[00:00] acicula, I PM'd you some text from a readme file because I didn't want to spam the chat, I hope that's ok. (I could use pastebin if you prefer) [00:00] What about aspect ratio? 4:3? [00:00] chobbs: http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/pastebinit [00:00] fuck ubuntu.. [00:01] funkyHat: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/283079 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/280921 [00:01] brianherman, That's what I was after - thanks! [00:01] zoidfarb: pastebin is probably better [00:01] zoidfarb: maybe someone else knows the answer, i saw it, but dont know really [00:02] * chobbs loves 'sudo !!' [00:02] acicula, thanks, I appreciate it. [00:02] doesn't look like rtorrent was incluced in the updates: http://pastebin.com/m7dc1327d [00:02] LjL: I know it's possible to do it, I remember setting the volume step, I just can't find the option [00:02] how do i map the page-forward and page-back buttons on my keyboard? How do i find out what those keys actually are? [00:02] I've searched gconf a couple of times [00:03] funkyHat, the first bug report *mentions* the relevant gconf option [00:03] Do I want it to Create an ISO or BIN/CUE image, create disc structure, or Only convert film files to compliant MPE files?' [00:03] LjL: oh! [00:03] I need to talk to someone that understands grub2. I suspect there's something wrong with my grunb.cfg file [00:03] funkyHat: it also says it doesn't work anymore, though. [00:03] acicula: would I be better off in the forum? [00:04] Italian_Plumber1, you could see if some other repositories might have a newer version. Perhaps Mediubuntu? You can also compile a newer version from source, but that's less convenient. [00:04] LjL: great, that worked ⡈) [00:04] I am just rubbish at searching, apparently [00:04] chuckmurphy1: probably, or try google, afaik its a bogstandard chip with the same issue of installing it [00:04] funkyHat: really ;( [00:05] more specifically where should the "set root = (hd0,x) point to?? [00:05] Italian_Plumber1, the thing is that 8.04 is pretty old at this point, and they're mostly going to do security and bug-fix updates, not feature-add updates. [00:05] ok. thanks anyway [00:05] !tls [00:05] Geoffry: look at: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Splash%20Images%20&%20Theming [00:05] !lts | Italian_Plumber1 [00:05] Italian_Plumber1: 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) [00:05] so 8.04 is not "old [00:06] zoidfarb: can you point me to information on how to use other repositories? I'm not sure what I'm looking for. ... and your'e saying that they're likely only doing security updates on hardy even though it's LTS? [00:06] but it will not receive major package updates beyong security fixes, its ment to be stable, not up to date [00:06] my hard drice has two partitions only: sda1 and sda2=swap. Do that reads (hd0,0) and (hd0,1) or instead (hd0,1) and (hd0,2)?? [00:07] Italian_Plumber1, that's exactly what they mean by LTS. It will have long-term support to be stable and secure, but not have the newest, fanciest features. [00:07] oic [00:07] Italian_Plumber1, let me see if I can find you some other repos to check. === cpg|brb is now known as cpg [00:07] and to use those I just put them in my /etc/apt/sources.list file and update? [00:07] any guesses? please === starcraft is now known as starcraftman [00:08] maco: Did you look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbiquityEncryptedFilesystems ? Seems like LUKS + LVM is possible from the standard installation CD with a little massaging. [00:08] Or am I misinterpreting something? [00:08] why might my window decorations break upon login? I'm on Karmic, 64bit, latest kernel, nvidia drivers on a nvidia 8600mgt card. This just started happening, I haven't changed anything. I have to go to System -> Appearance -> and re-check the second box to get window decorations back, I'd rather not use fusion-icon as a bandaid to this problem [00:08] Italian_Plumber1, yeah. Although maybe check on their website first to see if they have what you need, because there's no point in adding tons of extra repos if it's not going to have what you want. What version of rTorrent did you want? [00:09] http://linuxappfinder.com/package/rtorrent [00:09] CountDown: you're right. criminey thats complicated. i said the desktop cd didnt support it since it didnt have that stuff installed [00:09] . [00:09] I've already talked to the folks in the rtorrent channel and they say that this feature is available in verion 086 [00:09] maco: Cool, because I'm having trouble understanding how to do it from the alternate without horking my /home dir. :) [00:10] how do I resize my partition by half? [00:10] lol [00:10] CountDown: alternate should have an option to keep /home instead of formatting it... [00:10] I'm using the Live CD and I don't know how to read the space [00:10] you guys should be worried about kernel updates.. really.. [00:10] maco: Hm, I didn't see that, but I may not have looked everywhere. [00:11] I'm trying to use half the partition for NTFS and the other for ext3 [00:11] Hmm.. I need to split a file into parts. Any good program to do that? [00:11] maco: I couldn't really figure out how to get the alternate installer to recognize the root, home, and swap on the encrypted disk. [00:11] Slix, spit [00:11] 7zip! [00:11] Slix, split [00:11] OoO? [00:12] google. [00:12] sync3times: is Slix a bog? [00:12] *bot? [00:12] Italian_Plumber1, I'm not having much luck on a repo, but I found this, which should work for you: http://www.howtoforge.com/compile-rtorrent-from-svn-ubuntu-8.04-hardy-heron [00:12] srry [00:12] sync3times: nevermind [00:12] Slix: sorry [00:12] What? [00:12] A bot came into #ubuntu to ask a question? [00:12] Slix: you responded so quick to sync3times i thought you were a bot :P [00:13] Someone just failed the Turing test. [00:13] I didn't respond to him. xD [00:13] Slix, why do you need to split it up, to span media boundries? [00:13] Yep. My flash drive is only 2.1gb [00:13] The file is 8gb [00:14] Slix, the split command will break up a file into smaller chunks that can be glued back together with the cat command [00:14] This file is going onto windows. [00:14] thanks, zoid... I'll try that. [00:14] Italian_Plumber1, you don't have to get the source from SVN, though. You can download a .tar.gz of the 0.8.6 release [00:14] arand i read through that but i'm not very sure how to do it. i tried it but i didn't understand the instructions [00:14] oh I can use SVN. I love SVN. [00:15] Italian_Plumber1, I can't tell if that's sarcasm or not, but good luck, in any case [00:15] Gah [00:15] 7zip isn't appearing. [00:15] Slix, same machine, or different machine. You can mount your windows onto your linux [00:15] Diff machine [00:15] no certainly not sarcasm. I use svn to manage my music collection. Use it extensively at work. [00:15] slix, networked? [00:16] Italian_Plumber1: rsync not practical? [00:16] how do I resize my partition [00:16] I want to have two partition [00:16] LinuX2half, for what? [00:16] LinuX2half: you can use gparted [00:16] svn is one of those extermely well thought out software projects that seems to be managed perfectly. [00:16] I am using gparted [00:16] Where is ExampleApplication.h ?? [00:16] Valinux: for partitioning your harddisk [00:16] On linux. [00:16] question, do you need to make a backup of the mbr record when you're dd-ing a drive ? [00:16] Gah [00:16] But whenever I create another partition it gave me an error [00:17] *and which you want to restore later [00:17] I like being able to track past changes and delete music from the HEAD revision without actually using it. [00:17] Where does 7zip show up after installation? [00:17] Italian_Plumber1: I agree, though I'm thinking of switching over to git, or at least trying it out. Have you tried it? [00:17] LinuX2half: did you run gparted as root? [00:17] using it = losing it [00:17] LinuX2half: if you're currently running from that partition, you will need to use a liveCD [00:17] Slix, your joking right? [00:17] solifugus_: locate can help you find files, but im guessing it doesnt exist as its not provided by ubuntu, read the tutorial/book you are reading on where to find it? [00:17] LinuX2half: and partition from there. [00:17] I'm am using the Live CD right now [00:17] try gksu gparted [00:17] I'm rushing and panicking. :P [00:17] acicula, locate cannot help because I just installed ogre [00:17] git ..... is that version control? [00:17] solifugus_: updatedb [00:18] Italian_Plumber1 yes [00:18] hi i'm back [00:18] luks_: then? [00:18] Italian_Plumber1: Yes. It's distributed version control. [00:18] or dpkg-query -L i think will show you what files were installed where [00:18] Italian_Plumber1 see: http://git-scm.com/ [00:18] Slix: the binary is in /usr/bin, you can use it from the command line, or use file-roller [00:18] !mint [00:18] 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), BackTrack (support in #remote-exploit) === _Dasda is now known as Dasda [00:18] Thijs`: When you dd a drive you also dd the mbr (as I said earlier) [00:18] So if I want to create an NTFS partition what should I do first? [00:19] !multisupport [00:19] I need to resized my partition to half [00:19] Slix, python -c "import SimpleHTTPServer;SimpleHTTPServer.test()" will create a simple webserver on your linux machine, you could browse and grab the file onto windows [00:19] what makes git better than svn? [00:19] Format the allocate space to NTFS correct? [00:19] !mintsupport [00:19] Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu, please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [00:19] Italian_Plumber1: different approach, speed, best read a comparison [00:19] That sounds like a pretty odd solution. [00:19] LinuX2half: resize your current partition, and then create an NTFS partition on the blank space. [00:19] i just want to know how to edit my usplash theme, can someone please help me? [00:19] Italian_Plumber1: I'm not sure if it is better. I have a lot of svn experience, only a little git experience. However, git is distributed, svn is not. === NuclearFish is now known as NuclearFish-1 [00:20] !usplash [00:20] 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 [00:20] Gah. I thought 7zip would have a gui. === NuclearFish-1 is now known as NuclearFish0 [00:20] h00k: okay so I drag the blue box to half and then the gray area will be the NTFS partition right? [00:20] LinuX2half: Resize whatever is on that partition now. [00:20] Slix: why would you need one [00:20] Slix: sure, try file-roller! [00:20] LinuX2half: Then resize the partition itself [00:21] LinuX2half: the gray box will probably be unused space, create a new partition and make it NTFS [00:21] i tried that dr_willis [00:21] I tried that, but it isn't letting me split it up. [00:21] didn't work for me [00:21] hey guys, grub2 splash image won't work. I've followed the steps up to the letter, and won't work. Changed the line at /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme with the image name, added the path to the img, (it's an grub2 adapted image from grub2-splashimages package, so img ain't the problem), did update-grub and it finds the image, but in the boot time nothing happens [00:21] Aha [00:21] Yes! [00:21] Italian_Plumber1: According to git's creator it is "svn done right" [00:22] h00k: okay I have created an ntfs partition with 36.12GB and ext3 with 37 GB [00:22] well maybe I'll give it a try sometime. [00:22] does that sound right? [00:22] right now I just wanna get this rtorrent thing working. [00:22] LinuX2half: it does ;) [00:22] hy might my window decorations break upon login? I'm on Karmic, 64bit, latest kernel, nvidia drivers on a nvidia 8600mgt card. This just started happening, I haven't changed anything, fairly recent 64bit install. I have to go to System -> Appearance -> and re-check the second box to get window decorations back. [00:22] LinuX2half: sure! [00:22] LinuX2half: but i think you have to accept changes or something in gparted [00:22] luks_: okay then all i had to do now is to apply the changes, running sudo power [00:23] h00k: if you disable alle effects does it still happen? [00:23] acicula: well, that's what it is at when I login. [00:23] LinuX2half: hopefully, yes :) [00:23] is there anyway i can figure out the weird *-*-*-* format of a selected font from a gui window that shows all my fonts (not xfontsel)? [00:23] h00k: did you activate the nvidia hardware driver? [00:23] acicula: I disabled effects, I do still have decorations, yes [00:23] acicula: yes [00:23] acicula: yes, i've restarted [00:24] Alright now's its checking the filesystem for any errors [00:24] h00k: disable it and see if the problem still occurs or enable it and see if the problem still occurs? [00:24] acicula: acicula yes, I'm using the 185 drivers [00:25] acicula: if I disable effects, I still have decorations. This is fine. The problem is that when I login, they're disabled and window decorations are broken. [00:25] h00k: as in the window borders and such dissappear? [00:25] how can I know witch architecture I have on my machine? [00:25] acicula: when I log in, yes. [00:26] h00k: seems like metacity or compiz crashes on login then? [00:26] coolcat, arch? [00:26] acicula: yes, this is the problem. [00:27] h00k: Do you have anything starting compiz related in your session? (sys>prefs>startup programs) like fusion-icon or compiz? [00:27] soreau: negative. [00:27] sync3times, thank you [00:27] acicula, soreau: I didn't need anything previously, all-of-a-sudden it started dying on login. [00:28] mercutio42: in grub2 it would be hd0,1 and hd0,2 [00:28] so after I shrink the partition and add the ntfs partition, I can still able to access my Ubuntu OS correct? [00:28] I don't have ccsm-settings-manager for any other special plugins installed, I don't want/need this, I don't want to have to use fusion-icon. [00:28] h00k: other then switching the graphic driver i have no solution, if it persists with both the open source and binary nvidia driver best to post it on the forum or report it in launchpad [00:28] arand: thanks. I just found out as well =] [00:28] hi [00:28] h00k: If you set None in sys>prefs>appearance>visual effects then re-login, does the problem persist? [00:29] LinuX2half: yes [00:29] is there any project management opensource program for ubuntu/linux? [00:29] LinuX2half: If the file system was resized too, yes. [00:29] okay its shrinking the filesystem [00:30] after scanning for errors in the /dev/sda1 file system [00:30] soreau: yep, I have it turned off, logged out and back in, I don't have window decorations. === jon is now known as Guest22723 [00:30] LinuX2half: do you want to install windows on your ntfs partition? [00:30] luks_: Yes planning to [00:31] LinuX2half: ok, remember to reinstall grub because windows overwrites the master boot record [00:31] h00k: Well that's strange.. can you open gconf-editor and see if there's anything set for desktop/gnome/session/required components/window manager? [00:31] LinuX2half: otherwise you are only able to boot into windows [00:31] soreau: coincidentally, Gnome also forgot to open folders with Nautilus, I had to re-set that manually [00:31] LinuX2half: is the ntfs going to be the first partiton after? [00:32] soreau: windowmanger's value is 'compiz' [00:32] arrand: the ntfs is New Partition #1 [00:32] How do I get my ext4 hard disk passphrase? [00:32] LinuX2half: is the ntfs partition created before are after your linux partition? in the hard disk layout (sorry for my english) [00:33] luks_: I think its after the linux partition [00:33] soreau: I also did blast my gnome-settings (rm -rf .gnome2, .gconf, .gconfd) to see if it was anything in there and start with a default gnome session, this didn't fix it. [00:34] LinuX2half: ok, just because windows (at least XP afaik) can get grumphy if it isn't installed to the layout-wise first partition. [00:34] arand: I've had XP on a not-first partition and had it fine [00:34] Is there a PPA or some other repo that has PHP 5.3? [00:34] arand: i think it works flawlessly if you create a ntfs with linux and install windows on it [00:34] It's mentioned in the Karmic pre-release chats but there aren't any links :( [00:35] arand: the only problem I've had is software backup stuffs overwriting the mbr, especially with grub2 [00:35] h00k: LinuX2half: hmm, ok, might be wron on that then. [00:35] Hello [00:36] Wow, there's a lot of people here [00:36] Hello again, friends. Two problems today, but I'll take it one at a time, firstly: Anyone feel like helping me to enable WPA encryption on my wireless connection? Wireless networks are detected and listed, so the wireless card is functional in the most basic sense, however, when going to connect to any particular network, I am not given the option of entering a WPA passphrase, only WEP,... [00:36] ...and as my router is set to use WPA, this is a problem. I am trying to get this going on a fresh Karmic install on a Toshiba A15-S157 notebook. [00:37] !wifi | codyduncan [00:37] codyduncan: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [00:37] codyduncan: did you try wpa_supplicant? [00:37] ojacobson: while it would be unwise, it is in debian experimental [00:37] @luks_ yes, I did, to no avail [00:37] ChogyDan: hmm, I wonder how badly adding that to an ubuntu machine would break things [00:37] the ntfs is created as the primary partition [00:37] Well, it's a VM! Let's find out [00:37] codyduncan: Is wpasupplicant package installed? [00:37] I'm trying to customise ubuntu live cd using uck but I don't have 5 gb free space. [00:37] on /dev/sda [00:37] codyduncan: consider switching to wicd [00:38] ojacobson: no one knows, thats why it is there :) [00:38] How can I get around that? [00:38] usb_problem: perhaps get more space [00:38] LinuX2half: thats ok, but primary is a type of partition, it doesnt mean its the first partition on your hard disk [00:38] I don't have more space. [00:38] I just can't seem to get my ubuntu-server going as a gateway with two NICs. I can ping the internet and locally, but packets are not passed on. [00:39] I too am running into an issue... I have an HP Mini 1000 and when I try to install the broadcom driver fix for the wireless it keeps asking me to insert /cdrom/ --- problem is, I don't have a cdrom (only able to use the USB way of installing)... is there a way to do apt-usb or apt-get w/out being online and point it to what I'm trying to install from the usb live (cd) [00:39] So? [00:40] Chard1: is the usb plugged in? [00:40] yes, i have the usb thumbdrive plugged in... [00:40] jMyles: you need to explicitly setup the routing [00:40] Chard1: Which driver does System > Administration > Hardware Drivers want to install? [00:40] and then i go to synaptics and try to install the broadcom.. and it eventually tells me to insert /cdrom/ [00:40] Chard1: hmmm, and it keeps asking for the cdrom? check your sources, maybe delete the cdrom, and add the usb [00:41] acicula: Hi again! I don't really understand the routing. How do I set it up? I have webmin installed. [00:42] :Jordan_U .. No propriety drivers are in use on this system.. is what it says [00:42] U8.04Desktop. I've installed Postfix. changed main.cf to relay mail.comcast.net 587 added a file in sasl directory to include comcast username and password. Still getting relay problem. What have I missed? [00:42] jMyles: normally its not really needed, your normal broadband router will take care of it all? [00:42] ChogyDan: you don't know where the debian repo GPG key is hiding by any chance, do you? [00:42] I want to either install the minimal cd to usb or remaster the live cd. The first doesn't work, I need help. [00:42] so no need to explicitly route through a system with two nics [00:42] ojacobson: no idea [00:43] Chard1: What is the exact chipset of your wireless card? ( "lshw -C network", look for BCM43XX, and tell me what the "XX" is ) [00:44] Okay, since the typically-suggested wpasupplicant method seems to be of no use, is wicd a viable option? How would I go about using that instead (typical apt-get install wicd?) [00:44] Chard1: Do you have the CD selected if you check software sources (gksudo software-properties-gtk)? [00:44] So, i'm a little confused... Is dynamic tick supported on 64 bit, and is the tick still ultimately limited by the kernel option CONFIG_HZ? [00:45] well, now i can't find broadcom source to install... i just installed the netbook remix version... (i've tried std i386 9.10 ubuntu... and it works when i use the live cd - but quits after the install)... tried the MEI version of ubuntu from HP, but it doesn't support the verizon wireless.... and now the netbook remix... doesn't show any wireless activity whatsoever [00:45] i'm in synaptics now... looking around [00:45] codyduncan: wicd is just a different approach of controlling the wireless, the underlying issue is the driver, if it doesnt work in nm it wont work in wicd either(most of the time anyway) [00:46] does anyone know how i can change my splash screen? [00:46] please help me [00:46] its taking a long time to shrink the file system.. [00:46] Chard1: What card do you have? My broadcom firmware was in the b43-fwcutter package [00:46] Chard1: What is the exact chipset of your wireless card? ( run "lshw -C network" in a terminal , look for BCM43XX, and tell me what the "XX" is ) [00:46] if i go to add cdrom it just says please insert a disc in the drive [00:46] LinuX2half: thats nothing to worry about [00:46] acicula: not sure what to do next. [00:46] hello all. My 9.10 install is a bit buggy. I dont have any tabs at the top of any programs that I run. How do i fix this [00:47] Chard1: yeah, its screwy [00:47] that's a good question.. but i don't know the exact chipset [00:47] it's just a hp mini 1000 [00:47] and...my terminal is all white. Cant see anything that I type [00:47] Harrison_Bergero: System > Preferences > Appearance, try turning off desktop effects [00:47] Chard1: follow Jordan_U 's suggestion to find out.. [00:47] Chard1: lshw -C network [00:47] soreau: I tried gnome-wm as a windowmanager instead of compiz, I'm having the same thing [00:47] k, one sec [00:47] Chard1: paste that into a terminal and tell us the output [00:48] Jordan_U Wow...thanks [00:48] h00k: did you disabling/enabling the hw driver? [00:48] Harrison_Bergero: np [00:48] it says BCM4312 802.11b/g [00:48] ChogyDan: No good. Thanks for the suggestion, though. [00:48] acicula: thanks. I am now looking to see if wpasupplicant even supports my wireless card. Where can I find a profile of my hardware to compare it to the supported list? [00:48] the netbook is not able to be brought online yet [00:49] no physical ethernet and the wireless is not working yet [00:49] acicula: the driver in jocket-gtk, you're meaning? Yeah. [00:49] codyduncan: ( run "lshw -C network" in a terminal , [00:49] Chard1: Use the b43-fwcutter package [00:49] Chard1: do you know what packages you need? you can just install the debs straight from the usb [00:49] h00k: system-administration->hardware drivers [00:49] how to move a panel to the other monitor? [00:49] codyduncan: drag [00:49] if i type b43 in the search [00:49] acicula: Yeah, that'd be jockey-gtk. Did this.

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [00:52] Chard1: Ok, first download this file and put it on your USB drive: http://jordanu.dyndns.org/b43karmic.tar [00:52] does anyone know how i can change my splash screen?

[00:52] ChogyDan: That won't install without a network connection [00:52] Chard1: just go there on the livecd, and double click [00:53] ok i've downloaded both files and put them on usb [00:53] ChogyDan: For legal reasons that package just contains a script that will download the real firmware from the internet [00:53] Jordan_U: oh, I see! [00:53] ok [00:53] for legal reasons [00:53] its legal to download, not legal to repackage and distribte [00:54] How can I specify in terminal that I want to go back a level, then another to another folder? [00:54] hence not in a package, but pointed to by an installation package, read the license for more info [00:54] sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so && sudo update-initramfs -u just gives me http://pastebin.com/m22502a4a [00:54] Slix: cd ../foo [00:54] Slix: cd .. ? [00:54] Slix: cd ../otherfolder [00:54] two dots! Thanks [00:54] ok, remember the netbook is not online yet [00:54] Slix: . = current directory ..= previous directory [00:55] in the tree anyway [00:55] acicula: no, - is the previous directory. .. is the parent directory. [00:55] :ChogyDan that failed to work [00:55] tritium: yeah - is the previously visited directory [00:56] and now that package installer seems to be stuck... can't close it.. one sec [00:57] Chard1: Have you have tried the link to the b43-fwcutter package I sent you. [00:57] !usplash [00:57] 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 [00:57] Chard1: Ok, now put b43karmic.tar on your desktop ( on the netboot ) [00:57] sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so && sudo update-initramfs -u just gives me http://pastebin.com/m22502a4a [00:57] i am about to... i put it on usb [00:57] acicula: I am looking at this list of information, and while I can see the section for the wireless card, there is no product name listed. [00:57] can anybody tell me what to do? [00:58] configuration question: where is the file kept that configures "prefered applications" ? I freshly installed ubuntu, copied over my ~ directory, and it clobbered some setting, and I am not sure WHERE that is kept [00:58] Geoffry: you actually did install/add some custome artwork? [00:58] ok done [00:58] codyduncan: You can't find the card name on 'lshw -C network' ? [00:58] i put it on the desktop [00:58] b43karmic.tar [00:59] Dr_Willis: I downloaded a splash screen from gnome-look, I don't know what to do with it [00:59] Chard1: Once it's on your desktop run "sudo tar -xvf Desktop/b43karmic.tar -C /lib/firmware/" ( make sure to type that exactly, capitalization counts ) [00:59] it's a .so file [00:59] techwizrd: No. There is other information, but nothing of a product name. [00:59] ok, it did a bunch of stuff [00:59] Geoffry: theres some guidea i recall at the gnome look page. is somthing you see for like 3 sec on boot up worth all this hassle? usplash is getting phased out in thenext release i belive also. [01:00] Geoffry: you basically copy it to the right location [01:00] how? [01:00] i guess it unpacked it to that dir [01:00] codyduncan: Can you paste the output somwhere? Like pastie.org or dpaste.com? [01:00] Geoffry: sudo cp whatever whever and i dont know where it goes. [01:00] oh [01:01] Chard1: Good, now try rebooting and wireless will hopefully be working [01:01] I am at a dead end with internet connection sharing. My gateway can ping both sides but the packets, they do not flow. [01:01] ok, will give it a go [01:01] Alright, well I googled all over the place, idk a guide [01:01] techwizrd: http://pastie.org/773049 [01:01] is there a command from an internal app to print this table http://izecksohn.com/pedro/pub/index.html [01:02] Geoffry: any guide maybe out of date for 9.10 also. Its not really worth fighting with. [01:02] I'm using 9.04 [01:02] negative [01:02] if i click the network up top... nothings listed [01:03] techwizrd: if the iwconfig would be of any use: http://pastie.org/773053 [01:03] it says wired network.. but there's not actually an ethernet port on this thing [01:03] codyduncan: That's weird. It doesn't list your product or vendor. It does say your firmware is Lucent/Agere 8.10 or something [01:04] My klamav keeps on telling me that encrypt.zip files are a virus but I suspect that they are not; any ideas? thanx [01:04] can i put a pci express 2.1x16 on a pci express 2.0x16 mobo, will work corectly? [01:04] zavi: try some of the online virus scanner sites, when in doubt get a second oponion [01:04] i will try it again with the install of 9.10 ubuntu full [01:04] instead of the netbook remix release [01:04] ati video card [01:04] have you any examples of alternatives? [01:04] Chard1: Is there any error message if you run "sudo modprobe b43" ? [01:05] and do what you told me to do [01:05] techwizrd: any guesses? [01:05] cvd_: bit offtopic, 2.1 doesnt exist, 1.1 does and is backwards compatible with 2.0, so should be fine [01:05] alsa is giving me problems [01:05] codyduncan: Nope. I'm googling Lucent/Agere though. [01:05] no error.. just gives me the command line again [01:05] ok, so I know of X2VNC and Synergy and Win2VNC and all that... is there something similar that takes over all input and sends it directly until it gets an escape code (needs to run on linux and connect to windows, vnc is fine, other things may work too) (I don't need to switch between machines like synergy2, I don't need video return like vnc) [01:05] acicula, it exist http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814131327 === ke- is now known as ke` [01:06] Chard1: Can you try "sudo rmmod b43 && sudo modprobe b43" ?

[01:09] is there a fix for the way that pulseaudio ferociously eats memory in Karmic? [01:09] karma, yeah don't use pusleaudio [01:09] use VLC [01:09] or rhythm box [01:09] Jp82191: those are entirely different things [01:10] okay. I rephrase. is there a fix for the way that pulseaudio ferociously eats memory in Karmic, while still using pulseaudio? [01:10] Jp82191: Unless otherwise configured, VLC and Rhythmbox will still use Pulse. [01:10] 'ello, Just installed Ubuntu(9.10) and have a noob question :) How do I edit my X configuration file? I need to run `nvidia-xconfig` as root, and restart the X server. [01:10] oh ok [01:10] pulseaudio is the distro default, so best just leave it as is [01:10] techwizrd: http://www.debianadmin.com/enable-wpa-wireless-access-point-in-ubuntu-linux.html (seems pretty close to the problem) [01:10] i don't have pulseaudio on my laptop or desktop [01:10] and audio works fine [01:10] :D [01:10] Jp82191: you removed it? [01:11] karma, yes but i don't remember what i installed in its place [01:11] If you aren't using Pulseaudio, you're probably using direct ALSA [01:11] don't need to install anything in its place. it is a convenience, not a neccessity. [01:11] yup [01:11] i see alsa [01:11] !worksforme [01:11] Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/worksforme/ [01:11] codyduncan: Looking at it noe [01:11] *now [01:11] lol [01:12] does anyone know how to stop VLC from auto playing an ipod? [01:12] ;) don't use VLC? [01:12] * karma snickers to self. [01:12] lol [01:12] Its taking a long time for it to shrink the file system, how long is this process going to consume.....? [01:12] not using vlc im trying to use hipo but vlc always butts in :D [01:13] LinuX2half: depends on how much data there is on the disk i thnk [01:13] Hi all! I'm trying to get the Blue Snowball mic working with Jaunty. It works fine through ALSA, and when I look at the microphone through the PulseAudio Volume Control, I can see the volume bar moving and it selected as default. But when I change Sound Capture in System->Preferences->Sound to PulseAudio Sound Server, it doesn't work (playback through PulseAudio works fine). Any ideas? [01:13] techwizrd: would it be better if I tried installing ndiswrapper since it seems like this wireless card, though supported generally, is giving me crap? [01:14] if it works with ALSA stick with ALSA [01:14] don't go to PulseAudio [01:14] the thing is, i need pulseaudio because i'm mixing a ton of sound sources [01:14] hey guys i have a old laptop with no harddrive in it i want to install ubuntu onto a usb stick but i don't want to use the live cd way i want to use grub etc can i just grab a install disk net install or something boot it then install to the usb as its a harddrive [01:14] will that work [01:15] try it out if not then just format the usb stick [01:15] Shrinking half the file system does sound intimating [01:15] Jp82191, re-VLC/iPod - Nautilus / Edit / Preferences / Media tab - see if "Music Player" has VLC selected [01:16] how do i open Nautilus? [01:16] Jp82191, that's the file manager in gnome [01:16] Jp82191: Nautilus is the default file browser [01:16] ubuntu-es [01:17] yup [01:17] hello... newbie on the terminal here... is their a better channel for terminal related questions? [01:17] #ubuntu-es [01:17] hrm. no solution to pulseaudio eating up multiple Gb of memory in a karmic install? [01:17] i selected the default action to be do nothing is that ok? [01:17] ZeeO: yea, but if you run it from the usb it will inevitably be slower than from a disk, you can do things like putting tmp in ram but it won't be full speed by far [01:17] does anyone else encounter this problem? [01:18] When I click the detail, it said resize2fs /dev/sda1 38796943K [01:18] Hi, whenever I connect I constantly have to manually re-edit resolv.conf to edit the dns settings. I save them, but when I restart I have to do it all over again. How can I make it permanently stay with those DNS settings?

Anyone else feel like helping me to enable WPA encryption on my wireless connection? Wireless networks are detected and listed, so the wireless card is functional in the most basic sense, however, when going to connect to any particular network, I am not given the option of entering a WPA passphrase, only WEP, and as my router is set to use WPA, this is... [01:31] i closed nautilus terminal and GUI associated with it [01:31] ...a problem. I am trying to get this going on a fresh Karmic install on a Toshiba A15-S157 notebook. Thus far, I have found this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/315489 which would seem to relate to my problem.

[01:34] Stavros: Install using the alternative cd and then only install the base system [01:34] Please, somebody help me configure sound system in Ubuntu Jaunty Jackalope... [01:34] can someone help me figure out why im getting "permission denied" as root on /home/user/.gvfs? [01:34] isnt there a shift alt command too?

[01:35] Code_Bleu, Absolutely sure you're root? [01:35] Jp82191 Yes, I am. [01:35] plustax_: this was fromerly available through ctrl+alt+backspace [01:35] arand so that wont restart the computer just the graphics? Is this what you recommend when the game freezes? [01:35] Stavros: edit /etc/fstab and change the runlevel to 3, then reboot which will bring you into console mode then remove all the packages relating to xorg and gnome ect... [01:35] ok look upper left for my name and go there [01:35] Stavros: I'm sorry /etc/inittab [01:36] plustax_: I normally do *alt+f2* "killall stupid-game" *alt+f7* [01:36] chobbs: yes [01:36] chaz: i'm in console already, but which package can i remove to have everything removed? [01:36] Stavros: Install "dselect" as an alternative. It will provide a list of programs from the command line. It uses ncurses to display "windows" from the command line. [01:37] kb0odu: thanks for the hint, but i don't really need that, i don't use the gui at all now anyway [01:37] i just want to remove all the useless packages [01:37] plustax_: sorry that should have been ctrl+alt+F2 (and F7) [01:37] Stavros: It runs from the command line. [01:37] It's command line only. [01:38] kb0odu: i know, but i don't need any non-console programs, so it wouldn't give me any benefit [01:38] Code_Bleu, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=791693 [01:38] i just need a way to convert a stock ubuntu install to a headless one [01:39] Stavros: Try apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop [01:39] Stavros: sudo aptitude remove xserver-xorg ? [01:39] Chaz: that just gets rid of the metapackage. leaves the apps installed [01:39] how to move a panel to the other monitor? [01:39] I did a backup of my whole drive, setup cryptsetup LUKS and LVM with ext4, restored files, and am able to boot up into the OS, but im having the .gvfs error, and when i try to load the network-admin it gives an error, and my bluetooth isnt working [01:40] Chaz: that only removes the one package :/ [01:40] Stavros: maybe check the dpends/recommends of metapackage "ubuntu-desktop" and remove most of that? [01:40] Stavros: try removing libx11-6 and xorg, should take down everything else you want [01:40] chobbs: thanks, i saw that too...but that doesnt answer or fix my issue [01:40] Hey guys, I need some help. I apperently don't know how to use synaptic package manager *blush* [01:40] marco: that looks more hopeful, it gives me a huge list [01:41] Code_Bleu, Did you try the solution suggested on the 2nd page: sudo aptitude reinstall gvfs gvfs-backends gvfs-bin gvfs-fuse libgvfscommon0 [01:41] Stavros: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purekde [01:41] i might have installed a few packages that are holding the ui [01:42] chaz: oh, thanks === chobbs is now known as chobbs_brb [01:42] jonathan__: ask away, specify issue. [01:42] I have installed alien arena and wolfenstein: Enemy Territory. when I click on the menu entry for AA, nothing happens. when I click on Wolfenstein, everything gets HUGE and pixally [01:42] I have to put the resalution back up with my nvidia panel [01:43] :-D === chobbs_brb is now known as chobbs [01:43] am I just really bad at using the package manager or something? [01:44] if i don't do full disk encryption and instead only encrypt the home partitions then what information would be leaked [01:44] Code_Bleu, no more ideas then mate [01:44] :coolkehon anything that's no on the home [01:44] i would think [01:45] Chard1: :| [01:45] coolkehon: generally you want to encrypt /home and swap [01:45] i meant like what kind of valuable information would be leaked [01:45] coolcat, what Chard1 says [01:45] coolkehon: if you do /home and swap, nothing [01:45] coolkehon, store your pr0n in /home/coolkehon, and you should be fine :-P [01:46] coolkehon: print spool? there is an infinite number of things that can showup in temp [01:46] hello... I want to know what the easiest way to wrap ALL my traffic through an ssh tunnel (SOCKS5 essentially)... basically I have root access to a computer but the only port open on it is SSH and I want all my traffic going through it.... any recommendations? [01:46] hmm yeah.. /tmp and /var potentially [01:47] fiber, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH_VPN perhaps? Not tried it myself. [01:47] i think i remember reading somewhere that someone had a lot of luck using 9.04 with the hp mini 1000... everything worked [01:47] i might try going down a version [01:49] Hey, how can I actually an instant Linux, for example, involve Tiny Core, which is installed under / tc, in Grub 2? [01:49] 2 finger scrolling stopped working on my touch pad after upgrading to 9.10 [01:49] anybody have a clue? [01:49] chobbs: yes, that would work... i was hoping that there was some graphical interface i could use from the network preferences... the only reason why is I only want to enable this when trying to access certain websites (read: hulu) [01:49] jtaji: is there a guide to install to setup full disk encryption [01:49] from a lice cd [01:49] not the alternate cd [01:50] arand: you still here? [01:50] jonathan__: yup [01:50] got any clue? [01:50] can someone help me with some SSH? [01:50] webfox, yup [01:50] webfox: ask a question :-) [01:50] coolkehon: afaik you have to use the alternate cd [01:51] jtaji: i don't have a cd drive :( [01:51] guys tell me im not loosing my mind... How is my 90GB /home partition full when there is only 29 GB in use??? http://img511.imageshack.us/img511/5139/screenshotdiskusageanal.png [01:51] fiber, If it's just for web browsing, then ssh will work as a socks5 proxy and it is a lot less work than the page I sent you to. I assumed when you said all traffic, you meant all traffic, but if it's just proxying web pages look into ssh [01:51] jtaji: is there another way [01:51] arand: grrr it seems that all packages that I install end up with this problem. when I click on the icon, nothing happens [01:51] arand: except for W:ET, which just messes up my screen resalution [01:51] jonathan__: not really, would guess it'd down to video issues... [01:51] Well, I can connect and run commands on my server just fine. The problem is that once I terminate the connection, it kills the terminal too. Is there any way for it to continue the task? Thanks for the help! [01:51] chobbs: there is where the problem is... simply tunneling my browser is not enough since hulu detects the location based on whatever app is accessing the data through the mms protocol [01:52] webfox: screen [01:52] brb going to boot into mint [01:52] webfox: nohup and screen [01:52] :brando753 is your home dir setup as it's own partition? [01:52] chobbs: (they are tricky like that) [01:52] how can i get pulseaudio to refresh the list of hardware output devices, when I plug in a usb headset for example? [01:52] arand: ? not really sure what you mean [01:52] can anybody recommend a place to get support? [01:52] Chard1: YES [01:52] Chard1: srry for caps :d [01:52] blakkheim: No screen support on DROID, plus its laggy. :P [01:52] adante: support for ubuntu? [01:52] jonathan__: even simple things like say the package alarm-clock [01:52] hmm nobody help me lol :D [01:52] webfox: nohup [01:52] happy_: yeah, if i am unable to get help in here/ubuntuforums [01:52] it looks like it is almost full then... [01:52] webfox: that's not an ubuntu issue, so you might want to ask elsewhere [01:52] fiber, Ahhh. Prolly shouldn't be helping with avoiding content protection schemes in #ubuntu :-) [01:53] blakkheim: >:\ [01:53] webfox, the screen command should be what you need [01:53] adante: then it is probably a hard question. Those are the two places to try. [01:53] chobbs: if it's any consolation... i own the US computer (i live there part of the year)... so technically i shouldn't be filtered :D [01:53] happy_: what is the nohup you speak of? [01:53] Chard1: it shouldnt be almost full its brand new [01:53] arand: are you saying that because I have an nvidia card I can't run any packages? [01:53] happy_: ok, so do i have any further options? [01:54] adante: ask again every once in a while in both places [01:54] arand: I just installed linux earlier today, I'm not exactly very good with this [01:54] happy_: lol [01:54] webfox: nohup makes it disconnect from the terminal. there is no way to reconnect [01:54] jonathan__: if you can run no 3D applications it might be, but this also goes for application that are not 3D? [01:54] brando753 why do you think it is full [01:55] adante: I got no other ideas. look at other linux sources? [01:55] hi [01:55] it seems to be just games and blender 3d [01:55] adante: what os the question? [01:55] jonathan__: *3D-accelerated, rather. [01:55] I just installed ubuntu 9.10 on my dell [01:55] but I haven't used other packages yet [01:55] OH! [01:55] i cannot get the wireless to connect [01:55] happy_: Ubuntu 9.10 [01:55] At the shell, how can I read the label of a floppy disk? [01:55] webfox: what about it? [01:55] playonlinux gave me an error that that wasn't enabled arand. [01:55] happy_: whoops [01:55] happy_: primary one is broken audio http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8560287#post8560287 [01:55] happy_: nvm, lol [01:55] arand: how do I enable it? [01:56] when i go to system testing it shows the network controller [01:56] adante: I can not do audio. :-\ [01:56] Lantizia does fdisk -l list the floppy [01:56] happy_: secondary questions are nonworking boot on main kernel http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8561468#post8561468 and nautilus no longer working on user shares http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8642937#post8642937 [01:56] hello [01:56] tjt, hi [01:56] hello [01:56] Awesome3000: everytime i boot up i get a 56 mb left on /home partition warning that and this http://img259.imageshack.us/img259/1582/screenshotbo.png [01:56] adante: I know nothing about those topics :-) [01:57] jonathan__: so maybe your nvidia drivers aren't installed... If you look in System>Administration>hardware Drivers, is there something you can enable there? [01:57] 不能打中文啊 [01:57] happy_: oh well, thanks for giving it a go anyway :] this year i'm 0/3 on what i thought were solved issues [01:57] anyone able to help with wireless [01:57] Awesome3000, already tried that - doesn't tell you the label [01:57] wgbzxq, bless you [01:57] wgbzxq, gotta cold? [01:57] adante: :-\ sorry to hear that [01:58] arand: I do have one enabled, it's the recommended one. the other one is an older version. do I need that enabled? [01:58] Hmm, if the recommended version is enabled it _should_ work.. [01:59] hmm, where do I enable it? [02:00] jonathan__: if it says "activated" there, it already is. [02:00] if I want to upgrade ubuntu from hardy to Karmic, how do you do that with "do-release-upgrade" ? -d wants to go to Lucid [02:00] hi i am getting segmentation faults when sshing into myself - does anyone have any suggestions? [02:00] I have looked all over my nvidia panel and I can't find 3d ecceleration. also, I can't seem to find the desktop effects. [02:01] david_, that sounds vaguely dirty :) [02:01] america is awesome. [02:01] jonathan__: does the hardware-drivers tool say the drivers are enabled? if so then yiu shoudl have 3d acce. [02:01] D: fail [02:01] david_, you are typing ssh localhost and getting a segfault? [02:01] I do have one of them. [02:02] chobbs: yeh! that ssh died after all this time is driving me a bit nuts [02:02] the other one is just an older version. [02:02] sync3times: yes. plus putty wont connect either [02:02] why I insert a windows installation disc its not recognized by my computer [02:02] i am really stumped as what to do [02:02] david_, from the same machine? do you have any entries in /etc/hosts.deny ?? [02:03] sync3times: yes, but im not denied [02:03] ssh/d has worked without issue for like 3 years [02:03] so this is really strange [02:03] david_, anything in /var/log/auth.log [02:03] Guys, how to make my computer visible in a Windows network? [02:04] I don't understand why this is happening, I can't run 3d programs, I can't use desktop effects, but I can't find where I'm supposed to turn on 3d acc. [02:04] what is the unmount command for a floppy [02:04] its recognized by the computer as a blank CD-R but its unable to reveal its content though [02:04] isolat3dsh33p: You need SAMBA [02:04] floppy.....wow [02:04] where do I find glib-2.2.0 via synaptic? [02:04] kb0odu, it's installed by default in 9.10 right? [02:04] sync3times: receive signal 15 [02:05] bind to port 0.0.0.0 22 failed address already in use [02:05] isolat3dsh33p: Hmm...don't think so. I think I had to install it afterwards [02:05] sync3times: any of those helpful? [02:05] david_, any updates recently that might mean that your current sshd is out of date? [02:05] Awesome3000, should be umount /media/floppy (is that the right device name? It's been ages.....) [02:05] kb0odu, « apt-cache policy samba » gives this « Installed: 2:3.4.0-3ubuntu5.3 » :/ [02:05] chobbs Thanks [02:05] sync3times: im still on feisty fawn. i havent updated for ages [02:05] david_, restart sshd [02:05] Then you need to configure it for your network / workgroup. [02:06] is it possible to install windows xp to a partition with ubuntu? [02:06] maybe I installed it and forgot I've installed it. [02:06] sync3times: tried that, plus a reboot [02:06] Lantizia sudo mlabel -s A: That should do it [02:06] it said to create a new file system but I'm not sure if I should commit the action if it had the consequence of losing my data and could led to disaster. [02:06] kb0odu, which part? [02:06] david_, verify the package. Sounds hacked [02:07] xxx_: windows will want its own partition. thats how dual booting works. [02:07] hello room [02:07] sync3times: how do i do that? [02:07] isolat3dsh33p: Try Gadmin-samba tool [02:07] xxx_: you can have xp and ubuntu both on the same hard drive [02:07] kb0odu, ok, thanks :) [02:07] Dr_Willis, i know how to dual boot i need to install windows from linux [02:07] david_, dunno. some dpkg command should be able to do it, but I know rpm betterer [02:07] sync3times: i apt-get removed ssh and installed it [02:08] david_: debsums [02:08] david_, ssh-server? [02:08] I am debian here, I find it pretty cool how ubuntu automounts usb storage devives containing ntfs filesystems with write permissions. Maybe someone here can explain to me how to have debian accomplish that as well [02:08] does anyone know what dlna protocol error 2104 is? [02:08] sync3times:, david_: debsums checks the hashes of installed files [02:08] david_, it's NOT a good idea to be using End-Of-Life ubuntu versions (no security updates!) [02:09] maco, thanx , I needed to know that command.

[02:15] edbian, does that work for the entire folder or just individual files? [02:15] sync3times, you installed the package debsum? [02:15] Profion, I am kinda done with that issue. Thanks for your help [02:15] Harrison_Bergero, If you do it like that it will only change the file that you put into === EcKstasy is now known as JNSamuel [02:15] rww: if i install a new version of ubuntu instead of upgrade, will i keep my configs [02:15] ?

[02:19] jonnathan__, cat /proc/driver/nvidia/cards/0 [02:19] edbian, silly question, how do i use this command if the folder name is two words [02:19] jonathan__, Have you looked at the compiz-check script? It is very helpful in these sort of things http://forlong.blogage.de/entries/pages/Compiz-Check [02:20] I can't seem to make my CD recognizable [02:20] GeForce 7150M / nForce 630M [02:20] seems the command is thinking that each word is a separate folder and giving me an error [02:20] edbian, thanks, trying now [02:20] Harrison_Bergero, are there spaces in the filename? [02:20] Harrison_Bergero: quote or escape names with spaces in them [02:20] chobbs, yes [02:20] jonatha__ do mine, it will tell you if the drivers are loaded [02:20] Harrison_Bergero, Well, a "\" comes before a space. So "folder name" would become folder\ name [02:20] Escape the spaces with a backslash like this: My\ File\ Name [02:21] sync3times: alright [02:21] Harrison_Bergero, You can also use tab completion. Type cd /path/to/a/fold[tab][tab] pressing the tab key where stated and the terminal tries to autocomplete what you're typing. Do you understand? [02:21] jonathan_, what happens when you type glxgears [02:21] I would like to expand my Recent Documents from 10 to about 20 showing in the list. Places>Recent Documents. Can you even change it, Ubuntu9.10 [02:21] is the effect immediate or do i have to reboot? [02:21] * chobbs loves him some tab completion [02:22] sync3tiems, I tried your first one... not sure what I'm supposed to gain from that. trying glxgears [02:22] Is this where I can get windows technical support? [02:22] I have a very very strange question... [02:22] so does anyone have any ideas [02:22] edbian, damn. Still getting permission denied error. It didnt work [02:22] jonathan__, if it said anything, your drivers are loaded and see the card [02:22] rohit ask away [02:22] Harrison_Bergero, What is giving you permission denied? [02:22] jonathan__: have you upgraded to 9.10 or is this a fresh install? [02:23] synXlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0". [02:23] Error: couldn't get an RGB, Double-buffered visual [02:23] and the first one said something [02:23] arand, He's using 9.10 [02:23] Will the command "cp -fR /home/rohit/foo/bar/ /home/rohit/foo/output/" ever copy the entire bar directory as it is into output?

[02:23] jonathan_, look in /etc/X11/xorg.conf and check to make sure you have a Section "Module" \ Load "glx" \ EndSection [02:23] NCSU? [02:23] Harrison_Bergero, answer me this. Who owns the files in question? [02:23] how do I stop the audio cd extractor from opening up when I insert an audio CD ? [02:23] nm...it was a long shot, just though i'd ask [02:23] edbian, me, the user [02:24] rohit, try cp -a [02:24] Harrison_Bergero, what are the permissions on the file right now? [02:24] edbian, what command shows the permission in terminal [02:24] ubuntu firefox is different from the way things are done on firefox help site [02:24] Harrison_Bergero, ls -l [02:24] sync3times: the thing is I DON'T want it to copy bar as it is ... I just want the contents to be copied into output [02:24] how do I get the server IP that I'm trying to connect to?

[02:25] y [02:25] sync3times: tried that, and I do have that [02:25] rohit, so you want ownership and permissions and such not necessarily preserved? [02:25] sync3times: What I get is output/bar/ instead I just want the files in bar to in output/ [02:25] Harrison_Bergero, According to those permissions giulia is allowed to read write and execute the file. Nobody else is allowed to do anything [02:26] Harrison_Bergero, Which means that sudo chmod 755 was not applied to this file for whatever reason [02:26] edbian, so why does transmission stop every single torrent with "permission denied" error? [02:26] Harrison_Bergero, I'm not 100% sure [02:26] rohit, have you tried: cp -fR /home/rohit/foo/bar/* /home/rohit/foo/output/ [02:26] * meowbuntu is tempted to call !ops for help. someone should know [02:26] jonatha__, /var/log/X.0.log may tell you something.

[02:30] my harddrive on my laptop failed and I have been using ubuntu as a live CD but it takes too much ram and crashes often due to lack of resources so I installed ubuntu to a 4GB flash drive but it won't boot fully [02:30] http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m31e1557a [02:30] jonathan_, excellent. [02:30] sync3times: I also found this 2 lines before it: [02:30] (EE) Failed to load module "glx" (loader failed, 7) [02:30] i can't edit grub... which I think im suppose to do while in a live session because the permissions dont allow it [02:30] whoops [02:30] !bluetooth [02:30] For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup [02:30] Harrison_Bergero, Did you tab complete it? try this: "sudo chmod -R 777 Incomi[tab][tab]" [02:30] edbian, its a partition that i manually mount. I dont use it all the time [02:30] ChogyDan, dont know how to get firefox to do that. only help was windows related. [02:31] sync3times: (EE) Failed to load /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions//libglx.so [02:31] Harrison_Bergero, I can see that it is some extra partition :) [02:31] jonathan__, the files for glx are provided by nvidia. is that file there? [02:31] ChogyDan, ah thanks missed that [02:31] anyone? [02:31] Harrison_Bergero, Do you understand? [02:32] does the latest version recognize wifi uot of the box? [02:32] !seen camelneuker [02:32] I have no seen command [02:32] Sorry geitenneuker. I haven't seen camelneuker around. [02:32] edbian, i tabbed twice and got this: giulia@Photoland:/media/DABC7284BC725B49$ sudo chmod -R 777 Incoming\ Torrents/ [02:32] jonathan__, do a cksum on that file for me [02:32] sync3times: usr/lib/xorg doesn't excest [02:32] I'm on only wifi for my net.. no hard line at all..

I haven't seen kameelneuker around. [02:33] sync3times: *blush* here's the cksum 1803842177 1272144 /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions//libglx.so [02:34] KindOne: are you a bot? [02:34] KiDD420 that should let you edit as root [02:34] jonathan__, the cksum is the same as on my system [02:34] Harrison_Bergero, So it did finish it for you? then why is it not effecting the file ?? [02:34] Whats extremely irritating is this worked before the upgrade! Grrr [02:34] Hey all - could anyone help me with setting NFS with 8.04 LTS? I am using shares-admin and I am at the part where it is asking me to specify network. It wants to know the netwpork and netmask [02:34] edbian, i wish i knew [02:34] Harrison_Bergero, and the output of whoami [02:34] sync3times: soooooo that file is ok? what is the problem then? [02:34] chobbs, what? [02:34] :Werenerd netwpork? [02:34] jonathan__, type dmesg and see if nvidias driver spit up any messages there [02:34] chobbs, giulia@Photoland:/media/DABC7284BC725B49$ whoami [02:34] giulia [02:34] Chard1: sorry, typing fast [02:34] maco: user with a seen script, I'd wager [02:34] Harrison_Bergero, I'm just confirming you're the user you believe you are :) [02:35] hello there [02:35] chobbs, gotcha. I am. [02:35] Harrison_Bergero, What does chmod do when it runs? Return errors or anything? [02:35] edbian, the first time it asked for a password because of the sudo, then after that nothing, just a cursor. [02:36] Harrison_Bergero, Try and do it to some other file somewhere else [02:36] I am pretty sure the netmask is the 255.255.255.0, but I don't know what to put in the Network field [02:36] sync3times: nvidia gave a message about the GPU I'm pretty sure, but I have alot of nvidia stuff in this computer [02:36] Harrison_Bergero, edbian, you shouldn't need sudo if you're changing permissions on files you own [02:36] sync3times: does this mean anything? nvidia: module license 'NVIDIA' taints kernel. [02:36] anyone?? [02:37] jonatha__, thats fine. how many nvidia cards to you have in the computer counting mobo [02:37] Harrison_Bergero, look at the files inside that folder. 777 should make them all read write and executable by everybody [02:37] jonathan__, taints kernel is 'cause it isn't open source (nothing to worry about really) [02:37] jonathan__, cat /proc/driver/nvidia/cards/1 [02:37] CaBlGuY: you can try the livecd to find out [02:37] edbian, wow....drwxrwxrwx 2 giulia giulia 4096 2009-08-29 04:03 Musik [02:37] Awesome3000: it just come up with a blank file? [02:37] Harrison_Bergero, There you go! [02:37] Harrison_Bergero, try running chmod 777 on the folder without the -R ;) [02:37] sync3times: I'm honestly not sure... mobo is... graphics chipset is... mic and "headset" that I've never heard of (probably the speakers) is... [02:38] sync3times, I forgot to ask, is there any particular reason why I have to add the '.' after the / ? [02:38] edbian, well, what about the folder on the partition im trying to use for transmission? [02:38] sync3times: tring now, I just type that into the terminal correct? [02:38] rohit, it says, put it "there" [02:38] KiDD420 can you just reinstall grub from the liveCD [02:38] uhhh [02:38] jonathan__, yup [02:38] i dont know how [02:38] edbian, nope still nothing [02:38] same as before [02:38] I am having some issues with qjackctl sending back xruns. Can someone help me? [02:38] sync3times: no such file or directory [02:38] sync3times, ok cool :) [02:38] i just installed it with the interface ubuntu came with and told it to install to the usb drive [02:38] Harrison_Bergero, really? with no errors? something is wrong [02:39] Harrison_Bergero, Go there in nautilus and get some eyes on the problem [02:39] edbian, does it have to do with the partition? Do i have to share the partition as a whole? [02:39] Is this where i get support for Ubuntu 9.10? [02:39] presario16xluser: yes [02:39] i got a problem [02:39] Harrison_Bergero, No, if that were so it would affect ALL of the files on the partition not just some of them [02:40] anyone have much knowledge on qjackctrl? Is there a better irc for that? [02:40] edbian, im in nautilus window [02:40] i cannot start ubuntu, it has no knob [02:40] Ok because I am trying to boot ubuntu off a very old notebook and the live cd takes 20 minutes to boot. === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [02:40] !url by [02:40] Harrison_Bergero, You can look at the permissions using right click and properties [02:40] presario16xluser, I just tried the live CD on a 12 year old thinkpad, took that long as well. [02:41] !tld by [02:41] Harrison_Bergero, personal message me? [02:41] sync3times: no such file or directory [02:41] geitenneuker: Do you have an actual Ubuntu support question we can help you with? [02:41] jonathan__ good [02:41] good? ok... now what? [02:41] damn dicktator on belarus [02:41] On a presario 1600-xl142 (pentium 3), it takes a long time. (this is an actual question.) [02:41] i wonder y ubuntu selects kde packages in updatemanager. kubuntu never selects gnome packages. [02:41] ^ any ideas [02:41] KiDD420 sudo grub-install /dev/ in a terminal [02:42] meowbuntu? is this a new release? [02:42] meowbuntu, You have some application that uses KDE things [02:42] does jack fall under support in this irc room? I've run into a problem getting it running and really need some help. The message box returns four XRUNS and then kills jack [02:42] sync3times: ok, now what? [02:42] how do I install oss4 on ubuntu 9.10 ??? [02:42] jonathan__, it failed to load the glx module. But the 2d graphics work [02:42] edbian, i dont think so [02:42] presario16xluser, Actually, that was a statement. What is the question? [02:42] woofbuntu [02:42] geitenneuker, new release of what [02:43] sync3times ok, how do I fix it? [02:43] edbian, how can i check if i do [02:43] !ot | geitenneuker [02:43] geitenneuker: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [02:43] meowbuntu: ignore geitenneuker, who is just trolling [02:43] jonathan__, I am trying. This is harder since you have the computer there. [02:43] jewbuntu, the ubuntu for orthodox jews [02:43] ChogyDan, thanks [02:43] can anyone see my help request or is something wrong? [02:43] ok, thanks sync3times. problem is I have to go in 15 minutes :( [02:43] moskbuntu, the ubuntu for the arabs [02:43] omg wtf [02:44] Can I just please get some help with installing ubunto on this pentium 3 650mhz notebook with 192mb of ram? (seriosly, whats up with you guys?) [02:44] geitenneuker: You're not being constructive, also somewhat rascist. Please desist [02:44] I just installed Ubuntu, latest, and I hit the desktop and it just spins [02:44] I can't do anything, just the orange background, with a spinning mouse [02:44] halp? [02:44] can anyone help me find out if i have kde apps installed [02:44] presario16xluser: correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think ubuntu will run on that [02:44] green1152: if no one can help you with jack, people will just not respond. [02:44] how do I install oss4 on ubuntu 9.10 ??? [02:44] 192mb is very low mem [02:45] you need at least 512mb to work with it [02:45] jonathan__ can you paste your entire /etc/X11/xorg.conf file? [02:45] presario16xluser: try puppy linux... it might at least boot [02:45] presario16xluser, It'll run, but you'll need to replace the default window manager (metacity) with something more svelte. [02:45] otherwise i recommend to install lubuntu [02:45] jonathan__ use pastebin or whatever [02:45] Thanks Chogy. At least I know something is working right at the moment. [02:45] Well, I can upgrade the ram to 320mb, but the requirements say i need like 192mb of ram. [02:45] sync3times: sure [02:45] Does anyone know why a fresh ubuntu install, that works with the live CD, would, when it hits the desktop, it would just sit there with the orange background and a spinning mouse [02:45] Does anyone know a good place I can go for Jack issues, then? [02:45] get more mem, if you can or install another OS liek lubuntu [02:46] i find it strange that update manager has kde 4 apps there. [02:46] OK NEVERMIND, im just going back to M$ windows! [02:46] green1152: #jack looks relevant. [02:46] thank you [02:46] sync3times: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m4020a42d [02:46] how do i install the "libmp3lame" encoder to convert *.aif files to *.mp3? [02:47] amarok won't let me add music to it. could anyone help ? [02:47] im not sure which partition to install it to? [02:47] magicvibe, try sudo apt-get install (application) [02:47] magicvibe, "sudo apt-get install lame" [02:47] Awesome3000: [02:47] meowbuntu: you should be able to just mark the package you are interested in to remove, and then the removed will tell you what other packages will be removed before asking for confirmation [02:47] thank you, ill try that [02:48] ChogyDan, i want to first find out if i have install anything that may need the kde updates. [02:48] has anyone gotten remote desktop to work over the internet? [02:48] sync3times: still here? [02:48] magicvibe, thats what i would do [02:49] Jp82191, ask your question [02:49] how do I install oss4 on ubuntu 9.10 ??? [02:49] Awesome3000: Could not find device for /boot: Not found or not a block device [02:49] i need to eat a fnord now [02:49] how do i connect to another users computer via remote desktop? [02:49] anyone know how to run android apps in ubuntu? [02:49] magicvibe, better advice would be 'sudo aptitude install lame' [02:49] Jp82191: easy [02:49] meowbuntu: run this, but just make sure to say 'no' sudo apt-get remove kdebase-runtime [02:49] NotTooSmart, try sudo apt-get install (app name) [02:49] jonathan__, here is mine http://pastebin.com/d42ea5855 [02:49] Jp82191: there is a RDP client [02:49] meowbuntu, doesnt have it i dont think [02:49] meowbuntu, thanks, ive tried and it seems to have successfully installed, but the WinFF converter still claims libmp3lame is an unfamiliar encoder [02:49] KiDD420 it will be a device in /dev/ [02:49] ya [02:50] im trying /dev/sdb1/ [02:50] which should be the main partition [02:50] ChogyDan, so run that but say n [02:50] terminal server client [02:50] aye [02:50] then there is the swap partiition [02:50] KiDD420 careful [02:50] Jp82191: terminal server client [02:50] sync3times: ok, I'm not really sure what all that means [02:50] im sure its sdb [02:50] KiDD420 OK [02:50] but when I try to CD to it it say no diretory [02:51] not a directory [02:51] jonathan__, mine is a little simpler. probably makes no difference. But mine is a copy of one that works....with your driver cksum [02:51] KiDD420 it isn't a directory it's a device [02:51] KiDD420, /dev/sdb1 is a device, not a directory. [02:51] well [02:51] amd ganjron, the smoking cpu [02:51] oh, so I replace mine with yours and hope it doesn't explode? [02:51] jonathan__, save multiple copies [02:51] ubuntu@ubuntu:/$ sudo grub-install /dev/sdb1/ [02:51] ok [02:51] geitenneuker: it asked me to install something [02:51] /dev/sdb1/: Not found or not a block device.

[02:54] Yes, I already have a swap partition, and system monitor keeps reporting 0 bytes of 0 bytes from the swap being used. [02:54] should i be trying /dev/sdb1 or /dev/sdb1/ [02:54] sync3times: Ok, I did it. it is takin awhile for me to get the whole command-line sudo thing. but I got it, now what? [02:54] magicvibe, did that help [02:54] arghh2d2, dextromorphan [02:54] arghh2d2, this is the US. We are all heavily medicated [02:54] amdsempron: what does sudo swapon -a say?

[02:55] jonathan__, sudo service gdm restart [02:55] sync3times: yeah, god forbid you self medicate with a natural remedie in the U.S though [02:55] meowbuntu; but it seems WinFF keeps insisting (unknown encoder libmp3lame) [02:55] geitenneuker: please stop [02:55] ok [02:56] arghh2d2, natural? what is that [02:56] sdb is not mounted [02:56] hello [02:56] heh swaphuman?

[02:58] would there be a way to edit the GRUB menu.lst when it drops me into busybox? [02:58] no... it's actually pretty old sync3times [02:58] it has no text editor does it [02:59] jonathan__ what model again? [02:59] sync3times: and I've had it working before... [02:59] Guest49270: cat text too append to >> /etc/network/interfaces [02:59] well the swapfile should at least equal to the installed ram [02:59] geforce 7150 I'm pretty sure [02:59] KiDD420 is nano avalible from busybox [02:59] amdsempron: are you trying to have an encrypted swap file? [02:59] i dont know [02:59] i dont recall seeing it listed in help [02:59] I set up a 256mb swap at install for max space to store iso files on this machine (and also games) and no it is not an encrypted swap. [02:59] jonathan__, sigh, sorry. I tried my best. [02:59] Guest49270: you can just as easily open a text editor to do edit the file [02:59] alright, cya [02:59] yea i did that but it gives me a "bash: /etc/network/interfaces: Permission denied" error even when i used sudo to do it. [02:59] i love this server :D [02:59] ok use this command [03:00] Guest49270: you have to be root [03:00] amdsempron: did you ever check a box "Require password to log in and to decrypt my home directory"?

[03:01] wouldn't "sudo echo "# Bridged network interface" >> /etc/network/interfaces" be the same thing as using sudosu? [03:01] KiDD420, you can have a grub boot password [03:01] Guest49270: probly [03:01] yes i ran it as root, usinf the the command sudo filename.sh [03:01] thanks meowbuntu, i hope i can do it w/ my computer tho cuz it's 165mb lol [03:01] i dont want a password..... I just want to add the rootdelay=10 [03:02] so it can load the usb modules before it tries mounting it as root [03:02] KiDD420, why cant you add it in menu.lst [03:03] is there another way i can do it? [03:03] how do i grep for something? [03:03] Bohemian, What do you mean? [03:03] "grep processid" isn't working? [03:03] and grep | 4602 doesn't work [03:03] wow, grub changed [03:03] meowbuntu, doesnt have it i dont think [03:03] how do I install oss4 on ubuntu 9.10 ??? [03:03] Bohemian: try pgrep [03:03] Bohemian, grep filters the output of a command. If you type ps -e it will give some output to filter. If you ps -e | grep k It will show the lines from ps -e than have a k in them [03:04] sync3times: i dont have permissions on it from the live session..... [03:04] Bohemian, ps -e | grep ko will show all the lines from ps -e that have a ko in them [03:04] Bohemian, That is how grep works (basically) now what is the bigger picture of what you're trying to do [03:04] meowbuntu; would you be able to tell me how im to use ffmpeg? [03:05] KiDD420, can you edit grub in the grub environment. with "e" [03:05] i dunno.... never heard of or tried that [03:05] how do i do that [03:05] KiDD420, you can edit the boot lines in some grubs [03:06] thanks [03:06] well its the grub 9.04 instaled [03:06] nice netsplit [03:06] KiDD420, which distro are you on? (and what are you trying to do? just got here ..) [03:07] edbian: i'm trying to find a process id that caused my mailserver to not work properly [03:07] im on 9.04 [03:07] trying to edit grub's menu.lst [03:07] KiDD420, when you are at the grub menu,, can you hit "e" for edit or anything? [03:07] I'm using the lucid alpha. Mostly everything works great, but when use the volume control keys on my laptop, it controls the pulse audio volume, not the master track volume, what happens is once I get a little below halfway pulseaudio brings the master track down to 0 so I don't hear anything. I resolved this same issue in Karmic by editing some file, I just can't remember which one. Does anybody know what file I need to edit to fi [03:07] x this? === brett_ is now known as Guest56075 [03:08] it just says hit esc for boot menu [03:08] KiDD420, good, hit esc [03:09] KiDD420, highlight the line that boots into linux and hit "e" [03:09] ill try hitting ee [03:09] how do I change the permissions on a external hard drive?

I don't think I need to go to Windows again [03:10] ill be back [03:10] edbian, and how do i do that? [03:10] jazzyboy, yay! welcome :) [03:10] ShazbotMcMurder, do you want to learn the GUI way or the CLI way? [03:10] edbian i'm trying to find out what made my mailserver not work by greping the process id's [03:10] edbian: Thanks! [03:10] edbian, which ever way is faster. [03:10] Bohemian, I can help you in a minute after I hav ShazbotMcMurder [03:11] ShazbotMcMurder, "gksudo nautilus" open a nautilus window as root [03:11] Are there any fun MMO style games for ubuntu like windows has? [03:11] Bohemian, I just finished setting up a mail server :) [03:11] it's terrible [03:11] Bohemian, What isn't working about it? What mail server are you using? Are you following a fuide? === john is now known as RocketLauncher [03:11] Alright, I've been trying to be patient but whats with all the missing/renamed packages? How do I install git? Everytime I try it says its trying to install gnuit [03:11] guide* [03:11] chancer-lz [03:12] postfix/dovecot - it dismissed an incoming mail. i think because of the letter size (3mb) [03:12] theshadow: git-core [03:12] edbian, okay... [03:12] theshadow: sudo aptitude install gitcore [03:12] I would like to thank the Ubuntu team and everyone that has contributed to the open source movement. I have just switched from Windows for good. I especially appreciate all the free (as in speech) scientific software available. [03:12] what's the best way to manually backport a package (in this case, virtualbox-ose) from a newer version of Ubuntu to an older one? [03:12] ShazbotMcMurder, Is that not helping? go to the folder using that nautilus window and change the permissions the same way. It should help now [03:13] :| [03:13] brb [03:13] theshadow: and that's not a rename. having the git package install anything other than gnuit would involve renaming a package [03:13] theshadow: as gnuit is older than git-the-vcs [03:13] Bohemian, I did the same exact thing. What did it dismiss? Be more specific === cpg is now known as cpg|biab [03:13] edbian: http://pastebin.com/d41fdd1cc [03:13] Bohemian, I'm looking [03:14] I have Ubuntu 8.04 on a 64-bit processor. When I download Flash from Adobe's website i get the error Wrong architecture i386 [03:14] jazzyboy: install flashplugin-nonfree [03:14] when i use the flashplugin-nonfree i can see flash but not hulu videos [03:14] jazzyboy: itll pull in the 32bit libraries that flash depensd on with it [03:14] jazzyboy, try downloading the one appropiate for your architecutre [03:14] hulu is flash... [03:14] maco: I did that but it doesnt work with Hulu [03:14] jazzyboy, yep. 64 bit is not i386, it's amd64 [03:15] I wonder, if I got spam from my friends which are in my friend list in IM, does that means their passwords is stolen or mine? I've told my friends to change their password and the spam still keep coming. :( [03:15] Bohemian, What is this the output from? What are you trying to do? What is your domain name? [03:16] Youtube and other Flash videos work with flashplugin-nonfree but Hulu is not working. Any ideas? [03:16] edbian: my domain name is christhelinuxguy.com - someone sent me an email but that came up [03:16] jazzyboy, i believe opening terminal and typing uname -a will show you the appropriate architecture [03:17] GenDeath: 2.6.24-24-generic #1 SMP Tue Jul 7 19:10:36 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux === Sean is now known as Guest43772 [03:18] hi, does anybody here is able to help me out with some GTK/C++ stuff? people at GTK channels doesnt even answer.. ive been posting stuff there for hours.. [03:18] B4RR13N705: I might, if it is simple [03:19] ChogyDan, i have an iconview widget full of stuff. Now i want to add callbacks (for examle, if i click X icon execute Y function). How can i do this? (C++) === jakub is now known as Guest20239 [03:20] Bohemian, That came up from where? Is it in a log? Is it on your server? [03:21] edbian: it's from my server postfix log /var/log/mail.info [03:21] Hola [03:21] B4RR13N705: well, I thought that it is as simple as adding an onclick listener. It may be a listener on one of the parent objects. That's all I know... [03:21] What do you do with a .so file? [03:21] Hablan espanol? [03:21] i would appreciate any help or information that you could bring.. [03:21] Bohemian, Well first thing: on my mail server my rip and my lip are 127.0.0.1 [03:21] Aly-, si, pero ingles es el idioma oficial ;) [03:22] Bohemian, Did you follow a guide to get this up and running? [03:22] no, i configured it myself and has worked for months [03:22] as far as i know [03:22] who are you? [03:22] i guess larger messages it doesn't like [03:23] Bohemian, It just finally has an error with only this message? [03:23] yup [03:23] Stupid question: Whenever I create a file in Nautilus, there's something odd happening. I open it, edit it with gedit, save it, but then a second one seems to appear with a ~ at the end. [03:23] Bohemian, what does /var/log/mail.log look like? Any more info? [03:23] Bohemian, Are you chris prillo? [03:24] helloooo [03:24] Slix, A temporary file that gedit is creating [03:24] Slix, those are autobackup files created by gedit [03:24] does anyone here use gnome-rdp? is there a way to get it to capture the mouse? [03:24] Hola [03:24] AYuda [03:24] hola [03:24] no [03:24] Ahh [03:24] Me puedes ayudar? [03:24] so hw ru guyz [03:24] Slix, vim does the same thing (at least on Windows, never noticed it on linux) [03:24] hi [03:24] Bohemian, Which question are you answering? [03:24] edbian: it's very big, but that's the only relevant msgs [03:24] !es | Aly- [03:24] Aly-, cual es tu problem? [03:24] Aly-: 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. [03:24] no i'm not chris prillo [03:24] Well it's sort of getting in the way in git. [03:24] i need some help [03:24] Maybe I'll just add a *~ to the ignore file. [03:25] B4RR13N705: it looks like it is activate-cursor-item. I suggest installing GLADE just to get a better idea of some of the single names. Also, when you click the devhelper icon, it will give a page:item type search. Just delete `page:` [03:25] Slix: you can change it in the gedit prefs [03:25] Ahh [03:25] Bohemian, Mmm, odd, it doesn't say what the problem is. I don't think I can help! You're probably right. Find out by sending emails with progressively larger attachements [03:25] Bohemian, 3mb really isn't that big [03:25] I know on windows xp when someone sets a user password. you can use a ubuntu livecd to mount and view the files on the system. can you still do this with vista/windows7 ? [03:25] But backups are good :P [03:25] Slix, http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2008/01/10/dont-let-gnomes-text-editor-leave-hidden-files/ [03:25] lwizardl: yes of course [03:25] yeah and my limit size is 0 so unlimited [03:26] Alright, thanks a ton! [03:26] i for you [03:26] Bohemian, Is there a relay or smarthost? [03:26] no [03:26] I was wondering if I could get some help setting up my webcam in Xubuntu 9.10 [03:26] Bohemian, Maybe the sending server connected and told your server about the message but then aborted at the last minute because of the size? [03:26] ChogyDan, yes, the problem is how to add callbacks for the icons inside the widget, i mean, if i double click on X icon, rn Y function... i dont know how to add callbacks to stuff INSIDE a widget.. [03:26] blakkheim, sweet thanks because i use that to repair peoples systems that want copies of their files but forget to give me their password. I always tell them to disable the passwords before giving me the pc but 90% of them don't listen [03:26] Bohemian, I'm just guessing now [03:26] greetings. any of you fine fellows know how to change the font size in nautilus (the zoom option either makes it too big or too small for my liking) [03:27] The problem is that amsn doesn't want to see my webcam, and only grabs my TV Tuner Card. [03:27] B4RR13N705: yeah, I don't know [03:27] How do you run a shell script? === chobbs is now known as chobbs_afk [03:27] i dunno, i'm asking in postfix. thanks for the help, edbian [03:27] Tiders, "sh scriptname" [03:27] postfix is a PITA [03:27] ChogyDan, and i couldn't find anything on google.. :( [03:27] Bohemian, good luck! [03:28] ZykoticK9, Its saying "Expecting fi" [03:28] ZykoticK9, graal4setup: 32: Syntax error: "(" unexpected (expecting "fi") [03:28] Tiders, that means you have an "if" but no "fi" closing it -- problem in your script [03:28] guys tell me im not loosing my mind...

[03:29] about 90 GB [03:29] maby a little less [03:29] Tiders, well the writers of the script made an error [03:30] Tiders, pastebin the script :) [03:30] alright its 83.84 GB [03:30] thx [03:30] ZykoticK9, Ive installed it before [03:30] brando753, according to that picture your root is 32 GB (and is 100% full) and your home is 29GB and is also almost full [03:30] brando753: df -h [03:30] let me show you gparts [03:30] brando753, I suspect your real root partition is not mounted [03:31] brando753: I saw the same thing that edbian just mentioned.

[03:33] goose "cat /path/to/files/* | grep ok i think i got it [03:33] thanks [03:33] Hi [03:34] anybody? [03:34] Another stupid question: I'm having trouble with the terminal. When I get to the end of a man page, how do I get back? xD [03:34] edbian: that doesn't do recursive, or show me the source file :/ === Usuario is now known as Carlis3 [03:34] Slix Ctrl+X [03:34] Slix, press Q [03:34] brando753: Files that you don't have read permissions to will not be included in the disk usage in tools looking at individual files [03:34] Aha [03:34] Q worked.

[03:34] rww: so for example: grep -r "This is a line" [03:34] np ^_^ [03:34] brando753: it looks like your /home is also filled with 90G. Did you try hitting "Scan Home" in the disk usage analyzer? [03:35] goose: `grep -r "pattern to search for" path/to/files` [03:35] greetings. any of you fine fellows know how to change the font size in nautilus (the zoom option either makes it too big or too small for my liking) [03:35] yes that was the first pic [03:35] ChogyDan: yes that was the first pic [03:35] beautiful. thank you rww. === forgottenlol is now known as forgotten === forgotten is now known as forgottenlol [03:35] http://img511.imageshack.us/img511/5139/screenshotdiskusageanal.png === bbbbooobbbb is now known as lostcoast [03:36] hi [03:36] brando753: are you sure it stays the same?

[03:38] The system don´t go to the desktop [03:39] Carlis3, How far does it go? [03:39] KiDD420: my guess is that your initramfs is failing to find root, although it should, is the root= on your boot line pointing on the correct place? [03:39] KiDD420: Can you pastebin your grub.cfg? And by "freaks out" I assume you mean gives an error and drops to a busybox shell? [03:39] yes [03:39] where do I find the grub.cfg?

[03:46] Jordan_U: http://pastebin.com/meede822 http://pastebin.com/m2020721b [03:46] how do I do that? [03:46] howdeep: drive fail? [03:46] RogerK: One of the sections there should be how to install from linux [03:46] can the empty partition be booted? [03:47] Bird|desktop, it's possible, it's one of those external usb drives. it worked a few days ago. i'll double check it on another machine but i doubt that is it [03:47] LinuX2half, If there is no OS on a partition it cannot be booted (there is nothing to boot!) [03:47] KiDD420: update-initramfs/mkinitramfs/you could hack it by hand if you had to... [03:47] who can help me ?? [03:47] is that a command? [03:47] i would be willing to do it by hand [03:47] oh I see [03:48] KiDD420: update-initramfs and mkinitramfs are both commands [03:48] ahh found it thanks a bunch Jordan_U [03:48] Sorhan you need to used the passworded one windozes doesn't let non-pwds in are you sure the account is allowed to be acsesd remotely [03:48] LinuX2half, :) yeah...

[03:49] does anyone know where the system stores the root password for mysql-server upon install? [03:49] how do you open .txt files? [03:49] LinuX2half, You have another instance of a package manager running somewhere [03:49] brando753: That confirms it, Disk Usage Analizer looks at all of the sizes of all of the files in a given directory to get the size of that directory, if it can't read the file ( i.e. it doesn't have permission to ) then it can't find that file's size [03:49] dr_bungle, It stores it in the mysql database itself - I linked you to instructions to recover [03:49] anybody have any other ideas?

[04:16] not sure the radio is connected by usb but cant get the psk 31 program to see it [04:16] ChogyDan: I don't know much about gstreamer or how it's used in ubuntu. Is every app going to use it? Is there some alternate system I could use, to rule out a problem at a lower level (i.e. the kernel module?) [04:17] W9GDV, try #ubuntu-offtopic [04:17] chreekat: I don't know, but gstreamer is what allot of gnome apps like cheese will use [04:17] W9GDV, also try #hardware [04:17] ChogyDan: k thanks, I'll look around [04:17] thanks === Ricky_ is now known as Guest91234 [04:20] if i buy a professional font, do i buy the mac os x otf or the windows otf?

Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". No fonts in MPlayer? see !MPlayer [04:21] who buys fonts [04:21] nulled, how will i use Hoefler Text font then? [04:21] mom_→ probably the windows one - what, they don't give you both if you pay for it? [04:22] will the ubuntu netbook remix work on any pc or just netbooks? [04:22] Ahmuck: any [04:22] Random832, i just dont know how i will tell which one is right . . . [04:23] thanx maco [04:23] mom_→ well what's the actual difference between them? is one ps and the other truetype? [04:23] Random832, but are otf [04:23] right [04:23] the ubuntu remix, is a low hardware solution? [04:23] otf can contain postscript or truetype [04:23] Random832, otf [04:23] does it not say which they are? [04:23] I'll see guys tomorrow... [04:23] hello could anyone help me i am running xubuntu on a toshiba sattelite an i am wanting to hook my tv up with the svideo but it is not working anyone know how to fix this [04:24] Wait until next time actually...? [04:24] Random832, do i want postscript or truetype? [04:24] mom_: the otf files should be the same, I bet the only difference is the archive format they let you download them in (zip/sit) [04:24] Ahmuck, you can probably install remix on any pc but you would lose your mind LoL [04:24] maco, do you know, the netbook remix will work on lower end pc's ? 1ghz, 512 mb ram? [04:24] http://www.google.com/search?q=otf+linux&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=com.ubuntu:en-US:official&client=firefox-a [04:24] mezquitale: how so? [04:24] Ahmuck: should be enough [04:25] probably what trism said really though [04:25] does anyone know if i have to download specific drivers to get the svideo to work on xubuntu [04:25] david__, What happens if you boot the computer up while the TV and only the TV is connected via S-video. [04:26] dafud___ I dont think so... I used an s video link with xubuntu earlier on my TV [04:26] the tv screen stays black an says no signal [04:26] david__, During the whole boot process? [04:26] david__ the only thing that I needed to get it to work was to plug in the cable before I booted up the computer [04:26] trism, well i downloaded this font before and windows and mac didnt work and someone made a linux version http://www.gringod.com/2006/11/01/new-version-of-monaco-font/ [04:26] yeah i had it connected when i booted [04:26] do you think that rebooting will help [04:27] Ahmuck, netbook is meant for netbooks that dont have the hardware of a desktop---like for video cards for example, you will have issues with compiz, it's easy to configure your machine to work like ubuntu remix flavor, youll have problems doing the opposite: http://helpforlinux.blogspot.com/2009/04/try-ubuntu-netbook-remix-on-desktop.html [04:27] david__ Well, have you set the 'Source' of your TV to PC [04:27] i have set it to svideo it worked when i was running windows [04:27] david__, All I know is that the system probes the hardware during the boot process. If the TV isn't plugged in it won't be seen and thus, not used. [04:27] david__ On our TV, for example, we have different Sources : AV2 (for DVD/VCR player) and Cable (for Cable obviously) and PC (for s video hook ups) [04:27] david__ I see [04:28] david__, I've done it with my TV and computer before. I know it works ;) It's just getting it to work that's the tough part. Of course, I did it with VGA [04:28] hello i have a question [04:28] ohhhhhh, Hi :) what is it? [04:28] david__ I can tell you that I didn't have to install drivers... which version of Xubuntu are you running? [04:29] Im recently using ubuntu 9.10 [04:29] vga is not svideo though is it [04:29] !ask| ohhhhhh [04:29] ohhhhhh: 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. :-) [04:29] ohhhhhh, good choice [04:29] and the "ubuntu software center" is default [04:29] and has no star ratings? [04:29] what happened? [04:29] the old add/remove had star ratings and I could sort by ratings/reviews [04:29] david__, can't argue that [04:29] david__ did you try checking forums? [04:29] i dont have the vga cables so that makes it a little hard [04:30] lol === Nightw0lf is now known as Nightwolf [04:30] david__, It should work with s-video. the cable connection really is trivial in the matter. [04:30] During the installation, when you pick a locale (C, en_US.UTF-8, etc.), where is that written? Somewhere in /etc? [04:30] any way to revert? [04:30] if I wanted to install pidgin, would just typing 'sudo apt-get install pidgin' in the terminal work? [04:30] that i understand i had the cable hooked up upon booting so there for i dont know what to do know lol [04:31] i will try rebooting an see if that will help [04:31] I would really like the add/remove with star ratings back [04:31] david__, Try googling "ubuntu and s-video" [04:31] david_, And the like [04:32] !troll [04:32] trolling / trollish behaviour is behaviour that is considered annoying by other channel users, this includes going offtopic, asking the same question time and again getting answered and not acknowledging the answer, and these are not the only ways behaviour can be considered trolling, please see /msg ubottu guidelines - if this applies to you, you may find yourself outside the channel [04:32] ? [04:32] are you saying im trolling? im not, its a legit question that I am sure someone has the answer to [04:33] bleepbloop, it should. I'm not sure if that's the package name [04:33] mezquitale: so netbook remix, as it appears and looks is what i'd get. simple menus, simple interface, simple desktop? [04:33] hi folks, i can't get ubuntu booted. it can't seem to find my root device, which is actually a lvm volume inside of mdadm raid. i am at a loss as to how to troubleshoot. could someone help me? [04:33] david__ here is a forum for you, dunno if it will help http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/ubuntu-63/s-video-on-my-xubuntu-box-511654/ [04:33] mezquitale - this - http://zeirus.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/ubuntunetbookremix_3.jpg - correct ? [04:33] Ahmuck, if that is what you want on your desktop, yes, it is possible to configure your desktop like netbook remix, just follow the guide [04:34] Nevermind I found the answer [04:34] mezquitale: my goal is to have a nice turn key solutions for older desktops that don't overlaod them, and are easy for seniors to use [04:34] gnome-app-install [04:34] mezquitale: this appears it would do the trick [04:34] is there a way to install a virtual machine in linux to run windows? i know there is in windows to run linux [04:34] w00t3r: VirtualBox [04:34] w00t3r: i use sun's virtualbox [04:34] Ahmuck, No computers are considered easy to use by seniors [04:35] thx [04:35] Ahmuck, go ahead and have fun, just dont hurt yourself [04:35] w00t3r, Sure is! Check out virtualbox [04:35] edbian: depends, my mother is 70 and uses a full ubuntu desktop [04:35] thanks everyone for your non helpfulness [04:35] Ahmuck, I stand corrected [04:35] well, ok, not quite that old [04:35] Ahmuck, if you have an older machine I highly suggest you use xubuntu [04:35] xubuntu is to heavy [04:36] Ahmuck: if you have an older machine, i highly suggest not using xubuntu as it is still bloated [04:36] if netbook remix is heavier than xubuntu i need to keep looking [04:36] yes, xubuntu is very bloated [04:36] moonos ldxe worked nicely. i understand that ldxe is working towards a lubuntu version [04:36] blakkheim, ok if you dont recommend xubuntu then what do you recommend? dsl? [04:37] Ahmuck, I think it's lxde not ldxe [04:37] mezquitale: if he prefers a *buntu, then an ubuntu minimal iso will be good. === chobbs is now known as chobbs_ [04:37] i was looking at ubuntu remix, because of easy peasy (having all the codecs, etc.) === chobbs_ is now known as chobbs [04:37] blakkheim: would ubuntu minimal have abiword, gnumeric, firefox, etc.? [04:38] Ahmuck: you can install all of them [04:38] blakkheim, mezquitale: xfce is considered to be less bloated than gnome which is in turn less bloated than KDE [04:38] Ahmuck: ubuntu minimal has next to nothing, but they're all available in the repositories. [04:38] !mini | Ahmuck [04:38] Ahmuck: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [04:38] i've got 30 pcs about 1ghz and 512mb ram i don't want to take to the dump [04:38] in KDE, what keyboard shortcut brings up the "Start" menu? [04:38] Ahmuck, Make a cluster! I'll take some ;) [04:38] Ahmuck: Install Ubuntu, ship 'em off to a local school :) [04:38] neither do i want to spend time with them. [04:38] Ahmuck: setup some servers or a compiling "cluster" [04:38] is there a channel for LUKS or cryptsetup? [04:39] schools get free microsoft computers === Ricky_ is now known as Guest47541 [04:39] Ahmuck, I don't know what schools you go to... [04:39] having a small mem and proc footprint to put on them and a remix interface, i could give them away [04:39] a recent quad-core processor would probably be faster than a cluster of 30 1ghz PCs [04:39] emes: correct [04:39] and less power [04:39] Mac Question for anyone :: I installed Linux on my Mac, but now I want to reinstall Mac OS X, or possibly dual boot..

You could also use unetbootin [04:40] sulio: you should be able to boot from a vendor apple disc [04:40] Try using an external CD drive [04:40] Or something [04:40] edbian: seriously, our schools got free software for the pc's. microsoft and a local computer company joined togather and donated the software [04:40] Cannot boot from the Mac OS X cds [04:41] I thnk this deserves Linux channel because my computer is formatted in everyway for Linux [04:41] grants paid for the hardware [04:41] Ahmuck, the processors are running @ 1gig? so they should be PIII or better, with 512 megs of ram? xubuntu will do wonders on it [04:41] Ahmuck, I see [04:41] sulio: Do you have applecare?

[04:41] sulio, The ubuntu OS has nothing to do with what device boots [04:41] Hmm [04:41] well [04:41] sulio, You have to edit the bios to make things boot differently [04:41] Right [04:41] Ahmuck, your next bet would be damn small linux but I haven't tried it though [04:41] its the Mac bios [04:41] macs don't have a BIOS [04:41] which doesnt have a bios [04:42] sulio, ok.... I have no idea then [04:42] sulio: there is a key you press during boot to boot from the CD....I think its the letter C or something [04:42] heh, dsl is not senior friendly imho [04:42] sulio, That letter C things sounds familiar [04:42] ok, well thanks for the info. i'll tuck it away [04:42] RIght urthmover, I do that, but the CD simply ejects [04:42] Ahmuck, you want to the mini distribution, like people have told you about [04:42] any idea why [04:43] Its not mac [04:43] I mean [04:43] it can boot from all Linux LiveCDs [04:43] sulio: do any CDs work? [04:43] but it cannot boot from a Mac OS X discs [04:43] the original ones, too [04:43] maybe they just got scratched or something [04:43] sulio: consider that a sign [04:43] !enter | sulio [04:43] sulio: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!

I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [04:53] edbian: ahhhh, thanks! sorry I'm such a noob [04:54] bleepbloop, We were all noobs at some time ;) [04:54] are there any good applications for ectracting audiocds to mp3 etc [04:55] !info pidgin | bleepbloop [04:55] bleepbloop: pidgin (source: pidgin): graphical multi-protocol instant messaging client for X. In component main, is optional. Version 1:2.6.2-1ubuntu7 (karmic), package size 562 kB, installed size 1784 kB [04:55] hi [04:55] mmm mp3 is not fun at all [04:55] bleepbloop, get him to send a private message with > [04:55] ahhh okay [04:56] !info pidgin > bleepbloop [04:56] I deleted the partitions on an external usb hdd, then left it as unformatted. now when i plug it back in (to format it), it's no longer detected. [04:56] how about flac [04:56] meowbuntu, you can use a lot of different things to do that, but you have to install special packages [04:56] ? [04:56] so i can't use gparted to format it [04:56] i installed kubuntu over karmic (ubuntu 9.10), how do i remove it? [04:56] !puregnome [04:56] If you want to remove all !KDE packages, type « sudo apt-get remove kdelibs4c2 kdelibs5-data && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop » into a !terminal [04:57] thanks again genii [04:57] anybody know where the grub2 splashimages are now located? sudo apt-get install grub2-splashimages doesn't work for me [04:57] windy really such as. it should be default right [04:57] MachinTruc, check on the upper right corner, you should be able to change the hard drive from maybe sda1 to sda2 [04:57] !splash [04:57] To change the Gnome splash screen, use gnome-splashscreen-manager or change the GConf key /apps/gnome-session/options/splash_image using !gconf-editor. [04:58] mezquitale: that's what i mean, it no longer shows up there [04:58] wait so [04:58] MachinTruc, have you tried a live CD? [04:58] how do i check repos for pidgin [04:58] mezquitale: used to show up as sdc until 5 mins ago. now i just have sda and sdb (my two main drives). [04:58] windy sych as [04:58] mezquitale: nope, just ubuntu. [04:59] meowbuntu, I was using rthymbox, I think... it's been a while since I last attempted mp3s with Ubuntu. What are you trying to rip them for? Listening on your comp, iPod, mp3 player...? [04:59] *such === ugliefrog is now known as X-Frog [04:59] yes that stuff. cd ripper i used on linux mint worked like a dreem on that os [04:59] ^ Windy [04:59] MachinTruc, can you list your hard drive using lsusb? [05:00] lsusb [05:00] meowbuntu, I really think that mp3s are a waste of time on ubuntu unless you need them for ipod or mp3 player. What do you need the files for? [05:00] heyyas, any reason why exim wouldn't be sending mail to the root user? [05:01] mezquitale: don't see it. tons of generic "linux foundation root hub" , one mouse, one keyboard [05:01] Synaptic: "totem-xine is a simple media player for the GNOME desktop (transitional package)." From where to where is this transition? [05:01] MachinTruc, also try hitting "refresh devices" in gparted [05:01] mezquitale: did that a long time ago. what's weird, Windows 7 also doesn't detect the drive. [05:01] I need help [05:01] I need to kill gphoto2, AKA PtP [05:01] how can I do this!? [05:02] I *really* need to use my camera as a mass-storage device as it's the only thing here that supports SDHC [05:02] Windy i use mp3 for all my music. cause they are the best format with cross platform and devices ready [05:02] (& I need boot-sector access) [05:03] okay. What version of ubuntu are you running, meowbuntu? [05:03] howdy - I'm having some weird audio issues. My system audio seems to be delayed. Even Turning down the volume has a 3 second lag from when the slider moves, and when the volume actually changes. Watching videos, the audio slowly falls behind the video, and after a few minutes its unwatchable. It does it in VLC, it does it in Boxee, it does it in Firefox through veetle, flash, etc. [05:03] MachinTruc, disconnect the device and then remount your filesystems: "sudo mount -a", then do lsusb, then connect the device, then do lsbusb again and see if there's any difference from the first time you tried lsusb [05:03] anyone? [05:04] ubuntu 9.10 what else [05:04] hi all , can anyone pls check this problem of mine with xx264? http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m5f029fd0 [05:04] paragonc, sounds like an issue with pulseaudio, I would search the forums or launchpad [05:04] lol what else [05:04] !patience | atari2600a [05:04] atari2600a: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. [05:05] mezquitale: that did it! [05:05] mezquitale: pulseaudio is a pretty expansive subject - any direction on that? [05:05] MachinTruc, you can now see your drive in gparted? [05:05] mezquitale: out of curiosity what did we just do? what did remounting the fs do? [05:05] mezquitale: yes I can [05:06] PHAT [05:06] hello [05:06] meowbuntu, try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CDRipping [05:06] how do i get wireless to work on openbox? [05:06] hi all , can anyone pls check this problem of mine with xx264? http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m5f029fd0 [05:06] i have about a 3 second long avi. I would like to make the individual frames a gif file for a website, how can i do that? [05:07] meowbuntu: sounds like RubyRipper might be your best bet [05:07] skrite: i'd use avidemux to remove the unwanted frames, leaving an avi with just your desired video, then use mplayer to convert it to gif. [05:07] MachinTruc, machines get confused every now and then with devices like that, winblows blue screens, or simply fails and you have to reboot, what you basically did is unmounted your file systems, then remounted the file systems in your fstab config file, you had a clean system again without rebooting, then you put in your thumb drive again--this time you didnt confuse linux [05:08] well thanks a lot mezquitale [05:08] no problem [05:08] MachinTruc, did not know mplayer can do that, thanks [05:09] paragon, just go to the forms or launchpad and describe your problem in the search string and use "pulseaudio" [05:10] sound-juicer does not allow me to extract to mp3 how can i do that. do i need a codex for it [05:10] skrite, you want to ask that question in #ubuntustudio when someone is around, try on a weeknight [05:10] Does anybody know where the grub2 splash images are located? The link I have gotten from multiple locations does not work for me. [05:10] mezquitale, will do, thanks [05:13] Windy: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 about half way down that page it talks about grub splash images [05:13] Windy: According to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Splash%20Images%20&%20Theming .."GRUB 2 by default will look for splash images in /boot/grub and /usr/share/images/desktop-base" [05:13] Grub 2 is to confusing bring back easy simple grub. that worked like a dream with no hastels for anyone. or just make grub 2 easy to configur llike grub was [05:13] is there anyone here who could assist me with some troubles im currently having with connecting to the internet with ubuntu 9.10 [05:14] meowbuntu: i dont think either is easier or harder. i think its more of what you've had a lot of practice with [05:15] meowbuntu: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 explains it fairly well. [05:15] Synaptic: "totem-xine is a simple media player for the GNOME desktop (transitional package)." From where to where is this transition? [05:15] meowbuntu, do you have restricted stuff like LAME installed? [05:15] mindfast: "some troubles" is no exact description. [05:16] * Windy dislikes faulty internet networks [05:16] windy no what for [05:16] * what that for [05:17] as in i cant connect to the internet at all [05:17] anyone know how to resume a program suspended with ctrl+z (sleep) [05:17] resumebg: fg? [05:18] fg -bash: fg: current: no such job [05:18] http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/816-0210/6m6nb7m9c?a=view [05:18] kzero: but i see it in htop / top [05:18] meowbuntu, mp3 encoding is a proprietary filetype - someone owns it and won't share - and so it isn't enabled by default. the LAME library (and several other libraries that I got all confused and totally messed up everything with) try to ...um, get around the restriction? I don't really understand the why's myself, but *shrug* that's life. [05:18] resumebg: Yes. [05:19] windy do you know how to do that [05:19] resumebg: You need to find the job_id and use fg [05:20] mindfast: First insert an Ubuntu Live CD and boot. Does this get Internet access for you? [05:20] kzero: how do i find the job_id, its not the same as the pid [05:20] i just installed 9.10 onto a software RAID1 configuration, but grub does not even get to the boot menu [05:20] my system hangs at "grub loading." [05:20] meowbuntu: make sure you have everything you like about your install saved somehow, even if it is just steps written somewhere to follow again on a clean install, and then try this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CDRipping#RubyRipper [05:20] I have two monitors and somehow the settings for the second monitor are not there anymore. How can I regenerate them? [05:20] resumebg: jobs [05:20] any ideas how to get it to boot / diagnose the problem? [05:21] genii: jobs yields nothing but i see it in htop / top [05:21] resumebg: zombified? [05:21] genii: no, accessing after re-sshing [05:22] have you tried using PID? [05:22] kzero: yes [05:22] hmmm [05:23] if it's the only job try fg %0 [05:23] im not sure what you mean? [05:24] kzero: no such job, but thanks for the suggestion [05:24] i have the cd in. but boot it how? [05:25] np....my sysadmin skills are really sucking now adays, gah! [05:25] meowbuntu, I have to go, but I wish you luck! [05:25] mindfast: Switch on your computer. [05:25] This Mac has made my sysadmin skills atrophy [05:25] meowbuntu: remember - Google is your friend! [05:26] ok. [05:26] thanks windy [05:27] any user of 9.10, I experience a different behavior (default permissions) of external usb HD auto-mounted in /media/ from 9.04, do you confirm? [05:28] and? [05:29] is the information on the Palimpsest disk utility accurate? It says that I have 2200 bad sectors and I should replace the drive... [05:29] what is the change? it used to be root for ext4 formatted devices, now it's the user account [05:29] sound-juicer does not allow me to extract to mp3 how can i do that. do i need a codex for it [05:29] but it says also that it passed self assessment [05:29] liblame0 cant be installed like the tutoral says y http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-957.html [05:29] ¾Æ ¹è°íÆÄ [05:29] liblame0 is not in synaptic === pipegeek1 is now known as pipegeek [05:30] !palimpsest [05:30] someone confirms? Can I find a list of changes 9.04 > 9.10? === pipegeek1 is now known as pipegeek [05:31] !notes | nomnex [05:31] nomnex: Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) release notes can be found here: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/910 [05:31] nomnex: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes [05:32] thanks resumebg/bastid_raZor I take a look === jon is now known as Guest10269 [05:35] Voice and video chat with google and yahoo contact possible in Pidgin 2.6.4 in Karmic? [05:35] I have Ubuntu 9.10 installed. everything seemed to install fine. Only problem is i cannot connect to the internet. Ive tried 2 different network cards. neither seemed to work? [05:35] mindfast: If you are talking to me, please prepend your messages to me with my nick 'bullgard'. [05:36] Have you got now Internet access? [05:36] mindfast: you can also try wicd, that might fix it [05:36] mindfast: Have you got now Internet access? [05:36] mindfast: are you use connection that required Username and password? [05:37] nothing on the release not page of a default permission change on USB ext4 formatted HD. Need some feedback. Anyone with a USB HD formatted ext4 on 9.10, is there a permission change from ROOT (as it used to be) to the default logged user account? thanks [05:37] everyone,Voice and video chat with google and yahoo contact possible in Pidgin 2.6.4 in Karmic? [05:37] Synaptic: "totem-xine is a simple media player for the GNOME desktop (transitional package)." From where to where is this transition? [05:37] no username/pw for connection [05:38] yes to access [05:38] with regards to samba and AD: klist and kinit username works..but when i try to join machine to domain i get an error: KDC has no support for encryption type [05:38] mindfast: ok try this, run 'sudo pppoeconf, in terminal, give your details and it should connect! [05:39] cause I had the same problem in Karmic 1 week ago [05:39] I solved it this way [05:39] had to restart system will try taht [05:40] Xfact: he doesn't have pppoe if he needs no username and password usually [05:41] anyone have any idea why GRUB would hang after displaying "GRUB loading." and nothing else? [05:41] !wicd | mindfast [05:42] resumebg: first time it need username and password to set connection and after that no username and password needed, maybe he doesn't know that or maybe he doesn't have pppoe...I just suggest that i know :) [05:42] i dont have a user name or pw.... it should be straight access [05:43] gonzojive, do you have an intel chipset? [05:43] nomnex: AMD64 [05:43] mindfast, try another network manager, such as wicd (wicd.sourceforge.net) [05:43] hello? [05:43] anyone here? [05:44] vecken: go ahead and ask your question [05:44] ok, i have a little bit of experience with linux, i went to resize some partitions with g-parted and messed up the boot sector [05:44] i try to rebuild grub and i get error 15: file not found [05:45] i looked online and did not find my specific problem [05:45] only how to rebuidl grub [05:45] rebuild* [05:45] vecken: are you using grub2 or grub? [05:45] i am unsure, whichever came with ubuntu 9.10 [05:45] vecken: for future reference, don't resize windows operating system ntfs partitions, it can damage the windows bootloader [05:46] vecken: lucky for you its grub2, and theres an easy way to reconfigure [05:46] i did not resize the windows one, only the EXT4 partition to make room for windows 7 and slax [05:47] what are the steps/link to re-install grub2? [05:47] anyone with default permissions on /media/usb HD, if they have change to the logged user account vs (root), there is no need to format external device as fat32, but I can't be positive about the change, I am still on 9.04 [05:47] vecken: im searching for the command, forgot it currently, but there is a rescan command for grub2 to detect the OS'es [05:47] ok, this is on a netbook so i have the ubuntu ISO on a flash drive, i also have a 9.04 live CD, which should i use? [05:47] !grub2 | vecken [05:47] vecken: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [05:48] vecken: try this: sudo update-grub [05:48] how do i uninstall the network-manager. It says i cannot install wicd because of conflicts. [05:48] !grub2 [05:48] vecken, did you upgrade or fresh install 9.10? [05:48] mindfast: sudo apt-get remove network-manager && sudo apt-get install wicd [05:48] ok, one moment, need to restart the netbook with the USB (9.10) [05:49] ps. this is why i love the linux community [05:49] I Just did sudo apt-get upgrade and my bm43 restricted driver was removed. I can't even get it back. [05:49] vecken, which is why you're making room for Win7 - makes sense ;) [05:49] gonzojive, I had the similar problem with an old intel chipset, I don't know about ADM64 [05:50] how do i enter the sudo pw? when i try it enters nothing [05:50] i use windows 7 for school, i only keep XP on a 20gb partition for compatibility testing [05:50] RocketLauncher: try finding and downloading the bm43 *.deb file to install locally with sudo dpkg --install *.deb [05:50] ubuntu is my primary [05:51] RocketLauncher: is bm43 for the processor or wireless? [05:51] resumebg, wireless [05:51] resumebg, i think it was bm43, i'm not sure. it's for my wmp54gs [05:52] grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for / [05:52] do i need to mount it? [05:52] I've concluded using Ubuntu to host a DHCP server is near impossible for a noob. (me) [05:52] to /mnt? [05:52] how do i resume all users processes after a reboot, or is that something that can be setup by the user? [05:53] i accidentally deleted my home folder contents(including the hidden files)..ubuntu is not giving me a new configuration and is just showing the wallpaper when i log on...any help? [05:53] 1281 connected and no answer for such simple questions: what's your default permissions on a USB HD auto-monted on media 1) root 2) logged user account? [05:53] RocketLauncher: using the 24 version of firmware instead of bm43 is more stable for the wmp54gs [05:53] resumebg, where can i get this [05:53] vecken: sorry, never came across that error, sounds like / shouldn't be a device, just in the /dev s are the device [05:53] finemann, thought about creating a new user to test? [05:53] jerico_, you should pick something easier to learn to start. DNS server is hard [05:54] hmm [05:54] RocketLauncher: I checked and packages.ubuntu.com doesn't have it for ubuntu, try getting it from openwrt.com maybe for the router [05:54] resumebg now what [05:54] ZykoticK9: i am on a network..only admins can do that [05:54] i have it installed [05:54] ill try mounting it, and the wiki does not seem to be specific to my problem [05:54] jerico_: Have you read the Ubuntu Server Guide? It has a chapter on setting up dhcp https://help.ubuntu.com/9.10/serverguide/C/ [05:54] any way i can get a new config? [05:55] mindfast: ok, now try going to Applications --> Internet --> Wicd Manager [05:56] Morning all you people who are smarter than I am. [05:56] im going to try something crazy, install windows 7, let that boot manager take over, THEN install grub === ubuntu is now known as Delay [05:56] KithKannan, don't give us too much credit [05:56] installed ubuntu 9.10. no sound. anyone had similiar issues and found a fix [05:56] vecken: grub2 should be able to be installed at any time and refreshed with that command after OS installations [05:56] please? [05:56] thats what i am going to try [05:57] geirha: Thanks for the link. Yeah I've read it. I think my network card just isn't being detected or something. My /etc/network/interfaces file only had eth0 [05:57] hi folks [05:57] if i botch this up, i wont lose anything, its all backed up already [05:57] still no connection [05:57] vecken: wise man :) [05:57] I have a question about using SSH to log into my home computer from the internet. I can do it when I'm behind my own router but don't know how to adress it so I can logon from outside. I was wondering if you knew how or could point me in the right direction. [05:57] i need help to restore grub2, i'm now booting from live cd and i follow the instruction from http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/how-to-recover-grub2-linux.html but i get lost here. please help. thanks [05:57] geirha: eth0 is being used for my DSL so I wanted to use eth1 for DHCP [05:57] edbian if you can help me fix my problem, you're smarter than me AND the guru who convinced me to switch to ubuntu [05:57] jerico_: what does /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules have? [05:57] jerico_: ''ifconfig'' only lists lo and eth0 ? [05:57] This is it! [05:58] er, or that [05:58] gerzel, I can help alot. First go to "myipaddress.com" or google "my ip address" [05:58] Need sound help for 9.10 if anyone can. [05:58] I have a problem with Stellarium. I installed the latest version and get this "stellarium: error while loading shared libraries: libQtOpenGL.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" when trying to run the program. I have tryed to find a deb package for qqtopengl but with no luck installing it from the repos. what should I do? [05:58] gerzel, you'll need to open the SSH port on your firewall/router to forward to your internal IP address [05:58] For the last 30 minutes, I forgot I was using Ubuntu and wasn't using Windows. [05:58] :D [05:58] gerzel, That IP address is your public IP. It probably is dynamic if you are doing this from home. [05:58] gerzel: you have to login to the router and open port 22 (or the port SSH is listening on) on the router, or put the computer (its local 192.168.x.x IP) into DMZ mode if your router supports that [05:58] gerzel, That IP address will get you to the router from anywhere in the world over the internet [05:58] windows 7 is not half bad, its the first version of windows that has no major issues [05:58] gerzel, Understand? [05:58] vecken, so far... [05:58] Yes I do thanks [05:59] gerzel, Now you need to port forward on the router. Do you know how to do that? [05:59] geirha: ifconfig lists both [05:59] open port 22, and get my public ip adress [05:59] Need help with sound/video glitching on ubuntu 9.04 [05:59] gerzel, you need to forward port 22 to the IP address on the LAN of your ssh server. yes [05:59] ok, i think i found the specific problem im having on the wiki, thanks guys === cp is now known as Guest40350 [05:59] maco: both NICs are in that file as well [05:59] jerico_: eth0 and eth1? Is eth1 wired or wireless? [06:00] jerico_: then both are being detected [06:00] gerzel, Be aware though that once you have port 22 forwarded random hackers will start attempting to to log into your ssh server with random usernames and passwords [06:00] gerzel, It's a good idea to deny root login and other such security upgrades [06:00] edbian: but openssh-server is quite secure, especially since its bsd-approved [06:01] jerico_: You just need to add a static entry for it in interfaces. https://help.ubuntu.com/9.10/serverguide/C/network-configuration.html [06:01] geirha: yes eth0 and eth1 both are ethernet [06:01] gerzel, what resumebg said is true. It is still a little safer to only allow 1 user name (your user name) to log in. Reduces the probably of those hackers guessing correctly [06:01] Okay, I already added the static but I wasn't sure if that would do it. Thanks for the help. [06:01] so it still wont connect to internet... [06:02] gerzel, Any questions? [06:02] mindfast: over ethernet you say? [06:02] yes [06:03] Anyone know why no sound in 9.10. Alsamixer is installed up to date. nothing stupid like a mute button enabled. [06:03] try going to Applications --> Internet --> Wicd Manager --> Preferences --> check both "Always..." and OK [06:03] how do i get my drivers back after sudo apt-get upgrade removed them? [06:03] DBCOOPA: possibly a mute button. check alsamixer [06:04] ok, I'll just throw this out there. I installed Ubuntu 9.04 and updated my nvidia graphics drivers. My sound works fine when I'm not doing anything interesting (i.e. playing a straight audio file or using Mangler) but if I start playing my game or play an audio file with a visualizer running, the sound gets all glitchy [06:04] Its not a mute button. [06:04] I checked all the usual stuff. [06:05] nothing [06:05] DBCOOPA: I know a workaround (compile alsa from source) [06:05] gets stuck on obtaining ip address... [06:05] DBCOOPA: ahh sorry, I misread you [06:05] If I set a static IP address for eth1 should the line "auto eth1" be in my interfaces file? [06:05] mindfast: try disconnect and try to reconnect at least five times [06:05] jerico_, yes [06:05] ok. [06:05] i'll try to compile. [06:05] mindfast: I get this error sometimes [06:05] anyone have an idea? [06:05] hi [06:06] lwizardl: welcome, feel free to ask your question [06:06] I did sudo apt-get upgrade and my wireless drivers was removed. it's not in restricted devices either. what should I do? [06:07] how do i create removal guides as a layer in gimp? i am trying to create a new layer and add guides so then when I uncheck the layer the guides will disappear, but they are still there when i uncheck the layer [06:07] So if in my interfaces I set a static IP then shouldn't ifconfig reflect that? It isn't listing any IPV4 addresses in my ifconfig output [06:07] RocketLauncher: maybe the manufact. has it on their website (i believe broadcom) [06:07] Do I need to restart my network for it to take effect? [06:07] resumebg, i'll check [06:08] jerico_: Yes, or just take up/down the specific device with ''sudo ifup eth1''/''sudo ifdown eth1'' [06:08] jerico_, do you have your DNS server addresses recorded somewhere? you'll need them if you've switched to static IP [06:09] i go mad when my ubuntu 9 wont connect to any wireless network all of sudden, inspite of specfying the network key [06:09] ZykoticK9: No, his eth0 is dynamic, it should provide dns. He wants to run a dhcp server on eth1 [06:10] ZykoticK9: eth0 gets DNS server addresses from my ISP. Somehow I need to tell it to give it to eth1 or something. [06:10] any help would be very timely [06:10] strongsoul: you could try another network manager, such as wicd; are you familiar with that? [06:10] resumebg, nope [06:10] should i install or it is default ? [06:10] hi guys, [06:11] when I type ifdown eth1 it says eth1 not configured [06:11] still nobody with my question, I want to know if /etc/hal/... preferences.fdi in the machine running 9.10 has been modified of this is the default setting for 9.10 thansk [06:11] is there a command similar to gksu but without root privileges? [06:11] resumebg, got it, whats the name of current default one ? [06:11] il uninstall it [06:11] strongsoul: http://wicd.sourceforge.net, the current is network-manager or network-manager-gnome i believe [06:11] strongsoul: download the package first (wicd) before removing current [06:12] still no connection [06:12] bahodir: maybe gksudo? [06:12] resumebg, am doing a apt-get install [06:12] is that good ? [06:12] strongsoul: that should work [06:12] jerico_: Expected if you haven't already brought it up with ifup [06:12] Anyone have any idea why my sound would become choppy when my computer is doing anything graphical (running a game, using an audio visualizer, playing a movie, etc) but run fine at all other times? [06:13] is there an irc room for wireless help? [06:13] resumebg, wicd installed, now when i type network-manager it says failed to load some applets [06:13] and quits [06:13] bahodir, FYI gksu = gksudo -- what do you mean, if you don't want root priviledges just run the program directly?!?! [06:13] strongsoul: try the most recent on wicd.sourceforge.net [06:13] I ma running karmic and my sound settings is set to headphones, how to change it to sub woofer or sound box? [06:13] ? [06:13] strongsoul: ubuntu doesn't update fast enough for wicd much of the time (and their own repos) [06:14] geirha: Failed to bring up eth1. [06:14] eth1 outputs Don't seem to be have all the variables for eth1/inet. [06:14] er. ifup eth1 outputs that [06:14] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount/USB - nothing there too about default permissions on /media/ USB volumes [06:14] resumebg, i cant find anything [06:14] im thinking it just wont work for that pc.... tried on 2 different linux systems.... same problem with both.... but when i use xp on the same pc.... it will connect to interent fine..... [06:14] this blows my mind this even happened in the first place [06:15] what the shit is a eth1/inet? [06:15] Synaptic: "totem-xine is a simple media player for the GNOME desktop (transitional package)." From where to where is this transition? [06:15] jerico_: pastebin your interfaces file. ''pastebinit /etc/network/interfaces'' [06:15] resumebg, If you are using Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty), Wicd 1.5.9 is in the universe repository, so a simple sudo apt-get install wicd will do it. [06:15] ???? [06:15] RocketLauncher: thats all i knew about that driver (very little to being) maybe someone else here might know more [06:15] ZykoticK9: thanks for your answer, please take a look at http://superuser.com/questions/94185/gksu-without-root-privileges [06:15] jerico_: pastebinit is not installed by default, so you may need to install it. [06:15] strongsoul: if it doesn't try 1.6 [06:16] strongsoul: if it doesn't try 1.6.2.2 is the latest i believe [06:16] http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m101ca631 [06:16] bahodir, is this a terminal command? or a GUI command? if it's terminal you'll need "run in terminal" for your launcher [06:16] I might have patebin'd that correctly [06:17] ZykoticK9: it's a terminal command, but it brings up a GUI program [06:17] resumebg, apt-get install has installed 1.6.1 in my system [06:17] coke cola is amazing [06:17] 1 min [06:18] bahodir, try something like "gnome-terminal -e /path/to/pida-run.py" [06:18] ZykoticK9: i did what you told (and the guy on superuser), and it opens fine. but is there a way not to show terminal a t all? [06:18] jerico_: Replace the network line with a netmask line. ''netmask 255.255.255.0'' for instance. [06:18] ZykoticK9: ok [06:19] bahodir, if it starts in a terminal (you need a terminal)?!?! [06:19] How can I repair a package? [06:19] jerico_: ''man interfaces'' explains the syntax of that file btw. [06:19] ZykoticK9: ok, thanks [06:19] Hald: can you provide more detail please? [06:20] I'm trying to install libqt4-opengl-ubuntu1.4 but get the message that I have to repair the package. Its not even installed.... [06:20] buy guys [06:20] Hald, have you tried "sudo apt-get -f install" [06:21] can someone help me? I did sudo apt-get upgrade and my wireless drivers were removed. I got them from restricted devices. I can't get them back now either. What do I do? [06:21] geirha: You're awesome. that worked. [06:21] Hald: maybe try sudo dpkg --configure -a [06:21] Does anyone know where the pidgin theme folder located? [06:21] RocketLanucher: for everyone else, you might want to include the exact driver in your question next repeat [06:22] why do I keep seeing 11 packages can be updated.??? [06:22] That even got my DHCP server working! [06:22] jerico_: Great! :) [06:22] Oak, probably either in ~/.purple or /usr/share/purple -- i don't have any themes installed so not sure [06:22] jerico_, See! Not so hard after all [06:22] I updated, and I keep seeing "11 packages can be updated." [06:23] Dravekx: there are system or software updates, to upgrade, try sudo apt-get upgrade in terminal [06:23] ZykoticK9: I just needed some general direction in which to go. I'll check though, thanks [06:23] ZykoticK9: I get this "libqt4-opengl: Beroende av: libqtcore4 (= 4.4.3-0ubuntu1) men 4.4.3-0ubuntu1.4 kommer att installeras Beroende av: libqtgui4 (= 4.4.3-0ubuntu1) men 4.4.3-0ubuntu1.4 kommer att installeras" [06:23] resumebg, i'll do that [06:23] Dravekx, update updates the list of packages available. upgrade actually switches out for the newer versions [06:23] Hald, that's not english - i don't know what it says??? [06:23] ohhh [06:23] Dravekx: or System --> Administration --> Update Manager [06:23] resumebg, ubuntu server via ssh [06:23] does anyone know why i cannot connect to internet with fresh install of ubuntu 9.10 ..... ive tried 2 differernt network cards.. [06:24] Dravekx, X-Forwarding! :) :) [06:24] I have a Linksys WMP54GS. It has the BCM4318 chip. Restricted devices had the driver for me and it worked until I did sudo apt-get upgrade, which removed it. I can't get it back in restricted devices either. Any ideas? [06:24] ZykoticK9: it means libqtcore4 (= 4.4.3-0ubuntu1) but 4.4.3-0ubuntu1.4 will be installed. It makes no sense at all [06:25] Hald: try running "sudo apt-get update"? [06:25] Hald, sorry man that's very application specific I don't know what to suggest for you [06:25] hi [06:25] edbian, anyway to clean up the server of programs and things Im not using? [06:25] Hald: it means your libqt4-opengl is looking for older libraries than what's currently in the repos [06:25] "easy way?" [06:25] Dravekx, use aptitude instead of apt-get it does it for you [06:25] could someone help me with squidguard? i have set it up according to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SquidGuard -- but i would like the proxy to only work for selected ip:s [06:25] maco I see. Thank you. [06:25] Dravekx, sudo apt-get clean and sudo apt-get auto-clean [06:26] hey guys, running karmic right now, just went on an uninstalling spree of stuff thats in a default setup, now i dont have a volume control applet. anyone know what package contains it? [06:26] great! :) [06:26] Dravekx, sudo apt-get autoremove [06:26] sigmab3ta: pulseaudio [06:26] sigmab3ta, did you try and remove pulseaudio? [06:26] pulseaudio is installed [06:26] Dravekx, That will remove programs not being used. Unfortunately the home folder still retains all sorts of settings in those hidden . folders [06:26] last thing i uninstalled was brasero and rhythmbox (im on a netbook so no cd drive and i want to use songbird) [06:26] I solved my problem by downloading the package from http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/i386/libqt4-opengl/download. Thanks for all the help and I will try runing apt-get update next time I run into problems. Thanks folks, you are the best! [06:27] Hald, Thanks for using Ubuntu! :) [06:27] I have a Linksys WMP54GS. It has the BCM4318 chip. Restricted devices had the driver for me and it worked until I did sudo apt-get upgrade, which removed it. I can't get it back in restricted d\evices either. Any ideas? [06:27] Can someone help me out? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WorldofWarcraft Says I can copy files from my Windows install to my Ubuntu install? [06:27] How would I do that? [06:28] RocketLauncher, when you boot your comp do you get choices of what kernel to boot? if so can you try booting an old kernel and see if the driver reappears? just a suggestion. Good luck. [06:29] nope ZykoticK9 [06:29] the volume control applet should show up in Add to Panel... but it doesnt [06:29] Anyone up to help? [06:29] Retr0x share it from windows to copy to Ubuntu Wine [06:30] sigmab3ta: i had to compile pulseaudio to get it working right [06:30] I seem to trying install b43 fwcutter and it doesn't work.

For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [06:39] i did it before [06:39] I have a Linksys WMP54GS. It has the BCM4318 chip.

Restricted devices had the driver for me and it worked until I did sudo apt-get upgrade, which removed it. I can't get it back in restricted d\evices either. Any ideas?

[06:41] resumebg, i connected to my network, it continously says Obtaining ip address [06:42] and not connected [06:42] can somebody help me with this internet connection problem :( [06:42] Try searching for something along those lines in Synaptic. [06:42] [sorta OT] does the crond (ISC cron v4.1) that comes packaged with rhel5.2 support disabling a /etc/cron.d/ job if the file name contains a literal '.'? I know that this works on vixie cron. [06:42] (the one pakcaged with ubuntu) [06:42] nandu, good luck man - i have no idea if you'll be able to get those back. i don't know if there is a mozilla and/or thunderbird specific channel but you might want to check if there is. Good luck man. [06:43] strongsoul: back, is that with version 1.6.2.2? [06:43] I have a Linksys WMP54GS. It has the BCM4318 chip. Restricted devices had the driver for me and it worked until I did sudo apt-get upgrade, which removed it. I can't get it back in restricted d\evices either. Any ideas? [06:43] no, its 1.6.1 [06:43] will that not work ? [06:43] strongsoul: maybe it was a bug in 1.6.1, try 1.6.2.2 [06:43] resumebg, ^ [06:43] ok [06:43] lol [06:43] does anyone know how i can get my internet to work on a fresh install of ubuntu 9.10 .... ive tried with 2 different network cards, and i also tried both network-manager and wicd manager. and still no internet [06:44] strongsoul: i have to go to sleep, any other questions before I head out? [06:44] 1 min please [06:44] strongsoul: ok [06:44] RocketLauncher, try searching for the drivers directly from Synaptic. Sometimes Jockey, the Restricted Hardware app, messes up after an upgrade. I suspect it has to do with it losing the server in which the drivers are at. [06:44] I guyes I have rebuild index of my INBOX Folder & after that all my old mails are gone, any idea how to recover that gone mails? [06:45] ZykoticK9: do u think that KGrubEditor would help ? [06:45] I'm desperate! I suddenly can't connect to the internet with my karmic; the nm-applet says it connected but I can't reach the internet. a sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart outputs that it doesn't know of wlan0! What may have happened, worked fine yesterday! [06:45] Did you make sure you left copies of your e-mail on the POP3 server? [06:45] chuche, i looked. i have b43-fwcutter but i dont know how to use it [06:45] hadi, sorry man I'm not going to help with your issue - i think you'll just break things more using Grub1 tools on a Grub2 install -- good luck man. [06:45] Good morning Everyone.

I'll add that it works in windows [06:48] Home_ are you on wireless? [06:48] Tamnakz: Maybe kismet? [06:48] m0ar: strongsoul: wicd must be compiled for the latest version at http://sourceforge.net/projects/wicd/files/wicd-stable/wicd-1.6.2.2/wicd-1.6.2.2.tar.bz2/download [06:48] i got a problem [06:48] no wired [06:48] I'm trying to Make a USB startup disk but even though the program shows my USB drive it has a ! next to it saying i need to format it - so I click Format but nothing happens... what do I need to format it as to use this tool? I'm comfrotable with using cfdisk i just am not sure what filesystem to use [06:48] fat32? [06:48] resumebg: How is it possible that it's hjappening to more people?

[06:49] how can i do this= [06:49] m0ar: not sure, but there are many people with the same network problem jumping in the channel, wicd is the only alternative to the default network-manager [06:49] ... No reply... So another one: How can i make a backup from this computer Named XXend to XXnew ? So i dont have to install everything ? [06:49] resumebg: I'll try, thank you [06:50] Tamnakz: It does a/b/g not sure about n. [06:50] Yeah... Home_ as per the other comments I suggest you install wicd instead of the default NetworkManager. [06:50] i can only download with aprox 20mb/s but it should be like 60mb/s is anyone here to help? [06:50] i have that one currently installed [06:50] it does more than just b? [06:50] What's the easiest of these VPNs to setup on ubuntu? L2TP, PPTP, IPSec.

[06:51] resumebg, :( nope [06:51] geitenneuker: Could they have been referring to the mtu instead of mss? I've only changed that in the router settings. [06:51] powertool08: you're right, their site clarifies [06:51] not sure what that is? [06:51] !ask [06:51] 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. :-) [06:51] powertool: my mtu us 1500 as usual on the net [06:51] Tamnakz: I know it does g, I've used it to look at my g network.

Thanks geitenneuker [06:51] i almost reach 950mbit over FTP local [06:52] yes [06:52] hamachi just rocks, no weird setup like all other stuff [06:52] !google [06:52] While Google is useful for helpers, many newer users don't have the google-fu yet.

[06:53] There may be other reasons for connection failure. Do you have PPPoE on the modem/router? In other words do you have to put in a password on Windows when you want to connect to the net? [06:53] strongsoul: to compile wicd, in terminal, find the file (cd to), sudo sudo ./setup.py configure && sudo ./setup install [06:53] no i dont [06:54] Home_, you dont know what [06:54] Tamnakz: Sorry, I don't use it much.

So anything you find now will support wifi G. [06:56] Ok RocketLauncher, do you have wicd instead of NetworkManager. If you don't please install it as it seems to be more stable and flexible than the regular NetworkManager. [06:56] meu nome é Rafael, sou do Paraná, Matinhos, Brasil [06:56] It seems like you have the right drivers installed but they are "not in use". [06:57] chuche, ok i'll try [06:57] Anyone know a good CLI Windows Live Messenger client? [06:57] rashed2020, did you tried Mercury Messenger (java client) [06:57] How do i find the name of my Windows XP partition?

[06:58] is there a keyboard shortcut for terminal [06:58] I have XP / Ubuntu dual booted, how do I find the correct name of the WinXP partition? [06:58] rafa_: That doesn't seem like it's a CLI client. [06:58] 2008-05-R1-4 [06:58] Ok, well maybe not automatically but open up the wicd Network Manager. [06:58] arghh2d2: Never heard of it. I'll look it up [06:58] connection: if not you can make one [06:58] and presuming it's dates. . . there's been nearly a dozen updates since then, and the one IS only b [06:58] It should be in the System Tray and you will see it has options. [06:58] Tamnakz: I'm pretty sure that's new enough. === connection is now known as c0nnection [06:58] Go to the icon that says Preferences. [06:59] Retr0X: there's always trial and error, its usually /dev/sda(1-4) or /dev/hda(1-4) or /dev/hdb(1-4), or you can use gparted to view the partitions [06:59] Here you will find three tabs: General Settings, External Programs, and Advanced Settings. [06:59] !grub [06:59] grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. [06:59] rashed2020: tmsnc? :f [06:59] powertool08 we'll soon see! [06:59] is there a keyboard shortcut to terminal anyone? arghh2d2 I want the official shortcut [06:59] hello is installing restricted extras a good idea [06:59] in ubuntu 8.04 is it possible that while shutting down the current state is saved...and on reboot its loaded...for a faster boot ? [06:59] Go to the Advanced Settings tab and select the different drivers they offer. [07:00] arghh2d2: there must be some official shortcut shouldnt there [07:00] c0nnection: define "official"... your not in windows land anymore [07:00] You can try wext, madwifi, and ndiswrapper [07:00] c0nnection: there is alt+ctrl+F1 (then to switch back alt+ctrl+F7) [07:01] c0nnection: there's a hundred different ways to setup shortcuts depending on what window manager you use [07:01] Is there an irc Portuguese Brazilian channel? [07:01] !br|rafa_ [07:01] rafa_: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Obrigado. [07:01] there is. [07:02] arghh2d2: what is there for gnome? [07:02] c0nnection: my method works in all windows managers :) [07:02] opa, valeu. [07:02] resumebg, thank you veyr much for help [07:02] Tamnakz: I just checked the version from a live cd I've used kismet on. It was 2007.10.R1, so you should be fine with the repo version. [07:02] resumebg++ [07:02] resumebg: but I want a windowed terminal [07:02] #ubuntu-br [07:02] i did not get it up even now but i guess am eating too much of your time [07:02] please go sleep [07:02] good night [07:03] sweet freams [07:03] dreams [07:03] strongsoul: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:03] c0nnection: gnome isnt a window manager, it's a destop environment, meaning a collection of config tools, panel and themes etc... metacity is most likely your window manager [07:03] FloodBot2, what ! ! [07:03] strongsoul: no problem, best of luck [07:03] arghh2d2: I've got the default [07:03] c0nnection, System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts [07:03] FloodBot2, i cant help if you are considering my quick typing as flooding ;) [07:03] c0nnection: the last time i used gnome there was something in the preferneces section of the menu [07:04] there is a open terminal window entry there .. === gdb_ is now known as gdb [07:05] powertool08 it installed an application called wireshark from the kismet app, sound familiaar? [07:05] hello [07:05] is Ctrl + T used by anything, anyone? [07:05] Tamnakz: Yep, its a packet capture program so you can visually see the traffic on your network in a detailed manner. [07:05] If fdisk has a partition size limit, and parted doesn't support many filesystems....I'm missing something about how to make big partitions, right? :-) [07:06] c0nnection: It opens a new tab in firefox for me :) [07:06] powertool08 ok, I'm looking for something that'll help me find networks. . . is there a simple way to use this program to do so? [07:06] c0nnection, not by default it seems -- i just made it my Open Terminal shortcut -- thanks :) [07:06] yea it's open new tab in all web browser [07:06] or should I just ignore fdisk telling me my disk is really big... [07:06] powertool08 I open the program, and it seems to be finding no data? [07:07] c0nnection, sorry i really used WindowsKey+T not ctrl [07:07] Tamnakz: wireshark will not help you find networks [07:07] hi guys. are there any guides to setting up a virtual server host out there? and what' sthe best solution i have? Xen? [07:07] Tamnakz: are you searching for wireless networks? [07:07] I have a Linksys WMP54GS. It has the BCM4318 chip. Restricted devices had the driver for me and it worked until I did sudo apt-get upgrade, which removed it. I can't get it back in restricted d\evices either. Any ideas? [07:07] Tamnakz: It might need another package, something like kismet-server? I know its a client/server style program. === jeremy is now known as Guest55150 [07:08] morphynor yes. I have several available in the area, I just want to find out what's the strongest one to go for [07:08] thanks all [07:08] Tamnakz: network-manager will tell you that [07:08] Tamnakz: lol, the one in your home of course :) [07:08] geitenneuker: E: Couldn't find package hamachi [07:09] hi [07:09] RocketLauncher: it's a new feature of 9.10 [07:09] DaZ, I dont even? [07:09] when I try to start FireFox it is falsely reporting it is going.. how do I fix this? [07:09] powertool08 good service stops two blocks from me, I can get a few networks, but even a decent bandwidth allowance at my place starts at 70 bucks [07:09] im trying to install ubuntu and when the partitioner screen comes up there are no drives visible in the list. I have a SATA drive installed and UBCD can see it. Any ideas? (9.10) [07:10] !grub [07:10] grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. [07:10] ffs [07:10] morphynor: any suggestions? [07:10] mozul: if you boot from the CD can you mount it? [07:10] why is djmount removed in ubuntu? [07:11] Tamnakz: iwlist might even be enough. I think it gives details on signal strength. [07:11] it does [07:11] powertool08 iwlist? [07:11] neil_d when I boot live cd, it doesnt respond to menu clicks. so I cant see if it would mount [07:11] Tamnakz: Its the command line way to connect to a wifi network. [07:12] Tamnakz: we will not help you to find and break encryptions on private wlan's [07:12] so please stop asking [07:12] Tamnakz: I can't remember the package name though. iw, iwconfig, iwtools? something like that. [07:13] morphynor I'm not hacking anything. . . three people have already given me permission to use their networks. . . I'm simply trying to find a program that'll give me decently accurate signal strengths so that I can decide which to try for. . . something similar to netstumbler I used with windows [07:13] mozul: when booting from the CD can you get a terminal with [07:13] iwlist scan [07:14] iwlist scan? [07:14] yeah [07:14] just like that [07:14] neil_d: trying... [07:14] iwlis and then the word scan === ce is now known as cew [07:14] where? how? [07:14] but dont tell MorphyNOR i told you about that [07:15] Tamnakz: in terminal [07:15] Hi everyone I have rebuild index of my inbox folder & after that I have gone my al old mesage can any body tell me how to recover thta old mails? [07:15] interface doesn't support scanning. . . [07:15] Tamnakz: you may need to use sudo [07:16] Tamnakz: you most likely dont have your wireless modules installed [07:16] wlan shows scan completed, sweet, this'll work! [07:16] Tamnakz: try: ifconfig wlan0 up [07:16] ok, cool [07:16] n/m [07:16] I'm on wireless now [07:17] just be careful with iwlist scan... the fcc might come knockin on your door if you use it too much [07:17] is there some way to make mkfs reserve less than 1% for the superblock? [07:17] I have a Linksys WMP54GS. It has the BCM4318 chip. Restricted devices had the driver for me and it worked until I did sudo apt-get upgrade, which removed it. I can't get it back in restricted d\evices either. Any ideas? [07:17] -m doesn't seem to take non-integers [07:17] if I use it too much? there's nothin' they can do. . . [07:18] heh [07:18] signal level and noise level, measured in dBm. . . how can I convert that into a logical memasure? or is there a scale to it? [07:18] Tamnakz: DoD watchlist [07:18] so? I'm using it to get access to networks I've been permissed to use === ammonkey_ is now known as ammonkey [07:18] Tamnakz: you dont know the full potential of the software your using [07:19] ive said too much already [07:19] when I try to start FireFox it is falsely reporting it is going.. how do I fix this? [07:19] Hey guys, I did something foolish. Didn't realise I needed empathy installed to use this funky pidgin status/logout, restart, shutdown panel applet. Alas, it's gone now. I re-installed empathy but it the applet in question hasn't come back. Anyone know of anything? [07:19] it tells me the encryption key is set to off. . . when there is a key will it show me something different? [07:19] whoa [07:19] other than the fact that there is one? [07:19] neil_d: nope. ctl-alt-f1 yields no joy. Live CD boots to menu bar at top and other bar at bottom and cursor is stuck as circle thing [07:20] Tamnakz: yeah... "on" [07:20] how to know which package does a binary belongs too ? [07:21] is there a simple way to make sense of the dBm measurements? [07:21] Tamnakz: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signal-to-noise_ratio [07:21] ext3 or ext4 for my netbook? [07:22] it will have a lot of music and movies on it as well as use firefox, openoffice on a daily basis [07:22] Tamnakz: it usually breaks down to a channel, 1 thru 11 i believe [07:22] I have a Linksys WMP54GS. It has the BCM4318 chip. Restricted devices had the driver for me and it worked until I did sudo apt-get upgrade, which removed it. I can't get it back in restricted d\evices either. Any ideas? [07:22] What menu item allows me to disable Compiz? [07:22] mozul: I can only think of two things that might help.. 1) try booting the CD with different options (via function keys on initial screen) 2) try the alternate CD it just installs the OS without booting (fully) first. [07:23] arghh2d2 what do you mean about breaking down channels? [07:23] bullgard, System / Preferences / Appearance [07:24] neil_d: ok thanks. Leaving to try that stuff [07:24] ZykoticK9: Thank you for your help. [07:24] mozul: how where you getting the partitioner screen up firstly? [07:24] whenever i try to update my movie player a message appears : [07:24] APTonCD for ubuntu gutsy - i386 (2007-12-13 20:31) CD1 [07:24] in drive /cdrom/ [07:25] what should i do??

[07:25] Tamnakz: Wifi routers operate in a frequency range. Each channel is a frequency in that range. This allows some frequency adjustment to avoid conflicts with other nearby wireless devices. [07:25] kinja-sheep: but i have a 9.04 jaunty installed [07:26] I have a Linksys WMP54GS. It has the BCM4318 chip.

[07:29] and thus high noise level = bad? [07:29] exploreralex, and have you run "sudo apt-get update" since unchecking it? [07:30] Tamnakz: Yes, high signal is good, high noise is bad. [07:31] powertool08 any knowledge about the relation to signal quality and level? quality shows a 42 (which is the 'strength' showed on the normal meter) and level is 89? [07:32] After installing Ubuntu 9.10 using the "Ubuntu 9.10 Desktop Edition" CD but keeping my /home partition from 8.04.3, Ubuntu 9.10 accepts my password in virtual consoles but Update Manager does not. (It includes an AltGr keystroke.) How to fix that? [07:35] Tamnakz: The quality should be a good metric to go by, higher the number, better the connection. as for the 'level is 89' What level? Signal level? Noise level?

Just bunch of commands, about 10 or so.. that you can use to convert and whatnot.

(It includes an AltGr keystroke.) How to fix that? [07:47] songer: Ok, do you have openssh-server installed? [07:48] powertool08: i didn't know that i need to generate my private key [07:48] bullgard, have you tried changing your password in console and then tried with Update Manager? Just a suggestion. [07:49] songer: Yep, it makes it more unique and harder to crack. It wouldn't be very effective if everyone received the same key pair after installing. [07:49] I used ssh before ,but it didn't worek [07:49] ZykoticK9: No, I have not. [07:50] songer: If you haven't already: 'sudo apt-get install openssh-server' [07:50] powertool08: how can i get my private key? [07:50] ok i already have it [07:51] ZykoticK9: Your advice does not work. UpdateManager needs my password. [07:51] bullgard: i can see all the boxes i have on my lan (windows) but not my ubuntu [07:51] bullgard, i'm suggesting you change your password in console - then you'll have to log out of your GUI and back in with the new password [07:52] songer: Now run 'ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 2048' Note that the -t rsa is key type rsa, there is also a key type of dsa. Its up to you, I use rsa. Also, the -b 2048 is the number of bits in the key, I use a much higher number but I'm paranoid, again, it's up to you. [07:53] ZykoticK9: My password works when I log in. It does not work for UpdateManager, Synaptic and probably more GUI programs. [07:53] bullgard, doesn't work with the special character i take it -- why not try removing it/changing your password. [07:54] ZykoticK9: Because I cannot remember more than a few passwords. [07:54] songer: This will generate your public/private keypair. After the command finishes, try 'ls' and you should see some files named id_rsa and id_rsa.pub. [07:54] bullgard, good luck man [07:54] powertool08: i can changer the 2048? [07:54] my xfce broke down [07:55] ZykoticK9: Thank you. [07:55] what a thing [07:55] mm, awn is great [07:55] does anyone use xfce here? [07:55] songer: Yep, I usually keep it a nice round RAM number. Ex: 1024, 2048, 4096, etc. [07:55] Ubuntu can read NTFS and FAT32 flash drives and external HDDs? [07:55] ouyes: I do. [07:56] Xfact, yes [07:56] Xfact: gnu/linux can read those, yes [07:56] songer: The id_rsa file is your private key. PROTECT IT! Anyone who has this file can log in. [07:56] Does it happen to you too, when doing apt-get install whatever, the whole cpu is accessed by it and harddrive does a lot of work - which leads to pc mostly unusable during the install [07:56] powertool08, which version? 8.04? [07:56] Which is the default file system of Ubuntu linux? [07:56] Xfact, ext4 [07:56] ouyes: I use it on a debian box. [07:57] ohh... thanks guys for information :) [07:57] Xfact: i recomend ext3, but a bunch in here are gonna tel you "ext4 all the way bro!" [07:57] arghh2d2, why ext3? [07:58] powertool08, i changed gnome to xfce because the cpu was 38% in use while i did nothing in gonme, but after the change, i never boot into xfce successfully,so i reinstalled the os [07:58] songer: I also suggest putting a passphrase, this way, if your key is compromised (lost usb drive or something) then the person has to guess the passphrase too. [07:58] powertool08, why you use xfce? [07:58] ext4 isnt as stable as i'd like it to be, and it's incompatible with with some things [07:59] powertool08, I also suggest checking out lxde [07:59] if you want low resource usage [07:59] ouyes: I don't like gnome, I used kde until version 4 came out. KDE4 is worse than gnome, so I went to xfce. [07:59] madis: I have :) [07:59] powertool08, frankly speaking, i prefer gnome it is beautiful, but it is slow on my laptop [08:00] Actually, I've also tried them all, but went with gnome, as it has the most developers in it and I enjoy the eyecandy [08:00] ouyes: I'm somewhat of a minimalist, so I like that its lightweight, fairly fast. And it doesn't come bundled with tons of programs. [08:00] powertool08, you are funny [08:00] powertool08: i don't know what to do. 4096 [08:00] Though I'm not using Linux practically, so me using gnome doesn't mean much [08:00] Enter file in which to save the key (/home/songer/.ssh/id_rsa): [08:00] songer: That's a good number for bits. [08:01] songer: Go with the default [08:01] songer: Then add a nice long, complex, yet easy to remember passphrase. [08:01] powertool08, il get used to it [08:01] just hit anter? [08:02] songer: After your passphrase, yes. You should have to type it twice, then it will generate the key. [08:02] powertool08, the performance is the most important for a expert, or a hackert [08:02] ouyes: Ha, I guess so. I'm on old hardware so its partially a necessity for me. Plus I like it. [08:03] * powertool08 is still sporting a single core [08:04] * arghh2d2 is still sporting a P2 [08:04] what's a metapackage in short defintion? [08:04] arghh2d2, get a job :P [08:04] 有没有中国人呀 [08:04] Ah, you've got me beat. Athlon XP 2800+ here [08:04] madis: heheh [08:04] a package of packages [08:04] Though, I've got P4, not too much better [08:04] arghh2d2, there is nothing "sporting" about a P2 :) [08:05] Sacho, got it thanks [08:05] 大家好 [08:05] lol, i have a amd 3200+ too [08:05] it basically has a set of dependencies, that way you can package several single packages which you might often use together [08:05] songer: How are you doing over there?

Just ran Update Manager, it installed a number of things including something I think was a kernel update ? (named linux- something). My last update was 5 days ago. Anyway, after update it said "Reboot required" but after rebooting it won't boot up - gives me a grub prompt. What do I do from here? [08:07] ouyes: But 8.04 worked pretty good for me back when I used it. 7.10 was horrible. [08:08] tr, What's the grub prompt [08:08] i got a problem [08:08] GRUB> [08:08] arghh2d2, of course, we all should speak english, it is the high level language of the computer world ?

[08:09] does it support all the chips such as bluetooth and wifi and sound, etc ? [08:09] powertool08: i don't see any file named, id_rsa and id_rsa.pub. [08:09] arghh2d2 think you can link me? [08:09] plustax, maby you can fine on google search for ubutnu online pocker [08:09] plustax: i think its calle thpoker [08:09] gotcha [08:09] plustax: apt-cache search poker [08:09] in terminal [08:10] songer: try 'cd ~/.ssh' then 'ls' [08:10] geitenneuker: tell him that this all fake, or tell him that he is acting [08:10] After installing Ubuntu 9.10 using the "Ubuntu 9.10 Desktop Edition" CD but keeping my /home partition from 8.04.3, Ubuntu 9.10 accepts my password in virtual consoles but Update Manager does not. (It includes an AltGr keystroke.) How to fix that? [08:10] powertool08: can you help me with my ssh issue please [08:10] iAmerikan: It just says "GNU GRUB version 1.97~beta4, a short info message about BASH-like line editing supported, then sh:grub> for a prompt. [08:10] powertool08, at present you dont have any other choice but the english to make science communications and chat [08:10] quick can someone tell me how to change disable auto login in 9.10 in terminal? [08:11] dacs: I'll try. What's your issue? [08:11] tr The most I could recomend is reinstalling grub from live cd. (I'm kinda new to nix) If you want a good link I can grab one [08:11] oh hi iAmerikan [08:11] ouyes: Nope, until I learn myself another language I guess I don't. [08:11] but I'm not sure that I'm the best help, I just had a similar problem a bit back [08:11] lol plustax :D [08:11] powertool08: i am not able to ssh to my box/srvr [08:11] I've got a boot disk, so I can try that [08:12] tr, here's something http://forums.scotsnewsletter.com/index.php?act=ST&f=14&t=5025 [08:12] lemme find the link [08:12] though there might be better solutions [08:12] dacs: Is it on your lan or are you going over the internet to get to it? [08:12] powertool08: i followed the instruction on https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/serverguide/C/openssh-server.html [08:12] powertool08: my main idea is to use it over the internet , but now it is on my LAN [08:12] !grub2 > tr [08:12] tr, please see my private message [08:13] hi all! is it possible build deb package and more than 1 CPU? to speed up process... [08:13] madis: that looks like what I've got, minus the error message on boot. It will take me a while to read through that ... [08:13] *use more than 1 CPU [08:13] dacs: Did you follow the guide exactly? Changing it to port 2222 instead of 22? [08:13] ty https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows < guide I used. [08:14] powertool08: i can't ssh from my windows machine to my ubuntu box, but in ubuntu box i did ssh name@hostname and it work [08:14] powertool08, what you mean another language ? you know any one language? you are a native speaker of english , aren't you ? [08:14] powertool08: no, i thought ssh is on 22 [08:14] dacs: Ah, you need putty, and a putty key. [08:14] tr, I usually use live cd and sh into my real ubuntu and do update-grub from there [08:14] thanks iAmerikan , I'll read that. [08:15] dacs: According to web standards, it is. But you can run it on any port you want. I don't run mine on 22. It helps with the automated attacks. [08:15] madis: will that work if I'm runung wubi in a dual boot with xp ? [08:16] ouyes: Yes, I'm a native speaker of english, and I'm not fluent in anything else [08:16] powertool08, "No it is the language of the ignorant westerners!" made me think you were not a westerner and english were not you first language [08:16] hey guys, how good is ubuntu's netbook hardware support? [08:16] powertool08: cd ~/.ssh' and 'ls . says: autorized keys [08:16] ouyes: I figured, thats why I said I need to learn another language :) [08:17] tr, oh. Why do you even have grub then? [08:17] Lorvija, varies by model - you'll want to find info about the specific one [08:17] LordDragon, rather [08:17] tr, the "inside Windows" installation doesn't overwrite windows bootloader [08:17] ouyes: But hey, at least I'm aware of how the west refuses to learn when they should. We're getting left behind. === Guest17041 is now known as Mud [08:17] madis: heck if I know. Just a standard Ubuntu Netbook Remix install [08:17] tonyyarusso, is there a compatibility list somewhere about each model of netbook ? [08:17] songer: You don't see id_rsa? [08:17] madis: good to know :-) [08:17] LordDragon, yes [08:18] om26er, cool. where would i find that? [08:18] LordDragon, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport/Machines/Netbooks [08:18] LordDragon, w.u.c/HardwareSupport has some of them [08:18] powertool08: exactly port doesn't matter right [08:18] powertool08, there are wise people in the west,at least he have an advanced idea. [08:19] Though using Ubuntu inside Windows (and ntfs) isn't as fast as it could be... [08:19] After installing Ubuntu 9.10 using the "Ubuntu 9.10 Desktop Edition" CD but keeping my /home partition from 8.04.3, Ubuntu 9.10 accepts my password in virtual consoles but Update Manager does not. (It includes an AltGr keystroke.) How to fix that? [08:19] dacs: Right, any port you want. I'd avoid the popular ones though, and most keep it at 22, or above 1024. [08:19] powertool08: so why am not able to connect [08:19] ouyes: Yep, there are a few of us. [08:20] dacs: From linux to linux or from windows to linux? [08:20] Does anyone know if it's possible to use Ctrl+Alt+2 to produce @ sign? I'm rather used to it from Windows. I´m using Estonian keyboard layout, so you might not use such shortcut. [08:21] should ubuntu just as battery efficient on the netbook as windows xp ? [08:21] powertool09: i don't see it [08:21] er +be [08:21] powertool08: does it matter? but to answer your question, at this point of time windows to linux [08:21] bullgard, system>prefs>keyboard>layout options, make sure it's set right in there [08:21] dacs: If you changed the port, you need to specify it with ssh -p user@host. If its windows to linux, use putty. You can use putty-gen to make another keypair if you're using key based authentication, or you can import the linux key into putty. [08:21] LordDragon, nope as far as i know [08:22] so windows xp will be alot more battery efficient ? [08:22] songer: Ok, try 'locate id_rsa' and tell me if you get any results. [08:22] powertool08: am using securecrt [08:22] dacs: Oh... never used that. [08:22] configure: error: could not find libperl. <-- What do I install to get rid of this? [08:23] powertool08: it is greate tool [08:23] dacs: I'm googling it now. [08:23] powertool08: i ssh to alot of cisco equipment , and secureCRT is tab based [08:24] !test [08:24] yes, I'm alive. [08:24] !botsnack [08:24] Yum! Err, I mean, APT! [08:24] good :) [08:24] !test [08:24] Blio isn't going to work in linux? :( [08:25] securecrt is nice but costs money, putty is free [08:25] !test [08:25] hmm. [08:25] Agreed, it looks nice. [08:25] who needs tabs when you can use screen [08:25] hi all, if i was to move to ubuntu is there a way to make all the fonts i.e. in firefox appear as Arial or is Arial a windows font only. [08:25] * om26er was gonna throw a !botabuse [08:26] * powertool08 wondered how much longer before it was thrown. [08:26] schone, sudo apt-get install ttf-mscorefonts-installer [08:26] schone: all fonts in windows is avilable to Ubuntu [08:26] nice! just about to install it just wanted to check [08:26] weelcome to the other side [08:27] songer: Still out there? [08:27] you are now FREE [08:27] powertool08: so any suggestions on why my ssh is not working [08:27] freedom is free [08:27] yes, how can i see hidden files? [08:27] I am trying to make shortcuts to applications on Ubuntu Karmic x86_64... Everytime I try to launch the application through the icon nothing happens. Help? [08:27] songer ls -l [08:27] ls -la [08:27] ls -a i meant jeez [08:27] ls- al [08:27] dacs: Did you check to make sure all the ports are open/forwarded? [08:27] or control+h in nautalis [08:27] I take the same exact steps in the x86 version and it works wonderfully. [08:27] hmm, i did something maybe dumb. i was having problems with apache, so i removed /etc/apache2 and then uninstalled and reinstalled apache2. but it didn't seem to recreate all of the files that it needs (it complains about /etc/apache2/envvars not existing). is there some way to fix? [08:28] powertool08: not this is a fresh install of ubuntu, can you show me how to check them [08:28] does 9.10 have ext4 support? [08:28] yes [08:28] * dacs not ...i meant no [08:28] tonyyarusso: On a similar Ubuntu 9.10 Thinkpad computer Keyboard model=Generic 105-key (Intl) PC, Layout=Germany=Default > Type to test settings AltGr+Q produces '@', but on the faulty computer it produces 'q'. What layout option do I have to change? [08:29] LOL! FAQ Question #1 on the securecrt page: Is securecrt year 2000 compliant? [08:29] apache2 only has apache2ctl [08:29] ManBearPig, isn't it more like PigManBear? [08:29] reinstall apache-common and all that crap [08:29] devunt: thanks [08:29] madis: no it's ManBearPig stupid [08:29] haha [08:29] dacs: Well, if you're connecting out from the fresh install, it shouldn't block it. I was referring to any firewalls between you and the remote server. [08:29] . [08:30] bullgard, something labelled altgr. that's about all I know. [08:30] nulled: it removed and then installed like 7 packages, one of which was apache2.2-common, but still no luck [08:30] powertool08: If you just use ssh and not securecrt does it connect ok? [08:30] powertool08: none [08:30] apt-get autoremove [08:30] dacs: None? No firewalls on the route? [08:30] what channel is for web programming questions? [08:31] Pig: php [08:31] ManBearPig, what language? [08:31] powertool08: no [08:31] powertool08: does it come default with ubuntu [08:31] iAmerikan: Ajax...javascript [08:31] ManBearPig, it's #webprogrammingquestions [08:31] iAmerican: I am trying to use JQUERY [08:32] mootools FTW [08:32] dacs: What ssh? I think the client does, the server has to be apt-got. [08:32] ManBearPig: #html could probably point you in the right direction. [08:32] ##javascript [08:32] powertool08: well i didn't install any client i went for apt-get install srvr [08:33] I am trying to build an ubuntu guest on a debian host - Can someone point me to a good manual, I cannot find the procedure on http://linux-vserver.org/Installation_on_Ubuntu, but I assume its probably by using debootstrap "... -d -m http://" ? [08:33] #javaservlet [08:34] seems to be working now, thanks [08:34] dacs: dacs Just try 'ssh user@remotehost' and see what kind of message you get. [08:34] powertool08: from windows ! [08:34] hi i have a file in a directory with the name Ubuntu 9.10 i cant cd to it in terminal need help [08:34] dacs: Oh ya, sorry. [08:35] powertool08: i can't find id_rsa. just the authorized_keys [08:35] I'm so tired because my password is long. So I want to change my password. I typed my password in "change password" in "my information". but that window say "check your password..." while long time [08:35] powertool08: id_rsa is your private key, authorized_keys is your id_rsa.pub [08:35] songer: Ok, cd back into ~/.ssh, then re-run the ssh-keygen command, after its done, 'ls' to verify they were created. [08:35] avcodec encoder error: cannot find encoder MPEG-2 Video [08:35] *** Your FFMPEG installation is crippled. *** [08:35] why did you cripple ffmpeg?

Or you could look around securecrt and see if if it has a verbose feature, or ability to output to a log. What kind of error does it give you anyway? [08:37] they were installed all by default [08:37] nomad i get no such file or directory. [08:37] how can i configurate the packages to be installed ?? [08:37] powertool08: timing out...it was working fine for my Debian [08:37] powertool08: cd back into ~/.ssh, says no such file.. [08:38] nomad77, any ideas [08:38] nomad77, i get no such file or directory [08:38] dacs: Does it use passwords? keypairs? certificates? some proprietary authentication method? [08:38] meowbuntu: i mean chmod +x "full-path-to-folder" without the quotes [08:38] probably cause its got a space in name [08:39] songer: Ok, try 'cd /home/songer/.ssh' [08:39] powertool08: yes...and i tried putty and i am able to connect...maybe crt is caching an old key from the Debian box ..hmmmm [08:39] songer: Or maybe its in .ssh2 if you don't have an .ssh folder. [08:39] meowbuntu: try mv oldname newname(without a space) [08:40] i have one [08:40] dacs: That sounds feasible.

[08:43] power tool08: says, Enter file in which to save the key (/home/songer/.ssh/id_rsa): [08:43] songer: hit enter and it will save in that location.

[08:44] nomad77, thats for spaces [08:44] powertool08: thank you so much for all your help.....:) [08:45] pradalvr, how did you install them? [08:45] dacs: No problem, you did most of the work.

This may mean that you have [08:47] requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable [08:47] distribution that some required packages have not yet been created [08:47] or been moved out of Incoming.

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 :) [08:48] Night0wl: Synergy is a software kvm. Not sure if its supported by linux though. [08:49] Night0wl: And there's always ssh/vnc/freenx. Not exactly kvm but it will get the job done.

[08:50] do you have a code so i can get it in konsole ? [08:50] ouyes, not remotely easily anyway. [08:50] done [08:50] it stopped [08:50] cobra679, or if you want a good "copy" of wlm, you could try emerald [08:50] songer: Ok, that tab complete thing works in the terminal too. so try cat id_r >> auth. [08:50] tonyyarusso, what you mean? just cannot? [08:51] Now to reinstall [08:51] cobra, I meant emesene [08:51] tonyyarusso, you know some application can not be realized under a low kernel [08:51] If an application is looking for a shared library, how do I set the path it looks in? [08:52] powertool08: thanks for your advice [08:52] i have my svn checkouts in ~/checkouts but my php code is in ~/public_html. how the heck do i get my php code into svn like that? [08:52] I have aircrack and airmon running quite well, but I seem to have "power managment" turned off which is causing some frustration when trying to pick a target network... does anyone know how to enable the power managment settings in wlan settings from terminal? [08:52] ouyes, you can compile it, but have fun with the dependencies and compatibility issues cascading. [08:53] where "power managment" I assume is a program which lets us know the rx power? [08:53] powertool08: it happened nothing [08:53] anyone able to help me set up wordpress i just downloaded it [08:54] tonyyarusso, i got you point you mean yes you can upgrade the kernel but there will be a lot of trouble? [08:54] ouyes, likely anyway. no guarantees. [08:54] meowbuntu I would suggest installing the apache xampp project main program which is a bundle of the apache server, phpmyadmin, and a sql server all bundled in one pack [08:54] wordpress is cookie cutter....quite easy if you can set up a new DB [08:54] Whooo! Involuntary restarts! I love 'em [08:55] yikes [08:55] how? [08:55] songer: I might have missed the last thing or two you said [08:55] Power failures for about 1 second, just enough to kill the computer. [08:55] * powertool08 needs to invest in a UPS [08:55] mobius2, why would you do that when linux makes them work together normally? [08:55] tonyyarusso, for the accessibility ,it 's better to use the corresponding kernel with the ubuntu release [08:56] tonyyarusso what are you asking me? [08:56] powertool08: cat id_r (tab) it happened nothing [08:56] mobius2, I'm telling you that xampp is unnecessary and silly. [08:57] songer: Hmm... and when you did ls earlier you saw id_rsa and id_rsa.pub? [08:57] actually it's quite relevant [08:57] here is a question for all , what version are you using now ? 8.04, 9.04, 9.10 and 10.04? [08:57] dev servers helped me through school [08:57] !ot | ouyes [08:57] ouyes: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [08:57] I for one thank the dev team [08:57] good lord [08:58] ouyes: please do not do polls here, the channel is far too busy without them already [08:58] mobius2, I'm not arguing about apache servers; just the xampp distribution of the software. it makes no sense on Ubuntu. [08:58] mobius2, exactly what app is that in synaptic there is lots for apache nothing like xampp [08:58] the packages are ancient [08:58] powertool08: no but is into the folder .shh [08:58] xampp takes away some of the configuring you'd have to do [08:59] om26er, Myrtti , ok, i just want to know which version is more popular, forger it [08:59] tonyyarusso, is xampp lighter than lamp in terms of disk space and memory footprint? [08:59] talented, there isn't any configuration necessary... [08:59] xampp=lampp [08:59] mobius2, #ubuntu-offtopic [08:59] temporarytao, eh? it's the same stuff, just bypassing normal system management tools. [08:59] lul [08:59] powertool08, i just see music desktop, documets, download [09:00] meowbuntu, to install xampp, i think you have to download the package... [09:00] songer: That's where is should be. Is there also a file named authorized_keys in .ssh? If not 'touch authorized_keys' [09:00] tonyyarusso, of course there is, if you install apache on your system, you can't use /var/www unless you claim the folder [09:00] tonyyarusso, mobius2 what do you mean it is it is not [09:00] songer: cd /home/songer/.ssh It will make it easier [09:00] talented, um, what? explain what you mean by that. [09:00] does anyone know if it is possible to enable the "power management " option in a wifi usb adapter? [09:01] well, that's the location for your public html files, where all your web files go, but root owns it [09:01] I cant tell how strong my network region is [09:01] If I stick something in /usr/lib, do all applications automatically look there for shared libraries? [09:01] I am getting zero across the board on all networks [09:01] tonyyarusso, i thought it installed on top of everything else. isn't that why it has its own directory for web files? [09:01] talented, yeah duh. [09:01] how do i use wordpress i have it installed now [09:01] are, public key, id_rsa and id_rsa.pub [09:01] and THAT [09:01] is why to use lampp [09:01] lol [09:01] at least, with xampp, it's all in one location, you want to get rid of it rm -rf the folder [09:01] temporarytao, I ahve no idea what you're asking. [09:02] !enter | mobius2 [09:02] mobius2: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [09:02] !lib [09:02] songer: There's not an "authorized_keys" [09:02] talented, this is 2010 - we have apt now. === tkmr is now known as tk_afk [09:02] looooool [09:02] is xampp in the repos? I didn't know that [09:02] libs are symbolic links to the real lib files... [09:03] ok i already did, cd /home/songer/.ssh [09:03] ubuntu needs emerge ish thing [09:03] talented, nono - apache, php, and mysql are in the repos. [09:03] tonyyarusso, :) [09:03] meowbuntu, i think you need to google some wordpress tutorials [09:03] as i remember it, the first step is to setup your databases [09:03] mobius2, you will get kicked [09:03] powertool08, ~/.ssh$ [09:03] problem with xampp is it's not as current... if they had Uniform Server on Linux, it'd be a lot better [09:04] agreed [09:04] is there a key combo to switch between desktops? i don't know how to call them- not the tty1-7, but the seperate gui desktops [09:04] but why arent they one in the same already? [09:04] talented, how current do you want? [09:04] I'm looking for the default package list of Ubuntu Karmic, is that available? So the packages you have when you install karmic fresh [09:04] songer: Good, you're in the right folder. Now 'ls' and look for authorized_keys [09:04] i want to deploy .net application on ubuntu ! [09:04] what to do ? [09:04] well, it's more the security updates that I want current [09:04] not the bleeding edge [09:05] Night0wl: shift+mousewheel works for me. [09:05] hiren, go mono [09:05] i have tried [09:05] but confused [09:05] hiren look at mono: http://www.mono-project.com/Main_Page [09:05] talented, security updates to those packages usually hit Ubuntu archives within 24 hours - you need better? [09:05] what .net language exactly? [09:05] powertool08: ok now , authorized_keys id_rsa id_rsa.pub [09:05] its a framework [09:05] language is C# === bizarref1sh is now known as leeguy92 === leeguy92 is now known as bizarrefish [09:06] songer: Great, now 'cat id_rsa.pub >> authorized_keys' [09:06] xampp doesn't keep that current [09:06] thanks again powertool08 [09:06] hiren, that should be relatively easy [09:06] Night0wl: np [09:06] i used to be anti Mono....but maybe it is Ok [09:06] have you tried installing monodev? [09:06] i want to deploy it [09:06] hiren ask on irc://irc.gnome.org/mono [09:06] ok [09:07] nulled, same here. i reread the framework and it seems good. problem is, it has MS in it. :( [09:07] i don't trust those guys a lot [09:07] hiren, that is the officicial mono irc channe; [09:07] hiren, i think you might still need to recompile it for linux [09:07] temp: as long as nothing 'core' is programmed in C# wewill be OK... [09:07] hmm... is it just me or copying files through nautilus doing drag and drop then closing the windows except the file operations, cancels the copying [09:08] nope no recompile needed if in Mono [09:08] powertool08: what it must to happen [09:08] talented, yeah I noticed that too [09:08] nulled, good to know [09:08] how to remove 'universal access' icon from right side of top panel, right click is not working in it. [09:09] well, glad I'm not the only one experiencing it then [09:09] songer: The cat command will print out the contents of id_rsa.pub, but the >> redirects it to the file authorized_keys. [09:09] I need to know if there is any permission change from 9.04 to 9.10 on usb HD ext4 formatted. On 9.04 it was root:root, when i plug the same hd in a 9.10, their a permission change to local user:local user. [09:09] devendra, try gconf-editor [09:09] look for panel and find it from there [09:09] tempeldirne, but there are several options. [09:09] ok [09:09] songer: Now, 'sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart' [09:10] hmm... also transfer speeds are slow [09:10] powertool08, songer, or 'sudo service sshd restart' [09:11] mkanyicy: Thanks, I knew it changed but wasn't sure on the specifics. [09:12] powertool08, not actually changed, it's still the same path you specified, 'service' is just a nice script in case you forgot the path [09:12] mkanyicy: Alright. [09:13] cat $(which service) [09:13] damn long script just to replace /etc/init.d [09:13] hhaha [09:14] does anyone know if ndis-wrapper can be used to make a wlan which would normally not work in aircrack "wrap" the native windows driver thus making the adapter in question useable in aircrack? [09:14] powertool08: ok i did 'cat id_rsa.pub >> authorized_keys' and just :~/.ssh$ [09:14] nulled, it's not about how long is a script,it's about doing what it was supposed to do with minimal or no errors [09:15] hi, there is a driver for my usb key Transcend JetFlash with fingerprint ? The software is only for windows and it's not start with wine... [09:15] songer: Good, did you restart the ssh server with 'sudo service sshd restart'? [09:16] powertool08, songer what are you guys trying to do? [09:16] mkanyicy: songer wants pubkey authentication on ssh. [09:17] powertool08, songer is it worth copying the local RSA public key to the local authorized_keys ? [09:17] powertool08: keyauthenticaton at localhost? [09:17] powertool08, songer imho, i've never seen that being done before [09:17] songer: ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub user@remote-system [09:17] mkanyicy: I assumed the local one was the intended remote server in the end. [09:17] powertool08: ok === Morgoth is now known as Azerty82 === Azerty82 is now known as Melkor [09:19] powertool08, but that would create some confusion, you'd rather scp the public key and 'cat' it and append it to the authorized_keys of the remote server remotely [09:19] powertool08: so now what [09:20] powertool08: it says, ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub user@remote-system [09:20] llutz, there is now a command called ssh-copy-id ?? wow, let me check [09:20] mkanyicy: since ages, preferred method to copy ids [09:20] Hello [09:20] llutz, ages? [09:20] songer: I guess we find out if my assumption was right :) [09:21] I'm trying to use the 'install-css.sh' script so I can play DVDs, however I keep getting this error: http://pastie.org/773346 [09:21] songer: Is the computer you are sitting at the one you wish to be able to log into while elsewhere?

Its a program to detect and prevent(to an extent) brute-force attacks on your server. So 'sudo apt-get install denyhosts' [09:23] songer: Good. [09:24] i would like to know that [09:24] buzzomatic, go and read up on http://medibuntu.org on how to enable medibuntu repositories [09:24] mkanyicy, I was just following the instructions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats [09:24] Ok [09:24] powertool08: and :~/.ssh$ [09:24] so now [09:24] buzzomatic, forget about that (i dare to say) === JimmyJ is now known as JimmyJ|zz [09:24] Hah [09:25] songer: Then, if you plan on accessing your computer from outside your lan, from say your friends house. You'll need to log into your router and set up portforwarding. (I can't help you here as I don't anything about your router) === root_ is now known as Guest89958 [09:25] powertool08: ok [09:25] hello everyone... I have installed kubuntu and the default network manager for some reason screws up the wifi connection. So I am at home and we have an unsecured connection there to which I cannot connect. If I delete the connection from the connection list and then hit connect to other network it works perfect [09:26] but it is tiresome to do every time the laptop boots up [09:26] powertool08: now to exit from :~/.ssh$ what i must to do? [09:26] buzzomatic, go to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu to enable medibuntu then install those packages i told you about [09:26] songer: After all this is done. You put the id_rsa file on your usb or other computer, the ssh -i /path/to/id_rsa songer@your.computers.ip.address [09:27] #xubuntu [09:27] songer: Type 'exit' or 'logout' or if its in a seperate window, click the X at the top right [09:27] c'è nessuno? Is there anybody? [09:27] mkanyicy, I've enabled it, which packages again? [09:28] Where is the gnome-volume-control configuration file? [09:28] buzzomatic, try "sudo apt-get install libdvdcss2 libdvdread4 libdvdnav4 w32codecs" after you have enabled medibuntu repositories [09:28] Thanks [09:29] buzzomatic, not that for a comprehensive multimedia playback, you may need to install all gstreamer plugins (the good, the bad and the ugly) [09:29] songer: Also, if you are going to use windows and want to connect back to your computer, you have to use putty (its a free download) If you get the putty key-gen program too, it can convert your linux key to a windows compatible one. [09:30] mkanyicy, that's always the first thing I do [09:30] the cpu usage and frequence display icons always shows two number 38% 100%, it is the real usage of the cpu ?? is it correct ? [09:30] After installing Ubuntu from the Ubuntu 9.10 Desktop Edition CD, GNOME programs ignore the modifier key 'AltGr'. How to fix this? [09:30] Still anybody with a USB HD ext4 formatted plugged in a 9.10? [09:30] anyone knows how to make a shortcut of a windows application installed throuhg wine? [09:30] yes i have one works fine [09:30] powertool08: ok [09:31] nomnex, yes it is my usb hard driver [09:31] strywgr: Is this not a Windows question? [09:31] mkanyicy, something odd is going on, the repo is enabled, I've updated, yet the packages are missing [09:31] hi, can someone help me, when i try to upgrade my ubuntu it says "The upgrade is now aborted. The upgrade needs a total of 15.7M free space on disk '/boot'. Please free at least an additional 3,843k of disk space on '/boot'. Empty your trash and remove temporary packages of former installations using 'sudo apt-get clean'." [09:31] ouyes, can you check the default permissions? it is root:root on 9.04, the same volume on 9.10 is user:user, do you confirm the change? [09:32] nomnex, taken from my lap, (i use a 250gb one instead the 160gb one ,and make the 160gb a usb hard driver [09:32] powertool08: i'm tryn to make update but it says, GPG error: http://ftp.debian.org unstable Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 9AA38DCD55BE302B [09:32] valajbeg: Try the command 'apt-get clean'. May be it helps. [09:32] songer: To recap, you probably still need to forward a port on your router before this will work outside your lan. You need to carry the id_rsa file with you, if you're going to be on a windows machine, you need to download putty & putty-gen (it will fit on your usb too) and convert your id_rsa to a putty private key (ppk). Finally, take note of your ip address. [09:32] nomnex, what permissions? i only installed 9.10 [09:33] bullgard i triedbut it doesn't help [09:33] bullgard: i triedbut it doesn't help [09:33] buzzomatic, use synaptic and search for "css" and look for "libdvdcss2" and search "dvdnav" and look for libdvdnav4 and "dvdread" and look for "libdvdread4" [09:33] o_O [09:33] bullguard, I have the windows application on Ubuntu. [09:33] ouyes, when you plug the HD what are the default permissions? root:root or user:user? [09:33] user [09:33] valajbeg: So you need to free disk memory. That is, you need to delete some programs. [09:34] nomnex, i have not set the root a password [09:34] how to format a usb-stick to VFAT using the CLI without gparted? [09:34] songer: Wait a minute...

[09:35] ouyes, please (re) confirm, since I am still on 9.04, on 9.10 plugged hd ext3/4 formatted have user:user permissions [09:35] The repo is listed in software sources, it's key is there also, but none of the packages :/ [09:35] valajbeg: If you don't know, who else should know? If you cannot delete any file in /boot, resize your /boot partition. But this is dangerous for a newcomer. [09:36] Sorry, just got lagged out [09:36] http://paste.ubuntu.com/354930/ === rashed2020-away is now known as RAlnaemi === RAlnaemi is now known as RAlNaemi [09:36] nomnex, i donnot follow you ? what you mean ? [09:36] vargadanis: anything else then mkfs? its not installed and i am not root [09:36] bullgard: http://paste.ubuntu.com/354930/ this is the list of what i have got in /boot part [09:36] mkanyicy, those exist, except for w32codecs [09:37] iceroot, if you are not root you most likely won't be able to format the disk anyway [09:37] iceroot: if you are not root, you won't be able to create any fs [09:37] ouyes, do you have an usb hd you plug in a usb socket? [09:37] yeah right, just copy what i have said llutz ^_^ [09:37] ouyes, formatted as ext4 (not fat32) [09:37] nomnex, yes and boot to the system installed in it [09:37] buzzomatic, forget w32codecs then, as long as ubuntu-restricted-extras is installed and the good/bad/ugly of gstreamer [09:37] bullgard: is there anything that i can erase here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/354930/ [09:37] vargadanis: sry for my slow typing [09:37] valajbeg: Ok. And what does gparted say about your /boot partition? [09:38] it has about 18Mb [09:38] ouyes, not a system partition, just a HD (usb stick, portable HD) [09:38] 5-6 is free [09:38] valajbeg: Ok. And what does gparted say about your /boot partition? [09:38] llutz, nothing, I just find it funny that we wrote almost the same thing word by word :) [09:38] buzzomatic, but under serious/intensive multimedia playback, you may need to have w32codecs [09:38] vargadanis: we're spreading truth :) [09:38] nomnex, you mean you what to make a ext filesystem on you hd [09:38] mkanyicy, what about libdvdcss2? That doesn't exist either [09:38] powertool08: yeap, but its okay i already learnd somthing new today i took notes === RAlNaemi is now known as rashed2020 [09:39] llutz, let's establsh a chirch! The Chirch of Root [09:39] buzzomatic, that is the heart and soul of playing encrypted DVD's, you have to find it and install it [09:39] nomnex, make you hd an ext4 partition and use under you system? [09:39] ouyes, to make the story short. I have a USB HD ext4 for backup. On 9.04 /media (auto-mount) permission for the drive is root:root. When I plug the same device in a 9.10 the permissions are user:user. I need to confirm. [09:39] powertool08: so now what i must to do [09:40] to install this public key [09:40] I'm beginning to think that something is wrong with my install. Is there a tool to automatically repair the apt database? (if that's correct term?) [09:40] ouyes, does it make sens now? [09:40] Hi guys I have problems with my wlan card and to connect to my own network.

[09:41] mkanyicy, yes, multiple times [09:41] ouyes, I have tried it. So, I want to know if this is normal [09:41] xopah, lspci lists the network adapter? [09:41] mkanyicy, actually, sudo aptitude update :/ [09:41] Using apt-update gives me errors, I'll put them up [09:42] vargadanis, not exactly [09:42] Oh, nevermind, Synaptic locked it [09:42] nomnex,the permissions is used in the system you boot in not the hd [09:42] buzzomatic, "sudo apt-get update" and pastebin errors [09:42] vargadanis, not only network adapters but other harwares too [09:42] bullgard: in gparted i see /boot partition, first on disk, having 31.35Mb of size, 18.44mb used and 12.90Mb free [09:42] Hi. I bet this is a common problem because I didn't do anything out of the ordinary and this install is still fairly fresh, when I type sudo service networking restart, all I get is "restart: Unknown instance:" [09:42] buzzomatic, close synaptic and retry [09:42] mkanyicy, ok, no errors that time (closed Synaptic) [09:43] I'm simply using DHCP [09:43] Same issue, neither of those packages exist [09:43] nothing complicated about the networking [09:43] nomnex, the permissions is needed by the system, not the hd [09:43] vargadanis: yes "08:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation Device 4353 (rev 01)" [09:43] ouyes, not for external devices [09:43] om26er, soo the kernel sees the wifi adapter... that was the point of that so not driver related problem [09:43] songer: Hang on for a minute. [09:43] xopah, 1 min afk [09:43] buzzomatic, what is in "ls /etc/apt/sources.list.d" ? [09:43] vargadanis: sure.. :) [09:44] mkanyicy, http://pastie.org/773361 [09:44] any work-around that i cant use exchange5.5 on evolution? [09:44] And here's apt-get update and apt-get install as you suggested: http://pastie.org/773359 [09:44] valajbeg: Your /boot partition apparently is too small. Please enlarge it. Be careful, though! [09:44] nomnex, by the way how to make an external device a linux filesystem such an ext4, and can be accessed under any ubuntu system support the filesystem?? [09:45] Note that it does list mediabuntu [09:45] bullgard: ok, thnx [09:45] where do you go to disable a user's login? [09:45] songer: what version of ubuntu are you running? If you don't know use: 'lsb_release -a' [09:45] mebibuntu, rather [09:45] karmic [09:45] Hi.When I type sudo service networking restart, all I get is "restart: Unknown instance:".

[09:48] still stuck with the same silly question [09:48] sprung: I got the same result once. The command is faulty. Pleas use alternative commands. [09:49] where do i go to see my firewall logs? [09:49] bullgard, like...? [09:49] no, i just installed karmic [09:49] bullgard, And I'd also like to fix it being faulty [09:50] songer: Did you add the debian repo or was it already like that?

(multiple SSID on a ASUS WL-500W) from Ubuntu 9.10 on a HP 5101 (eth1: Broadcom BCM4353 802.11 Wireless Controller 5.10.91.9) Im now on the system online via Ethernet cable. After the help from nastas yesterday i now can not even scan the networks... lspci output: "08:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation Device 4353 (rev 01)" Im great full for an [10:03] y help I can get.

EsatYuce: I am Esat, i was born in Earth in 1900, 2.)Education: i graduated in the world university in 1920, .... . When i click the first word (for example: EsatYuce), i want to to link second one. How? [10:03] songer: The quickest fix is to comment out the debian repo in the sources.list file. Although, since its grouped with the security repo's, we may not want to do that.

[10:03] xopah, you might get an asnwer if you posted on the forums with some detail [10:04] ikonia, you said me to go #ubuntuforum before, But there is not anybody [10:04] hi [10:04] bullgard, So that you may be better educated the next time that you attempt to help somebody with the0 error with 'service networking restart' reporting a 'resart: Unknown instance:', the solution is for them to use 'service network-manager restart' instead. Please don't sprung: You will need programming knowledge to fix a faulty program. [10:04] "Oooh, they have the internet on computers now!" [10:04] EsatYuce: then wait for someone to be available in there - that is the forums support channel [10:04] i'm trying to access a samba share on ubuntu via windows 7, but it doesn't work, any suggestions please ? [10:04] ikonia, andrew_46 , it can play any high quality movies under windows but ubuntu cannot [10:04] bullgard, if you don't know, then don't suggest.

[10:06] ikonia, i didnot say it cannot be played but it cannot be played smoothly , smoothly is the point [10:06] kadoban: also show me the output of "sudo dpkg -l | grep libapache2-mod-php5" [10:06] powertool08: this is http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m66019239 [10:06] llutz, Installed: 1.2.10-0.3medibuntu1 [10:06] songer: Yep. run 'gksudo gedit' It should pop up a password box [10:06] ouyes: yes, thats why I said I wonder if the codec is having a problem [10:06] But I don't think it is actually installed [10:06] xopah, well I don't know it's just an idea [10:06] ikonia, smoothly mean you have at least a FPS>=25 [10:07] songer: After you enter your password, a text editor opens. Go down to the last line. [10:07] I tried a aptitude reinstall and it said: E: I wasn't able to locate file for the libdvdcss2 package. This might mean you need to manually fix this package. [10:07] buzzomatic: sudo aptitude purge libdvdcss2 -s [10:07] ouyes: I'm not arguing what you mean, I'm wondering if the encoding codec is not compatible %100 with the linux x264 codec [10:07] vargadanis: thank you.. I'll give it a try! [10:07] buzzomatic: you haven't medipuntu-repo in your sources anymore?

[10:11] kadoban: (as in a pastebin please) [10:11] songer: Sorry, my fault. Go to File -> Open Then browse to file system (May show up as / ) then /etc then /apt then open the sources.list file.

[10:19] vvvvv, is that a question or a statement [10:19] i've upgraded firefox in 9.04, now wants to load with "firefox-3.5" how do i link anything that still wants to run "firefox" with "firefox-3.5"? "sudo mv /usr/bin/firefox /usr/bin/firefox-old && sudo ln -s /path/to/firefox-3.5 /usr/bin/firefox" didn't do the job, clicking on links outside the browser does nothing (no longer have 3.0.1* installed) [10:19] sorry for the long post... [10:19] fine, on one line: having this issue on karmic: "Warning: Fake start-stop-daemon called, doing nothing", happens whenever I start/restart the cups service. cups daemon is not running, meaning I can't print. Googling suggested downgrading upstart to 0.6.3-10 from 0.6.3-11, which didn't work, or manually starting the service, which didn't work. neither changes the problem, i get the same error. [10:19] i know abt linx, but tell me in a short way to install into my machine [10:20] vvvvv, ok, follow what everyone else has been telling you.

[10:21] will get back to u ,if any issues. [10:21] you do that. [10:22] songer: I don't understand where that came from, but I really need to get to sleep, its 4:15 am here. So, once you have your sources.list file open, go to the last line, put '#' in front of 'deb', then save and exit. Then go back to the command line and run 'sudo apt-get update' if you still get the error, run 'sudo apt-get -f update' *Note the added '-f'. If it still doesn't work, ask the channel in general and hopefully somebody can help you. Good lu [10:22] is there a way to "reload" the webcam? [10:22] whr do u live sprng?

[10:41] HI I am having trouble with the package openssh-server on ubuntu 9.10 [10:42] dgetsman: personally I wouldn't upgrade yet, but wait until april when the next lts is released. upgrading lts to lts is easier than upgrading lts to lts-1 version [10:42] !ask|royerfa [10:42] royerfa: 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. :-) [10:42] ikonia: this is my sourceslist, http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m66019239 [10:42] dgetsman: Can't you open up "update manager" and click "new distro" [10:42] I did a apt-get install openssh-server openss [10:42] dgetsman: no. you need to upgrade to every version in between, in sequence [10:42] royerfa: yes? and? [10:42] fair enough; I guess I can put it off. Darkedge, I didn't see that and I dug through everything [10:42] DarkEdge : If its the Icon you want you can add by using Add to panel ;) [10:42] songer: you need to contact the getdeb administrators http://www.getdeb.net/contact/ or in #getdeb on this network [10:43] dgetsman: There is no other way. Wait till 10.4. Or you will have to upgrade step by step [10:43] After installing Ubuntu from the Ubuntu 9.10 Desktop Edition CD, Text in GNOME programs ignore the modifier key 'AltGr'. How to fix this? [10:43] Oasa: I haven't removed it, I killed its process [10:43] understood [10:43] andrew[andrboot], do i need to set anything ? [10:43] DarkEdge : using pid? [10:43] sprung: thanks for the link, but like every other guides, no luck so I am going to do it the hard way by reinstaling it all...

[10:45] songer: remove deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free from your sources.list [10:45] ikonia, no, it's not, the link on getdeb is calling apturl, which does an apt-get upgrate which cause the error, the error is not related to the site [10:45] apturl is horrible D: [10:45] :P [10:45] MASARUwota: i can't make update [10:45] joaopinto: I see the line you're talking about in his sources.list, nice spor === Callum__ is now known as Callum_ [10:45] ops, apt-get update [10:45] spot [10:46] joaopinto: yes, I see where you are going [10:46] getdeb places the repository on a getdeb.list , if he did the configure [10:46] I'm setting up a wireless mesh network, and I'm looking for a USB wifi dongle for linux that will support jumping between nodes of said network with little effort.

[10:47] joaopinto: adding the debian repo doesn't look like the right thing to do [10:47] Darkedge : Guess what ? I Screwed up my whole panel. How to get it back ? [10:47] ikonia, indeed [10:47] Steel__: sudo update-grub [10:47] ikonia: how i get into my sourceslist?

[10:50] Oasa, right click on the other panel and then "new panel" [10:50] gnome [10:50] I want my old panel. Not a new one. [10:51] :/ just recreate it [10:51] Oasa, wand then add stuff [10:51] Oasa: just add the thingies that you had on your old one and your set [10:51] with all thos file menu? [10:51] and the sys tray icons? [10:51] how? [10:51] am new to ubuntu [10:51] Oasa: right-click, add something [10:51] Oasa, u can add stuff by right-clicking ant then "add to panel" [10:51] hi when removing old linux kernels, should i be using the 'remove' or 'comletely remove' option in synaptic package manager (ubuntu 9.10)? [10:52] If i restart will things be same ? [10:52] Oasa, yh [10:52] bjlen, why do you need to remove the older kernel versions? [10:53] bjlen, I would keep them just in case a newer kernel gave me any problems, a kernel panic or something like that [10:53] bjlen: It shouldn't make any diffrence, I suggest Completly remove.. [10:53] sortremord: =) [10:53] yeah, listen to sortremord [10:53] i would keep at least one, but i had 5 or 6 [10:53] sortremord: after a new kernel has proven to work, I take all but the previous and remove them... [10:54] Myrtti how do you remove them? [10:54] Myrtti, that sounds good [10:55] After installing Ubuntu from the Ubuntu 9.10 Desktop Edition CD, Text in GNOME programs ignore the modifier key 'AltGr'. How to fix this? [10:55] Hi - This bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/446146?comments=all was supposedly fixed, but I've installed a daily kernel 2.6.33-999-generic and I'm still affected by it [10:55] snd me a text file like for using bsd commands [10:55] What do I need to do to get rid of that bug? [10:56] vvvvv: please try googling, i cannot send you 1 thing as the interent is filled with it. also, LINUX IS NOT BSD [10:56] *internet [10:56] vvvvv, joing #bsd for that [10:56] bjlen: hm, let me check [10:56] is it possible to install micrisoft framework on ubuntu linux? [10:56] join* [10:57] slumber: microsoft framework? [10:57] slumber, you might be able to install it in Wine via Wine-Doors [10:58] is it normal for ubuntu 9.10 to run at 40-80% CPU all the time (i currently have Xchat, firefox and system monitor open on a 1ghz laptop with intell 855GM and 1GB ram)? [10:58] sortrmod : tks [10:58] MASARUwota: Thank you very much ! [10:58] Steel__:np [10:58] bjlen : it happent to me, but it seems a bug [10:58] bjlen: firefox is a hog [10:59] slumber: .NET? you should install the "mono" package. you can run .net programmed apps in the following fashion: mono [11:00] bjlen: complete removal in synaptic or --purge in aptitude. [11:00] masaruwota: thanks [11:00] myrtti - thanks. i think i removed some old kernels with just 'remove' - does that matter? i'm wondering whether there are some config files i now need to manually delete? [11:01] bjlen: it might be a good thing.. ie if the cpu is downclocked so that firefox and xchat uses about 50% of the available cpu [11:01] how can i see how much HZ is my kernel set to run [11:01] slart - i don't understand... [11:01] bjlen: it might also be that firefox is eating lots of cpu cycles while the cpu is running full speed.. that would be a bad thing [11:02] bjlen: it's all up to your personal preference. I wouldn't worry about the possible config file residue left by kernels, grub is anyway cleaned after uninstalling the kernel images [11:02] Restarting didnt work out. I had to add everything manually :( [11:02] at least, having closed firefox i can see the cpu is now running 10 -40% with ocassional spikes. so i guess that's ok [11:02] Guys. I actually came here to know if there is any way to make myself login to Windows lIve Messenger through pidgin [11:03] I configured but it says Protocol Problems [11:03] bjlen: say you have a cpu that is marked for 2.5 GHz.. if your laptop goes into powersaving mode it might be downclocked to 400MHz instead.. then firefox will use 20% of the lower speed which seems much but in reality it isn't that much since the cpu is going much slower than normal [11:03] how would i know if it was downclocked? [11:04] bjlen: there are some apps that might show you the current power saving state.. I haven't used those since I upgraded to 9.10 though so I can't help you with specifics [11:04] I suspect that I am unable to see the range value of the various AP's around me in aircrack because I have a separate wlan which is also in use and I am assuming there is a program which handles this type of thing [11:04] Hello... does any one know how to fix that? [11:04] my question is not aircrack related but it is wifi related [11:05] i am getting a keyt reading error when trying to mount my encrpyted partition from the live cd! [11:05] what kind of crypto partition [11:05] luks [11:06] emmmm dingin [11:06] mobius2, what types are there? I created it using the intaller [11:06] Oasa: Pidgin normally doesn't have a problem connecting to windows live messenger, I'm using it at the minute so if you're getting an error, it could be a service problem at the windows end [11:06] Djones : Not just once. But always. [11:06] I am using 8.04 LTS [11:06] xover I suppose I should ask you what program you used to generate the ecrypted partition [11:07] mobius2, the ubuntu installer [11:07] kk [11:07] Oasa: Have you changed any settings or just used the default ones for MSN? [11:07] THe Default ones [11:07] I installed windows and now i cant boot any OS, so I wanted to reinstall grub, but its not playing ball. [11:08] xover and how are you introducing the key? [11:08] Djones : it says our protocol is not supported by server [11:08] mobius2, using cryptsetup create [11:08] anyone got creative x-fi sound card working? [11:10] mobius2, i installed ubuntu with encryption, tjen installed windows, no i cannot boot to either without a boot cd. [11:10] Oasa: I've not had a problem with pidgin and I'm using later versions of pidgin, possibly there's been a change to the proctol that pidgin & MSN use since your version, what version are you using? [11:10] I am using default pidgin that comes with 8.04 [11:10] LT [11:10] S [11:11] ололо [11:11] Oasa: Can you go into Help & About in the pidgin contact list to check which version number you're using [11:11] I would install partition magic to the windows instance and try to move the windows further down the loader chain that way [11:11] you are going to fix this from windows [11:12] or reinstall ubuntu AFTER windows [11:12] I love the way she shakes those hips [11:12] 2.4.1 [11:12] enyone can helpme i want to install acetoneiso from geddeb page but i'm getting this Can not install 'acetoneiso' (E:Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages [11:13] Djones can you give the information on the second page (advanced) of MSN please [11:13] Oasa: Just looking at pidgin's website, they say that its a common error with older versions of pidgin, I would guess that you need to upgrade to a later version [11:13] Oasa: Give me a sec to have a look [11:13] hey! trying to install ubuntu server 9.10 386 from a usb drive using unebootin to extract the iso. when i start the installation the instruction does not seem to apply. [11:13] "On Ubuntu 9.10 server edition the install menu will be shown right after reboot. Chose "Help" and then press F6. At the boot prompt type "install cdrom-detect/try-usb=true" and hit enter."

[11:16] I marked for upgrade will that work? [11:17] Oasa: the version of ubuntu after yours [11:17] ?intrepid [11:17] hmm [11:17] Oasa: Should have said Intrepid, its a newer version of Ubuntu [11:17] !intrepid [11:17] Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) was the ninth release of Ubuntu. Downloading: http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.10/ - Release Notes: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/810 [11:17] okay... the codename. [11:17] !intrepid | Oasa [11:17] ylike hardy. [11:17] Oasa: please see above [11:17] i understood [11:17] mobius2, how do i get grub back into the MBR? [11:17] Oasa: Looking at the repositories for 8.04, you're using the latest version of pidgin available [11:17] I am not able to install pidgin [11:17] I am not familiar with the Names but only version. [11:17] Hi i had to start my computer in vesa graphics because it wouldn't start in sis graphics, how can I figure out what is my problem? [11:18] even after doing what is said in http://www.pidgin.im/download/ubuntu/ [11:18] !repositories | Oasa [11:18] Oasa, please see my private message [11:18] insert windows installation disk and boot to the FIRST R repair console rebuild the MBR and the boot loader [11:18] mobius2, I ran grub-instal /dev/sda and it throws an error 'auto detection of filesystem failed' [11:18] What is repositories ? [11:18] mobius2, I need grub to boot into linux dont? [11:18] I am not getting the pidgin package in my repos at all [11:18] if you do not write ubuntu to the sequence at all the windows should boot by default [11:18] unless you insert your boot cd [11:18] am i right? [11:19] mobius2, at the moment I receive 'no operating system is found' [11:19] boot to the WINDOWS install cd [11:19] mobius2, appears the MBR is screwed, so im better off install grub to MBR again righT? [11:19] mobius2, can you jsut explained why I am better of installed windows MBR? [11:20] because windows sucks and it only like itself [11:20] mobius2, that rubbish i always use grub for booting windows. [11:20] better to not include ubuntu at all in the boot loader [11:20] Oasa: I'm just looking to see if there's an easy fix for you, the only one I've found so far is to add pidgin's own repository which will update your version [11:20] with full disk encryption? [11:21] hey guys [11:21] I am not getting the pidgin packages in my repository [11:21] the whole point of full disk crypto is to make the instance the least accessible as possible [11:21] after adding them from the pidgin website [11:22] Can someone check if this is a firefox 3.5.7 problem? -> www.google.com/analytics -> there is no login form, it just does not display. This worked in former versions of firefox [11:22] why put an instance under full disk crypto in the loader? [11:22] make it look like a windows rig [11:22] mobius2, it was full disk, but then i imaged it and deployed it on another disk not using he entire disk so its not FD. [11:22] also FD is never FD as the boot partition is not encrypted [11:23] yuk :) [11:23] How can you delete everything which a regexp match in Emacs? [11:23] any one here from India? or UAE ? [11:24] mobius2, im not really getting you [11:24] dia [11:24] hello [11:24] padi999: there is a login form, viewed with 3.57: http://www.google.com/analytics/sign_up.html [11:24] Another Problem.

[12:23] ardchoille: i started a vnstat database on my eth0 interface and the manual tells me that this also automaticly crontabs it to run every 5 minutes or so... i couldn't see the actualy command line for this in either root or my users crontab... any idea where it is? it IS working.

I thought it would be either in user or root crontab [12:24] ardchoille: This also made me a wee bit unsecure about wether my own crontab is running (created with crontab -e) [12:24] My hard drive is imminent - can I run Ubuntu off a USB stick and if so how can I do this? [12:24] viliny: I just setup my own crontab with crontab -e and it's working [12:24] I previously had a inadyn (dynamic dns updater client) but that never worked properly... never actually got a crontab to work... or so it seems. [12:24] iflema: that works [12:24] roger that ardchoille and thanks for the help [12:25] viliny: I wrote a nice crontab tutorial, want a link? [12:25] sure! [12:25] hey guys. i have a installtion question. am a bit new to ubuntu [12:25] good morning [12:25] shoot kaiser2011 [12:25] kaiser2011: just ask [12:25] ok here goes [12:25] viliny: http://ardchoille42.blogspot.com/2009/04/crontab-tutorial.html [12:26] iflema/guntbert: so how would i aleviate this problem? without having to resort to typing in the terminal? [12:26] I'm having trouble remap-ing a key that is supposed to have a Level3 character but that character won't show up. I have searched launchpad but can't find a solution. I can only get the character to show up if I change altGr to Mode_switch but that disables altGr function on all other keys [12:26] how do i launch app without waiting in terminal the best way? 'appname &' or some other way? [12:26] someone have a problem with ubuntu 9.10 and eclipse? I cant click buttons in dialogs boxes. [12:26] i got windows on C drive. I have a free D drive. its NTFS. i want to install ubuntu on the D drvie. Should i frst format it to FAT32 ?

[12:27] yes lucy....you can [12:27] Solid tutorial, thank you ardchoille, bookmarked it. [12:27] im sorry Ext 2 3 or 4 ? [12:27] kaiser2011: the ubuntu installer will format it to something else for you.. [12:27] lucy: pendrivelinux.com [12:27] viliny: You're welcome :) [12:27] kaiser2011: linux can't run on fat32 or ntfs [12:28] oh ok [12:28] kaiser2011: First you want to boot ubuntu live. From there you can use the partitioner to install it. The recommended file system is ext3 (not fat32) and ubuntu will be able to read/write ntfs. Also, the drives will not be C and D but hda and hdb respectively [12:28] viliny: thanks :) [12:28] kaiser2011, If you run the installer it will ask you what to format it as... For your root "/" partition usually ext3 is best [12:28] thanks for your help iflema and guntbert. & others for trying :) cheers. [12:29] encrypt hard disk with ubuntu os. how can i achieve this [12:29] lucy: that goes beyond ubuntu as well - but it IS included there. [12:29] hi all.. need a small help/info.

See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TruecryptHiddenVolume [12:29] soreau: during the installtion. it asks me where to install. the option it gives me is to partition C drive with windows. cant i make it use D drive? [12:29] i presue during the installtion it will change it to Ext it self [12:30] presume* [12:30] kaiser2011: Dont run the cd in windows. Instead, boot from it. [12:30] After installing Ubuntu from the Ubuntu 9.10 Desktop Edition CD, Text in GNOME programs ignore the modifier key 'AltGr'. How to fix this? [12:30] i did boot it [12:30] superboki: appname & is fine [12:30] kaiser2011: you need to create new partitions that are formatted with file systems that are supported by linux. [12:30] kaiser2011: Then its not going to say C, it will say sda and sdb for two hard drives [12:30] yes [12:30] bullgard: keyboard settings? preferences, keyboard.. there are some layouts and alternatives [12:31] kaiser2011: So just tell it to install to sdb [12:31] I'm having a very annoying error with UNR, is there a specific channel for it? [12:31] UNR? [12:31] TangentCollision: I believe #ubuntu-unr [12:31] nope [12:31] guntbert: thanks [12:31] viliny: ubuntu netbook remix [12:31] soreau: ok i will look into that. thanks for clarifying sda/sdb. [12:31] it's got a fun interface [12:31] TangentCollision: oh, ok, sorry [12:31] kaiser2011: np [12:32] superboki: you're welcome :-) [12:32] i shall be right back. going to boot. [12:32] Is it possible to find the embedded flash stream of sites having flash video content? I want to streamdump the videos but cannot find the direct links to the video files? [12:33] Real_Ubot: some websites make it easy some make it complicated some make it impossible [12:33] TangentCollision: Ah i see - a quick google gives me the impression that there isn't any official channel but that theres a entry in brainstorm to create one... [12:33] erUSUL: Ok. [12:34] Slart: There 'keyboard Layout Preferences' > 'Behavior of Alt/Windows keys'=default. The same setting as on another T43 Ubuntu 9.10 computer. But the effect is different. [12:34] how about #ubuntu-mobile ? [12:35] bullgard: try running xev, click alt+gr and see what it prints out.. do the same on the other computer.. it might be something else.. a BIOS setting perhaps [12:35] I can only find 'Install Ubuntu 9.10 to a Flash Drive from Windows' - I don't have windows on this computer. I know I sound incredibly dumb right now, but I'm still new to Ubuntu... [12:35] lucy: ill try to find you a link [12:36] viliny: #ubuntu-netbook ? [12:36] That channel exists [12:36] hey there, I'm trying to copy data from one disk to another, I'm using a live cd, [12:36] one person in there [12:36] ubuntu: mount them [12:37] ubuntu: You want to mount both the drives, then perform the copy [12:37] bit the 'from' disk won't let me copy to the 'to' disk, the use ir 1000, and it won't change [12:37] lucy: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/create-a-ubuntu-9-10-live-usb-from-cd/ - heres how you make one with the livecd [12:37] I've done "chmod 777" to no avail, was that the right thing to do? [12:38] ubuntu: you may need to use sudo === cows_sleepn is now known as cowgarden [12:38] yes, sorry, did [12:38] ubuntu: you may need to use sudo for the copy [12:38] ardchoille: Yeah, im awkward to irssi after 5 years of not using it so im not exactly hopping around channels at the moment... came up with those suggestions with some googling. Good thing if the netbook one is helpfull to him [12:39] viliny: Ah, ok [12:39] Man, I'm liking Karmic.. Ubuntu just keeps getting better :) [12:39] hello, the java-config is package from gentoo, someone use it on ubuntu allready? [12:40] I'm disliking the fact that about 80% of "new" linux distros are just based off ubuntu [12:41] viliny: Thanks once again :) [12:41] Slart: xev shows almost identical results. The difference being other addresses in RAM. [12:42] bullgard: then I would start looking trough those keyboard setttings.. also if you're testing stuff in the terminal you might want to check the LOCALE enviroment setting [12:44] Slart: A good idea! The locales differ. I will do some deeper snooping. [12:45] if i remote ssh to some ubuntu box, will i be able to see usb drives by default? [12:45] soreau ? [12:45] superboki: are they plugged into the ubuntu box? [12:45] not yet [12:45] kaiser2011: yes? [12:46] pm ? [12:46] superboki: you can plug them in and mount them, yes [12:46] and they should be under /media? [12:46] kaiser2011: no [12:46] superboki: they should be wherever you mount them [12:46] you should probably never automount things imo, but I'm a masochist and use archlinux on my server, and ubuntu netbook remix on my eeepc [12:47] uhmm, its jaunty, so isnt there some automount stuff going on? [12:47] soreau: ok. I am on the prepare disk space section. I dont see sda and sdb. i can however see sda1 and sda2. which are the sizes of C and D [12:47] is it the same thing ? [12:47] superboki: just do it [12:47] kaiser2011: sda1 and sda2 means the first and second partition on the first hard disk [12:47] tell me what the results are === Bdfoster89 is now known as bdfoster_iPhone [12:48] * Claudiu__ is away: Away fo now ..

[12:51] TangentCollision: it worked, under /media [12:51] superboki: spectacular, problem solved [12:51] kaiser2011: i think you should take some time to familiarize yourself with the concept of partitions and all that [12:51] where is the source of GUI for install-cd ? [12:51] !next [12:51] ;) === zhousiyv is now known as shellfish [12:51] kaiser2011: I would try selecting Install Side by Side and see what it tells you it wants to do.

[12:57] kaiser2011: SDA is your hardrive sda1 and sda2 are your partitions [12:57] manish: You need to be in #xubuntu [12:58] viliny: yes i understand that. now how do i install it in sda2 partition [12:58] exit [12:58] kaiser2011: No you want to delete sda2, then select to partition it as ext3 and you need to leave space for a swap partition so you will need to do a bit of math based on your systems RAM size to know what you want for swap [12:59] kaiser2011: format the sda2 to ext3 and specify that as the installation target partition after that... you might want to create a third partition for swapping space as well. [12:59] Help me out here... mkfs.ntfs gets stuck at 47% and responds to nothing. [12:59] theadmin, try mkfs.ntfs -f [12:59] that will be quick format === ari_stress is now known as satpam_lurah [13:00] om26er: Eh... But that's not the problem.

[13:00] hi all [13:00] !hi | acer1 [13:00] acer1: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines . Enjoy your stay! [13:00] kaiser2011: The swap should be the size of your system ram or a little bigger. So after you delete sda2, when you go to click on it and create new partition, specify the size of the maximum minus the swap size you will be using, then select the mount point as / [13:01] kaiser2011: after that, create the swap partition with the remaining space and then you should be ready to go [13:01] om26er: It's not a real hard-drive or anything, it's a... eh... file. Kinda. Ever heard of TrueCrypt? So... it's in /dev/mapper/truecrypt1 because I chose to "not mount" it, so I can format it to another filesystem. ext4 and others work fine with this kinda stuff.

Obviously my system is not recognizing my hdds. Is this a common error for ubuntu?

[13:05] kaiser2011: That is enough to install it, but you might consider making it bigger if you will install any big applications or store any big files on it [13:05] for ur orivate ip,. if config eth0 on ur terminal [13:05] Hi , again i need help. I have asked before and took notes, but it doesnt seem to be working now i follow them 2 months later. Iam trying to creat launchers that appear on every users screen every time they log in. here is my paste bin of instructions i kept for myself http://pastebin.ca/1746836 can anyone tell me where im going wrong here? [13:06] kaiser2011: Should be plenty of space for general usage [13:06] does anyone know why the front audio jacks r not working in karmic??? [13:06] thnx === y_ is now known as Guest66660 [13:06] garymc: as far as I know, that seems like something ubuntu would do automagically [13:06] but outside of that, I'm baffled myself [13:07] no it doesnt. Im using UBUNTU LTSP [13:07] sorry for caps [13:07] where is the Graphical Install source for install-cd ? [13:07] acer1: on a laptop? [13:07] viliny: on a desktop [13:07] acer1, try using "alsamixer" w/o quotes in your terminal and see if any channels are down or muted? [13:08] Burning Ubuntu-9.10-desktop-i386.iso to a CD comes up with 'burning image to CD' This can't be right, can it?... [13:08] tj83_, everythings unmuted [13:08] lucy: what? [13:08] hey, when I try to use the usb-creator tool I get the following error message: http://www.pastebin.org/74242 Anyone know how to fix this? [13:08] luci3n, why not? [13:08] lucy: that makes no sense at all [13:08] hi [13:09] lucy: that makes perfect sense, whats unclear to you? [13:09] lucy: it won't burn the iso as a file to cd, it will (hopefully) burn the contents [13:09] viliny: I wasn't sure as it said image.. :P [13:09] * TangentCollision thinks "do you want us to wipe too? [13:10] soreau: ok for the ubuntu installtion 6GB part. Type ? (Primary or Logical). Location for the new partition ? (Beginning or End). Use as ?. And Last option (Mount Point). [13:10] Which options should i use [13:10] lucy: everything will be allright [13:10] kaiser2011: Primary, beginning, Mount Point = / [13:10] kaiser2011, why so small? [13:10] what is the best tool with GUI, to go through very big packages on ubuntu? [13:10] TagentColision: lol well if this doesn't work I am basically screwed. [13:11] Hey guys, anybody here? [13:11] tj83: He only has 10GB partition to install and 4GB of ram so the swap will take 4GB [13:11] jonathan__: nope [13:11] why lucy ? [13:11] what is the best tool with GUI, to go through very big packages on ubuntu? [13:11] lucy, it will work [13:11] Does anybody know how to enable 3d accel? [13:11] Anyone have experience with software RAID1 in Ubuntu? Looking to try to set it up in something of a standard way. In looking into this, I came upon https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ReliableRaid, which basically tells me that RAID under Ubuntu is in a rather fragile state. [13:11] soreau: Use as ? Ext4 journaling file system ? [13:11] Software RAID, that is. [13:11] soreau: haha lol rofl.... not -_- [13:11] lucy: last cd? [13:11] soreau: why 4GB swap? will he use hibernation? else it makes no sense [13:11] kaiser2011: ext3 [13:11] hi [13:11] zig_: you want fakeraid [13:11] llutz: I dont know, maybe it should be different [13:11] I do not want fakeraid. =) === k is now known as Guest90274 [13:12] :P [13:12] jonathan__: Which graphics card? [13:12] soreau: if hdd-space is limited, swap should be minimized [13:12] fakeraid generally has proprietary disk layouts, from what I've seen. [13:12] viliny: cos if I cannot boot from USB my HD fails and thus laptop fails. I can't afford new HD atm or laptop for that matter.. [13:12] Which simply won't do for a server environment. [13:12] I'm having trouble starting up to the login screen but I can start in recovery mode, anyone have a sec to help me troubleshoot? [13:12] * zhangsam just look [13:12] tj83: how much would you recomend. I can quit the installer and resize the partitions from windows [13:12] nvidia geforce 7150M or N.... pretty sure it's M though soreau [13:12] llutz: Well I wasnt planning on 4GB of ram so I told him to set swap to be equal to ram [13:12] jonathan__: sys>admin>hardware drivers [13:13] lucy: i don't get it... why would your hd fail if you boot from it? [13:13] kaiser2011: make swap max 1gb, rest for / [13:13] kaiser2011: you just won't be able to hibernate this way [13:13] llutz: i have 4gb ram [13:13] kaiser2011: You might want to do the swap for like one or 1.5 gb since you have limited space [13:13] kaiser2011: and? [13:13] soreau there are 2 drivers there. they have the same name, but different versions. I installed the reccommended one, should I use the other one as well? [13:13] viliny: My hd is imminent atm. If I carry on using it it will go...it's like a ticking clock.. [13:13] kaiser2011: if you had 16GB you need 16gb swap? idiotic :) [13:13] jonathan__: Use one or the other. You probably want the latest version [13:14] llutz: He is new, please now [13:14] llutz: i am new to this swap thing :$ [13:14] lucy: so you want to subsitute the laptop hardrive with a usb stick "for now" ? [13:14] viliny: yes [13:14] soreau: that's what I have. however, I remember getting these to work, probably on the older version. [13:14] my harddrive has a thermite reactor in it [13:14] kaiser2011: make swap max 1gb, rest for / [13:14] ok this is what i can do. I can go back to windows and resize the partition [13:14] also, ubuntu netbook remix seems to be seizing [13:14] jonathan__: What is the problem you are having then? [13:14] my screen keeps flashing [13:14] kaiser2011: with average usage you won't need any swap at all. [13:15] kaiser2011: No no.. [13:15] that'a annoying [13:15] lucy: it will be noticeably slower than a hd though... id really try to get a new hd [13:15] kaiser2011, depends... what you got to work with for space? [13:15] kaiser2011: You can resize partitions with gparted, the app that you are using right noe [13:15] now* [13:15] soreau anything 3d related (games, blender3d, etc) isn't starting. just... nothing happens. [13:15] Slart: The locales are not the culprit. I changed them to "en_US.UTF-8" just as on the competing Ubuntu computer. This did not help either. -- I carefully compared all keyboard layout differences. I found none. I tried to re-start Guake using F12. This stuck. I called Guake from the menu. This started Guake. Shortly later I learned that now my AltGr key works normally. -- Thank you for... [13:15] ...your comments. [13:15] jonathan__: Well look at your X log for errors in /var/log/Xorg.0.log [13:16] soreau: i can take a chunk from sda1 from here ? [13:16] it has windows on it [13:16] :( I did last night..... it's sooooo long.... [13:16] viliny: I can't afford one.. the one I need is going for $71 and that's about £50..I'm still a student. Okay the burn has failed..what can I do? [13:16] i'll try some more I guess [13:16] lucy: how did the burn fail? [13:16] kaiser2011: Yes, just click on sda1 and tell it to resize and downsize it [13:16] kaiser2011: But you probably want to restart the install utility first [13:16] bullgard: you're welcome [13:16] I'm having trouble starting up to the login screen but I can start in recovery mode, anyone have a sec to help me troubleshoot? [13:17] kaiser2011, plz use my nick else i wont see your post. I am in multiple channels. its not difficult partitioning takes a little pre-thought before you begin. [13:17] ok restarting it [13:17] viliny: it just said error, shall I try it again? [13:17] lucy: do you have any friends running windows? all you need to do is download ubuntu iso image and place it in a folder with the executable you get from pendrivelinux and then run the exe/bat files and it creates the usb-stick for you... [13:18] kaiser2011: You probably want to delete the sda2 partition, then resize, then create the new partition(s) in the newly freed space [13:18] "sudo apt-get install slocate" tells me that slocate is not available- is there some alternative that has replaced it, or does anyone know how to get it? [13:18] this would spare you from having to work awith failing hardware and make it a little bit easier i guess [13:18] hi [13:18] viliny: I can't get hold of a computer running windows.. [13:18] hmmm, I was trying out the Kubuntu liveCD (from a flash drive) and it now prompts me for a username and password before I login (I haven't installed anything yet). Any idea why this is, or what the default username and password are? [13:18] kaiser2011: Like llutz said, if you dont plan on hibernating the machine, you can set a smaller swap size, like maybe 1.5 [13:18] GB [13:19] soreau: ok i restarted the utility. i deleted the sda2 and have 10 gb free space. how do i resize sda 1 now ? [13:19] kaiser2011: Right click on it and do Resize [13:19] found it- mlocate [13:20] kaiser2011: be sure to have an actual backup before resizing any partition [13:20] soreau: right click gives me options to change, delete and revert [13:20] lucy: in what country do you live? [13:20] kaiser2011: Well, you might have to apply the changes to delete the other partition first [13:21] poc mlocate has security features [13:21] soreau: Here's where the problem is:http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m3246979f [13:21] soreau: Here's where the problem is: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m3246979f [13:21] What is the correct way to restart the X server now that ctrl + alt + backsp is disabled? And how can I do this from a script? Ofcource i can drop to a console and do killall X, but that is'nt doable for a script [13:21] viliny: England [13:22] soreau: i think i will go back to windows. defrag sda1. then partition it like wise to around 20 GB sda2. then i will install ubuntu. that seems like a safe bet ? [13:22] viliny: Error while burning. The drive is busy. [13:22] jonathan__: So completely remove the nvidia driver from the system, then reinstall it [13:22] kaiser2011: Sure [13:22] lucy: did this come at the end of burning? [13:22] soreau: that easy??? [13:22] viliny: yeah [13:22] * jonathan__ bows at soreau's feat [13:22] jonathan__: It would be the first thing I would try [13:22] the cd might work still, lucy [13:22] soreau: ok one last thing to ask. when i add space as swap. what options do i use ? [13:23] soreau: o, I un-bow then [13:23] viliny: so I save the long? [13:23] viliny log* [13:23] thats the only thing left i guess. which that i shall be able to install ubuntu === jay is now known as Guest42886 [13:23] kaiser2011: When you go to do swap, just select the type as swap and all other options will be greyed out. It will just be swap [13:23] lucy: im not sure what you mean by saving the log but in my opinion theres still a chance that the cd is ok if it gave an error at the end of burning [13:24] sareau: oh ok [13:24] soreau: I'm pretty sure the older version did what I wanted it to on an older version of ubuntu, should I try that one? or just reinstall this one? [13:24] hey all can anyone help me here? [13:24] need help with linux :/ [13:24] soreau, tj89, llutz : thanks guys. i think i know now how to. will take a bit of a break and then complete the installtion. [13:24] mtaftm: don't ask to ask, just ask your question [13:25] jonathan__: First reinstall. Then if it still isnt working, review the situation and possibly use a different version of the driver [13:25] sorry [13:25] soreau: alright, thanks [13:25] webcam is not being reconised in cheese, however in terminal the webcam is shown in there [13:25] I have terminal open on server XYZ, can I "attach" its TTY session to the current one?

If so, try removing and installing the other version of the driver [13:29] soreau: yes, I do :( alright I'll try that I guess [13:30] soreau: is there a quicker way to restart than a full restart? like a way to restart x? [13:30] no its not :/ but its worked on ubuntu before [13:30] jonathan__: I dont trust proprietary drivers like nvidia, so Id say just do a full reboot [13:30] soreau: alright...

[13:52] soreau: I got the list, what do I do with it? [13:52] th1: i guess so to however its being detected in terminal ahh [13:53] jonathan__: Which ever one you install should show up in the list [13:53] well what I should have done is installing mdadm [13:53] ~/Templates, ~/Public, ~/Documents, ~/Music und ~/Pictures are "specia folders". What is special with them? Only that I can keep their names when changing the locale? [13:53] jonathan__: of hardware drivers app [13:53] soreau: alright, it's going === decoy_ is now known as mfilenko [13:53] s/specia/special/ [13:54] soreau: so now I gotta restart... again for them to show up? [13:54] jonathan__: You should only have to restart the jockey-gtk applet [13:54] ok, how? [13:54] If i forward a few ports to my playstation 3 from my router is that going to be a security risk? [13:55] jonathan__: The hardware drivers in the menu is jockey [13:55] soreau: ok, but still none show up. I installed the 185 package... but no drivers are coming up [13:55] neezer: everthing reachable from outside is a security risk [13:55] Hey there! Is it possible to separate contacts in Empathy for different accounts? [13:56] jonathan__: Do you have linux-restricted-modules installed? [13:56] llutz...I see. how much of a risk is a more valid question then. [13:56] linux is so confusing [13:56] how do I check? [13:56] Can I share my screen on skype [13:56] neezer: depends on the services and their configuration you run [13:56] Please help me to get my WLAN to work. - Ubuntu 9.10 karmic - Broadcom chip that cant even scan for networks anymore.. [13:56] mtaftm, those who have been using linux for 5years say windows is so confusing [13:56] mfilenko: Yes, At least if you are using different protocols. [13:56] jonathan__: sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules or dpkg -l|grep linux-restricted-modules [13:57] How do I share my screen on skype' [13:57] I did the second one, and nothing happened, not even any errors. trying the first one... [13:58] jonathan__: If the dpkg command doesnt show a package, that means it is not installed [13:58] Hi , again i need help. I have asked before and took notes, but it doesnt seem to be working now i follow them 2 months later. Iam trying to creat launchers that appear on every users screen every time they log in. here is my paste bin of instructions i kept for myself http://pastebin.ca/1746836 can anyone tell me where im going wrong here?

[14:01] llutz: dlna is digital liviing network something or other....and mediatomb is a mediaserver app that serves up media files to various devices like a ps3... [14:01] thanks though. [14:01] hello everyone, everytime i put a cd/dvd into my dvd player the pc restarts, i run ubuntu 8.10, any clue? thanks [14:02] jonathan__: Well if you installed the modaliaes packages and they are not showing in the list, start reinstalling the packages you originally removed when you did dpkg -l|grep nvidia (hint: use the up arrow key in your terminal) [14:02] i swear theres a way you can start a cam program in terminal [14:02] How do I share my screen on skype' [14:02] soreau: *Sigh* I only did one version, should I do all versions of the modalias packages? [14:03] bullgard, is there an option or it does it by default? [14:03] jonathan__: Well whatever version you do should show in the list, but you probably want to install the ones that were showing up in the list before [14:04] soreau: is there a commend in terminal to start a webcam program [14:04] soreau: ok, I did one of them, I will do the other as well :( this shouldn't be this difficult :( [14:04] How do I share my screen on skype' [14:04] mtaftm: Like cheese? You can just run it in the terminal [14:04] yh but theres a built in command :/ [14:04] jonathan__: Sorry, I am more of an ati guy ;) [14:04] how can I determine my primary and secondary dns for setting up a static ip on a device? [14:04] Good Morning wonderful guys [14:04] please just answer to me [14:05] good morning [14:05] neezer: cat /etc/resolv.conf to get the current [14:05] Hi guys, I got some issues with permissions.. it's my first time using Ubuntu so I could use some help [14:05] how can i look at startup text during boot instead of splash screens? i'm trying to determine where the startup process is hanging. [14:06] Can someone please explain to me what mounting mean?! why to mount ? How to mount etc... [14:06] hey how do i disable mouse n stuff on x11vnc [14:06] llutz: will it be the same for all devices on my network....i'm setting up my ps3 to have a static ip, so i'd run the command on my laptop. [14:06] McL0VIN, it's like you plug your device to system [14:06] hello [14:06] McL0VIN: mount = connecting filesystem to the system [14:06] like you plug-in phones [14:06] neezer: they should be same for all [14:06] great! thanks a lot llutz [14:06] neezer: most likely your routers-ip [14:07] aaron11: try asking on the skype forums [14:07] I just changed my user password, now when I restart I can still only login with my old password, but everything is broken, I get errors and only the karmic background. Any ideas? [14:07] I mean how do i only monitor a x11vnc [14:07] my webcam ID is 046d:0896 how can i find a driver? [14:07] IdleOne: Any better answer? [14:07] bassogigas: ok, thats what confuses me... e.g HDD is already plugged on my system [14:07] McL0VIN: read 'man mount'. But this is for advanced learners. [14:07] McL0VIN: how to mount, read "man mount" [14:07] IdleOne: A web page or anything [14:07] I need have permissions to add and remove files from folders that have 'root' as owner.. how do I accomplish that? [14:07] aaron11: better then go to the source? www.skype.com [14:07] bullgard: llutz will do [14:08] exit [14:08] aaron11, what's wromg with the previous answer? [14:08] soreau: alright, I'm back. sorry bout that [14:08] Hew: how did you change your password? [14:08] ~/Templates, ~/Public, ~/Documents, ~/Music und ~/Pictures are "special folders". What is special with them? Only that I can keep their names when changing the locale? [14:09] llutz, using the "users & groups" option in the menu [14:09] I changed it for my user [14:09] but not root, I'm not sure if that matters [14:09] Hey how do i set an x11vnc server to viewonly mode? [14:09] bullgard: they exist to make win-users feel like home, just meta-directories [14:10] Thanks a lot llutz. I appreciate the help. [14:11] hey... how can i remove the gnome panel? it doesnt have the remove option and the lowest size i can set is 17 [14:11] llutz, is there any way to change ownership of folders that are owned by root? Because I can't do anything outside of my little home folder.. permissiond enied. [14:11] shuuIRC: you don't want to change them, use sudo to access [14:11] shuuIRC: use sudo when you want to edit things outside of /home [14:11] looks like I don't need to forward any ports....just set up static IP on my ps3 and make sure upnp is enabled. [14:11] I'm getting nasty looking errors like: "Could not update ICEauthority file /home/user/.ICEauthority" [14:12] so when I want to move a file from my home folder, for instance a plug-in, how do i do it? drag and drop will get me permission denied [14:12] neezer: if your router allows upnp (which is a severe security-risk imho) [14:12] shuulRC, you can manipulate the content of any folder if you open a root window and use thunar or another file manager.. it will open as root and you will have full access, but you must be extremely careful doing that [14:12] also I have encrypted home directory, not sure if that matters [14:12] shuuIRC: in the root window if you type thunar it will open a ROOT file manager [14:12] soreau: it has stopped searching for drivers when I open it, how can I get it to search again? [14:13] how do i open a root window then [14:13] :o [14:13] to open a root window just type sudo -s [14:13] shuuIRC: open terminal, sudo -i [14:13] and then your password [14:13] ok I'll try it out, thanks [14:13] jonathan__: Like I said, try reinstalling the packages that you removed initially [14:13] or you can use gksudo too I believe [14:14] llutz: At least they either keep or change their names if I change the locale. How is this feature implemented in tem? [14:14] soreau: alright, that's what I'm doing. I was just checking in-between each package [14:14] llutz: What is a meta-directory? [14:14] hello everyone, everytime i put a cd/dvd into my dvd player the pc restarts, i run ubuntu 8.10, any clue? thanks === sprung is now known as POOP === POOP is now known as sharted [14:15] Can someone shed some light on why I can't get a level3 character to show up when using altGr [14:15] When the key has a 3rd level character defined [14:15] bullgard: sorry, no idea about how that mechanism works, i always delete them after installation.

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [14:15] IpSe_DiXiT: Please analyze your /var/log/syslog at this particular time. [14:16] llutz: Right. -- Thank you for explaining. [14:16] I just changed my user password, now when I restart I can still only login with my old password, but everything is broken, I get errors and only the karmic background. I used the Users & Groups application. Any ideas? [14:16] when reading any manual sometimes i see words like this "invisi‐ ble" what is this please? [14:16] jiohdi, llutz, thanks guys, it worked just fine. I guess I'll have to get used to using the terminal more. basically, putting sudo in front of a command gives me permission to do anything, right? including harmfula ctions [14:17] shuuIRC: yes [14:17] shuuIRC: try sudo -s [14:17] aaron11: Fair enough, but do you know anything about this? :) [14:17] bullgard: I am guessing a meta-directory is like a meta-package, a dir that links to other dir. [14:18] linuxuz3r, sudo -s does nothing :o [14:18] shuuIRC: better use "sudo -i" instead of -s, -i sets proper root-environment [14:18] shuuIRC: it makes you root [14:18] so all you have to do is type in a command [14:18] oh okay, I see, well thanks, I got all the info I needed so I'm off. :) [14:18] soreau: grrrrrr I reinstalled all that stuff and Hardware Drivers still comes up with nothing :( [14:19] jonathan__: That's strange.. maybe you installed something else too inadvertently [14:20] anyone know which logfile to inspect to track down a start up problem, system doesn't make it to login screen. [14:20] Hello :-) [14:20] jonathan__: jockey-common ? [14:21] soreau: when I installed linux on here yesterday, It booted up with a console that asked me for my username and password. only it was blinking, and it wouldn't take input from my keyboard very easily. we installed a .run from nvidia to fix it. is this what's causing the problem soreau? [14:21] jonathan__: meh [14:21] I was working and all of the sudden Input/Output errors showed up. I ran e2fsck and it seems to run again. Is Ext4 unstable or is my harddrive likely to failure soon? [14:21] soreau: jockey-common brings a command not found error in the console [14:21] Scott_Puopolo1: enable boot.log in /etc/default/bootlogd and hope your error will be logged too [14:21] bullgard: how can i? if it reboots, will it write something on the log anyway? will i be able to read it after the new boot? === ||arifaX_ is now known as ||arifaX === Smex is now known as TeachIRC [14:22] jonathan__: apt-get install jockey-common [14:22] soreau: alright [14:22] Can anyone help me with a problem i am having with nautilus and my mounted parition [14:22] Anyone know how I can fix this? I just changed my user password, now when I restart I can still only login with my old password, I get errors and only see the karmic background. I used the Users & Groups application. Any ideas? [14:22] I was working and all of the sudden Input/Output errors showed up. I ran e2fsck and it seems to run again. Is Ext4 unstable or is my harddrive likely to failure soon? [14:22] soreau: jockey-common is already the newest version. [14:23] IpSe_DiXiT: Yes, the computer automatically makes notices there about all important events in your computer. You can read it using any editor, for example Gedit. [14:23] llutz: thanks for reply, I will try that...i can start in recovery mode to the prompt...if i execute startx i get the desktop ok as root [14:23] jonathan__: I say just install the driver. btw, if you ever installed with the .run from the nvidia site or some other method, this could also be causing a problem [14:23] IpSe_DiXiT: The notices are written on hard disk automatically and permanently stored for a long time. [14:24] soreau: yes, I understand that. what do I do about it? [14:24] I was working and all of the sudden Input/Output errors showed up. I ran e2fsck and it seems to run again.

[14:29] Scott_Puopolo1: /var/log/boot.log [14:29] jonathan__: The first thing you messed up is when you ran that .run file from nvidia site. I assume it's still broken? [14:29] files having the extension .flv are flash video files and proprietary? Programs to read them may interfere with PulseAudio functionality? [14:29] IpSe_DiXiT: same service basically just a different name [14:30] soreau: I HAD to install that or X wouldn't even start. I understand that that isn't usually what you want to do, but I had no choice. and yes, blender 3d still won't start [14:30] Is the Sorenson Spark Video decoder plugin FOSS?

[14:39] and the name of the hd? [14:39] llutz: sorry about the long delay, but why do you think upnp on a router is unsecure? [14:39] brute: /dev/sdb1 , for your first partition, probably [14:39] neezer: it allows every app inside your network to reconfigure the router, even malware [14:40] reconfigure???

My motherboard has HDMI. Is there a way I can play media to my TV using Ubuntu server? Would I need to install a GUI?

[14:41] my friend got a problem he wake up turn on pc then when he log in using ubuntu [14:41] Universal Plug N Play is inherently insecure because it allows any application with UPnP capabilities to configure the open ports on a router/software firewall.

[14:51] nah just but there is Google ;) [14:51] google has failed me [14:51] it is simpler to follow https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto and burn it to a CD lucy [14:51] TidyBhoy: you mean the skydome? you'll need to install the compizconfig-settings-manager package, then go to system > preferences > compizconfig settings manager, then go to Desktop cube > Skydome [14:51] TidyBhoy: Yes, there is http://wiki.compiz.org/ and it's called skydome.

[14:54] TidyBhoy: as for your compiz issue you can try asking in #compiz [14:54] jonathan__, I don't want to mislead you because I'm not sure, but you can see if the game can be configured to use pulse [14:54] ooo they have a channel.. n1 [14:54] CShadowRun: okay thanks. If I have all the OS files on the USB is it possible to boot in live or does it have to be a CD? [14:54] fmagno: running compiz?

[14:55] its not a bad word in Ireland ;)# [14:55] Could anyone recommend a tool I can use to resolve svn's merge conflicts? Preferably something that can work with merge-tool-cmd config?

[14:56] CShadowRun, I wouldnt like to run a graphical heavy application to solve this problem. It would probably enable other features that you decrease my computers performance, right ? [14:56] jonathan__, usually, linux games can be configured using configuration files (you don't need to run the game to configure), you can google it to see how to change to pulseaudio for your game [14:56] verb3k: thanks, I'll do that [14:56] Compaq 6910p, can partition hdd with fdisk or gparted but at installation partman doesnt find hdd or partitions.

You haveto download 5 packagesi total [15:42] ohh ok [15:42] thank you [15:42] im doing it now [15:43] Hi, I've been using this to connect to a headless (no monitor/keyboard) computer I have at work: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNC#accessing-your-pc It's been working fine, but now when I try to do the x11vnc command I get this: http://pastie.org/773648 [15:43] Anyone please? [15:44] ice_age which one do i install brother the amd64 or i386 package? [15:44] what is you procesor intel or amd? [15:44] amd64 [15:44] so i gather that then [15:45] Use amd64 packages then. Download the dependencies also. [15:45] :D [15:45] amd64 is 64-bit, i386 is 32-bit [15:45] which ones are the dependancies sorry im so new to linux sorry [15:45] Is there anyone here experienced in MIPS Compiling on ubuntu? [15:45] Alf_Stewart: the packages you need are :libuniconf4.6_4.6-2_i386.deb ,libwvstreams4.6-base_4.6-2_i386.deb, libwvstreams4.6-extras_4.6-2_i386.deb, wvdial_1.60.1+nmu2ubuntu1_i386.deb, Gnome-ppp.deb [15:46] thanks ice_age thats what i needed to know [15:46] rut roh rorge [15:46] josespinal computer with no keyboard ? did this work and now broken ? [15:46] Chousuke so do i download the 32bit or 64bit? [15:46] or it doesnt matteR? [15:46] but, why are you installing a package manually? [15:46] doesn't APT work? [15:46] Chousuke i was told to do so? [15:46] ie. sudo aptitude install wvdial [15:47] hello, i'm on ubuntu, but i've installed kubuntu-desktop, now that i want kde 4.4 RC1, i've added the kubuntu-ppa on my sources.list, but when if i type apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade, the kde packages are not upgraded (but i got a few upgrades for other packages) [15:47] is there a way to look up user info on another machine in my network, something like the w program even if they are on a windows system? [15:47] OerHeks, Yes it worked, now it doesn't [15:47] Is it possible to restrict a user to just browse one folder? [15:48] Alf_Stewart: ah, you don't have internet access configured yet? [15:48] Chousuke are you saying that the package is included in karmic? [15:48] nopsey :) [15:48] i only have dial up lol [15:48] I wonder if those packages are on the CD [15:48] Is it that the computer must be logged in and not showing the GDM login screen? [15:48] thats what im wondering? [15:49] i thought they might be [15:49] i was told they were [15:49] Ma: Why would you have to do such a thing? [15:49] then ice_age said they arent [15:49] i dont know? [15:49] anyone familiar with w [15:50] someone's messing around with bots [15:50] Alf_Stewart: hmmh. [15:50] Chousuke do you think they might be? [15:50] Alf_Stewart: well, I have no way to confirm but wvdial is in the "main" section at least [15:50] irc9: To let friends get access to a shell without browsing the whole server [15:50] Alf_Stewart: so it should be on the cd [15:51] OerHeks, Is it that the computer must be logged in and not showing the GDM login screen? [15:51] Alf_Stewart: I would expect Ubuntu to support dial-up internet out of the box. === rashed2020 is now known as RAlnaemi [15:51] Ma: You mean in a Ubuntu Server (S)FTP? [15:51] Alf_Stewart: but I haven't had dial-up for almost a decade now, so... [15:51] irc9: no, ssh shell access. [15:51] Chousuke all i know is when i loaded the live cd i didnt seen anything for dialup options or set up only for broadband or wireless is that because im running the live cd and havnt installed it fully for all the packages to be open? [15:52] Chousuke: not so . There is no wvdial now. It was present till 8.10 [15:52] there ya go [15:52] lol [15:52] the parting and leaving is the lamest 'attack' ive ever seen [15:52] ice_age_: maybe it was replaced by something else? [15:52] Alf_Stewart: what are you trying to do? [15:52] ill continue to download the packages then [15:52] ice_age_: why no wvdial now? [15:52] razertek get my dial up working on ubuntu [15:52] Is there anyone here experienced in MIPS Compiling on ubuntu? [15:52] Karmic should have ModemManager or something [15:52] madcat1990: mips as a native platform or cross-compiling [15:53] I don't know. It is present in fedora and Sabayon [15:53] Alf_Stewart: where does network gui get you? [15:53] @Ikonia : Cross compiling [15:53] only for wireless and broadband connections [15:53] madcat1990: yes, I've done that [15:53] dial up doesnt show up at all [15:53] is their an easy way to resize root.disk from wubi? [15:53] @Ikonia : Care to lend a hand? =/ I want to program for my dingux and dingoo [15:53] is is right that rhythmbox ceased development and wont come in ubuntu any more ??? [15:53] Alf_Stewart: as far as i know wvdial is for dialup. You must install it. I am using dialup. [15:54] madcat1990: ok, so what's the problem ?(I assume one is x86 the other mips) [15:54] ice_age im taking your advice brother and downloading all the dependants [15:54] google-ing [15:54] ikonia : For starters, I do not know if I have the right libs and whatnot for actually compiling [15:54] irc9: possible? [15:55] Alf_Stewart: not much about 1.2 mb only [15:55] libxml/parser.h: No such file or directory can someone help me get this to link [15:55] madcat1990: well, have you built a toolchain yet ? [15:55] arrrggg debconf broken link ice_age!!!! [15:55] Alf_Stewart: don't you have other net to support you? [15:55] cant download it [15:55] ikonia : Yes, I've got one from dingoonity, I'm about to compile [15:55] nope just this unfortuantly [15:55] debconf has a broken link [15:55] madcat1990: let me look at what dingoonity, is [15:56] ikonia : Its a dingoo community [15:56] Alf_Stewart: just tell me your state. You are booting from live cd? [15:56] at the moment but im on windows now [15:57] @ikonia : I need mipsel-linux-gcc, but cannot find a package for it on the Karmic repositories === david__ is now known as davertronamon [15:57] In virtual machine? [15:57] no just normally [15:57] madcat1990: ok so where are you stuck ? [15:57] Alf_Stewart: did you read this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto/ScanModem [15:57] Ok download the packages in a folder. [15:57] @ikonia : I need mipsel-linux-gcc, but cannot find a package for it on the Karmic repositories <<---- here [15:57] Alf_Stewart: and this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto [15:57] thats what im doing [15:57] but one of the packages has a broken link [15:57] !info mipsel-linux-gcc, [15:57] Package mipsel-linux-gcc does not exist in karmic [15:58] !info mipsel-linux-gcc [15:58] Package mipsel-linux-gcc does not exist in karmic [15:58] razertek thanks ill read them i think ive read them before though? [15:58] Which one ? try another server [15:58] madcat1990: doesn't look like a package, so you'll have to build your own mips-gcc compiler [15:58] @ikonia : Any suggestions as to where to start? [15:58] its ok got it working now [15:58] lol [15:58] bbl all [15:58] geez its kind of obtuse.. anyone for resize a wubi partition, maybe its just a dd + ext2 image? [15:59] madcat1990: yup, you'll need to build a mips-compiler [15:59] Good afternoon. I have installed GAP, the animation Tool for gimp, but cannot find how to launch it. I cannot find it anywhere in GIMP, in the Applications Menu, or launch it from command line. [15:59] mallochigh: who produces wubi? [15:59] tell me [15:59] @ikonia : Where's the source? D: [15:59] madcat1990: gnu.org [15:59] ubuntu [16:00] wubi is the windows installer [16:00] bbl [16:01] The tutorial, http://www.gimp.org/tutorials/Using_GAP/ doesn't really explain how to start GAP. Or access it. It assume it magically appears. [16:01] FunkyWeasel: should appear in plugins [16:01] hi, anyone here experienced with installing Ubuntu Server via XenCenter? [16:01] I started the wubii installer to make a smaller wubi image but geez it would be nice to use the one ialready have [16:01] llutz: Nice one, cheers. [16:01] R1ck: should be the same as a normal machine [16:01] ubuntu is source in south of africa: and Ubuntu mean " delvoped for human" [16:02] master_: you are wrong. It means humanity to others [16:02] ikonia: the iso hangs after selecting English and "install Ubuntu Server", all I see as a cursor [16:02] yes exscuse me [16:02] what is the best way to partition your hd? I have 300GB and want to do a fresh install... [16:03] R1ck: what's your host OS ? [16:03] XenServer [16:03] neezer: it's personal prefernce,partition it up as you would like to [16:03] whwere do you live? [16:03] master_: it is not source in africa. It is funded by southafrican man in UK i suppose. [16:03] R1ck: what OS is running your Xen Server [16:03] I'm thinking about making a separate partition of 100GB for my music...I have 80GB of music... [16:03] no partition ext2 [16:03] ikonia: do you know what XenServer is? [16:03] master_: i don't live in africa though [16:03] neezer: depends on your needs [16:03] ikonia: i guess i'm looking for opinions. [16:03] !JRE [16:03] To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository [16:03] R1ck: I know what "a" Xen Server is, I'm not aware of a distro called xenserver [16:03] @ikonia : so now I'm suposed to look for the mips-linux-gcc source there? [16:04] Hi all [16:04] whats the easiet way to find out what cpu u got? [16:04] hello everyone.. I want to look into getting my linux+ or LPI certs. Does anybody have theirs on here that could point me to some great courses online, etc... [16:04] neezer: other peoplesopinions don't matter as it's personal to you [16:04] easiest [16:04] ikonia: its the Citrix commercial version of xen [16:04] I see. [16:04] vfen: cat /proc/cpuinfo [16:04] thanks [16:04] ikonia: its an os [16:04] madcat1990: mips-linux-gcc is just gcc compiled for mips [16:04] R1ck: ahh, thank you [16:04] llutz: I can't find GAP in the GIMP plugin browser. Is that the right place to look? [16:04] tyvm iceroot [16:04] How do I set permissions on Xubuntu to allow me to read, write and delete files in a restricted directory [16:04] ikonia: its based on RHEL iirc though [16:04] I've just found it oncitrix.com from google [16:04] FunkyWeasel: afaik yes [16:04] Aled man chown, man chod [16:04] "and use +javahome to specify the JDK or JRE location" - where is it located? [16:04] [question] I got a HP all in one printer and I want a simple way to scan with it connected to the server. I've made a shell script that does the job and scan to overwrite a default file. But I wonder how I can run it without needing to ssh into the server. Best would be by pressing the printer "scan" button, but I'd also enjoy being able to do it through local HTTP, no passwords asked. Anyone can help? [16:05] llutz: Downer. Doesn't seem to have installed properly. [16:05] @ikonia : then I download gcc? [16:05] how can I start a process that is stopped on the background? [16:05] Aled man chown, man chmod* [16:05] FunkyWeasel: sudo aptitude reinstall gimp-gap [16:05] madcat1990: if you want to build a mips gcc compiler yes === john is now known as Guest82238 [16:05] DasEi: "man"? [16:06] hi@all [16:06] coolcat: fg [16:06] @ikonia : ftp://mirrors.kernel.org/gnu/gcc/gcc-4.4.2/gcc-4.4.2.tar.gz would this be suitable? [16:06] Aled type these commands in trml, man is sort for manual (help) [16:06] madcat1990: if that's the compiler version you want and need,sure [16:06] "and use +javahome to specify the JDK or JRE location" - where is it located on ubuntu? [16:07] Does someone is experiencing video hang ups with empathy? Every time I call someone the video is up and showing during the ring. As soon as the other person accepts the call the camera stops showing up and I can't bring it back. [16:07] Hi everyone. After a recent update to firefox/xulrunner, Empathy will launch for me, gives no errors...and no contact list pops up. It's like it's running without a window. Is this a known problem? [16:07] i try to compile blender from source but blender is missing libopenal.a ... libopenal is installed but only libopenal.so* files in /usr/lib [16:07] @ikonia : Then when the time comes to compile, what paramaters should I give to "make" to compile it for Mips? [16:07] does anyone here know how to irc cop [16:07] llutz: Still no joy. Any recommendation on a GUI based GIF animation tool that works? [16:07] good lord [16:07] genii, But I want it to run on the background, I want to use the same terminal for other things ... [16:07] Ah right [16:07] FunkyWeasel: nope [16:07] madcat1990: have you ever cross-compiled anything [16:07] irc9: pardon ? [16:07] Aled : for a subfolder : chown -R Aled /subfolder [16:07] llutz: No worries, thanks for your help :) [16:07] some dude is flooding with joins and parts [16:07] Aled : for a subfolder : sudo chown -R Aled /subfolder [16:07] @ikonia : On windows, yes. All I had to do was download a Cygwin package, put some environment variables and it was done [16:07] irc9: tell your client to ignore join and parts, it's just traffic [16:08] madcat1990: thats not how it works, [16:08] @ikonia : Let me guess, I have to alter the gcc compiler by hand to be able to compile to my MIPS processor, right? [16:09] madcat1990: alter it by hand ??? no, you just have to compile it for the local arch but include/link it to the target arch toolchian [16:09] chain [16:09] Worked, thanks DasEi [16:09] @ikonia : how to I include/link it to the target arch toolchain then? =/ [16:10] used sudo chown aled /var/www/ [16:10] madcat1990: I think you need to do a little research on cross-compiling, you're diving in quite high [16:10] ALed: nice [16:10] madcat1990: this isn't a 2 minute conversation [16:11] @ikonia : I can see that =/, maybe I'll just do a virtual machine for now. [16:11] hello [16:11] Hi, I only get sound from earphones on ubuntu 9.10 32bit. Gateway 6860fx laptop. [16:11] How long should it take to create an ext3 partition on a 1.5TB disk with gparted? [16:12] @ikonia : I have some other more simple questions, can you still help? === trogan is now known as slabbeh [16:12] madcat1990: I can certainly try [16:12] @ikonia : Photobucket crashes my firefox when uploading, what's up with that? [16:13] no idea [16:13] @ikonia : nvm then x), do you use Docky? [16:13] Can anyone suggest a gif animation tool? I've got to do an animation that fades words in and out, the only solution we have so far is save about 30 images out from gif and use gifsicle to stitch them together, which is a COMPLETE PAIN when the boss innevitably wants to change one word. [16:13] madcat1990: no [16:14] @ikonia : Sorry to have bothered you then, and thank you for the help [16:14] madcat1990: no bother [16:14] coolcat: You could try to send a sigcont to it with the kill command, if you know it's pid [16:14] FunkyWeasel: convert from imagemagick may help [16:14] @ikonia : Btw, I found out that I need mipseltools-4.1.2-nopic (According to dingoonity) I'm gonna try to find an RPM or DEB ffor that [16:15] is there a command to see if I have a certain package installed? [16:15] llutz: Cheers [16:15] madcat1990: I'd strongly advise against that [16:15] neezer: apt-cache policy package [16:16] @ikonia : anyways, I'm off, thanks for the help [16:16] thanks llutz [16:16] @ikonia : You're awesome! =D [16:16] tootles! [16:17] with which audio player I can auto-fetch lyrics as I play in a gnome environment??? [16:18] genii, ok, next time I will use & to make it run on the background ... [16:20] . [16:21] with which audio player I can auto-fetch lyrics as I play in a gnome environment??? [16:21] blackxored: Songbird [16:21] blackxored: exaile [16:21] Norse_Nemo, is on the repos??? [16:22] blackxored: amarok (it is for kde but works fantastic for gnome). You can use rythmbox though [16:22] blackxored: no but it is super easy to install [16:22] Norse_Nemo, where I can get songbird? [16:22] Myrtti, I didn't like exaile, amarok simply rocks, but now on gnome [16:22] blackxored: Google search Songbird [16:22] ice_age_, ^^^^ [16:23] what's it's license???? [16:23] blackxored: amarok works. I am using it [16:23] blackxored: freeware [16:23] blackxored: it is made by Mozilla [16:23] Norse_Nemo, "freeware" isn't a license, I was wondering because there *might* be a reason to not being included in the repos [16:23] blackxored: Rhythmbox does with a plugin i think [16:24] I've downloaded ubuntu and burnt it onto a disk. I've then booted into Ubuntu live and gone system>admin> USB Startup Disk Creator and selected the USB stick. I then changed the capacity and it wont work...can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? (I'm wanting to be able to boot from my USB Stick) [16:24] enhickman, only interactively if I click the song and select Show Lyrics [16:24] what to do if "/system_bus_socket: No such file or directory"???? [16:24] Norse_Nemo, if I were going to judge because of the UI, you got 10 pts [16:24] blackxored: give Songbird a try, you will love it I promise [16:24] llutz: I'm sorry, I can't find imagemagick on my desktop either, even though synaptic reckons it's installed. [16:24] blackxored:8.5 [16:25] llutz: Highly frustrating. I just want a simple GUI gif anim editor without having to go find a windows box to do it on [16:25] FunkyWeasel: it's just a collection of tools, one is "convert" commandline [16:25] Norse_Nemo, what I meant by being in the repos, is that we normally *adapt* applications [16:25] FunkyWeasel: what about photoshop with wine? [16:25] llutz: Ah, darn. No GUI alternative? [16:25] one should expect that pidgin's is able to show your track, that gnome notifications work, etc [16:25] Hello. I am running Ubuntu 9.04 64 bit and recently installed Google Earth 5.1 (from the bin file provided on the Google Earth Website). The program runs okay, but the font size is really really small. I've had this problem with earlier versions of GE, but I can't seem to fix it with this one. Can anyone help? [16:26] ice_age_: Sort of defeating the point of ubuntu at that point though, eh? [16:26] blackxored: i understand what you mean, it is fairly new and not in the repos yet, it would not surprise me to find it there soon though [16:26] Norse_Nemo, although if they do their tests on a ubuntu system, they might taken care of that by themselves [16:26] I'm downloading I'll give a try [16:26] FunkyWeasel: nothing i know of, but graphics isn't my favorite thing [16:26] I mean, seriously - if "go use a windows box" is the way forward I'm deeply saddened :) [16:26] blackxored: let me know what you think [16:26] Norse_Nemo, I though it was the license [16:27] FunkyWeasel: Yes but consider your work is more important. You can switchback when there is better alternative in ubuntu. But hey it is victory for wine. [16:27] sudo sync [16:27] blackxored: it has the same license as all mozila software [16:27] FunkyWeasel: won't help you, but i never said: "linux to all desktops" :) [16:27] where can I get specific support for hplip on irc? [16:27] Norse_Nemo, so why's not in the repos??? [16:27] ice_age_: True. It's dissapointing GIMP doesn't do this natively too - I'm a huge fan of it otherwise [16:28] How do I get Xubuntu to show .htaccess files [16:28] I can't see the [16:28] *them [16:28] i cant believe that guy has gotten away with scanning this channel for that long [16:28] lol [16:28] Norse_Nemo, I'd take care of it when time arises if no one has done that before [16:28] Norse_Nemo, of course, I'll try it first [16:28] I can see GAP in the procedural browser, but not the plug-in browser. How strange. [16:28] blackxored: giht on [16:28] right* [16:28] Aled: ctrl+h in nautilus to show hidden files [16:29] Thanks [16:29] FunkyWeasel: I am a huge fan too but work is work and it need be done.

[16:29] but the command works anyway [16:29] koichirose, it highly depends on your system [16:29] ice_age_: Odd thing is I could have sworn I did animation in GIMP ages ago too. [16:30] I figure I'll try the upgrade, and if that doesn't work I'll do a fresh install. [16:30] !dist-upgrade | neezer [16:30] neezer: A dist-upgrade will install new dependencies for packages already installed and may remove packages if they are no longer needed. Please see !upgrade for the proper release upgrade methods. [16:30] FunkyWeasel: I've done it in gimp [16:30] not for a long time though [16:30] !upgarde | neezer [16:30] Alan502, approximately? I have a core2duo 3.0ghz, the hard disk is a sata wd green 1.5tb [16:30] !upgrade [16:30] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [16:30] FunkyWeasel: i tried and seeked help but no luck. I am back to photoshop cs2 in wine or cs4 in windows. [16:30] ikonia: Yeah, my problem too. I'm loathe to sink time into a GUI solution because I'll need to generate the images from GIMP anyway and then stitch them together. [16:31] hi im using 9.10 on my mac book pro with nvidia 9400M. when i plug in my external monitor (native 1680x1050) and use the nvidia tool ican only choose resolutions up to 1280x1024. any idea how to fix this? [16:31] Hello. I am running Ubuntu 9.04 64 bit and recently installed Google Earth 5.1 (from the bin file provided on the Google Earth Website). The program runs okay, but the font size is really really small. I've had this problem with earlier versions of GE, but I can't seem to fix it with this one. Can anyone help? [16:31] koichirose, it also depends on your ram... on the usage of your disk.. but it will take long [16:32] hyatt: you will need a section in your xorg for the second moni [16:33] Alan502, the disk is new, so no usage, I have 4gb ram, on ubuntu 64bit. Am I looking at 20 minutes, 1 hour, 7 hours? [16:33] hyatt: you can try sudo nvidia-settings, then configure twinview to detect second moni [16:33] DasEi: i used the nvidia-xconfig tool to create the xorg, but its true there isnt a extra section in the xorg or the specific monitor [16:33] koichirose: just throwing a partition on it will only take a few minutes [16:33] Hello. I am running Ubuntu 9.04 64 bit and recently installed Google Earth 5.1 (from the bin file provided on the Google Earth Website). The program runs okay, but the font size is really really small.

[16:34] koichirose: I'm not sure how long it took on my system.. I only created an 1.2 GB ext4 though.. it was enough time for me to go do something else.. might have been an hour or so [16:34] koichirose: alan502 is probably right [16:35] Norse_Nemo, Alan502, just finished (approx 40 min for the record :) ) === john is now known as Guest40545 [16:35] Oh nevermind, installation instructions are on the page I found the command on [16:35] fixed it myself [16:37] HI all I'm trying t install a program but it says It can't find glib any had this problem? [16:37] hyatt: I use no mac here, but my nvidia tool let's me (auto)detect displays , aslo different ones [16:37] also* [16:37] Is there a User Interface for lamp-server? [16:37] Aled: vi :) [16:38] Can I restart, stop and start Apache or PHP from within it? [16:38] Aled: use "sudo service $servicename start/stop" to do [16:38] Any indians here? What is your response to this: http://agnipulse.com/2009/05/10-reasons-why-ubuntu-is-a-big-failure-in-india/. [16:38] ironfoot495, try 'sudo apt-get install glib' and then run the installer again [16:39] $servicename being apache2? [16:39] I have an ubuntu-server with two NICs. I believe it is properly configured as a gateway, but it does not forward packets. How can I troubleshoot this? [16:39] i loose sound after hibernation or temporary system stop [16:39] Alan502_: ok [16:39] Thanks, worked [16:40] hi. i confiugured 9.04 for autologin. how do I disable password asking for keyring? [16:40] jMyles: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=202100 [16:40] maxxer: jujst leave blank password [16:40] Alan502_: say can't find package glib [16:41] recmajkemi_, the system is configured already, and keyring too... [16:41] how i can kill a allready exec based shell on xchat ? [16:41] Hello, I've a question about graphics drivers and kernel, If my kernel is updated is normal that graphic drivers are no longer use after the update ? [16:41] if i make [16:41] Hi, I've got two wifi-cards. When disabling the built-in one on my Laptop, it disables my USB-wifi card too. [16:41] ./exec ps -A [16:41] How viable is using LVM for the mirroring technology instead of MD (RAID1) [16:41] A process is already running [16:42] blackxored: just found out it is not in the repos because it is a developers release [16:42] ironfoot495, sorry 'sudo apt-get install libglib2.0-0' [16:42] use pkill cynix01 [16:42] Thaxll: if you installed proprietary drivers you will need to reinstall after a kernel upgrade [16:42] Why ? [16:42] driver issue olof_ [16:42] morstable, its working multiple in xchat ? [16:42] Norse_Nemo, hehehe, also there's not because it forkes xulrunner heavily, and won't build with normal xulrunner, so in the meantime, I'll skip to the tarball [16:43] Thaxll: because the driver was installed/configured to work with the kernel [16:43] ooohhhhhh [16:43] jbroome: I had already made the adjustments mentioned in that article. I'm looking for a way to figure out where the packets are being stopped or dropped - how can I do this? [16:43] Alan502_: libglib2.0-0 is already the newest version. [16:43] idelone is good [16:43] how i can make multible exec ? [16:43] on xchat ? [16:43] jMyles: you reboot after change? [16:43] blackxored: right on, have you installed yet? [16:43] zig_: I never head lvm is doing mirroring, got a link ? [16:43] jbroome: yep [16:43] Ok, but 2.6.31-16 -> 2.6.31-17 I tought it was a minor update :[ thanks for the response [16:43] Expert opino [16:43] err, ironfoot495 , which package is it? [16:44] jMyles: tcpdump is your friend. internal iface if stuff isn't getting out, external iface if stuff isn't getting in [16:44] morstable: then how would i know wich one being used? [16:45] jbroome: I don't know anything about tcpdump? Where should I start? man tcpdump? I often find that man pages are over my head until I had a softer introduction. [16:45] ima man on tcpdump; thanks guys | halt [16:45] Alan502_: I tried installing the package you just suggested libglib2.0-0 [16:45] I've got some partitioning problems. On my hard drive I have four partitions: Free space1, swap, linux, free space2. How can I merge the free space into one partition? [16:45] packetcase: are you trying to maintain any data? [16:46] hi, anyone can tell me how to share internet connection? i've wireless connected by (ppp0) and want to share it to LAN(eth0) [16:46] packetcase: unless freespace 1 and 2 are side by side you can not. [16:46] Norse_Nemo: Yes [16:46] packetcase: got to use a live cd, first delete swap, too, then set it up at another location later, correct uuid of fstab [16:47] !blkid [16:47] To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) [16:47] packetcase: have you got a live cd handy ? [16:48] Yes [16:48] packetcase: bott it and come back in, then get it done [16:48] boot* [16:48] DasEi: Done. [16:48] is there a way for empathy not to save my password? [16:49] !ics [16:49] If you want to share the internet connection of your ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetConnectionSharing - You may also use !firestarter: http://www.fs-security.com/docs/connection-sharing.php [16:49] packetcase: hehe, k : sudo apt-get install gparted (if not already there) [16:49] !ppp0 [16:49] Hello, i forget my "mysql -u root --password= ? i forgeit it, :( [16:50] !pppoe [16:50] Setting up an ADSL/PPPoE connection?

[16:51] Anyone know how to enable the framebuffer console on 9.10 server? [16:51] genii, thanks i will try [16:52] Does Ubuntu 9.10 use LVM2? === Guest42886 is now known as jaypur [16:53] jMyles: What are you trying to do with tcpdump? [16:53] DasEi: What to do with gparted? [16:53] zig_ : lvm2 2.02.39-0ubuntu11 [16:53] zig_: yes [16:54] I see. [16:54] Well, I've read reports that LVM2 mirroring is actually faster than MD RAID1 [16:54] rob_p: I have an ubuntu-server with two NICs that I am trying to use as a gateway / router. It can see both ways, but it is not forwarding packets. I am trying to determine why, and also to learn more about this configuration in a general way. [16:54] By a significant amount (2x speed?: http://www.joshbryan.com/blog/2008/01/02/lvm2-mirrors-vs-md-raid-1/) [16:54] genii, not work [16:54] I was wondering if anyone here had any experience with LVM2 mirroring [16:55] If it's possible to mirror data in a stable fashion with LVM, I would just as soon not use MD [16:55] hello welcome [16:55] Hearit: Which part? [16:55] jMyles: I see. Do you have a local keyboard and monitor on it or just remote access like with ssh? [16:56] !seem kameelneuker [16:56] DasEi: What to do with gparted? [16:56] i think step 3 === recmajkemi_ is now known as recmajkemi [16:56] zig_: as said above, I never heard of mirroring by lvm, either use some kind of raid or just have a backupsolution like rsync [16:56] jMyles: The reason I ask is that you will want to put some filtering on your packet dump if you are remoting in (like ignore ssh packets). [16:57] packetcase: sudo gparted [16:57] odd question hear, Is it possible to set a computer to use seperate mouse and keyboard per monitor without expensive software? [16:57] DasEi: HAL daemon is not started:-( [16:58] someone with 9.10 + a HD USB for backup (USB stick/External HD USB) formatted ext4 can talk to me? [16:58] packetcase: sudo /etc/init.d/hal restart [16:58] nomnex: details ? [16:59] where is firestarter executable? [16:59] aghh.. flash apps hang every page i open on either chrome or firefox. how can i make sure i have the fastest/most stable version installed? [16:59] Is there any audio guru here? My speaker sound doesnt work (earphone does). Ubuntu 9.10 32bit. Gateway 6860fx laptop. Been googling for days without succes. [16:59] DasEi, on 9.04 when I plug the device /media it auto mounts as root:root, on 9.10 as user:user is this correct? [16:59] jMyles: Still with me? [16:59] DasEi: I'm working from the command line, can't run gparted. [16:59] zig_: think that startup from lvm mirror is a problem at the moment [17:00] DasEi, defaut auto-mount permissions question among 2 versions 9.04/9.10 for usb devices [17:00] what is libpam0g? [17:00] olof: does it stop working after hibernation or it doesn't work at all? [17:00] nomnex: that depends on the system setting, but you can put it's uuid in fatb and give it either user or root permission [17:01] packetcase: I asked you to boot a live cd, you said done . . ? [17:01] DasEi: Yes, but no GUI. [17:01] recmajkemi: it's not working at all. (only earphones) [17:02] DasEi, I know that, but what about the default setting. I put a usb drive ext4 in a 9.10 and I got surprised by the default permissions change from root:root to user:user, I am looking for the information if it is default on 9.10 of machine specific [17:02] Can I ask, what's the best version of flash to use for 64bit 9.10? The one from Adobe's site or another one? [17:02] DasEi, still 9.04 here [17:02] DasEi: Will it be possible to accomplish without using gparted? [17:02] !pm | master_ [17:02] master_: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [17:03] jMyles: I guess you figured it out on your own. [17:03] hi, I've installed drupal on ubuntu via apt-get, everything seems to be fine but I do not find drupal's registration page on /var/www could someone help me finding it? [17:04] packetcase: yes , can use command line tools with zyclinders, but I won't help there, too much hassle and can easily cause harm, man mkfs is waht you want [17:05] coolcat: dpkg -L drupal6 shows the contents of the package, this might lead to something [17:05] DasEi: I do not have any valuable data on my hard disk, I just want to avoid reformating and reinstallation. [17:07] when i type su [17:07] and enter my user pass, fail, why? [17:07] Hearit: use "sudo -i" [17:07] packetcase: so why not use the convient live cd ? or just put the iso on a usb stick to even save a cd [17:08] Hearit: for su you need the root password which you don't have [17:08] recmajkemi: did u have a solution? [17:09] Hearit: if you want a console that will remain root, you can use sudo -s [17:09] bakerman: does the password for su exist by default? [17:09] syockit: no, see: [17:09] !sudo [17:09] sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) [17:10] syockit: the sudo password is your username passwrd [17:10] syockit: Sorry for butting in but no, that's the root account. Use sudo passwd to create a password for it [17:10] !root | syockit: [17:10] syockit:: 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 [17:10] olof: Sorry I just have similar problem, but my sound does not work only after logout on laptop. What kind of computer do you have? desktop laptop? [17:11] gateway 6860fx laptop [17:11] rob_p: I'm so sorry to walk away - I'm starting a coffee shop (that's what the gateway is for) and I had to server some customers. :-) [17:11] rob_p: Yes, I mostly ssh in, but I have a head on it for now. [17:11] how to change default security settings when usb devices are automounted? ubuntu 9.10 creates mount point for them with 0700 security mode, I need 0666 [17:11] jMyles: Oh, no problem. :-) [17:11] nomnex: I think that diffrence may be in ext3/4, too [17:12] rob_p: My girlfriend and I are starting a tech cafe - fair trade coffee and free software evangelism. :-) [17:12] syockit: the root password does not exist in ubuntu. You have to create it if you want. sudo passwd root [17:12] !noroot | ice_age syockit [17:12] ice_age syockit: We do not support having a root password set. See !root and !wfm for more information. [17:12] jMyles: that sounds like a really cool idea! :D Best of luck:D [17:12] jMyles: I understand. So if you want to watch the packet dump of the interface you are coming in on, you can do, "sudo tcpdump -i ! tcp port 32" [17:12] !root | syockit [17:12] syockit: 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 [17:12] opex1: Last time I had to do that, it was in gconf-editor. But I heard one now needs to mess with HAL configuration... eh, open gconf-editor and look under the /system branch. (Also, if by "mount point" you meant the directory, then you wouldn't be able to access it with 0666 - you'd need 0777.) [17:13] jMyles: Sounds interesting! [17:13] jMyles: I wish you all the luck. [17:13] Can I ask, what's the best version of flash to use for 64bit 9.10? The one from Adobe's site or another one? [17:13] rob_p: I figured out tcpdump -i ethx - then I also need to specify the ports I want to watch? [17:13] ubottu Pici: I know that but there should be a way for teh [17:13] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [17:13] argh I'm being bombed about the philosophy behind no root password! [17:13] the_real_dave: for functionality.. go with the one from adobe [17:14] rob_p: What I really want to know is this: Is the gateway attempting to forward packets? If so, why aren't they making it? [17:14] Slart: thank you :) [17:14] jMyles: By default, it will dump all packets. If you want to target some ports, you have to specify them. [17:14] syockit: you can create if you like as i said. It is present in other distros like fedora [17:14] rob_p: Gotcha. Well, when I watch all ports, nothing happens when I client tries to ping ubuntu.com. [17:14] Is there a tool like system-config-lvm that won't wipe one's RAID setup? [17:14] jMyles: For instance, if you wanted to see what http requests were going out from the gateway box to the 'Net, you would do something like: sudo tcpdump -i ethx tcp port 80 [17:15] rob_p: I suspect that the clients don't understand who their gateway is. [17:15] Palimpset doesn't seem to care much for resizing LV's (and their related filesystem) [17:15] ice_age: no, it's just funny how everyone rushes to answer that particular question. Anyways, thank you all for attention and answer! [17:15] syockit: that's for security reasons, so nobody has to login as root and is doing standard work with full root credentials - that's my interpretation [17:15] sudo help to delegate/negotiate for just one instance and considered safer security wise === om26er- is now known as om26er [17:16] olof: did you try to type alsamixer in terminal and there change some settings? [17:16] jMyles: If you are trying to do a packet dump on the same interface that you are connecting remotely to, you will need to include, "! tcp port 32" otherwise you will be overwhelmed with ssh traffic packets. [17:16] rob_p: Doesn't SSH usually run on port 22? [17:17] grawity: Yup! typo! :-| [17:17] Hi All, I want to connect my ubuntu to a wireless printer thats on the network any ideas? [17:17] rob_p: why 32 and not 22? [17:17] Also, you'll probably need to use \! instead. [17:17] jMyles: It's port 22, not 32.. [17:17] recmajkemi: i dont know what to change there? [17:17] jMyles: typo [17:17] recmajkemi: just randomly change? === Unregistered is now known as Female_Link [17:18] jMyles: Have you configured the gateway to hand out DHCP leases on the local network? [17:18] markive: ubuntu printer discovery should find it [17:19] can someone help me with pgp signing ? [17:19] gpg -sign-key key.asc --sign database.sql.gz [17:19] jMyles: If so, the clients should know where the gateway is... provided you configured the DHCP server correctly. [17:19] doesnt work :S [17:19] rob_p: I think so - using dhcp3-server. However, it doesn't seem to do it quite right. I also need help with that, but I thought I'd get a static route first. Maybe I should just get the dhcp working right from the get go [17:19] Norse_Nemo can you tell me where i might find it? [17:19] pleaswe [17:19] jMyles: Might I suggest dnsmasq? [17:20] rob_p: You aren't the first - I've seen it in guides and forum posts, but I do not understand what dnsmasq is. [17:20] Markive System -> Administration -> Printing [17:20] is there any limitation for ubuntu kernel to see more than 8 cpus at x86_64? CONFIG_NR_CPUS shows 64 [17:20] jMyles: dhcp3-server is fine but dnsmasq is easier and includes DNS service cacheing and forwarding for your clients. [17:20] jMyles: dnsmasq is a lightweight DNS and DHCP server, intended for use in home networks. [17:20] Norse_Nemo Thanks very much [17:20] markive: you are very welcome [17:21] jMyles: It's simply a DHCP server that also provides DNS service to your local clients. [17:21] Can UFW (or anything else) limit applications to specific interfaces? eg Samba to eth0 and Deluge to ra0 (wireless), etc... [17:21] rob_p: Will I miss some features of dhcp3-server if our network grows very large (throughout our small town)? [17:21] olof: nom just toggle mute mode on speakers [17:21] jMyles: I doubt it... can't think of any off the top of my head. [17:21] Getting an error in Xsane: "Failed to start scanner: Document feeder out of documents". It scans via flat-bed, but not threw the ADF which is what I want. Any help? [17:21] Oli``: I think iptables (the usual Linux firewall) allows filtering by pid. But I don't think it can do process names... [17:22] Oli``: Why don't you just configure, for example, Samba to only listen on eth0? [17:22] rob_p: OK, let's do it. I already installed it from synaptic. [17:22] jMyles: You will find the configuration file in /etc [17:22] grawity: that works for Samba because it allows it... It doesn't for apps that are interface agnostic (like deluge) [17:22] jMyles: I think it's something like dnsmasq.conf or similar... [17:23] I want to create costomized ubuntu cd like other distros like Mint etc.. where to start? [17:23] !remaster | ravindu [17:23] ravindu: Interested in remastering the Ubuntu !live CD? See: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization or use tools such as http://uck.sourceforge.net/ or http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/DRU_Disc_Remastering_Utility [17:23] Oli``: you sure it doesn't have a "bind address" or whatever? Most P2P apps I've used had that. [17:23] jMyles: Make a backup of the original before modifying it. (cp ./dnsmasq.conf ./dnsmasq.conf_orig) [17:23] ubottu: i think im in love [17:23] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [17:24] !pgp [17:24] gpg is the GNU Privacy Guard. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GnuPrivacyGuardHowto and class #8 on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ClassroomTranscripts [17:24] grawity: it has a setting but it's not implemented that I can see [17:24] jMyles: The configuration file is quite big but you will only need to make a couple of small changes to it and you'll be up and running. === TurbosoniC3 is now known as soniC [17:25] rob_p: Do I need to disable dhcp3-server before proceeding? [17:25] grawity thanks for links [17:25] jMyles: You will be surprised at how much customization it offers. It's a lot more versatile than dhcp3-server. [17:25] rob_p: I have the config file open. [17:25] jMyles: Yes. Disable and remove dhcp3-server. [17:26] Oli``: in that case, add a rule for deluge's PID when you start it? ip6?tables can filter by process ID, I'm sure. [17:26] grawity: I'll look into it [17:26] How does one get into rescue mode for an Ubuntu Server 9.10 installation? [17:26] The bootloader doesn't appear to come up at all, just loads things... [17:26] rob_p: done. [17:26] pff I can't figure out how to sign a file with my public key :( [17:26] zig_: Does it at least prompt you to press 'ESC'? [17:26] jMyles: Let me see if I can find an old config around here. [17:27] jMyles: stand by... [17:27] c0p3rn1c: What kind of key, GPG? [17:27] rob_p: I can pastebin it if that's easier [17:27] grawity: Nope [17:27] gravity: pgp yes [17:27] Default installation, too [17:27] c0p3rn1c: gpg -b file.txt (or gpg --detach-sign file.txt) for a detached signature (one that is written to a separate file). [17:28] hi, I installed 9.10 using alternate and the encrypted system via LVM option. Now I would like the system to also mount /home from my second hard disk, encrypted also (with same pw), where do I edit? I looked in init /etc/initramfs-tools folder, but there are no files there.... [17:28] c0p3rn1c: gpg --clearsign file.txt <-- this one would sign the file's contents, and put the signature inside it. Only works for text. [17:28] c0p3rn1c: Optionally add --armor for the signature to be in plain text. [17:29] I have a seperate file with a public key provided [17:29] I have to sign a database with this key.asc file [17:29] Getting an error in Xsane: "Failed to start scanner: Document feeder out of documents". It scans via flat-bed, but not threw the ADF which is what I want. Any help? [17:30] grawity, how can I encrypt this database.sql with this key.asc ? [17:30] jMyles: Open it up in a text editor and go down to the line, "#interface" [17:31] c0p3rn1c: First import that key to your keyring, using gpg --import [17:31] jMyles: approx line 85 [17:31] grawity: i did that [17:31] and then ? [17:31] rob_p: I'm there. [17:31] c0p3rn1c: Then ... wait, do you want to encrypt it or sign? Or both at the same time? [17:31] jMyles: Uncomment it (remove the # from it) and assign the internal interface to it. [17:31] when I install via LVM + encryption, where is the script that mounts my partitions during startup? [17:32] grawity: both [17:32] c0p3rn1c: gpg -r -se database.sql [17:32] rob_p: done. [17:32] There also doesn't appear to be a menu.lst on this installation... [17:32] jMyles: Now go down to line 103 and uncomment, "#bind-interfaces" [17:32] zig_: grub2 doesn't have that, it uses grub.conf or something like that. [17:33] jMyles: That directive doesn't take any arguments... just uncomment it. [17:33] c0p3rn1c: After -r, put the key ID of the recipient's key. [17:33] zig_: grub2 uses grub.cfg instead [17:33] rob_p: ok, done [17:34] jMyles: Now line 137, "#dhcp-range=192.168.0.50,192.168.0.150,12h" remove the comment and put in your applicable network range (for DHCP leases you want it to hand out). [17:34] I see there's a warning in grub.cfg, telling me not to edit it =) [17:34] What interface would one use to modify the configuration of grub2? [17:35] hi, I installed 9.10 using the alternate CD and I selected LVM + encrypted. Now I want to make it mount my /home from a second hard-drive. This also needs to be decrypted (using same pw as "/"), where can I set that? [17:35] !grub2 | zig_ [17:35] zig_: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [17:35] why doesnt microphone work in skype ubuntu? [17:36] rob_p: You know, I actually wondered about this. We are in a very densely populated block, and just for novelty sake, I'd like to hand out ips other than 192.168.whatever - can I do this? [17:36] i thought that the decryption process is configured in /etc/initramfs-tools scripts, but that is empty [17:36] ZykoticK9: Thanks [17:36] Having trouble with Skype on ubuntu, mic doesn't work using pulse audio (orginal in ubuntu 9.10) [17:36] pwk_: /etc/crypttab? [17:36] jMyles: use 10.x.x.x network [17:36] hello [17:36] Lungan: either it is muted or pulseaudio isn't correctly set (esd by default I tink, got to re-link it) [17:36] jMyles: That should get you a working configuration. Basically we have forced it to bind only to your internal interface (obvious reasons) and defined the range it will hand out. [17:36] evening all [17:36] jMyles: Use IPv6 :D [17:37] jMyles: Yes. [17:37] grawity, rob_p, llutz: can I just put 10.x.x.x and it will work? Also, yes, I want to make IPv6 the focus of our network - I need some advice on that matter as well. [17:37] grawity, well that file only has one entry, for sda1_crypt, no where there is mentioned my swap nor what pws to use [17:37] jMyles: You could use a private class A range in the 10.0.0.0/8 network if you like. [17:37] DasEi, and how do I solve that problem? Im pretty noob [17:37] ok so what would cause an instllation to freeze before even starting? [17:37] Lungan: sudo apt-get install gnaome-alsamixer [17:38] Lungan: sudo apt-get install gnome-alsamixer [17:38] grawity, I assume the way it works is it decryptes "/" and then runs some script on "/" to decrypt the other ones? [17:38] we have a pc which im installing 9.10 desktop, and no matter which menu option is chosen, it freezes there [17:38] is there some kind of was around this? [17:38] DasEi, I have alsamixer installed [17:38] help me, I found three choice os when start my laptop [17:38] i have a static route setup so that 192.168.0.x traffic is routed to eth1. I have a web server on 192.168.0.4, and can ping it. but firefox will not connect to it (i know the web server works). How do i fix this? [17:38] scott____1: at wat menu part does it freeze? [17:39] jMyles: Once you have your config file the way you want it, you will need to (re)start the service. [17:39] Norse_Nemo: any of the options cause freeze [17:39] jMyles: yeah, just use 10.0.0.0 the same way you used 192.168.0.0/24 previously. Just beware that you'll probably want to change netmask - usually 10.x.0.0/16 is used, so 10.x.0.0/255.255.0.0 or somtehing. [17:39] especially the install option [17:39] Lungan: and checked the mic to be unmuted ? [17:39] scott____1: sounds like a bad install media [17:39] DasEi, Now its unmuted but still doesn't work [17:39] Norse_Nemo: even checking the disc freezes [17:39] DasEi, I was watching a movie. I will try that on another 9.10 there could be some change in the default permissions for auto mount usb devices in 9.10 to avoid the default root:root permission on USB HD. It could make sens. Anyway the movie is freaking thrilling. It's RUINS. I get back to it. Will check the IRC log for eventual answer later on. Bye [17:40] Norse_Nemo: failed burn? [17:40] scott____1: sounds about right [17:41] jMyles: "/etc/init.d/dnsmasq restart" should get it up and going with the new config [17:41] scott___1: try booting the CD ona different system [17:42] i installed the lastest version of CCC from the ati website..but it is not getting listed as installed in Hardware Drivers...as i result i cannot enable visual effects..any ideas? [17:42] how ya`ll doin my negroes!! [17:43] Lungan: http://tinyurl.com/4d7lk3 [17:43] I be needin help [17:43] grawity, rob_p: ok, it's time for a confession. All my life, I've seen "netmask," and I've even ready the wikipedia article on it, but for the life of me, I do not know what a netmask is or what it does. I also just blindly put "255.255.255.0" wherever I see it. Can you briefly explain how it applies here? [17:44] jMyles: the Subnet does mostly what the name sounds like, it is a sub network [17:44] maverick: ati's propitary aren't supportedsince > xorg 7.2 ; got to use the opensource drivers, which card ? [17:44] How do I install a Canon PIXMA MP800? [17:44] today is a good day, I got ubuntu to work as my main system [17:44] jMyles: It's not something that can just easily be explained. [17:45] DasEi: ATI HD 4850..i read that 3d is not supported fully for this card in the open soure drivers :( [17:45] When booting up my PC, it says (in bios) System and Video BIOS Shadowed. It stays for a bout a minute, then detects HDD, init mouse, then load up Ubuntu. My dvd drive seems to be dead, could it be a problem with that? [17:45] jMyles: I'm bad at explaining things... but it works kinda like this. When you have an IP address, for example, 192.168.1.14, you can find out the network address like this: 192.168.1.14 & 255.255.255.0 = 192.168.1.0 (& means binary AND) [17:45] jMyles: Wikipedia has a few pages on netmasks and subnetting. [17:45] jMyles: Or just convert all those numbers to binary and you'll see everything. [17:45] jMyles: I've got a Network+ book sitting here in front of me... It's 2.5 inches thick and has a whole chapter about subnetting! [17:45] DasEi: but if i install the hardware drivers (fglrx) from the repos, i can use it properly.. [17:46] anyone know how to change the key repeat in gnome? lik eholding down W in games cause me to jerk not run [17:46] What driver can I use for PIXMA MP800 printer? [17:46] maverick: as is, there are rumors going on ad on about ati openig, but I also swtched to nv because of this, that card is supported open source very well, keep on asking for s.o. having it, fglrx an radeondriver is what you need [17:46] there are subnetting websites [17:46] JakobLaursen, have you seen http://www.openprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Canon-PIXMA_MP800 [17:46] i have a subneting app on my iphone [17:47] ZykoticK9: No.. I'll try it [17:47] jMyles: I hate to say it, but you're going to have to get a book or just google it! <-- I don't usually like to tell people this but in this case, it's the only practical suggestion! [17:47] maverick: just to calm you with los of "friggling" I even had my old x 1650 to do compiz [17:48] DasEi: so, shall i remove fglrx and install the open source drivers? [17:48] can someone help me configure grub to add windows to the list, its on a separate drive [17:48] DasEi: cool :D.. [17:48] rob_p: OK, I'll try again. I have tried in the past, but without a good real-life working example (and somebody to bonk me in the head and say "See! RIght there!") it's been tough for me to get a grasp [17:48] Getting an error in Xsane: "Failed to start scanner: Document feeder out of documents". It scans via flat-bed, but not threw the ADF which is what I want. Any help? [17:49] macbook: True, there are apps and sites that can calculate it for you. But if you want to *understand* what it's all about, you need to study it a bit. [17:49] rob_p: So for now, since I have the dhcp range from 10.0.0.50 to 10.0.0.150, where do I set the netmask? [17:49] I have ubuntu 9.10 and I can't mount my Android G1 phone, any idea? [17:49] yes rob_p i was also in a networking class, it would be hard to explain. without a whiteboard [17:49] i dont know ubentu [17:49] just now i installed [17:50] hey there [17:50] will you tell me how to record from myspace player??????????? === bharani is now known as Guest6227 [17:50] jMyles: You could use 255.255.255.0 if you only want 255... if you want more, adjust your subnet accordingly. [17:50] i want to format my pen drive [17:50] I'm using Karmic and I have some fodler in $HOME that have images on them, these are the special folders Public, Template, Documents. etc. How do I remove the images on these and just revert back to a normal folder icon? [17:50] maverick: I don't know for this card, I used fglrx wih open radeon on an 1650 [17:50] rob_p: Do you mean if I only want 255 simultaneous leases? What would the according adjustment be? [17:50] jMyles: meet me in Private chat [17:51] jMyles: For 10.0.0.0 - 10.0.255.255, you would use a netmask of 255.255.0.0. [17:51] i am experienced problems with mysql and karmic 64bit, i found this forum post (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1313834). can someone explain to me what exactly "I disabled the write barrier mode" means? [17:51] is there temrminal comment ther [17:51] rob_p: I see! [17:51] DasEi: google tells me that my card is supported, no harm in trying...removed fglrx just now..thank you :) [17:51] jMyles: 255.255.255.0 [17:51] how to format pen drive [17:51] Guest6227: mkfs [17:52] gparted [17:52] yes [17:52] tell me [17:52] can someone tell me how to get a process list? [17:52] so that i can kill amarok [17:52] which locks up constantly [17:52] just if i type mkfs [17:53] guest6227 System -> Administration -> Disk Utility [17:53] jMyles: You can further break it into different netmask/hostmask sizes by changing the bits in the subnet mask. But for your situation, just stick with something simple. [17:53] on my panel i have system monitor open tha up [17:53] in terminal it format my drive man [17:53] rob_p: Understood. [17:53] philyaw: top or htop [17:53] philyaw: top or htop [17:53] Guest6227: thats what mkfs does [17:53] philyaw: man ps [17:53] philyaw: ps -A | grep amarok [17:53] yeah amarok don't work so well on ubuntu.. kubuntu fine [17:53] these days i get quite a few Unlock Keyring request. is /usr/lib/telepathy/mission-control-5 a genuine one? [17:53] I think I just did an upgrade to 9.10!!! [17:53] how do i change the startup boot order n grub? [17:53] Is there a way I can check what version I'm running? [17:54] rob_p: I am getting dnsmasq: failed to bind listening socket for fe80::240:f4ff:fe58:738b: Address already in use [17:54] yeah 9.1 here on macbook everything is good [17:54] congrats, neezer [17:54] !version | neezer [17:54] neezer: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy » [17:54] these days i get quite a few Unlock Keyring request. is /usr/lib/telepathy/mission-control-5 a genuine one? [17:54] neezer uname -a [17:54] what do people here use for torrents on ubuntu, i don't think transmission is the best [17:54] ysmn2: It's in your /etc/default/grub file [17:54] It seems that to really manage an MD+LVM setup, one has to use the command-line [17:54] OerHeks: that's just kernel, not disto-info [17:55] macbook: Transmission, Delige, rtorrent... There is no "best". Transmission is just the simplest. [17:55] !torrent [17:55] Torrent clients: Transmission (GTK and terminal-based), Deluge-Torrent, Freeloader, BitStormLite, BitTornado-GUI (GTK), KTorrent (KDE), QTorrent (Qt), Azureus (Java), TorrentFlux (web-based), bittornado, rTorrent, cTorrent, bittorrent, aria2 (terminal-based) - FAQ: http://www.bittorrent.com/FAQ.html - See also !P2P [17:55] macbook: there are a bunch of alternatives, just search for torrent in add/remove programs? [17:55] macbook : try deluge if you don´t like transmission [17:55] OerHeks...that doesn't tell me, but lsb_release -a does. [17:55] I am indeed running 9.10!! [17:55] ysmn2: Change the, "GRUB_DEFAULT=0" to whatever you want the default to be. [17:55] Does anyone have any idea why the internal microphone on my ubuntu with skype doesn't work? [17:55] !firewall [17:55] yeah i really like utorrent [17:55] Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Uncomplicated_Firewall_ufw), or 'iptables' (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo). GUI applications such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist [17:55] on mac and windows [17:55] Lungan: most likely its muted? [17:55] ysmn2: Then run, "sudo update-grub" afterwards. [17:55] zig_: no, you first plan it, then use the alternate installer's manual partition [17:55] transmission does not dl at top speed, either does jdownloader [17:55] rob_p, what dose the zero repersent ? [17:56] DasEi: I mean, for recovery purposes. [17:56] things seem to be working though...I got the Ubuntu music when I logged in so that is good. I did have a lot of troubles with my sound setting up 9.04 so I'm glad the changes are still working. [17:56] jMyles: Sounds like another process is bound to it. Are you sure you killed the dhcp3-server process? [17:56] Anyone already on 10.04 (Lucid)? [17:56] ysmn2: 0 is the first entry, 1 is the second, etc. [17:56] DasEi, how can I use top and man ps together... is man ps to make "top" not display a never-ending list? [17:56] ssix: ask in #ubuntu+1 [17:57] is lucid the new ubuntu [17:57] macbook : you can run utorrent in wine but I don´t see reason to do that [17:57] :1 [17:57] macbook: It's the current Alpha release that will be release in april [17:57] 1: [17:57] 1 [17:57] lucid is the _development_ version of ubuntu, which will be the next ubuntu [17:57] When booting ubuntu server, I get a blank screen unless I use the recovery option. Once booted, modprobe radeonfb gives me a nice high res console. How can I fix that? [17:57] rob_p, thanks man [17:57] philyaw: No, 'man ps' is to open the manual page of 'ps'. [17:57] ysmn2: welcome [17:57] !ps [17:57] grawity, what is ps? [17:58] philyaw: I'll answer this question with "run 'man ps' and you'll know" [17:58] rob_p: I removed the package, but ps ax shows dhclient running. [17:58] jMyles: You aren't running bind9 on it are you? If so, that will conflict with dnsmasq. [17:58] rob_p: Perhaps it's better to just reboot. [17:58] philyaw: ps - report a snapshot of the current processes [17:58] ardchoille, for the developers? like bug report? [17:58] jMyles: dhclient is just a client process... probably for the WAN interface on your box. [17:58] philyaw: man ps [17:59] I have another question. [17:59] rob_p: Yes, I am very sorry, I was running bind9, as per the instructions on the ubuntu wiki. I have stopped the process and removed the package, and dnsmasq now restarts successfully. [17:59] philyaw: Translated to plain English, it's "ps - display a list of all currently running processes" [17:59] philyaw: no, rob (^above ) told you already the syntax of ps; man shows the manual of a command, just enter man ps in trml to see [17:59] In konquorer or forefox streaming videos don't have sound, yet my sound still works [17:59] jMyles: Cool. Yeah, you won't be needing bind9 now! :-) [17:59] ohhhhhhhhh [18:00] * grawity is so tempted to say "RTFM" for once. [18:00] how is ps different from top [18:00] grawity, don't be Debian [18:00] grawity: accepted ;-) [18:00] ssix: neither should stuff be spoonfed [18:00] jMyles: dnsmasq is pretty slick. Sorta all-in-one service... well, several in one, I guess. But yeah, it makes life easier. [18:00] does anybody have full access to hfs drive read/write [18:01] :O [18:01] jMyles: So now you need to test it out. Put a client on it and configure the client to obtain a DHCP lease. [18:01] I cannot connect to Windows share with correct name/pass, any ideas anyone? [18:01] ppl ? [18:01] something with samba [18:02] How do I set my file extensions back up so that Audacity quits opening my MP3s? [18:02] DasEi: Is the password empty? [18:02] philyaw: Right-click on a .mp3 file, choose Properties. There's a tab where you can choose an application. [18:02] !antivirus [18:02] Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux, except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus [18:02] eh. [18:02] drizzt__: is the password empty? [18:02] these days i get quite a few Unlock Keyring request. is /usr/lib/telepathy/mission-control-5 a genuine one? [18:03] grawity: no, of course [18:03] grawity, thank you! === pipegeek1 is now known as pipegeek [18:03] on Linux you use anti-rootits instead of antiviruses [18:05] !nfs [18:05] nfs is the network file system.

[18:09] philyaw: ps -p filters by the process ids that follow that argument. [18:09] TheGamer81: Yes. [18:09] philyaw, perhaps "ps -A" [18:09] philyaw: -p needs pidlist [18:09] jMyles: That's a message regarding your external interface (probably). How does the box get it's IP address and Internet connection? Are you sure it's still plugged into your modem/router? [18:09] Ok because I am having problems with ubuntu locking up. [18:10] I now samba is PoS, but how can I troubleshoot my connection probem? [18:10] rob_p: I'm sorry I wasn't clear: I'm getting this message on a client. The server gets its IP address just fine and can connect to the internet. It is plugged directly into a cable modem. [18:10] It locks up after about 5 minutes after boot. [18:10] zykotick9, that worked, but is there a way to get a list sorted in a better way? [18:10] jMyles: I see. [18:10] I used pppconfig to set up GPRS via mobile cell phone with Bluetooth. 'sudo pon provider-gprs' sets up the connection. But, the Empathy doesn't use such Internet access. [18:11] Should I run 'sudo empathy' to be able to use my IRC account? [18:11] philyaw, typically i would use something like "ps -aux | grep WHATI'MLOOKINGFOR" [18:12] jMyles: What address to you have assigned to your "internal" interface? Can you manually configure another host on the network with an address in the same network and ping the server's internal IP? === jon is now known as Guest69478 [18:12] why -aux? [18:12] philyaw: Options -a -u and -x [18:12] ohh [18:12] philyaw, habit mainly - but it shows more info (who owns process etc) [18:13] 'ps aux' (NOT 'ps -aux') means 'display all processes, including user information, and including processes without ttys" [18:13] (The dash before 'aux' is incorrect. I see that way too often...) [18:13] jMyles: It's assumed that you have statically assigned an address within your, "private" local network, to the server's internal interface. [18:13] zykotick9, does the | tell it i'm doing another command right after ps -aux? [18:13] grawity: ps aux == ps -aux [18:13] !? === Guest69478 is now known as jmhsieh [18:13] ssix: Not exactly [18:13] philyaw, yes that's a pipe [18:14] ssix: 'ps -aux' displays this: "Warning: bad ps syntax, perhaps a bogus '-'? See http://procps.sf.net/faq.html" [18:14] jMyles: Your network settings will reside in /etc/network/interfaces [18:14] PS [18:14] grawity: My gnome-terminal displays the same thing as ps aux [18:14] * grawity facepalms. [18:14] mine too [18:14] I'm using kDE though [18:14] jMyles: Make sure you've statically assigned an address to the internal interface. [18:14] And neither of you thought to scroll up a little? [18:14] How can I start a KATE document from the terminal? [18:14] philyaw: kate foo.txt & [18:15] grawity: did that just now ^^ that's for having the scrollbar disabled xD [18:15] when i execute some mysql estatment the output is very ugly.

Now if i installed Apache2 on ubuntu box with ip 192.168.1.101 how can i redirect it!? do i have to change the port that apache listen to?! [18:16] ssix: basically, there are two different option sets for ps... if you use the dash, 'ps' thinks you are giving it UNIX-style options. If there's no dash, it's BSD-style. === Biohazard is now known as Bioh [18:16] ssix: And '-aux' doesn't make much sense then. Actually, this is the very first thing in ps' manpage. [18:16] had somewhat experienced with samba here? I'm trying to connect to WinXP share, but getting invalid password error [18:17] aafuentes2: try #mysql? [18:17] McL0VIN: you should probably be accessing your router remotely *only* over HTTPS, which DD-WRT supports. That frees up port 80.

Yes the internal address is static, but it's in the 192.168.x.x range [18:19] acicula: Ideally, yes. I certainely wouldn't have my router's config accessible to the world via standard HTTP. [18:19] wrapster: 32-bit systems cannot address more than 4 GB of RAM by default -- either you get 64-bit, or you somehow enable a thing called PAE. [18:19] jMyles: That's your problem! [18:19] grawity: 32. is that the reason [18:19] Hmm [18:19] !pae [18:19] rob_p: https doesnt make it any safer [18:20] grawity: no info on PAE, huh!? [18:20] acicula: It is, when your neighbour discovers tcpdump [18:20] wrapster: you can install server-kernel on 32 bit, coming with pae support by default [18:20] !howinthehelldoienablepae [18:20] jMyles: You need to change it to somethign in the 10.0.0.0/24 network (if you subnetted with 255.255.255.0). [18:20] grawity Help me with empathy which can not use internet started with 'sudo pon provider1' [18:20] acicula: Yes, it does. [18:20] DasEi: which pkg does it belong to? [18:20] I'm trying to connect to WinXP share, but getting invalid password error in the loop!! [18:21] suchaprettyboy: I don't use Empathy, I don't use pppconfig, I don't know what is "provider1", and I have no idea why are you asking me about it. [18:21] the name of a provider is not default and i'm not in a 'dip' group and have to run pppd as superuser [18:21] wrapster: pae = physical address extension, it's the server-kernel [18:21] wrapster: synaptic or apt-cache search [18:21] acicula: But I agree that it's not too smart to be configuring your home router over the 'Net unless you have reason to. In that case, I use VPN. [18:21] rob_p: and then the netmask for the internal iface will stay 255.255.255.0 right? and what of the network and broadcast? [18:21] jMyles: yes [18:22] !info linux-image-generic-pae [18:22] linux-image-generic-pae (source: linux-meta): Generic Linux kernel image. In component main, is optional. Version 2.6.31.17.30 (karmic), package size 3 kB, installed size 32 kB (Only available for i386 amd64 lpia all) [18:22] àîå [18:22] rob_p: it just encrypts your connection, unfortunatly you are more likely to get owned because of poorly implemented software on the router then your neighbour sniffing your password because it was unencrypted(provided thats even possible) [18:23] rob_p: yeah forcing authentication via vpn is much safer in that respect [18:23] [18:23] jMyles: The convention (if there is one) would be to put your gateway box at say, 10.0.0.1 with a netmask of 255.255.255.0 and make sure your dhcp server hand out IPs starting somewhere above there (like 10.0.0.10 - 10.0.0.254).

Version 2.6.31.17.30 (karmic), package size 3 kB, installed size 32 kB (Only available for i386 amd64 lpia all) [18:24] DasEi: yeah [18:24] got the link.. a few pkgs need to be installed... [18:24] rob_p: Is it OK if the gateway is at 10.0.0.46? We are naming the gateway after a professor who recently passed away - she was born in 46. [18:24] DasEi: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/ubuntu-linux-4gb-ram-limitation-solution/ [18:24] acicula: DD-WRT is probably a fairly robust implimentation of the HTTPS protocol though. If I had to rely on it for a short time, I wouldn't have too much heartburn. [18:24] rob_p: its not SSL thats the problem [18:25] What would happen if you ran mdadm --remove /dev/md0 /dev/sda1 then resized the logical volumes @ sda1, then added it to md0 again? [18:25] rob_p: The client now gets an IP, but still cannot see the outside world. [18:25] Hey [18:25] rob_p: its the webservers serving crappy secured pages to everyone who will connect, http or https ;) [18:25] Would it break? [18:25] jMyles: Yes. Just make sure it's out of the range of addresses that get handed out by the server. [18:25] wrapster: by using one of the mentioned kernels apt wil solve everything needed and aslo update grub [18:25] i would have so gone with the 64bit ubuntu to eliminate all these hassles.. but quite a few pkgs dont seem to work well [18:25] rob_p: Yeah, I figured it needed to be below that range. [18:25] im trying to configure my dhcp server on ubuntu but it keeps failing... how can i find out which dhcp.conf file the bloody program is actually using when trying to start? [18:25] DasEi: ok.. thanks [18:25] acicula: I've never had that problem with DD-WRT. [18:26] rob_p: well as far as the software stack on router go i suppose DD-WRT probably isnt too bad no [18:26] wrapster: last time I hassled with 64 bit more than 32 was hardy, since then, no probs [18:26] rob_p: Interestingly, I can now ping the gateway from its outside IP address - perhaps there is a dns issue that is preventing the clients from resolving domain names? [18:26] How can I get a volume slider icon next to my time on Xubuntu? [18:26] How can I open downloaded packages using KPackage Kit [18:26] acicula: The "stack" is the Linux kernel's networking stack so I hope so! [18:27] From the web, it keeps wanting to use GPackage something [18:27] Aled: right click on the panel and hit "Add to Panel..." [18:27] Aled: right click bar, add to panel [18:27] rob_p: On the other hand, I can't seem to ping other outside ip addresses [18:27] jMyles: So did you successfully get a DHCP lease on a client, from the server? [18:28] DasEi: but for some reason .. skype wont work.. I could see the quite a few pkg crashed... so had to switch back to 32 [18:28] anyway later I'll give it a try i guess... [18:28] rob_p: Yep! :-) Just need to get to the outside world now. [18:28] with the new ubuntu realease some time [18:28] jMyles: Ok, you're 90% there now! [18:28] What is a command to see system info, if there is any? [18:28] jMyles: You need to configure forwarding in the kernel. [18:29] wrapster: idk, just for fun I set up sype a month ago on a 64 bit vm, no problems at all ( but I followed a guide) [18:29] rob_p: with sysctrl? [18:30] I'm trying to connect to WinXP share, but getting invalid password error in the loop... [18:30] jMyles: You can configure it in the sysctl config (for persistancy) but this will immediately allow forwarding: [18:30] echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward [18:30] jMyles: echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward [18:30] DasEi: could you please give me that guid? [18:30] rob_p: permission denied, even with sud [18:30] *sudo [18:30] DasEi: if you have? [18:30] DasEi, there are none like what I want [18:30] rob_p: however, cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward returns 1 [18:31] theadmin: There are several; what sort of info are you looking for? [18:31] Hey Hi [18:31] the default one in Ubuntu is the one I want, the one in there you have to click on in which is brings up a new window to change the volume [18:31] hello, I have a friend with ubuntu 9.10 on his gateway p-6831-fx and his sound isn't working. has anyone ran into this problem before? we had the same trouble in 9.04 and his audio controller IS listed in lshw [18:31] Anyone has an idea why the internal mic on my laptop doesn't work on ubuntu? [18:31] I have a question. [18:31] rob_p: Do I need to allow this conduct with iptables? [18:31] rob_p: pm [18:31] MenZa: Well, say, CPU speed and, uh, I guess power? and amount of RAM. [18:31] !sound | enduser000 , have a look here for a checklist/troubleshoot guide [18:31] enduser000 , have a look here for a checklist/troubleshoot guide: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer).

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [18:31] acicula: thank you [18:32] theadmin: 'sudo lshw' will give you a lot of info, presumably most of the stuff you want [18:32] Is ubottu case sensitive? [18:32] Lartza_: No. [18:32] jMyles: You will need to configure a few forwarding rules, yes. [18:32] MenZa: Uh... why do I need to be root to do that? [18:32] jMyles: But you need to set the forwarding flag in the kernel before it will allow any forwarding. [18:32] theadmin: It needs to read from a couple of places where only root has read permissions. 'lshw' as a user will give you partial results. [18:32] rob_p: OK, well I get permission denied, but the value appears to be 1 anyway. [18:32] theadmin: For the record, it stands for 'list hardware' [18:33] Anyone has an idea why the internal mic on my laptop doesn't work on ubuntu? [18:33] NOTICE - If you couldn't speak to the channel during the past minutes, please try again now. [18:33] How can I use the feature of 3D flip with Ubuntu???? [18:33] NOTICE - If you couldn't speak to the channel during the past minutes, please try again now. [18:33] navin: You mean the cube? [18:33] rob_p: Customer - brb [18:33] Wow, cool thing... WAY detailed.... Awesomeness. [18:33] jMyles: k [18:34] ssh jae@lmssql "for file in \"$cntSubPath2a\"/*.csv; do echo \"${file}.zip\"; done" <-- anyone know why that wouldn't work? It can't find the files that are listed in that path. I think it has something to do with remote vs local, but I'm not positive. [18:34] theadmin: Indeed. You can do 'sudo lshw | less' if you want it to be a bit easier to read through. [18:34] I just did a fresh install of Ubuntu 9.10 x86_64, installed compiz-settings-manager but havn't touched it yet. However, I can't switch workspaces by flicking the mouse wheel like I did in 9.04. Anyone got an idea how I can bring it back? [18:34] I don't understand less though, MenZa, I preffer more. [18:35] the_real_dave: Yeah you have to install compiz for that to work. [18:35] NOTICE - If you couldn't speak to the channel during the past minutes, please try again now. [18:35] most is also kind of cool, in the world of less and more. [18:35] Flare183: compiz is installed and working, but the switching isn't :( === BlouBlou is now known as xD [18:36] the_real_dave: ok. Compiz Config Settings Manager is gonna have to be installed then. [18:36] Flare183: it is. What must I change in it? [18:36] How do I fix it to where my sound works with my browser and Miro [18:36] theadmin: I was disconnected === xD is now known as BlouBlou [18:37] My sound doesn't work on youtube and such [18:37] DasEi2: Huh? Why me? [18:37] theadmin: which info you wanted to gather ? [18:37] the_real_dave: Let me check hold on [18:37] DasEi2: We figured that already, thanks, lshw does it [18:37] does anyone know what this error message means? (fahmon:5192): Gtk-WARNING **: gtk_widget_size_allocate(): attempt to allocate widget with width -5 and height 17 [18:38] theadmin: fine [18:38] Flare183: thank you :) I apologise if I don't respond straight away [18:38] I installed 9.10 on new system. Seems to "freeze" for a second at a time. cant move mouse cursor. More intense when I launch an application and there is a lot of i/o. This is a 2.2gig cpu with 2-gig mem and a sata drive. [18:38] I get it when I open fahmon via ssh. I use the -X switch when ssh'ing. the window comes up alright though. I just get the error message too. [18:40] * Claudiu__ is away: Away fo now .. [18:40] rob_p: OK, I'm back. So yeah, not sure what to do about the forwarding thing. [18:40] Ok. Try another question. Is there a way to initiate a zip command over ssh? [18:40] cognitiaclaeves: what do you mean exactly? [18:40] the_real_dave: ok, its in the Rotate Cube Plugin, on the bindings tab [18:40] cognitiaclaeves: same as in local trml [18:41] !away > Claudiu__ [18:41] Claudiu__, please see my private message [18:41] jMyles: With sudo, you have to play a trick to get it to write the contents of a command to a priv'd file. [18:41] is there a way i can make a folder availale to all computers on my home network? [18:41] jMyles: Try this: sudo sh -c "echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward" [18:41] rob_p: I'm sorry for the unending curiosity, but what is priv'd? [18:41] kl' [18:41] ssh jae@lmssql "for file in \"$cntSubPath2a\"/*.csv; do echo \"${file}.zip\"; done" <-- Isn't working. But it looks like it would work locally.

And what does privileged mean in this context? [18:42] Flare183: I'm not using the cube, so that plugin is disabled. I'm just using desktop wall. It used always work in Jaunty lol :) [18:42] ( Substituting the path for the variable does work locally. ) [18:42] !hi | wig0 [18:42] wig0: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines . Enjoy your stay! [18:42] cognitiaclaeves: well is there are any reason $cntSubPath2a would be expanded correctly remotely? [18:42] the_real_dave: Ah ok.. Hmmm [18:42] jMyles: ...as in a file that is only accessible/writable by a privileged user (root in this case). [18:42] can you telle me where is the wallpapers's file for ubuntu ? [18:42] tell [18:42] rob_p: OK, that worked. Do I need to restart networking on one or both computers? [18:42] jrib: Would be, or would not be? It's within quotes, I don't know why it wouldn't be. [18:42] jMyles: No [18:42] wig0: wallpapers are kept in /usr/share/backgrounds [18:42] oh [18:42] Flare183: ya, its a bit weird alright :S There doesn't seem to be much in Viewport switcher either [18:43] very french thx :) [18:43] cognitiaclaeves: well where is it defined? [18:43] !fr | wig0 [18:43] wig0: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr [18:43] rob_p: ping ubuntu.com still gives unknown host. [18:43] jrib: I got an error saying that sharing service is not installed. [18:43] Now you just need some forwarding rules. You will use the iptables tool for it, or you can use one of the many configurators out there. [18:43] on this server ? [18:43] the_real_dave: I understand what you mean. I can't get compiz working fully on my desktop. [18:43] wig0: Yes [18:43] neezer: what ubuntu version? [18:43] 9.10 [18:43] theres a french chan on freenode too [18:43] is there a way to make my computer to act as a wifi modem? [18:43] I am logged in via ssh though. [18:43] jMyles: First, can the server box itself ping google.com? [18:44] cognitiaclaeves: or do you believe the shell expands it before sending out? Does the command work okay if you expand it yourself? [18:44] rob_p: yes. [18:44] jMyles: Ok. [18:44] jrib: I'm printing it out before executing the command. It prints correctly. [18:44] and I just used nautilus as the command and the window opens up. [18:44] So, how familiar with iptables are you? [18:44] oops [18:44] jMyles: So, how familiar with iptables are you? [18:45] rob_p: I need to become more familiar. I understand what it is, but I'm not 100% on how it works. [18:45] is there a way to make my computer to be able to give wifi connection [18:45] jrib: Ok. Sadly, I haven't tried to execute it remotely with just the path and not a variable. I'll give that a shot. ( I was thinking there was an issue with the way I did the loop. ) [18:45] how do I find what groups I am in via ssh on ubuntu server 9.10? [18:45] Dravekx: ^login, id [18:45] groups [18:46] just type groups? [18:46] yes [18:46] just type groups. [18:46] or "id" [18:46] oh cool. [18:46] yeah that works too (more info anyway) [18:46] jMyles: Basically, the Linux Kernel uses netfilter for packet filtering/inspection/forwarding. Netfilter is configured via a utility called iptables. It's a very syntax-intensive utility and not extremely, "user-friendly" as I've heard some say... [18:46] anyone using logwatch [18:47] am having a problem where logwatch is not cleaining up the files it uses in the /tmp and is filling up my drive. [18:47] jMyles: But if you don't want to delve into it, there are utilities that can do it for you. Or, just look up some examples. [18:47] cognitiaclaeves: how are you determining it's not working by the way? [18:47] rob_p: Oh no, I want to delve :-) [18:47] cognitiaclaeves: the problem seems to be file in the for is expanded in the shell before you send it to the server === gbutler_ is now known as gbutler [18:48] rob_p: If you can just tell me what modifications I need to make and why they work, that will help me understand immensely. [18:48] cognitiaclaeves: so the for works correctly on the remote host, but ${file} is already expanded, so not how you want it to [18:48] jMyles: It's going to be a couple or three one-liners to get basic NAT up and running. [18:48] jrib: The shell is telling me the file can't be found. [18:48] trism: Ok, that sounds right. [18:48] How can I check my domain name? [18:48] jMyles: I'll have to dig up some... stby. [18:49] cognitiaclaeves: right, I suppose you want single quotes [18:49] I'm trying to do a share from my server to my laptop, and for some reason I can't access the shared folder. [18:49] rob_p: I suspect this page has what you are looking for: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing [18:49] is the admin group: adm or admin? [18:49] Dravekx: admin [18:49] ok. I think I see now. Thanks. [18:49] as in administrators. [18:49] what is adm? [18:49] !who | neezer [18:49] Does the /etc/adobe/mms.cfg tweak still apply to Flash 10.1? Supposedly I can get smooth full screen video by adding a line: OverrideGPUValidation=1 [18:49] neezer: 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 :) [18:50] Trying to get an iPod nano3g working in rhythmbox. it's not 'just working' like everything suggests it should. Rhythmbox sees the device, but nothing ON the device (though it knows how many songs it has). gtkpod sees it ok [18:50] Dravekx: http://www.linuxsecurity.com/resource_files/host_security/securing-debian-howto/ch8.en.html [18:50] any ideas on something to try [18:52] jrib, sorry about that. I'm trying to share my Pictures folder from my server. I made it a share by installing samba, and when I go to Places -> network on my laptop the folder shows up. When I double click on Pictures to open the folder, I get a window asking for username, domain, and password. I have tried different passwords, but I'm not sure if the domain is right. [18:52] mercy: You should see if rhythmnbox has a channel and ask there too. [18:52] jrib, is there a way I can check to see if the domain is correct? [18:52] Has anyone been able to get full screen Flash to actually run smoothly on Linux? I have an 8600GT, Flash 10.1. [18:53] no, doesnt [18:53] neezer: don't know, never had to deal with that [18:53] I'm trying to connect to WinXP share, but getting invalid password error in the loop... [18:53] jrib, thanks [18:54] jMyles: Ok, here are a few that should get you working: http://pastebin.com/f23c9aae1 [18:54] I'm doing this for a friend. Oddly her ipod works on my netbook with 9.10 installed, but not her desktop, and I can't figure out what I did differently [18:54] can i use remote-controll thing from behind a router? (the 1 im connecting to is behind a router)? [18:54] (without port-forwarding*) [18:55] something also nuked her playlists, which is aggravating [18:55] what command can i use to get the sum of the file sizes of all files in a directory? [18:55] du -h [18:55] marshall: du -sh /dir [18:55] marshall: du -s ? [18:55] rob_p: What do each of these do? For the first one - what is the outside IP changes? [18:56] jMyles: That will be the IP address of your external interface on the server [18:56] is it possible to run shell scripts from HTTP? [18:56] marshall: go with llutz du -sh /dir/* [18:56] cawas: wihtou /* [18:56] without [18:57] so guess the question is how do I figure out what is subtly different between our two systems [18:57] Need some guidance on non responsive computer. One to three second periods. no mouse response. Any clues? Most noticable after launching any application. [18:57] problem with clickable button in dialog box using eclipse IDE. [18:57] jMyles: The first rule sets up source-NAT. The second one allows forwarding from the internal inteface/network, out the external one (which then the source NAT get's applied). [18:57] someone has this problem?????? [18:57] llutz: i just tried both, i like it better with * [18:57] cawas: sum was asked, so no * :) [18:57] thanks llutz, cawas and jrib [18:57] thanks trism, jrib. [18:58] llutz: and he didn't specify he was human! [18:58] jrib: you win :( [18:58] llutz: now i see your point. yeah. [18:58] rob_p: So my outside address is 24.39.111.57 - I enter this into iptables? what if it changes? [18:58] llutz: but I go with jrib on that one :P [18:58] anyone here any good at configuring dhcp server? [18:58] Flare183: What do you mean you cant get compiz working "fully"? [18:58] jMyles: The third one allows forwarding back in from the outside to the inside. === Robin is now known as Guest83452 [18:59] the_real_dave: You can fix it by setting ccsm->Viewport Switcher->Desktop-based Viewport Switching->Move Next/Move Prev to Button4/Button5 respectively [18:59] how do I create a new group? [18:59] groupadd? [18:59] Dravekx: addgroup [18:59] soreau: Like my desktop is black. You can't see the icons. But everything else works. [18:59] jMyles: That's why you *really* should have static IP's for your server box. Perhaps you can set up a masq rule that will handle the changing of external IPs better. [19:00] soreau: Thank you! :) [19:00] Crap. Still no smooth Flash full screen on Linux. Someone out there must have a tweak that works. [19:00] jMyles: That would go in place of the source NAT rule, as I recall... [19:00] so, anyone could give me better keywords to search for "running shell script through HTTP"? :o [19:00] jMyles: You will have to look it up. All my stuff is static IPs so I just use source NAT. [19:01] rob_p: Well a static ip costs $539 from my ISP. :-( [19:01] Flare183: Sounds like you just need to start nautilus or enable its show_desktop option, or, set a wallpaper in the wallpaper plugin in ccsm [19:01] I'm running ubuntu-9.10-desktop-amd64 with libflashplayer.so 10.0r42 installed in my homedir from Adobe's tarballs, and if I leave Firefox open over a day or two, it eats up all my memory and swap. Anyone know a fix? [19:01] cawas: afaik, you cannot. use php, perl ... [19:01] jMyles: Get a new ISP!

[19:02] malsyned, wait until Adobe finally releases the source code for Flash in about 30 years. [19:02] i'm talking commercial [19:02] soreau: I'll show you what I'm talking about [19:03] fromWinToLin, by that point, all of these videos on Hulu I want to watch will have expired. [19:03] jMyles: That sucks. I'd look for maybe a WISP that could do it for you. [19:03] Flare183: I dont need a screenshot, I know exactly what you mean [19:03] soreau: oh Alright. :) [19:03] Hi there, not to be like everyone else that comes in here, but I need some help in backing up my hard drive data using ubuntu, I'm following a guide on howtogeek, but I'm having problems with workgroups - mainly due to my non-knowledge. [19:03] cawas: I used to live in Brasil. [19:03] rob_p: We are looking to eventually become a WISP :-) [19:03] malsyned, does Flash on full screen even play smoothly for you and not peg your CPU at 100%?

[19:03] rob_p: if you were at Sao Paulo, I'd also love to "used to live". can't wait to get out of here. [19:03] jMyles: Sadly... been there, and done it! [19:04] soreau: Nah ask away. I'm open to answering them :) [19:04] rob_p: Oh?! [19:04] Flare183, does the livecd work on your system [19:04] Flare183: Well I already asked one and you havent answered it yet [19:04] fromWinToLin, yeah, flash plays fine fullscreen and doesn't peg my CPU that I've noticed. [19:04] rob_p: Ok, got the iptables rules in there. [19:04] how do I assign a specific group full access to a specific directory? === allhailthegeek_ is now known as AllHailTheGeek [19:04] hwilde: Yup === hhlp_ is now known as hhlp [19:04] hwilde, my normal OS isn't Ubuntu, I'm just booting it from CD to back up some specific data. [19:04] Is there a simple program that I can point at an RSS Stream and have it pop up notifications when new things happen? [19:04] cawas: I lived in Sao Paulo (santo amaro area) and also Campo Grande in Mato Grosso do Sul. Loved it there! [19:04] Flare183, did you try turning off all the special effects in appearnaces [19:04] chown?

Thanks! [19:05] :) [19:05] malsyned, what video card do you have? I'm on a dual-core, 8600GT, 2 GB of RAM. Flash plays super smoothly on Windows XP, but this same computer, it's sluggish on Linux. [19:05] llutz: php n' perl would be cool... that's a nice hint, i'll look for scripts along those lines. I guess they can run their own shell scripts. [19:05] Hi, how can I get Ubuntu to *NOT* replace compiz with metacity at random? [19:05] Nalleman, right-click on the video file > Properties > Open With [19:05] jMyles: So I presume you've got them in a file... Now make the file executable (chmod 755 ./filename) and then run it (./filename). [19:06] fromWinToLin, nVidia Corporation G92 [GeForce 9800 GT] [19:06] I'm trying to fathom the whole "connect to a workgroup" thing, but my knowledge is next to nothing, I've googled, but not found anything helpful. I'm just trying to back up around 7gb data on another pc. [19:06] hwilde: Actually right now I'm using metacity. Not compiz, and if I switch to compiz my desktop goes black. But I can open up the my home folder and I see all my files. No matter what I do with the graphical interface, the desktop remains black [19:06] banished: That probably means compiz is crashing. Which video driver are you using? [19:06] fromWinToLin, yes, but now i have to do that every time [19:06] * Flare183 is thinking it might be the driver. [19:06] soreau: nvidia [19:06] how do i find out what verion of fglrx im running? [19:06] fromWinToLin, i would like to have VLC defalut [19:06] fromWinToLin, this is my work desktop. I also have a home desktop running 9.10, but the 32-bit version, with the same flashplayer configuration, and it has never given me this kind of trouble. [19:06] rob_p: I live in Santo Amaro for too long. as for the rest, yeah, it sounds lovely. for how long you've been in SP? [19:06] unop, that wont change other group access to the directory will it? [19:07] Nalleman, not right-click > Open With. Right-click > Properties > Open With. There's a difference. [19:07] cawas: I left there in 1993. Long time ago! [19:07] rob_p: I'm sorry, I just ran them from the terminal. [19:07] banished: Install compiz-dbg package, enable crash handler in ccsm, then the next time it happens, look in /tmp for a crash log. You can show it in #compiz or file a bug report with it [19:07] aaah, ok.. didnt notice. sorry. thanks ;) [19:07] malsyned, go to an HD YouTube video, full screen it, and then move the mouse cursor around. Watch what happens. [19:07] jMyles: No problem. It'll still work. [19:07] Dravekx, well, it might, the group that owned the directory before you ran this command might not be able to access it [19:08] jMyles: But you will need them to run every time the machine boots up otherwise the kernel won't have forwarding rules configured. [19:08] Can anyone at all help me with issues regarding joining a workgroup to transfer data using ubuntu booted from a cd please? [19:08] rob_p: So what's the solution? Put them in a file and put the file in rc.local? === tato is now known as tato42 [19:08] jMyles: That'll work. [19:08] unop, i dont want that, I just want this new group I created to have full access to the specific dir. [19:08] Hi am trying to add gpg key for the wicd repository on 8.04 and it fails, I get this message in verbose mode: "cannot write to 'wicd.gpg' (broken pipe)" [19:08] Does anyone know if the package pure-ftpd-mysql on ubuntu installs the tls support?because i've been unable to configure it [19:09] jMyles: Gotta take a standby... I'm at work too! :-) [19:09] how do i find out what verion of fglrx im running? [19:09] jMyles: brb [19:09] rob_p: that's when I was getting my first zips (born in 1981) and actually moving to Sto Amaro due to the school my mother chose to us. how you ended up there? [19:09] rob_p: OK, thanks so much [19:09] success kde removed clean [19:09] fromWinToLin, well, my mouse is fine, but one of my two CPUs is pegged and the video is unwatchably jerky. So, yeah, wow, that's no good. [19:10] malsyned, you see? [19:10] malsyned, Adobe is dragging its feet with Linux support. [19:10] fromWinToLin, but that particular issue hasn't been plaguing me until just now. The real issue is the memory leak. I'm not positive it's related to flash, even, but I thought I'd mention it since it's the one non-free component in my browser. [19:10] I am Having problem with a new install. Screen and mouse momentarily non-responsive when starting applications. [19:11] Dravekx, well, this is where unix permissions run into a bit of a problem, my suggestion here is to use ACLs - but i'm no expert at them [19:11] What are the configuration files for my bash program as a single user? Is it /etc/bash/.bashrc? [19:11] malsyned: have u tried Opera? [19:12] how do i find out what verion of fglrx im running? [19:12] bullgard, Your own bash config is in your home directory. [19:13] bullgard, ~/.bashrc [19:13] bullgard: ~/.profile and .bashrc (read man bash) [19:13] !fglrx [19:13] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [19:13] fglrxinfo [19:14] Please give a dummy example for a GPG key passphrase. I don't know what can be a fairly good and easy to remember passphrase to create my first PGP key. I mean in terms of length and CAPITAL-SMALL or alphanumeric or spaces or characters like "," etc? [19:14] so, if I have a group of users, and I want them to have full access to a dir, I cant do it without altering other group permissions? [19:14] malsyned, don't forget. There are a ton of other web browsers to try. Of course, I still think Firefox 3.5 is the best. Firefox, Chromium, Midori, Arora, Operate, Konqueror, etc. [19:14] hi! where should I ask for powermanagement stuff? something's resetting my cpu scaling (scaling_max_freq) when I *connect* AC power [19:14] *Opera [19:15] can anyone please help me connect ubuntu to a workgroup? I really need help. [19:15] fromWinToLin, Yeah, I'm pretty happy with Firefox. I'd rather not switch browsers if I can avoid it. I didn't know if anyone knew of any things to try to stop the memory leaks. I think I'll try running a copy of FF with Flash disabled and see if it also eats memory or not. [19:15] tpassive, its probably acpi related [19:15] !samba | Robin77 [19:15] Robin77: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/9.10/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. [19:15] saji: Thank you very much for your help. === asd_ is now known as Guest65220 [19:15] malsyned, you can also try out Swiftfox or Swiftweasel. They use the same Firefox source code. [19:15] I did apt-get remove jdk, to install it by hand...and when I run java its show the version the I allready have removed...someone know how do I set the correct of java to run when i call java? [19:16] jMyles: Back but only for a min. [19:16] bullgard, you're welcome.. :) [19:16] malsyned, they're not as well integrated into Ubuntu, but I use Swiftfox. [19:16] rob_p: OK, things seem to be working now, but client still can't resolve outside domain names. [19:16] rob_p: client can connect to outside ip addresses. [19:16] fromWinToLin, what's the difference? [19:16] hello [19:16] The guide i'm following doesnt' seem to mention samba [19:16] i would like to know where i can find the tun module for ubuntu ? [19:16] I'm trying to connect to WinXP share, but getting invalid password error in the loop [19:16] jMyles: Is the client a Linux box? [19:17] i tried to aptitude search it bu i didn't found it [19:17] malsyned, Swiftfox might not have as much an issue with memory leaks. Not 100% sure. Both of those browsers are compiled differently, and optimized for certain CPUs. Maybe it will help with your memory leak problem. [19:17] rob_p: surely is. [19:17] fromWinToLin, thanks, I'll try it. [19:17] sine ibe [19:17] Robin77: What guide are you following? [19:17] malsyned, http://getswiftfox.com/deb.htm [19:17] some one [19:17] http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/use-ubuntu-live-cd-to-backup-files-from-your-dead-windows-computer/ [19:17] jMyles: Open a command prompt and type, "dig" on the client box. [19:18] It seems to be as simple as they come, and yet I can't seem to make any progress on the transferring over workgroup stage [19:18] everyone for the tun module ? [19:18] rob_p: connection timed out; no servers could be reached. [19:18] nameless`, what is this 'tun' module for? [19:18] jMyles: Also, what does, "cat /etc/resolv.conf" from the client box, give you? [19:18] saji: tunneling interface [19:19] how to set /tmp to ramdisk? [19:19] rob_P: it gives nameserver 10.0.0.46, which is the ip addy of the gateway [19:19] hwilde: thanks.. but even after stopping all acpi stuff it still happens [19:19] I did apt-get remove jdk, to install it by hand...and when I run java its show the version the I allready have removed...someone know how do I set the correct of java to run when i call java? [19:19] jMyles: Should be working then. Hmmm... [19:19] some one [19:20] tpassive, well if you want to be extreme, set kernel option acpi=off in grub menu.lst. that will REALLY turn all acpi off [19:20] Robin77: What exactly are you trying to do? [19:20] nameless`, Check this- http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=12088 [19:20] hwilde: will probably do this.. thx [19:20] rob_p: tcpdump during the dig showed this: IP margaret.local > 10.0.0.63: ICMP margaret.local udp port domain unreachable, length 53 [19:20] two and a half hours I've been here trying to figur eout this ipod [19:20] Robin77: What do you want the end result to be? [19:21] saji: already found this link [19:21] okay... /var/www/ is owned by root, but I want to add the a new group to have full access to var/www/... how do i do that??? [19:21] saji: it's not helpfull [19:21] My harddrive has failed (Windows Vista), and so I've booted my laptop up via Ubuntu on a cd, I'm trying to transfer to my friend's laptop around 7gb of data [19:21] nameless`, oh let me see.... [19:21] so I can then get my new hard drive etc [19:21] Dravekx: Use symlinks to home dir. [19:21] hi, any one could give directions about how to use paper clip to upload more than one picture? [19:21] symlinks? [19:22] llutz: 'man bash' does not even mention 'configuration'. [19:22] rob_p: In fact, pinging margaret.local does not work. Theory: The linksys wrt54gl which sits between the client and the gateway is sticking its nose into the NAT? [19:22] The link from before suggests that you do the whole workgroup thing to transfer data, this is the stage I can't fathom [19:22] jMyles: On the server box does, "sudo netstat -ulpn" give you an entry like: udp 0 0 10.0.0.46:53 0.0.0.0:* 13050/named [19:22] nameless`, Try this- http://supware.net/HamachiUbuntuHowto/ [19:22] anyone? [19:23] jMyles: ...but it should end with dnsmasq, not named as in my example. [19:23] you cant symlink a group [19:23] Hi! I installed Ubuntu 9.10 and now have problems with enabling KMS for my Radeon X1300. I created /etc/init.d/radeon.conf with line 'options radeon modeset=1' , then I did 'sudo update-initramfs -u -k all ' and rebooted, but now I stll can not enbable desktop effects [19:23] how different could two new installations of 9.10 be that it would work on one but not the other [19:23] bullgard: it lists files which are read, depending on invocation. that are the "configfiles" [19:23] Robin77: If your hard drive has failed, it will not be possible. But, if it just will no longer boot and the HD is operational (readable), just mount it and copy the files (My\ Documents or what ever) to a USB drive. [19:23] saji: i guess my kernel is too old :( [19:24] rob_p: No, it doesn't. Strangely, it still lists 192.168.1.40:53 [19:24] jMyles: Wait a minute, why do you have the linksys between the client and the server. They need to be on the same network. [19:24] saji: or compilled without the tun capability [19:24] Dravekx: What? === orion_ is now known as Guest92037 [19:24] ani russian is here?

[19:24] Dravekx: You don't symlink a group, you symlink a directory. [19:25] nameless, It seems that the tun module is not supported by Ubuntu directly... You have to compile it on your own [19:25] da eto koneshno horosho. tolko na ubuntu-ru ya zabanen [19:25] jMyles: Get that out of there, for simplicity sake. [19:25] rob_p: a hub and wireless access point [19:25] usr13, i just want this group of users to have full access to the /var/www/ directory [19:25] so I have my laptop loaded with ubtunu, I have all the files in one folder, but there are too many files to transfer without an external hdd [19:25] rob_p: And just run the cable directly to the NIC? Don't I need a crossover cable for that? [19:25] hence me doing it this way [19:25] Dravekx: No you don't. === skinnymg1_ is now known as skinnymg1 [19:25] Dravekx: What are you trying to do? [19:26] saji: frak ! [19:26] jMyles: Well, ideally you would run both the server and the clients to a hub or switch. In the absense of one, yes. [19:26] Yuri_Harrison, I think you have to use the ' update-java-alternatives ' command to set the default Java version to use. [19:26] Dravekx: You are running apache web server, right? [19:26] jMyles: Or, perhaps your NIC will autodetect. Many of the newer ones do these days. [19:26] rob_p: Well I have turned DHCP off on the linksys, and I'm not using the WAN port. In my experience, it acts like a switch in this situation. [19:26] Dravekx: What in /var/www/ are you wanting to share? [19:26] If I encrypt the home directories on my server, does that mean that as root, I won't be able to mount them? [19:26] usr13, I made a new group called www-admin... I added my admins to that group, I want them to have FULL ACCESS to the /var/www/ directory. [19:27] hello, i'm trying to downgrade from the vlc ppa to the normal vlc, so i've removed the ppa from my sources.list, and then i removed the package vlc, then i made "apt-get update" and now i can't reinstall vlc because i get : http://pastebin.com/fff49319 [19:27] jMyles: Just make sure it's not offering any services, especially DHCP. [19:27] Dravekx: Are you serving webpages via apache from /var/www ? [19:27] jMyles: In that case it should act like a switch and you should be fine. [19:27] lol [19:27] usr13, yes. [19:28] And you want more than one use to negotiate those files? [19:28] Yuri_Harrison, sudo update-alternatives --config java [19:28] i need to make a application to upload file, [19:28] Dravekx: Are they going to ftp in or ssh in or...? [19:28] can i help you [19:29] user, yes. I want the www-admin group to be able to handle those files via vsftp [19:29] jMyles: Back to the server... why is it still listing services being bound to an IP in the 192.168.x.x range? Something is still misconfigured. === RAlnaemi is now known as rashed2020 [19:29] Dravekx: How many sites? One or more? [19:29] jMyles: Pastebin the output of, "ifconfig" [19:29] nameless`, I'm sorry i can't help u any further. And with that sort of language I don;t think you'll find much help from someone.. [19:29] usr, about 30 sites. [19:30] but thats neither here or there. [19:30] Dravekx: That is highly irregular... you will have a bunch of people all having access to 30 different sites? [19:30] llutz: I found these files now under the heading 'FILES'. -- Thank you for explaining. [19:31] mikobuntu: ok, its show only one aternative...how do I set my own java, like I want the java should be the /jdk1.6.0.17/bin/java [19:31] usr, I just want the www-admin group to have access. [19:31] Dravekx: How many users? [19:31] rob_p: After rebooting, netstat displays the proper line and the network works!!! :-) [19:31] bullgard: read part "invokation" to see in which case what file will be read [19:31] only 3 users in that group. [19:31] jMyles: Cool! Congrats man. [19:32] rob_p: Please come in some time for a heady espresso drink on the house :-) [19:32] Dravekx: And those 3 users are already users on this server? (They already have user accounts?) [19:32] Yuri_Harrison, Press enter to keep the current choice[*], or type selection number: and the number of the version you want [19:32] rob_p: So the next step for me is to install wifidog to act as a captive portal and authentication server. [19:32] usr13, yes. they are admins like me, but I am the main admin. [19:32] jMyles: I live in Cyprus... probably a long way from where you are! But maybe someday. [19:32] rob_p: I am in New Paltz, NY, USA [19:33] usr13, Iw ant them to have full access so I dont have to be on call 24/7 anymore. [19:33] thanks for the help! [19:33] jMyles: I was in NY about 6 years ago. [19:33] Dravekx: Well, it is highly irregular, I've never done it but suppose you could just use chmod to change group owner to it. [19:33] Someone in my house has a pretty big usb stick ^ [19:33] ^^* [19:33] jMyles: I moved here from Las Vegas. [19:34] Yuri_Harrison, you need to key in eg 1 or 2 or whatever number is at the start of the line with your required version [19:34] usr13, why is it irregular? I have 3 people in a new group that I want to have full access to a directory so they can admin too, so I dont hafta be on call 24/7 every effin second of the day. [19:34] Hello.

The Key Question how to enter sudo pass right when the command is executed, and not after many hours wget is ready :) [19:41] I reckon it's got a backup partition labelled in Windows as D: and so I intend to resize that. The trouble is that I don't know if that'll make whatever is set up for backups not work anymore [19:41] sorry for the typo [19:41] vak: change sudo to allow NOPASSWD on /sbin/shutdown, use "cmd && sudo shutdown -h now " and it won't ask you late at night [19:42] xangua, you mean jockey-gtk ?

[20:20] gce_ how to do it? [20:20] Maximo: yw [20:20] hwilde: what happens is that when disconnecting, it (correctly) sets max_freq to 1GHz. when reconnecting network power, it should get back to 2.17GHz, but soemthing puts it back to 1GHz immediately === mike_w is now known as mikeyw [20:20] trupheenix: its Word Count :) [20:21] no [20:21] hey, what packages do I need to install for a laptop with touchscreen and a fingerprint reader [20:21] gce_ no [20:21] What are the parties here mirc [20:21] guntbert, wc -l right? :) [20:21] is ubuntu the ultimate [20:21] I am running Ubuntu desktop. When I try to connect to a remote host using ssh pub/priv keys, a gnome GUI popup comes up asking for my passphrase for the key. However, I have the passphrase saved to a text file and I normally copy and paste it. The gnome dialog doesn't let me copy and paste. How can I get around this? [20:21] trupheenix: ok - I never bother [20:22] tpassive, /var/log/syslog or /var/log/messages or /var/log/acpi should give you some hint as to who is doing this behavior. or dmesg [20:22] jbwiv: post the output of /boot/grub/grub.cfg...lets try to figure something out [20:22] Schiz0: How are you copying and pasting? === mikeyw is now known as phlmike [20:22] gce_: normally I booted GRUB from my second drive's Ubuntu partition [20:22] hi there [20:22] Jarxes: if you're using the bios to chose the boot drive then you can safely do something like the following: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ bs=512 count=1 Warning that will erase the boot mbr of the drive === phlmike is now known as phillymike [20:22] hwilde: already tried that.. nothing useful [20:22] maverick, that's the odd thing...there is no /boot/grub/grub.cfg [20:23] usr13: I view the file in vim, then right click with my mouse -> copy [20:23] someone here knowing something about renaming of libcommoncpp2 into libccgnu2? [20:23] Could someone help me with installation of teamspeak?! i always have the mirror: ./teamspeak2-server_startscript: line 29: ./server_linux: No such file or directory [20:23] Although I have changed the documentroot in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/default and restarted apache2, it is still serving from /var/www. Any ideas why? === phillymike is now known as dochalladay [20:23] JOIN /#ubuntu-fr-devweb [20:23] Schiz0: Use cat rather than vim === dochalladay is now known as mW [20:23] gce_: and from there it would redirect me to my first HDD's windows xp boot loader [20:23] usr13: In the gui asking for my password, nothing works. I've tried ctrl+v, i've tried right clicking....it doesn't let me [20:23] Schiz0: and then just double click on the key and hit middle mouse button to dump it out. [20:23] can i help you? [20:23] I just want the terminal to ask for my pass, not this gui crap :-P [20:24] master_ ^^ [20:24] yes [20:24] i'll try that usr13 [20:24] thanks [20:24] Schiz0: if you have saved the key passwords in a file, why not disable the passwords at all? it's not safe anyhow ;) [20:24] tpassive: they're on a truecrypted partition [20:24] (of which the password for is memorized) [20:24] Schiz0: What protocol are you using? vnc? [20:24] hey, how do i check whether composite is enabled? [20:24] jbwiv: thats odd..AFAIK, its a grub problem.. [20:25] usr13: I'm running ssh in a terminal [20:25] maverick, so there *should* be a grub.cfg. Is there a way to generate it? [20:25] it's neither implicitly enbled or disabled in xorg.conf [20:25] jbwiv: thats what im trying to figure out [20:25] Schiz0: Shift-middle-mouse-button [20:25] Jarxes: that will clear grub out of the boot mbr of the linux drive. reinstall linux to that drive. when you reboot and chose the linux drive to boot from within the bios it should come up [20:25] gce_: is it safe? I have extremely precious data on this drive in my /home directory which I cannot access from LiveCD since it is encrypted. I can't afford loosing the data! [20:26] anyone? [20:26] Jarxes: always back up everything. [20:26] would you say ubuntu may be one of the greatest distros of all time? [20:26] waht2: Indeed [20:26] *grumbles* [20:26] jbwiv: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1354475 there you go..this should solve your troubles [20:27] Jarxes: but you *can* access encrypted homedirectories from live CD [20:27] I installed ubutu 9.10 to my new eeepc 1200 and when I run aptitude safe-upgrade I'm getting a similar error to this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1008887 but the advice to stop system-backend-tools wasn't helpful that i could see b/c i didn't see it running when I used ps | aux | grep system-tools [20:27] Jarxes: dd is dangerous if you typo it. I suggest mounting the disk while you're running under the live cd and copying everyting off [20:27] gce_: I do, but this happened just before I backuped it [20:27] how do you tell whether composite is enabled? [20:27] maverick, let me look [20:27] gce_: not to mention dd is excruciatingly slow. [20:28] when i run sudo dpkg --configure -a the command just runs but there's no output [20:28] Jarxes: cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/ part_unc [20:28] gce_: how can I access encrypted /home directory? [20:28] jbwiv: im sorry thats not relating to our problem [20:28] hi all. is it possible to set the priority of a process to access the network (the Internet)? [20:28] is composite enabled by default somehow? [20:28] maverick, ah, k. I was a bit confused ;-) [20:28] gce_: IC [20:28] <^kleanchap> What tools do I need to have webcam activated and use Skype? [20:28] andares: with the above dd I'm just zeroing out the first 512 bytes which erases the mbr and partition table. [20:29] nascentmind: huh? [20:29] Jarxes: see the following article: http://www.linux-mag.com/cache/7568/1.html [20:29] gce_: ah [20:29] Jarxes: do not run the dd until you have backed up as it wipes out your mbr and partition table. [20:29] maverick, here are the contents of my grub directory [20:29] maverick, http://pastie.org/774042 [20:29] gce_: but my /home dir isn't on separate partition, but with the rest of the system that won't boot [20:30] Hi, my friend is trying to install ubuntu and he tried to boot from a few diffrent cd's but all he gets is the boot-promt. it runs the syslinux from the cd and then he gets a black screen with boot: [20:30] Can he type something there to boot up the installer? [20:30] jrib, the user in the admin group. so he should atleast be able to see the system groups right? [20:30] Duzchip: iirc, the installer is ubiquity [20:30] jbwiv: im out of ideas...googling to find a solution now.. [20:31] maverick, yeah, same here...thanks mate ;) [20:31] jbwiv: meanwhile, ask your question again in here, maybe someone else can help you.. [20:31] ardchoille: which means? [20:31] Guys, I ran and apt-get dist-upgrade on my Karmic system today. Now, on boot, I get no grub prompt. I just get "error: you need to load the kernel first. Failed to boot default entires. Press any key to continue" over and over. I booted up in an (older jaunty) rescue cd, mounted the boot partition on /boot, ran grub-update, and it found the kernels just fine. But on reboot, same error. Can anyone help? I'm at a loss [20:31] Duzchip: is his computer powerful enough to run Ubuntu? Is the CD burned correctly? [20:31] composite anyone? [20:31] Duzchip: Can he type something there to boot up the installer? [20:31] Jarxes: if you attempted to reinstall earlier .... you may have wiped the partition. otherwise you should be able access it via the live cd. do an fdisk -l /dev/ [20:31] Duzchip: ubiquity is the installer [20:31] nascentmind: shouldn't really matter. If it's not showing them to you, it's because that's how the program is written. It provides a checklist for some like (admin etc.) [20:32] hi [20:32] ardchoille: so he just have to type ubiquity?

[20:32] gce_: ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sdb5 part_unc [20:32] Command failed: Can not access device [20:33] Duzchip: he might need: sudo ubiquity [20:33] Hi.

[20:33] ardchoille: it just says "Could not find kernel image" [20:33] its the grub boot prompt [20:33] jbwiv: But I finally fixed the problem - I moved all of the files in the /boot directory that ended in "-16-generic" to a temporary directory, and then copied them back. I then ran update-grub, followed by grub-install /dev/sda. I can now boot into the new 2.6.31-16 kernel. from http://www.uluga.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8531475.. [20:33] i think [20:33] <^kleanchap> How do I install Skype? [20:33] Duzchip: ok, not sure how to fix that [20:34] maverick, let me look. thakns [20:34] jrib, if a developer wants to edit html files in /var/www i would prefer all the files are owned by www-data and the user be in www-data group. [20:34] Jarxes: hmmm i wonder if that partition has not been nuked already. try sudo cryptsetup isLuks /dev/sdb5 && echo "is luks" [20:34] nascentmind: that's really not best-practice, you want www-data to only be able to write where apache really *needs* to [20:34] gce_: when I try to install GRUB2 on this drive it says: ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo grub-install --recheck -f --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sdb5 [20:34] grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for /mnt/boot/grub.

[20:34] Jarxes: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [20:34] Please specify the module with the option `--modules' explicitly. [20:34] Duzchip: where did you download the images, and did you verify checksum? [20:35] ^kleanchap, google skype and download the appropriate version, and open it with package installer. [20:36] jrib, i didn't get you. what do you mean by "write where apache really needs to"? [20:36] also, hi [20:36] My integrated webcam doesn't work with camorama [20:36] nascentmind: apache runs as www-data. If you give www-data write permissions, then apache can write to the file [20:37] gce_: I tried and it didn't give me any result. nada [20:37] What have I to do to let the cam work? [20:38] <^kleanchap> SciRuoWa, Thnx. I thought it was available thru the repository. [20:38] Jarxes: if the partition was encrypted it should have printed out is Luks so it may have been destroyed when you tried to reinstall previously :-( [20:38] nascentmind: you should create some other group like "www-editors", add your users to that, and use that instead. If you have a file that you need apache to be able to write to (e.g. a wiki), then let www-data have permission [20:38] jbwiv: how's it going? [20:38] jrib, ok so i would just put the files in /var/www give read permissions in /var/www add the user to www-data. is that fine? the user does dev of pages in his own directory. [20:38] gce_: I can mount this partition though and access it [20:38] how can i bring up the grub menu when i boot up? it usually just goes straight to ubuntu [20:38] jrib, yes i have a wiki too. [20:38] nascentmind: you're missing the point [20:39] can anyone help me getting gnome-do to run together with pidgin? I get the following message when I try to start gnome-do : http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m554c1e1c [20:39] nascentmind: you don't want apache to be able to write to randompage.html because there's no reason for it to ever do so [20:39] Jarxes: when you did the encryption did you encrypt the entire partition or just the home directory ? [20:39] maverick, well, not so good, but better [20:39] gce_: as I said, the partition isn't encrypted, only /home dir is. [20:39] mcnellis: or during the boot process [20:39] how to change any icon in ubuntu? [20:39] nascentmind: this is tangential to your original question [20:39] none of that worked, but after grub-install I'm now getting the grub prompt [20:39] and where to place it's icon image in which format?

[20:54] git__, sounds like you are running out of memory tbh [20:54] digitig, what happens if you click on the system menu then scroll over onto the places menu?

[20:58] how does one disable the splash screen booting on ubuntu from the grub prompt? [20:58] In other words, I want a simple text-based boot [20:58] x_link: you shouldn't have to purge.

Please say it in other words. [21:30] it does [21:30] "hi what's the command line interface to display application version" does not make sense === ubuntar is now known as batterflyo_0 [21:30] bullgard: no, it can be terminal gnome. and i'd also like for the terminal not to write lines like one by one, but write the characters of each line (very quickly though), like on movies [21:30] there is a cli (terminal command) that displays the app(application) version [21:31] meowbuntu: You mean the command to use in the terminal to display your Ubuntu version? [21:31] meowbuntu, what application? [21:31] meowbuntu: do you mean what's the command to display the version of a program [21:31] undecim, read applications i have [21:31] meowbuntu: application --version ? [21:31] say for eg wine [21:31] yea, wine --version [21:31] CShadowRun, yes thats it [21:31] meowbuntu: If you want to see the version of a package you have installed, type "aptitude show packagename" where packagename is the name of the package you want to see information about. === batterflyo_0 is now known as o[o_0]o [21:32] If I make a new partition table, do I delete all previous partitions? I've googled, but I've not quite got to grips with what a partitiont able is [21:32] undecim, CShadowRun suggestion is easier and works [21:32] meowbuntu: mine won't work for all applications, his one will [21:32] person - what is your goal? to re-use an old hard disk? [21:32] Cube``: I understand that your problem is rather generic. But I did not understand the essence of your problem. Sorry. [21:33] ok [21:33] bullgard: it's just for fun. no problem there at all. [21:33] gkahla: I was scared that I had screwed a device's partitioning up a bit with usb-creator [21:33] person - is this a flash drive? [21:33] ok thanks for that. i also need to find out what sound/audipo device i am running is it pulse, oss ect [21:33] gkahla: So I deleted the partition in gparted, rebooted and created a new partition table iirc [21:33] gkahla: yeah [21:33] what's iirc? [21:34] if I remember correctly [21:34] person: happens sometimes, I suggest using gparted or palimpsest (disk utility) to reformat the drive at ext3, the use usb-creator again. it is an open bug. [21:34] person - creating the new partition table isn't all that hard, now you have to populate the table with filesystems. [21:34] gkahla: I then installed with usb-creator. I think it worked okay. === o[o_0]o is now known as ubuntar [21:34] person: then* [21:34] That's right. Thanks guntbert [21:34] meowbuntu: By default, you will be running pulse. [21:34] nightsjammies: :) [21:35] I've been unable to connect to the internet via wireless since yesterday, I changed NO settings! nm-applet connects to the router, but I can't reach it via default gateway. What may have happened? Everything works fine in windows! [21:35] person - when you plug it into your computer it should show up (depending on OS) [21:35] âñåì ïðèâåò :) [21:35] I just want to know that when I created a new partition table, I basically freshened the drive up for the creation of new partitions so if anything weird had happened to partitions and stuff before that would interfere with my partitioning, that won't interfere now. [21:35] can i help you [21:36] I gots a new mouse today. [21:36] And it works..:) [21:36] undecim, ok but how can i check what it is i may have changed it not sure [21:36] is there any way to see a variable substitution result in a .sh before it happens? ( to echo the command generated before it executes) [21:36] I just don't want to go and give it to someone else for them to shove in their computer and end up with it spontaneously zeroing their hard disk or something :P [21:36] That's melodramatic, but you get the idea [21:36] guntbert, Thanks... Rebooting fixed everything... [21:36] how do I fix this for web access? http://www.dravekx.com/joomla [21:36] !ssh [21:36] SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for client usage. PuTTY is an SSH client for Windows; see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for it's homepage. See also !scp (Secure CoPy) and !sshd (Secure SHell Daemon) [21:36] person: doubt that could happen without using a few apps/commands [21:36] komputes: Good [21:37] komputes: I just don't want stuff to randomly malfunction [21:37] person - i think you're alright. can you plug it into your Ubuntu machine? [21:37] I think I'll stop obsessively worrying and give this drive back soon [21:37] meowbuntu: I think you can see the settings somewhere under System -> Preferences -> Sound, but I'm not sure (I would check but I'm running Kubuntu, which has a different config) [21:37] So by the way, what's the standard way to share files with other users on a linux machine? [21:37] undecim, nope not there [21:37] gkahla: yeah and it mounted [21:37] I've been unable to connect to the internet via wireless since yesterday, I changed NO settings! nm-applet connects to the router, but I can't reach it via default gateway. What may have happened? Everything works fine in windows somehow! [21:38] Does anyone in here know who master_ is? [21:38] person - that's a sign of a healthy flash drive! I don't believe you'll start SkyNet if you give it back [21:38] person: so I suggest that you wipe the key completely with palimsest, create a ext3 partition on it, then allow usb-creator to reformat the key as FAT32 and then you should have no problem. I suggest using the 'Discard on shutdown' option in usb-creator. [21:39] gkahla: What does that mean? :P [21:39] nightsjammies, whis master_ [21:39] whois master_ [21:39] komputes: Meh, I've had a rough time with ext3 filessystems and flash drive instals before [21:39] person - weak joke; SkyNet is the 3vil artificial intelligence behind the "Terminator" films... [21:40] I don't know. Someone that just out of the blue told me that they'd help me.. [21:40] gkahla: ok :P [21:40] nightsjammies: in-channel? or PM? [21:40] master_ can i help you [21:40] nightsjammies With what? [21:40] 02:37 master_ i would like to help you [21:40] master_ if you would? [21:40] In PM [21:40] nightsjammies: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [21:40] Oops. [21:40] Anyway [21:40] Think I'll be off [21:40] Seeya; thanks folks [21:40] surely [21:41] master_: please do not randomly PM people [21:41] meowbuntu: Well, I'm not sure. I do know that most applications have to decide between Pulse, ALSA, and OSS on their own, but I think that Pulse mixes ALSA from several programs at once when it's running. Sound isn't my specialty though, so I could be entirely wrong. If you want to see if Pulse is running, type "pgrep pulseaudio" into a terminal, and if it outputs a number, that means that Pulse is running. [21:41] I've been unable to connect to the internet via wireless since yesterday, I changed NO settings! nm-applet connects to the router, but I can't reach it via default gateway. What may have happened? Everything works fine in windows somehow! [21:41] 02:40 master_ i know but i'm here to help the men who are in difficult [21:42] That's just weird to me. [21:42] is anyone aware of how to rotate a screen in X in the xorg.conf file; I'm currently using xrandr, but it's from the CLI everytime I boot. [21:42] FFFFFUUU..

[21:45] gkahla, im still confused. [21:45] Dravekx: Are you using the free version of dyndns? [21:46] oh HA! I forgot to install that. lol [21:46] yes [21:46] meowbuntu: why are you using quicktime in wine? [21:46] Dravekx: verify that your /joomla directory has the same rights as the /var/www directory. Type F2 gksudo nautilus to open the file manager with sudo rights. [21:46] <^kleanchap> How and Where do I find open source security related software for Ubuntu? I tried to look for The Sleuth Kit (forensics) and similar tools and did not find any in the update manager. Where can I install these tools from? older repositories? [21:46] what did you find, Dravekx? [21:47] is there a way to crash a wine application that hangs up in ubuntu [21:47] Dravekx: How did you get it to direct to dravekx.com and not dravekx.dyndns.org? Or are you paying for a domain through a registrar too? [21:47] gkahla, is ubuntu server 9.10 [21:47] meowbuntu, killall -9 wine [21:47] person: keep in mind that you need to be very careful in selecting the drive to use in usb-creator. Otherwise it can and will wipe the whole drive. Luckily it just shows usb drives. so to be safe, only have the usb drive you want to format inserted when using usb creator - just a tip ;) [21:47] powertool08, yes.. godaddy. [21:48] if i want to mount my homedir from NFS on my fileserver, do i need login on the fileserver for each user [21:48] Dravekx: Ok, just curious. How much is it? per month? per year? [21:48] powertool08, about $30-40 if that. [21:49] for the year. === fumblnoob_ is now known as fumblnoob [21:49] m0ar: Can you compare the connection information between Windows's and Ubuntu's wireless connections? (Ip address, default gateway, DNS servers, etc.) [21:49] Dravekx: I'm looking at launching a site sometime in the future. Thanks for the info :) [21:49] undecim: They are the same. I use statical internal IP and openDNS [21:49] my question is.. how is dyndns still working if its not installed? lol [21:50] Are you sure that the gateway's IP address is correct? [21:50] Dravekx: Luck? I think ddclient is the package to update it. [21:50] How do I activate Ctrl+Alt+Backspace in 9.10? [21:51] Dravekx: That is simple. Your provider is still using the same ip (for your computer) you had when you registered dyndns.

When I run my laptop attached to my tv, I have nvidia-settings use the second screen (TV) as a separate desktop. If I move the mouse to second screen it gets stuck on the second screen. Any ideas on how to fix this or circumvent it? [22:03] guys, so I hosed my Karmic system today with apt-get dist-upgrade. It won't boot...acts like grub isn't installed. I can boot with a Jaunty live cd and run update-grub and grub-install, and this works. I can then boot to the grub menu, edit the paths to the kernel, and boot fine. However, one I boot, if I run update-grub and grub-install and shutdown, the problem is back again ("You must load a kernel first. Failed to boot default entries"). So I downloade [22:03] d the Karmic live cd and booted it, ran update-grub, and get "grub-probe:error: cannot find a device for /." I'm losing my mind. help! === tato is now known as tato42 [22:04] hi [22:04] hey, i have a question i have installed ubuntu on a drive with windows xp, i have chosen to not choose partitions so it will install it next to windows, i thought it will take the free space after the windows partition, but ubuntu has 60GB and free space was only 26 GB o.O, what that means? [22:04] plutarco hi, what's up? [22:05] lysek: Can you still access XP? [22:05] yeah [22:05] lysek: sounds like you nixed your win instll [22:05] ShazbotMcMurder: Can you install dontzap? === pipegeek1 is now known as pipegeek [22:06] How about this one...

[22:06] x_link yes I can === b_ is now known as Guest15639 [22:07] x_link, "sudo apt-cache search dontzap" doesn't find anything? [22:07] lysek: I think you may have resized your windows partiton during the install. If you use the Ubuntu livecd, you should be able to use the program "gparted" to resize both partitions to the size you want. [22:07] lysek you can install gparted if you want a gui look at the partitions on your drive [22:07] ubuntu must DIE ! windows 7 forever! [22:07] whats the app similar to wine for gaming [22:07] f1sher: ok [22:07] ShazbotMcMurder: Nope [22:07] hi guys, any suggestions for a grep gui? [22:07] I was unable to change my password by doing 'passwd'. I googled and found that someone recommeded doing 'pwconv' and it should fix the problem. I did that and cannot login at all. I cannot login to root [22:07] meowbuntu, cedega [22:07] x_link: are you still trying to get Ctrl+Alt+Backspace working? [22:08] undecim, mmvx: i see now that my C: drive is resized to about 50GB smaller, why ubuntu did that automaticly without asking? [22:08] meowbuntu: there is also play on linux now or something like that... but all it is is another frontend for wine... and ShazbotMcMurder has been suggesting cedega. [22:08] hm. Crap. [22:08] x_link, go to system>software sources> and enable multiverse and universe if they're not already [22:08] lysek the installer, if left to its own devices, tends to resize the largest partition available. It does ask first though.... [22:09] Looks like I won't be able to do what I want... [22:09] neh, dontzap is on main [22:09] I'm unable to reach the internet, all of a sudden! Connecting to the router works, but I can't reach it through the default gateway, neither the internet. This is a few commands to update you of the situation: http://pastebin.org/74562 [22:09] but I'm not in 9.10 [22:09] I'm in 9.04 [22:10] but there was free space for a primary partition... and ubuntu resized C:, then resized extended and it added two logical partitions o.O [22:10] also it left 28GB free [22:10] on the end of hdd [22:10] buggy [22:10] m0ar: can you ping 192.168.0.1 [22:10] :) [22:10] jbwiv, of course you're running a livecd so / is nonexistent, read this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Reinstalling%20GRUB%202 [22:11] undecim: Idk, I'm on windoose atm since I can't reach internet from linux === jay is now known as Guest48239 [22:11] undecim: Addition; my resolv.conf is empty [22:11] lysek you can resize the partitions using a live gparted cd and start over...? [22:11] Supersaiyan_IV, ok, thanks. I'll read it. I guess I am confused because this worked perfectly on the Jaunty live cd [22:12] hey my ssh is heaps laggy and sometimes drops out, its going over the internet, i forwarded port 22, both the net connections have fast speed [22:12] m0ar: can you ping www.google.com with its ip-adress 209.85.129.103? [22:12] minimec: Still, on windoose atm :( [22:13] mmvx: i dont need to resize, i am telling it is strange behaviour [22:13] ae86-drifter what are the machines all running? [22:13] i have much space left thought, but it shouldnt done that [22:13] ShazbotMcMurder: I fixed it [22:13] ShazbotMcMurder: Don't need to install "dontzap" [22:14] Ahoy, I have networks eth0 and wlan0 - eth0 is my gateway, DHCP'd by my provider (ie not a local network) and I want wlan0 to be a local network. But upon giving it an IP and netmask I still can't ping to other hosts. Can someone help? Thanks. [22:14] mmvx, ones running 9.04(client) and the other 9.10 server edition [22:14] lysek the installer actually asks you to choose where it will install ubuntu [22:14] ShazbotMcMurder: System -> Preferences -> Keyboard -> Layouts -> then press "layout options" [22:14] dandart: are you trying to ping eth0 from wlan0? [22:15] ae86-drifter what do you mean you forwarded port 22? Is there a nat router in between? [22:15] m0ar: My question goes in this direction. Could it be a problem with the nameservers? [22:15] ShazbotMcMurder: There is someting called "Key Sequence" [22:15] npope: no, I'm trying to ping 1.1.1.1 from wlan0 , it is set as 1.1.7.3/16 [22:15] mmvx, its over WAN [22:15] minimec: Idk really. The resolv.conf is wiped clean, I tried to set my openDNS-server in nm-applet, but resolv is still empty. [22:15] ae86-drifter so what is doing the forwarding/ [22:15] dandart: what is your source ip when you ping it? [22:16] npope: I am 1.1.7.3 and I try to ping 1.1.1.1 [22:16] mmvx, sorry, yeah my router forwards port 22 and maps it to 4022 [22:16] I just installed minimilastic ubuntu, then installed xorg and other application. I am using xmonad as my WM. The problem is I dont have sound in my X but it is there without X. need help. [22:17] dandart: those are two diffrent networks... what interface is 1.1.7.3 and what interface is 1.1.1.1? [22:17] Firefox hangs all the time after last update. [22:17] dandart, what's the subnet mask for both those addresses? [22:17] npope: No, it's the same. My wlan0 is 1.1.7.3 netmask 255.255.0.0 [22:17] ae86-drifter so the ssh server responds on 4022 and is behind a router? and the client goes straight out on the net? [22:17] dandart: oh i see /16 [22:18] mmvx, yes thats correct [22:18] dandart: what is 1.1.1.1? your local router? [22:18] dandart, if your wlan0 is 1.1.7.3 shouldn't you netmask be 255.0.0.0 [22:18] npope: 1.1.1.1 is the router of wlan0 yes [22:18] m0ar: Ok. there should be an entry like nameserver 192.168.1.1 (I use my router as nameserver, which is probably default, if you do nothing. [22:18] mmvx, no, sorry my ROUTER listens on port 4022 and then forwards it to port 22 on my server in my LAN [22:19] ShazbotMcMurder: no 255.255 is correct [22:19] So. Is there any way to make kdm accept that I have a keyboard set up in dvorak? [22:19] Does anyone how I can easily restore a ubuntu 9.10 install. For some reason it stalls when trying to mount the rootfs [22:19] ookay [22:19] minimec: Tried to set nm-applet to DHCP, didn't work [22:19] ae86-drifter ok. Any firewalling on outbound traffic on the router? [22:19] because up until this morning, it worked fine that way. This morning I boot up, and it doesn't want to know. It says qwerty and that's that. [22:19] quick dumb question I am dual booting 2 linux or trying to atleast and i cant remember which OS is on which partition is there a way to easily figure it out? [22:19] dandart: what is the output of ifconfig and netstat -rn... paste them to the ubuntu pastebin [22:19] m0ar: Otherwise you can set a nameserver manually in /etc/resolv.conf or in the settings of the network-manager === Nightlight is now known as cgonzalez [22:19] The FS its self is fine, fsck picked up some corruption but nothing unusual [22:20] minimec: How to format that in resolv.conf? :) === cgonzalez is now known as CGonzalez [22:20] minimec: I think it's the network-mangler that IS the problem [22:20] mmvx, no, i even tried turning off ufw on the server and still the same [22:20] hello, ich have a problem with sync from evolution ti n73 i become the Error:Error while synchronizing: Unable to write one or more objects [22:21] m0ar: nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx ...

I just restarted my computer because it was using 2.5gb. I have a feeling it's XORG (nvidia drivers). Anyone have any ideas? [22:21] minimec: I'll try that and get back in here. Thanks for the help, appreciated [22:21] mmvx, no less than a second [22:22] ae86-drifter ok not a dns issue [22:22] mmvx, i mean no, it takes less than a second [22:22] m0ar: Otherwise... Try the solution in the network-manager [22:22] wireless not present after update to kernel 2.6.31-18 [22:22] minimec: Already done, didn't work :( [22:22] dandart: can you arping 1.1.1.1? [22:22] Hi there. Is there any GRUB2 expert around willing to help one absolutely frustrated at this point user? [22:23] ae86-drifter is the client wireless? [22:23] mmvx, just every now and then, i use sshfs, and i would have a text file open remotely and it would just lock up for about 5 secs randomly every 20 secs or so [22:23] m0ar: If you do nothing, your computer will use the router as nameserver, I guess... [22:23] npope: yes I can. It would seem I need to flush wlan0 tables and add them again. How? [22:23] dandart: not necessarly [22:23] please help, i can not sync my Nokia n73 with ubuntu Karmic - Error while synchronizing: Unable to write one or more objects [22:23] mmvx, everything is cabled 1gigabit LAN and internet speed on server is 1Mbit up speed on client is 4Mbit up [22:24] The memory issue is due to firefox. But my CPU is still idling at 80% [22:24] dandart: let me google something rela quick [22:24] anyone have any ideas? [22:24] ae86-drifter what happens pinging the router over a minute or so? [22:24] minimec: Well, trying to set nm-applet to "Automatically (DHCP)" had no effect at all so :D [22:24] minimec: brb [22:24] ae86-drifter or the server itself if you're forwarding ICMP [22:24] m0ar: ok [22:24] anyone know an easy way to tell the difference between what OS is installed on the /dev [22:24] mmvx, ping the router from which PC, on my LAN? [22:24] dandart: your router could be dropping ICMP requests [22:25] dandart: try to telnet 1.1.1.1 80 [22:25] dandart: try to telnet 1.1.1.1 443 [22:25] ae86-drifter ping the router behind which is the server, using the client [22:25] hi. i messed up with fstab, i delete few lines and now i can't login. i'm now running live cd. how can i fix this without having to reinstall ubuntu? thanks [22:25] mmvx, okay [22:25] npope: I'm getting No route to host every time I try to telnet or ping [22:26] dandart: does 1.1.1.1 work with any other clients? [22:26] allison_: do you know what those lines you deleted were? [22:26] dandart: paste arp -a to pastebin to [22:26] or is there a way to force fstab to regenerate? [22:26] allison_: what's your setup like? where was the root drive.. did you have separate partitions for /home or other stuff? [22:26] mmvx it seems to ping fine, evg about 18ms so far [22:26] npope: yes! I dhclient'd wlan0 then eth0 (because it broke routing) [22:27] ae86-drifter and is it possible for you to ping the client from the server? [22:27] Im pretty sure its all correct but I don't know why else It would just sit at "Ext3 FS on sda1, internal journal" all day [22:27] Slart : i don't know. humm.. sda2 [22:27] mmvx, i found something interesting [22:27] npope: http://paste.ubuntu.com/355213/ === mauri_ is now known as PEPPINO [22:27] mmvx, 64 bytes from 123.243.28.32: icmp_seq=21 ttl=247 time=19.4 ms [22:27] From 192.168.210.21: icmp_seq=22 Redirect Network(New nexthop: 192.168.210.253) [22:27] Slart : i have seperate / and /home [22:27] mmvx, that 2nd line is one out of about 40 pings [22:28] allison_: ok.. so the root drive is sda2 .. where is /home located? [22:28] *separate [22:28] npope: That seems wrong... [22:28] ae86-drifter you mean it's out of sequence? [22:28] dandart: haha thats your problem... [22:28] mmvx, the only way i could do that is if i ssh into the server and ping my client from ssh, and yes, the 2nd line i pasted there was out of sequence [22:29] im download vlc-1.0.4.tar.bz2 and unzipped it. My question is: where i can find the list of libs requested inside the package? [22:29] dandart: 1.1.1.1 is one of the DNS root servers. which is found on eth0 your default gateway. so it always sends it out that interface instead of wlan0 [22:29] Slart : i don't know, how to check it? [22:29] Hi there. Is there any GRUB2 expert around willing to help one absolutely frustrated at this point user? [22:29] anyone? [22:29] dandart: you need to readdress your internal network to private IP space RFC1918 [22:29] allison_: if you're using a live cd you should be able to look at the drives in the computer.. try going to the places menu and see what you can see [22:30] npope: That explains a lot. OK thanks. Strange how everyone else can do it too... [22:30] ae86-drifter yes ping from ssh, you could direct it into a file if you think it'll boot you out, and scp it over for inspection after logging in again [22:30] allison_: you are running 9.10, right?

I have the ISO on a stick, since I've got no optical media (which gave me a headache for about 20 minutes), but I got around that. Now, installing the base system fails at the ms true type fonts... I have no wired internet connection. [23:08] ikonia, Great, It works thanks! :) [23:09] Any ideas would be quite helpful [23:09] Allison_: ah.. it's complaining about swap.. odd.. I didn't think that would keep you from starting the system [23:09] captainIan: you need an internet connection to get the msfonts download [23:09] Allison_: try removing the two lines with swap in your fstab [23:10] ikonia, Can you help me with one more thing, please. [23:10] ikonia: I know... but I'm not even given the option of not installing them... at least, I'm not aware of how to disable that package [23:10] all of those machines are on vmware though, not sure if that makes a difference [23:10] Simon1245: I can certainly try [23:10] Allison_: that would be line 14 and 16 here http://paste.ubuntu.com/355222/ [23:10] Jarxes: Have you tried running these exact commands from a terminal after booting the livecd?: "sudo mount /dev/sdb5 /mnt" and "sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/ /dev/sda" [23:10] ikonia, Ok thanks, Well my Wireless connection isn't working [23:10] Simon1245: you need a connection of some type, wired or wirless [23:10] anyone set up an eeepc 1005ha ? [23:10] Slart : let me try [23:10] I want to use my Wireless one but it doesn't work I need to put in the wire [23:10] i've trouble with pulseaudio [23:11] Jarxes: also, if you have been browser files on that partition since booting the livecd, you should eject the partition before trying those. [23:11] When I dualboot and hibernated windows, could it be that windows deletes files that did not exist when it was hibernated once it resumes?

[23:13] I will put out the wire and try [23:13] Simon1245: Other than knowing the name and password of the network you're trying to connect to, you shouldn't have problems [23:13] i've a problem with a Realtek ALC269 audio chipset, if i select the speaker output and insert the headphone jack i continue to listen audio from speakers. Do you have a solution ? :( [23:13] Simon1245: leave the wire connected untill you know if it's working- maybe? [23:13] undecim: yeah, I think I'll have to restart LiveCD onw and try your suggestions. === rainofkayos is now known as EvilBrocade [23:14] can anyone tell me why cheats (gameshark, action replay) aren't available in VisualBoyAdvance 1.8.0? [23:14] hello, I am new to linux. Can someone recommend a good office suite. [23:14] Gladiak, that is a known bug, you can find the answer either in the forum or in launchpad [23:14] yogesh: OpenOffice. Abiword. [23:14] ty [23:14] hi guys, do you know any other iPod manager for ubuntu other than gtkpod ? because gtkpod crashes when i try to copy files from my ipod to my system ! [23:14] :( [23:15] lwieise87, this is ubuntu official support, what is wrong with your ubuntu distribution? [23:15] kinja-sheep: thank you. How do I install open-office? [23:15] where i can fin minizip package for karmic? [23:15] Slart : rebooting now. be right back [23:15] yogesh: It should be under Applications --> Office (if you're using Gnome). [23:15] ugh... [23:15] SaEeDIRHA: Rhythmbox [23:15] ? [23:15] SaEeDIRHA, have you tried using amarok ? [23:15] forceflow: that is not manager , that is only player [23:16] kinja-sheep: I couldnt find it. Is there a way to download it online? [23:16] mezquitale what is wrong with yogesh's ability to google? [23:16] yeah , but i dont know how to load ipod files on amarok :( [23:16] SaEeDIRHA, presumably rhythmplayer can also manage your playlists, just like amarok can [23:16] **rhythmbox*** I mean [23:16] Didn't work :( [23:16] Hi there. What's the easiest way to figure out what wireless drivers I'm using from the command line? [23:17] Simon1245: which didnt work? [23:17] !google | lwieise87 [23:17] lwieise87: While Google is useful for helpers, many newer users don't have the google-fu yet. Please don't tell people to "google it" when they ask a question.

Search for "openoffice" [23:17] well i want to copy files from/to my ipod from my system not just play them through my ipod [23:18] kinja-sheep: thank you again. [23:18] ok no solutions yet :( [23:18] * Gladiak is sad [23:18] howdy - anyone in here know much about nvidia 8100? [23:18] Hello, I have an unusual error. I just bought a new hard drive for my other workstation, and reinstalled i386 Ubuntu 9.10 desktop on it. The live CD worked fine, and the install went well, but when I rebooted, it marked the new hard drive as read only, even though it wasn't since it did the install, and the filesystem is there. Anyone have an idea why? [23:18] I am wondering if I can connect my vga -> component input on my TV [23:18] So it boots to a prompt, since gnome pops up an error that it can't write to home directoy. [23:18] can the 8100 drive the YPrPb input? [23:19] Zaehlas: Does the home directory exist? [23:19] SaEeDIRHA, amarok will allow you to "manage" your song library, as in copy files from/to your ipod from/to your ubuntu machine, apparently rhythmbox can do that as well though I have never tried it,I have tried it and knows it works with amarok, that is the only reason i would ever use amarok again [23:19] Zaehlas: I had that happen once, where the user home dir wasn't created [23:19] captainIan: yes. when I log in with the main account, nit's right at the home directory. but I can't do any commands that involve writing to the drive, including sudo apt-get update, etc. all error out [23:20] Zaehlas: make sure the drive had no errors (fsck) and check fstab [23:20] thanks mezquitale, i am going to google it now to see how to use it [23:20] if any question left i will come back [23:21] captainIan: On my second boot it performed an automatic file check, since the ext4 was marked as dirty for some reason. I'll check the fstab, but not sure if I'll get anything from fsck [23:21] captainIan: afk a few minutes to check those. thanks. [23:21] Slart, hey it's me allison. it's ok now. thank you, really appreciate your help. [23:22] Babyshambles: you're welcome [23:22] Zaehlas: I bet it was marked as dirty before... [23:22] curious on some hardware, i have an old emachine that is using a 250W power supply, is that upgradable at all, for instance, i dont see any 250W power supplys at my local store, but there are plenty of 400W and 500W ones, are they ok to upgrade to? [23:22] so after upgrading to Karmic Koala i noticed a black desktop background and i can not create any icons, any suggestions? [23:22] Zaehlas: if fstab has it mounting as read only... that's why I suggested [23:22] i found a post on the web and they suggested killing nautilus, which i did but it still didn't work [23:23] Would somebody please help me with installation of libraries/wine? [23:23] ophiel: you don't kill nautilus, you restart it [23:23] does anyone have any experiece upgrading from 9.04 to 9.10? What should I be warry of?

Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [23:23] sunraider3: just ask your actual question [23:23] i did restart it [23:23] captainIan: have you got lots of customizations? [23:23] captainIan: (non-standard packages, software you compiled yourself, ...) [23:23] forceflow: no, it's a fresh install AFIK... from netbook [23:24] !who | ophiel [23:24] ophiel: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [23:24] captainIan: I upgraded my 9.04 to 9.10 fine on my netbook [23:24] ophiel: repeat the procedure but start nautilus from a terminal [23:24] captainIan, just try it and see what happens, back up your data just in case, the known issue i know about is pulseaudio [23:24] were you using a customized dist or ubuntu eee/easypeasy [23:24] forceflow: were you using a customized dist or ubuntu eee/easypeasy [23:24] well its not as much a question as a lack of knowledge on my part, i need a walkthrough with installation, i have tried multiple times but i always end up failing [23:24] jrib: from a terminal i tried killall nautilus then nautilus & [23:24] captainIan: just ubuntu netbook remix [23:24] ophiel: was there output? [23:25] captainIan: which is just ubuntu with less packages :) [23:25] ophiel: you kept the terminal open right? [23:25] forceflow: how different is it from eeebuntu? [23:25] jrib: yes after nautilus restarted i got a bunch of data redirected to it [23:25] ophiel: pastebin [23:25] captainIan: can't tell. As far as I know, eeebuntu relies on scripts heavily to get stuff done. On ubuntu 9.10 most of the eee functionality works out of the box on my machine (1005HA) [23:25] jrib: i can't do that from here, i'm on my brothers windows box ... [23:25] forceflow: which I realized after answering your initial q's, is what is on here [23:25] jrib: i'll have to go home later and get it [23:25] ophiel: k [23:26] forceflow: OOTB is why I'm doing it... [23:26] jrib: but restarting nautilus should work i suppose from what you're saying? [23:26] captainIan: don't know how it works for eeebuntu [23:26] captainIan: don't know you can upgrade from eeebuntu -> karmic 9.10 [23:26] forceflow: we shal see soon! [23:26] captainIan: good luck. Sorry, but I don't know a lot about eeebuntu. It's not an official ubuntu derivative, so I don't know how it organises things :) [23:27] undecim: thanks mate, I think I succeed to install grub on sdb. Now it's time to check if it works. A Big kudos to you if it does! [23:27] forceflow: i'm only doing it because ubuntu studion iso wouldnt install... it kept peeing on my shoes [23:27] Jarxes: No problem :) [23:27] captainIan: hehe :) [23:27] captainIan: well, ubuntu studio isn't an official derivate either :) [23:27] and I can't, for the life of me, figure out how the hell to get the wifi working [23:27] ophiel: well nautilus is what handles drawing the wallpaper, the icons, and handling right clicks on the desktop. When you run it as « nautilus & » it will die if you close the terminal. Instead use « nautilus & disown ». If it still doesn't work and the output provides no hints, I would see if compiz is to blame by disabling compiz temporarily [23:27] Does anyone know how to use Netbook Remix? [23:27] forceflow: it's official enough [23:27] Richturd: me [23:27] :) [23:27] it's just like regular ubuntu ... [23:28] Richturd: what's your main questions? [23:28] forceflow, I can't seem to get my wireless card to work [23:28] captainIan my wireless card doesnt work [23:28] Richturd: which version of UNR are you running, and on what hardware? [23:28] Richturd: what is your wireless card? [23:28] jrib: ok thanks for the info... i'll try this later when i get back home [23:28] well since nobody is answering i will explain my issues. so my linux comp has no internet accsess i need to transfer neccessary files with a usb. ive been trying to install wine but it says it needs Gnu m4 1.4, which in turn asks me for Flex. so i try to install flex and it seems like it ran through the install perfectly but when i try and install Gnu M4 it says i still need it. [23:28] hang on please [23:28] the wifi card in my Asus eeepc 1005HA works out of the box on UNR 9.10 [23:29] Richturd: or, what's your netbook? [23:29] my netbook is an eeepc 701, captainian [23:29] Richturd: my 1000he worked pretty much right away, as well [23:29] Richturd: it's the ra2860 [23:29] we have ath9k chips, so that explains [23:30] Richturd: your wifi should be good... [23:30] is there a way to list all of my .wma files in subdirecotries? I tried ls -R *.wma, but it is telling me there is no such file or directory. [23:30] Yeah it works now! [23:30] Richturd: what version are you trying to run? [23:30] thanks captainian [23:30] I dunno, netbook remix... [23:30] the latest? 9.10 that is [23:30] how do I find out what version it is? [23:30] Richturd: no problem? (not sure what I did...) but I am glad to have helped [23:30] neezer: ls **/*.wma [23:31] forceflow: Do you know a quick way to check the dist/version of the system? [23:31] neezer: or, more traditionally: find -name '*.wma' [23:31] cause i'm drawing a massive caffeine-lacking blank [23:31] captainIan: uname -a ? [23:31] Does tftp have issues connecting to a windows box? [23:31] sunraider3: welcome to dependency hell. This is what package managers were designed to prevent, but since you don't have internet access, you cant use the default package manager. But never fear: have a look at http://keryxproject.org/, which will allow you to download all the packages you need all at once, then install them on the offline computer all at once. [23:31] forceflow, i have ath9k chip and had to downgrade from the latest kernel === cordellcameron is now known as DBCOOPA [23:31] Daughain: nope i dont think so [23:32] ae86-drifter: als on a eepc 1005HA ? [23:32] forceflow: wow... i feel... new... [23:32] Okay I got another problem [23:32] ok. [23:32] luks__: OK, O so I have something else going on.... [23:32] thanks jrib [23:32] Richturd: what it be? [23:32] captainIan: you're welcome :) [23:32] I cannot seem to use my built in webcam, captainIan [23:32] forceflow, nah its on an acer laptop, it kept dropping out every 10 mins or so, downgraded firmware and my signal strength multiplied by 5 [23:32] Richturd: it might be disabled with a keyboard shortcut [23:33] i mean downgraded kernel, not firmware LOL [23:33] does anyone around here know which program is responsible for launching, say, rythmbox when an USB drive with music in it gets inserted, or f-spot when a card with images goes online? [23:33] to use the mail command do I install mail utils? [23:33] Richturd: check "rfkill list" [23:33] e-squizo: think that's nautilus [23:33] I am getting an error when trying to playback some of my music on mediatomb. [23:33] Where is that, Forceflow? [23:33] Richturd: Please don't take what I'm about to say as rude, but it may seem as such... have you checked the wiki? the webcam, wifi, trackpad, and several other "fun" things are quite well documented [23:33] even better: anyone knows how to extende that functionality? [23:33] Richturd: you have to type it in console. And indeed, check the wiki :) [23:33] forceflow: I was coming to that conclusion myself [23:34] ae86-drifter: are you sure thats an ath chipset? [23:34] Ok, when using bootp and tftp to do a remote install, do I need a wrapper to get tftp to run? [23:34] but what is the mechanism? [23:34] e-squizo: don't know, sorry :s [23:34] dibs: the default mail command is provided by the bsd-mailx package [23:34] say, I have an app I want launched when a pendrive with a certain signature gets launched... [23:34] I have a server set up and am running it through the ps3. In one of my files i have some .wma, and .mp3 files. and mediatomb is saying "unsupported data" for all of the files in the folder, but I know that my other .wma files and .mp3 files work. [23:35] captainIan: OK, back. I think i have it up right now, or I hope it will stay up. I had to reboot *4* times, running fsck each time till it finally wouldn't mark the filesystem as having errors, and this was off a CLEAN INSTALL?!?!? I hope my hard drive isn't bad. I'll give it a day or two. [23:35] Daughain: you need a dhcp server and a tftp server with the image [23:35] Daughain: the dhcp server points on the image file [23:35] Pici cheers [23:35] captainIan, ath is short for Atheros right?? [23:35] Zaehlas: boot from a different device, check the disk, and maybe it is OK [23:35] When I dualboot and hibernated windows, could it be that windows deletes files that did not exist when it was hibernated once it resumes? [23:35] ae86-drifter: yes [23:35] Pici: Not mailutils ? [23:36] <`mOOse`> anybody got any experience expanding partitions? [23:36] captainIan, well yes i do have an ath chipset definately... [23:36] cowgarden: yes, it could... but I don't think it does. [23:36] captainIan: Well, this finaly boot it had to have mnarked clean, cause it was loading gnome. So I'm going to finish the install, and boot a few more times, and see if it stays clean from here on out. Thanks again. [23:36] ae86-drifter: OK! I thought the acer had a different one but i am often wrong [23:36] captainIan, any other ideas for missing files? [23:36] captainIan, it even was an external drive (but connected all the time) [23:36] captainIan, its not a netbook by the way [23:37] ae86-drifter: OH [23:37] luks__: OK, I have dhcp and tftp, Rightnow, tftp seems to have connection issues that I am trying to reslove. [23:37] nvrmind then [23:37] genii do you use utils instead of mailx? [23:37] cowgarden: in linux? what fs? [23:37] ok, I have a windows drive mounted as local at boot up in /media, and it's saying I have no permission to copy files to it, ideas? [23:37] if it's XFS and you don't shut down properly, you may never have had those files on the disk to begin with [23:37] captainIan, files are missing on both systems, created them with linux. I think it's fat23 [23:38] luks__: I;ve yet to get tftp to grab a file from the windows box I need it to connect to. [23:38] genii: On this install /usr/bin/mail symlinks to /etc/alternatives/mail which symlinks to /usr/bin/bsd-mailx [23:38] dibs: I mail from commandline with something like: mail -s "subject" user@wherever then the body exited by a . [23:38] cowgarden: do us a favor and verify the filesystem... i'll look some info up when you let me know [23:38] hi im new to ubuntu but its awsome so far. how do i connect to shared folders one my readyNAS_ [23:39] Daughain: have you tried to connect manually to the windows box via tftp? [23:39] captainIan, what tool do you recommend for that? [23:39] Pici: OK [23:39] luks__: Thats what I am trying now. [23:39] genii: Same for my desktop install. [23:39] hey i can't access my external drive anymore, how do i mount it manually? [23:39] anyone here who can help me make a script that automaticly at login lets synergyc use sudo? synergy lags if not using sudo command but have no idea how to get it to work nor do i get it via visudo /etc/sudoers [23:40] cowgarden: tool? um... anything that can partition can potentially check... also, fsck (if it's an automounted drive) should have some info... [23:40] luks__: I keep getting a sendto: invalid argument error. [23:40] those shared folders shows up auto on my desktop but not when i try xubuntu on my laptop [23:40] cowgarden: in a terminal window, type cat /etc/fsck [23:40] er [23:41] ops! [23:41] cowgarden: in a terminal window, type cat /etc/fstab [23:41] genii pici. when I try mail -s etc... I get an apt-install message for [23:41] captainIan: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:41] heirloom-mailx [23:41] * mailutils [23:41] xubuntu: I think for that you will need to go to Places -> Connect to Server. Select "Windows Share" as the service type. [23:41] wow... I need some tylenol [23:41] which should I choose do you think? [23:41] sorry floodbot1, it was an accident [23:42] Daughain: hmm dont really know how to help out here, but what about booting a linux live cd, setting up dhcp and tftp by following a tutorial? [23:42] Richturd: did you get sorted? [23:42] No [23:42] xubuntu: If you aren't sure what information to use there, you should be able to find it by "Browse Network" button from that dialog [23:42] why alsamixer doesn't control HDMI output? [23:42] dibs: The package Pici suggests uses an alternative command-line mail than the one I suggested... either should do [23:42] I havent captainIan [23:42] il try that [23:42] genii and pici, thank you [23:43] I also cannot run some video formats on my netbook remix like, WMV [23:43] Richturd: in terminal, type uname -a and paste the output here [23:43] Richturd: that's probably a matter of installing the codecs [23:43] Which ones do I get CaptainIan [23:43] captainIan, can't see the drives there (just my root and swap partitions) [23:44] Richturd: depends on what you want to play [23:44] cowgarden: ok [23:44] all codecs [23:44] I am wondering how to instruct aptitude to install a superseded version of a package on a PPA for example cherokee 0.99.37 (https://launchpad.net/~cherokee-webserver/+archive/ppa/+packages?field.name_filter=&field.status_filter=superseded&field.series_filter=) [23:44] luks__: OK, I have no removable media options available on the client system, LAN install is my only option. I've been following tut's for 14 hours so far. Bootp works fine, dhcp seems to be working. tftp seems to be the issue point. I'm trying to figure this out one step at a tme, and dont realy know what I am doing.=) [23:44] captainIan, I'll check with Gparted in a second [23:44] cowgarden: is the drive mounted? [23:44] in my plases i got no connect to server [23:45] where cherokee 0.99.39 is the lastest [23:45] captainIan, yes, just trying to unount it [23:45] cowgarden: if so, open terminal and type mount [23:45] cowgarden: it should say in the output [23:45] captainIan, yeah, found my drive [23:46] cowgarden: what is the filesys? [23:46] can someone here help me with my drive? preferable someone that is able to deal with german error texts [23:46] linux laptop 2.6.31-14-generic #48-Ubuntu SMP Fri Oct 16 14:04:26 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux, thats what I got back in terminal CaptainIan [23:46] Hi all; having printer issues; please see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1378314 [23:47] luks__: Rigfht now I am smply tryng to get a file from the wondows box to make sure tftp *is* working.

Webcam and what else? [23:47] nite. [23:47] cowgarden: are you 100% positive they're missing? [23:48] cowgarden: like, you are certain they arent accidentally in the wrong place or on a different drive? [23:48] Is there a way to install a superseded (not the latest) package from a PPA ? [23:49] captainIan, happens for the second time now, so yes === onunder is now known as oneunder [23:49] yml: Contact leonelnunez from the PPA link to update the PPA or compile it yourself. [23:49] hey does anybody know how do i change voltage in DC from plus to minus [23:49] ? [23:49] Ok... lemme read a nugget of info and i'll be right back [23:49] how do I delete partitions? [23:50] are you going to help me or not CaptainIan [23:50] Johnny_425, use Gparted, that is the easiest [23:50] okay, thanks [23:50] hi! [23:50] would ubuntu 32-bit version run on an amd64? [23:50] kinja-sheep: you mean that there is no way to instruct aptitude to pick a particular version of that list ? [23:50] Richturd: I didnt see you reply to my last question... [23:50] infid: yes [23:50] Richturd: Aside from the video file not playing, what else was up? Webcam and what else? [23:50] yml: From the PPA? Perhaps you want !version [23:50] captainIan, oh man, gparted stalled, i kille dit and now it wont start again. I smell bad things.... [23:50] yml: Also, !pinning [23:51] cowgarden: slow down... [23:51] luks__ can all 32 bit os's run on a 64 bit machine? ie windows vista 32 on an amd 64? [23:51] infid: yes ;) [23:51] cool [23:51] cowgarden: maybe there's something else going on [23:51] kinja-sheep: I am going to look into this 2 commands [23:51] !version | yml [23:51] yml: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy » [23:51] captainIan, maybe we should look if an undelte program will find the files? [23:51] !pinning | yml [23:51] yml: pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto [23:52] cowgarden: are you SURE it's fat32 and not NTFS? [23:52] i'm using network-manager-gnome with kde and i was trying to reset my gnome keyring password so i deleted .gnome2/keyrings/* but now when i use netowkr-manager-gnome from systray to connect to a network the password isn't remembered (nor does it prompt me for a gnome keyring password) [23:52] captainIan, yes, Gparted said so and I run into trouble with the 4gb limit once in the past [23:52] ok [23:53] cowgarden: read about this- http://en.kioskea.net/faq/sujet-729-recovering-lost-files [23:54] in mailx what do you press to end your email and send it? [23:54] captainIan, more important than the files was however a reliable filesys :) [23:55] cowgarden: if you wanted a reliable FS, why on earth are you using fat(anything)? [23:55] compiz dies w segmentation fault. Any idea what to do next? http://pastebin.com/mb0b75b2 [23:55] captainIan, to lazy to reformat and to little space... is ntfs better? i need to dualboot [23:56] Buonasera a tutti [23:56] cowgarden: you can convert the drive from fat32 to ntfs [23:56] cowgarden: no reformat needed [23:56] captainIan, ah, right. and you recommend that, yes? [23:57] cowgarden: it is better... more feature-licious [23:57] cowgarden: still not a great fs, but better than fat32 or fat... [23:58] ok [23:58] Hello all. Why would anyone use multiple swap partitions? [23:58] undecim: ru still around? [23:58] Jarxes: yup [23:58] kinja-sheep: I read the documentation you sent me but this is not exactly what I ma trying to do. I tack the changes a PPA which release new version fairly regularly. The situation that I am trying to solve is after an update I found out that the lastest deb on this PPA is broken. so how can I install a superseded one ? [23:59] Yea i got connection to my readyNAS to work
