[01:06] mgv1, it is in the repos so use aptitude but depending on your wifi card you will need to patch your driver [01:06] bastid_raZor: k [01:07] AbyssV3, yes got something configured to direct to my data disk [01:07] bastid_raZor: it still has the stuff in there do you want me to delete it because i had to copy and paste all of that in there [01:07] ctmjr, yea you make a good point but he would eventually find out anyway. hopefully, he doesn't have a compatible card for airocrack-ng then === j is now known as Guest19755 [01:07] Aijse: If you're using Virtual Hosts, then the site will only work on the ServerName / ServerAlias's you configured, if you access it via IP, it will instead go to the default site [01:08] Xodiac13: yes, completely remove everything in xorg.conf then restart again. at this point you should be using radeon driver and all should be well [01:08] Hi [01:09] Abyss, ah ok thnx I ll check the Servernames [01:09] bastid_raZor: this is a clean install of ubuntu 9.04 [01:09] Aijse: Virtual Hosts are what give you the ability to run multiple websites on the same IP address, so 127.0.0.1 is different from yourwebsite.com which may be different from anotherwebsite.com [01:09] i just installed ubuntu on my laptop and everytime i try to create a wireless connection [01:09] bastid_raZor: if i were to delete and restart it wont give me the drivers i need [01:09] it takes the 8 character pass and changes it to an extremely long pass [01:09] so has anyone gotten splashy to work on jaunty yet? i still run into the lsb-base error :-\ [01:10] that is not correct and will not allow me to join [01:10] bastid_raZor: i am restarting it right now [01:10] Xodiac13: in 9.04 you don't have to use xorg.conf .. it is optional [01:11] BloodAdept, try installing wicd. i find it better than ubuntu's default network manager [01:11] bastid_raZor: im back in the gui [01:11] Xodiac13: after you restart give me the output of: apt-cache policy xserver-xorg-video-radeon [01:11] bastid_raZor: okay [01:11] bastid_raZor: what is the command for that [01:12] bastid_raZor: oops sorry its right there [01:12] can anyone help me set up the wireless network on my computer for ubuntu? [01:12] I lost my PGP Keys for all my sources. Where do I find them? [01:12] or actually more accurate question is join my wireless network on this new computer [01:13] @BloodAdept I am in Florida, I can not join your wireless network even if I wanted to. [01:13] i would, but i cannot get it eddy [01:13] -.- well gee [01:13] bastid_raZor: http://pastebin.com/m434f28f9 [01:14] why don't i just repeat my previous statements [01:14] i just installed ubuntu on my laptop and everytime i try to create a wireless connection [01:14] Xodiac13: also pastebin: apt-cache policy xserver-xorg-video-radeonhd [01:14] it takes the 8 character pass and changes it to an extremely long pass [01:14] that is not correct and will not allow me to join [01:14] bastid_raZor: k [01:14] Xodiac13: actually, just tell me if itgives you similar output [01:14] @BloodAdept I am in Florida, I can not join your wireless network even if I wanted to. does that solve your "comment" [01:15] does Rhythmbox need any plugins to get radio working? When I try to put in a http or mms url I can't play [01:15] Hey guys, I'm having trouble copying files into my ubuntu samba share from a windows laptop. the directory is writable, but I'm getting an "access is denied" error from windows. help! all my musics on there! :) [01:15] Hi everyone!

[01:17] seyfarth: my windows, desktop, i would like to change [01:17] BloodAdept, ravigehlot please stop [01:17] mgv1, i said airocrack-ng is in the repo but you may have to patch your wifi driver [01:17] alright [01:18] seyfarth: i`m using Ubuntu [01:18] i'll stop dealing with that parson [01:18] bastid_raZor: wtf it worked but it seems like its a bit pixellated in a way its hard to say [01:18] mgv1, and it may break your wifi if you don't know what you're doing [01:18] BloodAdept: your using the network-manager? and it is changing the key [01:18] can anyone tell me a setup guide for what Rhythmbox needs to play raido? [01:18] yes ct [01:19] Tatiana: You can change just about anything on the Ubuntu desktop by clicking "System" in the top left corner, and select "Appearance" from the Preferences menu [01:19] Xodiac13: there is nothing else i know to do. 'it works' sounds like a win to me. [01:19] bastid_raZor: i mean it ran nicely but when i look at the ground it sometimes seems like its pixelated [01:19] seyfarth: Ok, thanks [01:19] bastid_raZor: heck yeah thanks man one more question is there a way i can get ccc [01:19] Xodiac13: ccc? [01:19] bastid_raZor: catalyst control center [01:20] mgv1, did you get my message now?

I know cPanel support will not support it being behind NAT however I know someone out there has to have configured a way around it. at least half way working correctly [01:21] wpa tkip encryption [01:21] Xodiac13: fglrx-amdcccle ..install that package [01:21] Hey guys, I'm having trouble copying files into my ubuntu samba share from a windows laptop. the directory is writable, but I'm getting an "access is denied" error from windows. help! all my musics on there! :) [01:21] I add radio stations to Rhythmbox and they won't play can someone help please? I can't find any info online and it seems like it need some plugins... [01:21] bastid_raZor: okay is that the full name of the package [01:22] Xodiac13: yes, but it appears to want to install fglrx driver also. i haven't used it. [01:22] bastid_raZor: will it mess up the 3d === KD7SPO-rodl is now known as KD7SPO-rod [01:25] I have given my laptop a name, but I would like to change that. Where can I do this?

I'm just trying to drag my files into the share from windows. [01:26] Mike||sick: (Assume you have windows): Right click on "My Computer" Go to the Computer Name tab. Click Rename, or something to that effect. [01:26] err [01:26] after you right click on "My computer" [01:26] click on properties [01:26] MrSenator: WTF, this isn't ##windows! [01:26] Oh crap [01:26] Wrong room [01:27] Xodiac13: possibly install that package then uninstall the fglrx driver. [01:27] Haha, apologies.

[01:38] Greetings [01:38] Xodiac13, have you tried fglrx drivers? i have ati x1400 on my machine but the 3d worked on fresh install so i stick to ubuntu's default gfx driver === aleron6 is now known as aleron === aleron is now known as aleron6 [01:38] bastid_raZor: what distro [01:38] eddy: what distro [01:39] Xodiac13, ubuntu jaunty [01:39] whos good with ubuntu 904? [01:39] Im stumped [01:39] Xodiac13, it's worked ever since hardy [01:39] Hey, #Ubuntu. I just dropped 9.04 onto an HP laptop and now the sound is being... weird. Basically, on the login screen, the little bongo sound stutters like a CD skipping and keeps going forever, even after I've logged in. [01:39] Ken47150, just ask your question and someone may answer [01:39] eddy: you mean installing the ati drivers or the opensource [01:39] errr [01:39] this is different === io is now known as Guest10856 [01:40] I cant mount dvds in either of my 2 drives cds mount fine [01:40] my wireless card isn't even turned on appearently [01:40] eddy: cause ive tried in earlier versions to use the hardware devices and enable it and the screen starts messing up into garbage [01:40] Keaton, open the volume control and raise all the bars, especially PCM === agentorange is now known as rgg [01:41] Xodiac13, well i never quite looked into it because why bother fixing something that works, but i believe ubuntu still uses the opensource for ati cards by default [01:41] eddy: Okay, they're all up, the sound is still going on a loop. [01:42] anybody seen this issue before? with not being able to mount dvd drives of any kind? [01:42] eddy: i am going to try ubuntu 8.10 and you said you didnt install anything it just worked right [01:42] if I'm running transmission (torrent) client from another location through ssh -X does it do any of the traffic through my location or does it only display the app ? [01:42] Keaton, maybe it's your recording device getting feedback, try lowering the mic [01:43] Xodiac13: he has a different card. that makes all the difference [01:43] I have a problem with my Hp printer and HPLIP , could somebody help with that ? [01:43] Xodiac13, bastid_raZor is right what card do you have exactly? [01:43] bastid_raZor: man im all sorts of fed [01:43] eddy: radeon x1200 [01:43] !es [01:43] 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. [01:43] eddy: the x1200 [01:44] anyone know how to turn on your wireless card from linux on a laptop? === ubuntu is now known as countess [01:44] Eddy: That's.. not the problem. It's the sound itself, it'll looping. I've turned the volume off then on again and it's still going, so it's definitely not mic feedback. [01:44] I can find Apache2's apxs tool for the prefork MPM. It seems to be available only in the package apache2-threaded-dev. Any idea where apxs is for apache prefork? [01:45] you may have to get drivers for the wireless card sometimes also do you updates over a wired connection first [01:45] BloodAdept-> does it have a physical switch to turn on ? or in the bios perhaps? [01:45] theres a combination of keys that normally turns it on or off === aleron6 is now known as aleron [01:45] sometimes the updates jumpstart the wireless card working [01:45] but it's not working [01:45] if ur lucky [01:46] Xodiac13, have you tried using envyng-core? [01:46] !who [01:46] 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 :) [01:46] how do i start compiz w/o having to invoke it from terminal? [01:46] Keaton, sudo /etc/init.d/alsa restart [01:46] Chazz: which versoin of ubuntu? [01:46] bastid_raZor, jaunty [01:46] eddy: no i havent how do i use it and will it work in ubuntu 8.10 cause im installing it right now [01:47] Chazz: Sys>Prefs>Appearance>Visual Effects. Set to anything other than None and compiz will be running [01:47] Chazz: system>preferences>appearances> visual tab [01:47] thanks [01:47] Anybody know why my dvd burner drives refuse to mount dvds ?- drives are good, they both mount cds with no issues [01:48] Xodiac13, well i can't gaurantee it will but it may fix your problem [01:48] Dreamglider: Hm, this is weird. Command not found. I tried going into /etc/init.d too and running it there, but I just keep getting the alsa command in /sbin [01:49] eddy: how do i do it [01:49] Dreamglider: But I can confirm that the alsa command is indeed in /etc/init.d [01:49] Keaton, sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart [01:49] Keaton, sudo apt-get install envyng-core [01:49] Keaton, sorry that was to Xodiac13 [01:49] Keaton, or sudo /etc/init.d/pulseaudio restart [01:50] eddy: sorry i didnt see it [01:50] eddy: how do i do that [01:50] where does compiz set LIBGL_INDIRECT_ALWAYS [01:50] Dreamglider: Aha, error spew. I'll put it on pastebin. [01:50] ? [01:50] Xodiac13, sudo apt-get install envyng-core [01:50] LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT, that is [01:50] wicd is not working [01:50] i am not being able to connect to a linksys router wireless connection [01:50] any help? [01:50] eddy: wow.. envyng is horrible :\ [01:50] eddy: and then im done or is there more i need to do [01:51] jabagawee-> that looks like an environment variable, type set in a terminal to see it its set [01:51] i'm trying to migrate from aptitude to synaptic, but there's one feature I can't find... how can I get a list of what packages are new to the system? [01:51] i cant connect to a linksys router, the model is wrt54g [01:51] jabagawee: That's somewhat of a complicated question. But in short, it does it in compiz-manager [01:51] bastid_raZor, hey man if fglrx and radeon drivers didn't work. what do you suggest? [01:51] everytime oi try to connect it says obtaining ID nad then it says it failed to obtain IP [01:51] zebastian, try a wired connection first to setup the device. [01:51] hi [01:51] soreau, how would i force it not to do that? and what would i lose by doing so? [01:51] eddy: is it the open source drivers and thats all i have to do [01:51] eddy: that is true, i suppose. [01:51] how do you monitor the memory usage of a particular process? [01:51] how do I unpack foo.tar.gz to an existing directry bar? [01:52] Dreamglider: http://pastebin.com/m4edd5044 [01:52] Dreamglider: i am on a wired connection already [01:52] java or rather maybe env [01:52] test [01:52] to it matter of fact [01:52] mun, i use htop [01:52] but if i disconnect from wired and then try to login wireless [01:52] jabagawee: The ability to start compiz. If compiz-manager is setting that env var, that means your drivers aren't dri2 capable yet [01:52] assuming it's the most memory intensive application, you can just sort by mem% === KF5CLL is now known as KS0FT [01:52] it says failed to obtain ip [01:52] jabagawee, well it's not the most memory intensive unfortunately [01:52] jabagawee, can i specify a pid? [01:53] zebastian-> whats your network layout look like? have a drawing? [01:53] mun, yes, htop can sort by pid [01:53] how do you mean network layout¿? [01:53] can anyone suggest a good amazon s3 bucket browser for ubuntu? [01:53] zebastian-> what is connected to which device and such [01:53] Xodiac13, you may have to restart but yea [01:53] there's a router connected to a cable connection which is wired to a windows computer [01:53] jabagawee, right, but can i specify one explicitly? [01:53] zebastian-> a picture is worth a thousand words.. [01:54] mun, you can't search by pid, but you can search by process name [01:54] modem to router, router to windows pc and wireless for everyone [01:54] then again, htop might not be what you need [01:54] hi :) [01:54] Xodiac13, ah i just looked (lsmod <3) my machine uses the radeon driver. never thought they ever make it work for my x1400 [01:54] zebastian-> a picture is worth a thousand words.. <-- [01:54] Xodiac13, idk why it shouldn't work for your x1200 :-\ [01:55] ubca, i'm at a public place without a camera [01:55] zebastian: what kind of wifi card you have? [01:55] zebastian-> draw it in boxes.. [01:55] how do i check that¿ [01:55] help here! [01:55] good night [01:55] soreau, can i simply force it to not export the variable, and just start compiz with it exported, non-globally? [01:56] ubca, with which command can i check which wifi card i have¿ [01:56] Alan502, what help do you need? [01:56] zebastian: lspci in a terminal, if USB then lsusb [01:56] i screwed a partition with the ubuntu installer apparently ¬¬ [01:56] zebastian, lspci/lsusb [01:56] jabagawee, hmm how do you sort by pid?

I have installed all sorts of codecs along with mplayer and I can't get it to play radio stations [01:56] jabagawee, before the installation i had two partitions only [01:57] one about 30 gigs for system [01:57] Dreamglider, did you get my pastebin link? [01:57] and the rest 130 gigs aprox for data files [01:57] !pastebininit [01:57] Sorry, I don't know anything about pastebininit [01:57] http://paste.ubuntu.com/274446/ [01:57] then, as i was going to install ubuntu, jabagawee [01:57] jabagawee: I don't understand what you mean by nonglobally, but you can start the binary manually by setting that variable [01:57] !pastebinit [01:57] pastebinit is the command-line equivelent of !pastebin . Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output. Simple usage: command-name | pastebinit [01:57] Xodiac13, have you tried this guide? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI [01:57] i partitioned 20 gigs in etx3 [01:58] then i dont know what i selected in the installation [01:58] that it apparently installed inside the 110 gig ntfs partition [01:58] soreau, eh, kinda what i meant. basically give the entire system direct rendering, and start compiz with "LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1 compiz" [01:58] help? mount: /dev/sr1: unknown device when trying to mount dvds [01:58] ok new to ubuntu like one week....im sooo lost [01:58] and i cant access the files there [01:58] would you help me? [01:58] zebastian-> read the results to to clue you in a bit, learn what it spits out [01:58] damn it [01:58] http://paste.ubuntu.com/274447/ [01:58] Rhythmbox keeps complaining about a text/html decoder anyone know anything? [01:58] Alan502, so you installed ubuntu onto your ntfs partition? [01:58] eddy: no i havent will it be better to do than envy [01:58] and it got formatted as ext3? [01:58] apparently [01:59] mmm [01:59] zebastian: what do you get from the command "ifconfig" [01:59] its cause [01:59] Xodiac13, yes [01:59] when i browsed it with partition manager, on windows [01:59] jabagawee: That's not going to do what you think it might. You must run compiz with --indirect-rendering or else you need dri2. What are you trying to do specifically? [01:59] it shows up like if the previous partition had been partitoined again [01:59] can anybody help me with dvd mounting issue? [01:59] let me upload a screen cap [01:59] soreau, maybe i should just forgo compiz [01:59] mdg http://paste.ubuntu.com/274448/ [01:59] #eclipse @ irc.rizon.net [01:59] jabagawee: Depends on your setup and what you're trying to accomplish [02:00] Keaton, use sudo infront [02:00] jabagawee: DRI@ is right around the corner for radeon and already available for intel [02:00] soreau, well i have fglrx, which doesn't support dri2. i also want hardware direct rendering for everythign [02:00] Keaton, oops you did [02:00] zebastian: you don't have wireless interface setup [02:00] sry [02:00] ubca, what do i do now? [02:00] jabagawee: dri2* [02:00] zebastian-> have you tried reading the results yet? [02:00] hey im trying to get a usb wirless card working on my laptop and im having some trouble can anyone shed some light on the situation [02:00] mdg: how do i set it up? usually i can log into wireless networks with wicd [02:00] jabagawee: Which model card do you have exactly? [02:00] Dreamglider, http://pastebin.com/m4edd5044 [02:00] zebastian-> its there, you just have to learn how to read the results [02:00] soreau, HD4850, radeon and radeonhd do not support it with 3d accel yet [02:01] ubca, the results to which¿? [02:01] zebastian-> lspci [02:01] jabagawee: They do, but you need latest kernel, libdrm, xf86-video-ati and mesa [02:01] zebastian: you are using wicd - what does it show for the name of your wireless connection? [02:01] Keaton, sry cant help you, i dont know how. [02:01] soreau, oh, since when was that developed? [02:01] jabagawee: For ubuntu, the support should be available by at least 10.04 release I suspect [02:01] mdg, cap [02:02] jabagawee: Very recently. And it is still under heavy development [02:02] soreau, also they make the fan on the video card run at 100%, making it really whiny and quite unacceptable [02:02] zebastian: whats "cap" [02:02] the ngo where i work at [02:02] soreau, i'll probably go back to radeonhd soon enough [02:02] justin_, depends on what device you are using [02:02] jabagawee: That is to be worked on === john is now known as Guest92736 [02:02] and upca, i'm not here to learn, i'm here to fix as best as i can, this is not my house connection there i can connect no problem to wireless [02:02] jabagawee: But for right now with fglrx, if you want 3D for other things, you might as well turn compiz off or run dual X servers [02:02] soreau, until then, i guess i'll stick with fglrx [02:02] soreau, yep, no compiz for me [02:02] eddy, im using a netgear wnda3100 usb wireless shows up in lsusb just cant seem to get it to wrk need a point in the right direction [02:03] zebastian: you are too far ahead there - in wicd, you need to tell it what your wireless interface is called - I use "wlan0" [02:03] how would i keep track of radeonhd development? [02:03] zebastian-> are you getting paid to do this? [02:03] ubca, no i'm not [02:03] jabagawee: You should keep track of radeon development. It supports everything radeonhd does and more afaik [02:03] zebastian-> and you dont want to take the effort to learn at all? [02:03] mdg, i am not going to configure the connection, the connection is already configured from a windows computer [02:03] eddy: okay thanks man i will try it out [02:04] soreau, hm, i'm unsure as to what the radeon/radeonhd split is all about. something to do with atombios, but that difference has been somewhat changed now [02:04] ubca, yes, but for this specific particular case i just want to fix it, save the irc log and go home and read it later [02:04] jabagawee: If you can find the radeon devs blogs or phoronix forums keeps up on all that stuff [02:04] zebastian: this is configuring linux to use the wireless card [02:04] nothing to do with your router [02:04] jabagawee: Just wait till 10.04, should be much better and available in stable by then [02:04] soreau, i can't wait :D [02:05] mdg, great give me the first command to do that and i'll do it [02:05] and ubca all i saw there was a list of devices [02:05] soreau, didn't think of phoronix forums, only read their articles (which are somewhat dated). do you have a link to the radeon devs? [02:05] jabagawee: I couldn't either which is why I installed all the latest code here ;) [02:06] zebastian: in WICD, you need to setup your wireless interface - tell it what you want to use - - I suggest using "wlan0" (thats a zero not an oh) [02:06] Does anyone know anything about RythmBox text/html decoder plugin ? [02:06] mdg, i am on the gui [02:06] I have a problem with my Hp printer and HPLIP , could somebody help me with that ? [02:06] justin_, well it seems your card has to use the ndiswrapper, see if this thread on ubuntuforums will help http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=690699 [02:06] zebastian: I don't have WICD installed right now. [02:06] zebastian: WICD has a GUI [02:06] eddy, thanks much if i have a problem ill bring it back here [02:06] zebastian, run wicd-client [02:06] anyone here using WICD? Can you guide zebastian ? [02:06] mdg, i knwo, so i see the list of wireless networks and there it is teh one i want to connect to, i already have the password [02:07] i enter it [02:07] and it connects [02:07] mdg_, i am [02:07] then it says obtaining ip [02:07] zebastian-> yes it is listed, your clue is network, [02:07] jabagawee:http://imgur.com/Abge7.jpg (sorry for the low res but im strugling with that pc as the damaged partition was the one that contained all the programs i had installed) [02:07] and it says unable to optain ip [02:07] justin_, good luck [02:07] hello [02:07] zebastian: lets back up here - in a terminal type sudo iwlist scan and tell us what you see [02:08] no one uses RythmBox to listen to Radio? [02:08] ubca, i went to wicd then preferences then network interfaces [02:08] Alan502, is that large bluish highlighted bar an extended partition? [02:08] Im new to ubuntu and I've got some problems with resolution. It seems that Ubuntu isnt recognizing my monitor. [02:08] zebastian-> ill let mdg_ take the lead, ill comment when needed [02:08] thats the partition i had previously, the one with all my data [02:08] mdg http://paste.ubuntu.com/274449/ [02:08] the one on the left, C [02:08] jabagawee: http://airlied.livejournal.com/ [02:09] is the partition with windows installation [02:09] ubca: I don't have WICD installed - don't recall all the screens [02:09] the yellow one on the left, was the one i supposedly created to install ubuntu [02:09] mdg_-> i dont use gui myself [02:09] zebastian: "sudo iwlist scan" (without quotes) [02:09] but it apparently installed inside the D partition, the small yellow square shows it [02:09] ubca: lol - ohhh... [02:10] Hii [02:10] zebastian, go in preferences > external programs in wicd-client and select dhclient [02:10] mdg, http://paste.ubuntu.com/274450/ [02:10] Alan502, i find it confusing that a partition somehow got into another. im afraid that i dont understand [02:10] eddy, that's already selected [02:10] you might be able to get help from someone better qualified [02:10] Hello, can someone help me? [02:11] eddy, i just open the inf from the xp side install through ndis correct? [02:11] zebastian: again, no wifi interface is setup... [02:11] I am having trouble getting my iPod to show up in Banshee. Can anyone help? [02:11] zebastian-> which of those are allowed to connect ? [02:11] zebastian-> which of those are you* allowed to connect ? [02:11] can someone please help me to get rhythmbox working to play Radio? [02:11] justin_, yes install the .inf with ndiswrapper [02:11] ubca, cap [02:11] i have the password to cap [02:11] :/ i dont understan neither jabagawee, but thats what comes up. Thanks i think i will have to do the whole formatting. [02:11] mdg, what does that mean¿? how do i set it up then? [02:11] will rhythm box play my iPod? [02:12] can someone help me? [02:12] Alan502, i'm pretty sure you can still save your data [02:12] mdg, heck even from the command line [02:12] how do i set it up [02:12] if it's important, don't lose hope just yet [02:12] zebastian-> well perhaps the AP owner changed parameters or filter those who can connect.. ? [02:12] ^/msg ubottu gtkpod [02:12] mmm i can access my data, from ubuntu [02:12] zebastian, you could always just setup your own static ip for the computer [02:12] but the problem is at windows [02:12] ubca: could you guide him setting up wlan0 interface from command line? [02:13] ubca, the ap owner just reconfigured the network there's no firewall or restrictions just wep and a passphrase [02:13] eddy, how? [02:13] mdg_-> i can, but if the AP is not allowing, i cant do much [02:13] !ipod | Guest15876 [02:13] Guest15876: For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto - For the iPhone and the iPod Touch, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone - See !RockBox for information on liberating your iPod [02:13] can someone help me? [02:13] hai, im from Empathy on Karmic, works Smoooth... :) [02:13] hi [02:13] zebastian, well do you know the IP of your router? should be like 192.168.0.1 or something [02:13] tomas__: I just joined what do you want help with? [02:13] hold on [02:13] zebastian-> ask the owner again to perhaps try without wep or any encryption enabled, see if you can connect [02:14] eddy-> that will not work without him associating to the AP [02:14] zebastian: looks like a WEP access point, should just be as (assuming iwconfig lists your interface as wlan0), iwconfig wlan0 essid "cap"; iwconfig wlan0 key restricted hex_key_here; dhclient wlan0 [02:14] ubca, without encryption it won't connect [02:14] thank you for the iPod info, going to go to the link now [02:14] typing the ip in didn'tr work either, he did that before i came here [02:14] I want to post a submmision here : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Website/KarmicCountdownBanners , i got FTP for the .tar.gz, but how to attach the image sample here...??? [02:15] trism = i.e. type that into terminal? [02:15] I have setup a machine for my nephew, he does not have internet access, its a mac g4, running ubuntu 9.04 [02:15] zebastian: yes [02:15] zebastian-> then there is something wrong, as minimum if everything is working then at least no encryption should allow you to connect [02:15] zebastian, do you know the router's IP? [02:15] Hi, thanks, I'm on kubuntu, I have problems with the rods, simply disappeared when restart [02:15] eddy-> that will not work without him associating to the AP <-- [02:15] tomas__: the what? [02:15] I want to mirror all the repositories onto the hard drive, how would i go about doing this? [02:15] Are there any games like Nethack that can be played in the terminal? [02:15] zebastian: you should just type iwconfig without any args first to check your interface name [02:15] trism: he previously posted is ifconfig - no wlan0 is defined.... [02:15] ubca, i'm on wired connection [02:15] hikenboot: apt-cache [02:15] zebastian-> on same router/AP ? [02:15] mdg_: ifconfig won't list wireless interfaces if they aren't configured [02:15] the bar [02:16] mdg_: but iwconfig will === dab_ is now known as Jacksu [02:16] sorry for my bad english >( [02:16] tomas__: ok try #kubuntu [02:16] trism: right - we seem to be having trouble getting him to setup his wireless interface [02:16] trism http://paste.ubuntu.com/274453/ [02:16] ubca, yes i have a wired connection to that router right now [02:16] zebastian: you seem to want eth1 [02:17] zebastian: so replace wlan0 with eth1 [02:17] zebastian please do not do that, having two connections to same subnet, unless you really know what you are doing [02:17] I tried doing an upgrade to karmic alpha from ubuntu 9.04, and now my system won't boot. Is there a way to downgrade it from a livecd using chroot or something similar? === voidmage-away is now known as voidmage [02:17] i have to type this in the terminal?? [02:17] eddy, i have the driver installed how do i switch from the onboard card to the usb card [02:18] zebastian-> think about it as beging the packet, and which interface should you be going out of your box? [02:18] anyone read me please?, i want to know if empathy works here... [02:18] eddy: uh that website is the worst of getting the card to work [02:18] whats up JuanCarlos [02:18] I want to post a submmision here : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Website/KarmicCountdownBanners , i got FTP for the .tar.gz, but how to attach the image sample here...??? [02:18] ubca, i didn't understand your last statement [02:18] eddy: its stuck and the screen is blinking and stuck at checking battery state [02:18] ah not expert, came for help too [02:18] zebastian-> think about it as being* the packet, and which interface should you be going out of your box? which of the two? wireless or ethernet? [02:18] but i see its hard to get some attention [02:18] xD [02:19] arggh cant type.. [02:19] ubca, right now i am on a wired connection, that is what is going out of my box i guess [02:19] zebastian-> think about it you as being* the packet, and which interface should you be going out of your box? which of the two? wireless or ethernet? [02:19] Alan502: what was your question? [02:19] I have a a windows xp setup in vmware that I'm trying to share a folder to through samba. It can see the folder when it logs in as me, but it's read-only. How can I make it able to be written to? [02:19] zebastian please do not do that, having two connections to same subnet, unless you really know what you are doing [02:19] 192.168.1.xxx [02:19] thaqt's teh ip to the router upca [02:19] zebastian please do not do that, having two connections to same subnet, unless you really know what you are doing === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [02:20] i don't ahve two connections [02:20] i only have one [02:20] mdg_, thanks, my question was... how can i solve my partition problem? [02:20] the wired one [02:20] this is what happened [02:20] zebastian-> you will upon your wireless getting connected. so dont do it [02:20] ubca, ok [02:20] this is how i have currently my disk partitioned, mdg_ http://imgur.com/Abge7.jpg [02:20] unless you know what you are doing, ie familiar with route tables and such [02:20] ok, so what od i do to enable the wireless once i disconnect from the router [02:20] as i'm in the office which is not open all the time [02:21] and i want to be able to connect from the wireless connection next time [02:21] ubca: I kind of doubt it makes a difference at this point, I'm sure he's just on the wired connection so he can get help configuring...the world isn't going to explode if he configures them both [02:21] trism and thats where his confusion arises, having two nics enabled and he will not know what to do [02:21] Xodiac13, ah well fglrx doesn't work i guess. edit xorg.conf to use the radeon driver for the time being then and i guess try envyng-core [02:22] Xodiac13, trial and error :-\ [02:22] zebastian-> assuming you have he wifi confguration matching the configs of AP to allow access, ifup eth1 should do the trick [02:22] is there a way to set up an internal dns so that if i type something like https://dlp211server/ it points to my ip address? [02:22] justin_, tell your network manager to use ndiswrapper now [02:22] "send a message to the web presence" said, whos Web Presence, im looking for that guy [02:22] zebastian-> but disable the ethernet before doing such [02:22] ubca, how do i do that [02:22] I am trying to install byzanz. Has anyone ever installed it? I could use some help [02:22] dlp211: yeah, localhost [02:22] ubca: ifup isn't going to do anything if the wireless isn't configured [02:23] eddy, lol i know some but ive forgotten much more than i know, lol a lil elaboration would be beautiful =] [02:23] ubca: in /etc/network/interfaces [02:23] trism i said if his configs matches.. read what i typed.. [02:23] ah, will someone care to help me? i will really appreciate it :) [02:23] what do you pepole mean the wireless isn't configured? io am abnle to connect to my wireless router at home [02:23] a lynksys N [02:23] eddy: yup trail and never going to get it to work im bumbed out [02:24] justin_, did you modprobe ndiswrapper? [02:24] zebastian-> matching parameters, your wifi nic active and such.. [02:24] eddy: no one knows how long ive been trying to find a distro for that laptop im tired of Windoze except for gaming [02:24] eddy, no just "sudo ndiswrapper -i arusb_xp.inf [02:25] justin_, see if ndiswrapper is loaded: lsmod | grep ndis [02:25] Alan502: not sure what to tell you.... [02:25] Alan502-> what is the problem? i have not payed attention [02:26] Alan502: can't tell from screen shot what partion is to the far right of where your cursor is? [02:26] Does anyone know how to make it so I can write to my folder I'm sharing to windows? [02:26] Alan502: it shows yellow and 20.9 Gig ???? [02:26] voidmage a samba shared folder? [02:27] Yeah, shared through samba [02:27] its cause, the yellow partition of 20 gigs was the one i created before the installation [02:27] to supposedly install it there [02:27] Alan502: is that a screenshot of gparted or something in windows? [02:27] its something in windows [02:27] Alan502: you have a live cd you can boot into and use gparted? [02:27] i cant even get to run gparted because i ran out of space in the 2.5 gig partition ubuntu created [02:28] i can boot in ubuntu [02:28] and read all my files [02:28] Alan502: I believe you have to resize the windows partition smaller before you make your ubuntu partition [02:28] hi guys, i have a rtl8187b wireless driver, and i've searched a lot and put the "iwconfig wlan0 rate 5.5M fixed" in the rc.local ro fix the sort range problem and now this is ok, i can navigate through pages pretty well, BUT the downloads are a problem. the connection get very unstable and i'm unable to finish most of the downloads [02:28] but the problemis booting in windows [02:28] Hi [02:28] mmm [02:28] Does anyone know of a good screen recorder program? [02:28] mdg_: i can read all my files in ubuntu, but i cant read those in D in windows [02:28] I tried instabaul, or what ever it's called, and it doesn't show any movement when I play the file bac [02:28] Alan502: oh you messed up windows.... [02:28] amseidler: a screen cast program? [02:29] for wifi troubles, if nothing works, 9.10 works with all major Wifi cards and 3G thingy [02:29] amseidler, gtkrecordmydesktop [02:29] UBestB: If by that you mean a program that records what you're doing on your screen, then yet [02:29] Ok [02:29] i messed up the partition with all my data, when trying to access it from windows [02:29] eddy: Is that in add/remove? [02:29] if you can install development [02:29] JuanCarlos-> really? without using backports? [02:29] amseidler, i hear it's the best [02:29] eddy: Ok :) [02:29] amseidler, uhh yea it should be [02:29] Hi all, are there any channel admins present? Need someone to use the nickserv sendpass command so I can log in properly. [02:29] Alan502: so you need to rescue your windows data right? [02:29] eddy: It's not [02:30] UBestB, to make this problem even more difficult I run centos at home, I could boot a VM with Ubuntu but it would be x86 32 bit archs not a mac G4 with ubuntu 9.04, is there a way to mirror distro repositories without using a rpm based distro for a apt based distro? [02:30] eddy: which download do I get? http://recordmydesktop.sourceforge.net/downloads.php [02:30] could anyone help me please? [02:30] amseidler, sudo apt-get install gtk-recordmydesktop [02:30] byt the way, i'm running ubuntu 8.10 [02:30] without backports [02:30] i can access it from ubuntu, but when i go to my pc in windows and select D it retrives an error, mdg_ [02:30] eddy: Riiiight, forgot about the terminal :P [02:30] Alan502: and you can't mount ntfs (D: drive)? [02:31] exactly [02:31] hello everyone, I am trying to setup a list of apturls on my site of packages that a general Ubuntu user should install. I am trying to list mozilla-acroread and it does not work. anyone know what is wrong? -->> apturl:mozilla-acroread [02:31] JuanCarlos-> thats cool, somehow someone here earlier complained about that and somebody else suggested using the backport to access the drivers [02:31] eddy: Ok, it's installing. Now to test it :). Thanks for the help :) [02:31] but i can from ubuntu, i think ubuntu sniffing in that partition screwed it up [02:31] Alan502: so you need to force a mount of ntfs through ubuntu to copy your files from borked windows install? [02:31] hello [02:31] amseidler: you can use xvidcap [02:31] UBestB s/mirror distro repositories without using a rpm based/while using a rpm based distro/ === Chiliblue_ is now known as Chiliblue [02:31] backports of development release are almost empty...

[02:33] JuanCarlos: you should probably ask that in #ubuntu-doc [02:33] Alan502: I can never exactly recall the command right... [02:33] ok [02:33] thanks... [02:33] kruykaze, I am trying to list apturl links on my site and I need one for mozilla-acroread that works [02:34] Alan502: it will force ubuntu to mount your windows partition [02:34] so you want to mirror repos other than rpms on an rpm based system? [02:34] kruykaze, I tried apturl://mozilla-acroread [02:34] ok thanks a lot mdg_, really appreciated it [02:34] what do you mean with, mounting? [02:34] Alan502: that will be under /media/ha1 [02:35] on the previous partition i created :s [02:35] hahaha [02:35] Alan502: in linux you "mount" and "unmount" file systems, kind of like how you access a USB flash drive [02:35] what can i use from the terminal to know how my disk is being used right now ? (like the disk usage meter in system monitor) [02:35] mozilla-acroread ------>Medibuntu [02:35] hi, I've been using karmic for a while on my netbook and after updating it last night it doen't start X, it also doesn't appear to recognise that it has a wireless card (and I don't have a second network cable).

[02:37] [02:37] digitalvaldosta: yeah you'd need to try it, I just googled, and on the apturl launchpad page it says apt:pkgname [02:37] i cant see the bar, im un kubuntu, someone can help me_ [02:37] ?? [02:38] I can play it from the sound meny perfectly well, and the login sound play as it should. But the logout sound refuses to work. [02:38] sinan, uhh i think 'top' shows that info [02:38] ubca:i have a rtl8187b wireless driver, and i've put the "iwconfig wlan0 rate 5.5M fixed" in the rc.local ro fix the short range problem and now this is ok, BUT the downloads are a problem. the connection get very unstable and i'm unable to finish most of the downloads [02:38] trism / kruykaze , that still does that same error ( package is virtual [02:38] digitalvaldosta: lemme go test it, one sec [02:38] sinan, 'top' is the equivalent of gnome's system monitor for the terminal [02:38] tomas__: try ctrl+alt+f1 (kills x-sessions and goes into commandline) - log in, type startx [02:39] sinan, great if you're ssh'ing your machine :-) [02:39] chunda-> what if you leave the rate dynamic and let the driver decide the bitrate .. what happens? [02:39] trism / kruykaze , the link 'works' it just says package is virtual. thats my only problem [02:39] htop is like 20 times better than top, eddy [02:39] Alan502: if you end up having to reinstall windows - reinstall windows first and then install ubuntu , just leave enough room for your ubuntu install when you setup windows [02:40] DigitalKiwi, really i guess i'll check it out [02:40] http://omploader.org/vMjgyag isn't that beautiful? [02:40] digitalvaldosta, brb sorry [02:40] DigitalKiwi, haha it has colors [02:41] and yes ompluad is a script i wrote to post to omploader.org \o/ [02:41] anyone here use avidemux? I have a sound problem [02:42] anyone like it...? :) http://img34.imageshack.us/img34/9208/bannerday7.jpg [02:42] can someone help me reconfigure alsa for my soundcar [02:42] d [02:43] hey [02:43] sup doood [02:43] hi axle [02:43] anyone know how to use downloaded 360 themes? [02:43] i downloaded some with some spare point but can't find them in the themes menu [02:44] sup mdg [02:44] eddy: if you don't like the colors you can turn them off ;) [02:44] DigitalKiwi, but i like colors [02:45] oh [02:45] join #jungleflasher [02:45] sounded like you were making fun of it for having colors [02:45] my bad ... [02:46] <[[thufir]]> is it possible to change the behaviour of apt-get so that, rather than downloading umpteen packages and then installing them, each package is downloaded and installed before the next one is processed? [02:46] [[thufir]], i don't think so [02:46] Has anyone else had problems updating due to meidbuntu files? [02:47] wow so [02:47] digitalvaldosta: according to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apturl/+bug/230760 apturl can't install virtual packages, so you'd need to figure out what package it points to [02:47] when i delete large amounts of files in linux, my desktop is basically nonresponsive? [02:47] is this just normal for ubuntu? [02:47] <[[thufir]]> is it possible to change the behaviour of apt-get so that, rather than downloading umpteen packages and then installing them, each package is downloaded and installed before the next [02:47] trism, thanks [02:47] [[thufir]]: some packages need the next to be updated before it can be installed [02:47] <[[thufir]]> eddy: ok [02:48] adante, could be a filesystem issue [02:48] adante, not normal [02:48] * eddy agrees with UBestB [02:48] slow computer? [02:48] <[[thufir]]> bastid_raZor: righ, so in that case, install the dependany first. [02:48] lol, man === Chiliblue_ is now known as Chiliblue [02:48] very slow computer [02:48] i dunno, i've just copied and paste [02:48] if i run without this command, i can only connect near the wifi router [02:49] yeah like e8400 slow [02:49] does it run on vacuum tubes? [02:49] and i'm still have an unstable wifi connection [02:49] [[thufir]]: i think that is the first time i've ever seen that question asked. [02:49] <[[thufir]]> I have a slow connection === wet-chan is now known as wet [02:49] so how do i tell if my drives are using dma nowadays? [02:50] dma? [02:50] preferably without having to rebuild kernel, install 426 sources etc [02:50] I'm using Ubuntu 9.04 and I just installed Konqueror. Is there any way to maek it the default file manager? [02:50] eddy: iotop did it :) [02:51] [[thufir]]: it would still take just as long either way, yet i don't think it is possible. but if dependency is updated and you don't update the other package then you have broken packages [02:51] hi again [02:52] sinam, cool *top is awesome [02:52] Which is the best: ubuntu, kubuntu, xubuntu, or lubuntu? [02:52] ubca: so i just don't know what i have to do to have a stable wifi [02:53] y try typin startx and say me, server fatal error, is already in use or something like that [02:53] chunda -> there are no guaranteed speed with wifi, try using wired [02:53] aj_444, depends on your taste [02:53] aj_444: That is like asking which is best: red, green, blue or purple. Depends on your canvas and what you like. [02:53] sinan: so iotop does what you need? [02:53] i prefer ubuntu and customize my gnome setup [02:54] eddy, Cyrano_De: I'm looking for something I really can make my own, but that is easy to use. I mean, I know that ubuntu by nature is by far the easiest linux distro to use out there, but are there ones that are simpler than others? [02:54] I've taken a likeing to xubuntu lately myself. Ever since KDE4 anyway. [02:55] DigitalKiwi: yep ! :) [02:55] cool [02:55] aj_444, well LinuxMint is a flavor that is based off of Ubuntu that may be 'easier' [02:55] DigitalKiwi: I wonder if there is a similar tool for network usage .. is there any? [02:55] *flavor - i mean distro [02:55] eddy: I need something that is running in karmic because well, jaunty hates my netbook. [02:55] sinan: yeah =D [02:56] DigitalKiwi: what is it called ? :P [02:56] does anyone know how i can install alsamixer [02:56] 1 community/iftop 0.17-8 iftop does for network usage what top(1) does for CPU usage [02:56] aj_444, i never tested karmic. i'm still on stable releases, such as jaunty [02:57] eddy: does linux mint have an alpha out, or do you not know? [02:57] aj_444, idk [02:57] i'm watching this movie and a guy was taking a shit and this chick walks in and starts licking his fingers right after he wipes his ass ... and now she's fucking him on the toilet w/ his nasty shit still in the the toilet [02:57] now the chick's taking a shit right after they finished fucking ... this is awesome ... i love foreign films [02:57] eddy: I'll google around. [02:57] aj_444: mint is stable [02:57] td123: so no unstables based off karmic are out? [02:57] aj_444, mint usually releases their newest version a couple months after ubuntu devs release their latest [02:57] aj_444: oh, dunno [02:58] and, how do you report people? penix.. is wow. ew. [02:58] navetz, the gnome one? [02:58] for example, i doubt they will be mint in karmic until december or january [02:58] aj_444: are you looking for bleeding edge or something? [02:58] aj_444: http://www.linuxmint.com/oldreleases.php - I love linux Mint! [02:58] I'm using Ubuntu 9.04 and I just installed Konqueror. Is there any way to maek it the default file manager? [02:58] kruykaze: the terminal one [02:58] mdg_, i do too but for some reason when i booted mint livecd i get a system hault, so i guess mint does not like my acer laptop :-( [02:58] DigitalKiwi: Preferably. Its the only thing that'll work on my asus 1005ha. [02:59] http://oswatershed.org/ aj_444 [02:59] causasui, just use Kubuntu [02:59] eddy: have you tried eeeubuntu? [02:59] aj_444: For low resource machines I would go with xubuntu or lubuntu [03:00] mdg_, i don't have an eeepc [03:00] i wish i did tho [03:00] eddy: stupid answer [03:00] ubca: without the command, is worse and with a short range [03:00] aj_444: There is also the netbook remix. [03:00] navetz, not familiar with it do you know the name? [03:00] hello, something has happened and my ubuntu has become corrupted and i cannot get rid of it from my system. i have uninstalled from windows and tried to edit boot.ini but it still shows up in my dual boot screen and all attempts to reinstall have failed. does anyone have any idea what i should do? [03:00] Cyrano_De: I like the desktop enviroment. The launcher irritates me. [03:00] navetz, actually i think that one is buit in [03:00] kruykaze: well when you type alsamixer in a terminal it usually shows up [03:01] DigitalKiwi: Are those listed as future releases up for download? [03:01] eddy: what processor you have? [03:01] aj_444: You can set the interface back to a standard gnome desktop in the NBR [03:01] eddy: I've been told that acer aspire and eeepc have same components [03:02] navetz, and what dod you wanna do [03:02] mdg_, intel dual core [03:02] mdg_: almost all netbooks have the same components [03:02] aj_444: all of those are available right now afaik [03:02] kruykaze: well i am actually trying to fix my soundcard [03:02] eddy: give Mint 7 a try... [03:02] DigitalKiwi: Thanks. I'll test some of them out. [03:02] causasui, well i believe then you can change your default by editing some .desktop files in /usr/share/applications [03:03] if you want opinins on any of them ask me [03:03] navetz, and you're looking for a graphical mixer? [03:03] Cyrano_De: they almost have the same components - but acer aspire and eeepc are the closest match [03:03] DigitalKiwi: For ease of use, which would you recommend? [03:03] I was just looking at Toshiba 205 and a gateway AMD based this evening. [03:03] kruykaze: no I am just trying to fix my sound, and i'm missing alsamixer [03:03] eddy: you're having netbook problems? [03:03] mdg_, i have and the livecd gave me a system hault message when loading vmlinuz... [03:04] ubca: speed is not the problem [03:04] ubca: the connection gets stuck. [03:04] fedora rawhide is probably what i'd use if i didn't want to configure everything, arch is what i use most of the time [03:04] you can't do sudo apt get install alsamixer? [03:04] apt-get* [03:04] this is ot though, pm me if you want [03:05] <[[thufir]]> synaptic is able to create a bunch of wget's, like: wget -c http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/p/pam/libpam-modules_1.0.1-9ubuntu1.1_i386.deb [03:05] aj_444, i dont have any problem with ubuntu [03:05] anecdotal! [03:05] navetz, i'm pming you [03:05] hi [03:05] this channel is statistical evidence that a lot of people do ;D [03:06] i have tried to delete the ubuntu partition but there is none, i have seemingly erased all traces but it is still there. does anyone know what i should do? kinda desperate here [03:06] <[[thufir]]> can this script be used to with "apt-get" so that there aren't large and numerous downloads? [03:06] can somebody say if is possible had 3 monitors in ubuntu [03:06] yorielg: yes [03:06] DigitalKiwi: how? [03:07] i try so many times, but nothing [03:07] that depends on your hardware [03:07] BootITNG will zapp ubuntu [03:07] i had one pciexpress ati [03:08] and other ati pci [03:08] with first i do twin, but i cant be avaliable to up thirth [03:09] chase1: you tried to delete ubuntu through windows? [03:09] yes. i installed it to begin with with wubi [03:09] oh wubi! eeewwww! [03:09] You can't delete ubuntu through windows [03:09] would anybody be able to take a look at this: [03:09] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1270668 [03:09] lol im back guys i got ndiswrapper to install the driver and see the device i just cant use it for some reason any help here? [03:10] glavanwa1: If I'm not mistaken, I believe you can. [03:10] chase1: In windows, just uninstall wubi from the control panel add/remove applications [03:10] glavanwa1 then how do i uninstall it? i can't even get to ubuntu. when i select it from dual boot i just get errors and i have to turn the computer off. saying that files cannot be found. im assuming from the wubi uninstall [03:10] mdg_ i'll try that [03:10] mdg_, lol that won't remove ubuntu though [03:10] Well you can't remove grub or lilo with windows [03:10] chase1: :) good luck [03:10] Could someone please tell me how to configure NICs in ubuntu? [03:11] glavanwa1 then how do i remove them? [03:11] wait, does wubi magically create a virtual partition or something? [03:11] eddy: yes [03:11] mdg_: it isn't even showing up under uninstall programs [03:11] nabudis: edit /etc/networks [03:11] mdg_, oh i guess uninstalling it entirely may work [03:12] chase1: are you booted in windows or ubuntu? [03:12] Use a partition utility like bootITNG or partition magic [03:12] Gparted [03:12] thanks:) [03:12] mdg_: im in windows. i can't get into ubuntu. when i try to i get "missing file errors" [03:12] glavanwa1: That, you cannot. You need the windows recovery disk. [03:12] glavanwa1: i tried, there isn't a partition [03:12] how do I add a log in message on ubuntu server? [03:12] Then how is it still there? [03:12] glavanwa1: i also just got finished reinstalling windows and wiping everything. and its still there [03:13] chase1: do you still have wubi in your programs menu? Is there an uninstall link? [03:13] glavanwa1: i have no clue, lol thats what im trying to figure out [03:13] mdg_: no, i do not [03:13] r3l1c: /etc/motd [03:13] r3l1c: it might be /etc/motd [03:13] How do you know it's still there? [03:13] chase1: how did you start ubuntu before? [03:13] glavanwa1: it still shows up on my dual boot screen, even though i cannot get into ubuntu because it gives me errors [03:13] chase1, i read on a forums site you just go to c:\ and remove the wubi* file/folders then edit your boot.ini and remove the ubuntu boot options [03:13] in rtorrent, what does it mean when it says "Trakcer: [Timeout was reached]"? [03:13] r3l1c: but actually there is a process to get it to not be over written.. actually add your message to /etc/motd.tail [03:13] bastld_raZor: lastarnes: thanks [03:13] perhaps you need to resize the windows partition. If you delete ubuntu, there'll still be an open hdd space. [03:13] Dual boot screen in grub or lilo? [03:14] glavanwa1: lilo? [03:14] !bot [03:14] Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [03:14] yo ubottu [03:14] eddy: can you throw him a link to instructions?

[03:16] !vpn [03:16] From more information on vpn please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Gaming_VPN_Using_PPTPD [03:16] oh ubuntu is it fine to install single .deb's and not sets of packages without interfering? [03:17] s/oh/with [03:17] Knightingale: I believe so [03:17] Knightingale: but you would need to manually resolve dependencies when using single .debs [03:17] hi [03:17] RPG_Master: ... did I miss your reply? [03:17] how can i hack stuff on Ubuntu? [03:18] r3l1c: in order to keep your changes you'll need to do: update-motd --disable ..then edit /etc/motd and /etc/motd.tail [03:18] XwXCrazyloki, depends on what you wish to hack, but i doubt anyone will answer those questions here [03:18] Woah! How's the Ubuntu alpha? [03:18] XwXCrazyloki, use a saw [03:18] i want to hack cia [03:18] xmnt, lol [03:18] MrSenator: Karmic?

[03:19] I'm a big fan of recipricating saws. === swoody_ is now known as swoody [03:19] mdg_: I hadn't replied yet :P [03:19] XwXCrazyloki, good luck hacking cia [03:19] bastid_raZor: thanks [03:19] r3l1c: /etc/motd.tail should be directly edited instead of /etc/motd [03:19] MrSenator: Its still unstable. A lot of useless stuff crashes often. For an alpha though, its pretty good. it goes beta on the first. [03:19] i dont need luck [03:19] RPG_Master: wow! that was working in linux? [03:19] RPG_Master: frets on fire? [03:19] bastid_raZor: and then it will over write motd [03:19] ruLx moii FooT !!! ruLx moii FooT !!! ruLx moii FooT !!! ruLx moii FooT !!! ruLx moii FooT !!! ruLx moii FooT !!! ruLx moii FooT !!! ruLx moii FooT !!! ruLx moii FooT !!! ruL--== KaKaMaNa ==-- !seen !ping Fuck ya [03:19] ruLx moii FooT !!! ruLx moii FooT !!! ruLx moii FooT !!! ruLx moii FooT !!! ruLx moii FooT !!! ruLx moii FooT !!! ruLx moii FooT !!! ruLx moii FooT !!! ruLx moii FooT !!! ruL--== KaKaMaNa ==-- !seen !ping Fuck ya [03:19] ruLx moii FooT !!! ruLx moii FooT !!! ruLx moii FooT !!! ruLx moii FooT !!! ruLx moii FooT !!! ruLx moii FooT !!! ruLx moii FooT !!! ruLx moii FooT !!! ruLx moii FooT !!! ruL--== KaKaMaNa ==-- !seen !ping Fuck ya [03:19] ruLx moii FooT !!! ruLx moii FooT !!! ruLx moii FooT !!! ruLx moii FooT !!! ruLx moii FooT !!! ruLx moii FooT !!! ruLx moii FooT !!! ruLx moii FooT !!! ruLx moii FooT !!! ruL--== KaKaMaNa ==-- !seen !ping Fuck ya [03:19] lstarnes: when update-motd runs it pulls from /etc/motd.tail and writes over /etc/motd . [03:21] r3l1c: if you do update-motd --disable then you edit /etc/motd you should be fine since update-motd will not be running [03:21] Well, what happened? [03:21] r3l1c: if you do update-motd --disable then you edit /etc/motd you should be fine since update-motd will not be running [03:21] What is ruLx moii Foot?? [03:21] lstarnes: when update-motd runs it pulls from /etc/motd.tail and writes over /etc/motd . [03:21] bastid_raZor: i see [03:21] bastid_raZor: I saw the first time [03:21] glavanwa1: Spam. [03:21] glavanwa1: some spam message. Just ignore it [03:21] lstarnes: ah, i thought we were all muzzled by the bots. [03:22] I need to connect to a Windows VPN in Ubuntu to access an exchange server. any ideas? [03:22] mdg_: Yeah, I was playing some SNES games [03:22] RPG_Master: frets on fire? [03:22] lstarnes, can you tell me where to find proxy settings? [03:22] mdg_: But that would probably work too :) [03:22] RPG_Master: did it work out of box first time? [03:23] seyfarth: if it is a pptp VPN then there is a plugin for network manager that works pretty well. [03:23] exit [03:23] mdg_: Yep... which makes me wonder why its not working now :( [03:23] kruykaze: if it's ubuntu running gnome, System > Preferences > Network Proxy [03:23] RPG_Master: plus in to USB? [03:23] It was working fine in ZSNES :( [03:23] mdg_: yes [03:23] hi [03:23] RPG_Master: check "lsusb" and see if it is listed..... [03:23] ubuntu is fag software [03:24] ok [03:24] lstarnes, it says direct connection which makes no sense because the update manager for example is looking for 127.0.0.1 [03:24] only fags use ubuntu [03:24] I think we are being "raided [03:24] " [03:24] XwXCrazyloki: do you have ane actual support qusetion or do you just want to be banned? [03:24] lstarnes, my dad was fiddling with proxies the other day but as a seperate user [03:24] lol silly people with time on their hands. [03:24] i think he wants to be banned [03:24] ubuntu is dumb [03:25] jrib: i do believe he wants to hack cia with ubuntu [03:25] RPG_Master: I know. honestly, what is up with the spam today? [03:25] jrib, thank you [03:25] is there any good software for a alternative to the system tray [03:25] aj_444: Has it been like this all day? === jiohdi3 is now known as jiohdi [03:25] webbb82: cairo-dock or Avant window navigator [03:26] kruykaze: I'm not sure how to change root's proxy settings [03:26] RPG_Master: I've only been on the past hour.

Probably those punks over at Fedora. xD [03:26] :P === miguel is now known as Guest31506 [03:26] i already have a dock i dont wanna cliutter it with minamised apps [03:26] kruykaze: for apt, it may be somewhere in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/ [03:27] webbb82: gnome do dock? [03:27] webbb82: cairo-dock has the option to not show minimized applications.. but i misread your question .. you said system tray [03:27] avan [03:27] kruykaze: it might have something in /etc/apt/sources.list trying to use a local cache [03:27] can i still talk in here or do i have to identify [03:27] eddy: we can hear you [03:27] bastid_raZor, isnt the system tray where minamised apps go [03:27] cool [03:27] lstarnes, oh i see [03:27] eddy: sorry couldn't hear you [03:27] mdg_: Its showing up as "Logitech, Inc. Precision Gamepad" [03:27] DigitalKiwi, ha ha (sarcasm) [03:28] greetings I have decided to use apt-mirror for setting up a local cache of repositories anyone able to tell me the default apt-sources for Jaunty 9.04 for POWERPC ? [03:28] RPG_Master: then it must be something in the game that made it stop working [03:28] anyone karmic ubuntu studio alpha 6 by any chance??? [03:28] the floodbot confused me before and i tried to register this nick but it's taken [03:28] mdg_: OK then, thanks :) I'll start messing around with ZSNES's settings then [03:28] mezquitale: #ubuntu+1 is the channel for karmic and its official variants [03:29] hikenboot: you might have better luck posting in the PPC forum at www.ubuntuforums.org [03:29] webbb82: in gnome the system tray is in the top panel at the right. the minimized windows are int he bottom panel [03:29] mezquitale, not sure what you meant but I installed it in a vm [03:29] thanks mdg_ [03:29] hikenboot: I have 8.04 on a PPC, so that won't help you... [03:29] ya sorry im geting my terms mixed up [03:29] lstarnes, how do i fix that? [03:29] xmnt, im trying to download the image, if you have it and want to send it to me that will be great, im downloading it from the site but it's going to take about 3 hours to download [03:30] kruykaze: I'm not exactly sure [03:30] mezquitale, try the torrents [03:30] kruykaze: if it's an entry in /etc/apt/sources.list pointing to 127.0.0.1/localhost, it can be removed or replaced with an actual mirror [03:30] mezquitale, that is the fastest way [03:30] kruykaze: there might also be something in system > administration > synaptic package manager [03:30] xmnt, i cant even get a hit using the torrent, what client are you using? I'm using Transmission bit torrent client [03:31] can't i find rtorrent in the ppa? [03:31] mezquitale, deluge .... make sure your ports are forwarded properly [03:31] <[[thufir]]> how do you download updates with a slow connection? sometimes the download fails and I have to start over. (intermittent as well). [03:31] mezquitale, setup correctly shouldn't take more than 10-20 min. on a decent connection [03:32] can anyone help me? I can't get flash player to work [03:32] I have a fast cable connection and it takes me forever to download the torrents, let me try the deluge client [03:32] lstarnes, thx a bunch [03:32] !flash [03:32] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [03:32] [[thufir]]: You should be able to continue, at the very least every individual package that is successfully downloaded is saved [03:33] [[thufir]], you'll probably have to uncheck most updates in the update-manager and update one package at a time [03:33] thank you I'll give it a try [03:33] Magicman1264: If I remember correctly, you need to type into the terminal sudo aptitutde install flashplugins-installer [03:33] Magicman1264: what kind of PC and is this a fresh install of ubuntu? [03:34] flashplugin-nonfree === rp3_ is now known as Rp3 [03:34] [[thufir]]: If you use apt-get it will tell you how much needs to be downloaded to upgrade, the amount should go down each time you run it === sean is now known as Guest3565 [03:34] ubca: sorry [03:34] aj_444, adobe-flashplugin [03:34] ubca pidgin raped my processor and RAM [03:34] not fresh install [03:35] how do I get an already built copy of opengl, or something the equivelant of directx for ubuntu 8.10? [03:35] Magicman1264: is this a Power PC? [03:35] how many times will "ping [ip]" go in the terminal...? [03:35] I have this running since about JUne [03:35] actually, Magicman1264: its sudo aptitude install flashplugin-installer [03:35] no not power PC [03:35] eddy: the way I suggested worked earlier today for me. just minus the s at the end of plugin. [03:35] until you hit ctrl+z ? thats my guess seyfarth [03:35] Magicman1264: did you add the medibuntu repositories and GPG key? [03:36] no I don't know how [03:36] Magicman1264: google ubuntu wiki Medibuntu [03:36] Guest31506, you just need to get 3d working for your gfx card [03:37] Magicman1264: once you add the medibuntu repos and update, you can get flash working [03:37] !medibuntu | Guest31506 [03:37] Guest31506: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [03:37] Well I can't seem to get games to run properly on my system so I figure it must be a problem with not having opengl, or directx [03:37] i hate flash [03:37] ok [03:37] gnome do's dock is really laggy does anyone els notice this or know how to fix it [03:37] sorry @ off topic [03:38] webbb82: could also be your graphics card.

[03:40] rhythembox wouldnt let me copy off the ipod [03:40] hmmm ipod plugin? [03:41] frank1_: try looking under preferences....

[03:42] is there a way to install ubuntu server without installing python? i'd like to build python from source without having an existing installation of python in the system. my assumption is that this would be impossible, but i figured i'll ask anyways.

[03:42] anyone knows what port is safe to use on a bit torrent?? The ports I am trying are blocked by my ISP [03:43] mezquitale: which ones have you tried and which one is your ISP? [03:43] frank1 it is the equivilant of itunes for linux users [03:43] [[thufir]]: perhaps aptitude through console? [03:43] [[thufir]]: Why not just keep running "sudo apt-get upgrade" untill all updates are finished downloading? [03:43] ok can i find it in syst mang [03:43] does anyone know how to configure x server to let me use three monitors with two nvidia cards. i have 1 and a half monitors working, but i can't get the other half of one, and the 3rd working correctly. [03:43] apparentlly no [03:43] my isp is cablevision I have tried the default ports in deluge and also tried using a random port, I am still unable to connect using the bit torrent client [03:44] does anybody know how make kdenlive support avi files [03:44] frank1 no let me see if i can find it for you [03:44] question- occasionally my mouse freezes... the pointer moves, the keyboard works, everything continues to move as normal except the mouse buttons stop working so even though the pointer moves its useless [03:44] guys how can i get Flash to detect and use my webcam? [03:44] do i dl the deb package? [03:44] Having trouble with the touchpad on a Gateway T-1620. Tap-click works only part of the time. Anyone able to help? Running Jaunty, fresh install. [03:44] mezquitale: it could be something else and not your ISP. are you behind a firewall? do you have a router? [03:44] would that be a problem with X or the mouse or what? btw the mouse is a ms sidewinder... [03:44] sorry im fairly new to this linux thing [03:44] rand0ms0me0ne: Are you using multiple monitors? [03:44] I have a router, the clients used to work though, so I dont think it's the router [03:44] frank1 its at http://www.atunes.org [03:45] Jordan_U: 4 on two gpu [03:45] Brando753, you first must make sure your webcam works under linux, meaning: is there a driver installed for it? and then flash should easily just detect it [03:45] never had this problem with just one [03:45] guest deb package? [03:45] Anyone know where i can get an already built copy of opengl or equiv. to directx for ubuntu 8.10?? [03:45] how's that atunes? how does it compare with rhythmbox? [03:45] <[[thufir]]> mdg_: yes, but how do you get aptitude to download and install one package at a time, versus a large number of packages? [03:46] what i dont get is i have used cairo-dock and avant and none of those were laggy but gnome do's docky is very slow and lags [03:46] kruykaze well once you get it working right its actually pretty sweet! way better than ryhtymbox I think [03:46] [[thufir]], you could use wicd and set it to run 'sudo apt-get upgrade' on post-connection and add apt-get to the /etc/sudoers to avoid it asking the password all the time [03:46] Guest3565: I think you can just install the opengl bindings for whatever language you want to code in, and apt will handle the rest [03:46] Guest3565, in wat way? [03:46] [[thufir]]: not sure - haven't used it enough...googling now.... [03:46] webbb82 Avant is the best by far dock out there! [03:47] mezquitale: could still be it, tho. the best way to check would be not using the router and testing with your modem directly connected to one of the machines. you could also set up port forwarding on your NAT, or DMZ. i doubt your ISP can block bittorrent ports, since bittorrent doesn't use any single well known port (and if your client does, that can be changed) [03:47] [[thufir]], actually scratch that idea i thought that only works for a LAN disconnect haha [03:47] Guest31506, what makes awn the best? [03:47] Determinist, what port do you use?? [03:47] mezquitale: your ISP can use traffic shaping, but that's different. [03:47] mezquitale: 57265 [03:48] webbb82 because it has the most features and is the most compatible! That is my opinion though! [03:48] eddy, you have any ideas on my opengl issue? [03:48] <[[thufir]]> the best I can come up with is to gernate a list of packages, and then: apt-get -y $(pkgs.txt) but it's kinda cranky [03:48] ubuntu.fr [03:48] webbb82: I like Gnome-Do -- It is GRRRRRRREAT. With that, you longer do not need docks, you only need a panel. :) [03:48] how can i find out what grafix card i have [03:48] Guest31506, do you have 3d acceleration enabled? do you have libgl1-mesa-dev installed on your system? if not, do that [03:48] Guest3565, do you have 3d acceleration enabled? do you have libgl1-mesa-dev installed on your system? if not, do that [03:49] woops [03:49] [[thufir]]: you get tell aptitude to hold a package, according to the man page [03:49] Determinist, TCP port 57265 closed on MYIP [03:49] any idea about my question from earlier, guys? [03:49] eddy yes 3d acceleration is on, but I have been trying to figure out how to get that mesa, already built of course cause i can't seem to figure out how to build things correctly! [03:49] mezquitale: myip? [03:50] Guest3565, you should be able to install through apt-get or synaptic [03:50] yo [03:50] hi [03:50] [[thufir]]: actually, you should be able to manipulate update manager to just download one package at a time - just unclick all but the first update.... [03:50] Guest3565, i'll give it a try [03:50] Determinist, it's an ip of the form *.*.*.* where * = # from 1-254 [03:51] mezquitale, i believe you can use 0 to 255 [03:51] <[[thufir]]> I saw the hold option, but wasn't clear how to script that. I'd rather avoid the GUI, as this problem comes up repeatedly. [03:51] french??

Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr [03:51] eddy, 255 is usually the broadcast address LoL [03:51] mezquitale: you can't be serious. i just talked to you about NAT, DMZ and port forwarding and you're telling me what an IP address is? i'm asking what MYIP is... not what an IP address is. [03:52] Guest3565, i meant atunes [03:52] mezquitale, not on mine [03:52] deos anybody know how to make kdenlive support avi files [03:53] oh nvm, for some reason i thought it was .1 [03:53] lol o well [03:53] i have a intel 945gme grafix card [03:54] im not alone check it out https://bugs.launchpad.net/do/+bug/333708 [03:54] [[thufir]]: who is your ISP?

[03:57] mezquitale: yeah, that's quite common if you're behind a NAT [03:57] ah the command line? i didnt try it to be honest :P [03:58] but man, will that enable my D drive? [03:58] Determinist, it used to work fine though with my linksys router [03:58] Avoid the command line. It is evil and all powerful [03:58] mezquitale: i usually set up one of my machines as DMZ and run bittorrent from there. [03:58] eddy: yes it is [03:58] user111: language-support-ar might be the package for it [03:58] compiz should enable mac's genie effect by default, but noooo they gotta make us hack the .so file to enable it [03:58] Alan502: what did you try? [03:58] thanks allot ppl [03:58] got it [03:58] :D [03:58] mezquitale: too many variables, not sure what you had, but trying to lead you to a possible solution to what you're having right now. [03:58] i tried going to partition manager in windows [03:58] user111: \O/ yay! [03:59] and looking for a way to move the partition onto the one i did before [03:59] kxm: you have no /etc/resolv.conf [03:59] kxm: try sudo touch /etc/resolv.conf [03:59] man but [03:59] Alan502: - made things worse huh! [03:59] Determinist, thanks, I'll take a look into my router later but first im going to see if it works on my neighbor's wireless, what are neighbors with open wireless for? [03:59] haha but didnt find a way to do it [03:59] mdg_ :/ im confused [03:59] istarnes, it just return a shell prompt, no errors, nothing at all [03:59] going to try the command you gave [03:59] me [04:00] kxm: that means it worked [04:00] anyone have any ideas why this won't let me click forward? http://tinyurl.com/mkdbbz [04:00] but, again [04:00] kxm: in *nix, silence usually means success [04:00] mezquitale: be fair tho :) [04:00] istarnes, thank-you, but worked in doing what? [04:00] Alan502: had you played much with linux before [04:00] what will that do mdg_? im worried to screw it up [04:00] nope [04:00] istarnes: heh. [04:00] this is my first linux distribution really [04:00] the first i work with [04:00] kxm: sudo touch /etc/resolv.conf should have made an empty file at that location [04:00] Alan502: live cd or install? [04:01] i have it installed already as i told you [04:01] [[thufir]]: You can already install the packages that have been downloaded so far, just apt-get install them and if all of their dependencies are also downlaoded they will install [04:01] would you take a look at my post to see a more detailed explanation? [04:01] Alan502: sorry meant had you used a live cd? [04:01] i have [04:01] Alan502: before you installed..

[04:03] Alan502: did you resize the partition before you installed - how did you resize? [04:03] adnan: system>preferences>appearances .. visual effects. choose None [04:04] adnan: Sys>Prefs>Appearance>Visual Effects tab>None [04:04] eddy: i tried that but after rebooting compiz is enabled and nothing in the Appearance window is selected [04:04] bastid_raZor: soreau : i treid that option but it resets after reboot. [04:04] Well back to my question, the entire "grabable" or "clickable" panel ontop of each window is missing! idk what to do once i start 1 window i have to stick to it because i cant alt-tab to switch or "x" out of it [04:04] Drained: There's no need to uninstall compiz. Simply set gnome-appearance-properties to none [04:04] anyone know? [04:04] no i didnt [04:04] after reboot when i open the appearance window nothing is selected and compiz is active [04:04] resize what partition? [04:04] the D? [04:04] mdg_?

Is there a way to remap those? [04:06] oh never mind i fixed it compiz is messed up :( [04:06] Is it possible to control which tcp/udp ports users have access to starting servers on? [04:06] adnan, do you have compiz settings manager installed? [04:06] Drained: in ccsm check window decorations [04:06] eddy: yes [04:06] mdg_? [04:06] any ideas man? [04:06] adnan: Then it shouldn't be starting at all. You can chmod -X `which compiz` to ensure it never starts again [04:06] -x* [04:06] soreau: interesting [04:07] Alan502: when you try to access the D: drive - you mean from ubuntu right? [04:07] soreau: so next time i want to run compiz im gonna have to change permission i suppose [04:07] adnan, try unchecking EVERYTHING in the compiz settings manager [04:07] bastid_razor what exacly am i looking for [04:07] in ccsm [04:07] eddy: ok [04:07] adnan: Yes, and you'd have to chmod [04:07] cus that overrides anything in Appearance > Visual FX [04:07] Drained: window decorations .. check that box. [04:07] adnan: Yes, and you'd have to chmod +x /usr/bin/compiz [04:07] when i try to access the D drive from windows, i cannot open it. From ubuntu, i can, mdg_ [04:07] i know what am i looking for in there [04:07] soreau: eddy : how can i tamper with the settings of gnome- Settings Daemon [04:07] maybe there is something in there [04:07] adnan: Actually it's be better to do that to compiz.real since compiz is a script on ubuntu [04:08] Alan502: I forgot... you are trying to fix windows so you can access your D drive again right? [04:08] soreau: hmmm i c [04:08] adnan, unchecking all those settings may just do it [04:08] haha chmod -x /usr/bin/compiz may work [04:08] adnan: Also, check to see what you have in gconf-editor /desktop/gnome/required components/windowmanager? [04:08] mdg_: exactly :D [04:09] Alan502: in ubuntu your D: shows ntfs?

[04:11] yes Jordan_U [04:11] the only problem [04:11] ah if you're trying to edit boot options in vista or 7, try msconfig ... a thought [04:11] is that i cant access D [04:11] obiwan__: maybe apt-file list packagename [04:11] just remembered that handy tool :) [04:11] mdg_: thanks :) formating then? [04:12] Alan502: you might ask in #windows how to force a mount of a nonbooting ntfs partition [04:12] zooko: There may be a simpler way, but you can compile a kernel with options to panic on OOM and restart on panic [04:12] what do you mean? [04:12] thx i'll try lstarnes, what i want is to list all installed/installable packages , with apt-get [04:12] man i can boot windows [04:12] Alan502: at least so you can back up your stuff and not lose it. [04:12] but i cannot access the D drive! [04:12] obiwan__: apt-cache does that [04:12] Jordan_U: is there a prebuilt kernel with such features for Ubuntu? If not, what are the options I should look for? [04:12] windows works perefectly [04:12] how lstarnes? [04:12] and yeah i can back it up [04:12] search won't [04:12] with ubuntu [04:12] via network [04:12] apt-cache search won't lstarnes [04:12] Alan502: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:12] obiwan__: maybe apt-cache dump [04:12] Alan502, what does it say when you try to access your D drive? [04:13] brb ;) [04:13] Cant access D:\ directory damaged or ilegible. [04:13] Bastid_razor: the "X" minimize maximize "drag" panel is completley missing [04:13] zooko: I doubt there is a pre-built kernel, there is a change that it's configurable without recompiling though [04:13] zooko: s/change/chance [04:13] Does anybody knows a FiSH program called dirtirc? its for FiSH encryption for all the irc clients, im having troubles compile this. [04:13] mdg_: although form partition manager and ubuntu i can see all the files [04:13] Alan502: I used the term mount with windows - which is incorrect - I meant access the your storage drive (D:) [04:13] *from [04:13] hey guys. im haveing a problem with my pen drive. for some reason it is now read-only and i dont know how to fix it. help would be nice [04:13] Drained: in compiz the windows decoration plugin controls that. [04:13] Alan502, have you run a filesystem check on it? [04:14] Bastid_razor: i'm aware of that, but even when it's disabled that panel is missing [04:14] eddy: chkdisk? i cannot run it, because of the same error === ricesw is now known as n8tuser [04:14] Alan502: defrag? [04:14] that certainly works lstarnes , but lists all packages + info + dependancies, i just want names [04:14] bastid_razor: this is the command gtk-window-decorator --replace [04:14] Drained: it needs to be enabled in order for them to show [04:14] Jordan_U: thanks for the tips. Sounds pretty good. My next issue is "Why are there no /var/log/syslog or other log files...". [04:14] Alan502, wow what a sh*t storm [04:15] Drained: You have no decorations. First, enable the window decoration plugin then start a decorator (gtk-window-decorator --replace) [04:15] mdg_: cant defrag neither, actually it wasnt fragmented at all, i run defragmentation every friday [04:15] lstarnes, i know i can filter , but isn't there any command to just list names ? lstarnes ? :( [04:15] Alan502 -> umm you're trying to access ext3 file system from windows? do you have the ext3 driver loaded in windows? [04:15] Drained: compiz-decorator ? [04:15] so has anyone gotten splashy to work in jaunty? [04:15] obiwan__: please be patient while I look for an alternative [04:15] EVEN ON it's missing [04:15] \off or on it doesn't show [04:15] zooko: For a while I also had a dirty hack that I used for my olpc xo, I just created a script that looped checking how much free memory there was and at 90 % ( before it had the chance to become unresponsive ) triggered the kernel OOM-killer [04:15] eddy: hahaha sh*t storm? [04:15] obiwan__: I generally see things the first time you say them [04:15] /var/log is owned by root and isn't group writable. /var/log/syslog is written by a user named "syslog". How did this ever work? [04:15] Alan502, idk made it up lol [04:15] Alan502: not fragmented, but cannot ntfs partition cannot be accessed from within windows??? [04:15] Jordan_U: ;-) Sweeet. [04:16] n8tuser: no, i am trying to access an ntfs partition [04:16] Hopefully the kernel config you suggested first will work better for me. :-) [04:16] n8tuser:http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7977021#post7977021 [04:16] Alan502, but imagine a storm of flying poo every where? [04:16] obiwan__: you might have to do it through dpkg -l [04:16] pen drive is somehow now read-only. help please [04:16] i'll try in #compiz [04:16] Hm. How can I find out what went wrong such that there are no logs. I can't look in the logs to find out! :-) [04:16] zooko: It's not something I would do on a production server but I can see if I still have it ( or recreate it since it's pretty simple ) [04:16] Chips_Handon, you could add the pen drive to /fstab with rw option [04:17] ? [04:17] /etc/fstab* [04:17] mdg_? thanks for your help [04:17] dont know what you mean. not geeky enough [04:17] appreciated :d [04:17] net [04:17] Alan502 -> your statement seems confusing, you installed ubuntu on an ext3 file system and you are attempting to access it from windows? [04:17] Chips_Handon, dammit lol uhhh where to start [04:17] Alan502: people are confused because you are trying to access windows partition through windows after ubuntu install... [04:17] I wonder if it has something to do with the fact that / is a flashdrive with ext3 on it. :-( [04:17] There *is* a dmesg. [04:17] zooko: This looks promising ( read the note though ) [04:17] But not /var/log/messages or /var/log/syslog [04:17] i dont need alot [04:17] zooko: http://www.linode.com/wiki/index.php/Rebooting_on_OOM [04:17] exactly [04:18] are the commands in OSX termianl and linux terminal the exact same? [04:18] where is this /fsstab at [04:18] yo does anyone know how to get a UUID without gparted? [04:18] ScottNYC: they are different [04:18] Alan502: ask in the ##windows channel [04:18] Chips_Handon: /etc/fstab [04:18] but ubuntu its making windows not recognize the drive [04:18] ok thanks [04:18] ok [04:18] Chips_Handon, it is in /etc/fstab [04:18] is there an application I can use to edit pdf's? i'd like to add a table of contents [04:18] eddy: sudo blkid [04:18] ScottNYC: Some are exactly the same, some are completely different, and some are in between [04:18] im still learning alot [04:18] ScottNYC: but they aren't too dissimilar [04:18] cool thx [04:18] bare with me [04:18] k [04:19] can anybody give me the kdenlive channel [04:19] Alan502 -> you have to be clear, you have installed ubuntu, and ubuntu can only be installed on an ext* type.. so attempting to access that from windows is not easy [04:19] yeah lstarnes , i've found apt-cache pkgnames but that just lists installed , and in a ugly way :S dpkg -l defintely works best that that option [04:19] Chips_Handon, plug in your pendrive and run 'sudo blkid' in terminal [04:19] obiwan__: you could also try filtering the output of apt-cache using apt-cache dump | grep ^Package: [04:19] obiwan__: however, it is most direct to use dpkg -l [04:19] ok [04:19] n8tuser: no, i want to access a previously created ntfs partition with windows [04:19] ScottNYC: Many commands are actually the same code, like GNU bash, then there are things like "killall" which on linux will kill the process you pass as an argument, and on most other *NIX will kill *everything* ;) [04:19] hey im back still no luk with the wireless [04:20] copy the UUID value for /dev/sdb1 (or /dev/hdb1) [04:20] * zooko superstitiously tries creating an empty /var/log/syslog with the right ownership and permissions. [04:20] Chips_Handon, ^^ [04:20] n8tuser: it worked before ubuntu installation, but for some reason ubuntu installed in this ntf partition [04:20] k [04:20] Alan502 -> i think you are mistaken, explain how many partitions do you think you have? [04:20] n8tuse: its rare, did you look at my post? [04:20] n8tuser: i have six partitions actually [04:20] Chips_Handon, now do you know what type of filesystem your pen drive is? if not, running the previous command will tell you too [04:20] THANKS [04:20] IT WORKED [04:20] fat32 [04:20] n8tuse: three in etx3 & 2 [04:21] Alan502 -> do not attempt to keep some info, be clear please [04:21] it always worked before [04:21] yeah lstarnes , thought about that but that isn't nice because you're requesting for info you don't actually need, i'll keep with dpkg -l [04:21] MANY thanx anyway :):) [04:21] n8tuse: this is an screen capture of partition manager in windows, showing the partitions:http://imgur.com/Abge7.jpg [04:21] Alan502 -> your posting does not even describe that. so please be clear on what you have [04:21] just had problems now. might be my computer. old machine [04:21] n8tuser: blue is ntfs, yellow is etx3 and brown is etx2 [04:21] Chips_Handon, okay now add a line to ur /etc/fstab: UUID=" its working now [04:22] im good [04:22] Alan502 -> that is difficult to read, get a better snapshot [04:22] ok cool [04:22] zooko: Note though that the OOM killer really should prevent any freezes ( by killing processes until you have enough memory ), so I'm not sure what is happening [04:22] the blkid command did it [04:22] mmm [04:22] i will [04:22] Alan502: that is not an ntfs partition.. it says ext3 . no wonder you can not access it in windows [04:22] Chips_Handon, good to hear [04:22] D its an ntfs [04:22] ubuntu created and etx3 inside it apparently [04:22] its weird [04:23] how to open startup manager? [04:23] !startup [04:23] To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot === noone is now known as nobodymezquitale [04:23] funny how the solution was so simple [04:23] i think ubutnu is gonna maistream linux [04:23] GNU/LINUX!!!!!!!! [04:23] wizz, did you sudo apt-get install startupmanager? [04:23] mezquitale, youre still there? [04:23] Alan502 -> you are attempting to read from windows, it will not read ext* partition correctly unless you have the driver loaded in windows [04:23] wizz, it doesn't come with ubuntu by default [04:23] zooko: i.e. If the OOM killer is not being called it might be because you never get to a complete out of memory condition, and if so panic_on_oom won't be triggered either [04:23] Alan502 -> the snapshot you have is bogus [04:24] Jordan_U: Hm [04:24] wizz, could always just edit the /boot/grub/menu.lst file manually :-) [04:24] n8tuser: let me get a better one [04:24] that's weird, i lost connection on xchat and when I logged back in it said my nic is already in use [04:24] nobodymezquitale, it happens [04:24] n8tuse: i cannot print screen because all the programs i had installed were on D and i cannot access them [04:24] The guy who has physical access to the box at co-lo says that the terminal is full of "no more memory, can't kill process $XYZ". [04:24] does anybody know of the kdenlive channel [04:24] Alan502 -> once more, do not attempt to read linux partition from windows unless you have the correct driver to read em [04:24] i wish i could give you a cookie eddy. i planed on using my psp as a storage device. imagine taking that around!!!!! [04:24] n8tuser: there's a windows driver for that? [04:25] hello [04:25] Chips_Handon, i made cookies today, ironically [04:25] Alan502 -> you seemed to ignore what i have told you [04:25] hahaha [04:25] anyone has an idea why bit torrent clients can't connect? It looks like an isp somewhere is blocking bit torrent clients [04:25] it is a linux partition n8tuser? where can i get the driver? [04:25] Darn I still don't get logging messages in /var/log/system. :-{ [04:25] mdg_ -> i was told there is a driver for it, maybe you have to pay === JoeSomebody is now known as JoeNoLuck [04:25] nobodymezquitale: Comcast? :P [04:25] Alan502 -> -> i was told there is a driver for it, maybe you have to pay [04:26] zooko: Then panic_on_oom would work, as the kernel is at least trying to use the OOM killer. You might want to figure out why it can't kill processes though [04:26] CoJaBo-Aztec, no, i use cablevision [04:26] n8tuser: the thing is that, once again it is not a etx3 partition [04:26] Anyone alive? [04:26] n8tuse: it shows up as a ntfs [04:26] :/ ain't that always the way with windows... === JoeNoLuck is now known as JoeSomebody [04:26] !ask | Fatboy12345236 [04:26] Fatboy12345236: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily).

[04:26] while im here, can anyone help me fix my resolution on my TV with the VGA attached? [04:26] But still no log. [04:26] Alan502 -> okay, if you dispute this, can you boot into linux? [04:26] n8tuser: i can see it in my pc, while i cant see other partitions that are etx3 whole [04:26] its stuck on 640x420 or somthing likle that [04:26] n8tuser: yes i can with no problems [04:26] Chips_Handon, you'll probably have to edit the /etc/X11/xorg.conf [04:26] it might be the fact that the computer is a peice of sh** [04:27] i dont know how [04:27] last time i tried i had to reinstall [04:27] Alan502 -> then lets prove that once you get into linux, boot into linux, then type this sudo fdisk -l and then paste the results in pastebin, then we can believe you [04:27] anyone good with Xorg able to help Chips_Handon? [04:27] Alrighty, I'm trying to compile Eggdrop and It says I'm missing tlclib or something like that... [04:27] Hrm. Should I sudo apt-get install syslogd? [04:27] Alan502: are you sure the size of the D: drive is seen the same in Ubuntu and windows? [04:27] sudo gedit /etc/x11/xorg.conf Chips_Handon [04:27] Maybe that would help. :-) [04:27] Stop flooding! [04:27] ok n8tuser [04:28] Fatboy12345236: you need tcl-dev and tcl [04:28] How do I get 'em? [04:28] mdg_: i cannot see the drive size in windows [04:28] if it helps, my tv is a Sharp lcd 27inch. computer is a dell dimension 2400 [04:28] Fatboy12345236: sudo apt-get install tcl tcl-dev [04:28] vga to tv [04:28] zooko: Try typing alt+sysrq+f (WARNING COULD KILL IMPORTANT PROCESSES ) and see what exactly it can't kill, and maybe look at dmesg for more info [04:28] Alan502: not any drive sizes throught windows or just D: ? [04:28] P.S I'm on xubantu [04:28] Chips_Handon, are you trying to have dual monitor setup with this TV? [04:28] Jordan_U: I don't have console access. I'm ssh'ed in. [04:28] no [04:29] it is my main monitor [04:29] is it wise to let the Nvidia's own config tool to save to xorg.conf? [04:29] mdg_ -> geesh one can not read a linux partition from windows easily, you are not accepting of that? [04:29] hey guys im having trouble with my wireless ndiswrapper sees the device and sees its installed but i cant use it [04:29] ohhh [04:29] And the mystery I'm studying at the moment is "Why are there no logs?". [04:29] mdg_: just D [04:29] n8tuser: I asked him if he can see any partitions from within windows [04:29] mdg_: D is the only drive i am having problems with, and in windows [04:30] zooko: You can get the same effect by writing "f" to /proc/sysrq-trigger but it might kill ssh ( probably not as the killer is somewhat smart and tries to choose less important things to kill ) [04:30] mdg_: i can see only ntfs partitions, C and D [04:30] mdg_ -> he is confused and not understanding things, you kept feeding him [04:30] Jordan_U: this is to trigger the OOM killer? [04:30] zooko: Yes [04:30] Chips_Handon, just edit your xorg.conf: gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and look for the device "screen" section and edit the resolution to your desire [04:30] mmm [04:30] how can I get passed this stupid security that wont let me edit /etc files in gedit? [04:30] n8tuser: what do you want me to understand exactly? [04:30] there is nothing there [04:30] Alan502 -> then lets prove that once you get into linux, boot into linux, then type this sudo fdisk -l and then paste the results in pastebin, then we can believe you [04:30] Alan502: perhaps booting from your live USB into ubuntu and getting a screenshot of gparted would help [04:30] last time i did it did boot coorectly [04:30] i screwed it up [04:31] n8tuser: thats what i am doing [04:31] didnt* [04:31] dios_mio: alt+f2 then gksudo gedit [04:31] zooko: "echo f | sudo tee /proc/sysrq-trigger" [04:31] Alan502 -> am waiting..ill give you five minutes [04:31] thanks lstarnes [04:31] i may have to sit in the throne.. :P [04:31] -.- [04:31] awww Thanks, [04:31] n8tuser: I think we are all confused ;) [04:31] Worked! [04:31] Jordan_U: Uh, that echoed "f" to my terminal. :-) [04:31] its probably this computer [04:32] its crap [04:32] Ah, and it triggered the OOM. :-) [04:32] Chips_Handon, perhaps you need to use a different gfx driver [04:32] zooko: It also wrote it to /proc/sysrq-trigger ( man tee ). You will see a message about what it killed in dmesg [04:32] lstarnes , is it wise to let the Nvidia's own config tool to save to xorg.conf? [04:33] I know about tee, I just expected stdout from the write to /proc, which now that I say it sounds pretty dumb... [04:33] dios_mio: I'm not sure [04:33] dios_mio: I don't think I've had any issues with it, but I have not used it in a long time [04:33] lstarnes , ok thanks [04:33] Jordan_U: well, in this case it picked a good victim and killed it successfully. [04:33] maybe, but im not too familar with graphic drivers. i know were to find it, but i would have to build it. i dont know how to do things like that [04:34] I'm running Jaunty and it won't install updates/update my distribution because of medibuntu files. Should I delete those files? [04:34] Any theories why I don't have a /var/log/syslog? :-( === david_ is now known as Midnighter === jacob_ is now known as xoxo [04:34] zooko: The file doesn't exist? [04:34] if i bought a decent graphics card, do you think it would fix the resolution? the added video memory wouldnt hurt [04:35] zooko: Or just nothing in it about the OOM? [04:35] Chips_Handon: you could force the resolution? [04:35] Jordan_U: it isn't created. So I made one with the right ownership and permissions and rebooted, but nothing is written into it. [04:35] It is on / which is an ext3 on a flashdrive. [04:35] dotn know how. [04:35] can someone please help i messed with my xorg.conf file and now ubuntu wont start [04:35] zooko -> look in your /etc/syslog.conf if its declared to be used [04:35] unless it involves xorg.conf [04:36] last time i went in there i had to reinstall [04:36] n8tuser: thanks. [04:36] zooko: Also make sure syslogd is running [04:36] zooko: do you use arch or ubuntu or both or what? could swear i saw you in their channel earlier [04:36] not to mention i had to install ine safe graphic mode because the main screen would pop up [04:36] Does anyone know how to get Ctrl-alt-backspace to work again?

[04:44] n8tuser, or maybe i can try 9.10 [04:44] chunda -> why not? [04:44] Hello world. I just created a UNR USB using the `usb-imagewriter` available through the repositories. USB creation was successful but my x86 laptop reads "Boot Error" when I try to boot from that USB. [04:44] What's the difference with the "virtual" version of the kernel? [04:44] I'm running the "server" build inside my guests. Would virtual be preferred and why? [04:44] what to do [04:45] Chips_Handon: Ok, well you can try not using safe graphics mode by running "sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf-bak", but if it fails you will have to go to a terminal with ctrl+alt+f1 and restore the file with "sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf-bak /etc/X11/xorg.conf" [04:45] 640x480n on a 27 inch 16:9 sucks [04:45] Virtual-Kernel--->for virtual machines, optimized, thin [04:45] so, if i wanted the system to boot to console instead of x11, i'd just delete the /etc/init.d/x11-common file correct? [04:45] JuanCarlos: I saw that but how is it compiled differently? [04:45] Can anyone answer meh question? [04:45] n8tuser, thanks for your attention [04:45] dvsxutact: Remove GDM [04:45] GDM?

[04:46] sound question: following this article here, http://www.fusetext.com/2009/05/ubuntu-linux-creative-sound-blaster-x-fi-driver-installation-how-to/ , I was able to download the creative labs drivers for my X-Fi, but I get this error message: Error inserting ctxfi (/lib/modules/2.6.28-15-generic/kernel/drivers/ssound/ctxfi.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg) [04:47] dvsxutact: I meant /etc/invoke-rc.d/gdm [04:47] hello [04:47] chunda -> when using livecd does it work okay? [04:47] dvsxutact > and turn off? How is that gonna help?

[04:48] n8tuser, no... it had a short range problem [04:48] Can somebody tell me why 'df -h' says this? The math doesn't add up: /dev/sda7 868G 823G 1017M 100% /home [04:48] i fixed this by fixing the bitrate [04:48] cpuobsessed: it's menu.lst in non Red Hat distros [04:48] It shows Total is 868G, used is 823G, but free is only 1 GB?

Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines. Enjoy your stay! [04:58] n8tuser, yes i know that [04:58] how you figure out how to play windows based game on ubuntu desktop [04:58] gilson, check in hardware drivers (assuming you are in 9.04) [04:59] n8tuser, if i have to blame someone, i have to blame realtek [04:59] tjz: Which games? [04:59] tjz, transgaming.org [04:59] tjz, with wine [04:59] Alexia: that's not free [04:59] hey guys LDAP changed my password. I can't log in. PLEASE HELP ME?!

[05:00] sebsebseb, the question wasnt where to find a free way to play windows based games [05:00] bdigital, run lspci, i believe that will show you [05:00] gilson, did you check in hardware drivers? [05:00] bdigital -> type lshw -C network [05:00] tjz: Wine, commercial versions of it such as transgaming that are sold, or possibily a Windows virtual machine depending on game and that [05:00] How do I get rid of "Xlib: extension "Generic Event Extension" missing on display "localhost:10.0"." [05:00] Alexia: True, but I don't think many Linux users are going to pay for a commercial version of Wine [05:00] yea [05:01] i don't want pay for something [05:01] mattgyver: it shows me the brand [05:01] wine = paid??!

Transgaming offers a huge list of compatible games very few of which work out of the box with simple little WINE [05:01] ok [05:01] crossover has sources on the site, but not binaries [05:01] i will go with wine [05:01] gilson, install from package manager not a run file [05:01] ubuntu + wine = rocks [05:01] i guess [05:02] pete__: because windows is good??

[05:02] tjz: Depends on the programs you want to run, and you may need to configure some [05:02] pete__: Wine doesn't support most games lol [05:02] tjz: also with enough RAM you can virtual machine Windows inside Ubuntu [05:02] hadfa [05:02] tjz, many people think you should never pay for products in the linux world howeve when a product does exactly what it is supposed to do and offers support like transgaming does its absolutely worth it [05:02] afdfa [05:02] ddf [05:02] af [05:02] dfdsaf [05:02] mastamatt88: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[05:16] WonderfunkJones: if you have up-to-date headers, compiling it should work if it doesn't rely on newer kernel features [05:16] how do i change my resolution for good? [05:16] where do i type that? [05:16] im just tired of getting it the way i like it then i mess somthing up and then it is no good [05:16] n8tuser i mean.. from ubuntu [05:16] i can not run dailymotion videos too [05:17] into the bootable terminal? [05:17] CHIPSHANDON: in a terminal [05:17] Alan502 -> yeah thats what i meant, upon creation in windows did you attempt to store anything on it? [05:17] CHIPSHANDON: You need to do a bit more if you wan to fix it from the LiveCD though [05:17] i realize that [05:17] im trying to get cygwin ssh client to connect to my ubuntu ssh server. It connects, but im aiming for a passwordless connection, however it keeps askin for a passphrase/password [05:17] any thoughts on the ssh problem ? [05:17] i just need that comand from earlier [05:17] n8tuser: yes i stored all my data there but long before playing with ubuntu [05:17] don-ii: you need to use public key authentication using a passwordless private key [05:17] WonderfunkJones: Can you try 'make clean; make' from the source directory? and make sure there aren't any errors? [05:18] Alan502 -> and now when you are in windows, you cant access D: ? [05:18] i get sound but no video [05:18] Happy Iedul Fitri. :) [05:18] Alan502 -> did you try to access /dev/sda5 from ubuntu? mounting it first off course [05:18] mmm [05:18] lstarnes: i understand that, ive set up my laptop to connect without password, and it works great. Im trying to get my windows machine to do the same, but each time its always askin for a passphrase. [05:18] CHIPSHANDON: Does your monitor display an error? [05:18] there is nothing [05:18] i can access all drives from ubuntu n8tuser [05:18] friends i can not open facebook videoswhat cani do [05:19] i am using [05:19] blank [05:19] ubuntu 9.04 [05:19] CHIPSHANDON: You can get to a terminal with ctrl+alt+F1 [05:19] now after i generate the key, and upload it to the server, do i need to change some setting on the server, or the client ? [05:19] i know [05:19] ? [05:19] what do I have to do to enable tab-completion on apt-get? [05:19] Alan502 -> then whats the issue? [05:19] http://pnaplinux.blogspot.com [05:19] I NEED THE COMMAND YOU GAVE ME EARLIER [05:19] CHIPSHANDON: From the installed system it would be: sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf-bak /etc/X11/xorg.conf [05:19] !caps > CHIPSHANDON [05:19] CHIPSHANDON, please see my private message [05:19] refer this for your all ubuntu queries [05:19] OK [05:19] n8tuser: i cant access D from windows [05:19] SORRY [05:19] im done [05:19] n8tuser: just from ubuntu [05:19] im just mad [05:19] don-ii: you need to add the contents of ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub on the client to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys on the server [05:20] i miss my regular computer [05:20] Alan502 -> from ubuntu you can open files from /dev/sda5 with no problems ? [05:20] CHIPSHANDON: It will help a lot if you just calm down and let us help you [05:20] yes [05:20] it is only windows were i am struggling with [05:20] don-ii: the command for that on the client is cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub | ssh user@server "tee -a ~/.ssh/authorized_keys" [05:20] but i think ubuntu installation there messed it up [05:20] Alan502, haha me too [05:20] CHIPSHANDON: What did you do that broke X? [05:21] i know man. i hope the command restores it. ill do it later [05:21] talkin to my girl on this usless pidgin [05:21] soreau: X is broken when using a default ( or no ) xorg.conf [05:21] haha damn windows pete__ [05:21] CHIPSHANDON, pidgin is awesome! [05:21] kind of [05:21] Jordan_U: I see [05:21] but i thas a lot of flaws [05:21] How do I get rid of this error: "Xlib: extension "Generic Event Extension" missing on display "localhost:10.0"." [05:21] Alan502 -> i think its one of those that were not shutdown properly... [05:22] tpeden: What is giving you that message? [05:22] I'm trying to use X11 Forwarding over ssh [05:22] vbox anyone [05:22] n8tuser: so what would be the solution then? [05:22] any gui program run over ssh [05:22] Moon_Doggy: try #vbox [05:22] i know you guys arent gonna like it, but i might have to revert this machine back to XP [05:22] no luck [05:23] Moon_Doggy, start by stating the problem that you're having :) [05:23] Alan502 -> windows have chkdsk or some kind of utils to check the disk, run those [05:23] CHIPSHANDON, we don't care [05:23] bucky++ [05:23] what is happend [05:23] Alan502 -> or go to #windows to find out how [05:23] n8tuser, i think you didnt read my post, i have done all this [05:23] not my prob [05:23] n8tuser: and nothing working [05:23] thanks for the support bucky [05:23] Alan502 -> you expect me to remember everything? hehe [05:23] n8tuser: ok thanks [05:23] magicblaze0071> Am I missing something in the fstab entry: cdrive /C vboxsf rw,uid=1000,exec,nomand,users 0 0 --> Does not let user 1000 to mount this drive. [05:24] CHIPSHANDON, you get what you pay for [05:24] magicblaze0071> how do i let my users mount a vboxsf file system in linux? [05:24] who said anythng about paying [05:24] ???????? [05:24] CHIPSHANDON: Asking for support while you're frustrated is probably the worst thing you can do. Try the command that was given to you and see if it works first [05:24] Alan502 -> also since you can access them from ubuntu, you may want to try to save or backup that partition? [05:24] random thought: if you ever wanna edit /etc/sudoers make sure you can 'su root' or you'll break sudo upon giving sudoers syntax errors, forcing you to boot into livecd and fix it again [05:25] too much problems with this [05:25] to keep asking [05:25] CHIPSHANDON, i have felt that way in previous releases [05:25] CHIPSHANDON: Then why are you here? [05:25] eddy: there's a better way to add sudoers than editing that file [05:25] CHIPSHANDON: calm down, ...and dont mess with the pidgin bird ;p [05:25] to fix my screen [05:25] eddy: According to prophecy, that's why you use visudo - it'll check the syntax before commiting it. [05:25] Myrtti: Add the users to the "admin" group [05:25] CHIPSHANDON, the people here will help you, but if you are not nice they will turn against you. [05:25] n8tuser: yes i will do it i think, the thing is that i cannot even boot ubuntu now :/ [05:25] soreau: I take it you have no clue either? lol\ [05:25] n8tuser: dont know what happened [05:25] reinstall X, should fix it [05:25] im not being mean am i????? [05:26] tpeden: You never said what command gives you that message [05:26] :( [05:26] Alan502 -> thats a recent install isnt it? you can try to re-install [05:26] Jordan_U: yes, I know, it might be that eddy doesn't [05:26] soreau: any gui app run over ssh [05:26] tpeden: yes [05:26] tpeden: all GUI apps run over SSH [05:26] tpeden: Try DISPLAY=:0 appname [05:27] visudo eh, cool [05:27] tpeden: Or in your case, you might need to set DISPLAY=:10 [05:27] n8tuser: it is, i will i guess. But when i boot in live cd i can not get the graphical interface, just the ms-dos like screen [05:28] Alan502: Even if you choose safe graphics mode? [05:28] maybe a different distro would work better. any suggestions? [05:28] Alan502 -> you can install from that too.. [05:28] i was thinking of trying puppy [05:28] n8tuser: how? whats the command? [05:29] CHIPSHANDON: All distributions of linux are able to use X. Avoiding the problem isn't helping. And ubuntu is probably the easiest to use WRT X [05:29] Alan502 -> what prompt do you get? [05:29] CHIPSHANDON: btw all are Linux, the same OS, diferent apps [05:29] wrt x? [05:29] n8tuser: i just get the terminal [05:29] speak english [05:29] soreau: tried both, couldn't find that display [05:29] Alan502 -> what prompt do you get? even a terminal only. [05:29] sebsebseb: what? [05:29] CHIPSHANDON: With Reguard To [05:29] mmm [05:29] JuanCarlos: ok... [05:30] purgue and reinstall the ubuntu-desktop [05:30] ubuntu@ubuntu? [05:30] JuanCarlos: ubuntu-desktop is a dirty meta-package [05:30] it will be of no help [05:30] i just wish i could figure out this resolution problem [05:30] well X [05:30] Alan502 -> umm i cant recall, but try /sbin/install [05:30] ok thanks :D [05:30] tpeden: What do you want to do? [05:31] I'm running Jaunty and it won't install updates/update my distribution because of medibuntu files. Should I delete those files? [05:31] CHIPSHANDON: You haven't even tried the solution given to you yet because you're admittedly using the live cd [05:31] hey all [05:31] because i messed up my current installation [05:31] !welcome | jimbeam12 [05:31] jimbeam12: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines. Enjoy your stay! [05:31] tpeden: Does 'ps ax|grep X' show X is in fact running? [05:31] anyone know what the default setting is for the sources.list [05:31] and btw n8tuser, do you know any program that can make a virtual cd burner drive? to create a factory recovery dvd with the utility the laptop came with... (it does not have a drive) [05:31] soreau: The "solution" was to try using a default Xorg.conf, it failed to he had to revert back to his vesa xorg.conf [05:32] id try to do it nao, but im talking to my girl. [05:32] sebsebseb: I'm trying to run gvim or redcar from my ubuntu server over ssh to edit some files using X11 Forwarding, but I get this error: Xlib: extension "Generic Event Extension" missing on display "localhost:10.0". [05:32] thanks jordan [05:32] soreau: For some reason X isn't working with the intel driver [05:32] soreau: it's a headless box [05:32] Jordan_U: Why don't you have him pastebin X log? [05:32] tpeden: can't really help with that [05:32] !server | tpeden [05:32] tpeden: 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.

There's your problem.. you can't ssh into a headless box not running X and try to run applications from it. If X was running on the box, running the application while ssh'd in would run it on that box, not the one you're ssh'ing from [05:33] tpeden: np good luck [05:34] Is there a program in the current repos that allows for remastering an current installation? [05:34] tpeden: ssh -X remote-user@remote-server-ip gvim [05:34] the driver doesnt work right [05:34] soreau: I am not sure if it's easiest to have him fix his install and then pastebin, or walk him through mounting his root partition and pastebinning from the LiveCD [05:34] i forgot the name [05:34] JuanCarlos: got that far thanks :-P [05:34] CHIPSHANDON: Can you pastebin /var/log/Xorg.1.log or Xorg.0.log.old, which ever one talks about (INTEL)? [05:34] Alan502 -> am not comprehending, you have a copy of the or you want to copy which? [05:34] i have no idea [05:35] what the hell you just sadi [05:35] said* [05:35] Jordan_U: Well try to get an X log for the failed intel session [05:35] well, going to write my mid semester exam in 1/2 hr ^_^ [05:35] Hey, anyone used e17 before with ubuntu [05:35] * pshr_ ...

[05:36] 9.01 I think [05:36] the latest one [05:36] kamen1: ah you mean only e17 in the repo and no e16? [05:37] well I have e16 and I want e17 [05:37] is there any way to allow ubuntu to run a program as root without typing in a password? [05:37] Alright, got things mostly working... except I need athfmwdl.inf to use my wireless adapter (TEW444-UB) apparently, yet I can't even seem to find it on my Windows partition [05:37] !info enlightment [05:37] Package enlightment does not exist in jaunty [05:37] i want to be able to turn off/on my wireless without putting in a password [05:37] !info e17 [05:37] Package e17 does not exist in jaunty [05:37] echosystm: add a NOPASSWD exception in /etc/sudoers [05:37] cheers [05:37] echosystm: Yes, but you need to be very carefull about security and not breaking your system [05:37] that's too bad [05:38] kamen1: it is in the repo one of them [05:38] so you can do this for one program only? [05:38] obviously i dont want to do it for everything [05:38] kamen1: and maybe there's a ppa for an even later version [05:38] hi gn [05:38] what's a ppa [05:38] !ppa > kamen1 [05:38] bruenig: Please don't suggest that without warning [05:38] kamen1, please see my private message [05:38] echosystm -> what you mean by that, you can turn off the interface if thats what you mean [05:38] !info enlightenment [05:38] Package enlightenment does not exist in jaunty [05:38] i dont maen through network manager [05:39] i mean through iwconfig [05:39] kamen1: a kind of mini repo in a way, but not that supported, and then you can get later versions of programs [05:39] echosystm -> you can turn it of via ifdown [05:39] kamen1: normalley they are on launchpad as well [05:39] nono, i mean ACTUALLY turn it off [05:39] kamen1: and then you add a ppa for the program you want, if there is one [05:39] meh [05:40] echosystm -> whats the difference? [05:40] saves battery if you turn it off properly [05:40] echosystm -> then you can unload the driver [05:40] kamen1: and you can probably compile e16 from source [05:40] but not all wifi cars allow it [05:40] is this command gonna put it back in safe graphics mode? [05:40] !who | echosystm [05:40] echosystm: 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 :) [05:40] CHIPSHANDON: Yes [05:41] ok [05:41] n8tuser: iwconfig ethX power off < this actually turns the chipset off entirely [05:41] echosystm -> okay, you already knew the command, so why not do it? [05:42] to be sure it is, sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf-bak /etc/X11/xorg.conf [05:42] CHIPSHANDON: Make sure you remember to capitalize the "X" ( /etc/X11/xorg.conf ) [05:42] i know [05:42] it needs to be run as root and i was just wasking how i can do this without putting in a password [05:42] look above [05:42] why isn't there a version of e17 for the latest version of ubuntu? [05:42] CHIPSHANDON: Yes [05:42] i already have the answer (see above) [05:43] echosystm -> networking is a system resource that require a root access, so you need a root priviledge to turn it on/off [05:43] when do i press ctr alt dlt for the terminal. i was just pressing untill it popped up [05:43] n8tuser unless you modify sudo... which you can and i am doing right now ;) [05:43] last time that is [05:43] well then, how do I get internet to work on e16 [05:43] echosystm -> yes you can put the user as member of networking group [05:44] good night, and good luck [05:44] echosystm -> and you can put command specific to a user in sudoers file [05:44] CHIPSHANDON: When you hear the login sound, you can also choos "recovery mode" at boot to go strait to a terminal [05:45] Does anyone know how to get CGI working with webfsd?

[06:29] !dontzap [06:29] To re-enable the Ctrl+Alt+Backspace combination that restarts your X server, you can install the "dontzap" package and use the command « sudo dontzap --disable ». The combination Alt+SysRq+K can also be used to obtain a similar effect. [06:29] THERE it is. [06:29] brbGuest53116: : Hmmm, open a Terminal "Applications>Accesories>Terminal" type pidgin , does it say anything weird? I really don't know why it wouldn't even run... === brbGuest53116 is now known as brb [06:30] Linux command question: I inserted Ubuntu live CD & wanna copy C: drive /media/disk to USB-connected Fujitsu_HD /media/Fujitsu. Can I copy all contents of C: with cp /media/disk/ * -rf /media/Fujitsu ? === brb is now known as Guest10487 [06:31] xwin you should be able too [06:31] cp -rf /media/disk/* /media/Fujitsu [06:32] anyone know the TTY command to restart X? [06:32] Drained: if you're using gdm, sudo invoke-rc.d gdm restart [06:33] Drained: sudo invoke-rc.d gdm restart [06:33] Which gui uses the least resources? [06:33] thanks guys. [06:33] digifor: X with no window managers [06:33] xitkey it said nothing [06:33] Digifor: try Versa [06:33] Beast (an audio program) isn't recognizing my PCM device (though all other sound stuff is working). How do I fix this? [06:33] i want to install 9.10 on a netbook using unetbootin, but all i get after unetbootin completes is a few bootloader files on my usb drive ... any ideas? [06:33] digifor: openbox and fluxbox are rather lightweight [06:33] !flash [06:33] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [06:33] I login 'sudo xterm &' then 'cd /media/Fujitsu' then 'cp /media/disk * -rf /media/Fujitsu' and looks like copying still ungoing... [06:34] ever since i upgraded to FF 3.5, i have flash problems :P [06:34] Vttr: that's what's supposed to happen [06:34] irc://irc.ubuntu.com.cn [06:34] vttr: #ubuntu +1 for help testing 9.10 [06:34] Drained: but i do not see the iso contents [06:34] Chen_long: I think you want to use /join #ubuntu-cn [06:34] lstarnes, I was thinking along those lines. x without a window manager might be a challenge :) [06:34] Guest10487: ... that shouldn't happen try 'pidgin -d' [06:34] vttr: because it wouldn't be the same type of format i would assume... it's a flash drive [06:34] on reboot i get an empty menu called default [06:34] dwm probably uses the least resources [06:34] digifor: twm? [06:35] Beast (an audio program) isn't recognizing my PCM device (though all other sound stuff is working). How do I fix this? [06:35] its saying command not found [06:35] Drained: on 9.04 it fills up the drive with 700 mb of iso files ... but with 9.10 it doesnt [06:35] vttr: how did you use unetbootin did you use the selectable menu and let it download on it's own, or did you use your own iso? [06:35] bdigital: oh i assumed he wanted something useable [06:35] Guest10487: are you using it without the ' marks? [06:35] i downloaded the iso myself [06:35] thanks DigitalKiwi and bdigital googling those and versa [06:35] I just asked this in the fluxbox channel but I have fluxbox installed with xgl in 9.04 but I am having the problem that when I maximize windows that it spans all my monitors. Does anyone know how to fix this issue? [06:35] ZoeyMarie: run the program from Terminal, to see whats wrong [06:35] vttr: have you tried to re-do it? sometimes kinks in the process mess up. [06:35] yes [06:35] JuanCarlos, I already did. You want me to pastebin it? [06:36] vttr: Well, i'm stummped i don't know what to tell ya.. [06:36] ZoeyMarie: also try --verbose or --debug parameters [06:36] i used it but it still the same [06:36] anyone know where can i get support on unetbootin? === Igorot is now known as Knightlust [06:36] digifor: any particular reason you want extremely low resources? there are a few other lightweight window managers which are awesome as well [06:36] or any other way to get Koala on a usb bootable drive? [06:36] Guest10487: you typed pidgin-d ? [06:37] JuanCarlos: do I type "parameters" or is there something I should put there? :/ [06:37] its still the same [06:37] beast --verbose or beast --debug [06:38] join #xgl [06:38] ubottu: unetbootin [06:38] scap: /join #xgl [06:38] 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 [06:38] Koala on a usb bootable drive, with Koala CD [06:38] I wanna multiboot Ubuntu 9 with XP Pro in my HP Pavilion DV2000 laptop 80GB, how big is the Ubuntu installation? [06:38] JuanCarlos: yes [06:38] lstarnes, lol yea i got it [06:39] xwin: at least 4Gb for ubuntu install [06:39] i have the ISO [06:39] xwin: about 4 GB, but you will most likely need more than that if you use it often [06:39] JuanCarlos: I tried both, and neither is giving me info. on the PCM error.... I tried beast --bse-debug=pcm and it'll spit out a bunch of PCM garble... but I don't know what it is. [06:39] anyone knows if you can download the beta version using ftp? [06:40] JuanCarlos: his excellency { just kidding } thanks... [06:40] !Beast [06:40] Sorry, I don't know anything about Beast [06:40] :( [06:40] what? [06:41] download bt ? [06:41] JuanCarlos: just kidding. you're not king of Spain? :-( [06:41] ZoeyMarie: Beast is not supported by Ubuntu, maybe you can try beast developers support [06:41] There is some info on the errors that I'm getting, but it's not very informative... [06:42] It comes prepackaged on ubuntustudio.. [06:42] What's the command line command to check a file or folder's current read/write settings? [06:42] JuanCarlos: I have no idea where to look for support except here (since it was packaged with ubuntustudio) [06:43] myownserver: ls -la [06:43] myownserver: ls -l [06:43] Thank you. [06:43] weird, i dont find it on repos :( [06:43] brb... [06:44] shrugs. :( [06:44] im king of Localhost domain [06:44] hi does unetbootin usb creator support karmic koala alpha 5? all i get after giving it the iso i downloaded is the bootmanager ... and no koala contents on usb drive.. any ideas? [06:44] vttr: use the built-in [06:45] vttr: Koala got his own USB creator [06:45] JuanCarlos: what builtin ... i do not have a cd drive .. this is a netbook [06:45] my sytem specs are atom330 dual core processor, gma 950 video, will this run compiz at 1080p resolution?(1920x1080) [06:45] Anyone know how to remove the force quit window from my screen? [06:45] JuanCarlos: ? [06:46] I used the force quit app to kill a program and now the instruction window is stuck on screen [06:46] I just bought a Hawking HWDN2 Directional Wireless N antenna that uses the RT2870 chipset. Where can I find drivers for it? Ive tried Google and found mostly frustrations. [06:46] vttr: i got netbook too, i build my USB flash drive with the iso and virtualbox-ose, booting from the iso, build the usb drive [06:46] amites: ps aux check process id and then kill -9 1234 where 1234 is the process id [06:46] vttr: can you try it with something a little less bleeding edge than karmic alpha? [06:46] you got OS on the netbook? [06:47] losher: it works well with 9.04 [06:47] JuanCarlos: yes both windows and ubuntu 9.04 [06:47] cabaro: I don't know what the process is named [06:47] vttr: use a VM [06:47] JuanCarlos: does virtualbox support usb devices ? last time i tried it gave me a headache :) [06:47] amites: what is the offending program? [06:48] vttr: sun's version does [06:48] from virtualbox.org yes, from repos no [06:48] How come Ubuntu leave intricate patterns of thread in the hems of my denim when when I step on the pedal? [06:48] "force quit" button from the panel [06:48] amites: you could try top c [06:48] dont install the vm, only boot [06:48] ok JuanCarlos [06:48] so boot from iso in virtualbox and click usb creater? then what? [06:49] usb creator = unetbootin? [06:49] Never mind, I found the drivers: http://www.ralinktech.com/support.php?s=2 [06:49] scott: I think you have ubuntu confused with an embroidering apparatus of some sort [06:49] oh. [06:50] I was wondering why I couldn't get my iPOD to work. [06:50] I booted Ubuntu 9.4 live CD and wanna install Ubuntu. Is there way to resize 66 GB partition while booted on Ubuntu live CD to reallocate Ubuntu install? [06:50] usb creator = Koala USB [06:50] amites: try xkill [06:50] Hi [06:50] JuanCarlos: it's usually called karmic, not koala [06:50] xwin: install,use gparted. [06:51] Choppy performance of Flash Player 10 at fullscreen playback [06:51] alright JuanCarlos ... i dont believe i am installing virtualbox on my netbook lol [06:51] good times [06:51] any idea on this to get rid of it [06:51] Thanks everyone. Catch me in #tahoe. [06:51] deena: try Blachbit [06:52] deena: I don't know any any version of flash player on any version of ubuntu that performs properly in fullscreen mode [06:52] deena: Bleachbit [06:52] Is anyone capable of helping me with my sound issue? [06:52] hey one more thing .. is there anything bad/ broken in the 64 bit version of karmic .. i should be aware of ? like does flash/ java work? [06:52] yup\] [06:52] sayed: What's going on? [06:52] Do any of you know how to get a free version of Crossover Pro? [06:52] vttr: someone in #ubuntu+1 likely knows [06:52] shawn_: you can't [06:52] tnx lstarnes [06:53] there no free v erwionn [06:53] scott: Fresh install of Ubuntu on my laptop, everything from the media buttons to the function keys to the webcam works and the sound devices are detected however I'm hearing no sound whatsoever. [06:53] Steil: I know you can because Ive had it before [06:53] vttr: im on Koala, Java OK, Flash OK [06:53] shawn_: Thats called software piracy,, [06:53] w [06:53] [06:53] !piracy | shawn_ [06:53] shawn_: piracy discussion and other questionably legal practices are not welcome in the Ubuntu channels.

[06:53] vttr: karmic support is on #ubuntu+1 I think [06:54] all from repos [06:54] ubottu I didnt pirate it.... A friend gave me a link to his corporate website which had it for download or something [06:54] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [06:54] Ah [06:54] ok ty .. ok losher i am in that room .. but this room is more responsive :) [06:54] sayed: There's a couple things we could try. Try installing "pavucontrol" from the repositories. [06:54] Crossover sources are free to download from the site last time i check it [06:54] I just need some way to install microsoft word on linux [06:54] Ive done it before fine [06:55] sayed: You might have to select your audio device from that application. [06:55] shawn_: Try PlayOnLinux [06:55] shawn_: it might work in wine or crossover [06:56] scott: Installing [06:56] brb, now installing Ubunrtu 9 in my HP Pavilion DV2109NR... [06:56] brb [06:56] scott: So I just run pavucontrol from the command line? [06:56] i installed many times office 2003 with playonlinux, works ok [06:56] sayed: Yep, and it should open the application [06:56] scott: I get an error message "connection failed: connection refused" [06:57] sayed: Hrmmm... [06:57] sayed: Okay, let's go to "System" >> "Preferences">> "Sound" [06:58] Done [06:58] sayed: Already tried that? [06:58] scott: I mean I'm there [06:58] shawn_: reported to work in wine -- http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=10 [06:59] sayed: Oh, okay. Try selecting your actual device instead of "auto detect" [07:00] scott: Yep, nothing but silence [07:00] Should I just install wine then> [07:00] sayed: What's the model of your laptop? === fernando is now known as Guest41643 [07:00] shawn_: I don't know if anyone has said this already, but why not just migrate to OpenOffice? [07:00] scott: HP dv6, amd64 [07:00] we need to use a minimal linux installation across our labs for chip bringup. the chip has a very simple driver that does read/write to the register space based on user mode requests. the bulk of the driver logic is in a user mode app(this is not a production driver so security is not a concern). [07:01] Teclys: Because it doesnt have all the same features [07:01] I m exploring if the kernel mode driver can be written such taht it works across a large spectrum of kernel versions such taht people can install whatever distribution they need and just load this driver [07:01] scott: Hold on, I'll get the exact model, one second [07:01] shawn_: what features doesn't it have that you need? [07:01] Teclys: Thing such as the automatically updating table of contents and small things like that [07:02] shawn_: ah okay, i've never done such a thing on either MS or OO. definitely go with wine. it should work perfectly [07:02] Alrighty is WIne free [07:02] scott: DV6-1264CA [07:02] shawn_: yes [07:02] sayed: Was it working in Ubuntu before? And if so, which build:? [07:03] scott: No, brand new laptop [07:03] shawn_: start with wine as it's free. If that doesn't work, you can start spending money on more expensive solutions...

[07:11] <^mNotIntelligent> having problem with resume from disk on dell studio 1555 jaunty , any idea on that? [07:12] causasui: not very easially from what ive read.. [07:12] Dr_Willis: What have you read? [07:12] ^mNotIntelligent: how much RAM do you have? And how much swap? [07:12] causasui: nautilus is also in charge of the default desktop/icons.. so if you are not carefull you still end up launchingit. [07:13] causasui: what do you want to change it to? [07:13] causasui: i looked up that 'how to change default file manager in gnome' on the forums and google.. and found a lot of info .. that boiled down to ' this sort of works.. but i had issues' [07:13] losher: konqueror, which is already installed and working [07:13] causasui: i saw some scripts that were supposed to change it to/from konqueror. === adam is now known as Guest21381 [07:13] Dr_Willis: Where?

[07:15] Hi, since I connected to a server using sftp, Ubuntu keeps asking me for the password to my private ssh key every time I log in and every time I open the file browser. How can I turn that off? [07:15] Dr_Willis: Well, thanks for your help I guess, but that doesnt do me much good then [07:15] Igramul: does the server have your public key in your ~/.ssh/authorized_keys ? [07:15] ^mNotIntelligent: my understanding is that for suspend/resume, the swap partition must be equal or greater to the size of RAM, since it basically copies RAM to swap when it suspends... [07:15] how do i install winetrix 2.0 on ubuntu? [07:16] use synaptic [07:16] lstarnes, yes - but I do not want to connect to the server at all, e.g. all I want is to access my USB drive. [07:16] Dr_Willis: I'm trying to do that for fun, but found it irritates my eyes. Just wondering if there are any configuration that can help [07:16] <^mNotIntelligent> losher, quite possible, but when i did a fresh install of jaunty a month ago it was working fine...then something went wrong...i've not done any changes to swap space either [07:17] i have a machine running 9.10 alpha 3, is there an easy way to upgrade to alpha 5? [07:17] ^mNotIntelligent: dunno then, sorry... [07:17] Dr_Willis: have any idea? [07:17] <^mNotIntelligent> losher, no probs...thanks [07:17] Teclys: what does lsb_release say your version is? [07:17] Teclys: sorry, lsb_release -a [07:17] Igramul: I'm not sure how to do that. you likely have to remove that from your automount settings or something like that [07:18] karmic countdown banner serie 2 ready :) [07:18] Istarnes: unfortunately I just shut that machine down haha. ill reboot it in a bit [07:19] i have an issue regarding my ubuntu server, it has 4 onboard gigabit lan ports, when it is booting it hangs on the network portion, i have to press ctrl+alt+del and it skips and continues [07:19] Teclys: I think it updates whenever you do a package update [07:19] however my internet works fine once i'm logged into the computer [07:19] how could i go about diagnosing this, using ssh, without rebooting the machine, lol [07:19] zhjiang: once up a time I used to dial in using a vt100 and a 2400 baud modem, and was the envy of my friends because I could work at home. But really, having multiple xterms is such a blessing that I wouldn't give it up 'for fun'. I don't run a desktop though... [07:19] ahh okay, thank you [07:19] zhjiang: set a differnt font, and the frambuffer freature of the console can set up higher res/different sized fonts. === aff2 is now known as lord_daemon [07:19] does anyone know what the annotate, splash and benchmark utilities do? [07:20] lstarnes, maybe the file browser connects to all bookmarks for some weird reason... [07:20] zhjiang: also learn to use screen. and theres some other 'terminal multiplexer' tool for the console thats worth checking out. [07:20] splash does the splash screen [07:20] benchmark do hardware benchmarks [07:20] can anyone tell me where i can find xorg.conf [07:21] Drained: /etc/X11/xorg.conf usually [07:21] Drained, /etc/X11 [07:21] vraa_: it's hard to diagnose network problems when you're logged in over the network via ssh. Ideally, you need console access... [07:21] thanks guys [07:21] JuanCarlos: What about the annotate plugin? Thanks [07:21] yes that makes sense, it's just i wasnt at my workstation, had a few hrs to kill, was wondering if anyone knew what might've been the issue [07:21] it makes it difficult to do "apt-get update && apt-get upgrade" remotely [07:22] because when the restart happens, it does not get back successfully [07:22] hello everyone [07:22] hi [07:22] guys is this correct [07:22] Section "Device" [07:22] Identifier "Configured Video Device" [07:22] Driver "nvidia" [07:22] EndSection [07:22] Drained: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:22] my ubuntu changes resolution when starting up.. i hate it.. how can i make it start with 1024x768 from the very start? [07:23] vraa_: from the *console*, I would start by doing /etc/init.d/network restart and see if it runs... [07:23] lol === jason is now known as Guest54750 [07:23] okay then i shall have to do that in the morning [07:23] how do i install winetrix 2.0 on ubuntu? [07:23] winetricks? [07:23] vraa_: tonight, you could check the /etc/network/interfaces file and see what it says to do with the interfaces [07:24] Dr_Willis: I'm using fbterm, it seems I can set font, and size, etc.. But I don't feel it helps. The problem is if I set brightness to low, I can't see things clearly because it's too dark, but if I set brightness higher, my eyes get hurt after a while. Wondering in old days, how programmers tolerate black screen without GUI [07:24] Blast off. Nuke it from orbit. [07:24] !moo [07:24] Sorry, I don't know anything about moo [07:24] <^mNotIntelligent> losher, one more information regarding that suspend/resume prob: when i resume i noticed that if some audio or video was running i can still listen the audio even the key for baklight keyboard works fine..just the monitor is off...so i guess resume is not able to switch on the display after resume, any thoughts? [07:24] lol [07:25] http://pastebin.com/m39bad4cc - i have to learn how to decipher that so give me a few minutes as i do some googling [07:25] ^mNotIntelligent: sorry, you need someone smarter than me to solve that... [07:26] just type lsb_release-a [07:26] for winetricks [07:26] vraa_: I only see config for eth2 via dhcp. Are the other interfaces even being used? Try: sudo ifconfig -a [07:27] Anthrax: Winetricks is a bash script, it does not install [07:27] Anthrax: just run it [07:27] its not finding it [07:27] zhjiang: i used to work on amigas with interlace mode.. and a refresh rate of 30 :) - You wimpy kids these days.. heh.. [07:27] i think i typed it wrong [07:27] hi [07:27] http://pastebin.com/m1a421cf9 -- it seems like eth2 is the one that is plugged in [07:27] zhjiang: back in the day of using a TV for the monitor. [07:28] is this the adequate help channel for eeebuntu? [07:28] Shoot, Well sometimes X messes up with kernel upgrades right? how do i fix it? Soreau helped me earlier but it messed up again [07:28] chmod +x ./winetricks ; sh ./winetricks [07:28] I'm sorry Dr_Willis. Did we step on your lawn? [07:29] bionicjoe: :) and turn down that music! :) [07:29] can anyone tell me the equivilent to ipconfig on ubuntu terminal? [07:29] Drained: ifconfig [07:29] Drained: If you have any issues with compiz, please ask in #compiz [07:29] Drained: ifconfig [07:29] thanks [07:29] zhjiang: sounds like eyestrain. Have your vision checked, use a larger font, and try different colors... [07:30] it's not compiz tho soreau :D it's nvidia's driver :3 [07:30] can someone please help me reinstall my sound to the way it was when i upgraded to 9.04? [07:30] Drained: We tend to help a lot with driver issues in #compiz since they need to be installed correctly as a prerequisite for compiz [07:30] i need to reinstall the sound drivers or config files :S [07:31] vraa_: the unused interfaces should probably be configured to be 'down'. Sorry, dunno how you do that in the interfaces file.... [07:31] losher: I found all other bg colors on tty sucks, black is slightly better. I don't have much choice. Only eight of them. === crash1hd1 is now known as crash1hd [07:32] well, Ill ask anyway. I have an integrated 3g modem. when I use Network Manager to create a new configuration, I choose NTTdocomo, which is my isp. I assume it sets the right configurations for this isp. then when connecting it disconnects itself imediately. I have pin code on. may it be this the issue? [07:32] zhjiang: doesn't sound like fun to me... [07:32] my bluetooth mouse isnt working even though it's listed under 'Known Devices' in Bluetooth Preferences. [07:33] Bluetooth is the greatest tech ever. And never ever fails [07:33] losher: you will be fun if it can be solved......I'm that kind of jerk who wishes to throw away X completely...Because that's very cool [07:33] ToastedSalad: What mouse? [07:33] microsoft 5000 [07:34] losher: sorry, typo, "it will be fun if it can be solved' [07:34] ToastedSalad: "sudo aptitude install bluez-compat" [07:35] ToastedSalad: Then -- "sudo hidd --search" [07:35] zhjiang: why stop at X? Might as well stop using electricity too.... [07:35] ccfontes: Would you mind filing a bug report? [07:36] Can't create HID interrupt channel: Connection refused [07:37] ToastedSalad: Uh.. Hold the mouse button -- Making a connection and stuffs. [07:37] !10.04 [07:37] Sorry, I don't know anything about 10.04 [07:37] !10.04 is Lucid Lynx [07:37] ccfontes: If you are, you can file a bug report with standard information for the developers with "ubuntu-bug network-manager" [07:37] leaf-sheep: what are you talking about! [07:38] ToastedSalad: The silly Bluetooth button. Hold it down. [07:38] you mean the button that broadcasts the device's presence? === vraa_ is now known as vraa [07:39] how do i paste multiple lines of code on irc?

[07:39] sarthor: use pastebin, or paste.ubuntu.com [07:39] ToastedSalad: Sure. Bluetooth. Yes. Connecting. Try the hidd --search command when it's flashing. [07:40] losher: good point. I don't why myself. Just wish to be able to do everything using command. And get ride of unnecessary parts. I guess I'm a strange person then. [07:40] Can't create HID interrupt channel: Connection refused [07:40] is there some special step I have to take to get PCMCIA working in ubuntu? I just plugged in a wifi card, and lspci lists it, but there's not new device when I do iwconfig [07:40] zhjiang: I think it was a fine idea up till it started giving you a headache, at which point it turned into a liability... [07:41] the strangest thing just popped up in the terminal... http://yfrog.com/09iwillcontractararediseap [07:41] Hawaiian_Eskimo: That's a fortune [07:41] <^mNotIntelligent> crazy6, does the system load correspoding frimware? check using dmesg [07:41] Type the command fortune to get one [07:41] i don't like my fortune :( [07:42] Ben64 ok i have pasted it on paste.ubuntu.com. now what shouuld i do? paste it directly in the text box here?

[07:48] heartbeats: A) how did you get python 3.1? and B) why aren't you using 2.6? [07:48] <^mNotIntelligent> crazy6, try googling the firmware/driver for your h/w and load that manually using modprobe [07:49] ToastedSalad: Okay. You have the supported package for your mouse. Now you have to figure out how to connect with it. Just try it. Really. [07:50] losher: I have another problem. When I swith from X/tty to tty/X, the brightness of my monitor suddenly drops to very low. I have to adjust it myself. It drops again after I do another switch. Have any ideas? [07:50] leaf-sheep: it isn't that kind of a button, all you have to do is press it once and the connection light flashes green-red-green-red [07:50] hey... how do i switch virtual work spaces, whats the shortcut [07:50] ^mNotIntelligent : are u familiar with nvidia drivers for ubuntu, i have a small problem [07:50] ToastedSalad: Right.

[07:55] kannan01: no [07:55] sarthorks: I notice there's a 'filename too long' message at the end of all that goop. I wonder if it's a bug in your proxy? [07:55] omy darn i got a virus on a linux system..nooooooooo [07:55] kannan01: in order to prevent race conditions and possible conflicts, the apt/dpkg system was designed to only allow one package manager to perform operations at once [07:56] ankit_ : 8400 series [07:56] hmm [07:56] ankit_ : 8400 series,64mb card,hp pavillion dv 2601 tx laptop [07:56] update manager is a front-end to apt-get [07:56] Hello, I did a fresh install of ubuntu. I moved my folders from external hard drive, but they're all locked, it will take too long to manuel set the permissions [07:56] lstarnes: tnx [07:56] losher:i guess the problem lies with the fact that it says something like "action_taken=block,category=games". i cannot access that download link directly because it is blocked here. i thought wget would help me get over it. is that not possible? [07:57] jimbeam12: a virus is unlikely. Please supply details... [07:57] Ignostic:no it won take that long [07:57] Ignostic: chown $USER --verbose --recursive /path/to/folders/you/need/to/change [07:57] pradeep, 65 gbs will [07:57] Ignostic: yeah:-) it will now [07:58] ankit_ : there? [07:58] Ignostic: chmod --verbose --recursive +w /path/to/folders/you/need/to/change [07:58] Thanks JuanCarlos, let me try [07:58] pradeep wht drivers u installed.. [07:58] Ignostic : chmod -R 777 /path/ [07:58] JuanCarlos, is it possible to just do the whole home folder? [07:58] used the repository drivers or downloaded frm nvidia [07:59] ankit_ yes [07:59] <_genuser_> Hello People. [07:59] Ignostic: take care, but yes [07:59] <_genuser_> having an issue mounting a network mount. [07:59] ok, thanks [07:59] ankit_ one which was there in repository,nvidia 180 something [07:59] sarthorks: it depends who is doing the blocking. If it's at the proxy then I don't see what you can do about it. It *does* look like a game, and it's a huge download. So maybe you shouldn't be doing this at work.... [07:59] pradeep: i think u should try to remove the drivers and re compile them [07:59] <_genuser_> says wrong fs type. [08:00] Ignostic: with these command all files are yours and with read/write permissions [08:00] pradeep: problem lies in the drivers.. its a typical problem associated with driver conflict [08:00] losher: yeah ;) . anyway i found a direct link to the download which *does* open. so hurray! thanks! [08:00] ankit_ I removed them and installed again, but the problem was there [08:00] how do you remove sfwdeck? [08:01] er sfwdec* [08:01] <_genuser_> any ideas? [08:01] pradeep: probably u should try some other operating system.. which might solve your problem [08:01] <_genuser_> how to mount a nfs share? [08:01] ankit_ i love ubuntu [08:01] _genuser_: how are you trying to mount it currently? [08:02] ankit_ i can manage but don have compiz effects that's all [08:02] leaf-sheep: are you here? [08:02] any one knows how to automount my other partitions when ever i login [08:02] <_genuser_> losher: using sudo mount 192.168.1.3:/raidshare /mnt/raid [08:02] JuanCarlos, it seemed to have done the trick, so thanks [08:03] pradeep, i didn't try yours but I'm sure it would of worked [08:03] bye [08:03] <^mNotIntelligent> pradeep, add them to /etc/fstab [08:03] Ignostic: bye [08:03] Ignostic: np [08:03] _genuser_: what protocol are ytou using for the remote share? [08:03] *you [08:03] ToastedSalad: Hmm? [08:03] Hey all. I want to compile a vanilla kernel from kernel.org on Kubuntu. Will I loose the ability to install the nvidia-proprietary drivers or experience any other issues? [08:03] leaf-sheep: are you still helping me? [08:03] ^mNotIntelligent, how? [08:03] Speed3: custom kernels aren't official supported [08:03] <_genuser_> lstarnes: remote computer is sharing the same share over nfs and samba. [08:03] ToastedSalad: Sure. Did you try turning off and on the mouse? [08:04] yes [08:04] _genuser_: whieh are you going to use? [08:04] *which [08:04] lstarnes: OK, I understand that. If I do it, what are the "consequences"? I've been using Linux for 10+ years and always compile my own vanilla kernels. [08:04] _genuser_: the command looks ok. What's the output when you run it? [08:04] ToastedSalad: Same HID interrupt? [08:04] <^mNotIntelligent> pradeep, somethng like this: /dev/sda3 /media/OS ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_IN 0 0 , replace /media/OS with your mount poitn and /dev/sda3 with your partition number and you're done [08:04] Speed3: the packages always assume that you are using the kernel packages that come with ubuntu [08:05] <_genuser_> lstarnes: either is fine. Normally, just the command works fine. It picks either or. I have also specified -t nfs at the end. Doesn't like it. [08:05] is there a way to reinstall your kernel? [08:05] leaf-sheep: ha! it finally worked [08:05] Speed3: differences between your kernel and the version that ubuntu uses may cause breakage [08:05] ^mNotIntelligent, ty [08:05] leaf-sheep: how do I make this permanent? [08:05] like reinstall it as if your were upgrading from 8.10 to 9.04? [08:05] <_genuser_> losher: maybe wrong versions of nfs and samba? [08:05] ToastedSalad: That HID Interrupt is weird. Something that shouldn't happening... unless you tried many things at once. [08:06] ToastedSalad: It should already be permanent now. [08:06] _genuser_: do you have nfs-common installed? [08:06] tried many things at once? [08:06] <_genuser_> lstarnes, didn't install it specifically. default kubuntu install. [08:06] ToastedSalad: Basically you tried to connect/disconnect/unknown with Bluetooth. [08:07] _genuser_: can't speak for samba, but unless client and server are from very different eras, nfs incompatibility is unlikely [08:07] how can I stop Ubuntu from making a fat beep every time I do anything? [08:07] <_genuser_> my distro upgrade is almost 99%. It might auto reboot the computer. [08:07] leaf-sheep: can you wait a few minutes so I can restart my computer and see if it sticks? [08:07] like backspace too far in a terminal [08:07] <_genuser_> losher, then perhaps missing nfs-common. [08:07] _genuser_: if you have nfs-common installed, nfs mounts should work [08:07] ToastedSalad: Okay. I think it'll stick. (Or it should be). Go and reboot. I'll be here. [08:07] brb [08:07] _genuser_: you may also need portmap [08:08] _genuser_: sudo mount -t nfs 192.168.1.3:/raidshare /mnt/raid [08:08] can anyone tell me how to make adobe flash my primary player instead of sfwdec? [08:08] <^mNotIntelligent> pradeep, yw [08:08] Any geeks with interest in h@x ? [08:08] <_genuser_> lstarnes: losher I will reboot, then try those again. :) thanks both.

[08:13] yea but first modprobe -r pcspkr, or you'll hear it one last time when you shutdown [08:13] pete__: trying to upgrade to karmic, I reinstalled my desktop after karmic failed on me using my jaunty cd, and once I did the initial few software updates I was gonna upgrade using do-release-upgrade -d, which worked, but I said "no" to the prompt right before it upgraded, and now it says there are no new upgrades [08:13] sudo modprobe -r pcspkr to remove pcspeaker driver without rebooting [08:13] sorry I had to step out, but does anyone know anything about the game SAVAGE 2 for linux? [08:14] ok now [08:14] cabaro: ty [08:14] cabaro, yea but i found that you must blacklist the module too or it will return on the next boot [08:14] eddy, except, pete@BOX:~$ sudo echo "blacklist pcspkr" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf [08:14] bash: /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf: Permission denied [08:14] ToastedSalad: 1) sudo aptitude install bluez-compat 2) Ensure that Bluetooth is paired 3) sudo hidd --search 4) It sometimes may be necessary for you to hold down button to make it visible. [08:14] true [08:14] pete use sudo [08:14] eddy, i did.. [08:15] Guest3565: i know the Demo worked for me last i tried it a few months ago.. and they got a large forum i recall [08:15] echo "blacklist pcspkr" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist [08:15] add .conf [08:15] leaf-sheep: where does the turning off the mouse come in""? [08:15] <^mNotIntelligent> yuanxin, use what cabaro said, blacklist the pcspkr... [08:15] or you'll get some warning thing [08:15] eddy, ? [08:16] hi, newbie here, prior to my first proper install, on my extra windows machine i am making a partition, should it be ext2 or ext3? [08:16] pete__, what cabaro said [08:16] is there a repo that i can add for teh bleeding edge kernel? [08:16] but add .conf to the end of that command [08:16] ^mNotIntelligent: that's what it says to do on the site silly [08:16] ToastedSalad: Step 4. It's not often for people to experience HID interrupt, I suppose. (I think it was because you paired the Bluetooth and bluz-compat wasn't installed; then you tried to pair it again). [08:16] <^mNotIntelligent> JoeSomebody, make it ex3 [08:17] eddy, to upgrade to karmic do i just change all my sources, and then use synaptic [08:17] ? [08:17] ok thanks [08:17] Can someone help me troubleshoot installing this tar.gz? [08:17] Dr.Willis, well I downloaded the 32bit version, but it won't even start the game, it istalled fine but no game...it pops up a black screen then disappears, know why by chance? [08:17] pete__: I tried that, but half the updates it lists are blocked, so I figured it was bugging out [08:17] <^mNotIntelligent> yuanxin, nobody wants to visit a site if he gets a oneline aswer...silly [08:17] pete__, yea or you could use command line: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [08:17] ^mNotIntelligent: true, but I had already visited it [08:17] hi , i need help with wine , i want to install via wine a setup.exe file who request JVM when i open setup file wine give me error java.lang.exceptionininitializererror: \com\ms\wfc\core\wfcexption [08:18] eddy, haha ok [08:18] <^mNotIntelligent> yuanxin, then you're done [08:18] yup [08:18] <^mNotIntelligent> nevermind [08:18] sudo apt-get install cowsay fortune && echo "fortune | cowsay" >> ~/.bashrc [08:18] ^ awesome thing to do [08:18] eddy, im learning slowly but surely, so far I have, mounted ntfs drives, got my webcam to work, got my volume buttons to work. etc etc [08:18] pete__, good to hear [08:18] oo and got my xbox 360 controller to work. [08:18] ubuntu is much better than windows. [08:19] hello [08:19] Can someone help me troubleshoot installing this tar.gz? [08:19] ubuntu is sexy [08:19] leaf-sheep: ok thank you. bye [08:19] pete I would agree, although mine doesn't like games at all in the slitest! lol [08:19] but someone over in #vbox said i should try Arch and that i will :-) [08:19] i hear pacman is awesome [08:19] is there anyone who can help me getting karmic installed from jaunty, none of the normal methods work (apt-get dist-upgrade, do-release-upgrade -d, update-manager -d, etc) [08:19] Guest3565, what doesnt like games? [08:19] I play SNES on here lol [08:20] pete__, frozen bubble is the best game for linux [08:20] idyle, i was just getting ready to try!? whats wrong [08:20] lol i love that game so don't hate [08:20] eddy, i like my snes games haha [08:20] Hi does anyone one know how safe it is to download security updates from Update Manager that are not "authenticated" [08:20] pete__: I think it's because I started it and then declined just before it started [08:20] pete My system doesn't play games for me, not sure what the deal is really, Windows its a piece of cake, but ubuntu hates games for me... think i got a driver issue of some sort...not too sure though [08:20] idyle, ask eddy lol [08:20] Can someone help me troubleshoot installing this tar.gz? [08:21] I think he said he doesn't know what's going on :| [08:21] Guest3565, most games are built for windows [08:21] gac1: you installed the software in the first place, and trusted the software then [08:21] gac1: what made you change your mind? [08:21] pete I got the game for linux called SAVAGE 2 and can't get it to work. and another NEXIUZ also neither will work right... [08:21] I get a message about unauthenticated software [08:22] What is an SVC? [08:22] gac1: it depends on which repository it comes from [08:22] ZoeyMarie: try googling [08:22] idyle, did you change all ur souces in /etc/apt/sources.list and then, sudo apt-get update, sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [08:22] How do you mean ? [08:22] ZoeyMarie, if its a .tar.gz its source code [08:22] pete__: no, I will try that [08:23] idyle, you must first update your sources.list to karmic then dist-upgrade [08:23] gac1: if they're from official ubuntu repositories on official ubuntu mirrors, they are generally safe [08:23] what pete__ said haha [08:23] are there any machine learning people here? [08:23] well im doing dist-upgrade now [08:23] i am a machine [08:23] wish me luck [08:23] haha [08:23] pete__: hey that looks like it's working [08:23] hrm... let me rephrase this... I'm trying to install a tar.gz file, and it tells me to qmake the src/ dir of the sources... but then it points me to a site that just explains what SVN is, I think... [08:23] Oh OK but I got this warning message about security updates being dangerous [08:23] gac1: you installed that software earlier, and it came from an unauthenticated source then [08:23] idyle, yea, we are both doing it at the exact same moment haha [08:24] idyle, yea, you know why i always seem to come in here and help people? cause ive had all these problems before hahah [08:24] :P! [08:24] gac1: only thing you're doing now is updating and upgrading that same software [08:24] yeah pass on the good advise :D [08:24] i tried to use ubuntu when it was the badger [08:24] but it never worked on my machine [08:24] Oh OK. Thanks a lot. [08:25] wow downloading karmic packages at 1.8 mb/sec [08:25] lol yeah it's been getting WAY better the last couple of years [08:25] I got 1.5mbps [08:25] I'm new to this system but I do love Ubuntu so much superior to Windows nonsense [08:25] nice. comcast?

[08:26] how do i play .rm files in ubuntu? these are Real Player files. [08:26] so maybe that's why [08:26] good night everyone! [08:27] ZoeyMarie: it's downloading it to a directory under your current directory [08:27] ahhh [08:27] good morning everyone [08:27] eddy, it doesnt matter im on xubuntu for karmic does it [08:27] hi [08:27] hi all [08:27] pete__, it shouldn't [08:28] eddy, im really liking xfce [08:28] yea it's light and fast; i prefer gnome though [08:28] ... regular ubuntu :-) [08:28] fluxbox ftw [08:29] anyone know of a way to get usb headset to work with ubuntu?

So I'm trying to qmake the src/ dir of the sources... and it's telling me there's an error processing the project file at the location that I provided. What's going on?

[08:30] pete__, i suggest looking up and install qingy with fluxbox [08:30] yeah [08:30] qingy [08:30] ok ill look it up [08:30] qingy is best for selecting windows managers [08:30] uses directfb for login screen [08:30] is fluxbox ugly? [08:31] cause xfce is fast enough and it looks good [08:31] by default i little [08:31] but you can customize it alot [08:31] yea i suggest customizing [08:31] anyone can point me to aufs root filesystem [08:31] what nemo_ said haha [08:31] would anyone care to show me a screenshot of a fluxbox desktop, one that someone actually uses [08:31] just curious [08:32] http://images.google.com/images?q=fluxbox&oe=utf-8&rls=com.ubuntu:en-US:unofficial&client=firefox-a&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&hl=en&tab=wi [08:32] tons there [08:32] * blunder loves fluxbox/blackbox [08:32] omg.

I know about the order in redirection, and understand the first case is the obvious. But the second should work too: 2 points to 1, and 1 point to file, so 2 should go to file too. Why not?

[10:02] hrickards, karmic help in #ubuntu+1 [10:02] !karmic | hrickards [10:02] hrickards: Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 29th, 2009 - Karmic WILL break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [10:02] Okay [10:03] hi any body knows how to use pidgin messenger????? [10:03] IpSe_DiXiT: first, run xrandr in a terminal, and find out how to change modes with that. Then assign your favorite resolution to a gnome shortcut, e.g. alt+ctrl+1 ==> 1280x800. [10:03] err [10:03] how do i pass the password as a parameter in ssh [10:03] Guest53353 try amsn [10:03] ssh user@server -p (-p doesnt work, its port) [10:04] bagy i didnt get you......... [10:04] dyjytyl: google for passwordless ssh. You don't pass the password as a param. [10:04] alkisg: so u think even without closing the application thatz causing the problem i can reassign the resolution i want? [10:04] dyjytyl: you can generate a ssh key if you like. it could have an empty phrase [10:04] IpSe_DiXiT: yes [10:05] !ssh-keygen | dyjytyl [10:05] Sorry, I don't know anything about ssh-keygen [10:05] now that ubuntu doesn't use inittab , how do i respawn a process? [10:05] thanks [10:05] dyjytyl: try in an terminal "man ssh-keygen" [10:05] dyjytyl: you cannot pass password because it would be shown plain in processlist, which is a security break [10:05] alkisg: ok cool, also i wasnt able to use my mouse, the keyboard i could use but just for writing in the quarter of screen i was able to see at that resolution [10:06] IpSe_DiXiT: try it, and if you get stuck anywhere ping me === Guest53353 is now known as brb [10:06] alkisg: alright thanks, can i do it from tt1 or it has to be from a terminal? [10:07] do any of you know what i am supposed to do, i want to respawn deluge [10:07] hello anyone can use pidgin here?????????/ [10:07] IpSe_DiXiT: you need to be in an x session when you do it === brb is now known as Guest12217 [10:07] spO: sudo servicename restart [10:07] spO: sudo service servicename restart [10:07] :) oops [10:07] IpSe_DiXiT: so you can't do it from vt1. E.g. from withing the problematic app, you just press alt+ctrl+1. [10:07] IpSe_DiXiT: (not alt+ctrl+F1 - I mean the shortcut that you put to change resolution) [10:08] alkisg: isnt tt1 one? (is the second command u suggested ctrl + alt + "number one" or "letter l" cuz in case itz an L i use that combo to lock the screen [10:08] hello can anyone hear me????? [10:08] Hello all. I am new to Ubuntu using my Windows XP Professional setup right now. [10:08] no, sometimes deluge crashes, i want to respawn deluge only if it crashes.... but ubuntu doesn't use inittab anymore [10:09] yes Guest12217 [10:09] i don't want to have to monitor my system to see if the deamon crashes or not [10:09] IpSe_DiXiT: ok let me change the example shortcut: With you assign "alt+ctrl+r" to xrandr --output default --mode 1280x800. Then within the game, you just press alt+ctrl+r. [10:09] Gussi: yes we can use pidgin, you need to be more specific with your question [10:09] irc works [10:09] Gussi: sorry [10:09] manutally monitor i mean [10:09] i have some problem wid pidgin.......... [10:09] Guest12217: yes we can use pidgin, you need to be more specific with your question [10:09] irc://irc.darkartika.net/nol1m1t3d [10:09] can you briefly tellme how to use it????? [10:10] Guest12217: you're not being specific with what problems you've got with it, help us to help you [10:10] alkisg: xrandr only gives me this http://paste.ubuntu.com/274565/ how do i change key-shortcuts and stuff? [10:10] i do not know how to start with pidgin............ [10:10] Cookies. [10:11] IpSe_DiXiT: first, try to change resolutions: xrandr --output default --mode 1360x768 [10:11] go to application - Internet-pigin [10:11] just found something very interesting on youtube about ubuntu http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJaTA25tpMg [10:11] Guest12217: u go on accounts > create accounts > add > choose ur protocol (could be MSN, yahoo, or whatever) put username and password click on connect [10:12] IpSe_DiXiT: Does it work? Then, put the resolution back with: xrandr --output default --mode 1360x768 [10:12] alkisg: is the same command :D [10:12] i start mplayer in tty1 to play some mp3's .. but the audio cuts off when i start into X .. how do i make it persist? [10:12] IpSe_DiXiT: sorry, I meant put the resolution back with xrandr --output default --mode 1440x900 [10:12] :) [10:12] Thanks for everyones help on my game, I finally got it to work right using wine of course and directx9 !!

[10:16] i dont want to make a live cd of my current system state.I want some specific packages.Does remastersys give me an option on that one?

[10:27] moymoy: i gotta go, try asking for support on #mplayer [10:27] moymoy: what does "audio cuts off when i start into X" mean? [10:27] cu guys ;) [10:27] moymoy: weird, that doesn't happen here. It works fine regardless of switching to X [10:27] Walex: i was in the terminal when i started mplayer [10:28] alienbrain: hmm can you reproduce it by switching to tty and back to X? [10:28] moymoy: which terminal? An X terminal or the basic Linux console? [10:28] alienbrain: which sound system are you using with mplayer? [10:28] Walex: the console [10:28] moymoy: there is a small cut while I'm switching (about .5 sec), but it works fine [10:29] moymoy: pulse [10:29] alienbrain: are you playing from the console? or are you playing with a gui app like rhythmbox? [10:29] moymoy: perhaps yoru X session starts a sound server, and the sound server get exclusive control of the audio. [10:29] Helo this is the second time im using ubuntu fourms and had a serious problem i have been told to run sudo apt-get clean and then when i click on the applications menu to start up the terminal there only came a small white box.This was very odd to me because lots and lots of people ran sudo apt-get clean and had no problems.

[10:29] moymoy: or perhaps it does not get exclusive control, but just resets the volume to zero. [10:29] Walex: but i can hear the music again when switching back to the console [10:29] moymoy: from a console, tty1 :) [10:30] alienbrain: not fair! lol [10:30] moymoy: that sounds nearly impossible. [10:30] alienbrain: at this point, i'm desparate enough to reason that it's not working because i'm using it on tty2 [10:30] how do i install ubuntu directly from a hard drive partition without cd or usb? [10:30] moymoy: lol :) [10:30] Walex: appearantly it is [10:31] moymoy: can you try playing it in a screen? (screen command) [10:31] Walex: when i start a session in X, it persists when i switch to a console and back [10:31] Walex: but not the other way around [10:31] moymoy: the X server by itself does nothing to the sound system.

If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » [10:43] installfromparti: that's nonsense. of course it supports private messages [10:44] installfromparti: you just have to get used to switching between windoes [10:44] *windows [10:44] moymoy: dowloading, as I am curious.

[10:48] Neosano, yes if you search for your model laptop on ubuntuforums.org or google you may find someone else has had the same problem [10:48] Walex: nope [10:49] installfromparti, is there nothing described in manual? i never used pxe... :( [10:49] Walex: didn't think it'd matter [10:49] Will do ortsvorsteher, Peace! [10:49] moymoy: I also just tried the very same here ('mplayer' on console and swtiching to X) and it did not stop. But my setup is somewhat peculiar. [10:49] ortsvorsteher: the manual lists x programs, i just want one program to setup a server, like thttpd, or something easy [10:49] moymoy: conceivably your version of 'mplayer' detects it is no longer the foreground application and pauses until it becomes the foregound application again. [10:50] installfrompartil, i am really sorry, i never used this way for installing so i have no experience for that... [10:50] Walex: that's clever...... it's TOO clever for its own good [10:50] moymoy: no sure, but it could be the case. Some video players do that. [10:51] hi guys.. i tried to make s2api.. what went wrong? http://pastebin.org/18984 [10:51] if i set the command with sleep 2 && in front of it [10:51] moymoy: also, can you play *two* MP3s at the same time in the console (e.g. 'mplayer a.mp3& mplayer b.mp3&')? [10:52] Walex: if i set the command with sleep 2 && in front of it and quickly switch to X, i can hear the music.. but once i switch to con and back, it's gone [10:52] moymoy: that is really weird. [10:53] im aaron11 [10:53] moymoy: another things to try... [10:53] moymoy: did you try screen? [10:53] ok [10:53] ok [10:53] moymoy: do 'ls -l /dev/snd' from the console and then in an X terminal once you have switched. [10:53] alienbrain: i tried screen, it works in that i can start the command while in X and i can hear the music.. but it the sound disappears once i switch to console and back to X [10:54] Walex: it's all owned by root and in the group audio [10:54] moymoy: the other possibility is that the ownership of the sound device files changes when in X, if you are logged in with a different user. [10:54] moymoy: then the final option... [10:54] hello everybody [10:54] moymoy: but if you execute mplayer from inside a screen on tty then detach it and switch to X, what happens? [10:55] moymoy: start 'mplayer' like this: 'strace 2> /tmp/mplayer.str mplayer file.mp3' and test again. [10:55] hmm..where is the list off all the users? [10:55] alienbrain: nothing [10:55] moymoy: that will make clear what happens when you switch to X and back (at least on the mplayer side).

[11:11] p2p [11:11] ekiga can connect peer-to-peer if both sites are on the internet [11:12] cgroza; i almost forgot for sometime when my system freezed i my monitor was like blinking [11:12] hey is there any way to stop peers ubuntu transmiiton bit-client?? [11:12] otherwise it needs NAT traversal (STUN) [11:12] benn: that is a moderately advanced sort of work. You probably don't need it either; it just makes things a bit faster. [11:12] PerryArmstrong:what video card are u using? [11:12] moymoy; this is the command: sudo less /var/log/messages whats the command to save it in a file [11:12] walex i really nedd that [11:12] LMJ: Ekiga? Also check the Google-acquired one, can't remember the name. [11:13] cool ekiga, thanks [11:13] moymoy: still looking at your strace [11:13] cgroza; i dont know about it...i think its vga....i am ignorant about it [11:13] hello all [11:13] PerryArmstrong:in terminal type sudo apt-get install sysinfo [11:14] when i give the command:mkinitramfs -o /boot/initrd.img-2.6.26.8-rt16 2.6.26.8-rt16 [11:14] anyone knows when ubuntu9.10 beta1 will reday? [11:14] it will install an app and you will be able to find out you sys specs [11:14] it gives me:Cannot find /lib/modules/2.6.26.8-rt16 [11:14] Why the heck does "killall gnome-panel" keep restarting gnome-panel? How do I remove gnome-panel once and for all? [11:14] Walex: you're on fire today, helping 5 people at the same time and looking through my strace... i just want to thank you in advance for staying with my case [11:14] moymoy: as a curiosity, in your console, what does 'echo $DISPLAY' print? [11:14] I need to install graphics driver. would u guys suggest me some?????????? [11:15] Walex: it prints nothing [11:15] is twinkle can connect peer to peer ? [11:16] moymoy: that's good. I was wondering. There seems to be definitely an effect on 'mplayer' from switching, which is very odd. That is 'mplayer' detects the switch and changes behaviour. Odd. [11:16] Anybody? How do I kill gnome-panel people? [11:16] moymoy: try with 'mpg123' to double check this is 'mplayer' specific. [11:16] Walex: hmm yeah.. that seems to be the problem.. good call [11:17] hi [11:17] Walex: i exported the display variable to 0 and now i can hear the audio anytime.. in any tty also.. don't even have to be logged in to them [11:17] harisund: repeat your question every 5-10 minutes. Unless of course you have the Platinum Account that entitles you to a response within a minute. [11:17] lol [11:18] how to install s2api? [11:18] do you know any ubuntu version for internet cafe with management software [11:18] when i give the command:mkinitramfs -o /boot/initrd.img-2.6.26.8-rt16 2.6.26.8-rt16 it gives me:Cannot find /lib/modules/2.6.26.8-rt16.what is the problem? [11:20] Ben64, you don't have kernel modules installed [11:20] damm too late. [11:20] =D [11:20] Benn, you don't have kernel modules installed [11:21] Hello again, searched forums for my amilo k7600 - nothing. When trying to go out of the suspend it shows lots of lines with some kind of EXT3 errors saying about directory offset or smth [11:21] refugiado: tar zxf linux-2.6.26.8.tar.gz [11:21] cd linux-2.6.26.8 [11:21] zcat ../patch-2.6.26.8-rt16.gz | patch -p1 [11:21] i`ve done this [11:21] benn: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [11:21] moymoy: it looks like you have configured 'mplayer' to use Pulse and messagebus... [11:21] Walex: hmmm it was a fluke.. it doesn't work anymore [11:22] benn have you already compiled and installed the new kernel after patch? [11:22] refugiado: i`ve just compiled the kernel [11:22] how to change root pass throug ssh [11:22] how can i install nvidia driverÉ [11:23] refugiado: can we talk in PM? [11:23] benn , already 'make modules'? [11:23] if I do not have modules.conf which file do I use? [11:23] Walex, can it be a swap problem? Because I'm using swap file [11:23] hi guys need help in kubuntu [11:23] piers, just ask [11:23] linux for internet cafes? [11:23] cgroza; i ran the command [11:23] Neosano: it could be that you are overloading the system and it is swapping. [11:24] Neosano, Private chat? [11:24] piers, no, here :] [11:24] Neosano: the other suggestion is to run 'vmstat 1' in an X terminal window and check what happens when the system slow down. [11:24] Walex: it's not mplayer specific.. it happens for mpg123 also [11:24] if I do not have etc/modules.conf which file do I use? can I use etc/modules ? [11:24] meshuggah, do u using kubuntu or ubuntu? [11:24] hi [11:24] hello ,why every time i right click the menu shows up and then goes away? [11:25] Neosano, ok have kubuntu and accidentally deleted network manager now cant connect to any network [11:25] ctx144k, ubuntu with e17 [11:25] Walex, I'm sorry, what are you talking about? :D I'm trying to suspend! It suspends fine, but when I go back it shows some errors [11:25] Neosano: also if the system slows down when you do lots of IO (like copying files) that's expected and there are workarounds. [11:25] its not my mouse in windows every thing works fine [11:25] Neosano: sorry confused you with the guy whose system freezes occasionally. [11:25] perhapos u should switch one time to "gnome" [11:25] Walex, when hibernating it just shows these EXT3 errors and I have to reboot [11:25] gnome works almost perfectly [11:26] Neosano: plenty of systems have difficulty with suspend-to-disk. Most however work with suspend-to-ram. [11:26] there ull find in Admin-Menu a programm "Hardware-Driver" [11:26] Hi. Can I improve performance of flash player especially in fullscreen? My hardware is old but flash player works fine in XP in VMware on ubuntu. [11:26] Walex, Ubuntu is just freshly installed [11:26] with that u can install ur drivers in ome seconds [11:26] Neosano: it all depends on the BIOS of your system and the specific drivers. [11:26] Neosano, do update 1st fixed most of my probs [11:26] installed ubuntu (with Wubi from WinXP), and i got 2x NTFS drives, C: (where XP is installed), and F: (where i backup stuff), i found F: and could mount it from "Computer" with no problem, but i cant find C: drive.. (both are NTFS), any ideas? [11:26] piers, I'm newbie in linux :) Don't ask me :( [11:27] if I do not have etc/modules.conf which file do I use? can I use etc/modules ? guys? =) [11:27] anyone? =) [11:27] Neosano, ok [11:27] moymoy: still looking at the 'strace'. But try another thing: stop the Pulse server and check whether it still happens. Also, I have 'strace'd my 'mplayer' and it does not use Pulse or messagebus... [11:27] ctx144k, i tried it and it screw up ubuntu so bad i needed to deleted the xorg.conf if not it bugged and jammed [11:27] hanshenrik, try places/* gb media [11:27] any1 know how to delete a partition using gnome [11:27] hanshenrik: you can't see the C: drive in ubuntu because ubuntu IS running off of that drive.. to be able to see everything, you'll need to do a proper install of ubuntu [11:27] louigi: check '/etc/modprobe.conf' and similar. There are two version of the module utils, and use different files. [11:27] By the way walex, apparently it's a Ubuntu issue, so I doubt anyone here would know anyway so don't worry, thanks [11:27] hello ,why every time i right click the menu shows up and then goes away? [11:27] hello ,why every time i right click the menu shows up and then goes away? [11:28] its not my mouse in windows every thing works fine [11:28] meshuggah, then u have to define right screen-resolutions in xorg.conf [11:28] cgroza__, stop sayin stuff 2wice [11:28] ctx144k, how [11:28] Walex: how do i stop it? when i `sudo service pulseaudio stop` it just starts up again [11:28] Walex: no file like that [11:28] Walex, well, there's almost no options in my BIOS unfortunately. How can I try suspend to ram and suspend to disk? Which one is the default? [11:28] louigi: '/etc/modprobe.d/' then [11:29] ctx144k, btw it chose the 96 version when it was said the 71 one was the good one for my geforce4 [11:29] any1 linux advanced user? [11:29] \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ [11:29] soz [11:29] Neosano: it is not an option in the BIOS; it is how buggy the BIOS is. [11:29] piers, install gparted then look in System→Admin→Partition Editor menu [11:29] Neosano: suspend to ram is "standby" and suspend to disk is "hibernate". [11:29] Walex: no files like that at all. the only file starting with "mod" is modules [11:29] Walex: I have Ubuntu 9.04 [11:30] piers, gparted is like free Partition Magic [11:30] junkbit, thanks but the partition I want to delete has kubuntu on it [11:30] piers, you can do it from the liveCD [11:30] junkbit, private chat? [11:30] junkbit, do wot [11:30] Walex, OH, that's it.. both are not working :] [11:30] moymoy: sure its running on C: ? (cus i specified 20 GB for ubuntu in wubi, and my C: drives total capasity dropped by 20 gb :o) [11:31] Walex, in windows they're working [11:31] piers, if you boot the liveCD you can run gparted, it might be called kparted on kubuntu [11:31] meshuggah, u have to look in googlem, there ull find the options for xorg.conf: for example Modes 1024x768 [11:32] Walex, I've tried sudo s2ram -f which WORKED! I saw desktop and things, but everything was broken! [11:32] hanshenrik: yup, i'm sure.. because the wubi installer happens in windows and doesn't need a reboot.. so your Ubuntu is actually running on a virtual environment within your windows filesystem (i think that's how it is) [11:32] is there any way to stabilize my wireless connection, the signal strenght changes a lot [11:32] ctx144k, ok tyhank [11:32] Neosano: then it is some incompatible video driver. However try 'xrefresh' in a terminal. [11:32] Walex s2disk doesn't work as far as I remember :] [11:33] Walex, Walex, terminal is broken too - showing some stupid random errors when I'm trying to do something [11:33] meshuggah, but - i had no problems with my xorg.conf after installing via ubuntu-menue [11:33] Neosano: sounds like bad news for your system. [11:33] ctx144k, i didnt got before, and not in debian too [11:33] Neosano: CTRL+C it [11:33] moymoy: oki :p think ill go use yet an other cd (about to run out! :p) [11:33] moymoy: still looking at your strace [11:33] but now i got problem [11:34] thank for your help ctx144k [11:34] Walex, after rebooting everything is ok of course [11:34] hanshenrik: why can't you use the same CD? [11:34] Ok I'll try to do something [11:34] no problem [11:34] brb [11:34] junkbit, can i delete the kubuntu partition without trashing my gnome partition [11:35] Walex: thanks for sticking with my case.. which has proved itself incredibly time-consuming.. and i'm also straining your eye D; [11:35] omg [11:35] Soo [11:35] Walex, just went out of suspend.. errr [11:35] Neosano: does anything work? [11:36] Walex: seems like nothing like that - no modprobe no modules.conf.... what do I do? [11:36] Walex, XChat is working fine(that's why I'm here) [11:36] Walex, terminal doesn't work [11:36] root@lilu:~# xrefresh [11:36] bash: /usr/bin/xrefresh: No such file or directory [11:36] Neosano: what does `cat /sys/power/state` say? [11:36] piers, did you install both ubuntu and kubuntu side by side? then yes you can delete kubuntu and resize ubuntu to use the free space [11:36] guys can i delete my Kubuntu partition without trashing the Grub and messing up the startup [11:36] root@lilu:~# cat /sys/power/state [11:36] bash: cat: command not found [11:36] Walex: I found modprobe.d through CLI interface! [11:36] piers,i dont think so [11:37] Walex: so is it the right file? [11:37] louigi: 'man modprobe.conf' [11:37] Neosano: seems like your paths are messed up [11:37] how do I instal Grub again after deleting it [11:37] moymoy, haha, yea :) [11:37] moymoy, any chance to fix them? Or maybe some extra parameters for s2ram ? [11:37] piers,grub installs itself once with the OS [11:37] Neosano: show the output of `/bin/echo $PATH` [11:38] Neosano: i dont' use s2ram [11:38] cgroza__, private chat? [11:38] moymoy, but I used it to get atleast SOMETHING work [11:38] moymoy, how can I do it? [11:38] Neosano: i have a minimum install, so i tell the kernel to suspend myself [11:39] Neosano: show me `/bin/echo $PATH` first [11:39] Walex: I needed modules.conf to add some soundcard aliases. in modprobe directory I have several files. should I use alsa-base to add the lines? [11:39] moymoy, how can I do it? [11:40] err [11:40] Neosano: copy and paste it [11:40] moymoy, in terminal? [11:40] Neosano: show me the output of that command i sent earlier [11:40] moymoy: I think it is something related to the Pulse server. [11:40] moymoy, I can't open terminal :) [11:40] Neosano: yeah in terminal [11:41] Can someone explain the technical difference between the -virtual and standard -server kernel? [11:41] Neosano: then how did you get the "command not found" ? [11:41] Walex: what's your theory? [11:41] Looks like -server is already running 100HZ tickless so what else is different? [11:41] moymoy, Really everything just dissapeared except my xchat active window [11:42] moymoy, So I'll reboot now :) [11:42] brb [11:42] Neosano: can you press ALT+F2? [11:42] nope, can't [11:42] Neosano:since when do you have this problem? [11:42] moymoy: for some reason the Pulse server suspend playing audio from the console when the X session is active, and viceversa. [11:42] cgroza__, after s2ram -f [11:42] Walex: all I found was modprobe.d but not modprobe.conf! [11:42] Neosano:REINSTALL.... that is what i wold do [11:42] louigi: is that wrong? [11:42] Walex: so it is a directory but it contains some other files [11:43] cgroza__ reboot helps, I'm trying to make suspend work [11:43] so Ill reboot now [11:43] brb [11:43] louigi: have you tried a web search? [11:43] louigi: I need to add some lines to modules.conf - so it says in my soundcard driver installation instructions [11:43] Wales: sure, a lot [11:43] Walex: searched a lot and decided to try here [11:43] do cluster have to be the same as in specs/make/etc or can they differ? [11:43] Walex: seems i did a pretty bad job installing ubuntu.. nobody else seems to have this problem === mama_ is now known as jmeng [11:45] okay I'm back [11:46] hey there, I'm currently trying to get the tun driver to create the /dev/net/tun device with certain user privileges using a udev rules file. Now when I manually modprobe tun, this works great. However, on boot, the tun file is created as root:root with no permissions. Any idea on why that happens? [11:46] hi [11:47] Neosano: welcome back.. is your terminal working? [11:47] moymoy, everything is working after rebooting - it's ok [11:47] Neosano: okay, do this `cat /sys/power/state` and tell what it says [11:48] alex@lilu:~$ cat /sys/power/state [11:48] mem disk [11:48] Neosano: okay.. this is what i do to suspend.. i don't know if it'll work for you [11:48] moymoy: it is not a problem -- looks like a feature. [11:48] moymoy, lets try :] [11:49] Neosano: first get root privelages with `sudo -s` [11:49] ok :) [11:49] Neosano: then do this `echo mem > /sys/power/state` [11:50] Walex: any idea how to configure pulse? [11:51] Ok, how do I make the S3 chrome work? I'm using the openchrome driver, but I still see trash in xorg. [11:51] in http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1117283 is said that i can enable mp3 encoding with sudo apt-get install ffmpeg libavcodec-unstripped-51 but ffmpeg is compiled without mp3 and do not work? ffmpeg is installed separately already [11:52] moymoy: try to run 'mplayer' with '-ao alsa:device=default' and see if it still stops. [11:53] moymoy, I'll try to explain what happened.. [11:53] Walex: audio doesn't persist.. not even with alsa [11:54] er.. It suspended... and when I pressed the power button to get back I saw a blank screen with binking cursos === bluebottle is now known as Guest79535 [11:54] cursor* [11:54] moymoy: that is very peculiar or else it does not really use ALSA. [11:54] and nothing else.. just blank screen with binking cursor [11:54] Some time later I pressed power button to shut it down [11:54] and it said [11:55] login lilu blablabla [11:55] I wrote my username [11:55] Neosano: hmm that shouldn't happen.. what kernel version are you using? `uname -r` [11:55] and it showed some kind of EXT3-fs error [11:55] hi [11:55] Neosano: you were told to log in after you pressed the powerbutton? [11:56] Yes, well, yeah, in that shitty console [11:56] but after I wrote my login name it showed up some errors [11:56] 2.6.28-15-generic [11:57] Neosano: hmm.. i have the 2.6.31 kernel.. suspend/hibernate never worked for me in the previous kernels... i was just hoping it'd work for your computer [11:57] moymoy, lol, maybe I have to get 2.6.31? :D [11:58] Neosano: i'd prefer another route [11:58] Neosano: compiling your own kernel can take a long time [11:58] :D [11:58] Ok, how do I make the S3 chrome work? I'm using the openchrome driver, but I still see trash in xorg. [11:59] Neosano: and your kernel might not even work, that means you have to reconfigure it and compile again... more time wasted D; [11:59] moymoy, doesn't sound good :-\ [11:59] moymoy, so, maybe there's another way to fix it? I googled a lot and nothing [12:00] How do I get windows to stack [12:00] Neosano: hmm i found some deb packages for the latest kernel, maybe you can give 'em a try [12:01] moymoy, why not [12:01] Neosano: first tell me `uname -m` [12:01] i686 [12:01] Neosano: okay [12:02] moymoy, strange that there's any problem with it on linux, but no problem in windows :) [12:02] -any [12:02] Neosano: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.31/linux-image-2.6.31-020631-generic_2.6.31-020631_i386.deb [12:02] Hello>? [12:02] Neosano: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.31/linux-headers-2.6.31-020631-generic_2.6.31-020631_i386.deb [12:02] i uninstalled my ubuntu-desktop package y mistake. now i can't use my computer. i can log-in. but nothing shows up, and i can't do anything. how can i install ubuntu-desktop again? [12:02] Neosano: MS-windows suspend usually has drivers custom-hacked by the manufacturer to work around the bugs in the BIOS and the specific devices. [12:03] Neosano: those two are the linux image and the linux-headers [12:03] moymoy, I must get both? [12:03] Neosano: you'll need the header files if you ever need to install anything that involves compiling a module or whatever [12:04] moymoy, okay, downloaded :] [12:05] Neosano: fire away!! .. your computer's been through a lot today =p ... so has mine.. been installing Arch earlier today [12:06] moymoy: your 'mplayer' first tries to use OSS output, but the device is busy, so it open a connection to the Pulse daemon. All audio is via the Pulse daemon. So it is definitely a Pulse issue. [12:07] Walex: do you know how i can configure pulse? [12:07] moymoy: it is likely that the Pulse daemon suspends non-foreground sessions. I'd play around with the commands in 'man pactl' [12:07] moymoy really I'm trying to make it work from yesterday :D [12:08] i cant get ubuntu to take up my entire screen [12:09] can anyone help [12:09] moymoy: I am not really familiar with Pulse, I don't use it. [12:09] Walex: are you an alsa user? [12:09] moymoy: yes, but Pulse anyhow uses ALSA. [12:09] moymoy, so what I'm going to do with these files? :-] [12:10] can anyone tell me how to get ubuntu to fit my entire screen? [12:10] lets brake my ubuntu! :DDD [12:10] Neosano: you can just click and open them and Gdebi should handle it.. or you can do it through the terminal [12:10] i have a 2 inch band around the entire screen [12:10] i uninstalled my ubuntu-desktop package y mistake. now i can't use my computer. i can log-in. but nothing shows up, and i can't do anything. how can i install ubuntu-desktop again? [12:10] moymoy, which one? Header or image? [12:11] How do I get windows to stack?! [12:11] sarthorks: login to a console (C-A-F1) and 'sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop' [12:11] sarthorks: try sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [12:11] lol Am I invisible [12:12] treadstone you're not :] [12:12] lol [12:12] walex , ortsvorsteher - i can do that only if i am connected through my wifi. but when i go to recovery mode eg, i am not connected to the net, so i cant download the package. [12:12] Neosano: both [12:13] How can i get Ubuntu to fill my entire screen [12:13] t [12:13] treadstone: reconfigure the X server [12:13] anyone here using ndiswrapper for their wireless ??? [12:14] Wales can you tell me how to do that in terminal perhaps [12:14] moymoy, err :D :D It says Same version is already installed! [12:15] moymoy a no [12:15] moymoy I'm a lier :] [12:15] it doesn't.. [12:15] treadstone: lots of HOWTOs out there. e.g. http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/ubuntu-linux-how-to-reconfigure-x-windows-system-xorg-server/ [12:15] The whole story how I ended up here is hilarious [12:15] treadstone : do tell [12:15] My Grandma installed IE8 on her ancient PC [12:16] moymoy , when trying to install header it says Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: linux-headers-2.6.31-020631 [12:16] then uninstalled it [12:16] hello, I get fail at starting mysql database server mysqld when booting ubuntu jaunty. do you have any hint? [12:16] lol [12:16] her windows that had been working for YEARS would do nothing [12:16] treadstone: and this is semi-official: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/Resolution [12:16] I had to access firefox from taskmanager [12:16] the use Wubi to install Ubuntu [12:17] tht sounds like a little bit of a pain [12:17] yes [12:17] and now it only takes up about 75% of the screen [12:17] walex : i can do that only if i am connected through my wifi. but when i go to recovery mode eg, i am not connected to the net, so i cant download the package. how should i do connect to a wifi network from the terminal in the recovery mode? [12:17] i just managed to convince my mate to dual boot ubuntu [12:18] Neosano: hmm... that's possibly because that's a deb for Karmic.. =\ [12:18] sarthorks: already told you: C-A-F1 i normal mode to login to the console. [12:18] i want to just fill the entire partition with ubuntu but I dont want to do that if the screen stays like this [12:18] bye all :) [12:18] Neosano: does the linux-image install fine though? [12:18] moymoy, yea [12:19] walex : you mean i should press the key 'C' and then press 'A' and then press F1 key, sequentially? [12:19] Neosano: then you're fine.. i only ever needed linux-headers for 2 things anyway.. you can get rid of that then.. reboot into your new kernel [12:19] sarthorks: Control-Alt-F1 [12:19] moymoy :) Hmm, sounds easy [12:19] walex - damn, stupid me! ok thanks [12:20] Neosano: and incase your new kernel doesn't work, remember you can choose your old kernel from the grub list (you may have to press Esc while grub loads) [12:20] moymoy: http://www.pulseaudio.org/wiki/CLI [12:22] I'm back :D [12:22] hi all. quick question. ubuntu desktop 9.04 is not detecting my syncmaster lcd screen. installed nvidia proprietary drivers, thinking it would improve resolution etc. looks pretty bad now? [12:22] anyone had a problem like this? [12:22] pics it up as CRT-0 [12:22] moymoy, What now? I'll just try suspend? [12:23] moymoy, or your method? [12:23] hi, I have this nas and want to connect my netbook, So I do smb:\\192.168.2.249 but says it doesn't exists. [12:23] must i edit xorg.conf directly? [12:23] Neosano: oh yes.. sorry [12:24] Neosano: `sudo -s` to get root privelages [12:24] Neosano: wait.. first i have to make sure what your sys says .. do `echo /sys/power/state` [12:24] moymoy, Well of course, what then? [12:24] test [12:25] root@lilu:~# echo /sys/power/state [12:25] er [12:25] sry [12:25] pente: test passed, do you need any help? [12:25] kt [12:25] it just says /sys/power/state [12:25] Neosano: lol something's wrong with me... i meant `cat` not echo [12:25] Neosano: bye the way, it's 6:25 AM and i haven't slept D; [12:26] moymoy: also check for your issue the ConsoleKit config. http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/ConsoleKit [12:26] Neosano: do `cat /sys/power/state` sorry [12:26] moymoy same, says mem disk [12:26] anyone knows why I get "directory doesn't exists" when I want to access my nas? smb:\\192.168.2.249 [12:26] Neosano: okay `echo mem > /sys/power/state` [12:26] moymoy: because Pulse uses the ConsoleKit if the module is loaded. [12:26] chess__: yes. [12:26] chess__: Probably because it's smb:// [12:26] Walex: apparently, if i use the sound server in my X session, i'll start hearing audio from mplayer again [12:27] I'm about to perform a new install of Ubuntu, should I install a fresh copy of 9.04 or is it worth waiting for 9.10 (how long till it's due out?) [12:27] No it isn't, its the same [12:27] Walex: like if i use aplay when i'm back in X .. audio starts playing again [12:27] same error [12:27] moymoy: ahhhh. That means that 'mplayer' connects to the sound server, and if you disable the sound server in X, well, it is disabled. [12:27] moymoy argh!!! [12:28] moymoy well [12:28] moymoy I'm back.. errrr.. [12:28] Walex: why would the sound server be disabled in X? [12:28] Neosano: how was the journey? [12:28] moymoy it was in the same way as s2ram [12:28] moymoy, everything is screwed.. [12:28] m1dlg: You can upgrade to 9.10 once it's out. [12:28] m1dlg, go with 9.04, you can always upgrade later [12:29] moymoy, no icons, terminal says shit on commands :) [12:29] Neosano: =\ no idea what's wrong.... and it's strange how xchat is immune to all these errors [12:29] moymoy: because you disabled it? [12:29] moymoy, I guess firefox works too [12:29] moymoy, interesting thing - I can't get to any folders [12:30] Walex: but my apps connect to pulseaudio when i'm in X too [12:30] moymoy if I try for example places/home folder [12:30] moymoy my task bars will disapear :D :D :D [12:30] anyone here have a monitor problem? not detected and incorrectly setup with X? [12:30] moymoy: but you just said "if i use the sound server in my X session, i'll start hearing audio from mplayer" [12:30] !enter Neosano [12:30] Sorry, I don't know anything about enter Neosano [12:30] er [12:30] !Enter [12:30] Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [12:31] mrwes mhh? [12:31] moymoy: this may be relevant: http://people.freedesktop.org/~mccann/doc/ConsoleKit/ConsoleKit.html#id2565344 [12:31] moymoy, I guess it works, but what happens with the whole system? :D [12:31] Neosano, when you put a few words on each line and use the enter key, it makes it difficult to follow your thread [12:32] mrwes, I'm sorry [12:32] moymoy: BTW I dislike that thing -- it introduces new complicate concepts in a UNIX environment which are opaquely used by random apps. [12:32] walex : i tried C-A-F1. but as i said, it cannot download the package as i am not connected to the internet . how should i connect to the net from the terminal? [12:33] MenZa, mrwes, OK shall do, I have to redownload it first (thank god for BT and 22Mb BB) [12:33] sarthorks: but you don't need to boot in "safe mode" or anything equivalent. [12:33] reboot :) [12:33] m1dlg, yes, it's best to get the iso from a torrent, the hash checking usually ensures you have a good iso file [12:33] Walex: hmm =\ i'll disable pulse audio as a service and try rebooting and see if it works [12:33] Walex: too much reading for this late night [12:34] sarthorks: if your problem is that you cannot connect to the Internet, bad news. Anyhow you can use he original installation disk to install just that group of packages. [12:34] Walex: morning now.. sun's up [12:34] walex: yes, thats what i was thinking. oh so you can;t connect from the terminal?? [12:34] mrwes, I did an upgrade to the install I have now when the first release of 9.04 came out and it stuff the machine up until some cool guys here fixed it - the whole thing was trashed [12:35] sarthorks: whether it is the console or an X terminal or application does not matter -- if the system is configured for networking, it will work either way. network connection is a property of the system, not of the way you use it. [12:35] hi [12:36] walex, so how do i configure my system to connect to the net? [12:36] m1dlg, some people prefer to do a fresh install everytime, I've done both with success. Having a separate /home partition certainly makes that a lot easier [12:36] sarthorks: same way you configured it beforehand... === ben is now known as Guest74905 [12:37] sarthorks: didn't you say that you have a working networked configuration, but you are just not using it? [12:37] Walex, EXT3-fs errors are saying something about sda2 directory offset [12:37] Walex, maybe it's because I have windows installed on another ntfs partition? [12:37] I am using rtorrent on a machine with multiple users and I want to make it independent on witch user is logged in. And to work if no user is logged in at all. Any help? pls [12:37] Neosano: very bad news. Looks like the disk did not restart, or you have bad issues in your filesystem [12:37] Good evening. [12:38] I'm having a bit of trouble with 9.04 [12:38] Walex, bad news? Not Really.. after reboot everything is just fine! What's wrong with the suspend? === andi is now known as Guest43744 [12:38] I've installed a new 500gb Seagate SATA hd. === Guest43744 is now known as devi_cay [12:38] walex, so i did not have to configure or anything. net works fine on my system. i am on the same system, only on jaunty live usb right now, so that i can connect to IRC. when i plug out my live usb and try booting to the HD (which has hardy loaded) i don;t think i am connected. i need to enter username and password to connect to the net, but since ubuntu-dekstop is uninstalled, i can't do anything. [12:38] Keiffer, I run rtorrent with a root cron @reboot [12:38] mrwes, Ta, I have a seperate /home but perhaps I had some faulty files on the last. I'm off to DL it all. L8rs [12:39] Keiffer, @reboot /usr/bin/screen -dmS rtorrent /usr/local/bin/rtorrent [12:39] And I've somehow managed to install 9.04 on the hd, but then it freezes most of the time on boot (I've managed to boot normally once). I'm also getting error number 19. When I boot off a CD, it fails 50/50 and if I do manage to get in, and I try to mount the hd, it freezes. [12:40] mrwes, please, can you be more specific? I don't know how to run a cron command as a sudo /root [12:40] sarthorks: you can use all commad line tols. Anyhow the issue seems to be that you use WiFi, your WiFi setup requires login, and you are only familiar with the GUI way to login to your WiFi AP. [12:40] It also flashes pretty fast, but there something about too many usb ports. [12:40] sarthorks: you could do many other things, like 'chroot' from your liveCD to your ondisk Ubuntu install. [12:41] mrwes, that's the command for cron? [12:41] walex, exactly. can you give me a detailed description of what i have to do? i am pretty new to ubuntu [12:41] Keiffer, hrmm...I'm not sure each user would be able to reattach to a screen session that root started [12:41] Any suggestions for my problem? [12:42] sarthorks: the basic problem is that if you are only familiar with the GUI way, and you delete the whole GUI thing, it is pretty hard to tell you step by step how to use the command line to reinstall the GUI, if you also rely on NetworkManager for wifi config. [12:42] Walex, probably after suspend linux is trying to get files on another partition, what can be wrong? Maybe because both partitions are primary? === andi_ is now known as devi_cay [12:42] Keiffer, I run transmission-cli and that runs as user transmission and I then use the web interface to add torrents [12:42] walex, ok so you suggest i grab a live CD and install ubuntu-desktop from it? === jean-paul is now known as www2 [12:43] sarthorks: so for now the best advice I can give is to continue using the LiveUSB version, mount your old root partition on th hard disk, 'chroot' into it and run 'apt-get install ubuntu-desktop' [12:43] Keiffer, http://trac.transmissionbt.com/wiki/Scripts [12:44] walex, can you explain what you mean by "chroot" into the hard disk? [12:44] sarthorks: another way would be to run the original installation CD in upgrade, not reinstall mode. [12:44] Keiffer, this might help for rtorrent: http://libtorrent.rakshasa.no/ [12:44] mrwes, thank you [12:45] Walex I guess you're busy now, but would making this partition logical help or no? [12:45] sarthorks: suppose that your root device gets mounted as '/media/sda1', just do 'chroot /media/sda1' [12:45] Keiffer, I used to run rtorrent, but as of late I started using transmission-cli [12:45] walex, that would be a nice possibility, thanks. thanks for chroot method. so once i chroot into it, i use sudo apt-get line? [12:45] Neosano: most likely the problem is that your BIOS ACPI code is buggy and/or not compatible with the Linux S2RAM subsystem. [12:45] need help with grub edit [12:45] How do I get windows to stack? [12:46] Neosano: many systems do not work with S2RAM under linux because their firmware cannot properly save or restore status [12:46] hi all - is it possible to install ubuntu from ubuntu? i.e. install a new version on another partition, from a running ubuntu? [12:46] SharpRain: what does that mean? [12:46] Duesentrieb: yes. [12:46] like instead of 3 firefox windows [12:46] they all go in one slot [12:46] and when you click it [12:46] walex, but im on jaunty right now, while my Hd has hardy. that wouldn't interfere if i run sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop once i have chroot-ed into it? [12:46] you can select [12:46] Walex: nice :) got a link to a howto? [12:46] SharpRain: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [12:46] like In windows [12:46] Walex, but after suspend I resume back and I can see my desktop, but something wrong with filesystem! [12:46] Any body knows of a good site to get me started with Apache? can't get my domainname to work, connecting from local network with ip works fine. lot's of variables are a bit spooky to me and my Ubuntu book is prety vague about it aswell so some good documentation might be needed for me [12:47] Aijse: did you try apaches online manualß [12:47] ? [12:47] Aijse: read a nice book, or there are some tutorials at http://httpd.Apache.org/ [12:47] need help with grub edit [12:47] Neosano: if there is something wrong with your filesystem, perhaps the disk did not restart right. [12:48] Walex: got a hint what do google for? i only find stuff for windows. [12:48] hi, i instaled the latest version of ubuntu on my laptop , but almost everytime i boot it says "operating system not found" , about once in every 10 boots grub comes up and ubuntu works fine for 20 minutes or so ,but then freezes -i can browse the menues but no application works [12:48] Walex I can give you error which I get when resuming, maybe it will help? [12:48] Walex: would it work to download the iso, mount it and start the installer? what is it called? [12:49] Walex, Duesentrieb thnx i ll have a look at that and see if it helps. Else maybe go to the library tomorrow [12:49] Guys? [12:49] Duesentrieb: well, that surely would work. But there is a specific tool (from Debian) to do an install from a running filersystem [12:49] Hello? [12:50] SharpRain: i guess no one really understands what you are asking for [12:50] Duesentrieb: check http://linuxmafia.com/faq/Debian/installers.html [12:50] walex, but im on jaunty right now, while my Hd has hardy. that wouldn't interfere if i run sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop once i have chroot-ed into it from jaunty? [12:50] SharpRain: "slot"? huh? do you want separate windows or not? [12:50] hey [12:50] sory to be nagging. am really struggling to get my monitor working on a fresh install of 9.04 desktop. anyone able to help with this, or is it a manual xork.conf setup? [12:50] any1 can help me? [12:50] SharpRain: that is only supported by some obscure window manager. None of the popular window managers does that. [12:50] you know in windows? where it has mozzila firefox: 3 and there is 3 windows in that one slot? [12:50] !any | djx [12:50] Sorry, I don't know anything about any [12:51] !ask | djx [12:51] djx: 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. :-) [12:51] SharpRain: thats not at all what you means before. [12:51] my wireless connection is allways shutting down or with slow slow speed [12:51] that's what I mean [12:51] SharpRain: if you are asking just about how to group task manager slots, that's a completely different issue from tabbing _windows). [12:52] !details | djx [12:52] djx: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [12:52] ubuntu 9.04 x64 [12:52] SharpRain: right click on the taskbar and check the various options. [12:52] djx: is your connection slow when using windows? [12:52] Walex: not sure what to look for there. [12:53] nop [12:53] only with ubuntu [12:53] hello all [12:53] Walex: when looking at the iso... what would the instalelr be called? and i hope it's a static binary :P [12:53] !hi | allan_ [12:53] allan_: Hi!

[12:57] can anyone help - my new ubuntu install boots on every 10 boots or so, then it freezes after 20 minutes [12:57] ok thanks [12:58] shengzi: often power or heat problems, or your disk is not working well. [12:58] shengzi: check your logs for signs of hw issues. [12:58] n-iCe, i myself am using AMD Athlon64, but I'm using i386, which works fine. i looked up wikipedia, and Core 2 Duo is already 64-bit ready [12:58] need help with grub editing.... [12:59] Walex, new to linux, which log should i look at . /var/log is the dir, right? [12:59] n-iCe, if you'd like to go 64-bit, you'll probably get the 64-bit iso [12:59] why doesn't backspace work in jaunty firefox? [12:59] i don't have experience with 64-bit OSes [12:59] shengzi: 'dmesg' and 'sudo less /var/log/messages' [12:59] mo0nykit: 64bit is stable? I mean are there bugs or something? [12:59] anyone please can I get the VPN working without previous connection and how thans [12:59] guys have small problem, have partition sda2, on witch I've installed windows (on sda5) and ubuntu (on sda6) now when I set in menu.lst hd0,4 (for windows it gives me an error:12 invalid error requested, any idea how to get to the windows? [12:59] thanks* [13:00] n-iCe, i don't know much about 64bit. perhaps someone else can help [13:00] Walex EXT3-fs error (devise sda2): ext3_find_entry: Directory #(some random number here) offset 0 [13:00] Walex, what is sda2 btw? [13:00] Walex, now it booted and gave this massage : "....EXT3-fs error (device sda1) ext3_find_entry: reading directory and then some numbers [13:00] shengzi, errr?? :D [13:01] !details | benn [13:01] benn: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [13:01] shengzi, same error :D [13:01] wow! [13:01] shengzi :D [13:01] shengzi you're trying to suspend? Or what? [13:01] Neosano, are you using a lenovo laptop? [13:01] i'm trying to boot ubuntu [13:01] no, but using laptop too :) [13:02] hi [13:02] shengzi, any other partitions on your hard drive? [13:02] shengzi: either your disk is failing, or there is something like insufficient power on startup [13:02] Neosano, i have another NTFS partition [13:02] shengzi, me too!!! [13:02] Walex, how can i check this? [13:02] to the people worrying about AMD64/64 bit mode: it has been used by many in production for several years. [13:02] Regarding ppa.launchpad.net. Is it "normal" that packages appear in the web interface but not in the packages files? (so I can't install them through apt-get) [13:03] what's the easiest way to connect to my network at home and use it's resources over the internet? I'm looking for something like a vpn [13:03] shengzi: looking at logs. if there are hardware errors they should be pretty obvious [13:03] benn: lets first talk here, there might be other people interested in your problem, or they may know more about it than I do [13:03] can anyone answer me? please [13:03] Walex: hm... that seems to give me a base system, and i can configrre the rest manually. but really all i want to do is run the normal installer that's also on the cd. much simpler. why would i need to boot fro mthe cd to run the installer? [13:03] bobbyd: no easy way unless your ADSL (or whatever) router supports ADSL connections. [13:03] Walex, I guess we have same problem.. But mine appears only after suspending [13:03] Walex, i guess i need ubuntu to boot for that....can i use the recovery mode ? [13:04] Duesentrieb: nothing special. [13:04] Walex, ah! Also it happens when I'm trying to hibernate [13:04] trijntje: i`ve compiled kernel,but don`t know how to add in the rub,so that i could boot from it [13:04] shengzi, so your ubuntu have never loaded atleast once? [13:04] shengzi: so you cannot boot right now? [13:04] Walex: there's no way to set up a VPN under ubuntu? Or to use ssh to tunnel somehow? [13:04] grub* [13:04] shengzi: use a liveCD to check. [13:04] Walex: it's annoying that i have to get the full iso though. would be nice to get *just* the installer. actually... is there a small "network install" iso? [13:05] Duesentrieb: yes. [13:05] Duesentrieb, yea, 16 mb :) [13:05] oh nice : [13:05] bobbyd: sure, but you need to persuade your ADSL or whatever router to forward the relevant traffic. It is not easy in many/most cases. [13:05] Neosano, it booted several times but froze each time, now it booted to shell saying the /dev/disk/lots-of-numbers does not exist [13:05] trijntje: i`ve downloaded kgrub editor,but it doesn`t load [13:06] shengzi :-\ [13:06] Walex: I already forward a load of stuff to other machines... [13:06] Walex: I run openwrt [13:06] shengzi, but still I think mine problem is somewhere around ntfs partition [13:06] Walex, Neosano: but but... where?! i must be blind. [13:06] benn: I cannot help you, sorry. I've never compiled a new kernel myself [13:06] Duesentrieb, er [13:06] OK. So, I've installed the nvidia drivers through the "System->Administration->Hardware Drivers". Now the only resolution i have is 640x480. cannot use my gnome desktop as nothing fits on the screen. anyone able to help? before the nvidia driver, it ran at 1024x768. This was the highest it would run, but the monitor is capable of more "SyncMaster 713N [13:06] Duesentrieb, one moment [13:07] Running 9.04 desktop, 64bit [13:07] bobbyd: you can probably run the PPTP daemon or OpenVPN or TINC on the OpenWRT, or forward the relevant traffic then. [13:07] trijntje: ok.thx anyway [13:07] i`ll try for my one to edit the grub.... [13:07] Walex: ok [13:08] Walex: nothing i do works... bah.. oh well... i might as well go to sleep and grab whatever sleep i can get [13:08] Neosano, Walex what is "ata"? there seems to be a lot of ata related errors when it boots thru reovery mode === DJAshnar is now known as dev_n00b [13:08] benn: you should try to phrase the question better. like "i've compiled a kernel, but how can i add it to grub" [13:08] Is there no way of telling apps to stay on the desktop I put them on? When using compiz it seems if their size changes for instance like a virtualbox machine installing an OS, it pops up on the desktop I`m working on. I dont want that. [13:08] benn: that way there's a better chance people will help you [13:08] bobbyd: perhaps the best way is to run SSH daemon on OpneWRT and then use SOCKS access to it. [13:09] hello all i whas wondering if anyone could help me setup a small cli command. I have a Directory packed with multipart rar files. This is what i have so far. "ls | grep part01.rar" that gives me every first part of every archive but how do i tunnel that to unrar so it extraxts them 1 by 1? [13:09] Duesentrieb, http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/jaunty/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/ [13:09] shengzi: ATA is the disk interface. I hope that you have backups. [13:09] Walex: hmm [13:09] trijntje: i've compiled a kernel, but how can i add it to grub??? :) p.s. sorry i`m noob in english:) [13:09] duffydack: there is a way with compiz, ill look it up [13:09] Duesentrieb, it's jaunty i386, probably exactly what you need! If not - browse through the folders there [13:09] Neosano: wow, well hidden. thanks! [13:10] benn: dont ask me ;) Its just that if you are more specific, people will help you better. [13:10] Walex, you mean the disc is dead? i have nothing important there, but it was a working XP before I installed Ubuntu, strange... [13:10] Duesentrieb, yea, I was searching this shit for hours :D [13:10] good morning - how can i open airocrack-ng? [13:10] trijntje: nevermind...i`ll try for my self to edit it:)hacker.....:))) [13:11] Neosano: any reason not to use karmic? [13:11] thx anyway [13:11] shengzi: depending on which ATA errors you get, the disk is not in a good state. "working" is not a 100%/0% binary choice. [13:11] ok. will try another day. [13:11] Hi all [13:11] benn: ok, good luck! Make a backup of your menu.lst file ;) [13:11] Duesentrieb, Dunno, use karmic if you want to :) [13:11] :P [13:11] hello [13:11] trijntje, I`m thinkin maybe disabling viewport switcher might *fix* it [13:11] duffydack: its called 'window placement' in compiz [13:11] may I ask, what's the chromium-testsuite-dbg package for? [13:11] Walex, it suddenly booted! in rescue mode - to look at logs, which option should i choose "resume", "clean", "root"? [13:12] trijntje: i don`t use to make backup`s :)))) [13:12] Walex, maybe fsck? [13:12] Duesentrieb, http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/karmic/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/ for karmic [13:12] noob...what can i say?:) [13:12] benn: double good luck in that case ;) [13:12] trijntje, yeah I know about that plugin, and its rubbish! lol. apps always start up top right corner, not where they left off.. I`ll have a look around [13:12] Neosano: yea, saw it. wondering if kubuntu also has it. but i can always just install the kde desktop plater [13:13] anyone can tell me how to use airocrack? [13:13] Duesentrieb yea, you'll have to install some features yourself :) But I don't think it's a problem [13:13] mgvl, I guess it's wrong channel, isn't it? [13:13] there seems to be a wireless problem in my acer aspire one netbook. i left my netbook turned on and took a nap and after i returned i'm not able to connect to the net via the netbook. although the net works fine on my desktop. I've noticed this happening very often when the connection is left idle. The connection isnt working even when i restart nm-applet. any ideas? [13:14] duffydack: hmm, if the windows are not full size they remember where to start, at least the programs i configured with that plugin do.. [13:14] trijntje: thx....will reboot now to see what i`ve done:))) [13:14] mgvl, you can even try searching in youtube :) Lots of help there [13:14] shengzi: 'fsck' fixes _logical_ problems, not physical ones. [13:14] SingAlong: try suspending and resuming it [13:15] bobbyd: you mean suspending the netbook and then resuming it? [13:15] SingAlong: nothing special, happens often. [13:15] SingAlong: if that works, look in /var/log/syslog for errors about not being able to wake up the interface [13:15] SingAlong: yep [13:15] SingAlong: my netbook seems to flake out sometimes, a quick suspend fixes it [13:15] bobbyd: you have the same netbook> [13:16] shengzi: of course physical problems can create logical problems, but if you get ATA errors, you have physical problems. [13:16] SingAlong: I've got *a* netbook that does something similar :) [13:16] bobbyd: :) [13:16] hm, i think i'll wait for the official release of karmic before seriously upgrading [13:17] but i'll play with it on my spare partition :) [13:17] seems like pretty much all vm solutions seem to be broken [13:17] SingAlong: 02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01) [13:18] Walex, is there anyway i can chanel the output of "dmesg" into a file? [13:18] bobbyd: curious to know if its an acer aspire one or an eeepc [13:18] vmware 2.0 is hopeless, xen seems to be hopelessly broken, kvm reports duff cpu model info, [13:18] incorrect: everything is broken, to a degree. [13:18] shengzi: 'dmesg > /tmp/file' for example [13:18] Walex, tell me about it [13:18] Walex, thanks [13:19] shengzi: but the output of 'dmesg' should also be in '/var/log/messsages' [13:19] incorrect: and VM is a popular/trendy thing -- a lot of people then want a boost to their careers byt writing some half-assed VM subsystem to look cool. [13:20] Hello, does anyone know if there's a way to have a virtual machine with 2 (virtual) monitors ? [13:20] I'd like to test a few problems in Karmic that encounter with the current release [13:20] Walex, seems so [13:20] incorrect: and VM susbsystems are not that easy to write. So we struggle. [13:20] trijntje: nope....doesn`t work:( [13:21] phiphi: surely there is a way, the question is whether the VM emulates a VGA card with two monitors. Unlikly. [13:21] someone pls help me with editing the grub so that to load from an compiled kernel..... [13:21] Walex, are you writing one? [13:21] benn: where are you form? maybe people in your local ubuntu channel can help you === trucMuche is now known as Guest1536 [13:21] what's a good console-based imap client? [13:21] incorrect: nooo. Far too complex an subtle. [13:21] How do I update the package database via cli? [13:21] Walex, Neosano: doesn't look like i can run the installer from a mounted iso. it's all compressed into initrd.gz [13:21] Walex, thanks, can you have alook at http://paste.ubuntu.com/274628/ its my dmseg [13:22] trijntje: nope:)don`t think so:)i`m from Moldova...guess you`ve never heard about this country:) [13:22] Pinchiukas, sudo apt-get update. Read man apt-get for more information [13:22] Duesentrieb: you can if you boot the ISO. [13:22] Duesentrieb: or if you run 'deboostrap'. [13:22] Walex: i don't *want* to boot the iso, that#s the entiere point :) i want to run the installer off a runing ubuntu :) [13:23] Duesentrieb: run it into a virtual machine. Else use 'deboostrap' [13:23] Walex: but debootstrap doesn't run the normal installer. it installs a base system. not what i want. [13:23] Thanks trijntje. [13:23] benn: well I've heard about that country, but not about an ubuntu channel there ;) [13:23] Duesentrieb: you can't run an installer in a running ubuntu, because your harddrive would be mounted... what you COULD do is mount the ISO and add it as a source to your update-manager or synaptic [13:23] what i want is basically what wubi does for windows. [13:24] moymoy: but i don't wnat to update the running system. i want to install to a blank partition. which is not mounted. [13:24] trijntje: you`ve heard about moldova????wear:)))))where are you from?gues that europe:) [13:24] Duesentrieb: that's like installing a virtual machine [13:24] Duesentrieb: oh [13:24] moymoy: huh? no. i don#t want to run it in parallel. [13:25] Hi #ubuntu I've got a quick question regarding iptables... does someone know how to change the listening in a port like 127.0.0.1:port to 0.0.0.0:port? [13:25] I wonder if there is a disk check utility i can run on ubuntu to check my hard disk? [13:25] hi, i cant see to get and extended desktop display with Kubuntu jaunty, KDE 4.3.1, with and intel 915 graphics card using and external VGA moniter and the LVDS, i know this is the Ubuntu channel, but no one in the kubuntu channel seems to be replying so i thought it was worth a shot [13:25] benn: yes, holland/netherlands [13:25] Nearsight, I dont I am a doof with networking however if no one here can help you may fare better in ##linux channel :) [13:25] trijntje: lucky for you:) [13:25] hi anyone help me, how to convert avi,mpeg to 3gp file extension? [13:26] coz_: porbably a better place to look for answers, thanks [13:26] in ubuntu 9.04 [13:26] screw it, i will go back to kvm, that has more chance of working in time [13:26] Duesentrieb: i don't think you can install if any part of your harddrive is mounted.. because there are people that burn the ISO onto their partitions and boot the ISO off of their harddrive and not be able to install onto another partition.. === Vtec|sleep is now known as Wizards [13:26] nobreakmaibam, mmm not sure but you may want to try Handbradke [13:26] shengzi: there are no errors in your 'dmesg'. [13:26] nobreakmaibam, sorry thats Handbrake [13:26] hi anyone help me, how to convert avi,mpeg to 3gp file extension? in ubuntu :-) [13:26] shengzi: also you are trying to use hibernation/suspend to disk. That often does not work. [13:26] help :-) [13:26] I've done a apt-get remove proftpd and now I want to reinstall proftpd but when I do an apt-get install proftpd it doesn't end up in /etc/proftpd not in /etc/init.d. What might I be doing wrong? [13:27] Walex, i figured so, this time it booted stright with no errors- can i see the logs from previous boots? [13:27] Is there a way to lower my system load? I only have 2 XChats and a torrent program open and my system load is 2.01 [13:27] nobreakmaibam: there are lots of online HOWTOs on that. Have a look at 'mencoder'. [13:27] nobreakmaibam, http://handbrake.fr/downloads.php === Guest1536 is now known as trucMuche [13:27] System > Administration menu is missing in my Kubunu 8.10 installation. How do i get it back? [13:27] Wizards: check what are the two programs with 'top' [13:27] moymoy: if that is true, it's silly. if i have a system running off the hd, it should be able to repartition. the installer should simpyl tell me that. [13:27] someone pls help me with editing the grub so that to load from an compiled kernel..... [13:27] nobreakmaibam, http://handbrake.fr/downloads.php [13:27] benn: there are many, many, many GRUB tutorials. [13:27] Walex what is top? [13:27] Wizards: command line program. just run it. [13:28] moymoy: it just seems silly to have to *burn* a cd to boot a dummy system just to run an installer. it feels very 90s :) [13:28] Walex: can i PM you? [13:28] Wizards, or install htop which is far better [13:28] video converter softwares for ubuntu ???? i want to videos for my mobile phone [13:28] i have htop already [13:28] what do i do now? [13:28] just installing the OS onto some free partitions shouldn't require a reboot at all. why would it? [13:28] benn: yes, but what's the point? Are you going to ask a question that is private? [13:28] um coz :-) [13:28] wait [13:28] i will see it [13:28] but maybe it's traditional :) [13:28] Walex no..just not to flood here [13:29] Wizards: and what are the programs that consume most CPU time? [13:29] nobreakmaibam, handbrake is a more complex application but it should work [13:29] benn: that's fine, send by PM. [13:29] nobreakmaibam, not sure but you might also want to try Lives [13:29] ok, so... let me rephrase. [13:29] nobreakmaibam: have you tied some of this? http://www.google.com.ar/search?sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=convert+avi,mpeg+to+3gp+ubuntu [13:29] is there a good reason i need to boot from a dummy system in order to run the installer? [13:29] let me try coz : [13:30] benn: that syntax looks good. prhaps remove "quiet splash" so you can see what is happening during the boot. [13:30] Hi, I have a question regarding updates. Is it safe to modify css-files in joomla and modules without them being replaced when installing updates? I understand this is dependent on how the modules work but what is the general case? [13:30] Walex, what do you mean cpu time? I see CPU% and then I see TIME+ [13:30] Walex: and "ro" also to delete? [13:30] Wizards: CPU% [13:30] wow my load is 3.05 now [13:31] Ooops sorry wrong channel :) [13:31] benn: no, "ro" is good. [13:31] Walex: and now?reboot and see what it says? [13:31] Walex, i have searched for the word error in all my dmesg files but found none, from your experience do you think i should get a new hard disc? [13:32] benn: yes, and it is likely to work, if the UUIDs are right, and the 'initrd' has the right modules. [13:32] Walex, I'm not finding anything more than 2.0..and that's firefox [13:32] shengzi: from that 'dmesg' the problem seems to be that you are trying to use hibernate on a system on which it is not reliable. [13:32] Walex: i-ve coppied the UUIDs from the kernel that loads now,the last version [13:33] Wizards: then don't worry -- the load average is not always that reliable. [13:33] but my pc is slow >.< [13:33] I'm going to restart [13:33] coz: here is given it can give mp4 n MKV file format in thier site???? [13:34] their ** [13:34] Walex, I see...but I wasn't trying to hibernate,,,,,maybe i f i somehow switch off the hibernate option this would stop? but sometimes the system doesn't boot at all, it doesnt even get to grub... [13:34] shengzi: if it does not get to GRUB then there is a hw problem indeed. And I would switch hibernate off, just in case. [13:35] #django [13:35] Walex, is there someway i can check the disc thru ubuntu now that it booted? [13:35] Walez: it`s ok that i coppied the UUID from another kernel? [13:36] shengzi: not very reliably. Try 'smartctl -l /dev/sda' [13:36] benn: that should be good. [13:36] hi i cant seam to get sount atall on my laptop ho dv6 [13:36] Walex, thanks will try that [13:36] !intelhda | john112 [13:36] john112: For fixing your Intel HDA sound this page has useful information https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto [13:36] Walez: don`t know....i`ve rebooted and it didn`t worked:( i`ll try again [13:37] kk thanks [13:37] coz: u der? [13:37] problems with audio skype! doyou know??? [13:38] anyone have an idea how I can reinstall proftpd? I apt-get remove proftpd and then rm -rf /etc/proftpd but now when i apt-get install proftpd it doesn't create/install the files in /etc/proftp --- any one know what I got to do to get it to install again??? [13:38] Duesentrieb: ubuntu comes with a usb-boot-disk creator .. it's somwhere in the menu.. i think system/administrator [13:38] moymoy: i still need to reboot for no good reason - but at least i wouldn't waste a disk. [13:39] hi there, does anyone have a good working AMD motherboard? [13:39] moymoy: also... then i have a usb boot stick. how would i run the installer? all a bit silly :) i want Wubi for linux :) [13:39] I have problems with my MSI K9N Neo V2 [13:41] i could try to run wubi from wine :P [13:41] lulz [13:41] I need to convert an xubuntu wubi install to a real install and go ext4 :O [13:41] how to convert avi mpg to 3pg in ubuntu [13:41] any softwares' [13:41] ??????????????/ [13:42] 3gp *** [13:42] * dev_n00b draws the Veve of Papa Legba on the floor [13:42] * dev_n00b gets candles and chicken bones [13:42] gonna be a long day [13:42] * dev_n00b wonders if he should take his concerta normally, or snort it [13:44] does everyone see a "/notice" message or is it private?

[13:45] I'm using an EEE PC [13:45] 7014G surf [13:45] interesting [13:45] dev_n00b: also, I vastly recommend JFS instead of 'ext4'. [13:45] I want the 900 with the 16gb SSD... saw it for 219 after shipping [13:46] Walex, reason? [13:46] I' ve just installed ubuntu can someone recommend me a good starter guide? [13:46] captine: if blurry, either the hw resolution is not right, or it is via VGA and the screen has a poor VGA sync or VGA decoder, or the card (usually) as a poor VGA output. [13:46] dev_n00b: check out the Corsair SSD SATA drives, very good value. [13:46] ahhh... proper music. Rhymetorrents [13:46] how to install kadu on linux ubunt [13:46] ???

[13:47] just wish i could find the right settings [13:47] captine: what syncmaster? [13:47] Walex, the 701 4G surf has no additional PCI_E_MINI and the 4GB preinstalled is Surface Mount Soldered [13:47] trijntje: I pasted from a xorg.conf file that used the same monitor [13:47] dev_n00b: anyhow neither 'ext4' nor JFS are appropriate for an SSD. [13:47] trijntje: syncmaster 713N [13:47] well, her desktop is what I will be working on [13:47] dev_n00b: for an SSD try 'ext2' or NILS2 [13:47] trijntje: x doesnt auto detect it. had it running at 640x480 earlier [13:48] 120GB IDE BOOT, 640GB SATA on a Netcell 5000 card [13:48] Mert: http://www.ubuntupocketguide.com/index_main.html [13:48] dev_n00b: regrettably hournaling does bad things to an SSD.

[13:53] Walex, can you have a look at my smartctl check at http://paste.ubuntu.com/274644/ ? [13:53] legend2440, when i uncheck it all the files go one pixel to the left [13:53] anli_: when you resize a partition with parted, the fs should stay ok. though there's no guarantee. and defragging first is recommended (of applicable to that fs) [13:53] Walex, trijntje thanks for the help. will have to wait, or just use remote desktop to the ubuntu machine. [13:53] captine: I found that if I play carefully with the LCD sync/autosync it gets a bit better. [13:54] What FS would be recommended for a fresh install?

[13:56] Powersource: in terminal type gconf-editor browse to apps/nautilus/preferences/sidebar_width mine is set to 190 [13:56] what laptop? [13:56] benn: It's not bad. It is just the best default option. It is a little shaky. It will most likely be default in Ubuntu 9.10. [13:56] dev_n00b, its called lenovo tianyi 200 [13:56] benn: 'man mkinitrd' and it is not trivial [13:56] from china... [13:56] shengzi , two types, SATA and IDE. just screw it out when you take it to the store. [13:56] benn: it is a command you run before rebooting. [13:56] ok...

[13:57] Walex, i see....can it be some other HW problem, maybe motherboard? [13:57] shengzi: your disk, at least from the 'smartctl' output, seems good. It has had some errors, but withing normal for a long lived disk. I suspect your problem is use of hibernation. [13:57] legend2440, thanks alot! [13:57] Shengzi, did you get the link? [13:58] oooh. Hibernation :O [13:58] eboyjr: don`t know...using ext4 [13:58] Powersource: did that fix it? [13:58] dev_n00b, no,,,,which? [13:58] Walex, how do i disable hiberantion?

I plug it in, then it becomes the default and I play music through Exaille... now the sound comes out of the laptop speakers. any idea if a package could be responsible ? [13:59] shengzi: I never used hibernation because it is usually so unreliable, as well as very insecure. [13:59] Walex, ok ...thanks ...i'll google it... [13:59] eboyjr: don`t know.read to put ext4 on 9.04.i`ve putted ext4.i`m a noob in linux:) [14:00] hey Walex - had my monitor connected to computer using a monitor extension. removed the extra piece of cable, and all is good. must have been causing bad signal. Crystal clear gnome desktop. [14:00] Hello, I'm running Ubuntu 9.04 in a virtual machine with DHCP, but it gets assigned a 10.0.2.X address, while my host is on anthother machine. Is this an Ubuntu fix or does it have something to do with the virtual machine? [14:00] shengzi: usually, suspend-to-ram is a lot more reliable and keeps state for days. [14:00] benn: It's fine. I have heard that ext4 is faster. [14:00] hi i did this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto the first part anyway, but not the otherhalf [14:00] dev_n00b, oh - i got the link...this is for laptop ,rght?

[14:01] ty Walex [14:01] dawkirst: tats normal [14:01] shengzi, it is for laptop [14:01] Walex, the stange thing is that i never tried to hibernate it, it never booted for longer than 20 minutes, maybe the hibernation kicked in in the wrong time... [14:01] you could also search for 2.5" 7200 RPM drives on Newegg [14:01] shengzi: if it is a supported laptop, it tries to hibernate every time you close the lid. [14:01] I have a 120gb in my sons laptop [14:02] shengzi: the other possibility is that hibernation is configured wrong and tries to restart from the wrong partition. [14:02] dawkirst: vbox uses its own network to link to the real outside world, you can bridge the connection to get the virtual machine visible from the outside world and it ill get an IP from your real network [14:02] ActionParsnip: can I change it? [14:02] dev_n00b, thanks,,,,cheap....but i dont live in america,,,i'll look for it on taobao.com [14:02] Thanks ActionParsnip [14:02] okies :) [14:03] dawkirst: you can change the addressing of the virtual lan but it achieves nothing [14:03] I recently updated 9.04 and realized my laptop's volume wheel no longer controls my laptops volume. If I spin the wheel, the notification with the speaker appears and it will change the image (from mute to sound to max, etc), but the actually volume doesn't change at all. The only way I can change the sound is if I click the speaker button on my panel and slide it with my mouse. Anybody know how to fix this? [14:03] ActionParsnip: how can I bridge it tho? [14:03] Walex, thank you for your help [14:03] Shengzi, ùyòngkèqi [14:03] dev_n00b: hibernate is often hit and miss, as is suspend[-to-ram]. It's not a Linux problem, actually. It's just a hard problem period. Devices go into funny states and it's not always easy for the kernel to restore/reset it clearly. [14:03] dawkirst: check the settings of the vbox when it is powered off, its all there, more precise support can be found in #vbox [14:03] argh [14:03] missed the b [14:04] b ùyòngkèqi [14:04] copy paste fail [14:04] lol [14:04] dev_n00b, i only see squares...!

I use No Machine NX as remote desktop, to connect to it from my windows based computer. I have 2 external hard drives. When I start my computer with screen connected to it, at sitting with it localy the external drives mount. But when I start my computer without screen connected, I log on with remote desktop, the hard drives wont mount. [14:11] Baba_B00ie: if you right click the red Logout icon on top tight panel and choose Remove it puts Shutdown back under System [14:11] Their visible, but they wont mount.. [14:11] I recently updated 9.04 and realized my laptop's volume wheel no longer controls my laptops volume.

You can offcourse install it in a virtual machine and copy it over. but you won´t be able to start the installer from within ubuntu [14:58] Burning a disc is easiest [14:59] sllll [14:59] mslootweg: ya, burning a disk would be the easiest but unfortunately i don't have any now.. so aren't there any tools available using which I can install slackware using the ISOs on my local machine..

[16:44] excuse me. is this the right place for asking a question on xubuntu? [16:45] Mert: rtorrent [16:45] I install a lamp server and forward it as following from portforward.com [16:45] shally87: #xubuntu may work better [16:45] but i still cannot access my server from outside [16:45] rtorrent checking [16:45] thank you!

I tried the various devices in "sound", none of the them works [16:48] hi I am trying to configure Netbeans for gtk+ apps, can any one please give me good links [16:48] :< [16:49] tha matter is I installed xubuntu in a usb stick. it boots and works ok. but I have trouble using my stick in windows. windows says I should format it. how can I use it in windows too? [16:49] can I partition it somehow? [16:50] oscar: ext2file browser for windows [16:51] excuse me. can you give me more info about that ext2file. I am new in ubuntu and windiws ))) [16:52] is it a program I should install in windows? [16:52] oscar: Check how its partiioned.. and How did you install xubuntu to it? [16:52] oscar: if you used Unetbootin or the USB creater tool to make a 'live xubuntu flash drive' you could use the remainder of the space by windows. [16:53] is the ubuntu 9.04 packaging guide avialable online? [16:53] I only found it on amazon [16:54] benc: yes. Just google it [16:55] Do you mean the commercially available book with that title, or just docs that match that description? [16:55] oscar: if you installed it as you would to a normal hard drive. then you will need some tools to let windows read/access the ext# filesystem.. Unless you left a ntfs/vfat partition for windows to use. [16:55] Padhu: couldn't find it [16:55] oscar: http://www.fs-driver.org/ [16:55] hi [16:56] The book itself should be at linbrary.com [16:56] got problem (and thats the other reason that i`m here) [16:56] I did not leave any space for any partition. I used the whole space [16:56] benc: "Ubuntu 9.04 Packaging Guide" on google gives me amazon, ebay... [16:56] oscar: if you installed it as you would to a normal hard drive. then you will need some tools to let windows read/access the ext# filesystem. [16:57] oscar: and those tools - at fs-driver.org dont work in Win7 last i checked... [16:57] ubuntu 904/XFi souncard/ pulse audio installed/ XFiDrv installed.. no sound... and i`m a freshman [16:57] anyone? [16:57] benc: ubuntuguide.com, i think. I just forget the exact name. sorry :-( === kb is now known as Guest7852 [16:58] thank you. as far as I understand it means that I need to install it in windows right? so I cant use my stick in every windows that I come across while traveling [16:58] Kur..a!! [16:58] oscar: you dedicated your whole fash drive to linux.... [16:59] yes I did (((( unfortunately [16:59] oscar: go buy a 2nd flash drive for your windoes stuff. :) I find 4gb on sale for $15 this weekend. [16:59] 8gb were $25 [16:59] hahha. I really whoud [16:59] picked up a bunch of 2gb last xmas for $5 [17:00] I really should. but carrying 2 sticks is not ok ))) [17:00] oscar: OR you can do a 'usb-live-type install' [17:00] 2 is not ok? gee.. I must carry about 8 :) [17:00] I think I'll try that [17:00] * Dr_Willis has a necklace.

[17:05] !virus > TheLinuxMoron [17:05] TheLinuxMoron, please see my private message [17:05] TheLinuxMoron, see http://librenix.com/?inode=21 for a little background to your question [17:06] TheLinuxMoron: avg has a free one and theres clamav also.. May be some others... [17:06] benc: I doubt it's the same, but it's a decent enough document on packaging for current Ubuntu. [17:06] TheLinuxMoron: Antivirus isn't practical on desktops---but, if you use anything, use ClamAV, [17:06] in 9.04, how do i configure my multibutton mouse? i used xorg.conf previously to remap my buttons and such [17:06] <^mNotIntelligent> hello everyone [17:06] lluad: thanks [17:06] Ive never had clamav find anything.. while other av tools (on other systems have) So im still undecided on clamav. [17:06] When in doubt.. i guess use more then 1 [17:07] is there any command to check the network speed? [17:08] dr_willis: well It maybe spyware but, my firefox keeps changing to add crap [17:08] pradeep: many use ntop, perhaps that will do. [17:08] pradeep: WAN or LAN network speed? [17:08] TheLinuxMoron: Hmm.. Ive neer had firefox get botherd by that stuff under Linux. [17:08] dr_willis: me either.. [17:08] TheLinuxMoron: make a new user - see if they have the same issue. [17:09] xps9000: wan [17:09] TheLinuxMoron: what is it 'adding' exactly? [17:09] TheLinuxMoron: could be a rogue site playing javascript games with you :) [17:09] NoScript Extension - is so handy [17:09] jeruv: maybe.. [17:09] rebooting brb [17:10] <^mNotIntelligent> Dr_Willis, I use that extension a lot..really a nice one [17:10] my workspace switcher isn't working :< [17:10] using Ubuntu 9.04 no audio! [17:10] oscar:linux partition file transfer speed is higher than windows partiton. I always use ext3 partiton with live CD. Puppy linux is best to use in pendrive. It's size is 250MB and rest of space can be used for carry data. [17:11] pradeep: Measuring WAN speed is rather complicated, due to different variations of router configuration, network traffic, what backbone the network is connected to. But, what I do... Is save a bunch of 100mb files on different servers, and I'll have the site I'm testing grab it with wget and it'll give you a rough estimation. But, remember to do servers in both distant and close networks to help. [17:11] <^mNotIntelligent> atheistrical, desktop/netbook make etc... [17:11] <^mNotIntelligent> AstroEl, are you using compiz?

Which tool does the switching ? [17:13] <^mNotIntelligent> AstroEl, why do you need to use a separate WS switcher, why not the in built one? [17:13] <^mNotIntelligent> AstroEl, whats wrong with the keyboard shortcuts for ws switcher [17:13] iro [17:15] i like using my mouse [17:15] it makes me feel important and dynamic [17:16] <^mNotIntelligent> AstroEl, use the keyboard shortcuts....

Use the ubuntu repositories instead, start "Synaptic" [17:19] Mert: If it's a tar.bz2 file, then it's a compressed archive.

[17:33] LjL: if you had used ubuntu+kde 3.5 you should know kde in that condition is very slow [17:33] dpkg -l |grep csw shows this pkg as installed... [17:33] ship: that's bollocks.

There should be no problems [17:34] LjL: am an older user . [17:34] * Dr_Willis is just old.

[17:35] -.-'' [17:35] no you don't, obviously, or you wouldn't be saying nonsense.

[17:36] Hello. [17:36] LjL: this is your point of view [17:36] LjL: mine is different [17:36] can i disable the searching behaviour in epiphany? i mean searching the history after typing [17:36] why doesnt someone write help windows in this OS? [17:36] ship: keep yours out of this channel then, because it is FACTUALLY WRONG [17:36] i reimaged over my ubuntu partition with crunchbang and now in getting a grub error 22 on boot [17:36] JoeSomebody: mount point is the point where root partion is mounted / [17:36] Is there some king of application to switch between Compiz-fusion and metacity? [17:36] LjL: this is your point of view. [17:36] *Kind. [17:36] JoeSomebody: every partition has a beginning and an end.. thus that defines its size... [17:36] LjL: i am a breezy user too. [17:37] Dr_Willis: Old age and cunning will triumph over youth and enthusiasm every time [17:37] JoeSomebody: and all filesystems get mounted SOMEWHERE / is the root partition. [17:37] JoeSomebody, Beginning is where the partition starts, End is where it finishes -- mount point is where the partition will be mounted on the file system - ie. the main partition on an Ubuntu system will get mounted as "/" others could be mounted as "/home/" etc... [17:37] LjL: i have seen a *lots* of bad stuff when you mess up the system. [17:37] ship: it is my point of view, which i suspect will be shared with the operators of this channel if it came to that. so, please don't suggest to people tht they shouldn't install KDE on Ubuntu or nonsense like that. [17:37] and my thinking is this don't mix the system [17:37] JoeSomebody: if you dont understand partitioning.. then resize your widnows parittions (from windows is one way) leave part of the hard drive UNALLOCATED. and let the installer auto partition the unallocated space. === siriusnova is now known as serios [17:38] ship: follow the link i gave, there 's a tutorial about how to separate KDE and Gnome apps [17:38] does anyone even like kde? i hate it [17:38] i dont want 180 gb for ububtu [17:38] spritle: i dont use it much any more [17:38] LjL: i suggest what i think it's true and not a bad system that require a lots of work to be set well , and ubuntu+kde it's a bad system that must be set well to work [17:38] i wiant to use about 40 [17:38] JoeSomebody: then use some smaller size.. we dont know your exact system needs/layout/requirements. [17:38] and i do understand windows well [17:38] JoeSomebody : resize ur partition [17:39] JoeSomebody: use windows.. resize.. leave 40gb or so in a unallocated part of the hard drive.. let installer use that. [17:39] If you understand windows well.. i dont see how you can have never partiioned drives befor. :) [17:39] so now then supposing I want to get that software on ubuntu how may i get it? [17:39] LjL: just to know i am a kdenlive programer... then. [17:39] JoeSomebody: how many drived do u have [17:39] JoeSomebody: how many drives do u have [17:39] this is my first time, HOW do i let the installer use that? [17:39] ship, please drop this issue -- there is NO difference between Kubuntu and Ubuntu+KDE - they are the same thing! Listend to LjL on this issue. [17:40] JoeSomebody: if theres unallocated space.. i belive the installer asks 'use unalocated' space. [17:40] ok, hope so :) [17:40] JoeSomebody: otherwise it asks to resize [17:40] ZykoticK9: mouhahahah [17:40] poor guy you don't see details [17:40] JoeSomebody: and from what ive seen the windows tools resize ntfs faster then linux tools do. [17:41] the issue is that. i have another point of view [17:41] and if someone ask me i will answer always the same [17:41] don't mix the system [17:42] * Dr_Willis installs ubuntu-desktop kubuntu-desktop xubuntu-desktop and.. err.. what else.. :) [17:42] killed 40 partition, went back and now i guess i pick - beats me [17:42] or gnome or kde. people don't want spend a lots of time to reading wiki , installing 2 system is the best way to try well both the desktop [17:43] how to find faulty hardisk?

[17:46] JoeSomebody: Since your having so much difficulty partioning your disks, why don't you just install Ubuntu from inside windows using wubi ? [17:46] http://wubi-installer.org/ [17:46] it will automatically modify your boot.ini file and you can boot to windows just as you do windows 7 and your other installs of windows. [17:46] If I install Ubuntu under Wubi and later want to make it the only operating system is it possible to transfer it so I don't have to start over? [17:47] hello, ubuntu detects my screen as a crt instead of an lcd, and therefor i cannot change my resolution to my native 1024x1280 :( [17:47] please help [17:47] is there a better alternative than webmin for ftp administration?

[17:48] i am sure you all didnt mean to , but now i am totally paraniod about damaging my windows drive here, maybe i will wait until i can afford another machine [17:48] ZykoticK9, if I'm not mistaken this is only a temporary setting. I'm speaking in xchat now tho. Thanks === magicben is now known as MagicBen [17:48] JoeSomebody: again, use wubi! [17:49] ManDay, that setting stays [17:49] how do i find the device name of my wifi (ie eth0) ubuntu 9.04? [17:49] I'll try ZykoticK9 [17:49] OB1FoShoB, ifconfig [17:49] OB1FoShoB: ifconfig -a [17:50] didn't take the command [17:50] what's the clipboard variable? like gimp $clipboardvar to load clipboard image data into gimp [17:50] If you can install notepad++ in windows, then you are capable of installing Ubuntu in windows using wubi! [17:50] ship: have you tried using a tasksel instead of the metapackage? [17:50] OB1FoShoB, run the command in a terminal window [17:50] #ubuntu.it [17:50] i did [17:50] bash: ipconfig: command not found [17:50] OB1FoShoB, iFconfig [17:50] OHHH thanks [17:51] nice ty === Rei-chan|Ghostin is now known as Rei-chan [17:52] friend list is not shown in pidgin [17:52] How can I tell if I am running Ubuntu 8.11 Intrepid or 8.04 Hardy please? === azarion is now known as anahel [17:53] ok read up on wubi, don't want that, i want a real install [17:53] speaking of Pidgin - has anyone had any success with the pidgin-facebookchat ? Mine connects then says something like "chat no available" and disconnects. [17:53] can anyone recommend a linux cbt? [17:54] or a beginners book? [17:54] johnnyfavorite, not the "supported" method but "cat /etc/issue" works for me. [17:54] evenin' all [17:55] Well you would have to do a better job of defining a "real" install. If you are worried about performance, there is virtually no loss in performance running ubuntu from a "virtual" wubi disk. As for being "real" you can use ubuntu the same in every way using wubi that you can by performing a disk install. [17:55] how to turn off compression in 7za/7zr? [17:55] any help please. pidgin now showing contact list of gtalk [17:57] danbhfive: i have tried this : ...then ubuntu +kde then ---> kubuntu i have seen difference. on performance and in some stuff , like button on kommander that it didn't seen and many other little stuff [17:57] crap, setup ubuntu adhoc, everything was working fine, rebooted the xp (client) pc and now it's pulling bogus ip info :-( [17:57] these difference in *serveral * pc has lead to me to use ubuntu and kubuntu without mixing. [17:58] you can of course try to remove a lots of packages from ubuntu to get kernelbuntu+kde but it's a waste of time [17:58] then you wanna see gnome missed up menu ?

[18:02] it should be built in to throw in the cd and go - under windows, will that work? i'm guessing not [18:03] Hi people, quick question. With Emerald is there a basic package of themes I can download as opposed to downloading individual ones? Thanks. [18:03] JoeSomebody, Linux is separate from windows, it is its own operating system [18:04] if i put a win7 dvd in say, xp, it will install, and it is its own OS [18:05] it i smart enuf to run / install [18:05] why cant this be? [18:05] JoeSomebody, linux is different, you need to reboot your machine after you put the CD in [18:06] well doing that again now [18:06] JoeSomebody, read this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot [18:06] make sure you don't reformat your windows partition [18:06] THAT IS WHY I AM HERE [18:06] hey.. how do i forward the irc ports from your router to the irc server [18:06] not sure why, but if anyone has adhoc ubuntu server may need to manually input ip config on client pc [18:06] please tell me how not avoid that [18:07] please tell me how to avoid that [18:07] JoeSomebody: avoid what?

[18:07] ActionParsnip and whats that?

[18:09] ^mNotIntelligent: what application can I use to find out my ram size and what is a general rule for deciding? [18:09] U8untu: is the router a domestic grae router, or is it a full pc acting as a router? [18:10] can someone help me if it's possible to run a windows executable file in ubuntu?

[18:11] Is there a way to make a program start right whenI log in? [18:11] <^mNotIntelligent> KittyBoots, the old school rule: swap = 2 x ram doesnot apply anymore as now-a-days you've a lot of ram with all sys... [18:11] U8untu: you could have all windows based PCs and configuring the router would be the same [18:11] does it require that i install it?

[18:13] U8untu: yes it will work, your router will have a different config for setting up port forwarding / virtual server [18:13] ActionParsnip: I guess that'll do. [18:13] ActionParsnip: thanks [18:13] U8untu: you need your manual or an online manual on how to do it [18:13] ^mNotIntelligent: Thanks! [18:13] i dont have a manual..

[18:15] yeah [18:15] newbie here [18:15] U8untu: the irc server will listen on a port (most likely 6667) you need to verify the port you are listeningh on for your IRC server and forward that port [18:15] i'm just trying it [18:15] and...just confused [18:16] <^mNotIntelligent> outspoke, what exactly is your prob...put details of your problem...and use nick in the begining of each response [18:16] U8untu: configuring of dlink / netgear / whatever routers is unike between providers and even model so is impossible for anyoine to guide you unless they have the exact router you have (unlikely) [18:16] <^mNotIntelligent> outspoke, everyone has gone through that phase once...so dont worry [18:16] and how to forward it ActionParsnip ? it will work if i am connected through LAN ? === ralph is now known as vaKor [18:16] my xorg uses 60% cpu and I have an intel integrated card, what am I supposed to do [18:16] U8untu: yes it will work on lan [18:17] ubuntu is *very* slow [18:17] U8untu: you will just accept extra connectiuons from the outside world as your router has been told to allow that port access [18:17] and new windows load in bars from top to bottom [18:17] Laurens: have yuo installed and configured video drivers? [18:17] Laurens, do you have Compiz turned on? [18:17] yes [18:17] * U8untu brb .. [18:17] Compiz is on afaik, but with no effects [18:17] yeah turn compiz off [18:18] Laurens: are you fully updated?

[18:54] yes [18:54] <^mNotIntelligent> pronoy, are you able to open keybinding menu? [18:54] Hey guys, sorry, I didn't properly phrase my question earlier. Actually, I meant will running two similar programs at the same time cause problems with Ubuntu? [18:54] zopiac, i have it installed but working - no. It will only connect for a few seconds for me??? I asked a little while ago, but no one replied.

[18:55] Celroc: you mean like running 2 media players at once? [18:55] LioN__: can you give the output please [18:56] Celroc: depends on the programs. could be no problem at all, or it might not work at all. [18:56] I'll save people time and just ask if anybody knows what the root keyboard program is [18:56] zopiac, have you tried "sudo apt-get install libjson-glib-1.0-0" ? [18:56] I.e. the thing that runs at startup to enable the keyboard [18:56] ctmjr: I guess I just meant two similar programs in general [18:56] hi [18:56] i have question [18:56] ok [18:56] just a sec [18:56] ZykoticK9: yeah, but the installer says i dont have a version higher than 0.7.6 [18:56] anbody could help me ?? === genii-2 is now known as genii-around [18:56] ^mNotIntelligent the issue is in Global_keybindings [18:56] stefanjr: Ask it first [18:57] stefanjr_, you will have to ask the question first [18:57] ^mNotIntelligent unable to use ctrl T [18:57] ^mNotIntelligent works only with T [18:57] ctmjr: I guess I remember being told that running two AVs at the same time on Windows was a bad idea.... and was told that two similar programs would cause problems... [18:57] <^mNotIntelligent> pronoy, do you have compiz enabled? [18:57] when i leave my ubuntu idle overnight, i wake up and my mouse pointer is no longer there. i'm on 9.04, i can see it highlighting stuff yet no pointer. i have to restart to get it back [18:57] so i have a custom built computer running jaunty. after ~12 hours, i can't hear sound anymore; going to alsamixer yields => ""alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device"... i've tried using my sound blaster live card and built in mobo sound but it happens with either card. rebooting restores sound. ideas?

[18:58] it doesn't start [18:58] ActionParsnip: Where would I do that?

(audacity) [19:01] how do i control the ftp behaviour of GVFS ? I need to make it maintain ftp activity every 25secs to prevent connection loss [19:02] Celroc: it's the programs that are incompatible with each other (using the same resources) it is not in the os [19:02] ^mNotIntelligent http://www.backupcentral.com/phpBB2/two-way-mirrors-of-external-mailing-lists-3/backuppc-21/notes-on-seagate-free-agent-drive-91901/ [19:02] <^mNotIntelligent> ZoeyMarie, go ahead [19:02] MasterofPuppets: just add the option to the end of the kernel lines [19:02] i run on 64b, and before i install ub-studio package you tube run well [19:02] LioN__: sudo dpkg --force-all -i /var/cache/apt/archives/language-pack-kde-pt_1%3a9.04+20090803.2_all.deb [19:02] rdm: uninstall all flash plugins then reinstall the adobe one === Dragon is now known as Guest20196 [19:03] ^mNotIntelligent I searched for this (seagate freeagent st305004fdm201-rk linux drivers) === eddyp is now known as eddy [19:03] rdm: Ok... next, after hitting "play" for the video, pause it for a little bit; this gives it time to buffer and should run more smoothly === eddy is now known as ewp [19:03] man [19:03] ctmjr: Ah, I see.

Should I pastebin it? [19:03] i yet tried [19:03] zopiac, details?

[19:05] dpreacher: has nothing to do with OS [19:05] <^mNotIntelligent> ZoeyMarie, then you miss the chance of gettting your prob fixed/looked-at [19:05] i don' t have gnash and swdec, you know [19:05] LioN__: ii think there was a file in the deb file that already existed, so i told it to just go for it [19:06] rdm: those commands wil check [19:06] rdm: you cant have more than 1 flash plugin installed or they fight and you get nothing [19:06] humm [19:06] i'll remember [19:06] Mike_lifeguard thanks for clarifying...i was pointing at the conventions of camel case/hungarian style variable naming in the windows platform languages [19:06] where's the font folder in jaunty?

Here's the pastebin: http://pastebin.com/m5203bd7 [19:07] kl_, rm ~/.gnome2/keyrings/default.keyring [19:07] dpreacher: avoiding spaces is common in lots of things, since they often need to be escaped, which is a pain if you can avoid it [19:07] Thanks for the help, all. Guess I'm gonna log out now. Bye, and have a good day! [19:07] how do i control the ftp behaviour of GVFS ? I need to make it maintain ftp activity every 25secs to prevent connection loss [19:07] <^mNotIntelligent> ZoeyMarie, cool... [19:07] kl_, then you should be able to enter a new one [19:07] the command doesn' t give any output [19:08] Mike_lifeguard I agree [19:08] ewp: won't I lose all password associate with that keyring password? [19:08] is there anyone here who would be able to help me get my sound to work [19:08] jake, what's the problem? [19:08] kl_, ah you may be right [19:08] <^mNotIntelligent> dpreacher, the links talks in detail about accessing the free agent ext hd..did you try thta? [19:08] I unistall flash with purge and after I install another time , but it, s the some (only in fullscreen mode) [19:09] ZoeyMarie, I have no sound :P [19:09] jake, are the speakers plugged in? are you trying to play music? [19:09] starting from the basics. ;) [19:09] what program are you using to test? [19:09] ActionParsnip: At the end of the most recent generic kernel line? [19:09] ^mNotIntelligent, not getting the part about getting the drive /dev path [19:10] ewp: I know how to change the keyring password but I wan't it to sync with my login password so when I change my login password I do not have to change the keyring password as well. [19:10] kl_, i never looked but maybe you can change it in Accessories -> Password and Encryption Keys [19:10] ActionParsnip: Or at the end of all of them [19:10] rdm: ok thats cool, try: sudo apt-get --purge remove flashplugin-installer flashplugin-nonfree; sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [19:10] kl_, oh i have no clue then there [19:10] MasterofPuppets: just the one you use [19:10] <^mNotIntelligent> dpreacher, can you be more specific...paste the command htats nto working [19:10] ActionParsnip: Okays then [19:10] ZoeyMarie, would it makes sense that a sudo apt-get update sort my sound? [19:11] ciao [19:11] ciao [19:11] ewp: Okies, thanks [19:11] ^mNotIntelligent I tried sudo fdisk -l, sudo dmesg| grep -i sd and lsusb. I am not able to determine the /dev/path for the freeagent drive [19:11] jake, you mean, would running sudo apt-get update fix it? I dunno... I suppose it could depend on what's causing the problem. Unless you're asking if an update caused it. shrugs [19:11] kl_: What is it you're trying to do? (latecomer) [19:11] has it ever worked before? [19:12] ciao [19:12] ^mNotIntelligent, did you get a chance to look at the pastebin? [19:12] ZoeyMarie, i updated and my gforce 8800 GT is now working... but it asked me to enable proprietary drivers for that. It didnt mention anything to me about the sound and that now works too [19:12] jake, so your sound works now? [19:12] ZoeyMarie, thanks for the help - it's all down to you that i now have sound :D [19:12] <^mNotIntelligent> dpreacher, looks weird to me... [19:12] arand: I want my gnome-keyring password to sync with my login password. [19:12] <^mNotIntelligent> ZoeyMarie, looking at it [19:12] jake, haha. I don't think I did much, but I'll take the thanks. ;) [19:13] ^mNotIntelligent, thaaaank you. [19:13] how do i control the ftp behaviour of GVFS ? I need to make it maintain ftp activity every 25secs to prevent connection loss [19:13] <^mNotIntelligent> ZoeyMarie, np [19:13] If I have switched to key authentication for ssh, how do I disable password authentication on my account? [19:13] ciao [19:13] airtonix: you could cron a job to use the connection [19:14] anybody an idea how to merge *.mov files? [19:14] ActionParsnip, is that the only way [19:14] HOLAAA === Commie_Cary is now known as Lenin_Cat [19:14] ^mNotIntelligent did you get any helpful results in that regard?

So you mean that a login should create an "allowed timeout" for also using the keyring? [19:16] Anyone willing to share their interfaces file with me? [19:16] ^mNotIntelligent, Dang... is there a way around that? Downgrading to before the regression or something?

[20:12] konza: ubuntu doesn't have any ports open and responsive by default [20:12] webbb82: try "mc" i find it has a good file finder :) [20:12] Justicepsion-> why not use dd to clear the mbr spaces? [20:12] konza: welcome to a secure system [20:13] smerz, actually, that's the tool I'm using. For some reason when I set the default input device to "alsa_input.usb_device_46d_8b3_noserial_if1_sound_card_0_alsa_capture_0", it doesn't seem to change the setting from "alsa_input.pci_8086_284b_sound_card_0_alsa_capture_0" [20:13] n8tuser: what are the args that I should use?

[20:15] grikdog: yes quite often. works flawlessly [20:16] smerz: not my experience, but thanks [20:16] Justicepsion-> did you try man dd yet? [20:17] ubuntu: did you set before you wget or apt an http_proxy? like " export HTPP_PROXY=ip_for_proxy" ? [20:17] smerz: does it create a live CD of the ubuntu system, coz thats what made remastersys tick according to me [20:17] smerz: iso image of the installed system [20:17] t [20:17] ewp, Myrtti : why is it showing that the system is not up when i use nmap? [20:17] smerz, are you talking about midnight commander? [20:17] konza: but it is up, when you ping it [20:17] n8tuser: http://www.geocities.com/rlcomp_1999/procedures/mbr.html suggests 502 bytes. [20:17] konza: why would it show up with nmap? [20:18] ubuntu: no. It's just about backing up files and resotring them. no live image or something. And to add to grikdog's comments. sbackup has never ever failed on me [20:18] konza: which port would you expect to show up? [20:18] webbb82: yes midnight commander [20:18] Justicepsion-> i said i cant remember the MBR size, the site maybe correct, of 502 bytes.. seek some ore [20:19] smerz: thanks [20:20] Myrtti, if any system is blocking ICMP packet by configuring the firewall, then we will have to use nmap (PING SWEEPING) to see weather the system is up or not RITE? [20:20] konza-> also think of it this way, what server services the host will tell you that it is up? if no server services is listening to your query then do not expect a response [20:21] what was the name of the applet to view network info at the panel in gnome, i cant find it in add applet... dialog [20:21] ubuntu: which network info? speeds?

[20:25] n8tuser: would it be reasonable to use dd to just overwrite the entire drive with zeros? [20:25] winlin, in that case that is why i prefer using wicd over network manager [20:25] Because I don't have anything I need on there.

[21:15] hi, I have a laptop with an SiS SI7012 which doesn't seem to capture any audio under jaunty - anyone got any useful suggestions? [21:15] I still have no luck with trying to get my menus back [21:15] how do I pass arguments to the shell via /etc/passwd? [21:15] jonaskoelker: dude, ive been struggeling with this for quite some time.. if it works i'm gunna dance around my backyard all night [21:16] Aijse: try grep -ir deny /etc/apache* [21:16] judas, naked? [21:16] heh [21:16] Aijse: might give hint, I'm not sure [21:16] judas: best of luck then :) [21:16] jonaskoelker, ok lets give it a shot ... thnx [21:16] jonaskoelker: Don't know, I just know one of the dvorak layouts has comma and period around where w is on a qwerty layout [21:16] hi people [21:16] hi! =) [21:16] geirha: yeah, but w is comma, not period as $USER reported [21:17] mrwes: hehe nah don't want all the girls come crawling all over me [21:17] geirha: and g -> e doesn't make any sense in either direction either [21:17] i have a trouble [21:17] Hi guys. I'd like to use DKMS to compile a couple modules from tarball source. Are there instructions for this? [21:17] hey how do i switch between virtual desktops? [21:17] i have content on desktop 2 i cant get to [21:17] I switched my keyboard layout to a Greek layout in Ubuntu, which all worked great, but now my keyboard layout is stuck on the Greek layout in gdm... so essentially I cannot login. I've tried to run dkpg-reconfigure console-setup from the recovery mode, but the keyboard layout is Greek there to (which does not use ascii mappings), so I cannot run anything. How do I change it back so I can login again? [21:17] PMantis: my inner cynic wants to say "not for Ubuntu since Ubuntu 'Just Works'" [21:17] paragonc: Ctrl-Alt-Arrow (left, right) [21:17] paragonc, ctrl+alt+(left/right) [21:17] anyone have an idea if the key server is down? [21:17] when running apt-get update it fails to fetch some of the packages because of hash mismatch [21:18] jonaskoelker: except when it doesn't (most of the time) [21:18] what do I do in this case? [21:18] jonaskoelker: Heh, sure... for modules not included in the repository? [21:18] thanks [21:18] PMantis: honestly, I don't know [21:18] PMantis: google not helping? [21:19] can anyone help me troubleshoot scim-anthy support [21:19] gordonjcp: *sigh*... yes... [21:19] jonaskoelker: Not so far... points me to the Dell manpage on it, which has no mention of Ubuntu... [21:19] jonaskoelker: Nothing happens, at first i just got i big white box, i clicked that and typed xterm and i got a new functioning terminal, now i can see a white terminal, but i can't write in it... [21:19] I am using ltsp and not able to get ti to work [21:19] Ridpojken: try typing 'xterm' and hit enter. Nothing happens? [21:19] jonaskoelker, it might give me a hint indeed, the grep -ir deny /etc/apache* command gives me all kind of allow deny info, but not about the site I want to publish, wich is in the sites available directory. how do I fix this? [21:19] Ridpojken: it might be that your colors are set wrong so you just can't see your writing [21:19] okay, well it appears no-one knows (or cares) about SiS onboard sound [21:20] jonaskoelker: That's what i did... [21:20] Ridpojken: ah, ok [21:20] jonaskoelker: It worked before, not now... [21:20] Witepa: You could try chmodding into your install from the LiveCD... [21:21] Aijse: go through all of them and see if any look relevant? Or have you already done this? [21:21] hey guys im trying to setup dual screen on my ubuntu system but im having some trouble editing the xorg file [21:21] root@abhishek-control:/etc/X11# kate xorg.conf [21:21] kate: cannot connect to X server [21:21] root@abhishek-control:/etc/X11# [21:21] can someone help? [21:21] Aijse: maybe grep for localhost or 127.0.0.1? [21:21] abhishek__: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [21:21] jonaskoelker, I expect a relevant one to be there but it isnt [21:21] grep localhost [21:21] Aijse: hmm... [21:22] doh! [21:22] the_madman: How would I use chmod to change the keyboard layout of the boot partition from the LiveCD? [21:22] Aijse: ta-da! ;-) [21:22] abhishek__: maybe run "kdesu kate xorg.conf" as your regular user? [21:22] Witepa: I don't think you'd use chmod for that... [21:23] Witepa: maybe you mean chroot? [21:23] jonaskoelker: command not found [21:23] Eep, sorry, I meant chroot. [21:23] anybody familiar with SCIM ? [21:23] jonaskoelker: And i can see at the bottom that somewhere there should be a terminal in my workspace, but i can't close it or see it... [21:23] jonaskoelker: im on gnome system [21:23] jonaskoelker: Or change space... [21:23] abhishek__: gksudo kate xorg.conf, then? [21:23] Witepa: Sorry, meant chroot. [21:23] abhishek__: try gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [21:23] Ridpojken: try restarting X [21:23] I have a laptop with an SiS SI7012 which doesn't seem to capture any audio under jaunty - anyone got any useful suggestions? [21:24] Witepa: Mount your / to something like /media/sda1 or some-such. [21:24] Witepa: then use `sudo chroot /media/sda1`. [21:24] the_madman: Oh, I was kind of confused for a minute... this way I could just use dkpg-reconfigure right? [21:24] do I need to be voiced or something in here? Can anyone see my posts? [21:24] yeah [21:24] jonaskoelker: And how do i do that? [21:24] gordonjcp: I can see you [21:24] in emerald theme manager i get the message "Couldn't Write Theme" when trying to save a modified theme. is this the right place to ask for help? [21:24] ctmjr: same deal mate now it says Gtk-Warning ** : cannot open display [21:24] Ridpojken: ctrl-alt-backspace [21:24] Ridpojken: or System->logout [21:25] Witepa: Hopefully, that'll let you run commands on your root with the standard keyboard layout. [21:25] jonaskoelker: oh okay [21:25] Ridpojken: or rather System -> "Log Out Ridpojken" [21:25] gordonjcp can you hear sounds being played? [21:25] SE: yes [21:25] sumo_su, join #compiz [21:25] Ridpojken: btw, is 'Ridpojken' dutch in any way? [21:25] abhishek__: how about nano /sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf [21:25] Nederlander [21:25] heh [21:25] SE: plays sounds, does not capture [21:26] ewp: i'll try my luck there. tx [21:26] (just curious about how well I can identify languages) [21:26] ctmjr: it just opened up a "new file" not the existing [21:26] gordonjcp and I assumed you checked if it muted and the sort and plugs [21:26] the_madman: alright, I'm giving it a try... although there may be some issues with permissions (yes, I am in root) [21:26] abhishek__: when you run "sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf"? [21:26] gordonjcp aka, did it ever work? [21:26] SE: well I can hear the input through the mixer - ie monitoring through the "play" mixer settings [21:26] jonaskoelker: ok it worked now but i never edited in nano before [21:27] when a website does a scheduled maintince what kinds of things are they usually doing? [21:27] SE: I have no idea if it ever worked, but sound is at least getting down the line in and out the speakers [21:27] jonaskoelker: No, it's Swedish =). If i should translate it to english it would be Riding Boy. My friend gave me that name since I'm in to horseridning =) [21:27] Witepa: I'm more worried that it'll go into the greek keyboard layout when you chroot again. [21:27] hello [21:27] jonaskoelker: i looked in the keyboard preferences in gnome. I can't see Dvorak anywhere. Tried on both the client and the server. am I looking the wrong place? [21:27] I have problem for ubuntu 9.10 afa 6 [21:27] QWERTY [21:27] gordonjcp what program are you using to capture? [21:28] SE: various programs - multimon, soundmodem and I tried audacity but that has its own weirdness [21:28] hey guys i just edited something in nano how to i save it? [21:28] the_madman: Do I use the dkpg-reconfigure on the new root or use the one from the Live CD? I got a ton of postinst Permission denied's and I'm afraid that nothing wrote... after I chroot'd though it did not go into the greek keyboard. [21:28] abhishek__: [21:29] abhishek__, ctrl-x [21:29] abhishek__, then press y and enter [21:29] thanks guys [21:29] jonaskoelker: =) [21:29] ok edited the xorg [21:29] lets see if this will work [21:29] Witepa: Use dpkg-reconfigure in the chrooted environment. [21:29] I have written a linked list library file, and also a listtest file i am trying to run the test file, which includes a header to the library file, do i invoke gcc on the test file to produce an executable? [21:29] gordonjcp try to see if the gnome recorder works [21:29] http://pastie.org/623854 [21:29] thats what i edited it to [21:29] Witepa: Otherwise, you'll just run dpkg-reconfigure on the LiveCD all over again. [21:30] judas: try running 'setxkbmap us' on both sides [21:30] judas: btw, what's your preferred keyboard layout? [21:30] the_madman: Yeah, that's what I did. What do you think the permission denied's are about though? [21:30] Ridpojken: ah... Rid = ride, right? Then pojken = boy? [21:30] Witepa: Not sure. Can you paste them somewhere? [21:30] #ubuntu-offtopic [21:30] gah [21:31] /join #ubuntu-offtopic? [21:31] jonaskoelker: my prefered keyb layout is DA... but US is ok also [21:31] jonaskoelker: That's right ;) You want to go and learn some Swedish? [21:31] Witepa: Probably because it might be trying to get stuff from /dev. [21:31] SE: seems to capture === cfurlin is now known as baron_perilous [21:31] Ridpojken: not right now, I should really work on my quantum informatics homework :) [21:31] Witepa: Which would make sense, 'cause /dev doesn't contain anything in the chrooted environment - it's all in /dev on the LiveCD. [21:31] judas: hey, you're danish? Me too :) [21:31] the_madman: yeah, alright... give me a second though, the computer at hand isn't connected. Yeah, it is all trying to create /dev/null being denied [21:31] gordonjcp so it works, but not for other programs? [21:32] jonaskoelker: yeey :)) [21:32] SE: yes [21:32] judas: halløjsa der :) [21:32] SE: whatever gnome recorder uses works, but nothing else [21:32] the_madman: ah, alright. That would explain it... would it affect anything? [21:32] jonaskoelker: hope your not one of my neighbors so u will see my dancing in the back yard once i made this work.. lol [21:32] Witepa: Yeah, that's not a problem then. If you're still concerned, `exit` from the chrooted environment then run, `mount --bind /dev /media/sda1/dev` and chroot back in. [21:32] jonaskoelker: halløjsa :) [21:32] judas: does the 'setxkbmap us' change anything? [21:32] jonaskoelker: Ahh, du är dansk? Då så, då förstår du lite utav min fina svenska, du och judas förstås ;) (That was a nice greeting in swedish.) [21:32] alright [21:32] judas: probably not, unless you live in Århus [21:33] gordonjcp I would check the other programs, and see if they are using the right /dev/ device [21:33] Do somebody knows the program to find or aiming cellural phones ? [21:33] Ridpojken: javist :) [21:33] SE: yes, funny you should say [21:33] SE: I tried that, it was one of the first things I checked [21:33] judas: and particularly in $ZIP_CODE [21:33] LenyDee you can sms from gaim, and the sort [21:34] jonaskoelker: now it changed the keyb layout to us.. but i can't do that on the server since it processes the keys wrong [21:34] judas: try all keys until you learn which are which :) [21:34] Hmmm [21:34] judas: yeah it's boring, but it works [21:34] jonaskoelker: hahaha [21:34] How do i get sound on my brand new macbook pro? [21:34] gordonjcp hmm, no preferences or not sure what to se it to? [21:34] http://www.eurobarre.com/?p=813897169837 [21:35] http://www.eurobarre.com/?p=813897169837 [21:35] Hi. How do I extract one single page from a big pdf file? [21:35] jonaskoelker: aight i will try that... gunna take a while tho.. lol [21:35] Hi [21:35] basso: go to mac store and walk up to the genius bar [21:35] dergringo: You can print the page you want to a separate PDF, if that's what you're looking for. [21:35] basso what operating system? [21:35] I want to know how to protect myself from someone trying to enter my wifi network [21:35] http://www.eurobarre.com/?p=813897169837 [21:35] SE: I have no idea what gnome-recorder is using [21:36] gabriel_: make it use enterprise wpa2 encryption, with all the signatures and certificates and all the hoops to jump through [21:36] the_madman: Okay, I binded /dev to the media and everything, and it got rid of the error messages. Now I got a lot of WARNING: Undefined kernel key code for ###, and an invoke-rc.d: initscript console-setup, action "start" failed. [21:36] is the web interface to the ubuntu keyserver down for anyone else? [21:36] how can that be done? im new at this [21:36] the_madman, hehe yes of course. that was too easy ;) Thanks!

[21:37] er [21:37] Witepa: That looks like it's trying to start up the boot sequence (init) which it can't do since init/init processes are already running. [21:37] gabriel_: not sure, it depends on your router and the software it runs. Try asking in your router's support channel about the router-side issues [21:37] kab00m [21:37] Witepa: But you shouldn't worry too much about that, I think. [21:37] gabriel_: if you run network-manager, the ubuntu side of things should handle everything so that it "Just Works" [21:37] I have a motorola sbg900 [21:37] what is a good animation program for ubuntu, that is simple to use? I tried blender but doesnt work right on my pc. Thanks [21:37] kab00m [21:38] gabriel_, are you forwarding any ports from your router? [21:38] the_madman: Alright, I'll give it a reboot and see what happens. Thank you so much! [21:38] gabriel_: but I don't trust network-manager to do anything right... [21:38] Witepa: :) [21:38] anyone, at the end of my fisrt install ubuntu said to remove the disk and press enter, it woudl not let me, i had to hit reset, and now there is no ubuntu , just windows [21:38] dergringo: Cool, glad to know I helped :) [21:38] !Shields Up [21:38] Sorry, I don't know anything about Shields Up [21:38] is the web interface to the ubuntu keyserver down for anyone else? [21:38] er [21:38] My ubuntu install is default [21:38] gordonjcp I am not sure what it would be assigned to, but you can do an lsof while sound-recorder is running and see if you can determine it [21:38] SE: I think that gnome-recorder is using pulseaudio :-/ [21:38] anyone know how i can make scite find replace the "LF" character with something else? [21:38] gabriel_: then you run network-manager [21:39] is this fixable? [21:39] I have written a linked list library file, and also a listtest file i am trying to run the test file, which includes a header to the library file, do i invoke gcc on the test file to produce an executable? [21:39] JoeSomebody: you can probably install ubuntu again. I think you either chose the wrong options for installing grub, or windows is really really evil [21:39] nevermind [21:39] poet: got a link? [21:39] hi, what is the minimum amount of GB's to install ubuntu? [21:40] JoeSomebody: I'm not sure if that's the smartest/easiest way to go about things, but it might work [21:40] mgv1 depends on what you want to do with it [21:40] the_madman: It's still greek at gdm... I'll try a couple more dpkg-reconfigures [21:40] jonaskoelker: its here http://keyserver.ubuntu.com:11371/ but it appears to be up, just a bit flaky atm [21:40] Witepa: it's probably a 'console-' you want to hit [21:40] : just simple altarnate cd installation === muellisoft is now known as Muelli [21:40] Witepa: console-setup, maybe? [21:40] Is WPA enough protection from intruders? what else should I do? [21:40] poet: it's up for me [21:40] Witepa: You'll probably have to reconfigure gdm and console-setup. [21:40] i didnt know, so somone helped me, and beats me abut grub, i partitioned as they recommeded [21:40] gabriel_: I'd recommend wpa2 [21:40] gabriel_: wpa2 is better than wpa1 [21:41] jonaskoelker: ok, thanks [21:41] jonaskoelker: I did console-setup. [21:41] gabriel_: using MAC filtering might also be a good idea [21:41] gabriel_: wpa1 is (sorta'?) broken, I think [21:41] gabriel_: Generally speaking, it should be enough for casual filters. [21:41] gabriel_: filters? Users* [21:41] how can I do that? [21:41] gabriel_: that's again something specific to your router software [21:41] : ive tried with 8 gb but it didn't allowed it - that because ive some acronics backups on windows which i need to burn and discard but the files wan't very easy to restore because of errors [21:41] gabriel_: That requires configuration of your router or firewall. [21:42] i made a \ a swap and a home and instaled, did i miss a step? [21:42] mgv1 for a desktop install, you could probably fit in a couple of gigs with some room to spare, if you want a console server, I have done it in a gig, but it really depends on what you want to do with it [21:42] ok, I should call my ISP then [21:42] gabriel_: Generally speaking, not usually necessary but you can go ahead and use it if you want. === baron_perilous is now known as cfurlin [21:42] gabriel_: call your ISP for what? === cfurlin is now known as baron_perilous [21:42] I been in denmark, nice coutry [21:42] gabriel_: you're renting a router from them ... ? [21:42] : ok thank you [21:43] for the configuration of my router [21:43] the_madman: Will I have to reconfigure xorg.conf or anything? [21:43] LenyDee: indeed it is :) :) :) [21:43] I dont know how to do that [21:43] yeah, the router is rented [21:43] Witepa: Don't think so, since all that's usually stored in there is driver information... [21:43] i've been living there nadworking [21:43] It is a motorola sbg900 [21:43] can anyone tell me where are the instructions for begginer of how to use aircrack? i dont even know how to open it [21:43] Witepa: what does /etc/default/console-setup say about keyboard? xorg.conf? [21:44] write in gogole how to use aircrack-ng === baron_perilous is now known as cfurlin [21:44] Witepa: You might want to open xorg.conf in less anyway, just to see. [21:44] there will be written how to use this program [21:44] what do I do when getting: Failed to fetch Hash Sum mismatch ? [21:45] is that the main ubuntu chat? [21:45] Does anyone know how to kill gnome-panel in Ubuntu 9.04? killall gnome-panel only restarts gnome-panel? [21:45] jonaskoelker, the_madman: /etc/default/console-setup and xorg.conf both refer to US keyboard layouts... in fact I actually can't find anywhere that references a greek keyboard. [21:46] Witepa: cd /etc; grep -ir '[^a-zA-Z]gr(eek|[^a-zA-Z])' * [21:46] Witepa: try reconfigure Hal as well. Hal's configurations tend to have keyboard layout information as well. [21:46] the_madman, jonaskoelker: I'll try dpkg-reconfigure gdm and Hal then. [21:46] The package is just called, 'hal', so that's easy enough. [21:46] Witepa: change my command to egrep [21:47] Witepa: and the regexp to '(^|[^a-zA-Z])gr(eek|[^a-zA-Z]|$)' [21:47] In fact, I'm quite certain it'll be hal's doing... [21:47] how do I remove the known packages and hashes on my system? [21:47] the_madman: you may be right---Hal the source of all that is wrong in the world ;-) [21:48] Coolprice == spam bot ! [21:48] jonaskoelker: I wouldn't go that far... :P [21:48] the_madman: I would :P [21:48] jonaskoelker: If it means I get pretty icons of my devices whenever I plug them in, I'm not going to complain about Hal :P [21:48] jonaskoelker: finally figured out the keys to run it on the server... however it returned this error: XKB extension not present on :1.0 [21:48] Hey CoolPrice, don't spam me again [21:49] hello [21:49] judas: ugh [21:49] can anyone help me with setting up a mail server?

[21:51] Ok this is my question: i'm trying to setup a email server for 2 days without succes [21:51] Witepa: Ah, that could be a problem. It's trying to stop hal running while re-configuring it, but obviously can't because [21:51] How do I kill gnome-panel? [21:51] to i'm willing to pay somone to set it up for me :) [21:52] anyone interested? [21:52] tim__b, got a minute? [21:52] Witepa: because Hal is running in an init instance outside the chrooted environment's init. [21:52] Myrtti your interested? [21:52] sure, Myrtti, but i closed the query window already [21:52] tim__b: oh ok [21:52] harisund: pkill gnome-panel..? [21:53] tim__b: nvm then, jonaskoelker is helping out already [21:53] Muelli, that, killall gnome-panel, kill -9 everything only "restarts" the gnome-panel, not actually kill [21:53] the_madman: Yeah, I figured it was something like that... do you know how I could reconfigure it without using dpkg? [21:53] ok :) could have reconstructed that message, wasnt that hard, but if jonaskoelker has still the 1:1 info :) [21:53] Teckniel: hm. What are your requirements? [21:53] i have 2 domains [21:54] harisund: hm. Can't you "delete" a panel you don't like? i.e. right click it and delete. [21:54] that need to be able to send and recieve emails with iRedMail [21:55] Muelli, So there's no way to "stop" the program other than delete the panels? I want to keep the panels, just not run the gnome-panel all the time. There are times I need to kill the panel as a whole. Deleting it implies I will have to add it all over again when I need it back [21:55] harisund: it's probably because the gnome session has "gnome-panel" as a program that should be restarted [21:55] hm. you're right harisund. I don't really know :-| There might be no other solution. [21:55] jonaskoelker, on earlier Ubuntus there used to be a gnome-session-remove command [21:56] Muelli, yeah I don't know whether Gnome is becoming more like Apple or Ubuntu is [21:56] hi [21:56] i need help [21:56] harisund: try gnome-session-properties [21:56] All right let me give that a shot thanks [21:56] harisund: both---in a very evil pact ;-) [21:57] Prefer KDE, myself, but oh well. [21:57] harisund: there's always gentoo if Ubuntu is becoming too... erm... "fruity" ;-) [21:58] the_madman, jonaskoelker: I did cause this problem by adding a keyboard layout in Ubuntu's graphical keyboard layout changer... do you know what files that affects? [21:58] jonaskoelker, haha I prefer Ubuntu man, I just don't like it if I am prevented from customizing that's all [21:58] harisund: :) [21:58] Witepa: Don't know, but I know another way to fix it if it's hal. === TAZ is now known as Puga [21:59] the_madman: Alright, shoot. [21:59] Why is dual screen weird with ubuntu? When I launch a linux game thats full screen, only half of it shows up on my 2nd monitor. How can I get it to show up 100% on my main monitor? [21:59] Witepa: Erm, oops. Sorry. I keep forgetting Ubuntu doesn't do things like Gentoo. [22:00] Witepa: might want to check /etc/hal/fdi/policy and /etc/hal/fdi/preprobe for a, "keyboard" entry. [22:00] the_madman: Oh, it's alright... I keep forgetting Linux doesn't do things like FreeBSD haha. [22:00] Roasted: because Ubuntu knows what is right for you, even when you disagree, and it has decided that you want your picture spread over both screens [22:00] jonaskoelker: Haha! [22:00] Roasted: try sacrificing your strongest ox on a great bonfire and see if it appeases the god in the box [22:00] Roasted: sorry :) [22:01] Roasted: (I'm making fun of Ubuntu, not you, just to be 110% clear) [22:01] Roasted, you need to tweak your xorg.conf file a bit in Screen section -- Option "metamodes" "CRT-0: nvidia-auto-select +0+0, CRT-1: 1280x1024 +1280+0; CRT-0: nvidia-auto-select +0+0, CRT-1: NULL" - gives when a game asks for 1280x1024 one monitor will shutoff [22:01] jonas, I don't mean to be a complete ass, but despite you trying to be funny, did you actually, for whatever reason, think you were? Why are you here? [22:02] zykotick9 - is this something I can do in the nvidia control panel? [22:02] Roasted, I don't think so??? it's the "NULL" part that is important [22:04] i need PHP/apache/mysql, are the newest (or nearly newest) releases of all those in the default repo's of ubuntu? [22:04] 1lamp | Hans_Henrik [22:04] !lamp | Hans_Henrik [22:04] Hans_Henrik: 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+) [22:04] jonaskoelker: I thought it was funny :) [22:04] zykotick9 - This is that line in xorg. Option "metamodes" "CRT: 1440x900 +0+0, DFP: nvidia-auto-select +1440+0" Where do I add NULL at again?? [22:04] but i dont want to waste an other cd :p [22:04] Hans_Henrik: I like to think so... I've got "Apache/2.2.11 (Ubuntu) PHP/5.2.6-3ubuntu4." [22:05] Roasted: to ask questions, to answer questions, and in part to crack jokes [22:05] jonas - shut up, thanks [22:05] whoa Roasted that's nice language [22:05] Roasted: no thanks. Sorry I offended you [22:05] haris - get over it, thanks [22:05] Roasted, you are welcome [22:05] <3 [22:06] Roasted: I really mean it---I'm sorry that I offended you. But I won't shut up. I'll quit cracking jokes based on what you say, though. Will that make you happy (enough)? [22:06] I got some really stupid error. I can't seem to access my Lamp locally without a internet connection with firefox. It says "Firefox is currently in offline mode and can't browse the Web". Any clues? [22:06] anyone knows Port Forwarding on ubuntu? [22:06] No. [22:06] when i use my headset the computers speakers dont mute, if I try to mute it using the mixer, also the headsets mute.. this is very anoying, anyone had this problem before? [22:06] Roasted, give me one moment [22:06] using an ubuntu setup as a router..? [22:06] zykotick9 - thanks bro [22:06] Roasted: ok [22:07] can anyone tell me where are the instructions for begginer of how to use aircrack? i dont even know how to open it [22:07] the_madman: there is no keyboard entry in either of those directories or in the files within :(. Thanks for your help though... I have to go eat some dinner, I'll be back in ~30 minutes. [22:07] try the aircrack-ng website [22:08] mgv1: at the manual (website) [22:08] mgv1, www.aircrack-ng.org [22:08] Witepa: Then no, don't know what could be it... sorry. [22:08] Roasted, http://paste.ubuntu.com/274892/ should get you started - you might need to swap the CRT/DFP Null value depending on which monitor you want off. [22:08] the_madman: Thanks anyway... this problem is far too complicated for what it should be. [22:09] mgv1, the aircrack suite is a set of tools used in a command-line [22:09] :which manual? [22:09] Witepa: Yeah, looks like Ubuntu still needs better international support... [22:10] zykotick9 - the monitor with the resolution 1440x900 (as seen in the pastebin you gave me) is the one I want to shut off. If thats he case, do I paste this? Or do I need to add this to my other monitor instead? [22:10] oh, i thought LAMP was like a distro in itself! xD (cus of "Linux" part of it) but its just like sudo tasksel install lamp-server ? [22:10] I have a Windows 7 set up in Raid 0, I want to install Ubuntu but don't care if it's in Raid, can I install it to a 3rd drive without loss of any Windows files and still be able to dual boot both? [22:11] mgv1, well after making sure your wifi card is setup properly check this page out http://www.aircrack-ng.org/doku.php?id=simple_wep_crack [22:11] Hans_Henrik: No it's a self handled front end webserver [22:11] mgv1: why do you need to learn how to use aircrack? [22:11] ctmjr, to use his neighbors internet [22:11] my guess [22:11] rocknblogger, yes that should be possible [22:11] : thank you [22:12] Roasted make a backup of you current xorg.conf then i'd try test to see, I'm not sure, sorry. [22:12] : i want to have accsess to the internet sometimes [22:12] zykotick9 - good call. Doing that now and trying it. Thanks for your help bro! [22:12] rocknblogger, you can remove your raided drives and plug in that 3rd one and install ubuntu as if theres only drive in the system, then plug windows drives back in and use bios to choose which hdd to boot [22:12] mneptok: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KfPnDKrTAkQ [22:12] ewp: kinda what i figured too [22:13] ussr good suggestion [22:13] Hans_Henrik: yes just use tasksel or synaptic [22:13] rocknblogger, yea its a little awkward solution but it works, otherwise to boot windows you'd have to install grub to the windows hdd and i dont know how your raid is going to like it [22:14] ussr yeah that's what I'm afraid of [22:14] ussr I think that your suggestion though I bit awkward is the safest route to go [22:15] ussr thanks I'm surprised I didn't think of that, some things are so simple :) [22:15] !floodbot [22:15] Sorry, I don't know anything about floodbot [22:16] du is running and using half of my processor, i didn't run it, i killed it but it starts again and again [22:17] QUESTION: is there a command line that zaps the x server the same way ctrl-alt-backspace does? [22:17] btw funny thing, in Ubuntu i got no problem what-so-ever getting ~500 KB/ps download speed, but in WinXP on the same machine, i need to use a so-called "download accelerator"/up to 3-4 simultaneous connections to get the same speed.. explanation? [22:17] jonaskoelker: you could always do sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart, assuming you're using gdm [22:17] jonaskoelker: what trism said [22:18] I'd prefer want something I can run as non-root [22:18] now i know, i installed recently gloobus [22:18] (could be coincidence with server just allways being more busy when im on xp tho.. xD) === logos is now known as Ravi [22:18] jonaskoelker: killall X [22:18] ok, add/remove is there, but where's the software store? [22:18] what I want, specifically, is to zap the x server when I hit ctrl-alt-backspace, but only on opposing sides of the keyboard. To do that, I want to employ xbindkeys [22:18] jonaskoelker: killall X [22:18] bruenig: X: no process killed [22:18] jonaskoelker: well ctrl-alt-backspace is disabled in jaunty by default [22:19] jonaskoelker: maybe it is called xserver or xorg [22:19] bruenig: no, the proble is that it's run as root [22:19] jonaskoelker: it shouldn't be [22:19] bruenig: how do I make it not be [22:19] I don't run my xserver as root [22:19] but I don't know what ubuntu does [22:19] bruenig: gdm will start it as root [22:19] weak [22:20] someone should fix that [22:20] if you run startx instead it'll start as your user [22:20] trism, gdm is started as root, but xserver runs as whatever user that gdm logged in [22:20] usser: that's not true, my X is root right now [22:20] trism, otherwise you wouldnt be able to do ctrl+alt+backspace at all if it was running as root [22:20] trism, hm [22:20] usser: my X is root also [22:20] usser: why wouldn't you be able to do that? [22:21] * usser hm i guess im wrong then [22:21] usser: the X server sees the keys, shuts down... how would it know which user pressed the keys? [22:21] jonaskoelker: u don't like alt + print scr + k? [22:21] judas: what does that do again? [22:21] jonaskoelker, nvm my bad. you're right [22:21] judas: kill all on $TTY? [22:22] jonaskoelker: same as ctrl alt backspace did [22:22] bruenig: Unless you are not using DRM, or are on the bleeding edge, you are running X as root: http://airlied.livejournal.com/59521.html [22:22] jonaskoelker: then you will need to use a sudo NOPASSWD rule in suoders to do it [22:22] how many USB extenders can you use before you start to lose a signal to the device? [22:22] bleeding edge ofc [22:22] but thats just stupid though, running X as root. whats the point in gdm not allowing root logins then? [22:23] judas: that might just work :) [22:23] bruenig: I'm going with judas' solution (sysrq k) [22:23] judas: thanks :) [22:24] Whats the hotkey for changing Workspaces? [22:24] RDove I think USB spec has 100FT max, but I am not sure if that is just a spec, or actual protocol limitation [22:24] jonaskoelker: nps bro... u can change it back to ctrl alt backspace tho if u want [22:24] can anyone assist with a tricky networking setup? [22:24] Beg: ctrl-alt- [22:24] ah thanks :) [22:24] Beg: or try gnome-keybinding-properties [22:24] it worked thanks [22:25] SE: oh ok thanks [22:25] Beg: you're welcome :) [22:27] I have two computers hooked up to the same router, the router is connected to the internet, I want computer A to access the internet through the router but Computer B to use computer A as its GW to the internet, possible? [22:28] Hey guys, let me know what you think about my desktop: http://www.screenlets.org/index.php/Image:UbuntuJauntyGrey.jpg [22:28] indicava: you could install squid on computer A then set it as the web proxy for B [22:30] I need help!

[22:30] idyle: yeah, that's not even the correct upgrade procedure... [22:31] ActionParsnip: yeah I know I did! do-release-upgrade -d and all that wasn't working -- it said I was fully up to date, but I was only on jaunty!! [22:31] when i leave my ubuntu idle overnight, i wake up and my mouse pointer is no longer there. i'm on 9.04, i can see it highlighting stuff yet no pointer. i have to restart to get it back [22:31] indicava: then you'll need to setup computer A as a router and have another NIC in computer A, this will make your hardware router obsolete [22:31] dunno what it could be [22:31] idyle usually best to upgrade through update-manager -d ;-) [22:31] If I install python-moinmoin, where is the MoinMoin source directory located? [22:31] Yeah I know it's not the right procedure but what should I do?! [22:31] hi everyone. im having a trouble with the screen saver. I cant use the gui 'cause when i open it it just freezes, and if the screensaver goes up, i got a blank screen... just get back with crtl+alt+backspace, but closes all the softwares im using,... kinda annoying. how do i get rid of the screensaver? by any means! === mikebeecham is now known as mb1 [22:32] idyle: your fiorst question says you got to karmic [22:32] StevenMyers: that didn't work either!

[22:50] it never made one [22:50] mano, a front end for sudo. [22:51] nivekc1: ok, just type "VirtualBox" on the command line.. and yes, its case sensitive [22:51] mano: it is designed to worj with graphical applications [22:51] that did it WGGMPk thanks.. btw durt i did just find it in /usr/bin thank you for the help [22:52] ok thanks all for your replies! [22:52] Hi, I have used add user how to I remove user in terminal, I changed my mind. Please and thank you. [22:52] Hello, I'm having some problems getting my /etc/network/interfaces file set up correctly. I want eth0 to pull it's info from the local dhcp server, but I want the eth1 interface to be assigned a static ip address of 192.168.100.1. Anyone got some time to help? [22:52] candive: i think its 'rmuser'? anyone else might wanna jump in though [22:52] Is there a #ubuntu pastebin I could post my config to? [22:53] booleancat: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com [22:53] can someone tell me how to automatically add my signature to an email created with evolution [22:53] candive: sorry.. its acctually "deluser" [22:53] does windoze 7 mess up my new ubuntu from tri-booting? i only have xp and win7 to choose from ... help [22:53] booleancat, type 'man interfaces', it'll tell you everything. [22:53] WIGGMPK, thank you [22:54] durt: I'll do that. my config is at http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/274915/ [22:54] JoeSomebody: what exactly are you asking? [22:54] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot tells me how to "grub it", BUT I cant find out which drive is hd0 [22:54] candie_, sudo userdel AND then you want to rm -rf the /home/username [22:54] candive, sudo userdel AND then you want to rm -rf the /home/username [22:54] i am totally new here , no knowledge [22:54] like 10th time i did that today :p [22:55] ewp: does deluser work as well? [22:55] WIGGMPk, yea it should [22:55] sudo fdisk -l shows me sda, sdb [22:55] WIGGMPk, in that case may want to delete the user's group with delgroup [22:56] i need hd0 [22:56] dont i? [22:56] booleancat, take the # from line 10 and add 'auto eth1' on a line before the config for eth1. [22:56] candive: ewp: you can also use a paramater IE: "sudo deluser example --remove-home example" or "sudo deluser example --remove-all-files example" [22:57] WIGGMPk, i just default to userdel because i'm more familiar with useradd and usermod :-P [22:57] i need to make a LAN-IP static, how can i do that? (ie, override DHCP with custom settings) [22:57] at the end of the install, it toid me to take out the cd , this was not possible for some reason, i hit reset and took it out [22:57] durt, alright. Will a simple "ifdown eth1 && ifup eth1" work to make sure it's configured right now? [22:57] did that toast it? [22:57] Hans_Henrik, go to network manager [22:57] ewp: I got ya.. =) just when I seen your response I second guessed myself.. [22:57] Hans_Henrik, edit connectios and choose the device [22:58] because i just installed ubuntu and its not there :) [22:58] WIGGMPk, userdel -r should remove homedir too haha just manpaged it [22:58] Hans_Henrik, click edit on the connection you want [22:58] booleancat, do a 'sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart' , this will simulate what happens at boot. [22:58] ewp: there's always like a million ways to do the same thing lol [22:58] Alright, I may just DC, but hopefully it works [22:58] BlackFate: where do i find "edit connections"? [22:58] Hans_Henrik, go to ipv4 settings. and set method to manual and set ips [22:58] ewp, sudo deluser seems to have worked I will also try rm -rf /home/chris [22:58] Hans_Henrik, wait ill screenshot you [22:58] "Failed to bring up eth1" [22:58] Hey, Im wondering if anyone else have had issues with totem-plugin-viewer and firefox? I have issues streaming some online video which totem-plugin-viewer are supposed to take care of. but it never starts...but if I kill firefox, the sound is arriving and the totem-plugin-viewer is still alive but I got no video (no window I can swap too....) [22:59] anyone have any idea? [22:59] candive, make sure to use sudo in that cmd [22:59] WIGGMPk, beauty of linux lol [22:59] i like options :-D [22:59] booleancat, DC? [22:59] dis-connect [23:00] Hans_Henrik, http://www.lostid.net/Screenshot.png [23:00] ewp yes sudo always first thank you [23:00] booleancat, what does ifconfig say? [23:00] I set it up manually before with " sudo ifconfig eth1 192.168.100.1 netmask 255.255.255.0" [23:00] ifconfig reports the correct info after I issued the above command, but the /etc/init.d/networking restart command said it failed to bring up eth1 [23:01] booleancat, do a 'sudo ifdown eth1' then restart networking. [23:01] "ifdown: interface eth1 not configured" === TheS is now known as TheS[away] [23:01] Hans_Henrik, see? edit eth0 or what.. [23:01] BlackFate: strange, it doesn't look like that at me, but i found it, System->Perferences->Network Connections [23:02] Hans_Henrik, well.. dont know why.. [23:02] booleancat, and now ifconfig says... [23:02] Hans_Henrik, edit your connection , enter your pass if it asks you and go to ipv4settings and set method tou manual [23:02] Nothing changed. it says eth1 is still active on 192.168.100.1 (from the previous manual configuration) [23:02] hi [23:03] ewp, response to my command "ubuntuman@ubuntuman-laptop:~$" I believe it worked thanks again [23:03] BlackFate: btw do u use jaunty? [23:03] booleancat, try 'sudo ifconfig eth1 down' [23:03] Hans_Henrik, yes.. you are on hardy? [23:03] !pulseaudio [23:03] PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions [23:03] candive, yep [23:03] BlackFate: nope, januty too [23:03] cool [23:04] so has anyone gotten splashy to work with jaunty? [23:04] I think pulseaudio is causing a problem for me? Should I try to just turn it off? [23:04] Ok, now it works, even though "/etc/init.d/networking restart" says that it failed to bring up eth1 [23:04] How do I turn off pulseaudio? Just uninstall with apt-get? [23:04] in editing network connections, what is "Search Domains"? [23:04] I'm afraid of pulse so i just kill it hard and uninstall it [23:05] booleancat, parsing /etc/network/interfaces or another issue? [23:05] carl1408: I threatened it with a sledgehammer, and as a matter of fact it helped. However I'd recommend uninstalling it (sudo aptitude uninstall pulseaudio) and just reboot [23:05] carl1408, system > prefs > sound [23:05] durt, output at http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/274920/ [23:06] WIGGMPk, thank you too. bye all. [23:06] I need help [23:06] I cant seem to get into my hdd which was being used by windows [23:07] Though, after the "sudo ifconfig eth1 down", eth1 isn't listed. Then using "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart" brings it back up [23:07] booleancat: might get better information trying ifup -v eth1 and ifdown -v eth1 [23:07] mezy: what's the problem? [23:07] I don't really understand it [23:07] mezy: I suppose you've tried mounting it with the appropriate file system. [23:07] damn.. the screenshot was downloaded more by mac os X users than ubuntu users. is it a mac room or what? === maritim is now known as Maritim [23:07] trism: nope ;) [23:07] but, it looks like it's working after adding the "auto eth1" line [23:08] hello [23:08] i forgot everything that is ubuntu [23:08] mezy: do you know which address your harddrive has been allocated? [23:08] hi, i'm trying to compile a program i made on my Jaunty system on my Intrepid system [23:08] 2nd question: No matter what I try, I cannot get tftpd-hda to serve pxelinux.0 over PXE. Anyone have experience with this? [23:08] i get this in configure ./configure: line 9420: `IT_PROG_INTLTOOL(0.35.0)' [23:09] Maritim: Do you mean the /dev/sda thingies? [23:09] can i upgrade my autotools to the Jaunty version without getting problems? [23:09] mezy: yes. [23:09] Can you tell me how to check that?? [23:09] mezy: is it a scsi, sata or ide drive? [23:09] is it possible to manage eth0 in network-manager (dhcp enabled) and eth0:1 in /etc/network/interfaces as a static ip ? [23:09] Not sure which one it is [23:10] Ide is the new kind, right? [23:10] mezy: no, ide is old [23:10] OH [23:10] Wow === ubuntu is now known as CaRSi [23:10] mezy: sata is newer and more commonly used [23:10] booleancat, paste /etc/network/interfaces again, just to rule that out. [23:10] I guess it is sata [23:10] mezy: dmesg | grep /dev/sd [23:10] mezy: scsi has been around for a while too [23:11] durt, k. http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/274925/ [23:11] Uhm..What does that command do? [23:11] mezy: it shows the startup log and grabs anything with /dev/sd in it and prints it for your eyes to read [23:11] mezy: it looks for any system messages matching /dev/sd [23:12] OH [23:12] Nothing should up [23:12] * booleancat wishes he could grep for his keys... [23:12] I just need to get into the hdd [23:12] I have to move stuff out of it. [23:12] mezy: yeah, well, we need to figure out where your hdd is so that we can mount it [23:12] ok [23:12] mezy: that is what we are trying to do. Just do dmesg and tell me if you see anything related to sda, sdb or anything like that [23:13] mezy, what is your problem? [23:13] why not do a sudo fdisk -l to list the partitions? [23:13] Ok.. [23:13] trism: my bad. [23:13] :P [23:13] booleancat, eth1 looks good to me, eth0 needs 'iface eth0 inet dhcp' underneath auto eth0 to work. [23:13] Oh yeah [23:13] does anyone know if its possible to manage eth0 in network-manager (dhcp enabled) and eth0:1 in /etc/network/interfaces as a static ip ? [23:13] I remember that command, eermm. I recognize it at least [23:14] how can I choose which nics network-manager tries to manage automatically? [23:15] durt, alright. It looks good now [23:15] indicava: if the nic has an entry in interfaces NM will ignore it === TheS[away] is now known as TheS [23:15] So, if I type fdisk -l /dev/sd, will it show me that specific part? [23:15] mezy: don't ask, try it [23:15] booleancat, give it a try? working? [23:16] erUSUL: can I manage eth0 in NM and eth0:1 in interfaces file? [23:16] the tftp thing? [23:16] Nothing showed up [23:16] indicava: that should be a really unsual config dunno if that is supported [23:16] I'm stuck..for a while [23:16] or the /etc/init.d/networking thing? [23:16] I'm having trouble with skype, there's a hissing noise. I wonder if uplseaudio is the problem? [23:17] testing out my XChat. Can you read me, room? [23:17] booleancat, whoa, what tftp thing? [23:17] erUSUL: it is a messy setup, can I trouble you with it for a second, been trying for ages to get this to work [23:17] mezy: you can specify a device, such as /dev/sda or /dev/sdb, etc [23:17] yess i can read [23:17] ok [23:17] Thank you. [23:17] indicava: ok; [23:17] durt, I'm trying to get tftpd-hda to serve a pxelinux image, but I always get a "file not found" error [23:17] hello i need to make my ubuntu partition larger [23:18] migg137: use gparted from a livecd [23:18] It says that it cannot open /dev/sda [23:18] migg137: my suggestion would be UBCD, however theres probably alternatives that dont require a CD :p [23:18] durt, the dhcp configuration seems right, but I just can't get it to find the files [23:18] I guess I'm screwed? [23:18] erUSUL: I have two computers hooked up to the same router, the router is connected to the internet, I want to computer A to access the internet through the router but have computer B access it through A. [23:18] erSUL, thanks but how specifically [23:18] mezy: you need to sudo [23:18] is it safe to try and dist upgrade from dapper drake to jaunty jackalope? === hi is now known as Guest7600 [23:19] Hans_Henrik, ok but how exactly.. i tried with no live cd and i didnt figure it out [23:19] tiglionabbit2: no [23:19] mezy: sudo fdisk -l [23:19] !upgrade > tiglionabbit2 (tiglionabbit2, see the private message from ubottu) [23:19] booleancat, ah, well nothing to do with getting eth1 up with static right, try restarting networking so you know that works. [23:19] mezy: you can include a device if you want, but I can't imagine you have that many partitions that it'll be confusing [23:19] erUSUL: i already have a DHCP server setting comp. B with comp A's ip address as its def. GW [23:19] how can you play ".asx" file on firefox on Ubuntu 9.04? [23:19] migg137: if you have the room in your hard disk to expan the ubuntu parition you can do it with gparted (is a graphical app) from a livecd (the ubuntu desktop cd can be used) [23:19] How come everyone's sentences are cut off...is there no word wrap? [23:20] durt, it does [23:20] Ok [23:20] migg137: download & burn UBCD, start the Partision Manager, theres is a verry usefull GUI partision manager :p [23:20] booleancat, cool [23:20] indicava: why not configure everything with interfaces ? [23:20] trism: I found /dev/sda [23:20] (restart PC with UBCD*= [23:20] ) [23:20] indicava: i.e do not use NM [23:20] d4rkcrims0n: where? [23:20] erSUL, also i wnated to install hackintosh.. how would i set that up in grub [23:20] !tab | migg137 [23:20] migg137: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [23:21] is anyone able to play this link on their ubuntu? [23:21] http://stanford-online.stanford.edu/seminars/knuth/070606-knuth-300.asx [23:21] erUSUL: well the interface in c comp. A. is getting its IP from the router dynamically, but that can be changed if its a must. [23:21] Hey, if I remove the Ubuntu-desktop, it wont completely remove Gnome, will it? [23:21] migg137: the best option is to install wndows first and then ubuntu. if that is not possible you will have to restore grub after installing windows and then manually add windows to grub config [23:21] CastilleV: no, it won't. [23:21] kiit: yes, with kaffeine. [23:21] LjL, every sentence appears to truncate after so many words...it's completely random. [23:22] indicava: interfaces supports a dhcp configured interface [23:22] kiit: using xine as the engine. [23:22] LjL: ok let me try [23:22] KK, 'cause there's a lot I need to uninstall. Like the gnome-utils. [23:22] (Open office really) [23:22] hi, if I don't have wifi switch turned on when I boot linux and then I turn it on after login... then the wifi light doesn't come up and I have to restart... i'm sure there's a way around this.... when I do "sudo ifup wlan0" I get --> "Ignoring unknown interface wlan0=wlan0 " any ideas ? thanks [23:22] erUSUL: i already have windows and ubuntu dual boot... but wanted hackintosh [23:22] I just started gparted, and figured every thing out [23:22] erUSUL: true, but its a wifi connection and its so much more manageable through NM in the day to day [23:23] migg137, why not give BT3 a try? [23:23] CastilleV: what is that [23:23] indicava: ahhh that explains everything... but... how does comp b connects to comp a ? [23:23] Backtrack 3. Its meant for penetration testing. [23:23] soo now, how do i force mount something? [23:23] LjL: is totem-mozilla the same package? [23:23] kiit: no [23:23] erUSUL: thrpough the router, comp. A has only one interface [23:23] Does anyone here have experience setting up a PXE boot environment? I can't seem to get my tftp-hda configuration working [23:23] migg137: well i missunderstood dunno anything about hackintosh [23:24] LjL: which package is it then? [23:24] kiit: err, kaffeine. [23:24] rather, tftp-hpa [23:24] erUSUL, ok well im gona try the live cd to make the partition bigger and do the other stuff later... thanks [23:24] LjL: ok ok [23:24] erUSUL: i ahve a classroom full of pc's that I don't want to access the internet unless my laptop is their router [23:25] CastilleV: i have an intel wifi link 5100 [23:25] LjL: thanks :D [23:25] any sort of web gui front end for mdadm raids?

[23:26] Okay, I figured it out. It appears XChat didn't care for the font I had set. [23:26] CastilleV: i haven't the slightest idea. i can't imagine why not, though. [23:26] <[SD]> Im switching linuxes... and i have a slave drive in the system. I cannot remember what file system I used for it way back when i first formated it. Is there a simple way to figure out what filesystem it uses and what tools to get to get the drive mounted? [23:26] whats the state of webmin? [23:27] CastilleV, so will this backtrack thing work on my intel wifi 5100 [23:27] !webmin | hey_joe [23:27] erUSUL: any thoughts? [23:27] hey_joe: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. [23:27] d4rkcrims0n: i remember a plugin caused alot of havoc for me with Xchat.. wouldnt start till i removed it...
