[00:00] teolicy, maybe here.... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedFilesystemsOnRemovableStorage [00:00] losher - OK off to work. I think I found a thread that will help me [00:00] jakerue: ok, so I see about 50G on sda1, 100G on sda5 and 11G on sda6, for a total of 160G which is your disk. So what exactly was resized, sda5? === jay is now known as Guest49976 [00:00] mib_mib, are you using public or private ip address in browser? === Guest49976 is now known as jaybinks [00:00] mib_mib: possibly your isp is blocking port 80, to verify try a non standard port.. for example 9999 [00:00] losher - yep. Gotta run though. What commands should I be looking for to make this work? [00:00] <|2-bits|> @dual: I believe it is. Hold on a minute [00:01] jakerue: df -h would be next... [00:01] |2-bits|, ok, cool :) [00:01] stlsaint: i tried both the internal and external ip's [00:01] stlsaint: neither worked [00:01] kingfishr: still there? [00:01] Hey all - anyone fancy helping me get to grips with getting wireless working (complete and utter n00b here) :D [00:02] losher - that only shows % of sda1 and sdb1 ....sda5 not shown [00:02] losher - thanks for the help but I really have to run. Next time [00:02] jakerue: that usually means sda5 isn't mounted. That would explain why you don't see it... ok, next time [00:03] benc: from what I can tell there are 'some' problems, however if you are running 8.10 or 8.04 thrift is available already compiled here https://launchpad.net/~txamqpteam/+archive/ppa [00:03] mib_mib, you using nginix for load balance or revers proxy? [00:03] fccf: cool. thanks [00:03] How can I get my laptop to see a shared printer that's connected to my desktop? [00:03] <|2-bits|> @dual: Okay so I dont' have ubuntu open right this minute BUT if I remember you go to You have to go to System->Sessions and what not [00:03] stlsaint: the one thing I think i could have misconfigured, is the virtualconf file - I don't have a domain name like www.blah.com - i just want to use my ip address, but for servername and serveraliais, i just put bs stuff www.first.com and first.com [00:04] <|2-bits|> and there should be a window with two tabs... the open one should have your start up items and the second one should have a check box that says "remember your sessions or something like that? [00:04] benc: see also here http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-71 and http://wiki.apache.org/thrift/GettingUbuntuPackages [00:04] stlsaint: reverse proxy - it handles the static content, and passes it through to apache for dyanmic stuff [00:04] |2-bits|, yes. Great. Thanks :D [00:05] Just hope it works tomorrow when I turn it on again :) [00:05] losher, yes [00:06] mib_mib, so why the reverse proxy setup...if its all local? [00:06] kingfishr: run synaptic and search for glib. Look for 'libglib'. That'll tell you what your current version is, and whether there's a later version in the repository you can upgrade to... [00:06] mib_mib, and what do you have in your apache2 /var/www? [00:07] losher, yeah the problem is that the latest version is older than what webkit wants [00:07] stlsaint: i don't want it all to be local, rather, what i would like to do is be able to go to my ip address, and have a django project set up [00:07] losher, I'm trying to build newer glib myself in my own directory and then pass that as an argument b/c I think webkit will use GLIB_LIBS when looking for glib [00:08] stlsaint: but i have apache set up with mod-wsgi for django [00:08] Samba is the one for file and print sharing, right? [00:08] stlsaint: so when i do like curl 127.0.0.1 i get some stuff back, but when i go to my ip address, i get nothing [00:09] so loopback is config wrong maybe? you have firewall? [00:09] maybe ufw, but i don't think its misconfigured, let me check [00:09] kingfishr: yes, that's what I'd do next. If webkit doesn't use GLIB_LIBS you can maybe look in the makefiles for the library and edit it so it finds your local copy. It's a pain though... [00:09] mnaines: yes, with windows ... for printing in linux networks Cups , and fileshareing ... well there are a number of options [00:10] fccf, I use Gutenprint drivers for printing [00:10] Having a slight problem: when I'm playing music with audacious, I don't get sound from flash videos in firefox. If I load firefox/flash first, audacious refuses to play anything until I close firefox [00:11] mib_mib, you seen this? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Django [00:11] Chun1: I use Rythmbox for music [00:11] <{Onyx}> Hmmm, thought I had sorted out all my sound issues but I found another one. I've got my dedicated card for speakers and my on board for headphones and mic. All that's working, the problem is that the volume slider from the speaker icon is adjusting volume for the on board even though I have default set to the x-fi [00:13] !clone [00:13] To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [00:13] # 00 08 * * * in crontab would run the following command every day at 8am, yeah? [00:13] beta out yet? === yofel_ is now known as yofel [00:13] fccf, what is a good way to share files and printers between Linux machines without creating a security risk? [00:13] <{Onyx}> If I open volume controls I can adjust the volume so it has to be some setting in sound prefs but everything looks like it should be defaulting to the x-fi [00:14] <{Onyx}> mnaines keep it behind a fireawll [00:14] stlsaint: i checked UFW and made sure that the rule to allow tcp on port 80 is enabled [00:14] mnaines: Use a private network [00:14] mnaines: totally agree with {Onyx} ... [00:14] program called fritzing gives me a .sh file. i can open it from terminal but not by double clicking on the sh file. solutions? [00:14] I have a power management problem in Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty. Settings are set to NEVER put monitor nor computer to sleep, but monitor sleeps after 20 min. Any ideas? [00:14] here's the sh file pastebinned: http://pastebin.com/m1b17bc2 [00:15] <{Onyx}> Unless you're running some type of server there's no need to have anything from your network not behind a firewall. [00:15] {Onyx}: I have the kernel firewall configured for restrictive mode and I have my two computers on a separate subnet with its own router [00:15] where can I get the svn subversion 1.7 client for jaunty? [00:15] <{Onyx}> So you're trying to print/file share between the two subnets/ [00:15] <{Onyx}> ? === maroach is now known as maroach- [00:15] MenZa, yes [00:16] hwilde: thanks [00:16] nobody knows about sh files ? [00:16] what the easiest way to know if a file has DOS style ending or Linux style ending without changing the file? [00:16] <{Onyx}> properties === maroach- is now known as maroach [00:17] {Onyx}: No, my laptop and desktop are on the same /27 subnet, which is separate from the /24 subnet that the rest of the network operates on...My printer is on the desktop but I want to be able to print remotely from the laptop [00:17] stlsaint: yah - i've set up this exact server before on a VPS, now i'm trying to set it up in the same way at my house, but for some reason i can't connect to it outside of my router [00:17] MenZa, the # sign comments out the line however, and you don't need double digits just 0 8 will do [00:17] <{Onyx}> then you should be fine [00:17] bastid_raZor: why would my isp block port 80? I need port 80 because i'm running an http server === marcelus is now known as marcellus [00:18] hwilde: excellent, cheers. [00:18] <{Onyx}> mib, there's no way your ISP is blocking port 80 [00:18] [00:18] {Onyx}: I don't know how to configure either computer to allow printer sharing, though [00:18] <{Onyx}> what type of printer? [00:18] <{Onyx}> you could adhoc the printer in to the network [00:18] {Onyx}: Canon Pixma iP4500...Connects to the desktop via USB [00:18] mib_mib, hhmm...something is looking in the wrong place if you have django setup right...should start from basics [00:19] printer sharing is here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpSamba#Sharing%20CUPS%20Printers [00:19] router>firewall...etc etc then move to apace2.conf...django setup [00:19] mib_mib: some isp's do. my former isp blocked ports 22,23, and port 80. i had to use different ports for ssh also. [00:19] <{Onyx}> Are there any usb hook ups to your router? [00:19] bastid_raZor: can i use different ports for the http server? how will people access it then without putting the port? [00:19] {Onyx}: No...The router is a D-Link WUA-2340 [00:19] <{Onyx}> Hmmmm, I'd go with hwilde's link for printer sharing then [00:20] yes. === sysdoc_ is now known as sysdoc [00:20] mib_mib: some isps have a 'no servers' policy, so the block may be deliberate... [00:20] stlsaint: well, i think one of my main problems is the router, and the second problem is maybe something having to do that i'm using a domain name but i don't actually have it registered maybe? [00:20] hwilde: I use Gutenprint drivers...I don't know if the instructions for CUPS would apply to the Gutenprint drivers [00:20] This sed script doesn't work: sed -i 's/ignoreip = 127.0.0.1/ignoreip = 127.0.0.1 10.0.0.0/\14/g' /etc/fail2ban/jail.conf How do you escape the slash in the cidr address? [00:20] \leave [00:20] <{Onyx}> the only ports I'm aware of that an ISP would be port 25 to prevent spam bots [00:20] mnaines, install the driver locally, share with cups/samba. [00:21] mib_mib: people would have to use the port you specify. ex. mine is bastid:9999 [00:21] hwilde: Are Cups and Gutenprint compatible with each other? [00:21] mib_mib: eliminate the second problem for the moment by using the 'raw' ip address in your url... [00:21] mnaines, you use the driver to print locally. you use cups/samba to share the printer. [00:22] mib_mib, yea instead of names use ip address...i dont have my domain linked to my ip yet so i do all my site editing via ip thru browser [00:22] mib_mib: yes you can use any port you wish. set it in the router to forward to 80 or have apache listen on a different port [00:22] losher: exactly what i'm trying to do [00:22] i am putting my router's ip address in, but nothing comes up [00:22] how do I select UTC in tzconfig? (working from shell) [00:23] whats the command to find file sizes larger then 10mb again? [00:23] Blehk, use a comma instead of a / for the sed delimiter, then you don't have to escape the slashes. or escape them with a backslash [00:23] <{Onyx}> mib, are you trying to get incoming connections from outside or within your network? [00:23] mib_mib, sorta what i just said aint it... =) [00:23] alright, cool thanks hwilde [00:24] My Compiz features aren't working, how do I reset it? [00:24] m0r0n, system, preferences, appearance [00:24] mib_mib: the router has to be configured to forward the port. Also, did you mention a kernel firewall somewhere? That too has to be configured to forward the port. You can choose any port as long as you're consistent. The use a url with the port embedded, e.g. http://1.2.3.4:8080/foo [00:24] m0r0n, go into compiz settings manager and set to defaults [00:24] tearing my hair out, done extensive googling to no avail - I cannot have "nvidia-glx-185" (or 190) installed concurrently with "xorg", installing one (with apt-get) removes the other. Help! (Ubuntu 9.04) [00:25] I am using UFW, i set up a rule to allow port 80/tcp - so thats fine [00:25] there is a 185 and 190 now? [00:25] I am forwarding port 80 on my router to the ip address of the server [00:25] yes [00:25] 185 isn't particualrly new [00:25] So I should instead forward a different port on my router? [00:25] pidgin 2.6.2 how can I enable video and audio [00:25] zofrex, sudo nvidia-xconfig [00:25] and listen on a different port for my nginx server? [00:25] ive been using ubuntu for a little while now and ive programmed some smaller things in windows and i tried to run a simple "hello world" program in C i have build-essential installed and the libraries but for some reason it calls a syntax error to the printf function any help? [00:26] JohnCDI, pastebin the code and the error please [00:26] yes mib_mib you gotta change that as well...just the post tho...not the ip [00:26] Question of the evening.. How the heck do I force X to use a native driver for a grapics chipset, and not the default VESA FB driver? [00:26] hwilde: after installing xgl, or xorg? [00:26] *glx [00:26] sorry *gcc compiles it fine the errors come up when in terminal i ./programname [00:26] mib_mib: so first step, from the server, can you contact http://localhost ? [00:26] losher: yes, i'm remote, but i can curl localhost and get back some html stuff [00:27] zofrex, it should take care of it for you [00:27] mib_mib: 2nd step, from inside the firewall on a different machine, can you contact http://server [00:27] hwilde: command not found :P [00:27] #include [00:27] main() [00:27] { [00:27] [00:27] printf("Hello, World"); [00:27] return 0; [00:27] JohnCDI: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:27] zofrex, install it... [00:28] !paste > JohnCDI [00:28] JohnCDI, please see my private message [00:28] <{Onyx}> no closing } [00:28] <{Onyx}> john [00:28] lol he got kicked before the paste finished [00:28] it takes 20 seconds to run a google on this machine.. if you know which package it's in off the top of your head that'd be useful [00:28] losher: the firewall is strictly on the server, i can, however, ssh into that machine, and do curl localhost; from my other machine behind the router though, if i go to that internal ip .... 192.168.1.100, i get nothing [00:28] zofrex, that is the name of the package. or aptitude search nvidia-xconfig [00:28] and open not exe open .c [00:28] oops. [00:28] lol [00:29] :) [00:29] ok I think I have some package management problem then 'cos that package doesn't exist [00:29] zofrex, hold on... it was provided by nvidia-glx-180 [00:29] <{Onyx}> mib is 192.168.1.100 the server or the router? [00:30] zofrex, why do you want 185 or 190? 180 seems to be the newest one I see [00:30] JohnCDI: you sound confused. Syntax errors come from the compiler. Run-time errors happen when you run the program. Which are you seeing? [00:30] {Onyx}: its the internal ip of the server [00:30] JohnCDI, pastebin the code and the error please [00:30] hwilde: uh dunno. it was in a step by step tutorial for setting up the software I want (xbmc) on the machine I own (AsRock NetTop) [00:30] if the 180 supports VDPAU then I'm happy with that [00:31] <{Onyx}> if you're port forwarding 80 to the server try hitting the router [00:31] im trying to use paste bin. [00:31] mib_mib: so do you expect http://192.168.1.100 to work i.e. the server firewall allows it? [00:31] {Onyx}: same, get nothing [00:31] <{Onyx}> err port forwarding 80 on the router [00:31] Anyone know? How to specify a particular driver for Xorg? [00:31] zofrex, sry I dunno, I installed 180 and it gave me a binary nvidia-xconfig which helped, then it enabled the driver and nvidia-settings through the gui menu [00:31] losher: i expect everything on port 80 to work - the firewall lets all tcp on port 80 [00:31] <{Onyx}> Did you make sure you were allowing that connection and not denying it? I've done that before on mistake. [00:31] Legendre: edit xorg.conf ? [00:31] Legendre: edit xorg.conf [00:32] ubuntu always defaults to vesafb (I think).. [00:32] {Onyx}: yep, just checked my rules [00:32] mib_mib, if all ip info is good its coming down to the conf files [00:32] nanotube: marcellus - there's notihng in there, lol! [00:32] mib_mib: can you ping the server from the client (what's the clients ip address btw?) [00:32] Legendre: put stuff in there. [00:32] hwilde: 180 is installing without uninstalling xorg [00:32] #include main() { printf("Hello, World"); return 0; } ./hello.c: line 5: syntax error near unexpected token `"Hello, World"' ./hello.c: line 5: ` printf("Hello, World");' [00:32] <{Onyx}> Is the server behind the router? [00:32] Legendre, in the device section for the video card specify the driver like: Driver "nvidia" [00:32] any idea why 185 and 190 have issues? [00:32] like seven lines of generic-y stuff [00:32] {Onyx}: yes, which is the main problem [00:32] <{Onyx}> try taking down the fireawll on the server then [00:33] zofrex, because they are beta? dunno I am happy with 180 and I have a quadro fx 570 pretty new [00:33] sudo nvidia-glx-config enable [00:33] alright [00:33] Anyone have a mobo with express gate? [00:33] I'm just trying to get OpenGL acceleration in X (weirdly VDPAU worked :S) [00:33] losher: i can ping it beautifully, as the client is behind the same router [00:33] hwilde: so anything I put in there will override the default? === _Apple_ is now known as _MrsApple_ [00:33] <_AaLinux> I want to play .mp3 files with rhythmbox , which plugins would i have to install? [00:34] {Onyx}: done, nothing stil [00:34] <{Onyx}> restricted-extras legendre [00:34] Legendre, theoretically [00:34] hwilde: you made my point [00:34] <{Onyx}> err aalinux [00:34] <{Onyx}> Hmmmm, [00:34] <{Onyx}> You have a port scanner mib? [00:34] mib_mib: then I would expect http://192.168.1.100 to work 'beautifully' too. I agree with {Onyx}. Try turning off the firewall temporarily.... [00:34] anyone know how to get transmission 1.6* or 1.7* on 8.10 64bit? [00:35] hwilde: I haven't dealt with X on deb/ubu before, and I was really taken aback when I saw that .conf file [00:35] losher: completely turned off [00:35] mib_mib: and...? [00:35] <_AaLinux> {Onyx}: What are the inner elements of restricted-extras? [00:35] losher: nothing! haha [00:35] hey guys...just looking for a recomendation....what do u guys think is the best VNC client? (must be available for win32) [00:35] losher: it must be the port forwarding isn't working....? [00:35] <{Onyx}> aalinux lots of codecs that don't come standard [00:35] dlp211: tightvnc is good [00:35] there is no fucus mode on aiming at open arena? - i dont understand how can i hit with such small dot [00:35] mib_mib: what are you trying to do? [00:36] marcellus: run a server behind a router [00:36] yea i have tight....just wondering if anyone was using somethin else [00:36] <{Onyx}> I've got a one shot command around here that installs everything media, let me see if i can find it [00:36] mib_mib: from the inside-the-network client, there isn't any port forwarding. It's direct to http://192.168.1.100 port 80. Nothing in the server logs? [00:36] mib_mib, yea check router setup [00:36] mib_mib: and what have you done so far? [00:36] i'm temporarily installing ubuntu on a USB stick to be used on only one machine for a week or two. should i use the liveusb creator or just run the normal ubuntu installer? [00:36] mib what router u have [00:36] losher: from the inside-the-network-client, 192.168.1.100 port 80 givves nothing [00:37] mib_mib: what's the client ip address? [00:38] 192.168.1.104 [00:39] marcellus: everything works on the server side, so from the server itself curl localhost works fine - set up the config files and virtual confs, from the outside, nothing comes in [00:39] mib_mib, i think there are too many hands in this issue...hope ya get it fixed...getting a little crowded! =) [00:39] i guess i can try changing the port that is forwarded [00:39] mib_mib: does it work within the LAN? [00:39] stlsaint: very much so, thanks! [00:40] marcellus: nope [00:40] mib_mib: ok, so a directly connected client (with no router involvement) fails, but it works for localhost, The kernel firewall is disabled (sure?). Next thing I'd check is the server logs to see if the server even sees the client request.... [00:40] losher: it doesn't see the request it looks like [00:40] hello :) [00:40] losher: i checked the apache and nginx logs [00:41] mib_mib: the only way I can explain that is if the kernel firewall is blocking the request... [00:41] mib_mib: have you checked the router log? [00:41] losher: i am using ubuntu, and have installed 'ufw' - i did ufw disable, so it is stopped completely. [00:41] salut ttlm [00:42] mib_mib: anything in "iptables -L" [00:42] mib_mib: double check that with sudo iptables -L [00:43] JohnCDI: your latest example compiles & runs for me... [00:44] <{Onyx}> I need to get back to learning programming as well. [00:44] <{Onyx}> I can modify code like no one's business but can't code anything from scratch [00:44] has some stuff, but just some BS, here is hte pastebin http://pastebin.com/d2ef28e9f [00:44] marcellus: i just enabled logging on the router, so i'm checking now [00:45] mib_mib: can you ping within the LAN? [00:45] {Onyx}: Now I have another problem...All the photos I print are grainy, and no amount of altering the settings fixes it [00:45] <{Onyx}> marcellus: he can [00:45] {Onyx}: some people work on 'sustaining' all their lives: they don't originate code, they only fix bugs in existing code. Nothing wrong with that... [00:46] <{Onyx}> Yeah, that's cool if I have something to work with as a template. But sometimes you need to do something new. [00:46] {Onyx}: You ever tried recursive computation when coding? [00:46] marcellus: yep, can ping within the lan [00:46] marcellus: the internal IP [00:46] but you can telnet to port 80 [00:47] can't [00:48] mib_mib: Is there a way you can check the routing table? [00:48] {Onyx}: well, start small, with a well-defined requirement for something... [00:50] having problems with the 64 bit version of ubuntu 9.04 version 2.6.28-15 causing lockups - doesn't do this with -14 -- any known issuses? [00:51] telnet 192.168.1.100 80 is refused immediately [00:51] mib_mib: Are you trying to telnet outside the network? [00:51] mnaines: no, inside the network [00:51] mib_mib: Is the router configured to disable telnet? [00:52] i wouldn't think so [00:52] but i can't be sure [00:52] mib_mib: Most routers, you have to manually tell them to enable telnet. All the ones I have worked with will not allow telnet or FTP by default [00:53] guys if I get error protoc: not found [00:53] what would I be missing? [00:53] mnaines: hes looking for http headers on port 80, not accessing telnet [00:53] mnaines: okay - i'm not actually concerned with telnet though, more concerned with tcp [00:53] mib_mib: You need CLI mode for that... [00:54] wait - i guess it doesn't make sense to use port 80 for port forwarding....wouldn't this mean that all my incoming traffic would forward to my server? [00:54] mib_mib: just so i understand right, your trying to access a web server from a LAN and its failing? [00:54] I don't see why the router would limit what you can do within the LAN by default. [00:55] musikgoat: setting up a server inside a lan (i.e. behind a router) [00:55] musikgoat: i'm also inside the lan, failing hard, yes [00:55] mib_mib: 80 is the port you need to get out to the internet. You want to do port forwarding, you might want to use a less-congested port === abcde is now known as Guest13433 [00:55] mnaines: that is not good advice [00:56] can one see this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=81895 [00:56] mib_mib: first troubleshoot the server not working in the lan, then troubleshoot port forwarding, which yes you will need to do to allow incoming requests to be routed to your server [00:56] mib_mib: I would suggest dropping all your iptables stuff [00:57] he has no such such stuff [00:57] drop all iptables? here they are: is this actually anything significant? http://pastebin.com/d2ef28e9f [00:57] <{Onyx}> Hmm, anyone fixed the annoying sound 9.04 makes when starting a video/music that's flash ? [00:57] marcellus: The reason you want to limit activity between computers on a LAN is because 90% of security breaches come from inside the network [00:58] mib_mib: then on the server, netstat -nl and check that the server is listening on 80 [00:58] when i use sudo apt-get install libssl0.9.6 in terminal it will tell me couldn't find package libssl0.9.6 [00:58] I have a power management problem in Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty. Settings are set to NEVER put monitor nor computer to sleep, but monitor sleeps after 10 min. Any ideas? [00:58] physic: Try taking off the version number...apt-get should install the most recent stable version by default [00:58] physic, this thread is from 2005 [00:59] <{Onyx}> heater_ check bios [00:59] on my d-link it is called Virtual Server and lists the common services and allows you to enable each i.e. port forwarding [00:59] Onyx: ok onyx i will do that [00:59] ok leave it [00:59] <{Onyx}> I was having a similar problem with my computer locking up when entering sleep mode even though i had sleep mode disabled in ubuntu [00:59] how i can download yahoo messenger client? [01:00] <{Onyx}> physic use pidgin [01:00] musikgoat: hmmm.... it has listening on 127.0.0.1:80 [01:00] <{Onyx}> it has support for pretty much all messengers === jack_ is now known as jackBrain [01:00] i have pidgin but my internet not good [01:00] mib_mib: but none on 0.0.0.0:80 or :::80 ? [01:00] physic, can you be more descriptive [01:01] Any decent guides for setting up Samba shares via the terminal? [01:01] btw.. pidgin will be replaced with empathy in next ubuntu release, right? [01:01] mib_mib: I'd check your httpd.conf file and make sure its setup correctly [01:01] i dont want pidgin i have it [01:01] foey: the config file has a good example i thougt [01:01] eminor, gross i know [01:01] i want yahoo messenger client [01:01] eminor: no [01:01] eminor: its not ready yet, they put back in pidgin as the default [01:01] <{Onyx}> that's ok, next install I'm thinking about going with kubuntu because it's all industrial with K's instead of C's [01:01] ah, ok [01:02] musikgoat: okay, i actually have a few conf files - apache is listening on 127.0.0.1:80, and nginx is serving static content (and passing other stuff through 127.0.0.1:80) - and nginx is listening on port 80 with my router ip address.... [01:02] <{Onyx}> Kommander always makes me think of Kompressor [01:02] how to install office 2007 in wine? [01:02] physic, im sorry, but that's not going to happen. you aren't going to be able to use yahoo messenger client, however pidgin and other messaging clients will work with your yahoo ID [01:02] mib_mib: for testing purposes, until you get the client->server case working, I would flush all iptables: /sbin/iptables -F; /sbin/iptables -X; /sbin/iptables -Z [01:02] Docteh : Yeh, ill have to go and read through that. I've managed to share a folder via webmin but no one has write permissions for it. Just wondering if that was the best way to go about it or just use the Samba config file. [01:02] losher: okay [01:02] do i just install wine then run X12-30307.exe? [01:02] mib_mib: i think you have a port conflict then [01:03] you shouldn't have two services on the same port [01:03] scott_ino,pidgin couldn't open with me [01:03] physic, what do you mean "open" [01:03] mib_mib: choose one on 80 and move the other to 8080 or 8000 or something [01:03] i mean did not open yahoo id [01:04] mib_mib: I agree with musikgoat. You can't have two programs listening on the same port.... [01:04] physic: You have to go to www.pidgin.im and update pidgin to get Yahoo to work properly [01:04] mnaines: they do not host ubuntu packages, check the pidgin ppa [01:04] physic: ^^ [01:04] If a webcam is said to be "supported out of the box" on Ubuntu, what should happen after I plug it in? How do I use it? [01:04] mnaines, what did they change recently [01:04] ok [01:05] !ppa | physic [01:05] physic: With Launchpad's Personal Package Archives (PPA), you can build and publish binary Ubuntu packages for multiple architectures simply by uploading an Ubuntu source package to Launchpad. See https://help.launchpad.net/PPAQuickStart. [01:05] GBGames, open up Ekiga to test [01:05] I'm trying to set up an SB Audigy under Jaunty, but I never get any sound. I've followed all of the walkthroughs I've found, and none seem to get me anywhere. where should I start? [01:05] musikgoat: What are you talking about? [01:05] <{Onyx}> yahoo connects fine for me in pidgin [01:05] pidgin.im doesn't have ubuntu packages [01:05] foey: you might be better off just using the config file directly unless webmin causes issues with that [01:05] <[t0rc]> suggestions for best solution for iPods? (cover support, etc.) [01:05] scott_ino: I went through it before, but now I see when I open it, there is a webcam icon. And there I am! [01:05] B-) [01:05] Thanks! [01:06] musikgoat: It doesn't need them...Pidgin has a PPA key that is required to update pidgin so that Yahoo can run properly [01:06] webmin should work even if you manually config samba, so id use the manual config editing [01:06] to learn to do it manualy first [01:06] foey: are you trying to share a home directory or a different dir? [01:06] Docteh : Yeh ill have a play. Thanks. [01:06] hi [01:06] GBGames, no problem you can also use Skype, VLC, Cheese and many others for webcam awesomeness [01:06] <{Onyx}> i saw a good tutorial on configuring samba [01:06] <{Onyx}> let me see if i can find it again [01:06] I'm trying to set up an SB Audigy under Jaunty, but I never get any sound. I've followed all of the walkthroughs I've found, and none seem to get me anywhere. where should I start? [01:07] Docteh : I've created a folder within home /home/shared [01:07] Onyx: well bios didn't have anything wrong [01:07] scott_ino: I got a webcam for my girlfriend as well. She'll be on Windows. Any suggestions for software we can use to talk to each other? [01:07] Brasero sits normalizing tracks forever... does anyone else have this problem? [01:07] GBGames, yeah honestly I use VOIP a lot and the new Ekiga sound quality is amazing, much better than skype in my opinion (which i use as well) [01:07] skype will work [01:07] <{Onyx}> http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu-home-fileserver [01:07] musikgoat: www.pidgin.im just has a Pidgin-specific PPA key on the website. Copy and paste it into the terminal, then go into the package manager and search for pidgin, select "upgrade" then install the upgrade [01:07] GBGames, use skype or Ekiga (which has a windows version as well) [01:07] what is the channel for wine? [01:07] <{Onyx}> Hmmm, monitor setting? [01:08] Thanks! [01:08] scott_ino, is latest version [01:08] Anyone familiar with ecryptfs? It keeps unmounting my home directory. [01:08] physic, ? what [01:08] Onyx: nah, i have the monitor hooked up to both windows and ubuntu, windows doesn't sleep the monitor [01:08] O___o: #winehq [01:08] O___o, winehq [01:08] my pidgin is up to date [01:08] glens, i have an audigy 2 ZS in my second pc and it's working out of the box with ubuntu [01:08] IdleOne, thx [01:09] <{Onyx}> did you check screen saver settings? [01:09] mnaines: nice, they have made it clearer, last time i visited, the site didn't have any real instructions for ubuntu users [01:09] 2late ;/ [01:09] Now I just have to learn about using webcam stuff. It's my first ever. [01:09] {Onyx}: you didn't ask, but the best book I *ever* read on learning how to design software (as opposed to just coding) is http://www.amazon.com/Software-Tools-Pascal-Brian-Kernighan/dp/0201103427/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1254354955&sr=1-10. Don't mind the fact that it's in Pascal. You can code the examples yourself in C or Java or anything else you want. It's the design that's important... [01:09] anyone here successfully install office 2007 in ubuntu thru wine? [01:09] physic, someone else in this chat suggested you need to use a even newer version than what's included in the ubuntu repositories, which means you will have to use the PPA [01:10] physic, although another person has said that it works with the latest version, i don't have a yahooID so i can't check for you [01:10] does cdrecord decode mp3? [01:10] i dont nkow whats ppa? [01:10] physic: http://pidgin.im/download/ubuntu/ [01:10] physic: follow their instructions [01:10] <{Onyx}> I don't think I've updated pidgin unless it went through an auto update and yahoo works fine on pidgin [01:11] ok thanks [01:11] <{Onyx}> I just added an account, selected protocol yahoo and put in my user+pass [01:11] physic: you might also get answers in the #pidgin channel [01:11] twobitsprite: no. You need .wav files for cdrecord. You can convert .mp3 to .wav using lame. It might be easier to just use k3b... [01:11] my internet not good [01:12] {Onyx}: im an idiot.....i cannot believe i over looked that [01:12] rather - one is listening on 127.0.0.1:80, and the second is listening on the external port :80 [01:12] <{Onyx}> Na, we all overlook stuff [01:12] <{Onyx}> That's the biggest problem I have with experienced computer users that call in for support. They KNOW it is a hardware problem because they checked everything and resist anything I tell them to try :) [01:12] {Onyx}: i appreciate your help, thank you [01:12] losher: I'd rather install something that doesn't require KDE libs... The default Gnome app doesn't work [01:13] I'm having a hard time installing ubuntu 9.04 from a flash drive onto a computer currently running windows xp. When I boot, I get the message "Gave up waiting for root device". Would anyone have any idea what to do? [01:13] mib_mib: if you have a service bound to that external port:80, then you cannot serve apache on that port and expect it to be reachable by anything other than the server itself [01:13] hi folks [01:13] {Onyx}: hahaha lol === ^Einstei1 is now known as ^Einstein [01:13] mib_mib: that might explain why http://localhost works, but http://192.168.1.100 doesn't. They were talking to different apps... [01:13] dos somebody kow the address of the aircrack-ng irc chan ? [01:13] <[t0rc]> any suggestions for best solution for iPods? (cover support, etc.) [01:14] <{Onyx}> My suggestion for iPods is to get a regular mp3 player [01:14] hahaha lol [01:14] <{Onyx}> I can't stand the damn things with having to sync through iTunes [01:14] {Onyx}: hear, hear [01:14] <{Onyx}> Regular mp3 player you just drag and drop the files onto the mp3 player. [01:14] [t0rc], banshee is probably best [01:14] AutoMatriX: umm, isn't it openexploit or something? [01:14] yup exaclty [01:14] itunes sucks [01:15] {Onyx}, hopefully the new banshee development going on now will fix that ;-) [01:15] I'm a huge fan of my Sony Walkman mp3 player [01:15] AutoMatriX: #remote-exploit [01:15] musikgoat, might be, going to check that, did not want to download the whole server list [01:15] [t0rc], what kind of ipod [01:15] {Onyx}: I can sync mine with Rythmbox [01:15] tx so much musikgoat [01:15] AutoMatriX: at least they might be able to help, its backtrack's channel [01:15] <{Onyx}> I was talking about the whole syncing in the first place. [01:15] twobitsprite: no problem. Just make a directory and use lame --decode to expand the mp3s into wavs. Then you can do cdrecord -v -tao speed=20 dev=/dev/cdrom -eject -pad driveropts=burnfree -audio *.wav [01:15] <{Onyx}> I prefer just being able to drag my crap over. [01:16] losher: I suppose that works... I would have liked another GUI to try... but that works for now, thanks [01:16] {Onyx}, of course... the entire concept of "sync" is retarded in my opinion [01:16] there's just gotta be a better way [01:16] <{Onyx}> Hey heater, speaking of overlooking things. First time I booted backtrack I couldn't get my net connection to work. I tried everything, except sudo ifconfig eth0 up. [01:16] scott_ino: there is... it's called USB mass storage... drag and drop music files [01:17] anyone? I'm trying to initiate an open source-revolution in my NGO, and it's going to look really stupid if I can't even install ubuntu on a single laptop... [01:17] NGO? [01:17] <{Onyx}> non gov org [01:17] which NGO? [01:17] a company? [01:17] not a company [01:17] twobitsprite, what? [01:17] a norwegian one [01:17] I'm currently in Bolivia [01:18] cool [01:18] twobitsprite, what did i ask im confused [01:18] twobitsprite: er, there's brasero, and there must be others, depending on your OS version. The GUI burning progs are nearly all buggy for some reason... [01:18] scott_ino: you said "there's got to be a better way [than syncing]" [01:18] is there any repo for pyqt4.5.4? [01:18] <{Onyx}> k3b is my fav [01:18] losher: brasero is the one that isn't working for me [01:19] it just sits forever at "normalizing tracks" [01:19] twobitsprite, oh lol yeah, but doesn't work on all ipods, itouch, iphone [01:19] scott_ino: ohh, I wasn't talking about ipod/etc... I was talking about real mp3 players [01:20] Norway is quietly invading Bolivia and will dig fjords all over the place.. [01:20] <{Onyx}> real mp3 players you just drag the file to the mp3 player [01:20] marcellus: mischan? [01:20] marcellus: we certainly will [01:20] twobitsprite, i know i know i own a Zen, and just do the whol USB thing, however if you asked me how important iphone/itouch linux support was I'd say 10/10 [01:20] i know of at least 5 people that literally wont switch because of that [01:21] mischan? [01:21] {Onyx}: Sadly, it wasn't my choice to get an iPod...Last company I worked for was a publishing company...I routinely was assigned chauffeur duties for the boss' daughter and she nagged me until I got one [01:21] scott_ino: bah... [01:21] the question is whether or not ubuntu will help us do it [01:21] marcellus: you said something completely off topic, I thought maybe you typed it in the wrong window [01:21] haha [01:21] twobitsprite, i mean honestly... it HAS to happen for widespread linux adoption I'd say it's equally as important nowadays as... .doc support in open office [01:22] twobitsprite: er, try gnomebaker, xcdroast, I'm sure there are others. They're pretty much all dreadful. k3b is the best of a bad bunch... [01:22] <{Onyx}> I'd say gaming support would be more imprtant [01:22] scott_ino: I'm not really concerned with wide-spread linux adoption... I like it, and if other people don't... that's fine [01:22] <{Onyx}> If we could get native support for games it would be the pwn. [01:22] twobitsprite, I own a linux company [01:22] how can i purge all grub2 configs and revert to grub-legacy? [01:22] lol so im a little more concerned [01:22] there was no program when i installed ubuntu like when i use to install linux to pick programs i want to install with it where is that program within ubuntu [01:22] scott_ino: ohh... then maybe you should develop itunes support [01:23] twobitsprite, I don't code, I' [01:23] m the hardware guy [01:23] me like build things [01:23] <{Onyx}> deathfox try add/remove programs from apps or synaptic from system [01:23] scott_ino: well, your company then [01:23] {Onyx}: I do like using iPods over other mp3 players, though, because of the USB thing...I can run USB to my car stereo from the iPod...If I had any other type of mp3 player, I'd have to get a permanently-mounted adapter that connects to the back of the stereo [01:23] k [01:23] tks [01:23] scott_ino: Actually, I'd prefer linux not achieve wide-spread adoption. It will just attract viruses writers etc... [01:23] twobitsprite, not really what we do, we specialize in LTSP environments, and other business related open source services [01:24] mnaines: get a better stereo... one that supports USB mass storage [01:24] DeathFox: you are looking for Synaptic? [01:24] scott_ino: do your customers need itunes support? [01:24] but then people won't look at me funny when they find out I use linux instead of windows or OS X! [01:24] <{Onyx}> everyone thinks they need itunes support [01:24] DeathFox: nvm, i see someone responded [01:24] losher, true, things on the virus end would get much worse but nowhere near what windows has been in my opinion [01:24] twobitsprite: I doubt I can find one for less than 200 USD [01:24] mnaines: how much did your itunes-nazi stereo cost? [01:24] <{Onyx}> People think they need a lot of crap that they don't. [01:25] twobitsprite, yes.. they do, it's pretty important, but it looks like some dev guys from banshee are already well ontop of it, again we don't have the time or resources to aid in software development [01:25] twobitsprite: The head unit was a Sony system and cost 120 USD [01:25] twobitsprite, maybe when i get more money i can contribute ;-) [01:25] hey guys, having an issue mountin windows shares. I'm using: sudo mount -t vboxsf -o uid=$USER,gid=$USER Music /media/Share1 [01:25] scott_ino: who is we? [01:26] scott_ino: ohh... well you said itunes support was vital to linux, and linux adoption was vital to your company... sounds to me like your company has a vested interest in linux itunes support... sounds like a good reason to contribute [01:26] DigitalKiwi, it's actually just two of us, used to be four, we're a small business based in arlington,VA [01:26] ah [01:26] twobitsprite: It is HD Radio and Satellite Radio ready, front-mount 1-wire USB, rear-mount auxiliary, with AM/FM/CD/USB/Aux functionality [01:26] DigitalKiwi, although we've done a few exciting projects recently, particularly with mass linux adoption in low income areas etc.. [01:27] mnaines: and you don't think you could have found a stereo with usb support for that much? [01:27] twobitsprite, oh absolutely, id even be willing to give my free time however I'm not really sure what I can offer as im not a coder ;-) === Lappy_ is now known as Lappy [01:27] mnaines: http://www.anythingbutipod.com/archives/car-audio/ [01:27] twobitsprite: None of the other brands had head units with that many features for less than 200 USD [01:28] twobitsprite, not in "desperate" need of itunes support/iphone support, but it would certainly help quite a bit, and it's a bigger issue than just itunes. It's about hardware development and implementation in general [01:29] twobitsprite, if a large percentage of your potential customers happen to have ipods, they're going to want to be able to use them on a machine they own easily ;-) [01:29] so yeah that's my story.. [01:29] <{Onyx}> hardware dev isn't really our issue though. The community is great about it when a company opens the drivers, and a lot of times even when they don't. [01:29] twobitsprite: The problem with all of the ones on that site is none of them are compatible with HD Radio or Satellite Radio tuners [01:29] how to dpkg all packages i dnt know command line [01:29] scott_ino: the reason I make a big deal about this, is so many people want to complain about the lack of this-or-that feature in GNU/Linux distros, but don't realize that most of it is charity-ware... i.e., if you want something, do it yourself [01:29] {Onyx}, that's why im not worried about it, because more and more hardware is being available to the public [01:30] heyho: what are you trying to accomplish? [01:30] <{Onyx}> The problem is with companies that won't open their drivers and won't support linux [01:30] twobitsprite, absolultely I agree with you, I see myself as part of the "linux solution" not just a user [01:30] scott_ino: excellent... that's great to hear [01:31] <{Onyx}> I prefer community drivers anyway. I'll never buy another x-fi card after all the issues I've had with this one. [01:31] scott_ino: I am also interested in getting more support for Linux [01:31] <{Onyx}> And that's with creative's provided drivers [01:31] {Onyx}: www.razerzone.com is where I got my soundcard...Razer Barracuda is the one I got [01:31] i downloade pidgin 2.6.2 in zip [01:32] mnaines, most of us are :-) what's good about all of this is that more and more users are starting to get involved in projects, etc. [01:32] how i can install it? [01:32] <{Onyx}> You happy with the sound quality and microphone/headset support? [01:32] physic: you didn't follow instructions [01:32] musikgoat: i need to run dpkg for all packages do you know command [01:32] i forgot it [01:32] {Onyx}, i have a sales person using one right now as we speak, over 500 calls and counting on a 14 dollar headset [01:32] musikgoat in page told me download pidgin 2.6.2 [01:32] {Onyx}: Stereo microphone, <0.01% THD at 1kHz, true 5.1 channel surround sound, and Razer's proprietary High Definition Digital Audio Interface [01:33] musikgoat so i downloADED [01:33] {Onyx}, i realize that might not have been directed at me sorry ;-) im getting confused [01:33] <{Onyx}> sweet, thanks [01:33] {Onyx}: The HD-DAI uses the same type of connection as DVI-I, but it outputs audio instead of video [01:34] physic: hmm, it looks like 2.6.1 is the latest build in the PPA, did someone say that yahoo was fixed in 2.6.2 only? [01:34] <{Onyx}> I've got an x-fi xtreme music and the mic doesn't work for crap. If I turn the volume down so it isn't blaring out of the speaker/headset then it doesn't work and wine doesn't like it for a mic period [01:35] musikgoat no [01:35] <{Onyx}> Haven't tried with using OSS in wine, which supports my on board sound chip's mic a lot better. [01:35] {Onyx}: I've had people comment on the quality...They said its just like I'm sitting right next to them and talking to them [01:35] physic: have you read this? http://theflamingbanker.blogspot.com/2009/06/some-clarification-on-yahoo-issues.html [01:36] hi [01:36] i will go to pidgin channel [01:36] wrong window [01:36] musikgoat no [01:36] <{Onyx}> O, you guys are talking headsets. [01:36] <{Onyx}> I'm talking about sound cards :) [01:37] can someone point me to a site for creating a ubuntu usb bootable flash install from windows? [01:37] {Onyx}: The Razer Barracuda is great...Made by gamers for gamers...Utilizes 3 dimensional positional audio for a true surround sound experience, the sound card itself has an onboard 500MHz processor with 32MB of RAM for excellent audio processing capabilities...That allows for the best possible sound quality, the use of a stereo microphone, and the lowest total harmonic distortion in the industry [01:37] !unetbootin | bluebaron [01:37] bluebaron: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [01:38] <{Onyx}> NM, looks like they have a headset by the same name. [01:38] <{Onyx}> Looking at a review of the card now. === hey` is now known as grumete [01:38] {Onyx}: Yeah...That's designed to be used with the sound card... [01:39] im having an install issue with jaunty, can anyone help? [01:39] {Onyx}: Let me just add in my own review - The in-game sound from this card will easily trick your mind into thinking you're really there [01:39] Here is a question, anyone get blu-ray playback in linux yet? [01:39] musikgoat, ty [01:39] mib_mib: so did you resolve your server issue? [01:39] can gnome in ubuntu have a clear terminal [01:39] {Onyx}: The sound quality is so good, its as close to real as you'll ever get === gmaculo_ is now known as gmaculo [01:40] heater, yes you can do it for certain blu-ray disks, however requires quite a bit of effort from what i understand [01:40] <{Onyx}> How much do they run? [01:40] {Onyx}: The prices are on the site...I think the headset runs 120USD [01:40] <{Onyx}> If the video card is all I need to replace on the dead XPS system in my guest room then I may be able to swing it. [01:40] scott_ino: hmmm....so on top of that it would prob be much harder to get it to run through XBMC also then? [01:40] heater let me find you the page [01:40] i made a jaunty usb boot disk, and im using it as im typing in this IRC chat right now, but it doenst have the installl button on the desktop. is there like a sudo i need to run in the term?

[01:41] scott_ino: alright thanks [01:41] {Onyx}: The great news is the most recent ALSA drivers in Linux will run the Barracuda just fine [01:41] heyho: you can play hd-dvd? or hd rips? [01:41] can you have a transparent terminal in gnome [01:42] hater: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/BluRayAndHDDVD [01:42] DeathFox: yes. [01:42] how? [01:42] <{Onyx}> $120 is a bit steep but I'm sure I'd be using the same card for years. [01:42] DeathFox: gnome-terminal supports transparency. [01:42] how bad is this? my comp just randomly hung (ubuntu hardy); according to /var/log/messages i see: Sep 29 15:06:22 desktop-igloo kernel: [2234774.575997] end_request: I/O error, dev sr0, sector 0 [01:42] hey guys, having an issue mountin windows shares.

[01:43] <{Onyx}> Don't think I've ever had a sound card die on me either. [01:43] {Onyx}: Its great for movies and music, especially when coupled with the Barracuda headset [01:43] <_AaLinux> I'm trying to read line from file . Where is the error ? http://pastebin.com/m4af665df [01:43] {Onyx}: the sound card has never been worth thinking about for gaming :P [01:44] whatever's on your mobo gets the job done [01:44] kansan: it's a read error on your cdrom. Could be just a bad CD/DVD disk, or it could be the drive is starting to go bad. The only way to know for sure is try another disk...

[01:45] hi [01:45] kansan: because it says dev sr0, which is the cdrom...

[01:50] sidney: you probably installed a kde app [01:50] Yes. A lot of useful apps use the KDE libraries, and apps 'native' to either run just fine on both. [01:51] Keiya: Is it true Gnome and KDE apps are cross-compatible with either desktop? [01:52] hi [01:52] mnaines: Yep! [01:52] <{Onyx}> mnaines pretty much. [01:52] can someone help me with something? [01:52] <{Onyx}> you'll have to install qt and stuff but any kde app you install will install that. [01:52] cyphase: does the add remove install kde apps under gnome? [01:52] {Onyx}: What are some ways a newbie like myself can contribute to the Linux community?

[01:54] <{Onyx}> Command line's no problem for me, got familiar with it downloading porn from IRC when I was a kid :) [01:54] lol {Onyx} [01:54] If ubuntu would run my tv card i would never boot windows purposely [01:54] I doubt I'd ever be able to wean myself off the GUI because of all the years I've been a Windows sheep [01:54] <{Onyx}> Then from there I went through my bad computer nerd phase and got familiar with the command line from other people's systems. [01:54] m [01:54] Did you use the entire hard drive, or did you use a partition on it, MlRegister? [01:54] mnaines: once you learn the power of the command line.. we may never get you away from it ;) [01:54] MlRegister: please open a terminal and run 'sudo fdisk -l' and paste the output to paste.ubuntu.com [01:54] <{Onyx}> I see no reason to ween yourself off a gui [01:54] i used the entire drive [01:54] hi [01:54] ok [01:54] <{Onyx}> For some things GUI is great and for some things command line is better. [01:55] mnaines: I used windows for like 15 years and now CLI is what i prefer, you can do it too! [01:55] mnaines: The lovely bit is you don't have to - I use both, and they play together nicely :J [01:55] distrohopper: Yeah...The problem is going to be teaching me CLI...I'm too dependent on the GUI right now [01:55] incoming....

[01:55] I've been using linux full time for about a year now, and I am still learning [01:55] losher: not yet, still working on it [01:55] <{Onyx}> the most important command lines are command --help and man command [01:55] distrohopper: I've only been using Ubuntu since June [01:55] !paste | MlRegister [01:55] MlRegister: 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!

[01:56] or 'man ' is another good learnign resource [01:56] <{Onyx}> another important command is man why did you leave your wife? always good for a laugh. [01:57] sidney: No...It is because of Windows' user friendliness and the popularity [01:57] distrohopper: I've been using unix/linux since 1974 and I'm still learning... [01:57] alias woman='man' [01:57] losher: and I thought I was old ;) [01:57] <{Onyx}> Windows is only user friendly until it breaks, which is often. [01:57] Pretty much everything on Windows is automated these days...That's where the security holes come from [01:57] Well, to a degree, bu just because it's code. Really, what makes Windows vulnerable is that it was designed as a single-user system to be used by people who knew 'everything'. [01:57] Losher: http://paste.ubuntu.com/282583/ [01:57] Anyone around that can help with a sound issue on 9.04 with an asus p5k deluxe mobo? [01:57] distrohopper: nah, I'm ancient... [01:57] And then it became popular. [01:58] Keiya: Windows was designed for the computer illiterate...That's the main reason its such a big security risk [01:58] mnaines: ok understand [01:58] <{Onyx}> First time I used linux was when like 1985 [01:58] im totally new to linux :P [01:58] {Onyx}, i suddenly feel very young ;-) [01:58] So you have an architecture that's designed for power over security, and it's ubiqtuous or however it's spelled.

[01:59] DigitalKiwi: Ubuntu is easy to use, but its not that easy...There are still some things on Ubuntu that require command line and knowledge of Linux [01:59] It's targeted at people who can read and write at a sixth-grade level :P\ [01:59] LIKE! [01:59] Anyone around that can help with a sound issue on 9.04 with an asus p5k deluxe mobo? [01:59] <{Onyx}> linux is user friendly. just a little more picky about who it makes friends with. [01:59] DigitalKiwi, i think they meant like.. the open source philosophy, not supid people [02:00] ;-) [02:00] scott_ino: what $14 headset were you talking about earlier? I didn't see a model number... [02:00] ummm losher let me check === andrew__ is now known as D-rew [02:00] {Onyx}: Linux doesn't like making friends, though...Windows boxes will be friends with anyone and anything...Linux boxes are like shy people [02:01] my rule of thumb is, if you are not an idiot, windows can be ok. [02:01] shy people don't like making friends? [02:01] <{Onyx}> I have to say one thing about linux. If you're willing to look for help it is a lot easier to find. [02:01] shy people just need a little bit of encouragement [02:01] can anyone help with loading ubuntu on a pc [02:01] {Onyx}: My rule of thumb is "Any geek worth his salt would use Linux over Windows any day" [02:01] will ubuntu alow a user account without a password? [02:02] <{Onyx}> Any time I have a problem with Windows that I can't figure out I have to dig through 18 pages of me too!'s [02:02] sternohead: Sure! Do you have a CD ready, or do you need to burn it? yet.

[02:02] sidney: None of the Linux distros will do that [02:02] i have a cd [02:02] sidney: All accounts /must/ have a password... but Ubuntu /does/ allow autologin [02:02] <_AaLinux> losher: I want to stop after printing 0, why is it printing negative numbers?http://pastebin.com/m7f12dc01 [02:02] sidney: you can set up ubuntu to automatically log you in, but you need a password for things like sudo [02:02] sidney: it can be done, but it's not recommended... [02:02] Beardbar_, grep [02:02] STOP! [02:02] hammer time. [02:02] chalcedony: i was being polite, if i meant to be rude instead of computer illiterate I would have said stupid people, the nice thing about windows is that anyone can figure out how to use it in a very short amount of time for what most people use stuff for...linux takes a bit longer [02:02] so about this audio issue [02:03] that i need some help with [02:03] Keiya: But even with autologin, its not like Windows because you still don't get root privileges by default [02:03] mnaines: You don't on Vista or 7 either. [02:03] DigitalKiwi, it didn't seem very tactful [02:03] you can even send me a pm so you can still talk about windows in a linux chan, i won't mind [02:03] Well, you do, you just have to click through annoying dialogs [02:03] <_AaLinux> I want to stop after printing 0, why is it printing negative numbers?http://pastebin.com/m7f12dc01 [02:04] Keiya: Actually, the only thing that Windows Vista and Windows 7 do is pop up endless dialogs saying "Are you sure you want to do this?" "Are you sure you're sure?" [02:04] i'll trust a password over just clickin OK any day [02:04] <{Onyx}> Yeah, but linux has things set up better so even if you do get a "virus" all it can do is trash your home folder. [02:04] <{Onyx}> Windows any user can infect the whole system unless it is a guest account. [02:04] (Yes! It only took until 2007 for Microsoft to implement a half-assed sudo!) [02:04] mnaines, you have not used windows 7 obviously [02:04] hola [02:04] {Onyx}: And I like Linux because even if you get a virus, you can just rewrite the darn thing and send it right back to the attacker [02:04] lol my harddisk sounds like a diesel engine :D [02:04] _AaLinux: I added sleep 1 to the loop and executed it with sh -x. The test is incorrect. If you read the man page, you [02:04] there is this neeto option that you can turn off, called the UAC. [02:05] <{Onyx}> rubinioo time for a new hdd :) [02:05] Sonorous: I have, and i haven't been prompted for a password for anything [02:05] yeah :D [02:05] * Sonorous fails to see your point [02:05] <{Onyx}> Yeah, but you turn off UAC and you'll be running around in SU [02:05] mnaines: i wrote a program to paste text to pastebin sites, it has a --vista option [02:05] -V, --vista Asks a random number of times for confirmation in amusing ways [02:05] <{Onyx}> Besides, most idiots don't pay attention to what is asking for permission to run and just click ok. [02:05] it is its best feature [02:05] Linksys / Cisco Compact Wireless-G USB Adapter (WUSB54GC) does this work on ubuntu [02:05] Sonorous: eh, its offtopic anyways... [02:06] k [02:06] Keiya i have the cd and it freezes up when i get to putting in where i live at i tried in safe graphics mode and it didn't help [02:06] losher: hey ive got three harddrives in my computer, a 320gb with vista, a clean 80gb, and a new 320 with ubuntu on it "supposedly" [02:06] does anybody know how I would go about diagnosing slow copy speeds? I have two sata drives and when I try to copy big files >500mb from one drive to another I get really slow copy speeds like 5mb/sec [02:06] !ubuntuhcl | omeddragon [02:06] Sorry, I don't know anything about ubuntuhcl [02:06] DigitalKiwi: Yeah...There are a lot of benefits to Linux over Windows...I like the higher integrated security and the fact I don't need an antivirus [02:06] so back to my tricky asus p5k with no sound on ubuntu [02:06] anyone? [02:06] omeddragon: check out http://www.ubuntuhcl.org/ [02:06] not even a nibble? [02:07] mnaines: http://pasteit.ghost1227.com/index.php/view/71602464 [02:07] giggle [02:07] sternohead: Odd...

You are booting from the CD, right? :J [02:07] wait huh> [02:08] yes [02:08] my english is poor... i'm sorry [02:08] DigitalKiwi: What is that for? [02:08] DigitalKiwi: Funny, yes, but what was its intended purpose? [02:08] i see what you meant now cegopaiva [02:08] curlpaste, pastebin uploader I wrote that uses lua and curl [02:08] uhm. anyone here know if ubuntu is capable of utilizing all 4 Gigs of my ram and my 64 bit proccessor? [02:08] I've been trying to view video streaming but firefox keeps asking for installation of microsoft silverlight---uninstallable on jaunty. Any alternatives for this? [02:09] huston, if you install the 64 bit version of ubuntu then yes [02:09] i wold like learn many things here [02:09] it's actually a really cool little program =D [02:09] losher, u said there wasnt a linux partition? [02:09] huston: I use 64-bit Ubuntu and I have a 64-bit Intel Core2 Quad with 4GB of RAM...Ubuntu doesn't even put a dent in my machine [02:09] ive got some problems with my ubuntu karmic computer.. i upgraded all packages yesterday and now my computer boots into some kind of single user mode and logs in as root as default.. what can i do about it? it also seems that many services are not started. [02:09] how do i change the login screen background image [02:09] <{Onyx}> huston, if you're using 64bit ubuntu then yes. [02:09] Orfeous, this isn't the place for Karmic support [02:09] Orfeous, try ubuntu+1 [02:09] huston: I can run Ubuntu 64-bit full steam and never once notice a change in performance [02:09] ok, sorry :) [02:10] What's that one state that's like in Canada [02:10] does ubuntu have a PAE kernel available? [02:10] MlRegister: that's how it looks. Linux partitions would say Linux in the output. How did you install linux? [02:10] thanks keiya [02:10] i'm running windopwsd right now i know how to install ubuntu to dual boot. do i need a specific ionstall disc though? [02:10] is there a way to change the image on the login screen [02:10] I'm having problems with sound. I just installed Jaunty on my desktop and until today, sound worked fine. But yesterday I unplugged my speakers to plug into a laptop, and now today my desktop has no sound. [02:11] Losher: i was booted into vista when i did it, i installed it to a newly formatted 320gb SATA hdd that i just installed in my pc today. [02:11] _AaLinux: was that enough for you to figure it out? [02:11] {Onyx}: What are some good apps for learning how to write code for the Linux kernel? [02:11] <_AaLinux> losher: I'm testing , editing [02:11] My the way, at the earlier malware discussion, reminds me of a joke from the GNU humor archive: http://www.gnu.org/fun/jokes/evilmalware.html [02:12] (I'm sure most of you have seen it, but it's good for a laugh anyway.) [02:12] mnaines: http://pasteit.ghost1227.com/index.php/view/37382892 [02:12] how do i change the login image on gnome [02:12] DeathFox: system -login i think [02:12] losher did u see that last response from me? [02:12] MlRegister: normally, one boots the ubuntu livecd and installs from it. I think you did a *wubi* install, which means you installed ubuntu as a windows application. I don't know much about wubi, sorry... [02:13] #losher ok ill reinstall no biggie, havent really done anything except update it so far [02:14] DigitalKiwi: I got a question...Are having the Linux kernel firewall in restrictive mode, my computers on a different subnet, and the router on that subnet locked down tight good for security? [02:14] MlRegister: ok, be careful to make sure you install to the correct disk, or you'll end up overwriting your windows install.... [02:14] <{Onyx}> Speaking of Windows insecurity, wasn't the Windows box the last one to go down during the last defcon? [02:14] <{Onyx}> The Mac being first. [02:14] losher: he's gone [02:14] {Onyx}: That was Linux...The last Defcon, the Mac box went down in 10 minutes, the Windows Vista Service Pack 1 box took 2 days, but they didn't want to write the exploit code for Linux [02:14] DigitalKiwi: scary.... [02:15] <_AaLinux> losher: "$var" -gt 0 , it works , but why doesn't it work? "$var" > 0 , isn't that same? [02:15] <{Onyx}> I should go to the next defcon. [02:16] can anybody help with a sound problem? [02:16] {Onyx}: I want to learn hacking, too...And by Hacking I mean learning what the exploits are and how to fix them [02:17] <{Onyx}> I'm more interested in not being the smartest person in the room. [02:17] <{Onyx}> Would be a nice change! [02:17] learn C/C++ and the gnu debugger..

See 'man test'. The syntax is old and clunky. See 'man bash' under compound commands and arithmetic expressions for better syntax... [02:18] im not asking you to read my mind [02:18] sorry, posted above: (08:10:44 PM) Danbo19: I'm having problems with sound. I just installed Jaunty on my desktop and until today, sound worked fine.

[02:20] UbuntuPoop: Go to Synaptic, search for Flash, then scroll down until you find the Adobe Flash Player Plugin [02:20] dethaddr, yeah, that might help. or sudo ubiquity [02:20] I dont like flash at all... screws up my system [02:20] Hi, I tried installing a package, but I get this: http://pastebin.com/d3a9e355d and now any time I try to install another package, I get told to do "apt-get -f install", but I only get more errors [02:20] <{Onyx}> Speaking of flash, anyone figured out how to get rid of that annoying sound everytime a flash app loads. [02:20] nope, that didn't work [02:21] d'oh! thought that was right [02:21] good evening all [02:21] nothing happend with f2/nautilus [02:21] {Onyx}: Doesn't make a sound for me when a flash app loads [02:21] <{Onyx}> Maybe I need to update flash. [02:21] Hello. Is there any way for me to remove network devices? === Distro is now known as BumpTop_Prototyp [02:21] {Onyx}: Or use the Adobe flash player instead of the other one [02:21] dethaddr, can u open an xterm or gnome-terminal ? [02:21] <{Onyx}> That's what I'm using. [02:21] d0wn, easy [02:21] got it [02:22] a [02:22] ThatGuyOverThere: you can configure them to be 'down' using ifconfig. But why do you need to? [02:22] d0wn, sudo dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/gstreamer0.10-plugins-farsight_0.12.10-2_i386.deb [02:22] trying to apt-get usb-creator and I get the error "Couldn't find package usb-creator"... any thoughts? I'm on Ubuntu 8.04. [02:22] laclasse: thanks :] i'll try [02:22] a [02:22] dethadder, are you familiar with tab completion? [02:22] Well, I'm using a PS3. Bottom line, if you want to connect to wifi, you have to have the ethernet device disabled. === BumpTop_Prototyp is now known as BumpTop [02:22] guest17747, can u do a sudo apt-get update and try it again? [02:23] I'm having problems with sound. I just installed Jaunty on my desktop and until today, sound worked fine. But yesterday I unplugged my speakers to plug into a laptop, and now today my desktop has no sound. The sound guide on the forums seems to only have information for people who haven't gotten sound to work at all. [02:23] sorry, thats what i meant [02:23] ThatGuyOverThere: I use wi-fi just fine with the ethernet ports active [02:23] Well, mine doesn't work. [02:23] :( [02:23] I did "sudo apt-get usb-creator" [02:23] ThatGuyOverThere: just do sudo ifdown eth0 then, you can also remove the ethernet settings in /etc/network if you want to [02:23] I've tried everything and so this is what I'm gonna try next. [02:23] guest17747, do a sudo apt-get install usb-creator [02:23] laclasse: more errors. http://pastebin.com/d345a4467 [02:23] ThatGuyOverThere: scratch Syldra's command...It is ifconfig eth0 down [02:23] oh man... duh! shoot, thanks [02:23] Anybody have any experience with DNSMasq? [02:24] ThatGuyOverThere: I've heard weirder things. You want something like 'sudo ifconfig eth0 down' from a terminal. You might be able to do it from network manager instead... [02:24] d0wn, now do: sudo dpkg --configure -a [02:24] np [02:24] what is the name of the Flash Player plugin? [02:24] i just downloaded a gnome theme how do i install it [02:24] package? [02:24] Alright. [02:24] DeathFox, drag and drop in the apparance window [02:24] ok so i booted the live cd image on the computer. now if i install ubuntu will it automattically install the 64bit version instead of the 32 bit version? [02:24] neverind! i fixed it. thanks laclasse [02:24] d0wn, ;-) [02:24] Deathfox, drag and drop the theme onto the the theme changer window (appearances > theme tab) [02:24] n8bounds: I get the same error message [02:24] It also says "device not managed" under wireless in the Network Manager. [02:24] What can I do about that? [02:24] huston Theres different disks [02:24] Couldn't find package usb-creator [02:24] laclasse: i just looked at which packages needed "configured", and apt-get install'd them [02:25] sudo apt-get install usb-creator [02:25] huston, you need to use the 64 bit install disk [02:25] guest17747, do this command: sudo aptitude update; sudo aptitude install usb-creator [02:25] d0wn, right, still ... issue the dpkg --configure -a, it will set all packages needing to be configures [02:25] configured* [02:25] where is the flash plugin on synaptic package manager? [02:25] ThatGuyOverThere: I don't need to bring my eth0 ports offline when I use the wifi...As long as I only have one port in use at any time, there aren't any problems [02:25] what is the name [02:25] laclasse: okay :] thanks [02:25] d0wn, np [02:26] I did some searching around and found "sudo iwconfig wlan0 mode managed". Will that do it? [02:26] BumpTop: It should say "Adobe Flash Plugin Installer" in the description [02:26] Seems to have worked [02:26] bumptop, the easiest thing to do is install the package "ubuntu-restricted-extras" [02:26] n8bounds: thanks! [02:26] good, np === john is now known as Guest640 [02:26] Whats the difference between apt-get and aptitude? [02:26] hey guys how can i look through the contents of two directories that contain similarly-named files and determine based on file size which ones are not duplicates? [02:27] guest17747, its very little, aptitude is just newer and a bit better about cleaning up after itself [02:27] getting flash player on ubuntu seems like an impossible mission. [02:27] guest17747: slight differences in functionality. Use whichever you prefer. You can switch between them until you decide... [02:27] hmm... ok, thanks guys... still a noob. Obviously [02:27] <{Onyx}> I didn't have much trouble getting flash on ubuntu. [02:27] sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer [02:28] that's what it was [02:28] i did [02:28] what do i do with it? [02:28] Anybody...? [02:28] * Keiya sighs [02:28] <{Onyx}> Just a problem with the start of a video or flash ad makes a really annoying sound for a second. [02:28] guest17747: this is a good place for noobs... [02:28] !who | BumpTop [02:28] BumpTop: 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 :) [02:28] I'm having problems with sound. I just installed Jaunty on my desktop and until today, sound worked fine. But yesterday I unplugged my speakers to plug into a laptop, and now today my desktop has no sound. The sound guide on the forums seems to only have information for people who haven't gotten sound to work at all. [02:28] I EFFFINNNGG LOVE UBUNTUUUUUUU! [02:28] Looks like I still have to boot to Windows to use Outlook. [02:28] BumpTop, just use the Add/Remove program, install reboot, go to youtube [02:28] my system monitor hits 100% CPU usage most of the time..an i frying the CPU? [02:28] <{Onyx}> Keiya, have you tried evolution? [02:28] * seidos is an expert n00b [02:28] Now that I have usb-creator installed, I can't find it in the menus. Is it only accessible via terminal? [02:29] BumpTop, if this does not work, file a bug [02:29] BumpTop, btw, it does work ;-) [02:29] !tab [02:29] You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [02:29] {Onyx}: Yes. The OWA connector doesn't work with Exchange 2007, and the MAPI connector just crashes it. [02:29] ok. one last question. if i install juanty will i have any issues updating through the update manager to the 9.10 release at the end of the month? i've had issues with it in the past when i tried to use it to upgrade to juanty, it broke my installation. [02:29] [02:29] <{Onyx}> How about thunderbird? [02:29] By the way, if I go ifconfig eth0 down... eth0 will come back up when I restart, won't it? [02:29] guest17747, its called usb somethin somethin in the system gnome menu [02:29] [02:29] Doesn't have Exchange support. [02:29] Or calendar, for that matter... [02:30] If I just wanted mail, I'd just use imap :P [02:30] ! [02:30] Sorry, I don't know anything about huston> [02:30] huston, no, all upgrades are supported, from LTS to LTS and from one version to the next. The updater will see 9.10 avalaible and will offer to upgrade. Prop drivers could be an issue but generally it is smooth [02:30] oh [02:30] <{Onyx}> imap doesn't work very well with evo [02:30] hey dude with the usb issue PM i just just just did it [02:30] ThatGuyOverThere: yes, the effects of typing ifconfig on a terminal will not last past a reboot... [02:30] test [02:30] n8bounds: I checked the System > Pref and System > Admin; but I can't find the app [02:30] Is there anything I can do about that? [02:30] usb-creator [02:30] ...that isn't complicated? [02:30] {Onyx}: Right, but I want the calendar features anyway, which aren't available over imap, so it's not relevent [02:30] aaaaa [02:31] ok. thanks guys. [02:31] BumpTop: what on earth are you doing [02:31] huston: note that 9.04 isn't especially stable, and 9.10 will probably be less so... [02:31] system monitor hitting 100% CPU usage almost constantly...am i frying my CPU? [02:31] i am trying to do this: huston: oh [02:31] <{Onyx}> I haven't had any problems with 9.04 beyond a few minor things [02:31] ! [02:31] Sorry, I don't know anything about tab> [02:31] Balsaq, well, what is causing it to spike? [02:32] for me, its in system > administration > USB Startup Disk Creator [02:32] BumpTop: no <> [02:32] !guest17747 still got issues? [02:32] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [02:32] who lnow just looked and that sumanugun rides ride up there all the time...whew [02:32] {Onyx}: stick around: sound, flash, other stuff... [02:32] dethaddr: yes, can't find the usb-creator app [02:32] Flash isn't Ubuntu's fault [02:32] still looking [02:32] ! aaa [02:32] Sorry, I don't know anything about losher [02:32] It'd be a lot more stable if Adobe'd give us the source [02:32] !usb-creator [02:32] Sorry, I don't know anything about usb-creator [02:32] i cant do it [02:33] Balsaq: do you use Gnome do? sometime do sits there and eats all my CPU for whatever reason and I have to kil it [02:33] \ [02:33] system/admin [02:33] <{Onyx}> Only sound issue I had was that my onboard sound chip went legacy in 9.04 so I had to edit /etc/modules to load it [02:33] {Onyx}: I had a problem with sound and video, but they weren't serious. Intrepid was another story. hosed my heron install [02:33] Nobody answered me about the wireless device... [02:33] ...in Network Manager it says "device not managed." [02:33] !< [02:33] What can I do about that? [02:33] <{Onyx}> I did a brief search and it seems your wireless device sucks for linux support. [02:33] Mine? [02:33] Danbo19: dunno have ubunto 904 newbie here [02:33] is there a package for a jdbc driver for SQLite? [02:33] {Onyx}: oh yeah, and wireless, switched from ndiswrapper to ath5k. it really depends on your hardware. [02:34] Never mind. [02:34] So...? [02:34] if iride at 100 percent does it cook the CPU [02:34] <{Onyx}> Yeah dude, yours [02:34] ok guys: new problem. atheros wifi on ubuntu intrepid. goes "silent" and refuses to "wake up" after maybe 5-10 seconds. have to restart wireless to get it to work again. if i tell a shell to ping it will keep the connection alive. suggestions? [02:34] Oh. Well, yeah, I already know that. [02:34] Gnome do is just a nifty little program launcher, you have to install it yourself though so you'd know [02:34] But yeah. [02:35] Evolution doesn't work and OWA is just /painful/ [02:35] to any ubuntu devs that may be on: thanks for the great OS. [02:35] :)\ [02:35] (It's designed to only work on IE. Of course.) [02:35] Danbo19: dont recall installing anything buy 9.04, the updates and flash [02:35] three cheers for Ubuntu [02:35] But just pretending it doesn't... Is there anyway to get the "device not managed" problem resolved? [02:35] :-) [02:35] <{Onyx}> I can't wait to get my new system up and running so I can see just how pretty I can make gnome. [02:35] boooo to OWA [02:35] seidos: Well, it's OWA or boot to windows. :P [02:35] <{Onyx}> My current rig isn't good enough for anything beyond gtk themes [02:36] Danbo19: unless it came in with ubuntu 9.04... [02:36] Keiya: virtual box? :/ [02:36] ANonnyMoose === john is now known as Guest91334 [02:36] hey guys whats the command to connect to wireless via the terminal?

[02:38] accol: man iwconfig [02:39] BumpTop: start typing the first couple of letters of the nick, then press the tab key. It will autocomplete the nick. [02:39] it's the one with the arrows on it, above caps lock. [02:40] Danbo19: just looked at system, have 6 gnome process; running but the appear to be sleeping? [02:40] can anybody tell me how to install minefield? [02:40] is there a package for a jdbc driver for SQLite? [02:40] from a tar.bz2 [02:40] hey guys, whats the best/easiest way to get flash working correctly on the Chromium Browser? im on Ubuntu 9.04 using version 4.0.219 [02:40] !shiretoko | kam00zy [02:40] kam00zy: FF3.5 is referred to as Shiretoko on your UI, see http://is.gd/1reB3 for an explanation [02:40] its 3.7 musikgoat [02:40] ahh [02:41] still trying to find usb-creator after install... any suggestions?

[02:43] Balsaq: Only if you don't have enough cooling. :P [02:43] Balsaq: it shouldn't cook your cpu, you can use "top" in terminal to see what process is using up your cpu [02:44] seidos: lots of process but allare sleeping except firefox [02:44] time to kill firefox, then. [02:45] Balsaq: you can stop firefox if you're not using it: pkill -stop firefox in terminal [02:45] Balsaq: you can also find out what is taking up so much cpu. usually flash [02:45] Balsaq: at this point i dont even have flash installed for it, i would like to at least install it and go from there [02:45] seidos: POP and IMAP don't let me access the calendar stuff, which is heavily used here... [02:45] siedos: as i learn more i can prolly cut out some stuff...on ff now...maybe i can dump flash plays utube real slow anyhow [02:46] seidos: do i even need flash-took it cause utube said i need it [02:46] Ubuntu[Tradition] [02:46] Balsaq: if you want to watch videos on youtube.com, yes [02:47] seidos: but they play too slow too enjoy anyway [02:47] hello, has there been any updates on the Quicktime stream bug? [02:47] seidos: so if flash is using all my power i dont need utube that bad [02:47] what version number is jaunty? [02:47] 9.09? [02:48] 04 [02:48] Balsaq: close the tab that has youtube open, see what happens. [02:48] seidos: didnt know flash was a power sucker even when just using chat [02:48] seidos: i am only in here right now [02:48] Balsaq: coooool. how are you? [02:48] :) [02:48] Do I need to upgrade to Intrepid to use usb-creator? I'm on 8.04 currently. [02:48] seidos: great havin a ball with this new ubuntu stuff on my 11 year old dell [02:49] 8.04 should be able to work considering it's a long term release [02:49] Balsaq: firefox uses between 16 to 28% cpu on my system right now. [02:49] Thats kinda what I figured too [02:49] you don't gotta upgrade it for three years [02:49] <{Onyx}> Balsaq: I'm in the same boat. Running an old Compaq with a p3 katami 450mhz proc :) [02:49] does it work? [02:49] seidos: what are your specs [02:50] Balsaq: got an old dell with ubuntu on it. not sure how old. what are your specs? my dell is a 1gz with 128mb ram, matrox video. it has ubuntu server on it [02:50] onyx: ill figure it out i know this beast can do it casue it played utube with w98 [02:50] Someone helped me use aptitude to install usb-creator a minute ago but I can't seem to find it in the OS menus [02:50] run the command [02:50] Balsaq: laptop is 2gb ram, intel video, 1.47 duo core [02:50] seidos: i got 400mgz pII mmx 512cache 768sdram 8mb ati [02:50] I tried "sudo aptitude install usb-creator" [02:51] Couldn't find any package whose name or description matched "usb-creator" [02:51] did it not install? [02:51] umm idk try from source [02:51] shoot, I'm not that advanced quite yet [02:51] is compiling from source a simple process?

I really need a script that replace all my PHP variables "$this->abc" with $this->viewParams['abc'] in many files [02:52] is there a command for downloading the usb-creator source? [02:52] Balsaq: not sure if it's a driver issue...could be a software issue. [02:53] nope [02:53] seidos: looked inside my software..says "no proprietary drivers" [02:53] stevetran: look at sed.. thats a 1 liner.. [02:53] use firefox or whatever browser you use [02:53] or learn vim and emacs [02:53] ok [02:53] will do [02:53] seidos: otherwise she is humminalong better than when it was new in 1998?

[02:54] seidos: still take 3 mnutes to go from off to online but that has always been that way but online moves around better than w98 when it was new [02:54] "We logged in! Let's segfault!" [02:54] Balsaq: there are some great programs that would work on that system. [02:54] I hate Evolution right now. [02:54] And Microsoft. [02:55] any Audacious users over here?? [02:55] And, um, sleep.

[02:58] ahh.. ok === mike is now known as Guest65651 [02:58] when it's done downloading just click on the deb file and it'll run the deb package manager [02:58] that takes care of everything [02:58] Can someone give me a quick help? [02:58] when will ubuntu 9.10 get a final release? [02:58] seidos: i dont know jack flippin sh*t bout puters [02:58] ok, i'm there [02:58] its says that usb-creator requires two other packages [02:58] It's relating to writing to drives [02:58] Pretty basic [02:58] baldurpet, i wish i can [02:59] mtools; syslinux [02:59] I just formatted a 1 TG HDD [02:59] baldurpet, go ahead i might help by any means [02:59] Enigma: sure [02:59] anyone familiar with java and sqlite? [02:59] what? [02:59] is it best to set your xorg dpi to the dpi of your monitor and set your computer to use smaller fonts OR just set your xorg dpi to something lower? [02:59] how large usb stick do I need to create a usb live key? [02:59] using gparted [02:59] Balsaq: you're talking to me on internet relay chat. [02:59] and I mounted it using the command line [02:59] yup i know that seidos [03:00] but I can't copy things to it without using the command line [03:00] cool [03:00] I think those two packages are included in the usb-creator package [03:00] i'm learning [03:00] seidos: is that what those programs are for? [03:00] (using on the command line) [03:00] Hello. [03:00] baldurpet, weird ..wat format did u use? [03:00] you'll never stop that believe me i'm still learning and i've been on it for a year [03:00] EXT4 [03:00] Can anyone suggest a program to play real media files for ubu? [03:00] but this isn't the first time this has happened to me [03:00] idk what exactly it installs but it's a pretty neat thing [03:00] haha... i can imagine [03:00] just run it from the command line [03:00] Balsaq: programs are for setting up a webserver. If you want video to be faster, you can try using totem. Flash is slow in ubuntu. It's free. To make it faster would have to learn how to improve the code [03:01] baldurpet, so wat did u do when i happened before ? [03:01] I can see it installed into the System menu, I can see the icon [03:01] another HD I have is also mounted like this [03:01] how do i run via terminal? [03:01] anyone? [03:01] echosystm: what? [03:01] nothing, I just move files between them as root [03:01] maybe I can answer [03:01] echosystm: is it best to set your xorg dpi to the dpi of your monitor and set your computer to use smaller fonts OR just set your xorg dpi to something lower? [03:01] just type in usb-creator [03:01] baldurpet, well..as a basic try; have u tried to reformat? [03:01] I just reformatted? [03:01] cool, it opens the gui of usb-creator [03:01] don't know. [03:01] But argh\ [03:01] yeah [03:01] This is a blocking issue [03:01] t [03:01] anyone know about playing real media fils on linux? [03:02] get used to doing a lot of command line stuff [03:02] it's important [03:02] I installed Ubuntu 9.04 [03:02] The mail is easy, but nothing supports the god damn Exchange calendar! [03:02] i used to know all the commands but now i forgot them since i haven't really done anything special in awhile [03:02] seidos: ok so i should try totem...still not sure what all those other things were...apache and all, were they also ideas for making utube faster or just good things for ubuntu [03:02] sweet, thanks for the help man. [03:02] but when I used cat /etc/debian_version [03:02] your welcome [03:02] ya, I [03:02] baldurpet, system restart ? [03:02] I saw its lenny/sid [03:02] I dunno [03:02] I'm trying to learn terminal commands one at a time [03:02] Is this correct? [03:02] you think? [03:02] yeah they aren't that hard they make sense [03:03] why would that affect my HDD? [03:03] baldurpet, i know those kind of things might seem primitive but really can ruin many bigger stuff [03:03] seidos: guess ill google em all and read bout em later [03:03] if not just alias them [03:03] but i don't recommend doing that [03:03] alias? [03:03] because you lose a certain aspect of universalness [03:03] yeah alias [03:03] make one command into something else [03:03] And? [03:03] for example make rm into delete [03:03] seidos: gonna go read boout totem now since everything if fine here except utube [03:03] hm idunno [03:03] !bash [03:03] 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 [03:03] baldurpet, give it a shot and restart ur system with the HDD attached [03:03] ok sure... [03:03] or "ld" as "dir" [03:04] oh ok [03:04] yeah [03:04] like how macintoshes use "alias" instead of "shortcut" [03:04] idk how macintoshes work [03:04] never used them really [03:04] S4nD3r: that's fine. [03:04] all good, not important [03:04] macs suck lol [03:04] I see what you're saying though [03:04] well, macbooks [03:04] yeah [03:04] the desktops are pretty cool [03:05] But I thought my ubuntu was intrepid [03:05] thing is that when you're without a gui you can use the command line it's very powerful [03:05] Balsaq: check out transmission while you're at it [03:05] helps you fix a lot of things [03:05] i got stuck without a GUI and i used the command line and fixed it [03:05] its lenny [03:05] ? [03:05] S4nD3r: that's not even the ubuntu release. I don't know why debian_version is still there, but it's been there in every ubuntu release i've seen. [03:05] lenny is 8? [03:05] I'm just running ubuntu-server without any X now. :-) [03:05] and if you get on another person's computer you can do a lot of stuff too cuz the commands are universal [03:05] lol cool dude [03:06] yeah man, i see whatcha mean [03:06] well nice helping you dude [03:06] ya, thanks man! [03:06] np [03:06] what to do? [03:06] Its a problem? [03:06] S4nD3r: no, lenny is not ubuntu. it's the debian version. (ubuntu is based on debian). Don't worry about that file. [03:06] S4nD3r: no. [03:06] now can anyone tell me why in the name of God chromium browser has so many updates? [03:07] umm [03:07] S4nD3r: type: lsb_release -a to see your ubuntu version. [03:07] there is no fucus mode on aiming at open arena? - i dont understand how can i hit with such small dot [03:08] Distributor ID: Debian Description: Debian GNU/Linux testing/unstable Release: testing/unstable Codename: n/a [03:08] its not really ubuntu [03:08] I am having real webcam problems here. [03:08] mgv2: the "railgun" as a zoom in.. [03:08] deb http://br.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ intrepid universe [03:08] these is in my source.list [03:09] Logitech QuickCam Pro 9000. Appears to be functional. Cheese freezes, then outputs a blank file when I tell it to record. VLC does the same. Video outputs to /dev/video0, I don't know where sound goes. [03:09] anybody know if C&C will work on ubuntu 9.04 [03:09] Jagger: in wine yes [03:10] Biovore, hi - how do you use the zoom in? [03:10] Aarrgh, why does Gnome keep forcing this pannel to the top? [03:10] lkmk,m [03:10] I want it on the bottom, damnit! [03:10] well i downloaded the torrent and i cant figure out how to make it work [03:11] btw is a usb startup disk much faster than a live cd?' [03:11] no [03:11] Rubinioo: yes. [03:11] I find them much faster. [03:11] no === Commie_Cary is now known as Lenin_Cat [03:11] Dr_Willis: ok thx man [03:11] heya, how do I double check which version of linux I have? I think I have 64 bit but I dont rmember [03:11] Rubinioo: of course it pays to have a decent flash drive. :) I use them to install from all the time. [03:12] I am having a hard time installing my lexmark printer in 9.04. Lexmark install completes successfully but no device is shown in Administration > Printing. Tips? [03:13] its a ubuntu [03:13] right? [03:13] right, default gnome [03:15] how do i check if my install of linux is 64 bit or 32 bit? [03:15] uname -a [03:16] i386 i686 -> 32bit x86_64 [03:16] is 64bit [03:16] seidos: is trying to play utube videos the same as trying to play mp3...cause thats what totem seems to be about [03:16] anyone ever have a problem with gnome not giving focus to a newly open window? [03:16] Linux matrix 2.6.27-14-generic #1 SMP Mon Aug 31 13:01:41 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux [03:16] Its 32 bits?

[03:16] Well then. [03:16] yay [03:16] I guess you're not supposed to try to change the panels on gnome. >_< [03:16] i downloaded the right ati drivers then [03:17] Too bad it's now in a useless jumbled mess of a state [03:17] anyone know if theres an ATI version of CUDA? [03:17] !ati [03:17] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [03:17] keepassx is the best? [03:17] Hmm [03:17] Gonna rerun this in screen, just in case [03:18] How to discover if my processor is 64bits? [03:18] To add Windows shares to samba, do I just need to edit the smb.conf file? [03:19] foey: That is the way I do it. [03:20] Cyrano_away : Thanks, so something like [Share 1] path = /home/shared [03:20] where can I find 64 bit version of flash for ubuntu? [03:21] Raenir, adobe website [03:21] what they gave me didnt work [03:21] chuy_max, Raenir: no, in the ubuntu repos [03:21] !flash [03:21] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [03:21] !flash [03:21] foey: Yeah, Follow the section in the default file for the [Home] share. [03:22] Raenir: install flashplugin-nonfree, and you'll be good, even on 64-bit [03:22] what is that http://img38.imageshack.us/img38/5094/11612536.png? [03:22] mmmm, really, things have changed for ubuntu 64 bit ^^ [03:22] foey: I set some of my shares to browseable = yes, readonly = no [03:22] thanks [03:23] now i think theres stuff I need to do to be able to play MP3s? [03:23] Cyrano_away : Ok, next question would be I want everyone to be able to access the share without a username or password, guest accounts. I need read/write within the shared folder, is that a option? [03:23] foey: For my laptops and quick setups I use user based authentication [03:24] I guess you're not supposed to try to change the gnome panels... [03:24] Biovore: Can you please help me? Can't do it :( [03:24] CAn you even reorder thiings on them? [03:24] foey: You will need to make the share not read only, setup guest access (I have not used that feature) and then set the directory permissions correctly. [03:24] how can I install a modifiable ubuntu version on a usb drive (not a bootable iso). I tried unetbootin but that doesn't let you install packages permanently on the usb drive [03:24] stevetran: do what? [03:25] foey: I would suggest you still lock the directory for everyone and just set owner and group access. [03:25] Cyrano_away : Thanks, big help. [03:25] the sed thingie [03:25] stevetran: just a search and replace right? [03:25] yep [03:25] sed -s ///g [03:25] Strange 5 minutes ago i checked Update Manager and it said I had a brand new install [03:25] Keiya: I change my panels all the time. [03:26] and was up to date [03:26] but now it found 200 megs of updates [03:26] that it pulled from nowhere [03:26] but you may need to escape some stuff and you need to cat the file into it and output it to a temp file so you can look at the results. [03:26] Keiya: To reorder things you need to right click on them and unselect "locked to panel" Then you can select move to move them around. [03:27] stevetran: what's the sub string you want to replace and the source file? [03:27] HEY guys i need some help compiling a program [03:27] and the string to replace it with. [03:27] Keiya: To move the panel itself, chose properties of the panel set it to not expand to full width. Then you can drag the panel to another monitor or to the right or left of the screen. [03:27] Enigma885: what program? [03:28] hi, does anyone know if there is a way to get notepad++ working on ubuntu, without WINE ??? [03:28] Biovore $this->anything where anything = combination of characters, numers and _ with $this->viewParams['anything'] [03:28] i googled it ... seems like a NO bust just wanna double check [03:28] Cyrano_away: I unlocked everything :/ [03:28] Some things I still can't reorder. [03:28] Biovore, i got sed now, but my regular exprsesion is bad :( [03:28] Biovore, I'm compiling Audacious from source an need to enable some features [03:29] stevetran: yeah.. I am not quite that advanced with sed I can pull that out of the air.. Do-able.. I am not 100% sure what the perl regular expression is for that kind of operation. [03:29] prajjwal: why use notepad++? [03:29] cause i like it .... [03:29] geany > notepad++ [03:29] and its slim ... [03:30] gedit, kate, kwrite all do that same thing.. [03:30] and i like notepad++ [03:30] So speaking of gnome panels. At work I have dual screens and the bottom panel on my laptop screen below the external screen. When I come home with only the laptop I always have to manually putz with the Nvidia settings to get just the 1920x1200 laptop display. [03:30] and there slimmer.. [03:30] prajjwal: ask the authors to make it cross platform [03:30] Biovore: okay, thanks alot anyway [03:30] No matter what I set the display as the bottom panel never shows up. [03:30] Enigma885: you install all the development stuff? [03:30] Oh, right click move [03:30] Installed Size : 5820.00 K [03:30] that's my geany [03:30] Biovore, http://translate.google.co.uk/translate?hl=en&sl=zh-CN&u=http://forum.ubuntu.org.cn/viewtopic.php%3Ff%3D74%26t%3D94276&ei=5wjESoWxLZa8jAegut1A&sa=X&oi=translate&resnum=1&ct=result&ved=0CBMQ7gEwAA&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dhttp://forum.ubuntu.org.cn/viewtopic.php%253Ff%253D74%2526t%253D94276%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DG [03:31] Cyrano_away: I use the Restricted Drivers and don't have any issues [03:31] Do you recommend install 64bits kernel? [03:31] Biovore, all dev stuff are installed [03:31] though vim > geany [03:31] well ... but kate and kwrite i know is for Linux and i want somewhat of a consistent set of commands when i go to the Win2K at school ..... and thanks .... guess i'll just use Kate here then ..... thanks folks ... [03:31] Anybody have any experience setting up a USB mic under Ubuntu? [03:31] A: it blows that I have to manually tell the lame binary drivers that I now only have one display, use that please. and B: it sucks that gnome is too brain dead to know that, hey the screen bottom is 1200 lines up there, maybe I should scoot up some and say hi? [03:32] Checked the forums, but all I got is dead links [03:32] Biovore, i need to know where am i supposed to do "pkg-config - cflags - libs libglade-2.0` " [03:32] prajjwal: there is kde for windows I've heard [03:32] jebblue: I am using the restricted drivers as well. 9.04 64. [03:32] prajjwal: kde runs on windows so should kate, and geany has a windows port, as does vim [03:32] Enigma885: right on the command line.. or its a manual build.. [03:33] <_sEBAs_> Olá gente!, estou vendendo meu openMoko, deixo o link do mercadolivre http://produto.mercadolivre.com.br/MLB-109792666-openmoko-neo-freerunner-linux-sensor-touch-e-acelermetros-_JM [03:33] Biovore, i've already compiled it. But not with the need feature to accept the plugin. [03:33] Cyrano_away: you want it to be automatic? disconnect from two at work and 1 at home and it works? [03:33] thanks for that ...will look for a way to put it on my comp xD ... and yea .... not a big fan of the Vim for windows ..... === Cyrano_away is now known as Cyrano_De [03:34] !ati [03:34] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [03:34] Biovore, the author says：`pkg-config --cflags --libs libglade-2.0` Add end of the line: `pkg-config - cflags - libs libglade-2.0` [03:34] Enigma885: yeah.. the google translate messes up the download.. so I can't look at any source to give you clues.. [03:34] !br | _sEBAs_ [03:34] _sEBAs_: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Obrigado. [03:34] <_sEBAs_> robbmunson, sim percebi [03:34] <_sEBAs_> robbmunson, valeu! [03:34] Enigma885: pkg-config returns compiler flags and is sometimes used when doing manual compile jobs in line with the gcc command. [03:35] jebblue: Yes. I shut down at work, undoc the laptop. Boot up at home with just the laptop display set to the correct resolution. Shutdown, take the laptop to the office, doc it and turn it on. Now the external monitor is set and the resolution is adjusted once again. [03:35] Biovore, so am i supposed to use it with ./configure ? [03:35] Enigma885: is there a ./configure? [03:35] err configure [03:35] Biovore, yea for Audacious package [03:36] jebblue: Xinarama used to do that without any issues. Stupid lame binary, don't work with xinerama, dirvers suck that way. [03:36] Enigma885: get you get me a clean link for that tar ball so I can see whats in it? [03:36] Cyrano_De: try the open source ones? [03:36] Biovore, the whole thing is that this plugin need Audacious to b compiled using a specific feature [03:36] !wine [03:36] WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [03:37] Any must have server programs for ubuntu-server? [03:37] apache? [03:37] jebblue: I would love to but they don't support this chipset very well and have no 3D support. I wish Dell would have offered the ATI cards with this laptop. [03:37] Biovore, ok http://distfiles.atheme.org/audacious-2.1.tgz and http://distfiles.atheme.org/audacious-plugins-2.1.tgz for Audacious [03:37] Raenir : Got that, its currently a webserver and samba file server [03:38] Enigma885: does this include your plugin your tring to build? [03:38] foey, i would suggest LAMP for starters.... [03:38] foey: for a server the fewer packages the better. [03:38] !lamp | foey [03:38] foey: 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+) [03:38] just as a bare minimum...i dont think you would need anything else if you managed to grab those :) [03:38] foey: The less attack vectors the safer it is. That and updates are less disruptive. [03:39] !samba [03:39] Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments.

[03:39] aha [03:39] Thanks, can anyone suggest a decent backup program? [03:40] Biovore, http://forum.ubuntu.org.cn/viewtopic.php?f=74&t=94276 and download ShowLyric32.tar.gz [03:40] !backup | foey (hate to keep throwing ubottu factoids) [03:40] foey (hate to keep throwing ubottu factoids): There are many ways to back your system up.

I got it.. [03:40] theres a bunch of them foey, you just have to pick the one that fits you the best, look around a bit :) [03:40] robbmunson : hehe, no problems. Thanks. [03:41] Biovore, thanks =) [03:41] can any one help me configure wine? [03:41] foey: I use rsync and this script http://pastebin.com/m5dde28fc [03:41] Enigma885: so this plugin looks like it comes in 2 poarts [03:41] dethaddr, if you tell us what you want to configure in wine we probably could :) [03:41] silly question, but how do I quit from irssi? [03:42] [ / quit ] [03:42] Biovore, nope it's just ShowLyric32.tar.gz [03:42] Biovore, or u meant the Audacious Plugins package ? [03:42] hi, how can I connect a yamaha keyboard to my ubuntu distribution... using ubuntu-studio [03:42] hi, how can I connect a yamaha keyboard to my ubuntu distribution... using ubuntu-studio [03:42] nice [03:42] Enigma885: the lyris stuff.. [03:43] Balsaq: totem plays video too, but not flash videos [03:43] have a guitarist, a pianist and my laptop with the necesary cables [03:43] jack specialist? [03:43] Biovore, the lyrics stuff, as i have just said, is ShowLyric32.tar.gz only [03:43] well i just installed ubuntu on a buddies computer. and im trying to set up diablo 2 === jerald is now known as prappl93 [03:43] seidos: well is utube flash videos or does that mean try totem and dump flash [03:43] Biovore, those other packages for 64 machines [03:44] wouldnt that be in gaming? [03:44] dabernal, have you tried asking in #ubuntustudio ? [03:44] Enigma885: its just a plugin.. don't need to rebuild audacity.. [03:44] diablo2? [03:44] hi: i used ubuntu in the past, but my wireless cards never quite worked; with the new version of ubuntu, do the wireless cards work out of the box, such as with sony vaio intel laptops? [03:44] Enigma885: infact.. I don't think you need to build squat.. [03:44] Evolution won't gather images from my e-mails, and I have it set to load HTML, how do I fix this? [03:45] as I install compiz on a Dell XPS M1330 laptop [03:45] hey cumshot, haha, yes. mine works fine. in fact it does and the onboard ethernet does not [03:45] Biovore, Audacious cannot recognize the plugin ..and the author wrote about that under "Known issues: " [03:45] cool [03:45] seidos: i am not sure if you are saying i should ude totem to play youtube...and if so...does flash mess with the totem if i get totem [03:45] working with ardour [03:45] yes diablo 2 [03:46] bonsoir à tous [03:46] prappl93: you can hit Ctrl + I to get images to load or put the user's address in your address book [03:46] i have it installed at my house. but i cant install it here [03:46] Biovore, saying "Recompile the main program audacious. Add end of the line: `pkg-config - cflags - libs libglade-2.0` " [03:46] !fr |feadurn [03:46] feadurn: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr [03:46] Enigma885: the compiling part is just cd to a directory with a makefile file in it and type make [03:46] On linux command line, what is the best way to convert a hex encoded file to binary? (i.e. file contains "4142" should become "AB") [03:46] I have ubuntu 9.04 64bit, an ati card and the latest driver from ati. When I boot up, Ubuntu complains that it can't find nvidia. How do I stop it wanting nvidia? [03:46] oups sorry I didn't notice that is the english channel [03:47] Balsaq: no, I am saying totem and flash are separate. can't help you with your flash problem, wish I could [03:47] one more question: im planning on using ubuntu just for regular web surfing and email/chatting, should i go with ubuntu or xubuntu or kubuntu [03:47] seidos: oh i realize that, is totem a possible fix for utube problems [03:47] Cumshot, that my friend is up to you....they all do it ;) [03:47] Cumshot: That depends on your personal preferences and the speed of your machine. [03:47] Enigma885: the pkg-config stuff is handled by "configure" command when you build audatious.. to add the pkg-config would mean hacking up something.. Dosn't sound right to me.. [03:48] Biovore, yea but how to write `pkg-config - cflags - libs libglade-2.0` [03:48] im using ubuntu for games and surfing and media [03:48] seidos: i just read the entire report on the ATI video card driver issues and ot doesn't look good [03:48] Cumshot: I've taken a liking to xubuntu and xfce these days. Even on my new dual and quad core boxen. [03:48] fina [03:48] xfce is gnome with more bugs [03:48] Biovore, it's a simple plugin. I'm not paranoid about that indeed [03:48] Can Ubuntu run properly with Fluxbox installed? [03:48] DigitalKiwi: And some configuration options. [03:48] they seem to have ways to mess with the radeon cards but i have the older xpert card and they dont mention that ne so i gues youtube can KMA [03:49] Balsaq: might be a work around. I think there's software that lets you download youtube videos, perhaps even to convert them. haven't tried [03:49] how are you [03:49] prappl93: Fluxbox runs just fine with ubuntu. [03:49] Enigma885: not sure. Would be a hack job at best. That pkg-config gets run by ./configure when you build audacity. [03:49] so what are the must get items for a brand new install? [03:49] maaks [03:50] Biovore, so it will look like ./configure `pkg-config - cflags - libs libglade-2.0`? [03:50] what your name [03:50] I just installed Fluxbox, how do I get it to run? [03:50] Enigma885: I think you need to edit the configure file. [03:50] Enigma885: --, not - [03:50] seidos: ahhh convert them...another subject very interesting...oh well the music comes thru beautiful on my altec lansing s just not the vids but ya know what...f*ck it! sometimes ya just gotta figure yur on free software and thats what ya git [03:50] dethaddr: For games, install the games you like. For web browsing install the restricted-extras. Install mplayer and or vlc.

[03:52] Enigma885: pkg-config - cflags - libs libglade-2.0 on the command line should print some text. [03:52] Cyrano_De: isnt there a sudo code that does em all?

[03:54] seidos: no clue, found it when i was clicking on system or something and it always shows a lot of errors, it is in ubuntu 810 and 904 [03:54] dethaddr: For diablo 2 you need wine.

[03:58] Balsaq: i have two errors in my error console [03:59] dethaddr: Once you have that just type wine setup.exe (or whatever your game installer is called) and it will start the installer. [03:59] seidos: i hate those lil b*sturds cause i dont know what they are i just keep wipin em out? had about 25 of em once [03:59] long as they dont slow me down [03:59] Cyrano_De: in a terminal do i just rund sudo winecfg?

[04:00] seidos: wish i could read the book...but there aint no n=book huh [04:00] Biovore, Audacious cannot "see" the .so plugin unless it's compiled with that certain feature needed [04:00] heh. i did and i told me .wine is not owned by me [04:00] Biovore, it gives "Failed to load plugin (/usr/lib/audacious/General/ShowLyric.so): /usr/lib/audacious/General/ShowLyric.so: undefined symbol: glade_xml_new stenh.cpp: init()" [04:01] Is there a Python programming channel somewhere? [04:01] I just had audio suddenly quit working with anything that used PulseAudio. After a reboot, all I get from anything using PulseAudio is a crackle. === Xoop is now known as Guest11576 [04:01] Try /join #python [04:01] >_> [04:01] ALSA output works flawlessly. [04:01] dethaddr: ls -la <---who owns .wine [04:02] dethaddr: That may be the case if you ran winecfg with sudo. [04:02] hey [04:02] Enigma885: well you can try to build a newer version of audaious. apt-get remove audacious first.. [04:02] dethaddr: try chown -R yourlogin:yourlogin ~/.wine [04:02] Enigma885: then to configure audacious do "configure --prefix=/usr" then a make and make install and then try to build and install the plugin. [04:03] where are you [04:03] Biovore, i tried already. but same result. I have noticed that the author of the plugin mentioned how to overcome this. [04:03] where you school [04:03] Biovore, by the pkg thing [04:04] like this chown -R dethaddr:DethMachine ~/.wine ?

[04:06] Enigma885: these instructions are vuage.. this could be in any file. maybe one of the makefiles?

[04:16] xnok: This is the right place to toss that Nvidia mess in a lake. Or is that just me and my frustrations with them these days. [04:17] Is anyone here using console version of BitTorrent? btncurses keeps reporting "network is unreachable" on torrents from isohunt, while gnome's "transmission" works fine... [04:17] hey jjrev [04:17] Not me ekontsevoy [04:18] You're not alone. It used to work fine with Jaunty but the nvidia driver no longer works with karmic. [04:18] vikk: i'm looking for the packages [04:18] xnok That's because Karmic is still in Beta ;) [04:18] how ok [04:18] thanks [04:18] ekontsevoy: I use rtorrent when I need a good clean cli BT client [04:19] Yup, but that is part of the testing... par for the course ... and all that, but I am trying to get that working as well :) [04:19] transmission? ' [04:19] Cyrano_De: checking it out... [04:20] vikk: you need to install 'xserver-xorg-video-intel' [04:20] mysteriousdaren: yeah, when you click on a .torrent file in firefox in gnome, "Transmission" is a GTK-based torrent client that starts up and starts downloading. [04:20] ok [04:20] ekontsevoy: rtorrent with screen is a very handy setup. [04:20] where did i get it [04:20] where do i get it? [04:20] does anyone want to hear some thing extremely messed up? [04:20] vikk: #> sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-intel [04:21] Cyrano_De: yeah, I've been using the "official" python-based torrent but lately it just doesn't work... wtf happened?

[04:21] i finnaly get the diablo 2 installer to pop up. and the user agrement pops up and tells me to scroll down and read the agreement ant agree button will light up [04:22] ekontsevoy: I've been using rtorrent for years now.

[04:24] prappl93: Yes. That will create a "Live" usb key if you point it at a desktop iso/CD [04:25] I just did rtorrent http://url-to-torrent.torrent - am I missing something? [04:25] Alright, thank you. Thats what I thought it did, but wasn't entirely sure. [04:25] for example i open extreme counter strike 1.6 final release 2 and it open but then blocks and cant do anything so i have to restart [04:25] ekontsevoy: You need to add torrents to it. Press "o" to add a torrent. [04:25] ekontsevoy: You can configure it to watch a directory and start downloading any torrents you save there. [04:26] vikk: hold on [04:26] ok [04:26] Cyrano_De: how do I exit? Ctrl+Z and then kill?

To close rtorrent it is CTRL-q. Are you sure your screen setup is not using CTRL-q for the meta key? [04:34] Keiya_: architecture, probably. do you have 64 bit ubuntu?

It likely won't have an effect, but it's worth a shot [04:37] ckw: well you might have to uninstall the old drivers and install the new ones [04:38] that's not the issue. he needs to install support for 32 bit binaries [04:38] jjrev: I installed nvidia-glx-180 and all relaged nvidia common drivers/180 drivers [04:38] no effect [04:38] (over ssh) [04:38] ckw: did you uninstall the radeon drivers?

[04:53] Voss: Is there a place to ask the karmic alpha related questions, if it is not this channel or +1? [04:53] xnok, probably +1 just at some other time [04:53] is there a way to run diablo 2 through something other than wine? [04:53] it's not true that zero people are there. [04:53] I'm installing 9.04 and I'm confused about the bootloader. [04:54] ok, thx. [04:54] dethaddr: try looking up a loki installer [04:54] The MBR is on sdb [04:54] xnok: you can ask here, but you may not get help, fire away [04:54] But it says it's installing to (hd0) [04:54] no, don't. [04:55] In the advanced options dialog anyway [04:55] What does it mean by hd0? [04:55] eastcoast0: you'll have to change that [04:55] !grub [04:55] 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 [04:55] So I'm having a sound problem in Jaunty, it was working until today, when I unplugged my speakers to plug into my laptop. Now I'm getting absolutely no sound, even with all volumes in Alsamixer all the way up. Can anyone help? [04:55] gnome system nonitor is maxing out my CPU all the time? if i "uncheck it" in my add/remove..will i lose it forever? [04:55] is there a programme where I can right click with the keyboard? im using a one-button mouse. [04:56] danbo, you've been asking the same question for hours now...It is clear nobody can help you [04:56] Where are programs like firefox installed to on Ubuntu? [04:56] Balsaq: it will delete it from your panel, but you can always add it later [04:56] !filesystem | Raenir [04:56] Raenir: An explanation of how files and directories are organized on Ubuntu, and how they can be manipulated, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview [04:56] I'll try -- the nvidia driver (version 185) is no longer working on karmic. used to work fine in jaunty on the same laptop. Odd keyboard behavior. i wanted the desktop effects and the 3d acceleration you get with the nvidia driver instead of the xorg nv driver. [04:56] jjrev: So where should I install it? I have a partition on the drive I'm installing ubuntu to for /boot (sdc2 I think), and the MBR is on sdb [04:56] Danbo19: is there a headphone switch somewhere in your sound mixer? [04:56] Mnaines: I thought I'd wait for an hour and try again, but I guess I'll just try the forums [04:56] shane2peru: bummer, don't want to lose it just disable it until i want to look at it [04:57] lstarnes: maybe, let me check [04:57] eastcoast0: what does your drive structure look like? [04:57] Balsaq: are you running hardy? [04:57] ubuntu904 [04:57] newbie [04:57] jjrev: partitioner won't open up... what was that command for terminal again? [04:57] really frakin new [04:57] eastcoast0: #> fdisk -l [04:57] how do i upgrade my firefox in jaunty [04:57] jjrev: thanks [04:57] Balsaq: are you sure it is the sys monitor that is running up the cpu? [04:57] shane2peru:jaunty [04:58] !ff35 [04:58] Firefox 3.5 Final is available for Jaunty by installing the package firefox-3.5 and firefox-3.5-gnome-support | FF3.5 is referred to as Shiretoko in your UI, see http://is.gd/1reB3 for an explanation | Hardy & Intrepid: http://is.gd/1jkNY [04:58] lstarnes: wow, now I'm embarrassed, I thought I tried that, but I think the speakers were in the wrong port when I did. Sound works now, thanks a lot. [04:58] jjrev: http://pastebin.com/d6f2fced5 [04:59] shane2peru:well i looked at it when alli was running was firefox and gnome sys mon, then got off of FF and looked agoin...gnome sys mon is taking about 37-50 percent all alnoe and that with FF maxing me out [04:59] pradeep: look for ubuntuzilla on the forums, they have an install script, I can get you the link [04:59] jjrev: ignore the thing about sdd [04:59] shane2peru: yeah sure [04:59] what isa good free linux program that will do invoicing and Account receivables? [04:59] shane2peru: ff takes about half, system monitor about half [04:59] Balsaq hmm, that doesn't sound right, but I don't think it is your sys monitor, unless there is a bug [04:59] kinda pitiful . . . even winblows has a decent mousekeys utility, but i cant find any good one for Ubuntu [04:59] Balsaq: sounds like something else [05:00] shane2peru:uh oh [05:00] This is cute [05:00] there is only one that i have heard of so far and i cant figure out how to click correctly [05:00] shane2peru: im too new to this to have a bug... [05:00] anyone here good at OOo Impress? [05:00] Balsaq: what kind of computer are you running on? [05:00] hanasaki: I just saw on the forums that jgnash was a decent replacement for quicken. I have not tried it so far. [05:00] I'm curled up on my throne and there's a kitten asleep in my lap [05:00] jjrev: Actually to be honest, I'm just wondering what it's asking [05:00] eastcoast0: so you want to use sdb1 for ubuntu's / [05:01] jjrev: sdc [05:01] mnaines: :3 [05:01] shane2peru: 1998 del dimension xps r400 4oomgz mmx p2 512cache 768sdram 8mb ati [05:01] xnok: thanks [05:01] jjrev: I'm wondering by when it says "install boot loader" it's saying install information to MBR or install the GRUB files? [05:01] Balsaq: nice name :D [05:01] by GRUB files, I mean files GRUB needs to work [05:01] hey RPG [05:01] the q is silent [05:01] shane2peru: found it thanks for the info [05:01] Balsaq: hmm, I hate to say it, but ati probably is your prob [05:02] Oh :O [05:02] sorry [05:02] shane2peru: why do you say that [05:02] pradeep: sorry, got distracted: http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=251 [05:02] no pron RPG [05:02] eastcoast0: grub requires a /boot folder [05:02] Balsaq: open up a terminal, Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal [05:02] almost looks like my friggen name is ball sack huh RPG! [05:03] Balsaq: ATi has all sorts of problems [05:03] jjrev: the partition plan I made in the ubuntu installer isn't showing up in that terminal output [05:03] shane2peru: oh no not that [05:03] jjrev: But I have sdc2 which will be mounted as /boot [05:03] eastcoast0: because you haven't committed it [05:03] Balsaq: it is good for you. :) [05:03] jjrev: indeed [05:03] Balsaq: is that your real name? [05:03] Balsaq: paste this in: fglrxinfo | grep render [05:03] shane2peru: ok but i am a flippin computer idiot [05:03] Balsaq: can you cut and paste? [05:03] jjrev: I'm just wondering if I should set the device for bootloader installation as sdb, sdb1, or sdc2 [05:04] cew_imuet [05:04] xnok: any idea of jgnash vs moneydance? [05:04] shane2peru: maybe [05:04] Balsaq: If you plan on using linux for any period of time, you must learn to embrace the command line :D [05:04] how did you do the vertical line [05:04] is there a way to disable stack smashing protection temporarily in ubuntu 9.04? [05:04] Balsaq: just cut and paste. :) === jon is now known as Guest77361 [05:04] eastcoast0: i'm not sure. your BIOS will chose which device it tries to boot first [05:04] hanasaki: sorry, no. i have not used either. i use quickbooks on an xp for accounting purpose. [05:04] fuque me [05:04] hang on [05:04] jjrev: No no, that's not what I mean [05:05] shane2peru: um...That's easier said than done for people who don't know anything about computers [05:05] Balsaq: it is beside the backspace key, you have to hit shift [05:05] xnok: the 199$ biz one? ... hmm just don't wanna buy windows for just that [05:05] jjrev: sdc2 will be /boot. sdb is the drive with the MBR on it. [05:05] eastcoast0: well you want to make your SDC drive bootable, and install GRUB to SDC [05:05] shane2peru: With those kind of people, you have to literally give them directions step by step [05:05] is there a way to disable stack smashing protection temporarily in ubuntu 9.04, for educational purposes (an assignment)? [05:05] jjrev: Ok, so it's asking me where to install GRUB, NOT where the MBR is? [05:05] shane2peru: but i read that article on here word for word and i dont have that radeon card mine is the old xpert card frm ati [05:05] eastcoast0: you can always modify GRUB to boot windows from another drive [05:06] mnaines: you mean cut and paste is difficult? wow, I must be an expert then. lol :) [05:06] eastcoast0: its going to install an MBR to SDC [05:06] eastcoast0: this makes it bootable [05:06] jjrev: Oh... but the MBR is on sdb [05:06] shae2peru: so iam gonna find a nvidia card that works for my puter and works for ubuntu [05:06] Balsaq: what was the output for that [05:06] hanasaki: quickbooks is available from amazon.com in usa for $99. i did not have to buy any computers, my wife's still runs XP -- i just borrow it. :) [05:06] shane2peru: Work a few weeks at a help desk...You will see that even seemingly no-brainer tasks require step-by-step directions [05:06] not there yet [05:06] Balsaq: yes, that would be recommended. [05:06] eastcoast0: SDB has it's own MBR because its a bootable partition [05:06] hang on lost [05:06] jjrev: And currently the MBR is set up to boot a now non-existent GRUB. [05:07] jjrev: So I need to reinstall GRUB or else my system is unbootable [05:07] mnaines: I don't think I could take it [05:07] shane2peru: ok can we do that then instead of that terminal shshshsht [05:07] heeh xnok ... know where I can get a legal cheap copy of windows 7? [05:07] eastcoast0: do you have grub already on another drive? [05:07] mnaines: I can handle linux newbies, but computer noobs, too much [05:07] jjrev: I used to have an old opensuse install. I've since removed it. [05:07] shane2peru: Its a tough job for anyone...Especially when you have to walk people through everything step by step..."Ok...Now left-click and hold, drag the cursor over the text..." [05:07] shane2peru: ubuntu and ati are no good together unless you are a pro hacker [05:07] jjrev: however, the MBR on sdb still points to GRUB [05:07] eastcoast0: so what is SDB [05:08] jjrev: so if I try to boot now, I'd probably get an error 22 [05:08] eastcoast0: probably [05:08] hanasaki: no, i am not even looking. if you are a student with a .edu account, i believe you can get a nice discount. checkout downloadsquad.com for the details. [05:08] thanks [05:08] Balsaq: well, just depends on the card, my wife's computer has ati and never had a problem, didn't even know that ati didn't like Linux [05:08] anyone know how to disable stack smashing protection for educational purposes? [05:08] eastcoast0: you need to make sure that the drive you are installing ubuntu on is the drive you install GRUB [05:08] Balsaq: on the other hand my laptop's ati is the pits! [05:08] jjrev: so ubuntu will automatically add the needed information to the mbr on sdb? [05:08] eastcoast0: then you will edit that GRUB to boot whatever other OS is available in the system [05:09] Guest77361: google knows... [05:09] shane2pro : well iread that link on here about ati what a mess\ [05:09] eastcoast0: no [05:09] mnaines: yep, I'm not cut out for that! [05:09] i followed the methods, but none worked [05:09] eastcoast0: you want to have MBR installed on SDC [05:09] eastcoast0: then make SDC the boot drive in the BIOS [05:09] shane2peru: unfortunately the dont mention my card all they talkabout is the radeon ones [05:09] jjrev: but then I won't be able to boot into either windows install [05:09] shane2peru: Yeah...That's the Windows world for you, though [05:09] not xpert [05:09] Balsaq: however I'm not sure that is your prob, but I have a hunch it probably is. [05:09] i tried the -fno-stack-protector in gcc, but it still seg faults [05:10] mnaines: perhaps that is why I dumped windows. :) [05:10] ok igotta find th termonal then looking [05:10] jjrev: No no. Previously I had sdb the first drive in the BIOS. And grub worked fine, because the MBR pointed to GRUB on sdc, where the previous suse install was [05:10] eastcoast0: not immediately, but after you edit the menu.lst file you can access those windows installs [05:10] i also found that ubuntu has some extra protection, but cannot find how to temporarily disable it [05:10] shane2peru: I'm still a Linux newbie, but I like Linux better than Windows [05:10] this is my first time being on ubuntu [05:10] its kinda slow =/ [05:10] shane2peru: so you think my 11 year old ati xeprt is sucking all the juice? [05:10] Guest77361: dunno what to tell you. People on this thread say it works: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=418234 [05:10] Balsaq: perhaps you need to have a friend take a look at it for you. [05:11] Balsaq: really hard to tell, without 'hacking' [05:11] Balsaq: troubleshooting [05:11] ill do it i am looking for that GD terminal [05:11] that is the thread i used [05:11] mnaines: I have learned to love the power of the terminal and scripts [05:11] eastcoast0: it doesn't really matter how many MBR enabled drives are in your system, or how many GRUBs are installed on the drives.. the BIOS is going to boot the one its told. and that drive's GRUB or whatever other boot loader will have to be set up to boot the other os's [05:11] if i use the option in the second to last post, can i enable it again and how? [05:11] shane2peru: I still need the GUI because of all the time I was a Windows sheep [05:11] haha, one free internet for you guys: http://lolwat.net/?w=9e1e91a0e1819d6716ec4095191eec27 [05:12] Balsaq: in the menu is Applications, then click on Accessories, then Terminal [05:12] Think I can I get a second opinion? Anyone?

[05:13] oops, wrong thread, nevermind, i tried this one also [05:13] Balsaq: copy and paste this after the colon: fglrxinfo | grep render [05:13] mnaines: kernel scripting? What is that? [05:13] there was a debian thread somewhere that said how to permanently disable the debian version of the protection [05:13] how to create tar.gz with password? [05:13] shane2peru: so 1st i do fglrxinfo....then i dogeprender just like that [05:13] mnaines: I don't mess with kernels much, mostly scripting out other work [05:13] jdu: I have sda, sdb, and sdc. sdb is the first drive in the BIOS. sdb has the MBR on it. I want it set up so that the MBR on sdb points to sdc2, which is the /boot partition [05:13] losher, omg...Please tell me you are smarter than that... [05:14] they said to use gcc 3.3 or earlier, but gcc-3.3 is not in synaptic [05:14] Guest77361: what about using an older compiler if the -f trick doesn't work? [05:14] how can i make ubuntu find my sound card? it built into the MB [05:14] mnaines: just answer the question... [05:14] Balsaq: copy and paste this: fglrxinfo | grep render [05:14] Balsaq: all together at one time [05:14] losher, fine...By kernel scripting I meant learning to write code for the kernel to fix bugs and stuff [05:14] Balsaq: fglrxinfo | grep render [05:14] also, i am not sure how to install it manually without messing up the new gcc and how to remove it when i am done [05:15] man, i keep clicking on lolwat.net images [05:15] shane2peru: when i copy it to paste the flippin terminal goes awat [05:15] away [05:15] Guest77361: you might have to find the source code, download & compile it. A lot of work... [05:15] eastcoast0: I don't want to give advice that is wrong, since I have not attempted to seperate the 1st and second stages of grub across two disks [05:15] sometimes I see RMS, then computer, then computer, then some adult content [05:15] strange [05:15] jdu: I guess I'll ask on the forums... anyone else can help me?

[05:15] sorry MenZa, thought this was a general chat channel, will take the lols somewhere else [05:15] mnaines: how odd. I've never heard the term. Scripting usually refers to a higher level language e.g. bash, perl, python. Not much of that in the kernel... [05:16] eastcoast0: my suggestion would be to install grub over the mbr on the disk where /boot is, and tell the bios to boot off of it. [05:16] jdu: ugh... I Was hoping to avoid that [05:16] shane2peru can you enter the room known as Balsaq? [05:16] eastcoast0: but, again, i'm no expert [05:16] losher, ugh...Please tell me I don't need to clarify everything I say just so you'd understand [05:16] eastcoast0: yes, you want to install GRUB on the drive you are installing Ubuntu on.. [05:16] my screen is going so gd fast icant worjk well [05:17] Balsaq: sorry, if your terminal disappears, you are going to need someone to look at your computer for you [05:17] mnaines: no, I think we're done talking...

[05:25] DeathFox: ohh, that is screensaver [05:25] how do i disable that [05:25] i found it [05:25] thanks [05:25] shane2peru; should i install it even though it appears it is for ati radeon stuff and iam atixpert? [05:25] Balsaq: no, better not, I may have gotten the command wrong, one second [05:26] i think not cause iread the article on here about the fglrx thing...shae2peru [05:26] DeathFox: sounds like either screensaver or power management. Both are configurable for gnome, but don't ask me how...

[05:29] shane2peru not installed again same message [05:30] Balsaq: I'm not sure then what your card is using, I'm not that great at legacy ati stuff [05:30] so the computer knew i mistyped it [05:30] Balsaq: no, doesn't sound like you are using fglrx [05:31] just no drivers for it in 904 i guess [05:31] Balsaq: which I thought all ati used fglrx, but the olders ones may not, I'm not really sure [05:31] Balsaq: what vid card is this? [05:31] shane2peru: began thinking i should go in backwards, find out what ubuntu likes and has drivers for and go get it [05:31] Balsaq: but it isn't your sys monitor that is causing the problems [05:31] How do I get my event sounds to work? [05:32] frewsxcv: there is a flac package which will decode flac to various formats. I've never heard of alac though... [05:32] Login sound etc. [05:32] Balsaq: that would probably be what I would recommend [05:32] frewsxcv, see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=310647&page=2 someones got something working under wine [05:32] losher, Apple Lossless [05:32] jjrev: he is a complete computer noob [05:32] shane2peru; dunno just asked why my cpu is at 50 percent just for the gnome syst monitor [05:32] seems like a lot of power for gnome sys monitor [05:32] shane2peru: what is his issue? [05:33] Balsaq: right, I don't think it is that though, not sure [05:33] jjrev: a lot of cpu usage [05:33] notiproblem..noticed system monitor and FF combine to use 100 percent of my cpu! [05:33] jjrev: could be sys monitor bug, but I doubt it, I always use sys monitor, and never have a prob [05:33] shane2peru: hm, has he tried 'top' ?? [05:33] decided maybe i dont need gnome system monitor [05:33] hi [05:34] frewsxcv: great. Another propietary format. Looks like you may have to decode to wav using flac and then encode using dbpoweramp under wine. Quite a mess... [05:34] 안녕하세요 [05:34] hello [05:34] hello [05:34] jjrev: he had a hard time finding the terminal, and couldn't copy and paste commands [05:34] asked the question on here shane2peru mentioned it may be my ati [05:34] ok [05:34] looks korean but not sure...

[05:34] Hi. apt-get fails to resolv hostnames, but ping does resolv them. How can I fix this? thanks [05:34] so realy i just want to disable gnome system monitoThanks shane2peru! [05:35] shane2peru: i almost hate to say try another distro, but Mint is top notch for beginners [05:35] jjrev: I think it is something else eating cpu, but we didn't get far [05:35] Is it safe to remove packages like nvidia-180-modaliases and fglrx-modaliases and nvidia-common if I don't have an ATI or nViia card? [05:35] jjrev: gotta run, catch you all later [05:35] Balsaq, did you check the processes to see whats using soo much cpu? [05:35] 1. gnome system monitor take 37-50% of my little CPU-is it prudent and wise to disable it? [05:35] Bluey: It's korean. The circles are the givaway. [05:35] jjrev: he has an older ati card, my hunch is ati probs [05:36] Balsaq: have you run the 'top' program? [05:36] YES IT IS ff ABD SYST MON [05:36] oops sorry [05:36] shane2peru: thanks, i'll have a go at it [05:36] hit caps mistake [05:36] thanks shane [05:36] Balsaq: jjrev can help you get it fixed [05:36] Keiya -- wasn't sure - I prolly haven't seen any korean writing in several decades [05:36] let me go slow and spell itout..for those trying [05:36] When I run sudo chmod 777 will it apply to all users? I don't see any change in permissions at the user level... [05:37] may not be broke may be old cpu with lil power i dunno...here goes [05:37] Of course, with han unification... :/ [05:37] Hi all. Anyone able to assist me in understanding how the file arrangement in Ubuntu works? It's like the one thing I haven't been able to get used to. [05:37] anyone know how to fix the broken packages error message in apt [05:37] Tht gets in the way of language identification, doesn't it? :P [05:37] corigo3 -- if your intent is to allow all users to do anything they wish yes, but it only applies to the files you are changing [05:37] i need help with an upgrade [05:37] !filesystem | AkeJay02 [05:37] AkeJay02: An explanation of how files and directories are organized on Ubuntu, and how they can be manipulated, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview [05:38] AkeJay02, "most" of the filesystem layout is based on Unix conventions /bin /etc /var etc... Do you have a specific question? [05:38] noticed cpu is at 100%load with only FF and system monitor running, turned of FF and only had systen monitor runnung and it uses 37-50percent of my freeakin CPU can i disable it without getting rid of it? [05:38] i remotely upgraded a computer from 8.04 to 9.04 and now X won't start [05:38] Balsaq: can you open a terminal? [05:38] from the logs, X appears to not be detecting the USB keyboard and mouse [05:38] ok....... [05:39] the user cannot open a terminal [05:39] but i can ssh in [05:39] what do i type in jjrev [05:39] Bluey: after I run the sudo chmod all the permissions are updated, but from Krusader when I check the file permissions the change only happened for "owner" which is root.... so I still have no access at the user level [05:39] there is no input at all [05:39] Balsaq: 'top' [05:39] its the dadgum syst monitor [05:39] uses a ton of my lil CPU [05:39] can iturn it off without losing it? [05:40] corigo3 privite message ok? [05:40] looks like i can uncheck it but will it go away forever if ido that [05:40] ok [05:40] Balsaq: no [05:40] Balsaq, gkrellm is a "lightweight" system monitor or conky seems quite popular [05:40] does anybody know what might be causing X to suddenly be unable to detect the mouse and keyboard? [05:40] Balsaq: open a terminal and type 'top' and see who is using so much CPU [05:41] Balsaq: what cpu are you running? [05:41] the computer in question does not even have PS/2 plugs, by the way [05:41] jjrev: so...i will uncheck it/disable it, but it will still be there if ilook for it and re-check it for later use? [05:41] it is my GD sys mon [05:41] jjrev, top is a good suggestion [05:41] Balsaq: i don't understand what you're asking [05:41] and my tiny 400mgz [05:41] Balsaq: lol [05:42] * thiebaude no wonder [05:42] Balsaq: my phone is faster than that thing ;) [05:42] that lil bugger ucks some juice huh [05:42] Balsaq: it's eye candy. You don't need it. Just stop running it... [05:42] ok guys [05:42] Balsaq: it will not go away if you uncheck it... [05:42] jjrev: but i dont want to lose it? [05:42] sheesh [05:42] wheh thank you elvtars! [05:43] Balsaq: you might try a lighter weight distribution [05:43] hallo [05:43] i not only want it to stay...i want to see it in ther FOREVER i the add remove panel with the box ready to be checked...ok? [05:43] hi, can anyone tell me where to find my icons in hardy? [05:44] someone said " i can alway reinstall it later...dont want that [05:44] donnybrasco: anything in /usr/share/icons ? [05:44] donnybrasco, /usr/share/pixmaps ??? [05:44] Why does OOo make svg graphics look like butt? [05:44] Balsaq: with a 400MHz CPU you will be struggling to do a lot of things.. [05:44] yup but she does it [05:44] Balsaq: you can turn it off and turn it back on later [05:45] Balsaq: I agree with jjrev. Consider a distro designed for old, slow, tiny boxes... [05:45] hardware drivers enabling nvidia hangs [05:45] even spoke to dell online while on here at once [05:45] Balsaq: that machine is suited for a very light weight distribution, perhaps DSL or something along those lines [05:45] i know but at this point i am too flippin dumb and new at open source to do iti did order puppy and xubu [05:45] losher: thanks :) [05:46] donnybrasco: first thank you of the evening, you're very welcome! [05:46] Balsaq: look into linux mint fluxbox edition [05:46] i think if i uncheck the thren monitor i will have 50 percent more juice [05:46] hi [05:46] Balsaq: puppylinux is a easy, works if you have 128 MB of ram [05:46] Thanks for the link about the filetree with Ubuntu. It makes a bit more sense now, but it is definitely one thing I don't like as much as Windoze. Is there a reason for it's complexity? [05:46] tried to boot it wont do it iam am too new yet [05:47] AkeJay02: no reason really, its how linux has evolved [05:47] to setup default kde fonts do i need to install kdebase-workspace-bin ? [05:47] AkeJay02: whoever wrote all the software decided that was the best way to organize things [05:47] i have another puter coming in to experiment on...dell business computer will wipe it clean and put in puppy or linux mint or xubuntu [05:47] AkeJay02: I'm not sure it's any more complex than windows. Just different... [05:47] (eg: when i run k3b, the fonts on the menu look different than my gnome apps-- i'm using the gnome desktop) [05:47] .. [05:47] ? [05:47] Balsaq: i recommend Mint highly [05:48] Balsaq: great for beginners [05:48] i heard mnt is set up with lots of stuff to play online vids which iwant [05:48] ? [05:48] I guess it only makes sense that the file layout would be different as well. But whenever I've needed to do something in the Windoze system, it was no complex task. But I find myself searching for help online to make small changes in Ubuntu. [05:48] Balsaq, ? [05:48] jbk_: I would expect that. It's a kde app. It'll run fine, it just won't look the same... [05:48] Balsaq: yes, its the most feature complete distribution 'out of the box' [05:48] hi jbk [05:48] losher, well u can set the fonts with kcontrol.. [05:48] jjrev: who knew? [05:49] anyone know what kernel line to use in grub for usb installer? [05:49] losher, kdebase-workspace-bin should hold kcontrol as its replacement pacakge.. [05:49] losher, its juts 300+ meg to inst for kcontrol [05:49] * jbk_ goes ahead with apt-get [05:49] but i do have puppy here now on a disc and xubuntu on a disc bougfht them [05:49] jbk_: thanks, but I don't run gnome or kde. And I'm not even sure I'd notice the fonts... [05:49] Balsaq: and it's based on ubuntu so a lot of ubuntu help topics will carry over [05:49] losher, well then.. u dont know then.. [05:49] Is ubuntu keyserver down? [05:49] so how can allthat be lighter than ubuntu [05:50] jbk: then q in balsaq is silent....like (balsa) [05:50] AkeJay02: its only complex because you're unfamiliar with it. the more you use linux, the easier it gets [05:51] jjrev: how can i system like that be lighter on the cpu than the ubuntu? [05:51] Balsaq, it doesn't use alot of processes [05:51] NOw I need help. Ican't GPG from keyserver.ubuntu.com nor subkeys.pgp.net [05:51] oh hi thiebaude [05:51] Balsaq, hi [05:51] Lartza_, No or now ? [05:51] i know have 3 bubtu discs! [05:52] Balsaq: because some systems are expressly designed to be lightweight. Ubuntu isn't... [05:52] Balsaq: try "SLAX", its very lightweight but not as feature complete as Ubuntu [05:52] guess ill get that one too [05:52] Lartza_, you can try pool.sks-keyservers.net -- serveral people have been have keyserver problem and this was recommended to them by someone [05:52] Now [05:52] Balsaq, yah dont really need that many discs [05:52] but i need plug and play like ubuntu [05:52] Balsaq, or try fluxbuntu, openbox, etc [05:52] no fiddledikin round here [05:52] ZykoticK9: Does using another keyserver have any effects? [05:52] OMG! ARRRGHH [05:52] Balsaq: fluxbuntu would probably work better [05:52] Lartza_, no idea man! [05:52] now that i got d2 installed and running. i cant figure out how to make it go full screen [05:53] i dont have a burner and i buy em for 3 dollars [05:53] jjrev, i agree [05:53] i hate wine [05:53] NOw ubuntu keyserver started to work, for now [05:53] Lartza_: it shouldn't.... [05:53] Balsaq: gnome is probably a little too much for your very old cpu [05:53] i blame windows [05:53] dethaddr -- it works (sometimes) [05:53] why so many flliipn bubtus ? [05:53] gosh [05:53] u guys help nobody [05:53] helpless [05:53] people [05:53] dethaddr, what's "d2"? [05:53] jbk_, go away [05:54] whoah he;s psssd [05:54] ZykoticK9: diablo 2 lord of destruction [05:54] dethaddr, ahhh sorry I'm no help (was wondering if it meant Doom2) [05:54] heck ive been tryin for 5 days to get my utube vids to play faster and i aint bichen [05:55] Balsaq: ubuntu will behave better when you get a better computer [05:55] Got every key except still one [05:55] yup cant wait got a 1gig cpu coming [05:55] with ddr instead of sdram [05:55] Balsaq: that's not really that powerful either [05:55] xine-plugin mplayer-plugin vlc-plugin [05:55] well if ican do it with 400mgz [05:55] Balsaq: wow dude, ancient technology ;) [05:56] Now got all. THe keyservers worked, stopped wotrking and worked again :S [05:56] According to vrms, the non-free packages installed now are: linux-generic, linux-restricted-modules-common, linux-restricted-modules-generic, tangerine-icon-theme [05:56] Two of those are metapackages, and not for the other two [05:56] ... Weird. [05:56] well they give them too me free...getting several this time and some are prolly gonna be int 1.2-2.0 range [05:56] business puters [05:56] (And tangerine is a quirk of the DFSG) [05:56] the yrun xp pro fast === bullgard is now known as bullgard4 [05:57] when will apt-get timeout on update? [05:57] Balsaq: so run xp pro. It's not a crime... [05:57] hi folks, has anyone here managed to get compiz running on an intel 82845g/gl adapter? i've tried just about everything now and only get a frozen desktop upon running compiz --replace and/or changing the desktop effects setting; i've gone through every type (safe, optimal, bleeding edge) of the intel performance guide on the forums, but still no dice. am i just chasing something that simply won't work? [05:57] Nvm it got through to the server [05:57] Balsaq: you should build a cloud/cluster with all those bad boys then get a laptop to interface with it :D [05:58] well they wipe em clean befor ethay give them away [05:58] Why is linux-generic in restricted? [05:58] and i will learn this if itmkills me ithinks windows blows [05:58] Spoom: Can you pastebin your X log file?

[06:14] i don't usually type in here :) [06:14] Ximbinha: Go down where it says "Call Phones or SMS" on the main window of Skype...Right below that you will see a green circle with a plus and a person icon...That is the Add a Contact button [06:14] alazyworkaholic: move to 8.04... [06:14] losher, thanks "ps axf" didn't know that one -- VERY cool!!! [06:14] alazyworkaholic: #ubuntu+1 is currently designated as the channel for ubuntu 9.10 [06:14] alazyworkaholic: How are you shutting down the machine? [06:14] mnaines, this works for adding but you wouldn't see anyone online. [06:14] ARE YOU LISTENING TO ME?

[06:15] Ximbinha: Because its just like adding a person in instant messenger...They also have to add you to their list before you can see them online...When you add someone that way, it sends them a message asking if they want to accept the add invite...They have to accept it before you can see them online [06:15] also another question: I plugged in my wacom into my Jaunty machine, and it Just Works, but I can't find a control panel for configuring it [06:15] mnaines, I know [06:15] Twelve: This is a channel for ubuntu, not any other distro of linux [06:16] And this doesn't works [06:16] sudo ping -f 201.47.12.56 [06:16] Twelve: try #puppylinux [06:16] haha [06:16] ximbinhu: i know how you fell, i once felt the same way, relax, drink some warm milk, take a god dumper, and wipe windows right off yur hard drive forever...if it don't run in buntu you don't need it!!! [06:16] thanks elvtars [06:16] Ximbinha: Probably because they haven't accepted your add invite perhaps? [06:16] losher: I'd love to, but it was crippled even under 8.10. [06:16] mnaines, no! [06:16] does ubuntu install a .bashrc that would take precedent over the one in ~ ? the aliases i'm adding to the one at ~/.bashrc don't seem to be active [06:16] ubottu: !wacom [06:16] Sorry, I don't know anything about wacom [06:16] alazyworkaholic: your nick seems to be contradictory [06:17] soreau: Either normally, of sometimes with sudo poweroff now. [06:17] okay time for some geekdom -- HAK5 -- ttyl [06:17] nostalgicBadger: check /etc/profile and /etc/bash.bashrc [06:17] alazyworkaholic: Try always using the 'normal' way [06:17] nostalgicBadger: ~/.bashrc usually takes precedence [06:17] nostalgicBadger: how are you logging in? [06:17] alazyworkaholic: ok, but 9.10 isn't even *claimed* to be stable. Ask on #ubuntu+1 [06:17] Ximbinha: I am going to say the same thing everyone else is saying...If it doesn't work, then don't use it...That should be a no-brainer [06:17] phantom878: thanks got video working [06:17] nostalgicBadger, did you restart bash after making the change (ie type "bash") [06:18] mnaines, DON'T LIE TO PEOPLE [06:18] alazyworkaholic: Also, it will check the file system automatically every ~30 or so times it's mounted, so if you reboot a lot it will check the fs more often [06:18] let me test again [06:18] Ximbinha: stop acting like a child [06:18] Ximbinha: What am I lying about? [06:18] about skype working in ubuntu [06:18] It doesn't and you know [06:18] Ximbinha: It is working fine for me... [06:18] Ximbinha: does skype's website have a form for filing a bug report? [06:18] Ximbinha: please, keep to the issue at hand, and relax on the caps. [06:18] if it don't run on buntu who needs it...release the poisen X....take a dump and then wipe windows right off yur dadgum HD [06:18] Ximbinha: I have not had any problems with using Skype in Ubuntu [06:18] Ximbinha: I use skype on ubuntu with no problem [06:18] Ximbinha: that's skype's fault, not ubuntu's [06:18] if you cant figure skype out let alone ubuntu u shouldnt be using linux period...go back to wintendo... [06:19] soreau: any reason to believe poweroff now turns off the computer before it's ready? [06:19] hi, all of a sudden vlc and totem wont open files correctly...i get errors saying that the format is not supported by vlc, even for mp3s which i have always been able to play and still can open in rhythmbox. i am confused. any suggestions? thanks [06:19] ximbinha: wanna webcam on skype? [06:19] Balsaq: enough with the dumping please [06:19] lstarnes telling that it doesn't works [06:19] i just made it to work :) [06:19] alazyworkaholic: If nothing else, use shutdown -h now [06:19] 10-4 boss [06:19] alazyworkaholic: I am not familiar with 'poweroff' [06:19] ximbinh: just use windows then [06:19] GSF1200S, windows is better [06:19] obviously [06:19] windows 7 is nice :) [06:20] Balsaq: I'm no boss [06:20] skype owkrs in windows [06:20] Ximbinha: that is largely subjective [06:20] Ximbinha: and in ubuntu also :P [06:20] (never saw i guy act like that here...i got tons of prob's here?) [06:20] huh. it's working now. thanks [06:20] skype works fuckin fine in ubuntu your just a FUCKIN TARD!! [06:20] ximbinha- if thats how you feel then why not use it? [06:20] can't get some fixed [06:20] HBX^: language please [06:20] ok, so it doesn't work [06:20] now what? [06:20] !language [06:20] Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [06:21] jussi01: Where were you, man? [06:21] skype has known sound issues in ubuntu [06:21] I haven't heard ximbinha ask a question in the last 5 minutes [06:21] * mnaines has never had audio or video problems with Skype in Ubuntu [06:21] cryptor3: he has been removed [06:21] Ximbinha is just a troll [06:21] o.m.g. [06:21] mnaines: Ive been watching. but we dont kick on first offence, its also your job to try to catalyse and calm. [06:21] hi.. how can i lgoin remotely to a new gnome session? i tried vnc4server with xinetd, and it tries to work, but vnc4server seems broken [06:21] ive been accused of being one [06:22] ah ok. I figured it was gonna happen right after whoever called in for backup [06:22] Lets move on shall we? [06:22] jussi01: My policy is respect has to be earned...I follow the golden rule - "Do unto others" [06:22] yes, to remote gnome login [06:22] mnaines, there is a bug where you can configure sound in skype, but it stops all other sound from working until you reset alsa [06:22] indeed, moveon [06:22] In my opinion, gay sex is a lot hotter than straight sex. You are now imagining yourself being fucked as a trap while sitting in someone's lap, facing them. You give out little moans and whimpers as you desperately force yourself to ride him, pulling yourself up and down his cock as fast as you can manage. Your feminine features are flushed red with embarrassment because your stiff, hefty prick is bouncing off his stomach with every thr [06:22] ust, but he is holding your hands back, preventing you from hiding it or jacking yourself off. Just as he begin to climax, you slam your hips down as deeply as you can, squeezing like a vice around him and moaning wildly. As he continues to fill you with his cum, you begin spraying his stomach and chest with your own virile but useless seed, your hips desperately bucking with every spurt. After his orgasms subside, he releases your arms [06:22] Out_Cold: odd...It hasn't given me that problem before [06:22] that's nice [06:22] and grab your hips, grinding his still-hard but sated dick deeply into you, and he tells you that he won't pull it out until you clean up the mess you made. You begin straining forward, using you tongue to lap up the warm cum you plastered across his stomach. By the time you are done, you are both already hard again. sorry if this is long, it took me a long time to write o.o i hope u enjoied reading it. [06:23] jussi01: realone : [06:23] hi guys i need some help with jaunty [06:23] must be a full moon tonight [06:23] ask away mrlexx [06:23] soreau: I'm looking up halt vs shutdown vs poweroff & read that "shutdown runs the shutdown scripts (in rc0) [whatever that means] to gracefully terminate all running processes (databases and other ncie things)" Do you understand shutdown scripts or rc0? [06:23] how do i tell firefox to save the downloads in a folder on the desktop instead of just on it [06:23] so any ideas on remote gnome logins? :( or how to make vnc4server not crash? [06:23] IdleOne: Nope...Scientists did a study and found the moon has nothing to do with people going crazy [06:23] dethaddr: in the firefox prefs [06:24] mnaines, i suppose it's mostly hardware and kernel related [06:24] mnaines: possible :) [06:24] i haven't used skype for about a year now though [06:24] problem could be fixed [06:24] Oh, does Ubuntu sleep-on-close? [06:24] alazyworkaholic: Somewhat, but not on ubuntu so much. With ubuntu, I always recommend doing things 'their way' [06:24] Out_Cold: If the newest Skype version has bugs, I haven't seen any [06:24] dethaddr, look in preferences [06:24] I had problems with vnc when I enabled certain graphics card drivers [06:24] i got it [06:24] I was trying to perform an update of the system and received this error" [06:24] jbutera: I thought gnome had a built-in vncserver? I forget it's name. Have you tried it? [06:24] Say, other than the installer, what's the difference between the alternate and desktop CD? Why couldn't they have been two options on the same CD's boot menu? [06:24] i should have known. [06:25] E: Syntax error /etc/apt/apt.conf:4: Extra junk at end of file [06:25] IdleOne: I honestly think the reason for people's craziness is just the change in the weather [06:25] teolicy, the alternate cd has a few more packages because it has the room for it [06:25] it also allows EVMs and LVMs [06:25] IdleOne, what am I to do to fix this E: Syntax error /etc/apt/apt.conf:4: Extra junk at end of file [06:25] losher: it just shares the current session though, rather than allow a seperate login [06:25] mrlexx: did you edit that file? [06:26] "desktop sharing" or whatever [06:26] no [06:26] Looks like not, blah [06:26] mrlexx: pastebin the contents and let's all have a look see [06:26] jussi01: Are there different ops on at different times of the day? [06:26] Out_Cold: Ah. But there should be no driver (say, ethernet driver) difference between them, right? [06:27] teolicy, there may be [06:27] (because I'm installing on a laptop where one seems to install nicely, and the other claims no ethernet drivers) [06:27] Does anyone know how I can enforce the larger DPI ( I set it to 120 instead of 96 ) on X apps I started over SSH X11 Forwarding ? The DPI set on my XDM works great, but those menus are just way to small on the apps I start via SSH ... [06:27] Well, I installed ubuntu but something went wrong. there's no GRUB menu, just the GRUB CLI [06:27] mnaines: ops are not "on" or "off". we are here when we can be. [06:27] IdleOne, pastebin? [06:27] !paste | mrlexx [06:27] mrlexx: 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! [06:27] How do I fix this? [06:27] teolicy, which is which? [06:27] jussi01: Who maintains the server for this room? [06:28] mnaines: freenode [06:28] jbutera: Because that's what most people want. So you want a separate vnc session? I use tightvncserver routinely, but I start it manually, not via xinetd... [06:28] Desktop works, alternate does not, laptop is an Asus EEE 1005HA, chipsets by Atheros and Attansic. [06:28] Wow this is even stranger [06:28] Out_Cold: ^^ (sorry) [06:28] menu.lst is fine [06:28] So why does it kick me to the command line interface? [06:28] IdleOne: Yeah...I'm wondering how the Linux community gets money for its maintenance and stuff...Surely people are paid to contribute [06:28] mnaines: if you wish to chat to the ops, feel free to join #ubuntu-ops and ask your question as to reduce non ubuntu support traffic. [06:29] !grub [06:29] 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 [06:29] teolicy, then i believe the drivers are in fact on the alt disk but you need to enable or install them through apt or synaptic [06:29] losher: yeah, like windows's terminal services [06:29] mnaines: very few are paid. compared to the amount of people who contribute to make linux what it is ( for free ) [06:29] IdleOne: So Linux is strictly a voluntary effort? [06:29] mnaines: mostly [06:30] mnaines: but not strictly [06:30] mnaines: #ubuntu-ops or #ubuntu-offtopic for this please :) [06:30] i am trying to use an install script that wants to use gcc 4.1.x and i have 4.3.x how do i revert back when invoking the script? [06:30] whew...this was quite na experience for day 5 on open source? [06:30] hi, is alpha3 the latest karmic release? [06:31] Could somebody point me to a channel for a newbie wanting to create a website, perhaps in flash? [06:31] mnaines: i'm sure jussi01 could point you to a few good sites explaining all this but a good start is the Ubuntu philosophy on ubuntu.com this is offtopic for this channel. [06:31] Balsaq, open source is a b**** ;) [06:31] IdleOne: Here's a question that's more on-topic...Is there any place a newbie could go to learn the inner-workings of Ubuntu? [06:31] sn00zer, try #flash [06:31] IdleOne, @ the present moment it seems I am unable to do so on this system [06:31] I HAVE WOBBLY WINDOWS! [06:32] tough lil neighborhood huh [06:32] Why does GRUB send me to a command line instead of the normal menu? [06:32] any suggests? [06:32] also, compiz works, and i thankye [06:32] Out_Cold: Thanks [06:32] I don't know what went wrong [06:32] Balsaq: please keep on topic, for general chatter join #ubuntu-offtopic [06:32] eastcoast0, is it asking you to log in? [06:32] Out_Cold: No [06:32] Out_Cold: I just get the 'grub>' command line [06:32] eastcoast0, what's the prompt look like? [06:33] oh lol [06:33] mnaines: this channel is a great place to learn. the ubuntu wiki and forums. there is also Launchpad. I mean this answer is not the best one but google is a great tool :-) [06:33] Out_Cold: So, where did I mess up? [06:33] your grub is probably installed wrong then [06:33] Out_Cold: Oh joy... [06:33] Out_Cold: Any idea as to what I can do? [06:33] IdleOne: I've been using Ubuntu full-time since June of 2009, but I do not feel like I am learning anything because I'm so dependent on the GUI. [06:34] do you know where i can get access to a public ssh server? [06:34] Out_Cold: Here's menu.lst: http://pastebin.org/31489 [06:34] rich_: sdf.lonestar.org [06:34] it seems that it is not on the system [06:35] eastcoast0, load the live cd and see if you can boot from the first disk.. [06:35] otherwise you'll need to learn how to adjust your grub, or re-install [06:35] Out_Cold: How could I adjust GRUB? [06:35] Also, I'm already in the liveCD just FYI [06:35] What programs are available to take make use of a linux compatible USB gps reciever? [06:36] hi is there a gay channel on freenode? [06:36] for anyone looking for how to get this working on an i845 in future (or coming across this in the logs): use "AccelMethod" "XAA" with "EXAOptimizeMigration" "true", "MigrationHeuristic" "greedy", and "XAANoOffscreenPixmaps" "true", make sure you're *not* using the new kernel from the intel performance guide (it may or may not work but i'm currently successfully using the latest from jaunty-proposed) and just run compiz --replace [06:36] :^) [06:36] Like a chat channel I am so bored. [06:37] IdleOne, http://paste.ubuntu.com/282733/ [06:37] !pb Spoom [06:37] Sorry, I don't know anything about pb Spoom [06:37] what is good for making avi mpeg etc to dvd movie [06:37] ? [06:37] elvtars, i have entered a username but nothing happens [06:37] eastcoast0, the commands are in the grub> shell but i am not too familiar with grub as i usually use lilo [06:37] what program [06:37] ubottu, http://paste.ubuntu.com/282733/ [06:37] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [06:37] callum_, not a pastebin type thing, this is just so people can see it later if they search the logs [06:37] Most bot's are intelligent and build cars and computers. === yoyo_ is now known as hayunda [06:37] mrlexx: sorry I am not sure what to do with that info [06:38] hbjhgjhgj [06:38] rich_: use "new" [06:38] DeathFox: many people use devede [06:38] IdleOne, that is the apt.conf file [06:38] does it got a gui [06:38] I believe it's "Does It Have a GUI Interface" [06:39] Not DOES IT GOT** [06:39] Out_Cold: I think I might know what went wrong... does grub 0.97 support ext4? [06:39] mrlexx: restate your issue and provide that link, hopefully someone else will know the answer [06:39] I'm e2fsck'ing my ssd. It found 000's of errors, but now it's been stuck on one inode for the last 10 minutes. I'm reluctant to ctrl-c & restart cuz that could screw sthg up. Is there any way I can check if it's actually doing something? a few other inodes took a minute or two to fix but this is ridiculous. [06:39] DeathFox: yes, it has a gui. It's fine if you don't need sophisticated menus. [06:39] More like Death@Spelling. [06:39] eastcoast0, i'm not sure if that has any influence [06:39] how to install emerald themes on my ubuntu machine [06:39] Out_Cold: :s [06:39] Lacks grammar and intellectual knowledge [06:40] callum_: take it to #ubuntu-offtopic please [06:40] k tks [06:40] Anyways - Losher how about suck a cock and die? [06:40] jussi01: callum_ [06:40] Sounds good to me :) [06:40] !ops please take care of callum_ [06:40] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [06:40] how can I repair the apt.conf file? [06:40] jussi01: earning your pay tonight :) [06:40] elvtars, once i am logged in with new, it asks me to choose a username, so i enter one and press 'enter', nothing happens. [06:41] IdleOne: this morning... :) [06:41] please tell me hoe to install emerald themes [06:42] jussi01: indeed [06:42] kiran_: are the themes in a standard emerald format, that is nameoftheme.emerald? [06:42] d9500 yes [06:42] !cli > mnaines [06:42] mnaines, please see my private message [06:43] rich_: I'm not sure how you should proceed, also not on topic for this channel... [06:44] kiran-: if you're using the standard GNOME desktop, then you should have three buttons at the top left corner of the screen..applications, places, and system. [06:44] I'm looking to improve the battery life of my Lenovo S10. I'm running 9.04. Does anyone know a good place to start with this? Any help would be appreciated. [06:44] I've already run powertop [06:44] click on the one that says "system" and then click on prerferences. see if one of the options in the menu that pops out to the side says emerald theme manager [06:45] Varth: Good place to start is with the hard drive... [06:45] how do I pastebin? [06:45] I'm having a tad bit of trouble configuring my internet with WPA. I tried to use the wpa_passphrase command in term, but it returned "bash: !: event not found (I'm assuming thats because the wpa key has (!) in it. When I use the default network manager, it just whirls the connecting thing until it promps me again, I've tried entering both the passphrase and the hex equiv of the passphrase there. [06:45] I need help. Apt is broken. I have no ideas [06:45] mnaines: That makes sense. More specifically, what can I do in relation to the hard drive? [06:45] Varth: The Seagate Momentus 7200.4 hard drive only requires 310mA...Much lower than the 450mA of other hard drives [06:46] alazyworkaholic: nothing to it. Go to paste.ubuntu.com, copy in stuff, hit return, and then tell us the url... [06:46] elvtars, can i connect to this shell externally? [06:46] alazyworkaholic paste.ubuntu.com [06:46] Varth: The Seagate Momentus 7200.4 is a family of hard drives, coming in 160GB, 250GB, 320GB, and 500GB sizes, but all of them only require 310mA of power during the read/write phases [06:46] rich_: Try the web site? [06:47] stargate: try the terminal command again, but enclose the password in single quotes [06:47] Varth, the second option is upgrading to a larger capacity battery [06:47] Alright, will try that, losher, thanks. Will post back with my result [06:48] emerald themes installation??? [06:48] foul_owl: can you pastebin the output from running apt? [06:48] mnaines: Yeah, I've been looking at one of the 6-cell batteries. Any idea for software fixes? [06:48] losher: sure thing, thanks for the help, one sec [06:48] Varth: With any of the hard drives in that family, you only need install the hard drive and you instantly get the power savings...Power fixes would be the CPU Frequency and Scaling Applet, set it for the lowest frequency possible every time you boot up the computer [06:49] Actually, just looked over my passphrase again losher, and it has single quotes within it, that'll cause problems, won't it? [06:49] kiran_: did you see the emerald theme manager option in system-->preferences? if so, let me know and i will walk you through the next step. if not, you may need to install some additional packages. [06:49] d9500 no [06:49] d9500: no [06:49] Varth, by far the biggest power savings would come from the hard drive, though [06:50] kiran-: do you know whether or not emerald is installed on your machine? [06:50] hi all. [06:50] mnaines: I see. Thanks for the help! [06:50] what's the easiest application to create a video DVD in ubuntu? [06:50] hola (: [06:50] i've already got the video file, i just want it playable in a DVD player. [06:50] no [06:50] http://pastebin.com/m25e7b0ee [06:50] Varth, you want a fast hard drive whenever possible. The faster a hard drive is, the more time it sits idle, which uses less power [06:50] stargate: yes it will, but you can use double quotes instead... [06:51] i've tried installing deps manually, but that doesn't work [06:51] kiran_:if you're not sure, try running the following, minus the quotes, in the terminal. "sudo apt-get install emerald libemeraldengine0" [06:51] if emerald is not installed, that should install it. [06:51] How do I upgrade GRUB from the livecd? [06:51] losher, with the double quotes, I still get the !: event not found [06:51] Please help me [06:52] eastcoast0: you mean update? [06:52] GSF12005: Well yeah, to 2 [06:52] like setup grub? [06:52] stargate: what command are you typing (don't show me the password though) [06:52] Varth: The Seagate Momentus 7200.4 family of drives speeds along at 80MB/sec, which is fast for a laptop drive [06:52] GSF12005: no, upgrade to GRUB 2 [06:52] Severely f'd up netbook.ok, someone please take a look at this & tell me if you think you know what type of problem it indicates.

[06:52] GSF12005: The version ubuntu installed is 0.97 [06:52] eastcoast0: dont know [06:53] losher: got it [06:53] alazyworkaholic: Without more information, we cannot accurately determine where the problem is [06:53] Can someone help me please? How do I update GRUB from 0.97 to 2 from a LiveCD? [06:53] * mnaines has never had good luck getting netbooks to work with Linux [06:53] stargate: so where is the "!" character. In the password? [06:53] d9500: ya iam just tried its installing thanks for your help [06:54] eastcoast0: what about `grub-install /dev/hda` [06:54] mnaines: sure, what do you need? Acer Aspire One netbook. 16 GB ssd version. 9.10 A6. [06:54] worked fine for a while... [06:54] losher: yeah, I generated the password on grc.com/password using the all viewable hex field :P tends to cause problems from time to time, as you can see :P [06:54] alazyworkaholic: All I am going to say is, stick with an ordinary laptop...Save yourself the hassle [06:54] losher all viewable ascii** [06:55] kiran_: no prob. once it installs, you should be able to see the emerald theme manager in system-->preferences. let me know if you need any additional assistance on installing a theme once you have the theme manager open. [06:55] hola [06:55] stargate: um, the double quotes should take care of the ! character. Not sure why you're seeing an error msg... [06:56] revenge uninstall it and use sudo apt-get from a comand line or install from synaptic [06:56] holaaaa [06:56] alazyworkaholic: I have not heard any good things about netbooks and Linux compatibility [06:56] I have an idea about diskless booting but before I get into it, Id like you to tell me if it is possible at all, I have drawn, what I want to do: http://img36.imageshack.us/img36/5978/ramdiskboot.png [06:56] foul_owl: so what does apt-cache search libtiff4-dev say? [06:56] hmmm, any alternative apps you might be able to suggest to manage my wifi to give it a try, losher? [06:56] kisuke: i did that too [06:57] stargate: try replacing the ! with \! [06:57] Netbooks are too proprietary and Linux netbook remixes are too buggy...That's why I do not recommend people use them [06:57] will try that, rww [06:57] kisuke: and what is the command to uninstall it in terminal? [06:57] mnaines: actually it worked nicely with 9.04. but to anyone thinking about it, the aao's ssd is pathetically slow. besides that I was happy. [06:57] hello [06:57] Help! I was transferring files to my external hard drive and it froze! Am I gonna corrupt everything on there if I pull it out? I can't unmount it or anything. [06:58] alazyworkaholic: SSDs are currently still not up to snuff to be useful [06:58] no luck rww, thanks for the advice though. [06:58] but in any case, I've already bought it & want to use it as intended - light web browsing. [06:58] iam not able to here sound on my laptop speakers how to repair [06:58] losher: i tried installing libtiff4-dev, then it said it depended on libtiff4. tried installing libtiff4, already installed.... [06:58] alazyworkaholic: Plus, what nobody tells you about SSDs is you have to "zero" them out on a regular basis to keep them functional [06:58] stargate: rww's advice should work too. There's something you're not telling us... [06:58] kisuke: i dont get why the gnash player works but not flash...gnash works but bad quality [06:59] wait wait wat mnaines, are you saying the latest technology may not be as stable as older technology initially? [06:59] foul_owl: what os version are you using? [06:59] losher, like i said, the password has all ascii chars in it :P including ()!/' etc etc [06:59] so can anyone help? I don't want to corrupt my external HDD [06:59] losher: ubuntu jaunty [07:00] mnaines: I know about that too... so, any idea what this http://paste.ubuntu.com/282741/ indicates, or is there any more information I might provide? [07:00] Wiseman: That's always the way it is...Newer technology is still buggy and less stable compared to older, proven technology...SSDs are still only about as fast as standard hard drives, they still use as much power as standard hard drives, and you have to zero them out periodically [07:00] foul_owl: nothing to lose, try reinstalling e,g, apt-get install --reinstall libtiff4 [07:00] ok, brace for impact, I'm pulling out my external HDD [07:01] losher: trying right now [07:01] can anyone else help me get my sound working again with flash? [07:02] alazyworkaholic: I don't know enough about Linux to help you. All I can say is that I have not had good luck with netbooks in both Ubuntu or Vista [07:02] stargate: dunno what else to suggest, unless you wanna go private and show me your actual password. Er, by double quote, I mean this character -> ", not two of these -> ' if that makes a difference [07:02] losher: Reinstallation of libtiff4 is not possible, it cannot be downloaded. [07:02] mnaines: my brand new asus eeepc 1005ha-p works perfect with UNR 9.10 daily [07:02] mnaines: which did you try out? [07:03] foul_owl: that's fishy. Is the server down? or something else. I guess I need to see the exact message... [07:03] GSF1200S: Yeah...I keep hearing a lot of issues about wireless cards being permanently disabled if you don't manually enable them in XP before installing Ubuntu and a bunch of other stuff [07:03] just normal apt stuff....building dependency tree, etc, then that message [07:03] Can anyone else tell me what http://paste.ubuntu.com/282741/ means? I'd love to at least find out whether it's software or hardware. [07:03] something is screwy....not sure what [07:03] hmm.. I dont know how that would happen [07:03] revenge sudo apt-get remove firefox-mozilla i think to remove and with flash i've never been able to get to run nice for the .dep what i do is get the .tar.gz version from abobes website and put libflashplayer.so in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins and works just fine [07:04] kisuke: under firefox plugins it says: Adobe Flash Player (Installer), Gnash flash player....but only gnash works with sound ...:\ [07:04] mnaines, you could always restore the disk with XP and then go back and install buntu [07:04] revenge try uninstalling gnash [07:04] GSF1200S: If its going to be that much of a hassle, I'll stick with my 15.4" Toshiba laptop [07:04] but yeah.. everything works well, and its a pretty new netbook.. the batt life is rediculous [07:05] foul_owl: I don't run jaunty myself so I can't check. Perhaps some other jaunty user can check? Meanwhile, what does apt-cache search libtiff4 say [07:05] kisnuke it doesnt recognize sudo apt-get remove firefox-mozilla [07:05] mnaines: it wasnt for me.. I installed a daily of 9.10.. done [07:05] GSF1200S: I get a good 4 to 5 hours of battery life on mine [07:05] losher: it just lists the package [07:05] revenge what distro are you using? [07:06] jaunty [07:06] losher: this has happened with other packages too, beside this one [07:06] GSF1200S: I used Ubuntu 9.04 Desktop Edition on both my laptop and desktop...Never had any problems [07:06] losher: can't remember which ones [07:06] mnaines, thats cool.. My netbook isnt as powerful, but I get like 9 hours which is cool [07:06] revenge which *buntu? i.e. ubuntu, xubuntu, ecubuntu? [07:06] GSF1200S: what netbook? [07:06] lol weird when i sudo apt-get remove mozilla-firefox it says not installed but i have it [07:07] mnaines: Ubuntu 6.10 didnt work on my laptop, but 7.04 did [07:07] kisuke ubuntu [07:07] foul_owl: well it's not normal. I've never seen that message. Can you pastebin it?

Please search for it as it may be registered with a different name." Searching for it tells me that there are too many results. So how is one supposed to do this?

I should have waited another couple months for system76's starling netbook to come out. It looks good. + it should work with no problems. [07:08] hj [07:08] mnaines, well my desktop is an i7 rig [07:08] mnaines, my lappie is a core2duo 2.16ghz [07:08] GSF1200S: Sadly, by the time I switched to Ubuntu, I had spent well over $3,000 on a quad-core gaming desktop when I was in Vista [07:08] I dont gave a windows install [07:08] kisuke: ok i uninstalled firefox from synaptic [07:09] mnaines: its fine to spend alot on a comp that will be used for linux [07:09] GSF1200S: Mine is a Kentsworth quad-core, Intel Core2 family...4GB of RAM and three hard drives [07:09] mnaines, thats cool.. I bet she flies [07:10] GSF1200S: Yeah...64-bit Ubuntu and she's smoking anything Windows has [07:10] stargate: thanks for mentioning, I hadn't noticed. ok, enclosing it in double quotes works ok in my shell, so something else is going on. What does it say when you type "which wpa_passphrase" [07:10] hi, i need to do a fresh install and i was wondering is the beta of karmic decently stable right now? thanks [07:10] emaines: arch linux on the i7 rig === christian is now known as Guest33413 [07:10] with XFCE [07:10] kisuke: how should i install it? [07:10] lorenzo: that would be a big NO...

[07:11] mnaines, indeed, as will mine [07:11] losher, output to which wpa_passphrase is /usr/bin/wpa_passphrase [07:11] mshooshtari: its coming :) [07:11] koolhead: yes? [07:11] lorenzo: even jaunty's a bit wobbly. Personally I use 8.04 [07:11] mshooshtari: If you know it's the wrong room, why are you asking? [07:11] GSF1200S: But with all this power comes the never-ending desire to push the girl to her limits [07:11] revenge: what happed to firefox [07:12] stargate: it looks kosher. What's the ssid... [07:12] mshooshtari: #ubuntu+1 is guaranteed to know more than here. [07:12] mnaines: gals!! [07:12] Flannel: I asked in +1, but it was quiet, so maybe somebody in this room who is not in the other knows. [07:12] losher, that is weird, i have had jaunty since april on my other computer and it works fine for me [07:12] hello [07:12] losher, SecureHomeNet [07:12] mnaines, I just setup ssh and o/c'd it a little.. no need to blow it up [07:12] how do i connect to wireless network using shell [07:12] ?

I just tried it in bash (I use tcsh), and I get the same error message as you... [07:13] revenge: and then [07:13] ? [07:13] koolhead: see if my sound works on youtube, with flash [07:13] ah ha... what's involved in running tcsh for the time being? [07:13] losher: sorry lost connection there [07:13] mnaines, I have two raptors with raid and DDR3.. O/Cing is all thats left [07:13] lorenzo: then you're lucky. No reason for you not to run jaunty then... [07:14] losher: sorry, lost connection there [07:14] im a speedfreak [07:14] ::<<«· hello ·»>>:: [07:14] foul_owl1: no problem... [07:14] doh, always forget to type your name losher :P what's involved in the switch to and from tcsh?

[07:14] mnaines, yeah, thats pretty fast... [07:14] revenge: flashplugin-nonfree ubuntu-restricted-extras install them and see if it wrks for u [07:14] lorenzo: I'm not having any problems with Flash in Ubuntu 64 [07:15] wont need to upgrade for a loooong while [07:15] GSF1200S: If ever... [07:15] stargate: nothing to it. Just type /bin/csh. Then do wpa_passphrase "" then type exit [07:15] mnaines, ok, maybe i'll give the 64 a shot! [07:15] my flash runs well on firefox [07:15] mnaines, would you say performance is significantly better on 64? [07:16] lorenzo: nope, I'm a coward. I run 8.04/32 and it's solid as a rock... [07:16] . [07:16] losher, lol, i understand [07:16] revenge sorry for wait use syaptic to install firefox [07:16] GSF1200S: For machines like what you and I have, actually, no...There isn't really any noticeable difference between 32 and 64 [07:17] mnaines, Im sure.. i use 64bit.. encoding is quite a bit faster [07:17] foul_owl1: sorry, no other ideas. I notice no-one else has commented, which kind of confirms that it's not a typical failure mode... [07:17] GSF1200S: For example, my laptop runs 32-bit Ubuntu 9.04 at 800MHz for each of two cores, but there isn't any noticeable difference in speed between that setup and the 64-bit on my desktop at full steam [07:18] can anyone tell me how to adjust screen brightness *xubuntu [07:18] i think im running 2.16 all the time... I really need to setup cpufreq [07:18] im sorry: 2.66, now 3.01 [07:19] losher, alright, now how do i use that to connect now that we got it to work properly :P [07:19] GSF1200S: You may notice a difference for the resource-intense applications, but for basic stuff like web surfing, IRC, and word processing, you don't need the 64-bit [07:19] yeah, but I do to use all 6GB of RAM :) [07:19] mnaines, so what would i need the 64? video editing for example? [07:19] at least effeciently [07:19] hy [07:20] lorenzo: Anything which would require insane amounts of resources...Video editing, game animation, stuff like that [07:20] mnaines, ok [07:21] lorenzo: If all you do is surf the web, check email, chat, and any of those basic things, you don't need anything more than an El Cheapo laptop with 32-bit Ubuntu [07:21] kisuke: how can i reinstall firefox in terminal? [07:21] revenge: why do u wanna re-install [07:21] ? [07:21] can anyone tell me how to adjust screen brightness *xubuntu [07:21] losher: thanks for the help!

[07:50] no [07:51] wait... I need to create an additional partition, which I need to do before I run mkntfs?

[07:51] ssk2: It's just that I'm trying to back it up with file backup manager, and it says I don't have permission [07:51] sorry, I see mkfs.ntfs, but creating a partition first? [07:52] fdisk shows no NTFS option [07:52] ssk2: Even though I've tried to chown [07:52] paipimenta: yes, you'd have to create (or already have) the partition before you mkfs [07:53] ... if that was the question [07:53] parted, got it [07:53] mkpartfs [07:54] how do I change the MTU settings for a network interface from the command line?

[08:14] krishmish, is the proxy info entered in there/ [08:14] on unbuntu what do I do if I need to get into the rescue mode but I didn't set a root password, only a password for the default user it had me create? [08:14] ? [08:14] I need to boot and stop freevo from starting. [08:15] its hanging my system. [08:15] Si235: you can boot to root recovery mode and not need a password [08:15] hey can u give me the name for the best backup solution so that i should not get confused [08:15] RickyTom_: there is no best anything [08:15] peddy: how do i do that? [08:15] RickyTom_: best is an opinion so is not concrete [08:15] ActionPairs: I'm trying that it keeps asking me for a password, is there any other way to boot to not have Freevo start? It didn't do this before, and the only thing I changed in my system was the MTU for the network adapter. [08:15] si235 these are one and the same whenever you do somehing that requires root access it askes you for that password you made [08:15] RickyTom_: one persons best is another mans worst [08:16] krishmish, System>Preferences>Network Proxy [08:16] !noroot | si235 [08:16] si235: We do not support having a root password set.

[08:16] losher, i love you ^_^ [08:16] peddy: yeah that i have already configured [08:16] !root |si235 [08:16] si235: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [08:16] kisuke, is !noroot a option on Grub? [08:16] stargate: something worked? [08:17] peddy: and i have applied it system wide [08:17] krishmish, is all the traffic on the computer going through the proxy? [08:17] right [08:17] RickyTom_: you could use rsync to only backup what changes in a folder, or you can use one of the many tools to create timed backups which you can restore from [08:17] yeah I was using Sudo and not logging in as root when I've been doing maintence on my system. [08:17] hello to all i have a problem with network manager the it does not let me to enable wireless (it's grayed out) while my wifi adapter it's working properly (i can scan using the terminal "iwlist wlan2 scan" and i can see the access points available) so anyone with any idea? [08:17] peddy: yes [08:17] krishmish, can you connect to the internet through your web browser?

[08:18] wait it started. [08:18] krishmish, go accounts>yahoo>Edit account [08:18] it just took for ever. [08:18] osher, and now i am writting it up in script form, so i can just auto run it when i install the os. no more live cd for me. [08:18] and looked like it was hung. [08:18] krishmish, what does the 'proxy' tab say? [08:18] RickyTom_: you can remaster the Live CD with different settings and updated packages [08:18] peddy: ok [08:18] losher, and now i am writting it up in script form, so i can just auto run it when i install the os. no more live cd for me. [08:18] si235 what are you tring to do that you started in recovery mode? [08:18] stargate: very cool,,, [08:18] peddy: its askin for proxy type, host, port username and password [08:18] i am sorry that was a jargon for me [08:18] losher: ^_^ well, i'm off then, thanks again ^_^ [08:19] krishmish, can you choose 'gnome settings'? [08:19] RickyTom_: or you could use partimage to create an image of your partitions which you can then spit back onto the disk using the same tool to restore [08:19] peddy: yeah [08:19] Hello, i was wondering if someone knew of any small open source projects that could use a beginner to intermediate programmer. I don't have too much time to devote right now, but would like to get involved in something fairly simple. Language doesn't matter, though i'd prefer c++. [08:19] krishmish, under 'proxy type' choose 'use GNOME proxy settings' [08:20] kisuke, I changed the MTU on my eth0 to 9000 to support Jumbo packets. [08:20] peddy: i did [08:20] mordocai: sourceforge.net, kde.org [08:20] Does anyone know if stdin: error 0 on boot should be a serious or harmless error? [08:20] I edited the interfaces file I had created so that the change would take place on reboot... [08:20] peddy: the error msg says, unable to connect [08:20] hey can u give the name of the application [08:20] I have connected to an ftp server using naulitus, but it cant change file permissions? any idea? [08:20] access denied, http proxy server forbids port 5050 tunnelling [08:20] alazyworkaholic: depends on what script throws the error [08:20] i install right now [08:20] RickyTom_: settings and updated packages is hardly jargon, the live CD is what you used to install the system. You can use remastering to change the ISO to have newer packages and add your own settings, kinda like customising the livecd [08:21] krishmish: is that the right port? [08:21] I installed unbuntu and it installed Freevo by default on my machine and it shows up on virtual console alt-F9. [08:21] krishmish, oh... -Do you own the proxy? [08:21] Boohbah: Well yes, but searching through lists isn't exactly fun... i was hoping someone had run across something interesting. [08:21] peddy: yes [08:21] RickyTom_: you cant use partimage from the installed system as the partitions are mounted and in use [08:21] but I can quit it from there, but I don't want to start it automatically. [08:21] I would like to log in with XDMCP to an Ubuntu host. I followed this guide: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty/RemoteAccess, but the host still doesn't show up in the XDMCP chooser and when I try to add its IP manually, I'm told it "didn't respond". [08:21] peddy: i do [08:21] si235 did you try undoing that in ubuntu it self? linux recovery mode is not like winwoze's at all [08:21] mordocai: 'interesting' is subjective [08:21] peddy: im using squid [08:21] RickyTom_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization [08:21] krishmish, I imagine you'd have to enable port 5050 tunneling through SQUID. I don't know how, though [08:21] si235 windoze's* [08:22] peddy: ihave to open the port/ [08:22] mordocai: http://xwax.co.uk/ is very interesting to me, though you'll need some additional hardware to hack on it [08:22] thanx i will try that [08:22] krishmish, is the proxy server inside your LAN? [08:22] peddy: gimme a second lemme try opening that port [08:22] hello to all i have a problem with network manager the it does not let me to enable wireless (it's grayed out) while my wifi adapter it's working properly (i can scan using the terminal "iwlist wlan2 scan" and i can see the access points available) so anyone with any idea? [08:22] RickyTom_: in ic, please write the person's name you are addressing [08:23] Boohbah: Yes, but you could argue that anything is subjective :). And yeah.... that looks interesting, but i don't really have any money for extra hardware right now. [08:23] how do i check the memory currently installed on my machine [08:23] Boohbah: my netbook's F'd. I'm trying to recover the filesystem with e2fsck from a liveusb but not having luck. Starting to think it's hardware. [08:23] RickyTom_: see how my text is highlighted for you, thats not an accident [08:23] .join #aircrack-ng [08:23] 0_0 [08:23] when i run from the command line: "/usr/bin/saytime -v 99 -f%P%l%M" i hear the comptuer speak the time. but when i put that into crontab -e ... i hear nothing [08:23] ok [08:23] wrapster: reboot, ress esc when grub loads, select memtest [08:23] opps XD [08:23] im trying to make a new partition in vista, but im getting access denied.. any ideas? [08:23] peddy: okay, i opened port 5050 [08:23] RickyTom_: see how all my lines to you start with your name, thats how its done, you can use tab to autocomplete [08:23] alazyworkaholic: oh yeah, do things run ok from the liveusb? that would determine hardware or software failure [08:24] I would like to log in with XDMCP to an Ubuntu host. I followed this guide: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty/RemoteAccess, but the host still doesn't show up in the XDMCP chooser and when I try to add its IP manually, I'm told it "didn't respond". How do I get this to work? [08:24] peddy: still the same issue [08:24] Hello, I'm installing Karmic from a LiveCD. Ubiquity isn't playing nice -- any ideas for installing without using ubiquity -- e.g. copying contents of the cd to the hard drive? [08:24] onexused: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeNX works for me [08:24] oddly I think it was the mtu setting in my interfaces file that caused the problem. [08:24] that doesn't make sense to me. [08:25] RickyTom_: type: Actio then press tab [08:25] as I can ifconfig the interface and set the MTU and it works fine. [08:25] ActionParsnip1: is there no way i can just see how much of memory is currently installed ? [08:25] miansc several problems 1 you're useing windows, 2. you are not a member of the admin grop on said OS, 3 the channel for windows problems is #windows [08:25] without switching off.. [08:25] RickyTom_: then type what you want to say to me [08:25] wrapster: free -m [08:25] wrapster: free -m [08:25] I have connected to an ftp server using naulitus, but it cant change file permissions? any idea? [08:25] Boohbah: I saw that, but don't you have to already be logged in on the client to run that? [08:25] my computer keeps hanging up just before the login screen [08:25] !wfm [08:25] Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/worksforme/ [08:25] could it be a graphic problem? [08:25] krishmish, try changing the 'pager' port to 80 or something in Yahoo account settings? [08:26] si235 any luck? [08:26] onexused: what do you mean logged in on the client? the server does the authentication [08:26] Boohbah: this is sad.. free -m shows a total of 4G while i have 6 [08:26] ActionParsnip1, hey is that fine [08:26] peddy: ok i did [08:26] wrapster: does your kernel have highmem support? [08:26] kisuke, I was able to boot back in... [08:26] i tried changing the power supply, but that didn't help [08:26] wrapster: does your bios show all the memory? [08:26] but I do need to know how to disable freevo from starting, and why the MTU would cause the system to hang when its on the freevo screen. [08:26] RickyTom_: perfect :D [08:27] Boohbah: I meant that my understanding was that a person had to have an account on the client to log into, then run freenx to log into an account on the server. Is that true? [08:27] Boohbah: yes it does [08:27] the bios says ~6G [08:27] peddy: i tried using the same port as my proxy [08:27] thank you for teaching me that [08:27] !tab [08:27] You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [08:27] and 80 too [08:27] RickyTom_: it highlights the txt in a room of 1300 users and makes my client alert that someone talked to me [08:27] Anyone with some ubiquity nous? [08:27] cant install VMs though i have memory... [08:27] onexused: yes, as is true with all remote desktop protocols... i'm not sure what you're asking [08:27] ActionParsnip1, : thanks for teaching me that [08:27] krishmish, it still fails? [08:27] what can be done? [08:27] kisuke: I would think that it has a configure script or something that is run to stop it from running. [08:28] yeah [08:28] krishmish, when it fails with port 80, what is the error? [08:28] RickyTom_: np man. good job [08:28] Boohbah: With XDMCP, you don't have to log into the client. That's what I want. A 'thin client' sort of thing. [08:28] peddy: it doesnt show any...its still showing connecting [08:28] peddy: thats it [08:29] Boohbah: should i install PAE [08:29] ActionParsnip1: hey i did the setting also just like you [08:29] and what is the use of having a rescue mode if it asks for the root password when there isn't one? [08:29] I just wanted to drop down to a shell. [08:29] i m planning to build a file server with software Raid5; Does anyone have recommendation on the hardware? [08:29] wrapster: for 32-bit... [08:29] RickyTom_: how do you mean? [08:29] yes [08:29] onexused: but you have to be logged in to run the client. [08:29] Boohbah: im on 32bit ubuntu 9.04 only [08:30] wrapster: only if you have more than 4Gb ram with a 32bit CPU, otherwise just use 64bit Ubuntu [08:30] wrapster: well then yes, you will have to enable PAE to address 6GB memory on a 32-bit platform [08:30] krishmish, try this for Google Talk - http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=5846942&postcount=3 [08:30] yes i have 6G of ram [08:30] shoudl I just remove the startup scripts for Freevo in the rc0.d and other related directories? or is there a better more reccomended method to stop it from automatically being started at boot up? [08:30] Boohbah: I get 4 stdin: error 0 messages a couple more about assuming drive cache: write through, more stdin's (~10) Showdow passowrds are now on, adduser: The user 'ubuntu already exists... & other more normal looking messages during boot of 9.10 A6 liveusb. Once that happens the machine works fine. I'm starting to think the ssd died (after 8 months light use???) because 10 e2fsck's eventually left the filesystem clea [08:30] krishmish, those are the settings you need to configure Gtalk with [08:30] peddy: ok [08:30] does using a kde software cause any performance issue under ubuntu? [08:30] hey guys what happened to gaybuntu?the website does not work anymore [08:31] ActionParsnip1: hey can you help me with server edtion too [08:31] RickyTom_: ask the channel [08:31] anybudy - well it depends whether or not your running it under gnome [08:31] alazyworkaholic: well, i wouldn't be using a development distribution to determine hardware failure, use something more stable [08:31] yes under gnome [08:31] anybudy KDE apps under gnome will cause the cache cleaner to launch - it hurts nothing but it's annoying [08:31] ActionParsnip1: i am sorry i did not understood that [08:32] RickyTom_: instead of asking just me, ask everybody [08:32] Boohbah: You have to be logged into -somewhere-. You -don't- have to log in on the local machine with some things (XDMCP). You log into the host/server -from- the local machine. [08:32] anybudy: loading gtk+ and kdelibs will take some memory, yes [08:32] boohbah - true that [08:32] Bluey: log a bug [08:32] or is it init.d where I would remove the startup scripts? [08:32] action -- I did - it's a known bug [08:32] Boohbah: But I won't keep arguing with you about it. [08:32] * Si235 feels a little lost. [08:32] Unrelated... Can someone tell me if this is normal? Wireless transfer of 500MB between two laptops that are less than 2 meters from a wireless g router is going at 1 MB/s tops. Shouldn't I be able to hit ~5 MB/s working at 54 Mb/s? [08:32] Bluey: cool [08:32] ActionParsnip1: ok i hope you are bored with me [08:33] -si235 i beleve so [08:33] RickyTom_: no its just good netiquette [08:33] only when running the software? it wont load it on every boot? [08:33] !init [08:33] Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto [08:33] Boohbah: ok, I'll try the beta when it comes out later & see if things work better. Thanks, [08:33] peddy: i got it working for gtalk [08:33] Are there any alarm programs available for ubuntu ? [08:33] chilli0 yes kontact [08:33] chilli0: at [08:34] Can I just copy a LiveCD to my filesystem to install, or do I need to do more? [08:34] chilli0 orage the calender program for ubuntu has an alarm function [08:34] hey guys what happened to gaybuntu?the website does not work anymore [08:34] also isn't there some sample interfaces files for network configuration so I can make sure I"m not doing somehting weird. [08:34] any ftp software recommendation for gnome? [08:34] <{g}> Hey, how do I find out which ubuntu version im running? [08:34] baoji: you can use special tools to put the live CD direct onto a US disk so I dont see why not, you will need to do a lot of the stuff the installer does manually [08:34] alazyworkaholic: why not get a hardy or jaunty usb image? [08:34] baoji run the live cd and tha will walk you though an install after you click the install icon on the desktop [08:35] !ftp | anybudy [08:35] anybudy: FTP clients: Nautilus (Places -> Connect to server), gFTP, FileZilla (for !GNOME); Konqueror, Kasablanca, KFTPGrabber (for !KDE); FireFTP (for Firefox); ftp, lftp (for !cli) - See also !FTPd [08:35] hey guys what happened to gaybuntu?the website does not work anymore [08:35] {g}: lsb_release -a [08:35] {g}, I think lsb_release -a does it [08:35] anybudy client or server? [08:35] <{g}> ActionParsnip1: thanks [08:35] kisuke, thanks. I'm running the LiveCD now and unfortunately the installer doesn't work, so I'm looking for alternatives :) [08:35] hey guys what happened to gaybuntu?the website does not work anymore [08:35] ActionParsnip1: hey which application you recommended to me for backing up the windows partition [08:35] Steil: i would check for a PEBKAC error on your end [08:36] <{g}> Is Reiser4 installed by default in Ubuntu9.04? [08:36] RickyTom_: if you want the WHOLE partiton I'd go for partimage [08:36] Bluey: client, I have tried naulitus, but it doesnt change the remote folder permissions [08:36] ActionParsnip1, thank you. Yes, I imagine so. Obviously I'll need to create a user, for example. But the idea is workable in practice? [08:36] {g} try cat /etc/issue [08:36] anybudy - I use filezilla -- [08:36] <{g}> Bluey: thanks [08:36] baoji: it can work, its just a bit messy. The installer is much more graceful [08:37] but if you want a command line instead of gui -- I use ncftp [08:37] peddy: im yet to get thru with yahoo [08:37] ActionParsnip1: i have searched for the partimage but not able to get in add/remove list [08:37] Bluey: I couldnt find it in "add/remove softare" [08:37] anybudy: also try lftp [08:37] Hello guys! I put Karmic Koala on a USB stick and omg how fast it is :D i'm so amazed the speed is incredible :) [08:37] !info partimage [08:37] anybudy hang on a sec... [08:37] partimage (source: partimage): backup partitions into a compressed image file. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.6.7-2ubuntu1 (jaunty), package size 275 kB, installed size 964 kB [08:37] peddy: im now able to work with gtalk [08:37] Faulty: omg so fast!! [08:37] RickyTom_: make sure you have the optional repos enabled in synaptic [08:38] does anyone know how can I set the disc cash flush interval on ext4? [08:38] Bluey: FileZilla FTP client cannot be installed on your computer type (i386). Either the application requires special hardware features or the vendor decided to not support your computer type. [08:38] Boohbah: yeah it's really fast blows my mind :D [08:38] ActionParsnip1: ok wait [08:38] anybudy try: sudo apt-cache search filezilla [08:38] baoji what error did you get? [08:38] is it a bad idea to use Jumbo packets? [08:38] ooops sudo apt-get install filezilla [08:38] Bluey: apt-cache doesnt need sudo [08:38] Si235: depends on context [08:38] <{g}> ActionParsnip1: is that better then cat /dev/sdax | gzip > x_backup ? [08:39] 'Boohbah, why you say its my problem that gaybuntu site is not work? [08:39] action you are correct [08:39] {g}: its another way, not better, not worse [08:39] Si235: when streaming to my X-Box running XBMC it struggles with jumbos [08:39] Bluey: I am trying it. [08:39] kisuke, installer crashed after completing the initial questions. The partitioner screen briefly came up and then crashed. Apport observed that it crashed with an AttributeError in install(). [08:40] btw, i'm running on my dad's computer it has a Intel 7300 processor is that any good? [08:40] Faulty: how much ram? [08:40] sounds like a bad install [08:40] ActionParsnip1: only 2GB [08:40] <{g}> Hey People, another Question! I want to archive 100mb of textfiles and compress them as much as possible. will probably not read them for years. but i want to use a tool that will be available for as long as possible. what would you use? currently i think i will use "gzip -9". [08:40] baoji sounds like a bad burn [08:40] Faulty: more than ive got [08:40] After password change network connection applet requires keyring on each login, [08:40] Faulty: whats the system for? [08:40] I have a layer 3 managed Gigabit / Fibre switch I'm connecting between my two comptuers. [08:41] ActionParsnip1: it's just for office stuff but when i'm around it's a bit different you know :) [08:41] and my PPC machine supports jumbo packets pretty well. [08:41] Faulty: then its way more than he'll need [08:41] Faulty: you dont need a ferarri to drive to the shops and back once a day [08:42] ActionParsnip1: do you also have E-7300? :D [08:42] Anyone know of a good writeup on how ubuntu one's supposed to work to synchronize files? [08:42] does anyone know how can I set the disc cash flush interval on ext4? [08:42] sudo apt-get subversion [08:42] \opps wrong window XD [08:42] Bluey: thank you. [08:42] anybudy that work? [08:43] Faulty: i run a full compiz deskto pwith all the bells and whictles on a cpu half that speed and only one core [08:43] {g} try p7zip [08:43] Bluey: yes, thank you. [08:43] ActionParsnip1: thankyou very much [08:43] anybudy -- ur welcome - enjoy! [08:43] ActionParsnip1: How do i use at? [08:43] kisuke, I'm hoping it isn't because I have limited access to a CD-burner. I have reinstalled ubiquity (and now am installing parted) into memory which I would think would ameliorate a bad burn. [08:43] baoji try re burning the CD [08:43] What do you think of ext4? [08:43] Why firefox consumption and xorg up 80% of the Wizard [08:43] chilli0: its very primitive. let me find a guide [08:44] ActionParsnip1: k [08:44] The Ram is currently only 500 megabytes [08:44] baoji that should work [08:44] fedrawi: it's not working? [08:44] Bluey: I wish I could use naulitus, I also wonder the cause of it, why it doesnt change the perms... [08:45] chilli0: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ClamAV read the very bottom. Just change the command to something like: mplayer Pantera\ Cowboys\ from\hell.mp3 or something and leave your speakers on ;) [08:45] ActionParsnip1: nice :) the only downside with this mothearboard is the the graphics card is intergrated [08:45] anybudy -- well ftp requires an ftp client - and they are a plenty -- [08:45] Gnea, How to solve the problem, please [08:45] ActionParsnip1: gotta buy a PCI-E card [08:45] Faulty: i have integrated nvidia here [08:45] I'm sorry for my weak [08:45] fedrawi: you haven't pinpointed the problem. please do so. [08:45] action - me too [08:45] Faulty: if he's only browsing the web, why is a big beefy gfx card needed? [08:45] ActionParsnip1: this is Intel X4500 [08:45] Faulty: are you going to do some heavy 3d gaming on ubuntu? [08:45] Faulty: those are supported nicely [08:46] fedrawi: are you talking about the installer on the livecd? [08:46] ActionParsnip1: because I like to play games sometime :P... and Ubuntu is not installed on this computer I'm just running it of a USB Stick [08:46] Gnea, I have a processor consumes more of RAM [08:46] Bluey: yes you are right but it raises another question for me, I used "add/remove software" button on my gnome menu to search for filezilla [08:46] fedrawi: Would you prefer support in arabic? [08:46] Faulty: i though this was mainly office + web based. If you want games grab an nvidia card and you will have an easy life [08:47] Bluey: "FileZilla FTP client cannot be installed on your computer type (i386). Either the application requires special hardware features or the vendor decided to not support your computer type" [08:47] anybudy: you need to enable universe and multiverse repositories through "Software Sources" [08:47] Flannel, I did not have a solution [08:47] !arabic | fedrawi [08:47] fedrawi: For Arabic language support, please : /join #ubuntu-arabic : للحصول على الدعم باللغة العربية [08:47] anybudy should be under applications/internet [08:47] anybudy: oh really, that's strange [08:47] Gnea, yes [08:47] chilli0: nice huh, you could write a script to use zenity too to show a popup onscreen and suchlike [08:47] ok ubottu [08:47] ActionParsnip1: Yeah that's true but .. hmm yes it's my dad's computer but I could get a new graphics card ... [08:48] Faulty: provided there is a slot for one, some intels game ok though [08:48] fedrawi: they can probably help you better than I/we can :) [08:48] ActionParsnip1: my own computer is a AMD 3200 + ... LOL my friends say I live in the stone age :D :D [08:48] anybudy: i just installed filezilla on a 32-bit machine with karmic... [08:48] Gnea, I can not find one of the Arabian Canal [08:49] Faulty: my most powerful is a 3000 AM2 Semperon [08:49] fedrawi: /join #ubuntu-arabic [08:49] Faulty: i have old systems galore [08:49] hey guys what happened to gaybuntu?the website does not work anymore [08:49] fedrawi: in your xchat window, type this: /join #ubuntu-arabic [08:49] Boohbah: i installed it using command line as Bluey recommended. [08:49] ActionParsnip1: hihi :) [08:49] Faulty: if it does what you need at an acceptible speed, save your money [08:49] Gnea, No one is the Arabian Canal [08:49] Boohbah: but the "add/remove software" says : "FileZilla FTP client cannot be installed on your computer type (i386). Either the application requires special hardware features or the vendor decided to not support your computer type" [08:50] fedrawi: oh my... [08:50] Gnea, Do you understand my problem [08:50] how do i change the logon image in ubuntu [08:50] fedrawi: not entirely, but I can try [08:50] i wanted to customize it [08:50] ActionParsnip1: yeah I have not even tried playing games on it just because I heard alot of bad things about this X4500 [08:50] anybudy: as long as you can install it with apt-get that's fine... i don't use the add/remove software [08:50] Gnea, Why the processor consumes more of RAM [08:51] fedrawi: I want to understand - are you trying to install the system or is it already installed to the hard drive? [08:51] fedrawi: Xorg and firefox are CPU-intensive, they have to draw lots of graphics... you may reduce memory/CPU usage by disabling compiz if it's running [08:51] Gnea, Sticky [08:51] hello :) was wondering if someone has received an invite to google wave yet [08:52] how do I test my network configuration from the interface file and have it reload? [08:52] fedrawi: does that mean it's running off of the hard drive? [08:52] Boohbah: ive found the alpha flash in firefox uses less cpu than the one on the repos [08:52] To Aastkhaddm compiz [08:52] fedrawi: and a system running from livecd or liveusb will consume more resources than a system installed on your hard drive [08:52] Boohbah: well the alpha 64bit one [08:52] action -- true that... [08:52] Bluey: i jumped to chrome now, its spiffy [08:52] ActionParsnip1: good to hear 64-bit flash is getting better, maybe i can upgrade to a 64-bit desktop soon :) [08:53] Gnea, I installed on the hard drive [08:53] Boohbah, I installed on the hard drive [08:53] action - Is chrome available for linux? [08:53] bluey yes it is [08:53] fedrawi: What speed is your CPU? [08:53] kisuke - let me see if I can find it... [08:53] Bluey: indeed [08:53] how do i change the login image in ubunutu [08:53] Bluey: https://launchpad.net/~chromium-daily/+archive/ppa [08:54] thanks [08:54] bluey i have it right here [08:54] ahh it's a beta.... [08:54] Gnea, http://www.fpaste.org/Ewds/ [08:54] yeah I got that in firefox... [08:54] Bluey: yes, the linux version is very new... very exciting! [08:54] is there a way to have synergy work in the GDM login window? [08:55] DeathFox: http://www.arsgeek.com/2006/09/22/how-to-change-your-login-screen-in-ubuntugnome/ [08:55] it works fine in X11, but not in my login windo. [08:55] Bluey: webkit beats gecko hard. [08:55] okay reading page now... [08:55] alright... I booted up with a Live CD, now I need to know how to resize my /dev/sda2 [08:55] I ran sudo fdisk /dev/sda [08:55] paipimenta: gparted [08:55] when the login window is active (gdm), is it running under X11? [08:56] fedrawi: at 512M of ram, it can consume a lot of swap if you have a lot of programs running. In addition, gnome programs themselves can be memory-intensive hogs. [08:56] paipimenta: gksudo gparted [08:56] it's a LVM partition! [08:56] How do I get sed to work whatever the pattern is uppercase or lowercase? Is there any way to let sed do the replacement independent of characters case? [08:56] Bluey: copy or symlink the libflashplugin.so file in /usr/lib/chromium-browser/plugins/ and run chrome with: chromium-browser --enable-plugins [08:56] gparted doesn't support that [08:56] paipimenta: oh, oh, don't do that then! :) [08:56] will fdisk work? [08:56] action - I am trying to find d/l now [08:56] and if so, i ran sudo fdisk /dev/sda... does x, c change # of cylinders on certain partition? or whole disk? [08:56] paipimenta: no, use lvm tools https://www.redhat.com/archives/linux-lvm/2006-August/msg00081.html [08:57] Gnea, I will show pictures of the consumption ok [08:57] fedrawi: okay [08:57] Bluey: use the link Boohbah gave: https://launchpad.net/~chromium-daily/+archive/ppa [08:57] Bluey: add repo, add key, apt-get install [08:57] action - I am there -- [08:58] Bluey: then run: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list [08:58] bluey tutorial right here http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-chromium-google-chrome-in-ubuntu-using-deb-package.html === nick is now known as Guest3537 [08:58] I figured out what caused my system to hang, apparently when I edited the /etc/network/interfaces file, I set mtu=9000 instead of mtu 9000, and that equals sign caused a system freeze that eventually I was able to bypass by booting with system networking disabled from the grub boot loader rescue menu.

Basically, this means no foul language and no abuse towards others. [09:03] I have a list of PIDs in a file, how can I kill them all with one command? kill -9 | cat file didn't work [09:03] os x sux! [09:03] !language | bogdan [09:03] bogdan: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [09:03] csaba_: kill -9 < file maybe [09:03] i dont like it at all [09:03] ubottu: Ok ubuntu botty... ;) [09:03] jobhopeful: do you have an ubuntu question? [09:03] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [09:03] Gnea, firefox Almstvh not consume much because I did not open many sites [09:04] hmmm.... my lvm pvs says it's 25G, and my lvm vgs says it's 25G [09:04] ubottu is annoying [09:04] Sorry, I don't know anything about is annoying [09:04] but fdisk says the partition takes up the entire disk space [09:04] csaba_: I don't know if it is the best approach, but you could use use cat and xargs. [09:04] installing chromium now... [09:04] well that explains it [09:04] or, the second partition takes cylinder 26-7297 out of 7297 possible [09:04] Error: Ok ubuntu botty... :) [09:04] anyone here know how to access an ftp server behind a router? I have my ports set up properly...please be nice :) [09:04] Bluey: nice, remember the 2 extra steps [09:04] ActionParsnip1, Madsy: isn't there something like an exec command which can do this? [09:05] Not that I know of. [09:05] can someone give me a link on how cpu usage/load works in ubuntu? [09:05] browncouch: it should work when your portforwards are set up right [09:05] kill takes one process at a time. killall can take regex. [09:05] browncouch: you must forward a port to the port you are running FTP on (usually 21), some routers only allow ports to be forwarded from the same por external to the same internal port === EasyTUX is now known as Error [09:05] off to #lvm [09:05] what does it mean when a process has a question mark to the right of the PID? [09:06] well it works internally...but I must not be logging into it properly... i am kind of new to server setup [09:06] Hey can anyone open pavucontrol? [09:06] fedrawi: well, your list there is only semi-complete, so I'm guessing that there are a LOT of programs running - they all add up [09:07] csaba_: for pidnum in cat file; do kill -9 $pidnum; done [09:07] mine has just stopped working for some reason. (9.04) [09:07] fedrawi: my suggestion would be to either add more RAM to the system (1G or 2G total should run very nicely), or use a version of Ubuntu that is less resource-intensive, such as Xubuntu [09:08] Can everyone open pulse audio control or just me having problems? [09:08] works! [09:08] Gnea, Believe me, I did not bother many programs [09:09] Bluey, pavucontol? [09:09] does anyone here run Maya 2009 or similar on Ubuntu? [09:09] can you recommend an imap-client for CLI? maybe something with a little menu (like yast or other ncurse-stuff) [09:09] ozfalcon - what's that? [09:09] I've got one hard disk, two partitions, a /boot and a root LVM [09:09] kisuke, no luck after reinstalling parted & ubiquity. [09:09] Can you run pavucontrol? [09:09] ActionParsnip1: ah good, I just needed to put cat test between ` ` [09:09] fedrawi: Right, but the default Ubuntu uses Gnome, which is itself memory-intensive. [09:09] hi =) [09:09] csaba_: nice [09:10] ozfalcon I don't know - I've never/seen heard of it.. [09:10] I want 3 partitions, one boot, one lVM, and one NTFS [09:10] nevermind [09:10] how do I shrink the LVM partition? I already shrank the vg and the pv to 25Gig [09:10] ozfalcon - nope says I can install it... [09:10] i am having some trouble booting up, something about fsck complaining that last mount time was in the future. The exact error message is here (http://pastie.org/637760), any ideas? [09:10] ozfalcon - what does it do? [09:10] but the partition still takes up all but 25 of the 7297 cylinders on my HD [09:10] How can I run zenmap as root? I get : warnings.warn(str(e), _gtk.Warning) gtk.GtkWarning: could not open display [09:11] Gnea, My memory 4g [09:11] fedrawi: The only thing that looks odd there would be rsyslog, so if it's writing to a database, that could be taking up a lot of resources. [09:11] Hey anyone can recommend me some good flow chart software on linux to draft my app [09:11] fedrawi: good point - I hadn't noticed that. You said initially 500M [09:11] disappearedng: kivio or dia [09:12] disappearedng: or use a mindmap [09:12] hey can someone help me out? [09:12] disappearedng: freemind [09:12] so yea zenmap anyone? [09:12] as root [09:12] DIA sucks [09:12] csaba_: if its something you use a lot, make a script that takes an arg (the file name) and will kill the PIDs for you [09:12] sudo zenmap :-D [09:13] !ask | DuckGod [09:13] DuckGod: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [09:13] ActionParsnip1: yeah I'll do just that thanks [09:13] paipimenta: :-D ... its 4am thats my excuse [09:13] thanks [09:13] thanks for the tips on chromium will try it out tomorrow -- [09:13] I like this pipe syntax implemented inside ubottu [09:13] off to bed... [09:13] woo hoo! it worked! [09:14] I need some voice here [09:14] no prob zaoul [09:14] hello [09:14] wow... time to hit up some enterprise linux rooms for this partition crap [09:15] (and by enterprise linux rooms, I mean my bed) [09:15] ok so when i try to install jaunty on my second pc it installs all the way then when i reboot it says existing intel boot agent and wont go any further.... [09:15] baoji what does sudo lspci -vv rrturn (sudo because w/o it you tend to miss things [09:15] okay I identified the init scripts that invoke the startup of Freevo in the /etc/init.d , would there be anywhere else I would have to look for it starting up its services, or issues I could encounter? [09:15] Bluey, It's the Pulse Audio control panel. [09:15] Gnea, I said that he is unable to absorb dislocated 500 [09:15] Bluey, Problem solved now. [09:15] fedrawi: Sorry, I misunderstood. === loki_ is now known as loki_666 [09:15] sinan still around? [09:16] just installed jaunty.. I have ati rage128 and I want to know if ubuntu is using ati's drivers or not [09:16] since it's kinda slow [09:16] browncouch: i am here :) [09:17] baoji place it on http://paste.ubuntu.com [09:17] Gnea, I thank you very important because you are respectful and pleasant and helpful [09:17] anyone know if there's a specific channel for Karmic discussion? [09:17] Gnea, اسف على ازعاجك اخي [09:17] sinan: I don't know what it would be called but may there is a file you can edit with gedit or vim somewhere in root [09:17] Gnea, Sorry to bother my brother [09:17] !karmic | G_A_C [09:17] G_A_C: Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 29th, 2009 - Karmic WILL break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [09:17] anyone know of a good music visualizer? [09:17] ta :) [09:17] and hitting that will bypass the bootagent? [09:18] baoji and place the link here [09:18] ubottu: You're as intelligent as deryl neh ? [09:18] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [09:18] browncouch: what is the file related to ? how can i find it ? [09:18] sinan:one of your scripts in init.d is messed up for some reason [09:18] kisuke, http://paste.ubuntu.com/282819/ [09:18] ubottu: :) [09:18] browncouch: how do you suggest i proceed from here? [09:19] brb [09:19] ubottu: Stupid bot ! [09:19] Sorry, I don't know anything about Stupid bot ! [09:19] sinan: possibly a result with a change in bios...or something...I wouls suggest googling for the file that holds mounting history...or a log of some sort...i am googling...to see if i can find the related file [09:19] kisuke, unfortunately I have to go now, but thanks for your help! I will leave IRC up in case you want to /msg me. Perhaps I'll run into you later... :) [09:20] browncouch: i have the syslog and dmesg, but can't find much useful stuff there [09:20] ubottu: bot ! [09:20] Sorry, I don't know anything about bot ! [09:20] ubottu: ubuntu ! [09:20] Sorry, I don't know anything about ubuntu ! === Error is now known as Sorry [09:20] !raid > kisuke [09:20] kisuke, please see my private message [09:21] fedrawi: you are welcome [09:21] Yesterday I installed Empathy. It worked. Today the Contact List reports: "New Jabber Account; Name in use". What does that mean? I cannot see any contact names in the Contact List. [09:21] ok so when i try to install jaunty on my second pc it installs all the way then when i reboot it says existing intel boot agent and wont go any further....how do i bypass that? [09:21] ubottu: u shit ! [09:21] bullgard: someone is logged on with the same name, or you are logged i someplace else [09:21] O! [09:21] launchpad Q, is there a way to configure mailing lists to default to reply to the list, rather than the sender? [09:22] Sorry: please stop the bot abuse [09:22] sinan:this is happening when you try to login and mount your hd? [09:22] Boohbah: Sorry, are you a bot ? [09:22] browncouch: when booting up [09:22] ActionParsnip1: What do you mean by "name"? [09:22] Sorry: no [09:22] np [09:23] ;) [09:23] bullgard: the user name you are trying to logon with [09:23] browncouch: i will try to restart in single-user mode and see what happens :) === firecrotch1 is now known as firecrotch [09:24] Ok, I have no idea on what to do here. So I installed ubuntu through a live cd, worked perfectly, no issues. Wrote over an existing partition. I tried booting and it's just been stuck blinking "_" for about 4 hours or so. [09:25] Anyone know of a fix? [09:25] miron721: what changed to trigger the issue? [09:26] Nothing changed. Went from only windows, no grub to overwriting an old unused partition. Don't know if that partition ever worked, salvaged the hdd from an old computer [09:26] I reformatted it though, so I don't think it's an hdd issue [09:27] hey guys [09:27] did you verify the CD once initially booted to? Did you MD5 check the ISO you used? [09:27] actionparsnip1 miron721 sounds like a GRUB config problem [09:27] im trying to boot from the cd on startup to install [09:27] i dunnowhic f key to press but === `ph8 is now known as ph8 [09:28] kisuke: did you fix your issues from yesterday? [09:28] miron721: does grub load before the cursor flashes? [09:28] does anyone know?? [09:28] godsatr nope [09:28] godstar nope [09:28] ActionParsnip1, Yeah, grub loads. Neither the regular option or the recovery version work. Haven't tried windows or memtest though [09:28] Miansc: try F12 for the boot menu [09:29] miron721: I've seen problems in hdds where the boot sectors were damaged. it's rare but it happens [09:29] i did [09:29] well pretty sure i did [09:29] Miansc: try F2 or Delete Key for BIOS [09:29] miron721: do you get the loading splash screen and the bar progressing? [09:29] ActionParsnip1: As far as I know, Empathy does use a "user name" to log on the Jabber network. Rather, it uses a Jabber identity. Do you mean the Jabber identity JID? [09:29] mainsc press "enter" or "return" depending on your keyboard [09:29] kk [09:29] ill try enter f12 and delete lol [09:29] brb [09:29] bullgard: if thats what it uses, sure [09:29] kisuke: Sorry to hear [09:30] miron721: get ubcd and check/repair your hdd. you might also try low-level formatting your hdd [09:30] ActionParsnip1, Nope, and with my laptop running nbr, it usually flashes the _ for a few seconds, then flashes a few lines of text then the splash [09:31] masutaa, I can do all that from the live cd, right? I installed ubuntu because my windows is broken somehow. So I only have my netbook without a cd drive. [09:31] ActionParsnip1: I doubt hat you are right. I am using the same JID today as yeserday, and it worked yesterday. [09:31] ok, did you install video drivers recently? [09:31] bullgard: but if you are logged in elsewhere will it still let you log in where you are now? [09:32] ActionParsnip1, Nope, this is the first boot. Fresh from install === Sorry is now known as this [09:32] miron721: ok then i would check the cd you installed with as well as md5 test the iso [09:32] miron721: a bad disk will make a bad install [09:33] miron721: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromImgFiles [09:33] miron721: if you already have it installed on your SSD, disregard. [09:34] godstar, Not using ssds, if that makes a difference. [09:34] miron721: you can still follow that guide for IDE / sata drives. [09:34] ActionParsnip1: Yesterday I was logged in on my computer T43. Today I'm trying to login on my computer T43. Today it fails. My JID is not logged in elsewhere as far as I know. [09:36] bullgard: i'm not overly familiar with jabber but thats all i can think it would be [09:36] Hi, I'd like to recompile the kernel, but would like to start the configuration from what I already have from ubuntu 8.04. There is no config.gz in /proc. Anyone who know where to get the x86_64 config for the ubuntu 8.04 2.6.24-24 kernel? [09:36] bullgard: you ould find a site or tool that could test if you were online or not, or use a different account to check === MadMax is now known as Guest58544 [09:37] bullgard: otherwise i'm outta ideas [09:37] Ok, did the "Check disk integrity" off the boot cd. No errors found. And I deleted the .iso I burned it from, should I make another cd and try intalling again [09:37] Where can I find Ubuntu 9.10 Beta? [09:38] miron721: are you trying to install Ubuntu on your netbook? [09:38] godstar, No, got ubuntu nbr running fine. I'm trying to install on my desktop === this is now known as you === you is now known as Guest39493 [09:39] http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/karmic/alpha-6/ [09:40] miron721: 1 HDD or 2? [09:40] No, not Alpha 6. Is the beta release supposed to come out today? [09:40] who changes my nick ???????????? [09:40] miron721: if the cd is ok, chances are the image was too, you SHOULD check before burning. [09:40] http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ [09:40] Guest39493: #ubuntu+1 is the place to go to ask questions about Karmic, this channe is only for supported releases of Ubuntu. [09:40] Guest39493: the system, there is somebody already called "you" logged onto the server [09:41] Solved. Found my config. [09:41] miron721: where are you having trouble during the install? [09:42] godstar, install went perfectly. No errors. And it's 2 sata hdds, 1 sata optical drive [09:42] miron721: then what is the problem? [09:43] godstar, it doesn't boot. Without the cd in, I select ubuntu in the grub, and it sticks at a flashing "_". Longest I've left it is 4 hours. [09:43] hmm [09:44] mirion i still say it sounds like grub was configured wrong === kisuke1 is now known as kisuke [09:44] miron721: do you have anything on the separate HDD? If not reload Ubuntu on it. You could also put gparted on a flash drive reformation the HDD that wont boot. === Guest39493 is now known as GrosseMerde [09:44] kisuke, That might be. How would I fix that? Keeping in mind I don't have anything that can boot on here other than the live cd. [09:44] /gparted on a flash drive and reformat/ [09:45] mirion can you see your hard didk in the live CD? [09:45] hey, my wireless is rather shameful under Linux; honestly I never tried it under Windows, but I have a friend who has a similar-era laptop, and his can reach my wirless network fine from my front room (He gets about 60% connection on Windows Vista), but I cannot get anything. I saw a post on the Ubuntu forums which said something to the effect of "check your hardware drivers", which I have done, but under hardware drivers I only have my nvidia drivers as an opti [09:45] mirion721 can you see your hard disk in the Live CDS? === GrosseMerde is now known as GrosConnard [09:45] kisuke, I could see it in the installer, let me check if I can browse files [09:46] miron721: you can run your live cd and install gparted from add/remove. Keep in mind that any added apps you run in your live cd will be thrown into ram. Once you have gparted installed, you can reformat the HDD in question. === GrosConnard is now known as Va_Te_Faire_Mett [09:46] godstar, Do I have to reformat the entire disk? I've got a bunch of stuff I don't want to lose, and no external drives [09:46] godstar grub misconfig maybe? === Va_Te_Faire_Mett is now known as Va_TeFaireMettre [09:47] Is there a way I can check the data to see if that's the issue, without reformatting?

[09:47] seriously.. wtf? [09:47] miron721: you can copy your files over using the Live Cd. You will need to try to mount your HDD in question while in the live cd session. [09:47] kisuke: could be. [09:48] miron721, you don't need to format do reinstall grub [09:48] formating will not resolve your problem [09:48] unless the filesystem is corrupted, which is unlikely === Va_TeFaireMettre is now known as DerylIs1GrosPD [09:48] godstar: tring to see if he can get to menu.lst should tell us something...

Flashing _ [09:52] i didnt even know "sudo" could get access denied on localhost - any1 know what number chmod must be, for SUDO to get access denied?

[09:53] jussi01: yup [09:53] kisuke: you're correct, it should automount ntfs. [09:53] jussi01: like apt-get [09:53] hanshenrik: curious. and you are certain the file is executable?

[10:00] iceroot: try F5 [10:00] kisuke: so you really think that question fits better here than in #ubuntu+1? [10:00] kisuke: nope [10:01] kisuke, Empty on booting the live cd. Though I have 6 seperate partitions I can mount. I forgot windows always adds a 200 megabyte partition for pretty much no reason [10:01] error404notfound: you can install pidgin freely [10:02] Wait, that 200 meg partition has some boot stuff in it. Could that be the issue? [10:02] when i turn on my second computer after installing jaunty it says reboot and select proper boot device....? [10:02] miron721: can you mount your /boot or ubuntu partitions? [10:02] DuckGod: it does? [10:03] kisuke, Yup, in it now [10:03] yeah whats up with that? [10:03] where does it say that? [10:03] DuckGod: that means either there is no bootloader installed on the right disk, or the bios can't see it [10:03] first thing it says when i turn it on [10:03] go to /boot/grub/ please post menu.lst to http://paste.ubuntu.com [10:03] so, after POST? [10:03] yes [10:04] DuckGod: sounds like the incorrect MBR was selected at install time - should be /dev/sda (MBR of the firt disk or something like that) not a partition [10:04] its just wierd cause i did it with the same live cd i installed jaunty on this pc [10:04] Hey. I am trying to resize an ext4 partition. But the live usb that i have does not seem to support ext4. Gparted in this live distro shows the ext4 partition as ext3. is it okay to resize it anyway?? [10:04] DuckGod: so first double check your bios settings for correct boot order and device settings [10:05] ive changed the boot order many times trying to get it to work [10:05] KoolD: i don't think so. at least have a backup first [10:06] should i try turning on plug an play os? [10:06] miron721: ? [10:06] Whoa, this recognizes my obscure wireless card. Never noticed that before. [10:06] stefg: guess i'll backup then. Thanks [10:07] Augh, stupid cat tore out the network cable. Ok, it's paste.ubuntu.com/282840/ [10:07] KoolD: the livecd that you're using... what distro/version is it? [10:07] DuckGod: that doesn't matter. the best thing you could do is boot up the Desktop live cd on the box in question and join this channel from there [10:08] oooooooooooooooo [10:08] ok [10:08] ooooooo [10:08] aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa [10:08] miron721: kk one min installing gparted [10:08] nvm thought i was on a diff chan on a diff server [10:08] iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii [10:08] firecrotch: its backtrack 4. Its based on ubuntu. [10:08] wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww [10:08] eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee [10:08] honey^moon: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [10:08] rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr [10:08] wok [10:09] wyvern is alive again !! [10:09] I just erased an NTFS, formatted at ext3, added it to my root partition. Now when I boot into my home the new size is not recognized. What am I missing? [10:09] when i use the live cd it acts like everything is normal [10:09] it [10:10] KoolD: I would recommend not even trying to do the resize with older versions of resizing tools, even though ext4 is supposed to be 100% backwards compatible - there are reports of problems [10:10] DuckGod: again, you need to select the correct disk to install grub to [10:10] jakerue: what it exactly did you do to 'add it to your root partition' ? [10:10] stefg I used gparted resize === [2]sassyn is now known as sassyn [10:11] so just choosing the use whole drive dosent work?> [10:12] stefg: you can see the results of my fdisk -> http://paste.ubuntu.com/282842/ [10:14] jakerue: so far, so good. and what does df -h tell? [10:14] DuckGod: that's a different section [10:14] Gnea if i installed it while my box had an intel network card do you think that could possible be the problem? [10:14] DuckGod: the part I'm talking about is at the very end of the installation phase [10:14] firecrotch: so would it be alright if i try to resize with ubuntu? [10:15] Miron721 here, my laptop seems to be dropping it's connection a lot so I'm on on the live cd as well [10:15] KoolD: I would think you would be okay to resize. [10:15] godstar paste.ubuntu.com/282840/ miron721's menu.lst [10:15] at the end of my installer it just tells me to reboot an thats it it dosent give me any other options [10:15] DuckGod: okay, I'll try to explain it in more layman's terms - if you have a keg of beer, and a pitcher, and a glass, and if you tell someone to fill the pitcher from the keg in order to fill their glasses, and if the person empties the keg into his mouth into the pitcher, then nobody gets beer. [10:15] kisuke: k [10:15] thanks then i'm off to resize [10:15] stefg: I am using the liveCD, should I mount my sda6 first and and df -h from there? [10:16] DuckGod: it's the same idea here - grub isn't getting installed to the MBR of the hard drive, so it won't boot [10:16] Hello! I have a DVD image (iso), and I would like to burn it. The problem is, that the iso file is a little bit larger than the capacity of my disk. How could I solve it? [10:16] DuckGod: rather, into his mouth INSTEAD of into the pitcher [10:16] hello [10:16] DuckGod: or shall I use another example? [10:16] will someone verify my ftp??? 24.116.22.203 anonymous [10:17] do you know kobuntu server? [10:17] tell me what you think of the picture lol [10:17] that works...

[10:18] DuckGod: so what you need to do is, reinstall the system and get to the end, and when it asks where you want it to install grub to, make sure you select the MBR of the same hard drive you installed the system to (so if your partitions are /dev/sda1, /dev/sda2, etc, then /dev/sda is where you want grub to go) [10:18] help me === kb is now known as Guest8729 [10:18] godsatr im at a loss you? [10:18] jakerue: yes, mount sda1 and sda5... you can apt-get install pastebinit for convenience. interesting would be 'df -h | pastebinit' the fstab of the installed system and 'sudo blkid | pastebinit' [10:18] how do i turn off all power-saving?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [10:19] kisuke: It looks like grub is booting on (hd0,0) with /dev/hda5 as the mount point. This could be his problem here. He did say he say 6 partitions on two HDD. [10:20] stefg: couldn't find pastebinit through apt-get [10:20] hi indus [10:20] i think so that Xchat can't control [10:20] !How do i turn off all power-saving in ubuntu 9.04? [10:20] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [10:20] godstar: think he said 6 on 1 [10:20] jakerue: you'll need to apt-get update first [10:20] miron7 [10:20] kisuke, nope, 6 on 2. [10:20] puting: cant control what [10:21] My recommendation is: boot to live cd, copy files from bad HDD to good HDD and do a clean install on bad HDD.

The problem is, that the iso file is a little bit larger than the capacity of my disk. How could I solve it? I tried DVD95, but it crashes when builds up the new iso file.

[10:21] don't [10:21] interface [10:22] i want [10:22] ursus: maye its a dual layer image, some images are bigger than the disks.

Note that my sda5is my working partition that I need to get working....sda1 is an old partition [10:23] dz [10:23] godstar, I'll check it, thank you [10:23] ok [10:23] thanks [10:23] ursus: it'll be fine [10:23] ursus: anytime.

[10:25] kisuke: I think he said that the cursor just blinks. [10:25] godstar, are you sure, that it is calles infrarecord? There isn't such a project on sourceforge... [10:25] kisuke, Yup, right after that the underscore blinks. After I make my selection, that is [10:25] kisuke: no grub prompt, no recovery console. [10:25] ursus: one sec [10:25] I get a grub prompt, it just doesn't actually do anything [10:25] er [10:25] i know had a simialr problem maybe grub not in mbr [10:26] ursus: http://infrarecorder.org/ [10:26] I get a grub prompt, and I can chose an option. It goes to boot the option and it just blinks the underscroe [10:26] ursus: forgot the 'er'. [10:26] godstar, ok, thanks [10:26] nvm [10:26] ursus: you are welcome. [10:26] When will latest GNOME be available? [10:27] jakerue: so sda5 is visible and mountable from the Places menu on the Live CD? [10:28] godstar, it is an application for windows, isn't it..?

[10:31] kisuke: fsck? [10:32] jakerue: ah there you have it. The fstab still thinks your sda5 is an ntfs partition.... sda1, too. you need to setup a new fstab to reflecz the changes you did with gprted [10:32] !fsck | kisuke [10:32] kisuke: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot [10:32] thanks firecrotch [10:32] miron721: try fsck [10:33] !fsck > miron721 [10:33] miron721, please see my private message [10:33] kisuke: I think his install went bad, maybe grub. [10:33] godstar, me too. But the problem isn't with my burner program! I have an iso file, and I would like to burn it to a disk, but this iso file is too big. It should be compressed or some language removed from the dvd, and it would be fine. I'm searching for a program, which can solve this. [10:33] hi everybody [10:33] godstar: maybe might be bad dismount [10:33] i am unable to share files between ubuntu 8.10 and vista over wireless. Also unable to share internet connection. also cannot ping each other. please help [10:34] ursus: you can mount the ISO, delete the files you do not want and repackage the ISO. [10:34] godstar: try the easier fix first if that don't work thry the next worse thing [10:34] jakerue: so you have 2 contradicting entries fo what is now sda5. one bey /dev/ and one by UUID. [10:34] ursus: then burn smaller ISO to dvd. [10:34] stefg: how's this fix ? http://paste.ubuntu.com/ [10:35] i tried to get solution in forums but it was confusing [10:35] stefg: how's this fix ? http://paste.ubuntu.com/282858/ [10:35] jakerue: that link is empty [10:35] Have been having "Details - 1: Server ping error: IDL:omg.org/CORBA/COMM_FAILURE:1.0" errors, anyone know how to get rid of them? [10:35] godstar, but do you think, is it enough simply delete some files? Then the menu should be edited as well, and maybe there are some files, which I can't edit... [10:35] jakerue: nah ... that's not working. [10:35] i think this is a common problem [10:36] can anyone help me? [10:36] stefg: the link ..or my fix? [10:36] !anyone | nikhil [10:36] nikhil: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?

Also unable to share internet connection. also cannot ping each other. please help [10:37] the modem in my PowerBook G4 (400mhz titanium) isnt showing up in 9.04 [10:37] jakerue: your 'non-fix'. that fstab is so hopelessly confused that i'll suggest to rename it to something like fstab.bad and start over with writing a new one [10:37] stefg: How about this? http://paste.ubuntu.com/282859/ [10:37] kisuke, "The superblock could not be read" etc. I think that might be because the filesystem is actually ext3 [10:37] stefg: OK [10:38] All right, I have a big problem here. My server goes down every now and then, every couple of minutes, and it's back up after a few minutes. The connection (IRC) still works, if I SSH into it, it works, but sometimes it's impossible to connect. [10:38] Here's my dmesg http://pastie.org/637840 [10:38] miron721: did you set it as EXT3? [10:38] Any suggestions on what might be wrong? [10:38] jakerue: so the first thing you need is the output of 'sudo blkid' [10:38] Tried fsck -t ext3 /media/disk-1, gave the same error. I'm trying other things, like order of the commands/capitalization [10:39] stefg: Here we are http://paste.ubuntu.com/282861/ [10:39] Ok, worked with caps. Gave me error 2.

Also unable to share internet connection. also cannot ping each other. please help [10:39] i tried to get solution in forums but it was confusing [10:39] System should be rebooted? Does that just mean unmount it, or what? [10:39] jakerue: ok... what's on sda1 ? and BTW how much ram do have in that machine? [10:40] miron721 if that came from you ubuntu partition than it is bad and you will need to reinstall [10:40] nikhil, your question is too broad and unspecific. Really hard to help you there. [10:40] miron721: see man fsck [10:40] frogzoo restart firefox [10:41] kisuke: thx, will do [10:41] stefg: 1Gig...sda1 is nothing. I had issues before trying to copy and move partitions....it is a mess I know. I pretty much just want my home partition and a data store for files. I used to have a dual boot but I don't need it any more b/c using VM when necessary [10:41] kisuke, that's where I got "System should be rebooted", but not sure what that means. So is the disk ok, and a simple reinstall will fix this? [10:42] miron721: try rebooting it probaly fixed an error or two === Gav- is now known as G_A_C [10:42] kisuke, Would it really do anything? I thought fsck just checked, didn't actually change anything [10:42] Keeping in mind this is a live cd [10:42] anyone know why I'm unable to type anything into Karmic's 'Who Are You?' setup screen in Virtual PC? [10:42] jakerue: would be a good opportunity to clean up the mess... so sda1 can basically be emptied? how large is it? 50 Gigs? === G_A_C is now known as G_A_C_ === G_A_C_ is now known as G_A_C [10:43] stefg: yup, sda1 can die....52.4 Gigs [10:44] i have ubuntu 8.10 installed on my desktop which has the internet connection. i have vista installed on my laptop. both machines are assigned automatic ip addresses. i have samba installed in ubuntu. i have shared folders in both vista and ubuntu but unable to see both is other computer. i have a wireless router.

[10:45] nikhil, can you ping the wirelss router from each computer? Are both in the same subnet? [10:45] i cannot share folders between them.

Too much info.

[10:57] miron721: if you have a separate HDD (such as a 3rd one) you may want to consider installing Ubuntu on it, so you can back up your HDDs accordingly then format away and do another install on the drive of choice. [10:57] er, too much space [10:57] so what do I do? [10:57] miron721: what? [10:57] prospire: bzip is just a compressor. you want to use tar to archive the file too [10:57] hi [10:58] h [10:58] kisuke, reinstalling ubuntu to the same partition in case it was just a messed up installation [10:58] prospire: there is not file "inside" bz2. it *is* the file, just compressed. [10:58] miron721: let us know how it turns out. [10:58] do you know web server install? [10:58] you said to much space? [10:58] prospire: i don't know a way around that without decompressing the file. [10:58] jakerue: now you need to move over everything that is on sda5 *except the /home -dir* to sda1. so first make a mountpoint 'sudo mkdir /media/sda1' and mount the newly formatted drive there with sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/sda1 [10:58] Chousuke: oh [10:58] no* [10:58] prospire: i just tried it [10:59] prospire: doesnt rename file inside [10:59] kisuke, Got 420 gigs of data on one disk, and the other disk is 350 gb. Too much data, no space rather [10:59] prospire: so just tar it up first and then compress the tar file. [10:59] indus: yes it does [10:59] its happening here [10:59] jakerue: don't start to copy yet [10:59] Sorry about that, 3 am, not thinking properly [10:59] miron721: ow [10:59] Does anyone know how I can enforce the larger DPI ( I set it to 120 instead of 96 ) on X apps I started over SSH X11 Forwarding ? The DPI set on my XDM works great, but those menus are just way to small on the apps I start via SSH ... [10:59] prospire: tar keeps information about the original filename and such info [10:59] ok [10:59] prospire: i did mv file1.tar.bz1 file2.tar.bz2 [10:59] stefg: ok I created the dir and mounted [10:59] prospire: the new one still has file1 inside [10:59] miron721: good luck i hope you get it working [10:59] indus: its tar.bz2 [11:00] I was talking about just .bz2 [11:00] by the way, whats tar.bz2? [11:00] prospire: doesnt matter [11:00] jakerue: now get a privileged nautilus with gksudo nautilus [11:00] prospire: ok ill try that too wait [11:00] prospire: .tar.bz2 is a tar file compressed with bz2 [11:00] Chousuke: so you mean to say bzip2 is no archiver like zip or tar. right? [11:00] prospire: yes. [11:00] it's just a compressor [11:00] it is just a compressor like gzip, am I right? [11:00] that's why it's usually combined with tar === William is now known as Guest52684 [11:01] stefg: ok I got it [11:01] prospire: u r correct [11:01] aah, hmm [11:01] my order in shipit doesn't arrived... [11:01] i have problem killing an app, any help? [11:01] kisuke, Thanks. I really hope I get it working. A netbook is fine for checking email, but it's not anything to do intensive stuff on. [11:01] I think I have reached a nice conclusion [11:01] lol, thanks all [11:01] i don't have name [11:01] prospire: what conclusion [11:01] indus: lol, nothing, thanks by the way [11:01] prospire: the tar utility accepts the j switch to compress with bzip2 [11:02] jakerue: in this root-nautilus navigate to your sda5 dir and select all dirs and files *except /home* and 'cut' [11:02] Chousuke: hmm, thanks [11:02] prospire:iam wondering why it renames the file inside [11:02] i just installed jaunty and my fonts are big not normal any clue? [11:02] indus: even I, but I think that's a compressor thing [11:02] probably thts why [11:02] jakerue: the navigate to /media/sda1 and 'paste' ..... will take some time [11:02] indus: bzip2 is not like zip [11:02] prospire: so tar cvjf archive.tar.bz2 files here [11:03] firecrotch: iam talking about mv command renaming file inside the bz2 [11:03] indus: zip is a compressed archive format, akin to .tar.bz2 [11:03] miron721: it probably has a better processor than my desktop [11:03] indus: it doesn't rename the file inside bz2 [11:03] gigasoft: From terminal, type: ps -A and look up the process you want to kill. [11:03] stefg: I can't tell if I am in sda5 but I am in media ... http://www.postimage.org/image.php?v=Ts1fmcLi [11:03] miron721: 800MHz XD [11:03] indus: there is no file "inside" a bz2 [11:03] indus: there is no "inside" because .bz2 is not an archive [11:03] Chousuke: it does, i just tried it [11:03] Chousuke: aah hmm [11:03] indus: it's just data. [11:03] Chousuke: thought so [11:03] and the original filename is not recorded anymore. [11:03] indus: exactly, you got Chousuke? [11:03] gigasoft: Then kill proces id, typE: kill 10203 (for example) [11:04] Chousuke: then which command would allow me to decompress a bzip2 file? [11:04] i just installed jaunty and my fonts are big not normal any clue? [11:04] ya its not an archive, just a name it seems ? [11:04] jakerue: that'S right... everything but /home and lost+found needs to be moved to sda1 [11:04] so renaming it effectively renames the file also? [11:04] propter_hoc, bzip2 -d file [11:04] ops, prospire [11:04] indus: yes, because bunzip2 guesses the filename from the compressed filename [11:04] stefg: OK in progress [11:04] joaopinto: ok, I'll try that [11:04] thanks [11:04] indus: no it doesn't "rename the file inside". When bzip2 decompresses it, it just names the result to whatever the filename was minus the .bz2 extension [11:05] indus: even according to the man page, filename.bz2 will become filename when you do bzip2 -d [11:05] prospire: if it's a tar.bz2, tar xvjf foo.tar.bz2 [11:05] stupid compression standards [11:05] i prefer .zip [11:05] prospire: or you can do bunzip2 or bzip -d foo.tar.bz2 and then extract the resulting tar :) [11:05] sounds good works good, is universal too [11:05] indus: .zip is akin to .tar.bz2 - its a compressed archive [11:05] :) [11:05] prospire: many ways to skin a cat [11:06] indus, please have some respect, just because you are not familiar with standards don't insult them [11:06] lol [11:06] indus: exactly [11:06] please have some respect [11:06] ? for whom [11:06] indus, for the thouands of people which worked on those formats, standards, and related tools [11:06] indus: you from india? [11:06] thousands [11:06] bzip compresses better than just zip though [11:07] including us here, which rely on them [11:07] fine [11:07] hehe [11:07] off topic [11:07] indus: you from india? [11:07] yea [11:07] which city [11:07] ?

[12:35] how can i change default editor? [12:35] iceroot: Ubuntu does not block websites like megaupload by itself. If it is blocked, that is due to your network administrator doing so. No chance to unblock on your side then. [12:35] meTTy: what do you want to download ?

[12:37] meTTy: I would very strongly advise you not to try to install fedora packages on ubuntu [12:37] ikonia: The dependency thing is a known bug. Someone found a workaround this way. [12:37] meTTy: VERY strongly [12:38] JoshDreamland: if a package is compiled with dependencies - nothing can change that, there is no work around [12:38] is there a way to auto signing in -mount my other partition after [12:38] ikonia: I would normally as well, except this is a known workaround. [12:38] JoshDreamland: alien just unpacks it [12:38] :) [12:38] ikonia: He meets the dependencies.

I'm not sure what I need to even search for... login at command line? [13:50] anyone wanna help me with my xorg config, im on such an old computer that its using like a default driver or sumthn, cant get papst 800x600 [13:50] Amaranth: how uncouth. === Painkiller is now known as Guest87434 [13:50] Gekz: You could burn the iso to disc and boot your mac with it then use that [13:51] use that to make the USB stick, I mean [13:51] stunts513, what video card? [13:51] Amaranth: it lacks a dvd drive [13:51] When will 9.10 beta be out? [13:51] stunt: might be old less PnP monitor as well? [13:51] chips and tech f69000 [13:51] Guest87434: 29th oct [13:51] im on a laptop [13:51] Gekz: You have a macbook air? [13:51] Amaranth: evidently [13:51] stunts513, are you sure it will do beyond 800x600? [13:51] yes [13:51] i run windos dual boot [13:52] how do i use sftp to transfer files over to my machine form a remote host... [13:52] stunts513, there may not be a driver for it, what does lspci show for a video card? [13:52] uh lemme check [13:53] im familiar with scp [13:53] hattonr: Or is it the FreeNX? [13:53] wrapster: sftp usr@host and then with all those ftp-commands (man sftp) [13:53] Gekz: So what you really have is a hackintosh on an eeepc [13:53] Gekz: you'll need a different computer to put the iso on a usb stick [13:53] Amaranth: ;) [13:53] VGA compatible controller: Chips and Technologies F69000 HiQVideo (rev 64) [13:53] Amaranth: yeah but i dont want to get up and walk to my desktop [13:53] it's like... 3 metres away :< [13:54] stunts513: I'll be surprised if you get vesa working with that [13:54] stunts513: You're certainly not going to get any 2D or 3D acceleration [13:54] dangit. I can't figure out how to switch users without logging out [13:54] hrab: click on your name in the top right and it should have a list of users [13:55] hrab: clicking on one of those doesn't log you out [13:55] The only one I see is gest session. [13:55] guest session rather. [13:56] yo yo yo [13:57] i know [13:57] but this is rediculous [13:57] i cant get over 800x600 and it doesnt stretch [13:57] sftp>put something_solaris-i386.deb . [13:57] File "something.deb" not found. ... but i am in that remote machine... how is it possible.. the ftp man page lists put to be used... [13:58] stunts513: That's the best you're going to get, there is no driver for that hardware [13:58] stunts513: I haven't even heard of any hardware from those guys since 1998 or so [13:58] i cant manually add lines to the xorg though? [13:58] wrapster: does something.... exist in lpwd? [13:58] stunts513: What does your xorg log say? [13:58] the file or a log? [13:58] llutz: yes [13:59] stunts513: No, you're using the vesa driver so it is limited to vesa standard resolutions (up to 1024x768, no widescreen) [13:59] it lists out my local dir from where i ran the sftp command [13:59] stunts513, sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.old [13:59] stunts513: I've had situations where the auto-probed monitor values were very "conservative" in terms of horiz and vert speeds; putting in a device line to tell it "oh, you can go faster/slower" has often gotten me up to full native resolution. [13:59] Zzeiss: But he has no driver for his video card [13:59] stunts513, gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [14:00] AH. well that is kinda convoluted, but It works. Anyone tell me why how to get my xfce session moved over to f8 from f10? [14:00] Amaranth: Actually, this was using the VESA mode, which works amazingly well for what it is. [14:00] Halitech: how can i create an extended partition then ? since i have primary and logical option only in this tool ? [14:00] Zzeiss: I haven't seen vesa get a widescreen resolution :P [14:00] stunts513: Does your xorg.conf have a 'Section "Monitor"' block in it? [14:00] i no it does [14:00] u be on later, cause i gotta goto school? [14:01] cristi_an, logical and extended are the same thing, just different names [14:01] Amaranth: I'm looking at it right now. Macbook Pro, running full 1280x800 native. With VESA driver, as the binary blob driver does not work on an MBP as far as I can tell. [14:01] Zzeiss: Even then I'm guessing he has some weird laptop so running a desktop without any kind of acceleration is hell on the battery [14:01] stunts513: Probably. Go. Learn. Consume. Marry and reproduce. [14:01] only time i ever get decent tecch support is in morning, and rthen i have togoto school so yea.. [14:01] lol [14:01] k [14:01] l8r [14:02] Hey guys, having trouble changing permissions for a load of files (from cli). I ran the command chmod -R 775, but this doesn't seem to have propogated to all my files (I do own all of them) [14:02] have I missed something out? [14:02] llutz: ok what i had to use was reget.. [14:02] Amaranth: Yeah. But somewhat weak battery life beats the heck out of being stuck in Windows. :) [14:02] Zzeiss: Your MBP won't run with the 185 driver? [14:02] but sftp says invalid command if i use that. [14:02] grouse: you need to specify the target folder [14:03] Amaranth: Nope. It crashes it hard. Yes, I've tried; I want compiz. But no joy. [14:03] can anyone point me to where the application launchers are? I want to subscribe a feed to mozilla thunderbird but i dont know where to point the RSS to... [14:03] grouse, do you really want 5 in the everybody group? [14:03] Zzeiss: hmm, try again with karmic? :) beta out today [14:03] actionparsnip!, thanks - I knew it was something simple [14:03] Zzeiss: I'm glad someone actually wants compiz. Usually people are telling me why they turned it off :P [14:03] Amaranth: Karmic? Nice idea, but this machine is "production". [14:04] Amaranth: I'm an eye-candy diabetic. :) [14:04] anyone able to locate the application launchers on the filesystem for me? im having trouble [14:04] Besides, I would much prefer to not run closed source. I will make exceptions for things like the WiFi card, where frakking with the blob can cause major interference with other folks. [14:05] Zzeiss: Should have gotten a different laptop then :P [14:05] Zzeiss: blobtastic, that one is [14:05] Amaranth: That's why I hang out on Nouveau and try to help there, to get rid of the binary blob. Sadly, I am (*so*) far behind those guys that the most I can offer is encouragement. [14:05] This page http://start.ubuntu.com/9.04/ is not rendered ok in FF (encoding?) on my laptop ... can I fix this? When I disable cache the page is ok. [14:05] Zzeiss: heh, me too [14:05] anyone able to help me find stuff on the ubuntu filesystem quick? [14:06] ngnp: that would mean your cache is bad, clear it out [14:06] drew212: find what? [14:06] * ngnp trying [14:06] im trying to point an RSS to thunderbird, it says choose application, but i dont know where thunderbird is located... or any applications for that matter [14:06] drew212: oh, they're all in /usr/bin/ [14:07] drew212, locate thunderbird [14:07] drew212, could be /usr/bin or /bin [14:07] Amaranth: tnx ... it's fixed :) [14:07] drew212: try: which thunderbord [14:07] drew212, you can do that for every program [14:07] drew212: you'll most likely find its /usr/bin/thunderbird [14:08] ActionParsnip1: i click subscribe now, but it wont work...

[14:55] wilbefast, okay and your xorg.conf is nearly empty as original? [14:55] cheslyn: usually, but kernels are a special case and require a reboot.

[15:35] and you are suggesting to change a file which specific to zsh, not bash [15:35] joaopinto: I don't understand what you're trying to say [15:35] can someone explain why I wouldn't want this ? === john is now known as DeadmanIncJS [15:35] Can anyone help with me setting a local Samba share.

[15:37] brishu: I am uncertain if you can expand a WUBI, maybe a remove/re-install and select a larger slice or partition. [15:37] LjL, a valid point [15:37] damocles: thanks alot i really appreciate it [15:37] foey: In [global], try adding: guest account = nobody \n map to guest = bad user [15:37] help eople [15:37] help need [15:37] :) [15:37] ubox: ive accepted certificate still wont connect though [15:37] anyone know a way to do the mouse click between the time interval?

[15:39] Whitor: you're welcome [15:39] jonaskoelker i don't talk about my own vpn, i need to connect to swissvpn, it should be more esay than create one :) [15:39] jonaskoelker, I'm going to manually use nohup for now [15:39] i remember having some trouble with it the first time myself, but this time it works after i accepted the cert [15:39] Whitor: if that suits you, cool :) [15:39] how can i delete all the gnome pannels?

[15:51] ^_^ [15:52] simplifier: yes, it is a window manager. like metacity which is the defualt for gnome. enlightenment can be used instead. i believe it is http://www.enlightenment.org [15:52] <_lover_> ok i try it but i know there is an another problem waiting for me let see what happen next !

[16:48] it contains a lot of features [16:48] yes [16:49] tavelram: I'd suggest to make a custom apt.conf file which specifies all install dirs to be under your home dir, then call apt-get with the --config-file option.

[17:31] joaopinto: interesting, is chroot-ing similar to running vm's http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chroot [17:31] tongueroo, well, kind of,, it is just virtualized in the filesystem structure sense [17:31] I have vpnc and the Network Manager vpnc plugin installed and can successfully connect to my VPN, but cannot reach the outside Internet when I'm connected.

[17:52] Two4: I install pulseaudio from source, and it didn't come with an uninstall script =P [17:52] ubunoob: In the olden Ubuntu days would have to use a Live CD to sort that out, but not for the past few or so releases since recovery mode [17:52] Two4: but alsa was still working after that for about 2-3 months [17:53] flucksbawks: have you checked lsmod that all your (alsa) kernel modules are loaded?

[17:53] euxneks: I tried that, no target to uninstall [17:53] d'oh [17:53] LobbyZ: yes and no [17:53] flucksbawks: usually a make install can be undone with a make uninstall [17:53] lizzzy: are you certain the front speaker ports actually work>?

Works perfectly on windoze. [17:54] !detials | souler [17:54] I installed, then it worked perfectly at first. After I restarted my computer the craphics gone horribly wrong... as in back to the same was as I installed ubuntu. [17:55] !details | souler [17:55] souler: 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 ..." [17:55] ubottu, I was typing out. [17:55] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [17:55] fccf: hmm odd I spelt it wrong for a second time [17:55] flucksbawks: awww, great.... now you can only do a make install to some temporary dir only to see what went where and delete file by file... [17:55] souler: "gksudo nvidia-settings" then save output to xorg.conf [17:56] I think its a intel hda playback issue? [17:56] lizzzy: try opening up the sound properties [17:56] ok [17:56] stefg: lol yeah... afraid of that, but pulseaudio isn't really my problem.. its that alsa seems to not be configured correctly anymore [17:56] lizzzy: you may have something muted that controls the front jack [17:56] stefg: because alsa was still running fine, even when pulse couldn't connect [17:56] euxneks: Not really... [17:56] stefg: it just recently stopped working, and for some reason connects to oss, but plays no sound [17:56] souler: You messaged a bot :) [17:57] euxneks: Everything is unmuted. [17:57] Hey it\s my first time here [17:57] and my keyboard also got messed up for no reason [17:57] >.< [17:57] And how do I save it as an output from there_ [17:57] lizzzy: Some people get sound issues in Ubuntu [17:58] flucksbawks: I am thinking that an update may have occurred that broke something, perhaps recompiling pulse under the new config might fix things [17:58] All I see is HELP button and QUIT [17:58] fccf: but how would pulse work correctly at all, if alsa isnt? pulse runs off of alsa [17:58] fccf: doesn't it? [17:58] flucksbawks: you said that is a lean HTPC install ? it might be more time-efficient just to backup the few important configs and reinstall instead of tracking and cleaning the mess [17:58] hi all [17:58] o hai [17:59] flucksbawks: I actually agree with stefg on this one [17:59] stefg: well, its an HTPC that is also a seedbox with a heavily invested userbase =P [17:59] hello, can anybody help me with a kernel panic i get on an acer aspire one, i executed dmesg, and i found http://pastebin.mozilla.org/673884 [17:59] stefg: its a server, that also happens to have output to a TV =P [17:59] I have strange sound problem. Sound goes well, but when I use my HDD (copying files, moving them) the sound starts waving. Can anyone suggest something? [18:00] euxneks how do I save it as what you asked_ [18:01] anyone? [18:01] Hmm.. Ok so, when i test the playback using my headphones, it doesn't work. The most interesting thing is if I plug it into my microphone slot, I can use it as headphones (that is I can hear the audio!) [18:01] i what help so i cann config to 1024x768 [18:01] flucksbawks: a server-server or some low power home server? [18:01] lizzzy: oh [18:02] lizzzy: I guess for whatever reason the hardware isn't being detected properly [18:02] So [18:02] >.< [18:02] sebsebseb: Yeah. That's prolly right. But, is there a solution? [18:02] lizzzy: this might be useful and then again it might be useless [18:02] fccf: Sorry for the really delayed response, had to go do some stuff. I found what you were talking about for SCIM, and I'll reboot and see if that brings the icon back. But, I can't find Network Monitor-- for add to panel there is only a Modem Monitor for dial-up.

[18:05] souler: the ubottu line, I was jk tho [18:05] i dont know how to set sreen to 1024x768 [18:05] huh_ [18:05] sint: yes install 9.10 [18:05] x.x [18:05] flucksbawks: in server think you never try do give more than one dedicated job to a machine. you think in terms of appliances: Mail-appliance here, seedbox-appliance there, home-entertainmaint appliance over there [18:05] I need my drivers fixed. . . [18:05] sint: it's released on October 29th [18:05] or just graphics [18:05] sint: karmic is pretty stable atm, I use it on my laptop [18:05] i runing ubuntu 9 [18:05] sebsebseb: where to download? [18:05] sint: don't get it early [18:06] sebsebseb: 9.10, you mean? :o [18:06] stefg: yeah, I know. thats why its just fluxbox and mplayer =P [18:06] but i dont have the dvd [18:06] sebsebseb: ?? [18:06] geos64: 9.04 , or the prereleased 9.10? there is a big difference [18:06] flucksbawks: it's being alright for me as well, but you shoudn't recommend people get it early, since there can still be certain problems [18:06] sebsebseb: first you say "install it" and then "dont" ? [18:06] :D [18:06] sint: wait for the final before doing 9.10 that's what I am saying [18:07] I have strange sound problem. Sound goes well, but when I use my HDD (copying files, moving them) the sound starts waving. Can anyone suggest something? [18:07] 9.04 [18:07] I'll be back, going to reboot and see if SCIM comes back... [18:07] is there a way I can tell nautilus to not try to mount my sony phone? I've turned the options off in its preferences.. do I need to restart gnome? [18:07] flucksbawks: but now you see where non-existant isolation leads to [18:07] sint: your other option would be to install 9.04 and run the upgrade next month which is easyer than reinstalling [18:08] my wife's Ubuntu box is infected with something called 'malware-stop.org'. google has nothing. does anyone know what this is? [18:08] fccf: next months is November :D it's the 1st of October today [18:08] stefg: stefg well, thats not the problem.. I shouldn't have tried to compile pulseaudio from src just for projectM... lol [18:08] what and how do i stall it [18:08] stefg: I know where I went wrong, I just don't know how to fix it [18:08] mcchris: infected how? [18:08] fccf: the 2nd in some parts of the world also [18:08] fccf: ya, but i never got an upgrade run perfectly. so i would install 9.04 and have it run forever. my friend is not the geek type of person and just needs a pc for internet [18:09] sebsebseb: yeah, but the ubuntu servers are going to be slammed until at least the first of november [18:09] fccf: yeah I was just thinking about that as well [18:09] jrib, firefox hijacked, won't allow loading of any other web pages. [18:09] sint: I see [18:09] mcchris: easiest way is probably to just create a new profile [18:09] hello .. i want to sort a 1.5 text file.. i tried sort -u unsorted.txt > sorted.txt but i don't think is ever going to complete .. is there any other way ? [18:09] sint: no you don't do 9.04 for ages, since only 18 months of support on the desktop, same thing for 9.10 [18:09] Hm, apparently the update manager isn't telling when updates are available. Oh joy. D< [18:09] mcchris: isn't restarting firefox enough? [18:10] flucksbawks: if that's a reasonably powerful machine i'd use xen or kvm on it and have separate instances for the htpc and for the seedbox part (and a third for a firewall appliance like ipcop or endian) [18:10] !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [18:10] sint: 10.04 is the next LTS [18:10] jrib wondering if system files might be compromised [18:10] mcchris: her user doesn't have access to system files [18:10] mcchris: unless she has sudo access and is running firefox with sudo [18:11] jrib, shouldn't be. she's a noob. [18:11] mcchris, use noscript from now on too.. and no visiting of dubious sites [18:11] jrib, so you suspect it's only FF then? [18:11] mcchris: yeah [18:11] sebsebseb: ya, i know. i just meant that i don't want to maintain to much on friends computers [18:11] stefg: its not that reasonably powerful >.< the fact is when I said HTPC, I really meant it has fluxbox and mplayer. Under no circumstances should that EVER interfere with the server end of it. However, ignorantly compiling things from source will [18:11] sint: put 9.10 on :) wait for it, nice default Ext4 :) fast file system. then an upgrade to 10.04 the next LTS, should go alright. and that has three years of support on the desktop [18:11] stefg: the server has never even hiccupped over the past 2 years [18:12] what about datarecovery in ext4? [18:12] sint: http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/ [18:13] sint: plus they might have hardware which isn't good with 9.04 [18:13] Padhu: I guess like with Ext3 [18:13] how do you change your mac address in ubuntu [18:13] how cann i set this up [18:13] flucksbawks: that were more philosophical considerations... but to fix the failed pulseaudio build and debug alsa i'm afraid you'll have to read a lot of documentation [18:13] ciao ragazzi [18:14] stefg: yeah, i was afraid of that. was just hoping that someone here had fixed the same issue lol [18:14] Restart time. >: [18:14] geos64: we cannot help you until we know what kind of hardware you have - [18:14] HELP ME [18:14] lizzzy: Any luck? [18:14] stefg: but yeah, my users don't pay for their service, so frankly if I accidently spilled rum inside the server 10 minutes from now [18:14] sint, box, sebsebseb: 9.10 is still beta, its not ready for prime time. Also, the iso tracker on the qa site should not be used in place of the official beta announcement, those may be buggy cd images.

[18:46] <[manas]> need help whit installing flash player for mozila i was trying so many totorial so i think i mix up everything how i can delete all of them and maybe some one can give me some totorial [18:46] mlissner, they are both just frontends for the gpg command line utility. Enigmail isn't as well supported though. [18:46] LogicalDash: I see. So if I create a certificate using Enigmail, it should automatically show up in Seahorse? [18:46] [manas], install flash from synaptic [18:46] mlissner, it *should*, yeah [18:47] <[manas]> thiebaude, synaptic? [18:47] !synaptic [18:47] synaptic is Ubuntu's Graphical Package Manager.

[18:50] MaskedDriver, i have the same problem ( slow firefox with flash bug ) on a laptop with intel x3100. ( the compiz was ok ) [18:50] mlissner, we are now beyond my expertise, sorry [18:50] LogicalDash: 'fraid of that. [18:50] brutus: ntfsprogs is not a program ... it is a bunch of progs . one of which is fsck.ntfs [18:51] IonutB, *shrugs* idk sorry dude(or dudette) [18:51] hello, excuse me but i have the same problem i told yesterday. i have an script that mounts a shared network directory but cannot mount because konsola sais that must be root to mount. But i dont understand because if i mount using dolphin i have not problems, http://pastebin.com/d32befe57 , any ideas? [18:51] hello, i am back and trying to get my grub to work. i have used the qksudo gedit command with menu.lst and it DOESN'T work for my situation because i have a menu before this menu in menu.lst. i want this other menu to go away and cannot get it to work. any ideas?

[18:54] ok, dunno where to go from there tho [18:55] has anyone ever encountered a boot menu before the one listed in menu.lst? how can i get rid of it or influence the selection order? [18:56] LogicalDash: Well, at least there's a bug about it: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/seahorse/+bug/228876 [18:56] the best compression so far has been with gzip [18:56] tar czf beat tar cjf [18:57] `purplefool: are you dual booting with other OS like windows?

[18:58] i am having trouble setting up internet connection sharing in ubuntu. are there any applications that make this any easier? [18:58] purplefool: which "first" menu are you talking about then? [18:58] brutus: I think what you actually need to boot into windows and have windows run chkdsk /f on the drive ... If windows improperly shutdown ntfs-3g will not mount it [18:59] yonderboy, why would you try to archive an archive? [18:59] Mka, that is just it. i have found no documentation for it. it is a simple 2-choice menu with winxp media edition first and then ubuntu. i want the order reversed and cannot seem to find anyone with the same menu. [18:59] so anyone know awhy my network can't discover my computers rtunning ubuntu? [19:00] Mka, cause I told him to lol [19:00] fccf, i get a 'disk read error' when I try to boot into windows.. [19:00] Mka, yonderboy it appears sarcasm is lost over the IRCness [19:00] brutus: windows recovery console [19:00] brutus use safe mode [19:01] hi [19:01] are there any applications for ubuntu that help you set up internet connection sharing? [19:01] fccf, I should probably add that to my grub.

[19:04] purplefool, yes 2 dashes ftw [19:04] purplefool: you have to figure out whether your ubuntu is on "sda" "hda" "hdb" "sdb" or what [19:04] figures...thanks anyway [19:05] purplefool: yes "--recheck" [19:06] it says that the grub/stage1 was not read correctly...is that bad? [19:06] purplefool: yes that is bad [19:06] brutus, well then i'm not sure what to do. sorry. [19:07] you see, those are the kinds of things that make a thursday evening bad...would just like to hear 'oh no, everything is just plain huncky-dory!' === mirco_ is now known as mirco [19:07] purplefool: purplefool: not leaving anymore before this is done. type "rdev" on terminal and tell me what you see [19:07] Huston, np, thanks [19:08] hello, excuse me but i have the same problem i told yesterday. i have an script that mounts a shared network directory but cannot mount because konsola sais that must be root to mount. But i dont understand because if i mount using dolphin i have not problems, http://pastebin.com/d32befe57 , any ideas? [19:08] is there a way to make archive files automatically extract instead of opening in the archive manager? [19:08] Mka, /dev/loop0 but the 0 has a dot in the middle... [19:09] purplefool: that means it's a zero [19:09] Mka, oh, i see that my computer just doesn't print it correctly when i type...sorry [19:09] Is it normal for the system to hang/freeze a bit when it has a mount pointed to a disconnected CIFS share? [19:10] purplefool: I like your description, LOL. now type "ls /" and copy and paste on http://paste.ubuntu.com [19:10] if i have ubuntu hardy installed such that /root/ is on one partition and /home/ is on another... and i want to move to jaunty... i was thinking of: 1) booting from jaunty live cd; 2) blowing away the /root/ partition, and reformat it. 3) use the existing /home/ partition in the new installation. does this sound reasonable? [19:10] In other words, I created a share on a CIFS server, but if I power-off or disconnect the server, Ubuntu, openSUSE, etc, start freezing up when opening Nautilus or accessing the /mnt directory with a terminal. [19:11] purplefool: it seems as there is something wrong with your system, I am not sure whats up [19:11] purplefool: are you using a live CD? [19:11] kansan, technically that should work. Unless you have specific/customer files and scripts in your / partition right now. [19:11] kansan: you could if you use a different username.. if not you'll need to rename the /home/username to something other than what you're going to use [19:11] Mka, it has been pasted under my name [19:11] torn yes thats common, look for articles that says similar to nfs mounts while remote is disconnected [19:11] *custom [19:11] is there a kde equivalent to gksudo? [19:11] Hi all!! Today i've noticed that if i do a "echo test | mail" it tells me "No mail for current user". So i think i can set it, but how? Tnx [19:11] Mka, no, is a full install. windows was first and then ubuntu [19:12] purplefool: paste the web link here [19:12] what to do next fccf [19:12] which is the ubuntu channel for discussing testing versions? [19:12] n8tuser, I looked around for an option to bypass this problem (for example, just give an error message instead of freezing up) but I found no such thing. [19:12] Mka, http://paste.ubuntu.com/283195/ [19:12] bastidrazor, why cant i use the same /home/username ? [19:12] Does anyone knows a SAFE method to mount fat32 or ntfs partition through terminal [19:12] bastidrazor, and what do i need to do now to make sure i can still have /home/david [19:12] Travis-42: #ubuntu+1 [19:12] torn-> google for nfs mounts, they have similar issues for remote not ready.. they may have similar solutions [19:12] thanks Nattgew [19:12] kansan: for example /home/bob ..if your new install is going to have user bob then you'll need to rename /home/bob to /home/bob-backup .. then you will still have all the data.. [19:13] kansan: the config files need to be for jaunty.. [19:13] sczgilae: http://pastebin.com/m63bdae2e you probably need to mount as root. try http://pastebin.com/m63bdae2e [19:13] n8tuser, I'm checking them out right now. But for the most part (and this is true in the past) all I could find were problems, but no solutions, heh. [19:13] purplefool: now paste me the output of "sudo fdisk -l" [19:13] sczgilae: I don't know what the kde equivalent is to gksudo so you may need to edit it a bit [19:13] bastidrazor, so just "mv /home/david/ /home/david-backup" then later, copy over all the files into the installation created /home/david ? [19:13] kansan: exactly. [19:13] HI, can anyone explain why when I use $ iwconfig wlan0 essid "ihaaaa" enc "xxxxxx" I get the following error?

Never hurts to play it safe. Then when you install Jaunty, you can tell it to use the whatever # partition as /home (without formatting) and you should be good to go. === Guest14631 is now known as Napalm_Penguin [19:14] kansan: not all the files just the files you need. none of the config files for applications since they are different version in jaunty than hardy [19:14] sczgilae: that's a shot in the dark though [19:14] tomaw, i already made a backup ;p [19:14] holas [19:14] len what is enc? [19:14] kansan, if you screw up or accidentally format the partition, you will have a backup copy on another drive/external.

I usually install on my computers which are a step up from that. [19:40] sebsebseb :( [19:40] seil: Windows as the host OS :( I hope this is only for getting a feel for Ubuntu [19:40] seil: how much RAM do you have?

[19:42] nostalgicBadger 1005ha eeepc [19:42] shane2peru: I mean, yeah it'll take a *little* longer, but not that much longer [19:42] seil: would be better probably to put it on for real, but in that case may as well wait until 9.10, released on October 29th. also #vbox can probably help you [19:42] firecrotch: thiebaude well I wasn't here for the whole process, because I had to leave, but came back an hour later, and it was still plugging away, that computer will probably come back to me. :) [19:42] seidos, most netbooks you can upgrade to 2gb [19:42] shane2peru, you using live cd? [19:42] seil - is that the one with the ssd? [19:42] sebsebseb why wait for 9.10? [19:43] thiebaude: I used USB for that one, Jaunty [19:43] oh ok [19:43] Diaz: That's all you get by default with Ubuntu Server Edition. If you want a desktop environment, use the Desktop install CD [19:43] fccf nothing happnd yet [19:43] nostalgicBadger 160gb hd [19:43] thiebaude: netbook comment was probably meant for someone else, but that's cool. 2gb of ram? [19:43] thiebaude: is USB slower? [19:43] seidos, no it was for you [19:43] i wouldn't wait for 9.10. you've got a better chance of the current (stable) release doing what it needs to do. [19:43] shane2peru, i never did the usb install [19:43] i have a problem with installing the python-opengl package. i'm running ubuntu studio 9.04. i run the command sudo apt-get install python-opengl and get the output Compiling /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/OpenGL/raw/GL/__init__.py ...

[19:44] thiebaude: I don't have a netbook [19:44] 512mb [19:44] shane2peru, you'll be ok with ext4 [19:45] seil: Ext4 is default in 9.10 :) it's not in 9.04 it's optional, but not perfectly stable. plus upgrading takes time, or doing another re install. and so on [19:45] seil - i have an aspire one with the 160gb - a lot of the parts are the same. you should be fine removing windows and running Ubuntu as your primary OS. [19:45] seidos, my bad [19:45] thiebaude but it ran fine on the PC when i was using xp [19:45] hi [19:45] ok, thanks for the info thiebaude [19:45] almostAg33k, i hear that alot,lol [19:45] sebsebseb do you think if I use kubuntu, xubuntu, lubuntu it would be better for me? [19:45] shane2peru, np [19:45] thiebaude: nothing against them though, the new ones are nice [19:45] seil: you can have all of those in an Ubuntu install [19:45] GONZALEZR: we typically prefer to give support here in the channel so that others can chime in with their advice [19:45] hey sebsebseb [19:46] seil: well maybe lubuntu isn't in the repo I don't know, I haven't done it [19:46] sebsebseb would I get better performance with the other products? [19:46] seil - doesn't matter. the onyl difference is the GUI. you can install the others and switch between them if you find that GNOME is not for you. [19:46] sebsebseb, seil: you can try out lxde by typing sudo apt-get install lxde [19:46] can somebody help me on sharing internet connection b/w ubuntu and win vista using ethernet cable. [19:46] seidos: hi [19:46] thiebaude: last night i was in the winehq room and some one told me that its my xserver crashing [19:46] also, I would strongly recommend creating a separate partition for /home in case you decide to switch distros. [19:46] seidos, by the end of 2010 netbooks will a larger markey share [19:46] market [19:46] I see. Well why does the installation freeze on 88% when imorting my Windows documents and settings?

[19:47] is here the right place for problems somebody get on karmic? [19:47] seil: well it's a netbook, so the hardware won't be that great, if Virtualbox is still bad, after doing a bit more RAM and Video memory, or whatever #vbox suggest. you could try VMware player or server, and even Microsoft Virtualpc hmm [19:47] thiebaude: do you have a netbook?

I lost connection last time [20:06] I have a question... if I use a 32bit Ubuntu, and make a ext4 filesystem and later down the road, If I change this system to 64bit Ubuntu, will I have problems with the partition or filesystem?

[20:11] Mka: I meant the Filesystem ext4 itself.... [20:11] almostAg33k: pny is a manufacturer that buys licences for video chipsets ... more spacifically what chipset? [20:11] djzn: you are not clear [20:12] is it recommended that I create a ext4 filesystem with 32 bit ubuntu or a 64 bit ubuntu, if later on I will use 64 bit OS only [20:12] feef: i will brb and tell you [20:12] ctmjr: what u recommend? [20:12] djzn: uhmm well [20:12] !undervolting [20:12] Sorry, I don't know anything about undervolting [20:12] djzn: Ext4 isn't perfectly stable in 9.04, because of the kernel they have and that [20:12] djzn: cpu architecture doesn't matter when it comes to the filesystem.

[20:14] Pici: are the video codecs and stuff stable in 64bit [20:14] alkamid: that might be _because_ I don't have (again, to the best of my knowledge) any cpu-frequency-setting app running [20:14] jonaskoelker: no, it doesn't [20:15] alkamid: (i.e. Ubuntu has some kind of infrastructure for setting cpu frequencies that the applet taps into) === DaZ is now known as \\\ [20:15] len_: if your on a laptop and use wireless hot spots i would try wicd, it is a gui, you can install it by sudo apt-get install wicd but it will remove the network-manager [20:15] i am running ubuntustudio 9.04, 64-bit. i run sudo apt-get install python-opengl and get this output http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/283233/ [20:15] alkamid: tried doing so while having your cpu-freq-setting app not running?

[20:41] My system intermittently "cuts off". The screen goes all random noise for a second then the monitors cut out and any sound that is playing at the time repeats over and over like a skipping record. Then there is nothing to do but turn it off. Any idea what this is a sign of? [20:41] subone, test on a non broken system [20:41] \test what? [20:42] anyone: Anyone familiar with a fix to the "[Errno 5] Input/output error" when installing? Tried different disks/drives.. Installing on Ext3 [20:43] my wireless card appears to be claiming to be eth1 for some reason despite it being able to scan and "connect" to wireless networks. huh. [20:43] darthanubis: what are you suggesting I test? it is an intermittent thing and i have no other system with the same specs as this one [20:43] subone, test on known working hardware. ou sound as though you have hardware issues [20:43] darthanubis: meaning when i greate a tunnel from my work towards home how muvh trafic generates the tunnel on the work network [20:43] paul68, only you could tell use that [20:43] darthanubis: when surfing the internet [20:44] paul68, install etherape or wireshark to get a break down of the traffic of certain packets [20:44] darthanubis: what do you mean test? test what? all the other computers in the house work fine... idk what you mean [20:44] The .zsync files at http://releases.ubuntu.com/releases/9.10/ are older than the .iso files and don't have the correct filenames in them. Looks like the release mgr needs to rerun zsyncmake. [20:45] I Just had a brainwave for ubuntu [20:45] subone, your hardware is fubar. Is that easy to understand? [20:45] Something very very weird just happened to me. I was messing with vpnc and all of a sudden I started getting these lines about a module not being loaded and so on. I tried typing who and got command not found, ls the same thing, images and icons in the ubuntu UI were suddenly X's like they were being deleted. I cannot for the life of me figure out what happened unless someone rooted my box and rm -rf /'ed it. Anyone ... [20:45] you know the notify-osd notifications [20:45] ... have any ideas? Running super grub boot disk doesnt even find a kernel. === kb is now known as Guest70504 [20:46] darthanubis: what hardware? anything more specific? [20:46] make them interactive [20:46] darthanubis: I can't access the internet through work, only through ssh tunneling need to be carefull using it cause I could loose my job. thats why I was wondering in what way it's detectable when surfing through the tunnel === mort is now known as Mortice [20:46] !brainstorm | kn100 [20:46] kn100: Post your ideas for ubuntu at http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com and vote for the ones you like!

My sound is working fine in every other app, but flash sound is not going to the correct device. All other sounds are going to my USB sound card, but flash is sending its sound to my internal sound card. Any idea how to change this behaviour? [20:48] "test it on another computer" tells me nothing [20:48] Does anyone know of any 0day jaunty exploits? [20:48] arand, hah go on [20:49] anyone has an idea of speed up firefox using tmpfs [20:49] Hello, I have troubles configuring my keyboard, it seems the "Inser" Key does not work... [20:49] paul68: If I understand your question, the answer is, the same amount of traffic as a normal connection, plus some overhead for the SSH protocol and its encryption. Normal web browsing probably won't be noticed, but large downloads might... [20:49] pradeep: I just prefer using FasterFox addon [20:49] losher: thanks [20:49] genii: but about tmpfs? [20:50] genii: ain't it good [20:50] pradeep: any time you're running out of ram ond not using hd it's going to be much faster of course [20:50] Does anyone know of any 0day jaunty exploits? Does anyone know anything about jaunty security? I think I was rooted today and am trying to figure out more information.

Sometimes they seem to represent keyboard shortcuts invoked by Alt; other times, invoked by Ctrl; other times they seem to do nothing. Yet just about every single item has an underlined character. Could someone point me to docs for this feature? [20:51] te: it's extremely rare to be rooted. Can I ask why you think it's happened... [20:51] genii: hs as in hard disk? yeah just tried that tmpfs tweak [20:51] !info chkrootkit | te [20:51] te: chkrootkit (source: chkrootkit): rootkit detector. In component main, is optional.

My sound is working fine in every other app, but flash sound is not going to the correct device. All other sounds are going to my USB sound card, but flash is sending its sound (through Pulse) to my internal sound card. Any idea how to change this behaviour? [20:52] losher: I wasn't doing anything out of the ordinary really -- I ran sudo vpnc, and then out of nowhere I began to get these error messages about modules not being available or loaded on the command line [20:52] losher: my home directory was empty with ls [20:52] pradeep seems and feels faster [20:52] te: Also: http://www.ubuntu.com/usn [20:52] this is a brand new drive, ive checked the drive and it's fine [20:53] i cant boot into ubuntu to check this out [20:53] because my kernel is gone [20:53] n8tuser: u tried it? [20:53] te: where did vpnc come from? [20:53] Pici: genii, thanks [20:53] losher: the regular source everyone else uses [20:54] te: then it's even more unlikely to contain an exploit.

Are there any terminal games, or um, fun activities, that'll help?

Is it an install script? Maybe something went wrong with it? [20:58] works! thank you. [20:58] losher: that's possible, but man, it couldn't delete my entire fucking home directory?

So how do you plan to proceed...? [21:01] te: I did once a similar boo-boo by using sudo on an install script which first wanted to clean out it's home dir by using / as the start for a recursive rm. Was supposed to be run as the user assigned to it, etc [21:01] dethaddr: checked hardwaredrivers ? [21:02] genii: that strikes me as weird behavior for vpnc, can you verify that's not the case? [21:02] DasEi: what do you mean? [21:02] does anyone know how to get the network manager to show up in the preference area? [21:02] the files it needs to run are in /etc/vpnc/ [21:02] root is required to run vpnc [21:02] err sudo at least [21:02] dethaddr: system > preferences > hardwaredrivers [21:03] DasEi: theres no tab for the above mentiond [21:03] genii: could you take a look at the vpnc script in /etc/vpnc/vpncscript.pl [21:04] te: Perl is not my area of expertise. You might want to ask someone else, or in the perl channel [21:04] te: well it's not going to fix itself. First step is to close any network vulnerabilities, 2nd step is to restore from whatever backups you have... [21:04] losher: this was a fairly fresh install, so the loss of data is not my concern [21:05] what is very concerning is whatever happened to me could potentially happen to someone else [21:05] in addition to the fact that where i work is very security conscious [21:05] im trying to verify this was not an exploit before i escalate the situation though [21:05] err this *was* [21:05] How can I move my taskbar to another monitor? [21:06] hi! i upgraded to 9.10 (don't worry, it works great!) and i noticed it takes a lot longer until the splashscreen appears, compared to 9.04. is that a problem, work in progress, or is that the expected behaviour?

I've had no blue screens [21:15] I would like to ~truely~ disable the firewall.... disable iptables maybe ? [21:15] SGottl7227-> right click and add the app [21:15] sudo ufw disable doesn't seem to do it [21:15] right click ok hold on [21:15] stefg_, well it was just recently deleted, would it be in trash? [21:15] Whitor-> sudo iptables -F [21:15] Hey, i have a nvidia geforce 6200 and i'm running ubuntu jaunty, i've installed recommended hardware drivers (version 180) but i cannot turn on extra desktop effects.. any know why ? [21:15] right click where? [21:16] Whitor: well i know i had similar issues, with my machine being access on the internal network but not the outside one..that was how i tested the ports...also make sure your isp isnt blocking the port on the incoming. [21:16] Petein: got disc hmm [21:16] SGottl7227-> right click at the bar and add to the panel your app [21:16] Lenin_Cat: that's the problem. your package database is gone. that means your system is hosed, that's the single most important file for a debian/ubuntu. get your personal stuff of the disk and do a completely new install [21:16] Petein: yeah with the Windows driver? [21:16] trineox, this is all local that I'm talking about [21:16] Not ISP involved [21:16] Not = no [21:16] what is the addon called that allows you to double click an apps title bar and it slides up? [21:16] OK NT. HODL ON [21:16] sebsebseb: what? i'm into windows now and its fine [21:16] emerald or something? [21:17] uto [21:17] Trizicus, windowshade [21:17] stefg_, but cant I just recompile it?

[21:17] Petein: I was wondering why after putting your issue you put, sorry got disc [21:17] no [21:17] why not? [21:17] i think that's what i wanted [21:17] compiz is a window manager Trizicus [21:17] Lenin_Cat: I think you may have to reinstall from scratch. You could try recreating an empty status file and see if apt-get will let you reinstall packages. The list of installed packages should be in /var/log/dpkg* [21:17] dethaddr: does your card show up ?

While playing openarena i can't get my mouse to go outside the game window. How do you do this? I know it is probably a simple keystroke. [21:17] sebsebseb: i just installed firefox and chatzilla and i closed firefox accidentially [21:18] Lenin_Cat: do you have a backup? [21:18] SGottl7227: try not to type in caps online, because it means shouting [21:18] not of that file [21:18] Trizicus, compiz is responsible for handling the windowshade operation [21:18] if you are running compiz ... [21:18] Lenin_Cat: i mean of the whole system ? [21:18] losher, how do you create a blank file from scratch [21:18] Petein: ok and? your on a live cd? [21:18] stefg_, nay [21:18] Whitor: ok sorry.....sorry for late reply trying to think about your problem. [21:18] Lenin_Cat: reinstall time [21:18] but /home is on a seperate partition [21:18] sebsebseb: now im on windoze [21:18] losher, how do you create a blank file from scratch? [21:18] I have a nvidia geforce 6200 and i'm running ubuntu jaunty, i've installed recommended hardware drivers (version 180) but i cannot turn on extra desktop effects.. anyone know why ? [21:19] I'm starting to become productive again! Well worth the investment. This reminds me of the time I decided to switch to the Dvorak keyboard layout. For a month, I couldn't touch well with either layout. Then I regained my former speed on Dvorak; after another month, I was able to switch reasonably well back to Qwerty, too; then my speed picked up with Dvorak. Same thing with Linux/Ubuntu/Gnome (except the timeframe is a bit longer). [21:19] Whitor: ping doesnt work either way to or from your machine? [21:19] Petein: your in Windows, but you want to configure the wireless in Ubuntu? [21:19] i have a modem pic on top now [21:19] sebsebseb: just to write some things down and try them in a while [21:19] trineox, only to my machine [21:19] Whitor: It is emerald that I wanted [21:19] anyone familiar with RoR? I needed to upgrade to the latest rake, so i did aptitude remove rake, then sudo gem install rake. now running rake doesn't work [21:19] i am not sure where it sits [21:19] Lenin_Cat: sudo touch /var/lib/dpkg/status. Are you sure there's no backup. In my system I have /var/lib/dpkg/status-old ? [21:20] gdoteof: Ruby on Rails ?? [21:20] Petein: well you need to be in the Ubuntu install or on the Live CD, to fix wireless [21:20] petein, yes [21:20] gdoteof: no idea [21:20] losher, ah! yes there is [21:20] thanks [21:20] trineox, do I need to reboot after doing ufw disable ? [21:20] !wireless | Petein [21:20] Petein: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [21:20] sebsebseb: the wireless wasnt found from the live cd either === kn100 is now known as kn100|afk [21:20] sebsebseb: now what [21:20] Whitor: It wouldnt hurt to reboot to refresh the settings [21:20] Lenin_Cat: so you see: backups are the only cure for murphys law :-) [21:21] Hey all!! While playing openarena i can't get my mouse to go outside the game window. How do you do this? I know it is probably a simple keystroke. [21:21] Petein: you find out what wireless you have exactly, and then try and find a driver for it, and if you find one, you try and install it, if there is no luck with any of that, and you have the Windows driver you can try ndiswrapper [21:21] Lenin_Cat: I'd like to know how you managed to delete /var/lib/dpkg/status in the first place... [21:21] Whitor: only thing i am wondering is are you using a router? [21:21] dpkg: parse error, in file `/var/lib/dpkg/available' near line 6284: [21:21] field name `Original' must be followed by colon [21:21] E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2) [21:21] sebsebseb: WPA-PSK [21:21] trineox, nope [21:21] Lenin_Cat: i'd be interested, too [21:21] losher, it was giving me a error saying that file was corrupt [21:21] :P [21:22] Fox3211, openarena grabs your mouse, this is desired - if you could move your mouse outside the window playing would be close to impossible -- simply close openarena if you want your mouse back? [21:22] Lenin_Cat: so you deleted it? [21:22] Petein: wireless chipset or whatever, that's what the native Linux drivers are for [21:22] trineox, the only thing that changed was installing 9.04 .... works fine on the laptop sitting next to me running 8.10 [21:22] i was saying i see a pic of a modem above in the bar [21:22] using the same wireless access point [21:22] Lenin_Cat: then you should look at at your filesystem and your hardware. losing your package database is fatal [21:22] Whitor: well cool that narrows it down for sure [21:22] but now network manager [21:22] Whitor-> sudo iptables -F <-- you've done this? [21:22] sebsebseb: ive read that this driver was included in the kernel from kernel 2.6.34 [21:22] 2.6.24 sorry [21:22] but no [21:23] ZykotickK9: I understand. but i would like to be able to go out and check something. then come back. How can i do that in gnome? [21:23] stefg_, nope, used -old its fine [21:23] sebsebseb: 2.6.24 sorry [21:23] n8tuser, yeah, and I posted the pastebin ^^ [21:23] Fox3211, if alt+tab doesn't do it - I don't know of another way. Good luck. [21:23] n8tuser, http://pastebin.ca/1588287 [21:23] stefg_: actually, hitting ctrl-c at the wrong time can mess up the status file. I've seen it before. Lazy python programmers... [21:23] Petein: ok usaully I don't attempt helping with wireless, other than giving the bot link, since it's not really my area. Nothing under system > administration > hardware drivers for it? [21:23] can someone help me. i am trying to set up a usb modem [21:24] SGottl7227: we can't [21:24] Whitor-> you have rules, learn how they work, it may be blocking your services, [21:24] sebsebseb: are there any drivers to enable usually? [21:24] * alexsander is trying to run 2 ubuntu's 9.04 (one is under vmware) [21:24] maybe i will try that canocil paid support [21:24] patholio: depends on the hardware [21:24] sebsebseb: i never used wireless from a laptop before.im completely lost [21:24] i think it is 54 for a year [21:24] n8tuser, worked fine before... Now I've got to be an iptable expert to use my system ? This seems like a step backward [21:25] Petein: look under that to see if there is a driver, there probably won't be one though [21:25] Whitor-> firewalling is a serious business, you need to do more studying [21:25] alexsander: I run ubuntu inside ubuntu/vmware. It works fine... [21:25] sebsebseb: ok lets assume that it doesnt.what should i do next? [21:25] alt+tab doesn't work :( How do I get control of my mouse back outside of a window in gnome (running openarena)? [21:25] can someone indicate a graphical serial port emulator for ubuntu?

I just want the software to work. Users shouldn't have to be iptables experts to be able to use Apt installed software [21:26] sebsebseb: i dont know where to start... :( [21:27] ufw disable apparently doesn't disable the firewall [21:27] Whitor-> you have additional requirements, i dont know what yours are [21:27] n8tuser: hey couldnt Whitor scan his internal ip to make sure the port is open? [21:27] Petein: reading the wireless documentation that the bot gave is a start, and there are people that come in here that can help you with it properly, but you just got to wait from them, and repeate your issue [21:27] Petein: or you can do a thread about your wireless on the forum [21:27] trineox, good idea, I'm doing an angryipscan from another computer [21:27] sebsebseb: alright [21:27] sebsebseb, its good to see you again [21:28] trineox-> he can if he wants, but having firewall rules may inhibit responses, and goes to the black hole [21:28] Hi, I sshed from my Ubuntu desktop to a CentOS server. when I click F1 in the CentOS setup software the Ubuntu help program start and not the function in the shell. Any idea? [21:28] Yeah... I don't show up [21:28] What the heck does ufw disable do ?

For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) [21:45] abhishek_: use: sudo -s [21:45] DasEi, but it happens with opera too [21:45] ikonia: Yes, the boot only let's you log in as root! [21:45] younder: no it doesn't [21:45] so if you windows login get's boged that is your only option [21:45] younder: and the recovery console will also auto log you in - [21:46] younder: thats very wrong [21:46] U-b-u-n-t-u: your specs ? how much ram all ? [21:46] Das 2 gigs ddr2 pc 4200 [21:46] look I have a boged login, and haven't been able to log into ubuntu for 4 days [21:46] just installed Miro, and it broke all video on my ubuntu. I now removed it, but how can I fix video? I'm getting this error: GStreamer encountered a general stream error [21:46] younder: ok - that's nothing to do with root logins though [21:47] younder: could boot to livecd and chroot, then make a new user [21:47] And it will only let me log in as root which is impossible as I don't have a root password [21:47] younder: can you boot to recovery root console? [21:47] younder: that's nonsense - how do you know it will only let you login as root if you can't login as root ? [21:47] Ok,I'll ask my ? a different way, is possible to"mount /data/var as /var [21:48] It asks me for a root password [21:48] younder: did you set a root password ? [21:48] hey everyone. i just installed gentoo 2008.0 from kubuntu 8.04 live cd. when i boot i get the eth0 : timed out message. i'm using a PPPoE connection and am currently under the live CD. any suggestions? [21:48] I have tried mount --bind but that did not seem to work [21:48] It does not ask me for a login name [21:48] ikonia: no [21:48] younder: that is the only senario recovery mode would ask you for a root password is if you set a personal root password [21:48] !usb [21:48] For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [21:48] zzz2009: you could look at loop back file systems [21:48] zzz2009: no you dont moount a folder to another, you could symlink the folder. [21:48] i am trying to install ktorrent ,,,i have created a directory named software and have unzipped the content of the ktorrent folder...now i don.t know how to proceed with the installation...plz help [21:48] sorry, not true [21:48] younder: yes - very true [21:49] zzz2009: or loop mount (forgot that) [21:49] i tied symlink but I get erros on boot [21:49] abhishek_: that isn't how you install software in ubuntu! See ubottu: [21:49] loop mount ? [21:49] !software > abhishek_ [21:49] abhishek_, please see my private message [21:49] I am sitting with the damn machine infront of me, and I am telling you that what you are saing is bollucks [21:49] anyone?? [21:49] !who | younder [21:49] younder: 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 :) [21:49] plse point me at documentation [21:49] hello i have a question EnvyNG doesnt detect my readon video card ? [21:50] younder: that's all very well. But the only reason the recovery console would prompt you for a password is if you set a password [21:50] younder: I suggest you try booting into single user mode instead [21:50] ikonia: that sounds like a plan, thanks [21:50] I would like to make a video DVD from a lot of smaller video files. What software can handle that? [21:50] newbie: i wouldnt suggest using envy [21:50] U-b-u-n-t-u: do you need it to be less ? you could put their priority down (see man nice), but over a gig for ff is really too much, also you can set down the reload in background of ff, that will save memory, but that amount is really strange, any apps combined? apparmor or something ? [21:51] what should i use [21:51] newbie: what is the output of: lspci | grep -i vga [21:51] zzz2009: you mount block devices, not directories [21:51] zzz2009: can you describe what you are trying to accomplish? [21:51] sorry iif I'm a bit steaming.. [21:52] ?

Whats wrong? [21:53] I have a 1.2tb /data 'partions [21:53] sorry finger trouble [21:53] Quick question. I inherited a kubuntu (which has since had a couple of dist-upgrades) and machine, how easy would it be to convert that to xubuntu instead? Machine has 600MHz CPU and 384Mb memory. [21:54] newbie: its a terminal command, you can copy / paste to the terminal an copy from it too [21:54] Viking667: just install xubuntu-desktop and choose xfce as your window manager at the login window [21:54] Viking667: very easy, [21:54] viking: easier to just install xubuntu [21:54] Viking667: sudo apt-get install xfce4 [21:54] :P [21:54] Possibly what's holding it up the most is that the PCI bus is only 66MHz. [21:54] ah, right. [21:54] sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop i thought [21:54] whats the difference between ubuntu/kubuntu/xubuntu?? [21:54] jrib: he has apps, just wants the desktop which xfce4 will sort nicely [21:54] I'd install crunchbang anyway, viking667 [21:55] ubuntu - gnome -- kubuntu - KDE -- Xubuntu - XFCE [21:55] I have a 1.2tb '/data' partion that i would like to use for /var & /home without using lvm, I want to split /home off so that reinstall etc, will not erase data, and putting /var there gives it room to expand [21:55] Viking667: sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop [21:55] Viking667: lxde is much lighter for low end systems [21:55] ActionParsnip: up to him I guess, but xubuntu provides lighter apps than kde :) [21:55] DasEi: why tyhe whole desktop, why not use the gnome apps and just use the xfce desktop, less bloat [21:55] fbdystang, in using resources, that means: kubuntu > ubuntu > xubuntu > lubuntu (in resources for working) [21:55] Viking667: but for so low specs, I 'd suggest use the minimal-netinstaller of 9.04 , then use a light desktop, like action mentioned or icewm [21:55] jrib: true, just makes a lot of duplicate apps [21:56] DasEi, I dont think so [21:56] trece8: so if I have a nice new rig i should probably run kubuntu instead of ubuntu? [21:56] ActionParsnip here is it ATI Technologies Inc RS690M [Radeon X1200 Series] [21:57] DasEi, I trying to figure it out do you think I could have a bad ram mod? [21:57] fbdystang: depends whether you prefer gnome or kde really... that's subjective... [21:57] hello all. does evolution have an auto-response (vacation etc.) feature? if not, how can i accomplish this? [21:57] fbdystang, I'd go for the lightest distro anyway... it's just a matter of how flashy you'd like it to be.... search screenshots in google, you'll see what I mean [21:58] ActionParsnip: hello [21:58] trece8: I first used linux with KDE and am in love with it [21:58] U-b-u-n-t-u: i have no specific idea, ram can be checked by memtest, other issues look through the files in /var/log (syslog,kernelog, ) and look at dmesg.txt after doing a dmesg > dmesg.txt [21:58] trece8: sorry [21:58] apparle, I use crunchbang and I love it to death... the other extreme isn't it? [21:58] fbdystang: I first used linux with KDE and am in love with it [21:59] !info crunchbang [21:59] Package crunchbang does not exist in jaunty [21:59] trece8: I dunno about crunchbang what is it [21:59] newbie: great let me websearch [21:59] jrib: I have used both kde and gnome. I don't really tell the difference. What are the benefits of each. I do embedded system design. [21:59] bye [22:00] ok thanks [22:00] apparle, fbdystang, take a look http://df.uba.ar/~andres/crunchbang.png [22:00] fbdystang: just use what you like best. KDE tends to be more configurable, GNOME tries to follow a set of guidelines and keep things easy to use [22:00] d1gital, make sure you enable that for any mailing lists so they get a bounce from every email you recieve while your're away [22:01] it's a ubuntu-based distribution first oriented for the Eee... but it rocks, simple and well-thought. Cool simple interface, great keyboard shortcuts, and the dmenu, which rocks [22:01] hi, i am trying to install 9.04 server onto a viglen mpc-l - have jumped a few hoops so far but stuck atm because the partitioner has a blank line where i guess the "partition me" option should be [22:01] jammeh: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ViglenMPC [22:01] jammeh: see "known problems" [22:01] trece8: thats cool. is that kubuntu? with kde? [22:01] no, that's crunchbang, it uses OPENBOX [22:02] crunchbang = <3 [22:02] bucky: lol. its not for my main email; no mailing lists there. this does not help me accomplish the task though. [22:02] anyone tryed beta? [22:02] kde is the other extreme: http://www.petesodyssey.org/files/kde4screenshot11.png [22:02] Does anyone know how I can enforce the larger DPI ( I set it to 120 instead of 96 ) on X apps I started over SSH X11 Forwarding ? The DPI set on my XDM works great, but those menus are just way to small on the apps I start via SSH ... [22:03] fbdystang: http://kde.org/screenshots/ [22:03] just search screenshots and in youtube, but keep in mind: more effects: more resources to use on that effects [22:03] Popey, i don't think it's those issues, i have got past the acpi and pnp bits [22:03] jammeh: no, the pata_cs5535 is the issue where it cant find the disk [22:03] newbie: did you say x1200? [22:03] yep [22:03] jammeh: bug 318805 is what you're seeing [22:03] ATI Technologies Inc RS690M [Radeon X1200 Series] [22:03] ahh, ok [22:03] i will go read more, ta [22:04] trece8: that KDE screen shot is not good at all.............. you should see the latest KDE4.3 [22:04] no problem jammeh, i filed that bug, and you're the second today to ask about it :) [22:04] hi, my netbook has the sound through the headphone but now I want it to go by the front boxes? How to do this,, [22:04] i had thought from http://appleby.is-a-geek.net/mpcl/index.html that if i was installing jaunty i would have been ok :( [22:04] Does anyone know if Gnome-look.org is down? [22:04] jammeh: he links to the bug at the bottom :) [22:05] barqs: seems like it, give it a minute [22:05] newbie: have yuo checked in: System->Hardware drivers [22:05] DasEi: the screenshots you suggest are old................. [22:05] DasEi, [22:05] System Information for wagnix-desktop: CPU: GenuineIntel [22:05] where is that [22:05] so, If i understand right, kubuntu uses kde, and ubuntu uses gnome. and both uses the same resources. is that right? [22:05] Hi! [22:05] fbdystang: yes [22:05] fbdystang: yes [22:06] How to switch headphone sound to the front speakers of my netbook? [22:06] popey: but also says the Jaunty kernel has all the required drivers? [22:06] apparle, ok... but as I remember that, it has all the things: round corners, big icons, big menu bars, lighting effects, and opacity [22:06] haha, thanks that is very helpful [22:06] I upgraded to 9.10 & the Self-test program says that I have sector-errors. Any way to fix them? [22:06] !9.10 | Umeaboy [22:06] jammeh: the latest one does, but not the one thats on the original jaunty cd [22:06] fbdystang, no, KDE is heavier on resources than Gnome [22:06] Umeaboy: Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 29th, 2009 - Karmic WILL break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [22:06] anyhow, i will move on from that and wonder what my best install option is to work around it?

[22:07] Umeaboy: you should ask in there, that's offtopic for in here [22:07] VCoolio: Thank you. I was curious if it was just me or not lol. [22:08] newbie: in the system -> prefs or system -> administration menu [22:08] Umeaboy: then again if your on about memtest [22:08] trece8: Now there is a lot of transperency and font can be decreased along with icons [22:08] Umeaboy: I guess it's basically the same in all the releases that have had it [22:08] hi [22:08] why did you put an ! in front of everything? does that do something in chat?

It's not a vimperator problem because this does not happen on my debian machine (same version of firefox and vimperator). any ideas? [22:15] rxd: it depends on what else you want on the system.. I'm not really sure about ubuntu, but it should be around 200-300mb [22:15] I have no complaints [22:15] wolvesdread: you will have a more responsive system if you just run the apps you need from terminal [22:15] good evening!

Webcams aren't my area, but there's a program called cheese which might be able to configure yours.

Shouldn't I be able to install LVM manager from the live cd?

[23:57] NineHams: Yeah, but I don't believe the installer knows how to handle it. I might be mistaken though. You could certainly try it. [23:57] Flannel: Yes, I'm going to see if I could get it working [23:57] NineHams: so that it can be *very* simple. can you imagine the confusion it'd induce to ask about a volume management system? the alternate cd is made for more advanced users to do more advanced installs [23:57] NineHams: Let me know if you do!
