[00:00] WanHouse: I like the site - and i've got to go now. I'm gonna need to sort out this ubuntu thing, so i'll ask sometime in #ubuntu+1 [00:01] ryguy: you just asked this [00:01] hola [00:01] WanHouse: See you around [00:01] Jordan_U: same thing fsck 1.41.3 (Oct 12 2008) [00:01] yeah i know, I dont have it on cd tho [00:01] ryguy: it's against the Windows EULA [00:01] Ozzy: I coded what you have enjoyed when growing up perhaps (Scooters, peteron, electric), ATV's, Good laughs. Sooner or later i want you to take change and you know it. [00:01] from spain [00:01] -_- [00:01] to install it from usb? [00:01] ramFS-fu .. hmm ok thanks thedude42 [00:01] epaphus, i would think that the challenge would be to hide the ramfs portion from the kernel [00:02] LinuX2half: Ok, try "sudo fsck -f /dev/sda1" [00:02] thedude42, do you think modifying those parameters on the custom live cd is a big deal? [00:02] epaphus, you may be able to just copy the contents of the CD to a file system in a ramfs mount, and then do a chroot [00:02] Ozzy: I will not persuade you. Its something you must like for yourself. [00:02] thedude24 i installed ubuntu recently and i changed my username, but all my files are in the home directory of my old username [00:03] SUP! I've having ubuntu server trouble here... [00:03] epaphus, yeah, the way I am thinking about it would change a lot of stuff, but I have zero experience doing that kind of thing so it may be a lot easier than I am thinking [00:03] martin_: you can modify your new user to use that directory [00:03] WanHouse: Man i have no doubt you know a hell of alot. But honestly, what are you persuading me of? [00:03] ima super n00b in the works [00:03] WanHouse: You aren't making any sense [00:03] maco how? [00:03] how r u all [00:03] thedude42, all of that could be placed in a bootable script right? ok got it. [00:03] peace, prosperity and love for everyone [00:03] maco: i prefer to move my files to my main home directory [00:03] Ozzy: Its not political anymore. You shall do as you wish. [00:04] IE: Nothings [00:04] Jordan_U: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d5013d1d3 [00:04] martin_: ah you want to mvoe the files not just use teh old directory? [00:04] heres my prob for anyone kind enough: I've got a poweredge300 with 2 HDDs [00:04] Ozzy: I think WanHouse might be a bot [00:04] martin_: or just rename the directory to match your new name? [00:04] I've installed ubuntu server on it and all is fine [00:04] but i wanna use one HDD for the website and the other one for all the intranet info [00:04] Jordan_U: I agree [00:04] Ozzy: I will have a 50 people party next weekend though :) / Its X-rated perhaps [00:04] :) [00:04] maco: i just want to take the files from the old home directory to my current and new home directory [00:05] Jordan_U; haha [00:05] LinuX2half: That's not good, you may have lost your Ubuntu install [00:05] Bye all. [00:05] could anyone help me set up the extra HDD i've go in my server? [00:05] it says it's not partitined [00:06] supposedly i did.. but i rlly didnt [00:06] LinuX2half: Can you pastebin the output of "sudo fdisk -l" again? [00:06] Ozzy: Ask who is a security police tool ? [00:06] Jordan_U: what? Did that happen when I click check on that NTFS partition... [00:06] Ozzy: Im much worse then that lame arse though :) [00:07] LinuX2half: If you only clicked check no, but if you clicked check and then write then yes [00:07] is there an "even viewer" equivalent in ubuntu to check system errors [00:07] Jordan_U; well it gave me an error so.... http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d6bf09ad3 [00:08] Iam trying to debug and fix a dsdt-file, iam using the guide at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1036051, my output after running iasl -tc dsdt.dsl is in http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/291934/ and the file dsdt.dsl is in http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/291936/ , can anyone help me remove these messages? [00:08] buenas [00:08] Jordan_U: Good morning. Im with Verfassungsshuts, Did you wich to join ? [00:10] how do I find out what "configure" options was used when installing a certain package via apt? [00:10] maco any help? [00:11] Jordan_U: so is there any fatal problem? [00:11] martin_: cp -R /home/oldname/* /home/newname/ [00:11] martin_: or "mv" instead of "cp -R" [00:11] installing the aforementioned package via apt works just fine but trying to manually install it (configure; make; make install) seems to fail, hence the question [00:11] martin_: then "sudo chown -R newname:newname /home/newname/*" [00:11] Jordan_U: Yes ? [00:11] maco but i am viewing the contents of my that home folder, i only see 2 files [00:12] maco: access-your-private data.desktop and readme.txt [00:12] both i cannot open [00:12] martin_: OH its encrypted? [00:12] gOcOOl: man apt-cache and look for the option that shows you the full package information (I know it's in there, I haven't looked for it in a while) [00:12] imaco: i believe so [00:12] Schuts awaits [00:12] !ot | WanHouse [00:12] WanHouse: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [00:12] gOcOOl: alternatively you can download the deb file itself and look at it with dpkg [00:12] thedude42: ok, checking ... [00:13] gOcOOl-> also look at /var/lib/dpkg/available [00:13] martin_: try "su olduser -" in a terminal to force that directory to be decrypted? [00:13] Jordan_U: are you there.....? [00:13] LinuX2half: Yes [00:13] maco: user does not exist [00:14] Jordan_U: So then what happened....? [00:14] im trying with the ecryptfs but its not letting me setup [00:14] martin_: how did you rename this user? [00:14] KB1JWQ: You want to tone down, not because youre fat, but because oyu wish to be nice. [00:14] martin_: did you create a new user and remove the old one? [00:14] i reinstalled the OS [00:14] martin_: oh [00:14] mac: i reinstalled the os and created a different user name [00:15] martin--> you want to encrypt just one specific dir or an entire partition? [00:15] Jordan_U: it seemed that Linux OS is back but usually there's this LBA extended [00:15] martin_: so your encryption key from the old user is....? where? [00:15] LinuX2half: I think that trying to "restore" your windows partition corrupted your linux partition, I may be wrong and you may just need the right partition table, but I don't think you can get your linux install back [00:15] n8tuser: he's trying to recover data in an encrypted home directory without having that user [00:15] maco: i dont know, i only see these 2 files and i was told to use the ecrypfts and thats not working so far [00:15] LinuX2half: You can likely recover any important files though [00:16] martin_: dude, i think you deleted your encryption key [00:16] You *must* have the OpenSceneGraph support library installed on your system [00:16] to build the FGFS simulator!

[00:17] LinuX2half: There may be a chance of recovery by someone more knowlageable about this than me, but re-installing is probably easiest unfortunately :( === martin_ is now known as RRBM [00:18] You *must* have the OpenSceneGraph support library installed on your system [00:18] to build the FGFS simulator! [00:18] Jordan_U: So then I just have to install either an Linux or an window? [00:18] where do i get that [00:18] Jordan_U: I mean that I could re-install Linux using this LIveCD? [00:19] LinuX2half: Yes, though I'd go with 9.04 [00:19] thedude42, n8tuser: couldn't find it in the apt-cache man page neither does "/var/lib/dpkg/available" seem to have the info i'm looking for [00:19] Purpley1: try libopenscenegraph-dev [00:19] LinuX2half: For future reference you can install Ubuntu without overwriting windows [00:19] Jordan_U: 9.04? Why don't I just upgrade it when I install the LiveCd? [00:20] Jordan_U: Oh so then I could just install windows first then this LiveCD? [00:20] LinuX2half: It's usually a bit more to download and takes longer, that's all [00:20] g0c00l: yeah I found the parts for listing the files and dependencies..... I think you will have to grab the deb package itself and look at it directly with dpkg [00:20] LinuX2half: Yes, and be carefull to choose to resize windows rather than erasing the drive. [00:21] thedude42: any ideas how i could use dpkg to look at the info from the deb file? [00:21] g0c00l: thing is that you're probably not going to find a Makefile in there, just the binary and any post/pre install scripts [00:21] LinuX2half: Or, since you are installing windows yourself partition it to only use the first half of the drive and leave the rest as unpartitioned space [00:22] g0c00l: if you want to see how it was compiled, you may be able to find a source package for the particular program you're trying to look at [00:22] Jordan_U: okay, but I'm still a novice on the partition stuff... [00:23] hey all, the links in my email(Evolution) wont launch error = could not open operation not supported. any help appreciated [00:23] g0c00l: you use the --unpack to see the files that comprise the package, so any configuration paost/pre installation will be in there [00:23] Jordan_U: so now, I'll take my windows CD-R and insert to my Cd drive and let it do the work.... [00:23] LinuX2half: You can ask any questions here while you are installing to be sure you don't acidentily overwrite windows [00:24] I finally installed my program but now how do i start it? [00:24] Jordan_U" wait you're telling me that I could just leave this open while I install my windows? [00:25] Jordan_U: OR do you mean AFTER installing windows [00:25] Jordan_U: I' [00:25] what does the variable $? stands for? [00:25] LinuX2half: Well you can't use IRC from the windows installer, but Ubuntu supports resizing windows so just going with the default options when installing windows is fine [00:25] I finally installed my program but now how do i start it? [00:25] LinuX2half: After [00:26] bobo123-> in bash thats the status of the last command executed [00:26] bobo123: The exit code of the last command run [00:26] please help [00:26] Jordan_U: so 1 means fail, right? [00:26] Jordan_U: it said that by default, ubuntu will erase all existing softwares... [00:26] bobo123, not necessarily [00:26] Purpley1: you did sudo make install ? [00:27] bobo123: Yes [00:27] woah [00:27] Jordan_U: So I should be looking for an phase such as "alongside windows"? [00:27] i got a ton of error messages [00:27] LinuX2half: Yes [00:27] What ports do I need to open to run an FTP server? [00:28] http://pastebin.com/m71309de6 [00:28] maestrojed, kinda depends, but port 21 is the default [00:28] get more power out of ubuntu [00:28] how do i get more power out of ubuntu === BRKMND|SKAP is now known as SKAP [00:28] has someone installed nctuns, on ubuntu? [00:28] sory [00:28] Jordan_U: alright cool, I mean when I insert the CD it doesn't automatically load the CD...... [00:29] LinuX2half: Can you rephrase your last comment? [00:29] Jordan_U: it take a while for me to figure it out but I just press the F12 button I'm sure it'll work for any CD right? [00:29] maestrojed, in PORT mode, one end needs 21 open, the other end needs 20 open, but in PASV mode (the most common) you need to have 21 open for incoming requests, and then a range of other ports open to handle the actual data transfers [00:29] thedude42: I figured it depends. I am going to do what I hope is a standard install. For some reason I thought you needed more then one port open for ftp [00:29] ?DCC SEND "haha" yousuck [00:29] does anyone know why there's no man entry for the bg command? or where i can find the options/usage for the bg command? [00:29] maestrojed, your thoughts were correct ;) [00:30] Is there a specific room for ubuntu development? I'm trying to make a program that replaces the gnome desktop background with a 3D environment... What should I be looking to do? [00:30] LinuX2half: Yes, if F12 allowed you to boot from the Ubuntu LiveCD it will work with any other bootable CD [00:30] Jordan_U: what I mean is that when I insert a ISO CD or a installation CD, it doesn't load automatically, I need to press F12 after the manufacturer logo appear.... [00:30] http://pastebin.com/m71309de6 [00:30] Help [00:31] Jordan_U: okay cool thanks for the help :) [00:31] LinuX2half: np :) [00:31] maestrojed, basically if you want the most generic ftp server up, you let it serve on port 21, and then you decide what high number port range you want to serve the PASV connections on... it's totally transparent to the client [00:31] Jordan_U: see ya and wish me luck... [00:31] Purpley1: instead of compiling it yourself just download the deb files and install http://www.unitedfreeworld.com/ubuntu_debian_fgfs_installation.html [00:31] thedude42: So I am opening ports now while I am at my office so that I can work on this tonight (actually installing the server). Do you recommend a ftp server? My setup should be pretty basic. I always fail at getting the user and file permissions to play nice with SMB.

[00:33] unless your just looking to use it on your LAN [00:33] Purpley1: What does that program do? There might be an alternative [00:33] Purpley1: is the program called Flightgear? [00:34] you can use ssl...it was written with security as the top priority against exploits [00:34] mhm [00:34] Jordan [00:34] FTP w/ SSL is an improvment [00:34] The other alternative is the terminal [00:34] I dont want to use the terminal because of all the options and variables [00:34] FGRUN is the GPU [00:35] all non SSL ftp connections are plain text and vulnerable [00:35] but we are talking about different things [00:35] Jordan_U: hi, looks like my linux operating system is fine..... [00:36] LinuX2half: I guess I was wrong :) [00:36] Jordan_U: There doesn't seem to have nothing wrong with the partition table.....most likely.... [00:36] Jordan_U: phew.. glads thats over....

[00:53] how do i get a screen recorder on xubuntu [00:53] libosgParticle.so.61 it says i need that how do i get it [00:54] durt, xine [00:54] how do i get a screen recorder on xubuntu [00:54] SeaPhor, xine [00:54] how do i get a screen recorder on xubuntu [00:54] youngblood: Use VLC, it's got the decoders built in. [00:54] LjL: that works, i can cp and then run that. I'll try it out. [00:54] cmon guys pls help [00:54] libosgParticle.so.61 it says i need that how do i get it [00:55] tommy_, packages.ubuntu.com [00:55] sorry durt ,, didn't see ya ;-) i'd suggest vlc or mplayer for youngblood [00:55] you can go Applications - add remove and check some good stuff there [00:55] Youngblood: alternately 'sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras' [00:55] And after, 'sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh' [00:56] SeaPhor, I have I have mplayer installed also. [00:56] hey i'm trying to change the color of the text in the cpufreq applet on intrepid. anyone know how to? [00:56] k0nane, I did that command. Still doesn't work. [00:57] youngblood, -->what k0nane said [00:57] Youngblood: Run both, the package includes the library but the install-css.sh script activates it. [00:57] k0nane: that doesn't seem to help me though... I have the ad-hoc connection working ok, I can ping the win machine, and I see some probing samba traffic in the events of firestarter, but the win machine, as mentioned gets no internet [00:57] Arand: can you ping the Ubu machine from the Win machine? [00:58] LjL: [00:58] user@host:/tmp/images$ pnmcrop --white image.png [00:58] pnmcrop: bad magic number - not a ppm, pgm, or pbm file [00:58] libosgParticle.so.61 it says i need that how do i get it [00:58] youngblood, how new is this ubuntu install?? have you got all updates? [00:58] PLEASE guys [00:58] Arand: and what have you got for firewall on the Win side? [00:58] i want to do this [00:59] ive been trying to get it to work for 2 hours now [00:59] dragon: well, it does need to be a pnm image. try "pngtopnm image.pnm | pnmcrop --white | pnmtopng >newimage.png" [00:59] k0nane: I have not tested that, and unfortunately it's shut down at the moment... hmm, I guess I should come here to bother when I have the whole thing running I guess... [00:59] libosgParticle.so.61 it says i need that how do i get it [00:59] LjL: hm. Would that affect the image quality? [00:59] !apt-file | Purpley1 [00:59] Purpley1: apt-file is a program that can tell you which package(s) contain(s) a given filename. To install it and generate the database it needs, run "sudo apt-get install apt-file && sudo apt-file update" [00:59] dragon: no, they're all lossless formats. [00:59] Arand: Might help. :) Firewall on there sounds like the most likely problem, I've seen things like that several times. [00:59] k0nane: but I'll note that down for later testing [00:59] tried it [00:59] LjL: alright [00:59] SeaPhor, I upgraded about a month ago. [01:00] Purpley whats the problem ?:) [01:00] k0nane: okies, thanks for help. [01:00] arand: Windows Firewall you'll have to play with; there could be any number of ways it's sticking up. ZoneAlarm, I used to have issues until adding the network range (or at least the gateway) to trusted. [01:01] LjL: it worked, thanks [01:01] youngblood, if you ran the "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras" already, try "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade sources.list" [01:02] wow, i like gnomenu [01:04] Once again, my issue: two sound cards, same driver, only one fully loads, how to disable the first? [01:04] When I log into my netbook at home, I have to unlock the keyring to access my wireless network. Is there a way to automate this? 'tis annoying. [01:04] k0nane: yea, I remeber those woes al to well... [01:05] k0nane, is one an onboard? if so is it loaded in the system bios? [01:05] well, if you don't use the keyring... [01:06] jbicha: are you talking to me? [01:06] does anyone here know how to make rooms for windows? [01:06] RegressLess: yeah, I don't use the keyring and I don't have to enter the password in all the time [01:07] LinuX2half, what do you mean "rooms" [01:07] jbicha: I thought I had to do that or at least still have to enter my wireless network password. [01:07] seaPhor, make space for the windows installation [01:08] LinuX2half: google "gparted live" and run that (at your own risk, back up first). [01:08] has someone installed nctuns on ubuntu? [01:08] LinuX2half, it is generally a better idea to install windows first, but you can boot from the live cd and use gparted to resize the partitions [01:08] my brother did something to xchat now everything is all rainbow [01:09] how do i create xorg.conf. mine is empty. [01:09] Olá pessoal [01:09] i cant take it anymore [01:09] blkdg: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [01:09] i keep getting kicked for it [01:09] !pt | vipskelvin [01:09] vipskelvin: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português.

[01:10] jbicha: do you know if I can automatically log into my password-protected wireless network if I didn't use the keyring? [01:10] anybody know how to fix it? [01:10] hi guys, I'm havin an issue with gnome font. From my upload at http://omploader.org/vMmo4aQ , you can see the system bar font is a very light grey, on brown background. It's the same whether it's active or inactive. How do I make it as bright as the firefox menubar beneath it? [01:11] !troll > ae86-drifter [01:11] ae86-drifter, please see my private message [01:11] SeaPhor, the dvd start, but after the warning I still get the error libdvdcss not installed. I also entered those commands before I tried to play the dvd. Any other pointers? [01:11] RegressLess, yes, just "deny" the keyring [01:11] anybody? [01:11] dragon: uhm, while i do bash scripting often enough, i must admit i don't often write functions and am not too sure of the syntax. === hoarycri1ple is now known as hoarycripple [01:12] dragon: but, for starters it needs to start with "function" [01:12] joejc: Your client? [01:12] LjL: syntax is apparently ok, but the input file is not being read, resulting in a 0 byte output file [01:12] dragon: and, looking at a script i have that uses functions, it has no (), but those might just be optional [01:12] youngblood, check the "region" settings on the DVD, i have never had an issue playing any DVD with mplayer or vlc [01:12] dragon: can't have "-" in a function name [01:12] if i use another client it will stop? [01:13] i like xchat though [01:13] SeaPhor: do you know how to remove it from the keyring? [01:13] joejc: It should, yes, but to know how to get -- okay there you go, that's what I needed to know. [01:13] dragon@abhatia-ll:/tmp/snapshots$ my-func(){ date; } [01:13] dragon@abhatia-ll:/tmp/snapshots$ my-func [01:13] Mon Oct 12 17:13:15 PDT 2009 [01:13] i'm trying to do a usb netinstall but my nic isn't recognized - i have the driver on the usb but can't figure out how to access it from the netinstall shell [01:14] RegressLess, sorry- no, i dont, i hate that stupid pop-up [01:14] syntax is ok, but the pipes are broken somewhere in the former [01:14] SeaPhor, what is a region setting? [01:14] joejc: Check for rainbow.pl under /home/[your user]/.xchat2 [01:14] anyway to keep xchat and kill the rainbow? [01:14] ppl i have a little problem with my amsn is warning me about something wrong "tkcximage failed" i tried # sudo mv /usr/bin/wish /usr/bin/wish-bak and svn co https://amsn.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/amsn/trunk/amsn amsn, if any know how i can fixit help. [01:14] dragon: oh wait, you can't rewrite to the same $1 file, use another filename [01:14] does anyone know how to edit the keyring settings? [01:15] k0nane it's asking me what my video cards bus identifyer is, is that the same number as in lspci? [01:15] dragon: (or install and use "sponge" if you really want to overwrite) [01:15] nope [01:15] LjL: i'll try that out [01:15] ubuntu is so beutifull i am in love! :) [01:15] blkdg: Just press enter. [01:15] dragon: apparently bash honors that but it's not compatible with /bin/sh [01:15] RegressLess: gnome-keyring-manager === ben is now known as Guest16503 [01:16] ok [01:16] LjL: that was it, thanks again! [01:16] ok, with my speaker setup, i have a separate subwoofer. How do i get linux to understand that and route all the bass thru that? [01:16] marduk: yes [01:16] youngblood, region is like ... europe, chinese, etc,,, we do testing on several regions,,, also check the DVD/ODD manufacturer for firmware updates, also your pc mfg... [01:17] k0nane: can you be more specific? I tried alt-f2 and got an error [01:18] I am having trouble with no programs being able to find the xvid codec, in libavcodec (winff) etc etc [01:18] RegressLess: If you've got "Passwords and Encryption Keys" in Administration or Preferences, use that. [01:19] RegressLess: I believe it's the same thing. The name may be slightly different; I'm on Linux Mint. === KristianRose is now known as Chaos_1585 [01:20] hi evferyone [01:20] Slade: This may help you. http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-670416.html === bruno is now known as Guest55792 [01:21] i've a doubt about how to cluster in ubuntu [01:21] anyone?

[01:25] The sound manager is showing now audio devices. [01:25] A quick check of lspci tells me that it is detected. [01:25] Anybody have a clue what's going on?

[01:26] k0nane: I have Encryption and Keyrings, but I don't get it. In the Encryption tab, there's a drop-down for Default Key, but it only has one choice: "None. Prompt for a key." Then there's a checkbox that says " When encrypting, always include myself as a recipient, which is checked. On the PGP Passphrases tab, it says Remember PGP Passphrases, but then it says "A supported PGP passphrase caching agent is not running." [01:26] k0nane, appreciate it. [01:26] I'll check it out. === D is now known as Guest58500 [01:26] RegressLess: What exactly are you trying to do? [01:27] Speaking of sound... As I said before, two cards, both using snd-hda-intel, ALSA and lspci detect both, aplay -l and everything else gets one. Ideas on disabling the onboard (BIOS not an option)? === ben is now known as Guest72265 [01:27] anyone know the eucaliptus cloud ? [01:28] Guest55792: Google does~ [01:28] k0nane: my wireless network is password protected. When I first set up ubuntu it asked if I wanted to add it to the keyring, so I agreed. Now, every time I log in, I have to enter the keyring password. It's driving me mad. [01:28] hi [01:28] anyone used lkl? Know of docs somewhere? [01:28] I gotta problem [01:28] Hello Fernandos [01:28] Hi Slade [01:29] I wanna watch youtube and porn :P but flash laggy soo hard [01:29] RegressLess: You set the password in the first place, correct? [01:29] Fernandos: Best answer is use Windows. Flash on Linux and Mac sucks hard. [01:29] k0nane: yes [01:30] i hate ubuntu [01:30] k0nane: or he can use Firefox in WINE [01:30] :-) [01:30] pilif12p: Interesting, true. [01:30] k0nane: I just killed my win7 installation. Gotta msdnaa subscription. But I'm used to use linux [01:30] SeaPhor, After doing all the commands that have been suggested, I still don't see that libdvdcss has been installed. Is there a specific command I can enter to install that lib? [01:30] But, i hate flash... I never installed it :D [01:30] I can look at youtube and porn just fine [01:31] k0nane: I dislike windows, except for photoshop and such [01:31] flashplayer works fine in firefox [01:31] Fernando: are you using flash from Adobe? i.e., genuine flash [01:31] RegressLess: It's super fresh installation. I just installed ubuntu-restricted-extras [01:31] youngblood, inn the term,,, cd to the dir... [01:31] RegressLess: somehow it lags hard and takes many cpu cycles.. [01:31] Fernando: Make sure you have the real flash from Adobe, that should fix it [01:32] It wasn't that hard in older ubuntu versions like 8.10.. [01:32] youngblood, try this... http://www.wood-bee-co.com/woodbeeco/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=54&Itemid=50&mosmsg=Item+successfully+saved [01:32] RegressLess: This may or may not work, but have a look at http://www.goitexpert.com/general/disable-login-to-wireless-wifi-in-ubuntu/ [01:32] Fernandos: You can find the real flash in Add/Remove [01:32] RegressLess: but the flash version from adobe and the repo is the same? [01:32] why there's an error when I try to burn the CD? [01:32] RegressLess: same version number of flash [01:33] I'm using Brasero [01:33] RegressLess: Also http://davestechsupport.com/blog/2009/01/16/how-to-remove-ubuntus-password-keyring/ [01:33] Fernandos: If you install from Add/Remove, you get auto updates [01:34] Fernandos: just dont use the maximize thingie [01:34] I am having trouble with no programs being able to find the xvid codec, in libavcodec (winff) etc etc but I have it installed === goingtomoonbrb is now known as MCCCXXXVII === MCCCXXXVII is now known as goingtomoonbrb [01:34] Slade haha no I don't maximize.

[01:36] thanks again [01:36] ok, my girlfriend's computer (Jaunty, nVidia 7300 SE, nvidia-glx-180 installed) is having something that looks suspiciously like a kernel panic after running for a little while. Is it possible that I messed something up by installing a 32-bit flash plugin on her amd64 system, or should I me looking for something hardware-related? [01:36] InitHello: I'd guess hardware. [01:37] InitHello: there already exists flash 64 bits [01:37] k0nane: disable hardware acceleration? Never seen such a dialoge [01:37] well, shucks. And it's a brand spankin' new graphics card, too [01:37] InitHello, heat? [01:37] InitHello: Did you check syslog? [01:37] craigbass1976: she says the heat sink is cool-warmish [01:37] InitHello: And, any specific programs running when it dies? [01:37] InitHello: There are a native 64-bit flash support. Use that instead of 32-bit flash plugin. ;3 [01:37] k0nane: The first link looks promising. brb [01:37] Can someone tell me the error in this pastebin? http://www.ubuntu.pastebin.com/d5a49f689 [01:37] k0nane: yeah, I checked syslog, and firefox on facebook [01:38] k0nane: one sec, lemme pastebin syslog [01:38] InitHello: That may well be Flash though it really shouldn't be. [01:38] so... i just installed from the cd, and chose the easy option on the partitioning screen... and it didn't give me enough swap space to hibernate. so how do i fix it? [01:38] LinuX2half: For me, Brasero always have produced errors when burning ISO or such. Try the disc though. [01:38] can it hibernate to a file, or does it need to be a real swap drive? [01:39] k0nane: I've got Ubuntu 9.10 [01:39] does anyone write C++ code with Netbeans? i think my problem with the IDE may be related to Ubuntu... [01:39] leaf-sheep: you mean the CD/DVD creator? [01:39] SeaPhor, I read the information that you pointed to. I don't have a libdvdread4 directory. Do you have another pointer? [01:39] k0nane: http://paste.ubuntu.com/291993/ -- I didn't glean any useful information, maybe it means something to you [01:39] LinuX2half: That's Brasero -- Yes. CD/DVD Creator. [01:39] fresh install just 1h old.. wanted to test the machine with some youtube 'n porn stuff [01:39] u know [01:39] !karmic | Fernandos [01:39] Fernandos: 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 [01:39] k0nane: also, it worked perfectly when she was borrowing my 8800GT, which makes me suspect hardware as well [01:39] Is there an lkl type program that would also monitor touchpad activity? I've a customer who complains of her pointer flying around. I think her thumb is brushing the trackpad. Perhaps such an app would also register the trackpad activating itself though... [01:40] Fernandos: right-click a video, Settings, and it's somewhere in there [01:40] leaf-sheep: hey thanks fella [01:40] QUIT [01:40] InitHello: That's plenty likely, [01:40] does anybody know how to enable case-insensitive filename completion in bash? [01:40] k0nane: good thing it was a cheapo $25 card [01:40] InitHello: You could try running a graphics stress-test, or just RMA it. [01:40] i'm trying to run this command: "set completion-ignore-case on" but it does nothing? [01:41] leaf-sheep well its choosing brasero by default... [01:41] craigbass1976: Google for the said customer's hardware specs. The pointer went crazy on fresh installation for me in Jaunty. Turned out that I had to flash the BIO to latest to get it working. === marko-_-- is now known as marko-_- [01:41] SeaPhor, forget the last message I sent. my mistake. [01:41] k0nane: thanks. tried, but I didn't do the trick [01:41] LinuX2half: I know. I'm saying... Try the CD you burned. Brasero do generate errors for me and I ignored them. Because the CD works just fine. === mnepton is now known as mneptok === jra is now known as Guest76453 [01:41] hey, my SD card reader in my acer one is not mounting, how can I do it on ubuntu 9.04?

[01:42] no [01:42] ZanQdo: Model of card reader? [01:42] ynk: no [01:42] ynk: for some people, it's just being on the bleeding edge of the newest and shiniest [01:43] How do i run ./foo.pl at bar.pm ? [01:43] help please! I try to go to my external HD in terminal through "cd /media/disc 3" but it says "No such file or directory". How do I get ubuntu to recognize my external drives? [01:43] ynk: such as myself. I upgraded to karmic about 3 months ago, because it was newer and shinier than jaunty [01:43] ynk: updates are only issued for security bugs or particularly serious bugs, aside from the Backports repository, which only targets some end-user software [01:43] ZanQdo: The card reader isn't showing up int here. [01:43] Hi ppl [01:43] leaf-sheep nope the CD doesn't have any tracks in it [01:43] ZanQdo: try lsusb and see if it shows up there. [01:44] ynk: LTS are for people who don't want to maintain their systems all times or every 6 months. Useful for businesses. [01:44] I t weird that my sytem never uses swap memory === Guest76453 is now known as SecGeek [01:44] LinuX2half: I don't burn tracks but ask others on what apps they use to burn tracks. [01:44] youngblood, i'm confused,,, is that working for you or no? [01:44] ynk: all applications are generally newer on newer releases, LTS only gets major-bug fixes and security updates, sort-of.. [01:44] SeaPhor, no [01:45] a_: is there an actual space between "disc" and "3"? if so, it's not surprising that it won't work [01:45] ynk: I'm one of those people that needs to tweak the life out of an Ubuntu system - I'm compiling an Ubuntu kernel that will pretty much match a Gentoo kernel right now [01:45] ...

[01:48] I know that [01:48] ynk: karmic, and I like it [01:48] ynk: why don't you ask in #ubuntu-offtopic [01:49] can any one explain to me what swap space is [01:49] youngblood, type (copy/paste) this in a term... ls /usr/share/doc/libdvd [01:49] !swap [01:49] swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster.

[01:54] Oh comeon people, no one of you have been able to help me with this issue -_-, i need the help: i did a reinstalation of kubuntu, but i used 64amd instead, now runescape lags as hell at everymoment, and cannot use HD, i am thinking of reinstallation, its that the only solution?!

Oh so that means its running now that its installed... Great but now how do I set up my laptop to use it? xD [02:23] Shawn-: ooh ... do you have a static IP at home? [02:23] hello how can i open record my desktop without opening it using terminal [02:23] gbear14275: Okay. If it's desktop Ubuntu, yes, you'll have to enable root, but if I had to guess, I'd say you could keep key-only SSH and still use virt-manager, as long as you can log in as root. [02:23] How can I change my default processor speed. It's running at 800 Mhz rather than 1.6 Ghz [02:24] now [02:24] I get this libosgSim.so.61 [02:24] InitHello I think I need to set one up still... I had one before I reinstalled Ubuntu [02:24] tommy_ create a launcher [02:24] Purpley1: do it with libosgsim :f [02:24] ok,,, youngblood but you did see the ./install.... doing something? [02:24] Oh i see what to do [02:24] tommy, you need to install the frontent [02:24] sudo apt-get install gtk-recordmydesktop [02:25] SeaPhor, well, the screen ran by with a bunch of output. [02:25] k0nane: its ubuntu-server that I'm trying to log into... but was hoping to avoid using root on that too [02:25] ok youngblood ,,, try a dvd [02:25] Shawn-: well, static IPs and/or dyndns services are beyond the scope of this channel, but what you want to do is tell your browser to use your home IP and port (search /etc/privoxy/config for 'listen-address' to find the port) as a proxy [02:25] ya but how do i stop it [02:25] gbear14275: Oh. Root should be enabled by default, in that case. I don't see any reason why to avoid it, if you don't run things that don't need to be root as root. [02:26] FROM RECORDING [02:26] InitHello you cant help me do it in a Private chat? [02:26] SeaPhor, I did, I get the same error. it's look for libdvdcss. [02:26] Shawn-: sure [02:26] gbear14275: Running virt-manager through another user with sudo would be running it as root anyway, in a roundabout way. [02:26] howdy... [02:26] recordmydesktop –help [02:26] HOW DO I STOP IT FROM RECORDING [02:26] lol [02:26] How can I change my default processor speed? It's running at 800 MHz rather than 1.6 GHz. I'm trying to solve all my issues tonight. :P [02:26] tommy_ just click the icon in the tooltray [02:27] you can find the user manual here http://recordmydesktop.sourceforge.net/rug/toc.php [02:27] RegressLess: Disable SpeedStep/whatever AMD has. [02:27] youngblood, try sudo /sbin/alsa force-reload again [02:27] pkill [02:27] THERES NO ICON [02:27] SeaPhor, ok [02:27] go read the manual [02:27] MYBE BECUSE IM USING XUBUNTU [02:27] tommy_: caps off please [02:27] yes, PLEASE [02:27] CAPS LOCK IS CRUISE CONTROL FOR FAIL [02:28] k0nane: eh? It's an intell and I don't follow ya. [02:28] The 9.10 installer just closes when it gets to "starting up partitioner" right after pressing "Install" at the last step... Has anyone seen this happen before? It's odd because the installer in 9.04 doesn't give me that issue [02:28] k0nane: that's not helping [02:28] RegressLess: Disable SpeedStep in the BIOS, then.

[02:32] why the hell i want to disable this stupid password dialogue [02:32] i told you how to stop it [02:33] is anyone familiar with ftp? i wanted to create a folder with sub folders for each user and give them full access to only their folder but do not see how to do this. [02:33] its annoying, anytime i do something i have to enter a stupid password [02:33] how [02:33] control + left alt key + S [02:33] Eido: Which daemon are you using? [02:33] if i want to lock the machine i could lock the machine [02:33] omg thank you [02:33] welcome [02:33] akn, on irc? /join #channel-name [02:33] not with those dumb password anoying crap [02:33] k0nane, vsftp [02:33] tommy_- http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=294605 [02:34] k0nane, i was hoping to have just one main folder instead of everyone being in their ~ directory === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [02:35] Eido: The best way, I would say, is create a folder, create the subfolders for each user, chmod each subfolder for each user, and go from there. As for configuring vsftpd, Google 'vsftpd admin'. I use ProFTPD with MySQL virtual users. [02:36] k0nane: yeeeeaaah... I don't see that option. Under CPU Configuration, I have one option: "Max CPUID Value Set ". Perhaps I should mention it's an EeePC with the array.org kernel. I'll try searching array.org. [02:36] SeaPhor, I tried the command again and rebooted the system. Then I tried playing a dvd. same error message. Why can I see libdvdcss in synaptics on one labtop, where dvds play okay, but not on the laptop that I'm having problems on? [02:36] is there a way to get system resources back after much youtubing, video playing, using memory intensive programs..? i would like to avoid a restart as much as the next user... [02:36] WOOT I FIXED IT I LOVE YOU DaZ [02:37] RegressLess: Similar issue: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7910689 [02:37] * Purpley1 gives a bear hug to DaZ [02:37] Purpley1: i hope you're a woman :f [02:37] k0nane, i just setup vsftp and turned off anon and tried to connect which brought me to my folder but i could also navigate through the whole system. [02:37] Eido: Are you opposed to switching daemons? [02:37] youngblood, i'd check the mfg for firmware update first,,, then i'd check the logs for what the install errors were [02:37] k0nane, i guess not [02:38] i switch back to windows, its to stupid this OS, and those changes everytime! [02:38] it just seemed vsftp was a defacto [02:38] proftpd > vsftp and scp > * [02:38] SeaPhor, ok - thanks for your help.

[02:38] alteregox: your choice [02:39] those changes in every release [02:39] eido: If you've got Apache/etc. configured with PHP and MySQL, there's a good admin panel as well. [02:39] network manager and whaetver [02:39] alteregox: err? [02:39] they should not change the GUI, just change the code behind, its freaking wierd [02:39] alteregox: with every release network manager becomes better and better [02:39] yeah i can wait forever [02:39] alteregox: how was NM gui changed? I don't recall any changes ... [02:39] eido: Or, at least, there should be. [02:40] make a native network manager without gtk crap and such underlying bullseet [02:40] native network manager? [02:40] huh? [02:40] is that so complicated, yeah without gtk and those slowass crap [02:40] -I- actually use PureFTPd. Oops. But ProFTPd is tops. [02:40] you can get rid of NM and edit /etc/network/interfaces, that will work [02:40] write it in pure C! [02:40] gtk is written in C [02:40] edit is crap [02:40] edit textfiles? [02:41] today we use GUI [02:41] alteregox: get windows [02:41] yes good old windows crypto API nothing beats it, they never will change that [02:41] yeah, thats why linux never get success on the mainstream [02:41] the arrogance of the linux developers [02:41] eido: Pure's guide is here http://www.howtoforge.com/virtual-hosting-with-pureftpd-and-mysql-ubuntu-7.10 and the user manager here: http://freshmeat.net/projects/usermanager_pureftpd/ [02:41] alteregox: I see ... your choice, have fun [02:42] k0nane, thanks ill check those out [02:42] yeah i have no time to edit textfiles and stuff, i had that in the 80s and early 90s with DOS [02:42] k0nane: the eepc bios are pretty different than normal bios. I've been all over'em and there is no SpeedStep, which is the only suggestion given in that thread. It is an an Atom. It's probably the special kernel from array.org.

[02:54] previews and zoom, and that ADHD mode is handy at times [02:54] i use a eyeglass [02:54] alteregoa: then theres the X-ray-eyeglasses that let you see through clotheing on images on web sites..... [02:54] alteregoa: :) [02:55] yeah i always used it [02:55] i'd like to turn my cursor into a pirate ship, and have windows explode upon closing [02:55] prince_jammys: You can already have windows burn closed. [02:55] 1I do tend to always use the Previews on panel.. feature.. thats about the only real compiz feature i find thats a feature. [02:55] prince_jammys: lawl [02:56] k0nane: cool. i'll switch to compiz when they implement the Pirate Ship effect. [02:56] how can I use the smb.conf recycle:exclude_dir with this example that will exclude a folder called /home/username/temp ?? [02:56] use the Compiz Flame feature to write notes on the monitor [02:56] prince_jammys: You can have them explode ( see animations in ccsm ), but with the pirate ship cursor you should really go with bursting into flames [02:56] lol.. whats the pirate ship effect [02:56] prince_jammys: You can change your curser to whatever you want [02:57] prince_jammys: Standard FOSS answer: write it yourself. [02:57] well, crap, i was kidding. Didn't know it already existed. [02:57] lol [02:57] How do i install the cube effect? [02:57] mine has 3 turbo settings [02:57] And use the flip?

[02:59] prince_jammys: I would also go with a transparent cube with whales swimming in it [02:59] export something [02:59] LG-LG: of course you need to set your # of desktops to '4' for a cube. :) or set it to 12 for a dechadron. :) [02:59] !compiz [02:59] Compiz (compositing window manager), for a howto see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager and more help #compiz [02:59] !locale [02:59] To set up and configure your locales, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LocaleConf [02:59] brb [02:59] thanks [02:59] Thanks [02:59] Jordan_U: now you're talking. [03:00] hi. need help with karmic beta: after boot goes to promt and starts to flicker (can't login - keyboard semi-responsive). [03:00] how about those old home movies? [03:00] Dr_Willis: wait, doesn't a cube have six sides? [03:00] zaadjis: #ubuntu+1 === ripps_ is now known as ripps [03:00] Random832: top and bottom are not useable sides for desktops [03:00] Random832: those are just endcaps. :) [03:00] how do I go to "irc.oftc.net"? [03:01] Random832: how about the INSIDES? :) thats more then 6 [03:01] RegressLess1: /server servername [03:01] RegressLess1: is one way. [03:01] what if i want desktops on the top and bottom? why not? [03:01] Random832: then you do without. [03:01] It maps the 4+ desktops in a row. to the sides of the 'solid' and renders themthat way [03:02] its just an effect. :) [03:02] If you used the top/bottom then you could accidently flip your desktop upside down. :) [03:02] its not gravity fed [03:03] Dr_Willis: I guess I'm doing it wrong. [03:03] RegressLess1: when in doubt read the docs for your irc client. [03:03] or use a real irc client. not an IM client that just has some limited irc features [03:04] Dr_Willis: that's my favorite answer. I'm using Pidgin which is awesome, tyvm. [03:05] RegressLess1: Pidgin rules, but serious, XChat for IRC. [03:05] seriously* [03:05] hi [03:05] I found pidgins irc features severely lacking.. [03:05] for pidgin - youmake a new connection.. and do it the pidgin way [03:05] not the 'irc' way :) [03:06] bbl [03:07] is it me or ext2,3,4 are more gentle on harddrives than NTFS ? The answer i am really seeking is, "this xxx filesystem gives your harddrive a longer lifespan" [03:08] intruder1, no such animal === idleone_ is now known as IdleOne [03:08] i've seen a lot of data corrupted on windows install, is it because i only have windows customers ? [03:08] intruder1, though I do think that windows disk i/o sucks [03:09] intruder1: Less fragmentation means less seeking, thus less noise from the drive but not likely any affect on lifespan [03:09] intruder1, hd life span is decided in a given number of spin ups, [03:09] fragmentation? [03:09] that doesnt really matter in real life [03:09] intruder1: yes Linux file systems are better than Windows file systems [03:09] intruder1, yeah probably... I've seen plenty of data corruption in linux as well.... but I worked with large computational clusters [03:09] !defrag | alteregoa intruder1 [03:09] alteregoa intruder1: The default Ubuntu filesystem (ext3) is engineered to avoid fragmentation issues in most cases, see http://linkpot.net/behead/ for a simple example on how it achieves this. [03:09] ok ext2 is better than ntfs LOL [03:10] sebsebseb: thank you! :) [03:10] a ext3 defrags too, less than ntfs, but its not much better, any FS fragments, thats natural [03:10] alteregoa: yes I expect it is, even though now days most use Ext3 for Linux installs, but soon that will be Ext4 instead, plus 9.10 gets Ext4 by default, not for Ext3 9.04 upgrades though [03:11] yeah ext4 allows sparse files, ntfs has sparse since 2000 by default [03:11] so having a fragmented installation leads of shorter hd lifespan ? [03:11] but you can't defrag ext4, because its not in the distro of ubuntu! LOL [03:11] intruder1: I don't know, but Linux file systems are better than Windows file systems :) [03:11] alteregoa: windows is just awesome and spectacular and we are all so happy you are enamered with it. [03:11] intruder1: No, just might be why you had an impression that it was "softer" on drives [03:11] sebsebseb: no, they are not better, they are different [03:12] intruder1, generally the lifespan of a hdd is determined by :1) use 2) trauma 3) average MTBF [03:12] MTBF ? [03:12] mean time before failure === dmb_ is now known as dmb [03:13] and this value is determined by ? [03:13] alteregoa: Well generally the opensource/freesoftware community do things rather good, I suppouse Apple reolize this to, hence why OS X uses quite a lot of it, and has it easilly available for it [03:13] its determined by temperature too [03:13] IdleOne: hmm? [03:13] intruder1: randomness of universe :) [03:13] intruder1, so since defregmentaiont is a series of reads and writes, it's additional wear on the drive, so by that logic it does reduce the lifespan [03:13] sebsebseb, it's a shame that apple twisted it for their own ends [03:13] IdleOne: i like it [03:13] sebsebseb: i didnt criticize open source community, i criticize how they threat the users [03:13] sebsebseb: tired of seeing him compare everything to windows and trying to prove it is better [03:13] IdleOne: oh [03:14] intruder1: A study by google ( who used a lot of cheap consumer hard drives to power google.com ) showed that usage patterns actually mattered very little, so file system is almost certainly insignifigant [03:14] alteregoa: Linux distros are not Windows, there's even a good article for that [03:14] !windows [03:14] For discussion on Microsoft software, or help with same, please visit ##windows.

Windows does! Prove me wrong in /msg because all this windows talk is offtopic for #ubuntu [03:15] thedude42: can i conclude that formatting an external hard drive with a linux filesystem such as ext3 would be a better idea than using NTFS, let's say i won't plug it in any windows computer [03:15] sorry sebsebseb wasnt meant for you :) [03:15] IdleOne: fud. [03:15] intruder1, i would think not from that standpoint of portability [03:16] Jordan_U: yea, about the journaling thing, that's why we use ext2 on a eeepc [03:16] idleone: yeah, i would replace the staff with idiot users, and make ubuntu from scratch, without using anything from debian [03:16] !ot [03:16] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[03:17] alteregoa: I wonder what the # [03:17] ##linux people will say about file systems [03:17] intruder1, well if you're only plugging it in to systekms that support ext3 then yeah, it's better than fat32 [03:17] you cannot compare fat32 with ext3, compare it with ext2 [03:18] why are we still trying to compare apples to oranges?

[03:18] intruder1: yes ##windows [03:19] i do not say A is better than B, i just said its different [03:19] Jordan_U: looks like 512bytes may do it [03:19] alteregoa: ext2 is not journaling [03:19] NETSPLIT!!! [03:19] !netsplit [03:19] 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. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [03:19] yay [03:19] yeah i said compare fat32 with ext2 [03:21] ext2 was great... till you hard reset and had to do a complete fs check [03:21] im running ubuntu on my x505- the volume is scary low what do i do? [03:21] i feel bad about asking these guys if they think their only available fs is crappy [03:21] :( [03:22] intruder1: Who? [03:22] the Windows people? [03:22] yea === aiyakoiya is now known as Laughing_God [03:22] for my opinion a fs should be like xfs with compression, because compression is faster in terms of access times [03:22] intruder1: Fat32 and NTFS for Windows, with NTFS being the better out of the two, plus there has been Fat16 in the past [03:22] intruder1, the pros and cons of NTFS are fairly well known === linux_ is now known as inxmg [03:22] intruder1: What's your opinion on case-sensitivity? [03:22] Grrrk~ [03:23] k0nane: it's important [03:23] When i ttry to install cube effect i got this error what is should do ubuntu:~$ apt:compizconfig-settings-manager [03:23] bash: apt:compizconfig-settings-manager: command not found [03:23] intruder1: Why do you say that? Personally, I find it annoying. [03:24] my monitor doesn't support the resolution the 9.04 livecd is booting up to, what do I add to "Other Options" to choose the resolution? [03:24] NTFS is not very secure [03:24] compared to ext3/4 [03:25] ae86, ntfs supports encryption, and ext3/4? [03:25] ext4/ext3 [03:25] have u used ext4 yet? [03:25] yes [03:26] i used xfs ext3 and ext4 [03:26] but murderfs never [03:26] thedude42: do you happen to know where i can find those comparisions or pros/crons list of ntfs vs ext2,3,4 ? [03:26] !grub [03:26] GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [03:26] look on wikipedia [03:26] whats so good about reiserfs? [03:26] Are there any real good wireless program's that'll show me the other computers connected and other stats? [03:26] reiserfs is good for small files [03:26] grturner, ppl say it performs better with lots of small files [03:27] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_file_systems [03:27] i mean those that are well-known, those you talk about [03:27] alteregoa: murderfs as in reiserfs? [03:27] its a joke [03:27] !reiser [03:27] reiserfs is a journalling file system, which outperforms many others on I/O operations, but has drawbacks (such as increasing likelihood of data loss, and introducing latency unsuitable for gaming or real-time audio). Using !ext3, the default on Ubuntu, is *highly* recommended. A read-only Windows driver is available at http://p-nand-q.com/download/rfstool.html [03:27] krazed, i dont think theres special program from. nmap and wireshark can do what you ask but they are more like network swiss knives [03:27] http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Comparison_of_file_systems&oldid=209063556#Features [03:28] intruder1, google, start at wikipedia.... there are plenty of msdn articles on optimising storage with NTFS which talk about the limitations.... I really don't have a central resource or article that does a comprehensive comparrison [03:28] ^^^ what alteregoa said [03:29] who would need a single 16TB file? [03:29] !grub [03:29] GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [03:29] thats stupid [03:29] damn, ntfs can handle 16 exabyte files while ext4 can only handle 16 terabyte files :( [03:29] ae86-drifter, rainbow table [03:29] lol [03:29] 16TB rainbow table??? [03:30] why not? [03:30] that would take years to generate === ericm-Zzz is now known as ericm [03:30] ae86-drifter, right, just like no one coule ever need more than 640KB... [03:30] where can I find livecd cheatcodes? [03:30] yeah that needs a shitload of memory to create [03:30] if a 33GB table takes 50 PCs 3 days [03:30] Watch the language, please, alteregoa. [03:30] !language [03:30] Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [03:31] meh... this bores me [03:31] it needs a brownload of memory [03:31] honestly thedude42, what would you use a 16TB file for [03:31] Gadu: ? what do you mean [03:31] and rainbow table is not an answer [03:31] does anyone know if there is a way i can get my GRUB working again .... i put it in a separate partition and it gives me a "Error 15" ... i also tried the two links in the !grub, didnt help at all ... [03:31] because thats just stupid [03:32] yeah [03:32] maybe a virtual machine [03:32] ? [03:32] angel: there is a recovery project [03:32] ae86-drifter: porn. [03:32] haha [03:32] ae86-drifter, the idea behind designing software that supports data structures far beyond what we use right now is that, you know, the whole trend is that the more computing power we have, the larger things get [03:32] thats one big porn clip [03:32] alteregoa: where is taht ??? [03:33] thedude42, thats a good answer [03:33] thedude42: lies! We couldn't possibly need more than 32 bits for an IP [03:33] angel: its a special cd you have to insert and it fix the grub [03:33] ipv6 is an overkill [03:33] InitHello, exactly [03:33] intruder1: like setting to use a specific resolution at boot on the livecd [03:33] hmm thanks alteregoa [03:34] ae86-drifter: I imagine that video files could be 16TB a few decades from now [03:35] InitHello, well actually its not at all unlikely, uncompressed video can go pretty large [03:35] ae86-drifter, of course you don't want to sacrafice efficiency or speed for making something extensible, which is why we see things that do hit the edge of their usefulness ... like that large disk support thing in the NT kernel a couple years back [03:35] usser_: and imagine when 3d video is possible [03:35] rescuelinux or something [03:35] dunno [03:36] InitHello, i was thinking more about large data sets collected from distributed computational work..... I can see that stuff having very large files [03:36] thedude42: another valid supposition [03:36] Stay on topic, folks. [03:37] Gadu: these are general linux tricks [03:37] maybe a very high resolution 64bit color tiff, with a insane large resolution from hubble [03:37] Gadu: search for "linux boot parameters" [03:37] intruder1: I could find things specific to the ubuntu livecd with that? [03:39] hi i just installed karmic koala and there is no menu.lst for grub [03:39] Gadu: i don't think you wont find such things, you can't influence the behavior of a livecd much only by the boot parameters [03:39] intruder1: I just want to be able to choose the resolution that is used on livecd [03:39] yeah this is normal tab1293 [03:39] intruder1: oh I see [03:39] i am trying to to boot back into windows 7 [03:39] tab1293_: run sudo update-grub [03:39] tab1293_: Its now /boot/grub/grub.cfg [03:39] intruder1: that seems ineffective, my monitor can't see the resolution that is being picked automatically [03:39] ^ That too. [03:39] Didn't know that. [03:39] sexycatsinhats_: i saw that, but i have no idea how to edit that [03:40] intruder1: seems you should be able to put something like "resolution=1024x768" in the boot line thing [03:40] tab1293_: It's a little bit different than menu.lst. They had to change it for Karmic. [03:40] <_Techie_> will ubuntu install to a ext3 formated USB drive? [03:40] Gadu: this would only affect the text-mode resolution [03:40] i think its a cryptic stuff [03:40] grub mode something [03:41] you need to type the vesa mode [03:41] sexycatsinhats_: ok well do you know if there is anyway to reinstall windows 7 bootloader from ubuntu? [03:41] tab1293_: #ubuntu+1 for karmic until it's released [03:41] 0x200 or something [03:41] alteregoa: this won't alter the way Xorg autodetects its stuff [03:41] intruder: for the splash screen? [03:41] <_Techie_> alteregoa to load the vesa driver boot using xforcevesa [03:42] guys, how can i search for a package so that is only shows the exact thing i am looking for [03:42] when i do apt-cache search thunderbird it shows loads of matches [03:42] intruder1: knoppix, for example, allows for "screen=1024x768" to be added to the boot line thing [03:42] tab1293_: there is a way, but I don't know how.. sorry. Might have to Google it or wait to see if there's someone else who knows [03:43] Hi room [03:43] Gadu: and it works ? [03:43] <_Techie_> xover: if you know the name of the package you want, why not just apt-get install? [03:43] xover: more specific search terms, or filter with grep, or something similar [03:43] have any one installed and configure Clip-Share.com software (clipshare).. [03:43] is till ask myself how to bypass [03:43] i need help about it [03:43] intruder1: in knoppix livecd yes, I'll try that exact line on the ubuntu livecd if you think it might workk [03:44] Gadu: what release are you using ? [03:44] can anyone tell me how i can reinstall windows 7 bootloader from ubuntu? [03:44] why my window CD weren't able to load? [03:44] tab1293_, you cant [03:44] intruder1: 9.04 ubuntu livecd [03:45] usser_: are you sure? why not? [03:45] how do i find out the hardware my computers use? Like windows has device manager, what does linuix have? [03:45] cody_: lshw and lspci [03:45] tab1293_, well its vista bootloader, you can reinstall from vista's recovery cd [03:45] usser_: ok i tried booting from my windows 7 disk [03:46] tab1293_, right and? [03:46] but when i tried fixmbr and all that stuff it said i was on the wrong volume and everything [03:46] _Techie_: I want to check the version numbers [03:46] does anyone know how to get apt to show the info for the released package it wants to upgrade? version # etc. [03:46] tab1293_, hm wouldnt know much about windows. did you move/resize your partitions? [03:47] no idk whats going on with it [03:47] Gadu: can't see how knoppix is doing this [03:47] i guess an ubuntu channel wouldnt be a good place for help but are you sure there is no way of installing the vista bootloader from ubuntu [03:47] Gadu: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions [03:47] Gadu thanks [03:47] i remember i did it for xp [03:47] shane2peru, apt-cache show [03:47] After an upgrade from 8 to 9, I cant get to localhost/phpmyadmin ... just a white screen. Any ideas? [03:47] intruder1: see http://www.knoppix.net/wiki/Cheat_Codes [03:48] thedude42: that shows the installed package, not the one it want's to download and install [03:48] shane2peru, right, so you take the package name of the package it wants to download and install, and do apt-cache show on that package.... [03:48] tab1293_, yes im pretty sure, no way unless you actually backed it up in advance with dd or some such [03:49] Gadu: hrm, interesting [03:49] intruder1: aha vga=792 will set it to 1024x768 [03:49] intruder1: that's exactly what I wanted [03:49] Gadu: for the text-mode [03:49] thedude42: it is an upgrade of a package I have, I want to know what it wants to replace my package with? I installed from source, it is ffmpeg [03:49] wha? [03:49] Gadu: try it, but im pretty sure it won't do what you wanted [03:50] My colleague told me that I should use "shutdown -r" instead of "reboot", but according to what I Googled, reboot normally equals "shutdown -r". So, who is right? My colleague or Google? [03:50] shane2peru, if you installed yours from source and it's not in the apt cache, then apt-cache show will show you the one it wants to install [03:51] Gadu: knoppix also has a vga=, this is a standard kernel param, screen= isnt [03:51] screen= affects X [03:51] ablmf, from the man reboot If halt or reboot is called when the system is not in runlevel 0 or 6, [03:51] in other words when it's running normally, shutdown will be invoked [03:51] instead (with the -h or -r flag). For more info see the shutdown(8) [03:51] manpage. [03:51] usser_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:51] thedude42: oh, right, I actually made a package and installed it so, when I use apt-cache show ffmpeg it shows me as the maintainer, and shows my package, however now it want's to update it, and I'm quite curious as to what it wants to replace it with. [03:51] Hey all im having a problem with my usb headset on my laptop and it looks like i need to make the usb driver the default, so i need some help doing that in the terminal [03:51] ablmf, so they are equivalent in most cases [03:52] usser_: So will the system normally in runlevel 0 or 6? [03:52] shane2peru, then download the deb for the package it wants to upgrade and do some dpkg fu on it [03:52] i have had weeks of uptime with jaunty desktop; i tried to install ubuntu-xen-desktop, which i think installed a server kernel, and after i rebooted i got a hard lock before it could get to a desktop environment [03:52] ablmf, no 0 and 6 are not normal runlevels [03:53] thedude42: I guess I could do that, I was just hoping apt had a way to tell me why it wanted to upgrade it [03:53] thedude42: I guess I could just install it, and then remove it and revert back to my old package, but that is a pain too. [03:54] Hey all im having a problem with my usb headset on my laptop and it looks like i need to make the usb driver the default, so i need some help doing that in the terminal === default is now known as xcad [03:55] shane2peru, well, i assume you're doing apt-get update.... does it not show a package name with a version there? [03:55] does anyone know how to use cpufreqd? [03:55] I can't find it === xcad is now known as acad [03:55] thedude42: The following packages will be upgraded: [03:55] ffmpeg libmlt-data libpostproc-unstripped-51 melt wine x264 [03:55] Nope, not very specific [03:55] intruder1: still couldn't see the screen so guess not =( [03:56] thedude42: I think it is pulling it in as a dep for melt, or something [03:56] id need a dejavu plugin for firefox. where would i find one? [03:56] intruder1: it really needs an option like 'screen', for those that can't see the automatically selected resolution =( [03:57] hi. ruby question. i have @item = Item.find(params[:id]) to find an especific row of a table. what if i need to find another item whit and other params. [03:57] nolimitsoya_, you can use mozplugger with evince [03:57] shane2peru, well the tool is going to either be apt-cache or dpkg, apt-get doesn't do much in the inspection area [03:58] Hi, is there any p2p program (like limewire) not written in Java? [03:58] for example the row whit high value [03:58] thedude42: right, apt-cache, I will have to look into it more probably as you said, download it and dpkg fu it [03:58] olvap, might want to ask that in #ruby, as the people in this room who could answer that are probably idling in there as well [04:00] thedude42: ahh, aptitude download ffmpeg gives me the scoop, fyi :) [04:00] hi [04:00] !hi | glicks [04:01] glicks: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines. Enjoy your stay! [04:01] hey how come ubuntu gets like like 2 hours less battery time on my netbook than windows XP? [04:01] shane2peru, yeah, i never use aptitude... i should probably consider using it :p [04:01] usser_, how would i do that? [04:01] thedude42: I use it as a fallback when I forget the apt-get commands, [04:02] nolimitsoya_, just install mozplugger and evince [04:02] usser_, bear with me, im trying to help someone over the phone here :) apt-get install mozplugger?

[04:24] allows me to save favourites with a cosmetic name.. vinagre doesnt do that. === xxx is now known as Guest31797 [04:25] what is the best seedbox to use in a headless system with preferably a WebUI adin [04:25] all i want to do is preset my vnc servers with a name so i can point and click [04:25] pepper: TheRealmezquital everything seems fine there, i dont really know what to check for except that the master and pcm are both up, and sound works fine, i just wanna control it from those buttons [04:25] ircn00b: Terminal Server Client let's you save things like that [04:25] ircn00b: hmm, I don't know how to do that, but I do know how to run it over ssh and port forward stuff, thats why I asked what your problem is. Hopefully someone else can help [04:25] really? ok ill check it out.. i assumed it was for rdc only :P [04:26] np explorer.. [04:26] ircn00b: no, it supports a number of protocols if they are installed. greys them out if not [04:26] im in a bash irc app.. what recommendations you all have to a GUI irc client? [04:26] ok ty carpe [04:27] ircn00b: Pidgin or Empathy for simple IRCing, XChat for more advanced (like mirc) [04:27] xchat.. i remember now :) [04:27] carpediem, do you have any ideas on this seed box question? [04:27] jeeves_Moss: missed it...what's the Q [04:28] jeeves_Moss: okay, now I see it....never heard the term seedbox though [04:29] carpediem, I'm trying to set up a seed box on my web server so I can distro a few of our grass roots videos. I'd prefer something with a WebUI so I don't have to babysit these people [04:29] jeeves_Moss: AHH, okay... [04:29] carpediem, it's just a Torrent program without the WebUI [04:29] seedbox or sandboz? [04:29] cya ircn00b :P [04:29] thx for xchat suggestion [04:29] jeeves_Moss: I'd go with the standard transmission. IT has a daemon (headless) version. [04:29] carpediem, and becasue it has no GUI, then it has to be admined by a WebUI [04:30] carpediem, does it have a WebUI add on? [04:30] you folks talkin about a torrent box? [04:30] jeeves_Moss: yep [04:30] we use torrentflux [04:30] it rocks and has a webui [04:30] its in synaptic too [04:30] jeeves_Moss: yhou have it by default on Ubuntu, and if you look in the preferences, there's a web ui you can enable. [04:30] GUI-IRCn00b, is it a headless one that has a webui? [04:31] deluge has webui now too [04:31] we run it as a headless server [04:31] what you mean by headless ive no idea :/ [04:31] no gui [04:31] ahh [04:31] then yes its headless [04:31] we just http to it [04:31] How do i install cube effect on ubuntu. [04:31] www.torrentflux.com [04:32] GUI-IRCn00b, well, this box is a CLI only box. can you send me a howto to install it with the WebUI through GLI? [04:32] u running 9.04 current ? [04:32] jeeves_Moss: Why not use transmission, it's already installed by default [04:32] transmission works too. flux has way more power IMHO [04:32] laughzilla: install Compiz config setting manager [04:32] GUI-IRCn00b, thanks. as I said, we're using it to distro our indi films [04:33] jeeves_Moss: apt-get install torrentflux should do [04:33] GUI-IRCn00b: not to be daft, but what kind of more power does it have? [04:33] laughzilla: then go to System>Preferences>CompizConfig Setting Manager [04:33] GUI-IRCn00b, thanks. [04:34] i cant answer as a harcore user but i found the admin aspect more verbose [04:34] so you can have "accounts" as to who can do what [04:34] i have torrentflux and MLdonkey running on my server [04:34] GUI-IRCn00b: the transmission web UI is ajax, very nicely done, almost like a GUI client in a browser [04:34] we have multiple users on it [04:34] so it worked best for our usage [04:34] Laughing_God: Then email enable desktop cube and rotate cube [04:34] rtorrent webui is pretty nice as well [04:34] GUI-IRCn00b, I'm just looking for something simple so the girls in the office can just add the files [04:35] jeeves_Moss: trust me, run transmission, then enable the web ui, and just look at it for 10 seconds. [04:35] transmission(as someone else said) is already installed [04:35] it does the job :) [04:35] carpediem is right [04:35] softwareexplorer wtf?!?! [04:35] Laughing_God: Go to general options then desktop size tab and set horizontal desktop size to 4 [04:36] sorry, got your username mixed up with Laughing_God's [04:36] jeeves_Moss: for basic features transmission is fine, for advanced like RSS deluge is better [04:36] uh Mike? [04:37] transmission has more features [04:37] MikeChelen, ok. I'm trying to find a "howto" online to install it through a CLI [04:37] laughzilla: sorry, got your username mixed up with Laughing_God's username, I'm not used to pidgin just yet [04:37] . [04:37] yeah, that's true, transmission doesn't do RSS subscriptions. [04:37] ae86-drifter: does transmission support RSS feeds or magnet links? [04:37] what program would be good for making mashups or putting a beat to a song? [04:37] darkstar999: give us an example [04:37] I don't need RSS [04:38] darkstar999, use ubuntustudio if you have a spare hard drive [04:38] yeah so tranmission sounds fine then [04:38] you can automatically add torrents from a folder [04:38] darkstar999: I'm not totally into mixing, but I know Jokosher is somewhat popular for that. [04:38] as soon as u drop them in there [04:38] Laughing_God: install Compiz config setting manager, then go to System>Preferences>CompizConfig [04:38] map it to an ftp drive [04:38] GUI-IRCn00b: Take a song that already exists, add a hip-hop beat to it [04:38] darkstar999: audacity is a good audio editor, something else might be more convenient [04:38] audacity won't do what I need [04:39] how come? [04:39] checking the sound [04:39] ae86-drifter: do you know how to start the transmission webui from CLI? [04:39] MikeChelen: you can't mix tracks nicely with it [04:39] MikeChelen: transmission-daemon? :f [04:40] carpediem: tried ardour? [04:40] My Ubuntu is full of viruses (riiight..): http://paradoksi.ath.cx/~jussi/i/viruksia.png [04:40] easy [04:40] when i try to log in, the screen flickers for a second, then kicks me back to the login screen. i can login with the failsafe gnome session though [04:40] transmission [04:40] incidence: i love it [04:40] DaZ: idk, is that it? jeeves_Moss was asking [04:40] MikeChelen: yeah, Ardour is the high-end (complicated) one...Jokosher is the simpler "for the masses" one [04:40] ahh [04:40] incidence: *giggle* [04:41] that's pretty hillarious === grturner__ is now known as grturner [04:41] incidence: Do note that that's more appropriate for #ubuntu-offtopic - this is strictly for support :) [04:41] incidence: nice!! [04:41] ae86-drifter: will the webui be enabled? [04:41] Oh MenZa Sorry about that :) [04:41] ardour might work. thanks. [04:41] I need help with Amarok. Can I get that here? [04:41] incidence: Now if only you had the Aero Desktop theme for Ubuntu, that would have been a whole lot funnier [04:42] but the people in ubuntu-offtopic are rude >: >: [04:42] carpediem: cool, will have to give jokosher a try too [04:43] mnaines: Blah, I've got used to the lovely Ubuntu theme :P [04:43] incidence: OMG! Format! Reinstall Ubuntu! That's scary! [04:43] u have to edit the config first to enable it [04:43] there isnt a command line switch for webui [04:43] when i try to log in, the screen flickers for a second, then kicks me back to the login screen. i can login with the failsafe gnome session though [04:43] how can I configure a samba share folder to be writable? [04:44] !samba | afeijo [04:44] afeijo: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. [04:44] afeijo, that question would be better served in #samba [04:44] fuck me, i've never been in a irc channelw ith 1000 users [04:44] swat is good, so is gsambad [04:44] yeah, fuck you [04:44] !language | iBiZa- darkstar999 [04:44] iBiZa- darkstar999: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [04:45] lol [04:45] that was pretty funny [04:45] * iBiZa- slaps meek_ around a bit with a large trout [04:45] thedude42 thanks [04:45] :D [04:45] trying to play music on Amarok and getting static and no music [04:45] blenderpc4: do other players work okay? [04:45] blenderpc4: make sure you set the output to Pulseaudio in the options [04:46] speaking of audio, my girlfriends netbook is running Remix and when the sound is muted it makes a horrible buzzing sound [04:46] when i try to log in, ubuntu just kicks me back to the login page. any help? [04:46] Mike - no...banshee, gtkpod, amarok all give static [04:47] Hawaiian_Eskimo: make sure you have the right "session" chosen in the login screen [04:47] Hawaiian_Eskimo: does it come up "wrong password" [04:47] hehe [04:47] no, no error. just kicks me back to the login [04:47] oh ok [04:47] blenderpc4: try killall pulseaudio, then see if sound doesn't get better [04:47] the password is right :P [04:48] carpediem: the only one that works is the failsafes === GUI-IRCn00b is now known as root [04:48] Its not staticy music...its just static [04:48] Is there a way to turn of where pidgin tells you every time someone leaves or enters, maybe for a channel? There's more leave/enter notices then actual chat === root is now known as Satz [04:49] SoftwareExplorer: yes, its in the options somewhere [04:49] SoftwareExplorer: Yes, its a plugin [04:49] so killall is a terminal cmnd? [04:49] blenderpc4: yes [04:49] blenderpc4: yes [04:49] Hawaiian_Eskimo: Have you tried logging in as root instead? [04:49] I'll give it a shot. Thanks [04:49] blenderpc4: just a tip. if you are curious about a command, just type man in front of it in a shell [04:50] SoftwareExplorer: Its the Join/Part Hiding Plugin, v2.6.1 [04:50] tells you about the cmd and tells you if u have it [04:50] ae86-drifter: give me a sec to enable it [04:50] mnaines: Where can I get it/ what is it called? [04:50] thanks satz...very helpful. [04:50] ae86-drifter, you can't login as root unless you enabled the root password which is TERRIBLE advice in #ubuntu [04:50] SoftwareExplorer: Go into synaptic and download all the available plugin packs for Pidgin and you'll get it [04:50] how do you kill a process in ubuntu if the command "ps" doesnt list the processes running? [04:50] man woman always has a laugh [04:50] ps -ef ? [04:51] mnaines: Thanks, I'll be back in awhile [04:51] Madcamper: check ps ax [04:51] Madcamper: killall [04:51] ahh [04:51] carpediem: got a better idea? i know not to rm -rf / (don't do that btw) [04:51] whats the ax stand for? [04:51] man ps [04:51] SoftwareExplorer: After you do that, go to Pidgin>Tools>Plugins then check the box next to "Join/Part Hiding" [04:51] or kill `pidof something` ;f [04:51] Hawaiian_Eskimo: yes, let's figure out the root cause. If the failsafes are working, there's something messed up. First, I would find out if you can log in as another user (not root) [04:51] oh all [04:52] there is only one user [04:52] want me to create another one? === ubuntu_ is now known as acad [04:52] carpediem, dont you think its a good idea to just try logging in as root in case there is an issue with the user account?? [04:52] Hawaiian_Eskimo: yeah, from CLI, sudo adduser test [04:52] ae86-drifter: Use "sudo -i" instead. [04:52] it's neithher good nor bad ;f [04:53] ae86-drifter: not by enabling root logins via pw [04:53] ae86-drifter: better to add another user account. [04:53] ... it asks me for a room number. nice :P [04:53] hrm, i cant find firefox process listed, but its frozen [04:53] it would be temporarily just for a test, but i agree that your idea is safer.. hehe [04:53] Madcamper: man pkill [04:53] as in pkill firefox [04:54] killall firefox. [04:54] ok the new account logged in [04:54] kk [04:54] thx [04:54] Hawaiian_Eskimo: then, there's a few things that could be wrong.... [04:54] tried killall pulseaudio and still get only static [04:54] softwareexplorer no problem :) enjoy your learning curve :) [04:54] look at /etc/passwd [04:54] it's a fresh install, if i just deleted the account and made a new one, would that probably fix it? [04:54] Hawaiian_Eskimo: one thing I would suggest is "sudo chown myusername:myusername /home/myusername" [04:55] "test is not in the sudoers file. this incident will be reported" [04:55] uh oh! [04:55] oh no [04:55] run! [04:55] * Satz notices Agent Smith... [04:55] Hawaiian_Eskimo: no, from the CLI of your other account [04:55] mnaines: Thanks, it must be working, or people suddenly stopped connecting to the ubuntu channel [04:55] cops are coming, arent they? [04:56] carpediem: gotcha [04:56] I need help with firefox [04:56] sjines ? [04:56] yes [04:56] how so [04:56] !ask sjines [04:56] Sorry, I don't know anything about ask sjines [04:56] heh, whoops [04:56] hah [04:56] huuurrr hurrrrrr [04:56] sjnes !ask [04:56] hmm [04:56] everytime i miniize something it disappears [04:56] I hate bots [04:57] SoftwareExplorer: What that does is hides any join/part messages that are not active users. For example, if they do not type anything in chat, it will hide the notification that they joined or left [04:57] carpediem: entered the command, still doing it [04:57] sjines: can you alt-tab to get it back? [04:57] Hawaiian_Eskimo: fresh install, do you have anything important in your home dir? [04:57] i havent tried [04:57] carpediem: just a fresh install [04:57] try [04:57] okay. [04:58] load it up, minimize and alt-tab [04:58] ok...so I tried some music online, and it was static too. Systemic problem with sound? any help is appreciated === Christopher is now known as fuzzybunny [04:58] blenderpc4 can you hear audio ok in a browser? youtube for ex? [04:58] carpediem: it had this issue in linux mint, i switched to ubuntu thinking it might go away. it didn't :( [04:58] mnaines: thats smart [04:58] Hawaiian_Eskimo: then I would try "rm /home/myuser/ -R" then "sudo mkdir /home/myuser" then "sudo chown myuser:myuser /home/myuser -R" === fuzzybunny is now known as fuzzmaster [04:59] wow. [04:59] thank you! [04:59] np :) [04:59] im a newbie too [04:59] i had no idea! [04:59] in other cool cool tricks? [04:59] windows key + m [04:59] sjines: sounds like your task bar is missing? is that so? [04:59] windows key + e [04:59] carpediem, thats what i thought [05:00] wow! [05:00] if u want to prove that sjines make another account and test [05:00] satz - nope all sound is static. [05:00] blenderpc4, try #alsaconfig... [05:00] just for kicks blenderpc4 say u popped in a live cd does the audio work? [05:01] carpediem: cool, it works now [05:01] Hawaiian_Eskimo: run sudoedit /etc/passwd and tell me if your username is listed in the file [05:01] blenderpc4: do you have an onboard intel sound? [05:01] just wondering if ur audio device is flaky? [05:01] i have no idea about a task bar [05:01] Hawaiian_Eskimo: cool, you had some goofed up config file in your user dir, most likely [05:01] I'll have to find a cd...havn't used one in a while lol [05:01] ah [05:01] well it would help you cross-test if it is the os or the device... [05:01] sjines: when you minimize something, you shoudl have a task bar where you can see it, like the bottom in Windows. [05:02] blenderpc4, try to rebuild your sound driver.. it may work... [05:02] How do i open Advanced Desktop Effects Settings? [05:02] Laughing_God: install compizconfig-settings-manager [05:02] pepper - not sure how to rebuild anything [05:02] Laughing_God, do you have a 3d capable card? [05:02] Laughing_God: that gives you access to EVERYTHING [05:02] it simple it has a trashcan [05:02] yes [05:02] and a pencil in a fra [05:02] meee [05:02] my keys are messed up [05:03] carpediem: i changed the resolution and it's doing it again :( [05:03] Laughing_God, with the restricted drivers enebled (if nvidia)? [05:03] blenderpc4, #alsaconf [05:03] Does anyone here use 64bit firefox and can successfully use the free LogMeIn service? [05:03] Hawaiian_Eskimo: run sudoedit /etc/passwd and tell me if your username is listed in the fil [05:03] Laughing_God: Sorry I got you mixed up with another username, so thats why my previous answer got out of order [05:03] ok i want to disable ask for password upon waking up the computer what config file do i do this in i went there yesterday and it had all the config options for apps desktop/ everything what is this file [05:03] blenderpc4, what is the output of cat /proc/asound/cards [05:03] sjines: right click on it, choose Add To Panel, and choose Window List [05:03] * Laughing_God now confuse and blur [05:03] * Laughing_God now confuse and blur [05:03] * Laughing_God dies [05:04] sjines: when I say right click on it, I mean the panel, not the trash can [05:04] ae86-drifter: it's in there [05:04] webbb82, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=620769 [05:04] paste the line [05:04] what is the channel for backtrack [05:04] ... i changed the resolution back and it's fixed again === defcon is now known as Guest23812 [05:05] defcon, searchirc.com [05:05] Hawaiian_Eskimo: doctor says if it hurts, don't do it.

[05:07] I love this chatroom...so many answers [05:08] Laughing_God: or go to System>Preferences>CompizConfig Settings Manager [05:08] System/Preferences/Appearance/Visual Effects/ Compiz Settings Manager [05:08] ok [05:08] and tick every box [05:08] can somebody tell me real quick how to start apache2 server [05:08] lol [05:08] blenderpc4: do you know, is it a 3 stack or a 5 stack Intel sound. (are there 3 headphone-style output lines, or 5)? [05:08] Doc_Lappy: sudo invoke-rc.d apache2 start [05:08] Does anyone here use 64bit firefox and can successfully use the free LogMeIn service? [05:09] k thans lstarnes [05:09] Doc_Lappy, or "sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 start" [05:09] jman_: 64 bit firefox - never heard of that service [05:09] I'm going to feel stupid, but I only see the one, and the one for mic. === Satz is now known as Satz_AFK [05:09] blenderpc4: including mic and standard out, always 3 or 5. so we'll go with 3 stack [05:10] oh ZykoticK9 that's the one I usually use but couldn't remember it and in a hurry so didn't want to have to google so thanks [05:10] anyone else having trouble connecting to AIM with pidgin or just me?

[05:17] chmod on the files [05:17] sudo, then chmod the files [05:18] cenaaaa [05:18] PerryArmstrong: You could do Alt+F2 then put in gksudo nautilus. Then you will have all the powers! [05:18] eh i'll play some more we'll see [05:19] ae86-drifter: lol, that's nice, I'll have to remember that. You get to be a smarta## and helpful at the same time. [05:19] carpediem: hehe, its nice isn't it [05:19] that is not helpful [05:19] acad: aptitude install packagename/universe .. you'll need to enable universe before doing so. then disable afterwards [05:19] haha [05:19] i know it isnt but i cant resist [05:19] I'm always afraid to open tinyurl links, you don't know what is behind them [05:19] SoftwareExplorer; i did that still i am unable to delete [05:20] how can i check which GTK+ version i have? [05:20] ubuntu is power [05:20] bastid_raZor thanks man! i'll look at that and see if it does what i want [05:20] SoftwareExplorer: I'm always afraid to open them on Windows....in Linux I don't sweat the little things [05:20] pots [05:20] Can anyone point me to a solution for cross-platform encryption? I want to be able to encrypt a folder on a fat32 flash drive that I can decrypt in windows without admin rights, that should also be decryptable in ubuntu [05:20] PerryArmstrong: Hmm, that usually does the trick for me [05:21] acad: that is actually on page 1 of man aptitude [05:21] jbuncher: truecrypt- although it doesn't do folders-it creates an image and that images shows up as a drive letter. [05:21] bye boys [05:21] carpediem: Not that it's terrifying, just that I consider who it's from first [05:21] SoftwareExplorer; i tried the chmod 777 * but still i can't change the permissions with su powers [05:21] jbuncher: check out encfs for linux and freeotfe for windows, truecrypt is good too [05:22] PerryArmstrong: do you know where the usb is mounted? [05:22] bastid_raZor: i'm not sure this does what i need actually. i didn't see it in the man page i looked at either.. going to take a closer look. [05:22] ynk: http://tinyurl.com/yh3y8mk [05:22] hi everybody [05:22] SoftwareExplorer; yup in /media/ [05:22] MikeChelen, acad : does truecrypt need to be installed on the windows machine, or can it be run from the usb disk? [05:22] hi everybody [05:22] does hotmail work for you ? [05:22] acad: look for / [05:22] I am a newbie to ubuntu [05:23] PerryArmstrong: how si the media formatted? [05:23] jbuncher: it can be run from a usb flash drive... [05:23] have not used it much [05:23] zetwale69: how can we help? [05:23] SoftwareExplorer; in the sense.... [05:23] i have a question about using applications from ubuntu server console [05:23] i would like to launch gui apps without having to start kde or gnome. Is this possible? [05:23] ynk: run 'aptitude show libgtk2.0-0' [05:24] bastid_raZor: i spotted it. thanks. [05:24] zetwale69: sorta.. need to start X still.. [05:24] zetwale69: unless you X forward. [05:24] zetwale69: not thinking of a whay... [05:24] stebalien, thank you. [05:24] zetwale69, well, you kinda need something handling X in order to launch gui apps.... you can use a different window manager if you prefer [05:24] PerryArmstrong: I thing if you do df -h it will tell you where it is mounted exactly, then you could cd to it and us rm to delete specific files [05:25] PerryArmstrong: how is the USB media formatted? [05:25] PerryArmstrong: ext3? fat32? fat16? ntfs? what? [05:25] acad, how can I run truecrypt from the flashdrive without it being installed on the main system? [05:25] PerryArmstrong: like this cd /media/where-the-disk-is-mouted then sudo rm [05:26] or is it fat12? [05:26] im ok to use X but do not want to launch gnome or kde [05:26] ae86-drifter: ahh a floppy.... [05:26] I mean, when apps are created for Linux, are they bound to a specific window manager or can they just all run from X [05:26] hehe [05:26] mneptok; well i dont know about that how can i know [05:26] jbuncher: do you mean from ubuntu/GNU/Linux or ms windows? I know from MS Windows you can do it without it being installed. from gnu/linux i'm pretty sure you can do it via the command line somehow. i'm not really too sure of the details though. [05:26] zetwale69: off the top of my head, it would be like trying to run a windows gui app without windows [05:27] I have a question if anyone is available to help [05:27] that's it. Can we do that? [05:27] beta_: shoot! [05:27] zetwale69: some only require x, while others use GTK or QT [05:27] zetwale69: not to my knowledge [05:27] you will still need the gnome libraries installed or whatever [05:27] whichever it uses [05:27] acad, ok, thanks, I'll look around the docs [05:27] I have a Belkin wireless G plus MIMO card that will not connect.. [05:27] oh, so I would need GTK or QT or both running, right? [05:27] jbuncher: http://www.truecrypt.org/docs/?s=truecrypt-portable [05:27] nah just installed [05:27] <[nig]aer0nz> sup #ubuntu, i use FEDORA, halp pls. [05:28] zetwale69: X is the back-end of the gui. gnome/kde/fluxbox/etc are the front end. you cant run a gui app without a front-end in the same way you cant drive a car without wheels [05:28] it responds with no ndiswrapper.. which was a surprise.. but will not connect. [05:28] I am not the wireless guy... [05:28] acad, thanks! [05:28] zetwale69, FYI it is "generally" not a good idea to have a GUI on a server OS, you did say you're using "server" didn't you? [05:28] i know wireless [05:28] got it! thanks for that. [05:28] mneptok, SoftwareExplorer; check this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/292070/ [05:28] any help would be greatly appreciated [05:28] ZykoticK9: err. why is it not a good idea? [05:28] <[nig]aer0nz> GUISE [05:28] <[nig]aer0nz> HOW DO I GET BETTER FPS [05:28] <[nig]aer0nz> <- ATIFAG [05:28] [nig]aer0nz: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:29] <[nig]aer0nz> wat [05:29] beta_ did you type iwconfig? [05:29] what does it say? [05:29] ZykoticK9: Out of curiosity, why? (Because I do that) [05:29] what I want to do is this: I have installed a linux server, do not want to run a gui but would like users to access a GUI application remotely [05:29] No.. i didnt [05:29] does it say wlan0 enabled or similair? [05:29] do it [05:29] yes [05:29] it even shows networks.. [05:29] whats the interface name? [05:29] zetwale69: hmm [05:29] PerryArmstrong: mount | grep \/media [05:29] zetwale69: You need the QT/GTK libraries to run apps made to use them. You never need gnome/KDE/XFCE etc; these are just collections of programs. The window manager is only needed if you want to be able to move your windows around and close them. [05:29] I do not need the users to access the whole desktop, just that app, or several apps [05:29] not sure what you mean.. [05:30] paste the return from iwconfig [05:30] I will.. brb [05:30] mneptok; ok i did it in the terminal... [05:30] vox, you "can" do it but generally the less software you have running on a "server" the better. Adding a GUI introduces a lot of possible security holes, unnessecarily. You of course can do it, I mean Solaris runs with a GUI now. But, "serious" servers don't come with GUIs! [05:30] zetwale69: it doesnt/cant/wont work that way [05:30] PerryArmstrong: you have it mounted as read only-why didn't I think of that?!! [05:31] i will have to disconnect and reconnect on the laptop.. [05:31] how do you mount a NTFS HDD [05:31] brb [05:31] SoftwareExplorer; usually it automounts and i do have full permissions...but this time i dont know how it got changed [05:31] if you try gedit at the terminal prompt it complains about gtk [05:31] i.e. ctrl+alt+f1 [05:31] PerryArmstrong: and what did it tell you? [05:31] acad, damn, looks like truecrypt needs to be installed on the system in order for the driver to load [05:31] mneptok; http://paste.ubuntu.com/292072/ [05:32] jbuncher: on ms windows? [05:32] PerryArmstrong: I'm not real mount savvy, maybe someone else can help [05:32] ok. So if I have an application server running on ubuntu, and want remote users to access an application, then I need to feed them a whole desktop [05:32] acad, doesn't seem like there's any way around being a non-admin on a machine that doesn't have truecrypt installed. yeah, windows. [05:32] !ntfs | wynnerman [05:32] wynnerman: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [05:32] jbuncher: i know back in the day you could run truecrypt without being an admin- but that was in ms window 9x [05:32] SoftwareExplorer; okk thx for offering me your help [05:32] acad, http://www.truecrypt.org/docs/?s=truecrypt-portable [05:32] jbuncher: of course 9x didn't have "admin" really [05:32] zetwale69: you can use xinit (from the commandline) to run just a bare bones X server with a few apps. Without a window manager, your users will not be able to switch between windows. [05:32] hehe "mount savvy" [05:32] PerryArmstrong: sudo umount /dev/sdb1 $$ sudo fsck.vfat -yf /dev/sdb1 [05:32] PerryArmstrong: Your Welcome :) [05:33] PerryArmstrong: when that completes, remove the USB disk and plug it in again [05:33] acad, looks like you can run it without the admin, but an admin needs to have installed it to the system previously. [05:33] PerryArmstrong: errrrr [05:33] i'm trying to install an app called Geany. i found an old version in Synaptic. i decided to download an archive of the newer version from their site and now i'm having some trouble installing it. i have tried "sh ./configure" but i'm always encountering one error or another... [05:33] thanks  ubottu [05:33] acad, sorry, that link didn't update [05:33] PerryArmstrong: sudo umount /dev/sdb1 && sudo fsck.vfat -yf /dev/sdb1 [05:33] PerryArmstrong: sorry, fat fingers [05:33] zetwale69, see ssh and X forwarding - they could log into terminal (with X-forwarding) then start GUI apps runing on your computer and displayed on their's (no KDG/GNOME required) [05:33] jbuncher: how things have changed.. i'm not really surprised though. it is a driver after all. [05:33] mneptok; hehe [05:33] :) [05:34] acad, yeah, just sucks. [05:34] jbuncher: well virtual driver anyway [05:34] jbuncher: what are you trying to do? [05:34] yes that is what I would like [05:34] use X forwarding or something and have them use one or more apps remotely [05:34] jbuncher: i'm a hacker at heart and it sounds like it would be more fun to just run linux on these machines :) [05:34] I will have to do some more research on this then [05:35] zetwale69: if it on a local network x forwarding is good, for connection across the internet freenx or vnc is better [05:35] i was actually looking at freenx [05:35] jbuncher: maybe make yourself a windows themed linux disc for school- or something. [05:35] zetwale69, see SSH and X-forwarding for further detail (pretty easy to get going). Hint for clients you might need "ssh -Y your_host_name", good luck. [05:35] #remote-exploit [05:35] acad, help out a friend's wife. She wants to be able to encrypt sensitive patient info on a flash drive so she can use/edit the docs on campus and at home. At home, she uses ubuntu. On campus, it's all computer labs where they're locked down, so you can't install anything and you don't have admin rights. [05:35] i know that freenx allows a floating window for one app [05:35] jbuncher: or whereever you plan to use it [05:35] zetwale69: freenx is one of the best options for remote desktop === defcon is now known as Guest46668 [05:35] jbuncher: Here: http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Nimbus-Aero+Improved+?content=113537 [05:36] My spell check wont work on OO Writer, anyone know how to fix that? [05:36] all right, thanks again everybody. this has been very useful [05:36] acad, PM me for a sec...I can guarantee you'll laugh at this [05:36] cheers [05:36] ssh forwarding works best on 100mbit+ lan [05:36] jbuncher: ohh. hmm interesting problem. does the employer encryption only work on ms windows? [05:36] acad, my friend tried a "two partition" approach, but windows is beyond stupid and doesn't recognize the 2nd partition on flash drives. [05:36] mneptok; when i try the 1st command it says device is busy [05:37] acad, this wouldn't be employer encryption, just personal, so we can choose anything that works, as long as it's accessible from windows with zero admin stuff at all, and on linux as a non-admin (after a linux admin has installed and set up certain things) [05:37] PerryArmstrong: sudo umount -l /dev/sdb1 && sudo fsck.vfat -yf /dev/sdb1 [05:38] hrm [05:38] jbuncher: could you just zip the directory and encrypt that? [05:38] jbuncher: i'm surprised the employer doesn't mandate the encryption [05:39] mneptok; isn't working after i did as you said [05:39] mneptok; i mean i am still unable to delete [05:39] jbuncher: it seems like you are probably going to be very very limited in terms of encryption options [05:39] PerryArmstrong: pull the drive fro the USB port. plug it in again. then run that command i gave you. [05:39] PerryArmstrong: ah [05:39] acad, they might mandate that it *be* encrypted, but I don't think they mandate the details. mneptok : not sure, what would do the encrypting/decrypting in windows without admin rights? Is there a native solution in linux that would be compatible? [05:40] jbuncher: http://portableapps.com/apps/utilities/7-zip_portable [05:40] acad, yeah, that's what it seems. My poor friend has been trying to figure this out for days. He's going crazy. [05:40] jbuncher: GPG encrypts files, but directories are trickier. so archive the dir and encrypt that single file with GPG. [05:40] PerryArmstrong: the disk is being mounted read-only. did you mess with /etc.fstab at all? [05:40] /etc/fstab [05:41] mneptok: that might work but he needs a portable version of gpg i think then for windows [05:41] need regarding pyNeighborhood in xubuntu [05:41] jbuncher: i'm going to bet that 7-zip portable version would work for you. [05:41] Is there an easier way to mount a drive [05:42] I just had this really bad daydream about Linux...It was a nightmare [05:42] jbuncher: the only question is how do unzip within gnu/linux without using the command line [05:42] jbuncher-> umm, you can run from a livecd, not installing anything on the machine.... on livecd one can use openoffice but may require a download to the usb... [05:42] mount -o loop disk1.iso /mnt/disk [05:42] tried it out still not working mate: here's what i got: http://paste.ubuntu.com/292076/ [05:42] acad, I'm looking at that, though I'm not seeing any obvious encryption. am I missing something? mneptok : I'll look into that, haven't really used gpg before. Is that something where the friend's wife would have to use a command line? [05:42] mneptok; tried it out still not working mate: here's what i got: http://paste.ubuntu.com/292076/ [05:42] mneptok; no i didnt mess with that code [05:42] mnaines: what was it? [05:43] jbuncher: http://www.7-zip.org/ (you have to click the read more link) [05:43] is anyone running ubuntu on a eeepc netbook? [05:43] SoftwareExplorer: I dreamed that Microsoft took Ubuntu, made this http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Nimbus-Aero+Improved+?content=113537 the default theme and called it Windows [05:43] glicks-> ive installed it on a friends, hp 1101 netbook [05:44] n8tuser: How's the battery consumption? [05:44] acad, thanks, missed that 4th bullet [05:45] mnaines: Good thing that the FSF exists, even if i'm not as radical as them, I know they would make a ton of noise if that happend [05:45] I'm going to try that out [05:45] FSF? [05:45] jbuncher, are you john bunch? [05:45] m0r0n-> i dont know, i dont own it, i have to ask my friend [05:45] glicks, "John Bunch"? Nope. [05:45] heh ok jbuncher [05:45] mnaines: Free Software Foundation, the GNU guys, the GPL licence writers [05:45] SoftwareExplorer: so true. We need guys like stallman and the fsf as insane as some of their positions. [05:46] I saw a youtube vid on how to do it and That looks nothing like it. Hell, I have no idea what i am looking at [05:46] SoftwareExplorer: Its only a matter of time before MS does something like that, though [05:46] mneptok; any idea [05:47] mnaines: they might be to proud to admit they failed to make a good OS [05:47] mnaines: You asked what FSF is? [05:47] SoftwareExplorer: And if they do this, they can easily avoid having to admit that [05:47] sebsebseb: I have never been good at deciphering abbreviations [05:47] glicks, who is john bunch? [05:48] mnaines: Free Software Foundation [05:48] jbuncher, heh hes my brother :) [05:48] http://www.lmgtfy.com/?q=FSF [05:48] mnaines: I guess they could sell it, but anyone could make copies that were identical legally, so the free marked would make the disks like a dollar [05:48] acad, not get off topic, but they don't seem to be that insane in most of their positions. [05:48] glicks, unless your name is Mike, I'm not your brother then :) [05:48] SoftwareExplorer: PM me...I can make you laugh [05:49] weres the weed at? [05:49] mnaines: uhh, I'm new to IRC , how do I do that? [05:49] jbuncher: ohh i'd agree. i think the fsf and stallman both make some very good points regarding non-free software. non-free software is hurting our community. [05:49] PerryArmstrong: my guess is that the filesystem on the device is corrupted. you need to fix it with fsck. [05:49] SoftwareExplorer: Right click on my name then click IM [05:49] hey does anyone have any disk excryption experience on a netbook? is it still usable or does it crawn to an unusalble rate [05:49] or even just /home encryption [05:49] SoftwareExplorer: you were also off topic, but it was a slightly interesting one I guess [05:50] !ot > SoftwareExplorer [05:50] SoftwareExplorer, please see my private message [05:50] Is there an easy way to flash your Bios with Ubuntu [05:50] mneptok; so how do i do that [05:50] like mabe a program in synantpic [05:50] use wine [05:50] PerryArmstrong: close the terminal. unmount the disk. remove it from the computer. plug it back in. open a terminal. then "sudo umount /dev/sdb1 && sudo fsck.vfat -yf /dev/sdb1" (no quotes) [05:50] hey guys, is there a option for ubuntu to keep incomplete files like there is in winrar for windows? i usually download about 5-10 rars of a movie to check quality by extractng just those first 5-10 rars then i can tell whether i should waste bandwith or not cause im on a 60gig limit by isp [05:50] wynnerman, i flashed my bios on ubuntu, but with a bootable usb stick [05:50] tried and it didnt do anything === cowo_30 is now known as cowo_nyantai [05:50] jbuncher: the problem i think with excluding non-free software completely is that we never get to the point where gnu/linux is feasible for the masses. [05:50] PerryArmstrong: if you get messages about the device being busy, you have problems. === cowo_nyantai is now known as cowo_30 [05:50] does anybody know how to have 2 hard drives going at once [05:51] does Ubuntu support any type of disk encryption for the filesystem (I guess more of a linux question).. [05:51] er kernel question [05:51] invitingdopeman: yes, are they plugged into your motherboard? [05:51] JabDesign: yes [05:51] JabDesign: use the alternate install CD [05:51] -jabdesign should be an option during install to encrypt home dir [05:51] wynnerman: IMHO, no. [05:52] joebodo: on the base CD or this alternate install CD? [05:52] invitingdopeman: weed? [05:52] would i hook it up to the slave drive === cowo_30 is now known as co_ [05:52] what reasons are there for choosing ubuntu over centos for an internet-facing server? [05:52] jabdesign base [05:52] invitingdopeman: yes, if it is an IDE drive [05:52] panfist: same package management [05:52] invitingdopeman: sata or IDE? [05:52] panfist: *sane [05:52] hey is there a channel for ubuntu netbook? [05:52] jabdesign if you want the entire file system encrypted - it might be alternate - i have not tried that [05:52] whats an IDE drive [05:52] guys any way i can keep incomplete files in archive manager extractions like there is a option in winrar? [05:52] mneptok meaning debs instead of rpms [05:52] "No package 'gtk+-2.0' found! Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you installed software in a non-standard prefix. Alternatively, you may set the environment variables GTK_CFLAGS and GTK_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config." my goodness, what does it mean? [05:52] panfist: exactly [05:53] JabDesign: regular cd can do home directory encryption, whole disk encryption requires alt install cd [05:53] panfist: what is the piurpose of the server? [05:53] -i [05:53] mneptok: Why are Debs apparantly better than RPM's? [05:53] yes alternate .iso has encrypton option [05:53] invitingdopeman: did you install the drive into your PC [05:53] Because I flashed My bios with Vista with an update for my mobo and now I get the blue screen of death whenever I try to boot Vista [05:53] invitingdopeman: That might be better answered in #hardware. [05:53] is there a netbook remix chat? [05:53] sebsebseb: circular dependencies are extremely rare with .deb, not true for .rpm [05:53] invitingdopeman, OMG, is that a real question? What's an IDE drive? [05:54] mneptok: What does that mean? [05:54] no its from another computer [05:54] lo fucking l [05:54] wynnerman: does a live OS work alright? [05:54] mneptok apache, rdbms, python; ssh; [05:54] wynnerman: #windows might be able to answer that one.. not here though [05:54] invitingdopeman: see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrated_Drive_Electronics [05:54] glicks not that i know of - you should be able to ask your questions here [05:54] ya [05:54] anna-bham im new to this stuff [05:54] http://www.lmgtfy.com/?q=IDE [05:54] panfist: i'd use a .deb based distro for such stuff [05:54] I installed Ubuntu hoping I could flash it from here [05:54] Um, an ide cable is that big ass one with all the pins, unlike sata [05:54] sebsebseb: you're a big boy. you know how to Google. :) [05:54] so anyone know what im talking about? [05:54] wynnerman: please watch your language, this is a family friendly channel [05:55] well i was just wondering the performance hit of using encryption on a netbook [05:55] wynnerman: Try not to swear in the channel :) [05:55] invitingdopeman: it is one of the standard hardware interface formats, often used by hard disk drives and cd-rom drives [05:55] Beastmode we do but thats not really an ubuntu ? [05:55] http://www.lmgtfy.com/?q=circular+dependencies [05:55] mneptok what about centos vs. ubuntu for a deployment of many workstations [05:55] Is "big ass" OK for family friendly stuff? [05:55] mneptok; i get device is busy [05:55] acad, while true, that should only be used as a stop-gap. [05:55] Beastmode: i do, but i'm appalled people archive formats that are *already compressed* [05:55] thanks mike [05:55] this is coming from a user with their name as FIRE CROTCH [05:55] mneptok: same. [05:55] anna-bham: if you have to ask, the answer is most likely "no" [05:55] grow up [05:55] PerryArmstrong: that disk has very serious filesystem problems, then [05:55] the standard is SATA now :P [05:55] acad, trying to get 7zip to re-password protect the archive once I've opened it......... [05:55] bastid_raZor: "sudo aptitude install multisync-tools/universe" doesn't do what i'm looking for.... so it seems. i'm not really sure what it is doing actually. [05:55] isnt it? [05:55] mneptok; whats the dolution [05:55] mneptok; whats the solution [05:56] mneptok: I could Google, but I expect you could also just tell me [05:56] ... [05:56] sebsebseb: http://www.lmgtfy.com/?q=FSF [05:56] bastid_raZor: i think it is the enabling that i want it to do... [05:56] so anyway i can download lets say 5 rars of the moves extract it and watch about first 2 mins to see quality? that is how i usually have done it in the past. im sorry for asking noob questions but i've used windows all my life [05:56] ae86-drifter: no not that, that was earlier, and not related [05:56] sebsebseb: OK, i'll stop helping users with problems so that you can be lazy. oh, wait. no i won't. :) [05:56] sebsebseb: http://www.lmgtfy.com/?q=chow+to+use+google [05:56] it was a typo [05:56] there is a option in winrar for windows to "keep incomplete file" [05:57] PerryArmstrong: got a machine with Windows? [05:57] HI....Could someone help me with my Skype please? mic is not working in skype [05:57] ya [05:57] http://www.lmgtfy.com/?q=skype+linux [05:57] Beastmode: VLC(i think) allows you to view inside .rar [05:57] mneptok; nope...but i'll try it at elsewhere...tell me what to do [05:57] bastid_raZor: then again maybe it does... hmm [05:57] unrar -kb possibly [05:57] from "man unrar" [05:57] PerryArmstrong: see if Windows' chkdsk app can fix that filesystem [05:58] hello... how can i reanme device names?? i have sda1 sda3 and sda4... want to rename to sda1 sda2 sda3 [05:58] Crucible, is it a built-in mic, or one that's attached to your webcam? [05:58] satzo ok i have vlc, ill try that and let u know [05:58] sebsebseb, You don't know how many freaking hours we have googled to fix our stuff. Sometimes you have to suck it up and research [05:58] mneptok; okk [05:58] Beastmode: Have you tried the torrents or FTP applications? [05:58] docmax: for what purpose? [05:58] its a platronic headset [05:58] hey all, I am running more than website from my apache2 server, which file do I modify for the virtual hosting? [05:58] will koala be more efficient on netbooks? [05:58] vox, just for correct order [05:58] more than 1, that is [05:58] the one that has a jack for sound and mic [05:58] ae86-drifter: some people don't like the let me Google that for you site, also I didn't see anyone ask about Skype on Linux [05:58] beastmode try unrar -kb [05:59] i can hear myself but when i did a skype test call it does not detect it [05:59] docmax: they're in the order that udev discovered them in.. you cant really re-arrange them === navap_ is now known as navap [05:59] lilzeus: You would want to make a new file in /etc/apache2/sites-available for the new virtual host, then activate it by doing "sudo a2ensite thenewfilename" [05:59] joebodo: Thank you. [05:59] Satzo, vlc doesnt allow it [05:59] sebsebseb: read back about 30 lines [05:59] vigo, im using Klibido [05:59] Joebodo, ill try that [05:59] I haven't used Skype since a test on an XO lat year [05:59] would i run that command in terminal? [05:59] vox, i have old links to sda2 which s now sda3.. i REALLY have to change it back [06:00] lilzeus: I suggest searching for "apache name-based virtual hosting" [06:00] docmax: why are you linking the device and not the mount point? [06:00] FireCrotch: ok, I have made the new file, but the configuration seems quite different from the way the virtual server files were configured under windows apache2 [06:00] Beastmode, yes === Amaranth_ is now known as Amaranth [06:00] will karmic koala be more efficient on netbooks? [06:00] anna-bham: fortunatly I have good hardware, and so I haven't needed to Google to find out how to configure stuff. Also I was asking someone something in particular, something I didn't even know about before. [06:00] when i go to options all it gives me is PULSEAUDIO SERVER local [06:00] crucible are you using skype 2.1.0.47 ? i know that this version was supposed to address some sound issues [06:00] FireCrotch: like the example 'default' file is quite different [06:01] hi all.. is anyone here familiar with icecast2 and ices2 setup? [06:01] yeah 2.1.0.47 [06:01] should i uninstall it? [06:01] acad, thanks for the portable 7zip suggestion, looks like that won't work though. The portable app just so happens to remember the password to decrypt the archive, which somewhat defeats the purpose. [06:01] vox, anyway.. i cant change them now'? [06:01] sebsebseb, You wouldn't believe what comes up on the Google for your issues. Yeah, it takes a long time, but you'll eventually find your solutions [06:01] lilzeus: I've never seen the file on Windows, so I don't know what it's like. Ubuntu's default file works just fine. I would suggest copying that, and modifying it for the new host [06:02] crucible my skype uses pulseaudo server (local) for mic and speakers [06:02] anna-bham: agreed/ [06:02] joebodo, no go [06:02] Hi, How can you go back to Adobe Flash 9.0 when there is sites that still require it to run?

[06:02] lilzeus: The most important thing you'll need is ServerName yourdomain.com in the new file, and ServerName yourotherdomain.com in the default file [06:03] Right [06:03] Netizen1993, I installed icecast on my server a long time ago [06:03] docmax: in a word, no. it's bad foo to hardlink to block devices, as the device ID can change depdning one what drives are connected/disconnected at boot time. this is why UUID's came about [06:03] you certain its not your rig? can you pm me the url? [06:03] ye i opened the rar with archive manager to look at options but didnt see one that would indicate "keep incomplete file" [06:03] Netizen1993, But, I broke it doing an upgrade and haven't bothered to fix it yet [06:03] anna-bham: i'm having some problems.. [06:03] sebsebseb: Scroogle it! -com is a great little trick. [06:03] think you could take a peek at what I'm seeing? [06:03] FireCrotch: that is what I am doing, it just seems so different, and there are many more lines that I expected and some missing...like ServerName [06:03] anna-bham: I have icecast2 setup http://www.our-bazar.net:8000 [06:03] but I'm having extreme issues with ices2 [06:03] here's my log output [06:03] http://www.pastebin.ca/1617249 [06:03] here's my configuration file [06:03] Netizen1993: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:03] Netizen1993, icecast is hella annoying to set up [06:04] vigo: oh? [06:04] lilzeus: what kind of stuff did you expect? [06:04] sebsebseb: I use scroogle as start page, is great and fast. [06:04] Netizen1993: I might be able to help you set up icecast, I did it on my debian server. what build are you using? [06:04] FireCrotch: well, maybe a handful of commands [06:04] vigo: I didn't know about it [06:04] Satzo: You know what Farkle is on facebook? When I go to play it, it won't load the game like I was before I upgrade to Flash 10. There is also some music players I was trying today that wouldn't load too because of this. === ubuntu_ is now known as acad [06:04] what do you mean hans? build. === acad is now known as acad2 [06:05] sebsebseb: You do now.

[06:05] x86 [06:05] my httpd.conf file is empty [06:06] lilzeus: my apologies, it's apache2.conf [06:06] lilzeus: try apache.conf [06:06] hans: may I im you?

[06:08] I tried Wicd too. No fix. Back with network-manager now. Still nothing. [06:08] just get a working stream that has sound. almost had it earlier tonight.. active stream but no sound.. [06:09] after that I haven't had any luck getting it going since. :( [06:09] what does ifconfig -a tell you about wireless adapter? [06:09] Netizen1993: run off the server, or a live show? [06:09] likemindead, Have you checked the bios to make sure wifi was enabled? [06:09] and did you tell WiCD to see it also? [06:09] well.. it would be a live show I guess. [06:10] hi guys, whats hot [06:10] http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/292087/ [06:11] hello . i have installed samba and shared a folder. how to see it in windows [06:11] Speaking of wifi, I broke my partner's wifi even though I edited menu.lst and we're running eeebuntu. He's used to Windoze stuff, so he blames me cause he had to run Linux. [06:11] Netizen1993: if it's a live cast, you don't need ices at all. regardless, start over from scratch using this guide: http://www.howtoforge.com/linux_webradio_with_icecast2_ices2 === marcelus is now known as marcellus [06:12] Icecast is really cool. I used to stream video and audio from XOs to my user group and they'd watch in fascination at my cats for hours [06:12] I started with that guide.. but they are only setup for local and with a play list.. [06:13] I'd be using something like amarok. or mixx [06:13] to make the show. [06:13] how can I rotate a pdf doc ? [06:13] and they also talk about ices2 in that howto. [06:13] Netizen1993: I used that guide to set mine up, and mine is live show [06:13] just follow it, and when you're done, I'll help you from there [06:14] hello . i have installed samba and shared a folder. how to see it in windows [06:14] hans: I'm sorry I'm not trying to be difficlut.. I have been pounding away at this all day.. and I"m no closer now than I was when I started.. I'm extremely frustrated.. so If I sound short it's not personal.. [06:14] i see only the windows machine itself in windows [06:14] how do I do this without ices2? [06:14] I remember getting icecast running on my Fedora 7 server and I had to compile a bunch of crap [06:15] I have icecast2 up and running [06:15] just I can't connect a stream to it [06:15] ices2 is a completely different thing and might need to be compiled, if my drunken self can remember what in the heck I did [06:15] http://our-bazar.net:8000 [06:15] Netizen1993: you just need to connect your computer to icecast2 and initate a stream [06:15] the player and music and icecast all reside on the same computer [06:16] my server [06:16] your local machine is your server? [06:16] Netizen1993, Well, that's easier if your source machine is the server [06:16] ruby_on_tails, google stapler [06:16] yes, it's all here in house. [06:16] :) [06:16] its a python app that can do such things [06:16] But it's a true pain to install [06:16] not really anna-bham, the difference is using a domain name vs 127.0.0.1, and a much slower connection speed [06:17] I have a domain. [06:17] I know, Netizen1993. give me a minute.

[07:07] Please don't ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily me [07:08] I have dual boot with ubuntu [07:08] Akos_beginner: Is this error when you boot windows and not Ubuntu?? [07:08] Yes, when I boot wondows [07:08] i use to have dual boot [07:08] Akos_beginner, did your windows session shut down correctly ? [07:08] yes. [07:08] Akos_beginner: This issue is most likely with Windows - which version? [07:09] xp [07:09] looks like you're entering ##windows domain [07:09] If I get permission, it's just sound, so what site can I upload just a file for download to? I've heard about something like Mozy. Any suggestions? [07:09] but if I mount it, there is a boot.ini, everything [07:09] xp is cool vista and 7 sucks [07:09] Akos_beginner: You could try to let XP repair the Windows installation [07:09] Akos_beginner: check which partition is marked bootable unless you're going from grub to the partition [07:09] need help [07:10] !offtopic | trey__ [07:10] trey__: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[07:11] rashed2020, imo 9.10 is pretty stable right now [07:11] Docteh: don't suggest that [07:11] How does upgrading from Beta to final work? [07:11] haha [07:11] MTecknology: then ban me from here :) [07:11] rashed2020: do an update [07:11] rashed2020: Just like regular updates. But #ubuntu+1 is the place for Karmic questions [07:11] I usually stick to LTSs. [07:11] There is a tool boot_info_script032.sh, here is the output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/292112/ [07:11] *!*@*.shadowmage.org [07:11] rashed2020: next lts is 10.04 IIRC [07:11] rashed2020, update-manager -d [07:12] !lts [07:12] LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Hardy (Hardy Heron 8.04). The next LTS release is scheduled to be 10.04 [07:12] gparted is a gui for fdisk. i no how to solve to problem but i dont no how to code [07:12] gud morning linux .. [07:12] gday [07:12] I thought 9.10 was an LTS. Damn it. I'm upgrading anyway, it looks too nice to ignore. [07:13] rashed2020: update-manager -d will upgrade you to karmic; otherwise if you start using the beta - then a standard update will have you on it [07:13] rashed2020: watch the language [07:13] your not going to help [07:13] Really? The D word is bad? [07:13] trey__: You ignored my advice [07:13] rashed2020: ya [07:13] MTecknology: And regular updates from Beta take me to final? Did I understand that correctly? [07:14] I have found quite a similar issue: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1070007&page=2 [07:14] rashed2020: correct. But #ubuntu+1 for Karmic support [07:14] rashed2020: *IF* nothing breaks in between. Big if. [07:14] yay we can use the d word again [07:14] Wherethis command solved the problem: sudo dd if=XP_nine.txt of=/dev/sda1 bs=1 seek=80 skip=80 [07:14] careful with that. [07:14] woah woah woah [07:14] Docteh: Please stay ontopic. [07:15] i don feel like having to demount then fdisk bla bla something then something that i have to go detiled in [07:15] Who's getting the grub error? [07:15] Akos_beginner: don't dick around with dd onto partitions [07:15] Flannel: dont say woah woah woah? [07:16] Docteh: Watch the language. [07:16] okay, but there is even less idea... [07:16] so let me tell you what conflict it is having [07:16] rashed2020: suggest a better word for that sentance then [07:16] haha [07:16] Backing up gf's lappy now to put 9.10 beta on ;) [07:16] do you have a sd slot on your computer [07:17] Docteh: "Oh my" [07:17] locky ot - but i think the biggest change in 9.10 is ext4 - that requires a reinstall to get the full benefits [07:18] What is strange, that when I choose the windows to boot, I got the 'hard disk error' messages very very fast. [07:18] rashed2020: Don't Oh my with dd and specific partitions [07:19] Akos_beginner: its because the error is coming from bios or MBR [07:19] Has xp ATM [07:19] MTecknology i want to use gparted [07:19] locky, FYI 9.10 beta is sucking down on average 50-100MB of updates a day right now. You might want to wait until release... [07:19] I used ext4 with 9.04 at home and was very happy with it [07:19] hey how do i do a defrag [07:19] trey__: He left. [07:19] for whut im trying to do [07:19] !defrag [07:19] The default Ubuntu filesystem (ext3) is engineered to avoid fragmentation issues in most cases, see http://linkpot.net/behead/ for a simple example on how it achieves this. [07:19] chrissy, you dont [07:20] Yes, that means the windows has no problem, but the MBR or BIOS regarding the windows boot has. [07:20] can you help me [07:20] i cheked out and my issue was really a bug, it's already reported [07:20] trey__: What are you trying to do? [07:20] I would like to change a user's home directory. When I look at that users current home directory it is filled with files (I guess system files, I did not put them there). If I change the user's home directory do those files need to be there? Will they be recreated in the new folder? [07:21] ok when i turn off my laptop it says system halted and i have to manually shutt it off [07:21] what causes this [07:21] ACPI perhaps [07:21] im trying to get gparted to reganise my sd slot [07:21] maestrojed: default files are from /etc/skel, don't really need them but they help [07:21] how do i fix that [07:21] chrissy, is acpi enabled in bios? [07:21] do you have a sd slot [07:22] not sure [07:22] check it out [07:22] Docteh: help? as in performance or as in they are nice to have. Because I will let /home/username exist so they will be available. I just will change the "active" user's directory [07:22] do i enable it if it is not [07:22] trey__: I do. It worked right out of the box so I never had to mess around with it. And as far as I can tell gparted can't help your computer recognize an SD slot. [07:22] chrissy, yes.. google acpi as well.. for your own good :) [07:23] just so u know what it is [07:23] that one [07:23] ok i will try now thanks so much [07:23] np [07:24] evidentially i installed ubuntu through windows (mental fart with consequences...). i have backed up everything important and would like to 're-install' but realized...i don't know how. what would be the best way to go about this? [07:24] maestrojed: just nice to have [07:24] hey,can i upgrade from 8.10 to 9.10 directly? [07:24] shadeslayer: no, you'll have to go to 9.04 in between [07:25] purplefool: boot to windows and use add/remove programs to uninstal ubuntu like any other app [07:25] bah... [07:25] shadeslayer: you have to go via jaunty [07:25] ActionParsnip, well now...that sounds easy enough. thx [07:25] hello, why can't i see free disk space after moving huge file to another partition? [07:25] purplefool: thats the idea, you can then reinstall and have a fresh install [07:25] oh well [07:26] i looks like file is still there [07:26] it* [07:26] Filled it up maybe? :p [07:26] Doctech: Thanks! [07:27] izmaelis: for laughs check the trash or do like df -h /source then df -h /target and make sure its different partition [07:27] and if i upgrade to 9.04 via a internet connection,how big is the download? [07:28] So what's the word on 9.10, any cool things? [07:28] shadeslayer: depends on how much you installed, its not too too long if you have a fast connection [07:28] !karmic | chiques [07:28] chiques: 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 [07:28] is there is any DVD for LTSP ubuntu 9.04 , [07:28] Docteh: its a base install,just installed it on a friends PC last night,he has a 256 kbps connection [07:29] oh, i found what was wwong. I downloaded huge file with rtorrent, moved that file from the partition i downed it to and forgot to delete torrent from rtorrent [07:29] shadeslayer: base as in "base" or as in similar to whats on the livecd? [07:30] Docteh: live cd [07:30] izmaelis: does rtorrent not supprt moving the storage of the data? [07:30] hmm [07:30] ok, weird question [07:30] What isthe deal here [07:30] no sound! [07:31] say I get a PS3, does it rely on that ghetto ms to watch videos off my pc? [07:31] hoold on [07:31] evilaim, it doesnt need to [07:31] what do you mean? [07:31] shadeslayer: are you upgrading from the cli? if you do it'll give you a super long list of what its downloading and how big the download is [07:31] well... i ended up using XP as a transcoder [07:31] but you can use ubuntu to transcode too [07:31] eeeeeeew [07:31] i know.. [07:32] hey i wanted to remove a package [07:32] it tells unable to lock [07:32] the GUI *may* do that as well, but it tells you before it starts [07:32] but the showstopper for me was 1080p(at build time) wouldnt run smooth with ubuntu [07:32] though i am not running anything else [07:32] Docteh: hmmm....im not too sure that his connection will last that long,im giving him a alternate cd torrent which can be used as a upgrade cd [07:32] is there any command to check how actually pkg manager got locked? [07:32] evilaim, http://ps3mediaserver.blogspot.com/ [07:32] thats what i used [07:33] WHY does sound not fucking work [07:33] kosmic: Please mind your language [07:33] that you know [07:33] !ohmy | kosmic [07:33] kosmic: Please remember that all Ubuntu IRC channels share the same attitude of providing friendly and polite interaction with all users of all ages and cultures. Basically, this means no foul language and no abuse towards others. [07:33] but support is not available [07:33] shadeslayer: it downloads everything and _then_ installs btw [07:33] Ok, this is prolly dumb, but if I install ubuntu on a PS3, will it still play my games nativly? [07:33] Docteh: ok [07:33] evilaim, yes [07:33] but..... [07:33] evilaim: no [07:33] ps3 and linux is a letdown [07:34] ActionParsnip, yes it does [07:34] they can coexist [07:34] evilaim: you restart the ps3 to play games [07:34] ... [07:34] Satzo: so you can play PS3 games through ubuntu on a PS3? [07:34] Oh, so it's a dual boot? [07:34] ActionParsnip, : NO [07:34] sry for caps [07:34] it is a dual boot scheme [07:34] linux on PS3 works thru sony's hypervisor [07:34] What would be the point of having ubuntu on the console then? [07:34] Satzo: i thought that, the way it was worded came across as 'Can I play PS3 games in Ubuntu" [07:34] hang on evilaim i gota link for you about this [07:34] rip blu ray discs [07:35] is there any command to check how actually pkg manager got locked? [07:35] oooo really?

Emulator heaven. [07:37] rashed2020, yep [07:37] whenever I run opera or firefox my ram cache is like at 79-90% why is that? [07:37] evilaim: so you wont be running compiz if you want any kind of system responsiveness, grab XUbuntu or install LXDE / Fluxbox as your DE [07:37] the con is the video device on PS3 isnt accessed directly by linux [07:37] This has interested me for a while, but never really looked into [07:37] ActionParsnip, i think yellowdog 6 is the latest for PS3(PPC really) [07:38] evilaim: I'm not sure but I think the usual method for consoles applies, but not here [07:38] evilaim, the reasons i mentioned discouraged me from bothering [07:38] Satzo: true [07:38] U-b-u-n-t-u: reduce plugins can help [07:38] hmm [07:38] time to go home.. im at work later than i need to haha [07:38] cyaz folks [07:38] If you want a good laugh: Look up running Vista in VirtualBox in Ubuntu on a PS3.

[08:00] ActionParsnip, mv ~/.mozilla ~/.mozilla-old........... really seem to help? [08:00] what does that mean? [08:00] hehe [08:00] KB1JWQ, ok bitlebee [08:01] oh wow what an annoying nickname [08:01] whats the comand to either list system spcs or amount of ram? [08:01] revenge: bitlbee [08:01] KB1JWQ should stop being so logical: +1 [08:01] anyone else? [08:01] U-b-u-n-t-u: its the folder that stores the settings and plugins for firefox, if it gets corrupted for some reason, the already bloated browser gos haywire [08:01] noodleson, so what would happen if they went along with our petition [08:01] ActionParsnip: ok is this version 2.6.32 has been implemented in any version of ubuntu...or which is the last kernel version impleented for ubuntu? [08:01] petitions don't work. [08:01] al__, ram specs with "$ free" [08:01] ActionParsnip, so should I uninstall opera too? and reinstall it? [08:01] U-b-u-n-t-u: renaming it then rerunning it gives you a stock profile (but we only renamed so we can roll back) [08:01] KB1JWQ, ok i can spell it [08:01] kosmic: we could play shockwave games on linux [08:01] revenge: it's a CLI app [08:02] how do you watch drm videos in ubuntu [08:02] ?? [08:02] revenge: do you use the terminal a lot? [08:02] noodleson, oh i see. [08:02] rafiq: i only know the version exists. Ive seen debs around but i didnt install them [08:02] rafiq: For goodness's sake, dude! 2.6.32 isn't even stable yet! [08:02] ZykoticK9: : nice. ta [08:02] mneptok, im sort of new but i like terminal [08:02] U-b-u-n-t-u: you can rename ~/.opera too to test that [08:02] My nvidia-settings is lacking 1600x1200, how can i specify it? [08:02] al__, you can use commands starting with ls like lsmod, lspci to get system specs ... [08:02] does Ubuntu server reboot automatically after a server upgrade? [08:03] revenge: bitlbee, IIRC, requires irssi. but i may well be wrong. i don't use bitlbee. [08:03] ActionParsnip, is there anything else I should do now or? [08:03] syrius, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats for possible answer [08:03] Bitlbee just requires an irc client. [08:03] Laque: gksudo nvidia-settings write the X config file, then edit the file manually to set the resolution you want [08:03] asia: ok, will try them [08:03] ActionParsnip, I mean to firefox [08:03] HELP : does Ubuntu server reboot automatically after a kernel update? [08:03] ActionParsnip: I'll try that [08:04] Laque: its old school but works [08:04] free_loader: NO, IT DOES NOT [08:04] i only found out the other day you can start a command then hit tab tab for list of matching options [08:04] free_loader: no [08:04] thats the best newbie tip i have ever had [08:04] hi all. guys please suggest any good soft to scan from printer to pdf. i tryied xsane but it can't attach 2 or more paper in to one pdf [08:04] hi guys , I want to install ubuntu 9.04 on a laptop using usb, but the laptop has no option to boot from the flash memory, is there anything I can do to this problem, the laptop has windows xp on it now [08:04] free_loader, I don't think servers boot automatically after update [08:04] mneptok, i i can access it on irc, i am looking on how to do it [08:04] mneptok : is there a way to turn off automatic kernel updates? [08:04] al__: it also works with IRC nicks! [08:04] al__: great isnt it, thinng is you'll start doing it in emails and text files too, very amusing [08:05] free_loader: pin the kernel packages [08:05] free_loader, but you may try using ksplice to avoid rebooting after every kernel update [08:05] thanks asia , vox but is there a way to turn off automatic server updates? [08:05] abe3k-> does the laptop have a cdrom? [08:05] ActionParsnip: i do it with my wife. "today we need to TAB .... TAB ...." *blank stare* [08:05] n8tuser : yes, but a bad one [08:05] Just wondering, would it be ok for example if i have one hdd mounted at / and another mounted at /home? [08:05] well if no one knows about PXE, any way I can copy an .iso to a partition so I can boot into the installation? [08:06] any install from iso hacks at all? [08:06] asia ksplice? I'll look it up [08:06] mneptok: hahaha, awesome [08:06] mneptok: i do that too :) [08:06] ksplice troubles me. [08:06] ActionParsnip: hehhee, yeah I have already started doing it, wondering why the computer cant predict the word I am thingking of [08:06] How do I set madwifi to auto-scan? Like in Windows' "Refresh network list?" [08:06] n8tuser : I used my main desktop to create the usb from ubuntu [08:06] nperry, that's very common to do - it's a Good idea! [08:06] mneptok : and how do I pin kernel packages? [08:06] al__: xp does it in cmd.exe too :) [08:06] abe3k-> i have not thought about it too much... [08:07] free_loader, I read this article once.. it might help..http://linuxers.org/article/make-your-system-rebootless-using-ksplice [08:07] ZykoticK9: I know its best prctice to do with different partions not to sure if able to do different hdds [08:07] ActionParsnip: Also, the settings state that my NVidia 8400 card has 512MB of memory and that my onboard NVidia 8300 is using 512MB (taking some of my ram). Is it benefiting me that the onboard has VRAM? If not, how to i stop it from taking my RAM? [08:07] free_loader: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-apt-get.en.html [08:07] nperry, even better with 2 HDs! [08:07] How is UbuntuOne closed source? Don't the devs refuse to include flash cuz it's not open sourced? Is it just me or am I sensing hypocrisy here? [08:07] n8tuser : I tried using wubi but after booting process starts it gives my a busy box message and stops the boot [08:07] vox, ya there are some problems with ksplice.. [08:08] rashed2020: the client, which is included, is open soruce [08:08] Just hope the /home hd doesn't die first :P [08:08] nperry: LVM might be beneficial to you depending on what you're doing [08:08] ActionParsnip: yes but not quite with the same finese [08:08] Laque: if you only want 1 dispay, disable the onboard. [08:08] rashed2020: the server is not. this is similar to how you may use an open soruce twitter client like Gwibber but the Twitter server is still closed [08:08] al__: true as tab in ubuntu also completes the options [08:09] kb1jwq: thanx for the info buddy...can i know the latest and stable kernel.. [08:09] maco: Touche. [08:09] paipimenta_: I'm using at my desktop - I've been testing karmic out last couple of months but what i want to do with Lucid is be able to fresh install couple of weeks [08:09] rafiq: kernel.org [08:09] paipimenta_: So wo with /home i would have to make backups all the time. And it saves all my configs [08:09] ActionParsnip: well my motherboard supports hybrid SLI so they could very well be working together. I just want to know if they are in ubuntu, or if disabling the onboard would be better. [08:09] kb1jwq:thank you [08:10] mneptok asia thanks for that [08:10] rafiq: Ayup. [08:10] Laque: well if you need the ram and the cad uses the system ram, disable it [08:10] s/cad/card [08:10] mneptok asia I'll look it up. I'm running a server that randomly reboots and last just gives me a timestamp === grturner__ is now known as grturner [08:10] paipimenta_: Would LVM be worth it for my type of setup :s [08:10] maco: But if Canonical is all about open source, then why have a closed source product? [08:11] rashed2020: flash and nvidia drivers are proprietary too [08:11] free_loader, I think there is something wrong with booting randomly.. you should probably check it up.. [08:11] rashed2020: *shrug* it's software-as-a-service [08:11] rashed2020, it's the same thing as redhat. use the freeloaders to test your stuff to make money on [08:11] ActionParsnip: Yeah, but they're not made by Canonical nor are they included in the default installation. === Ronald_ is now known as Ronald [08:11] guys , I want to install ubuntu 9.04 on a laptop using usb, but the laptop has no option to boot from the flash memory, is there anything I can do to this problem, the laptop has windows xp on it now, and I tried using wubi from the flash but after booting process starts it gives my a busy box message and stops the boot, I can boot from the cdrom and I can see the ubuntu desktop then the cdrom drive hangs there, the problem is from the drive because it can't [08:11] read cds very good. any help is appreciated. [08:12] rashed2020: but they are on canonical's servers [08:12] free_loader: most likely a hardware issue [08:12] asia: yep, doesn't make sense.. my hunch is that it could be kernel updates that are causing this [08:12] !unetbootin [08:12] For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [08:12] vox: hardware compatibility issue you mean? [08:12] rashed2020: mixing in some proprietary stuff isnt a bad thing if it gets you doingwhat you need / want to do [08:12] free_loader: no, defective hardware [08:12] free_loader, check the syslogs before reboot.. they are a good way to track faults.. [08:12] free_loader: most likely ram [08:12] hey folks, I want to install OS from iso without burning... anyone familiar with PXE or alternative? [08:13] Shame. I would have LOVED to run my own UbuntuOne server. I can totally see a few of the guys converting to Linux just to get an easy back up route. [08:13] ActionParsnip: amount of ram isn't really an issue, i just more want to find out if the onboard is doing anything === [newbie] is now known as Meg6pam [08:13] what are we arguing about over canonical anyways? [08:13] * free_loader thanks vox and asia profusely [08:13] grturner: We're talking about UbuntuOne. [08:13] paipimenta_: Yes. [08:13] !pxe [08:13] Sorry, I don't know anything about pxe [08:13] * free_loader for the help and keeping their nicks short! [08:14] isn't that the customized support that canon provides? [08:14] rashed2020: I'm sure a FOSS version will be available soon, whether from Canonical or otherwise. But this is somewhat offtopic, we can continue it in #ubuntu-offtopic [08:14] free_loader: no ubuntu update will ever, ever, reboot any machine [08:14] rashed2020: there is a free server for the same purpose, but i dont know the name top of my hea [08:14] vox : that'w what I thought too [08:14] free_loader: it may advise you that YOU need to reboot the machine, but that is all [08:14] Laque: disable it and bootup, see what happens. You can always reboot and re-enable it [08:14] rashed2020: maybe google for free open source dropbox? i saw sites comparing it to that [08:14] hah! canonical is selling a nfs home folder solution [08:14] ActionParnsip: that works =P [08:15] vox : the thing is, it doesn't make sense that defective hardware may cause reboots either [08:15] vox: besides, it's a fairly new server [08:15] free_loader: age is irrelevant [08:15] maco, Flannel: They said they were gonna open source Launchpad when that first started. Nothing about that with UbuntuOne. And now I'm off to #ubuntu-offtopic so Flannel doesn't ban me :P [08:16] vox : I wish I could find substantial documentation to support this statement of yours - " no ubuntu update will ever, ever, reboot any machine" [08:16] vox : convincing my boss would have been easier :P [08:17] free_loader : the updates require reboot but they don't automatically reboot the machiene [08:17] abe3k vox : do you know if there's a file that controls auto reboot after kernel updates? maybe it's turned off by default but I'm sure some people will want automatic reboots [08:18] i just installed ubuntu and started to use the 'screen' app and i get no UI in the cli window. so i cant press F9 for the menu and so on. [08:18] rashed2020: write rsync scripts for your friends that use ssh [08:18] pressing F9 just types the '~' character [08:18] bigmack83_, have you tried ctrl+c ? [08:18] if i learn one little tip about linux everyday I will be happy [08:19] I need like a linux tip of the day email [08:19] free_loader: no update will cause a machine to reboot. i was a Senior Ubuntu Systems Support Analyst for Canonical. satisfied? :) [08:19] grturner, that just enters the test '^C' into the line and returns to a new line [08:20] free_loader: imagine if it was a critica server and it randomly rebooted, not very practical [08:20] bigmack83_: have you accidently booted into the rescue system? [08:20] mneptok : haha, wish copy pasting this line was enough! [08:20] shadearg, no im in normal desktop [08:20] mneptok: but I am satisfied .. will look at the hardware for issues as vox suggested [08:21] What is the recommended way to start a script at boot (my own script, one that runs in the background)? [08:21] howdee people [08:21] i can still use the ^a commands, just no UI in the cli window. i ca make a new window, rename one (though you dont see any results), and move to next/previous windows and so on [08:21] !startup | stickyboy [08:21] stickyboy: To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab.

I did something stupid and need some help to fix it. [08:23] al__: install xubuntu and you will get a more responsive system [08:23] How do I set madwifi to auto-scan? Like in Windows' "Refresh network list?" [08:23] ActionParsnip : true, which is why, maybe it's turned off by default. but I will go by mneptok's expertise :) [08:23] hey all wsup [08:23] !madwifi > mo0nykit [08:23] mo0nykit, please see my private message [08:23] jimbeam12: hi [08:23] god i love BUNTS!

[08:26] shadeslayer, 'screen' [08:26] bigmack83_: screen doesn't have any GUI functionality [08:26] al__: should be, yes [08:26] in the cli [08:26] weird then [08:26] grturner: actually, the folder was Trash-0 or something.

[08:26] al__: if not, manually populate the file with: nameserver [08:27] Flannel, normally on the bottom theres small area that shows what screen you on, and your able to press F9 to get into a menu, i dont see those [08:27] grturner: so, I have a Trash-0 and a Trash-1000 folder [08:27] ActionParsnip : I know and so I've known.. this is the first time and I'm perplexed [08:27] abe3k, try the wubi installer that places ubuntu on the drive from within windos [08:27] im in crossfire, will it still work? [08:27] abe3k: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/use-a-floppy-to-boot-usb-pendrive-linux/ [08:27] bigmack83_: The bottom area is a hardstatus line, that's a configuration thing. [08:27] ActionParsnip: : is that a good idea? I could connect to a variety of networks depending on where i am.do I want to hard code the dns server? [08:27] grturner: I'm assuming those numbers are the user ID [08:27] abe3k: you cant boot from USB if the system doesnt support it [08:27] bigmack83_: Oh, you might be talking about screen-profiles? [08:27] Flannel, ok so more just a fancy text border at the bottom than a gui, but yea [08:27] ActionParsnip : it has no floppy x) [08:27] lovinglinux, i dont even have a .Trash or any similar in my home folder [08:28] al__: you can add many to the file, dhcp should add the addresses though via network manager [08:28] !trash | grturner [08:28] grturner: The location of Trash has changed since 8.04, it is now located in ~/.local/share/Trash | Looking for the trash in previous versions: ~/.Trash [08:28] Flannel, i installed screen-profiles and screen-profiles-extras but theres still nothing. but yes thats what im talking about [08:28] bigmack83_: I think screen-profiles has an f9 menu, screen certainly doesn't. [08:28] grturner: is not in the home,. is in another partition that I mount under home [08:28] ActionParsnip: ahh. And what about resolving Netbios names, add them to host , hosts, or host.conf? [08:28] ActionParsnip : if only there was a way todo this from a cd [08:28] like over windows networks [08:29] abe3k: theres a minimal CO [08:29] abe3k: not sure, i'm sure there wil be a way [08:29] *cd [08:29] al__: you could, makes name resolution faster [08:29] abe3k: its basically a netinstall [08:29] Flannel, well before i reinstalled when i just entered 'screen' everything showed up. now on a new install it doesnt [08:29] ActionParsnip: my question was realy which filedo I enter them into? [08:29] lovinglinux, within my .Trash folder under ~/.local/share/Trash i also have two folders names 'files' and 'info' you may want to try making those folders as well [08:30] al__: hosts get added to /etc/hosts [08:30] ok [08:30] ActionParsnip: in my case I mst enter them into hosts because it is across a VPN, and netbios dont seem to work very well over vpn [08:30] grturner: I have those too. [08:31] Flannel, any idea how i would get that hardline then? ive installed screen profiles but nothing and when i try googling it it just up with stuff related to the physical screen monitor [08:31] bigmack83_: screen has an irc channel: #screen [08:31] bigmack83_: well, if you want the f9 thing, then you'll have to get screen-profiles setup, which I know nothing about. [08:31] al__: true, you can add the remote DNS servers in you /etc/resolv.conf but if they use a static IP you may as well use the hosts file [08:32] lovinglinux, what are the permissions on those folders? [08:32] ActionParsnip: nah that dont work properly either, becuase the remote network is a workgroup and doesnt have a proper DNS. [08:32] best to hard code it in hosts file [08:32] Flannel, i found it. apparently in karmic screen has absolutely no hardline, and to use it they renamed screen-profiles to 'byobu', so running 'byobu' instead of screen gets it [08:32] prince_jammys, thanks [08:33] why the heck does FF on my Ubuntu not display flash properly? I just get a grey @play@ type buton [08:33] i have got flashinstalled [08:33] I wonder if someone could help me out, total linux noob, fair warning [08:33] grturner: it seems that trash has something to do with the Windows partition and NTFS. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=402430 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1282123 [08:33] al__: have you tried reinstalling flash?

[08:41] al__: get rid of swfdec-mozilla and libswfdec [08:42] ActionParsnip: sudo apt-install remove ? [08:42] al__: sudo apt-get remove swfdec-mozulla libswfdec [08:42] al__: sudo apt-get --purge remove [08:42] I have a quesiton concerning external harddisk (usb) which are formated in ext3 and permissions...I have two users on my desktop (toomai and joe) and whenever I plug in that harddisk no one of those two can write on it (only root can). The permissions on the folder is correct, but they still cant [08:43] shadeslayer: i read through that before installing and did what it said to do, although the install is pretty straight forward, I don't know that I could've gotten anything wrong... is there something in particular you're thinking? [08:43] seems the screen-profiles package isnt available on ubuntu server either. trying to install them tell me package not found, only the basic 'screen' app [08:43] Flannel, ^^ [08:43] hello. anybody can tell me where to change the runlevel and save it , so the next reboot will enter another runlevel ? plz ?? [08:44] with usb-thumbdrives it works, because it is vfat...so everyone can read and write....how can I do that for the / of the harddisk...so everyone can write new folders on it or mutate his own folders/files [08:44] Screwyluie: some h/w is not supported [08:44] v_v: what runlevel are you trying to boot into, and why? [08:44] ubuntu is not familiar with me anymore. i don't know if it's away from the LSB [08:44] sarloth: i want a text muilti mode [08:44] bigmack83_: What version of Ubuntu? [08:44] v_v: runlevel would be controlled by grub, not ubuntu [08:45] sarloth: wow [08:45] i accidentally removed myself from admin group on my fileserver, is there an easy way to boot in revovery mode with just a keyboard, so i dont have to install a graphics card and monitor? [08:45] toomai, ubuntu should be installed on ext [08:45] sarloth: amazing [08:45] sarloth: i'v never heard about that [08:45] Flannel, hardy 8.10 [08:46] bigmack83_: it is...I just connect an usb external harddisk which is formated to ext3 on which root (/) I want everybody to be able to add new folders or mutate their own [08:46] bigmack83_: 8.04 is Hardy, and screen-profiles didn't make the repos until 9.04 (Jaunty) it seems. [08:46] hello. anybody can tell me where to change the runlevel and save it , so the next reboot will enter another runlevel ? plz ?? [08:46] shadeslayer: yeah I'm aware of linux's hardware limitations.... I think all my stuff is ok, I checked what I could searching around on google and what not... I'll go check for errors see what I come up with [08:46] ActionParsnip: thanks - that worked [08:46] Flannel, oh yea my bad. not hardy. but it is 8.10 [08:46] v_v: do you have a /etc/inittab? [08:46] toomai: no [08:46] v_v: oh... [08:46] al__: cool :) [08:46] v_v: Which runlevel are you trying to enter? [08:46] Screwyluie: ok,but we can never be sure of whats causing this [08:47] toomai: i know inittab, the problem is , i don't know if ubuntu knows it [08:47] Screwyluie: ive gtg as of now.... cya later [08:47] ActionParsnip: whats the SMART monitoring tool? [08:47] toomai, well be careful because that may mean that users of windows that dont recognise linux permissions can write to system files and mess it up [08:47] Flannel: i don't know the number. i want a muilti text mode [08:47] Flannel, ah ok, thanks [08:47] I'm trying to install ubuntu on a mac mini - anyone know if it's possible to install using the DVI connection? My monitor just says "no signal". Was working a minute ago on snowleopard [08:47] bigmack83_: well, there are not windows-users...I work in linux only...and I will only use that external harddisk for backups [08:48] ok [08:48] v_v: All of the runlevels are the same in Ubuntu (and Debian), except for single user mode (and shutdown and stuff) [08:48] bigmack83_: but it is useless if the linuy-users are only able to copy and stuff with sudo instead their own user [08:48] linuy=linux [08:48] Flannel: thanks just tell me where to modify it [08:49] v_v: http://www.debian-administration.org/article/An_introduction_to_run-levels Might be a good place to start [08:49] !bum | v_v [08:49] v_v: Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto [08:49] dhe [08:49] Flannel: but that doesnt actually solve the issue of v_v that there is no /etc/inittab anymore...where editing runlevel was easy as pie [08:50] Flannel: thanks. i cannot open the link [08:50] v_v: sudo apt-get install bum; gksudo bum [08:50] i have got like a dos window in my terminal with a OK button at the end of a message, but when I hit ENTER nothing happens [08:50] the message doesnt go away [08:50] toomai: you are right, im not an old man. i can accept the new stuff, the problem is, i don't know where it is [08:50] ActionParsnip: ok [08:51] al__: press alt+f2 type xkill press enter, click on the annoyance [08:51] ActionParsnip: tried al lthat [08:51] ActionParsnip: : its when I tried to install smartmontools [08:51] al__: is there anything in: ps -ef | less [08:51] v_v: sorry, wasnt suggesting you are an old man...but well...I do not see a reason why the old way had to be changed though...but that is me.... [08:52] ActionParsnip: thanks, but is's not what i want [08:52] ActionParsnip: dont worry [08:52] got it [08:52] groovy [08:52] toomai: Right, upstart changes that. I believe /etc/event.d/ deals with it. Or /etc/init/* [08:52] toomai: so tell me the new way [08:52] toomai: I'm on Hardy, where we still have inittab, so I can't verify. [08:52] v_v: I do not know the new way...sorry...:( [08:53] Flannel: he is trying to change the runlevel, init just changes the services that boot after you boot into runlevel 5 [08:53] oh. . . .wa HAHAHA [08:53] Flannel and v_v: I just googled a bit...inittab is gone and replaced by other scripts used by upstart...it appears that /etc/inittab is gone, but will be used if you make your own [08:53] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently has not worked mount -a hanged with not mounting the folder [08:54] Flannel and v_v: sooooo...either you google for the new place in that event.d or upstart-scripts to determine the runlevel or you take an old inittab and put it in /etc/ and change it to your needs [08:55] righto enough learning for tonight [08:55] night guys [08:55] thanks ActionParsnip [08:55] al__: you were quite successful today :) [08:55] v_v: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/78408/how-do-i-change-default-runlevel-in-ubuntu [08:55] v_v: maybe that helps [08:56] how come my 64 bit ubuntu wont render fonts in jre? example, http://s330.photobucket.com/albums/l416/koshar1/?action=view¤t=good.png [08:56] koshari: what ubuntu version?

[08:58] koshari: http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/libfonts-java may need installing. Could as in #java [08:58] wooo!!!! ubuntu karmic beta works on my pc =) [08:58] sarloth: tell me more about the menu.list.

Does anybody know how to get these to be useful to bash? [09:01] Like how to reverse URL encoding, or just make use of it? [09:01] qdb: you can allow the everyone full access to your data and not need a password but its MASSIVELY unsecure due to whom is included in the everyone group [09:01] how [09:02] it is already [09:02] qdb: change your windows share permissions and file access permissions. I strongly advise having a password [09:02] there is set access to read for all [09:04] qdb: i think if you run: sudo smbpasswd -a $USER and have the same username and password in the user list on the windows side, you should be able to walk in [09:05] it should be regular windows user password on windows side or separate samba password? [09:05] i use it without password [09:06] ActionParsnip do you know what catogory would i file this bug under at launchpad? [09:06] so it should work with pressing enter on passw. prompt but does not [09:06] if it is regular user password [09:06] koshari: jre possibly [09:07] i needed guest option [09:07] but it hangs [09:09] I'm trying to fix a pc where someone has deleted/maltracted the MBR.

[09:10] tasslehoff: you can use test disk to write a FAT to the disk [09:10] ActionParsnip: thanks :) [09:10] tasslehoff, MBRs are not related to partititions, you need to install an MBR [09:10] ActionParsnip, MBRs are not related to filesystem types [09:10] tasslehoff: look at this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery [09:10] !grub | tasslehoff [09:10] tasslehoff: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows?

I'll have a go at "Restoring GRUB" to begin with. [09:12] joaopinto: care to take over ;) [09:12] hehe [09:12] tasslehoff, if you want to recover data, that's a different story [09:12] then you following the link that ActionParsnip provided [09:13] joaopinto: I hope to fix this so I don't have to settle for recovering data. [09:13] NEED HELP: kubuntu beta stays in blackscreen forever after kubuntu charging bars dissapears... come on, thx for broking my laptop?

[10:20] ActionParsnip, i installed it from the repos so it should take care of libs deps and drivs by itself, plus i also have the ubuntu-extras installed and i can watch any kind of video on vlc, youtube etc. plus i do have nvidia drivers correctly installed [10:20] "5.2.6.dfsg.1-3ubuntu4.2" thats the stable package today [10:20] ActionParsnip: Can other who don't know my system user-account and password download from my pc? [10:20] (Jaunty) [10:21] karmic is on 5.2 too [10:21] ActionParsnip: ? [10:21] pqrstuv: you will need to create a new user, they can then connect with the credentials [10:21] 5.2.10* [10:21] sara__: it will not take care of video drivers for you though [10:22] sara__: ok nvidia drivers installed is good [10:22] PHP 5.2.6-3ubuntu4.2 with Suhosin-Patch 0.9.6.2 (cli) (built: Aug 21 2009 21:43:13) [10:22] ActionParsnip: I did in vim /etc/vsftpd.conf , anonymous_enable=YES [10:22] thats what i get after simple sudo apt-get isntall php5-cli [10:22] pqrstuv: then anyone can connect to the server, literally anyone [10:22] jano: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/php5 [10:22] I see no 5.3 [10:23] ActionParsnip, since i had it insalled from the repos i unistalled it and try to put it back from the website, its the latest version at least [10:23] ActionParsnip: What will be the command ? ftp ? ? and what will be the password?

[10:24] hi, please anyone got a macbook? i'm (insert bad word) with it cause i can't run aircrack-ng installed from repos. It's all because the broadcom card and its incompatible driver. I heard about the free b43 driver, but it won't work when i modprobe it, so i need your help :) [10:24] not even debian testing/unstable got 5.3 jano [10:24] pqrstuv: there is no password, you are allowing every man and his dog access to your data [10:24] experimental is running 5.3 [10:24] yeah i see [10:24] so thats why it's 5.2 and not 5.3 [10:24] its not stable yet [10:24] ActionParsnip: But logging as anonymous , if i do ls can't see anything.

[13:14] hi, please anyone got a macbook? i'm (insert bad word) with it cause i can't run aircrack-ng installed from repos. It's all because the broadcom card and its incompatible driver. I heard about the free b43 driver, but it won't work when i modprobe it, so i need your help :) [13:14] myeggo: Perhaps we don't know the answer to your question. You can also try to ask in #ubuntu-server if you link. [13:14] myeggo: s/link/like/ [13:14] Guest269: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkConfigurationCommandLine [13:14] obiwan [13:14] thanks Pici [13:15] obiwan_: you need the firmware files [13:15] obiwan_: can you be more specific ? [13:15] great! in the end somebody to talk about hehe [13:15] /etc/network/interfaces i edited that and messed it up now dont no how to edit it again [13:15] i'll explain [13:15] ? [13:15] there are several generations of macbook. there are those with nvidia graphics, and those "older". [13:15] i got a macbook, wtih a wifi interface and broadcom 4328 rev 02 chipset [13:16] Guest269: you MIGHT want to spend some time reading a few command line basics/tutorials/guides you use a text editor such as nano/vi/vim/mcedit or any of a dozen others. [13:16] i'm trying to run aircrack suite, so i need to put it in monitor mode and all that [13:16] Guest269: how did you edit it befor? You edit it the same way. [13:16] myeggo: run logrotate with the debug and verbose options [13:16] myeggo: that will tell you why something is rotated [13:17] nic1: which pachage? [13:17] package [13:17] obiwan_: I don't understand you. what does aitcrack have to do with macbook ? [13:17] can u name it? [13:17] vggbhm [13:17] Guys, what i need do for external connnection at mysql? I made one user with %, but still cant connect. [13:17] nvnhmok] [13:17] but i can't in ubunt, either in slax, backtrack, and many other distros. In lspci i get "Unknown interface broadcom 4328 ..........." [13:17] ////////////nhno [13:17] obiwan_: you need the firmware files in /lib/firmware in order to modprobe b43 [13:17] Guest269: see the link I posted, it has examples for static and dhcp configs [13:18] rd1381, it is i3-3.b [13:18] Danielpk: mysql server configs have settings to define what range of ip's and users, and so on can connect. check the config files/mysql dics. [13:18] obiwan_: do you have another USB nic ? [13:18] yeah csb, but i don't have b43, i have wl. Do you have a macbook with b43? does it work in monitor mode? [13:18] I mean wifi NIC. [13:18] nope sobersabre :/ [13:18] Danielpk: perhaps a 'listen to' setting in the config file. [13:18] wl drivers and b43 drivers both work for the broadcom chipsets [13:18] Dr_Willis i will check. [13:18] =) [13:18] nic1: no i mean which of that dev packages menioned in their official guide [13:18] obiwan_: what does lspci say to you, again ? [13:18] obiwan_: b43 is the only one that will put the broadcomm into monitor [13:19] obiwan_: try b43 [13:19] yeah, C-S-B , but wl is a new one, and monitor mode is not supported [13:19] yeah, but i read that b43 won't work with 4328 chipset, nor 4318 which is my mum's [13:19] obiwan_: wl works on my card and so does b43 [13:19] slacker_nl: thank you, it gave me a clue - syslog entry were duplicated, anyway, after deleted one of both, it says that old files will be removed, so i guess i only need add a parameter for avoid that [13:20] obiwan_: lspci | grep broad* [13:20] I want to use a command line tool to deal with duplicate files. 10,000's of them. I want to press "2" every time I'm given a choice of which file to preserve, but that's not baked into the utility. Is there any way I can run the program & 'virtually press' 2 thousands of times? [13:20] wl in monitor mode C-S-B ? I'm using wl right now for wifi, but what i need is to set my if in monitor mode [13:20] nic1: and the version of i3-wm in the ubuntu 9.04 it just one version older and newest version [13:20] brb hehe [13:20] obiwan_: monitor mode only with b43 [13:20] alazyworkaholic: 'expect' is a tool to auto mate scripts [13:20] yeah that's what i meant [13:20] !info expect [13:20] expect (source: expect): A program that can automate interactive applications. In component main, is optional. Version 5.43.0-17 (jaunty), package size 308 kB, installed size 628 kB [13:21] obiwan_: so try the b43 module instead of wl [13:21] hi can someone offer some advice about a crash im getting [13:21] what chipset do you have exactly [13:21] obiwan_: ^ [13:21] but for what i read in the b43 developers web, it isn't still compatible with my 4328 chipset model in monitor mode, do you have the same i have? does it work? brb i'm prompting the lspci [13:21] alazyworkaholic: expect can be instructed to answer 2 to cli programs [13:22] !info expect [13:22] expect (source: expect): A program that can automate interactive applications. In component main, is optional. Version 5.43.0-17 (jaunty), package size 308 kB, installed size 628 kB [13:22] Anyone that can recommend a good "Linux for beginners" ebook ? - Appreciate any help :). [13:22] alazyworkaholic: or check out the 'yes' command. 'yes 2 | thecommand' pipes 2 to it forever.. [13:22] veggteppe: ubuntu pocket guide ? [13:22] !training [13:22] documentation is to be found at http://help.ubuntu.com and http://wiki.ubuntu.com - General linux documentation: http://www.tldp.org - http://rute.2038bug.com [13:22] erUSUL: Something called that? gonna google it:) thanks. [13:22] veggteppe: yes is a free ebook [13:22] veggteppe: theres also the gnome docs/help :) [13:23] erUSUL / Dr_Willis: Thanks guys:) [13:23] Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4328 802.11a/b/g/n [14e4:4328] (rev 03), kernel in use ssb and wl and driver wl that's what i get [13:23] veggteppe: check out that del.ico.us web site and see what sites got training./ubuntu tags. [13:23] sry i mean, kernel modules in use ssb and wl, kernel driver wl [13:24] rd1381, dev packages menioned in their official guide ?? i dint get it clearly [13:24] Dr_Willis: Will do [13:24] xcb [13:24] Dr_Willis: Ok, I'll install expect & read the man page. I'm a bit of a noob but I'll try to figure it out. re the yes command. Would it be something like: yes 2 | fdupes -rd ~/Photos ~/Pictures [13:24] obiwan_: i think you aren't going to have any luck getting it to work with monitor mode, I think all the wireless n cards don't work with that [13:24] I'll have a read [13:24] could you tell me which if chipset you have C-S-B ? [13:24] 4311 [13:24] but i don't care it doesn't work in n mode, i'm done if it works in a/b/g [13:24] How can i install pgAdmin on ubuntu? [13:25] rs1381, are you there? [13:25] no router still uses n , so i don't need my card works in that mode [13:25] Hey, can someone help... I have a linux box I'm shelled into but it seems that / is not mounted, well when I look at what's mounted I don't see / mounted and when I run df on the partition / is on I gives me tmpfs mounted on /dev [13:25] 4311, lucky man hehe [13:25] can you explain me a bit more simpler, i am kind of dimlight..new to all this stuff [13:25] obiwan_: not lucky, I put it in there! :P [13:25] 1 question, C-S-B , did you use fwcutter? i read online about extracting firmware , [13:25] alazyworkaholic: try it and see - thats seems to be about righjt. [13:26] nic1: the page i mentioned earlier that was a guide how to build the latest version of ur app on ubuntu ,it had a list of deb files and their urls .but u said they were for debial and for amd64 so i said u can use ubuntu package search to download the coresponding packages [13:26] alazyworkaholic: there are other dupelicate finder programs out there also. [13:26] heheh :P [13:26] obiwan_: yes ?i used fwcutter, but there are files on the net [13:26] this procedure is a disaster : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI . is there anything better for installing these driver on 9.0.4 ? [13:26] alazyworkaholic: IF 'fdupes' accepts that sort of input.. it might not. [13:27] rd1381, when i started following that page, the first statement git itself gave me segfault, so could not progress in my previous attempt [13:27] I strongly suggest to remove it from ubuntu's site. I only have damaged my installation [13:27] C-S-B, i got two options, one is fwcutter +b43, the other is ndiswrapper+the bootcamp windows wifi driver developed by apple [13:27] does anybody have a guide to edit the eth0 so i no how i can set it up for my server please? [13:27] obiwan_: you need the firmware in lib/firmware in order to modprobe b43. easy though, install fwcutter from the ubuntu repo and it handles all that [13:27] Quick question, as a server newbie, but having used nad installed Ubuntu on a home PC several times over the past 18 months, do I need to buy 9-5 support, or will I be able to figure it all out with online forums like I did with the PC Ubuntu? [13:27] obiwan_: ndiswrapper is teh suck imo [13:27] nicl : anything in syslog related to your segfault? [13:28] ok C-S-B ! then we're getting close hehe [13:28] i want to run a few websites from my home pc, but can get the ip configs to work please may somebody help me? [13:28] nic1: look . for installing from source of a program u need some libraries installed as well that the compiler uses for building ur app. they usually have a dev suffix at the end [13:28] hello [13:28] hello [13:29] simon: that really depends on you and what exactly you want to use the server for [13:29] a few more questions hehe, i can actually load b43 but it won't detect my wifi nic, will it when i put the fwcutter working? [13:29] looking for private chat help - xp doesnt start up [13:29] pikustan: /join ##windows [13:29] obiwan_: you'll need to rmmod your wl driver [13:29] jrib: just a file server and DHCP [13:29] yeah sure [13:29] just wl? [13:29] ssb, or any other else? [13:29] simon: enjoy: https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/serverguide/C/index.html [13:29] rd1381, i jusst started following that link, first command is git so running it..i guess that may fail.. [13:29] nic1: so u have to find the coresponding dev packages in ur ubuntu synaptic pack manager.( do u know how too use synaptic??) [13:29] file server for windows apps that run on own PCs such as SAGE [13:29] does anybody do private chat? so aybe somebody could help me with these ip cofigs please? [13:29] so you say i need to get all the other first? [13:29] maybe* [13:30] nicl ? [13:30] It's really annoying that... a help should be published in the official site only if it's a valid help. this one: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI is a real disaster. it only corrupts intallations [13:30] w8 [13:30] rd1381, ya i know how to use synaptic [13:30] !pm | Guest269 [13:30] Guest269: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [13:30] Guest269: your isp supplies you with a static ip? [13:30] yes [13:30] : good [13:30] Then.. i thought when the pc sends a DHCP request it SHOULD always get the same ip then. No need to change anything [13:31] thanks jrib [13:31] i have a static ip, and i want to install a control panel called cpanel, but i have to get the ips sorted out for cpanel to work [13:31] rd1381, thank you, i am working on ubuntu from past 3 months, the first linux box anyways [13:31] so, i must know synaptic atleast. [13:31] git gives an error? segmentation? that one off the worst error in linux. because its hard to diagnose the error source [13:31] still running [13:31] but it keeps brining back an ip like 192.168.1.2 and its trying to say that this is my ip [13:32] nic1: where do u run git command? [13:32] i cant run websites from that ip, only i would see it lol [13:32] rd1381, ya i knew that from small c programs that segfault is hectic to diagnise [13:32] Guest269: thats the local lan ip. Not the wan ip. perhapss you can jsut set cpanel settings to use the other ip. [13:32] in my command prompt [13:32] i think there are some errors in git [13:32] if i wanna install xen on my pc i just have to install xen-utils do i? [13:33] it only pics up 192.168.1.2 it doesnt pick up any other ips, thats why im trying to edit it so it would pick up my inet ip [13:33] ? [13:33] nic1: i mean where is it running from? maybe u dont have access to that part of hardrive ( but ithis is a small chance of occuring) [13:33] rd1381, shall i tell you the first errror? [13:33] yes [13:33] Guest269: i think you need to check cpanel configs.. not the network ip configs. [13:33] i dint get you on that harddrive matter [13:34] so i use a dhcp " think thats right" [13:34] and in a minute ill show you exactly what i mean [13:34] I have Thunderbird set to play the "Default system sound for new mail" when new mail arrives, which it turns out is a very jarring unpleasant beep. How can i find what that default system sound is, and change it? [13:34] says that 192.168.1.2 is my main server ip adress [13:34] nic1:nevermind [13:34] nic1can u tell me the error? [13:35] error: Failed connect to code.stapelberg.de:80; Unknown error 2 (curl_result = 7, http_code = 0, shal = some hex numbe [13:35] i need to change 192.168.1.2 to 82.32.204.62 [13:35] nic1 : oh so its a network error [13:35] ya ths is the first error [13:35] is it? so how can i try fixing it? [13:35] Guest269: and you have a whole lan? this pc has 2 network cards? or whate exactly? [13:36] Dr_Willis [13:36] nic1: when it says failed to connect , what do u get from that? it means it cant reach the desired website [13:36] please may i pm? [13:36] Guest269: not really. I may have to leave at any time. I think you might be confused about some network basics however. [13:37] * Dr_Willis is babysitting [13:37] nic1: can u try this? git clone git://code.stapelberg.de/git/i3 [13:37] rd1381, ya that sounds obvious [13:37] ya sure, wil try right now [13:37] this replaces htpp with git [13:37] ok [13:37] shall i pastebin the whole results of previous git? [13:37] Guest269-> do you have a network layout drawing? can you post that in pastebin? [13:38] yea [13:38] http://paste.ubuntu.com/292339/ [13:38] nic1: no [13:39] just test the new one and report back [13:39] ok. i am running the command suggested [13:39] i need to change the inet addr to my internet ip [13:39] Guest269-> also kindly change your nick to something unique and not start with Guest, its hard to tab complete your nick. [13:39] ? [13:39] ok [13:39] it tells, fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly === Guest269 is now known as kLoNeD [13:39] there we go [13:39] hey C-S-B you still there? [13:39] nic1, yeah same response here so its not on your end [13:39] rd1381, did you use i3 wm anytime? [13:39] nic1 sigh [13:39] obiwan_: yup [13:40] no [13:40] kLoNeD: and your pc is connected to a ROUTER? or direct to the internet? [13:40] obiwan_: just [13:40] nice :) [13:40] nic1: no never heard of it [13:40] oh.. [13:40] through a router @ Dr_Willis [13:40] nic1 i just use kde and i am happy [13:40] kLoNeD: thats your issue then. [13:40] kLoNeD: the ip of the pc is correct.. Your ROUTER has the other ip. [13:40] it's not for my use, but for my work.. [13:40] kLoNeD: you have to forwared the traffic to the pc [13:41] Dr_Willis i need to make inet addr:192.168.1.3 look like inet addr:82.32.204.62 [13:41] ? [13:41] hey i got a question, for b43 to work, do i need to extract the firmware from the b43 driver right? can i extract it from the wl? in this web they work with b43 but they get it from wl-apsta.o please take a look http://www.linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43 [13:41] kLoNeD: You need to forward traffic to the pc via the proper settings in the router configs [13:41] because cpanel keeps picking up 192.168.1.3 when it should look like 82.32.204.62 [13:41] rd1381, i am running git again.. [13:41] kLoNeD: No it should NOT look like 82.xxxxxxxx [13:41] nic1:oh.why for work? is not commercial .its not minimal.its not popular :) [13:42] ok, so how do i get cpanel to pick up my 82.32.204.62 ip [13:42] ? [13:42] kLoNeD: the connections to your router need to get forwared to that 192.168.x.x ip [13:42] as ive said 5 times now. [13:42] boss told me to use, so just trying [13:42] i have it all forwaded [13:42] it all setup === dexter_ is now known as Dexter [13:42] kLoNeD: then you missed somthing or it would be working. [13:42] rd1381, do you have any idea about any tiling wm? [13:43] kLoNeD: you could set up the pc on a 'dmz' on the router also.. that puts the pc totally open to the internet. [13:43] i dont see what ive missed tho, i just put cd in installed ubuntu and then pc restarted thats all ive dne === johnpt is now known as johnpaulett [13:43] nic1, xmonad is a tiling window manager [13:43] how about awesome wm then? i am asked to use one of awesome or i3 [13:43] hello, does anyone know how much RAM ubuntu uses in comparison to say.. vista? [13:43] kLoNeD: so you did not go to the router configs pages and set up port forwarding then? [13:43] nic1: oh its tiling now , isit? no as i said i am a kde user [13:43] i have done this via routerlogin.net [13:43] nic1, there is also scrotwm [13:44] coz_, i started using xmonad, it's too easy to install, but difficult to make it up i think..tried for few days but couldn't make it up and working fully [13:44] No idea what routerlogin.net is.. I use my routers ip ofhttp:// 192.168.1.1 [13:44] scrotwm? i dint hear of this [13:44] if i gave you my internet ip, username and password, you would be able to connect to my machine [13:44] nic1, ah ok I know there is an irc channel for that and a fellow named amphi I would talk to if you want to try again [13:44] hello, does anyone know how much RAM ubuntu uses in comparison to say.. vista? [13:44] kde is kewl desktop... [13:45] kLoNeD: it would connect to the router.. and the router would forward traffic based on the port's to whatever machine they are set to be forwareded to. [13:45] nic1, kde is kool but it is system resource intensive at this stage [13:45] kLoNeD-> usually the router in front is your your gateway and same address for web configurable settings, so to find out your gateway, type netstat -n in a terminal [13:45] coz_, right now i am running i3, i wil definitely try out xmonad, if you can guide me a bit [13:45] obiwan_: so having luck with b43? [13:45] kLoNeD-> rather netstat -ran [13:45] coz_, oh..ok. i wasn't aware that it's sys resource intensive [13:45] nic1, I am not the one to gude you:)... amphi tried to get me to switch to that instead of compiz but I cant :) [13:46] so i think i can do tiling even with compiz right? [13:46] nic1, there is no issue in trying kde of course... [13:46] n8tuser http://paste.ubuntu.com/292342/ === lippy is now known as Guest36231 [13:46] but i need the light weight wm [13:46] that is my reply [13:46] why is rsync so slow [13:46] baker`-> ubuntu can run in a small ram memory like 256Meg [13:47] does it have to build the file list every time I run it? [13:47] coz_, my application demands a light weight window manager [13:47] it's been going for about 6 hours [13:47] what do i do now? [13:47] nic1, well some tiling can be done maybe with the grid plugin and others but not as well as the tiling window mangers [13:47] kLoNeD-> on your browser type 192.168.1.1 and configure your router accordingly [13:48] nic1: gnome is not that resource hungry [13:48] nic1, however for xmonad just join the #xmonad channel for help... I dont see amphi there right now but he may show up [13:48] C-S-B, heeh i was waiting for you to answer but i didn't put your name so i guess you lost it hehe . Anyway my question is, does the firmware have anything to do with the driver? i can't find the b43 driver, but i have the wl one, can i extract the firmware for it to use it with b43 or that won't work? [13:49] n8tuser i believe i have done so http://paste.ubuntu.com/292343/ [13:49] this is all the forwarded ports i have made to my machine http://paste.ubuntu.com/292343/ [13:49] b43 is probably already on your system [13:49] obiwan_: ^ [13:50] kLoNeD-> what the heck is that? please configure your router correctly, whats the brand and model of the soho router? [13:50] obiwan_: you just need the firmware files to make it work [13:50] obiwan_: sudo apt-get fwcutter [13:50] its not configured properly [13:50] ill just find out [13:50] Anyone that can tell me how to navigate to sertain application's ? were it is in the filesystem i mean. [13:50] kLoNeD: i dont see the PORT that cpanel uses mentioned in your 'list of things forwarded to 192.168.1.3' [13:50] yeah it is cause modprobe b43 works and it gets shown in lsmod, but 43-fwcutter --list is supposed to get me a list of available modules, and b43 is not in that list, it's just wl things [13:50] C-S-B, [13:51] obiwan_: sudo apt-get b43-fwcutter [13:51] it's already installed hehe [13:51] obiwan_: you need to rmmod wl [13:51] Cpanel uses port 2083 with https and port 2082 with http. ( from the docs i just read) [13:51] netgear router wgr614v9 [13:51] veggteppe: why? [13:52] veggteppe: what are you actually trying to do? === watcherg is now known as watcher|away [13:52] what else do i have to configure in my router? [13:52] !away > watcher|away [13:52] watcher|away, please see my private message [13:52] kLoNeD-> look for DMZ [13:52] !who | kLoNeD [13:52] kLoNeD: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [13:52] tonyyarusso: Just gonna add something to startup applications, and for that i need the complete line to were the applications i want to startup is located:P. wich i am trying to find out xD [13:53] ! work | coz_ [13:53] coz_: 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. [13:53] i got this driver: b43 module: wl_apsta.o, b43 wl_apsta_mimo.o and b43 wl_apsta_mimo.o, each one with a microcode and a ID FW10, FW11, FW11, FW13 C-S-B [13:53] n8tuser DMZ in my router? [13:53] veggteppe: you don't really need the absolute path, you can just use "gedit" to start gedit for example, but most of them reside in /usr/bin [13:53] veggteppe: ah, ok. The easiest way I find is 'dpkg -L packagename | grep bin'. [13:53] kLoNeD-> yep [13:53] mimo is N i think [13:53] jrib - tonyyarusso: THanks:) [13:53] veggteppe: also, what jrib said should be correct [13:53] it's the multiple input multiple output standard [13:53] n8tuser any idea where it would be? [13:54] obiwan_: ok, and you should have a b43 folder in /lib/firmware [13:54] ? [13:55] kLoNeD: i normally download the user manuals (in pdf) and use the search feature to find stuff like that. [13:55] obiwan_: you need to rmmod wl && modprobe b43 [13:55] Tonyarusso: Loved your way tbh, like to get more "into" ubuntu, by learning the commands, so keep em commin xD [13:55] kLoNeD -> you may need to learn how to use google.. but here is one i found http://kbserver.netgear.com/kb_web_files/n101145.asp [13:55] ok i'll try hehe [13:55] i i get disconnected, pray for my soul haha [13:55] n8tuser Dr_Willis i found the DMZ [13:55] Default DMZ Server and then it asks for an ip adress [13:55] address* [13:55] kLoNeD: so you put that box in the DMZ and it will be totally open to the internet.. that can be big time security problems. [13:56] dmz is scary :O [13:56] kLoNeD: so you may want to learn how to use firewalls, and logging, and other stuff... [13:56] make it stop :'( [13:56] kLoNeD: or learn to properly forward the ACTUAL PORTS that cpanel uses instead... [13:56] ok , brb C-S-B , let's hope ;( [13:56] kLoNeD: Cpanel uses port 2083 with https and port 2082 with http. ( from the docs i just read) [13:57] yes, cpanel users 2086 2087 2082 and 2083 Dr_Willis [13:57] ill do that once i have this configured [13:57] kLoNeD: my router lets me forward a range to other machines.. that makes it easier. [13:57] hi [13:57] Is it a fair assumption that all fonts in my default ubuntu install are re-distributable under a FSF or OSS licence? [13:58] phoe6: i whoudl think so. [13:58] hii [13:58] rd1381, coz_, my git command worked without errors [13:58] evry one [13:58] phoe6: I would check the source package to be sure. [13:58] the fonts directory does not have LICENSE file. that's why. [13:58] nic1, mm let me try it here [13:58] oh okay. [13:58] yes deepak [13:58] !source > phoe6 [13:58] phoe6, please see my private message [13:59] nic1, still not workin ghere :) [13:59] i think mine was also not working [13:59] jrib: thanks! [13:59] Dr_Willis ill read this guide about it and see what it says [13:59] one thing i can't understand now, is it wise to opt for i3? [13:59] kLoNeD: reading docs is good. :) [13:59] i just need one highly customizable, less sys resource hungry tiling wm [14:00] kLoNeD: at least now you are heading the right direction. [14:00] nic1, yeah I cant help with that one... I have to stick to compiz :) [14:00] Dr_Willis thank you [14:00] but compiz is a system resource intensiv right? [14:00] nic1, no not really [14:01] nic1, it is fairly gentle on the system and I have a mid range older system right now === gRifter_ is now known as DavidGR [14:03] rvsjoen: how can I add users in pgadmin so that tI can login to the spesific database? [14:04] what can I use to do packet prioritization on ubuntu? I've tried searching and can't find anything [14:04] right, i read that guide you gave me, but nothing there does it say about DMZ [14:05] johntron, here is one link http://www.instructables.com/id/E3AW18NRPEEPLK0FZH/ [14:05] lol, i wrote that [14:05] how to rename the string "umc" with "umc-school" in all files which start with umc? after that the files should look like umc-school-rest-of-the-name.png [14:05] kLoNeD: it wouldbe best to fprwared only the ports you need forwarded [14:05] i dunno of an alternative for altq though [14:05] johntron, lol oh sorry [14:06] hey its kloned i got d/c [14:06] kLoNeD: it wouldbe best to fprwared only the ports you need forwarded === Guest084 is now known as kLoNeD1 [14:06] ok thank you [14:06] what's the best C++ IDE for gnome? [14:07] Enissay: there is no best anything at all in life [14:07] Enissay: best is an opinion so is never concrete [14:07] !ide | Enissay [14:07] Enissay: Programming editors/suites: Terminal-based: vi/vim, emacs - KDE: Kate, KDevelop, Quanta+, Umbrello - GNOME: gvim, gedit, anjuta, pida, monodevelop, geany - Others: eclipse, netbeans, QtCreator [14:07] yea, i'm asking for people's opinions so i can choose myself :) [14:08] !best | Enissay [14:08] Enissay: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [14:08] ff [14:08] Enissay, anjuta? g++ [14:08] hello I need some advice please [14:08] Wow [14:08] Enissay: eclipse is pretty popular in general, but i've never done c++ with it [14:08] !ask | gravityreloaded: [14:08] gravityreloaded:: 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. :-) [14:08] gravityreloaded, what is the issue? [14:08] I need to restore an XML file to a hard drive [14:09] my windows is dead :p [14:09] I have a 50Gb backup on XML but driveimage won't let me restore because I'm using the drive [14:09] JohnD23, i saw that netbeans is good too, but isnt for java anly? [14:09] *the file is on an external drive of course [14:10] *JohnD23, i saw that netbeans is good too, but isnt it for java only? [14:10] hi, using UNR & laptop keyboard and 9.04 with external keyboard. How can I get the menu key (next to r-ctrl & r-alt) to do as advertised, open context menu (like shift-f10) ? [14:10] Enissay: netbeans is java only, but eclipse can do both [14:11] (assuming you meant that comment for me) [14:11] HALO.. [14:11] I used ImageDrive XML to make hard drive clone but can't find equivalent software for Ubuntu. Any suggestions? [14:11] hi. i installed kde, i didnt like it so i removed it.i have several problems right now. how can i bring my machine to a previous state? [14:11] !xml [14:11] Sorry, I don't know anything about xml [14:11] NantoRokuseiken, removed how [14:12] bazhang: using synaptic [14:12] NantoRokuseiken, which packages [14:12] anyone here understand XML files? [14:12] , coz_ , , thanks guys :) [14:12] hi [14:12] Enissay, no problem [14:12] gravityreloaded, what is it you need to do with that xml file again? [14:13] bazhang: kde, kde-core and few i cant remember [14:13] I need to restore XML, on external drive, to my C: drive. I'm now running Ubuntu from D: drive [14:13] Hi, although my HISTSIZE and HISTFILESIZE are both set to 1000000000 (I modified bashrc). I only have a 500 length history. anyone knows why [14:13] NantoRokuseiken, you wish for pure gnome? [14:13] bazhang: it doesnt load the appled on the upper right of screen and when i press reload it cant reload it === timber_ is now known as timber [14:14] gravityreloaded, does this file just need to be copied to the C drive? [14:14] bazhang: yes as ubuntu comes without any other crap [14:14] rafael, have you checked that they are both defined on the "env" ? [14:14] rafael: you need to restart your shell for the setting to take effect [14:14] !puregnome | NantoRokuseiken [14:14] NantoRokuseiken: If you want to remove all !KDE packages, type « sudo apt-get remove kdelibs4c2 kdelibs5-data && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop » into a !terminal [14:14] bazhang: and gdm running because i get a welcome screen to login although i was autologin before [14:14] joaopinto: I echo them and I get 100000 and I have also restarted.. [14:14] no, I want to restore the contents, it has a full Windows installation on it, should restore drive to the time when I backed up [14:14] guys, i will use awesome wm [14:14] I have a cron script job which is a symlink in /etc/cron.hourly and it is not being run. Any ideas why? [14:15] it's there in synaptic, and i insstalled it too [14:15] but after installing, it hangs [14:15] coz, I re-installed windows but can't restore from file because I'm using C: drive... [14:15] gravityreloaded, so this is a cloned image of your windows installation? [14:15] yes [14:15] echo $HISTSIZE and echo $HISTFILESIZE both gives me the value I wan[ t after I have restarted. Nevertheless, my history still go only up to 500 strings... [14:15] bazhang: kde so crappy. how did kde become like tis [14:15] gravityreloaded, and how did you first create this clone? [14:15] hi there is there a command i can type to check if my ubuntu is 64bit or 32bit cus its bit buggy think i may have got the wrong version when i installed [14:15] I used ImageDrive XML [14:16] gravityreloaded, and doesnt that application have options for restoring to the drive? [14:16] I have added the export lines to .bashrc in my home fodler [14:16] simon_1: uname -a [14:16] rafael: did you exit bash after running more than 500 commands and then check the file? [14:16] how to disable sudo ???? [14:16] coz, yes, but because I'm running Windows from same drive I can't restore to it. I hoped to do that from Ubuntu with equivalent program [14:17] orkyahaalhai, disable it? why? [14:17] !sudo | orkyahaalhai [14:17] orkyahaalhai: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) [14:17] coz, Ubuntu is on drive D: [14:17] Linux ubuntu 2.6.28-15-generic #52-Ubuntu SMP Wed Sep 9 10:49:34 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux [14:17] is that 64 bit [14:17] hi, using UNR & laptop keyboard and 9.04 with external keyboard. How can I get the menu key (next to r-ctrl & r-alt) to do as advertised, open context menu (like shift-f10) ? Is this a bug? [14:17] I'm playing a video, and I see tearing - a line separating different parts of the screen that get updated at different times. How do I fix that? [14:17] rafael: Just an idea, but maybe those variables are checked before they are exported by your .bashrc [14:17] jrib: I just closed my terminal and reopened it. I have 507 commands. I think it resets to 500 when I reset my system [14:17] penthief: I am thinking that also [14:17] rafael: you checked what your HISTFILE was set to? [14:18] gravityreloaded, then I am not sure what to tell you...I am not familiar with that cloneing software [14:18] I really do like Ubuntu but there are some things that can only be done with Windows [14:18] rafael is that 64bit i post the result there a few secs ago [14:18] gravityreloaded: like? [14:18] gravityreloaded, which is not the case for what you are describing, you can easily backup a partition with partimage [14:18] Hi i'm back with bad news C-S-B_ :/ [14:18] coz, that software says it's compatible with other cloning software, i.e., the XML file I created [14:19] hi, an external hard drive i was using till yesterday now its not recognized anymore, it doesnt see it at all, what happened? [14:19] simon1? no [14:19] gravityreloaded, that software maybe compatible with other COMERCIAL software, which doesn't turn into an open standard [14:19] joaopinto I HAVE the backup, I need to restore it [14:19] For some reason, my password isn't being accepted when I try to launch synaptic via gui, but it works fine if I launch it via commandline. Any ideas? [14:19] rafael is it def. 32bit so if thats my kernel version [14:19] simon_1: You should have got x86_64 not i686 for 64 bits [14:20] jrib: echo $HISTSIZE gioves me 100000000 [14:20] ah right [14:20] obiwan_: well? is it on fire? [14:20] gravityreloaded, so just ask the software authors to port their software to linux, please do not attribute the fault to Ubuntu :) [14:20] cheers mate [14:20] jrib, I can't for example do djing decently on Linux system. I use virtual DJ [14:20] I'm playing a video, and I see tearing - a line separating different parts of the screen that get updated at different times. How do I fix that? [14:20] rafael: file, not size === omgmog__ is now known as omgmog [14:21] cant get skype to work on 9.04 thought it might be because it was 64bit but not the case [14:21] simon_1? Yes, your kernel defines your architecture [14:21] how can i check the HDD for bad sectors? [14:21] rafael: also, did you try a smaller number like 1000 to see if it makes a difference? [14:21] simon, skype works fine on 64bits using the 32bits deb [14:21] I get this error when playing some .avi files in Mplayer. An Error Occured. Could not read from source [14:21] hi when ubuntu 9.10 boots up it says before the [0K]s appear. acpi resource error, acpi conflicts with acpi rprg [14:21] something like this [14:21] jrib: also echo $HISTFILESIZE also gives me 10000000000 [14:21] what should i do [14:21] jrib: Gonna try it [14:21] So, Ubuntu is incapable to restore backup from XML file as far as anyone knows,,, ??? [14:21] gravityreloaded: Have you tried Mixxx and DJPlay? [14:21] #ubuntu+1 for karmic AncientSocrates [14:21] rafael: file, not filesize [14:21] not on my fresh instal of 32bit 9.04 [14:21] jrib: How can I check that [14:21] rafael: Just had a look: Try at the top of .profile instead of bashrc [14:22] penthief: Ok, gonna do that [14:22] freezes my entire system [14:22] rafael: the same way you are checking the others, echo $HISTFILE [14:22] mnaines, they don't have anywhere near the features I need and they are very buggy [14:22] gravityreloaded, let me repeat, there is no standard format for disk images using XML, your question is nout about ubuntu, is how to restore XML files geneated by a specific disk cloning app [14:22] exactly [14:22] will try again in 2 weeks i guess with 9.10 maybe skype will work with that for me [14:22] jrib: echo $HISTFILE returns me the path to my file, home/.bash_history [14:23] rafael: k === irfan is now known as Guest23951 [14:23] rafael: you're paraphrasing I hope? That wasn't the actual path it gave? [14:23] gravityreloaded, coudl you elaborate on that ? which bug and which missing feature is blocking use from using partimage ? [14:23] penthief: I have no .profile file in my home fodler. Should I create one? [14:23] Yeah, I have one [14:24] joaopinto can partimage recover an XML file? [14:24] is 9.10 going to be a better long term supported version or whatever you call those versions?? [14:24] !lts [14:24] LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Hardy (Hardy Heron 8.04). The next LTS release is scheduled to be 10.04 [14:24] *from an XML file [14:24] gravityreloaded: why don't you just use the software you used to backup to recover? [14:24] ah right [14:24] rafael: See the INVOCATION section of man bash for more info. I must admit I have not read it myself. [14:24] because I'm logged into Windows which is on the same drive I want to restore to... [14:25] gravityreloaded, no, it does not support non standard images generated by random clone imaging products [14:25] Hey, can someone help... I have a linux box I'm shelled into but it seems that / is not mounted, well when I look at what's mounted I don't see / mounted and when I run df on the partition / is on I gives me tmpfs mounted on /dev [14:25] jrib: Yes, it gave me /home/rc/.bash_history [14:25] rafael: k [14:25] acpi conflicts with acpi smrg during boot [14:25] what should i do? [14:25] gravityreloaded: xml is a file format. it'd be like asking "can ubuntu recover from an html file?" what did you use to write the backup file? [14:25] AncientSocrates, this is not the karmic support channel ; #ubuntu+1 [14:25] jrib: Lets see if a smaller value will solve this. Also gonna try to add the exports to .profile as pent suggested [14:25] gravityreloaded: if you need to restore driveimage xml image you might want to do it from a windows live cd, such as bartPE or hirens boot cd which inculdes drive image xml i believe [14:25] is it possible to back up the terminal history when upgrading [14:25] I suppose the only chance is to install Windows on different hard drive, and restore to my drive C: from there [14:25] jrib: Thanks... [14:25] penthief: thanks [14:26] simon_1: the bash history is saved in .history [14:26] hey i am trying to get source using apt-get source, how serious is the error or warning whatever, can't check public signature [14:26] simon_1: i think.. let me check. :) [14:26] simon_1: or use history > myhistory.txt [14:26] aha its .bash_history [14:26] cheers dr_willis so just copy and replace on new version [14:27] simon_1: the history file is normally not worth worrying about. :) [14:27] nic1: depends on how concerned you are about establishing the authenticity of the software you want to install. [14:27] is it possible to reset keyboard shortcuts in 9.04 ? [14:27] simon_1: since each shell can change it.. it can be in quiet a state of flux [14:27] I hoped it would be more simple, since I am running Ubuntu on my 2nd hard drive, It would be a shame to uninstall that to install windows, the restore, then re-install ubuntu. It a lot of work, as you all can see === inversio1s is now known as inversions [14:27] the must be an easier way [14:27] *there [14:27] handy to have all the commands i use on file [14:28] gravityreloaded: you don't have access to a second windows machine, i imagine === PKnull is now known as Pooky [14:28] sipior, no [14:28] simon_1: that file can get overwritten at any time. [14:28] gravityreloaded: if you're using some proprietary backup system without a linux version, then you can't hope to restore on linux. You should checkout partimage... [14:29] gravityreloaded: you can try running windows in virtualbox, kvm or the like. unraveling the backup will be slow, but manageable. [14:29] im sure a few people like me with bad memories like to keep the history somehow [14:29] in which path do i get the source code, when i do apt-get source? [14:29] simon_1: if you have 2 terminals open and do different commands in each one.. then close each one.. which one save4s the history? :) [14:29] sipior, I could try that, thanks for suggestion [14:29] nic1: the current directory [14:29] rafael: I might do this unlimited history myself... [14:30] simon_1: dont depend on anything in the history 'staying' there [14:30] lol i guess [14:30] might make a txt file of the ones i use lots [14:31] Hey, I want to move my /var directory to a different partition. Do I need to boot in a special mode to do this? [14:31] or can I change my runlevel [14:31] i have PC A and B. A is behind a firewall and can ssh to B. B cant ssh to A because of the firewall. But is it possible to use the ssh-connection from A-B so that B can access A? [14:31] simon_1: in fact as each shell closes it writes to the .bash_history so whatever shell closes last gets 'saved' [14:31] It would be nice if there was a special tab-completion which used the history. [14:32] is the version of ubuntu that installs inside windows exactly the same other than not being on its own actual partition [14:32] shopt -s histappend # append to the history file, don't overwrite it [14:32] hi; how can I get ubuntu to suspend when I close the lid on my notebook ? I use Openbox as a WM, and thus cannot rely on Gnome for doing this [14:32] iceroot: I think it is, by creating a tunnel for port forwarding [14:32] iceroot: sort of. There's what's called a reverse connection, where basically A access B to say "hey, here's a connection you can use if you want it!" and B can say "oh sweet, I think I will" [14:32] madsj: easiest way is to just use gnome-power-manager [14:33] tonyyarusso: s i can type ssh A on PC B? after SSH B from pc A? [14:33] jrib: no other fun way using configuration files ? :-) [14:33] iceroot: I'll try to find the explanation of how - hang on [14:33] madsj: well sure you can emulate whatever gnome-power-manager does, but why would you... I don't know how offhand [14:34] iceroot: have a look at the "-R" switch in the ssh man page [14:35] iceroot: here's one example: http://www.howtoforge.com/reverse-ssh-tunneling [14:36] Is Jaunty GTK 1.0 or GTK 2.0? [14:36] mnaines: gtk 2 [14:36] mnaines: (gtk 1 is very, very old) [14:37] sipior: Thanks [14:38] yo yo yo [14:38] is there a way with apt-get to show the changelog for everything that is going to be upgraded? [14:38] Travis-42: yes; it's in a separate package. [14:38] Travis-42: apt-listchanges [14:39] which will be a good packet generator in ubuntu? [14:39] tonyyarusso: thanks! [14:39] sipior: tonyyarusso thx, i will try that [14:39] mostly for educational purposes and maybe n/w trouble shooting..any recommendations? [14:40] is there a way of leaving a message for a guy that is not online? [14:40] - /msg memoserv help plitter [14:40] plitter: memoserv [14:40] hi geek ubuntu [14:40] rags: try hping [14:40] -/msg memoserv help [14:41] ---> /msg memoserv plitter send yes there is [14:41] hi, how can i set the menu key to open context menus?

[14:47] plitter, certainly [14:47] i dont have any cds left.... [14:47] bazhang: do u know the way? [14:47] there is also unetbootin for flash keys plitter [14:47] How can I add users in pgadmin so that I can login to the spesific database? Do i have to do it from terminal or in GUI pgadmin? [14:47] everytime i install a package there this line that appears in the end "E: Directory '/var/log/apt/' missing". [14:48] bazhang: doesnt that use the whole flash key? [14:48] is there any impact to my system how can i resolve this. Thankss [14:48] cheng: and...is it? [14:48] plitter, it will format the key yes [14:48] @sipior yes sir [14:49] cheng: just recreate the directory with a "sudo mkdir" [14:49] http://www.getonmyhorse.com/ [14:49] notk0, dont spam here [14:49] bazhang: but will the rest of the space be usable? [14:49] it is not spam [14:49] How can I get all the files in a deep directory structure (e.g. folder for each year, month, week, day, hour...) to move to one folder? [14:49] @sipior thanks very much [14:49] bazhang: when i the cd there? [14:49] alazyworkagohil move all the files inside a deep directory to the same folder? [14:50] alazyalcohilic move all the files inside a deep directory to the same folder? [14:50] hi everyone [14:50] hello [14:50] im asking my self something [14:51] I have just install program 'xmacro' from synaptec. How can i run it? [14:51] plitter, not clear as to your meaning; is the cd where [14:51] ok [14:51] jacquesdupontd: you've lost your inner monologue? [14:51] Marukaz open the terminal and type xmacro [14:51] if i copy all directory of my "/" partition on a dvd and one day on the same computer with another hard disk i copy it just after a format from the live cd will it work just like now ? [14:51] sipior :) [14:51] no [14:52] alazyworkaholic: checn the -R optio (or was it -r) to mv [14:52] i know the grub [14:52] notk0 it doesn't work... [14:52] notk0: yes, I want to take all the files in many folders (that get deeper, i.e. more detail at each level) & put them together in one folder. [14:52] but except that [14:52] hi btw sipior [14:52] alazyworkaholic: Untested, but 'find sourcedir -type f -exec mv {} targetdir \;' [14:52] alazyworkagolic it shoud be possible to do it with find and some pipes to mv [14:52] but I would recommend to make a script in python [14:53] sipior, do you have 5 minutes to talk about something ? [14:53] Dr_Willis: man mv doesn't show an r or R option. by the way, thanks for the yes command tip. It worked. [14:53] kfjkd [14:54] acquesdupontd: busy at the moment. what topic would you suggest? [14:54] trying to connect to samba server it logs me in but then it just logs me out and im not left with smb: \> anyone know why [14:55] sipior, making my own distrib of a modified ubuntu for my own computers [14:55] penthief: find ~/Photos/* -type f -exec mv {} ~/Desktop/collected ??? === diego is now known as Guest19797 [14:56] alazyworkaholic: I always stick an 'echo' before the exec before running it properly to make sure I am not doing any thing stupid, but that's just me. [14:56] Hi guys, I need to be able to set the permissions and ownership of a usb printer to be www-data (to allow writing via http) every time it connects. I'm afraid my udev knowledge is lacking [14:56] I thought linux would have an easy way to throw out directories while keeping the files. [14:56] I have just install program 'xmacro' from synaptec. But i can't find it. What shoud i do? [14:57] alazyworkaholic: You are missing the string "\;" (without the quotes) [14:57] hello, im having some issues installing microsoft office thru wine, is it even possible? or am i doing something wrong? [14:57] alazyworkaholic: This is a terminator to the exec flag. [14:57] War, why do you need Microsoft Office? Just use Openoffice.org [14:57] War: Wine support is in #winehq also /msg ubottu appdb [14:58] penthief: I know nil about strings. Do it the hard way then? [14:58] alazyworkaholic: No, never the hard way! [14:58] jacquesdupontd: heh, that's easy: don't bother. you can use aptitude to generate a list of installed packages for easy cloning, and ensure that /etc is backed up so that configuration files are easily recoverable. [14:58] alazyworkaholic: find ~/Photos -type f -exec mv {} ~/Desktop/collected \; [14:59] alazyworkaholic: So, 2 changes [14:59] alazyworkaholic: what he said. [14:59] sipior, understood but could i make an distrib installation software on a dvd that would install everything and maybe ask you options if you want this package or not to be installed like a flash plugin for example. === S is now known as kanus [15:00] exemple [15:00] So I'm trying to use apt-listchanges, but I'm not figuring out how to get apt-get to use it. is there something special I need to do? [15:00] Travis-42: You may need to do sudo dpkg-reconfigure apt-listchanges first [15:01] sipior, so that it could make the mbr at the same time like when you install ubuntu, in fact a sort of personal ubuntu with all i need and possibility to put or not the packages i have choosen for having the choice [15:01] penthief: Thanks, that worked! Learning basic scripting & strings etc. is on my todo list. [15:01] Pici: I've tried that. It doesn't ask anything about apt, should it? [15:02] jacquesdupontd: sure, i'm fairly certain there is information about customised ubuntu installs on the ubuntu community documentation site. [15:02] Travis-42: It should present you with options as to when you want to see the changes and what pager if any you want to use [15:03] is there a central certificate handler for Ubuntu, so I have a central place, to place my digital signature (not GPG)? [15:04] sipior, ok, so it seems to be easy from what you say gonna check that later, thx man. [15:04] üdvözlet [15:05] hi guys [15:05] jacquesdupontd: Look up puppet configuration management. This might be a better solution. [15:05] Command to install adobe flash player?! [15:05] to firefox [15:05] anyone how do you install linux on a PS [15:05] asdf [15:06] Pici: yea I guess it does that. apt-get should just display the changelog when I do "apt-get upgrade" ?

[15:51] deadman: tried that. get a screwdriver and disassemble it, and search for the name printed on the IC rather than searching for the name of the stick. that made some other stick working for me. [15:51] out-cold: i dont have a clue btw ive just rewoken [15:51] Dream-, sure.. linux doesn't care about extension names [15:51] can someone ghost my other nick please?

[15:53] thanks pici [15:53] RAID 1 Question - I have a Supermicro motherboard that has 4 SATA connections; Can I have 2 RAID 1 setups on that? i.e. Can I take 2 100g HDs and set them up in a RAID 1 for my Ubuntu Server OS and then later take 2 1Tb HDs and set them up in a RAID 1 for my mass storage drive and then mount them within the system [15:53] can any 1 suggest me how to WRITE on HFS formatted disk in ubuntu? [15:54] PerryArmstrong, the command is something like this but change to suit your needs mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /media/windisk -o force [15:54] jph_: if the raid controller allows you to have more than 1 volume (most do), then yes. [15:54] damaltor, i think its the em28xx [15:54] deadman: These people seem to have gotten video to work http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1006699 [15:54] damaltor, but where can i get drivers for it? [15:54] jph_: however, you need to make sure that your raid card is supported. [15:54] deadman: seems a step in the right direction [15:54] would that be a hardware or software RAID [15:54] deadman: then google for that. usually, the chips are built into more then one device so the chance to get a driver is bigger then just searching for that special pinnacle device [15:55] jph_: most on-motherboard raid controllers are pseudo-software raid. pure hardware raid is expensive. [15:55] Paddy_NI, thanks for the link... will dig into it [15:55] Out_Cold; my usb is auto mounting....the only problem is i am unable to delete files as I have only read permissions [15:55] those SATA ports are on on-board if that matters... how do i go about seeing if it is supported [15:55] damaltor, oh... ok... [15:55] I am trying to install a program on Ubuntu 64 bit and am getting an error when trying to run the program: error while loading shared libraries: libQtWebKit.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [15:56] jph_: well, do you know the model of your motherboard?

[15:58] Ok I think it is the SuperMicro 'Super X5DAL-TG2' [15:59] deadman: *fit the IC.. [15:59] genii : so QT is a kde specific [15:59] how to ring sound on Dell Inspiron 1440 running Ubuntu 9.04?

[16:00] Emery: when it comes to linux and ubuntu (gnome) it is [16:00] kde uses QT and gnome uses gtk, but you can have both on both systems [16:00] Emery: I just opted for the short answer :) [16:00] QT can be used on any desktop [16:00] Emery: did anyone say anything to the contrary? [16:00] how to bring sound on Dell Inspiron 1440 running Ubuntu 9.04? [16:00] genii : on a side note, everybody tells me that I should use aptitude to intall not apt-get. This true?

[16:01] Emery: be careful [16:01] damaltor, i read somewhere that my device works with video4linux [16:01] so where and how can i install video4linux? [16:01] oh lol..

[16:04] grawity, can you see what's wrong with PerryArmstrong's post? [16:04] and it doesnt mention about my device i think... [16:04] i am trying to write a simple bash command, that will execute two terminal commands. how do i make it open anohter nistance of the terminal? [16:04] hello, does anyone know how i could correct an error on my ubuntu abt themes, sounds or background settings? [16:05] damaltor: actually its not my laptop its my frnds, he has no internet so i am searching for the answer. [16:05] the_hoser: you there? [16:05] resno: Depends on the terminal you are using. I guess you're using GNOME Terminal, so just run "gnome-terminal" [16:05] deadman: ok. unplug the device, wait 10 secs, plug it back in. then compare, what is "new" and what is "old" output. maybe it tells you why it doesnt work. [16:05] how do i manage startup services and programes in ubuntu? [16:05] suman go to system preferences startup applications [16:06] system administration services on the menu [16:06] If ubuntu is gnome, kubuntu is KDE ... what is the core that you can install with the minimal cd ? [16:06] damaltor, ok.. [16:06] Out_Cold: Based on the media name ("KINGSTON") and the paths ("S-1-blah-blah"), I guess the filesystem is either FAT32 or NTFS, neither of which support Unix file owner or permissions. [16:06] Emery, ubuntu server [16:06] It's not a server [16:06] At all [16:06] grawity, but it's still read only [16:06] It's a core. [16:06] grawity: how do i make it run that command in the new open terminal? [16:06] resno: Same as any other command. [16:07] blue-pearl: ok. step one: run alsamixer. some soundcards are only muted. alsamixer is easy, but be sure to read some manual before using it. if that is not working, try lspci in console, find the sound card entry, and then google for drivers. i dont own that notebook so i cannot help you directly. [16:07] the_hoser: you there? [16:07] Out_Cold: Can he create files using 'touch' or $EDITOR? [16:07] system404: well, i am using kubuntu.. and it doesnot have that?? [16:07] Emery, you can load ubuntu server without any server components, which would be just a core.. [16:07] jph_: yeah. did you find the model? [16:07] grawity: it opens but doesnt run the command there, it contiunes to wait for the current terimal process to end. [16:07] system404: any way to do it usin comand line? [16:07] grawity: instead of using the instance i created [16:07] Emery: The minimal CD does not have a desktop environment like the Kubuntu or Ubuntu installers. [16:08] PerryArmstrong, try touch test.file [16:08] it will have something similar then ive never used the kde enviro allways gnome all the wayt [16:08] the_hoser: It is the 'Super X5DAL-TG2' [16:08] Out_Cold, grawity; do i have to do that in my usb directory [16:08] PerryArmstrong, sorry try touch /media/KINGSTON/test.file [16:09] By SuperMicro [16:09] i need to go make a pot of coffee [16:09] stupid snow outside.. [16:09] Out_Cold, grawity; says cannot touch as its Read-only file system [16:09] damaltor: thanx...will try it. [16:09] PerryArmstrong: What is the output of 'grep KINGSTON /etc/mtab' ? [16:09] blue-pearl: no problem [16:10] deadman: did you find something useful? i have to go in a few minutes [16:10] jph_: mmkay. you have linux supported fakeraid. I'd honestly go with software raid. It's less buggy. Unless you have a *real* raid controller, software raid is almost always better. [16:10] grawity; http://paste.ubuntu.com/292431/ [16:10] hey guys I'm looking to install a software on a live USB. Any ideas how to do it ? [16:10] PerryArmstrong: Oh, one more thing. Your previous paste lists a few files - and all of them I recognize as instances of a Windows virus which spreads by USB drives. So while it is _not_ related to your problem, I still wanted to point that out. [16:11] PerryArmstrong: Hm. Does the drive have a physical readonly switch? Some do. [16:11] thank goodness we run linux :p [16:11] grawity; ya i know that those are virus...but then i can't delete them unless i can have the permissions [16:12] the_hoser: Ok so i should go with a software RAID and there shouldn't be a problem having 2 separate RAIDs [16:12] hi. which is the best way to install ATI driver for ubuntu 9.04 ? I followed these instructions and they were a disaster: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI . any suggestion? thanks [16:12] jph_: correct [16:12] grawity; no such kind of switch [16:12] PerryArmstrong, do you need any of the other files on there? [16:12] PerryArmstrong: Are there any other files, besides the viruses? [16:12] great, thank you so much for your time [16:12] PerryArmstrong: You could try recreating the filesystem. [16:12] Out_Cold; nope [16:12] i'd fdisk the thing... or gparted [16:12] grawity; so how do I... [16:12] PerryArmstrong: As in, umount /media/KINGSTON; mkfs.vfat /dev/sdb1 [16:13] jph_: np [16:13] well, Out-Cold, it works ^^ thank you, i've just got to fix the Dofus bit :) [16:13] ive written this bash script to excute these two commands into seperate terminals instances but it only runs on the one i called the script from. http://paste.ubuntu.com/292435/ [16:13] thank the rest of the guys in here too... they helped just as much ;) [16:14] * Dream-Ubu fetches the megaphone [16:14] *sound of feed back* thank you and pici, you scare me :) [16:15] grawity; http://paste.ubuntu.com/292437/ [16:15] PerryArmstrong: um [16:16] grawity; seems fishy [16:16] PerryArmstrong: Try cd /; !!; [16:16] wow...over 2million pastes on the paste bin? almost 3! [16:16] PerryArmstrong: You're cd'd to /media/KINGSTON, so it cannot umount it. [16:16] Dream-Ubu: Actually, almost 300 thousand. [16:17] grawity; hehe done [16:17] grawity: shhh im magic, its 3million to my right eye and 300k to my left....the cusor didnt help me at all [16:19] and most people use their own paste bins in here... if we had a monopoly on the bins it'd be much higher [16:20] hi does anyone have any idea how to get pinnacle USB PCTV Analogue working in ubuntu 9.04...? any guides tips? where to start digging? please help... me out...

[16:41] aimtrainer: aimtrainer i imagine the -core one is used by both the -qt and -gtk variants [16:41] How can I disable this, I just don't want to deinstall the DEB [16:41] thanks [16:41] aimtrainer: i imagine the -core is a 'support/ran in the background' part of the app [16:41] m0se5: Hm, try OPTS_SSH='--rsh="ssh -ax -p 222"' [16:42] And I want no more error messages [16:42] !tell me about beta [16:42] iamleneko, please see my private message [16:42] irc.dal.net [16:42] !tell me about karmic irc [16:42] Sorry, I don't know anything about karmic irc [16:43] !tell me about karmic channel [16:43] Sorry, I don't know anything about karmic channel [16:43] !karmic | iamleneko [16:43] iamleneko: 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 [16:43] iamleneko: ubottu works like that.

[16:43] thanks guys [16:44] grawity; hey it worked...but i didnt understand what happened [16:44] docmax: So its permissions are set to disallow write access (0400) [16:44] is there a way to get gpu aided video acceleration on ubuntu? [16:44] oh is some of you impatient people had upgrade to the beta ? [16:44] PerryArmstrong: Either a corrupted filesystem, or ... how did you mount it the first time, anyway?

GNOME's Nautilus? Xfce's thing? Something else? [16:45] grawity, ok thanks [16:45] hi - when I "adduser" a user they don't get sudo rights and can't shutdown the system - how do I give them that (properly) from the cli?

[16:45] restarting linux [16:45] lbt: sudo adduser USERNAME admin [16:46] lbt: Remember that after you modify an user's group, the user must logout and log in again, for the group changes to apply. [16:46] lbt: you could set up sudoers file to allow it. or as a 'quick and dirty way' if you want them to use the 'shutdown' command. you could 'suid' the shutdoen binary. but then ANYONE could run it and shutdown the system [16:46] Error!

[16:46] lbt: Some consider usermod to be the 'right' way (see m0se5's message) [16:46] thanks - this is to setup many users on a lan [16:46] for example reconnecting to wlan [16:46] lbt: depends on how much access you want to allow them. :) youve gottn like 5 suggestions so far. heh [16:46] m0se5: I'll just PM you a snippet for /etc/ssh/config. [16:47] The error doesn really matter, I just want dpkg not to notice it any more, since the application works fine [16:47] and write some docs.... will man usermod [16:47] yeah - suid isn't it [16:47] I want to emulate a normal install [16:47] but I preseed the install [16:47] and adduser later [16:47] How can I start each drive in a mdadm raid individually? One is clicking, but mdadm --detail says each drive is fine. The drives are under the 14day return policy, I just need to figure out which it is, so I can exchange it. [16:47] quick question [16:48] is there a way to write a sed command to replace something with a result of running a unix command? [16:48] I want to do: cat file | sed s/DATE_TOKEN/`date` [16:48] savage-: proberly is. [16:48] or something like that [16:48] bobbob1016: smarctl -tlong [16:48] savage-: sure, pipe the output to a shell [16:48] but I want to replace itw ith the result of running the unix `date` command [16:48] also badblocks [16:48] grawity, Thanks a bunch! way to think outside the box! [16:48] savage- use $(date) instead of backticks.. it makes it easier to read. :) for starteress [16:48] crap [16:48] oh [16:48] savage-: _Almost_ like you wrote [16:48] Anyone know how i format a drive, when im on a pure "command based" computer?. having a HDD issue, so can't boot up anything, so had to start in compability mode. [16:48] can you copy/paste that again [16:48] bobbob1016: sorry [16:48] I just did a /clear by accident [16:48] thnx [16:48] savage-: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [16:48] savage-: sed "s/DATE_TOKEN/$(date)/" file [16:48] bobbob1016: "one is clicking" [16:49] thanks!!! [16:49] hi everybody [16:49] grawity; so according to the steps...i had to unmount it...create a new file system and then mount it again...but whats really running behind the scenes [16:49] bobbob1016: so use smartctl -a on each drive [16:49] Sorry, here the error: http://paste.ubuntu.com/292451/ [16:49] bobbob1016: and that will probably tell you [16:49] savage-: `date` works too, but $(date) is better. [16:49] thanks!!! === diablo is now known as [diablo] [16:49] lbt, What's the difference between -a and -tlong (I guess -tlong is long test)? [16:49] PerryArmstrong: Try this now. umount it again, unplug, plug back in, wait for it to automount, see if it's readonly or not. [16:49] But as I said, the error doesn't matter, I just want dpkg not to notice it. [16:50] how do i issue a command from bash to a new terimanl instance? [16:50] bobbob1016: correct. -a is "all info" [16:50] where can I get printer drivers for the canon pixma IP6600D? [16:50] resno: just type the name of your favorite terminal emulator, such as "xterm" or "gnome-terminal" (if that's what it's called, don't remember). might want to add & at the end to put it into the background [16:51] intok: err.. i go tone of those... they are built in to the defaults... [16:51] intok: Google the OpenPrinting database...Gutenprint drivers should be available for that printer [16:51] intok: i just plug it in.. and it works... [16:51] intok: what version of ubuntu you using? [16:52] grawity; i am able to write files into it [16:52] PerryArmstrong: If it keeps working fine, then it was a corrupted filesystem. (FAT filesystems, including FAT32, are very unreliable. However, they're often used for speed and because they're easy to implement, as long as you don't annoy Micros~1 lawyers) [16:52] Dr_Willis: I have the Canon Pixma iP4500, but when I try to print photos, they're very grainy...No matter how many times I change the drivers, its still grainy [16:52] Dr_Willis no it doesn't it only finds the driver for the IP6000D, and using that gets bad colors and no black channel [16:52] Dr_Willis9.10 beta right now, but those are the results I got under 9.04 [16:53] intok: odd.. it it prints the test pages fine here. im on 9.10 [16:53] grawity; how can i prevent it from getting corrupted [16:53] intok: let me check it again.. === youseeno1hing is now known as youseenothing [16:53] does anyone have a 9800gtx graphics card and use the hdmi adapter? it works but i can't get dts or dolby digital sound to work.. stereo is fine [16:53] PerryArmstrong: a) umount before unplugging, or b) use NTFS _and_ umount before unplugging. [16:53] lbt, Here's my smartctl -a output, the other drives said no errors, this one said "Passed" though http://pastebin.com/m386052a9 [16:54] ip6600D is what i got behind me. [16:54] grawity; thxx...hey will catch up with you again [16:54] Nobody can help me?? [16:54] hi everyone.. I'm using karmic now.. and the pcspeacker buzz is starting to drive me crazy ... anyone knows about it? [16:54] grawity: Is it a good thing to keep the drives unmounted when they're not in use? [16:54] str, ask in ubuntu+1 [16:54] #ubuntu+1 [16:54] Olimpico: check the apt-get/apt/package manuals may be the best thing to do. [16:55] bobbob1016, thank you [16:55] mnaines1: tbh, I don't see any point in doing that. [16:55] grawity: Security is one good reason [16:55] mnaines1: Details? [16:56] i'm curious myself... [16:56] Dr_Willis thats the only thing mine prints right, everything else ails to print properly [16:56] intok: printing a web page now... [16:56] grawity: For example, good security is plug-and-play hard drives that are secured physically when they're not in use [16:56] LjL: it wont issue the comands from the bash command to the popped up termianl window [16:56] intok: i rarely use the thing. :) [16:56] how can i rename a file of files? remove file1_81_XXX.avi file2_81_XXX.avi file3_81_XXX.avi ..... where XXX is the part to remove [16:56] i mean rename many files [16:57] mnaines1 last I checked open printing they said to use a canon made japanesse driver but ythe link to the driver lead to a 404... [16:57] Enissay_: Try the 'rename' command. [16:57] intok: the thing is all goofed up. file a bug i guess... colors are 'inverted/negative' and i get NO black text at all. [16:58] intok: theres a lot of settingss to goof with also i saw.. but i dont have the time to play with them., [16:58] intok: trying the differnt 'color models' settings.. grying greyscale right now [16:59] how can i hack my neightboughrs wlan? he's so annoying! [16:59] ave a question please i installed wine in order to install autocad on ubuntu [16:59] but its not working [16:59] Dr_Willis same thing I get [16:59] hello guys [16:59] pikustan: go away. [16:59] can anyone help me please [16:59] i am new to linux [16:59] what is the root password for live session? [16:59] sipion: -.-' [17:00] ask! | jana_ [17:00] ioka .. there isn't one [17:00] !ask | jana_ [17:00] jana_: 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. :-) [17:00] ioka: I don't think there's any. Log in as "ubuntu", use "sudo -s" to get root access. [17:00] I try sudo ifconfig wlan0 up and i get no such file or directory [17:00] wtf? [17:00] ok thank you [17:00] intok: i really really HATE that canon printer.. i plan on NEVER buying another canon. this thing likes to think i got the ink carts in teh wrong slots.. whenthey are not. :( [17:00] jana_ : have you checked the wine app database on whether autocad runs well enough ? === buddha is now known as seymour [17:00] i installed wine [17:01] but i dt know how to check if it runs well enough [17:01] jana_: my condolences [17:01] jana_: http://appdb.winehq.org/ [17:01] gotunandan: what should i do with that link ? [17:02] yes I am root with sudo -s. however same error [17:02] hi. i just noticed that several folders in my home are automatically being synced to ubuntu one, without me having set this up myself. i'm not comfortable with this at all. how do i disable it? [17:02] so I can not start wlan0 in live session [17:02] Dr_Willis yah, I got it so I could get decent prints direct from the camera [17:03] jana: visit the link and on the left hand side menu goto browse apps and see if autocad is listed on it and works well enough ? [17:03] I am getting "your session lasted for less than 10 seconds......" error and then it goes back to Gnome login screen .... for the last 4 months.... no solution [17:03] gotunandan:ok thank u i will try now [17:03] or from ifup wlan0 I get Ignoring unknown interface wlan0=wlan0 [17:04] ioka: is there even a driver loaded for your card? === Demp_f is now known as Demp [17:04] grawity, WORKS! =) [17:04] i am stunned! someone named a chatroom after my nuck???cheers fellow Linux users. [17:04] I'm trying to start hardware drivers, nothing happens.I see wlan0 with ifconfig -a command [17:04] question: can i remove ALL password questions in gnome? (especially wlan auto-reconnection) [17:04] ioka: run $ sudo lshw -C network , and check your network devices listed [17:05] Hey there, i am having little problem with my graphic card on 9.04, it worked fine till i installed fglrx-amdcccle (ati catalyst CC). After installation my system doesnt show me desktop anymore ... Just some white lines on black. Can it be repaired somehow from live distro? i can access disk! tnx [17:05] ioka: and what does iwconfig say? [17:05] intok: i found its cheaper to go to walmart or cvs and use their stuff :) wife just had to have THIS printer.. and ive hated it since she boght it. === HandheldPenguin` is now known as HandheldPenguin [17:06] intok: greyscale color mode = prints totally blank pages. [17:06] hi all. is there a gfs2 irc chat room? [17:06] iwconfig shows my card. lshw -C network shows disabled [17:06] what packages do I need to install before I can recompile an X video driver? [17:07] talntid: /q alis list *gfs* [17:07] gotunandan: Installing dotnet30 with winetricks will at least allow the setup to run, but net 3.5 is required for Autocad to install. [17:07] question: can i remove ALL password questions in gnome? (especially wlan auto-reconnection) [17:07] specifically: xserver-xorg-video-intel [17:07] docmax: paswordless keyring [17:08] docmax: the wan one is being used by the wallet - see applications -> acessories -> passwords set the default wallet password to be blank. and it wont ask that one.. as for the others.. no idea [17:08] jana_: then you might have a problem, i'm afraid unless you want to try installing .net 3.5 ;) [17:08] MrElendig, i dont want an empty password, just no asking for a special user [17:08] gotunandan: What does not work:Installation of NET 3.5 SP1 (Required for Autocad to install [17:08] docmax: the wallet/key ring tool can accept an empty password. it will rember the other passwords.. it just wont ask for a initial unlock password at login [17:09] gotunandan: that means i cannot install it right? [17:09] docmax: hmm, set the keyring to remember you the, so that it only asks once per session? [17:09] maybe the live usb is been badly created. [17:09] ssthesthens [17:09] jana_: unfortunately yes :( [17:09] Bonjour! [17:09] gotunandan: thank u =) [17:10] MrElendig, where do i do this? i just want an wlan auto-connection when booting into gnome [17:10] jana_: the problem here lies with the fact that Autocad does not support GNU/Linux [17:10] if I try locate wlan0 should it find that file? [17:10] hey can anyone point me to a troubleshooting guide that might help me figure out why network manager doesn't want to manage my wifi card? [17:10] jana_: hope you you keep using ubuntu though for other stuff/work [17:10] cause sometimes i have to reboot the pc remote [17:10] it does not find anything [17:10] and gnome has to connect automaticly, with no user input [17:10] vista like sidebar in ubuntu possible or not ? [17:10] docmax, if you can live without network manager, you can simply set up your wlan key information in /etc/network/interfaces [17:10] gotunandan: u think i might find a solution for autocad or helpless case? [17:11] did you check wireless in gui network manager? [17:11] KristianRose: remove any line indicating wlan0 in /etc/network/interfaces [17:11] ioka: "wlan0" is a name attached by the kernel, there's no corresponding filesystem entry. (this isn't Plan 9) [17:11] if you do not check it it wont manage your card [17:11] I am running ubuntu 9.04 on one HDD and vista on another how do i move the bootloader from my vista HDD to the ubuntu one? [17:11] pshr_: theres dozens of wayss to get 'widgits' on the desktop. You could use the google gadgets stuff if you wanted [17:11] jana_: might be a lost cause as far as i can tell :( === dream_ is now known as Dream-Ubu [17:12] Dr_Willis, i had a poor experience with google gadgets behind the proxy :) [17:12] ok but here's the weird thing. 12 hours ago, it was working. [17:12] pshr_: i find all the desktop widgits useless.... [17:12] so the b43 driver is loaded I just can not use ifconfig wlan0 up [17:12] pshr_: opera also has some. [17:12] gotunandan: well at least i tried thank u have a good day [17:12] DAMN [17:12] thanks Dr_Willis [17:12] wow seems i'm not the only one with broadcom issues [17:13] I tried to install lm-sensors by follow the the page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SensorInstallHowto, however when sudo /etc/init.d/module-init-tools I get "Usage: /etc/init.d/module-init-tools COMMAND", it seems that nothing is inserted into the kernel, any idea? [17:13] I try the beta version again on the usb to see if it will be the same thing [17:13] KristianRose: i've had similar problems with network-manager as well, also you could check /etc/NetworkManager/nm-settings.conf and set managed=true [17:13] hi [17:14] gotunandan: thanks i'll take a look at that [17:14] KristianRose: If network-manager can detect your wireless device and is just not able to manage it, then it means that the driver is present, just that network-manager is refusing to configure it automatically [17:14] yes there is a managed=false.I'll change it to see if it will make any difference [17:15] jana_: good day to you too ! [17:15] yoga: /etc/init.d/module-init-tools start [17:15] Hi guys I need a big time help.... stuck really bad I inserted my USB flash in my laptop and how do I detect it and format it ? [17:16] no same thing no file or directory [17:16] there should be a usb install or something [17:16] it's weird, because network manager was working with my wifi card without issue before not even 5 hours ago. only thing that changed between now and then was i shut down my laptop and booted into vista. [17:17] anyone :( ? [17:17] iDangerMouse [17:17] hi there channel :) [17:17] iDangerMouse: you can use 'sudo fdisk -l' or 'dmesg' to see what devioce the thing is.. then use sudo mkfs.XXXX /dev/devicename to format it.. or use gparted for a gui way to find/format it [17:17] Yes uberspaced ? [17:17] what I do is open up a terminal with "ls /dev |grep sd" [17:17] KristianRose: yes that is a weird problem, rebooting did cause the same problem on my laptop as well [17:17] and plug the device in [17:17] iDangerMouse: If it was the last thing you plugged into the USB... dmesg|tail should tell you the drive designation (like sdb sdc or so). Then you can partition it with fdisk or gparted and then format it with mkfs.ext3 (or ext4 or whatever) [17:18] a new one should pop up if it's recognized. [17:18] Drm:i915_getparam error [17:18] that showed up [17:19] iDangerMouse: should be more than that in dmesg after you plugged it in [17:19] iDangerMouse, open up a terminal. [17:19] Opened it [17:19] run: watch "ls /dev |grep sd" [17:19] KristianRose: I think setting managed=true in nm-settings.conf should fix it and as I said earlier remove and mention of wlan0 (or wlan1 , if that is the name of your wireless device) in /etc/network/interfaces [17:19] plug in your usb stick, or remove it and then plug it in [17:19] and it should show up. [17:20] I'll format the usb and try it again.It does not star the install program from the desktop. [17:20] KristianRose: sorry the file is /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf [17:20] uberspaced: nop [17:20] It hangs on windows so i thought i ll format it via Ubuntu [17:20] gotunandan: so that's [ifupdown] managed =true ? [17:20] mmm... could anyone suggest me an application to create a DVD slideshow with photos [17:21] iDangerMouse: you can use gparted. or 'sudo mkfs.vfat /dev/DEVICENAME' for fat32 formating. [17:21] Hey, one question: i am having some troubles with graphics on 9.04, it worked good till i installed fglrx-amdcccle (ati catalyst CC) - to setup brightness... After installation my system didnt show me desktop - Just some lines on black. Can i uninstall or undo this? i CAN access disk! plz for answers! [17:22] iDangerMouse, if the device doesn't show up [17:22] it may be hosed. [17:22] do any /dev/sd devices show up when you run: watch "ls /dev |grep sd" [17:22] ? [17:22] KristianRose: yes and restart after commenting out stuff like auto wlan0 and/or iface wlan0 inet static in /etc/network/interfaces [17:22] iDangerMouse: ive seen flash drives with that U3 stuff - really confuse linux also. [17:23] When I fullscreen anything it mirrors it onto my other monitor even though I have both set up to display seperately not mirrored. The other monitor appears scrambled and mixed up a little though. Any ideas what could cause this garbling of the second, albeit unexpected, image? Here is my xorg.conf: http://pastebin.com/m5093c218 [17:23] hello all...if anyone could kindly assist: dhclient command no longer connects me to internet, ever since i did a partial upgrade of jaunty...

[17:25] iDangerMouse: run dmesg again.. the buttom messages will change as the device is seen/configured [17:25] /dev/sdc ?

[18:10] docmax: any particular reason? you could try not looking at it and pretending it is in order :P [18:11] will upgrading to the beta fix my network? i didn't break it must have been an update, or a glitch [18:11] Dr_Willis, i just deleted sda2 and resized sda3 [18:11] now i want a correct order [18:12] Dr_Willis: What you suggest ? [18:12] KristianRose: if you mean the network-manager issue, no I doubt it has anything to do with windows at all, just a funny quirk of the network-manager since intrepid [18:12] :Q [18:12] KristianRose: there is another app you could use for network management called wicd [18:12] !info wicd [18:12] wicd (source: wicd): wired and wireless network manager. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.5.9-2 (jaunty), package size 247 kB, installed size 1860 kB [18:13] what is the root password for live session, guys I can not activate b43 driver without it [18:13] there is no root password [18:13] use sudo [18:13] docmax: then you got no sda2 :) it dosent really matter.. [18:13] ioka, you can sudo -i [18:14] trying to watch a tv episode - and it's flashing oddly (black flashes in totem, white in mplayer) any ideas how i could fix this? or is it possible it's just part of the episode [18:14] ioka: there isnt any root password, just you sudo it should work ? [18:14] Dr_Willis, i have some hardlinks to sda2 =( [18:14] comments on the torrent said it was good quality, no mention of flashing [18:14] iDangerMouse: thers so many tweaks/ssites with tips on using the AAO's [18:14] http://aspireonezg5.wordpress.com/2009/07/16/howto/ [18:14] is the best but mic dosent work :( [18:14] I got a program that is in the tray, but i want it to start in the tray when i log in. i tried to do it but its just "popup" but i want it to stay in the tray.. what should i do? [18:14] it still wants root password to activate b43 in gui [18:14] gotunandan: i'm just wondering because i was looking at getting a dell mini 10v with ubuntu for my friend, so i'm just wondering if it's something that i'd have to expect to fix from time to time. [18:14] docmax: Err.. a hardlink cant go across filesystems... a softlink can point to a different location.. clarify what you mean.. [18:15] mordof: possibly turn compiz off then try again [18:15] * Dr_Willis thinks that hard links CANT go across filesystems... [18:15] bastid_raZor: had just thought of that. just gonna turn the video playback off and see what happens [18:15] hey anyone here know how to identify the process thats burning through my HDD? [18:15] Dr_Willis, for ex. /etc/fstab ... there are /dev/sda2 entries [18:15] ioka, load the app with gksu [18:15] KristianRose: ideally no, you really should not have to deal with this, acc to the bug report though, the managed=true bit seems to set it right in most cases [18:16] is there a way to activate in in terminal because with sudo -s or sudo -i I can become root [18:16] docmax edit fstab then.. remove the lines accessing sda2.. since you no longer have a sda2 [18:16] Dr_Willis, also i want to have everything in order.... sda1 2 3 4 .... [18:16] ioka: 'passwd root' [18:16] bastid_raZor: that didn't work -.- is it still possible that turning off compiz completely would solve it? [18:16] Dr_Willis, isnt it possible to "rename" sda3 to sda2? [18:16] docmax: order dosent matter.. its not goint to make it faster.. if you want them in order.. backup/restore all data I guess.. [18:16] docmax: hard links cannot go across partitions, pretty sure of that [18:16] gotunandan: ok. have to wonder if the dell tech support knows about that fix lol. [18:16] hav i to reinstall ubuntu? [18:16] docmax: No its not possile to 'rename' them [18:16] could someone help me turn off emulation of 3rd button under ubuntu? [18:16] docmax: its not worth worrying about [18:17] mordof: it is possible. not every video driver plays well with compiz. [18:17] bastid_raZor: how do i turn off/on compiz temporarily? [18:17] yes there is no password , just enter it works [18:17] docmax: if you made sda3 a extended partition.. your first logical wouldbe sda5 so gaps dont matter. [18:17] so who is "naming" the devices? [18:17] i hate gaps!! =( [18:17] mordof: system>preference>apperance> visual tab .. select none [18:18] ok anyway... thank you a lot! [18:18] docmax: its how the partitions are laid out.. you can have 4 parimaries.. 1-4. 1 extended.. containing logicals.. those start at '5' [18:18] same shit ifconfig wlan0 up - no such file or directory [18:18] docmax: get over it. :) [18:18] KristianRose: unlikely unless they really know about ubuntu [18:18] good day everyone ,how to run this code ?http://www.thinkwiki.org/index.php?title=Code/tp-theft&action=edit [18:18] hi. [18:18] could someone help with mouse setting [18:18] ioka: please check if wlan0 is the name of your wireless device, it might be wlan1 or eth1 ? [18:18] docmax: the default ubuntu layout would be 'sda1' 'sda2(extended) (sda5 logical in sda2)' [18:19] bastid_raZor: solved it, ty [18:19] ioka: run $ ifconfig -a [18:19] gotunandan: i would hope so, since they're shipping their laptops with ubuntu preinstalled [18:19] docmax: what Can cause issues is when ya get sda1 sda3 sda4 sda2 [18:19] it is wlan0 [18:19] i don't know if my vga driver is installed. how can i check that= [18:19] mordof: cool, sadly though your driver and compiz are enemies. [18:19] ? [18:19] Hi, Does anybody know when there will be 3D support for the ATI HD4850? [18:19] KristianRose: ohh right, you mean the dell mini10v with ubuntu moblin remix ? [18:19] Dr_Willis: in boot/grub/menu.lst where is defoption ? [18:20] so i guess there is no way to use wifi in live session [18:20] is there a way to automate editing a bunch of files? i have to change 2 lines on each file. [18:20] gotunandan: yea. [18:20] can someone help me fix my network? will upgrading to the beta fix my network? i didn't break it must have been an update, or a glitch [18:20] iDangerMouse: no idea. load it in a text editor and use the search feature. I amusing Grub2 - so i dont even have a grub1 menu.lst to check [18:20] ok [18:20] mordof: you can run this script called compiz-check available at http://forlong.blogage.de/article/pages/Compiz-Check [18:20] Dr_Willis, i want to keep everything logical and in order [18:20] ioka: type ifconfig ..does it show wlan0 ?

[18:37] JoeNu2Linux: looks like you have an IP -> 192.168.2.3, try to ping another computer on the network or your router prolly 192.168.2.1 [18:37] mikinanuq, i didnt do much at all with the system so far, after install added vlc ,xchat and konversation, then started a reading project, only thing i can remember doing was updates [18:37] mikinanuq, ok [18:38] ioka: cp -R is Recursive, so yes.

[18:40] ioka: If you use: cp -R /folder /some-other-folder it will copy /folder with all hidden files/folders underneath into /some-other-folder/folder but if you use cp -R /folder/* /some-other-folder it copies only the visible files and folders from /folder into /some-other-folder [18:40] mikinanuq, pings ok there too, how do i set up ip and dns, etc in ubuntu? [18:41] JoeNu2Linux: the network manager applet usually sets that up for you via DHCP to your internet rounter. [18:42] mikinanuq, it was all ok, and then bang it was gone (i presume after an update) [18:42] JoeNu2Linux: most people just plug it in and it works.

I think he's talking about samba shares or windows shares.

[18:56] mikinanuq: yep :) I think he may have replaced a samba config file during an update (maybe moving into another workgroup) if it's the windows shares that are at issue.

OK, so your network is working perfectly. What *exactly* is the problem you are having? It sounds like you could see some Windows shares "before" and now you cannot. Anything else, or is that the extent of the problem? [18:58] Farrel: /msg alis help list irc help is in #freenode please refrain from asking non-Ubuntu questions in #ubuntu [18:58] no , that is it. would be real nice to know what happened and why [18:58] Pici, sry for bothering [18:58] ilowe: I guess he wants the network browsing feature (as in, you open network:// and you automatically see all machines running SMB) [18:59] win machines are gone, at least that is all i notice (remember how new i am ) [18:59] JoeNu2Linux: OK, no problem.

Through SSH, I can see the file is up to date, however, when I try to execute it, it's using a previous version and I have no idea on how to refresh it. Anyone know what's happening ? === Nathan_Harig is now known as Binford [19:02] JoeNu2Linux: and can you also give me the output of running "sudo uname -a"? [19:02] every time I start Vuze, I get this same message and Vuze restarts over and over, displaying this message each time: Vuze just completed downloading an important update and must now be restarted so that the update can be installed. [19:03] try to remove it and install it again [19:03] ilowe, http://pastebin.com/d160bbf70 [19:03] JoeNu2Linux: OK, what workgroup are your windows machines in? [19:04] me? [19:04] mr`Cubicular: there's likely an issue with permissions on the temp folder. run vuez under sudo, let the update finish and restart again normally [19:04] ilowe, Linux LINUX 2.6.28-15-generic #52-Ubuntu SMP Wed Sep 9 10:49:34 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux [19:04] anyone?

I get weird "you do not have permission" errors [19:05] JoeNu2Linux: thanks for the uname; do you know what workgroup your Windows machines are in? [19:05] i have done that joeyeye [19:05] Ileden_, workgroup is called workgroup [19:05] Binford: ssh is good for transferring files between machines [19:06] ilowe, workgroup is called workgroup [19:06] mr`Cubicular: I had this issue and google'd for a fix - I definitely resolved it [19:07] Hello. Is there a way to make GNOME recognise a USB drive I just plugged in? I can mount it manually, but GNOME will just not recognise it. I have to specify that this is logging on remotely using NX Client. [19:08] Cobalt: Usually, Nautilus (the file manager/desktop) handles automounting. [19:08] joeyeye: i try to restart it in sudo and then normally but it keeps repeating: Vuze just completed downloading an important update and must now be restarted so that the update can be installed. [19:08] Cobalt: You might need to install gnome-mount for that. [19:09] Cobalt: Also... _where_ are you plugging in that drive? On the remote PC? [19:09] JoeNu2Linux: OK, can I see the output of /// ps aux | grep "[ns]mbd" /// (without the /// but including the quotes) [19:09] grawity: Yes, but for some reason, it does not seem to pick up the drive in a GNOME session initiated by NX client. Gnome-mount is already there. [19:09] then counts down to restart [19:09] rendering it useless [19:09] What does the "Xv" in `sudo aticonfig --overlay-type=Xv` refer to? [19:09] grawity: Remote PC. NX Client session is to remote PC. I'm looking for the thing to pop up in the remote session. It does not. [19:10] grawity: This is Hardy, by the way, I'm still on LTS. [19:10] mr`Cubicular: what vuze version ? [19:10] the one in the repositories [19:11] joeyeye: 3.1.1.1.0 [19:11] whoops [19:11] 3.1.1.0 [19:12] JoeNu2Linux: try this: "sudo apt-get install winbind" (without quotes) [19:12] ilowe, please rephrase that === ada2358__ is now known as ada2358 [19:13] JoeNu2Linux: rephrase which bit? [19:13] OK, can I see the output of /// ps aux | grep "[ns]mbd" /// (without the /// but including the quotes) [19:13] Cobalt: what does it mean to be "on LTS" ? [19:13] is there a "ping" for printers/parallel port? [19:14] !LTS | mr`Cubicular [19:14] mr`Cubicular: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Hardy (Hardy Heron 8.04). The next LTS release is scheduled to be !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) [19:14] JoeNu2Linux: never mind, just do "apt-get install winbind"; let's try that [19:14] ilowe, doen [19:14] what does it mean to be "supported"? [19:14] joeyeye: are you still there? [19:14] mr`Cubicular: Basically, provide help with issues that might arise from using it. In this channel, for example. Or forums.

[19:21] whats cooking today [19:21] teimu: i also have a wpa enterprise network in college but i safely ignore the CA certificate, works ok for me [19:22] teimu: if you really ***need*** to use a certificate then yes, use the same one the students use [19:22] gotunandan: the one i know i see right now is "Equifax_Secure_CA.pem". [19:22] ilowe, http://pastebin.com/d9080cd0 [19:22] gotunandan: I guess my real question is, what will a certificate in connecting to a WPA network provide me?

[19:27] ilowe, fyi - 250gb data drive in this box called files [19:27] JoeNu2Linux: s'OK, there's no impact [19:27] alfatau: usually torrent programs allow you to limit upload download speeds [19:28] Ileden_, at the end of the line that starts with hosts? the very end? no space? [19:28] alfatau: nevermind. i live with roommates, and i've been having problems with people filling up our line with torrents, and therefore making the network unusable for everyone else [19:28] JoeNu2Linux: it should read "hosts: files mdns4 [NOTFOUND=return] dns wins" or whatever [19:28] Hello , I have a friend who is going to run a script ( extract files and stuff ) and his hdd to smal but he has a external usb disk but it's in fat32 , as I understand you can't sett file permissions on the files stored on fat32. so I was thinking of making a virtal harddrive , that can be stored on the USB drive and be mounted , can se be done with a dd file ? [19:28] hello [19:29] help tc filter please [19:29] JoeNu2Linux: once that is done, try to ping your windows machine using only it's windows name [19:29] ilowe, take out the mdns4? [19:29] Zedde: yeah, should be fine [19:30] JoeNu2Linux: nope, I just pasted my line; leave yours and append "wins" to it. [19:30] alfatau: ok, so, are the computers connecting to the internet through you? i would think there's a router that you're all connecting to [19:30] ilowe, You do not have the permissions necessary to save the file.

"sudo nano /etc/nsswitch.conf" should help [19:30] Zedde: "source" can be /dev/zero. [19:31] gotunandan: omg, it actually works -- cheers dude [19:31] Zedde: dd is just one part of it, you have to mount the virtual hard drive as a loop device [19:31] hi folk, I need to keep up-to-date my Network-manager, how can I do it? I mean, that I use easypeasy, ubuntu for netbook, and I cannot upgrade to last ubuntu version, but I need the network-manager up to date... how to solve? [19:31] mikinanuq: that I know , I do that in the script too [19:31] I don't have any sound either, I've tried reinstalling ALSA and still I get nothing. :^/ [19:31] Zedde: I remember seeing a howto on it a while ago, maybe I can find it for you [19:31] ilowe: I'm tracking your assistance to JoeNu2Linux and it's helping me too. ... a quick question, I have a windoze server "SOSO" which I can ping now using "SOSO", but if I try lowercase "soso" it resolves to some external ip address... what's up with that ? [19:32] mikinanuq: :D [19:33] joeyeye: weird... I know that I have to ping windows machines in my network using uppercase... I'm not sure why (I chalk it up to some kind of windoze failing but you can't always believe the linux guys :) ) [19:33] windows is not a curse word: it is an extremely effective operating system that was perhaps the majority of the worlds first exposure to personal computers [19:34] ilowe, how do i save this?

[19:35] teimu: yup... but you wouldn't use the same logic to argue that everybody should ride a bike with training wheels :) [19:35] teimu: it still is the majority of the worlds exposure to personal computers [19:35] Anyone here know of a tool that can show me traffic totals between 2 hosts, by running the tool on one host?

[19:36] ilowe: I do know that those can sniff the traffic, but what I am looking for is a constant updating of... [19:36] x.x.x.x -> x.x.x.x = 5/mbps [19:37] teimu: LOL... given the ratio of windows to linux in my network and the relative amount of maintenance I need to do on each host, I believe my "typo" accurately characterizes *my* windows machines. [19:37] talntid: oops, sorry, I don't know about that [19:37] roygbiv: xrandr [19:37] alfatau: I know what you mean, the only other way to do this is if your router allows for it. [19:37] teimu: maybe I should hang out in more Windows support channels and I would get better performance ;) [19:37] teimu: well, i've an ubuntu router and gateway (DNS server, DHCP server, etc...) which directly connects to internet with an ethernet device, and with a second ethernet device forwards traffic to an access point to which every people of the lan connect to. [19:38] JoeNu2Linux: how're we doing, there? [19:38] if I disable a daemon do I need to shutdown to stop it, or would loging out and back in suffice? [19:38] mikinanuq: my router is an ubuntu box [19:38] ilowe, nothing there, shall i reboot or somehting? [19:38] how do I enable roaming mode for my wireless card in xubuntu 9.04? [19:38] odinsbane what's weird is that my system now no longer even detects the display. it worked fine before i installed the nvidia driver :/ [19:39] JoeNu2Linux: hang on; did you try pinging your Windows machine? [19:39] alfatau: should be able to do it then.. I am not familiar on how to do it in ubuntu but QoS is what you're looking for [19:39] it only recognizes the built in laptop display, not my external one [19:39] ilowe, ping was already working [19:39] ilowe, ? [19:39] JoeNu2Linux: can you paste the output of ping to one of your windows machines? [19:40] roygbiv: Did you try rebooting with the display attached, that was the old way to get an overhead projector to work. [19:40] anyone use Ubuntu MID with a Smart Q 5 or similar? [19:40] mikinanuq: bookmarked , that was spot on . Thanks , ones again this is one of the best support channels I know of :) [19:40] ilowe: ok, fine. i just feel like some people do misspell it to appease the community. if you have an angst with microsoft, go ahead and misspell. but just make sure to have the right reasons [19:40] ilowe, by name or #? [19:40] odinsbane yea i've been tinkering for a while with no success. even tried switching back to the previous driver and now it won't work that way either [19:41] JoeNu2Linux: by name, please [19:41] linuxcranks answered my question [19:41] i love linux and unix in general and have used them for years but wow, my impression of X overall is pretty low :/ [19:41] teimu: it was actually very tongue-in-cheek since I was saying that the OP actually *shouldn't* listen to people saying it was the fault of Windows :) We're both on the same page. [19:41] hi, I'm trying to understand how linux routing works. In my routing table, I have a route that has a network, gateway, and netmask of 0.0.0.0 - what does that translate to? [19:42] it looks like a default gateway with no gateway specified [19:42] mweichert: 0.0.0.0 matches all IPv4 addresses. [19:42] mikinanuq: i followed instruction found on the http://lartc.org/ website, and after a week recompiling kernel and creating uneases to other people connected to the lan, i wasn't able to solve the problem. so i'm now looking for some application which does that task... or for someone who help me with lartc setup :( [19:42] the gateway is all zeroes too? [19:42] roygbiv, yes [19:42] mweichert do you have an active interface on the system? [19:42] torrent program with web GUI which one ? [19:43] Sky[x], try deluge [19:43] Sky [x] i would recommend deluge [19:43] :) [19:43] roygbiv, yes. This route gets created when I create a point-to-point connection using ppp [19:43] i!nfo transmission | BaGy [19:43] !info transmission | BaGy [19:43] BaGy: transmission (source: transmission): lightweight BitTorrent client.

[19:44] ilowe, this is different than win ping, proper command =? [19:44] hey [19:44] how can i restrict a directory for a virtual host??? [19:44] JoeNu2Linux: "sudo ping MYWINDOWSHOSTNAME" [19:44] ilowe: ping doesn't require root. [19:44] JoeNu2Linux: when you said before that "ping works", what did you mean? [19:44] how can I run commands as specific user during boot up? [19:45] can anyone reccomend a usb headset that has a mic onit? [19:45] grawity: you're right, I was lazy and couldn't remember [19:45] no i meand it seems to keep going [19:45] grawity: well ping does require root but usually the binary is suid [19:45] in windowsland i get 4 results [19:45] JoeNu2Linux: LOL... OK, just Ctl-C kill it [19:45] ill try again [19:46] JoeNu2Linux: yeah, I don't need 300 lines of ping output :P [19:46] Hello, anybody have anyexperience with Broadcom wireless card in ubuntu? [19:46] saml: if you want to run them as you - it probably makes more sense to run stuff as startup items in gnome... if you really want to do it on boot you could use su and build something into /etc/rc.local [19:46] heh [19:46] Hi [19:46] alfatau: hmm, I'll take a quick look but you may eventually need to check their mailing list or put in a post. [19:46] roygbiv: music has the right to children [19:46] JoeNu2Linux: brb... just going for a quick coffee... gimme 10 [19:46] bwlang_, i'm running ubuntu as server [19:46] andrew__ yes [19:46] what are you having trouble with?

[19:47] roygbiv: oh, i think you do. [19:47] I cannot write a CD. Brasero tells me an error, that it runs out of the disk, Gnomebaker tells me that directiories too deep. It's not that funny, writing a CD in Ubuntu. [19:47] allll righty then [19:47] Big_D, can you help me? I cannot use my wireless at all. it wont detect networks and when I manually put in theinformation it wont connecteither [19:47] bwlang_, when a new machine boots up, it should fetch code and compile. and i don't want to fetch code,compile as root. [19:47] is there other CD burner app? [19:47] can anyone reccomend a usb headset that has a mic onit? [19:48] Big_D, this is a fresh install of ubuntu 9.04, and it installed 'fwcutter' right after it booted up [19:48] what type of security is the router using?

Is there a way to use smbclient to get the IP, or some similar method? [19:48] oh right. boards of canader [19:48] JoeNu2Linux: Ouch... are you sure that's your real (internal) IP you're pinging there? [19:48] AKOS_beginner: fun not funny - that directories too deep issue is real - and has nothing to do with linux - it's about the specification for the cd file system. decrease your depth [19:48] Big_D, I'm unsure. I know the passcode but i cannot access the gateway page to check the settings. [19:48] alfatau: do you know bash scripting? [19:48] roygbiv: gotta love bands that know color hue mnemonics :) [19:49] The content I want ot write to Cd came from a CD :-) [19:49] Ileden_, ? [19:49] Tohuw: 'net lookup host foo' [19:49] ilowe, ? [19:49] It's the big Windows install CD :-) [19:49] boards can be handy. and canada seems like a comfy place so i reckon boards of canada is a good combination [19:49] tab grrrrrrrr [19:49] saml: maybe you could look at runit? [19:49] I cannot change the dir stucture [19:49] grawity: thanks, that worked like a champ [19:49] mikinanuq: yes i know... i wrote scripts for weeks for automatizing some tasks onto that router... [19:49] Can somebody double-check JoeNu2Linux is pinging the right host? [19:49] bwlang_, thanks [19:49] andrew__, is this your network? It should say in the dropdown menu what encryption is used, WEP, WPA, WPA2 [19:50] ilowe, huh? [19:50] Big_D, its myparents, I cant see the network on any lists... [19:50] alfatau: check this out... it's supposed to do QoS based on lartc... http://pastebin.com/f62914a69 [19:50] Does it means that I will not be able to write it to CD? [19:50] akdo_beginner: maybe you've put it into a folder? (thereby adding one level to the depth) [19:50] alfatau: unfortunately the notes are in spanish [19:51] JoeNu2Linux: ilowe: I see the uppercase/lowercase issue here: JoeNu2Linux use uppercase ping ASUS1 [19:51] hey guys, plz help, i accidently removed the network manager from the right upper corner, how do i get it back?? [19:51] our load right now is 8.72 ... how do we find out WHY this is ? i.e what specifically is causing a high load... should load always be below 1?

Using 9.04 [20:23] JoeNu2Linux: Under "eth0" or "wlan0" you should see a line that starts with "inet addr" [20:23] hello. I have a pc which is connected to the internet. I want to share this internet connection wirelessly to another computer through a router. How do I go about doing this? [20:24] ilowe, its goen nuts inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 [20:24] Good afternoon, guys. Once again I need some advice... [20:24] JoeNu2Linux: That line probably belongs to the 'lo' interface (loopback), and is normal. [20:24] Chun1: does the second computer have a wireless card? [20:24] JoeNu2Linux: LOL... OK, we need one that looks like "192.168.x.x" or "10.0.x.x" [20:24] how to make alarm continuable in this script http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Talk:Code/tp-theft-basic [20:24] JoeNu2Linux: just pastbin the whole output if you're confused [20:25] Laque: yep, but there are multiple other pcs which I want to connect to the router, I've tried ad-hoc and it's very flaky [20:25] Really I just need to know how to share a connection [20:25] is not advertising, I simply asked: ( [20:26] hi, i installed 9.04 alternate on a iMac g3 and i have startup issues. i have to hold ctrl option f1 during the boot, otherwise the pc hangs. i read the faq for ppc and the known issues for ppc, and those solutions do not work. [20:26] NF404: no one is claiming it is advertising. But it certainly isn't an ubuntu support issue so it doesn't belong here [20:26] inet addr:192.168.2.3 Bcast:192.168.2.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 [20:26] I'm getting ubuntu 8.04 to run on a LTSP, but I'm having some issues with it's network controller (RDC R6040). Looks like the right modules are loaded and the interface is up, but when I lspci it's ID, it seems like it's not using the module. Any ideas or starting point? [20:26] Chun1: The router just splits the internet between the computers connected to it. It's not that it is sharing off another pc [20:26] is there anyone here using ubuntu on PPC ? [20:26] still tells me nothing, unless i am on windows :) [20:27] well, not anymore: ( [20:27] JoeNu2Linux: OK, this tells us that ASUS1 should have an address that looks like "192.168.2.x" [20:28] alabd: If you're looking for perl help, please ask in #perl [20:28] its is .101 [20:28] JoeNu2Linux: can you run ipconfig on your ASUS1 machine and check the output to see what the IP is? [20:28] JoeNu2Linux: cool [20:28] thank pici [20:28] Laque: surely it's possible for the router to split the internet connection provided by a connected pc? [20:28] iknow what is it, i set it [20:28] network manager says device not ready, however i can see the wifi card in ifconfig -a .HOwever i can not bring it up [20:28] JoeNu2Linux: OK, now can you run "smbclient -L 192.168.2.101" from your linux host? [20:28] JoeNu2Linux: just hit "enter" when asked for a password [20:28] JoeNu2Linux: and pastebin the output [20:29] Laque: your computer isn't the thing providing the internet though, what internet are you using? [20:29] Hello, I have this laptop here, and the enter key is not working. I ran xmodmap -e "keycode 62 = KP_Enter" to make the right shift key the enter button and it works. I also added that into bashrc to run that command when I log in... but how can I make it run that command once the computer starts up? i need the enterbutton on the log-in screen... [20:29] Laque: university ethernet connection. I've tried plugging the router into it, but had no success - can only seem to access it using a pc [20:30] mtnbkr: it will no doubt be updated with the next ubuntu release in about 2 weeks [20:30] hi everyone i have a question about vim... [20:30] vox: the next release many should do a nice clean install of really, since default Ext4 :) not for 9.04 Ext3 upgrades though, and the Ext3 to Ext4 conversion probably won't be quite good enoguh [20:30] is there a command i can use that will highlight certain words? [20:31] sebsebseb: what? [20:31] vox: Oh you don't know what a file system is? [20:31] Laque: While the router is powered off, plug lan cable into the "IN" slot and plug another lan cable from your first computer to the "1" slot. Power it on after that and check your first computer for interent [20:31] Chun1* [20:31] Chun1: does your university require registration at the beginning of a year? [20:31] I use file-roller in KDE, but when I double click to open a file, it uses gnome(?) file settings associations instead of KDE... any way to fix this? [20:32] Chun1: like computer registration [20:32] sebsebseb: ...i didnt ask anything. [20:32] ilowe, http://pastebin.com/d31c7552e [20:32] I have an ubuntu server with 8 ubuntu clients. Is there a way to easily update the software on all of the clients at once? [20:32] like if i need to highlight every ip in a log but a certain one? [20:33] Chun1: you may need to setup your router for your connection (usually automated) by going to the router IP (commonly 192.168.1.1) [20:33] edbian: apt-proxy , usually [20:33] iarp: yeah, it does. I think it adds my mac address to the allow list. tried spoofing the mac addr of the router and registering, but the router still didn't provide any connection [20:33] vox: I read something about being upgraded to the next release [20:33] vox: by release do you mean the 9.01 release that is "coming soon" ?? This is a new email server at my clients school. and I'd prefer to not go through a full system "upgrade" - not just yet anyway. [20:33] Chun1: most of the time you can just contact helpdeck with the mac address of the item you want intenret access with and they'll manually add it to the alloowed list [20:33] mtnbkr: oh an email server [20:33] sebsebseb: it wasnt aimed at you. i was responding to someone else. [20:33] Chun1: might need to contact the network administrator so that your router may be added [20:33] how can I make an /etc/init.d script run when the computer starts? right now I have to run sudo /etc/init.d/nginx start after every restart [20:34] sebsebseb: well, it is Zimbra on Ubunut 64bit [20:34] genii: I think that is deprecated and is now "apt-cacher" which I thought was only a means of making the packages download faster (because they're on the local server). Is this not correct ? [20:34] vox: I know, but I saw it, hence why I put what I put, but nevermind I guess [20:34] JoeNu2Linux: Sweet... looks like your workgroup name is ASUS1; can you go and set that in /etc/samba/smb.conf (near the top, it says "workgroup = WORKGROUP") [20:34] mtnbkr: Which version of Ubuntu I mean the number [20:34] JoeNu2Linux: we're really close now! [20:34] sebsebseb: so a full upgrade is probably not as bad as it might be, ... how do I find out the Ubuntu verison # [20:34] I think it was/is 8.04 server 64bit [20:35] !version | mtnbkr [20:35] mtnbkr: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy » [20:35] edbian: Once the initial box has the updates, the rest all use it's store of deb files, yes [20:35] mtnbkr: really that server should be running 8.04, because it's the LTS [20:35] mtnbkr: 9.10, yes. well, failing that you can get the source and compile it yourself i guess [20:35] I'm getting ubuntu 8.04 to run on a LTSP, but I'm having some issues with it's network controller (RDC R6040). Looks like the right modules are loaded and the interface is up, but when I lspci it's ID, it seems like it's not using the module. Any ideas or starting point? [20:35] genii, I'm looking for a way to update all of the software on all my clients with one command (probably from the server but you know) [20:35] sebsebseb": thanks for that... it is 8.04.3 LTS, relase 8.04 "Hardy" [20:36] genii, Is there no way to centrally administer packages for all of my clients? [20:36] mtnbkr: and the acstaul server version? [20:36] vox: yeah, while i am quite capable of that (been doing this morethan 12 years, I am trying as best as I can to adhere to this distro's way of doing things where possible. :) [20:36] edbian: How about "for host in host1 host2 host3; do ssh $host "sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade"; done"? [20:36] edbian: there are programs around that will do group-login-and-execute, just do some googling [20:36] ilowe: I think that Domain=[value] is really the hostname/computer name of the Windoze computer, and not the workgroup name ... [20:36] thanks anyhow [20:36] mtnbkr: with no GUI [20:36] How do I make an adhoc network? [20:37] sound not working on my system [20:37] joeyeye: not in my domain; when I do the smbclient bit, I get my actual domain/workgroup [20:37] ilowe, brilliant! :) [20:37] edbian: thanks, can I quote you? ;) [20:37] sebsebseb: that is all it really said... nothing about a "server version" and if possible I am pretty sure I would have installed it with NO GUI too. ;) [20:37] joeyeye: are you showing the name of the machine? [20:37] ilowe, absolutely ! :) [20:37] ilowe: hmm... i get hostname for all machines I smbclient to ... [20:37] How do I make an adhoc network? [20:37] edbian: There is an ssh which works on multiple boxes... offhand i forget the name however [20:38] ilowe, no, my workgroup has always been workgroup [20:38] mtnbkr: Did you install the desktop version and then put server stuff on it? [20:38] ilowe, The only problem is that I have to have an ssh server running on every client (silly) [20:38] JoeNu2Linux: can you please double-check on your windows machine? [20:38] is there anyone on fiber here? [20:38] How do I make an adhoc network? [20:38] edbian: yeah, that's true; but you can set them up to auto-auth with ssh keys, it's not so bad that way [20:38] Manifest: AdHoc means one wireless connected to another; no gatway needed I suppose [20:38] Moofius: I generally put the stuff I want to startup in /etc/rc.local However, you could just add what you need started to the startup applications [20:39] and how do I do that then? [20:39] nocleader: I know, I need this for my phone, how do I connect to it? [20:39] hello i have an intel video adapter in a emachine intel 82945G.GZ I would like to get the 32 bit opengl components installed and working...the people at winehq tells me this is the problem with running a game...anyone know how to go about it? [20:39] mtnbkr: There is a special server version with a special server kernel and that [20:39] ilowe, before when i went into network my computers were all on the first screen, not now [20:39] is related to this sox -n -t ossdsp /dev/dsp synth 1.0 sine 2000-4000 sine 4000-2000 ,how to last alarm more ? [20:40] Moofius: do you need this to startup with your pc or upon login? [20:40] hikenboot: Intel graphics card in 9.04? [20:40] sebsebseb: It has been a few months but I am 99.99% sure I installed the server version afterall, it was intended to be the Email/collaberation server for a small/medium sized private boarding school. I have no use for GUIs on my servers. :) and would have installed the smallest possible amount of packages too. [20:40] I was trying earlier to install ubuntu 9.10 x64 on my desktop. I wanted every mount point(/home / /usr etc.) to have its own partition. However, if I set it up like this, my PC would reboot when trying to copy data to the partitions. This did not happen on my laptop with ubuntu 9.10 i386. Anyone have any ideas why this wouldn't work? [20:40] Manifest: for voip I suppose? [20:40] ilowe, like i said asus1 on workgroup [20:40] JoeNu2Linux: LOL... if you want to use the "shotgun approach" you can try "dpkg-reconfigure -a" which might work to reset all the settings of all packages... [20:40] mtnbkr: ok simple question, did it come with a GUI or not? [20:40] Laque: Startup :) [20:41] Hiya due to some really annoying permission errors i have to run wine as root with sudo, but i am now trying to install some winetricks fonts and it returns 'You (root) don't own /home/connor', which chmod option can i use to change the permissions so that i can still create and delete files in ~ but i will be able to run winetricks? [20:41] yes 9.04 jaunty [20:41] edbian: you can also check out the "unattended-upgrades" package which (with a bit of tweaking) might be what you want [20:41] I'm still having trouble finding something. Windows has "Windows Update Server" So that you can administer updates to all of your clients. Is there something like that for linux (ubuntu) ? [20:41] Moofius: definitely put it in /etc/rc.local then. either add a line to execute the file you put in, or put the contents in rc.local === Factran_ is now known as Factran [20:41] ilowe, I'll take a look at that. [20:41] !9.10 | mordocai [20:41] mordocai: 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 [20:41] ilowe, i really wanted to know what happened and why, so as to "trust it " again [20:41] mtnbkr: as long as you got the server version well no problem, and LTS's get five years of support on the server, with the next LTS being 10.04 in April 2010 [20:41] what ubuntu 9.10 had the new python and perl?

It was 9.04 [20:42] edbian: if you set up unattended with a local package cache then you get a similar setup to WUS [20:42] is there a new iso out for it [20:42] ilowe, Thank you! [20:42] mtnbkr: you can also upgrade an LTS directly to a later LTS, where as if you use non LTS releases you have to go through releases untill you have another LTS, to be able to directly upgrade to another LTS [20:42] ilowe, at this point whatever you think is best, lets do [20:42] joeyeye: weird... I clearly show the domain [20:42] #ati [20:42] ? [20:42] sebsebseb, yes 9.04 jaunty...sorry didnt address you ;-) [20:42] hello [20:42] i have a problem [20:42] hikenboot: uh?

[20:43] JoeNu2Linux: if you installed this today, I'll tuck my tail between my legs and suggest that you re-install [20:43] Laque: found it out myself, "sudo update-rc.d nginx start 51 S ." [20:43] okay [20:43] red-spider: you havn't even asked a question, ffs [20:43] b back one min [20:43] Moofius: ah XD i'll remember that for next time [20:43] you have just told us you bought a pc with gentoo. [20:43] so getting back to my original question... why would the bacula package currently available be so old? And how can I tell if the newest version will be in 9.10 before I make the upgred (or do a vm test install etc) [20:43] Moofius: thx for reporting back - I just couldn't remember that as well :) [20:44] ilowe, there is about 4 packages to reinstall, it is completely deletable [20:44] i bought a gentoo pc the other day and my mate dared me to do somethign and he opened the cd tray and before i knew it my balls where stuck ni a closing disc tray can anybody help? [20:44] im in pain [20:44] It almost felt like you thought I was using a gui for a moment, blashphemy! [20:44] what the best linux out that base on ubuntu? [20:44] JoeNu2Linux: OK, then try the shotgun line above before you re-install :) [20:44] can anyone suggest a good newsreader for ubuntu? that handles nzb?

[20:45] jrib its serious [20:45] mtnbkr: you probably don't even need to upgrade the file system on the server any time soon if ever really, where as many desktop Ubuntu users should be clean installing realy when 9.10 is out and giving it a try with default Ext4, plus they got something else that also makes boot up much faster [20:45] my fuckin balls hurt [20:45] red-spider: bye [20:45] lol [20:45] ilowe, ok, for my info, what exactly are we doing with thAt one? super-reset sorta? [20:45] buh bye red-spider. [20:45] JoeNu2Linux: you are asking to reconfigure all installed packages [20:46] ok [20:46] JoeNu2Linux: usually that will reset any changes to the "factory default" [20:46] VCoolio: the 8.04 i used before had all highlighted items as the colour i selected in the theme. now using 9.04 and only the highlight on icons has changed to the selected colour [20:46] JoeNu2Linux: make sure you select "accept package maintainer's version" if you are asked abot replacing files [20:46] mtnbkr: I think this answers your questions nicely, good luck with your server, and try and get the desktops using LInux to ideally :) [20:46] VCoolio: every theme i pick keeps this orange on buttons thing, regardless of the colour i pick. very frustrating [20:46] ok [20:47] ilowe, here we go ! [20:47] JoeNu2Linux: :) [20:47] ilowe, shall i leave xchat ? [20:47] JoeNu2Linux: no need [20:48] hi, I'm running ubuntu 9.04, and for some unknown reason my /etc/init.d/apache2 gets overwrite every 3-5 reboots, it goes to /etc/init.d/apache2.X where X is an integer, so it doesnt boot at start up, I've checked the permisions and they both have the same, I've not upgrade the apache deamon, so I've no idea why is this happening, any help is welcome [20:48] mtnbkr: oh you have another question or the original question that I just saw, ok right [20:48] mtnbkr: Ubuntu only do security updates from the repo [20:48] Laque: can you paste a link to a screenshot? [20:49] RVS4000 VPN connection from Ubuntu 9.04 anyone? [20:49] VCoolio: sure [20:49] sebsebseb, you from aussie, no? [20:49] ilowe, must be root? [20:49] mtnbkr: so yes stuff in 8.04 is going to get old, but ppa's can be used for a lot of later stuff, or you could install it yourself in another way [20:49] Universal: Why?

[20:51] hi all [20:51] mtnbkr: they are like mini repos that can be added [20:51] ilowe, this could be bad , questions LOL [20:51] mtnbkr: for newer versions of packages [20:51] JoeNu2Linux: s'OK, what've you got? [20:51] any substitute for wine [20:51] mtnbkr: there won't be one for everything, but a lot of major stuff there will be [20:52] Ileden_, adduser? [20:52] aayush: a Windows virtual machine? [20:52] ilowe, i hit enter [20:52] yeah, Ok... in Gentoo they are called "overlays" I get it... but still I am sort of stuck with that old version without some work on my end then. :) [20:52] JoeNu2Linux: that's fine, accept all the defaults [20:52] seb: but vmware is not free [20:52] aayush: Virtualbox :) [20:52] Vmware-server is free [20:52] Can someone help me setup dhcp3-server? I have it configured similar to another server at work, but it does not seem to be functioning. My laptop is not getting a lease. Server(eth1)->switch->Laptop [20:52] vmware has a free vrsion [20:52] aayush: also VMware player and VMware server are free, they just aren't that good [20:53] were can i get new themes?

[20:53] thanks mtnbkr I will try [20:53] juju: thanks [20:53] vmware is the leader for virt software [20:54] someone make a program that automatically decides if it is a .tar.bz2 .tar.gz .zip whatever file, I'm tired of trying to remember all commands that unpacks em :/ [20:54] joebodo_, that does not mean its the best [20:54] sebsebseb: hmmm... I use vmware-server here to run two Linux vms on a Linux server and things run quite well. No complaints at all. All in only 4GB ram on the physical server too. [20:54] mtnbkr: ppa's can sometimes mess stuff up apparantly, but usaully they will be ok, as a result though you shoudn't get loads of them, and the ppa sites tend to be on luanchpad. If there isn't a ppa for what you want, you can maybe find an Ubuntu Deb for it, or of course you can compile from source [20:54] Moofius: file [20:55] joebodo_, in server xen, kvm are rock solid [20:55] igama regardless, it is good [20:55] how do I add an ubuntu-bug report to an existing bug in LP? [20:55] joebodo_, yes its good [20:55] always having to google "unpack .tar.bz2" then finding the 3rd result actually saying a working answer [20:55] Help me, Masters of Ubuntu, you're my only hope... [20:55] I am having trouble ssh tunneling from ubuntu to a windows server share (samba) at work. I figured I would have to set this up somehow via my linux server at work, but I have not been able to get it to work? anyone already doing this sort of thing? [20:55] javatexan: that won't work... [20:56] hikenboot: I don't know about that, but I do know that Intel graphics cards can get right problems with 9.04, does yours work properly otherwise? [20:56] mtnbkr: not getting anything... [20:56] mtnbkr: are you looking for this? https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-bacula/+archive/ppa [20:56] mtnbkr: that gives what type of file it is, but getting that it's a bzip2 does not help me to remember the "tar xzcvfdsfge" command [20:56] ssh will allow you to create TCP tunnels but windows "sharing" is a combination of TCP and UDP you need to look into a VPN (openVPN maybe?) [20:57] I have problem with xserver, Description: Ubuntu karmic (development branch) Release:9.10 [20:57] Afzal : Please join #ubuntu+1 for Karmic/9.10 support/discussion. [20:57] Afzal: #ubuntu+1 for Karmic [20:57] sebsebseb, yes it seems to work fine for them except that it wont run the wine games (which they need in order to make the switch from windows) [20:57] javatexan, a VPN would be the best solution [20:57] thanks a ton i have placed on download lets c [20:57] ilowe: YES! I think so! Thanks for the link [20:57] #hiken-boot thanks [20:57] mtnbkr: no problem :) [20:57] hello, has anyone found that since yesterday they can't boot anymore? [20:58] hikenboot: there are also commercial verisons of Wine that yes are meant to be paid for, that sometimes games work better in [20:58] Hi, can someone recommend me a good software to organize a small library. I need to store books name, isbn, author, etc... I have googled for it but saw nothing promissor [20:58] running karmic that is, I should have said [20:58] undeconstructed: #ubuntu+1 for Karmic === Gad is now known as NijeDoMene [20:58] IGama, I would agree, but the vpn is overloaded, so I was hoping that I could use ssh to the linux box who is visible to internet to do the same thing. [20:59] oh right, thanks sebsebseb [20:59] is there a better channel for VPN questions? [20:59] mtnbkr: any suggestions? I even tried setting my ip on laptop manually and cannot ping the server interface (eth1) [20:59] rafael, if you use facebook there is a good app called 'livingsocial'... other than that I don't know [20:59] undeconstructed: np [20:59] andrew__: Is it free software? [20:59] brado: ##networking maybe? [21:00] ilowe, did it, no network, reboot? [21:00] hikenboot: Which game is it? [21:00] thanks sebsebseb they cant afford to buy them right now [21:00] last choas [21:00] How does ubuntu build it's menus? What binaries does it choose to include? [21:00] JoeNu2Linux: what do you mean, no network? [21:00] hikenboot: 2D or 3D? [21:00] Is there a program that automatically extracts .tar.gz, tar.bz2 files and the like, without me having to find the correct options to "tar" or zip or rar to actually do it? === william is now known as Guest39609 [21:00] 3D [21:00] rafael: Koha [21:00] hikenboot: hmm [21:00] ilowe, still no network [21:00] mtnbkr: thanks.. [21:00] Moofius, right click on the file, and press extract [21:00] iGama: I'm not using a gui [21:00] hikenboot: I haven't tried it personally for 3D gaming, but Virtualbox 3.0+ have support for Direct3D 8 or whatever, so maybe it will work in that [21:00] JuJuBee: your "DHCP problem" now appears to not be a DHCP problem at all... :) [21:00] oo ok [21:01] sebsebseb, they tell me in winehq its an opengl problem [21:01] hikenboot: of course they need enough RAM to run a Windows virtual machine [21:01] Moofius, in that case i don't know :) [21:01] mtnbkr: Do you have experience with it? is it possible to consult books online? [21:01] rafael, yes it is free to use... i don't think it is open sourced however... more of a service they provide on facebook. they may have a stand alone program, but I am unaware of one. e-mail them. they intend you to add books you have read, and want to read and it shares that information with your friends [21:01] ilowe, should i reboot? [21:01] mtnbkr: I think you are correct. But eth1 appears to be up and I know the switch is working... [21:01] Moofius: apt-get install unp [21:01] JoeNu2Linux: in general, you *never* need to reboot with Linux (except if you just upgraded the kernel) [21:02] JoeNu2Linux: I guess that didn't really help much :( [21:02] rafael: It is a pretty extensive system for real Libraries and I have a little expeieince with it - but only in the installation side. I have zero expericnce in ILSs [21:02] rafael: sorry. :) BUT Koha is a HIGHLY rated ILS. which is what I think you are looking for. [21:02] ilowe, was worth a try [21:02] witam. [21:02] andref__: Thanks, but I don't want something free as in not pay. But free as free software (freedom) [21:02] JoeNu2Linux: Sorry I couldn't help *more* :) [21:02] oh, sorry hello [21:02] JuJuBee: OK, can you ping your OWN IP address that you set on the laptop from the laptop? [21:03] JoeNu2Linux: I have this stuff working here, so I know it's possible! [21:03] yes [21:03] ilowe, thx tho [21:03] JoeNu2Linux: you got it [21:03] mtnbkr: Gonna take a look. I found another gnutella, but I can't seem where to download the new version. Thanks.. [21:03] hikenboot: There are also some pretty good native games for Linux, people just need to know about them [21:03] VCoolio: http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/1289516/Screenshot1.png [21:03] !games [21:03] Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php [21:03] Somebody has tested ubuntu 9.10? [21:03] foofish: Thanks, that little program will save me so much time :) [21:03] VCoolio: http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/1289516/Screenshot2.png [21:03] strelok_evil: yes and #ubuntu+1 is the channel for it [21:03] mtnbkr: scratch that. I cannot now.... [21:04] strelok_evil: well until it's released that is [21:04] JuJuBee: does ifconfig show eth0? eth1? eth2 maybe even? [21:04] How do I change the default locale from utf8 to iso8859-1? === guntbert_ is now known as guntbert [21:04] JuJuBee: maybe you are working with the wrong interface (or Ubuntu changed it on you at some point) I haev seen this in other distros. [21:04] hikenboot: Dual booting for only one game, isn't that bad really, as long as Windows is secure enough as well of course, if Internet connected [21:05] mtnbkr: on the server? I have eth0 (my outside connection) and eth1(my inside connection) [21:05] sebsebseb: heh you just said windows, secure AND Internet in the same sentence :) [21:05] Laque: what theme are you using? check in either ~/.themes/ or /usr/share/themes/ if there is a folder "buttons" with an image with "prelight" in the name [21:05] mtnbkr: There are ways to make Windows reasonably secure [21:06] thanks sebsebseb [21:06] hi [21:06] JuJuBee: on the laptop... see what ifconfig shows for all interfaces. [21:07] mtnbkr: I can now ping the interface on laptop [21:07] hikenboot: try Virtualbox I suppouse [21:07] It was still set to dhcp... set ip manually [21:07] VCoolio: custom theme, New Wave Dark Menus, Green and Grey Colours, Clearlooks Window Border, Delta Icons, Default Pointer [21:07] JuJuBee: from where? the laptop or the server? [21:07] hikenboot: or ask in #vbox if that game will maybe work in there [21:07] the laptop... [21:07] ok thanks [21:07] Laque: new wave then; probably in /usr/share/themes; if there are no images paste the gtkrc file; I'll see if I can point you to the lines you need to edit [21:07] here's an ugly idea...I guess I could mount the windows share to my linux box since they are both behind firewall, then I should be able to ssh to linux box or even just make a nautilis bookmark to it....man that is ugly though....I was hoping for a cleaner, more secure way of doing this. [21:07] sebsebseb: I won;t comment on that any further. :) [21:08] mtnbkr: heh [21:08] mtnbkr: I guess [21:08] Hi, can anyone here help me with a wlan/wpa issue? [21:08] I need help with my keyboard prefs, please. [21:08] JuJuBee: so from the laptop you can ping the laptop's IP address, but NOT the server's Ip address [21:08] VCoolio: yep, it's images [21:08] mtnbkr: correct [21:08] VCoolio: I'll just gimp them [21:09] and on the laptop ifconfig shows how may "eth" interfaces? [21:09] mtnbkr: hikenboot in fact the most secure way to run Windows would be in a virtual machine, where you can do normal things to make it reasonably secure as well, then if you get infected or whatever, just delete the virtual hard disk it's on like a normal file, and use a clean copy, or re install onto a new virtual hard disk [21:09] Laque: it'll need root permissions; better copy them to your desktop, then gimp, then sudo mv back or "gksudo nautilus" [21:09] mtnbkr: the laptop has only one wired interface [21:10] mtnbkr: the wired interface works because I had it connected to the wifi router and it was obtaining an ip [21:10] VCoolio: meh, i just used gksudo nautilus lol\ [21:10] mtnbkr: hikenboot easier than having to remove an infected partition [21:10] mtnbkr: trying to set up a firewall/content filter on server [21:10] I also need help with sound. I have absolutely no sound, but the OS recognizes the hardware, and everything seems to be ok... but there is no sound... === MenZa_ is now known as MenZa [21:11] Laque: or copy the whole theme to ~/.themes, change the name to something else (also in the index.theme file) and then mess around whenever you want [21:11] Hey all, does anyone know why /boot/menu.lst would be totally empty? [21:11] mtnbkr: how can I check that eth1 on server is actually working properly? [21:11] VCoolio: sounds good [21:11] well i have created a separate linux partition for running the game in wine in a separate bottle shoudl be good enough [21:11] I've looked the problem up, I've followed instructions to the T, still, no sound. [21:11] Uninstalled/reinstalled ALSA [21:12] if i want that my histroy to be bigger how can i fix that? [21:12] Does anyone know how to configure grub 2 to add boot parameters? [21:12] Ozzy: gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst [21:12] JuJuBee: same way what does ifconfgi eth1 on the server show for the ipaddr line? [21:12] sebsebseb: That is NOT grub2 way [21:12] Ozzy: ask i #ubuntu+1 for grub2 since that would be karmic [21:13] mtnbkr: it shows the ip address I assigned via /etc/network/interfaces [21:13] sebsebseb: menu.lst is completely empty and contains nothing [21:13] !grub2 | Ozzy [21:13] Ozzy: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [21:13] genii: oh Grub2 [21:13] sebsebseb: in Vmware workstation I often take a snapshot before "using" the Windows amchine. Then when I am done I can just revert to the pre-use snapshot that is fast and easy too [21:13] I put puppy linux on an old laptop of mine, and wihin its repository is "clamav An anti-virus utility for Unix" can someone explain to my why this is there? I thought the whole point of unix/linux was the fact that we dont need one [21:14] mtnbkr: yep that's another good way to do a Windows virtual machine [21:14] genii: my problem is with why there is nothing in menu.lst, not how to use grub 2 [21:14] Ozzy: it doesn't use menu.lst anymore [21:14] genii: but possibly they may be connected [21:14] Ozzy: Grub2 DOESN'T USE menu.lst [21:14] Ozzy: you got Grub 2 in 9.04? [21:14] Thanks everyone. that would be my problem :P [21:15] Hi ! the screen resolution of my pc is ok in X, but i've got only a small screen in the terminal (boot, and Ctrl+ ALT+F1) What should I do ? [21:15] \nick benn [21:15] genii: Yes it's not time yet, plus this is sort of the wrong channel, but i'll take this oppertunity to ask you. When Karmic is relased can a 9.04 Ext4 install be upgraded without problems, and get the later Grub and all that? === Ben is now known as Guest91097 === Guest91097 is now known as benn === benn is now known as bennnnnn [21:16] sebsebseb: I upgraded a 9.04/ext4 to 9.10/ext4 without issues, but kept in that case grub1 [21:17] genii: apparantly 9.04 has a beta or something for Grub 2, when Ext4 is done? [21:17] Factran: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ChangeTTYResolution this will solve your issue. === root is now known as Guest56258 [21:17] bastid_raZor: great, thatsPipe [21:17] oupss [21:17] i meant great, bastid_raZor thanks !! [21:17] mtnbkr: any ideas? I got booted off for a minute and didn't realize it... [21:17] sebsebseb: Not sure, sorry [21:17] Factran: good luck. [21:18] hey so im trying to put ubuntu server edition 32bit on an olddddd xp comupter (yah i know stupid idea to start with) andddd i cannot get it to boot from the disk, i downloaded mit labs .iso file burned to to a cd on my macosx computer, now im trying to boot up to it from the old xp computer via an ide cd drive, and i keep getting an error : STRIKE f1 to retry boot..... anyone know y? [21:18] hello! [21:18] I use file-roller in KDE, but when I double click to open a file, it uses gnome file settings associations instead of KDE... any way to fix this?? [21:19] genii: but kept in that case grub1, you mean it will keep whatever Grub 9.04 has when Ext4 is done probably? which is fine as long as long as I can boot stuff from it [21:19] can anyone offer ideas as to why I can get audio working on my HP dv6 laptop? I managed to get this going by adding the line 'options snd-hda-intel model=hp-m4 enable_msi=1' to my '/etc/modprobe.d/sound' file when using OpenSUSE [21:19] cant* [21:19] ilowe: even that PPS seem to only have 2.2.8 for Hardy. :( [21:19] sebsebseb: It gave me the option which to use, for safety I kept the old working setup of grub1 [21:19] ilowe: PPA [21:20] how to make virtual 2 network cards in network manager and switch betwen them [21:20] g [21:20] join [21:20] \ [21:20] # [21:20] : [21:20] phill_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [21:21] genii: ok this sounds good :) and thanks Well i'll clean install this one in November that I been testing karmic on since alpha 4, and probably upgrade the other with 9.04 as well. [21:21] JuJuBee: I think you need to redefine the original problem/question We seem to have gone down a few roads and are right back at the beginning. :) Plus if you re ask others may be able to jump in. I may need to be running shortly [21:21] does ubuntu got support for Intel Turbo Memory? [21:22] hello [21:22] can anyone help me with a problem that i have [21:22] whats the problem [21:22] is it nose hair [21:22] i have installed ubuntu 9.04 on a usb [21:23] hy, I got question [21:23] !ask [21:23] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [21:23] damjan_: oh you already did [21:23] ok let me take it from the beggining [21:23] yes , I know, but I did not get answer [21:23] !patience | damjan_ [21:23] damjan_: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. [21:24] ok tnx [21:24] mtnbkr: weird, I just plugged my server (eth1) into my wifi router and set it to dhcp (eth1) and it got inet addr:208.67.217.132 but my laptop gets a 192.168.1.100 address very weird... [21:24] internal ip address range from the routers dhcp server [21:25] your router is acting as i should [21:25] it* [21:25] i'm using ssh in the terminal, how can i scoll up and see what is "above the screen" in terminal? [21:25] buttons840: shift-pageup [21:25] buttons840: shift-pgup [21:25] phill_: really? 2 computers plugged in to same rtr and get completely diff ip's? [21:25] bastid_raZor : It worked perfectly. But I had already a more serious problem : X doesn't launch everytime. After the boot, just after "Launching gdm", sometimes the pc has a blank (and/or black) screen. From this point, I'm unable to switch console. And ubuntu doesn't launch. Any ideas ? [21:26] don't think so... [21:26] what is the best way to copy and paste several lines from the terminal (using ssh) [21:26] JuJuBee: That is strange UNLESS your router has one or more ports bridged to the WAN port. [21:26] i installed ubuntu 9.04 live cd.iso file on a usb following a guide. i can run the usb in boot but what happends is that after ubuntu loads i only get a black screen cant see anything. if u have any soloutions please tell me [21:26] genii, the page up combo might be difficult to use with copy paste, any other options? [21:26] buttons840: screen [21:26] mtnbkr: WAN port is disconnected. THis is a test router [21:26] Factran: when this happens check ~/.xsession-errors for possible hints [21:27] Sounds to me like eth1 on server is not working properly [21:27] ok [21:27] buttons840: that is just one (minor) feature of screen... Once you begin to use screen you will not be able to manage servers without it. :) [21:27] hi, there is a software for drive a pll for change a fsb? [21:27] buttons840: If you're trying to copy a bunch of terminal output to for instance an online pastebin, use pastebinit [21:27] i installed ubuntu 9.04 live cd.iso file on a usb following a guide. i can run the usb in boot but what happends is that after ubuntu loads i only get a black screen cant see anything. if u have any soloutions please tell me [21:27] Is there a way to download a file in the 9.10 distribution for use in 9.04? In particular, I'm looking for gawk 3.1.7. Thanks [21:27] mtnbkr, actually, i am using screen, and i don't see that feature working [21:27] JuJuBee: then that is really bizzare. that thing should be handing out 192.168.1.0/24 addresses like the one your laptop got. [21:28] vap: uhmm probably not exactly [21:28] vap: well you shoudn't use Karmic packages in 9.04 [21:28] lildemon, do you have installed driver for your grapich card? [21:28] mtnbkr: I know that. How can I diagnose my eth1 in server [21:28] vap: there is however a backports repo, and ppa's [21:28] how can i do that on a usb? [21:28] Yay, I got in. [21:28] Ok, so here's a very weird question [21:28] I've come to the conclusion the box I have i can't run a raid on it... I'm attempting a RAID 1... [21:29] And IDE just won't cut it unless I spree for the RAID controller as the bus will cut the speed of the hdd's in half. [21:29] buttons840: you should have told us about screen, there the scrolling is done differently [21:29] sebsebseb: thanks man, i'll see what I can do [21:29] JuJuBee: set it back to the IP you wanted manually and plug in your laptop to the eth1 of the server with a crossover cable, set the laptop to a manual ip in the same subnet and see if they can ping each other. If yes, then there is something wrong with your router/switch dealie [21:29] Bagy: how can i install my graphics driver on a USB= [21:29] So, is there a VERY decent premade Raid box anyone would suggest? [21:29] if anyone has problems with b43 driver and broadcm wifi cards you need to change the firmware in the wifi card.type dmsg and you will see the errors.Not sure about the command. [21:29] How to get settings from /etc/network/interfaces/ to run [21:30] ciao [21:30] guntbert, ok, i'm using screen, how can i scroll and select many lines to copy/paste? (i prefer not to install a new app like pastebin it just to paste a few lines) [21:30] i installed ubuntu 9.04 live cd.iso file on a usb following a guide. i can run the usb in boot but what happends is that after ubuntu loads i only get a black screen cant see anything. if u have any soloutions please tell me [21:30] cya guys [21:30] mtnbkr: switch is fine as well as router, They both work in other instances... in my prev setup...Has to be eth1 on server... [21:30] buttons840: its called "copy mode" and reached with ctrl+a [21:30] guntbert, thanks [21:30] damjan_: Usually sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart or so [21:30] !list [21:30] This is not a file sharing channel (or network). If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » [21:30] buttons840: you are welcome :-) [21:30] vap: np [21:30] !list [21:30] i installed ubuntu 9.04 live cd.iso file on a usb following a guide. i can run the usb in boot but what happends is that after ubuntu loads i only get a black screen cant see anything. if u have any soloutions please tell me [21:31] evilreign: Drobo? Kind of expensive though [21:31] * benpro is going to sleep, bye :) [21:31] guntbert, how does it work, it still doesn't scrol [21:31] guntbert, let me check my screen version [21:32] buttons840: cursor keys up/dn [21:32] i need to tar up multiple folders. do i do that by doing: tar -czf $zipfile dir1,dir2,dir3? [21:32] morning [21:33] can anyone tell me how to install graphics driver on a USB running ubuntu linux [21:33] guntbert, i suppose i can also just pipe the app into a file? asterisk -r > txtfile.txt ? [21:33] j2daosh: lose the commas, and make sure $zipfile is assigned [21:34] lildemon, what is your graph card? [21:34] ATI or nvdia? [21:34] mtnbkr: change the commas to spaces then? [21:34] nvidia [21:34] j2daosh: Verify the zipfile (actually a compressed tarfile) afterwards by doing tar tvzf $zipfile .... [21:34] buttons840: yes, but what about screen? [21:34] but i also want it to work on any computer [21:34] greetings from croatia [21:34] i want to be able to run it from any computer [21:34] lildemon, go to hardware drivers [21:34] lildemon, you would have to reinstall the drivers on every computer you run on [21:34] guntbert, yes, with ctrl a esc i can move the cursor up, but i cannot select many lines at once [21:35] ok but how do i install my graphics driver [21:35] buttons840: use the mouse? [21:35] i cant see anything [21:35] lildemon, go to hardware drivers and see do you have a driver [21:35] guntbert, i mean i start to drag my mouse selection towards the top of the screen, and it just stops instead of scrolling, i can't mouse select anything outside the visable screen [21:35] ok [21:36] im booting from a usb driver [21:36] i mean === KB1JWQ is now known as Sorthum [21:36] USB [21:36] buttons840: I didn't need it - but have a look at man screen :) === Sorthum is now known as KB1JWQ [21:37] j2daosh: re: commas yes [21:37] lildemon: You cannot save the drivers from one computer and use them on another [21:37] what i want to do is [21:37] buttons840: use to start marking, and then move and then again [21:38] lildemon, try to ask google [21:38] ive just installed ubuntu linux 9.04 on a usb driver [21:38] i did try BaGy [21:38] omg [21:38] Hey. My router's mdadm software raid setup is only partially working now. (Worked for years, and **I** messed it up) Whenever I create the array on one harddrive using "missing", it doesn't start when I switch to the other harddrive. Oddly enough, the same RAID1 setup for swap space is working fine. I've been troubleshooting for days. When I reboot and add in root=/dev/md0 (the new array), it'll eventually drop me to ... [21:38] ... initramfs, and a viewing of dmesg shows mdadm thinks /dev/md0 has no devices. Yet mdadm --examine /dev/hda1 reports the superblock correctly, and says it's clean. But the kernel only auto-detects one raid device, and /proc/mdstat only shows one as well. [21:38] lildemon: I know what you want to do. You are trying to run Linux Live, but I am telling you that you cannot save the drivers from one computer and use them on another computer [21:38] !google | BaGy [21:38] BaGy: While Google is useful for helpers, many newer users don't have the google-fu yet. Please don't tell people to "google it" when they ask a question. [21:39] is it possible to mount iso9660 with the umask option, like with vfat, im getting a "bad option" error [21:39] im trying to get my ubuntu linux to work [21:39] lildemon: You're running Ubuntu Live, right? [21:39] yes [21:39] well no [21:40] im running linux through a USB but i cant right now cause i get a black scrren [21:40] screen* [21:40] if i'm trying to use 'ls -al | grep [Ff]ile ..would that include F and f in file? or is my argument wrong? [21:40] lildemon: Now, listen, because I am only going over this once. In a Linux Live configuration, you CANNOT save the drivers from one computer and use them on another === franck_ is now known as franck [21:40] skip the drivers [21:40] lildemon: you're not using the Karmic beta, are you? [21:40] no [21:41] bastid_raZor: use egrep [21:41] lildemon: I fail to see what the problem is. If you're not using a live setup, what exactly are you doing? [21:41] im using Ubuntu Linux 9.04 [21:41] lildemon, you have black screen on login? [21:41] yes [21:41] hi [21:41] cant see anything after ubuntu loads [21:42] how to save pages as like as we use quiet while firefox/iceweasel crashs [21:42] Billiard: thanks, grep worked also. apparently i didn't have the file i was searching for. [21:42] i cant see the login screen [21:43] thats the problem [21:43] i think [21:43] well since i cant see anything after ubuntu loads [21:43] lildemon, try to press Alt+F1 or start in recovery mode and try reconfigure xserver sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [21:43] since the last update, I am unable to ssh to another machine for an interactive ssh [21:43] where are entries for the system menu stored? wine put a bunch of stuff in there a long time ago and I want to get rid of it. [21:43] anyonen else experiencing ssh problems? [21:43] ok thx ill try that [21:43] lildemon: I doubt it is the display drivers. You should at least see something even with no drivers installed [21:44] bash just says "killed" when I try to ssh to other machines. [21:45] hello, what would be the smallest install disc download for a graphical ubuntu? [21:46] guntbert, sorry to bother you again, but i can select the lines i need, but then i right click on the terminal and the copy option is greyed out, how do i get it to my clipboard? [21:46] !minimal | anne_b [21:46] anne_b: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [21:46] anne_b, livecd is about 500 something mb [21:46] anne_b: I would not use a disk. If you want to use the GUI, I would get a USB flash drive at least 8GB in size [21:47] what do i need to put in my autostart.sh for my update manager? [21:47] I need help - when I use nslookup for *any* hostname that does not exist, I always get a "valid" response which confuses my system [21:47] i have lxde built from a ubuntu mini .iso [21:49] would i put update-manager or update-notifier? [21:51] any one experiencing flash plugin glitches with the newest beta? [21:51] What's the deal with Wubi? So you just put the alternate iso with the wubi.exe bada bing bada boom?

I am asking where I can find a complete list of commands and their functions [21:57] how can I register my host name on the DNS running on my router? [21:58] is it possible in bash to pipe output to two things at the same time? [21:58] Inspiron? 1100? Wubi? [21:58] mnaines1: "complete", nowhere.

[22:02] L1nUX1z3R: Try ifconfig [22:02] Nattgew: you can use grep itself [22:02] that just gives me the dhcp IP...

[22:03] hello. a quick question, has anyone ever tried updating their laptop's BIOS from ubuntu? [22:03] vox: thanks... I never thought of that for some reason [22:03] or is it a really bad idea to try and use Wine for that? [22:05] Nattgew: grep is pretty powerful once you learn how to drive it [22:05] vox: indeed it is... just like most of linux [22:05] L1nUX1z3R: try links http://whatismyip.org [22:05] Nattgew: I found a list of Bash commands...Hopefully I can learn those well enough to use Linux on CLI [22:05] L1nUX1z3R: curl -s -AMozilla www.ip-adress.com|grep /h [22:06] Does X not read the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file when it starts?

[22:37] ae86-drifter_ actually i ran the command apt-get install gnome-lokki [22:37] and then, i got the error link [22:37] elops: at least 8GB [22:38] or am I going to get screwed trying to run updates? [22:38] my kiosk install is only 2.6gb [22:38] dont use apt get, just google it, download it and run the deb package [22:38] but I don't have xbmc or anything on there [22:38] elops: Hmm. I currently have an 8.04 install using about 4.1G, but it doesn't allow for much in the way of data files or big programs... [22:38] elops: depends on what your going to install [22:38] and that's on an 80gb drive [22:38] obviously the repository has a dead link [22:38] these boxes have a CF slot on the motherboard, and I have a 4gb CF card I could try it with [22:38] ae86-drifter: do you understand how the error link came about now? i didnt type it myself, it was the result i got after i typed in the cmd apt-get intall gnome-lokki [22:38] elops: and also if your going to have resoanblly big data files or not in home [22:38] ae86-drfier: exactly, how do i fix it? [22:38] joeyeye_: I guess the only other reason could be if you setup your domain name to something that is on the internet then it might pick up a host at SOSO.domain.com and soso.local something like that ... do you remember setting up a domain that can be resolved on the internet? [22:39] helpdesk: i told you how to [22:39] elops: ,but a clean install of Ubuntu Desktop is about 1GB === NoCode_ is now known as NoCode [22:39] helpdesk: dont use apt get to install, just google it, download it and run the deb package [22:39] hello, I got a laptop "acer aspire" with 4GB of ram, but my system see's only 3Gb any clues/ideas? [22:40] !info g nome-lokki [22:40] 'nome-lokki' is not a valid distribution: dapper, dapper-backports, hardy, hardy-backports, intrepid, intrepid-backports, jaunty, jaunty-backports, karmic, karmic-backports, kubuntu-backports, kubuntu-experimental, kubuntu-updates, medibuntu, partner [22:40] !info gnome-lokki [22:40] ae86-drifter: could i use yum? or someother tools? [22:40] mikinanuq: no, but I think I'd like to try out other DNS servers on the internet. Perhaps my ISP's DNS servers are deliberately "trying to help me" by pointing me to one of their servers. [22:40] vieq: You need to use either the 64 bit version of Ubuntu or the server kernel [22:40] Package gnome-lokki does not exist in jaunty [22:40] Anybody using Amarok in 9.04? [22:40] helpdesk: NO [22:40] helpdesk: get stuff from the repo if it's in there [22:40] Jordan_U: tried too but for some odd reason it refused to install [22:41] sebsebseb: how do i get the stuffs from the repo? [22:41] sebsebseb: his reposityory has a dead link [22:41] vieq: Is it a 64 bit CPU? [22:41] helpdesk: what are you trying to install anyway? [22:41] the 32-bit got installed like a sharm [22:41] helpdesk: gnome-lokki ??? what's that [22:41] ae86-drifter: so, i have to google gnome-lokki ? [22:41] Jordan_U: nope an i686 dual-core [22:41] joeyeye_: yeah the way I did it was to setup OpenDNS on my router manually, if you have OpenDNS locally on your computer and the ISP DNS servers on your Router they may be looking at different things [22:41] helpdesk: you can also change the mirror for your repos, system > adminisratation > software sources [22:41] let me grap the link of the model I have [22:41] helpdesk: yes download it and run the deb package [22:41] sebsebseb: itz a way fo getting a firefox on ubuntu [22:42] helpdesk: Firefox comes by default on Ubuntu [22:42] ae86-drifter: any idea on where best to get this [22:42] Where can I find educational programs for Ubuntu? For instance, I would like to find flash cards for elementary math for my kid. Do programs like this exist anywhere? [22:42] RS-232: Yes but I compiled a former version of Amarok, the one shipped with 9.04 was troublesome. [22:42] sebsebseb: well, it all started when i tried to filter out ssh from my firewall. [22:42] steven_: yes there are quite a lot of good educational softwares for Linux [22:42] helpdesk: look in your applications menu === Swish[\] is now known as Swish [22:42] sebsebseb: and sorry i mean firewall [22:43] steven_: Well, Edubuntu is bundled with a load of these applications - look at Add/Remove Software... from Applications. [22:43] steven_: Gcompris Educational Suite, Child's Play, Tuxmath, Tuxpaint, etc [22:43] can I just install a clean install, and then copy another install over the top of it? [22:43] hey folks, ubuntu supports system wide encrytion using alt-install method when doing a fresh install, any way to covert a already installed system to be fully encrypted? [22:43] Thanks guys. I'll try some of those out [22:43] ae86-drifter: ok i will try it out and let u know how it went. will u be online tomorrow? [22:43] sure [22:43] steven_: or look at the educational stuff in Synaptic [22:43] mikinanuq: hmmm... I am already using the OpenDNS servers it would appear [22:44] ae86-drifter: ok then, thanks. i let u know if i find u online tomorrow. thanks alot also sebsebseb. [22:44] can I just install a clean install, and then copy another install over the top of it? [22:44] steven_: plus this gives you an idea about what is available http://www.edubuntu.org [22:44] Jordan_U: http://tinyurl.com/yg47ety [22:44] vieq: Did it come with 4 GIG of RAM? It would be interesting if it did considering AFAIK windows can't access 4 gig of ram with it's 32 bit version, though linux can :) [22:44] elops: err.. why? [22:44] elops: it wouldnt be a clean install if you install over the top of something [22:44] Jordan_U: windows can aswell [22:44] Jordan_U: it came with Vista 64-bit pre installed [22:45] vieq: I thought you said it was a 32 bit processor? [22:45] vieq: If it came with Vista 64 installed, then its a 64-bit computer [22:45] which I got me tottaly confused cause both Fedora or Ubuntu 64 refused to install [22:45] joeyeye_: arg, you may need to put a sniffer or sometihng to analyze the packets and figure it out. It's strange, the way around it is to put soso and SOSO in your hosts file and bypass the DNS but it would be nice to know why it's doing it. [22:45] can I just install a clean install, and then copy another install over the top of it? [22:45] Thanks alot guys. Really appreciate this. [22:45] Jordan_U: What's the command to determine the operating system version? [22:46] I was terrified that I was going to have to install Windows [22:46] mnaines1: lsb_release -a [22:46] vieq: Pastebin the output of uname -a [22:46] vieq, what type of processor is it? [22:46] steven_: there's a bunch of online stuff too, flash based [22:46] question: whats the command to see how much memory my machine reckognizes [22:46] steven_: np and loads of good educational stuff as I already said [22:46] grturner: * Intel® Pentium® dual-core mobile processor with up to 1 MB L2 Cache, supporting Intel® 64 architecture [22:46] O.o [22:47] vieq: You can run a 64-bit OS on that [22:47] can I just install a clean install, and then copy another install over the top of it? [22:47] should run 64bit [22:47] mnaines1: can not do that right now I am on a winblows machine, I was near a net cafe so I droped by to ask [22:47] vieq: What problem did you have installing 64 bit Ubuntu? [22:47] steven_: for running Windows apps by the way, Wine, commercial verisons of it that are sold, or a Windows virtual machine [22:47] elops: that would probably cause a lot of problems [22:47] Jordan_U: well I never got pass the inital installing fhase [22:47] it just stops [22:47] Why? [22:47] grturner: I usually recommend 64-bit operating systems if it is possible to run them [22:48] I thought my cd's were corrupted! [22:48] i like 64bit os'es [22:48] mnaines1: same here at least I get the best performance [22:48] vieq: Stops where? Does the LiveCD boot to a desktop? [22:48] Jordan_U: nope it do not [22:48] after the welcome screen nothing happens [22:48] vieq: Did it give any error message? [22:48] not at all [22:49] elops: I knew the 'why' was coming... there is a thing called dependencies, programs depend on other programs to all be synched and to work properly. I'm not saying that it can't be done but you have to know your stuff because when stuff starts breaking you'll have some troubleshooting to do. [22:49] Jordan_U: perhaps there is something not right with my burned cd's, I do not know [22:49] hey, i use aspell for correcting my latex files. is there any other tool for correcting spelling mistakes, since the command line version of aspel doesnt seem to recognize the äöü character when i do a replace. apart from the the german dictionary is really small. any suggestions? [22:50] I checked every thing before I started to ask === Swish[\] is now known as Swish [22:50] vieq: Did you try the self test of the CD at boot? [22:50] elops: if it's just for fun/testing I'd say go for it. what's the worst that can happen right? [22:50] Jordan_U: nope, I did not [22:50] I just checked the md5/sha hash [22:50] kora-chan: Abiword has a spelling and grammer checker in more recant versions, and it can probably do Germen as well [22:50] vieq: Of the CD or just the iso file? [22:51] Hi! Anyone with Ubuntu on an Aspire One that can tell me if there's anyway to make the wifi recpetion any better? [22:51] Jordan_U: the Isos [22:51] kora-chan: Open Office is only a spell check, and last time I tried it, not as good as Abiword for English, or something like that [22:51] sebsebseb: i cant use abiword for latex source [22:51] kora-chan: oh yeah latex [22:51] kora-chan: Might ask in #ubuntu-de [22:51] I will give it more testing tonight and see what happens [22:51] kora-chan: I am not sure what latex is, I think I have heard of it before [22:51] vieq: Check the CD [22:51] Jordan_U: well do [22:52] thanks mates [22:52] Jordan_U: do you know alternatives for english, since i write most of my papers in english? [22:52] Fome: as a general rule, you may want to change the channel that your router funcions on. Most routers come default on chan 6, while 11 and 3 are perfectly available and usually unused. change the channel [22:52] Jordan_U: do I need to pay attention to anything else? [22:52] sebsebseb: latex is a typesetting system which is mostly used for mathematical papers and stuff since formula rendering is pretty good [22:53] kora-chan: not entirely sure what that means, but ok [22:53] mikinanuq: well, the problem isn't at home but at other places [22:53] latex is not a "what you see is what you get" (wysiwyg). [22:53] aright, be back when I have something usefule [22:53] vieq: Make sure you are using the latest version of Ubuntu ( 9.04 ) or the latest long term support release ( 8.04 ) [22:53] aright then [22:54] thanks man [22:54] it's like html, only for words and rendering. i'm terrible with it :D [22:54] jyoshu: oh [22:54] Fome: do you have dualboot on it? does it perform poorly in windows and ubuntu? I'm thinking that this is a hardware problem and not a software one. [22:54] does someone know if the dictionaries you can download from the aspell page are the same that are shipped with ubuntu? [22:55] is there a way to make a link inside a text file so when i cat it, it can be redirected ?? [22:55] mikinanuq: I don't dualboot so I can't check. It seems that other people have the same problem in ubuntu though. And I've also tried Fedore 11 wich makes the wifi function slightly better [22:55] hey folks, ubuntu supports system wide encrytion using alt-install method when doing a fresh install, any way to covert a already installed system to be fully encrypted? [22:56] Python-2.4.6rc1 = successful bfg build. [22:56] can someone please tell me how to install 3d acceleration? [22:56] vvpalin: No, but what are you trying to accomplish? [22:56] hola buenas [22:56] a_: Have you tried System > Administration > Hardware Drivers? [22:56] a_, what is your graphic card ? [22:57] Jordan_U, exactly what i said, id like to be able to cat a file, have a link inside it and then cat the file its linked to === sandeep is now known as Guest31860 [22:57] !es | ala-di-no [22:57] ala-di-no: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés.

[23:32] sdlwof: the alternate CD has encryption [23:32] system404: Even smart people fall for social engineering schemes. I have a lot of enemies because people say it is easy for me to convince even people as smart as I am [23:32] sdlwof: as far as I know you would have to clean install for it [23:32] does Ubuntu's dhcp client send .local as the DNS domain or something?

Even a smart person like myself with a 120 IQ falls victim to reverse psychology [23:35] !version | a_ [23:35] a_: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy » [23:35] I updated to 9.10 should I remove my home directory before I reboot?

[23:43] a_: Now in a terminal run "sudo apt-key adv --keyserver pool.sks-keyservers.net --recv-keys AF1CDFA9" [23:44] captainkirk: you are going to have to install 64bit server. There isn't an upgrade process to do what you want. [23:44] histo -- whatever is built into the Gateway laptop. How do I determine that? [23:44] legend2440: some things dont seen to work.. [23:44] btice: you can type in lspci in a terminal to get a list of devices [23:44] ok, so maybe this is solution then. just create new vm, and start again [23:44] captainkirk: indeed [23:44] btice: it should be called VGA adapter or something, and will list the make/chipset [23:44] *sigh* more work.... [23:45] captainkirk: if it's on a vm, you can create a new virtual drive and install the new system on that. so you may copy settings and files over from the old drive [23:45] btice, lshw -C video === Guest19381 is now known as Vinconzo [23:45] a_: Did that command output ( among other things ) a line like 'gpg: key AF1CDFA9: public key "Launchpad PPA for Ubuntu-X" imported' ?

[23:53] Laque -- Yes, I had the disc check itself and it said it was OK. [23:53] Morgansl: yes different hardware has different settings. i think most important steps involve making sure Mic is unmuted and the word Capture is seen under word Mic. but your audio card may need some specific tweaking [23:53] interesting [23:53] Morgansl: what audio card you have? [23:54] btice: I miss understood your original problem. That really wierd that only certain characters are getting corrupted. [23:54] btice: perhaps someone else will know how to fix it.
