[00:13] desnaike, the driver can't read the EDID for the monitor [00:13] jackhigh: and did it work ? [00:13] RandomizeR exact card [00:13] but the kernel is on ubuntu's web it has a kernel 2.6.x.31-14 [00:13] this is old [00:14] novato_br: the new kernel will be in the next release [00:14] guys one lame question i downloaded ps3-media server but i cant install it what to do?

I'm not on ubuntu, but shouldnt the kernel update for you automagically [00:16] novato_br: yes [00:17] novato_br: it should just be an auto update [00:17] anyone can hlp my with a pgpkey? [00:17] ezfox: no it didnt ive given up now thanks for your help [00:17] I have had a lot problems on ubuntu installation too [00:17] novato_br: In what regard? [00:17] novato_br: well, you can use the later release, but it is still buggy and under development. I think there is a ppa with the mainline kernels that may have a later release [00:17] I got ubuntu karmic koala [00:17] RandomizeR nvidia-settings installed [00:18] okay. I don't remember the name of the person I just told I'l help... [00:18] and it does work properly with nvidia video chipset 7050 [00:18] I was 'Shazbutts' [00:18] hey guys... pgp key help? [00:18] me [00:18] ah okay [00:18] shazbotmcnasty: it was me [00:18] magnus, what video card do you have? [00:19] RandomizeR what driver is installed [00:19] desnaike, yeah, nvidia-settings [00:19] shazbotmcnasty: well i dont know this is my lap top.... [00:19] Ovidiu: whats the problem? [00:19] if you don't know open a terminal, and type 'lspci -nn' [00:19] is there a way to install the linux on pendrive by command line? [00:19] maybe it solve my problem [00:19] desnaike, tried both open and nvidia drivers, currently using the nvidia one cuz i need hardware acceleration [00:20] then go to pastebin.com and paste all of that information that was the output into that form and hit enter [00:20] hi danbhfive! I have problems decrypting a mail [00:20] then link me to that page [00:20] ok do you want to go private chat? [00:20] sure [00:20] easyer to read [00:20] desnaike, all i'm trying to do is tell the driver to ignore my EDID and not try to find out the resolution by itself, and just let me force a 1280x1024 resolution [00:20] Ovidiu: you should just describe your issue, and if someone can help, they will [00:21] desnaike, current xorg.config: http://pastebin.com/f15370b8d [00:21] I've creata a pgpkey several hours ago .. on other computer and.... [00:21] now I received a email and cannot decrypt [00:21] Randomizer could be wrong version 177 or 180 [00:22] what are u using [00:22] novato_br: not sure about the command line, but you might want to check out this site: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/ [00:22] karmin [00:22] has guides and stuff on how to install [00:22] i looked at pastebin [00:22] desnaike, checking, but i think 180 [00:22] What's the easiest way to map keys to other keys? Specifically I want to map ctrl-; to escape [00:23] hey guys, im trying to mount 2x 500gb raid0 sata disks to ubuntu, after running mdadm -Cv /dev/md4 -l0 -n2 -c64 /dev/sdb4 /dev/sdc4 its giving me this http://pastebin.com/m51f6346d [00:23] im doing this to retrieve data and not setup a new raid0, so should i continue to create the array or cancel? [00:23] shudder, could I tell a little story about my troubles here? [00:23] desnaike, it's probably not the driver's fault, i'm suspecting it can't read the EDID cuz the monitor is VGA and the graphics card outputs HDMI, and i'm connecting it through an adapter [00:23] desnaike, most probably the adapter messes up the EDID stuff [00:23] desnaike, driver is 185 btw [00:24] shudder, I'm working hardly with ubuntu. [00:24] desnaike, but tried older version and got the same result, also windows couldn't read the EDID either, but windows still has my resolution in the list :( [00:25] Ovidiu: you should post all the details of your problem, and use pastebin for the error. Maybe someone can help. I only know a little about pgp keys [00:25] !pastebin | Ovidiu [00:25] Ovidiu: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [00:25] desnaike, i've been pulling my hair out with this for almost a month now, and i've moved to linux completely at work and this stupid problem is making me unable to use linux at home at all :( [00:26] first problem: webcam ( ID 5986:0241 ) from my notebook positivo premium, to solve this problem I've tried to install uvcdriver and patched it, but it didn't work. So they told me that I could try to use ndiswrapper to install the webcam. But I can't do that without internet no notebook [00:26] s/on in* [00:27] How do I see what kernel I am running? [00:27] so, I tried to make a network between desktop ( win7 ) and notebook (ubuntu 9.10) => it didn't working too [00:27] jolaren, type: uname -r [00:27] so, I thought a lot things to solve this problem with local internet [00:28] What would cause Gparted not to recognize a ssd drive? [00:28] and I didn't know to solve [00:28] novato_br: run a tempary cable - is proberly the easiest way [00:28] RamdomizeR did the come from ubuntu repos [00:28] drivers [00:28] tempary? what did you mean that? [00:28] by that* [00:29] run a cable.. install stuff.. remove cable [00:29] * Dr_Willis has missed the original propblem [00:29] blue cable with rj45 [00:29] i have downloaded the full ubuntu repositorys [00:29] it doesn't work, Dr_Willis [00:29] there are a lot problems, Dr_Willis [00:29] thats 54 gb of stuff including source code [00:29] novato_br: clarify what dosetn work exactly then. [00:30] when I was trying to solve one problem shows another [00:30] ive never heard of using ndiswrappers to use 'webcam drivers' i would be suprised if that works === IdleOne_ is now known as IdleOne [00:30] yeah [00:30] Dr_Willis: I thought ndiswrapper only works for wireless drivers [00:30] to tell me that it works [00:30] yeah, shudder [00:30] I know [00:30] shudder: and even then . its slowly becomming more obsolete [00:30] but it is possible to use ndiswrapper to webcam [00:30] no one here has any idea about raid?! [00:30] Dr_Willis: I generally just use it for convenience [00:31] novato_br: ive never heard of it being used for webcams [00:31] RandomizeR what i found on google suggest the adapter and repo drivers not being as good [00:31] ok, Dr_Willis [00:31] Dr_Willis: I was too lazy for find my driver for arch so I just installed the one of the cd [00:31] but this original problem is the webcam [00:31] ciao a tutti [00:31] webcam doesn't work properly on ubuntu 9.10 [00:31] webcams i find either work with cheese.. or are totally unsupported.. [00:31] g0tcha: did you even ask a question about raid? [00:32] RandomizeR fixes were to do manual install with drivers from nvidia site hope it works [00:32] I've tried to use cheese and it didn't work too [00:32] desnaike, well, right now i'd be happy if i could just set the resolution manually [00:32] camarok [00:32] too === Ovidiu is now known as EagleWatch [00:32] novato_br: then it may fall in the 'totally unsupported' catagory [00:32] arghh2d2, yeah, sure i did.. im trying to mount 2x 500gb raid0 sata disks to ubuntu, after running mdadm -Cv /dev/md4 -l0 -n2 -c64 /dev/sdb4 /dev/sdc4 its giving me this http://pastebin.com/m51f6346d .. [00:32] all these various progreams do is access the /dev/video (or whatever its called) device. [00:32] g0tcha: n/m i scrolled up a bit further and see your ? [00:32] novato_br: is there an obscure driver for it somewhere? [00:32] arghh2d2, im trying to mount them so i can retrieve the data i have on them [00:32] what do I type in to open my firewall? [00:32] no, Dr_Willis I see someone they've get to use the webcam [00:33] yeah, shudder [00:33] novato_br: on ubuntu 9.10? or some other disrto? [00:33] err... what's the command I type in to configure my firewall? I can't find it in the menu :/ [00:33] !firewall | markizano [00:33] markizano: 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 [00:33] desnaike, i think it would work with a DVI monitor, the problem is that my LCD is connected through a DVI-to-VGA adapter [00:33] After installing Ubuntu on a Vista machine and resizing the Windows partition, I can dual boot. However, after starting Vista I'm told that one of my disks needs to be checked for consistency every time I boot into Vista. What should I do? [00:34] desnaike, i found a tool on ViewSonic's website that would have got me the monitor's EDID on windows, but still didn't work [00:34] jarray52: even if you let vista check.. then reboot back to vista? [00:34] novato_br: but you need the latest kernel to install it? [00:34] 5986:0241 Bison (MSI Wind Top AE1900 nettop) Bison Electronics => http://linux-uvc.berlios.de/ [00:34] jarray52, delete vista? [00:34] desnaike, if i had the EDID.bin file, i could've specified that to the driver manually and it would have worked [00:34] id of the camera is 5986:0241 [00:34] Dr_Willis: do you know how to start up the GUI so I can setup ip masquerading? [00:34] novato_br: whats that from? dmesg output? thats just shows its detected the device.. dosent mean its supported. [00:34] but i've tried to compile the driver it doesn't work [00:34] pfifo: I wish. My wife needs her Iphone app that only runs on Vista. [00:34] !ipmasq [00:34] RandomizeR i agree from what i've googled it's the adapter [00:34] markizano: Nope. Not really [00:34] !ics | markizano [00:34] markizano: 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 [00:34] desnaike, but i can't even find my monitor's edid.bin anywhere online (ViewSonic VA712) [00:34] novato_br: have you tried the current alpha? [00:35] when I run 2 monitors as seprate x screens it make gnome-panel crash, dose anyone know of a fix for this? [00:35] novato_br: what do you mean, it gives you errors or compiles fine and doesn't work [00:35] Dr_Willis, when I make lsmod |grep uvcdriver => it shows nothing [00:35] jarray52, try the BDC route , look it up , there are several tutorials [00:35] Dr_Willis: thanks [00:35] no, danbhfive [00:35] where can I find the alpha? [00:35] novato_br: join #ubuntu+1 [00:36] on ubuntu website hasn't alpha version [00:36] desnaike, so all i'm hoping to do now as a last resort is to tell it to ignore the EDID and just set the resolution manually [00:36] pfifo, as far as I am aware gnome-panel will only run once per user session... multiple x sessions are not supported i do not think. [00:36] shudder, on compilation there are two errors [00:36] desnaike, someone told me about an IgnoreEDID option, and i tried it but still no luck [00:36] novato_br: do you have all the compile packages installed? [00:37] novato_br: like build-essential etc.? [00:37] markizana; you should turn on cloaking [00:37] novato_br: #ubuntu+1 has directions for the alpha. The alpha has the x.32 kernel. You might as well try booting that and seeing if your webcam works [00:38] people dont turn one cloaking anymore do they? [00:38] airtonix, it starts on both monitors then crashes, the restarts, on and on till i kill it off, how about this, is there a way to disable starting it on my second monitor? really i dont even want it on that one anyway. OK and method 3 that im willing to go with, uninstall gnome-panel but what can I replace it with? [00:38] if they have ssh and i has there root pass (root kit) i can get in [00:38] Hi, I'm trying to install OCRopus on ubuntu 9.04 but whenever I issue the 'scons' command in the iulib folder I get the following error: "scons: *** [utils/dgraphics.o] Error 1 scons: building terminated because of errors." here is the link for the OCRopus install instructions: http://code.google.com/p/ocropus/ [00:38] can any ony help my importing a PGPKey [00:38] Hello, is there any workaround for WUBI install. CHKDSK /R error etc? [00:38] desnaike, ok, i have an idea that i think might work [00:39] shudder, I think so [00:39] desnaike, i have my old PC now with an old ATI 9000 card, it used to recognize my monitor just fine [00:39] RandomizeR 2 packages read-edid and xresprobe installed worked for https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/universe-bugs/2009-March/065568.html\ [00:39] yea, Dandel [00:39] BluesKaj: EasyBCD? [00:39] danbhfive, [00:39] desnaike, i'm gonna unplug my monitor, plug it in that PC, try the EDID dumping tool, and see if it'll work [00:39] pfifo, apologies, it's not something i'm familiar with. It's been five years since i last bothered with separate x sessions on two monitors. [00:39] desnaike, nop, tried that, didn't work either [00:40] Dr_Willis: If I let Vista check the partition, will it still allow me to boot? [00:40] its funny, in twinview mode it works, and with xinerama it works, but both of those are ugly [00:40] desnaike, brb, i'll try that PC switch thing...

Version 4.2.0.8-3ubuntu1 (karmic), package size 11912 kB, installed size 13348 kB [00:41] pfifo, but as far as alternatives to gnome-panel ... depends on what you use it for ? taskbar & clock > tint2 , launchers ? xcompmgr + docky [00:41] How do i find out if i'm behind a firewall or NAT? [00:41] look that, guys ==> http://www.pastebin.ca/1770106 [00:42] dmesg [00:42] pfifo, i find it totally reasonable that gnome panel would work properly with two monitors using twinview (since it is just one xsession whose screen boundaries are defined by the nvidia driver config tool) [00:43] AlexC, behind a nat ? use an online tool to find out f your wan ip is the same as your machines ip [00:43] how would i change my terminal background and letter color? [00:43] blah I give up [00:43] airtonix, actually i fond a bug report of this exact thing [00:44] if they have ssh and i has there root pass (root kit) i can get in [00:44] oh wait cancel that last send lol [00:44] airtonix: like geoip? [00:44] haven489: we dont support illegal activities here [00:44] please stop [00:44] IdleOne, was an accedent [00:44] I was try to repost my Q === gilgamesh is now known as gilgamesh__ [00:44] AlexC, i was thinking something more like this : http://www.whatsmyip.org/ [00:45] how would i change my Terminal background and text color? === tato is now known as tato_42 [00:45] been looking and nothing has come up [00:45] I will brb, going to try this fix [00:45] haven489: what terminal? [00:45] gnome terminal [00:45] in ubuntu 9.10 [00:45] preferences [00:45] menu's etc... [00:45] ok ty [00:45] AlexC, big numbers at the top of the page is your wan IP... then you use ifconfig to get the inet addr of your nic card...

[00:47] arghh2d2: right now, you [00:47] no sh!t holmes [00:47] I'm trying to kill X so I can install some Nvidia drivers, but for the love of christ it keeps saying it's opened. I'm using Ubuntu 9.10. I'm alreayd in the terminal session and I'm completely lost! [00:47] please watch your language also [00:47] airtonix, well i deleted .gconf/apps/panel and now the panel atleast dosent crash :D [00:48] Hmm. Gnome-terminal has settings here to set the background and transparancey In its 'profiles' settings [00:48] pfifo, did it reset to default settings ? (assuming you made any customisations) [00:48] It says that ndiswrapper isn't installed and I should use the apt-get command to download it.. But I can't download it becasue I have no internet connection.. Is there a way I can burn the ndiswrapper to a CD and install it like that? [00:48] Dr_Willis, allowing windows to do the check seemed to work without a problem. [00:48] Justin_`: packages.ubuntu.com then copy the file over to the machine without internet [00:48] Justin_`: the package should be on the cd itself [00:49] jarray52: Ive found that using hibernate/suspend and booting to a different OS - can often confuse things [00:49] just browse through the cd to find it [00:49] Ah ok [00:49] THanks [00:49] anyone ever controlled gwenview with lirc? [00:49] and install the utils, ndiswrapper common, and ndisgtk [00:49] i can't get it to work [00:49] Ok [00:49] airtonix, my one and only customization is a launcher to terminal, easy enough to replace, im guessing if I delete the panel from monitor #2 and logout 'saving session' it will probbally go away [00:49] Dr_Willis: Thanks. [00:49] jarray52: if you shareing the drive with both os's - i would suggest not using hibernate/suspend at all [00:50] airtonix: they are the same. I thought i might be because i've been trying to set up a few services and can't connect properly, but it's probably my lack of configuration skill [00:50] Is there anybody that can help me install OCRopus on ubuntu 9.04? I get an error when I try to use the 'scons' command I get an error that there were some build errors [00:50] well i'm still trying to get rid of xubuntu it's at the end and it says processing triggers for libc-bin ...ldconfig deferred processing now taking place. and now it's just stitting there with the promp just flashing === sacho_ is now known as Sacho [00:51] tato_42: it could take a little time [00:51] Heres another thing that isnt ubuntus fault but someone might be able to help, I can only run 1 instance of gimp, that sucks for doing dual monitor graphics work [00:51] arghh2d2, nope didnt work [00:51] ok just don't reboot then let it do it's thing [00:51] tato_42: yeah, let it.

[01:07] tato_42: ive noticed some issuse wehre teh screensaver/powersaver stuff kicks in when i plug in/unplug [01:07] kellopes: There should be an option in gparted to resize a partition, it will check what data is there and it'll move it into the resized partition [01:07] tato_42: its proberly best to always update/upgrade/install new stuff while on AC power. [01:07] anyone knows if tor will work in a virtual machine? [01:07] anyone know of any software to manage a network (like traffic etc.)? [01:08] kellopes: if you go to the partition drop down menu in gparted, there should be a resize/move option, use this and it should be safe [01:08] I've done multiple partition resizes without trouble [01:08] yep i didn't think it would take this long [01:08] how do i install a theme from console?

[01:26] q: i need python-support 0.9 but ubuntu only has 0.87 or something. do I need to enanle a repo or something so i can upgrade? [01:26] markizano: just for a wifi driver that shouldn't be a problem..

[01:26] desnaike, or my linux days are finally starting to pay off ;-) i can't believe how dumb i was to not have thought of this solution earlier! [01:26] and other packages only available in the debain repos... :/ [01:26] markizano: grab a madwifi snapshot tarball or something? [01:26] can some one help me i cant get into my pc after activation my graffic card the skreen is black [01:27] desnaike, here's the magic line: Option "CustomEDID" "ViewSonic VA712:/etc/X11/viewsonic-edid.bin" [01:27] I've looked all over google for an answer to my question, but to no avail.

[01:28] blakkheim: this is a debian base-install which means i'd have to not only get the madwifi drivers, but all of its dependants, which is a lot more than i thought it was :/ [01:28] can some one help me with ati 4850 cant get it to woork [01:28] erebos: you probably are running a video driver that doesn't support it [01:28] blakkheim: well, not this system, but the target system is [01:28] plustax Ati radeon x1600 [01:28] desnaike, thanks again for your help :-) [01:28] erebos: did you enable to fglrx driver? [01:28] markizano: are you sure? i just compiled them and loaded the module :/ [01:28] erebos perhaps you dont have your video drivers completely updated? [01:28] RandomizeR post the fix at ubuforums i found people that could use it [01:28] blakkheim, would there possibly be any way to sorta 'kick' my headless machine to make it reset the ethernet *now* so i can configure ifplugd? the router runs linux, so i'm wondering if there's sorta a reset or wakeup i could do from it? [01:29] desnaike, ok, will do ;-) [01:29] erebos I can vnc in and see if I can fix it if you have remote desktop turned on [01:29] militant: not that i know of bro [01:29] blakkheim: hmm... how many packages was installed with the install? [01:29] can some one help me with a black skreen? [01:29] erebos: real easy on ubuntu [01:29] I'm out [01:29] markizano: they weren't packages. it is source code that you compile into a kernel module that you load to make the wifi work [01:29] erebos: System > Administration > Hardware Drivers [01:29] plustax sorry man router had firewalled [01:29] blakkeheim: oh, i thought that was depricated in favor of the module-assistant [01:29] erebos: it will do the grunt work for you [01:30] markizano: don't even know what that is [01:30] erebos: please don't PM me [01:30] ups sorry [01:30] blakkheim: $apt-cache show module-assistant [01:30] !pm | erebos [01:30] erebos: 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. [01:30] blakkheim, okie. one last question. ifplugd is for physical disconnects, so would the 5-10 seconds my router is rebooting actually trigger it? it's never actually unplugged from the ethernet [01:30] can some one help me out? can get on my pc, the skreen turned black after i activated the ati driver and rebooted [01:30] markizano: i know how to work aptitude already :P [01:30] erebos: System > Administration > Hardware Drivers [01:31] how do i restart xserver from terminal? [01:31] erebos: then activate the proprietary driver [01:31] blakkheim: i was jst referencing the package so you could see it's detail :P [01:31] militant: it seems to work pretty well on my server, especially when my old router would drop out for a few seconds/minutes [01:31] is it x11-common? to restart xserver [01:31] erebos: if that works, then you should be able to enable the desktop effects from there [01:31] can some one help me update and install my ati driver from the terminal+ [01:31] If I try to pull a lucid package into karmic (there's no backport), am I just asking for trouble?

I thought I'd be avoiding the hassle with Ubuntu. :-/ [01:34] aaah tu [01:35] question [01:35] hi all [01:35] Dunkirk: can i ask why did you switch? i use gentoo :) [01:35] my computer keeps going to sleep even when i told it not to .. how do i stop this [01:35] Dunkirk: Cutting edge vs as stable as they can get it.....

[01:36] Umeaboy: im on 9.10 [01:36] Yes, but are you fully updated? [01:36] i think so yes i am [01:36] blakkheim: Well, I still haven't committed. I'm weighing my options. And, you're both right, libvirt is latest in Gentoo's portage right now. The PPA has the lastest for Ubuntu only in Lucid, and like I said, there's no backport. [01:36] compiling shouldn't scare you, installing should though enough that you'll be smart and make it a package [01:36] Hokay. I have a networking problem. Ubuntu says I'm connected to the selected network, but I am not able to browse the internet. [01:36] Redache: i have unr 9.10. i dont seem a 'preferences->Switch desktop' or anything [01:36] Reading package lists... Done [01:36] Umeaboy: yes i am [01:37] Dunkirk: stay with gentoo imo [01:37] how can i uninstall kde from ubuntu? [01:37] It just seems like Gentoo's "quality" has been slipping lately, and I'm afraid all the "critical mass" has swung Ubuntu's way.

[01:55] Test confirmed. [01:55] ubuntu here [01:55] It's odd because last night my wifi connection was very unstable. When I switched to windows I was not lagging or disconnecting so I thought it must be the linux drivers. But now tonight, so far, I seem to be connected alright. [01:55] so I can't account for that. [01:55] Linux wifi shouldn't just 'heal itself' i wouldn't think. [01:55] emma, Karmic has been a bumpy road for many people, not just you. [01:56] is redhat better than ubuntu?

[02:13] infid: The good news is, in grid 0.9 you can drag windows to edges and corners of the screen and they'll be resized that way so you don't need keybindings for it [02:13] so i tried unetbootin, but could not get it to boot off my external hd [02:14] rtvdfyjl' [02:14] Coachj: Wow. Cool. I didn't know there was a Ubuntu prior to 2004. :) [02:14] cvbj;l'' [02:14] so using a frugal install on the hd, can i actually overwrite windows and just install ubuntu?

[02:31] Random832: yeah would be nice to keep my config files [02:31] java works, but no flash whatsoever unless in run gfv [02:31] Carlis, easiest way is to have a separate harddrive or partition formatted with fat32, that way you can exchange files between the operatingsystems. other options are a usb-stick or burn stuff to cd or dvd.

[02:32] Carlis: then yes. [02:32] I'm trying to write a small "bash script" to configure a piece of software, I want to display in terminal "You need x y and z packages installed. Once you have installed these, press "Enter" to continue" -- how do I do the "wait until any key is pressed" to continue? [02:33] goose: /j #bash [02:33] Random832: single user mode? how do I do this? just enter "root" in gdm? [02:33] no. [02:33] how do i open it. The file is saved in the desktop of ubuntu [02:33] With magic! [02:33] hunt; you know the "recovery mode" you never use in the boot menu? [02:33] Carlis: windows cannot read linux filesystems, with the exception of ext2 (with a 3rd party driver) [02:33] that's single user mode. [02:34] blakkheim: before I do, I should clarify, it's not an actual scripting language I'm using, just a series of separated commands (cd ~; svn co http://blah.net blah; echo SVN downloaded, press enter to continue) [02:34] how much memory should ubuntu be using after a reboot with no apps running? [02:34] kslen: ubuntu is pretty bloated so i would say a few hundred mb [02:34] Random832: yeah... but there is the problem that I use opensuse grub with custom ubuntu entry, I'm already on a live-cd can't I do it from here? [02:34] kslen: That depends on your computer. [02:34] 7 [02:34] Can someone help me run my DWA-130? Im having trouble starting it up you know, the light on it doesnt even glow! Its a D-Link Wifi adapter [02:34] you didn't mention that [02:34] at the moment, my laptop is using 987 of 1017mb .. o__O [02:34] and there's nothing running besides xchat [02:35] kslen: free -m | grep buffer [02:35] where are the drives mounted in your live cd environment? [02:35] aaron11: Have you tried with the windows-driver using ndiswrapper? [02:35] blakkheim, -/+ buffers/cache: 471 522 [02:36] kslen: then you still have more than half of your ram free [02:36] Random832: under /media/ [02:36] blakkheim, Mem: 1017288k total, 980684k used [02:36] ok just move the stuff from the one that's in the home dir to the empty home dir in the root one [02:36] hello blak [02:37] blakkheim, does ubuntu confiscate the memoryspace or something? [02:37] anyone here said do this lspci to see if Ubuntu sees the wifi card. I saved the content in file.txt and is saved in ubuntu desktop and I want to show it to u because Ubuntu 9 [02:37] you should probably actually copy and delete [02:37] cp -a [02:37] 9.10 can´t connect to the wirelss [02:37] kslen: the command i had you run will show how much ram is used/free. linux caches ram for future use and that's why it appears to be using almost all of it. [02:37] alrighty [02:38] When I run 'iwconfig' It only shows "lo no wireless extensions." <-- I have installed the drivers... [02:38] Justin_`: is the interface up? [02:38] hunt; then just remove the dir from the etc/fstab, unmount both drives, and run gparted [02:38] How do I check that? [02:38] Justin_`: ifconfig [02:38] Random832: what does the -a do in the command? [02:39] hunt: man cp [02:39] Hi, I've tried Ex Falso, EasyTag, Cowbell, Picard.... I want a program that will go through my entire Music folder, check each file by itself, and find Tag and Album Cover, and save it to the file. Is there something? [02:39] No, Only some "Local loopback" is showing [02:39] anyone here said do this lspci to see if Ubuntu sees the wifi card. I saved the content in file.txt and is saved in ubuntu desktop and I want to show it to u because Ubuntu 9.10 can´t connect to the wireless [02:39] blakheim: I looked there, it says archive [02:39] Justin_`: then it's not up. run ifconfig -a [02:40] Carlis: upload the file to http://pastebin.ca [02:40] there is no diffrent betweet the commands blakkheim. [02:40] They show the exact same information [02:40] Justin_`: then your module isn't loaded and the interface isn't available [02:40] Random832, so I cd to /home and then do "cp -a username /media/OTHERPARTITION"? [02:41] blakkheim, I followed 'https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/Netgear_WG311_v3' [02:41] Random832: or should I add sudo? [02:41] this is channel of help [02:41] MeXTuX: If you're using SSL, take a look at http://geekswithblogs.net/Lance/archive/2005/08/23/50912.aspx [02:41] How do i upload the file if I don´t have connection to internet in ubunu [02:42] Carlis: transfer it to a different computer first. [02:42] thanks [02:43] a ver media whitch [02:44] How do I recover my password with a livecd? [02:44] svip: You can't, but you can reset it. [02:44] I don`t have flash memory right now [02:44] tonyyarusso: How? [02:44] svip: chroot into the installed system and use the 'sudo passwd' command to change it [02:44] Thanks for helping me [02:44] svip: what he said :P [02:44] shake.... [02:44] svip: or *not reccomdneded* alter the /etc/shadow file to make the password blanl. [02:45] blank [02:45] Umeaboy: yes [02:45] actually it would be 'sudo passwd username' to set teh users password. :) [02:45] Dr_Willis: Ubuntu's PAM policy doesn't allow blank passwords currently. [02:45] tonyyarusso: ive not tried it in ages. :) [02:45] Umeaboy: Too scared tho [02:46] Dr_Willis: You can however use crypt() to come up with the hash and copy-paste that into shadow to avoid the chroot step if you can at least mount it.

The Brasero log is at http://pastebin.ca/1770235 [02:52] -0? [02:52] kslen: vinagre can be a bit of a load. [02:52] Does this mean it's a hardware problem, or the disk has a scratch? [02:52] kslen: and anything with flash can alsi cause issues [02:52] karpus: this is really really hacky, but if you want to prevent a file from being changed at all, at the filesystem level, "chattr +i filename" you could do that on the music files [02:52] (from looking at the disk with my eye, it looks brand new...)

[05:03] tony121, I agree. I like linux, but windows integrates with everything better [05:03] I mean come on! Why is it so complicated to just slam my laptop on and off a docking station and have it just work? [05:03] Perhaps we should take the Windows chat to another channel? [05:03] JulieJulie, you can install dummy packages such as xubuntu-desktop (cant remember exact name) [05:03] jrcarr2: which part of your docking station doesn't work with linux [05:03] jes i mean just like u jrcarr2 [05:03] JulieJulie, i'll find for you [05:03] is website not loading quickly maybe due to poor connection? i have like 70% [05:04] i wish linux had a monolithic kernel [05:04] blakkheim, for reasons that elude me, it never comes back when i remove it from the docking station unless I reboot [05:04] Hmm. When I use ifconfig to set an interface to be pointopoint, shouldn't that result in the remote device having an IP address I can see somewhere?

[05:05] but of course that's my only nitpick. it annoys me because I PREFER to work in linux rather than on windows [05:05] sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop [05:05] xubuntu/xfce is still pretty bloated [05:05] not going to make a huge difference [05:06] JulieJulie, you can get ones that look like windows 3.1 that are really light [05:06] JulieJulie: You could try fluxbox or window maker, they're more lean than xfce [05:06] just run kde2 [05:06] Out_Cold, lol ah I dont want to look at something that is not as pretty lol [05:06] Out_Cold, I know sounds vain lol.

[05:14] Out_Cold, lol Im sorry change what? like over to xubuntu? [05:14] yes to the xfce manager [05:14] JulieJulie I don't have one handy, the desktop and file manager are intergrated in gnome and in the KDE desktop, making them use more memory. Xfce is simply a less demanding dessktop and it is part or the Xubuntu version of Ubuntu. [05:14] wow [05:14] only 6.06 works with my old eMac? [05:14] o.o; [05:15] I cal it crazy. [05:15] keeleyt83, try this maybe? sudo bash -c "echo JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/ >> /etc/environment" [05:15] call* [05:15] jhb1608, and there is no support for that stuff [05:15] Out_Cold, not a clue I thought I was supposed just type that into command line? [05:15] Then Yellow Dog Linux will be only way [05:15] goodl uck then [05:15] should the Medibuntu repo be added to a new install of Ubuntu 9.10? [05:15] JulieJulie, after it's installed, you log out and change your session [05:16] jrcarr2, comes back empty. i dont have it set in the environment or in the bash settings file [05:16] :) sry i think i misunderstood [05:17] nm. still get an error. what does that cmd do? [05:17] adds it to your etc/environment file [05:17] can anyone boot me some listerine? [05:17] best I can think of [05:17] sheesh [05:17] i tried adding it there and to the bash. no luck. hrm... [05:17] its like it is set somewhere [05:17] the white man wont sell me his minty fire [05:17] coach, why not?

[05:21] it was in there :-[, jcarr2. must have set that a while back. i guess i have to log back in to see a change [05:21] thanks for your help, jrcarr2 [05:23] Hi I was wondering if anyone knows if the closed via video driver support tv-out openchrome doesn't do the job [05:23] ? [05:23] hello [05:23] ive heard vias drivers a joke [05:23] hi ezrafree [05:24] anyone know how i could get rid of the choice to boot into my old kernel version in grub? [05:24] ezrafree: get rid of the old kernels, update grub's menu [05:24] sacrifice tobacco to the metal buzzing box god [05:25] edit grub.conf I believe [05:25] anyone know anything about VIA video drivers? [05:25] PostingBear: stick to the topic, please [05:26] If anybody has a minute I would appreciate some help with my rt2500 that is showing device not managed. I went to nm settings and changed the ifupdown=false to true and restarted nm-applet but it did nothing. === mrqbuster is now known as sensodyne [05:28] !by chiruvol === bukharin is now known as gorgonzola [05:28] "sudo locate grub.conf" pulls up no returns... [05:29] did an updatedb first as well [05:29] ezrafree, grub2? [05:29] well perhaps someone could point me to a link on how to install closed drivers from the terminal? [05:29] bazhang: not sure, this is ubuntu 9.10 if that helps [05:29] i can't seem to find a decent guide [05:30] rofl [05:30] ezrafree, was it fresh installed or upgraded, and if the latter did you choose the maintainers version ie grub2 sudo update-grub should work if so /msg ubottu grub2 for the wiki link [05:31] fresh install here [05:31] then check the wiki, that command should do it [05:31] ahh yes, update-grub seems like it works cool [05:32] I think maybe you want to look for menu.lst instead of grub.conf [05:32] robs227, not for grub2, and never want to directly edit the new grub config file [05:33] I guess that makes sense. [05:33] im just getting into gentoo, editing grub.conf is what I would do there, thought it might be the same [05:34] but i do need advice on installing closed via drivers though, are they in the repositories for ubuntu? [05:35] how do I search the repositories using the terminal. I am building a carputer with linuxICE (ubuntu based) and can only use terminal [05:35] Is there any tool to tag files on linux, so that one can do tag-based search?! [05:37] robs227, aptitude would be handy [05:38] my firefox wll not launch :/ [05:39] is there anyone around who is familiar enough with Pidgin to perhaps help me dagnose a problem i am having connecting to facebook chat? [05:39] charles__: /join #pidgin [05:39] thank you :) [05:39] robs227: aptitude search $string [05:40] blakkheim, what if you have no $string? [05:40] Out_Cold: you're supposed to replace that with the term you want to search for.. :/ [05:40] okay ill try that [05:40] blakkheim, but does it search inside descriptions? [05:41] thanks [05:41] Out_Cold: try it yourself [05:41] make me open a terminal :/ [05:41] hey, is anyone else havinng trouble accessing ubuntu one?

[05:47] Out_Cold, I switched over [05:47] i have been searching about google... but am not a experienced user to understand what to do [05:47] Out_Cold, it seems a lot more fluid [05:47] blakkheim, amazing how many ways you can get something done [05:47] oops.. [05:48] Out_Cold: you just said that dude [05:48] JulieJulie, and how do you like it? [05:48] :P [05:48] hit up accidentally [05:48] having /boot is the safest method [05:48] Out_Cold, I really don't mind it [05:48] does anyone know what i can do????? === ybeddyj is now known as Guest74911 [05:49] Out_Cold, it still seems like ubuntu to me nothing really changed except maybe its more straight lines than rounded out lines [05:49] excuse me I need some help with hardware related topic [05:49] it's about my ram ddr [05:50] ubuntu, you know which version of grub??

[05:51] ubuntu: if starting from the livecd takes 15 minutes i think you might want to consider a hardware upgrade bro [05:51] yes.... i am ready for that mentally.. not financially [05:52] ciao [05:52] ubuntu: specs?

If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » [05:52] my finances right now are very bad.. and thanks to windows and a bad motherbaord purchase, even my good one year old harddisk went bad! [05:52] Out_Cold, the way that I installed xubuntu, ubuntu from before is still taking up space on my hd? [05:52] JulieJulie: yes [05:53] blakkheim, so if I wanted to gain that space back I can just make a boot cd of xubuntu and reformat the drive and start from scratch to gain the space back? [05:53] JulieJulie: that's certainly one way of doing it, yes [05:53] JulieJulie, yes and no... it's lots of little packages that take up that space [05:53] blakkheim: AMD X2 3GHz proc, an old IDE 250 GB HDD, 2 GB RAM kingston is all fine I think. It is the motherboard that has been bad: BioStar 740G [05:53] blakkheim, is there a better way of doing? [05:54] Out_Cold: i wouldn't call gnome + ubuntu bloatware "little packages" [05:54] ubuntu: sounds ok to me, not sure why it takes so long to use the cd [05:54] Out_Cold, i only have 40gbs heh so I try to utalize as much as I can [05:54] JulieJulie: i would do what you were planning (although i would use a minimal iso instead of the full one) [05:54] blakkheim, well much smaller than the whole [05:55] a minimal iso? [05:55] !mini | JulieJulie [05:55] JulieJulie: 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 [05:55] but either ways.... i will change the motherboard soon as i have soem money. right now is starting up all over again, then booting again in live CD, then installing chatzila the only option for me? or can I type someting in the terminal or searchthrough the installation folder?? [05:55] ardchoille, u still around? [05:55] JulieJulie, after you install the minimal you just type "sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop [05:55] oh like before? [05:55] or.. use something less bloated [05:56] Out_Cold, what is the difference from the normal iso that i've downloaded compared to this minimal? [05:56] yes but from only a cli... no desktop yet [05:57] JulieJulie, a minimal would be without gnome... no bloat [05:57] java... java java java :) === jrcarr2 is now known as TheJavaKid [05:57] ok then... i have no other option, I wil restart and write down the grub version. anythign else i should do before coming into live CD blakkheim ?

[05:58] Out_Cold, and what is on my pc now is with or without gnome? lol [05:58] ubuntu: you don't have to do all that just to find the grub version lol, if it's 9.10 it's grub2, if it's earlier it's not [05:58] Out_Cold, what a lovely wink lol === schajee_ is now known as schajee [05:58] JulieJulie, with gnome AND xfce [05:58] well... it's 9.10 [05:58] :-/ === lordmortis|away is now known as lordmortis [05:58] where do I d/l the virtualbox puel edition? [05:58] ubuntu: then it's grub2 [05:58] yes it is [05:59] Out_Cold, lol so will it look the same? [05:59] i thought that number was too silly to say [05:59] so i kept quit [05:59] ubuntu, grub2... but i don't know grub2 at all [05:59] quite* [05:59] JulieJulie, after you install the minimal, and the xubuntu-desktop it will be just like now...

[06:44] usually swap is put in sda2 [06:44] :-/ [06:44] ok... i saw while the system was starting up 1.5 something [06:44] is that something?

[06:45] i installed 8.10 yesterday in order to get online and download and burn 9.10 [06:46] and today... while installing 9.10, i formatted the partition with 8.10 leavning everything else by itself.. was i supposed to do anything more? [06:46] ubuntu, so we are looking at the 8.10 install or the 9.10 install?? [06:46] wel right now there is only 9.10 in my system... not sure if 8.10 has left any remnants. i dont' knwo much about how linux works :-/ [06:47] maco: exact same error as running the dpkg configure -a [06:47] b0w: ok what if you do -c instead of -u ? [06:47] there's 9.10 in my HDD and i am in a 9.10 LIVE CD [06:47] ubuntu, i would recommend you start fresh. is the last partition your files disk?? [06:47] im allowed to ask for help here right? [06:47] yes yes [06:48] but i think i did a fresh install.. didn't I? [06:48] What does -c and -u etc. mean? What do you call them? === jay is now known as Guest86186 [06:48] i have 2 problems that have been frustraiting me for 2 days now [06:48] ubuntu, grab a paper, and we'll make a partition layout for you [06:49] i mean.... when the partition menu came for 9.10, i clicked on 'change' for the 8.10 partition and clicked the 'format' option and clicked 'next' [06:49] isnt't there anything else i can do???? [06:49] jimio, those are options and you can use man to see what they mean [06:49] i cant seem to get my dvd's to work nore can i get the PSX emulator to work [06:49] Thanks Out_Cold! I'll try that. [06:49] Ubuntu: what's the problem? [06:50] ubuntu, i'm not too sure what happened but you do have some weird partition setup.. and the grub error [06:50] hiatus, grub2 error 15 [06:50] the movies just wont play and the psx freezes at the load screen.... [06:50] are these 2 stmts different export PATH=$PATH=$HOME/Desktop/bin and export PATH=$PATH=/home/Desktop/bin [06:50] on a re-install [06:50] Ohhhh, bad grub install [06:50] but why does it say 1.5 in the start Out_Cold ? [06:51] ubuntu, it would be 8.10 if it was grub 1.5 [06:51] maco: i think we are missing something http://paste.ubuntu.com/365030/ already did adding at the end initrd.img-2.6.31-17-generic and 2.6.31-17-generic [06:51] i dont' ikonw much about the grub. just sure that there is a full 9.10 installation on my HDD right now [06:52] indus there is VLC for ubuntu? [06:52] yes [06:52] wow should have downloaded it ages ago lol [06:52] sudo apt-get install vlc [06:52] thanks Out_Cold i appreciate that [06:52] Yeah, vlc is even gpl software I believe [06:53] Its more of a linux player then it is a windows player [06:53] gpl software what's that? [06:53] now waht am i supposed to Out_Cold ? hiatus ??? [06:53] !gpl [06:53] gpl is the GNU General Public License. See http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html [06:54] updates are so fast compared to windows [06:54] Ubuntu: is it a fresh install? [06:54] ubuntu, i think you should remove partitions 1-3 and install again. this time make sure you install grub on sda1 and also /boot [06:54] wow its already done [06:54] how do i make sure of what you just said Out_Cold ? [06:54] MauritianGuy, and it doesn't ask you to restart 3 timnes in a row [06:55] are these 2 stmts different export PATH=$PATH=$HOME/Desktop/bin and export PATH=$PATH=/home/Desktop/bin [06:55] if it is jsut the grub, why can't i install just the grub right now or something like that??? why go through the whole linstallation of the rest of the files? [06:55] ubuntu: did you by chance forget to tell the installer where to mount /boot? [06:55] Ubuntu: do you have a raid setup or multiple hard drives? [06:55] just one old IDE HDD right now hiatus [06:55] i know Out_Cold it so much better [06:55] ubuntu: I spaced the other day like that, and the installer didn't complain, but discovered it when the grub installation phase was giving errors [06:56] but u cant have everything Out_Cold [06:56] Is there anyway to invoke scp to copy files to my local machine from a server while connected via ssh to the remote server? [06:56] ubuntu, when you go to partition... remove 1-3, then start fresh... make 3 new partitions in this order.. 300mb /boot, 2xRAM swap, 10gb /, everything else /home [06:56] but there is excellent support here its worth it [06:56] ubuntu: in other words, during the partman phase of the installer, did you tell it where to put /boot? [06:56] Ubuntu: its just easier to reinstall then manually deleting the old grub, reinstalling a new grub, pointing to the operating system, etc. Etc. Etc. [06:56] ok wait.... out_ [06:57] Out_Cold: w/e i have done is this: [06:57] ** 4 new ones [06:57] are these 2 stmts different export PATH=$PATH=$HOME/Desktop/bin and export PATH=$PATH=/home/Desktop/bin [06:57] in ubuntu 9.04 I could see weeks in the clock applet, how can I enable this in 9.10? I googled and found /schemas/apps/clock_applet/prefs/show_week_numbers but I can't set it to true [06:57] ubuntu, i know what happened roughly... but the point is it's easier to start over again than troubleshoot [06:57] c_nick: $HOME is /home/username/ [06:57] that's a rather large /boot [06:57] maco: any clue? [06:57] c_nick: (so yes) [06:58] PingFloyd, 300mb is not overkill but still ok for bloated use.. [06:58] I used to put my /boot at 250MB, but seems like 150MB ends up usually being plenty for a few kernels [06:58] i make smaller if i'm short on space.. but 300 is like pocket change [06:58] b0w: sudo update-initramfs -c $(uname -r) [06:58] oh ok thanks Flannel [06:59] b0w: (my flatmate's the one telling me what to tell you) [06:59] so $HOME is /home/username.. hmm now i know why it was not working [06:59] i had 40 GB for C drive in windows with the rest of 200 GB for the media files so both were NTFS. when installing 8.10, i deleted the c drive partition (whatever i was called in linux terms) and created a swap with 1GB and rest of 39 GB ext3 / (just / ) did i do anything wrong? so that is two partitions and leaving the ntfs intact. [06:59] can anyone point me in the right direction of why named and exim dont work correctly when i start them from init scripts they fail, if i start them by hand, they work? [06:59] Flannel: where can i get all of these [06:59] my ram is 2 GB btw [06:59] c_nick: all of these? [06:59] c_nick: `echo $HOME` will display its contents [06:59] Flannel: yeah $HOME $ something else u know [06:59] ubuntu: make your swap as large as your RAM if you want to use suspend [06:59] and if anyone says www.debian.org/download then dont worry, im thinking that too [06:59] MauritianGuy, vlc is a 'free software' available on all platforms [06:59] cool [06:59] ubuntu, ideally you want 3.. but you can work with 2.... [06:59] thanks FLannel [07:00] ubuntu: and remember the partman in the installer is showing gigibytes, not gibibytes [07:00] maco: ok np so i just type that? or i puta uname -r between the ()? [07:00] b0w: yeah [07:00] so right now when installing the 9.10 , just clicked on the format optin for the second partition that had 8.10.. is that something wrong? [07:00] ubuntu: so if you tell it 4GB it won't be quite big enough for suspend because it will actually be under 4 GiB [07:00] Why not have him do an automated fresh install? No need to make things more complicated then it needs to be [07:00] MauritianGuy, it doesnt need any additional codecs, has its own libraries which plays every thing, can plat tv from a tvtuner, steam your desktop over the net etc etc etc [07:01] ubuntu, go back into the installer, remove sda1, sda2, sda3 and make a new sda1 for /boot, a new sda2 for swap, sda3 for / and then mount sda4 on /home... make sure you DO NOT format sda4 [07:01] ubuntu: I mean 2 [07:01] how to remove a set path [07:01] maco: same result the menu of options [07:01] Is he dual booting? [07:01] hiatus, not anymore [07:02] c_nick, PATH="" and then export PATH="put your shit here again" [07:02] hiatus, he didn't quite erase the partition though [07:02] http://pastebin.com/d249d78f1 [07:02] Why not just have reinstall everything then and choose to delete everything? [07:02] sorry.... i should not format sda4 or sda 2? and which should i mount in /home? *what ws the 2 for in the second line?* [07:02] hiatus, sda4 is ntfs for files [07:02] ubuntu, why not erase sda2??? [07:03] sda2 is where your old windows looks like it used to be [07:03] i have no idea was sda2 in the current situation is... sda 5 is my media files i suppose. so i want to keep that.. [07:03] oh nevermind.. [07:03] Should still wipe the ntfs partition if he a single hard drive and selects to erase hard drive and install [07:03] sda2 is an extended partition [07:04] b0w: sudo update-initramfs -c -k $(uname -r) === zz_FeiRuoWa is now known as FeiRuoWa [07:05] Worst comes to worst, he can just use gparte, unflag/dismount everything, erase it, and reinstall [07:05] ok Out_Cold and hiatus pls (looking at my pastebin) tell me one final way of how i should set up the partition without losing my media files which are in the 202 GB partition [07:05] ubuntu, you have a very weird partition layout and it's not making too much sense to me [07:05] Ohhhhh, your trying to keep your media files [07:05] maco: that worked! but same ERROR :/ [07:05] yes yes... [07:05] should we remove it first? [07:05] hey guys, im new to irc am i in the ubuntu help? [07:06] b0w: what if you add -v ? itll still fail but might give info as to *why* [07:06] Cameron_: yep [07:06] thanks :) [07:06] first off, how do i change my nickname [07:06] hiatus, swap seems to be a primary, then sda3 is ubuntu inside a extended partition... then sda4 for his files [07:06] ive got tons of questions [07:06] Cameron_: on irc? /nick newname === Cameron_ is now known as newname [07:06] lol [07:06] heh === newname is now known as Nanner [07:06] I would just boot ubuntu from the live cd, delete everything that is not in the 202 gig partition, then reinstall [07:06] there this is Cameron_ [07:07] Nanner: we know :) it tells us when you change nicks [07:07] ahh okay [07:07] ok i cna do that.. but pls give me the layout for the new partion format [07:07] ubuntu, i agree.... [07:07] alright i dont have any cd's that i can burn too [07:07] how exactly can i load up ubuntu to download it [07:07] ubuntu, use roughly what i said earlier [07:07] install** [07:07] Nanner: running windows right now?

I'm trying to change it to where I boot up nongui and only run gui if I type startx. Only thing I've been able to try is to change the runlevel to 3 but it doesnt change anything. I really dont know what I'm doing.

This may be a little off-topic, but there's no one at #parted, so I'll ask here [07:31] I'm on a console only system (damn small linux without X). It has a 8GB hard drive at /dev/hda. I want to make a single 8GB partition on it, so I start parted with sudo parted, and I'm in the parted console. So I type: mkpartfs primary ext3 0% 100%, but it returns error: Unable to open /dev/hda - unrecognized disk label. Why is that?

[09:03] guys, do u know any good client for mpd? i am using sonata now [09:03] mobi-sheep, yeah...i mean i have tried to use it...but stopped using it again...because its really very annoying that when i minimize all windows....the screenlets are also removed from the desktop....and i have to add them all back again === elapse is now known as Guest25657 === Guest25657 is now known as holycrap [09:03] razz1: I sympathize...it took me a few days to figure out how to register on freenode [09:03] what's up [09:03] join [09:04] the benefits of registering to freenode outrun the cons by far [09:04] how do i get flash to work on firefox, i'm using ubuntu livecd [09:04] Diverdude: All for weather? Use FirecastFox($EASY) or Conky script($HARD). [09:04] can anyone help me again as to what i should do on my 9.10 install which boots only in comand prompt mode? [09:04] Guest43404: you should type /join [09:04] guys, do u know any good client for mpd? i am using sonata now [09:05] easyLIFE: login and type startx [09:05] papul: sonata is one of the best [09:05] mobi-sheep, but may the firefoxcast be shown on the desktop or in a panel like gnome weather report? Or do i have to have a firefox running? [09:05] jack5463, I believe you'll have to install the flash plugin, like normal. The only problem is, you'll have to do it each time you boot with the live cd. [09:05] ok.. [09:05] after that? [09:05] i got to remember these commands [09:05] easyLIFE: let's see what happens first before we move on.... [09:05] IRC won't be availabe to me during that time .right? [09:05] right [09:06] so i am logged in right now through the live CD EastDallas [09:06] NOTICE - The above was an exploit attempt that may have disconnected some users. Please ignore it, or type « /msg ubottu exploit » for more information. [09:06] i will restart and type 'startx' without quotes.... right? [09:06] Diverdude: It'll show in Firefox status panel.

[09:22] however, you have to specify an absolute path [09:22] not ./ [09:22] numen: do you understand? [09:23] after installing ATI drivers, i can no longer boot into ubuntu, just have random colors, cant reboot or anything. can i change back to the opensource drivers using the root terminal or do i have to rebuild the system? [09:23] futurama140, you need to ask a specific question [09:23] futurama140: no [09:24] i have to rebuild it? [09:24] futurama140: don't go for fresh installation! [09:24] futurama140: it is possible from root, don't rebuild [09:24] i am not sure no to an or qyestion helps [09:24] so add to rc.local /home/gamepad/xboxdrv-linux-0.2/xboxdrv --wid 0 -s -l 2 --deadzone 8000 [09:24] is this done as root?

[09:26] does anyone know how to display audio bitrate of a Flash video file? [09:27] unless you upgrade kernel [09:27] futurama140: turn back to original driver, after uninstalling newly installed drivers, and once you got that, get in to System->administration->hardware drivers and make your decision [09:27] elfranne: even then, you can sometimes not reboot to load it. [09:28] rumpsy: how do i uninstall the new drivers and go back to the old ones?

The other users in the resident haven't got any problems with their laptops so I know that it isn't the AP [09:31] llutz: yes, but their solution to problems is reinstall.

[09:32] It happened after I updated to 9.10 :/ [09:33] rumpsy: system is attempting to reboot now [09:33] futurama140: okay [09:33] SpaceGhostC2C: and btw, the times without need to reboot are gone, since all these closed/half-free graphics-/wifi-drivers appeared [09:34] rumpsy: ok, the GUI is back to let me boot. is there any additional configuration i need to get rid of any lingering bits of the old drivers? === johan is now known as Guest68078 [09:34] llutz: we're chatting, we should move ourselves into #ubuntu-offtopic.

There is an option under System-Preferences-Keyboard called "Mouse keys", which I keep turning off, but at arbitrary points of time, it seems to turn itself back on. What could be causing this?

[09:38] i use postfix. when i installed at, it ended up installing courier, which overwrote my newliases executable. after removing courier, newaliases no longer exists. what would be the best way to replace the file, which comes with postfix? [09:38] should i reinstall postfix? [09:39] meborc, well, for one I'm going to keep to gedit.

[09:42] DVS01: you wrote you used courier, that's why i asked why not using dovecot [09:42] oh. no, installing at caused courier to get installed [09:43] i was already using dovecot [09:43] SpaceGhostC2C, do you still have your idea?

[09:59] Leoneof: ifup is a command, not an option [09:59] :/ [09:59] Leoneof: "auto eth0" should bring the iface up === st__ is now known as aleanne82 [10:03] how to get ubuntu's kernel source code? i've tried apt-get source linux-image-2.6.31-14-generic but it says that package is not found [10:04] apt-cache search? [10:04] aleanne82, apt-get source linux-source [10:05] aleanne82, eh nvm that [10:05] aleanne82, apt-get source linux-image-$(uname -r) [10:05] linux-source-2.6.27 [10:05] Hi [10:05] Hi! Copying files from an ntfs partition to another ntfs partition is safe with ubuntu live cd, or better to use a win boot cd? [10:06] > E: Cannot find a source package for linux [10:06] nesuno: better use win-cd [10:06] nesuno, could imagine that this would be cruelly slow [10:06] nesuno: it will ruin your NTFS permissions, so take care [10:06] aleanne82, output of uname -r? [10:07] i said, 2.6.31-14-generic [10:07] llutz: hexa-: aleanne82: Ok, thanks for all! [10:07] that was an example of what the search command returned [10:07] apt-cache search image |grep source [10:08] aleanne82, ah sorry, they seem to have changed something here [10:08] aleanne82, basically you could also take the git repo [10:08] aleanne82, $ git clone git://kernel.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ubuntu-karmic.git [10:09] Hexa, thanks for that (sorry for delay had to take a call). I will give your suggestion a bash. [10:09] np [10:09] Hey, guys, which type of Ubuntu distribution is better for programming (C, Python, Perl): Ubuntu Desktop or Ubuntu Server? [10:09] same diff mostly [10:10] Depends if you wanna use an IDE or not [10:10] sh0ne: use minimal-cd and install what you really need. neither server nor desktop might be what you want [10:10] IF you are just using it as a build engine use server. If you are developing visual apps and want to use something like eclipse use desktop [10:10] server implies no X running? [10:11] i didn't think so [10:11] Thank you, guys, you helped :) [10:11] You can use x on server but it doesn't install out of the box (or didn't pre 9.10) [10:12] Nice to see your now using a proper OS SolarisBoy :-) [10:12] hi people [10:12] lol [10:12] just wondering if there is a way to terminal reset the theme of 9.10 ubuntu remix? [10:13] or anyone know what the theme originally is? [10:13] human? [10:13] So i can change it back thanks [10:13] stuartm_: maybe he is dual booting ;) [10:13] i use solaris at work and debian or ubuntu @ home [10:13] yes i dual boot [10:15] SolarisBoy: that is good but this is off topic I'm afraid [10:15] well [10:15] Is there anyway i can reset the theme/s [10:15] thanks for your inputs === p3rror is now known as mezani [10:16] callum__: right click the desktop and choose change desktop background select the theme tab and choose human atleast thats the default on 8.10 [10:18] Right off to do some work. Thanks for the assist guys [10:18] peace [10:18] are all networked external harddrives compatible with ubuntu? === tato is now known as tato_42 [10:19] c u guys [10:19] nfs/samba/cifs ntfs/fat is mountable and is available to ubuntu so unless some propieratry protocol or software is being used yes it should be accessible [10:20] iscsi as well [10:20] solaris>ubuntu @ solarisboy? [10:21] which file system is better? [10:21] ext3 =) [10:21] irenicus: ? [10:21] clockonthewall: ntfs [10:21] ^^ [10:22] oh well if i was forced to choose a windows based fs yes ntfs is preferrable [10:22] clockonthewall: depends on the usage [10:22] ntfs now works with linux? [10:22] sure does [10:22] yes [10:22] clockonthewall: to a certain degree [10:22] clockonthewall: poorly [10:22] ubuntu can r&w on ntfs ^^ [10:22] hmm [10:22] ntfs would be fine, if free [10:22] ntfs-3g ;) [10:22] exactly [10:23] why would you want to use ntfs if it works poorly? [10:23] only if u dual boot xp for playin games xD [10:23] clockonthewall: you're interested in your data or your OS? [10:23] doesn't for me.. works absolutely fine [10:23] aleanne82: data [10:23] and os [10:23] wait what do you mean [10:23] os>data [10:24] lol [10:24] clockonthewall: ntfs is portable, stable and feature-rich [10:24] clockonthewall: and you want access from windows and ubuntu to that data [10:24] aleanne82: but not free and ntfs-3g is awfully slow [10:24] clockonthewall: if the main usage is on Windows, then use NTFS/FAT. if main usage is on Linux, then use EXT3. [10:24] ok [10:25] clockonthewall: both are read/write on both systems, but both have problems in the features on non-native systems. [10:25] ntfs supports compression, encryption and ACLs, ext3 does not [10:25] aleanne82: wrong [10:25] lo [10:25] acl.... sure [10:25] who wants 2 compress their harddrive man :p [10:25] clockonthewall: if you want access to that data from both os then ntfs is your choice [10:26] Myrtti: what is 'wrong'? [10:26] Hi! Where can I find some docs about how to read the dpkg -l output? [10:26] ii, rc, etc [10:26] aleanne82: ext3 has access control in Linux, and you can encrypt it to their hearts content. it's not usable in Windows. I've not heard NTFS ACL's to be portable to Linux with any system [10:26] man dpkg [10:26] SolarisBoy, nice try, doesn't have it [10:26] ? [10:26] ext3 bad if u got some confidential stuff [10:26] aleanne82: as said, neither work 100% in non-native systems [10:26] difficult 2 erase trace ^^ [10:27] axos88: header line in output [10:27] SolarisBoy, i just read through the man page [10:27] -l simply lists each package [10:27] llutz, yeah, that seems to have some relevance, but why are there two letters? [10:27] im at a loss for the misunderstanding? [10:27] llutz: i did /etc/network restart , and it did attach the ip address to eth0 , but it does not attach automatically in startup, why? [10:27] if you need more options or formatted output look at the format options [10:27] axos88: 1st state, 2nd error [10:27] thanks guys [10:27] SolarisBoy, the first two letters (ii, rc, etc) is what's of interest to me. The rest of the line is obvious [10:28] llutz, there is no "Error flag" with "i" [10:28] i agree with the compression on ntfs ootb [10:28] and encryption [10:28] Hey. [10:28] ??? === Brendanf is now known as [BT]Brendan [10:29] Does Ubuntu Desktop 9.10 work on EEE PC 701 With WIFI? [10:29] axos88: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/kubuntu-users/2006-July/006993.html [10:29] theres a legend there [10:29] axos88: my bad, 1 desired, 2 state [10:29] hi. i have ubuntu installed on my eee pc, but would like to add the backtrack distro as dual boot. how can i do what without screwing up my current ubuntu installation? [10:29] llutz, aha, so if they are not the same, it's probably because dpkg has been interrupted? [10:30] llutz, or some error occured? [10:30] axos88: ii "to be installed" "is installed" [10:30] Cube'' what EEE DO you have. [10:30] Is there a filelimit on FAT, Im trying to copy some MKV-files to my FAT-fisk and get error file to large [10:30] callum__: I think so, but probably better to use the netbook version [10:30] i think so [10:30] @Cube I think we r on the same boat lol! [10:30] kanzie: yes. [10:30] kanzie: [10:30] kanzie: 2GB for fat16 [10:30] kanzie, yeah 2gb [10:30] ouch [10:30] kanzie, umm wait [10:30] llutz, probably this should make it's way to the man page... Thanks for your help [10:30] What c/c++ IDE do you linux dudes use [10:30] kanzie: 4GB on fat32 [10:30] Jussi01 how to enable full dekstop mode on NETBOOK REMIX 9.10 Please? [10:31] 4 gb [10:31] Fendaril: vi [10:31] yes llutz is right [10:31] thats a text editor [10:31] ntfs is good , [10:31] its way more [10:31] so what is recommended then for a media-disk... ext3/4 or NTFS? [10:31] Callum_: 1000he, and im using eeebuntu, to answer your previous question [10:31] llutz: ^^ [10:31] it doesn't have autocompletion [10:31] Oh ok thanks cube i have 701SD :( [10:31] or a build option [10:32] EEEBuntu is netbook remix or something different? [10:32] Fendaril, try eclipse [10:32] Fendaril: don't listen to them, they're vi/emacs trolls [10:32] kanzie, hmm? ext3/4 is only for linux [10:32] kk [10:32] kanzie: vfat, i don't have files >4GB :) [10:32] Callum_: both [10:32] well not neccesarily im just being honest [10:32] oh ok - thanks [10:32] i use vim for C perl and just about anything else [10:32] indus: there is a driver for ext2/3 support for windows [10:33] I woul never use wordppad fr c++ [10:33] yes its experimental i heard [10:33] so why use VI for c++ [10:33] check vim site and see the many plugins scripts and extensions available [10:33] Myrtti, yes experimental so i didnt mention it [10:33] not sure [10:33] hi, i did /etc/network restart , and it did attach the ip address to eth0 , but it does not attach automatically in startup, why? [10:33] Fendaril, I use eclipse + cdt, try that. [10:33] Myrtti: it's unusable, since it doesn't support inodes>128b [10:33] Cube``: what? [10:33] ok axos88 thanks [10:33] Good games for Ubuntu netbook remix or apps? [10:34] Hey Callum_ How's life? [10:34] planeshift [10:34] oh, you're responding to my alter ego...

[10:35] don't go there. [10:36] how much space ubuntu kernel source takes? [10:36] mines is 465M [10:37] I rock!!

[10:37] I think Ubuntu netbook remix has a error? - battery is 78% and it's flashing a green light on battery icon on eee pc 701 [10:37] is this bug? [10:37] callum__: enough - #ubuntu-offtopic is acceptable channel to use [10:37] not sure never crossed an issue doing it on moderately resourced systems [10:38] callum__: It's been a while lol... umm, technically it should work, although it wouldn't be as fast as something like Xubuntu, Ubuntu Netbook Remix or Eeebuntu [10:38] hello i want to do a customization (in source code) to an ubuntu deb package, what would be the correct way to do this? [10:38] Oh OK thanks! how do you enable full desktop mode do you know i cant see anything on netbook remix [10:39] compile from source [10:39] who is in charge of this channel? [10:39] like no icon for desktop mode [10:39] callum__: as to the wireless, if it is compatible with Eeebuntu there is a good chance it is compatible with standard Ubuntu [10:39] how do you get grub working with a usb keyboard? [10:39] SolarisBoy: it's not that easy. the package in question is network-manager-openvpn and it's tightly coupled with the os [10:39] hmm [10:40] thats vpnc [10:40] no openvpn [10:40] sikor_sxe: repackage it and rebuild it with launchpad or opensuse build service [10:40] one sec...

[10:43] what should i do then [10:43] angelo_: do you have a prompt in that screen? [10:43] not my point,, shouldn't that allow you to recompile with whichever option you need? [10:43] without borking the OS? [10:43] which screen [10:43] anyone know the command line that resets the desktop to default values using terminal? === Leoneof` is now known as Leoneof [10:43] thanks [10:43] angelo_: press alt+atrl+f1 [10:43] you would need to disable it first and configure interfaces i believe if youd like to stay online...

[10:45] sikor_sxe: what option is it you need to enable? [10:45] angelo_: got that? [10:45] SolarisBoy: i guess ubuntu has nm customized in some way. i don't want to install a whole new nm infrastructure. i just wan't to add some needed functionality to the nm-openvpn plugin and provide a deb. [10:45] cntrl+alt+T is terminal [10:45] oh thats xandros [10:46] SolarisBoy: specifically it's: '--mssfix --fragment & ---maxtun [10:46] Callum_What you want exactly?, Are you spammer?

[12:03] tobiasz, windows xp will slow down over time you will have noticed, ubuntu stays same [12:03] any issues with ubuntu 9.10 64bit on a core2quad+ 1gb ram [12:03] nope [12:03] The oracle site still dose the google error :S [12:03] tobiasz, tell us your system specs [12:03] tobiasz, turn off desktop effects to get more speed [12:04] indus I had perfectly solid xp for few years with no performance drop, just ned to clean things from time to time [12:04] But then on my vista laptop it loads fine? [12:04] SolarisBoy : what do you make of my pastebin? [12:04] ooops never looked =) [12:04] one sec [12:04] tobiasz, well,in xp the file system gets fragmented over time, so it surely gets slower from the time you install it [12:04] * om26er don't agree with tobiasz [12:04] tobiasz, ubuntu doesnt need defrags [12:04] cisco-sccp is on port 2000 [12:04] indus: stop telling this [12:05] what is that? [12:05] indus: ext are fragmenting as the ntfs [12:05] tobiasz, i repeat, tell us your system specs [12:05] indus so I tell once again [12:05] 2gb ram gf 7800gt amd athlon 64 4000+ [12:05] how do i make postfix or dovecot listen on differnt port? [12:05] tobiasz, and which version of ubuntu [12:06] garymc: its a cisco protocol used to manage cisco call manager and its nodes [12:06] 9.10 gnome [12:06] aleanne82, give me a link to prove it [12:06] whos server is this? [12:06] tobiasz, is compix on? [12:06] garymc: in a conf file that can be done [12:06] indus I disable it for gaming or flash movies [12:06] a small question: is there a way to defrag in ubuntu? I've never really felt a need but is there an app to do it? [12:06] tobiasz, compiz is a resource hog [12:06] no need to defrag in ubuntu [12:06] tobiasz, i never use it [12:06] indus: man filefrag [12:06] indus compiz is worthless and unefficient [12:07] ext3 defrags its self [12:07] tobiasz, yes [12:07] indus so is gnome [12:07] tobiasz, then try kde [12:07] SolarisBoy why is it listening to 0.0.0.0 [12:07] because that indicates all interfaces [12:07] its a wildcard IP address [12:07] indus I didn't like kde, it seemed like even more unefficient [12:07] what port should i change it too? [12:07] a free one [12:07] SolarisBoy: it just has no defragmenter, it does frament as ext2 or ext4 [12:08] how would i know a free one? [12:08] hmmm [12:08] indus xfce is kinda cool but I would need a clean install to get it going perfectly, cuz it's just a mess [12:08] aleanne82, thanks but you should know ,its something rarely used [12:08] tobiasz, do you have an intel graphics chip? [12:08] garymc: well you can do lsof -i4 -n |grep LIST [12:08] I use ext4. how is the defragmentation in ext4? really high? [12:08] under sudo or as root [12:08] indus no NVIDIA 7800GT GF [12:09] tobiasz, aah sorry yes [12:09] tobiasz, so i see no reason why you should have a slow system, i have 1 gb ram only [12:09] and that will show which ports are opened and listening so pick one thats not thatmm and one thats above port 1023 [12:09] tobiasz, although firefox on linux is slower than windows version [12:09] indus not that it boots slow or something, because it's decent [12:09] aleanne82: i need to review that statement [12:09] indus I do not use ff cuz I hate it :P [12:10] tobiasz, yes i have moved to chrome [12:10] tobiasz, so if you could go step by step and remove some things from startup apps, maybe you could speed up [12:10] hello [12:10] I stay with Opera it's faster and more proper than any browser [12:11] hey im wondering how exactly spamassassin matches spam.. i sent myself an email with content like "xxx hardcore sluts waiting to suck on you!!! free credit report" and whatnot... and that did not get flagged as spam. so i'm wondering what exactly makes it tick [12:11] lol not [12:11] tobiasz, but yes ubuntu is slower than other distros like arch or maybe gentoo [12:11] indus I already did [12:11] tobiasz, then i guess its as fast as it can be [12:11] I just did filefrag and it said "1 extent found". that means it is fragmented right? [12:11] indus I think maybe 64 bit is not supported well [12:11] tobiasz, dont worry about the ram, its a little diff from windows [12:11] is there a way do defrag in 9.10? [12:11] tobiasz, no, iam on 64 bit, its same [12:11] DVS01: look into the manual, it explains the rules used and it's weight [12:11] indus on xp cpu usage is perfectly 0-1% [12:12] will do [12:12] SolarisBoy: ok 1500 should be ok? [12:12] how do I set it? [12:12] indus in ubuntu it oscilates around 15% [12:12] sure why not [12:12] tobiasz, yes cpu should be used, thats why we have it isnt it [12:12] it should be at 100 percent frankly, i paid full money for it :) [12:13] indus hmm, you're right :P [12:13] i dont understand why people want cpu's at 0 %, thats just crazy [12:13] has there ever been a case of suspend or hibernate completely breaking a bios to the point where you can't see a post? [12:13] lol cpu at 0 is scary [12:13] a quad core always at 0 - 10 % ? thats inefficiency i say [12:13] what exactly is the thing doing? [12:14] tobiasz, a browser will stress the cpu upto 30 percent i have seen on startup,then flash etc push to 100 [12:15] and the processor is designed to run at full speed or we should return it :) [12:15] ok enough chit chat [12:15] tobiasz, so just open system monitoer and tell me usage now [12:15] and tell me what appls are running [12:15] indus flash is worthless, nothing much to do with it, decent enough to watch windowed, fullscreen is choppy [12:15] tobiasz, if you can find flash 9 , install that, its awesome [12:15] which driver should i choose for Radeon 9550? Ive bad performance.. :( [12:16] tobiasz, i searched but cant find the older one [12:16] DemoOn: fglrx of course [12:16] i want to test mailscanner's virus detection abilities. will searching google for viruses lead me to finding what i need? [12:16] garymc: garymc not sure,, certainly in some config file though,, i do sendmail so sorry can't help much there =) [12:16] aleanne82: how to install it? [12:16] indus then upload it for me :) [12:16] DVS01, just go to some cd key hack site and download any file [12:16] you need something called teh vrirus bomb [12:16] indus both cores usage oscilates arround 30-50% [12:16] indus: not all of those are infected tho.. [12:17] demoon: i don't know ( [12:17] tobiasz, firefox running? what is running and using it ?check in processes [12:17] indus Opera, XChat, and Evolution opened [12:17] evolution of cousrs [12:17] opera too [12:18] tobiasz, the cpu should oscillate at 50 [12:18] leave it alone [12:18] its absoperfectly fine [12:18] indus Opera uses from 6 to 16% cpu [12:18] no, it's not [12:18] if you dont use cpu full, the processor will rust [12:18] :) [12:18] where to download ubuntu mobile? [12:18] Kartagis, ubuntu netbook remix? [12:18] aleanne82, why not [12:18] is it that indus ? [12:19] Kartagis, its for netbooks, is that the one you want? [12:19] indus evolution 20mbs Opera about 200mbs :P [12:19] tobiasz, heh opera is using the flash and the tabs you have opened is a lot i feel [12:19] because processor should be idle if nothing happens on the system [12:19] indus indeed youtube is open [12:19] aleanne82, read what he said, he has opera, evo all open [12:20] my firefox 200m at the moment [12:20] can i ask for some help? [12:20] with multiple tabs open [12:20] indus, I don't really know, my colleague said there was a ubuntu mobile [12:20] firefox sometimes goes to 500 mb [12:20] and what? evolution is calculating something? [12:20] Kartagis, i think maybe [12:20] Kartagis, wait 1 sec [12:20] Kartagis, you want for laptop ? === UK-DONE is now known as NKRIP [12:20] yes [12:20] yea i've seen it shoot there,, depends on what all your loading up [12:20] indus, ^^ [12:20] indus friend of mine has averange memory usage of 1gb on lone firefox [12:21] only flash loads the processor much due to the lack hardware YUV->RGB conversion [12:21] Hello how do I read encrypted win xp folders in Ubuntu ? [12:21] tobiasz, lol thats some bug then [12:21] Where do I go to post a screenshot here? [12:21] indus but he has lots, and I mean LOTS of tabs :P [12:21] aleanne82, you a person with tech knowledge i believe [12:21] good [12:21] yea 1Gb browser process is absolutely ridiculous [12:21] does he habe a gazillion plugins running? [12:22] tobiasz, yes the tabs can take up mem , [12:22] How to I enable remote SSH connections to my ubuntu? [12:22] Via putty [12:22] SolarisBoy just lotta tabs [12:22] tobiasz, but i dont think firefox can handle it [12:22] Kartagis, its for mobile handhelds [12:22] Justin_``: sudo apt-get install openssh-server [12:22] 100+ tabs each with a 4096x4096 image XXDD [12:22] well i used to have an issue of that nature i upgraded my firefox to 3.6 thats out the window now,, i load 2 seperate web portals daily with no issues now [12:23] Kartagis, its not for you though and also its a dead project as of now http://www.ubuntu.com/products/mobile [12:23] !screenshot [12:23] Screenshots can be made with the [PrtScr] button.

The .exe runs (with WINE), installs and works, but I only get trackpad use (instead of buttons).

[12:23] tobiasz, 222 is normal, remember, linux uses ram in a diff way and reports it so [12:24] tobiasz, its not all what you think [12:24] can someone help me out here [12:24] tobiasz: need to look at the process under /proc if you more info on what all memory is being used on [12:24] indus it's just when I want to play ET: Quake Wars I want possibly full resources put into running the game [12:25] tobiasz, i play quAKE 4 [12:25] indus not some other tasks which are pointless when I am playing [12:25] tobiasz, works like a char, [12:25] m [12:25] NKRIP: i'm afraid it's not possible now [12:25] indus QW also works awesome, but I am just a frames per second maniac [12:25] tobiasz, if you dont need evolution i suggest you remove that stupid evo data server from processes [12:25] indus I play it in high details [12:25] Does anybody have a clue how can I stop SYN flood attacks ? [12:25] something seems wrong with the search function on http://start.ubuntu.com/8.04/ .

The attackers are. I don't have any enteries in iptables because the lack of my expertise. [12:35] Nicador_fl: i see [12:35] novato_br, just add the keyboard indicator applet to panel and select from there [12:35] So, I was going to system => preference => keyboard [12:35] novato_br, there you can set your languae as default [12:36] I don't see any applet for that [12:36] novato_br, right click on panel > add to panel >keyboard indicator [12:36] happy to help :) [12:36] `-A INPUT -p tcp --dport 1411 -j ACCEPT` something like that would do assuming you input change is named input [12:36] but change the aCCEPT TO DENY [12:37] i mean DROP =) [12:37] -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 1411 -j DROP [12:37] This is the line right ?

[12:41] isent raid 0 like.. Less reliable then just a single hd? [12:42] I made standart ubuntu's installation [12:42] Nicador_fl: in every way it is [12:42] novato_br, how did you install your language? [12:42] novato_br, aah ok thats why [12:42] I don't know [12:42] that specific rule drops any connection there [12:42] I chose brazilian portuguese [12:42] novato_br, go to ssystem>admin>language support [12:42] I see that now [12:42] * gzur just did the stupidest thing imaginable: rm -r /* [12:42] didn't have to do anything for it to work [12:42] if you would like to tone it down i suggest you sort the netstat output and block those IP ranges [12:42] forgot the .

[12:43] indus I tried to put it in so many locations and ff still doesn't use flashplugin [12:44] Nicador_fl: i sorted that output === echosystm|a is now known as echosystm [12:44] My understanding is that I can put a script that WORKS in the cron.daily folder and it will run at the specified time.

[12:45] Nicador_fl: so block those IPs which were abusive [12:45] IP blocks actually [12:45] Justin_``: something like sudo apt-get install pure-ftpd the package might be called something else though [12:45] SolarisBoy: With iptables ? [12:45] ok [12:45] Justin_``: start by searching apt-cache search pure ftp [12:46] Now I got it, indus [12:46] novato_br, good [12:46] novato_br, working now? [12:46] Nicador_fl: http://paste.ubuntu.com/365167/ [12:46] My problem is my ubuntu is half English and Brazilian Portuguese [12:46] sorted [12:46] no no, it doesn't work [12:46] novato_br, you can also select at installation time if its available [12:46] see the pattern? [12:46] I meant I understood [12:46] novato_br, logout and login [12:46] Hmm... yes. [12:46] novato_br, or restart is best idea [12:46] can I replace compiz with something more efficient and less buggy? [12:47] hai everyone is there any issue in using the Win2-7 Transformation pack(theme) [12:47] tobiasz: not really, no [12:47] I have restarted [12:47] but it isn't working [12:47] tobiasz, sure [12:47] If I block all of these Ip's then I will have to remove the first rule. RIght ? [12:47] novato_br, restart [12:47] !e17 [12:47] Enlightenment (or "E") is a window manager for X, providing a useful, and good looking graphical shell in which to work. E17 is the current development version. [12:47] tobiasz: not if you want the same features [12:47] Nicador_fl: or edit it but yes [12:47] layout still USA [12:47] student: last i heard about that - and looked into it for a guy.. the docs/theme/parts were rather.. poorly done [12:47] you can fine tune the rule to only block those ips [12:47] novato_br, left click on that applet [12:47] indus, how can I make setting by hand? [12:48] can I edit xorg.conf? [12:48] iptables -A INPUT -s 109.191.5.226 -j DROP [12:48] Something like this. Right ? [12:48] Dr_Willis: its a great theme..have you tried it?? [12:48] this is not working [12:48] by applet settings [12:48] student: i see no reason to use it. [12:48] this is not working by applet settings [12:48] tobiasz: but is it really compiz that is unsable? sure it's not the graphics driver? [12:48] novato_br, i see brazilian but i dont see brazilian portugues [12:48] novato_br, which language exactly you want [12:48] portuguese* [12:48] yeah yeah [12:48] Dr_Willis: oh...so which is the them u prefer? [12:48] brazilian = brazilian portuguese [12:49] in movie player, when manually trying to seek to a given spot with the slider it wont go to the desired spot, but will instantly rewind to a point before that. making it difficult to watch some video and when needing to re-watch a small portion, instead havign to wtch the previous minute sometimes just to get to what was 10 seconds before [12:49] I want brazilian layout [12:49] -A INPUT -p tcp -s 192.168.0.0/24 -m state --state NEW -m tcp --dport 1411 -j DENY <--rough example of blocking net blocks that one uses an internal class C for instance [12:49] is there a way to fix that? [12:49] student: i tend to just install a few from the gnome art sites. or repos.. and tweak them as i want. [12:49] there are two layouts here [12:49] USA and Brazilian [12:49] What is the /24 ? [12:49] but USA overwrite Brazilian layout settings [12:49] Dr_Willis: this theme also comes from gnome-look.org [12:49] novato_br, there is also portugal [12:49] novato_br, there are many many [12:49] CIDR notation for a 24 bit mask [12:49] I don't want Portugal [12:49] ja i tak nic z tego nie rozumiem [12:49] 255.255.255.0 [12:50] novato_br, then? [12:50] yeah, indus [12:50] I want brazilian layout [12:50] !pl [12:50] Na tym kanale używamy tylko języka angielskiego. Możesz uzyskać pomoc w języku polskim na #ubuntu-pl. [12:50] Dr_Willis: i want to know whether there would be any legal issues [12:50] novato_br, then use brazilian [12:50] I want brazilian layout works [12:50] alright, i'm wondering if my question about the folder thumbnails is meant more for the off topic ubuntu chat?? [12:50] ok [12:50] hello! does anyone know an app/gui for ubuntu that manages vhosts/dns/ftp/mysql for productions proposes, like an hosting panel ehcp [12:50] but it isn't working [12:50] joshua1: nah.. go ahead and ask [12:50] novato_br, there are 2 , country and then variant [12:50] .. /24 = 255.255.255.0 /8 = 255.0.0.0 and so on and so on... [12:50] indus can I uninstall compiz just like that without making amess? [12:50] well, i just found an app called avatar that would display the folders as cd covers and such and likewise for dvds. [12:51] when I chose brazilian layout the settings isn't keeping [12:51] student: yes i have seen 'legal issues' with look alike themes in the past. Not so many issues recently.. but you never know when apple or MS may decide to cause a fuss. [12:51] arbol: you mean something like cpanel? [12:51] tobiasz, yes of course [12:51] but from what i've read so far it seems like it might be unstable with ubuntu. :S [12:51] novato_br, it has to install [12:51] yes but for managing my developmente websites [12:51] arbol: you might want to look at ebox as well [12:51] hum [12:51] trying to open a .tar.gz file from cmd line, can anyone help? [12:51] how many other rules in you iptables ? [12:51] novato_br, hello [12:51] novato_br, hmm [12:51] but how can I install if my notebook hasn't internet? [12:51] novato_br, wait 1 sec iam testing [12:51] ok [12:51] Slart: did you get that? [12:51] Anyone need help? [12:52] yeah hey spaceghost! haha [12:52] fafk [12:52] lfda [12:52] riktking: man tar will get you a help page I think tar can do the gzip stuff for you as well.. you don't have to do it in two steps [12:52] 2 rules. [12:52] SolarisBoy: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/block-spamming-scanning-with-iptables.html will this be helpful ? [12:52] Dr_Willis: ya...thats true. [12:52] novato_br: why not just install windows xp? [12:52] Hi guys, I'm running ubuntu 9.04. There is an option under System-Preferences-Keyboard called "Mouse keys", which I keep turning off, but at arbitrary points of time, it seems to turn itself back on. What could be causing this? [12:52] Anyone at all? [12:52] joshua1: I didn't see a question.. what about this program? [12:52] aleanne82, more respect [12:52] tar xjvf [12:53] Dr_Willis: but i always have thought why ubuntu is this much ugly?? [12:53] with or without the v option would work Slart [12:53] is there a reason why in movie player (totem) you cant seek to a specific spot in time? when i do is auto sets itself to a time before what i wanted and have to watch all of it to get there. [12:53] Sacho: there is a keyboard shortcut to start it.. something like Ctrl+Alt+Numlock .. I'm not sure [12:53] I've made a Kommander dialog, How'd I now compile it into a executable file? [12:53] Nicador_fl: checking [12:53] Slart: alright, i found it here, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=486359 i think it's called avatar factory. [12:53] SpaceGhostC2C: well, can you help me send mail on my home network? [12:53] have you ever heard of it? [12:53] student: you can change the appearance rather easily. [12:53] and today ubutun isn't different of windows a lot [12:53] SolarisBoy: thanks.. riktking, did you see what SolarisBoy said? [12:53] student: it takes all of 20 sec to change a theme.. THe Ubuntu Makers have thir ubuntu look. same as other disrtos try to make their own look.. if yiou dont like it change it [12:53] Slart: but i want to manage vhosts as well [12:53] quietone: sure. Tell me how you want it set up. [12:53] Slart: where could I find it? [12:54] novato_br: you shouldn't use Linux if you have no internet [12:54] novato_br, not working in xchat Ç) [12:54] no that blocks spammers which are pulled from an online list [12:54] Ç)kfafaKadla [12:54] Ç [12:54] works [12:54] Slart: i want a thing like rapache, but that can manage dns, ftp and mysql [12:54] Thank u all [12:54] those are specifically attacks to mail server [12:54] arbol: some of these management guis use plugins.. it's possible you can add support for configuring vhosts as well [12:54] novato_br, see that C is brazil [12:54] hello [12:54] you run mail on port 1422? [12:54] SolarisBoy: Yes. But i can make my own list :) [12:54] aleanne82: don't say that. I would say, you need some sort of internet connection if you're new. [12:54] arbol: never used rapache [12:54] I've made a Kommander dialogue, How'd I now compile it into a executable file? [12:54] May i as a question related to Ubuntu 9.10 installation ? Is it importan to install "boot loader" if i dont wish to add more OSs to my system ? [12:54] Nicador_fl: YOU ARE RIGHT =) [12:54] is there a 'net install' for ubuntu server ? [12:54] indus any hint what repository I need to add for enlightment? [12:54] indus, I'm on desktop [12:54] student: use that gnome-artng tool and you can install 100's of themes very quickly [12:54] has anybody had experience with an app called avatar factory?? [12:55] Nicador_fl: yes you could use that script as a baseline to construct something better suited for your conditions [12:55] ] [12:55] SpaceGhostC2C: what I want to be able to do is send mail to/from our machines but not have it go past the router to the outside world. It is mostly to forward emails to each other. [12:55] NitzchONot: you need the boot loader either way. Install it. It's required. [12:55] like a file /tmp/bad_ips [12:55] :D And add to the banlist as they come. [12:55] droplist* [12:55] indus k nvm [12:55] yessir [12:55] novato_br, can you tell me how brazilian is different from english [12:55] quietone: do you know how to set up a mail server? [12:55] i dont know [12:55] indus, I'm sorry, it is my fault, I can't explaing to you clearly [12:55] Dr_Willis: ok thank you:) [12:56] novato_br, no problem, try it, i will understand [12:56] Nicador_fl: be careful and test it and remember iptables -F is a friend [12:56] * joshua1 brb [12:56] is there a 'net install' for ubuntu server ?

If you use netmanager set address to static there [12:59] novato_br: can you switch to brasilian layout pressing alt+shift or ctrl+shift: [12:59] hey is it safe for my files to upgrade my ubuntu 9.04 to the 9.10 version with the upgrade manager???? help me please i have a hard disk with important material i don't want to be wasted:) [13:00] I see. No one cares, no one knows, or no one has even noticed my question. I'll leave now. [13:00] Ok [13:00] novato_br, go to system>admin>language support and set default as brazil [13:00] under layouts [13:00] I thought network manager let you set a atatic ip - but my router has settings to rember what machines and give them the same ip. [13:00] for interfaces file a simple google search will give you much details [13:00] aleanne82, yeah, but when I change the layout isn't persistent settings [13:00] Dr_Willis: lucky my netgear is not so advanced [13:00] yeah, indus [13:00] I've tried that [13:00] but it isn't working [13:00] M0D-1T: as far as I know even a failed upgrade won't kill your files... but backups should always be made.. it's still computers and software we're dealing with.. neither is perfect [13:00] Ok so I went into 'Startup applications', I can't find OpenSSH there, Do I click "new" and add it? [13:01] I went system => admin => language support and set default as brazil [13:01] but it didn't work [13:01] it keeping going to change layout to usa alone [13:01] that or update-rc.d openssh-server defaults [13:01] novato_br, sorry system >preferences>keyboard layout [13:01] I made that too, indus [13:01] Slart: right [13:01] SolarisBoy: mine is so advanced it tells me of bios updates.. that.. cant be found at the belkin web site. :0 [13:01] I made a Kommander dialogue, Is it possible to convert it to a binary executable? [13:01] novato_br, aah sorry then i dont know [13:01] or whatever they call openssh under /init.d/ [13:01] novato_br, maybe file a bug? [13:01] and It keeps going to change settings alone [13:02] Dr_Willis: nice =) [13:02] novato_br, wait i restart and see [13:02] digits-admin.data.yahoo.com [13:02] brb [13:02] ok [13:02] update-rc.d: /etc/init.d/openssh-server: file does not exist [13:02] or whatever they call openssh under /init.d/ [13:02] what is needed in xchat beyond the default settings to protect against criminals? [13:02] Hmm update-rc.d dont work with Upstart under 9.10 I thouight, [13:02] oops its just ssh [13:02] if ssh is handkled by upstart that is.. [13:03] Anyone wanna giv me some one on one advice on getting my Dovecot-postfix basic mail server up and running? [13:03] oopsy im on 8.10 [13:03] Some program flooded the notification system, and now it just keeps going and going, even after the guilty program was closed, and since it doesn't seem to be possible to interact with them, I can't stop it. Any advice (other than logging out)? [13:03] so that works fine for me [13:03] I made a Kommander dialogue, Is it possible to convert it to a binary executable? [13:03] mikeconcepts: common sense? that should do it [13:03] update-rc.d: /etc/init.d/ssh-server: file does not exist [13:03] i believe its just ssh Justin [13:03] no -server [13:03] novato_br: do you have latest updates? [13:04] mikeconcepts: oh.. and keeping your software up to date [13:04] anyone familiar with the avatar factory app? [13:04] yep just ssh [13:04] [0504][rainofkayos@rain] src $ sudo update-rc.d ssh defaults System startup links for /etc/init.d/ssh already exist. [13:04] how? [13:04] I have no internet to notebook [13:04] Slart: what about mode +x and PM? [13:04] Internet doesn't work on notebook [13:04] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=486359 [13:05] joshua1: is it a linux app? ubuntu app? or what exactly? [13:05] update-rc.d: /etc/init.d/ssh-server: file does not exist [13:05] In /etc/ssh/ there isnt a ssh-server file [13:05] huh? [13:05] well it's for nautilus [13:05] never was... [13:05] sooo [13:05] I made a Kommander dialogue, Is it possible to convert it to a binary executable? [13:05] mikeconcepts: those are just preferences.. neither will protect you in any way [13:05] ssd_config or ssh_config i believe should be the configs for openssh [13:05] Slart: and not auto accepting files? [13:05] s/ssd/sshd/ [13:05] mikeconcepts: the default settings don't autoaccept files [13:06] So what would be the command [13:06] command for? [13:06] dr_willis: it's for nautilus i believe, and also says something about thunar but i'm not familiar with that. [13:06] I want to get SSH server to run when the computer loads up [13:06] i really need help here with this email server stuff [13:06] Slart: hence the common sense statement [13:06] like at the login screen where I type my password [13:06] aleanne82, I've tried to make LAN with notebook and my desktop, but Ubuntu ( from notebook ) doesn't recognize windows 7 system ( from Desktop ) [13:06] 'sudo update-rc.d openssh-server defaults' [13:06] mikeconcepts: and even if you were to enable that it's not dangerous until someone actually runs those files.. you'll have to educate your users about those kinds of things [13:06] joshua1: never seen/heard of it - not in the package manager.. if you are having some problem with it - it may be best to state the actual problem . [13:06] i'm still pretty fresh with ubuntu too so i'm not sure if nautilus is a gnome thing or what. [13:06] Justin_``you want a graphical login? [13:07] if that doesn't work likely due to your higher vesrsion than me [13:07] well i haven't even installed it yet - was just wondering if anyone had used it/had problems with it or not. === maria is now known as pakito [13:07] for gui use vino-server which (was) enabled by default afaik [13:07] because it looks pretty sharp. as far as having the folders show thumbnails of whatever is inside. [13:07] update-rc.d: /etc/init.d/openssh-server: file does not exist [13:07] mikeconcepts: I would worry more about mail and weird im-clients than IRC === pakito is now known as pakito7345 [13:08] I can't solve the ubuntu problems, while I'm solving one shows another. [13:08] why in the world would it be looking for openssh-server? [13:08] Justin_``'try this sudo /etc/init.d/ssh start [13:08] You told me to? [13:08] the ubuntu 6.10 wasn't like that [13:08] no i didnt [13:08] * Starting OpenBSD Secure Shell server sshd [ OK ] [13:08] blahhhh i'm out. going to just keep googling it i guess. [13:08] taters. [13:08] i told you to do this 'sudo update-rc.d openssh-server defaults' [13:08] oopssudo update-rc.d ssh defaults [13:09] holas [13:09] remove the oops and thats the command i meant [13:09] paste fail =) [13:09] alguien habla español? :S [13:09] no [13:09] mikeconcepts: !es | Ceballos [13:09] oops.. [13:09] !es | Ceballos [13:09] Ceballos: 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. [13:09] bolas chinas [13:09] So if I type reboot 1, let the Ubuntu restart, then I should be able to remote-ssh it without needing ot logon the auctal computer [13:09] Slart: that's good to know! Thanks! [13:10] mola [13:10] ok perfect [13:10] mikeconcepts: you're welcome [13:10] rober [13:10] bolas: ? [13:10] not unless the link is present in /etc/rc* [13:10] which i believe it isn't and starting ssh doesnt do it [13:10] so sudo update-rc.d ssh defaults [13:10] Justin_```: somthing is odd.. every time i have ever installed the ssh server - it always adds itself to startup at boot time [13:11] SolarisBoy: try putting his name before the messages. [13:11] oh mine didn't [13:11] Justin_```: logging in to the machine shouldent be 'starting' ssh in any case [13:11] SpaceGhostC2C: thank you for your inputs [13:11] something seems wrong with the search function on http://start.ubuntu.com/8.04/ .

[13:15] Slart: It's supposed to be a custom search [13:15] Im using desktop version? ?? [13:15] Justin_```: whos machine is this? [13:15] fredensborg: I'm not entirely sure about that.. it might just be a google "skin" [13:15] Mine [13:15] Its in my room [13:16] Im making it a semi-dedicated [13:16] afaik thats hosting talk.... [13:16] Slart: Oh well.. [13:16] i've added a line to my /etc/hosts file. how can i refresh that so it takes effect immediately? [13:16] how to record sound playing in speakers using alsa? [13:16] airstrike: it always takes affedt immediatly for me. [13:16] airstrike: it just does [13:17] Justin_``` just wondering, did it work normally at all? Meaning did it start ssh before you logged in before? [13:17] ok :)) [13:17] novato_br, HI [13:17] novato_br, ^~~ç === Flamey is now known as Guest61371 [13:17] SpaceGhostC2C, Ive alwasys been logged on when I am able to connect to the ssh [13:17] i think hes starting it in his profile somehow [13:17] fredensborg: if you want themes for Gnome I would suggest www.gnome-look.org [13:17] I see your works properly, indus [13:17] Justin_```: you do relize that its possible ssh is starting after you are logging in.. because the services start up some times slower then the rest of the 'login' stuff.. [13:17] novato_br, yeah doesnt start with default i think [13:17] but my it doesn't [13:17] novato_br, no went to another language [13:18] hmm whats your connection type Justin_``` ? [13:18] Justin_``` try this. sudo apt-get remove --purge openssh-server && sudo apt-get install openssh-server [13:18] SolarisBoy: i dont even see how thats possible. since ssh server needs to run as root. [13:18] ಲೋಸೋ [13:18] My connection type...? [13:18] yeah, indus ! You said: everything => <indus> novato_br, yeah doesnt start with default i think [13:18] Dr_Willis: ur right... im fishing again =) [13:18] Dr_Willis: it doesn't need root. I can run ssh on a higher port as a seperate user. [13:18] Justin_``` may I pm you? [13:18] thats true as well [13:18] my ubuntu doen't start with default settings [13:18] novato_br, really? [13:18] Sure [13:18] SolarisBoy: im betting hes just noticeing services starting slower. [13:19] novato_br, thats what i said ?:) [13:19] novato_br, yeah doesnt start with default i think [13:19] çç~~~ç [13:19] your does work [13:19] Dr_Willis: yea .. you know what,, why not put a recursive ping on the box while its booting up [13:19] novato_br, some bug i think, actually it started with brazil then changed [13:19] hi all. How can I stop xp from being pushed down in the grub menu by subsequent newer kernel versions? [13:19] see when you get the reply back... [13:19] here it doesn't [13:19] novato_br, you cant type in brazil: [13:19] ;::? [13:20] yeah, indus [13:20] ssh wont start if the box isn't pingable so that would in general allow you to see whats the hold up if any [13:20] because It start with USA settings [13:20] and not guestimate [13:20] novato_br, i think maybe cos ofthe language packs [13:20] yeah, indus [13:20] trijntje: in grub1 (befor 9.10) you could edit the menu.lst and put it at the top.. not sure about grub2 [13:20] Can I put CD live on repository, indus ? [13:20] novato_br, yes [13:20] * SolarisBoy facepalm [13:20] so I can install the language packet [13:20] SolarisBoy: i wonder if hes on wired or wireless networking... [13:21] Dr_Willis: ok, ill see if that still works in grub 2, thanks [13:21] Dr_Willis: thats why i asked his connection type [13:21] trijntje: it wont work in grub2 === FeiRuoWa is now known as zz_FeiRuoWa [13:21] I'm looking for some help on getting legal DVD's to play, which I can't seem to get working with my current libdvdread4. I'm running 9.10 64bit [13:21] i want to record speakers output [13:21] novato_br, why u want live cd? [13:21] wireless can get choppy like so [13:21] trijntje: ive seen some guides on tweaking grub2. but ive never noticed that tweak [13:21] indus, how can I CD live on repository to install the brazilian language packet? [13:21] novato_br: it could be bug in gnome [13:21] grub2 | trijntje [13:21] maybe, aleanne82 [13:21] novato_br,i think you dont need to install anything [13:21] trijntje: its possible you could rename/number the files in /etc/grub.d to reorder them [13:21] !grub2 | trijntje [13:21] trijntje: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [13:22] I can't change it [13:22] it said: missing language packet [13:22] I need to install them [13:22] novato_br, aaah [13:22] novato_br: but you could just install a keyboard layout indicator and swith them by hotkey, if you'll uncheck 'separate layout for each window', it will persist [13:22] How to disable updatedb.mlocate ? I don't ever use locate but it eat my IO every day [13:22] trijntje: change 30_os-prober to be like 08_os-prober [13:22] novato_br, you can just put live cd in tray, add cd as repo [13:22] novato_br, maybe try that [13:22] novato_br, but i think some language packs are installed default [13:22] I don't know where repository settings [13:23] guest_007: its ran by a cronjob in /etc/rcon.daily [13:23] BlessJah: not sure if that's possible.. some audio cards have an input named "What-u-hear" .. or at least my creative card has that.. you could perhaps do something tricky with dmix but it won't be an easy process [13:23] guest_007: its ran by a cronjob in /etc/cron.daily [13:23] Dr_Willis: Is there any policy value? I did not want to edit cron.daily directly [13:23] novato_br: in system>admin>software sources check Cd as repository and reload [13:23] is the current version of libdvd 4.1.3? [13:23] guest_007: no idea. I use locate.. so i want to keep it, :) [13:24] novato_br, in preferences>keyboard> layouts whatdo u see [13:24] ok [13:24] guest_007: move the file somewhere.. perhaps.. or make it not executable.. [13:24] guest_007: You can just chmod -x /etc/cron.daily/mlocate [13:24] Dr_Willis: made it non exec [13:24] if it weren't CD if were USB stick, how can I do? [13:24] Thanks [13:24] Dr_Willis: can I just assign any header to the windows entry in grub.cfg?

[13:26] trijntje: those scripts get ran in order.. by changing the #'s you cahnge the order the stuff gets added to the grub configs. [13:26] novato_br, is brazil select as default? also click on 'apply system wide' [13:26] novato_br: check brazil as default [13:26] yeah, Indus, but in gnome applet keyboard indicator is USA [13:26] and it's working USA layout now [13:26] novato_br, yah thats ok, click on it [13:26] I did [13:27] novato_br, and it will say bra [13:27] can someone help me?

[13:29] Is there anyway to count the duplicates in a txt file ? [13:29] novato_br, ok best option now is, from preferences , delete brazil and then restart system, then add it again [13:29] BRA on applet, but I clicked on applet gnome keyboard indicator [13:29] novato_br: there's an open bug with suddently disappering layouts [13:29] yeah, aleanne82 [13:29] trijntje: i told you to change /etc/grub.d for grub2 [13:30] trijntje: as it says you DONT edit grub.cfg [13:30] Hi.

[14:34] eidolon: It's more likely a router and network setup than the linux firewall. [14:34] or VM issue... [14:34] aleanne82, is it can be done like that? ==> http://images.cjb.net/cbf78.png [14:34] no, the vm on the machine can ping the host OS, can get to stuff out on the net and eveyrthing [14:34] the host OS cannot get to any services on the vm. === nozes_cumendo is now known as nozes [14:35] can ping it though. === cbx333_ is now known as cbx33 [14:35] What VM software is he using [14:35] i'm assuming vmware. but not sure. [14:36] eidolon: iptables does not block anything by default. [14:36] eidolon: he needs to make sure he has the proper host-to-guest networking set up. [14:36] novato_br: probably, i don't remember the details [14:36] SpaceGhostC2C: hmm. the guest can ping the host, and can do things like mount shares out on the net. but the host can't get to any service on the guest - except for ping. [14:36] ok [14:36] which sort of indicates that it should be working.

[14:49] Nhzd: 8.04 not 8.10 ;) [14:49] 8.04 I know of, but 8.04 had its own problems [14:49] ah, ok [14:50] 8.04 had issues with power saving, cpu fan was constantly running [14:50] though maybe a backported kernel to 8.04 [14:51] Nhzd: well then lucid will be released in april, maybe that'll finally fix the whole intel issue *fingerscrossed* [14:51] so suck my dick [14:51] well suck my dick [14:51] What are the ppa`s for updated X and also newer kernels...

[15:14] Diverdude, and maybe name your archive statusreport.tar for future generations ;-) and maybe use tar xzf and name it .tar.gz or something [15:15] Mediaprodigy: I would just use SSH and sshfs if you absolutely needed. No need for a external service as long as you can open a port. [15:15] Mediaprodigy, for direct networking you might want to use openvpn or some ssh stuff, but mind your possibly limited upstream which affects your access in direct connection, realtime-wise [15:15] So I take it 9.10 is just as bad as when it first came out and no one wants to say it? hehe [15:15] Hi, after installing windows 7 I had to reinstall Grub2.

[15:18] JSG, i dont know, but recommend you to boot the installcd as a live system and find out directly - without modifying your system [15:18] nibbler, I dont own the laptop yet. I was asking before I buy [15:18] hi, my eth0 is not run automatically, everytime i do type ifdown eth0; ifup eth0 , is there are auto connect? [15:19] Mediaprodigy: i'd consider buying an external hard disk and setting up rsync so you take it from place A (where it's been synchronised) to place B, data is sync'd then ready to go. [15:19] JSG, well then, i guess its hard to tell, as this modell name does not necessarily allow to tell which chip is actually used [15:19] JSG: Make sure that they accept returns then. [15:19] arvind_khandri: i installed this proprietary driver now and the visual effects are working just finde but now theres "AMD Unsupported hardware" on the bottom right corner of the screen... is there anything i can do about it?

This usually happens behind a network proxy server. Please try to click on the "Run this action now" button to correct the problem or update the list manually by running Update Manager and clicking on "Check". [15:19] JSG: you can bring in the livecd to the store and ask them to let you boot from it, they've always let me and if they don't just tell them that they can't help you. [15:19] JSG: or ask for a manager after that. [15:19] JSG: Or ask if you can test with a live and then buy. [15:19] JSG, but wireless is not so much of a prblem, if you are fine with ndiswrapper [15:20] nibbler: ndiswrapper really isn't a permanent solution IMO [15:20] and to add the new mirror i just add a deb line in the sources.lst [15:20] ? [15:20] daftykins: that is not a bad idea, i guess i was trying to be lazy and not have to lug around any hardware.. that is probably the solution that I will have to have untill i can find one where no hardware will have to travel with me. [15:20] SpaceGhostC2C, i agree... but at least you can get things working [15:21] nibbler: agreed it is good to get online, but then I'd just get my normal drivers working :) [15:21] Mediaprodigy: something i consider about the sort of 'cloud storage' services is that i bet they fail you when you're in a pinch and really need something to work :) [15:21] ross`: Yes, or you can use the tool in System → Admin → Software Sources. [15:21] ross`: And "Download from:" → "Other" server. [15:21] is there a repo that has skype [15:21] ross`: No. [15:22] daftykins: yeah... i agree... really want to have the machines synchronized if possible.. what was that app you mentioned. [15:22] ross`: you can google skype ubuntu and get to a ppa for skype4linux [15:22] Mediaprodigy: do you want identical copies? [15:22] Within the past three days, myself and three of my friends have repeatedly experienced "cannot yet be mounted" problems when booting - is this a worldwide phenomenon? [15:22] Mediaprodigy: well rsync is a CLI utility, not got any experience using it myself, just know it's able to do what you'd want :) [15:22] SpaceGhostC2C: yes [15:22] Mediaprodigy: look at this [15:23] !info rsync | Mediaprodigy [15:23] Mediaprodigy: rsync (source: rsync): fast remote file copy program (like rcp). In component main, is standard. Version 3.0.6-1ubuntu1 (karmic), package size 341 kB, installed size 704 kB [15:23] SpaceGhostC2C: thanks will check that out [15:23] Mediaprodigy: you can use that to sync files across the internet. [15:23] Hi I have xmonad, When I have an .xmobarrc file xmobar won't start [15:23] Mediaprodigy: come back if you need help.

[15:29] hamzaatova2: First, your question makes no sense. Second, one ? is sufficient. [15:30] hamzaatova2: there is a hebrew channel.. would that be easier than english? [15:30] !il [15:30] לשיחות בשפה העברית ולגישה לקהילת המשתמשים העברית אנא הקלד: [15:30] /join #ubuntu-il [15:30] i ball webcam c8 face 2face can't find suitable driver for ubunto9.10 help [15:30] I'm trying to compile a QT4 app on karmic, is there a smaller qt4-dev package that has everything I need rather than all the things in qt4-dev-tools [15:31] !in | hari_ [15:31] hari_: #ubuntu-in is the channel for Ubuntu in India [15:31] Slart, why??????? [15:32] hamzaatova2: because I don't understand what your asking and I think it might be a language problem [15:32] Slart, im asking if it easy to copy a cd [15:33] hamzaatova2, yes I did it last week [15:33] there's CD/DVD creator [15:33] hamzaatova2: no.. you asked "does copying a cd is simple".. which is pretty far from "is it easy to copy a cd".. but anyways.. yes, it's simple to copy a cd [15:33] does anyone know why there is no qt4-dev package? === cp is now known as Guest18351 [15:34] mreh: perhaps you're looking for libqt4-dev ? [15:34] mreh, anyway a thing i was thinking about is that i first need to take the cd out of the stereo and it isnt simple by this mean [15:34] tonyyarusso, aah [15:35] hamzaatova2: don't understand what you mean.. sorry [15:35] tonyyarusso, it's bigger than the -dev-tools package :D~~~ [15:36] Slart, i first need to take the cd out of the stereo and it isnt easy [15:36] hamzaatova2, I think you need a repair man not #ubuntu [15:36] hamzaatova2: I'm sorry.. I can't help you.. I understand what you're saying but it doesn't make sense [15:37] mreh, i mean that it is hard when you want to listen it at the same time [15:37] stereo , hamzaatova2 ? [15:37] hi! is there any good web interface for managing virtual machines (KVM, ubuntu host) like Virtual Machine Manager is for desktop? [15:38] hamzaatova2: If what you are asking is can you copy files off a CD on your computer while that CD is actually in your stereo instead of your computer, then the answer is no, we haven't figured out the physics of making objects be in two locations at once yet. [15:38] there is a cd im listening to but i cant copy because one of the problems is that i want to listen at the same time [15:38] final day of https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDeveloperWeek starting in 22 minutes in #ubuntu-classroom on irc.freenode.net (first up: "Writing Beautiful Code") [15:39] can i execute a shell code ie change a path via Makefile [15:39] dholbach: sounds interesting. Thanks [15:39] Is there a firewall enabled by default with ubuntu 9.10 ? [15:39] server version [15:40] SiVA_: Yes and no. [15:40] SiVA_: There is a firewall in the kernel, but with no rules defined. [15:40] tonyyarusso: so basically all ports are open then by default? [15:41] !firewall | SiVA_ [15:41] SiVA_: 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 [15:41] SiVA_: No, no ports are open by default. But none are explicitly blocked either. [15:41] SiVA_: yes.. there is a firewall.. and no.. it doesn't do anything by default [15:41] Slart: rock on! [15:41] Hi, about the ufw firewall - if i open a port on it, then the port remains open after i disable the firewall. is this normal? [15:41] SiVA_: Thus, if you for instance install apache, that will start listening on port 80, opening that port, and no further interaction with the firewall is necessary to allow that. [15:42] bjlen: disable the firewall? how do you do that? [15:42] If Ubuntu goes to hibernation mode, dose it lose wifi connection? [15:42] Justin_```: Yes. Any OS would. [15:42] Ok [15:43] Justin_``` the state of the machine is saved to the harddrive and the machine is completely powered off [15:43] slart i use the gufw tool and you can enable disable through that [15:43] bjlen: you can clear the firewall rules but I'm not sure on how to disable it [15:43] bjlen: that probably doesn't disable the firewall [15:44] slart: if it doesn't enable disable what does it do? although maybe this explains why the rules are still in place when i have apparently "disabled" the firewall [15:44] Can anyone help me with this: i am trying to burn an iso to a blank dvd, but my dvd driv does not appear on nautilus anymore, although when i type eject in terminal and it ejects the dvd, so it is connected it jsut isnt loading i guess. [15:45] bjlen: if you open a terminal and run "sudo iptables -L" it will write out the rules that you have configured [15:46] bjlen: I'm not sure what that enabled/disabled setting actually does.. but I'm pretty sure it doesn't disable the firewall.. it might remove any rules you've set by using the gufw tool.. or it might clear out all the rules.. but it doesn't disable the firewall [15:46] * MenZa bounces on Danio [15:47] slart - ok that's interesting. it doesnt appear to do anything as the rules persist. the only thing that makes a difference is removing the rules altogether [15:47] hey [15:47] i reply here my question again [15:48] bjlen: ok.. by default you don't have to do anything to "open" ports.. the firewall doesn't block anything by default [15:48] How can i make work my TP-Link usb wireless adapter? [15:49] Yasou, you might need to use ndiswrapper to load the Windows-compatible drivers [15:49] bjlen: you can change the default behaviour if you want.. that's the POLICY setting.. it can be set to ALLOW, DENY or REJECT ... that's what happens if you don't have any rules specifying anything else [15:49] Slart: What am i supose to look for? if X server went down. i cant really see [15:49] oh thanks TrekCaptain i install ndiswrapper,but how can i make work [15:49] slart: but in order to use transmission i have to let the forwarded ports through the firewall? doesn't that mean they are all closed by default? [15:49] to say i'am novice on ubuntu [15:50] I'm looking for an interactive text editor that allows me to do keystroke recording and playback, but it shouldn't behave like emacs or vi, rather like gedit [15:50] Yasou, I'm unfamiliar with the use of ndiswrapper, I don't need it as I use INtel cards. I"ll leave that to the others. sorry I can't be of more help === TrekCaptain is now known as Trek [15:50] oh i see [15:50] thanks anyway [15:50] bjlen: ubuntu doesn't block any ports by default.. you might have a router between your computer and the internet though.. that might act as a firewall [15:51] bjlen: that means.. if you have an ubuntu computer connected DIRECTLY to the internet (that directly part is important) you don't have to do anything for transmission to work [15:51] right, trying to install vmpk, says it can't find package "alsa>1" [15:51] slart: ok i think i'm following now. thanks! [15:51] there is no libalsa-dev or alsa-dev package that I can find [15:52] so how can i use ndiswrapper any1? [15:52] How do i make a file hidden? It needs to be hidden in Windows also, I am gonna write it on a DVD... [15:52] it's pretty ambiguous as to what it wants [15:52] bjlen: most people don't have their computer connected directly to the internet though.. you use some kind of router, usually so you can get internet connections to more than one computer.. that device has a firewall/router [15:52] bjlen: you're welcome [15:52] How do i make a file hidden? It needs to be hidden in Windows also, I am gonna write it on a DVD... [15:52] Oilut: that depends on the filesystem i do not think iso9660 or udf support hidden files ... [15:53] bjlen: there is a site for doing port-forwarding.. http://portforward.com it has instructions for several different routers [15:54] howdy folks [15:54] slart - thanks. i have set my router successfully. i was just confused by the firewall behaviour on ubuntu but now i understand that it is turned off by default and therefore when i click 'disable' all it's doing is setting it to the normal state, as you mentioned, which means that the ports will be open. is that right? [15:54] erUSUL: Hmmm... its a .ini file.... actually it is a text file, but i dont want people to open it.... In windows i can just left-button click and set as hidden, then write it on the disc. On linux i gess i can name the file with a dot in front of it (.desktop.ini).... DO you have any idea? [15:54] any suggestions on what i could use for photo sharing using lynx? [15:54] bjlen: correct [15:55] does anyone know what package "alsa>=1.0" might be referring to? [15:56] does anyone knows, why my ff3.5 on youtube somtimes shows videos and sometimes do not? does i have to install any plugins? [15:56] Hi , Why when shutdown using gnome-do it dont need entering passwd but when we are goin to shutdown it with terminal it require passwd ? [15:56] MohammadRRR: because you already logged in [15:56] i will assume :) [15:56] MohammadRRR: cause you have to be root? [15:56] erUSUL: R u there? [15:57] mreh: alsa-base provides ALSA [15:57] Oilut: yes; dong some googling [15:57] !info alsa-base | mreh [15:57] mreh: alsa-base (source: alsa-driver): ALSA driver configuration files. In component main, is optional. Version 1.0.20+dfsg-1ubuntu5 (karmic), package size 263 kB, installed size 468 kB [15:57] erUSUL: cool, thanks [15:57] any info for ndiswrapper any1? [15:57] Slart: that's what I reckoned, but I've got alsa base 1.0.8 [15:57] Thanks [15:57] do settings adjusted in gconf-editor need to be done with gcong-editor, sudo gconf-editor or gksudo gconf-editor? [15:57] mreh: you can check in synaptic.. click the package select properties, go to the dependencies tab.. change the dropdown box to "provides" [15:58] what another text browser other than lynx that could support frames? [15:58] !ndiswrapper | Yasou [15:58] Yasou: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [15:58] bjlen: if you use sudo you'll change the settings for root.. to change the settings for your user you just run gconf-editor without gksudo [15:59] !text browser [15:59] Slart, I don't see package "alsa" in the properties anywhere [15:59] BluesKaj, thanks [15:59] Slart: oh, the provides tab [15:59] slart: so the settings would only be valid if i actually logged in as root on startup (using sudo gconf-editor)? [16:00] mreh: yes.. it's a bit odd that it's listed under dependencies =) [16:00] bjlen: correct [16:00] Slart: it doesn't give a version number [16:00] mreh: no, it doesn't .. I'm not sure if it uses the version from the actual alsa-base package.. perhaps apt can get more info out of the package.. not sure [16:01] Hi, how would i be able to connect to a desktop with remote desktop viewer to another computer over the internet? [16:01] Oilut: from what i get you can set hidden attribute in an iso. [16:01] i have a presentation (or a pdf exported from impress, doesn't matter) and i need to combine two slides into one page. how can i do that? [16:01] slart: the reason i ask is: i can't get the auto hibernate on critical battery to work. thought maybe i was changing the setting in the wrong way.but it may be to do with the fact that my battery always jumps straight from about 10% to 0%. but even then it won't auto hibernate [16:01] mreh: I think you need libasound2-dev [16:01] razertek: have you heard of VNC? [16:01] trism: okay [16:01] yes === yofel_ is now known as yofel === desi_transporter is now known as phpmonk [16:01] mreh: yes [16:01] part [16:02] bjlen: hmm.. I have a laptop with ubuntu 8.10 .. but I've never tried those settings [16:02] bjlen: not really sure what to look for [16:02] razertek: if you set up a VNC servr on the target machine you can connect to it over the internet [16:02] how do i pull gnome desktop thru ssh over the internet please [16:02] as long as the server has a public IP address [16:02] slowly [16:02] McL0VIN, use VNC [16:03] mreh: what utility would i run in terminal on the target machine? [16:03] mreh: i use exceed on this M$ box and i am trying to pull my gnome over ssh to exceed [16:03] slart: it's no big issue - it's probably one of the many power quirks there seem to be in ubuntu [16:03] what version of ubuntu do I want for a intel macbook with a 64bit CPU? [16:04] razertek: it's a little more complicated than that, you need to configure the server correctly and then set up the daemon so it runs when the machine starts [16:04] mreh: try apt-cache showpkg alsa-base at the end there it lists Provides: 1.0.20+dfsg-1ubuntu5 - alsa [16:04] Question: What do you guys think about Ubuntu One? [16:04] Oilut: dunno if there is grafical tools to do it. maybe you will have to use the cli genisoimage [16:04] kjs: how much memory? [16:04] mreh: can i not just run it per session? [16:04] Slart: libasound2-dev fixed it [16:05] mreh: ah.. good hunting! =) [16:05] razertek: yes, once configured [16:05] !quietirssi [16:05] To ignore joins, parts, quits in irssi: /ignore #ubuntu +JOINS +PARTS +QUITS [16:06] mreh: do you know of a good source on how to do this so i may experiment on my machine?

[16:07] kjs: you can choose between 32 and 64bit.. the difference isn't that big from a user point of view.. the major difference is that 64bit can support more than 4GB of memory without using some kind of workaround [16:07] MohammadRRR, we ask GDM to do it for us [16:07] MohammadRRR: alf waheed told you the reason ! [16:08] kjs: if it was me I would go with 64bit.. some people would advice you to use 32bit since it's more popular and therefor more polished.. [16:08] Slart: noted, just wondered if I needed a mac specific port. [16:08] kjs: I don't think so.. there might be some special configuration when it comes to grub.. macs use that other bootup stuff..

[16:47] to backup my repository [16:47] I have a remote server and keep getting a "ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host" error. Most likely because my authorized_keys list is "wrong". Is there anything I can possibly do to login? [16:48] seanmccann, to test you could "cd ~/.ssh && mv known_hosts known_hosts_backup" and try again [16:49] in fact, if I plug the speakers in the far right green slot of my Audigy, I hear the sound real messed up [16:49] how can i disable seahorse ? its deamon gets started all the time and the applications (nm) want to save the passwords in the keyring.

[16:50] ezfox, ubuntu-desktop is a meta package -- it's safe to remove it [16:50] member:identifier:zykotick9: no luck [16:50] ZykoticK9: oh, ok [16:50] thx [16:50] pat|nG, OK cause my wireless was working fine until I did some updates a few days ago now nothing [16:51] seanmccann, move known_hosts_backup back to the regular known_hosts - i don't have any other ideas, good luck [16:51] Thanks [16:51] pat|nG, but if i put the live cd in it works fine again [16:51] ezfox: you can safely remove ubuntu-desktop but you may want to reinstall it afterwards as it could cause issues when doing a distribution upgrade. [16:52] earthen, oh thanks! [16:52] earthen: have u retried to remove ur wireless module? [16:52] try it [16:52] IdleOne: ok, will do so [16:52] and install it back [16:52] earthen, headphones plugged at the same place?

It reports the packa ge as installed, but when looking for the bin in /etc/init.d it is not there like before. Performing apt-get remove claims it works, but i'm not convinced, any hints as to where to look next? [16:53] this is on Ubuntu Server [jaunty] [16:54] ezfox: just to clarify for myself here, anytime apt wants to remove ubuntu-desktop it is safe to do so. I always reinstall it afterwards [16:54] hi all! I've got some problems with grub, even reinstalling analogue to the wiki didn't work. Everything was fine with my Karmic, then I installed UbuntuStudio on another HD. Now, the grub installed by the Studio gets used what is very slow (~ 3 Minutes). Some scripts tell me, it is installed on sda and sda5. i reinstalled it on sda5 with my working system with no effect.. === AdamSmith is now known as Guest24340 [16:55] can anyone help with grub2? when i start my pc right at grubloading it lags for a min or two? [16:55] IdleOne, doesn't that replace the package that you just removed? i'd think ubuntu-desktop would only be removed when a package it uses is being removed, then by reinstalling ubuntu-desktop wouldn't that just reinstall what you're trying to remove?

[16:58] Got an odd problem with firefox on ibex - sometimes it refuses to stop connecting to certain sites (e.g. cakephp.org). I close and relaunch, but find I have to kill the firefox process before it will restart. [16:58] earthen, I hear the sound when I plug my speaker in the far right jack... doesn't matter whether its speakers or headphones [16:58] do you have an Audigy 2 as well? [16:58] but the sound is messed up [16:58] Or is that sort of thing par for the course on Ubuntu, bearing in mind I also have to reboot at least once a week to resolve sound issues? [16:58] FunkyWeasel, i'm affraid that's not really an "odd" problem at all... [16:59] how do you change the shut down from 60 seconds? [16:59] maybe next time then [16:59] ewok: same issue here, maybe try reinstalling it like in http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/GRUB#Methode-6-GRUB-wiederherstellen-mit-der-GRUB-Konsole That did not solve it for me, but ive got trouble with multiple grubs installed..

[17:53] you can try that [17:53] I noticed that if you do system -> network -> an icon appears on the desktop with that folder.

[18:02] ankush: ok, just use 'dpkg' to purge grub. --> sudo dpkg --purge grub [18:02] Actually... I have permitted root login via ssh, but because root is disabled on ubuntu it isn't working. [18:03] I need to figure out a way so I can use rsync to clone machines/directories. Any ideas? [18:03] Suhail: In what context? [18:03] ehead: sudo passwd [18:03] ankush: then when you install it, it will be as if it's installing for the first time ever. make sure you're in Juanty when you do this of course [18:03] Pici: I want to know what Inet:getLocalHost might return [18:03] Pici: basically the ip of the server [18:03] i have some problems in enabling visual effects [18:04] Suhail, "ifconfig" on the machine will show IP address(es) [18:04] snarkster: I can run rsync on the client machine, but I need root priviledges on the machine I'm connected to.

[18:04] I need to do this: rsync -avhe ssh /etc/apt/ root@192.168.1.4:/etc/apt/ [18:04] e-head: you wanted to activate the root login.. that hows [18:04] ankush: and/or... read the grub restore manual ;-) [18:04] It's not working because root isn't a valid shell account on 192.168.1.4 [18:05] hmmm [18:05] snarkster: I guess that's the only way to do it probably? [18:05] goto machine and make it one [18:05] Activate the root login.

[18:11] Snubs yea true. im just a bit annyoed with running too many IM apps at once [18:11] so no one knows how to do the vpython install? [18:12] zerozillion_ try using just pidgen and skype, thats only two. to make it easier you could even move them to a new desktop.

(can't change visual effects settings, and redraw is crap.) === GhostEyes is now known as RainbowEyes [18:27] hi all, does anyone use SSH on a regular basis? [18:27] Mr-Woof: what's your SSH question? I *might* be able to help. [18:28] This is going to sound so stupid, but... :-) When you are connected via SSH, what exactly can you do? [18:28] It's not like a vpn? [18:28] <-- SSH Nooob :-) [18:28] Mr-Woof: to a certain degree it is [18:29] Mr-Woof: you can do anything you could do in a local terminal [18:29] Mr-Woof: it's basically a secure login to the shell of your computer [18:29] Ah right I see, so if you say had VNC installed on that machine. You would be able to RDP to a different machine? [18:29] How can I tell if I'm on a 32-bit or 64-bit processor? What are the consequences of installing Ubuntu 64-bit on a 32-bit machine? [18:29] Mr-Woof: with a bit of doodling around you can run your apps on the remote machine graphically [18:30] Myrtti, wow I didn't think I'd be able to do that [18:30] Mr-Woof: well, if you've got vnc, which isn't too secure, you could pipe that through ssh tunnel [18:30] onetinsoldier: never mind. toggled a bunch of settings, logged in and out ... finally rekajiggered something that helped. [18:30] Working on my ubuntu remote share from my mac is a total agony, why is it so slow? [18:30] Mr-Woof: if you ssh into a linux box from another linux box, you can even start X from the linux box you are ssh'ing into. [18:30] pigdude: it both works, its installing 64 on a 32 processor that doesn't work [18:30] I've got an old dell server from work, I've installed SSH and i'm planning on having a bit of a play about with it. I was just wondering what I could actually do [18:30] Cork[home], so I can assume this is 64-bit since it's running? [18:30] pigdude: you just doesn't use the full potential of your processor [18:31] file share that is [18:31] Cork[home], I accidentally installed the 64-bit, uncertain of my CPU specs [18:31] Do you all use Fail2Ban, deny hosts etc? [18:31] pigdude: 64 won't even boot on 32 [18:31] hi [18:31] Squeese: NFS or samba [18:31] Cork[home], I can only imagine how quickly Debian would've run if I installed the 64-bit...I was running the 32 for the past three months [18:31] pigdude: almost all computers on the market to day are 64 [18:31] how you can launch a non supported game on playonlinux??? [18:32] Cork[home], thank you very much for your help [18:32] Mr-Woof: the best method I've found is to allow login only by ssh key [18:32] oh, think Im using samba - atleast using address smp://machine [18:32] pigdude: np [18:32] that's what I've read on the tutorials as well Myrtti [18:32] Mr-Woof: if you want to get fancy, you can also tunnel all sorts of things through SSH ... making it much more akin to a VPN at that point. [18:32] ok, so I oughta look up setting up NFS share? [18:32] useless-guy: congrats! i'm glad you got it worked out ;-) [18:32] ive never messed with samba and a mac.. i went with native NFS support [18:32] smb:// I mean [18:32] I was planning on tunnelling web traffic through it, say If I was at a wifi hot sport [18:32] has anyone ever had an "cluster accounting failed" error in gparted [18:32] *hot spot :) [18:33] onetinsoldier: thanks. always makes you feel super intelligent when a simple log in / log out fixes something you've been bashing your head against for an hour [18:33] I have a 1 terabye HD and I can access any of the files [18:33] anyone know a channel i can ask basic makefile script questions? [18:34] useless-guy: hehe, roger that [18:34] Cork[home]: it's possible i could answer here, depending on how in depth it is. [18:34] useless-guy: i want to output the content in a variable to the screen, but can't seem to get it to work [18:35] i'm trying to debug a client.mk file [18:35] hi all [18:35] oh, sorry a Makefile.in [18:35] Cork[home]: you should be able to throw a simple echo statement in [18:35] Anyway I can defrag a NTFS drive on ubuntu? [18:36] how can I configure sshd to accept dynamic port forwards? [18:36] Cork[home]: like: echo $somevar [18:36] Cork[home]: you want it to be in one of the rules that is being run [18:36] useless-guy: ya, thats what i've been trying to do, but it doesn't parse, but i'll give it another try [18:37] Cork[home]: might need a \ at the end of the line, can't remember [18:37] Cork[home]: semi-colon and a backslash ... maybe [18:37] thx [18:37] Cork[home]: np ... hope it works === john is now known as DarthPuff [18:38] I have installed Xubuntu with 'sudp apt-get install Xubunt' but now my question is how to swich ubuntu at login section?

[18:54] iter: I've also tried several other sources.list from googling [18:54] flan_suse yes. [18:54] iter: nothing seems to get it going... [18:54] j2fly: thanks. i'm looking at it to see if i can see anything wrong. looks ok, at first glance. can we see pastbin of the error messages when you try to run apt-get update? [18:54] onetinsoldier: sure [18:54] Snubs, that's strange. It's as if it's reading it as a USB storage device. [18:54] j2fly: thanks [18:55] Snubs, do it again, but this time: dmesg | tail -n 50 [18:55] flan_suse its a wireless usb since it works on my Win7 machine. [18:55] * j2fly pasted http://pastie.textmate.org/private/szsnbs3uuhlvtpy4c21oa [18:56] hi [18:56] Snubs, it uses the RalinkTech RT2870 chipset. [18:56] flan_suse http://paste.ubuntu.com/365335/ [18:56] Snubs, that should be supported on the 2.6.31 kernel, without a problem... [18:56] is there some french chanel? [18:56] !fr | stef_ [18:56] stef_: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr [18:56] flan_suse what about the drivers? [18:56] merci [18:57] hi, what to do if computer resets after ubuntu install language selection (and when trying it live it reboots after loading the wallpaper and playing the start sound)? [18:57] Snubs, technically, you don't need to install any drivers. [18:57] j2fly: hmm, ok. i'm trying to think of what could be wrong. this happens everytime you are trying apt-get update? [18:57] Snubs, paste the output of: lsmod | grep rt [18:57] onetinsoldier: yes === flashkidd7 is now known as flashkidd [18:57] flan_suse well its not working so something must be up. [18:57] flan_suse lsmod | grep rt [18:57] opps [18:58] LOL [18:58] flan_suse agpgart 42696 1 nvidia [18:58] parport 42220 2 ppdev,lp [18:58] onetinsoldier: I've tried with aptitude as well [18:58] onetinsoldier: no go there either [18:58] j2fly: looks fine, perhaps try another repo/ [18:58] enter sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.list [18:58] Snubs, what about: sudo modprobe -l rt2870sta [18:59] enter :, then %s/de.archive.ubuntu.com/mirrors.us.kernel.org/g [18:59] enter :, then wq [18:59] j2fly: yeah, roger. you've definitely got a problem. i'll bet it can be fixed! but i can't say i know how. what is your version of bzip2? --> dpkg -l bzip2 [18:59] flan_suse kernel/drivers/staging/rt2870/rt2870sta.ko [19:00] onetinsoldier: ii bzip2 1.0.5-3 high-quality block-sorting file compressor - utilities [19:00] Snubs, also: modprobe -l rt2800usb [19:00] Snubs, also: modprobe -l rt2800lib [19:00] Snubs, both, as separate commands. [19:00] j2fly: what iter said. it might just be a problem with that repository. how long have you been trying to update? how many times have you tried and have been getting this problem? [19:00] flan_suse ok [19:01] j2fly: roger. looks like the same version as mine [19:01] onetinsoldier: only trying in the last 2 hours or so [19:01] j2fly: hmm actually that pastebin sources.list works for me [19:01] flan_suse modprobe -l rt2800usb : nothing? [19:01] iter: that's interesting [19:02] j2fly: you might want to run 'memtest86+' ,and let it run for like an hour at least [19:02] Snubs, I forgot. You need to put sudo before everything. [19:02] flan_suse ah ok [19:02] onetinsoldier: what does that do? [19:02] flan_suse still nothing? [19:02] onetinsoldier: it's just a VM... I'm sure the memory is fine [19:02] j2fly: you probably see the option to run memtest86+ in your grub menu when you boot [19:02] Snubs: sudo modprobe -l rt2800usb [19:03] Snubs, nothing? [19:03] j2fly: your on a system that running in a vm right now? [19:03] flan_suse nothing. [19:03] Snubs, ah, no wonder: sudo modprobe -l 2x00usb [19:03] j2fly: your on a system that's running inside a vm right now? [19:04] onetinsoldier: I'm on a windows7 laptop... installed vmware server, then ubuntu 9.10, I have openssh and samba... using DHCP, I can ping google [19:04] flan_suse still nothing [19:04] onetinsoldier: that's as far as I've gotten [19:04] flan_suse are these 9.10 only commands? [19:04] j2fly: ok, that's probably the issue right there [19:04] onetinsoldier: what would be wrong? [19:04] onetinsoldier: I've run ubuntu in a vm at least 10 times [19:04] j2fly: i'm guessing it's that you're in a VM [19:04] Snubs, they are common Linux/Unix commands. [19:04] onetinsoldier: on different systems, production, staging and developmetn [19:04] onetinsoldier: it works fine [19:05] j2fly: and you're always able to apt-get update ok? [19:05] flan_suse ah, well they dont work. [19:05] onetinsoldier: I have been able to in the past [19:05] j2fly: hmmm, roger [19:05] Snubs, try this: sudo modprobe rt2870 [19:05] onetinsoldier: I've only used 8.04 before though [19:05] onetinsoldier: up to I mean [19:05] j2fly: oh.. i see [19:05] onetinsoldier: so this is my first foray with 9.x [19:05] hi guys someone can help me to find a way to configure my tv card leadtek win fast 2000 xp global on ubuntu9.10?

[19:07] Tere [19:07] Snubs, as long as it didn't give an error, you're fine. [19:07] j2fly: all these other times that have worked ok have been with Windows7 as the hosts OS also? [19:07] iter: onetinsoldier: hmmm... dunno why I didn't try this before... I can't actually ping http://de.archive.ubuntu.com [19:07] need some help w firestarter - i don't think it's open ports or i'm misunderstanding how to use it [19:07] onetinsoldier: iter: I can ping google though [19:07] lol [19:07] Snubs, now also do: sudo modprobe rt2x00usb [19:07] iter: onetinsoldier: wtf is up with that [19:07] onetinsoldier: iter: you said that sources.list worked for you?!?! [19:07] flan_suse nothing [19:07] iter: onetinsoldier: urg...

[19:08] hello, i just burnt some mp3s with brasserro, edited the artist etc first of course... But now no program will recognise the artist-title text.. any suggestions? [19:08] j2fly: can you ping mirrors.us.kernel.org [19:08] does anyone know of an ext driver that allows ext4 (ubuntu karmic default install) read capability from windows 7? I've tried a couple and it will mount but I can't read sub directories or files, I can only see the contents of / [19:09] yeason - there isn't one yet [19:09] flan_suse http://paste.ubuntu.com/365345/ [19:09] iter: yes, actually i can! [19:09] ok lets edit sources.list [19:09] iter: how do I go about changing the sources.list to reflect that morror [19:09] mirror* [19:09] enter sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.list [19:09] I can't connect to network through standart cable, only can by WiFi or USB, but when using USB my PC tends to freeze, what could I check for errors or ..? [19:09] iter: I suck at vi... I'll use pico [19:09] I know this is NOT an important issue - but does anyone use Xpenguins and not have them going all the way to the bottom of the screen? This is on a twinview setup, if that makes any difference. http://imagebin.org/82426 [19:09] j2fly: with sed [19:10] sed can do it all in one line too [19:10] jason_froebe: do you know of any in the works...? I'd be happy and willing to alpha/beta test =) [19:10] Snubs, okay, now unplug the USB wireless device. [19:10] flan_suse done [19:10] Snubs, plug it back it, and paste the output of: dmesg | tail -n 50 [19:11] Snubs, remember to use pastebin for anything more than 1 line! [19:11] iter: is there a way to change the mirror globally without editing each link? [19:11] GNU Autoconf....sudo apt-get isntall ?? [19:11] j2fly: yes.. with the 'sed' command [19:11] j2fly: it's very easy in vi [19:11] flan_suse i will. [19:11] also sed can do it like klappi said [19:11] iter: ok... I'll need some hand holding then I guess :-) [19:11] ZykoticK9: I have never used Xpenguins but would assume the placement can be adjusted in a config file [19:11] flan_suse http://paste.ubuntu.com/365346/ [19:12] enter sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.list [19:12] iter: check [19:12] enter :, then %s/de.archive.ubuntu.com/mirrors.us.kernel.org/g === Zioncleric is now known as Naga-tan [19:12] make backup first!

[19:13] flan_suse http://paste.ubuntu.com/365348/ [19:13] j2fly: should say something like 10 substitutions on 10 lines [19:14] then hit colon again [19:14] ZykoticK9: hehe I got Tux's all over my screen now [19:14] type 'wq' press enter [19:14] Snubs, repeat the same thing, but after unplugging the device (without plugging it back in.) [19:14] IdleOne, do they go down to the bottom of your screen? [19:15] ZykoticK9: yes, they drop down to the panel and then run around [19:15] IdleOne: Do they ask you if you need assistance as soon as you get in your groove while typing> [19:15] ?* [19:15] * onetinsoldier wishes xhangglider was still around [19:15] IdleOne, you happen to be running Nvidia/Twinview? [19:15] flan_suse http://paste.ubuntu.com/365350/ [19:15] ZykoticK9: no sorry [19:15] SpaceGhostC2C: thankfully, no [19:16] hey guys, i did an ssh port fowarding, ssh -L 3000:localhost:3000 myuser@myhost, and it worked fine earlier, but now i want to do it again and it says "bind: Address already in use" - how do i kill the old ssh -L so i can run a new one? [19:16] Snubs, hm, okay, I think we're getting close. (I had to do something similar for my wireless USB, which had the same chipset as yours.) [19:16] flan_suse well thats good. [19:16] Snubs, can you reboot without the device plugged in, and rejoin this channel? [19:17] flan_suse i sure can, seeya in a few [19:17] hy [19:17] I am getting errors when I am try to make HandVu. I am try to get handle on why. Various 'str*' not declared in scope messages, should have been declared I think in string.h. [19:18] IdleOne, turns out problem was due to gnome-do - quitting it and they drop all the way down === Mud|game is now known as Mud [19:18] iter: onetinsoldier: here's something interesting... I can ping "google.com" but not "http://google.com" [19:19] ZykoticK9: glad you figured it out [19:19] onetinsoldier: iter: so that is why it's failing I think... I can't ping with the http:// in there... what in the world could be causing that? [19:19] diskimage: about specific errors in the compile process you should talk to the author(s) [19:19] flan_suse im back. [19:19] j2fly: ping doesn't take a http:// [19:19] j2fly: it would be cool if you could install a nice networking moitoring utility like 'iptraf'. but until you can apt-get... [19:19] Snubs, okay, what is the output of: sudo iwconfig [19:19] j2fly: thats normal [19:20] guntbert: ok [19:20] flan_suse this was without plugging the usb device in? [19:20] j2fly: did you change sources.list ? [19:20] j2fly: ping takes a hostname and http:// is just a protocol [19:20] Snubs, yes. [19:20] * j2fly pasted http://pastie.textmate.org/private/tlchwyjxasl28ci1dhfga [19:20] iter: yea [19:20] j2fly: are you able to browse the web ok?

[19:23] flan_suse correct [19:23] Snubs, okay. [19:23] Snubs, do you know how to edit text file with root privileges? [19:24] flan_suse sorry i don't. [19:24] if i want to change the location of /boot it can be done with sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/ /dev/sdX ? [19:24] iter: also I CAN ping de.archive.ubuntu.com [19:24] iter: I was just trying to ping with http:// - doh [19:24] klappi: no [19:24] Snubs, okay, no problem. In the terminal do this: sudo su [19:25] flane_suse ok, done [19:25] klappi: you need to move all your grub files to a new partition, then use the grub shell to re-apply grub [19:25] Snubs, this will make your terminal session unrestricted. And now do this while in the session: gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf [19:25] flan_suse: in ubuntu i think you might be looking for --> sudo -i [19:25] onetinsoldier: sudo su works too [19:25] flan_suse okay, a document has loaded up [19:25] j2fly: ok, roger [19:25] j2fly: please don't recommend that [19:25] <--- is mainly an openSUSE user. :P [19:25] ikonia: i want to move the system to lvm [19:26] !gksudo [19:26] If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [19:26] j2fly: try sudo dpkg --clear-avail ? [19:26] klappi: ok - so you'll need to move the system to lvm and then use the grub shell to re-apply grub, although I would strongly advise you to keep /boot outside of lvm [19:26] j2fly: also you can try my sources.list, at http://paste.ubuntu.com/365357/ [19:26] Snubs, add these four lines to the very end of the file: http://pastebin.org/84034 [19:27] Snubs, and then save the file. [19:27] ikonia: its my work pc here at home i have everything on lvm2 and no problems why leave the /boot out of lvm? [19:27] klappi: because you're then dependant on initrd to boot the system [19:27] iter: heh... still failing with glory [19:28] flan_suse so at the bottom just press enter for a new line and then paste in? [19:28] iter: I'm going to try ubuntu 8.04 === jmrodri is now known as jmrodri-afk [19:28] iter: it's just an effing server to run ruby! [19:28] j2fly: does it still fail on line 4 ?

Why not read the package descriptions? [19:28] flan_suse okay, saved [19:28] I think my network card is broken, but some settings might aswell be wrong, which I doubt, anyway I could check if card is healthy etc? [19:28] j2fly: coudl you pastebin the latest fail [19:29] Snubs, okay, now do: sudo modprobe rt3070sta [19:29] Everybody complains that Linux and things do not work. Likewise, Windows things do not work, the difference is that we're used to the windows' failures. ( by novato_br ) [19:29] iter: yep [19:29] klappi: if you do "ifconfig -a" and you see the card, it's a good chance the device is fine [19:29] Snubs, and then plug in the USB wireless device.

I try 'exit' but it says no boot device found [19:52] Hm, allright. I just read the !permissions link that bot gave me and two questions sort of rose to my mind. What other file definitions are there beside 'file' and 'directory', and what does the 'other' group mean? I know what user and group is, but not 'other'? [19:52] i have a wireless router. When my coputer starts, it usually asks me for some private key password, after which it connects. How to do this same from a console?

[20:30] philosophia: please keep you questions in one line - they are hard to read spread over half a page :) [20:30] fograven make sure you have the drivers. [20:30] a normal user can not run "shutdown" command in a shell though. [20:30] what drivers please? [20:31] fograven go onto system>admin>hardware [20:31] fograven, try a 9 iron [20:31] PeaceMaker: and from the OS point of view the nx user *is* local - the remoting is done by freenx [20:31] having problems w ssh tunnelling through two machines - details at http://pastebin.com/m56f60a30 [20:31] trust me I want too [20:31] I believe there should be a mechanism to prevent remote non-admin user from shutting down the computer. [20:32] grr...I edited xorg.conf yesterday, restarted x and it worked (added higher resolution options for my second screen) now I reboot today and the options are gone. [20:32] Snubs I installed it myself [20:32] from nvidia [20:32] PeaceMaker: that would be the responsibility of freenx then [20:32] when i choose ssh at "connect to network" is scp or sftp being used? [20:33] any ideas? [20:33] guntbert, from my understanding, a normal user can run privileged command through freenx. [20:33] fograven: if you go into the hardware drivers section in administration it will tell you if you have them enabled. [20:33] i meant "connect to server" [20:34] FabioTheApe: this might help http://www.linux4all.net/ubuntu_printing_with_a_mouse_rightclick [20:34] PeaceMaker: I disagree - but we are getting off topic here [20:34] I installed it manually [20:34] do i have to use that [20:34] fograve i know, just check if its been enabled. [20:34] I can say that's freenx's fault. How about vncserver? A normal user is able to start vncserver and it can end up with the same thing. [20:35] no it has not [20:35] fograven then enabled it, restart your Pc and it should work.

[20:36] FabioTheApe: no problem [20:37] i think the main problem is - i do 'ssh -L 1435:remoteserver2:1435 -l user remoteserver2' from remoteserver1. i open 1435 on remoteserver1 in firestarter. from my local machine i should be able to 'telnet remoteserver1 1435' - but i get a 'connection refused' [20:38] does not seem to matter whether 1435 is open in firestarter or not i still get 'connection refused' [20:38] IdleOne, what file extension do i give the script? (I am not very experienced with scripts) [20:38] philosophia: If I see it correctly that is not really ubuntu specific - you might get bett results in ##networking [20:38] ok [20:38] *better [20:39] FabioTheApe: .sh I think [20:39] ok [20:39] FabioTheApe: I am not experienced with scripts either [20:39] philosophia, you are putting a space when you run the command right, like "telnet remoteserver 1435" [20:39] IdleOne, i will try that and see what happens [20:39] why does wireshark doesnt have airpcap? [20:39] lol [20:39] hey all, I just modified my /etc/environment to add a global path. What did I have to do after that to get it to show up?

[23:29] that's it [23:29] Soulhunter_1701 if it is formated in ntfs do you have ntfs-3g installed? [23:30] onetinsoldier: the drive manager shows details like name etc. of the drive [23:30] Soulhunter_1701: try 'sudo fdisk -l' to see your filesystem type [23:30] Mysterious: roger. you mean the device manager? [23:30] lnx4ver, isnt that installed by default? [23:31] onetinsoldier: palimpsest [23:31] Mysterious: how are you trying to get it mounted?

[23:39] deserteagle: if I am understanding you, you're saying a package on the livecd is preventing you from booting the live cd? [23:40] deserteagle: you mount the root parition of ubuntu from the livecd then cherrot to it and remove the package [23:40] erUSUL, exactly.... but how do i do that? :$ [23:40] furthermore, can it be done from a livecd other than ubuntu? (say.... gentoo?)

I did rm -r /usr/local :S. Don't want to have to install from scratch, alternate cd recovery mode wasn't useful, any suggestions better than backup /etc, start over, restore /etc then recomplie the software I got from source and try to remember what else I had on here? Thanks! [23:41] Leonard: wow that looks hosed [23:41] mkanyicy: it's a dvd drive [23:41] erUSUL, and I can only remove it using dpkg run from the livecd? [23:42] Mysterious: cd /media && sudo mkdir test && sudo mount /dev/sr0 /media/test [23:42] deserteagle, you can try, but last time I checked - if the system you are using has vastly different versions of software to the one you are chrooting into, then it won't allow you. [23:42] deserteagle: dpkg or aptitude or apt-get [23:42] Leonard: what browser is that? [23:42] Mysterious, I mean the medium ie the disk itself not the drive [23:42] Blue1: Firefox [23:42] Mysterious can you try /dev/scd0 in place of /dev/cdrom and test if it work?
