[00:00] does unnecessary words constitute trolling? Sometimes people just lack the time to make things short [00:00] salmiak: :1 i can not help further sorry [00:00] trakcyia: it depends on the situation. [00:00] hi, have you any ideas why empathy will replace pidgin (as default messenger) in 9.10? [00:00] trakcyia: i bet the wikipedia entry on trolling is pretty informative ;) [00:01] yva : Please join #ubuntu+1 for Karmic/9.10 support/discussion. [00:01] nanotube, i admit it, i'm trolling about the trolling topic, ill get back to work [00:01] What is the SIMPLEST way to format a drive? I want to wipe 100% of the usable drive. I don't need it to be super secure, I just want to wipe and start over. [00:01] erUSUL, salmiak: I saw someone with that error a couple of days ago. Turns out there are some packages that give ffmpeg more functionality (whose names I do not recall) [00:01] !offtopic [00:01] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [00:01] erUSUL: yeah np thax anyway [00:01] yva: yes, because of the 'not invented here' syndrome. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Not_Invented_Here [00:01] I want to load up ubuntu with xfce... if that matters [00:01] jrib: now that you mention it salmiak medibuntu's ffmpeg is more capable. you know all that patents stuff. [00:02] !medibuntu [00:02] medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [00:02] what's the command to launch the default browser in gnome? [00:02] erUSUL: ok, according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3GP, 3GP file format stores video streams as MPEG-4 Part 2 or H.263 or MPEG-4 Part 10 (AVC/H.264), so I'm wondering if avidemux will convert it... [00:02] erUSUL: it was some lib, but that's also a good suggestion to try first [00:02] Anyone use dban? I need to wipe my drive so I can install ubuntu [00:02] dragon: gnome-open URL works [00:02] i am sorry, that wasnt meant as an offense, just a joke, didnt know people would get so angry, wont do it again [00:02] Blankman: just use gparted, and reformat the partition.... [00:03] Blankman: or if you're into cli, fdisk and mkfs :) [00:03] jrib: thanks. What if I don't have a URL and only want to launch the browser, with possibly the default home page? [00:03] erUSUL, salmiak: I think it was libavutil-unstripped-49 [00:03] do i go to my router to change the port or to kopete to change the port cuz i cant find where to change the port in kopete? [00:03] nanotube, I am new to linux, but have enjoyed ubuntu, but I am still a newbie. I am having an issue with gparted. [00:04] dragon: does www-browser do what you want?

[00:05] salmiak: there are some other "unstripped" packages like libavcodec-unstripped-52 that you might try [00:05] it says it can't mount a drive? not sure what that is about. [00:06] When I try to apply the change it gives me an error and sys it count mount a drive. [00:06] jdn929: you have to be patient, not all channels are as active as this one. That channel is more likely to be able to help with your question though (you're still free to wait here too) [00:06] Flannel: that's what I was looking for, thanks. [00:06] Blankman: When your on the Live CD? [00:06] jrib: salmiak in medibuntu there is only mencoder; sorry for the noise [00:06] yes [00:07] hey guys, does anyone know how to solve the problem of ubuntu hanging on NIS? Once I log in, everything is fine but it causes problems during start-up. I've found evidence of this problem online but no solutions. Any ideas? [00:07] jrib: www-browser seemed to launch w3m; x-www-browser worked. [00:07] Blankman: Ok so there are currently partitions on it? [00:07] yes [00:07] argh === hey` is now known as grumete [00:07] Blankman: Windows partitions or? [00:07] yes I have partition on it. [00:08] one is a windows, one is a linux swap and one is an linux partition. [00:08] Blankman: and you want to get rid of all of these partitions? [00:08] hi, I want my Gdesklet to be always on top, how to I do this? I'm using Xubuntu [00:09] yes, i want to wipe 100% of the drive. I don't need to over write the drive 5 times or anything, I just want to start fresh. with 100% of the drive. [00:10] sebsebseb: yes, i want to wipe 100% of the drive. I don't need to over write the drive 5 times or anything, I just want to start fresh. with 100% of the drive. [00:10] Blankman: maybe booting up the Live CD again will help [00:10] Blankman: also there's a Gparted Live CD [00:10] !gparted | Blankman [00:10] Blankman: gparted is a !GTK/!Gnome !GUI partitioning program.

[00:11] thanks sebsebseb [00:11] Blankman: np [00:11] timbojimbo: use a lightweight window manager! [00:11] hello folks, is there a tutorial to install exim and configure it for use with evolution on ubuntu to send mail without using an external server? i will be here waiting on the eventuality of an answer, thank you [00:12] jrib: do you have a url you can point me in the direction? or what window manager would you suggest? [00:13] how do i tell denyhosts to use my gmail account to send me reports? [00:13] i wasted the intire evening on this [00:13] didnt achieve anything [00:13] timbojimbo: try dsl [00:13] i would appreciate some help [00:13] pretty frustrated [00:13] didymous: if you google "exim evolution" you'll probably come up with whatever is out there... [00:13] nanotube: will try [00:13] Blankman: good luck [00:14] alokito: I actually have dsl on a usb stick that I use at school and work... [00:14] timbojimbo: well you should check out tiling window managers like xmonad, awesome, and dwm. But if you don't like tiling, there are other lightweight window managers (fluxbox, openbox, etc...). Really, if you want fast, then use light software (lots of terminal stuff, etc.) [00:14] mysql replicqtion, no problem, ssh reverse port forwarding, no problem... setting up denyhosts to mail trough gmail: HUUUUUGE problem [00:14] Any opinion on how big I should make my linux swap file? [00:14] Blankman: How much RAM do you have? [00:14] timbojimbo: i think its the fastest linux distro [00:14] 2gig [00:15] Blankman: 4GB SWAP I think then [00:15] 1.5xamount of RAM is mostly chosen [00:15] !swap | Blankman [00:15] Blankman: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info [00:15] 1.5x amount of RAM [00:15] Blankman: I'll throw in a third suggestion... = amount of RAM [00:15] Blankman, I have 2 gig ram, and 2 gig swap file and my laptop runs great [00:15] yeah [00:15] if you only have 2GB i would take 2GB too [00:15] for swap [00:15] timbojimbo: you can use xubuntu in old computers [00:15] 1GB is nothing these days anyway [00:16] semi-old [00:16] Blankman: some say SWAP is only really needed for hibernation these days, as long as got like 1GB or more RAM, others say still needed even with 4GB RAM, basicalley [00:16] i use in mine, runs fast enough to run multiple apps at the same time [00:17] alokito: I heard arch linux is good too. but I'm not looking to switch distro's. although I might in the next couple of months... [00:17] timbojimbo: Arch Linux is not that easy to set up properly [00:17] is it better to run wine or a xp virtualbox [00:17] EricTheHax: depends what Windows programs you want to run, and those are? [00:17] games [00:17] timbojimbo: have u tried xubuntu yet? I think you'll be satisfied with it [00:17] gmod hl2 etc [00:18] EricTheHax: 3D Games ??? [00:18] hl2 works decent under wine [00:18] ok [00:18] not great though.. [00:18] pfff [00:18] does nobody use denyhosts or something? [00:18] fair enough... [00:18] ok hl2: wine vs vbox [00:18] stsm: /etc/hosts.deny ? [00:18] hello [00:19] hello rawrs [00:19] EricTheHax: try crossover and playonlinux [00:19] EricTheHax: Virtualbox 3.0+ has some Directx8 support or whatever, and so might be good for some 3D games, depending on hardware or whatever, you can get proper info about this by asking in #vbox [00:19] EricTheHax: above I meant Direct3D [00:19] installing games with wine is pretty hard [00:19] alokito: not really, just follow appdb [00:19] Biovore, http://denyhosts.sourceforge.net/ [00:19] crossover makes steam invisible for me [00:20] i dunno if anyone else has better luck but i got teh suxxors outta crossover [00:20] alokito: I have and I actually installed it on an older computer than mine. my computer runs fast already I just want to boost it a little more. I'm mostly trying to make it faster at opening applications like Amarok, Open Office, Mail, Etc... [00:20] crossover and cedega are craps [00:20] it cant do SSL so it needs a MTA etc [00:20] I am trying to make a graph in open office and I am completely stuck. can someone please help me and walk me through it? [00:20] is there a way to apply a custom ip and dns automatically when connecting to a wifi network? [00:20] playonlinux is just a gui frontend of wine [00:20] wine or nothing !!! [00:20] and then the MTA is also impossible to get to work of course [00:20] my port 25 is not even open [00:20] its just all a gigantic mess [00:20] timbojimbo: amarok and openoffice both use lot of memory [00:21] playonlinux may cause incompatibilities ... [00:21] use lightweight apps instead, like banshee and abiword [00:21] EricTheHax: Wine and Crossover and Cedega even, will all need to be configured to get some Windows games working rather well. By the way there are some pretty good native Linux games as well, you just got to know where to get them from and that. [00:21] they should really simpligy kmailing from the CLI a WHOLE LOT [00:21] wine: it's got antioxidants to keep ur computer runnin windows apps smoothly [00:21] simplify [00:21] Hello, I need help with my wireless connection.I installed ubuntu 9.04 and Im unable to connect neither using the netwrok manager nor using iwconfig. [00:21] sebsebseb: my friend only plays gmod [00:21] rawrs: Yes, System > Preferences > Networking, just set up a profile for that network with static ip and dns [00:22] attickid: ok wireless is not my area, but this bot link might be helpful for you [00:22] !wireless | attickid [00:22] attickid: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [00:22] is that the only way/ [00:22] sebsebsebsebsebsebsebsebsebseb [00:22] ok Thank you [00:22] alokito: I don't really like banshee but I will check out abiword [00:22] attickid, does iwconfig show your interface though? [00:22] rawrs: try using wicd instead of network-manager. it supports static ip/dns (http://wicd.net) [00:23] timbojimbo: what about rhythmbox? its my 2nd favorite after amarok [00:23] rawrs: No, but it's the only way to do it with network-manager, what's wrong with "that way" ? [00:23] EricTheHax: yes? [00:23] EricTheHax: that's some stutter you've got there... [00:23] screw it is there an up-to-date steam friends plugin for pidgin? [00:23] EricTheHax: don't think so [00:23] dammit [00:24] stsm: yes, I even did: "sudo iwlist wlan0 scan" and I got the ESSID and other data about the wlan I want to connect to [00:24] what would the application name be for a port on a router for kopete be: telnet, http, https, ftp, dns, smtp, pop3, h.323, remote desktop, pptp, l2tp, or wake-on-lan? [00:24] does it matter that the drive of ubuntu isn't physically the first hard drive? [00:24] EricTheHax: might be though, I don't use steam by the way, so not entirely sure what you mean by a steam friends plugin, I assume for a contact list [00:24] it is sdc but I want it to have sda [00:24] MsG: It shouldn't matter [00:24] attickid, i must go but it might be usefull to paste the command (CENSOR YOUR KEY though) [00:25] MsG: no it doesn't matter if you configured your bootloader correctly [00:25] to use steam chat through pidgin. there used to be one but valve didnt like that so they changed their shit [00:25] I am trying to make a graph in open office and I am completely stuck. can someone please help me and walk me through it? [00:25] if I want it really to be sda without a device map I should change my sata cable order? [00:25] Dose ubuntu offer a version that runs out of ram and does not mount hard drives? [00:25] livecd [00:25] live cd? [00:26] MsG: nope change hard disk priority from bios [00:26] Hi, I have a problem with my speakers and I was wondering if anyone could help me... [00:26] EricTheHax: Steam is closed source isn't it? if so well there you go, the vender decides to change something major, and as a user/proggrammer there isn't really anything you can do about it [00:26] alokito: I honestly can't stand rhythmbox. that program drives me nuts. I almost always have problems with pulseaudio or oss when I use it. I also I have a really big collection which rhythmbox never seems to get all of it. It usually only loads a half one time then the other half another. then none at all... [00:26] attickid, and errors too of course [00:26] stsm: iwconfig wlan0 essid hourglass key s:XXXXXXXXX " . then I did "sudo dhclient wlan0" [00:26] I have 5.1 Surround sound hooked up to my PC. [00:26] MsG: Why do you want it to be sda? Depending on your reason you might want to look into uuids or labels instead. [00:26] but my hdd priority in bios is already in the right order. But it still initializes the ubuntu hdd as the second [00:26] is there a way I can see the drivers used for my network card? [00:26] timbojimbo: o, okay :| [00:26] My front speakers work fine but my rear speakers are VERY quiet. [00:26] stsm: Im pretty sure of the essid and key, cause Ive just got connected in my windows machine. [00:26] attickid, and dhclient output? [00:26] jwormy: lshw -c network [00:26] How can I adjust the volume for just the rear speakers [00:26] what would the application name be for a port on a router for kopete be: telnet, http, https, ftp, dns, smtp, pop3, h.323, remote desktop, pptp, l2tp, or wake-on-lan? [00:27] aliendude5300: check how many channels alsamixer is using [00:27] alokito: thanks for the suggestions though! [00:27] does anyone have any information on the "ubuntu moblin remix"? just heard of it and it definitely sounds interesting =o === sunshinepants1 is now known as sunshinepants [00:27] Because I have some kind of autistic perfectionistic bullcrap inside me that tells me to be the first drive the first name :) [00:27] MsG: you may have to physically reorder the disks to get them labelled differently... [00:27] I can use puppy linux, but it would be nice if there was an ubuntu that runs out of ram. [00:27] I'm using pulseaudio... the speakers are ON, just QUIET. [00:27] aliendude5300: are u using ubuntu or kubuntu? [00:27] Ubuntu. [00:27] when I do it now, my install will be dead I guess? [00:27] aliendude5300: sounds like pulseaudio is not set to use 4 channels. [00:27] Jordan_U: perfect, thanks [00:27] aliendude5300: check your mixer settings [00:27] jwormy: np [00:28] No, all the channels are outputting sound... they are just quiet... the profile is set to 5.1 [00:28] stsm: http://www.copypastecode.com/11358/ [00:28] Blankman: you know you can run a live disk right? [00:28] I dont know where I can adjust channel volumes individually [00:28] aliendude5300: im in kubuntu now so can't say how to configure in gnome [00:28] timbojimbo: yep, but that does not run 100% out of ram. if there is a hard drive it mounts. [00:28] attickid, its probably a problem with your key, you can tell it hat kind of key it is [00:28] Blankman: if you got a big enough USB stick you can also run a persistent install from that [00:28] If I turn up the volume, the rear sound fine but the front are REALLY loud :( [00:28] Blankman: knoppix can use toram [00:28] attickid, how many bit, and if its hex, etc [00:28] I hope Ubuntu will soon come up with some visual sudo unlock inside the program itself. Like the default network applet has [00:28] Dunno where the option is. [00:29] I know how to do it in Windows :/ [00:29] i dunno the details off the top of my hat but thats most likely the problem since your hardware works fine [00:29] that 'autistic perfectionistic bullcrap' is thought to be genetic in origin, and makes people good at detail-oriented work that others can't do... [00:29] aliendude5300: right click your sound icon in the notification area [00:29] Jordan_U: what is knoppix and what is toram [00:29] hello guys, i am looking for help in getting my sound card working. [00:29] is the compiz frame limiter vsync? if not how do i make compiz use vsync [00:29] :P yeah but I hate it sometimes, because I want everything in perfect order [00:29] stsm: 128 bit wep. [00:29] alokito: I'm in the sound preferences box right now. The option isn't there. [00:29] which isnt always possible [00:29] losher: maybe you should have used auto complete for that message, so they don't miss it [00:29] when i got to sound preferences, and do a test, i can get sound but it wont play otherwise [00:29] then search the menus, u should find some menu to add channels in the mixer window [00:29] I have the idea that my bios order is different from the ubuntu initialisation order :S [00:30] i had heard of that difference before [00:30] add front, rear and other channels as necessary [00:30] attickid, try removing s: , but im just guessing now [00:30] Where would the mixer be? I'm on 9.10 Alpha 6 if it makes a difference... [00:30] Blankman: Knoppix is a LiveCD distribution ( actually the origional LiveCD ) and has an option "toram" that you enter at boot to load the contents of the CD into ram and run from that so that you can eject the CD [00:30] its probably something trivial liek that [00:30] IRC chat is like having a conversation in a bus :) [00:30] aliendude5300 : Please join #ubuntu+1 for Karmic/9.10 support/discussion. [00:30] and others too [00:30] sebsebseb: MsG: oops. MsG please see my msg above. Thanks sebsebseb [00:30] i didnt use wireless for years so i dunno it anymore, i would need to search myself [00:30] MsG: at least in #ubuntu :P [00:30] Error for wireless request "Set Encode" (8B2A) :. I use ascii phrase [00:30] but i dont have anymore time [00:30] got to go to bed [00:30] someone else can probably help you [00:30] It should be the same on all releases... I dont see the need... [00:30] stsm: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:30] aliendude5300: im in 9.10 alpha6 too but in kubuntu [00:30] losher: np [00:31] ah ok, sorry im trying to help someone [00:31] Jordan_U: Can you do that with any other distros? [00:31] aliendude5300: gnome might be different in alpha6, dunno [00:31] alokito: The weird thing is I know how to do it in KDE, cause I'm used to KDE 3... I'm switching to GNOME, and everything is different. [00:31] Jordan_U: ok, I may look at it. Puppy does it also. light and small, but it requires more knowledge. [00:31] annoying channel here anyways, what other channels have a floodbot? [00:31] KDE 4 sucks :( [00:31] by physical you mean the sata cables? [00:31] alokito, aliendude5300: 9.10 discussion is offtopic for here, please join #ubuntu+1 [00:31] but why is the ubuntu order different from the motherboard one [00:31] aliendude5300: kde3 isn't default anymore [00:31] aliendude5300: I love kde4 [00:32] aliendude5300: there's a repo for KDE 3 that can be added to 9.04, there's also a 9.04 KDE 3 Remix CD [00:32] when did you try it last? [00:32] I didn't get any of KDE with those plasmoids [00:32] so I ran back to gnome [00:32] timbojimbo: Many, the ones I know of are knoppix, Damn Small Linux, sidux and puppy linux [00:32] it was very unstable in 4.0 [00:32] someone at work said that mint just released an xfce version of mint7 and he said it has a ram only option. [00:32] !offtopic [00:32] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [00:33] can I auto commit a folder? I have this /usr/bin/svn commit /home/user/backups but its not working [00:33] * aliendude5300 is now in ubuntu+1 [00:34] Jordan_U: , thanks [00:34] Blankman: np [00:34] Ok, my Flash sound on youtube , etc is totally broken...I am all out of answers, i really need help [00:34] hiredgoon, I have just installed Ubuntu on a separate partition from XP Home on my desktop. How do I get to the files on my Windows partition from Ubuntu? [00:34] Crash1hd: You might want to look at some version controll backup solutions like etckeeper [00:35] What I'd really like is a DOS prompt [00:35] revenge: reinstall flashplugin-nonfree and flashplugin-installer from synaptic [00:35] when I have ubuntu now on /dev/sdb and when I physically reorder the things so that the windows/ubuntu hdd will be /dev/sda instead of sdb, will my current install be broken? [00:36] will source sdk faceposer function well, with the speech thing and all, in ubuntu 9.04 with wine? [00:36] MsG: Why do you want to reorder them? [00:36] MsG: It shouldn't be, Ubuntu uses UUIDs wherever possible [00:36] can anyone point me a link or tell me how to configure grub ? [00:37] does ANYONE here use source sdk [00:37] !grub | uwall-e [00:37] uwall-e: 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 [00:37] Ubuntu does this really neat thing were it turns off my external HDD, I like it : ), the problem is that if I boot ubuntu with my drive pluged in it will NEVER turn it off :( why? how do I fix? I know theres gotta be a file for it somewhere :P [00:37] i installed debain and it didnt show up as an option [00:38] I have just installed Ubuntu on a separate partition from XP Home on my desktop. How do I get to the files on my Windows partition from Ubuntu, and how to I get to a MS-DOS prompt from Ubuntu? [00:38] MsG: depends on the labelling scheme used in /boot/grub/menu.lst and /etc/fstab. It it uses uuids, then it should still 'just' work... [00:38] ok rephrase: I have an application that, in windows, requires speech sdk. will it work in wine? [00:38] uwall-e: u can manually add the option in ubuntu's grub [00:38] iv used grub alot but never had to really manually add an OS from skratch like this ! [00:38] EricTheHax: Best to ask in Wine's official support channel, #winehq [00:38] in grub menu l.st [00:38] uwall-e: You can copy an Ubuntu entry and modify it easily enough [00:38] I want to reorder them because I hate it that my first drive isnt really the first drive [00:38] ? [00:38] DryGrain I don't think you can get a prompt, and I assume your file system is NTSF which will cause torouble, but you should be able to mount it [00:38] uwall-e: What version of debian ( stable, testing, unstable)?

[00:41] alokito, can you tell me how to properly uninstall all flash and do that? [00:41] uwall-e: You can look at the file /boot/grub/menu.lst or pastebin it and we can tell you if debian was added ( rebooting would work also ) [00:41] yeah but thats kind of a surrogate ;). I think I will physical reorder them once [00:41] thx for the help tho [00:41] Dominik2: add a line to /etc/rc.local (creating it if necessary). Something like hdparm -S 240 /dev/sdc [00:42] losher where sdc is my external drive right? [00:42] revenge: reinstalling a package will automatically uninstall it and then reinstall it freshly [00:42] revenge: open synaptic and find the packages flashplugin-nonfree and flashplugin-installer, then right click on them an select reinstall [00:42] Dominik2: right, whatever it's named on your system.

[01:03] lucyB: yes and I saw you mention it [01:03] guys [01:03] pharaoh: I think that virtualbox stores its virtual machines in ~/.Virtualbox, but I still doubt that running out of space is the problem, especially if you have 400 meg free already [01:03] Like I said, Ubuntu worked fine until I installed XP through VB. [01:03] Dominik2: it's a file. It runs as the last thing in the boot sequence every time the system boots, so it's where people put customisations that they want to run as root once per bootup... [01:03] lucyB: most peopel just delete the partitions, there isn't really much of a point doing other stuff, unless your for example going to sell your computer to someone else [01:04] well when I run df -h the "Use %" for the fs is 100% [01:04] I am setting it up for my older sister. [01:04] I'm installing tomcat, but it's linking against gcj instead of the java I installed earlier (Sun 6 JRE) [01:04] any easy way to fix that? [01:05] lucyB: ok well deleting the partitions with gparted on the live cd, should be fine then, and then installing Ubuntu [01:05] pharaoh: Check ~/.Virtualbox, "sudo apt-get clean" is also a good way to free up some space [01:05] ok, sebsebseb do you know where i can get instructions on how to use dban? [01:06] yo guys [01:06] lucyB: when I tried it, it was just put the CD in to the computer, and let it delete stuff [01:06] !ask | aboanas93 [01:06] aboanas93: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily).

[01:09] okay i will try it now, thanks. [01:09] mgv1: It means that one of the repositories you have added cannot be accessed, do you use any third party repos that might be down? Are you having any network problems? [01:09] aboanas93, and java will be, sudo apt-get install java6-jre [01:09] there is a reason why windows is still being used even if linux is ready for prime time. [01:09] lucyB: if your just giving it to your sister, I expect it's fine to just delete the partitions normalley [01:09] lucyB: Dban is also not a LInux program by the way [01:09] sebsebseb, I need to do it completely. That is what I need. [01:09] lucyB: This isn't a complaint channel. And we don't support dban here, it is not an Ubuntu program. [01:09] after that ,do i have to close firefox?

[02:28] no [02:29] leelee: I don't know how to explain you, just go to the right bar and grab it to the left, so you can resize the bar [02:29] dobblego: ok did you let Ubuntu resize your Vista partition? [02:29] i have been able to hear sound when i set my sound card on prefrences, but otherwise i hear nothing. === sunshinepants1 is now known as sunshinepants [02:29] sebsebseb, I tried, but it hit an error immediately trying to do so [02:29] ok thx for that [02:29] dobblego: ok [02:30] dobblego: you shoudn't use Gparted or any of that to resize a Vista partition, because data loss migh thappen [02:30] it just makes the page wider doesnt show the nicks [02:30] got another one..i know what stuffed my grub menu.lst... [02:30] dobblego: instead let Vista resize itself, there's a built in tool or two for this, well two sure, the graphical one and the command line [02:30] sebsebseb, does the ubuntu installation use gparted? [02:30] anyone know how to add a splash image to (k)ubuntu booloader?? [02:30] sebsebseb, ok, so I boot into vista to use this tool? [02:30] dobblego: the Ubuntu installer uses something else [02:31] the right way....hehe [02:31] dobblego: yes let Vista resize itself, and no you don't use Gparted in Vista [02:31] !gparted | dobblego [02:31] dobblego: gparted is a !GTK/!Gnome !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php [02:31] sebsebseb, ok, I'll have to figure out what you use then [02:31] dobblego: What I am saying is don't let the Ubuntu installer or Gparted resize your Vista partition. [02:31] yes I have used gparted before, I wasn't using gparted [02:31] sebsebseb, ok, a windows thing to do it then, thanks [02:32] Hey I just installed open box. When I select session gnome/openbox it gives me this error message: Unknown option --choose-session=openbox-session. When I use Openbox by itself it runs but there is no interface. all i can do is right click on the desktop and do things via the terminal. not terrible but my girlfriend wont be able to use it. any suggestions? Ideas? [02:32] dobblego: thinking of what I mean uhmm. system computer right click, and computer management or something. well ##windows can help you resize Vista anyway, plus you might find that, even after you resized it using it's tool, it's taking up tons of space [02:33] sebsebseb, ok, I'll look into it thanks, I don't suppose there is a ubuntu wiki page on it [02:33] dobblego: nope don't think so [02:33] hey all [02:33] anyone want a drink..??

[03:21] I tried using gparted but grub is still coming up. [03:21] DoOver: Purpose of formatting the drive? [03:22] zebi, I want to reformat my drive completely, 100%. I want all data off the drive. [03:22] good evening [03:22] hi [03:22] test irssi [03:22] i've got an odd install problem that i've repeated no matter the solution [03:22] anyone have a solution for my problem? [03:22] funnyman: How far does it get in booting> [03:22] I tried dban, but I am getting an error. (non-fatal error) [03:22] can-not get past the initial login screen [03:22] after installation w/ alternate cd [03:23] on 9.04 [03:23] leaf-sheep, I want to re-install ubuntu and windows in a dual boot for my sister. === xyz is now known as RukusX [03:23] I'm having a problem fixing the screen resolution on my computer [03:23] key/mouse freezes up and i cant even type the user name [03:23] it's only going up to 1280x1240 when windows can go much higher. any ideas? [03:24] Am I the first person that wants to format a drive? How can this be hard? does ubuntu ship with a program that will format the COMPLETE drive? [03:24] hey is swap on a machine with 2gb's of ram necessary? like do i really need 2 - 5 gigs of swap space? i never see my computer using swap ever. [03:24] bobertdos, i showed the ubuntu loading bar , then checks for fs (which we can press Esc for skipping) It doesn't matter whether i press ESC, it will go to this black console printing error messages, and it's been staying frozen for like 20 mins [03:24] when I try to install a new linux-header-generic the DKMS fails for building the nvidia module, how can I get it to build and not fail? [03:25] funnyman: Reboot, and then before the splash screen, do Alt-F1. It should switch to a rather verbose text boot. [03:25] Does anyone know how to format a hard drive? I need to erase the data on the drive. I tried gparted but grub is still coming up (with errors of course, but it comes up and that tells me the drive is not formated completely). [03:25] DoOver you can with the windows cd and the ubuntu cd too, or with acronis [03:25] DoOver: what type of filesystem do u want? [03:25] windows will not reformat the whole drive [03:26] slade, I am doing a dual boot. [03:26] or gparted.. [03:26] what is acronis? [03:26] DoOver: is the drive partitioned? [03:26] where do i find the default gateway in linux? [03:26] slade, I want to do a format on the drive... partitions will be wiped. [03:26] DoOver, then you need to fdisk the drive [03:26] gparted will help you [03:27] ncfi1013: find the ip of the default gateway on your network? [03:27] DoOver a program for erase all data on hard disk [03:27] so what is the deal on swap space? [03:27] slade, thired time, I did gparted. grub is still coming up. [03:27] bobertdos a got a shell now, starting with (initramfs), is this what you meant? [03:27] is there a way to restart ubuntu on a mac [03:27] ncfi1013: In the terminal, you can use ifconfig. Graphically, you can right-click the network icon on the top and check Connection Information. [03:27] How do I share an external USB drive on my wireless network with other computers? [03:27] DoOver: First time, i didn't see the other two times you said it. [03:27] slade, fare enough. [03:27] DoOver: Got an old windows98 boot floppy? [03:27] even better, got a floppy drive? [03:28] bobertdos: buzz :) [03:28] can anyone tell me how to get DKMS to build the nvidia module when installing a new kernel? [03:28] slade the windows fdisk will not format the whole drive. the outer part of the drive will not be touched. [03:28] it keeps failing on me... [03:28] but you must burn a cd.. [03:28] funnyman: Not quite, at the shell, you should be able to reboot, either by typing reboot or doing control alt delete. Then do alt F1 to do the text boot. [03:28] if not, and you have the windows CD. boot off of that, then go into widnows recovery console, and type in FIXMBR [03:28] Hello I have a big problem installing anything on my ubuntu 9.04 after tried to install JAVA...The java failed to install and I get the error E:dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run "sudo dpkg -- configure -a" to correct the problem E: _cache-open()failed),please report [03:28] DoOver: the syntax is fdisk /MBR [03:29] yes its the best with windows cd [03:29] that will kill grub [03:29] zebi, thanks, I will check out acronis [03:29] but then you need to get into the windows recovery console with the windows install cd [03:29] and do FIXMBR [03:29] gparted works too [03:29] slade, what does the /mbr do for you? [03:29] zebi_: appears he doesn't want to use gparted [03:29] RukusX: it is not necessary to have swap but if you ever need it and do not have your system will crash so it's pretty much up to you [03:29] DoOver: it erases the Master Boot Record [03:29] that is where grub is installed [03:30] Simple question. I have a typical DVD file stucture Audio and Video direcotories containeing the typical vob files etc. How would one properly burn that to a DVD without converting to ISO etc... in Ubuntu [03:30] be warned, if you do not have a boot cd or floppy, you wont be able to boot your pc again [03:30] zonedfull: I assume you get the second part of the error again if you run "sudo dpkg --configure -a" ? [03:30] thanks slade. that might do it. [03:30] ctmjr: well i have 2gb ram.... how much swap should i have? [03:30] DoOver, read my warning [03:30] slade and zebi, I have tried gparted several times... grub is till there. [03:30] Yes I have tried that In terminal [03:30] RukusX: Do you want to be able to hibernate? [03:31] RukusX: 2 gigs of ram doesnt touch your swap... swap is like the pagefile in windows... [03:31] bobertdos: i have multiple OSes installed, right after i choose ubuntu, if i press fast enough , i get this prompt but it's not a shell. I tried "reboot" and now the screen is totally black, no message.. [03:31] zonedfull: The terminal makes it easier to fix this. Run the commands it's telling you. Install java using sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre and make sure you accept the license agreement by using the tab key to move around. [03:31] slade, I am using ubuntu and windows... i am wiping the drive. yes I ahve the reinstall disks. [03:31] bobertdos: Press fast enough = press Alt+F1 fast enough [03:31] DoOver, then that's all you need [03:31] brb gotta reboot [03:31] acostello: don't compare to windows for me. lol won't work. :) [03:32] then i need to address this screen resolution problem [03:32] RukusX: lol ok [03:32] does anyone know why DKMS fails to build Nvidia on new kernels, is it because the Nvidia packs are just meant for certain kernels? [03:32] zonedfull: Could you please file a bug report with "ubuntu-bug dpkg" ? [03:32] RukusX: it is recommended to have double the amount of ram [03:32] acostello: haha i am just having fun. :) i know that ubuntu does use swap different;y than windows tho [03:32] NO when I write it now it came up with setting up sun.java6-fonts [03:33] Slade, thanks. Nice to come accross someone who knows what they are doing and can explain clearly. I really appreciate it. [03:33] I do have cfdisk also, do you know what that is? [03:33] ctmjr: but where is the threshold? that is old recommendations. Now we have machines with 4 gbs of ram or more, would it make sense to havea 6gb swap file/ partition ? [03:33] funnyman: Do you have a live cd? If you do, use that to get at your Ubuntu partition. Edit the file /boot/grub/menu.lst. Find in the most current automagic kernel entry the word "splash" and delete it. [03:33] bobertdos: i think it's BusyBox built-in shell . It says here [03:33] But there is also a problem with that...This package is an installer packager it does not actually contain the JDK documation. You will need to download one of the archives.. [03:33] Hello. I've gotten a new monitor and I have it configured with proper resolution and refresh rates in xorg.conf so that my login screen and other users' screens come up perfectly, however whenever I log into my profile my resolution is reverted back to my old resolution, and I have to manually change it using CCC. Anyone know how I can make the changes persistent? [03:34] ctmjr i mean 10 gb [03:34] or 12 [03:34] whatever [03:34] lolol [03:34] u get the point [03:34] RukusX: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:34] bobertdos: okie, i'll give that a go, thanks [03:34] I have downloaded the JDK doc... but I dont get the acces to paste the file into the root directory like its explained in the Terminal [03:34] Yes IM a newbie [03:34] RukusX: The main consideration now is how much you need to hibernate, as hibernation saves your RAM compressed to the swap partition you need somewhat less than your physical memory for swap to be able to hibernate [03:35] Jordan_U: thats fine and all. but i never plan on hibernating. [03:35] Jordan_U: but that might be a good guideline to go by, for your total failsafe minimum. its not a bad point [03:36] the thing is, that i never see free -m using swap ever [03:36] Swap: 2149 0 2149 [03:36] lol [03:36] Jordan U how do I do that [03:37] Mabe It would be easier all if I could have the IRC client at the ubuntu PC... [03:37] RukusX , open 30 firefox pages [03:37] dios_mio: who would? [03:37] zonedfull: sudo apt-get install irssi [03:37] Now Im into a windows PC cause I cant install IRC at the ubuntu since the Synapic is down [03:37] ah lol [03:37] zonedfull: Pidgin supports IRC ( though the interface isn't great for IRC ) [03:37] bobertdos: what was the possible cause of this issue? (i'm still booting the live cd) [03:38] zonedfull: And pidgin comes pre-installed [03:38] i use kvirc or xchat [03:38] right now is kvirc [03:38] hey guys, i have ubuntu installed onto my harddrive, i decided to install xp after that so i installed it at the last 10 gigs of the drive, however when i run xp it runs really slowly and freezes a lot. is that because of ubuntu? [03:38] hello everyone. I use Ubuntu 8.04.3 LTS and I would like to know how I write ASCII characters like those hearts <3, (tm) and stuff like that [03:38] zonedfull: can u compile? [03:38] powerjuce: did you move windows to the front or back of your hard drive? [03:39] . [03:39] powerjuce: sorry i misread [03:39] powerjuce: do some googling, but maybe windows xp doesnt like being at the back of the hard drive [03:39] What does 'desc' stand for in the filename /usr/share/tasksel/ubuntu-tasks.desc? [03:40] RukusX: ok thaks [03:40] I have ubuntu 9.04, I need to install windows 7 rc 7100 build to test if its my ubuntu install or just hardware thats not working correctly how do I prevent having to reinstall ubuntu if I find out its just hardware? (I'm testing my webcam) [03:40] funnyman: Well, sometimes, as with my laptop, if your system runs at a resolution that isn't supported by the splash screen controller, the bot sequence will choke because it's looking for boot decoration at a resolution it doesn't actually support. It's a little weird, but that's the best I can explain it. That may or may not be your issue, but it works in some situations. [03:40] bullgard4: it may be a debian description file [03:40] 'description' [03:40] anyone know how to get kopete to connect to yahoo? [03:40] Im sitting with pidgin trying to configure [03:40] :) [03:41] Sorry for my late answer [03:41] powerjuce: Run a checkdisk in windows, if it finds nothing wrong then it's not resizing that caused the problem [03:42] I have a EEE 900 series. I don't know if my camera is recognized or not. Does Ubuntu have drivers and software for in-built laptop cameras? Is there any software that will allow me to voice chat on Ubuntu? [03:42] Jordan_U: ok [03:42] bobertdos: thanks:), now i'm in Ubuntu live, but i can't see /boot/grup/menu.lst [03:43] well anyone? [03:43] Now Iam connected [03:43] harisund: You can test your camera with a program called "cheeze" which you can install from Applications > Add / Remove, it's a lot like Apple's Photo Booth [03:43] funnyman: grub, not grup [03:43] I THINK [03:43] yes U am [03:43] Uncle|Sam: is zonedfull1 connected?

[03:45] does anyone know why DKMS fails to build Nvidia on new kernels, is it because the Nvidia packs are just meant for certain kernels? [03:45] harisund: There are a few options for video chat, empathy, the newest version of Pidgin ( which is not in 9.04 ), ekiga ( which comes pre-installed ) and skype ( which is proprietary ) [03:45] I want to install a new kernel and DKSM fails to build nvidia [03:45] Jordan_U, I didn't know Skype on linux supported video chat. Thank you! Will try that out [03:45] harisund: I don't have experience with any of them though so no reccomendation :) [03:46] funnyman: Wait, wait, first look in Places to see if your Ubuntu partition is listed there. If it is, select it and it will mount, usually to the /media folder. [03:46] bobertdos: if i use File Browser, i see 3 partitions, 1 is 2GB which has folder "grub", "lost+found" and all the initrd.img === Xpl0it_Away is now known as Xpl0it [03:46] Jodan_U: what did u want me to send..

[03:48] funnyman: What are you trying to do? [03:48] zonedfull1: It's better if you use pastebin so others can help [03:48] funnyman: Sounds to me like that partition was never completely formatted.

[03:49] bobertdos: I just tried to click on that partition , using the File Browser .

[03:50] Jordan_U: i'm trying to fix the fs [03:50] funnyman: You know, you may need to install again. It really sounds like that Ubuntu partition is corrupt. [03:51] Is this the way to do it:http://paste.ubuntu.com/276722/ [03:51] Jordan_U: i'm in live Ubuntu, and i can't access my installed ubuntu partition :( [03:51] funnyman: Ok, can you pastebin the output of "sudo fdisk -l"? [03:51] bobertdos: that sounds real bad to me [03:51] did you guys know that to copy and paste very easly is just highlight what you want to copy , then whereever you want it pasted just click on the middle mouse button and it will automaticly paist it there. i cant do this because i have 4 buttons rather than 3 [03:52] Jordan_U: ok, 1 sec [03:52] lstarnes: Ah, thank you for explaining. [03:52] Hello. I've gotten a new monitor and I have it configured with proper resolution and refresh rates in xorg.conf so that my login screen and other users' screens come up perfectly, however whenever I log into my profile my resolution is reverted back to my old resolution, and I have to manually change it using CCC. Anyone know how I can make the changes persistent? [03:53] zonedfull1: How did you try to install java the very first time? [03:53] Fohn: What do you mean "using CCC" ? [03:53] * nit is back.

Hoffff :) [03:56] funnyman: Run "sudo fsck /dev/sda3" to check and optionally repair that partititon [03:57] zonedfull1: Uninstall everything java related that you can from Synaptic. [03:57] I cant cause I cant get into synaptic...I got error then [03:57] does anyone here use a Thinkpad X300? [03:57] zonedfull1: What's the error you get with Synaptic. [03:58] Dallas: Most of your basic software comes preinstalled with ubuntu. The best way to learn is just learning as you go, but if you have questions, feel free to ask on here, or peruse the forums: http://ubuntuforums.org/index.php [03:58] zonedfull1: Can you please pastebin the output of "sudo dpkg --configure -a" ? [03:58] Jordan_U: Sometimes, it asks like "Deleted inode 245769 has zero dtime. Fix ? ", what should i do? "y" ? [03:58] zonedfull1: If you can't use pastebin for some reason then you can pm it to me but I would prefer pastebin [03:58] Ubuntu is a good operating system. [03:58] It is.

I tried unetbootin but all I get is a Default option at bootup and it just loops back again.

[04:02] Say when I try to install the Mainline kernel linux-image-2.6.31-020631 when I install the headers DKMS fails to build Nvidia, anyone can help please? [04:02] zonedfull1: Basically, our goal is to get the stuff that's already been installed purged so we can try and start fresh. Here's a hint for future reference. If your comfortable with the terminal, apt-get is your friend. Synaptic is not always so much your friend :P [04:03] Xgates: You installed the mainline headers package? [04:04] Jordan_U: ahhh didn't know there was such a package to install, is it in Synaptic, look for mainline? [04:04] does anyone here use a Thinkpad X300? [04:05] Xgates: No, it's in the same "PPA" that you got the mainline kernel image package from [04:05] !info lm-sensors | brianV there is some configuring to it [04:05] Jordan_U: I got it here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/MainlineBuilds?action=show&redirect=KernelMainlineBuilds [04:05] brianV: lm-sensors (source: lm-sensors-3): utilities to read temperature/voltage/fan sensors.

[04:07] zonedfull1: Now remove sun-java6-doc ( sudo apt-get remove sun-java6-doc ) [04:07] ok [04:08] How do I play a ratDVD format? i have googled some but have not found the right answer, lots of junk links [04:08] brianV: your welcome you might want too google it to see how to set it up it's been a long time since i played with it [04:08] Thid I successfully remove java5 there [04:08] ? [04:09] funnyman: You can just hold down the y, key. You might have lost some files though so when its done I would back up anything important and just know that you may need to re-install ( usually files lost are system files rather than personal files, just because there are so many more of them :) [04:09] Jordan_u yes: its removed.. [04:09] Jordan_U: Thanks [04:10] zonedfull1: Ok, are you still getting any errors? [04:10] i want only one instance of mplayer when selecting second media file... can any on help me avoid mplayer opening in second instance..!! [04:10] funnyman: np [04:10] Jordan_U: you talking about the Linux Headers? If so that's the problem when I try to install I think it's the generic one it won't compile Nvidia module [04:11] funnyman: The files that fsck finds but doesn't know the name of ( or what directory they are supposed to be in ) will bin in /lost+found [04:11] Jodan_U now I can get into the synaptic ..GREAT! THANK U...But how do I install java now...and the Adobe Flash Player....That would be the greatest EVER [04:11] how do I record my voice? [04:11] or to play flash movies [04:11] Cause I cant [04:12] dios_mio, you can go to applications>sound and video>sound recorder for a very basic gui recording tool. [04:12] Jordan_U: Oh, thanks, neverknew the meaning of that directory until now :) [04:12] Ugh, this is unfortunate. I accidentally unchecked Enable Networking, but when I rechecked it my Wi-Fi wouldn't connect. I flipped off and on the manual switch, and now Ubuntu won't detect the interface at all. Now what? [04:12] fohn thans [04:12] How do I play a ratDVD format? i have googled some but have not found the right answer, lots of junk links [04:12] I am on a laptop, and I use an external monitor. Every time I reboot, I have to go back into the Nvidia controls to tell Ubuntu to use my external monitor only. How do I make it remember automatically? [04:13] Jordan_U: btw, i've made the "Enter" key stuck, it's going "fine", hehe, killing lots of things... [04:13] Xgates: You need to install the header package from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ [04:13] zonedfull1: Okay, now, make this easier on yourself and use the terminal to begin with. Use sudo apt-get install sun-java6-plugin. For flash, we need to make sure the multiverse repo is enabled and then sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree. [04:13] Xgates: The kernel headers always need to match the running kernel [04:13] dios_mio: No problem. If you want a tool with more features, you can check out audacity at http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ [04:13] felixsulla, try saving as root [04:13] ok bobertdos... [04:13] fohn, thanks [04:13] Thank u so much [04:13] I try that now [04:14] Ugh, this is unfortunate. I accidentally unchecked Enable Networking, but when I rechecked it my Wi-Fi wouldn't connect. I flipped off and on the manual switch, and now Ubuntu won't detect the interface at all. Now what? Can anyone offer a suggestion? [04:14] thiebaude: It's a desktop app, so go to terminal, run gksu Nautilus then open the Nvidia settings and save it? .. [04:14] Jordan_U: I Just told you I downloaded and installed them from here: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.31/ [04:14] zonedfull1 Installing java will ask you to accept the license agreement. Don't forget to use tab to move around when that happens. [04:14] Yes Sir [04:14] felixsulla, nvidia-settings [04:15] Jordan_U: I know what the headers are, I said the problem is when I try to install one of them it won't build Nvidia, Nvidia fails [04:15] Hello. I've gotten a new monitor and I have it configured with proper resolution and refresh rates in xorg.conf so that my login screen and other users' screens come up perfectly, however whenever I log into my profile my resolution is reverted back to my old resolution, and I have to manually change it using CCC. Anyone know how I can make the changes persistent? [04:15] What would be the simplest way of getting a newer version of subversion working? Compiling it myself? Karmic has the new version, but I don't want to upgrade yet. [04:15] there is water on the moon - i knew it! [04:15] Strife89: You can try sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart .. I have the same problem you are talking about, but I lose internet until I reboot :/ [04:15] find /dir/path/ -mmin n means find Files whose data was last modified n minutes ago. How do I find for n seconds ago? [04:15] thiebaude: Huh? [04:15] It came up with that sun java plug in is allready innstalled [04:16] Xgates: What error are you getting from DKMS? [04:16] Jordan_U: there seems to be a problem with the latest kernels that they won't build Nvidia [04:16] Fohn you might want to look up xrandr [04:16] Jordan_U: it just says build fail is all for nvidia [04:16] i think that is it [04:16] sun java6 is allready in newest version [04:16] fohn are you using nvidia drivers? [04:16] zonedfull1: Okay, so then let's turn our attention to Firefox. [04:17] Jordan_U: I tried with Nvidia 173 and 180 both fail [04:17] I am on a laptop, and I use an external monitor. Every time I reboot, I have to go back into the Nvidia controls to tell Ubuntu to use my external monitor only. How do I make it remember automatically? [04:17] felixsulla, i had to install nvidia-settings [04:17] it seems that my grub.cfg became a bin file [04:17] could anyone point me to a page about how to enter foreign characters (such as accented letters/question marks) in Ubuntu? afaik the alt in windows aren't working for that :S [04:17] felixsulla, and then gksudo nvidia-settings to save my settings [04:17] netbook: Xrandr would change the resolution for my session only. I have ATI drivers, not nvidia drivers. [04:17] If you type about:plugins into firefox, do you see the sun plugins for handling java? [04:17] felixsulla nvidia-settings is usually installed when you install restricted video driver support [04:18] netbook, yep thats what i did [04:18] fohn if you do man xrandr you will see that there are some default modes [04:18] fohn gah [04:18] sorry [04:18] i meant you should look up xrandr -q all or something like that [04:18] Well NOW its working on my bank ID the Java [04:18] set a default mode [04:18] plugin [04:18] I'm having an issue installing AVLD it's a dummy video driver. I did everything the site tells me.. and when I try to modprobe it .. it says it can't find the module [04:19] GREAT [04:19] does anyone here use a Thinkpad X300? [04:19] felixsulla: That and rebooting didn't help. :/ === Xpl0it is now known as Xpl0it_Away [04:19] the only thing I want to work now is the flash play of movies [04:19] what application name do i give kopete in port forwarding rules on the router? [04:19] Strife89: You aren't by chance on a laptop that has a switch that disables wireless that's been flipped to off..? [04:19] zonedfull1: In the terminal, do sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree. [04:20] i am a noob leading the noobs, though i did just deal with this problem [04:20] felixsulla: It has a swith, but I double-checked, it's on. [04:20] I use this site and cant play the movies here in Firefox: www.vgtv.no [04:20] anyone help me? [04:20] I'm having an issue installing AVLD it's a dummy video driver.

[04:21] i cant connect to my contacts in kopete. it keeps saying that they are offline and that wait till they are online or use software that supports offline protocol. [04:21] thie [04:21] Strife89: If you go to edit connections, and under Wireless tab is your router there? [04:21] Xgates: Proprietary drivers often don't build with the latest kernels at first [04:21] It came up with that flashplugin is allready in newest version that to [04:21] thiebaude: so ,i can't edit it [04:21] Xgates: There may be a patch needed [04:21] But i cant play the movies at that site: www.vgtv.no [04:21] wzssyqa, i dont know anything about that [04:21] wzssyqa: whats the path to the file you are attempting to edit? [04:22] felixsulla: Yes. [04:22] zonedfull1: Okay, so check about:plugins in Firefox. If you have Gnash or other flash alternatives in there, they need to die. [04:22] musikgoat: /boot/grub/grub.cfg [04:22] Jordan_U: ok if you find a patch please let me know, I'll try an older kernel in the meantime... [04:22] <_n3ss_> paaa cuanta gente!

[04:22] <_n3ss_> buenas a todos [04:22] wzssyqa: first, i think you should ask in #ubuntu+1, unless you are running jaunty and grub2 [04:22] Anyone/ [04:23] !anyone | gOLDfeesh [04:23] gOLDfeesh, please see my private message [04:23] lol.

But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [04:23] wzssyqa: once you've edited that file, you then run sudo update-grub and it will write it to the grub.cfg [04:23] Strife89: Agreed, I think Ubuntu has dumbed your ethernet card? [04:24] Anyways, my question any idea as to why I can't load the module? Pastebin: http://pastebin.com/d3e6b506e [04:24] musikgoat: t will try [04:24] felixsulla: Is a reinstall in order? [04:24] wzssyqa: i think its /etc/default/grub.something... i don't have grub2 on this machine [04:24] Strife89: I dont think you should have to do that.. there is probably a way to get it to recognize your wireless again. [04:24] what application name do i give kopete in port forwarding rules on the router?i cant connect to my contacts in kopete. it keeps saying that they are offline and that wait till they are online or use software that supports offline protocol.

[04:25] does anyone here use a Thinkpad X300? [04:26] and qucktime with Totem [04:26] zonedfull1: When you go to that site to you get a message about missing plugins or does the video just not play?

[04:26] the video just not play [04:26] felixsulla: Question is ... what? [04:26] not any question [04:26] musikgoat: it seems that have a grub [04:26] frybye: Do Microsoft even provide support for Windows 2000 anymore? [04:27] sebsebseb, no [04:27] wzssyqa: what? [04:27] sebsebseb, its past extended support [04:27] Strife89: Lets dig around on Google here... [04:27] zonedfull1: Anything else besides shockwave flash? What version does it list? [04:27] musikgoat: but in it ,there is no item for boot [04:27] sebsebseb: not sure - but I have no say in such decisions at the job - just expected to do what I am told... [04:27] thiebaude: yes that's what I thought, so what's this about frybye having to prepare computers for Windows 2000? [04:27] sebsebseb: No. [04:27] !grub2 | wzssyqa [04:27] wzssyqa: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [04:27] musikgoat: i am trying boot arch from ubuntu's grub2 [04:27] anyone know of a way to set the boot resolution to something the framebuffer doesn't support (grub2) [04:28] frybye: ok well that's silly, but should be able to just delete the partitions on the 2000 CD and install, or use gparted to delete tehm [04:28] wzssyqa: maybe you should ask in #arch [04:28] seems like its totem that handles everyting [04:28] frybye: If that install CD can install to those computers it can format them itself. You might want to ask in ##windows [04:28] wzssyqa: or #archlinux [04:28] frybye, just install the cd [04:29] exept flash that is shockwave flash 9.0 r999 [04:29] musikgoat: but i am using the ubuntu's grub [04:29] wzssyqa: What happens when you run "sudo update-grub" ? [04:29] what application name do i give kopete in port forwarding rules on the router? and i cant connect to my contacts in kopete. it keeps saying that they are offline and that wait till they are online or use software that supports offline protocol. [04:29] sebsebseb: the boss does not want us to use the win2000 install cd - he has a pre-prepared image that is supposed to match the hardware we have ... my question is what settings in gparted to use....? [04:29] jodan_U: nothing happens yes it doesnt ask for codecs or anything [04:29] Jordan_U: i can't edit /boot/grub/grub.cfg [04:30] felixsulla: I can't search, my DS is my only way to the Internet 'till my laptop's back up, and it's running ClIRC at the moment. [04:30] wzssyqa: no you are simply using grub2, and trying to boot to arch, most people here aren't yet familiar with grub2, but that link ubottu gave ou might help [04:30] wzssyqa: You shouldn't edit it [04:30] GPG error: http://packages.medibuntu.org jaunty Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 2EBC26B60C5A2783 [04:30] Jordan_U: i gave him the correct path to /etc/default/grub [04:30] hmmm... I am confused myself - my college is deaf+dumb and it is hard to communicate with him... have no figured out how this image is supposed to be installed.... [04:30] frybye: Gparted is for making and deleting partitions that kind of thing, not using prepared images [04:30] anyone know of a way to set the boot resolution to something the framebuffer doesn't support [04:30] wzssyqa: When you run "sudo update-grub" does update-grub add an entry for arch? [04:30] I'm having an issue using screen: on a remote computer i have screen running for user1, I ssh to that box with user2, then i 'su' to log on with user1 but i can't do "screen -r"; any reason why? [04:30] zonedfull1: Eee, yeah, not good [04:31] frybye: as far as I know [04:31] !keyring | jimbeam12 [04:31] Sorry, I don't know anything about keyring [04:31] Jordan_U: i wiil try [04:31] yeah how to i get it [04:31] zonedfull1: Are you on jaunty? [04:31] how do i get it ctmjr [04:31] Strife89: What does "lshw -c network" show? Probably no card right? [04:31] sebsebseb: the bs is that at work they have the ports shut off for irc - so I cant get any help there this way... [04:31] bobertdos: shall I remove the shockwave flash then [04:31] jimbeam12: on the medibuntu website [04:31] Jordan_U: yes,it find it [04:32] frybye: do they have ssh port disabled? [04:32] zonedfull1: yes [04:32] ok I try that [04:32] frybye: ssh home, and run irssi from there, screen+irssi = win! [04:32] and then close firefox [04:32] zonedfull1: You're not trying Koala, are you? [04:32] D3RGPS31: If the kernel framebuffer can't support it you can't get that resolution without X. Note that KMS drivers will support the same resolutions for X and the framebuffer [04:32] Jordan_U: but,ubuntu have become non-unix [04:32] felixsulla: Actually, it's there ... Says it's disabled. [04:32] musikgoat: dont know really.... they ahve some sort of proxy running there that dosent allow one to do much at all... [04:32] wzssyqa: How so? [04:32] firefox [04:32] wzssyqa: what does that mean? [04:33] Strife89: Oh, ok. so we just have to enable it. [04:33] wzssyqa: because of grub2? [04:33] frybye: ok I think you should ask in ##windows [04:33] zonedfull1: No, I mean Ubuntu version [04:33] musikgoat: i think i can do everything with vi on unix [04:33] jimbeam12: or try this sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get update [04:33] No i think this is just ubuntu 9.04 [04:33] he means that grub.cfh is no longer a text file, which is not the case (at least in my debian box) [04:33] frybye: ok they have ports blocked, but are still silly enough to be running 2000 when Microsoft no longer support it hmm [04:33] musikgoat: but here,i can't [04:33] sebsebseb: always the problem with such questions - in windows they will say "questions about gparted in #ubuntu etc..." [04:34] how do I remove the plug in [04:34] frybye: as far as I know for what you want to use, you don't use gparted [04:34] Anyone have a microsoft vx-1000 working ? (I get the green screen-> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libv4l/+bug/379024 ) [04:34] frybye, what do they have on the computers now? [04:34] wzssyqa: what makes you say that grub.cfg is not a text file ? [04:34] zonedfull1: sudo apt-get purge libflashplayer-nonfree. [04:34] the only option is to turn it off [04:34] Strife89: Um, .. so this is kind of a guess, but try "sudo ifconfig wlan0 up" [04:34] wzssyqa: This is a configuration that is generated by shell scripts ( which you can edit with vi ), it doesn't get more unix than that [04:34] frybye: I just logged in .. what's the question? [04:34] frybye: as far as I know you can't use some kind of partition backup image with gparted [04:34] prince_jammys: grub.cfg should not be hand edited in any case [04:34] shall I do that now? [04:34] musikgoat: doesn't matter. [04:35] with saytime; i see: sox formats: no handler for given file type ossdsp ubuntu ... how do i fix? [04:35] Jordan_U: i really can't edit it,now [04:35] the baude.. nothing... the h-ware donated by the police dept for use in the schools.. and the hard disks wiped radically clean... [04:35] text files can be read as well as edited. [04:35] frybye, ahh [04:35] i was trying to install barpanel and i get thnis error unable to read filedescriptor flags for : Bad file descriptor [04:35] zonedfull1: Yes, then do the opposite, sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree. If that still doesn't work, purge it again and you can try downloading the deb installer from adobe's site. [04:35] boberdos:couldnt find the package [04:35] wzssyqa: you can't edit it because the write permission bit is off. [04:35] sebsebseb: is just the question of which settings to use whe making the partitions... [04:35] felixsulla: "SIOCSIFFLAGS: Resource temporarily unavailible" [04:35] omg,now,i can [04:35] zonedfull1: Are you using 64-bit Ubuntu? [04:36] wzssyqa: It has read only permission because you are supposed to edit the scripts that create the file, not the file itself ( you can edit the file manually if you really want but you shouldn't ) [04:36] frybye, maybe show your boss ubuntu [04:36] scunizi: frybe wants to use some kind of 2000 backup image with gparted [04:36] wzssyqa: that's because you're not supposed to edit that file directly. [04:36] no,i use sudo [04:36] so what? [04:36] zonedfull1: Also, if you go into System->Administration->Software Sources, are all the repos checked? [04:36] Jordan_U: but wont those edits be overwritten with update-grub? [04:36] sebsebseb: ah.. that's one of those things you say "good luck" too. [04:36] frybye- are you stuck behind a restrictive proxy? i might be able to help [04:36] scunizi: yes that's what I thought can't be done with gparted [04:37] musikgoat: Yes, which is why you should edit the scripts in /etc/grub.d/ instead [04:37] thanks everybody [04:37] Is there anywhere I can get more Compiz plugins or is what is there the only ones? [04:37] heh [04:37] frybye: Gparted is for standard partition stuff, not backups [04:37] frybye: not images of partition backups [04:37] hang on - I will put this ? on hold for the moment and send the boss a fax pointing out that win2000 is no longer supported by ms and see what he says...

How do I make it come up in the same spot every time? [04:49] search it [04:49] thier site [04:49] I should go to softtware sources and check the repos?

[04:56] Hey, when creating a .deb file, will the packages under "depends" autoinstall when they install my .deb? Or do they have to be under "pre-depends" to autoinstall? [04:57] Xgates: install dkms and then with the new kernel it may be updated correctly with the repo driver.. if not you'll have to revert back to the nv driver (generic) and then do the install for the newer driver from nvidia [04:57] bobertdos: cant see that tick...I can only see since I am from Norway download from server in Norway [04:57] Logomachist: are you using a stable or suported ubuntu¿ [04:58] 9.04, the latest stable version.

[05:26] Jordan_U: i seriously doubt that [05:26] zonedfull: Did you restart firefox? [05:26] maybe there is a truck stuck in your tubes === _ is now known as Guest68822 [05:27] OHHHHHH MAN YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSS sorry for shouting [05:27] Finally [05:27] Hey. [05:28] Is there a module that can make a v4l driver into a v4l2? [05:28] bobertdos Thank u so much...and jodan_U what can I say [05:28] THANK YOU [05:28] It working [05:28] Jordan_U: I have had multiple devices download at the same time.. but when using Transmission, it kills throughput on the network.. [05:29] WIGGMPk: Run wireshark on the computer running bittorrent and the others and see if there is anything interesting [05:29] something strange i just noticed... the testnet is not operating the same channel... [05:29] lstarnes: ok so */1 * * * * does it every minute :) thanks [05:29] dd [05:29] WIGGMPk: Bittorrent can use an absurd amount of streams [05:29] Jordan_U: I ran wireshark and etherape with nothing out of the ordinary going on [05:29] bobertdos: What can I say...Im speechless THANK YOU SO MUCH MAN [05:30] Jordan_U: I understand that, but capping the download/upload bandwidth should do exactly that.. [05:30] bobertdos: Im so Grateful [05:30] Anyone mind giving a Ubuntu newbie a hand? I'm trying to set up my wireless network, I installed the ndisgtk, accessed the program, but I cant seem to find my .inf file, or my Windows drive, for that matter. [05:30] WIGGMPk: Capping the bandwidth won't neccisarily reduce the number of streams [05:30] zonedfull: Oh yes, no problem. It's what we're here to do. [05:30] Jordan_U: Thank u so much for the support [05:30] I am going to import my Evolution addressbook to Thunderbird. Thunderbird's import wizard > Import Address Book has an line 'Record data to import=id". What does this 'id' (identifier) mean in Thunderbird's addressbook? [05:31] hi, I'm trying to figure out how to get kdevelop to work on ubuntu 9.04. I can't seem to find the dev packages for it - qtcore and qtgui headers, specifically. they aren't the logical libqtcore4-dev or libqtgui4-dev packages (whereas the same packages sans the -dev are available). what might I look at doing? [05:31] dividebyzero: First, most of the time ndiswrapper is not actually needed. What is the chipset of your wireless card? [05:31] zonedfull: np [05:31] Jordan_U: other than limiting the peers, there is no other settings in Transmission.. [05:31] Is there a nautilus bug that is keeping samba shares from showing up in my network? I can manually browse to them with the local ip but thats all. [05:31] does anyone here use an X300 thinkpad? [05:31] dividebyzero: if you can't find it then download it, be shure to use XP drivers [05:31] Caimlas_: Ubuntu uses no headers [05:31] pringles [05:31] Caimlas_: Only normal and dev packages [05:32] lstnares: sorry got lost site and pc were tempermental with eachother...http://paste.ubuntu.com/276765/ [05:32] Jordan_U: Not to mention, unless QoS is deployed on the network, it can detirmine some connections are stll local. in some rare cases... [05:32] Caimlas_: the -dev packages contain headers [05:32] Uh...lemme see. I ran the lspci command, but I can't find the chipset... [05:32] Hello - I have been having massive issues with Kubuntu (Resolution keeps resetting upon logout, tried all the online solutions without solving... [05:32] Lartza_, ok, I know/realize that. but the dev packages I mention do not appear to be in the repositories. [05:33] Caimlas_: they may have different names [05:33] dividebyzero: If you pastebin the output from lspci we can find the chipset [05:33] all I'm wondering is this: Will this problem 'go away' if I use Ubuntu? [05:33] Caimlas_: Let me see... [05:33] bobertdos: I can now remember how the issue was with the flash player ..but what was the problem with the Java how did we solve it do you remember, cause I think I got that problem also on an other PC with Ubuntu...to run the bank id applet with JAVA..Can u shortly describe me what is important to remember to get Java working fully [05:33] Lartza_, I'm using jaunty multiverse and universe [05:33] cms-affla: what is http://repo.moblin.org/moblin/releases/test/beta/images/moblin-netbook-ux-beta-20090518-004.img doing in there? [05:33] Caimlas_: do you know the name of the .h files that you are missing? [05:33] Alright, one sec... [05:33] cms-affla: it appears to be a disk image, not an apt repository [05:34] Khisanth, let me pastebin relevant info [05:35] Caimlas_: I see what you mean now... [05:35] hi there, i can sftp/ssh in between 2 machines. the only thing that i cannot do is to 'ping' in between two. what should i do to enable the ping? [05:35] bobertdos: The reason Im asking is cause I had to reboot my PC u remember and after that I lost where we solved that Java [05:35] Jordan_U: hang on, I got the link here. [05:35] Khisanth, I don't know what the header files are, but they're: #include #include #include [05:35] Lartza_, what's up with that? :P [05:35] Dammit, I'm new to IRC too apparently... [05:36] kennyyu: one of the machines might be blocking icmp echo requests [05:36] http://pastebin.com/m310994fa [05:36] I am having a resolution problem in KUBUNTU - if I just uninstall and do UBUNTU - should this problem in theory go away? [05:36] lstnares: it is a custom moblin dist upgrade to integrade moblin with ubuntu [05:36] Caimlas_: Have you tried installing libqt4-dev? That might have all the dev files [05:36] zonedfull: The most important thing to remember about pretty much all plugins in Linux is that multiple versions of the same plugin really butt heads -- they don't get along at all. So you always just want one version a plugin installed. With Java, the main problem was that there were broken pieces of both version 5 and 6 and they were causing conflicts. [05:36] lstarnes: yes. so 'sudo ufw enable icmp' suffices? [05:36] cms-affla: you cannot use a disk image in sources.list [05:36] Theres my pastebin. [05:36] lstnares: I had it but it broke and when updated the package it broke [05:36] kennyyu: I'm not sure [05:36] YEs.,... [05:36] Lartza_, that's installed already. :-/ [05:36] That was the issue.... [05:36] lstnares: it was working for updates, but so i should delete it? [05:37] kennyyu: I don't recall it being blocked by default, but I use iptables directly instead of using ufw [05:37] kennyyu: Ubuntu replys to icmp echo requests by default [05:37] bobertdos: What Java package shall be innstalled... [05:37] Caimlas_: Have you tried doing the thing you need it for? [05:37] cms-affla: if it's not an apt deb repository, you can't use it [05:37] Jordan_U: ya but i'm using the AMI instances provided by Amazon [05:37] Caimlas_: And it whines about it? [05:37] Lartza_, it does. [05:37] God, I'm such a newbie. [05:37] Caimlas_: libqt4-dev [05:38] lstnares; so it was a bug that made it work the first few times? [05:38] Khisanth: Doesn't work [05:38] cms-affla: it may have just ignored it [05:38] lstarnes: i'm pastebin'ing my iptable for you to have a look. do you mind it? ;) [05:38] umm this is odd I dont have add/remove anymore? [05:38] zonedfull: sun-java6-plugin (for firefox) which will bring sun-java6-jre with it as a dependency. [05:38] kennyyu: I'm not that good with iptables [05:38] you might want to reinstall that package then ... http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/i386/libqt4-dev/filelist [05:38] bobertdos: what did we version install...at the end... [05:38] Lartza_: and check your include paths :) [05:38] lstarnes: never mind ;) [05:38] kennyyu: the output from sudo iptables-save should be sufficient [05:38] Jordan_U, you're stil there? I finished fsck from Live Ubuntu, now when i reboot, it goes straight to BusyBox with a useless (to me) list of commands, pls help [05:38] lstnares: i had moblin, openbox, ubuntu, kubuntu, and freedos before it broke now it is just ubuntu [05:38] does anyone know if there going to keep doing ubuntu moblin remix [05:38] zonedfull: 6 [05:39] Khisanth: HE should check, not my problem :) [05:39] lstnares: lol now im confused as to how to restore the integrated desktop [05:39] oh right [05:39] getting mixed up [05:39] bobertdos: So the only java that should be needed for normal install is the Sun java6 plugin [05:39] funnyman: For some reason your root file system still can't be mounted [05:39] It happens [05:39] cms-affla: I don't know either [05:39] but those files are in the package ... [05:39] Jordan_U: http://pastebin.com/m310994fa, theres the pastebin. [05:39] larsig, Khisanth: apt-file search QTextEdit says it should be at /usr/include/qt4/QtGui/QTextEdit - and it is (libqt4-dev -is- installed). However, kdevelop is complaining. [05:39] Ubuntu does not detect USB storage devices after it's been running for a bit of time. It sees it in lsusb, but not block device is created/detected, and it's not showing up in fdisk. Anyone got any advice? [05:39] zonedfull: yes, because the rest of them will get installed automatically along side it [05:39] lstnares: thanks it works! [05:39] er, Lartza_ [05:40] so this is just kdevelop being stupid :) [05:40] Resolution issues in Kubuntu that I can't solve despite hours of trying - I'm wondering if, given the similarity, it's worth it to try Ubuntu and hope they go away - is this reasonable? [05:40] you'll probably want a kdevelop channel [05:40] Caimlas_: And check your includes [05:40] lstnares: hey btw is there a exchange server for ubuntu, like as to H.D. reg's [05:40] ...could anyone give me a hint about how to connect to another server? [05:40] lstarnes: http://paste.ubuntu.com/276768/ [05:40] Khisanth, so it would appear. :-/ dbg is saying there's no Makefile, and in my rush I missed that initially. :-/ I'd have expected automagic makeing :P [05:40] cms-affla: I don't knw [05:40] *know [05:41] cms-affla: I think that there are various mail servers for ubuntu [05:41] wow [05:41] and /usr/include/qt4 is probably NOT in your default include path unless you are using some sort of "create qt4 project" option in kdevelop [05:41] Jordan_U, i'm dead, right? [05:41] CONNECT irc.gimp.org [05:41] is my question, like, offensive or something? [05:42] .....crap, that didn't work [05:42] funnyman: Probably, boot from the liveCD and see if you can still mount the partition === spacepigeon is now known as Wolter [05:42] lstnares: I am hoping to compose a project for other than mail via the grouping of multi use source.. and hopefully either co-relay with iana or such if possible for dm reg and or the Inf tech Owners / reg of iana [05:43] Commissar_Mo: 6 people responding with "we don't know" is probably not useful going to be anymore useful :) [05:43] I agree, but usually 1 person at least says, 'no one here knows' otherwise I make the easy assumption that Linux people are just annoyed to be asked a simple question and ignore me... [05:44] but ok [05:44] does anyone here use an X300 thinkpad? [05:44] Commissar_Mo, did you install the nvidia driver and everything? [05:44] I am going to import my Evolution addressbook to Thunderbird. Thunderbird's import wizard > Import Address Book has an line 'Record data to import=id". What does this 'id' (identifier) mean in Thunderbird's addressbook? [05:44] Commissar please ask me the question? :) [05:44] I have onboard GPU, which is probably part of the issue, it's drivers are updated (2004!) [05:44] bobertdos: But when I f.example search in the synaptic after f.ex sun-java-plugin (for firefox) I get almost 50 packets of different things how can I now in the future what to innstall...shall I look after .bin file or what? [05:44] kennyyu: it looks like it's at least accepting some icmp messages [05:45] kennyyu: I forget the number assigned to echo [05:45] and you don't need to reinstall, you can just try it with the livecd [05:45] I'm having resolution issues in Kubuntu (it resets upon login) and after 12 hours, I don't really care to fix it anymore... I'm just wondering if a switch to Ubuntu will likely give me the same thing [05:45] seeing as the delta is mostly in the GUI part [05:45] actually you can just install gnome as well [05:46] Commissar_Mo, that sounds like an xorg.conf issue :o (Does ubuntu use xorg.conf anymore?) [05:46] given the particular problem switching between Ubuntu and Kubuntu is not likely to change anything [05:46] ahh [05:46] ok that's what I was wondering [05:46] zonedfull: the package is specifically named sun-java6-plugin. I recommend using sudo apt-get install sun-java6-plugin. [05:46] Pulledteeth: yes ... at least 9.04 still does [05:46] dividebyzero: If you run "iwlist scan" do you see a "wlan0" ? [05:47] Pulledteeth: Ubuntu doesn't need an xorg.conf any more but it still honors one if it's there [05:47] Commissar_Mo: it also looks like a solvable problem :) [05:47] Commissar it almost but not sure that it might be a screen saver issue in which that would be the only logical time issue for any resolution problem. [05:47] http://img32.imageshack.us/img32/9853/pantallazoth.jpg [05:47] ok... well i need to get back to work... Good Night/Day to you all. [05:47] either something is not writing a file it should be or something is writing a file it shouldn't be ... [05:47] most of the online help seems to revolve around editing a resolution preferences file, but I've failed so far to get their solns to work [05:47] Hello, I have a WinFast DTV 2000 H, and require assistance configuring it. ;) [05:48] lstarnes: it's 8... http://www.networksorcery.com/enp/protocol/icmp/msg8.htm [05:48] bobertdos: What can happen if someone f.ex in synaptic takes the wrong one f.ex the sun-java6-plugn.bin file [05:49] bobertdos: And try to install that one..will it still be innstalled [05:49] Commissar_Mo: didn't see above.. are you dealing with HP mininote 2133? [05:49] no, it's Averatec, onboard GPU [05:50] 2004 driver, latest :( [05:50] zonedfull It probably would, but that's why I like using the terminal, so it's easier to use specific package names. [05:50] ah. I had problems with drivers and xorg.conf in my mininote until recently, when I installed Ubuntu 9.04 and it more or less just magically fixed everything [05:50] funnyman: Have you tried mounting from the liveCD again yet? [05:51] really... ok I've been debating such a move - I might try Ubuntu then - thank you [05:51] Jordan_U: i can list the files in the partitions now ;) [05:51] Jordan_U: i'm trying to reboot again... [05:52] funnyman: Write down the error message just before the busybox shell if it fails again [05:52] it is probably just that Ubuntu 9.04 and my drivers matched up right, for my specific laptop. not sure how Kubuntu differs from Ubuntu in the driver department... [05:52] ok [05:53] Ubuntu does not detect USB storage devices after it's been running for a bit of time. It sees it in lsusb, but not block device is created/detected, and it's not showing up in fdisk. (If I restart, it all works again. dmesg says something about assigning an adress 7 to my thumb drive. But I only have 4 ports.) Anyone got any advice? [05:53] I have a cheapy logetek webcam how do I get it to work on ubuntu and skype? [05:53] bobertdos: Ok last question is usually all packages that shall be installed in Ubuntu ended with "plugin"? [05:54] Jordan_U: no error messages, the loading Ubuntu image (running left-right) appeared and then it jumped right away to the BusyBox [05:54] Commissar have you done a: top command to see what functions are running when this change happens? [05:54] Pulledteeth: Can you check if udev is still running when you have this problem ?( sudo invoke-rc.d udev status ) [05:54] so i have a wg511t wireless card and i cant connect to any networks, no networks even show up. What can I do about this? [05:55] Jordan_U, invoke-rc.d: initscript udev, action "status" failed. [05:55] I get SIOCSIFADDR: No such device if i do dhclient ath0 [05:55] I don't know what that is... [05:55] zonedfull: Eh, not really. In terms of the community and multiverse packages, there aren't many naming conventions. I sometimes think it would be easier if there were naming conventions, but there are not. [05:55] is there a reason as to why everything goes to 2.6.28.10 if I'm running 2.6.28-15-generic? when I install modules it goes to 2.6.28.10 [05:55] I have a cheapy logetek webcam how do I get it to work on ubuntu and skype? [05:55] Look up the command prompt < top > and watch when the command of the program changes. [05:56] funnyman: Ok, can you pastebin the output from "blkid" and the contents of your menu.lst? [05:56] ok thanks [05:56] bobertdos: Ok Thanks a lot...I learned a bit today of this... [05:56] anyone know what i can do? [05:56] Pulledteeth: Try "pgrep udev" if it returns a number then udev is running [05:56] bobertdos: Im grateful [05:56] BYE ALL [05:56] yep, s'running. [05:56] I have a cheapy logetek webcam how do I get it to work on ubuntu and skype? [05:56] hm, does Ubuntu have a way to modify the screen-unlocking password? or is it invariably the user's password? [05:56] Jordan_U, yep s'running [05:56] And see ya....and by the way here you get exellent supprt [05:57] bye [05:57] ? [05:57] I tend to dislike typing passwords in public as much as possible :) [05:57] zonedfull: bye\ [05:57] Pulledteeth: And are usb drives currently being mounted ? [05:57] I couldn't find anything in gconf about it [05:57] Gracenotes: When you say screen-unlocking, do you mean GNU screen or the GUI thing? [05:57] Jordan_U, not currently, no. [05:57] Gracenotes: Ah. [05:57] Gracenotes, [05:57] yes, I have my laptop configured so that when I close the lid, it does into screen-lock mode [05:57] Root has absolute access to passwords. [05:57] goes [05:58] is there a python-wannbe channel? [05:58] If you are in a SHELL ACCOUNT then the user is the one who can change the password, but the Administrator has and can change the password. [05:59] Curly_Q: in most systems, passwords are encrypted and only the encrypted form is stored [05:59] Curly_Q: it's often a one-way hash [05:59] Curly_Q: Gracenotes is asking about the password used to unlock the screen can be different from the one used to log in. [05:59] I am fine with my account's password, which I set. I am fine with the root password, which I also set. It would be nice if there were a way to set a screen unlock password separate from either of those, whereas the default behavior doesn't seem to have this [06:00] True, but, but that can be thwarted with some software with Linux and decrypt those 128 bit passwords. [06:00] Pulledteeth: Try "sudo invoke-rc.d udev refresh-devices" and if that doesn't work "sudo invoke-rc.d udev restart" ( might make you lose network connection ) [06:01] Gracenotes: At worst you could use another screen-locking program. [06:02] Shachaf, it all depends upon the software being used. If the password for a user account is different from the screensaver password, it look as if this person wants a hack to get into the system and I personally say not a chance. [06:02] hm. true. it would need to be hooked into gnome somehow [06:02] need some help...fresh install of xubuntu 9.04, did sudo apt-get install mozilla-mplayer [06:02] Jordan_U, nope. Did screw up my battery widget though :o [06:02] so i can watch the trailers at apple.com...click a trailer and firefox crashes [06:02] Gracenotes: ...He's asking if *he* can change the password used for unlocking the screensaver. [06:02] is mozilla-mplayer not the right way to view quicktime content? [06:02] s/Gracenotes/Curly_Q/ [06:03] Jordan_U: http://pastebin.org/22948 i can't find menu.lst [06:03] Gracenotes: Well, I've used xlock for a simpler locking program, in the past. [06:03] There is no way to unlock a password if you don't have the original password. [06:03] particularly, the lid-close trigger [06:03] Curly_Q: That's not what he's asking. [06:04] Curly_Q: He *knows* his user password. For security (or whatever) reasons, he wants to use a different password to unlock the screensaver. [06:04] Jordan_U, yeah; no dice. [06:04] I should be clear, every in this computer is under my data jurisdiction (lol haruhi). no one else uses it. I'd like to diversify the passwords I use, i.e. use less sensitive ones in common public situations, like unlocking screens [06:04] everything [06:04] Gracenotes: Do you never log in in public? [06:05] I do, with less frequency than the other [06:05] Gracenotes: I'd think that it would make sense for both to be the same. After all, they can both be used if you leave your computer unattended. [06:05] Then he needs to go into ROOT access and over-ride the original password for the screen saver or just delete the program and re-install it and change the password. [06:05] funnyman: It's on /dev/sda7 [06:05] it would just be nice if it were easily possible, I would certainly do it. [06:06] Curly_Q: OK, he's asking if that's possible. [06:06] Since it doesn't seem to be easily possible, at least. [06:06] I remember from Window 98 days, there was a separate screensaver password. I'm not sure if that feature is still around in windows... I think they just go straight to the login screen [06:06] Yes!!! it is possible if he has root access. [06:06] Curly_Q: OK, explain, then. :-) [06:07] please don't enable root access just for having a different screensaver password [06:07] it's even worse security [06:07] I don't need to explain. If one has root access, then, that is explanation enough. [06:07] Hi just installed a ubuntu 9.04 desktop i386 when I boot I get "GRUB " printed on my screen over and over again any ideas. tried reinstalling grub twice now no change? [06:08] Myrtti: That's not what he's asking! [06:08] Sigh... [06:08] Myrtti: He has one password for root, another password for his user, and he wants a *third* password for unlocking the screensaver. [06:08] from a technical point of view, it would work, but would go against the original motivation of doing it in the first place ;) [06:08] right, so good luck with that root password. *walks away* [06:09] Myrtti: Huh? [06:09] !noroot [06:09] We do not support having a root password set. See !root and !wfm for more information. [06:09] !rootsudo [06:09] sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) [06:09] Jordan_U: http://pastebin.org/22954 [06:09] Myrtti: OK, don't support it. [06:09] You cannot change a password in any OS or any network or any system or any anything without knowing what the processes that were initialized in the first place. [06:09] Gracenotes: You might be able to do it by running gnome-screensaver as a different user [06:09] Jordan_U: that's my menu.lst [06:09] Myrtti: It has nothing to do with the problem at hand. [06:09] with regard to the alternative screen saver password, i imagine the benefit is to keep an onlooker from acquiring the password visually [06:09] thank you for those.. uh.. completely irrelevant factoids [06:10] xorwhy: Yes! [06:10] i think its a good idea, my solution to the onlooker problem is to have a separate xmodmap file for the login page, only I know what the corresponding characters are [06:10] Gracenotes: I apologize if I'm acting a bit too much as a spokesperson. [06:10] Jordan_U: Any sunshine, pls don't tell me no [06:10] Jordan_U: hm, would that require typing in the other user's password first, in order to run gnome-screensaver? [06:11] xorwhy: What, you actually use a different keyboard layout? === Niko_ is now known as Guest75321 [06:11] In any case, if a person changes the password on anything without reading the manual on the HOWTO then no one can help them. [06:11] shacha, for gdm yes, and it is not a known map, its a pretty useful map for anything else im sure [06:11] useless [06:11] Gracenotes: Yes, but only once ( though I have never tried this myself and don't know if running gnome-screensaver as a different user would even work ) [06:12] I would like to have a different password for gdm login, selected randomly, with an indicator on the gdm wallpaper of which password it is [06:13] funnyman: Try booting into "recovery mode" and look for an error about mounting root file system before the busybox shell comes up [06:13] okie [06:13] In fact, I am willing to bet that this folk did not write down on paper the password and just plain forgot it. [06:14] when i do "aptitude install vlc" I get this: The following packages will be REMOVED: [06:14] binfmt-support{u} bsd-mailx{u} dctrl-tools{u} debhelper{u} debootstrap{u} [06:14] devscripts{u} dh-make{u} diffstat{u} dput{u} fakeroot{u} gettext{u} [06:14] html2text{u} intltool-debian{u} libapr1{u} libaprutil1{u} [06:14] libauthen-sasl-perl{u} libdevel-symdump-perl{u} libio-pty-perl{u} [06:14] ryguy: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:14] libio-stringy-perl{u} libipc-run-perl{u} libmail-sendmail-perl{u} [06:14] xorwhy: heh, what would be neat [06:14] or some absurdly complicated cipher [06:15] omg that was supposed to be on one line sorry guys [06:15] but what I was gettin at is are any of those important [06:15] ryguy: For whom? [06:15] ryguy: you are getting all your software from the main ubuntu server, right? [06:15] ryguy: I wouldn't want to uninstall those, at least. :-) [06:15] What to do in this case is to find the file that has the password and delete it from root. Then open up the software and enter a new password. [06:16] gracenotes: yeah, shacaf: all I want to do is install vlc [06:16] I've tried using alternate software sources before. it turned into a huge effing mess :( [06:16] ryguy: I have both fakeroot and vlc installed at the same time, though, so something is wrong. [06:16] how do i update firefox [06:16] fresh install 9.04 desktop i386, when it boots gets to where the grub menu should appear but the screen is filled with "GRUB " over and and over again? any ideas on a fix [06:16] It is best done from ROOT. [06:16] shachaf, should I just try to install it from source? or what? [06:17] Rosey: there are different packages for firefox-3.0 and firefox-3.5 [06:17] Sakara: Google says http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/grub-error-guide.xml [06:17] ryguy: Um, which package exactly does it conflict with [06:17] ? [06:17] someone there with some experince on drbd? [06:17] shachaf: I'm not sure, all I know is that it has that huge list of what will be removed [06:18] !shiretoko | rosey [06:18] rosey: FF3.5 is referred to as Shiretoko on your UI, see http://is.gd/1reB3 for an explanation [06:18] can anyone recommend a good backup guide? [06:18] shachaf: for the most partim just running a basic xubuntu setup [06:18] omg can anyone help me...all i wanted to do was watch some trailers at apple.com [06:18] and its turned into a 2 hour trek [06:18] Jyxt: url ? [06:18] does sendmail cache outgoing messages if the internet connection isn't available? [06:19] Edulacomadreja check this out: http://www.drbd.org/ [06:19] Jyxt: The journey is the most important part of the Linux experience :) [06:19] ryguy: What does vlc conflict with? It looks like it's just vlc-nox to me. [06:19] I have a single hdd in my laptop, I would like to be able to simply create an image of the disk and archive it on a (much larger) external hdd [06:19] thanks shachaf [06:19] running xubuntu 9.04 firefox 3.0...ive tried totem plugins, gstreamer, mplayer...none of them work, closest ive gotten is the mplayer plugin [06:19] will look into the bios issue [06:19] least its *trying* to load now [06:19] timClicks: easy by dd [06:19] DasEi: apple.com/trailers/ [06:19] none of them work [06:19] and also have cron backup my /home/ partition periodically [06:19] hey [06:19] need some advise here [06:19] butts [06:19] DasEi: danke, will have a look [06:19] whoops [06:19] bad script [06:20] now im at the point where firefox at least knows it has the right plugin...and i get a stuttered stop/play for about 30 seconds then it just stops [06:20] cannot access my grub/menu.lst file [06:20] is there a way to pipe grep to lspci to have lspci show only pattern matching devices? [06:20] no video, no sound, nothing [06:20] this was *SO* much easier to figure out in gentoo [06:20] xorwhy: lspci | grep foo [06:20] thank you musikgoat [06:20] Jordan_U: it prints a whole lot of lines, which i can't go to the first because it was truncated. Anywya, a few meaning full messages i can see are: "sda:<4> Driver 'sr' needs updaing - please use bus_type methods" . 2. "ext3-fs mounted file sytem with ordered datamode." and ... the last line is "target filesystem doesn't have /sbin/init" [06:20] shachaf: i did apt-get install and it's telling me this: The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required: debootstrap fakeroot python-pyinotify diffstat libmono0 debhelper intltool-debian postfix patchutils libapr1 po-debconf subversion libpod-coverage-perl libmail-sendmail-perl libsvn1 libdevel-symdump-perl gettext libio-stringy-perl devscripts libipc-run-perl dctrl-tools libauthen-sasl-perl dput libparse-deb [06:20] control-perl libio-pty-perl libpq5 bsd-mailx html2text pbuilder binfmt-support dh-make lintian libaprutil1 libtest-pod-perl libterm-size-perl libsys-hostname-long-perl [06:21] timClicks: sudo like dd if=/dev/sXX(yourlappi) of=/dev/sXX(your external), can find the devs by sudo fdisk -l [06:21] ryguy: Yes, you said that. It doesn't say very much... [06:21] ryguy: Does `apt-cache show vlc` say it conflicts with something? [06:21] funnyman: Ok, that means that the reason it won't boot is because of files lost [06:21] It doesnt say anything thing about conflicts, it just says Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them. [06:21] ryguy: that just means you can uninstall them with apt-get autoclean [06:21] funnyman: Back up your own important data and reinstall :( [06:21] yah done fdisk -l [06:22] Oh! I misread. [06:22] Jordan_U: :( [06:22] ryguy: did you want those packages? [06:22] funnyman: Also check that the disk is not bad, don't want to re-install just for it to happen again [06:22] DasEi: looks good [06:22] shachaf: Conflicts: vlc-nox (<< 0.9.2-1) [06:22] DasEi: thanks [06:22] musikgoat: I dunno what those packages are lol [06:22] ryguy: It means exactly what it says. [06:23] help cant access my grub menu.lst [06:23] so I should uninstall vlc-nox? [06:23] ryguy: Those "packages were automatically installed and are no longer required". [06:23] ryguy: No, it's not installed. [06:23] ryguy: those are mostly helper packages that make software work with other software [06:23] Jordan_U: okay, thanks a lot for your patient help. I think i should go now [06:23] ryguy: You'll get that message no matter what you install. [06:23] funnyman: np [06:23] this is the only thing that has given me that message though [06:23] timClicks: best is to define an own partition on the big hd, to not loose the remaining space , same size or little bigger then the internal [06:23] thanks how about itunes. i tried to use win but it fails... [06:24] a [06:24] i ge to here: sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/sda5 /mnt [06:24] Jyxt: What plugin did you use in Gentoo? [06:24] then i type in :gksudo gedit /mnt/boot/grub/menu.lst [06:24] and i get an empty file... [06:25] jimbeam12: are you running karmic? [06:25] jimbeam12: Maybe that file is empty, then? [06:25] Jordan_U: gecko...replacement for mplayer [06:25] its saying drive already mounted [06:25] no juanty [06:25] quicktime plays fine on the gentoo laptop, but the fresh ubuntu desktop has been giving me hell [06:25] jauntuy [06:25] jimbeam12, you try to mount an already mounted partition [06:26] Jyxt: Have you tried that in Ubuntu? [06:26] first thing i did was try the gecko plugin [06:26] Jyxt: sorry if you've mentioned it, but have you checked into ubuntu-restricted-extras package? [06:26] so how do i do it then blackfate [06:26] jimbeam12, mount | grep /dev/sda5 [06:26] what would a command be to remove any file from a directory that does not end in .mp3, including the folders those files were in? [06:26] jimbeam12, do this and give the output [06:26] if the command lspci -k is entered, and a properly detected device is listed without a driver, does that mean the device has no driver? [06:27] musikgoat: yes [06:27] Jyxt:could that be shockwave ? [06:27] !shockwave [06:27] ok done blackfate [06:27] Shockwave is currently only available for Windows. To run it under !Wine, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Shockwave [06:27] how do I share internet? Getting internet from wifi and will share on wired LAN? [06:27] jimbeam12, give me the output [06:27] DasEi: shockwave at an apple site? no its definatly quicktime [06:27] DasEi: i would think its quicktime [06:28] Jyxt: fast workaround : use a plugin and dowload it to hd , then watch [06:28] Jordan_U: mplayer plugins crash firefox, gecko plugins stutter on load, then stop after 30 seconds...no vide/audio etc and the totem plugins dont even work [06:28] mint: In System > Preferences > Networking Add a new profile for the wired connection called "Share Internet" ( or whatever you want ) and in the ipv4 settings choose "Shared" [06:28] /dev/sda5 on /mnt type ext3 (rw [06:28] Jyxt, for the trailers? [06:28] /dev/sda5 on /mnt type ext3 (rw) [06:28] BlackFate: yes [06:28] here blackfate [06:29] Jyxt, listen up [06:29] mint: consider a proxy like squid for web or figure out netcat [06:29] Jyxt, apple made some changes and only with quicktime they will play... [06:29] Jyxt, in order to play em with gecko [06:29] Jyxt, musikgoat my ff plays other quicktime fine, but at there I just get an empty black window [06:29] Jyxt, install useragent changer plugin for firefox [06:29] Jyxt, and change yout useragent to Quicktime... google it [06:30] blackfate thanks, will try it [06:30] jimbeam12, cd /mnt/boot [06:30] jimbeam12, is it empty? [06:30] hello [06:30] What's a good FTP client [06:31] no its not blackfate [06:31] Rosey: ftp [06:31] hello [06:31] oh snap theres already on here [06:31] lol [06:31] thanks [06:31] Rosey: you're welcome! [06:31] thxs blackfate [06:32] Rosey: if you want to ftp via nautilus, go to file -> connect to server [06:32] Jyxt: Apple's website is doing something really strange, when I wget http://movies.apple.com/movies/universal/couplesretreat/couplesretreat-clip_h320.mov it's an html file named index.html [06:33] Jordan_U: its a new quicktime transport stream, as far as i understand [06:33] I think my hot-swapp is messed up. I can't just plug in a USB thumb drive and have it detected. (It's detected by lsusb, but not fdisk.) [06:33] Jordan_U, you got to change your useragent [06:34] Sorry I'm completely new to Linux lol [06:34] Jordan_U, try this wget -U QuickTime/7.6.2 http://movies.apple.com/movies/universal/couplesretreat/couplesretreat-clip_h320.mov [06:34] BlackFate: To what, apparently it needs to be changed in the browser plugin as well [06:34] Jordan_U, try it [06:34] can anyone help with a nasty segfault in apt tools under intrepid? [06:35] ... error 5 in libapt-pkg-libc6.8-6.so.4.6.0 [06:35] BlackFate: That does it [06:35] either apt-get or aptitude produces the same results. [06:36] anyone? [06:36] say I nee to install the latest Nvidia x64 185 driver when I run the installer it says: The compiler used to compile the kernel (gcc-4.2) does not exactly match the current compiler (gcc-4.2), I ran the installer before and the driver worked fine, I wonder if this will break anything, but I don't see gcc-4.2 in synaptic for me to install [06:36] Jyxt: Not exactly convienient but you can play trailers by downloading them with wget and a quicktime user agent then play them in mplayer / vlc / whatever [06:36] I nee/need.... [06:37] errr my bad it says ---> does not exactly match the current compiler (gcc-4.3).... [06:37] hey blackfate === Guest36071 is now known as roe_ [06:38] cheers for that [06:38] is there a reason as to why my module install always uses 2.6.28.10 as the dir instead of 2.6.28.15-generic? [06:38] jimbeam12, np === dean is now known as Guest54538 [06:38] xgates: did you export the correct gcc? [06:38] Mint use either a HUB, or ROUTER. [06:38] ubu_nub: sorry what ya mean export? [06:39] all started blackfate when i was craping around with adding a splash image on ubuntu bootloader [06:39] xgates: do you have gcc 4.3 installed? [06:39] jimbeam12, i c... i used to have same prob [06:39] ubu_nub: I have whatever Ubuntu installs by default [06:39] I believe that's 4.3 [06:39] export CC=gcc-4.3 [06:39] is theire a solution to that blackfate.. [06:40] well [06:40] Curly_Q: i know i can do that but i'm in another room and this is my option since i have no cabling and i can't connect the wifi router to another wifi router [06:40] ubu_nub: I made a typo before it says ---> The compiler used to compile the kernel (gcc-4.2) does not exactly match the current compiler (gcc-4.3).... [06:40] Mint what exactly do you want to accomplish? [06:40] i mean startup manager screws everything when i try that [06:40] try rebuilding menu.lst [06:40] rebuilding ?? how [06:40] xgates there is probably a better way but try: dpkg -S gcc [06:40] Mint there are plenty of wireless routers. [06:40] u mean from scratch .. [06:41] ubu_nub: so still run export? [06:41] k [06:41] if you have 4.3 already use that export command. if not install it. [06:41] BlackFate: thanks, that helped...most specifically this link http://www.linuxformat.co.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?p=77131 [06:41] i mean i really like this operating system [06:41] last post gives the details about the useragent to use [06:41] Mint you can connect any router to any other router. It is all about setting the internal permissions settings. [06:42] Curly_Q: wirelessly? [06:42] Could somebody please point me towards a good, recent guide to samba security for a lan-facing only file/print server? [06:42] Of course. [06:42] Jyxt, yeah.. this useragent firefox plugin does the trick [06:42] Mint what brand of router are you using? [06:43] anyone know how to use splash on startup without any problems.. [06:43] Curly_Q: netgear for the guest router... linksys for the host router [06:43] is there a reason as to why my module install always uses 2.6.28.10 as the dir instead of 2.6.28.15-generic? === Techie1 is now known as Techie [06:44] ubu_nub: dpkg -S gcc shows all the beginning lines as gcc-4.3 [06:44] Mint, the term ROUTER is exactly what it says: "ROUTING" which means that it just takes packets of data and routs it from a SOURCE to a DESTINATION. [06:45] ubu_nub: why are we concentrating on gcc-4.3, it says the kernel was compiled with 4.2, so I thought I need to have 4.2 installed for the Nvidia drivers? [06:45] How do I install iTunes, if not what is the alternative? [06:45] Rosey: There's that thing, I don't remember what it's called. Look in the menu. [06:45] I killed gnome-panel to refresh it, and I've lost all the icons on my desktop - how do I get them back? (I've restarted gnome-panel) [06:45] Rosey: (Huh, that may have appeared sarcastic? That was not the intent. I don't run GNOME, so I don't remember.) [06:45] xgates: doh. is there a gcc-4.2 available? [06:45] No you're fine, lol [06:46] Rosey: There is no way to access the itunes music store in linux but with a virtual machine running windows, there are many good media players though [06:46] Rosey: I think shachaf is referring to synaptic package manager [06:46] Curly_Q: yes, I meant Linksys will supply the internetl, netgear will be the one to connect to it wirelessly so it can reroute the internet signal [06:46] powertool08: No, the music player. [06:46] I didn't see any in synaptic but if I want to install it, would I run ---> apt-get gcc-4.2 install? maybe from the cli will work? [06:46] so how do i get started?] [06:47] I installed vsftpd on ubuntu. When I login the ftp from a remote folder, every file and dir's name looks like "moth year real_file name" [06:47] What wrong with that? [06:47] shachaf: Oh, sorry :) [06:47] Xgates: apt-cache search gcc-4.2 [06:47] Rosey: What are you trying to do? Play music, buy music, use an iPod? [06:47] hi =) can anyone tell me how I get rid of a previous mdadm configuration so that I get a fresh auto-detect of my raid? I have put in a boot disk from when I had 2 disks in the array, now I have 3 so they dont match. On a fresh install / rescue disc boot I can mount the raid just fine but on this old boot disk I it complains [06:47] k [06:47] * shachaf suspects he was thinking of Rhythmbox. [06:47] Mostly just upload to my iPod Touch [06:47] not to play music [06:48] Mint, ONLY ONE router can be the ACCESS POINT if you want to set up what I think you want. That may be your problem. You cannot have both routers as the access point. [06:48] !ipod | Rosey [06:48] Rosey: For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto - For the iPhone and the iPod Touch, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone - See !RockBox for information on liberating your iPod [06:49] Thank you [06:49] Rosey: np [06:49] If you do have both routers as the access point then you need to assign them both different IP addresses. [06:49] Curly_Q: so that's it, thought your suggesting i can do that wirelessly. Anyway that's why i'm asking help to share internet [06:50] is there any way to alias hosts on your machine for ssh? Some kind of overriding DNS? eg. so that ssh myserver would replace myserver with the IP? [06:50] Curly_Q: yes i'm aware of that IP thing [06:50] using JJ, when i unplug my laptop, the power profile does not switch to POWERSAVE. WHY NOT? [06:50] Sure, anything you can do with cable and RJ45 cabling and that stuff you can do with wireless. [06:51] ¾È³çÇϼ¼¿ä ^^ [06:52] hhmmm... ok let me try if i can do that [06:52] what is the equivalent to task manager on this [06:52] Rosey: System > Administration > System Monitor [06:54] thank you [06:54] Searching for splash image ... none found, skipping ?? [06:54] Speaking of TASK MANAGER, try looking up a GOOGLE on: SECURITY TASK MANAGER <--------------< Cool program for Windows. [06:54] is there a reason as to why my module install always uses 2.6.28.10 as the dir instead of 2.6.28.15-generic?

"blah" instead of "blah.host.com" works. On Ubuntu, the host cannot be resolved using the same VPN configuration - can anyone tell me why? [06:56] a splash image is not really important. it just makes grub look pretty. i use the dark windows/penguin logo one from gnome-look.org [06:56] Stwange check the permissions. [06:56] And firewall settings or port settings. [06:57] hello, how do i get my lamp setup to load my css and js files? [06:58] Curly_Q, the VPN is being run as sudo, and it connects fine (eg. blah.host.com works but wouldn't without the VPN) [06:58] CoolCourt, try looking up LYNDA on Google for Cascading Style Sheets. [06:58] coolcourt, css and js are client-side [06:58] well i understand how to use them, but when i go to localhost/site [06:59] they dont load, i was thinking theres a terminal command or something to a conf file or something [06:59] Check your PORT SETTINGS Stwange. [07:00] coolcourt, you must not be setting the correct URL in your HTML [07:00] ubu_nub: export didn't help but I figured out to run the installer like this ---> export CC=gcc-4.3 ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-177.82-pkg1.run [07:00] well i installed cakephp on my ubuntu install and when i go to the installation its just white and black the css isnt loading [07:01] i thought it was something common and took a few edits to fix [07:01] Hello there, I need assistance with Ubuntu set up as a gateway and also serving as pptp server. If I flush all my iptables, I can connect successfully to the LAN, but with my iptables enabled, I can connect to pptp sucessfully but no access to LAN. Any ideas or pointers anyone? [07:02] coolcourt, ah i havent used cakephp in a while. i believe you need to place the js files in /cake/app/www/js (same structure for css) and just link them in your views by localhost/js (localhost/css) [07:02] coolcourt, join #cakephp [07:03] yea i went into their channel rigt now thanks [07:03] Curly_Q, can you be more details please? (or, more walkthroughy :) [07:03] they should help you better with that because cakephp has .htaccess files which mess with URL structure [07:03] RayNob check this out: http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/PPTP_Server_Configuration [07:03] Xgates: nice. did it give any errors about symbolic links?

[07:04] ryguy: maybe isntall iftop and see whats going on? .. [07:05] no errors [07:06] Stwange, the VPN or Virtual Private Network is working as you say. Read more on the subject and you will find that there is a permissions problem or a PORT problem.

[07:06] ooo iftop, i forgot about that tool :p [07:07] Please don't I have too many people that want me to tell them things. [07:07] anyone have a clue? [07:07] ryguy: aptitude install iftop ? [07:07] either way, how do i figure out whats downloading all this data... its runnin up my cpu usage [07:07] lol Curly_Q [07:07] splash image do not update [07:07] how do I link it [07:08] Greets to EWP. [07:08] jimbeam12, what's the problem? [07:08] hello ewp [07:08] jimbeam12, trying to get your splashimage.xpm.gz to load in grub? [07:08] yes that right and it wont do it [07:08] i get this as follows [07:08] aite, hold up let me look at my settings here :p [07:08] how do I link it [07:09] ubu_nub: k i got iftop but I still get bash: 'isntall: command not found' [07:09] searching for splash image ... none found, skipping ... [07:09] jimbeam12, actually you could use startupmanager to load it [07:09] how? [07:09] ryguy: sudo iftop [07:09] can you link me to something Curly_Q? I don't see why a port problem would cause problems if the vpn is connecting and the FQDNs are being resolved - surely it's an issue with my local DNS lookup not updating or something [07:09] Curly - I'm pretty sure that the problem is related to my iptables. There's something that I'm not allowing. Do you have any pointers on how to get blockings logged perhaps. Maybe then I should I should be able to figure out what I'm missing. [07:09] jimbeam12, the file of your splashimage must be in /boot/grub, or atleast on your /boot partition [07:10] ubu_nub: alright, it seems to be coming from fa.46.1343.static.theplan [07:10] ubu_nub: I have no idea what that is [07:10] yes ive dont that ewp [07:10] there are all in in there [07:10] they just dont update [07:10] Hello.

[07:36] jdv hang on [07:36] I am curious, is there any Linux graphics besides the following website: http://www.linfo.org/software_artists.html <--------< Has anyone used any of these programs? [07:36] i'm in the process of installing Version 9.10 does anyone think this is NOT a good idea? [07:37] I got the filesystem does not have init error [07:37] well the equinox was just 2 days ago [07:37] jdv try this: http://pkill-9.com/wordpress/?p=9 [07:37] so I used live cd to get in and now trying to update udev [07:37] but I cant mount my main drive it says possible bad block or wrong fs type [07:37] kryptos: depends how much stability you're after. 8.04 LTS is probably the most stable release available... [07:37] jdv ahhhhhhh bad blocks!!! old hard drive [07:37] :( [07:38] !badblocks [07:38] Sorry, I don't know anything about badblocks [07:38] jdv, man badblocks [07:38] jdv: can you fsck the partition? [07:38] JDV to answer any questions about your problem, you need to explain and tell what you are using for hardware. [07:38] im not sure how from this situation [07:38] infact im not even sure which device is my main drive since two possible devices are giving me the same error from mount [07:39] jdv, you'll have to boot into a livecd [07:39] jdv what file type are you using? [07:39] im in a live cd. I am 99% sure I am ext2 [07:39] Kingtiger01: still around ? [07:39] but when I try both ext2 and ext3 it gives same error.

[07:39] jdv: please run sudo fdisk -l (lower case L) and pastebin the output (FDISK, not FSCK !!) [07:39] guess what..the freaking thinkg stuff up on me..lol [07:40] iam on my laptop right now [07:40] heh ok [07:40] JDV are you running a SCSI RAID device? I know the answer. [07:40] yea [07:40] but no raid setup [07:40] I have an sftp connection and can browse a server in nautilus. When I open a file in gedit it seems to work flawlessly. However, if I open it with gvim nothing seems to happen. Could someone help me out with this? [07:40] I removed it [07:40] ive tried this before ..how to retriece the menu.lst file with no luck [07:40] startup manager sucks...lol [07:41] So you are running SCSI?

[07:42] i just messed up status and others in /var/lib/dpkg, how to correct?? [07:42] just one amd [07:42] jimbeam12, well my splashimage file is located in /boot/grub/splashimages and here's a copy of my menu.lst. other than that idk what to tell ya :-P http://paste.ubuntu.com/276822/ [07:42] OK. [07:42] sudo fdisk -l shows my / devide is /dev/sdb2 [07:42] jimbeam12, yes startupmanager does suck but i use it for quick editing [07:42] You said SCSI but no RAID? [07:43] well I had raid when under windows but when I replaced with ubuntu the raid caused install problems so I used the dell utility to remove the raid which fixed it and I never setup it again [07:43] can anyone post output of /var/lib/available and /var/lib/status, i deleted it........... [07:43] how to recover those?? [07:44] dell utility is some sort of rom memory thing. [07:44] I can do that abhila -- what's the pastbin url? [07:44] JDV did you totally delete the HARD DRIVE of all DATA and have you done a: /MBR [07:45] !paste | Bluey [07:45] Bluey: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com (or !pastebinit for CLI) | For pasting !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin Please give us the URLs for your posts! [07:45] my ubuntu was working fine for months since my meddling with raid [07:45] I am going to import my Evolution addressbook to Thunderbird. Thunderbird's import wizard > Import Address Book has an line 'Record data to import=id". What does this 'id' (identifier) mean in Thunderbird's addressbook? [07:45] Actually the command is /fdisk MBR [07:45] should I run that? [07:46] Don't do that command unless you know what you are doing!!!!!!!! [07:46] lol [07:46] I dont so I didnt. [07:46] Good. [07:46] Kingtiger01: still around ? [07:46] I am teaching you a lesson here. [07:46] abhila - I have no /var/lib/available or /var/lib/status [07:46] appreciate it.. so how can I mount my fs ? [07:46] Bluey: /var/lib/dpkg/ [07:47] It is possible that your Master Boot Record is Corrupted. [07:47] I used SGD to correct it [07:47] wow that a lot of stuph [07:47] How many Operating Systems do you have on your drive in question? [07:48] which succeeded.. or so it said, but I get the error http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-223773.html [07:48] i ran out of space on /home, how do i increase its file size? [07:48] just ubuntu 8.1 and 9.1 [07:48] dont know why ubuntu 8 is still there but it stayed with 5gb partition after upgrade to jaunty [07:49] umar -- ls -l -t -r then start removing files [07:49] UMAR guess what? Re-Install and get a larger hard drive. [07:49] so when I do sudo mount -t ext2 /dev/sdb2 /mnt I get [07:50] Five Gigs is rediculous in this world of computers. [07:50] mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on device, missing blah blah [07:50] no my main jaunty has 250gb [07:50] hi everyone i need some help installing my cdma modem on ubuntu 9.04 [07:50] which is my os [07:50] Bluey and Curly_Q, i think it would be better if i can decrease the size of some other partition and increase the size of /home, my file system is saying that 18.5 GB is allocated to /home [07:51] Umar, that is true. [07:51] I'd like to install the package so I can read mail from commandline ($ mail) - but when I do a "apt-get install mailutils", a lot of other packages are to be installed (eg mysql, exim, ...) which I don't need (I use postfix as mailserver) ... can I have "mail" on commandline wihtout all the other stuff ? [07:51] thanks for your help im going to go and connect to my bad system so I can use pastebin [07:52] wow this is taking forever to post [07:52] Reduce the size of the partitions. Root is the partition that is important. Next make sure that other partitions are not going to be increased or added to. [07:52] hi all, I recently migrated to ubuntu from windows, and I have to say its pretty good. I just seem to have some media playback problems... My mp3s sometimes skip, and watching videos in flash players online are a bit choppy... Please can anyone point me in the right direction? [07:53] okay I don't remember who wanted /var/lib/dpkg/available but it's here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/276827/ [07:54] desperado: mailx [07:54] you need to comment out line 1 and note that I am runnng and amd64 [07:54] hmmm. I make a file called 'test' and in it I have `#!/bin/bashecho "hi"` and when im in the terminal in that directory and I run `$ ./test` I get `bash: ./test: Permission denied` [07:54] Curly_Q, how do i reduce the size of the partitions? is there a interface to select the various partitions, and increase/decrease theier sizes, or do i need to start in recovery mode and carry out the operations from there? or is there some other way? can u point me to how i can change the sizes of the 4 partitions that i have? [07:55] ryguy, have you changed the file permissions to 777, or whatever allows you to execute the file [07:55] ryguy, does it work with sudo? [07:55] why in the mainline kernels there are TWO headers listed, one called generic and one that is not, it seems like you have to install both... [07:55] the partitions i have are: 1) /, 2) /boot, 3) /home, and 4) /home/umar/.gvfs [07:56] UMAR, just keep in mind that that [07:56] Ahh I got it, I was running `chmod -x ./test` instead of `chmod +x ./test` [07:56] Thanks though [07:56] SWAP partition equals or not doubles the your RAM. [07:56] ok [07:56] hi anyone know how to retriece my menu list [07:56] retrieve grub/menu list [07:57] and here is /var/log/dpkg/status -- http://paste.ubuntu.com/276829/ [07:57] what is the correct procedure [07:57] Curly_Q, which one of hte 4 is the SWAP partition? [07:57] The SWAP partition in Linux is the same as the " CONTIGUOUS" file in Windows. It works the same. [07:58] unfortunately I cant install an irc client on my dead system since I cant mount my / [07:58] Garefield: does the modem not appear in the network manager? [07:58] It should say /swap [07:58] no it does not [07:58] but if i do lsusb it is detected [07:59] http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/searchtools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=5263757 [07:59] $200 quad core with 2gb ram hmm [07:59] Garefield: which model is it? [07:59] jimbeam12, you mean you want to edit the grub menu.lst ? [07:59] *Cringes and the thoughr of TD* [07:59] Curly_Q, i dont have any partition with name /swap, the four that my System Monitor is showing are: 1) /, 2) /boot, 3) /home, and 4) /home/umar/.gvfs [08:00] The only difference is in Windows the SWAP or Contiguous file is not really a partition. However, you can use a separate hard drive with Windows to SWAP files as a contiguous file. it is involved, but you should get the idea. [08:00] do anyone facing problem in installing mysql in ubuntu? [08:00] anyone know a way to clean up dpkg? I'm getting a segfault from aptitude/apt-get when trying to do anything. aptitude install foo for instance. [08:01] Curly_Q, with sizes being: 1)37GB, 2)91MB,3)18.5Gb, and 4)37GB respectively [08:01] geirha: mailx also comes with exim ... [08:01] yes se7vn [08:01] I follow the step in http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/how-do-i-enableremote- [08:01] at the 1st installation it works! [08:01] The point is that you need to install Ubuntu or any Linux Kernel with a /swap file. [08:02] I can't determine if it's the apt utils or the db's [08:02] ubu_nub: aptitude clean (cleans cache) [08:02] after i upgraded to ubuntu 9.0.4, my mysql cannot remote access login already [08:02] ubu_nub: maybe that helps [08:02] may i know, is this a bug? [08:02] Hey, just a general question, and it does relate to Ubuntu, but if I wanted to make programs for Ubuntu, would it be better to learn C#, Python, or Ruby? [08:02] when I plugin my webcamera the pwc driver is chose, but I want to use gspca instead. how can I control this? [08:02] previous ubuntu i use is ubuntu 8 [08:02] th0ger: it gives a segfault as well. [08:03] CastilleV, Python is the prefered language [08:03] CastilleV: your choice, all of them work... probably best to discuss in #ubuntu-offtopic [08:03] CastilleV learn POSIX COMPLIANT C and you will do good if you want to be a good programmer. [08:03] hello all, guys i have a problem with pulseaudi pavucontrol - it says connection refused. I checked out the permissions i tried to reload the daemon without any success .. any idea what else i can do ? [08:03] th0ger: segfault at cb0af058 ip b7e8b0ff sp bfe47f00 error 5 in libapt-pkg-libc6.8-6.so.4.6.0[b7e56000+bf000] [08:04] is what /var/log/messages is giving me. [08:04] annyone know? [08:04] POSIX compliancy is a portable C language which works well with UNIX, LINUX, and Windows etc. [08:05] OK, I notice some programs for *nix aren't very stable, so that does help a little bit. [08:05] ubu_nub: so both apt (and aptitude) is broken. dpkg works? [08:05] anyone konw the best way to convert html to markdown? [08:05] lets see if it can search. [08:06] Curly_Q, just googled and found that gparted is a tool for resizing partitions. i need to install it using apt-get, and hopefully it is all straightforward from then on?

[08:06] th0ger: ahhh. ....dpkg-query: parse error, in file `/var/lib/dpkg/status' near line 32760 package `notification-daemon': [08:07] sorry [08:07] th0ger: .... `Depends' field, invalid package name `.6': must start with an alphanumeric [08:07] thx [08:07] ubu_nub: try to reinstall apt with dpkg. (may the libapt package above). Perhaps dpkg-reconfigure [08:07] Lolek there is a PORT BLOCK somewhere there. Or a permissions problem. Or a network IP block on those particular PORTS. [08:08] Curly_Q: ok i found the problem [08:08] th0ger: yep. let me screw my brain back on. [08:08] henry patiently waiting for respond [08:08] :( [08:08] What was the problem? [08:08] Curly_Q: i need to run pulseaudio : --system -D --disallow-exit --disallow-module-loading [08:08] Curly_Q: after that everything is ok... [08:09] Great. [08:09] Curly_Q: it's weird... cause, as i remember pulseaudio was designed to be run as normal user... [08:10] * mekanik waves [08:10] question, using vlc which would be th ebest format to record/stream something in??? [08:11] anyone know how to edit menu.lst iam on live cd [08:11] .ogg, right? Its an opensource file extension. [08:11] Lolek, as a Network Administrator, I see these problems all of the time. And the main problem and most sought after questions has to do with permissions problems. If you have a shell account, you don't have permissions unless the Network Administrator allows or permits your interactions. [08:12] Curly_Q: well i know that but... it's on my local machine... [08:12] is that for the vlc question??? [08:12] Curly_Q: and.. i don't thing there is any need of having root perm for playing ... sound o.O [08:12] * mekanik ponders his very "newbie" questions.... [08:13] With any LINUX or UBUNTU issue ROOT is everything. With permissions, you can control the world of Linux. [08:13] I'd like to install the package so I can read mail from commandline ($ mail) - but when I do a "apt-get install mailutils", a lot of other packages are to be installed (eg mysql, exim, ...), mailx comes with exim too - which I don't need (I use postfix as mailserver) ... can I have "mail" on commandline wihtout all the other stuff ? [08:13] I'm looking on Google etc too but no luck / no info [08:14] ROOT = Ultimate-Power [08:14] with power comes Great responsibility... [08:15] Nice point and well taken KingTiger01 <---------------------------< [08:15] Curly_Q: but... abot the pulseaudio... it still doesn't solve my problem :D [08:15] Try a Wikipedia or a Google on that. [08:16] Curly_Q, found a solution, moving stuff out from there into /www/newfolder. actually the cirtual pc images were taking quite a lot of space [08:17] Umar that tells me a lot and as I said earlier, a small Hard Drive is useless. [08:18] Curly_Q, i mean i had two 5 GB images of a virtual pcs in my home folder, i just moved them out to create space. but for a better fix, shoudi use gparted? [08:20] The bottom line is it is like shoving down the throat of someone a 30 pound turkey when they have just ate a pork loin steak. Think about it. [08:20] so...anyone know why games like games like openarena use both screens in a dual monitor setup [08:20] but if i go full screen in say vlc, it knows to stay in the one monitor? [08:21] hello ppl i am here with a problem can anyone help me [08:21] or hell even playing a game thru wine...stays in one monitor...but openarena uses both, its a bit of a pain in the arse [08:21] i want to connect to internet using my huawei 2258 cdma phone [08:21] Curly_Q: More like using a Atom Bomb for fishing... [08:21] some know how i get edit my grub/menu.lst file [08:21] but i dont know how to do it [08:21] iam on live cd now [08:22] wvdial does not reconize my modem but lsusb dies [08:22] does [08:22] Curly_Q: by giving any application root access, they can modify any configuration... i use fakeroot for everything anymore... [08:22] jimbeam12: mount /dev/sd## /mnt/boot [08:22] jimbeam12: or something along those lines...then edit away [08:23] How in hell do you fake root? [08:23] fakeroot is a package... [08:23] pretend-sudo [08:23] fakeroot is similiar to sudo, but without giving write access and some other permissions.. [08:23] You would'nt catch me using a fake root program. [08:24] why do you need fakeroot in the first place ? [08:24] * mekanik sits, watches and learns.. :) [08:24] well then... you have never built sources have you.. [08:24] nope still getting an empty menul.lst jyxt [08:24] why not the real root ? (pardon my lack of knowledge though) :) [08:24] As a Network Administrator, I would never advise anyone to use a FAKE ROOT. [08:25] anyone know how I can choose which driver is used with my webcam? I want gspca instead of pwc [08:25] jimbeam12: ls -l /mnt/boot/ [08:25] i need help ridding my system of the stupid X server check in ubuntu, as it always complains when i use a non default xorg.conf and it even reports errors when i use an xorg.conf that it makes [08:25] jimbeam12: what does it say? if you get nothing then you didnt mount the right partition [08:25] can some one tell me how which download will help improve my resolution for a nvidia card? [08:25] Curly_Q: then you would NEVER be able to build -DEV packages for Ubuntu/Debia Repositorys!!! [08:26] To me FAKE ROOT is nothing but a KIDDIE SCRIPT or HACK to use as a back door and I would not and don't encourage anyone here to listen to this. [08:26] i can pastebin it jyxt [08:26] i was just happy when Ubuntu found my new HP printer automatically :D [08:26] i need help ridding my system of the stupid X server check in ubuntu, as it always complains when i use a non default xorg.conf and it even reports errors when i use an xorg.conf that it makes [08:27] iop [08:27] jimbeam12: if ls -l /mnt/boot/ has stuff...then /mnt/boot/grub/menu.lst should also have stuff [08:28] Akkarin du huso [08:28] Curly_Q: if youre a REAL network Administrator... i would suggest you take a read over at linuxquestions about compiling Libs... its NOT a backdoor, it STOPS Applications that you launch from OVERWRITING other files... WITHOUT IT. you would have a unbootable system when building certian applications... And being that you dont know this i HIGHLY doubt you are a NA, you wouldnt Survive as a IT or SA. [08:28] please can anyone suggest what I should do with these errors? http://pastebin.com/m3d8579c3 [08:28] Jyxt, even if he's running from a livecd with no distro installed? [08:28] uuueeeee [08:28] uéééééé [08:29] se7vn: he apparantly had it installed before, menu.lst got overwrote or something so he booted into livecd to fix [08:29] Can someone help me configure a GPRS connection? [08:29] jimbeam12: your boot partition has contents, but menu.lst is empty? 0 file size? [08:30] yes [08:31] I tried connecting with *sudo pppd nomagic call gprs* and my cellphone responds. But my laptop isn't online. Also, how do I *disconnect*? [08:31] jimbeam12: not sure how i can help you...guess i could paste you mine menu.lst (fresh install) [08:31] but the uuid's would be all different [08:31] have u got dual boot [08:32] jimbeam12: [08:32] no [08:32] KingTiger01 I totally subscribe to being an: " Ethical Hacker" You may not know much about it but it is something to subscribe to. People like myself works very hard to stop hacking and foolishness to pervade within the ranks of a social environment. [08:32] ok paste it lll ill have a look at it [08:32] an ethical hacker.... *ponders* .. i can see that... [08:33] It is though to my understanding that Ubuntu is a lot more secure than Windows .. correct? [08:34] Mekanik, [08:34] I'm getting a black screen of death in ubuntu when I try to copy terminal outputs [08:34] Security is beyond the scope of your comment. [08:34] I surmise that to be quite a bit of security then? [08:34] jimbeam12: http://pastebin.com/d6e5fb1d1 [08:34] If "sudo poff" tells me "/usr/bin/poff: No pppd is running. None stopped" Does that mean I have no active connection? [08:35] jimbeam12: this is a fresh install...only like 3 hours old [08:35] I teach classes all day long on this subject. [08:35] ok thx [08:35] ill have a look at it thx === prince_j1mmys is now known as prince_jammys [08:35] mekanik: *nix is inherintly more secure than windows for a variety of reasons [08:36] Anyone?

I knew some one would try and press my Buttons with Noobish Definitions of a DEBIAN package written by Linus Torvalds... THE MAKER OF THE LINUX KERNEL.. if want a lecture on hacking.. ill go talk to Kevin Mitnick, or go back to college and listen to another lecture from a proffessor. But, i think i should know a little bit about the diffirence between a Bash/SH/Perl Sc [08:37] ript and a SU_like Jail-Application thats STOPS hacked applications or applications DESIGNED to damage youre system, or applications period from REPLACING youre system files... stop trying to play a Experience *nix user. [08:37] Curly_Q: false. what if somebody walks into your datacenter and takes your server? [08:38] Curly_Q: what if someone calls support and gets a password? can either of those be prevented by a network admin?

[08:39] Curly_Q: psh, kevin mitnick isnt a hacker...he's a social engineer [08:39] any good pw managers that work with ubuntu, windows, and maybe iphone and/or winmoble? [08:39] he's good at talking the talk [08:40] I read his profile. [08:40] Jyxt: in the broader definition of the term, mitnick IS a hacker [08:40] Boohbah: well by all rights and definitions most computer users are hackers...we forget that popular media altered the term to something nefarious back in the 80's [08:40] before the media got a hold of it...a hacker was essentially a programmer [08:41] Obviously... but 70% of them are worried about personal gain... not pissing off some network admin... i was a child of the 80's. i grew up playing around with my IBM PC1, and getting Loop numbers... doesnt mean i consort those actions now... i regret them. but i learned something, unlike some people. [08:41] if'n you want to talk semantics Boohbah [08:41] I like your definition Jyxt. [08:41] Boohbah : That guy didn't spare on paying the HTML team much did he LOL [08:41] hi. i have weirdest problem. When i type anything in search bar in NetBeans or Firefox and search fails (text i search is not found) whole screen flashes black. As if every window in screen is being redrawn. [08:41] maybe this comes from some sound effect? [08:41] Mitnick made a mistake and paid for it. [08:41] Curly_O - that worked thanks [08:42] need help [08:42] any ideas? [08:42] to me a hacker is someone who uses the code to gain entry, whereas a social engineer (mitnick) use's charm and charisma [08:42] why the hostname is 127.0.0.1 but the domain = 127.0.1.1? [08:42] Constantine did you shut off the screen saver? [08:43] 127.0.0l.1 is the local host which is the NIC card and you can PING it. [08:43] I installed the mainline kernel 2.6.31-020631 cause I'm running a macbook pro and it's the only one that will allow the macbook to restart. At boot up I get these msgs: 'ssb: ERROR: PLL init unknown for device 4322', ' ssb: ERROR: PMU resource config unknown for device 4322' Anyone know anything? [08:44] I can't logg on to even order the new version...even though in other places it says I am...i wonder if this could be because of Opera browser? [08:44] Sorry 127.0.0.1 is the local host and you can open up a Command Prompt and do a : /ping localhost [08:45] is there a way to control the order and timing of startup items? [08:45] Also : /ping 127.0.0.1 [08:45] se7vn: it's more about content than presentation.

[08:47] MESA DRI Intel 945G 20061102 x86/mmx/sse2 [08:47] Constantine, try using the screen resolution and changing the format. You may be asking the computer to supply more pixels than what is asked for. === Xero is now known as Midnighter [08:47] how do I do that [08:48] Boohbah : Presentation's the easy part, thought that wouldn't have been overlooked [08:48] Change the the screen resolution. [08:48] constantine__: i had this problem before...no matter what i did compiz always turned my screen black, its because by default compiz doesn't have a wm...so it doesn't know *how* to draw things on your screen [08:48] but it has the correct screen resolution for my monitor and it works in windows [08:49] jyxt, it worked fine for months [08:49] Hello together. Why does "du -hs file" reports a very different value for filesize than "ls -hla file" ? [08:49] constantine__: oh then nvm :P [08:49] thanks morpheuss [08:49] then I left it alone for four months and turned it back on and it does this [08:49] I differs for about 25GB on a 40GB file [08:49] Shut off the screen saver and the autoprotect.

[08:50] sorry for flooding: here's the paste: http://paste.ubuntu.com/276858/ [08:51] instead of using one monitor like everything else that goes full screen [08:51] does any one know how to use halevt to auto mount pendrive in text mode [08:51] Constantine try shutting down your antivirus software if you have it installed or anything that has a TIMER on it.

In fact, I have had this problem with a nice monitor and it was the drivers and not the monitor or the computer or the OS. [08:56] that doesn't make any sense, though - its working fine right now and with every other application [08:56] It does make sense.

[09:11] nathan never [09:11] neil_d: whats the exact error your getting when trying to connect with a key [09:12] Jyxt: I think so... I get asked for the password. [09:12] ok ive tried sudo mount -t et3 /dev/sda5/mnt [09:12] neil_d: with the key you shouldnt be asked [09:12] did you chmod the local key? [09:12] Jyxt: I know [09:12] chmod 400 .ssh/id_rsa [09:13] Jyxt: done (on the client) no change! [09:15] jimbeam12 : I was going to suggest, when I first updated the kernel on ubuntu and screwed up my menu.lst file, come to find out 2 days later, I was editing 1 of 2 menu.lst's [09:15] Jyxt: the /etc/ssh/sshd_config has "PubkeyAuthentication yes" [09:15] if they're listed in grub, there's a menu.lst around with that info in it [09:15] neil_d: and on your server /etc/ssh/sshd_config you have pubkeyauthentication yes [09:15] Test [09:16] ok what the solution then . [09:16] Jyxt: snap!! [09:16] if i cant get to my menu.lst [09:16] neil_d: it works? === piratex is now known as rootpiratex [09:17] Jyxt: no,, still asks for the password! [09:17] neil_d: did you change anything in the sshd_config? if so you should restart ssh [09:17] though i think by default pubkeyauth is on [09:17] aiutooooo [09:17] Do we have to do anything special to get Karmic to recognize encrypted [external device] partitions? On Gentoo with GNOME 2.26 the auto mounter did the LUKS mapping automatically and then a dialog came up prompting for passphrase. Am I missing something obvious to make this work on Ubuntu? [09:17] what's in the /boot/grub directory of your distro partition? [09:18] Jyxt: no I didn't.. but I restarted it anyway.. still asks for a password. [09:18] th0ger: purged and reinstalled apt using dpkg worked. thx. [09:18] neil_d: and your /home/user/.ssh/authorized_keys2 file shows a line like [09:18] AfC: Support for Karmic is in #ubuntu+1, you're more likely to get a response in that channel than in here [09:18] ssh-rsa BUNCHOFRANDOMCHARACTERS user@domain [09:18] i need help making a dual head xorg.conf for my ATI card, no matter how i do it it always fails to load properly and brings up a xorg screen at boot === Hetor`_ is now known as Hetor` [09:18] DJones: ah.

I just double checked the pub key is in the file. [09:20] sagaci: 777 gives user, group, world...read, write, execute permission [09:20] sagaci: 333 gives only write and execute [09:20] so with 333 nobody...not user, group or world...can read the file [09:20] sagaci, those numbers are octal sums [09:20] each corresponds to a unique config [09:20] neil_d: is it on one line? [09:21] Jyxt: but they can write to it, right? [09:21] sagaci: with 333 yes [09:21] anyone can write to it and execute it [09:21] Jyxt: just cannot read it directly [09:21] Jyxt: yes [09:21] sagaci: or indirectly i would think [09:22] anyone?

I am using some guides that are not specifically for ubuntu, but I think you are right [09:35] Jyxt: root does not have a password so a password login on root should be impossible.

[10:58] Gnea when I shut down camorama guvc still won't run, it asks for v4l2 [10:58] why [10:58] babu_: No :D [10:58] !piracy | babu_ [10:58] babu_: 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 [10:58] jyxt yes [10:58] babu_: We are a Linux chatroom [10:59] babu_: XP is Windows [10:59] lolek: you sent me a polish message ;) [10:59] TheNEWman: well first you'd need a reasonably powerful machine...and second you should look into virtualization ala vmware or virtualbox [10:59] kurva match [10:59] babu_: Windows and Linux are two different things. [10:59] i want vlc player [10:59] babu_: Google is your friend [10:59] raphink: ah... sorry... there was a guy.. and i didn't checked just pressed tab and .. irssi completed the nick with yours and.. [10:59] tarthen, hacking... O-o... I'm not good at hacking... Remember i'm the guy that didnot know how to change a password.... LOL [10:59] raphink: you understand ;) [10:59] babu_: there is vlc for linux [10:59] its ok.. [10:59] babu_: This is a support channel for Ubuntu, a free operating system. Any other topics go in #ubuntu-offtopic. In addition, piracy is NOT ALLOWED in this channel. For Microsoft Windows support, try ##windows. [11:00] hey what did u say [11:00] babu_: if you want xp, then please ask for it in ##windows. kthxbai. [11:00] jyxt, why, I have have 10 users logged in to my ubuntu box at the same time. [11:00] raphink: btw your question was almost good, : rozumiem po angielsku? :) [11:00] lolek: yes I do, no pb ;) [11:00] jyxt, I mean why mess with virtualization. [11:00] raphink: ok, then :) [11:00] TheNEWman: yes...but to push a different gui to each user [11:00] TheNEWman: Hahaha. I'd just go and get ~10 or so old P4 boxes [11:00] its ok no pb [11:00] !offtopic | Tarthen [11:00] Tarthen: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [11:00] lolek: yes, I kind of russified it as I typed... not really used to speaking polish ;) [11:01] TheNEWman: and you'd want some semblance of security going on..ie you woudlnt want customer A to see what customer B is doing would you [11:01] tarthen... you may be right. [11:01] raphink, lolek, TheNEWman: The above applies to you, too :) [11:01] MenZa: don't. [11:01] raphink: well ok.. no problem ;) it's not your native language..;) [11:01] TheNEWman: i know you can buy a hardware kvm switch, but i think thats to share multiple machines against a single monitor/mouse/keyboard [11:01] !pm | MenZa [11:01] MenZa: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [11:01] never heard of someont trying to go the otehr way [11:01] TheNEWman: Faster too. 9.04 runs like a dream on my P4, 512MB box at work. [11:02] MenZa: I was not OT. We are discussing multiple input devices and screens [11:02] jyxt, tarthen, I read about somone doing it on a bsd box. I just assumed it could be done in linux. [11:03] TheNEWman: l... i meet a guys.. about 3 years ago.. he did what you want to do... [11:03] TheNEWman: Hmm. It's possible, I know that [11:03] TheNEWman: he made it in linux.. but he has some problems... but i don't remember who was that.. but.. [11:03] MenZa: no pb ;) [11:03] loek... three years ago.. wow, then it must be easer today. [11:03] MenZa: the point is, it's actually sticking to the topic of what hardware ubuntu will run on, which is quite on-topic. [11:03] TheNEWman: But performance running 10 X screens would be appalling [11:03] TheNEWman: And not really. XFree86 is deprecated now, isn't it? [11:04] And XOrg.conf is *kind of* [11:04] TheNEWman: but, i think there is no problems... you need to configure properly the xorg.conf file.. and that's all [11:04] Tarthen: but xorg replaced it...same thing really [11:04] tarthen, perhaps 8 users with a lowend quad core or two dual core chips. [11:04] anybody knows where to look what gnome version am i using ? [11:04] hi ubunutu [11:04] TheNEWman: lol, you had a hadr time changing your password and your undertaking this? [11:04] kubanc: System > About Gnome [11:04] sorry ..hi ubuntu [11:05] !hi | babu_ [11:05] babu_: 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! [11:05] LOL NO, will ring in an expert. :-) me ignorant, not stupid. [11:05] thanks lolek [11:05] what is oing on [11:05] TheNEWman: no problem ;) [11:05] TheNEWman: outside of the processor to handle whatever workload they are doing...you'd need to invest in some decent gfx cards [11:05] TheNEWman: just wanted to say.. that it's possible.. [11:05] what is going on [11:05] Tarthen: weird, i have no "mount" when right clicking:) [11:05] TheNEWman: TBH, multiple boxes would be better. [11:06] pirx: Lemme check [11:06] TheNEWman: but... i think there is an easier way to do that [11:06] jyxt, I have some exp with multiple monitors, you really don't need much. a basic card now is fast enough. 20 bucks each. [11:06] TheNEWman: you need one extra powerfull machine... [11:06] ikonia: got a moment? [11:06] Gnea: sure [11:06] TheNEWman: then buy asmany terminals as you need, and make virtual desktop connections to the powerfull machine [11:06] I am sure you could do it with a dual core... even a lower end one. but 4 cores would be better. [11:06] pirx: Oh! If you go into Nautilus, you can mount from that [11:06] TheNEWman: probably with like 4 gfx cards, cards with dual outs...one monitor per user then just configure the xorg.conf to run multiple monitors and multilple cards...then you'd have to go thru and disable each monitor from changing to another monitor and all that stuf [11:06] ikonia: pm? [11:07] probably be *much* easier to just run multiple machines [11:07] Gnea: of course [11:07] babu_: what is the problem [11:07] TheNEWman: pm... [11:07] jyxt yep, that is probably right. I'm a gonna google. I am sure there must be someone out there that has done it and published how. [11:08] nsch nkhxc,mlk lkkhSI90I;KUKJCHJ [11:09] TheNEWman: TheNEWman http://www.computing.net/answers/networking/one-computer-multiple-users/30713.html [11:09] babu_: Please don't do that [11:09] babu_: Please don't flood. This is a fairly busy channel, and a line like that only clutters the channel :) [11:09] first hit from google with search terms "linux multiple users monitors one machine" [11:09] my mouse cursor isn't changing in nautilus and the desktop [11:09] jyxt, YOU DA MAN!! thanks. [11:09] ya i got it [11:09] ,lm [11:10] p]k';;;;,mmmmmmmmmmp';;;;;;;;;;;;;; [11:10] indus: ? [11:10] erUSUL: nothing [11:10] TheNEWman: last post in that link, links to a site called userful...apprantly they sell a device that does exactly what you want [11:10] indus: ok :) [11:10] erUSUL: a little hyperactive nerves [11:12] HI guys , i need to lock file and folder's and set password on folder's ? PLZ help me (i can speak EN very will but understand a little) [11:12] * indus needs tea [11:12] TheNEWman: apparantly a howto for doing a 6 head workstation http://linuxgazette.net/124/smith.html [11:12] WhiteCrow1: What is your native language? [11:13] what's better fedora or ubuntu? [11:13] !best | zebastian [11:13] zebastian: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [11:13] MenZa: i speak persian and i know chanal #ubuntu.ir but this chanal not very good [11:13] zebastian: thats like asking whats better...mercedes or bmw [11:13] zebastian: A matter of preference. Try asking BestBot in #ubuntu-bots what he thinks. [11:13] it depends on what your using it for...and above all personal tastes [11:13] WhiteCrow1: Alright - hopefully someone will be able to help anyway :) [11:14] why would someone prefer fedora when RMS is all about freedom [11:14] Wha> [11:14] MenZa: TNX dude [11:14] Fedora is OpenSource [11:14] Does anyone know from the top of their head if it is possible to read an Apple TIme Machine backup (on an external USB HDD) with an Ubuntu system? [11:14] http://userful.com/ [11:14] isnt fedora part of redhat? [11:14] and ubuntu? [11:14] TheNEWman: check out this link http://linuxgazette.net/124/smith.html [11:14] zebastian: uhh...open source as well [11:14] ok, thanks jyxt [11:15] there's no community as large as ubuntu though right? so by having more users ubuntu has more bug reports and more developers and is therefore more stable? [11:15] WhiteCrow1: try encfs https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FolderEncryption [11:15] ChristW: yes [11:16] zebastian: Fedora is the community version of the commercial Red Hat Linux. Ubuntu is made by Canonical. They have equally big communities, IMO, but Ubuntu is "easiest" [11:16] Tarthen: Actually, Ubuntu is made by thousands of contributors world-wide. :) [11:16] easiest? in what respect? it's better because it's freer though right? [11:16] chunky: Any references? [11:16] MenZa: Distributed then ;) [11:16] jyxt, looks good. Thanks [11:16] zebastian: easiest as in easy to install, update, etc [11:16] erUSUL: tnx i go to see [11:16] Evolution is acting up. It disabled the send/receive button when I changed theme for some reason. [11:17] restarting does nothing [11:17] zebastian: vs something like gentoo which is probably the hardest...but both use the same software, just in a different way [11:17] zebastian: Not a lot of modern Linux distributions are *fully* free, Ubuntu, for instance, are shipped with some proprietary components. If you want a fully free OS, try looking at gNewSense, or similar distributions. [11:17] well, i saw linus torvalds uses fedora and i didn't get why he doesn't use ubuntu [11:17] ChristW: no, but it works for me personally [11:17] both are free...none are any more free than any others [11:17] chunky: So I'll just mount the disk and see what I can find... [11:17] question: on the aspire one netbook, i need to reinstall the whole 9.04 installation, but, should i switch to a clean 9.10? Because several bugs are fixed there. [11:18] how do i register with this irc server? [11:18] so while I am asking questions, does anyone know how to set up the vpn option in the network connections window. [11:18] is power pc better than x86? i was reading partly why he uses fedora is because it works well on power pc [11:18] !register | SilentJonathan [11:18] SilentJonathan: Information about registering your nickname: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration - Type « /nick » to select your nickname . Registration help available in #freenode [11:18] But this is straying into offtopic-land; asking about how free Ubuntu is isn't, but let's not get into a long discussion about how free different distributions are compared to each other. That discussion belongs in #ubuntu-offtopic :) [11:18] zebastian: he is used to fedora? he likes it more for subjective reasons? has a fetish with hats ? really; move this to #ubuntu-offtopic please === SilentJonathan is now known as SilentJonathanD [11:19] Hello i compiled some tool i need for my research , when i try to use the tool i get msg : Set IRSTLM environment variable with path to irstlm . any idea what i should do ? [11:19] nobody talks in ubuntu-offtopic [11:19] Menza do you now how to setup a vpn in the network connections window? [11:19] zebastian: Linus no longer uses powerpc [11:19] zebastian: given the sheer number of linux distro's...why choose one over another, personal preference is what it boils down to...you use what you like [11:19] TheNEWman: I wouldn't, no. I suggest hanging around in the channel, and maybe someone else will. :) [11:19] anybody know how to get nvidia sli working in ubuntu? [11:19] should i get rid of my x86 laptop and buy a power pc? [11:19] is it better? [11:19] Thanks menza [11:19] viki25: well you need to set up some environment variable [11:19] i use gentoo on my laptop and ubuntu on my desktop...doesnt make one better than the other [11:20] jyxt, do you know how to configure the vpn option in the newtwork connection window? [11:20] Is there a way to check what accounts I have set up in Evolution? [11:20] TheNEWman: never used vpn === SilentJonathanD is now known as SilentMonkey [11:20] Perhaps one of them is disabled [11:20] jyxt, thanks. [11:20] main reasons why i chose ubuntu were because i met one of the developers, i saw it had a really big community and liked the userfriendliness [11:20] TheNEWman: Just ask the channel, no point in asking individuals. [11:20] lolek: can you tell me how to do that ? (i am new to Ubuntu) can you give me an example ? [11:20] viki25: well no problem.. pm ? [11:21] Does anyone know how to set up a vpn in the network connections window? [11:21] lolek: sure :) [11:21] Ah, never mind [11:21] there's more packages for ubuntu than for anything else though right? because all of debian packages will run on ubuntu and debian has mre packages than anything [11:21] sd [11:22] tnx all of you'r guys , bye [11:22] help, i lost the right click to on the desktop on Gnome! [11:22] zebastian: not true. debian packages do not work in ubuntu [11:22] zebastian: not sure how true that is [11:22] good morning all. can someone help me with my sound? i can hear it when its quiet, but it wont get loud, and my headphones wont work... [11:22] shos: nautilus is responsible for that [11:23] how about the bsd? i heard all linux packages will work on bsd [11:23] i have 9.04 on a gateway netbook [11:23] acostello: open your mixer and make sure that pcm, front etc are on and of a good volume [11:23] Jyxt: i did, but i will do it again [11:23] jrib: how do i fix that? [11:23] i know my laptop has a seperate sound channel for the speakers and the headphone jack...was pissing me off for the longest why i had no sound out of the headphone jack until i realized the headphone mixer was muted [11:23] shos: I don't know, but seeing if nautilus is running and/or restarting nautilus and seeing if it crashes would be a good place to start [11:24] acostello: in my laptop it was called 'front' also my desktop has 'front' for the front sound jacks [11:24] guys .. im having a huge problem with my laptop. i was trying to setup afterstep on ubuntu 9.04, and after i get all the packages installed, i run this command echo "export WINDOW_MANAGER=/usr/local/bin/afterstep" > ~/.gnomerc [11:24] now the laptop crashs everytime i boot [11:24] Jyxt: what is the pcm? [11:24] thanks everyone. Good night [11:25] adok: erm, isn't afterstep in the repositories? Why did you compile it? [11:25] i got it from there, with normal package install [11:25] synaptic i mean [11:25] acostello: not sure what it stands for or what it exactly is...but i know when its muted i have no sound [11:25] will my laptop turn on faster once i get ext4? [11:25] can anyone help me with linux-image-2.6.30.5 i cant install it because it's allready installed but i can't install anything thunderbird vbox gcc because it requires this image to be installed.. but when i try to install it.. it's allready there! [11:25] adok: well it shouldn't be in /usr/local/ [11:26] zebastian: don't think so... [11:26] hello there! I would lik to know, if there is a possibility, how to extract some .tar.gz into usr/lib/gedit ?? === imatt is now known as iMatt [11:26] iMatt: why? [11:26] jrib, i want to istall a plugin for gedit! [11:26] jrib, yes i know, i found that in a guide, and i changed to the right path after look for afterstep with whereis [11:27] adok: but that's not what you wrote. What does your ~/.gnomerc actually say? [11:27] i already booted in root mode, and deleted the file... even so, it doesnt work, laptop keeps crashing after it boots in graphic mode [11:27] hi, everyone, i have a strange problem with ubuntu jaunty, i am trying to run a postgresql-8.3-server and whenever i use /etc/init.d/postgresql-8.3 start absolutely nothing happens and no server is started [11:27] iMatt: use ~/.gnome2/gedit/plugins [11:27] nothing, i didnt had it, i follow a guide from http://wiki.afterstep.org/index.php?title=Switching_to_AfterStep_in_Ubuntu_8.10 [11:27] wuehlmaus: is that the tab completed command? [11:28] adok: what else did you run? [11:28] even knowing my version is 9.04, everything was loking right [11:28] Jyxt: i think, yes [11:28] wuehlmaus: ie if you type /etc/init.d/postres(press tab) [11:28] err postgres [11:28] Jyxt: that's the script [11:28] just that, i installed the packaged, run that, and rebooted... it crashed [11:28] i am used to using complete [11:28] !who | adok [11:28] adok: 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 :) [11:29] then i went in root mode after boot again, and deleted .gnomerc, in hope it was fixed.. but it wasnt [11:29] Jyxt: otherwise i would get a "file not found" [11:29] wuehlmaus: after tab completing the postgres part...press tab again [11:29] it should list possible commands? [11:29] adok: try setting WINDOW_MANAGER to metacity the same way you set it to afterstep [11:29] jrib, sorry, [11:29] hmm [11:29] excellent, the upgrade succeeded! [11:29] #__iron [11:30] Jyxt: as i said, i am used to use completion , that isn't the problem [11:30] wuehlmaus: if you get commands there...try doing /etc/init.d/postgreswhateer status [11:30] nothing happens then [11:30] nada [11:30] wuehlmaus: heh, not even a: * postgres is not running [11:30] Jyxt: nothing :( [11:30] Jyxt: i found out that /etc/postgresql/ isn't there [11:30] wuehlmaus: maybe you need to do some post install configuration? [11:31] wuehlmaus: try: /etc/pgsql ? [11:31] i dont know anything about postgres...but i know mysql after install you have to setup the default databses and stuff, otherwise it wont run [11:31] lolek: didn't try that [11:31] :) [11:31] thank you jrib! it works! i installed the textmate like plugin, so i can just pull in an folder, and to see the content of it on the left sidebar! But its still saying that the object is an folder! :S [11:31] Jyxt: the same is in postgre [11:32] Jyxt: but postgre is sometime in /etc/pgsql instead of /etc/postgresql [11:32] question: on the aspire one netbook, i need to reinstall the whole 9.04 installation, but, should i switch to a clean 9.10? Because several bugs are fixed there. [11:32] lolek: does that mean /etc/init.d/pgsql start would work instead of postgresql? [11:32] Jyxt: yes [11:33] Jyxt: pgsql is just a shortcut for postgresql [11:33] wuehlmaus: hehe...try that /etc/init.d/pgsql start :P [11:33] hi, my gnome terminal displays ? at certain meta karakters, for example : meta-§ is this a setting? [11:33] loooool [11:34] /etc/init.d/mysqld start (not /etc/init.d/mysql start) since its a daemon...probably a gentoo thing [11:34] Jyxt: got it, it is an amarok setting, and it was driving me crazy... [11:34] Jyxt: thanks [11:34] Jyxt: hmmm.. well, yea.. i know... [11:34] <^Zaz> anyone know how long it should take for the latest version of irssi to appear in the package repository? [11:34] <__iron> Mutsch: yes? [11:34] Jyxt: i had gentoo... [11:34] lolek: i love gentoo, only downside is compiles soemtimes take forever [11:35] Jyxt: and that's why i use ubuntu on my amilo.. ;/ [11:35] Jyxt: the problem is only the compile time.. ;) [11:35] jrib no.. this didnt work [11:35] desktop runs ubuntu just for ease of use..i game on that machine and waiting for crap to compile and the days it would take me to get it to a working system...

[11:37] jrib http://pastebin.com/m3f5f6c5d [11:37] any plans for ubuntu to work on the interface for multiuser function? [11:37] adok: describe what you mean by "crash" exactly [11:38] I cannot mount my hdd partitions [11:38] help someone? [11:38] acostello: http://www.claws-mail.org/ [11:38] jrib after it boots, as usual ubuntu loads the graphic login. it refreshs the screen like... 3 times, and laptop crashs, nothing works, no numlock, nothing [11:38] acostello: i use claws due to it being fairly lightweight and easy to setup (especially with gpg) [11:38] is firefox having periods of locking up for anyone else on ubuntu jaunty? [11:39] adok: so you never attempt to login? [11:39] jrib, and ... i cant see anything only fuzz graphics..

[11:40] Jyxt: and that is why I cannot mount them...and force is not working [11:40] Jyxt: yes [11:40] chalcedony: hmm sometimes... [11:40] lutius: have you tried on the command line?

Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output. Simple usage: command-name | pastebinit [11:41] lolek, it's annoying .. havent had that before [11:41] adok: you can use a software called synergy to use one mouse/keybaord among multiple machines [11:41] chalcedony: well dunno.. usualy i use opera...

[12:40] better that way [12:40] so the seg fault disappeared, but the other erreor emerged [12:40] why does it take ubuntu almost 1 second to open a simple home folder in nautilus? [12:40] any one know how to move a wubi install to a ext4 drive [12:40] is it a bug? [12:40] ActionParsnip is there a way to increase my resolution and make it where i can see the whole screen in 1024X768 mode? [12:41] Jyxt, may be he is try to install it on a offline system !!

[12:41] mano in ubuntu , all software is available from a central location called a repository and it can be accessed via add/remove from menu [12:41] may i find in symantac [12:41] 800X600 is so lame i cant see half of stuff [12:41] razor_X: sure, if you run: gksudo jockey-gtk you should be offered a driver [12:41] hello some one i familiar with monodevelop crash? i`m up to date. [12:41] Mano: anyway just go to vlc site http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ [12:41] ok it can be done [12:41] all i needed to know [12:41] mano the command sudo apt-get install vlc [12:41] Mano: its in the package manager listings.. yes... Use teh package manager tools. [12:42] actionparsnip i have the nvidia driver installed but it detects my monitor as 800X600 [12:42] mano will install the software, this is what also happens when you run synaptic [12:42] dg1: this is linux.. somthing can always be 'done' :) just may be easier to do it some other way then what you were thinking..

[12:42] ActionParsnip: no need to run nvidia-settings with sudo [12:43] indus: is if you want to write to xorg.conf to make the boot screen the same res as the desktop [12:43] indus: err.. i have to if i want to to change the /etc/X11/xorg.conf [12:43] ActionParsnip: aah thats nvidia-xconfig [12:43] man, thats clever [12:43] indus: no thats to give a stock xorg.conf with nvidia oodnes [12:43] hi [12:43] actionparsnip it says to configure it as root [12:43] anyways [12:43] heh nvidia-settings (with no X) is the X app.. nvidia-xconfig with the X is not a X app. :) [12:43] razor_X: ok thats fine, close the app down [12:44] razor_X: run: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [12:44] nvidia-xconfig never works for me anyway [12:44] indus: me neither, i ignore it [12:44] ive not had to use nvidia-xconfig in ages.

[12:52] actionparsnip it only offers 640X480 and 320X230 [12:53] Dr_Willis: i know they have drivres every month on site, so if i could get a nice positive answer [12:53] razor_X: set the driver to vesa and reboot, uninstall the nvidia driver you installed [12:53] Dr_Willis: i think ill go blind and buy one, i have great hopes for the radeon HD driver open source one [12:53] indus: in the last ati drivers update.. they removed a lot of their 'older cards' so 3d support for bsaically vanished.... [12:54] indus: good luck.. [12:54] Dr_Willis: radeon 4850 :) [12:54] i dont plan on going ati in the forseable future. [12:54] indus: the ati drivers have gotten better over the last 2 years, but prior they sucked... i would get nvidia if you could... [12:54] Dr_Willis: also, open source drivers have 3d support [12:54] Does the latest 4850 driver from ATI work on ubuntu? now installing it [12:54] indus: 'some' do.. and some actually work..

[13:10] it doesnt need to be in rep using nix more than 10 y :P [13:10] Pici: ubuntu version doesnt matter...as its a kernel level exploit, newer kernels 2.6.30+ have it fixed i believe [13:11] but ubuntu doesn't run newerd kernels by default [13:11] 9.04 kernel 2.6.28-15-generic [13:11] Pici 9.04 kernel 2.6.28-15-generic [13:11] Jyxt: It does matter because some releases are patched already.

[13:13] (ssh localhost? :) [13:13] pici o tested some of the versions in milw0rm.. but so far all the fix makes me recompile the kernel from kernel.org... wich i rly didnt wanted to [13:13] adok: What exact version does 'apt-cache policy linux' say you're using? [13:13] Rounin: Unset DISPLAY :) [13:13] Rounin: but ive never worried too much about it. [13:13] Pici hold on [13:13] hi guys [13:13] Tgabjs Dr_Willis [13:13] what's a good cd audio extraction tool? [13:14] I mean thanks [13:14] hello everybody, I have an external disk which I use usually on windows... unfortunatly, the laptop had been infected by a virus that crypted a full directory, when I try to access to files into this directory a message appears telling me " access denied " [13:14] i have a cd which is a little bit scratched and i need something that will give me the best [13:14] the name of files appears in a green color, that means they crypted with a password [13:14] Gateway`: when trying to access from WINDOWS or from Linux?

Im guessing. [13:17] does apps leaking memory have anything to do with distros? [13:17] different distros? [13:17] Dr_Willis, cd audio has an error correcting code as well which is scattered around the disc. i wouldn't like bits to be marked as the wrong value because the extraction tool did not check the checksum and instead had to guess what the bit was.. [13:17] Dr_Willis, I've already tried but nothing important... thanks anyway :) [13:18] hi, my gnome terminal displays ? at certain meta karakters, for example : meta-§ is this a setting?

It works fine when I use it locally with firefox. However, it doesn't work when I configure a remote firefox. Can anyone help me with this? It seems like the port isn't open. [13:23] nawk: after that , you will get this on right click [13:24] jdv: theres supposed to be more then 1 copy of the superblock i recall.. but ive rarely recovered such things.. if its very imporntant you may want to check out ddrescue and some 'recovery' guides [13:24] pici .. im just looking for something for ubuntu, i was able to correct this in slackware, by decreasing the size of nnmap [13:24] does apps leaking memory have anything to do with distros? [13:24] in b/w different distros? [13:24] pici somehow the same fix doesnt apply to ubuntu [13:24] Dr_Willis yes testdisk locates other copies of ext2 superblock but I have no clue what do with that info. I will check out ddrescue, thanks [13:24] how can I tell emacs to run in the shell, not in a window? [13:25] jdv: you can give fsck some option to use them.. i forget the option [13:25] adok: I'm just trying to figure out why you don't have the updated package, because it was released. 2.6.28-15.49 was released to specifically address this issue.

Consider using audacious, bmpx, or xmms2 instead. [13:34] zebastian: xmms was a lot like winamp, its no longer developed but the alternatives are highlighted there [13:34] ActionParsnip the driver nvidia suggests is not available in linux is there an alternate driver available i can use? [13:34] NineTeen67Comet, you could run pidgin at start and use Bonjour accounts [13:34] razor_X: what is the output of: lspci | grep -i vga [13:34] ActionParsnip: whichw ould you personally recomend yourself for ubuntu hardy? [13:35] zebastian: for media playback I use mplayer and vlc [13:35] 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV11DDR [GeForce2 MX200] (rev b2) [13:35] mplayer? is that like totem? by the way, i don't like vlc that much it's sort of jumpy ActionParsnip [13:35] nawk: I'll have a look [13:35] b3rz3rk3r: That would work. I'd have to start it before I sent the message though. They are young kids (4 and 7) so I really don't want them online (networked but not on the web) .. [13:35] NineTeen67Comet, that would be LAN only messaging, and would also allow them to reply :) [13:35] ActionParsnip 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV11DDR [GeForce2 MX200] (rev b2) [13:36] nawk: I do.

Write email if you want [13:36] b3rz3rk3r: I'll play with it. I was hoping we had something like netsend in the ms world (my house has no ms but still it was a handy tool) [13:36] nawk: error* [13:37] NineTeen67Comet, there is also remote desktop which you could use to open a window in front of them and have dialog that way too [13:37] Allvaro: This is a support channel, please do not advertise or spam here.

Mainly to watch what they are doing. [13:37] Actionparsnip ironically it works fine under windows but its being a bear in linux [13:38] zebastian: mplayer can play lots of things, its similar to totem [13:38] ActionParsnip: does it come out of the box in hardy? [13:38] b3rz3rk3r: I'll ask around a little. I've been a linux only household since 2001, but haven't had a need like this until now (dansguardian is my next work) .. [13:38] i'm wondering whether i have it or have used it and idn't like it [13:38] NineTeen67Comet, you could try this: http://linpopup2.sourceforge.net/ [13:38] anyone know of free DJing software for linux? [13:38] razor_X: sudo apt-get --purge remove nvidia*; sudo apt-get --purge autoremove; sudo apt-get clean; rm ~/.nvidia-settings-rc; sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-96 [13:39] zebastian: no, you need to install it [13:39] b3rz3rk3r: oh, that looks really close .. thanks, I'll go play with it.

[13:45] Travis-42: i'd boot to recovery root console or livecd and fsck the disks [13:45] ActionParsnip: it happened after my / got full because of an error (which I fixed). /tmp is also mounted as 'overflow' [13:45] pastorn: apt-get source xscreensaver-data or the other xscreensaver- packages. [13:45] nawk: most certainly [13:45] ActionParsnip: ok [13:45] Travis-42: could run computer janitor [13:45] Pici: yeah, but where do they land?

[13:52] Not three small, more like 6. [13:52] zebastian: you also need to run: sudo apt-get install medibuntu-keyring [13:53] ActionParsnip: this one wget -O - http://deb.opera.com/archive.key | sudo apt-key add - ? [13:53] I don't know whether it matters, ubuntu or kubuntu. I have Kubuntu Jaunty installed but use gnome more often. One of my users has to change his password regularly yet I have not had to myself. Is this because he has administrative privileges? [13:53] should I just make him a user only? [13:53] zebastian: yes [13:53] ActionParsnip now it only offers 640X480 and 320X210 or some thing [13:53] racha: sorry, I dont know.. thats a bit more complicated that just accessing a filesystem or somesuch.

[14:11] Any ideas would be greatly appreciated, googling didn't show up anything useful so far [14:11] zebastian, through update manager said it was the opera entry [14:11] ActionParsnip: i just tried to drag the files to home and it wouldn't allow me to === chadwin is now known as dkonissper [14:12] how do i get sudo privileges on the gui?

Usually, whatever device it is, it is accessible via /dev/cdrom [14:40] thiebaude: yes but it gives me the same output [14:40] some dependencies cannot be installed [14:40] <[pablo]> mikepett: that probably means that you have allowed access for them to read only [14:40] <[pablo]> mikepett: you need to change permissions so they can't [14:41] Travis-42, it should be the same [14:41] [pablo]: exactly [14:41] thiebaude: Depends: mplayer (>= 1.0) or mplayer-nogui but it is not going to be installed [14:41] mattcen, i meant uhmmm identify what cdrom name it is or other informations [14:41] thiebaude: Canonical says "Maximum performance will typically only be achieved on new filesystems, not on filesystems that have been upgraded from ext3. " [14:41] Travis-42, go with that [14:42] thiebaude: I am :-), I was just trying to find out how big the performance difference was [14:42] <[pablo]> mikepett: like, for example, chmod 700 /home/user [14:42] <[pablo]> mikepett: would only let you and only you see the contents of that folder [14:42] Travis-42, i dont know the difference between the 2 [14:42] <[pablo]> mikepett: permissions 750 would let you and your group see, but not others [14:43] <[pablo]> mikepett: depends what level of access you want to give to your group and to others [14:43] Travis-42, anyway 9.10 has ext4 by default [14:43] Anyone good with accepts_nested_attributes_for and fields_for for complex forms?

[14:44] [pablo]: I just don't want anyone else to be able to see my home folder... that being said, I don't want to create issues with software I'm running while logged into my account from seeing and writing to my home folder. [14:44] !pdf [14:44] pdf is the Portable Document Format created by Adobe; viewable in GNU/Linux with xpdf/kpdf/okular/evince, and also adobe reader (free download, but closed source) [14:44] thiebaude: But I cannot modify it? [14:45] this is weird, I am partitioning with the alternative installer and it wants me to partition an encrypted volume... It should instead be using it as whole... [14:45] [pablo]: so it appears that chmod 700 is what I want, so that would be "chomod 700 /myusername/home" while from terminal [14:45] huwaw69: A little bit of information can be found via dmesg, but I'm not sure where else you can find anything... [14:45] Finnish, im not sure all i do is view pdf files in it [14:45] <[pablo]> mikepett: chmod 750 /home/user should be enough too, the software you run has the same priviledges as yourself, so it won't affect [14:46] ah it's just my stupidity striking again [14:46] * thiebaude sorry im a noob too,lol [14:46] [pablo]: sweet, thanks for your help! [14:46] does IE working via wine? [14:46] <[pablo]> np [14:46] anyone an idea how to make my laser mouse slower? settings are already at lowest. [14:47] Finnish: aiword and openoffice have the ability to export to PDF. You also have a PDF printer you can use to print from anything else [14:47] Finnish: You can print files to a PDF file by default often. [14:47] mikla, i tried ie4linux [14:47] Finnish: The print dialogue for Gnome for example, has a "print to file" option, which allows you to specify a PDF file as the output. [14:47] thiebaude, so its posible? gonna check [14:48] hi, i am trying to use a different wm because my machine is slow, but when i select it (icewm or openbox) at the login screen it still loads the default [14:48] http://www.vi2tu.net/uploads/angile2008_1.htm [14:48] CuBiC: http://www.x.org/wiki/Development/Documentation/PointerAcceleration#head-863ae9c52fe3658e800daa0e93d3e434190b732d [14:48] mikla, i dont know about ie8 bit ie6, yes === geo is now known as geo05 [14:48] but [14:48] one other thing I've been trying to figure out lately but can't seem to find the answer too is... I have two account on my computer (one for kids and one for me), since they are the primary users I have their account set to auto login, but sometimes I want to log into my account, is there a way to stop the auto-login with a key combo during boot so I can log in? right now I'm logged into their account, logging out, and then logging in wi [14:48] account, kind of a pain. [14:48] Finnish: http://www.wikihow.com/Edit-PDF-Files-in-Linux-Using-PDFEdit [14:48] <[pablo]> Finnish: you can use Sun's import PDF extension for openoffice.org, and modify it -- check link http://www.sun.com/software/staroffice/extensions.jsp#pdfimport [14:49] <[pablo]> mikepett: if there is, I don't know it... unless you enter interactive boot mode, which is a pain anyways [14:49] CuBiC: you can use xorg.conf to override HAL. Here is mine with laser mouse: http://pastebin.com/f593c59d [14:49] But I need to modify or write to a normal "paper" thats pdf [14:50] Ok, thanks [14:50] mikepett: could you teach your kids to login through GDM? [14:50] mikepett: You should be able to just bypass auto-login. If you specify a few seconds of timeout, and then you can start typing your own username, and it will stop the autologin... how are you doing it? [14:50] mikepett: and then disable auto-login === mouse_wired is now known as enzotib [14:51] hello [14:51] Boohbah: I could, but it's unnessary, I just like to make things as simple as possible. [14:52] mattcen: sounds like what Im looking for, where would I specify a few seconds of timeout? [14:52] How can i enable mysql to other pc's on my network, i've googled and got responses that tell me to edit files that dont exist. [14:52] <^Boy^> que es esta mierda de red [14:52] <^Boy^> xD [14:52] ActionParsnip: Thank you, i'll try to override, because HAL seems not to following my rules. ;) [14:52] !es | ^Boy^ [14:52] ^Boy^: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés.

[14:52] mikepett: you can specify the timeout in the login manager configuration, same place where you set it up [14:53] oi [14:53] hi i was wondering where i can find someone to port a 64bit linux driver to 32bit linux driver, [14:53] mikepett: Well, assuming you're using GDM (the default login manager for Ubuntu; I'm not sure of your technical knowledge so I'm going to start really simple :P), you can go to the System menu -> Administration -> Login Window [14:53] preciso de ajuda [14:53] !es | danilo__ [14:53] danilo__: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés.

[14:54] it just doesnt compile on 32bit [14:54] mikepett: Good luck! [14:54] parabyte: if its source you will compile 64bit drivers [14:54] i mean id be willing to make a donation to someone via paypal if they can get it running on 32bit linux === fred_ is now known as Guest18857 [14:54] ActionParsnip, hang on ill get the error message [14:55] http://www.vi2tu.net/uploads/angile2008_1.htm [14:55] rds.c:1: error: code model ‘kernel’ not supported in the 32 bit mode [14:55] does anyone have any experience with cairo-dock?

[14:56] i can see the light [14:57] et.sextracker.com [14:57] zebastian: KDE. GNOME began as an alternative to the restrictive QT license of the time.

I'm having unbearably slow graphics lately (I can almost watch the pixel lines beeing drawn). I've tried so much, but cannot figure out what's wrong..! [14:59] [pablo]: wheeewww. thanks again, computer wouldn't do anything! fixed! [14:59] <[pablo]> =) [14:59] parabyte: not sure, you'd have to contact the project to see what the deal is [15:00] yeah i have done, they not interested in the 32bit platform [15:00] parabyte: really? wow thats pretty poor [15:00] whats going on? [15:00] i know! [15:00] I presume it's some of these intel/MTRR issue I keep reading about. Could someone please explain that to me? [15:00] parabyte: ask them for help and say you'd be happy to make 32bit for them :D [15:00] 64 sorry [15:01] mamooli: Check out http://live.gnome.org/Gedit/Plugins#third_party [15:01] ill say ill amke em sloppy code [15:01] lol [15:01] whichever [15:01] hahaha === Cyrano_De is now known as _Cyrano_ [15:01] i.e., the AspireOne has 512MB RAM, which is shared with the video chip, right? now, the way the MTRRs are set is that they define a range of 256MB *beyond* 512MB, does that make sense?

[15:03] hey guys i have asked this question before here, and Kino was suggested many times I am looking for light and simple video editor for pretty much just making youtube vids....

Now my system is not storing the display setting of nvidia-settings permanently in /etc/X11/xorg.conf. everytime i reboot i have to change the setting.can anybody help me.

"gksu nvidia-settings" [15:03] preetam: Make sure that you start nvidia-settings as root when you want to change the settings, otherwise you don't have permission to change /etc/X11/xorg.conf [15:03] mattcen: the problem is i dont have such a folder [15:04] mamooli: Then create it.

Thus no way to install anything. [15:06] I take the laptop hard drive out of the laptop and connect it to my main pc using a IDE to USB cable, windows views it as an external hard drive.

[15:28] freenose, i suggest 8.04 server over others still [15:28] freenose: theres other ways to do a minimal 'desktop' without doing the server instgall [15:28] tj83_: I see, this is for a laptop [15:28] Dr_Willis: What other ways? [15:29] freenose, ah, so your still wanting a GUI just not gnome? maybe xbuntu? [15:29] freenose: what desktop do you want to use? [15:29] tj83_: openbox [15:29] Dr_Willis: no desktop, just a WM [15:29] freenose: a 'server' install has some sever specific tweaks you may not want. [15:29] error console on my ubuntu 8.10 always has warnings? === DkoNissper is now known as Chadwin [15:30] Balsaq: Error console for what? [15:30] freenose: you could always just install openbox and use it - on ubuntu... [15:30] Dr_Willis: I see, so.. how do you do a minimal desktop? [15:30] hmm ok [15:30] freenose: or xubuntu, since you will still want most of the gnome-related 'config/support/whatever tools' [15:30] I just install ubuntu, then install whateer window manager i want. [15:30] or several of them :) [15:31] Dr_Willis: This is an old machine with 10 GB hard drive :/, wanted to save space [15:31] 10gb is plenty. [15:31] I run ubuntu gnome on 4gb. [15:31] (pici)good question, nebie here, i was exloring my browser stuff and i clicked on "tools" and chose "error console" and wholly smokes i got tall these warnings about text, alignment...all kinds o ghtem got a few now [15:31] Dr_Willis: gnome takes up to much space [15:32] freenose: then remove the parts you dont want. You will want some of the gnome tools/config tools unless you really are going hard core. [15:32] tj83_: yeah, my bad, I should have said 'desktop' [15:32] freenose: if you dont like gnome, what about xfce? [15:32] will gnome 2.28 be added to any updates for juanty, or only for the 9.10 release? === roman is now known as Guest4371 [15:32] openbox :) [15:32] freenose, as acostello and Dr_Willis suggested give xbuntu a try [15:32] Dr_Willis: yeah, hard core, all CLI [15:32] !jeos [15:32] JeOS (pronounced "Juice") is Just enough Operating System. It is an efficient variant of the Ubuntu Server operating system, configured specifically for virtual appliances. See http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/serveredition/jeos for more information.

[15:33] freenose: i also saw work on (unsupported here) 200mb or so gnome-light variant [15:33] Dr_Willis: Yeah, I saw it, actually it uses openbox :) [15:33] wanted to go official [15:34] i think the error console is part of the firefox browser rather than 8.10 [15:34] Install ubuntu.. install oopenbox.. remove other junk. [15:34] thats the way to do it then [15:34] Dr_Willis: yeah, looks like it [15:35] Dr_Willis: I just hope I won't break much during uninstall ;) [15:35] !info swiftweasel [15:35] Package swiftweasel does not exist in jaunty [15:35] this is linux.. if you do.. you fix it [15:35] Balsaq, ya know the term "if it aint broke, dont fix it?" lol you said you were not experiencing trouble so i'd just roll with it :) and 8.10 is the least of all versions i trust to be stable [15:35] oh, [15:35] You arte not going to gain much space by removing stuff i imagine [15:35] xubuntu will be easier to remove :) [15:35] salu a tous [15:36] Dr_Willis, do you know which log files should I open to know the reason ubuntu restarts spontaneously? [15:36] tj83: i'm sure i agree with you but when you see them its like what the heck is that? [15:36] JeoTheLeo: not a clue. [15:36] ah [15:36] I'm having issues getting sound to start on 9.04, I pulled my soundcard out to see if it would recognize my onboard, but no deal. Any assistance? === roman is now known as Guest65914 [15:37] the best graphics card for linux is nvidia, right? [15:37] someone knows a firefox userChrome.css hack to change a 2px line that is appearing between menu and title bar? [15:37] WonderfunkJones, i assume you checked for muted channels? [15:37] most compatible etc? [15:37] i just want to ask if ubuntu/canonical would provide me with free Cd's in my country to promote there products, for free? also... and if yes how? [15:37] tj83: no need to take up anyones time on it, but i thought it might be an easy one...something dumb that everyone with experience knows aboout,apparantly not...no biggie [15:37] huwaw69, ask....go on ubuntu.com and ask the suppliers [15:37] Balsaq, yea sorry i really just dont know [15:38] tj83_: I know it's more than that, I don't think any sound device is loaded at all...I try to test ALSA/OSS and I just get errors. [15:38] tj83_: are new drivers backported to 8.04 server? [15:38] huwaw69: One moment.... [15:38] later [15:38] JeoTheLeo, do you know there e-mail address? i cant seem to find it in there site :D sorry [15:38] freenose, no [15:39] huwaw69: Here: https://shipit.ubuntu.com/ [15:39] tj83_: so 8.04.3 server is just updated packages? [15:39] WonderfunkJones, i would start with getting info from lspci and then google your specific hardware and ubuntu version, you will likely make some hits. [15:39] and bugs [15:39] http://www.ubuntu.com/aboutus/contactus [15:39] ill try this one vigo thanks [15:39] freenose, yes, security and major bug fixes [15:39] you know I believe I may have it disabled in the bios, I'll try that first.

You can use @reboot to tell it to run at boot. I'm not sure when cron is in the boot up, so it may make more sense to put your command in rc.local. [16:44] Hey, I've got version 8.04.1-desktop on disc and I'm planning on installing it to my desktop, but will I be able to update it to 9.04 from within Ubuntu. [16:45] system>>pref>>compiz mgmr [16:45] its not there [16:45] Pici: can i have multiple commands under crontab? [16:45] Alex_Brooks: You can, but you'll need to upgrade through 8.10 first. [16:45] riz0n: Sure. Generally you put one 'job' per line. [16:46] Pici, so I'll need to go from 8.04->8.10->9.04. [16:46] ok i am having the crontab execute under a secondary user. [16:46] Alex_Brooks: Yes [16:46] is there anything i need to do to specifically guide ubuntu to read this users crontab file [16:46] Okay thanks a Pici :) [16:46] type compiz inadd remove [16:46] type compiz and install it [16:47] jackson_, I did that [16:48] is compiz appearing in preferences then [16:49] ???? [16:49] Something eats my disk space in Jackalope, I boot with 60Gb free space and I already have just 9Gb free, I am just editing text files and not using any large file, but it happens anyway... Why could this happen? [16:49] nope [16:49] sysadmin: sys>prefs>appearance>visual effects <- set to extra [16:49] ed0n0n, what does df -h show you? [16:50] you can try dh -i [16:50] df -i [16:50] yeah already set [16:50] i observe the inertia of rest in the windows [16:50] right now %94 used [16:50] try that sysadmin [16:51] ed0n0n, df -h should show where the space is being used [16:51] Halitech: It happens with /dev/sda2 [16:51] ed0n0n: If you are using Gnome you can use the tool from Applications>Accessories>Disk Usage Analyzer to determine what is using up the space. [16:51] Does anyone know, how can i watch DVB-T with tv tuner Gigabyte U8000 in ubuntu 9.04? [16:51] ed0n0n, where is /dev/sda2 mounted? [16:52] in / [16:52] any more ideas [16:52] Tinkpad Lenovo [16:52] ed0n0n, ok, just as a guess, do df -h /var [16:52] (just a little fact: this system got a gma900 not a graphics card) [16:53] Halitech: /dev/sda2 83G 75G 4,5G 95% / [16:53] Hey guys I use a live CD session to open synaptic and mark all upgrades, then i generate a download script and run the script to manually download all of them. When I go into a fresh install and run "sudo dpkg -i *.deb" they all install ok I guess but I always have trouble with packages simaler to "language-pack-en_9.04+20090803.2_all.deb" the system always wants to download the same package even though I already have it. Does anyone know why? [16:53] Halitech: so some kind of logs can eat so much space? [16:53] how to solve ssh time out, when ssh client behind NAT router ? [16:53] (just a little fact: this system got a gma900 not a graphics card, if that helpez) [16:53] ed0n0n, yup, use natilus to go into the logs folder and see which one is getting big [16:53] janhaj: did the drivers for it get loaded?

[16:55] Halitech: /var/log is not using more than Mb, not Gb, so it doesnt seem to be the cause [16:56] Hi, the PDFs I download from Google Books show the text but not the images. Does anybody know why this is happening? (Kubuntu 9.04) [16:56] Halitech /var/ is using 1.7 Gb [16:56] ed0n0n, ok, use the same command ls -l /var and see if any large files show up there [16:57] (just a little fact: this system got a gma900 not a graphics card, if that helpez) [16:57] (just a little fact: this system got a gma900 not a graphics card, if that helpez) [16:57] (just a little fact: this system got a gma900 not a graphics card, if that helpez) [16:57] (just a little fact: this system got a gma900 not a graphics card, if that helpez) [16:57] sysadmin: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. === Swish[\] is now known as Swish [16:57] janhaj: you might need firmware for it run this dmesg | grep firmware [16:57] but something has "eaten" 20Gb since boot, and it is not in /var/ because its just 1,7Gb... i guesss [16:58] Hi I have set up my parents computer and they have some issues with it. I would like to be able to just take control of their computer from my house. Is there a way to do this on ubuntu? [16:58] (just a little fact: this system got a gma900 not a graphics card, if that helpez) [16:58] (just a little fact: this system got a gma900 not a graphics card, if that helpez) [16:58] (just a little fact: this system got a gma900 not a graphics card, if that helpez) [16:58] (just a little fact: this system got a gma900 not a graphics card, if that helpez) [16:58] (just a little fact: this system got a gma900 not a graphics card, if that helpez) [16:58] sysadmin: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[16:59] ed0n0n, ok, well only guess is to start looking at individual directories then and see ... there is an app that will show you in a graph but I can't think of the name right now ... disk usage analysis maybe? [16:59] metalf8801: do I need it installed on my machine and theirs or just mine? [16:59] whileimhere: there are several different kinds of VNC [17:00] I am scanning the whole filesystem with the Disk Usage Analyzer... Lets see... Any more ideas? [17:00] whileimhere: one sec let me find a link for you [17:00] in gnome the terminals can zoom in and out (text size) is there anything you can do to reduce text size in the tty1-6? [17:00] whileimhere, both on ubuntu? [17:00] Anyone here do manual package management such as homemade repos CD/DVD? [17:00] Halitech we are now both using Ubuntu [17:00] I replaced Windows on my parents comp this morning [17:00] ctmjr: i want send you dmesg..

[17:01] sdcurlee: The VTs tty1-6 (tty1-64 actually) are using the good old text mode by default - not graphics. You might try enabling framebuffer mode ('modprobe vesafb' or something), then it'll use graphics mode, in the screen's native resolution. [17:01] sdcurlee: Without framebuffer, they will always use 80x24. [17:01] ctmjr: thx http://paste.ubuntu.com/277202/ [17:02] whileimhere: the first thing I would try is this http://showmypc.com/ use the java version that works on Linux [17:02] grawity: i really appreciate this, i will try that. [17:03] When the RDP asks for the name of the computer and its not on my network how can I figure out what it is? [17:03] whileimhere: Use the IP address instead? [17:03] anyone know how to make `less` not wrap? [17:03] Halitech: I read this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7991873 and now I think it may be that I created a symlink to another ntfs partition, could that be doing something wierd? [17:03] oh well that I would need to go to their house to get anyways [17:03] They have no clue [17:04] sdcurlee: And there's this command 'setfont' - it isn't very useful in textmode (with all the limitations), but on framebuffer you can choose even the font size. [17:04] whileimhere: you don't think you could walk them though that on the phone? [17:04] metalf8801, thats only to view, software to show is windows only [17:04] lol you have to know my parents [17:04] siema [17:05] ed0n0n, not sure, it could [17:05] oh my bad [17:05] whileimhere, you should be able to use the IP address of their computer, are they behind a router?

[17:07] after an apt-get install freetds-common, should I not be able to run the tsql command? [17:07] ed0n0n: is it the chat program that is eating it? did you check top to see what is going on?

[17:34] Is it possible to change mode of someone's files being an administrator to read it? [17:35] zebastian: with wine yes, and if the nativ version comes out, that one can be installed too [17:35] holy: if you're an administrator, you don't need to change the mode to read it [17:35] ubuntu is cool [17:35] Anyone know how I might find the code behind the "Show Desktop" applet in awn?? I want to hotkey it in Compiz Commands [17:36] I've been searching for days lol [blush] [17:36] jrib: I sometimes can not access files in home directory of my previous installations.

What WM? [17:40] grawity: gnome [17:40] Halitech, I know. I have it lol. thanks though. I was simply stating a fact. I installed it in VM and it ran beautifully.

[17:40] grawity, it means Virtual Machine [17:40] baarìa [17:40] ooooooooh.. VM my bad [17:40] JohannesSM64: I guess you mean Metacity. Try holding Alt and pressing the middle mouse button, then drag. [17:40] Strife89: keyboard shortcut [17:40] vigo: ? how will that help me? [17:40] should have read that. [17:40] I already use vim and stuff :p [17:40] gOLDfeesh, ok, wasn't sure by your post [17:40] gOLDfeesh: WM, not VM. (And I wasn't asking what does it mean - I asked which one was used.) [17:40] jrib: Where should I go to set such a shortcut (or is one already set)? === [Hirnblaehung] is now known as |Hirnblaehung| [17:41] Strife89: have a look at yakuake [17:41] Strife89: system -> preferences -> keyboard shortcuts [17:41] grawity: that just makes the window lose focus [17:41] grawity, I know I said I found it lo. [17:41] Ian_: vim,vi and that app can be used to safely edit the cofig files, emacs is also a good one to learn.

I couldn't find a "language" option to set, however [17:42] well you're either a vim or an emacs person, generally [17:42] (if either) [17:42] vigo: i think you're confused, I know how to edit stuff, i just dont know what exactly to edit to make it system wide..

[18:03] Yeah I figured that much. [18:03] i want to add an item to the gnome menu "Applications->Programming" and i want to do it for all users. These users exist already and have a home directory. They have use the system before so . files could already be there [18:03] Hi. [18:04] loki_: Take a look at /usr/share/applications/ [18:04] Who has found GnoMenu to be useful? [18:04] i guess you're talking to me grawity ? [18:04] i added a app.desktop file there but that doesn't seem to do the trick. [18:05] Ian_: Yeah... tab-completion and sleepyness don't mix :( [18:05] StevenMyers: This channel isn't really for discussion, rather just for support. #ubuntu-offtopic is the general discussion channel for the Ubuntu irc community.

In my case, I do a lot of support. [18:07] I'm playing around on my SOHO LAN, and I'm trying to use gFTP to move some files around, but I'm getting connection refused messages. Do I need to install an FTP server on the boxes? [18:07] Anyway, #ubuntu-offtopic awaits. [18:07] * grawity wonders about Lemurian's nick. [18:08] Is there a way to start gnome with the panels hidden to the left (as if I've already pressed the left hide button)? [18:08] Pici, you need a new hobby. You are way to strict about IRC in for a contributor. [18:08] Ian_: Have you looked at the G-Script page is also Nautilus stuff? [18:08] janhaj: is your card usb? [18:08] StevenMyers: and you need to get some respect for how people choose to spend their free time ;) [18:08] grawity: It's based off of the word "Lemuria" [18:09] I'll remember not to join this channel in the near future. [18:09] urthmover: why not use autohide? [18:09] ctmjr: yes, gigabyte u8000 [18:09] G_A_C I do but he/she is a IRC lurker.

[18:09] :)] [18:10] danbhfive: I don't mind pressing the button when I startup but I'd rather it be automated [18:10] janhaj: can you close tvtime then unplug the card and then plug it back in then open tvtime and see if it finds the card [18:10] Pici: you do a lot of support? what sort of support?

Also when I install it will it include X-Server and a desktop or will it just install the CLI? I just want the CLI as I am making a MAME cab and do not really need a full blown desktop. Fluxbox would work fine.

[18:20] Lemurian: your question has nothing to do with ubuntu support - its getting annoying [18:20] I've tried resetting to default but it didn't work [18:20] cow9000, In fact, I use it myself. [18:20] ctmjr: cat: /dev/video0: No such device [18:20] xT|Fish: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1133719 [18:20] it says: 1) There have been reports of crashes having corrupted configuration files and sometimes more with Ext4 in use. [18:20] Stupid question here. I have NBR already on a thumbdrive and it works great to install. I used it to install to my new netbook! :) Very pleased. Now I was wondering rather than DL a server edition could I use the NBR to install to a PC and then just strip the desktop off after I install thus maybe saving 600mb of download? [18:21] in /var/log/gdm it says that there was an error in the ati driver [18:21] thx [18:21] janhaj: how about ls /dev/dvb [18:21] any idea what should I do to make x work again?

I don't want to reinstall linux, I've got everything set up perfectly... :( [18:22] danbhfive: Ive installed it no issues to my netbook. Would there be much of a difference in the installation? I did not know if it would even install to a desktop or if there was something super special about it like the differences between a 32 bit and a 64 bit version. [18:24] anywhere I can get the 'iw' package for ubuntu 8.04? [18:24] janhaj: ok the /dev/video0 is for analog and the /dev/dvb is digital your card supports both so do not know whats wrong it is loading the digital part but not the analog [18:25] Does anyone here have any experience with ubuntu netboot clients?

[19:10] void_pointer, technically, a colocated rented server that has been installed in 2005 should be moved over to new hardware anyway. [19:10] <[A]KangB> eggmanpete, we can start at 0... with another folder name, keeping /media/disk dead [19:10] Anyone know how to compile opensips in ubuntu? [19:10] what is the best strategy game in ubuntu? like workcraft [19:11] [A]KangB: i just saw your ls -la. the folder belongs to root [19:11] yacc, ok. Well, I only offered my experience and opinion. Feel free to do what you like, obviously :) [19:11] fotis, solitaire :D [19:11] is there a guru whos brain i can pick in a 1v1 chat session f for a few minutes? [19:11] <[A]KangB> ok eggmanpete thanks anyways :D [19:11] hi [19:11] hahahah [19:11] <[A]KangB> you too Tillotson [19:11] sorry :) [19:11] [A]KangB: have you tried making a folder in /media/disk ? [19:11] losher, but in the server install there is no gui for partitioning and there is no option for creating an "Extended Partition" [19:11] !pm | Gabe [19:11] Gabe: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [19:11] <[A]KangB> eggmanpete, of course [19:12] [A]KangB: as root? [19:12] <[A]KangB> eggmanpete, of course [19:12] heathkid: theres KIND of a GUI ... unfortunately it doesnt work for me [19:12] <[A]KangB> eggmanpete, as user isn't allowed, as root yep [19:12] lol [19:12] <[A]KangB> Wanna-Buntu, there's 2 ways to install... running live CD, doubleclicking on install... or selecting install at boot [19:12] does anyone know real if exist strategy game in linux? [19:12] i keep trying to run updates and am getting mixed messages from system On one hand it says updates are up to date on other hand it say it hasn [19:12] t been checked in 200 days [19:13] how to get Wicd working > 9.04. sees the network (another laptop with an open connection) but keeps displaying connecting and not doing anything [19:13] when i try and check updates i get error saying repositories aren [19:13] [A]KangB: ill go through and double check maybe i can get it to work [19:13] void_pointer, => well I concur with your opinion, it's just that I'd go even further. A colo-server that is that old, should get replaced anyway, as the probability of hardware failure starts to rise :( [19:13] [A]KangB: not read what Tillotson said, but did you 'sudo chown USERNAME /media/disk/' [19:13] t working [19:13] !info glob2 > fotis [19:13] <[A]KangB> eggmanpete, yep.. as root because 'disk' alows to root [19:14] Wanna-Buntu, indeed... I guess you could consider this a GUI but not like in the HowToPartition/ExtendedPartitiion section on the help.ubuntu.com site [19:14] <[A]KangB> nothing [19:14] is glob2 gME? [19:14] PsYcHoTiC_MaDmAn: Try #ubuntu+1 yet? [19:14] game? [19:14] yacc, yeah. Do you have that option though? [19:14] will try it now [19:14] fotis: Yes, real-time strategy game. [19:14] <[A]KangB> Wanna-Buntu, try the second one... select install on boot [19:14] \join #bash [19:14] [A]KangB: if you want write access you need to chown as your username [19:15] hi one question im unable to delete/change permission on some files on my usb drive, any ideas how to figure this out? [19:15] heathkid: if you have a live cd of a recent desktop system I suppose you could boot it and use gparted to partition your disk, then boot the server install and tell it to use the existing partition scheme... [19:15] <[A]KangB> eggmanpete, when mount or umount it... it returns to old values [19:15] <[A]KangB> eggmanpete, this folder is root, at only for root [19:15] fotis, warzone or something [19:15] losher, thanks... I'll try that [19:15] void_pointer, short term, no, as a project has to start rollout next week. middle term there is no other option, IMHO. 4 yrs for a server is good age to retire it. [19:16] <[A]KangB> eggmanpete, leave it... i will try later... thanks anyway :D [19:16] [A]KangB k [19:16] is there anything special i need to do, i have a printer port plug that allows a ethernet cable to be attached, how would i use that to get internet on my other [old] laptop? [19:16] fotis, wide lands [19:16] yacc, agreed. Anyway, we'll get an OT warning soon :) [19:16] is there a tech support chat room where i can talk with some experts? [19:17] OT warning? [19:17] lightness: ls -l, then sudo chmod 777, or something like that what the problem? [19:17] !offtopic | yacc :) [19:17] yacc :): #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [19:17] how do i fix repository error? [19:17] Gabe, Im a technical support :D [19:17] Gabe, but in HP :/ [19:18] Gabe: What error? Can you pastebin the text of it? [19:18] pici yes one moment plz [19:19] Could not download all repository indexes [19:19] The repository may no longer be available or could not be contacted because of network problems. If available an older version of the failed index will be used. Otherwise the repository will be ignored. Check your network connection and ensure the repository address in the preferences is correct. [19:19] hello [19:19] 'can anyone help me out with cairo dock it keeps wanting to start in the middle of the screen as in halfway up the screen [19:19] and its invisable [19:19] it downloads 115 files but doesn [19:19] t install them [19:20] I changed my ctrl-alt-delete key combination to gnome-system-moniter, and it worked for a while, but now it locks instead. please help. [19:21] Is there somewhere a list of Ubuntu security fixes that where released? [19:22] Hi (: [19:22] synaptic [19:22] Gabe: What version of Ubuntu are you using? [19:23] hardy heron 8.04.2 [19:23] yacc: you could poke around http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/. Dunno if that's what you're looking for... [19:24] whats the difference between sudo and su? [19:24] losher, just something to illustrate how many security updates there have been since 2007 ;) [19:24] server_side, su asks the root password, which is by default not set. [19:24] !su [19:24] sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) [19:24] yacc: that might do it, take a look... [19:24] server_side, sudo asks per default the authorized users password. [19:24] server_side: sudo does something as a given user su switchs to another user [19:24] max99 didnt work ,maybe a command to "format" the usb drive? [19:24] Gabe: you've done the usual sudo apt-get update ? [19:25] i [19:25] ahhh ok great [19:25] does anyone play games online in ubuntu and what games? [19:25] im total noob had this 3 days don [19:25] t know what [19:25] fotis, Savage 2 [19:25] i don [19:25] fotis, wicked game [19:25] t know what usual is yet [19:25] I use Ubuntu 8.10. I use Thunderbird as an e-mail client. While Thunderbird worked in the past correctly, now, each and every time I use it, it asks me for the e-mail addresses, etc. Why? [19:25] and what to do? [19:25] fotis: Guild Wars; Urban Terror but move this to #ubuntu-offtopic [19:25] erUSUL, su can run a command too. [19:26] erUSUL, and sudo -i gives you a shell. [19:26] losher: i dont know what usual is yet on this system am old windows user [19:26] Gabe: Takes abit of unlearning to learn, but read the forums. ALOT and it will help. [19:26] yacc: how would you have answered the question ? [19:26] erUSUL, the difference is the security architecture. su switches to another user asking that user's password. sudo asks your own password, and checks if you are authorized to do the switchover. === Guest36222 is now known as SecretAgentMan [19:27] anyone wanna help me? [19:27] sburwood: Thunderbird uses a profile folder (I forget of hand where) it must have changed. [19:27] erUSUL, on a default Ubuntu install su is worthless for root access as Ubuntu does not set a root password by default anyway. [19:27] sburwood: Try renaming ~/.thunderbird and ~/.mozilla-thunderbird [19:27] losher: got this error when i ran that command E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead. [19:28] renaming ... ? Wouldn't it be better to just uninstall and reinstall Thunderbird? [19:28] vigo: whats the best place to start? [19:29] Gabe: wanna pastebin the output so we can see exactly what went wrong? [19:29] thanks for the help (I'm not being sarcastic) [19:29] Gabe: switch mirrors ? [19:29] hi, I just loaded up ubuntu. Great operating system. I noticed on the network connection window there is an option to set up a vpn, but all the buttons are grayed out. How do I set it up? I just need to connect my system to another network across the INTERNET. My system is behind a router with a firewall. BTW it is amazing that ubutnu includes VPN. This is really a great operating system. [19:29] bye [19:29] sburwood:uninstall and reinstall Thunderbird? will just start a new profile [19:30] max99: No, it won't [19:30] SecretAgentMan, you need to get a package, which for the life of me i cant recall suddenly [19:30] SecretAgentMan, i had the same trouble, i will find out for you [19:30] Gabe: Look at the Ubuntu Forums, Absolute Beginner Talk is a good place. [19:30] max99: (Re)installing an application _never_ touches user's settings. [19:30] SecretAgentMan, i think it was openvpn [19:30] Thanks b3rz3rk3r I appreciate it. [19:31] SecretAgentMan: network-manager-openvpn or network-manager-vpnc [19:31] how can i find a good proxy for xchat and how it can be configured? [19:31] Gabe: http://ubuntuforums.org/ and http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?s=6302f6943d1d68fc8aaaefda3a953ab8&f=326 [19:31] grawity: max99: (Re)installing an application, Was muggling up moving Thunder bird, maybe, thank [19:31] Any idea why /etc/environment has LANG=en_US.UTF-8 but echo $LANG says LANG=C ??? [19:31] Boa tarde galera!!!! [19:31] geirha, thx [19:31] losher: are you there? got disconnected somehow [19:31] !games | fotis [19:31] fotis: Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php [19:31] <[A]KangB> eggmanpete, now it works... i restart after installing some apps... and now it works. i don't know why [19:32] hi, kde programs have fonts much smaller than gnome ones. How can I setup this from gnome? [19:32] Gabe: still here. I asked for a pastebin of the output from apt-get update so we can see exactly what goes wrong... [19:32] SecretAgentMan: Oh and network-manager-pptp for microsoft vpn servers [19:33] losher: how do i get a pastebin? dont know what that is? [19:33] markit: install qtconfig [19:33] !paste | Gabe [19:33] Gabe: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com (or !pastebinit for CLI) | For pasting !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin Please give us the URLs for your posts! [19:33] markit: System-Prefrence-Apperance [19:33] geirha: b3rz3rk3r, is it hard to set up? I really like linux, but I wish it was easer for not it professionals. ... of course it has really moved leaps and bounds over the last couple of years, thanks to ubuntu. [19:33] Anyone have experience with doing an install over a local network? [19:33] let's try, thanks (if I use kde font size are perfect) [19:33] Gabe: nothing to it. Just browse to http://paste.ubuntu.com, copy in your output & then tell us the url it gives you... [19:34] Geirha, we are only using ubuntu for the vpn, although there will be windows systems on the network, but they will not be on the vpn. [19:34] SecretAgentMan: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VPNClient [19:34] SecretAgentMan, yeah its really easy if you are familiar with basic networking configs [19:34] losher: one moment plz [19:34] can anyone help me figure out why when i launch cairo dock it will launch halfway up the screen so its in the middle of the screen insted of the bottem [19:35] does ubuntu (and compiz and dual monitors) work fine with ATI crossfire cards ? [19:35] SecretAgentMan, its got a GUI and as i recall most of it is pretty self-explanatory [19:35] b3rz3rk3r: not sure... if have the chops. [19:35] Anyone around have any experience with RT Kernel patch? [19:35] ok, will give it a try. [19:35] Now I have to ask questin: I have 160G hd, and OS is in one partition and second has all my personal data. How can i make this second partition (/media/disk) mounting automaticly at boot? [19:35] typo [19:35] SecretAgentMan: If the vpn servers are running ubuntu, then you likely want the openvpn one [19:35] SecretAgentMan, you'll be just fine, go for it. there is always the forums or #ubuntu when you get stuck ;) [19:36] losher: http://paste.ubuntu.com/277324/ [19:37] losher: is that correct? [19:37] aem-irc-a, you need to add the drive to /etc/fstab - research fstab [19:38] gah [19:38] Gabe: It's perfect. But it also looks like those servers are dell-mini specific? Sorry, I dunno much about them. There are only a few failures, and they may be temporary or unimportant. What are you planning to do next? [19:38] losher: am trying to send screen shot [19:39] losher: there are a bunch of updates am trying to get dl'd [19:39] losher: 115+ that won [19:39] Gabe: no need for a screen shot. I can see everything of importance from the apt-get output. [19:40] is there any downside choosing 64-bit Ubuntu over 32-bit? [19:40] losher: wont install k no prob how do i get those to update? [19:40] Gabe: what are you using to get the updates. Synaptic? [19:40] how do you enter programs in the Add/Remove list? [19:40] some thing don't work 64bit [19:40] !update | Gabe [19:40] Gabe: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [19:41] losher: i don [19:41] marcellus: 64-bit tends to be a bit less stable in my opinion, depending on which release. Unless you need more than 4GB swap space, it's not worth the bother... [19:41] losher: i don [19:41] when I start X with startx the monitor freezes and I cannot do anything. I've tried downloading the latest ATI drivers, installed them, ran aticonfigure --initial, but it still won't work [19:41] Vinceman: at the top there's a box you can type program names in. Just check the box and press "Apply" to install it. [19:41] losher: damn mini keyboard [19:41] I've tried using an old xorg.conf without success [19:41] losher: ok i don [19:41] yahooguntu, it's the search box? [19:41] and there are no errors in /var/log/Xorg.0 [19:41] RMS in his full glory: http://lolwat.net/?w=7e9770a3b73fa829ed766264a0c61a9c [19:42] what could be wrong? [19:42] heh [19:42] Gabe: slow down & try again... [19:42] i dont beleive it [19:42] Vinceman: Yes. It will search as soon as you type something [19:42] does anyone know how well the radeon HD 4570 works with ubuntu [19:42] eric-b: nerdvana [19:42] losher: thanks for patience ok i don [19:42] Vinceman: But you have to check the box next to the programs you want to install. [19:42] losher, you mean the pipe or the food or the hair? [19:42] or all of it! [19:43] i plan to install jaunty or karmic on machine with a radeon HD 4570 card [19:43] losher: dont beleive its synaptic also cant get firefox 3.5 to install [19:43] eric-b: the whole package. He'll make some extra-terrestrial very happy one day... [19:43] yahooguntu: it says There is no matching application available. [19:43] hah, you got that right [19:43] Gabe: ff35 has a special trick to it. [19:43] !ff35 | Gabe [19:43] Gabe: Firefox 3.5 Final is available for Jaunty by installing the package firefox-3.5 and firefox-3.5-gnome-support | FF3.5 is referred to as Shiretoko in your UI, see http://is.gd/1reB3 for an explanation | Hardy & Intrepid: http://is.gd/1jkNY [19:43] whats the command to verify if a useraccount already exists, for my case i wish to verify with a command if user nagios already exists? [19:44] nmvictor: id nagios &> /dev/null [19:44] losher: what does that mean when you put a ! in front of ff35? [19:44] nmvictor, id [19:44] nmvictor: you could grep /etc/passwd for an entry, and/or check /home/nagios exists, or something... [19:44] nmvictor: or maybe, 'getent passwd nagios' would be better. [19:44] id nagios is the better option [19:44] losher: It isn't always /etc/passwd. === zebastian is now known as register [19:44] Vinceman: next to the search bar there should be a drop-down menu. Select "All Available Applications". This will make it so that all software, including "unofficial" software, is available to install. === register is now known as zebastian [19:45] weird... when I use the my keyboard volume control knob, the volume goes up and down as it should according the the speaker volume indictaro on the taskbar, but he volume doesn't actually go up or down. Any ideas? [19:45] Gabe: Its a trigger for our channel bot ubottu, see its response to you above after losher used the command. [19:45] irc.darksin.net [19:45] Gabe: it means the channel bot has a recorded message on the subject. See http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi?search=partition [19:45] could someone help me fix startx? Everything else in linux works... I run it in console mode [19:46] and it says the graphics card works too... except the screen is black [19:46] csaba: What is the exact problem, and what distribution are you using? [19:46] csaba: And do you have an ~/.xinitrc? [19:46] grawity: that's true if using NIS etc. Please suggest a better recommendation... [19:46] losher: I already did, 'id nagios' or 'getent passwd nagios'. [19:47] csaba: If auto detection failed, you can always try configuring it yourself manually. [19:47] grawity: very good, I learned something new... [19:47] yahooguntu do you need to be logged in as root or something? [19:47] Hello, I have a problem running compiz. I have nvidia quadro nvs 140m. But when I'm watching movies and I do ALT+TAB the movie window starts to blink.. [19:47] ubuntu 9.04 and there is no .xinitrc [19:47] csaba: Either way, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 and go through the options to confirm the settings [19:47] grawity: eric-b losher thanks alot [19:47] csaba: Then you need to create one. startx uses ~/.xinitrc to find out what exactly to start. [19:47] mattgirv: I've tried dpkg-reconfigure and it didn't work [19:47] csaba: For example, you might put 'exec gnome-session' to .xinitrc (it is a simple shell script). [19:47] Vinceman: No, it'll ask you for a password when it's ready to install. What's the name of the program you're trying to install? [19:48] ok i'll try [19:48] can you give me a proxy so i can overcome the restrictions here? http://sounds.bl.uk/View.aspx?item=024M-1CL0005041XX-0100V0.xml [19:48] I use an alternative window manager; when I open gnome apps, gnome-settings-daemon gets started and switches themes and stuff; if I kill the daemon, everything is back except fonts (too big). How to revert that? [19:48] losher: so basically ff35 isnt available for my rig yet ... mentions jaunty but says heron has to stand by? how do i update to jaunty on a netbook with no optical drive? is it possible? [19:49] ok I've created the .xinitrc and wrote the exec gnome-session and it's again a black screen [19:49] mgv1: I suggest Tor. [19:49] it doesn't react to ctrl+alt+f1 so I cannot go back to console [19:49] losher: in your opinion where the best site for command lists and how to get a noob on his feet and walking if not running? === Nightwolf is now known as blubb === blubb is now known as Nightwolf [19:49] however, it does react to the on/off button [19:49] lemme try a reboot, weird [19:50] csaba: You said dpkg-reconfigure failed, what exactly did you type and what does it say/why does it fail? === root is now known as Guest34122 [19:50] mattgirv: it didn't fail, only after it startx didn't work as usual [19:50] i mean, it didn't fix it [19:50] grawity, i cound secced installing tor === Nightwolf is now known as blubb === blubb is now known as Nightwolf [19:51] hi people [19:51] I've tried autodetecting the keyboard and setting it manually [19:51] anyone know if there is a console (no gui) terminal that allows 'tabs'? (ie several terminals in one app, and the ability to switch between them quickly) [19:51] csaba: And you are 100% that your refresh rates are set properly [19:51] i need an advance [19:51] let me check [19:51] Blastur: 'screen' might be useful. [19:51] Because it does sound like an incorrect refresh rate/screen resolution [19:51] I changed my ctrl-alt-delete key combination to gnome-system-moniter, and it worked for a while, but now it locks instead. please help. [19:51] mattgirv: where should it be defined? in xorg.conf? [19:52] Gabe: I wouldn't update to Jaunty personally. It's not as stable as hardy. Must you have ff35 *today*. Most of us are managing just fine with 3.0.14 or some such. You can download a daily build if you absolutely cannot wait, but it might not be stable. As for best learning site, start here https://help.ubuntu.com/ and wander around... [19:52] is CompizConfig doing it? [19:52] because there's nothing about a refresh rate there [19:52] hi [19:52] grawity, yeah, though so too.. but how can i quickly swap between screen instances from a single connection? [19:52] anyone uses gwibber? [19:52] Why is it so hard to set up a vpn behind a firewall? I would think this is something that a lot of people need and the process would have been simplified. [19:52] csaba: Yes, /etc/X11/xorg.conf [19:52] Blastur: You don't need to - you can have several windows in a single instance. Basics: 'screen' to start a new session; 'screen -r' to reattach to an existing session; Ctrl-A, C to create a new window; Ctrl-A, A to switch between last two windows; Ctrl-A, N = next window; Ctrl-A, [0-9] = windows 0 to 9 [19:52] I've also tried deleting the xorg.conf and according to the logs, it tried to failsafe with vesa, but that failed as well [19:52] hello all [19:52] im so happy i solved my problem [19:53] but I don't think it's a driver problem, because the ubuntu startup animation works [19:53] grawity, cool,lemme try that [19:53] the splash screen i mean [19:53] csaba, whats goin on [19:53] Blastur: If you have 'screen' running, press Ctrl-A, then press 'c', and it'll create a new window. [19:53] startx is not working [19:53] grawity: eric-b losher How about checking if a group exists? [19:53] losher: endless gratitude and thanks to you sir/ma'am [19:53] what error is it giving you [19:53] nmvictor: 'getent group blahblah' [19:53] Can anyone suggest any goof backup software on Linux? [19:53] *good [19:53] Gabe: a pleasure to be able to help.... [19:53] losher: do you have an email where I might pick your brain further in the future? [19:54] Blastur: Ctrl-A, ? gives a short list of shortcuts. [19:54] hello to all [19:54] there is no error... according to /var/log/Xorg.0.log everything is perfect... but I get a black screen and can't do anything else... except the Power button, that works [19:54] is it a laptop? [19:54] yes === magnet_ is now known as magnet [19:54] Gabe: sorry, I only do support on-line as available. But there are plenty of others like me (some of them a darn sight cleverer) on tap for you here... [19:54] proibably just set to an external monitor, is there a hot button for that? [19:55] oh, maybe [19:55] losher: np still thank you. You [19:55] yahooguntu the Jin, FICS client [19:55] losher: you [19:55] let me check, I've got it today :) [19:55] grawity, great, this is exactly what i needed. cheers [19:55] hi all , i`ve upgraded to karmic, and now can`t even see the grub menu when booting how can i fix that [19:55] shakall69 : Please join #ubuntu+1 for Karmic/9.10 support/discussion. [19:55] ty [19:55] losher: youre the one that stepped up and made it happen for me today so put a gold star on your fridge cause you rock [19:56] btw, when is the next ubuntu LTS release schedule to release? [19:56] nmvictor: not sure it's a definitive test. Depends how accurate you need to be [19:56] Gabe: very cool, thanks... [19:56] Blastur, 10.4 [19:56] hmm can't find any buttons [19:56] april of 2010 [19:57] but it's dual boot and vista works fine, so I don't think it's switched to another moitor === zebastian is now known as zebastian|Away [19:57] I didn't do no such thing, except change the resolution... [19:57] but I'm not sure if that caused it [19:57] losher: might have missed it, what was the command?i had a lag over here so irssi reconnected automatically, mind giving me the command again? [19:57] ok, one of your buttons should have a picture of a monitor on it, |[ ]| look something like that, hold the fn key and push that [19:57] nmvictor: the consensus seemed to be the "id" command... [19:58] nmvictor: or to use 'getent...' [19:59] nmvictor: if you don't run anything fancy like NIS, a simple grep of /etc/passwd will probably be enough... [19:59] Holy hollywood. [19:59] llllllllllllllllllllllllll [19:59] there is such a button and I've tried pressing all the buttons like that, but it doesn't work [20:00] Massive list. [20:00] lewl. [20:00] if I press ctrl+alt+del shouldn't it restart? [20:00] nmvictor: For a user, 'getent passwd joe' [20:00] lo all [20:00] because it doesn't [20:00] nmvictor: For a group, 'getent group joegroup' [20:00] csaba: it is posisble that x.org is looking for anothe rmonitor itself, if that be the case just boot with a live cd and replace the xorg config file with the default one off the live cd [20:00] Is there a way to pull back a file that was removed using "sudo rm filename" [20:01] Xoop: Most of the time - no. [20:01] Korlis: I have 7 old xorg.conf's and I've tried using them all, even the failsafe, but it didn't work [20:01] Korlis: I've also tried deleting it... [20:01] I mean, I'm in console mode now [20:01] Xoop, there are undelete programs for ext2 filesystems, i think if you're using ext3 then you're out of luck... [20:01] that works [20:01] Xoop: in general, no. I don't suppose you have a backup...? [20:01] only when I write startx it dies [20:02] the keyboard stops reacting [20:02] however, the power button does work for some reason [20:02] it shuts down linux nicely [20:02] im trying to use conky but it keeps flickering [20:02] how can i change the perms of all files in one dir and set it as default for that dir? [20:02] grawity: losher : thanks [20:02] I have the problem that my truecrypt partition was filled up completely until 0 bytes. Now I deleted a few gigabyte of stuff from the partition but it still shows up as o bytes in Nautilus. What can I do to fix that? [20:02] csaba: have you tried alt+sysrq+k? [20:02] sysrq? [20:02] print screen [20:02] how can I temporarily convert a desktop ubuntu to a headless server, I assume I need to stop X from starting? [20:02] same button [20:03] diddy: Did you empty the trash folder? [20:03] Yes, I even deleted it. [20:03] csaba: delete all the config files, then just use the file off a live cd that should bring it back to default [20:03] diddy: Open a prompt and run `df -h`. [20:04] diddy: Check whether the "Use%" column agrees with Nautilus. [20:04] hey, does anyone know of a good graphics card that'll work in ubuntu for 2x 22" widescreen monitors? [20:04] dajhorn, /dev/mapper/truecrypt1 [20:04] 459G 438G 0 100% /media/truecrypt1 [20:04] csaba: if that dont work you can try booting into rescue mode from grub and choosing the fix x.org option [20:04] dajhorn, but for sure there must be a few gigbyte free [20:04] ok I was prssing ctrl+sysrq+alt+k and it printed out something :) [20:05] Unmount shoW-blocked-tasks [20:05] boss_mc: I usually just do 'sudo mv /usr/sbin/gdm /usr/sbin/gdm.orig' and 'sudo mv /usr/bin/nautilus /usr/bin/nautilus.orig'. Easily reversed... [20:05] dajhorn: There is, but it is probably reserved for the root user. (See how 459 is not 438, but you've got 100%.) [20:05] the keyboard is still dead [20:05] does anybody know the command to making the update manager stop popping up constantly [20:05] its getting real annoying [20:05] xi cant run any files on apache local host, forbidden any ideas? [20:05] losher: does that drop it to command prompt? [20:05] csaba: you dont need ctrl, just alt, what it does is give the keyboard control again and kills all processes and logs you out [20:05] Nvidia supports ubuntu natively, right? [20:05] So I suppose I can't use the gflrx drivers for the ati radeon 9700 (mobility) ? [20:06] losher: and will that run without a graphics card? [20:06] diddy: Do you run your system out of /media/truecrypt1? Or it is just for stuff. [20:06] dajhorn, just backup stuff [20:06] ah it did log me out! [20:06] cool at least I didnt have to restart [20:06] boss_mc: it definitely will drop to the command prompt if you reboot. A restart alone might not do it... [20:07] ok in the old console tty1 I got an error from the ati driver [20:07] losher: cheers, I'll give that a go... [20:07] diddy: Is the /media/truecrypt1 filesystem ext2/ext3/ext4? [20:07] fglrx: No matching Device section for instance blahblah found giving up. [20:07] ext3 [20:07] dajhorn, ext3 [20:07] boss_mc: I'm not 100% sure it will come all the way up without a graphics card. Anyone? [20:07] csaba: ooooooo, if you had said you had ati i woulda just said this from the beginning [20:08] csaba: uninstall the ati driver [20:08] how? [20:08] aleron: Disable automatic updates via settings on the update manager. [20:08] csaba: with apt, i dont know the package name [20:08] apt-get remove fglrx? [20:08] losher: there will be the onboard graphics [20:08] csaba: ati sucks with linux [20:08] diddy: You can get that 20GB back by doing this: $ sudo umount /media/truecrypt1; sudo tune2fs -m 0 /dev/mapper/truecrypt1 [20:08] ok so after I uninstall it, then what? [20:09] csaba: i had a friend with a similar problem i just had him return the ati and buy nvidia [20:09] boss_mc: should be fine then. It's just that some modern mobos won't boot without a graphics card.... [20:09] csaba: reboot [20:09] diddy: Double check the device names, and answer "no" if it says something scary like "are you really sure?". [20:09] aleron: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/904#Change%20in%20notifications%20of%20available%20updates [20:09] csaba: i gott ago leave me a message if you still need help [20:10] delete xorg.conf first? or replace it with xorg.conf.failsafe [20:10] ok thanks [20:10] dajhorn, you are brilliant! [20:10] Now I am at 21GB! Thx so much! [20:10] losher good point, well, I know this one will boot into windows without one, so I'd assume it will work with ubuntu [20:10] diddy: Np. [20:10] boss_mc: yep, should work just fine. Good luck... [20:11] cheers [20:11] dajhorn, :) [20:12] Korlis: it works!!! thanks alot man, I was working on this for 4-5 hours! :)) [20:12] im on a laptop; the built-in sound-card does not work (hardware failoure), and i have a external usb sound-card, that worked perfectly the first time i put it in while running ubuntu, but when i took it out and in again, it wont play anything with the usb sound-card (i do find the card on Volume Controll tho, and i know its all plugged in correctly etc because it ran with my other OS (XP) [20:12] what do? [20:12] is there any software to help you with the teerminal like commands that can be saved ,alias etc? [20:13] Is it possible to change my locale from UTF8 to LATIN1? [20:13] Vinceman: That's a Java applet. It runs within your browser. All you need to install is the Java Runtime Environment. [20:13] Hiall: It is, but why would you want to do that?

It keeps getting reset when i cahnge it. Using gnome [20:15] losher: how can I shut it down now? [20:15] losher: sudo shutdown now goes to the recovery menu [20:16] hey how do I get my swap to turn on, on boot? [20:16] server_side: if I understand what you're asking, the terminal runs a program called bash, which has a truly enormous number of features available, including the ability to create command aliases. start with 'man bash' and your eyes will cross. Maybe see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CommandlineHowto [20:16] thanks [20:16] my swap partition was reverted to a NTFS partition, so I used gparted and changed it to a swap partition.. but I have to turn it on manuall via sudo swapon /dev/sda7 [20:17] afallenhope: Usually swap partitions are added to /etc/fstab [20:17] grawity, for some reason it wasn't in there [20:17] UUID=blahblah swap swap defaults 0 0 [20:17] boss_mc: that doesn't sound right at all.

[20:19] i have 2 boots and i want to put on the second boot [20:19] losher: can do [20:20] !dual-boot [20:20] afallenhope: Yes, if the swap partition has been part of a partition move/resize or similar, it has likely been recreated, which changes the uuid [20:20] Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [20:20] whats the name of the group virtual box creates during installation?

Anyone has some idea what to try? [20:27] toxica, dont touch the ntfs partition [20:27] it tells me before you can select a new partiton size any previous changes have to be written to disk , You can't undo this operation , please note that resize operation may take a long time [20:27] PSP: I would guess making it executable (chmod +x ) then doing ./ [20:27] GO BACK or Continue === vigo is now known as Guest62209 [20:27] toxica, did you select side by side?

[20:27] i have one empty and one full [20:28] im about to chose it [20:28] but it tells me that words so i want to get sure [20:28] toxica: Ubuntu can't install on windows partitions. The best thing to do is to remove the empty partition, and let ubuntu create its own [20:28] toxica, ok, be careful and choose side by side and let ubuntu do the rest [20:29] toxica: You can do that with the manual partitioning [20:29] toxica: in the Ubuntu installer [20:29] I just performed a Port Scan on my laptop and found 7 ports open. How do I find out what processes have opened those ports?

[20:31] MenZa, I do not ... but I have a home dir [20:31] not working [20:31] losher: any other ideas? [20:31] grawity: Yes, but clearly, since toxica has a whole empty partition at hand, a proper install is the way to go [20:31] MenZa, yeah I have one / [20:31] I mis read your q [20:32] linuxguy2009: waht is "not working"? [20:32] what [20:32] sorry wrong window. [20:32] Right. I suggest you copy your entire /home directory over to a different medium, install from scratch, this time creating a seperate /home partition over. You can then move the info onto that partition. The upsides to having a seperate /home partition is that you can just install a fresh system on the / partition, and all your files and settings remain intact. [20:32] @ Whitor, pardon me for that [20:32] toxica, lets us know what happens [20:33] geirha, wubi uses ext3 fs I beleive.

[21:36] whats to keep any process with user access from poping up something looking like an update window and getting your root password?

Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines. Enjoy your stay! [21:37] I was wondering if there was a way to make ubuntu look smaller. I dont have much of a resolution, and everything looks HUGE! [21:38] okey.... does someone of you know ha i can cange the login manager in console? [21:38] dbugger: Ok which graphics card? [21:38] Intel === NorwayGeek is now known as NorwayGeek|Away [21:38] dbugger: hmm [21:38] dbugger: lspci | grep -i vga will tell you [21:38] change the theme? [21:38] dbugger: so there probably isn't a driver you can install for it [21:38] Is booting with acpi=off bad from a power-saving perspective? [21:38] make the panels smaller? [21:38] Oh no! that's on my other laptop :D [21:39] ATI Technologies Inc RC410 [Radeon Xpress 200M] [21:39] dbugger: ok Intel not ATI hmm [21:39] dbugger: See if there's a driver you can install for it system > administration > hardware drivers [21:39] dbugger, using 9.04? [21:39] Yeah, i have the max resolution allowed by my comp, but the default Ubuntu theme looks kinda big. I'd like to have a smaller theme [21:39] dbugger: above I meant to put, ok ATI not Intel hmm [21:40] mmmm, maybe Im not explaining myself well. it's not a "config problem" [21:40] Everything looks ok [21:40] anyone know if http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=766381 will work on kernel version 2.6.28 [21:40] It's just that it's a little "unbearable" to work, as an IT enginner I am, with these settings [21:40] dbugger: I thought you said things were to big? and you hardly had any resolutions to choose from, well installing the driver for cards tends to mean more resoloutions on Ubuntu, or so it seems [21:41] hey you guys in here helping out: I just wanted to say thanks! for taking your time to provide good answers to everybody's problems [21:41] sebsebseb, I have the same resolutions list I get in windows, so Im guessing it's quite right [21:41] what option should one pass to read to make its display the charactes the user types with the keyboard? [21:41] i'm having trouble installing flash on a laptop with an amd sempron system. [21:41] But windows has a "small theme" [21:41] I'd like to get one of those [21:42] I have 1280x720, I know a lil crappy, but I'd like to make the most out of it [21:42] dbugger, check in System - admin - appearances and see if you can change the font and icon size [21:42] quantumlemur: Yes that's what some of us do here, help others with Ubuntu [21:43] dbugger: i know how to make firefox super thin [21:43] quantumlemur: and unfortunatly no one that helps in here, can help with most problems, or so it seems [21:43] dbugger: you could set the default icon size to teeny-tiny [21:43] I dont see any way to reduce icon size [21:44] on m$ it get's to inet thru dial-up . on config modem has 'encapsulation: RFC 2516 PPPoE' [21:44] ActionParsnip, I abandoned firefox for Chromium :) [21:44] now THAT's super slim :) [21:44] But now flash is enabled by defualt [21:44] Redundant_Userna, doesn't look like sane is supporting that machine yet http://www.sane-project.org/cgi-bin/driver.pl?manu=brother&model=290&bus=any&v=&p= [21:45] Thanks anyway.

[21:46] harushimo, http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/page/Main_Page [21:46] its not my browser of choice but I have no choice in this matter. they are probably running a asp script [21:47] dbugger: you can right click the icons on desktop and adjust size as you like [21:47] I want to reduce the " : rescheduling interrupts" wakeups on my laptop. How can i do this? [21:47] Gabe: I use this: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/usb-ubuntu-904-persistent-install-windows/ [21:47] ActionParsnip, resizing every single icon doesnt seem very approchabe [21:47] dbugger: true [21:47] besides I want to shrink the whole OS appearance [21:48] not just the icons in the desktop [21:48] I try a new theme in emerald [21:48] I see some desktops with 10.000 icons and i get so jealous. I know they have barbaric resolutions, but still feels like more could be done with the one I have [21:48] *I'd [21:49] Or go to Preferences -> Appereance [21:50] I alredy checked the configuration of gnome... not many good options there [21:50] gnome lacks quite a lot in configuring [21:50] dbugger: you can check in system -> prefs -> appearence [21:50] dbugger, anyone that has 10,000 icons on their desktop probably spends more time looking for things then actually working on the computer [21:51] dbugger: if you click interface tab you can make stuff be icons or text only rather than both [21:51] Hi... the driver guide for my touchscreen says that double taps can be prevented by adding a section to xorg specfiying what is the "real" mouse. This doesnt seem to work. Any ideas? [21:51] Halitech, but it's quite nice for code developing :) [21:51] can you help me? [21:51] does ubuntu need to defrag? [21:51] no, I don't think so. [21:51] dbugger, then use launchers and drawers to organize things [21:51] ActionParsnip, again, what im looking is to make the whole OS appearance smaller. Not just some items [21:52] Change the text size [21:52] tehbaut, it will in a few dozen years but not on any kind of basis like windows does [21:52] I still want it to feel consistent and "as one" [21:52] use compiz to zoom uit [21:52] out [21:52] Use a different theme [21:52] dbugger: openbox has a nice thin window decorator [21:52] tehbaut: no, not really. Ubuntu uses a file system that is far more resilient to defragmentation than that used by Windows (NTFS) [21:52] Halitech: didn't think so... ok [21:52] I'd wish not to have to change my windows manager [21:52] hi [21:53] the Vera.ttf that comes with Ubuntu is the Bitstream Vera, right? [21:53] Enlightment was pretty nice, though... [21:53] how about a window utility like win7, where it can dock to windows to half-screen? anyone seen any thing like that? [21:53] maybe I missed something. How do I get the newest drivers for my new evga gtx260, using 64 9.04?

[21:54] fox: its beta but will also allow you to install the 185 f its no good [21:54] ((((( ActionParsnip )))))) [21:55] OK how to I use gparted to combine two partitions that are not next to each other?

[21:56] My file system has turned read-only on me, how can i fix that? I cant change back my fstab [21:56] like layering/merging to your root (/) [21:56] sorry for poor English. how can i better explain my problem? [21:57] Za: lkm? Linux kernl machine or something? [21:57] nex__: boot to livecd or root recovery console and run an fsck on the partition and/or edit the fstab on your partition [21:57] sebsebseb, i don't know look the log of chkrootkit [21:58] Za: yes I did [21:58] ubuntu doesn't have a chkdsk program for ntfs usb drives, right? is there a bootdisk or something i can use besides a whole windows os to check a ntfs usb drive? [21:58] Za: and why arey ou doing a scan anyway? [21:58] thank I got the application working [21:58] bye [21:58] I am planning to build a machine that will serve as (media center/torrent/nat gateway) what ubuntu should I use server or desktop ? [21:58] can some1 help me wtih me chm2pdf [21:58] Za: also you probably don't have it, unless you installed it yourself, or you got cracked [21:58] i can't understand why when i change ip dos attack don't stop [21:59] x-kent, how familiar are you with the command line? [21:59] Can someone tell me how to setup my printer so that my laptop recognizes it as a network printer using a GUI? [21:59] x-kent: if you can configure it in server it will be more responsive, transmission and rtorrent can all run as daemons [21:59] Za, do you have a router? [21:59] no [21:59] only a modem [21:59] Halitech, I am ok with command line, but I will need X installed so it will display movies fotos to a TV that will be connected by VGA cable [21:59] my clock and task bar have crashed, how do I restart them? I'm using GNOME [22:00] Za: Ok whatever OS your running if it's Internet connected you should have a firewall [22:00] !firewall | Za [22:00] Za: 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 [22:00] x-kent: Mythbuntu will probably be your best bet. [22:00] hiya, does anyone know how to get in contact with the package maintainer for the volume icon in the system tray? karmic seems to have change scrollwheel sensitivity to adjust volume by 1% instead of the 5% of the previous release. [22:00] hi, i'm trying to do "airmon-ng stop ath0" but it says "Run it as root". why? [22:00] x-kent: sounds like you want desktop then === WhiteFate is now known as BlackFate [22:00] sebsebseb, i'm using firestarter [22:00] Hello what is the package what will take over make install and install you compiled software as a deb? [22:00] mgv1: sudo airmon-ng stop ath0 [22:00] x-kent, then unless its getting heavy usage, might as well go desktop or myth [22:00] checkinstall? [22:01] Za: what you mean when you change IP something happens? [22:01] yes thanks :) [22:01] dracnoc, gonna read about that distro, I know nothing about it [22:01] SeekerNL: stow? [22:01] purpzey: is the printer a network printer or is it attatched to another system or do you want to share the printer? [22:01] can some1 help me with converting a chm to a pdf [22:01] dajhorn no checkinstall I meant [22:01] ActionParsnip: The printer is attached to my desktop and I want to be able to print from my laptop (on the same network). [22:01] Halitech, I just gave up installing debian, so now will try my luck with ubuntu [22:01] a lot of icmp packet on my pubblic interface [22:01] always [22:01] purpzey: what OS is the desktop running? [22:02] Za: By the sounds of it you might actsaully have something bad on there, and so the only way to make sure that is truely removed is to re install the OS. [22:02] ActionParsnip: Both are Ubuntu. [22:02] x-kent: Mythbuntu has a multimedia front similar to many digital TV systems (such as TIVO or Sky), but with many optional extras, plus it's a Ubuntu box underneath the hood, so you can add as many tools as you need. [22:02] when i try to nmap source segmentation fault [22:02] hello [22:02] ==[ HELP ]== - Does anyone know what the newest installer is for Ubuntu that is suiteble to install on a IA64 (Itanium) system?

[22:02] anyone running ubuntu 910 on a usb stick? [22:02] purpzey: you can install samba and share it that way [22:02] sebsebseb, i hope so [22:03] can some1 help me with converting a chm to a pdf [22:03] purpzey: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=163882 [22:03] ActionParsnip: I thought that there was some simple GUI way to do it? from System, Admin, Printing...I thought I read a Howto a while ago.

[22:03] purpzey: you can also connect direct to the cups system of the desktop [22:03] Casper1: try kchmviewer and print as pdf [22:03] Za: Remember none of these are 100% immune from malware, Windows, Linux distros, or Mac OS X, as well as other OS's such as BSD. This is why you should buy a hardware firewall or at least a router, since those are meant to offer better protection than software firewalls. [22:03] dracnoc, yea, googled it and already downloading an image [22:03] purpzey: if you right click the printer you will be able to share it there, i believe that will use samba [22:03] aroth: is that a program or a command? [22:04] thanks sebsebseb [22:04] ActionParsnip: Ok, thanks, I will check those out. [22:04] can someone confirm that the keyserver.ubuntu.com is quite slow at the moment? [22:04] can some of you help me understand how to get the ubuntu advanced desktop mode?...thanks [22:04] purpzey: the page I gave gives a more graceful pure linux way rather than using samba, if you DO use samba then windows systems will be able to use the printer too [22:04] tomorrow i'm going to reinstall my ubuntu [22:04] Casper1: kchmviewer is a program. It's a viewer for CHM files for KDE [22:04] aroth: ok ill give it a shot [22:04] x-kent: XMBC is another media frontend you might want to look at. There's a build espically for Ubuntu boxes. Very nice GUI. [22:04] rb [22:04] Za: If you do in fact have that type of malware on there, I guess someone got into your computer and put it there, or you did it yourself? ,but why would you? [22:05] x-kent: sorry, XBMC [22:05] Tastefull, I don't see any version that is specifically for IA64 [22:05] hello,,,, can some of you help me understand how to get the ubuntu advanced desktop mode?...thanks [22:05] !info xchm | aroth [22:05] sebsebseb, i use only synaptic with official repository [22:05] aroth: xchm (source: xchm): Compiled HTML Help (CHM) file viewer for X.

[22:06] shawn_: try the command: free [22:06] Za: you should learn about Linux firewalls :) iptables, firestarter, gufw etc, and buy a hardware firewall or at least a router that has one [22:06] I think newill is trying to ask about sudo [22:06] shawn_: look for it in hwinfo or install conky [22:06] I have now the easy mode and I would like to pass to full desktop mode [22:07] newill: oh you are on an eeepc arent you [22:07] thanks sebsebseb good night [22:07] yep :D [22:07] anybody know how to bypass school security so i can get on an efnet server?

[22:11] Is there any reason why if I setup a command in sudoers with the NOPASSWD option that I would still be asked for a password? [22:11] shawn_: 64 bit I got , did you check the specs of that mobo ? [22:11] ActionParsnip it was in the settings for monitor [22:11] it's working :) [22:11] why does update manager launch itself automatically after every package install, this wasnt the case in intrepid [22:12] ActionParsnip the settings you pastebinned work like a charm [22:12] DasEi... A guy in hardware named Beelsebob checked the motherboard for me and he says both my CPU and motherbaord support 64 bit [22:12] razor_X: yeah some monitors dont talk to the system to tell it what it can and cant do, so yu have to tell the system yourself [22:12] ActionParsnip, can i pm u ? [22:12] it say: impossibile to find desktop-switcher [22:12] ActionParsnip i appreciate your help and patience on the matter [22:12] razor_X: i have a CTX 17" thing the same, I have an xorg.conf file that has worked for YEARS that I keep on backup and I just restore it if i do a clean install [22:12] Abdo: sure [22:12] shawn_: but how much ram ? 4 banks on 965 ?

[22:14] shawn_: you have too many, give me some. :) [22:14] Hey does anyone know how to affect window opening order in metacity? I usually open several terminal windows at once. KDE uses smart placement and so does Gnome when effects/compiz is enabled. Let's say you opened first in top left corner, the next will open in top right, the next in bottom right. But regularly in gnome, windows just open on top of the last one and just a bit lower to show the title bar. Any idea how this can be changed? I [22:14] hi guys [22:14] anyone here familiar with shoutcast and what can i use as a DJing program to connect to shoutcast in linux [22:14] razor_X: no worries now, install driver and restore file then reboot, quick and easy [22:14] I made on terminal: sudo apt-get install desktop-switcher..... and it said : impossible to find desktop-switcher [22:14] DasEi: Well what it says is Memory Channel A: Slot 0 1024 MB, Slot 1 2048 MB...... And the same for Memory CHannel B [22:15] Casper1: i don't have any CHM file at hand, but u should be able to print all pages as well. Or u might try xchm as suggested by others [22:15] i'm lookin for to make my personal distro but i don't know WTF to use ubuntu costom. kit and i've got a bug on my head [22:15] liveD: you can remaster the ubuntu iso [22:15] razor_X: try djplay [22:15] shawn_: so wrong paired, put the 1 and the 2 next to each other [22:15] dracnoc thank you is it free? [22:15] razor_X: yes [22:16] ActionParsnip, and how can i do it [22:16] razor_X: it runs through icecast [22:16] DasEi: OHHH the two same ones should be right next to eachother and not in the same colours? [22:16] dracnoc do you have a link handy and i dont know how to use icecast [22:16] If it helps, lspci outputs "02:01.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 02)" [22:16] how to chainload grub 2 in grub legacy? [22:16] shawn_: check in bios if unsure [22:17] DasEi: Should I have the two same ones in the same memory channel or in the same slot number thing [22:17] anyone know where ubuntu stores its key bindings for sound / volume control? [22:17] OK the ubuntu 9.04 64 bit cd passed the burn test. it installs just fine. but ubuntu randomly freezes when I am using it. i7 920 6gigs kingston 1600 ram. [22:17] razor_X: I'm a bit rusty, but this worked for me: http://www.gnuware.com/icecast/unofficial/ [22:17] does ubuntu compile xine with vpdau? [22:17] Is there any script to maximize all volume settings? [22:17] is there a java deb that i can grab to bring my stystem up to the best java? [22:18] razor_X:Just run sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre [22:18] jeremybub thank you will do [22:19] jeremybub it says i am running the latest java yet frostwire still will not work for me [22:19] razor_X: how does it not work? [22:20] OK the ubuntu 9.04 64 bit cd passed the burn test. it installs just fine. but ubuntu randomly freezes when I am using it. i7 920 6gigs kingston 1600 ram. the i7 is supported isn't it? [22:20] Something went wrong with FrostWire. [22:20] Maybe you're using the wrong version of Java? [22:20] \ [22:21] razor_X, did you install from the repo or from a download from their site? [22:21] Well, you are using the most up to date sun version. Perhaps something else wen't wrong. [22:21] wow, is Frostwire still running? Haven't used that in years [22:21] *went [22:21] halitech from the frostwire site [22:21] razor_X, maybe it needs a newer version of java then is in the repo [22:21] shawn_: I'm overasked there, for usual 0+1 is one pair, the info about colour makes me think, too, get a manual of your board and look up, also you can use live cd to check the ram for defects, before check if bios sees them [22:22] halitech i am running the latest java [22:22] razor_X, from the repo, correct? [22:23] uh [22:23] ok, who's trying to send me a keylogger from 76.73.16.26? [22:23] halitech yeah [22:23] I would bet the java version is not the problem. [22:23] Anyone know how i would edit the commands in /usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/commands.cfg to use /usr/bin/mailx rather than the default /usr/bin/mail as defined in the file. [22:23] A file named "startkeylogger" is being sent to you from FreenodeUser. This file is Zero bytes in size. [22:23] Yeah, someone tried to send me a keylogger too. === lukjad007 is now known as ShadowChild [22:23] they sent the message to the channel, not individual people [22:23] same joe75 [22:23] joe75: same [22:23] jeremybub: snap [22:23] morons :p [22:23] Some routers using idiotic statefull packet injection will disconnect the user when receiving that command [22:24] <^mNotIntelligent> hi all ! [22:24] wtf? [22:24] Isn't there anything I can do to restore fstab on a read-only filesystem? [22:24] actually, they crash [22:24] Having problems with xsplash in jaunty: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1274569 [22:24] that's gettin annoying with those spammers sending out keyloggers [22:24] please reply to the thread, as I will be leaving from this room [22:24] I got the file, too [22:24] But why do they send them? You still have to run it... [22:24] morons... [22:24] nex__: boot to livecd and change the file and/or fsck the partition [22:24] do they even run on linux? [22:24] sheepsy1, if you have one of the affected routers its firewall will drop your connection when it sees that packet. [22:24] so everyone leaves the channel [22:25] * ^mNotIntelligent possibly yes [22:25] boscop: is it a win32 binary? [22:25] ActionParsnip: Snap? [22:25] does anyone know where gnome / ubuntu physically stores the keybindings for volume up / down (ie, not the keyboard preferences gui, the actual configuration file / registry section)? [22:25] jeremybub: i got offered the same file. Did you ever play snap with cards? [22:26] ActionParsnip: I don't know since he went offline before I could receive it [22:26] hi, does anyone can help me with what to do when i get "Run it as root" in the terminal? [22:26] hi everyone, I was using an old Belkin PCI 802.11g and was getting lots of d/c and high latency in windows (it was a bit better in Ubuntu but 60% signal strength at 1MB/s). I just installed a TL-WN951N and I have 130mbps "Very Good" in Windows. I just booted into ubuntu and it autodetected a working driver and connected at 1mb/s at 48% signal. [22:26] ActionParsnip: No, I don't know that game. [22:26] it was a 0bytes file [22:26] so i suppose it wont do shit :d [22:26] Buffer underflow! [22:26] Why can't I change the sample rate in JACK to 44100? It perpetually stays at 16000, and that's not okay. :p [22:26] mgv2: sudo or what do you mean? [22:26] yeah very leet exploit. [22:26] Hello. how can I stop Ubuntu from sending me messages through the command line? [22:26] It owns Intel based software whatever it is [22:26] cpu exploit [22:27] someone sent me that StartKeyLogger too [22:27] mgv1: add "sudo" (without the quotes) to the start of the command, i.e., - sudo apt-get install sauerbraten [22:27] * David-T sighs [22:27] so I'm ping -f his IP address [22:27] such as "Reloading /etc/samba/smb.conf" [22:27] bitplane ping -f doesnt make that much traffic [22:27] boscop, do i need to type sudo before "airmon-ng stop ath0"? [22:27] use hping2 in its fast flood mode, send syn packets to an open port [22:27] mgv2: yes [22:27] if everyone does it it will [22:27] Anyone here use a sata pci card, that they can confirm works under linux? (non-raid) [22:27] but dos is illegal [22:27] ActionParsnip: is the i7 architecture supported under Ubuntu 64? [22:28] Can anyone tell me why I can't change the sample rate in JACK to 44100? It perpetually stays at 16000, and that's not okay. :p [22:28] yes [22:28] its pointless anyway, he can just change his ip if it would do something [22:28] he can tell my mum then === hone_ is now known as hone [22:28] what is that +J mode? [22:28] Fox: should be. not 100% sure [22:28] boscop, i will try [22:28] Ubuntu keeps popping up this message "Reloading /etc/samba/smb.conf smb only" [22:28] sytem-7, how do you mean? during boot? === ShadowChild is now known as lukjad007 [22:28] No, all the time [22:28] I have jaunty running on 4 i7 machines [22:29] This is in the command line BTW, im not running X [22:29] boscop, thank you [22:29] sytem-7: have you installed samba? [22:29] Does anyone else know if the i7 is supported in ubuntu 64? [22:29] MikeH, I have a sata card [22:29] Can anyone tell me why I can't change the sample rate in JACK to 44100? It perpetually stays at 16000, and that's not okay. :p [22:29] it works 100% [22:29] SiliconImage based one [22:29] IDK, i didn't specifically install it, unless it came w/ Ubuntu [22:29] does anyone can tell what does this command really do if isnt stopping the wireless connection? " airmon-ng stop ath0 " [22:30] 0,99$ from dealextreme [22:30] it stops the monitor interface connected to ath0 [22:30] !who | Nin12 [22:30] Nin12: 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 :) [22:30] sytem-7: no it doesnt [22:30] Some one pointed me at /etc/syslog.conf, but commenting out some lines about sending messages to the command line didn't help [22:30] <_iTroll> hey guys, X wont start for me on latest karmic on a lenovo s10e (intel mobile 915), anyone know how to diagnose?

I want to dual boot it with Windows XP, but I have issues with my XP install. Namely, I can't do anything with it because of a virus. Can't even boot into safemode. Is there someway to partition things so I don't uninstall it by I have a working Ubuntu install? [22:49] does lightscribe work with 64.bit ubuntu [22:49] iceroot, you sure about that, i downloaded 64bit edition and this is what mine says [22:49] shawn_: its the architektur of your cpu [22:49] linuxgeek22: yes [22:49] iceroot Linux laptop 2.6.30.7 #1 SMP Wed Sep 16 22:05:25 CEST 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux [22:49] how do i set it up [22:49] iceroot, halitech: Damnit... But the file I burned to disk had AMD64 in the title... [22:49] Nin12: uname -r [22:50] Timarvay: ok if you got malware installed into any OS, the only true way to make sure it is gone, is to clean install th OS [22:50] ubuntu lts 8.0.4 === Antaranian is now known as NiceTrySlexAxton [22:50] iceroot 2.6.30.7 [22:50] linuxgeek22 i typed it in and its not showing up [22:50] Nin12: post the full output [22:50] Timarvay: Dualbooting doesn't require a reinstall, so yes. Regular dual boot instructions will leave your windows intact [22:50] why i don't get ath0 in monitor mode but wlan0 instead? (airocrack tutorial) [22:50] but i'm sure its 64bit, since i have 64 bit binaries installed on the system and they run [22:50] Timarvay, If you broke windows, you should really just fresh install the windows and leave space for ubuntu. [22:50] shawn_, well, unless you inadvertantly installed the 32bit kernel I'm not sure [22:50] Timarvay: dual booting with an infected XP install doesn't sound that good, even though your Windows virus won't infect Ubuntu [22:50] hm [22:50] Heh, I broke Windows quite well, I think. Vundo, as far as I can tell. [22:51] Halitech: Did I need to do something special to select 64 bit after its on the disk? X_X [22:51] Use a linux virus scanner and scan your windows partion [22:51] shawn_, no, the 64bit disk should install only the 64bit version [22:51] grab avg [22:51] Would it be safe to copy some saved movies and PDFs over to Linux from the infected Windows? [22:51] Timarvay: If you have enough RAM and depending on what Windows programs you want to run, you can do a Windows virtual machine inside Ubuntu, and then if you get a virus or whatever again, you can easilly delete it like a normal file, and use a clean backup or re install. Also Wine can run many Windows programs in Ubuntu. [22:51] Timarvay, Well then you have your answer. Mount the disk, burn off the personal files, reinstall windows and leave 20g free for linux. [22:52] Halitech: Then why wouldnt it work X_X [22:52] how can i download all pictures at once in thunderbird email? [22:52] the linux kernel for 64-bit ubuntu does not seem to be named -amd64 [22:52] just generic [22:52] http://free.avg.com/download avg for linux === tischbein is now known as stuhlbein [22:52] shawn_: as far as I can tell, you are running the 64-bit version :/ [22:52] Timarvay, even if the virus was in the pdf's(which is unlikely) the exploit it uses will probably be tuned for windows and will not work (even if the same bug is there in the linux program) so it's safe [22:52] Step 2. Turn on sound support from kernel config [22:52] (soundcore module, default turn on) What is this nonsense? [22:53] shawn_: jaunty, right? === NiceTrySlexAxton is now known as Antaranian [22:53] shawn_, I don't know [22:53] Chousuke Then why is my RAM not showing up and yes Jaunty [22:53] shawn_: I don't know about the RAM... [22:53] Alright, I'm reading through the instructions to partition again. Is there a way to tell how much RAM I have without cracking my computer open and looking inside? [22:53] Timarvay, type cat /proc/meminfo [22:53] shawn_: run "top". how much RAM does it show? [22:53] Do I type that here? [22:53] What is the "web server document root" folder...? [22:53] !terminal | Timarvay [22:53] Timarvay: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [22:54] anvo, where it gets the webpages to serve [22:54] chousuke 3309180k total [22:54] Thanks everyone! [22:54] shawn_: weird. [22:54] shawn_, u sure it actually has more than that? [22:54] shawn_: it's not disabled in the BIOS or anything? [22:54] I mean, where is it located...? [22:54] Nin12 I have 6GB DDR2 [22:54] shawn_: my 64bit system is saying 2.6.28-15-generic so there is no amd64 in the string [22:54] shawn_: i am sorry for that [22:54] iceroot Oh [22:55] shawn_: are you sure your motherboard supports more than ~3.2GB? [22:55] Chousuke: How would I know if its disabled in the Bios [22:55] Timarvay: you should sort out that infected XP install really as well, by either attempting to clean it, or by re installing. [22:55] shawn_: show me the output of "uname -a" please. [22:55] shawn_: but 3.2 gb sounds hard like 32bit issue [22:55] umm any idea where to look for help on a bash command ? [22:55] what if i want any search i make on the internet to be submitted to a website always. for example i do amazon search but i want that my search will also be just submited to a search engine other than amazon? [22:55] shawn_: you would have to look through the BIOS settings :/ [22:55] Chousuke: How can I check if my motherboard supports it [22:55] shawn_: I suppose you'd need to look at the manual [22:55] shawn_: show me the output of "uname -a" please. [22:55] Sebsebsec: I was planning on trying to deal with it from here. I hit a wall when I couldn't go into Safemode. [22:55] Timarvay: and it makes things a bit easier if Windows is installed first, when doing dual boots [22:55] ikonia Linux Shawns-Desktop 2.6.28-15-generic #49-Ubuntu SMP Tue Aug 18 19:25:34 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux [22:55] Chousuke: his bios says 6gb at boot [22:56] shawn_: ok - that's a 64bit kernel [22:56] iceroot: yeah. so probably it's supported [22:56] my ram is 2.0 gb [22:56] iceroot: but who knows. BIOSes are weird. :/ [22:56] Chousuke: but 3.2gb sounds hard like 32bit issue [22:56] shawn_: can you pastebin the output of "cat /proc/meminfo" please [22:56] ikonia Alright [22:56] Timarvay: ok as long as Windows was shut down properly, should be able to access it's partition, no problem, and then gain access to data that you can back up :) and re install the OS, a psyical install or virtual machine. You can also try deleting infected files using the Live CD. [22:57] ikonia http://pastebin.com/m4c28590c [22:57] Whete is the "web server document root" folder located...? [22:57] Whete=where! [22:57] anvo: /var/www/ [22:57] Should be relatively easy. I'd prefer to keep the XP install and a few files, but I don't need anything else off it. [22:57] SBAR [22:58] is it possible that i need to install the drivers before it will recognize my card? [22:58] Timarvay: well it got infected, you should do a clean install of the OS really it's as simple as that, it could be doing quite a few bad things now, when it's loaded up and connected to the Internet. [22:59] Hey all, where can I find the gnome network manager? I looked under System->Admin->Network and it's not there. /Newbie [22:59] anyone help, I have an external hard drive which seems to mount and work fine for 15/20 mins [22:59] then it just disappears [22:59] I don't believe it is connected when I'm using Ubuntu is it? [22:59] any ideas? [22:59] Timarvay, take that seriously, someone in my country was sued over a shitload of damages because his computer was taking part in ddos attack [22:59] then I can switch it off and it won't be recognised anymore [22:59] i said when i put vcd to my ubuntu it say could not read from resource [22:59] but when i click to play disk from movie player it play first video only [22:59] shawn_: sorry, was off for a moment, broken ram ? [22:59] bbb1: normally the network manager should be found in the upper right corner displayed as a small monitor icon [23:00] when i put vcd to my ubuntu it say could not read from resource [23:00] but when i click to play disk from movie player it play first video only [23:00] shawn_: what does the memtest boot option show [23:00] when i put vcd to my ubuntu it say could not read from resource [23:00] hi [23:00] but when i click to play disk from movie player it play first video track [23:00] Repeat: Hey all, where can I find the gnome network manager?

I looked under System->Admin->Network and it's not there. /Newbie [23:01] Timarvay: yep take computer security seriously, Ubuntu, other Linux distros, BSD, Windows, Mac OS X, and so on, none of them are 100% immune to malware [23:01] shawn_: checking the memtest option is worth it [23:01] physic, do you have it in an iso or folders? [23:01] ikonia Alright Ill go try that now... Ill be back here in a few minutes to tell you what it says [23:01] bbb1: normally the network manager should be found in the upper right corner displayed as a small monitor icon [23:01] the only secure computer is one thats turned off and buried in concrete [23:01] Halitechveideos?

[23:02] Halitech, I explained to someone that the best firewall would be unplugging the network cable, yet she wasn't so sure about that [23:02] @Arabus: I don't see anything up there [23:02] bbb1: do you use gnome? [23:02] I have a battery two monitors a mail icon and a mute [23:02] how would I know if I use gnome? [23:02] physic, are they cds? are they in an iso format? are they ??????? [23:02] Yeah, I don't quite know where I got it, to be honest. Looking like I should probably snag files off Windows and just reinstall. Or not reinstall, really. All I care about Windows for is running some games. How is Wine for modern ones? [23:02] bbb1: the two monitors should be the entwork manager [23:03] *network [23:03] how can i burn a 950mb iso-cd on a cd?

Definately non 3-d.

I'm using the ndiswrapper [23:07] ikonia Well the RAM is my motherboard is usually 667 Mhz and the one I bought I think is 800 Mhz but it says its compatible with 667 Mhz could this be something to do with it or do you think the RAM is deffective? [23:07] *trying [23:07] Timarvay: places > computer and you should be able to access the Windows partition [23:07] Nin12: so you mean /etc/hosts.deny does not effect all daemons (like pop3) [23:08] shawn_: no idea, [23:08] iceroot, i think it only works for inetd based servers, and openssh, not 100% sure doh === hey` is now known as grumete [23:08] shawn_, does your board support 800mhz ram? normally it *should* drop to the lower speed but not always [23:08] Sebsebseb: They'll stay after install though, right? Haven't run off a CD in ages. [23:08] shawn_: quicker ram can be a problem somtimes, you may want to join ##hardware and ask some of the guys for a ram testing trick or two [23:08] Nin12: ok that can be the reason why http-blocks work but pop3 not [23:08] Halitech I have no idea what speed my motherboard will support [23:08] Timarvay: oh right yeah that's a point, you need to move the data to some where else [23:08] iceroot, it didn't work for me atleast the block spammer from trying to use my smtp as an open relay(it refused to send his mails, but he kept on trying causing huge cpu load) [23:08] shawn_, do you know the model number? [23:09] halitech Of my motherboard? [23:09] shawn_, yes [23:09] assinine: ok I do not know much about super-OS it might be that the flash plugin uses the wrong sound driver. To change that, try to find the properties option of said player. [23:09] is there an alternative to iptables? (cant use iptables because its a vroot) [23:09] @purpzey: I'm trying to use ndiswrapper [23:09] the next step is to do that [23:09] Halitech One sec I have it written here somewhere [23:09] Timarvay: or make a new partition, or delete everything from the Windows partition except the data, I have done that before [23:09] going by https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper [23:09] iceroot: try ufw [23:09] Arabus: how do I find out which flash plugin it is? [23:09] iceroot, netfilter.. [23:09] SebSebSeb: Can I pull the disk out and burn to a new one without upsetting Ubuntu? [23:10] Arabus: its using iptables in the background imo [23:10] iceroot, you sure iptables doenst work? my vps has it [23:10] Arabus, ufw is simply a iptables front [23:10] Timarvay: well when I did it wasn't exactly data, but this is irelivant. Ok you only got one CD drive? [23:10] Nin12: my not [23:10] assinine: I asume you use a browser to open a web page where you want to play a flash video ? [23:10] Sebsebseb: Afraid so. [23:10] font-end [23:10] Timarvay: USB stick? external hard disk? [23:10] iceroot, and if you install it? apt-get install iptables [23:10] Arabus: yes [23:10] Nin12: i am using the kernel from the host, not from my vm [23:10] Nin12: i cant access kernel-moduls [23:11] Halitech It is an Intel 965 motherboard [23:11] shawn_: you get prbly set your bios to auto ram settings, have a url of the manual meanwhile ? more a question for #hardware, maybe let's go over, less crowded [23:11] Sebsebseb:USB I can do. Didn't think of that, but probably the best way. [23:11] Halitech It is an Intel P965 motherboard* [23:11] assinine: depending on the browser you use there should be an addons option in the top bar [23:11] afallenhope: i will have a look at netfilter, thx [23:11] Nin12: You don't burn a 950MB iso to a CD, where did you get one that was 950MB? [23:11] iceroot, np. it's the same company... [23:11] nimrod_: ^^ Sorry Nin12 [23:11] iceroot, It works with OpenVZ also using the host kernel, u probably have some other virtualization system then. you can try adding a route sending all traffic to that ip to the lo interface [23:12] Arabus: you mean like under tools in FireFx? [23:12] yes [23:12] Nin12: hm, imo its openvz here [23:12] Nin12: openvcp it is here [23:12] iceroot, then it should work, but u cant use every module [23:12] shawn_, this says up to 800mhz http://www.intel.com/products/desktop/chipsets/p965/p965-overview.htm [23:13] Flannel, i found a iso who are over 900mb, but it wont burn on a dvd [23:13] iceroot, im 99% sure openvcp lets u use iptables try installing it [23:13] Arabus: It says I have shockwave flash. [23:13] Nin12: it is installed but says it cant access some kernel-moduls [23:13] nimrod_: Which ISO is this? [23:13] nimrod0, try burning it to a cd, you can if you use overburn, but the disk will be bad quality, whats the iso for? [23:14] iceroot, ok sucks. they disabled it probably, or the host kernel hasn't got iptables [23:14] Flannel, it is a Linux distro. [23:14] Nin12: yes, that should be the reason :( [23:14] I have a acer aspire one netbook, I just received it back from the acer repair center with a bum webcam(it wouldn't work in windows or ubuntu), now I got a few questions, I just installed my ubuntu system can I dd backup it using a livecd backing it up via samba(or other file share) to my other ubuntu laptop? than restore it back to my acer with the backup? [23:14] irc.coapt.nrt [23:14] irc.coapt.net [23:14] assinine: you might try reinstalling it - for this you have to remove the plugin [23:14] SebSebSeb: Well, I'm going to go do that. Thanks for everything. [23:14] nimrod_: You'll need to ask their support places how to use it. [23:15] Timarvay: see my pm [23:15] nimrod try going with santrex if you can change, cheap and good and with iptables [23:15] Arabus: ok, i'll try that right now [23:15] shawn_, did you say you ran memtest from the live cd and it was okay?

There is no uninstall option for it in Frefox [23:16] and always the same file [23:16] Flannel, Dreamlinux [23:16] funny how many ppl got disconnected after the request was sent :P [23:16] Halitech I ran them memtest from the Grub boot screen [23:16] is there a way of doing a checksum of files currently installed from a package versus what is in the package? [23:16] ie get a list of modified files [23:16] shawn_, and it saw and tested all the ram fine? [23:17] Halitech no it said : Error 28 selected file cannot be booted or something like that [23:17] shawn_, so you couldn't get into memtest from grub? [23:17] Halitech negative [23:18] shawn_, do you have a live cd kicking around? [23:18] nimrod_: http://www.dreamlinuxforums.org/ or it appears they have tutorials and a wiki too: http://www.dreamlinux.com.br/tutorials.html and http://www.dreamlinuxforums.org/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page the tutorials have a section on installing it looks like [23:18] Ok, I need some help, some more [23:18] Halitech Yes I have a 32 bit one a 64 bit one and I also have gparte [23:18] shawn_, boot from the 64bit live cd and run memtest from there [23:18] Flannel, yes, i'm going to take a look there, thanks for your time =) [23:18] I need a player that has WMA support, all my CDs are in WMA format instead of MP3 and I aint sure that I can find them all [23:18] Halitech alright Ill get back to you [23:19] The player that comes with Ubuntu will crash the system if you try and play music for anything longer than 5 minutes :( [23:19] shawn_, with 6gig, its probably going to take awhile [23:19] Hi, if I am running compiz, is that my window manager? meaning I am no longer using metacity?

[23:19] Bodsda: Correct [23:19] shawn_, like a few hours probably [23:20] Yes, and it doesn't have playlists I don't think [23:20] one sec [23:20] Bodsda, no [23:20] assinine: hmm ok I do encounter that problem for the first time. never noticed how difficult it can be to get rid of the plugin === Paraselene____ is now known as Paraselene_ [23:20] soreau: Paddy_NI -- wanna fight it out between you? [23:20] Hey all (again), I'm trying to get to "Now, navigate to System>Administration>Networking.", but under "System>Administration", I don't have "Networking". What should I do to get it? Thanks. /Newbie [23:20] Any DMOZ edditors here ? [23:20] leave [23:20] Bodsda: I beg your pardon? [23:20] Tried audacious? [23:20] Halitech: Will that tell me if my RAM is deffective or not? [23:20] Or know any of them ? [23:20] shawn_, yes it will [23:20] soreau: Paddy_NI -- are you both saying that I am not using using metacity? [23:20] Bodsda, Compiz replaces gtk-window-decorator where as emerald would replace metacity.. I think :P [23:20] Halitech Thank you [23:20] I'd like to start a ubuntu section there [23:20] Arabus: how did you get rid of it? [23:21] Bodsda, metacity is the window decorator [23:21] Paddy_NI: so could I run, gnome fluxbox and compiz? [23:21] is there anywhere i can check what pci cards are compatible with ubuntu [23:21] !audacious [23:21] Sorry, I don't know anything about audacious [23:21] Bodsda: Yes. Compiz is a WM and so is metacity. Only one WM can run at any given time [23:21] Bodsda, yes [23:21] oh dear [23:21] Hey all (again), I'm trying to get to "Now, navigate to System>Administration>Networking.", but under "System>Administration", I don't have "Networking". What should I do to get it? Thanks. /Newbie [23:21] soreau: thats what I thought [23:21] Bodsda: No, fluxbox is a WM so you can't use it with any other WM (like metacity or compiz) [23:21] !info audacious [23:21] !hardware | tehC0unt [23:21] audacious (source: audacious): small and fast audio player which supports lots of formats. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.5.1-4ubuntu3 (jaunty), package size 1139 kB, installed size 3868 kB [23:21] Paddy_NI: how can I do so? [23:21] tehC0unt: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [23:22] soreau: how do you choose between the 2 wm's? [23:22] Bodsda, are you currently running gnome with fluxbox at the moment? [23:22] prpzey and ubottu thank you is there a hardware channel? [23:22] Anyone? [23:22] Hey all (again), I'm trying to get to "Now, navigate to System>Administration>Networking.", but under "System>Administration", I don't have "Networking". What should I do to get it? Thanks. /Newbie [23:22] bbb1: why? [23:22] Paddy_NI: no. I have fluxbox installed, but I do not know how to set it up with gnome. I wish to run gnome with the functionality of fluxbox and the eye candy of compiz [23:22] bbb1: what are you trying to accomplish? [23:22] assinine: To select between compiz and metacity in ubuntu, use sys>prefs>appearance>visual effects tab. None will select metacity. Anything else will be compiz [23:22] I don't know, I've read a few articles, and I have to get there to get my wireless working [23:23] Bodsda, just a moment I spotted a good guide for that a while back [23:23] Bodsda: Not possible [23:23] !wifi > bbb1 [23:23] bbb1, please see my private message [23:23] anyone here using swiftweasel? [23:23] I have to do the windows driver deal [23:23] bbb1: those articles are for older versions [23:23] bbb1: read the wiki [23:23] soreau: Paddy_NI seems to think it is [23:23] I have read it [23:23] so i only needed the executable file when extracting the tar.gz file? [23:23] Bodsda: Even if you run a fluxbox session, compiz will replace the fluxbox WM [23:23] !who | bbb1 [23:23] bbb1: 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 :) [23:23] bbb1: and? [23:23] Now, navigate to System>Administration>Networking. The card should be there. Activate and configure per usual. [23:23] soreau: there is no metacity option there [23:23] how would I do that [23:23] assinine: Read what I said [23:23] bbb1: like I said, that's for an older version of ubuntu [23:24] what'd be a reasonable Desktop manager to run exactly one particular application, with no panels or window decorations? [23:24] What's the equiv.? [23:24] !enter| bbb1 [23:24] soreau: expanding on assinine's question, how would I select fluxbox instead of compiz or metacity? [23:24] bbb1: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [23:24] Bodsda, gah it seems you cannot anymore [23:24] Paddy_NI: :( [23:24] bbb1: what card is this/ === floopsie is now known as Floops [23:24] (thanks for your help) [23:24] Bodsda, It used to be slightly possible with a rough bit of hackery [23:24] Bodsda: I do not know how fluxbox works. AFAIK, it's not part of ubuntu by default [23:24] Paddy_NI: ok, no worries, cheers [23:24] Dell 1470 [23:25] bbb1: if you want my attention, you need to use my nick [23:25] soreau: no it isnt. But gnome is a DE and it uses metacity for its window manager, I wish to change this to fluxbox [23:25] hackery... now there's a fine word - just like "Autumnal" [23:25] like jrid: Dell 1470 [23:25] (I'm a newbie.. sorry) [23:25] Bodsda, fluxbox can do some really pretty things to http://fluxbox-wiki.org/index.php?title=Transparency [23:25] bbb1: hrmm, the wireless on my old dell works fine and the recent ones should also work fine. What page are you reading? [23:25] http://dansteingart.com/useful-ubuntu-breezy-on-a-dell-b130/ [23:26] OK, VLC is alright, but I wanted something that had the playlist in an already open window and easy for me to select what song I want [23:26] bbb1: that's not from the wiki... [23:26] I was also reading https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper [23:26] Paddy_NI: I usually use fluxbox on its own, But I miss gnomes themes and wish to use the tabbed window functionality from fluxbox, in gnome [23:26] bbb1: the first link is way too old from 2005 and you should try to avoid ndiswrapper if possible [23:26] jrib: what should I do then to get the wifi? [23:27] jrid: I have a dell inspiron b130 [23:27] DreamsofanEagle: You can try Amarok, I'm not sure if it plays WMA, I think it might. I just can't remember. [23:27] bbb1: In System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers, do you have any available? [23:27] it won't [23:28] jrib: I think it found one for Broadcom... hopefully it works [23:28] How can I get the tabbed window functionality of fluxbox into gnome? [23:28] bbb1: yeah, it works on my macbook great. Just reboot after it installs [23:28] jrib: ok, and that should work? [23:28] Bodsda: use fluxbox as the window manager in gnome? [23:28] bbb1: yep, you should have a network-manager icon in your traying offering you different networks [23:28] jrib: thanks for all your help! [23:29] bbb1: good luck [23:29] jrib: restarting now... [23:29] DreamsofanEagle: According to what I just read XMMS should. [23:29] jrib: I would love to, but I cant find any 'recent' documentation on how to do so, can you assist? [23:29] jrib: bye [23:29] Bodsda: I haven't done it in a while, but fluxbox wiki used to have a guide iirc [23:29] What are the major differences between jaunty and hardy? Any major UI differences or is it all base system [23:29] Bodsda, this post is quite old... still worth a look though http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=63734 [23:29] jrib: yeah, I found a few links to such an article, but it seems dead now [23:30] can someone give tips how i can add and set themes in gkt for lxde? [23:30] how do i allow remote access in xubuntu? [23:30] Paddy_NI: the files referenced in that thread no longer exist [23:30] Bodsda, also try logging out and changing session to see if a flux/gnome session is already created for you [23:30] server_side with ssh [23:30] Bodsda: one way to set window manager is "export WINDOW_MANAGER=/path/to/window/manager" in ~/.gnomerc. There may be other things you wish to do as well [23:31] XMMS, is that via Synaptic or the add-remove? [23:31] yermandu_, with remote desktop viewer [23:31] Paddy_NI: jrib -- I'll give that a go, cheers [23:31] Bodsda: http://fluxbox-wiki.org/index.php?title=FAQ#Can_I_use_fluxbox_as_the_window_manager_in_GNOME different approach [23:32] what'd be a reasonable Desktop manager to run exactly one particular application, with no panels or window decorations? [23:32] server_side screen maybe [23:32] hey, i am having a trouble with ubuntu. sometime, automaticallly , trash folder start opening up , in ubuntu. sometime 2 to 5 and sometime they go on opening and opening....my mouse start doing oppose of what it suppossed to do. is that a virus??? === a1g_ is now known as a1g [23:33] jrib: brilliant, I will try, thank you [23:33] jrib: it works [23:33] bbb1: cool [23:33] jrib: thanks a bunch [23:33] jrib: some articles should be updated :) [23:33] bbb1: it's a wiki, go for it! [23:33] DreamsofanEagle: It's in the repos so you can get it via synaptic or CLI. [23:34] jrib: I'm thinking about it to save some other users some pain... Ubuntu was really easy besides that. Now I have a dual boot [23:34] jrib: thanks again. bye [23:34] bbb1: bye [23:35] er irc.bgoc.net [23:36] i have the source of a package, but i am not root, can i install/make the source to a binary without root? [23:37] iceroot: yes and no [23:37] jrib: i know the step ./configure && make && sudo make install [23:37] iceroot: you can definitely compile it, but you can only install it to a directory your user can write to [23:37] iceroot: what are you doing exactly? [23:37] jrib: i want to use yakuake on my system without root [23:38] jrib: cant use apt-get [23:38] iceroot: why? [23:38] jrib: i am not root and i am not in the sudoers [23:38] iceroot: ok, but why? [23:38] iceroot: someone else is admin? [23:38] jrib: because my boss is root? [23:39] iceroot: easiest way is to just ask him to install yakuake, but sure you can build yakuake yourself in your ~ and run it from there [23:39] jrib: we ill not do that [23:39] jrib: so i can use make, to get the binary and can start that one [23:40] iceroot: when you run ./configure, you want to specify a prefix in your ~, not /usr/local as it usually is by default [23:40] jrib: ah ok, good to know [23:41] i just installed swiftweasel, how can i make it visible in the "x-www-browsers"? [23:42] jrib: just thought I would let you know, the fluxbox wiki has incorrect information, but if I enter exec=/usr/bin/startfluxbox into a (may need to be created) ~/.gnomerc and then uninstall gnome-panel everything works like a charm!!! thank you so much [23:42] dsdeiz: you can install galternatives to configure x-www-browser with a gui, I forgot the cli way [23:42] dsdeiz: read some debian documentation on update-alternatives I guess [23:42] Whats up everyone [23:42] Bodsda: hmm, you should be able to use gnome-panel though [23:42] Bodsda: did you try what I said [23:43] peska: my blood pressure, but are you having a good day? [23:43] um sort of, just installed Ubuntu a couple days ago [23:43] can anyone tell me why remote desktop freezes for other people? [23:43] jrib: yeah, you can use the panel, but it screws with fluxbox a wee bit. I use dual screens so things were a bit strange. what do you mean 'try what I said'? [23:43] tryin to get the hang of it [23:44] Bodsda: one way to set window manager is "export WINDOW_MANAGER=/path/to/window/manager" in ~/.gnomerc. There may be other things you wish to do as well [23:44] dsdeiz: sudo update-alternatives --config x-www-browser [23:44] jrib: that is what I did, dont know what the 'other things' were though [23:44] VCoolio: it doesn't come out there [23:44] Bodsda: you can ignore that [23:44] jrib: then your instructions were near perfect... again :) [23:44] speaking of dual screens... can anyone provide insight on configuring for tv-out with early ati radeon? [23:45] peska: we've all been at "Day One" with Ubuntu - we've all been beginners. You got a question? Just ask it! [23:45] dsdeiz: ok, well, with galternatives you can add stuff, so use that [23:45] Bodsda: i think i saw a howto on the forums that might address the panel issue if you care [23:45] hey guys just a question is there a way to install a mail server on ubuntu using XAMPP [23:45] jrib: hit me :) [23:45] jrib: are you still around? [23:45] bbb: yes [23:45] dsdeiz: sudo update-alternatives --set x-www-browser /path/to/swiftweasel [23:45] well I got this really good ebook i started reading and it said that the community was the place to go [23:46] VCoolio: ahh, thanks [23:46] dsdeiz: according to update-alternatives --help [23:46] so im just checkin things out introducing myself [23:46] peska: thats one truthfull e-book right there [23:46] peska, yep, we're here. Welcome! [23:46] lol [23:46] jrib: one last thing, everytime I go restart the computer, I have to go back to the hardware app, and re activate the broadcom. Is there any way this can be automatic? [23:46] peska: you may want to pop into #ubuntu-offtopic though, as this is a support channel [23:46] k [23:46] bbb: that's a bug, I don't know why that happens [23:47] jrib: this is a new install besides all the ndiswrapper junk [23:47] dsdeiz: after --set you still have to do the --config to make swiftweasel default I think [23:47] jrib: could ndiswrapper have done that? [23:47] Hey, I'm having an issue installing modules. When I try install modules they go to /lib/modules/2.6.28.10/extra instead of /lib/modules/2.6.28-15-generic/extra [23:48] um... how do I get there lol [23:48] hi everybody!!! i am on liveCD session cause my grub can´t load. erro 11 popup when i try HDD boot! wt to do??? [23:48] bbb: all I can tell you is that it works as expected on my macbook. If it's a new install and you want to see if it really is a bug or if it is because of somethings you did with ndiswrapper, then reinstall real quick. If it persists, you should file a bug (and come back here to see if anyone can figure out what is going on). Also check bugs.ubuntu.com before actuallying filing to see if a bug already [23:48] exists [23:48] peska: /join #ubuntu-offtopic [23:48] jrib: reinstall ubuntu? [23:49] /join #ubuntu-offtopic [23:49] bbb: right, you said it was a new install anyway so I'm guessing you won't lose anything [23:49] ok... who told peska to quit? [23:49] :) [23:49] jrib: right, but couldn't I just install the app, or did it do damage already? [23:49] is there a linux or ubuntu distribution for the HP iPaq [23:49] bbb: I don't know what you did === delsol is now known as Sun3vi1 [23:50] jrib: I installed a few drivers and the interface thing for ndis [23:50] bbb: how? [23:50] jrib: using the interface [23:50] can someone tell me why remote desktop freezes for other people? [23:50] bbb: what interface? [23:50] jrib: "Windows Wireless Drivers" [23:50] !details | Deathvalley122 [23:50] Deathvalley122: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [23:51] bbb: I'm not familiar with it. Anyway, it may be interfering [23:51] jrib: so you think reinstall then bug? [23:51] bbb: you can do what you said and try removing ndiswrapper first [23:51] how can I explain this it just freezes for other people theres no logs to it [23:51] Hey, I'm having an issue installing modules. When I try install modules they go to /lib/modules/2.6.28.10/extra instead of /lib/modules/2.6.28-15-generic/extra [23:51] hi! sorry to interrupt, but whatc chanell is for ubuntu 9.10 [23:51] jrib: would that be in add/remove? [23:52] !karmic | NerveClasp [23:52] NerveClasp: Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 29th, 2009 - Karmic WILL break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [23:52] bbb: yeah [23:52] is there only bbb and jrib here???

[23:52] :P [23:53] thnx [23:53] !lamp | edi_99 [23:53] edi_99: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [23:53] Hi! Im trying to configure stunnel4 to get hotmail in mail notification, but when I try to start stunnel4, i ger this: [23:53] edi_99: not sure what you mean by "virtual" [23:53] 2009.09.25 00:51:58 LOG3[21084:3083131088]: /etc/stunnel/mail.pem: No such file or directory (2) [23:53] [Failed: /etc/stunnel/stunnel.conf] [23:53] If I upgrade my system to jaunty using "Upgrade" from the software sources menu will it keep my application information (e.g. what i have installed, and my personal data) or will it be a clean install?

[23:53] purpzey: it will keep everything [23:53] purpzey: you should be good [23:53] jrib: server that is not actually a real server, more like a simulation on my comp [23:54] is there a channel for backtrack 3 [23:54] edi_99: I think you just want to run a real server locally... But if you wish you can install another copy of ubuntu in a virtual machine like virtualbox and install it there [23:54] sun3vi1 #remote-exploit [23:55] thank you [23:55] jrib: weird... when I clicked "Activate" again in the hardware app, it disabled the wireless [23:55] jrib: should I just file a bug? [23:55] Hi I'm having issues with installing modules. I'm trying to compile a wireless driver. and when it installs it goes to /lib/modules/2.6.28.10/extra rather than my kernel's version which is /lib/modules/2.6.28-15-generic any ideas? [23:55] jrib: Will it go from 8.04 and step upwards or will it try to jump up straight to 9.04? [23:55] bbb: I think you should see if it happens on a clean install first [23:56] afallenhope what wireless device are you using? [23:56] jrib: ok, thanks for helping on this channel. will do that tomorrow. bye. [23:56] brand model [23:56] purpzey: you must go through intermediate releases. The exception is if you upgrade from one LTS version to another LTS version [23:56] JohnCDI, it's ANY module I try to install.. wether it be the rt73 or avld (dummy loopback video driver) [23:56] how can i recover my last boot grub loader? [23:57] jrib: no no, the first option seems just fine. I do remember that a few month back I have installed LAMP and I couldn't get to my regular desktop (actually boot into the GUI). Do you maybe know why? [23:57] If I were to install the last alpha of karmic, will the update manager take care of all update through the beta and final releases? [23:57] edi_99: not offhand no (that shouldn't happen) [23:58] petafile: yes, but this question belongs in #ubuntu+1 [23:58] jrib: so if I install LAMP through apt everything will be exactly like now, just with the server installed? [23:58] after the last upgrade ocurred some issues, my ubuntu can ´t load anymore...error 11 popup me... Any ideas?
