[00:00] lstarnes: nossralsuva: Thanks [00:00] Hey gang [00:00] Got a ? [00:00] m0r0n: no problem [00:00] In windows I always have to enable disk caching [00:00] Do I have to do the same in Linux? [00:00] nossralsuva: Currently, sudo apt-get install samba is running, i will run sudo apt-get install system-samba-config as soon as it finishes [00:00] Is there a place to fiddle with this kind of thing in Ubuntu? [00:01] greensimian, no - the linux kernel looks after that for you. swap partitions and swap in general should NOT be used unless necessary! linux can do a lot in memory :) [00:01] cody: be sure to run $sudo testparm to make sure you setup your parameters correctly [00:02] okay, so after i install the samba, and set it up, run sudo testparm? [00:02] cody: sudo apt-get install system-config-samba = correction [00:02] ZykoticK9: People keep teling me that but my system runs much better with a 10gb Swap Part as opposed to 4gb of RAM [00:02] cody: exactly, that will make sure that you have configured your parameters correctly [00:02] nossralsuva: E: Couldn't find package system-samba-config [00:02] and okaty [00:02] okay* [00:02] greensimian, although cache is sorta different, but not disk cache so much - it's also nice not to have to defrag - that took me some getting use too... [00:03] cody: ill brb have to go sorry [00:03] does anybody know how to register my nickname i cant figure this shit out [00:03] ae86-drifter: Okay, thatsfine [00:03] how can i activate evolution mail for gmail? [00:03] ZykoticK9: It took me some getting used to Linux not throwing everything into swap even though I have 4GB of RAM [00:03] ZykoticK9: still looking... thanks for patience [00:03] ZykoticK9: Yeah, I was looking for some defrag info too....it's automagical [00:03] cody: if you see the output of "OK" then you have setup your samba configuration correctly, if not it will tell you which lines in your config files that you've made a mistake on [00:03] @Mehedi: It's described on google. [00:03] nossralsuva: Ill use synaptic [00:03] i accidentally set chmod 7676 by mistake and now the directory displayes drwsrwsrw- , how can i set the mode to 776? and get rid of the "s" thats there? [00:03] Just google "Evolutionmail gmail" [00:03] cody: yes you can use synaptic, actually that would be much easier [00:04] I installed a ubuntu server into vmware. Everytime I power if up, I have to run sudo dhclient to make it get ip to work with my net. How to automatize it? [00:04] libsamba-hostconfig0 is the package? [00:04] afeijo, ask the same question in #ubuntu-server [00:04] thanks [00:04] dumount: set your chmod 0776 instead [00:04] how can i see my routers info [00:04] nossralsuva: It is actually system-config-samba ;) [00:05] chmod 0776 * [00:05] dumont: you've activated a 'sticky bit' [00:05] drwsrwsrw- [00:05] :S [00:05] whats a sticky bit and how do i deactivate it? [00:05] cody: yes, thank you, i had stated that correction later a few lines up [00:06] nossralsuva: Oh, i did not see that lol [00:06] cody: when i realized that I made the typo [00:06] wow - printing is SO much better than 2 yrs ago :P [00:06] anyway to quickly make a window fill half the screen (or anything similar)? [00:06] cody: lols [00:06] How do you search an ntfs drive again? [00:06] ZykoticK9: ok, it looks like all the settings are being read from the config file near the top of the "terminator -d" output. However, shortly after that there is a section with "Returning 'keybindings':" and lists the keybinding set in the config as set to the default. hmmm [00:06] It's grep | something right? [00:07] PhantomLink: well you could do a grep -nHR "text you want to search for" /path_to_drive [00:07] cheezey: you can go to >system>preferences>Windows and what I do is the 'roll up' feature after I have made the window (set manually) to half the screen size (vertically or horizontally) [00:07] gasmask, beyond me man... good luck! [00:07] whats a sticky bit and how do i deactivate it? setting chmod 0776 * did not change anything, the directories are still drwsrwsrw- [00:07] nossralsuva: The vista computer reports: Access denied, unable to connect [00:07] PhantomLink: might take a while though [00:08] ZykoticK9: ok, thanks for you help though. best of luck :) [00:08] ZykoticK9: Did you get my IM? [00:08] hi, I'm running ubuntu through a usb stick on a laptop & it's working great, inly thing is that it seems to lose any installs or saves on the desktop when I restart. Any way to save things when running it this way? [00:08] can someone help me with lib gtk???? [00:08] cheezey: or you can just size your window to half the screen's size and then use the maximize button to take it full or to the present size state [00:08] hello, i need help with my vga. basically all i want is to be able to watch my anime on the tv screen using linux [00:09] nossralsuva: The vista computer reports: "Access denied, unable to connect [00:09] cody" here is an e.g., for every new line you will see a * [00:09] nossralsuva: Okay [00:09] mnaines, sorry man I don't open ANY IMs - only in the channel for me... [00:09] !ping [00:09] pong! [00:09] ZykoticK9: Shame...The stuff I was going to talk to you about is ot for this room [00:10] mnaines, message me in #ubuntu-offtopic [00:10] Can anyone tell me why i must use sudo su to echo -n 95 > /proc/acpi/video/GFX0/DD03/brightness [00:10] sudo does not work nor, sudo -s [00:10] Ive already installed libgtk but whenever I try to install an application it says I need it.... but its already installed... when I tried to reinstall it it says that its already installed [00:10] BoxMagnet: because > gets processed by the shell, which doesn't have any root permissions. [00:10] cody: [cody] * comment = cody's linux share * path = /home/cody * valid users = cody * admin users = cody * writable = yes * read only = no * guest ok = no [00:10] LjL, can you instruct? [00:10] BoxMagnet, your sending a setting to proc - basically direct HW access! this is root's domain. [00:11] BoxMagnet: i what? [00:11] can someone please help me????? [00:11] i am having trouble giving video signals to my tv. i have the vga cables. but cant get any signals to the tv [00:11] BoxMagnet: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo#Downsides of using sudo [00:11] cody: the spacing is very important, the syntax is like this for example intention = output [00:12] So... Grub 2 (1.97 beta3) has lost it... If I try to boot linux it says I must load the kernel, and if I try to boot windows, it says out of memory. i can't find any results for the errors on google, which shocked me. so I tried reinstalling from the disk and it didn't work. If I install grub (legacy) from an old 8.04 disk, will it see karmic? [00:12] BoxMagnet, what are you trying to do!?!? strange to be sending "-n 95" to a video card?!?! [00:12] whats a sticky bit and how do i deactivate it? setting chmod 0776 * did not change anything, the directories are still drwsrwsrw- [00:12] ZykoticK9, lol, its screen brightness [00:12] BoxMagnet: you can use, instead, either « sudo sh -c "command > /proc/whatever" », or you can use « sudo command | tee /proc/whatever » to circumvent that [00:12] nossralsuva: In the samba system config, do i need to add a share dedicated to MFC210C Printer? one is for /var/lib/samba/printers [00:12] and ok [00:12] ZykoticK9: typing "echo -n 95" doesn't send "-n 95". the "-n" is an option that tells "echo" to not append a newline. [00:12] it sends "95". [00:13] BoxMagnet, but "-n 95" are you SURE that's the command! [00:13] ZykoticK9, it works [00:13] lol! [00:13] cody: if you have a printer on the system it will automatically share the printers to the network [00:13] BoxMagnet: it would be echo command | sudo tee /proc/wherever [00:14] nossralsuva: Okay, i am still there. I have it set to allow access to anybody (not just cody and noone) [00:14] LjL, hummm thanks man. that almost seems like BoxMagnet might be clearing a setting then??? [00:14] pardon me, who here is familiar with vga outputs? [00:14] echo -n 95 | sudo /proc/acpi/video/GFX0/DD03/brightness [00:14] ? [00:14] ZykoticK9: no, he's sending "95" to his brightness. makes perfect sense to me [00:14] the range might be 0 to 255, or 0 to 100, i don't know [00:14] how do i use grep to search for all files of a particular type on an ntfs drive? [00:14] BoxMagnet: add tee after sudo [00:15] BoxMagnet: sudo tee [00:15] k [00:15] whats a sticky bit and how do i deactivate it? setting chmod 0776 * did not change anything, the directories are still drwsrwsrw- [00:15] thanks everyone [00:15] PhantomLink: what do you mean by "type"? format? [00:15] cody: if you want to allow all, the example that i gave you before: just change guest ok = yes and it will automatically allow any computer to connect to it as a guest [00:15] yeah [00:15] like all files of type pdf [00:15] cody: the guest account in linux is called "nobody" [00:16] PhantomLink: that's not really grep's realm [00:16] help, i can't remove the sticky bit! [00:16] nossralsuva: Okay, but on vista, do i have to do anything to connect to it? I have chosen the printer, but it says "access denied, unable to connect" [00:16] PhantomLink: besides, can't you use the extension (e.g. "*.pdf")? that'd be *much* faster than actually determining the file's type. [00:17] on the vista in the address bar \\computerIP\\usersharefolder the user share folder is the one on the linux box [00:17] Anyone have Dr. Java installed? [00:17] i lost my onboard sound after installing a pcHDTV card... i think they both use the cx88 driver or something along those lines? can anyone help me track this down? [00:17] it shows that it's loaded : snd_pcm 83076 3 snd_hda_intel,cx88_alsa,snd_pcm_oss [00:18] after dist upgrade i worry about Quanta's print preview which opens gimp instead of a lightweight gtk-print or kprinter dialog :-( [00:18] does anyone have an idea how to fix this? [00:18] I'm trying to get samba working on my box but I can't even ping my box from a windows machine. it says Destination host unreachable. Any help? [00:18] help, i can't remove the sticky bit! i set it accidentally, but now when i do "chmod 0776 file" it does not seem to remove! [00:19] nossralsuva: Okay, where do i find the share folder? [00:19] anyone know what the best version of linux us for a noob? [00:19] corey: Mint [00:19] can u send me a link so i can mirror it? [00:19] whr is xorg conf? [00:19] dumont: try chmod -t instead, and try with sudo [00:19] cody: run sudo smbpasswd -a username this adds a password to the username that you are sharing [00:19] i'm logged in as root [00:19] RainyLithuanian: /etc/X11/xorg.conf [00:19] corey: http://www.linuxmint.com/ [00:19] thanks [00:20] LjL, anyway I can get sudo to not ask a password so I can make that in to a script? [00:20] whats -t operand? [00:20] corey: have you tried asking in #ubuntu-offtopic ? this channel is about *Ubuntu* support [00:20] thanks [00:20] dumont: use sudo instead to do that, no need to be running as root [00:20] nossralsuva: What if i already have a pass on my username (my username is cody) [00:20] cody: smbpasswd -a cody [00:20] m0r0n: that seems like a gratuitous suggestion, i could give any other. (and Mint isn't supported here, for the record) [00:21] dumont, try "sudo chmod a-s FILENAMES" :) [00:21] cody: it will ask you to make a new password, this password is for the share folder that you made in the samba config file [00:21] BoxMagnet: that would be quite dangerous. are you intending to do that every time you start your computer? [00:21] nossralsuva: Added it [00:21] Anyone know a similar Dr. Java program that is easy to code in for a beginner programmer (School). I tried Eclipse and that didn't work out too well. [00:21] LjL, um, no ... on command for several different settings. [00:21] ZykoticK9: uhm, sticky bit is "t", "s" is for setuid afair [00:22] BoxMagnet: not making it ask for a password is going to be tricky. [00:22] ok a-s wokred, thank YOU!!!! [00:22] LjL, err, im sorry. the real reason this is all going on is because I have absolutelty no idea how to make my laptop function keys work [00:22] LjL: Link him something then, I haven't used it personally, but I hear it's easy to use. I'm still fairly new to the Linux world [00:22] BoxMagnet: which laptop is that? there are some packages for that in the repos [00:22] LjL, Hp Pavillion dv6000 [00:23] m0r0n: no, i won't "link him something". that's not what this channel is for, and it would also be meaningless. [00:23] i have made my volume keys etc work.. [00:23] !best | m0r0n [00:23] m0r0n: 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. [00:23] I cannot believe I being such and idiot solved pivoting problem editing xorg.conf in first attempt:D [00:23] i hjate the robot... [00:24] there is a bug with eee 1000 which messes up the resolution boundaries in xorg and thus spawns a lot of bugs with external monitors:( [00:24] cody: restart the samba server by typing 'sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart and then try to input the \\computerip\sharefolder into the vista's address bar [00:24] BoxMagnet: uhm no i can't find anything (doesn't mean there isn't, just isn't exceptionally easy to find) [00:24] nossralsuva: Okay, i will run that [00:25] whats the main difference between ubuntu kubuntu and xubuntu [00:25] hello, any1 can help me to install java? here he error http://pastebin.com/m3afbae34 [00:25] corey: kubuntu uses kde [00:26] LjL, hmm ok. bright up is fn+f8 down is f7 so. how would I want to go about making that + fn work? [00:26] ya i nebver could figure out hoew to use that 3-d crap in kubuntu [00:26] corey, works fine for me [00:26] nossralsuva: I restarted it, and typed "\\(my IP) and got the error: \\(my ip) is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource... The account is not authorized to log in from this server" === Harry is now known as Guest32848 [00:26] idk how to make it work [00:27] got compiz installed? [00:27] no [00:27] that could be your problem [00:27] oh [00:27] after i instal;l it [00:27] how do i use it? [00:27] corey: kubuntu= ubuntu w/ default KDE interface/windowind xubuntu= ubuntu w/ xfce interface [00:27] BoxMagnet: what does compiz have to do with samba? [00:27] cody: how did you go? [00:27] vox, he is talking about 3d? [00:27] BoxMagnet, i don't know, its tricky :| [00:28] you are thinking of the other one [00:28] ae86-drifter: Still having trouble. I got vista to see it, but it gives me the error: "Access denied, unable to connect" [00:29] cody, check the permissions? [00:29] I can ping my Windows machine from Ubuntu, but I can't ping my Ubuntu machine from Windows. Can anyone help? [00:29] i wanan go back to windows... at least there i know how to use it! [00:29] BoxMagnet: The permissions are:Allow Access to everyone. [00:29] corey u shud try it out [00:30] try what out [00:30] ? [00:30] man it makes a better [00:30] cody, what about the folder permissions in ubuntu.. [00:30] Let me check [00:30] BoxMagnet: Where do i find the folder? [00:30] cody: goto System>administration>Printing right click on the printer, properties, and check the user access settings, also goto System>administration>Samba Config, and check the permissions there, then restart the samba server === NickName is now known as Jihui [00:31] cody, i did not know you were talking about a printer sorry... [00:32] do you have the samba config GUI? [00:32] ae86-drifter: System>Administration>Printing is: Access Control - Allow printing for everyone. System>Administration>Samba is: Allow access to everybody. Restarting it now [00:32] cody: [cody] browsable = yes read only = no path = /home/cody guest ok = yes [00:33] Hi - using jaunty, anyone know how I can stop network-manager asking for my keyring password every time I boot? [00:33] nossralsuva: Command again? [00:34] cody: that was a line that you could put in your samba configuration file [00:34] nossralsuva: I dont know where to locate the conf file [00:34] lol [00:34] cody: /etc/samba/smb.conf [00:35] cody: that file controls the entire operation of samba [00:35] chun1 /home/chun1/.gnome2/keyrings [00:35] nossralsuva: Okay, where do i put in the line? [00:35] cody: at the very last line of the entire file [00:36] How do I run a program executed through shell in the background? [00:36] nossralsuva: Okay, all on one line? [00:36] Loafers: add & after its command line [00:36] Loafers: you could use programname & disown [00:36] LjL, It's already running. [00:36] pradeep: got a login.keyring [00:36] yea [00:37] cody: no each section is a line, each new share ( representing a share folder) starts off with [sharename] [00:37] LjL, Theres no way to get prompt when program is already running? [00:37] Is there an applet to show free disk space? [00:37] Does anyone know how to change the terminal bell from the internal speaker (pcspkr) to something else, like a sound file ? [00:37] Loafers: yes. [00:37] Loafers: hit ctrl+z [00:37] cody: then every line will have input = output an example is guest ok = yes [00:38] Loafers: then the program will "freeze", and you'll get a prompt again. then you can type "bg " to get it running again, but this time in the background. [00:38] starcannon, did you fix your Savage issue? Took me a while to download - but it's 64bit versions installed perfectly for me once i chmod +x the file. [00:38] LjL, ah awesome :) [00:38] nossralsuva: so like this: http://pastebin.ca/1623009 [00:38] Loafers: you can also use the "jobs" and the "fg" and "bg" commands [00:39] is there something like rev that works for binary input [00:39] Loafers: Jobs will show you what is running in the shell. [00:39] gasmask, awesome thanks! [00:39] cody: yes, exactly [00:39] nossralsuva: Restarted its server now [00:40] nossralsuva: http://pastebin.ca/1623012 good testparm? [00:40] cody: just follow that file's pattern from the link and replace their share's with yours [00:41] Does anyone know if this chat is logged? [00:41] !irclogs [00:41] Official channel logs can be found at http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ - For LoCo channels, http://logs.ubuntu-eu.org/freenode/ [00:41] u should be able to use the gui to edit the samba config [00:41] The ubottu knows all [00:41] the link i sent you? (first link) nossralsuva [00:41] cody: I do concur with ae86-drifter for a first timer [00:42] hello... i dual boot vista and ubuntu.. i want to move the ubuntu partition... but i want to move it to the LEFT - to see what i mean hit this URL: http://i35.tinypic.com/2zny91c.jpg - anyone got any ideas? please? [00:42] cody: the link with the ca. paste bin that you just posted [00:42] nossralsuva: What do you mean concur with ae86-drifter? And okay, how do i edit it this time? [00:43] yeah, even though i work for a printer company doing linux tech suppiort? [00:43] which is brother [00:43] lol [00:43] nvm it works :p [00:43] stylezed: you must resize the extended partition [00:43] stylezed: moving partitions around can be a dangerous risk.. use a LiveCD with gparted or a gparted CD [00:43] cody: he was telling you to use the system-config-samba instead to edit the samba file without doing it the hard technical way [00:43] pwned [00:44] anyone have any tips for getting opengl to work on a nvidia geforce 5200? [00:44] its much easier to use GUIs for most people [00:44] im in the liveCd right now.. and im trying to resize the extended partition.. but it wont let me resize it LEFT.. [00:44] nossralsuva: I tried doing graphical but it wasnt workin :( [00:44] especially most people in this room [00:44] stylezed: can you move it [00:44] its odd... i want to move the beginning of the extended partition LEFT into the unused space [00:44] no it wont let me move it [00:45] cody: so is it working now? [00:45] its a pain in the ass. [00:45] stylezed: is it mounted right now? [00:45] nossralsuva: No [00:45] :( [00:45] no its not mounted [00:45] im running from the live cd at the moment... i ran gparted as su [00:45] still wouldnt let me move it left into the unused space [00:46] aah shit [00:46] im an idiot [00:46] stylezed: it looks like it could be mounted, its showing a mount point [00:46] i was selecting the logical partition not the extended [00:46] duh [00:47] thanks Billiard - sometimes all it takes is for someone else to look to make your brain work [00:47] lol [00:47] i feel like an idiot now... cuz im not a newbie.. [00:47] thanks tho. [00:48] ae86-drifter and nossralsuva: I am using an online tutorial :p [00:48] i'm probably going to have to re-setup grub after this aren't I? [00:49] open the samba gui, click preferences and goto user settings and just add the name of the windows vista user [00:49] *sigh* wish i'd set up the partitions correctly in the first place.. i was rushing.. it's a new laptop [00:51] i'm trying to change the ownership of an external drive. any takers? [00:52] chown [00:52] a_: sudo chown username:usergroup /dev/harddrivedesignation [00:53] mnaines, you should change the filesystem permission NOT the devices' permission! like "sudo chmod user:group /mount/disk" [00:53] a_, see above! [00:54] I don't even think you *can* change device permissions after they exist. [00:54] why does my internet connection get disconnected every few minutes? [00:54] i dont think you can change a device permission [00:54] please answer quick :/ [00:54] what tonyyarusso said [00:54] heh [00:54] Yes, you can, tonyyarusso...You can change the permissions of an entire drive [00:54] boscop: i dont know, you need to provide more detail [00:55] mnaines: learn something new every day. [00:55] ae86-drifter: in the system monitor I then see that no traffic happens [00:55] tonyyarusso: For example, if you have one internal drive and one external drive and want to change permissions for the external drive, you type sudo chown username:usergroup /dev/sdb [00:55] ae86-drifter: and I try to reconnect with sudo pon dsl-provider [00:55] mnaines: I know the command, I just don't know if it actually works. [00:55] boscop: you need to explain what type of connection you have [00:56] but it doesn't work often [00:56] been trying to get opengl working with my nvidia geforce fx 5200 and although /var/log/Xorg.0.log is showing no problems, gdm seems to lock up at a blank screen [00:56] ae86-drifter: dsl [00:56] can anybody tell me how to fix grub with live cd? [00:56] tonyyarusso: The /dev/sdb path does work, but it changes for the entire drive, not just the file system [00:56] boscop: wired or wireless [00:56] ae86-drifter: wired [00:56] cody: okay [00:56] has anyone had any luck installing Jahshaka on their system? [00:56] mnaines, /dev/sdb is a DRIVE not even a partition - ontop of partition are the filesystem that these changes reside on [00:56] hi guys i keep getting 403 forbidden when i access cgi-bin/ http://pastie.org/656950 please help [00:57] mnaines: huh, maybe it doesn't work for some other device type - I know I tried it on something once unsuccessfully. [00:57] ZykoticK9: Yes, but if you want to change permissions for the entire drive (in cases where the drive has more than one file system and you want all of them to have the same permissions), you use the drive path not the mount path [00:58] Zykotick9: I already tried that. Terminal went through the whole list of files and "changed" the owner, but I still get "you are not the owner" [00:58] ZykoticK9: Did you unmount the drive first? [00:59] Doc_Lappy: check your messages [00:59] oops [00:59] a_, are you "ls -l" in the directory [00:59] a_: Did you unmount the drive first? [00:59] no [00:59] how do I unmount from terminal?

I just came in so I'm not aware in what context and what he's actually changing.. [01:02] violet523: nvidia all the way.. ati is hit and miss ..

[01:05] cmon guys [01:05] how do i make a symlink between libosgGA.so.61 and libsgGA.so ? [01:05] mnaines: that's an older card .. with the newer releases of ubuntu you might need to install the legacy driver. It's in Synaptic package manager.. however if you've just installed do a full update and it might pull it in automatically.. open a terminal and type or cut and paste.. sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade ...

But I can't enter to xp. I think I installed mbr on my usb memorystick and atfer that install grub on my disk. [01:06] Wait nvm yes [01:06] a_, s/unmount/umount !!!! [01:06] The program needs a app with .so.61 but that dosent exist so yeah :\ [01:06] how can I fix the grub without live cd? [01:06] Jihui_Choi: grub should have picked up the windows install and listed it in the menu.. you might need to reinstall grub to catch it. [01:06] !grub | Jihui_Choi [01:06] Jihui_Choi: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows?

[01:07] violet523: i think u do need to use legacy for 5200 [01:07] how do i make a symlink between libosgGA.so.61 and libsgGA.so ? same directory [01:08] Purpley: ln -s file file.so.61 [01:08] alright, be back in ten then if it doesnt work ;p [01:08] but I need .so to be linked with .so.61 [01:08] Scunizi: nono.. actually I had xp and ubuntu. and I installed ubuntu 9.10 and failed. so I installed mbr for booting on xp because after installing ubuntu 9.10, I couldn't boot on xp. After that I installed 9.04 again. [01:08] oh wait [01:08] nvm i see what you meant lol [01:09] And now I can't boot on xp still. I can boot on 9.04, though [01:10] the name of my external HD is "disc 3". This is exactly what I am typing: mount "/media/disc 3" [01:10] nvm do you know where one could install libosgGA.so.61 [01:10] Jihui_Choi: look in /boot/grub/ ... that's where menu.list (your grub boot menu) is located.. see if there are backups in that directory you can look at for the right references to the load routine for xp [01:10] a_: what do you expect that to do? [01:10] Purpley: for what program [01:10] ok [01:10] !who | a_ [01:10] a_: 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 :) [01:11] Scunizi: no I've just checked. there's no backup for menu.lst [01:11] jrib: mount the drive? [01:11] a_: is it in your fstab then? [01:11] a_: linux doesn't like names with spaces.. if the name of the drive is "disk 3" then when mentioning it put ' on either end. [01:11] jrib: I dont think so [01:11] Jihui_Choi: just one drive in the machine? [01:11] a_: then the command wouldn't work. What are you trying to accomplish? [01:11] a_, if it's usb just unplug it and plug it back in! [01:11] yes. I have dell mini 9 [01:12] * stylezed kicks his own ass and says thanks to everyone === tf3_ is now known as tf3 [01:12] and I don't have live cd, either -_- [01:12] Okay, everything i do will not connect my printer to vista! D: [01:12] thanks to those who helped - Billiard ;) [01:12] bye [01:12] Billiard, FGRUN which is linked to FGFS [01:12] a_, you mount would be something like "mount /dev/sdaX /mnt" where /mnt has to already exist as a directory [01:13] Jihui_Choi: wish I was home I could give you my references to massage.. alas .. I'm not.. [01:13] hello [01:13] good night [01:13] What format is Ubuntu installed in? Fat 16? [01:13] you choose on setup, ext3 I think is default [01:13] m0r0n: um, no.... ext3 is default in 9.04. [01:13] m0r0n: ext3 or 3xt4 by default [01:13] is it possible to add modelines to xorg.conf? [01:13] m0r0n, usually ext3 [01:13] cody, email me at productsupport@brother.com.au [01:13] Scunizi: it's ok. you know what? if I boot using hiren cd on my usb stick, I can boot on xp. [01:13] it's so awkward [01:13] ae86-drifter: Okay, let me open my email [01:14] Hi. I just started using Ubuntu today, and I can't get Ubuntu to recognize and use my wireless card. How can I get it to do so? You may say "How are you here then?" Answer: Ethernet. [01:14] Jihui_Choi: use the menu.lst from that for reference [01:14] i got a dual boot vista ubuntu9.x install , i think i did all correct , but when i hibernate , and switch on the computer , the things was opend when hibernate , like browser or programs arent there . why ? [01:14] make sure u say your from australia, or we cannot provide support [01:14] MJ94_: check system -> administraiton -> hardware drivers [01:14] what reference? on my usb? [01:14] Anyone install on sucessfully? [01:14] MJ94_: if your wireless driver isnt included, that should let you download one using your ethernet [01:14] I already tried, but it didn't work well [01:15] m0r0n: You're missing a noun. [01:15] I clicked hardware drivers. Now what? [01:15] m0r0n: install what successfully? [01:15] oh great, now something else went wrong. how do I force quit? [01:15] Purpley: idk have you seen this? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=647518 [01:15] Has anyone installed Ubuntu Jaunty sucessfully on a flash drive? [01:15] MJ94_, after doing what maco suggested - if nothing is listed for wireless, put in a wired connect - run the updates for ubuntu - then check "hardware drivers" again (only a hint if your wireless isn't there) [01:16] Scunizi: anyway thank you so much :) [01:16] alt+f2 type xkill click on the frozen program [01:16] Jihui_Choi: no problem.. good luck [01:16] if there aren't any modelines in xorg.conf, can they even be used if added? [01:16] thanks :0 [01:16] kingbuzzo: yes [01:16] jrib: how do I force quit? [01:16] * Purpley hugs Billiard [01:16] thanks man [01:16] a__ : do alt+f2 type xkill then click on the dead program [01:16] Purpley: np, so it worked? [01:17] ae86-drifter: I emailed it [01:17] a_, if what chris-s suggests doesn't work try "killall -9 nameofprogram" in a terminal [01:17] a_ pikill [01:17] cody: i have your email [01:18] (cody-wd 1) [01:18] kingbuzzo: my understanding is modelines (and other config) will be used if added to the xorg.conf file. The challenge is to get the syntax & values correct when adding lines... [01:18] StrangeCharm_, what's with this pikill stuff? does this replace kill and killall? [01:18] If i've got 2 screens set up as seperate x screens, is their any way to move windows between screens? I like having 2 x screens, but can't stand not being able to move stuff to the other screen. All google returns is people asking the same question [01:18] ae86-drifter: okay, reply with help? [01:18] hm, couldn't just add "320x240" or something right? [01:19] ZykoticK9, pkill is like kill (pidof ) [01:19] ZykoticK9: pkill kills based on name [01:19] is there a special channel for the netbook remix? [01:19] LordQuackstar, I looked into that -- NO way to move between :( you can force windows to open on one or the other - but not switch once their open -- had big problems with firefox with a dual-X setup like that [01:19] kingbuzzo: dunno what kind of computers you're used to, but the ones I use, you can't just guess at the config. You kind of have to know what you're doing... [01:20] sigh [01:20] LordQuackstar, what's your gpu? [01:20] LordQuackstar: not the way you have it set up, no [01:20] StrangeCharm_, Billiard so it doesn't really matter which we use? [01:20] StrangeCharm: an old geoforce 5500 [01:20] well I want to have my crt monitor display low res. Before I would simply add the resolution to the modelines and be done with it [01:20] what is the default file viewer in ubuntu? [01:21] cody: please also email samba config file [01:21] ZykoticK9: How did you force a window to open in another screen? I was wanting to move the firefox error log to the other one [01:21] ZykoticK9, there are some other methods for using dual monitors. there's a very good proprietary one for nvidia cards (twinview) [01:21] cody_: gedit most likely [01:21] ae86-drifter: I will send a new one with it now [01:21] cody_: No doubt since its the best viewer [01:21] LordQuackstar, can't do that i'm affraid -- sorry i'm mistaken, it's only with twinview you can force which window - sorry [01:21] ok thanks, cody_ please also detail as much as you can [01:22] StrangeCharm_: twinview just makes the computer think its one giant monitor. However, i like the ability to have seperate workspaces. Is their a way to do that with twinview? === chaky_ is now known as chaky [01:22] kingbuzzo: sorry, you've exceeded my expertise on the subject. If you have an old mode line from a previous x config, that's what I'd try... [01:22] (thats really all i want, diffrent workspaces for each monitor [01:22] cool, thanks [01:22] ae86-drifter: I just sent another email [01:22] ae86-drifter: Why not use a configurator for that ? [01:23] LordQuackstar, i'm sure you could hack something with workspaces. what specific workspace features are you looking for? [01:23] LordQuackstar: xinerama might be what your wanting. nvidia-settings has the option for this [01:23] ae86-drifter: Or do you wish to rely on cody_ all the time ? [01:23] WanHouse: looking at the config file would help determine what needs to be changed to allow access [01:23] bastidrazor: xinerama seemed just like twinview [01:24] WanHouse: what do you mean rely ? [01:24] Anyone know what this means in GParted http://paste.ubuntu.com/294298/ [01:24] LordQuackstar, just to clarify - virtual workspaces is TOTALLY different from two X sessions <-- which is a rather unusal setup i might add, i looked into it for gaming but eventually gave up on it [01:24] StrangeCharm_: Each monitor has an independant workspace. That way i can change workspaces in one monitor w/o it affecting the other [01:24] ZykoticK9: I was using 2 x screens for that feature [01:25] LordQuackstar, ummm ok so you really do want 2 X sessions then! [01:25] m0r0n: is the drive mounted? [01:25] chris-s: Ya [01:25] LordQuackstar, you have exceeded my skills. try hacking something fun. if you make it work, publish, and relish in theglory [01:26] ZykoticK9: Sihg. I was really wanting to use both features at the same time [01:26] *sigh [01:26] LordQuackstar, i have 2 monitor and many virtual workspaces (ie 4 desktops) but am using twinview with one big monitor across both monitors - it's a LOT easier for me then 1 XSession on each monitor. [01:26] ae86-drifter: "add a user", "add the user to a share" (valid users or so) then youre about done. [01:26] Alright, thanks for the help [01:26] ae86-drifter: What i really meant was, use a gui if in doubt. [01:26] WanHouse, i know this, but he has already allowed access to everybody [01:27] well you need to unmount it before gparted will do anything to it. So close gparted, you can probaly unmount it from places -> computer [01:27] i agree that GUI is much easier to use but if i were to help somebody, looking at the conf file will tell me what needs to be changed [01:27] ae86-drifter: gadmin-samba, webmin etc could be nice. One screenshot or so and youll have your whole setup documented as well. [01:27] anyone else experiencing popping sounds from for example tab-completes in the shell on ubuntu 9.10?

[01:31] where when you drag a window you can make it go into the next desktop [01:31] use a ; at the start of the line [01:32] semicolon [01:32] ae86-drifter: Commented, added, and restarted. I got to go, ill be back around 9 PM MST, i am going to a bible study [01:32] .uk [01:34] oh well ill try earlier in the morning [01:34] cody_: Do you still have bible study ? :) [01:35] !list [01:35] This is not a file sharing channel (or network).

Now, When I start up my machine with Ubuntu as my first boot disk, I don't get grub at all.

Very bad. [01:50] ryguy, you russian? [01:50] violet523: just an FYI.. when you do the driver install just relog. no need to do a complete reboot [01:50] ttestt: ..no?

I take a look > I am following the link. [01:53] im trying to put "echo -n 230 > /sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/serio2/sensitivity" into /etc/rc.local. I have it in there, and rc.local is +x. However, the command doens't work; it won't execute at boot. But the command DOES work from the console after boot. [01:53] any ideas? [01:53] Either way, can someone help me? [01:54] anyone use VLC to write video from v4l2? [01:54] hsarci: you need the full path of echo /bin/echo [01:54] hsarci, does it work if you execute it manually? [01:54] yes it works fine manually [01:55] that exact code, i just coppied from the console [01:55] works fine [01:55] hsarci: are you adding it before the exit line? [01:55] absolutely before the exit line [01:55] should /bin/echo fix it? [01:55] hsarci, I think bastidrazor has it. Put the full path in. [01:55] k im gonna edit it then restart [01:56] ill come back with results [01:56] can anyone help me restore GRUB?

You can also add cat /sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/serio2/sensitivity before and after to see the before and after values.... [01:57] nomnex: ubottu is a bot..

Mic not working on my laptop [01:58] hsarci: you should probably take some time to learn about it [01:58] hello guys [01:58] can you breifly explain? [01:58] is it a way to execute commands on boot? [01:58] hsarci: it's the proper way to edit kernel parameters. You can set default values in sysctl.conf [01:59] hsarci: on the console during boot. You may need to remove the 'quiet' keyword from /boot/grub/menu.lst to see more debug traces. Alternatively, you can log the output to a file by adding >> /tmp/log to each command e.g. echo Before setting sensitivity >> /tmp/log [02:00] hrm, i can't just do sometihng like add sensitivity=0 to sysctl.conf? [02:00] ryguy: sorry blondie, maybe you need to say a bit more about what you've tried and what doesn't work [02:01] hold off on the response for a second im gonna /part [02:01] Is it possible to install in text mode from the desktop install CD?

(with the proper syntax of course) [02:02] losha: alright, I reinstalled grub on sda(My linux partition) and added windows at (hd1,0) to /boot/grub/menu.lst [02:02] well, adding full path /bin/echo didn't do it [02:03] Hello, would it be recommended that I install portable Ubuntu or use a VM to run Ubuntu from within Windows? [02:03] Does anyone have a Jetway JNF77-N1GL-LF? [02:03] Ubuntu refuses to run on it [02:04] i'm not getting my new ubuntu-server box to resolve from my laptop by hostname. what do i need to do to be able to resolve it by hostname? my other ubuntu machine *is* resolvable by hostname, fwiw [02:04] hsarci: I agree with jrib, edit sysctl.conf if you can find out the correct syntax [02:04] thats what ill do but i don't even know where to start to find correct syntax [02:04] i googled it but didnt get much [02:04] losha: Infact, I didnt do that first. I booted into my live cd and ran `sudo grub` then `root (hd0,0); setup(hd0)` [02:04] hsarci: man sysctl... [02:04] adamonline45: many people seem happy with vbox. I like vmware, but it costs money... [02:04] jrib, i know... [02:04] hsarci: man sysctl.conf... [02:05] losha: grub refused to show up, showing only the cryptic md5-like string at the top of the screen, so I reinstalled grub with the same output [02:05] Do boot args need to be followed by --? [02:05] How do you create a dial-up connection???? [02:05] /etc/cups/printers.conf [02:05] !dialup | fbc-mx [02:05] fbc-mx: You want to connect via dial-up? Read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto - Also try disabling/removing KNetworkManager if KDE applications cannot connect using dial-up [02:05] ryguy: menu.lst? :f [02:05] ryguy: so windows overwrote your mbr and you can only boot into windows now? [02:06] No, I have Ubuntu on sda and XP on sdb. I can boot into xp by changing the boot priority in the BIOS [02:07] I'm not seeing ANY boot menu [02:07] no grub or windows boot [02:07] Hello, do you know a good book about linux? [02:07] ryguy: did you install ubuntu first, then xp? [02:07] yes [02:08] losha: Thanks, I'll check out the free option :) I have a spare raid array in by box right now, and I'd like to install Ubuntu to that. Can I do a 'stand-alone' install like I would for dual booting, yet use a VM to run it from within Windows? Sorry for the noob questions, the intricacies of VMing are new to me :) [02:08] ryguy: windows has over-written the boot menu [02:08] on both drives [02:08] \o/ [02:08] they're on seperate HDDs [02:08] jrib, any ideas on how i can find out the keyname? [02:08] any help with why nm-applet is not loading as a startup application nm-applet -sm-disable but after i alt-f2 and nm-applet alone it works? here's my xsession pastebin if anyone can read it, http://pastebin.ca/1623119 [02:08] hsarci: change / to . devices.platform.whatever [02:09] I also installed XP with the harddrive ubuntu is on unplugged [02:09] ryguy: ok, that's different [02:09] ryguy: menu.lst? ;f [02:09] ryguy: what happens when you try to boot from the ubuntu hd? [02:10] vox: it goes past bios messages, then I get a blank black screen with a cryptic, md5 like hash at the top of the screen for about 15 seconds [02:10] then it boots right into ubuntu [02:10] hello i jus istalled 9.04 and my keyboard i very agy [02:10] anyone know an easy way to get Ubuntu working on a HP Pavilion zv6000 [02:10] is there a reason behind this? [02:10] I'm running the 9.10 beta, and when I try to open a folder from the places menu, it says "Could not open location 'file:///home/nathan' - No application is registered as handling this file" Does anyone have any idea what's going on? [02:10] ryguy: did you have the windows hd plugged in when you installed ubuntu? [02:11] Varth: join #ubuntu+1 for karmic support [02:11] jrin, i still got "unknown key" [02:11] vox: No I installed ubuntu last night and XP about 2 hours ago [02:11] jrib* [02:11] vox: Gotcha. [02:11] hsarci: that's how it works, don't know then [02:11] lol [02:11] thanks anyway [02:11] ryguy: i understand that, but did you have the drive that windows was installed onto plugged-in when you installed ubuntu? [02:12] if echo command i was running doesn't work then theres gotta be a more screwed up reason [02:12] I just installed 9.10 on a separate partition and it still boots to my old 8.10 install even though the new partition has be setup with grub2 and has the boot flag [02:12] is there any reason anyone can think ofwhy my keyboard wou be so laging? [02:12] what can I do to fix? [02:12] vox: I think so, it was wiped multiple times since then though [02:12] very frustrating [02:12] stickykeys [02:12] hsarci: how are you getting an error anyway if you are just entering them into sysctl.conf? [02:12] matt____: cable is too long. [02:12] matt____: have you checked top to see what's runng? [02:13] hello [02:13] What can I do if Ubuntu halts during installation? [02:13] im using command line sysctl [02:13] no sense in changing the file if i cant change it from command line [02:13] user1: what do you mean halts? did the md5 checksums match? [02:13] ryguy: i'd say what has happened in this: you have disk A and disk B. you install ubuntu on to disk B, but the boot record/menu gets installed on disk A. you then unplug disk B, install windows on disk A, and windows over-writes the boot record and boot menu [02:13] bluey top? [02:13] i'm a nwb sorry [02:14] Bluey: I've done a memtest and a CD check and all is ok [02:14] evening everyone [02:14] vox: sounds reasonable, but ubuntu was installed on disk A (hd0) [02:14] What should i do during the install command if I am using a tv for a display through and s-video, and it won't install because of that [02:14] hsarci: probably needs to be in /proc/sys [02:14] matt____: type in "top" (no quotes) into a terminal box -- and it well tell you whats grabbing all the cpu time [02:14] Bluey: The installer starts; the logo appears and the progress bar progresses, then I get a black screen and a blinking cursor in the top left corner [02:14] ryguy: ...then none of this is making any sense :) [02:14] i need to execute from proc sys??? [02:14] user1: did the md5 checksums match? [02:14] root@Hsarci-laptopUB:/usr/share/man# sysctl -p sensitivity error: unable to open preload file "sensitivity" [02:15] vox: thats what I'm getting out of it [02:15] ryguy: i have that exact same setup on my desktop [02:15] Where can I find odler releases? [02:15] is there a command i can put in a terminal that will give me a complete list of all progs that are installed [02:15] Bluey: As I said - I ran a disk check and it passed. I this should be equivalent to an MD5 sum check [02:15] preecher: dpkg -l [02:15] root@Hsarci-laptopUB:/usr/share/man# sysctl -w sensitivity=230 error: "sensitivity" is an unknown key [02:15] i have a question?, where do i find the settings, or something of that nature, that we tell this os that a s-video cable is hooked up, so i can use this on my flat screen tv? [02:15] preecher: ...that's going to be a very long list. [02:15] vox: I've tried every trick to restore grub but grub doesnt show up at all when I boot ubuntu or windows [02:15] Anyone have advise for reading PDFs inside Firefox 3.0? Xubuntu (kind of old, but exact release unknown). [02:15] Bluey: I've installed from the disk before and it was fine (on a different machine). [02:16] user1: not at all [02:16] jrib, I can edit the file as root and save it and it works immediatley [02:16] that just means the disc is readable [02:16] Bluey: Really? [02:16] hsarci: did you see the last thing I said? [02:16] ryguy: there's a few grub-restore howto's on the ubuntuforms, have you looked into those? [02:16] some progs ive dloaded and installed dont show on my apps menus so i thought id see if they listed on terminal [02:16] Ochian: goto #xubuntu for xubuntu related questions [02:16] about /proc/sys? [02:16] Bluey: Anyway, I'm pretty sure it's not the disk [02:16] user1: let me see if I can find the md5sums [02:16] hsarci: yes [02:16] jrib, what needs to be in /proc/sys? [02:16] vox: I've been reading through them for an hour and a half now [02:17] hsarci: your path begins with /sys, not /proc/sys [02:17] Bluey: I've tried with an alternate CD and get the same problem [02:17] gotcha [02:17] For some reason, autofs is not working for me, even though I configured everything properly. I have a file called /etc/auto.cifs which /etc/auto.master is pointed to. Inside of auto.cifs, I have the format (share_name options remote_share) [02:17] ...checking now [02:17] Does anyone use autofs for remote shares? [02:17] how can i stop the x server? [02:17] lets md5 checksum - here's where the checksums are stored: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes [02:17] I can connect to the remote share with Nautilus, so it's not a connection problem. [02:17] jrib, no good... [02:18] user1: do you know how to md5 checksum a file? [02:18] Bluey: Can I run an MD5 checksum from the CD? [02:18] ryguy: hm. there is a way this could have happened [02:18] user1: you'd run it on the iso you downloaded [02:18] Can I Ctrl+Alt+F1 then run md5sum [02:18] alteregoa: gnome? [02:18] I'm on a Windows machine [02:18] ahh [02:18] hsarci: I'm just telling you that sysctl operates on /proc/sys, not on what you are doing (apparently) [02:18] ryguy: how familiar are you with udev? [02:18] user1: let me find a windows md5 [02:18] vox: never heard of it but I pick up on things fast [02:18] i just tried it with /proc/sys [02:20] ryguy: ok cool. basicly, linux doesnt assign devices based on boot priority order. just because a drive is listed as /dev/sda doesnt mean it's the primary sata disk on controller 0, for example [02:20] vox: alright [02:20] vox: should I try auto super grub disk first? [02:21] ryguy: the ONLY thing that makes sense, is if linux saw the windows disk as the "first" disk, and wrote the boot menu there [02:21] it doesn't look that bad actually, the icons in the bot of he screen are also discolord [02:21] user1: go here and download the md5checksum for windows: http://www.etree.org/md5com.html [02:21] ryguy: there just isnt any other way to explain it [02:21] Bluey: I've found some info on the hash page [02:21] what is a good size to make the hdd for ubuntu server 9.04 [02:22] user1: kewl do the numbers match? [02:22] i instllled 9.0 ysterday the upgaded, then downgraded due to probleems, keybord wored perfectly yeterday [02:22] I'll check the CD (even though I'm pretty sure it's fine), then get back to you... === divpload_ is now known as divpload [02:22] InsanePenguin: depends on what you're planning on doing with it [02:22] user1: no you checksum the iso file NOT the cd. [02:22] ryguy: vox: hmm. won't the grub command 'find /boot/grub/stage1' sort that out? [02:22] user1: if you downloaded a bad copy this will tell you [02:22] losha: the output of that command gives me hd(0,0) [02:23] er (hd0,0) [02:23] vox: idk just messing around mostly, install apace, setup ftp, maybe a mail server [02:23] what's the syntax to scp to a nonstandard ssh port? [02:23] ryguy: Not helpful because the question was not Xubuntu specific. However, I found my answer here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EvinceMozilla [02:23] because it's scp file user@host:destdirectory [02:23] where do you put the port?

[02:24] umm, its embarrasing Bluey, im too lazy to update my liveCD [02:25] i have a question?, where do i find the settings, or something of that nature, that we tell this os that a s-video cable is hooked up, so i can use this on my flat screen tv? [02:25] daerogami: ahh that could be a problem [02:25] so i cant upgrade from this? [02:25] daerogami: 6.04 is massively old, and there's been significant changes to ubuntu since then. swallow it and download 9.04 iso :) [02:25] !tvout | ovrdrive [02:25] ovrdrive: For help with enabling the TV-Out, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaTVOutNewbieEdition (Nvidia cards) or http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Tvout (ATI cards, *untested*) [02:25] Alright, so `find /boot/grub/stage1` returns `(hd0,0)` and hd0,0 is SDA which is what Ubuntu is installed on. Why is my computer not loading into grub? [02:25] ill ahve to download to Cd and rehash? [02:25] ryguy: well, I think vox is on the right track about it depending on how the disks are discovered. How about disconnecting the windows disk and seeing if you can ubuntu booting from grub when it's the only disk? [02:25] thx vox [02:25] ill be back when im done, thank god i have FiOS [02:26] daerogami: you'd download the iso to your hard drive, then burn it to a cd using some cd burner programme [02:26] yes i know [02:26] i just didnt want to resort to that [02:26] ryguy: either that, or your sda is completely hosed.

I'm sure it's something else. [02:30] ah, my bad [02:30] what's the issue? [02:30] alright, downloading on alternate pc, eta 2 min :p [02:30] does ubuntu have any support for TV Tuners for HP laptops? [02:30] user1: does the target machine have enough ram? [02:30] What I really want to know is how to drop back to text-mode install from the desktop CD [02:30] Yes [02:30] It has 1GB [02:30] user1: kewl [02:30] please tell me beryl comes standard with the new distro [02:31] !beryl [02:31] Beryl has been merged with Compiz to form Compiz-Fusion. New Beryl installs are discouraged. See also !compiz [02:31] user1: you need the text installer cd for that... [02:31] user1: I have one machine that's marginal so I have to get that...

[02:32] awesome [02:33] KittyBoots: start with putting openssh-server on each machine - sudo apt-get install openssh-server === Root is now known as Guest87223 === Guest87223 is now known as grturner [02:34] is it anymore demanding, id imagine this dell (512 Ram, 2.7Ghz Celeron, typical XP model) can handle it [02:34] KittyBoots: and make sure the lan address of each machine is in /etc/hosts [02:34] Can someone help me?

I've a problem with standy and hibernation [02:37] no standy...suspend sorry [02:38] CpasFaux: If I understand right, standby = suspend, so either one works. [02:38] does anyone use Cinelerra? Can it work in Ubuntu or must I use Ubuntustudios? I have it installed in Ubuntu and its really really slow. [02:39] Omlette, I don't know....mise en veille and hibernation in french :D [02:39] Ahh. [02:39] keith1: and it will be slow on ubuntu studio. [02:39] Does anyone have any experience with clustering multiple ubuntu/linux machines? [02:39] Daz: Terrible :( [02:40] DaZ: So disappointed I cant use Jahshaka either, I use to love using Jahshaka. [02:40] keith1: why? :f [02:40] Omlette, so...can you help me? [02:41] DaZ: just easy to move objects around. easy to make video intros. [02:41] CpasFaux: Sorry, but I'm not experienced enough. :| [02:41] keith1: why you can't [02:41] What do I need to setup a home network with 2 Ubuntu machines and one Windows machine? [02:41] v1tal3, i used to use openmosix and distcc - but that was YEARS ago (on err.. Gentoo). Best of luck to you - hope you have a fast network :) [02:41] KittyBoots: asked and answered [02:41] DaZ: tried many ways to install it and all failed [02:41] Is there a way I can make my computer run a script when I plug in a specific USB external hard drive? [02:42] KittyBoots, a switch [02:42] Omlette, you give me false hopes :p [02:42] (incase you're wondering, it's so that my backups OF my external drive to my computer are not prone to human error) [02:42] What software do I need to use? [02:42] ZykoticK9: I will check those out online, thanks, as I was having a hard time figuring out where to start. And I have plenty of bandwidth, but thanks for the concern :) [02:42] argh... [02:43] KittyBoots: for doing what? [02:43] kittyboots: do you own a router? [02:43] KittyBoots: it depends what do you mean as home network [02:43] How do I setuo a network, I have a router. [02:43] KittyBoots, nonsense.. u need wires, and switch.. and configure the ips [02:43] v1tal3, openmosix might not exist anymore. distcc is just to compile c source code - not to useful, unless you're compiling c source code. [02:43] KittyBoots, go to networking channel [02:44] Can anyone connect me to a tutorial on how to set up a home network [02:44] KittyBoots, to share files/printer with windows/ubuntu look into Samba [02:44] salax: what is the network channel? [02:44] zykotick9: I read somewhere today about using a combination of MPI, NFS, and NIS, but i just started looking into it today. I'm not looking to compile code (yet) either [02:44] KittyBoots, /join #networking [02:45] hello, some sugestion for c++ compiler in ubuntu? [02:45] g++ [02:45] gcc ;f [02:46] HI! I was wondering if anyone has noticed the default netcat behavior for waiting on STDIN has been changed. It appears that it indefintely waits on stdin, whereas the default use to be to terminated immediately upon EOF [02:46] 9.04 is all I have tested* [02:46] Can you use scp to move a folder? [02:46] navap: no, secure-copy not secure mv :) [02:47] you can use ssh to move a folder [02:47] Is there an alternative? smv or something like that? [02:47] zykotick9: fyi, the openmosix project shut down march 2008, but the source is still available online [02:47] ssh user@machine mv /path/to/folder /path/to/new [02:47] /path/to/new is on the new machine? [02:47] they are both on the new machine [02:47] if you want to move a local folder you would need to first scp it, then rm the local copy [02:48] er, my mistake. I meant scp to copy a folder. [02:49] But there isn't a scp -r like mv has. [02:49] navap: there isn't? :o [02:50] someone stole it [02:50] Well if it is, it's playing hide-and-seek with me. [02:50] navap: yes there is. scp -r /folder user@host:/new/place/ [02:50] -r Recursively copy entire directories. Note that scp follows symbolic links encountered in the tree traversal. [02:50] salax, g++ is a IDE? or only a compiler? [02:50] phenrique: compiler [02:50] phenrique: it is a complier [02:51] v1tal3, ya i kinda though something happened to openmosix. it was kinda cool - but needs kernel implementation on all cluster machines - so probably REALLY difficult to implement if not supported at the OS level (ie Ubuntu) -- no idea on alternative cluster software for Ubuntu. Gotta run, so best of luck [02:51] * navap is blind [02:51] do you know some IDE? [02:51] I tried scp -r just to test it and it gave me back the syntax/help because I hadn't specifed the folders.. [02:51] Thanks guys. [02:52] with included compiler [02:52] What commnad do I run to automatically install packages for when I pick what a servers role will be? [02:53] Billiard and lstarnes do you know some IDE with included compiler like Devcpp in windows [02:53] ? [02:53] MTecknology: ? [02:53] do u know a good book about linux (not only for ubuntu)? [02:53] phenrique: most IDEs use separate compilers, usually gcc/g++ [02:53] CpasFaux: yes "Linux in a Nutshell" [02:53] phenrique: eclipse is one ide, but there are several [02:54] phenrique i'm using netbeans [02:54] Bluey: you're greated with it in the server and alternate install [02:54] thx Bluey [02:54] * Bluey is clueless atm [02:54] i have netbeans, it is difficult configure c++ in there?

How do I make it available to other hosts? [03:22] /etc/hosts.allow ? [03:22] how do i see if ffmpeg is installed [03:22] preecher, for chatting pidgin should work [03:22] preecher: type ffmpe in a terminal and hit tab [03:22] Y0w y0w... [03:22] ffmpeg* [03:23] its not installed [03:23] then install it [03:23] is there any way that I can remote ssh into a computer, and use cli to watch movies on an account that has the GUI on the pc? [03:23] preecher, sudo apt-get install ffmpeg you will need that [03:23] kk thanks [03:23] evilaim: uh.. it's possible, yes [03:24] evilami better set upa ftp than install vlc web plug in [03:24] How? [03:24] Where I can get Empathy when I close it? I see it in process list but can not find where to call its contact list. Pidgin has an icon at system tray [03:25] I use proftp easy to set up just do sudo apt-get install proftp [03:25] evilaim: i honestly cant remember off to the top of my head.. it involves alot of piping and stuffing around. havent done it in 2-3 years [03:25] That can't be right haha [03:25] ya FTP is a lot better for what you wont might even be faster [03:25] has to be easy [03:25] and easyer [03:26] tiger2wander, I would kill it in t he process window reopen it and go to its preferences to see if it has an systray icon options...if not I would switch to pidgin [03:26] evilaim: the problem is where you're launching it from. if the shell is activated from within the x-session, there's no issue. but by ssh-ing in, you have to "route" the output to the x-session.. and that causes problems [03:27] coz_, :) You are not need to kill it, simple open it again. The contact list will bring up again [03:27] :( [03:27] tiger2wander, there you go [03:27] what is it you trying to do evilaim?? [03:27] dang [03:27] evilaim: as i said, it is doable [03:27] But the pain is: sometime I have lose message while its contact list is hidden [03:27] evilaim: but it's not a simple "mplayer $filename" arguement [03:28] hmm [03:28] what is it that your trying to do evilaim? [03:30] evilaim: well think about it. when you open a shell via whatever method (remote ssh, local tty, x-shell, whatever), the output is going to come back to that console. what you're wanting to do is to spawn the process on one sheel, then redirect the output to X.. it's not straight-forward [03:31] greetings channel [03:31] can anyone tell me if there is a way to install ubuntu using an older kernel? [03:31] the kernel on the install iso doesnt work w/ my raid card === I_fallow_jesus is now known as some_online_guy [03:32] momelod: how do you mean "doesnt work with" === some_online_guy is now known as I_fallow_jesus [03:32] on the newest upgrade of ubuntu, I keep getting nautilus trying to fork more and more processes [03:32] anybody know if this is a known bug? [03:32] mebaran151: #ubuntu+1 [03:32] mebaran151: which ubuntu version? 9.04 or 9.10? [03:32] 9.10 [03:33] mebaran151: join #ubuntu+1 as Laibsch said :) [03:33] mebaran151, May be it is new implementation of Nautilus to support multiple threading :P [03:33] Hi! Any DNS experts around? I have a problem where a host (mail.leggewie.org) resolves fine on one computer but not on another where it is NXDOMAIN. I don't really understand why and would appreciate some help in analysing (dig & friends). [03:33] vox: dmraid produces the following error: "either the required RAID set not found or more options required' [03:33] Laibsch: do they have the same nameservers? [03:33] no [03:33] they are completely independent [03:33] 10.000 km apart computers [03:34] vox, what do you get for "host mail.leggewie.org"? [03:34] Laibsch: then whichever nameserver the second one is using, is broken [03:34] I assume so [03:34] But I would like to understand a bit more before I contact the nameserver admin [03:34] vox: i found others on the forums with the same raid card i had and they said rebuild initrd or use an older kernel which has an older version of dmraid which works with my card [03:34] momelod: ah. [03:35] so is it possible to specify an alternate kernel during installation? [03:35] momelod: using an older kernel in itself isnt hard, there are how-to's on the ubuntu forums [03:35] Laibsch: 91.59.59.215 [03:35] OK [03:35] that is good [03:36] momelod: you'll have to install, then build your own kernel [03:36] This is quite strange [03:36] vox: im having problems locating said forum posting.. can u point me in the right direction ? [03:36] vox: i cant install b/c it doesnt see my disks.. [03:36] It works again now, but I've had it failing two times in the past 24 hours [03:36] momelod: you want to install ubuntu onto that raidset? [03:37] Laibsch: then i'd say the dns server is flakey [03:37] vox: the system has two disks in raid-1.. the only disks in the system [03:37] vox: I agree [03:37] It would still be nice to know a bit more about it [03:37] Laibsch: Is the computer that is running the dns always accessible? Do you ever lose contact with it? [03:37] the domain belongs to me [03:38] and there is always the chance I have set it up incorrectly. [03:38] momelod: mmmuh. i'm.. not sure how to get around that. throw a post up in the forums, someone more familiar with dmraid may know [03:38] For instance, could you keep any other service going on it? [03:38] k, thanks [03:38] infamy: I think the DNS server that is problematic (here in Japan) otherwise works OK [03:38] I haven't seen any other obvious problems [03:38] anyone know how to run a script after resume? [03:39] where can i download old version of ubuntu? [03:39] Laibsch: could also be a problem with the nameserver of where the domainname is hosted [03:39] infamy: the host mail.leggewie.org itself is up 24/7 with a dynip [03:39] http://releases.ubuntu.com/ momelod [03:39] vox: could be [03:39] bastidrazor: thanks! [03:39] Laibsch: Just thinking top down. Make sure that you aren't plain having the dns server dropped off the network before digging into the dns stuff [03:40] I'm trying to find out [03:40] infamy: IOW, ping the DNS server before anything else? [03:40] momelod: 6.06 is as far back as it goes [03:40] I thought the tool for analyzing DNS problems was dig [03:40] But I don't "dig it" ;-) 100% [03:41] why is it when i type mail.leggewie.org, i get directed to localhost [03:41] Laibsch: Try keeping an ssh session alive on it [03:41] InsanePenguin: that is the way I set up apache [03:41] Or some other sort of server that is easy to setup, like ftp [03:41] ok [03:41] Laibsch: Then see if you are getting dropped [03:41] infamy: I don't understand [03:42] infamy: I will get dropped at a fixed time of the day [03:42] DSL reconnect [03:42] * InsanePenguin stupid IIS keeps restarting, darn i want to use apache [03:42] Ah [03:42] The connection on this end in Japan is fixed [03:42] But the one in .de is DSL with a reconnect [03:43] It should happen +/- 30 minutes from now [03:43] Hmm [03:43] so, I don't quite see what you are trying to achieve with the ssh connection [03:44] if ip changes, your ssh connection will drop [03:44] yeah, server is finally installed [03:44] n8tuser: yes, obviously [03:44] is 512mb ram enough [03:45] IP resolution is broken again [03:45] hi [03:45] On this end [03:45] I tryed to upgrade to karmic, and my system is broken [03:45] which dns server are you using to resolve? [03:46] !karmic| pepee [03:46] pepee: 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 [03:46] I'm getting something like this: http://i36.tinypic.com/333bf9c.jpg [03:46] Trying to figure out if virt-manager is dependent on gnome... I don't want to have to install all of gnome to be able to run virt manager via X11 forwarding through an ssh tunnel... anyone have any ideas? [03:46] BUT is not exactly as that [03:46] ok, thanks [03:46] lol. [03:47] pepee, focus.. [03:47] what command can I use to view possible attributes for writing udev rules for a specific device, I see many tutorials for udevinfo, which ubuntu seems not to have anymore [03:47] joeb3_: is not my pic [03:47] n8tuser: resolv.conf has two entries. 192.168.0.1 (the local router) and 61.207.11.153 [03:47] pepee: boot from a livecd and fix your /etc/fstab file [03:48] !mint [03:48] There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mintsupport), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), crunchbang (support in #crunchbang) [03:48] what's the favored FOSS GUI configurator for nagios? [03:48] !mintsupport > shane2peru [03:48] shane2peru, please see my private message [03:48] n8tuser: I looked at the difference in output from "dig mail.leggewie.org@$DNSSERVER" for those two, but can't spot anything obvious. They are both returning NXDOMAIN now. [03:48] momelod: I'm trying from debian (is installed) [03:48] momelod: but I don't know what it have to do with debian [03:49] Laibsch -> which dns server are you using? your own? [03:49] pepee: IOW, you are "upgrading" a debian installation with Ubuntu? Not a good idea, if true. [03:49] anyone got any ideas? [03:49] pepee: in your fstab file replace the uuids with the dev mappings.. ie: /dev/sda1... [03:49] n8tuser: no, 61.207.11.153 is from the ISP. === administrator is now known as Guest77856 [03:52] what causes a system not accept a preshared key? I have 2 servers and a laptop. I can get a passwordless login from my laptop to server #1 and I can log into the laptop from server #1 to the laptop. As well, I can connect with server 2 to the laptop and server #1, but not the other way around [03:52] jeeves_Moss: you lost me [03:53] you have 3 computers [03:53] you want to connect from every computer to every other computer, correct? [03:53] Laibsch, think of it as a triangle. I can get the laptop to connect (without a password) to only one server. [03:53] Laibsch, yes. I want all 3 systems to connect without a password. [03:54] which connection does not work? [03:54] Laibsch, currently, I have server #2 connecting to the other 2 systems with no problem, but we can't connect to server #2 without a password [03:54] What is necessary to view H264 media?

[03:55] jeeves_Moss: I'm assuming you're talking about ssh connections [03:55] shane2peru, I'm presharing SSH keys to do a rsync over SSH [03:55] jeeves_Moss: ok, and I'm assuming you don't have a firewall running? [03:55] Laibsch -> whats the address you get when you do dig @61.207.11.153 mail.leggewie.org [03:56] shane2peru, no fire walls. (as I said, I have 2 way connection between server # 1 and the laptop). and server # 2 can connect OUT, but not in [03:57] jeeves_Moss: check to make sure you have the ssh daemon running/installed on server 2 [03:57] jeeves_Moss: Make sure the key you want to connect with is listed in ~/.ssh/authorized_keys2 on server2 [03:57] shane2peru, I can log into server #2 if I use the password [03:57] leaf-sheep: drwx------ [03:57] Laibsch, and I used the same proceedure on each system. [03:57] jeeves_Moss: ahh, in that case as Laibsch said [03:58] infamy: Don't worry about it. _Techie_ was kind to paste his content recently. :) [03:58] jeeves_Moss: I don't know which procedure you used [03:58] Laibsch, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=15082 [03:59] alright [03:59] Before we talk about backup, make sure the ssh connection works [04:00] Anybody else here have problems using VNC to connect remotely to other computers? [04:00] Laibsch, the SSH issue is as far as I've got. I've got the backup working between server #1 and the laptop, and as I said, I can make an outbound connection from server #2 to the laptop and server#1, but no inbound connections unless I use the password [04:00] Laibsch -> whats the address you get when you do dig @61.207.11.153 mail.leggewie.org same as 91.59.59.215 ?

[04:01] gb0, you have an unformatted partition with data..? [04:01] jeeves_Moss: I would run through the setup process again for your second server. actually back up your .ssh/known_hosts or move it and try to make your key again [04:01] How come when I try to connect remotely to my desktop from my laptop using the preinstalled Remote Desktop tool it connects fine and displays whatever is on screen but when I click things nothing happens nothing opens etc...

I cant play any DVDs, mp3's, video, cant use skype blah blah blah. nothing works. how the heck do i get drivers to make it all work? i am using ubuntu version 9.04 [04:11] if I set / to 755 it kills my execute access to sudo... Have to recover from disk to set the permissions back to 777 [04:11] gb0: What kind of partition was it? [04:11] Billiard [04:11] danielsevigny -> look into polyinstantiation, i dont konw how it works, there is an article on IBM [04:11] jeeves_Moss: known_hosts has nothing to do with it ( and I never mentioned the file) [04:11] first, the partition was NTFS [04:11] Ah [04:11] but then, i stupid, run he command dd [04:11] and after 5 seconds [04:11] polyinstantiation? I'll give it a google. [04:12] yes polyinstantiation [04:12] i press control + c [04:12] but then, the partition doesnt have anything [04:12] !medibuntu | pistyman1 [04:12] pistyman1: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [04:12] Laibsch: that was my fault. :) I didn't know about the other file i mentioned, known_hosts [04:12] Laibsch: for the ssh setup thing [04:12] thankyou [04:12] gb0: you should try something like this: http://sysblogd.wordpress.com/2008/01/05/data-recovery-with-linux-from-hard-drives-cd-roms-or-dvds/ [04:12] pistyman1: Medibuntu has the goodies like libdvdcss that let you play DVD movies. [04:13] wicked [04:13] gb0 -> what was your dd command like? dd by itself should have done nothing, it requires parameters [04:13] shane2peru: I know. But I already pointed jeeves_Moss to the keys file for so many times now. But he just won't listen. That's his not your fault. [04:13] Any wget experts around ? How would i get everything in ? http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/jaunty/main/installer-i386/beta/images/netboot/ [04:13] pistyman1: To use all the fancy gadgets in your video card, you'll need to learn about the fglrx package. [04:13] alright, running 9.04 and all the updates are installed, just one problem, i dont think ubuntu likes intel gfx chipsets. Is there a fix for this? [04:13] one other thing, why when the DVD didnt work and i clicked "search for drivers" it god nothing? or did it just search my computer and not the net? [04:14] n8tuser: 192.168.0.1 is the router itself. And apparently it chokes on *.leggewie.org being a wildcard for mail.leggewie.org while mail.leggewie.org itself also has a defined IP address. Not sure if that is an incorrect setup. [04:14] vox you still here? [04:14] thanks dajhorn and ubottu! [04:14] Laibsch -> yes most likely, your router is not getting the correct feed, and also uses what it stores on your /etc/resolv.conf [04:15] skinnY -> look here for tricks http://lifehacker.com/software/top/geek-to-live--mastering-wget-161202.php [04:15] Hauppauge PVR 150 tuner.. in Ubuntu 9.04.. can anyone help me the only way I got it working is with runnin vlc /dec/video1.. and the change the channels with zapping tv.. but I get no sound.. can anyone help me [04:15] @all: is it OK to have *.leggewie.org as a DNS wildcard pointing to mail.leggewie.org, plus an A record for mail.leggewie.org? Or is that asking for trouble when resolving mail.leggewie.org? [04:15] n8tuser, thanks ! [04:16] anyone have an issue on ubuntu with Dell issued intel chipsets? [04:16] test [04:16] i have a problem with my graphic card, its a mobile intel [04:17] Apparently is a bug in Ubuntu, bug! lol [04:17] Alan502, is your 3d redering etc sluggish? [04:17] rendering* [04:17] nemesis1911: whats the output of `dmesg |grep -i ivtv` [04:17] does anyone know how to boot smart boot manager as a bootloader? [04:17] i can render the 3d desktop, when my display loads well it works perfect [04:17] but sometimes, in a random boot [04:18] it displays an error "Ubuntu will load in low graphics mode..." [04:18] then i have to restart [04:18] so it will load correctly, a friend told me it was a bug in the kernel [04:18] hmm, i assume its shared memory? [04:18] momelod I get the the application is not reading fast enough.. and that all encoder YUV stream buffers full Dropping Data [04:18] mmm i yeah, im not sure but most probably [04:18] its a netbook, so... [04:19] what can you expect? xD [04:19] yeah [04:19] danielsevigny: here is some good reading about doing what you want to do: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/user-management.html [04:19] Hello. Is this an appropriate site for Ubuntu/Linux newbies, or is there another better suited? [04:19] im running a desktop with probably the same specs [04:19] DoctorLes: this is it. :) [04:19] Thanks! [04:19] I've seen that several times. The article on wiki about Polyinstantiation is only serving to confuse me more... [04:19] lol, with those specs im planning to change to kubuntu [04:20] DoctorLes, not a site, but a channel, and you can get help for all levels [04:20] but i like the sleekness of ubuntu :P [04:20] nemesis1911: all that is normal. i wonder tho if your vlc is not setup to use the correct sound device?

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 :) [04:20] mine is set to alsa default [04:20] Alan502, i read that apparently intel supports 3rd party OSs so im gonna check their site for drivers [04:20] nemesis1911: also try the mythbuntu support channel.. people there will have experience w/ your issue [04:20] momelod: I get avi's to play with vlc fine.. its just when I try to play back the capcard [04:21] thanks! but.. actually [04:21] momelod: thx for your time [04:21] ;-) [04:21] i think i have the drivers already, daerogami [04:21] I've tinkered with Linux and Ubuntu for a few years now but not steadily, so my knowledge is spotty and rusty. [04:21] nemesis1911: what if u `cat /dev/video1 > file.mpg` [04:21] ok i tried to get medi buntu but this is what i get when i try to do it from the "terminal": [04:21] vincent@Gigabyte:~$ sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/$(lsb_release -cs).list \ [04:21] > --output-document=/etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list && [04:21] > sudo apt-get -q update && [04:21] > sudo apt-get --yes -q --allow-unauthenticated install medibuntu-keyring && [04:21] > sudo apt-get -q update [04:21] pistyman1: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[04:22] i installed them the other day, researching i found https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ReinhardTartler/X/RevertingIntelDriverTo2.4 , daerogami [04:22] K [04:22] !karmic | DoctorLes [04:22] DoctorLes: 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 [04:23] nemesis1911: the present working directory .. or do cat /dev/video1 > /home/somplace/Desktop/test.mpg [04:23] momelod: same thing video.. and no sound [04:23] cool. Thanks [04:23] Alan502, is there a way to look up your Gfx card device info from ubuntu? [04:23] Consider the following path and user permissions /users(770)/tempuser(750)/ .Could this user still access programs found in other paths? MYSQL for instance? [04:24] cd /eggdrop [04:24] if users belongs to root and tempuser is the owner of tempuser [04:24] lol oops [04:24] yeah, glxinfo can do it i think, daerogami [04:24] nemesis1911: `file upirmpegfile.mpg` [04:24] danielsevigny: you should be able to safely set the permissions of user folders to 750 or in theory even 700 and they should be able to run fine [04:25] guys i have a sd misco hc card and its not working, but when i use a sd micro is does work in the same caddy, whats the issue? [04:25] daerogami: this is my glx description : Alan502, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ReinhardTartler/X/RevertingIntelDriverTo2.4 [04:25] is there a driver update for SD micro HC? [04:25] danielsevigny: chown -Rv 700 /home/username [04:25] daerogami, sorry, it is http://alanmorales.co.cc/glxi.txt [04:25] danielsevigny: or chown -Rv 750 /home/username === Root is now known as Guest22794 [04:25] !tab shane2peru the example path I gave would lock the user to that directory or could thy still access outside it?

[04:26] pistyman1: there are no * when u enter your password [04:27] oh yeah I forgot to ask this a while ago. How do you switch it so that the default user is root in the desktop version of ubuntu. (yeah it's a VM. I understand the risks). [04:27] ok.. [04:27] * evilaim dances * [04:27] ya, you all love it! [04:27] ADMNIT IT!

[04:27] btw, does anyone know how to make ubuntu work with full graphics on a VM, Virtual Box [04:27] Sirisian_, give root a password then you can log in as root (repeat - bad idea) [04:28] ah I found an article [04:28] niiiiiiice!! [04:28] I don't want them changing any other files either though. I don't want them to touch outside of the home directory I set for them without making them unable to execute programs and without affecting myself. === Guest22794 is now known as grturner [04:28] lots of shit is coming in [04:28] Alan502, install "Guest Additions" then configure 3d effects and slide the video memory to max.

[04:29] danielsevigny: you will have to read the article here: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/user-management.html IT seems to do exactly what you want to do. [04:29] ook [04:29] I've looked at that several times. I'll go reread it for the 5th time. maybe I'm missing something obvious [04:29] danielsevigny: I'm not really familiar with doing that, so I'm not really able to help you much [04:30] danielsevigny: it is going to have to be something more than just permissions I think. [04:30] hi all. ive got a general linux command line question. i want to restrict a user to his home directory, without him being able to view anything else. i only want him to have access to 1 command, or program. how do i do this? [04:30] hey [04:30] ryco, look into rbash [04:30] ryco: funny I was just talking to danielsevigny about that too. Here is an article to look into too: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/user-management.html [04:31] oh ok. ill look at that. im just giving a friend an account purely for irssi. [04:31] ryco if you find an answer that works for you I'd love to hear it! lol. So far permissions doesn't quite cut it. [04:31] i can't seem to figure this out, i have 9.04 and my keyboard is really laggin... i installd with acpi=off because of the intel chipset i have... is there any reason this woud be happening? if i reboot it will work fine for a whilee... [04:33] i am a newb btw === bucky_ is now known as bucky [04:34] is there an open ssh channel? [04:35] don't believe so [04:35] danielsevigny: there is.

[04:39] umm ok [04:39] mind you I have MSDN access to some programs [04:40] i mean when you go in the shop and get it ) [04:40] Hey everybody [04:40] anyone here familiar with scp? [04:40] danielsevigny -> what happend when you have the perms as 750 for the /home/username? [04:40] MSDN or not, why do people continue to the store and pay pocket money to get one? This... is something I'll never understand. :( [04:40] when i press my left mouse button it double clicks on my laptop on ubuntu 9.04 but when i tried it on a friends laptop with windows it works correctly-my mouse settings in ubuntu are ok--would this be a ubuntu problem ? [04:41] hey guys ok lol at me but shnutt happens i setup lamp and drupal on my box and didn't write down the pw for mysql and drupal and forgot then i removed drupal and mysql but still having issues [04:41] scp: secure copy over ssh [04:41] danielsevigny: Ask the real question. I know scp well. [04:41] can anyone help with my wireless adapter? [04:41] is the correct sequence file to copy user@computerisshfrom:filedestination? [04:41] do i need to purge mysql to kill the db and setup files so it re runs the setup [04:41] it doesnt recognise it like it doesnt show that i have it installed in the computer [04:41] I might need to clean that up [04:41] scp sourcefiles user@host:/path/to/destination [04:42] thanx [04:42] can anyone help me out, 8gb nano used to work but no longer shows up anywhere except hal ? === pete_ is now known as Guest67833 [04:42] I am working on a new box, I am the only user as of now. over the next few week I will be adding 3-4 users who will be helping with the development. I want to place some files in their /home/user directories HOWEVER I have not created the users... My question is this: can I create /home/username directories now and then latter just 'useradd' each user latter and will it then use the directories I make tonight? [04:42] I'm trying to create an mdadm array, but it says that /dev/sd* (* meaning the drives I'm using in the array) is being used. Any ideas? [04:42] bt_ -> which wifi card you have? which chip? sudo lshw -C network should indicate [04:42] danielsevigny: Folder? Do scp -r kittenWallpapers danielsevigny@ip:/home/Desktop/ [04:43] so if I'm on a mac and ssh'd to ubuntu server i'd do sourcefile myuser@mymac:~/Documents/ [04:43] I have [04:43] 802.11g PCI Turbo Wireless Adapter [04:43] !who | bt_ [04:43] bt_: As you can see, this is a large channel.

[04:43] cool thank you :) [04:44] im trying to write a sh file that will start apache2, is this correct sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 start [04:44] it keeps saying this when i try to run it sudo: ./start.sh: command not found [04:44] danielsevigny: You don't have to ssh in if you knew the ssh user/password will work firsthandedly. But yeah, you can do it. Or you can ssh in and scp right back to your IP. [04:44] n8tuser it doesnt even show that i have wireless network [04:44] im sure im doing something wrong, never done bash before [04:45] Bajang: make it executable. chmod +x yourfile [04:45] Bajang: if you install apache via apt-get/synaptic then it starts on boot [04:45] danielsevigny: I suppose it's best to ssh in, find it working, then quit. scp something to the server. Also, start using scp more and you'll understand this easily. It is easy tool too. [04:45] bt_ -> then you dont have the correct driver loaded for it, is the card even recognized? type dmesg and look for it in the list [04:45] i know it does, but i will be stoping it and stuff [04:45] so scp can't be used at same time as ssh [04:46] danielsevigny -> scp uses ssh underneath it [04:46] danielsevigny, it will depend on how sshd is configured - you can set concurrent connections in there i think [04:46] danielsevigny: No, you can ssh into the server many as you want. [04:46] right ZykoticK9. [04:47] so if I were to say create a file while in ssh i'd have to make a new terminal window for the scp for the file I want?

[04:51] n8tuser, guess its not worth stopping my transfer to find out [04:52] yep [04:52] grkblood13 -> rather it depends on the flag you used with rsync, if its first time or second time around [04:52] you have samba installed? [04:52] i used it earlier with winxp pro just fine [04:52] danielsevigny: What issue? Are you transferring big file? [04:52] nope. just txt.

Not too sure if nagios will pick it up or not.. I have a few clients running it but I do not have nmap installed on their servers... [05:07] I've had to restart, how do I prevent this from happening again? [05:07] timClicks -> you may need to write a script that includes tput to set colors and then include cat [05:07] iarp: Join #lvm for better support [05:07] leaf-sheep: ty [05:07] {NmE}, nagios might pick up what? [05:07] hello Gibdos [05:07] using it here on around 2k servers [05:07] ZykoticK9: yeah, I know - I was hoping to get something that would just be a fire and forget type of thing [05:07] <{NmE}> zachk_, download iso recorder, it is by far the best burner for windows :) [05:07] n8tuser: good idea [05:07] {NmE}, ah...i don't need help [05:08] <{NmE}> whatis6x9, will nagios see a nmap syn scan?

[05:09] I'm trying to create an mdadm array, but it says that /dev/sd* (* meaning the drives I'm using in the array) is being used, but df -l doesn't show them being used. Any ideas? [05:10] n8tuser, i use VirtualBox PEUL version for my VMs (one is desktop the other unr) run on my desktop + i have a eee running 9.10 (no virtualization here) [05:10] hello, what could be the reason of a missing section in amarok ("sound system configuration" where you select the engine) and no music play at all? [05:11] How do I prevent my system from getting stuck at a blanked screen again? [05:11] well i dont see anything about nagios picking that up [05:11] ZykoticK9 -> oh okay, at first i thought you were running the VMs on the eeepc [05:12] motoh -> on the grub use a default vga [05:12] <{NmE}> whatis6x9, n8tuser, Thats what I thought, isnt that the whole reason for the syn option in Nmap?! lol.. Anyway, if you run it against JUST the proxy you should be fine. [05:12] n8tuser I'm not sure what you mean. [05:12] hello, what is the default keymap file that runs on ubuntu?

[05:16] oops nevermind [05:16] <{NmE}> n8tuser, I use it a lot, but never in "stealth mode", from what I know about it you should be able to read the man pages and user the syn scan option [05:17] <{NmE}> whatis6x9, is my interwebs broke or was that just a link to nagios' site with no results for syn [05:17] <{NmE}> lol [05:17] ZykoticK9, here is the example: sudo lkl -l -k keymaps/en_km -o log.file [05:18] _celthunder, hey man!

[06:41] Ali_nz: all modern drives remap bad blocks automatically if they can. If you're still seeing bad blocks, that usually means the drive has failed to remap them. That's generally a bad sign that your drive is on its last legs... [06:41] MoralExpl: You can get a newer kernel version from the Ubuntu kernel PPA, they aren't supported and may not work with your video card drivers but there's no reason not to try [06:41] losha: so does badblocks detect remapped sectors or not? [06:42] First of all, the display resolution is way off, and secondly, the wlan utility is refusing to connect to our network now.

[06:44] tsukiyomi: np [06:44] tsukiyomi: Yes [06:44] Jordan_U: First of all, the display resolution is way off, and secondly, the wlan utility is refusing to connect to our network now. [06:44] well i hope it works [06:44] Ali_nz: No, the disk hides the fact that it has remapped the sectors. As I say, if you're actually seeing bad blocks on your filesystems, that usually means the drive has given up trying to conceal the defects, and it's a bad sign. You can look at the SMART data on your drive via smartmontools http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S.M.A.R.T. [06:44] pistyman : the same thing like you do when playing disc on WMP [06:45] will install it tomorrow see you awsome comunity have a good night / day whatever (: [06:45] PhantomLink[web]: "way off" like 800x600 and probably using vesa or another problem?

[06:47] Ali_nz: Next step is to use smartctl, or download and run the manufacturer's diagnostic disk...

I don't see how you could do it without having to at least boot a CD with AV software on it, and then update the definitions before running, given how quickly the virus stuff mutates. It'd connstantly be out of date. Sorry, I don't see a better solution than what you're already doing, unless it's one of those sites that claims to virus-scan you from their web-site. Dunno if they're reliable... [06:57] firefox keeps crashing on me.

[07:00] Rubik_: If you want fast boot up and that, yep clean install so you get nice Ext4 support, the Ext3 to Ext4 conversion probably won't be good enough [07:00] Ensure the security and settings are in sync for transfer of files from one distro to another... I had the same issue before. [07:00] yankees, can I do that in hardy? [07:01] ariqs: Just go to the website and get 3.5.3 tar.gz file :) I just did.

[07:07] damn [07:07] Stronze: cd ../disk [07:07] You can host VM's many ways though, and in most cases you can run VM's on a terminal computer. [07:07] where should I be for a functional request?

Anyone know what might be messing with that setting? [07:37] can you download a new copy of the package and extract it? [07:38] daz - almost 12am [07:38] whatever, g'nite. [07:38] daz - get some sleep [07:38] flyman, yea i've got both those installed, prior to compiling. it takes longer to do the make, but it still fails. and i've downloaded the newest 2.2.0.0 on several versions of ubuntu, always run into the same thing. [07:38] arrrghhh: what part fails? [07:38] I replaced /sbin/hdparm with a wrapper that logs each invocation, and whatever it is doesn't appear to be using hdparm. Any other utils commonly used to change that setting? (this is with ubuntu 9.04) [07:39] flyman, the "sudo make" part. error 2, with i'm sure a bunch of other errors. [07:39] when does ubuntu 9.10 come out??? [07:39] arrrghhh: is their a config file inside? [07:40] TuNiX: soon. === YDdraigGoch is now known as Richie [07:40] sometimes you need to ./configure to make a config file to make from [07:40] flyman, i edit a config.mk, but i'm honestly very poor at compiling by hand. i can never figure out why it fails! [07:40] googling finds lots of people complaining "ubuntu is killing my hard drive", but nothing that helps. Everything in /etc/laptop-mode/ looks fine.

What made you decide that this would be a good setting for reducing disk accesses. I would have though it meant the opposite? FWIW, I use -S do spin down my unaccessed drives, but that seems pointless on a system disk... [07:49] I try to run Aptana from command line and get this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/294439/ [07:49] Can anyone help? :) [07:49] losha, I think hdparm -B 254 basically means "don't spin the drive down to save energy" [07:49] hey all, what does it mean if you go to install ubuntu and no partitions show up in the part where you are supposed to deal with what partitions you want? [07:50] arrrghhh: can you run lspci/lsusb and tell me what chipset is being used? [07:50] flyman, sure. [07:50] gerald: that's what I think hdparm -S 0 means. I'm frankly not sure what -B does. And you seem to be just guessing... [07:50] I wouldn't mind if the drive spun down at some reasonable interval of non-use (as intended, especially when running on battery power), but up/down several times per min is just wrong [07:50] flyman, 148f:3070 Ralink Technology, Corp.

[08:10] edulacomadreja: so, what is the problem you're having? You haven't explained in the past ten lines, and I've got a -ENOMINDREAD [08:10] flyman, it does, but says i fail to authenticate. [08:10] im guessing you never setup the root password [08:10] iceroot, boot* [08:10] Viking667: I have this script http://coquizadora.com/fecha.html [08:10] thats ok [08:11] Viking667: -ENOMINDREAD :-) [08:11] could anybody walk me thru the connect to server to another pc thru ethernet? [08:11] !root | arrrghhh [08:11] arrrghhh: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [08:11] out put:http://pastebin.com/m519bec17 [08:11] http://pastebin.com/m519bec17 [08:11] losha, I just found -Z in the hdparm man page, and that seems to have fixed my problem (my drive is a seagate, though not the model mentioned in the man page) [08:11] Viking667: so if i run it with /etc/init.d/fecha start it works [08:12] Jordan_U, yea, i realize that. someone was asking me to authenticate as root instead of using sudo. [08:12] si... [08:12] sorry, yes... [08:12] gerald: cool. I guess you own all those google posters a post of your own then... [08:12] gerald: own -> owe [08:12] yeah :) [08:12] >hablas espanlol Viking667? [08:12] edulacomadreja: personally I would have used English, not Spanish... but okay. [08:12] !es | Doc_Lappy [08:12] Doc_Lappy: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [08:12] output of dmesg | egrep sd : http://pastebin.com/m519bec17 [08:12] Doc_Lappy: naah. Just one or two words. [08:12] what next [08:12] iceroot, even odder is that it says "ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), statically linked, not stripped" on it. Not sure if you're there. [08:13] oh well, i'm spanish so... [08:13] jejeje [08:13] iceroot, I mean when I run "file" [08:13] sid1monu: very good, I see the 500GB drive is /dev/sda. Next, run sudo fdisk -l <-- that's a lower case L [08:13] edulacomadreja: anyhow, what issue are you having? [08:13] in the spanish channel there are only 40 people, 3 of them chatting about the weather [08:13] when I try to remove all KDE packages vlc,wine and virtualbox are automatically added to the list of programs to be removed, why? [08:13] ok, i'm sure that the script works [08:14] _not_ with ubuntu-es, what's the problem with the script? [08:14] but... [08:14] trijntje: You are removing all qt packages, not just all KDE packages [08:14] output: http://pastebin.com/m6e53eb1e [08:14] trijntje: do they have 'installed automatically' flag? [08:14] k well does puto mean "b*tch" en espanol? it means i think in latin and just wondering? And can anybody help me get a connection betwixt my two pcs, on ubuntu the other win 7 [08:15] need help with alacarte, using the main menu editor tool, I accidentally deleted the preferences, so System>preferences won't show up in the panel anymore, how recover it? [08:15] on startup it runs (cuz i tried "echo 'hola' > /hola" before the while loop and it wrote it) [08:15] Jordan_U, but how, if vbox etc are not in the list of programs I tell apt to remove? [08:15] Lint, i dont know, how can i check? [08:15] tipi: try reset to defaults [08:15] but then it stops [08:15] all i want to do is file share thru an ehernet connextion which i had working with winxp and win 7 earlier today but can't get it to work on ubuntu :( [08:15] Doc_Lappy: which type of connection is of interest? [08:15] flyman, any ideas? [08:16] I have a Microsoft Comfort Optical Mouse 3000 and I am trying to get all the buttons working. Instructions I find say to modify the InputDevice section of my xorg.conf file but there is no InputDevice section...where do I make the changes? [08:16] trijntje: I am guessing that you are removing qt, which is what all KDE apps use but also what VLC and Virtualbox use [08:16] trijntje: in Synaptic, in Package menu [08:16] trijntje: Do you know what dependencies are? [08:16] lilzeus: you create one... man page for xorg.conf [08:16] either one of the connect to server or the network [08:16] arrrghhh: it seems a lot of people have the same issue running the newer kernel and tying to compile on it with this driver. However, people are having success using backports [08:16] sid1monu: also good, it sees an NTFS volume on /dev/sda1. Let's try and mount it: repeat after me: sudo mkdir /mnt/spare; sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/spare [08:16] Jordan_U, yes [08:16] edulacomadreja: at what stage does it stop? Before the nc or after the nc? [08:16] Jordan_U: vlc technically uses wx, which can integrate qt or gtk === Guest35588 is now known as fsih3489543 [08:17] flyman, i installed backports. do i need to reboot? [08:17] even on other linux distros people are having the exact issue with this kernel [08:17] Jordan_U, so I should keep all packages related to Qt? [08:17] Viking667: will I need to restart? [08:17] flyman, i've tried a buncha different kernels. do i need to reboot after the backports install? someone else suggested that as well. [08:18] lstarnes: Nope, strait qt since 0.9 [08:18] arrrghhh: im sure it wouldn't hurt to try. It is possible something may not have gotten adapted. [08:18] i really don't know, but i guess that it stops trying to use the nc [08:18] Restart the X server, probably [08:18] edulacomadreja: hm. So you don't know either. [08:18] flyman, i just don't know what i need to do to enable the backports after installing them. assuming that it worked. [08:18] reboot time, brb. [08:18] Hi, I'm having some trouble accessing shared folders from windows computers [08:18] Viking667: how do I do that? [08:18] darn. I have to depart. [08:18] lilzeus: log out, wait for a new login === shrini__ is now known as shrini [08:18] That _should_ do it [08:18] arrrghhh: I think after a reboot it should be automatically adapted. [08:18] hi scandragon i'm having the same problem [08:19] trijntje: The easiest thing to do would probably be to just add vlc vbox etc back afterward, configuration files are saved so you shouldn't lose anything by reinstalling them [08:19] nope, but i also tried writing to a file in the loop instead of the nc line [08:19] sigh... whois 4.7.33 has an error in it's make file... [08:19] I mean, in worse worse case, always can use ndiswrapper [08:19] I miss Ctrl+Alt+backspace [08:19] edulacomadreja: and? [08:19] The1Joebob: you do know there's a "dontzap" command in Ubuntu? [08:19] All I get is "Can't get share list from server" (or something like that, as it's in danish) [08:19] (or is that only in Mandriva?) [08:19] I do, actually [08:19] Galexcd: bummer... [08:19] What's a simple stupid video editor similar to Windows Movie Maker for Ubuntu? [08:20] I need to put it back on my eeepc [08:20] hi [08:20] yeah [08:20] !hi encrypted [08:20] Sorry, I don't know anything about hi encrypted [08:20] nope. There's a dontzap on Ubuntu, just not Mandriva. [08:20] !hi | encrypted [08:20] encrypted: 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! [08:20] Jordan_U, I was planning on removing the configs too, but I guess ill keep them. Thanks for your help! [08:20] Galexcd: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/primary/+files/whois_4.7.34.tar.gz [08:20] The1Joebob: try "dontzap --disable" as root, then try Ctl-Alt-Backspace [08:20] trijntje: You can remove configs also with --purge [08:20] Galexcd: this could go on all night... [08:21] Lint: thanks for your help, i'll just reinstall those packages afterwards [08:21] no test file wrote at all... [08:21] Jordan_U, I know, but then I lose all my wine and vbox configs too [08:21] Viking667: i'll try /etc/rc.local [08:21] edulacomadreja: then something is wrong with how you think those scripts are executed. [08:21] * losha sid1monu went off-line? Or crashed accessing the ntfs volume? [08:21] Viking667: that's for sure! [08:22] Loafers: I have heard good things about PiTivi, but it's still in development [08:22] ... and as I don't know the Ubuntu way of running scripts, I can't offer much more than that. [08:22] Viking667: I'm aware. I've done that. That doesn't mean I can't miss that it's no longer standard :P [08:22] Jordan_U, Thanks, I'll check it out [08:22] Anyone knows how to get the smb client workin properly on Jaunty? [08:22] you may strike exactly the same problem with /usr/local/etc... [08:22] !samba | scandragon [08:22] scandragon: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments.

[08:23] I used to (long ago, in the very late nineties) slip a 320x240 modeline into my XF86Config, and play nighthawk that way, fullscreen. [08:24] ugh. still no go flyman [08:24] Viking667: that would really help on my eeepc. mess up the resolution and the screen becomes useless D: [08:24] arrrghhh: I am going to find a way, even if we have to use ndiswrapper [08:24] * losha ok, bedtime... [08:24] flyman, yea, i was thinking about ndiswrapper. haven't given that a whole lot of time/effort as of yet. [08:25] well cause it can be a good and bad thing [08:25] if we don't have to, great but its looking more like we might [08:25] flyman, yea, i'd rather use a linux native driver. i shouldn't have bought this usb dongle is what it boils down to. [08:25] The1Joebob: lol. yeah. [08:26] arrrghhh: but this is half the fun of new hardware, to make it work [08:26] i read a post somewhere, a guy got the card working flawlessly with ndiswrapper, but had to use a slightly older .inf and .sys file. [08:26] arrrghhh: If you're having wireless problems ( especially with ralink ) try linux-backports-modules or the latest kernel from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ [08:26] flyman, yea, and it was cheap. [08:26] Jordan_U, i just installed the backports modules, do i have to do anything else? i just rebooted, same issue. [08:27] right. Time I spun off for a nighthawk. [08:27] arrrghhh: No [08:28] - [08:29] ce_zha [08:29] Viking667: are you still there? [08:29] Jordan_U, well i guess i'll give 2.6.32_rc4 a shot...

[08:37] do anybody else know any application for connecting laptop to projector or tv [08:37] hello [08:38] flyman, Jordan_U, still no go... i'm on 2.6.32_rc4 now as well. heck, it's actually worse in this kernel. sigh. [08:38] albasheers: shouldnt need a program, just connect it and go to system -> preferences -> display and configure it [08:38] maybe i'll try ndiswrapper tomorrow. er today. i think it's bedtime for now. thanks for the help tho guys! [08:38] Is it possible and if yes how do I change the password for my harddrive encryption? I encrypted my whole harddrive (well, almost so) during installation. [08:38] TinSamich: I tried that but I am getting black and white display on tv [08:39] scandragon, I know nothing about samba, but you are giving very little information. What version of ubuntu are you using, what version of samba, how do you try to connect to the shared folder, etc etc [08:39] albasheers: hit the detect displays n such? [08:39] MonsieurBon: cool [08:39] need help with alacarte, using the main menu editor tool, I accidentally deleted the preferences, so System>preferences won't show up in the panel anymore, how recover it?

[08:41] hi, i'm needing some help with sed and bash... is anyone here able to help? It's kinda complicated... [08:42] why do the kernels in grub has an initrd? Why doesn't the kernels made with make have one of those. When you run update-grub and it installs the kernels by writing into menu.lst it doesn't add any initrd line for the new kernel. That file seems to be important since I can't boot a kernel without it [08:42] have* [08:42] JasseT: I already tried to change setting on tv but no use [08:42] MonsieurBon: password in system or hardware? [08:43] nathan7266, don't ask for help. ask your question. i've just been meddling with sed yesterday, so I might be able to help. What's the problem? [08:43] albasheers1: the laptop also probably has quick keys (fn+something) for adjusting the picture, are those any use? [08:43] encrypted, password for the harddrive encryption. [08:43] JasseT: function are working on xp but not on ubuntu [08:44] albasheers1: how old is the TV u are using? [08:45] it is new , with xp it is working [08:45] MonsieurBon: I'm usually success if using the encrypted HDD for running. sorry for try another HDD for running and opening the encrypted HDD. [08:46] albasheers1: try going to system -> prefs -> appearance and setting it to low to see what happens [08:48] ok [08:48] is firefox 3.5 available for hardy? [08:48] need help with alacarte, using the main menu editor tool, I accidentally deleted the preferences, so System>preferences won't show up in the panel anymore, how recover it? [08:49] hey I recently switched back to linux after running osx for a few years where I fell in love with quicksilver. I'm currently looking for a linux equivalent that handles context switching [08:49] encrypted, I don't understand, what you're trying to tell me.... [08:49] If not then you can download 3.5 and tweak .bashrc to run ff-3.5 as default. [08:49] I've played around with gnome-do, but you can switch back to previous applications which for me was the best feature of quicksilver, it allowed me to use muscle memory to switch between applications rather than having to look at the alt-tab windows [08:50] thermal_: tryed with "apt-cache search quicksilver" ib terminal to find an alt ? [08:50] does anyone know of a linux quicksilver equivalent that will allow context switching? [08:50] well there definitely isn't a quicksilver port [08:50] and doing an apt-cache search returns only gnome-do [08:51] Hmm... [08:51] can someone take a loog a these log entries and tell me what's going on? I was NOT on my machine at all when these errors were logged: http://paste.ubuntu.com/294474/ [08:51] Tryed using conext switching with apt-cache ? [08:51] gnome-do is nice for launching apps, but really I want to jump back and forth [08:51] I want to switch between my current vim, terminal and firefox windows [08:51] is there some way that i can configure my xorg.conf to gracefully handle me switching back and forth in the bios between the discrete ATi chip in my machine and the intel integrated graphics? [08:51] hrmm... let me check that out [08:51] If window switching then use alt-tab or custom keybindings. [08:52] yeah I might try and setup some custom keybindings [08:52] i just had a very unpleasant experience figuring out how to hackily unlock my root password just so that i could fix xorg.conf and boot back to gdm... [08:52] I run fluxbox on my systems and using custom keybindings and it works great. [08:52] mgmuscari: We all have been there before.... [08:53] Ugh, learning at first is a pain but great once you have it working. [08:53] Bluey: that just looks like memory swap stuff... [08:53] MonsieurBon: that why I'm use my nick encrypted. hard to touch again. [08:53] mgmuscari: so nothing to worry about? [08:53] I really don't like using alt tab to switch between apps when I'm coding, it completely breaks my concentration, as little of a difference as looking at an alt-tab list sounds, I've found that it does make a huge difference in concentration compared to having a direct set of keys that my fingers automatically know for switching to an app [08:53] argh [08:54] Bluey: where's that coming from? if you're worried that someone is "hacking" your system, i would say probably not... [08:54] no I've never seen this in the log that's all [08:55] I just downloaded the source code for gnome launch box and quicksilver tonight [08:55] gnome launch box is similar but hasn't been touched basically since it was released [08:56] Bluey: i just see a bunch of swap diagnostics here [08:56] and while gnome-do is on the right track, the fact that it is written in C# is a big turnoff for working on it [08:56] mgmuscari: okay i am headed off to bed then -- my thanks.... [08:56] hello, my email client want to store my pass in keyring manager. when i agree and check the save password box in System -> Administration -> Keyring Manager appeared my record with the password. when i check the box show password it shows. what is the point of this. can i make this viewable only if you type the user pass? [08:56] Bluey: have a nice night [08:57] how do I get firefox 3.5 on hardy? [09:00] anyone can help with my question? [09:01] asfjio: ask quesrtion [09:02] mistrynitesh: add the moziilla team ppa [09:02] hello, my email client want to store my pass in keyring manager. when i agree and check the save password box in System -> Administration -> Keyring Manager appeared my record with the password. when i check the box show password it shows. what is the point of this. can i make this viewable only if you type the user pass? [09:02] indus: this was my question. [09:02] I was dual booting with Win7 and Debian. I booted into Ubuntu 9.04 and went to install it. I deleted my 3 Debian partitions and created a new swap and root parition for Ubuntu and installed (all partitions for Win and Ubuntu are on the same HD). Now after it finished installing I'm sitting at "GRUB loading, please wait .... Error 17" [09:03] asfjio, your password is stored in the keyring manager. Of course it can't be stored as a hash value because it has to be available for the system to use. Usually you have to unlock the keyring with your password once per session. [09:04] mistrynitesh: https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/ppa [09:05] MonsieurBon: the only unlock was do you want to allow -> "deny", "allow once", "allow all" and no asking for my pass. [09:05] hii, can someone help me? === dexter_ is now known as dexter [09:06] !ask | sabag [09:06] sabag: 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. :-) [09:06] !ask | sabag [09:06] ah, beat me to it [09:06] after installing ubunutu via webi i have one HD less, I can see him on fdisk but not in places [09:07] its most likely not mounted or something nasty happened [09:07] MonsieurBon: any solution? is the problem in my keyring manager? [09:07] asfjio, maybe your password was stored. If you open Synaptic you have to enter the password. If you close it and open it again => no password is asked. So maybe you just entered your password for something a short time before. [09:07] asfjio, I don't think there's a problem. [09:07] sabag: check under /etc/host [09:07] it is wirking, he has PX on him [09:08] asfjio, you could try to log out and log in again and then access your keyring and see if a password is asked.

[09:12] i currently connect using terminal server client, but wating on an entire gui is uberlag [09:13] asfjio, hum, strange... maybe the keyring is automatically unlocked with login? Is there an option where you could set that? [09:14] MonsieurBon: where do i need to search for such an option? [09:14] asfjio, I don't know. I don't have kde... [09:14] MonsieurBon: i use gnome.

[09:19] indus: the browser can't go thare [09:19] there [09:19] asfjio, yes, I googled it! :-) Now I see what you mean. No password asked for me there too.... Doesn't seem to be an error. I have no idea how to change that.... i think it's unlocked with login. [09:20] twisted: what kind of admin is that?! [09:20] twisted: you'll need some sort of VPN server setup. OpenVPN is just awesome and free. [09:21] the vpn is up and running, 2003 server, several people log in daily and use it... windows people [09:21] i just gotta get logged in from ubuntu [09:21] what VPN server though, it depends if it has a linux client [09:22] the built in vpn server from microsoft [09:22] Hello.

[09:25] yes [09:25] stanley: and perhaps one for the other OS :) [09:26] ive been trying with gnome network manager, i installed the pptp client and configured it. connection fails, but the error log isnt helping me, cryptic [09:28] will buntu run well on 2.4g...8kb L1....512 L2....256 rdram....60 hd? [09:28] yes [09:28] !requirements | Balsaq [09:28] Balsaq: Hardware requirements to install, boot and comfortably use Ubuntu are listed at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements - For a !flavor with lower requirements, see !Xubuntu [09:28] the 256 scaresme [09:29] does the 512 L2 cache work with the 256 rdram to make it feel like 768 ram? [09:30] Balsaq: It should run, although the recommended memory is 384Mb, so its likely to be quite slow [09:30] i thought so...was wondering if the 512 L2 make up for it [09:30] Balsaq no L2 using cpu cache... ram.. [09:31] bummer-rdram is really expensive [09:31] dang puter is only worth 50 bucks [09:31] is like L1+L2+L3=total ram.. but "L" means how priority level ram is it L1 fast L2 slower L3 slowest.. [09:32] use swaping if u have low ram... <256 [09:32] hmmm...what is that [09:33] swaping [09:33] !swap | Balsaq [09:33] Balsaq: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info [09:33] swap like hdd-ram if ram using full then swaping means ram->ram-hdd->ram is putting ram files to hdd if it full.. [09:33] Is it possible and if yes how do I change the password for my harddrive encryption? I encrypted my whole harddrive (well, almost so) during installation with the alternate cd. [09:33] yes... [09:33] He'd just have to disable the pretty eyecandy [09:34] but i using Truecrypt use /home folder is faster crypt files.. [09:34] Balsaq: It might be worth you having a look at xubuntu which has lower hardware requirements than ubuntu, that may be an alternative solution [09:34] !xubuntu | Balsaq [09:34] Balsaq: Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of !GNOME.

[09:39] asfjio, I'm not using kerberos, and the behaviour is exactly the same here. So I don't think kerberos is doing this. I suppose that gnome unlocks your keyring once you're logged in. [09:40] some know is normal process console-kit-daemon using 60+ thears ? [09:40] hi everyone [09:40] hey, anybody knows what is the default TCP windows size for windows XP and ubuntu OS ?

One even claims that it now can make you a sandwich (without a sudo!). For more discussions and/or supports, see #ubuntu+1 [09:43] leaf-sheep: haha :) thanks. Will i be able to upgrade from 9.04 or will it need a fresh install?? [09:44] stanley: Both will work. It's all up to you. [09:44] asfjio, I think so. At least it seems to be the default behaviour. I don't know if you can change it somehow.... [09:44] how much 9.04 needs hhd upgradeing ? [09:44] hey all [09:45] anyone here worked with drqueue? [09:46] MonsieurBon: thanks.

[11:08] mechdave, also, before we do that, i have a USB modem that i sometime unplug and take with me. every time i unplug it and plug it back in i have to redo my routing tables... is there a way to make this automatic?

[11:09] :-D\ [11:10] David_aka_theSAI: exactly what distro are you using [11:11] kmosh: If you've just joined the freenode network, its normal see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#freenodeconnect [11:11] kmosh: It's just freenode that asks what irc-client and version you are using. Irssi responds automatically unless you disable it. I'm guessing it gets used for statistics. [11:11] kmosh: it's a way for someone to ask what irc client you're using [11:12] kmosh: you can do it yourself too... /ctcp Slart version will tell you what client I'm using... or /ctcp Slart time will tell you the time I've got on my system.. don't abuse it though.. it can be considered rude to go aroudn poking people === root is now known as Guest13965 [11:13] I have a usb sound card that works under oss, but not under alsa, but alsa detects it, I think, is there a way to get it to work under either alsa or pulse? [11:14] hello [11:14] azlon, look at man interfaces to help you understand what we will do to save your routing table [11:14] niadh: is it listed when you run "cat /proc/asound/cards"? [11:15] hi ther ikonia the version of eBOX is v1.2.1 [11:15] mechdave, reading [11:16] Slart: I believe so, a USB sound card shows up there and it's the only external USB sound card I have, so baring my motherboard doing something weird with internal sound cards I can only assume it's the case [11:16] David_aka_theSAI: no - what's the version of ubuntu you are using, or where did you get the cd you used to install ? [11:17] azlon, ok we need to add your gateway address to ppp0 by using the gateway XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX [11:17] azlon, to /etc/network/interfaces [11:17] mechdave, ok [11:18] niadh: webcams might show up as sound cards as well (if they have a built in microphone).. but anyways.. if it shows up in that list it should be usable by alsa.. there might be driver problems though that prevent it from working though.. or configuration problems.. the easiest way, if you ask me, would be to google for +ubuntu +YOUR_SOUND_CARD [11:18] mechdave, i have 2 lines in there right now, "auto lo" and "iface lo inet loopback" [11:18] mechdave, should i add "gateway 192.168.0.1"? [11:18] niadh: and see if someone else has had the same problems.. it might just be that you need to wait for a new version of alsa.. or it could be as simple as changing a couple of characters in a config file.. hard to tell without knowing more [11:18] er [11:19] azlon, are you running 9.04 or 9.10? [11:19] mechdave, 9.04 [11:19] what's up !!! ... [11:20] Slart: This is the one I got, the customer feedback says it works, and I can output the test sound under oss, but now to find out what it's called [11:20] http://www.ebuyer.com/product/106540 [11:20] azlon, Hmmm... does eth1 and eth0 exist? ifconfig will tell you [11:20] mechdave, i have eth0, eth1 and ppp0 [11:21] niadh: try running "lsusb" in a terminal.. there should be a usb id nbr for it there.. something like 0123:5678 [11:22] azlon, Ok... this is strange... I don't understand [11:22] niadh: that number identifies the usb device.. it's very common for posts, for example in the ubuntu forums, to have this number listed somewhere.. so googling for it usually works === LeNsTR|away is now known as LeNsTR [11:22] mechdave, i have 2 NICs (eth0 and eth1) and one usb modem (ppp0). internet is coming from ppp0 and i want it to be shared with my lan (eth1) [11:22] Slart: Well the chip set is written in tiny tiny writing on the box, so I tried that, the first hit was a pulse audio wiki entry for ubuntu I think [11:23] azlon: you need to enable IPv4 forwarding [11:23] does anyone know how to switch focus in gnome to an app with a given pid? [11:23] niadh: ah.. no other hits? [11:24] Slart: Oh yeah, but am encourage that the wiki is the first entry [11:24] lupine_85, ICS is working... i just want routing to always have ppp0 as the default route with the USB modem is plugged in. when i unplug it and plug it back in i have to rebuild my routes === yohan is now known as jetpil14 [11:24] however it might be that it's manufactured by asound and it's that that's being matched with the results [11:24] ah, well. NetworkManager is awful at managing routes [11:24] lupine_85, oh yeah, and since i enabled ICS yesterday my samba shares stopped working [11:24] azlon, I understand what you need, I am just a little confused with the /etc/network/interfaces [11:24] hi is there a irc channel for ubuntu netbook remix [11:24] !irc | phimic [11:24] phimic: A list of official Ubuntu IRC channels, as well as IRC clients for Ubuntu, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat - For a general list of !freenode channels, see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#channellist - See also !Guidelines [11:24] phimic, this is it [11:25] anyone have any ideas? having trouble finding anything with google [11:25] it keeps giving me spurious routes to all kinds of places, based on who knows what [11:25] mechdave, oh... want me to paste my routes and interfaces? [11:26] azlon, ok we are going to add a entry to /etc/network/interfaces, yes that would be good thanks :) [11:26] Hey people. I have an ubuntu live cd for the powerpc.

I've never had a sound card show up in alsa but not in pulseaudio.. [11:33] is there a way to make it so when i remove a program it automatically deletes the .folder in my home folder? [11:34] Slart: I might not be using padevchooser right though, but in all the tabs etc I didn't see the word USB or recognise the ID string [11:34] jerknextdoor: try using "completely remove" or apt-get purge [11:34] hey guys, how do I change the default screen used by ubuntu before the system is booted?

[11:35] Slart: I'd give it up as useless, if it were not for the fact I can play the test sound under oss through it [11:35] I know how to modify the Xorg configuration to use a different screen, but I don't use a graphical installation [11:35] jerknextdoor: if you start up synaptic you can select "residual config" in one of the filters on the left side.. then you'll see software that still has some extra files left behind.. and also remove those extra files [11:36] Slart: oh yeah. i remember that from something else i did. i forgot that existed. i'll hit that up. thanks [11:36] is there any simple logs pages for VLC?

[11:39] littlefish: I would say it qualifies as "ubuntu-related" =) [11:39] greetings [11:39] mechdave, whoa... ok so i do "sudo iptables-save iptables.rules" and something for bash shbang... then how do i make it executable? [11:39] when i open mysql ,and type create database name [11:39] Slart: Launched banshee cleanly after setting all sound options to be the USB device in oss mode, and banshee plays through the card [11:40] azlon: you need to redirect the output to iptables.rules : iptables-save > iptables.rules [11:40] niadh: oh.. yay [11:40] and then "Access denied for user ''@ locallhost" [11:40] azlon, hang about for 5 mate... can you pastebin all the route commands to make your route work? [11:40] what's the problem ? [11:41] Slart: No way to control the volume, so I got deafened but it's a start [11:41] mechdave, http://pastebin.com/d3a926326 [11:41] is there anyway to see why my new ubuntu install is dragging tail? i upgraded form a p3-1ghz/384mb of ram to p4 2.4ghz/1gb ram both intel... firefox esp is the slowest [11:41] how can solve? [11:42] hi [11:42] littlefish: sounds like a permission problem.. me and mysql isn't even sending each other christmas cards any more so I can't really help you further.. perhaps someone else in here knows.. I'm pretty sure there is a mysql channel somewhere as well.. perhaps #mysql [11:42] anyone here expert with dhcp? [11:42] niadh: "to much sound" is an easier problem to solve than "no sound" =) [11:42] sieggie, best to just ask your question [11:42] Slart: Don't think the card will work with wine applications, but I suppose it's a good start [11:42] thanks Slart [11:42] Slart: there are several things that synaptic didnt catch. i should have no problem just deleting them by hand right? === EcKstasy is now known as JNSamuel [11:43] does anyone use netbeans 6.7.1 under karmic ? I can't manage to create a new project. It either says that the destination directory already exists or that it doesn't. [11:43] littlefish: you're welcome [11:43] Slart: It has a hardware volume button that ubuntu tries to lower the volume with, but although the volume slider goes down, the volume doesn't actually change [11:43] my question is this, is there a way that i can make the leased ip address to be available say after 2 days? [11:43] ahunor, #ubuntu+1 for karmic [11:43] thx, sry === exe is now known as Guest98794 [11:44] http://nonoba.com/chris/multiplayer-asteroids/multiplayer-asteroids-battle9 [11:44] jerknextdoor: I can't imagine that there would be a problem deleting config files for software that isn't installed any more.. but perhaps.. just to be sure.. move the files somewhere else.. reboot.. see if anything explodes.. if it's ok then you can remove them [11:44] jony123, was there a question related to that link? [11:44] jony123: Please don't do that [11:44] for example, PC1 got address A, after the lease time expires, ip address A will not be available for the next 2 days... [11:44] Slart: that was my next step. thanks. [11:45] niadh: try messing around with the other sliders in the gnome volume control.. see if it reacts to one of them [11:45] sieggie, unwatched you mean? [11:45] DJones: Sorry very good game though [11:45] bazhang: Nope [11:45] Slart: Am doing, I have however noticed it's not detecting the sound card as a valid default mixer track [11:46] sieggie, please keep it in channel; more eyes to address the problem [11:46] sieggie: I'm not sure but I don't think that's how dhcp does it.. say there are no free addresses left.. should the new computer that is requesting an address just get a "no" ? isn't it better to give it an address that isn't currently used= [11:49] yo yo yo [11:49] hi bazhang and Slart: there will always be free address, it's just that for this particular group here in our office, it requires that the ip address of each computer should be refreshed with new ones after say 2 hours...we will be alotting big block of ip address to them... [11:49] so it's like this...for the first two hours there is a set A, set B for the next hour, so on and so forth...

[12:22] Slart: you could have: EDITOR="gksudo gedit" you can then run: $EDITOR file [12:22] mechdave, there is no .sh, its just set-route... want me to add a .sh?

[14:02] on my desktop, most of the time, mouse clicks won't work. It won't detect mouse clicks, and some other time single click is counted as double click. so mouse is Totally un usable and frustrating:) i tried changing from ps/2 mouse to usb mouse and the same problem remains. what can i do? [14:02] caution: if you have < 3Gb ram and just want a desktop, 32bit is fine, if you have > 3Gb ram and/or want to do audio/video encoding then 64bit will give a boost [14:02] mechdave, http://paste.ubuntu.com/294671/ [14:03] Please look into my issue: http://paste.ubuntu.com/294670/ [14:03] ActionParsnip: what's the disadvantage of 64bit on <3GB ram? [14:03] you can use > 3GB with 32 bits :) [14:03] anyone can help me please? [14:03] mechdave, i flushed the tables, added the ICS info, then wasnt able to ping google. i dropped eth1 and was able to ping google. brought eth1 back up, changed my routes and was able to ping google, but then my iptables were crazy again [14:03] sudo apt-get install ffmpeg [14:03] caution, nothing special to the ram size, you could require 32 bits only closed source apps [14:03] caution: nothing, 64bit can simply address a greater pool of ram, 32bit can address ~3.2Gb, 64bit can address 4 exabytes [14:04] ActionParsnip, you can use > 3GB with 32 bits using PAE, you can't just do it with for a single process [14:04] what's the speed difference like between 9.04 and 8.04? [14:04] caution: it will also allow you to upgrade past 4Gb (if you mobo supports it) without need for a reinstall [14:04] Thanx NIko47 [14:05] caution, you can't compare releases like that [14:05] joaopinto: yeah ive seen pae, i think its a bit ungraceful, but is an option [14:05] twitlive [14:05] np [14:05] azlon, what you need to do is flush your iptables, set up the ICS and then set your route without taking down any interfaces [14:06] rc.local put "ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.0.1" [14:06] mechdave, when i set up the new tables (after i flush them) i cannot ping anything until i take down eth1 and bring it back up. my routes are already set correctly after i do the ICS stuff [14:07] azlon, something is wrong here [14:07] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing setup [14:08] azlon, what happens if you set route first? [14:08] mechdave, set route, then flush the tables then add ICS? same results [14:08] hi i use cherrypy on jaunty and cannot find cherryd is, can someone help we with thtat [14:08] Why is the default theme always named Human, wouldn't it make sense to name it differently each time? this way it would be possible to find and install previous themes.. [14:08] are there any kernel options I can pass to the LiveCD on boot to use a NFS direcetory instead of the cdrom? [14:09] azlon, I am going to have to do some reading, I suggest you go to http://netfilter.org/documentation/index.html#documentation-howto and look at the docs as well... start with the first one called networking concepts [14:09] niko47: modprobe usb? 'module not found' [14:10] kane77: submit it as an idea on http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com [14:10] azlon, and work you way through the docs [14:10] mechdave, ok i will have to read them at work tomorrow... thanks for your help [14:10] azlon, I have to go to bed and it has done my head in too :( [14:11] azlon, sorry I couldn't fix it tonight [14:11] modprobe usbhid [14:11] mechdave, ok i will see you on sunday... its all good man thanks [14:11] hi everyone [14:11] azlon, no worries cya [14:12] Would like to know is there anyway to use Thunderbird to download email from yahoo mail and view it offline + backup ?

[14:12] niko47: that loaded, there's nothing about my sd card though (in dmesg) [14:12] If Thunderbird can't download ,which other email client can do it ? [14:12] thank you :) [14:13] modprobe usb-uhci|modprobe usb-ohci|modprobe usb-storage try this [14:13] SoPy, cherrypy is not a regular daemon, please check it's docs [14:13] http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/usb-drive-not-being-recognized-under-linux/ same link..

[14:14] niko47: usb-storage loaded, the other 2 werent found, and there's still nothing about my sd card though (in dmesg) [14:15] iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -m multiport -s 192.168.0.x --destination-ports 445,135,136,137,138,139 -j ACCEPT [14:15] joaopinto: cherryd should be a part of this pkg its a feature of cpyv3 [14:15] u need install usb-uhci and usb-ohci.. [14:16] SoPy, I am using cherrypy, I am not familiar with cherryd [14:16] joaopinto: any idea, how i can get it to my ubuntu box in spite of it is broken? [14:16] niko47: it used to work, where would those modules have gone? [14:17] my samba shares stopped after i setup ics... how can i fix this? [14:17] SoPy, there is no "cherryd" on the original cherrypy3 source, so I have no idea what are you refering to [14:17] http://www.cherrypy.org/browser/trunk/cherrypy/cherryd [14:18] azlon: sudo /etc/init.d/samba start [14:18] SoPy, that's trunk, not a release version [14:18] it is also in the source [14:18] oh wait [14:18] got the wrong source [14:19] sorry :P === richardc is now known as carpo === carpo is now known as carpo1982 === LjL-Temp is now known as LjL [14:20] im scared to download the pkg and install the module raw, i remember the last time i compiled something on my own that apt has stopped working :/ [14:20] there is a cherryd on the karmic package, since jaunty's is broken you would need to build it yourself [14:20] ActionParsnip, genius... how can i make it auto start? [14:20] Hi all [14:20] azlon: strange it doesnt, you could always add: /etc/init.d/samba start to /etc/rc.local [14:21] azlon: it should be part of the startup processes [14:21] Why in Ubuntu whenever I connect to a XP share drive (Samba) even if there is no password created in the XP machine, Ubuntu keeps asking me for a password, I can't let it empty...So I have to add a password to the XP machine!! ¿?? [14:21] SoPy, http://archive.getdeb.net/getdeb/ubuntu/pool/apps/c/cherrypy3/python-cherrypy3_3.1.2-1~getdeb1_all.deb [14:22] Is there any reason why a Share drive should have by force a Password in order to connect to it with Samba??? [14:22] I noticed this only when using Ubuntu [14:22] joaopinto: kewl ty [14:22] RS-232: how do you connect to an smb share from ubuntu? [14:22] RS-232: the account you connect with must have a password [14:22] RS-232: blank passwords show poor security awarenes [14:22] ActionParsnip: yeah but Why??? When doing the same from an XP machine you can enter without a password [14:23] ActionParsnip: it is a local machine in my local network here at home.. [14:23] RS-232: is the same account name on the other system with the same password? [14:23] ActionParsnip: Ubuntu asks for a user name and a password, the user name is the same at the share drive machine, but no password [14:24] so I have to add a password to the account just because of this. [14:24] So, i'm sort of in a vendor lock-in - I have an iPod Nano, guitar equipment that only works on mac/windows, a Wacom tablet that isn't as well supported on Linux as it is on mac/windows, and I don't know whether Linux is usable for professional graphical work such as 2D animation - And I want to break out. How? [14:24] ActionParsnip, i still cant see my shared folders. i can see the computer in the network places (windows) but i cant access it... says not a valid network location [14:24] ActionParsnip, it was working great until i setup ICS [14:25] Arelis: sorry but I have here on front of me a WACOM tablet working corrrectly without installing anything special, the Ubuntu default isntallation detected it [14:25] sudo modprobe sd_mod|modprobe usbcore|modprobe uhci|modprobe usb-ohci|modprobe usb-storage [14:25] RS-232: (Last time I tried was Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon) [14:25] Arelis: I am now in Jaunty and it is working fine [14:25] Need help in recovering, system>preferences in gnome. Deleted them accidentally in alacarte. [14:26] RS-232: you may need to set: sudo smbpasswd -a $USER to set your samba password, you can then chaeck the account is replicated on the windows side and you should be able to walk in [14:26] tipi: IIRC, alacarte's edits are stored in ~/.local/share/applications/ [14:26] RS-232: But then there's the other things.. Is Linux usable for professional graphical work such as 2D animation? And how would I get my guitar equipment working? [14:26] Arelis: you have Gimp for picture edition, as a replacement for PhotoShop [14:27] Arelis: Cinerrela as replacement for Adobe Premier [14:27] can someone help me [14:27] azlon: check if its running in: ps -ef | less [14:27] ActionParsnip, should i just reinstall samba? [14:27] Arelis: however CAD is a big LACK in Linux if that is you interest [14:27] azlon: also check its listening in: netstat -a [14:27] ActionParsnip: ok thanks [14:27] azlon: worth a shot, not a bad idea [14:27] RS-232: I don't care about CAD [14:27] @grawity thx, but still dont know how to fix it [14:28] Arelis: what is the software you used to use in MAC? [14:28] hi gius [14:28] *guys [14:28] ActionParsnip, ok i see it running in ps -ef | less now let me check netstat [14:28] I want to install ubuntu on my pendrive, should I download the PC (Intel x86) desktop CD or Marvell Dove desktop image? [14:29] Arelis: probably you should talking about what software you wanted to have in Linux and we will respond you [14:30] RS-232: Line 6 POD FARM for amp modeling, Audacity for recording (But I switched to REAPER because Audacity is not good on a Mac), Safari (because Firefox doesn't work), Adium (but I prefer Pidgin), I used to use the GIMP but I switched over to Photoshop - I don't see what's so much better about it, Adobe Flash CS3/CS4 (I DEFINETLY need this), there's some other things but I have to search for them on my Mac. === jmrodri-gone is now known as jmrodri [14:31] Arelis: Well for Safari you have : Firefox, Opera, Epiphany, etc... [14:31] Arelis: for your IPOD you have Amarok [14:31] !ipod [14:31] For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto - For the iPhone and the iPod Touch, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone - See !RockBox for information on liberating your iPod [14:31] Arelis: you definetly don't want a linux system [14:32] Arelis: for Adobe Flahs (Macromedia ) I am sorry...but Flash and Linux don't get on very vwell however you can use SVG library and others, there are 1000 threads in internet talking about this [14:32] llutz: Is it so bad for stuff like that? [14:32] there's no support for ipod touch/iphone 3.0 syncing at linux, which sucks [14:32] !ipod | bernardo_ [14:32] bernardo_: For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto - For the iPhone and the iPod Touch, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone - See !RockBox for information on liberating your iPod [14:32] Arelis: if you insist on that listed software, yes [14:32] bernardo_: blame apple; [14:33] bernardo_: that is not true sorry, I have both my ipod and iphone working in linux [14:33] llutz: Well, I insist on using Flash, but Macromedia Flash MX is okay too. [14:33] ActionParsnip, still not working after reinstall. could it have to do with the fact that i changed my default route? [14:33] bernardo_: you could install rockbox on your ipod and make your ipod suck less [14:33] Arelis: for modeling you have BLENDER [14:33] Arelis: linux is a bad win-app-starter [14:33] hhhhhhh [14:33] azlon: maybe, you'd ave to check your samba logs to see if connections are getting in [14:33] llutz: Hasn't WINE improved since those 2 years? [14:34] I'm having issues with Skype; the video screen is very small, and it will not double or go full screen [14:34] Arelis: ask in #winehq, but as i said: it makes no sense to use a linux-system to work with win-apps [14:34] Need help in recovering, system>preferences in gnome. Deleted them accidentally in alacarte. === William is now known as Guest69843 [14:34] Arelis: and ALWAYS if all the options have run out, you can start up a SUN Virtual Machine with your XP or OS Leopard image and run what you need [14:34] Arelis: llutz is right wine is only a band aid [14:34] Arelis: I do that when I need to work with Solidworks (I am a mechanical Engineer) [14:35] erUSUL: But it runs games, right? [14:35] hahahaha [14:35] hi [14:35] games? [14:35] some but not all games.. [14:35] Arelis: yes i use it for guild wars (platinum rating in appdb) [14:35] !appdb | Arelis [14:35] Arelis: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [14:36] World Of Warcraft and Warhammer work in Wine like a charm [14:36] some win games work, some work weird, some wont even install, some have native installers like doom3 [14:36] But, would the Mac be better for working in the professional graphical industry, or is Linux sufficient? [14:37] ok just in case anybody ever asks this again: AMD has completely dropped support for non hd cards that is the reason why an x1400 f.ex. wont work with amd drivers on jaunty anymore [14:37] ActionParsnip, there is no rockbox for iphone/ipod touch [14:37] remoteCTR1: It works fine with the open drivers [14:37] RS-232, you have an iphone or ipod touch at firmware 3.0+ syncing? [14:37] no skype users in Jaunty? [14:38] I want to install ubuntu at the USB drive because the netbook doesn't have a CD drive... should I download the .iso or .img file? [14:38] bernardo_: My iPhone is >3.0, jailbroken, and also redsnowed...and yes, it works like a charm with Amarok...I had to do some console work of course, but it works better than with iTunes. In internet there are many guides for this [14:38] bernardo_: if you read: http://www.rockbox.org/ [14:38] bernardo_: it says: Apple: 1st through 5.5th generation iPod, iPod Mini and 1st generation iPod Nano [14:38] (not the Shuffle, 2nd/3rd/4th gen Nano, Classic or Touch) [14:38] so no [14:39] but in the future [14:39] wo knows [14:39] ActionParsnip: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [14:39] RS-232, you can sync apps? [14:39] im off to bed kids [14:39] peace [14:39] Hi all, i recently had to remove virtualbox, but now i want to reinstall (synaptic) it I get: package virtualbox-2.1 is not availabe, but exists in the database [14:39] how can i install virtualbox again? [14:40] bernardo_: no apps of course, because you need to access Apple Store man! and only iTunes knows that..but I can do anything else for music, podcasts, etc.. [14:40] or qemu.. [14:40] dumb question: Only one group can be setted by folder? [14:40] RS-232: But, would the Mac be better for working in the professional graphical industry, or is Linux sufficient? [14:40] dumb question: Only one group can be setted by folder or file?? [14:40] certainly mac Arelis [14:40] trijntje: sudo aptitude install virtualbox-ose [14:40] trijntje: needs universe-repo enabled [14:40] Arelis: that is something that you have to find out. [14:41] Len_: In Unix, a file has _one_ owner, and _one_ group. [14:41] grawity: same for folder ? [14:41] hi everyone [14:41] Arelis: in my case for CAD->Windows, ANYTHING ELSE -> Linux :).... well, I forgot, for games ->Windows... that the best thing it does [14:41] Would like to know is there anyway to use Thunderbird to download email from yahoo mail and view it offline + backup ? [14:41] Len_: Yes. Same for everything in the filesystem. [14:41] If Thunderbird can't download ,which other email client can do it ? [14:41] Arelis: if you prefer to work with native apps without emulations/virtualisation, use your mac [14:41] thank you :) [14:41] bernardo_: Then I want to customize my Mac to work kind of like Linux - I want a sort of fluxbox, that allows me to customize key shortcuts, and I don't want the Dock. And I want to be able to write programs for anything that is not available. [14:41] ubuntunewbie: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [14:41] llutz, do i have to reboot after install to get virtualbox working? [14:41] trijntje: no [14:41] !offtopic | Arelis [14:41] Arelis: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [14:42] ubuntunewbie- .. yes there is a way.. but that depends on your ubuntu experience [14:42] Len_: Linux has an extension to that - ACLs - they allow setting other users and groups (not just the owner) - but they aren't supported in all systems. (It's possible to use in Ubuntu, but you have to enable them manually.) === mythbuntu is now known as shashwatp-ns === shashwatp-ns is now known as shashwatpns [14:42] grawity: so We dont have the possibility to have a set of users to read/write in a folder other just to read and other can't read at all? [14:42] Arelis: after 4 years, I can't even imagine my life without Linux ! [14:43] grawity: ACL stands for? [14:43] llutz, lol, that worked. I already tried that twice. Thanks [14:43] Len_: make a group for that users [14:43] ubuntunewbie- http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/internet/firefox/get-your-yahoo-mail-in-mozilla-thunderbird-for-free/ [14:43] Xcell: I am new :( [14:43] Len_: "Access Control List" -- a list of users (or groups) and their permissions. [14:43] Len_: then set group permissions as apropiate [14:43] RS-232: The problem with a dual-boot of Mac and Linux on this PC is, first, it's risky, because I have to replace the EFI - and second, I keep using the Mac side more because all the things apps I need for my daily activities are there. [14:43] erUSUL: But only one group can be set. [14:43] Len_: Access Control Lists? [14:43] erUSUL: And Len_ needs two groups - one for r/w, other for read-only. (And the rest with no access.) [14:44] if I have 3 files with each file containing 1 number per line.. how can I make a file with 3 columns of numbers.. 1st column for 1st file, 2nd column for 2nd file and so on? [14:44] grawity: ah ok; did not know all requirements :) [14:44] erUSUL: :) [14:44] !info eicel | Len_ [14:44] Len_: Package eicel does not exist in jaunty [14:44] ubuntunewbie, welcome to ubuntu :) [14:44] !info eiciel | Len_ [14:44] Len_: eiciel (source: eiciel): graphical editor for POSIX ACLs and extended user attributes. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.9.6.1-2ubuntu1 (jaunty), package size 447 kB, installed size 1036 kB [14:44] Len_: that will make all far easier ;) [14:44] Xcell: so how about hotmail ? I mean live mail ? === vds1 is now known as vds [14:45] trijntje: hi trijntje :) [14:45] grawity, erUSUL Thx for help, I was just curious [14:45] I'll read about ACL later [14:45] how can i get evolution to keep a backup of emails I remove from the IMAP server? [14:46] hi guys... if I download beta 9.10 will I need to upgrade to oficial 9.10 or will it just an update at update manager? [14:46] *or will it just be === eli_ is now known as Elirips [14:47] hi guys, do the devices under /dev/mapper/ get created dynamicaly from the initrd by udevd at boot time? [14:47] bernardo_, it will update to stable when it is released [14:47] Hello, when make a right click on a mounted medium an choose the section "Share Folder" (Hope that is the english name for this section, because have a german installation) is that the same like share with samba? Can I connect to this medium from a PC with Win? [14:47] bernardo_, if nothing breaks first, make a backup of your data ;) [14:47] grawity, erUSUL or anyone: chmod g+s will make the news files/folder inhirent the same group of the its parent?

[14:48] Komak57: /boot/grub/menu.lst [14:48] Len_: yes [14:48] trijntje, I have a PC with 9.04, I will need to upgrade to 9.10 if I want, right? It won't be at update manager, correct? [14:48] thanks grawity === William is now known as Guest99008 [14:48] bernardo_: New releases _should_ be in the update manager [14:49] bernardo_, you want to upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10 beta? [14:49] member:RS-232: The problem with a member:dual-boot of Mac and Linux on this PC is, first, it's risky, because I have to replace the EFI - and second, I keep using the Mac side more because all the apps I need for playing guitar or making drawings are on Mac OS X. [14:49] grawity: so ls -l shoud come with S instead of x in grps? [14:49] trijntje, no, I have a PC with 9.04 and I want to install 9.10 beta on another PC... but at the PC with 9.04 I will want to upgrade to 9.10 [14:49] is upgrading from 9.04 to 9.10 a delight or can problems happen? === Guest99008 is now known as William-Gentoo [14:50] bernardo_: when it's releases there will be an upgrade option from the update manager [14:50] Len_: No, it should show 's' (lowercase) [14:50] what package name is open sshd under? [14:50] bernardo_, you can upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10 without problems, when 9.10 is released [14:50] violet523: openssh-server [14:50] grawity: what's the difference? I got a big S [14:50] grawity: kk ty [14:50] Len_: 's' means both execute and setgid are set. === The is now known as Guest33599 [14:51] Len_: 'S' means setgid is set, but execute is not. [14:51] bernardo_, last ubuntu upgrade I was playing a shooter while updating, its that painless ;) [14:52] trijntje: wait a few day and see how "painless" it is :) [14:52] /msg NickServ identify william [14:52] hi guys, do the devices under /dev/mapper/ get created dynamicaly from the initrd by udevd at boot time? [14:52] llutz, you dont think it will be painless? [14:52] !karmic [14:52] Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 29th, 2009 - Karmic is BETA and MAY break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [14:52] William-Ubuntu, change your password to a better one now ;) [14:52] trijntje: chan will be flooded with "iieks, updating broke my system" ;) [14:53] William-Ubuntu: interesting password [14:53] trijntje: painless for some, never for all (just my experience) [14:53] h [14:53] fredl: pretty much everything under /dev is created dynamically at boot [14:53] LjL: where do you see a password? (no, names aren't passwords) [14:53] llutz, I see, I will tell him its mostly painless ;) [14:53] hello [14:53] can anybody find me the photo from UDS Paris, the group photo [14:54] first time i use ubuntu [14:54] i`m impressed [14:54] thank you guys and trijntje [14:54] Sacrebleu_, welcome among us [14:54] bernardo_, I've just heard its painless for most users, but there are alway's some unlucky ones [14:54] llutz: obviously names can be passwords, and were used as such in that instance. [14:54] tsimpson, I know, but I want to know for sure if /dev/mapper/ devices are created by udevd, not whether 'pretty much everything is created by something' [14:54] heh, hopefully I won't be unlucky... what about that ext4 filesystem thing? mine is reiserfs [14:55] Sacrebleu_, welcome to ubuntu :) [14:55] beautiful operating sistem [14:55] very very clean [14:55] just touching in, am downloading ubuntu as you read this, really wanting to know how painless the setting up of WiFi is on an old IBM T30? [14:55] from now till death a will hate gates [14:55] :)) [14:55] fredl: by "pretty much", I mean everything that's not in /dev/.udev [14:56] tsimpson - because for some reason my lvm2 volumes are not visible in in initrd, therefore the root cannot be mounted. [14:56] ls [14:56] that's a long time to carry hate around with ya [14:57] how do i make it do that 3-d stuff for pcliunxos? [14:57] pclinuxos* [14:57] corey: Ask in a pclinuxos channel, this is #ubuntu [14:58] dude idk how to find anything in here === LjL-Temp is now known as LjL [14:58] this is like a world apart from windows [14:58] lol [14:58] corey, you mean compiz 3d effects? [14:58] corey: type /join #PCLinuxOS-Support [14:58] yeah [14:58] corey: hehe [14:58] * sivang high fives corey [14:58] corey, install compizconfig settingsmanager [14:58] alright now that ive installed opensshd so hopefully when i try for lke the eightyith time to get this geforce 5200 to work properly with 3d support [14:58] ok [14:58] trijntje: pclinuxos is not Ubuntu and is not supported here. [14:59] mirc pirch and several other irc clients run fine on windows... been using them since 1994 or something [14:59] Pici, i thought he saw compiz in pclinuxos and wants it on his ubuntu box [15:00] i do [15:00] corey: Are you running Ubuntu or pclinuxos? [15:00] will there be an update to nginx 0.6.*? [15:00] I'm looking for an app that I can start with a mouse button that basically shows a bunch of icons for apps installed in my system. [15:00] im running xubuntu [15:00] nginx 0.5 is kinda broken in some aspects [15:00] !latest | Elmaron [15:00] Elmaron: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are: fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports. [15:00] corey: Okay, sorry for the confusion. [15:00] edbian: ? you mean like a start menu? [15:00] well this is buggy enough to justifyb a post release update [15:01] ok after i install compiz how do i make it work? [15:01] that's why I'm asking if there is going to be one === miguel is now known as Guest13998 [15:01] nginx 0.5 is unable to parse all the vhosts I set up because it can't deal with some specific orders or combinations of vhosts apparently [15:01] hi to all [15:01] Elmaron: Are you running Hardy currently? [15:01] how do i get compix to work now that i installed it? === LjL-Temp is now known as LjL [15:02] Pici: the recent 8 something LTS [15:02] dunno the codename for it === Guest13998 is now known as miguel000 [15:02] how can i get evolution to keep a backup of emails I remove from the IMAP server? [15:02] i wanto see dpg movies in my ubuntu, any how to? thx [15:02] Elmaron: nginx is 0.6 in jaunty.. do you mean hardy LTS [15:02] another dumb question: whats the differente btw useradd adduser? [15:02] Len_: Their manpages describe the differences well. [15:02] freakynl: Yes. In an effort to be more productive I'm experimenting with getting rid of my gnome panel. Compiz has plenty of functionality for arranging my windows (and managing them in general) but I'd like to be able to press my 4th mouse button for example and launch an app that basically just shows launchers for other apps. Is there something like that in the repos? I already have a program that will run a command every time button 4 is pressed now I jus [15:02] t need the app! Does this make sense? [15:02] hi [15:02] Pici: ok [15:02] Len_: ones alot more tech savy [15:03] whats the fastest terminal emulator? [15:03] erUSUL, not sure. uname -a doesn't contain it apparently [15:03] freakynl: That way I can launch apps without taking my hand off the mouse [15:03] Len_: one adds users, the other is for adding users to groups if i remember right [15:03] kermit: probably xterm with dash instead of bash [15:03] hey guys, anyone of you know about this negative effect on ubuntu desktop? [15:03] Elmaron: lsb_release -a [15:03] violet523: you remember wrong :) [15:03] so basically you want a configurable menu on the fourth mouse button? definitely possible... dunno if there are any apps that can assist you though [15:04] llutz: its ben ten years ;p [15:04] erUSUL, yes, hady LTS [15:04] *hardy [15:04] Elmaron: according to packages.ubuntu.com hardy has nginx 0.6xxx in backports [15:04] !backports | Elmaron [15:04] Elmaron: If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they may go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging [15:04] can i manuelly add a PPA ? [15:04] Elmaron: enable backports and update only nginx then disable them again [15:04] kermit: You mean something like minicon? [15:04] and well i would have man'ed it but im still stuck in single user mode [15:04] I just transferred my netbook from EasyPeasy to NBR by changing software sources, and adding and dropping relevant packages, and then upgraded to Karmic Beta. Anyone know how I can add the logout/shutdown menu to my panel? It didn't get added when I switched. [15:04] using apt-key is timing out today [15:04] is there a Nautilus plugin to edit file ACLs? [15:05] edbian-> all i can think of is a keymapping for your 4th button, which i have been struggling to get going myself [15:05] !info eiciel | Lint01 [15:05] Lint01: eiciel (source: eiciel): graphical editor for POSIX ACLs and extended user attributes. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.9.6.1-2ubuntu1 (jaunty), package size 447 kB, installed size 1036 kB [15:05] erUSUL, can I enable backports not only temporarily only for the nginx package? [15:05] jcdyer : Please join #ubuntu+1 for Karmic/9.10 support/discussion. [15:05] if you have a tool that can add a command to fourth mouse button, why not attach a file browser targetted to a specific directory on it, in the dir put the shortcuts [15:05] I don't want to miss out on security patches - otherwise I could just simply compile nginx on my own which I already did [15:05] freakynl: Yes. But I don't want to have to have the mouse of the desktop (silly in my opinion). Do you understand? [15:05] Pici: OK Thanks, though I don't think the question is Karmic specific. [15:06] how can i get evolution to keep a backup of emails I remove from the IMAP server? [15:06] n8tuser: I can keymap my button to any command I want. That works completely. I just need a good app to launch when the key is pressed! [15:06] hey guys [15:06] Pici: Because I didn't have the widget before the upgrade either. [15:06] yea i get it but that might be more difficult as the app your mouse is above might interpret the 4th button as well... which might cause results you don't desire [15:06] freakynl: That's a good work around! Not 100% beautiful but pretty close! Thank you! [15:06] edbian, do you want to get the ubuntu menu or just an Alt+F2 kind of thing? [15:06] Pici: It was the result of switching from EasyPeasy, which doesn't have that on the panel. [15:06] hello i'm looking at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=42737 i'd like to scale down frequency / fan speed on old athlon xp.. can it be done? :) [15:07] trijntje: I want to launch apps without the keyboard or the gnome panel. [15:07] !negative [15:07] Sorry, I don't know anything about negative [15:07] Elmaron: i wuold do: enable backports « sudo aptitude update » then « sudo aptitude install nginx » disable backports [15:07] onats: What are you looking for? [15:07] edbian you have a tutorial on how to map a key? using like strings (for initiating a script?) -- i've been struggling on how to key map myself [15:07] edbian: well have fun with it :) [15:07] so um...i have a problem. I used some program called "Remove Orphaned Packages" and it removed alot of packages and now half of my stuff is missing. can someone do a private chat with me please? [15:07] i cannot for the life of me figure out why my samba shares are not working [15:07] !pinning | Elmaron [15:07] Elmaron: pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto [15:08] Pici, found it already.. its a feature of compiz... [15:08] edbian, well thats over my head for sure, good luck to you! [15:08] llutz: what command adds a user to groups, addgroup? [15:08] erUSUL, if i change my default route would that prevent other machines from accessing my samba shares? [15:08] violet523: adduser does, but it does lots more [15:08] Pici, super +m / super + n, sets apps to negative contrast... [15:08] n8tuser: I'm using xbindkeys. It's actually pretty easy but it is sort of brute force. It doesn't check for duplicates and it overrides any other key mapping (so don't re-map button one unless you wanna be REALLY annoyed). Use xev command if you don't know your mouse buttons [15:08] azlon: your default gateaway ? [15:08] onats: Indeed. [15:08] Pici, good for dark rooms [15:08] trijntje: n8tuser: freakynl: Thanks guys! :) [15:08] anyone? [15:09] erUSUL, hrmm... how do i find my default gateway? [15:09] azlon: i do not see why would that matter unless you modifed other routes [15:09] azlon: it s your router usually [15:09] how can i get evolution to keep a backup of emails I remove from the IMAP server? [15:09] whoever had recommended eiciel: that &#%^ (a) doesn't work, and (b) doesn't integrate into Nautilus, any working alternatives? [15:09] so um...i have a problem. I used some program called "Remove Orphaned Packages" and it removed alot of packages and now half of my stuff is missing. can someone do a private chat with me please? [15:09] just touching in, am downloading ubuntu as you read this, really wanting to know how painless the setting up of WiFi is on an old IBM T30? [15:10] Lint01: (a) I have tested it too, (b) it does integrate to Nautilus context menu. [15:10] Lint01: it does work and b it does add a tab in the properties dialog of nautilus for files [15:10] violet523: basically adduser/useradd do similar things, but different way [15:10] UKTonyK: What wireless chipset does that laptop have? [15:10] erUSUL, i deleted my default route and added a new one so i could use my ppp0 for internet and my eth1 for LAN [15:10] erUSUL, this is my new route: http://pastebin.com/d135e7fd [15:10] is anyone listening? [15:10] llutz: yeah i remember one i had to know the information i was adding while the other was used in the old debian installation method where it asks for like name, address, room number, etc [15:10] UKTonyK: additionaly http://thinkwiki.org is a great resource for thinkpad owners. [15:11] azlon: everything looks ok to me (no that i'm an expert either ;)) [15:11] Pici:christ knows! :) how would I find out? I have a netgear WG511T abd a Belkin F5D9010 [15:11] psinetic: 1) Yes, we're listening. 2) Most of us prefer to reply in the channel (unless a PM is really needed). 3) The rule of IRC: If nobody answers - nobody knows. === spaz_ is now known as Guest6291 [15:11] violet523: useradd asks [15:11] after installing lighttpd, ubuntu wants to start it [15:11] ok, well chatting here is fine too, i just figure chatting in private message would be easier for troubleshooting. [15:12] erUSUL, what else would prevent my samba shares from displaying? it stopped working when i setup ICS [15:12] will try thinkwiki.org. Many thanks [15:12] I want it never to be started automatically (also not with another try after the next reboot of the machine) [15:12] what do I need to do so it will never attempt to do this again while lighttpd is still installed? [15:12] Elmaron: disable it on the init system [15:12] edbian-> do you mind if I get a copy of your xbindkey mapping, ill see if I can figure out how to map a key, you may pm it to my, thanks. [15:12] Elmaron: --> sudo update-rc.d -f lighttpd remove [15:12] does anyone know how to make a cd so when it starts in a linux box, it will automatically open the html page? [15:13] like the auto.inf in windows? [15:13] i've had problems with ubuntu ever since the day I installed it. if it's not one problem it's another. But i used some software called "Remove Orphaned Packages" it removed alot of stuff i am using right now, and now alot of my apps won't run, everything looks different, and icons are missing.

[15:14] i need to change the theme...

I upgraded to 9.10 and things were good for a couple of days. Now Xorg is taking 99% of my cpu. thoughts? [15:29] could anyone let me know... sorry if this is the wrong forum [15:29] actually, here's a question i'd REALLY love the answer to. I know i "upgraded" to the test OS. If you don't like that OS, is there a way to "downgrade" to the one previous to that with a simple terminal command? [15:29] I have an issue with a new(ish) laptop. I am unable to change the screens brightness. I am using ubuntu 9.04, on an HP dv1000se. I even tried rmmod video but that does not solve the issue. [15:29] how can i make a copy of an audio cd? [15:29] jlilly: ask in #ubuntu+1 [15:29] psinetic, only way to do that is to reinstall [15:29] mgv1: use brasero ? [15:29] erUSUL: thx. [15:29] psinetic: No. [15:29] L1nUX1z3R, rip is working xD [15:29] go figure [15:29] genii: i've used minicom for dialup stuff, how would i use it locally? [15:29] !downgrade | psinetic [15:29] psinetic: Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported, and may break your system. [15:29] psinetic, however, you can boot to an older kernel, if you are having hardware issues [15:30] it's not like it's already broken [15:30] erUSUL, i didnt knew about this- i thought there is the simple burning only - thanks [15:30] gamerx, yaaaay :P [15:30] psinetic, that means that it may be non-operable [15:30] psinetic, What is broken? [15:30] clone_: The upstream bug shows progress, my guess is that if you are not into kernel hacking, you'll just have to wait this one out.. [15:30] i ran some program called "Remove Orphaned Packages" and it took a lot of crap out in my system [15:31] alot of apps won't run anymore, missing icons, the entire system changed entirely [15:31] L1nUX1z3R, btw is there any easy way of "replying", like instead of copying and pasting the users name?, like a right click option (im using x-chat) [15:31] clone_: !tab | gamerx [15:31] arg. [15:31] !tab | gamerx [15:31] gamerx: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [15:31] gamerx, just type the first letters and tab [15:31] psinetic: that's because afaik, orphanded =/=crap [15:31] Delvien: wait how long? people are waiting since 7.04 for this, if it won't be solved soon ubuntu lost me, and probably all other intel pro wifi users out there... [15:31] psinetic try this.. sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop then sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [15:31] L1nUX1z3R, ohh great [15:31] clone_: sorry about that. [15:31] ok, one sec [15:31] kermit: My original question was intended to find out if by "terminal emulation" you wanted some replacement of xterm/gnome-terminal or a communications app like minicom, which is an emulator of for instance ANSI VT100 [15:32] gamerx, lol....enjoy [15:32] clone_, sorry, missed what you were talking about.. ? [15:32] psinetic: install ubuntu-desktop metapackage [15:32] L1nUX1z3R, thank god someone thourght of that :P [15:32] erUSUL, i already said that [15:32] gamerx, lol...yeah...quite time saving [15:32] arand: wait how long? people are waiting since 7.04 for this, if it won't be solved soon ubuntu lost me, and probably all other intel pro wifi users out there...

And a new user wouldnt necessarily understand "install xxxx metapackage" [15:35] clone_: This isn't an ubuntu problem, the issue is in the kernel module. [15:35] /window/n [15:35] Pici: ok, so is there anyone even trying to fix this? [15:35] i don't remember having this problem with fedora 11 [15:35] Hi! I'm using the private folder under ubuntu 9.04. there are two identical folders in my home (.Private and Private) looking exactly the same and taking the same space. what is that good for and is one of them (Private) not encrypted? [15:36] psinetic, sec [15:36] clone_: hmm, I see your point, but then again, it all comes down to the developers and what they focus on and/or know how to fix it, testing and submitting debug reports are always one way to help getting it done faster... [15:36] yeah i had no idea what you meant by "install ubuntu-desktop metapackage", i figured i'd run "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop metapackage" but that didn't work [15:36] Is there a gui for handling archives - rars - zips - etc ?? [15:36] clone_: See upstream: http://bugzilla.intellinuxwireless.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1932 [15:37] kappaccino: file-roller? [15:37] psinetic, i didnt say install ubuntu-desktop metapackage :) that was someone else. the first commands were fine you ran [15:37] I was at work yesterday trying to find it. I realize I installed 7zip but it's all terminal work :( [15:37] psinetic, gimme a sec, reading something about it [15:37] ok [15:37] kappaccino: If you install the 'rar' and 'p7zip' packages, file-roller will be able to handle those filetypes automatically. [15:38] cool thanks [15:38] psinetic, when is the last time you update? [15:38] updated* [15:38] psinetic: exactly what packages did you remove with the orphan-clean-thingy? [15:38] about two hours ago [15:39] i have no idea, it just gave me a bunch of boxes to check, i figured they were all from bad installs or where i half-installed something manually and left alot of trash behind. so i checked them all and hit "ok" [15:39] ...it even removed itself... [15:39] anyone know of any GUi's for kismet? === ray__ is now known as rayhan [15:40] psinetic, without knowing what is missing :x..... try "sudo aptitude install ubuntu-desktop" and post the output to pastebin [15:41] what's the difference in sudo apt-get and sudo aptitude? [15:42] psinetic: did you have a lot of packages installed without using a repository (i.e. downloaded deb files) or from a repository which are no longer enabled? [15:42] helo all [15:42] psinetic: aptitude is an alias from apt-get [15:42] aptitude is more comprehensive [15:42] no its not [15:42] BlouBlou: wrong [15:42] its a different programm [15:42] llua: ops, so what is it? [15:42] psinetic: both are different front-ends to apt [15:42] llutz: sorry, what is it? [15:43] :x [15:43] i think the Remove Orphaned Packages program removed packages that were related to apps that were standalone as well. for example, if an app has no dependencies, then i think it autoassumed it was an orphan and marked it for deletion. [15:43] psinetic: aptitude is a higher-level program with a semi-gui available, it also tends to give you more information compared to apt-get... [15:43] http://pastebin.com/d5cfa6a21 [15:44] BlouBlou: apt-get aptitude explanation here http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/aptitude [15:44] BlouBlou: apt-get/apt-cache are purely command-line tools, aptitude is kind of menu-based, and synaptic has a full, clickable GUI - and all three are just interfaces to the 'apt' package management system. [15:44] can anyone help me with dockbarx...cant change the themes [15:44] fccf, grawity: ok thanks for info :) [15:44] L1nUX1z3R, dockbarx? [15:44] psinetic, .... wow its all kinds of borked, did you have KDE4 installed? [15:44] coz, yes [15:44] L1nUX1z3R, I have to google that one [15:44] no idea [15:45] coz_, http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/DockbarX?content=101604 [15:45] gamerx, yaaaay :P [15:45] psinetic, you shouldnt run things in root (mode), you should always use sudo [15:45] L1nUX1z3R, what? [15:45] gamerx, are you using it?? [15:46] oh ok [15:46] L1nUX1z3R, no i just googled it, found the page on it lol [15:46] L1nUX1z3R, let me install this and see [15:46] coz_, k, thanks [15:46] L1nUX1z3R, i shall check it out too [15:46] psinetic, aptitiude removed alot of things... I only wanted the output not for you to continue on and agree to what it was removing doh. [15:46] psinetic: did your desktop include a menubar at the top. [15:46] gamerx, thanks too [15:46] it basically makes a task bar like the one on windows 7, but better [15:47] uh...well i have both status bars on the bottom of the screen if that's what you're asking [15:47] IS there a K on the bottom left hand side? [15:47] no [15:47] i think it's gnome based [15:47] psinetic: or rather, are you using Kubuntu rather than the gnome-based ubuntu. [15:47] Whats there? [15:47] L1nUX1z3R, hold on ...apparenlty this takes a few dependencies [15:47] i'm using Ubuntu [15:47] it's the funky looking circle thing [15:48] coz_, i can find the link to them.. [15:48] L1nUX1z3R, ? and a couple manual install things [15:48] L1nUX1z3R, thats ok they are installing [15:48] ubuntu is a distro, KDE and Gnome are desktop environments. (kubuntu for kde and ubuntu for gnome) [15:48] coz_, yeah...a couple of copying files to /usr/bin etc [15:48] ah. i'm using gnome [15:48] hello, is it possible to split my current ubuntu partition in half without losing my distro/data [15:49] acr0nym: you can use a partition manager to split the un-used space. [15:49] acr0nym: Yes, but you'll need to do that from a LiveCD (because you cannot edit partitions that are being used) [15:49] psinetic, does it look like this? http://www.kde.org/announcements/4.0/screenshots/desktop.jpg [15:49] aah grawity that explains why it didn't work [15:49] acr0nym: Also, resizing partitions is a little risky. [15:49] psinetic: When you install "Ubuntu", Ubuntu installs gnome, but you can install KDE later via synaptic [15:50] no, it doesn't look like that [15:50] psinetic, okie [15:50] hmmm, i'll take a screeny myself [15:50] psinetic, do "sudo aptitude install ubuntu-desktop" again, and without continuing post the output to pastebin [15:50] and for the love of god this is pissing me off >_> my music player just up and freaking freezes >_> [15:51] psinetic, maybe the best option for you is to backup your data and reinstall a non-beta version [15:51] psinetic, Usually we all suggest STRONGLY not to get into the beta software unless you really know how to tear things apart [15:51] http://pastebin.com/d1bf26021 [15:51] hmmm ok [15:52] psinetic, you spelled ubuntu-desktop wrong in your terminal command [15:52] well i didn't go into beta until after this happened [15:52] Delvien: maybe psinetic can wait few weeks, and install RC or definitive version upgrading [15:52] "ubnuntu-desktop" [15:52] go figure >_> [15:52] thanks [15:52] L1nUX1z3R, oh a systray?? [15:52] one more question, I want to use the same home partition on different distros [15:52] will you clear one thing to me? i use [alt]+[f2] run program and i'd like to add an activator to it? some hints? [15:52] BlouBlou will be better for him to just reinstall, since we have no idea what packages are missing [15:52] i can have ubuntu installed on the same partition as windows? [15:53] do I have to make a different partition for home and can this be done without reinstalling my current ubuntu from scratch? [15:53] BullHornL, with wubi, yes [15:53] psinetic: using tab-completion makes spelling mistakes rarer ;) [15:53] is it stable/worth-checking? [15:53] psinetic: if you're using beta version join in #ubuntu+1 for karmic support ;) [15:53] http://pastebin.com/d2d2c4a9 [15:53] acr0nym, You dont HAVE to [15:53] question: now that we use gdm 2.28, which doesn't (seem to) support themes, what do we do with all the *gdm-theme* packages? [15:53] acr0nym: Resize the current /, create a new partition, move data from old /home to the new partition, edit the /etc/fstab apropriately. Note that using a single /home for two distros _may_ create some problems (if you use different versions of Firefox, for example) - but other than that, good. [15:53] BlouBlou, Im already helping him, no need to direct him somewhere else [15:53] Anyone know why splashy will not install under Ubuntu Jaunty? [15:53] BlouBlou: right now i'm only concerned about Ubuntu support. [15:53] azimout : Please join #ubuntu+1 for Karmic/9.10 support/discussion. [15:53] coz_, yes [15:54] is it working?? [15:54] okay [15:54] psinetic, Id say, just back up your stuff and reinstall 9.04 [15:54] ok, thank you [15:54] L1nUX1z3R, yes its working now let me try to change themes [15:54] haha, ok. that'll make reinstall number three this month ;) [15:54] thanks grawity, one last question, I'm not very familiar with /etc/fstab can you perhaps explain what I have to do there or a link to a tutorial? [15:54] I had an error installing the 'splashy' package; "Conflicts with lsb-base" said its overwriting base-logging.sh [15:54] Anyone know if its safe to force an install? [15:54] psinetic, this time, to make it easier, make your / and /home different partitions, so you dont have to mess with your data all the time [15:54] !fstab [15:54] The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [15:55] hmmm never thought of that [15:55] thanks [15:55] L1nUX1z3R, mm I cannot find the preferences dialog [15:55] psinetic, :) if you bork your system, your data is safe, well unless your HDD goes nuclear [15:55] would it also be better to have the home partition as the first partition on my harddisk [15:55] acr0nym, / first [15:55] !Partitions [15:55] For help with partitioning a new install see: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/switching/installing-partitioning.html - For partitioning programs see !GParted, !QtParted (!Kubuntu 8.10 and lower) or !PartitionManager (!Kubuntu 9.04 and up) - Other partitioning topics include !fstab !home and !swap [15:55] coz_, i couldnt the first day...but i think if you right-click on it [15:56] L1nUX1z3R, nope no preferences let me look hold on [15:56] to be honest this has been a very hard and frustrating experience. I'm a military IT and work on computers everyday, but use windows. I know computers, I just don't know linux. and i'm sick of windows and viruses and junk like that and screw mac so i went linux. and ever since i installed it i've had problem after problem. very frustrating. [15:56] try logging out then in coz_ [15:56] L1nUX1z3R, ok hold on [15:56] psinetic, we all go through that, but at least you can open the hood up and figure it out [15:57] is there a linux alternative to nokia pc suite for connecting to the internet with a nokia phone? [15:57] psinetic, the beauty of linux :) [15:57] L1nUX1z3R, lolz [15:57] L1nUX1z3R, it lookz sexy :0 [15:57] gamerx, yeah, right.... [15:57] gamerx, send me a screenshot [15:57] psinetic: To add to Delvien's point, the fact you're managing to break it repeatedly probably means you're tinkering and trying to learn; you'll benefit in the long run. :o) [15:57] Breaking stuff is the quickest way to learn imho [15:57] pooka well said [15:57] true. it's like, the first time i installed it, graphics wouldn't work. i did everything i could, googled for a week straight, asked for help, nothing. reinstalled the os and it came back up. then i had another problem [15:58] actually, it's not that i'm breaking it, it's just that crap doesn't work when it's installed [15:58] for example. skype doesn't like my webcam [15:58] so i have to fix it [15:58] ubuntu doesn't like my graphics card, so i have to fix it [15:58] L1nUX1z3R, no still no preferences although I am karmic right now [15:58] and in the process of fixing, i screw something up [15:58] and have to fix that too [15:58] webcams suck, it took me a month to get mine working on windows [15:58] lol [15:58] Anybody savvy on splash package issues? Not an emergency but if somebody knows it'd be helpful [15:58] *splashy [15:58] L1nUX1z3R, can you not even get it installed?, im just trying to do the themes now [15:58] screw windows [15:59] psinetic, Most of the major issuses you will run into with linux is poor hardware support. The companies spend as little as possible on developement, and while it may work in windows, linux is another story. [15:59] coz_, it worked for me after reboot...but i still couldnt change themes [15:59] gamerx, i can, i just cant change the themes [15:59] coz_, im on jaunty [15:59] yeah i've noticed that. one thing that's pissing me off is that there's no yahoo messenger for linux [15:59] L1nUX1z3R, mine worked straight away :0, [15:59] psinetic, pidgin [15:59] L1nUX1z3R, in just reading thru the docs now [15:59] psinetic: Pidgin, Empathy, etc. [15:59] I will install linux this weekend for a first time on my computer as a dual boot but now im reading about ext3 and ext4 filesystems. they've got me a bit mixed up and i wonder that if i make one partition with ext3 where i keep my /boot as it is recommended and use ext4 on other partitions will it be a bit too experimental for a first time linux user. meaning do i have to spend hours on internet looking for some solutions for conflicts. [15:59] psinetic: I believe there are various tools that'll work with messenger for you. Pidgin perhaps? [15:59] psinetic, its all of the IM protocols in one nice app [16:00] i have to use some gyachi, which was removed in the recent screw up [16:00] pidgin doesn't use webcams [16:00] and empathy doesn't accept yahoo webcams [16:00] psinetic: Pidgin already supports video for XMPP; Yahoo is coming someday. [16:00] psinetic: try amsn for use webcam [16:00] yep that's not working either [16:00] BlouBlou: He wants Yahoo, not MSN -.- [16:00] i have both accounts [16:00] neither work === german is now known as Guest52975 [16:00] kelohippi: I'd say stick with the simplest thing you can to start with. It's great that you're reading up and learning. [16:01] psinetic, does it say its not connecting? [16:01] kelohippi: You can get adventurous once you're happy with your basic system. [16:01] * grawity never understood why are webcams so popular. [16:01] grawity: sorry, It's friday and I am tired of working ;) [16:01] does anyone have experience setting up wine on a fresh install of ubuntu 9.10? [16:01] grawity: Total mystery to me too, but then I'm rather technophobic. [16:01] anyone with experience with bind9? i want to setup one, but im not sure if it'll work with dyndns.com's free service.. [16:02] 9.10 prerelease i mean? [16:02] pooka: And I'm a geek.

[16:05] L1nUX1z3R, as far as i can see you put the .tar.gz file into /usr/share/dockbarx/themes and then relog? [16:05] adalal, Good luck with that. seriously. [16:05] fabiobassa -> whats ur prob? [16:05] L1nUX1z3R, then go into the properties and change it [16:05] i bet u have a old dell... :) [16:05] gamerx, i got it installed...but i cant change themes...can you? [16:05] abdusamed, the US Navy uses dell quite a bit ;) [16:05] pooka: yea thanks. [16:05] i cannot have 1024*768, but only 800*600. i tried googleing but all seem to edit xorg.conf [16:05] L1nUX1z3R, yes i can change them, im trying to install one now, can you get into the properties page? [16:06] pooka: im trying to setup a dns server, that'll point to my ftp server, and one to mail ... i already have a domain setup, i jus wanna know if i can actually setup wildcard support with my own bind server, using dynamic dns' free service [16:06] gamerx, yes...right-click it then im lost from there [16:06] wait i relogin [16:06] it seeeìms a very common problem [16:06] fabiobassa, haha, i dunno man, mine was with nvidia not working. it took me a reinstall of the OS to get it to work [16:06] how do i download from launchpad? after doing the software source steps? [16:07] Hello. [16:07] ty psinetic, it seems a very common problem that the resolution is set on 800*600 [16:07] adalal: You want to host all of this (including the DNS server?) on a dynamic address? [16:08] pooka: technically i dont have a dynamic address.. mine's static [16:08] fabiobassa, are you able to change the res in system->prefs->display? [16:08] adalal: Okay. Why is dyndns involved? [16:08] pooka: jus wanted to use a dns server to point to my address.. [16:08] Hello. Any preseed guru here? [16:08] no psinetic just 800*600 and 600*480.. i want it bigger [16:08] pooka: got any services that would point an address to my ip? [16:08] ok, hang on [16:08] adalal, Your dyndns account will do it [16:09] adalal, you just have to log in and give it your IP (which it can autodetect) [16:09] L1nUX1z3R, how the hell do you make it vertical??? [16:09] adalal: Any DNS domain reseller should allow you to set the NS records for your domain to point to your personal DNS server. [16:09] fabiobassa, try going to system->Administration->hardware drivers [16:09] KingOverload: the problem is, wildcard support is supposedly disabled in a free account, i dont know what that means,... as in, will it allow me to create wildcards using my own bind server? [16:10] I've got this problem, I want to install ubuntu 8.10 on a laptop, but because i only have a 8.04 livecd i installed it via installing 8.04, and then upgrade to 8.10, however it always crashes.. Now i managed to atleast get it working for some part. There's a GDM (the 8,04 one) but i can't type in it, i can get in console, and when i type sudo apt-get upgrade, it sais 0 new, 0 to remove, and 92 not upgraded [16:10] it is empty psinetic [16:10] gamerx, right-click on the taskbar then properties > orientation [16:10] adalal, wildcard support is free [16:10] How do i fix it so it will upgrade? [16:10] it's empty? [16:10] ...odd [16:10] adalal, I have a dyndns account lol [16:10] i suppose i am using a generic droiver [16:10] gamerx, i stil cant change the themes [16:10] L1nUX1z3R, btw, i changed the theme to a new one and it seems to apply, but no icons show up [16:10] L1nUX1z3R, maybe i need a re-log, but cant as im doing the dvd rip :/ [16:10] i suppose xubuntu 9.04 didn't recognize my screen and not my card [16:10] gamerx, ok [16:11] gamerx, brb [16:11] L1nUX1z3R, so you right click it then select properties? [16:11] thijs: How did you upgrade to 8.10, via update-manager? [16:11] gamerx, yes [16:11] L1nUX1z3R, then the window comes up? [16:11] How do i install my video's card propritory drivers? I have the nVidia RIVA TNT2 Model 64 Pro [16:11] fabiobassa, , it does look like it's a driver problem. you'll probably have to go download that driver and compile it for linux. they might have a linux version available. [16:11] cody_: Have youtried System > Administration > Harware Drivers? [16:11] Jordan_U, yes, via update manager in GUI, but half way(don't know exactly when) it crashed, so i rebooted, continued the upgrade [16:12] cody_, have yyou tried hardware drivers under system - admin [16:12] yes...then you select where you want to put it in the orientation tab [16:12] gamerx, brb [16:12] L1nUX1z3R, kk' [16:12] thijs: Ok, run "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" [16:12] ok psinetic , i hoped xubuntu already had it in . ty so much for helping [16:12] gamerx and Jordan_U: Yes, I have. Nothing is in there [16:12] cody_ have you tried searching the nvidia site for linux drivers? [16:13] fabiobassa, alot of times hardware support just isn't given on linux. i would go to the website vender for your graphics card, and see if they don't have a third-party linux driver on the main site [16:13] !envy | cody_ [16:13] cody_: EnvyNG is a program to install newer version of nVidia or ATi drivers, it can be found in !Universe as "envyng-gtk" (for Gtk/Gnome) or "envyng-qt" (for Qt/KDE). It is NOT a supported method to install video drivers; please only use it if standard methods fail and at your own risk - See also !BinaryDriver [16:13] Jordan_U, doesn't that install 9.04? because the fglrx drivers are incompatible with my über video card... [16:13] ok ok i will do so [16:13] psinetic, ty again [16:13] thijs: No, that will only continue the upgrade to 8.10 [16:13] gamerx: No, i have not. I dont know if they even have it there anymore. Oh, well, it dont matter. I doubt compiz will run with the proprietory driver anyway :\ [16:13] Jordan_U, when i type lsb_release -a it tells me it's using 8.10, [16:13] really? :D === max is now known as Guest58594 [16:14] Hi, can anyone recommend a program or script that is capable of taking a bunch of pictures and making a video? [16:14] I tried Lives, but it isn't working. [16:14] cody_ it might, even try the gfx card manufacurer website? [16:14] Hi. How can I _dis_able the NX (Execute Disable) protection ? [16:14] Hi. Is there a network specialist in the house? My Ubuntu 8.04 LTS network layer just borked. [16:14] gamerx: Okay, ill look on their website [16:14] Guest42055: kino [16:14] Jordan_U, ok, thank you. Will inform you when it shows me more info, because it needs to download 200+ mb, with a not-so-fast internet connection [16:14] mne: Why? [16:15] Jordan_U, not why, how is the big question [16:15] mne: Why is my question though :) [16:15] !dist-upgrade | thijs [16:15] thijs: A dist-upgrade will install new dependencies for packages already installed and may remove packages if they are no longer needed.

Is there a way to fix/reinstall? [16:18] gamerx: Okay, i am. What if GUI happens to fail? [16:18] cody_, but it looks like it should work fine (hope i didnt jinx it) [16:18] delvien, http://tinypic.com/r/2chrtw4/4 that's the screenshot of my computer. notice all the black boxes with "no" signs on it. And this is another: http://tinypic.com/r/9i6b69/4 that shows the different "Add Applications" window that I've never seen before. [16:18] cody_, it shouldnt, although in no expert on linux [16:18] hola [16:18] gamerx: Lol okay, would i need to get out of GUI to install it? [16:19] cody_, no you would just use terminal to install it as they say on that site [16:19] ty Pici [16:19] hay alguna chica [16:19] cody_, STEP 3: Install [16:19] Kino seems to work, Jeruvy. Thanks.

[16:36] cody_, yeah they changed corg.conf, so you can't edit shit now [16:36] cody_: they are talking about "Device" section [16:36] hello everyone. [16:36] I get a total freeze when using firefox (gmail, loaded and then it freezes) [16:36] docmax learn to ask less stupid questions, read printer-manual to see what it means [16:36] is there any way of increasing the max volume, my speakers are all turned up but the noise is low :0 [16:36] amgarching: Okay, so just add lines like: Device = nVidia? [16:36] docmax-> what does http://localhost:631 tells you? am assuming it is attached to your host and not a network shared printer [16:36] cody_: "nvidia" watch the case [16:37] llutz, can be anything [16:37] is there any way to limit the usage of su to certain users? or rather prevent some users from using su? [16:37] cody_, did you install nvidia driver? [16:37] hi .. I put a CD in. Then an icon appeared on the desktop. But, it is still there when I took the CD out. How do I remove it? [16:37] amgarching: Okay, i will add that real quick [16:37] werfact: Yes, just now [16:37] windows displays a specific answer [16:37] nachox: Don't tell the root password to other users. [16:37] cody_, how? did you reboot? [16:37] If I install nvidia drivers from source, will that collide with Ubuntus proprietary driver system? [16:37] I have a Wubi Installation of Ubuntu 9.04. Is there a particular reason I am unable to mount my windows partition so that I can play my music? [16:37] docmax: windows != linux so what [16:37] docmax: without knowing make and model of the printer, is like me asking you why my car won't start. There is a thousand reasons.... [16:37] nachox-> yes prevent them with no capabilities in /etc/sudoers file [16:37] Unknown1x: It is already mounted under /host, that's why. [16:38] n8tuser: He said su, not sudo. [16:38] werfact: No i did not reboot, i shut down x server and then started it back up after install was finished. I installed the driver with the one supplied by nvidia (NVIDIA-linux......run [16:38] ) [16:38] docmax: llutz was a little harsh but he was correct in suggesting you look at the manual for the printer [16:38] IdleOne, the windows driver tell me: wrong paper format f.e. [16:38] Jordan_U, can i ask something more? I just googled a bit about internet usage, and it seems it might be my internet card failing. Would you care to help me out fixing this ? [16:38] cody_, try to reboot first [16:38] IdleOne: i'm far away from bein harsh :) [16:38] hello [16:38] docmax: then that is probably the issue. [16:38] grawity-> my coffee has not kicked in, hehe [16:38] werfact: Okay, reboot [16:38] ing [16:39] i dont know what the issue is [16:39] anybody can help me [16:39] does anyone know of a gui program that shows nearby wireless networks, and their channels, etc. [16:39] jkarlos: maybe, whats the problem [16:39] gamerx-> use command line, sudo iwlist wlan0 scan [16:39] grawity, thanks. seems so simple, but I guess you learn something everyday. ;) [16:39] ok i'm back [16:39] well, not is a real problem [16:39] nachox: To limit usage of 'su', you'll have to make sure other users don't know the root password. 'su' does not support other ways - the reasons are described in http://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/manual/html_node/su-invocation.html [16:39] just, im looking for a sofware [16:39] nachox: To limit usage of 'sudo', you'll just remove the users from the 'admin' group. [16:40] maby a MRP system o logitic [16:40] how do you set yourself as "here" in xchat? [16:40] or logistic [16:40] psinetic: Try /back [16:40] nachox-> besides, not knowing the password of the other users, that user cannot su to the new user [16:40] psinetic: /back [16:40] Graviton, su can do more than switching to the root user, and i have a couple of users sharing their passwords, so not disclosing the root password doesnt help here. They dont have it already [16:40] n8tuser, okay thats great, allthough i asked for gui [16:40] hmmmmm ok [16:40] cups reports: "If you have more than one Canon iP3500 series printer connected to this machine, please unload (and blacklist) the "usblp" kernel module as otherwise CUPS will not be able to distinguish your printers." [16:40] why would I not have a context menu when I right click on the desktop? [16:41] (???) === Kilo-Tango-Whisk is now known as Kilo-Tango [16:41] nachox: Well, if user A gives his password to user B, what is the difference between B using 'su', and B simply logging out and logging in again? [16:41] werfact: Okay, now what? I finished rebooting [16:41] nachox: to be most secure, make the root passord nearly impossible (i.e. 64 char upper+lower+num+symbol) then simply remove everyone but your admin user from the admin group, also check /etc/sudoers that also limits who can sudo (which is similar) [16:41] docmax: i haven't had that problem before, but have you tried removing all printers and reinstalling them? [16:42] nachox-> perhaps you give a case of what your intentions really are.. [16:42] xguru, i will try... one sec [16:42] Graviton, responsability assignment [16:43] omg you have GOT to be freaking kidding me >_> [16:43] and suauth is what i was looking for [16:43] ugh!!! >_> [16:43] i have a quick and probably easy question, where is the shutdown/reboot/logout timer on jaunty? i want to edit that 30 seconds down to 5 or 10 secs [16:43] nchox: If you hate typing sudo every time, I would suggest removing everyone (but root) from admin, iirc that removed the use of sudo which should be in /sbin/ (non admin cannot see this) then simply add your admin approved users to /etc/sudoers and use sudo -s -H for perm sudo per session [16:43] now amsn is gone too. freaking great [16:43] hi!! [16:44] Can anybody help me with the following ethernet problem? I did a cat /var/log/dmesg | grep eth and i saw this error: ACPI Error(psparse-0530); Method parse/execution failed [\_SB_.PCI0.P0P2.PEGP.LCD ._BQC] (Node f7414978), AE_AML_OPERAND_TYPE [16:44] I have OpenSuse & Windows 7 dual booting...

I mean the system freezes after about 5~10 minutes [16:47] e66: http://138.77.5.99/oswins/doc/mathematics.html [16:47] My Update Manager says: you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. but i can't figure out what to do in sudo once i go there [16:47] HMM [16:47] sorry [16:47] :) [16:47] werfact: I need to edit xorg.conf to where it allows me to add those lines [16:47] hello. i have an kubuntu 9.04 installation and for some reasons i have installed GDM to access to the system. The problem is taht when an normal user start session GDM says "creating /home/user directory" and i want to quit this message. anybody knows where is it?

[16:47] B9: Go to a terminal, and then run this command, exactly like it told you: sudo dpkg --configure -a [16:47] B9: you have to manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' <<< [16:47] e66: http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=9881 [16:48] in kubuntu when i uncheck the confirms in stystem settings it no longer shows me the options, just drops to a login screen [16:48] werfact: Im going to restart gdm one last time [16:48] thijs: looses network connection? or literally freeses?

[16:51] werfact: okay [16:51] miha: Thanks, I got bunch of things. [16:51] how is it possibe? [16:51] thijs: this doesnt need to be network. Check if it runs longer in runlevel 2 or 3. (execute "init 2" or add "2" at the grub prompt) [16:52] amgarching, alright, will try that [16:52] werfact: http://www.crowsons.net/puters/txt/xorg.conf.fcm.txt like that? [16:52] thijs: I use Cups-Lock to chek the LED in such cases [16:52] amgarching, thijs: In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. [16:53] is there any command or downloadable terminal command to allow me to create my own xorg.conf file without editing it myself? [16:53] amgarching, that one doesn't switch either. Anyway, do i just add a 2 in the grub kernel entry? (like after the "ro splash") [16:53] cody_, yeah that should work, just make sure you put them under right places, if you mess up, you can restore a backup from a console [16:53] thijs, Pici: then run "stop gdm" right after boot, see what Pici had told [16:53] hello [16:54] thank you for the explanation Pici [16:54] werfact: okay [16:54] ciao [16:54] !list [16:54] This is not a file sharing channel (or network). If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » [16:55] ok, so do i login via the gdm, or do I already switch to different runlevel ? [16:56] I don't seem to have java on firefox 3.5.3. How can I install it? [16:56] thijs: login first, then stop the graphics subsystem by "sudo stop gdm", then stress-test your network scp/wget [16:56] amgarching, alright [16:58] thijs: you dont even need to login into graphics, type Cnrtl-Alt-F1, login there and then "sudo stop gdm" [16:58] amgarching, umm, i just entered 'sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop' but i just see a black screen with a flickering character in the left corner.

[17:24] Is there a possibility of installing a different distro from a livecd without installing the livecd? [17:24] thijs: no idea. Ask people what is known about your ATI. I've met only Intel/Nvidia. Next thing I would try is to put Device = "vesa" into Driver section of /etc/X11/xorg.conf, it will be terribly slow, but will test the graphics subsytem [17:24] llutz: i am using hp nc6220 laptop .. and here is the lshw http://pastebin.com/f798634ee [17:25] amgarching, alright..

[17:26] n8tuser, whe have to struggle cause we use ubuntu [17:27] I've created a developer group and added several developer users to that group. My user account's home has a "tools" folder that contains a couple of command line applications that I want other developers to be able to use. Where should I move these applications so that current and new users can use them? I'm guessing there is a proper location for such things.

[17:27] llutz: http://pastebin.com/feacdab4 [17:27] driver support is choppy [17:27] docmax-> what? your blaming ubuntu? perhaps use a better printer like HP ? [17:27] n8tuser: I have a backgrounded process, I log out of the gnome interface, and when I come back it is complaining that the network disappeared.

The problem is that nm-applet/NetworkManager kills the connection when I log out of the graphical interface. I can background the process just fine. [17:30] whileimhere-> i think i advise you of this before, unless you get yourself familiar with routing, do not have two interfaces on same subnet (served by same router) [17:30] hi === jesse is now known as Guest75146 [17:30] llutz: can't do it dynamically.. like dpkg-reconfiure something? [17:30] maurer_-> you can try do disable nm-applet and just use the /etc/network/interfaces file [17:31] wich program i need to install programs because i get errors [17:31] n8tuser: OK, do we have any nice config tools for setting up WPA there, or is it just an edit by hand deal at this point? [17:31] I'm at the partitioning part of the install of ubuntu 9.04. I am wanting to know if Ext 3 or Ext 4 is better (P.S. i am going to upgrade to karmic koala after) [17:31] ActionParsnip: what do you mean by !dialup ?? [17:32] maurer_-> by hand, and all those can be controlled via the /etc/nework/if-up.d [17:32] maurer_-> man interfaces [17:32] I'll just use Ext 4 [17:32] Rumo-> you require dial up access still? [17:32] cody____: karmic uses ext4 default. so use ext4, wether is is better or worse is a matter of opinion. ext4 works fine here with jaunty [17:32] IdleOne: Okay, thank you [17:33] n8tuser: no have no access here (dial up) [17:33] any know how to use Kismet? i got this program running and it was probing wireless networks around me. but when i tried to close out the program, my wireless connections stopped working. i can get my wireless up until i reboot my computer. why is that?

[17:37] ActionParsnip: i read this before... [17:37] Rumo: thats how you get modems working [17:37] mortezaes: becouse if you read sda1 and then restored to sda you loose the mbr and table of parition etc [17:37] ah [17:37] sorry [17:38] not in the right room [17:38] ok erUSUL , thank u [17:38] what is a good video card for ubuntu, when building a nice desktop?

[17:55] nerdy_kid: and sftp = ftp over ssh, not ftp with ssl [17:55] llutz: seems wrong to me [17:55] nerdy_kid: you mean ftps [17:55] thanks nerdy_kid i have found a wokaround i will reboot to try it now... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2346494#post2346494 [17:55] i tried that http://eklenet.de/archives/Funktionstasten-des-SL500-unter-Linux-9.html but it doesnt work, can somebody help me? [17:55] thijs: they seem to be discussing "radeon" vs. "fglrx" drivers for ATI on the internets, learn which you are using, learn the difference. Eventualy try both.

I am sure that it needs X [18:08] whileimhere: so why not using a very small de? [18:08] callnett: id yu add this line to your /etc/apt/sources.list you can use apt-get to install it: deb http://archive.canonical.com/ jaunty partner [18:09] iceroot: I rebooted. It takes me to the CL [18:09] whileimhere: xfce4 or smaller [18:09] datz did you install the nvidia driver through the Hardware Drivers program?

[18:11] Is there a simple way to get a list of packages installed on my machine that are additional to the default install? I want to upgrade my distro from Hardy Studio to Jaunty Desktop but I dont want to retain all the Studio stuff, just the extra packages I installed myself. [18:11] whileimhere: at loginscreen choose fluxxbox session [18:12] nerdy_kid, just waiting for updates to finish before I can install. thanks. ;) [18:12] iceroot: okay [18:12] ActionParsnip: ok thanks [18:12] whileimhere: and at your program to autostart but i dont now fluxxbox so dont know how to autostart there something+ === tj83_ is now known as TuxIT09 [18:13] whileimhere: to auto start program once fluxbox start add a line in .fluxbox/startup [18:13] datz ok if u have any issues find me on ubuntu forums; i use nvidia and have done some extensive tweaking ;) [18:14] nerdy_kid, thanks, appreciate it [18:14] hello, very stupid question, why when i divide 1/C2 in openoffice calc i get a date instead of the value? [18:14] datz no problem :) [18:15] hello? [18:15] The Jesus Thanks I will try that [18:15] how can I run an script as root? I think chmod +s must do it but it asks password (sudo password I guess) [18:15] !sudo [18:15] 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) [18:15] hi miranda [18:16] miranda_: Ask in a oppen office dev chan , bit to specific [18:16] hi everybody [18:16] hy [18:16] how i can see what's the refresh rate ? [18:16] and how can i chage it? [18:16] i would imagine you should set calc up to do calculus [18:16] nerdy_kid, just trying to get my dual monitor setup working, am I heading in the right direction? [18:16] is XGM faster then GDM === Dynamit3 is now known as sjefen6 === acerna is now known as moltenbobcat [18:17] Where does the popularity in the Package Manager come from? Actual installations? Is there some sort of "voting" somewhere? [18:17] i don't think it can be done though [18:17] wickoo: You're almost right about chmod +s - but 1) it doesn't work for scripts anymore, only for binary executables, and 2) that executable must request the new privileges using setreuid(), simply having the setuid bit is not enough. [18:17] okay going nuts. My system still boots into the command line not the gdm [18:17] whileimhere: yes , or just type startx in tty even lighter [18:17] use the calculator in scientific [18:17] Aurus: IIRC, there's a package that reports what you have installed to Them. [18:17] hi miranda [18:17] you still there? [18:17] Aurus: popularity-something, don't remember the exact name. [18:17] grawity: Okay, so it's actual installs. Thanks! :) [18:18] popularity-contest [18:18] or popcon as its known [18:18] miranda, refer this tutorial.. it may help you http://www.tutorialsforopenoffice.org/tutorial/Spreadsheet_Math.html [18:19] unop: grawity: Is there anywhere one can see raw data on packages? ie: If I'm comparing two similar packages, one is 1 star, the other 4. I can estimate, but curious if I can see numbers? [18:19] Aurus: http://popcon.ubuntu.com/ seems to be it. [18:19] http://eklenet.de/archives/Funktionstasten-des-SL500-unter-Linux-9.html i can control the sound but can´t control the brightness. [18:20] grawity: Duh, I found that right after I asked :) [18:20] Aurus, hmm, not sure - I would delve into the sourcecode for popcon and start looking there [18:20] how do i know the RAM size of my computer? [18:20] Rumo, free [18:20] grawity: Thanks! But I have a cgi script that executes the useradd command (I don't know if the whole idea is good or not). What should I do now? It can not be binary [18:20] interesting.......can one indeed use calculus in calc? [18:20] wickoo: Find out what user does the script run as. Edit the sudoers file to allow passworless useradd to that user. [18:20] hwilde: thank you [18:21] ActionParsnip:sorry but is not working [18:21] grawity: Nice idea! thanks again [18:21] Rumo, go to System ---> Administration ---> System Monitor [18:21] wickoo: And for added security, make a wrapper for useradd, to disallow creating users with uid=0 :) [18:22] callnett: ok lets clarify. Did you run: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list ? [18:22] cbone, I never heard about that.. heh [18:22] nor i [18:22] grawity: What does your last message mean? ;) [18:22] grawity, then perhaps, a dpkg-divert for the new actual location of useradd? :) [18:22] :) [18:23] unop: Not necessary, as it's a cgi script calling useradd - and it's enough to modify that one with the new path, IMO. [18:24] how can i alter sudo's PATH? [18:24] wickoo: Eh, I'm just saying that since your addition to sudoers ( www-data ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: /path/to/adduser ) allows CGI scripts to add new users, someone might found a way of tricking your script into creating a user whose uid equals 0 (and all users with uid=0 have root privileges automatically) [18:24] seems like it ignores /etc/environment [18:25] should i delete the module and try it with the source? [18:25] hi. I have a laptop and a desktop machine with ubuntu 9.04 on both. I installed sensors-applet, and on the laptop it shows CPU and other temperatures. on the desktop it doesn't, only the GPU temp (and hdd). what's wrong? [18:26] callnett: its a simple question [18:26] thank you firdau5 [18:26] it's not some old machine, it's an intel i7-920 with some gigabyte mobo. do I need to do something to get it to show cpu temps? [18:26] welcome [18:26] ActionParsnip: i dont know, everithing is hard. Is a simple think and become a complicated hiber tech [18:26] lm-sensors cemc [18:26] cemc install lm-sensors [18:27] callnett: ok run the command, it will open the sources file for you, let me know when it is opened [18:27] hello, is there a document management solution for ubuntu? [18:27] anyone know of any good OCR software for linux?

[18:28] !info ocr [18:28] Package ocr does not exist in jaunty [18:28] Package ocr does not exist in jaunty [18:28] !msgthebot [18:28] Please investigate with me only with "/msg ubottu Bot" or in #ubuntu-bots.

[18:29] wickoo: A little more limiting, maybe. An oneliner like this: exec useradd -m -g users "$1"; <-- that way the wrapper will be bullet-proof against various script kiddies. [18:29] Pici, thanks [18:29] wickoo: Of course, if you write a wrapper, then you need to add that, _not_ useradd itself, to sudoers. [18:29] hi, any idea why pidgin 2.6.2 does not flash the items on the taskbar (e.g. when i get a new message) it just stays white [18:30] cemc: http://howto-ubuntu.com/2008/02/14/how-to-monitor-cpu-temperature/ [18:30] callnett: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list [18:30] v0lksman, you can refer to this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OCR [18:30] grawity: yeah, got it!

[18:33] grawity: I have a samba file server. Users store their files with windows client. It also has a apache server which serves static stored files. I have written some script for managing users on file server. I need to have some sort of web admin. And since I had apache I thought it might be good to use cgi instead of socket programming!

[20:04] mlissner: hm. thinking. [20:04] j0nr, ifconfig has eth0 ? [20:05] i don't understand... i use it in ubuntu... but it has nothing to do with ubuntu? [20:05] bazhang: no, just lo [20:05] mlissner: stupid question: these m4a files aren't protected are they? [20:05] jess^: They'd have the .m4p extension, then. [20:05] jess^: Nah - I thought of that too. I made them myself (foolishly) [20:05] J0nr what does lspci show as the device name [20:05] i was thinking that somehow, ubuntu might have been slowed by wine? [20:06] grawity: right you are. again, sleep dep [20:06] lol [20:06] Mikel: if you are using a program with wine then ubuntu has nothing to do with it [20:06] Mikel: #winehq will hopefully be more help. [20:06] ok, so the 2 are paralell programs, totally independant of each other. [20:07] y0 [20:07] bazhang: i cant see a network device in lspci other than the wireless one i think [20:07] j0nr, please paste.ubuntu.com with the output of lspci [20:08] hmm, not easy as the pc has not network connection bazhang [20:08] how do i find my sound devices?

[20:09] j0nr, right, what about ethernet devices then (just a single line here) [20:10] bazhang: no mention of ethernet devices in lspci [20:10] in photoshop one would just click on the desired layer... no dice here, unless i anchor the layer, but that seems to merge it [20:10] someone wants an invite for www.lockerz.com ? [20:10] Lockerz_Invites, wrong channel please stop [20:10] mgmuscari1: you need to convert the floating layer to a real layer, then you can merge it [20:10] Lockerz_Invites: No ads here [20:10] mgmuscari1: right click on the layer and do new layer [20:10] Is any one here familiar with Wubi Installations?

What do you mean "change group"? [20:19] bazhang: 3.0 closed source [20:20] hi ! What does "[sda] Add. Sense: Unrecovered read error" mead ? [20:20] bazhang: ill try a live cd [20:20] bazhang: 3.0.8 closed source to be exact [20:20] So does anyone know how to get Autofs to work in Ubuntu? (It works fine for me in openSUSE.) [20:20] jack87, you may also wish to post a question in #vbox while you wait for an answer here [20:21] flanders: chgrp. When you say permission I think of chmod [20:21] s/mead/mean/ [20:21] !autofs | flanders [20:21] flanders: Automount is the modern way to mount directories over a network. It is much easier to manage and more economic in bandwidth than static mounts via fstab. For more info - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Autofs [20:21] Len_: That's what I meant. Whoever is the owner of the file/folder can chgrp. [20:21] ugh is there a good x264 driver that is free and that utilizies both cpu cores? [20:21] good call thanks bazhang [20:21] ortsvorsteher: I've already tried there, but no luck. [20:22] how can i manually trigger automount? the device was attached at boot time and i just want to mount now w [20:22] jack87, I would make sure you have the guest additions and kernel headers installed as well [20:22] i got the sound to work... but supposedly my comp isnt powerful enough to watch movies [20:22] flanders: i didn't use id, so i have no experience... only that link :( [20:22] ortsvorsteher: no problem, but thanks. [20:22] :) [20:23] bazhang: i do have guest edition installed as for kernel headers how would i install thenm [20:23] ortsvorsteher: It's strange because it works on openSUSE, without requiring anything special. [20:23] flanders: strange. I got a folder here with my user as owner/group and i cant change its grp [20:23] flanders: did you read the man page? is there any? [20:23] ortsvorsteher: But on both of my Ubuntu computers, it does not work. Manually mounting CIFS works fine, but not with Autofs (automatically.) [20:23] flanders: 755 chmod [20:23] ortsvorsteher: Yes, but it does not tell me anything I didn't try. [20:24] flanders: strange... [20:24] Len_: You are the owner and typing "chgrp GROUPNAME FOLDERNAME" doesn't work? [20:25] flanders: you use it to automount your usb drives? [20:26] ortsvorsteher: No, to mount a CIFS network share. [20:26] flanders: yes, i'd take u a shot but I dont know to do that on terminal only linux [20:26] flanders, ah, okay... [20:26] ortsvorsteher: If I use the fstab, I can connect to the CIFS share, no problems. But I want to use autofs (for a few reasons), but on Ubuntu it just doesn't work / do anything. [20:27] Len_: what do you mean? [20:27] flanders: i only found something about autofs and ubuntu for usb drives [20:27] ortsvorsteher: Link me? It might have something in it. [20:27] flanders: you can read and understand german? [20:27] flanders: the linux I am trying to change permission dont have GUI, only shell [20:28] Len_: The command would be: chgrp GROUPNAME FOLDERNAME [20:28] Len_: For example: chgrp admin backups [20:28] Question: I need to setup Ubuntu Server 9.04 so I can run a localhost web server as a kind of sandbox for web apps and projects, what do I need to do to allow everyone to access the webserver behind the Virtualbox NAT...? [20:29] Len_: Or: chgrp admin /mnt/backups [20:29] you can also use chown :group Target [20:29] flanders: may you have an translator http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/USB-Datenträger_automatisch_einbinden [20:29] flanders: I got what the erro is, the grp Im trying to change Im not part of it [20:29] ortsvorsteher: Nope, only english, sorry. [20:29] Len_: Then try: sudo chgrp GROUPNAME FOLDERNAME [20:29] everyone (local) i don't need this outside. [20:30] flanders: and that's the point of my question :) as root (with sudo) it works [20:30] ortsvorsteher: Looking at the configuration they use, it's the same thing I am doing. [20:31] Len_: Oh, okay. I thought you weren't able to change the group, even as the file owner. But I never knew you mean a group that you are not in.

Do I need to sudo a2dissite first, whenever changing my virtual host configuration? [21:01] Eitan: i guess that in a blank disk guided paritionening makes no sense ?? maybe it only appears when there is dual boot scenario [21:01] callnett, and what is the exact error message you get [21:01] bazhang: give me a sec. [21:01] ortsvorsteher: yes [21:01] mdmcginn: I usually restart the apache2 daemon after making changes, I don't know if doing a reload is sufficient though.

It doesn't give me the option for guided partitioning with that either. In any case guided partitioning is necessary if you want to make separate partitions for /home or other directories. [21:02] ahtmly2k, you need to use command line to extract it, or run nautilus with root permissions [21:02] how do I run a .c file ?

No Problems with my desktop. It is on a Dell Vostro 1500 with an intel duo 1.8 ghz per core proccessor and 4 gig ddr2 ram. this shouldent be a hardware problem and I am running full g 54mps so it shouldent be a hardware problem [21:03] bazhang: bad file descriptor [21:03] admeral: 8.10 is actsaully also my favourite release since 8.04 however since Ext4... [21:03] admeral: Is this a pre installed Ubuntu Dell? [21:03] erUSUL: I understand that, but the point is that I don't know enough to do fully manual partitioning, and I don't want a single partition for the whole installation either. Guided partitioning is exactly what I need and it seems to be missing from jaunty. [21:04] Guest62815: after you exported your display, try the echo command new, there you see if it was set [21:04] ahtmly2k, gksu nautilus, type that in the propmpt you get aftr you hit Alt+F2 [21:04] admeral: Also it sounds like a broken package manager. [21:04] ortsvorsteher: the public ip of client right? [21:04] Eitan: i was thinking it shows up if you have a section of unallocated drive space. (but ive not installed jaunty in ages), [21:04] ortsvorsteher: on both sides I have routers [21:05] hello [21:05] Guest62815: yes, the public ip from where you come to remote machine [21:05] hello [21:05] bazhang: r u still here?

[21:07] bazhang: does this have to do with file system corruption === Cornscout2 is now known as CornwallScouts2 [21:07] ortsvorsteher: do I need to open any port on client? [21:07] Eitan: i see... [21:07] bazhang: so if i download the ubuntu on a flash driver can i reinstall?simply [21:07] Eitan: i tend to just use gparted from the live cd to set up the partitions as i like. then run the installer and tell it where to put / and /home and swap. (i normally just use 3 parittions) [21:08] Guest62815: do you have any firewalls between your client and the remote machine? [21:08] bazhang: i actually get the error "mount: can't find /dev/sda5 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab [21:08] like 4 :D === ubuntu__ is now known as CornwallScouts4 [21:08] callnett, you currently have jaunty?

[21:09] bazhang: sorr [21:09] callnett, 9.04 [21:09] test [21:09] ortsvorsteher: so if there are firewalls in the middle it doesn't work? [21:09] Dr_Willis: I will try to do that. But what happened to "guided" in jaunty????? [21:09] bazhang: i dont know === m4v_ is now known as m4v [21:10] callnett, in terminal type lsb_release -a [21:10] Pici, http://myoldsite.com is still working, but not http://mynewsite.com. All my updates to sites-available are taking effect, except the virtual host name isn't changing. myoldsite no longer exists in sites-enabled or sites-available. I renamed the directory, and I'm reaching it through the old virtual host name. [21:10] ortsvorsteher: is there any alternative? [21:10] Guest62815: you need it for edit some files on remote machine? yes, if you have firewalls in the middle, it wont work... [21:10] Guest62815: what exactly you need to do? an remote machine? [21:10] I need to use eclipse, firefox [21:10] Dr_Willis: I can attest to the fact that there in all the screenshots for the jaunty installation on the web, there is not one with the "guided" option on the partitioning screen. I don't think jaunty has a guided option. The question is why not. [21:11] bazhang: 9.10karmik [21:11] ortsvorsteher: I need to access eclipse ide, firefox [21:12] Guest62815: sorry, i have no idea, you are the manager of the firewalls? may you have to open some ports or ... wait...

[21:13] why the speakers could make noise when i close the monitor lid?

[21:14] is there a way to increase my partition while in ubuntu or do i have to use the live cd and redo my partitions? [21:14] Dr_Willis: gparted doesn't have guided partitioning either. [21:14] http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ org/freenode/ Does this work for anyone?

Does jaunty have a "guided" partitioning option? [21:16] Eitan: That is the main partition choice [21:16] yes eitan [21:16] Eitan: Do you mean manual? [21:17] cody_: not on my screen it isn't. [21:17] Eitan: What does your screen say? [21:17] on my new ubuntu (9.04) where is xsane copying things to? how do i set it? [21:17] cody_: no... I don't mean manual. The only choices it gives me is "use the entire disk" or manual... there is no mention of the word "guided" [21:18] does anyone know where the usplash_XXX_YYY.png.c files are? [21:18] i have the usplash source here and i'm trying to modify it to take a larger pixmap [21:18] cody_: It looks like this one (but this is not my screen and I am not using a virtualbox) http://i547.photobucket.com/albums/hh454/unixmen/ubuntu/16.png [21:18] Eitan: Use the entire disk is half of the guided. Sometimes (If you are lucky) it will allow you to choose co-exist with another operating system. You might have to do it manually (are you keepin gwindows also?) [21:18] Why is it that gnome system monitor reports that I'm using 157MB of ram but the "free" command reports that I'm using 630MB ? [21:19] Eitan: Do you have an operating system installed on it already? [21:19] !usplash | mgmuscari1 [21:19] mgmuscari1: To select the usplash artwork you want, use "sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so && sudo update-initramfs -u" - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto for adding your custom artwork [21:19] I'm having trouble burning the Ubuntu ISO on my Mac... It never stops writing the track, and when I do it with another program called Burn, it gives an error. [21:19] erUSUL: i'm making my own custom usplash... i'm trying to figure out where the heck the includes are [21:19] Arelis: Is it a supported disk? [21:19] mgmuscari1: bootsplash in grub.conf (Or it used to be) [21:19] cody_: It's a verbatim dvd-r [21:19] cody_: no the "use the entire disk" option does not allow me to be guided... it simply makes one big partition for the whole installation. I want to make a separate partition for home. I do not know enough to do manual... so I need the guided option that has been in all the previous versions but seems to be missing from jaunty. [21:19] err [21:19] Arelis: Because certain CDs dont work with certain programs (IDK why, but it is) [21:19] cd-r [21:20] sorry [21:20] sigh... [21:20] Arelis: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [21:20] mgmuscari1: bootsplash in grub.conf (Or it used to be [21:20] ok, i have the source code to usplash... it's a tree of code that you compile into a .so [21:20] Eitan: I will guide you through the manual option for that (you need to do it manually for a seperate /home)(= [21:20] i know how to deploy it and test it [21:20] Arelis: Did you choose the DVD Iso from ubuntu's website? [21:20] mgmuscari1: The image should reside on the boot partition, IE: /boot... [21:20] cody_: I have windows installed on a second drive. Having that drive plugged in or disconnected during the installation does not make any difference in whether I see a "guided" option or not. The guided option is nowhere to be found. [21:20] cody_: No. [21:20] WanHouse: i know that... i'm trying to BUILD the image [21:21] hmmm [21:21] Arelis: That is probably why, you need the DVD iso ;) [21:21] Arelis: If you are using a DVD-r [21:21] booting vbox now [21:21] cody_: It isn't a dvd-r, it is a cd-r, I just corrected myself in 3 lines. [21:21] Eitan: Okay, well, open manual and i will guide you throrgh it [21:21] on my new ubuntu (9.04) where is xsane copying things to? how do i set it? [21:21] Arelis: I did not see it because i am helping multiple people, sorry. What is the error you get? [21:21] mgmuscari1: Its like the Tiger i once built on the C64 :) [21:21] cody_: ok... my drive size is exactly 30020 megabytes, if that helps. [21:22] cody_: With the program Burn, it just says that the burning failed.. and with the Disk Utility, it just keeps on burning forever. [21:22] Eitan: So it is less than 8GB? [21:22] hehe i'm trying to make the splash png be 1440x900 [21:22] mgmuscari1: 128x128 or something like that. Awesome! [21:22] mgmuscari1: Cool [21:22] cody_: 30020 megabytes, not 3020 megabytes [21:22] Arelis: Hmm... How big is the CD-R? (Different companys have different sizes) [21:22] cody_: 800MB [21:23] Eitan: oooh, okay. So, are you in manual? [21:23] but the usplash-theme-ubuntu source code only accounts for up to 600x500 [21:23] <{Onyx}> Am I retarded or is GPG email signing with Evolution broken? Works fine in Thunderbird but Evolution gives an error about not being able to find the private key. [21:23] Arelis: Okay, bigger than needed (good) and does the mac give you any info whatsoever on why it failed? [21:23] cody_: no. [21:23] {Onyx}: works for me [21:23] I'm on another computer in another room entirely. So it would be nice to get all the instructions at once... otherwise I'll have to go back and forth for each instruction. [21:23] Arelis: That makes it much harder to fix haha. [21:24] <{Onyx}> erUSUL: What version? [21:24] mgmuscari1: Do not ever give up any of your goals. Ps: id like to know how you did that because i can only color my boot menu or make is background be a picture. [21:24] WanHouse: how adept are you at programming in c? [21:24] cody_: This is the last CD-R i'm allowed to use. [21:24] {Onyx}: jaunty but have allways worked for me and i used every single ubuntu version [21:24] Arelis, this is using OS X ? [21:24] mgmuscari1: Kind of ok [21:24] cody_: the ubuntu people saw it fit to not include a chat program on the installation cd... I would have to retrieve that with synaptic. === girlsname is now known as gn-away [21:24] bazhang: yes [21:24] WanHouse: i'm following this tutorial: http://www.flyninja.net/?p=884 [21:24] Arelis, how does ubuntu support fit into this [21:24] mgmuscari1: I make www.gadmintools.org for one [21:25] Should my Mini 10v be able to playback 480p videos on Hulu? [21:25] WanHouse: now i'm tracing through the source code to modify it to my needs === gn-away is now known as girlsname [21:25] <{Onyx}> erUSUL: Was talking about Evolution version. Because my email encryption works but if I check of to sign the email it fails. [21:25] mgmuscari1: The page is slow to read though. [21:25] Eitan: Okay, here it goes: Open the manual partitioning in install, and select "Create New Partition" and choose Ext3 as the filesystem, set it to 8192 MB. Next, and in the mount point, choose /. Next, create another partition, Ext3 again, and have it fill the rest of the hard drive. Then as the mount point, choose /home. Check format for both. (And there is a chat program on the Install CD {Unless you have alrenative} it is pidgin IM, in internet) [21:25] hi, just installed daily karmic build and no sound out of amarok. but sound ok for the rest [21:25] {Onyx}: there is one to one correspondence between evolution version and ubuntu version [21:26] luc_, #ubuntu+1 for karmic [21:26] sorry ? [21:26] {Onyx}: but is 2.26.1 in jaunty [21:26] luc_: Type /join #ubuntu+1 [21:26] <{Onyx}> erUSUL: Hmmm, I'll dig through my settings then because I can't get it to work. [21:26] bazhang: Hanging ok ? :) [21:26] luc_: ubuntu+1 is the official support room for karmic koala (9.10) [21:27] {Onyx}: you only have to put the key id in the account preferences [21:27] <{Onyx}> erUSUL: Did [21:27] http://www.abload.de/image.php?img=logo-edubuntu2h6uo.png [21:27] what do you think? [21:27] :D [21:27] ente: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [21:28] hey channel [21:28] {Onyx}: maybe a typo (if it does not encounter the key...) [21:28] Eitan: actually, leave at least 2GB for a swap partition [21:28] does ubuntu keep it's config for X someplace odd? [21:28] <{Onyx}> erUSUL: And the encryption works fine just not the signing and the signing works fine with Thunder [21:28] cody_: Thanks. I will try to follow that... (by the way... I stand by my assertion that "guided" has been removed from jaunty, and no one seems to know why) [21:28] i'm looking at my xorg.conf and it's barren [21:28] any idea why my file copies are so slow? i have two discs in this machine and cp'ing or rsync'ing a 4gb file seems to transfer at 5MB/sec or so, which is terrible. dd bs=1M transfers at around 10M/sec, which is still terrible but only half as terrible. copying to an external USB drive is 20+ MB/sec [21:28] Eitan: It practically has, because it NEVER works. I got it to work the FIRST time i installed xD [21:28] cody_: oh boy... I'll need instructions for that too.... [21:28] Eitan: And your welcome [21:28] {Onyx}: i guess you made a typo when specifying the key id [21:28] i don't see anything in dmesg indicating i/o errors [21:29] <{Onyx}> erUSUL: is there a another spot to put the signing key ID? [21:29] {Onyx}: encryption uses the recipient key that evo finds via the mail adress but signing needs your secret key id [21:29] Eitan: Haha. Just leave 2GB after making the 2nd ext3 (for /home) and create a linux-swap filesystem, put nothing in the mount point and format it as well [21:29] I seem to be unable to upload to my PPA. dput claims it does upload it, but nothing happens on the PPA web page in launchpad. [21:29] Should my Mini 10v be able to playback 480p videos on Hulu? [21:29] {Onyx}: what do you type as key id ? [21:30] hmm, now dd has also slowed to 4M/sec [21:30] just a quick question, what is the best program for recording your desktop as an avi file? [21:30] <{Onyx}> erUSUL: Think I found the issue. The key ID is 93ACDC3E and I had a c in front of it. [21:31] {Onyx}: so I was right ;P cheers [21:31] Ubuntu is telling me I don't have permission to unmount a DVD, is there a custom command I can use to override this? [21:31] <{Onyx}> erUSUL: Strange though because I was sending encrypted mail to myself and everything was working fine. [21:31] sudo [21:31] Hi, i got an annoying problem, i installed gnome global menu so i coudl show someone how you could make ubuntu look like MAC OSX, but now im trying to restor the original gnome layout but dispite removing global menu from the system in synaptec i still cant get back my normal window menus :( can anyone help? [21:31] bcool: Try using: sudo umount (where the dvdrom is located) [21:31] <{Onyx}> erUSUL: Thanks for getting me to recheck it :) [21:32] {Onyx}: no problem [21:32] so something like this bcool: sudo umount /media/cdrom0 (but it will likely not be cdrom0 since it is a dvdrom :p) [21:32] anyone able to help on he q35 express on hardy. no compiz [21:32] >.< [21:33] Ronnie: maybe the command that sets the panels back to default, will help, or partly help [21:33] unmount command not found [21:33] Ronnie: The original menu for ubuntu is: Menu Bar [21:33] cody_: I'm on the target computer in the live ubuntu system now. [21:33] eitan2: okay, need the instructions one by one? [21:33] bazhang: Because it's about burning the Ubuntu ISO on OSX, but i'm going to try it on my parents's windows pc [21:33] Just re install it through apt yea? [21:33] <{Onyx}> Sweet, working now. Just need to send myself a test email and check it in gmail to see if it signs all funky like Thunderbird did. [21:33] Menubar or.. [21:33] bcool: Not unmount, umount [21:33] cody_: that would be nice... I'll run the installation program again... or should I just use gparted? [21:33] Ronnie: Have you done a Mac OS X theme as well? [21:34] eitan2: Use the installer, gparted cant set the mount positions [21:34] cody_: got it. [21:34] sebsebseb: Yea, somone wanted to see it done now im tryign to set it all back XD [21:34] eitan2: Let me know when you are in manual partitioner [21:34] Ronnie: so change the theme back to the Ubuntu one in the normal way? [21:35] sebsebseb: I have gotten the perfect mac OSX theme, but i was forced to restore ubuntu <_< and im too lazy to set it up again cause it took several days [21:35] Ronnie: you didn't have to pm that [21:35] Sry :p [21:35] I did do that, but the nomal menus are not restored. Fiel edit etc [21:36] ah, i got it [21:36] Ronnie: Oh, you mean in programs? [21:36] cody_: ok... let me tell you the setup... I have a blank 30gig drive set as master, and a separate bootable 40g windows 2000 drive set up as slave. [21:36] Yea, [21:36] channel [21:36] add an extern struct corresponding to the larger usplash pixmap in the usplash-theme-ubuntu.c file [21:36] add a corresponding entry in the makefile [21:36] how do i get ubuntu to write a complete xorg.conf [21:36] and that should do it [21:36] eitan2: Okay, and the blank 30gig will hold ubuntu? [21:36] anyway to tell what I am supposed to put in place of cdrom0 [21:36] cody_: the screen "prepare disk space" is up and it says that "this computer has windows 2000 on it" where do you want to put ubuntu? [21:36] Ronnie: okay, usually, you can right click the top bar and choose "Show Menu" [21:37] cody_: yes... the blank one is for ubuntu [21:37] eitan2: Is the 40g windows 2000 plugged in usb? [21:37] nm I think I found it [21:37] cody_: no.. both are ide [21:38] Hellow [21:38] eitan2: Okay, lets see. open up manual partitioner, and there should be a drop down in the top right of the screen. One will have a ntfs partition on it, the other with nothing. The other with nothing is the one you want [21:38] Does anyone know how to make the extra slide-out monitor work in Ubuntu? [21:38] cody_: the options are "install side by side" "use entire disk" "use largest free space" and "specify partitions manually" [21:38] Awsome I got it. [21:38] cody: I cant find that anywhere. [21:38] Thanks for the help. [21:38] eitan2: Specify partitions manually [21:38] cody_: ok.. scanning disks [21:38] eitan2: Okay [21:38] Does anyone know how to modify the file in this tutorial? They don't really give a good explanation other than "modify it!": http://www.howtoforge.com/accessing_windows_or_samba_shares_using_autofs [21:38] I say again, does anyone know how to make the Lenovo Thinkpad W700DS's extra monitor work in Ubuntu? [21:38] It looks like in Karmic, the scripts /etc/acpi/video_brightness{up|down}.sh have been dropped. Where can I customize this behavior now? [21:39] !karmic | ericdb [21:39] ericdb: 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 [21:39] !karmic | ericdb [21:39] cody_: it says /dev/sda ... then /dev/sdb then indented /dev/sdb1 ntfs [21:39] * guntbert smiles at sebsebseb [21:39] Thanks guntbert and sebsebseb. [21:39] How can I use gksudo something to edit files on a server with a graphical application on my computer? [21:39] cody_: I want to install to /dev/sda [21:39] /dev/sdb has windows 2000 on it. does /dev/sda1 have anything? [21:40] guntbert: great minds think alike? altough there's nothing special about doing that [21:40] eitan2: Okay, then make sure /dev/sda is selected (it will only show unallocated) [21:40] Mike_lofeguard: Use sudo instead of gksudo [21:40] cody_: /dev/sda is blank.. no partition table... /dev/sda1 doesn't exist yet [21:41] eitan2: Then click "Create new partition) at the bottom, and a box will pop up. Type in 8192 in the size box, ext3 as the filesystem, check format, and choose "/" as the mount point. Then click ok/done/create. Let me know when you have finished that [21:41] cody_: the options buttons say "new partition table" and "undo" [21:41] Mike_lifeguard: you need to open the connectio to the remote machine with ssh -X ... - (capital X) [21:41] Ronnie, can't he use "gksu gedit /path/to/file" ? [21:41] eitan2: Click new partition table i mean [21:41] Ronnie: Well obviously that'll do for using nano or something on the remote machine, which is not what I asked about. [21:41] Guten Abend =) Ich hab ein Problem mit ampache und coherence... kann mir da jemand helfen? [21:41] !de | nighty__ [21:41] nighty__: In den meisten ubuntu-Kanälen wird nur Englisch gesprochen. Für deutschsprachige Hilfe besuchen Sie bitte #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #edubuntu-de oder #ubuntu-at. Geben Sie einfach /join #ubuntu-de ein! Danke für Ihr Verständnis. [21:41] cody_: question... why ext3 and not ext4? [21:42] guntbert: I thought that required X on the server (which would be unusual) === worm is now known as F00L [21:42] eitan2: Well, truly, you can use either, im using ext4 because im upgrading to karmic, choose whichever you want, ubuntu 9.04 can run on either [21:42] Ronnie: don't use graphical programs with sudo [21:42] eitan2: Ext4 isn't properly stable in 9.04, because of the kernel and such, it will however be in 9.10, and clean installs of Ubuntu will get it by default [21:42] Ronnie, Only thing I can think of, and I'm far from an expert, is to create a remote share, and use gksu gedit on the files. [21:43] eitan2: Also what sebsebseb said :p [21:43] Mike_lifegaurd: If you want to use gedit to edit flile on a local machine you can use ssh -X which enables GUI forwarding, but the Gnome libraries and apps need to be installed on that machine [21:43] Ronnie, otherwise, I think you're limited to terminal text editors. [21:43] Mike_lifeguard: it would require the actual program (for instance gedit), not an X server [21:43] cody_: oh... :( ... how soon till karmic comes out? [21:43] 28th [21:43] genii: 29th [21:43] eitan2: yea, like 12 days i think. You can use the beta (I am upgrading to it from jaunty) [21:44] Or 29th ;) [21:44] cody_: is karmic lts? [21:44] Mike_lifeguard: as Ronnie just said, but don't use graphical programs with sudo [21:44] etotheipi: Karmic won't be LTS, but Lucid the next one is [21:44] !lucid | etotheipi [21:44] etotheipi: Lucid Lynx is the codename for Ubuntu 10.04, due April 2010 - See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l02bhwofEqw for announcement video. [21:44] oh [21:44] eitan2: No, it is not :p [21:45] !lucid | eitan2 [21:45] eitan2: Lucid Lynx is the codename for Ubuntu 10.04, due April 2010 - See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l02bhwofEqw for announcement video. [21:45] !lts [21:45] guntbert, Ronnie: Thanks, I think I'll copy the file so I own it, edit with a graphical application then copy it back [21:45] 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) [21:45] eitan2: Got the 1st partition set up yet? [21:45] cody_: so the first partition I create will be "primary" right? and it will contain the ubuntu main system files, right? that's the one that should be 8 gigs? [21:45] is there a way to view the second monitor(2nd monitor being a Projector) in a window on the main monitor ?. I can not get a good view of the projected image so i need a way to see it on the main screen. [21:45] eitan2: Yes, exactly [21:46] eitan2: Make sure mount point is set as "/" before you click done [21:46] cody_: ok... hold on.. [21:46] Mike_lifeguard: easy enough done - use scp for the copying [21:46] eitan2: Okay, let me know when it finishes the 1st [21:47] cody_: location "beginning" mount point "/" ? [21:47] eitan2: Yes [21:47] cody_: ok... done. [21:47] <{Onyx}> Cool, now that I have GPG working with Evolution I just have to talk my not security aware friends into using encryption/signing. My wife asked me last night why she should and I told her what if I was out of town and she needed the credit card number to buy something online. I'd want to encrypt it if I was going to email it. [21:47] Mike_lifeguard: I did a bit of googling and it appears kate will allow you to do something like sftp://path_to_file, and it will cache the file locally and then push out edits to the server when you save [21:47] eitan2: For the next partition, in the size, type 20480 (for 20GB) and choose (ext3 or ext4, whatever you chose for 1st partition) check format, then choose /home as the mount point [21:48] cody_: question... is 8 gigs the recommended size for any ubuntu system partition in general? [21:48] eitan2: Yes [21:48] eitan2: depends [21:48] eitan2: If you put home on it, then it is the full partition [21:48] eitan2: if you have a big seperate /home that should be ok [21:48] hi [21:48] eitan2: if not and you start filling up home with a lot of stuff, bigish files, you will probably run out of space [21:48] eitan2: Exactly what sebsebseb said [21:48] guntbert, trism: ANY good editor will let you edit over sftp (etc) - the issue is you do so as yourself, not as root, so you cannot edit root's files except with copying or changing permissions [21:48] how can change to txt mode? [21:49] <{Onyx}> cody/eitan2: I've got like 9gb taken up and all I use that partition for is Ubuntu and apps? [21:49] eitan2: Let me know when the seconds (/home) partition is odne [21:49] <{Onyx}> Err that should have been a period. [21:49] cody_: but 8 gigs is more than enough for ubuntu system files... even if I install a lot of programs later on with synaptic... right? [21:49] babak: CTRL-ALT-F1 ? [21:49] {Onyx}: yes, as long as /home is on a seperate partition, although the most of the files go into home [21:49] eitan2: maybe, maybe not [21:49] hello [21:50] babak: CTRL-ALT-F7 to get back to X [21:50] sebsebseb: what do you mean? [21:50] eitan2: Yes, ubuntu system takes up about 6 or 7 GB. If you are likely to install more than 1GB of programs, then add an extra gig or 2 [21:50] and take away an extra gig or 2 from home [21:50] <{Onyx}> eitan2: No ti won't. I'm using over 9gb so far just for file system and apps. [21:50] eitan2: for example on the other computer with only a 15GB partition after quite a lot of games from the repo and such, only 6GB free space [21:50] Mike_lifeguard: good point *shrugs* [21:50] I've noticed that the cpu speed applet can only manage one core at a time [21:50] Mike_lifeguard: from experience I prefer changing the ownership on the remote machine, but in such a case I would simply use a non GUI editor [21:50] shouldn't it be able to manage the speed of all cores? [21:51] sebsebseb: Yes, but many people do not install games on ubuntu, it isnt exactly known for games ;) I install main apps like firefox 3.5 and the like [21:51] as for now I'm using two applets, one for each core but it's kind of annoying [21:51] guntbert: I wouldn't change permissions/ownership on the original though - copy it, do your work, then copy it back [21:51] I wouldn't mind more games. [21:51] Though i should probably have made my system partition 10GB since im upgrading to karmic hehe [21:51] i have 8G for my system partition :p [21:51] cody_: well most of those games are from the repo :) and Linux distros can be good for gaming as well or reasonably good [21:52] cody_: the /home partition should be logical, not primary, right? [21:52] sebsebseb: Yes, but if you try to run a commerical game on it, it doesnt always run smoothylu ;) [21:52] eitan2: I didnt have to choose logical ha. Or primary. But i think so [21:52] eitan2: Before you clicked new partition table, what were all the choices? [21:52] cody_: well we need more good open source games that are as good as a lot of the commerical games, by the sounds of it there's something in development at the moment actsaulley [21:52] Mike_lifeguard: seems easier to just fire up vim/nano/whatever and just edit it like that [21:52] there should have been one more eitan2 [21:53] Hi, after upgrade to 9.10 aptitude wants to remove "binutils-static" because "they are no longer used". Can anybody with a fresh install of 9.10 check if "binutils-static" is installed? [21:53] Mike_lifeguard: of course - I assumed as much :) , but still: is the task so big that you don't want to use nano or joe or vi(m) ? [21:53] sebsebseb: I would definatly hope so, i want a game like civilization for ubuntu ;) a good game though, most of the open source ones are not too good [21:53] cody_: also get a games console or something, stop playing Windows games ideally :) [21:53] amgarchIn9, #ubuntu+1 for karmic [21:53] amgarchIn9: Not a fresh, but a working (more or less) install of karmic: binutils-static is NOT installed [21:53] cody_: in fact now quite a lot of the later games aren't being made for Windows, and this has gone off topic [21:54] <{Onyx}> Would be so pwn if we could get native linux support for games. [21:54] cody_: well the only choice at the bottom was "new partition" . Now the choices are "primary" or "logical", then the size, then "beginning" or "end" for location, then fs type, then mount point [21:54] guntbert: Yes. [21:54] trism: No, it isn't :) [21:54] sebsebseb: Yea, very off topic haha. Most newer games are being made for: Mac, linux, and iwnodwS ^_^ [21:54] cody_: well some are only being made for games consoles now [21:54] hi, i installed ubuntu 8.04 on my computer(some time ago) parallel to windows and after 2 times booting or so it wouldnt load the bootmanager any more and boot windows directly [21:55] eitan2: Okay, good. Logical is the correct choice, size 20480 for 20GB, and beginning, fs should be same as first partition, and finally ,mount point should be: "/home" [21:55] cody_: location beginning or end? [21:55] sebsebseb: Yes, specially for PS3 ;) I love the PS3 (Too off topic now, we should get back on topic ;) [21:55] !love > cody_ [21:55] cody_, please see my private message [21:55] eitan2: End (It has to be after the / partition) [21:55] sebsebseb: I dont know how to go to private message in irssi ;:P [21:56] :P* [21:56] so my problem is, that i would like to access the files in my ubuntu home folder, but i cant because i m not the owner [21:56] we love you [21:56] <{Onyx}> Hey cody_? You talking about major games starting to be coded with native linux support? [21:56] WE love ubuntu [21:56] What is the best way to determine if there is a memory leak in my system? Sometimes my applications just close unexpectly or become slow [21:56] cody_: alt+ whatever number window the message is on [21:56] {Onyx}: Yes, newer ones. Games already made are not being re-written for ubuntu, likely at least [21:56] trism: Thanks [21:56] in aptitude I clicked "+" and now I think I know beter, but it still wants to upgrade a package even if I restart aptitude? How do I reset it? [21:57] sebsebseb: HAHAHA, that was interesting :P But funny :3 [21:57] hi [21:57] !love > sebsebseb [21:57] cody_: sorry do you know how to restao the normal windowed menus (File, Edit, etc.) after i've had Global-menu installed and the removed, currently my windows have no menus ant its really annoying becuse i cant change anything. [21:57] sebsebseb, please see my private message [21:57] restore* [21:57] how to launch screen with 4 shells opened [21:57] <{Onyx}> cody_: Sweet, when I build my new system I was going to actually dish out money for Windows 7 just to be able to get into some gaming. [21:57] This idea that only the commercial games are the best games, is nonsense, there are some rather good open source games indeed out there. [21:57] Could someone help me out with some networking issues? [21:57] Ronnie: Sorry, i never used global menu cause it never worked, so i dont know :( [21:57] This is sort of my last resort before I go crazy [21:57] !details | realize [21:57] realize: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [21:58] cody_: You didn't need to pm it back to me! [21:58] cody_ ok thanks, [21:58] {Onyx}: I would still dish money for win7, it is equal if not better then linux ;) [21:58] sebsebseb: HAHHA, soz :p [21:58] Ronnie: Your welcome [21:58] Anyone else know? >.< I really need to send an email but i need to change thesetitngs on evolution [21:58] <{Onyx}> cody_: Will only cost me 20 bucks. I work tech support so a bunch of my buddies have subscriptions to tech net and have umpteen licences :) [21:58] hi [21:59] hi [21:59] cody_: see my comment above before that also, if you missed it [21:59] {Onyx}: you gotta get me one :p :) :3 [21:59] meatbun: if you have screen-profiles installed, the windows launched on startup are stored in ~/.screen-profiles/windows [21:59] #ubuntu-.it [21:59] °ubuntu-it [21:59] #ubuntu-it [21:59] <{Onyx}> cody_: Need to get two for myself as is. One to dual boot/vm and one for the box I'm going to build my wife. [21:59] trism, isn't there a simpler way like screen -option 4 windows [22:00] cody_: question... when I had created the primary partition for / .... I asked for 8000 mb... when it created it... it turned that into 8003.... why is that? [22:00] sebsebseb: I just saw it, Yea, some games are pretty good i will admit :p [22:00] sebsebseb: Open sourcE* [22:00] <{Onyx}> cody_: I work for HP support and we're already getting training on some of the features. Its going to rock so much more than Vista. [22:00] eitan2: It sometimes does that, ubuntu doesnt like even numbers i guess :p === miguel is now known as Guest82888 [22:00] {Onyx} Ideally you should not play Windows games at all, unless they are made for Linux as well. This is difficult for many people though, and so how about a WII or something and play the games on that. [22:00] {Onyx}: It is, i know some friends who have the beta, and says it kicks vista's *** :p They had vista for like 2 years, got win7 beta, never looked back haha [22:01] What is the best way to determine if there is a memory leak in my system? Sometimes my applications just close unexpectly or become slow [22:01] sebsebseb: How about a PS3? :P :D [22:01] <{Onyx}> sebseb: I don't game as is :) [22:01] cody_: yep or that [22:01] meatbun: well it isn't that complicated, you just add lines to the file like "screen 0 bash" "screen 1 bash", etc [22:01] {Onyx}: I dont often either, i played some JAK 2 though today ;) haha [22:01] sebsebseb: I love PS3 :3 hehe [22:01] is it possible to have different cpu frequencies depending on battery or AC usage? [22:01] cody_: Xbox 360 though uh no, for obvious reasons :D [22:01] it's quite simple to do in KDE [22:01] sebsebseb: Obviosuly, xbox360 is no fun ;) [22:02] My 360 crashes allot :c [22:02] meatbun: or whatever command you want to start for your default set of windows [22:02] cody_: ok done... /dev/sda1 is ext3 mounted at / and 8003mb, /dev/sda5 is ext3 mounted at /home and 20003mb ... I have 2006 mb left as free space [22:02] cody_: I meant Microsoft don't need more of our support [22:02] Finally! the karmic upgrade is install ing pakacges [22:02] cody_: as in money [22:02] trism, ok. just that on some machines, i don't install plugins and apps [22:02] How Come when I check for open ports on the wan it says it doesn't work? [22:02] <{Onyx}> I can't afford a PS3/WII/Xbox360. I'm already needing to build me a new box, one for my wife or a notebook and a server. [22:02] cody_: and vender lock in for that matter [22:02] !ot [22:02] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [22:02] trism, is this in .screenrc? or profile thing is different [22:02] eitan2: New partition, logical, end, 2006 MB, format, set as linux-swap filesystem, and no mount point [22:03] sebsebseb: Yea, they dont ;) [22:03] {Onyx} Fetch "Plants Vs Zombies" Its an awesome game and works perfectly under wine. Its one of those games you can play for days nad days. [22:03] meatbun: screen-profiles is another package in ubuntu that I think is installed with screen by default [22:03] nad/and [22:03] The phantom virtual hostname turned out to be in my /etc/hosts file. I still wasn't able to get the new hostname to resolve until I put it into /etc/hosts. [22:03] WanHouse: Never even heard of that ;) Cant do ANTHINg until karmic update finishes hehe [22:03] hi, i installed ubuntu 8.04 on my computer(some time ago) parallel to windows and after 2 times booting or so, my computer wouldnt load the bootmanager any more and boot with windows directly. so my problem is, that i would like to access the files in my ubuntu home folder, but i cant because i m not the owner [22:04] meatbun: although if you just want more shells quickly, f2 is configured by default in ubuntu to launch a new shell, so you could just press f2 three more times after starting screen [22:04] nodgedodge: Access from windows? [22:04] im using the 9.04 ubuntu demo cd right now btw [22:04] cody_: You wont regret playing it. I guarrantie it. [22:04] meatbun: the path for the default windows is ~/.screen-profiles/windows though [22:04] WanHouse: okay :) I will run it soon as karmic update finishes haha [22:04] WanHouse: Is it free as in price? or even better as in freedom with the code available to the general public? [22:04] trism, ok [22:04] how do i list the vga modes that are available to me at boot time? [22:04] which is 1 hour 36 minutes roughly T_t [22:04] thx [22:05] preferably without rebooting and scanning them right after grub :D [22:05] cody_: the choices are ext3 or "swap area" ... so not ext3, but "swap area" right? and why end and not beginning again? what would happen if I chose beginning? [22:05] @cody: im using the ubuntu 9.04 cd demo right now [22:05] nodgedodge: that's not a demo, it's the Live CD, but also the install CD [22:05] cody_: what do end and beginning mean? [22:05] eitan2: yes, swap area. And truly it wouldnt matter, swap it either place, it loads it fine either way. [22:05] sebsebseb: Its a good game. [22:05] eitan2: Beginning and end mean: Beginning goes in FRONT of all the partitions, end goes AFTER all the partitions [22:05] WanHouse: that didn't answer my questiosn [22:06] @sebsebseb: yes youre right [22:06] sebsebseb: I know. [22:06] WanHouse: Free as in price, or free as in anyone can edit the code and redistribute it? :p [22:06] cody_: ok .. hold on... [22:06] eitan2: Okay [22:06] cody_: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=987341 :3 foudn this am gonna try it. [22:06] cody_: plus if it's only made for Windows at the moment, and it's opensource/freesoftware it could be ported to Linux natively I expect :) [22:07] cody_: Its a fun game. Take it... or leave it :) [22:07] WanHouse: Lol okay fine :p [22:07] :) [22:07] Ronnie: Awesome, i hope it works :) [22:07] hi all, how can i install pdf printer? [22:07] how to change the Ubuntu logo in the Application panel? [22:07] sebsebseb: Me too ;) I wish some programs that were free in price were free in source code [22:08] Twim4: sudo apt-get install cups-pdf [22:08] <{Onyx}> I really wish Evolution had a setting to always try to send encrypted and if unable to locate a key send unencrypted. [22:08] cody_: yeah a lot of Windows games stop being developed, but never become open source [22:08] cody_; did it, nothing happens [22:08] sebsebseb: Yea, i know :( [22:08] Twim4: What does it do? Does it say already installed? [22:08] so id even be happy if someone could justpoint out a link with file ownership under ubuntu [22:08] I am looking for a way to allow my users to skip the black list I have setup. I am using reject_rbl_client but I ahve some users that want to get all the mail and spam. Where can I go to setup a by user list to skip the checking of the rbl? [22:09] sebsebseb: DigDug was fun [22:09] Hey, I get a dsl router attached to a wireless router attached to a server I would like to make accessible through the internet but for some reason when I go to this website http://www.canyouseeme.org/ and test port 80 and 22 it says the the connection timed out even though I have no firewalls running on either router or the server. It did work for me like a half an hour ago but I reset the dsl router and now NOTHING WORKS! [22:09] WanHouse: I don't know about that game [22:09] sebsebseb: Maniac Mansion rules [22:09] nodgedodge: what about file ownership [22:09] WanHouse: or that one, I am not a gamer [22:09] sebsebseb and WanHouse: BEST GAME OF ALL TIME: Civilization :D [22:09] cody_: ok sda6 is swap... but it is not letting me check the "format" option [22:09] sebsebseb: Tell me about the games you played when youre younger ? [22:10] cody_: Lol, ehm... eeh... Doh! :) [22:10] eitan2: May be the file system, that is fine then. I didnt set up swap, ubuntu did it cause it was already set up for some reason. Just click forward or continue [22:10] Help? [22:10] realize: you have to setup port forwarding [22:10] WanHouse: XD I love that game, and it runs under DOSBox ;) [22:10] cody_; yes it was already installed, but when i go to system -> adminisr -> printing and want to create one pdf printer the button "forward" is grey [22:10] yeah, I did [22:10] WanHouse: doesn't matter it's off topic now, however if you know of any games that are good and work natively in Linux, or in Wine, and that are free, feel free to pm me the names [22:10] !vga [22:10] Sorry, I don't know anything about vga [22:10] WanHouse: free as in price that was [22:10] realize: many dsl bridges are single port switches [22:10] !vga-modes [22:10] Sorry, I don't know anything about vga-modes [22:11] Twim4: Then do this: System 00> Administration --> Printer, make sure the PDF printer is enabled (right click it, click enabled if it was not) [22:11] realize: set up port forwarding on the dsl mdoem too? [22:11] Billiard: my problem was that: i installed ubuntu 8.04 on my computer(some time ago) parallel to windows and after 2 times booting or so, my computer wouldnt load the bootmanager any more and boot with windows directly. so my problem is, that i would like to access the files in my ubuntu home folder, but i cant because i m not the owner(im using the ubuntu 9.04 live cd right now) [22:11] I set it the dsl router to forward to the wireless routers ip and then the wireless router would forward to the servers ip [22:11] I'm really confuzed since I got it working at one point [22:11] cody_: same to you, what I said to WanHouse [22:12] cody_; i havent any printers there, have to create it, but i cant [22:12] How do I load a module in apache2? I have mod_wsgi.so installed but I cant figure out how to load it in apache2? [22:12] hi, got a weird problem. i can't use alt-tab, super-tab and mouseclick [22:12] came0 create a link in mods-enabled linking to the file in mods-available [22:12] sebsebseb: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Linux_games / http://icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php / http://www.linuxgames.com [22:12] Snicksie, do you by chance have compiz running with the wallpaper plugin? [22:13] Snicksie: compiz problems? [22:13] came0: - nano /etc/apache2/httpd.conf (i i r c ) [22:13] WanHouse: ok thanks :) [22:13] Billard: its not in mods-available [22:13] dios_mio and coz_ i didn't change anything in my computer [22:13] nodgedodge: you should be able to use sudo in the live cd i think [22:13] Snicksie, mm when did this start happening? [22:13] Billard: and when I install it its a .so file.. not ,load or .conff [22:13] * realize starts pulling out lumps of hair! [22:13] coz_, few minutes ago, just stopped one useless process [22:14] Snicksie, did it happen after restarting x? [22:14] Games: http://games.linux.sk/index.php?group=&sort=&count=5&pos=2 [22:14] cody_; oke, i reinstalled that, but on the test it sais that its faild [22:14] Hit next at the next sign [22:14] 1st time installing ubuntu 9.04 and have a prob. [22:14] Snicksie, what was the process you stopped? [22:14] to be exactly, it was whatpulse; coz_ no, i just woke up from sleep, stopped the process whatpulse, thereafter it didn't react anymore, suppose that's the problem [22:14] cody_: what is the difference between a primary partition and a logical partition? [22:14] realize: your server and router have static ip's or are setup to receive the same ip? [22:15] sebsebseb: Its important to also have fun. [22:15] Billiard: ok, thanks ill try that [22:15] Have LiveCD and I get to the install screen then [22:15] eitan you can only have 4 primary patitions, windows can only boot from a primary [22:15] coz_, isn't there anyway to start a terminal without clicking or using alt-tab? [22:15] select install and nothing happens. [22:15] well I've got a subnet ending in 192.168.0.X [22:15] Anyone know how to install a previous kernel image onto ubuntu? [22:15] Snicksie, ok I want you to restart x ther proper way dont do anything till you read this...first ctrl+alt+F1 then log in then sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart === geekbuntu__ is now known as geekbuntu_ [22:15] I need to test if it is the kernel causing a bug [22:16] but I forward the ports with dsl router to ip 192.168.1.47 [22:16] quentusrex, when you log in does grub give you the options of another kernel? [22:16] quentusrex: sudo apt-get install linux-image-xxxxx [22:16] coz_, don't think that will be the problem, i wanna try to kill whatpulse first, because i don't wanna loose my programs (didn't save everything) [22:16] cd light is on (CD is spinning). The screen is still on the install screen. [22:16] Snicksie, oh ok [22:16] dsl router > wifi router 192.168.1.47 > 192.168.0.10 [22:17] Snicksie, what is this whatpulse thing? === radek is now known as Guest84348 [22:18] coz_, it counts keystrokes and mousestrokes, so i suppose that's the problem. when i'd killed the process, it wouldn't be a problem i suppose, i suppos two ways to clear problem will be unstop whatpulse or taskkill it [22:18] Snicksie, or uninstall it [22:18] oh thats weird I just tried to access the the the defualt "it works" page and it didn't work [22:18] coz_, i can't click, so can't get to terminal, can't taskkill it and so on [22:19] Snicksie, so you cant save anything either? [22:19] coz_, no, cause i can't use alt-tab or click or sth like that [22:19] Snicksie, I dont see another alterntive then but to restart x [22:19] hi all [22:20] Hey all [22:20] weird problem however coz_, won't it be possible by the way to kill it trough ctrl-alt-f1? [22:20] hi [22:20] how i can deactivate my capslock bytton? :) [22:20] hi everyone!

[22:30] Hello! Is it possible to disable "ls" in /home? [22:30] right, which one to reinstall... [22:30] KristianDK: why? [22:30] KristianDK: for other users? [22:31] KristianDK: chmod 700 $HOME [22:31] Billiard, yes- for normal users :) [22:31] KristianDK: and what about dir? [22:31] pepperjack, then the users cant access their folders, right? :S [22:31] KristianDK: or vi /home/ tab tab? [22:31] btw: "alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory" [22:31] KristianDK: no $HOME will be like /home/KristianDK. I wasnt screwing with you..this time [22:32] KristianDK: basically makes it readable only for the owner [22:32] pepperjack, nice :) but will it prevent showing the other users in /home/ ? [22:32] iceroot: "sudo dpkg-reconfigure alsa-base" didn't do a whole lot, should I reboot again? [22:33] KristianDK: cat /etc/passwd will show you other users [22:33] KristianDK: no. try this 1) touch testfile 2) ls -l 3) chmod 700 testfile 4) ls -l [22:33] KristianDK: you can only force them only to use ther own home with chroot [22:33] KristianDK: note on the second ls that you do not have r-- on the left but for the very left column (owner) [22:33] KristianDK: or to see other users [22:33] but i wanna downloa DDO (dungeon and dragons) and install it [22:33] Sander1: then download it [22:34] :'( [22:34] Sander1, is this a commercial game or a free one [22:34] pepperjack, i'll just play around with it [22:34] iceroot, why so negative? ;) [22:34] http://www.ddo.com/ddosupport/download-ddo [22:34] If anyone can help: for reasons unknown, gnome stopped working after reboot. I get only a black screen and cannot ctl-alt-F1 into terminal. Cannot get it to work with safe graphics mode. I have nvidia cards, but changed to "nv" driver in xorg.conf with no success. Tried to dpkg-reconfigure xserver with no success. Tried to re-install ubuntu desktop (no dice). Have RTFMd and STFWd without joy. Any suggestions? Thanks in advanc [22:34] a free one [22:34] i guess [22:34] KristianDK: because you cant deny access to other homes or to see other users :) [22:35] KristianDK: without chroot [22:35] I just need to wipe the slate clean and start again - reinstall seems to do nothing whatsoever [22:35] i cant download it because i dont know how with ububtu [22:35] maybe I should uninstall and then reinstall manually [22:35] hi all [22:35] coz_, got it fixed :D killed it by kill -cont processid which i found with ps -u name [22:35] :P [22:35] Sander1: use firefox like in windows [22:35] how...? [22:35] Snicksie, very cool :) [22:35] :) [22:35] Sander1: typing the url into firefox? [22:36] Sander1, click the first link, then submit the necessary registration information [22:36] iceroot, but i guess if i let my users run in chroot, they will have root priveleges, right? [22:36] KristianDK: no [22:36] :( [22:36] KristianDK: chroot = changedroot not root-access [22:37] Hi, I'm having issues with preseeding the console-setup package on Hardy Heron: I did a "debconf-get-selections >preseed.txt" on my source system, then a "debconf-set-selections !chroot [22:37] chroot is used to make programs believe that the directory they are running in is really the root directory. It can be used to stop programs accessing files outside of that directory, or for compiling 32bit applications in a 64bit environment (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot) [22:37] guys, I really need help with this - I can't remove alsa without removing Ubuntu Desktop which sounds like a reasonably drastic thing to be doing [22:37] i have done the registration [22:37] nice :) is it possible to use this chroot so that the users get it, when they connect via SSH? [22:37] just because I have no sound [22:38] KristianDK: but just life with it that others can use ls on /home [22:38] KristianDK: yes [22:38] wilbefast, ubuntu-desktop package is just a metapackage, it can be safely removed [22:38] but i downlad it and he saves it in download [22:38] skype downloaded just in their website? [22:38] and then ? [22:38] what do i need to do then :P [22:38] okay then... [22:38] Sander1: click the exe [22:38] ? [22:39] iceroot, do you know something like a tutorial for setting this up? [22:39] Sander1: everything like in windows [22:39] Sander1, configure wine then run it [22:39] KristianDK: jailproject is a good projekt for that. have a look at google for it, dont have any links [22:39] Sander1: if you read the entry for ddo in the wine appdb, there is more stuff you need to do to properly run and play the game on linux [22:39] Hello everyone. I am planning to buy a Toshiba netbook computer. Is it compatible with Ubuntu?

[23:00] zaoul, 6 [23:00] ok, well as for ubuntu support, to make my external monitor work, I do have to manually change virtual display resolution in xorg.conf, which is annoying, since If I want to pivot, I have to significantly rise it and then video card gets somehow overcharged with work [23:00] chicks there are hot but belrus has better pussy [23:01] pistyman, that is not appropriate for here.

[23:05] pistyman, sure you can; sudo apt-get install neverball [23:05] ok, so can anyone explain me how virtual resolution is used by the machine? [23:05] violet523: openssh? [23:05] puff: like a secure telnet clint? [23:05] WOOO! [23:05] violet523: Yeah, openssh is a good open ssh client :-) [23:06] violet523: I'm not sure what you're asking. [23:06] cause it seems like the machine is emulating whole virtual resulotion at once and then chopping some parts into different screens [23:06] violet523: Open a gnome terminal window, type "ssh username@hostname" and hit enter. [23:06] and if you disable monitor, then it is not disabled virtually [23:06] or at least does not affect performance [23:06] puff: i thought that was its name bu it doesn't seemed to be installed on this box... ah thats must be it [23:07] hvgotcodes: what is your base for slow net? www? [23:07] preecher ,no command to just update pidgin, you will prob have to install the latest source from here http://www.pidgin.im/ [23:07] steven_: I sympathize; probably part of why you're not getting any answers is that those sorts of problems are a pain to sort out.

[23:07] zaoul, firefox, ping, chromium [23:07] pistyman, last warning [23:07] i said no offence [23:07] How do I reverse the update? [23:07] pistyman: ever heard of package management? [23:07] zaoul, apt-get was geting 25 bytes a second [23:07] pistyman: package management is the determining factor [23:07] no i havnt heard of it [23:07] pistyman: apt-get?

Just a thought. [23:31] ive been dinking around with bacula for aweek now..and i just cant seem to find a decent front end app for building backups. [23:31] which one? [23:31] harjot_: Check /var, /var/tmp, /var/log first. [23:31] erUSUL: i work with this line in the fstab: [23:31] curlftpfs#v115191:oetzi@ug-team.de /media/ftp_markus fuse rw,allow_other,noauto,user 0 0 [23:31] harjot_: I would look at all. [23:31] ok [23:31] grendal_prime: Really depends on your needs. BackupPC is fine, maybe rdiff-backup is enough ... [23:31] ok [23:31] >_> [23:32] posting login infor not best idea? [23:32] needs to have a decent scheduling interface and job manager interface. [23:32] these ones for bacula suck and straight up break stuff. [23:33] LaireTM: i do not use it. so i dunno === al3k is now known as al3k|out [23:33] which file would aid me [there are soooooo many] [23:33] grendal_prime: I heard something about rsync (spelling?) for backup. [23:33] Should my Mini 10v be able to playback 480p videos on Hulu because when I try its very stuttery and unwatchable. [23:33] grendal_prime: Then have a look at BackupPC [23:33] how to make the ubuntu terminal every time i start it to be logged in as root user? [23:33] !root | theoo [23:33] hello there, quick question..................... [23:33] theoo: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [23:34] so basically i installed wine, i see it in the bin but it isnt on my app menu how it was before because the old one i removed with the 'main menu' program. now i reinstalled it and cant get it back on my menu [23:34] nevermind [23:34] ignore me [23:34] wow, is tat the main difference between ubuntu and debian? [23:34] i added it back [23:34] the sudo part [23:34] The_Doctor: ya i currently use rsync for alot of things..i need soemthing more centralized. [23:34] Where can i find _ssl for python? [23:34] <_LaurE_> Hi?? [23:34] violet523: No, you can have sudo on Debian too ;-) [23:34] i was hoping for something that used rsync for the transport protocol [23:35] i began a partition resize (being performed on boot) and looked like iot was going to take all day, so foolishly aborted. Now all my files wont work and are basically corrupt. Is there any way to rescue these files or have they had it? [23:35] i hope someone knows. [23:35] its very ....well...fast as hell [23:35] vlt: but its not sudoish out of box [23:35] erUSUL, i know what sudo is for :) but when i start the terminal i want sudo to be automatically typed [23:35] <_LaurE_> Hola? [23:35] so i can add wine back to my list but now the subfolders are missing.. grrl [23:35] hola! [23:35] grendal_prime: My backup is copy and paste to my external drive. [23:35] !es | _LaurE_ [23:35] _LaurE_: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [23:35] anyone? [23:36] grendal_prime: BackupPC can be configured to use rsync (I think) [23:36] theoo: gnome-terminal -e "sudo -i" ?? [23:36] hi [23:36] i tried to change the resolution wth sceen manager on my amilo pi 1505 and now i have no more the old resolution in the possible selection(1270/..)(a 16:10), it was great... Any tips? [23:36] i tried to change the resolution wth sceen manager on my amilo pi 1505 and now i have no more the old resolution in the possible selections(1270/..)(a 16:10), it was great...

[23:39] Hi, I have sound issues whenever I have a media player open, as well as the brower(firefox), seems either one or the other gets volume, but not both. Is there a way around this? [23:39] <_LaurE_> ErUSUL i know these but i want practise my bad english ^^ [23:39] Sonja: try the moonlight plugin based on mono (search for its homepage) [23:40] _LaurE_: ok, no problem. Wellcome :) [23:40] erUSUL does it work well? or is it still buggy? [23:40] datz: with pulse audio, you should be able set voume for each app separately. [23:40] Sonja: i did not test it extensibily but is spected to not be 100% compatible with the MS one [23:41] <_LaurE_> ErUSUL ok ;) thanks but you are spanihs? [23:41] The_Doctor, ok..I'll see, but right now, say, volume for brower only works after closing both brower, and media player, then opening one. [23:41] Which packages are needed to install for using Dial-Up Internet Connection with Ubuntu [23:41] ? [23:41] datz: That is something I read. I would have to do a google search to find out more.

[23:44] What's the terminal command for changing a user password? [23:44] The_Doctor, looks like it might be a problem with theAdobe flash player [23:44] night1ne: `passwd` [23:44] datz: Good luck. [23:44] The_Doctor, I need to reload it, would you happen to know the best way about doing that? [23:45] this is hard to explain. before when i had wine installed it had subfolders on the gui like "uninstall wine" and "Browse Programs" and "Accessories". Now it just says "Wine" on my app list but thats it. and when I click it nothing happens [23:45] so passwd...? [23:45] night1ne: yes [23:45] Maybe uninstall then reinstall wine, mavity? [23:45] Okay, thanks. [23:45] datz: Do you use command line or package manager. Go there, uninstall and then reinstall. [23:45] What about for different user accounts? [23:45] ok, sounds like a plan, thanks [23:45] night1ne: just "passwd" if its for your password. if you are suing sudo to change someone elses pass you type "sudo passwd loginname" [23:45] <_LaurE_> ErUSUL lol my english is very bad, my teacher speak very well and he is angry with me because i don't undersyand his [23:45] night1ne: `passwd username` [23:46] night1ne: read `man passwd` [23:46] So, passwd croak guest1 [23:46] Ah, okay.

[23:49] erUSUL: well im wondering if its a good idea whether to replace ubuntu's default of Pidgin with Empathy, and am getting some background info [23:50] Please do not fire a factoid at my next statement. [23:50] Has anyone ever executed a girl? [23:50] Ah, okay. [23:50] dragon, that is not appropriate here please desist now [23:50] The_Doctor, yes but what should i do there?

I have 9.04 running on a hp dv-4 1120us. The problem is that my sound plays but loops into broken static. Even on startup the ubuntu drums play repeatedly for about a minute at the login screen. The rest of my sounds are indecipherable slush. I have tried upgrading to the ASLA but it wont unpack or compile the files. This is a clean install to an unpartitione [23:52] d HD (previously Vista 64) I have tried everything I know to do and have gotten nowhere for two strait days. [23:53] The_Doctor, what field is for the microphone? [23:53] The_Doctor yea looks like youtube is fine, but is the Hulu problem just a Linux Flash thing? [23:53] The_Doctor, should i reset something or go to skype right after? [23:53] mgv2: I don't have it on this machine so I can't check it out. [23:54] Is there any way to allow root login only by SSH keys but not by passwords? [23:54] Ziber, yes [23:54] mgv2: I think it remembers the last setting. [23:54] How?
