[00:25] How do I get the cat command to get more than one file using a wildcard in a bash script?? I want something like this: cat filename_*.txt where files like filename_x.txt filename_y.txt etc will be used by cat. [00:26] Evelina: cat * works fine here [00:29] I want to repair my partition table with gpart, but how can I make sure, the values are correct? [00:31] hi [00:31] hello, malcolm_ [00:32] any one know any good fps games for ubuntu not cube 2 or nexuis [00:33] does any one talk here [00:34] malcolm_: generally, we get so much traffic we can't keep up. [00:34] !games | malcolm_ [00:34] malcolm_: Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php [00:34] malcolm_, wow actually I have run doom on linux [00:34] How do I downgrade my kernel version? 2.6.31 introduced a bug that disabled my mouse. [00:35] jonLappy: You should still have your old kernel lying around in your Grub menu when you boot. [00:35] aaaa [00:35] If I install mdadm, to setup a softraid, how do I distinguish which drive is which if/when I need to replace them? [00:36] jonLappy, yeah it should still be there unless you autoremoved it or you can look here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=261289 [00:36] MenZa: how can I get to the grub menu? I no longer see it when I boot [00:36] Can I say?That I thoroughly hate operating systems originally designed for crap as smart as washing machines.. [00:36] jonLappy: you should have the option to press esc to view it. have a look at your /boot/grub/menu.lst though - be careful when editing, though. [00:36] Evening folks. [00:36] splat_: Not in here, no - that would be offtopic :) [00:36] Evelina: echo filename_*.txt will show you how the shell expansion [00:37] MenZa: nope, I never get that option. [00:37] but it isn't offtopic... [00:37] jonLappy: hmm, there should be an option in /boot/grub/menu.lst to enable it. [00:37] splat_, please take chat to #ubuntu-offtopic [00:37] splat_: Yes, yes it is. This channel is strictly for support, not for sharing opinions. Try #ubuntu-offtopic. [00:37] Hi, I'm using ubuntu server and looking to install pecl_http for php, but, the only thing that I can see on this is sudo pecl install pecl_http which is actually returning a fail due to not finding phpize (which I can't find either [00:37] MenZa, He is trying to start a flame-war, incase you missed it. [00:37] !ot | splat_ [00:37] splat_: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [00:37] MenZa: got it, thank you. I will see how it goes as my last kernel was apparent still 2.6.31 but it was -11 and the newer one was -12 [00:38] can anyone confirm that pidgin and yahoo are not working? or is it just me, I can't connect to yahoo. [00:38] jonLappy: you never mentioned you were on karmic. try #ubuntu+1 - karmic has grub2, which works very differently from grub legacy. [00:38] jonLappy: (.31 is only karmic, iirc.) [00:38] Menza dont feed the trolls [00:38] i_am_null: You need to go to www.pidgin.im and update the PPA keys [00:38] i_am_null: which version of pidg are you using? [00:38] MenZa: oh, I apologize. Wasn't thinking. =\ [00:38] i_am_null: Do you have the newest build of pidg? [00:38] Pidgin 2.5.5 [00:39] jonLappy: Heh, that's ok. Just, /boot/grub/menu.lst doesn't exist in Grub2. Ask the #ubuntu+1 people, they'll know what to do :) [00:39] should be the latest from the repo that I am using [00:39] i_am_null: That's not the newest version of pidgin [00:39] i_am_null.. 2.6.2 is out, and fixes that issue.. [00:39] * Here4TheGear had the same issue [00:39] Upstream fixes.... [00:39] how do i get the latest version? [00:39] pidgin.im [00:40] i_am_null: To update to version 2.6.2 you need to go to www.pidgin.im, copy and past the PPA keys into terminal, then go into the repo and click upgrade [00:40] How do you not get new bugs in? [00:40] ok thank you [00:40] MenZa: mouse still doesn't work. Thanks anyways, moving to #ubuntu+1 [00:40] jonLappy: Good luck! [00:40] any thoughts on how I can figure out what the heck phpize is supposed to be a package of? [00:40] MenZa: thank you [00:41] I noticed that the theme Glossy was removed from Jaunty, I was wondering where I could find a copy of it? [00:41] splat_: you do this thing called 'regression testing': you test the software to see if it has 'regressed' after you patch it. At least, that's the theory.... [00:41] My webcam used to work before, after update, I lost it, AND my USB reverted to 1.2mbit!!! [00:42] splat_: ah, very good, an excellent example of a regression... [00:42] I'm trying to install ndiswrapper, and when I give the make command I get this; http://pastebin.com/m11863134 [00:42] robuntu: Why are you compiling it? [00:42] I reinstalled EVERtyhing, updates came in, and everything got broken again! [00:42] Oh I hope I didn't just do something stupid [00:42] splat_: which os version, btw? [00:42] robuntu: ndiswrapper is in the repositories. [00:42] I just did an update on my computer (karmic) and my mouse stopped working. Looking on line several other people have my issue but I see no fix for it. Anyone have any ideas? === mac9416 is now known as macBBL [00:43] jonLappy, #ubuntu+1 for karmic [00:43] jonLappy, Ask in #ubuntu+1 [00:43] jonLappy: #ubuntu+1 is the only place we can offer Karmic support until it's out. [00:43] ffs, wrong channel focus. sorry! [00:43] hehehe [00:43] menza thanks [00:43] Is there any way to force some shit to not be updated? NO? Dependancies break everything! [00:43] I apologise. :P [00:43] splat_: Language. [00:44] Gee, a word.... You touchy fucks... I'm angry, I wish I coul'd pay someone to fix my problems [00:44] losha: Yes, I did a stupid misstake. You are right, the wildcard will work as expected. [00:45] How do I mass-install fonts in Jaunty? [00:45] Evelina: well, now you know how to debug them, so that's progress... [00:45] I just ran sudo aptitude install dh-make-php :: over a server that's already been configured with LAMP , I hope I didn't just break something.. lol [00:45] CaffeineRush: Filetype? [00:45] MenZa: Various. [00:45] CaffeineRush: /usr/share/fonts/ if you want them system-wide, ~/.fonts for local user fonts. [00:45] MenZa: Not just TT [00:45] alright [00:45] splat_: You can lock the version installed in the package manager === office_ is now known as office [00:46] boondoklife, He was somewhat-trolling, had an actual issue, but was asking for help by insulting everything. [00:46] MenZa: Looks like I have TrueType, ClearType, and OpenType fonts [00:47] That I want to install, anyway [00:47] CaffeineRush: It shouldn't matter. Personally I like to sort them, e.g. .ttf goes into /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ etc. [00:47] bobbob1016: ahh got ya =P gotta love those people [00:47] MenZa: Oh, so I can just dump them into the systemwide font folder? I should note they're already (for the most part) organized [00:47] bobbob1016: sometimes I think anger management classes should be required in school... [00:47] boondoklife, We can kick them from the channel, too bad not in real-life. [00:48] heh [00:48] lets get back on topic please [00:48] Ok time to give this a shot... === pengemis is now known as pengemis|away [00:49] i'm constantly forgetting to type 'sudo' before a lot of commands that need it, is there a trick to get you to remember or to automatically run sudo on commands you're running on files that need sudo access? [00:49] is there a way i can make it so that if i click the top right corner of the touchpad send a right click ??? [00:49] k, i ugraded pidgin and still can't connect to yahoo [00:49] oh my onboard ethernet, have some one solved problem with via-rhine ? [00:49] losha: Yes, echo always output data in Temrinal? [00:50] I noticed that the theme Glossy was removed from Jaunty, I was wondering where I could find a copy of it? [00:50] srfger [00:50] can anyone tell me how to install software on wine? please? [00:50] Just checking, .fon files work in ubuntu right? [00:50] I can ping cn.scs.msg.yahoo.com [00:50] but pidgin just sits there [00:50] Evelina: yes, use it to check out wildcard expansions before you execute the real command, or use it in shell scripts to write stuff to the user so you/they can see what's going on [00:51] a: wine [file] [00:51] In terminal [00:51] a: Wine should also just load exes by default too [00:52] i'm getting an error when I try to load msn messenger [00:52] a: just run the relvant exe. [00:52] infid: The only thing I know is to use aliases. But sudo is there for a reason, I recommend not shortcutting it [00:52] CaffeineRush: I don't think wine should start doing too many things 'by default', and particularly not loading executables.... === DaZ_ is now known as DaZ [00:53] it says unable to find default bottle [00:54] a: sounds like crossover office. Check the docs... [00:54] how do i terminate a zombie process? [00:54] is that something i should be worried about? [00:54] a: You might night to right click and choose "Open with wine" === kde is now known as Guest4649 [00:54] CatCheeto but i cant stand opening a file in vim, making a lot of edits, then going to save the file and it telling me 'permission denied' because i forgot to run sudo === Guest4649 is now known as limux === limux is now known as linux [00:55] losha: I have wine set to load .exe files by default, I don't see what's so bad about that. I mean, I'm not going to run around running random files I got off of the web... [00:55] what'd be better is a daemon that monitors what files i'm tryin to access and if i dont have permission it runs sudo on the command automatically [00:55] vraa: it depends. A process becomes a zombie because it's waiting for its parent to notice that it has died. To kill it, you usually also need to find and kill the parent, using e.g. ps axf [00:56] can anyone please confirm to me that yahoo is working with pidgin? [00:56] infid: when that happens to me, I just save the file as /tmp/t and then copy it to the right place using sudo. Don't lose much time that way... [00:57] i_am_null: Yes it works with Yahoo. A bit of searching even on yahoo about pidgin would have worked too :P http://www.pidgin.im/ [00:57] losha i guess that would have to do [00:58] CaffeineRush: I suppose so. I find wine a bit scary, security-wise... [00:58] infid: Not sure of any daemons to do that. Even with aliases you would have to remember to use something other then the correct command, like svim or something, so probably not the best idea for you [00:58] yeah, i know it "works" but its not working right now [00:58] losha: Ok, actually I use to have echo's in my bash scripts just to see what the lines will output. [00:58] and given the track record pidgin has with yahoo, i'd like to know if anyone else can't connect === nick is now known as Guest58558 [00:58] infid: safer and easier than running a daemon, particularly one which grants sudo... [00:58] losha: I understand your POV :) [00:59] How do I get a bash script to run three different bash scripts one by one and not execute bash script two and thre until the one before has finnished? [00:59] thank you losha [00:59] trying to figure out if its on my end, or if yahoo/pidgin or something is screwed up right now [00:59] i_am_null: Ah, then I can't answer you, I don't have an account on Yahoo :P [01:00] i_am_null: Pidgin seems to be connected to yahoo [01:00] Like having: ./bash_script1 on one line, ./bash_script2 one the next line etc. Then execute bash script two after the first one has finnished. [01:00] thanks, CatCheeto [01:00] Evelina: just call them from a fourth script, in order, one after the other, as though you were typing them into a terminal... [01:01] CaffeineRush: :-) [01:01] <_Techie_> is it possible to run openssh-server and apache on the same port? [01:01] _Techie_: two services cannot use the same port [01:01] Question: Is it possible to make Ubuntu Upper and Lower Panels to be better viewed if orientation is set left and right, instead of top and bottom? [01:01] <_Techie_> ls [01:02] losha: Ok, but the new bash scriopt won't execute them at the same time? The second bash script won't start before the first one has completed it's taks? [01:02] *script [01:02] _Techie_: in general, only one service per port. Not only that, but there are conventions on which service use which port. Generally, apache runs on 80, and ssh runs on 22. You can change that, as it's only a convention, but it's a good convention... [01:03] <_Techie_> losha- i need to run my ssh on port 443 but wouldnt like to lose the ability to have https === me is now known as Guest32624 [01:04] _Techie_: Not only that if you change the port 80 for Apache, you will have to tell your client to connect on which ports as browser uses the port 80 (HTTP) [01:04] _Techie_: Why do you need it on port 443? [01:04] _Techie_: Let me guess, your port22 is blocked by your ISP ? [01:04] <_Techie_> DarkMasterHalo- not by my ISP, just a restrictive proxy [01:05] <_Techie_> DarkMasterHalo- it only allows HTTP requests through and HTTPS on port 443 [01:05] Evelina: bash scripts generally execute in order, one line at a time, proceeding as each line completes. Anything else would be chaos, though you can arrange other orderings if you need to, but by default, it works just like if you'd typed it in a terminal (the terminal runs bash too, it's just 'interactive' i.e. not running from a file) [01:05] _Techie_: So... you are running a website that requires SSL behind that restrictive proxy? [01:05] _Techie_: ssl, or ssh? Not the same thing at all... [01:06] <_Techie_> canthus13- no, the website with ssl is connected directly to the internet, i am the person behind the proxy [01:06] sorry for the noob question --- I have extracted a new icon set to /home/{username}/.icons/newiconset --- now how do I install it? [01:06] _Techie_: Ok. Then no problem. you should be fine accepting ssh connections on port 443. [01:06] Hrm. [01:06] _techie_: You can have it still work, but you would need to put the other port after the url (https://site:PORTNUMBER) [01:06] <_Techie_> losha- however you can tunnel ssh through ssl which is what i have set up, but i need the ssh server to be on port 443 or it tries to ssl on port 22 [01:07] rjonesx1: The easiest way to install themes is to simply drag the archive into the theme manager [01:07] * rjonesx1 cant find the theme manager :-( [01:07] _Techie_: the return port whenyou access a secure site isn't going to be port 443. it's going to be some random port above 1024. [01:07] how do you install pdo for php in ubuntu? [01:07] rjonesx1: Open system->prefs->appearence [01:07] <_Techie_> boondoklife- read up, im behind a restrictive proxy that only allows HTTPS on port 443 [01:07] i dont see an apt package [01:07] thx catcheeto, ill give that a shot. [01:07] I got a question for the adults in here...Would you raise your kids on Linux or Windows? [01:08] mnaines: I raise my kids on Linux for everything but games. [01:08] Hey all! really Really new to Ubuntu (9.04) here... I was trying to perma-mount a network drive using cifs and I've modified fstab and all, but when I reboot, nothing pops up on the desktop. If I pop a "sudo mount -a" everytime I logon, it pops up just fine... any ideas? [01:08] mnaines linux if i wanted them to be smart or not but me into fixing their spyware issues [01:08] mnaines: Mine are learning both. Linux for personal use, windows for school [01:08] mnaines: On many system as possible. [01:08] _Techie_: too complicated for my tiny brain... [01:08] catcheeto: Huzzah! [01:08] hehe [01:08] <_Techie_> losha- i did find a program, but im havign trouble installing it [01:08] _Techie_: Anyway, just try it. the worst that can happen is failure. [01:09] mnaines: how would I be able to raise it upon windows in the first place? [01:09] rjonesx1: Woot! I just installed icons yesterday myself, lol [01:09] mnaines: I'm with DarkMasterHalo. As many as possible. Teach them a foreign language or two from age 2 as well while it's still effortless for them.... [01:09] Next question...Should they learn on the GUI or CLI? [01:09] mnaines: Both. [01:10] mnaines: Both, I say, give them the choice to choose what they want :P [01:10] mnaines: Again, both [01:10] mnaines: GUI, but be able to use cli [01:10] Anyone have any idea about network mounts? I'm stumped :P [01:10] kilo: NFS or Samba? [01:10] samba [01:10] Of course, don't let them go around with the CLI, when they find there is a GUI they will only use it :P [01:10] -.- NFS rules [01:10] kilo: No idea. Samba annoys me. [01:10] I got one of those fish magnet things for cars that says Linux...Sadly, I get a bunch of mean looks and one-finger salutes when people pass me [01:11] <{PS}Fableflame> Did yahoo messenger change it's server again? [01:11] lol, I just did what the pretty online tutorials showed me in the pictures [01:11] <{PS}Fableflame> Because Pidgin isn't connecting to Yahoo [01:11] {PS}Fableflame: About 2 or 3 months ago.... [01:11] Hmm. [01:11] I noticed that the theme Glossy was removed from Jaunty, I was wondering where I could find a copy of it? [01:11] {PS}Fableflame: Well, there was a guy asking if Pidgin could connect to Yahoo. [01:11] <{PS}Fableflame> It's connecting to AIM fine, but not yahoo [01:11] * canthus13 checks empathy. [01:11] Yeah...I also want to know where I can download more themes for Jaunty [01:11] mnaines: probably because you are ruining the car with a fish sticker, fish = fail [01:12] So NFS can perma mount a drive on a windows network to a jaunty box [01:12] !eye candy [01:12] Find your themes at: http://www.gnome-look.org - http://art.gnome.org - http://www.kde-look.org - http://kubuntu-art.org - http://themes.freshmeat.net/browse/58/ - http://www.guistyles.com - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/ - Also see !changethemes and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy [01:12] ? [01:12] use art manager [01:12] foundry87: Try this website, http://www.gnome-look.org/ [01:12] {PS}Fableflame: Yahoo is connecting on port 5050 [01:12] mnaines: that's not because of linux. It's because of the fish. And you wanna avoid those people. They're unstable... [01:12] <_Techie_> is anyone able to compile this into a .deb for me? http://www.pond-weed.com/multiplex/mplex-0.9.3.tar.gz [01:12] Well owned by ubottu [01:12] kilo: NFS? No. [01:12] LOL [01:12] <{PS}Fableflame> My port is set to 5050 [01:13] kilo: If you're stuck using Samba, check the forums. There are tons of guides. [01:13] _Techie_, why can't you? [01:13] <{PS}Fableflame> I have "cn.scs.msg.yahoo.com" as the page server [01:13] I'm not stuck using samba [01:13] DarkMasterHalo: I checked that site but the term "glossy" returns many results. [01:13] this is a totally new build [01:13] <_Techie_> mrwes- i cant seem to get make to work properly [01:13] kilo: You can use Webmin to configure samba [01:13] {PS}Fableflame: scs.msg.yahoo.com [01:13] anyone available to try a question about SiS graphics on 9.04? [01:13] kilo: Ah. I abandoned samba a long time ago for NFS. [01:13] kilo: But I have no windows boxes. [01:14] I guess the problem isn't the mounting itself... I can get the drive to show up [01:14] <{PS}Fableflame> CatCheeto: Thanks, that fixed it [01:14] kilo: Just wondering how to put it in fstab? [01:14] it's that I hafta go in everytime to the terminal to pop "sudo mount -a" [01:14] no no [01:14] _Techie_: can't you just install mjpegtools? [01:14] it's in fstab [01:14] that's the wierd part [01:14] it just doesn't start on reboot [01:14] kilo: check your logs and see if you can find where it fails. [01:14] <_Techie_> losha- different type of multiplex [01:15] err, start = mount === christian is now known as Guest23229 [01:15] <_Techie_> losha- http://www.pond-weed.com/multiplex/ [01:15] hi, i need to compile the gspca module but i get an error. Which is the right chan. to ask for help? [01:15] kilo: dmesg | grep mount === Guest23229 is now known as kr1s [01:15] kilo: Then pastebin it. [01:15] Doesn't sudo mount -a just mount everything in the fstab, aka everything that should load on reboot? [01:15] Thanks for the theme webpage, guys...Found some desktop wallpaper I like [01:15] foundry87: Well, I guess you will have to go through the search results as I don't know what it looks like :P [01:15] CatCheeto, yes [01:16] did someone used the gspca drivers? [01:16] ya, that's my point... it should totally be loading [01:16] Can anyone here help me with remote desktop sharing? [01:16] mrwes: K, thanks. A bit new myself. Seemed like that was the general idea of it... lol [01:16] so I dunno what's up [01:16] ah well. [01:16] kilo: pastebin the results of dmesg | grep mount [01:16] can associate an extension to automaticamy open with a wine software [01:16] e g :I want to read my pdf in acrobat reader [01:16] canthus13, http://www.ubuntugeek.com/mount-network-file-systems-nfssamba-in-ubuntu.html [01:16] kilo: Might be something there to tell you why. [01:16] Anyone? [01:16] kilo: it's usually because networking is slow to come up, so when the fstab executes, networking isn't ready, and the mount fails... [01:17] mrwes: :) Thanks. My mounts are fine. [01:17] k [01:17] I might need a little help translating that... just installed ubuntu this morning [01:17] lol [01:17] kilo: is this machine on wireless? [01:17] _Techie_: build it and .deb it yourself. I'll step you through it if you want... [01:17] kilo: Just wondering how to put it in fstab? < -- that you? [01:17] nope [01:17] mrwes: Heh. I was asking him. :) [01:17] ahh...Duh :) [01:17] <_Techie_> losha shall we pm? [01:18] !who | kilo [01:18] kilo: As you can see, this is a large channel.

Still, I think losha is on the right track. [01:18] err. [01:18] oh, I gedited it through the terminal after loging in as root [01:18] kilo: You're that new to Linux? [01:18] kilo: I think losha is on the right track. It's a timing thing. maybe samba isn't up and running before the mount. [01:18] hello people [01:19] kilo: Wait, if the problem is mounting network volume, you can put the command to mount your NFS volume in the file /etc/rc.local [01:19] kilo, are you using the __netdev option in the mount ? [01:19] kilo: If you can paste the results of dmesg | grep mount Then we might be able to find out. [01:19] DarkMasterHalo: he's using Samba. [01:19] canthus13: Nevermind .... [01:19] ya mnaines... sorry... am I totally marring the face of ubuntu? XD [01:19] kilo: has to be the timing. If it was bad syntax, sudo mount -a wouldn't work...

Also, the rest can sing along and follow the bouncing ball...

[01:27] Othman: I've had countless good experiences with Wine. Though, I've had many bad as well [01:27] <_Techie_> losha- i dotn think i do, its a server install and i havent installed that yet [01:27] (06:24:36 PM) mrwes: kilo, or open a terminal and dmesg tail -f and then sudo mount -a in another terminal [01:27] eric1 still here [01:27] currently own a Microsoft Wireless Laser Desktop 6000 v2.

The mouse has two small buttons off to the left that can be pressed with the thumb. Neither works. Ubuntu DOES recognize that they exist (in the mouse dialog, clicking either of those special buttons on the lightbulb causes it to light up). [01:27] Anyone know what I can do?

[01:28] losha: Heh. [01:28] <_Techie_> losha- checkinstall is installed [01:28] Othman: that will depend on what file manager you're using. (e.g. Nautilus with GNOME) [01:28] ok did that [01:28] _Techie_: ok, sudo checkinstall in the directory where mplex was built... [01:28] mikegerwitz : wire-dns.net) a rejoint #ubuntu [01:28] wers (n=allan@112.203.115.194) a rejoint [01:28] and opened another terminal and mounted [01:28] foofish: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 2009-08-29 16:33 /usr/bin/firefox -> firefox-3.0 [01:28] ok, ls -l $(which firefox-3.0) [01:28] foundry87: Are you using compiz?

See packages.ubuntu.com to figure out which file is provided by which package [01:29] mikegerwitz : Nautilus with GNOME yes [01:29] canthus13: Okay [01:29] should I stop or review the tail? [01:30] soreau: one of the programs just now i am trying it 'htpasswd' one machine suggests what to use, the other does not. [01:30] <_Techie_> losha- okay it says that it has created the .deb [01:30] suman: hm, i don't seem ot have a firefox-bin on my system, either [01:30] suman: :) [01:30] soreau: seems the package i am missing is 'command-not-found'...go figure, never heard of it [01:30] _Techie_: usually it installs it automatically too. If not, then sudo gdebi [01:30] mikegerwitz :adobe reader don't show on right click for example === NorwayGeek is now known as NorwayGeek|Away [01:31] foofish: thanks.. i guess the blog i was referring to was outdated or something..

[01:31] _Techie_: dpkg -i [01:32] suman: i'd guess you just want to use the output of "which firefox" instead of /path/to/firefox-bin [01:32] <_Techie_> losha- thankyou [01:32] canthus13: I'm still here. Can we talk about SiS graphics? [01:32] got a quick question [01:32] !wine [01:32] _Techie_: See? only 4 steps, not bad at all...

[01:33] canthus: should I stop this tail at some point? [01:33] Firefox 3 could not be found in the path! [01:33] eric1: I know nothing about SiS. [01:33] Still nothing [01:33] It still won't accept my Wep Key [01:33] kilo: I;'m not sure what he had in mind when he had you tail it. [01:33] ah... and then he left [01:33] foofish: http://www.pastie.org/647811 [01:33] lol [01:33] suman: does it mention the name of the actual binary it's looking for? [01:33] It detects my wrouter but it wont accept the wep key [01:34] Router* [01:34] kilo: the only reason to check that output would be if it wasn't mounting properly after boot, but it is. [01:34] any ideas how to break the tail [01:34] ? [01:34] kilo: ctrl-C [01:34] ty ;) [01:34] I have a python script for use in conkyrc, but every time I run it it outputs the the script code to be interpreted by conky, and not the result (i.e. ${fs_size /home} - not the size of /home) [01:34] what am I doning wrong?

Umm.. do you know how to use pastebin? [01:35] I do not [01:35] my .bashrc isn't being 'sourced' when I log in. How do I do it again? was it .bash_profile? [01:35] I call the script by ${execi 1800 python ./hd.py} [01:35] foofish: losha: i was referring to this blog to solve the issue http://willbryant.net/software/2008/05/26/selenium_rc_firefox_2_on_ubuntu_hardy [01:35] kilo: It's easy. pastebin.com is a website that lets you paste info into a window, then create a link for other people to go to and see what you apsted. [01:35] ah sweet [01:35] kilo: What I'd like you to do is paste the contents of /var/log/messages to pastebin. [01:35] I'll take a look [01:35] thanks! [01:35] kilo: Then we can see what's failing. [01:36] suman: well, strictly speaking, it's correct. On my system, /usr/bin/firefox is a link to a link to a shell script... [01:36] suman: on my system, the firefox binary is /usr/lib/firefox-3.0.14/firefox [01:36] suman: it'll be somethign like that on yours [01:36] how do i know if the file is a binary [01:36] suman: file /path/to/filename will tell you [01:37] shoudl I just go through these files one-by-one?

[01:39] JoeSomebody: maybe you were trolling? [01:39] foofish: alrite...i guess i can change the look up path to point to the correct binary file path in my system.. [01:39] should I classify this as python? === kasper is now known as eights [01:40] JoeSomebody: well, we're ignoring you now because you like windows... [01:40] canthus13: oh ok, so in that case I would have to do fresh install ? [01:40] When I upload a package into debian. If I use (LP: #12340 will it eventually close the Ubuntu bug? [01:40] suman: i think you want to leave the path unchanged and fiddle with the selenium settings [01:40] Guest40749: Or upgrade to Jaunty, then to Karmic. [01:40] suman: to tell it where the binary is [01:40] Guest40749: Fresh would be better. [01:40] suman: not that i know how to do that, of course [01:40] someone was telling me that it is going to be a major release ? what does that mean ? === yofel_ is now known as yofel [01:41] Guest40749: L will be a major release, or a long term release [01:41] Guest40749: No. 10.04, due in April, will be a major release. [01:41] ok it's done [01:41] Guest40749: it means it's supported for a longer time, and has more to do with the business end of ubuntu than the end-user [01:41] foofish: yeah you are right... i have find where seleniium is installed, find the line and make the change.... [01:41] kilo: Ok. paste the link. [01:41] I just put it under "none" category [01:41] Cool. [01:41] canthus13: what is special about Karmic that it is going to be a major release.

[01:42] Guest40749: he said 10.04 not 9.10 [01:42] Canthus I've noticed something, the ubuntu connects to an unsecure wifi but it will not connect to encrypted ones. I've made sure I entered the key correctly several times. I doubt its a driver problem. [01:42] johnf: already fixed https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/12248 [01:43] viva, are you still using network manager? [01:43] Is it better to use aptitude or apt-get? [01:43] Guest40749: long term releases are supported longer. [01:43] canthus13: In that case I can wait for 10.04 but what would be the benefit over the present release ? [01:43] Guest40749: A major release just means it is supported for a longer period of time. Every other release is a major release [01:43] vivavista: have you tried wicd? [01:43] CatCheeto: well, the real business about it is LTS is what Canonical sells support for/sells to Dell etc [01:43] CatCheeto: it hasn't been every other release in the past [01:43] Oh, ok thanks so its just the support and no difference in OS right ! [01:44] I mean no major changes in OS or features ! [01:44] Guest40749: every realese is a change in features... [01:44] Guest40749: six months after 10.04 there will be a new OS yep [01:44] Hello! How do I increase the size of the font in an xterm? [01:44] Guest40749: basically like I said it has more to do with the business end of Ubuntu. don't worry about ti [01:44] okay guyz how are you all doing? [01:44] No, I haven't. [01:44] jrib: Oh, I thought thought there was a release every 6 months, and every other one was an LTS? [01:45] every four ones [01:45] kilo: Wierd. No mention of it at all. [01:45] CatCheeto: nah, 6.06 and 8.04 have been LTS. And 10.04 is the next one [01:45] viva: it's a much nicer network manager than the trditional one, if your OS can support it [01:45] Hello! How do I increase the size of the font in an xterm?

I guess it is every 2 version (numbers) but every 4 releases... 2 years... more 2's then 4's I guess stuck in my head [01:46] kilo: Here's a thread with a few ideas, though. http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-103274.html [01:46] foofish: xterm profile? [01:46] mdg: erm, wait, xterm... [01:46] anyway i have a problem i've been troubleshooting all day which shows how much i suck. i let update manager (and ostensibly one of my non official sources) delete a bunch of stuff. Since then I've had trouble booting X correctly [01:46] awesome! thanks! === me is now known as Guest86171 [01:47] Thanks Everyone for answering my queries ! [01:47] mdg: control-right click? some context menu like that [01:47] The splash screen starts, then it drops me to tty2 commandline and gives me an error about the kernel, then the gui shows back up and gives me the option to boot ubuntu in low graphics mode, troubleshoot, drop back to terminal [01:47] mdg: or, i think, control-alt-plus, perhaps numpad plus [01:48] the error is (typing it from my cell phone camera) [01:48] foofish: its a laptop [01:48] interesting that they're having the same issue [01:48] foofish: and I'm actually running Crunchbang /me ducks [01:49] mdg: Nothing wrong with #!.

I prefer apt-get because aptitude makes my eyes hurt :P [01:50] mdg: and man xrdb, i guess [01:50] grr lol [01:50] i'll paste my whole thing into paste bin [01:50] canthus13: 700 Mhz with newly upgraded ram to 512 MB [01:51] mdg: Not much lower than her specs. [01:51] lol okay i just heard someone telling me something about only aptitude will remove older versions of stuff when you install a new version [01:51] mdg: traditional Ubuntu would prolly work fine on that. [01:51] hey [01:51] any one used SOGo in here? [01:51] !anyone | phix [01:51] phix: 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? [01:52] MenZa: Have you used it before? [01:52] canthus13: I normally install Linux Mint, but the previous install seemed laggy, but now with more ram... [01:52] phix: I haven't, no. [01:52] mdg: Mint is a little heavier than Ubuntu. [01:52] GhostDog: No idea if this would work, but couldn't you just remove the bad source and do an apt-get update? or will it not let you do that from the terminal you can get? [01:52] MenZa: ok [01:52] any one else used it? [01:52] !guidelines | phix [01:52] phix: The guidelines for using the Ubuntu channels can be found here: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [01:52] http://pastebin.com/m340db636 [01:52] there is what i wrote [01:52] I am having problems trying to get it working in Ubuntu [01:53] fccf: I know about them [01:53] phix: Say so, then, instead of asking who's using it :) [01:53] canthus13: I'm still considering mint fluxbox... [01:53] fccf, MenZa: <3 [01:53] mdg: Never seen it. You might look into OpenGEU, too... [01:53] CatCheeto: I went back to all default sources. Since then I've been kernel-swapping and forcing driver versions and I really don't want to wipe [01:53] mdg: Enightenment is much prettier. [01:54] phix: have you read them, just trying to make it easier on everybody... I don't even know what SOGo is? [01:54] mdg: And still very lightweight.

Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [01:54] GhostDog: Fair enough... Sorry, only idea I had... too advanced for me! lol [01:54] mdg: Not as far as I know, anyway. [01:55] mdg: Mint is neat, but it's just ubuntu with medibuntu pre-installed and a green theme pre-installed and a few reverse engineered apps. devs prob have made millions off it. heh [01:55] mdg: In fact, enlightenment is in the repos. [01:55] how can I connect to a NX server (LAN) at bootup from my laptop? [01:55] fccf: Scalable Opengroupware.org, it provides centralised Email addressbook, calendar, it has web interface that looks like Mozilla thunderbird / sunbird / lightning as well as a thunderbird / lightning connector for synchronising addressbook and calendars [01:55] then again, so has Canonical but at least the OS doesn't beg for donations [01:55] canthus13: If I can get the xterm font set to bigger I might just live with Crunchbang for a little while - its kinda growing on me, plus it uses the ubuntu repos [01:55] giiker: Your laptop's bios would have to support it. [01:56] http://pastebin.com/m340db636 <-- Help GhostDog! [01:56] canthus13: what else does enlightement depent on? [01:56] mdg: Not much else.

[01:56] What's the command to add user from terminal? useradd , but it doesn't create a directory in /home. How to use -D or -d ? [01:56] !karmic | cfedde [01:56] cfedde: Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 29th, 2009 - Karmic is BETA and MAY break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [01:56] canthus13: It does === Bllasae_ is now known as Bllasae [01:56] crf_: ^ [01:56] fccf: hmmm well you know of any other applications that provide centralised / shared addressbook and calendars that i can use with Thunderbird/Lightning? [01:56] cfedde: Pardon that. [01:56] canthus13: may have to investigate that [01:57] so NFS is better if I'm running all-linux boxes? [01:57] canthus13: does your wife use openoffice? Is it laggy? [01:57] mdg: It's loads of eye candy for very little in the way of resources. [01:57] ;-) [01:57] canthus13: does it support keyboard shortcuts? [01:57] mdg: It takes a while to load, but once it's loaded it's fine. [01:57] (which I'm not, so I'm assuming I'll hafta stick with samba?) [01:58] What's the command to add user from terminal? useradd , but it doesn't create a directory in /home. How to use -D or -d ? [01:58] canthus13: I once set it up in Knoppix, but i have no idea how in ubuntu [01:58] mdg: I dunno if enlightenment supports customizable keyboard shortcuts or not. Never tried. [01:58] Debian-user: Try adduser instead. [01:59] Debian-user: add the -m switch [01:59] phix: have you looked at this http://tomcat.ranta.info/2008/09/13/howto-install-opengroupwareorg-on-ubuntu-804-amd64-server-with-ldap-support-part-1-of-3/ [01:59] something really wrong with amarok: it crash instantly after trying to use it, here is the bug report: http://pastebin.ca/1605629 i need to hear my electro!!!! [01:59] kilo: Well, when you stick to Samba, do you have problems mounting network volumes from Windows or Mac ? [01:59] Debian-user: adduser creates the home directory and such. [01:59] not really [01:59] it's only on boot up [02:00] phix: not my area of expertise, exactly [02:00] I was able to find my windows server immediately [02:00] kilo: From your Ubuntu box ? [02:00] canthus13: thanks for the advice :) [02:00] hello [02:00] actaully... I don't ever even remember setting up samba... I'm not sharing anything off of this computer, only to it [02:00] dark: yes [02:01] !hi | KYO2 [02:01] KYO2: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines. Enjoy your stay! [02:01] Errod /home/xbmc/.fluxbox/startup: 43: cannot create /proc/mtrr: Permission denied - Need help [02:01] kilo: Can you explain the situation to me, I didn't get everything out of it. I remember setting a Samba server with auto-mounting from another linux box [02:01] ya, the only issue that I've had is that the drives don't mount on bootup (it's really no big deal.... just an inconvenience) [02:01] sure! [02:02] how to force script to execute as a root [02:02] fccf: oh ok, so how do you synchronise addressbook and calendar information between computers? [02:02] hi [02:02] StaRetji: sounds like xbmc needs more privlidges ... perhaps add it to proc group? [02:02] StaRetji: use sudo [02:02] I like sudo [02:02] tried [02:02] I have 4 shared folders on a windows box on my network, I would like them to show as separate drives. I've modified fstab accordingly, and I can manually mount it via terminal, but they won't mount on bootup [02:03] lstarnes: Can't delete a user ,userdel: user /home/ant/ does not exist [02:03] works onlu from console, script doesn't react if it's in startup [02:03] will try with proc [02:03] Debian-user: there's likely a flag for ignoring home directories. check the man page for deluser [02:03] kilo: Does these shared folder have restrictions applied to them ? [02:03] hey guys - what is the apt-get command to upgrade to the karmic beta? [02:03] canthus13: lstarnes: Can't delete a user ,userdel: user /home/ant/ does not exist [02:03] fccf how to add xbmc user to proc group? [02:03] s1gmab3ta: apt-get doesn't handle that [02:04] s1gmab3ta: someone in #ubuntu+1 likely knoes [02:04] *knows [02:04] kilo: Ah wait, I know what you want ! [02:04] lstarnes: But there is a directory named "ant" , i just created this user. [02:04] two do, two do not [02:04] Debian-user: in /home? [02:04] =D [02:04] kilo: Basically, instead of putting them into the fstab file, put them into the rc.local folder under /etc [02:05] oh really? [02:05] kilo: This rc.local file runs command after everything is up bascially [02:05] should I just have it run a mount command then? [02:05] how i can install debugging symbols for phonon-xine? [02:05] Night. [02:05] lstarnes: Yes, [02:06] there is no proc group, damn [02:06] Debian-user: man page says it deluser won't remove home by default, have to use --remove-home [02:06] kilo: Theorically, it should work. All you have to do is type the command you want to run in that file, so if you have 4 share you will type four times the mount -t smbfs command [02:06] oh! not just sudo mount -a [02:06] I have a firewire express card in my laptop - if I reboot, the kernel will see it. if I plug it in after the fact, it doesn't show up - nothing in dmesg, nothing in lspci. is there some way I can probe/load a module/ get it recogized? [02:06] kilo: This file is run as root anyway :P [02:06] DarkMasterHalo: But you have to modify it with sudo [02:07] lstarnes: CatCheeto It's disgusting , why doesn't delete from /home by-deafault? But it deletes from /etc/passwd [02:07] StaRetji: is xbmc running as a process or as a server? [02:07] Debian-user: removing it manually just takes one command [02:07] process i guess [02:07] ok, I think I understand... so ditch fstab and just perform the manual mounts in rc [02:08] StaRetji: you actually run it from the command line [02:08] fccf: servers are processes [02:08] if i issue sudo it works, but in bash script doesn't do anything [02:08] lstarnes: What's the command ? sudo userdel ? [02:08] Debian-user: I assume to preserve data while quickly being able to remove permission for a user? Good Q, I am not sure :( Kinda annoying though [02:08] Debian-user: sudo rm -r /home/username [02:08] kilo: Well, I would do it like this, or does a mount -a right now mount the two other network drives ? [02:08] Debian-user: userdel just deletes user accounts [02:08] hi [02:08] fccf: yes, but have to run it each time x starts [02:08] lstarnes: I meant service [02:08] Debian-user: deleting the home directory won't delete the user [02:08] when does karmic official get released? [02:08] "sudo mount -a" takes care of everything [02:08] fccf: services are processes too [02:08] so i made a bash script to call fixscript [02:08] it just doesn't wanna do it on bootup [02:08] folks, what's wrong with cherokee 0.9x? Why Jaunty is stuck on 0.11.6 ? [02:09] spO: october 29 [02:09] I can't seem to make s2ram my default for Suspend/Resume. pm-suspend using the default is broken on my Toshiba, but s2ram on the command line works fine. How do I fix it so that choosing Suspend from the menu will use s2ram instead of the default? [02:09] Debian-user: If you haven't removed the user yet, just do a deluser --remove-home user [02:09] is there a way i can compare two different directories whereas there is an analysis of whether the files are different? [02:09] lstarnes: some run at boot = init.d [02:09] kilo: Ok so you can leave what you need in fstab and just put mount -a in rc.local. That would solve your problem of network drives not mapping properly [02:09] but it wont wokr, it onbly works if executed from a terminal [02:09] fccf: those are also processes [02:09] hey DarkMasterHalo is halo that good to play, worth buying a pc controller for [02:10] lstarnes: I meant from command line ... I don't want to fight with you ... we are both right [02:10] I have it installed but can't play it with keyboard cmds [02:10] CatCheeto: I have removed the user, but the directory is still there in /home [02:10] fccfL any ideas mate? [02:10] Doc_Lappy: Well, I only like the story and I've read the books, plus, I have all 3 games but not the ODST one. [02:10] My video card isnt supported by the livecd. how can i boot in generic/vesa mode? Nothing seems to work [02:10] Doc_Lappy: But it is a good game. [02:10] CatCheeto: Is there any way to delete that directory using userdel orf deluser command now? [02:11] ok, gonna reboot and see if it works.... brb! [02:11] Debian-user: sudo rm -r /home/folder [02:11] Debian-user: userdel -r %username% I think will do the work [02:11] lstarnes: Don't want to use rm, trying to use userdel or deluser to remove from home directory [02:11] Debian-user: if the user is delted already, then you must use rm [02:11] *deleted [02:12] Where are the most up-to-date docs on getting Suspend/Resume to work on a laptop using Jaunty? [02:12] Debian-user: userdel -r removes the home directory of the user and the mail spool, if the user is already deleted then you have to remove the directory manualy as said by lstarnes: [02:12] k well when I can afford it I might get me one so I can play it, I have it installed right now but not doing me anygood, I'd probably need it for fallout 3 too if I install it [02:12] The ones I've seen are ancient -- Hardy or Gutsy or older. [02:12] is there no way to manually specify the usb pen drive's device for a live-install or live boot? [02:13] Debian-user: If you really wanted, I think you could add a new user, chown the home folder to the new user and then deluser --remove-all-files. Never tried, but might work in theory [02:13] Debian-user: Why not just use rm? It's what it's for. [02:13] Debian-user: rm would be a lot easier though [02:13] CatCheeto: If you assign the home folder to that one, yes [02:13] I have no clue why is this, if i run it as root (works), if i run it as xbmx user with sudo (works), without sudo (doesn't work). I tried adding sudo -U xbmc to a bash script, but nothing happened... [02:14] StaRetji: that question would probably be appropriate to ask in #xbmc ... i think [02:14] I have a rather general question. I run my laptop with Ubuntu 9.04 and am very happy, but I want to add external monitors. Are there any issues with Ubuntu and USB GPU? Are they plug and play? Are there certain brands that work better than others (with Ubuntu)? [02:14] CatCheeto: etfb : rm doesn't delete useraccount, it just deletes the directory from /home. Give me the complete command to add a user with directory in /home. [02:14] Does anybody here have experience with external GPU? [02:14] Is there a way to change the video driver a livecd uses? [02:14] ulb: I've been very pleased with external monitor support in JJ. [02:14] Debian-user: You already removed the user with deluser [02:15] fccf hm, they told me it is ubuntu problem [02:15] etfb: cool, can I ask what brand you use? [02:15] and model? [02:15] ulb: I only know how to do it with internal cards ... and that is what etfb probably has [02:15] ulb: Toshiba A300 laptop. [02:15] fccf i just need a way to make bash script to executes without me being loged and execute it from console [02:15] ulb, what are you trying to do? [02:16] CatCheeto: Yes, and did rm -rf /home/usr [02:16] woohoo! thanks all! I got it! [02:16] ulb: Earlier Kubuntu had trouble, but Jaunty has finally fixed that. It's pretty close to plug-and-play (though you have to reboot). [02:16] I already run an external monitor with my laptop, but I want to add two. I also want to use external GPU, because my laptop uses shared memory for video [02:16] StaRetji: if you need to schedule it repeatedly, try using cron [02:16] mkilo2: Your network drives ? [02:16] yup yup!! [02:16] thanks to your suggestion re:rc.local [02:17] mkilo2: No problem ! Always a pleasure to help someone. [02:17] lstarnes I have to execute it each time X starts (it is a fix for faulty intel driver) [02:17] VOSS, I want to run a laptop with two external 24" monitors (so I will use external USB GPU) [02:17] I'll admit, I just did the lazy thing: I tried just putting "sudo mount -a" in there and it worked! [02:17] StaRetji: look here ... anybody can run it and it will always run as root http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=219618 [02:17] StaRetji: you could use it in one of X's startup files [02:17] ulb, two monitors showing the same thing or different things [02:17] Different things [02:17] mkilo2: Just remember that you don't need to put sudo in this file :P [02:18] Debian-user: adduser will create a home folder, it is useradd that doesn't by default [02:18] Debian-user, sorry.. coming in late. You're trying to remove a user's home directory and account in a single command? [02:18] the bootable pendrive (or it's initrd scripts) detect the (broken) hdd partition as a cdrom on a "pen drive" thus booting from it instead of the pen drive [02:18] I'm trying to find a way to avoid it [02:18] oh! ok... so just "mount -a" ? [02:18] fccf THX I'll give it a try [02:18] But nothing so fat [02:18] lstarnes : Thx mate, tried that already [02:18] mkilo2: Yup, should do the trick. the sudo command as root is ignored :P [02:18] (sorry, I only just first touched linux this morning lol!) [02:18] xrandr handles it fine (so far) [02:18] I see [02:18] mkilo2: Well thats good. [02:19] it's awesome... been having the time of my life with compiz [02:19] Yondering: With the command userdel -r %username%, it removes, the user, his home directory and mail spool [02:19] Hey guys, I'm having a problem with booting up. It was working fine, then the next day I go to start Ubuntu and it's getting hung up at "Checking battery state". I'm on a desktop. [02:20] mkilo2: I spent about 4 hours of my life to configure it to be ultimate :P [02:20] Usb 3.0 will allow GOOD usb graphics cards , now you just have sort of functional ones [02:20] mkilo2-> welcome to the new world, lol [02:20] Debian-user: useradd -d user will create a home directory as well. But I always use adduser. Not sure why there is both commands [02:20] DarkMasterHalo, thanks :) [02:20] Yondering: No problem :) [02:20] LOL, I just love spining my desktop till I'm dizzy XD [02:20] fccf sudoers already done before, now i'm scrwed [02:21] je vais me coucher, aurevoir :) [02:21] i-me: Au revoir, Good bye (English) [02:21] ok, well thanks again guys! (and gals!) [02:21] off to din din [02:22] mkilo2: Have a good night ! [02:22] night! [02:22] hmmm anyone know why gma 500 support isn't included in the netbook remix of 9.04? It seems to be working fine for me on this netbook.. after configuration, of course. === CatCheeto is now known as Cheeto-away [02:22] Voss: I was looking at something like this : http://sewelldirect.com/USB-to-DVI-External-Video-Card-High-Resolution.asp [02:24] video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b_y5iO5sQ0Q&feature=PlayList&p=1C76EFE0A1F461CE&playnext=1&playnext_from=PL&index=69 [02:24] ulb, now that thing is cool.. any idea what sort of capabilities it has, performance wise? [02:24] Yondering: watch the video [02:25] ulb, on it, thanks [02:25] I just want to know if anyone has tried these with Ubuntu, and if so, what was their experience? [02:27] i need a freeradius package for intrepid that supports openssl [02:28] ulb: it would be great if something like that would work in linux, however they aren't providing a driver for linux, and it seems it uses a program that runs on the machine to make the external signal... My best guess would be that you would not have any luck getting it to work at this time... Perhaps with usb3.0 .... but really this is a gimmick, and not worth my dollar [02:29] ulb, ask the vendor [02:29] Voss; if they will respond [02:29] Hello, My evolution mail client has stopped working, it starts but stops responding after. (jaunty) [02:30] sewelldirect.com seems like a responsible company , if they dont respond dont buy it...simple enough [02:30] I still cant connect to my wireless network, what can I do? [02:30] ulb, according to the website they dont support linux directly. However, if x.org supports displaylink adapters, it may pick up on this. don't know without trying one though. =/ [02:31] yeah, thats why I was asking here :( [02:31] Hey guys, I'm having a problem with booting up. It was working fine, then the next day I go to start Ubuntu and it's getting hung up at "Checking battery state". I'm on a desktop.

[03:26] ;P [03:26] can someone kick/ban looser please [03:26] kenyon, but ubuntu should have given user to choose not to install in the installer [03:26] kenyon: but you'd think that after it has been closed it would kill the jvm? [03:26] there are people who really need help in here [03:26] cryptide: normally it does. [03:26] sako soory... :- X [03:26] and not continue eating 90% cpu [03:26] not to disable or uninstall after fresh install [03:27] VivaVista: Well, viva, I'll have to go but I'm sure other people can help you, if you get the windows drivers, then you can run the command ndiswrapper -i the run ndiswrapper -m -mi [03:27] O__o: maybe you should file a bug or see if bugs already exist for your problems? === gusan0r is now known as Gusan0r [03:27] i dont need to file one, there are many there [03:27] ok [03:27] Thanks for your help anyway [03:27] See you all, and have a good night [03:27] Does Ubuntu keep Debian's odd habit of mixing in nonfree documentation for free programs with nonfree programs? (I understand why they do, but I /really/ wish they would have stuck it in a separate section, like doc-nonfree or something...) [03:27] bye ... leave linux for the pro-users [03:28] Keiya: debian normally does put nonfree docs in separate nonfree packages. [03:28] looser: Ahaa loves this comment, I think I should just report you for that agressive comment [03:29] Does anyone here know how to use DeVeDe? Having some problems with it. [03:29] DarkMasterHalo, sorry [03:30] i dont understand why ubuntu decide to put pulseaudio as default in 8.04? [03:30] bye and sorry [03:30] O__o: its awesome [03:30] it was all good and solid in 7.10 [03:30] its awesome in what way? [03:30] Serla: You can try to edit the XML files in ~/.gconf/apps/panel and log out and back in. [03:31] O__o: nope, that OpenSSL security bug and gparted crashing on live [03:31] i dont see any improvement except problems [03:31] kenyon: Uh, what? It's in a package that's different from packages containing nonfree programs, but it still would be nicer if it was in a separate section. So you could enable the documentation for things like every GNU program ever and not also enable nonfree cruft [03:31] O__o: 8.04 was rock solid [03:31] how do i find out what module a usb device uses? [03:31] GDB 7.0 has been released. I'm wondering if it will be included in karmic. [03:31] u try to install 8.04 and then skype you will see what i mean? [03:32] komputes: lshw shows that, I think.

[04:33] FPS<1 is not 'works fine' [04:33] yep, that's what I would recommend anyone who asks me [04:33] How is indicator applet configured? [04:34] Wolfcastle: whats the problems that you are having? [04:34] does it still alert me of emails if i close evolution?? [04:34] i have a server question if anyone can help [04:34] Wolfcastle: You asked how you can downgrade [04:34] Lint_: Many people run WoW at full speed with wine, do you have 3D drivers for your graphics card installed? [04:34] !ask | Aframester [04:34] Aframester: 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. :-) [04:34] yes of course [04:34] You know what, you're right. I'll keep trying to learn my way around Ubuntu. [04:34] em no I didn't but thanks for answering anyway ;-) [04:35] VivaVista- stick with it.. youll get it [04:35] Jordan_U: great, thanks. I see that two of them are on the same channel... let's move them apart and see if that helps :D [04:35] I tell you more, it worked great until they broke xorg last year [04:35] Wolfcastle> downgraded asap [04:35] I have an older IBM server with dual core pentium 3's running XP and want to put ubuntu on it, which version should I look at? [04:35] Wolfcastle: is what you typed [04:35] Wolfcastle: after talking about installing 9.10 [04:36] Lint_: Do you have an Intel graphics card? [04:36] Jordan_U: no, I have Radeon X1300 graphics card [04:36] Jordan_U: wavemon is awesome too! [04:36] Aframester: What do you want to use it for? [04:36] * ekimmargni hearts GNU/linux [04:36] oh the cursed intel graphics card in 9.04... that was just bad [04:36] Is there any tools that monitor CPU Tempreature for linux? [04:37] I got some tests to run [04:37] VivaVista, lm-sensors [04:37] Aframester: they aren't 64bit processors right? [04:37] VivaVista: lm-sensors [04:37] Jordan: home media and home server [04:37] no they are not 64 bit [04:37] Aframester: Put x86 variant then? [04:37] VivaVista- lm sensors.. also make sure you install sensors applet with it [04:37] Is there a way to install a -particular- language set? I just installed Welsh through the language GUI from control center, and it installed it as "cy-GB" -- all my programs are searchng for "cy" [04:37] Aframester: and if its a home server and not really a production machine I would go with the most recent version. [04:37] How can I get cy-GB to cy? [04:37] would i want to run a server of just a desktop [04:37] VivaVista- open synaptic and search lm-sensors [04:37] histo: ok well thanx anyways [04:38] ok [04:38] sproaty: because no-one translated it to even cy? [04:38] would i want to run a server of just a desktop? [04:38] Lint_, I exported my .po gettext file from Launchpad and they've saved it as cy. wxPython is looking for cy. seems a bit weird [04:39] that means you've compiled it in wrong location [04:39] compiled the .po file? [04:39] yes, to .mo [04:40] Ok [04:40] Aframester: If you aren't very familiar with the terminal you should probably go with the desktop version, note that the main difference between the two is the set of default apps. [04:41] I have an external 1TB HD, that I want to keep as storage. Now, if I plan on completely formatting my C:\ drive when I install Ubuntu, should I do anything particular with the HD to keep it from getting formatted? Will I still be able to access it from within Ubuntu? [04:41] ok XCell, I installed it. Now how do I access it [04:41] no, that's fine - wxWidgets is looking in my system locale for "cy", but it's not finding it, since cy-gb is there. I don't think I can change wx since I'm passing a constant to a function that represents the chosen language. [04:41] Dunas: You should have no problem accessing it. Just make sure you don't format that drive by accident. [04:41] VivaVista- https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SensorInstallHowto [04:41] histo should I just unplug it for safety [04:42] Dunas: infact you can boot to the live cd and should be able to see the external drive. [04:42] Dunas: You can if your not too familiar with the hardware naming etc.. [04:42] Dunas: The installer makes it clear what partitions will be formatted [04:42] Well, I'm running on three cups of coffee right now. [04:42] So I'd rather not do something twitchy-stupid. [04:42] sproaty: gettext should automatically back to xx, if xx-YY not found [04:42] Dunas: you'll be able to see sizes in the paritioner during install so you shouldn't get to confused. [04:43] Dunas: I guess there is no reason not to disconnect it [04:43] ok, thanks Lint_ - I'll check with wxPython specifically. cheers! [04:43] Ah, alright. It's been around a year since I played around with Linux last, around the time that Win7 went up for its first beta, and I was doing Arch then, so I'm a mite fuzzy on all this still. [04:44] hi, how do i add directories to my runtime linker? the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH isn't working [04:44] wow... granted I've not been to a linux community anything in like 10 years, but back then it was very exclusive with every other comment being "RTFM" [04:44] glad too see that has changed, at least here [04:44] Dunas: The installer for Ubuntu is *much* simpler than that for arch :) [04:44] what /FrontEnd/X11/Dynamic does? [04:45] Jordan_U so I hear. [04:45] hello, anybody experiencing X crashing on login? I'm running the latest jaunty with Intel i945. If I set Option "NoAccel" "True" it works (obviously without glx). Otherwise I fall back to console with a msg saying that i915_dri.so crashed, libglx.so and libc6.so made smth crash... any ideas? [04:45] Hey [04:45] Jordan_U, thanks [04:45] mateusrp: Is this a new problem or has it done this since install? [04:45] need a m/b with onboard sound and grafiics that works out of the box... any suggestions or online reviews, have tried ubuntu forums but they are badly dated...thx [04:45] cancuengt: np [04:46] Jordan_U: new problem. Started happening today, after I updated the sys [04:46] im having a problem with a network card has this error: /etc/network/infetfaces:2:Unknown: Orden desconocida. [04:46] mateusrp: Do you remember what you updated? [04:46] The last is spanish for Unknown order [04:47] Jordan_U: actually nothing [04:47] happened that someone moved the main hd to another server, and tried to make it work just like that [04:47] and as not, returned to original server but, is wrong now [04:47] Jordan_U: not everything. But the intel driver was one of them, and I already knew it might give problems. I downgraded it (as i used to do) but this time it still doesnt work. What concerns me is that libc6 was also upgrade... [04:48] don't start the network [04:49] mateusrp: Just to make sure the upgrade completed completely check that "sudo apt-get -f install" does nothing [04:49] Jordan_U: it did, already tried that [04:50] Jordan_U: i already went through google and the forums.. tried everything they said... only this "noaccel" allows me to login [04:50] mateusrp: When you downgraded did you downgrade both the intel and xserver packages? [04:50] Jordan_U: only intel. The others weren't upgraded, I guess [04:52] mateusrp: Did you check that the xsever wasn't upgraded? ( look at /var/log/dpkg.log ) === mandiri is now known as dilya_manieZ [04:54] Jordan_U: yeah, looks like it upgraded xserver-xorg-core [04:56] mateusrp: Try downgrading xserver-xorg-core to the version that corrosponds to the xserver-xorg-video-intel package you downgraded [04:58] Jordan_U: I can't... In order to get X working, I have to use the 2.4 (not the oficial 2.6, shipped with jaunty) of the intel driver, which requires a PPA repository... [05:00] mateusrp: Ahh, I thought you meant you downgraded to the previous minor release. Much of the intel regression has been fixed with newer intel drivers. You might try using the X updates PPA [05:01] mateusrp: But I don't recommend the crack pushers PPA [05:01] hello all [05:02] Jordan_U: yeah, I know... but I'm running out of options here LOL I was hoping this was some known recent problem that wasn't on the forums yet [05:02] I have a question [05:02] when the computer goes into sleep mode, and returns, all I get is a black screen [05:02] mateusrp: What version of the intel driver are you currently using? [05:03] Jordan_U: 2.4 [05:03] Jordan_U: I'll try the PPA "bleeding edge" 2.7.1 now [05:03] Jordan_U: jaunty is shipped with 2.6 [05:03] when the computer goes into sleep mode, and returns, all I get is a black screen [05:04] Lamez: What graphics card do you have?

[05:05] Jordan_U: oops, 2.9 [05:05] yes sir :) [05:05] or mame [05:06] Lamez: fglrx is known to have suspend issues, try suspending with the open source drivers. If it works you can try some things to work around the problem with fglrx or just stick with the slower open source drivers [05:07] Lamez: And if it still doesn't work we'll at least know one place not to look :) [05:07] okay, I am completly new to ubuntu and the jargon [05:07] what are you telling me to do? [05:08] Lamez: Go do System > Administratin > Hardware Drivers and disable the ATI driver [05:08] ok done [05:08] Lamez: Then log out and back in again ( or reboot ) and try suspending [05:08] any one here can help me why 'sudo shutdown -h now' doesn't shutdown my CPU?

[05:11] Jordan_U, no it just wont shutdown [05:11] Jordan_U, it doens't seem to be doing anything [05:11] q0_0p: Can you still log in and run commands after running shutdown?

[06:18] nemesis1911: It will be disabled by default in the next version of Ubuntu BTW. You aren't the only one to complain about it :) [06:18] cabaro: but how to connect to there vnc? [06:18] * daf3707 测试 [06:18] guys, any help about arpwatch configuration would be helpful. Thanks [06:18] cabaro ssh -Y user@ip ? [06:18] hd409: maybe enable remote connection on windows, then connect using tsclient, works for me [06:18] christiann, that is for bsd? [06:19] hd409: thats to connect to your ubuntu ssh with X enabled [06:19] heyboy, if you ask what the issue you are having and if someone knows the answer Im sure they reply [06:19] !cn | daf3707 [06:19] daf3707: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [06:19] hd409: I've used teamviewer in linux using wine and it worked perfectly for me, if you want to use that :) [06:20] I want to configure arpwatch to log to a separate file [06:20] FireCrotch: thanks ill install wine. [06:20] hd409: i missed what you were trying to accopmlish? [06:20] hd409: connect to remote windows client, or what? [06:20] OK，我的pidgin的irc 登录不上来了，怪 [06:20] cabaro: to access the teamviewer of my windows [06:21] hd409: ok, i'll google teamviewer.. one moment [06:21] cabaro: it's a proprietary remote access program for windows, similar to logmein [06:21] wine is for babies, try virtualbox and use windows as a virtual machine and try your windows apps in the virtual machine [06:22] hd409: why not just use VNC? [06:22] FireCrotch: downloading wine now [06:22] TheRealmezquital: Actually, I would contend that using a VM is the easy way out [06:22] mneptok: you mean install first vnc server in the windows? [06:22] ok, so it handles port forwarding and some security layer as opposed to rdc? [06:22] FireCrotch: i will install first tightvnc in windows? [06:22] yes [06:22] hd409: VNC has far better support in Linux than does Team Viewer [06:23] cabaro: Yes, teamviewer handles the problem of being behind NAT [06:23] mneptok: but the windows is using teamviewer...but i can install tightvnc [06:23] FireCrotch: correct nat issues [06:23] hd409: if you don't want to forward RDC port, then vnc viewer would probably be easiest. [06:23] hd409: you'll find VNC far easier to configure for Linux <--> Windows than TV [06:24] FireCrotch: is it using a middle server or connect using port 80 or what? [06:24] cabaro: it uses a central server [06:25] cabaro: ill install vnc viewer here in my ubuntu 9.04?then install tightvnc server in windows? [06:25] mneptok: the teamviewer viewer works just fine in wine, I use it all the time, and had to do nothing special [06:25] FireCrotch: ok, i would reconsider, if i was dealing with corporate connection. For home use it might be ok. [06:26] cabaro: its encrypted, if I recall correctly, so not that big of an issue [06:26] cabaro: but for a company, yeah, I'd probably set up something better [06:27] FireCrotch: why use an emulation layer when a perfectly good and workable solution exists without one? [06:27] FireCrotch: ok, just always a bit suscept, when going through a middle server. Vpn anyone? [06:27] mneptok: ease of use for the person on the other end [06:28] FireCrotch: depends on someone's familiarity with WINE. [06:28] it's my birthday. does anybody want to give me money? [06:28] mneptok: much easier to tell someone to go to teamviewer.com, click "Start Client" and give me the numbers so I can connect to them [06:28] mneptok: I'm talking about the person whose computer I'm connecting to :) [06:28] hans: here, have this ... [06:28] !offtopic > hans [06:28] hans, please see my private message [06:29] aw, how sweet. thanks mneptok <3 I'll print that out and post it on my bathroom mirror [06:30] bazhang, thanks, but still no luck.....

[06:32] español [06:33] hans: its open ports so no prblem [06:33] sual es el de español [06:33] espaól [06:33] hd409: as long as port 5900 is forwarded to the host machine, so you should be good then. VNC to the IP, and login with password.

[06:36] konversation [06:37] hd409: I'm booted in windows atm, if you give me a second I can reboot into nix [06:37] It is pouring here though [06:37] hans: all i see is plain as face local, local [06:37] Woot [06:37] and my internet is cutting in and out [06:37] Got everything up [06:37] Heck, I even figured out apt-get through the command line and I am loving that [06:37] Let's see [06:37] Flash 10 support? [06:37] loganhoup: you can switch to xchat and write yourself a small script to prevent such annoyance [06:37] where does truecrypt store keyfiles by default? [06:37] BirthdayMav: What language does Xchat use? [06:38] causasui: you choose when you create it, it doesn't have a default [06:38] BirthdayMav ok [06:38] or if it is, it's your home dir [06:38] Bonesy: you can set it to any, but I have it on UTF-8 [06:38] BirthdayMav: I dont remember creating one, but after reinstalling ubuntu, truecrypt is claiming that my password is wrong. I'm sure it is not wrong [06:38] causasui: did you use a password, or keyfile? [06:38] BirthdayMav: Pretty sure it was just password, but the "use Keyfiles" box was checked whenever I mounted it [06:38] BirthdayMav: I meant scripting language :P [06:39] Bonesy: any, or just plain text command [06:39] BirthdayMav: I backed up my home folder from the prevous install, just trying to figure out what I should be looking for if it did create a keyfile [06:39] causasui: if you used a keyfile and lost if, you're screwed. if you used a password, don't mess with the keyfile option, just enter the password [06:39] Also, is there a particular reason to use the GUI over apt-get through the command line? [06:39] causasui: it'd be a text file with no extention [06:39] BirthdayMav: I didnt "lose" the keyfile, I'm asking what I should be looking for. ugh [06:39] BirthdayMav: ALl right [06:40] Bonesy: not really. except for noobs. [06:40] OK, brb, booting into nix so I can help you hd409 [06:40] Bonesy: stick with the CLI. it's the easiest method of remote management. the skills you learn are very valuable. [06:40] Because apt-get is getting me packages the GUI can't seem to find. [06:40] * BirthdayMav screen's [06:40] my only regret is that I can't search package names with the CLI as far as I know.

[06:46] whree is the super key ? [06:46] Geoffrey2: is the hardware switch for wireless set to ? [06:46] wat is super key ? [06:46] OneMillionDollar: it's often the same as the win key [06:46] hd409: I know I know, one second [06:46] hd409: System > Preferences > Remote Desktop [06:47] oh my god [06:47] why they called it super key [06:47] mneptok: not just for ext2 i wanna something that check the driver [06:47] because it's not always the windows key? [06:47] they should just stick to it and called it win key [06:47] OneMillionDollar: because on non-PC keyboards it's not the win key [06:47] mneptok, on the router? no, and the wireless light is lit...plus, my desktop is connecting wirelessly without a hitch [06:47] OneMillionDollar: Windows is a licensed trademark of Microsoft Corporation. all rights reserved. [06:48] my laptop has this wierd behaviour of the screen dimming when on AC power but bright screen when it is running on battery. I would like to change this behaviour .. how can I do it? [06:48] Geoffrey2: no, on the laptop or whatever [06:48] ok thanks bye [06:48] Is there some arcane magic I have to work to get flash 10 running, or is it just apt-get install flashplayer? [06:48] Bonesy: flashplugin-nonfree [06:48] Bonesy: which version of ubuntu are you using? [06:48] Bonesy: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [06:48] mneptok, the Wi/Fi light on the laptop is lit [06:48] lstarnes: 9.04 [06:48] Geoffrey2: what wireless chipset? [06:48] Bonesy: I think flashplugin-nonfree in 9.04 is flash 10 [06:49] P1ro: fsck fixes more than just ext2 [06:49] notsonerdysunny: what happens when you change the brightness and then unplug/replug [06:49] Well, if it's not I'll let you guys know :D [06:49] let me check [06:49] mneptok: it says error no ext2 partition [06:49] hi [06:49] interesting....I hit the key combo to turn the wirelss on/off, the light stayed lit, but now it sees a wireless network..... [06:49] it usually stores whatever you had the brightness by state [06:49] hd409: find it? [06:49] This is really mystifying. I cannot mount my truecrypt volume after a reinstall of ubuntu, even though the password cannot be wrong. [06:50] P1ro: you have to unmount any partitions you want to check. then use fsck.ext3 or fsck.ext4 or whatever [06:50] DigitalKiwi, I can't increase the brightness with the function key on my laptop .. is there any other way to do it? [06:50] I want to copy my playstation game so I may emulate it on my computer wherever I want and not just at home how do I do this on ubuntu 9.04?

[06:51] mneptok, it's one of those glorious Airforce Broadcom AirForce 54g...... [06:51] DigitalKiwi, right now .. the only way for me to increase the brightness is to unplug [06:51] hd409: did you enable remote login in System > Preferences > Remote Desktop ? [06:52] BirthdayMav : there is no "Enable" thing there [06:52] ..out of curiosity, the flashplugin is 32-bit? [06:52] Is there any battery management tool in linux [06:52] Bonesy: I believe so [06:52] Damnation [06:52] Bonesy: no, there is a 64-bit version [06:53] notsonerdysunny: system > preferences > display [06:53] hd409: "Allow others to view your desktop"?

[07:19] DigitalKiwi Dell Vostro 1400 [07:20] hd409, but in my experience remote desktop to control windows is faster than vnc [07:20] man xbacklight btw [07:20] hd409, the screen update faster [07:20] O__o : nope.still no reply [07:20] ? [07:20] (often doesn't work >.> ) [07:21] O__o still no reply on vncviewer ip === dean is now known as Guest32676 [07:21] O__O: connection closed..on remote desktop [07:22] Does anyone know where the skype logs are stored on linux [07:22] DigitalKiwi, I am installing xbacklight ... === Guest32676 is now known as deanc[work[ === deanc[work[ is now known as deanc[work] [07:22] hd409, in windows u need to enable remote desktop and add user in that group [07:22] deanc[work] no it is stored in the skype server [07:22] hd409: can you send me a screen shot of your Remote Login Screen? [07:22] BirthdayMav ok [07:22] hd409, they can't be [07:22] I can view my logs offline [07:23] hi, I reinstalled ubuntu after an HD crash on a new HD but for some reason I noticed this new installation is using too much CPU ... (I am running 9.04 and I was running it before too) it seems like my CPU is always above 60% even when I am not running any big programs (top shows that Xorg is taking a constant 15%!!) [07:23] snowy: Interesting. Any idea what it's doing> [07:23] O__o : i did config win vnc.because i can connect using win to win vnc.even remote and local i can connect .except ubuntu [07:23] htop > top btw [07:24] hd409, i can successfully connect from ubuntu to windows here using vnc [07:24] DigitalKiwi.. as u said .. it is not helping [07:24] can u make screenshot of what your error is? [07:24] snowy: http://omploader.org/vMjgyag htop is at the top [07:24] yes you can read that.but you cannot find it in the logs of your linux.its stored in their server.try disconnect you will never see the logs again.but if you connect to skype you can read it [07:24] is there a certain command that will list all used ip/ports on the system? [07:24] are you 100% sure hd409? Where can I find online documentation about this. [07:24] hd409: I am installing it right now [07:24] hd409: is your windows client machine and linux client machine on same network? windows being the one you could connect from. [07:25] O__o what are you using? 5900 port is default.but still i cannot login :( [07:25] i just use default 5900 [07:25] notsonerdysunny: I really don't know, I don't use gnome (or ubuntu for that matter), and usually dell vostros work...I'm running out of ideas [07:25] deanc[work] yeah im 100%. chat logs are encrypted in skype [07:25] what is .dsc file? [07:25] is it a compressed one? [07:26] deanc[work] : unlike gtalk,ym,aim,msn you can view them if you have server bsd+imspector [07:26] anyone ever change their x settings and then get X11 error: BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)?,?% 0 0 when trying to play video? [07:27] cabaro : yes the same network.i tried differenet network works well with win to win vnc even remote and local works like a charm.except ubuntu to win vnc [07:27] google returns some results for that model + ubuntu + backlight, if you haven't you might look at some of those [07:27] siema [07:27] notsonerdysunny: ^ [07:27] thanks DigitalKiwi, Its not a show stopper .. I will put up with it .. untill I upgrade [07:27] i added a monitor and then i got that error, so i unplugged it - changed the settings back and restarted [07:27] co to za irc? [07:27] jaki temat?:D [07:27] hd409: the command is somthing like /usr/X11%6/bin/X : 0 -br -audit 0 -auth /bar/lib/gdm/L0.Xauth -nolisten tcp vt7 [07:27] though speculation, what was the state of the laptop when you booted (plugged or unplugged) [07:28] snowy : whats this command all about? [07:28] unplugged [07:28] hd409, try other vnc server? [07:28] snowy:$ /usr/X11%6/bin/X : 0 -br -audit 0 -auth /bar/lib/gdm/L0.Xauth -nolisten tcp vt7 [07:28] bash: /usr/X11%6/bin/X: No such file or directory [07:28] hd409@10001:~$ [07:28] boot with it plugged and I'll bet you 5000 internets it works better [07:28] realvnc server or remote desktop in windows [07:28] hd409: that's what htop shows to be using ~15% of the cpu (although the total cpu usage it shows is 60%) [07:28] O__o: i will try realvnc [07:29] Hello Everyone! [07:29] hd409: is there a reason why you don't use RDC connection? [07:29] hd409, did u try xtightvncviewer in ubuntu? [07:29] hd409: err, sorry I thought you were helping me :p [07:30] DigitalKiwi: the command is somthing like /usr/X11%6/bin/X : 0 -br -audit 0 -auth /bar/lib/gdm/L0.Xauth -nolisten tcp vt7 [07:30] \o. [07:30] DigitalKiwi: that's what htop shows to be using ~15% of the cpu (although the total cpu usage it shows is 60%) [07:31] O__o: $ xtightvncviewer ip..still not replying... :( [07:31] you have a typo: /usr/X11R6/bin/X ..... [07:31] hd409: use netcat to troubleshoot - also use verbose connections and check the logs [07:32] hd409: you shouldn't need to install all these applications to get this working, Ubuntu has the stuff out of the box to host and view VNC [07:32] which tightvnc server u installed? version number [07:32] hd409: might be a firewall issue [07:33] mick_laptop: already suggested that to him [07:34] Guys I have a Laptop 2.8ghz Celeron, 256mb memory 40gb hdd. Have installed Xubuntu on but it still runs a bit sluggish after a fresh install. Anyone have any recommendations for a Window Manager? [07:34] if_config: LXDE [07:34] if_config: up the ram [07:35] if_config: make sure you install video drivers first, this will speed up the system lots [07:35] if_config: i see $10 1 GB sticks all over the place now-a-days [07:35] KB1JWQ: the command is somthing like /usr/X11R6/bin/X : 0 -br -audit 0 -auth /bar/lib/gdm/L0.Xauth -nolisten tcp vt7... that's what's eating up my CPU apparently [07:35] hi just wanna know how to share my webcam online thru browser! any ideas what to do to implement this? [07:35] n00b2: as of now, I don't think ubuntu java supports webcams [07:36] BirthdayGoose: what about flash based webcam stuff? [07:36] DigitalKiwi, your suggestion of booting it plugged in worked! thanks a lot :) [07:36] mick_laptop: haven't gotten that to work either (recording facebook video) [07:36] that shouldn't be that hard [07:37] worst comes to worst dump the stream to a file [07:37] notsonerdysunny: yw [07:37] n00b2: I think VLC can do it, not sure [07:37] I wish I would have said that sooner (I saw something about it a while ago but didn't think to mention it >.> ) [07:38] ActionParsnip: shareing a webcam? um no [07:38] anyone knows how to fix the driver for the Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8187 Wireless Adapter??? [07:38] mick_laptop: why not it can take inputs and can broadcast streams of music, so why not. Might be hard but the underlying logic is sound [07:38] So, postfix doesn't seem to work, when I connect to it on telnet, and send the ehlo localhost, I get back "250 ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES" instead of a plainauth request. [07:39] user01: http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=1&PFid=1&Level=6&Conn=5&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false&Downloads=true#RTL8187L [07:39] any other ideas? thanks guys [07:40] hi all, can anyone help me what the command is in terminal to read a txt file? [07:41] !ndis [07:41] Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [07:41] n00b2: over a web browser? try some flash based offerings. otherwise, i'd use amsn (it works the best cross platform) [07:41] or to open a txt file [07:41] Wolfenstein: cat [07:41] Wolfenstein: tail, and some more [07:41] delly what? [07:41] Wolfenstein: cat, nano, vim, less, more, tail,...take your pick [07:41] Wolfenstein: do you want to edit it? [07:41] im looking into realtime streaming thru browser [07:41] Wolfenstein: cat *filename* [07:42] Wolfenstein: that will just display whats inside it. [07:42] n00b2: mick_laptop: http://www.wikihow.com/Stream-Your-Webcam [07:42] mick_laptop, no i just want to see if i can open it cause im having a problem in a script for my eggdrop bot and its telling me that it can't open a file that is in my directory [07:42] ed is the standard text editor btw! [07:42] mick_laptop: it advises VLC, so I'd say, um YES [07:42] i'd have suggested less to just read it (and more is not even really an option, since that should symlink to less) === distrohopper is now known as distro|hoppin [07:43] Wolfenstein: then you have permission issues [07:43] less is more! [07:43] How does one unclaim a particular USB device(non storage/IE: Camera) so it can be used by annother program? [07:43] the same is always different [07:43] Hnn [07:44] Wolfenstein: sounds like permissions, you may be able to see what user the script runs under, then su to that user and cat the file. Or you could just look at the permissions with ls -l and see if theyt are right [07:44] mick_laptop, uh i don't its not protected and its only a txt file and its in a folder for my bot and its only one file that is having issues [07:44] Is there a good reason to avoid installing Amarok on Ubuntu [07:44] iamelite: one way is to see what program is accessing it via fuser and kill the process [07:44] * ActionParsnip does the VM dance [07:44] Wolfenstein: check permissions on the file [07:44] mick_laptop, its a txt file [07:44] Bonesy: you will drag in some KDE libs, but that is really it [07:45] mick_laptop: less and more seem to be different, and not symlinks, on my system [07:45] how can a permission set on a txt file if i can open and whatever through file manager? [07:45] is anything odd about the file that would distinguish it from others? [07:45] is ubuntu different than mine? [07:45] DigitalKiwi: what's up [07:45] delly, Can I assume that means it's not harmful [07:45] wolfenstein: you may have different privs than your bot [07:45] DigitalKiwi: depends on the system [07:46] hello [07:46] sako: hi [07:46] kind of like vi and vim or sh and bash [07:46] Bonesy: Its not harmfull at all, its more like "i don't want those +0,4 sec boot time!" :P [07:46] DigitalKiwi: mine are seperate apps too [07:46] i just installed jaunty and I have no sound [07:46] mb_again_, well theres no permissions set on the file and its only a file that came with a script [07:46] DigitalKiwi: what do you mean is ubuntu different than mine? [07:46] as if it really matters [07:46] well I use arch ofc ;p [07:46] everything seems ok though i can play files and all [07:46] yea [07:46] so ls -l shows rwxrwxrwx ? [07:46] jackalopes are faaassst [07:47] after installing karmic, truecrypt will not mount an encrypted partition even though the password cannot be wrong [07:47] DigitalKiwi: I switched over to Ubuntu for my new job :P.. feels pretty awesome after knowing everything from archlinux and using Ubuntu.. cruise control. [07:47] thanks guys [07:48] sako: lame :( [07:48] why? [07:48] its a digital fruit [07:48] sako: I'm trying to remember what I learned in about half a year of Arch a year ago, it's more fun this way [07:49] no idea how to use fuser, are the processes catagorized in a filesystem heirarchy? [07:49] redo [07:49] well you are probably familiar with my sentiments towards ubuntu ;) [07:49] ok well im able to get the file to open or see whats in the file and i'll just ask my problem with the eggdrop script in a different channel thanks for the help [07:49] like XXX/xxx [07:49] anyone please tell me how to update in bash? [07:49] any command? to update the newly installed packages? [07:49] DigitalKiwi: whatever, it was Ubuntu or OSX [07:49] I am trying to make a driver but I got this errors: http://pastebin.com/d3ff8793a. Anyone has any idea on how to fix this, or what am I missing? [07:49] nic1: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get updrade [07:49] and actually, I am _enjoying_ ubuntu :) [07:49] upgrade sorry not updrade [07:50] i hate the gnome desktop, but i dont hate ubuntu, personal preference [07:50] nic1: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [07:50] I actually love gnome [07:50] tredway: try a different desktop [07:50] tredway: I use LXDE on all my desktop systems [07:50] i like xfce but I just like the bloatage of gnome [07:50] I do enjoy Ubuntu, GNOME is nice and all, it's just kind of strange going from Arch, where I had to do pretty much everything, to Win7, where it did everything, to Ubuntu, where I tell it to do everything and it does it [07:50] * DigitalKiwi doesn't hate gnome but doesn't use it, nor kde, xfce is just gnomes retarded cousin, though [07:50] i like my shit on the bottom, lol [07:50] tredway: i use fluxbox [07:51] How can I pair with a bluetooth device which uses passkeys (not PINs!)? [07:51] tredway: sorry its quite large: http://pud-linux.sourceforge.net/screenshot/pud-lxde-2.jpg [07:52] i am trying to install gtk, it ask for glib, i instaled glib still it asks for glib [07:52] why? === fotioskats is now known as fotios [07:52] im not like;y to investigate any website with pud in its name, hehe [07:52] ActionParsnip: don't even get me started on lxde === fotios is now known as fotios72 [07:52] DigitalKiwi: look out for lubuntu ;) [07:52] recommend me a command line torrent program [07:52] oh god is that an actual distro? [07:53] nic1: are you compiling? If yes, then i guess its because it does not find glib since its name defaultly wrong in ubuntu..? [07:53] dragon, rtorrent [07:53] dragon: rtorrent [07:53] ActionParsnip: lubuntu? [07:53] after installing karmic, truecrypt will not mount an encrypted partition even though the password cannot be wrong [07:53] puduntu? [07:53] isn't crunchbang good enough for people who want that?? [07:53] dragon: yep, its going to be an official release with LXDE as the default desktop [07:53] (lightweight ubuntu) [07:53] dragon, i use rtorrent in combination with screen. it also watches a folder for new .torrents to auto start them [07:53] ActionParsnip: interesting [07:53] DigitalKiwi: its not official, lubuntu is [07:53] JoshuaL: cool, i'll give it a try [07:54] There existings nothing such as a light Ubuntu :P Just "lighter" than Gnome === bbalajirao is now known as heyboy [07:54] I am trying to make a driver but I got this errors: http://pastebin.com/d3ff8793a. Anyone has any idea on how to fix this, or what am I missing? [07:54] DigitalKiwi: theres moonos too which is the same but moonos isnt an official release [07:54] someone needs to make an ubuntu that is just easy to install all these things (but comes with almost nothing) so you can stop having over 9000 distributions [07:54] Guys, is there a howto available for configureing Arpwatch on Ubuntu? [07:55] DigitalKiwi: could say that about linux in general, there are gazillions of distributions [07:55] they call that fundamentalism [07:55] hello [07:55] JoshuaL: I started it through a console and now i'm stuck. Is there a keyboard shortcut that i need to know? [07:55] user01: sadly no...... Did you run the ./bootstrap and all that btw? [07:55] !hi | Wolfcastle [07:55] Wolfcastle: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines. Enjoy your stay! [07:55] I'm having problems with pulseaudio in jaunty [07:55] !sound | Wolfcastle [07:55] Wolfcastle: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [07:56] dragon: ctrl +b then type bg and hit enter (i think its ctrl+b) [07:56] Actually sound works fine after shutting down pulseaudio and restarting alsa [07:56] I have problems with arpwatch in jaunty. it doesn't seem to be working. [07:56] thing is when trying to remove pulseaudio aptitude asks me to remove ubuntu-desktop [07:56] ActionParsnip: well at least with a lot of the different distributions they have a lot more different goals, or setups (different package manager, ideals on inclusion of licensed software) [07:56] Wolfcastle: Its always recommended to remove pulsaudio if it causes problems, package can be found in synaptics and be removed [07:56] ActionParsnip: I'm able to see "load> " upon hitting random keys, but help or quit or bg didn't work there. [07:56] ActionParsnip: Ctrl + b doesn't work either. That's for rtorrent, right? [07:57] ok thanx [07:57] with these ubuntu derivatives, which is just a debian derivative :P, they're pretty much the same, only difference is what the default DE iss [07:57] It's painful that rtorrent isn't responding to SIGINT. [07:57] dragon: ctrl + z sorry, will send it to the backround. It also can have a web interface so is great on servers [07:57] delly, from where should I run it? [07:57] and from what I've seen it's not what I'd call easy to switch to a different one, and upgrading in general seems painful >.> [07:58] ActionParsnip: that's not working either - looks like it's frozen. [07:58] DigitalKiwi: same with lubuntu, it has different goals to kubuntu and ubuntu [07:58] no matter what they are talking about, they are talking about debian [07:58] user01: pretty much where you are compiling :P [07:58] delly, that file is not included [07:58] hey uh [07:58] hi [07:59] user01: so where are you running make then? [07:59] anyone run ubuntu moblin remix? [07:59] I don't know why but when trying to uninstall pulseaudio in synaptic, it shows ubuntu-desktop as a dependency [07:59] how to make a file *.sv executable ? [07:59] ActionParsnip: so "rtorrent -h" revealed some keyboard shortcuts. Still wonder which one to use for exit. [07:59] I dare not remove ubuntu-desktop [07:59] user01: and what does the readme say(if it exists)? [07:59] I should really learn dpkg just so I can further convince myself and support my arguments about what is the better PM =D [07:59] I was just playing around with my sound settings and with alsa mixer and have now accidentally screwed all my sound settings up so now i have now sound. is there some way to reset my sound settings to there default? [07:59] aehm. i mean *.sh === unnamed is now known as Guest482 [07:59] Wolfcastle: you can, its a hollow metapackage [07:59] Hi Im new to IRC and Ubuntu. Im unable to see my index.html from WAN. Im using Dyndns to forward my domain to my router's IP. My router is forwarding port 80 to my servers LAN IP. Any suggestions? [07:59] Wolfcastle: ubuntu-desktop can be safely removed. removing it won't remove the actual desktop packages. just the ubuntu-desktop package [07:59] Wolfcastle: ubuntu-desktop is a meta package, it contains nothing. [07:59] Wolfcastle: you only need it when you want to jump to the next release [07:59] ah excellente, just sounded important [07:59] thanx [08:00] do people name zsh scripts *.zsh, I can't say I've ever seen a zsh script with an extension [08:00] Wolfcastle: it's usually a good thing to keep if you plan to upgrade [08:00] Wolfcastle: Ubuntu core.... or alot of the xorg packages on the other hand :( [08:00] DigitalKiwi: it's usually .sh but with #!/usr/bin/zsh or something similar at the top [08:00] DigitalKiwi: can't see why not if it makes the users life easier :) [08:00] the file extension is moot [08:00] yeah i plan to upgrade....but i guess i can install ubuntu-desktop before upgrading then [08:00] Wolfcastle: exactly ;) [08:00] delly doesnt say much. Just to run the make command, which gives me errors :s [08:01] user01: then your screwd. Did you find it by googeling or by looking up at the forums? [08:01] #!/usr/bin/env zsh (should this work?) I do it with lua scripts just because it's in so many places on different distros or depending on how it was installed >.> [08:02] DigitalKiwi: that should work too [08:02] any other decent command line torrent programs? [08:02] delly, I am trying to install the driver for wireless card rtl8187, and I got the driver from someone here [08:03] thanks ubuntu :) [08:03] dragon: other as opposed to what? [08:03] delly, then, when I try to compile, it returns the errors [08:03] rtorrent [08:03] DigitalKiwi: rtorrent [08:03] :) [08:03] ive got a bit of an issue with mdadm - anyone able to help me out? [08:03] !info transmission-daemon | dragon [08:03] dragon: transmission-daemon (source: transmission): lightweight BitTorrent client (daemon). In component universe, is optional. Version 1.51-0ubuntu3 (jaunty), package size 208 kB, installed size 556 kB [08:03] why, after doing this: sudo chmod u+rwx FILENAME, the file still has the root as owner? [08:03] i created a 20-disk RAID-6 array on ubuntu 9.04 [08:03] Oh i dunno :( someone wants me to rewrite rtorrent in lua and with colors, though, expect that in at least a year >.> [08:03] Hello guys [08:03] if ever [08:03] ActionParsnip: will give it a try, thanks [08:03] user01: very well, i would sugggest to go over to somewhere where the level of knowledge is higher(like archlinux or debian). [08:04] Guest482: chmod does not handle ownership. chown does [08:04] thank you [08:04] dragon: can be used as a service to connect to via web interface again, it can also watch a folder for new torrent files which willbe auto uploded [08:04] delly: giggle, he'll get thrown to the dogs [08:04] Im unable to see my index.html from WAN. Im using Dyndns to forward my domain to my router's IP. My router is forwarding port 80 to my servers LAN IP. Im just getting a "page cannot be displayed" error. When I ping my domain address it gives my routers IP. Any suggestions? [08:04] ActionParsnip: cool [08:04] cbelote: make sure that your router isn't running a webserver that can be seeon from the internet [08:05] *seen [08:05] cbelote: is your ISP blocking port 80 inbound traffic? [08:05] dragon: i use Transmission because it plays nice with my G1 phone :) [08:05] DigitalKiwi: that is true... BUT... do he have a choice? [08:05] most? in the US do, dunno where you are [08:05] set it up to have dyndns point to 8080 [08:05] DigitalKiwi: besides... archlinux is nicer than debian [08:06] It is not. Ive tested using dslreports... [08:06] port 80 is open [08:06] delly: I'm kind of joking, sometimes I've seen #archlinux help people with generic problems even if they're using ubuntu [08:07] cbelote: oh [08:07] ActionParsnip: G1? the web interface? [08:07] Eai [08:07] dragon: g1 phone, android based [08:07] Ive used multiple guides and reinstaled ubuntu server w/ lamp several times [08:08] ActionParsnip: yeah, but how does G1 relate to transmission? [08:08] apt-get upgrade is taking a long time, does that mean many packages to be updated? [08:08] nic1: check its output [08:08] he can use the web interface methinks, dragon [08:09] or some such [08:09] something is letting him control it through his phone [08:09] dragon: i can check my torrents from my phone using an app that connects to the web interface. I can also open a torrent on my phone, it will automatically connect to my server and tell it to download the torrent [08:09] nic1, usually apt-get upgrade will warn you about the package size for downloads [08:09] ActionParsnip: sweet, what's the app called? [08:09] dragon: transdroid [08:10] qual é o irc do ubuntubr ? [08:10] !br | thezzari [08:10] thezzari: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Obrigado. [08:10] dragon: looks like this: http://www.androidfreeware.net/img2/transdroid_remote_torrent_client_android_1.png [08:11] What's this talk about Ubuntu (or maybe just UNR) adopting the Moblin base? Will that extend to locking out non-SSE3 machines? [08:11] ohh..upgrade is installing kde [08:12] tat's y taking long time [08:12] i dont need that [08:12] ActionParsnip: that looks nice. Is it all transmission? [08:12] i can view a webpage via http://localhost but not http:// what do i have to do to allow that? i've tried http://192.168.1.4 but it just times out [08:12] nic1: gksu drags in gnome, so deal with it :P [08:12] shouldnt we wait to upgrade telephone tech until we have something to say? [08:12] ActionParsnip: the daemon, i mean. [08:13] dellly, dint get you [08:13] Install these packages without verification [y/N]? N [08:13] E: Some packages could not be authenticated [08:14] dragon: transmission-daemon if you install transmission on a desktop system it can also be used [08:14] i dont need kde, if i say yes it's going to install kdesktop [08:14] nic1: why do i always get the difficult questions? :( [08:14] ActionParsnip: for some reason i love programs that have split client-server model. [08:14] nic1: you havent imported the GPG keys for one or more of your repositories in sources.list [08:14] ActionParsnip: transmission-daemon is exactly what i needed, thanks! [08:14] nic1: you could remove the packages so that they don't get updated [08:14] dragon: cool [08:15] what program do we have to show our Quality and Signal Strength of WIFI Connection? [08:15] dragon: mpd+ncmpcpp [08:16] if you don't already [08:16] DigitalKiwi: um.. what was that supposed to mean? [08:16] Feelin out of place. Does anybody have a good foolproof guide to setting up apache2 behind a router? [08:16] try apache.com forums [08:17] server/client music mpd = music player daemon, ncmpcpp is ncurses media player client plus plus (C++ rewrite of ncmpc) [08:17] I tried, they pointed me here [08:17] cbelote: What kind of problem are you having? [08:17] n00b2: iwconfig i guess should give alot of information. And conky could show alot if you want that to be running in the background. [08:17] what is the location of sources.list? [08:17] http://omploader.org/vMjgyag lower left is an example of ncmpcpp setu [08:17] p [08:17] unable to see index.html file from wan [08:18] downloading karmic-beta at 2MBps, wow. === pengemis is now known as pengemis|away [08:18] I'm glad people seed Ubuntu well. [08:18] cbelote: Do you have port 80 forwarded to your server machine? [08:19] I'am trying to make a custom ubuntu live cd. I have removed the default kernel for jaunty and updated it but the live still tries to boot the 28.11 kernel [08:19] cbelote: Actually, I have another more important question.... does your index.html page say "I love ubuntu" ? [08:19] nic1: /etc/apt/sources.list [08:19] can I just copy my initd.gz and vmlinux file to casper? [08:19] I do. From Dyndns I have the domain pointed to routers wan IP. Router has port 80n forwarded to Servers LAN ip [08:20] dragon: icecast is supposed to be pretty cool with mpd as well [08:20] It does [08:20] lmao [08:20] cbelote: Then it works :) [08:20] DigitalKiwi: mpd? as in Metropolitan Police Dept? [08:20] wtf' [08:20] dragon: I said what it was a while up [08:20] I'm building the iso with it now but don't want to waste a cd if it is not done that way [08:21] and posted a screenshot of the client I mentioned :P [08:21] cbelote: Were you trying to access it from a computer inside your LAN? [08:21] DigitalKiwi: oh i missed it. For a moment I thought it meant multiple personality disorder [08:21] yep [08:21] roccity_: try booting it with virtualbox ;) [08:21] heh [08:21] cbelote: using the external IP address or domain name? [08:21] roccity_: edit grub? [08:21] domain name [08:21] can i pastebin my sources.list [08:21] can i know what is repetitive? [08:21] ActionParsnip: yeah I have it but tried with other iso that had old kernel and the mouse and x didn't boot to right rez [08:22] cbelote: My router causes problems like that, where it won't be accessible from on the LAN using the domain name [08:22] delly: not using grub using isolinux scripts [08:22] roccity_: you'll need to install the guest additions and edit xorg.conf [08:22] Hi guys. Running ubuntu server, installed gnome-terminal and running it via the X server on another machine. The window doesn't appear to be themed, just the generic defaults. Does anybody know how to set the theme? [08:22] nic1: sure, if someone wants to see it [08:22] nic1: there is pastebinit in the package well, its used with the syntax of " cat *file* | pastebinit" [08:22] so you see that message from cpb3.com? [08:22] DigitalKiwi: mpd looks pretty cool, i'll definitely try it sometime soon [08:22] cbelote: Yep :) [08:22] ActionParsnip: yeah I have that but mouse didn't work so couldn't run script [08:23] delly: or you can just run: pastebinit *file* [08:23] Yay. Stupid Qwest [08:23] ActionParsnip: thats no fun :P [08:23] roccity_: use alt+f2 then you can run terminal and away you go [08:23] DigitalKiwi: and that Lua is something that runs on my photo frame. I'm yet to learn it. [08:23] cbelote: What brand/model of router do you have? [08:23] delly: its shorter though [08:23] Thank you so much fire crotch lol [08:23] ActionParsnip: that uses my host tty [08:23] cbelote: No problem :) [08:23] Actiontec [08:23] delly: you can also (my favourite) pastebinit /etc/X11/xorg.conf | xclip [08:23] pk5000 [08:24] dragon: you were in #lua a while ago weren't you or was that someone else? [08:24] aint much a tomatoe cant handle [08:24] delly: puts the url straight onto clipboard ready for pasting [08:24] cbelote: Oh, I've never heard of them... do you happen to be running dd-wrt on it? [08:24] "the advanced" model. Or so they say [08:24] DigitalKiwi: that was me. were you there too? [08:24] yeah, I was trying to help you :P [08:24] nope [08:24] roccity_: well you'll have to sacrifice it until you get mouse [08:24] DigitalKiwi: yeah i remember now :) [08:24] ActionParsnip: thanks for the tip :P [08:24] Some propietary junk [08:24] dd-wrt and tomatoe [08:24] delly: np, share the love [08:25] was thinking of wiping it and getting tommato [08:25] tomato is nice, never used dd-wrt though [08:25] delly: you may have to install xclip [08:25] ActionParsnip: I'm just gonna try this new build and see what happens [08:25] cbelote: Alright. I don't know why that happens with some routers, and even more confusing is that it doesn't always happen for me, just sometimes [08:25] ActionParsnip: i guess its like xclock and all that, so i guess not [08:25] note to self: tomato is apparently a hard word for other people to spell [08:25] http://paste.ubuntu.com/289106/ [08:25] Does anybody know why my gnome windows running via a remote X server aren't themed? [08:26] I have a seperate IP through my tethered cell [08:26] its even harder to pronounce [08:26] delly: its a small app anyway [08:26] will try there [08:26] forgot about that [08:26] curlpaste > pastebinit [08:26] !info xclip [08:26] xclip (source: xclip): command line interface to X selections. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.08-8 (jaunty), package size 16 kB, installed size 76 kB [08:26] delly: 76kb, woo [08:26] ActionParsnip: another issue settled :P [08:27] not sure what the current status of open-wrt is [08:27] delly: do i win the speedboat? [08:27] Does fakeroot pose a serious security risk? It doesn't ask for the root password... [08:27] ActionParsnip: If this was in the debian section, yes xD [08:27] mo0nykit: it still runs things as a regular user [08:27] delly: hehe [08:28] delly: well i ad a great day, thanks for having me [08:28] :P [08:28] mo0nykit, fake root is exactly that, it fools whatever it is running that it is root, it is used for building certain applications [08:28] FireCrotch: no dice entering fqdn on cell. Still get a 404 [08:28] yay fake root [08:29] sometimes u have to wonder about a software operating system named after a guest spot on a Bob Saget TV series, hehe [08:29] cbelote: that is certainly... interesting. Is it a smartphone with wifi? Maybe it's connected to your wifi? [08:29] I have four hard drives but have no idea where grub's MBR was installed [08:30] lstarnes and mechdave, okay, my mindset is this "fool as root" = "security breach". What could be the difference between fakeroot-ing as a regular user and su-ing as superuser? [08:30] mo0nykit: fakeroot does not make things run as root [08:30] tehbaut: you will most likely find it on the drive you installed ubuntu to [08:30] is the default grub mbr: \NST\nst_grub.mbr ? [08:30] mo0nykit: it just makes the things running under fakeroot think that it's running under root [08:30] if not, maybe that's my problem [08:30] morning [08:30] mo0nykit: but it really runs as your user [08:31] !info fakeroot [08:31] fakeroot (source: fakeroot): Gives a fake root environment.

I get it already "the things running *under*" fakeroot are the ones "fooled". Right? [08:31] mo0nykit: yes [08:31] lstarnes, okay thanks a bunch :) [08:31] FireCrotch: I work a level 2 desk for hp. Hope you get paid well my friend. [08:31] mo0nykit: I think you may have had it backwards before [08:31] tehbaut: the MBR isn't a file, i guess that might be a backup, or a suspend thinger. [08:32] ActionParsnip: I'm trying to get grub onto the ntldr menu via EasyBCD ...but choosing the partition where grub is physically installed doesn't seem to work [08:32] lstarnes, i was thinking that the entire machine was the one being fooled :P [08:32] I'm getting error "The selected entry could not be loaded because the application is missing or corrupt [08:32] tehbaut: you can install grub using the liveCD, doesnt matter which it is installed to as it will still use te same disk numbers [08:32] if the mbr isnt a file, what does the bios point to? [08:33] references that \NST\nst_grub.mbr [08:33] ActionParsnip: but grub is already installed [08:33] I just need to point ntldr to it [08:33] cbelote: So that was the problem? Heh... we all overlook the simple things sometimes :) [08:33] tehbaut: then point your bios at the disk it is on and grub will load [08:33] cbelote: And thanks :D [08:34] tehbaut: why, why not have grub load the windows system with chainloading? [08:34] When I try to apt-get update, i get this error about my GPG: http://paste.ubuntu.com/289109/ ... can anyone offer a suggestion about who to proceed? I just installed easy peasy on my EEE [08:34] mbr has to point to ntldr, not the other way around, if i understabd it right [08:34] understand [08:34] I could, but thought it would be nice to have an entry to get back to grub from ntldr [08:35] tehbaut: Just hit ctrl alt del while in ntldr [08:35] tehbaut: nice, erm, i think you can add to boot.ini to load stuff but ive not done it [08:35] FireCrotch: it was. I hate combo devices. Keep things modular IMO [08:35] Question: If my framebuffer driver does not support 1280x800, can I set my /etc/usplash.conf to use 1280x800 resolution? [08:35] FireCrotch: too slow :P [08:35] supposedly EasyBCD supports entries for grub, I just can't get it working... that's all [08:35] id hate riding a modular bicycle [08:35] http://tinyurl.com/abkfz2 [08:35] I guess giving up is still an option though :P [08:36] hey anyone can help me which I am facing in ubuntu linux [08:36] I meant by "does not support" as "does not support it through the vga= boot option in the kernel command line" [08:36] I have installed ubuntu 9.04 in laptop with virtualbox 3.0.8 [08:36] my log file is filling with this error [08:37] vmap allocation failed: use vmalloc= to increase size.

Have a great night :) [08:37] manohar1: have you fully updated the guest OS? [08:38] menas guestadditions [08:38] they allow long sentences here, but not short sentences [08:38] how do i personalize my "whois" profile? [08:38] ubuntu 9.04 comes with bluetooth [08:38] not short paragraphs, i mean [08:38] but it only allows you to enter in a 4 digit pin for pairing with devices [08:38] bluetooth allows for 13 digit pins [08:39] and i need to enter a bigger pin to pair with my device [08:39] can anyone help [08:39] BalSaq : System -> Preferences -> About Me ? [08:40] manohar1: like get the latest system files from the update manager. or run: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [08:40] whois: oh, so it pulls it from information that i have loaded into my OS? [08:40] did u lose TFM of ur device? [08:41] Hi folks, why this command "date -s 100909402009" returns me invalid date ?? [08:41] Balsaq: not sure, what are you talking about, are you concerned with "whois information" on freenode, if yes, then the appropriate channel is #freenode, and have a look at /msg NickServ HELP SET [08:42] lovely. a IRC bot [08:42] skunx: why the -s ? [08:43] skunx: -s means string, omit -s [08:43] whois: when i click on someones name,2 things appear: 1. whois and 2. query, i want to know how to personalize the whois on myself [08:43] ActionParsnip ok.. seen this in the man [08:43] ActionParsnip, it is to set the system date === SIGSEGV2 is now known as pjm0616 [08:43] was that data supposed to resemble a date? [08:43] ActionParsnip: but without the -s it doesn't do anything [08:43] tredway: yes ? :-) [08:43] hello all [08:43] skunx, you have an invalid date [08:43] mechdave: -s means set time descibed by STRING : http://unixhelp.ed.ac.uk/CGI/man-cgi?date [08:44] Balsaq: it depends on your IRC client [08:44] i got some prob with apt-get please help [08:44] skunx: hmm, gentoo handbook simply uses date with no extra stuff except the data [08:44] ActionParsnip, yep sure does :) [08:44] skunx: run it with sudo.. [08:44] Balsaq : that information cant be personalized, it is pulled from the server, based on your current statistics, however you can alter your account and make a few changes to it, for more information, please join #freenode and ask [08:44] mechdave: 100909402009 wouldn't be october 9 9:40 2009 ? [08:44] tredway: kindly rotate your attitude dial toward "Friendly" [08:45] ActionParsnip: I did it with sudo [08:45] Hi, I can't install guest additions for virtualbox, it says: "Unable to build the kernel module". What's wrong? [08:45] noren: Someone can probably help if you tell us what the problem is :) [08:45] skunx: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=448935 [08:45] skunx: looks like its slightly different [08:45] ActionParsnip: FireCrotch: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m5076adb0 << cant install pyKaroke [08:45] well howdy do FireCrotch wow what a nick how do i know who my irc client is...i do it thru webchat.freenode.net [08:46] noren: never used it, why ask me? [08:46] Balsaq: In that case, you won't be able to customize anything that is returned when someone does a /whois [08:46] ActionParsnip: i got the prob with the apt-get update cud u please see that [08:46] ActionParsnip: well doesn't work [08:46] I mount a samba share with "//server/point /mnt/point cifs credentials=/etc/samba/user,dir_mode=0777,file_mode=0777 0 0" in /etc/fstab, but I don't get read/write permissions. Any ideas? [08:47] date command doesn't change my date! [08:47] noren, if you can explain to us what the problem is we will be more than happy to help [08:47] noren: I believe that the particular mirror you're using is down - someone was having problems with it earlier [08:47] FireCrotch: how to change the mirror [08:47] noren: the repo you have doesnt exist [08:47] mechdave: i am trying to install pyKaroke [08:47] what should I do on an ubuntu server install if the only "graphical" feature I want is many lines of resolution in vim?

[08:48] Balsaq : get a free irc client, webchat.freenode.net is an IRC gateway when you do not have a IRC client, i 'll recommend Xchat,irssi(for linux,windows) or mIRC (for windows) [08:48] repo= repository, not repossesion [08:48] whois i am on ubuntu 904 [08:48] what is the command for a terminal bell in a shell script? [08:48] ActionParsnip: how to change the mirror then [08:49] Balsaq: It does tell us some information about where you're located, yes. [08:49] Balsaq: sudo apt-get install xchat [08:49] KruyKaze: echo -e '\a', I think [08:49] do you have to restart anything after editing /etc/hosts ? [08:49] foofish, thanks [08:50] thanks mneptok how will that improve my chat experience [08:50] FireCrotch can people scan my ports and stuff [08:50] Balsaq: XChat is a far superior client than is the Java web chat app [08:50] KruyKaze, \a [08:50] foofish, i just tested in terminal and it didn't work [08:50] Balsaq: if you need help with xchat, feel free to join us in #xchat [08:50] KruyKaze: I just tested in a terminal (on OS X) and it does [08:50] Balsaq: nope, if you do have a cloak, i ll recommend ya to join #freenode (type "/join #freenode"), a lot of users are keen to help ya there... #ubuntu isnt the appropriate channel, the chan-ops might be a bit angry over us, this channel is only for Ubuntu OS Based Discussion, for IRC-Related Queries, #freenode is recommended [08:50] mneptok is it HD hog or CPU hog [08:50] that come to my ?, is etc/hosts anything it is in is windows? i hate to whine about wine [08:50] faldridge: you set the framebuffer settings in your /boot/grub/menu.ls [08:50] faldridge: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FrameBuffer [08:51] BirthdayGoose ill go there in a bit ty!

[08:51] faldridge: menu.lst* [08:52] Balsaq: Sure, someone could run a port scan, having that information, but in reality, you're likely pretty safe from anyone trying to do anything here [08:52] foofish, yes but i just tested in terminal [08:52] KruyKaze: and your login shell is bash? I think you want to use the builtin echo [08:52] Balsaq : do a free security port scan, from various security and popular anti-vir websites, that way you ll get to know about your opened ports etc. [08:52] hello does ubuntu 9.04 support skype with video call?i have skype intalled its 2.1 beta but i cant video call.i have webcam a4tech [08:53] KruyKaze: does help echo tell you about \a alert (bell) ? [08:53] am being told my question are inappropriate [08:53] Balsaq: you must not be too worried, if you are using Linux and have a basic firewall enabled with not a lot of ports opened, there is not much people can do :) [08:53] foofish, default gnome terminal [08:53] KruyKaze: what if you type echo $0 [08:54] whois ok i have a firewall as part of my internet service [08:54] foofish, ok [08:54] KruyKaze: as in, what does it say when you type that? [08:54] it just says bash [08:54] KruyKaze: good. now type help echo [08:54] Balsaq: do ya have ufw enabled ? [08:55] dunno [08:55] !ufw | Balsaq [08:55] Balsaq: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Uncomplicated_Firewall_ufw), or 'iptables' (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo). GUI applications such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist [08:55] ok thanks [08:55] \a alert (bell) [08:55] i just used the "install restricted hardware drivers" dialog thing to install the ATI driver for my HD3200, and now X is... unusable. how do i revert back to radeon or whatever the default was from tty? [08:55] KruyKaze: ok, so it shoudl work. I guess your terminal is not configured to beep [08:55] Can someone help me partition my hard drive? [08:56] KruyKaze: unless you mistyped the command before. you need the single quotes === jony123 is now known as jony123_brb [08:56] KruyKaze: try it in another terminal, like xterm maybe, or on the console [08:56] ceil : uninstall the driver you recently installed, and install the open-source drivers, and restore xorg.conf , if you have a backup [08:57] foofish, ok [08:57] is 9.10 beta?

[08:58] aplay [08:58] ivysky1981: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [08:58] !info aplay [08:58] Package aplay does not exist in jaunty [08:58] KruyKaze: dunno, probably [08:58] faldridge [08:58] sorry, wrong window [08:58] KruyKaze: but it seems like overkill for a beep in a shell script :P [08:58] foofish: aplay is in alsa-utils [08:59] i think [08:59] good thing I wasn't filling in the password field ;P [08:59] foofish, just a finished burning notification [08:59] ivysky1981: i ll recommend ya to have a look @ www.ubuntuguide.org [08:59] pfeyz: that worked perfectly, thanks so much. [09:00] pfeyz: awesome, np. glad it worked! [09:00] faldridge: woops [09:00] how do i check the processes currently running from cmdline?

[09:02] pfeyz: I don't mind if you need to talk to yourself. I don't even mind if you need to argue with yourself. Just don't lose the argument. :D [09:02] good day everyone ,how write 2 line in a file ? e.g with echo [09:02] alabd: echo -e 'a\nb' >> testfilename [09:03] alabd: or, gedit filename [09:03] thanks foofish [09:03] faldridge: so you're running an X-less system there? [09:03] yep === Tehedra|tower is now known as Tehedra [09:04] it's a test code-deployment server [09:04] pfeyz: might just be embracing CLI :D [09:04] oh ok [09:05] yeah i've been playing around with cli only a bit the past few weeks [09:05] any other applications that can be use for video+chat conference? just like for example yahoo and skype video chat call?

[09:09] I'm trying to change the system date.. the command date won't work.. ntp returns wrong values.. but my timezone is well configured. any hints? [09:09] maco : just builtin pidgin on ubuntu 9.04 [09:09] maco : newest release of ubuntu 9.10 beta?

[09:28] all i see is chat and call joapintio [09:28] all i see is chat and call joapinto [09:28] ActionParsnip, ubuntu is not about failing and getting frustrated [09:28] (last was a little confusing due to a missing part:) When I try to apt-get install php5-dev it tells me the package server for the package shtool is down.

[09:29] joaopinto: but its something he'd never tried, but he went for it and found it was good [09:29] hd409, first do a test call from the options mentu [09:29] skunx:mknod /dev/rtc0 c 254 0 [09:29] joaopinto: and i'm sure there was frustration along the way [09:29] joaopinto: so its exactly the same as trying ekiga [09:30] hello [09:30] skunx, should be, try using ntp to set it eg: sudo ntpdate ntp.ubuntu.com [09:30] joaopinto: and bith are free to try, so why not explore a little [09:30] ActionParsnip, righ, so please try ekiga first, and then suggest it when you know it works as expected [09:30] would you please tell me what this mean [09:30] cp: omitting directory `/host/WINDOWS/system32/config' [09:30] skunx:then ln -s /dev/rtc0 /dev/rtc [09:30] joaopinto: i looked on the site, it said it supports webcam which is a requirement of the user [09:30] skunx, also make sure your locale is set correctly [09:31] mechdave: ok [09:31] ActionParsnip, let's not go OT, I think you got my idea, if you don't like it, just ignore it :) [09:31] gnr: ok I did this [09:31] blackjak, it means that cp skipped that directory, use cp -r to include directories [09:31] skunx:hwclock again [09:31] (okay problem is gone now, thanks) [09:31] 10x [09:31] blackjak, use man cp for more info [09:31] joaopinto: i got your idea, did you get mine :D? [09:32] gnr: same error.. although the file exists in /dev (just checked) [09:32] skunx:mknod /dev/rtc0 c 254 0 then ln -s /dev/rtc0 /dev/rtc right?

(using sudo).. the file are created (checked with ls) and /dev/rtc links to /dev/rtc0 but the error stays the same [09:34] gnr: hwclock: Open of /dev/rtc failed, errno=2: No such file or directory.

[09:45] hi whats the equivalent utorrent in ubuntu? [09:45] stoki: you need lzma [09:45] what do you guys use for torrents?what application?brand or name torrent you used? [09:45] whats lzma [09:45] ?? [09:45] a compression algorithm [09:46] like RAR or zip [09:46] install lzma lzma-dev lzip [09:46] where i find it ?? with.deb ?? [09:46] it's in repositories. sudo apt-get install lzma lzma-dev lzip [09:47] wht is the command to unzip a .dsc file? [09:47] anybody here uses torrent? [09:47] what is best torrent to use on ubuntu 9.04? [09:47] terminal said iyou hawe the newest wersion [09:48] what i shoul do ?? [09:48] nic1: .dsc is a nikon digital negative [09:48] it's not zipped [09:48] stoki: You should just be able to open it with archive manager. [09:48] hd409: I like Transmission, but i don't use torrents a great deal. [09:49] on context menu unpack or open???? [09:49] unpack, i suppose? [09:50] cybersplice: i know that arch need pass but when i unpack it not need why ?? [09:51] stoki: No idea. Might be a bug. [09:51] Does the file open? [09:51] yes [09:51] i see file ...iso [09:51] Does the ISO work? [09:52] i think so [09:52] when i open iso i see folders and exe file [09:52] Then the archive probably wasn't password protected. [09:53] Either that, or the lzma algo can now read your mind. :) [09:53] hm :) [09:54] all files 7z. weight is about 1gb and the unpacked iso is 500mb [09:55] stoki: That's odd. It's possible that it's a bad pack, i suppose. LZMA is very mature these days, works well. [09:55] ok i do cd and i look its working or not [09:55] hi, anyone using Intel 945GM video card? [09:56] one more question [09:56] polsih support for ubuntu is dead now [09:56] Hi all! [09:56] I'm sorry to hear that. [09:56] ank i want to know how can i install windows when i have ubuntu first [09:57] i want install on other usb disk [09:57] I need assistance remounting an ecryptfs home dir. I do have the passphrase but not the signature as I lost my / partition [09:57] stoki: Well. I wouldn't suggest installing Ubuntu and THEN windows, but the other way around. You could install it in a VM i guess, but i'm guessing you're wanting it for games.... [09:57] stoki: windows installation will overwrite your MBR so after installing windows you need to reinstall GRUB [09:58] not for games [09:58] stoki: unless of course if your GRUB is on a different than primary partition [09:58] i have mini dv camcorder and i cant work with it on linux [09:58] ihavent drivers [09:59] stoki: is the dv connected through firewire? [09:59] stoki: Virtal machine software might work out better for you. Look into Sun Virtualbox, for example. [09:59] yes dv>1394 [10:00] cybersplice: true, if you don't mind slower graphics, but that might cause some issues with any camcorder editing softare [10:00] cabaro: True. [10:01] hey guys, how do I make my transparent desktop cube not fade the images on the other side of the cube? I have full transparency all the time and I would like to see the other side clearly. There was some option in compiz that would not fade the cube...what was it? [10:01] thanks guys [10:01] stoki: i remember having problems with a dv tru firewire, there was a conf file somwhere that needed minor edit to work [10:02] coucou :-) [10:02] stoki: this might help https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Firewire [10:03] this virtualbox is one time machine > i must install it when i want use or i installonce for a time [10:03] ivysky1981: compiz, desktop cube, transparent cube tab [10:04] ActionParsnip: I don't understand it... I wanted to split the hard drive, and on the other put windows xp... i dont know how to do that [10:05] ActionParsnip: or you know what, if i could just get cubase x to run on wine, i wouldn't have to do it at all. I installed it on wine, but it didn't run [10:05] stoki: first you install virtualbox, then you can add virtual machines, which you install once and can use when you need [10:06] i can't get fetchmail-daemon to run at startup on 9.04. any ideas? [10:06] OriWB: install XP first but when the partitioner in windows appears only partition part of the drive, leave the rest untouched, ubuntu will then use this and setup the dual boot for you [10:06] stoki: check http://www.virtualbox.org/ [10:06] OriWB: cubase gets a gold rating in appdb: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=11871&iTestingId=29273 [10:07] Cybersplice, so .dsc file doen't it have the souce code of the package? [10:07] ActionParsnip: thanx alot [10:07] stoki: virtualbox is pretty straight forward, it has a simple gui [10:08] anyone know, if virtualbox supports firewire? [10:08] OriWB: install windows first, makes life easier [10:08] ActionParsnip: gotcha [10:08] cabaro: i'd ask in #vbox [10:08] ok, just thought if someone had a yes or no answer [10:10] nic1: All i know is that some of my cameras produce .dsc files and fill them with metadata for importing images into Nikon software. Source files are usually .c i think, but i'm not a developer. :) [10:13] hello?¿?!

[10:41] EvaLuaTe : unzip may work , [10:41] EvaLuaTe ; But you have to install unzip and extract with that .

I just installed UNR on my netbook, switched over to fglrx and ran all upgrades that were displayed (some 200-odd updates).

I'm trying out the beta on my netbook and the first time I set up wireless I selected 'make available to all users'. Maybe this was a bad idea, since for some reason I cannot get dhcp settings to stick. I don't know if the two are actually related, does anyone know about this issue?

I didn't tell you "untar" [11:31] Do you have a DHCP on your LAN? [11:31] Can I install the newest version of ufw on 8.04 LTS?

[11:32] @ zwamkat i now do have an ip there, the one i defined in /etc/network/interfaces with the static option [11:32] ashwini: or you can open them with 'archive manager' which should be the default if you double click them.

[12:43] tavasti, just did it without the space and it says mdadm: /dev/sdg1 not large enough to join array [12:43] tavasti: I'm sorry i dont understand the question. I dont have a partition [12:44] azlon, strange. anything said in 'dmesg' [12:44] Aaron_Wiener-Blo, wait a sec [12:44] tavasti, is there a way to output dmesg to a txt file so i can pastebin it?

I want to start over, as far as configurations are concerned. Would creating a new user, then "cp -la oldUserHome newUserHome" be the way to go? [12:55] when my os goes fast [12:55] travasti: and then at the bottom it says: Hit return to continue [12:55] my screen gets darker and gets back on [12:55] anyone? [12:55] #poland [12:56] Aaron_Wiener-Blo, if find in grub doesn't work, you better get install cd and run it in rescue mode [12:56] fbianconi, would check it asap, thanks!

[12:57] no no [12:57] before it worked [12:57] Aaron_Wiener-Blo, http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu [12:57] i didnt know what i did on the settings [12:57] bazhang, i think mach is having a glitch in his power settings... the screen keeps going dark, then gets bright again [12:57] mach, yeah well so did my car until it stopped working [12:57] its something got to do with settings [12:57] tavasti: thanx a lot [12:57] azlon, you may be correct [12:58] it could be something to do with the process in question temporarily freezing, and ubuntu darkening the frozen window [12:58] CrAzYoNi: by the way, you shouldnt let anyone to write to your server, especially not in a cgi-bin directory [12:58] i know mine does that when firefox chews through too much ram [12:58] mach, when you say 'your os goes fast' what do you mean, ie please give a clear example [12:58] Aaron_Wiener-Blo, you're welcome [12:58] mach, settings should not cause the screen to go dark and then bright again unless the power cord is disconnecting and reconnecting and its dropping to ac power [12:59] any one? [12:59] tavasti: wahts the difference between desktop notebook and server edition? if i have a system 76 laptop i should just get notebook? [12:59] What's the prefered way of configuring a five button mouse? There seem to be a million different ways that you can find Googling [13:00] fbianconi, would care the security asap after I'll get Perl working on my web service.. [13:00] Aaron_Wiener-Blo, desktop is for desktops and normal laptops, notebook is for those laptops with small screens and server is for server and has no gui [13:00] tavasti, finally got my stupid dmesg to post... had to use another site: http://paste-it.net/public/ie02f7f/ [13:00] halitech: thanx. whats considered a small screen? [13:00] fbianconi, now, after I configured my 000-default file & restarted the Apache2 service I'm getting error number 500 when trying to browse to my hello.pl file. [13:01] plus I edited the output you copy-paste me to support both .cgi & .pl file extensions. [13:02] tavasti, could this whole "growing the raid not working" thing have to do with the fact that i am using a RAID controller card (not for the raid, just for the SATA ports) and this new drive that I am trying to add is from the motherboard SATA port?

[13:05] Unknown [13:05] i used to have webmin, but some people say that its not recomended anymore on ubuntu [13:05] !ebox | geboy [13:05] geboy: ebox is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server. It is designed to work with Ubuntu/Debian style configuration management. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/eBox [13:05] Aaron_Wiener-Blo, using linux as hobby and professional since 1994 [13:05] !webmin [13:05] webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. [13:05] lukasz: Press the 'add' button? [13:06] climbing to trees with your arse up is only way to get guru status [13:06] tavasi: wow! ok, so if i wanna get good at it, and maybe work for ubuntu too one day, waht can i do? [13:06] Halitech: isn't ebox is an operating system on its own adapted using ubuntu?

[13:07] geboy, yup sudo apt-get install “^ebox-.*” [13:07] tavasti, ok [13:07] i want to filter out background static in some audio [13:08] how i do please [13:08] whats that black box before and after ^ebox-.* ?

[13:08] geboy, shows as a quote mark and ^ to me [13:09] geboy, yup sudo apt-get install “^ebox-.*” << this is what appears on my screen [13:09] Halitech, just kinda piggybacking on your convo... if i install ebox i can use my linux server as a "router" so to say and share internet with DNS resolution and DHCP easily?

[14:16] Aaron_Wiener-Blo, press reset or recycle power [14:16] ubuntu next version doesnt suporrt 32 bit Pc [14:16] theadmin, add them to your hosts file [14:16] varmont: course it does [14:16] why??? [14:16] varmont, where do you get that from? [14:16] Hailtech: /etc/hosts? How does this file work exactly, i'm not sure. [14:16] varmont: today is not 4.1 [14:17] is there a program to edit .fla files? similiar to adobe flash [14:17] theadmin, you would add 127.0.0.1 [14:17] in ubuntu 9.10 [14:17] varmont: netbooks for one [14:17] Halitech: so... "microsoft.com 127.0.0.1" would do? === jmrodri-gone is now known as jmrodri [14:18] tavasti, http://pastebin.com/d3dc489c7 [14:18] ltcabral: it's called flash4linux -f4l [14:18] theadmin, it should, just use the same format as the current hosts file, actually its 127.0.0.1 microsoft.com [14:18] Oh [14:18] System requirements [14:18] Ubuntu is available for PC, 64-Bit PC and Intel-based Mac architectures. At least 256 MB of RAM is required to run the alternate install CD (384MB of RAM is required to use the live CD based installer). Install requires at least 4 GB of disk space.

[14:18] flyman: thanks [14:18] varmont: and 32bit as well? [14:18] theadmin, add it below where it has 127.0.0.1 localhost and any others that are currently there [14:19] azlon, 'This doesn't look like a partition table', so you have lvm or direct filesystem there [14:19] varmont, PC = 32 bit [14:19] tavasti, is that good or is this something that i need to change? i'm way over my head with this stuff [14:19] wew [14:19] azlon, just need different set of commands [14:20] varmont, did you have a support question? [14:20] PC = 64bits [14:20] azlon, run: pvs ; df -h [14:20] why dosnt suppprt in 32 bit [14:20] PC = personal computer [14:20] varmont: also, if you visit: http://releases.ubuntu.com/karmic/ you 'll see an x86 (aka 32bit) ISO [14:20] :) [14:20] varmont, it does. Please stop repeating [14:20] varmont: it does [14:20] Good afternoon. I'd have a little stupid question : I can't watch a video without a graphic card, is there a way to solve this problem without adding such a card ? Totem and VLC crash when I try to watch a video without a graphic card. When I add one, it works fine, but since the card is a bit too wide for my computer, it's not a good way to solve this problem.

[14:21] hey, i just downloaded and installed ubuntu 9.04, the broadcome wireless didnt work when started up. How would i go about getting it to work? [14:21] Schweiz, you must mean driver not card [14:21] !broadcom | Guest88521 [14:21] Guest88521: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [14:21] look in this http://www.ubuntu.com/products/WhatIsUbuntu/desktopedition [14:21] re my question about the gwibber bug - which is more polite (a) add question to the launchpad ticket (b) ask on MOTU or other mailing list (c) rephrase question 3 different ways on IRC ( ... sorry ... :( ) [14:21] look in this http://www.ubuntu.com/products/WhatIsUbuntu/desktopedition [14:21] varmont: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[14:22] hello,today pidgin refused to login to my yahoo account....I added cn. at the begining of the pager server but it didnt work!any sugestions? [14:22] varmont, let me quote from the page you pasted: "Ubuntu is available for PC, 64-Bit PC and Intel-based Mac architectures." [14:23] my cipset is intelllllll [14:23] varmont: yes, if you click download yuo can get both 32bit and 64bit [14:23] varmont, then you are fine [14:23] ow [14:23] varmont, I guess most of us with 32 bit PCs just think of them as PCs - do you have a 32-bit PC and were you afraid that support for it was dropped ? [14:23] seriusly [14:23] shouldn't run 64bit unless you have more then 3gb of ram for one main reason [14:23] varmont, yes. it is ok [14:24] ^.^ happy me now [14:24] flyman, I'll disagree with that, I run 64bit and I only have 2gig of ram and I find it does run faster then 32bit [14:24] tavasti, i tried running pvs but it isnt installed. tried installing it but it isnt in my repository list [14:24] azlon, then you don't have lvm [14:24] Halitech: in certain circumstances 64bitness caan help (like data transforms (encoding / decoding)) [14:25] azlon, run 'df -h; mount' (normal user is ok, no need for sudo) [14:25] tavasti, ok... should i get lvm? [14:25] ActionParsnip, agreed and I mostly do video encoding [14:25] Halitech: That may be true, I don't disagree but the advantage of running 64bit is if you have large amount of ram, hard drives, etc as 32bit doesn't recognize more than 3GB ram and so on. [14:25] Halitech: I'm using ubuntu 9.04, and I think the card is an old geforce 2. It works fine, but since I'm using a ...err... "flat tower" computer, the card is too wide. The computer cannot close when it is plugged in. When I do not use the graphic card but the mainboard's output, totem and vlc crashes when I open a video (the terminal tells me it is a bad alloc problem). Any idea of what I... [14:25] ...could do ? [14:25] can anybody help i've got an ati radeon xpress200 and want to use an additional sreen with a resolution of 1680x1050 but it seems as my driver doesn't support this resolution [14:25] azlon, lvm would be nice, but that would mean wiping all your data away [14:25] Halitech: then get as many bits as you can [14:26] tavasti, ill do it on the next raid ;) [14:26] Schweiz, did you install the nvidia driver for your card? [14:26] tavasti, http://pastebin.com/d74cfd579 [14:26] ActionParsnip, I do :) [14:26] and i'm using ubuntu 9.04 [14:26] need help, msscorefonts 3 cant cant reach the sourceforge fonts http's [14:28] is Broadcom 4321AG 802.11a/b/g/draf-n WiFi adapater same thing as the BCM4312 802.11b/g - low power ? [14:28] h4ck3rs0nly, I think its msttcorefonts [14:28] Halitech: I don't, and don't think I need to. The card is not the problem, the mainboard's graphic chip is. The card is about one inch too wide for my computer, so I won't use it, therefore I'd like the graphic chip to work correctly. [14:28] azlon, where is your raid, I cannot see such big filesystem or am I blind? [14:28] Schweiz, what is the onboard chip? === Afrix2 is now known as Afrix [14:29] tavasti, its building right now. i unmounted it before growing it... seems a little dangerous to run such operations while mounted [14:29] halitec, check pm [14:29] how do i make /var/www/ accessible, so i can save files there? [14:29] halitech, check pm [14:29] !netsplit [14:29] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show.

[14:30] tavasti, ok... hold on [14:30] h4ck3rs0nly, did you try sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts? [14:30] can anybody help i've got an ati radeon xpress200 and want to use an additional sreen with a resolution of 1680x1050 but it seems as my driver doesn't support this resolution [14:31] anyone know the steps of getting a network card to work if you have the driver? I've done it before but dont remember how. [14:31] eddy: you can make a group, add root and your user to the group, then give group ownership to the new group [14:31] okay [14:31] Halitech: that is a good question. I'll try to search for the specifications of my computer [14:31] bandlo, I don't think the opensource driver supports dual screens with that resolution [14:31] Schweiz, lspci [14:31] tavasti, /dev/md0 /media/ArchiveStorage auto defaults 0 3 [14:31] halitech, no, after I installed ubuntu restricted extras, everytime I install something the prog tries to get fonts or something but it cant [14:31] halitech, takes 5 mins every install [14:31] h4ck3rs0nly, then try that command and see if it installs [14:32] azlon, auto doesn't tell what kind of filesystem there is... [14:32] @ halitech but when i used ubuntu 8.04 it worked quite well with fglrx [14:32] halitech, ok.. [14:32] tavasti, its a NTFS [14:32] Halitech: thank you, I give you the result in one minute [14:32] bandlo, that was in 8.04, 9.04 doesn't use the same version of xorg which is also why the ati driver won't work either [14:33] but when i installed flgrx this time nothing absolutly nothing worked anymore [14:33] halitech, I get the same errors [14:33] so what can i do [14:33] Halitech: I see nothing which looks a vga controller : http://pastebin.com/debf8055 [14:34] bandlo, go back to 8.04 [14:34] halitech, it cant track the hosts [14:34] halitech, from sourceforge [14:34] please give me a better solution than switching to windows where confound it everything always works fine [14:35] Schweiz, line 13 in the post 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV11 [GeForce2 MX/MX 400] (rev a1) [14:35] Schweiz, is the card plugged in right now? [14:35] Halitech: that is the graphic card I'd like not to use, yes [14:35] azlon, then I cannot help you [14:35] bandlo: is it ok in jaunty? [14:35] hello,today pidgin refused to login to my yahoo account....I added cn. at the begining of the pager server but it didnt work!any sugestions? [14:35] Halitech: hmm, it may be hiding the vga controler, I should reboot without the card, shouldn't I ? [14:35] last time I used windows it's version was 3.11, and sure there was no ntfs [14:35] !yahoo [14:35] At the moment there are many pidgin users experiencing problems connecting to Yahoo IM, you can try changing your paging server to cn.scs.msg.yahoo.com (port 5050) and see if that helps. [14:35] tavasti, do what? convert to lvm? [14:35] hmm [14:36] Schweiz, ok, it probably disabled the onboard chip when you plugged it in, shutdown and remove the card, power up and run the same command and post the results [14:36] Halitech: okay, I'm back in a few minutes, thank for your help [14:36] h4ck3rs0nly, site may be down, what address does it say it can't find? [14:36] azlon, check documentation for ntfstools/utils documentation and see if it is possible to grow that filesystem [14:36] how do i grant a group write access?

I have a machine with a single nic, i added a virtual ip address to it and i would like a specific program (firefox & others) to use that virtual ip address (for the purposes on QOS on the router) [14:39] ActionParsnip,well i googled first and i did this,didnt worked [14:39] halitech, all from sourceforge [14:39] h4ck3rs0nly, ok, whats the actual url?

[14:46] bandlo, no, do not install that driver, it doesn't work with 9.04 and the new xorg [14:46] legacy should be workin fine it did with me [14:46] it seems as everybody knows the problem, but noone cares about it [14:46] bandlo, you card is no longer supported by the vendor's driver [14:46] I thing ATI hates linux XD [14:46] bandlo, complain to your vendor, he is the one dropping the support for you [14:47] h4ck3rs0nly, righ, so that's why they provide us a driver... [14:47] under 8.04 it worked quite well [14:47] h4ck3rs0nly - problem fixed :) thanks man :) [14:47] bandlo, its not that no one cares, its just taking time to write new drivers in the opensource community that has the same support as the ati drivers [14:47] bandlo, sure, before ATI decided to not support legacy models [14:47] joaopinto, bad drivers [14:47] bad ATi [14:47] h4ck3rs0nly, I can't complain myself [14:47] problem in setting yahoo account in Empathy: it shows Network Error [14:48] hi, i installed the karmic koala beta and every time that i open an multimedia file the computer bips a little noise...it's normal? [14:48] anyay, let's not get OT [14:48] !karmic | carlosgaldino [14:48] carlosgaldino: Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 29th, 2009 - Karmic is BETA and MAY break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [14:48] joaopinto, I can, just like anyone else [14:48] but badmouthing ati is so fun [14:48] problem in setting yahoo account in Empathy: it shows Network Error [14:48] but why did they change the xserver in a sense that i can't use fglrx anymore [14:48] bandlo, because it was required, it's called, upgrading [14:48] bandlo, which "they" are you talking about? [14:48] joaopinto, what? [14:48] the ubuntu developers [14:49] hey there guys...I was thinking about installing KDE desktop into my Ubuntu Dist. Is this a good idea? Are there any intrinsic issues? [14:49] carlosgaldino, you are on the wrong channel, please join #ubuntu+1 [14:49] bandlo, the ubuntu devs didn't, they had to take what the Xorg deevs gave them to work with [14:49] mikebeecham, nothing special except the extra disk space usage :P [14:49] What is the screen shot tool that will allow you to draw a box around what you want to copy? [14:49] mikebeecham: nothing stopping you at all, go for it [14:49] cdavis, shuttler [14:49] ActionParsnip: will I be able to revert back if I dont like it? [14:49] h4ck3rs0nly: - just cuz it took them a while to get siriously decent drivers for it... building drivers on top of xorg isn't easy, and ati isn't free (like nv) to just disclose any info about thair drivers [14:49] so they are to blame [14:49] cdavis, ops, shutter [14:50] cdavis: theres a snapshot app that runs if you press print screen, you can change the option to be a region [14:50] mikebeecham: sure, just uninstall it like any other app [14:50] bandlo, it was a case of bad timing between ati dropping support and Xorg making changes [14:50] ati was using a lot of licenced (pattanted) components - so just giving all info to the linux com. was imposible [14:50] joaopinto, which server should i join? [14:50] ActionParsnip, how do you set it to select a region ? [14:50] mikebeecham: you could also try xfce or lxde or any of the other desktops [14:50] joaopinto, what name? [14:50] carlosgaldino, is the same server, just a different channel, /join #ubuntu+1 [14:50] ichat, old cards are still not supported like nvidia's ones [14:51] probably well best if i throw away my 22zoll screen [14:51] bandlo, is it a laptop? [14:51] joaopinto, ok, thanks [14:51] yeah and a screen connected [14:51] joaopinto: shutter isn't in the repos, is that right? [14:51] problem in setting yahoo account in Empathy: it shows Network Error, any idea? [14:51] ray__, are you using karmic ? [14:52] cdavis, it is [14:52] ActionParsnip: What is the app name, my print screen button doesn't open a program that will allow a region selection [14:52] cdavis, I mean, I am not sure for jaunty [14:52] bandlo, best option now then would be to downgrade to 8.04 where it does work and wait for new opensource drivers [14:52] ActionParsnip, cdavis I don't thinkg gnome-screenshot allows to do that [14:52] ActionParsnip: I was under the impression that you cant just uninstall it through Synaptics like other packages [14:52] cdavis: joaopinto: its in accessories -> take screen shot [14:52] mikebeecham: sure you can, its a package like anything else [14:52] ActionParsnip, oh, right [14:52] because newer card reside less on patants by others... its easier to build drivers for them... in trueth amd / ati would be wise to just let it rest and put ALL thair time in an foss driver for modern cards [14:53] good morning [14:53] joaopinto: cdavis: once its running you can select "region" and you will have to draw a box round what you want [14:53] hello [14:53] yes but actually everything worked fine under 8.04 and then i got the worst of all ideas to upgrade on 9.04 [14:53] Halitech: I'm back ... and I think I solved the problem. I had problems to connect to freenode, and while waiting, I looked read forums messages about my controler. [14:53] ichat, thats true, but its still not a good thing =p [14:54] h4ck3rs0nly: - not in the short run .... [14:54] mikebeecham: just like updates use packages, installing another desktop uses those, all buntus use the same repos so you can blend between DEs if you wish. Some folks use gnome desktop then install amarok for medi aplayback [14:54] Schweiz, so you got it working? [14:54] guys, this computer has a Via S3 Unichrome Pro video card (onboard) but xorg is using the VESA driver, which is not that good in performance [14:54] Is there any one help me [14:54] Halitech: it seems that by default my computer redirects the video output to something that does not exists. I told VLC to redirect it to Opengl or X11 and it works now. That is strange. It still does not work with totem, but I guess I can live with that. [14:54] how can I make xorg use the correct driver? (no I don't know the name of the correct driver) [14:54] mikebeecham: amarok is kde based but as long as you have space for the qt libs and other fluff that amarok needs you can install it [14:54] ActionParsnip: whilst I appreciate your advise, I wonder what you would make of this then: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome [14:54] I need help guys [14:55] Schweiz, vlc I find it better anyway :) [14:55] where can I at least find the list of drivers? [14:55] My sound is not working [14:55] Is there one has a background in vpn [14:55] i think if there are so deep changes in the xorg they should at least announce it, so i could have reacted on it [14:55] 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03) [14:55] I want to ride vpn [14:55] Halitech, I find it better is geen engels XD [14:55] lspci [14:55] Codec: IDT ID 7603 [14:55] Codec: Generic 11c1 ID 1040 [14:56] mikebeecham: thats because uninstalling kubuntu-deskto pdoes very little, you need to remove the packages it installs [14:56] Hey all [14:56] Just wanted to let you know that you have a new ubuntu user... My co-worker! [14:56] lspci Codec: IDT ID 7603 [14:56] in the old times I could run "xorgconfig" or "xorgsetup" to solve that [14:56] clarjon1, pleased to meet you, even I am a new ubuntu user [14:56] Moved from win2k to ubuntu in one smooth motion :) [14:56] Halitech: yes, me too, but I use totem for reading mp3's. I'm gonna try to open the movie with totem from a remote computer, with ssh. I wonder what it'll do [14:57] Can someone help me? [14:57] help me ?!!

[17:30] dve1231: for the catalyst config utility i mean [17:30] Doonz, how many entries in the server authorized_keys file? i mean, have you tried this many times before? [17:30] starcannon: i know, but its not working, i wanna open it from the CLI === BlouBlou is now known as BlouBlou_ === BlouBlou_ is now known as BlouBlou [17:31] i may have [17:31] shoudl i just delete [17:31] dave1231: i understand, what I need you to do is drag and drop that icon out onto the desktop, then were gonna modify it to run as super user [17:32] starcannon: cant you just say where the file is located? in /usr/bin or something? [17:33] I am trying to setup a ubuntu server at home, is gateway the same as default gateway? The howto says the gateway should be 192.168.0.1 but when I log on my router the default gateway is my public ip [17:33] dave1231: I could if I knew the exact location, but I don't; indeed, we don't need to, just drag drop the icon out and I promise we'll have you rolling in no time [17:34] Doonz, remove the .ssh directory on the client [17:34] dave1231: after icon is on your desktop, Rclick it and select and click properties [17:34] starcannon: and then? === youseeno3hing is now known as youseenothing [17:34] falkinski: The default gateway is the IP addy of your router. [17:34] Doonz, using ubuntu on both server and client? [17:34] dave1231: click on the "launcher" tab, and then under command add (no quotes) gksudo to the beggining of the command [17:35] falkinski: Your router normally has LAN IP of something similar to 192.168.0.1 and then external internet IP. If your internal machine has a LAN number, it's gateway is the LAN IP of the router. [17:35] dave1231 now that icon will launch it with sudo privs, and ask you for your password and you should be able to save your changes [17:35] Guys [17:35] i was trying to install the drivers for my new nvidia card and this is what i got http://pastebin.ca/1607469 would someone take a look at that and tell me where i went wrong ? [17:35] I just booted my computer, and my sound is dead. I am confortable in the cli, but am at a loss as to what steps I should take. I can't get any of the options in the sounds settings to work. [17:35] skrite: the remote system is Ubuntu Server 64bit 9.04 and the Server wich im trying to push the files from is Ubuntu dektop 32bit 9.04 [17:35] I created the livecd but I can't run it with Windows [17:35] genii: So my gateway should be the servers local IP or should it be the public ip? [17:36] Doonz, ok, on the client, remove the .ssh folder ( rm .ssh -R ) [17:36] DaveMustaine: run a live-cd with windows? [17:36] Yeah [17:36] Doonz, make sure you are in your home directory [17:36] dave1231: you'll also notice it gives you the exact location of the command your looking for [17:36] ok the client being the system that is attempted to be connected to [17:36] falkinski: Your gateway is t.he LAN IP of the router. NOT the IP of the server [17:36] Doonz, then type ssh-keygen [17:36] dave1231: if its a graphical app use gksudo instead of sudo [17:36] I have an intel sound card if it helps [17:36] genii: Thx :) [17:37] DaveMustaine: and what have windows to do with a live-cd? [17:37] Oh.. [17:37] Right >_> [17:37] !who | DaveMustaine [17:37] DaveMustaine: 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 :) [17:37] istvan: try running 'alsamixer' in a terminal. is anything muted (indicated with 'MM' at the bottom)? [17:37] Doonz, after doing the ssh-keygen, just hit enter when it asks you for passwords and stuff, just keep hitting enter till done [17:37] i was trying to install the drivers for my new nvidia card and this is what i got http://pastebin.ca/1607469 would someone take a look at that and tell me where i went wrong ? [17:37] Now I set the cd drive to boot from cd ubuntu [17:38] But nothing happened.. [17:38] skrite: done and done [17:38] falkinski: A standard way is to forward port from external internet IP on router to internal LAN IP of your server [17:38] dave1231: did that fix you up? [17:38] MenZa, yeah, but not the front. how can I un-mute those tho while I'm at it? [17:38] Doonz, ok now do ssh-copy-id -i .ssh/id_rsa.pub user@server.com [17:39] istvan: I believe "m" will do it [17:39] it will ask for a password [17:39] starcannon: but the problem is if i change things, it wont change, for example after a resolution change [17:39] istvan: I haven't been on a Linux system in a while [17:39] sometimes takes a little bit too [17:39] Can nyone tel a better way of file sharing than http://thewebmonkey.wordpress.com/2009/10/09/sharing-files-and-folders-from-ubuntu-pc-with-windows-network-support/ [17:39] dhcpd.conf question : how do you remove an IP addy from the pool , is there a satement one can use ? I have just included two range statements and skipped it [17:39] --> iceroot <-- This pc doesn't boot from cd [17:39] I think >_> [17:39] istvan: I'm not an expert on sound (quite the contrary), but this is known to fix a lot of problems :) [17:39] skrite: ok done [17:39] yeah, i just un-muted them all [17:39] DaveMustaine: you have select "boot from cd"? any errors?

[17:40] Sharing files and folders from Ubuntu with Windows Network Support http://bit.ly/Hbf4m Can nyone tel me a better way? [17:40] In my bios [17:40] starcannon: for your help [17:40] dave1231 if you added gksudo to the beggining of the command it should remember changes, if you still want to run it from command line, you can find the exact location of the command by looking at the command under the icons properties and in the launcher tab [17:40] dave1231: any time [17:40] Doonz, ok, the terminal might have said something about trying it out, just do ssh user@server.com [17:40] MenZa, no, still quiet [17:40] !who | DaveMustaine [17:40] you should be able to get in without a password this time [17:40] istvan: oh :(. sorry that didn't help. [17:40] mja: Install Samba, then you should see a "share directory" option in the file browser. (But I wouldn't call it a "better" way...) [17:41] iceroot in my bios there isn't a "boot from cd" thing.. [17:41] and if I mute the computer the hiss goes away... [17:41] DaveMustaine: of course there is [17:41] istvan: you can try fiddling with your snd-hda-intel settings (the kernel module you're likely using). that did it for me. try looking here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=314383 [17:41] *question* how do i apply a sound theme i downloaded from gnome??? [17:41] istvan: I'm afraid that's as far as my knowledge goes :( [17:41] DaveMustaine: elsewhere you cant install an os [17:41] dave1231: also worth using to locate things is find: a simple use would be "cd /" then "sudo find . -name *ati*" that will get you a lot of results you don't want, but it should also spit out the location of the ati config utility for instance [17:41] Maybe with the boot order [17:41] ok, thanks! [17:41] skrite: awesome it worked [17:41] grawity: Den can I share files as easy as in windows [17:41] !samba | mja [17:41] mja: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments.

But I don't know how to set it because I selected the drive I am using [17:43] falkinski: broadcast should be 192.168.1.255 but otherwise looks OK.

[19:11] DaveMustaine- burn the cd and go back in bios and fix boot order to cdrom and boot the ubuntu cd... should work fine [19:11] starcannon: So I ssh into the machine, start wget and exit [19:11] >_> I'll try.. [19:12] mkilo: command line's the future [19:12] DaveMustaine- if its a combo cd/dvd pick that [19:12] hi - what is the way in linux/ubuntu to cut a video using parallel recorded video-files from several cameras? [19:12] --> Xcell <-- What? [19:12] Hi, I am trying to build some device drivers but I get the error: asm/io.h: No such file or directory [19:13] * Xcell goes for coffee brb [19:13] for whom? I mean I personally like the interface of command line, but the general public likes the pretty atmosphere of guis and buttons. [19:13] DaveMustaine: Does your motherboard have a Marvell SATA controller that also operates the onboard IDE? (Asus P5K series for example). Booting from CD on these is problemmatic [19:13] mkilo: [19:13] kavurt meet me in the pm channel I'll walk you through the process of getting the firefox plugin to work [19:13] I don't know [19:13] But on my bios boot order I saw Ide things.. [19:14] IDE things* [19:14] GUI generally tends to slow you down. Once you're on a keyboard, things start getting done even faster. But that's a different argument altogether [19:14] also, can someone tell me if its possible to easily load balance between 3 of my ethernet controllers each having 256kbps both ways ? [19:14] kavurt: start by going here and downloading the .DEB file on the small text link under the "Download RealPlayer" button http://www.real.com/linux?src=realhome_linux_bb_0_1_1_0_0_3_0&pcode=rn&opage=realhome_linux_bb [19:14] Dual monitor support on ubuntu? help anyone? === arand_ is now known as arand [19:14] --> genii <-- There are IDE things on my bios boot order.. [19:14] I am building a web server with Ubuntu. By default /var/www is owned by root. Can I change this or will that cause apache to not work? [19:15] MadCamper : Doesn't it work out of the box [19:15] ya, I agree. like I said, I like text interfaces. But the general public likes guis and pretty pictures. [19:15] ? [19:15] not the setup [19:15] kavurt: then install it by double clicking on it and following along with the instructions. When thats done come on back and I'll hook you up with getting the plugins working in Firefox [19:15] it worked on XP, but using nvidia confg settings it wont let me [19:15] --> genii <-- If you know how to help me, I will love you <3 [19:15] maestrojed: apache's user is www-data and /var/www and everything in it should be owned by www-data [19:15] MadCaOh, nvidia. Sorr [19:15] starcannon: I'm trying, thanks [19:16] MadCamper: Did you check on the internet? [19:16] ya i looked, but the steps they said didnt work for me [19:16] DaveMustaine: If you have an external CD drive I'd suggest trying to boot the CD from that [19:16] External cd drive? O.o [19:17] fccf: ok cool, what that something I should have set up? I just installed apache and everything is owned by root. [19:17] mkilo: Meh to the general public. Anyways, try wget and tell me how it comes along [19:17] Madcamper: One sec [19:17] is there no "clean" font on ubuntu? [19:17] maestrojed: how did you install apache? [19:17] about openign a terminal, "sudo mv -i /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup, sudo touch /etc/X11/xorg.conf, sudo nvidia-settings and hten hit save configurations [19:18] allen: I will, and thanks. Once I get more comfortable with the OS I'll delve into the command-line structure. [19:18] only on day 2 ;) [19:18] fcct using synaptic package manager, I installed apache2 and all needed support packages [19:18] kavurt: heres a link to the commands you need to get the Firefox plugin working http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m42e403d3 [19:18] speaking of which, can anyone recommend an FTP client? I was using filezilla, but I guess that is not the most popular anymore? or am I mistaken? [19:19] mkilo: Why do you need to use the most popular client? Just use the client you like the best. [19:19] mkilo: Filezilla on linux [19:19] mkilo: GNOME has FTP support integrated. And gftp seems to be nice too. [19:19] I want to give up MS Windows. but...because of my job,I had to use it... [19:19] mkilo: try fireftp its a nice firefox plugin [19:19] maestrojed: ok, yeah, provided that the dpkg script did what it was supposed to it should have created the system user account for www-data, what version of ubuntu? [19:19] Madcamper : Did you try this : http://librenix.com/?inode=10596? [19:19] I prefer fireftp plugin for FF [19:19] any rsync gurus around, need help with getting this set up to work http://pastebin.com/d6532273e [19:19] * grawity prefers ftpfs [19:19] no i did not [19:19] Madcamper: http://librenix.com/?inode=10596 [19:20] grawity: thatnx for the help [19:20] Madcamper: The first link was malformed [19:20] starcannon: thanks [19:20] Doonz: um. ? [19:20] kavurt: anytime [19:20] Madcamper: [19:20] the second one [19:20] and I wander, Did you ever use MS Windows ? [19:20] fccf: I am pretty new to Ubuntu where do you look up the version number? It is the stable release. [19:20] genii don't have an external cd drive [19:20] I have another pc [19:20] pici: I tend to run with the crowd. I run on the assumption that the most popular is statistically the most viable, the most intuitive, and/or the most compatible [19:20] But not an external drive [19:20] besides: I like to broaden my horizens ;) [19:20] gonna have a look at it, thx === kai_62656|away is now known as kai_62656 [19:21] maestrojed: lsb_release -a .. in terminal [19:21] maestrojed you can see what version of Ubuntu your running by looking in System>About Ubuntu , it'll be in the second paragraph [19:21] fccf 9.04 [19:21] Hello, I am trying to dgst -sha1 to hash some input from stdin - how do I terminate the input? Probably sending EOF will do it, but I don't know how to do that. [19:21] starcannon: Thx glad to know the gui way too! === Aurdal_ is now known as Aurdal [19:22] maestrojed: I like my command line ... you should be good to go [19:22] DaveMustaine: Ah. The reason being that the driver for usb CD drive works to install this way when the onboard/internal chipset doesn't work right. [19:22] fccf: so you think I should chown on /var/www ? [19:22] fccf: yep the command gives way more details, I like that better too, thanks :) [19:22] oops [19:22] i'm back [19:22] does gnome-terminal not source ~/.profile? [19:23] fccf: because it is working now with root as the owner and group. [19:23] I've got a strange problem - I don't know how or when this started, but on one of my boxes, OpenOffice looks like it's using a different Windows manager, and I don't know how to switch it back - I put a screenshot at http://snapixel.com/b/14e6 [19:23] genii don't have an external drive.. What do I have to do then? =( [19:23] sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx it says package nvidia-glx has no installation candiadate, you should explicitly select one to install [19:23] hi - ive checked with lve cd whether i can mount my fully encty[ted hd (using altarnate cd) and while doing that i couldnt see any hard drive - is that means its encrypted? [19:23] Ya the only reason I mentioned the FTP client is that Filezilla got only one star in the "Add/Remoxe Apllications" program [19:23] Madcamper :That's weird [19:23] DaveMustaine: You have 1 box already running Ubuntu, yes? [19:23] One sec [19:23] jdfoote1, that's the theme, not the windows manager [19:23] hey, are there any ubuntu install images that I can put on usb storage instead of burning to cd? [19:24] --> genii <-- Nope, dude. Three pc = Vista, Xp , XP [19:24] Madcamper: [19:24] im installing the 180, i think i had 171 or w/e before [19:24] joaopinto, how can I change it? It doesn't match the rest of my windows... [19:24] Madcamper: [19:24] me [19:24] madcamper: pm me === hellfire is now known as ctrlesc [19:24] I need Ubuntu on one of my pcs [19:24] hy [19:25] joaopinto, it almost looks like it's running in WINE [19:25] DaveMustaine: Hm. Because if an ubuntu box already was there, could do the PXE booting way [19:25] hy i realy whana instal phpmyadmin and i cant [19:25] genii explain me dude. [19:25] need some help:(( [19:25] serveur 88.191.69.87 [19:25] jdfoote1, you are launching it using the regular office category, right ? [19:25] DaveMustaine: PXE booting is when the PC boots from the network [19:26] joaopinto, yes [19:26] just to make sure you are not usinga wined oo you installed somewhoe :P [19:26] serveur/ 88.191.69.87 [19:26] No - it's installed through the repos [19:26] arthur: /server whatever [19:26] genii the pc I want to boot hasn't connection [19:26] DaveMustaine: It has no ethernet adapter? [19:26] joaopinto, it might have started when I installed 3.0 from the PPA repositories, but since then I've been using the Ubuntu repos to update, etc., and even remove the PPA repo [19:27] genii nope. [19:27] Hm [19:27] hi, genii [19:27] * genii hands ctrlesc a coffee [19:27] jdfoote1, oh, that would explain it [19:28] fccf: What do you think? Should I "chown -R www-data /var/www" [19:28] genii trying a stupid thing : opening the ISO with Daemon Tools then install into Windows [19:28] hi - what is the way in linux/ubuntu to cut a video using parallel recorded video-files from several cameras? [19:28] jdfoote1, have you tried to run it from a different account ? to make sure ooo3 didn't changed some theme settings ? [19:28] It's a mess, but who cares lol :O [19:28] joaopinto, since then I believe I uninstalled and reinstalled OOo from the Ubuntu repos... [19:28] Joaopinto, that's a good idea - I can try that [19:28] jdfoote1, did you purge the old install ? [19:28] i have dual displays, how do i make the top and bottom panels span both displays in gnome? [19:28] maestrojed: yeah, depending on what you are doing, some CMS's need write access to /var/www and in order to do that it has to be chown'd by www-data, if it is just static HTML, i see no real problem with root being the owner, provided you are using a chmod of like 644 [19:28] not just remove, purge [19:28] DaveMustaine: So it begins to boot, then goes black-screen? Or what exactly (behaves as no CD is there at all and goes to HD, does boot but at point XYZ fails, etc) [19:29] joaopinto, no, how do I do that? [19:29] jdfoote1, sudo apt-get purge package [19:29] --> genii <-- It loads Windows XP [19:29] jdfoote1, system config files are not removed with a regular remove [19:29] joaopinto, I'll try that now - thanks! [19:29] genii it doesn't read the cd before windows starts working [19:29] joaopinto, ah, that makes sense [19:29] With Windows I can see the cd content [19:29] can someone tell me how to loadbalance between 2-3 ethernet cards which i have ? [19:30] genii but I can't open .exe files [19:30] joaopinto, do you know if it would be possible to just remove the config files, and let ooo recreate them? Or will that mess things up? [19:30] fccf: ok, I don't think the CMS issues will exist. I am setting up SMB now to write to this folder and was setting the force user setting when I realized all that was owned by root. Seemed odd and I appreciate the help and conversation. Thanks! [19:30] DaveMustaine: Sounds like CD is borked [19:30] jdfoote1, you could do that, if you know which is the config dir [19:30] should be .ooosomething :P [19:30] just rename it [19:31] --> genii <-- CD drive or the CD i burned? [19:31] grrr... panels! work how i want you too! [19:31] DaveMustaine: Since you can view CD contents, drive is likely OK. So this leaves the CD itself [19:31] --> genii <-- View, but not open. [19:31] maestrojed: it might be easier w/samba if you used your user, that way you would have write access to /var/www from the network without any special permissioning [19:31] --> genii <-- On my other pcs it works fine, the cd. [19:32] Hi [19:32] !hi | gidna [19:32] How can I view swf files? [19:32] gidna: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines. Enjoy your stay! [19:32] fccf: Cool, as long as Apache doesn't care that all those files are owned by %username that would be the easiest [19:33] gidna: Do you have flashplayer installed for your web browser? [19:33] grrr, why can i not get a panel on my second display? [19:33] hmm, seems i'll have to search elsewhere to look up load balancing, can someone point me in the right direction? also, the networkmanager applet seems to not work properly for me [19:33] never actually connects to the manually specified ip address i tell it to :( [19:33] hello [19:33] maestrojed: provided the files are readable by everyone, apache won't care [19:33] yes with the browser I can see those files but I can't zoom.. and I have to open them once a time [19:33] gidna rightclick on the .swf and open with firefox should do it [19:33] hi can someone tell me how to upgrade my ubuntu 9.0.4 version to 9.10 beta using the iso file ? [19:34] nm sorry too late [19:34] can i update my ubuntu 9.04 to 9.10 ? [19:34] moflea Hadi : Please join #ubuntu+1 for Karmic/9.10 support/discussion.

Do I have to open the main box? [19:34] ty [19:34] Does Ubuntu ship the opnjdk java plugin by default? Installed, or have to install it? [19:34] i can wait. I don't wanna to try beta [19:35] Aurus: you have to install it .. it is called sun-java6-jdk and sun-java6-plugin ... you will also need the bin [19:35] realy no one now how to instal phpmyadmin? [19:36] genii,excuse me, Could I have a private conversation with you? [19:36] --> genii <-- You there, mate? [19:36] dementor: sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin ... more help in #phpmyadmin [19:36] fccf: My question was if the openjdk one is the plugin shipped, not the Sun one [19:36] dont work [19:36] i try theat [19:36] !work | dementor [19:36] dementor: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. [19:37] Hello, I need help running Java plugin in seamonkey, this didn't work in 9.04 and doesn't work in 9.10 beta either (so this channel should be ok as 9.04 had same problem for me). I'm using sun-java packages. In firefox everything runs fine. I tried crating a symlink in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins to my libnpjp2.so file. After this the java plugin is listed in seamonkey in about:plugins but no... [19:37] ...java applets will load yet. [19:37] this channel is completely useless [19:38] so, anyone here with dual displays get the gnome panels to extend to the second display?

I am trying to backup a server that mainly holds files for my wife's graphic design business. I am thinking that backup via tar would be bad for size, so that leaves rsync based, I guess. I would really like for it to work much like timemachine in respect to how it holds the backups. I don't care much about the fancy gui, but then my wife could also do simple recoveries.

[19:54] So if I want it to advise me of and event like "nvclock -m 400.00 [19:54] nvclock -n 375.00 [19:54] nvclock -s" I do that how? [19:54] so which backup would you guys personally recommend of this situation, Unfortunately her files are huge and we have to back them all up, all the time.... :(. I am kinda diggin the https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem/SimpleBackupSuite of those recommended by ubottu [19:55] <_UsUrPeR_> fccf: nm, got it [19:55] allenbradley? [19:55] _UsUrPeR_: I fig'd you would fig'u'd it out [19:55] alant: I'm reading about nvclock right now [19:55] ok [19:56] bin1010: Have you considered using tar.gz to compress the files?

[19:57] alant: am I right so dar? [19:57] my first backup was tar, then I moved to flyback, but flyback wont work anymore [19:58] allenbradley nvclock is a command that allows me to overclock my nvidia card [19:58] I want it to do that on start up [19:58] Now to install Ubuntu and delete windows? [19:58] What do I have to do? [19:58] alant: yes. When you type nvclock, does the shell still have control? [19:58] I want a window to advise of the event [19:58] can anyone recommend a tool to keep an ssh reverse tunnel open? i tried autossh but had trouble with it [19:59] that nvclock is fired up? [19:59] yes the shell has control [19:59] in a bash script, im reading an external conf file, what line would I place in the do statement to place the lines text into a variable? so if the first line of file.conf is 'foo' it stores 'foo' into a variable so i can manipulate it in the script? (not modifying the actual conf file) [19:59] bin1010: Hm... Well, a good solution would be writing the backup to a tape and change the tapes daily [19:59] Uf the shell still has control, my idea might not work === Guest22471 is now known as Caliginous [20:00] alllenbrdley that is exactly the issue [20:00] yeah, but we are talking just under a ~1.5 TB for full backup...so I thought rsync would prolly work better for this situation [20:00] alant: Hope someone else can help with this [20:00] is there a pre-canned solution to run scripts when specific hosts come up/go down? I'd like to run rsync for additional backup resilience but the machine I want to backup to is not permanently on line.

[22:28] satellite-sabat: and it does say Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher is required to use all the functionality of this site. [22:28] Yes, Opera allows one to enter text in the l/p fields. Beyond that I can't help ya.

The message "checking for Xgl: not present" is simply an informational message, not an error. [22:30] biv_: apt-cache search libxslt to find the correct package name...

If you need it urgently you can look at professional support from companies like canonical [23:06] peol: in the terminal? [23:06] try google.

[23:25] i cant delete or make directories ... [23:25] simple filesystem operations [23:25] h3rb3r7: what user are you logging in as? [23:25] the open office dictionarys are not possible to get today, due to the extension site being closed down. any other place i can get these? [23:26] peol: ok i think they are unmuted [23:26] is anyone familiar with installing world of warcraft via wine? I just did so and it installed fine, but when I open it, I can hear everything but see no visuals and my desktop looks as if nothing happened... however there are dragons and choirs blairing out at me from the opening sequence... so it's definitely running... I just can't find it anywhere.... any ideas? [23:26] the same as i am loggin in on the ubuntu machine [23:26] peol: but still nothings playing [23:26] kilo, run it with -opengl switch [23:26] NOTHatingUbuntu: You can tell my looking at the bottom of them, if there's "00" they are unmuted, "MM" means they are muted [23:26] kilo, ie wine WoW.exe -opengl [23:26] mralexandro: they are in the repositroies, openoffice-languagepack ' s plural [23:26] from terminal? [23:26] Beria: ... ? any progress ? [23:27] fccf, thanks! :D [23:27] no.. [23:27] h3rb3r7, you need to enable root account to be able to create directories in / with scp [23:27] erUSUL: i belive she doesn't know how to do the « curl http://www.kegel.com/wine/winetricks > /tmp/winetricks » [23:27] kilo, if you have compiz enabled right now try turning it off and trying again -- other then that you might want to ask in the wine channel. [23:27] Beria: so the last command did not work ? [23:27] peol: thats what i thought, they are all unmuted now [23:27] Hey everyone just have a quick question, I'm working in a techlab at the moment and I am trying to boot to a USB running UNR on an iMac. So far the steps I've tried only seem to work for a Macbook. What can I try to boot to the USB? [23:27] ok, thanks all [23:27] kilo, yes, cd /path/to/where/WoW/installed [23:27] I didn't do that, I do not know where do [23:27] Beria: is a command in terminal just like the one we did first. Open aplications>accesories>terminal [23:27] kilo, and then wine WoW.exe -opengl [23:28] mralexandro: openoffice-l10n-xx are the files [23:28] NOTHatingUbuntu: And volume up also? If so, try running pulseaudio -k; sleep 1; pulseaudio -vvvv [23:28] Kilo you trying to install wow with the dvds? [23:28] ok, pendrive experts, I've installed 9.04 live on a pendrive with Unetbootin the whole pendrive is one partition with a casper folder in it. Is this persistent? [23:28] Beria: opened the terminal ? [23:28] NOTHatingUbuntu: Wait with that for a sec [23:28] yes [23:28] fccf, is that spelling controll? === thiago_ is now known as t4g [23:28] peol: ok [23:29] naw, I just copied the files over [23:29] Beria: ok; good back to first command « sudo aptitude install wine curl » [23:29] anyone? [23:29] it worked great until the update completed [23:29] Beria: type what is between the «» and press enter [23:29] NOTHatingUbuntu: Try pulseaudio -k; sleep 1; pulseaudio -vvvv > pulse.log 2>&1 [23:29] mralexandro: you want myspell-xx for dictionaries for languages [23:29] and now, like I said, there is no error... I can hear it running... just no visuals... at all. and no indication on the task bar that it's running [23:29] Beria: the two programs will be installed in your system [23:30] got a question. i have a folder. it has uh about 80,000 files in that one folder. mostly images that are like 25k or less each. rm command cant handle so many files. how do i mass delete all of them? [23:30] The Terminal is downloading something [23:30] usser_: how to enable root account? [23:30] NOTHatingUbuntu: Let that run for a few seconds, then press CTRL+C and open up the pulse.log file, and pastebin that [23:30] so I wouldn't even know how to force-quit without rebooting [23:30] anyone can share a working source list? I can't even install mysql atm [23:30] Beria: wait till it finish [23:30] h3rb3r7, sudo passwd [23:30] Hi [23:30] Moofius: just rm the sources.list and run System>admin>software sources [23:30] I mean that does sound kinda odd... I know it's running, but I can't force-quit it [23:30] Hello, what application can i install to configure the desktop effects ? [23:30] h3rb3r7, and you have to tell ssh to let root login, in /etc/ssh/sshd_config set allowRootLogin to yes [23:30] fccf, thanks [23:30] erUSUL: I'm not using a gui [23:31] any ideas on the how to delete so many files? [23:31] kalcifur: consider rm a* .... rm b* ... rm c* ... alphabeticlly [23:31] I still have that problem that my Ubuntu performance is pretty low if I don't boot windows first and then restart to boot Ubuntu [23:31] LordDarth, configcompiz-settings-manager, or something like that.

[23:41] Note: command 'wine /home/beria/.winetrickscache/dotnet20/dotnetfx.exe /q /c:install.exe /q' returned status 25. Aborting. [23:41] What is the status 25?

[23:43] Executing wine /home/beria/.winetrickscache/dotnet20/dotnetfx.exe /q /c:install.exe /q [23:43] freeze am running ubuntu in virtualbox with windows host [23:43] That, erUSUL [23:43] fccf: you bet [23:43] freeze, I'm running UNR on an old 700 series EEE - but just ask whatever your question is to that channel. [23:43] hey guys...so i set my ubuntu box up as a server and want to be able to remote desktop in...everything works fine if there is a monitor hooked to the ubuntu box, however if i disconnect the monitor and reboot it goes to CLI and I am unable to login using tight vnc....any solutions [23:43] fccf: all we have is intel [23:43] Beria: that happens when you did sh /tmp/winetricks -q tahoma liberation ie6 gecko dotnet20 msi2 fontfix mono22 allfonts ?? [23:44] ! ubuntu chat [23:44] Sorry, I don't know anything about ubuntu chat [23:44] ! ubuntu off topic [23:44] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [23:44] ubuntuman: Looking for #ubuntu-offtopic ? [23:44] ubuntuman #ubuntu-offtopic? [23:44] hey, i want to shutdown my pc after runnning a command in a terminal. how do i do this? the command will be like cp -pr ... ... [23:44] Pici, Serla, thanks [23:44] jerkman: shutdown -h now [23:44] jerkman: "halt" [23:44] oh wow, the "wow.exe -opengl" totally worked... it was a bit squished, but I can play with the vid settings. is there any way I can create a link or something that will auto-put the "-opengl" tag on the tail of the execution command? [23:45] after the task [23:45] TechMD: The thing is, I don't know how to make a mac boot from anything but a CD/DVD with 'C' at boot ... getting ubuntu unr on a stick is reasonably easy, getting the mac to boot from it big????????? [23:45] Has anyone an idea, how to make some dialogues fitting to 1280x600 screen resolution? [23:45] David_, are you sure it's related to the monitor? try leaving the monitor plugged in and reboot and see if you can still VNC in - my understanding is that VNC requires an active X session to sorta work/get started. Good luck man. [23:45] jerkman: therefore, "cp -pr ; halt" [23:45] ;? that is it? [23:46] or do i need cp ... ... ; shutdown -h now [23:46] well I'm going to try that Envy program, maybe that will help with my problem [23:46] sorry 1024x600 ^^ [23:46] fccf: well from a macbook I just hit the option key at startup and it lets me boot to usb, so I tried that with the iMac as we don't have a macbook at present in the lab, but no go [23:46] Zyk...yea i checked it out....i did with monitor on, monitor off, multiple times....tried just the cable....it needs a monitor to start an x session for some reason [23:46] TechMD, its alt as far as i know [23:46] erUSUL, Have a problem that the program is trying to solved... just a minut [23:47] halt or shutdown -h now ?? [23:47] Beria: ok [23:47] usser_: yea alt and option are the same key on a apple keyboard [23:47] jerkman: halt == shutdown -h now [23:47] ok [23:47] TechMD, oh, crap, you're right, i've never even see the option label even though its there :) [23:47] and is cp -rp an ok method to backup? im copying home to an external drive [23:48] so i guess the better question would be how do i force ubuntu to auto login and start an x session with a 1440x900 resolution from the CLI [23:48] jerkman: personally, I would want to make sure there weren't any errors prior to halting the machine. [23:48] tbx: true, or write them to a log file on the ext drive [23:49] jerkman: ymmv [23:49] David-T_, add su -u -c startx to /etc/rc.local [23:49] David-T_, err su - -c startx [23:49] hi [23:49] tbx: ymmv?? what is that [23:49] David-T_, assuming su is not crippled on ubuntu, it works in debian that way [23:50] Need help resolving an issue on a fresh install & updated 9.04 ; the key combination "FN+F2" switches on and off the internal wireless adapter on a Dell Inspiron e1505 when running under the 9.04 live user; but installed it doesn't do a thing, and the wireless card is stuck off. What didn't get installed, or what can I look for? [23:50] jerkman: Your Mileage May Vary. [23:50] jerkman: Meaning it may work for you or not. [23:50] David-T_, as always you can specify the resolution for xserver in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf. with all that autodetect crap, xorg refuses to start up if no monitor is hooked up, but you can always override that in xorg.conf, ie set an appropriate mode [23:50] yea, ok then.. cp it'll be [23:50] anyone tried to upgrade virtualbox 2.2.4 to 3.0 on ubuntu 9.04? It returns Error: Conflicts with the installed package 'virtualbox-2.2' [23:51] should I remove 2.2 and install 3.0? [23:51] gescape, apt-get remove --purge virtualbox-2.2 && apt-get install virtualbox-3.0 [23:51] vbox 3? cool [23:51] usser so i just need to edit xorg.conf [23:51] usser_, have you tried that? [23:51] will it take vms with no problem? [23:51] David-T_, to set the mode if the server is without monitor. to autologin you need to add that su line to /etc/rc.local [23:52] gescape, yes the vms are compatible. back them up just in case though [23:52] gescape: yeah just remove 2.2 first. [23:52] gescape: they also have debs availible on their site. [23:52] is there any way I can create a link or something that will auto-put the "-opengl" tag on the tail of the execution command? so everytime I run it it'll just auto complete "wow.exe -opengl"? [23:53] thanks so much.. couldn't find much on net [23:53] that's a great support :D [23:53] thank you [23:53] kilo, you can set wow to default to opengl, its in wow's config file somewhere [23:53] kilo: you could use a shell alias [23:54] ah swcool thanks usser [23:54] shell alias? [23:54] forgive my noobish-glazed-over-look [23:54] kilo: yeah just edit the link for wow that you currently have and add the swithc === lololol is now known as Lenin_Cat [23:55] чет мне кажется здесь половина русских) [23:55] hi [23:55] oic... just create a link and then tag that on? gotcha [23:55] tarik, hi [23:56] kilo: yeah or just follow usser_ advice. If your using wine it will be in ~/.wine/drive_c/blah blah [23:56] and is it the name (in properties) that I'm modifying? [23:58] awe man... now wow is crashing with a fatal error... I think I may need to head over to the wine channel... [23:58] !ru | freeze [23:58] freeze: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [23:58] really didn't wanna do a fresh instal.... so many updates!! XD [23:58] getting wow workin with wine isn't too hard, editing one file and its worked for me [23:58] I love the fresh install [23:59] comes with ext4;) [23:59] shame about the grub beta tho... [23:59] Why fix what isn't broken... [23:59] evilaim: what do you mean? [23:59] ext4? for wow? [23:59] evilaim: grub 2 will be in the next release [23:59] kilo: ext4 is a filesystem [23:59] ah kk... I was getting confused [23:59] thx
