[00:00] Rioting_Pacifist, command not found. and I checked in gparted and the lvm flag is not set for / [00:00] DD: install something over that [00:00] Rioting_Pacifist, the Vista partition is set with the boot flag though [00:01] LogicFan: ok well then you need to do all the partition editing from a liveCD, if you boot through grub it doesn't matter. [00:01] #LISP [00:01] Rioting_Pacifist, thanks, will i still need to edit the grub menu after formating and merging the partitions? [00:01] #lisp [00:03] LogicFan: you will need to remove vista so it doesn't show in the menu, but the system will still boot fine if you dont edit grub (aslong as the partition number doesn't change) [00:03] #ubuntu-es [00:03] I just installed rtorrent with Package Manager and it won't launch (Alt+F2 'rtorrent) -- any thoughts?

[00:06] n8tuser: could you be specific about what module i need to load and how? [00:06] Rioting_Pacifist, Thank you. I thought rtorrent was gui app -- what can I use that is gui-based?

[00:07] night [00:08] Hi, I can't refresh ppa, is the server down? [00:09] anyone familiar with the command 'dig'? [00:09] jeisma, I use it all the time on my venezuelan slave laborers [00:10] jeisma: kinda is it for dns lookups? [00:10] fbianconi: yes, i want to use the +trace query option [00:10] fbianconi: but when i do, the answer is very brief and not wha tit should be [00:11] fbianconi: instead of displaying the root, tld, etc. it just says "Received 17 bytes from 192.168.1.1#53(192.168.1.1) in 2 ms" [00:11] fbianconi: after its standard initial message [00:11] fbianconi: http://outsourcedclue.com/2009/04/13/supporting-dig-trace-using-an-unbound-recursive-dns-server/ [00:12] should look like that [00:12] but instead its not [00:12] linuxguy could you open a chat with me [00:12] how do I close an app using the command line? (nicely closing, no forcing it) [00:13] jeisma: demonspork might know better than I [00:13] eyalw: kill pid [00:13] Hey all, what package do I install to get those fancy "themes" for screen? [00:13] Like trheres a dark profile, light profile [00:13] eyalw or killall programName [00:13] Does the ppa website woorks for you? [00:13] demonspork: could you help me with my dig problem? [00:13] kevin|demarest: but that's forcing it, not the same as the program Quit option [00:14] I can't update and [00:14] eyalw: you said via the command line. What is the difference between the quit option and using kill? [00:15] jeisma, I was making a joke, sorry, don't know anything about dig [00:15] !info dig [00:15] Package dig does not exist in jaunty [00:15] Hm [00:15] !dig [00:15] Sorry, I don't know anything about dig [00:15] kevin|demarest: kill forces the app to exit, quit lets the app do user interactive cleanup 1st [00:15] kevin|demarest: well, if I kill a text editor, it won't ask me to save [00:15] Alright, wellt thanks anyway. [00:15] Oo [00:16] any idea why my volume controls only work half way and up? its like if i turn the volume half way and down i dont get any sound its like there is so low sound levels === TwoD_ is now known as TwoD [00:16] Zykotic-K9: are you there? === Alex`` is now known as Alex_Finlay === fred_ is now known as Guest54337 [00:16] Rioting_Pacifist: like asking a user to save before closing? [00:16] so, is there a way to nicely ask an application to quit using the command line [00:16] Hello, I notice that gparted reports the wrong HDD capacity - it is reporting ~300GB but the drive is 350GB. Do you know what would cause this to occur? [00:17] eyalw: I only kill programs in a terminal if it has issues or I'm experimenting [00:17] eyalw: im not sure, there will be via dbus [00:17] eyalw: I should say, I only close a program in term if I can't close it within the program [00:18] System Monitor reports the same (incorrect) HDD size [00:18] !dbus [00:18] Sorry, I don't know anything about dbus [00:19] eyalw: well if you start the program within a terminal, you can press cntrl-c a lot of the time :) [00:19] eyalw: erm i said dbus i meant to say dbus or something, however there may be a signal that can be sent with the correct kill command but im not sure [00:19] eyalw: hmmm, I suppose that's the same as kill [00:20] I'm pretty sure I can send a signal to it like SIGQUIT, or SIGTERM [00:21] no manual entry for sigquit or sigterm [00:21] eyalw: that's what kill does [00:22] kill use SIGKILL [00:22] wrong. [00:22] kill uses SIGKILL when you tell it to. [00:22] so there is not way to nicely quit an application [00:22] *no [00:22] that's not in the man page for kill [00:22] kill -TERM pid, kill -QUIT pid [00:23] or you can use killall to kill by name [00:23] ah, that makes sense [00:23] you can also use pkill to kill by name [00:24] now I want to try what prince_jammys said :) [00:24] SIGTERM is sent by default [00:24] kill -TERM pid same as kill pid [00:25] its nice, but it force it to quit [00:25] eyalw: it's the program's job to react to signals. [00:25] all you can do from another shell is kill it [00:26] you can try kill -HUP pid [00:26] anyone knows how to configure grub2 using UUID's??? [00:26] if well, thanks anyway [00:27] the battery sensor on my msi wind u100 is completely screwed up. It has about 4 hours of battery, but it shuts off at ~"50%" battery according to sensors [00:27] How can I make karmic to use grub2 instead of grub1.5 (I updated from jaunty). [00:28] ??? [00:28] thiblHET: try at #ubuntu+1 , the channel for karmic. [00:28] has anyone had similar experiences? [00:28] is there some way to "reset this" so that the battery dies at "0%" not "50%"? [00:29] does anyone use Ubuntu 9.04? if yes please help me, go to firefox -> edit -> preference -> content and tell me the settings for default fonts.

[00:31] test_: np, but thats just the sort of rule of thumb, you may find more usefull depending on the apps you use [00:32] norstrom: Does it work for you, I get "unvailable page" as for all wiki pages. [00:32] ? [00:32] test_: how big is your harddrive [00:32] When I try to log in on my Ubuntu machine nothing happens. The wallpaper is there and I'm able to move the mouse around. But there's no gnome-panel etc. What do I do? [00:32] I'll reserve 8 then, so I can make it larger later (I will make it 4 for now) [00:32] thiblHET: yes that link works fine for me [00:33] sagaci it's 1tb, i will be slotting a windows drive back in when complete so might move swap to that anyway [00:33] I need some help with remote desktop [00:33] I'm thinking through every step of this install carefully [00:33] How do I allow someone outside my LAN to access my desktop? [00:34] norstrom: I don't understand what is wrong here. [00:34] Cerrdor: is the remote cpu linux or windows [00:34] kbp: starting from top to bottom Fonts for: Western Serif size 16 serif sans-serif monospace size 12 [00:34] thiblHET, try killall gnome-panel [00:34] Ubuntu 9.04 [00:34] sagaci: cpus are not linux or windows [00:34] thiblHET, tell if the panels start [00:34] thiblHET: yeah, not sure why you would not be able to view that page [00:34]
I need to unintall ubuntu so I can install windows as a dual boot. how do I wipe ubuntu [00:34] thiblHET, do that with alt+F2 [00:34] linxeh: "has the remote computer got linux or windows installed?" [00:34] I would like to encode an audio CD in MP3 format with Rhythmbox, but MP3 doesn't show up in the "Preferred format" dropdown under the "Music" tab in "Preferences." But it IS listed under the Edit... area. How can I pick MP3 so I can encode in that format in Rhythmbox? Thanks. [00:35] DD, no you dont have to althought it is easier to install windows first [00:35] legend2440: thank you very much for your time :) [00:35] DD: Why do you want to use Windows? [00:35] Would it be regarded as completely insane to have both QT3 and QT4 installed on a system? [00:35] kbp: your welcome [00:35] sagaci: totally different question. OK, I'm a pedant, but such artistic licence causes much confusion at times :P [00:35] DD, you would have to reinstall grub I believe to pick up the ubuntu/windows install [00:35] Josh__: not sure if you can just do that [00:36] Josh__: you can have KDE 3 installed as well as KDE 4 though === grumete|brb is now known as grumete [00:36] sagaci Ubuntu 9.04 [00:36] sebsebseb, Do you know if QT4 is backward compatible with QT3 apps? [00:36]
coz, I my ubuntu is a little messed up and I am new to linux, I dont want to go throught the steps to fix my ubuntu, then fix grub. I jsut want to wipe ubuntu, install windows and then install ubuntu again. [00:36] DD, go here and scroll down to "Installing windows after https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot [00:37]
coz I NEED to reinstall ubuntu anyway. going to do it no matter what. [00:37] ramvi: can you get to a terminal ctrl + alt + f2 [00:37] ctmjr: OK. what now? [00:38] DD: ok well depending on what Windows programs you want to run, you can use Wine :) also with enough RAM you can virtual machine most Windows programs rather nicely inside Ubuntu in a Windows virtual machine [00:38]
seb, will i have to load windows everytime I do a virtual machine? [00:38] DD: not if you leave your computer on [00:38] queso_: tried here and same thing, looking into it [00:39] DD: you switch between the host Ubuntu, and the guest Windows, and right ctrl by default to get back to Ubuntu, this is with Virtualbox [00:39]
seb, I have been here before. I must have windows, the ONLY solution is dual boot. [00:39]
how do I wipe ubuntu [00:39]
can I just format the partition? [00:39] DD, no need to wipe it [00:39] DD: depends on what Windows programs you want to run, and you never answered that [00:39] DD, did you get that link I gave you? [00:40] ramvi: run this then reboot see if it fixes it rm -rf .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity what it does is remove the configure files for gnome but when you restart they will be replaced with the default configurations [00:40] DD, ok then just download Dban and wipe the drive [00:40]
I NEED TO REINSTALL MINT [00:40] Hey.... [00:40] !mint | dd [00:40] dd: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mintsupport), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), crunchbang (support in #crunchbang) [00:40] ctmjr: cool thanks [00:40] DD, burn Dban to a cd boot into it and follow the instructions ...depending on the size of the hard drive it can take all night to wip[e [00:40] DD, I meant wipe [00:41] coz_: Dban isn't needed by the average computer user [00:41] sebsebseb, I disagree but however you use it :) [00:41] Pardon me my previous remark, I was inadvertentlyt being a bit too iberal with the CoC here [00:41]
thanks coz I did that before I setup this system. I think just a format will work. [00:41] Hello People. [00:41] DD, thats fine also [00:41] guys, what's a good plugin for flash in firefox? [00:41] coz_: if he was going to sell his computer to someone, well then it might be a good idea to use that program first [00:41] DD, I prefer wiping but since this is not problem install a format should do it [00:41] just got 9.04 up and running. is there a good reason to try to use the ATI-specific drivers for my Radeon-9800-based video board, or is it best to just stick with the stock drivers? [00:42] I installed gnash but FF is still not showing the flash applets? [00:42] DD: use the Ubuntu livecd, and save your hot data... Erase all partitions, reinstall, first Windows (it's easyer), then Ubuntu... cos' Ubuntu will know howto handle Windows, but Windows won't... [00:42] anyone know how I can allow my office PC to connect remotely to my home Linux via remote desktop? [00:42] sebsebseb, I build repair etc etc computers for residential and corporate clients I never allow a system out of the workshop without having been wiped and reinstalled first [00:42] jgarbers: if you want to do stuff like compiz/3d gaming then you'll need the ATI drivers otherwise stick with radeon as they are more stable [00:42]
I have a live cd, will that have a format option. so I can format the swap partition and the mint partition? [00:43] coz_: good, but he isn't giving his computer to someone else I think? [00:43] sebsebseb, I do it on all my own systems as well [00:43] Rioting_Pacifist: thanks. I like "stable". But from what little I've heard of compiz I'd like to try that too... [00:43] can someone help me with sound configuration for epsxe? [00:43] sebsebseb, OS's run much smoother after a wipe [00:43] I am trying to install Eternal SPU plugin 1.41 [00:44] anyone? [00:44]
Is there a way to format a single partition using a live cd? [00:44] coz_: a format is all that is needed usuaully unless... we have already done the unless [00:44] okay, dumb one... what's the easiest way to get and install the ATI drivers? Google's giving me a bunch of forum posts that are out of date... [00:44] sebsebseb, as I said I disagree :) [00:44] !ati | jgarbers [00:44] jgarbers: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [00:44]
When I say format I mean format not low level format [00:44] Hi I'm running arch here and I'm wanting something more stable and integrated for my research... and the suggestion of my teacher was Ubuntu. My question is, I remeber that adding ppas in Ubuntu would make the upgrade a lot harder/break is that still true? [00:45] jgarbers: not on ubuntu atm but there should be a program called hardware drivers just open that [00:45] DD: yeah its in the system tab on the Ubuntu desktop [00:45]
thanks cerrdor, will check it out. [00:45] okay, so I made a USB boot disk for 9.04 using USB creator disk. When I try and boot it, it crashes on VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unkown-block(104,1) [00:45] and it just stays there, forever.

[00:48] I cant put in 192.168.0.102 :5000 in my browser at work its off the lan [00:48] ah. so the lack of an entry here doesn't mean there are no drivers *installed*, it means there aren't any *to* install?

I'd have to search the web to find any answers to what you want to do [01:04] norstrom: eventually, I'd like to get it working with qjoypad so I can use it in place of my keyboard/mouse for gaming [01:04] kevin|demarest: should I search for how to rebuild gnome perhaps? [01:04] hi, please help! i want o reformat my usb stick. gparted doesn't want me to... [01:05] it is on sdb [01:05] JeoTheLeo: have you tried: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg ? [01:05] JeoTheLeo: no [01:05] JeoTheLeo: are you serious? [01:05] RegressLess: when you plug it in and run dmesg do you see something like http://paste.ubuntu.com/275571/ [01:06] prince_jammys: I can't connect to the internet from the CLI [01:06] prince_jammys: do you know how to connect from there? [01:06] how stable is xfs on ubuntu these days? [01:07] agliodbs: it's not that used, and it will be ok with a seperate /boot in Ext3 [01:07] agliodbs: I never had any problems I couldn't fix... [01:07] JeoTheLeo: try a cli browser: www-browser http://google.com [01:07] agliodbs: Ext4 is optional in 9.04 :) and default in 9.10 [01:07] JeoTheLeo: why aren't you just booting into the old kernel from the grub menu...? [01:07] norstrom: much more than that, but yes, that is also there [01:07] hello, when i start dhcp3-server and check status it says it is running but after a while when i check the stats it says it is not running but PID exists.. anyone have any idea??? [01:07] agliodbs: might have an issue or two for some though, but most it's fine [01:08] prince_jammys: JeoTheLeo said earlier that he wasn't able to ping [01:08] jrib: that's what I'm booting into...the new one gives me a PCI error I suppose [01:08] sebsebseb: would you use ext4 for a boot device at this point? [01:08] RegressLess: yeah theres a bunch of stuff before that, but at least we know the system sees the pad [01:08] JeoTheLeo: ok, so X wasn't working before then? [01:08] agliodbs: Avoid it if you need to access your drive from Windows [01:09] norstrom: zsnes lets me set the controls, but only start works, none of the other buttons work [01:09] hello, when i start dhcp3-server and check status it says it is running but after a while when i check the stats it says it is not running but PID exists.. anyone have any idea??? [01:09] agliodbs: It isn't backwards compatible [01:09] mattgirv: windows can access ext3? [01:09] agliodbs: I have used 9.04 for / and /home in 9.04, and so on. Really nice fast boot up, disck checking after 23 or so boots, and shut down. Thing is if big files are deleted from it, there might be a kernel lock up issue, but other then that it's pretty much fine really in 9.04. [01:09] anyway, this is for a server [01:09] norstrom: I probably have something conflicting--I've tried several things thus far [01:09] agliodbs: Well it is, but not strictly in the driver sense. Yes it can (not natively) [01:09] agliodbs: for a proper server say a commerical one or something like that you should be using 8.04 [01:10] !8.04 | agliodbs [01:10] agliodbs: Ubuntu 8.04-LTS (Hardy Heron) was the eighth release of Ubuntu. Downloading: http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04 - See !lts for more details. [01:10] sebsebseb: nah, this is just a server for my own use [01:10] RegressLess: I'm not familliar with the nes emu's, my pad does work fine with mame though [01:10] jrib: it was...then I tried upgrading my kernel...here are the commands I was following:http://wiki.x.org/wiki/Development/git [01:10] agliodbs: well servers don't get booted up usaully, so Ext3 should be rather fine for one [01:11] agliodbs: [01:11] errk [01:11] So on the newer Ubuntus [Karmic Koala in this case], now that there's no xorg.conf, what's the preferred method of setting parameters. Specifically I need to set synclient TapButton2 = 2 somewhere so that my two-finger click works as a middle-click since that seems to have been changed in KK [01:11] hi [01:11] i have a question, this probably isnt the best place to ask it. but its as close as i can get [01:11] jrib: after that, the new versions didn't work...and when I tried my old one, it sent me to the CLI [01:11] JeoTheLeo: you're building more than a new kernel there... [01:11] agliodbs: http://www.fs-driver.org/ [01:11] anyone know anything about android? [01:11] mattgirv: uhmm that's not what he wants [01:11] jrib: I didn't go past the kernel part [01:11] I know I could set it as a script that runs at login ,but I'd prefer that it be the default and work for any users who log in [01:11] !9.10 | doubletwist [01:11] avielfox, what do you need to find out? [01:11] JeoTheLeo: then none of that would affect X at all [01:11] doubletwist: Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 29th, 2009 - Karmic WILL break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [01:12] im planning on buying an archos 5 internet tablet [01:12] sebsebseb: No, he seemed surprised that Windows could access Ext2/3 filesystems though so I thought I'd send that to him for personal reference [01:12] kthx [01:12] RegressLess: have you checked the zsnes forums? theres a whole section on controllers there [01:12] just would like to know if it is stable [01:12] avielfox, yeah its very stable. [01:12] jrib, so where did I go wrong? [01:12] mattgirv: oh ok, and it's better really to keep Windows away from Linux partitions :) unless it's a data only partition, but even then hmm. yes I am thinking about for example nasty viruses that can delete everything on a Windows install [01:13] thankyou mattgyver [01:13] avielfox, its really only for mobile devices though, and.. thats about all its good for currently [01:13] mattgyver: and if Linux partitions are mounted in Windows, well they will do those as well probably [01:13] JeoTheLeo: no idea. But if all you did was compile that new kernel and now you have booted into the old kernel it is impossible for it to be the cause of your current woes [01:13] jrib: menuconfig perhaps? [01:13] sebsebseb: Sure, I wouldn't recommend continual usage, its handy for sharing/retrieving documents though [01:13] ok, thanks for advice [01:13] well it is a mobile devide [01:13] device [01:13] after installing kernel 2.6.29 with apt in jaunty, the kernel fails to boot. it tries to load devide by-uuid, and succeeds, but then tries to mount several stuff in a different uuid. i checked that uuid, it corresponds to swap device. what may I do to prevent this? [01:13] mattgirv: also Ubuntu and other distros, can read and write to NTFS no problem, as long as Windows shut it down properly [01:13] fwiw, ubuntu server install is much better than the last time I used it (2006) [01:14] sebsebseb: Yes, its handy to have it work both ways. I sadly get stuck in Windows from time to time [01:14] avielfox, i have an android g1 and i love it [01:14] mattgyver: Why? [01:14] I was able to somehow install and run bitchx last night, though i closed the terminal and. How do I get it back up and running? [01:14] JeoTheLeo: maybe you overwrote some modules, idk [01:14] sebsebseb, ? [01:14] nice [01:14] jrib: so how do I restore them? [01:14] ever heard of the archos 5? [01:14] JeoTheLeo: reinstall from the repository [01:14] or archos in general? [01:14] mattgyver: Wine or VM of Windows, depending on the apps? [01:14] mattgyver: and RAM if you don't have enough for a VM [01:15] jrib: liveCD then? [01:15] can someone please point me to a url about which ubuntu releases are the long-term ones, and whether the upcoming koala one will be? [01:15] norstrom: most refer to windows :P [01:15] JeoTheLeo: sure [01:15] !lts | snail [01:15] snail: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Hardy (Hardy Heron 8.04). The next LTS release is scheduled to be 10.04 [01:15] hello, when i start dhcp3-server and check status it says it is running but after a while when i check the stats it says it is not running but PID exists.. anyone have any idea??? [01:15] for some reason im not able to change my volume levels in ubuntu, only in programs and like youtube [01:15] jrib: how do I install from liveCD onto my partition though? [01:15] prince_jammys: thanks [01:15] avielfox, avoid teh archos, terrible customer service for a device like anyother pda [01:15] my volume can be muted in ubuntu and i still hear sounds [01:15] snail: welcome [01:16] JeoTheLeo: get the debs for what you want to install on your partition then use dpkg [01:16] sebsebseb, !=mattgirv [01:16] JeoTheLeo: why were you rebuilding your kernel for intel? [01:16] ok, can you please supply the commands? [01:16] norstrom: want to help me make sense of these instructions? http://ubuntu.bryanludvigsen.com/?p=41 === keldin is now known as keldin_away [01:16] kevin|demarest: I wanted to enable 3D graphics acceleration for games [01:17] avielfox: test_: yes - terrible devices. I still have the older gen and they charge more for plugins like ability to play aac sound more than the player itself. Also terrible battery life, no charger, terrible contacts everywhere, fragile screen, horrible, horrible french garbage === francisco is now known as Francis_Albert [01:17] mattgyver: oh I see I messaged you when meant to of messaged mattgirv [01:17] JeoTheLeo: I really doubt this is the case though. No I cannot supply the commands. You're compiling kernels, you need to be willing to read and learn [01:17] sebsebseb, its no problem i just want to make sure he sees your response :D [01:17] JeoTheLeo: what games? [01:17] mattgyver: ok :) [01:17] JeoTheLeo: if this is too difficult, just reinstall, come back here, and ask for help with your issue before compiling your own kernel [01:18] craparooni [01:18] yofrankie...ufo alien invasion....etc. [01:18] bad burn of the ubuntu disk [01:18] JeoTheLeo: are those FOSS? [01:18] jrib, I'll give it my best shot, I just don't want to mess things further [01:18] !md5sum | agliodbs [01:18] agliodbs: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [01:18] yeah, I did the on-boot check [01:18] failed [01:18] burning again [01:18] agliodbs: ok check your ISO as well [01:19] sebsebseb: Visual Studio doesn't run too great under Wine :p And a VM is alright now and then but sometimes its easier to just boot into Windows if I'm stuck with it all day :( [01:19] I do believe so kevin|demarest [01:19] JeoTheLeo: if you're data is backed up and you have a live cd...it shouldn't be that big a problem === comfnumb is now known as pencapchew [01:19] JeoTheLeo: interesting [01:19] * kevin|demarest rubs his chin [01:19] mattgirv: I see, why you doing that anyway? Python and stuff like that would be better to learn :) [01:19] kevin|demarest: want a nice linux-games link? [01:19] sebsebseb: Its not out of choice, well it is.. but I get paid alright :) [01:20] JeoTheLeo: did you try the intel graphics drivers ppa before you tried building a new kernel? [01:20] mattgirv: I see, and I guess the apps your making are closed source hmm [01:20] !freedom | mattgirv [01:20] mattgirv: freedom is important. Ubuntu is as free as we can make it, which means mostly free software. See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/licensing [01:20] Aye :( [01:20] JeoTheLeo: I want you to have a system that is functioning [01:20] mattgirv: as in yes? [01:20] can someone help me with these instructions: http://ubuntu.bryanludvigsen.com/?p=41 or help me set up a dev with these source files: http://qjoypad.sourceforge.net/#download brb [01:20] kevin|demarest: ppa? [01:20] sebsebseb: Fortunately the programs I make that happen to be closed source aren't too interesting anyway [01:21] back [01:21] sebsebseb: Mostly database related apps for a prison I work at :p [01:21] mattgirv: ah ok [01:21] JeoTheLeo: personal packages archive [01:21] !ppa [01:21] With Launchpad's Personal Package Archives (PPA), you can build and publish binary Ubuntu packages for multiple architectures simply by uploading an Ubuntu source package to Launchpad. See https://help.launchpad.net/PPAQuickStart. [01:21] JeoTheLeo: are you a developer? [01:21] sebsebseb: Open Source all the way if it ain't going to get my ass sued by someone with lots of money :) [01:21] kevin|demarest: no [01:22] kevin|demarest: I'd like to be one in the not-so-far future though [01:22] Hello [01:22] JeoTheLeo: likewise [01:22] dos anyone know if you can run ispconfig with iredmail? [01:22] RegressLess: I tried to install/build zsnes but it does not seem to like my 64bit proc [01:22] mattgirv: yep probably not === MK-ubuntu is now known as MK-BB [01:23] JeoTheLeo: ifconfig doesn't show any network devices? [01:23] I could reboot from the HDD and try... [01:24] dos anyone know if you can run ispconfig with iredmail? [01:24] but I want to have more commands up my sleeve before rebooting again [01:24] i have ubuntu on 3 different machines with openssl server. how come on some the login responds instantly and some it pauses for about 15 seconds before asking for the password? [01:25] JeoTheLeo: ifconfig, startx [01:25] JeoTheLeo: lynx [01:25] CppIsWeird, yeah that happens to me too, not sure why [01:25] JeoTheLeo: sudo apt-get lynx [01:25] norstrom: did you try through add/remove? [01:26] I tried [01:26] koganei, heh, glad im not crazy then. :P [01:26] norstrom: haven't tried 64 bit in a loooong time, but I've got the pc for it [01:27] RegressLess: no actuall, I was try'n to do a build but I'll grab from repos [01:28] sudo apt-get lynx? or install lynx? [01:28] JeoTheLeo: sudo apt-get install lynx [01:28] ok [01:28] but that's when I connect [01:28] can someone that has 2.6.29 kernel do a: cat /boot/config-2.6.28-1-netbook|grep CONFIG_REISERFS_FS ? and tell me if it is supported there? [01:28] oops, wrong kernel.. just a second [01:28] RegressLess: BOOO! No 64bit support or option for zsnes [01:28] JeoTheLeo: yeah. ifconfig lists networking hardware. I don't remember the command for restarting networking [01:29] replace that config, with the appropriate for a 2.6.29 kernel that may be installed [01:29] Is there any way to continue an incomplete installation of Jaunty? I thought the laptop was plugged in and went to bed... apparently the battery died before grub got installed. No /boot/grub directory and I get an 'error 17' [01:29] for some reason, mine doesnt have reiserfs support [01:29] mnemonic76, why not just start over? it would be much easier [01:29] JeoTheLeo, kevin|demarest ; to restart network should be, sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [01:29] kevin|demarest: net join? [01:30] JeoTheLeo: I was thinking /etc/init.d/networking restart [01:30]
Dasei, I see. OK, I can use the life cd, unmount all my drives and then format the specific partition. Thanks! [01:30] The laptop cant boot to cd, I have to set up a PXE server and let it download EVERYTHING! It would suck... [01:30] norstrom: lame! sorry, I'm in and out as it's time for the kids to go to bed [01:30] RegressLess: no worries [01:31] DD:np [01:31] aha, so the init.d directory isn't loading? [01:31] CppIsWeird: I guess that is what I will do if need be... I am booted into sysrescuecd right now (chatting) and have the hd for the laptop mounted... is there some way to fix? [01:32] JeoTheLeo: beats me === tyler is now known as barnburner [01:32] anyone have any experience modifying a LTSP installation to have the LTSP Clients connect to a random RDP_REMOTE IP Address [01:32] I'll install irssi if I was able to connect to the internet from there [01:32]
sorry about the delay... My five year old decided to paint the dog. Hard to get mad... its water based. Collies will put up with anything is a kid is doing it. LOL [01:32] JeoTheLeo, im trying to follow what your doing, mind explaining again? [01:32] ttyl and thanks [01:32] JeoTheLeo: vi /etc/init.d/networking [01:32] JeoTheLeo: good luck [01:33] mattgyver: I tried this http://wiki.x.org/wiki/Development/git [01:33] DD: you maybe missed me with some person whom cares with it [01:33] hey irc...i have a file in the trash and I try to restore it and it says that there is an error and that items in the trash cant be modifeid...is this a permissions issue? [01:33] JeoTheLeo, oh wow, thats nothing I have any idea about :( [01:33] us* [01:33] JeoTheLeo, Ill let you know when im as cool as you [01:33] mattgyver: after that I tried doing the sudo gnome-update.....there wasn't such command.....so I switched onto update-gnome [01:34] * JeoTheLeo rethinks [01:34] * JeoTheLeo reconsiders what he did [01:34] hi.. i have a problem... how fix my usuntu session if my login time is less 10 seconds__ [01:34]
abcdeft... if you are going to insult someone... learn to speak the language [01:34] JeoTheLeo, I didnt even know there was either gnome-update or update-gnome until you just said that [01:34] ubuntu: I don't understand your question [01:34] what do people use to mount iso files? [01:35]
Dasei, later and thanks again. [01:35] peeps_: mount program [01:35] mattgyver: I play a lot without reading instructions properly...:S [01:35] peeps_, sudo mount -o loop /path/to/isofile.iso i think [01:35] peeps_: you can loop mount them.. mount -o file.so /path [01:35] JeoTheLeo, mattgyver: gnome-update or update-gnome isn't in http://wiki.x.org/wiki/Development/git [01:35] peeps_: I mean mount command [01:35] i thought there used to be a nautilus right click option, but i don't see it anymore [01:35] (mount -o loop file.so /path) [01:35] woah [01:35] one sec [01:35] i can use archive mounter, but that doesn't seem to be the same [01:36] ubuntu: sometimes that error springs up with bad .ICEauthority file permissions. Did you change the permissions of files inside your home directory? [01:36] yeah sorry, update-grub [01:36] :S === cat_ is now known as Guest70213 [01:36] peeps, make a directory and mount to that directory, mkdir /media/isodir && mount -o loop ~/path/to/iso /media/isodir [01:36] peeps_, is my cats name ';) [01:36] sorry, my head's thinking gnome's busted [01:37] mattgyver, :-D [01:37] JeoTheLeo, The purpose of the gnome-update your talking about, is it just to update gnome ?? [01:37] how to make voice call in ubuntu [01:37] mattgyver: it's update grub [01:37] grub-update and update-grub...not gnome...sorry [01:37] kevin|demarest, aha!

[01:39] barnburner, probably not it could be corrupt, but you could try to do a ls -l, i dont have a clue what the trash directory is though ;l [01:39] JeoTheLeo: I'll check it out [01:39] how to execute c program in ubuntu [01:39] mycomputer: try compiling it.. [01:40] Are there any compatibility issues with the Dell Mini 10? [01:40] mycomputer, you have to compile the program with make, but you need to make sure you have gcc and build essentials.. probably easier to goggle it.

Also make sure they have logins...

[02:57] DasEi: it seems I must insert UDI instead of /dev/sdb5, how do I find it? [02:57] Tulaneadam21: few factors can cause this, weak hardware, slow connection, bad dispalydriver; to much refresh of ff in background, wrong codecs [02:58] It says command not found [02:58] mercutio22: udi ? uuid : sudo blkid [02:58] shawn_: dunno [02:58] will do [02:58] will do [02:58] Tulaneadam21: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [02:58] WOuld logging in and out be the equivelant of restarting X?

[03:40] Im wondering if that recommendation has changed for ubuntu/vista [03:40] binMonkey: heh was afraid of that [03:40] demonspork, setup conky in your startup applications with the following command to apply the file, conky -c /etc/conky/.conkyrc [03:40] hi [03:40] I'm trying to get scribblenauts running on desmume but the touch screen is just all blue or green depending on the screen.

[03:44] Steve132: ext3 works perfectly in windows [03:44] Steve132: depends on your application [03:44] ext3 on windows works better than ntfs on linux [03:44] MrFSL: yes, they work ok, but for me it was a pain, and had to always re-set it up every time I wanted to use it, sorry looking interface too.

[03:46] shane2peru, ext3 actually works great in all versions of windows with ext2ifs drivers. every once and a while you will have fsck complain while you are booting Linux after being in windows, but I have never had any problems with data or partitions while using the windows drivers [03:46] MrFSL: well, I was a windows user then. :) [03:46] Ben64: I haven't been able to get ex2ifs to work ever. I've tried it 4 times on 3 different computers each [03:46] Steve132: I have used NTFS for this without issue. I don't recommend FAT32 due to file size limitations [03:47] well you're doing it wrong [03:47] demonspork: I'm not into windows now days, all my computers are filled with Linux. :) and virus free, I was just curious to the discussion [03:47] i've never had it not work [03:47] trying to get to the pkcs headers and can't [03:47] Tulaneadam21:open ff-browser [03:47] Ben64: ok, then how should I do it? It seemed pretty straightforward [03:47] it is straightforward : / [03:48] Tulaneadam21: choose new tab, put in adressbar : about:config [03:48] xc [03:48] 1. download and run http://www.fs-driver.org/download/Ext2IFS_1_11a.exe; 2. done [03:48] demonspork: I thought they were ugly and difficult to get to work they r/w-ed fine, just not a very good interface - that was then this is now. :) === adam is now known as Guest79349 [03:48] yeah, I did the instructions, installed the installer, etc. Never works. We can go back and forth about how awesome it is in your reality, but unless there is like some sort of commonly made error I made, it doesn't work for me [03:48] Ben64: hold up one second. Accessing ntfs is already built in to both O/Ss. can you give a reason why to use the ext2/3 drivers for this applicaiton? [03:48] hi folks. i can hear audio via flash in firefox and via rythembox; but i cant hear audio via xmms2 or aplay. error here: http://pastie.org/625458 ... ideas? (jaunty with nvidia mobo with intel-hda sound) [03:49] MrFSL: because linux doesn't support ntfs as well as the ifs driver supports ext3 [03:49] MrFSL: In the past, NTFS support was a bit flaky with creating new files [03:49] Tulaneadam21: in field filter, search for : browser.sessionstore.interval [03:49] hi [03:49] plus, ext3 is a better filesystem format [03:49] MrFSL: but a google search reveals that there is a new ntfs-3g driver that was made in 2006 [03:49] !hello | henryhenryhenry [03:49] henryhenryhenry: Hi!

[03:50] Steve132: it is this ntfs-3g / fuse driver that is installed by default in Ubuntu [03:50] MrFSL: ntfs has some VERY serious performance issues when you need to do a fair amount of IO.

To increase limit one has to either upgrade to a 64bit version or update the kernel with a PAE aware kernel. Would you all agree? [03:54] No, ignore Ben64! [03:54] ignore everyone except for me [03:54] synaptic has lighttpd, install it there for great justice [03:54] hey all [03:55] hi jimbeam12 [03:55] so I musty get a tar.gz after that? what is the next thing to do?

[03:56] i install bluefish but its not in under system or application tabs [03:56] i'm so confused [03:56] henryhenryhenry: the next thing to do is read the links that were sent to you by ubottu but to install software the easiest way would be to use the Synaptic package Manger that can be found under System > Administration [03:56] henryhenryhenry: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!synaptic!!!!!!!!!!!! [03:56] hwo do i get rights to delete partiions on my usb stick? [03:56] henryhenryhenry, stop right there.

Log out, select "GNOME" as your session, log in.

[04:01] Stormx2: he wants help on compiling, I understand we gave him the help to install with apt/synaptic now he also has the info for compiling, if henryhenryhenry wants to go the hard route then it is his choice [04:01] if you wish to use this feature then your system will need to be configured to use gdm instead [04:01] ammadeusy: once you do it, it stays. As long as you properly shut down mirc [04:01] IdleOne: he doesn't want the hard route, he's being confused by stuff that's telling him to compile [04:01] konbon: where the log is put? [04:01] IdleOne: he had various advices, compiling included but just kept on asking [04:02] Ben64: I nominate you to help henryhenryhenry .

[04:09] Ben64: in 9.04 xorg.conf is not needed but can be used if written by the user.

I have an odd question to ask. Is it possible to make a ext3 partition from a ntfs hdd? I have like 100GB's free on a 500GB hdd and want to install ubuntu in it with out having to whipe the whole drive. Is this even possible? [04:18] it's a pos imho [04:18] Does anyone know why this is? [04:19] shawn_: http://pastebin.com/f40ceba21 [04:19] i dont think u can resize ntfs drives [04:19] konbon: sure [04:19] What do I do with that DasEi [04:19] i thought gparted can now resize ntfs [04:19] unless there special software out there [04:19] konbon: you running vista or xp? [04:20] xp 32 w/ sp3 [04:20] vista resizes ntfs partitions natively now [04:20] LinuxRox_: You can resize ntfs drives. gparted works quite well [04:20] gparted does resize ntfs partiitons [04:20] shawn_: looking up working drivers [04:20] is there a default password...on firefox master password? [04:20] I have resized on Win2003 and XP without issue [04:20] DasEi what is the thing in pastebin you gave me [04:20] MrFSL: would i be able to do this with an Ubuntu live cd? [04:20] LinuxRox_: I used it go increase the size of my WinXP virtual machine just last week. [04:21] konbon:yes [04:21] or is gparted a windows app? [04:21] good to know [04:21] konbon: from the live CD system > administratrion > partition editor [04:21] shawn_: a pastebin of the logfile of a 1950 running x fine [04:21] backup first as always [04:21] konbon: gparted is a linux app. apt-cache search gparted [04:21] DasEi how can I get mine set up like yours? [04:21] Oh ok [04:21] thats the thing, i dont have another hdd to back up on [04:21] is there any way to change the ubuntu menu font colors? [04:22] so, its either make it or break it [04:22] konbon: gparted is pretty easy to use - graphical with sliders [04:22] Oh nice [04:22] Does Ubuntu come with unixODBC? [04:22] konbon: burn to DVD? [04:22] so, it will just resize the ntfs and then uppon install, it will show and empty partition that i can make into a ext3? [04:22] i have ubuntu 32 on a cd [04:23] konbon: always run a filesystem check before and after any resizing operations. [04:23] MrFSL: Oh, i see what you mean. [04:23] if you try to install ubuntu, it should offer to resize during install process [04:23] jDownloader [04:23] but yeah, what Cyrano_De said, run chkdsk before resizing [04:23] what should i be looking for? [04:23] any type of error ? [04:24] maybe even a defrag if you really want to be super sure [04:24] That goes for ANY filesystem resizing. Ext3, ntfs, xfs.... [04:24] i did the defrag yesterday [04:24] Cyrano_De: good idea [04:24] i'll do that now [04:24] konbon: No you just want to make sure you start with a good clean filesystem. [04:24] and defrag again [04:24] hmmm since i updated fire fox to 3.0.14 it killed my master password to my master password proteced sites....none of them like my main " master password any more... most of them i have wrote down but some i didnt have wrote down... how do i get them back? did it reset the password to a generic password? [04:24] konbon: GIGO(Garbage in Garbage out) [04:24] Cyrano_De: sounds good [04:25] george [04:25] Thanks for the help fellas, really appreciated. [04:25] shawn_: err, off [04:26] Donated $100 last month to several open source apps like gimp, ardour and cinelerra. This help just motivated me to donate another $100 :) [04:26] hello [04:26] i wish i could give more, but times are rough right now. :) [04:26] Cyrano_De: I noticed with Jaunty that windows check disk is automatically called after resize operation [04:27] I want to install Ubuntu for general use on a church computer [04:27] what y'all think? [04:27] its a brand new computer [04:27] an HP [04:27] hey all, anyone happen to know how to make open office or abiword save as xhtml? [04:27] abunader: go for it [04:27] konbon: well that's awesome, tell your friends about Linux too :D [04:27] abunader: Sounds like a great idea [04:27] comes with windows vista with free upgrade to windows 7 [04:27] but they don't have anyone tech savvy except me [04:27] so i want to set it up as a no hassle thing [04:27] j dk [04:27] abunader: install what the users are used to and can get support on [04:27] abunader: they might be able to get a refund for the windows license [04:27] hello room [04:28] install Ubuntu if you plan on supporting it [04:28] save some money, put ubuntu on it, save time [04:28] and with windows that isnt possible [04:28] innomen: OOwriter File/export [04:28] ask the church lady... [04:28] mrfsl what do you mean? [04:28] !hi | stephenL89 [04:28] stephenL89: 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! [04:28] the thing with windows is, there are these constant upgrades and fixes [04:28] abunader: I mean if the Church users are used to Windows ... give them users. If they aren't used to Ubuntu they will need support [04:28] not that ubuntu doesnt have them [04:28] well there's lots of updates on ubuntu [04:28] Im looking to find the love of my life in this room [04:29] Cyrano_De, xhtml is not among the options [04:29] lets get cracking [04:29] exorcise windows [04:29] abunader: There should be constant upgrades on Linux as well. [04:29] i'll give them support but won't be here all the time [04:29] abunader: take a poll [04:29] windows has spyware/malware issues [04:29] we need to constantly be updating definitions [04:29] for viruses [04:29] etc.. [04:29] stephenL89> you fix my fire fox master password problem... we can talk [04:29] innomen: Which version of OO? On 3.0.1 it is the first export option. [04:29] you know what I mean? [04:29] abunader: if anyone cared about spyware or viruses no one would run Windows [04:29] lol [04:29] alright talk to me.describe your issue [04:29] good one MrFSL [04:30] MrFSL: they just don't know any better [04:30] hmmm since i updated fire fox to 3.0.14 it killed my master password to my master password proteced sites....none of them like my main " master password any more... most of them i have wrote down but some i didnt have wrote down... how do i get them back? did it reset the password to a generic password? [04:30] Cyrano_De, for me pdf is the first option... same version... this is odd [04:30] The last computer they had [04:30] when I came in [04:30] abunader: Linux has vulnerabilities as well. They may not be as easy to expliot, but they should be patched just as much as Windows. [04:30] it was in terrible shape [04:30] Ben64, your right but if you want to teach them then you have to support them as well [04:30] they could hardly use it because of all the junk on it [04:30] just giving advise [04:30] I want to make it real simple [04:30] they'll use it only for documents/spreadsheets and internet [04:30] abunader: sounds like you already have your answer [04:30] Cyrano_De, i think i have it [04:31] so really can't go wrong can we? [04:31] one moment [04:31] innomen: File/export not File/export as pdf [04:31] Some people were expressing reservations [04:31] stephenL89, first off irc doesn't have 'rooms' thats an aol thing.. irc has channels, and sorry no love of your life here lol [04:31] yes.when you update Firefox all the internal components and settings get reset as well.which taking into hindsight really sucks but can be fixed:] [04:31] just wanted to know what you thought [04:31] in terms of at least problems that would later crop up [04:31] abunader: I think that you can't force Linux on folks. WHy not demonstrate from the live cd [04:31] abunader: You might want to look into kiosk mode [04:31] not the users, but ubuntu itself [04:32] is there a good pdf reader that can export a single page out as a jpeg? [04:32] abunader: what is the computer for? [04:32] just an office computer [04:32] abunader: for that, stability, user management, crap-free internet ubu sure is fine [04:32] beans43, pdfsam [04:32] the church has an executive board [04:32] abunader: like what programs though? [04:32] abunader> free computer support hasa cost.. time and effort..if u feel the time and effort are being fixed..in other ways.. then help out... but i can tell u my sad story... i do free pc work at my job..and they dont care...its become part of my job... sucks some times ..they dont want to hear why its bad...cuz im not the pc guy [04:32] and they get elected every other year [04:32] so the people are constantly changing [04:32] the comptuer gets in for some abuse [04:33] to get back to where you were the simplest solution for you would be to downgrade back to your original version or else ask the friendly folks working on the tech staff to help you.Trust me their great [04:33] ben64, they use ms office and firefox now [04:33] mostly [04:33] MrFSL, ok. i apt get it now... [04:33] its not in the repos [04:33] Cyrano_De, it wont export from an htm, just fyi. [04:33] its a free java download [04:33] google pdfsam [04:33] I've installed a bunch of other program just to have windows working right [04:33] MrFSL, pdfsam will make a pdf into a jpeg? [04:33] Is there a Ubuntu 9.04 Live CD KDE or only the desktop for download at this time? [04:33] adaware, avg, pen ninja, etc. [04:34] to make into jpeg there are command tools [04:34] innomen: Interesting. Maybe save as odf first then export? [04:34] gscan2pdf might work for jpeg [04:34] F3d0rA: kubuntu [04:34] MrFSL, unable to apt-get, broken package , dependencies [04:35] thanks so much. Can the desktop CD be as live? [04:35] Cyrano_De, copy pasted to a new file, now i'm having problems with the export function itself, first jre whining now cant save to file, i'm tinkiering [04:35] beans43, not in the repos google pdfsam [04:35] F3d0rA: Yes, most of the desktop CDs are live CDs as well. [04:35] thanks again!! [04:36] beans43: http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfsam/files/pdfsam/1.2.0/pdfsam-1.2.0-out.zip/download [04:36] i hate opemn office [04:36] sorry [04:36] Cyrano_De, "file could not be written" [04:36] innomen: I have not used the xhtml export myself. [04:36] I meant: https://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfsam/files/pdfsam/2.0.0/pdfsam-2.0.0-out.zip/download [04:36] open office never works for me under any circumstances [04:36] it always looks like its going to work, and then dosent [04:36] MrFSL, thx [04:36] i think microsoft has spys in there [04:37] hi, for some reason when I try to connect to my wireless network via static IP, I can ping the router but nothing else. Every field is as it should be...what gives? [04:37] Mr_Giraffe: default route? [04:37] Mr_Giraffe: can you ping your dns? [04:38] well, I can't try at the moment, unless you want to deal with frequent disconnects from me [04:38] innomen, the problem isn't OO, it's that you don't understand anything about unix/linux permissions [04:38] innomen: Sorry to hear that. OO 3.X has been working very well for me for some time now. [04:38] Ben64, what do you mean by default route? [04:38] Mr_Giraffe: how did you set up the static ip? [04:38] Ben64, did it in GNOME Network Manager [04:39] added an IP entry with the proper mask and gateway, and the DNS server IPs in the "DNS Servers" field [04:39] which seemed to be the logical course of action... [04:39] bucky, unix linux permission forced OO to make the standard.dic file in a format literally no other application can read when it coulda ben plain text? permission made OO look the same for the last 3 years? i guess i DONT understand permissions [04:39] Mr_Giraffe: gateway is what i'm talking about, if that's not set correctly, you will have that problem you're describing [04:40] since no one has any instant help for firefox killing my master password...can anyone point me to someplace to look? [04:40] bucky: No, I just tried to export a doc using the xhtml exporter and got the same error. [04:40] Ben64, that's what I figured, but how exactly would I set it correctly? [04:40] networks are not exactly my strong point (well, among other things) [04:40] normally it would be the ip of your router [04:40] I'd like to take the .iso for Jaunty and produce a new .iso that's basically the same but with all the packages updated. Where do I start? [04:40] Mr_Giraffe: route -n [04:40] bucky, the problem is OO being a clunky piece of crap thats why the latest version fo wine runs office 2007 out of the box (so to speak) [04:40] bucky: I am saving to the same directory I just saved the .txt version to. Not a permissions problems. [04:40] before you change settings check your existing [04:41] Cyrano_De, thank you for your help :) I think abiword is going to be able to do it [04:41] Ben64, the IP as in the local IP or the external one? [04:41] MrFSL, what exactly am I doing here? [04:41] gateway should be the local ip of the router [04:41] Mr_Giraffe: checking your routing table [04:41] k [04:41] to see if you have an issue [04:41] LinuxRox_: upgrading firefox has *never* trashed my master password, or any other passwords for that matter. I dunno what you did, but I think you must've done *something* odd. Got a backup of your .mozilla directories? [04:41] by eth0 (what I'm connected with now, wired), there's a destination of 0.0.0.0 going through a gateway of 192.168.0.1 (the router) [04:42] not really sure how that can be a good thing [04:42] Then you don't have a default route issue [04:42] MrFSL, I'm trying to connect with wireless [04:42] Mr_Giraffe: sudo cat /etc/resolv.conf [04:42] wireless != this [04:42] ...OHHHH! [04:42] LinuxRox_: Have you tried #firefox per chance? [04:42] my bad [04:42] Mr_Giraffe: then you need to make sure wireless is set the same [04:42] MrSchmo, it's fine :P [04:42] Ben64, so I need to set wireless as going to 0.0.0.0 through 192.168.0.1? [04:43] that seems a little counterintuitive... [04:43] *sigh* abiword will not open *.htm lol [04:43] what does this mean? [04:43] --cpu= - Set number of cpu core [04:43] well since it got broken with the last ubuntu ipdates i was asking here first [04:43] Reconnect to wireless via clicking on the network applet [04:43] gateway should be 192.168.0.1, ip 192.168.0.[2-254], mask 255.255.255.0 [04:43] cpu core? [04:43] Ben64, right, and that's what I have set in the addresses field [04:43] n-iCe: yeah, you have a single core or dual core? 0 for single 1 for dual [04:44] n-iCe: what's it from? [04:44] hmm [04:44] you made sure wireless is set to 192.168.0.1 for gateway? [04:44] Mr_Giraffe, lets see the whole routing table === prince_j1mmys is now known as prince_jammys [04:44] Ben64, at least I *thought* it was... [04:44] hold up :P [04:44] innomen, write a new office suite [04:44] LinuxRox_: I suspect that is not a common failure as everyone I know that has upgraded firefox has not run into that. [04:44] bucky, oh shut up, i'm sorry i insulted your girlfriend [04:44] innomen, i refuse to pay the Bill Gate Gay Tax [04:44] MrFSL, if you insist [04:45] seems that way [04:45] Mr_Giraffe: I don't insist [04:45] Cyrano_De, did you happen to solve the save error? *hope hope hope* [04:45] losher: cosky [04:45] MrFSL, http://pastebin.com/d6f6c7158 [04:45] bastid_raZor: but it is my core 2 duo? [04:45] Mr_Giraffe: Just trying to help... I think I understand your issue, you are wired to a router that you are trying to access wirelessly [04:45] not to be stupid but can someone post the firefox url? ... its not in the about... ive looked [04:45] bastid_raZor: should I use 2 ? [04:46] hi === Wolter is now known as SpacePigeon [04:46] innomen, know what kentucky foreplay sounds like? "Hey little sister.. you awake?" [04:46] pm me pls [04:46] MrFSL, I'm wired to it because I can access it wirelessly, but not the internet wirelessly [04:46] innomen: I am looking at a fedora bug report that might have some clues. [04:46] MrFSL, I'm doing that because DHCP isn't working on the router [04:46] n-iCe: conky? [04:46] innomen: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=480121 [04:46] it is posible to run my ubunu desktop over win 2003 [04:46] ?? [04:46] losher: yes [04:46] bucky, is that supposed to bother me? [04:46] Cyrano_De, reading... [04:47] n-iCe: yes, cpu cores. Use "2" [04:47] MrFSL, any idea what the issue is? [04:47] I mean, I'm sure it's some error on my part, but what? [04:47] Cyrano_De, oh goodie so it's not my fault heheh [04:47] innomen, you brought up my gf [04:47] few days ago i tried a distro that bypassed the windows/linux login screens any idea whats the name of it?? [04:48] Mr_Giraffe, I understand - one issue is that your wired network 192.168.0.0/24 but you wireless network is 192.168.0.0/20 [04:48] bucky, wow, does metaphor slip past you that easily all the time? [04:48] looks like you entered the wrong subnet mask on the wireless side [04:48] oh, actually no [04:48] n-iCe: losher 0 would indicate core1 and 1 would indicate core2. cpu's start being counted at 0. if you're monitoring the cpu in conky use cpu0 cpu1 [04:48] help pls? [04:48] innomen, i'm not the one that can't save a file in OO [04:48] MrFSL, that's what's on the router page as the subnet mask [04:49] top32 [04:49] bastid_raZor: I'll try 1 [04:49] hold on [04:49] bucky, heh, obviously you havn't tried to do what i'm doing. [04:49] I Use code 2 duo, then 1 correct? [04:49] SuperMiguel, maybe PClinuxOS because mandrivel used to do that [04:49] Mr_Giraffe, can I PM you? [04:49] bucky, fire up oo, type something and try to export it as an xhtml [04:49] SuperMiguel: There are several live CDs that do not require a login. DSL, and knoppix being two prominate ones. [04:49] MrFSL, by all means go ahead [04:50] bucky, Cyrano_De what i meant was to by pass like a windows password.. [04:50] innomen, i use kompozer for that [04:50] bucky, i rest my case === gadis is now known as top32 [04:50] bastid_raZor: indeed it is 2, 1 didn't work [04:50] Are there still a lot of problems with PPTP in 9.04? Just keep dropping the connection myself. [04:51] innomen, and any other web authoring client duties i might require... not an office suite [04:51] n-iCe: is that two actual processors or a single processor with 2 cores? [04:51] bucky, thats nice, your point? [04:52] bucky, because my point was that my issue is oo's problem, not mine. which kind of makes all your little stabs about my ignorance, well, little. [04:52] bucky: innomen you two should take your disagreement to #ubuntu-offtopic [04:53] n-iCe: care to pastebin your conkyrc file you're using? [04:53] ctmjr, dont worry as soon as i find a way to make this conversion i'll deprive him of a target :) === top32 is now known as tegal === Mr_Giraffe_ is now known as Mr_Giraffe [04:55] innomen, if you want a new feature.. submit a patch.. i'm sure OO will be glad to integrate it [04:55] anyone know if just PPTP has an issue in 9.04 or is it all VPN services? [04:56] hey can i get a copy of a working xorg.conf for jaunty in here please? [04:56] pastebin.com it? [04:56] bucky, i'd be happy with them making the features they claim to already have, actually work. [04:56] I was trying to get rid of the "Move Window" shortcut, as it was interfering with an app I use. I clicked it, and hit "delete", thinking that would delete it. It instead assigned Delete to it. Then I clicked it, and hit backspace, which disabled it, but my Delete key still starts the moving of the window, even though it is listed as disabled. [04:57] Can someone remind me what the specific command for finding out a graphics card is? [04:57] lspci [04:57] sebsebseb: lspci | grep VGA [04:57] sebsebseb: lspci [04:57] or sudo hwinfo --gfxcard [04:57] bastid_raZor: bingo :) [04:57] bastid_raZor: thanks [04:58] drat, too slow. :) [04:58] sebsebseb: no problem. [04:58] Oh, the problem is now gone. I went in, assigned delete to it again, and then disabled again, and it is not doing it anymore. [04:58] bucky, kompozer apprently thinks html and xhtml are the same thing. [04:58] hey can i get a copy of a working xorg.conf for jaunty on pastebin.com, please? [04:58] ewp: what card what driver? [04:59] hi - im having an issue installing a new flash player for firefox on ubuntu. it keeps telling me to install the new version and i install it succesfully but firefox still thinks i have the old one [04:59] i just need to reconfig my xorg.conf (and Xodiac13 ) since we both have the same problem cus on a fresh ubuntu install it's blank [04:59] ewp: http://pastebin.com/f5b0e5513 [04:59] oddly enough, my compiz works but i'm going to install fglrx anywya [04:59] ewp: but not very helpful [04:59] thank you MrFSL === comfnumb is now known as pencapchew [05:00] i've created a RAID 1 pair with mdadm. on boot i get dumped to an initramfs prompt. a sharp guy from #linux says i should make a new initrd with mkinitrd, but doesn't how know with ubuntu. how do i do this? [05:00] yes, i know. i just need a template of a working xorg.conf [05:00] innomen, actually they are almost [05:00] (/dev/sdb and /dev/sdd are my raid 1 mirror) [05:00] innomen, html5 and xhtml overlap [05:00] How do i get sound to stop coming out of my speakers when my headphones are plugged in? (running on a Dell Mini 10 w/ Audacious) [05:00] My nautilus has misbehaved. How do I restart it without crashing gdm? [05:00] can anyone help me install flashplayer on [05:00] firefox? [05:01] !flashplayer [05:01] 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 [05:01] bucky, kompozer bunches them all togather, when what i want is a conversion [05:01] MrFSL, you're xorg.conf is the same as mine pretty much [05:01] lol crap [05:01] juanty's weird [05:01] !flashplayer | SunmanXII [05:01] !flashplayer [05:01] SunmanXII: please see above [05:01] universalindentgui: error while loading shared libraries: libqscintilla2.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [05:01] SunmanXII: enable canonical repos and install using apt or synaptic [05:01] innomen, ah ha! [05:01] pencapchew: in volume control, you should be able to turn down the "front" channel [05:01] someone told me this was a qt error === swoody_ is now known as swoody === adam is now known as Guest66708 [05:02] !flashplayer [05:02] 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 [05:02] SunmanXII: sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin [05:02] innomen, tidy -asxhtml -numeric < index.html > index.xml [05:02] since kompozer, oo, word 2007, and abiword all are incapable of converting an html to xhtml apprently i am stuck with tidy [05:02] when i turn front down, it kills both headphones and speakers [05:03] (built in speakers) [05:03] ubottu: nautilus [05:03] Sorry, I don't know anything about nautilus === devnull is now known as devnull_ [05:03] yaaay [05:03] good disk image [05:04] I really don't want to crash my GDM. pidgin would die with it. :( [05:04] ewp, what you trying to do with Xorg? [05:04] pencapchew: is there a separate channel (or one that can be enabled) for the headphones? [05:04] bucky, i want to see what i'm doing [05:04] bucky, the goal here is making dslibris reading xhtml files from htm files [05:05] MrFSL, install fglrx, but aticonfig --initial won't recognize a Screen section so we were going to rewrite a new xorg.conf [05:05] bucky tidy -asxhtml -utf8 -numeric -o book.xhtml book.html [05:05] pencapchew: check under volum control -> switches and see if headphones are there [05:05] hi, my flashplugin-nonfree is in the newest version but firefox still says i dont have the latest flash [05:05] but i want a gui for this [05:05] I think that is the detect headphones [05:05] wonderful. now firefox won't launch either. :( [05:05] MrFSL, assuming aticonfig works by branching off reading from ServerLayout, which does not exist in Jaunty's xorg.conf on fresh install [05:05] SunmanXII: flashplugin-nonfree is an older but somewhat more stable version of flasg [05:05] i previously created an array with /dev/sdb and /dev/sdd. i rebooted and /dev/md0 isn't there and i'm dumped to busybox. how can i mount the array again? [05:06] ewp, aaahhh ATI issues.... best of luck I can't help. I have worked with ATI on linux quite a bit a choose to not deal with it anymore ;) [05:06] apprently tidy has a gui, universalindentgui its in the repos, but it wont run [05:06] does anybody know how to run sslstrip script correctly? [05:06] SunmanXII: FF sucks when it comes to flash personally. I would go to Adobe and download the one from there [05:06] MrFSL, haha yeaaaaa [05:06] SurmanXII: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/?promoid=BUIGP [05:06] hey every1 [05:06] if my NIC won [05:06] is it 64-bit? becase the 64 alpha of flash 10 crashes a lot === adam is now known as Guest93573 [05:07] innomen, nice [05:07] coaxmt: ive got master, PCM, front, and front mic for options, no headphone specific option for sliders. There IS a headphone checkbox under the switches tab, though that kills headphones and not speakers. Im trying for the opposite [05:07] mouseclone: that was my original problem: i go to adobe and download the .deb install it and it still doesnt work. it claims i have the old version [05:07] if my NIC won't work will dhcp3-server stop running on that NIC? [05:07] coaxmt: i run 64bit, but 32bit flash [05:07] coaxmt: I think the 64-bit builds of ubuntu use a 32-bit flash plugin loaded with nspluginwrapper [05:07] oh boy! apprently this one is a bug too *facepalm* [05:07] i am gifted [05:07] yea, they do and that works, its the 64bit version from adobe that some places reccomend that is broken [05:07] anyway to backup all the restricted plugins and downloaded stuff ...? wanna do a new installation [05:08] when an application installs onto ubuntu, it puts its "program files" in /usr/lib? and its executable/command in /usr/bin? [05:08] CppIsWeird: somewhat, but linux/unix doesn't exactly work like that [05:08] CppIsWeird: there is also /usr/share for data files [05:09] pencapchew: ah, mine has a switch to enable a headphone channel. I am not sure what to do in your case then. Try checking the forums/google, unless somebody else here comes up with something [05:09] I have permission problems.. can't access a folder.. but unsure how to resolve the permission issue.. suggestions? [05:09] CppIsWeird: and for things not managed by the package manager, there is /usr/local/lib, /usr/local/bin, and /usr/local/share [05:09] any ideas as to whgy this is happening? === gadis is now known as tegal [05:10] SunmanXII: are you using the 64-bit version of ubuntu? [05:10] CppIsWeird: some programs put user specific files in your home directory === root is now known as Guest62157 [05:10] i... think so. [05:10] k, well thanks anyways [05:10] sanchiro: you can chmod/chown it, if you can sudo on the machine in question. chmod 777 gives everybody rwe permissions, if you need a quick fix [05:10] are libraries in /usr/lib? [05:10] SunmanXII: what response do you get from uname -m? [05:11] chmod -R to tracerse a directory recursively [05:11] traverse [05:11] CppIsWeird: usually there or in /usr/local/lib [05:11] sanchiro: what is your issue [05:11] ? [05:11] !filesystem | CppIsWeird [05:11] CppIsWeird: An explanation of how files and directories are organized on Ubuntu, and how they can be manipulated, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview [05:11] coaxmt, thanks.. I'll try it, the error I get is > You don't have permission to access /pipermail/mailman/ on this server. [05:11] thx [05:11] lstarnes: i686 [05:11] sanchiro: yea, if it is your own machine (or one you have sudo permissions on) you shuold be able to do it [05:11] MrFSL, coaxmt and yet I don't even have any folder named pipermail/mailman.. non existant on my server [05:11] SunmanXII: then you have the 32-bit version [05:12] sanchiro, well that explains why you can't access it [05:12] lstarnes: sorry then. so i cant get the new flash? [05:12] sanchiro: oh... it sounds like something is trying to connect to something... and can't [05:12] SunmanXII: did you remove the old flash before you installed the new one from Adobe's site? and are you running FF3.5? [05:12] SunmanXII: you could try downloading the .tar.gz, extracting it, then moving the libflashplayer.so into the mozilla/firefox plugins directory [05:12] coaxmt, I assume that mailman never correctly setup those folders then [05:13] SunmanXII: the 32-bit version of flash is less buggy that the 64-bit build and is still kept up-to-date [05:13] lstarnes: im going to try extracting the file and putting it into the firefox plugins directory. see if that works [05:13] sanchiro, thats what it seems like. I [05:13] does evince comes with a bloated version? with more functions? [05:13] i'm not familiar with the program, so I can't help with much more [05:14] * mouseclone has almost given up on FF in Ubuntu for now. Opera seems to run better [05:14] opera is qt though...=( [05:14] Hello room. Is there a command line utility by which I can enable or disable services in Ubuntu [05:15] hey_boy: yes. update-rc.d [05:15] let me try [05:15] try the manual :) [05:16] it's a utility for managing init scripts. === adam is now known as Guest58154 [05:17] bah that's it.. I'm done with pptp.. [05:17] i will just setup another vpn protocol tomorrow [05:18] Which is faster? Gnome or Kubuntu? [05:18] Gnome [05:18] Brains, must eat brains. [05:18] steven_: kubuntu uses kde [05:18] Xubuntu is even faster [05:19] Why is Xubuntu faster? [05:19] not faster, just less recource intensive. so faster on slower machines [05:19] steven_: xfce is lighter than kde and gnome [05:19] hi a;; [05:19] all [05:19] wow [05:19] ok, Ubuntu is my new default linux [05:19] can i write using XNA libraries on reactOS? [05:19] "PostgreSQL Server" is a standard server profile [05:19] Kde is slightly faster than gnome for me, but not much [05:20] hey_boy: try service - looks like you should be able to restart and disable them [05:20] so a program's libraries go in /usr/lib, /usr/local/lib. a program's baggage (similar to what you might find in program files/someprogram) goes in /usr/share, or /usr/local/share. program configurations go in either home or /etc/. The commands for a program go in /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin. Am i missing anything? [05:20] how did you accomplish that? :) [05:20] bucky, "-asxhtml -utf8 -numeric -o" what do these options mean? for instance is asxhtml a single option or are a s and x switches? [05:20] let me [05:20] my sound card is starting to make me mad [05:20] i get utf8 means unicode 8, yes? [05:20] or maybe not [05:20] Do I want lighter? [05:20] innomen: utf-8 is unicode === gadis is now known as tegal [05:21] steven_: it depends on what your needs are [05:21] innomen: check ''man tidy'' for the options. [05:21] Just want to see how fast I can go [05:21] Core 2 Duo setup [05:21] steven_: regular ubuntu and kubuntu work well enough for most people [05:21] does 10.4 currently use gnome 3? [05:21] johnwhaley: intel sd? [05:21] steven_: you could always remove unwanted packages or install new ones [05:21] yes [05:21] not much help in the man page for services [05:22] steven_: install DSL (damn small Linux) or puppy. those are really fast [05:22] innomen, -asxhtml outputs xhtml documents instead of html is this a test? [05:22] kameron: it's not yet in development afaik [05:22] steven_: or don't install just run live [05:22] lstarnes, thanks [05:22] prince_jammys, thank you, i forgot about that lo i'm reading [05:22] johnwhaley: what does asoundconf list give you [05:22] asoundconf list [05:22] innomen, -numeric uses character entities instead of html entities. For example, î is replaced with î [05:22] bucky, no, i'm just trying to duplicate those options in universalindent gui so i can save a config file and make this super easy in the future [05:23] kameron: and the release of gnome 3 might not make it to 10.04. Maybe 10.10 or a later release [05:23] where is best place to rid of old hardware [05:23] neighbour's yard [05:23] bucky, that leavs -o [05:23] lstarnes, ah really hey. just read the announcement tonight and was excited to try it out. [05:23] i'm new to Linux Mouseclone [05:23] mostly sdram pc 100 [05:24] pc 133 [05:24] erikk71: ebay? [05:24] or you can do what I do, and put it in the closet with all the other old hardware that I will never use [05:24] i think sdram still goes for a decent amount [05:24] johnwhaley: ok open a terminal and type 'asoundconf list' with out the ' and let me know output [05:24] rarely fool with ebay [05:24] k [05:24] is that like [05:24] craigslist? [05:24] almost a shoe box full [05:24] pc133 [05:24] ? [05:24] you can't sell that really [05:25] you could make art [05:25] prince_jammys, i cant find -o in the man, i'm probably scrolling right past it heheh [05:25] yeah, i vote for art [05:25] out of sdram [05:25] innomen: look for --outputfile or such. [05:25] innomen, -o is the same as --output output file [05:25] lstarnes: i moved libflashplayer.so into /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins but when i look through the list of firefox plugins it still has flash 9.0 [05:25] johnwhaley: if it is an on board intel sound chip, it may or may not be worth the trouble. I had won that wouldn't work after 9.04 upgrade and after 6 hours I went out and bought a new one. [05:25] yeah, sdram makes awesome3 art [05:25] Names of available sound cards: [05:25] U0x46d0x8cc [05:25] bucky, prince_jammys ahh, thank you [05:26] SunmanXII: you may need to remove the old plugins [05:26] innomen, hey i'm sorry i gave you some digs [05:26] if you had like a couple 5 gallon pales of sdram you could try to sell it to someone who refine the gold out of it [05:26] innomen: you can search for things in less (the pager used by man) by typing a slash (/) and then what you're searching for. [05:26] maybe garbage can i best [05:26] lstarnes: straight from the directory or do i just disable it in firefox and then reboot firefox [05:27] epw: wow my refresh rate is even better than before [05:27] except for 256mb [05:27] SunmanXII: you will need to restart firefox [05:27] prince_jammys, well thats uber helpful, thanks lol [05:27] anyone ever used reactOS? [05:27] you can slap some stamps on a stick and mail it into wired magazine for the return to sender contest [05:27] innomen: you can type 'h' for help on keys. [05:27] lstarnes: wais so do i disable the flash 9.0 plugin and then restart? [05:27] prince_jammys, equally handy, thanks again :) [05:27] notworth the headache [05:28] SunmanXII: yes [05:28] amvets has thrift store [05:28] they take donations in the day [05:28] mouseclone it is a sound card [05:28] let them deal it [05:29] johnwhaley: have you ran alsamixer and unmuted everything? [05:29] no [05:29] i'm new [05:29] that an several nic cards [05:29] i keep 3com ethernet cards [05:30] how do i run alsamixer [05:30] lstarnes: not working: i still ahve flashplayer 9.0 disabled and no new flash player. did i move it to the right directory even? [05:30] johnwhaley: same as other command. From the terminal [05:30] linux likes 3com cards [05:31] SunmanXII: are you using adobe's flash 10? [05:31] johnwhaley: is this a usb sound card? [05:31] SunmanXII: flash 9 may still be in other directories [05:31] lstarnes: i downloaded and isntalled it but firefox doesnt use it. how do i totally remove flash 9 and put flash 10 in its place? [05:32] mouseclone: i have a soundblaster card [05:32] SunmanXII: look for the other instances of libflashplayer.so. Try using locate libflashplayer.so [05:32] i typed alsamixer in teriminal, is said lsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory [05:33] SunmanXII: before 'locate ' use sudo updatedb [05:33] I have a tree of directories that I need to replace the string /scripts with the string /.scripts I am having trouble writing it, I can replace scripts with .scripts, but there are other instances of scripts that I don't want to replace [05:35] johnwhaley: what version of ubuntu? [05:35] mouseclone: i found a soundblaster driver on website, how would install it, ubuntu ver 9.04 [05:36] !gnome3.0 [05:36] Sorry, I don't know anything about gnome3.0 [05:36] johnwhaley: on creative's website? for linux? [05:36] !gnome3 [05:36] Sorry, I don't know anything about gnome3 [05:36] hmm [05:36] yes , mouseclone [05:37] bucky, so xhmlt and html5 are the same you said, does that mean i could im theory create an html5 file and simply change the extension and applications would not know the diffrence? [05:37] xhtml* [05:37] innomen: xhtml and html5 are not the same [05:37] oh [05:37] innomen: but they are very similar [05:38] lstarnes: mouseclone: i replaced every instance of libflashplayer.so and it worked! thanks! [05:38] this is killing me i wish oo would just export to xhtml like it said it would [05:38] innomen: xhtml follows a somewhat strict XML schema, while HTML5 is largely SGML, which often can validate as XML [05:38] * mouseclone bows to SunmanXII [05:38] johnwhaley: what model is your sd? [05:39] i tried this tidy thing and the result is garbled beyond repair, the cli way works but i just feel veyr strongly there is a better way [05:39] are there any tidy spesific front ends? [05:39] mouseclone: extremegamer [05:39] or extrememusic [05:39] hi guys [05:40] innomen: look at kompozer/bluefish/quanta. they might use tidy. [05:40] with 9.10 will Gnome 3.0 be available? [05:40] mattwj2002: no [05:40] Help! I have a process that has over 900 open files, and its limit is 1024. I can't figure out how to up the limit so that my process does crash. [05:40] bummer [05:40] :( [05:40] /proc/4233/fd/ says 923 [05:40] i have both kmpozer and bluefish installed, kompozer dosent want to save as just xhtml, it treats html htm xhtml as all the same [05:40] hello [05:40] mattwj2002: is gnome 3 even ready for testing? [05:40] and it's rising [05:40] anyone can help me? [05:40] johnwhaley: checking [05:40] when it hits 1024, it's going to crash [05:41] does anyone have any idea how to change the limit? === ruud is now known as Guest69505 [05:41] johnwhaley: I don't see why it would hurt. more than likely it will be a script driver like a vcard driver from ati/nvidia [05:42] mattwj2002: I think karmic has gnome 2.22 [05:42] bluefish apears ot have no export function and save as has only html and xml, is xml the same as xhtml? [05:42] innomen: no. XML is just a plain markup format [05:43] * innomen nods [05:43] !abiword timClicks [05:43] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [05:43] innomen: XHTML is a markup language that uses XML as its base [05:43] !abiword [05:43] Sorry, I don't know anything about abiword [05:43] mattwj2002 / lstarnes: GNOME 2.30 (3.0) is not scheduled for release until march of 2010. [05:43] innomen: you would just save the file ext to xml or html. they are just text files with markup [05:43] gedit > abiword :) [05:43] does anyone know where the abiword devs hang out? they don't have a room in FreeNode [05:44] mneptok: so it will most likely wait until after 10.04? [05:44] How do I adjust the ulimit for a running process? [05:44] mouseclone: could you talk me thro it? [05:44] just finished a reinstall from ubuntu 9.04 to 8.04 and everything is working great now except for bluetooth, I went to synaptics package manager and installed all the bluetooth options I could and ran updates, my bluetooth sees my logitec mouse but gives error coecting [05:44] johnwhaley: sure, need to dl it first.. it is a tar.gz so might take compiling [05:44] mouseclone, but the app (dslibirs) is looking for an xhtml file, i'm trying to duplicate what tidy does [05:44] lstarnes: defintiely, as Lucid is due to be an LTS release, and a month-old desktop environment is not going to be considered stable. [05:45] mouseclone: i not even sure what compiling means, lol [05:45] hi folks. i can hear audio via flash in firefox and via rythembox; but i cant hear audio via xmms2 or aplay. error here: http://pastie.org/625458 ... ideas?

[05:46] just the ssh client is in installed by default [05:46] shos: LP bug number? [05:46] lstarnes, so if xhtml and html are not the same why does kompozer when i goto save as lump xhtml html htm and shtml togather? does this mean the file that results form this save i can simply rename the extension? [05:46] agliodbs: I think ubuntu server may have it by default [05:47] probably [05:47] agliodbs: check ps aux | grep sshd [05:47] lstarnes: no, you're right, it's not installed by default [05:47] innomen: the formats are similar enough that carefully written XHTML can be parsed like HTML [05:47] johnwhaley: have you downloaded the file yet? [05:47] innomen: SHTML is just HTML with server-side includes [05:47] mneptok: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1150108 [05:47] shos: that's not a Launchpad bug. [05:48] couldn't display "obex:// is the error when I try to conect bluetooth mouse [05:48] lstarnes, lets say you wanted to convert an htm to xhtml, and tidy was out of the question unless it had a gui, what would you do? :) [05:48] mneptok: what [05:48] Hello, any solution yet to the slow USB transfer rate on ubuntu 9.04 ? [05:48] any idea about this PAM authentication failure? [05:48] smokepping didnt install on my machine [05:48] Mouseclone: yes i got it , i saved it [05:48] innomen: put it into a browser as html, find what doesn't work, then edit the broken parts [05:49] Ubuntu 9.04 -- System / Admin / Services, when I try and press the Unlock button get error message "Could not authenticate. An unexpected error has occured", the underlying error from a terminal says "CRITICAL: Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus)". If I try to run "gksudo services-admin" the unlock button is greyed out but changes still can't be made. Any ideas? [05:49] brasero don't burn vcd or dvd movies.. how to fix?

(if i can't solve this today i'll have to move back yo windows) [05:49] what is the package that installs all the development tools (gcc gdb make, etc) [05:49] ? [05:49] i didn't know there was a usb transfer rate problem. It works fine for me [05:50] epimeth: build-essential installs many development tools [05:50] lstarnes: thanks!

I am not sure what issue you are talking about, since it seems to work fine for me [05:51] coaxmt: heh... cool... thanks [05:51] shos: maybe you should try another forum than this IRC channel [05:51] like a mailing list or something [05:51] coaxmt: how do i know if 'there's a bug in launchpad???? [05:51] johnwhaley: in a terminal do - cd ~/Desktop/XFiDrv_Linux_Public_US_1.00 [05:51] shos: file a bug report, or search launchpad.net for the issue. [05:52] agliodbs: if you have any idea for a forum that will help... [05:52] mouseclone: done [05:52] johnwhaley: according to the readme file all you have to do is make and make install - you can combine the commands like so - make && make install [05:52] search or post on ubuntuforums.org [05:52] shos: nope, I'm a newbie. sorry [05:52] coaxmt: how do i file a bug report?

[05:56] shos: based on that bug report, looks liek there isn't a solution yet. There might be some useful info on the commends on it [05:56] i guess i see why oo fails to export to xhtml, apprently there sint an app on the planet capable of it other than tidy by cli [05:56] ok thanks..but when i log out...it goes to the kde desktopt them [05:56] * mouseclone needs a smoke === thiras_ is now known as Thiras [05:56] mouseclone, so there's linux drivers for x-fi now? haha i have a gamer friend that refused linux in past cus there weren't drivers for his sound, x-fi [05:56] why can't i view var/log/syslog?

[05:57] brb [05:57] jrivera: typo? /var/log/syslog ?

[05:58] however, from my understanding char s[] must be declared at compile time [05:58] johnwhaley: after install .. if you didn't get any errors,, reboot. it is more than likely does a modprobe to install the driver in the kernel [05:58] I am using char *s so i can malloc and not know the size before hand [05:58] lstarnes: that did it but why can;t i use pico instead [05:58] shos, whats your issue exactly? [05:58] how can there not be any workwround [05:58] can anyone help me to see if there is a dif between char s[] and char *s? thank you very much in advance [05:58] innomen: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/334914 [05:59] jrivera: nano is usually used instead of pico [05:59] Hey all, a quick question. I just set up a hardware raid, and windows sees the raid, but linux is seeing the individual drives. What's going on? [05:59] it would probably be worth learning vi or vim, if you need to edit stuff from a terminal [05:59] jrivera: you don't have permissions.. syslog is root:adm rw-r [06:00] shos, are you using the alpha?

[06:01] calmbola: char* is a character pointer. char[] is an array of chars [06:01] innomen: so no what? [06:01] lstarnes, can i use them interchangeably? [06:01] calmbola: I'm not sure if they are different [06:01] shos, have you brunt the latest karmic as a live cd and seen if the problem persists in that version? [06:01] jrivera: what happens when you do 'cat /var/log/syslog' ? that should work === mike is now known as Guest50989 [06:02] calmbola: try asking in a channel specifically for C, like ##c (which might require registration) [06:02] shos, your issue might be fixed in karmic, it comes out in like 3 weeks or something [06:02] coaxmt: cat does the trick but nano or pico doesn't [06:02] innomen: i wish i had time for testing these stuff, i need a os i can use... [06:02] lstarnes, ugh tired [06:02] is karmic the next jaunty? [06:02] i'm in the wrong room [06:02] how much bandwidth would it take to update from a fresh install of 8.10 to 9.04? [06:02] should stop coding right now ;) [06:03] shos, well see you burn the live cd, boot to it test, if the problem is there, well thats a diffrent issue if its not then you can just boot back into your normal one and upgrade [06:03] shos: #ubuntu+1 for Karmic support, thanks [06:03] ANYONE HERE KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT GETTING AN HP DV7-1135NR INTEGRATED WEBCAM WORKING PROPERLY? [06:03] Flannel, he's not using karmic [06:03] !caps > Guest50989 [06:03] Guest50989, please see my private message [06:03] jrivera: that is probably because it is read only. You can try 'more' instaead of cat to make it more readable. If you are root, try using gedit or vi or vim [06:03] Techie: as much as you'll give it [06:03] Techie: no much take about 30 min on 10mb [06:03] innomen: Questions regarding karmic are directed there as well. [06:03] Flannel, he's not asking about karmic! [06:03] my logitech mouse conects to bluetooth just fine in ubuntu 8.10 and 9.04 but always have trouble with 8.04 anyone els have same issue or know a fix? [06:03] innomen: i'm not the only one experiencing this. this is obviously an ubuntu problem [06:04] mouseclone: what would be the best way to test, to see if it worked [06:04] innomen: He asked if karmic was the next jaunty... whatever that means, it's certainly about karmic. [06:04] Techie: provided you have a good location to dl from [06:04] shos, thats like saying its a people problem there are other issues in play :) [06:04] johnwhaley: reboot [06:04] anyone know how to sent a link to multiple folders from the CL [06:04] karmic is the next ubuntu release, jaunty is the current release [06:04] K [06:04] innomen: what??? [06:04] brb [06:04] johnhaley: you have to load the driver, and if it is kernel based then reboot is only way [06:04] what is the current support for older ATI graphics cards like in 9.04 (ATI Radeon 9600XT) [06:04] shos, want me to type it louder? :P [06:04] no, type harder [06:04] shos, your issue may fixed next version, is that clear enough? [06:04] innomen: i got no clue what you're talking about. [06:05] it was clear the first time thank you. [06:05] jaunty broke too much stuff for me I had to revert to 8.04 [06:05] Techie: not much, dl the old driver and give it a shot. I always get driver for vcard from amd [06:05] "next version" is pretty clear. and the next versoin is coming out next month [06:05] version* [06:05] shos, so live cd the next version and check, if its a kernel issue we can update it and fix your problem [06:05] coaxmt: thanks! [06:05] mouseclone: thanks [06:06] last question though: will i have to make a clean install of karmic or will the jaunty could just upgrade to it? [06:06] :-[ WRITE@LBA=150h failed with SK=3h/ASC=73h/ACQ=04h]: Input/output error [06:06] shos: you should be able to upgrade through the package manager [06:06] shos: don't upgrade until its released, try karmic in Virtualbox [06:06] Techie: just remember that companies can't support old cards forever.. you should always get the basics out of any vcard though [06:06] shos, i believe it can be made ot update off the cd if thats the route you wanna go, or you can just copy off your home directory clean install and copy it back [06:06] shos: or on a different partition or disk [06:06] musikgoat, that wont help him [06:07] i'll try the live cd, although this bug appears on hdd installs [06:07] Techie: just might not have all the OpenGL stuff you would like [06:07] shos, it really shouldent matter [06:07] leave #ubuntu [06:07] shos: the bug does not seem to be universal -- that is, not for all usb storage devices, since I have never experienced it [06:07] shos: how much space do you have? [06:07] shos: on your hd? [06:08] coaxmt read the threads [06:08] shos: seems odd, i run jaunty 64 bit, and I don't have slow usb speed [06:08] shos: I am not saying it doesn't exist, I am just saying its not universal [06:08] i know people read the threads [06:08] i don't know if this is the right channel to ask this, but how do i convert .wmv to .flv format? [06:08] try winff [06:09] if it can read wmv [06:09] coaxmt, i'm betteing its a kernel thing [06:09] wait, flv? I don't knwo [06:09] igoogg: install avidmux [06:09] coaxmt: already have. [06:09] igoogg: upload it to youtube, download from youtube [06:09] Anyone? How do you make a link to a directory to multiple other directories from the command line? [06:09] mouseclone: k. i'll try that. thanks. [06:09] igoog: about the only way i know [06:09] Ben64: a good idea. thanks. ^^ [06:09] :3 [06:10] gohmifune: you mean like libraries in win 7? [06:10] gohmifune: need more info.. a symlink would work i think [06:10] my logitech mouse conects to bluetooth just fine in ubuntu 8.10 and 9.04 but always have trouble with 8.04 anyone els have same issue or know a fix? [06:10] mouseclone: that would mean, no compiz right? [06:10] otherwise, yea, it sounds like a symlink thing [06:10] ok so seriously strtok was a really crappy choice [06:10] Techie: if the card doesn't have drivers that will support it. [06:11] coaxmt: I don't know, I haven't tried it. I have a directory, and I want to create a sym link to it inside several other folders [06:11] Techie: i installed old drivers and they seem to have worked fine on an older PC running 9.04 [06:11] Techie: i can't say what 9.10 will hold for that though [06:11] gohmifune: you mean you want several folders to point to the same directory? [06:12] gohmifune: or do you want a parent folder with several symlinks that point to other folders? [06:12] gohmifune: you can do with with symlinks: 'ln -s name_of_real_file name_of_link' [06:12] and just make as many of those as necessary === whistleboy is now known as Whistleboy [06:12] I want a link to folder A inside folders 1, 2, 3 [06:13] hi [06:13] coaxmt: but I want to do it in batch [06:13] a link in several folders [06:13] I can't find the command [06:13] batch? as in, DOS? [06:13] where is folder A? [06:14] ln -s /home/user/A /home/user/[1-3]/A-folder [06:14] what are the advantages/disadvantages to installing ubuntu inside windows? [06:14] simple regex [06:14] Boffo: you still have Windows? [06:14] yes [06:14] Boffo: j/k [06:15] haha [06:15] Boffo: I have never used Wubi [06:15] my hd wont partition, so i have to settle with this for while until i buy a new one [06:15] Boffo: have an old PC with a small HD? [06:15] Boffo: at least 10gb? [06:16] 250 gig [06:16] i think it may be damaged from hard rebooting, i used to do that alot [06:16] id just unplug my pc [06:16] Boffo: and you can't partition it? what are you using to partition? [06:17] uhh the one that comes with ubuntu [06:17] ill post a screenshot of my error on imageshack and send the link [06:17] Boffo: how much freespace do you have? [06:17] 90 gig [06:17] s [06:17] Boffo: have you don't a defrag of the windows OS before trying to partition? [06:18] nope, would that be a good idea? [06:18] Boffo: in the BIOS, is MBR protection enabled ? [06:18] trying amaya now [06:18] Boffo: Yes! if you have data at the end of your drive it might not move it [06:18] stupid xhtml crap *mumble* [06:19] when i try to partition it, it says the maximum is 8 mbits (or megs) i forgot [06:19] innomen: have you tried scream? [06:19] mouseclone, no [06:19] mouseclone, is this an app or what [06:19] Boffo: you are trying to partiton the 8 mb of free space on the drive [06:19] can someone help me set up this software raid? [06:19] Boffo: windows uses that for dynamic disk [06:19] Boffo: you have to shrink your windows partition first [06:20] musikgoat: how do i do that? [06:20] innomen: it is used for html editing and web dev stuff. [06:20] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=290781 [06:20] innomen: don't know if that is what you are looking for [06:20] when i try to partition it on ubuntu liveCD, it gives me an error saying my hd is damaged [06:20] mouseclone, i'm just trying to convert an htm file to xhtml with something that will show me what its doing [06:20] Boffo: which version of windows? [06:21] Boffo: in windows run a Scandisk, and then a defrag [06:21] innomen: not sure if scream will do that.. [06:21] i'm gunna try amaya and if that dosent work i'll just do it with tidy [06:21] innomen: never hurts to do a quick install of it though [06:22] mouseclone, its not in add remove [06:22] Boffo: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=1700751&postcount=6 [06:22] i did a chkdsk earlier, because xp wasnt booting at all, just a black screen, so i did it in recovery console, xp works again, but i still cant partition [06:22] that is the best set of steps, basically what mouseclone said :P [06:22] "ln -s /home/user/A /home/user/[1-3]/A-folder" is only making a /home/user/A/home/user/3/A-folder [06:22] anyone? [06:23] innomen: screem is the name not scream [06:23] how long should a defrag take (roughly) on my 250 gig hd with 90 gig's free? [06:23] Boffo: depends, probly a few hours [06:23] mouseclone, oh, duhr sorry [06:24] heh [06:24] gohminfune: that is if the folders were named 1,2,3 [06:24] innomen: no worries I spelled it wrong [06:24] Boffo: the higher percentage frag the longer, but since you have alot of space it will be quicker [06:24] Boffo: memory helps as well [06:25] okay, thank you. i'd better start it now. one more question, i want to change my resolution to 1680x1050, and i have an ATI radeon x1600 [06:25] !ati [06:25] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [06:25] hey all [06:25] okay, thanks again for the help everyone [06:25] (Log Out, Shutdown, Restart, Hibernate) missing from panel .. [06:26] how do i restore them back [06:26] Hi all. I am trying to # sudo echo foo >> /etc/hosts file but i always get permission denied. What is strange is that I can use sed to change information but as soon as i try echo something i get permission denied, is this a security feature by ubuntu? [06:26] jimbeam12: click on your username [06:26] Boffo: or go to AMDs site and see if they have drivers for your card [06:26] iam in gnome desktop right now [06:27] jimbeam12: on the right, is your username near the time [06:27] ? [06:27] no its gone.. [06:27] list [06:27] Dyllan: echo foo | sudo tee -a /etc/hosts [06:27] !panels | jimbeam12 [06:27] jimbeam12: To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [06:28] Dyllan: when do you do sudo echo foo >>, only the part before the >> is in sudo [06:28] Dyllan: my understanding is that the sudo only applies to the echo. By the time you do the append, the sudo is finished so you don't have permission... [06:28] mouseclone: I know. I have in home, I folder A, and folders with 1995-2003, I'm trying to make a link to folder a in each of those folders 1995-2003, but what you gave me just makes the link in 2003 [06:28] do sudo sh -s 'echo "foo" >> place' [06:28] hello every one [06:28] OK guys that makes perfect sense thank you ! [06:29] i mean, sudo sh -c 'echo..." [06:29] ubotu ur da the man..thx [06:29] jimbeam12: ubotu is not a man [06:29] :P [06:30] i know its a bot... [06:30] but the bot helped..

[06:31] mouseclone, screem is neat and had a tidy option but it wouldent save as xhtml [06:31] alright, i'll stop, bed time :) [06:31] jimbeam12, ignore the haters, the machines appreciate being thanked [06:31] :) [06:32] ohh good...thats a relief.. [06:32] when windows apps used ot tell me "thank you" and give me an ok box i often wanted a second button that said you're welcome [06:32] I'm having a problem getting video on mpeg movies, i've tried installing vlc, mplayer, and installing codecs but no video, only sound... every other format works (flv, ogg, etc)... i'm not sure what to do here [06:32] anyone in here using kde.. [06:33] i recently installed skype 2.1, i can watch my webcam using cheese but not using skype [06:33] ffmpeg -i movie.mpg shows it as a mpeg1video... i've tried several videos to be sure it wasn't the file [06:34] anyone think they can help? [06:34] latiger: can you paste the output of mplayer when you try and play the file? [06:34] hi how can I pm here.. [06:34] jerald type /msg [06:34] jerald: /msg user message [06:34] jerald: or /query user [06:35] jerald: however, we ask that you keep things in the channel [06:35] i've only tried to play through the mplayer using gui, brb i will run it via command line [06:35] nice.. I'ts my first time to chat using xchat [06:35] mouseclone: i rebooted, now all i get is the command prompt [06:35] i'm on windows === ben is now known as Guest32930 === Guest32930 is now known as f2knight [06:36] hey back [06:36] jerald, ah, then you can right click on their nick and choose "Open dialogue Window" as well. On xchat [06:36] tell anyone using kde desktop.. [06:36] can i post url's here. The output is huge and would work better on a pastebin site [06:36] ? [06:36] and if so are they having problem rotating the desktop.. [06:36] hi [06:36] latiger: you should use pastebins here [06:36] latiger: yes, in fact, pastebin is required here for large texts === netsurf3_ is now known as netsurf3 [06:37] latiger: if you have a pastebin post that is relevant to your questions, please do give us the url [06:37] http://pastebin.com/m745ea395 [06:37] that is the output from mplayer [06:37] If you buy an iphone over the phone from apple, what area code number would you usually get? do they ask you? [06:38] johnwhaley: what? you only get CLI? any errors? [06:38] hey all, having two problems with ubuntu's cron - im cronning a script that kills and restarts a process every minute... why is it sending me an email every time it runs? [06:38] mouseclone: i did not see any errors [06:38] the second is theres a script in /etc/cron.daily that isn't running [06:39] heyy. [06:39] I have a acer aspire one and I been using ubuntu for a bit now, lovin it, but after I received my acer back from the repair center the web cam had not worked after a fresh install of ubuntu jaunty, I can not seem to get it to run can some1 here help? [06:39] latiger: all those 'Cannot sync MAD frame' messages usually mean the mpg is corrupt. Is it just this particular mpg file? [06:39] whenever i install my ati driver, the next reboot x is messed up and everything is black. [06:40] i've tried other mpegs (it's hard to find an mpeg to test with oddly)... let me try another [06:41] latiger: as a workaround, use ffmpeg to convert it to an avi? [06:41] gohmifune: I can't seem to get it to work from the cli either.. hmmm [06:41] gavin__, which ati card and which version of the drivers [06:41] Im new to packaging and as a test tried modifying alien it worked till this point.. the build came through successfully but get a gpg error at the end.. http://pastie.org/625551 [06:41] hello guys [06:41] how do i resolve it.. Im a total newbie...can anyone please help [06:41] mouseclone: you think it just can't be done? [06:41] celthunder: the latest version from amd website [06:41] anyone tried crunchbang or lubuntu. i'm doing a new install and can't decide between the two, not sure what the pros/cons/differences are [06:41] gavin__, card? [06:41] my card id ati radeon 3100 [06:42] peeps: lubuntu is easier [06:42] ahh, I would really like to not use a work around... what's odd is the thumbnail for the mpeg shows up on the file when it's listed [06:42] gohminfune: nope. [06:42] like the first frame shows as the icon in thumbnail view [06:42] gohmifune: it can be done [06:42] gohmifune, you have tried both? what is easier about it? [06:42] peeps: crunchbang more or less doesn't have the standard desktop metaphor, but it is good [06:43] peeps: lubuntu is very similar to kde, gnome, xfce, and windows as far as interfaces go [06:43] latiger: mpeg 1/2 is old technology, most people who compress stuff for tranmission use xvid/divx or mp4 which gives much smaller files for the same quality. VOB files on dvds are mpeg 1/2 ... [06:43] ok [06:43] peeps: crunchbang, it has been a while, but it was keyboard centric, you could use a mouse, but it wasn't designed for it. === Vantrax is now known as matthewlye [06:44] well anyone know? [06:44] latiger, from cli try "mplayer -vo gl filename" and/or try "mplayer -vo x11 filename" === matthewlye is now known as mattlye [06:44] peeps: programs were a non factor, and crunchbang was clean looking [06:44] wow [06:44] you're a genius [06:44] lol [06:45] Can anyone point me to good resources to using UBuntu for graphic design? (IE, a vector program, and fonts?.. and other stuff?) [06:45] hey all, having two problems with ubuntu's cron - im cronning a script that kills and restarts a process every minute... why is it sending me an email every time it runs? the other problem is a file in cron.daily isnt working [06:45] now the question is how do i default mplayer to pass those arguments === mattlye is now known as matthewlye [06:45] gohmifune, what do you mean programs a non factor? === matthewlye is now known as Vantrax [06:46] which is something i can figure out on my own, guess i need to read the man pages for mplayer [06:46] peeps: well, a terminal is a terminal, a text editor is a text editor. You are going to use your favorite programs no matter what desktop enviroment or WM you use [06:46] latiger, right click on an MPEG / Open With - click Add button and put the correct -vo into the command [06:46] i recently installed skype 2.1, i can watch my webcam using cheese but not using skype [06:46] felixsulla: install ubuntustudio-desktop, it will give u all needed things for graphics in ubuntu [06:46] hi guys, does anyone know how I can disable/reanble my touch mouse? [06:47] Zykotic you' [06:47] 're the man [06:47] gohmifune: funny that ls [1-3] does an ls in those dirs === sterlin_ is now known as sterlin [06:48] anyone know how to use this command?? [06:48] dmesg | grep -i "uvc" [06:48] mouseclone, i have good news, my card is now working really well with the proprietary drivers, which never worked properly in the past [06:48] are regex parsed when evaluating a symlink? [06:48] techie: gratz [06:48] latiger, alternatively there must be a way to add it to ~/.mplayer/config [06:49] coaxmt: if I understand your question, the answer is no [06:49] according to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AspireOne that command is suppost to tell me if my computer sees my webcam [06:49] anyone know how to write a script for nvclock for nvidia [06:49] yeah, I think I can get it from here... thanks a ton, I've been trying to figure it out for days and I try to use irc as a last resort... [06:50] losher: thats my though, I was actually asking it rhetorically regarding what mouseclone had said [06:50] mouseclone: this is weird. I'm heading out, but thanks for the help. I'm sure there is a solution [06:51] How can I disable the system beep? [06:51] am I being ignored here? [06:51] ShapeShifter499: normally you have to wait a while to get an answer [06:52] ShapeShifter499: be patient [06:52] ok ok [06:52] or ask on serverfault [06:52] Fragsworth: you can actually turn the beep down or mute it. that is the only way i know of but others may know how to actyally disable it [06:53] bastid_raZor: how do turn it down? that would be fine [06:53] Fragsworth, System->Preferences->Sound, Sounds tab, set "Alert" to Disabled [06:53] anyone know how to control fan speed in nvclock [06:53] Fragsworth: you can disable specific things that use it, and you can also blacklist the 'pcspkr' module [06:53] need to write a script....on startup [06:54] jimbeam, you can add it to your rc.local and it will run on startup [06:54] Fragsworth, FYI steps to disable http://moojix.wordpress.com/2008/10/31/disable-system-beep-under-ubuntu-completely/ [06:55] jimbeam12, that's /etc/rc.local [06:56] been looking for something simple... [06:58] you can set it as executable and add it to the 'startup programs' via the menu [06:58] hey i need help [06:58] Hey is there a ftp-like sever software that can run over https? basically a file browser with upload/download? [06:59] can anyone help me with wine [06:59] maybe... I bet wine has its own channel too [06:59] oh really [06:59] ask away [06:59] http://webfilebrowser.sourceforge.net/ <--- something like this but less ghay? === [1]Sergeant_Pony is now known as Sergeant_Pony [07:00] i did something earlier today, and it wont let me downgrade wine === H[a]di is now known as MethylphenidateP [07:01] it keeps reinstalling the same version nomatter what is in the synaptic [07:02] dg1: apt installs whatever the current version is. the only way to "downgrade" is if you were using a PPA or other build. [07:02] not quite, you can force a version [07:02] i tried force [07:02] coaxmt: if it's still in the archive. [07:02] in synaptic, select the package, and under the package menu choose 'force version' [07:03] yea [07:03] hi!! who can teach me how to transfer the fonts from below the icon to right side of the icon. I am referring to ubuntu desktop [07:03] it keeps installing 1.1.29 when i want 1.0.1 [07:03] you can download a deb of the one you want and install it with dpkg [07:03] and hope it doesn't break any dependencies [07:04] hi!! who can teach me how to transfer the fonts from below the icon to right side of the icon. I am referring to ubuntu desktop pls. pm me how to do it.

[07:14] nmvictor: Haven't really read up on encryptfs, but I believe the data is stored in a file which is loop mounted on a directory, so on windows you'd probably see an empty directory. [07:15] is there any benefit to joining an ubuntu machine to windows active directory? [07:15] idk [07:17] if 'uname -r' gives me a version that I can't find in /lib/modules, something is not right, right? [07:18] geirha: what if some fucked up dude hate seeing empty directories and decides its best placed in the recycle bin?is their a way to set permissions on the directory to prevent any one in windows from tampering with it, or maybe will ecryptfs create a new directory incase it find that it doesnt exist?

[07:21] CQ: PasswordAuthentication no [07:21] CQ: then you *must* have a key in wherever authorized_keys is set [07:21] mneptok: ah gotcha... that only allows access with keys [07:21] yes, thanks [07:21] mouseclone: you there??

I want to setup Remote Desktop connection I am using TightVNC because I'm trying to connect from Windows to a Linux box so I did gconftool-2 -s -t bool /desktop/gnome/remote_access/enabled true from command line but I can't connect any ideas on what to do? [09:22] axle: gparted is only a partitioning tool, you can mark that it is intended to be ntfs, it will need formatting ntfs [09:22] "every now and then" (perhaps once a week), when I boot up I have no net connection (no internet or LAN, and the light on the ethernet plug is turned off). doing "/etc/init.d/networking restart" has no effect on the problem, and rebooting rarely has an effect, though I have found that if I repeatedly unplug/replug the ethernet cable, eventually the light comes back on and /etc/init.d/networking restart works as expected. I am sometimes (but very very [09:22] rarely) disconnected after already having a connection, and if I don't have the problem "on boot" or "near boot" I don't have any problems for the rest of the day. If I boot into Windows, it always works just fine, though booting back into ubuntu the problem sometimes remains. Any suggestions? [09:23] help me pls???

[12:11] why is my dhcp not working properly, dhcpd3 is not running but PID exists [12:11] crystufer: me too, but sudo -i works too i think [12:11] you mean because it can cause damage?

I have a Matrox MGA G200 PCI twin output graphics card. I am googling this problem at the moment but have not foun [13:40] mrkiko: edit your keymap I guess? [13:40] Mhm.. ok! With what command? [13:40] jrib: Okay, I will now install Irssi and will configure it to work with bitlbee... [13:44] Why does Firefox have it's little crashes? (most annoying) [13:45] Firefox has become the deffinition of bloat and instability. [13:45] can it be fixed? [13:46] BS, it's never crashed on me [13:46] bcdln90: get rid of extensions and plugins, see if it still crashes [13:46] system crashed during apt-get upgrade. How do I fix some broken debs? Firefox does not start and my timezone is off [13:46] JhoannesSM64: Some people say that about Vista too. [13:46] EDinNY: dpkg --configure -a then resume upgrade [13:47] did that. says it found an error. now says nothing [13:47] * jrib tries to telepathically sense error [13:47] jrib: i don't any extensions [13:47] EDinNY: can't mind read right now, could you pastebin the error? [13:48] bcdln90: or plugins? [13:48] checking: [13:48] bcdln90: like flash... [13:48] don't have an error on screen. ran dpkg in recovery mode. now when I run it it does not find anything [13:48] EDinNY: resume the upgrade then [13:49] did that [13:49] firefox still is broke [13:49] EDinNY: broke how...? [13:49] does not start [13:49] !who | EDinNY [13:49] EDinNY: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [13:49] EDinNY: run it in a terminal [13:49] jrib, does not start [13:49] !patience | jrib [13:49] jrib: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. [13:49] EDinNY: do you get output? [13:50] need some help again with the atheros, i installed backports, can someone help me from start with the wireless? [13:50] !wifi > crackheadjunky [13:50] jrib: tried to run it in a terminal before you suggested it. no error [13:50] crackheadjunky, please see my private message [13:50] 3 [13:50] EDinNY: do you get any output? Do you get a new prompt or does firefox hold the terminal? [13:50] jrib: ps shows that it is NOT running. so it tries to start, then stops [13:51] hello [13:51] jrib immediately get a new prompt [13:51] EDinNY: does "firefox -safe-mode" work? [13:51] jrib, do you remember me? [13:52] JeoTheLeo: yes [13:52] phone [13:52] ok, now the CLI goes online...I'm on it right now [13:52] jrib: the flash seems to be the problem, accuweather and howtoforge were definate crashes and everything is fine thanks === flatline is now known as Guest82992 === Guest82992 is now known as kliklik [13:52] back [13:53] jrib, is there a way to refresh the firefox deb? [13:53] jrib, re-install it? [13:53] jrib /usr/bin/firefox does not do it either [13:54] this is my 1st time on ubuntu, tried a clean install, failed, but it runs off the cd? would rarther clean w98 off the hard drive and just keep this......help. [13:54] EDinNY: aptitude reinstall package_name [13:55] yeah can I use aptitude reinstall to upgrade my grub perhaps? [13:56] working from the CLI is definitely interesting but honestly, most things need more than just CLI to work [13:56] how do ireinstal it, always says the drive doesn't detect it, yet the drive works to run it off of the cd? [13:56] JeoTheLeo: most things that you are used to using. I spend most of my day in cli [13:57] balsaque: the live cd - runs totally from the cd. You dont even need a hard drive in the system [13:57] YeTr2, you honestly surf the net using CLI? [13:57] JeoTheLeo: My entire day is spent at the cli with only periodic detores into a window. [13:57] JeoTheLeo: lynx, links2 [13:57] Hello, I want to stop apt-cache from accessing the internet in 8.10, can anyone tell me how? [13:58] JeoTheLeo: I would love to have a job where I just surf all day. [13:58] theres that links -g also. :) [13:58] i feel like the windows 98 is a cancer still inside my computer, thought ubuntu would wipe it clean and leave ubuntu on the hard drive alone [13:58] I know, but most websites require java/flash [13:58] balsaque: you can tell the installer to 'use the whole drive' and it will erase everything and do just that [13:58] JeoTheLeo: for your happy fun-time stuff, yes. for my searching for information, no. [13:58] hmmmm [13:58] balsaque: or use the live cd, install gparted, and delete all the partitions on the hd.. then restart the installer. [13:58] i am the installer? how do i use the whole drive? [13:58] JeoTheLeo: you would be supprised at how many websites have a non-flash/java alternative [13:59] yeah [13:59] I've gotten a lot of good use of terminiator over the last month or two. [13:59] balsaque: the ubuntu installer asks how to do it.. "use whole drive" "resize" "use free space" or somthing like that. [13:59] Cyrano_De: i use Terminator all the time now also. :) [13:59] If only terminator had the disconnect/reconnect of screen, it would be the ultimate app. [13:59] well I'll try getting used to the CLI for a while since I'm forced to onto it both ways [13:59] dodn't see that, offered to instal with window, or install, or inform me === canthus14 is now known as canthus13 [14:00] anyone knows how to switch between the terminal and irssi from the CLI? [14:00] YeTr2: ran sudo aptitude reinstall firefox. says it did it, but firefox is still broken [14:00] JeoTheLeo: you are not using screen? [14:00] JeoTheLeo: Ren irssi in screen [14:00] this runs the internet WAY better than w98 [14:00] YeTr2: how do you remove firefox? [14:00] hmmmm, no screens on cli, remember :D [14:00] EDinNY: 'firefox' is a metapackage. I believe you are looking for firefox-3.0 [14:01] that is the actual name of the package. [14:01] ?? [14:01] hmmm [14:01] JeoTheLeo: Screen is a terminal app that lets you have multiple "virtual" terminals or screens. [14:01] I knew that was a metapackage. how do you remove a metapackage, then I will install it [14:01] EDinNY: Try deleting the .firefox directory (in .mozzila?) in your home folder [14:01] i suppose i can go to windows and just delete eveything myself [14:01] !screen [14:01] Screen is a window manager for terminal sessions, also useful over SSH. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Screen [14:01] ohh, thought you meant something else, sorry, my bad :S [14:01] Pizik: I considered that as a last resort [14:01] I'll install it now [14:01] brb [14:01] JeoTheLeo: theres screen, 'twin' and some other tool that can do mor ethen 1 'shell' per console window. [14:02] EDinNY: back it up first, or rename it and it will at least tell you if it is the issue [14:02] JeoTheLeo: 'screen' is a virtual terminal application that lets you spawn as many terminals as you need, and lets you disconnect from and reconnect to at any given time. [14:02] he left [14:02] the print on my screen is very smal when i am in ubuntu, can i make it larger? [14:03] Pizik: good idea. I have lots of experience with linux...just not in troubleshooting debian derivitives [14:03] eh.. I wouldn't know.. I disabled join/part messages.. got too many of them [14:03] system > prefs > appearance. [14:03] and there's a font sectino on the top i think [14:03] !info tmux [14:03] Package tmux does not exist in jaunty [14:03] is there any way to convert html to pdf... [14:03] EDinNY: `aptitude purge` to remove a package and all of it's configurations [14:04] kannan01: html2pdf, browser with pdf-printer [14:04] EDinNY: I have very little experience of Linux, but a lot of experience with troubleshooting (having used windows all my life ;op ) [14:04] kannan01: You could "print to file" [14:04] Pizik: I know how to fix some windows, but most of my experience is with RH type Linux [14:05] fixed that myself got the print size on the screnn bigger [14:05] kk [14:05] iceroot: Cyrano_De:tnx [14:05] never had firefox before [14:05] I want to stop apt-cache from accessing the internet in 8.10, can anyone tell me how please? [14:05] back :D [14:05] Pizik: apt-cache shouldnt be accessing the internet at all. [14:06] I thought apt only accessed the web during the update & upgrade processes. [14:06] this is unreal...computer wouln't run on th internet anymore with w98....now it flies with the ubuntu disc [14:06] EDinNY: did you try with the safe-mode switch? [14:06] balsaque....W98? why do you even have it [14:06] Pici: It is only my suspicion that it is apt-cache, my internet connection starts transfering data, and at the same time apt-cache is the only CPU consuming process running. [14:06] jrib, yes [14:07] balsaque: if you want to see even faster nets, you should try installing chromium :D [14:07] EDinNY: and? [14:07] does not start [14:07] EDinNY: does -ProfileManager start? [14:07] i am trying to wipe it off, thought this ubuntu would wipe it clean but it forced me to run th disc [14:07] one sec [14:07] brb [14:07] from console immediately get prompt [14:07] Pizik: Have you looked at the output of netstat -pant ? [14:07] EDinNY: open up a terminal, run firefox. is there any output? [14:07] ill look for that chromium d [14:07] Pici: nope, will that tell me the process that is using the network? [14:07] YeTr2: did that. none [14:08] Pizik: you may need sudo to see all the process names. Yes, thats for looking at processes using network resources. [14:08] EDinNY: dang.. that sucks [14:08] is there a way to find if your cd request has been accepted [14:08] YeTr2: with profilemanager and with safe-mode [14:08] ok, used screen properly this time [14:08] how else can i get rid of my old OP and end up with ubuntu all by itself? [14:08] EDinNY: wanna do some slightly more advanced stuff? [14:09] anyone have any idea why flash would randomly stop working in fire fox? [14:09] I want to do advanced stuff!...mememe [14:09] scrub: 64 bits ? [14:09] I recently added the line `export TERM="xterm-256color"` to my .bashrc file to enable more colors for vim. But now every time I reattach a screen session, my terminal window 'physically' resizes. Anyone have any idea why? [14:09] YeTr2: thats why I am here! I know the easy stuff. just purged. now gonna re-install [14:09] no 32 [14:09] EDinNY: `strace firefox 2>&1 > output.txt` [14:09] erusul: no its 32 bit [14:09] is there a way to find if your cd request has been accepted [14:10] well i am further along for today than i ever would have believed [14:10] scrub: did you restart firefox right after flashplayer install? [14:10] scrub: yes i rwad; then my theory does not apply :( [14:10] cant wait to be free of windows someday and master this [14:10] YeTr2: just re-installed firefox [14:10] EDinNY: did the problem resolve itself? [14:10] jauntycat: yes i installed flash yestereday and it was working fine now nothing. no errors like you have install flash or anything either just not displaying [14:11] YeTr2: no. how do I pastebin? [14:11] <|_SpY_|> hi... i have a pc with 4gb ram... anybody knows if i need install any special version of ubuntu for use 4gb ram? any x64 version ... or wont nedd? [14:11] is there a way to find if your cd request has been accepted [14:11] EDinNY: good question. [14:11] how do I pastebin? [14:11] scrub: did you install the .deb package from the official adobe website? [14:11] is urs amd [14:11] !info pastebinit [14:11] pastebinit (source: pastebinit): command-line pastebin client. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.11.2-0ubuntu1 (jaunty), package size 21 kB, installed size 344 kB [14:11] when i tried to di a clean install of ubuntu it took the uninstall part and the icon but not the actual ubuntu program itself...almost like windows blocked it [14:11] jauntycat: yes i did [14:12] how do I show multi line error here? [14:12] EDinNY: there is a cli utility called `pastebinit`, install it with aptitude [14:12] |_SpY_|: is urs amd [14:12] !pastebin | EDinNY [14:12] EDinNY: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel.

[14:12] aaron11_: I've not seen shipit decline a request unless somone asked for a large number of CDs. And even then, they suggested that they request them through their Loco team. [14:12] |_SpY_|: Standard 32bit is fine for anything 4gb and under. [14:12] anyone know , in 64 bit after removing flashplugin nonfree and moving libflashplayer.so to .mozilla plugins, why firefox keeps asking for flash? [14:12] scrub: did you try a reinstall of the package? if that doesn't work, try installing ubuntu-restricted-extras package, that worked out for me ;) [14:12] EDinNY: visit http://pastebin.com put the text in the box and hit paste, when the page changes, copy the new web address in the address bar and paste it here [14:12] indus: because libflashplayer.so is not 64bit?

Ctrl-A, A = last one used. [14:15] JeoTheLeo: The default binding is to use ctrl-a and the screen number. See ctrl-a and then ? for a list of the bindings. [14:16] thanks. [14:16] Hey guys, I am having an issue with VNCviewer, I can connect to the client machine, and the image comes up, but on the computer i want to view the screen, I can move the mouse, click buttons, but the image never updates [14:16] JeoTheLeo: To create a new screen "ctrl-a c" To switch between two screens "ctrl-a 1" and ctrl-a 0 [14:16] is there a channel for cigarettes [14:16] EDinNY: out of sillyness, what happens when you try to run firefox as a different user? [14:16] cordor: try #compiz [14:16] I <3 screen [14:16] IM trying to rember the name of a program similer to screen for the console..

[14:17] an0nmat1r: check the wine app database for help on it perhaps [14:17] brb [14:17] an0nmat1r: do you have wine fro the wine repo? why dont you use one of the MANY native irc clients? [14:17] it runs greate on fedora 11 [14:17] grawity: this was not screen.. this could split in other ways also. [14:17] Dr_Willis: You can split screen with "ctrl-a S" [14:17] grawity: i wish the packge manager had a tags function. [14:17] Dr_Willis: Doesn't it? [14:17] Cyrano_De: Yes.. i know.. but this was NOT screen. :) [14:17] Dr_Willis: I only know tmux out of similar ones.

[14:18] Pici: it worked similer to terminatlr [14:18] an0nmat1r: make sure you have added the wine repo to install wine [14:18] !info vwm [14:18] Package vwm does not exist in jaunty [14:18] ActionParsnip: i got the wine distribution from ubuntu's default packages found on the menu add/remove programs..

[14:19] an0nmat1r: the one maintained by the wine team may yield better results [14:19] cant get VNC to work properly, no one seems to know the solution either [14:19] Hey guys just wondering if anyone has encountered this. I'm trying to follow the binary driver howto (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI) and I get stumped after the first step. When I go to System > Hardware Drivers, I see nothing to enable, and see the msg "No proprietary drivers are in use on this system". My lspci says: 01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RS690 [Radeon X1200 Series] [14:19] just out of curiosity...are there games on CLI? [14:19] or how to i make it decorate the focus window only? [14:19] hmm never tried that one.. [14:20] JeoTheLeo: tons of them [14:20] bbl, need to get something to eat. [14:20] awesome [14:20] i used to use vnc on windows [14:20] jimbeam12: The bsd-games package has a few. Also: moon-buggy [14:20] sheepsy: cos you are using the open source drivers mostly [14:20] I'll use lynx's google to search for some :D === aaron11_ is now known as aaron11 [14:20] sheepsy: did you install the fglrx driver? [14:20] indus: I realize that. I'm trying to switch. Is there another howto on switching?

[14:21] I didn't install it, I thought that the howto steps would have a place for doing it automatically. [14:21] Pici: Not supported in 2.6.29 right? It's still supported in 2.6.28? [14:21] its all fixed Action..got the cards clocked..thx for taht [14:21] jimbeam12: nice [14:22] Pici: hmm , i thought it was for upto x 300 only [14:22] yeah and the jim beam is looking nice too....lol === bmullan_ is now known as bmullan [14:22] anyone know how to count the size of files in a directory that match a certain pattern? [14:22] indus, Pici: it also says that in the binary howto that it's up to x300... [14:22] indus, sheepsy: I have an x1400 and I don't think fglrx was working for me in Jaunty. I'm running Karmic now using the open drivers. [14:23] Pici: i believe as of now, x 300 , later they support above x 600 [14:23] Pici: so it should have wroked for you [14:23] ok, google is messed up in CLI [14:23] Pici: x1200 is pretty *new* [14:23] :) === serpp is now known as serp [14:23] anyone know how to count the size of files in a directory that match a certain pattern?

[14:24] bluebaron: find -exec is a VERY powerful tool [14:25] hello [14:25] indus: envyng-gtk over xorg-driver-fglrx? [14:25] ActionParsnip, yeah i know .. can't believe i didn't think about that [14:25] sheepsy: no, sorry. [14:25] sheepsy: hmm no [14:25] how to open port in ubuntu? thanks [14:25] bluebaron: np :) [14:25] bluebaron, echo "$(find .

All ports are already open in it. [14:25] sheepsy: first try xorg-flglrx if that wont work, try envy [14:25] indus: K. Let me try that. Thanks. [14:26] odiamar: they are all open unless you have added iptables rules using some firewall software [14:26] sheepsy are you having issues withthe open source drivers? [14:26] Somehow this was easier on gentoo. [14:26] but I just tried an online port checker. It says that port 80 is not open [14:26] indus: Yeah the effects are screwed up when I turn them on. Also I noticed performance problems with the open source ones. [14:27] sheepsy: aah effects, cant advice on that [14:27] sheepsy# [14:27] sheepsy: unfortunately AMD has stopped supporting that card. same thing happened with my Radeon 9600. you are stuck using the open source drivers here is a list of cards Amd moved to "legacy" status http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/linux/Legacy/Pages/radeon_linux.aspx?type=2.4.1&product=2.4.1.3.24&lang=English [14:27] odiamar: did you install a service that runs on port 80? [14:27] @sheepsy [14:27] nope I want to run a webserver here [14:27] odiamar: so install one... [14:27] odiamar: are you behind a router? [14:28] !lamp > odiamar [14:28] odiamar, please see my private message [14:28] @jrib yep [14:28] yep I'm behind a router [14:28] legend2440: bah [14:28] odiamar: then you need to port forward port 80 on the external facing part of your router to the internal IP of the web serving system [14:28] legend2440: That sucks :( This is my work computer. [14:28] so what am I gonne do? [14:28] so what am I gonna do? [14:28] legend2440: those are for the drivers from amd site,not the ones packaged with ubuntu [14:28] sheepsy: yes i know. i switched to nvidia [14:29] legend2440: Need to ask my boss for new hardware. [14:29] odiamar: its nothing to do with Linux, you need to configure your router properly [14:29] legend2440: I run nvidia at home. No problems. [14:29] right [14:29] I have to tweak my router [14:30] odiamar: set the webserving system to static IP to save issues whem the dhcp lease expires then configure the router to push requests on port 80 on your WAN side to port 80 on your web box [14:30] legend2440: nvidia has drivers for legacy cards, what about amd? do they ? [14:30] Ok this is a dumber question, I ran this step of the binary howto: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh linux-restricted-modules-`uname -r` What effects will this have and how do I reverse it? :D [14:30] aw I'm on a dynamic IP [14:31] can I still run a webserver? [14:31] Who are the french ? [14:31] Djvirus666, go away! [14:31] lol [14:32] Djvirus666: hi [14:32] odiamar: Yes, you can run anything. It only might be less convienent for the users - but there are services such as DynDNS where you can get a free subdomain for a dynamic IP. [14:33] another question guys.. How to install driver for nvidia geforce2 mx400? [14:33] odiamar: sudo apt-get intall nvidia-glx-legacy [14:34] hi [14:34] odiamar: better to install it from menu>system>admin>hardware drivers [14:35] !fr > Djvirus666 [14:35] Djvirus666, please see my private message [14:35] odiamar: doesnt matter, get a no-ip or dydns account [14:36] odiamar: you can then install a service to update the IP for the address every hour or so [14:36] Hi [14:36] Stupid ATI. [14:36] I have a dual screen setup and my screensaver is not going across both screens, does anyone know how to fix this? I'm runing 9.04 amd64. Thanks [14:37] I just restarted my computer, and now alsa keeps spitting out cracking noises =/ [14:37] odiamar: you shouldnt be running an xserver on a server really [14:37] how is that? [14:37] I have a Problem on Kubuntu live CD. The font is too big. How can i change it? [14:37] hello [14:37] sheepsy i think its true they dont support x 1200 also with [14:37] odiamar: the server install doesnt come with an x server for a reason [14:37] newer drivers [14:38] Any idea? [14:38] odiamar: you can run httpd on the desktop but slinging a desktop on the server install doesnt gain you anything [14:38] indus: Yeah that link that legend2440 provided pretty much said it. I think it'll work on 2.6.28 but then I remembered reading something about a way for turning the restriction off in jaunty and still running them, but I don't think that I want to bother with it. [14:38] Heero2007, increase the display resolution? [14:38] french ? [14:38] sheepsy ya i read it but dont bother === andatche_ is now known as andatche [14:39] !fr | Gabou89a [14:39] Gabou89a: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr [14:39] The screen resul. Is the biggest [14:39] sheepsy if you use hardy heron you get the nice amd drivers for x 300 also [14:39] indus: I know. It just sucks. I run jaunty with effects at home and it's awesome. [14:39] what is the alternative to rarp now? [14:39] hi runing "andlinux" which seems to be loosly based around backtrack i did sudo apt-get install grub which completed ok now when i do grub i get command not found where could it have installed to man grub works ok... [14:39] thank you storm22 [14:39] indus: :( I wanted a quick fix for work but if no then no :) I'll just bug my boss about getting nvidia maybe. [14:39] sheepsy at least nvidia have legacy drivers for older stuff [14:40] sheepsy but ati support open drivers ,now also being made for 4000 series, radeon HD,its being done my novell [14:41] indus: I'm running open drivers now and there are several problems with them on this dual head setup. [14:41] Hello, my network card isnt working on ubuntu ( Realtek RTL8168/8111 ) ethernet [14:41] zealiod: rarp is a defacto standard [14:41] sheepsy i hear dual head works better with open source drivres [14:41] Black_Phantom: i have the same rtl 8169 it works [14:41] indus: I dunno. For example, I got the infamous lines coming down the screen where the cursor on them gets corrupted. [14:41] Black_Phantom: how do you know it doesnt [14:41] ActionParsnip: But its not available in my kernel... [14:42] How can i change the res.? [14:42] ActionParsnip: i need to obtain an ip addres from a mac address on my LAN [14:42] i just cant access the net and the ethernet is plugged in === synegy is now known as synegy34 [14:42] Heero2007: can u change it from system>preferences>appearance [14:42] Black_Phantom: what connection type [14:42] indus: Also, with effects, my screen gets cut off and I get a dead area about 300 pixels too early. [14:43] I have a dual screen setup and my screensaver is not going across both screens, does anyone know how to fix this? I'm runing 9.04 amd64. I'm using "xrandr --output DFP1 --auto --right-of LCD" to get the dual screen active on my HP 8510w with the ATI restricted drivers. [14:43] indus, Broadband PPPoE connected through a router [14:43] Black_Phantom: same here [14:43] zealiod: try dig [14:43] Black_Phantom: which country [14:43] Black_Phantom: http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=13&PFid=5&Level=5&Conn=4&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false#2 [14:43] ActionParsnip: no need for it at all, its all open source [14:43] indus, Lebanon [14:44] k [14:44] Black_Phantom-> are you using computer now while chatting? [14:44] nvm [14:44] ricews: good question [14:44] :) [14:44] indus: thats the open source for the drivers ;) so "i know" ;) [14:44] ricews, actually my friend is absoulte beginner in ubuntu and hes experiencing this problem [14:44] am talking behalf of him [14:45] Black_Phantom-> you are chatting with us, are you using the same pc where you're having issues with that ethernet? [14:45] ricews, no [14:45] !fr > captnchaos [14:45] captnchaos, please see my private message [14:45] Black_Phantom-> give more details please [14:45] Black_Phantom: his router is not configured correctly [14:45] the router is TP-Link WR541G/542G router [14:45] then how come it runs on windows [14:46] on the same computer [14:46] nice company that realtek, quietly making good chips with open drivers [14:46] Black_Phantom: the router will obey ISO standards so is not an issue [14:46] Black_Phantom: you need to configure linux drivers [14:46] Black_Phantom: its difficult to diagnose with so little information === [A]Way is now known as [A]KangB [14:46] indus: Also, don't you find that the gfx performance of closed vs open drivers is better? [14:47] ActionParsnip: configure linux drivers? what is that supposed to mean [14:47] sheepsy: i have nvidia :P [14:47] indus: the drivers need installing and configuring to be effective, they may need certain options etc. The install instructions will detail [14:47] indus: Well when you tried it... [14:48] Black_Phantom-> a drawing of your network layout would help, easier to discuss pix or drawings [14:48] never heard of configuring a realtek linux ethernet driver [14:48] Am trying ActionParsnip realtek link, it contains a driver [14:49] Black_Phantom: it will need compiling. if you change kernel you will need to recompile the driver with the new kernels headers [14:49] Black_Phantom: i dont suggest you try that [14:49] :S [14:49] Black_Phantom: we will need some output from that pc [14:50] tell me some command for all the info u need [14:50] and i will copy it on the pastebin [14:50] from my friends computer [14:50] lspci , lshw -C network [14:50] it will take 1 minutes, hes online with me [14:50] indus: why not, its the official driver from the cchip manufacturers site [14:50] ActionParsnip: Is dig really suited to LAN lookups? [14:51] ActionParsnip: had a read through the man and did some tests... not sure thats going to work [14:51] ActionParsnip: compile , its too much i think, ubuntu already has done it for us, also not like amd where you really need latest stuff [14:51] ActionParsnip: realtek is a breeze really [14:51] zealiod: it will use your listed nameservers to give the details [14:51] ActionParsnip: iam sure his problem is simpler than what it appears [14:51] ok hes typing the commands, please wait for moments [14:52] indus: if you can find a way, be my guest. The drivers are a cinch to compile [14:52] ActionParsnip: but the addresses are private... [14:52] i will paste the output [14:52] ActionParsnip: no offence, its upto him [14:52] ActionParsnip: whatever it takes to get his internet working :) [14:52] zealiod: mac addresses are needed for the final hop so are required, dig (i think) gets that [14:52] If nothing works, we will try compiling. [14:52] because ubuntu without internet is nothing lol [14:53] Black_Phantom: hardly, you can still play frets on fire without www [14:53] ActionParsnip: notice how beautifully realtek lists all the source for almost every hardware without a fuss [14:53] ActionParsnip: nice chaps [14:53] indus: indeed, thats why they rock [14:54] hey i recently installed a clean version of Ubuntu jaunty but when i enter my password to login it just hangs there and does nothing any suggestions? [14:54] btw compiling a driver is just ./configure make make install, or something more complicated ? [14:54] ActionParsnip: and they do it so quietly without gimmicks etc, no marketing hype [14:54] anyways off topic :) [14:54] hello again can someone take the time to work with me on my wireless, i got the backports from jaunty, but i still dont have the wireless connectivity and lspci is still saying unknown atheros device [14:55] ActionParsnip: dude, i need your brain [14:55] ActionParsnip: ya help him [14:55] lol [14:55] :) [14:55] anyone at all?

I have a text file which contains for about 100 mac adresses and want see whether one if this mac's are in a other big text file of mac's. How can I do this? [15:48] beniwtv i don't know much about ubuntu honestly. i'm just installing it myself for the first time so perhaps it has a global local dns cache like windows or mac os. maybe a reboot would be a good test too [15:48] grawity, Shell [15:48] what version you can use [15:48] Ok...

[15:49] behappy: Anyway, elinks has a menubar, and in that menubar you should find 'Options'.

[16:30] occy1: dmesg should give you a /dev location when you plug in the camera. Then you'd manually need to mount it somewhere. [16:30] occy1: Alternativly, you may be able to see it in ~/.gvfs if your program supports that. [16:30] Pici: i do not know how it exactly works. anyway i know how to mount virtual disk [16:31] Pici: that shows up in ~/.gvfs/ as gphoto2 mount on usb#3A002,005 [16:31] are there any good howto's out there to set up dual monitors on a machine with an Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller on Ubuntu 9.04?

[16:38] occy1: I highly doubt that will work. But to see which device it is in /dev, use dmesg|tail or so [16:38] exco_: Then you should mention that in your bug report. [16:38] soreau: dmesg doesn't show anything such as /dev/blah already checked [16:38] occy1: Or you can use df -h to see where it is mounted [16:39] soreau: Its mounted using gvfs currently, it doesnt show up in df. [16:39] occy1: /dev/whatever has nothing to do with *mounting* it (you *don't* want to mount it to use testdisk on it) [16:39] occy1: It will probably only say something like sdc or something in dmesg [16:40] occy1: And LjL is correct. If you will be using /dev/sd* on it, you probably want to have it unmounted anyway [16:40] Pici: will download the recent karmic alternate and jaunty alternate final ... try again and then update the bug, thanks anyways [16:40] hello [16:40] LjL: testdisk is asking for /dev/sda only (which is the drive I'm running under heh) it won't see any other drive [16:40] I guess testdisk can't work with removeable media [16:40] how to chage position on awn manager [16:40] ?

[16:50] akaikaze: You would have to attempt to add a mode [16:50] IdleOne: so things like xorg - does it pull in all the bits for all the hardware written for it, or does it know which hardware I have and only install/update the bits for that? [16:50] Rods_Tiger: I don't believe it is that specific. if there is an xorg update it will install it [16:50] aha [16:50] ubunewbie: define broken kernel ? why not just reinstall the kernel package ? [16:51] soreau, doesnt give error message when u come bak nadda is cliked [16:51] IdleOne: so I probably only have modules that relate to this machine, or is it more like a livecd? [16:51] soreau: well, my card is running in master/ap mode, so monitor mode is no option. thing is, i regularly need to restart my hostapd as it crashes - so the idea is to make the cronjob check if there are ppl connected [16:51] ugliefrog: Pastebin the output of compiz --replace & [16:52] Rods_Tiger: you probably have other modules but only using the ones you need, if there is an update to a module you arent using the package will update but not use that module [16:52] ah.

[17:19] jpds: OK, thanks. [17:19] CSWookie: Your update manager should automatically provide kernel updates when there is one available [17:19] Whenever I try to boot my machine from the hard drive grub hands me an error 15 (which means: file not found). I have the pertinent parts of my /boot/grub/menu.lst (everything but the automagic-kernels stuff) pasted here (http://www.pastebin.ca/1575367) as well as the output of "fdisk -l /dev/sda" and a brief description of my partition schema. I would appreciate it if somebody could help me to get my jaunty system booting again. [17:20] ! grub | eurythmia_ [17:20] eurythmia_: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager.

[17:23] eurythmia_: You will notice the * in the output of fdisk is showing its set to an ntfa partition which is wrong [17:23] ntfs* [17:25] eurythmia_: i think you want (hd0,5), not (hd0,4) [17:25] soreau: not wrong, just not what you'd expect. Anyhow, it was booting fine until I did some partition manipulation today, and gparted decided it would be a good idea to rename my root partition from /dev/sda6 to /dev/sda5 [17:26] sipior: (hd0,5) would be my home partition (/dev/sda6) [17:26] crap. I have to go to class. be back in an hour or so. [17:26] eurythmia_: If you follow the links ubottu gave, you can have it fixed from a live cd in no time [17:26] eurythmia_: (hd0,5) maps to /dev/sda5, i believe. (the extended partition still counts) [17:27] sipior: Actually, hd0,5 is sda6 [17:27] soreau: ah yes, begins from zero. [17:27] hd0,4 is sda5 and so on [17:28] check your ip Ike.

I do not need windows now. how can i increase my partiiton size so that i can install more apps on ubuntu [17:32] is it better to have 8.10 with the 349 updates or should i do the 9.04 upgrade?

[17:33] In Windows XP it installs but the drive letter also don't show. [17:33] balsaque: Yes, do all updates first before doing the upgrade [17:33] oh wow i would have assumed the 9.04 upgrade would have covered most of the upgrades [17:33] jpds : currently i have only 3 gb remaining [17:34] that 2 of you said the same thing i better listen [17:34] pradeep: did you put /home on a separate partition? [17:34] MOUD: What does lsusb say while it is plugged in?

[19:02] exodus_ms: it's only 44 lines, only 23 of which are actual grub.conf ... the rest are the details of the partitions on my disk. [19:02] strep_]: http://techgyan.im/?p=63 [19:02] strep_], pradeep: you don't need to enable the root login, just use sudo to copy stuff there. [19:03] strep_]: don't enable root login [19:03] t0s, swap can be anywhere [19:03] strep_]: follow the link. it will help u [19:03] pradeep: please don't ever recommend someone enable the root login here, thanks.

See !root and !wfm for more information. [19:03] balsaque, that depends on your computer speed, and network connection.... but possibly.. [19:04] Flannel: my way works too :) [19:04] Flannel : agree [19:04] Flannel : Might be useful for some [19:04] thank you, i am dsl but on an 11 year old dell 400mgx with 768 ram [19:04] clean install though === kb is now known as Guest38358 [19:04] balsaque: what is your question? [19:05] pradeep: No, there's really no reason to do it and it's not officially supported. [19:05] Ben64 my password doesnt work after sudo su - [19:05] doesn't do anything [19:05] balsaque, could be normal if there are a lot of updates, don't you see a progress bar or something like that? [19:05] i would have thought i should do the 9.04 but 2 people said do upgrades 1st [19:05] strep_]: it should change your prompt [19:05] doing 349 update thanks [19:05] ben64@ben64:~$ sudo su - [19:05] root@ben64:~# [19:05] # means you're root [19:06] don't you ever call me unhelpful again. it took me 20 seconds on google to find what you were looking for.

Please don't tell people to "google it" when they ask a question. [19:06] thank you [19:06] wow this is intense [19:06] !who | balsaque [19:06] eurythmia_, I understand that, but have tried to understand why grub would fail in the first place? It's looking for a file to load that is obviously not located where it is looking, double check your /boot/grub/menu.lst file and sudo fdisk -l | grep -i linux your / is sda5 no? but it's labled 4 in your boot list? [19:06] webbb82, take it to #ubuntu-offtopic, you are in violation of the rules. [19:06] balsaque: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [19:07] pradeep all folders in flightgear [19:07] anyone experiecing problems with the gnome panel in the version of the gnome currently in the jaunty repo? it doesn't always successfully re-draw itself [19:07] i cannot add new folders in them [19:07] violation of what [19:07] <_cb> anyone can give me a quick delta between freenx/nomachine and ltsp?

[19:07] strep_]: can u be more specific [19:07] ok donr know how will fihure it out thanks [19:07] (for exemple add scenery or aircrafts) [19:07] all i did was ask if anyone new a good way to hook a zune to ubuntu [19:07] how is that [19:07] exodus_ms: that's because of the way grub labels drives ... hda1 = (hd0,0), hda2 = (hd0,1), etc. [19:08] eurythmia_, wait, you installed Ubuntu after xp correct? [19:08] can anyone address how I would solve RuntimeError: could not create GladeXML object when I boot pychess [19:08] hi [19:08] exodus_ms: yes. [19:08] ah [19:08] sorry everyone ill just leave [19:08] balsaque: ubottu is a bot, you can use it to send automatic messages to people [19:08] exodus_ms: what is the suspicion? [19:08] you guys are way ahead of what i would of ever imagined [19:08] eurythmia_, thats the hard way to do it [19:08] anyone knows good crack or keyegen for arcserve backup 12.5? [19:08] balsaque, I let it send you the info about mentioning names, its somehting a lot of people don't know when they first come here [19:08] balsaque: ubottu is a robot that we can have repeat canned messages !tab is a canned message telling you about tab completion [19:09] !tab |balsaque [19:09] balsaque: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [19:09] ok i read thatt thanks [19:09] diogo_79: not the correct place here [19:09] wierd this was running fsater before i got into the update thing [19:09] i now but iam desperate [19:09] thiebaude: well, ubuntu has been installed on the machine for about 4 months now. The only reason grub quit booting the machine is because I had to repartition and gparted changed device names (root partition used to be sda5, home was sda7, etc.) [19:09] still beating the hell out of w98 [19:09] searching and searching and nothing [19:09] balsaque: did you reboot after update? [19:10] amelue torrent lots of crack sites [19:10] nothing [19:10] diogo_79: please stop that here [19:10] eurythmia_, is your box loading xp after you boot, or is it just hanging on the grub error? [19:10] uh oh only if it made me do it [19:10] diogo_79, please cease discussing getting a crack NOW. [19:10] updates still going on [19:10] ok [19:10] exodus_ms: it's just hanging on the grub error [19:10] sorry [19:10] diogo_79 call arcserve and tell them your story. they may be willing to give you an activation key immediately with a credit card number [19:10] !piracy | diogo_79 [19:10] diogo_79: piracy discussion and other questionably legal practices are not welcome in the Ubuntu channels. Please take this discussion elsewhere or abstain from it altogether. This includes linking to pirated software, music, and video. Also see !guidelines and !o4o [19:10] as far as i know [19:10] diogo_79, this is not an appropriate channel for that discussion, and in fact I believe it's against Freenode policy entirely. [19:11] ok gus [19:11] guys [19:11] balsaque: it is still in the middle of updating ... updating takes up resources (until it is done) [19:11] balsaque: are you updating in a text only environment? [19:11] configuring getit now is that ok [19:11] anyone in here use LMMS? [19:11] 9.04, geforce fx5500, I'm at 640x480, and adding modes to xorg didn't do anything. How do I get higher resolution? the monitor does 1600x1200 under XP. [19:11] !anyone | M03BIUS [19:11] M03BIUS: 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? [19:11] eurythmia_, the only thing I can think of is repair grub on the xp partition, if thats what you installed first and if that what you want your "1" choice to be [19:12] Does anyone use LMMS in here? [19:12] what ubottu just said doesn't make any sense to me heh [19:12] M03BIUS: you have a real question? [19:12] configuring getit now is that ok am i on track [19:12] yes [19:13] balsaque: yes [19:13] balsaque: gedit, and sure. [19:13] ubuttu hasn't passed the turing test [19:13] I'm setting up hotkeys with Compiz Commands -- Anyone know how to launch a location (file browser) from cli ? [19:13] exodus_ms: I'm confused. I installed grub on the MBR ... ntldr is the only bootloader installed on the XP partition. [19:13] whew thank you you people are unreal\ [19:13] daevski: nautilus /path/to/location [19:13] hey, how do you convert a .img to a .iso? [19:13] i have never done an instal i wsince 1998 if i get thru this.... [19:13] guys where in ubuntu is the firewall [19:13] fccf -- You're the best :) [19:13] I just installed Xubuntu, must say its rather nice. Except I seem to be stuck at 800x600 resolution [19:14] !resolution [19:14] The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution [19:14] !ufw | diogo_79 [19:14] diogo_79: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. 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). GUI applications such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist [19:14] k thanks [19:14] dang, I was beaten by a bot [19:14] coaxmt, haha [19:14] well, he said it better than I could have [19:14] doing all the updates first [19:14] ok thanks [19:14] I seem to be having trouble getting sound to work in Linux multimedia studio, does anyone in here use lmms? [19:14] when packaging a server. what is the part where I create a system user ? === war is now known as pusher [19:15] in text mode ubuntu, the console wants to go blank after a short time of inactivity. how do i disable that if possible? [19:15] seems like i have slowed it down since i began with the updates though [19:15] hey - i've got an lcd t.v. with a native resolution of 1366x768@60hz [19:15] Already tried the hints in !resolution. [19:15] 9.04, geforce fx5500, I'm at 640x480, and adding modes to xorg didn't do anything. How do I get higher resolution? the monitor does 1600x1200 under XP. [19:16] now doing libpam? [19:16] eurythmia_, what about this #/dev/sda1 1 11 88326 de Dell Utility I know you have your boot list to start at (hd0,4) [19:16] balsaque: It knows what it's doing. Leave it alone. [19:17] i've run various configuration steps (including dexconf and dpkg --reconfigure) but i just get the bog standard xorg.conf... i tried manually adding a SubSection to 'Screen' in my xorg.conf but that just causes a syntax error? [19:17] exodus_ms: you want me to try making that the first entry in the grub list? [19:17] eurythmia_, I'm sorry boot is selected at #/dev/sda2 according to your fstab [19:17] yes i dont bother it am operating on trust ,thrusting the intelligence of you all knowing nothing is as bad as w98 [19:17] how can i try and force x11 to display at this res? when it starts X in 'low graphics mode' X starts up OK. [19:17] Edward123: restricted driver installed? [19:17] hey, how do you convert a .img to a .iso on ubuntu? [19:17] Edward123: or any other nvidia-driver? === keffie_jayx_ is now known as keffie_jayx [19:18] Rabbitbunny: did you install the nvidia drivers for your card? [19:18] ctmjr: Yes. [19:18] iceroot: no restricted driver for my card - it's ATI Raedon 9200 [19:18] just wonder if it will ever end [19:18] exodus_ms: yeah, sda2 is selected as a bootable partition ... but the bootloader installed on the MBR can *override* that. I suppose I could try disabling the boot flag on /dev/sda2 to see what happens. [19:18] Edward123: ok, ati driver installed? [19:18] am so used to w98 failing [19:19] Rabbitbunny: see if you have nvidia-settings installed in terminal type nvidia-settings [19:19] iceroot: how can i check? the ubuntu docs i've read say if your card is older than a certain version you should just use 'open source drivers'... which i presume come with X? [19:19] eurythmia_, or change the *override* and set your boot list to start with that one [19:19] ubuntu: why do you want to convert it? you can mount .img files in ubuntu [19:19] ctmjr: Yes it is. That's also under Admin, and no, it doesn't have the higher resolutions listed, and it doesn't have a way to add them. [19:20] now is doing vinagre... [19:20] having a nick of "ubuntu" must be hell in this channel. my nick beep alert would go crazy [19:20] exodus_ms: I just removed the boot flag, now I'm rebooting (into knoppix again). [19:20] eurythmia_, then after that you can configure grub however you want, or just reinstall grub and let it find everything all over agian === kb is now known as Guest76188 [19:20] roygbiv: yeah, im on a livecd and i want to make a usb startup disk for ubuntu netbook edition, but the usb startup disk utility in ubuntu only does .isos. and the unr on the server is saved in a .img format [19:21] in what file does grub store the boot settings ? [19:21] list.. sth? [19:21] what was ist? [19:21] Guest37623: /boot/grub/menu.lst [19:21] hey... can anyone help me to set up NIS correctly? im missing something that doesnt allow me to bind [19:21] :) thanks [19:21] !details | ltcabral [19:21] ltcabral: Please give us full details.

[19:26] daevski: ps ax [19:26] ubuntu hmm can't say i have an answer to that one [19:26] still very new to ubuntu here [19:26] livecd has repos. [19:27] fccf: says that file is not available [19:27] iceroot: what kind of details do you need [19:28] ltcabral: usefull details [19:28] mm is there a way to force a resolution change using something other than the xorg.conf file? maybe then i can see what it writes in there and use that s an example? [19:28] iceroot: like?

[19:30] fccf: thanks. i installed the deb, now how do you run it? :) [19:30] iceroot: is that the same as my NIS domain? [19:30] Rabbitbunny -- that's helpful, thanks. I'll look into ps more. [19:30] ltcabral: normally yes [19:30] daevski: np [19:31] ubuntu: usb-imagewriter from terminal.. I think [19:31] tasslehoff: you there? [19:31] fccf: i did that, it said nothing even though the .deb installed correctly. [19:32] Maritim: I've done it on Leopard as well, but to install SL I had to start from scratch, since it wouldn't install until I have reblessed "the bootloader". now I thought I'd install dual boot again, but rEFIt doesn't work [19:32] fccf: im on a livecd if that matters [19:32] Maritim: yep, just a lot to type :) [19:32] tasslehoff: rEFIt doesn't work? [19:32] firefox is running slow in jaunty. Any suggestions? [19:32] iceroot: i added but same error [19:33] ubuntu: look in Applications>accessories>imagewriter ??? see if it shows up there?

You're lookng for (WW) or (EE). [19:36] Maritim, orksbane That's exactly what I've seen with Firefox. After the last few updates, it's been going to crap. I wonder if the Mozilla guys are aware of this. [19:36] Maritim: orksbane: Try opera, Firefox is fat. [19:36] Rabbitbunny, yep opera [19:36] is opera in the repo? [19:37] mmm Rabbitbunny the only WW or EE entry is saying that it can't find the cyrillic font directory so far [19:37] Maritim: I have the 5.1, and it gets too hot in Intrepid, but in Karmic the nvidia-drivers supposedly perform better [19:37] I don't see opera in the rop [19:37] !opera | Maritim [19:37] Maritim: opera is an advanced and free (only as in price) web browser.

[19:39] look in synaptic, add/remove doesn't have everything [19:39] Jaunty [19:40] when i check out my config file i can see it recognises the card properly, all looks fine as far as i can see - only odd thing is that it lists the BIOS location @ 0x??????.../13 [19:40] and i doubt that even indicates anything is wrong [19:40] coaxmt, Don't worry about it. I found the Ubuntu help doc for that [19:40] Hello, somebody knows a software that identify the song name just listen the song ? [19:41] You could try music brainz [19:41] <^mNotIntelligent> hello everyone! [19:41] ^mNotIntelligent, hi [19:41] nota9, but music brainz just try to watch if the music is inside a CD, not a independet song, for example [19:41] yea, I was going to suggest music brainz. they have some software that analyzes the sound [19:41] there's no v4l2 on my machine, I wanted to extract the files to the same dir the v4l is in.. that seems ok, doesn't it? I don't get permission to unpack, but where else should it go?

Thanks! [19:42] opera is free? [19:42] c'mon, anyone? [19:42] nota9, I'll try [19:42] what can go wrong if you put stuff in the / dir? [19:42] the root dir [19:43] music brainz picard should be in the repos [19:43] ie, sudo apt-get install picard [19:43] hello, I'm trying to think of how to backup my linux system from one to another. I believe that the way the kernel works and such, there's nothing from stopping me to just tar and gzip the entire filesystem (excluding /proc, /dev, /sys) and then restoring the tar on another computer - will that work?

[20:03] roygbiv: hmm, I think I will dump it and just rsync stuff back up [20:03] roygbiv: thanks [20:03] captnchaos however I would still like to crack this little problem [20:03] that's probably a better way [20:03] np [20:03] Vinceman: why do you want to move the sources there? [20:04] it seems logical to put v4l2 where v4l is [20:04] okgg [20:04] Vinceman: the guys that designed the kernel know why they put v4l and v4l2 in two different folders [20:04] roygbiv: 5GB is only 10% of the drive, I had a small electrical fire while backing up, and lost power in mid backup, quite exciting. :) [20:04] how do i install a deb package when the installer keeps closeing [20:04] phobos [20:04] heh [20:05] Vinceman: and if you still want to try... use "sudo nautilus" or "sudo cp" [20:05] alguem fala portugues?

I am intending to create a soft link to a program I have recently installed to put on my desktop. The problem is though, that I don't know where the program executable is located. Not really familiar with how the filesystem works and how all files are arranged, etc, but I can't find the executable in /bin. What do I do next?

[20:19] Vinceman: What exactly are you trying to do? [20:19] trism: he wants to install v4l2.... not a python binding. the binding is if you want to develop some v4lpython apps [20:19] erUSUL, are you asking for what program? mnemosyne [20:19] Hello all...

[20:23] crackheadjunky, I'm not really sure what your problem with the wireless is, but I had heaps of problems getting my atheros chipset wireless wpa running.. WHat fixed it really smoothly was simply installing wicd and rebooting the computer [20:23] Maritim: pressing C did the trick. rEFIt appeared, and has done so on every boot since :) [20:23] Rabbitbunny: that wont fix it, i already did that, and i cant seem find the correct driver on that site [20:24] Yoman: how do i install wicd? [20:24] crackheadjunky, apt-get install wicd I guess [20:24] Vinceman: Yes. I'm unsure of another way to configure your camera, but thats at least will be somewhat productive. [20:24] crackheadjunky: What site? That instructs you to install a package. [20:24] the site on the forum. [20:24] crackheadjunky, its a gui for wireless devices [20:24] Yoman: apt-get doesnt work with wicd [20:24] crackheadjunky: What version are you running?

[20:27] Rabbitbunny: sorry, i know in alot of things it matters, but it doesnt matter in this instance [20:27] crackheadjunky: run "sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-jaunty", if it installs reboot and hope. [20:27] crackheadjunky, that command worked for me. first "sudo apt-get update", then "sudo apt-get install wicd" [20:27] Since Ubuntu 9.04 a different audio driver is seen by Alsamixergui (PulseAudio... don't see my Intel HDA controls) [20:27] crackheadjunky: You hope it doesn't.

[20:28] couldnt find backports jaunty [20:28] a joke? [20:28] crackheadjunky: See? it matters. [20:28] Vinceman: What do you mean? v4l2 is not a package in itself. [20:28] do i need to creat a ~/.mailcap file in order to override system wide defaults for mime types? basically i want lynx to prompt me to download images by default rather than open them in fbi. [20:28] Rabbitbunny: only because i dont have the right repos added [20:29] help setting up email on here? [20:29] crackheadjunky: Okay well, when you get ahold of that package, it should fix everything for you. [20:29] or should i just do gmail? [20:29] Rabbitbunny: thats why i need someones help that knows better than me [20:29] Pici after the effort it is not nice to see it lead to nowhere [20:29] Vinceman: the v4l2 modules are part of the kernel packages.

[20:30] (rabbit) do i do ubuntu email or google or what [20:31] Rabbitbunny: ok, how do i add the jaunty backports? [20:31] Vinceman: I don't know, but I'm sure you're going down the wrong path by trying to install v4l2 bindings. You don't need that because you already have v4l2 installed. [20:31] (rabbit) ok you said gmail [20:31] Rabbitbunny: maybe thats a better question [20:31] crackheadjunky: You wasted 10min of my time by not telling me that, Use google to figure out how to add repos and get the package you need. [20:31] Pici since I already ran the first three commands in python, is this a problem? [20:31] Vinceman: No. [20:31] but we cannot solve the problem [20:31] Vinceman: right click on a flash element in a webpage and choose Configure. there is a tab to configure the webcam [20:32] Vinceman: inm my case it only says no webcam found becouse i do not have any [20:32] Rabbitbunny: did it really waste your time? no. but if thats what you need to get out of helping me, then great. thanks for your time.

[20:50] i am new in linux [20:50] !!! [20:51] wish i could, didnt store it though, and i reinstalled ubuntu two times today so don't have the log [20:51] trism, dang, i was hoping it was somewhere outside of /home because my / is full and I am trying to figure out what I can delete. i have no idea what filled my / folder [20:51] heh [20:52] marlo enters, says he is new to linux, then leaves. i guess he just had to get that off his chest [20:52] theres a huge list of uppdates after fresh install [20:52] ;p; [20:52] how handle it? [20:53] should some of it go first? [20:53] mazda01: if I'm trying to figure out where all my space has gone, I often do a du | sort -nr > ~/usage.txt [20:53] bliiixt: the system takes care of the order of the updates [20:53] mazda01: it will list the directories that take the most space at the top [20:54] ok, then there should be something else wrong... [20:54] mazda01: err, for all of / that should be du / | sort -nr > ~/usage.txt [20:54] what's the correct way to remove all non-critical packages? [20:54] (yes, I'm serious; yes, I know what I'm doing) [20:55] hi [20:55] the linux-restricted-modules thing that gets checked automatically when i check the linux kernel brakes when i run the uppdate [20:55] then i can't remove it with the package handler [20:55] bliiixt: Run it, get the errors. Once you have a copy of the errors it can be fixed. [20:56] ur right, ok, thanks [20:56] Ok now that you got me excited and my CPU use went from 70% to 10%. How do I install the SSH server thru a command line [20:57] Flats: sudo apt-get install openssh-server [20:57] hi, is this possible?

[21:00] might i be able to ask someone for help? [21:00] syntax\: the same [21:00] TiamatStudios: just ask [21:01] TiamatStudios, feel free to ask ;) [21:01] trism, yeah. the problem is that I am mounting several directories over samba and nfs and I just don't understand what could be taking up the space. we're talking about 3 to 4 GB's that just disappeared. I did use devede but I thought I wrote it to /media/500gb/tmp which is a mounted NFS drive. [21:01] alright, my installer packages have all gotten corrupt and im unable to install anything updates or general programs. How can i fix this? [21:01] erUSUL it did not work [21:02] TiamatStudios: how did that corruption occur? [21:02] erUSUL, are all the flash apps the same? [21:02] mazda01: hmm, no idea [21:03] in the middle of a system update the whole thing froze up and did nothing so i ended up having to restart [21:03] Vinceman: dunno really; as i said i do not even have a webcam [21:03] Hi, can someone help me compile a kernel module [21:03] fuck you mom [21:04] I can't seem to set the path for arm-eabi-gcc [21:04] mazda01: if you use du (like trism said) with -x you get only local folders and if you use -s you get only sums for whole trees [21:04] !ot | arber4444 [21:04] arber4444: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[21:06] Amaranth: no but 22:03 < arber4444> fuck you mom <<< deserves something [21:06] have a good day [21:06] does anybody know.. the window you get when you right click a youtube movie, how can you fix something wrong in your device selection?

[21:07] mazda01: I usually use something like du -sx /* | ...., and then from that on the next biggest and so on [21:07] tisepti: anything automatically installed by that package will only be removed if you do a sudo apt-get autoremove [21:07] Amaranth: fair enough. i just ignored him. thank you for your time anyway [21:07] I've re-installed ubuntu, and have 2 main issues - high CPU usage when browsing folders in nautilous and I can't get the duel-head to work, even though I used the hardware installer to install the ATI drivers [21:08] OK ssh was a bit too complicated to figure out so I dropped back to telnet. It seems pretty basic but it appears I'm using Xinetd and it flashed something baout converting. does any of this make sense [21:08] tisepti: although if the dependencies are important, you'll probably want to set them to manually installed so autoremove won't remove them [21:08] Since i have ubuntu on my ps3 I was wondering it anyone knos of any good fps games? [21:08] Here's one I can't figure out: One PC, no floppy, no CD-Drive, can't boot from USB or Network. Ubuntu is already installed on first HDD, but I need to install it to the second HDD, which is supposed to replace the first one. How do I do it? [21:08] Amaranth: where's the PM? that was said in this channel. scroll up. [21:09] LjL: ah, so it was [21:09] LjL: Well, he is already gone [21:10] can alien be used to convert from tar.gz to a deb? === occy1 is now known as trae [21:10] wasnt able to find the flags for it... [21:10] wrapster: No. Assuming you mean a source tarball, you should look into Checkinstall [21:10] trism: are you sure i get a two lists - one that is no longer required (packages i assume that package x depended on - and nothing else did - which is what autoremove would do? ) and a list of "The following packages will be REMOVED" [21:11] tisepti: well, if there are packages that depend on the package you are removing, they will be uninstalled too, because otherwise they would be broken [21:11] checkinstall? [21:11] Okay so Im trying to install my new graphics card but the only type of plug it seems to have is a 3 pin port... My computer doesnt have any 3 pin power cables I dont think but this card came with a short cord that seems to have 3 pins and fits into the card... On the other end of it it has two black things one says GND and the other says SPDIF... What do I do? [21:11] just started learning these things can you be descriptive please [21:11] is there a tutorial on how to build an ubuntu package from a software that doesn't need compiling? [21:11] why are there nine linux-headers directories in my /usr/src directory? [21:12] shawn_: That sounds like a connection for getting sound for an HDMI output.

[21:13] trism don't you need merely one kernel? [21:13] Amaranth Im sorry but I dont know where else to go to ask... How am I supposed to plug power into this graphics card then? [21:13] trism: the packages scheduled to be removed are ones for which i wrote the dependency lists for; I am testing an alternitive dependency [21:14] What happens if you press middle mouse button in the gnome-terminal??? [21:14] shawn_: you should ask the manufacterer of the card or ask where you bought the card [21:14] shawn_: The port on the motherboard provides power, only some cards need an extra power connection. Sounds like you don't have one of those. [21:14] shawn_: /join #ubuntu-offtopic [21:14] trism? [21:14] ManDay: It should paste any text you have highlighted into the terminal [21:14] Vinceman: yes, you really only need one, although it's good to keep the last few in case you have a problem with the most recent one [21:15] okokokookkookokkook [21:15] Vinceman: although I just leave them all installed cause I don't feel like messing with it [21:15] Amaranth... Are you saying it will just work without any other plugs going into it? [21:15] hey guys , how can i make connection to auto reconnect when its disconnect ( DSL connection ) ( Sorry for my bad engilish ) [21:15] trism well something messed with my PC so I think I should simplify things [21:15] wow ubuntu irc [21:16] mazda01: yes, the usual procedure is to drill down to the (one) big folder and then type ls -l | sort -nr -k5 [21:16] nick neil [21:16] tisepti: not sure I can really help you there, but apt-get really should only remove a single package unless some other package depends on it [21:16] Amaranth, ok. My problem is that usually MMB is used for compiz - so is the upper left edge - this usually works - even in fullscreen, but then - ocasionally it just stops working and reverst to MMB=paste, upper left corner=useless behaviour [21:16] <--- neil [21:16] NEIL [21:16] DONT steal my name :( [21:17] nick neil.sun [21:17] !ot | x[x] [21:17] x[x]: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[21:33] EuphoniC, not sure. i would think that flash is faster than IDE though but I could be wrong. [21:33] I'd say sure as long as /var and /tmp were on a tmpfs [21:34] haris: they don't do any harm :-) [21:34] guntbert, darn. I know how to use find / -size 100mb but not sure how to exclude the NFS moutned shares/ [21:34] it's for personal use, but professional but with ftp server, http server, 10-15 users that will be using it [21:34] EuphoniC: important is not using swap on a flash-drive [21:34] haris: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -plow console-setup ...this also has the settings for your default keyboard, fonts etc so be careful answering the questions [21:34] I mean /var and swap [21:34] sorry [21:34] is it possible to insert a line to crontab without typing crontab -e? Like issuing a command directly at prompt? [21:34] haris: go to /etc/event.d/ rename the tty you do not need to ttyn.disabled (for example) [21:34] mazda01: my best advice for this : man find (and some spare time :-) [21:35] iceroot: ah :( [21:35] ah thanks erUSUL (and guntbert that doesn't really answer my question .. I know they do no harm but I still want it removed. This is not Apple now, is it? I should be able to customize my system) [21:35] help [21:35] Pici, another error concerning my webcam: Guvcview error: Couldn't query device capabilities Make sure the device driver suports v4l2 [21:35] !ask | Neil_Sun [21:35] Neil_Sun: 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. :-) [21:36] EuphoniC: imo its better to use a real hdd instead of flash-drives for server [21:36] erUSUL, the /etc/event.d tip was very handy. Appreciate it :) I just commented the "exec /sbin/getty" line in them [21:36] gnome-app-install [21:36] trism, another error concerning my webcam: Guvcview error: Couldn't query device capabilities Make sure the device driver suports v4l2 [21:36] haris: you should probably keep one or two spare terminals [21:36] guntbert, thanks for the help thus far [21:36] haris: I think tty1 is required for some things [21:36] anyonw knows how often gnome rereads gconf2 config? [21:37] gladideg crontab files are stored in /var/spool/cron/crontabs so you could e.g echo "" >> /var/spool/cron/crontabs/gladideg, then sighup cron to pick up the change [21:37] stupid server wont boot from sata, all my ide disks have gone to hell and it's not very econimically "smart" to buy a new IDE drive, they're expensive as shit, you get 250GB for the price os a 1TB SATA :S [21:37] lstarnes, that i will, yes thanks .. I am just trying to kill all processes that I know I don't need and tty1 has some of the boot time messages [21:37] erUSUL: Ah, nice, wasn't aware of that method. I've been setting it the other way [21:37] iceroot: how come? under standard use, no reason to expect a flash stick to fail any time soon. [21:37] EuphoniC: buy a sata/raid controller :) [21:37] mazda01: np - and good luck (btw there is a GUI app too - I'll have to look - if you still got enough space) [21:37] speaking of USB-memory, then you should use a solid state disk for swap either? cause it's pretty much the same isn't it? [21:38] iceroot: I do have SATA controller but for some reason it can't boot from it, don't understand why [21:38] genii: well not a method but more of a hack :) [21:38] nanotube: limit write access is not nice for a server (swap, logging, ftp usage) [21:38] Is there a command line equivalent for NetworkManager? [21:38] haris: ifconfig, ifup, ifdown, /etc/network/interfaces [21:38] hello [21:38] haris: if you switch from networkmanager to wicd, then you get the neat wicd-curses interface. otherwise, just use the standard commands... [21:39] anyone can help me with the function SuspendThread() ?? [21:39] EuphoniC: the bios cant boot? or ubuntu cant detect it? [21:39] haris: cnetworkmanager ? never used it but it is there [21:39] cocacoca: what language is that in? [21:39] haris: http://vidner.net/martin/software/cnetworkmanager/ [21:39] it's from windows api [21:39] iceroot, I was actually looking at it from a more wireless networking point of view. Wired I am familiar with, it's just the wpa-supplicant part .. i didn't know wicd had a curses interface so thanks nanotu will try that out .. and erUSUL cnetworkmanager wasn't in the repos, so will check your link out .. thank you [21:39] does anyone know how often gnome rereads gconf2 config when logged in? [21:39] !info gdmap | mazda01 [21:39] mazda01: gdmap (source: gdmap): Tool to visualize diskspace. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.7.5-4ubuntu2 (jaunty), package size 44 kB, installed size 244 kB [21:39] * erUSUL we need a package of that [21:39] cocacoca: ehrm... aren't you in the wrong channel for that? :) [21:39] cocacoca: and windows has what to do with a ubuntu-channel? [21:39] hi. I trying to clarify how large Ubuntu makes the swap partition by default. E.g. if you have 1Gb, how big the swap? If 2Gb, how big swap? If 4Gb, how big swap? [21:40] iceroot: i installed ubuntu on a sata, that was fine but when i reboot it can't find the drive even though the drive on the first slot on the controller and the bios has been setup to boot from that [21:40] Gizmo_: it's up to you to decide that [21:40] yes but i can't figure out the problem [21:40] Gizmo_: if you want to hibernate, you need at least the size of your RAM for swap [21:40] Gizmo_: maybe more [21:40] i should get a new server, it's an old p3 800 that has caused sporadic boot problems in the past [21:40] roygbiv, I figured out a file in /etc/cron.d/ would be just fine for me :-) Thank you [21:40] because it blocks the thread but it blocks also the main [21:40] EuphoniC: using raid? i had the same problems, i must use the alternate cd for that (only jaunty is working) [21:40] Vinceman: no idea, I never actually managed to get my webcam working in linux [21:40] so if anyone can help me... :D [21:40] lstarnes: i seem to recall though, that if you just accep the auto configuariton and say "Use entire disk" it automatically allocated a swap partition [21:41] cocacoca: tried looking at the docs? http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms686345%28VS.85%29.aspx [21:41] cocacoca: ##windows [21:41] hi [21:41] only software raid and not booting from raid [21:41] trism my webcam works locally, except there's something wrong with it's support for v4l2 [21:41] cocacoca: and yea, try the windows channel, like iceroot says [21:41] EuphoniC: yes, same here [21:41] k tnx [21:41] oh? [21:41] trism? how do you reinstall the webcam drivers in ubuntu? [21:41] EuphoniC: use alternate cd 9.04 it will work. it will ask to acticate the raid during installation [21:41] EuphoniC: otherwise grub will fail [21:41] anyone know why i would not use linux [21:42] my home key is not working [21:42] Vinceman: well, the webcam drivers are probably included with the kernel, so it won't really help [21:42] xev is not turning up anything [21:42] Vinceman: what webcam do you have? [21:42] Adobe flash for linux don't stream some flash sites :D [21:42] a DEXXA webcam [21:42] jaunty? dont really want GUI [21:42] slow computer [21:42] sergiu: if you have a need for some other specific OS [21:42] trism if you buy a webcam from the store nowadays do you get linux drivers included with them? [21:42] EuphoniC: maybe the server-cd is also activating the raid [21:42] EuphoniC: or just purge gnome-desktop [21:43] EuphoniC: or dont start x/gdm :) [21:43] guntbert, i used disk usage analyzer but it's not really helping me find offending files [21:43] how do i see what my current mouse polling interval is in ubuntu? [21:43] iceroot: but I dont quite understand how the raid could be the problem here? [21:43] Vinceman: unless it says it supports linux on the box, it is probably unlikely [21:44] roygbiv: hope that the new realise of adobe flash for lin will fix this.. [21:44] EuphoniC: because grub cant detect the raid-array if it is not activated with dmraid (what the alternate-cd is doing) [21:44] EuphoniC: maybe give it a try? if it is not working you can use usb-flash or buy a ide-drive [21:44] OK getting close. I set up OPen SSH and when I connect, I get the SSh-2.0-OpenSSH_5.1p1 Debian-5ubuntu1 but never get a login? [21:44] i'll give it a shot :) [21:45] Flats: sudo apt-get install openssh-server? [21:45] Flats sounded like you used telnet [21:45] EuphoniC: good luck [21:45] hi i want to burn a .iso file onto a cd anyone know a good program? [21:45] Vinceman: Might want to check out this https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras if you're thinking of getting a new one [21:45] nero [21:45] Welshy-Rob: k3b or brasero [21:45] mazda01: then you will have to change you point of view maybe (about where some files are ok and where they are not - and maybe they are not in your biggest tree - get creative :-) [21:45] is goos [21:45] Welshy-Rob: right click on it> choose writtw to disk [21:45] good === prince_j1mmys is now known as prince_jammys [21:45] any idea why home key may not be working? [21:45] for burning iso [21:45] you don't telnet to connect to the ssh port, you use ssh to connect to the ssh port [21:45] kk ta [21:45] No I used hyperterm and connected to port 22 [21:45] !keys | nsahoo [21:45] nsahoo: Keyboard shortcuts can be set in System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts. If your multimedia keys don't work with that, try the 'keytouch' package, explained at http://keytouch.sourceforge.net - See !Keyboard for changing layouts [21:45] I have just installed 9.04 fresh to this PC and can't get the duel head GFX card to work as it was before. I need help from an ATI expert [21:45] ahh maybe hyperterm is only telnet? [21:46] hmm, not familiar with hyperterm [21:46] Flats: you need and ssh client like putty [21:46] damn. sooo close. Thanks guys...and girls [21:47] Flats if you're on windows then use putty. it's very nice [21:47] trism thx for everything [21:47] Hello, I have Hardy on a system that was partitioned out automatically (use entire disk), and after many updates the /boot files were winding up past the 1,024th cylinder, making GRUB die with Error 17. I shifted / over with GParted, inserting a new 100Mb /boot partition at the front of the disk, and on reboot, all the UUID-references in fstab were invalid. I checked blkid, but while the UUIDs still showed there, they could no longer [21:47] Vinceman: np, hope you get it working [21:48] brantg: when you edit the parition table some filesystem change uuid [21:48] brantg: you need to update the grub conf file and /etc/fstab [21:49] erUSUL: I did assume that would be the case, but the reported numbers in blkid simply don't work - attempts to mount by UUID always claim the UUID doesn't exist,. [21:49] brantg: Are you in a livecd? [21:49] brantg: :| [21:49] kl_: No, this is a fully installed (and long-running) workstation. [21:50] brantg: did you try using device names instead of uuids? [21:50] hi, i need help with a 30gb disk with ex3 partition [21:50] erUSUL, i just did that and it told me there was a error writing to disk? [21:50] i used it right for 2 months [21:50] now the system check it as less (21gb) === christian is now known as Guest36675 [21:51] epl: Like I said, I did switch to using device names, and that does work - I'm satisfied to leave it that way, but I'd like to learn what I borked by doing what I did. Someday I might need to know :) [21:51] brantg: Since you just formatted the disk would it be easier to just reinstall everything again? [21:51] fsck.ext3 give me "bad superblock" [21:51] Welshy-Rob: i know this does not help but allways worked for me... try with brasero === kaikai is now known as Ulrika` [21:51] and testdisk don't find a backup of it [21:51] brantg: sorry, missed that [21:51] darkham, perhaps its going bad? [21:51] Anyone have Flash10 full-screen playing smooth on Ubuntu 9.04? [21:51] Welshy-Rob: aplications>sound and video> brasero [21:52] revygttam, it seems works right [21:52] erUkk thx [21:52] erUSUL, thanks kk [21:52] kl_: I didn't format it, I used gparted to move / over by 100Mb and add a new /boot partition. I'm working on the theory that that is what caused it all, frankly. [21:52] revygttam, i've "bad superblock" [21:52] darkham, yea thats kinda odd though, its just a guess but perhaps its failing on the back end of the drive. Maybe try backing up the drive, repartitoining and moveing the files back over. [21:53] What is avahi-daemon? Can I stop it? [21:53] rappr: how did you install adobe? Are you using the .deb from adobe's website, that works fine for me but the one in the repos sucks. [21:53] revygttam, i've http://pastebin.com/m81e4b6e [21:53] brantg: Ok you had only /. Then you split and made 100mb /boot? [21:53] revygttam, I'll give that a try. [21:53] I cant get my ati card to work properly, anyone have any ideas what I can try? I've installed the drivers using Administration>Hardware Drivers and they say they say active, but nothing works [21:53] haris: is an implementation of Zeroconf for linux (apple call it rendevouz) [21:53] revygttam: i must recover data... === dennis_ is now known as M3DLG [21:54] darkham, do you have problems viewing files on the drive? === m1dlg is now known as M1DLG [21:54] revygttam, yes, i cant mount it [21:54] rappr, theres .deb at adobe.com just use dpkg to install that [21:55] kl_: Yes, to corral my boot files and keep GRUB under the 1,024th cylinder. Please understand, the system is up and running now, I just don't understand why my UUIDs no longer work for mounting. [21:55] revygttam, will do, thanks [21:55] darkham, i would take the opportunity to at least backup the data, if it randomly happend, it might randomly happen again [21:55] darkham, i misread, you cant mount [21:56] ah thanks erUSUL . By the way if I am not running Gnome do I still need system-tools-backends service running? [21:56] darkham, are you able to view the partition in gparted? Sometimes you can get some more details from that [21:56] revygttam, not [21:57] maybe even use a live cd of partmagic 4.4 and check the smart monitor tool to see if its reporting an issue [21:57] haris: dunno [21:57] darkham, it really sounds like the drive might be corrupt [21:58] anyone have an example cupsd.conf to show how to share a network printer [21:58] is this a multi-partitioned hard drive? [21:58] erUSUL, all right man. And finally, why are all of cron, anacron, atd all running? Can't everything be grouped together? [21:58] darkham; is this a multi-partitoined hard drive [21:58] can somebody tell me what their alsamixer config is for their front/front mic/front mic boost/mic channels? [21:58] by default i mean [21:58] revygttam, not it's only an ext3 partition [21:58] hello [21:58] all the disc [21:59] haris: at and cron do two different things [21:59] brantg: I see. Well you can try to make new UUID === Neil_Sun is now known as neil_sun [21:59] hmm I see [22:00] All right makes sense [22:00] darkham: what error does it throw when you try to mount the drive? [22:00] kl_: I thought blkid was my only route - how do I assign a new one? [22:00] revygttam, bad superblock [22:00] darkham: oh i thought that was just from running fsck [22:00] can somebody tell me what their alsamixer config is for their front/front mic/front mic boost/mic channels by default --- please....? [22:01] brantg: ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid/ match blkid output ? [22:01] brantg: does not the blkid command show you which UUID you have? [22:01] noshelter: im not sure what mine are or where to get them but i think thats hardware specific so im not sure if thats gonna help you too much. [22:01] revygttam, oh, when i try to mount i've "mount: you must specify the filesystem type" [22:01] brantg: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingUUID should help you [22:02] how can i make my firefox/flashplugin use my usb headset for audio-out? it seems to be stuck to my pci-soundcard, and ignoring the settings i made in system->preferences->sounds [22:02] opera says, please enable java for an applet but even after turning java on and refreshing it doesn't work :( [22:02] revygttam: type alsamixer in a terminal and check for urself, its volume control [22:02] erSUL: NO! I never paid close enough attention to notice that! The / partition no longer matches what it was previously [22:03] brantg: :) [22:03] revygttam: it should not be hardware specific*(at least i dont think so) [22:03] kl_: Please see my comment to erUSUL [22:03] Is there a tutorial on rebuilding the Kernal the Ubuntu way? (As in creating a .deb etc etc) .. most help websites for debian / ubuntu kernel compilation are really really old. There are quite a few modules I don't want (bluetooth) and I just want a leaner kernel [22:03] hi [22:03] !kernel | haris [22:03] haris: The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - See also: /msg ubottu stages [22:04] is there any way that I can get shortcuts such as alt+f2 to work without running gnome-panel? I am running awn without any gnome-panel [22:04] got it, using totem to playback the file from /tmp, totem respects my system settings... [22:04] my volume keys don't work with xfce (Fn+UP/DOWN) [22:04] noshelter, Front Mi is muted, Second Front Mi is 0, Mic Boost is 0 [22:05] hi, I have the xscreensaver manpage on an 8.10 system but not on my main 9.04 sys.... any idea why ? [22:05] it's installed on both [22:05] darkham: have you tried a mount -t ext3 /dev/locatin /mount/directory [22:05] ? [22:05] How do I fix a routing problem in wifi? I can connect to wireless networks but can't "go anywhere" while connected and it appears to be a routing issue. [22:05] revygttam: thank you very much, have u ever used skype or something like that to make a call? for some reason this morning the front mic channel was not mutted and it echoed the hell out of my speakers... now after i muted it i solved it, but not sure if i can still use skype and the mic in general [22:06] noshleter, no i havent ;( [22:06] erUSUL, k;_: To clarify, in case anyone else is interested - blkid still reports the original values, but the entries beneath /dev/disk/by-uuid differ from the values that used to be there prior to my repartitioning. From what I can tell, the /dev/disk/by-uuid values are the correct ones. Thank you for the help! [22:06] brantg: no problem [22:06] lol sweet erUSUL . But not surprisingly that page is a confusing mess .. ah well this should be a fun Fall break project. [22:07] revygttam, not, i try [22:08] can you install windows on a new partition even though grub has already been installed? [22:08] How do I download a package that has already been installed? I want to install wicd, but that will remove network-manager and thereby disconnect me from internet. I want to have the network-manager deb so I can reinstall if something goes wrong [22:08] Lenin_Cat: yes; but you have to restore grub after that [22:08] !grub | Lenin_Cat [22:08] Lenin_Cat: 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 [22:08] Can anyone help me with this problem? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1272405 [22:08] http://artiomix.googlepages.com/ubuntu.png [22:09] can someone point me to a channel that can help me resolve a hardware issue? tia [22:09] can anyone running ubutntu 9.04 just type "man xscreensaver" (if they have the program installed)... and tell me if the manpage comes up ? [22:09] xlberz5: ##hardware ? [22:09] brantg: Long scroll up :) [22:09] Hi, I am new to Linux, anyone use server on his or her computer, I need to write so PHP, MySQL stuffs?

Thanks anyway. [22:10] darkham,im not really sure what else you can do. If it were me id end up giving up on it at this point. Its probably a corrupt partition and needs to be blown away. You could check the logs but, a bad superblock is normally not a good error to come across [22:10] brantg: I suggest then you clear the UUID with tune2fs -U clear /dev [22:11] want me to spoonfeed too? [22:11] brantg: Then create a new one with the same command but with random or time input. Read more at man tune2fs [22:12] question: how do i set permission access on network devices? i was looking for the /dev/eth0... but obviously it's not there now... [22:12] rlee: ifaces do not have device files [22:12] erUSUL: thanks... i found that out... but how do I set permissions on them then? [22:12] kl_: Got it, thanks, I'll do that [22:13] rlee: you can not. only root can change its properties though [22:13] I think i used a tool to upgrade kernel earlier. Anybody know? I think it was gui [22:13] erUSUL: ok... so anyone can bind to the interface? but i can change its various interface properties via root [22:14] rlee, what do you mean "bind to the interface"? [22:14] rlee: bind ? [22:14] erUSUL: yea, open a socket on it [22:14] rlee: yes (unless it is raw) [22:14] rlee, any user can create a socket on the ephemeral (>1024) ports -- for the lower ones, only root can. [22:15] erUSUL: ok... thanks [22:15] rlee: and the port limit unop says [22:15] rlee, but then again, sockets don't really have much to do with the interfaces [22:15] unop: thanks, i figured that out too [22:15] unop: i was thinking simplist... like just setting chmod 600 on the device... but it seems that is not possible [22:15] does anyone know if the keyserver is broken at 'keyserver.ubuntu.com' [22:16] I keep getting time out server erros [22:16] rlee, well, that doesn't make sense - most users on a networked computer require some sort of network connectivity [22:16] trying to send-keys for launchpad [22:16] unop: right, but not if there are two interfaces... they just need access to one [22:17] unop: i want to block out the other from being accessed [22:17] rlee, maybe, i dunno - depends on your setup [22:17] yo ubuntu where's my xscreensaver manpage [22:17] Hello can anyone help me with an error when I dual boot XP/Linux?

[22:20] unop: that's the point.... if i have two seperate rule chains for local users, and one for the subnet, the local user can just bind a socket to the subnet interface and bypass the rules for the local interface [22:21] rlee, not if you have a rule that prevents traffic from accessing opened sockets tho .. [22:21] Is there a command for the terminal to find out the internet speed? [22:21] unop: what do u mean? [22:21] @spurs use 'netstat -i -c' [22:22] If I have a file, made by ls -R, of everything under one folder, and I have another folder, with all that stuff in, and some extra, and I want to remove the extra. how would I do that. i.e. remove everything that isn't in the file made by ls -R [22:22] rlee, let's say you have a rule that drops all packets to the local address unless an outgoing connection is already established - a user may setup a socket, but it will be unusable. [22:22] realbadapple: thanks [22:22] jophish_: use grsync to sync the two folders [22:23] @spurs use 'Ctrl-c' when finished [22:23] jophish, this is a question for #bash - they have a FAQ for this. [22:23] jophish_: check the "delete on destination" [22:23] unop: ahh ok i didn't connect that piece when i was setting up my tables... i'll try it out real quick brb [22:23] I used rsync to generate the flder in the first place, and It made two copies of everything with an accented letter [22:23] o.0! [22:23] thanks anyway erUSUL and unop [22:24] !uuid > kl [22:25] !private kl [22:25] Sorry, I don't know anything about private kl [22:25] I need some help with ext2resize version 1.1.17.... I've never built anything before and I'm guessing it isn't as simple as 'sudo make' [22:25] FuRom: only make install needs sudo [22:26] kl_: you need to spell your name correctly to get the PMs [22:26] Pici: don't get any pms [22:27] i still have a ubuntu nvidia problem trying to get sli to work [22:27] erUSUL, making it gives me an error regardless though. It says "make: *** [config.status] Error 2" and I'm unsure what I should do in the process of fixing the issue. [22:27] 1 card i can go 2 cards no x [22:27] how do i find global array overrun or incorrect indexing ? i tried valgrind it doesn't work. something like int arr[10] ; int main(){ arr[10]=3; return 0; } passes [22:27] Should Ubuntu be able to automatically choose the right settings for my monitor? How can I check/change/set the right options? [22:28] FuRom: [22:28] !uuid > kl_ [22:28] kl_, please see my private message [22:28] when is 10.4 out [22:28] OldSmoke: do both cards show up in /etc/X11/xorg.conf?

[22:28] FuRom: Sometimes you need to configure your system first by running ./configure [22:28] any one there [22:29] i think so i took 1 out so i could get to a desktop [22:29] kl_, thanks a million. Problem solved.... [22:29] FuRom: sudo apt-get build-dep e2fsprogs [22:29] unop: thanks, that cleared up that part [22:29] ultimate 2.3 is wicked [22:29] wahoo [22:29] !ultimate [22:29] The following are some examples of Ubuntu derived distributions that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes; please consult their websites for more information: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mintsupport), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), Ultimate Edition [22:30] Pici: Got the pm now. :) [22:30] any one seen it yet is it good [22:30] unop: the socket is bound to the iface address, but no connects are accepted because of the table rule [22:30] yes [22:30] rlee, yea, that's the idea exactly [22:31] ill update reboot and take a look at the config [22:31] now to go mess up my routing tables [22:31] markarnold: 10.04 exists in name only. [22:31] new kernel updatee anyways [22:32] greets! ran mencoder on a wmv-file because when i watch it with MS's stuff (xp, mediaplayer)i can't seem to move to arbitrary positions in the film as i would like (its david deutsch on quantum computers..)

I have linux (kubuntu) on my machine that is connected to a LAN network (lots of computers)... And we are all sharing connection. Now, if i start XAMPP (Apache server), will that in any way inpact anything on the network? Will my computer interfere with any server on the network? Someone told me i could block people from using internet, because their computer will try to obtain IP from my server instead the real one... Any info on this? [22:33] do these forums do any good [22:34] how can I change to a channel ? [22:34] help [22:34] !ot | markarnold [22:34] markarnold: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [22:34] hi [22:34] !apparmor [22:34] For information about the AppArmor security framework employed in Ubuntu (since Gutsy Gibbon), see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AppArmor [22:35] how do I install my ATI GFX card drivers correctly? I can't seem to get duel head to work or give any option to edit the settings [22:35] any one put ubuntu on ps 3 [22:35] !10.10 > kl_ [22:35] Sorry, I don't know anything about 10.10 [22:35] master: irc channel? [22:35] lovre: No, running just an Apache server will not interfere with anything, your friend was probably thinking of a DHCP server [22:36] yes ctmjr [22:36] anyone had any success with getting cups-pdf to print to email? [22:36] master: /join #channel name [22:36] need info about DRBD [22:37] hi. [22:37] lovre: apache by it self can't (it just listens port 80), but XAMPP isn't just apache right? [22:37] hi! [22:37] any quakelive people in here? [22:37] Jordan_U: yes, i know about DHCP server, but i was thinking since im not running pure Apache, but XAMPP, maybe it had something like that included also, i dont know [22:37] thanks ctmjr [22:38] OldSmoke, i play it a bit - i'm not very good though [22:38] fbianconi: thats right, thats why im asking, since i know xampp is not only apache, im not sure what else it has, and can it interfere with LAN computers or server [22:38] me either but it is fun [22:38] !ati [22:38] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [22:38] master: your welcome [22:38] i'm new to ubuntu. i've installed languages that i need but i cant switch them. with ctrl+alt don't work [22:38] that was a good guess :) [22:39] dont know why ubuntu is the only 1 i have video probs with [22:39] need some help, im trying to install OpenBravo software, is a Point of sale software for Linux, installation comes up, but it tells me that i need privalegs of super user or root, how can i login as the administrator in the terminal with the sudo command? [22:39] I can't get my video to work either [22:39] but after playing with ultimate 2.3 ill have to figure it out lol [22:39] angelo: sudo -i [22:39] thanks [22:39] !rootshell | angelo [22:39] angelo: Using !sudo with single commands is preferable in most circumstances. However, if you really need a root shell, use « sudo -i » (other variants of this commands are redundant and/or potentially dangerous) [22:39] let me check it out [22:40] Can someone help me get CUPS running on 9.04. Yesterday it worked, today it wont let me print. Anyone? [22:40] lovre: AFIK XAMPP is just Apache + MySQL + Perl + Python ( which is pretty easy to setup with Ubuntu without XAMPP ) so still nothing that would interfere with your network [22:41] Jordan_U: ok, thanks. And another question, can i configure http server (Apache) to work only locally, so it doesnt listen to port 80 or any port. At the moment anyone on the LAN can see my localhost page by entering my local IP [22:41] Hi, I downloaded an update via the update manager a few hours ago, then hopped over to win to game.. log back into ubuntu to get some work done and conky isnt working right.. is there a way to check my most recent updates? [22:42] yee [22:42] works [22:43] Any takers? [22:43] lovre: Yes, but not the warning on the XAMPP website: "The default configuration is not good from a securtiy point of view and it's not secure enough for a production environment - please don't use XAMPP in such environment." [22:43] -bash: cd: ./home: No such file or directory [22:43] root@angelo-desktop:~# cd angelo [22:44] -bash: cd: angelo: No such file or directory [22:44] root@angelo-desktop:~# cd ./angelo [22:44] -bash: cd: ./angelo: No such file or directory [22:44] angelo: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[22:45] im back [22:45] it make root to every thing but i cant see deskop [22:45] hey guys any one have problems whit samba user permissions ? [22:46] can't change directory [22:46] Hi, I downloaded an update via the update manager a few hours ago, then hopped over to win to game.. log back into ubuntu to get some work done and conky isnt working right.. is there a way to check what packages were recently updated? [22:46] neos [22:46] angelo: You don't need a root shell, just run whatever setup script sith "sudo /path/to/script.sh". You can exit the root shell you are currently in by typing "exit" [22:46] is there any gui for samba4 ? [22:46] ahhhh ok [22:46] how i can be root in desktop too [22:46] it's CD ../home whatever directory is [22:47] Hi! I want to look at the listing of available source code packages for any Ubuntu distribution releases and download (using wget) arbitrary selected source packages from the repository. How can I figure out the URL to the actual packages given the content of sources.list? [22:47] Someone to help me get Ubuntu to see my printer? CUPS seems to not be working though Synaptic says it is installed. Thoughts? [22:47] physic: activar destop login for root user [22:47] *avtivate [22:47] what? [22:47] how? [22:47] one second [22:47] adhok_: /var/log/dpkg.log [22:48] Hey guys! I'm trying to compile the latest version of pgadmin3 (v1.10.0) in Ubuntu Jaunty (the version 1.8.4) has some problems with postgresq-server8.4. The thing is I want pgadmin3 to be configured (compiled and installed) just like the version form Jaunty's repos. Is there a way to find out which flags options were used to compile the version in the repos? (like where to store the bainary files, the lib files, where to store logs, where to store configura [22:48] tion files) [22:48] Thanks a ton Jordan_U [22:48] in administration user and grups [22:48] Who has made Ubuntu look like OS X [22:48] adhok_: np [22:48] !apturl [22:48] Sorry, I don't know anything about apturl [22:48] !info apturl [22:48] apturl (source: apturl): install packages using the apt protocol. In component main, is optional. Version 0.3.3ubuntu1.1 (jaunty), package size 17 kB, installed size 228 kB [22:48] dcosta, [22:49] NoReflex: You might want to just backport the package from Karmic or Debain unstable/testing ( note I do NOT mean use the binary package ) [22:49] * dragon drops a pin. [22:49] physic: http://linux.about.com/od/ubuntu_doc/a/ubudg24t4.htm [22:49] This information about the configure options used when compiling software in the repos would be very helpful on any other programs as well. Kind of like some general information. [22:49] !backport | NoReflex [22:49] NoReflex: If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they may go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging [22:50] root desktop in a security problem [22:50] NoReflex: Sorry, wrong factoid [22:50] but your box P [22:50] *is [22:50] dcosta,i dont know what u talking about [22:51] you want login as root in desktop ? [22:51] What would you say is the best tutorial to make Ubuntu look like OS X [22:51] yes ? [22:51] lol wow 4 pckg upgrades dumps quite a bit into the log file :) [22:51] yeah [22:51] Scarra3: There are some themes at gnome-looks.org [22:51] kl_-There are themes but they dont work that well. [22:52] Jordan_U, in Jaunty's backports there are no updated packages for pgadmin or postgresql for that matter and I've been told not to mix repos between releases [22:52] Scarra3, I use a combination of avant window manager and gdesklets for mine [22:52] Hi Guys, I'm trying to copy a backup.tar.bz2 to an external usb drive. The file is 8Gb. The transfer gets to 4 Gb and then stops. any ideas? [22:52] dyek: you can use synaptic for generating a script for downloading the selected packages [22:53] sixnonep: is a fat32 disk ? === thiras_ is now known as thiras [22:53] sixnonep, you probably have a filesystem that doesn't support file bigger than 4 GB on the flash drive (fat maybe)? [22:53] NoReflex: Sorry, that was the wrong factoid, there used to be a factoid about how to recompile source packages from Ubuntu+1 or debian so that they could be used in an older ( stable ) release [22:53] Ah yes. [22:53] Did'nt check that... [22:54] i just installed a 2nd video card, how would i check how much video ram it has from ubuntu? [22:54] sixnonep: then you have to split the file in less than 4 GiB parts [22:54] Scarra3: Well most of Mac themes are there. If you want dock you need to install it separate. [22:54] Anyone hep me get 9.04 working with my printer? Please? [22:54] !lshw | compgenius999 [22:54] Sorry, I don't know anything about lshw [22:54] erUSUL: is there a run through on this?

[22:56] !rpm | Fishscene [22:56] Fishscene: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM.

[22:57] compgenius999: just type free in a terminal [22:57] jer_: is it a LAN printer or a USB? Did you add it to the list of printers? === d is now known as Guest87640 [22:58] prrrrrr [22:58] ctmjr i'm talking about graphics ram [22:58] not installed ram which i already know [22:58] compgenius999: It depends on what you're comparing with. Graphics cards have their own outputs, so they don't affect each other. [22:59] hey dragon they are both old graphics cards [22:59] dragon, USB. I cant seem to add it to the list of printers. I have no icon or option. Just says not connected. [22:59] and i need to find out how much ram they each have [22:59] dragon, when I try to connect to local host, I get, "There was an error during the CUPS operation: 'httpConnectionEncrypt failed'."

It wont allow me to add a printer. Just says, "not connected". [23:00] i know my first graphics card only has 64mb graphics ram [23:00] the new one i have no idea about [23:01] my first only had 0.5mb ram [23:01] jer_: Is the printer connected? [23:01] jer_: and switched on? [23:01] dragon, yes, connected. [23:02] jer_: disconnect the printer's usb connection and then run `dmesg | tail -20` [23:03] jer_: then connect the printer, and run that command again. pastebin the output [23:03] jer_: an easier way to pastebin the output at the end would be `dmesg | pastebinit` [23:04] hi there! e.g. in deluge there is an option to open containing folder. so how do i set what file manager it would use? :-/ [23:04] dragon, this is what i got after following your instructions..."[272839.403671]: command not found" [23:04] gotta go [23:05] dragon, sorry, how do I pastebin? [23:06] jer_: do you have pastebinit installed? [23:06] compgenius999: run lspci then find the video card make a note of the numbers in front of it the run sudo lspci -v -s 01:00.0 < change this number to the one you found [23:06] jer_ at the top of the page in the MOTD is a link to pastebin :) [23:06] dragon, I guess not :-( [23:07] I have a problem with my wireless networking program, does anyone think they could help me? [23:07] !anyone | Trulypoison [23:07] Trulypoison: 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? [23:07] of course [23:08] Lets say I found in Packages.gz that udev package Filename is pool/main/u/udev/udev_141-1_i386.deb. What is the exact URL to this package so that I can use wget to fetch it? [23:08] I just installed ubunto onto a gateway mx6455, and the ethernet connection works, however even though the wireless componant is turned on (from the XP partition) and from the ubunto system, it will not find any wireless networks that i know exists [23:09] Trulypoison: Have you checked if you need drivers with System > Administration > Hardware Drivers? [23:09] dragon, ok here it is http://paste.ubuntu.com/276108/ [23:09] 00:09.0 [23:09] let me recheck that === BeardedAdmin is now known as BeardedAdmin_Awa === BeardedAdmin_Awa is now known as BeardedAdmin === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang [23:10] ohhh i get it [23:10] it says no proprietary drivers are in use by this system [23:10] ctmjr, it worked, it says 64mb graphics ram [23:10] Trulypoison: Ok, do you know the chipset of your wireless card? [23:11] unfortunately no i do not, is there a way to find that without having to go to my xp partition? [23:11] Is there a shortcut to swap between current window and last focused window? [23:12] Trulypoison: lshw -c network ( don't paste the output here ) [23:12] kk [23:12] hey does anybody know if this 2nd graphics card will make my ubuntu any faster? [23:12] compgenius999: was there ever any doubt ;) [23:13] lol [23:13] i have a hercules 3d 4000xt with 64mb video ram, and now i have an S3 ViRGE Fastware in it aswell [23:14] how would i be able to share read write files on a ubuntu system, to my home lan? the files are on xubuntu but i need to be able to read and write from ubuntu on another system as well. a command line way would be the best solution if possible [23:14] dragon, any thoughts? [23:15] interesting [23:15] appearently the wireless tool was never enabled from the application settings [23:16] but thats something else entirely [23:16] I cannot get firefox to use adobe flash player [23:17] hey, I am helping a friend setup ubuntu. we have installed all the necessary gstreamer codecs for rhythmbox and he still can't play .wma files is there something else that needs to be installed [23:17] ? [23:17] tge farm game will not open in firefox [23:17] eldon_, did you install flashplugin-installer ? [23:17] yes [23:17] is there a way to increase the amount of space a partition can have after creating it? [23:18] it seems i didn't give it more than it absolutely needed [23:18] did you also install flashplugin-nonfree? [23:18] Trulypoison: Yes, you can use a tool called gparted [23:18] dragon, it keeps telling me "There was an error during the CUPS operation: 'httpConnectionEncrypt failed'." when i try to connect localhost. [23:18] gparted is an easy tool [23:18] eldon_, see above [23:18] does it come with the system disk? [23:19] I downloaded and installed adobe [23:19] beto are the wma file DMR restricted? [23:19] eldon_, if you do have flashplugin-nonfree then there is a conflict and you need to remove one of them [23:19] er...DRM [23:20] Trulypoison, are you trying to dual boot?

I can help you there i think [23:20] my volume levels seem to be messed up, its like i only get volume when the slider is half way and up anything below half way i get no sound, like there is no low sound levels [23:20] thank god [23:21] via what command can i send mail from ubuntu? i tried "mail" but there is no such command [23:21] t0s, open up all the volume sliders.

[23:28] mrwes: I did that already [23:28] I am trying to disable ipv6 and lsmod doesn't list /anything/ concerning IPV6. Can anyone help me determine if IPV6 is enabled? [23:28] I am running Jaunty [23:29] no [23:29] no x with both in [23:29] Can I use Gnome / Ubuntu but replace metacity as Gnome's window manager? [23:30] I just reinstalled ubuntu on my system because my old filesystem got messed up, however on my new installiation I think my packages are corrupt, I try to repair them, but it seems the package contining the rt73usb module is also corrupted... which I need for my wifi card [23:30] beto, did you check to see if you have cross fading enabled in Rhythmbox? [23:30] mrwes: ok now rhythmbox is saying it needs the application/smil decoder [23:30] mrwes: Crossfade is enabled [23:30] i put it in then installed the drivers checked the config it is only seeing 1 card [23:30] beto, there is a bug with cross fading AND wma files -- turn it off and see if they play [23:31] mrwes: I did that too [23:32] dragon? [23:32] Hey everyone, it's been a long time since I've been here to ask for help, but this one is really frustrating. I'm running Kubuntu 9.04 and it seems that I've lost access to most of my MP3 files. By lost access, I mean ls -l gives me a bunch of question marks for owner, group and permissions, and I can't open the folders with dolphin without getting an "access denied". This happens even as root, and even in GNOME. Any ideas? [23:32] beto, did you import the files/folder from another drive? [23:33] OldSmoke: you can try this and see if it works sudo nvidia-xconfig --sli=ON and reboot with bith cards in [23:33] mrwes: no fromt the music folder in his home directory [23:33] beto, hrmm...I'm stumped then [23:33] ^both [23:34] k will try ty [23:34] beto, maybe install VLC and see if they play? [23:34] Clay: Did you try resetting the permissions on those files? [23:34] Fishscene, I did. It gives me a bunch of "access denied" messages. [23:35] rofl. [23:35] Did you reset the owner of the files? [23:35] Fishscene, access denied [23:35] Fishscene, ridiculous right? === r_ is now known as mrblahblahnonick === mrblahblahnonick is now known as remo234 [23:36] clayadavis: Pretty much. Sounds like the kind of crap that DRM does. [23:36] Fishscene, but these are mp3s i ripped myself === kuba_ is now known as Guest63040 [23:36] siema [23:36] jak zdrowko [23:36] Which worked until a couple days ago. [23:37] Yea. I'm just saying it sounds like it. Unfortunately, beyond trying to reset the permissions/owner, I have no idea. Sorry =( [23:37] :P [23:37] Hello, I am new to Ubuntu. I just did an apt-get install on php, I was wondering where it gets installed to? [23:38] The strange part is that the directory structure is still there somehow: for example, I don't have access to the folder intronaut, but ls -l intronaut gives me "ls: cannot access intronuaut/intronaut - [2006] - null: Permission denied [23:38] ls: cannot access intronuaut/intronaut - [2006] - void: Permission denied [23:38] total 0 [23:38] d????????? ? ? ? ? ? intronaut - [2006] - null [23:38] d????????? ? ? ? ? ? intronaut - [2006] - void [23:38] clayadavis: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:38] null and void are the two album names. [23:38] mrwes: for some reason even vlc won't play them [23:39] Anyone? Can I get rid of metacity and use something else instead? [23:39] beto, Sorry, I'm stumped then [23:39] alexnet: I'm unsure where it will be on your particular system, but try 'whereis php' [23:39] Btw, did floodbot keep everyone from seeing that ls -l output I just pasted? [23:40] Running 9.04, with an ATI (x1300 I think) I'm unable to select the native resolution of the monitor (1680x1050).

[23:43] odiamar: on the console, or gnome? [23:44] on the gnome [23:44] odiamar, on the 'Places' menu there should be a 'Search for Files..' option [23:45] Any command line junkies here?

[23:56] sharma: Try starting firefox in safe mode by running "firefox --safe-mode" [23:56] dayglo98: What packages? [23:56] batrick, when I go to the printing secotion of Administration, it just says, not connected. [23:56] so that means i always have to start it in safe mode? [23:56] ]because it happens 50 times today and i dont like where this is going [23:57] the 166 packages that showed up after my first round of updating (right after installing xubuntu 9.04) [23:57] sharma: No, it means that if safe mode works the problem is likely a plugin [23:57] rabidmachine9, /join #css [23:57] jer_: http://hplipopensource.com/ [23:57] hello, i bought a 750 barracuda, tried to install ms but it failed at making partitions, made partitions and formatted them with mkfs.ntfs, and windows still fails to reconize it can install(XP), vista just gives disc error right away when running installer, tried 3 dif win discs [23:57] but i have not even isntalled a signle plug in [23:57] follow the installation instructions.
