issue... [04:42] lstarnes: nobody seems to know if on Desktop if NetworkManager controls the network stack or not [04:42] jwfoxjr: it has some control [04:42] steven_: If model=dell doesn't work after you restart and check for volumes and whether it is muted, you can replace it with model=ref [04:42] lstarnes: is a static IP - first thing I do when I set up a box === zero is now known as Guest61244 [04:43] jwfoxjr: for me, it still respects /etc/network/interfaces === Guest61244 is now known as Canadian_Trenche [04:43] lstarnes: well I know that the /etc/network/interfaces on that box only had: auto lo and iface lo inet loopback [04:44] jwfoxjr: no other parameters? [04:44] pitput: ok can you enable it [04:44] pitput: add your self to it? [04:44] lstarnes: that why I think NetworkManger has full control of the networking.....and if it was manually defined in /etc/network/interfaces would probably be up... [04:44] sebsebseb, i'm a group on it now [04:45] pitput: have you added yourself to that group? [04:45] lstarnes: no other parameters...interface was defined right in NetworkManager... [04:45] pitput: if not or I guess maybe even be sure, you can run the command that page gave [04:45] That file is empty. Is that normal? [04:45] Nothing in it at all [04:46] steven_: that doesn't seem unusual if it's a new file [04:46] Alright. I have no idea either way lol [04:46] hi , i now install kde 4.3.1 in ubuntu 9.04 , and synaptic is download kdebase-workspace-wallpapers package with 47 mg , i like not download this file , who can help me :d [04:46] steven_: installing a package requires installing all of its dependencies [04:47] restarting now...

[04:53] mimiloon: There is a file called /etc/fstab which let's you do that. [04:53] pitput: rather not waste another CD when I don't have to, even though got quite a lot [04:53] pitput: so if I can use the USB stick in the vm :) [04:53] Ubuntu_Helper_00: thanks for the heads up [04:53] sebsebseb, so the usb option under devices in the VM is still greyed out.. [04:54] pitput: Did you restart? [04:54] pitput: hmm [04:54] mimiloon: Would you like me to guide you through the steps to automatically mount your partitions and/or disk drives? [04:54] Already tried the pulseaudio thing and still no sound?? [04:54] leaf-sheep, you mean log out or restart? [04:54] Ubuntu_Helper_00: that would be nice [04:54] leaf-sheep: be clear when you say restart, since they might think you mean the whole of Ubuntu, rather than for example closing vbox and re opening, or logging out of Ubuntu and back in agian [04:55] pitput: Did you restart? (Ubuntu) [04:55] leaf-sheep: restart sot he USB stuff works in the kernel? [04:55] sebsebseb: Yes. [04:55] pitput: ok re boot [04:55] mimiloon: The format of this file is file system, mount point, type, options, dump, and pass. [04:55] sebsebseb: (and fstab).

[04:56] hello, can anyone tell me how the .forward file for emails works in ubuntu ? [04:56] leaf-sheep: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox/USB [04:56] That did not work either [04:56] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox/USB [04:57] steven_: Maybe you edited the wrong file. Or there was a typo. [04:57] sebsebseb: Ah I see. We'll see what happen when he get back. :) [04:57] Ubuntu_Helper_00: sda3 [04:57] gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base [04:57] steven_: Since I can't be as much help as I would like to be, also check Google for answers. [04:58] help! i need to know how the .forward file works [04:58] mimiloon: So you would open that file in gedit for example and you would create a new line. First, what is the file system? [04:59] mimiloon: Maybe you can follow example of the other automounted partitions? [04:59] nour: Try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PostfixBasicSetupHowto [05:00] nour: Forgive me if there is a typo. I am typing by hand. [05:00] Ubuntu_Helper_00: it's ext3 [05:00] I guess my sound card or whatever just won't work [05:01] steven_: What were you doing when you broke the sound? [05:01] sebsebseb, leaf-sheep; It seems to be working! [05:01] pitput: I know. >:}~ [05:01] It never worked to begin with [05:02] leaf-sheep, how did you know? [05:02] Ubuntu_Helper_00, thanks, but i already saw the link, i just need to understand how this .forward file is supposed to work, is there a deamon or something that fetches emails and send them to the .forward entries ? [05:02] Ubuntu_Helper_00: i tried googling it but didn't understand how to do it because i'm new to linux [05:02] pitput: For starters, I do use VirtualBox myself. [05:03] leaf-sheep, ohh! I see.

[05:33] i mean extracting it from one of the packages available for download [05:33] i am new to linux as a whole [05:33] i mean instead of using apt-get [05:33] it looks like your only option is the tarballs [05:33] there is no "deb" there [05:33] zezoz2005: Can I PM you? [05:33] Canadian_Trenche: If that does not work for you, you always can zcat boot.img.gz to the USB -- Works best out of all in my opinion. ;) [05:34] djbpython you could download the debian package or you could download the tarball but why wouldnt you just install it using apt-get [05:34] anyone know how to update fstab in terminal to auto update UUID for my swap?

[05:48] less libraries longer overall downloads because you dont have as many dependencies by default [05:48] It's all mostly about designs and customization to make things nice and ease. Easier access to data and softwares and such. [05:49] UNR would be great for your kids and such. :) [05:49] hi, how do I write and save to a file in terminal?

What about performance differences b/w UNR and full? I'm reading a lot of stuff about "optimization" here. Is that empty marketing? [05:50] kris_: You're going with Gnome, right? [05:50] Well, I'd prefer KDE ... :blush: [05:50] kris you can optimize the full version as much as you can if not more then UNR [05:51] Well, Gnome or KDE... Then you're not really going for "optimization" :) [05:51] leaf-sheep: I see your point. [05:51] nothing wrong with KDE [05:51] * kris_ pounds fists with kelletim.

[05:53] kris_: You're using Dell Mini 10? Lol. [05:53] i install ubuntu-restricted-packages, so I think that's how i ended up with sun's java? [05:53] leaf-sheep: Oh no. Is that bad? [05:53] LogicFan: you don't need IcedTea, I think, just Sun's jre [05:53] that will give you the plugin and friends [05:53] well there is sun-java6-plugin in addition to the sun java jre pkgs === sleepy_cat is now known as c_nick [05:54] I've had the best results using Sun's jre and not all that other crap [05:54] just installing sun's jre won't provide the browser plugin [05:54] kris_: Nothing is ever bad. Just that Dell Mini 10 have weakest graphic cards -- Making it difficult to use in linux for 2D/3D etc. [05:54] now how do i get out of sudo -i? i can't even find documentation for sudo -i [05:54] djbpython: exit.

I guess it just wanted to be restarted six times. o.o; [05:59] so if anyone can just type in sudo -i and be root, whats the point of sudo?

[06:08] while using vi accidentally saved a ":wq" into the /etc/sudoers file, when when I try to run anything sudo (including "sudo shutdown -r now") I get a "sudoers file: syntax error, line X" -- anyone have a suggestion to restart other then simply holding the button? === jay is now known as Guest72087 [06:10] zykotic-k9: restarting isnt going to fix your sudoers file anyway [06:10] does anybody here know what the gnome equivalent of "ksplash" is?

[06:10] ok, random letters gone, but how do I save and close the file after modification? [06:10] zykotic-k9: you probably won't be able to sudo again until you fix this. Boot into the recovery console and fix /etc/sudoers. [06:11] zykotic-k9: i think ctrl-alt-del on a console (hit cntrl-alt-f1 to get to a console) should get it rebooted [06:11] lol - yup that's the plan - gotta have to just cut the power i guess :( [06:11] thanks kermit - that worked!!! [06:12] funny the GUI requires a PW but the console doesnt heh [06:12] zykotic-k9: try magic sysrq, hold alt and print and slowly type R E I S U B [06:12] oh 2late :-) [06:13] amazin, sorry man rebooting now. Cool suggestion BTW! [06:14] is there anyway to add a resoultion to the ati catalyst control panel? [06:16] FYI - booted into recovery mode, used vi to remove the ":w!" rebooted - sudo working again!

[07:05] cryptide: well i suppose i'd trun it into a shell script then, but add some stuff for the dirs [07:05] n8tuser: So, I shall just run sudo /etc/init.d/openvpn start [07:05] unperson, Probably true. I've certainly never had a need in all the years I've run Linux (before now). [07:05] unperson: maybe? try.. you might be able to use your old and new macs by using eth0:0 for the spoof [07:05] my function to get an external monitor connected isn't working any ideas [07:05] dkT_ -> yes [07:05] winetricks does not have Direct 3d anyways [07:06] I need that the most [07:06] dm-madman: diff file isn't to big... i'll just copy and paste [07:06] !dualhead |diyoung4 [07:06] diyoung4: Information about dual-head on linux can be found on http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/DualHead - See also !Xinerama [07:06] cryptide: like take the diff and basically put #!/bin/bash\nsome commands\ncat < cryptide: and an EOF at the bottom [07:06] kermit, I think I'll try bringing it down. I don't want to complicate things any more than necessary. I'm going to go give this a try. [07:06] unperson -> also there is the more advanced command ip to set all kinds of network parameters from link layer to tcp [07:06] cryptide: then you could just ./thefile | patch [07:07] cryptide: or make the directories and then run the patch [07:07] dm-madman: i'll try that [07:10] Any wine experts here? I have copied over a missing dll, but how do I make my wine and applications find it? === mirco_ is now known as mirco [07:14] tasslehoff: you can add overrides in winecfg if it doesn't find it automatically [07:14] dm-madman: thanks [07:14] tasslehoff: it's really only necessary if your dll is missing from wine [07:15] tasslehoff: or, rather the opposite [07:15] tasslehoff: like if it is a dll that wine also includes, but you want to use the MS version [07:17] hey guys, i'm trying to execute a script off of a samba share, but i get "permission denied". any idea? [07:17] thanks ubottu [07:18] helloyo: bad permissions, you need some additional options in fstab [07:18] helloyo: look at the manpage, but the options are like umask,dmask, and/or fmask [07:18] dm-madman: i have x permissions on the file, and i have mounted with the exec option [07:19] It seems Virtualbox will not run anything [07:20] hello [07:22] helloyo: i don't recall exactly, i don't use smb or windows, but last time i tried i had to do something with those *mask options [07:22] dm-madman: fair enough, i'll have a look. thanks [07:25] hgjkgh [07:25] steven: not sure why do you need to install direct 3d through wine [07:26] hey channel [07:27] Hey guys! I have a qustion about RAID1 vs RAID0 in Ubuntu. I have two Hitachi 500 GB SATA II drives. In RAID0 the the READ speed is 173 MB/s and WRITE performance is 156 MB/s; in RAID1 READ and WRITE performance is about the same : 80 MB/s [07:27] ive got a toshiba satilite laptop with latest ubuntu [07:27] good, I like ubuntut [07:27] and i'm having trouble finding either the regular toshiba driver or the omnibook module built for jaunty [07:27] ionut_, so whats the question [07:27] does anyone have this working? [07:27] I tested the speeds with dd; I thought the READ performance should pretty much be the same with RAID0 and RAID1 [07:28] ionut_: only if raid0 is striped [07:29] kermit can you gice a little more details? I thought RAID0 meant stripping... [07:30] are there other types of RAID0? [07:30] ionut_, raid 0 is a raid type [07:31] ionut_, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_RAID_levels [07:31] can somebody recommend an NES emulator for karmic? i tried fceultra but it doesn't appear to be in the repos [07:31] hey channel [07:31] does anyone run ubuntu on a toshiba laptop? [07:31] nice thank you for the raid info [07:31] kwork I don't understand what kermit means by raid0 is stripped. AFAIK RAID0=stripping and RAID1=mirroring [07:32] dmead1 I depends on the config [07:32] Boohbah: compile it yourself [07:32] Indian`, yea? [07:32] ionut_, you are correct [07:32] so what do you make of "only if raid0 is striped"? [07:32] dmead: what is your lap config or what is not working in it [07:32] Indian`, i can't find any newer omnibook modules [07:32] no idea, some wild morning talk, lack of caffein [07:32] wihen you booth ubuntu [07:32] i've got a newer satilite [07:33] my bios isnt supported by toshiba_acpi [07:33] dmead: nice hope you love ubuntu on it :) [07:33] ejv: yeah that's looking to be the way to go... why can't it be in the repos? [07:33] hey channel anyone manage to get dmraid to recognize sil3114 on jaunty server? [07:33] as a single device [07:33] Boohbah: it's definitely not a priority, if you feel passionate about it, submit your own precompiled binaries to the community; im sure others will appreciate it. [07:33] I want to be able to mount the live USB drive rw for the user ubuntu. How to do that? [07:34] hi this ram [07:34] dmead: hi are you having a sound problem? [07:34] yes [07:34] indus, no acpi [07:34] dmead: yes i know your problem [07:34] do you know how to fix it? [07:34] dmead: did u download the latest bios? [07:34] hi, how do i install the command line version of 9.04? [07:35] ejv: ok, i'll do that, thanks [07:35] no [07:35] gamerx: whats a command line version [07:35] gamerx ... get the server [07:35] cd [07:35] dmead: toshiba have a bios version which fixes this issue i think [07:35] i have micro phone pbl [07:35] yeah, just wondering if i can do it with the desktop version somehow? [07:35] Boohbah: launchpad is a good resource to learn about how to go about doing that ;) [07:35] * ejv facepalms [07:36] gamerx: i could not understand the question [07:36] indus oh yea? [07:36] ejv: https://edge.launchpad.net/~fabricesp/+archive/experimental [07:36] ejv: i see someone had the same idea [07:36] dont worry [07:36] dmead: teh acpi problem caused sound to not work on toshiba laptops [07:36] whos indus? [07:36] rofl [07:36] he neds learning :0 [07:36] gamerx: i've seen indus around here more than you [07:37] Boohbah: always be careful, make sure you trust the source, but that's always great when someone has done the work for you [07:37] indus my problem is not sound, but i'll try a bios update anyway [07:38] dmead: which version of ubuntu are you having [07:39] dmead: check this link http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=882623 [07:40] bios update for sound? omg [07:40] oh. i'm here. [07:40] dmead: but what is the problem you are facing? [07:40] boobah, i know, i was just saying.... [07:41] indus i cant use acpi [07:41] latest bios is always a good idea imo, but that's just me [07:41] also, the verdicct is i need the server version, and theres no commands or any operators i can pass at the setup screen of the desktop one? [07:42] dmead: certain laptops of toshiba produced sound on turning acpi off in kernel [07:42] kwork I've read that RAID1 reads from both disks if the OS is multi-threaded and supports split seeks. [07:42] dmead: iam not sure if this is fixed in latest releases [07:43] Can anyone tell me the way to set up a VPN on the command line? I don't want to use NetworkManger as I use wicd [07:43] yeaa.... [07:43] Boohbah: hello :) [07:43] but with mdadm it seems to read data from the disk that's responding faster [07:44] zhezza: install openvpn [07:45] * gamerx crys [07:45] * gamerx says whyyyyyyy!!!!! [07:46] Boohbah: is that CLI? [07:47] no [07:47] why i cannot create /var symlink ?

Enter it once and it keeps nagging ...

[08:56] hmm quess that did not solve it [08:56] what can I do if my gnome screen is really distorted (the desktop shows, but its really filled with lines and runing dots, as if the graphic card failed) [08:58] davix, (check the cable) what videocard do you have ? [08:58] davix: either that or you check if its still plugged in or if the driver fails or if it got too hot and recovers if you tune your bios or whatever .. [08:59] davix: when your post screen comes up does it have the same lines and running dots? [08:59] which dvb tv recievers work with ubuntu? i once had one which was not supported. i don't want to waste money again on such a thing. [09:00] davix, you can try to change the resolution, this would be the easiest thing to try. [09:00] slept, some generic card I really don't know, the cable is fine console shows up pretty well and also bootscreen. vavar it doesnt get too hot, it used to work perfectly just yesterday with windows [09:00] dbuell only when the login screen goes up [09:00] i think after the xorg [09:00] slept, of course i tried that. it didnt work [09:00] davix, open a terminal, use lspci to find out which card it is [09:02] davix: i remember such nasty graphic issues with old nvidia drivers. maybe its the video driver. [09:02] vavar: ask over at mythtv-users [09:02] slept it sais VGA compatible controler by SiS [09:02] davix, you can have a look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log errors would be marked with (EE) [09:02] fsl: thanks [09:02] vavar it does seem like it [09:03] vavar runing a system update now, maybe it will take care of it [09:03] ok slept looking for ees [09:03] davix, did you do any updates since it worked last time ? [09:03] this is a brand new installation slept [09:03] davix, not to get your hopes up but updates usally fix my problems === remi is now known as Guest89133 [09:04] davix: lshw -c video should give you more information regarding drivers and hardware than lspci [09:04] EE illegal video ram size detected [09:05] that is the most relevent error I believe [09:05] oh [09:05] maybe i fucked up something indeed [09:05] ok hang on trying something (my graphic accelerator is onboard, i will try to fix it from the bios) [09:05] did you tried and make your own xorg.conf? (im thinking the vram setting might be wrong ) [09:06] davix, try dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg if you messed up the configuration [09:06] is there an VDPAU like support for ATI cards? [09:06] a* [09:06] lightpriest: no [09:07] Jester45, I haven't yet. i'll let it finish update and then i'll try it [09:07] slept ok. once the update finishes i'll do it [09:07] * Jester45 notes to ignore him if he sounds like his not making much since [09:07] so just curious how many ppl out there have upgraded to the new 9.10 yet [09:07] i got a weak proc that shows HD movies flawlessly only with VDPAU turned on [09:07] there's no way to get that proc power of the GPU with ATI cards? [09:07] lshw -class video [09:07] lightpriest: what is VDPAU ? [09:07] or lshw -C video [09:08] ati has hardware video acceleration [09:08] !socket [09:08] Sorry, I don't know anything about socket [09:08] vdpau is an nvidia API designed to offload video decoding to the GPU hardware [09:08] !sockets [09:08] Sorry, I don't know anything about sockets [09:09] !VDPAU [09:09] Sorry, I don't know anything about VDPAU [09:09] guys, can't find any reference how to deal with UNIX sockets in Ubuntu? [09:09] hello. - I want to perform an update using update manager - but I want to control when it occurs. Can this be done from the terminal? [09:09] vavar, it's an API for unix that X can send video processing tasks to the GPU [09:09] !cron | aprilhare [09:09] aprilhare: 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 [09:09] aprilhare, you can do it using apt-get and cron [09:10] lightpriest: I recommend coreavc [09:10] lightpriest: does that work with nvidia and ati or just one of them? [09:10] ejv, what is that? [09:10] vavar, it's nvidia's [09:10] good. i have a nvidia. how to use that kind of stuff? [09:10] an h.264 video decoder, you should compile support for coreavc into mplayer, and play your hi def content [09:10] aprilhare, put this line in your crontab "apt-get update && apt-get -y upgrade [09:11] aprilhare, sleep whateverlimeyoulikeinsecondfromnowon; apt-get update ; apt-get -y upgrade [09:11] ejv, that's a similar functionality to VDPAU? [09:11] cause my cpu is very weak :P [09:11] PecisDarbs: im not a programmer but i can suggest that it might be easer to think unix to linux. not unix to ubuntu. [09:11] they are totally different [09:11] anyone with ubuntu hardy and openoffice 3 from ppa? [09:12] Hi there I am looking to connect to a mysql database on mu ubuntu box from my windows machine, but i am not having much luck. anyone been able to do this? [09:12] ejv, i guess i'll just have to try ;) [09:12] vdpau is an api, coreavc is a software decoding library [09:12] dharrison, phpmyadmin [09:12] they are apples and oranges [09:12] dharrison: mysql listens default on localhost I think === sleepy_cat is now known as c_nick [09:13] oobe I have phpmyadmin working ok. I am looking for an odbc connection [09:13] hi ,, i have problem with my ipod touch ,, i install ipod-convenience and i do >> ipod-touch-mount and i get this error >> Please add yourself to the fuse group, logout/in and try again. ...... any idea ?! [09:13] ejv, i understand that. [09:13] lightpriest: what video chipset are you using? [09:13] Hallo there, my friend installed ubuntu, and it worked for a while. But then after a reboot the computer wouldn't recognize the hard drives, so he's running from a live disk at the moment, with no idea what to do. Any ideas? [09:13] dharrison, the-dude is right you need to get mysql to bin to your lan ip rather than localhost [09:14] i have nvidia now, but i want to get an ATI. i just wanted to check if it has a similar functionality [09:14] the-dude: no. is oo3 even in that repository? [09:14] Sicilia, sudo adduser your_username fuse [09:14] oobe where do I do that please? :-) [09:14] slept, i add my user before but nothing happen [09:14] thanks oobe, slept [09:14] shazbotmcnasty: have him list the available devices (via 'fdisk -l'), mount them to /mnt or /media, doesn't really matter, then cd to /mnt/disk/var/log ; and find out what occurred in the logs. [09:15] shazbotmcnasty: /mnt/ or /media/ [09:15] Sicilia, did you lock out ? [09:15] dharrison, this line bind-address = 127.0.0.1 in /etc/mysql/my.cnf [09:15] shazbotmcnasty, do you know what it says at boot? no OS installed? no boot disk? does grub load at all? how about the BIOS does that still detect the drive [09:15] yes and i restart not only log out [09:15] Sicilia, type groups in aterminal , see if you are member of fuse [09:16] geek@GeeK-Pc:~$ groups [09:16] fuse admin vboxusers [09:16] dharrison, actually you might not need to change that [09:16] oh right [09:16] lightpriest: with properly compiled libraries, you can squeeze 1080p bluray playback off an onboard ati HD3200. you need to know what you're doing. [09:16] mine is set to localhost and remote pc's can still connect fine [09:16] lool i told u i add my user fuse [09:17] but nothing happen :S === frederic_ is now known as Fre [09:17] oh :-( [09:17] ejv, "properly compiled" sounds like years of work ;p [09:17] i can see the port is set ok 3306 [09:17] ejv, anyhow... i'll try that... [09:17] thanks! [09:17] dharrison, check what port sql is listening on ps aux | grep sql | grep port [09:17] so anyone have any idea of this problem ?! [09:18] that might be a good idea to start [09:18] i did a telnet on ubuntu localhost 3306 and works ok [09:18] lightpriest: if you're not into that, I suggest your purchase a beefy card to make sure you don't have issues; keep in mind that even sufficiently powerful cards can falter playing hi-def content; it matters what libraries your players use. [09:18] how are you trying to connect ? [09:18] vavar: it use to work [09:18] anyone is using jabberd2 with openldap? [09:19] hi ,, i have problem with my ipod touch ,, i install ipod-convenience and i do >> ipod-touch-mount and i get this error >> Please add yourself to the fuse group, logout/in and try again. ...... any idea ?! [09:19] dharrison: and check if the user is grated from the remote ip [09:19] Sicilia: you need to be in the fuse group, if you're not, you need to be added by someone with sudo rights [09:19] ejv, yeah :/ well, thanks... [09:20] lightpriest: for example, my 8800gts, a sufficiently powerful card, can not playback 1080p bluray in VLC, because of inefficiencies within VLC. [09:20] Sicilia, add yourself to plugdev aswell [09:20] Myrtti, ok i do this command ,, adduser myuser fuse ,, is not enough ? [09:20] slept, how ? [09:21] Sicilia: sudo adduser [09:21] the same you did with fuse [09:21] i have the odbc mysql connector on my windows xp machine, and I have tried telnet as well [09:21] okay, while booting, he said that it says 'operating system failed' === remi is now known as Guest21759 [09:21] ok wait [09:21] lightpriest: VLC uses libraries from the ffmpeg project. the h.264 codec in ffmpeg is part of libavcodec, which is terrible; coreavc is a windows proprietary decoder, however happens to be tremendously more efficient than libavcodec. [09:21] where do I check that I am granted access from my ip? [09:21] do you know why my mouse clicks on x11vnc isnt getting through [09:21] ok i do it [09:21] aaron115: is x11vnc in a mode it accepts mouseclicks? [09:22] done [09:22] Sicilia: it wont take immediate action, you may need to relogin [09:22] ok if did`t work ? [09:22] lightpriest: my solution to make my 8800gts playback 1080p flawlessly, was mplayer + coreavc; if you really jump in, I suggest grabbing the recent build via their SVN. ;) === Rei-chan|Ghostin is now known as Rei-chan [09:22] what should i do ? [09:22] ejv, thanks :) [09:22] Sicilia: you need to relogin [09:22] There are some programs running in the background taking up a lot lot of my CPU ressources. namely "update-apt-xapi" just took up 100% for a while - i dont want that to run automatically [09:23] ok iknow [09:23] i know wayyyy too much about this crap [09:23] i say if did`t work what should i do ? [09:23] *sigh* [09:23] i'll keep that in mind ;p [09:23] if i relogin and nothing happen what i should do [09:23] Sicilia: *if*? did it work or did it not work? [09:23] not work [09:23] :\ [09:23] lightpriest: i've seen a low end dual core amd 4850e and a onboard hd3200 playback 1080p, I hope that gives you hope ;) [09:24] update-manager takes up 40 mb of memory though its not updating anything - whats that about? [09:24] dharrison, http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/how-do-i-enable-remote-access-to-mysql-database-server.html [09:24] Sicilia: you relogged in that fast? wow [09:24] sorry my mind not in my head :P [09:24] nooo nooooooooooooo [09:24] and why is there a pulseaudio daemon running although i am on alsa? [09:24] i saay if i relogin [09:24] and nothig happen [09:24] ubuntu is wasting my ressources!! [09:24] dharrison, i never had any problems cause i use mythbuntu-control-centre which set all that up for me [09:24] Sicilia: relogin. we'll deal it not working, *if* it doesn't work [09:24] lat say now i relogin [09:24] but that article i posted should help [09:25] ok :\ [09:25] ah ok. thank you very mcuh I shall try that :-) [09:25] Sicilia, you will have to get more information about your problem I don't have an ipot so I can't find out [09:25] !gentoo | ManDay [09:25] ManDay: Other !Linux distributions besides !Ubuntu include: Debian, Mepis (using !APT); RedHat, Fedora, SUSE, Mandriva (using !RPM); Gentoo, Slackware (using other packaging systems) [09:25] lol [09:25] ejv, thanks i got gentoo already [09:25] :x i buy for u ipod-touch 32 gb [09:25] can someone help me with python? i am having trouble with blender [09:25] :P ok brb let me try [09:26] ejv, im fine with ubuntu - i just want to get rid of these ressource wasting stuff because i dont have much of the former [09:26] abhifx: #python [09:26] for instance why would i need a pulseadio daemon if i use asla?

I would have to recompile it [09:27] abhifx: what kind python help do you need? [09:27] i`ve installed hplip. hp-check says everything is ok [09:27] mne: compiling mplayer from SVN is always a good idea. [09:27] sane-find-scanner finds my scanner, same as scanimage -L [09:28] rsk, so you have a working video player (like mplayer) on amd64 that can successfully decode wma9 ? [09:28] i'm not using amd64 [09:28] rsk, using google I just found lots of pages saying that wma9 can currently only played with the w32 codecs which does not work on amd64 [09:28] syslog says its a problem with the soapht.c trying to load restricted library soapht.so but it cant find it [09:29] mne: you can uuse the w32codecs on amd64 === remi is now known as Guest37230 [09:29] rsk, using a 32 bit chroot for it ?

[10:46] since last three days i was unable to login into graphical mode in ubuntu box... [10:46] ... that is not the same as checking to see if the ports are open [10:46] so does anyone know the key to my problem :P [10:46] your isp could be blocking [10:46] etc. [10:46] nope, doesn't [10:46] can you telnet to the terminal server on 3389? [10:46] it's the university, they don't block this stuff [10:47] fsl: my isp is blocking? no i tried it with subcomandante in #yafaray channel [10:47] Gnea: I did. But they all need some sort of sepcial tools [10:47] iso-to-stick.sh or such scripts [10:47] fsl: I doubt that they leave telnet open [10:47] kind of a security problem ;) [10:47] its not for telnet [10:47] telnet is a dumb protocal [10:47] so does anyone know [10:47] it will tell you if the port is open [10:47] you don't really need telnet for rdp conections [10:48] no [10:48] ManDay: i belive it's trail focus in compiz [10:48] you need telnet to test ports [10:48] normally telnet is deactivated for security reassons [10:48] Elvanor: then you didn't read them all the way through.

[10:48] which is why you are telneting on 3389 [10:48] to connect to the terminal server [10:48] Elvanor, i would just use unetbootin. fire up the program, select the distro, select the drive, click okay [10:48] Axlin: unetbootin is only for Ubuntu ? or is it available on other distros? [10:49] ankur: i can connect and see the desktop in action but cant controll it [10:49] Elvanor, you can use it on any linux distro you want, or windows [10:49] Ha, it is available on Gentoo [10:49] Elvanor: please see the 'manual approach' on the first link.

[11:15] Hi. I believe I have mixed up my gems by using both the gems and aptitude for installing. Can I somehow rebuild gem index or do another repair operation? [11:15] nope [11:16] helo? [11:17] Munna: in my experiance the live cd does the same thing... it could be you're system rather than the ubuntu o/s [11:17] azza: no [11:17] Hi everyone :) Anyone using openbox in here? [11:17] hi. on my jaunty laptop, connected to the network with wifi, i need to mount a remote disk on a linux server. nfs will hang if it goes out of range, so what should i be using? [11:17] Munna: If no one is answering it is because no one has the answer. That is a very odd problem [11:18] Gothfunc: samba or sshfs [11:18] does anyone know why alt-printscreen-k wont open the photo cropper lik eit should??? [11:18] I remember reading about some new protocol to replace nfs... [11:18] azza: ive tried x11vnc with subcomandante on the channel #yafaray and he controlled mine and it worked [11:18] not that it's gained any traction...

[11:19] so noone knows the answer [11:19] Amaranth: i'm using cifs at the moment and it seems ok, apart from the fact that gedit can't delete backup files when it saves. i have backups unchecked in the prefs but apparently it's normal for gedit to create the backup anyway then delete it after, but it's not getting deleted and the files are building up and up until i get errors. i can delete them manually and the permissions are fine. any ideas? [11:19] Munna: just wait an hour or so [11:19] Munna: what commands are you using to launch x11vnc ? [11:20] sadrolla: That driver is only is the development release of Ubuntu, you'll have to wait for the next release if you want an easy way to install it [11:20] azza: :o [11:20] Lolz [11:20] Gothfunc: Sorry, don't have any experience with cifs [11:20] sadrolla, sudo aptitude update or sudo aptitide install nvidia-glx-185 :) (though, I am on karmic :P ) [11:20] fsl: x11vnc -rfbauth /home/aaronvarghese/.vnc/passwd [11:20] Gothfunc: I prefer sshfs myself [11:20] Munna: read the faq for x11vnc [11:21] link please its a large website !;) [11:21] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=45565 [11:21] ;) [11:21] hello there, need help. i have p3 desktop what kind linux that can be run in this desktop. please suggest me [11:21] Munna: Question #3 "keystrokes and mouse button clicks are ignored (I am able to move the mouse though) [11:21] Gothfunc: You can configure ssh to only allow connections within your network but if you configure it to only work with ssh keys and not regular passwords it should be secure enough to allow access from anywhere [11:21] Michalxo: i am on kubuntu 9.04 , i will faster kubi [11:21] gemilang: Regular Ubuntu 32-bit should work on that system as long as you have enough RAM [11:21] munna: http://www.karlrunge.com/x11vnc/faq.html#faq-missing-xtest [11:21] realy kubu 4.3.1 [11:22] gemilang: You may want to check out Xubuntu though [11:22] Amaranth: thanks [11:22] ROOT in ubuntu is not quite set up as describe in the documentation - does anyone have experience with ROOT under ubuntu?

[11:44] or install windows ? [11:44] PoLL`: in ubuntu right clicking in the choser and selecting properties does the trick [11:45] erUSUL: i know, but in my case this option is missig [11:45] erUSUL: i can only set the width ... [11:46] Sicilia: You need access to a computer with iTunes installed [11:47] hey guys, I have an external hard disk and want to use it on both linux and windows systems, what filesystem should i use? ntfs always made problems when windows users unsecurely removed it, and fat32 has 4gb limit, and ext3/4 cannot be read by the stupid windows, does anyone know a good fle system? [11:47] hello [11:47] daasdingo: you don't have very many choices [11:47] daasdingo: FAT32 is the obvious choice [11:48] but I have movies which are over 4gb, thats the problem [11:48] Sicilia: kind of sucks dealing with a company that locks down their devices like that huh? [11:48] i dont linke FAT32 :) [11:48] well I don't like it either [11:48] but if you want a filesystem that works on Linux and Windows flawlessly, that's your answer [11:48] hm [11:49] yes, I dont like it either [11:49] whre are you from? [11:49] Or make ir ext 3 and share it rhough samba [11:49] Boohbah, that`s a way for bill ge ..... and apple company :\ [11:49] then your Linux and windows can access it [11:49] hi2all, is there anybody knows how to connect nsc-ircc with lirc? [11:49] but in school people want to plug it in for file sharing etc [11:49] daasdingo: do you have separate Linux and Windows machines or are you dual booting? [11:50] its an external hard disk, and in school we have both linux and windows systems so we always have problems with that [11:50] daasdingo, you can always break apart a big file into a few smaller files and stitch them back together when needed. [11:50] PoLL`: right click top panel chooes add to panel choose workspace switcher does that one allow adding workspaces? [11:50] well, i suppose thats the best solution, yes [11:50] Far from ideal, but that's the state of cross-platform filesystems today. [11:51] daasdingo: FAT32 is your answer [11:51] I dont know much about windows, can it only read fat and ntfs? [11:52] daasdingo, possible to isntall plugins for ext2,3 [11:52] `Can't you make 1 server and let the Linux and windows pcs connect to it? Or do you need a transportable disk? [11:53] daasdingo: ntfs will work too [11:53] I need it transportable, we have no network connection between pcs [11:53] daasdingo: windows can read ext2 with extra software from http://www.fs-driver.org [11:53] if in firefox Check for Updates is Greyed out, is the browser/box hijacked? [11:53] daasdingo: ntfs is your best choice [11:53] daasdingo: linux can write to ntfs with ntfs-3g [11:54] nnull: there is no update [11:54] is there a ppa for Skype 2.1? [11:54] or even a deb? [11:54] nnull: updates come from ubuntu, not mozilla [11:54] well i think I'll use fat32 ntfs sucks on a portable drive [11:54] ActionParsnip, Linux can't recover NTFS journals, so it stops working as soon as a Windows user removes it without unmounting it. [11:54] kholerabbi: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-install-skype-2-1-beta-in-ubuntu.html [11:55] ActionParsnip→ So 3.0.1.3 is the lastest ubuntu release? [11:55] AryehGregor: thats why you should always cleanly remove [11:55] because windows users just plug the drives off and then you have to force mount etc [11:55] smt@work [11:55] ActionParsnip, doesn't help him if other people are using it. [11:55] nnull: in jaunty 3.5.4 is a seperate app [11:55] thanks ActionParsnip [11:55] ActionParsnip: but nobody safely removes [11:55] ActionParsnip→ Ahh... Cheers ;) [11:55] AryehGregor: true but its best practice and is advised in windows, treat hardware nice and it will look after you :) [11:56] legend2440: yep ... thats the first time i have seen somethin like this [11:56] ActionParsnip: the 8.10 skype deb works in Jaunty? [11:56] kholerabbi: doubt it [11:56] daasdingo: linux can't fix fat32, if it needs to be checked for errors it needs to be checked for errors [11:56] legend2440: i've been using gnome for serveral years [11:56] daasdingo: with fat32 you're just ignoring the errors [11:56] PoLL`: does the new one let you add workspaces? [11:56] legend2440: no [11:57] ActionParsnip: damn. someone, somewhere must have packaged it. [11:57] legend2440: i has to be compliz messing with metacity === kill is now known as Guest80281 [11:58] PoLL`: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=649418 [11:58] Amaranth: well, but who cares about the dirty bit, normally it works ok [11:58] I am trying to remove a file .ssh and I did this "rm -rf /home/.ssh" but the folder is still present when I do 'ls -la' [11:58] how to open terminal??? [11:59] helo i want to install libx11-dev libxaw8-dev [11:59] PoLL`: If you're using GNOME and compiz choosing Preferences should show you rows and columns and changing them should change the compiz settings [11:59] How can i remove it / [11:59] ? [11:59] !terminal | Hitman32 [11:59] PoLL`: If you're using metacity it should show workspaces and rows [11:59] yop in " RUN " [11:59] Hitman32: lol aplications accsesories terminal [11:59] no [11:59] ?

[12:00] Ytxx: :D [12:00] I am trying to remove a file .ssh and I did member:this "rm -rf /home/.ssh" but the folder is still present when I do 'ls -la' [12:00] Ytxx: rm -rf [12:00] Ytxx, did you get any error message? [12:00] Ytxx: it will remove the folder and all sub-contents [12:00] Er. [12:00] ActionParsnip: nope nothing [12:00] /home/.ssh usually doesn't exist. [12:00] Ytxx: so make sure you dont need any of the contents at all [12:00] Perhaps you meant to remove ~/.ssh ? [12:01] but I can see it [12:01] Are you sure you gave the correct path? [12:01] Ytxx: no, that's be /home//.ssh [12:01] Ytxx: what folder do you want to delete? [12:01] .ssh [12:01] Amaranth: i have removed compiz (w. --purge) ... still same problem. And after 10 mins of usage ... i can't switch workspaces anymore [12:01] s/that's/that'd/ [12:01] Does ls -d /home/.ssh show anything? [12:01] Ytxx: rm -rf ~/.ssh [12:01] .ssh is a relative path. [12:01] Give the full path. [12:01] I think you're confusing /home with /home/yourusername. [12:01] PoLL`: Removing compiz is a bad idea, just disable it with System->Preferences->Appearance [12:02] PoLL`: But why do you not want compiz? [12:02] Ytxx: if you run the command without the path, it assumes the pwd [12:02] ActionPartnership i want libx11-dev and libxaw7-dev but its saying E:Package libxaw8-dev has no installation candidate [12:02] HOW TO apt-get list |grep whatever? [12:02] Amaranth: i did that ... and it comes back on ... [12:02] PoLL`: I don't see how that's possible [12:03] julemore: apt-cache search something [12:03] PoLL`: You selected the "None" option, right? [12:03] gmm k [12:03] Julian-de: do you want a list of installed app, or possible apps? [12:03] Amaranth: yep [12:03] (reposting) What might it mean if my machine locks up; responds to pings but SSH times out; Alt-SysRq REISUB lets me reboot with clean filesystems; but Alt-SysRq-K doesn't restart the session, and there's nothing relevant in syslog? [12:03] this is what I did 'rm -rf ~/.ssh' [12:03] and when I do "ls -la" the file is still there [12:03] Amaranth: nobody wants compiz [12:03] ActionPartnership i want libx11-dev and libxaw7-dev but its saying E:Package libxaw8-dev has no installation candidate [12:04] daasdingo: I do [12:04] Amaranth: like i told you i've been using gnome for server years ... this is the first time something this strange happens to me [12:04] Hi guys ! [12:04] ActionPartnership i want libx11-dev and libxaw8-dev but its saying E:Package libxaw8-dev has no installation candidate [12:04] Ytxx, do "ls -lad ~/.ssh" [12:04] Amaranth: it only makes problems with 3d apss [12:04] any tech guys around here?? [12:04] Ytxx, "~/.ssh" might or might not be the same file as ".ssh". It depends what directory you're in. [12:04] all are [12:04] daasdingo: But I may be a bit biased, I'm a compiz developer and somewhat responsible for it in ubuntu :P [12:04] great :) [12:04] Ytxx, what does "pwd" say? [12:05] I have a dissplay problem on Linux Mint 7 [12:05] ls: cannot access /home/.ssh: No such file or directory [12:05] daasdingo: Not with nvidia and (at least in karmic) intel [12:05] Amaranth: kk ;-) [12:05] Could anyone help === kill is now known as Guest74385 [12:05] Amaranth, Compiz tends to mess up some things from what I've heard . . . e.g., Wine strongly recommends turning it off. [12:05] I posted on their forum [12:05] pwd = "/" === Guest74385 is now known as can_xyz [12:05] liping this should be taken to #linux-mint or #linux mint [12:05] AryehGregor: WINE also recommends turning off pulseaudio but we're getting a bit offtopic [12:05] Amaranth: wine games have never worked with compiz at my system with nvidia [12:05] I did try there [12:06] but noone is there to hel [12:06] Ytxx, then ".ssh" means "/.ssh" for you. If you want to remove ".ssh" from your current directory, you need to do "rm -rf .ssh". [12:06] help [12:06] !mintsupport | Lping [12:06] Lping, mint is not supported here [12:06] noone is able to help at the moment [12:06] Amaranth, PA works fine if you just use pasuspend all the time. Otherwise, yes, there are problems. [12:06] bazhang: I understand [12:06] but we support linux problems [12:06] Amaranth, but the fact is, a lot of people want to use Wine, so . . . [12:06] Amaranth: i guess you guys never heard of a problem like this [12:06] but its a display GNOME issue [12:06] not linux MINT based [12:07] or join ##linux [12:07] is there girls here [12:07] Munna, Lping ##linux for linux problems ; here is Ubuntu support only [12:07] ???

[12:07] Amaranth: I dont know about the state of compiz know, but a year ago with nvidia normal 3d apss didnt work either i think [12:07] mmh but ubuntu is linux [12:07] #whitesource [12:07] migg: ? [12:08] Amaranth: at least opengl stuff didn't start [12:08] Munna, so is debian; it is not supported here either [12:08] Munna what is FreeBSD??? [12:08] Amaranth: did u fix it? if so how?

[12:08] i use ubuntu and i have a question.... its with the totem movie player.... [12:08] PoLL`: So you go into Appearance and set effects to None and it automatically goes back to Normal? [12:08] baha: take this topic to another chanel [12:08] please [12:08] PoLL`: In karmic is was fixed with a package upgrade [12:09] hmm [12:09] Amaranth: the other way around [12:09] PoLL`: Normal is compiz, you uninstalled compiz [12:09] Amaranth: from compiz desktop to normal [12:09] Amaranth: after that i remove compiz [12:09] PoLL`: None is metacity, all other choices are compiz [12:09] PoLL`: What happens when you set effects to None? [12:10] ty for apt-cahe search info [12:10] bazhang: do you know why when i try to install libxaw8-dev it shows E: Package libxaw8-dev has no installation canidate [12:10] Amaranth: some of my windows lost their border [12:10] Munna: that package doesn't exist [12:10] why can't i install ubuntu jaunty on a old pc like pentium2 but when I use 5.10 I have no problems what so ever [12:10] ! what [12:10] PoLL`: only some?

[12:11] lianimator: there is no exact time [12:12] lianimator, 29.10 [12:12] lianimator: there is a day though, October 29th [12:12] Amaranth: i know ... right now compiz is out and i am in gnome [12:12] PoLL`: So metacity is running?

[12:21] Is there any way to see what's inside the php5-dev package without installing it ?

[12:31] and, will do [12:31] Ademan: yeah [12:31] Munna: check the settings of the server app, it wil have an option to allow it [12:31] Munna: if the remote computer is setup to allow you to connect but not do anything then you can't do anything [12:31] im on it right now and i checked alow others to view your desktop and allow others to control your desktop [12:32] Amaranth: can if you can attend the system physically [12:32] * Ademan loathes vnc...

It is possible you have more than one server running now [12:33] Munna: try a different vnc server app [12:33] Munna: see if it only affects that app, or if its a broader issue [12:33] something isn't right within the kernel somewhere ...

[13:24] dawidjj: did you check the cd for errors? [13:25] the cd has bads, but i don't have another [13:25] IpSe_DiXiT, you could troubleshoot by trying another app though, ie gnomebaker [13:25] dawidjj , you can install of usb if you have a big enough one, get unetbootin [13:25] hi, i'm trying to register with jabber but get this: Registration Failed [13:25] 409: Conflict [13:26] the problem is that this old laptop can not boot from usb [13:26] IpSe_DiXiT, I understand, I just thought you may need a backup set and that program was not functioning.

[14:26] rizzuh: the output gives a product line stating how ubuntu sees your sound card, websearch that line [14:26] Ytxx: you dont, you ssh as your user and use sudo [14:26] Thank you ActionParsnip [14:26] I need Help ..... any1 can help me ? please ppl i cant hear anything i will kill my self :S [14:26] ActionParsnip: ok ..I will not ssh as root but How can I enable it ? [14:27] I need Help ..... any1 can help me ? please ppl i cant hear anything i will kill my self :S I cant get my sound cart to work [14:27] Ytxx: i dont know. all i know is it i disbaled and rightly so. evenif i knew i wouldnt tell you [14:27] paddeltje: thanks anyway [14:27] ActionParsnip: bios is okay and all the other fn keys work and everything works well in windows, there are hundreds of threads about the brightness problem but nothing has resolved it yet [14:27] Hystoriker: yw! [14:27] Is there any difference between hardy and jaunty chroot? [14:27] ActionParsnip, actually, it lists two sound cards with a bunch of details, and for some reason, both seem to be the HDMI output, not the built-in sound card. [14:27] King1: looks like a known issue then [14:27] ActionParsnip: ok . . . [14:27] Abhi1234: Yes there is. Read the page that I linked you to, especially the part that mentions http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/d/debootstrap/ [14:28] hi [14:28] rizzuh: can you pastebin the output of the command please [14:28] Currently running Ubuntu 9.04 on a Gateway laptop. In current Ubuntu how/where do you change latency/buffer/period size/whatever you call it? [14:28] "latency", "buffer", and "period" all mean totally different things. [14:28] sorry :S [14:28] I want to play my piano realtime with low latency, but the default buffer size makes playback lag. [14:29] ActionParsnip, http://paste.ubuntu.com/269172/ [14:29] rizzuh: i'd shoot for SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA) [14:29] ActionParsnip: I guess I am going to rebuild it again [14:29] Hey guys! Is it true that compiling the source of a program will generate a faster running binary then the prebuild ones? [14:30] AryehGregor whichever I need to change............ how do you edit sound card settings? === Unibob is now known as DJ_Unibob|laptop [14:30] ionut_ that's the whole theory behind gentoo linux............ but the speed increase is usually not worth it. [14:30] Ytxx: you never need to ssh as root, its unnecessary [14:30] ionut_: well, the pre-built binaries are also generated by compiling the source of the programme... [14:30] ionut_: what wolfwalker said. [14:30] Ytxx: also allowing it reduces security as the account name is common and will be a primary attack by intruders [14:30] I need Help ..... any1 can help me ? please ppl i cant hear anything i will kill my self :S I cant get my sound cart to work [14:31] !audio | racha [14:31] racha: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [14:31] racha: run: lspci | grep -i audio [14:31] ionut_: if you're careless in selecting compilation options, you can even make the thing slightly slower. [14:31] ActionParsnip: that's why I want to know ...maybe somone else has access [14:31] racha threats wont get you anywhere [14:31] racha: that identifies the sound card, you can now websearch for that and you will find guides [14:31] ActionParsnip: somone else changed the password [14:31] can i get rid of all the dictionary stuff without having to uninstall openoffice and such? [14:32] Ytxx: which password was changed? [14:32] I think I will compile PostgreSQL from source because 8.4 hasn't been backported to Jaunty :( [14:32] ManDay: i think its a dep [14:32] ActionParsnip, yep, synaptic says so - but why? i dont want to use spellcheck and stuff [14:32] can i force a purge? [14:32] i'm running windows on my virtual box and installed the virtual box guest additions. before i installed virtual box guest additions i pressed "right ctrl" and a menue appeared in which i could mount whatever i wanted. but now nothing happens :/ can someone tell me how to mount media ? [14:32] and ignore deps? [14:33] ActionParsnip, problem is there i cant find any guides ... [14:33] ManDay: you could compile it to not need it but the standard debs need it [14:33] racha: ok can you give me the line my command outputted please [14:33] ActionParsnip i knowe what Sound Car i use ... - ActionParsnip [14:34] racha: i want to know how ubuntu sees it, not what you know/think it is [14:34] ActionParsnip, sorry but i am new with ubuntu so u will need to explai me [14:34] ActionParsnip, can i just remove the dictionary stuff and hope that ooo will not fail? [14:34] racha: lspci | grep -i audio [14:34] ManDay: its not a critical part, so shouldnt fail [14:34] rednammoc: at the top of the window is a menu for devices [14:35] ActionParsnip, and what to copy u ? [14:35] racha: please copy the output and paste it here [14:35] ActionParsnip, 00:05.0 Audio device: nVidia Corporation MCP61 High Definition Audio (rev a2) [14:35] 01:06.0 Multimedia audio controller: C-Media Electronics Inc CM8738 (rev 10) [14:35] racha: ok its a CM8738 chip [14:35] Where do you access sound card settings like dmix period size? [14:35] ActionParsnip, ya [14:35] ActionParsnip, can i use synaptic to perform this surgery? tell it to ignore certain dependencies? [14:35] I want to reduce latency for realtime piano playing. [14:36] hay guys === karel is now known as labrute974 [14:36] Hey hay hai ecolitan === Funky1 is now known as NickDeNeger [14:36] ManDay: you could use apt-get in some way. ive never done this tbh. you could just turn of spellchecking in OOo [14:36] i want to start xload with it always on top and always visible on all desktops [14:37] <|-Gobi-|> I am trying to display value within parenthesis with grep.. eg (ab:3123), how do i get that output that only contains "ab:2123"? [14:37] ActionParsnip, what can i do now ? [14:38] racha: is the sound muted in the volume controls? [14:38] |-Gobi-| you can use awk to trip the lines [14:38] ActionParsnip, no [14:38] trim [14:38] Where do you access sound card settings like dmix period size? I want to reduce sound card output latency so I can play a piano in real time. [14:38] <|-Gobi-|> ecolitan: ty, ill look it up =) [14:38] Any1 can tell me what i need to do to install something like http://www.xmms.org/ [14:39] !xmms [14:39] xmms is no longer being developed, see http://bugs.debian.org/461309 for more details. Consider using audacious, bmpx, or xmms2 instead.

[14:42] racha: you need to remove HDA Intel first, if the command doesnt work, try finding a way to rmmod it [14:42] does anyone know software that can modify JPG images of faces to a more caricature or distorted funny character [14:42] that runs on linux? [14:42] hello, how to view a list of installed packages on command line? I want to remove google desktop but it is not in synaptic, very strage [14:42] racha: after than, modproe in the right driver [14:42] th0r: after installing these "guest additions" all windows are included in my normal desktop [14:42] calwig: gimp maybe [14:43] rednammoc: if you aren't in full screen mode then there should be a menu bar at the top, if you are in full screen mode RightCtrl-F should get you back to windowed mode [14:43] calwig try Gimp [14:43] ActionParsnip, how to remove HDA Intel ? [14:43] Jack you can also get the avant window navigator. Which will do the same job. [14:43] racha: you'll need sudo rmmod but i'm unsure of the sytax, use websearching to find out [14:43] ActionParsnip, its my first time using ubuntu ...

I want to reduce sound card output latency so I can play a piano in real time. If someone could direct me to a template .asoundrc file I could edit and drop in my home folder, or tell me how to make my own, I'd be grateful.

[14:57] Pici, done [14:57] Pici, What next ? [14:57] racha: reboot. [14:57] SixtyFold: it loads some form of grub and you choose which OS [14:57] Pici, ok i will come in 3-4 min [14:58] SixtyFold: as I understand it wubi uses the windows boot loader and it should give you the choice on boot [14:58] h [14:58] so...

Will ubuntu continue to list new and older kernal versions on the boot list? [14:59] Astine: yes [14:59] Astine: as long as the kernel is installed it will be listed [14:59] SixtyFold: or you can use virtualbox [14:59] thank you [14:59] Astine: just make sure the "linux-image" package is instlled then remove the unused kernels [15:00] Pici, done ... and what now i will be able to use C-Media ? [15:00] Astine: that will make sure that when a new kernel is installed the old one is uninstalled [15:00] racha: Perhaps, I think ActionParsnip had the module name. I need to run to a meeting so I won't be able to help.

[15:07] racha: scroll up and read what I told you [15:07] tim167: p45 is the chipset. many manufactures make p45 mobos... just pick one of a manufacturer you trust or based on price features... [15:07] should i get DDR2 or DDR3 RAM ? [15:07] tim167: or ask in ##hardware [15:07] tim167: p45 is ddr2 iirc [15:08] tim167: what ever suits your motherboard [15:08] ActionParsnip, u told me to run that and edit it ... but u didnt say in what to edit that...

[15:09] ActionParsnip, erUSUL: ok thanks, i guess "Gigabyte 775 GA-EP45T-UD3LR DDR3 ATX" is not a P45 mobo although it has 'p45' in its name... [15:09] tim167: its offtopic here [15:10] ActionParsnip, so it need to be "blacklist snd_intel_hda" [15:10] racha: yes [15:10] ActionParsnip, reboot ?

[15:15] racha: it wont if it succeeds [15:15] yinlong: Gparted allows resizing partitions without destroying data in its regular process. Of course you should still back up your data "just in case".

[15:16] Elvanor: if you have internet its just the one line ActionParsnip gave you above [15:16] yinlong: You can boot your comp into live mode ("test Ubuntu without changing anything") and run gparted from there. I'm not sure if it's working from the OS on the harddrive [15:16] ziroday: ok [15:16] duffydack: what is nautilus [15:17] Any1 knowe please how to get my Sound Card To WORK :*( [15:17] sirGuest, file manager [15:17] yinlong: That depends on what you set to be smaller :p [15:17] Elvanor: have fun [15:17] yinlong: Drag the folder to the bookmarks section in nautilus [15:17] ziroday: i think the server is on the cd [15:17] j [15:17] !nautilus | sirGuest [15:17] Sorry, I don't know anything about nautilus [15:17] !info nautilus | sirGuest [15:17] sirGuest: nautilus (source: nautilus): file manager and graphical shell for GNOME.

I've tried lsusb and dmesg as well, but they show nothing. Could someone help me with this, please? [15:26] Ziber, sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata [15:26] my system shuts down at random and or trys to reboot [15:27] yinlong: /away [15:27] Ziber: sudo tzselect ? [15:27] any thoughts on using ssd on an ubuntu desktop? should I be disabling swap? [15:27] :) thanks [15:27] yinlong: Have you tried running gparted yet? It's quite straight-forward [15:27] Now, with bind, my DNS server is rejecting commands from itself. [15:28] lb_i am trying it. [15:28] cfedde: yes disable swap [15:28] yinlong: You can try changing your setup without actually changing anything to get a feeling for it [15:28] Ziber: you really want to do sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata [15:28] lb_,how to make it? [15:28] cornet: just did. [15:28] Hi, could anyone help to troubleshoot why my Ubuntu 9.04 automatically reboots 9 times of 10 during the Boot-Up? And quite oftenly freezes. [15:28] Hello. I just read that the game "tetris" is licensed by "the tetris company" but did gnometris get a license from them or it thinks that it doesnt violate any of their licenses? [15:29] ansis, can you boot from the cd and run memtest and see if its bad ram === Guest18255 is now known as dab [15:29] matthewbpt: can i ask your reason for disabling swap ? [15:29] How to change tables from innodb to myisam using phpmyadmin ? [15:29] Halitech, I did the memtest, it finished without errors. [15:29] for the company : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Tetris_Company [15:29] it stresses the ssd and decreases its lifetime === dab is now known as Guest54202 [15:29] Ziber: seems that the correct command is tzconfig ... [15:30] ansis, how far does it get in the boot before it reboots? [15:30] you should also use a ramdisk for /tmp [15:30] yinlong: You see the names on the bars representing the partitions, right? I'll boot into the live cd, too [15:31] Good morning all. Does anyone have any experience using FOG imaging on Ubuntu? [15:31] hola [15:31] lb_,i don't know how to enlarge my C with gparted. [15:32] Halitech, right after I choose the OS from Grub loader [15:32] do you know which name your partition C has? (something like sda1/sda2/sdc1) [15:32] hi, I'd like to run postgresql 8.4, but that's only in the 9.10 release, is there an easy way of using a backport of the postgresql package or am I better off running the alpha version of ubuntu if I want to use the packages that are bundled in that release... [15:32] ansis, do you have windows installed and does it boot? [15:32] Halitech, I do not have windows. [15:33] lb_,dev/sda1. [15:33] ansis, ok ... can you boot an older kernel? [15:33] matthewbpt: i'm really not convinced on that argument at all - linux on workstation genreally only starts hitting swap when i fill my RAM up. if you were to fill ram up with no swap then the kernel may start to kill off random processes in an attemtpt to gain some memory back (and it's often not that intelligent about it) [15:34] Halitech, nop the same applies to older kernels. Where to diagnose Hard Disk errors? [15:34] swap still gets filled up even when ram isnt full... [15:34] !swap [15:34] matthewbpt: a better solution IMO would be to set vm.swappiness accordingly so it doesn't hit the swap [15:34] swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info [15:34] ansis, might want to look into ultimate boot cd to test the drive [15:35] cornet: true you could do that too, but i chose to disable swap because also the ssds have less disk space, so the space is more precious [15:35] lb_,and then? [15:35] yinlong: have you tried rightclicking on /dev/sda1 in gparted and the " [15:35] i [15:35] yinlong: "Size/Remove"? [15:36] yinlong: Resize/Move, of course [15:36] yinlong: then there's the dialog. You cannot make it bigger from here, I suspect since another partition ought to start right thereafter [15:36] lb_,i don't the mark of Resize/Move. [15:37] Does anyone have any experience using FOG imaging on Ubuntu? [15:37] yinlong: what do you mean? [15:37] lb_,sorry,i mean i don't see the mark of Resize/Move . [15:37] Halitech, actually I am thinking that this might be a Hardware error. Right now It booted! I bet that after 10minutes it will freeze again. Where to look for bootup error logs? [15:38] ansis, /var/logs [15:38] does any1 here use comcast broadband...what download upload speed do you limit your bandwidth so that they wont throttle or disconnect you [15:38] lb_,i mean the choice Resize/Move is dark! [15:38] http://zpaste.org/115 <-- Does anyone know what that means and how to correct it? (This is from my secondary DNS server which I'm trying to set up) === Jon is now known as Guest89839 [15:39] yinlong: Are you using Ubuntu as LiveCD? [15:39] lb_,no,i am in real ubuntu [15:40] Halitech, Ok, this line looks suspicious gdmgreeter[3020]: segfault at 13a ip 00007fadf3bfbaa3 [15:40] kudi> I don't have comcast, :-) but I've read they look closely at the upload; what speed triggers action I don't know. Perhaps you could look into Verizon. [15:40] yinlong: If not, make sure you are running gparted with root rights and that you do have selected the right partition. How does it look for you? Here's a screenshot of my gparted: http://i25.tinypic.com/euilao.gif [15:40] sudo dpkg -l | grep , what is the significance of result ? [15:41] lb_,let me see [15:41] ansis, I used to see similiar errors when I was using a drive that was dying [15:42] Halitech, that Ultimate Boot CD will verify this? [15:42] (the HDD) [15:42] I'm on Ubuntu, I use a terminal and "cp" to copy a directory from my ext3 drive to a sdcard with a vfat partition. Why does CASE change for half of the files?!

If I "run" /etc/init.d/rc.local, it starts Virtualbox but if I reboot, it doesn't. Anyone suggest what might be wrong? [15:47] nickolaus: just take everything fro myour desktop, and stick it into your documents dir, and voila, clean desktop... [15:48] lb_,how to send it to you? [15:48] thevdi: did you supply the full path to virtualbox in rc.local? [15:48] yinlong: yfrog.com [15:48] yinlong: if you can't dcc, just upload it to tinypic or some image hoster [15:49] yinlong: this is how gparted could look like after some changes: http://img5.yfrog.com/img5/3051/vm2r.gif [15:49] sipior, no. I can see why that is important ;-) [15:50] thevdi, its /etc/rc.local [15:50] isnt it? [15:50] duffydack, are you sure? OK, I'm actually using Mint but it should be the same, right? [15:50] lb_,but i don't know how to upload the image into a url,i don't have a website myself. [15:50] im not too good with that stuff [15:50] thevdi, well thats what ive used in the past [15:51] thevdi, it will be,yes [15:51] duffydack: both exist. /etc/rc.local is run, if it exists. [15:51] duffydack, in some of the examples I've seen, it's said about /etc/init.d/rc.local. Do you know what the difference might be ? [15:52] duffydack: to be clearer, the job of /etc/init.d/rc.local is to run /etc/rc.local :-) [15:52] thevdi, no idea. all I know is I used /etc/rc.local when I had something startup [15:52] hello can some one give me directions on what to do to stop random re loging in and out 9.4 [15:52] yinlong>Depending on your IRC client, try right clicking on lb_'s nick then click on "send file" [15:52] sipior, which is best to use for startup?

I'll try it with the full path, too. Thanks all [15:53] Dunge: the price for MS compatibility i guess [15:54] erUSUL : When I create a file in windows all in uppercase, it don't transform it automatically on mount.. [15:54] lb_,get it. [15:54] only linux mount do that [15:54] kim_: what do you mean by random logging in and out? [15:54] kinda strange if you ask me [15:55] "Display the short name as is; store a long name when the short name is not all upper case."

I installed openvpn and openvpn-admin, but I can't figure out what I need to do to set it up. If someone could point me in the right direction that would be great. [16:44] I didn't have to expect to reformat my system again [16:45] Halitech, olde_yellar: That's strange, alot of cards seem to be getting dumped [16:45] kim_: Halitech: rifht I'm outta here - good luck!

[17:12] Switch to the 'synaptic' package manager to resolve this conflic [17:12] sunshinepants, lol, no... its a very good 3d game played with your browser. [17:12] how do I log in as root? [17:12] sunshinepants, try it. [17:12] Spkr2Cmputrs_, you should not [17:13] I need to put a program in /usr/bin [17:13] racha, ok, close the add/remove programs and open Synaptic and search for it [17:13] Spkr2Cmputrs_, which program [17:13] bazhang, how do i switch to that driver? [17:13] think i`ll have a quick game now [17:13] warsow [17:13] !info warsow [17:13] warsow (source: warsow): fast paced 3D first person shooter. In component multiverse, is optional.

[17:13] Hi how can I lower the screen resolution/refresh rate when I can't see because my monitor can't handle it after activating nvidia drivers? Jaunty, geforce fx5200, driver ver 173? [17:13] racha, yes [17:13] Spkr2Cmputrs_, install via apt-get or synaptic [17:13] duffydack: I'm not into it.. I have tried it. doesn't feel anything like playing natively [17:14] Halitech: same difference I'm afraid... any other suggestions? [17:14] the package there is 0.42, the new version is 0.5 [17:14] Halitech, install ?:D [17:14] racha, you are using ubuntu and not kubuntu or xubuntu? [17:14] bazhang, i was looking at what driver i needed earlier and the "sis" one is what i concluded [17:14] halitech, yes [17:14] Spkr2Cmputrs_: commands can be issued with superuser privileges by prefixing them with "sudo" (or gksudo for those involving a gui) [17:15] bazhang, i am just don't know how to switch to it [17:15] Halitech, i just get my CD from mail today :) [17:15] racha, but it doesn't tell you what the conflicting software is? [17:15] Does anyone know of a program that can test whether a cd-rw / dvd-rw disk is bad or not? i.e. badblocks for optical drives? (that wouldn't work would it?) I suspect burning problems are due to bad disks, but I'd like to confirm that, & maybe see if I ought to avoid certain brands. [17:15] Halitech, no :S [17:15] racha, ok, close synaptic and open the terminal again [17:15] Halitech, its possible u can access my pc with "Remote Desktop" or something ?:D [17:15] german romm?

[17:16] ok,sorry [17:16] racha, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [17:17] How can I activate nvidia drivers but have a resolution/refresh rate that my monitor can handle when I reboot? [17:17] I am installing ubuntu , can I share /home of previous installed fedora , its ext4 partition. [17:18] hackoo, yes [17:18] hackoo: yes. choose not to format the /home partition when defining partitions. [17:18] System---->Administration----> Hardware Drivers [17:18] are there any lightweight rss readers (hell, preferably all it has is a tray icon that notifies me of new entries) for GNOME? I don't feel like grabbing a couple hundred megs of KDE libs along with Akregator [17:19] hackoo, you can have some errors on gnome, but you can fix that by cleanning the folders .gnome .gnome2 and .gconf in your home folder. This will clean you desktop preferences [17:19] mneptok: but I heared that ubuntu kernel dont support ext4 [17:19] mneptok: jaunty does afaik [17:19] Sidewinder1: I've done that and activated the recomended driver but on rebooting for the driver to work the res/Hz is too high for my monitor to display [17:20] clearscreen: Opera has it built-in, and also there's liferea, which seems to be good. === FunnyLookinHat_ is now known as FunnyLookinHat [17:20] (not sure if it has a tray icon) [17:20] Halitech, done :) [17:20] Halitech: disabling compiz makes the same difference for Youtube videos... any other suggestions, by any chance? [17:20] Uuu: cool, I'll have a look. Thanks... Also found this through apt for anyone that is interested: 'yarssr - RSS reader for the notification area' [17:21] racha, ok, now run sudo apt-get install w32codecs flashplugin-nonfree [17:21] Halitech: sorry, I'll let you finish helping racha first...

[17:23] Halitech, Agein nothing :S [17:23] in ubuntu [17:23] Halitech: I know, but it used to work under Windows, so I know i t can be done [17:23] heogen, aria2 [17:23] racha, have you installed the drivers for your video card? [17:24] I have a problem. I can't eject a (bad) cd I was erasing. Had to kill k3b & the drive's LED is still flashing & doesn't respond to sudo eject or the eject button. I could restart ubuntu, but I'd like to know how to solve this if I had something uninterruptible going on. [17:24] it is in synaptic? [17:24] heogen, yes [17:24] paddeltje, sis writes drivers for windows, linux isnt so lucky [17:24] bashang thank you [17:24] bazhand let me try it [17:24] Halitech, Video work fine :S ... it instaled it Auto. i didnt installed anything ... just a sec i will come back in 2 min [17:24] Halitech: that's a bummer. I'll see if I can find any alternatives. Thanks a lot though! [17:25] Never mind, about 3 minutes later it ejects...:S [17:25] paddeltje, I'd suggest if it was a desktop on getting a new card but not possible on a laptop [17:26] alazyworkaholic>Many CD?DVD players have a small hole to stick the end of a paper clip in to manually eject. [17:27] Halitech, And when i start test on "Sound" i dont hear all my 5.1 ... :S [17:27] Halitech: no such luck and I am already using the best alternative I could find, which is the xorg-driver-sis671_0.9_i386 driver... [17:28] I will start to hate ubuntu just because i cant lisn music :( [17:29] racha, in the terminal, run alsamixer and make sure nothing is muted [17:29] racha, don't blame Ubuntu because something doesn't work properly, blame the hardware manufactorers for not releasing drivers or specs so we can create drivers that work properly [17:30] racha> Don't hate ubuntu; it's the dilatory manufacturers that won't write drivers for linux, just winbloze. [17:30] i knowe :( [17:30] I will kill them all :D [17:30] Nah, just don't buy their products. :-) [17:30] Can anyone give me an idea why LVM says I have 300gigs free yet 0 extents free? http://dpaste.com/92138/ [17:31] racha: after 3 days of no sound and trying all the fixes, I finally downloaded the latest ALSA drivers compiled and installed and now I have sound [17:32] I'm having an issue with a package that borke [17:32] Halitech, When i start test with OSS all my 5.1 Work ...

The base package wont inststall because of an issue with another package. I want to remove the package that is causing the issut but it wont let me [17:32] majuk: Please don't post the same question in multiple channels [17:33] record my desktop...is this best one to use [17:33] Halitech, nothing like allways maybe to try some mp3's ?

How do I make it use en-US? [17:40] [17:40] racha, I'm not sure, mine worked after plugging in the card [17:40] iceroot; i installed it...and restarted my firefox [17:40] iceroot: more info; OOword whines about an invalid jre when i open up a word doc that i opened before with OOword [17:41] rambo298: java -version tells what?

[17:43] rambo298: i dont know, so just install java [17:43] Halitech, if you can remember from a few hours ago - I'm updating an older machine.. I put in the 8.04 cd, click upgrade and it says "Can not upgrade - An upgrade from 'feisty' to 'hardy' is not supported with this tool" [17:43] Halitech, i cant belive they dont have drivers for ubuntu :S [17:43] racha: companies for e.g. [17:43] bn43> Sorry I couldn't be of more assistence. :-( [17:43] Day 3: I'm still looking for someone to help me adjust screen brightness on my hp laptop.....I'll be blind by next week at this rate.

[17:44] So any1 here knowe something about 5.1 ? and can help me ? [17:44] In the last couple of days I've noticed Ubuntu get "slow" after a day's use, and by slow I mean applications take several seconds to come up (10s perhaps). Any bad updates happen lately?

[17:48] racha, most times the devs are working on getting basic functionality so depending on who is working on the driver for this card, getting 5.1 to work may not be a priority for them ... you could try playing around with the mixer settings and see if there is any settings there that might help [17:49] iceroot; i have enabled shockwave flash [17:49] racha>You can always try thr forums.
