[00:00] dynavox: Much of the time, partitions get autodetected, and they will mount once you select them in Places. Otherwise, you need to look up the device name using fdisk and mount it somewhere. [00:00] ramis12: 9.04 in a virtual machine to try, and 9.10 on a real psyical isntall, that sounds good to me :) also you can get Virtualbox support in #vbox [00:00] shane2peru yes, now once it's done what do i do, you said we could recover everything from where i'm at and so while it's copying i'm opening a notepad file to list any commands for the promptt [00:00] Hey. I just installed Ubuntu and everything works fine except for the sound. It just sounds weird. [00:00] I wonder if its safe enough to give Karmic a shot. [00:00] seidos, make sure you don't keep that permanant on yoru box, wouldn't want you breaking things [00:00] LucidGuy: don't get it yet, unless your a developer [00:00] zebastian i did try but they are awfully quite all the time...i have been trying for 1 month now [00:00] ramis12: you could also change the networking type from bridged to the other option.. also #vbox is great for vbox support.. [00:00] LucidGuy: or a proper Ubuntu tester [00:00] scott_ino2: didn't work for me either. You probably need to be logged in as root to do it [00:00] zebastian: right, do you remember where you saved the ati file you downloaded? [00:00] why can't ubuntu mount hibernated windows partitions? [00:01] which is impossible [00:01] LucidGuy: If you want to get it early maybe the Beta on October 1st [00:01] scott_ino2: probably, like you said, to keep users from breaking the system === juli__ is now known as Moloset [00:01] LucidGuy: it should work well enough if you're not using it for a production system [00:01] shane2peru no freaking clue [00:01] LucidGuy: I think it's the first === Guest78520 is now known as Flayke [00:01] scott_ino2: impossible? [00:01] Im itching to reload this buggy install of ubuntu .. but not sure if I can wait till Karmic becomes stable [00:01] I have a Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) sound card [00:01] zebastian: ok, do you have internet access? [00:01] zebastian: on the laptop? [00:01] lstarnes LucidGuy well installing updates from the repo, it seems won't just give the new features, when alpha [00:01] seidos, well.. not impossible [00:01] Can anybody help me. I sure it's nothing, I just don't know how to start solving it. [00:02] LucidGuy: well then Beta [00:02] seidos, i'll just have to put it in acpi/acd.d instead i suppose [00:02] more work for me than simply echoing [00:02] shane2peru, i logged on recovery mode and from the recovery mode menu i selected prompt shell root with networking, so i'm assuming i do [00:02] LucidGuy: or maybe alpha, but you will have to clean install when the final is out really for sure probably, if you do an alpha [00:02] !9.10 | LucidGuy [00:02] LucidGuy: Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 29th, 2009 - Karmic WILL break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [00:02] sebsebseb: I thinik there may have been a feature freeze [00:02] Anaisita: Define "weird" [00:02] zebastian: we can re-download it if you do, with: wget -c https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/674/9206/0/www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/ati-driver-installer-9-9-x86.x86_64.run [00:02] scott_ino2: thankfully permission was denied for me :) [00:02] Halitech: FYI, this is what I was after: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/karmic-changes/ [00:02] sebsebseb, LucidGuy as long as you keep things updated as they come out, no fresh install is required [00:02] hey there team is it any hard to learn linux shell commands [00:02] Thanks for your help [00:03] lstarnes: well the second dose of art work is quite a bit later on, the first dose has already been [00:03] zebastian: that will download the correct file again, and we can install it from there, and that should fix all your problems [00:03] seidos, well i figured you kinda knew what you were getting yourself into ;-) [00:03] Halitech, when you say update you mean keep up with apt-get update/dist-upgrade right? [00:03] bobertdos, I don't know, it doesn't sound right. It's like i'm using crappy speakers. [00:03] !ask | Anaisita [00:03] Anaisita: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [00:03] linux [00:03] forever [00:03] shane2peru, you're lovely (I just pasted that command to the notepad file for when it's done copying files) [00:03] LucidGuy, correct [00:03] sebsebseb: I hate ati. :) last computer I will ever by with ati. :) [00:03] Halitech LucidGuy I have had Karmic since alpha 4, and it seems that most of the updates haven't done much good, for example I don't have that fancyish new boot up screen when Ubuntu is loading [00:04] zebastian: do you have high speed, it is a 95MB file so it may take a few minutes, how is the copying coming? [00:04] Anaisita: First, bring up a terminal, type in alsamixer, and check your volume levels. [00:04] sebsebseb, thats why its still not ready yet ;) [00:04] LucidGuy: yes alpha so bugs etc, that's expected, and this isn't the first time I done alpha, but like after last time, I said I woudn't do it untill beta, but I still did, next time round I will stay with Karmic as host, and virtual machine the development version, and do a clean install as each one comes out [00:04] Halitech: exactly [00:05] Halitech: and you were basically saying it will be fine to upgrade probably [00:05] * scott_ino2 sigh... all i wanted was better battery life [00:05] scott_ino2: I figured it probably wouldn't work for me either :) [00:05] sebsebseb, once the final release is out, apt-get update dist-upgrade should get you the final release [00:05] scott_ino2: I've been running with my battery removed [00:05] hello again, what is a good company that issues laptops with pre-installed ubuntu...price is not an issue [00:05] seidos, yeah im just gonna break down and buy solid state and get a new battery since it's under warranty [00:06] Halitech: maybe, maybe not, probably best to clean install anyway once the final is out [00:06] Halitech: plus I got a nice seperate /home so that won't be difficult to do [00:06] I have a problem with Wicd where it connects to my [00:06] wireless(can access other computers on LAN etc) but i dont [00:06] get internet. Anyone familiar with this problem? [00:06] bobertdos, haha yes!! the pcm level was too high! It sounds great now!! [00:06] scott_ino2: I was thinking of getting solid state, but I don't really need it, and don't have money to spend on things that I don't really need [00:06] Thanks bobertdos === gordon is now known as gordon142 [00:06] dynavox: my pleasure [00:07] ramis12: Any PC maker will put just about any IBM/*nix system you want, just a matter of pre-order. [00:07] How do I get the Creative Fatal1ty USB Gaming headset to work in Ubuntu? [00:07] oops [00:07] Anaisita: my pleasure [00:07] sebsebseb, in theory it should but then again my luck with theory hasn't been so good lately :( [00:07] zebastian: did you get the data copied? [00:07] With my Atheros-based internal wireless, Ubuntu drops the connection and reconnects at least once every five minutes [00:08] seidos, the prices have come down a lot though... maybe soon [00:08] gordon142: are you using ndiswrapper? [00:08] There is both an open-source and a proprietary driver available for the card (that ship with Ubuntu). Both have the same effect [00:08] Whats the best and coolest graphics tool?compiz or beryl?I got ubuntu 9.04 as guest in vmware [00:08] Halitech: when I did 9.04 and started with alpha6, I was left with with one or two or so issues from it, untill I clean installed, by the way off topic and I did pm you [00:08] kyle33, it's all just compiz now [00:08] The issue only occurs after installing all software updates, the card works fine after installing 9.04 from the latest available ISO [00:09] kyle33: Beryl is no longer made [00:09] !who | gordon142 [00:09] something in the updates breaks it [00:09] gordon142: 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 :) [00:09] kyle33: Beryl was a fork of Compiz Fushion, and then it got forked back into Compiz [00:09] kyle33, or compiz-fusion to be more precise [00:09] The only thing in the system log is "roamed from to """ [00:09] kyle33: they became one [00:09] I'm not [00:09] Just asking the channel [00:09] shane2peru: yeah Nividia :) [00:09] I supposed I should consolidate the entire problem into a single post though [00:09] Do i just use "sudo apt-get install compiz-fusion" [00:10] zebastian: ok, here are the next commands: updatedb && locate fglrx-uninstall.sh [00:10] shane2peru i am sorry i forgot to plug the laptop and battery died [00:10] i will need that command again for the driver [00:10] i couldn't save it [00:10] !compiz | kyle33 [00:10] kyle33: Compiz (compositing window manager), for a howto see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager and more help #compiz [00:10] I recently installed wicd on my ubuntu 9.04 system, but when i connect to a wireless i only get LAN and no internet, anyone know what to do? :) [00:10] zebastian: ha ha, ok, no prob [00:11] ok will it work for me?I have vista host, ubuntu guest in vmware [00:11] zebastian; plug it in and we are going to have to mount the hdd again [00:11] What's the command to release and renew IP address from cli? [00:11] scunizi: sudo dhclient $interface [00:11] shane2peru i mean [00:11] not that computer [00:12] kyle33: That page has most all the data on it that may concern that. [00:12] shane2peru that one is still backing up, it had this computer's power chord hence this one died [00:12] for some reason I'm unable to mount an NTFS partition (but not getting any warning) in 9.04 [00:12] zebastian: I gotta run be back in a bit, here is the command [00:12] mneptok: wasn't there another like ifup ipdown.. or something similar? [00:12] zebastian: we can re-download it if you do, with: wget -c https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/674/9206/0/www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/ati-driver-installer-9-9-x86.x86_64.run [00:12] shane2peru i've got them both plugged to the wall [00:12] shane2peru: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:12] scunizi: ifup/ifdown brings the interface up and down. turning the interface off and on. dhclient is just DHCP. [00:13] ok shane2peru if you're going to be off, what do i do after i enter that command after backing up is done? [00:13] mneptok: would they accomlish the same if I'm unplugging from one connection and moving the computer to another? [00:13] I recently installed wicd on my ubuntu 9.04 system, but when i connect to a wireless i only get LAN and no internet, anyone know what to do? [00:14] shane2peru !!! it finished backing up [00:14] hold on [00:14] scunizi: yes. [00:14] mneptok: thanks [00:14] Does ctrl+alt+del shut down or reboot the system? [00:15] ifup and stuff is on this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1248734 [00:15] CoJaBo-Aztec, if I remember right, that key combination has been disabled [00:15] sebsebseb can you help me follow up from shane2peru given command? [00:15] !dontzap [00:15] To re-enable the Ctrl+Alt+Backspace combination that restarts your X server, you can install the "dontzap" package and use the command « sudo dontzap --disable ». The combination Alt+SysRq+K can also be used to obtain a similar effect. [00:15] zebastian0: maybe seidos can [00:16] CoJaBo-Aztec, nevermind, its ctrl-alt-backspace [00:16] Enter text here...questo?

[00:18] kdeplasma-addons question: Is it safe to have this package removed from a standard kde desktop system? Reason: I want to have apt-get cease downloading the kdebase-workspace-wallpapers package, because it is large (45MB) for my inet connection. [I'm running KUbuntu 904 with the ppa enabled for the latest KDE package updates.] It was suggested to me that I apt-get remove that package, & see what other packages will be removed, or [00:18] When I did "apt-get -s remove kdebase-workspace-wallpapers" it said: "The following packages will be REMOVED: kdebase-workspace-wallpapers kdeplasma-addons plasma-wallpapers-addons". The only concern I can think of is that removing "kdeplasma-addons" might be bad for my system. Your suggestions, please? [00:19] rejohn: it might remove something you don't want removed... [00:19] seidos, first off, i just backed up all my files to the external hard drive, i want to unplug it as i have a laptop(this oen) on the desktop and the other on my lap and hanging from it is the hard drive, so how can i unmount it [00:19] right click, unmount? [00:20] Does ctrl+alt+del shut down or reboot the system? [00:20] zebastian0: libtech has a point. can't you right click the device and unmount it? [00:20] CoJaBo-Aztec: shouldn't do anything in X [00:20] Is there a shortcut i can use to open the terminal?like cntrl+alt+something? [00:20] seidos: that's what I'm asking - & i do know this is #ubuntu, not #kde ;) - but do you know if removing the "kdeplasma-addons" would be problem causing? [00:20] seidos, i am on recovery mode, shell promt networking mode [00:20] x [00:20] no gui [00:20] kyle33: you can set one if you want, im not sure if there is a shortcut by default [00:20] jrib: In text terminal. Seems its the only way to do a shutdown :/ [00:21] Or reboot, have no idea which it will do [00:21] zebastian0: umount /something/something [00:21] CoJaBo-Aztec: well doesn't "sudo halt" work? [00:21] jrib: I cant sudo. [00:21] zebastian0: let me try in my terminal [00:21] CoJaBo-Aztec: why not...? [00:21] zebastian0: did you fix the xserver? [00:21] CoJaBo-Aztec: (it reboots by the way) [00:21] jrib: Sudo is broken, and any attempt to fix it would require sudo. [00:21] bro, not yet [00:21] kyle33: You can set that any way you wish, Preferences>Main Menu can do it. [00:22] seidos: he is in a shell, uhmmm read the back log? [00:22] zebastian0: type mount, it will list your mounted "devices", then type umount devicepath [00:22] zebastian ok, I'm back [00:22] ok thanks [00:22] sebsebseb: time [00:22] CoJaBo-Aztec: broken how? Reboot in recovery mode (from grub menu) to fix it [00:22] Is there something like task manager in ubuntu? [00:22] seidos: ok shane2peru is back, so they can help him I expect [00:22] 4:25 [00:22] CoJaBo-Aztec, did you look at the directions here? http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo [00:22] zebastian0: did you fix the xserver? [00:22] can anybody tell me whats the commend to stop the annoying update manager again [00:22] jrib: Problem is I want to shut it down safely first. [00:22] shane2peru, how do i unmount the external hard drive now that's finished backing up [00:22] zebastian: got your data copied over? [00:22] zebastian0: run sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [00:22] zebastion0 umount /media/disk [00:22] bro: no he didn't and is probably going to re install [00:23] bro, not yet, i'm jabbing at it with the help of shane2peru [00:23] x' [00:23] zebastian0: did installing the proprietary drivers before mess things up? [00:23] kyle33: Yes there is, System>Administration >System Monitor [00:23] zebastian0: is that what got you into this mess? [00:23] This is a mess o_O [00:23] It froze, i think its vmware and not ubuntu though [00:23] Hey guys. I have ATI Catalyst with an ATI mobility X1600 running on Ubuntu Intrepid. Recently, I got a new monitor. I now have one 1680x1050 monitor and one 1900x1200, however, when using them (either dual or individually), the catalyst refuses to go above 1680x1050 for the second monitor, even though it has 1900x1200 listed under "Maximum Resolution". How can I get it working? [00:24] CoJaBo-Aztec: how is sudo broken? [00:24] shane2peru, bash: unmount command not found [00:24] I deinstalled vista and installed Ubuntu and when I did my sound stopped working. My computer is the dell studio Laptop and am using the 64 version of Ubuntu. I am brave and will stick this soundlessness out but I need to know there is hope. [00:24] zebastian0: umount not unmount [00:24] jrib: sudo[9067]: segfault at 0 ip b7c5db0b sp bfe80410 error 4 in pam_smbpass.so[b7c01000+12a000] [00:24] zebastian0: really? that is odd [00:24] bro, shane2peru you surely know more than i do,m i think you might have been right on about hte overheating drivers [00:24] Might just need a reboot to fix, tryting to make sure I can shut down safely tho first. [00:24] shane2peru: he typed unmount not umount [00:25] * CoJaBo-Aztec cant umount anything eiteher :/ [00:25] seidos, ok i just typed umount and it went back to the prompt, is it safe to remove the ext hard drive yet? [00:25] zebastian0: it is : umount /media/disk not unmount just umount [00:25] seidos: thanks, I didn't catch that. [00:25] hi, where do I find the Karmic schedule? Specifically, I'm looking for freeze dates [00:25] * CoJaBo-Aztec has like, 1 billion screen shells open [00:25] hello. how do i stop issues with kacpi taking 99% of cpu? [00:25] sandy|lurk: a quick Google and it will come up [00:25] sebsebseb: you would think so... [00:25] zebastian0: then run wget -c https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/674/9206/0/www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/ati-driver-installer-9-9-x86.x86_64.run [00:25] shane2peru ok i did that [00:26] zebastian0: hold on, let me get my usb drive, to test to make sure. I'm pretty sure (off the top of my head) that it will return a message verifying the drive is unmounted when you execute the umount /media/device command [00:26] sandy|lurk: hmm [00:26] sebsebseb: really, I did google before I came here, and I am still googling in the interest of time, but have had no luck [00:26] shane2peru hold on i'm a slow typist on two laptops [00:26] zebastian0: no prob, that is a long link too. [00:26] hmm [00:26] sandy|lurk: yeah it doesn't have that much info on it [00:27] zebastian0: try: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -p high xserver-xorg [00:27] sandy|lurk: also the Karmic channal at the moment is #ubuntu+1 [00:27] does anyone know when another kernel update is gonna be out for Ubuntu? [00:27] okay, I'll ask in there. thanks sebsebseb [00:27] CoJaBo-Aztec: ctrl-alt-del should work fine to reboot and then load recovery mode [00:27] zebastian0: after you get that, you are going to need to follow these instructions: https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/674/9206/0/www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/linux_cat99-inst.pdf === azazel_ is now known as Azaz3l [00:27] zebastian0: if there were no errors, it should be safe to remove [00:27] zebastian0: I gotta run [00:27] ah, right in their topic: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KarmicReleaseSchedule [00:27] sandy|lurk: ok [00:27] peace out [00:27] sandy|lurk: yes that's the link [00:28] anyone know if I can multiple files at once using devede? [00:28] jrib: I want to turn the system completely off first. I suppose I can stop it before it starts to boot again? [00:28] zebastian0: you can try bro suggestion too, but you are going to need to install the proprietary driver or it will continue to overheat with videos etc [00:28] bro: it was proprietary video drivers that is keeping zebastian0 out of xorg?

[00:29] seidos, i understand, that's why i told him to reset the xserver to the default state [00:29] shane2peru thanks so much for oyur help [00:30] mmInd_, ok, should work fine [00:30] seidos: he installed something, and it probably should be removed [00:30] zebastian0: no prob [00:30] i got the following outputt [00:30] sorry i have a problem with aide... i need documentation but not for installation xD i need a document about how i can make my own rules and what is each parameter :s [00:30] wget unable to resolve host address failed name or service not known [00:30] Halitech, how do you add more than one at a time?

[00:32] can anybody help my install these drivers [00:32] zebastian0: you should try bro's command [00:32] mmInd_, ok, when you open devede, you will be set to add your first video, after you add the first one, click on the add on the left side (sorry, got mine running right now doing a conversion so can't look at it) and then add your second file, repeat until done [00:32] sudo dpkg-reconfigure -p high xserver-xorg [00:32] zebastian0: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -p high xserver-xorg [00:32] jrib: well it isnt finding what i would think should be in a .folder . . . [00:33] Noturno99: Pidgin should be installed by default [00:33] mmInd_, if you want to break it down to say 10 files running together, add the first 10 files to the first chapter then add another chapter [00:33] Noturno99: if you done Ubuntu, which Linux? [00:33] zopiac: pastebin [00:33] jrib: what to pastebin? it isnt finding what i want [00:34] Halitech, is there a way to add all 100 to one title without doing each one separately? [00:34] zopiac: so pastebin your command, it not finding what you want (the output of your command), and an ls /path/to/what/you/expected/it/to/find [00:34] seidos, i got the following output, warning overwriting posssibly customised configuration file, back up in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.200909141720033 [00:34] mmInd_, yeah, just keep adding them to the first chapter [00:34] zopiac: or you're not sure it's there? [00:35] jrib: im not sure its there, and it isnt a single directory [00:35] mmInd_, I'm not sure what the limit is for files but you should see a progress bar in regards to file size or percentage of disk, when that hits 120 you'll have a full disk [00:35] zebastian0: that's not a big deal, a backup of xorg.conf is fine [00:35] seidos, unrelated: can i unplug the external drive yet? [00:35] zopiac: right, but find does search in hidden directories. But you could easily test this yourself by creating a small hidden directory and putting a file in there and using find. So it's not there if find says it isn't [00:35] seidos, just letting you know [00:35] yeah, it would have been easier [00:36] Halitech, okay thanks for your help [00:36] didnt think of it though, thanks [00:36] zebastian0: did you type umount /media/device without errors? [00:36] seidos yes [00:36] zebastian0: then yes :) [00:36] zopiac: no problem [00:36] mmInd_, np [00:36] seidos, whenever you're ready i'm ready [00:36] zebastian0: what is the name of your external hard disk? [00:36] zebastian0: type startx [00:37] so i was trying to compile a driver... but i get errors.. anyone want to take a look? http://pastebin.com/m4f6dfe87 [00:37] seidos, didn't work, blue, pixelated strip on top of the screen, nothing else [00:37] zebastian0: but x is up? [00:38] seidos...i guess, it went onto a black screen with a stripy pixelated blue line at the top [00:38] it might be up but it ain't running [00:38] zebastian0: kill xorg in a terminal [00:39] seidos...er, i was in root prompt shell with networking mode [00:39] how do i get out of x at all? === LinoSP|Away is now known as LinoSP [00:40] zebastian0: root prompt shell? does control-alt-f1 display another shell? [00:40] hello. my first time here. is there a specific channel for hardware problems? [00:40] seidos: no he is in recovery mode [00:40] martin_randau: there is a ##hardware channel [00:40] that that [00:40] sebsebseb: is there a way to kill xorg without rebooting? [00:41] zebastian0: try rebooting [00:41] seidos: shoudn't he nano on xorg.conf and tell us exactly what drivers are loaded? [00:41] seidos: well I guess xorg isn't even running, since he is in recovery mode in one of those shells === m4v_ is now known as m4v [00:41] seidos, yes sir [00:41] bro: he said he tried vesa mode already, vesa mode should work regardless of proprietary drivers he installed [00:41] zebastian0: hang on [00:41] sebsebseb: I told him to type startx [00:41] seidos: didn't know that [00:42] sebsebseb: had I known he was in a root shell, I wouldn't have told him to do that :o [00:42] seidos: shane2peru was helping him mount his external hard disk in the recovery mode shell [00:42] seidos: and stuff like that [00:42] sebsebseb: ah [00:42] seidos: well I guess you got a back log, plus the offical log will be up soon, if it's not already, with the stuff from earleir [00:42] seidos, sebsebseb, bro, back on prompt root shell with networking(recovery mode) [00:42] what are your favorite themes? [00:43] zebastian0: have you considered booting normally now? [00:43] is there a way to get rid of the "Favorites" tab from the KDE Start menu? [00:43] seidos: that was his whole problem as well, he coudn't boot Ubuntu normalley since the xorg issue [00:43] zebastian0: do you still have device as vesa in xorg.conf? [00:43] seidos, if i do the same black screen with the pixelated stripe will come up [00:43] as in x don't work [00:43] zebastian0: that's why I asked about your xorg.conf [00:43] zebastian0: at this point I' [00:44] seidos, how do i check if i still have vesa in xorg.conf [00:44] zebastian0: I'm not sure if the problem before was from trying to start xorg with root priviledges or the device your using in xorg.conf [00:44] zebastian0: sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf [00:45] zebastian0: off the top of my head, under Device, identifier should be set to "vesa" [00:45] seidos, no sight of vesa anywhere about, or at least not where i'd put it [00:45] anyone here? [00:45] Fendarilx: over a thousand [00:46] zebastian, in device, at driver, what does it say? those should be your drivers now [00:46] zebastian0: you have to type "vesa" where your current device is listed (ati?) [00:46] zebastian0: maybe it would have been easier to just put in the live cd and get your external hard disk working on it and move data over to it, and re install, but then you also don't learn stuff [00:46] if my ubuntu pc doesnt receive any requests after about 10 mins it rejects all inbound requests [00:46] well tell me why my PATH variable resets and my enviornment variables are deleted on restart [00:46] then I will leave [00:46] has anyone else had this problem ? [00:47] no only you [00:47] Fendarilx: you need to set them in your ~/.profile [00:47] pixlbox: it may be an issue with your router [00:47] bro: zebast + tab = zebastian0 [00:47] kk [00:47] sebsebseb, that's what i had suggested a long time ago [00:47] seidos, what is your take on sebsebseb's suggestion? [00:47] the only way to get it working again, is if i then send some kind of outbound request [00:48] seidos: what do you mean? i'm not used to irc... [00:48] zebastian0: how much time do you have, and do you want to learn? [00:48] bro: type zebast + tab [00:48] seidos, ok [00:48] this is my profile lstarnes [00:48] if [ -d "$HOME/bin" ]; then [00:48] PATH="$HOME/euphoria-4.0b2/bin:$HOME/bin:$PATH" [00:48] export EUDIR="$HOME/euphoria-4.0b2" [00:48] fi [00:48] Fendarilx: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:48] seidos, i have all day long for as long as you have that too...shane2peru didn'thave as long as i have [00:48] Fendarilx: you need to export $PATH [00:49] EUDIR is my own exported variable [00:49] for a program [00:49] Fendarilx: but you must export $PATH [00:49] can someone help me setup .chd files for sdmame? [00:49] ok im lost [00:49] zebastian0: I have time, off and on until I get a job :) [00:49] i thought path was there [00:49] it only happens with that computer thought [00:49] zebastian0, to save nano ctrl+o, to close ctrl+x, after you've done editing [00:49] though* [00:50] bro, done editing? what sort of editing? what should i write under identifier? currently it reads configured video device, seidos, great! [00:50] Can anyone help with Kopete? It keeps disconnecting when I log into icq network [00:51] Neroon: yeah Kopete can be a bit weird, hence why I prefer Pidgin, but there's also licq [00:51] !info licq [00:51] licq (source: licq): ICQ client (base files).

[00:52] sebsebseb: I'd use licq, but it has another bug, I really hate .. [00:52] scunizi: empathy is available in jaunty also [00:52] Fendarilx: export $PATH [00:52] Neroon: What's that? [00:52] ah [00:52] Fendarilx: ^ that line [00:52] Neroon: try irssi [00:52] sebsebseb: It just doesnt list me as online [00:52] zebastian0, bro: http://paste.ubuntu.com/271277/, this is how I think he should enter vesa. Next to identifier. [00:52] oh and is the EUDIR valid? [00:52] checked my router, changed the ip address of my computer and its still doing the same thing [00:52] i defined it [00:52] scunizi: IRSSI can do ICQ I guess not [00:52] on the same line [00:52] as export [00:52] Fendarilx: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:52] seidos, bro, ok done, saved "vesa" and now i'm out of nano [00:53] bro: do you think typing startx in a root shell is a bad idea for zebastian0? [00:53] zebastian0: reboot now [00:53] zebastian0, look at seidos' link [00:53] sebsebseb: didn't catch that.. I was thinking irc.. acrynoms acrynoms acrynoms.. I'm going nuts lately learning new one for various disaplines [00:53] scunizi: Yep, I know. And also what the pther guy said that it is already available. Anyway ~~ I installed it and started using it but it seems not really stable [00:53] scunizi: heh ok [00:53] zebastian0: boot back into normal mode (not failsafe) [00:53] seidos, dunno, i never done it [00:54] bro: I may have done it...probably shouldn't though [00:54] can anyone help me, ?? been trying to sort this thing out all day [00:54] ok rebooting === oak is now known as Guest24327 [00:54] !ask | pixlbox [00:54] pixlbox: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily).

[00:57] zebastian0: you can't read the screen? at all? [00:57] zebastian0, take a picture of the display :) [00:57] zebastian0: check your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file to make sure the changes you made are still there [00:57] zebastian0: should still say "vesa" next to identifier [00:57] seidos, i'll to reboot for that [00:57] bro, no camera [00:57] I seem to be able to connect to here for instance using pidgin but at this time empathy is completely telling me there's a network error, at this very same time [00:57] LucidGuy: indeed 8.10 is better than 9.04 in certain ways, and they even mess with shutdown and logout in 9.04 === dbdii|hone is now known as dbdii|gone [00:58] not having it in system menu anymore, and he left [00:58] seidos, you think is safe to upgrade to karma already? one month should not make such a big difference in developement :P [00:58] !pidgin [00:58] The Instant Messenger Client Pidgin (formerly Gaim) (http://help.ubuntu.com/community/Pidgin) supports MSN, XMPP (Jabber, GTalk and variants), AIM, Gadu-Gadu, Novell Groupwise, ICQ, YIM, IRC and others.

[00:58] Neroon: When you log into ICQ on Pidgin it should have your contact list there. [00:58] bro: depends what you mean by "safe" [00:59] bro: I'm going to wait for the next lts [00:59] seidos, i had to reboot, if i don't start up on recovery mode it simply gets stuck [00:59] sebsebseb: It's just residing on my stone old win partition.

[01:08] yea [01:08] zruty: I guess your running the equivilant to the Live CD on your USB stick, hence it coming back [01:08] zruty: also if you save something on that USB, when you re load it, the thing you saved is gone?

[01:11] bro, what do you think [01:11] Neroon, yeah i was using 2 seperate X displays before but it was annoying me, i want to gety and get it working with xinerama instead [01:12] zebastian0: I would recommend seeing what other people with the same ati graphics card you have would do [01:12] zebastian0, you can go with 9.04, works flowlessly on my machine [01:12] seidos, how can i survey that? [01:12] i wrote a script that had it opening on the other display but now that obviously doesn't work [01:12] bro: what no it didn't untill you sorted your ATI issue out? [01:12] bro, yes but remember that because i didn't have the propretory drivers, it would get overheated and then get stuck? [01:12] zebastian0: see if anyone has written documentation on your card for ubuntu [01:12] how do you send a message via ssh to another IP? [01:12] wouldn't it be easier with 8.04? [01:12] seidos, not sure the ati driver problems are just related to 9.04 [01:13] beatbreaker: well I prefer it that way since the 2nd display is my tv, but the DISPLAY=:0.1 might work with xinerama as well. Tried it? Maybe with a shell or something [01:14] bro: me neither, I'm googling [01:14] zebastian0: probably [01:14] zebastian0: since an older version of xorg [01:14] sebsebseb, i just messed my x because of bad driver installation, my fault alone. the only thing that's bad is the tearing [no-vsync] effect [01:14] zebastian0: your card is old not new?

[01:17] What does it want? [01:17] beatbreaker: I see. But then I'm no help for you, since I never had xinerama running here. Sorry [01:17] bro: interesting [01:17] seidos, what? [01:18] bro: lspci | grep VGA and lspci | grep Display have almost the same line [01:18] i am having a problem with identd -- http://paste.ubuntu.com/271286/ what does it want? [01:18] anyone else? how can i get a program to open on the second screen using xinerama? [01:18] seidos, yes, but Display doen't return anything on me [01:18] bro: interesting [01:19] does anybody here know the command to stop the update manager for popping up constantly [01:19] beatbreaker: I don't know [01:19] aleron6: it should pop up when you got updates, and then you should install them [01:19] well its getting anoying give me the command [01:19] zebastian0, what's the model of the notebook? [01:19] aleron6: the wrong command? [01:19] and it been popping up to many times [01:19] aleron6: if you have updates for Ubuntu install them :) [01:19] to make it stop popping up [01:20] hey guys [01:20] zebastian0: type lspci | grep VGA it is easier than that website you linked to [01:20] aleron system/admin/update manager [01:20] aleron6: the best way to stop it popping up, is by installing the updates [01:20] how do you do the horizonal line? [01:20] aleron6: if you just leave the updates, it will remind you that there are updates [01:20] bro: it's a CQ40 [01:20] i mean [01:20] zebastian0: shift backslash [01:20] ok [01:20] but i dont need the updates [01:20] hey guys [01:20] it's a CQ40-324LA [01:21] seidos, that's the series, what's the exact model? [01:21] aleron6: you might think that you don't need them, but you should still install them, because they are security updates for Ubuntu [01:21] I got HDTV playing on my netbook [01:21] :D [01:21] How to start ... motd for example, or display any other text file, at startup, without having to start an xterm in gnome? [01:21] seidos, bro, here's it ATI Radeon™ HD 3200 [01:21] seidos, zebastian0, hd3200 series? [01:21] bro, this is my laptop [01:21] http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/ec/es/ho/WF06b/321957-321957-3329742-89318-89318-3781140-3894786.html [01:21] beatbreaker: Just to make sure: Are you sure you're running xinerama? [01:21] it's in spanish but it's intelligible [01:22] brb [01:22] is there something wrong with the feisty package repo? [01:22] i'm 100% sure i'm using xinerama, it behaves like xinerama [01:22] the settings say i'm using xinerama [01:22] josh: uhmm I guess so, since fesity is no longer supported [01:22] !7.04 | josh [01:22] josh: Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn) was the sixth release of Ubuntu. End Of Life: October 19th, 2008. See !eol and !upgrade for more details. [01:22] beatbreaker: hm [01:23] seidos, google retuns a lot of problems with hd3200, and 8.10 too [01:23] josh: maybe the server version has support just about still, but the desktop nope [01:23] seidos, http://forum.boxee.tv/showthread.php?t=1383 [01:23] * zebastian0 clicks too [01:23] sebsebseb: yes, but why then are older versions still on the server? [01:24] what's the name of the off topic channel again? [01:24] beatbreaker: But isnt dragging windows one of the basics in xinerama? [01:24] I have a server on edgy and want to upgrade [01:24] josh: Is it the server version? [01:24] don't I have to go from edgy to feisty then to jaunty? [01:24] sebsebseb: yes [01:24] josh: ok for proper servers 8.04 is recommended, that's also the LTS [01:24] !lts | josh [01:24] josh: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Hardy (Hardy Heron 8.04). The next LTS release is scheduled to be 10.04 [01:25] okay I will re-ask my question later.... [01:25] josh: if your on edgy, it would be much easier to clean install [01:25] Does somebody know the link to the site that explains to fix grub after reinstalling Windows? [01:25] bro, can you point out the log from earlier on today when shane2peru was here? [01:25] !fixgrub [01:25] GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [01:25] josh: I guess the repos are still there for versions such as 7.04 since yes got to go through versions, but they don't have to add other updates to them, except the server updates if that's still supported [01:26] !edgy [01:26] Ubuntu 6.10 (Edgy Eft) was the fifth release of Ubuntu. End Of Life: April 25th, 2008. See !eol for more details. [01:26] zebastian0, http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2009/09/15/%23ubuntu.txt [01:26] josh: that's unlucky in a way, if it had been 6.06 you could have upgraded directly to 8.04 === MK-ubuntu is now known as MK-BB [01:27] josh: now you have to go through 7.04 and 7.10 to upgrade [01:27] that's why i'm using xinerama, but i need this script to open on the second display http://pastebin.com/m6064a8aa [01:27] sebsebseb: but if I change edgy in sources.list to feisty I just get a bunch of 404 errors on apt-get update [01:28] so I can't goto 7.04 [01:28] josh: I think I have been in here before, when other people have had similar problems to yours [01:28] !7.10 [01:28] Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon) was the seventh release of Ubuntu. End Of Life: April 18th, 2009. See !eol and !upgrade for more details. [01:28] josh: It would be easier for you to clean install and put 8.04 server on [01:28] josh: or would it hmm, what kind of server you got? [01:28] blech [01:28] !eol [01:28] End-Of-Life is the time when security updates for an Ubuntu release stop. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases [01:29] I'd rather step the versions [01:29] I guess I should have kept up :) [01:29] josh: yeah with the LTS's at least [01:29] I need to have any other version other than gcc 4.3 on ubuntu. How can i do this? [01:30] Anyone have any idea why the resolution would be the same on another distro as it is here on ubuntu, but on the other distro, everything is too big? [01:30] does anybody know a good nvidia card of ubuntu [01:30] bro, what do you recomend i install? 804 or jaunty? [01:30] aleron6: I think most of them are [01:30] i think pretty much all nVidia cards are just fine on Ubuntu. [01:30] aleron6: and then you get a driver from the Ubuntu repo and usaully that works [01:30] get a gtx 295 co-op ftw edition [01:30] aleron6: the very latest Nivida cards though, those you might get issues with [01:30] * altf2o i've stuck with them specifically because the Linux support is outstanding. [01:30] like mine, the one I just mentioned [01:31] :( [01:31] josh: ok mirrors [01:31] Can anyone help me get terminal to run/look like this? http://ubuntuforums.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=17956&d=1161470797 [01:31] Anyone know how to fix PAM? I cant login to anything, im in the root recovery mode now. [01:31] josh: on the desktop version, you can change the mirror and get the updates from some where else, I don't know about the server [01:31] zebastian0, i just switched to 9.04, not using linux for quite some time, so i don't really know the 8.10 [01:32] su/sudo just segfault [01:32] bro, is there another log from when i was tlking to shane2peru? i think at one point he said he had the same trouble and i think he nailed it on the head, what the original problem was [01:32] * altf2o has had no issues w/ 9.04. It's support especially for my Wacom Bamboo tablet out of the box, has been exceptional. I see no reason to not use it unless you have a specific reason to stick w/ an older version. [01:33] i need to know how to get this script http://pastebin.com/m6064a8aa to open the app on the second screen when in xinerama [01:33] zebastian0, i don't think so, ask sebsebseb, i'm quite new to irc :P === Guest23739 is now known as CoJaBo-Eee [01:34] altf2o: indeed, even though the driver is closed source hmm [01:34] altf2o: that was in reply to your Nivida comment [01:35] !server | josh [01:35] josh: Ubuntu Server Edition is a release of Ubuntu designed especially for server environments, including a server-specific !kernel and no !GUI. The install CD contains many server applications. Current !LTS version is 8.04. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ServerFaq/ and https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/index.html - Use the #ubuntu-server channel for support [01:35] yep. If closed makes my product run flawlessly under this platform, then i'm all for it. [01:35] sebsebseb, in your assessment, should i install jaunty or the last LTS? [01:35] zebastian0, i'd say go with Jaunty, there are surely improvements over 8.10. why else it would be a new release then? [01:35] seidos, do you think jaunty is the way to go? [01:35] zebastian0: I guess 9.04 will be alright, as long as you install the correct ATI driver [01:36] sebsebseb can you help me install the wget -c https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/674/9206/0/www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/ati-driver-installer-9-9-x86.x86_64.run on the command line once i do a clean install? [01:36] bro: not sure why he is talking about 8.10 now, we were talking about 8.04 before [01:36] oh [01:36] bro: i meant 8.04 [01:36] that's the long term stable version right? [01:36] bro: and 8.10 and 8.04 have pretty much the same xorg or whatever, where as 8.04 doesn't which means at least with certain ATI cards it's better [01:37] bro: ah [01:37] bro: 9.04 and 8.10 have pretty much the same xorg or whatever above [01:37] !lts | zebastian0 [01:37] zebastian0: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Hardy (Hardy Heron 8.04). The next LTS release is scheduled to be 10.04 [01:38] beatbreaker: What does the script do now? Nothing? [01:38] sebsebseb, do you think it would work better if i installed hardy heron instead of jaunty? [01:38] how do you do a minimal install again? [01:38] sebsebseb, and you think ATI did worse on 9.10 than before? cause it's a possibility, but... [01:38] !minimal > dsdeiz [01:38] dsdeiz, please see my private message [01:38] What's a good chatroom to go to for hardware questions? [01:38] bro: I don't know [01:39] back [01:39] the script does nothing, when run in the termial it obviously says that the second display doesn't exist because i'm running xinerama now and it's effectivaly one display [01:39] bro: I know Intel graphic cards can be a right problem on 9.04, people have had ATI issues, SIS or whatever it was won't work, and Nivida is :) [01:39] zebastian0, just install the 9.10 and if you're in trouble, blame me :) [01:39] seidos, do you think i should install hardy heron with the ati ones? [01:39] my gtx 295 caused me to have to re-install ubuntu [01:39] nvidia card [01:40] bro: 9.10 not yet [01:40] 9.04 [01:40] damn [01:40] What does /var/lib/samba do, and what kind of bad things will happen if its deleted? [01:40] zebastian0: did you find out what video chipset you have in your laptop? [01:41] not to sound ignorant, but my assumption, gut feeling or whatever is that since 8.04 has been there for a long time as it is meant to be, it should be by now more debugged, but what do i know i'm a noob [01:41] zebastian0: 8.04 is probably a safer bet [01:41] ubuntu hardy is currently using mysql server 5.0.x, intrepid+ are using 5.1.x - will hardy ever move up to 5.1? how can I find out about these policies? [01:41] sebsebseb, that's what i told seidos, i don't think these driver issues are just jaunty-related [01:41] zebastian0: I suppose there is the possibility that a newer version works better with ati graphics cards [01:41] zebastian0: install 8.04 with a seperate home :) then try 9.10 when it 's out, I am thinking, or give 9.04 another go and make sure you install the correct driver [01:42] zebastian0: well you got an external hard disk now, so you don't need a seperate home as such now anyway [01:42] zebastian0: I know with my intel graphics card, 8.04 worked better after installation [01:42] Loder3331, why [01:42] seidos, my chipset: ATI Radeon™ HD 3200 [01:42] I installed the driver recommended to me by ubuntu and upon restart, I couldn't get anything on my screen [01:42] what's the IRC channel for the X people? [01:42] seidos: yes 8.04 has a older and completly differnet version of xorg from what 8.10 and 9.04 have [01:43] need help setting up a webcam, a chicony CNF7051 specifically. It works in cheese, but not in skype or tinychat..any hints please? [01:43] sebsebseb, you think it might work better for my ATI Radeon HD 3200 [01:43] is there a way of checking? [01:43] zebastian0: 9.10 yes maybe when that's out [01:43] Loder3331, you could have edited you /etc/X11/xorg.conf and change the video driver from nvidia to nv [01:43] zebastian0: Live CD [01:43] zebastian0: trying Ubuntu from a Live CD is the way to test hardware before installing [01:43] I'm new to linux and I have no idea how to do anything like that, and nobody here could help me with it at the time so I just reinstalled [01:44] Loder3331, thats what I just had to do after an upgrade in Karmic alpha [01:44] beatbreaker, #xorg, use searchirc.com [01:44] zebastian0: http://www.ubuntuhcl.org/browse/product+ati--radeon-hd-3200?id=6832 [01:44] sebsebseb, bro, seidos, here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1004955 [01:44] Why would deleting a printer FUBAR the system? o_O [01:44] test34, do you have any idea why things would be displaying incorrectly in another distribution of linux, with the same resolution? Everything is way too big and I can't do anything with it [01:45] Loder3331, you'll know for next time [01:45] CoJaBo-Eee: deleting how? [01:46] zebastian0, those are 64bit drivers, i'm not going that far to tell it's the same thing with 32bit [01:46] lib32asound2-plugins replace ia32libs,is it a bug? [01:46] zebastian0: "...i have no loyalty except to eye candy." hahahaha [01:46] durt, [01:46] durt, thankx [01:46] zebastian0: are you running 64bit? [01:46] Loder3331, you could try to use the same /etcv/X11/xorg.conf in the other distribution (save the one that works right on a usb key or something)... are you sure it was the same resolution ? [01:46] arand: I deleted a non-existant printer via settings GUI, and that massively broke the system. [01:46] zebastian0: you need to install the correct driver for your archecture so for 32bit or 64bit in your case it's 32bit I belive? [01:47] seidos, bro, sebsebseb, my concern is this, shane2peru, said that he had the same problem with his ATI chip, and that it's because it overheats with the repo drivers, that ihave to wget -c https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/674/9206/0/www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/ati-driver-installer-9-9-x86.x86_64.run but i wonder if that will work for hardy [01:47] i just installed slapd (openldap server) and executed sudo dpkg-reconfigure slapd to configure ldap server. it's done and working. However, i can't find slapd.conf anywhere. Where does ubuntu store it ? I am using a brand new ubuntu 9.04 server edition [01:47] arand: Bug 303458 apearently. [01:47] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+bug/303458 [01:47] thiagocrepaldi, did you look in /etc [01:47] What does /var/lib/samba do, and what kind of bad things will happen if its deleted? [01:47] zebastian0: that driver is for 9.04 [01:47] thats why i'm asking [01:48] if it would be better to reinstall jaunty [01:48] zebastian0: it could maybe also work on hardy, but hardy will probably be fine for your ATI card [01:48] zebastian0, those are the latest drivers [01:48] is ther a open office channel ? i need help on a formula [01:48] and by the way, that seems to be for 64 and i'm 32 [01:48] CoJaBo-Eee: it's samba: file sharing protocol windows<>GNU/Linux [01:48] zebastian0: the latest ATI drivers probably aren't even made for the older version of xorg that hardy has [01:48] yeah I checked using xrandrx. I'm not sure if that'll work. It only runs off of the dvd. It's specifically for gaming. I can't really see anything, so I can't really get into my folders or anything. I suppose I could use the terminal and try copying it [01:48] test34, yes. it should be on /etc/ldap [01:48] CoJaBo-Eee: why you want to delete it? [01:48] shane2peru, said that he has the same problem, basically that his computer freezes when playing a movie because of overheating [01:48] i looked in /etc, /usr and /var using find command [01:49] ugliefrog, http://searchirc.com [01:49] sebsebseb that's exactly why i'm torn as to whether i should use hardy or jaunty [01:49] zebastian0, 9.8 [9.9 version], those are the latest, the same on ATI website and ubuntu repos [01:49] zebastian0: you can test your card using the hardy Live CD, before installing anything [01:49] thiagocrepaldi, if no one knows here try #ubuntu-server [01:49] zebastian0: they recommend here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1004955 that you install the restricted drivers suggested by the OS [01:49] arand: Its currupt, preventing login of any kind. Deleting the whole dir fixes the problem, but what side-effects will that cause when I boot back into normal mode? [01:49] durbin, ty [01:50] zebastian0: the Hardy repo will have a differnet driver for your card than what the jauntey repo has [01:50] seidos, yes but those were the oens that kept getting the computer stuck whenever i'd play a movie [01:50] well, i never heared of "overheating drivers" before.... [01:50] bro: your looking at the offical log? [01:50] shane2peru said he had the same problem, that the drivers from the repo overheated his computer [01:50] right [01:50] zebastian0: ok the driver from the repo didn't work, and you ended up with problems? [01:50] CoJaBo-Eee: hopefully none if you don't use the protocol for shares, better would probably be reinstalling the samba packages though. [01:50] zebastian0: then you try from the website and yep problems? [01:50] sebsebseb, no, why? [01:50] sebsebseb yes [01:51] ultimately i want no problems whatsoever [01:51] bro: oh something about heating before [01:51] i have a software raid1, a fail event has been detected on /dev/sdb1 and /dev/sdb2. then /dev/sdb just disappeared, how is it possible? [01:51] umm ... i am having some trouble configuring dual boot ... what does root (hd0,0) means ? [01:51] i want to run compix [01:51] compiz [01:51] and be able to watch movies [01:51] zebastian0: ok so both caused problems, the repo driver, as well as from the ATI site? [01:51] thiagocrepaldi, find /etc -name "slapd.conf" [01:51] arand: I have several shares, but the settings for those are in /etc/sambasomething.conf, arent they? [01:51] test34, where can I find that file? is it /etcv/X11/xorg.conf from my home directory? I don't see an etcv directory in my home folder, with hidden showing [01:51] bro> well, i never heared of "overheating drivers" before.... [01:51] zebastian0: well obviosuly [01:52] zebastian0: This has been going on for quite a while now, I think it's time for you to install 8.04, test it from the Live CD first even [01:52] sebsebseb, can you help me install the wget -c https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/674/9206/0/www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/ati-driver-installer-9-9-x86.x86_64.run ones [01:52] and if it doesn't work [01:52] i go back to hardy? [01:52] test34, i already tried that before asking here... it should be there.. i already reinstalled it several times. [01:53] sebsebseb: I 2nd that [01:53] ok can you link me to the hardy heron 86 architectuure live cd one? [01:53] i can't find it on the ubuntu website [01:53] zebastian0: maybe seidos can hep you install that driver, I am not sure what to do with runs [01:53] just the newest === IdNotFound`alt is now known as IdNotFound [01:53] CoJaBo-Eee: "dpkg -S /var/lib/samba" shows that it's part of the "samba-common" package, you could try reinstalling it. [01:53] Is there an easy way to change pulseaudio output devices? I have speakers and a wireless headphones and the only way I can figure out to get sound to go through the headphones is to open up 'pulseaudio volume control' and manually move a playing stream. [01:54] seidos here http://releases.ubuntu.com/hardy/ which is the live cd? [01:54] test34, ubuntu 9.04 do not use slapd.conf. i found out on #ubuntu-server [01:54] the alternate or the desktop?+ [01:54] zebastian0: you can download the Live CD for 8.10 if you want and try that firs [01:54] durt, i got help there. thanks. [01:54] sebsebseb http://releases.ubuntu.com/hardy/ which is the livecd? [01:54] zebastian0: 8.10 is after all better than 8.04 in certain ways that are worth it :) [01:54] such as? [01:54] zebastian0: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download [01:54] zebastian0: this is a good idea to try both versions 8.04 and 8.10 from Live CD [01:54] I'm trying to install X-Chat. I tried to ./configure it but it said "cannot find glib". So I downloaded and unpackaged GLib and tried to ./configure it but it says ./configure: no such file or directory. And indeed there is none. So what do I do with it? [01:55] zebastian0: http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ [01:55] http://releases.ubuntu.com/hardy/ubuntu-8.04.3-desktop-i386.iso <---livecd? [01:55] arand: It seems to have recreated the dir and some of its contents on its own. I'm hoping thhe worst that can happen is I lose my Samba settings? [01:55] Loder3331, it is not in your home directory, it is in the root of your hard drive [01:55] zebastian0: http://releases.ubuntu.com/hardy for 8.04 yep and http://releases.ubuntu.com/intrepid for 8.10 yep [01:56] ScarletSwordfish, why do you need to compile it ? [01:56] will the programs that run on jaunty run on hardy? like skype and kde 4.3 etc? [01:56] zebastian0: yes that's the ISO for hardy [01:56] X-chat? because it's not compiled, as far as i know [01:56] zebastian0: on the actsual ubuntu site hardy is also still available as a download by the way [01:56] CoJaBo-Eee: more likely, since you're remove a library, that you loose the samba functionality, until you reinstall it. [01:56] exit [01:57] hello [01:57] arand: Its just databases. [01:57] ScarletSwordfish, add universe repository [01:57] test34, how do I get there from the terminal? what's the command to go to the root [01:57] ¿Will the apps that work on jaunty, like the latest version of kopete, nicotine, kde, gnome work on hardy? [01:57] Loder333, type: cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf ~/xorg.conf [01:57] test34: is that a command? [01:57] hey i am new to this [01:57] !welcome | kevin___ [01:57] kevin___: Welcome to #ubuntu - the Ubuntu support channel. [01:58] !new | kevin___ [01:58] kevin___: documentation is to be found at http://help.ubuntu.com and http://wiki.ubuntu.com - General linux documentation: http://www.tldp.org - http://rute.2038bug.com [01:58] ScarletSwordfish, no, use synaptic package manager, settings - repositories [01:58] ooh [01:58] thanks [01:58] ATI do notprovide support to a lot of it's hardware on your recent releases. my ati raden x1250 do not work on ubuntu jaunty with latest fglrx drivers because of it. damn it. MAYBE it's the same problm you might have [01:58] kevin___: np [01:58] Loder3331, then xorg.conf will be in your home folder [01:58] zebastian0: possibly, but at a higher risk of problems and more inconvenience of installing. [01:58] Loder3331, type: cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf ~/xorg.conf [01:58] that's it i'm reinstalling jaunty then [01:58] yeah, but when I want to paste it into the correct place in the other distro [01:58] zebastian0: what? [01:58] zebastian0: I thought you were going 8.04? [01:58] well, i want the latest kde and nicotine and skype [01:59] zebastian0: there's a ppa for KDE 4.3 for hardy [01:59] anyone with tinychat.com expereience? can't get my webcam to be recognized [01:59] hmm [01:59] zebastian0: skype you get from there website, and what's nicotine ? [01:59] zebastian0: you should go with LTS version [01:59] am i kburts now? [01:59] hmm [01:59] zebastian0: other people have better experience with it [01:59] besides i can always try to install the ATI drivers properly with that guide shane2peru left [01:59] will it have the same cool compiz effects from jaunty? [02:00] zebastian0: Hardy is actsaully better than 9.04 in certain ways :) [02:00] zebastian0: install LTS, get ati card working in it, then if you want to be courageous, upgrade [02:00] will it work faster? [02:00] will it overheat less? [02:00] zebastian0: just like Intrepid is better than Jauntey in certain ways [02:00] zebastian0: and hopefuly 9.10 will be better than all of those [02:00] test34, I have the file on my flash drive, now I need to know what to type in the other distro to put it where it goes [02:01] i am downloading hardy on this laptop [02:01] zebastian0: yeah what seidos said, and you can also try your card using the 8.04 and 8.10 Live CD before installing anything, and then pick one that it works with [02:01] meanwhile i'll try to reinstall jaunty [02:01] i cant seem to be able to change my name to "kburts" on irssi [02:01] can anyone help? [02:01] and see if i can install those drivers shane2peru said [02:01] if they don't work [02:01] off to hardy i go [02:01] Loder3331, cp /media/flash-drive/xorg.conf /etc/X11/ [02:02] is there a way to get rid of the "Favorites" tab from the KDE Start menu? [02:02] Loder3331, (you need to replace "flash-drive" with whatever..) [02:02] it's showing as disk on my desktop, would that be it? [02:02] AssociateX, #kubuntu ? [02:02] i cant seem to be able to change my name to "kburts" on irssi, can anyone tell me how [02:02] please === jeremy is now known as Guest88882 [02:03] hello, need some google-fu help, trying to search for info on encrypting an external usb harddrive, have various utilities installed already (9.04) "encrypt external usb drive" [02:03] kevin___: type /nick kburts [02:03] thanks! === kevin___ is now known as Kburts [02:03] ahaa! [02:03] robb, try truecrypt [02:03] lolz [02:03] zebastian0: ok [02:03] thanks! [02:03] no problem [02:03] Is the Ubuntu Netbook remix faster than the normal version? [02:03] k [02:04] LordMetroid: they are differnet [02:04] LordMetroid: for netbooks the remix would be recommended though [02:04] hi - i cant write in hebrew with mIRC under wine, what can i do? === ffooo is now known as arooni-mobile [02:04] seidos what do you think about my plan? [02:04] sebsebseb, he knows they are different.. they would not make 2 version if they were the same [02:04] test34, I just tried doing it here first, before I go to my other distro. It said Permission denied. To I have to put something in front of the command? [02:04] What all functions does Samba do? I thought it just provided SMB shares and stuff, but apparently it does more? [02:04] demo: ask in #winehq [02:04] I am going to buy myzelf a Zotac IONITX motherboard for use in my HTPC/server so I am unsure if I want the netbook remix or the normal one [02:04] thanks sebsebseb [02:04] Loder3331, sudo [02:04] test34: ok [02:05] demo: no problem and good luck [02:05] test34: "easycrypt" is avail on sources...this works? [02:05] zebastian0: good luck [02:05] seidos: yeah good luck [02:05] seidos: ah [02:05] robb, never tried that one sorry [02:05] zebastian0: above that was for you [02:05] m, hm [02:05] I just want to run XBMC now and than and mainly use it as my web-server, fileserver, git repositories, etc... [02:05] give'r a whirl i reckon [02:06] Question : On an Asus EEE PC 701 4G surf, running Ubuntu 9.04, how can I fix the SD card mount issue? [02:06] ok thanks test34, I'm going to go try that and see what happens [02:06] !widhe [02:06] Sorry, I don't know anything about widhe [02:07] CoJaBo-Eee: It does pretty much anything pertaining to sharing between Unix and Windows. File shares, printer shares, setting up as a sharing server........ [02:08] what is wubi= [02:08] !wubi | zebastian0 [02:08] zebastian0: Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. [02:08] test34: apt-get truecrypt? [02:08] bobertdos: Well, currupt Samba config files FUBARd any kind of login (su/sudo, ssh, even text terminals), so something more is going on o_O [02:08] * CoJaBo-Eee still doesnt get how deleting a printer can FUBAR the entire system [02:09] robb, the good thing with truecypt is that it is also availble for Windows: http://www.truecrypt.org/downloads [02:09] windows :) [02:10] robb, just copy linux version and windows version on your external drive and you can use it anywhere (they also have mac) [02:10] oh i see [02:10] well, i think for now the hdd stays attached to this box [02:10] but thanks for future pointer! [02:10] How do I get Ubuntu 9.04 to recognize the SD card on my Asus 701 4G surf? [02:10] sebsebseb if i chose catalan on my ubuntu install it won't change the outputs from terminal or the sudo apt get style commands right? it's basically gui and keyboard layout settings right? [02:10] ok np robb [02:11] zebastian0: I don't know, maybe seidos or someone like that knows [02:11] CoJaBo-Eee: Well, once installed, Samba does integrate itself into the OS pretty heavily, and I know the Samba=Common packages contain some shared components. [02:12] zebastian0: also if you do a thread with loads of details about your card on the forum, that could be useful [02:12] zebastian0: and about stuff that you did to try and get it working [02:13] How do I reset ubutnu font defaults? I installed wine and it f****** up my fonts and this is the third time this has happened. I even tried removing msfonts and all those fonts but it still looks terrible... Why hasn't this been FIXED!?!??!!? [02:13] seidos, if i chose catalan as the default language on ubuntu it will not change the outputs of shell and so into catalan right? those settings are pretty much for the gui right? [02:13] bobertdos: Do you know anything about the /var/lib/samba folder? Deleting it fixes the system to a usable state (at least in recovery mode), but is it going to blow up once I reboot to normal mode? oo_O [02:13] my ubuntus graphics messed up - how can i fix it [02:14] !language | Loafers [02:14] Loafers: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [02:14] anyone interested in helping me with a dependency problem i'm having instaling pidgin on 8.10? [02:14] zebastian0: I don't know what catalan is [02:14] Loafers: ask in #winehq [02:14] sebsebseb: it also happens when i install msttcorefonts, and when i remove the package the fonts dont' revert back to the original [02:15] test34: i do not see any "add universe repositories" option [02:15] Loafers: purge the package or something, and you can delete the hidden .wine folder in home, to get like a default Wine again [02:15] should i install epiphany browser or epiphany gecko browser? [02:15] Loafers: and the menu shortcuts are in .local I think [02:15] sebsebseb: i purged all the font packages [02:15] sebsebseb: sudo dpkg --purge ttf-arphic-uming ttf-kochi-gothic ttf-kochi-mincho ttf-thai-tlwg ttf-arabeyes ttf-indic-fonts-core ttf-lao ttf-malayalam-fonts ttf-unfonts-core msttcorefonts [02:16] epiphany vs epiphany gecko which should i choose? google is no help [02:16] zaccour: by default it uses Gecko I think :) ,but Webkit is also a good rendering engine [02:16] sebsebseb, whats webkit? [02:17] zaccour: even though it was started by Apple who aren't exactly Linux friendly, but Webkit is open source so :d it's also Apples fork of KTHML what Konqueror uses [02:17] zaccour: Gecko and Webkit are rendering enginges [02:17] CoJaBo-Eee: I can't say I know much about that directory. It doesn't look like it would necessarily be the most damaging directory to remove though. Have you tried purging the packages? [02:17] sebastien_, but how do i know which one to choose? [02:17] Does anyone know how to get the vmhgfs module to compile for VMware tools on the latest ubuntu? [02:17] zaccour: by default you should get Gecko [02:17] what is the advantage of the ext4 files system? [02:18] sebsebseb, so i should select epiphany gecko instead of epiphany? [02:18] zebastian0: fast boot up, fast shut down, and fast disk checking [02:18] will the next LTS have that file system? [02:18] zebastian0: yes by default and also 9.10 will have it by default [02:18] zaccour: sudo apt-get install epiphany [02:18] hello [02:18] zaccour: then it will also install anything else that it needs to install [02:18] zebastian0: See http://ext4.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/New_ext4_features [02:18] can i ask basic questions here? [02:18] thanks [02:19] !ask | ammadeusy [02:19] ammadeusy: 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. :-) [02:19] bobertdos: No, but it doesnt look like that would have worked. AFAICT, that dir only stores config for features I dont use. So I think I;m safe. I hope... [02:19] zaccour: it's just Epiphany can also now use Webkit [02:19] winbox on kubuntu?... [02:19] is it possible for me to install ext4 on jaunty? [02:19] ScarletSwordfish, you cant also: sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list [02:19] CoJaBo-Eee: Yeah, I'd think so. [02:19] zebastian0: yes, but it's not properly stable, because of the kernel they have and that [02:19] i was trying to join this channel using command /join ubuntu [02:19] but it didnt work [02:20] i had to use /list [02:20] and then click twice on ubunut [02:20] !cat [02:20] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful.

Use: http://webchat.freenode.net/ [02:22] zebastian0: are you spanish? [02:23] deco: ah when you say that I am thinking ah yes, since there was this woman... [02:23] hey guys...i currently have a test server, and then my actual....now my friend wants me to build him a server and i want to do it....but i want to make sure that any updates he gets have been tested for problems on my server...so how can i set up a repository to auto update from and how do i place updates from the normal repository that i deem stable into my repository [02:23] zebastian0: Why not do it in English? Your English is good enough, plus if your going to use this channal for support it will make things easier [02:23] deco: well I think I have heard of it before [02:23] ok i installed epiphany, now where can i find the epiphany icon? there is none [02:24] zaccour: ah yes this issue, easy to fix though [02:24] flannel: didnt get this webchat... why use that? [02:24] zaccour: What's wrong with Firefox in Ubuntu for you? I also quite like Galeon as an alternative [02:24] ammadeusy: If your proxy doesn't allow you to connect other than those ports, you can use the webchat [02:24] sebsebseb, can i install ubuntu on a netbook using a normal livecd and an external cd drive? === Guest3212 is now known as dlp1982 [02:24] sebastien_, epiphany is faster and more stable from my experience [02:24] irssi > weechat [02:24] zebastian0: I thought you were going to re install on a lap top or desktop, not a netbook? [02:25] ammadeusy: Because you say you can't get to the IRC server ports via your proxy... http://webchat.freenode.net/ will use port 80 which your proxy supports. [02:25] oh webchat, not weecchat [02:25] >.> [02:25] zaccour: from my experience Konqueror is faster, and even Opera [02:25] zaccour: go to system-preferences-main menu, and select interent and just check epiphany [02:25] flannel: yes. the problem is that i need use blow fish for encryption [02:25] internet* [02:25] flannel: gonna work in a place that they use sniffer for IM and etc [02:25] Guest3212, http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/286 [02:25] dlp1982, http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/286 [02:25] deco, i will try that thanks [02:25] zaccour: also the rendering enginge and security are the two most important things when it comes to a browser [02:25] thanks [02:26] flannel: i dont want to get busted or have my privacy in jeopardy [02:26] engine [02:26] ammadeusy: Then don't IM from work :) [02:26] haha [02:26] zaccour: not speed or any of that [02:26] sometimes it is needed, dude. [02:26] zaccour: you are welcome , tell me if it works [02:26] zaccour: also re installing the package, should add it to the menu, or logging out of Ubuntu and back in again [02:26] deco, still don't see the icon in the menu [02:27] sebsebseb, so i need to uninstall then reinstall? [02:27] zaccour: log out and log in again [02:27] well. ok. thank you anyway. :) [02:27] deco, i will try that brb thanks [02:28] zaccour: plus to help with browser/renderingengine market share, it's better for people to be using Firefox :) since that's number two after the worst browser of all IE. That will also help with web standards support :) which helps make the web become better overall. [02:28] When trying to play .avi with movie player or VLC both start up and crash. libdvdcss2 and ubuntu-restricted-extras are both installed. any ideas? [02:28] ammadeusy: If you tried encrypting IM on my network to try and hide policy violation, I'd probably spot the weird looking encrypted stream, note what the endpoint is, and bust you for that anyway... if you want to work there, and not be busted, don't IM from there. Period. [02:28] anyone have any luck setting up brodcom wireless under jaunty? [02:28] can someone quickly tell me how to unmute outputs on startup via cli? i have these ALSA drivers that mute themselves after every reboot. [02:29] jdsandeson: what is wrong ? [02:29] zaggynl: that's one way to do it yes [02:29] zaggynl: not uninstall though [02:29] still not in the menu :( [02:29] zaccour: just re install [02:29] zaccour: or log out of Ubuntu and back in again as I said [02:29] sebsebseb, so i just uninstall then reinstall? [02:29] installed on a compaq with brodcom and everything works but wireless [02:29] another question people, may I?

[02:30] jdsandeson: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [02:31] IdleOne: For the moment, focus on VLC. You might need to try a different video renderer.

[02:31] how do i add a chanel to my irc? i am trying to add air crack ng but cant figure out how [02:31] anyone know how to get win7-style app grouping and window previews? [02:31] zaccour: Epiphany uses Gecko by default, and it can also use Webkit as I said before, both rendering engines are very good. Gecko is also the one Firefox uses. However webserver statistics don't get the rendering engin people are using instead they get the browser. There will be web developers out there that have no idea what Epiphany or Galeon or whatever use, but they will know what Firefox uses.

[02:33] ammadeusy: /part [02:34] mirc 6.34 [02:34] worked fine! hehe [02:34] sorry. [02:35] do we still need a firewall on ubuntu? [02:35] zaccour: gtk-update-icon-cache I asked someone and that's what they said hmm [02:35] d3Lt40n3: what are you talking about [02:36] d3Lt40n3: it is recommended that you have one, and ubuntu comes with iptables and ufw preinstalled [02:36] d3Lt40n3: yes whatever OS your using if it's Internet connected you should have an enabled firewall [02:36] bobertdos: this is what I get when trying to play http://paste.ubuntu.com/271303/ [02:37] IdleOne, that usually means the problem with video drivers [02:38] usser: libdvdcss2 and ubuntu-restricted-extras are installed. Anything else I should install? [02:38] !iptables | d3Lt40n3 [02:38] d3Lt40n3: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in.

GUI applications such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist [02:38] IdleOne. Yeah, what usser said, which is why you should see if a different renderer works. [02:38] IdleOne, the video card. check if the glxinfo | grep direct says Yes [02:39] usser: it does [02:39] IdleOne, you got Ati? [02:39] how do I force mount a drive again?

[02:40] zaccour: not sure [02:40] IdleOne, hm, and do you have compiz enabled? [02:40] zaccour: I think Galeon is one that doesn't get updated much in Ubuntu [02:40] zebastian0: are you still here? How is the graphics setup?

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 [02:44] how do i get the language packages, i installed ubuntu in catalan but it says it's got incomplete language packages [02:44] usser: not to mention if I try to enable 3d graphics it tells me none available [02:44] sebsebseb: wow, that is some serious log keeping. :) [02:44] zebastian0: have you got rid of your 9.04 install yet? [02:44] shane2peru: indeed [02:45] !pm > khaled [02:45] khaled, please see my private message [02:45] usser: but like I said I don't need 3d or compiz [02:45] oppss!!im talking to a bot.. [02:45] !thanks | d3Lt40n3 [02:45] d3Lt40n3: You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [02:45] sebsebseb yes i installed jaunty again, and now i'm trying to get the remaining language packages to install it in catalan [02:45] d3Lt40n3: you didn't put thanks, but it's !thanks reply works for what you put :D [02:45] zebastian0: I'm back. :) [02:45] thanks [02:45] usser: any other ideas? [02:46] bobertdos: yes just the source files! [02:46] zebastian0: As I already suggested, why not do it in English? [02:46] zebastian0: you are still going to need to install the proprietary drivers [02:46] sebsebseb: the ati drivers in the repos are old or something, not sure. [02:46] sebsebseb because i don't speak english [02:46] zebastian0: Your English is good enough, and it will make support easier, if your going to use this channal for it [02:46] IdleOne, try a different renderer. like X11 [02:46] khaled: If you have to, right-click to use gedit. I like jEdit, but of course to use jEdit to its fullest, you want to install Sun Java first. [02:46] usser: explain please [02:46] zebastian0: you type english but don't speak english? [02:46] zebastian0: you don't speak English???, you had me fooled. :) [02:46] hello [02:46] has anyone here used xen with ubuntu? [02:46] SHANE2PERU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11 [02:46] I cant even read english! :) [02:47] * zebastian0 embraces shane to peru [02:47] Ashy: ask your next question which is the real one :) [02:47] zebastian0: heh [02:47] Dr_Willis: lol :) [02:47] i can't seem to get my internet working after installing xen on ubuntu 8.04 [02:47] * zebastian0 reinstalls english ubuntu jauynty [02:47] shane2peru: zebastian0 just tried to make you famous :D [02:47] IdleOne, there are different "ways" to render a video on linux, there's xvideo that you use, opengl, x11, and some others [02:47] ive also tried ubuntu 9.04 [02:47] sebsebseb: lol, he can try, I'm not sure it will work [02:47] IdleOne, try a different renderer, X11, it should be somewhere in the players settings [02:47] shane2peru, i need you to help me install those drivers [02:47] zebastian0: you can also change the language some how to English [02:47] !xen [02:47] XEN is a virtual machine monitor for x86 that supports execution of multiple guest operating systems with unprecedented levels of performance and resource isolation. Information on installing it for Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Xen [02:47] zebastian0: hahaha [02:47] I am having a problem with irc ident server (pidentd) could some one take a look at this and tell me what I am doing wrong? http://paste.ubuntu.com/271286/ [02:48] zebastian0: ok, you have a fresh install, and are ready to go? [02:48] usser: ok lemme poke around [02:48] zebastian0: you even have a desktop to work with this time? [02:48] hello [02:48] shane2peru nope, just in the process of doing the fresh install [02:48] Dr_Willis, cheers man [02:48] zebastian0: did you start yet? [02:48] the fresh install? [02:48] zebastian0: right, the new install [02:49] usser and bobertdos thank you for your help :) [02:49] zebastian0: there is a way to change the install to ENglish === mactimes_ is now known as mactimes [02:49] zebastian0: ,but since your going to be mainly using the terminal anyway [02:49] shane2peru i'm in the midst of it, i am doing hte fresh install agian [02:49] in english [02:49] zebastian0: I guess right now it doesn't really matter [02:49] zebastian0: I think if we install the ati drivers, it may fix the problem, but I'm not sure what all has been changed now [02:49] IdleOne, but X11 doesnt support proper video scaling, ie no full screen :) [02:49] zebastian0: ok, that is fine, we will get the drivers installed the right way thist ime [02:49] shane2peru: do you have an ati card? [02:49] mount -f /dev/sda2 ...says... "can't find /dev/sda2 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab" [02:49] How do you change the look of the bootlader? Right now ubuntu is first, and i want my vista install #1 === mirco_ is now known as mirco [02:50] guest9214: why Vista first, and that's easy to change [02:50] so how can I mount /dev/sda2 ? [02:50] seidos: I have the same card he has actually [02:50] usser: the sacrifices we have to make.... :) [02:50] shane2peru: cool [02:50] seidos: well, mine is one number off, but same driver [02:50] shane2peru: good luck [02:50] seidos: yeah that's what you said earlier, he should have someone that has the same card helping him [02:50] seidos: my laptop overheated with over 5 or 6 different distros I installed trying to fix the prob [02:50] sebsebseb: so if i leave it accidentally, it'll boot to vista instead of ubuntu [02:50] seidos: not using your exact wording just then [02:50] mount -f /dev/sda2 ...says... "can't find /dev/sda2 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab" ...so how can I mount /dev/sda2 ? [02:51] IdleOne, you dont have to, xvideo should work with intel cards, unless the pc is really really old [02:51] shane2peru: I remember you talking to sebsebseb about it after sebsebseb directed me to the #ubuntu logs [02:51] teh -- do you have a mount point? [02:51] maybe not [02:51] usser: pc is a couple years old [02:51] mkdir shane2peru: what are you running now? os wise? [02:51] guest9214: yes ok, but I am curious as to why you want Vista as the default boot [02:51] seidos: running Suse on the laptop, but my main box has Ubuntu [02:52] seidos: still not fixed, been considering putting Koala on there just for kicks [02:52] shane2peru: what brand laptop? [02:52] Bluey: wondering why ubuntu won't do all that in gui though? [02:52] seidos: Toshiba Satellite [02:52] guest9214: gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst [02:52] teh - that's all done at the comand line [02:52] bobertdos:ok i downloaded jedit & java runtime environment, but still it opens just like a text file, it doesn't "execute" anything!? [02:52] seidos: it is AMD processor, ATI drivers, and the worse laptop I have ever installed Linux on. [02:52] shane2peru: I have a satellite, intel graphics though [02:52] vista has all of my documents and programs, and i'm using ubuntu to learn linux commands [02:53] sebsebseb: vista as default boot so mom and dad/wife/gf don't freak out when something they don't know boots up :) [02:53] seidos: I have an old Toshiba has always run great with Linux [02:53] guest9214: I see well as long as Vista shut itself down properly, you can access and use that partition from Ubuntu [02:53] Bluey: only one of four partitions actually mounted on its own (via the UI) [02:53] seidos: also intel [02:53] kinda odd [02:53] no error messages either [02:53] IdleOne: not this time by the sounds of it [02:53] shane2peru: do you use it? [02:53] seidos: the kids do now, it has been dropped, dumped on, etc. still kicking [02:54] sebsebseb: I know, i can and have, that's just what i want [02:54] IdleOne, can you pastebin the output of glxinfo and uname -a and lsb_release -a and lspci | grep VGA commands [02:54] shane2peru: cool [02:54] guest9214: ok I already told you how to access the file you need to edit [02:54] IdleOne, lets see whats up [02:54] hi [02:54] seidos: I bought it with warranty, and got my money back when the screen on it died [02:54] sebsebseb: ok, so i entered the cmd into terminal, now what? [02:54] teh -- do you have a mount point? [02:54] guest9214: it should have opended up the file [02:54] usser: sure gimme a minute [02:54] what is the rename command, sorry i had it a little while ago, i just forgot it [02:54] sebsebseb: yes [02:54] guest9214: after you put your password in as well [02:54] sebsebseb: got it [02:55] seidos: put a screen in it, and it just keeps running. [02:55] kevin___, mv [02:55] guest9214: at the bottom there should be Ubuntu and Vista [02:55] kevin___, mv oldname newname [02:55] If I download tar.gz packages for third-party apps, how can I install them via terminal? I've tried all the basic commands but continue getting error messages. [02:55] what [02:55] ? [02:55] 1337 people in room. Awesome. [02:55] shane2peru: I set up an old dell as a webserver [02:55] Any audio experts in the channel? [02:55] kevin___, the rename command is mv [02:55] kevin___: mv is basically the same as rename [02:55] ooooh [02:55] thanks [02:55] kevin mv filea fileb [02:55] sebsebseb: i see "# This entry automatically added by the Debian installer for a non-linux OS [02:55] # on /dev/sda3 [02:55] title Windows Vista (loader) [02:55] rootnoverify (hd0,2) [02:55] savedefault [02:55] guest9214: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:55] makeactive [02:55] guest9214: in those enteries put Vista as the first one, that should take care of it, also hopefuly you will change it back soon :) ,because you will be more comfortable with Ubuntu [02:56] am i kburts now? [02:56] Bluey: a mount point was automatically created by ubuntu's GUI for the other partition, I don't know why I have to create a mountpoint and mount manually, but if you don't know why that could be then I'll continue doing it that way [02:56] seidos: I my main box as a server for a while, was a lot of work to get the ports forwarded through router etc, finally quit messing with it. [02:56] guest9214: updating Grub or maybe even installing a newer kernel, will make it not be default boot anymore, but then you can edit the file again [02:57] teh o I don't sorry - I just know that works....ru using automount? [02:57] Would this make a working bash script? http://pastebin.com/m77d7e7cf .. It runs fine but doesn't do what the second and third line are supposed to. [02:57] sebsebseb: he didn't move his entry did he? [02:57] ahahahahaha @ Windows Vista [02:57] sebsebseb: on grub? [02:57] oooh i see, i asked the question [02:57] wrong [02:57] shane2peru: no it's at the bottom by default like that or whatever [02:57] how do i rename myself in irc? like that's the /... command? [02:57] sebsebseb: ok, I lost mine once doing that. :) [02:57] Hello All, just installed Ubuntu 9.04 on dual boot with Vista and all was great. Then I installed an ATI Radeon graphics driver FGLRX? And Ubuntu fails to boot and looks garbled <-- HELP! lol [02:57] usser: http://paste.ubuntu.com/271311/ [02:58] Bluey: if that's what Nautilis uses, then yes [02:58] kevin___: /nick [02:58] kevin___: ha ha, we thought you meant via terminal. :) lol [02:58] thanks! === tomek__ is now known as anahel [02:58] shane2peru: hmm looks like Gaming4JC has an issue for you :D [02:58] yes sorryu [02:58] i asked it way wrong [02:58] I used Recovery Mode and attempted to fix Xorg Graphics driver, it failed. :( === kevin___ is now known as Kburts [02:58] IdleOne, yep the driver is messed up [02:58] teh -- no it must be instructed to use automount -- [02:58] ahaa i is now KBURTS!! [02:58] usser: how do I fix it? [02:59] Gaming4JC: what graphics card do you have? [02:59] usser: or is it part of the known intel regression?

[02:59] could anyone help please? i need to "execute" a java source file (.java file) , how can i do this? [02:59] sebsebseb: I hate ATI :) [02:59] IdleOne, i've had that on fedora 11 and it was because of a crippled driver that they shipped [02:59] Gaming4JC: how did it get messed up? [02:59] IdleOne, pastebin you /var/log/Xorg.0.log [02:59] shane2peru: * Radeon HD 4870 Sapphire [02:59] guest9214: and # and ## are just comments, it doesn't use stuff that is commented [02:59] shane2peru: they love you :D [03:00] p [03:00] !love > shane2peru [03:00] shane2peru, please see my private message [03:00] Shane2peru: I installed the propietry drivers.

[03:01] usser: http://paste.ubuntu.com/271313/ [03:01] Yes, i just have to reboot now. Thanks, man! [03:01] shane2peru: I have dial-up so I installed them via packages then went into System>> Hardware and activated. After restart it failed. Packages were all of the above listed here: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=fglrx&searchon=names&suite=jaunty§ion=all [03:02] hmm [03:02] I'm running on Vista now since Ubuntu is borked [03:02] :P [03:02] Gaming4JC: so you just installed them from the repo? [03:02] andone here using irssi? [03:02] Shane2peru: yes [03:02] *anyone [03:02] Gaming4JC: I mean you didn't go downloading them from anywhere right? [03:02] shane2peru: I downloaded them from this url: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=fglrx&searchon=names&suite=jaunty§ion=all [03:02] and installed them in order [03:03] wekk [03:03] Kburts: ask your next question. The one you want the answer to :) [03:03] Gaming4JC: I recommend you install the ones from the ATI web site, it is probably close to 100MB download [03:03] well [03:03] oooh [03:03] shane2peru: bummer I have dial-up - just made a trip to get them on highspeed. [03:03] what's the command to move the mouse pointer to a certian geometry? [03:03] lol [03:03] IdleOne, line 154 (**) intel(0): DRI is disabled because it fails to run without freezing on i810 and i865G chips. (See LP 304871) [03:03] shane2peru: Meanwhile how can I uninstall these things [03:04] IdleOne, as it says see LP 304871, im assuming its a bug report number [03:04] usser: yes it is [03:04] IdleOne, you may try enabling UXA instead of EXA but i doubt it will help [03:04] Hello! How do I use terminal to install tarballs? Is it possible to install things outside of the sources.list? [03:05] Gaming4JC: hmm, let me think about that one, installing the web site ones I know how to do, but uninstalling those, let me search the repos. [03:05] Gaming4JC: you can boot into terminal right? recovery mode terminal and get a command line? [03:05] IdleOne, add this line to your Device section in xorg.conf Option "AccelMethod" "UXA" like here http://pastebin.com/m303158ff [03:06] Does the utility still exist that lets you choose what OS you want to boot on next reboot? [03:06] shane2peru: ok thanks - right now I borked it so bad it won't boot even in recovry mode. Just shows up with lines all over the screen and won't give me access to a terminal [03:06] what's the command to move the mouse pointer to a certian geometry? [03:06] hey guys im going to upgrade to firefox 3.5 and was wondering if its better and more stable than firefox 3? [03:06] Gaming4JC: when grub comes up, hit e and you can edit the boot line, the main boot line add a 3 to the end and it should leave you in terminal [03:06] sebsebseb: I asked you about the bootloader. It worked, but now windows has made its own bootloader so i have two now, both that allow me to do the same thing [03:06] IdleOne, you're on 9.04 right? [03:07] usser: yes [03:07] Hi. Can I have /dev/tty6 be an automatic remote login to my server? [03:07] guest9214: oh [03:07] IdleOne, yea so try UXA [03:07] shane2peru: ok that sounds good. [03:07] Gaming4JC: I assume you are working on a separate computer? [03:07] no [03:07] guest9214: ok is that a proper psyiical install, or did you use Wubi? [03:07] what should i do? either one works [03:07] shane2peru, i am right about to finish the clean install, i have to do what's noted in response 21 on this thread first though https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/364706 [03:07] shane2peru: dual booting... :-/ [03:07] i'm trying to activate my nvidia accelerated graphics drivers and i get an error that the jokey backend has crashed [03:08] Gaming4JC: hmm, that is going to make it difficult, [03:08] physical.

[03:10] shane2peru: sounds good for me. Then what :) [03:10] usser: :) [03:10] Gaming4JC: then we are going to remove what you installed and see what happens with a reboot [03:10] IdleOne, found it? [03:10] Gaming4JC: sudo apt-get remove fglrx-* [03:10] usser: yes [03:11] shane2peru: writing that down now... [03:11] lol...this chan is hard to follow [03:11] mow: it can be yes [03:11] Gaming4JC: then type reboot and try to boot into it again the normal way and see if that works, I have my doubts about it, but lets try that. [03:11] mow: hence why we autocomplete [03:11] zebastian0: looking now [03:11] usser: ok, edited. restart X? [03:12] mow: and put peoples names in our messages so their IRC clients highlight the message [03:12] sebsebseb > i realize this [03:12] zebastian0: hmm, that looks like a sound fix, not graphics, you mean to fix graphics?

I used a recovery shell typed the command, and then reconfigured Xorg. Now it's back to normal. Thank You!!! :D [03:24] this is pretty interesting [03:24] n8tuser: but how is it rotating things when "logrotate" doesn't exist on the server ? [03:24] shane2peru: do you know where the official ATI radeon drivers for 64bit Jaunty are? :) [03:24] usser_: launchpad.net search for the number [03:24] Gaming4JC: glad it workd for you [03:25] hey guys sup [03:25] Samus-> did you looked in that file? [03:25] bucky: again, there is no "logrotate" binary on the system, as far as I can tell. I replaced /usr/sbin/logrotate with a symlink to /bin/true [03:25] shane2peru ok i'm there, linux x86 [03:25] Wondering if anyone here knows what kind of images IE6 properly displays transpaaarent backgrounds with [03:25] Gaming4JC: are you having problems with the drivers that are being used at the moment? [03:25] n8tuser: yes [03:25] zebastian0: ok, select Radeon [03:25] usser_: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/304871 [03:25] shane2peru: Not anything noticable, but there's no graphic acceleration for 3d apps. [03:25] MagnoFlux: So, do you actually get as far as logging in? [03:25] dm-madman, png definitely [03:26] Samus-> also look in /etc/logrotate.d [03:26] dm-madman: 8bit or less PNG images are fine, alpha-blended are not [03:26] zebastian0: then select ATI Radeon hd 3xxx series and download that [03:26] shane2peru ok selected radeon and now which do i select [03:26] zebastian0: ^^^^ see above [03:26] •bobertdos• no - i dont even get as far as than - on grub it auto starts ubuntu - and black screen arrives [03:26] n8tuser: I don't want to use logrotate, I want to find out how it is running when it doesn't exist ... [03:26] mounting /dev/sda2 is rerturning 'type unknown' ... any ideas why and what to do about it? [03:26] shane2peru next page i download right? [03:26] u have php mailer [03:26] u have php mailer [03:27] mounting /dev/sda2 is rerturning 'type unknown' ... any ideas why and what to do about it? [03:27] Gaming4JC: if you really want to try and get the 3d stuff then you can install the proprietary drivers from the web site, but somehow that leaves you out in the cold when it comes to ubuntu support [03:27] zebastian0: correct [03:27] how do I upgrade firefox to 3.5 without having to update all my packages or download the binary from firefox's website? [03:27] tehbaut, if no one can answer that here right now you can also try the #linux channel [03:27] !ff35 | ramiro [03:27] ramiro: Firefox 3.5 Final is available for Jaunty by installing the package firefox-3.5 and firefox-3.5-gnome-support | FF3.5 is referred to as Shiretoko in your UI, see http://is.gd/1reB3 for an explanation | Hardy & Intrepid: http://is.gd/1jkNY [03:28] Samus, dpkg -L logrotate if you have linux then you have logrotate [03:28] coz_ thanks for the tip :) [03:28] Gaming4JC: so how important is 3d to ya? [03:28] sebsebseb: thanks [03:28] ramiro: np [03:28] tehbaut, no problem they have an overal linux approach so I often suggest that channel as an alternative [03:28] shane2peru: fairly important, I use Blender tons and play some 3d games often -- it helps with Wine as well. [03:28] Samus-> did you also look at what syslogd is doing? [03:28] ikonia, are you there? [03:28] bucky: are you really new to GNU+Linux operating systems ? I have said four or five times already that I removed the "logrotate" executable from the system and replaced it with a symlink to /bin/true. [03:29] Gaming4JC: back up first. :) I have them installed and works fine [03:29] ikonia, how have you been? [03:29] Gaming4JC: are you running 64bit or 32? [03:29] usser_: anymore thoughts? [03:29] Samus, why did you do that? [03:29] shane2peru: 64bit Jaunty [03:29] \o/ [03:29] Shane2peru: Core i7 920 if the cpu matters :) [03:30] Gaming4JC: how new are you to linux? [03:30] shane2peru downloading [03:30] •bobertdos• seems i gotta roll for today - thx for lookin at my prob tho - ill bbl [03:30] bucky: because I don't want log files to ever rotate [03:30] Samus, if you just go about rm'ing files you're going to screw up your package manager [03:30] zebastian0: ok, when it is done, installation should be simple [03:30] Shane2peru: I've used Ubuntu since Hardy Heron -- tested Live CDs out since Hoary HedgeHog [03:30] bucky: and Ubuntu doesn't give you the option to remove the package without removing most of the system [03:31] Shane2peru: So I know my way around terminals and have a novice/intermediate feel for them [03:31] Samus, actually it does.. it's called equivs [03:31] Gaming4JC: ok, here is the link: http://ati.amd.com/support/driver.HTML [03:31] bucky: you can't screw up apt by removing files, unless those files are part of apt's configuration. and as I said, I didn't remove any files, I replaced the system default [03:31] Gaming4JC: look at the instructions too, and you should be able to install it [03:32] Guys, I have a bash script that runs fine when I run it manually. But doesn't when in a cronjob. Any clues? [03:32] bucky: you're still missing the point: how is Ubuntu rotating my log files when my system doesn't have a logrotate binary on it ? [03:32] IdleOne, seems fishy, some people claim the issue is the kernel others blame the driver [03:32] Gaming4JC: you should be able to install that yourself, fairly easily, just make sure you look at the instructions [03:33] usser_: so for now I am stuck in limbo [03:33] shane2peru: Thanks for the info! :D looking into it now... [03:33] IdleOne, i dunno, if you have enough expertise you can try building your own kernel or just wait for karmic koala [03:33] IdleOne, yea pretty much [03:33] rashed2020: .bashrc isn't sourced? [03:33] usser_: I will wait but thanks for your help :) [03:33] Gaming4JC: no prob, if you run into a snag I will probably be here [03:33] IdleOne, no problem [03:34] is firefox 3.5 pre-release the latest version for linux? [03:34] MrSchmo, the latest version for linux is whatever is on mozilla.com [03:35] Samus, you're the one who knows everything.. you tell me [03:36] * eliotn wants his ubuntu computer to compete with that new mac [03:36] is it me or is firefox 3.5 not as stable === ScottG489 is now known as ScottG [03:36] MrSchmo: in usual ways yes, but you could (own risk) also add the repo and have the latest nightly build [03:36] kudi1, firefox is stable is an oxymoron :) [03:37] 9.04 having issues with sound?

I also replaced the contents of /etc/cron.daily/logrotate with only "/bin/true" in it [03:44] ok, to install this it is best to go to a tty terminal and we are going to kill x, so you are going to need to write these instructions down [03:44] zebastian: ^^^^^ [03:44] shane2peru, hold on a moment [03:44] i'll be right back ok [03:44] zebastian: ok, no prob [03:44] tyler_d, you running any firewalls?

[04:15] shane2peru wait a sec [04:15] zebastian: I would have to say, you are going to have to either A. try a different distro, or B.

[04:15] zebastian: you can continue searching for answers, but it is going to be tough [04:15] dead1ock: In bzr, you can have .bzrignore file, which will ignore certain filename patterns from being versioned, git might have something similar. [04:15] quartknee: python-twitter seems to be in the Jaunty repositories... sudo apt-get install pythin-twitter [04:16] shane2peru hold on a moment ok [04:16] zebastian: I think it would be a waste of your time to try Hardy honestly, but if you have no other options and have the time, give it a try [04:16] zebastian: ok [04:16] what is zebastians problem?

[04:17] shane2peru, probelm the phpmyadmin no found why? http://paste.org/pastebin/view/10449 [04:17] jmarsden: It sounds like his default route is misconfigured to me. [04:17] The Firefox I am running on my Windows box is 3.5. but the Firefox on my Ubuntu box is 3.0.. Is this deliberate? [04:17] Pici: Quite possibly, yes. [04:17] shane2peru what is the command to check which card i have [04:17] lspci something? [04:17] harisund, yes. Firefox 3.5 doesn't ship with Jaunty; you'll have to install it yourself. [04:17] zebastian: lspci | grep -i vga [04:17] harisund: firefox-3.0 and firefox-3.5 are a separate packages. [04:17] zebastian: right lspci | grep ati [04:17] harisund: FF3.5 wasn't out when Jaunty was released. [04:18] zebastian: oh, use jmarsden it will probably work better [04:18] lspci | grep VGA is more generic [04:18] jmarsden: Thank you! Do you suggest any other repositories worth picking up? I'd like to explore a little beyond the default ubuntu stuff. [04:18] RedSocrates, leaf-sheep, Pici ah ok .. is there any "official Ubuntu" way of install this Firefox that wouldn't void my warranty? ;-) [04:18] !ff35 | harisund [04:18] harisund: Firefox 3.5 Final is available for Jaunty by installing the package firefox-3.5 and firefox-3.5-gnome-support | FF3.5 is referred to as Shiretoko in your UI, see http://is.gd/1reB3 for an explanation | Hardy & Intrepid: http://is.gd/1jkNY [04:19] shane2peru i got 01:05.9 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RS780M/RS780MN [Radeon HD 3200 Graphics] [04:19] Pici, sweet man thanks. I am afraid to do anything with my Ubuntu box, else I go make a post in the forums and everyone yells at me "why do you do it like that, that is not the way things are done with Ubuntu" :) This is better [04:19] Hey all! Do you suggest any other repositories worth picking up? I'd like to explore a little beyond the default ubuntu stuff. [04:19] zebastian: yep that is what we installed the 3xxx series [04:19] quartknee: Generally you can look in PPAs for interesting new stuff once you know what you are looking for. Not sure there are any "big" unofficial Ubuntu repos -- just a lot of people doing interesting things in tehir own PPAs on Launchpad. [04:19] shane2peru why not the 3200 hd series? [04:20] quartknee, how about medibuntu? Or do you already have that? [04:20] zebastian: did I overlook it??? [04:20] Oneshade: Seriously, can you /join #ubuntu-server and I will try to work with you on the server networking issue you are having in that channel ? [04:21] shane2peru give me the link again [04:21] zebastian: because there is no 3200 series [04:21] zebastian: http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/index.aspx [04:22] Oneshade-> you can stay here too, nothing unique to make it a server only type of networking issue [04:22] hello [04:22] zebastian: have you tried the radeon driver? [04:22] n8tuser: Right, it is just a lot noisier in here :) [04:22] zebastian: I found it! [04:22] shane2peru which is it? [04:22] shane2peru: it's under integrated [04:22] zebastian: you have to click on integrated [04:22] DigitalKiwi: why didn't you point that out before? :) [04:23] jmarsden-> its okay, people have to share the learnings [04:23] necesito que me hayuden a configurar mi servidor ubuntu 9.04 [04:23] well i didn't click the link until a minute ago [04:23] zebastian: I should probably install that on mine too! lol [04:23] !es | pedro [04:23] pedro: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [04:23] jmarsden-> we can all benefit from sharing of such info [04:23] * zebastian is downloading [04:24] n8tuser: Sure. But newcomers may find it easier to work in a quieter channel, that channel is open to all, including you, and is logged, just as this one is... I did not suggest going to private messages :) [04:24] zebastian: I'm about to check out for the night, do you think you can run through it again? [04:24] anyone gotten a virgin mobile broadband2go to work in ubuntu yet? [04:24] zebastian: how long for download? [04:25] shane2peru hold on [04:25] it's only [04:25] it's about 8 minutes [04:26] wait [04:26] RabidWeezle, i got an EVDO card to work... [04:26] if it's the same type of deal there are plenty tutorials [04:26] Out_Cold, did you have to do the "usb_modeswitch" thing? [04:26] zebastian: you can delete that other one [04:26] shane2peru please help me try this out [04:26] i did [04:27] zebastian: ok, will do [04:27] RabidWeezle, no i don't think so. [04:27] which version of ubuntu are you running? === MK-ubuntu is now known as MK-BB [04:27] Out_Cold, kubuntu jaunty latest kernel [04:27] i think KDE's female and GNOME is male [04:28] i had to use netowrk manager to get it going i think. [04:28] i haven't tried with wicd [04:28] because KDE is subject to being bloated and GNOME only works when it wants to? [04:28] shane2peru: thinks wicd rules [04:28] * shane2peru thinks wicd rules [04:28] haha kiwi [04:28] <3 wicd [04:28] * zebastian concurs [04:29] i use wicd too.. [04:29] Out_Cold, big problem with this card is it's got a switchable usb storage on to hold the windows drivers XD [04:29] Does updatedb work for say a usb hdd? I need to find a specific .pdf [04:29] but haven't used it with EVDO [04:29] my Verizon evdo card works perfectly in jaunty.. no extra stuff required [04:29] i need some advise i have karmic installed at the moment but im thinkin about installing jaunty again so i can add kde can i install kde in karmic like in jaunty [04:29] RabidWeezle, that doesn't sound like the same as i had. [04:29] zebastian: let's hope they don't breed [04:30] cjae: You can ask updatedb to scan any mounted filesystem. But for a eon time thing, find /media/whatever -name "name-of-file.pdf" may be easier :) [04:30] webbb82, it's the same process [04:30] webbb82: yes and Karmic talk is here #ubuntu+1 [04:30] !es | pedro [04:30] pedro: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [04:30] crap [04:30] I was scrolled up and didn't realize it [04:30] * seidos smacks himself [04:31] !language | seidos [04:31] seidos: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [04:31] seidos: :) at the bot, and heh at you :D [04:31] shane2peru since you installed yours are you able to run compiz and watch movies without them getting stuck? [04:31] !lamp | sebsebseb [04:31] sebsebseb: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [04:31] jmarsden, so find /media/whatever -name *.pdf will work with a mounted ntfs fs? [04:32] * seidos will stop abusing ubottu now [04:32] cjae: Yes, it doesn't care what type of fs it is searching, basically [04:32] jmarsden, ok thanks [04:32] zebastian: I was processing videos, making videos, and no never did get it right [04:32] cjae: No problem. Oh, should do -name "*.pdf" -- quote the name if it has any wildcards in it. [04:33] zebastian: however everything boots up, and I monitored temps, and it ran a looooot cooler with those drivers installed [04:33] seidos: heh [04:33] <_MrsApple_> hi, is there a flashplayer that works with ubuntu? im not sure how to update mine or even how to find out where i need to update it. [04:33] I need help with email.. have a pesky 'relay not permitted' problem.. my exim4 server permits neither the spam to relay through, which is good, nor the email I want to receive, which is BAD.. ideas how to resolve this? [04:33] _MrsApple_: sudo apt-get intstall flashplugin-installer [04:33] shane2peru did the getting stuck mid movie cease? [04:33] _MrsApple_: Flash can be a bit bad in Ubuntu, because it's closed source [04:33] zebastian: you may have helped me with mine too, tomorrow I will install on mine [04:33] !flash | _MrsApple_ [04:34] woulod the jaunty repos work for karmic koala [04:34] _MrsApple_: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [04:34] zebastian: I don't watch movies on mine, but I'm sure that would be fixed, it is less processor intensive than processing videos [04:34] sebsebseb: what is the excuse of gnash and the open ati drivers? [04:34] zebastian: I watched the temps on mine, and they would start to climb with anything I did [04:34] they are open but still suck ;P [04:34] DigitalKiwi: Gnash and ATI drivers aren't related I think [04:34] sanchiro: sudo dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config and reconfigure it the way you want [04:34] DigitalKiwi: hmm [04:34] zebastian: installing the drivers made it run cooler, I have read reports of movies doing the same thing [04:35] DigitalKiwi: not all opensource/freesoftware is amazing, because of lack of developers [04:35] DigitalKiwi: also when it comes to drivers, it's more about lack of manufacture support, when they aren't that good [04:35] like with the ATI driver lol [04:35] How do I detect drivers with Ubuntu? [04:35] the 64 bit alpha/flash whatever flash driver has been really good to me, as has been nvidia [04:35] * Out_Cold uses nvidia and still has issues [04:36] Out_Cold: Nivida's fault, those drivers are closed source [04:36] yea [04:36] shane2peru what about changing my graphics card? is that possible? what is a better brand and what are usual prices? also how can i check if that's doable on my laptop? [04:36] DigitalKiwi: yes, but Firefox isn't even 64bit, so there is a breakdown there. [04:36] <_MrsApple_> sebsebseb, im pretty sure we had it on our comp already.... how do i check the updates on here??? [04:36] zebastian: I know nothing about that, I assume it is probably integrated, and therefore cannot be changed [04:37] Hi! my external is correctly labeled "ehd-data" but display in gnome as "150 GB Media" and is mounted on /media/disk (this happened after a resize with gparted). How do i get the system respect label name for mount point and display name ? thx. [04:37] _MrsApple_: there won't be any updates for Flash, accept maybe a security update, but probably not [04:37] _MrsApple_, just reinstall it and it will let you know if it's already installed or in need of updating [04:37] shane2peru: how do i have firefox without 32 bit lib depends if it's not 64 bit? how come I can compile it? the answer is it is 64 bit ;p [04:38] _MrsApple_: and then when a proper later Flash version comes out, well that will be in a later Ubuntu [04:38] DigitalKiwi: well, I could be wrong, but I don't think mozilla has released 64bit version [04:38] When I turn on the computer it logs in automatically but then it asks me for a password to connect to the wifi. How do I connect to wifi w/o password? [04:38] DigitalKiwi: if you have the link to their 64bit firefox, I would love to see it. [04:39] <_MrsApple_> sebsebseb, and what if my bf (its mainly his comp) decides not to switch to different version of ubuntu? can i delete an existing flash or whatev and just reinstall? [04:40] _MrsApple_: you can get it from Adobe yeah [04:40] http://wiki.mozilla-x86-64.com/Firefox:Download here it is for windows anyway [04:40] any ideas why I would be denied permission to cd to a directory owned by a group my account is a member of? [04:40] <_MrsApple_> thx sebsebseb !!! [04:40] Anyone use Synergy cross-platform with windows? [04:40] zebastian: ok, my time is running out, you are going to have to open the terminal, type: cd Desktop [04:40] zebastian: then, type: chmod +x ati(tab) [04:40] shane2peru, yes it's only a few secs remaining [04:40] ok [04:41] _MrsApple_: and basically any OS should eventuaully be updated, or changed to some other OS that is supported by security updates, because they stop being supported [04:41] _MrsApple_: no problem [04:41] zebastian: then type: sudo ./ati(tab) [04:41] Hi! my external is correctly labeled "ehd-data" but display in gnome as "150 GB Media" and is mounted on /media/disk (this happened after a resize with gparted). How do i get the system respect label name for mount point and display name ? thx. [04:42] shane2peru i got the following output [04:42] DigitalKiwi: right, but I don't think it exists for Linux, you can compile 32bit software on 64bit box without a problem [04:42] DigitalKiwi: wine is the same way, it maybe compiled for 64bit, but it still only processes 32bits at a time [04:42] sudo ./ati-driver-installer-9-9.x86,x86_64.run: command not founod [04:42] shane2peru [04:42] shane2peru: ftp://us.archive.ubuntu.com:/ubuntu/pool/main/f/firefox-3.5/firefox-3.5_3.5.3+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu2_amd64.deb is 64bit firefox ... [04:43] These are the steps I'm taking to add user to group and set directory permissions, any ideas why I would be denied access? http://pastebin.com/m2f2b58bf [04:43] zebastian: did you run: chmod +x ati(tab) [04:43] I have a Novatech NV-902W (Ralink RT2570 chipset) that worked flawlessly out of the box on 9.04. I reverted to 8.10 for gfx drivers and it's not recognized (Though it displays the name when issuing 'lsusb') [04:43] shane2peru: fedora i know has both 32 bit and 64 bit firefoxes easily available [04:43] My question, what could I do to get the drivers from 9.04 (repositories?) to 8.10? [04:43] shane2peru ok doing so now === marty is now known as Guest49018 [04:44] shane2peru uncompressing [04:44] zebastian: ok, you want to select install, and automatic installation [04:44] amites: Adding a group does not take effect right away. Log out and back in and your user will be in that www-data group. [04:44] amites: But why are you doing that??? [04:44] shane2peru ok, and after that? [04:45] zebastian: it should pop up the gui to run through [04:45] shane2peru yes, ok, once it's done downloading, i reboot adn check it out and if it doesnt work, reconfigure to default right? [04:45] otherwise itmeans it worked [04:45] Ok, something's wrong with the desktop area. I'm on 8.04; Nautilus seems to be working fine, but I can't select or right-click anything on the desktop. My mouse is otherwise working fine. [04:46] DigitalKiwi: I'm working on 64bit Jaunty and too installed firefox, however it is only 32bit, because 64bit java didn't work with it [04:46] Anyone willing to look at my question? [04:46] zebastian: correct [04:46] jmarsden: it's a server, thank you [04:46] shane2peru what's cups? [04:46] DigitalKiwi: after googling, I found out there wasn't a 64bit Linux firefox [04:46] zebastian: cups is what communicates with your printer [04:46] amites: No problem. [04:47] shane2peru: What version of Firefox? I think there are older ones. [04:47] shane2peru: and after googling i found several instances of 64 bit linux firefox [04:47] coldboot|home: I had upgraded to the latest at that time, I since went back to what was in the repos [04:47] coldboot|home: I worked through ubuntuzilla, you can look on the forums, it is documented there [04:47] shane2peru: I can't remember, but I do remember having 64-bit versions of Firefox a while ago. It could have been v2 [04:48] shane2peru, have three min? [04:48] ah ok [04:48] xeer you can add the repositories from intrepid to jaunty but it might break your system [04:49] DigitalKiwi: you have to separate the name form the actual product, it may say Firefox-3.5-amd64, because it is built to be installed on 64bit box, but doesn't mean it is truely 64bit [04:49] Out_Cold: there is no networking; since the wireless is not functional at this point [04:49] xeer another option is to build the driver yourself from the device vendors [04:49] shane2peru, it seems to have worked...:O...does it mean now i can get compiz and play movies? [04:49] Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.1.2) Gecko/20090804 Firefox/3.5.2 [04:50] from help about [04:50] shane2peru do i delete the file from the desktop now? [04:50] If I were to kill the nautilus process that runs by default, what would happen? [04:50] zebastian: you should be good to go! [04:50] zebastian: you can keep it or delete it, you may need it in the case of an update [04:50] Out_Cold: yes that I what I am trying to do now but If I update the linux kernel wont I have to recompile each time? [04:50] xeer, that also happens with wifi cards. i usually plug in with a wire, update, then disconnect and go wireless [04:50] bye all [04:51] shane2peru I would like to thank you and all of the people involved in the channel [04:51] for your great help, you have been all very kind [04:51] Out_Cold: not all of us have the luxury of wired + wireless connections. [04:51] zebastian: glad to be of help [04:51] not too sure [04:51] this includes but is not limited to sebsebseb bro seidos [04:51] ActionParsnip [04:51] DigitalDarkness [04:51] agreed.. but it's a quick fix [04:51] thank you so much guys [04:51] zebastian: no problem and good luck with ATI and that :) [04:52] * JaGG e [04:52] -me e [04:52] When I boot my computer, I don't want a login screen. I want a command line login (run level 3 basically), and I want to be able to launch Gnome or whatever with a startx or equivalent instead of using the login manager. Any suggestions? [04:52] brb [04:53] hey guys, kinda simple question.. I'm using ubuntu 9.04 64bit.. does that mean everything in repos is 64bit? [04:53] specially desktop enviornments.... i was thinking of checking out lxde [04:53] I added medibuntu as a repository but I can't seem to access it with Synaptic Package manager to browse it. Is it listed under something other than medibuntu? [04:53] as a fast desktop [04:54] Question, If I put 9.04 on a usb stick could I pull the built-in drivers onto my 8.10 system? [04:56] quartknee: medibuntu is the repository, the collection of packages. What package do you want to install from it? [04:57] !medibuntu [04:57] medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [04:58] sebsebseb, how can i look at the log of the conversation I just had with shane2peru [04:59] zebaztian: your IRC client probably has a log, but also [04:59] !log [04:59] Official channel logs can be found at http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ - For LoCo channels, http://logs.ubuntu-eu.org/freenode/ [05:00] for some reason evolution wont let me resize the side panel and its shrunk to where all the names of my folders just say ... do i need to reinstall evolution? [05:00] zebaztian: You can also find the log files under ~/.xchat2/xchatlogs/ if you enabled logging in xchat [05:01] jmarsden, I just enabled it [05:01] anyone know of a flowchart program that can export to-->from data? [05:01] zebaztian: OK, well next time you will know where to find the logs, at least :) [05:02] :) [05:02] help : FATAL: Module ndiswrapper not found.

[05:06] OzFalcon: No, xfig is mroe of a drawing program that can export to a wide variety of formats... probably not what you are looking for. [05:06] jmarsden, no. If I want to build a car port mabie ;-) [05:07] jmarsden, I'm not sure what to call that format. So It's making it hard to find a prg [05:08] jmarsden, Hmmm. Looking under "node listing" [05:08] maybe dia? [05:08] i don't know what you want exactly either :/ [05:08] what's the difference between cpufreqd powernowd etc ?

[05:11] manous, Sure there ain't drivers from 4328. Sure you should be using ndiswrapper? [05:11] I dont see any download available... [05:11] Just installed ubuntu latest release, cannot connect to the interwebs. OS sees both of my network cards. [05:11] manous, Sure there ain't drivers for 4328. Sure you should be using ndiswrapper? [05:12] Seems ubuntu "assumes" everyone has networking that wants to compile [05:12] i'm sure. 4328 was not listed [05:12] garv, PC on internal net? [05:12] mans28far, moment [05:12] both are onboard cards [05:12] xeer, not really. ubuntu just assumes most users won't need to compile anything to get a functional system, and that if someone wants a compiler, they will be able to figure out how to get it:) [05:13] xeer, assuming you have some kind of internet somewhere, you can download and install the .debs manually from a usb? [05:13] wow,what does it mean? [05:14] mans28far, Have you tried the broadcom sta drivers (Just for a shot in the dark)? [05:15] mans28far, I know it's not listed but..... [05:15] its like the router isnt giving either of the cards IP addresses [05:15] garv, Have you tried manualy setting ip? [05:15] i'll give a try [05:15] garv, what does ifconfig say?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [05:19] jmarsden, Too advanced and not needed yet [05:19] cainram: give us more details [05:20] garv, hold tight [05:20] sec I'm on my mac let me copy txt to a flash drive [05:20] this is a FRESH install [05:20] is there any sort of setup im not doing [05:20] drivers maybe? [05:20] Howdy all, I just recently bought a wireless network card, i already checked the compatibility with ubuntu already.. just wondering what i should do about various drivers / procedure to install hardware? [05:20] I mounted an ISO as a volume and all was well until I rebooted. Now I've got this thing on my desktop (not an actual file in my home/desktop) that says XYZ.volume. I can't get rid of it. [05:20] garv, no. are both nics on the mobo [05:21] XYZ.iso.volume, sorry [05:21] <[R]> Mushrooms: if it works then you dont need to do anything [05:21] just wondering because my raid volume isnt showing up either [05:21] Is it possible to get intrepid 8.10 to read ext4? [05:21] garv, one thing at a time [05:21] Running a current 9.04 install [05:21] [R] : yeah well it has got like installation instructions that came with the box... but that's for windows, not linux.. and it does say in big red letters "STOP" run the installation cd first before connecting this device [05:22] soo, this is why i came here looking for a second opinion [05:22] cainram: did you try to remove the mountpoint of the farmer iso-file ? [05:22] no, I'm not sure what you mean... [05:22] xeer: yes [05:22] garv, Load system/admin/network tools. [05:22] xeer: http://www.tuxmind.org/2009/01/06/ext4-su-ubuntu-810/ [05:23] whoops, sorry that's not in english [05:23] loaded [05:23] kd8JHC: hrm [05:23] cainram: you said you mounted an iso; every fs is mounted to a directory... [05:23] does it list ipv4 on the local (loopback) [05:24] yes it does [05:24] 127.0.0.01 as the ip [05:24] garv, ok. [05:24] garv, pull the list down. do you have eth0 and eth1 [05:24] DasEi: i'm not seeing anything in /mnt or /media related to my problem, is this what you mean? [05:25] yes [05:25] xeer: if you have kernel 2.6.28 it should work in 8.10 [05:25] do you still want me to paste the ifconfig results in? [05:25] sooo.. umm any comments on my problem? [05:25] garv not yet [05:25] kd8JHC: 8.10 ships with 2.6.27 [05:25] [R]: Your last message read like a slogan. ;-) [05:26] <[R]> Mushrooms: thats for windows [05:26] <[R]> Mushrooms: if it works in ubuntu... then you dont need to do anythign [05:26] xeer: dk what to tell you then [05:26] How does Gnome Keep track of my pseudo-desktop stuff? is it a text or config file somewhere that I could manually edit? [05:26] garv, go to a terminal [05:26] [R]: alright imma give it a shot [05:26] <[R]> cainram: psuedo-desktop? [05:26] cainram: if you right-click the symbol on you disk > properties > volume , something given there ? [05:26] okay [05:26] You know, like mounted volumes and launchers... [05:26] Hmm, one second [05:26] <[R]> cainram: hal knows what is mounted [05:27] Hal? [05:27] I feel like more of a noob every day... [05:27] garv, type: cat /etc/network/interfaces [05:28] location is listed as "x-nautilus-desktop:///" [05:28] It isn't acting like a mounted volume [05:28] all in one line just like that? [05:28] garv: yes [05:28] tep [05:28] cainram: in terminal type mount is there an entry like /dev/loop0 on then some path? [05:28] one sec [05:29] says no such file or directory [05:29] cainram: simply drag icon into trash ? [05:29] garv, make sure no typos [05:30] garv, Sure it's not there? [05:30] sorry didnt see the space. auto lo... iface lo inet loopback [05:30] was what i go [05:30] got* [05:30] garv, good. [05:30] dasei: Not working, but I'm a firm believer that the obvious is often overlooked. I've tried deleting it in all of the usual ways. Sometimes I get errors, sometimes nothing but the icon persists. [05:30] howdie chanel [05:30] garv, and entries for eth0 or eth1? [05:31] i'm having trouble with the desktop computer, i am trying to paste some files in etc udev rules.d i tried chmod 777 /etc/udev/rules.d and yet when i try to paste the files it tells me permission is denied [05:31] no all i got was what i typed [05:31] garv, ok [05:31] garv, Thinking........................ [05:31] dasei: the error I get on Delete is "The specified location is not supported" [05:31] OZfal [05:31] got it [05:31] thanks [05:32] mans28far, working or just got/compiled it? [05:32] working [05:32] mans28far, with STA? [05:32] yup [05:32] mans28far, Cool. [05:33] Ok, I'm going to reboot because my whole nautilus situation is misbehaving... Thanks for the help :) I'll try back later [05:33] garv, Gawd. What happens when you type: sudo ifup eth0 [05:34] moin [05:34] ignoring unknown interface [05:35] garv, ok. backtrack. when you type ifconfig [05:35] ok guys here's what I want to do. When I keep pressing the enter key I want a program to run. [05:35] anyway I can do it? [05:35] garv, The device associated to ip6 was what? [05:36] garv, did you say both nics were ONBOARD? [05:36] sorry, i was trying to enter it manually when i typed that last command [05:36] i switched it back to auto [05:36] does anybody know a chanel about finding other chanels? [05:36] and got ifup: interface eth0 already configured [05:36] yes both nic's are onboard [05:36] like a chanel directory chanel? [05:37] sorry for posting my question here [05:37] Anybody? Any suggestions? I want to execute a program when I keep the "Enter" key pressed for more than 10 seconds [05:37] garv. ok. So nics are seen. ip4 is available. But not being assign to nics...... [05:37] correct [05:37] Gawd [05:38] Thinking...... === sorteal is now known as drunken_sorteal [05:38] froduntu: /msg alis help list [05:38] eth0 was the one that had inet6 listed [05:38] hi, i'm trying to use xmacro with ubuntu 9.04 but apparently i cant? [05:38] eth1 did not [05:38] froduntu: there is also http://searchirc.com and http://irc.netsplit.de for online listings [05:38] "xmacro is broken with ubuntu 9.04, so if your running ubuntu 9.04 dont bother trying this, the how-to is good, but the esc key (or whatever key you assign) wont work, this is a known bug" [05:38] eth0 is where its plugged in atm [05:38] would someone like to reply to this =D [05:38] thanks [05:39] garv, eth1 didn't have ip4 with it did it?? [05:39] no [05:39] it has neither listed [05:39] garv, ok. ifdown eth0 [05:39] garv, sudo ifdown eth0 [05:40] I'm back [05:40] okay [05:40] the problem persists... [05:40] and will xmacro still have issues in 9.10 alpha..? [05:40] cainram: in terminal type mount is there an entry like /dev/loop0 on then some path? [05:41] i'm willing to try out an alpha os if that will solve it [05:41] I've tried that and don't see anything standing out... [05:41] can I paste that output here or is that rude?

[05:43] http://paste.ubuntu.com/271334/ [05:43] garv, once these are in your interfaces files, type: sudo ifup eth0 [05:44] okay i have the changes typed out [05:44] is there anysort of save command i need to type [05:44] garv,save the file (cntrl-o) [05:45] what was the command to open up sources list? gksudo gedit /etc/sources.list ? [05:45] hello all [05:45] zebaztian: /etc/apt/sources.list [05:45] Is there a command-line only interface to networkmanager? [05:45] cainram: its not there. i would try remounting the iso with the same command you used the first time and then unmount it properly [05:46] harisund: use wicd [05:46] DigitalKiwi, will check it out thanks :) [05:46] which not only is better but has an ncurses interface, i don't think networkmanager does [05:46] DigitalKiwi, Just what i would need then [05:47] <3 wicd [05:47] I tried that earlier... The craziest thing happens. As soon as I open the .iso with Archive Mounter all of my desktop Icons disappear and my cube deformation stops working. [05:47] its doing a dhcpdiscover [05:48] running lines of that right now [05:48] How to deinstall packages via console? [05:48] garv, type: ifconfig again to see if you have an ip4 address. [05:48] Reactor: sudo aptitude remove packagename [05:48] Reactor: sudo apt-get remove --purge package_name [05:48] thx] [05:49] which is better? [05:49] Reactor: I put the --purge there so that configuration files would be deleted as well if you are not going to be reinstalling it later and want the same configuration. [05:49] ok thx ;) [05:49] I'm going to logout and back in... [05:49] no but there's an extra eth0 line now [05:49] http://packages.ubunut.com/intrepid/dpkg-dev [05:49] notice the domain name?? IS THIS A SECURITY FLAW?? [05:49] let me recheck what i typed while doing the nano cmd [05:50] I don't know if it was updates or installing Sun Java, but now I get crackling noise through my speakers and headset. Anyone have any suggestions? [05:50] shouldn't packages come from ubuntu.com and not "ubunut"? [05:50] the lines i added [05:50] i plugged my wireless card in... and then booted ubuntu.. I don't think that it is working [05:50] Does anyone know how to unmount a network directory in ubuntu netbook remix? When I was running ubuntu desktop, i was able to just right click the icon and pick unmount volume [05:50] iface eth0 inet dhcp [05:50] xeer: it may be an official mirror [05:50] then i gave it an ip and netmask [05:50] and added auto eth0 [05:50] at the end [05:51] garv, it should ignore the address (because it's getting via dhcp) [05:51] should i delete the address and netmask lines? [05:51] anyone available to give me some advice on my wireless network card? [05:51] garv, no don't worry about them [05:51] i'm back [05:51] Mushrooms: get intel [05:51] is there a program that will allow me to graphically monitor my local area network? I just want to be able to see who is connected to my network [05:51] xeer: if you do a "whois ubunut.com" you'll see that ubunut.com IS actually owned by Canonical, the same company that backs Ubuntu [05:52] xeer: i'd guess they bought it to protect people who make typos [05:52] hi, guys, in 'ifconfig', what is "Bcast", is that like the default gateway in windows? [05:52] DigitalKiwi: sorry? I don't understand what you mean [05:52] Again, when i try to check the properties of this icon I get the location as 'x-nautilus-desktop:///" [05:52] xeer: ubunut.com appears to point to ubuntu.com [05:52] what does this mean? [05:52] k1en: it's the LAN broadcast address [05:52] garv, was ip4 listed in any ethX when you ran ifconfig again? [05:52] intel network cards are very well supported [05:52] cainram: likely the desktop provided by nautilus [05:53] yes [05:53] DigitalKiwi: *sigh* i only wish someone told me that the otherday when i was asking which one i should buy [05:53] in the new eth0 lines [05:53] lstarnes, erm, is that the same as gateway? how do i find the gateway? [05:53] is this accessible like a mount point, or a file or what? [05:53] cainram: open terminal and type cd Desktop then type ls -al is the icon listed? [05:53] but there were 2 entrys for eth0 [05:53] DigitalKiwi: someone re-directed me to a ubuntu page listing some hardware compatibilities [05:53] one did not look right [05:53] k1en: no, it's different [05:53] garv, can you ping that ip from the box your typing from ? [05:53] k1en: it is used for sending packets to every local host [05:53] DigitalKiwi: then i cross check the one with good support [05:53] DigitalKiwi: plug it in.. now don't know what to do with it [05:53] k1en: the gateway transmits packets to the outside network [05:53] Mushrooms: well as long as you don't have broadcom you're probably set too [05:54] i got a netgear [05:54] no. [05:54] lstarnes, i see, thanks, so how do i find out the gateway address? [05:54] k1en: the broadcast usually ends in .255. gateways often have .1, but it can be anything from 1 to 254 [05:54] no i cant [05:54] cainram: can you see it on the Desktop? [05:54] its a 169 ip [05:54] k1en: you will usually need to know it already or guess it [05:54] DigitalKiwi: Netgear WG311 Wireless PCI Card 802.11G (54Mbps) [05:55] do i need to ifdown before i edit that config? [05:55] garv, can that machine ping anything outbound? [05:55] garv (google etc) [05:55] Yeah, that's the problem, I want to get it OFF of the desktop [05:55] I can't find it anywhere else though... [05:55] how do I unmount a network directory in ubuntu netbook remix? If someone tryed to answer me befor, i missed it [05:55] no [05:56] Hola [05:56] do i need to ifdown before i edit that config? [05:56] is there a program that will allow me to graphically monitor my local area network? I just want to be able to see who is connected to my network... [05:56] garv: I don't think so [05:56] Mushrooms: well if you have the proper drivers then you should be able to connect via it with a network manager (wicd is a good option) if you don't you will have to find out which ones you need and install them [05:56] alguien en español [05:56] garv, no. but you need to down then up again to make the iface reset [05:56] ???

[05:56] gracias [05:57] soy nuevo en los IRC [05:57] evon, netstat [05:57] !es | Tanathos [05:57] Tanathos: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [05:57] lstarnes, the reason i'm asking is that i have 2 machines, in one of them the gateway changed suddenly to 0.0.0.0. in the other machine for some reason i cannot see anything in "network connection" (althpough i am connected to the internet) [05:57] so i want to check [05:57] DigitalKiwi: how do i check if i got the drivers? and that computer can not go on the internet at the moment.. any chance i can get it installed without a internet connection (via cd) [05:57] Tanathos: a, lo siento [05:57] Por q??? [05:58] When I minimize a window, why do I see a bunch of black rectangles? (some kind of animation) How do I turn that off? [05:58] k1en: what machine are you using as the gateway? [05:58] DigitalKiwi: i don't think it can connect at all, when i click on network manager it doesn't show a wireless connection [05:58] DigitalKiwi: only wired [05:58] Tanathos: lstarnes y yo dice !es. solo lstarnes necesita. [05:58] Tanathos: uhh...yo no hablo mucho español. /join #ubuntu-es para español [05:58] does it have an ethernet port? [05:58] * maco gives up [05:58] lstarnes, these two machines are on 2 separtae networks, they are not connected, but both have started to be slugish lately [05:58] bien [05:59] lstarnes, so i figure its the same reason (gateway becoming 0.0.0.0) [05:59] its like my router isnt seeing this computer [05:59] if so you can use that to install the drivers (as it sounds like you don't have them) or you could download them on another pc and transfer via usb, the install cd might have them, i dunno [05:59] im gonna reboot the router... brb [06:00] garv, ok lets try manual config. [06:00] xmnt: thanks but that shows me a whole bunch of other things I don't understatn. I just want to see who is connected to my wireless connection at home. [06:00] okay.. want me to reboot the router first? [06:00] garv, visit here: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/ubuntu-networking-configuration-using-command-line.html [06:00] k1en: iy may be something else [06:00] *it [06:00] k1en: do they use DHCP for configuration? [06:00] garv, no. If your mac? is working so should your other boxes. [06:00] DigitalKiwi: is there a way to issue a command to my ubuntu and ask for it to scan for new hardware? [06:00] i run dd-wrt on my router you think that would make a difference? [06:01] lstarnes, yes [06:01] evon, use your wireless router - usually it will be at the address 192.168.1.1, 192.168.0.1, 192.168.2.1 [06:01] yeah thats what i figured [06:01] xmnt: i understand what you mean [06:01] k1en: then they should find the gateways automatically when they attempt dhcp setup [06:01] Mushrooms: i don't know [06:01] How do I install acrobat reader and corresponding Mozilla plugin? [06:02] garv, visit that site and follow the "Configuring Static IP address for your network card" section [06:02] I want to see PDFs in my browser. Can I do that in Linux? [06:02] DigitalKiwi: oh lol :( [06:02] yeah reading it now [06:02] i dont need to setup dns? [06:02] Mushrooms: someone else might know...I'm not that familiar with ubuntu or gnome [06:02] or dpkg for that matter [06:02] lstarnes, you know that icon for networking, when i click edit configuration - there is nothing there. what do you call that ? i want to google the problem , but not sure aboput the key words [06:02] k1en: nm-applet [06:03] k1en: it's part of NetworkManager [06:03] lstarnes, great thanks [06:03] what is a good program for downlaod and management of podcasts? [06:03] is there an FTP service that allows you to create accounts that aren't "system accounts?" [06:03] DigitalKiwi: lol.. ok [06:03] k1en: I usually try to avoid using it [06:03] perhaps accounts stored in a conf file or XML? [06:03] !ftp [06:03] FTP clients: Nautilus (Places -> Connect to server), gFTP, FileZilla (for !GNOME); Konqueror, Kasablanca, KFTPGrabber (for !KDE); FireFTP (for Firefox); ftp, lftp (for !cli) - See also !FTPd [06:03] garv, no [06:03] Can someone please help me with my wireless network card installation i have a Netgear WG311 Wireless PCI Card 802.11G (54Mbps) plugged in [06:03] Mushrooms: whtas the issue [06:03] hanasaki: gtkpod i believe can manage them, not sure what to use to download them, never used those [06:04] DigitalKiwi: what do you download with? [06:04] maybe amarok [06:04] hanasaki: i bought a new Netgear WG311 Wireless PCI Card 802.11G (54Mbps) today, because i dropped by the other day asking for advice on which one to buy [06:04] i don't download podcasts [06:04] garv, You DNS (Domain Name Server) is allocated to your net interface by the DHCP [06:04] if you're on KDE use amarok if gnome exaile... [06:04] where can i increase or decrease the size of the icons on the desktop? [06:04] hanasaki: i was told that i should check a compatibility with a ubuntu website, and then pick one that works from that list if i wanted it to plug and play [06:04] lstarnes, so what do you use ? [06:04] gOLDfeesh, ftp is insecure and not at all a good way of sending or accepting files - sftp or a version control system is what you should be looking at [06:05] icon size [06:05] hanasaki: gpodder isn't bad [06:05] k1en: I usually just let dhcp's dhclient handle it [06:05] garv, sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [06:05] gOLDfeesh: gnome.. thanks [06:05] garv, Might be helpful [06:05] xmnt, well.. I'm just looking for a services to stream movies to my wii really. [06:05] gpodder is great [06:05] garv, try sudo service networking restart [06:05] hanasaki: so now i bought it, plugged it in, and... lol it doesn't seem to be registering with my ubuntu... so i dropped by to get some advice [06:05] or what OzFalcon said [06:06] just tried it [06:06] waiting for dhcp discover to end [06:06] fingers crossed [06:06] gOLDfeesh, vlc has excellent streaming - however I'm not to sure if wii will work w/ that [06:06] hanasaki: it said very clearly on the box to put the installation CD in before installing the hardware. but i am guessing that's for windows, not linux [06:07] xmnt, I was never able to get the streaming to work on VLC [06:07] Mushrooms: lspci -vvv and look for it [06:07] same outcome after restarting the server [06:07] going to manually config [06:07] hanasaki: so now it's like... help... TT^TT please? [06:07] hi [06:07] garv, ok check your dns server is same as on your mac and type that in. [06:07] hanasaki: ok, hang on i need to run to the other computer since it's not connected to the net [06:08] Mushrooms: use the "man" command and check it out [06:08] man lspci [06:09] Hello any arbian [06:09] so, I've got this Icon on my desktop left over from a previously mounted .ISO and I can't get rid of it. [06:09] I've tried just about everything. [06:09] HELP! [06:10] I've even gone into nautilus and found "x-nautilus-desktop:///" but I can't delete it from here either. [06:10] cainram: is there an x-nautilus-desktop:/// entry in Places? [06:11] what should i put in for the "network" and "broadcast" items [06:11] legend2440: uh, yeah, there is [06:11] or just leave them blank? [06:11] I can't access it, though [06:11] garv, hold on [06:11] "the specified location is not supported" [06:11] cainram: oh ok nevermind you just said you cant delete it. [06:13] anyone know how to fix random freeze/slowdown on video player backs. i installed ff3.5 and browser became slow too === egaudet is now known as egaudet_zzz [06:14] is the record extension completely broken in xserver-xorg in jaunty? [06:14] garv, what was last question? [06:15] garv, Whats happening? [06:16] nothing at the moment [06:16] networking [06:16] and broadcasting [06:16] do i need values [06:16] for those items or just not enter them? [06:16] what is the cli command for deleting a file? I could try that because I know the path to the file [06:16] garv, ok [06:16] it's worth a shot [06:16] garv, yes [06:16] cainram: rm [06:17] rm /path - thats it?

[06:18] cainram: that won't work [06:18] cainram: you need an absolute filesystem path, not a url/uri like that [06:18] garv, and set networking to your local network. ie 192.168.1.0 [06:18] garv, just set broadcast to your local net eg. 192.168.1.255 [06:18] okay [06:18] that's the only place I've been able to find the 'file' [06:19] garv, one more thing [06:19] so is there any way I can set my resolution other than editing my xorg.conf file? [06:19] garv, the dns resolve. [06:19] hi guys [06:19] I could use some help [06:19] garv, edit /etc/resolve.conf [06:20] I am trying to get my tv tuner working [06:20] it is a wintv-hvr-850 [06:20] hdtv works but not analog [06:20] garv, and add entry "nameserver xx.xx.xx.xx" [06:20] D: hanasaki disappeared >.< [06:20] anyone know where I can get ppa packages for v4l-dvb? [06:21] man [06:21] garv, xx.xx.xx.xx being either your router or your ISP DNS server. [06:21] I'm prepared to create another Administrative user, delete my old one and then create another with the old username... that should do it, right? [06:21] !v4l-dvb [06:21] Sorry, I don't know anything about v4l-dvb [06:21] cainram: has restarting done anything? [06:21] I've restarted several times over the last hour. [06:22] I should also mention that trying to remount said ISO goofs up my compiz. [06:22] other isos mount and unmount without incident [06:23] Hello got a big problem.

[06:25] shrooms, what is the problem [06:25] #ubuntu-support maybe I can find someone there who can help me. [06:25] im not understanding the network and broadcast values.. im sorry [06:26] cainram: i bought a wireless network card today, based on the recommendation of other people here to check out compatible wireless network cards in a ubuntu website [06:26] can anybody help me movie player is muted [06:26] i need help [06:26] it mutes everything i try to watch [06:26] It says I'm banned from ubuntu-support :( [06:26] I need to print my documents so I can apply for a job. [06:26] cainram: i got one of those netgear WG311 ones [06:26] can someone help me with cups please? [06:26] network would be my routers ip? [06:26] owner: try a different username... [06:26] owner_: have you installed cups? [06:26] cainram: so now i plug it in, and boot up ubuntu... and i don't know what to do from here [06:26] and broadcast would be my ip? [06:26] yes [06:26] garv: the network ends in .0 [06:27] synaptic and apt-get say it's installed [06:27] okay [06:27] shrooms: is this a usb or pci device [06:27] ? [06:27] but it's not running [06:27] and broadcast? [06:27] cainram: i did a lspci -vvv and it shows it in that list [06:27] it can't be contacted at localhost:631 [06:27] owner_: this may be useful:" [06:27] !cups | owner_ [06:27] owner_: Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups.

[06:28] owner_: try sudo invoke-rc.d cupsys restart [06:28] ok [06:28] how do i install a webcam in ubuntu???can anyone point me to a documentation? [06:28] I suggest you look into it. If you can find the windows driver for your hardware then you can use it under linux with this utility [06:29] <[R]> subodh_: you just plug it in [06:29] it is a little confusing at first but if you stick with it you should have some luck [06:29] cainram: i just did a quick man for it... i can't find it..

[06:30] just installed it [06:30] I have gcc 4.3 installed. g++ wont install though complaining about gcc not being installed! [06:30] sudo apt-get install cupsys [06:30] it still spits out the same error [06:30] [R]: thanks [06:30] invoke-rc.d: unknown initscript, /etc/init.d/cupsys not found. [06:30] owner_, updatedb ... locate cupsys [06:31] owner_: what about cups? [06:31] owner_: the initscript may have changed between my version and yours [06:31] the dns thing doesnt work [06:31] I know it's installed but I'll run apt-get [06:31] Can I view PDfs in my browser? [06:31] Acrobat plugin for mozilla available on Ubuntu? [06:31] maybe i should just go back to windows ~.~ [06:31] garv, I was just out a sec. broadcast is just your local net work with 255 on the end. [06:31] cups is already the newest version. [06:31] shrooms: whats up? [06:31] /etc/init.d/cups [06:32] cainram: the other computer doesn't have an internet connection either.. so.. i am at a loss too i can get it off the repository on this computer, but i don't want to install it here, i want to install it there XD [06:32] shrooms: go back to your windows. people that use linux have an understanding of drivers and how hardware to software works. [06:32] okay i think i seriously messed something up [06:33] xeer: well that's nice, and you're not helping newbies either. no need to put them down for this [06:33] shrooms what are you trying to do? [06:33] is there anyway to go back to default? [06:33] or reset this somehow? [06:33] xeer: people come here to get help, not to get dissed by people like you [06:33] shrooms: i"m not sure what xeer means but I think he/she's being a little rude... I want to help you work this out, i've been in stickier situations. [06:34] does anybody here have the same problems i do [06:34] * Starting Common Unix Printing System: cupsd cupsd: Child exited with status 1! [06:34] wait [06:34] nobody helping me over at kubuntu, i installed kubuntu desktop then i had to reboot, when i reboot, kwin crashed [06:34] i did ficonfig [06:34] garv, ok where are you at? can you ping that manual ip you set from the mac? [06:34] with the movie player [06:34] FAIL! [06:34] and under eth0 [06:34] i have [06:34] then when i rebooted kwin crashed and metacity took over and it rendered it impossible to do anything [06:34] I don't know why it's failing to start. [06:34] garv, and you CAN ping it? [06:34] i don't know if i missed something after sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [06:34] does anyone know why cups would fail to start? [06:34] also for some reason i can't enable desktop effects [06:35] no [06:35] but [06:35] i didnt do the dns thing [06:35] I'm using a proxy but would that have to do with localhost:631 ? or my virtual box networking device? [06:35] shrooms: so let me get this straight, you can't get a connection on the computer that you are installing the wireless NIC into? [06:35] where do i start with that [06:35] I am trying to install components for winetricks, but it says packages do not exist. What am I doing wrong? [06:35] install compiz from repocitorios [06:35] aleron6 what is the problem with the movie player? [06:35] or with winetricks rather [06:35] its muted [06:35] garv, you should be able to ping it without the DNS operational. We NEED to be sure ip4 is working 1st [06:36] :( [06:36] cainram: yes that's correct i used to have a phone socket right next to this computer, but it broke, so the router has been moved to the other side of the house, and ethernet cable will not reach [06:36] #Cups [06:36] garv, you know how to ping from your mac? [06:36] shrooms, move the computer [06:36] yes === Sam0t is now known as Samot [06:36] it said no route to host [06:36] hmmm [06:36] host is down [06:37] xmnt: i was hoping you wouldn't say that [06:37] zebaztian: install compiz from repocitorios [06:37] shrooms: ok, you have two options, hear me out [06:37] cainram: i'm all ears [06:37] aleron have you tried turning up the volume on the program? if that doesn't work have you tried turning up the volume (or unmuting it on the mixer) [06:37] shrooms, i hate doing it too ... i have a computer and the wireless card never works on a fresh install ... it's a pain - but it's the fastest way [06:37] garv, ok. are these machines all connected via a common hub? [06:38] shrooms: the first is obvious... physically move the computer to a place where you can get a wired connection. [06:38] they goto a hub, then to a router [06:38] cainram: yep [06:38] i see a mistake a made [06:38] give me a min [06:38] shrooms: the other involves aptoncd, ever heard of it? [06:38] cainram: getting it off a CD [06:38] garv, any errors on the "NETWORK" entry or "ADDRESS" entry may cause that. [06:39] Well I posted in the cups room. Don't know if they will get back to me. [06:39] whats the difference between the "vi" and "nano" cmd? [06:39] #kubuntu [06:40] garv, what does ifconfig on your mac say? ie what is the ip4 address? [06:40] garv: they're different programs [06:40] garv, nano is easier. [06:40] shrooms: yeah, install NDISWrapper on another ubuntu computer and then use aptoncd (also in the repository) to backup all of the computer's packages. You then burn a cd and put it in the non-connected computer and use synaptec to intsall ndiswrapper [06:40] I've done exactly this procedure for exactly this reason [06:40] and it worked like a charm [06:40] ifconfig [06:40] lo0: flags=8049 mtu 16384 [06:40] inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1 [06:40] inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 [06:40] inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128 [06:40] inet6 fd65:edae:352e:907:217:f2ff:fe99:1982 prefixlen 128 [06:40] gif0: flags=8010 mtu 1280 [06:41] stf0: flags=0<> mtu 1280 [06:41] Ahhh [06:41] en1: flags=8863 mtu 1500 [06:41] no [06:41] can gparted resize ext3 / ext4 partitions?

Once you've done that you can use synaptec to install packages from said cd. Just look in the bottom left corner and click the [06:44] "origin" button [06:44] the CD will appear there [06:44] mattwj2002: lol i should go get one made yea XD [06:44] :D [06:44] owner_: May want to post your question here again, maybe someone who came in recently will know :-) [06:44] cainram: yes i know how to add a CD as a repository so that part should be ok [06:44] owner_: have you tried channel ##cups [06:44] yes [06:45] no one has responded yet. [06:45] cool, you shouldn't have any problems [06:45] for some reason i can't use desktop effects [06:45] Ok I'll restate my problem. [06:45] cainram yea :D thanks again for your help!

I need to print stuff to apply for a job. My CUPS is busted. It won't start. I reinstalled it and did everything. cupsys is installed. Synaptic and apt-get say it's there but when I try to install hplip-3.9.8 it tells me CUPS is not installed. Also localhost:631 gives me nothing. CUPS is dead. When I try to start it I get a exit status 1 fail. [06:45] Shrooms: good luck! [06:45] sudo invoke-rc.d cupsys restart ... invoke-rc.d: unknown initscript, /etc/init.d/cupsys not found. [06:45] cainram: sweet thanks again! [06:45] no prob [06:45] peace out [06:46] zebaztian: Pardon me, but we might need a bit more information. Are you using Compiz? [06:46] Celroc, how do i check? [06:46] Pardon me, all, but does it seem like CUPS isn't installed for some reason on owner_'s computer? [06:47] lol :) [06:47] man I wish I was good with cups [06:47] hmm [06:47] I have a HP printer those are easy [06:47] :) [06:47] zebaztian: Umm.... not sure. I'm not real good with Linux myself, yet.... sorry. Anyone know how to check? [06:48] Mine is an HP Deskjet F4280 All in one [06:48] mattwj2002: the trick is putting them to your lip before you tilt it [06:48] you have hp? [06:48] :D [06:48] the hplip-3.9.8.run package tried to install cups [06:48] and other packages [06:48] I think I made the mistake of running it as root once [06:48] zebaztian: Although, if you didn't install it, you probably don't have it... I don't think it's a default package [06:48] and I'm not sure where it stuck all it's stuff [06:48] it told me running it as root would be a bad idea [06:49] so I didn't [06:49] do you have hp-setup ? [06:49] but I can't help but think it stuck something somewhere as root [06:49] hp-setup? [06:49] yeah [06:49] never heard of it but I'll install it [06:49] how can i check if i have compiz? [06:49] yeah [06:49] open up a console [06:50] and type in compiz =D [06:50] owner_: there is no /etc/init.d/cupsys file its /etc/init.d/cups i think did you browse to /etc/init.d to check for the file? [06:50] and see if you have a program called hp-setup [06:51] I ran that tool [06:51] too [06:51] and it didn't work? [06:51] it gave me this: Usage: /etc/init.d/cups {start|stop|restart|force-reload|status} [06:51] So then I typed ./cups restart [06:51] and it went nuts [06:52] so I typed ./cups start [06:52] xeer: you still there?

Now i have this icon that is called XYZ.iso.volume [07:04] shroom: COOL, much easier! [07:05] shroom, sometimes aptoncd is a godsend, sometimes it is a nightmare... Much like Linux! [07:05] cainram: browse to /home/yourusername/.nautilus/metafiles is there an xml file there called x-nautilus-desktop:%2F%2F%2F.xml or something similar? if so open it and see if that iso icon is listed in there [07:05] cainram: now just gotta get the ndsiwrapper thing, i googled for a solution it directed me to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/Netgear_WG311_v3 i guess that's pretty close [07:05] I don't need ssl certificates lstarnes it's just not working.

[09:10] Question: Whenever I connect online without a browser, I notice that my firewall is constantly being pinged by proxybots. I am wondering, since I am on a dynamic connection if there is a file in Ubuntu which gives away IP location, or if this is some sort of exploit? [09:10] AlHafoudh: http://ceitl.zanestate.edu/blog/archives/2005/04/how-to-mount-novell-shares-in-ubuntu/ [09:10] tnoy: it exists, i try to chroot /mnt and exists, i am running from live CD, try to repair grub [09:11] i ran totem player in terminal and msg"/var/lib/python-support/python2.6/gdata/tlslite/utils/cryptomath.py:9: DeprecationWarning: the sha module is deprecated; use the hashlib module instead [09:11] import sha [09:11] " what does it mean? [09:12] MrSchmo: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gst-plugins-bad0.10/+bug/420071 [09:12] ActionParsnip1: i mean physical disks, not network shares [09:13] AlHafoudh: i found that via websearching, let me have another go [09:13] qwqwqqwqw, That is odd, maybe you really dont have bash in there? Have you tried /bin/sh? [09:13] ActionParsnip1: i googled 15 hours yesterday :( i need someone who just had that experience [09:13] tnoy: how do i try /bin/sh [09:14] AlHafoudh: could try a different search engine [09:14] qwqwqqwqw, chroot /mnt /bin/sh [09:14] !info ncpfs [09:14] ncpfs (source: ncpfs): utilities to use resources from NetWare servers.

[09:15] AlHafoudh: http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/1354 I wouldnt know, readthe guide. It may clarify [09:15] info! lib32asound2-plugins [09:16] anyone managed to get opendx working properly on intrepid (am64)? [09:16] ActionParsnip1: yeah, its over network [09:16] !info lib32asound2-plugins [09:16] Package lib32asound2-plugins does not exist in jaunty [09:16] qwqwqqwqw, /mnt/bin/bash or /mnt/bin/sh has to exist. [09:16] why won't opera display email? [09:16] AlHafoudh: oh so you mean the local disks in a system? [09:16] younder: bad config [09:16] tnoy: they do [09:16] find asound2 [09:17] !find asound2 [09:17] Found: lib64asound2, lib64asound2-dev, libasound2, libasound2-dev, libasound2-doc (and 4 others) [09:17] ActionParsnip1: yees :) [09:17] ActionParsnip1: obviously, but it is a ubuntu version [09:17] younder: its the same app, just coded for linux [09:17] ActionParsnip1: evolution manages [09:17] tnoy: i am doing this: http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide commands on the bottom [09:18] AlHafoudh: what file system does it use? [09:18] tnoy: but cant do step 4 because of that [09:18] ActionParsnip1: I know, I used to be a developer at Opera [09:18] younder: cool [09:18] ActionParsnip1: keyword: NSS, Netware 386 [09:19] ActionParsnip1: Probably why I have some qualms asking support === hogan is now known as hogan_9 [09:19] AlHafoudh: i think if you install the network servers but target local disks it may just be silly enough to work [09:19] ActionParsnip1: how do you mean [09:21] AlHafoudh: well the guide is talking about network shares over a network. rather than target remote shares, point the mount commands (or fstab) to the local partitions. It may just work [09:21] younder: what provider do you use? [09:21] younder: for email [09:21] qwqwqqwqw, I find it odd that its not working for you. Other things that can give you hassles is there are permission errors, or you're using a Live CD that is 32bit when your system is 64bit (or vice versa)--but those would give different errors than you've posted [09:21] ActionParsnip1: standard POP3 [09:22] i have a usb device which is automatically detected and mounted (connected through usb hub in monitor), if i switch the monitor off the hub looses power, however, when i want to reconnect the usb device it is not detected. can i reset usb modules somehome? [09:22] younder: what is the name of the provider please. I may be able to find a guide [09:22] tnoy: maybe thats it, i am having 32bit cd and 64bit system [09:22] ActionParsnip1: telenor [09:23] *todate i have to restart the computer for the usb device to be recognised again ... :( which is not satisfactory [09:23] qwqwqqwqw, try to run /mnt/bin/bash directly [09:23] tnoy: bash: /mnt/ubuntu/bin/bash: cannot execute binary file [09:24] qwqwqqwqw, but yeah, you'll definately need the same Live CD as your system. It MIGHT work if your Live CD was 64-bit and your system is 32-bit... but I've never tried it. [09:24] qwqwqqwqw, yeah, thats your problem then. [09:24] tnoy: ook, will be back if something wont work, tnx [09:24] ActionParsnip1: pop.online.no [09:24] younder: pop3: pop.online.no smtp: smtp.online.no === mactimes_ is now known as mactimes [09:25] hands [09:25] ActionParsnip1: yes, it is set up so. It reads the email, but it never shows up in my email client [09:26] younder: i found this but its probably stuff you already know: http://www.freeemailtutorials.com/operaM2/setupEmailAccount.cwd [09:26] ActionParsnip1: thanks [09:27] hi, i created a ubuntu liveUsb but did not allocate enough space for the system (i decided to install eclipse, 600M), what manual should i refer to? [09:27] (or system configuratio GUI if any) [09:28] younder: if you have folks at opera support you stil lkeep in contact, you can give them a call. [09:30] ActionParsnip1: my thoughts exactly [09:30] its not what you know, its who you know :) [09:31] I have Xinerama with two monitors. How can I have a "static desktop" on one, and the normal desktop (multidesktop) on the other? Is this possible? [09:33] hi can i ask about problems on here? [09:33] allan8904: yes. [09:34] !ask | allan8904 [09:34] allan8904: 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. :-) [09:34] nobody? [09:34] I booted up my computer and everything was normal, then about after 2 minutes all the applications that i launched's text has been replaced by random "------ - - - -- - --- --" everwhere so i cant read the buttons or menus or anything. i tried deleting the .kde folder and it still does the same thing after reboot. Any ideas? [09:35] i guess i'll mount -o loop /cdrom/usr /usr then [09:35] jpic: you can boot to live cd to resize partitions if you have space [09:36] jpic: or plug in another usb storage and symlink the folder after copying the data across [09:36] i don't have a cd reader [09:36] actually symlinks won't work on vfat [09:36] * jpic just tested [09:36] for some reason evolution wont let me resize the side panel and its shrunk to where all the names of my folders just say ... do i need to reinstall evolution? [09:36] jpic: then you need some form of bootable system to resize the partitions [09:36] can't i allocate more space for the squashfs? either on the fly either by booting ro single? [09:37] hi there, how I can kill gdm? I run /etc/init.d/gdm stop, and i just keeps coming back? [09:37] GobiTheGoblin: are you using sudo? [09:37] i <- it [09:37] jpic: not sure, ive not played with those [09:37] prince_jammys: yep [09:37] that's annoying. [09:38] GobiTheGoblin, try init 3 [09:38] hatake_kakashi: will try, ty [09:38] ActionParsnip1: thanks for answering, i need to find a safe guide because that's the only os i have (dead hdd) [09:38] (and no cdrom reader) [09:38] Hello every one [09:38] GobiTheGoblin, can't guarantee it'll work but its worth the shot [09:38] Hey everyone [09:38] jpic: just make sure your data is archived and you can play away [09:39] I am new user on liunx os [09:39] ActionParsnip1: data is safe, but the OS itself is not [09:39] hatake_kakashi: it is :D [09:39] all i have is that usb key which i didn't set up with enough space for installs [09:39] GobiTheGoblin, it worked? ok [09:39] how i can oracle database on ubuntu [09:40] have a problem with mounting folder [09:40] manuscle you'll need to be a bit more descriptive. ;) [09:41] lol, i am currently writing my problem, but english is not my native language! ;-) [09:41] jpic: then you could borrow a friends PC to duplicate the USB device so you have a backup of that too :) [09:41] Morning all. I could use help with getting video driver for a new installation. [09:41] PLN: http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/linux/install/xe-on-kubuntu.html [09:42] any oracle developer here [09:42] PLN: oracle have an ubuntu repo [09:42] hughworm, did you check System > Preferences > Hardware Drivers first? [09:42] !oracle | PLN [09:42] PLN: If you -must- install oracle .... here's a good place to start: http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/linux/install/xe-on-kubuntu.html [09:42] i'm using debootstrap to install a system.. is it possible to get that to use an apt cacher? [09:43] so, i'va written in my fstab this line : /var/www /mnt/sdc/www none bind, /mnt/sdc/www is on a partition with 200Go fre space, but when i mount this, /mnt/sdc/www is limited to only 6Go! [09:43] ciao [09:43] manuscle: if you are simply mapping one folder to another you dont need fstab [09:43] hatake_kakashi: Havent tried yet, need to solve one more thing before I can try [09:44] GobiTheGoblin, ahh ok [09:44] manuscle: sudo ln -s /mnt/sdc/www /var/www [09:44] K7522 I guess you mean System > Admin > Hardware Drivers? List is empty. I have a S3 VT8375 [ProSavage8 KM266/KL266] [09:44] ActionParsnip1: But with symbolic link, i can't acces by FTP [09:45] manuscle: ah, weird [09:45] manuscle: system should just see it as a folder [09:45] manuscle, that is odd [09:45] manuscle, try mounting it using bind option [09:45] i did : /var/www /mnt/sdc/www none bind [09:46] hatake_kakashi: see above ;) [09:46] reverse it, /mnt/sdc/www /var/www [09:46] ActionParsnip1, yeah kinda double-checked it again lol [09:46] Want Virtual box on ubuntu [09:46] ? [09:46] RaaG: sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose [09:47] Sun ? [09:47] RaaG: yes [09:47] !virtualbox | RaaG [09:47] RaaG: virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer.

A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox [09:47] ok brother [09:48] (waits for thanks....)

Googling didn't help much! [09:50] tnoy: sometime i can help too but it's so rare ...

What is the error you're getting? [10:05] does it mean anything to yo .. I suspect is the iptable. [10:05] tnoy, ERROR: The requested URL could not be retrieved [10:05] ActionParsnip1, hatake_kakashi http://pastebin.org/18025 [10:05] Ytxx: thats your firewall dropping conenction [10:06] any ideas: http://ikelk.lt/pastes/ew5-_W!nuk [10:06] konza, If you get something like that, the telnet command is working, you need to pass a valid command to the server once you connect [10:06] tnoy, Its connection but I am not getting the http headers [10:06] GET / HTTP/1.1 [10:06] achilles, you've made it incorrectly, its supposed to be /dev/sda not /dev/sda3 [10:06] ActionParsnip1: is it related to the iptable ? [10:07] tnoy, telnet is working, but ^ [10:07] Hi, I get this error on evert dpkg operation "dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/ (--unpack)" [10:07] hatake_kakashi, why ? the new disk is sda3 [10:07] Ytxx: doubt it, sounds like you are hitting the server, just getting denied access [10:07] achilles, are there any other scsi/sata/usb storage devices plugged in on the same computer? [10:07] hatake_kakashi, I'm afraid to format the currently installed one [10:08] hatake_kakashi, yes there is [10:08] tnoy, i can get the headers if i use localhost.... [10:08] achilles, the reason is this:　Disk /dev/sda3: 5033 MB, 5033871360 bytes [10:08] hey guys..how do we remove all non hidden files? [10:08] tnoy, I am using a proxy server, will that affect it? [10:08] note the size of it [10:08] hatake_kakashi, http://pastebin.org/18026 [10:09] The proxy server might have something to do with it if it expects different commands [10:09] hatake_kakashi, oh maybe its the swap! [10:09] ActionParsnip1: http://gist.github.com/187195 [10:09] hatake_kakashi, yes it's the swap sorry! [10:09] achilles, would've been better if you did fdisk -l instead === K7522 is now known as K7522|AFK === K7522|AFK is now known as K7522 [10:10] hatake_kakashi, http://pastebin.org/18028 [10:10] Ytxx: you can use the cursor to read up and down with less [10:10] and I get "unable to open files list file for package `libtext-wrapi18n-perl': Input/output error" [10:11] . [10:11] can't find anything on google === K7522 is now known as K7522|AFK [10:11] ActionParsnip1: well I just need to fix this ... do you think its possible to diagnose the iptable ? [10:11] achilles, that's the wrong disk, note the size of the disk, 160GB not 1TB and so you've created a virtual partition or whatever it is inside /dev/sda3 which is swap [10:12] hatake_kakashi, how can I know what dev name the new disk took ? [10:12] anyone knows what is osql? [10:12] achilles, like I said before `fdisk -l' [10:12] Ytxx: if you ssh over as your user that works. Try: ssh testuser@localhost [10:12] hatake_kakashi, yes I got it /dev/sdb [10:12] Ytxx: see if that is good [10:12] thank you! [10:12] achilles, nw [10:12] does anyone here know of a supported AM radio tuner? [10:13] (pci or usb) === loki_ is now known as loki_666 [10:13] is there a portage-type package manager that can be used on ubuntu? [10:13] apt-get [10:14] ScreaminIke, I dont know if its supported or not, but Hauppauge devices have been rather linux-friendly in the past [10:14] apt-get can build from source, too, if you like [10:14] ActionParsnip1: [10:15] its asking http://gist.github.com/187195 should I say yes ? [10:15] apt-get is the package manager. it's like portage, but, by default, it grabs debian binaries [10:15] is there a free linux equivelant to macromedia captivate? [10:15] Ytxx: yes [10:16] yeah but the dependiecies are all downloaded as binary, i'm talking about full source compilation [10:16] allan8904: /why/? [10:16] ScreaminIke: AM radio support? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=843012&highlight=radio [10:16] allan8904, you can put in params to build from source [10:17] ActionParsnip1: after the third attmt i get this [10:17] Permission denied (publickey,password,keyboard-interactive). [10:17] jrib: just so its optimised. I know 5% doesnt sound like much, however when you're running it on a 1.73ghz lapy with an intel915gma card it makes a small difference [10:17] ScreaminIke: There is a point there about checking and or unchecking Analog/Digital. [10:17] is ubuntu the best?? [10:18] !best [10:18] Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [10:18] is it? [10:18] allan8904: just your machine... Anyway there's apt-build but imo it's a complete waste of time [10:18] I like it. [10:18] it's the best distro of the ones that's named after south african words. [10:18] okay [10:18] what bout ubuntu ultimate is that ok? [10:18] pythagoras: nah gentoos the best distro [10:18] ActionParsnip1: should I add "AllowUsers testuser" to ssh_config ? [10:18] Ytxx: then the account is most likely bad, I'd check group membership [10:18] gentoos? [10:18] Ytxx: makes sense [10:19] *gentoo [10:19] !ultimate | pythagoras [10:19] pythagoras: The following are some examples of Ubuntu derived distributions that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes; please consult their websites for more information: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mintsupport), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), Ultimate Edition [10:19] pythagoras: try both and use what is best for you [10:19] allan8904: there is no best [10:19] allan8904: best is an opinion so is not concrete [10:19] ActionParsnip1: what do you make sense ? [10:19] gentoo is great until and emerge world f's up your system [10:19] Thank you ActionParsnip1. [10:19] I've got these three separate blocks of unallocated space, can't i somehow merge them in to 'free' space?

[10:20] ActionParsnip1:True but gentoo is bleeding edge, optimised too the teeth however it just takes alot of hand configuring and time to install things...something i dont have time for at the moment [10:20] Ytxx: to add the new user to the allowed users in sshd_config or whatever you said [10:20] allan8904: doesnt make it better [10:20] so what are u using allan? [10:20] any one know of a good ip blocker? [10:20] allan8904: i personally think puppy is the best, but thats my opinion [10:20] ActionParsnip1: what makes puppy better then ubuntu? [10:20] allan8904: there is no universal best anything [10:21] ActionParsnip1: i only installed puppy on a powerpc machine because i really had no other option [10:21] hmm everyone wreckon ubantu the distro around.. [10:21] allan8904: its light and suits my personal needs perfectly, it also runs on ,y ancient systems [10:21] s/y/my [10:21] allan8904: so to me it is the best, millions would agree, millions would disagree [10:21] ActionParsnip1: what GUI do you use? [10:21] what app can i use to check hash sums of an ubuntu iso? [10:21] can anyone help me with that ^^ [10:21] word on the street has it ubantu the go... [10:21] !md5sum | zebaztian [10:21] zebaztian: To verify the integrity of a download, use the md5sum - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM for more [10:22] I've got these three separate blocks of unallocated space, can't i somehow merge them in to 'free' space? [10:22] ^^ [10:22] allan8904: openbox [10:22] allan8904: my more powerful systems run lxde [10:22] ActionParsnip1: can i ask why? [10:22] hi [10:22] allan8904: lightness [10:22] can i download with apt whilst ¡'m downloaading something through wget -c? [10:22] ActionParsnip: whats wrong with something like KDE [10:22] kitallis: partitions ? use gparted... [10:22] zebaztian: sure you can [10:22] anyone here run windows [10:22] zebaztian: yes [10:22] allan8904: fat slow, and kde is really flaky [10:23] kitallis: Back it up and run a disk utility, gparted is good. [10:23] is camstudio the best piece of software for desktop videos? [10:23] ActionParsnip1, are you on gui? [10:23] pythagoras: in ##windows [10:23] kde is flaky? [10:23] ActionParsnip1: see i think KDE is nice, shiney and full of features [10:23] zebaztian: indeed [10:23] pffft [10:23] optimize + kde == funny combination. [10:23] allan8904: i dont like shiny. i want the job done [10:23] i like the sphere in ubantu [10:23] ActionParsnip1, which DE? [10:23] ActionParsnip1: whats teh point of doing it on an eyesore though? [10:23] ActionParsnip1: I have managed to login . [10:23] kaddy: is in my experience [10:23] allan8904: its not, looks fine here [10:23] zebaztian: lxde [10:23] Ytxx: wtg :D [10:24] the sphere desktop is cool [10:24] ActionParsnip1, is that ubuntu? [10:24] erUSUL, can't those are 3 seperate blocks, if i make a primary partition outta any one of them, then the other too would be left unallocated cause of the <4 limit [10:24] But there's something different from the root user . . [10:24] ActionParsnip1: The thing is that the second you run any kde app all teh libs are loaded in teh background [10:24] Ubuntu is good, but its for Noobs [10:24] zebaztian: no, lxde is a de. you can run it on ubuntu if you wish: http://wiki.lxde.org/en/images/4/4c/LXDE_desktop_full.png [10:24] !lxde | zebaztian [10:24] Sorry, I don't know anything about lxde [10:24] ActionParsnip1: so you may as well use the GUI too [10:24] !info lxde [10:24] lxde (source: lxde-common): Meta-package for the Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.3.2.1+svn20080509-5 (jaunty), package size 2 kB, installed size 40 kB [10:24] lxde is da bomb! [10:24] kaddy, try to stay on topic [10:24] ActionParsnip1, can i run lxde on hardy? [10:24] kitallis: can you move/copy some paritions to make room ? [10:25] zebaztian: sure can [10:25] LXDE is quite nice [10:25] i am staying on topic [10:25] ActionParsnip1, is it getable from the repos? [10:25] full desktop in ~60MB [10:25] zebaztian: sudo apt-get install lxde [10:25] ActionParsnip1: is there a way of listing the users ? [10:25] as opposed to the default 200+MB gnome ubuntu desktop [10:25] Don't you ubuntu guys get sick of the same old dead inovation Gnome desktop though? seriously? [10:25] erUSUL, i did, i had 2 before, now I have 3 :/ [10:25] ActionParsnip1: But you dont get like 95% of the features [10:25] ActionParsnip1, is it lighter than xfce? [10:25] and gnome 3/shell is utter crap [10:25] !ot | kaddy [10:25] kaddy: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [10:25] Ytxx: type: users at command line [10:26] allan8904: what features? [10:26] only noob niggas use ubuntu or gnome [10:26] lol [10:26] allan8904: i can install any app from any DE and use it in a light environment [10:26] ActionParsnip1: can you have desktop compozing on it? [10:26] ActionParsnip1, can i compiz eyecandy on lxde? [10:26] haha [10:26] ActionParsnip1, can ubotu fix kaddy? [10:27] allan8904: sure, you can use lxde + compiz if you really want [10:27] allan8904: like I said. i dont like ll that stuff [10:27] ActionParsnip: the new user 'tesuser' doesnt apear on the list only root and admin [10:27] ActionParsnip1: what specs are your comp? [10:27] allan8904: which one? [10:27] ActionParsnip: the "good one" [10:27] what would you know parsnip! afterall... your just a White Fake carrot! [10:28] oooohhhh burn lols [10:28] allan8904: fileserver = gentoo + 64mb edo ram + p100 mmx [10:28] ActionParsnip, is lxde lighter than xfce and as manipulable as kde? [10:28] allan8904: router = bsd + 500Mhz P3 + 256Mb SDRAM [10:28] erUSUL, the problem is that the unallocated space is on different sectors of the disk, so there isn't just one block i can partition into [10:28] allan8904: desktop = AM2 Semp 3000 1.6Ghz + 2Gb DDR2 + 250Gb SATA2 [10:29] ActionParsnip: ah no wonder you use that then [10:29] allan8904: i like it. i can run full kde + compz rubbish on my desktop. i choose not to [10:29] ActionParsnip: do you know why the new user is not listed ? [10:29] ActionParsnip: yeah but it would be slow on it [10:29] kitallis: so you are stuck. you ca not make new paritions nor move existing ones ? [10:29] i'm currently using 400MHz and 128MB ram. lololol [10:29] zebaztian: lxde has similar min requirements but actually uses less than xfce in reality [10:29] allan8904: it performs well [10:30] ActionParsnip: on my lappy is slightly sluggish, however on my desktop its sweet as [10:30] allan8904: i can play penumbra and urban terror very well [10:30] ActionParsnip, will my ATI radeon graphics 3200 work well with it? [10:30] allan8904: as wel as doom3 via wine [10:30] holaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa [10:30] hellooooo [10:30] later all [10:30] zebaztian: sure will :) [10:30] ActionParsnip: why not just use windows for gaming... [10:30] kitallis, you have to unmount a partition to edit it [10:30] ActionParsnip: i'm all for linux however i'd like the best tool for teh job [10:30] allan8904: you seem to be mixing "features" with "eye candy" [10:31] ActionParsnip, what's lxde based on? [10:31] allan8904: windows costs and linux is free, linux plays the games I like toplay so why should i waste my money [10:31] zebaztian: gtk [10:31] ScreaminIke, obviously :/ [10:31] ActionParsnip: i got windows for "free" from uni, we all were supplied with a copy and serial for windows xP, vista business and windows 7 [10:32] ActionParsnip, i had a horrible time with the ati driver, then i installed the newest one specific to this chipset and it has slowed down my laptop [10:32] ActionParsnip: so price wasnt a factor for me [10:32] erUSUL, well I can make only ONE partition from any one of those unallocated space [10:32] i have a wintendows install on my 'good' box. it's a hassle to take down my ssh/apache/gnump3d and have to reboot every time i want services i've come to depend upon [10:32] but i want to merge them and create a single one [10:32] guess i cant [10:32] allan8904: well i'm a bit older than uni, so i dont get given much. I do get free PC systems that folks dont want though [10:32] ActionParsnip, so no matter what libraries, gnome and kde apps should run faster considering its low resource consumption? [10:33] zebaztian: yes as the DE itself uses less to run [10:33] anyone have this program qt4 setting in menu: system>Preference and what does it do? [10:33] ActionParsnip: probs why you dont like the eyecandy :p [10:33] ActionParsnip: anyway nice discussing it with you [10:33] kitallis: if you can not copy/move other partitions so the space is continous in the disk you can not. [10:34] allan8904: no, even if a had a blade system with 200 CPUs and 2Tb RAM, I'd still use LXDE [10:34] MrSchmo: change the appearance settings of qt4 apps [10:35] ActionParsnip, is it buggy? [10:35] does it have releasesees parallel to ubuntu? [10:35] zebaztian: not at all [10:35] ActionParsnip: users dosnt list 'testuser' is this the expected behaviour ? [10:35] ActionParsnip, is it as versatile? as in can i set things the way i want them like on kde ? [10:36] i remember that was one feature i never liked about xfce much [10:36] i felt i couldnt bend it and shape it my way [10:36] zebaztian: not so much, the gui is quite constrained but you can set window decorators and background images and icons nice [10:37] Ytxx: not sure man [10:38] ActionParsnip, what's its navigator? [10:38] zebaztian: navigator? [10:38] the...nto window manager [10:38] hmmm [10:38] like dolphin or nautilus [10:38] zebaztian: oh, file manager [10:38] nginx released a security fix yesterday, at version 0.6.39. ubuntu base 9.04 still lists 0.6.35 in apt [10:38] zebaztian: you can run either of those in LXDE [10:38] when will ubuntu get the security update? [10:39] ActionParsnip, what's the default though? [10:39] it looks very Windows-like on those screenshots [10:39] zebaztian: Thunar is default I think [10:40] alus: You may be better off asking in #ubuntu-motu [10:40] alus: Alternatively, create a ticket in !Launchpad [10:40] what is "motu"? [10:40] hello, i bought a new PC and installed Kubuntu Jaunty 9.04 i can hear sound but my mic isnt working [10:40] who can i make my mic work> [10:40] ?

[10:41] ActionParsnip, can i run ubuntu with lxde alone? as in no gnome, no kde [10:41] zebaztian: Sure. [10:41] thanks.. i'll do that and post back [10:42] MenZa, with all the same repos and apps though? [10:42] zebaztian: Certainly. The repositories are independent of whatever DE/WM you use. [10:42] zebaztian: sure if you want but you will not be able to use the apps that use those libs [10:42] zebaztian: So are the apps. Some will require gtk libraries to load, but they'll run. [10:43] i need alot of help from anyone who knows, my problem is this, i have a pc that had vista pre-installed from the store, i hated vista, so i installed ubuntu 9.4 to the machine, and completely removed the vista partition.. well, that was a while ago, but now i got a new machine for ubuntu wich im on now, and i want xp on my old vista machine, well, when i try to use my xp disk it loads all the setup files and when it gets to the part "st [10:43] arting windows" (on the very first blue screen where it loads drivers for setup) it goes to a blue screen and says a problem has been detected and my computer needs to be shut down.. aka its the blue screen of doom, i cant even get to setup... ok so, i completely removed my ubuntu partition using the live cd, then went back out and tried again, got the bsod again... i really need xp on the machine, and google didnt help at all, anyone h [10:43] ere know anything that could help? [10:43] lylith: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [10:43] lylith: Sounds like a problem with the XP cd, not Ubuntu. [10:43] lylith: ##windows for help with that [10:43] lylith: Alternatively your hardware setup. Try ##windows instead. [10:43] ActionParsnip, how do you mean i won't be able to use apps that use those libs? explain please [10:44] i thought so... but it cant be, the xp cd is the same i've always used x.x [10:44] ha i just saw this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lubuntu [10:44] zebaztian: Most applications use either Qt (KDE libraries) or GTK+ (GNOME libraries). If you simply launch your desktop with lxde, those libraries will still be available for the applications to use. If you remove the libraries, however, you may run into some issues. [10:45] is there any one to Help me in translating labels in galde ......????? [10:45] so it would be better to have both kde and gnome as a log option? won't that slow down the system in the long run though? [10:45] MenZa, ActionParsnip [10:45] can you see more about it detail? [10:46] brijith1:can you see more about it detail? [10:46] zebaztian: I suggest just leaving GNOME on it. If you need Qt libs for anything, they'll download. [10:46] is there any one to help me in translating labels in glade [10:46] anyone knows anything about mysql injection? pls reply [10:46] MenZa, so I can run any kde app, both on the gui and the shell, from lxde? [10:47] konza, cracking? [10:47] konza: /j #mysql [10:47] qianjigui: I have a python application which uses glade interface [10:47] zebaztian: if an app needs libs then it will need it installing so you may have to have them installed so you may need to have gnome installed [10:47] bazhang, nope........ i wanna learn hacking.. and not cracking.. [10:48] wrong channel for either. [10:48] konza, that is beyond the scope of this channel [10:48] ActionParsnip, what about kde? [10:48] qianjigui: what I want to do is to translate all the messages in the window [10:48] bazhang, is there any other channel for that? [10:48] to which language? [10:49] ActionParsnip, MenZa regardless though it will still perform better/faster than gnome or kde right? [10:49] konza, no idea /msg alis list *term_you_want* [10:50] zebaztian: if you want to run kde apps ten they will need some kde libs, so they will need to be installed. apt-get will manage this [10:50] konza- you may find people who will discuss that in #ubuntu-offtopic [10:50] the better irc tool for ubuntu is? [10:51] pidgin lol [10:51] irssi [10:51] !irc [10:51] A list of official Ubuntu IRC channels, as well as IRC clients for Ubuntu, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat - For a general list of !freenode channels, see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#channellist - See also !Guidelines [10:51] err, no. [10:51] bazhang, can u pls explain that command what u told? [10:51] thx [10:51] ActionParsnip, so what you're saying is that if i say want to use konqueror, sudo apt-get konqueror in a lxde only paradigm wiill take care of installing the qt libs on its own? [10:51] konza, let's discuss in #ubuntu-offtopic [10:51] Help mmeeee [10:52] zebaztian: yes, apt will take care of installing/informing you of required dependencies. [10:53] great, so pretty much install gnome and then lxde [10:53] great [10:53] using Gettext translation of labels in glade is not working please help me. [10:53] the package 'ubuntu-desktop' contains nothing other than a list of dependencies, which is why installing causes all the apps/dependencies to be installed. [10:54] zebaztian: konqueror will install qt libs as it needs [10:54] zebaztian: there is nothing stopping you running konqueror in lxde [10:54] so, leave gnome alone install lxde and get the kde apps you need pretty much? [10:54] ActionParsnip: lol looks like i gave you a bit of work explaining desktop managers and stuff [10:55] ActionParsnip, i cant believe you lied to me [10:55] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PCMan_File_Manager [10:56] my computer is accepting ssh connections over the local (home) network, but not ftp [10:56] allan8904: ? [10:56] I'm pretty new to setting up SSH or FTP, And i thought i'd installed enough stuff to be a backend for both of them, but apparantly not [10:57] what do I need on the desktop upstairs before it'll operate as an ftp server? [10:57] hi [10:58] Dougal: Is there any reason why you need FTP? sftp is a whole lot more secure and easy to use (imo) [10:59] hateball: sftp would be fine too [10:59] !info ssh | Dougal [10:59] Dougal: ssh (source: openssh): secure shell client and server (metapackage).

[11:00] Dougal: Yes [11:00] hah, it worked. [11:00] I feel kind of silly now... [11:00] Dougal: sftp and ftp/s are not the same :) [11:01] konza: this is, btw, the support channel [11:01] konza: not #ubuntu-offtopic [11:01] konza: you can either try from the command line, in a terminal, with passwd [11:02] konza: or in system - administration - users and groups [11:02] yes, i think i knew that. I just thought of sftp as the more advanced option and assumed it'd be *harder* to get working as a result. Anyways, thanks! [11:02] ActionParsnip, have you used ede?

[12:42] jakes: tar does use -C, maybe it needs to go before the file [12:43] Simplxio / Halitech - al;though Im very confident with a windows command line. [12:43] ukev: oh wait.. thats a kde app. :) i got both on this box. [12:43] not sure what happened, lol, tried to copy/paste the image http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/693961/Sep%2015%2C%202009_2/DSCF0443.JPG and then xchat lcosed, hehe. anuway, that is the system [12:43] hey how to install a wireless usb in ubuntu???can some one point me to a document? [12:43] Moz_, you could still install the server version and then install ebox to do the configuration [12:43] I downloaded Mythbuntu on my system and now want it off, how do I do that? [12:43] Halitech - ok thanks for the info. [12:43] !ebox | Moz_ [12:43] Moz_: ebox is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server. It is designed to work with Ubuntu/Debian style configuration management. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/eBox [12:43] Moz_: yeah. well basicly you do all conf into files. so you learn cli command and howto use nano quite fast, besides all howtos for server side are pretty much for cli [12:44] KoolD: if you have it attatched and run: sudo lshw -C network you can see what chip it uses and wesearch from that [12:44] simplexio / Halitech: Thanks for the quick advice. I'll give server editiona try and see how I get on. [12:44] Moz_: and like i said, if you run X + gnome (default ubuntu desktop) you use alot RAM for it [12:45] ActionParsnip:thanks, i'll check it out [12:45] well, i am glad this worked, lol, ubuntu for the win. now to find uot how to let the ubuntu 9 server edition to find the wireless connection and set a pass for it, etc, .. and auto connect, .. on ethernet it is not a problem, but doing wifi is a bit more tricky for me. [12:45] Moz_: just learn to love bash, extend commnds or give option out on cli, helps alot [12:45] KoolD: if nothing comes up, use lsusb you can then search for the 8 character hex code [12:45] Dr_Willis, hm... any other idea? is there no documentation about where startup-hooks can be? [12:46] ukev: never noticed - really never had the problem. Not got somthing in the Autostart directory? [12:46] ActionParsnip:thanks, i got a interface,just had to enable it [12:46] bluetooth isn't supposed to work in jaunty right? it can't receive files; when copying a file from obex it will freeze and then you can't unmount the device, etc [12:47] KoolD: nice :) [12:48] Dr_Willis, no, the autostart dir is empty... I also tried to search with the gconf-editor the term "firefox" but there was no entry which had to do something with startup or autostart [12:48] ukev: you can symlink the .desktop entried from /usr/share/applications in ~/.config/autostart [12:48] Anyone know how to get Mythbuntu completely off? [12:49] s/entried/entries [12:50] I am trying to use the 'net' table in iptables, it says "iptables v1.4.0 can't initialize iptables table 'net': table does not exist (do you need insmod?) Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded" [12:50] I'm using intrepid 8.10 [12:50] Skarpz: fire up the package manager and remove it.. but it installed a lot of dependencies. such as mysql and so forth. Getting all tose off ,may be a little hareder [12:51] xeer : Have you updated your Ubuntu system [12:51] Yes! [12:51] hey, whats up [12:51] Blizzerand: apt-get update? [12:51] 9.04 [12:51] s [12:51] ActionParsnip, in .config/autostart are a few .desktop files, but now firefox related one [12:51] does anyone know of any operating systems specificly made for window repair [12:51] windows XP [12:51] repair [12:51] that are linux based [12:52] s12en7s120: check out the 'system rescue livecd' and the gparted livecd [12:52] why does my firewall block traffic thru my vpn connection? (1723 + pptp ports are wide open) but the firewall seems to drop the traffic inside the vpn? when the firewall is off the vpn works. but as it connects the opened ports work but the firewall shaps the traffic inside, is it supposed to do that? [12:52] s12en7s120: and others at 'distrowatch' web site [12:52] ohh shoot, lol [12:52] Dr_Willis: What I want it to do is to stop stopping at startup to need to go into recovery mode to download packages. How can I do what you've said? I've tried just removing the desktop but it wasn't enough. Most everything is still there. [12:53] xeer : Yup or just use up System --> Administration --> Software Update or something of that sort . Beware , there may be about 300 MB updates if you are updating for the first time [12:53] would qtParted work as well from Knoppix or BT3? [12:53] re [12:53] Skarpz: could be gdm is auto logging in, and starting it up as the default session. Ive not used muthbuntu in ages. [12:53] thanks actionparsnip ill use pastebin.com from now on. [12:54] Skarpz: the 'mythbuntu-desktop' package you mean? thats just a meta-package that pulled in everything else it needed. It does nothing to remove that. [12:54] ah [12:54] Blizzerand: I have a server install so the upgrade is only 62mb [12:55] Helli, does anybody know of a solution to the slow usb transfer rate problem on ubuntu jaunty 9.04 amd64 ? [12:55] Dr_Willis: yeah instead of Ubuntu or Kubuntu it says Mythbuntu when loading [12:55] how would I tell my system to start vncserver (Xvnc) instead of X? [12:55] when booting [12:55] xeer : k , go ahead . that should solve the prob [12:56] upgrade your USB [12:56] what do you mean [12:57] Where are you? [12:57] shos: you mean "slowing down until it's just a trickle where I could copy the bytes by hand and still be faster"-problem? [12:58] Slart: yes that: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1150108&page=24 [12:58] are there no other possibilities for programs to autostart? [12:58] do you have the kernal update? [12:58] 好厉害 [12:58] shos: not really sure why but I have no problems using my usb hard drive.. but transferring a 4GB file to a usb stick just dies after 500MB or so [12:58] ukev: possibilities other than ...?

[12:59] kernel 2.6.28.15 [12:59] Slart: sometimes its ok but sometmimes its really slow like 1.5 mb sec [13:00] jrib, the .config/autostart/ directory, .bashrc, gnome settings -> session/startup settings.... My firefox is starting every login but in none of these lists [13:00] shos: I don't have any good solutions for it... I just avoid using usb sticks and large files =/ I'm guessing one of these days someone will look up while reading the kernel source code and say "Hey, what's that comma doing there" or something similar [13:00] or if thats not the one then usually kernel 2.6.28.14 will fix the problem [13:00] im talking to you shoes [13:00] ukev: does it happen to a new user? [13:00] jrib, no it does not [13:00] shos: oh.. 1.5 MB/s.. mine just goes down to well..1 byte/s or so [13:00] xeer : How did it go . Sorry but I had to reboot the PC. [13:01] ukev: grep -R firefox ~/.* [13:01] Blizzerand: almost done downloading packages === abys is now known as abys_ [13:01] Nicd-: if you want a 'hidden' vnc session thats not the current desktop. You can install/run some of the 'vncserver' servers such as tightvnc. [13:01] jrib, it happens only after I set gnome to save the session on logout but now I deactivated the feature but firefox and rhythmbox are still starting automatically [13:02] is Opera 10 working well on Ubuntu? I have it on Debian Sid and the menus don't work well. [13:02] tawan: it worked here - last i tried it. [13:02] hwy wasup all [13:02] hi [13:02] ukev: tried turning the feature on, turning off those programs, logging out, logging in, disabling the feature? [13:02] Dr_Willis: I want it to start the vncserver in place of the normal desktop. The computer is to be used via VNC only. [13:03] jrib, yes, I tried that [13:03] ukev: try the grep then [13:03] Nicd-: theres 2 ways to do vnc.. Share/show the current desktop OR have a hidden vnc session thats NOT visiable from the local machine. [13:03] hi, a quick question how come my user is able to remove this folder? [13:03] amnesia@amnesia-laptop:~/Desktop$ ls -lA | grep bla drwx------ 2 root root 4096 2009-09-15 13:55 bla amnesia@amnesia-laptop:~/Desktop$ rm -r bla rm: descend into write-protected directory `bla'? yes [13:03] Nicd-: if you want you could set up gnome to auto-login and start the gnome vnc feature. [13:03] rebooting === Chiliblue_ is now known as Chiliblue [13:04] Dr_Willis: I tried vino but it has problems when running headless [13:04] amnesia: it really deletes it if you answer yes? [13:04] yup [13:04] that's what I dont get.. [13:04] tawan : to make opera 10 work you have to do some tweak arounds . Try #opra [13:04] jrib, the grep need to much time because there are to much data in my home-dirt [13:04] Nicd-, vnc isn't a desktop environment so you can't use it as replacement for gnome/kde/etc [13:04] amnesia: and ls -ld ? [13:04] tawan : I meant #opera [13:04] Nicd-: sound like you want to use a 'normal' vncserver then. There are guides on making vnc auto spawn as needed when you connect via a vnc client also. [13:04] Hi! How do I direct an exe to an existing .so file.... I've tried with ldconfig with no success... [13:04] Hello i'm in the process of enabling wireless to work with my NX6125 laptop, All i've found so far is information about the broadcom 4318 driver, but from there i really havn't had much luck, could anyone possibly assist me? [13:04] ukev: really? In .*? I doubt it but start with ~/.g* then... [13:04] jrib: drwxr-xr-x 2 amnesia amnesia 4096 2009-09-15 14:02 . [13:04] Blizzerand, specific to Debian Sid? Ok will look ;) [13:04] /query chanserv info #opra [13:04] amnesia: there you go... [13:04] Nicd-: they can spawn via inetd I recall. With the right setup [13:05] jrib, yes really, because of .virtualbox .wine and a lot more.. :)... I will try it [13:05] ukev: good point [13:05] is ubantu really good?? [13:05] Nicd-, I`d probably use NX if I wanted to connect and run a desktop session as needed. [13:05] pythagoras: try it for yourself and see if it is really good for *you* [13:05] jrib: others can only execute aka view the contents right? [13:05] Halitech, Dr_Willis, isn't Xvnc supposed to work as an X server for the applications? shouldn't it be possible for it to replace X then? [13:05] amnesia: -ENOCONTEXT [13:06] what do you use jrib [13:06] pythagoras : Yep or you could try any other linux distributions too [13:06] Nicd-, is ssh -X forwarding not an option ? [13:06] pythagoras: nope.. but ubuntu is ok [13:06] Nicd-, no, it acts as a forwarder for a currently running x server [13:06] -enocontext? [13:06] pythagoras: I use ubuntu and arch... [13:06] what is similar to windows... [13:06] Nicd-: you are not understanding how vnc works. Since you are 'headless' you dont want to use Xvnc or X11vnc. You want a normal 'vncserver' [13:06] amnesia: content of what? [13:06] jrib: the folder (drwxr-xr-x 2 amnesia amnesia 4096 2009-09-15 14:02 .) [13:07] hi :) [13:07] amnesia: yeah, others can 'cd' into and list contents [13:07] Nicd-: you could ssh in, start 'vncserver' then connect via any vnc client.. its that easy. Once ya get vnc going. [13:07] Hello [13:07] duffydack: can I connect to an existing session with that? [13:07] pythagoras, it runs on x86 hardware [13:07] /tmp/bcm4318.tar-3.gz could not be opened, because the associated helper application does not exist. Change the association in your preferences. - I receive this error when trying to download the "bcm4318.tar.gz" file to open with Archive Manager from the ubuntuforums, why is that? [13:07] pythagoras : If you are so inclined to vista try vixta linux [13:07] http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/271354/ [13:07] Dr_Willis: can I connect to an existing, running session with that? [13:07] jrib: yup but how come a folder owned by root and has drwx------ can be removed by every single other user? [13:07] pythagoras: don't come to linux looking for windows, you will not be happy. Think of linux as something new, different and possibly better [13:08] jrib, ok .p* finished and prints a few entrys but nothing with autostart, only: (gconf:) apps/browser, url-handlers: http https about unknown; avant window navigator entrys; gnome-settings: gedit; apps/lifearea; end the rest are settings of epiphany (count: 5) [13:08] Nicd-: depends on how you launch. an existing running VNC SESSIOn.. yes... [13:08] amnesia: it can't [13:08] sure [13:08] Ulises : Hello there [13:08] Halitech: this says otherwise: http://www.realvnc.com/products/free/4.1/man/Xvnc.html [13:08] Nicd-: headless means you wont have an X session going. Just vnc sessions. [13:08] How do I know if I have GTK on my system? [13:08] i download ubantu ultimate is that good [13:08] amnesia: pastebin commands that show what you just said [13:08] Newbie: cd /tmp; sudo tar zxvf bcm4318.tar-3.gz [13:08] SharpRain: you do [13:08] Dr_Willis: ok, that's an error in my part then, I thought headless just meant running without a monitor [13:08] Okay, thanks [13:08] SharpRain: dpkg -l | grep -i gtk [13:08] pythagoras: no, get regular ubuntu from ubuntu.com [13:08] I can start up my ubuntu Hardy Heron [13:08] can't!!! [13:08] Hello Blizzerand [13:09] SharpRain: why do you need it? [13:09] !ask| Ulises [13:09] Ulises: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [13:09] pythagoras, no need for it; and its not supported here-->get the original www.ubuntu.com [13:09] ohh i though ultimate was better ..more features [13:09] Nicd-: and with no monitor you cant see a local X session... [13:09] Ulises: can you expand what is happening please [13:09] jrib: that's the point... [13:09] jrib: amnesia@amnesia-laptop:~/Desktop$ rm -r bla rm: descend into write-protected directory `bla'? yes amnesia@amnesia-laptop:~/Desktop$ ls -lA | grep bla amnesia@amnesia-laptop:~/Desktop$ [13:09] Emacs 22 says I will get a better experience if I use emacs-22-gtk one only if I have gtk on my system [13:09] Blizzerand, did you watch the ling i've sent at pastebin? [13:09] Nicd-: so theres no need to start up X or gdm. Peronally i found 'headless' caused to many problems. [13:09] I chose emacs-22 gtk === Nakeido is now known as TimothyA [13:09] Dr_Willis: basically I just want something like Microsoft's Remote Desktop: computer boots, logs in automatically, starts programs. I connect later and see that desktop with the programs running and can control them [13:10] amnesia: do you get the same result if you create the folder somewhere else? say in /opt or something [13:10] amnesia: that's not "any other user". That's amnesia. amnesia has write privileges to the parent directory, so amnesia can delete contents [13:10] Nicd-: you can set up vncserver to do that. [13:10] Ulises : What were uyou trying to do to begin with [13:10] jrib thx [13:10] Nicd-: and you couls start the proper vncserver from rc.local [13:10] amnesia: I'm starting to think it's something along the lines of "you own everything in your home folder, no matter what" [13:10] Nicd-: why not just use web interfaces to what you need. a full blown desktop is often unnecessary [13:10] Slart: it's not [13:11] This is a popular channel [13:11] jrib: oh? ahh.. nevermind. I just saw your last message.. I get it now [13:11] Wow...I haven't used irc since the early 1990's...This is a trip down memory lane! Greetings Ubuntu gurus! [13:12] how do you install a .run file? [13:12] KendrickSF: Be prepared to meet a huge amount of spammers, trolls, newbies, and other creatures, then. [13:12] Hi I just installed Emacs and I can't find it on my system.. [13:12] SharpRain: whereis emacs [13:12] I don't know [13:12] SharpRain: Have you tried typing "emacs" on the Terminal? [13:13] it's a command "whereis" [13:13] Ulises : K , I got disconnected but can you answer the question I posted [13:13] SharpRain: Or "whereis emacs", as zaggynl suggested. [13:13] Hmm, thanks, that works [13:13] how to print system timezone? [13:13] emacs isntalls by default in /usr/share/ i think [13:13] jakes: chmod +x the file then you can run it [13:14] grawity: Thanks...This channel is running way faster than the irc channels I visited at CalPoly15 years ago. [13:14] b0red: Try: echo $TZ [13:14] SharpRain: emacs also has a gui (x) and Non X versions. [13:15] Can anyone help me with setting up my Wireless connection on a "nx6125" (Broadcom 4318) laptop? I've tried following the steps on ubuntu forums but have ran into neumerous errors [13:15] [root@s15305831 ~]# cat /etc/localtime [13:15] TZif2UTCTZif2UTC [13:15] UTC0 [13:15] b0red: Try 'readlink /etc/localtime' or something.

[13:19] amnesia [13:19] neptune_: yup.. then it's something with firefox.. perhaps try running firefox from a terminal and see if you get any error messages [13:19] yeah? [13:20] be? ;) [13:20] nope [13:20] I'm trying to install Ubuntu on the unallocated space of my hard drive that has a primary partition with Windows 7 on it and some unallocated space...I've tried it twice with the default "choose between Ubuntu and your other OS," however the Windows 7 boot manager still runs and grub doesn't seem to superscede it. Suggestions? [13:21] Dr_Willis: apparently this tells me how to start the vncserver on boot: http://www.abdevelopment.ca/blog/start-vnc-server-ubuntu-boot -- but how do I stop the regular display from starting? [13:21] i am reinstalling it from synaptic [13:21] amnesia: jrib explained it.. if I understand it correctly the permissions on a folder doesn't mean the same as for a file (have a look here http://www.zzee.com/solutions/linux-permissions.shtml#zzee_link_9_1077830297 ) [13:21] does anyone have an idea [13:21] helo im having some problem with pigin it crashes when ever i want to type somthing to a person i read through some bugs at launchpad but didnt unserstand anything im using ubuntu jaunty and here is some extra information last night i was having some problems with my Xserver and rebooted in recovery and everything was fine but my firefox google search area on top does not work or respond to my enter key or the search button. [13:21] KendrickSF : Are you sure you installed it , if yes do you have the live CD [13:21] im reading through this https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pidgin/+bug/248679 [13:22] amnesia: basically.. the parent folder permissions decide if the folder can be deleted, renamed and so on.. the permissions you set on the folder itself mostly restricts what you can do with the files *inside* that folder [13:22] still nothing [13:22] ! [13:22] :( what should i do? [13:22] neptune_ :reinstalling won't help [13:22] ahh okay [13:23] hi [o_O] [13:23] so what's gonna help? [13:23] Nicd-, if you don't have a Screen, there is no point in having a VNC server [13:23] chris|: and why is that? [13:24] @Blizzerand: I do have the live cd. it created a partition in the free space, but the grub boot manager didn't run when I rebooted. The Windows 7 boot manager ran. [13:24] !usb [13:24] For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [13:24] >_< please read my question [13:24] !patient | aaron11 [13:24] Sorry, I don't know anything about patient [13:24] Nicd-, because the reason for having a VNC server is to have that X Screen remotely available [13:24] :p [13:25] ToXBoT lol [13:25] aaron11, I don't rem the keyword! [13:25] aaron11: I've read it.. I have no idea what is going on.. never had problems like that [13:25] neptune_ : Try deleting .mozilla folder in you home folder and reinstalling firefox . Also please install adobe flash ( http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ ) select the .deb [13:25] Blizzerand I have flash [13:26] anyone removed notify-osd and replaced it? can i just replace it w the older package? [13:26] Nicd-, if you don't what the screen, then VNC is probably not the right service for you. Maybe you should look into SSH instead [13:26] Oh well, I knew I was gonna have some trouble dual booting Windows 7 and Ubuntu. === trmanco is now known as Guest94855 [13:27] KendrickSF : k boot into the live CD and try this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows [13:27] oh «:_( [13:27] !grub [13:27] GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager.

I need to do /etc/init.d/gdm stop (which is GNOME apparently) to start vncserver [13:29] @Blizzerand: Oy vey...That looks very helpful! Thanks so much!

Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually.

I do &> logfile programname and actually everything goes into logfile BUT the only thing that I really care about is still printed to screen - how can this be?!? [13:58] zebastian: #!/bin/bash [13:58] zebastian: compiz --replace [13:58] ManDay: it's being output to stderr [13:59] zebastian: have those 2 lines in the file [13:59] LjL: But &> redirects both. [13:59] zebastian: save the file in /usr/bin as startcompiz [13:59] zebastian: then run: sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/startcompiz [13:59] ActionParsnip: Why not exec compiz --replace? [13:59] ManDay: perhaps your prog outputs directly to the terminal. [13:59] how do i set the timezone? [14:00] grawity: same thing.... [14:00] grawity: oh. i didn't know, always did both separately. [14:00] ActionParsnip: Without 'exec', you have a useless /bin/bash running in a corner. [14:00] zebastian: you may want to add a & on the end [14:00] prince_jammys, what is the technical difference? [14:00] (what does the program do differently) ? [14:00] ManDay: ie. (in a shell script): echo foo > /dev/tty [14:01] ah [14:01] ManDay: It might write to /dev/tty instead of stdout. [14:01] &> will not redirect that [14:01] how is this possible? sudo mkdir /usr/local/steam; sudo wget http://.../hldsupdatetool.bin; sudo chmod +x hldsupdatetool.bin; sudo ./hldsupdatetool.bin ... "no such file or dir"? [14:01] ok, but how do i log this stuff then? [14:01] ActionParsnip: And with 'exec', compiz replaces bash. [14:01] ManDay: well, first make certain that that is really the case. [14:02] prince_jammys, it most likely is the case - as you said [14:02] So how do I log what it sends to the tty directly? [14:02] painfully. [14:02] talin: you're missing a file or directory, not necessarily that one. See if you have those ia32* packages installed.... [14:02] ActionParsnip: add an a on the end of what? [14:02] i don't even know. perhaps with a tool like screen [14:02] prince_jammys, thats a good idea [14:02] ill try [14:03] or maybe 'script', which i've never used. [14:03] jrib: the problem is thati don't know that the ia32-equivalent packages are called on freebsd [14:03] prince_jammys, huh? [14:03] * jrib looks at channel name [14:03] ManDay: man script also to see if it's of use. [14:03] jrib: i've been reading troubleshooting stuff for linux [14:03] talin: freebsd has a channel on freenode iirc [14:03] zebastian: the line: compiz --replace & is correct. I missed the & [14:04] jrib: ? this is freebsd... but there is 0 documentation for freebsd and steam [14:04] talin: This channel is #ubuntu [14:04] talin: this is #ubuntu, try the freebsd channel [14:04] oops, wrong window [14:04] I have problem with the java plugin with firefox ... java is installed but firefox doesnt use it..how can I do it? [14:04] prince_jammys, if you could tell me how to make a terminal scrollable i could also go with that. my problem is that the program crashes and gives an error message which is too long to fit into the terminal - so i cant see its beginning [14:04] ActionParsnip: i opened leafpad with the gksudo, i pasted on one line #!/bin/bash and under in another line compiz --replace then i saved it as startcompiz in usr/bin and then i ran that command you gave me, will from now compiz load everytime i log into lxde? [14:04] jrib: heh, i'm trying to the same install on ubuntu ;) [14:05] ManDay: run it in screen is one way [14:05] zebastian: no, [14:05] zebastian: run: gksudo leafpad /usr/bin/startcompiz and change compiz --replace to compiz --replace & [14:05] what does it do then ActionParsnip [14:06] zebastian: its a script we need to call at startup [14:06] ManDay: What terminal are you using? gnome-terminal, xterm, Linux console, PuTTY? === jason is now known as Guest80129 [14:06] gnomer terminal Granis [14:06] sorry, grawity [14:06] zebastian: you then need to run: sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/startcompiz [14:06] ManDay: And doesn't it have scrollbars? [14:06] ermm no, maybe i disabled them [14:06] ill take a look in the prefs [14:07] I have installed crunch bang Linux in virtualbox but can not get full screen to work guest addtions do nothing! im using ubuntu 9.04 as host os === OkropNick^ is now known as OkropNick === johan is now known as Guest8721 [14:07] Guest80129: try #vbox [14:07] what is the ia32-libs package called now? [14:07] grawity, yep, there it is [14:07] ActionParsnip: done, how do i get compiz to load automatically every time i log onto lxde now? [14:07] zebastian: you can then run: sudo cp /usr/share/applications/leafpad.desktop /usr/share/applications/startcompiz.desktop && gksudo leafpad /usr/share/applications/startcompiz.desktop [14:07] talin: same...

[14:09] jrib: not really [14:09] zebastian: in the file that opens, change the line that starts Exec= to read Exec=startcompiz [14:09] talin: what version of ubuntu? [14:09] zebastian: save the file and close gedit [14:09] not gedit, leafpad [14:09] jrib: 9.04 [14:10] talin: what is the output of: uname -m [14:10] jrib: x86_64 [14:10] zebastian: you now have a launcher, you can now run: cd ~/.config/autostart; ln -s /usr/share/applications/startcompiz.desktop . [14:11] talin: run « sudo apt-get update » and try to install the package again. If it still fails, pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list [14:11] ActionParsnip: i got one line that reads Exec=leafpad %f do i change it to Exec=startcompiz [14:11] ? [14:11] jrib: that worked! thank you [14:12] Exec=leafpad %f to Exec=startcompiz is that correct ActionParsnip?

[14:18] how do i tell ubuntu what locales to generate? [14:18] ActionParsnip: /home/sebastian/.config [14:18] ManDay: that seems to work nicely, and you can redirect script's output to /dev/null and still have the stuff captured in the log file.

I would like to restart most stuff (doing the equivalent of a telinit 1 telinit 5). Any suggestion ? THanks. [14:20] jrib: and it didn't pick it up [14:20] bigcx2: why... use gconftool [14:20] jrib: for a personal package [14:20] zebastian: ok then run: mkdir ./autostart; cd autostart [14:20] done [14:20] bigcx2: ask the gnome guys how to properly do that [14:21] hallo [14:21] jrib: just curious, do you work for canonical?

[14:25] but how that works, I havent got a clue [14:25] lol is your cache that full? [14:25] amnesia: no, didn't you see what I told you before? You can only delete foo/bar if you have write permissions on foo, which amnesia does [14:25] ln -s /usr/share/applications/startcompiz.desktop . ActionParsnip? [14:26] zebastian: yes [14:26] what's foo? [14:26] and what's bar:p [14:26] ok brb let me go check that it works [14:26] foobar sounds real familiar [14:26] amnesia: an arbitrary directory, and bar is arbitrary file inside foo [14:26] names used for examples.

[14:38] ActionParsnip: it just occured to me, sometimes when i am watching a movie or an avi video, i turn compiz off, how would i go about doing that? [14:38] amnesia: foo and bar are just used as generic names for variables, like "x" and "y" in math [14:38] harisund: well, its now called adobe reader [14:38] ahh okay [14:39] zebastian: could make a script to turn off compiz and run the program then start compiz up when its done [14:39] so basically you're sayin I am not in "some file"? [14:39] zebastian: that sort of messing around is 1 reason why i detest compiz [14:39] zebastian: its just not worth it [14:39] harisund: cant you find it from synaptic? [14:40] ActionParsnip: but to do it manually [14:40] how would i go about it [14:40] amnesia: when I said foo/bar I could have said Desktop/ateam-movie or jrib/Desktop or any other directory with something inside of it. I was just trying to be generic [14:40] indus there is "adobe reader" yes but no mozilla plugin [14:40] ahh okay sorry [14:40] harisund: hmm mozilla plugin for what [14:40] For the adobe reader [14:41] so the permissions for removing are arranged differently? [14:41] harisund: to do what [14:41] hello, i want to ask. why don't they do some installations in ubuntu more simple? like the tor installation which i havn't succeed with [14:41] harisund: i know what but i still want to ask [14:41] indus to see PDFs within my browser [14:41] hi, I've got a 54m wireless card, I plugged it in and nothing is showing up on ubuntu hardy.

[14:42] Hi all, How can I avoid backup files like "myfile.txt~"? [14:42] zebastian: theres an app you can run to switch between window managers. Iforget its name [14:42] indus yes that takes me to Adobes' website directly .. [14:42] Total_Oblivion, use your windows install cd to repair the MBR then format the ubuntu partitions using windows [14:42] amnesia: the permissions on a directory have a different meaning than those on a file [14:42] will I have access to RAID5 volume right after start of Ubuntu livecd? is it safe for raid5 volume data?

[14:43] ActionParsnip: otherwise how would you do it on the terminal? to turn compiz off and on [14:43] jrib: I know [14:43] harisund: strange [14:43] after a fresh install of ubuntu, how do I get computer, documents, trash etc. icons on my desktop? [14:43] indus I guess i will have to try that. It's just that I am afraid to download anything from the web and install it myself (like I do in Windows) since then if I ask for any support on the forums or IRC I am simply yelled at for not using the repositoies [14:43] harisund: wait 2 sec [14:43] amnesia: and as you notice, write permissions for a directory determine whether a file can be removed and/or renamed [14:43] harisund: ya that reader is what you looking for i believe [14:43] just moved from ubuntu from vista :3 [14:43] jrib: but remove doesnt fall under read,write,execure right? [14:43] SharpRain, i use it [14:43] amnesia: it falls under "write for parent directory" [14:43] indus It's as though if I don't use the repositories for something I am voiding my Ubuntu warranty haha ..ok I will try it the manual way [14:43] harisund: it then integrates with browser too so u can view pdf [14:43] hm okay [14:44] indus All right will give it a try [14:44] harisund: wait [14:44] harisund: download from ubuntu repo enable the partner repository [14:44] indus, I have enabled the partner repo [14:44] please answer me [14:44] indus: What's the name of the package there?

[14:45] amnesia: if you're interested in this sort of stuff, you may be interested in learning more about how the filesystem works. Look up what inodes work. I think that will also give you a better understanding for your current question [14:45] after a fresh install of ubuntu, how do I get computer, documents, trash etc. icons on my desktop? [14:45] just moved from ubuntu from vista :3 [14:45] s/what/how [14:45] to ubuntu from vista* [14:45] does anyone here have pcchip p29g model?

[14:48] harisund: or just install from adobe to save the hassles [14:49] zebastian: when you run the command it will vanish, or you can press alt+f4 to close it === x_x is now known as Guest13542 [14:49] indus: Will do man :) Thank you [14:49] also [14:49] genni extended-ACCII is a encoding type. that's because iconv doesn't recognise it. [14:49] how do I set VLC to the default media player? [14:50] gennii extended-ACCII is a encoding type. that's because iconv doesn't recognise it. [14:50] ActionParsnip: i keep doing alt f2 and nothng happens [14:50] genii extended-ACCII is a encoding type. that's because iconv doesn't recognise it.

[14:51] i want to ask. why don't they do some installations in ubuntu more simple? like the tor installation which i havn't succeed with [14:51] noelferreira: It's probably then iso 8859 [14:51] zebastian: it just stops a whole load of good stuff run. and for what, some crappy animations. per-lease [14:51] bro: hi, you won't guess what i did in the end [14:51] zebastian, reinstalled ubuntu?

[15:16] mehedi: ask a question [15:16] mehedi, I can change mine easily without rerunning the setup [15:17] can someone suggest how to instruct pppd to log to separate files per pppoe connection (we have 2 isp lines coming in, and ubuntu has load balancing the 2 connections) using syslog?

Burning .iso files: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto [15:22] thanks [15:25] dpreacher-> just an idea, if you are familiar with iptables, you can mark and direct the log per interface basis.. [15:25] is it still better to install the nvidia drivers directly from nvidia or is the driver from the repository adequate [15:25] I already set opera as my default browser on ubuntu (for speed reasons) but when I double click on a html file in nautilus, it still opens it with firefox. why? [15:25] demonspork, repository [15:26] boscop, and html file is considered "the internet" when you set opera to be the default browser, it is just set to handle things like http://www.google.com and such [15:26] librenes, currently loadbalancing using shorewall which uses iptables basically. but you're saying that iptables would be logging instead of pppd? i know which interface is for which isp line... [15:26] boscop, you have to associate the html file with opera separately [15:26] demonspork, each single hmtl file?? [15:26] boscop, no [15:27] hi [15:27] I have a dell optiplex gx 240, with AD1885 Integrated Audio. i installed ubuntu 9.04 and im not getting any sound. neither from my speakers nor from my pc speakers, need help please. [15:27] boscop, just the .html extension isn't associated, because setting a default browser just associates URL handle with a particular browser [15:27] dpreacher-> yes, there are hooks within netfilter aka iptables to allow you to mark a packet based on which interface it goes in/out then your rules will log them [15:27] boscop, but since a .html file isn't a URL, then it is still set top open with firefox [15:28] librenes, thanks for the awesome tip. I'll sit with my colleague who has worked on the shorewall setup and get it done. [15:28] demonspork, ok thx [15:29] I have a dell optiplex gx 240, with AD1885 Integrated Audio. i installed ubuntu 9.04 and im not getting any sound. neither from my speakers nor from my pc speakers, need help please. can somebody help me please? [15:29] dpreacher-> perhaps you and your friend can write some tutorials on how you got it accomplished? i cant do it myself as i never had two isp providers [15:29] chingus, did it work? [15:29] demonspork, and how do I make apps like vlc show up in opening dialogs? [15:29] no :( [15:29] ahh man [15:29] but it sped up my computer by a lot [15:30] demonspork, for example opening a stream in opera [15:30] Amazing I was aiming for the effects but this is actually better... [15:30] chingus, you trying to compiz? [15:30] But still any more tips? [15:30] librenes i see. that'll be some task to achieve then. i'll post my notes somewhere public [15:30] use [15:30] I tried Compiz but no help. [15:31] chingus, i cant use compiz either [15:31] The desktop thing just doesn't work [15:31] hmmm... [15:31] good day, using 8.10 as a file server i wrote a shell script to backup the users home directories, i set it as a cron job but it only backs up some users not all, when i run the script manually it works as intended. what could be wrong [15:31] I might actually go with the other person's suggestion, and get a new graphics card [15:31] WEll thanks thiebaude. [15:31] chingus, just remember that xorg.conf thing i did [15:31] np [15:31] dpreacher yes, its not quite easily done. here is one link that may help http://www.shorewall.net/traffic_shaping.htm [15:31] Pity the desktop couldn't work but my comps lighting fast now. [15:32] chingus, write it down [15:32] What did that function do? [15:32] Write what down? [15:32] chingus, yep [15:32] end of draft for 802.11n after 7 years :-) [15:32] Oh kk [15:32] Yea... [15:33] librenes i agree no less, my friend's i'd admit the more smarter and persistent one, who got the loadbalancing done after some months without a custom kernel or anything [15:33] ccole1: output the script to a log file. [15:33] Its saved in and all now, and made back up of that on more than just root... [15:33] do you maybe know why so many times it takes loads of time to find the right wireless network wireless network while some time it doesn't find it at all? [15:33] chingus, cool [15:33] i did it gives no errors [15:33] well anyway g2g thanks thiebaude [15:33] exit. [15:33] chingus, no problem, glad that worked [15:33] even when it does not work? [15:34] dpreacher i dont think it requires a special kernel, more of a module within netfilter [15:34] yeah [15:34] use rm -v [15:34] oh librenes...i was referring to the load balancing part [15:34] which also can be done with or without custom kernel [15:34] hello all. are there any sources from where i can install newer kernels onto jaunty [15:35] rm -v explain please [15:35] lotia: check the PPA repositories perhaps. [15:35] !ppa [15:35] With Launchpad's Personal Package Archives (PPA), you can build and publish binary Ubuntu packages for multiple architectures simply by uploading an Ubuntu source package to Launchpad. See https://help.launchpad.net/PPAQuickStart. [15:35] ccole1: man rm [15:36] you are using rm to delete the files correct? [15:36] !man [15:36] The "man" command brings up the Linux manual pages for the command you're interested in. Try "man intro" at the command line, or see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | Manpages online: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/ [15:36] I have a dell optiplex gx 240, with AD1885 Integrated Audio. i installed ubuntu 9.04 and im not getting any sound. neither from my speakers nor from my pc speakers, need help please.

[15:38] can i post a copy of my script [15:38] ccole1: pastin your script [15:38] th3seaw0lf, if its the same as the Dell optiplex I had, its an ISA based sound card and I found it easier to install a PCI sound card [15:38] #creates a gzip tar file of users home directory and databases [15:38] conduit is the answer btw... [15:38] Hlitech, so what should i do? [15:38] get a new soundcard? [15:38] th3seaw0lf, does it show up in lspci? [15:39] hi, [15:39] no [15:39] is there a masm dissembler in the masm installer included? [15:40] ccole1: is the script running as root? and are there hole dir missing or just a few files? [15:40] th3seaw0lf, then its probably an isa based card which means getting a PCI sound card would be easier [15:40] solos_revenge, its nasm in linux [15:40] i put it as a cron job sudo crontab -e [15:40] yes but im talking about masm [15:41] of the 8 directories it copies 2 when run as a cron [15:41] Halitech, now soundcard then? ok :/ [15:41] its a different syntax isnt it?

[15:45] i want to know why [15:45] can anyone help? [15:46] !help > lars2 [15:46] lars2, please see my private message [15:46] if i change pam_unix.so back to "required" ... everything is working ok [15:47] ccole1: please pastin your script so i can look at it. [15:47] why do some programs run by name and others require ./ to run them? [15:48] jiohdi: if they are in the PATH you dont need the ./ [15:48] pasted [15:48] jiohdi: some are in your path. [15:48] jiohdi: There's an environment variable $PATH that contains a list of directories where to search for programs if you don't specify a path. [15:48] jiohdi: otherwise you will need the ./ [15:48] where is the link? [15:48] jiohdi: For example, 'ls' is in /bin, and /bin is in $PATH, so you only type 'ls' [15:48] grawity: in what path? [15:49] jiohdi: echo "$PATH" [15:49] !path [15:49] Sorry, I don't know anything about path [15:49] jiohdi: try e.g. "which echo" and then "echo ${PATH}" [15:50] jiohdi: your 'current' directory is normally not on your PATH unlike windows where it normally IS searched first. [15:50] jiohdi: you will find /bin in the list of directories [15:50] I get you... mostly bin folders [15:50] Bash Basics :) [15:50] grawity@insanity ~/Projects$ echo $PATH [15:50] ~/.bin:~/.local/bin:~/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/games [15:50] jiohdi: And if you want to run a program that is not in $PATH, you need to specify the full path. [15:51] or be in that directory [15:51] <_ikke_> Dr_Willis: Thats the most satisfying answer [15:51] http://paste.ubuntu.com/271497/ [15:51] jiohdi: No, the current directory is never in $PATH by default. [15:51] jiohdi: ./someprogram means "run someprogram from the current directory" [15:51] I meant in the directory of the program [15:52] If you're in the directory of the program, you _still_ need to specify the full path to the program. [15:52] anyone knows about some detailed PAM documentation? [15:52] When I'm trying to install Ubuntu 9.04 from live pendrive, its giving unable to install GRUB in /dev/sda FATAL ERROR [15:52] I tried other partitions, same error [15:52] grawity... I just did ./uninstall from within the google-earth dir and did not need to specify anything more [15:52] jiohdi: But you did specify the path - by using ./ [15:53] jiohdi: "." means the current directory, and ./uninstall means a file "uninstall" in the current directory.

[17:11] i am plagued by a graphically corrupted usplash whenever i boot my pc and try to use 1920x1200 (native) resolution for it [17:11] geirha: it gives me an option to continue install without loading kernel modules and then gives me an error about not detecting network interface stuff [17:11] anyone using itunes with ubuntu? i could use some help [17:11] Trijntje: oh okay, thank you very much, i appreciate the help!:) [17:12] how do you activate xine in mozilla firefox? [17:12] cheftux: why are you trying to use itunes with ubuntu? are you running it through wine or something? [17:12] mgmuscati: Stretched? [17:12] attempting to mgmuscari but its not working [17:12] geirha: it fails the step Detec network hardware [17:12] cheftux: Don't use iTunes [17:12] i've tried wine, and using sun virtualbox === [A]KangB is now known as [A]Way [17:12] yes, but not gracefully. instead of scaling the splash screen, it repeats bits of it in choppy vertical stripes [17:12] virtualbox is better [17:12] i have an iphone and i need to sync with itunes, unless you know another way [17:12] looks kind of like 'uu b unn tu' [17:13] i wouldn't play music from itunes via VB. [17:13] jshultz: FOr what? [17:13] use banshee isntead [17:13] ndrwc: the thing is, it worked when i used ubuntu 8.04, but then i upgraded to 8.10 and then it started doing that, so i installed the newest drivers from nvidia using the .run they have, and it made it start using the failsafe, so then i downloaded and burned a copy of ubuntu 9.04 and installed it, and then it said to install the nvidia drivers using the "Hardware Drivers" program, i did that and it started doing the line thing again.. [17:13] nameless|: Ok, so it's unable to find a driver for your network card then. Do you know what network card(s) it has? [17:13] mgmuscari: Hmmm... [17:13] cheftux, there's some rudimentary support in other packages i believe... although i never sync my iphone period because i have it jailbroken :p [17:13] LouisT: uhh.... [17:13] mgmuscari: Jaunty I assume? [17:13] if i use banshee will it sync my iphone like in tunes and i really don't want to jailbreak my phone [17:13] no [17:14] geirha: it's part of the mobo. Not sure what model it is. Whatever they put in the HP Pavilion a1130n [17:14] Is there a way to turn off the xxxx has joined/left notifications in Konversation? [17:14] ok, if anyone can tell me how to work out what version of the nvidia drivers i have via cli.. [17:14] see the whole point of itunes is getting my music off my old account and transfering it onto the new computer [17:14] cheftux: you don't have to jailbreak it, i'm just saying that i don't bother using any sync features that can't be done OTA [17:14] so i just deleted a lot of files how do i get them back? [17:14] cheftux: i hope that the music isn't music you bought through the itunes store... DRM sucks [17:15] here's what i did, and it's a crappy solution. my music is hosted locally. i have a vm with a stripped down winxp that i use for itunes and adobe cs4. itunes runs like crap in a vm though for some reason. but anyway, it pulls the music via a shared folder through vb. it syncs with with my ipod that way. [17:15] hrm [17:15] mgmuscari: You can buy them DRM free though [17:15] idjc [17:15] icarus: check your trash... [17:15] Woops [17:15] i have the 3.1 firmware which apparently hasnt' been jailbroken yet. [17:15] lol least it works though [17:15] lartza_: well, not everything. unless they've changed it recently... i haven't used it in a while... [17:15] thanks guys! [17:15] does anyone ever play MOV-files on there linux system? [17:15] their* [17:15] LouisT: I assume that I have 180, on a 6200 [17:15] ndrwc: i can see mine in /var/log/nvidia-installer.log, but idk if that helps [17:16] mgmuscari: iTunes Plus, you can even convert your DRM songs to DRM free [17:16] ndrwc: well, when i installed using "Hardware Drivers", it installed 180... =/ [17:16] nameless|: Hm. Google or the manual might know. I don't :) [17:16] LouisT: I think I've just been able to put them in via the restricted hardware drivers app [17:16] mgmuscari, i wish it was that simple but the files are not there due to the files being on a portable device when they were deleted [17:16] that's a step in the right direction [17:17] icarus: check the trash on the device. depends on the filesystem of the device [17:17] you could unmount it [17:17] geirha: MSI MS-7093 [17:17] icarus: YOu mgiht not get them back [17:17] then mount it as read only. that way you won't risk overwriting things that are still there [17:17] ndrwc: when i go into that, it says i have 180, it's acivated, and currently in use... [17:18] LouisT: it's difficult to track down the problem unless you can find someone who's had the same symptoms and described in a way you're searching for [17:18] i cant find the trash folder [17:18] yea, i've asked others that i know about it, but they have no idea =/ [17:18] mine was that I needed to do a bios update, highly obscure bug specific to my laptop model [17:18] speedball [17:19] LouisT: oh, is this onboard? [17:19] i want to make my external vga port a separate tty on my laptop and redirect xbmc [17:19] ndrwc: what do you mean? [17:19] Is it possible to use a dual head setup that uses a monitor from both an nvidia card and one from an ATI card as a multiview setup using xrandr? [17:19] i'm not sure how to make the external port a separate tty, or how to redirect xbmc's output [17:19] xbmc: rtfm [17:19] tty: googled, no luck [17:19] LouisT: as in, on the motherboard or PCI/AGP/whatever expansion card? [17:19] sp0tter, you're running both of those in the same box? [17:19] does anyone know why skype would start up twice without being in startup applications? [17:19] yea [17:19] and session saving is off [17:20] LouisT: yes which? :) [17:20] does anyone know why my application menu is wiped out [17:20] mgmuscari, yes [17:20] sp0tter: and you don't have any trouble running both of those kernel modules? [17:20] mgmuscari, I'm asking if its possible, i havent bought the 2nd card yet [17:21] i assume the motherboard, on the from of the tower it says it has a PCI expansion slot however [17:21] thinking of getting this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121320 [17:21] so how do i recover my files? [17:21] I just wish I knew if you could use the hdmi and dvi out at the same tiem on that one [17:21] sp0tter: i myself would never even attempt to run such a setup, considering how hard it is to even get fglrx working correctly... [17:21] hm... any macbook users here? I'm using the AwesomeWM, and can't seem to get my audio to work. [17:21] i want to make my external vga port a separate tty on my laptop and redirect xbmc [17:21] why would you buy a second graphics card from a different vendor? [17:21] mgmuscari, It's not hard at all to get fglrx working.. [17:21] i'm not sure how to make the external port a separate tty, or how to redirect xbmc's output [17:21] xbmc: rtfm [17:21] tty: googled, no luck [17:21] LouisT: ok, might be best to do some more searching for "nividia", "linux", "6100", and your motherboard :( [17:21] n-iCe: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [17:21] mgmuscari, because nvidia cards support CUDA [17:22] fglrx is incredibly tempremental. [17:22] sp0tter: depends on what your graphics chipset is... takes some finagling to get things running correctly on my laptop, for example [17:22] keith_hanson: which revision? [17:22] fglrx works fine for me, but with my motherboard you can only use dvi OR hdmi out, and I need dual digital outputs [17:22] sp0tter: so why don't you ditch the ati card? [17:22] mgmuscari, its onboard.. and free to use [17:23] disable it and buy a card with two dvi ports [17:23] Dual port Nvidia not an option? [17:23] mgmuscari, you are not helpful at all :) [17:23] moncky, eni23: i removed everything named mysql and reinstalled both server and client [17:23] i guess you're looking for the xTreme budget solution [17:23] Grenage, Id' like to use 3 eventually [17:23] still the same problem [17:23] Ah I see [17:23] sp0tter: want to buy an ati x1800xt cheap? [17:23] mgmuscari, no. [17:24] ndrwc: Of ubuntu or Awesome? Ubuntu Jaunty, macbook 1,1, and Awesome release "Faith" [17:24] I've only run two screens with one nvidia card, I am afraid. [17:24] mgmuscari, if you don't know.. why cant you just say "i have no idea" instead of trying to offer different solutions than the one im' asking about [17:24] none of the icon sets I am installing seem to work, the icons changed, but they stay the same change (a theme I didn't install) no matter what set I install [17:24] helo i have ubuntu jaunty and my applications menu is compleetly wipped out my updates didnt have enough space so it said to run sudo apt-get clear or clean please do help me do i need to not use wubi is there a simpler way? please do help me! [17:24] Grenage, I'm running two screens on the build in ati hd4200 right now, but only one is digital out and the analog is killing my eyeballs [17:25] how do i make gaim use ff3.5 when i click a link? [17:25] i have both 3.0 and 3.5 installed, and i want to use only 3.5 [17:25] keith_hanson: only stuff i can find on a macbook 1,1 is https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook1-1/Hardy sorry :( have you had sound working in other WMs/releases? [17:25] I see, is it a poor refresh rate? [17:26] MFen: do you have 3.5 as default browser? or does gaim have prefs for that? [17:26] i would use the word pedantic, but that would be the pot calling the kettle black in my case, so i'll just capitulate and say that i really don't know whether you could make that work. my educated guess would be, "no," and i wouldn't purchase a piece of hardware and try to make it work [17:26] nah, then analog out just has ghosting and you have to hit the AUTO focus button everyrime you turn it on (or siwtch the kvm) [17:26] VCoolio: i don't even know what "default browser" means in gnome. if gaim has prefs for it, then that's what i'd like to find out about [17:26] the newer cheap lcd monitors don't do well with analog above 19" [17:26] i mean, it may be possible, but it probably depends on the exact chipsets of each card, and which driver module you use... you might do better with the open source ati drivers than with fglrx [17:27] MFen: in system>preferences>preferred applications you can set your default browser [17:27] mgmuscari, the open source one radeonhd is incredibly slower than fglrx [17:27] aha, preferred applications (accessible through gaim > preferences > network) [17:27] Gotcha, I would throw wy work ATI into the Nvidia and test it for you, but I wouldn't get a chance until next week. [17:27] ndrwc: Yes. Gnome seems to have the sound working, though I'm somewhat newbish and can't figure out what is starting up so that I can setup the same things in Awesome [17:27] sp0tter: are you planning to use this for 3d applications? [17:27] ndrwc: Thanks btw :) [17:27] aaron11: What do you mean by 'wipped out'? Can you explain it in other words? [17:27] mgmuscari, yes [17:27] well, I will continue stumbling through launchpad until I get emails etc. informing me how to do things properly :P [17:27] yep, that worked [17:27] thanks :) [17:28] There is a Crome development version out for ubuntu [17:28] sp0tter: don't you think that running both the nvidia and ati kernel modules concurrently, and moreover trying to get them to communicate in some way will incur massive overhead? [17:28] aaron11: you could try wiping your panels.... === [Sp00ky] is now known as [Spooky] [17:28] mgmuscari, no [17:28] nameless|: Apparently that MB has Realtek RTL8100C NIC, which Ubuntu should have a driver for. So that's a bit odd. [17:28] sp0tter: why not? [17:28] Pici it shows nothing no 'accsesories' no 'programming' like that [17:28] mgmuscari, why would it? [17:28] ndrwc what do you mean [17:29] aaron11: Do you have any panels? Do you see Applications, Places and System at the top left at all? [17:29] aaron11: how about right-click and edit menus? otherwise delete your panels preferences [17:29] it strikes me that you probably won't be able to reach the level of customization that it would take to avoid any kinds of collisions, especially in terms of memory addressing and other low level stuff [17:29] If the screens are independant, it 'should' be ok. [17:29] mgmuscari, that makes zero sense :) memory addressing has nothing to do with ati vs nvidia [17:29] Pici yes [17:29] memory addressing has everything to do with where data goes when it's trying to go to the cards... [17:30] Pici but if you click applications nothing comes [17:30] Grenage, from what I understand the screens are independent but xrandr connects them on a virtual screen [17:30] oh, he left.. [17:30] Pici if you click places or system it works [17:30] mgmuscari, I'm sorry but I disagree with you completly. Yuo are making vague irrelivant statements my friend. [17:30] mm then it would be a suck it and see, there may be some overhead. [17:30] i mean, one fundamental issue that i can think of right off the bat is that they'll compete for other libraries like opengl and stuff [17:30] Sp0tter: the question is can the bios allocate memory for both cards [17:31] aaron11: Can you open a terminal and run: update-menus [17:31] does it work in ? [17:31] the BIOS can no worries. [17:31] ndrwc, of course it can... [17:31] sp0tter: why would one assume that "of course" it can? [17:31] sure, in windows you can use any multiple cards for a dual head setup === MadMax is now known as Guest12525 [17:32] Pici no [17:32] aaron11: no you can't do that, or no it didn't work? [17:32] well, whatever, i'll concede defeat, leave this to the systems guys, and limit my expertise to theory... [17:32] Pici it didnt wrk [17:33] amd_x64? Will it work on intels? I dont see any other x64 download [17:33] mgmuscari: I have to say from personal experience though, what windows works with and how the bios maps memory can be totally different things... [17:34] ndrwc: that's another good point [17:34] aaron11: Can you run: alacarte and see if there is anything available to be checked for the applications menu? [17:34] Pici do u run that in a terminal [17:34] Sp0tter: I think your best chance of getting anywhere is to start with one card, get it working, and try adding the second [17:34] aaron11: Doesn't matter, its a gui application === codylaeder is now known as valarauca [17:35] Does anyone know how to boot fedora on top of vista and ubuntu? [17:35] no [17:35] Pici its not gui [17:35] ndrwc: it sounds like he's already running an integrated ati chipset and wants to add a pci express video card on top [17:35] aaron11: alacarte is a gui application. [17:35] and understandably doesn't want to blow $55 to find out that it doesn't work [17:36] Loader sure. Copy your /boot/grub/menu.lst file down and then install fedora on a new partition, and then added the entries to the new menu.lst from the old one [17:36] Loder333-> on top as you mean a virtual guest running on fedora or windows? [17:36] mgmuscari: ahh ok, so the hardware hasn't been purchased yet... Sp0tter be prepared to buy a new system for your CUDA card if it doesn't work :P [17:36] sorry I meant triple boot [17:36] ndrwc, well I have another nvidia card here I can test with, I guess thats what I need to do [17:37] I think spotter has the right idea of what I want to do [17:37] Loder: no problem, as long as you have some free partitions [17:37] Loder333-> then thats easy..yeah per Sp0tter [17:37] how can i add more sets of sounds to ubuntu? [17:37] aaron11: What was the last thing you did before this broke? [17:37] I have already freed 80gb for fedora [17:37] Loder333, It's pretty simople, i did a similar thing yesterday with ubuntu and arch [17:37] lets say i'm going to install windoes xp over ubuntu running system. i would i be able to do it and be able to boot ubuntu? do i need to first devide the drive again? [17:37] the package server is down so is there any other way to register the gpg key [17:37] Loder3331: assuming the fedora installer lets you install wherever you want and not auto-install grub, easy [17:37] I just tried to just put it in there from the fedora dvd, and it didn't work [17:37] i not try dual boot ubuntu with fedora but ubuntu with suse=ok === steve____ is now known as stev3 [17:37] loder: is that space on a separate partition? [17:37] It's just unallocated space on the drive [17:38] I shrunk my vista drive by an extra 80gb to put fedora in there [17:38] So with my motherboard, it has dvi and hdmi out, but you can only use one of those + the analog. Are nvidia video cards the same way? [17:38] loder: so it's unpartitioned... no problem [17:38] mgv1: better install windows first [17:38] I chose "free space" as where to install fedora when I was putting it on, and it gave me an error [17:38] Beause if i could use the hdmi->dvi adapter + the dvi out for a dual head i could forget the ati card for now [17:38] Loder, what error? [17:39] It's a long, long error file [17:39] Pici got my mesage [17:39] pici got disconnected [17:39] I read through some of it and I think it said something about not knowing where to put it, but I don't know [17:39] What modifications does Ubuntu do to my Firefox? Why do I see a "Ubuntu Firefox Modifications 0.7" in my Firefox Add-Ons list? Who authorized Ubuntu to do this? [17:39] hello, i'm wondering if i can change the ctrl-alt-suppr combination to restart my server, in fact the suppr key is not working on the keyboard of the server, is there any way to change it to ctrl-alt-c for example ? [17:39] dragonrigs: What was the last thing that you did before this all broke? === clusty_ is now known as clusty [17:39] mgv1: try google? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=200031 [17:39] Hello,anybody here tried ubuntu netbook remix at acer aspire one zg5? === robert_ is now known as Guest95338 [17:39] the layout of my drive is like this: Vista-free space-ubuntu partitions-windows recovery partition [17:40] Pici i ran sudo apt-get clean or clear [17:40] sp0tter: i think that would probably depend on the specific chipset... afaik hdmi and dvi use the same encoding, but whether the card allows two streams to be written out simultaneously on different interfaces i don't know [17:40] dragonrigs: Anything before that? [17:40] mgmuscari, yea its not available from nvidia or asus unfortunatly to tell me if it allows it [17:40] mmm no [17:41] how can I open rara files on ubuntu ? [17:41] sp0tter: it probably depends on the drivers [17:41] .rar* [17:41] what is the shortcut for the run command dialog box [17:41] harisund: it become with ubuntu..it is normal [17:41] I forgot [17:41] cronoss: ctrl-alt-super isn't a key combination that I'ev ever heard of, do you mean ctrl-alt-delete or ctrl-alt-backspace ? [17:41] man Ubuntu is like some Apple among Linuxes. Anybody know what exactly it does? [17:41] super is the windows key [17:41] Loder3331: does fedora have an install-from-livecd option the same way ubuntu does? [17:41] demonspork, alt f2 [17:41] dragonrigs: apt-get clean wouldn't cause issues like this. Thats why I ask. [17:42] Pici, yes i mean ctrl-alt-del sorry :) [17:42] ruby_on_tails: what u run on? [17:42] That's what I'm using I think, I burned the iso to a dvd [17:42] !dontzap | cronoss [17:42] cronoss: To re-enable the Ctrl+Alt+Backspace combination that restarts your X server, you can install the "dontzap" package and use the command « sudo dontzap --disable ». The combination Alt+SysRq+K can also be used to obtain a similar effect.

[17:50] hey guys, can i update my nautilus in hardy to the version from jaunty? i'd like to have the "compact view" [17:50] kromar: why gparted?use cp --archive [17:50] genii, i have that trouble when file belong to me but i can't chown to somebody else [17:50] *sudo cp --archive [17:50] bro_: probably but I've never done it [17:50] kromar: try it and see :P [17:50] kromar: if you have a blank new disk, "dd" is a quick and easy way to copy a disk/partition [17:50] JediMaster: also a possibility [17:50] steven__: start here: http://tinyurl.com/pm2ly8 [17:50] hi seidos. i too downgraded to hardy. the video problems are gone now [17:50] JediMaster: "quick" is relative to block size :P [17:50] JediMaster: wahts "dd"? [17:51] cocoa117: There is a safeguard so that regular users can't chown something to root like a vicious app then run it with those priveleges [17:51] kromar: dd is a program [17:51] steven__: actually wine not support all .exe === bluebottle is now known as Guest85172 [17:51] seidos, just that i got used to some goodies in jaunty, now hardy looks so old... [17:51] JediMaster: but it will work if i copy it with gparted or will i get problems? [17:51] Pici yes i looked in that file i don't think i can change the combination from there, there is only : start on control-alt-delete ; exec /sbin/shutdown -r now "Control-Alt-Delete pressed" [17:51] kromar: block-level file copying [17:51] genii, i c [17:51] cocoa117: are you just trying to give someone else access to see it? [17:51] kromar: www.lmgtfy.com/?q=dd [17:52] mgmuscari, i was [17:52] hey how can i find the hdd on the dev folder [17:52] cocoa117: alternatively, you could modify file permissions to allow them to view, modify, and/or execute the contents of the file [17:52] mgmuscari, but never mind, i think i just chown so others can do it [17:52] ubuntu: mount [17:53] ndrwc: i think that that was not what he asked for [17:53] cocoa117: that works as long as you're in the sudoers file [17:53] ndrwc ? [17:53] How can I find a running program that I closed the window for? [17:53] ubuntu: what do you mean? [17:53] Pici, btw thank you for your help :) [17:53] am trying to mount a scsi hdd [17:53] ndrwc: i think that he thought about getting a n adress of a device to mount it. [17:53] mgmuscari, got it, i always in the sudo file, so never realised i can't chown once i am not === nox-Hand_ is now known as nox-Hand [17:53] ... gparted? === unnamed is now known as Guest36705 [17:53] Howc can I control things like in KOrganizer, such as calendar, todos etc, from CLI? [17:53] ndrwc let me explain [17:54] what do you mean you're always in the sudo file? you mean you log in as root? [17:54] it'd be an sdn if it's scsi [17:54] ndrwc: dmesg...? [17:54] Lol, I wonder what happened to the people who were helping me. Is anyone that was helping me with the vista-ubuntu-fedora triple boot? Or does anyone else know how to do it? [17:54] LuciusMare: hrm yes === the is now known as Guest61293 [17:54] is anyone still around*? [17:54] loder: what are you up to? [17:54] Buenos dias ¿Alguien habla español? [17:54] I'm trying to add fedora [17:54] !es | Carolus [17:54] Carolus: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [17:54] ndrwc i had a server with windows 2000 and crashed but since it has scsi hdd i got another server and used the ubuntu live cd and am trying to see if i can pull any data out of the hdd [17:54] I already have vista and ubuntu installed and dual-booting [17:54] loder: why don't you just boot from the cd and install it that way? [17:55] I tried and it gave me an error [17:55] I created 80gb of free space for fedora [17:55] and it didn't work [17:55] ok gracias [17:55] loder: what was the error. i don't think you told us before [17:55] Man...noone in Wine community can get this to work...haha [17:55] steven__: bronze rating means that it'll run ok. maybe not perfectly, but ok [17:56] it said there was a problem and gave me a really long text file which I was given the option to save [17:56] I figured I'd try to find out if I'm doing something wrong before I have somebody go through all that [17:56] ubuntu: dmesg | grep SCSI ? [17:56] loder: we can't help if you don't tell us what the problem was [17:56] Loder3331: so the livecd doesn't have an option to install then? bummer :( [17:56] ndrwc [17:56] What do you mean, ndrwc? [17:56] ndrwc ? [17:57] loder: pastebin the file [17:57] !tab | mgmuscari [17:57] mgmuscari: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [17:57] Loder3331: ok the ubuntu livecd has the install option on the desktop as of about hardy IIRC [17:57] MenZa: thanks! [17:57] mgmuscari: No problem. :) [17:57] ndrwc i dont understand [17:57] never realized that would work in pidgin... [17:58] ubuntu: in a terminal, "dmesg | grep SCSI" [17:58] I was trying to use the fedora livecd (dvd) to install fedora into some unpartitioned space that I freed up for it [17:58] mgmuscari: I didn't know it did. I'm happy the developers put it in, though. [17:58] and it wouldn't let me [17:58] MenZa: that certainly makes it easier... [17:58] mgmuscari: I'll have to go save the file first [17:58] Is it possible that the arrangement of my partitions could prevent fedora from installing? [17:59] Loder3331: have you tried booting from the cd (not into ubuntu or windows) and installing from there? [17:59] That's all I ever tried [17:59] Loder3331: I think at this point try #fedora :/ [17:59] I'm using the dvd [17:59] Yeah, I went there first, but they're not very helpful or active [17:59] Loder3331: there is a limit on the number of primary partitions you can have on a disk [17:59] I'm tempted to agree with ndrwc on this one; it seems like a problem with Fedora, not Ubuntu. Of course, if you can get the logfile, Loder3331, then it might be easier for us to troubleshoot it. [18:00] Loder3331: And, alternatively, direct you to the correct channels. :) === durt_ is now known as durt [18:00] Loder3331: you're not running past 4 primary partitions are you? [18:00] I don't think I am. Is there a way to tell? [18:00] Loder3331: furthermore, if you're trying to let it autoconfigure grub, it'll try to make a primary partition for the boot stuff, afaik. try to point it to your existing /boot [18:00] I know that I have two for vista, the regular partition, and a recovery partition [18:00] I don't know how many ubuntu uses [18:00] Loder3331: gparted again [18:01] Loder3331: It sounds like you have three primary partitions. A primary partition is required to boot from. [18:01] it's amazing how many problems gparted solves... :P [18:01] Loder3331: Check it with gparted, though. [18:01] what's the name of the program that creates ubuntu/deb packages from source code so you can uninstall them? [18:01] Does the free space for fedora have to be in any particular place? [18:01] Right now, It's between vista and ubuntu [18:02] Loder3331: no, but you know, i find that it's always nice to have a clean partition table [18:02] Loder3331: if all else fails put it at the end so it can create an extended... though AFAIK that would also count as a primary [18:02] AFAIK? [18:02] JediMaster: checkinstall does that. [18:02] Loder3331: "As far as I know" [18:03] not sure if it's possible / difficult to convert between primary and extended partitions.., [18:03] ah [18:03] MenZa: that's the one, thanks [18:03] Loder3331: have you tried making logical volumes? [18:03] It's impossible, ndrwc. [18:03] MenZa: figured as much [18:03] hello aaron11? [18:03] I don't know how that works, nor do I know what purpose it would serve, so no [18:03] You need to remove and create the partition. If you have enough free space, you can create a temporary partition to unload the data on, then copy it back, though. [18:03] Loder3331: you wouldn't hit that primary partition limit with logical volumes [18:04] "it's amazing how many problems can be solved with ..." an external hdd [18:04] How do I configure a volume to be logical? And which one(s) should I do it do? [18:04] do it to* [18:05] Loder3331: You need to remember that you Logical partitions can't be booted directly from. My suggestion is a /boot partition, which runs as primary. This could run a bootloader to boot both Fedora and Ubuntu. [18:06] Loder3331: The practicalities might require you to basically nuke your current partition table, unless you have the required space. And know that it might take a long, long time if you need to move partitions around. [18:06] right now vista is my /boot partition [18:06] !auto-apt [18:06] Sorry, I don't know anything about auto-apt [18:06] Loder3331: And by a long time, I mean several hours. [18:06] hmm.. [18:06] Loder3331: Huh? [18:06] you just have to make sure that your /boot is on a primary partition and that your kernel image is also in there [18:06] vista is /boot, and when I boot, I choose between vista and ubuntu [18:06] Loder3331: do you mean you're chain loading grub through the vista bootloader? [18:06] ubuntu is always selected automatically, but vista is my /boot partition according to gparted, if I remember correctly [18:06] O_o [18:07] :P [18:07] Loder3331: so I assume ubuntu's /boot is on the same partition as the root filesystem... [18:07] I wouldn't know, really [18:07] /boot and a boot flag aren't the same, Loder3331 - /boot is a Linux-specific mountpoint [18:07] speedball [18:07] I wasn't aware that one could set an ntldr entry for a linux partition [18:07] hey [18:07] speedball: ok [18:08] So by creating a /boot partition, when my bootloader comes up, instead of choosing from vista and ubuntu, I could choose from vista, or a sub-menu, or other bootloader or something, from which I could choose ubuntu or fedora? [18:08] !nvidia [18:08] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [18:08] ndrwc: i certainly have never been able to get vista's bootloader to point to linux [18:08] mgmuscari: I've only seen it done with wubi [18:08] Loder3331: do you see grub when you boot your computer? [18:08] yes [18:08] black screen with grey text choices? [18:08] Loder3331: Can you give me an idea of the number/capacity of your harddrive(s), so I can look around and draft up an idea for a partition layout? [18:08] Crome for ubuntu rocks. [18:08] Loder3331: so grub is the linux bootloader, and it's located in /boot [18:08] one 750gb harddrive [18:08] where is the gedit binary? it's not in /bin [18:09] Loder3331: I'll have a look around - give me five--ten minutes :) [18:09] Thanks [18:09] it would look like this: http://thegabfather.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/grub4kt.jpg [18:09] Curtis_B: It would probably be in /usr/local/bin/ [18:09] How do I go about reading media/data off other partition? eg. Windows [18:09] There is still just a development version, and plugins don't work reliably [18:09] thanks JonJ, I thought that space was for software I build on my own...hrm [18:09] mgmuscari: I remember doing dodgy things copying the mbr to a file and trying to point XP at it, ended up using a second hdd :/ [18:09] Oh, question - Loder3331, do you have a Windows Vista installation CD, or an OEM recovery CD? [18:10] Loder3331: the windows one would say "Windows Boot Manager" at the top [18:10] and similarly to that, where you would choose between the windows OSs after choosing the windows option, in my case, It would read as fedora/ubuntu or something? [18:10] No I don't, MenZa [18:10] I'm 95% sure I'm booting with grub [18:10] dog [18:10] it looks like the picture [18:10] Loder3331: properly configured, grub will display something like 'Ubuntu' 'Fedora' and 'Windows Vista' [18:10] Loder3331: Right === koh__ is now known as RussellAlan [18:10] JonJ, fyi, it was /usr/bin [18:10] Curtis_B: Nah, it's for local software that isn't essential for the system, as far as I can tell [18:11] grub chain loads the windows bootloader, which is on your windows C: partition [18:11] Curtis_B: Ah, ok [18:11] Does a recovery partition serve the same purpose as a recovery cd? [18:11] For windows? [18:11] Because my drive has a recovery partition [18:11] so /bin is essential, good to know [18:11] Loder3331: yes but that would eradicate your linux installations [18:11] Loder3331: I suppose, yes [18:11] and my BIOS has an option to boot into the recovery manager [18:11] mgmuscari: properly configured grub will only have linux os's :D [18:11] recovery ahs ur drivers etc [18:11] Loder3331: somewhat depends on the manufacturer :/ [18:11] tuxxie: touche [18:11] has* [18:12] how can i fix my cam on ubuntu 9.04 [18:12] Is gparted included in ubuntu or do I have to use the livecd? === ben is now known as Guest23092 === Guest23092 is now known as int0x0c [18:12] sudaya: whats wrong with it??

[18:15] hate to run before you figure your stuff out Loder3331, but i have to go talk to a professor about the project we're assigning our students... good luck [18:15] Thanks, and thanks for you help so far [18:15] Loder3331: no problem. try the man pages for help on the appropriate flag to look for extended/primary. run man gparted [18:15] have a look at the bars at the top, a cyan-ish border around several indicates extended [18:15] bye!

[18:23] hi [18:23] Loder3331: Note that the order of partitions is pretty important [18:24] menza, ndrwc, I'm trying to send you a screenshot of my gparted screen [18:24] please 1 question, how can i update the kernel? [18:24] did you see it? [18:24] !pastebin [18:24] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic [18:24] I see it, Loder3331 [18:24] !kernel | obiwan_ [18:24] obiwan_: The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - See also: /msg ubottu stages [18:24] ty MenZa [18:24] obiwan_: Be careful, though. [18:25] obiwan_: You shouldn't have to manually compile a new kernel. [18:25] And it can go poof. [18:25] anyone with xubuntu experiance? the #xubuntu channel is dead [18:25] !anyone | garv [18:25] garv: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [18:25] I still don't know what the information at that pastebin link means in terms of what I have to do with gparted [18:26] Loder3331: Look at the, uh, bar I created. It's ASCII, so not quite as pretty as what you see in gparted. [18:26] It requires you to delete most of your partitions and start over, basically. [18:26] Partitions are stone-age like that. [18:26] Menza would you reccomend using xubuntu or the netbook ver of ubuntu with a older laptop? [18:26] garv: That's up to your preferences. [18:26] !best [18:26] Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [18:27] heh [18:27] Man, I would be arthritic if I didn't depend so much on the factoids in here. [18:27] How can I have network manager use a static IP on the LAN? Is that a setting on the router, or in NM (or both)? [18:27] MenZa: my system atm: http://imagebin.org/63966 [18:27] swap inside extended [18:28] ndrwc: Ah. I'll keep that in mind. [18:28] MenZa: wait did I have a point there? :P [18:28] MenZa: okay so if I read correctly, I need to have a boot partition(primary), followed by a windows vista partition(primary), followed by an ubuntu partition(extended), followed by a fedora partition(extended), followed by a /home partition(extended), followed by a 16gb swap partition(I have 8gb ram.., extended) [18:28] I think i'd better get some sleep [18:28] Is that correct? [18:29] Loder3331: "Extended" just means it can contain several partitions, without ACTUALLY being a partition. [18:29] And good lord, if you have 8GB, don't waste a kilobyte on the swap [18:29] my work machine would be a better indication, it's a macbook so it's got EFI, OSX, Ubuntu and swap [18:29] lol [18:29] which grafic driver should i install if I don't want to use the proprietary ones (nvidea, ati). For to get a movie playing without problems? [18:29] ubuntu gave me a very small swap file by default [18:29] MenZa: ... hibernate? [18:29] so should I just take that one and put it at the end [18:29] I noticed when i restart my comp, at the ubuntu load screen it keeps doing "Routine check of disk" how can i disable this? [18:29] with gparted? [18:29] ndrwc: It should be able to suspend-to-ram. [18:29] oh why do swap partitions keep being used if swap files are better? [18:30] MenZa: power failure? [18:30] !swap [18:30] 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 [18:30] thiebaude: thankyou :) [18:30] Yeah [18:30] adac: depends on which card you have. nv driver for nvidia card. ati driver for ati card. the nv driver has no 3d acceleration at all. [18:30] Loder3331: If you *do* want swap, i wouldn not go above 1--2GB swap, but I really don't think you need it. [18:30] So MenZa, did you see my current configuration? [18:31] in the screencapture? [18:31] Loder3331: I must've missed it. Apologies. [18:31] Loder3331: Oh, I saw you sending it. Please upload it instead. [18:31] Alright where [18:31] ndrwc, no problem [18:31] idk wtf is with everyone recomending against swap... [18:31] Loder3331: I IRC through my server, which has no graphical interface. [18:31] is the netbook remix the same as the MID edition? if not where can I find a good information page on the netbook remix [18:31] Loder3331: http://imagebin.org, for instance. [18:31] lol ok, how [18:31] !nbr | garv [18:31] garv: nbr is Ubuntu Netbook Remix [18:31] send file [18:31] hm. [18:31] I noticed when i restart my comp, at the ubuntu load screen it keeps doing "Routine check of disk" how can i disable this? [18:32] Hi, can anyone help me? [18:32] rigodeni, did you try letting it do the check? [18:32] garv: check http://canonical.com/netbook [18:32] rigodeni: accept that you'll have data loss? [18:32] rigodeni: you probably shouldn't [18:32] Len: That certainly depends what you need help with. [18:32] gwildor: no [18:32] rigodeni; maybe ur hard drive has problomes [18:32] rigodeni, i would start there. [18:32] Menza thank you [18:32] how do I upload my picture to that page, MenZa? [18:32] rigodeni: you can make it run less often though, using tune2fs - and you can make it run faster by using ext4 filesystem [18:32] gwildor: k [18:32] bodly, Well I want to use my usb stick on multiple pcs the grafic card can differ. so what would you suggest? [18:33] send the file to him [18:33] its just because my linux cant find computers by name, just by ip [18:33] right click on his name [18:33] then send file [18:33] He wants me to upload it instead [18:33] ekimmargni: i heard theres issues with ext4 still [18:33] Loder3331: http://tinyurl.com/imagebin [18:33] rigodeni: which issues? [18:33] i'm thinking in installing bind [18:33] Good question, Loder3331 - http://tinypic.com instead. [18:33] adac: the vesa driver should work with just about any card out there. but it will be slow and not have many features. [18:33] or imageshack.us or whatever really :P [18:33] upload -= send i think [18:33] ekimmargni: i dunno [18:33] can I just use the link ndrwc just gave me? [18:33] It seems to be working [18:34] bodly, yeah it seems to be too slow for video (movies) [18:34] Loder3331: you can use whatever works, so long as you tell us where you've put it :) [18:34] MenZa: its just because my linux cant find computers by name, just by ip [18:34] rigodeni: all the issues I hear about have been fixed... online defrag, deleting large files, a bit of a kludge for desktop manager dotfiles... all done [18:34] http://imagebin.org/63967 [18:34] !ext4 | rigodeni [18:34] Sorry, I don't know anything about ext4 [18:34] wtf?! [18:35] luckily seb isn't here to botspam me :) [18:35] adac: if you just move your xorg.conf file out of the way, X should be able to figure out which driver to use automatically [18:35] len: you have a dns server? [18:35] Loder3331: Whichever :) [18:35] "ubottu: Sorry, I don't know anything about ext4" lol [18:35] Loder3331: Checking it out now. [18:35] K [18:35] I trashed the contents of /etc/grub.d on my Kubuntu laptop (Karmic using GRUB2) how do I replace the files that were there? [18:36] Loder3331: Well... You *can* leave Windows as the first partition - or so I'm told. Moving that block around would be no fun. swap the locations of /boot and /media/win on my partition table and work with it from there [18:36] bodly, so is it possible to install both drivers ati and nvidia at the same time?

[18:36] Loder3331: does your bios/recovery have specific requirements on where the recovery parition lives? [18:36] ndrwc: no, Im thinking in installing bind [18:37] I have no idea [18:37] Loder3331: I'd just delete most of my partitions and rebuild it completely. Oh, and leave your recovery partition where it is [18:37] Loder3331: you didn't move it then? [18:37] No [18:37] It's been there all along [18:37] ok [18:38] ndrwc: but I don't know how to set it up [18:38] Loder3331: It is a bit of brain surgery you have going here. If you're new to Linux, why don't you stick to one distribution? [18:38] len: err dunno. why bind? why not dnsmasq? [18:38] Lol I don't know [18:38] I just want to have them both [18:38] how can i set the notification to appear in the bottom [18:39] So what steps do I need to take in gparted from this point, to get where I need to be? [18:39] Do I just create a /home and a /boot partition in the free space? [18:39] Loder3331: Moving partitions around, deleting partitions, re-installing [18:39] and put them in the correct places? [18:39] Make sure they're all in the extended table [18:39] Like in the paste I gave you earlier [18:39] j [18:39] It *is* possible to do this, but you may need to read up on the different things a bit. It's a bit difficult to work with. === spc_ is now known as spc [18:39] Loder3331: are you wiping or keeping the NTFS partitions? looks like they need repairing [18:40] ndrwc: I just read on google that bind is more used, so I was shooting for bind [18:40] I plan on keeping them [18:40] How can I have network manager use a static IP on the LAN? [18:40] most of my things are on that partition [18:41] om26er: right click bottom panel choose add to panel choose Notification Area. i think that will work. Never tried it [18:41] Hig guys! What is the easiest way to make a bootable USB from karmic.iso? Thanks [18:41] bodly, you mean the proprietary ones? Or are there other? [18:41] K_Dallas: unetbootin [18:41] legend2440: i am talking abt the notification that popup [18:41] Loder3331: other thing, are you wiping ubuntu? install fedora first if you are, in case it's not as flexible as ubuntu for install locations [18:42] eh maybe not... :/ [18:42] stianhj, I don't have ubuntu installed yet but i have access to opensuse. Would this worked as well?

[18:42] fccf, thanks for the heads-up. [18:42] matt098, i dont think i can help, but i can say thanks for the awesome post. [18:43] Loder3331: you realise you've asked something along the lines of "I want more seats in my car" right? :P [18:43] bodly, what is their name?

[18:45] K7522, :):) agreed, msot of the time [18:45] most* even [18:45] Actually I don't mind deleting ubuntu, so if I delete all partitions except the two ntfs partitions, where do I go from there? [18:45] do I need to compile with the win32codecs to get support for decoding things like windows media player codecs? [18:45] hi [18:45] adac: as long as you don't have a driver hardcoded into your xorg.conf file, that should work.

However, 'restart', 'stop', 'foo', and even 'start2' *do* things. Please see: http://pastebin.com/m1abed131 Starting at line 97. [18:47] ubuntu1, why use wine for ms office?

Glass-icons is one that doesn't work, certain things like archives and certain other filetypes work, but folders and hard disk and cd rom icons don't, they just go back to defaults [18:47] Frots: That's easy, just run emerge [18:47] how do I set my resolution above 1024x768 on 8.04 LTS?

[18:54] Tomasso: there are linux distributions that actually solve that problem [18:54] Hey, is there a client that connects to Exchange? [18:55] keiya_: Not really. You could try Evolution, but the method it uses isn't very liked by many. [18:55] ben_m , how they do it?? [18:55] bodly, ok so while checking Xorg.0.log It seems that the driver that is taken is indeed the nvidia one. here is my log: http://pastie.org/617696 So my the cause for the slowliness wathcing a video is caused by something other...like the read/write speed of my usb stick? Is that possible? [18:55] keiya_: Evolution works better for me than Outlook ever did in Windows. [18:55] I mean, one that connects not through OWA, which all of them seem to use... the OWA xml-rpc stuff is disabled on this one. [18:55] ouch [18:55] Tomasso: I think it was puppy linux [18:55] Or something. [18:55] Yeah I think so [18:56] Either way, it thinks it's exchange 5.5. It's 8.1 [18:56] K7522: running rpcinfo -p will reveal the ports involved, however after a reboot, they are different, it is the nlock and mountd? or something like that. [18:56] hi [18:56] is it true that emesene will replace pidgin? [18:56] I heard it on the news [18:56] Frots: url? :) [18:56] this mroing [18:56] Frots, no it's not, you know it's not, and stop being silly. [18:56] shane2peru, tryin to sort it out, don't use nfs much. [18:57] thank you. [18:57] adac: yes, that is possible. is the video you're trying to watch on the usb stick as well? [18:57] No for real [18:57] K7522: understood, I'm still learning. :) [18:57] bodly, nope. Is from a server in my home network [18:57] Did UFW get replaced by ore with Firehol in 9? [18:57] This rather makes this a no-go :/ [18:57] vigo: no, UFW is still default [18:57] I meant that the standard messaging client that gets installed [18:58] is going to be emesene [18:58] Frots: Not emesene. (Empathy, maybe - but I doubt that too.) [18:58] Thank you. [18:58] why do you guys kick me if i ask something :s [18:58] empathy? [18:58] like in empty ? [18:58] Frots: unless you have a support question please chat in #ubuntu-offtopic [18:58] bodly, tried also to put it on the usb stick itself... which has quuite the same result as plying it from my samba server [18:58] jussi01: why so elitist [18:59] This is rather problematic... [18:59] when you've configured two monitors as two separate X displays, how do you get the mouse from one to the other? [18:59] I can access my mail through imap, but the calendar stuff... :/ [18:59] In Evolution, how do I tell it to delete a problematic message from the queue of messages to send? [18:59] shane2peru, http://www.lowth.com/LinWiz/nfs_help.html [18:59] adac: sounds like a driver issue then. there is also the proprietary nvidia driver and another opensource one called nouveau that i've never tried. [19:00] keiya_: Doesn't it have CalDAV or something like that? === codylaeder is now known as valarauca [19:00] please help - i can't run banshee.... http://paste.ubuntu.com/271603/ [19:00] MenZa, thx u [19:00] bodly, I could install the proprietary one of course. Is there still a fallback then to vesa or another one if I'm on a different pc? [19:00] I have some problems with the word "daemon" since I'm very religious. Can I somehow rename all "daemons" into something else [19:01] MenZa, it didnt fix my problem but the links might appreciate it [19:01] ben_m, its day-mon not dee-mon [19:01] DsXack: are you running karmic? [19:01] K7522: nice document, I didn't dig that one up, but it says to edit /etc/init.d/nfslock and I don't have that file [19:01] legend2440, yes [19:01] !karmic | DsXack [19:01] adac: no, i think it will only use the proprietary driver if you hardcode it into your xorg.conf. then it won't do the fallback to vesa [19:01] DsXack: Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 29th, 2009 - Karmic WILL break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [19:02] and ben got the boot... [19:02] legend2440, sory [19:02] shane2peru, do you have the nfs-utils package installed? [19:02] is there a way to run my display at bigger then 800x600? [19:03] K7522: hmm, doesn't seem to be in the repos [19:03] bodly, I see so if i would install the proprietary one I would have to write this explicitly into the xorg.conf. So that could cause trouble then on other pc's. Ok I guess that is not worth it ;) [19:03] I've been looking for a way to stream my live audio (from soundcard) to upnp.. icecast does the streaming to http, but I can't find any upnp server software that can take a http sound stream? anyone know of something I could use? [19:03] Hi all [19:03] zack19, make sure you ahve your video drivers installed and that your monitor supports a resolution bigger than that [19:03] adac: you could still try the nouveau driver for nvidia [19:03] Anyone know how I change the time (default 60s) to shutodown machine when press power button? [19:04] shane2peru, that's why you don't have that particular file; you can see what package they are in by looking at the "RPM" column. That package may be depreciated, try editing the rest of the ports and see if you've resolved it. [19:04] i play starcraft in wine, and i want to be able to alt-tab out of it. i'm able to now, but the screen resolution stays at 640x480. how can i make it change back to normal on alttab? [19:04] how do i go about updating or reistalling the display driver [19:04] bodly, If kvm would detect the resoltion correctly I would boot the usb stick with kvm in avirtual machine as guest. So I could program in the virtual machine (guest) and watch movies on my host system :) [19:04] i just switched to ubuntu so im a bit of a newb [19:04] bodly, yeah i will probably try that out! [19:04] K7522: yeah, I will look through the rest, that is why I was looking for Ubuntu specific instructions. Thanks for the tip though [19:04] shane2peru, actually it looks like most of the rest of it is ntfs-utils. Let me try to dig around some more. [19:04] zack19, do you ahve any idea what video card you ahve? [19:05] built in from a hp pavillion dv6700 [19:05] what are the usb paths once you plug it [19:05] zack19, on a laptop ? [19:05] shane2peru, well that link worked for others somwhere on the ubuntuforums.org site but again, may be depreciated [19:05] K7522: ok, perhaps your google magic is better than mine. ;) [19:05] what's the usb path once I plug it? [19:06] K7522: I dug up this old link: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-825094.html and gave it a try, but it didn't seem to help === rickspencer3 is now known as rickspencer3-afk [19:06] n-iCe: what usb paths?

[19:53] ekimmargni, if the machine is behind the router then simply set it as static with the IP address you want, wouldn't have anything to do with your isp [19:53] antikap, ext4 makes more intensive use of cache, so it might be 'less' secure in that way. I never had problems with ext4 tough, I suffered a lot of power outages here and didn't lose any data.

That works when sotfiware button is clicked. but for hardware button (when power button is pressed) not works. [20:05] rayne, it's hard to say what may be the issue without looking more closely; have you contacted their support? [20:05] J_P, because it is a safety feature to prevent the system from being shutdown in case its an accidental press [20:05] Pici: thanks i'll give that a shot === codylaeder is now known as valarauca [20:06] jenistin, TBH, their support is total shit. It took me over an hour last time I contacted them just to stop my billing cycle [20:06] Hello everyone. Anyone can give me some advice with using rsync for two-way syncing? [20:06] Halitech: yes. But I would like shutodown without question or wait 60s [20:06] How do I change language from English to Danish? System wide for all users. [20:06] Halitech: if that 60s was configurable, is fine. but where that time is configurable ? [20:06] where ? [20:07] J_P, then find a distro that doesn't include that feature like Debian [20:07] rayne, flash is flash; does it work in Windows for you? [20:07] trying to edit /etc/sudoers .... but its read only [20:07] jenistin, don't have winblows on this computer [20:07] kansan, sudo visudo [20:07] Halitech: good idea. Change a intire distribuition just because is not possible configure a timeout from 60s to 5s. That's a a joke!! [20:08] J_P, if it bothers you that much to hit the power button and click shut down or wait the 60 seconds then yeah [20:08] rayne, what is the mime statement for the applet? [20:08] what is the channel for nix mint? [20:09] jenistin, Not sure what a mime statement is [20:09] J_P: you could try asking in the #gnome channel [20:09] huwaw69: could be #linuxmint [20:09] Halitech: this not make sense [20:09] thanks Cynthia [20:09] how can i do social chat through x chat? [20:09] J_P: I have Ubuntu ask me what I want to do when I press the power button. If I want to shutdown, I press power then click "shutdown"...but I rarely shutdown, I usually suspend [20:09] any ETA yet for the initscripts / sysv-rc problems in karmic ? [20:10] jenistin, testing a possible solution I found on some forums, involves installing VLC and its plugin for Firefox === philippe is now known as Guest64435 [20:10] Hello everyone. Can anyone give me some advice with using rsync for two-way syncing? [20:11] J_P, if there are no config options in gconf or the power settings then its something a lot deeper that you would need to change, and it may not be easy [20:11] rayne, VLC's support of flash files is spotty [20:11] rayne, are you using adobeflashplayer? === tdn_ is now known as tdn [20:11] any ideas why pidgin would stop sending messages and keep giving me errors? [20:11] #join [20:11] jenistin, yes, the ones from the labs for 64bit support [20:11] it happens all the time - i dont get it using msn on windows [20:11] !join irc.spotchat.org [20:11] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [20:11] J_P, all I know is on my Debian install when I click shutdown, it shuts down with no 60 second wait message [20:11] rayne, I'm not familiar with that release; labs? [20:12] jenistin, which is the weird thing... is I can watch and hear youtube videos and imbedded flash adds on other sights [20:12] jenistin, its like their development part of their site, apparently the 64bit version isn't exactly done [20:12] hi, I am using ubuntu 9.04, the screen flickers and freezes when I enable compiz, it worked flawlessly in suse 11.1 though, so it works, could anyone tell me where I am going wrong ? [20:13] ph33r try ubuntu ibex [20:13] rayne, oh I see. Well Sirius internet radio website says that the audio is streamed in WMV [20:13] jenistin, ah... hence why VLC would be needed [20:13] huwaw69, what's ibex ? [20:13] ph33r its ubuntu 8.10 [20:13] rayne, yes, but VLC is spotty with WMV as well. Have you tried mplayer? [20:14] jenistin, yes, is there a plugin for Firefox for it though? [20:14] thats 60s is configurable in some place... [20:14] or perhaps your video card is not good enough for compiz ph33r? [20:14] huwaw69, can't it work in 9.04 ? [20:14] Hi, I'm using Ubuntu Karmic. Following a system update and trying to boot with kernel 2.6.31-10 I receive this error and it stops: pci_enable_pcie_error_reporting failed - Can somebody give me advice?

[20:16] huwaw69, I installed ccsm, fusion and emerald [20:16] ph33r: 1) You shouldnt need to install anything for compiz, it comes pre-loaded on 9.04. 2) What graphics card are you using?

[20:17] rayne, not yet, let me check [20:17] J_P: The easiest way to find out what you I looking for is just to read the source [20:18] Pici: ahh ok [20:18] rayne, how do I enable them ?

[20:58] is there a way to encrypt a user's home AFTER ubuntu got installed? === jelkner is now known as rpbrooke [20:58] will your home directory be encrypted when your screensaver turns on, if you have the feature enabled? [20:59] MarkG: fetchmail to get the mail, courier-imap to server them up [21:00] cemc do you have a separate /home partition or just a directory? [21:00] I'm having buffer I/O issues with a RAID 5 array. I've independently tested all the disks and they all pass a full media scan, could something else be happening? [21:00] Vinceman: yeah [21:00] Does Dovecot offer any advantages over courier-imap? [21:00] johnT: just a directory [21:00] trism the movie is supposed to last about five minutes, but it goes by without image in a few seconds [21:00] i guess ubuntu-server room is always quiet [21:01] MarkG: actually, now that you mention it, i'm using dovecot, not courier [21:01] can ubuntu mount .daa [21:01] apt-get says it doesn't know ubuntu restricted [21:01] check this : http://blog.gnist.org/article.php?story=EncryptedSwapAndHomeUbuntu - this is a complex but comprehensive guide about enrcrypting home and swap too. But of course there are lots of easier alternatives [21:01] like: re-installing ubuntu with home encryption on, or using another OpenSource utility [21:01] Vinceman: oh are you saying the movie plays, just not well? [21:01] like Truecrypt [21:02] I want the easiest to setup, I spend an age to get dovecot working (its now sorta working). How does sending mail fit into the scheme of things? in a setup like this? [21:02] johnT: is Truecrypt safer then encrypting the home ? [21:02] Vinceman: and the package I was talking about is spelled ubuntu-restricted-extras [21:02] ok [21:03] I suppose what I am not saying, is I will never be opening or sending emails from the Ubuntu system directly, it will always be an intermediary [21:03] trism it's a big package [21:03] cemc, Truecrypt is Safe as it uses AES 256, but truecrypt creates a separate file container [21:03] Truecrypt does not encrypt home directory, [21:03] hey guys, [21:03] I have a question [21:03] it simply offers you strong encryption with ease [21:03] Vinceman: yes it has alot of stuff, many video codecs, and probably other stuff...the restricted codecs are lumped together in a bunch of poorly named packages, so it is hard to tell what has what [21:04] MarkG: if you're not going to send mail from this box then you don't really need to install sendmail, postfix, etc. [21:04] on my VPS (server) I got 2 IPs assigned to me, but i got the 1st one to work but cant get the second one to work.. can you guys help? [21:04] I just did "apt-get update ; apt-get upgrade" on my karmic system, and now X doesn't work anymore ... is that a known issue? Worked fine earlier today [21:04] johnT: ok, I'll look into it, thanks [21:04] but you can't encrypt home directory with truecrypt. this program can create a file container or encrypt a whole partition. [21:04] Vinceman: that's why I initially said just the libquicktime1 package, but you said that wasn't working for you [21:05] johnT: like cryptsetup ? [21:05] trism so I do run the risk a bit of my PC becoming one big chaos :-( [21:05] tobixen, Yes it is :) [21:05] hi, i tried to install madwifi and now my wireless interface is gone (was wlan0 with a ath5k driver) I did not blacklist anything yet [21:05] almost, www.truecrypt.org ;) it is a simple-to-install and to use program, check it [21:05] galtom: so what do I do, wait and hope the issue is resolved until tomorrow? :) [21:05] will your home directory be encrypted when your screensaver turns on, if you have the feature enabled? [21:05] its cross-platform too [21:06] bodly: However I DO want the mails to live in a IMAP "sent" folder. [21:06] Vinceman: you could try installing vlc or mplayer, they use a different set of codecs, and mov should work out of the box in them [21:06] alabama, I never heard about such feature [21:06] so I think I do need to send them via the ubuntu system. I'm not sure how it all connects together tho! [21:06] tobixen, I think yes. I tried to fix, but I can't [21:06] MarkG: i would be surprised if there are not several how-to's out there with step-by-step instructions. [21:06] alabama, when your home is encrypted it will be decrypted on demand only [21:07] alabama, means it is encrypted as long as your screen is locked [21:07] I have looked and not come up with much in the way of howtos, or they are just not the right setup [21:07] !karmic | tobixen [21:07] tobixen: Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 29th, 2009 - Karmic WILL break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [21:07] I thought my requirements here would not be too out of the ordinary.

I mean thank you [21:08] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [21:08] MarkG: basically i pop mail down from a server and serve it out via imap at home, just like you want to. but i send my mail through gmail and sent mail doesn't get saved on my local server. [21:08] MarkG: so i'm not really sure how that would hook in there either. :-) [21:08] net [21:08] :) [21:08] guntbert: of course, known risk. [21:09] alabama, if you have to type your password again to use the computer, yes (and if you enabled the home encryption at all) [21:09] can i upgrade to nautilus 2.4 on hardy? === bluebottle is now known as Guest75231 [21:09] bodly: I thought it was just me being a thicky!!! [21:09] tobixen: yes :-) but please talk about it in #ubuntu+1 only === rpbrooke is now known as jelkner [21:11] MarkG: i guess you would just setup postfix and configure it to use the same maildir that dovecot does [21:11] cowgarden: what kinds of things are *not* encrypted when you enable home directory encryption? [21:11] everything else [21:11] 'ello there. Is there a way to disable tapping for the touchpad? I have tried gsynaptic and one other GUI, both say they want a line added to the xorg.conf, but is there a easier way to turn of the tapping? [21:11] markg: then have postfix forward to the server you pop mail from [21:11] hi, please how can i move in text mode? mouse wheel won't work [21:12] pag up pag down [21:12] obiwan_: you mean scrollback? [21:12] yeah [21:12] alabama, everything appart from /home/ and in home are: you docs, the desktop and program settings. programms temp and the whole system are outside of it [21:12] scrollback hehe [21:12] are postfix and sendmail similar applications? Do they serve the same general purpose? [21:12] obiwan_: Shift-PgUp/PgDown [21:12] i don't have page down johnT :( [21:12] delly: look at xinput [21:12] 2011 is the next LTS release? [21:12] don't have page down :( [21:12] any Ideas about my missing wifi interface? [21:12] lol don't have pgdown?:D [21:12] Is synaptic opensource? [21:12] it's $200 netbook xP [21:12] lol [21:12] trism, the installation says it's saving stuff to blabla.exe.. but I thought exe files don't work in linus [21:12] Khisanth, 4 shure [21:12] you made my day [21:12] khufu: the synaptic package manager? [21:13] Yes [21:13] Vinceman: it is probably just extracting codecs [21:13] sry Khisanth [21:13] khufu: yes [21:13] bgamari: anything more spesifix? Xinput is quite huge, or do i have to look trough the entire mess? [21:13] And whyis it named just like the Mouse manager under windows+ [21:13] ? [21:13] nice it has, it works with Fn key didn't know [21:13] MarkG: yes, there are quite a few mail transfer agents (MTAs) [21:13] delly: sorry, the xinput utility [21:13] i've learned two things :) [21:13] obiwan_: depends on what you're using, if you're in irssi and you want to scrollback, and you don't have pgup/down like me you can hit ESC then p to go back and ESC then n to go forward [21:14] trism, this is really heavy (wo)man... [21:14] :D obiwan, even the crappiest netbook can't miss keys [21:14] what is a multi sector image? [21:14] delly: xorg comes with a command line utility for interacting with the xinput subsystem [21:14] I don't like this synaptic [21:14] delly: If your xorg is new enough tapping is exposed as an input property [21:14] Does debian ship with it? [21:14] or only ubuntu [21:14] hi people. Quick stupid question: is it safe to uninstall old linux kernel header packages? apart from compiling stuff they should be unneeded, I think? [21:14] bgamari: ok, where am i suppose to look for figuring it out? [21:15] and hirzontal scrolling? [21:15] khufu you can install another package manager if you want [21:15] khufu: I don't believe it's in the default debian installation [21:15] delly: man xinput [21:15] so I need fetchmail to collect POP3 mail from the remote ISP deliver it to my ubuntu mailbox, then dovecot to serve it up, and I need sendmail to send it out again to my ISP's SMTP server. Is that the nuts of it? [21:15] just as you install any other application [21:15] been fighting upgrades on jaunty today.. short story is I lost my kernels and rebooted on accident -- wanting to install new kernel on mounted partition.... how would I go about doing that? [21:15] MarkG: yup, that should do it. [21:15] my screen has only 9 inches and lines don't break, they go beyond the screen [21:15] i need to scroll right anyway :S [21:15] i am kind of getting back into linux the last verion that i used was redhat ether 6.1 or 7 and sthen went to the service is their anyone who has any suggestins for ome decent tools and does the x interface still exist? [21:15] Vinceman: oh wait, are you installing the restricted-extras? the exe files are fonts, it is installing the mscorefonts [21:15] feydr: do you have a livecd? [21:15] feydr: chroot [21:15] obiwan, are you serious? :) [21:16] yeah haha this piece of ... computer my mother bought haha [21:16] danbhfive: yep [21:16] trism, when I run the mov it does scroll along the bar for a few seconds [21:16] what happened to the tor package? it's nowhere in ubuntu [21:16] trism but I see and hear nothing [21:16] HANC: if you are used to redhat you might want to try Fedora too. On the other hand Ubuntu is friendlier to the casual user [21:16] bgamari: I figured... so I just need to maybe chroot /media/disk/ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade or something?? [21:16] how can i move right? shift + home and shift + end which are to left and right of av page and re page won't work [21:16] sorry obiwan, I can't help you :) [21:16] feydr: yeah, perhaps explicitly install linux-image or something as well [21:17] bgamari: Ok, i found the touchpad on the list command. But that is not really helping, what am i suppose to do? [21:17] feydr: follow this to chroot, then install linux-generic [21:17] it is a very rare issue [21:17] cha0s: DO I LOOK LIKE A BITCH TO YOU? [21:17] Vinceman: it may just be a video that doesn't work on linux, I've run into a few, although mplayer will play almost anything thrown at it [21:17] cha0s: DO I LOOK LIKE A BITCH TO YOU? [21:17] feydr: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCdRecovery#Update%20Failure === MK-ubuntu is now known as MK-BB [21:17] mikey moderate yourself [21:17] ok no problem johnT :) [21:17] Man [21:17] Ubuntu really lowered the rib eh [21:17] obiwan_: I've never heard of horizonal scrolling in a tty [21:17] mplayer is not movieplayer [21:17] trism? [21:18] khufu: ? === kogepathic is now known as IceWewe [21:18] please does anybody know how to scroll right in real text mode? (not terminal). Lines don't break, they go beyond the screen and i can't read them. How can i scroll right? [21:18] delly: you want the set-prop command [21:18] !mplayer | Vinceman [21:18] Vinceman: mplayer is a media player. It resides in the mutiverse repository and can easily be installed via applications -> add/remove. For codecs try !codecs [21:18] obiwan_: what terminal are you using ? [21:18] khufu: tor has their own repo to add, look through their site. [21:18] obiwan_: are you on a framebuffer console? [21:18] obiwan_: and what do you mean by "real text mode" [21:18] anyone know which package i need to install to get the smbmount command? [21:18] bgamari, that's cause usually screens are bigger than the usual tty wide format, but this is smaller haha [21:19] roygbiv: smb-client [21:19] i mean im in ctrl alt f1, it's not terminal emulation [21:19] nice! thank you ikonia [21:19] obiwan_: are you on a framebuffer though? [21:19] trism, I get: Failed to open LIRC support. [21:19] obiwan_: or standard vga text mode? [21:19] cowgarden: do you know where I could find a list of what important things are *not* encrypted when you encrypt the home directory? [21:20] don't know what's a framebuffer exactly, i know it's kind of file where you say what graphic goes on each pixel , but don't know how to tell if i'm in framebuffer or not [21:20] Hello everyone.. what is ubuntu's equivalent to gentoo's /etc/conf.d/local.start script? [21:20] Vinceman: http://blog.timc3.com/2009/02/10/mplayer-disable-lirc/ [21:20] obiwan_: lsmod [21:20] /etc/init.d/ command start [21:20] bgamari: i found set-int-prop, xinput manual incomplete? [21:20] or service command start [21:20] delly: set-int-prop would work as well [21:21] delly: I just have a newer version of xinput [21:21] ok bgmari, what should i look for? [21:21] obiwan_: fbcon [21:21] ok brb plz w8 [21:21] fbcon 46112 0 [21:21] is that? [21:22] bgamari: "Sets an integer property for the device. Appropriate values for format are 8, 16, or 32, depending on the property." now it don't make sense, if i am suppose to set a value, then how do i figur out what controls the tapping behaviour? [21:22] alabama, all impoerant stuff should be encrypted appart from the tmp and tools like truecrypt which could be modified secretly by a third [21:23] delly: I'd help you more if I could, unfortunately my karmic machine is broken at the moment [21:23] How big is it recommended to have /boot ? [21:24] I'm trying to add a user, but I don't understand what the groups are. Also, shouldn't I be able to put a user in more than one group? [21:24] little [21:24] 96MB [21:24] delly: look at the output of list-props on the device [21:24] delly: you should see something concerning tapping [21:24] yeah lord_daemon [21:24] lordmetroid: I usually do 128MB [21:24] sry lormetroid [21:24] bgamari: Ok, thanks. I think i should be able to do the rest myself now :P [21:24] sry , i mean Mike_lifeguard [21:24] cowgarden: what? [21:24] SHould I make /boot as first partition in the beginning of the disk? [21:24] Mike_lifeguard, useradd -m user -G more groups [21:24] obiwan_: are you sure you mean me? [21:25] I opened my Home folder from the Places menu. Clicked on another folder and it crashed. Now there are no icons on my desktop and clicking on Panel lists/items etc doesn't get a response. Can I do anything other than restart? [21:25] yeah you and only you hehe [21:25] lordmetroid, yeah sure [21:25] I mean, the file browser window crashed. not the whole computer. [21:25] obiwan_: sure, but shouldn't the gui utility do that too? O-o (also there is no explanation of what the groups mean) [21:25] lordmetroid, it helps [21:25] delly: the property name you are looking for it Synaptics Tap Action [21:25] of course [21:25] delly: Look in the synaptics manpage for more [21:25] PL [21:25] i always love terminal mode [21:25] but there's a gui way [21:25] alabama, there is no list, but someone could modifie your programs without your knowledge. for full encryption take the alternate installer and reinstall ubunu fully encrypted [21:25] user-manager i think it's called [21:26] obiwan_: I know. I have it open, and I'm finding it deficient :) [21:26] ja przełączyć sie na polski? [21:26] hi there, i have a problem.. i installed a game and then my system crashes (kernel oops), and when i try to login now my mouse and keyboard is not working (in X) [21:26] 9.04 [21:26] cowgarden: modify my programs? [21:26] can someone help me plz? how can i boot without X? [21:26] and what could be the problem? [21:26] trism, great I don't get that message anymore but yet still it doesn't work.. it says "Exiting (End of file)" [21:26] Mike_lifeguard, then don't know anything better :( [21:26] tete: Ctrl-Alt-F1 [21:26] actually, the power button in the top corner is unresponsive as well. So I don't know how to restart now either. [21:27] trism I chmod 777ed the mov file too which was 644 [21:27] tete that will bring you to the console [21:27] alabama, just in case someone sneaks to you computer and boots from an usb stick he could modifie programs.... and your encryption does not protect you against that [21:27] bgamari, is not working because as soon as X starts the mouse and keyboard is not working so ctrl+alt+f1 cant do it [21:27] Vinceman: you shouldn't need to change the permissions, 644 is correct [21:27] cowgarden: how could the programs be modified? [21:27] tete: then boot into rescue mode === bodly is now known as bodlyZZZZZ [21:27] bgamari, what should i do? i have fbcon 4612 0 [21:27] hi there [21:27] PL [21:28] PL [21:28] obiwan_: hmm [21:28] and what should i do then? ^^ [21:28] alabama, like any data [21:28] obiwan_: that's a good question [21:28] i ditched gnome and kde for good, but i'd like to still have a popup execute command prompt that i can bind to a compiz command keyboard shortcut. anyone know of a good package? [21:28] !pl | miv [21:28] miv: Na tym kanale używamy tylko języka angielskiego. Możesz uzyskać pomoc w języku polskim na #ubuntu-pl. [21:28] tete: presumably revert whatever change you did to cause the machine to crash [21:28] dpkg-reconfigure xorg is not working [21:28] cowgarden: like putting a backdoor in them? [21:28] obiwan_: perhaps disable fbcon [21:28] alabama, yes [21:28] Vinceman: you may just be out of luck with that particular movie file [21:28] noooooooooooooooooooooO [21:28] bgamari, i just installed a game... ok then i'll try this but i have no idea why the mouse/keyboard is not responding [21:29] obiwan_: might want to look into fbset [21:29] and i think the problem is somewhere else [21:29] having a problem with google images for some reason the thumnails wont show up, ive cleared the browser cache but stil nothing [21:29] ok but what if i disable fbcon will that break my console? [21:29] tete: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [21:29] ok ill try it [21:29] can anyone please tell me how to create a virtual dvd DL filesystem, that I can with any burner sotf [21:29] obiwan_: shouldn't. it should just use standard text mode vga instead [21:29] #pl [21:29] pixlbox: is your internet connection okay? [21:29] i don'ti do'nt have fbset bgamari [21:30] cowgarden: how do you get it to encrypt the entire system upon screen-lock? [21:30] #ubuntu.pl [21:30] miv: /join #ubuntu-pl [21:30] yeah its about 4 meg download [21:30] Ah, ok, ctrl-alt-f1 got me sorted. thanks guys. [21:30] Where are sudo attempts logged? [21:30] pixlbox: is this only with that one browser (firefox i presume) [21:30] #ubuntu-pl. [21:30] yeah [21:30] bgamari, i get WARNING: ALl config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/oss-compat, it will be ignored in a future release. [21:30] Mike_lifeguard: /var/log/auth.log [21:31] thx [21:31] #ubuntu-pl. [21:31] nice erUSUL didn't know about it [21:31] aha-widzę [21:31] obiwan_: :) [21:31] obiwan_: looks pretty harmless' [21:31] alabama, for full encryption take the alternate installer and reinstall ubunu fully encrypted, it has an option for that [21:31] ? can anyone please tell me how to create a virtual dvd DL filesystem, that I can with any burner sotf . [21:31] thank you [21:32] ok bgamari, so what now? that messages was given after modprobing -r fbcon [21:32] no_one: "virtual dvd DL filesystem" ?? [21:32] lol [21:32] hello, i need to change the order in which certain modules are loaded so that one is loaded before the other, if i change the order of the lines in the /lib/modules/2.6.28-15-generic/modules.dep file is that all i need to do? [21:32] yes [21:32] cowgarden: I'm aware of that but how do you get it to encrypt the *entire* system upon screen-lock? [21:32] pixlbox: have you tried any other browser (ie. chromium, opera, etc.)? (btw, it makes it easier if you tag your lines here with the username of the person ur talking to... ie. jus type in ad , and then hit tab) [21:32] Ok, can anybody explain why the synaptics(note the S) manpage is dated? It lacks information on MANY of the capabilities that is listed by xinput. [21:32] no_one: can you elaborate ? DL== double layer? [21:33] alabama: you'd be waiting a whle [21:33] while* [21:33] pixlbox: or in my case.. adal and then tab [21:33] alabama, but seriously, id it cp or nuclear weapons? /home/ or full encryption, it will be stil the easiest to look at the password you are typing or get it by the noise of the keys or anything [21:33] adalal: yeah ive tried both them browsers but when it comes to google images none of the thumnails load [21:33] alabama, nothing is decrypted until it is used, so a locked screen locks all data too. [21:34] obiwan_: I'm not sure disabling fbcon is the best way out [21:34] obiwan_: as I said, look into fbset [21:34] How can I redirect matches in Irssi like "/lastlog perl -f ~/file_perl_discussion"? [21:34] hi .. I am trying to upgrade to karmic and it says "Failure" because I have installed unsupported packages .. where can I get a list of the packages which are causing this problem ? [21:34] right... hmm.. are all the other pictures loading fine? [21:34] well there are soft for other os's that emulate a virtual dvd witch can use to copy data into and when we want we simply make a copy of the virtual fs to phisical dvd [21:34] !karmic | duryodhan DON'T [21:34] duryodhan DON'T: Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 29th, 2009 - Karmic WILL break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [21:35] obiwan_: if you still do want to disable fbcon, then you need to add it to the modules blacklist [21:35] erUSUL, well there are soft for other os's that emulate a virtual dvd witch can use to copy data into and when we want we simply make a copy of the virtual fs to phisical dvd [21:35] adalal: yeah in other sites and stuff, pictures load up perfect, in google images the thumnails just arnt loading, it's weird [21:35] guntbert: but I want to :) .. I need all the newer gnome libs and its a pain to compile each one by one [21:35] duryodhan: Karmic is very, very, very broken right now. Wait. For the love of God, wait. [21:35] duryodhan: It's broken. Very broken. Broken to the extent that it is useless. If you upgrade now, you might not be able to even boot your system. [21:35] no_one: i do not know of anything simlar for linux [21:36] MenZa: wow .. I never saw anything like that online [21:36] erUSUL, ok tnaks [21:36] hi, I did a complete backup with remastersys; in the end, I got the message that there was too much data for an .iso file. Is the folder that remastersys created a valid backup or do I have to remove some stuff and do it over again? thank [21:36] pixlbox: that is weird, maybe it's to do with your local google server, try searching with google.co.in, or google.co.uk instead, and see if things improve [21:36] duryodhan: It's only just now, today. [21:36] duryodhan: listen a few minutes to the crying and whing in #ubuntu#1 right now - and you'll reconsider [21:36] MenZa: Maybe I can get the iso and install it beside my current system ? [21:36] duryodhan: If you're still interested, I suggest monitoring #ubuntu+1 and see when it's fixed. [21:36] erUSUL, ok thanks. I've found ways to do that, but only regular 4.7 Gb dvd [21:37] adalal strange thing is it seems to be just my pc other computers in the house are working fine [21:37] oh.. [21:37] MenZa: cool thanks .. but can I like get the alpha 5 DVD and install it on the side of current ubuntu install ? [21:37] pixlbox: some sort of issue with caching :S.. u said u cleared your caches? [21:37] duryodhan: Sure. But I strongly suggest not running any upgrades on it. [21:37] For now, that is. [21:37] MenZa: ohh ok .. thanks ! thanks for the warning guys [21:37] adalal: yep , several times in all browsers [21:38] How do I have a user automatically login on start up? [21:39] tdn: what version of ubuntu? [21:39] pixlbox: do you have any parental controls setup? or something to do with your dns server? [21:39] could someone explain to me why the hell openssh-server is not in the repositories? [21:39] tdn: System/Administration/Login Screen [21:39] and why the nl.archive.ubuntu.com is not working [21:40] duryodhan: for experiments use a virtual machine [21:40] cause it's ridiculous that it just won't work [21:40] tdn: on the Security tab [21:40] Hi, is there a way to disable ipv6 w/o having to reboot. I read some posts on the internet, and all said i should reboot [21:40] adalal: no, :S ill have a mess around with network settings and the router hopefully that will sort it [21:40] cheers [21:40] i am using jaunty [21:40] twisted`: looks to be working to me [21:40] pixlbox: try using a different internet dns server [21:41] hemant: you'll need to reboot [21:41] or better still is there a way to speed up internet w/o disabling ipv6? [21:41] hemant: get a faster connection ? [21:41] hemant: if you're seeing that slow a connection, I doubt it's ipv6 [21:42] ikonia: yeah, with the same internet and other OS (same computer) internet works super fast, but its just with ubuntu [21:42] hemant, you can change the way browsers pull different objects and render the page === velo__ is now known as velo [21:42] It might just be because Windows is a slow O/S?

[21:51] velo__: your networking is probably disabled... tried 'sudo service networking start' and 'sudo service NetworkManager start' [21:51] TheCheeze: enlightenment, alternative window manager [21:51] velo__: and do you see any wireless networks? [21:51] VCoolio, think you might be able to help me with some issues i am having with it?

[21:54] velo__: seems like something's wrong with your router, it's not accepting connections from your computer, does it have access to certain MAC addresses only?

[21:56] trism, where's your sense of 'not giving up'? [21:56] VCoolio, i have tried with both .7.4 and .7.0 [21:56] TheCheeze: no, I mean the dependency that causes trouble [21:56] ikonia: have you written something? i was disconnected [21:56] Vinceman: well the thing is, in general, if mplayer won't play something, nothing on linux will, so I usually either don't bother or switch to windows to play the file [21:56] velo: nope [21:56] ah, lemme pop it open again so i can read it to ya [21:57] Hi everyone === david is now known as Guest41537 [21:57] Needed some help installing ubuntu server via VirtulBox [21:57] anyone here use gyachi?

[22:08] hi, got a silly newbie problem. I added a user from the commandline with useradd -d /home/user -m user when I log on, I get no bash prompt. How can I get it back? [22:08] hi [22:08] Sp0tter ok thanks I'll do that right now [22:08] jiohdi: right click on the ubuntu icon -> edit menu [22:08] np, it will work fine [22:08] MarkG: sudo adduser [22:08] MarkG: use adduser, not useradd. Delete your user and recreate it [22:08] alright, i've sen it asked 100 times and stil cnt remember.. how do i check the status of my fans? [22:09] MarkG: -d would be /home/ not /home/user, but yes, use adduser not useradd [22:09] Can Linux people make things any more complex? [22:09] MarkG: put in the password and fill in the account details [22:09] Trijntje: sounds like you're using gnome, you really don't want to use conky in the root window in that case [22:09] MarkG: well you only need to set up a password for them [22:09] sometimes it's a facepalm moment, that surely is one of them. [22:09] gartral: sensors sudo apt-get install sensors [22:09] Thank You iceroot [22:09] jrib, I am running xfce no ubuntu icon to click on [22:09] Trijntje: you should give it it's own window [22:09] MarkG: ? the man page of useradd says in its first line « useradd is a low level utility for adding users. On Debian, administrators should usually use adduser(8) instead. » [22:10] MarkG: do not find it complex. [22:10] Sp0tter how much do I put for the RAM? [22:10] jiohdi: try #xubuntu, or try running alacarte or gnome-menu-editor from the terminal I guess [22:10] kferdous: depending on what you want to do with the server [22:10] hardly intuitive two similar utilities thou is it... [22:10] jrib, thanks :) [22:10] kferdous: normaly 512mb is enough [22:10] Trijntje: see question 3 of the faq http://conky.sourceforge.net/faq.html [22:11] i am sending one email using my pc, i have installed and configure postfix, but it is sending local ip not public ip could someone help me , i will appreciate any help [22:11] iceroot for VBox [22:11] 384 is default on it. [22:11] MarkG: on is meant to be usaed from scripts (useradd ) the other is the one meant to be used by humans [22:11] kferdous: as i said, 512mb is enough for ubuntu-server [22:11] ok [22:11] and that affects me how? [22:12] MarkG: just FYI. [22:12] Is 8GB enough? Or do I need more? [22:12] should i boot in single user mode to check secondary hard drive or can i run the check without logging out ?

With double_buffer yes icons get lost, without it conky flickers [22:13] jrib, erUSUL, thanks, just as i thought, should i use command line tools or can i do it with gparted ? does gparted give verbose data of the check ?

[22:37] trism ,find: invalid predicate `-libqt4-dbus' [22:37] mimiloon: not using activex.... what is it you need it for? [22:38] trism , how can i solve that? [22:38] yassine_: tell us what you are trying to do so we can help you :) [22:38] yassine_: you'll need to quote the string if you want the dash at the beginning [22:38] yassine_: find / -name "-libqt4-dbus" -print [22:39] jrib: i got a school assignment for me to use a website and it requires me to have active x installed; i don't have windows installed [22:40] how do i make jaunty stop overheating and shutting down my latop? this is very annoying [22:40] mimiloon: your best bet is probably to try installing internet explorer in wine, #winehq can help you with that. Alternatively, use a virtualizer (like virtualbox for example) to install windows inside your ubuntu [22:40] Glaxyyxy: you can do a for FILE in *.something; do sed -e "s/your_expression/new_expression/g" $FILE > $FILE.edited; done [22:40] Glaxyyxy: you'll need to mv them back to the correct files if you want to overwrite them, I usually like to check that I did it right first though [22:40] mimiloon: what's the web site? [22:40] huh? [22:41] dude, all I need is to make line 3 = 'something' [22:41] how do I do that :P [22:41] aethelrick: myitlab.com [22:41] Glaxyyxy: what's wrong with what you said? [22:41] i guys [22:41] how do I check my computer hardware info [22:41] trism: -i will edit the file in place if you don't give it a parameter [22:41] jrib: damn, i'll give it a shot [22:42] TheCheeze: Does other Linux tastes olso overhead your laptop? [22:42] jrib: yeah I'm always wary of doing that though, like to check that the files look ok first [22:42] jrib: thanks for your suggestion [22:42] trism: very true [22:42] never tried hahahan [22:42] hello [22:42] Glaxyyxy: sorry I misunderstood, I thought you already had the sed expression, you just wanted to run it on multiple files [22:42] trism,find: /home/yassine/.gvfs: Permission denied [22:42] it seems to happen under load, example while i was just compiling something [22:42] trism, why? [22:42] TheCheeze: Then do it. [22:42] mimiloon: damn... I just read the requirements on the site... your going to need to go the VM route for this puppy [22:42] trism: -ifoo makes backups though :) [22:43] yassine_: don't mind the permission denied stuff, it just means you're searching in places you don't have permission to access [22:43] eltume: hwinfo, lspci, lshw... [22:43] does anybody here have the same problem i got with movie player being muted [22:43] jrib: nice, I'll have to try that next time [22:43] i cant hear the movies i wanna watch [22:43] mimiloon: they recommend IE8 :S [22:43] trism, i use the root privilage [22:43] yassine_: you still may get a few even as root [22:43] would it help to upgrade to the ubuntu 10? [22:44] TheCheeze: depending on cpu, there are ways to downclock it, though less perfomance then [22:44] err... 9.10 [22:44] trism, how can i slove that pls? [22:44] god [22:44] you guys are like, insane [22:44] is there any advantage between using an ssh tunnel for http rather than just using vpn?

[22:47] Glaxyyxy: and the /g isn't really needed since ^ will only match once [22:47] a [22:47] I've added a dns to the interfaces file [22:47] komputes: a file ? [22:47] but for some reason it doesn't work >_> [22:48] Hello! I'm having a problem with smplayer and nvidia. I have nvidia 185.18.36 and mplayer with vdpau. If I play a video in fullscreen whenever I go to the bottom to show the smplayer toolbar the screen flickers. Also when the toolbar disappears the screen flickers. Even when I turn the volume down with the multimedia keys. Does anyone else experience this? [22:48] mimiloon: you're welcome... for a happy and easy VM experience give virtual box a go :) [22:48] aethelrick: i'll do that [22:48] DasEi: I need to know how many blocks 1GB takes, this is because user quotas takes blocks and not MB/GB. I do not need to convert a file, i need to conver a number. GB -> Blocks [22:49] note: (flicker = desktop background appears intermittently with the video) [22:49] does anyone know an easy way to see whether im using radeon or radeonhd? [22:49] if i have both installed [22:49] i installed 9.04 on my Amd with Nvdia G70 graphic card, the screen sometimes freezes while trying to start the graphical mode, it was working fine in 8.04, any suggestions?

[22:55] trism: I need a block -> GB and GB -> block converter [22:55] DasEi: user quotas [22:56] komputes: so a config, that won't show graphically, to verify you can again test on fdisk -l, though you then only verify the validation of your found factor [22:57] atm opera doesn't display any pdf files. can I tell it to use evince?

[23:07] nexes: the next one gets a later kernel by default [23:07] no i need a program that works fro ubuntu that can burn an iso to usb [23:07] nexes, new != better [23:08] nexes: you can have a later kernel now, but not much point, unless you have some valid reason to do that [23:08] nexes: kappa Newer is not always better! [23:08] I bought this program and in the box it said Requirements: Windows 2000 or better, so i installed linux, but its not working....

Somehow, no matter the locale, no matter the language pack, first start of Firefox is always in en-US language, and user has to go to about:config and fix it manually. Is it the same situation in Ubuntu? [23:10] i think [23:10] nexes: you don't need a seperate /boot when doing Ext4 in Ubuntu [23:10] ubuntistas, no: firefox -ProfileManager [23:10] ls [23:10] guys @ irc.mozilla.org have no clue. [23:10] nexes: by default everything goes into / in Ubuntu, and having a seperate /home can be useful [23:11] i had to set it up like that when installing fedora 11, it needs one, and i just kept that partition setup when installing ubuntu [23:11] nexes: obviously swap is seperate [23:11] Crazycheese: that is odd, I have no problems switching between en and ja locales with firefox [23:11] is there any known problems with dd-wrt and ubuntu?

[23:12] have you tried to adjust the screen layout via the monitor? [23:12] Are there any public DNS resolves I could use?

Ubuntu is my alternative distro as well! The question is not ubuntu or arch related, its pure firefox. [23:22] didn't mean to spam the group [23:22] does anyone know how to fix that? [23:22] alsuren, *laughing* ok [23:22] geekgerl: you didn't spam/food :D [23:22] or am i asking in the wrong channel? [23:22] enriaf, I just said I dont have a CD, there is just a HD on board and for info : USB boot wont work, my motherboard does not allow it [23:22] Crazycheese: I am not sure you can try irc.mozilla.org #firefox or ##linux or #firefox on this network [23:23] geekgerl: flood not food :D [23:23] For some reason opensuse 11.1 fits my screen (but sucks compared to ubuntu in every other respect), and fedora 11 has the same screen shifted to left issue if that helps at all [23:23] DasEi: yeah, looking up the alternate [23:23] Crazycheese: since it seems both distros are doing it you should probably go report it to the firefox guys [23:23] Hi all [23:23] looks complicated [23:23] sebsebseb: Guys @ irc.mozilla.org have NO clue.... [23:23] ok i have gyachi voice chat working it seems but i have to choose a server. how do i know which one? there's lots of them [23:23] Crazycheese: try ##linux then [23:23] AutoMatrix now I understand what you mean [23:23] Crazycheese: I mean like on the firefox bugzilla [23:23] i think ill try the usbcreater type thing [23:23] enriaf, sorry, english is not my native tongue [23:23] sebsebseb: trism: thanks guys, Im on it. [23:24] AutoMatrix as me :D I am thinking in a solution [23:24] Anybody have any ideas? [23:24] JustinA: next to the textinstaller, you can also choose expertmode in where special install options, like grub on usb etc. can be taken [23:24] AutoMatrix but it is difficult why don't you try to find out a cd reader? [23:24] hello everybody === AkumaTw0 is now known as Akuma [23:25] i have a problem with my wifi card [23:25] enriaf, basicaly it would be nice that grub booted the system from a live iso-file which is on the harddisk [23:25] hi guys, what is the recommended IRC client for gnome? [23:25] XChat [23:25] x-chat [23:25] TrentonAdams, Xchat [23:25] I think it's pidgin, but I'm a newb [23:25] xchat [23:25] I'm going to be different and say irssi [23:25] why xchat what is the different betwen pidgin? [23:26] Pidgin is bad as an IRC Client [23:26] @DasEi: So once I successfully get the live-CD booting from the USB drive, how do I install from the USB Drive to the hard drive? [23:26] kikbguy, check which versions of Xorg are being used and which drivers, oss or restricted. going from nvidia to nv in ubuntu does this for me. [23:26] Isn't there an fstab flag to keep it from freezing on boot if an NFS share is not available? [23:26] geekgerl: hmm [23:26] back [23:26] Installing xchat-gnome now, we'll see. I'm using pidgin at the moment. [23:26] geekgerl: Your issue isn't distro specific right? === dimitris is now known as ubuntistas [23:27] sebsebseb: not that i know of [23:27] JustinA: ?? you want to install to the harddrive ?? not to the usb ? [23:27] do you know how I could go from nvidia to nv/open up restricted drivers from the 9.04 live cd? [23:27] TrentonAdams, Xchat is different than xhat-gnome === theGussi is now known as Gussi [23:27] they are identical [23:27] sebsebseb: i only have 9.04 ubuntu boxes right now, so i don't have another distro to test on [23:27] TrentonAdams, and pigdin, is OK but it is more for instant messagers [23:27] stupid question i know, but what version of firefox are you guys on? [23:27] ok i have gyachi voice chat working it seems but i have to choose a server. how do i know which one? there's lots of them [23:28] AutoMatrix this this can be usefull http://is.gd/3jxbO [23:28] I'm trying to get an Ubuntu desktop machine printing to a shared Samsung ML-2010 printer on a XP machine. The driver for the printer is in the database, but I get an access denied error. What am I doing wrong? [23:28] kikbguy, does the live cd have the hardware drivers gui? [23:28] geekgerl: yeah I don't think it is, which means you could ask in ##linux [23:28] yes [23:28] @DasEi - Yes, I have a new nettop with a HD, but no CD drive, so I just want to get the installer on the USB so I can install to the HD [23:28] geekgerl: well even Ubuntu stuff could be asked in there, but really this is the channal for that [23:28] Okay, xchat is installed, I'll see if I like it. [23:28] sebsebseb: ok, thanks, i'll try there! [23:28] !install | JustinA [23:28] JustinA: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install?

Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate [23:28] genobreaker, pm plz? [23:28] kikbguy, you could try that, but the setting won't survive a reboot. [23:29] does anybody have a bcm4322 wifi card? [23:29] enriaf, thanks so much to you and google, you are bot a kind of a pair :D [23:29] aptitude or apt-get? [23:29] is there a "release renew" command for terminal? [23:29] xchat and xchat gnome are identical [23:29] eyeron: they are not [23:29] Hello [23:29] geekgerl: I even asked some IRC friends of mine if they could help you, but I guess not [23:30] geekgerl: good luck, altough I am not even sure what your trying to do exactly [23:30] enriaf, seems like a network-boot to me but we'll see ;), thanks, dear [23:30] durt, right, and I can't download the hardware drivers for the livecd because it won't survive a reboot and can't install ubuntu because the screen is still shifted 1/4 to the left in the installation procedure. I'm definetly in a pickle [23:30] i'm having a litle problem with the wireless....ubuntu recognize the network, but wont connect WPA [23:30] komputes: erm, easy link, erm, no for sure you can get disk info either by hdparm or smartctl, maybe even hal-specific cmds or hwinfo, then turn this against the size and so have the factor, but as this is different from every drive, there will be no general site for that [23:30] only connects with unsecured network [23:30] i deleted a lot of valuable files off of a portable device that i had and now i can not get them back as they were deleted permanently is there any way to get back my files? [23:30] AutoMatrix I don't understand what you meant [23:31] what other irc client is there other than xchat-gnome? for some reason i like more kvirc or mirc in windowsland [23:31] hey guys. i am trying to get flexbuilder 3 running, and i finally got eclipse 3.5 up and going, but now I need to have a 32 bit JRE running, and I can't figure it out. i have the 64 bit running ATM, apparently [23:31] sebsebseb: thanks for all the suggestions. i'm trying to get a network-based remote setup for mythtv. long story. i'll check out #linux and #mythtv to see if if anyone knows there. thank you! [23:31] geekgerl: ok no problem :) [23:31] Neaai: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat === sjefen6_ is now known as sjefen6 [23:31] enriaf, no problem, you set me in the right direction, thats more than OK :D [23:31] AutoMatrix if you have other pcs is the better option and easiest I think [23:32] kikbguy, an autoimage ajust on your monitor won't help? [23:32] *adjust [23:32] Neaai: my pick is irssi, but that's just me [23:32] alllllllllow [23:32] My monitor does not have that option, it is a 42" lcd tv [23:32] can someone screenshot there /etc/network/interface file for me? [23:32] gdoteof, I am working on your question [23:32] trism: i will have a check. thanks for the link [23:32] johnT, thanks. me too :) [23:33] garv: two lines: 1) auto lo 2) iface lo inet loopback [23:33] johnT, i found instructions pretty explicitly here, http://java.dzone.com/tips/32-bit-jdk-a-64-bit-ubuntu-sys but they didn't work [23:33] theres no entry for eth0 at all? [23:33] kikbguy, text mode install? [23:33] gdoteof, have you already tried to download the 32bit java package from the sun official site? [23:34] garv: if you did not add one no. no by default [23:34] I really need to desactivate, or at last reduce the sensibility, of my touchpad. I have a dell laptop and it is so sensible that my text cursor jump when I write, making the process of writing very hard. [23:34] JustinA:telling the whole story brings us back to the beginning then, you got to make the stick bootable, which then is a question for a mac channel, or setup an ubuntu environment; does the new nettop has any os it yet ? [23:34] johnT, no I haven't. i have the 64 bit running, I don't even know how to stop it really :/. [23:34] johnT, i will download them [23:34] ive tried two routers, and neither of them will give me an ip [23:34] garv: ubuntu uses Network Manager by default for managing network interfaces [23:34] durt, that's a good idea, but once it's installed won't I have the same problem with the screen being shifted to the left? [23:34] does anybody have a bcm4322 wifi card? [23:34] i'm having a litle problem with the wireless....ubuntu recognize the network, but wont connect WPA [23:35] only connects with unsecured network [23:35] gdoteof, 64 bits are the future :) don't need to 'stop' them [23:35] me too I have a 64bit version [23:35] garv: you can add an entry for eth0 if you want/prefer to use it over NM [23:35] kikbguy, but then you can setup tv out properly? [23:35] johnT, can they both run simultaneously? [23:35] 32 and 64 bits applications? of course [23:35] Guys, is there any ubuntu livecd release, that has Fx3.5.3 preinstalled for a little test? [23:35] it was just an idea, but i cannot get an ip from a router at all with my nic [23:35] DasEi - No, just a virgin 500GB hard drive... trying to get the install ready on my Hackintosh; I just finished burning the Ubuntu 9.04 CD [23:35] this is getting ridiculous... [23:35] johnT, well can I run a 32bit JRE along side a 64 bit JRE [23:36] durt, i'm not sure what you mean by set up tv out properly (sorry, I'm a beginner/newb or whatever) [23:36] I don't know if it works with JRE's too... [23:36] DasEi - Guess I try booting it on my hackintosh, and see if I can follow the steps to create a bootable stick from in there [23:36] How can I disactivate my touchpad on Ubuntu ? [23:36] but I have a 64bit ubuntu and i normally run 32 bit apps without even noticing [23:36] okay, the 32 bit is installed, johnT. yeah I do as well.. but int his case i am not sure [23:36] ls [23:37] JustinA: hm, as we started now, you'll get a installation on usb, but no installer medium... [23:37] gdoteof, does Ecplise works right now? [23:37] kikbguy, I think your prop is getting tv out working right, which may require adjustments to xorg.conf, but the live cd uses something else to configure Xorg, which I can't remember offhand, anyone? [23:37] Crazycheese: well, firefox-3.5 isn't officially supported in ubuntu yet, I assume it will probably be the default in karmic [23:37] JustinA:further on, as of different hw, next question is will that boot on the nettop ? [23:37] johnT, yes eclipse works fine. it is the flexbuilder that is whining [23:38] !ff35 | trism Crazycheese [23:38] trism Crazycheese: Firefox 3.5 Final is available for Jaunty by installing the package firefox-3.5 and firefox-3.5-gnome-support | FF3.5 is referred to as Shiretoko in your UI, see http://is.gd/1reB3 for an explanation | Hardy & Intrepid: http://is.gd/1jkNY [23:38] DasEi - The nettop (zotac ion/ dualcore atom) will boot USB okay [23:38] gdoteof, whats the exact error reported with Flexbuilder? [23:39] I know it is in the repos, my point is it isn't the default version yet, which is why they are calling it shiretoko instead of firefox [23:39] JustinA:As you did it so far, give it a try and see if nettop boots it, then at least you got a environment from where you (network) can access the cdrom an then install to nettops hd [23:39] Looks like I will have to grab 9.04 live cd and do apt-get install ff35 on live cd. [23:39] 'Start the installer with 32 bit JRE' [23:39] durt, So you think I should edit the xorg.conf. file? Is there some sort of guide to doing that? [23:39] johnT ^^ then some other stuff that basically says it's okay to have a 64 bit os [23:39] What is a "session daemon"? is it different with a daemon? [23:40] DasEi: Okay, thanks for your help... I'll be back later if that doesn't work... [23:40] johnT, i cannot copy paste or even type with the dialog open, it really wants focus, but basically it is saying start it with a 32bit JRE === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [23:41] johnT, so i ran the self extracting 586 jre from http://www.java.com/en/download/linux_manual.jsp?locale=en&host=www.java.com:80 [23:41] johnT, but i am not sure how to 'run' it or tell the 64 bit to be quiet [23:41] is there anyway to see what hardware ubuntu is detecting? [23:41] kikbguy, IIRC xorg.conf is not usable off of the live cd, there is another mechanism is use, I can't remember the name off-hand. [23:41] gdoteof, I am thinking about a simlink [23:41] try to go inside '/usr/bin/java' [23:42] gdoteof, /'usr/lib/java', pardon [23:42] gdot@gdot-ubuntu:/usr/lib/java$ ls [23:42] swt3.2-gtk.jar swt-gtk.jar swt.jar [23:43] how do i use something like `passwd -l` for users with ldap authenticated nfs home directories? [23:43] hello guys, got a strange thing going on with xsane. i can only use my scanner if i gksu xsane, otherwise it gives me an error message that says "failed to open device 'artec_eplus48u:libusb:002:004':invalid argument [23:44] Durt, thanks a bunch for trying to help. it sounds like I have a major incompatability between my hardware and ubuntu, perhaps I should just report the bug to launchpad and hope someone takes pity and fixes it before 9.10 comes out. [23:45] please recommend some good tool to check HDD in ubuntu 8.10. it was in software raid1, there were some problems with the drive, now it's mounted in my desktop and seems to be working, but i want to check it [23:45] kikbguy, excellent idea. [23:45] how guys, does anyone know how to fix the error message : "audio device "surround 51" is already in use"?.. when tryin to select "5,1" from "Audio > Audio device" [23:46] hey guys* [23:46] gdoteof, already tried sudo update-alternatives --config java, don't you? [23:46] gdoteof, the /usr/lib/java directory appears to be good: you have the 32bit swt installed properly [23:47] dennygoot: I don't know if this will help, but it seems to be the same problem https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ArtecEplus48uConf [23:47] johnT http://pastebin.com/d3a047956 [23:48] durt, thanks. I had the same screen shifting to nthe left problem with my 1 year old hp laptop and within a month of reporting it the problem was resolved. Take it easy guys and thanks again for the help - Adam [23:48] anyone know why me usb scanner only works if i am in su mode? xsane dont work, gksu xsane does... it's definetly not the hardware. [23:48] gdoteof, already tried the alternative n° 5? [23:48] yes [23:48] gdoteof, you have the openjdk selected, try the 5) - the java-6-sun proprietary package [23:48] i just did [23:48] gdoteof, didn't solve i guess [23:48] do i need to do anything else, java --version shows 64bit still [23:49] do you need 64 bit jvm? You can try to disinstall it as a workaround [23:49] if your talking about java issues, i had a problem with java 6, had to use synaptic to remove it, then reinstall, dont know if that helps but.. [23:49] can someone link me to a network card that will work out of the box with ubuntu [23:50] garv most cards will work out of the box, just try to get a brand name one [23:50] johnT, i don't think I need it. what package(s) should i be removing here? openjdk-6-jre, default-jre? [23:51] these cards are reoprted to work: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessCardsSupported [23:51] garv what card are you using, mine is the broadcom 4328 and it worked fine out the box [23:51] oops those are wireless [23:51] lol === MK-ubuntu is now known as MK-BB [23:51] garv: is your nic onboard? what's your motherboard or PC model #? [23:51] johnT, removing them all [23:52] gdoteof, remove the proprietary packages too, sun-* [23:52] there is no space for chaos in lniux [23:52] linux [23:52] progress, now it can't find a JVM [23:52] these network cards should work: http://www.fsf.org/resources/hw/net/wired-ethernet [23:52] :O [23:52] gdoteof, ok. re-install the package from sun microsystems site [23:53] the 32 bit one of course [23:53] nic is onboard, mother is asus p5n-d [23:53] Vinceman : Can't say that for sure though [23:53] anyone know why xsane can only use my scanner when i gksu xsane first? [23:53] hi everyone. does anyone know if there is a way to start the gnome vnc server thing, from remote through ssh? my gnome session is running and is logged in, and i got access via ssh, and the vnc port is opened in firewall. just need to start the gnome remote desktop thingy from ssh console. thanks in advance for all help. [23:54] johnT, did. still is not finding the VM.. i am going to add the path that it was installed to into my PATH [23:54] dennygoot " probably because it needs admin powers to be opened [23:54] dennygoot you have to change the permissions for who can use the scanner [23:55] this might help with the vnc ssh thing, dont know, i just had ti bookmarked: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-656129.html [23:55] i'll check it. thanks alot [23:55] i did change the permissions, but it still gives me a weird error like it cant read from the source, which i know is wrong, cause like i said gksu xsane works [23:56] what is the equivalent of Ctrl-C in single user rescue mode? [23:56] dennygoot: nah, that trick is for starting a vnc server that will spawn a new x when logged in. which is not what i need :\ [23:57] garv... which ubuntu release are you using? [23:57] I started a ping and cannot abort it [23:57] hei guys i have installed ME Tv and i have the dvb usb in but the program says: No dvb device installed..... the device is in lsusb.... any suggestion? [23:57] i need access to my allready logged in desktop :\ [23:57] ohh, sorry. don't know then.. [23:57] i have a problem with skype on 7.04 skype: relocation error: skype: symbol snd_device_name_hint, version ALSA_0.9 not defined in file libasound.so.2 with link time reference [23:57] sedated 8.04 [23:57] i'm sure there must be a simple way. [23:57] garv: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/netcfg/+bug/349712 [23:57] technot is as easy as you tunel that port via an ssh session [23:57] that's not the problem enriqueaf [23:57] sedated i was using the lastest but had the same problems, so i went back to 8.04 to see if it would fix it [23:58] ok this is what it says "failed to open device (my artec)" [23:58] johNT, woot. worked. thanks. now it is bitching about a 32 bit eclipse [23:58] technot why not? [23:58] johnT, but i can get that.. thanks! [23:58] ++johnT [23:58] gdoteof, let me know about eclipse [23:58] garv: that bug report says it works in karmic. you could probably pick up any cheap card with a Realtek chip and have no problems [23:58] the problem is that gnome is not setup with vnc enable.. and i need to enable it so i can log on my allready existing gnome session. [23:58] and then also it tosses in an invalid argument afterwards [23:58] tunneling vnc over ssh wont get me anywere near my goal. [23:58] johNT, will do [23:58] yeah just robbed one out of my moms computer works fine [23:58] gdoteof, good ;) [23:58] sucks though i didnt want to have to spend any $$ to get this file server up [23:58] both vnc and ssh ports are opened in firewall, no problem. [23:58] hi, please is thre any command for trace other commands? for example, when i do ls look what system calls ls do? [23:59] obiwan_: strace [23:59] I have a headphone jack on my PC, when I play audio, it plays through headphones, even though I have speakers hooked up. Is there a way I select where the sound goes through software? [23:59] technot: well, vino-server (System/Preferences/Remote Desktop) lets you share the current logged in session, but I don't know if you can start it from the command line [23:59] but i am logged in my computer at home, and i need to log into that specific gnome session [23:59] thx jrib ! [23:59] trism: exactly .. [23:59] :) [23:59] i need to know how to enable it from command line [23:59] hei guys i have installed ME Tv and i have the dvb usb in but the program says: No dvb device installed..... the device is in lsusb.... any suggestion? [23:59] normally you go system->whatnot->remote desktop. and hit "enable" and that's it :p
