[00:00] hey is there a way to add a menu to my right click in gnome just like xfce or openobx by any chance? [00:00] like a deb package? [00:00] perlsyntax: changing perl versions ISN'T a good idea. a great deal of core stuff depends on perl in ubuntu [00:01] ok [00:01] thanks [00:01] ctmjr: when i use playonlinux i know it should work fine but when it runs the screen or refresh rate flickers and then stops, i need help step by step on getting it to work i beg of you please [00:01] what directory are the kde3 and 4 menu setting in? [00:02] Alright, my previous problem of configuring the eth1 interface on boot has been solved, but i have another problem. I'm using tftp-hpa in order to set up some diskless nodes, but I can't access tftp from anything off localhost. Any ideas? [00:02] Xodiac13: you have it working just running slow? [00:02] Anyone running Americas Army on jaunty [00:02] ctmjr: not anymore i started to follow the steps and its messed up now [00:02] Is there an ubuntu out there that has an AV app right on it that I can use to scan a windows drive? [00:03] or can I boot to a live ubuntu cd, install avg for linux, and scan that way? [00:03] Xodiac13: did you install any drivers from ati's website? [00:03] craigbass1976: you can use the desktop cd install clamav and run it === ballzee is now known as Sinister [00:03] ctmjr: no i havent tried that yet and when i followed the instructions on the site that i gave you i uninstalled them in the hardware devices [00:03] erUSUL, clam av hasn't got a very good detection rate last I knew [00:04] Shortly after starting the install I get "Call Trace:" and then "Code: e6 01 00 90 etc" [00:04] craigbass1976: is the only one aviable on repos iirc [00:04] hi mates, ive got an old laptop (pentium with 780 mb ram and 40 gb hd, no cd reader) what du suggest me to install on it? (xubuntu? slackware? zenwalk? minibuntu? debian? dsl? dunno? :D) thanks for de advice [00:04] ideas? === ben is now known as Guest25284 [00:04] IpSe_DiXiT: whatever you want. that "old laptop" is more powerful than my main desktop computer. [00:04] IpSe_DiXiT: 780 mb ram is enough for ubuntu althought i guess that xubuntu may run better [00:04] IpSe-DiXiT: does it boot from USB ? [00:05] Xodiac13: ok so now you have no gui and the open source driver is not working? [00:05] anyone here knows how tu put more then on distro on a usb flash disk (pendrive)? [00:05] Shortly after starting the install I get "Call Trace:" and then "Code: e6 01 00 90 etc" [00:06] ctmjr: no i have a gui my catalyst control center isnt there and the source driver is install i have direct when it shows me yes but i was trying to get a better way of using my video card instead of the hardware device ones [00:06] erUSUL: so ur anyway sticking to *ubuntu, no slack? no deb? no other distros? [00:06] IpSe_DiXiT: this is #ubuntu what did you expect ? [00:07] erUSUL: experience? :D [00:07] IpSe_DiXiT: this is Ubuntu support. feel free to ask for general distribution advice in #ubuntu-offtopic [00:07] Shortly after starting the install I get "Call Trace:" and then "Code: e6 01 00 90 etc" [00:08] oops ... I messed up my sources.list is there anyway to fix it? :P [00:08] ctmjr: from my experience on getting the drivers from the site they never work [00:08] IpSe_DiXiT: you want a lot for your dime... [00:08] erUSUL: i run ubuntu on my desktop since a while and its great, but i tried to install it on another laptop and.................. [00:08] ctmjr: on the ati site [00:08] Xodiac13: if you uninstalled the fglrx driver from ati you also got rid of the catalyst control center which is only used for the fglrx driver not the open source one [00:08] losher: do i? doestn seem like that to me :D i just made one question though ehehhe [00:08] dekkong: system>Adminstration>Software Sources [00:08] IpSe_DiXiT: ubuntu runs fine on this old laptop, just need to pick a different window manager [00:09] IpSe_DiXiT: so are you going to use unetbootin since you have no cd reader? === Ravi is now known as RaviResck [00:09] IpSe_DiXiT: I'm using icewm without problems [00:09] anyone here knows how tu put more then on distro on a usb flash disk (pendrive)? [00:09] IpSe_DiXiT: you already run ubuntu; if you want to try another distro go ahead and ask in their respective channels [00:10] Xodiac13: what is the output of this/ egrep "Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers" /var/log/Xorg.0.log [00:10] is ubuntu 9.04 experimental ? [00:10] aloha! does anyone know how to connect to a WPA2-PSK network using the command line? google has been a dead end [00:10] ctmjr: i want to get fglrx pretty much from the first earlier this morning i uninstalled the hardware device one which came with the catalyst and i had 3d my propblem was when i was using playonlinux to play my windows games and i did check the winehq database and it should work my video card when i run like steam and all it starts to flicker on my screen as its loading so i think it has to do with my video card but in the mean time i trie [00:10] d the website i gave you and tried that and it went to crap im trying to get the most out of my video card because im a gamer [00:11] trism: so u suggest another wm, alright [00:11] losher: no, id prefer a usb-pendrive one [00:11] Americas Army Anyone, i downloaded the latest file armyops250linux.run but it just wont install, [00:11] RaviResck: you will probably use a special boot loader menu. some newspaper use them. some of these bootloaders are commercial, I think. [00:12] comicinker u think grub do the job? [00:12] ctmjr: there is no output === Sega is now known as Sega_Dude [00:12] RaviResck: I ment: newspapers or magazins who offer multi-boot dvds [00:12] ctmjr: after i tried using the website to help me i havent touched my video card at all [00:12] erUSUL: alright alright, there's no need to get charged up :D [00:12] RaviResck: I have no idea. grub is quite configurable. but there are more bootloaders [00:12] Shortly after starting the install I get "Call Trace:" and then "Code: e6 01 00 90 etc" [00:13] can someone help me get onboard sound working on my nvidia mobo ? error here: http://pastie.org/624005 [00:13] IpSe_DiXiT: sorry if i sounded "charged" did not meant to. could be the "lost in translation" effect english is not my mother tongue [00:13] I need to fix the dpkg was interruped error [00:13] IpSe_DiXiT: just trying to say that if you want to experiment you are free to do so. Linux is about choice [00:14] 9.04 broke a lot of stuff on my pc. switched back to 8.10 and all is fixed...my ati works now and my touchpad and even my wireless broadcom has better connections.why did 9.04 break so many things? [00:14] Sega_Dude: did you try dpkg -i ? [00:14] erUSUL: dont worry about it man :D i was kiddin to, i imagined u didnt mean to be mean :D itz alright [00:15] No. Ill try that. [00:15] Xodiac13: can you pastebin your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file [00:15] ctmjr: k [00:16] ctmjr: http://pastebin.com/m4c46aa2f [00:16] ctmjr: it was empty and on the website i had to add it [00:17] woodyjlw, in the graphics department the blame is squarely on ati, as for the rest ubuntu is moving away from proprietary drivers as fast as possible, my guess is your broadcom card was using an opensource driver in 9.04 which isnt quite there yet [00:17] craigbass1976: You may also try bitdefender for unices [00:17] i dont need a language selector do i [00:18] !generic [00:18] Background to the decision to replace -686, k7 and -smp kernels with -generic can be found here https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2006-August/019983.html (the -386 kernel is still available if needed) [00:18] oh [00:18] Anyone kno how to get wireless to work on a ps3 running 8.10? [00:19] IpSe_DiXiT: well xubuntu's designed for low end hardware... A comparison between ubuntu/bsd/dsl etc. is probably offtopic... [00:19] usser ok so from 9.04 on up the task is to work on the open source drivers and away from proprietary drivers. so I am probably better off staying with 8.10 for awhile till they improve the open source? === azarion is now known as anahel [00:20] hello everyone [00:20] Xodiac13: do you want the radeonhd driver or the fglrx driver or just want it to work? [00:20] quick question if I may [00:21] ctmjr: i want both [00:21] ctmjr: im a gamer and i want to get the best out of my 3d [00:21] i'm uninstalling things i don't need so do i need a language selector [00:21] !ask | quickstart [00:21] woodyjlw, yes the support is constantly improving, the opensource intel wifi drivers are great on 2.6.30 kernel which i believe is the one karmic koala is using, im sure other drivers has gotten significant overhaul. Still dont hope for your graphics to work if you have even a semi-old ati card. [00:21] quickstart: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [00:21] ok thanks ubottu [00:21] *giggles* [00:21] I just installed 9.04 using wubi [00:22] its on a second harddrive [00:22] alguien habla [00:22] quickstart: Im good with wubi [00:22] espanol [00:22] !es | armaguedon [00:22] armaguedon: 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. [00:22] is it possible that after the installation that the computer will become a multiboot? [00:22] sweet Sega_Dude [00:22] so maybe you can guide me from here [00:22] usser im on an hp laptop with 200m so I doubt it will have the overhaul I will need....how long before they stop suport of 8.10? [00:22] It sould quickstart [00:23] Xodiac13: edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file and add this under driver/ Option "AccelMethod" "EXA" [00:23] ctmjr: okay [00:23] woodyjlw, i believe its a year of support. that means in october [00:23] woodyjlw, 8.04 will be supported till 2011 [00:24] comicinker: I tryed dpkg -1 and it says i need superuser privilge [00:24] Xodiac13: then restart X [00:24] ctmjr: can you help me reinstall the driver period so there is no problem please [00:24] I may stick with 8.04 then till all the other drivers get fixed then [00:24] ctmjr: instead of the hardware drivers [00:25] well my question is this [00:25] if I install using wubi on another hdd [00:25] woodyjlw: that's my plan too. Maybe by 2011 sound on 9.04 will work,.... [00:25] and I reboot [00:25] Sega_Dude: first: it was dpkg -i, not dpkg -1; second: it needs superuser? give it with sudo; third: I told you crap. maybe sudo dpkg --configure -a will do the job [00:25] what will happen? [00:26] will grub take over my machine ? [00:26] the second hdd is a slave and the first is a windblows master [00:26] quickstart: No [00:26] ok will it not boot into ubuntu? [00:27] Xodiac13: if you have a gui and your xorg.conf file show's radeonhd as the driver then you are using the open source driver not the hardware driver which is the fglrx driver [00:27] usser well thanks for the info :) that helps me to plan what I need to stick with for now and I will have to try to keep myself up to date with what drivers I need that are being improved before I upgrade [00:27] quickstart: installing ubuntu by using wubi won't install grub. it will modify your windows bootloader in first place. [00:27] woodyjlw, no problem [00:27] it will install ubuntu onto the bootloader? === Shirakawasuna2 is now known as Shirakawasuna [00:27] quickstart: It will only boot it if u select it. It will [00:28] ctmjr: i was also trying this though https://launchpad.net/~tormodvolden/+archive/ppa [00:28] ctmjr: i got to the last step on putting the key in so i can download the updated drivers but it doesnt seem to work [00:28] ohhhhhhh I see so ubuntu is now on my Windblows bootloader [00:28] awesome [00:28] ctmjr: am i doing something wrong [00:29] quickstart: uhm... yes... [00:29] ctmjr: uhm nm i guess it did [00:29] Anybody know why I get (pretty much) nothing but these error messages when I try to start the Ubuntu 9.04 installation?: [00:29] [38803.019202] Buffer I/O error on device sr0, logical block 130645 [00:29] im updating the xorg or something like that [00:29] Chetic: your hd connection or hd is broken [00:30] sweet ok another thing is their away to create a media stream using ubuntu as a media service? [00:30] comicinker: You sure? Couldn't be anything else? [00:30] ctmjr: thats wierd because when i first did it it said it wasnt able to download it and now it is its updateing [00:30] Chetic, bad cd, bad cd-rom, hdd might be dying, some external cd dont adhere to standards completely [00:30] ctmjr: crap now its doing a partial upgrade do you think thats going to fix my problem [00:31] it could be also a heat problem on your hd [00:31] *external cd-roms [00:31] ctmjr: nm it didnt work [00:31] Sounds like the hdd then. The drive's pretty fresh and I've tried with 3 different discs [00:31] Xodiac13: i have no idea what file from that ppa are you installing? [00:31] Time to upgrade I guess [00:31] Chetic: if it is a optical drive, the medium might be scrached [00:31] quickstart, there are a number of options, vlc is probably the easiest to setup, theres also icecast, but thats only for audio [00:31] i need a tool to draw a network [00:31] ctmjr: i dont ether [00:31] ctmjr: thats the help i need [00:31] visualize my network design [00:32] ok so I can use icecast for audio [00:32] What device does sr0 refer to? [00:32] quickstart, definetely [00:32] Chetic: the optical drive [00:32] ctmjr: i get an error anyways want me to pastebin it [00:32] hmm [00:32] It did sudo dpkg --configure -a and it said errors were encounter while processing:ghostscript [00:33] is it possible to use icecast while windows is open using the power of virtualization? [00:33] ctmjr: http://pastebin.com/m42f37856 [00:33] quickstart, can you rephrase your question? what do you mean by while windows is open? [00:33] what I mean is that windows is running [00:34] in crontab, what is the first number? [00:34] quickstart, as a main OS? [00:34] quickstart: Wubi isnt virtlization [00:34] no as the os that is running [00:34] ok what I mean is Windows is selected as the running operating system [00:34] in the boot menu [00:35] Xodiac13: just forget about that ppa for now and add that line to xorg.conf file then restart X [00:35] quickstart, ok [00:35] ctmjr: okay brb [00:35] anyone know what the first number is in crontab? [00:35] aloha! does anyone know how to connect to a WPA2-PSK network using the command line? google has been a dead end [00:35] !cron [00:35] cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto - There is also a decent Howto at http://www.tech-geeks.org/contrib/mdrone/cron&crontab-howto.htm [00:35] Ahhhh ok well I meant using a different sofware then Sega_Dude [00:35] Sega_Dude: what did you try to achive before the install process was interrupted? [00:36] Updates comicinker [00:36] quickstart, there are tools for windows to stream music as well, like shoutcast [00:36] ctmjr: im back [00:36] true but I will be running ubuntu and windows [00:37] on various machines [00:37] This is what I want to plan [00:37] I want to make a central media server to play music in my home [00:37] quickstart: Your gonna need something like vmware [00:37] ctmjr: wow my video is horrible [00:37] I want that machine to sound on different channels throughout the home [00:37] quickstart, hang on there was a nice little tool to do just that [00:37] brb [00:38] really sweet hoookme up usser [00:38] Sega_Dude: could you post the complete error message? [00:38] anybody, need help on axim x50v rom update wm5 [00:38] Sega_Dude: but not in this channel, pastebin or somewhere [00:38] It may be fixed now hold on comicinker [00:38] I've read the documentation on crontab [00:39] Sega_Dude: I try hard, but it's difficult ;) [00:39] still having problems [00:39] ctmjr: im back that messed everything up when i just now tried playing a game do you think if i were to go to ubuntu 9.10 that it would solve me problem [00:39] if I want a shell script to run, do I need to include the '.' in front of teh command? [00:39] ie ./home/backups/dailyBackup.sh [00:39] ok, so samba has been a bit off in Nautilus in that i could not see other computers on the network if i went to the network option. now for some reason i can see them, but if i mount a drive Nautilus crashes and all the icons on my desktop vanish. when i open the dir from Nautilus all the icons pop back up [00:39] quickstart, its called subsonic, http://subsonic.sourceforge.net/ its basically a web based music/video collection manager/streamer. you can access your collection at home from any browser from anywhere in the world [00:40] erm [00:40] my live cd [00:40] isnt installing right [00:40] Sp3c1alK: it must be executable, too. chmod +x dailyBackup.sh [00:40] ok now here is the rub [00:40] is there a way to install from the internets [00:40] Lenin_Cat: try all on one line [00:40] !minimal | Lenin_Cat [00:40] Lenin_Cat: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [00:40] What I want to do is stream and control the stream from any computer in the house [00:40] regardless if it uses ubuntu or not [00:40] I did [00:40] LjL: im on a livecd right now [00:40] some people think I need to be root ro edit crontab [00:40] quickstart, ^^ [00:40] but it didnt install the data correctly [00:40] ctmjr: do you think im better with going to ubuntu 8.10 [00:41] do I HAVE to be root to edit crontab? [00:41] Sp3c1alK: /path/to/./script is also possible (but different) [00:41] so that package will work better than icecast sweet [00:41] Lenin_Cat: i got that. [00:41] comicinker: Thanks! Your the first one that gave me the fix! [00:41] Xodiac13: it does have better support for ati cards [00:41] ctmjr: im screwed do you think i have a better chance at installing the one at the ati website [00:42] LjL: can I do this from the livecd without having to go to my laptop and burn it again [00:42] :P [00:42] Sega_Dude: please remember the command. sudo dpkg --configure -a write it down or something. I can't remember all that stuff too, so I wrote it down... [00:42] Lenin_Cat: no, you need to burn again. [00:42] Now if i could only get the wireless to work. [00:42] :< [00:42] Xodiac13: did you download it yet? [00:42] ctmjr: im downloading it right now and its almost done [00:43] Sega_Dude: did you tried the restricted drivers? [00:43] ctmjr: its done [00:43] No. [00:43] Sega_Dude: did you try anything? [00:43] LjL: the minimal cd has a live cd mode right? [00:43] Xodiac13: do you know how to install it? or do you need help? [00:43] sweet [00:43] Lenin_Cat: no, it doesn't [00:44] Youtube videos lols [00:44] ctmjr: i know how one problem is that i dont know how to uninstall or what to uninstall before i install it [00:44] so here is another question regarding subsonic [00:44] ctmjr: like that one website i showed you [00:44] Nope its not there. Its a PS3 btw [00:44] if I have it streaming to a machine can I change the playlist from another machine [00:44] ctmjr: i forgot what it installed so when i install the ones from the ati website they should work [00:45] ? [00:45] Xodiac13: did you install anything with fglrx in the name? [00:45] ctmjr: in order to find that out i search it in synaptics package manger right? [00:45] ok [00:45] my hard drive just started clicking [00:46] Sega_Dude: what ubuntu did you install? 8.04? 9.04? [00:46] 8.10 [00:46] Xodiac13: yes you can search for fglrx and uninstall anything that was installed [00:46] ok last question regarding it [00:46] ctmjr: k is there anything else i need to uninstall [00:46] Can ubuntu play the music if its in mp3 format? [00:47] !ps3 | Sega_Dude [00:47] Sega_Dude: Aside from i386 and amd64 platforms, Ubuntu is also available for alternate platforms. Playstation 3 ( support in #ubuntu-ps3 ) Apple PowerPC ( support in #ubuntu-ppc ) [00:47] Xodiac13: if you installed anything from ati's web site [00:47] Sega_Dude: furthermore: 9.04 will work better. and: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-cell/2008-May/000073.html [00:47] Thank u ubottu and comicinker!

[00:56] Rizwan is a first time user of Ubuntu [00:56] damion_dark8: Ubuntu [00:56] i just installed it somehow, know nothing and need help [00:56] LjL: a nokia fan :) [00:56] is that the command line behind the shell? [00:56] (that was intended as a command, by the way) [00:57] i mean, is that the command line behind the GUI? [00:57] kermit, well check your .xsession and .bash* script to see if pidgin/skype are being setup there, otherwise i think you may find autostartup configs in the gconf-editor (idk where tho) [00:57] damion_dark8: yes so ive been told [00:57] !packaging | benc [00:57] benc: The packaging guide is at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/NewPackages for information on getting a package integrated into Ubuntu - Other developer resources are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment - See also !backports [00:57] LjL: yes i know / [00:57] ewp: .bash* only runs when i open a terminal, right?

[00:57] ewp: i have no .xsession [00:58] kermit: you can load your .bashrc in a terminal with source .bashrc [00:58] damion_dark8: Its great [00:58] comicinker: i'm trying to figure out why pidgin runs when i login to gnome [00:58] kermit, as for gdm you need to run the update-rc.d on /etc/init.d/gdm [00:58] Greetings :) will someone help me editing my fstab file? please [00:58] kermit: did you save your session ones?

[01:08] comicinker: well... what i basically want to do is to be able to have the same music when i go to the music folder in windows or ubuntu or documents or images.. do you recommend something else then? [01:08] i keep seeing that word,...sudo [01:08] a guy names "somebody" tryied sending me a keylogger just now [01:08] ScottNYC: cancel that [01:08] sudo = super user do [01:08] ScottNYC: we know. disregard.

For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) [01:09] o000 [01:09] Alan502: you can use softlinks to your music folder on the windows partition. drag and drop with pressed to get that option [01:09] LjL: Karmic Will break? [01:09] it will break? [01:09] super user = administrator ? [01:09] it ran faster when i used it first on a usb flash drive [01:09] rizwan: i'd reinstall it if you can. that seems a long time to boot for some reason, mine takes about 2 mins [01:09] you are lucky [01:09] damion_dark8: super user? [01:09] Cpudan80, phix: the bot means that using it NOW it will break. [01:10] oh [01:10] i need some help with partitioning my hard drive [01:10] makes sense [01:10] LjL: ah ok, thank you buddy [01:10] Alan502: 1. drag and drop; 2. press alt; 3. release mouse button [01:10] damion_dark8: it also means root [01:10] softlinks? like.. shortcuts? [01:10] is a super user the same thing as an administrator? [01:10] rizwan: and thats from pressing the power button [01:10] rizwan: Ext4 will speed boot up by a lot, but it can be a bit dodgy in 9.04 still, for example a lock up issue maybe when deleting big files, it is the default file system for the next one though :) [01:10] 0o. [01:10] jamiewan, isn't there anything i can do other than a reinstall [01:10] Alan502: similar, but better [01:10] huh? ok will try it [01:10] thanks :D [01:10] okay [01:10] so sudo is a command to run programs from the root directory. [01:10] i think i have Ext3 [01:10] damion_dark8: no [01:10] rizwan: you will have by default [01:11] So I have a wireless PCMCIA card but it's appearing as an eth1 dev not a wlan1 dev. (Cisco aironet 340) [01:11] hi, to install ext4 what should I create? [01:11] ok [01:11] just a ext4 called / and swap? [01:11] damion_dark8: it's a matter of privileges, not the directory things are run from. [01:11] rizwan: see sebsebseb comment up a few lines [01:11] n-iCe: uhmm see what I just said to rizwan regarding Ext4 [01:11] o00. i am going to go read the help file you sent me. [01:11] brb [01:11] how can i have Ext4 [01:11] Boffo, may i help? [01:11] How can I get the system to recognize the PCMCIA wireless card a a wireless device? [01:11] download the package [01:12] rizwan: manually partitioning that's how [01:12] when i try to partition my hard drive, i get this error [01:12] http://img43.imageshack.us/img43/3995/screenshotinformationab.png [01:12] ok [01:12] my friend has a problem where firefox won't refresh pages. I told her to clear the cache, and that worked once, but after refreshing once it stopped working again. help? [01:12] sorry just get to irc [01:12] and that'll fix my problem for sure [01:12] ss [01:12] you use ext4 sebsebseb? [01:12] n-iCe: yes [01:12] one more question. how long the installation procedure normally takes [01:12] Boffo: you should run fsck on windows on that drive [01:12] lakotajames: Check the date and time on the box. [01:12] rizwan, hrm...20-30 minutes [01:13] rizwan: 15-20 mins [01:13] sebsebseb what are the partitions i should create [01:13] rizwan: no more than one hour [01:13] okay thanks, i assume thats ran from cmd? [01:13] ok guys [01:13] let me do that again then [01:13] thank u v.v. much [01:13] Boffo: better that way [01:13] lluad: it's correct. [01:13] okay, im going to switch back to windows, ill get back on if i have anymore problems. thanks! [01:14] n-iCe rizwan: used to run 9.04 with Ext4 on here, then put Karmic alpha 4 on. and the other computer when I re installed and put 9.04 on yep Ext4, but, because of the kernel that's in 9.04 and stuff like that, it can be a little dodgy, so any important data should be backed up, if going to do it, but should be doing that anyway since hard disks can just fail [01:14] Boffo: happy to see you soon [01:14] sebsebseb well im going to format, so no files to back up [01:14] I just need to know the partitions, I think a / mounted as ext4 and the swap partition would be ok, no? [01:15] n-iCe: / a swap maybe, and a seperate /home maybe [01:15] aaa /home [01:15] I'm having difficulties setting up djbdns,dnscache and tinydns. First problem is I moved the ./main log dir to /var/log, changed permissions accordingly but tail -f /var/log/dnscache/current doesn't show any activity anymore, same goes for the tinydns log dir. I made the change to the /log/run file feeding multilog the new location, and restarted the service, am i missing anything? [01:19] so whenever i start graphical applications i use gksudo? [01:19] monostone-> you have an entry in your syslog.conf ? which is what? [01:19] damion_dark8: whenever you want a graphical app to have sudo you use gksudo yes [01:21] n8tuser, no new entries in syslog [01:21] whenever i want a graphical application to have superuser privileges (ie root), i use gksudo instead of sudo. [01:21] damion_dark8: yes [01:21] hello it's boffo again, im back on windows, although i cant seem to run the "fsck" command [01:21] monostone-> if no entry within syslog.conf , how do you expect the syslogd to insert log entries? [01:22] Hiii [01:22] There are of this type of chat in Spanish [01:22] ???? [01:22] !es [01:22] 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. [01:22] Boffo-> fsck is unix/linux command not a windows [01:22] n8tuser: just wanted to tell you i was the one with the partition problems yesterday. The only solution i found was complete partitioning [01:22] so i should run chksdk? [01:22] n8tuser, first the dnscache log is owned by user: dnslog, and logging is redirected as I specified to /var/log/dnscache/. Why should syslog be recording anything? [01:22] ubottu Thanks!!! [01:22] Sorry, I don't know anything about Thanks!!! [01:22] Alan502-> oh okay, a new install resolved it? [01:23] Danada [01:23] monostone-> whats the perms on /var/log ? can anyone write to that dir? [01:23] Boffo: oh, I forgot. it is call chkdsk [01:23] n8tuser, logging was working correctly in its original location /etc/dnscache/log/main/ I just moved the folder, maintaining permissions, and edited the /log/run file accordingly [01:24] okay thank you, i was running it earlier, but i stopped in the middle cuz... i forgot. but ill give it another try [01:24] Boffo: maybe you will have to type in something like chkdsk -f c: [01:24] monostone-> look at the perms on /var/log/ dir and is your user dnslog able to write or not? [01:24] Boffo: no. chkdsk c: /f [01:25] n8tuser, the log folder is owned by root [01:25] monostone-> correct, and does user dnslog have same priviledge? [01:25] i saved aircrack-ng-1.0.tar.gz [01:25] Bah, so I've pretty much solved all of my other problems with PXE, but now I'm running into a weird problem with mounting an nfs share. No matter what I try, I get the error "mount.nfs: access denied by server while mounting 192.168.100.1:/cluster_nodes" is this likely a problem with /etc/exports, or /etc/hosts.deny? [01:25] Chkdsk cannot run because the volume is in use by another [01:25] process. Would you like to schedule this volume to be [01:25] checked the next time the system restarts? (Y/N) [01:25] what do i do with tar.gz files? [01:26] so...I can't grab and move my panels. is there a key I need to be pressing? [01:26] Boffo: guess [01:26] n8tuser, no, dnslog is a specific user for logging dnscache, it does not have root privileges [01:26] should i run it in safe mode with cmd? [01:26] Boffo: no. check on next boot. type in Y [01:27] monostone-> correct, so either a root user or a user with root priviledge are the only ones allowed to write in that dir.. following me? [01:27] oh sry lol im being stupid at the moment [01:27] Boffo: yes. ;;) [01:27] brb :) [01:28] n8tuser, but the /var/log/dnscache folder is owned by dnslog. And i see log files written by syslog user which is part of adm group, and these don't have root privileges either [01:28] does ubuntu use GNOME or KDE? [01:28] im guessing GMONE right? [01:28] damion_dark8: ubuntu uses gnome [01:29] ok thanks [01:29] damion_dark8, ubuntu= gnome kubuntu=kde [01:29] damion_dark8: kubuntu kde [01:29] monostone-> you're the one that told me, owner of /var/log is root, so am just following the logic, [01:29] So, I take it nobody can help with the nfs problem? It's a real bugger... [01:30] n8tuser, yes true, but the folder dnscache inside /var/log isn't owned by root. isn't this like the /home folder being owned by root, but then the users folder under /home being owned by him? [01:30] o0ooo [01:30] I know on windows when you erase a thumb drive you right click and format but on ubuntu I dont see that as an option so what do I do to erase a drive on ubuntu? [01:30] monostone-> whats the perms on /var/log/dnscache/ ? [01:31] for some reason my built in web cam stopped working.. it was.. why would it stop? it says no such device now. [01:31] woodyjlw: a delete [01:32] ill try that [01:32] n8tuser, 0755 for the dnscache/ folder and 0644 for the logfiles within [01:32] monostone can you paste the owner:group ? [01:33] n8tuser, dnslog:djbdns [01:33] gcc compiler is for noobies like me? [01:33] ok that erased all the folders and stuff so I guess there would be no reason to format it then right? [01:34] woodyjlw: delete will move files to the trash. to completeley remove them use delete. [01:34] so does anyone have an android phone and does it work well with ubuntu [01:34] damion_dark8, gcc is fairly easy to use [01:34] damn im so lost [01:34] monostone-> and the owner:group of /var/log ? [01:35] woodyjlw: to remove files from the trash of your thumbdrive, go to .Trash-1000 of your thumb drive [01:35] cool that worked :) thanks [01:35] n8tuser, root:root, i also believe something with permissions, since in its original /etc/dnscache location it logged fine, but same as /var/log /etc is also owned by root, and also /var/log/dnscache is owned by dnslog:djbdns same as /etc/dnscache (the original location) [01:35] it now shows no used space on drive :) [01:36] damn i dont know what to do. [01:36] damion_dark8, what are you trying to compile? [01:36] well, im tyring to learn how to use this operating system. [01:36] but i installed it simply to use aircrack-ng [01:36] monostone-> if you were to su as dnslog can you write to that directory of /var/log/ ? [01:36] fair enough so have you installed ubuntu 9.04 then? [01:37] i installed aircrack-ng from synaptics package manager... [01:37] i just don't know how to open it. [01:37] what is up with people and aircrack-ng lately. knowing almost zilch about linux infrastructure they wanna hack wifi networks with aircrack suite :-\ [01:37] oh lol.. well it's a CLI tool [01:37] well i'd do it in windows but windows doesn't support it. [01:37] n8tuser, that isn't possible to do, since dnslog, has no login [01:37] windows doesn't support a lot of stuff [01:37] you have to open a terminal and try airmon-ng [01:38] Hey all, i downloaded skype and instaled it, but when i logg on all my contacts are gone,, somone ho know how and whay? hehe (sorry my spelling are from norway) [01:38] use your interface instead of wlan0 [01:38] damion_dark8, join #aircrack-ng [01:38] ewp: same person new nick me thinks [01:38] ok [01:38] monostone-> you can give it ability to login, am curious to as why it would not allow you to write though...am perplexed [01:38] n8tuser, what does a 't' bit at the end of the permissions string indicate? drwxr-sr-t [01:38] once you have mon0 activated then you can try airodum-ng mon0 [01:38] ctmjr may be onto something :p [01:38] my interface, as in, my ssid? [01:39] **airodump-ng [01:39] damion_dark8, no.. check out ifconfig or iwconfig or airmon-ng [01:39] Has anyone seen karmic hard lock with only '^@^@^@^@^' aka binary goo in /var/log/messages when it happens? I'm not sure if this needs to be reported or how to troubleshoot it. [01:39] monostone-> sticky bits and you have two, the s and the t there.. i have to refer back to old notes.. hehe [01:39] The only unusual thing is an ati video card using fglrx [01:39] dump collects the ivs, aireplay does the packet injection and aircrack does the cracking... it's not that difficult once you're familiar with cli :-\ [01:39] Karmic has caused these hard locks very frequently [01:39] SEJeff: #ubuntu+1 [01:40] comicinker, Thanks [01:40] hasn't someone made a gui for aircrack yet? [01:40] damion_dark8, it will show up as something like wlan0 or eth1 or similar [01:40] oh wow i actuallly got somehting done...i had to run airmon-ng as a superuser....so i did sudo airmon-ng and put in my password [01:40] yeah i see it now [01:40] monostone: Sticky bit. means you can't delete a file unless you own it. Usually used on /tmp and friends. Check man chmod. [01:40] cool. i getting somewhere. [01:40] n8tuser, aha!! i think you just enlightened me!!! the multilog binary which handles the logging issues the setuidgid command [01:41] damion_dark8, i know the basics or aircrack utils so if you need more help let me know [01:41] n8tuser, could that be part of the problem? [01:41] hi everyone [01:41] monostone-> i forget things myself, so i have to refer back to some tutorial again myself [01:41] I have a fujitsu laptop hard drive and wondering if there is a utility under ubuntu that can write it to zero to completely blank the drive [01:41] Hey all, i downloaded skype and instaled it, but when i logg on all my contacts are gone,, somone ho know how and whay? hehe (sorry my spelling are from norway) [01:41] is it possible to determine the internet speed through some linux command? [01:41] hi [01:41] why fonts in java applications haven't hinting ? [01:41] monostone-> i think with the s and the t being set, yes, those could be the source of the problem if not set correctly [01:42] akatsuki, you could always go to speedtest.com [01:42] thank you outcold [01:42] Well, a reboot didn't work... and now my video is all messed up. Any ideas why nvidia isn't listed under my "restricted drivers" section? [01:42] i would need to run it from live cd to blank the drive to zero if I can [01:42] .net/.org? [01:42] Out_Cold: i am thinking i can include it on conky [01:42] woodyjlw: sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/you_fujitsu [01:42] what does CLI acronym stand for? [01:42] damion_dark8: Command line interface [01:42] monostone: daemontools overloads the sticky bit to control logging, IIRC [01:42] damion_dark8: Command Line Interface [01:42] oh ok [01:42] thanks [01:43] idelly i jsut wanna play around with aircrack now....i know i have to download a special driver for my internal wireless device on my laptop. [01:43] i have the RTL8185 wireles device. [01:43] i just can't find the driver for it. [01:43] lluad, setuidgid is a command [01:43] damion_dark8, what's your device? [01:43] Does anyone know where I can find a video editor that can turn the video 90 degrees? [01:44] where is the start menu button located in nautilus/ [01:44] n8tuser, lluad :let me check into this [01:44] matthew1, This isn't windows. There isn't a start menu. Take a look at the "Applications" menu with an Ubuntu logo in the top left [01:44] damion_dark8, try lspci | grep 802.11 [01:44] well if I run airmon-ng as superuser, it says RTL8180/RTL8185 [01:45] the driver installed is rtl8180 [01:45] Nobody? I can boot into the older kernel and get the nvidia stuff to load perfectly, anybody know how I can fix my current kernel to include the nvidia stuff? [01:45] haha classic [01:45] SEJeff...that's not what I'm asking...i'm trying to change the menu button to something else I just called it a "start" button...I want to find where the image is in nautilus [01:45] "where's the start button?" [01:45] matthew1, It isn't an image, it is text [01:45] comicinker will that comand work from live cd? [01:45] matthew1, you can use ubuntu-tweak to change it [01:45] woodyjlw: yes. but be careful with that command! [01:46] How do I connect to a network share in Ubuntu? [01:46] whats a good program for ubuntu to play hd movies i have a hd dvd player for the 360 [01:46] will vlc work? [01:46] SEJeff...the ubuntu logo that gives me the menu is an image...I changed it to something by editing the png files for, but I forgot where it was and I can't find it online [01:46] and I want to change it to something else [01:46] I wrote it down. anything bad can happen if I dont do it write? [01:46] what does that command do? [01:46] damion_dark8, lets try with your current driver.... [01:47] So, nobody can help with either my nfs problem OR my nvidia problem? please? [01:47] that lists your network device [01:47] matthew1, you can use ubuntu-tweak to change it [01:47] woodyjlw: dd erases unrecoverable. even the FBI will try hard to recover that data [01:47] booleancat, you can check out #nvidia [01:47] o000....tr aircrack with my current driver to see if I can fetch a good number of IVs....I will try it. [01:47] How do I connect to a network share on Ubuntu? [01:47] Does anyone know where I can find a video editor that can turn the video 90 degrees? [01:47] ewp...I'd rather just find the location. i always use shortcuts and that's why I don't know anything [01:47] Out_Cold: Thanks, all I wanted was *some* form of response [01:47] anyone know how to make 7z show up in the menus as extract here? [01:48] damion_dark8, turn your card into monitor with airmon-ng start <--insert your device [01:48] ok [01:48] thanks [01:48] booleancat, what's the nvidia issue? [01:48] woodyjlw: so make sure you have the reight /dev/drive. and/or partition. after a reboot, the letters might change [01:48] how can i get bigger text inn here? [01:48] well my wireless device is built into my laptop. [01:48] jiohdi3, Install nautilus-actions and create a menu entry for it [01:48] no card. [01:48] I forgot, how do I load new fonts onto my system? I recall there being a terminal thing, stuff to type to update the cache. Any ideas? I've already searched Ubuntu Help. [01:48] im thinking of buying one though. [01:48] damion_dark8, it's still considered a card :p === jiohdi3 is now known as jiohdi [01:48] i have 6 virtual workspaces, is there a shortcut key to just go from workspace 1 to workspace 4? [01:49] SEJeff, I know there is some way to do it through bash... but I cant remember how [01:49] oh ok [01:49] ok well I am useing a 40 gig now but will be installing my 100 gig witch has had several OS systems installed and I would like to do a full clean format on it before I install again [01:49] akatsuki, try ctrl + alt + left, left. left [01:49] akatsuki: ctrl alt up,down,left,right [01:49] Well, I'm setting up some PXE boot stuff, and set up a new kernel image to boot off of nfs. Long story short, I accidentally trashed the most recent kernel under ubuntu, so I rebuilt it with an mkinitramfs command. Ever since, I can't get the nvidia card to even show up under the new kernel. Booting an older kernel works fine [01:49] Ohh ok i see what you mean [01:49] SEJeff, I use Thunar [01:49] ...... [01:50] Can anyone read what I'm typing? [01:50] mnaines: yes [01:50] yes mnaines [01:50] mnaines: no. I cant't read what your typing [01:50] ok...Just wondering why nobody is answering my question [01:50] Out_Cold: comicinker: Yeah but with that I have to pass through other workspaces first before getting to workspace 4... A direct switch to ws 4 from ws 1... is it possible? [01:50] mnaines: What type of network share? nfs, samba, etc [01:50] booleancat, as far as i'm thinking you need to load in the nvidia modules to the kernel.. [01:50] jiohdi, So ask on #xubuntu or #xfce [01:51] booleancat, I'm trying to connect to a shared folder on a Windows box [01:51] mnaines: what network share? [01:51] Out_Cold: Is that why it won't show up under the System->Hardware Drivers menu? [01:51] akatsuki, you can click on the window on your task panel? [01:51] mnaines: a virtual one? [01:51] Its a shared folder on a Windows box, comicinker...That's all I can say [01:51] mnaines, sometimes ubuntu wont show samba clients in "network" but you can just access by smb:/// [01:51] booleancat, that seems to look like the reason.. [01:51] maybe I should install irc in live cd and see if some one can help make sure I dont screw up lol :) [01:51] SEJeff because those channels are usually ghost towns [01:52] booleancat, i would do more googling on loading nvidia modules [01:52] mnaines: did you had a look in places->network? [01:52] comicinker: When I click that, it pops up with an error: "Cannot Mount Network: Unable to retrieve share list from server" [01:52] I forgot, how do I load new fonts onto my system? I recall there being a terminal thing, stuff to type to update the cache. Any ideas? I've already searched Ubuntu Help. [01:53] akatsuki: you can set a keyboard shortcut for it in system preferences... [01:53] Does anyone know where I can find a video editor that can flip the video 90 degrees? [01:53] anyone know how to change the capture key for VirtualBox OSE? [01:53] misteralexander, go into synaptics package manager and search for new fonts [01:53] n8tuser, lluad: yeah, i found the error, the logging is still being done to the old log file, EVEN though i renamed the folder and modified the run script which specifies the mulitlog location, as well as trying both svc -d /service/dnscache svc -u /service/dnscache as well as trying svc -h /service/dnscache [01:53] <_Trinity_> hi all [01:53] DeathMetalDean: avidemux? [01:53] Out_Cold: I am using a laptop, and as much as possible I practice myself not to rely on touchpad for access.. but if there's no way to do that then I have to settle with ctrl + arrow keys.. :( [01:53] !hi | _Trinity_ [01:53] _Trinity_: 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! [01:53] <_Trinity_> say what does glxgears install with? [01:54] <_Trinity_> hi [01:54] mnaines: try ewp's tip [01:54] hmmm...apparantly I dont need to install that "special" driver being as I have ubuntu 9.04 jaunty jackalope [01:54] akatsuki, or the kb shortcut idea offered above.. [01:54] <_Trinity_> thanks ubottu, lol! [01:54] Alright, thanks Out_Cold [01:54] Out_Cold: I've got the fonts, about 10,000 ttf's . . . I know I can just put them in "/home/username/.fonts . . . but wasn't there something about updating the cache? [01:54] comicinker: I tried it, I don't think you can on it [01:54] damion_dark8, sometimes the defaults are good ;) [01:54] according to this website http://forum.aircrack-ng.org/index.php?topic=3833.0 [01:54] Now, has anyone else ran into the problem of being unable to mount an nfs share with the error "mount.nfs: access denied by server while mounting" [01:55] yeah thats awesome. [01:55] i was sure the driver part would set me back a ways. [01:55] misteralexander, the only thing i can think of is "updatedb" [01:55] <_Trinity_> I just figured out whow to get X with the r128 driver working after daysss [01:55] k. thanks! [01:55] Out_Cold: Oh yeah I overlooked that reply.. will look into that one now.. [01:55] _Trinity_, congrats :) [01:55] <_Trinity_> thanks [01:56] DeathMetalDean: load the video in avidemux, go to video->filter->rotate [01:56] *** For every single linux problem, there exists 30 solutions ;) [01:56] is there a way to get the terminal background black and text to be white? [01:56] easier on the eyes. [01:56] <_Trinity_> but I realized that I don't have glxgears [01:56] damion_dark8, in the menu settings at the top [01:56] version [01:56] let me add, arch linux is DEFINITELY not a distro for linux beginners :-P (just installed a vbox vm today) [01:56] <_Trinity_> I must have uninstalled them with I uninstalled the ubuntu-desktop [01:57] LMAO [01:57] no one knows? :( [01:57] yea no arch for noobs lmao [01:57] I almost always disable my swap, because it's never needed with the things I do on my computer. However, is Linux like Windows where it will force using page/swap memory when your physical memory is running low? [01:57] can someone tell me why, everytime I start ubuntu /var/run/screen gets reset from 777 back to its default setting? It means I need to chmod evertime I boot ubuntu.. anyone seen something like that before? [01:57] elvtars: Hmmm. I am assuming it's the keyboard shortcut under the System Preference.. I can only set shortcut keys for 2 workspaces..... [01:57] _Trinity_: to get glxgears install mesa-utils [01:57] comicinker: Thanks very much :D [01:57] arch is better than gentoo at least, gentoo is like compile hell [01:57] !ot [01:57] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [01:57] n8tuser, lluad: is it possible that a complete reboot is necessary to enable these changes?? [01:58] <_Trinity_> ctmjr: thanks [01:58] Rooftops, why not ask in #virtualbox [01:58] oh thats a lot better. i can read easier now. [01:58] #vbox [01:58] <^robertj> can anyone recommend an 802.11 printer/scanner combo that behaves nicely in Ubuntu? [01:58] i guess that would help... lol [01:58] i have a problem i need help i have installed the drivers from ati and when i load up playonlinux it says it doesnt detect 3d on my video card [01:58] DeathMetalDean: next time, remember not to turn your mobile ;) [01:58] ha, i can change it xchat too. woot [01:58] monostone-> dont have to be a complete reboot [01:58] thanks, i was trying to find that before [01:58] Xodiac13, glxinfo | grep direct <-- does that say yes? [01:58] comicinker: ahahaha xD! yeah thanks lmfao xD awesome guess :P [01:58] monostone-> perhaps a change of level to single user and then back [01:59] ewp, #virtualbox forwards you to #vbox lol [01:59] Does anyone know about the swap/memory question? [01:59] oh okay haha [01:59] ewp: X Error of failed request: BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation) [01:59] Major opcode of failed request: 135 (GLX) [01:59] Minor opcode of failed request: 19 (X_GLXQueryServerString) [01:59] Serial number of failed request: 14 [01:59] Current serial number in output stream: 14 [01:59] Xodiac13: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:59] akatsuki: hmm I have alt-1, alt-2 etc set for all four of mine [01:59] If I'm using apt, downloading A, can I remove the /var/dpkg/lock and download B whilst A is ongoing? [01:59] Lemurian: no! [01:59] Lemurian-> it may corrupt your system [01:59] LjL: why? [01:59] can someone tell me why, everytime I start ubuntu /var/run/screen gets reset from 777 back to its default setting? It means I need to chmod evertime I boot ubuntu.. anyone seen something like that before? [01:59] elvtars: how did you set that up? [01:59] n8tuser: why? [01:59] somone who know whay my cam dont work at aMSN? its just white inn the other side.. [02:00] Lemurian: there's a *reason* the lock is there. [02:00] LjL: what's that reason? [02:00] hi room... mind-numbingly stupid question. I just used synaptics package manager to get googleearth-package. How do I get the program up & running? [02:00] Lemurian, system corruption [02:00] ewp: uhm i seem to have a problem i just installed the drivers from ati thinking they where going to be better and now its not [02:00] akatsuki: you can add more shortcut, right click or something... [02:00] Lemurian-> they put locks so no other process/users have access to same files [02:00] torn: swap = at least 2 times the memory size [02:00] Lemurian: Specifically, apt database corruption [02:00] Lemurian: only one package manager is allowed to run at the same time [02:00] ewp: lol i just had 3d and now catalyst doesnt want to load all of a sudden [02:00] I wonder why portage allows multiple downloads [02:00] Lemurian: the reason is that APT isn't in the least engineered to support multiple concurrent operations. [02:00] feNNec_, but what about this: [02:00] are there alternate package management systems for ubuntu other than apt [02:01] feNNec_, I almost always disable my swap, because it's never needed with the things I do on my computer. However, is Linux like Windows where it will force using page/swap memory when your physical memory is running low? [02:01] ewp: it was working like a minute a ago [02:01] LjL: right :) === mike is now known as KpNemo [02:01] Xodiac13, well do you get direct rendering or no? [02:01] torn: No, if you have no swap, it won't swap, it'll just have problems [02:01] i have a question... been asking it in all the other rooms and no one has an answer. hopefully someone here can help me [02:01] ewp: no [02:01] ewp: i get an error [02:01] hopefully [02:01] Okay, thank you, Flannel. [02:01] anyone got an idea about my problem? [02:01] ewp: how do i uninstall the ati drivers now so i can go to hardware drivers and install that on [02:02] <_Trinity_> well it doesnt look lliek I have much accel but it feels smoother [02:02] Xodiac13, lsmod to see if fglrx is loaded [02:02] ewp: how do i uninstall the ati drivers now so i can go to hardware drivers and install that one* [02:02] sorry Kingsy101 [02:02] Flannel, the reason I asked is because Windows, against the user's choice, will force virtual memory when RAM runs low. [02:02] ewp: k [02:02] does anyone know how to get google earth running on 9.04? I downloaded googleearth-package from synaptics, but I don't know what to do now? [02:02] <_Trinity_> fps peak at 24 [02:02] torn: That said, for sufficient RAM, you don't need 2x, and for some values, 1x is too much (unless you're doing special things, or wanting to hibernate) [02:02] Back for more help: I know now how to reinstall GRUB. First, though, I need to remove it completely so that for now, my system will automatically run Windows Vista. How can I do this? [02:02] Flannel, I found on 2 GB, I never need swap. [02:02] <_Trinity_> anyone have a Rage 128 card? What fps rate do you get? [02:02] torn: if you have a lot (> 2Go) mem, then you can disable swap, or set it to 2 Go only. But don't forget hibernation need [02:02] ewp: no i just did a clean install and i installed the video card driver wtf [02:02] Sm0k3yP0tH3ad [02:02] Flannel, even when running a virtual machine that gets dedicated 512mb, I'm still hovering around 1 GB of RAM usage.... [02:03] weird [02:03] ewp: is there a way to fix it [02:03] lolz [02:03] looking for someone who is good with kubuntu 8.04 ( i know this is ubuntu, but nowhere else has helped) with kde 3.5.10 and would like just kdecore-without upgrading my kubuntu or my kde [02:03] ewp: cause its irritating me to no end [02:03] feNNec_, yup. And I don't use hibernation, anyways. [02:03] Xodiac13, well were debugging the source of the problem [02:03] wuts this thing for [02:03] Out_Cold - sorry about what? [02:03] ewp: o okay [02:03] Thanks for clearing it up, guys! [02:03] grafixbadnow: Looks like googleearth-package isn't what you want. It doesn't install google earth. Instead, you can enable medibuntu and then install google earth, or just download google earth from medibuntu, and then install it. [02:03] no help for your problem [02:03] ewp: i love ati DRIVERS woot [02:03] Xodiac13, check if the driver is even loaded (lsmod | grep fglrx) [02:03] vegaterain101: do you have an Ubuntu question?

[02:11] ewp: yay woot woot (sorry im kind of pissed that even ati creates the driver and it doesnt evern work correctly) [02:11] darkham: i use VLC mediaplayer to play dvd, includes codecs and stuff [02:12] comicinker: Thanks!! it worked xD [02:12] ewp: funny thing to for a while the new video card i got which is this one even on windows when you go to the ati site the drivers dont work they had the drivers mixed and i had to go find them some where else [02:12] n8 [02:12] OerHeks: yes, but i've a "dirty" playback with vlc too [02:12] what can i set to have it more clear? [02:13] Xodiac13, people prefer nvidia on linux [02:13] Xodiac13, have you tried the fglrx driver method? [02:13] ewp: yeah i was going to go with nvidia but ati was cheaper so stupid me couldnt spend a little extra [02:13] take it from me, nvidia is def better than ATI on linux.... well, im stuck with ati [02:13] woodyjlw: simplistically 'dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/YOURDRIVE' [02:13] ewp: can you help me do it step by step i dont want to mess it up [02:14] anyone know the command to start system monitor? [02:14] gnome-system-monitor [02:14] txzlegend: even ati is cheaper i guess i found out why cause they dont give a crap if they even work or not its not like im a gamer or anything :) [02:14] Xodiac13, i'll try [02:14] ewp: thank you where do we start [02:16] Xodiac13, well you're going to want start with a clean slate [02:17] ewp: uh ho how do i do that [02:17] ewp: clean install [02:17] Xodiac13, are there instructions on how to uninstall radeonhd? [02:17] ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo dd if=/dev/zero/you_fujitsu [02:17] dd: opening `/dev/zero/you_fujitsu': Not a directory [02:17] ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/fujitsu [02:17] dd: opening `/dev/fujitsu': Permission denied [02:17] ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/fujitsu [02:17] woodyjlw: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:17] dd: writing to `/dev/fujitsu': No space left on device [02:17] ewp: uhm idk === Amaranth_ is now known as Amaranth [02:18] Xodiac13, lol okay well let's start by saying xorg.conf tells X which video driver to use [02:18] ewp: yeah i found something on it i will uninstall it this is the website http://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/linux_8.24.8.html#179310 [02:18] Xodiac13, being you dont even have the driver loaded, we'll start from there anyway [02:18] how can I connect remotely to my desktop (Ubuntu) from my PC (Windoze)? === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [02:18] how does one keep track of ips connecting to a webserver or those trying to establish unauthorised connections? [02:18] ewp: but the driver is there lol [02:18] Hey Guys. I've just installed the Kubuntu 9.10, but my windows (to play games only) ins't in the GRUB Menu [02:18] ewp: do you want me to uninstall it [02:18] Cerrdor, what kind of connection do you want? command only, x windows, file share? [02:19] !vnc | Cerrdor [02:19] Cerrdor: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX [02:19] Xodiac13, can you 'modprobe radeonhd' ? [02:19] !grub [02:19] GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [02:19] ewp: no [02:19] woodyjlw: see my pm [02:19] doesnt windows natively have a remote desktop viewer? [02:19] Xodiac13, errors with that? [02:19] ewp: well it says FATAL: Module radeonhd not found. [02:19] im trying to install ext4 file system ubuntu 9.04 im at the advanced specify partition screen. do i check free space then click new partition table? [02:19] 8.04 does not include the add option for keyboard short cut... is there other way to add short cuts in hardy? [02:19] Cerrdor: its called rdp [02:20] ewp: yeah lol [02:20] Xodiac13, ah okay then it didn't install the driver as a kernel module [02:20] ewp: so lol [02:20] gwop, is this a fresh install?? [02:20] Out_Cold: yes [02:20] gwop, is this a brand new hard drive? [02:20] Xodiac13, at most you may have some config files in /etc but that's most likely ineffective at this point to messing with fglrx [02:20] torn, no === floopsie is now known as Floops [02:21] gwop, is there data that you need currently stored on the drive? [02:21] ewp: okay well im ready to get this video card working [02:21] gwop, if you switch it to ext4 it will overwrite all the other data [02:21] Xodiac13, okay so we're going to try the fglrx module, since i read that a guy had success with your same exact card [02:21] Hey Guys. I've just installed the Kubuntu 9.10, but my windows partition (to play games only) ins't in the GRUB Menu [02:21] Out_Cold: hi again [02:21] there is nothing on it [02:21] ewp: one thing i have the catalyst control center installed though and i dont know how to uninstall it should i worry about [02:21] gwop, and it should ask you right before it writes. so if you are doing it right, you'll be given praise [02:21] sup damion_dark8 [02:22] Xodiac13, ah you may want to remove it [02:22] Guest36417: can you pastebin the output from 'mount'? [02:22] which should be type for new parition, primary or logical? [02:22] ewp: uhm how do i do that [02:22] Xodiac13, open synaptic and search ati === GuilhermeCunha_ is now known as GuilhermeCunha [02:23] ewp: okay [02:23] how does one keep track of ips connecting to a webserver or those trying to establish unauthorised connections? [02:23] gwop, Extended [02:23] how to put a windows partition on GRUB2 menu? [02:23] Xodiac13, i remember it being something like ati****ccc (ccc= catalyst control center) [02:23] is there an app to help manage webserver? [02:24] epw: shocking its not there nothing of ccc and i know what you mean [02:24] gwop, what I do is create an extended partition, and then make the swap, root, and home partitions as logical partitions within the extended. [02:24] Xodiac13, you've must have installed it through a .run/.bin file or something similar [02:24] epw: i searched up ati and a got like five files [02:24] hey [02:25] Xodiac13, what are they? [02:25] epw: yup it was a .run file [02:25] i want to run ubuntu remix but it does not work with my wireless and wired network [02:25] can someone fix for me? [02:25] gwop, it will look like this: sda1 (extended), sda2 (unused), sda3 (unused), sda4 (unused), sda5 (swap), sda6 (root), sda7 (home) [02:25] epw: xserver-xorg-video-ati [02:25] Xodiac13, remove that [02:25] epw: k [02:25] ewp: sorry to bother you again, but I found it... usr/share/icons/"themename"/"size"/places/start-here.png [02:25] Logical partitions, 5 through 7 will be within the first extended partition, which is 1. [02:25] Xodiac13, select completely remove tho [02:26] epw: i did and then theres [02:26] torn, http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/5569/screenshotia.png [02:26] matthew1, cool man nice find [02:26] is that right? [02:26] epw: xserver-xorg-video-radeon [02:26] n8tuser, excellent, it required a drop to single user and back again, it seems the set sticky bit needed more then just a service restart :) Thank you for your time, I initially dismissed perms as being the issue due to the ownerships being correct, your persistence helped point me in the right direction [02:26] 8.04 does not include the add option for keyboard short cut unlike 9.04... is there other way to add short cuts in hardy? [02:26] ewp what was that program you suggested? [02:26] Xodiac13, remove that too haha [02:26] epw: xserver-xorg-video-mach64-dl [02:26] matthew1, www.ubuntu-tweak.org [02:26] i tried "chkdsk C: /f" twice, and still no luck, i still can't partition my drive [02:27] epw: k [02:27] thanks ewp. [02:27] Xodiac13, remove all xserver-xorg-video* [02:27] how can i have a clear dvd playback? [02:27] Xodiac13, completely remove**** [02:27] epw: xserver-xorg-video-r128-dbg [02:27] gwop, I'll check. [02:27] monostone-> sometimes we all need that extra eye thats all.. wish you luck [02:27] epw: so pretty much remove everything [02:27] gwop, I can't see. [02:27] torn, and should i have a swap area? [02:27] can some1 help me out with jackd server, how do i configure it to run without dropping? [02:27] gwop, the partitions are covered. [02:28] Boffo: chkdsk isn't for partitioning, try gparted. [02:28] Xodiac13, well only important ones are radeon and ati and fglrx [02:28] epw: okay nm there where only two [02:28] oops lol [02:28] one sec [02:28] epw: the ones i told you [02:28] n8tuser, thanks, now on to my final issue [02:28] Xodiac13, remove any packages for xserver pertaining to ati video cards [02:28] epw: its done i just did that [02:28] anyone care to answer my question? ivw got it setup, I think it is secure at least to the ebst of my ability it is secure now I want to know how I go about managing it without having to go to the logs all the time [02:28] Xodiac13, okay now exit synaptic [02:29] epw: okay [02:29] torn, http://img12.imageshack.us/img12/3667/screenshot1tj.png [02:29] sry [02:29] monostone you're welcome [02:29] Pirate_hunter what are you trying to manage on it? [02:29] i get an error when i try to partition, im taking a screenshot and uploading it to imageshack to show you [02:29] gwop, did you make the first partition primary and tell it to use up the entire drive? [02:29] Xodiac13, here's a guide we'll be following: http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Jaunty_Installation_Guide [02:29] i get this error: [02:29] http://img132.imageshack.us/img132/3995/screenshotinformationab.png [02:30] Xodiac13, should install ccc too, i believe [02:30] Xodiac13, yea it will [02:30] epw: I NEED HELP PLEASE [02:30] torn, yeah im pretty sure i just went to the advanced options and when i seen free space i clicked new partition and made that, so yeah it should use the entire parition [02:31] gwop, the traditional setup would be: swap, /, /home [02:31] gwop, how much RAM does you have? [02:31] *do you [02:31] torn 3gb [02:31] I have correctly installed and configured dnscache + tinydns. I have tested dnscache via a tail -f logfile, and it is correctly cacheing content. Now, I am setting up a development/test environment, so I am using internal IP's, but i can NOT manage, to get tinydns to resolve the domains on my local network. I am forced to add the entry to the hosts file, but i want to avoid this, any ideas? [02:31] gwop, you don't need swap, then. [02:31] epw: dont leave me alone i need step by step help incase something goes wrong [02:31] gwop, but you should still create a swap partition, just in case. [02:32] torn, i made the ext4 logical [02:32] gwop, delete the partition you just made and right-click to create a new one (starting from scratch). [02:32] torn, ok [02:32] gwop, make the first partition an Extended type. [02:32] I need my local nameserver to be the first authority, before it checks the global servers [02:32] Xodiac13, i sent you a PM [02:32] oj I thought I had the r128 working [02:32] s0u1t: yes, like you said trying to, just need to make sure it is secure and someway to be able to keep track of ips/connections [02:32] Boffo: if you have ntfs-3g installed, you can try this: ntfsfix /dev/sda4 [02:32] epw: how do i check it [02:32] thought wrong [02:33] gwop, extended partitions will not be formatted. Think of them as "containers" for other logical partitions. [02:33] Boffo: replace sda4 with sda1, or your appropriate disk, sorry. [02:33] yes but what applications etc are you trying to "manage" [02:33] Xodiac13, call me "ewp" so my xchat highlights your messages [02:33] torn, what do you make it an Extended type? [02:33] jeruvy, sorry i don't know how to do that [02:33] epw: how do i do that [02:34] torn, i click free space and hit new partition correct [02:34] Question - I just now realized during the last 4 years, I've always used rsync, but only from 1 hard drive internally to another. How can I rsync an Ubuntu computer's home directory to another Ubuntu computer? [02:34] gwop, correct. [02:34] gwop, and then choose Extended. [02:34] call ewp [02:34] s0u1t: any ideas? [02:34] call "ewp" [02:34] Xodiac13, how do you do what [02:34] monostone: I was working on that awhile ago. I couldn't figure out how to assign the dns server to my client. Are you using a static ip on your system? Did you already set up your local nameserver? [02:34] i [02:35] kinda need more details on what your trying to manage [02:35] hello, where is the X config located? my ubuntu has detcted an "unknown" monitor that is really causing conflicts and i need to remove it... [02:35] ewp: you said call you lol how do i do that in here [02:35] torn, there is no extended you mean ext3 or ext4 [02:35] iam unable to remove it through the GUI panel [02:35] gwop, not for filesystem type. For partition type. [02:35] Xodiac13, i meant type 'ewp', not 'epw' [02:35] gwop, there are 3 types of partition types: Primary, Extended, and Logical [02:36] Pirate_Hunter you mentioned you didn [02:36] torn, i only see primary and logical [02:36] 't want to look at log files... what do you want to look at exactly [02:37] gwop, maybe the installer automatically creates an extended when you choose logical. [02:37] torn, http://img3.imageshack.us/img3/5344/screenshotmr.png [02:37] torn, ok [02:37] kevin|demarest, yes, i am using a static IP 192.168.1.2, i have setup my local nameserver as well. running dnsq ns server-name IP gives a correct answer [02:37] epaphus: sounds like you want /etc/X11/xorg.conf but yours is most likely empty [02:37] gwop, okay, then select logical, and make the size 3072 MB. [02:38] gwop, and for filesystem type, choose swap. [02:38] kevin|demarest, now, when i try a dnsqr ns server-name it jumps directly to the global providers, and totally ignores my local nameserver [02:38] s0u1t: huh? [02:38] monostone: I think you've gotten farther than I have. Bind9 runs on my local server, but I don't think it's set up properly [02:38] torn, ok done [02:38] gwop, screenshot, just to double check? [02:38] Pirate_Hunter, perhaps I don [02:38] s0u1t: webserver asking on how to manage it or at least an easier way to do it [02:39] how can i have a clear dvd playback? [02:39] please help me [02:39] Pirate_Hunter, perhaps I don't understand the question, from what it sounds like your asking I [02:39] 8.04 does not include the add option for keyboard short cut... is there other way to add short cuts in hardy? [02:39] I'm back! [02:39] torn, i noticed it [02:39] kejava, why would mine be empty? [02:39] sebsebseb: there? [02:39] 'd have to refer you to the web server software documentation for specific procedures to secure it [02:39] it will be different for each webserver platform [02:40] n-iCe: yes [02:40] torn, nothing for mount point correct [02:40] gwop, before we continue, look at the partition number. It says sda5, not sda1. [02:40] torn, ok [02:41] kejava, its not empty.. but it is very simple... how can I remove that screen that it dected.. [02:41] epaphus: with the newer versions of X, they're "bullet proof" and no longer need configuration. it should be empty now. you still have the option to force some parameters in there. btw, mine is empty. [02:41] gwop, just a quick note: The four Primary/Extended partitions that can exist on an msdos partition table are partitions 1 through 4. However, partitions 5 through whatever are logical partitions that can reside within an extended one. [02:42] epaphus: got any "screen" sections in your config? may need to remove or edit them. [02:42] kejava, i only have one... [02:42] torn, how do i make it sda1 [02:42] the problem is i need to start my laptop with a HDMI cable because if not the screen will show distorted [02:42] epaphus: paste bin the file so we can see it [02:42] any change i do in the screen resolution panel doesnt take effect [02:43] gwop, so in your case, you have Partition #1 as an Extended. Partition #2, #3, and #4 are not used yet (might never be, in fact.) Partition #5 is your swap (within #1 extended), and #6 will be root, and #7 will be home. (All 3 within #1 extended). [02:43] gwop, you can't. sda1 is the extended partition (which was automatically created when you made the logical one.) [02:43] torn, ah ok [02:43] gwop, makes more sense now? [02:43] torn, yeah [02:43] kejava, http://pastebin.com/d41d2e947 [02:44] torn, so what next [02:44] gwop, it's easier to think about it visually. 1 through 4 are the primary/extended partitions. 5 through infinity are the logical partitions, which live inside 1, 2, 3, or 4 (in your case, only #1 is ever being used, and 2, 3, 4 are unused.) [02:45] gwop, create another partition in the free space, and make the size what you want the system (root) partition to be. [02:45] any clue on when amsynth is going to be brought to speed? [02:45] what app can i use as a webcam or camera on my laptop? thnks! [02:45] gwop, I'd recommend 10 GB (10240 MB), which is enough breathing room for Ubuntu, plus extra software. You can make it bigger if you want. [02:45] movela, cheese [02:45] gwop, in this case, you'd format it as ext4 [02:45] nyRednek: thanks.. any others beside cheese? [02:46] epaphus: try commenting out "Virtual 2304 800". that part may cause issues. other than that, you have nothing else in there that can do much. is this a crt or lcd monitor? [02:46] torn, can i use the rest of the free space as ext4? [02:46] movela, that one seems to work best [02:46] ok thanks [02:46] kejava, its a laptop.. ill try renaming the file [02:46] so it creates one [02:46] gwop, I wouldn't do that. [02:46] gwop, read my above message. [02:46] brb [02:46] ok 10gb [02:47] epaphus: you can also try completely deleting the contents of the file [02:47] gwop, it's best to keep the / and /home partitions seperate, and not to simply include EVERYTHING (such as user home directories) within the / partition. [02:47] gwop, did you choose / as the mount point? [02:47] torn, i see [02:47] gwop, edit it, if you did not. [02:47] i've found that sometimes, with a heavy dose of audio apps, 10gb just isn't enough, but i've never taken up 20gb [02:47] torn, yea [02:47] thanks ill try [02:48] torn, make that one logical as well? [02:48] nyRednek, even on openSUSE (DVD installation), my / never went above 5 GB. [02:48] !regex [02:48] Sorry, I don't know anything about regex [02:48] while we're asking about programs, does anyone know of a relatively easy video editor? [02:48] gwop, correct. [02:48] torn, i have installed up to 8 GB [02:48] under / without counting /home/ [02:48] gwop, logical, format, filesystem ext4, mount point / [02:49] Out_Cold, with Ubuntu, fresh install? [02:49] torn, no not fresh install lol... [02:49] Out_Cold, or after installing extra apps? [02:49] i'm pushing 5gb now [02:49] extras [02:49] Out_Cold, I was about to say, lol. [02:49] nyRednek: kdenlive [02:49] torn, ok that one is sda6 etx4 / 10240 mb [02:49] comicinker, ok, i tried to do some stuff with kino, but i like to put audio on still frames that transition [02:50] torn, what will come of the rest of the free space? [02:50] gwop, it's up to you if you want it to be 10gb or 20gb, whichever you prefer. If you want to play it safe, go with 20gb. But keep in mind, that means 10gb less will be available for your files, pictures, music, videos, etc. [02:50] comicinker, i'm NOT a pro with video [02:50] comicinker, but i'll try that [02:50] gwop, final partition: logical, format, ext4, mount point /home [02:50] gwop, you can use up the rest of your free space for this last partition. [02:50] nyRednek: DVD slideshows? tried devede? [02:51] gwop, if you take the time to learn LVMs you can make dynamic disks that you can change according to your needs [02:51] Anyone know how I can blow out a users settings taking them back to default? [02:51] Just delete .gconf? [02:51] It worked kejava thanks :) [02:51] Default gnome I should specify sory [02:51] comicinker, i'm slowly working into doing some stuff that is going to involve some more advanced processing [02:51] I messed up trying to configure my external HDMI screen [02:51] epaphus: great! glad i could help :) [02:51] Out_Cold, I think he just wants a traditional Ubuntu installation. [02:51] comicinker, putting different video sources in boxes within the final video [02:51] comicinker, will that do it? [02:52] torn, yea.. but throwing the idea out there [02:52] nvm i'll remove .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity [02:52] like i said earlier... 1 problem has 30 solutions ;) [02:52] Out_Cold, it's cool. [02:52] torn, http://img19.imageshack.us/img19/6835/screenshotin.png [02:52] nyRednek: just try them all out. for advanced video editing, use jashaka or blender [02:52] Out_Cold, with Windows, 1 solution generates 30 problems. [02:52] so true [02:52] hai [02:53] comicinker, i thought blender was more solid modeling? [02:53] gwop, you're ready to roll. [02:53] torn, thanks [02:53] blender is everything. it will make your live better. [02:53] So now.. I have a laptop.. and Id like to mirror my screen to the HDMI connected LCD panel... by defualt it should always do that.. whats the bets way to do it? [02:53] comicinker, a good tutorial for blender?(don't say rtfm) [02:54] gwop, anytime. [02:54] nyRednek: rtfm. google? blender.org? [02:54] gwop, I'm not even a knowledgeable Linux user. I had used Windows for so long, but made the switch. [02:54] gwop, I'm still learning a lot of things as I go along. I doubt I'll ever figure out the super-elite advanced stuff, hehe. [02:55] is it possible to run a nameserver on a local network, without the nameserver being officially registered? [02:55] ewp: im back [02:55] nyRednek: the best source is often the original home page. gimp is a good example [02:55] ewp: how do i test to see it it worked [02:55] Xodiac13, glxinfo | grep direct [02:55] comicinker, jashaka has been ported to Linux? (I know, I'm slow.) [02:55] monostone: yes [02:55] ewp: k [02:55] Xodiac13, does it say 'yes' ? [02:55] *jahshaka [02:55] ewp: it said yes [02:56] Xodiac13, congrats you have 3d [02:56] ewp: how do i check to see if my 3d is working [02:56] ewp: thank you but is there something like fglxgears [02:56] how do i setup cheese? the app is working but the taking a pic/vid does not [02:56] Xodiac13, well glxgears is what people like to look at for testing 3d [02:56] torn, im still trying to understand the mount points part what is difference in / and /home? [02:56] how to determine gnome version? [02:56] i know it worked the first time i did a clean install [02:56] Xodiac13, fglrxgears [02:56] ewp: dang lol it runs even better [02:56] gwop: / is c:\ /home is d:\ [02:57] torn: has it ever been windows only? [02:57] Xodiac13, lol i was beginning to worry if i broke your xorg === a1g is now known as alex4 [02:57] ewp: it said command not found [02:57] gwop, / is the root partition. /home is where use home folders are located. This is the partition where each user saves their files, music, pictures, videos, etc. It is also where program settings are saved (in hidden folders that start with a period ".") [02:57] ewp: how do i get to use fglrxgears [02:57] gwop: if you ever separated your stuff in windows [02:57] Xodiac13, it must just be glxgears then my bad [02:57] wasn't sure there was a blender.org [02:57] comicinker, I'm not sure. I remember my cousin was using it on Windows a while back. [02:57] comicinker, so... [02:57] ewp: okay nice [02:57] ahhh ok i see [02:57] Xodiac13, whatever command gives you taht cool box with 3d gears [02:57] ewp: it runs better than the drivers in hardware drivers [02:57] and what did the swap partition do? [02:57] or for [02:57] ewp: lol [02:57] gwop: pagefile [02:58] ok [02:58] Xodiac13, now go enable visual effect and compiz ;-) [02:58] ewp: o yeah i love compiz woot woot [02:58] gwop, if you don't create a /home partition, then /home will simply act as a folder on the / partition. This is bad practice, since if you need to reinstall/reformat, all your personal files will vanish. === alex4 is now known as alex1 [02:58] Hey guys I'm encountering a fsck.ext3 e2fsck_read_bitmaps illegal bitmap blockv for /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol02 preventing from booting any tips on how to repair it? [02:58] Xodiac13: glxinfo|grep renderer [02:58] blue-frog, I've setup and configured tinydns on a server on my local network, dnsq or dig @ commands answer correctly, but when i try dnsqr or dig, it skips my nameserver and goes to global servers. How can I avoid this? My goal is to setup a complex dev environment which mimics a production setup. [02:58] soreau, he's got a yes [02:59] ahh ok i see now [02:59] soreau, using fglrx driver now, not radeonhd [02:59] ewp: That means nothing. YOu can have direct rendering while using software rasterizer [02:59] ewp: soreau: OpenGL renderer string: ATI Radeon HD 4350 [02:59] nmatrix9: fsck -fy ? [02:59] Xodiac13: fglrxinfo should talk about ati. And the program you're looking for is fgl_glxgears [03:00] comicinker yeah already tried that and did a reboot still get that same error [03:00] soreau: nice [03:00] soreau, ah so there is a glxgears for fglrx [03:00] soreau: where do i get it [03:00] gwop, but keeping / and /home as seperate partitions (mounted in these two locations, respectively) then you could literally format/install another distro on the / partition (sda6), and leave the /home partition (sda7) unformatted (but mount sda7 to /home during the installation). Then, you can continue with all of your personal files and settings still in tact, while on a new Linux installation. [03:00] ewp: Sort of.. it's glxgears rendered on sides of a rotating cube === alex1 is now known as a1g [03:00] soreau: o sweet [03:01] you know, i may replace this radeon driver with fglrx now :-P [03:01] soreau: it runs like heaven on earth [03:01] Xodiac13: Where do you get what? Just type fgl and press tab a couple times [03:01] movela: are you sure you video device is being created as /dev/video0. on my system, cheese defaults to use that device, at least that's what gconf-editor shows. === zenmij_ is now known as GreyBeard [03:01] ewp: dang man thank you so much its like heaven with the graphics like this want a screen shot [03:01] finger [03:01] is there something in bash similar to windows' ipconfig? [03:01] blue-frog, i don't want to use the hosts file to force my private domain names (e.g. web1.server.internal, mail.server.internal, ns.server.internal) I need my local nameserver to resolve these names [03:01] seyfarth: ifconfig [03:01] ewp: really good frame rate to man [03:01] torn, nice [03:02] genii-around: thanks [03:02] seyfarth: Welcome [03:02] Xodiac13, im good man on the ss haha, any time [03:02] comicinker I'm running it again it's more verbose this time [03:02] ewp: ss? [03:02] oa [03:02] Xodiac13, screenshot [03:02] thats what mine shows too dev/video0 kejava [03:02] Xodiac13, i believe you offered one or w/e [03:02] nmatrix9: I'm afraid I cant help you [03:02] ewp: yeah [03:02] comicinker, any idea what causes it? [03:02] seyfarth, did you see my correction to your xorg.conf last night? [03:03] hi 1 question please, why stopping a job, then type jobs -l to get the pid, i do kill (pid) and doesn't work? even with sudo, i need to kill it with -9 [03:03] monostone: set up dynameic updates [03:03] seyfarth, on pastebin [03:03] obiwan__ kill -9 pid [03:03] ewp: well have a good one and keep up the good work and us windows people switching over to ubuntu linux i switched to linux for good i dont like Windoz === a1g is now known as alex3 [03:03] ewp: I don't think so. [03:03] ewp: have a good one and take care [03:03] Xodiac13, aight man come back whenever [03:03] kejava: when i did a clean install cheese worked. i installed some appz and it couldn't now [03:03] ewp: cool peace [03:04] yeah comicinker , but -9 is when a process is considered important by the system, so it regrets to kill it. A simple ls, isn't important. I shouldn't need the -9 [03:04] seyfarth, have you gotten the dual monitors working? [03:04] ewp: think you got the wrong guy :) [03:04] seyfarth, ah sorry haha === alex3 is now known as alex1 [03:05] obiwan__ -9 means SIGKILL. I don't think it is has something to do what the system considers to be important === alex1 is now known as a1g [03:07] movela: does the /dev/video0 device actually exist? check to make sure. you may also want to try some other video apps too: gqcam and camorama [03:07] obiwan__ and kill needs you to specify a signal. kill pid won't work. maybe use kill -15 pid. [03:07] blue-frog, is that the correct solution to my issue? I would like to understand why my setup is failing, the same setup on a production environment with registered nameservers works flawlessly. isn't it possible to setup my local nameserver as the initial authority? [03:08] thnaks kejava [03:09] monostone: I am not in your local setup. I do not know what you wrote to achive what. Just saying that having dns locally automatically updated when local clients connect to the network works fine [03:09] ahh ok comicinker i was mistaken then, thanks :) [03:09] movela: both of those apps offer some nice command line parameters that could be useful [03:10] blue-frog, yes i understand [03:10] monostone: then if a client is looking straight for the root servers, tell him to search your domain first [03:10] monostone: resolv.conf search my-domain [03:11] blue-frog, you're right! I forgot about that completely [03:11] monostone: not to speak about the nameserver IP there's in it [03:13] blue-frog, yes , obviously i have my local nameserver defined in resolv.conf. like i mentioned, local dig or dnsq commands return correct responses [03:13] heloo [03:14] why the first step update kernel 2.6.27.7 to 2.6.31 [03:15] thanks kejava... also it says there is no such device or could not connect (dev/video0) [03:15] Is there a way to look at a process called python and see what it's doing? [03:15] nvm, answer is ps -A -f [03:16] movela: do you get anything when you type "ls /dev/video0" at the command line? [03:17] is anyone in here? [03:17] no [03:17] ok m. [03:17] heh [03:17] i jsut found out i can sucessfully inject packets. woo hoo@ [03:18] damion_dark8: do you have a support question? thats kind of offtopic [03:18] kejava ----> ls: cannot access dev/video0: No such file or directory [03:18] no. sorry. i will control my outbursts [03:18] movela: is this a usb cam or integrated cam? [03:18] oops.. my mistake it says /dev/video0 [03:19] kejava: its a built in webcam [03:19] ~ $ ls /dev/video0 [03:19] /dev/video0 [03:20] movela: hold on, i'm testing out my cam. it's usb but should behave in a similar way.

I use to know this one, unfortunately I've forgotten... how does one connect to a wireless network via command line? I've followed some "standard" tutorials online, using iwconfig, which seems to work okay, but when I get to getting the IP stuff from dhclient or dhcpcd, it never seems to work... I just get errors/time outs. [03:31] my pc uses ddr 2100 [03:31] okay, so I tried installing the adobe_flash_plugin_10 deb file, now when I open anything with Flash in Firefox, it crashes [03:31] p4 dell got it 75 bucks shipped [03:31] other people seem to be able to connect to it [03:31] same if I try and go on the Firefox plugin page [03:31] So now.. I have a laptop.. and Id like to mirror my screen to the HDMI connected LCD panel... by defualt it should always do that.. whats the bets way to do it? [03:31] I tried uninstalling ff and reinstalling, same effect [03:31] now sure how to remove the deb installation [03:31] anyone? [03:32] movela: sorry for the long delay. looks like neither camorama or gqcam work with my camera anymore. only cheese and ekiga. so you may want to test with ekiga too. have you tried tweaking some of the settings for cheese in gconf-editor?

[03:33] i should have more ram in a week [03:34] I can start up X and Gnome and connect with knetworkmanager or the gnome network manager, and it works just fine, but I suspect I'm just doing something wrong in the command line (or like other things, Ubuntu handles this differently than most *nix) [03:34] DreamsofanEagle: start by installing this package from the repositories: "ubuntu-restricted-extras" [03:34] so how do I remove a deb install? (I can't look it up, because Firefox ain't working [03:34] I'd rather not have to have X running just for wireless [03:35] zebastian: you are connected through a hard line now? yes [03:35] ? [03:35] System-7: it should be as easy then as setting the ssid and dhclient. What errors are you getting?

DreamsofanEagle [03:38] how? [03:38] * DreamsofanEagle is a complete noob [03:38] e3co: that's what i just suggested. he may need a walk through with synaptic [03:38] Why is the permissions on /home/ allow any user to access any other account? and/or what chmod should I use to deny users the abilty to read/list other accounts files? [03:38] kejava: I got this one [03:38] DreamsofanEagle: have you used Synaptic Package Manager before? [03:38] woops igonore those tags in my commands lol [03:38] e3co: ok :) [03:39] System-7: have you tried running dhclient without specifying the interface?

[03:41] when everyone can [03:41] zebastian: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:41] using the same apssword [03:41] so when I try "sudo dpkg -p /home/koganei/Desktop/install_flash_player_10_linux.deb" it tells me the package is unavailable =/ [03:41] rug: and np ;) [03:41] when usually in other places i can [03:41] stealth, yeah I am not worried about the groups, just the various users [03:41] i don't like to have to operate in the office only [03:41] System-7: anytime :) [03:42] rug: yeah, you should be good then.

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 :) [03:42] n8tuser: AP? [03:42] zebastian, what kind of card do you have in your laptop? [03:42] zebastian-> access point [03:43] nomasteryoda: that's a great question, how do i check that on the terminal? [03:43] lspci [03:43] hey.. wondering if someone can point me to somewhere with a guide on how to get flash working in Ubuntu 8.04 [03:43] n8tuser: what do i have to do to figure out the AP?

[03:44] oh joy zebastian ... broadcom BCM4312 [03:44] stealth--> unless he knows how to get the route table correctly , the packet will get confused on which nic to come out of === bullgard is now known as bullgard4 [03:44] !broadcom | zebastian [03:44] zebastian: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [03:45] n8tuser: ah, I see. Thanks ;) [03:45] n8tuser: i am not trying to have my cake and eat here will ya? i am not trying to double connect, i am trying to connect wireless but i need to talk to you all and for that i have to connect wired [03:45] My wireless icon starts out greyed out and sometimes does not realize it can connect to anything for quite a while. Any ideas why that would be? [03:45] nomasteryoda: much appreciated but the card is not hte issue., the card works wonders, it does at home, it does and my gf's home it works at mcdonalds [03:45] it just doesnt' work here for some reason [03:46] zebastian-> i understand your delimna, anyhow, you have the infamous broadcom chip that cause many men to loss hair.. :P [03:46] n8tuser: my AP is called cap [03:46] I replaced my broadcom cards in all my laptops ... cost me about 25$ per system [03:46] zebastian-> its yours right? the AP with essid cap ? [03:47] THE CHIP WORKS FINE! in my house i have a wireless N router [03:47] that's the NGO i work for [03:47] !caps | zebastian [03:47] zebastian: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [03:47] www.amigosparalapaz.org [03:47] I was shouting for emphasis [03:47] i don't have 25 bucks, this is a compaq cq-40 so i doubt there's much i can replace as most of it is integrated [03:47] zebastian, encryption can cause issues on those chipsets, unless you are not using encryption on your home network [03:47] But it could be considered rude, and we are volunteers so respect is probably a good idea, zebastian [03:48] i dont have sound in ubuntu 9.04 [03:48] zebastian-> our experience has been, broadcom chips 43xx family is difficult to make work on linux systems [03:48] my home has encryption [03:48] zebastian-> to prove it, you'd find lots of threads on this [03:48] zebastian, almost all laptops come with mini-pci or similar port for either bluetooth or wifi cards ... [03:48] matter of fact i'll give you my password at home [03:48] abcdefg8 [03:49] jhouse: its just the way network manager is programmed, I believe. It doesn't do the check until a certain interval comes up, If I remember correctly. [03:49] zebastian-> it wont do me any good knowingyour password.. lol [03:49] zebastian, ok. if its aes & tkip, then you should change to just aes or just tkip and see if you can connect... do that on the AP [03:49] i dont have sound in ubuntu 9.04 [03:49] stealth: any way to adjust that interval? [03:49] nomasteryoda: you're saying there's something like a usb plugabble deattachable gadget i can get to plug onto my laptop that will solve this issue? [03:49] oh no actual chip ... give me a minute to look up your model [03:49] jhouse: without recompiling from source, I dont believe so. How long are you talking about, here? [03:50] nomasteryoda-> i let you take the lead, but perhaps you start him off without the wep or wpa, just in hte clear til he can connect [03:50] stealth, it varies up to about a minute or two [03:51] jhouse: hmmmm, I dont think that would be the interval check then. Unfortunately, past that I dont have much of an idea how to diagnose the problem [03:51] nomasteryoda: ^ [03:51] krishmish, have you maxed all bars in 'alsamixer'? === mano_ is now known as zoopie [03:51] ewp: lemme check [03:52] zebastian, yes can you turn off encryption and see if it will connect then? [03:52] ewp: yeah [03:52] start with the basics check all cables [03:53] That was for krishmis [03:53] ewp: but still i cant play sound [03:53] ewp: hmm yeah...im on a dual boot machine [03:53] nomasteryoda: no, it's not my network, it's configured by others and i am not allowed to it [03:53] do blackberrys work with this os?

I do not have CD-ROM, I got an installed system [04:13] dsnyders, sorry i got disconnected how ever your tips before i did got me to figureing it out thanks for all the help [04:13] but if you say that it will solve it nomasteryoda [04:13] saru: no, you need to have selected normal or extra.. if no errors then compiz is enabled and running === Andre_Gondim is now known as Andre_Gondim-afk [04:13] scatterp, You're welcome.

All, I repeat "all" of the Intel cards I've purchased have worked even as far back as Ubuntu Warty [04:14] dsnyders, if you have a nvidia card check cuda [04:14] bastid_raZor, i've got it set to extra right now, and when i move windows and such the effects do work [04:15] all internal cards.

Now, I am setting up a development/test environment, so I am using internal IP's, but i can NOT manage, to get tinydns to resolve the domains on my local network (commands dnsq a host IP and dig @IP host return correct responses, but dnsqr host, dig host and dig @IP -x IP all fail). My resolv. [04:15] conf has 127.0.0.1 defined as nameserver, i even added a search domain.internal, but nothing. I am forced to add the entry to the hosts file, but i want to avoid this, any ideas? [04:15] and with that help, i must bid you good day zebastian ... time for some shut-eye. [04:16] I have a question [04:16] saru: That means compiz is working. What else do you want to do? [04:16] bastid_raZor, lol im stupid i forgot to open the compiz manager and set the settings there :) [04:16] et86 [04:16] i was messing around with the aircrack suite, and somehow i've disabled my wireless.

[04:18] yes [04:18] saru: by default [04:19] meaning from the default install of the live cd [04:19] * danielsh was about to say 'thanks' to Cocoabean, but he just left... :( [04:19] ok [04:19] saru, there is also KUbuntu which comes with kde [04:19] saru: ubuntu, yes but you can install kde desktop [04:19] saru: kubuntu comes with kde by default [04:19] !info kubuntu-desktop [04:19] kubuntu-desktop (source: kubuntu-meta): Kubuntu desktop system. In component main, is optional. Version 1.122 (jaunty), package size 21 kB, installed size 48 kB [04:19] or you can install kde, or just the bits you need [04:19] * danielsh had connection problems [04:19] well what is the biggest difference between Kubuntu and Ubuntu, just KDE vs Gnome? [04:19] heh that package size is deceiving :) [04:19] saru: yes [04:19] saru: yes [04:19] saru: and muchos clutter [04:20] indeed [04:20] which one has more clutter? [04:20] kde =bloat [04:20] KDE = visual clutter [04:20] linxeh: Hehe yes it's definitely not any 21K thats for sure [04:20] its ugly as hell [04:20] saru: kde has the most klutter of them all ;) [04:20] Gnome is nicer to look at, but functionally crap [04:20] :/ [04:20] i'll probably end up sticking to Gnome then...

[04:23] but now i can't access the wireless network. [04:24] i think i wrote something like, iwconfig wlan0 down or something like that. [04:24] ? [04:24] damion, iwconfig wlan0 up might fix it. [04:25] nope [04:25] doesn't fix it [04:25] I have wireless networks enabled.... [04:25] never fails they ask how to run aircrack then a couple hours later ask how to fix their wireless [04:26] but when I click on the icon WIRED NETWORK AND WIRELESS NETWORKS is greyed out [04:26] lol [04:26] hey its part of the learning process [04:26] ctmjr, the signal is probably falling through the cracks in the air :-) [04:27] dsnyders: :) [04:27] wireless networks are enables....just the option is greyed out. [04:27] damion, sorry, I don't know enough about wireless config on linux to help. [04:27] oh alright [04:27] how would i go about disabling and enabling my wireless card though. [04:27] dsnyders [04:27] just like in windows? [04:28] dsynders: I have an issue with usb 2.0 and my external hard drive. I connect the drive and it tells me using dmesg | grep usb that i havea connected a high speed device but its only running at full speed and to connect to a high speed hub. I have tested usb 2.0 with my thumb drive and it works at full usb 2.0 speeds. What do you figre the issue is? [04:28] OMG speaking of wireless cards.... [04:28] shit [04:28] dsnyders rather [04:28] with Windows Vista, i plug in my AT&T Air Card, and it takes 20 minutes to setup [04:28] i plugged it into Ubuntu and BAM up and running in 10 seconds!! [04:28] i was sooo impressed [04:29] yah vista = strange and annoying (at least to me) [04:29] i've kind of wanted to try Windows 7 [04:29] me too [04:29] but i could never leave ubuntu now [04:29] its getting too good [04:30] RukusX, I suspect that it might be a "misprint". The USB is probably working at full speed despite the message. [04:30] before when i tried 7.04 for the first time i was like mehhh ubuntu is ok but man its a lot of messing around just to use a computer.. right? but into 9.04 HUGE improvement! other than my usb 2.0 devices not working! [04:30] anyone wanna help with that? [04:30] dsnyder a speedtest does not reflect that [04:31] dsnyders timing was 1000kb/sec roughly [04:31] my only concern with linux is game support :( [04:31] maybe just a cheap enclosure? [04:31] is there a way to use ubuntu to check a windows partition for errors? [04:31] i am sure it is not the best one. But it used to run faster [04:32] saru, Pysol seems to work fine. [04:32] what is Pysol? [04:32] saru, a Python based collection of solitare card games. [04:32] hey guys, so here's what I'm used to doing, see if you can change my life, whenever I have a dev envionrment , I open up 5 consoles, I usually name them php/mysql/html/css etc, whenver I go to edit a php file I suspend a file ( via contorl + z ) and then use jobs to check my open jobs, then I resume using %x, is there a better way I could be doing this with screen or something else...? [04:33] Timing cached reads: 2 MB in 2.09 seconds = 981.18 kB/sec Timing buffered disk reads: 4 MB in 4.06 seconds = 1007.92 kB/sec [04:33] dsnyders rather [04:33] ^ [04:33] dsnyders: but when i connect my usb 2.0 thumb drive i get usb 2.0 speeds! [04:34] i meant computer games like World of Warcraft, or Call of Duty, Tomb Raider : Underworld [04:35] saru wine now has directx support and virtualbox now supports hardware accelleration. to what extend performance and compatability are i am not sure. [04:35] mike45094: you can certainly have 1 screen session with different activities in each screen window. [04:35] kapil: could you explain to me how to do this [04:36] lspci | grep -i -E wireless\|ethernet [04:36] yeah i installed Wine last night and ran WoW from my windows partition and it ran but really slow... [04:36] what is the vertical line and where is it on the keyboard? [04:36] lspci | grep -i -E wireless\|ethernet [04:37] so im guessing my settings for wine configuration are wrong. [04:37] is that an i or an l? [04:37] start screen with "screen". You will get a command prompt (after the splash message). there you type something like "screen vi first_file.txt". This will open first_file.txt in a new screen window and so on. you switch between screen windows with "Ctrl+a" [04:37] RukusX, I'm not sure then. [04:37] lspci | grep -i -E wireless\|ethernet [04:37] dsnyders: ur not the only one [04:37] is this an i or an l in that command? i can't tell? [04:37] see "info screen" for the documentation (or "man screen"). Also remember "Ctrl-a ?" for help. [04:37] between lspci and grep [04:38] cool [04:38] mike45094: see if this helps you http://www.ubuntugeek.com/screen-manages-multiple-sessions-on-one-terminal.html [04:38] damion: It's the letter between h and j. [04:38] damion: its a pipe, and it is shift+backslash usually [04:38] kapil I'm going to give this a shot, actually the reason I asked this is because I used to use Ctyl-a a lot [04:38] like a year ago [04:38] d'oh [04:38] and I forgot how to go about doing this methodology etc [04:38] damion: that is a pipe. above enter key on most keyboards [04:39] | [04:39] that...hmm ive never even noticed that. [04:39] its called a pipe? [04:39] mike45094: you can define the command key to be something other than Ctrl-a. [04:39] yeah, and it works just like a real one, damion [04:40] how can i tell what apt upgraded on the last upgrade i ran? [04:40] im trying to figure out how the omputer would interpret it....like a switch or something? [04:40] how do you name a session? [04:40] at least i know what it is now [04:40] thanks [04:40] I thought you could name a screen session with -S ? [04:40] not child sessions though? [04:41] I have a very strange issue. I have an NEC laptop, and when I press the key (US Keyboard) that has | and \ on it, it instead shows me < and > [04:41] Any idea how to fix this, anyone? [04:41] for example I want to do `screen vi README.txt` and have the session be called either... ReadMe.txt or TXT while I'm flipping through my screen sessions [04:41] mike45094: you can name screen windows with "Ctrl-a A" [04:42] that seems like a bit much [04:42] is there any other way to do that like on execute [04:42] I would like to write a script, that's why I'm asking [04:43] damion, linux commands take input from something called standard input, and send their output to standard output. The pipe routes the output of one program into the input of another. [04:44] or you can invoke new commands on the screen command line (C-a :). there you can give a command like "screen -t Readme.txt vi README.txt". [04:44] -t eh? [04:45] screen -t test sh [04:45] anyone know of a good alternative to the gnome start menu [04:45] mike45094: the above seems to work in my current screen session. [04:46] so in the example i put [04:46] lspci | grep -i -E wireless\|ethernet [04:46] where would that "output' end up? [04:46] damion: On the screen [04:47] oh [04:47] how do i run a program (command line) in the background? [04:47] damion, Unless otherwise specified the keyboard is the input, and the screen is output [04:47] samd: & or screen [04:48] linxeh-> & didnt worked as the program keeps sending output, ill try screen [04:48] samd: its still in the background [04:48] whats the safest way to have the option to choose between xfce and fluxbux, fluxbox installed second [04:48] cna anyone help me get wireless networks ungreyed. [04:48] damion, you can also send the output to a file using > [04:48] > then filename? [04:48] damion, exactly. [04:49] linxeh-> if i did ./prog &,,, and i contrl-C it, is it still runing? [04:49] samd: yes, because you ctrl-c the shell, not your program [04:49] samd: program & disown [04:49] i typed > example.txt [04:49] samd: check ps -ef etc [04:49] nothing happened [04:49] linxeh-> ahhhh nice , didnt knew that, thanks [04:49] bastid_raZor-> ight, tanks [04:50] damion, you can do stuff like ls | sort >example.txt and it will create a file called example.txt consisting of a sorted list of your directory. [04:50] Hey, will my installation work fine if I remove the Ubuntu-desktop? I just want to uninstall the Open office stuff. [04:51] linxeh-> i see it under ps -ef, thanks [04:51] Without removing gnome. [04:51] linxeh-> what happens if i logout? [04:51] and where would that file end up? on my desktop? [04:51] dsnyders, sorry ran in to some problems every time i try to copy my 4.3gb file it says its stalled so i tried pinging google while i did as a sort of keep alive and it gives a error on the ping "no buffer space available" im guessing its copying to fast is there some way i can fix that ? [04:52] damion, cat wordlist|sort|uniq|wc would print a count of the unique words in the file. [04:52] ok as a preface i have an nvidia card installed on my LP running the xorg config driver and i want to use two screens both as seperate x screens however when the driver tries to save to the xorg.config.backup to enable two x screens it cannot i tried rm on the old file and now it says i can't make a new one any ideas? [04:52] bastid_raZor-> what does disown do?? makes it run even if i logout? [04:52] my wireless is working again [04:52] woot [04:52] samd: with a & process it will likely die; with screen it will carry on === s is now known as Guest20509 [04:52] samd: generally screen is a better solution [04:52] damion, it would place the file in the directory that you ran the command from. [04:52] linxeh-> i see, ill go for screen then, thanks [04:53] scatterp, either that or the destination is out of space. [04:53] samd: no, disowns it from the terminal window [04:53] GLG: in terminal type gksudo nvidia-settings. then you can save settings [04:53] destination has tons of space remember i cant ping google when i stall... [04:53] bastid_raZor-> alright thanks [04:53] <_Trinity_> hey all [04:53] dsnyders, destination has tons of space remember i cant ping google when i stall... [04:53] !hi | _Trinity_ [04:53] _Trinity_: 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! [04:54] <_Trinity_> say what does ubuntu list pendrives under /dev/ as? I don't see a sd* listing [04:54] hello i am trying to backup my 1.5TB drive, i just dragged and dropped the directories into the new drive, will this copy over my files marked as hidden as well? [04:54] _Trinity_: if they are mounted, you can see them easily with command "mount" - it will show the device names in /dev for you [04:54] dsnyders, is there a way to dramaticly increase the buffer space or to make it go slower ? [04:54] _Trinity_, removable disks are usually mounted under /media automatically. [04:55] Ubuntu uses Xorg correct? [04:55] scatterp, If it's not that, I don't know what to suggest. [04:55] saru: if you're running the gui, then yes [04:56] <_Trinity_> dsnyders: not mine [04:56] dsnyders, how can i convert my file.tgz in to a split archive that windows could recombine ? [04:56] ok thanks, I need to look to make sure its running in OpenGL or not. [04:57] anyway to change my intro music on 8.10 ? === ecanto is now known as ecanto-afk [04:57] <_Trinity_> ls /media --> cdrom cdrom0 non of which are my pendrive [04:57] saru: run "glxinfo | grep rendering" if it shows "yes" then you're good [04:57] legend2440: ok i saved it now i still can't apply the crt x screen [04:57] _Trinity_: is the pen drive formatted? [04:57] _Trinity_: does it show up in the output of 'mount' command? [04:57] does anyone else have this issue http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=622057#p622057 [04:58] <_Trinity_> sure is [04:58] it says yes [04:59] saru: so that means you have 3d accel enabled... [04:59] do you need opengl to run Compiz? [04:59] No, composite [04:59] i noticed when i ran Wine yesterday with World of Warcraft it ran really slow framerate wise and im trying to figure out why. [04:59] saru: well, you should look up what the optimal settings are for your video card and driver... [05:00] hi folks [05:00] I have a problem [05:00] this is a generic laptop =o) [05:00] !ask | ceacro [05:00] ceacro: 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. :-) [05:00] <_Trinity_> nanotube: what am I looking for there? [05:00] with my wire RJ 45 [05:00] ethernet [05:00] i [05:00] _Trinity_: looking for where? :) [05:00] runs WoW under Windows XP Pro "okay" [05:00] ubuntu does not recognize it [05:00] <_Trinity_> nanotube: wunder the output of "mount"? [05:01] mad wifi [05:01] <_Trinity_> I see my partitions and a few otehr things I can't make out [05:01] it recognizes my 3GSM usb modem and wireless [05:01] _Trinity_: pastebin your mount output [05:01] _Trinity_: also, pastebin your output of "sudo fdisk -l" (will list all disks, even if they're not mounted) [05:01] but does not identify the wire ethernet conection [05:02] why is wrong with the conection? [05:02] ceacro, what is it connected to? [05:03] does any1 know why i can't apply my x screen settings i saved them to /etc/X11/ and toggled some other stuff and i can't add my second screen as another x screen [05:03] I have a wire connection that ubuntu does not recognize. [05:03] it is a atheros wire card [05:03] I have a 17'' syncmaster crt monitor.. and soon after I installed ubuntu on my machine.. i've noticed that the monitor has begun to flicker insanely... what could be the problem and how can i resolve it? its almost impossible to look at the screen [05:04] solarisBoy: yes in system > preferences > sound > sounds you can change it but it has to be in .wav format and not to long maybe 10 seconds or so to work [05:04] ceacro, does it show up if you issue an ifconfig command. [05:04] GLC, you tried gksudo gedet /etc/X11/xorg.conf? [05:04] I'm trying to resurrect an old PC (Celeron 733 MHz, 256MB RAM, 20GB HDD). But I cannot format my HDD with the ext3 filesystem. What could possibly be wrong? [05:04] cool .. i was there but it appears i dont get the option to change,, was wondering do i need like sudo privs? [05:04] gedit [05:04] saru: You need opengl.. specifically you need drivers supporting the GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap extension enabled and working with hardware rendering [05:04] but I see a lot of codes [05:04] hey guys [05:04] what should i add to the xorg.conf? [05:05] I tried with fconfig [05:05] mo0nykit, have you partitioned the disk as ext3? [05:05] ceacro, ifconfig [05:05] ifconfig [05:05] yeah [05:05] hi where i can suggest an idea for ubuntu 10.4 [05:05] it shows a lot of codes I am not able to understand [05:05] savages [05:06] solarisBoy: on the login sound you should be able to click it and edit it without sudo [05:06] I gotta problem I installed Windows 7 and now I lost my Ubuntu its still there.. but how do I get multi boot screen up ???? Help please [05:06] dsnyders, yup, i had it partitioned already. My first attempt was with the Minimal CD. When I got to the "write partition changes to disk", partitioning crashes at around 33% [05:06] ok let me try again [05:06] <^mNotIntelligent> hello everyone ! [05:06] <_Trinity_> .

I'm gonna check the link guys.. thx 1000000000000000000 [05:07] <^mNotIntelligent> lightness, add virtual box repo and use apt-get [05:07] hi [05:07] _Trinity_: does 'sudo fdisk -l' show the drive? [05:08] Nemesis1911,do you have a live cd? [05:08] 呵呵 [05:08] dsnyders, yup, that's my main suspicion :( I even tried DamnSmallLinux, crashing at random points, throwing segmentation fault errors [05:08] <^mNotIntelligent> lightness, can't you use apt-get [05:08] _Trinity_: ok, so the mount output only shows your / and /home partitions (everything else is system cruft that's irrelevant to the present discussion). how about fdisk -l ? [05:08] my [05:08] yinlong.. have a gparted usb flash [05:09] ^mNotIntelligent tried apt-get but didnt work: couldnt find it === c is now known as Guest42982 [05:09] <^mNotIntelligent> lightness, coool, then do it manually using dpkg [05:09] what Can I do, my ethernet driver does not work [05:09] yinlong: I have a live cd.. [05:09] 11 [05:09] <^mNotIntelligent> lightness, seems you installed it manually, right? [05:09] ^mNotIntelligent ok what is that? [05:09] Nemesis1911,so you can use the command "grub" as root [05:09] ceacro: whats your ethernet interface? [05:09] ^mNotIntelligent right [05:09] i'm in WINDOWS [05:10] ceacro: can you try 'sudo ethtool ' and see what it says [05:10] <^mNotIntelligent> lightness, dpkg -r virtualbox-3 ...something like this prefix sudo if required [05:10] it is a RJ45 wire with an Atheros fast Ethernet [05:10] Nemesis1911,you are in windows?well,so you have to reboot into your live cd [05:10] right.. i meant the label.. [05:10] <^mNotIntelligent> lightness, does that make sense? [05:11] can any one help me i am using konqueror to try to copy some files 3gb/12gb/20gb and each time i get an error stalled and i become offline i have tried to ping google mean while to monitor the situation and i have seen an error from ping that says out of buffer space can any one help ? [05:11] is it eth0? if so try running ethtool on it [05:11] ^mNotIntelligent what this command exacly does? [05:11] what do you mean by live CD yinlong? [05:11] yeah, [05:11] sudo ethtool eth0 [05:11] <^mNotIntelligent> lightness, it erases/removes the packages manually... [05:11] ok, I will try, wait [05:11] you can connect to me in your live CD. [05:12] did anyone have such issues with ubuntu? [05:12] can any one look at the issue? [05:12] <_Trinity_> nanotube: fdisk -l is here http://pastebin.com/m1817ab53 [05:12] <^mNotIntelligent> lightness, keep in mind its not going to remove other dependencies...so avoid using this manual technique as far as possible..use apt-get [05:12] live cd?

Especially useful for testing your hardware's compatibility, it also includes an install option. [05:12] ^mNotIntelligent ill give it try and then get back to you thnx [05:12] _Trinity_: its not there [05:12] only one drive i see [05:12] ohh ok and when I boot up with the UBUNRU cd what do I do [05:12] ^mNotIntelligent: I have a 17'' syncmaster crt monitor.. and soon after I installed ubuntu on my machine.. i've noticed that the monitor has begun to flicker insanely... what could be the problem and how can i resolve it? its almost impossible to look at the screen [05:12] it says there is not such a device [05:12] Nemesis1911,do you really have a live CD?

[05:13] _Trinity_: when you plug in the drive,, what output do you get in dmesg? [05:13] _Trinity_: well, there's only one disk showing in fdisk -l - so your usb stick is not being seen by the system at all... [05:13] <^mNotIntelligent> wrapster, its flickering too much...okey....wait a min [05:13] ^mNotIntelligent probs? [05:13] use the command "grub" as root [05:14] <_Trinity_> nanotube: yes I thought so [05:14] <^mNotIntelligent> nevermind [05:14] wrapster: try to change the refresh rate you should have a display settings in your menu [05:14] ^mNotIntelligent: too much as in the case of a drunken maniac!!!! trying to drive a car [05:14] its that bad [05:14] _Trinity_: is the usb stick plugged in? are you plugging it in directly, or through a usb hub? also, as solarisBoy says, check your system log for any interesting messages when you plug in your stick. [05:14] _Trinity_: unplug the drive run "tail -f /var/log/messages &" and plug it back in [05:14] <_Trinity_> but there is a command I can't think of right now where something shows up a Kisngston and it's not ram [05:14] <^mNotIntelligent> wrapster, must be monitor refresh rate issue...change thta [05:14] Nemesis1911,do you know which partition your boot partition is? [05:14] ceacro: has the card ever worked? [05:15] _Trinity_, are you thinking of lsusb? [05:15] ext3 [05:15] yeah, with kuki linux [05:15] with windows xp [05:15] <_Trinity_> the usb stick is plugged into my keyboard [05:15] hmm [05:15] ctmjr: i did open it up but it says "it appears your graphics drivers are not supported" [05:15] _Trinity_: is that usb drive recognized? [05:15] ctmjr: im have a nvdia 8series [05:15] slot rather [05:15] that is not supported>? [05:15] <^mNotIntelligent> wrapster, put your h/w details... [05:15] <_Trinity_> dsnyders: yes [05:15] Nemesis1911,i mean how many partitions are there in your HD? [05:15] wrapster, which graphics card do you have? [05:16] 3 [05:16] yinlong : sorry 2 [05:16] <_Trinity_> dsnyders: Bus 001 Device 005: ID 13fe:1a20 Kingston Technology Company Inc. [05:16] _Trinity_: try "lsusb" command, too. [05:16] _Trinity_, Try plugging the usb into the machine directly. I've had problems in the past with keyboard usb slots not having enough power [05:16] i agree with dsnyders [05:16] yinlong: 1 ntfs .. and one for ubuntu [05:16] dsnyders: heh, you beat me on the lsusb, then. [05:16] Nemesis1911,only two?oh,ok [05:17] thiebaude: nvidia geforce 8 series [05:17] wrapster: what does system > administration > hardware drivers show? [05:17] _Trinity_: as they say, try plugging it in directly - that was the reason i asked you earlier if it's plugged in directly or through a hub. :) [05:17] wrapster, my bad, i seen that earlier [05:17] yinlong: so how do I get back into Ubuntu cuz windows is killig me [05:17] <_Trinity_> nanotube: I got something [05:17] * thiebaude time to get coffee [05:17] ceacro: whats the exact name of your card?

[05:19] _Trinity_: is that when you plug in through the keyboard? or when directly? [05:19] yeah [05:19] hmm [05:19] it is a netbook [05:19] Nemesis1911,frist,as i told you ,use the command "grub" int ubuntu as root.

(unless google turns up something interesting) [05:20] ok [05:20] I am working now in my 3GSM usb modem [05:21] i see [05:21] Hello #ubuntu, please help me get my microphone to work!

[05:22] <_Trinity_> I'm going to try it directly [05:22] _Trinity_: so, if you have any usb ports on the machine itself, plug directly [05:23] _Trinity_: yea :) [05:23] it recognizes everything but ethernet [05:23] my wireless works like charm [05:23] Nemesis1911,thridly,use "setup (hd0)" [05:23] <_Trinity_> lsusb lists it as a Kinston device again [05:24] <_Trinity_> now that it's plugged straight into the mac [05:24] * ^mNotIntelligent lemme have some coffee [05:24] can any one help me i am using konqueror to try to copy some files 3gb/12gb/20gb and each time i get an error stalled and i become offline i have tried to ping google mean while to monitor the situation and i have seen an error from ping that says out of buffer space can any one help ? or is there a way i can split my file up and recombine it in windows with out damaging it ? [05:24] Nemesis1911,lastly,use "quit".and it's over [05:24] yinlong: ok kew thx dude.. .. yer awsome [05:24] Nemesis1911,clear? [05:24] <^mNotIntelligent> lightness, did you try that? [05:25] * dsnyders holds his cup towards ^mNotIntelligent hopefully [05:25] how do I figure out what graphics drivers Ubuntu installed from the Live CD? [05:25] dsnyders, is there a way to split the file and recombine it in windows with out damaging it (its important data) [05:25] yup grub,,, root (hd0,x) and then setup (hd0) and all done right.. [05:26] saru it's vesa [05:26] scatterp, you could try zipping it. [05:26] ^mNotIntelligent yes and then tried it apt-get remove with the correct name and worked many thanks [05:26] ? [05:26] dsnyders, how do i make it a split zip ? [05:26] <^mNotIntelligent> lightness, cool....you're welcome [05:26] is Vesa just some standard graphics driver? [05:26] dsnyders, like 500mb a piece [05:26] ha . i make my login theme the Xfile intro music [05:26] => [05:26] Nemesis1911,do you know what X in "root (hd0,X)" means?it's the key. [05:26] Hi, [repeating] please help me with my microphone! /dev/audio does give output, but recording via ALSA doesn't work. [05:27] saru: the graphics driver is vesa by default on the live cd [05:27] yinlong: what key? [05:27] scatterp, there's a program called zipsplit which might help. [05:27] is it muted? [05:27] ok [05:27] Nemesis1911,i mean it's IMPORTANT. [05:27] ctmjr, i've already installed Ubuntu onto the system though and wanna figure out what driver my graphics card is using. [05:27] no, sadly not :( I did the alsamixer - unmute everything thing [05:27] hrm dont see it on the repos [05:28] Nemesis1911,do you know the number of your ext3 partition is? [05:28] I get either a faint noise or a loud screeching one, but can't record properly. [05:28] scatterp, or you might try scp/putty and pull it from the windows end instead of pushing it from the linux end. [05:29] dsnyders, i thought of that not sure how to do that.... [05:29] saru: that is not what you asked but try this egrep "Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers" /var/log/Xorg.0.log [05:29] yinlong: i'm not sure [05:30] <_Trinity_> nanotube: hey fdisk -l again doesn't show any pendrive disk but the tail -f /var/log/messages & made mention of a sd* [05:30] hi, i downloaded and installed google gadgets (.deb) in my ubuntu 9.04 ...but it is having only few gadgets.

[05:31] Nemesis1911,if you are not sure,you can try the "X" from 0 to 1 now that there are only two partitons in all. [05:31] <_Trinity_> sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/pendrive [05:31] <_Trinity_> did work [05:31] <_Trinity_> thanks guys [05:31] legend2440: thanks, I'll try that [05:31] saru: it is loading the intel driver [05:31] _Trinity_: glad it worked out :) [05:31] when i try to install amarok im getting the error [05:31] Failed to fetch cdrom://Ubuntu 9.04 _Jaunty Jackalope_ [05:31] ctmjr, i guess so, after i typed that in it spit me back into the command prompt [05:32] !dpkg [05:32] dpkg is the Debian package maintenance system, which together with apt forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. [05:32] Berzerker: err.. no? [05:32] <_Trinity_> nanotube: thanks to you and other that pitched in [05:32] _Trinity_: yw :) [05:32] do i need to start some kinda scp server here in linux i found a client in windows ? [05:33] scp server is sshd [05:33] How can I get my pictures from my blackberry onto Ubuntu [05:33] hi, i downloaded and installed google gadgets (.deb) in my ubuntu 9.04 ...but it is having only few gadgets. How can i add more gadgets to it? [05:33] saru: that is what it should do it just finds the driver line in the log and prints it to the screen [05:33] if thats running ur windows client should only need to connect to ssh [05:34] nanotube: mine is just stuck on connecting for all add-ons I try to download [05:35] saru: are you having problems with it or just wanting to know what the driver was? [05:35] well im having frame rate issues with World of Warcraft while using Wine [05:35] Berzerker: hrm, just tried, works for me... try going to the website addons.mozilla.org, and installing through there, instead of using the panel - maybe that will work for you [05:35] the settings in the game are turned all day to really low. [05:35] nanotube: wasn't working for me either. === jesse_ is now known as Guest21814 [05:36] i ran grep rendering and it came back as "yes" so i know OpenGL is working [05:36] Berzerker: the website wasn't working? [05:36] but im thinking maybe im missing some sort of extra driver to make things run better [05:36] nanotube: no the website worked, but I still couldn't install anything, btw do you know how to fix the "choose an application" when clicking on "open containing folder" in firefox [05:37] ctmjr, i just checked the package manager and it says im running xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.6.3-0ubuntu9.3 [05:37] saru: are you on jaunty? [05:37] Berzerker: when you say "couldn't install anything" - what happened? did you get some error message, or what? [05:38] don't know what Jaunty is... [05:38] nanotube: nope, just sits at Connecting to releases.mozilla.org.... [05:38] Berzerker: also, no, never ran into that problem... for open containing folder. [05:38] saru: what ubuntu distro are you using [05:38] saru, which graphics card do you have? [05:38] Berzerker: that's weird, it shouldn't be connecting to 'releases.mozilla.org', but to 'addons.mozilla.org' [05:39] thiebaude, i am trying to figure that out to make sure i have or need to get the correct drivers for it [05:39] Berzerker: or are you trying to upgrade the browser itself? [05:39] no [05:39] I'm trying to install addons [05:39] im running Ubuntu 9.04 i believe [05:39] I go to addons.mozilla.org, search for adblock plus [05:39] saru: "Jaunty" is a prticular Ubuntu version (9.04) command: lsb_release -a tells what version you have [05:39] click add to firefox, and sits at connecting [05:39] ok this is becoming irritating i can't apply the xorg.conf settings unless i save and reset the server but when i reset it resets to before i saved grrrrrrrr [05:39] im running what ever version came from ubuntu.org [05:39] i just hit download and got the iso =o) [05:40] !intel | saru see if this helps [05:40] saru see if this helps: Ubuntu 9.04 has a known regression for some Intel graphics support. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/IntelPerformance and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1130582 for more information. === torroella is now known as n-iCe [05:40] Berzerker: ah yes i see it does connect to releases.moz in the process... but it works just fine for me. don't know what could be causing your problem... [05:40] nanotube: everything else internet related is working fine [05:40] saru, if you have intel 810 or 815 you will def have problems [05:41] thiebaude, why do you say that? [05:41] Berzerker: strange... as a workaround, you could try going to adblockplus.org directly, downloading the latest .xpi from there to your hd, then installing it by opening it from firefox. [05:41] thiebaude, the sticker says X3100 [05:41] !intel | saru [05:41] saru: Ubuntu 9.04 has a known regression for some Intel graphics support.

[05:42] nanotube: yeah, I also realized I'm on 3.0.14, and should be on 3.5 [05:42] thiebaude, maybe a few years old... its one of those from like Office Max etc. Was given to me as a gift [05:42] nanotube: well I believe I should be using 3.5, because I like it better. [05:42] question for yall: how do i connect to a server (via an ip address) on linux (xubuntu) [05:42] saru, is it a dell? === |chrisrio| is now known as chrisrio [05:42] its a Aspire 5720z model [05:42] Acer [05:42] ok [05:42] "crappy laptop" in my opinion [05:42] good moaning :) [05:42] saru: try this lspci | grep -i vga [05:43] its giving me Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller [05:43] question for yall: how do i connect to a server (via an ip address) on linux (xubuntu [05:43] saru: I have the graphics chip [05:44] *same [05:44] kevin|demarest, do you use Wine and run WoW with it? [05:44] saru: no [05:44] i am having frame rate issues with this card or setup for some reason i just installed this OS yesterday [05:45] saru: compiz doesn't even run, I don't have any hope for WoW working very well on this card [05:45] Help plz? [05:45] Thanks to legend2440, my mic now works, yay! But there's a loud background noise and I can't get rid of it by playing with the volume controls. Is there any sort of filter I could apply to sound recording, like the "Noise Removal" Effect in Audacious? [05:45] saru: correction, it runs, but it locks up [05:45] compiz seems to run fine for me... [05:46] saru: maybe we don't have the exact same chip [05:46] can some one help meee? [05:46] Berzerker: well, you could try using ubuntuzilla to get the official mozilla build of ff 3.5 [05:46] saru: I have a toshiba u305-s7448 [05:46] servo: what protocol? ssh? [05:46] nanotube: ubuntuzilla? [05:46] servo: i do not know much about it but i believe it is ssh -C name@ip address [05:46] smb [05:46] i've got the Acer Aspire 5720z [05:46] kevin | demarest , does your X freeze up [05:46] thx ctmjr ill try it [05:46] !karmic [05:46] Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 29th, 2009 - Karmic WILL break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [05:46] thiebaude: yeah [05:46] but on their website it does not specify what chip is really inside the laptop [05:47] nanotube: but firefox won't update 3.0* to 3.5* [05:47] thiebaude: I have the ppa for new intel drivers, which actually got compiz to work at all. I'm running Jaunty [05:47] thats why im curious to know if Ubuntu just installed some default driver verse the correct driver. [05:47] nanotube: you need to install firefox-3.5 for that [05:47] kevin | demarest, samething for me but i found a fix [05:47] saru: there is only one driver for intel integrated graphics [05:48] saru: different version, but one driver for all chips, from what I understand [05:48] is mine the latest one? [05:48] hey guy. easy question here. i put in a brand new hard drive. 1.5tb i formatted it to ext3. i had to mount it. and now it seems it is read only. i want to have the drive part of ubuntu. i dont want to have to mount it. and of course i was to be able to write to it aswell. any suggestions? [05:48] Berzerker: indeed, hence my suggestion for ubuntuzilla... [05:48] ctmjr, i guess my question would be. can i connect to the files on the server im running on....aka: im sitting on the server [05:49] saru: couldn't say. I'm not sure how the intel video driver works. If I do an lshw there isn't a file that seems to be used for the intel driver. [05:49] hello all! [05:50] nanotube: well I still can't install any add-ons, even after installing 3.5 [05:50] !hello | DesertEagle [05:50] DesertEagle: 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! [05:50] God, I shouldn't use that greeting. Hello DesertEagle [05:50] could someone explain to me why when i open several youtube videos in separate tabs in firefox, my mouse acts up stupid [05:50] Berzerker: try the direct route by getting the xpi [05:50] haha [05:50] nanotube: yeah but there are other add-ons I'd like to install as well [05:50] kevin: your greeting makes sense! :) [05:51] DesertEagle: I can make an educated guess: Too much cpu usage in firefox? === evil is now known as Guest36735 [05:51] can anyone help me out? i asked my question 5 mins ago. should i of formatted the drive to ext2? [05:51] Berzerker: same workaround applies - every addon generally has its own website, and puts up the latest xpi on it. [05:52] kevin: not really, only three tabs, but my mouse will start having right click issues and window focus issues [05:52] (using openbox) [05:52] anyone know any good stock ticker software? [05:52] drhelskt: no, ext3 is just fine. just need to mount it read/write, instead of readonly. [05:52] anyone have issues with the 64 bit versions? [05:52] nanotube: restarting fixed it lol.l [05:52] Berzerker: heh nice [05:52] nanotube: the computer that is [05:52] nanotube. what software package i need to have that done. [05:53] DesertEagle: not familiar with openbox [05:53] servo: your connected to the server and you want to access certain files? [05:53] drhelskt: is that an internal disk, or usb? [05:54] hmm with WoW im getting like 1.4 FPS [05:54] i even turned off compiz [05:54] !wow [05:54] Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php [05:54] internal. sata. brand new. freashly formatted to ext3. (can i format to ext4) [05:55] drhelskt: well, then you just need to edit your fstab and add an entry for that disk and where you want it mounted.

[05:57] nanoany reason to format to ext4? is it better? [05:57] Does anyone know how I can set up a new virtual ALSA capture device that will output/mix-together both my mic and also what comes through the speakers? [05:57] there is just some setting that is not right with either Wine, Xorg... or something.

[05:59] legend2440, im getting around 500 FPS [05:59] ADmiral: are you able to record what the soundcard is playing? [05:59] nope, not even in Windows [05:59] drhelskt: but it has some speed advantages. so... if you're going to just use it as a data dump drive, go for data integrity, i'd say, and stick with ext3 [06:00] I need a software way around the fact I don't have such a device set up by default [06:01] OMG I just got may ubuntu to work again.. after loosing it to a windows 7 install.. how do I multi boot between win7 thats already installed? [06:01] need to add a chainloader line to grub configuration [06:01] ADmiral: here are instructions that worked for me http://paste.ubuntu.com/275051/ [06:01] how do i partition my /home folder without formatting ? [06:02] saru: what graphics card? [06:02] how do I add Windows 7 in the GRUB ?????? [06:02] intel [06:02] legend2440: I remember following similar instructions before, but I'll try them anyways, thanks! [06:03] om26er: Anyhow, the basic idea is.. when it says something like: Depends packagename (>=1.2.3whatever) then the result of: apt-cache policy packagename gives you the candidate's version numbers to use as a specific version to ask it to install, as we did just earlier [06:03] I'm pretty new to Linux, and I'm needing some help getting sound to work. I guess I can't find the correct driver and Ubuntu doesn't recognize that it needs to get one. [06:03] Apologies, wrong channel [06:03] legend2440, lspci tells me Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated graphics controller [06:04] can anyone help me with my multi boot [06:04] !intel | saru [06:04] saru: Ubuntu 9.04 has a known regression for some Intel graphics support.

[06:05] nemesis1911: I've never done it with Win7 but this might help... http://blog.lokonopa.com/grub-up-windows-7/ [06:05] Dave0101: thx I'll check out the link .. ;-) [06:06] please let me know is it advisable to upgrade my ubuntu 8.04 to 8.10 and then to 9.04 i am using a Dell Vostro 1400 laptop with nvidia driver [06:06] i am bit sceptical [06:07] ADmiral, you want to basically first record yourself sing and then you want to record yourself again singing to what you first recorded??? something like that? [06:09] mezquitale: I want to play games and comment on them, then stream the whole thing to someone else. By the way, I also could use a hint on a good live video streaming application ;) [06:09] And I don't want to lose the in-game sounds. [06:09] Anyone who knows... I've recently disabled root over ssh in Ubuntu LTS. I do need an ssh account with permissions to /var/www/. I was told to change ownership on everything to www-data.www-data, despite default owner being root. Should I make a new account, and will adding it to the www-data group give me standard +rw on everything? [06:09] preetam, if it aint broken, dont fix it, i've had BIG issues every since I upgraded and going back to 8.04 didnt help much either so dont upgrade unless you have a good reason [06:09] how do i partition my /home folder without formatting ? [06:10] ctmjr: i did activate the drivers but now once its done.. Do i need to reboot? coz there is no activity in that window.. And when i try to close it... its not responding? [06:10] that is why I am waiting for the 10.04 LTS so that I can directly upgrade to the 10.04 LTS [06:10] chez: you mean move /home to its own partition? [06:10] mezquitale and legend2440: I have now tried the record-from-Mix guide, and I have none of the 3 devices in my alsamixer that the guide claims I "must" have. Setting the Input Source to "Mix" also does nothing. [06:10] wrapster: yes a reboot is needed [06:11] ok will comply and revert [06:11] thanks [06:11] legend2440: i have a 160Gb drive with 6 Gb free space left [06:11] Maybe there's another way to capture the output, let ALSA do it instead of the sound card? there has to be! [06:11] OMG please help :( [06:11] Dave0101: well, the stuff in /var/www better be readable by the user under whose name your webserver is running. [06:11] stupid mosue won't work right [06:12] Dave0101: if you have any dynamic content, writable too. [06:12] ADmiral, if youre going to be commenting on a video format then I don't know how to do that. Audacity does let you record over an existing recording but I never tried doing it over video [06:12] Dave0101: once you have those constraints satisfield - you can do whatever you want. [06:12] nanotube: I just did a ps list and it looks like apache has one proc as root, rest as www-data [06:12] legend2440: i want to make a partition on the drive and then move my home folder their wihtout deleting anything [06:12] nanotube: since doing the chown www-data.www-data, all still serves up properly. [06:13] where is the xorg config located in Ubuntu? [06:13] legend2440, ok thanks, right now I'm trying to mix together mic input and soundcard output, I'll look for a streaming application later. [06:13] nanotube: I guess I'm looking for best practice. Is it to give g+rw on everything and make a new user that's a member of www-data? [06:13] Dave0101: yea, in ubuntu apache runs as www-data user... [06:13] saru: /etc/X11/xorg.conf [06:13] mezquitale: I meant to write that to you, not legend2440 ;) [06:13] chez: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome === [A]KangB is now known as [A]Way [06:14] ctmjr, thank you [06:14] Dave0101: yea, that would be the 'usual' way to do it. nothing wrong with it. [06:14] Does anyone know how to uninstall cij for java, and install the real one? [06:14] nanotube: Good deal. I'll make those changes. Appreciate the help! [06:15] ADmiral, maybe someone in #alsa can help you out, you have to go there earlier though when the gurus are around [06:15] Anyone have experience with a Dell mini 10v and Jaunty or even Hardy for that matter? I'm trying to get the webcam mic to work. I go to /proc/asound/ I have the phone/mic jacks on the side show up as device "Intel" and within that folder there is pcm0c and pcm0p, c meaning capture device and p meaning playback device. Doesnt seem to list a second device for the webcam mic. This probably a kernel support issue? [06:15] ctmjr: excellent it worked.. but i have a slight issue with the screen resolution.. now i have a resolution of 1027x768 earlier i was able to see a much higher resolution.. how may i get the same [06:16] Dave0101: no prob :) [06:16] Bobrobyn: the "real" java is package "sun-java6-jre" (or -jdk), so just install that one. [06:16] mezquitale, and they won't be angry with me for asking an Ubuntu related question, where Ubuntu uses PulseAudio? :) I don't even know how ALSA relates to PulseAudio, but I hope they won't turn me down for off-topic'ing or anything. [06:16] linuxguy2009, ever since pulseaudio made its debut in jaunty configuring a mic is a pain. I was never able to do it that's why Im trying karmic alpha release [06:17] mezquitale: You have a Mini or something simaler you have a mic issue with too? [06:17] ADmiral, the answer is simple. Tell them youre using jaunty and are having serious issues. You dont want to use pulseaudio, you want to use ALSA. Tell them what you want to do and if someone is around they will guide you through the process [06:17] HI ALL [06:18] wrapster: you should have a program in the menu called nvidia xserver settings look in system > preferences [06:18] nanotube, thanks. [06:18] mezquitale: Thank you very much, I'll try it either way, right now, even if the gurus might not be around. [06:18] linuxguy2009, no, I have a Dell Laptop and the mic used to work fine with 8.10. I wanted to try jaunty and now I realize the mistake I made, it's too late to fix it so I just move on [06:18] does ubuntu set a default root passwod? [06:18] Bobrobyn: np :) [06:18] !root | saru [06:18] saru: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [06:19] mezquitale: Right. Im downloading 9.10 Alpha 6 to see if it works in that. Crossing my fingers. Plus I can help report bugs so thats a good thing too. [06:19] ubottu: Ha! [06:19] Sorry, I don't know anything about Ha! [06:19] doh [06:20] Dave0101: ubottu is a bot :P [06:20] I see that now. :) [06:20] ctmjr: yes i've opened it up [06:20] saru: no if you want root terminal type sudo -i in terminal. if you are editing xorg.conf then type gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [06:20] I should have guess, that's clearly too witty for off-the-cuff! [06:20] linuxguy2009, if youre going to download Alpha6 then you might as well try ubuntustudio, that's what it's for and it's got plenty of already configured applications [06:20] hey im trying to get my wifi to work with ubuntu.linux 9.04 but having trouble. help some1? [06:20] wrapster: you can change the settings in there [06:21] Dave0101: hehe so i should try to avoid being too witty, or else people will think i'm a bot? i'm not sure i'm liking the sound of that. :) [06:21] Casper1, what error are you getting?? are you using the network applet? [06:21] Right. What do they call it... a turing test? [06:22] yes im using the network applet [06:22] yesterday [06:22] i tried to get it to work [06:22] legend2440, thank you it helped me :) [06:22] i could connect but i couldnt get on the internet, and today i cant even detect the connection [06:22] Dave0101: indeed. [06:23] how do i go about restarting my X without logging off just Ctrl Alt Backspace? [06:23] saru: you may want to backup old xorg.conf first in case anything goes wrong [06:23] ctmjr: yes i changed that.. but i noticed that if i go any higher than 1024x768 it starts to flicker again. [06:23] but at that resolution its perfect [06:23] hi budd [06:23] legend2440, i did :) [06:23] is it the same as other distro's to restart it, ctrl alt backspace? [06:23] wrapster: can you change the refresh rate make it higher? [06:24] !dontzap | saru [06:24] saru: 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. [06:24] Casper1, you might want to check if the wireless is actually on. Type "iwconfig" and you should see a little more detail on the configuration [06:24] saru: i recall there being some talk about disabling ctl-alt-bksp... try it, if it doesn't work, just ctl-alt-f2 to a vty, and run "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart" [06:24] how i lock the folders in ubuntu? [06:24] saru: in jaunty ctrl alt backspace has been disabled [06:24] says no wireless conections [06:24] Casper1, are you on the wireless router now and with your laptop in front of you? [06:25] legend2440, so how do you normally restart your X manager? [06:25] !zap [06:25] Sorry, I don't know anything about zap [06:25] no im using my modem right now [06:25] !dontzap [06:25] 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. [06:25] legend2440: alt-sysrq-k ? wtf? in what way is that better than ctl-alt-bs ? [06:25] is there anybody there? [06:25] mamooli: where? [06:25] saru : how i lock the folders in ubuntu? [06:25] yes [06:26] nanotube-> thats been around since forever, people are just no aware of it [06:26] mamooli: ur soo mamooli [06:26] ctmjr: ok did it.. thanks [06:26] not* [06:26] nanotube: its not better. i dont think they should have disabled ctrl alt backspace [06:26] heloo, look i have installed and uninstalled several times apche but when i reinstall it again it says not found when i type localhost [06:26] does anyone know how i can turn off asking for user/pass on boot up screen [06:27] hi [06:27] zoopie: automatic login?

[06:27] nano tube: how i lock the files and folders in ubuntu? [06:27] hi [06:27] is there anyone who can help? [06:27] Hi Roomies DOES ANYONE TESTED KARMIC KOALA alpha 5 beta [06:28] glicks-> just look under /boot for the config files [06:28] guru_: #ubuntu+1 for Karmic questions, thanks.

[06:29] Casper1, it's going to be a little difficult diagnosing the problem when you dont have the actual devices in front of you. This is what I suggest you do. 1. Configure your router temporarily with no security. 2. configure your wireless NIC in your laptop to use the wireless conection from your router. 3. If it works then add encryption to your router and configure your nic in your laptop and see if youre able to connect [06:29] legend2440: hm, i don't think so either... [06:29] mamooli-> i dont think localhost is a command [06:29] n8tuser: hmm interesting. well... at least they didn't disable both of them. :) [06:29] sorry mamoli am not got at that [06:29] mamooli: you mean, you open a browser and navigate to "localhost", right? [06:29] zoopie: u there [06:29] n8tuser: i mean i type it in browser's address bar [06:29] oh i missunderstood. I have all the stuff in front of me im just hooked up to the modem right now. and i tried that already. doesnt work [06:30] nanotube: yes [06:30] mamooli: Does: 127.0.0.1 work? [06:30] mamooli-> look in your /etc/hosts file if that is defined [06:30] Can anybody tell how i work with md5 crypt.. for asking password while i am try to edit my grub lines before booting? [06:30] look i dont have /etc/hosts [06:30] mamooli-> you need one [06:30] !bye [06:30] Au revoir! [06:30] zoopie: sudo gedit /etc/gdm/custom.conf [06:31] mamooli-> if you dont have one, sudo or other system tools may not even work [06:31] wait [06:32] can i setup ubuntu at home as a web proxy? international internet charges are way too expensive here at work [06:32] using xp with putty (ssh) [06:33] m0RrE: Squid [06:33] m0RrE: havent used it personally but its proxy software [06:35] dave0101: thx GRUB works fine now with Win7 [06:35] Hi. I just installed the glipper clipboard manager, but i can't find it in any of my menus to run it. typing "glipper" in shell doesn't work. [06:35] n8tuser: i have that file it was hidden [06:35] n8tuser: what should i check inside? [06:36] mamooli-> pastebin the results [06:36] ok [06:36] Hey guys how would I make a lets say download folder that both ubuntu and windows 7 could see and use? [06:37] nemesis1911: windows can read/write ext3 if you install a driver [06:37] Hello, I'm back again. I'm having trouble with my ~/.bashrc file not loading upon login, but if I type "bash" at the command prompt, everything loads as expected. Any ideas? [06:37] Ben6: how [06:37] how to im someone? [06:37] how do i [06:37] n8tuser: i dont know what these rats have done with pastebin, it doesnt load [06:38] can send them to you in private? [06:38] =@ rats !!! [06:38] can i install .exe on ubuntu 9 [06:38] with wine yes [06:38] nemesis1911: http://www.fs-driver.org/ [06:38] mamooli-> okay just this time [06:38] administrator_: depends what exe [06:38] that too [06:38] Ben64: thx dude ;-) I love this ROOM!!! [06:39] Specifically, I have some custom software installed that needs $PATH to be updated, but it won't make the changes [06:39] I think i know now, make a sock tunnel [06:39] programm which runs on xp [06:39] !love [06:39] Love is like racing across the frozen tundra on a snowmobile which flips over, trapping you underneath. At night, the ice-weasels come. [06:40] administrator_: like i said, depends on what, not everything works [06:40] wine has an xp mode still depends which exe it is and if supported by wine [06:40] nemesis1911: see my pm, also that driver might not work with Windows 7 [06:40] if it works on vista, it works on 7 [06:41] hi [06:42] Looking for the most polished eye Candy Linux distro out there. From the looks of it Im obviuntously looking for a distro packaged with KDE. Currently its a tie between LinuxMint KDE and Kubuntu. Any suggestions? [06:42] A + tranining program it has come with .exe so how i install it on ubuntu [06:43] LucidGuy: It's a bit offtopic for #ubuntu, but I've heard that opensuse is where most of the KDE4 development occurs. Try that [06:43] n8tuser: u think i have to reinstall ubuntu? [06:43] mamooli go ahead, so you can learn [06:44] how can I make Ubuntu load to System RAM, and boot from its system RAM copy at boot? [06:45] trakcyia-> where did you learn about that? [06:45] well, some liveCD's do it to give the user cdrom use [06:45] i want it for different reasons [06:45] trakcyia: do you realize that system ram gets erased every time you turn the computer off? [06:45] yes thats why i want it [06:45] trakcyia: What you're doing is pretty complicated, but it would probably be possible with ramfs [06:45] i restore my backup three times a week [06:46] i would do it more times per week if i wasnt so lazy to boot the rescue cd [06:46] if it could happen automagically, that would be heaven [06:46] not to mention, fast [06:46] trakcyia-> reread the tutorial where you learned it from, im sure it has more details [06:46] n8tuser there was no howto, i just know the rescue cd i use, it loads itself to system RAM, then boots [06:46] trakcyia: having memory erased won't help, the feds can still get you [06:47] ben64, its about speed, and clutter [06:47] trakcyia-> your clue would be ramfs, so look for a tutorial on this [06:47] n8tuser will do [06:48] trakcyia: do you use partimage or something else? [06:48] clonezilla, because partimage does not work with my ACHI drive [06:48] and clonezilla crashes grub if i dont use it in 'expert mode' and disable mbr related stuff [06:49] Any support for middle button of three-button mouse? [06:50] mark92691: should "just work" [06:50] Mouse middle button doesn't work at all on my system. Pressing it has no effect. [06:50] For whoever was asking about how to dial-in to their ubuntu box and then use it's internet connection, may want to look at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=150339 but instead of the modifications to /etc/inittab, make the changes suggested for that file into one of the tty# entries in /etc/event.d [06:50] well what situation are you using it in [06:50] in firefox, should open a link in a new tab [06:51] in terminal, should paste [06:51] With Firefox, trying to scroll (as it does in Windoze). [06:51] middle button scroll? or is it a wheel? [06:51] trakcyia: ok i asked because i have a script that runs partimage by selecting it from the grub menu list at boot. no need to load rescue cd [06:51] It's a button; an old three-button mouse. [06:51] mark92691: try clicking a link in firefox with it [06:52] What does the "Upstream version" column mean in launchpad, e.g. on https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt ? [06:52] Worked [06:52] (let me know if there is somewhere else I should ask this) [06:52] mark92691, make sure you have autoscrolling enabled in firefox, you can find it in Edit > Preferences > Advanced [06:52] legend2440 it should be modifiable, the entire clonezilla operation can be run in a single line [06:52] so... the middle button works, you just want it to bring up that scrolly thing [06:52] legend2440 i plan on doing something with puppy similar to that [06:53] Fixed. Thank you. [06:53] I was looking for an Ubuntu setting; didn't realize I needed a Firefox setting. :) [06:53] Thanks to both of you. [06:54] here someone already had the idea im looking at, but even better [06:54] instead of waiting for files to be loaded, it loads them to ram, but not stuff in your /home directory. [06:54] So using the ram to cache entire programs, and the entire OS, and only using the harddisk to save stuff back onto when they change. Its a good idea. [06:54] best of both worlds it seems, assuming there is available ram space [06:55] how do i disable the "linux firewall? [06:55] hello [06:55] just was update and it says linux image file is not fount on the repo [06:57] whats the command to display space available in pwd [06:58] hey.. pls somebody tell me.. how to forward my ip ports from my router to my irc ports? my modem is Surecom 9600 [06:58] U8untu, why would you want them pointed at ur irc ports?

[08:41] sorry mneptok [08:41] mneptok do you know how to get sound working correctly with 9.04? [08:41] which network manager do you mean? [08:41] iolion: yes, buy the same laptop i have :P [08:41] :/ [08:41] iolion: killal pulseaudio; alsomixer -Dhw then bring the volumes all the way up [08:41] Adola: Assuming network manager is already installed, then running 'nm-applet' should give you the applet. [08:41] Casper1: does your wireless SSID show up in NetworkManager? [08:42] !sound | iolion (this is a good place to start) [08:42] iolion (this is a good place to start): If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [08:42] whats the ssid? [08:42] Why does output such as THIS: http://pastebin.com/d696025c --- Not go to STDERR but instead to the terminal directly!?! It's hell of annoying if you can't pipe the error to less and stuff? Is that a nasty ubuntu thing?? [08:42] Casper1: your WAP's name [08:42] killal pulseaudio; alsomixer -Dhw are those commands Casper1? [08:42] oh no it doesnt [08:42] yes [08:42] the ; seperates commands [08:43] iolion: "alsamixer" [08:43] alsamixer tho make sure you get that part right [08:43] Casper1: do any SSIDs appear? [08:43] no [08:43] ManDay: command > file.log 2>&1 [08:43] still not working [08:43] usually there are 2 not including my router [08:44] Gnea, it's NOT working! [08:44] because the error is NOT send to stderr! [08:44] iolion: i had the same problem, but that worked for me. just search the forums for hours like i did. GL! [08:44] I tried every possible variation [08:44] ManDay: what's the command? === loki_ is now known as loki_666 [08:44] ./a.out [08:44] ManDay: The order is important. If 2>&1 is before >file.log, then stderr will be sent to the terminal [08:44] Casper1: pastebin the output of "ifconfig" [08:44] ok hold on [08:44] sup b0t [08:45] ok, geirha what would be the syntax for piping it into less instead of redirecting into file then? [08:45] ManDay: well, the way I just showed you should put it all to the logfile [08:45] Does anyone know why compiz would be segfaulting? It seems to be something to do with having firefox open. [08:45] ManDay: then you can less the file.log [08:45] casper: hmm [08:45] i want to pipe it to less Gnea [08:45] ok [08:45] ManDay: ./a.out 2>&1 | less [08:45] http://pastebin.com/d67b93dfa [08:45] geirha, i tried that, it does NOT redirect the error! [08:46] ManDay: Try this then: { ./a.out; } 2>&1 | less [08:46] Casper1: is this a laptop or desktop? [08:46] iolion: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1154502 === [NikO] is now known as niko [08:46] mneptok: laptop [08:46] geirha, that doesn't work either [08:46] Casper1: is the a function-key combo to enable or disable wireless? or a hardware switch? [08:47] ManDay: Hm. Then glibc is writing directly to the terminal, not via the shell. [08:47] geirha, I'm telling you, the error is send to the tty directly - there is no way of redirecting it [08:47] ManDay: can you get the output to the logfile using the way I showed you initially? [08:47] That's what I've been saying [08:47] no Gnea i cannot [08:47] mneptok: please explain, im not sure i understand what your asking [08:47] that's weird, because that method ought to do it [08:47] Is that a ubuntu annoyance of std-linux? [08:47] Is it possible to increase the DPI of my screen? [08:47] what? [08:47] Gnea, as geirha said - the error is not send to stderr [08:48] Casper1: look at the keyboard. is there a way to turn wireless on and off using the keyboard? [08:48] *Whether that is ubuntu specific or the same on most distros [08:48] oh haha i checked that already yes it is on [08:48] how do I check my my ram? [08:48] ManDay: well, you should be using /bin/bash, so that's not ubuntu-specific [08:48] Hi there. Could someone please help me get the inbuilt mic working? I'm trying to use sound recorder.. and can't get any audio recorded. THe inbuilt mic does work as I have used it in windows. I'm a bit confused by the volume control as there seems to be 5 devices in the drop down.. and I'm not sure where to start. [08:49] iolion: System. Administration and then System Monitor [08:49] So, Gnea geirha any idea how to fix it? === kaikai is now known as Ulrika` [08:49] tulsi1: alsamixer -Dhw in the terminal and turn mic volume up [08:49] is there a network bandwidth monitor? [08:49] ManDay: Well, when you get a message from glibc, your program is doing something terribly wrong. The best would be to fix the program. [08:50] Can anyone think of a reason for compiz to segfault repeatedly? It only seems to happen with Firefox open. [08:50] Casper1: try "sudo ifconfig wlan0 up" [08:50] geirha, that's not my problem. [08:50] ManDay: not really, 2>&1 outputs stderr to stdout, which in turn is outputted to the logfile. if it's not working that way, then something is wrong with your shell. [08:50] mneptok: no output [08:50] Casper1: see if you can see the SSID now [08:50] how can I configure my desktop effects? [08:50] iolion: hello [08:51] Gnea: glibc is apparently writing directly to the terminal [08:51] Gnea, why would you blame the shell? Does it work for you? [08:51] ManDay: or, something is wrong with your program. perhaps it's not including the correct header files. [08:51] mneptok: still not visible [08:51] iolion: network bandwidth monitor is also available from system monitor like znh said [08:51] Casper1: pastebin the output of "ifconfig" [08:51] Gnea, my program? My program is a one-liner. THe problem is always the same. glibc always does that - for numerous programs [08:51] ManDay: did you include stdio.h? [08:52] Gnea, seriously, why would I ? [08:52] ManDay: http://www.cs.bu.edu/teaching/c/file-io/intro/ [08:52] It's not in the scope of my program to make glibc work properly [08:52] ManDay: but it's in the scope of your program to work correctly. [08:52] It's a c++ program [08:52] I don't care [08:52] Gnea, my program is meant to throw this error [08:52] #include [08:52] as you say [08:52] Gnea, ManDay: http://pastebin.com/f2ef2b33f this reproduces it [08:53] exactl [08:53] mneptok: http://pastebin.com/d71de7867 [08:53] it doesn't include stdio.h [08:53] Gnea, should including cut it? [08:53] isnt this programming talk ? [08:53] indus, not really [08:53] ok [08:53] Casper1: you're wireless card is now active [08:54] ManDay: The only way I know to handle output going directly to terminal, is expect [08:54] Casper1: look again in NetworkManager [08:54] *your [08:54] ManDay: I'm not proficient enough with expect to help you though, so you'll have to google or try #expect or #tcl (if they exist) [08:54] geirha, Gnea i included but still the error is send to the terminal [08:54] menptok: nothing still, some1 else sugested i conect directly to the router? should i do so [08:55] i dont see why my program would be responsible for that [08:55] Gnea, have you tried reproducing it? geirha what is your result? [08:55] mneptok: im curently conected via modem [08:55] Casper1: well, that will rule out wireless problems [08:55] ManDay: The easy fix is to set the variable to NULL right after doing a free. free(NULL) is safe. [08:55] I have mounted a share using smbfs. Windows users mounting the same share can see the folders I create, but not the files. Que??? [08:55] geirha, it's not about my program. I wrote this program to throw the error in order to fix the issue with glibc. [08:55] ManDay: I stand corrected - that's really weird. oh well, yeah, you'll need to ask in a programming channel, like #c++ [08:56] mneptok: so its my card then? [08:56] Casper1: no [08:56] Gnea, I've already discussed this there. They agree that it's a linux issue [08:56] mneptok: then what is the problem [08:56] Casper1: look at the 2 pastebin outputs you sent. after you manually ran "sudo ifconfig wlan0 up" the card started working. [08:56] ManDay: k, well we just support Ubuntu in a rather user-friendly, non-lowlevel environment here. perhaps #ubuntu-devel [08:57] Ok I'll try thanks [08:57] good luck [08:57] Casper1: i suspect your router is either not broadcasting the SSID, is doing MAC filtering, or somesuch. [08:57] mneptok: What would i need to do to fix that? [08:57] hello. What can I do with a package I can't remove? In my case selinux. Google doesn't offer any solution. [08:58] Casper1: examine the WAP's configuration so you know for sure what it is doing, and what you might expect from it [08:58] mneptok: where would i examine that? [08:59] Casper1: uhhhhh .... in the WAP's adfmin interface? [08:59] Casper1: turning up the mic volume didn't help. Turning it too high gave that feedback sound.. so it's sort of halfway. But I still don't hear anything when trying to record in sound recorder [09:00] tulsi1: Mine is about halfway and records what program are you using to record with? [09:01] mneptok: Im sorry I dont know where that is I'm new to linux [09:01] Casper1: sound recorder. default app in ubuntu [09:01] tulsi1: try audacity [09:02] Is Ubuntu profitable yet? Or rather, is Ubuntu slowly dying? [09:02] Honest question, not looking to flame. Just considering using it at a particular client location, and this is a major issue for them. [09:03] what a good firewall.. [09:03] They don't want to "convert" over to Ubuntu GNU/Linux if it's going to end up like Mandrake. [09:03] could some1 please tell me where the WAP admin interface is please? [09:03] Casper1: WAP admin? [09:04] sandman- i wouldnt think so, as long as there are people using it there will be support [09:04] mneptok told me to check my WAP admin interface. i have now clue where that is and he stopped talking to me [09:04] i downloaded the unr iso image and want ot write it to a 2 gig SD card. can anyone recommend me an X-Window app that does it like https://launchpad.net/win32-image-writer/+download BUT that works on GNU/Linux??? [09:05] Casper1: mneptok has been saying a lot of misleading things lately [09:05] Gnea: Well thats interesting. You wouldnt be able to help me with my wireless conection would you? [09:05] Casper1: but I think he means your Wireless Access Point configuration website, which you should already know how to configure [09:05] Casper1: what's wrong with your wireless connection? [09:06] I'm not sure, thats what im trying to figure out lol [09:06] what are you trying to connect with what? [09:06] Gnea: Is that the http://ip address loggin screen? [09:07] Casper1: uh, yeah - whatever your local ip is on the wireless router device that you used to login to to set it up [09:07] cheater: i just bought a router and yesterday i conected but no pages would load, and now it doesnt detect it [09:07] Gnea: excuse me? [09:07] Gnea: I can't connect to that, My browser tells me the connection failed [09:07] did you try connecting it through utp? [09:07] From an xp guest in virtualbox I can ping the ip address of an ubuntu guest but not by hostname? [09:07] cheater: utp? [09:08] an ethernet cable [09:08] try that first [09:08] cheater: yes i did try that [09:08] There's something wrong with adding something to 'startup applications' - if I click 'add a startup program' and 'browse' it doesn't show any programs at all - instead it incorrectly displays a file selector dialogue box with all my documents in it. This is wrong. [09:08] did it work Casper1? [09:08] Casper1: your wireless router. check and make sure that it is broadcasting the SSID. your wireless card is active, based upon the output of ifconfig. [09:08] cheater: nope, which is why I'm still on the modem lol [09:09] Casper1: connect it via the wire and call customer support. [09:09] mneptok: i can't connect to the router. my browser says the connection failed [09:09] Casper1: if it won't work, then it's broken. [09:09] Casper1: connect via Ethernet cable, as cheater suggested [09:09] cheater: i called customer support and they want to charge me $70 to talk to them [09:09] I will try again though. [09:09] brb [09:09] return it to the shop and get a different one [09:10] cheater: that i might do [09:10] Casper1: odd, what access point make/model do you have? [09:10] yeah [09:10] Could someone take a look at http://paste.ubuntu.com/275111/ and tell me why compiz is crashing? [09:10] Gnea: netgear [09:10] that's fairly crap [09:10] Gnea: care to explain the "misleading things" comment? [09:10] is it dell or something [09:10] oh [09:10] Casper1: do they do that with all their products? [09:11] cheater: idk first netgear product I've owned [09:11] mneptok: I was being sarcasting about the "02:45 < mneptok> iolion: yes, buy the same laptop i have :P" comment, best just to let it flow under the bridge. [09:11] is there any package to customize a distribution based on Ubuntu or wtvr ? [09:12] Casper1: yes, but a netgear what? it should have a sticker on it that shows the model # [09:12] Gnea: when i'm trying to help someone, please do not cast apsersions on my advice. [09:13] Casper1: just for that, i'd bring it back and get a different brand. [09:13] mneptok: then please, don't say things to people who are looking for serious help like that. [09:13] Casper1: that's unacceptable.. [09:13] imo. [09:13] Gnea: both of us were joking. it was clear i was not being serious. it was NOT clear you were being sarcastic. [09:13] Casper1: have you tried calling your ISP? they might be able to help you with different routers [09:14] Casper1: look at the ouput you sent to pastebin - http://pastebin.com/d71de7867 [09:14] mneptok: fair enough, as long as we understand each other, i doubt it'll happen again. [09:14] Casper1: it's clear that your wireless card is active [09:14] still nothing [09:14] failed conection [09:15] Casper1: no model # then? just some no-label netgear? [09:15] Casper1: you *cannot* connect to that Netgear while using your modem === Jay|Lost_ is now known as Jay|Lost [09:15] Anyone know how I set up a static ip for my computer to my router. [09:15] Casper1: you have to switch to an Ethernet cable plugged into the Netgear [09:15] [09:16] d_: wired connection? [09:16] helo does anyone know how to get the network passwords because i have a windows computer that i want to connect to but its asking for a password [09:16] didnt work [09:16] mneptok: yes wired. I am trying to set up a vpn to another network, so i need to do port forwrding and that requers a static ip from the computer to the router. I think [09:17] d_: edit /etc/network/interfaces [09:17] d_: lemme get you a template [09:17] aaron11: that is a windows related question. [09:17] aaron11: use a username and password from that machine. The user that set up the share is best [09:17] nice! thanks mneptok [09:17] d_: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/272226/ [09:18] Casper1: what didn't work, exactly? [09:18] d_: obviously, replace the addresses with what matches your network [09:18] mneptok: checking now. ok, will replace the address. [09:19] Gnea: I connected the router directly to the computer via ethernet cable and still could not connect/navigate to loggin screen [09:19] Casper1: did you allow your computer to obtain an IP from it first? [09:19] mneptok: I'm kinda new. what do i do with that? [09:19] Casper1: you were gone for ~30 seconds. that's not long wnough to get a DHCP lease and test. [09:19] Gnea: The computer imidiately tried but failed [09:20] it got cut [09:20] I recongnize what it is, but how do I use it. [09:20] mneptok: do you think I'm lying? [09:20] Casper1: how many ports does the netgear have? [09:20] d_: pastebin the output of /etc/network/interfaces and the command "ifconfig" from the machine in question [09:20] 5 all together [09:20] Casper1: and can you not find a model number on it? [09:20] Gnea: WGR614 [09:21] Casper1: no, i think you just expected the connecton to work too quickly. [09:21] thank you. [09:21] mneptok: i waited for the conection and it failed so i tried a different port and neither worked [09:21] Casper1: okay, did it come with a manual? [09:22] Casper1: sounds like your router has issues. [09:22] Gnea: No only a disk [09:22] Casper1: you got it used? [09:22] helo does anyone know how to get the network passwords because i have a windows computer that i want to connect to but its asking for a password [09:22] Gnea: Brand new yesterday from radio shack [09:22] mneptok: I think your right lol [09:22] Casper1: there HAS to be a manual. all brand-new routers have one. [09:23] Gnea: Like I said theres just a disk [09:23] Casper1: did you go through an initial process of configuring that router via the admin web interface? [09:23] you can NOT buy a brand new router at radio shack and NOT have a manual with it. simply impossible. [09:23] Casper1: then re-check the box, maybe it slid behind a piece of something [09:23] Gnea: I thought it was wierd too but i even checked the "package contents" and it says nothing of a manual [09:23] Casper1: in the meantime, find a pen or pencil [09:23] this thing saying something about reloading samba keeps popping up and its annoying me, how do i stop it? [09:24] Gnea: Also double checked the box, and I have both [09:24] mneptok: do you know why some articles about port forwarding say that you should turn off port forwarding when you are not using it? I am trying to do a permanent connection to anther net work. [09:24] mneptok: yes i did [09:24] Casper1: ok good. on the back, there should be a very small 'reset' button somewhere [09:24] Gnea: Hold for 10 seconds [09:24] Casper1: k [09:24] it just came up again [09:25] d_: security. forward a port high enough and disabling it becomes less of a security concern. === ChaosD^66 is now known as ChaosDrei [09:25] is there any application close to this for Ubuntu ? http://susestudio.com/ [09:25] dang it it got covered up i cant see it [09:25] Gnea: I tried that already but its worth a shot, Waiting for it to start again [09:25] Casper1: also, is there a version of your model? http://kbserver.netgear.com/products/WGR614.asp seems to alude that there are many versions of your router. [09:25] helo does anyone know how to get the network passwords because i have a windows computer that i want to connect to but its asking for a password [09:26] is there any way to silence these messages that pop-up in the middle of the command line? [09:26] Gnea: V9 is mine [09:26] aaron111: windows vista ? [09:26] aaron111: that is a windows related question. please ask elsewhere. [09:26] aaron111: ask the owner of the windows computer [09:26] Armageddon: yes [09:26] Gnea: The router isnt starting back up [09:26] znh, Gnea wait a sec [09:26] Gnea: Nvm lol [09:26] Casper1: it takes a minute :) [09:26] Gnea: he doesnt know ethier [09:26] Can somebody help me play Eternal lands without it freezing my computer and forcing me to restart? [09:26] aaron111: go to the computer with vista and change the sharing settings, there is an option to ask a password even if there is no password [09:27] aaron111: ask in ##windows [09:27] mneptok: what would you suggest? I don't even know the limits. [09:27] is there any application close to this for Ubuntu ? http://susestudio.com/ [09:27] d_: what is it you are trying to do? [09:27] is there any way to silence these messages that pop-up in the middle of the command line? [09:27] Gnea: :( still no conection [09:28] Can somebody help me play Eternal lands without it freezing my computer and forcing me to restart? [09:28] it came agaun "Reloading /etc/samba/smb.conf smb only" [09:28] Casper1: geez... can you plug it into your dsl/cable WAN and then plug your computer into the 1-4 ports? [09:29] Casper1: then configure, then try wireless [09:29] "Reloading /etc/samba/smb.conf smb only" << how can i shut this up? [09:29] System-7: middle of what commandline? [09:29] THE command line === [NikO] is now known as niko [09:30] no, there are 2 command lines: console and X-terminals [09:30] the actual command line, not a term emulator [09:30] so, you mean the console, that you press ctrl-alt-f1 to get to? [09:31] mneptok: my business partner has a network set up at his house. we need to connect both networks. I have three computers on my network, he has several also. I think we need to do a vpn with ssh. that is from what I have read, but I don't really know what I am doing. just reading a lot. [09:31] basically yes, in my case that i start in [09:31] System-7: I see. are you running server? [09:31] cc [09:32] mneptok: you don't need ssh and vpn at the same time. ssh is a secure connection, vpn is also a secure connection [09:32] Can somebody help me play Eternal lands without it freezing my computer and forcing me to restart? [09:32] is there any way to stop ubuntu from displaying these messages? [09:33] is there any better, good feauturing, good graphic, opetaor access chat software like parachat? [09:33] comicinker: i think you meant to address that to d_ [09:33] Help!! [09:33] I can not un move any window [09:33] maximize or minimize [09:33] d_: you don't need ssh and vpn at the same time. ssh is a secure connection, vpn is also a secure connection [09:33] How do I change this?! [09:33] System-7: if you refuse to answer the question, then no, there is no way. [09:33] what question? [09:33] ok, thanks [09:34] 03:35 < Gnea> System-7: I see. are you running server? [09:34] System-7: that question^^^ [09:34] anyone want to help me set that up? [09:34] SharpRain: your more likely to get help if you put it all together [09:34] whoops soz didn't see that it got cut off by the messages [09:34] SharpRain: F2 compiz --replace or F2 metacity --replace [09:34] hi all [09:34] I can move a window, there is no maximize/minimize/close buttons on any window.. [09:34] System-7: np [09:34] d_: if what you want is to connect your home network to another home network over a secure connection, you'll want to research IPSec. is your colleague also running Ubuntu or Linux? [09:34] k thanks [09:35] Yes, its a server, but it was a normal ubuntu install originally [09:35] Wait what [09:35] I did that, it fixed it [09:35] now my cube is gone [09:35] linux [09:35] I killed off the graphical stuff and left just the command line [09:35] System-7: is there a program running in the background? [09:35] mneptok: he uses linux. a couple of different ones. [09:36] d_: IPSec is the way to go, then (Windows tends to use PPPtP for VPNs) [09:36] Help, desktop cube and rotate cube are checked but there is nothing there [09:36] the cube doesn't work.. [09:36] SharpRain: F2 compiz --replace [09:36] I did it. [09:36] theres plenty of stuff in the background, top shows that, not sure whats generating these messages though [09:36] It fixed my other problem. [09:36] Now I have a new one. [09:36] d_: IPSec is not for the faint-of-heart, though. spend some time doing some research. [09:36] ok, i'll check out ipsec. What is that? software? addin? [09:37] System-7: no, i mean in the background of the running shell [09:37] SharpRain: do it again. if no success, reboot [09:37] d_: standard protocol suite [09:37] d_: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPsec [09:37] should I tick "run in terminal" > [09:37] d_: openvpn might be a viable solution as well [09:37] SharpRain: no [09:37] I have two logged in, and im just running ircII in one [09:38] System-7: do the messages show up in both? [09:38] Yeah, works now. Thanks :) [09:38] Hmm, now my old problem is back [09:38] My old problem is back now that ones fixed... [09:39] gnea: I looked at openvpn but I could not see a benefit to using it. it seems to geared toward windows users. [09:39] Is there anything I can do to play Eternal Lands and have it freeze less? [09:39] System-7: ah ha - check your /etc/syslog.conf file at the bottom, where it's outputting to /dev/xconsole [09:39] d_: the easiest way to get this set up and running quickly is to buy a router with IPSec functinality built-in [09:40] d_: disagreed. openvpn is cross-platform, it will work with linux, mac or windows.. and in between. it was developed on linux/bsd systems, initially. [09:40] yes it shows up in both... checking that now [09:40] d_: e.g. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833124092 [09:40] will openvpn eliminate the need for port forwarding in the router? [09:40] SharpRain: go to system->settings->look [09:40] any web designer here? [09:40] mneptok: checking it out right now [09:41] there is no "settings" [09:41] hey..how do i forward my ip ports from my router to my irc server? ..i have an irc server..but it works only on LAN.. i want it to work to everyone [09:41] d_: doubt it, vpn's usually don't do that [09:41] Preferences or administration? [09:41] my cicco router has ddns services built in. [09:41] SharpRain: preferences [09:41] there's no "look" [09:41] compiz config setting's manager? [09:42] All my old stuff there is ticked for some reason.. [09:42] d_: i have absolutely no experience with that product. caveat emptor. [09:42] U8untu- http://portforward.com/ [09:42] !openvpn | d_ [09:42] d_: OpenVPN is a vpn technology in Ubuntu, sudo apt-get install openvpn and then see http://openvpn.net/ and see the documentation "HOWTO" noting you have already installed it. ;-) It rocks! [09:42] Hi! I need to change my the device name (/dev/mmcblk0) of my SD card, as a workaround to a bug to get it recognized by LVM. I was instructed on a forum to use "udev" or "types = ["mmc",16]". I did some research on udev, and it seems I'm beyond my depth there. The second possibility I have no idea about, and "types" is quite hard to do a google search on. Could someone here give any pointers? [09:42] d_: but such devices are much easier for new IPSec users to get up and running than are Linux boxen [09:42] SharpRain: I don't know the english word. maybe you should ccsm, too. I meant the theme selector. [09:42] Techie i was on that site..i dont understand nothin` :d [09:43] U8untu- do i have permission to PM you? [09:43] d_: and Gnea does not recommend openvpn lightly. it is also a good solution. [09:43] Guys I am looking for some files filter. I have several files with could belongs to two categories. What I want to do is be able to see only files from one category and then swith to view with files from second category. I could do it for example by put same files to two different folders(folder = category). It something like gmail and labels for mails [09:43] yes Techie [09:43] SharpRain: as soon as you tick enable or disable desktop effects your settings are lost [09:43] d_: examine all your options, and really have an undersyanding of how VPNs work before you buy or build out anything. [09:44] d_: I agree with mneptok, if you don't understand how VPNs work, then you should do some serious research beforehand. [09:45] mneptok: gnea, I am trying to do the research but I am only finding partial or incomplete articles... or out of date. [09:45] i commented out the last few lines about outputting info to xconsole, hopefully that will shut it up [09:45] Gnea: Still there? [09:46] Casper1: barely [09:46] although i like the idea it suggests with sending it to an idle tty... might use that :) [09:46] Gnea: I hear ya. Your sugestion of conecting to the modem through the router worked [09:46] Gnea: But I believe there is something wrong with the router [09:47] Casper1: well, if you have an IP now, then you know the gateway IP that belongs to the router, so you can login to examine and fix it [09:47] Hmm, I've still got that annoying fading window thing [09:47] Gnea: I think I'm going to take it to radio shack 2marrow [09:48] Casper1: ok [09:48] Everyone that helped me tonight thank you very much [09:48] I appreciate it [09:48] damn router... [09:48] cheers [09:48] lol [09:48] ubottu you a bot? [09:48] Sorry, I don't know anything about you a bot? [09:49] im looking for a good FTP Client, any ideas?

[10:15] GrimmVarg: will firefox recognize HeliPlayer once it's installed ? [10:15] indus, i think i installed it separately, so maybe that's why synaptic can't detect it.

I have several files with could belongs to two categories. What I want to do is be able to see only files from one category and then swith to view with files from second category. I could do it for example by put same files to two different folders(folder = category). It something like gmail and labels for mails [10:16] indus, no, 64bit [10:16] hi @ all [10:16] indus, i installed a very early version of 10 separately [10:16] sphenxes: change to ~/nytimes instead of /home/ [10:16] mun: then search for npviewer in synaptic and remove it [10:16] how can i install apache2 ?

How do I disable it? [10:32] Pinchiukas: i think when you insert usb , it will show in that tab [10:32] Pinchiukas: then maybe stop autorun [10:32] indus: what tab? [10:32] Pinchiukas: in nautilus/media tab [10:32] anyone know how to set up remote access to another network? [10:33] Pinchiukas: check the nautilus options. edit->preferences [10:33] Pinchiukas: nautilus is the file browser [10:33] Pinchiukas: in edit>preferences>media [10:33] I think I unchecked the last checkbox and that worked. [10:33] Pinchiukas: worked? [10:33] Pinchiukas: hmm [10:34] the software tab i believe [10:34] Yep, but I don't think that's a good idea. [10:34] anyone got any experience with audacity on ubuntu? [10:34] indus: which tab is that? I have this stupid native language localization. [10:34] Pinchiukas: in media ,u unchecked last option that one [10:35] Pinchiukas: after cd,dvd etc [10:35] It's something like "open media after plugging it in". [10:35] Pinchiukas: ok [10:35] eviljussi01: #ubuntu+1 no response, have you test 9.10 ? [10:35] I want USB drives to be mounted, but not this one. [10:35] how to access a smb:// directory using a terminal ?

[10:36] ManateeLazyCat: i have,try it if you have the guts [10:36] ManateeLazyCat: it can be a little slow in there, just be patient [10:36] indus: I just want it to stop complaining after each time I plug it in.

[10:37] Pinchiukas: its a system message, cant disable it that easy iam sure [10:37] That blows. [10:37] Pinchiukas: why cant this device be mounted?

[10:41] i don't know how to record the output of the speakers [10:41] Pinchiukas: yeah [10:41] i have about 6 soundcards to choose from [10:42] and i only have one inside the laptop [10:42] !sudo comfnumb [10:42] Sorry, I don't know anything about sudo comfnumb [10:42] That means ubuntu blows. :) [10:42] nikolaj: then what are the diff cards u see [10:42] Pinchiukas: maybe someone else has a better answer for your problem [10:43] Pinchiukas: why is this usb not mounting? [10:43] indus: don't know, maybe cause of being read-only. [10:43] Pinchiukas: does it say its being mounted read only [10:43] I dont know the commands to move a folder to a new dest.... i realize sudo gets me privileges, but i dont know where to go from there [10:43] indus: when I mount in console by hand it does. === c is now known as Guest30451 [10:44] comfnumb: this command should give you the help you need: man mv [10:45] comfnumb- mv from to [10:46] Pinchiukas:can i see the error?

[10:48] quiet today [10:49] ActionParsnip: lull before the storm [10:49] nikolaj: wow [10:49] Hi. I would like to setup my USB to install ubuntu. I have the ISO/CD from when it was first released. Since then there have of course been loads of updates. Can I create a USB install that includes those updates? [10:49] but, if i open the ubuntu volume control i have all these sound cards [10:49] Myrtti: tell me about it. I have that now with work. [10:49] nikolaj: what sound card do you use [10:50] indus: bet its some creative thing [10:50] lol yeah [10:50] evil, techie: awesome, thanks! [10:51] nikolaj: sudo lshw -C sound | grep product will tell you [10:52] Intel ICH6 (Alsa Mixer), SigmaTel STAC9750,51 (OSS Mixer), Playback: Intel ICH6 - Intel ICH6 (PulseAudio Mixer), Capture: Monitor of Intel ICH6 - Intel ICH6 (PulseAudio Mixer), Capture: Intel ICH6 - Intel ICH6 (PulseAudio Mixer) [10:52] sorry on sec [10:52] opens terminal [10:52] comicinker, there's nothing in .gvfs [10:52] product: 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) AC'97 Audio Controller [10:53] although when i had windows install on this laptop, SigmaTel rings a bell [10:54] basically all i want to do is record whatever would be coming out of my speakers [10:54] but without using a mic [10:54] nikolaj: its the same soundcard only diff outputs or some strange way of sound channel identification by the system [10:55] nikolaj: if u see the options, it lists playback and record both, use the ones which say mic [10:55] so if i found a sample on youtube of someone talking i could just open audacity in windows and setup it up to record what was playing at the time [10:55] nikolaj: its clearly called capture [10:55] sorry ok one sec [10:55] nikolaj: the last 2 devices [10:55] nikolaj: try second last 1 then the last [10:56] right the last 2 devices of the last list i gave you are from the volume control menu in ubuntu [10:56] not in audacity [10:56] they don't show up as capture in audacity [10:57] although there is another menu once you select playback and input options which appears based on what you chose there, and "Capture:0" is an option [10:57] is it easier if i open a new window to chat in [10:57] ? [10:57] lol [10:57] this is a little hard to explain at points [10:58] if i want to upgrade from hardy to 9.04, what is the best way to do it without reinstalling everything at the end? [10:59] mun: 8.04 --> 8.10 --> 9.04 [10:59] !upgrade | mun [10:59] mun: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [10:59] indus ? [10:59] erUSUL, but is upgrading reliable? [11:00] ya\ [11:00] nikolaj: stay in here,its better [11:00] ok [11:00] mun: it should be never had mayor problems myself [11:00] nikolaj: so what does audacity show you as devices? [11:00] erUSUL, good to know. thanks [11:00] mun: i've only installed ubuntu twice in 5 years [11:00] well the recording devices were the very first list i gave you [11:00] erUSUL: hmm interesting, i have never installed windows even once :) [11:01] nikolaj: did you actually try recording with them? [11:01] indus: touchè :) [11:01] the second list where the soundcards i could choose from in the volume control menu which you can open from the volume icon in the system tray area [11:01] yes i have [11:01] erUSUL: i am sure its more difficult than ubuntu [11:02] it just either is really crackly even after setting the levels; doesn't record at all as if something is preventing it, or doesn't even play back [11:02] but it has never been able to record for more than 1-6 seconds [11:02] nikolaj:which vresion of ubuntu? [11:02] and usually when it does that it's nearly like white noise [11:02] 9.04 [11:02] jaunty [11:03] is there a command line to know the codec and the container of an audio file ? [11:03] can u believe it, i recorded an entire song from online when it played , using sound recorder and it sounds super, like in stereo :) [11:03] maxagaz: use «file» the command [11:03] sound recorder? [11:03] is that already installed? [11:03] for the first time ever, this was on karmic , till now it was nothing but crackling [11:04] nikolaj: of course, its installed default and you can record sounds [11:04] are you using karmic? [11:04] nikolaj: i just pointed the mic at the speakers and recorded a song [11:04] nikolaj: yeah [11:04] or sorry i see where it is [11:04] nikolaj: try that, audacity is more for editing sounds etc [11:04] yea i need to edit as well [11:05] eventually i will use these sounds in ableton [11:05] nikolaj: ok check for device from sound recorder maybe, then use in audacity? [11:05] so if i can just do the loose editing at source before i export it as an mp3 that's soemtiems easier [11:05] Hi [11:05] i just tried to record with soun d recorder [11:05] crackly as hell [11:05] I was wondering if anyone could help me with an ssh problem [11:06] nikolaj: i know, but with karmic iam getting crystal clear audio [11:06] i have no idea why [11:06] I ssh to a debian server [11:06] i thought sound recorder was useless until now [11:06] i can't use a mic because it picks up other sounds as well which is bad [11:06] hehe [11:06] and unicode char show up as gibberish [11:06] when i am using it in songs n stuff [11:06] it didnt actually in my case [11:06] locale is set up correctly on both my machine and the server [11:06] strange, i stay by the road side too [11:07] nikolaj: just keep mic near speakers [11:07] lol i know what you mean, but when you come to edit it, and put it through a spectrum analyzer it picks up to many high end peaks [11:07] and there is sometimes an brush of white sound in the back ground [11:08] stupid question, how do i change the background of the inside view of a folder? I explain myself: u no it comes with light blue and white stripes one for each file if u put the view on "list"? how do i make it all white instead? tried "edit > background and emblems" here it says "drag a pattern tile to an object to change it" but after doing it, even after pressing the "reload" button, nothing changes! where am I wrong? thanks [11:08] and i need to keep the frequency ranges balanced and when you record through mics you fill up frequency areas you usually wouldn't if you recorded directly from the source [11:08] when was karmic released then? [11:09] was? it isn't [11:09] !karmic | nikolaj [11:09] nikolaj: Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 29th, 2009 - Karmic WILL break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [11:09] lol, what was that all about! [11:09] nikolaj: ya its alpha [11:10] kk [11:10] nikolaj: can u try to join #audacity [11:10] maybe better help there [11:11] pulseaudio has come a long way really [11:11] hehe [11:11] you know what's funny [11:12] now i tried recording with sound recorder [11:12] nikolaj: move to karmic october 24 when its out, sound output has got really great [11:12] and it's working [11:12] nikolaj: hmm good then [11:12] much change in karmic? [11:12] nikolaj:yes [11:12] right will do [11:12] this is another problem i have though [11:12] nikolaj: so try with audacity and see if you can record [11:13] i only moved to ubuntu about a month and a bit a go [11:13] maybe 2 [11:13] stupid question, how do i change the background of the inside view of a folder? I explain myself: u no it comes with light blue and white stripes one for each file if u put the view on "list"? how do i make it all white instead? tried "edit > background and emblems" here it says "drag a pattern tile to an object to change it" but after doing it, even after pressing the "reload" button, nothing changes! where am I wrong? thanks [11:13] and so i did a bad install [11:13] nikolaj: bad install?

[11:26] !sound | hiend [11:26] hiend: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [11:26] hiend: this should help [11:26] erUSUL: well i was using it in windows quiet well :( [11:26] ActionParsnip: Thanks!

(or on any win i don't mind) pm me... [11:28] Epoxy: it does not matter [11:28] erUSUL: i did it says: "mount: you must specify the filesystem type" [11:28] aah ok [11:28] Wo1F: and "-t udf" ? [11:29] pepso: why? o_O [11:29] erUSUL: i got same responce like with iso9660 :( [11:29] pepso: this does not solve my prob... [11:29] ActionParsnip: stupid question, how do i change the background of the inside view of a folder? I explain myself: u no it comes with light blue and white stripes one for each file if u put the view on "list"? how do i make it all white instead? tried "edit > background and emblems" here it says "drag a pattern tile to an object to change it" but after doing it, even after pressing the "reload" button, nothing changes! where am I wrong? thanks [11:30] IpSe_DiXiT: not sure, never done that before [11:30] Wo1F: what does « file TinyXP-Rev09.iso » says ?

[11:31] n i'm having a problem with Xen, if anyone can help... [11:31] my problem: i have 3 virtual machines running on xen, the problem is that i changed something on the net configuration and now i don't which IPs are using those machines o if they are even in the same subnet... is there any command to run on dom0 that gives me the network configuration of the domUs?

[11:36] Wo1F: http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion [11:36] ActionParsnip: nobody on ǹautilus though... it's totally empty o_O [11:36] indus: there is.

The two slots that are filled are black and there is a blue one thats empty beside both of the black ones as if the black and blue were a "pair"... Im looking to buy possibly two new DDR2s to fill those open slots but does it matter which two go together? [11:46] Hi ActionParsnip [11:47] hey, what the fastest linux nowadays? [11:47] !ot | shawn_ [11:47] shawn_: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [11:47] could be .... shawn_ sometimes have to put the same type in certain slot pairs [11:47] hey, which linux the fastest linux nowadays? [11:47] o2o: xpud is damn fast, as is damnsmall linux [11:47] depending on the mobo [11:47] o2o: depends entirely on config [11:48] o2o: xpud boots in 3 seconds on my AM2 3000 semp + 2Gb DDR2 [11:48] ActionParsnip: really? [11:48] o2o: but you have to do a LOT of work yourself to get anything at all [11:48] hi [11:48] o2o: really [11:49] o2o: its has a torrent client, a web browser, a media player and a terminal [11:49] ActionParsnip: I mean run the same soft environment, which is the fastest [11:49] o2o: it uses X server and plate to run. Its very minimal and doesnt come with many hardware drivers as default, hence the speed [11:50] o2o: there is no fastest, I can configure any distro to be fast or slow, so its entirely down to config [11:50] o2o: ubuntu + flwm will be tonnes faster than say fedora + kde + compiz [11:50] so , every linux are the same fast, right> [11:50] so , every linux are the same fast, right? [11:51] ubuntu=simple0fast [11:51] o2o: linux is the kernel and is pretty much the same throughout, the thing around it is the distribution [11:51] Can sun-java5-jre and jdk-6u16 coexist in the same ubuntu sys?I have the former installed and now i want to install the latter, any warning to this ? [11:51] pepso: ubuntu + lxde = fast :) [11:51] Installed BitchX isnt very easy... Ive followed the sites instructions for install and it is simply not working when I run ./configure: error: cannot find setupterm or tgetent [11:51] Guys I am looking for some files filter. I have several files with could belongs to two categories. What I want to do is be able to see only files from one category and then swith to view with files from second category. I could do it for example by put same files to two different folders(folder = category). It something like gmail and labels for mails [11:51] o2o: if you want a faster system, use a lighter DE [11:51] *installing [11:51] what about xubuntu? [11:52] what does DE mean? [11:52] o2o: that uses Xfce wich is a light DE, they are all ubuntu and you can install XFCE on Ubuntu to effectively achieve xubuntu [11:52] o2o: de = desktop environment [11:52] o2o: lxde and flwm are also light DEs [11:52] o2o: ubuntu uses gnome as its DE by default [11:53] is there a way in kmail to block all mail thats sent to more than just me i get a lot with 10 addys id like to ban them all [11:53] o2o, and you use xubuntu with old equipment, there its faster than ubuntu === floopsie is now known as Floops [11:54] could I change my ubuntu config to use the DE in xubuntu? [11:54] o2o: if you have a slow system, or like me, just want a faster DE, you can install xfce4 or lxde and you can use that instead of gnome [11:54] Is there any client for Ubuntu that can be used for hotmail accounts? [11:54] o2o: sudo apt-get install xfce4 [11:54] o2o or go for the win and install openbox [11:54] o2o: log off, change session type the xfce, then log in [11:54] void_pointer: +1 :D [11:54] oh, I think I should try that!

[11:58] o2o: xfce is better ofcourse, it's one of the main 3 de's [11:59] ok, I think I should choose xfce [11:59] o2o: you can use gnome based apps in lxde / xfce [11:59] ActionParsnip, bash: syntax error near unexpected token `unzip' [11:59] For any hosting needs, please visit www.hostchaos.com or irc.hostchaos.com:6667 Reliable Hosting at Affordable Prices [11:59] o2o: just like some users like Amarok but use gnome, as long as deps are met you can use anything [11:59] online boxing game http://www.kobox.org/kobox-fande-Nourine.html [11:59] hello, why my XChat client could use TAB key to to a nickname?

See also !scp (Secure CoPy) and !sshd (Secure SHell Daemon) [12:17] Hey all - how do I prevent ubuntu from a forced fsck when it boots? [12:18] What is secure shell daemon. How is it different from ssh [12:18] just a question: wich package (not meta-package gnome-panel) provides "alt+f2" function? [12:18] !destroy [12:18] Sorry, I don't know anything about destroy [12:18] is gparted gui or console [12:18] RalphSpencer: The daemon is the "server component" that allows ssh connections to be received [12:18] !reset [12:18] Sorry, I don't know anything about reset [12:19] SilAmeth: gparted is a gui to parted [12:19] So I need to install it in order to receive connections from remote computers? [12:19] !alt+f2 [12:19] Sorry, I don't know anything about alt+f2 [12:19] SilAmeth: most apps that start with g are gui based [12:19] SilAmeth: after it's installed press Alt+F2, type gksudo gparted and hit enter to run it, then from the hard disk list at the top right corner select ur harddisk(if u already have a harddisk connected then it will be /dev/sdb), then format the partitions of the harddisk as u like :) [12:19] RalphSpencer: ssh could sometimes refer to the daemon component, but often it means the client application that connects to ssh daemons [12:20] RalphSpencer: Yes, if you want to receive connections then you need the daemon installed and running, if you just want to connect to a remote computer then you just need the ssh client (often just called ssh) [12:20] is openssh-server an sshd? [12:20] SilAmeth: simple GUI :D [12:20] RalphSpencer: Yes - it is [12:20] RalphSpencer: I think that's the sshd that most people use [12:20] I've installed it, but it accepts connections only on local network. [12:21] I need it to accept connections from internet.

[12:21] RalphSpencer do you have a router? [12:22] RalphSpencer: Your external firewall/router/whatever-you-call-it-on-your-network needs to know to forward TCP connections on port 22 to the box with the sshd on it [12:22] RalphSpencer: If you're connecting through a router, you will most likely need to open a port on your router to accept the incoming web connection to forward it to the specific machine you're ssh'ing to [12:23] RalphSpencer: How to set up port forwarding exactly will differ depending on the brand of router - but you can probably find some instructions specific to your brand if you google around a little ... [12:23] Hello everyone. [12:23] Any idea what avahi-daemon does? [12:23] RalphSpencer: You can get guidance on port forwarding for specific routers at http://portforward.com/ check the list there and find your router, you should find the instructions in its links [12:23] nope dsl [12:23] actually the local network i talked about does not exist [12:23] it just takes 127.0.0.1 [12:23] there's no router [12:24] This is a DSL [12:24] awesome. You pioneered a direct dsl connection. [12:24] Hehe void_pointer [12:24] Never mind. [12:24] RalphSpencer I am guessing you have a device that connects you to your DSL [12:24] Hi, is there a Right Way to install Adobe Reader on Ubuntu 9.04? [12:24] RalphSpencer you will have to identify that device [12:25] chombee: yes [12:25] Yeah [12:25] indus: Interesintg, What is it? :) [12:25] chombee: yah there's adobe reader in adobe site [12:25] chombee: use the medibuntu repos to install it [12:25] go there and you'll find it easily :) [12:25] chombee: its not the best way ,but its easier [12:25] indus: I looked at the package list on their site and it doesn't seem to contain acroreed [12:25] chombee: or ya direclty from theri site [12:26] chombee: its called adobe reader now i think [12:26] Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+ (rev 10) [12:26] the device ^^ [12:26] OK, different question: is there any particular reason avahi-daemon's CPU usage jumps from 30% - 100%? [12:26] indus: I don't think it's there: http://packages.medibuntu.org/jaunty/index.html [12:26] chombee: i thinkadobe site has a deb [12:26] RalphSpencer: Er, that looks like your NIC :( [12:26] I'm at a college surrounded by Macs, if that helps. [12:26] chombee: but I prefer okular and evince, they are way faster than adobe reader linux [12:26] can some one tell me the comand to run terminal in su mode [12:27] SilAmeth: sudo -s [12:27] chombee: ya i think license issues, try deb from site its good enough [12:27] SilAmeth: sudo -i [12:28] SilAmeth: -s and -i are equal [12:28] how do i upgrade the latest available drivers for my video card? [12:28] I am sorry I meant to creat a launcher that is a teminal already in su mode [12:28] SilAmeth: gksudo gnome-terminal [12:28] thank you [12:28] SilAmeth: unlike other distros, in ubuntu there's sudo for root privilage.. you can directly open a root terminal by gksudo gnome-terminal [12:28] how do i install SDL for anjuta? [12:28] indus: They have a bin file but it segfaults [12:28] OriWB: what video card do you have? [12:28] OriWB: from the site i believe [12:28] from alt+f2 launcher [12:28] OriWB: try envy-ng [12:29] !envy [12:29] EnvyNG is a program to install newer version of nVidia or ATi drivers, it can be found in !Universe as "envyng-gtk" (for Gtk/Gnome) or "envyng-qt" (for Qt/KDE). It is NOT a supported method to install video drivers; please only use it if standard methods fail and at your own risk - See also !BinaryDriver [12:29] chombee: segfaults? [12:29] RalphSpencer: Either you will have a network cable that leads from your PC to a little "DSL box" or a wireless connection to a little "DSL wireless box" (for want of better descriptions) - it's that box that we're asking you to identify [12:29] indus: it crashes [12:29] OriWB: what does: sudo lshw -C display | grep -i product say? [12:29] sllide, open synaptic pacakge manager hit Search and typ in sdl [12:29] indus: command not found [12:29] coz_ i got that already [12:29] ActionParsnip: is envyng supported by jaunty [12:29] OriWB: dont use envy, its garage and not supported [12:29] but it doesnt show up in c++ [12:29] I haven't seen a jaunty package yet [12:29] alokito: no its not supported in any release [12:29] OriWB: you need to install it dear, sudo apt-get install envy-ng [12:30] sllide, mmm then i am not sure sorry [12:30] :( [12:30] OriWB: what is the output of: lspci |grep -i vga [12:30] ActionParsnip: garage? its in universe [12:30] To refine my earlier question: How can I completely disable the automated fsck functionality of usplash? I realise I can press escape to cancel, but the machine in question does not have a keyboard [12:30] actionparsnip: product: Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller [12:30] !usplash [12:30] To select the usplash artwork you want, use "sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so && sudo update-initramfs -u" - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto for adding your custom artwork [12:30] indus: its not supported by the community, like ubottu says [12:30] sllide, did you install all of the sdl .dev pacakges [12:30] not sure [12:30] and you can install nvidia drivers directly from repo, no need for envyng... and if u want the latest one then u can download from nvidia site and install it easily [12:30] ActionParsnip: well, vlc is in universe too , how come that is supported? [12:30] how do you put comment in script file? [12:30] ActionParsnip: I don't mean community support I mean there isn't a jaunty version [12:31] is it # ? [12:31] * ToreadorVampire can vouch for what alokito is saying - installing nvidia drivers from their website is a piece of piss [12:31] indus: i installed it, the command is still not found [12:31] !info envyng-qt jaunty [12:31] envyng-qt (source: envyng-qt): install the ATI or the NVIDIA driver.

[12:32] ToreadorVampire: i use the 190 from the alpha repo.works great [12:32] sllide, there isnt a channel for that but you could go to ##linux channe perhaps someone there would have mor information on this or the #programing channel [12:32] actionparsnip: ok. what does that mean? [12:32] ToreadorVampire: they aren't buggy at all for me [12:32] OriWB: just envy i belive, press tab [12:32] OriWB: you have an intel video card [12:32] i can goto c++ itslef [12:32] ActionParsnip: oh, thanks for that [12:32] indus: command not found [12:32] actionparsnip: so?

[12:43] OriWB: If a game developer or nvidia developer says the new driver is known to fix problems that you are seeing that would be a reason to get the latest driver [12:43] There are three possible causes for this error: [12:43] 1. Your video card is too old [12:43] 2. You haven't installed the latest available drivers [12:43] 3. You haven't installed the latest DirectX version [12:43] OriWB: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

Trying to help that guy with his ssh problem was like sticking an icepick in my eye ... [12:54] whats plug and play os?

[12:55] indus: eto: as well as polling for new hardware at runtime [12:55] indus apologies. I know the COC, but to continue helping I had to get that off my chest. Seacrest out. [12:55] basically anithing above os2 and dos and w9x [12:55] OriWB: ok is this a new terminal window? [12:55] windows needs it? [12:55] Amaranth: now it is [12:55] indus: Everything that isn't DOS needs it [12:55] indus: it helps [12:55] OriWB: ok, run `cd ragnum` [12:56] indus : well if it is not enabled it doesn't boot in apic mode, windows xp that is [12:56] Amaranth: cd ragnum [12:56] hmm so why would that option be set to off by anyone? also, i think its off in mine omg [12:56] Amaranth:bash: cd: ragnum: No such file or directory [12:56] its *regnum* please [12:56] lol [12:56] eh, it's just some game :P [12:56] Amaranth:lol its regnum! jusr a sec! [12:56] OriWB: oh, cd regnum [12:57] Amaranth:lol ok, did it [12:57] OriWB: ok now ./rolauncher [12:57] ActionParsnip: so i should keep that bios option on? or it wont detect devices? [12:57] Amaranth: ok, this runs the login menu [12:57] indus: doesnt hurt to have it on, makes sense too [12:57] indus: linux most likely works either way since it pretty much ignores the BIOS once it is running (except for ACPI stuff) [12:57] well so nobody has to tell me something about that apic error ? [12:57] OriWB: So the game is working now? [12:57] OriWB: hooray [12:58] a gsopcast liike program? [12:58] Amaranth: no, i need to login [12:58] Hi!

[13:03] HI is anyone running Americas Army in Jaunty successfully [13:03] OriWB: Or until the video driver supports your game :) [13:03] OriWB: btw, envy wouldn't help you since you are using intel [13:04] Amaranth: right... what if i upraded to the newest version of ubuntu? [13:04] Amaranth: i thought intel drivers are open source [13:04] or in vlc someone help me to se some channels?

[13:11] Amaranth: why? so keep hold of regnum? [13:12] Amaranth, I thought ubuntu detects intel cards automatically and applies the driver [13:12] if i use TLS in the proftpd.conf (FTPes become) it has a failure in routing [13:13] alokito: It does but not the newest one [13:13] hmm ok [13:13] !intel | indus alokito [13:13] indus alokito: Ubuntu 9.04 has a known regression for some Intel graphics support. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/IntelPerformance and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1130582 for more information. [13:13] alokito: Updating to the newest intel driver properly involves updating the xorg driver, the mesa driver, libdrm, and the kernel [13:13] Amaranth: and u said that trying to play anything on wine was pretty pointless? [13:13] so, when i turn on encryption (FTPes) connencting to my ftp-server fails. It says that the returns a unlogical address [13:13] helo [13:13] Paddy_NI: thanks [13:13] alokito: Miss any one of those and you've either got a system that doesn't work or doesn't fix the bug you have problems with [13:13] well system update might install latest ones === kray_ is now known as kraychecker [13:14] OriWB: Nah, I use wine with my intel x3100 to play games just fine [13:14] OriWB: but only older games [13:14] okay, I have internal intel but I use an external nvidia [13:14] OriWB: yeah, hold onto regnum and update to 9.10 when it comes out next month [13:14] Amaranth: how much older? whats an older game? [13:14] 9.10 looks super [13:14] indus, how super? [13:15] Guys I am looking for some files filter. I have several files with could belongs to two categories. What I want to do is be able to see only files from one category and then swith to view with files from second category. I could do it for example by put same files to two different folders(folder = category). It something like gmail and labels for mails [13:15] indus, its just an alpha release has it got new look yet? [13:15] indus: do i need all upgrades untill 9.1 toget it? [13:15] I doubt that [13:15] How would i use ecryptfs to encrypt a directory in a windows partition such that it wont be accessible by anyone in the windows partion? [13:15] not finished yet, but will look best on october 24:) [13:15] OriWB: 9.10, not 9.1 [13:15] indus, karmic discussion in #ubuntu+1 [13:15] OriWB: you can directly upgrade to it from 9.04 when its released [13:15] bazhang: sorry [13:16] indus: that means i need to upgrade to 9.04 firt? [13:16] msg ActionParsnip so, only when i turn on encryption (FTPes)in proftpd.conf, connencting to my ftp-server fails. It says that the returns a unlogical address [13:16] OriWB: The game I mainly play in WINE runs on a 133Mhz Pentium :) [13:16] OriWB: You aren't using 9.04? [13:16] OriWB, no u can directly upgrade to 9.10 from any release [13:16] alokito: No [13:16] Amaranth: no, someone told me to waittil 9.10 [13:16] Amaranth, why not? :-/ [13:16] OriWB:are you not on 9.04? [13:16] indus: no [13:16] alokito: If you know what you are doing, yes [13:16] OriWB: ya you have to go step by step [13:16] alokito, no you cannot [13:17] Techie: /j #gentoo [13:17] alokito: Otherwise no, absolutely not :) [13:17] Amaranth, yes upgrade might make trouble but its not impossible [13:17] err [13:17] lol [13:17] Indus: is there any hope for regnum to wrk for 9.04? [13:17] lmao [13:18] !wfm [13:18] Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok.

[13:18] Indus: yeah [13:19] OriWB: i suggest you hold on cos i hear of problems with 9.04 and intel [13:19] alokito: For people in this channel it is best to say it is impossible [13:19] Indus: ok... so I'll wait a month [13:19] indus: i'm using 9.04 & intel... but my box is old - it works ok... [13:19] alokito: Because you have to be a hardcore Debian geek to do it right [13:19] Amaranth, lol, okay :P [13:20] geekbuntu: iam also on intel here now, its fine cos older intel 945 [13:20] geekbuntu: if it aint broke dont dix it ;) [13:20] there's nothing better than a fresh install [13:20] indus: werd [13:20] alokito: its not true [13:20] indus: p3 1ghz [13:20] indus: ipaq [13:21] too much off topic i believe now [13:21] Does anybody know when the fingerprint scanner for system 76 will be out? [13:21] the log contains not any error. [13:21] alokito: I agree in some ways, but installing and configuring all my applications takes a day or so [13:21] day or so dam [13:21] dwatkins, u can backup ur configurations and apps, so I don't think its a problem [13:22] That depends whether you've installed that OS beforehand, alokito. [13:22] !u [13:22] U is the 21st letter of the modern latin alphabet. Neither 'U' or 'Ur' are words in the English language. Nor are 'R', 'Y', 'l8', 'Ne1' or 'Bcuz'. Mangled English is hard for non-native English speakers. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/abbreviations/ for more information. [13:22] Sorry, I was curious about whether there was a "u" factoid. [13:22] dwatkins, if I haven't installed the os b4 then how can u upgrade it!? [13:23] no !u [13:23] I was referring to fresh installations, alokito. [13:23] dwatkins, can't u use backup from a previous version in a new one? [13:24] dwatkins, He meant fresh install as opposed to an upgrade [13:24] alokito: not when you're moving from an entirely different OS [13:24] dwatkins, then simply copy your configs.. that should definitely not take a day or so :P [13:24] Does anybody know when the fingerprint scanner for system 76 will be out? [13:24] I was talking about fresh installs too, Paddy_NI :) [13:25] Also, I imagine upgrading from an old Ubuntu release might mean it's not possible to port the config files across, nor the list of installed packages. [13:25] to install n setup take only 30mins or so depending on hardware n crap lol [13:25] dwatkins, I'm completely lost!... how can u upgrade if you are using a different os? :-S [13:25] I mean upgrading in the "installing a new version on a new hard disk" sense [13:25] Going from say Ubuntu 5 to Ubuntu 9 by wiping the disk and installing Ubuntu 9.04 [13:26] and why shouldn't you do a fresh install if u can use the backups from your previous version of the same os? [13:26] But I've "upgraded" from IRIX to Linux in the past, that was fun, but I digress and I'm going offtopic. [13:27] okay :| [13:27] In firefox I get a 'content encoding error' quite frequently. Any known fixes/workarounds? [13:27] sorry, got a bit sidetracked there [13:27] firestorm, did u google it?

[13:30] alokito: as I said ... reading the search results themselves didn't seem to provide a solution that worked [13:30] n wat did u try [13:30] hi, is there a way to hide this "maximized" panel from window-picker-applet? I just want the icons... [13:30] okay.... [13:31] alokito: do you have any suggestions? [13:31] hola [13:31] alguien habla español?

[13:51] when trying to install quake3, I receive: Verifying archive integrity...tail: „+6“ cannot be opened for reading: no such file or directory. any ideas? [13:52] nmvictor, you can install JDK 5 and 6 alongside. The system will install them in different locations, so you can use update-alternatives to select the default one [13:52] applications->internet->xchat-gnome icon couldn't be removed, but I have apt-get remove it. [13:52] pronoy: bear in mind that i will do a manuall install of jdk6u16 which i have downloaded from suns website,jdk5 was installed with sun-java5-bin, will java5's bin work with jdk6? [13:52] bigjocker: haa, think that sounds reliefing [13:52] nmvictor why not directly from the repos ? [13:53] ActionParsnip, how could i remove an icon in the Applications menu? [13:53] pretty well wat i said ^^^ lmao [13:53] just not geeky way hehe [13:53] nmvictor, they will be installed separately ... JDKs are independent: they do not install anything outside the JDK folder ... so you can have as many as you want installed at the same time [13:53] o2o: alacarte will help [13:53] o2o: Right click on the top of the menu, go to 'edit menus' and find and remove the app you don't want.

[15:30] grawity: thank you. its untar now but then what :) srry noob questions :) [15:30] harisund: Yes, the only difference between Ubuntu and Xubuntu is the desktop environment (Xubuntu comes with Xfce instead of GNOME).

[15:31] harisund: They aren't. All Ubuntu, Kubuntu and Xubuntu share exactly the same repos. [15:31] hi evrybody [15:31] harisund: the repos are the same, ubuntu uses a different sound system to xubuntu and kubuntu as well so the matapackage reflects that [15:31] grawity: yes the readme file is there and the install file is there [15:31] scrub: Well, read both. (Use 'less') [15:31] hmm ok thanks :) i want to use xubuntu, but i am afraid i won't receive the same kind of "support" that i get on ubuntu [15:31] harisund: you can even go crazy and install kubuntu-desktop on ubuntu to get a full kde desktop [15:32] kk [15:32] thx [15:32] i installed bt4 and the sound did not start [15:32] harisund: xubuntu is an official release so has full support [15:32] still in alpa or beta bt4 isnt it [15:32] so if any one knows how to make it start pls help me [15:32] !!!

Just to get the ball rolling [15:46] shane2peru: by the way, you were looking for !who === dexter_ is now known as Dexter [15:46] Pici: thanks [15:47] shane2peru>I believe the command is: !who [15:47] shane2peru: sorry, I need to remember that [15:47] * DreamsofanEagle is used to much much much smaller channels [15:47] Beat me :-( [15:47] Sidewinder1: Pici beat you to it, he is quick on the draw.

My Ubuntu Netbook Remix OS thing on my Netbook loses the connection after a while [15:48] Hello Everybody [15:48] kyle6513, sorry for the inconvience, but, the problem could be a unique set of permissions that are denying access to the folder that writes for Addons. It's really hard to say from here. [15:48] Sidewinder1: neither am I, wasn't sure how to put it. [15:48] xps9000, could it be possible to open the normal firefox with swiftfox installed? [15:48] Pici, won't tell... I know, ..ot [15:48] shane2peru: under the Ubuntu repository, it says that Hardware Drivers is not installed [15:48] hi [15:48] how would I install kde 4.3.1 and koffice 4.0.x (not the 4.1 beta) from backports? [15:49] benedikt: I understand, some people want only free software. Personally I don't mind a little non-free to get certain things working [15:49] kyle6513, no, generally swift installs over firefox mainstream brand. [15:49] hi it's there a ubuntu mac intel-based version? [15:49] DreamsofanEagle: you need to install ubuntu-restricted I think that is where the driver is you need, what ati card do you have? [15:49] IdleOne: im forced to use nvidia binary drivers on my laptop.. this is a server though :-) [15:49] shane2peru: it says its to configure third party and proprietary drivers [15:49] shane2peru: 4870 [15:50] DreamsofanEagle: radeon? HD? [15:50] just do a search on google and you will find ubuntu boxes [15:50] xps9000, uninstall swift, install firefox and then get the addons working then install swift again? [15:50] benedikt: did you try editing /etc/apt/sources.list and remove the restricted part? [15:50] kyle6513, that's fruitless. [15:50] xps9000, as in couldnt do anything useful? [15:50] how do I install flash to Opera in ubuntu x64? Or is it possible? [15:50] kyle6513, correct [15:50] benedikt: but if you need to use the nvidia drivers then your not completely non-free heh [15:50] xps9000, okay thanks for the help [15:51] kyle6513, if you are open to new programs, I was an avid hater of Opera, but, they seem to have everything worked out now, you could give it a try. They too have addons. Though, I prefer firefox myself also. [15:51] opera's 9 button bookmark thing is pretty nice [15:52] how do i switch back from the annoying two-finger touchpad scrolling to the normal one-finger edge scrolling? [15:52] I'm using Opera again... cause I had a few problems with Firefox. But I still use Firefox for somethings.... it had more suppost [15:52] Help!

Thats really annoying [15:52] support* === n00bjabi is now known as zvonkorp [15:52] shane2peru: its a Radeon 4870 [15:52] xps9000, its the fact that im use to firefox and that i like being able to sync my addons between my desktop and laptop, also, from a chart i saw on the internet, opera consumes more power than FF with adblock plus installed [15:52] Opera is very nice lately [15:52] but how do you install flash to opera in ubuntu x64?! [15:52] tell me the most stable audio player radio plaer for linux [15:53] or do I have to change to ubuntu x32 [15:53] ? [15:53] @nozu -- I don't think flash supports 64bit yet -- I would switch to 32bit [15:53] DreamsofanEagle: try the ubuntu-restricted package and see if that helps [15:53] kyle6513, It consumes more power on some machines, it depends on the configuration, but, to be honest, I am seeing a performance gain with Opera over FF. But, that's from very rough estimations. I can only suggest try it, and Opera now supports synchronization aswell [15:53] uni4dfx: I cant boot into cdrom I have already tried changing it with another one still nada, all I have on the bios is what ive posted which aint much and google sure is not helping [15:53] in console mode, some characters in random places on the monitor flicker randomly, is this my video card?

I have a separate partition for /home, and I'm not sure what else is taking up all the space on my root ... [15:55] kyle6513, I have read them :P Like I said, most testing is standard on one machine, it's hardly vigorous. And Opera has an addon similar to addblock and noscript. [15:55] Halitech, for Opera? [15:55] Good Morning! In addition to my ubuntu machine, I have an old quicksilver machine, and I was wondering if you guys could recommend a good OSX channel [15:55] nozu, it should, let me double test and make sure flash works in my opera [15:56] Ok, I have an Acer Aspire One A150 with ubuntu netbook remix on it. I want to be online of course, but theres a problem. After a while Ubuntu loses the internet connection - without a reason [15:56] shane2peru: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102801 is my exact card that I have [15:56] eurythmia: have a look in /var/cache/apt/archives. you're probably keeping a copy of every package installed. [15:57] sipior, I'll run apt-cache clean-all then and see where I go from there. Don't know why I didn't think of that earlier. Thanks. [15:57] i think windows 95 is best than all linux boxes [15:57] am kiding [15:57] haaaaa [15:57] eurythmia: try apt-get clean [15:58] eurythmia I would suggest doing a "du -ch | grep -ve K| less " under /var. it will return all of the folder that have MB and GB sizes, and at least of my system it does not take too long [15:58] sipior, hmm ... only 1/2 gig ... it's some, but not the type of memory usage I'm talking about. [15:58] DreamsofanEagle: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [15:58] eurythmia: well, keep digging [15:58] DreamsofanEagle: or just open synaptic and search for ubuntu-restricted [15:58] ls === reneortez is now known as omabena [15:59] I think I downloaded those already, one sec [15:59] SE, thanks for the tip, I didn't think of using grep to do that. What does the 'c' argument to du do? [15:59] nozu, well, its showing the flashplayer is installed but flash isn't working, but then again youtube is hit or miss for me even in ff [15:59] eurythmia it prints a total at the bottom [15:59] SE, ah. [15:59] shane2peru: I already have them [16:00] Ok, I have an Acer Aspire One A150 with ubuntu netbook remix on it. I want to be online of course, but theres a problem. After a while Ubuntu loses the internet connection - without a reason and i cant reconnect. Its just ... BAM! And my Flashplayer isnt working fine, cuz there isnt a video, its just like a diashow with 1 picture per hour but the sound is ok [16:00] DreamsofanEagle: hmm, ok, in the terminal give me the output of this: glrxinfo | grep render [16:00] DreamsofanEagle: use pastebin for that [16:00] if anybody want to meet me and talk a little bit.. do it privately plz!!! [16:00] SE, I usually use "du -lhs" to avoid the total printout to stdout ... gives me the size of the base directory that I'm looking at. [16:00] nozu, actually, if you look here http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ it says only for mozilla, firefox and seamonkey [16:01] oh ... wow, here we go ... my /var/log is 4.2 G [16:01] Halitech, ok, thanks! [16:01] command not found [16:01] Halitech, thanks. I was curious, too! [16:01] * shane2peru runs off to double check that command === crunchbang is now known as toxygene [16:01] eurythmia yeah, but if you are looking for large folder, a recursive lookup is helpful at time [16:01] nozu, daevski no problem, I seldon go to youtube so never know when its working or not working [16:02] DreamsofanEagle, try "glxinfo | grep render" [16:02] try sudo apt-get install clean [16:02] SE, I won't disagree with you there :) [16:02] DreamsofanEagle: sorry about that it is: fglrxinfo | grep render [16:02] DreamsofanEagle: one letter makes a difference. :) [16:02] OpenGL renderer string: ATI Radeon HD 4800 Series [16:03] shane2peru: thats what it gives me [16:03] eurythmia I am not sure why your /var/log is so bit, but check to see if logrotate is running. it keeps my logs pretty tidy but enough of them to debug if I forget about my server for a month or so [16:03] ahh ... that's what I thought ... I've got 4.1 Gigs of log from postgresql ... it's what's been eating up my diskspace anyways. [16:03] DreamsofanEagle: seems as though your card is installed correctly then, I'm not really sure. [16:03] Like I said, windows will play it fine, Linux won't :/ [16:04] DreamsofanEagle: I gotta run, I'm not sure if it is a driver issue with your ati card, or a playback issue with video formats, but one of those two is probably the problem [16:04] DreamsofanEagle: what are you using to playback? vlc you said? [16:04] SE, it's because I set up a script to import ~9Gigs of SQL files into my postgresql database ... but they had long filenames ... so my guess is that the logs/records filled up the diskspace, and everything just stopped. [16:04] Ok, I have an Acer Aspire One A150 with ubuntu netbook remix on it. I want to be online of course, but theres a problem. After a while Ubuntu loses the internet connection - without a reason and i cant reconnect. Its just ... BAM! And my Flashplayer isnt working fine, cuz there isnt a video, its just like a diashow with 1 picture per hour but the sound is ok [16:05] shane2peru: everything does it, dragon, VLC, Movie Player [16:05] hey, I ran the updates on 9.04 and it changed the permissions on my bin directory. How do I find out which deb likely did it and report it as a bug? [16:05] DreamsofanEagle: vlc usually is rock solid, so I'm guessing it is your ati drivers probably an issue, can't be 100% sure on that though [16:05] eurythmia you were importing 9GB onto a machine that ran out of room with 4GB of logs... o_0 [16:05] DreamsofanEagle: the opensource drivers are still being worked on, ATI with Linux is kind of a pain [16:05] shane2peru: its what I'm figuring too [16:06] shane2peru: :( [16:06] Paschu: i had that problem before but i seems to been disappeared... [16:06] it* [16:06] How do I watch a video stream from teh web if it uses windows media format? [16:06] is it possible to run 32bit software (compiled with 32bit) on amd64-system? or MUST it be compiled with amd64? [16:06] it doesnt at mine netbook [16:06] DreamsofanEagle: you can try the proprietary drivers, even though it isn't really recommended [16:06] SE, yeah ... my partition schema isn't all that great. [16:06] !ati [16:06] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [16:06] Paschu have you tried "ping google.com" after your internet dies? [16:06] SE, I *just* found out that I have to change it ;) [16:06] DreamsofanEagle: ^^^^^^ [16:07] iceroot, it's possible to run 32bit software on 64bit platform -- check out ia32-libs i think the name is [16:07] no, but it doesnt seem to work [16:07] SE, although, it was the combined 9 gigs of records and 4 gigs of logs that caused the disk to fill up. I'm thinking that I should create a new partition on which to house my /var [16:07] !wmv | JuJuBee [16:07] JuJuBee: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [16:07] Ok, how does one run a file as a superuser? [16:07] !sudo | DreamsofanEagle [16:07] DreamsofanEagle: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) [16:08] DreamsofanEagle: 'sudo somecommand' for single commands. 'sudo -s' for a superuser shell.

[16:09] ok, forgive me for being dumb [16:09] its sitting on my desktop [16:09] eurythmia ahh I see. yeah, my /var on my servers are usually fine sitting on my root partition, but I trim my logs pretty qwell, so that I dont have to deal with it [16:09] DreamsofanEagle: What kind of file is that? [16:09] hey, I ran the updates on 9.04 and it changed the permissions on my bin directory. How do I find out which deb likely did it and report it as a bug? [16:09] grawity: .run, its the drivers for my video card [16:10] iceroot: I have an XServe running Debian that turns itself off every morning. I suspect there's a setting in OpenFirmware for that. [16:10] iceroot: when I click on the kubuntu-restricted-extras link on the restricted formats page firefox does not know how to deal with apt:.... [16:10] I'm hoping for a command line utility to set OF values without having to reboot the server. [16:10] JuJuBee: you are using kubuntu or ubuntu? [16:10] kubuntu [16:11] DreamsofanEagle: So a program. (The .run extension doesn't really matter.) Open Terminal from Accessories, type 'cd ~/Desktop' to go to your desktop, then run the file using sudo. [16:11] JuJuBee: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-restricted-extras [16:11] ai !!!!

What would the bestway be to set this up? [16:13] kyle6513, yay, congratulations :P Good luck on swiftfox. [16:13] kyle6513, let me know if you find a solution, so I can pass it on to others. [16:14] hello, so how do i completely remove ubuntu? [16:14] alow [16:14] who use miro tv [16:14] ? [16:14] err, i meant gnome [16:14] put an axe in your hard drive. [16:14] daum: for example in x11vnc that is one switch in the command to start the vnc server [16:14] uniquefluff: be helpfull [16:14] daum: I have in the past configured GDM to run Xvnc. I don't know if your users would be able to disconnect without closing the session that way though. [16:15] im speaking from experience. [16:15] xps9000, that was the fix, it is now working, i will go attempt to install more addons [16:15] Ok, kyle6513 [16:15] Myrtti, does x11vnc does it allow multiple users to connecta t the same time to the server? [16:15] uniquefluff: "it works for me" isn't a valid reasoning for that help ;-) [16:15] daum: I think so, though am not sure [16:16] ARRRRRRRGH [16:16] it WILL NOT let me run it as a super user :( [16:16] xps9000, yep it just came up with something that i can click on to restart swiftfox and it just restarted and installed swiftfox succesfully, and who says i need fourms :P so im guessing you were right about the permissions problem === arooni_____ is now known as arooni [16:17] kyle6513, I figured that, linux can be a whore with it's permissions. [16:17] kyle6513, but, it's great for security. [16:17] Anyone here use jed? I'm trying to figure out how to add a .sl file where I can access it by typing in "mode_xml". [16:17] xps9000, oh well lets try vista then :P [16:17] ' ][m [16:18] * DreamsofanEagle mumbles, stupid ' ' marks [16:18] kyle6513, no thanks, I'll pass. Vista is a wanna be security OS. But, offers none, what so ever---Just visible annoyance. [16:18] I have found that ' ' after the SUDO command negates said SUDO command [16:18] indeed, [16:18] xps9000: Try Windows 7 someday. [16:18] Vista=bloated [16:19] Hi guys, how can i burn a nrg file to disc? [16:19] Windows 7= even more bloat [16:19] xps9000, im acctually attempting to jump over to xp right now [16:19] hey guess what [16:19] what is the command(in the terminal) "yes" for? [16:19] grawity, I have windows 7 on a small drive in another machine. [16:19] linux = the shit [16:19] grawity: windows 7 = vista with more decorations [16:19] DreamsofanEagle: Even my Linux geek friends like 7. [16:19] hey, I ran the updates on 9.04 and it changed the permissions on my bin directory. How do I find out which deb likely did it and report it as a bug? [16:19] kyle6513: Please watch your language in here. === ryu2 is now known as ryu [16:19] grawity, I prefer Xp pro though. [16:19] lightness: It just constantly prints 'yes' (or whatever string it's given). [16:19] pici, sorry [16:19] since windows made vista it starts really to produce multi tache os [16:20] and i believe that win 7 is one of the best oss [16:20] lightness: For example, if you happen to use some program that requires you to confirm A LOT of things by typing 'y' or 'yes', you could do yes | that-program [16:20] megabraker, i read somewhere that windows 7 was being made then they went back and made the service pack 1&2 for xp then made vista out of windows 7 [16:20] drknezz, looks like you could convert it to an iso "sudo apt-get install nrg2iso" i've never used nrg2iso [16:20] megabraker, best, how do you figure? Corporate companies are holding off installing windows 7.... In fact, Linux is picking up the market, and Windows is falling.

[16:21] xps9000, thats probably not a good thing since alot of paid software developers will come in and make linux a costly solution [16:21] So anyway. Windows' UAC is _supposed_ to be annoying. (Micros~1 said so.) [16:22] Acer aspire One D250 Lan adapter not work. Help!!

[16:23] woops, pici* [16:23] :D sorry thought that you use 9.04 [16:23] kyle6513: The idea was kind of like this: a program needs admin rights without any reason --> it causes a lot of UAC popups --> user gets annoyed --> user complains to program's developers --> program gets fixed [16:23] dsdeiz__: if you however want to get it; http://wicd.sourceforge.net/ [16:23] kyle6513: But reality is kind of like this: a program needs admin rights without any reason --> it causes a lot of UAC popups --> user gets annoyed --> user complains to Windows developers --> UAC gets disabled [16:23] eraggo: yeah, found it now [16:23] thanks [16:24] xps9000, i have alot of work to do right now but maybe another time if i remember to come back on :P [16:24] !why aptitude [16:24] Sorry, I don't know anything about why aptitude [16:24] lol [16:24] thanks for the help in any case, bye!

[16:25] spree, every time you connect to a network it will make an "auto ESSID" [16:25] SingAlong_: I think all official Ubuntu releases use the same repositories. [16:25] so yeah you must have connected to alot of wireless internets [16:25] just click on the entry and click remove [16:25] kyle6513 that's not what i'm asking. I want to know where the file is that stores these old connections [16:25] grawity: well i'm not able to check for updates. says the repo isnt available anymore [16:25] and yes kyle6513 i actually work for a wireless company [16:25] spree, ah okay cant help you there [16:25] kyle6513 that will take approximately forever. [16:26] spree, i appologize :P [16:26] anyone else know where the old wireless network info is stored (the file itself) for the Wireless section of Network Connections?

(Or edit /etc/apt/sources.list) [16:29] grawity: ya now the repos are working fine [16:29] Hi folks: is there a simple way of doing a hard reset on your optical drive? [16:29] megabraker: mostly i meant that which part of vista bugs i start.. [16:29] grawity: i didnk know that the cd repo has to be disabled first [16:30] xchat is opened on compture reboot.

[16:34] i have nvidia gforce 850 [16:34] I reinstalled grub yesterday after an error17 problem, but grub just boots to its console. using that console, it cant find menu.lst, even though it exists. having looked in /dev it appears that there are no sda or hda files for my HDDs, which is presumably causing these errors. Is this normal for ubuntu? im using kubuntu 9.04 [16:34] 8500 [16:34] megabraker, any problems installing ubuntu on it [16:35] no === ursula_ is now known as Ursinha [16:35] cool [16:35] it detects aurtomaticly the card [16:35] Is there a torrent client for ubuntu that lets me download a movie torrent such that the fragments in the beginning of the movie are downloaded first, so that i can start watching it (with VLC) if download speed is sufficient? [16:35] Zykotic-K9, it didnt do anything [16:35] krdyt, i was just pointing out that it's there in 9.04 [16:35] o === cnborn is now known as CNBorn [16:36] do you want a good linux?

[16:37] !medibuntu | krdyt follow this link [16:37] krdyt follow this link: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [16:37] try amarok [16:37] anyone know how to remake /dev files for HDDs in ubuntu? [16:37] for mp3 and avi ==amarok [16:37] gabbah, to my knowledge torrents don't work that way - it's not like an ftp/http download that's beginning to end - it just grabs whatever it can from whomever it can [16:38] I have a monitor and a LCD TV. the LCD TV doesn't support DDC, so I can't probe it for valid resolutions. When I start X with the other monitor attached and get a mode list, then I can use those modes after switching to the TV. How can I dump the modes from the monitor to a format that I can use to enable those modes when using just the TV? [16:38] grawity what ??? [16:38] gonglen: Eh, sorry. Wrong nick. [16:38] ok [16:39] Hi - had anyone solved the sound problem for HP DV laptops on ubuntu 9.04?

But perhaps there's a client that can try to get the early fragments first from it peers [16:40] jack_spratt-> you re run the udev now not makedev anymore [16:41] npo [16:41] no [16:41] wazzzaaaa: do you have MythTV running also ? [16:41] OerHeks: nee [16:41] no [16:41] alphanix [16:41] n8userm: ok, would buntu using udev explain my my hdd /dev/ files are missing in the first place? [16:42] Hmm [16:42] How the heck do i get sound on new macbook pro 15? [16:42] jack_spratt-> i dont understand your question about missing [16:42] jack_spratt: all distributions use udev since a few years [16:43] I need some help [16:43] <^mNotIntelligent> administrator, go ahead [16:43] what kind of help === administrator is now known as Guest82640 [16:43] jack_spratt, if you are only at a grub prompt you won't have udev running - thus dev is gonna be missing a lot of stuff!

[16:46] Zykotic-K9: but grub normall manages to boot and access devices... [16:46] Guest82640, just an FYI - perhaps doesn't apply to you - when I first install with one of my Linksys card I need to use a wired connection - do the updates - THEN I can go to Hardware Drivers and enable my wireless card. Just something to think about. === root is now known as Guest55906 [16:47] jack_spratt, grub uses different drive mapping then the DEV stuff [16:47] Thnx Zykotic, I think I got it now [16:47] gtg in school and I'm in deep dung if bagged [16:47] Zykotic-K9: see, yesterday in #linux I was told "you need to create the device files in /dev for grub-install to work. On a redhat based distro there would be MAKEDEV and mknod scripts" [16:47] Lol. [16:48] jack_spratt: Well, Ubuntu is Debian-based, not RedHat-based. [16:48] jack_spratt, Grub relies on the BIOS HD definitions thus we see stuff like "HD(0,0)" sorta thing in the Grub config file [16:49] jack_spratt-> i believed there is still that MAKEDEV script [16:49] hello, i have installed a earlier version of gcc and g++ but now i want to revert back to the orignal gcc version, does /usr/bin/gcc always have symlinks to the proper gcc files (/usr/bin/gcc-4.3) [16:50] n8tuser: jack_spratt using a static dev in this day and age is not very usefull... [16:50] n8tuser: but you dont think running it will solve my grub problem? [16:50] jack_spratt: better find out why the dev for your disk are not created... [16:50] erUSUL-> i agree, but i think he is insisting, so i point him that it still exist [16:50] jack_spratt, erUSUL how could DEV work when it isn't running? [16:50] erUSUL: yesterday I chrooted into the install and ran ls -a /dev/ | grep -i sd and got nothing. thats conclusive that theres a dev problem right? [16:51] german people are here [16:51] Zykotic-K9: what? what is not running? [16:51] ?

[16:55] jack_spratt: so you first mount the root parition in "/mount/point" then sudo mount --bind /dev/ /mount/point/dev the same ith proc and sys then sudo chroot /mount/point. and then and only then you can chroot [16:56] jack_spratt: it does not find menu.lst ? [16:56] erUSUL: but you think that doing that would be a worthwhile procedure, or would you suggest that I do something else? [16:56] erUSUL: no it says file not found [16:56] yoooooooooooooooooo [16:56] erUSUL: but the file exists [16:56] oi [16:56] tudo bem [16:57] jack_spratt: the other option is from grub promt do find stage1 [16:57] jack_spratt: then do root (whatever the other command outputs) and finaly setup (hd0) [16:57] !grub | jack_spratt all explained here iirc [16:57] jack_spratt all explained here iirc: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager.

Helps to have a static outside IP but if you don't something like dyndns or no-ip works [17:17] could any body give me the remote exploit chanel [17:17] d_: For dyndns and others like it, package ez-ipupdate [17:18] erUSUL:OK, I think thats what ill do. Sigh. I spent about 7hrs on this yesterday, and I had to work (php dev) all day today on my netbook (the horror). All I did to cause all these problems in the first place was plug an HDD into a different IDE cable, and then when it didnt work move it back. But alas. So it goes. [17:18] genii, I was told to use a high port number. low port number could be used to hack root. is this true? [17:18] #remote-exploit [17:18] megabraker_: please STOP that [17:18] Genii, I would everydns, but my router has the client software built in for dyndns.

And thanks for all your help [17:19] no problem [17:19] n8tuser: thanks for your help earlier :) [17:19] d_: It *is* good practice to use a port other than 22 on the router, (something unused over 1024 for instance) and then forward that internally to 22 on the server [17:20] Out of interest, anyone know how kubuntu compares to pardus? [17:20] what's the best bluetooth application, connecting mobile phone to notebook on ubuntu 8.04 [17:20] d_: Basically it just helps to make brute-force ssh login attempts more difficult to execute when it can't find anything responding on 22 [17:20] Genii, ok, um, how do I do that?

[17:25] Juzzy: what problem ? you point your sources to old-releases upgrade to latest packages and then dist-upgrade to 8.04 [17:26] d_: Most modern routers have the feature of assigning an IP to lan computer based on it's MAC address. In this way the computer can always be set to auto-get an address but always rec eives the same one. Then you use this as the IP which to forward for instance something like port 45678 incoming on router to port 22 [17:26] Juzzy: which is LTS and has a nice long support cycle ;) [17:26] erUSUL: read what i said. [17:26] d_: Apologies on lag, work required me [17:27] erUSUL: My -true- problem is the t1 card's drivers (kernel modules) will not exist when i reboot to a new kernel [17:27] thus I'd have to fly out there to fix it [17:27] d_: The mechanisms for how you specifically will need to set these things up is largely dependent on your router make/model/features so I would suggest to consult it's owner manual [17:28] Juzzy: then you are stuck with an old distro [17:28] erUSUL: I was hoping for something more creative [17:28] is anyone here experienced with intel graphics accelerator?

[17:35] ahabman: yes, inotify will do what you want. consider installing the inotify-tools package: there may be things there you can use. [17:35] ahabman, can your programs move your file into a different place when changed? That way all A has to do is move it into place, and B has to just check for its existence and then delete it when done. [17:36] :( [17:36] sipior, I'll check out that package.

[17:55] scrub: yes. It would just be using the TV as a monitor, not sure what sort of xorg trickery you might need though [17:56] ActionParsnip: ah hah, that makes sense :) apt has kicked me in the balls with this sort of thing before so I was just checking, thanks mate [17:56] compgenius999: but even then you should be able to get to a tty instead of logging into gnome [17:56] i need help in frrenode [17:56] hello i am new to ubuntu and wanted to install eclipse 3.5 but it seems only have 3.4 :( [17:56] bodsda: thanks yeah i just wanted to know if i was wasting my time trying. ill mess with and and figure it out [17:56] i need help with frrenode [17:56] megabraker: #freenode ?

[18:12] very helpful that is [18:13] genii, ok, so I am in my router and I see how to port forward. I think . there is a tutorial at port forward.com I can't find a list of all the mac addresses. I am using a linksis wrt54gs. There is an option to clone a mac address. I assume that is not what I want. [18:13] deb http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main contrib <- what can I replace that with, it seems that it keeps giving me errors and it mentions that address when apt-getting [18:13] going to try ifconfig in terminal. [18:13] K4rl: i doubt you are using etch [18:14] That's what's in /etc/apt/sources.list though, ActionParsnip [18:14] 46 minutes until ubuntu is downloaded :D [18:14] K4rl: etch is a debian release [18:14] And then im formatting, installing ubuntu, and then installing all the applications -.- [18:14] Liam: have fun :) [18:14] K4rl: So should not be in there at all [18:14] !google | Napst3r [18:14] Napst3r: While Google is useful for helpers, many newer users don't have the google-fu yet.

I have a 2.3ghz amd quad core and an Nvidia 9800GT -- no issues with my install [18:16] Snerf: its in system -> prefs -> screensaver [18:16] Snerf: i recall having to disable dpms ages ago to get that effect.. but i dont recall the details. [18:17] Ahh good. [18:17] Snerf: make sure you are the owner of all the data in ~ [18:17] Im downloading it now and tomorrow im formatting and then installing Bodsda [18:17] =] [18:17] ActionParsnip: ehehehe, ok, I removed it now, I can upgrade stuff now, thanks :) [18:17] Should be good. [18:17] Liam: yep, if you have any problems just ask in here. Most of us in here should be able to give you a hand [18:17] K4rl: dont mix debian with ubuntu, you will get issues [18:17] ActionParsnip, it is disabled there, it still kicks in [18:18] Snerf: could try ' xset -dpms ' [18:18] Bodsda - Thank you so much =] Im hoping linux will be fun, and nicer than windows :P [18:18] Snerf: is it the screensaver kicking in.. or the monitor powering off? [18:18] Liam: fun -- hehe it is :) [18:19] Snerf: check ownerships of files [18:19] Snerf: +1 for Dr_Willis' question [18:19] no, the monitor is not powering off [18:19] how do I check the ownership of the files? and which files? [18:19] Snerf: dpms hsa several modes.. it could be kicking in a low power mode.. befor it powers off. [18:20] soryI know ow to check.. I meant, wich files [18:20] Snerf: try that setting and see I guess. it wont hurt. [18:20] Hello all. I'm trying to wget a file from within rc.local, but it doesn't seem to be working. http://pastebin.ca/1574152 any ideas why this isn't working? If I run it as root, it works as designed. [18:20] lemme check Dr_Willis [18:20] Bodsda - Is it more difficult than windows, or is it the same sort of thing? [18:20] Gadfly: could be rc.local is running befor network is up and going fully.. perhaps make it wait about 30 sec... [18:21] Liam: it is no more difficult as long as you are willing to learn and to forget your bad windows habits :) [18:21] =D [18:21] Liam: head into #ubuntu-beginners if you wanna chat bout it [18:21] thanks [18:21] Dr_Willis, when doing 'xset -dpms' it returns saying "unable to open display" [18:21] !foo [18:21] bar [18:21] Gadfly: you proverly should make that huge disaster of a rc.local script in to a stand alone script and call it from rc.local. [18:21] Gadfly: that would be a bit cleaner I think and easier to test. [18:22] is it safe to skip the blacklist checks by compiz? [18:22] anyone here who is using an ich southbridge? [18:22] Gadfly: Also, are you sure that your network interfaces are up when the script is running? [18:22] wouldn't wget error if there's not ip? [18:22] Gadfly: it may be - and you are looseing the error output. [18:22] shouldn't it be captured? [18:23] or, it uses for its sound card snd-hda-intel ? [18:23] No idea. I always launch simple scripts from rc.local Your example is way more complex then anything i see normally done. [18:23] Gadfly: Check your wget log [18:23] d__: Some research into this model shows the default firmware does not have the "assign IP by MAC" type feature. In this case you have basically 2 options... assign one manually on the computer itself and then exclude that specific one from being assigned on the router... or (the route I would go) replace the router firmware with one that has that feature, like dd-wrt or Tomato === dragon_ is now known as Guest70357 [18:25] there is no MIPS version of Ubuntu, right?

[18:43] good evening, just wanted to ask why there are almost no updates in ubuntu 9.04 release? (or any other, maybe?)

I checked your link, i cannot see anything eigther [18:44] or list a routing table of some sort [18:44] actionparsnip, on the windows partitioner it won't let me continue until I remove the linux partitions [18:44] Hello.

[18:45] hey... can anyone help me with this problem? my ubuntu was working until i restart it... it displayed some message about resolution and moved screen a bit to the right. Now it doesnt even display log in screen, just some weird colored lines and freezes... this is my Xorg.0.log? http://pastie.org/624815 [18:45] actionparsnip, no there's no freespace on the hd. my partitions are 30gig ext3, 35 gig ext3, 1 gig swap, rest fat32 [18:45] DreamsofanEagle, try episode 7 [18:45] ltcabral, did you recently try to install or compile a new video driver? [18:45] Alexia: dont think so... [18:46] anothergit: windows isnt intelligent to resize, you will need to use livecd to resize [18:46] ltcabral, did the update manager update anything before the restart [18:46] Alexia: no it didnt [18:46] ActionParsnip: route brought up 192.168.0.0, this machine's ip is 192.168.0.1, but i have another linux system on the network with the ip of 192.168.0.2 it's gateway set to 192.168.0.1... shouldn't this work? [18:46] trijntje: , nothing doing [18:46] Alexia: i think i changed something related to metacity - emerald... but not sure if it was the reason [18:46] actionparsnip, so if I leave like a gig of freespace at the beginning windows will be chill. and later I can just delete that and use grub only, right? [18:46] ltcabral, thats probably what it was [18:46] anothergit: or just remove the fat32 partition if that is destined to have windows [18:47] ltcabral, did you try to enable compiz? [18:47] DreamsofanEagle, thats strange, new ubuntu install? [18:47] yes [18:47] Alexia: hm... maybe [18:47] actionparsnip, thanks I'll try both of these ideas [18:47] Alexia: actually it was enabled arleady... i remember the wolby windows [18:47] anybody can help me about ubuntu partner program?

I've been trying to request a key for a software source but it's not going through... [19:35] cause I made the mistake of manually editing that file to add a user to the group, and I think at the same time the users/groups tool was pointing at the file [19:35] devnull_: hmm, that is odd, you mean the xorg that comes with 9.04? [19:35] not to mention the new FGLRX doesn't work with anything but he latest ATI cards [19:36] shane2peru, yea i am not using the xorg that comes with 9.04 [19:36] because of the ATI issues [19:36] when is 9.10 supposed to be released? [19:36] devnull_: they don't work that great with the new ati cards, mine was a disaster [19:36] and the open source ATI drivers worked great in 8.10 but suck ass in 9.04 to the point i can't use them [19:36] thanks ActionParsnip and #ubuntu [19:36] !9.10 | Wicked [19:36] Wicked: Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 29th, 2009 - Karmic WILL break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [19:36] shane2peru, yea it is a disaster [19:36] devnull_: the only fix for me was the proprietary drivers [19:36] how do i check if wireshark is installed? [19:36] devnull_: however my xorg on this box is fine, intel [19:36] thanks Pici :) [19:36] shane2peru, yea i used the proprietary driver, but to do that i needed to downgrade X [19:37] Does xchat support SSL going to this #ubuntu channel?

I'm running into a problem with VirtualBox 3.0.6's "Disable Mouse Integration" (DMI), on both OpenSolaris & Ubuntu guests (Ubuntu host). Once I select DMI the mouse cursor disappears in the guest OS. It is a USB mouse, if I try grabbing the mouse through VBox's USB interface - mouse pointer disappears and it's difficult to get it back in the Host system. I also tried disabling USB support in the VM - no [19:38] change. Any suggestions? [19:38] devnull_: I installed their 9.9 driver, and it wouldn't install, left me with a bad system, I dug out their old proprietary driver and installed that. [19:39] I'm getting some very ugly messages about udev symlinks when I boot, any idea which log i could find this in please? [19:39] shane2peru, problem is the old FGLRX driver does not work with XORG [19:39] and the new FGLRX doesn't support like any cards [19:39] When I go to system->admin->login window, the window apears and then disappears. here is what the terminal spits out: http://pastebin.com/m6546ab58 [19:39] devnull_: so, could very well be the driver is a mess too [19:39] devnull_: right [19:40] devnull, I tried to download a different torrent and I'm still having problems trying to download anything with Transmission [19:40] the drivers are a mess .... but my usb issues started after install of 9.04 and before my downgrade to the previous XORG so i am pretty sure they aren't linked [19:40] anyone dual booting os x (snow leopard) and ubuntu? [19:40] ska178, did you do what the other person said ... move your transmission conf file out of that folder and let it set it up again [19:40] ska178: is it possible your router or modem or isp is blocking the ports that run torrent stuff?

[19:46] ZoeyMarie: no but it takes some time :-D [19:46] movela, there is a program called etunbootin which allows you to put an iso file on a usb stick [19:46] jonah: no, yoy will install grub but then you'l need to configure it to use the config on the other disk (may be possible) [19:46] jiohdi3: thanks.. i will try that... [19:46] movela, its available in linux and windows versions [19:46] percX: when I tried to add it via the command line, it comes back saying that the keyserver was not responding.

[19:49] I'm going to try to implement a few of these solutions, and I'll come back with more info [19:49] jiohdi3: i thinks its just for the OS intsalled...

[19:59] ahem stuff [19:59] Darael, odd [19:59] devnull_: very. [20:00] Zykotic-K9: Yeah [20:00] devnull_: It leaves no messages in Xorg.0.log either. [20:00] ZoeyMarie, sorry I gots nothing?!?! [20:00] Darael, could be a compiz issue .. i know the FGLRX is buggy though [20:00] can you use the ATI drivers instead ? [20:00] devnull_: Once, syslog reported that compiz.real had segfaulted, but the other times, none of the logs had anything. [20:01] i gotcha [20:01] devnull_: what on an NVIDIA card? [20:01] Zykotic-K9: Do you know where I could look for info? [20:01] sorry [20:01] read that wrong [20:01] Does anyone know why there would be something wrong between puredata and JACK? [20:01] NVIDIA drivers are good ... maybe a prob with compiz as a whole [20:01] if i install windows xp on a drive as a truecrypt hidden os and then boot winodws copy a linux install to the partition then i reboot after i try to boot things will go wrong because the partition contains some kinda loader for windows so i will be back to windows how do i replace that (from windows) with a lilo grub type thing such that linux boots instead [20:01] ZoeyMarie, sorry I really don't, good luck [20:01] you could try copying your compiz config out of where it is and let it create it again and maybe it will fix something [20:01] I have an opengl app that consistently crashes on nvidia. [20:02] devnull_: hmm... maybe [20:02] when i started using compiz i had to do a lot of fixing but the latest versions of ubuntu seem to have it set correctly [20:02] mikejet: you've got the right drivers installed?

[20:03] scatterp, ? [20:03] you could try E17 and see if that runs ... i know that uses composite [20:03] or xfce [20:03] mikejet: ubuntu gives you the possibility to install some restricted modules [20:03] if they also have the same issue there might be something up with compositing [20:03] percX: The problem is a "double free or corruption (fasttop)" problem. [20:03] devnull_: E16 works fine, as does Kwin. I don't have E17 on here. [20:03] percX : I absolutely am running the restricted things. [20:04] hi [20:04] gotcha [20:04] i would try another desktop using composite and see if it works [20:04] xfce uses composite i believe so it should be a good test [20:04] mikejet: you've got a recent version of glibc installed?

[20:47] trism: beat me to it :( [20:47] mwhahaha [20:47] ltcabral: I believe you need the FakeRaid package. [20:47] i just messed something up is there a quick key to bring up terminal? [20:47] what package ubutu uses to manage multiple monitors? [20:47] deviskec, this "might" help http://davestechsupport.com/blog/2009/01/16/how-to-remove-ubuntus-password-keyring/ [20:48] Darael: what is that for [20:48] BuGo_laptop: Well, Xorg, but as for configuring it... It depends on your graphics card and the drivers you use [20:48] resno: press ctrl+alt+f1 for console, press alt+f7 to return [20:48] thht: thanks [20:49] Darael and what is default for ubuntu? cause i had no problems with ubuntu and now i am in debian and wondering [20:49] i need some help mounting an encrypted partition. i do have the encryption passphrase, i just don't know how to do this from the command line. [20:50] ltcabral: I'm sorry, there's no such package. Take a look at dmraid. [20:50] zomg irc madness [20:50] mroc: never mountd an encrypted partition, but I imagine it'd be just like mounting a regular partition and it probably just asks for the passphrase before finishing it [20:51] mroc: how is it encrypted? [20:51] BuGo_laptop: the application is called gnome-display-properties [20:51] trism: dpkg -l | grep ii | grep linux-image gives nothing, so I erased alls? [20:51] mroc: like sudo mount /dev/encryptedpartition1 /media/mountpoint [20:51] Does anyone know how to mail a binary file from the command line as an attachement? [20:52] hello out there [20:52] BuGo_laptop: You could copy over your Xorg.conf from Ubuntu? [20:52] I was wondering what happens if you forget your password? [20:52] ddn: that is probably not good, did you erase your current kernel too? [20:52] how do I tell apt-get to install a certain version of a program? [20:52] is there a way to reset it? [20:52] BuGo_laptop: Debian has a very _very_ slow release cycle, so the version in Ubuntu is probably much newer. [20:53] Gnea, trijntje, thank you for your answers. i'm sorry, i'll have to return later. [20:53] as root you can chpasswd Username and do it. [20:53] BuGo_laptop: Unless, of course, you're using Sid. [20:53] doug_f: you can install mutt and use that [20:53] Darael, lenny :/ [20:53] sorry is there a way to reset your password for the IRC area. [20:53] you cant simply use mail? [20:53] grr [20:53] doug: how is chpasswd different to passwd [20:53] i can't remember my IRC registered password [20:54] ActionParsnip: wow i must be tired. [20:54] that wont work. [20:54] doug_f: ahhh chpsswd can take a text file as input, nice [20:54] how do probe for my video card type? [20:54] mrkrow: Ask for a rest in #freenode [20:54] mrkrow: reset rather. [20:54] resno: sudo lshw -C display [20:54] how do I tell apt-get to get the latest version of a command? [20:54] BuGo_laptop: Yeah, lenny's been around a while - Debian's focus is on stability rather than cutting-edgeness. Sid is a rolling release, but is "unstable". [20:55] resno, "lspci | grep VGA" [20:55] ActionParsnip: Zykotic-K9 thanks. [20:55] I have an issue with static in my sound, found out the master volume is adjusting the PCM at the same time. Is there a way to lock the PCM at 100% and just use the master? [20:56] Darael :/ hm.... maybe i should get back on ubuntu [20:56] i cant find any wine for download .. [20:56] I have an ati video card and wanto to dual screen. its currently mirrored how do i change that? [20:56] but ubuntu 9.04 used to crash for no reason [20:56] romeo: http://www.winehq.org/download/deb [20:56] if i install windows xp on a drive as a truecrypt hidden os and then boot winodws copy a linux install to the partition then i reboot after i try to boot things will go wrong because the partition contains some kinda loader for windows so i will be back to windows how do i replace that (from windows) with a lilo grub type thing such that linux boots instead [20:56] already used that tutorial, but dosn't work ..

I always thought testing alearn something every dayynd unstable were the other way round. Ah well, you [21:00] i dont get how something be complicated for one install and easy for the next.. [21:00] BuGo_laptop: Well then, you could try squeeze. Just because it's not debian-stable doesn't mean it's very likely to die on you. debian-stability is outrageous stability, if you see what I mean. [21:01] resno: c'est la vie [21:01] Darael, welll.... when ubuntu died 2 times in 1 hour... i wanted something more stable [21:01] ActionParsnip: is that, such is life?

[21:12] ddn, as root, type iptables -L [21:12] ddn: actually you can install gufw now [21:12] vocis, shows root .... /usr/sbin/cron and djp .... grep cron [21:13] ddn: it is the gui for ufw [21:13] djp, so cron *is* running, sorry, my bad [21:13] vocis, np [21:13] firestarter and ufw can not initialize iptables [21:13] ctmjr: still no desktop [21:13] djp, then, it should work fine. How do you know the cron command did not run? [21:13] djp, also, you can look at the contents of /var/log/syslog, for example using less: 'less /var/log/syslog' [21:14] djp, go to 22:00 and see if it ran the command [21:14] I think is not installed [21:14] djp, chances are that it did work [21:14] how can I install it?

The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Uncomplicated_Firewall_ufw), or 'iptables' (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo).

Thanks for the help, even if they were ridiculous questions. ;) [21:43] Zykotic-K9, coud it be the webcam its a new unit [21:43] preston, ? not sure [21:43] ZoeyMarie: no, they weren't - have fun :-) [21:44] if i turn it towards the light i get lots of yellows and whites [21:44] ctmjr: gparted is all I wanted, I'm sure it'll work if i had a suitable disk. I am on a netbook atm with no dvd/cd drive, is there a usb installer for it? [21:45] My sound worked perfectly a few days ago. Now, when using ALSA (via PulseAudio or not) it's nothing but faint static, and only out the right speaker. With OSS it's little better. Nothing out the left, except the occasional burst of sound. Right is at least lucid sound but still the occasional static. Any idea what the problem may be besides some hardware issue? [21:45] m1dlg: hold will check for you [21:45] (I can't say precisely when it started doing this. For the last few days I've been using my USB headset almost exclusively for sound and only just noticed how bad this has gotten.) [21:46] * cellofellow is very good with Linux but when it comes down to sound at the driver level forget it, I'm lost. [21:46] ctmjr: I have crunchbang working and it has gparted too, however if there is an installer and a .iso for gparted I'd love the link === _synk4 is now known as synk4 [21:47] Hi everyone!

[21:47] m1dlg: well here you go then say's it will install on a usb drive http://gparted.sourceforge.net/download.php [21:47] !anyone | SandWarMan [21:47] m1dlg: there's a Gparted livecd distro, but it doesn't really have anything that other livecd distros that happen to have gparted onboard don't. [21:47] SandWarMan: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [21:48] Oh, forgot to mention my soundcard is an Nvidia MCP51 Intel-HDA soundcard. It's onboard on my laptop motherboard. [21:48] cellofellow: cool, erm, ok [21:49] That's true, ubottu... Ok, here goes: I want to know if there is a way (script, program or whatever) to mail a file instead of printing it through the printing dialog. [21:50] SandWarMan: fyi, ubottu is a bot. [21:50] cellofellow: I have an idea i'm toying with and gparted is an ace tool, i wouldn't mind having a bootable 16gb drive (i have one spare) with assorted .iso's on and a menu mooting offering a choice of what to boot. great for rescue [21:50] That doesn't mean I shouldn't be polite, though. [21:50] hello [21:50] m1dlg: did you get the link i posted [21:51] SandWarMan: so, you want a virtual printer that sends an email? or something like that? [21:51] That's the idea, cellofellow [21:51] SandWarMan: why not just print to pdf and then email it? [21:51] ctmjr: sorry no, i'm monitoring 3 busy monitors at the moment [21:51] hi [21:51] Hello everyone ! How can I use internet in Single User Desktop mode [21:51] SandWarMan: hmmmm, not sure if that can be done without actually programming a virtual printer driver for CUPS... or something like that. [21:51] I could do that... but I'm sure there must be a way to pass the pdf printing [21:52] m1dlg: http://gparted.sourceforge.net/download.php say's it has a usb iso [21:52] hmmm [21:52] I like how that sounds, cellofellow :) [21:52] ctmjr: ta [21:52] It would be a challenge [21:52] SandWarMan: http://www.google.com/search?q=CUPS%20email [21:53] SandWarMan: looks possible but not well documented. [21:53] m1dlg: np [21:53] SandWarMan, this might be what you're looking for http://www.ohloh.net/p/cupsemailptr -- google for "cups print-to-email" gives several options [21:53] how can I see how much memory a process use if I know the command used to open it and the user running it?

[21:58] Has ie4linux been removed from the repos? [21:58] purpzey: it was never in the repos :) [21:58] sebsebseb: So, I have to compile it from source or getdeb? [21:58] wwig: my cd/dvd burner has bit the dust, but I used to use Brasero and it works fine. [21:58] purpzey: ie4linux was imo some years in the past [21:58] purpzey: also I hope your only using that, because your a web developer, and so want to test your webpages, in that horrible browser [21:59] purpzey: also that getdeb site isn't offical, and those debs can go werid on people [21:59] I have a problem with Brasero and CD [21:59] hiya sebsebseb [21:59] http://www.zdnet.com.au/insight/software/soa/No-thanks-Google-we-ve-got-Ubuntu/0,139023769,339297306,00.htm [21:59] purpzey: or whatever someone said [21:59] Ahoy. Moving some stuff from disc A to disc B in order to install fresh on a clean HDD... Issue: I'm trying to move XP from an 80GB HDD to a 40GB one. First plan was dd, but since the discs are different sizes (and the partitions too), I doubt the FS will cope very well with having the last 40GB of the disc gone... Suggestions? [21:59] sebsebseb: I need to use it to access a page that says it is IE only. [21:59] purpzey: wine-doors (from the wine website and repository) has a script download and install IE6. [21:59] it doesn't read the dimension of the empty cd [21:59] purpzey: there are other ways to get round that kind of nonsense [22:00] purpzey: changing the user agent string for example [22:00] burkmat: shirink the parition to ~40 GiB before moving it [22:00] purpzey: well that's the only way really [22:00] italia [22:00] iceroot, i have actually it was concerning my eee webcamand the thermalized lookim getting [22:00] !it | michele [22:00] michele: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese.

[23:32] steven_-> if your question is generic enuff, someone may be able to answer your question here [23:32] mroc, run something like: mount -t -o loop,encryption /dev/ [23:33] depends on what actual device this is and what type of filesystem and where your mount folder is according to that command layout [23:33] steven_: #linux ? [23:33] ewp: ok. is "encryption" just like that, or am i supposed to specify a type or anything? === grumete is now known as grumete|brb [23:34] mroc, not quite sure, try googling 'linux howto mount encrypted devices' [23:35] ewp: right, well, i did try that first, but there seems to be a lot of detail on different types of encryption and no clear method for how to simply do this. [23:35] mroc, well do you know your type of encryption? [23:36] ewp: no. it was set as an option during install to encrypt the home partition, but i don't know the details. [23:36] is upstart supported in intrepid? [23:36] what is upstart? [23:36] something that should replace init scripts [23:36] replace sysv init system [23:37] I'm trying to understand how to write an init script [23:37] oh yeah, I think its been around for a while, but they arent interchangeable with initd scripts [23:37] how do i best view log files from the command line? [23:37] djp, try tail to view the last fiew lines [23:38] dlumpkin, thanks [23:38] dlumpkin: can you recommend a tutorial or a book to understand how to write init script for a daemon? [23:39] mroc, this archive may help you out better. read this: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1090669.html [23:39] any help with trying to find a wired ethernet connection? Using Gnome Network Manager (wicp wasn't working well) [23:39] hypno: no the apps used to be found in my lower panel, I managed to get a windowchooser back now, but thats still not the same as default [23:39] WonderfunkJones, have you tried ifconfig from the terminal? [23:40] !upstart | dlumpkin [23:40] dlumpkin: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [23:40] dlumpkin: Yes but I don't know what the ethernet card's name is, it is onboard. === unix3 is now known as epaphus [23:40] WonderfunkJones, the onboard ethernet is usually under eth0 [23:41] dlumpkin: device not found [23:42] wonderfunkjones: have you tried ifconfig -a [23:42] my selected sources in gnome-volume-control for recording are being reverted to disabled when I close volume control. any ideas? [23:42] dlumpkin: Yes I have three entries, lo, pan0, and wlan 0 [23:42] WonderfunkJones: in terminal try lspci | grep -i ethernet [23:43] wonderfunkjones: what architecture are you running on? [23:43] legend2440: that gives me nothing [23:43] dlumpkin: the OS? 9.04 [23:43] wonderfunkjones: x86? [23:43] yes [23:44] whats the best search term to describe a CLI-gui, e.g i want to have a constantly running gui in the console not just prompt,command,prompt? [23:44] wonderfunkjones: hmm, sounds ugly, have you checked that your network card is supported [23:44] ewp: that was helpful. there was a line in there that says, use dm-crypt to mount the encrypted partition. this is what i'm looking for help with...how to do this by command line. [23:44] Rioting_Pacifist: xpra ? [23:45] dlumpkin: I would hope so, I think it's just a standard broadcom [23:45] Rioting_Pacifist: or "screen" (your question is confusing) [23:45] WonderfunkJones-> if you have it on board, perhaps the driver for it was not loaded, so try to reboot and see if it will get loaded, or reload it with modprobe [23:45] !screen > Rioting_Pacifist [23:45] Rioting_Pacifist, please see my private message [23:45] wonderfunkjones: yep, most broadcoms are supported [23:45] n8tuser: good call with the modprobe [23:45] n8tuser: what would the command be with modprobe? Apologies, I'm a Linux newbit [23:45] *e [23:46] WonderfunkJones-> modprobe modulename ; more details can be found by man modprobe [23:47] n8tuser: know of a website with a list of basic linux commands? [23:47] nah im writing a program and want to have a CLI interface (not just prompt->response though) something like sys-rc-conf(uses ncurses)/nano, instead of cat/ping [23:47] has there been any chatter about the current firefox (3.5) causing computers to reboot? [23:47] wonderfunkjones: the first step is to figure out what module you are looking for, a common broadcom module is tg3, but you may have to google your specific chipset [23:48] Rioting_Pacifist: so use ncurses or some higher-level library built on top of it? [23:49] I was wondering if there was anything other than ncurses, is that the best search term to use then? [23:49] ''curses'' :) [23:49] Rioting_Pacifist: what language are you programming in? [23:49] WonderfunkJones-> not off hand, i just google for it, and hit the 1st one or two or three === Sememmon_ is now known as Sememmon [23:51] jrib: erm probably python but might be bash/perl if its easier to do that sort of app using them [23:51] Rioting_Pacifist: for python I know of python-dialog and python-urwid [23:51] how can I find the log file which starts upon bootup? I saw a few error messages but it scrolled by too fast to catch.. [23:51] It's wonderfully odd, Ubuntu works with everything out of the box on my laptop, and I'm still struggling on my desktop to get audio and network working :S [23:51] I have Ubuntu 9.04 and Vista in a dual boot config, however, I have not touched my Vista partition in quite sometime and I'm wonder if I can non-destructively eliminate the Vista partition and add the extra free hdd space to my primary Ubuntu partition? Also, I would need to remove the Vista entry from the boot menu [23:52] What do I use to install a .run file [23:53] shawn_: what are you trying to install exactly? [23:53] A graphics driver [23:53] From the nvidia site [23:53] !nvidia | shawn_ [23:53] shawn_: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [23:53] LogicFan: I think you can use gparted for that, do you have it? [23:53] shawn_: use the repositories instead [23:53] LogicFan: what do you mean by non distructively? removing the vista partition will destroy vista, if your not using lvm you will need to use a liveCD to add the space to a ubuntu partition though [23:53] Oh really? [23:53] Hello, where does ubuntu store dhcp release info? [23:53] WonderfunkJones, Yes, I have gparted installed. [23:54] Rioting_Pacifist, i mean, i don't want to wipe my whole hdd. I just want to format the Vista partition and add the remaining space to my Ubuntu partition [23:54] epaphus-> what? a release? [23:54] dhcp releases [23:54] sorry [23:54] epaphus-> leases you meant? [23:55] look under /var/lib/dhcp3 [23:55] hi, I managed to break my grub (2) install and don't have a vmlinuz file anymore. I booted using one on a USB stick but understandably it broke during boot. How might I be able to regenerate this from inside a busy box shell early in the boot process? [23:56] LogicFan: unless you are using lvm, you should be able to see that with gparted, you will need to use an liveCD to do it safely but you should be fine. [23:56] i'm trying to access an encrypted partition from a live cd...i really need help on how to mount it. [23:56] Rioting_Pacifist, no, i'm not using lvm [23:56] <_kleski> anyone here using apache gallery? [23:57] mroc-> you need the encryption module loaded and then you can mount it per what was described to you earlier [23:57] well then you need to use a liveCD to change the partitions safely, but from a liveCD you will be able to add the space to your ubuntu install without loosing anything on your ubuntu install using gprated [23:57] howdy [23:58] a default ubuntu install under many settings will be using an lvm volume though which makes averything easier as you can do it live === d is now known as Guest21441 === Guest21441 is now known as DD [23:59]
Hi, I need to wipe ubuntu how do I do that. [23:59] What's the difference between a system group and a normal group? [23:59] LogicFan: easiest way to find out if your using lvm or not is "sudo lvs" [23:59] n8tuser: so modprobe ... what module?
