[00:00] so i right click on desktop creat a launcher ..anyone know the command? [00:00] Typos_King yes the -f switch [00:00] wizard00: correct [00:00] pfred1: that version is newer than the one you need, so I'm not sure what the problem is ? [00:00] thank you very much!!! :) [00:00] ubuntu rocks though ;) [00:00] ikonia Package `libgtk2.0-dev' is not installed and no info is available. [00:00] wizard00: no [00:00] is there a simple way to install a newer version of wine? the one in karmic is old [00:00] this will be a brilliant help and i d be blogging about it just want my neighbour on net [00:00] ralf_, command to do what, exactly? [00:00] wizard00: you can install software on 8.04 [00:00] pfred1: ok so what's stopping you installing it ? [00:00] ikonia what part of 'it won't install" are you having difficulties understanding? [00:01] wizard00.... I don't think so, depends on what you want to install for that matter, 8.x is still supported anyway [00:01] ralf_ the first thing you do on the desktop is right-click, create laucher, set an icon, set a command, and it should work, but i just dont know the command right now, so we gotta ask someone [00:01] pfred1: you're not telling me why it won't install, error message for example [00:01] ikonia I guess Ubuntu's broken package manager is the problem! [00:01] pfred1: I don't think it's broken at all [00:01] pfred1: could you explain the error you're having [00:01] thanks jumar I will try and look it up on google .. i did try but i will give it another go [00:01] jumar: what do are you trying to do? [00:02] ralf_: try gnome-session-save --logout [00:02] ralf_: what are you trying to do? [00:02] ok. sweet. im a newb. should i dual-boot ubuntu5 and ubuntu 8? [00:02] ikonia if I issue the command sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev and I get the message libgtk2.0-dev: Depends: libgtk2.0-0 (= 2.18.3-1) but 2.18.3-1ubuntu2 is to be installed I see a problem [00:02] pfred1 don't think is the package manager, is the fact you're trying to install an older app which requires such lib, and the newer in place conflicts with it, is an app version issue [00:02] wizard00: why would you do that? [00:02] idk. [00:02] wizard00: What are you trying to accomplish? [00:02] !info libgtk2.0-0 [00:02] libgtk2.0-0 (source: gtk+2.0): The GTK+ graphical user interface library.

[00:02] i just heard that linux is for advanced users only [00:03] wizard00: nope [00:03] wizard00: you said you were using 8.04? [00:03] pfred1: just installed it - it works fine, so the problem is either a.) you've not done an sudo apt-get update first b.) you've put additional repos in that create a conflict [00:03] he's started googling, but i must go, please histo help him, i dont have gnome-session installed, thanks bye! [00:03] using 5.10 [00:03] jumar: ralf_: gnome-session-save --logout [00:03] wizard00: you said 4 earlier [00:03] ikonia in 9.1? [00:03] jumar: me neither I don't knwo what he is trying to do [00:03] ikonia OK so I need to remove repos then? [00:03] ralf_ daniskami got it check it out [00:03] daniskami: you'll prolly have to send ralf a pm since he left [00:03] oh. srry im using 5. there a difference? [00:03] pfred1: depends, do you have additional repo's ? [00:04] ikonia heck if I know [00:04] wizard00: there is in 5 [00:04] histo make a launcher for the desktop for shuting down the machine [00:04] pfred1: could you pastebin your sources.list ? [00:04] gotta go, bye [00:04] pfred1: try a sudo apt-get update first though, [00:04] ikonia if I knew where to find it [00:04] jumar: ahh yeah daniskami has it. [00:04] so i cant install software. it says its unavailable [00:04] pfred1: /etc/apt/sources.list [00:04] ikonia did that over an hour ago [00:04] wizard00: no, the distro is dead, end of lifve [00:04] wizard00: what says unavailible? [00:04] pfred1: I haven't seen it [00:04] ikonia must be why i told you [00:04] wizard00: yeah the repositories aren't there any more. [00:04] histo: bad luck ;) [00:04] wizard00, no wonder. Just use a CD. [00:05] Audacity. (audio editing soft) [00:05] .... [00:05] wizard00: you can move your home to a seperate parition then install fresh and all your documents and stuff would be there. [00:05] pfred1: ok - so pastebin your sources.list as that must be the only other answer [00:05] wizard0 can't install anything in 8.x? [00:05] ikonia ok sec [00:05] dog white [00:05] idk how to do that [00:05] Typos_King: no he says he's running 5 now [00:05] Cristobal: stop please [00:05] IIRC is still supported and the repos are still there [00:05] Cristobal: I've told you the rules of this channel [00:05] 5? [00:05] Typos_King: begining to think he is a troll [00:05] holy! that's ..... rather oldie [00:05] persian canarian [00:07] So later all :) [00:07] ikonia http://pastebin.com/0z1U7LSy [00:08] pfred1: that looks perfect, [00:08] aha, finally got automounting working, needed to install halevt and use hal-mount once on the device, now it automounts it [00:09] halevt.... [00:09] ikonia I sort of wished there was a problem because I'm no closer to a solution to not being able to install the dev package i need here [00:09] pfred1: when you do a "sudo apt-get update" what happens ? [00:10] ikonia let me run it again I don't remember anything important happening really [00:10] Bonsoir! [00:11] what software will allow me to get my laptop's webcam working?

What's up? [00:14] I doubt its medibuntu - but that's all I can see [00:16] I have the file.... for that lib, and I don't think it came from the medibuntu site [00:16] Typos_King: I agree [00:16] pfred1.... got a site I can upload... or email....if that's all you need [00:16] Typos_King: however that is the only external repo, and I've just checked us.archive.ubuntu.com and it's serving the correct versions [00:17] ikonia it was a little different but libgtk2.0-dev still errors out [00:17] pfred1: what stood out as different ? [00:17] !grub [00:17] grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. [00:17] ikonia update took a little longer [00:18] ikonia I still get E: Broken packages [00:18] pfred1: which package is it complaining is broke ? [00:18] ikonia libgtk2.0-dev: Depends: libgtk2.0-0 (= 2.18.3-1) but 2.18.3-1ubuntu2 is to be installed [00:18] ikonia: thank you! [00:19] ikonia its just not accepting 2.18.3-1ubuntu2 as a dep for (= 2.18.3-1) [00:19] pfred1: do a "apt-cache policy libgtk2.0-0" - please pastebin the output [00:19] ikonia OK [00:20] ikonia http://pastebin.com/px4VwCnv === Dos is now known as Guest26478 [00:20] pfred1: which is totally right [00:20] ikonia yes [00:20] pfred1: ok - I wonder, last ditch attempt [00:21] hi all [00:21] pfred1: cd /var/cache/apt/archives [00:21] ikonia usually i just synaptic stuff but this I'd like the latest version if I can get it [00:21] Having trouble with an Ubuntu Net install here. Everything set up fine (including the LVM), but the grub install is failing with "Could not find device for /boot: Not found or not a block device." Advice from http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=504678 helped a little: I was able to copy the needed files into /boot, but the find command still says file not found even though 'ls' says otherwise. help? [00:21] Como troca o nick sem precisar sair... ? [00:21] pfred1: synaptic is the best option, it's stable / compatible packages, but lets see if we can fix this [00:22] ikonia dang do I need all these deb files? [00:22] i've got problem with wireless (rt61pci) and it's supposed to be kernel-related. so i'm wondering: now that 2.6.33 is out - how long is it gonna take until it's gonna be used in ubuntu? [00:22] pfred1: no - remove them all [00:22] ikonia with pleasure! [00:22] nutz: it will be in lucid [00:22] Typos_King: how do I get the "acpi-off" to become permanent? [00:22] ikonia: oh.. so probably no fix for my rt61pci problem until april [00:22] ikonia eeww what is a "partial" directory? [00:22] nutz: no kernel changes to 9.10 [00:23] pfred1: in what respect ? [00:23] can i use grep to ignore strings? possibly multiple strings? [00:23] ikonia: okay, thanks [00:23] ikonia inside of /var/cache/apt/archives [00:23] ikonia this is a complete mess! [00:23] pfred1: sudo rm -rf * [00:23] ikonia done [00:23] ikonia: i'm gonna build my own kernel then, i guess - i found two guides help.ubuntu.. and wiki.ubuntu.. is one of them recommended? [00:23] bun_bun: bun_bun, you edit /etc/default/grub with your custom command-line options and then run update-grub2 [00:23] ikonia there was even a lock file in there too [00:23] pfred1: ok , one more thing [00:24] pfred1: yeah, that's a bit messy, but we can fix that [00:24] I have a single partition - I want to backup the entire system and restore it in another hard disk - a mirror - what is the best and easiest program which can do that ? [00:24] ikonia oh its gone now [00:24] pfred1: cd .. rm pkgcache.bin [00:24] Typos_King: edit with nano? [00:24] bun_bun: I do it by editing /boot/grub/grub.cfg which in the new grub, is the equivalent to the old menu.lst... and then I back it up, if ever gets changed [00:24] bun_bun: nano, vim, emac, any text editor will do [00:25] ikonia I have a srcpkgcache.bin too get rid of it? [00:25] pfred1: nah, that can stay [00:25] Typos_King: where in grub.cfg do I add "acpi=off" ?? [00:25] pfred1: now "sudo apt-get update" [00:25] ikonia I can fix this! E: Archive directory /var/cache/apt/archives/partial is missing. [00:26] pfred1: ughh, are you getting that now ? [00:26] how do i make a shortcut link on ubuntu? [00:26] ikonia sudo mkdir /var/cache/apt/archives/partial worked a treat [00:26] pfred1: cool [00:26] bun_bun: at the end of the /boo/vmlinux-..... line [00:26] pfred1: sudo apt-get autoclean [00:26] s/boo/boot/ [00:26] pfred1: then sudo apt-get update [00:26] ikonia now for the moment of truth drumroll please ..... [00:27] with a 500gb hdd, how big do yall think / should be? [00:27] Typos_King: I'm in /default/grub at the moment (already backed it up) [00:27] justin22885: as big as you want it to be, anything from 4gb to 500gb can be used sensibly [00:27] bun_bun: at the end of the /boo/vmlinux-..... line <---- [00:27] well the majority will be a seperate /home partition [00:27] justin22885: it's your layout, [00:28] hello all, I want to mount a samba place, how can I do it ? (I've tried with: sudo mount -t smbfs /mnt/ -o user=username [00:28] so.. /home being seperate, what would you recommend for /? [00:28] ) [00:28] justin22885: i usually leave 10gigs or 20gigs depends on how many apps you want to install on the box. [00:28] justin22885: it's what you wnat to use - not what I'd recommend [00:28] Typos_King: it seems "update-grub" automatically re-writes grub.cfg - does that make sense? do I then skip changing grub.cfg? [00:28] ikonia no dice! [00:28] justin22885: but its completely up to you. [00:28] pfred1: ooh rats [00:28] well id like the room for all the apps i may install down the road [00:28] update manager has problem about chroimum updating [00:28] how can i solve it? [00:28] ikonia still think of all the room for furry pron i have now! [00:28] pfred1: exactly the same error ? [00:28] justin22885: my current install which is custom / is only 2.77g being used [00:29] ikonia of course [00:29] i think problem is about keyserver [00:29] bun_bun: it does, but update-grub isn't at every single bootup or installation of anything, just usually, on my case, I run it [00:29] so, 20-25gb /, the rest /home should be fine [00:29] justin22885: you can always expand it down the road and shrink home or vice versa [00:29] but i dont know how get keys and how can i use keys for keyserver [00:29] hello all, I want to mount a samba place, how can I do it ? (I've tried with: sudo mount -t smbfs /mnt/ -o user=username) [00:29] pfred1: just thinking [00:29] for chromium update [00:29] how can I check for 9.04 or 9.10 installed? [00:29] bun_bun: isn't run that is [00:29] yeah.. fine, ill go 20 on /, im about ready to turn everything over to linux in a few moments here [00:29] im in windows 7 right now [00:29] antivirt1l: you need to create a directory to mount to [00:30] hmm [00:30] what about me [00:30] xD [00:30] Typos_King, I did it without touching the grub.cfg and now grub does have acpi=off in it at bootup. hmmm [00:30] histo and with what command ? [00:30] antivirt1l: sudo mkdir /mnt/share [00:30] antivirt1l: sudo mount -t cifs //IP/nameofshare /mnt/share [00:30] antivirt1l: that should work you can try smbfs but you need the samba tools installed [00:31] bun_bun: hehehe, I highly doubt that, exit the editor and check again in 'less' [00:31] cifs is what : [00:31] Typos_King, will running this new machine with "acpi off" disable any other features? [00:31] acu: unfortunately most of the open-source drive imaging utilities I know of aren't very friendly. Some of them are listed here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DriveImaging [00:31] ? [00:31] bun_bun: update-grub just will remake it as it was without it [00:31] antivirt1l: do you have any of the samba stuff installed? [00:31] antivirt1l: you can also mount it by going to Places > Network and browsing to the share [00:31] pfred1: scratching my head hard here, why you're apt-cache policy says it wants the correct version, yet apt-get install is looking for an older version [00:32] pfred1: more so when it's just rocketed through on my machine [00:32] histo [00:32] antivirt1l: yes? [00:32] ikonia you have 9.10 ? [00:32] if i mount, can i access to it from shell ? [00:32] bun_bun: just the acpi module usage, which 'might' mean you may need to turn off the machine by also using the power button [00:32] pfred1: yes [00:32] acu: if you're not opposed to proprietary solutions, I've used Acronis TrueImage for a few years now and am very happy with it. [00:32] ikonia yes this is seriously ticking me off I'd really like my dev package so I can build something I really want to have here [00:32] antivirt1l: yeah either way you can. If you do it through gui you just have to find where gvfs or whatever gnome uses mounts it in your home somewhere [00:33] antivirt1l: let me try my share hold up [00:33] pfred1: I understand, I just can't see how you can be in the situation you're in [00:33] What is the pastbin for image ?

[00:33] Klavier: no [00:34] Typos_King, strange. I've rebooted twice and it's working without having made any changes to grub.cfg [00:34] wells you can use imgur.com [00:34] i have karmic koala... i have 3 gb ram [00:34] !upnp [00:34] To stream media to other UPNP aware devices (such as the Xbox, PS3, or iRadio) you need a UPNP server.

[00:34] Klavier: using the correct xorg video drive is the best way to visually speed up your machine [00:34] bun_bun: heheh, no acpi=off in it? [00:35] ikonia, i have problem about updating chroium web browser,, i think it s about keyserver [00:35] I can't find "acpi=off" in grub.cfg - no [00:35] ikonia I wish I had the option to dump gtk+ but i htink Ubuntu would blow a gasket if i asked it to do that [00:35] do u have any idea? [00:35] wtf [00:35] brjann: thanks for the pointers [00:35] pfred1: %101 will [00:35] so i've got an external mounted to /mnt/external [00:35] MrPockets: please control your language [00:35] acu: no problem, good luck :) [00:35] and i sudo chmod 755 /mnt/external [00:35] update-manager fails for chromium [00:35] but nothign happens === linucks is now known as linucks[afk] [00:35] Hello!

[00:36] ntfs? === nikolam_ is now known as nikolam [00:36] uhoh [00:36] Klavier: .... tried Opera? hehhe, might be faster for you....it's so for me, web browser wise [00:36] Have a problem with a samba server here: when trying to share a folder theres an error: NT_ STATUS_INSUFFICIENT_RESOURCES - anyone know what could cause this? [00:36] chromium is the best [00:36] for speed performance i think [00:36] Klavier: and yet you're complaining it's not fast enough [00:36] so i prefer this [00:36] Klavier heheh, ooooookk.. well, I digress [00:37] is Epiphany (web browser) any good? [00:37] and will it work for the xfce interface? [00:37] pfred1: stuggling to think of a situation, as to how you got into this situation [00:37] ikonia, i prefer this with IE or Firefox [00:37] will renaming my /etc/hostname /etc/hosts to something else break anything.. i remember doing it once for something, and recall there was some problem with it [00:37] ikonia just got tired of Microsoft around 15 years ago I guess [00:37] i have Awg menu bar... it s works slow [00:37] B3rz3rk3r: can do if you have anything referenced by the old hostname [00:37] Aled: speed wise... I've heard good on Midori speed wise....not sure how well it fares in js, but does use the webkit engine [00:37] i've switced to dwm from gnome and i'm noticing that some things i took for granted in my xsession defaults (sound, wifi management, scim IME support) are not by default loading/configured. does anyone have any experience with this? i am using wicd to manage wifi instead of the network manager applet. but scim and sound are still only half-working [00:38] ikonia, awg menubar items working slow.. show up slowly [00:38] anyone knows a channel for spanish ubuntu? [00:38] ikonia I even made KDE version .4 run on Slackware 3.4 once and that was no small feat! [00:38] !es [00:38] En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [00:38] ikonia, hey, to be clear im following this bug report as it affects me too: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+bug/338411 [00:38] Klavier: as I said earlier, make sure you have the best/most compatible xorg driver for your video card [00:39] if i reduce the amount of available ttys from 6 to 2 will this have any adverse effects on my installation? [00:39] airtonix: not really as long as there is still one to run your display [00:39] yeah man [00:39] real wierd [00:39] Klavier, if you are using the the Chromium Daily PPA and are missing the key "sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 4E5E17B5" should get it for you. But as you have not provided any specific info I can't be sure this is the issue or the PPA with the problem. [00:39] O [00:39] ikonia, i assume this "display" you speak of occurs on tty0 ? [00:40] airtonix: I can't remember to be honest, thought it was 6 [00:40] I'm having an issue with flash. I can't seem to get Youtube videos to play and I'm also having trouble getting parts of facebook to work [00:40] softy: I use kde... but prefer nm-applet from gnome as network manager.....so [00:40] !non-free [00:40] I have the whole restricted extras for Ubuntu installed though [00:40] ikonia with X I think there's 7 typically [00:40] hmm [00:40] thank you [00:40] Does alsa have their own channel? [00:40] airtonix: there you go, 7 [00:40] ubottu: non-free [00:40] ZykoticK9, why did u use --recv-keys 4E5E17B5 [00:40] ikonia but i have to admit i got lost when they switched over to the whole VT thing [00:41] this key numbers?

VirtualHost localhost:80 overlaps with VirtualHost localhost:80 [00:43] Typos_King: when i use dwm as just a wm _inside_ of a gnome session those settings work [00:44] Typos_King: so I assume i need to put more stuff in my xinit if i am to run dwm at session-level [00:44] alzamabar because they're on the same port and hostmask?

[01:17] how can i delete corrupted files like http://pastebin.com/U5kQAb0p when even root doesnt have permissions ? [01:17] arand: the "search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set UUID_OF_ROOT_PARTITION" causes grub to fail and say it can't find it, so if I remove that line from the stanza and ctrl+x to boot, it boots just fine [01:17] GeekSquid: restart does not matter I'm having this all the time [01:18] wells: what version of ubuntu? [01:18] GeekSquid: 9.10 [01:18] PeskyJ: https://edge.launchpad.net/~gdm2setup/+archive/gdm2setup [01:18] arand: says no such program gdm2setup, but gdmsetup runs and is the same as system->administration->login screen [01:18] schwert can't chmod the file to have permissions? [01:19] pfred1, not event that works [01:19] schwert: that usually means your filesystem itself is corrupted. I would reboot and force a filesystem check with sudo shutdown -rF now [01:19] PeskyJ: it's a specific python-gdm2setup from that ppa [01:19] geus, I'll try that too [01:19] Thanks [01:19] GeekSquid: Ooo 3.1.1 build 9420 [01:19] Klowner... so remove it or comment it, no? === drew is now known as Guest80173 [01:20] schwert chattr doesn't work either?

I know is in /etc I've edited it before [01:23] Typos_King: that's what I'm frustrated, there's no mention of "search" anywhere in any of the /etc/grub.d tuff [01:23] PeskyJ: The quick and easy way it "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gdm2setup/gdm2setup", provided you trust the ppa of course.. [01:23] er, stuff [01:23] arand: so is it the case that some random person made that particular PPA and when people do that and if it has useful stuff the ubuntu people will put it into a later release? [01:24] Klowner: I figured the uuid might just simply be wrong and that an update might correct it.. === ryan__ is now known as causasui [01:24] the uuid is correct [01:24] it's just that the searching for the device fails, but the kernel itself has no issues finding it [01:24] and I can't tell stupid grub to stop looking for it [01:24] schwert: when you ran fsck with --rebuild-tree, did you also run it with --scan-whole-partition? [01:24] Klowner: I don't think is that file [01:24] brjann, no [01:25] wells: strange .. take it to launchpad ... note it might have to do with localization ... give them everything you got [01:25] schwert what does lsattr say about the file? [01:25] no idea to custom install cd of ubuntu 8.0.4 ? [01:25] schwert: try that, it's possible there's a dangling node in what reiser thinks is currently free space. [01:25] hello [01:25] what you'd like custom?

[01:26] sheldon, check this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1155961 [01:26] schwert: and as always, make sure your data is backed up, etc before doing crazy filesystem things :) [01:26] brjann, too late for that [01:26] maybe some info for you there [01:26] brjann people still use Reiser after what happened? [01:26] GeekSquid: tkx :) [01:27] pfred1: apparently :) [01:27] brjann he must have lots of time to code now! [01:27] schwert: well, good luck then :) [01:27] arand: I see, and what's a sensible way to decide if you trust someone who makes these things? [01:27] Klowner: in 9.1 I think is /etc/grub.d/10_linux [01:28] pfred1: that has nothing to do with the filesystem, and afaik, it's maintained by other people atm.. [01:28] Klowner: decently sure that's the file I edited, which has the template [01:28] arand I just don't wnat to wake up in a dumpster in 17 different garbage bags!

[01:33] !ask > d4rkh4v0k [01:33] d4rkh4v0k, please see my private message [01:33] miwi: because your processor goes to crap as the mac loses all its cycles laughing at how bad of a copy job Win 7 is [01:34] I know, It wasn't intended for the chat windo [01:34] window [01:34] I was trying to get reaquiainted with the commands it's been 6 months since I've used IRC [01:34] miwi: As if aero wasn't an obvious enough jab at aqua, then you have the stupid sidebar thing, and now they have tried to lift the dock [01:35] arand: yeah - I generally just go with these things, but I'm trying to learn how it all works organisational wise [01:35] dragonbyte wasn't there a dock in Afterstep? or a wharf or something? [01:35] folks, this happened to me the other day: someone started controlling my ubuntu 9.04 computer via the VNC remote protocol that comes with the distro. I have a password set up on this computer. I got the intruder to start typing back and forth with me; he told me that my IP address is on a list somewhere of vulnerable computers. He claimed to be from Romania, and claimed to have accessed many computers this way, including the [01:35] mainframe at a major international airport. I shut down the port forwarding to close the whole. But what's up with this vulnerability? [01:35] arand: I suppose anyone who is a member in the 'ubuntu' group should get some level of trust - or is that misguided? is there some kind of vetting process for members?# [01:36] drangonbyte: yeah i agree win7 is a poor attempt to copy mac, but at the same time m$ft off2k7 is required for some companies [01:36] !ot | dragonbyte miwi [01:36] dragonbyte miwi: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [01:36] * Typos_King dashes [01:37] ardchoille yeah well I've been here for over 2 hours now and I have the same problem one has to do something to break up the monotony you know? [01:37] vino's out. it wouldnt work. ive switched to x11vnc. Chicken of the VNC is working with it great, but the build in VNC client in os x is stuck at connecting. any ideas? [01:37] miwi: so i run ubuntu in vmware fusion next to the win xp that I use for office 2k7 [01:38] PeskyJ: Mind that anyone with an LP account (who has a pgp key and has signed the CoC) can get a PPA, yea, to become an ubuntu meber there are some steps, and a "significant contribution to ubuntu" required. [01:38] Does anyone know of an online resource to study A+ [01:38] dragonbyte: fair enough. on that note, I am struggling to get ubuntu 9.10 to play nicely with the evolution exchange mapi plugin [01:38] office 2007 works fine on wine [01:39] PeskyJ: I'd say it's quite rare to find deliberate problems in PPAs. Bugs, on the other hand, are as frequent & numerous as in the regular repos... [01:39] miwi: I actually gave that up ages ago. Though, I was pretty impressed with joining an ubuntu machine to a windows domain so easily [01:39] fabio999 red wine gives me the worst hangovers [01:39] dragonbyte: I checked launchpad and I see other users with exchange authentication issues, but I do not see any solutions [01:39] has anyone else had problems with iron browser? i can't even open it. it seg faults immediately. does anyone have any ideas? [01:39] miwi: the real trick is to replace the exchange server with something that functions properly :) [01:40] dragonbyte: I'll second that [01:40] A small question: In a console in X I launch startx and it works what's the possibilities for being able to do this... ;) [01:40] jon5001: so how did he get in. Is the password easily guessable? [01:40] binMonkey: it is for your own protection [01:40] Hmm - ive never even heard of the 'iron' browser [01:40] join #amsn [01:40] dragonbyte: how? === mmmmmmmm is now known as Out`Of`Control [01:40] PeskyJ: But I myself have a ppa, and naught but my good word (and the source code of course) can vouch for it's safety, since I really have no official ties at all.. [01:40] Losha, not easily guessable. he said he had something called "Black VNC" which somehow bypasses passwords. [01:40] Dr_Willis: it's a version of chrome stripped of reporting to google. [01:41] how do I go about repairing a "E: Broken packages" message? [01:41] binMonkey: sounds like its got some bugs. [01:41] binMonkey: well, that is how it prevents any web based security vulnerabilities. You just replace your normal browser with one that doesn't function [01:42] dragonbyte: well, until the corporate exchange world switches to something public, I'll keep to running vm with ubuntu for outlook [01:42] Dr_Willis: i guess the update fouled some things up. i hoped someone here knew something. [01:42] arand: yeah, I figured anyone can do it - I'm just wondering how these things are monitored and how the community in general ousts any attempts by neer-do-wells to inject dodgy software [01:42] binMonkey: Its not in the official repos i imagine. So best bet would be the browsers homepage/forums [01:42] what is a good file manager? [01:42] miwi: Mail.app works with exchange as far as I know if you are on a MAc [01:42] claws_: depends on your needs. [01:42] dragonbyte: i don't understand. are you saying the program itself stopped running. [01:43] binMonkey: it was a joke [01:43] PeskyJ I think spammers hsould be publically tortured and executed [01:43] that's what i thought. thanks for the help. [01:43] dragonbyte: unfortunately the work comp is a pc... oh well nothing is perfect [01:43] well... i need it to do everything that explorer do.... at least [01:43] PeskyJ: fact is, nothing of the sort has yet occured afaik. Only a metter of time I guess, but so far it has been discussed little or none... [01:44] binMonkey: well, you would kind of need to provide how you got the executable, where you got it, how you installed it, and a whole host of other information to even begin discussing why it might have segfaulted [01:45] dragonbyte its been a while but don't you need to set a ulimit to allow core dumps too? [01:45] airtonix: ok, this line seems to work for me, bus.add_signal_receiver(callback_func, "ActiveChanged", "org.gnome.ScreenSaver") [01:45] dragonbyte: you are right. once again, thanks for the help. [01:45] jon5001: first I've ever heard of it, but clearly he knows something we don't. Personally, I only allow access to my machines from outside via ssh. I recommend you do the same. [01:45] dragonbyte binMonkey executable¿¿ is a win app¿¿ [01:45] trism, testing it now' [01:45] arand: hrm, that's a bit worrying, I mean it would sure be a lot of work to put something in and hide it sufficiently so as not to go easily noticed, but if there's no review process it could be an easy target :/ [01:46] xangua: no. it's not a win app. you are very helpful, too. [01:46] Losha, true. [01:46] binMonkey: Also, being rude and humorless is also likely to have people flocking to assist [01:47] claws_: and you have some problem with the default gnome file manager? [01:47] jon5001: yeah, if you want to set up VNC, only allow it from localhost, then you can tunnel in over SSH [01:47] is gnom commander any good? [01:47] i don't know what you call it, but the tgz expands to a single directory and you run the program from that directory. i tried it by cd-ing int to the directory and running ./iron. [01:47] how can I get 2.18.3-1ubuntu2 to provide the dependency for libgtk2.0-0 (= 2.18.3-1) trying to install libgtk2.0-dev ? [01:47] claws_: try it and see if you like it. I tend to use 'mc' and 'rox-filer' as alternatives to gnomes nautilus [01:47] PeskyJ: We're slipping a bit offtopic here I think, I'll be in #ubuntu-offtopic ;) [01:47] or use nomachine nx, alot better imho, and it's free [01:48] LTL2h: 1)You've launched a qemu-kvm guest in vga console OR 2)You've kept display :0 free ! OOOOooohhhHHH !!! amazing startx ! [01:48] jon5001: of if you're behind a NAT it becaomes so much easier as you only hav eto worry about LAN then :) [01:48] pfred1: not sure, I never go that deep with it. Typically if I have something segfaulting it is because it got built wrong so I rebuild it or get it from a better source [01:48] bIGHh: 200% TRUE ! [01:48] dragonbyte: i'm sorry if i was rude. your comments and xangua's seemed a little bit 'facepalmy'. [01:48] gmm [01:48] binMonkey: so it comes precompiled. or 'statically' compiled. very likely some Lib conflict. Run it from terminal. look for error messages. is about all you can do. and report the erorrs to the programs homepage === fabio999 is now known as fabio_999 [01:48] binMonkey: or try recompiling from source [01:48] hi folks, i'm not sure i'm in the right place for lucid questions, but if so, can anyone help me to install lucid from a usb key? i get errors using both the live cd and the alternate cd (amd64) [01:49] Dr_Willis: gr8.. i wil try some out :) [01:49] dragonbyte all I'm trying to do is to apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev [01:49] !lucid | melissawm [01:49] melissawm: Lucid Lynx is the codename for Ubuntu 10.04, due April 2010 - Lucid is NOT released and is NOT stable - Discussion and support only in #ubuntu+1 [01:49] Dr_Willis: ok. it the onlyt message is 'segmentation fault', is there anywhere else i can look? [01:49] jon5001: I see something similar to what you describe here, but its from 2006: http://74.125.155.132/search?q=cache:tzsjBhg96toJ:www.securiteam.com/unixfocus/5WP0D1FIKC.html+Black+VNC+bypass+password&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us [01:49] melissawm: use a tool like unetbootin, or the usb-disk creator tool to make a bootable usb key. boot from key. and install [01:49] dragonbyte but apparently that is "too deep' for Ubuntu to do here! [01:49] pfred1: oh sorry, thought you meant bin's issue. Uhm, make sure you have the latest and greatest lists [01:49] binMonkey: one thing you might try is running ldd to see if the executable is missing any library dependencies [01:49] binMonkey: Not that i can think of. a seg falt is a bad crash [01:49] hi all! need help: how to change single click to double click navigation in File-Roller? [01:50] bIGHh: Though you can do 2) after 1) ; AKA 2)+1) = 0... 0H0H. [01:50] pfred1: if your dev sources don't match your bin sources it could give you pain too. [01:50] Dr_Willis: thanks, i did that, but i get an error installing. anyway i'll go to #ubuntu+1 :) [01:50] brjann: is that 'ldd ./appname'? [01:50] dragonbyte as in apt-get update ? [01:50] binMonkey: ldd will spit out a bunch of information about what dynamic libraries are linked to the executable. look for anything that says "not found" or the like [01:50] pfred1: yeah, do an update, and make sure your sources.list entries are all kosher [01:50] brjann: cool, thanks. [01:50] dragonbyte I don't think the 13th time will exactly be a charmer do you? [01:51] dragonbyte but what the hey I'm bored you know? [01:51] ZenSimilia, edit/preferences/behaviour in nautilus [01:51] pfred1: well then you either may have a problem in your sources.list (ie, bad dev source) or there is a screwed up dependency in the package listing [01:51] dragonbyte would you look at that [01:51] dragonbyte the same error! [01:52] dragonbyte yes I'm leaning towards the "there is a screwed up dependency in the package listing" myself [01:52] trism, sorry that doesn't do anything for me [01:52] geus, i use PCmanfm [01:53] soz, just noticed the mistake [01:53] bIGHh: In this case be ready to use qemu-kvm console command "sendkey ctrl-alt-F." to switch between X's Guest or/then ctrl-alt-1 to host home your mouse... HIHI. [01:53] pfred1: if your sources.list is all clean then you could also clean cache and let it redownload. Other than that, not sure what else to tell you [01:53] can anyone recomend a good template editor? [01:54] Elias [01:54] pfred1: you might try the -proposed repository, to see if there's a glitch in the package [01:54] hi group [01:54] brjann how would i do that? === Luke__ is now known as compuman [01:55] I can someone tell me how to add firefox icon to the panel? [01:55] pfred1: look here, the "selective upgrading" part: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed [01:55] can some one help in finding a set of drivers for my Vodoo 3dfx card [01:55] s/ctrl-alt-1/ctrl-alt/ ; ctrl-alt-1 was before sendkey... eheh! [01:55] its only showing firefox installer [01:55] brjann I am more of a stable release kind of a guy [01:55] sate: for gnome you can drag an icon from the menus to the panel. [01:55] LTL2h: Brilliant ! [01:55] sate: Right click on it (in the applications menu) and choose "Add this launcher to Panel" [01:55] chrome has a lot of hiden features [01:55] The problem is it's gone [01:56] sate: could be firefox is not installed.. or the menus need refreshed [01:56] pfred1: hence the selective upgrade part -- you don't have to upgrade any more than you want to. [01:56] I have firefox installed [01:56] but its only showing firefox installer [01:56] sate: log out/back in - and see if it shows up [01:56] brjann you think if I downgraded my libgtk2.18.3-1ubuntu2 to a name closer to 2.18.3-1 could help? [01:56] thanks bighh, though there are so many me as me... [01:56] Tried that [01:57] Still showing firefox browser [01:57] brjann this is the dep error I get: libgtk2.0-dev: Depends: libgtk2.0-0 (= 2.18.3-1) but 2.18.3-1ubuntu2 is to be installed [01:57] browser installer * [01:57] pfred1: it might, yes. the latest version of libgtk-2.0-dev in the repo might not be the same version as the latest libgtk-2.0 [01:58] sate: you could right clck on desktoo -> make new launcher have it launch 'firefox' - try just 'firefox' from a terminal also. make sure that works [01:58] pfred1: if that's the case, you could a) try rolling libgtk-2.0 back to match libgtk-2.0-dev, or you could check -proposed to see if there's a version of libgtk-2.0-dev that matches your libgtk-2.0 [01:58] Hi all is this thing working here LOL [01:58] Only time ive seen 'firefox installer' was on my Kubuntu Box. [01:58] !hi | john__ [01:58] john__: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! [01:58] That works [01:58] The firefox in terminal [01:58] brjann i just wish it'd work like it is supposed to as opposed to me jumping thorugh all sorts of flaming hoops I'd prefer not getting burned by any of this later on it all [01:58] thanks I thought I was not hooked up here [01:59] how do you make a new launcher? [01:59] Can some one help in Helping me with my Vodoo card [01:59] brjann as in I'd like the dev package of gtk installed that is supposed to go with my release nothing more [01:59] vodoo? [01:59] yep 3dfx card [01:59] you mean you wanna curse someone with insuffurable pain? [01:59] it is older but works [01:59] Losha, yes, that seems to be it. i think more ununtu users should know about this!! [01:59] ;) [01:59] sate: right click on desktop -> make new launcher [02:00] 'Create Launcher' [02:00] pfred1: I understand, but I have no control over that :) [02:00] i see it [02:00] john__ i have one of those! [02:00] now whats the command? [02:00] john__: yeah, I wouldn't know about that [02:00] sorre [02:00] sate: err.. same as you typed in the terminal.. 'firefox' [02:01] * m3onh0x84 is away: I'm busy now [02:01] pfred1 what drivers did you ise [02:01] use* [02:01] john__ its sitting in a cardboard box someplace now [02:01] use [02:01] yes [02:01] sorry [02:01] pfred1: wait, do you have karmic-updates enabled? [02:01] yup that worked thanks [02:01] brjann how can I check? [02:01] airtonix: could be a problem with the screensaver not sending the appropriate signals, but http://paste.ubuntu.com/385437/ this works for me (two files, one to start the screensaver with dbus, since I can't seem to get it to active on its own...perhaps that's why mine works) [02:02] doh! it's grub2 that's installed there. shift not esc forces the menu [02:02] brjann: thanks for the ldd command. it didn't help but it's something new to learn. thanks. [02:02] pfred1: System > Administration > Software Sources, under the "Updates" tab [02:02] any way In want to have a smaller screen but all I can get is 800x600 [02:02] binMonkey: no problem, sorry it didn't help :) [02:02] !display | john__ [02:02] john__: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution [02:02] :) [02:03] brjann when I sudo apt-get update I see a lot of karmic this that and the other things [02:03] john__: have you tried that solution? [02:03] going to try it now [02:03] john__: Good luck. :) [02:03] brjann come to look at it every line is karmic something or other [02:04] karmic updates... [02:04] geus you know I'm not seeing it [02:04] !sources | pfred1 [02:04] pfred1: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories [02:05] CrashOverride how about just see the command to enable them here? [02:05] i forgot my password. that hasn't happened at home in years :) [02:05] if you added the normal update sources (or left 'em default) they should be perfectly safe to upgrade to [02:05] pfred1: the reason I'm asking is because karmic was shipped with version 2.18.3-1 of gtk and gtk-dev. the updated versions in the karmic-updates repo are 2.18.3-1ubuntu2.2, which is similar to the version in your error [02:05] How do i add permissions for a user to be able to upload files via ftp to /var/www? (drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2010-02-27 19:37 www) [02:06] pfred1: despite your 13 attempts to update and check your sources so far, it really does seem like you're having a source issue [02:06] brjann yes i have no line that says karmic updates [02:06] EmilemiL chmod the directory [02:06] chmod +775 or +777 /var/www [02:07] ok type in sudo in run App and not there I have to remember how to bring it up [02:07] flyman: its already 755 but woundnt it be less safe to use 777? [02:07] pfred1: okay, it seems like that's the problem. somehow libgtk2.0-0 was updated to version 2.18.3-1ubuntu2, but since you don't have karmic-updates enabled, apt can't find a version of libgtk2.0-dev to match it. [02:07] test [02:08] !lostpassword [02:08] EmilemiL won't work till you make it 777 and yes it is unsafe [02:08] Forgot your password? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword What's the root password? See !sudo. Don't see *** in password prompts? That's normal. Sudo doesn't ask for your password? It remembers you for several minutes. Please use strong passwords, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/StrongPasswords [02:09] flyman: ok, ill give it a try === FeiRuoWa is now known as zz_FeiRuoWa [02:09] 2 [02:10] w [02:10] you should make a seperate user on the system and give him the privs even if he's remote (or accept IP but useless without static ip of client connecting) rather then really chmodd that directory but might want to think about it. [02:10] Pirate: Please state your question [02:10] EmilemiL: alternatively you could chown the directory to the user ftp runs as. [02:11] !etiquette pirate [02:11] opps [02:11] !etiquette | rate [02:11] rate: Unsure how you should behave on this channel?

[02:11] Ok How does one open sudo again [02:11] damn [02:11] john__: erm, sudo? [02:11] :P [02:11] brjann: ok [02:11] john__ open a terminal /end [02:11] john: Go to your terminal [02:11] hey, I just lost my system to a crashed hard drive, and trying to install with the latest beta that was online [02:11] john: Go to Application > Then first tab > then Terminal [02:12] when I try to boot it up, i just get a blank screen [02:12] and i can't see anything [02:12] just blank [02:12] btw, can anyone tell me how to add the users name in front of my msg w/o writing it? :) [02:12] this is my first time on Linux system I was so pissed at windows I killed it LOL [02:12] is there a good way for me to fix this ? [02:12] agoole most likely the graphics or not loading the partition that was in the original mbr, possible. [02:12] EmilemiL what do you mean? [02:12] EmilemiL, type the first 2-3 chars and then press TAB [02:12] agoole, if by beta you mean Lucid ask your question in #ubuntu+1 (it's common BTW, i don't know solution) [02:12] flyman: euh...I tried a different live cd, an older one, and it worked fine, [02:13] kostkon pfft get a real mouse! [02:13] okay that is atl f2 right [02:13] kostkon ah thanks [02:13] EmilemiL: e.g., if the ftp daemon runs as user ftp, you could chown the directory to ftp:www-data and change the permissions to 755. [02:13] ZykoticK9: oh perfect, thanks [02:13] !private > john__ [02:13] john__, please see my private message [02:14] brjann: okey, well i tryed that but it didnt work for me, maybe i did something wrong. chmod 777 works tho [02:14] !terminal > john__ [02:14] john__, please see my private message [02:15] John__: that should help you with your terminal problem [02:15] EmilemiL: okay. just beware that isn't very secure :) [02:15] agoole well your vid gfx may not be supported (assuming new card or not found by ubuntu correctly) but the system may also not have been installed correctly either. You know if you're using grub(2) or lilo? [02:15] brjann: that's what im afraid of ;) [02:15] ZykoticK9: Lucid is what, about four weeks away? [02:16] greezmunkey, 19 days until Beta 1 -- 61 days till final [02:16] flyman: using grub originally [02:16] flyman: but I lost everything [02:16] flyman: hard drive crashed [02:16] EmilemiL: what user did you chown to? [02:16] EmilemiL could always make a cron script to look for suspious activity or from specific user and if he/she starts trying to del everything you could stop it, bunch of scripts out their that could help depending on what daemon. [02:17] brjann: can i just change premissions back to 755? [02:17] brjann: chown to www-data i think [02:17] agoole when you installed was it off of internet/lan or just live cd? also did you delete the original partitions / wip the orig mbr? or do you know if it even got that far? [02:18] flyman, if you want to assist with agoole's issue please join #ubuntu+1 as well (he's running Lucid) [02:18] flyman: from the safety of it all, since im the only user what safety holes do i have? [02:18] EmilemiL: ah. yeah, that wouldn't work. apache runs as www-data, not your ftp server. run this for me: ps aux | grep ftpd and tell me what user it's running as? [02:18] flyman: live cd, and I just swapped in a new drive, since my hard drive jsut died 2 days ago [02:19] sudo/ect/init.d/?dm: No such file or directory [02:20] brjann: im bad at that, got alot of text with root and www-data [02:20] john__: use gdm or kdm, actually use 'sudo service gdm restart' if you want to restart gdm [02:20] john__: and use proper spaces in commands.. [02:20] EmilemiL: what ftp server are you using? [02:20] ZykoticK9: agoole: this may be useful: http://www.linux.com/learn/tutorials/8225-clone-your-ubuntu-installation-onto-a-new-hard-disk [02:20] software center keeps segfaulting [02:20] ZykoticK9: sorry... [02:20] brjann: protftp [02:21] brjann: that runs as root [02:21] hi all, I'm running 10.3 and I got some problem setting my network up, the change I make in /etc/network don't appear when I restart. Every time I have to run sudo ifconfig eth1 192.168.0.1 then start firestarter and the network is fine, but I need this to be automatic at boot, tried a sh script without success, is this a knows bug [02:21] EmilemiL: it runs as root? then there's no reason it shouldn't be able to write whereever it wants to [02:22] Jeffx: /join #ubuntu+1 [02:22] EmilemiL: oh, well. nevermind then :) [02:22] so I do this in Terminal right === k[a]tie is now known as katie11 [02:23] brjann: root 7883 0.0 0.0 3004 752 pts/0 R+ 03:21 0:00 grep protftpd. but changing to 755 again resulted in lost permissions, im loggin in with my default user name [02:23] bye [02:23] EmilemiL: oh! that's just the grep command. you misspelled proftpd :) [02:24] brjann: haha ok, gimme a sec then === pascalFR is now known as Parti [02:24] is nero linux avaiable for karmic [02:24] ? [02:25] !nero [02:25] !nero linux [02:25] Okay from the start here [02:25] how can i log my account in from the gnome login window using terminal? [02:25] like I said first time here just a newbe LOL [02:25] brjann: sent you the lines in priv [02:25] jeffx what does your setup look like? do you have router? is your interface wired or wireless [02:25] http://pastebin.com/yN8V2kTQ [02:26] donvito, you'll have to buy it from here: http://www.nero.com/enu/linux4.html [02:26] Nero to linux ? [02:26] <_Tristan> pikeshouse88: on the bottom there's a session type dropdown [02:26] skippuff54: he is using lucid, feel free to join him in #ubuntu+1 [02:26] okey [02:26] but is it avaiable? [02:26] donvito, only a free demo version [02:26] anyother [02:26] _Tristan: lets assume i'm trying to this from ssh to allow VNC to start [02:26] donvito, if you want the full app, you'll have to buy it [02:26] good recording program like nero [02:27] anyother [02:27] good recording program like nero [02:27] <_Tristan> pikeshouse88: then I don't know [02:27] !burners | donvito [02:27] donvito: CD/DVD Burning software: K3b (KDE), gnomebaker, brasero, serpentine, graveman, Nautilus-CD-Burner, GToaster, xcdroast (GNOME), wodim (terminal-based). Burning .iso files: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto [02:28] from remote machine, id like to ssh into my server and sign into my account from the UI [02:28] k3b is good and has a decent UI [02:28] so that VNC can work [02:28] flyman: if you want to call qt a "decent ui".. [02:30] donvito: nero linux - i dont think has all the features and extra tools that Nero for windows does. [02:31] anyone know how to log in gnome ui from terminal? [02:31] Brasero has always gotten the job done for me. =D [02:31] pikeshouse88: for 'vnc' i normally install and set up 'vncserver' so i can 'ssh' in and run 'vncserver' - theres no need to login to the gnome desktop that way. [02:31] pikeshouse88: or set up gnome to auto login and autostart the vnc desktop feature [02:31] how can i find out if a crontab job ran? [02:32] by vncserver you mean package x11vnc? [02:32] or is there a way i can setup some sort of email reporting? [02:32] Ali_nz1: for what [02:32] pikeshouse88: theres a dozen vncservers you can use - I tend to use 'vnc4server' [02:32] hello -- is ext4 much better than ext3? I'm installing ubuntu with a home and root partition, and I'm wondering if I should make /home ext4 or leave it as ext3 [02:33] Faye: people have different opinions about that [02:33] Faye, I've never really experienced much difference. = / [02:33] Faye: in some cases, ext4 is slower than ext3 [02:33] i heard vnc4server doesnt show your whole workspace [02:33] blakkheim: a find command in crontab with -exec rm switch [02:34] Faye: one thing to consider is that if you create an ext3 partition, you can always mount it as ext4 if you want [02:34] Faye, blakkheim took the words out of my mouth. I was going to comment that ext3 is a bit faster and maybe more stable. [02:34] Ali_nz1: you could have it send the output of a command to your email if that's what you mean [02:34] ok, in that case I'll leave it as ext3. Thank you! [02:34] blakkheim: that would work. how do i do it? [02:34] Ali_nz1: ssmtp+mailx is what i use, but there are other ways [02:35] Ali_nz1: run the same find command minus the -exec rm switch and see if it finds anything. [02:35] blakkheim: is that a plugin? [02:35] Ali_nz1: mailx and ssmtp are both packages in ubuntu that you will need to install and configure if you want to do it that way. [02:36] can anybody tell my when i right click on "#ubuntu" in the pidgin buddy list window to try to "join" # ubuntu i get the error msg "Error joining chat #ubuntu@irc.ubuntu.com/faron [02:36] 404: Remote Server Not Found" but when i type "/join # ubuntu" in nickserv it seems to work just fine ? [02:37] hi [02:37] hi [02:37] how can i install KDE additionalle besides gnome, so that i can choose it at startup? [02:37] i remember something like apt-get install kubuntu. but he doesnt know this [02:37] pw-toxic_: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [02:37] is there a method via apt or dpkg where you can have it verify the state of installed files via md5 or something, vmware installer broke all the perl 5.10 libs [02:38] Okay can someone help on this video driver [02:38] ardchoille, lol now i remember it. Thanks! [02:38] faron: #ubuntu@irc.ubuntu.com/faron < is that the name you give it¿¿ i only have #ubuntu in the configuration [02:38] Hi, what is the room for google summer of code [02:38] pw-toxic_: haha [02:38] manas: i'd bet #gsoc [02:39] sorry not sure exactly what you mean [02:39] ardchoille, i have bought a new laptop.. is it possible to clone my old desktop? style etc easlily? [02:39] !clone | pw-toxic_ [02:39] pw-toxic_: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [02:39] ahhhhhh wait........... [02:39] !automate > pw-toxic_ [02:39] pw-toxic_, please see my private message [02:40] Do you guys know if windbind is nessesary for printer sharing? [02:40] ardchoille, is this command able to handle the chance of architecture? my old laptop is 32bit and my new one 6 bit? [02:40] I need some help installing Ubuntu 9.10, it won't boot from a livecd on a very old desktop (1.1 Ghz, probably p3) [02:40] pw-toxic_: oh, don't know about that [02:40] the error it gave was /init: line 1: can't open /dev/sr1: No medium found [02:40] pw-toxic_: better find out before you go running those [02:40] I just tried Fedora 9, 10, 11, 12 live cds, and none of those would boot either :P [02:40] ardchoille, well i just try it.. i have no problem with reinstalling everything [02:42] i have a pc with a hdmi port built into MB, will ubuntu detect that? [02:42] or how can i check before i start installing? [02:42] IMTheNachoMan: run the live cd and see if it works [02:42] humm [02:42] k [02:42] Izinucs: what if the livecd won't boot? [02:42] no other option? [02:43] i am still waiting for the MB to arrive and doing research right now. so comp is not built yet [02:43] Nushio: then you have to work that issue out.. may by turning off acpi.. or other solution [02:44] hmm, guess its time to undust the old boot parameter list [02:44] at least ubuntu shows the booting logo [02:44] IMTheNachoMan: It really depends on the chipset video card etc.. to many variables to guess at [02:44] GF9300-A-E - Nvidia GeForce 9300 [02:44] fedoras 9-12 fail 5 secs after i select "boot from livecd" [02:44] Nushio: you having problems getting the live cd to boot? [02:45] Izinucs: yes, on a very old desktop [02:45] the error it gave me on ubuntu was /init: line 1: can't open /dev/sr1: No medium found [02:45] so I just unplugged the secondary cd drive [02:46] Nushio: I wonder what sr1 is.. do you have more than one monitor hooked up? [02:46] just one monitor, actually [02:46] i'm quite surprised it refuses to boot 'n stuff [02:46] hmm [02:46] I think the secondary cd drive is damaged [02:46] What is /dev/sr1? [02:46] unplugging it got it to boot [02:46] Nushio: :) [02:46] OKAY guys I have the terminal open and I typed in sudo/etc/init.d/?dm restart and got error [02:46] Srayahu: according to google? could be a cd rom drive [02:47] in my case, I have 2, a dvd and a cd rom drive (as I said, very old desktop :P) [02:47] is it possible to use my media buttons with web based flash video? [02:47] Nushio, What's your boot order in BIOS? [02:47] randomusr: never seen it work that way. [02:47] Srayahu: dvdrom-harddrive-floppy [02:47] john__: someone told you how to fix that a long time ago: sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart # where ?is a g or a k depending on which display manager tyou are using [02:47] sudo/etc/init.d/?dm: No such file or directory [02:47] (it has floppy :P) [02:48] john__: for starters theres a SPACE btweek sudo and /etc [02:48] Nushio, and you've got the Ubuntu LiveCD in DVDrom? [02:48] Srayahu: is that wrong? [02:48] Ok thank like I said this is my first time on linux system [02:48] john__: and if you want to restart gdm use 'sudo service gdm restart' or use 'stop' or 'start' [02:48] Nushio, no - but I want to cover all our bases. [02:48] hi all. i'm using the "pencil" animation package, but when i draw, there are lots of artifacts in the area of my cursor. how can i toggle hardware accelerated compositing? i want to see if that will help [02:48] john__: i mentioned the SPACE thing a while back. [02:48] yes, I put cd on a dvd reader, not dvd on the cd reader [02:48] Has anyone heard whether blu-ray support will improve? [02:48] Nushio, did you do a checksum of the CD? [02:49] john__: why/what are you trying to do with GDM anyway? [02:49] Dr_Willis: thank you for mentioning the "service", I keep forgetting about it [02:49] randomusr: it will... just time is all it takes [02:49] randomusr, everything eventually improves, especially in Linux. [02:49] Srayahu: the cd rom is fine, why does everyone always suggest starting there? >_< [02:49] It booted on my laptop [02:49] Nushio, because we get that a lot. [02:49] ardchoille: yep. :) since /etc/init.d/gdm may not even exist in the next release. :) [02:49] ok what I want to do Is change my 800x600 top something bigger all it gives me is 800x600 or lower [02:49] So it starts to boot, then crashes? [02:49] ah,ok [02:49] so i am using ubuntu, and i am xfering files over from my xp pc to my lin box using samba4, well, samba4 is locking the files when they come to the lin box, so i cannot modify or cut/paste them or anything, how can i force samba to free the permissions up, and still have file sharing?... the file permissions cannot be changed with root... [02:49] john__: what kind of video card do you have? [02:50] I just hope that the industry execs realize how important that is. As media support improves, I suspect linux adoption will go up exponentially [02:50] sixofour, did you try chown? [02:50] awesome, gonna install ubuntu now [02:50] that was quick, hah [02:50] I have a older video card a vodoo 3dfx card [02:50] ardchoille: seems /etc/init.d/gdm is now a link to '/lib/init/upstart-job' in 10.04 :) [02:50] no, i don't want to break samba, so i am trying alternatives first [02:50] Srayahu: [02:50] Dr_Willis: are they moving away from sysvinit ? [02:50] john__: and what is star/stoping/restarting gdm having to do with this [02:51] ardchoille: they allready have. theres just a few traces of SysV left. [02:51] sixofour, I meant on the incoming files. [02:51] ah,ok === jesse is now known as jesse2 [02:51] I don't know much about Samba. = / [02:51] ardchoille: and it seems they did things to still let the old habbits still work. :) [02:51] brjann, an update on my plight with gnome. [02:51] john__: open System>Admin>Synaptic package manager and search for voodo and see if there is a driver listed that's available.. then install if it's not already installed. [02:51] nice [02:51] weird question.... has anyone managed to get Facebook chat working with empathy? the synaptic description says it supports facebook, but i cant add a facebook account [02:51] any 3dfx card is so old.. its amazing it still works. :) [02:51] Srayahu: well the "reviced" folder is locked, and everything in it, if i take ownership, my winxp machine might not be able to modify them either, also, its huge geebees of data, not a few jpgs :P [02:52] jesse2: might be a plugin available in the repos [02:52] how is HDMI support in linux/ubuntu? [02:52] Okay I will look [02:52] !3dfx [02:52] Dr_Willis: so now it's "sudo service blah start|stop|restart" ? [02:52] jesse2, you don't need a plugin anymore -- facebook has switched to jabber - many instructions on net for it [02:52] oh! thanks [02:52] i'll just make a jabber account then [02:52] ardchoille: thats the proper way. The service command has been around for the last 2+ releases at least [02:52] Srayahu: 50gb [02:52] ok [02:52] any good security tools for ubuntu ? [02:52] sixofour, I see. You're trying to maintain function between both machines. >_> Ignore me... [02:52] claws_: more than you can count [02:52] how can i toggle hardware accelerated window composition? [02:52] claws_: depends on what you need. [02:52] Be back soon [02:52] Srayahu: yes, also, some files are not working, [02:53] does linux have a file character name limit? [02:53] No driver to found [02:53] file name character limit* [02:53] brjann, There is a file called ~/.configure/monitors.xml that contains the resolution gnome will use. Mine had the wrong resolution. After deleting the file, gnome started working again. Kudos to the folks on #gnome. [02:53] sixofour: if it does.. its real real real real high. :) [02:53] sixofour: not sure but it doesn't like spaces.. use underscores [02:53] sixofour, there is PATH_MAX [02:53] Dr_Willis: gr8.. i wil try some out :) [02:53] ops [02:53] Dr_Willis: internet security pack [02:53] spaces in file names can cause headaches. Best to use Understores if you Must do such things [02:53] Izinucs: well, about 300,000 files have spaces in them [02:54] claws_: that means very little. sounds like a buzzword/marketing term more then anything else. [02:54] in about 30 directoriy trees [02:54] sixofour: oops. you can still access them.. it just at the command like that you have to use a little different syntax [02:54] sixofour: be carefull when doing scripts and command line with spaces in names. It can be a bother. [02:54] well I think I will have to find a newer card then I have a nvida card but I do not think it will work on this MB [02:54] i just want to cut/paste what is already transferede, since i have to do multiple transfers [02:55] sixofour: most file managers handle them fine. Its when you get to the command line they can cause issues. [02:55] i can copypaste, but i don't know if i have enough hd space [02:55] sixofour, wherever there is a space you have to use a backslash in front of it. [02:55] sixofour: transfers of what? files? entire directories? [02:55] sixofour, don't listen to Izinucs, spaces in filenames are fine. [02:55] i have a folder, in it is about 30 files and files, those folders have multiple folders in them aswell [02:56] Dr_Willis: well... let me say it this way.. AntiV and Firewall. and if there is a good 2 in 1 tool... i whould be gr8ful to know [02:56] hi. a real linux noob here. installed ubuntu on my vaio laptop. seems to work great, but doesn't see/recognize my built-in SD card reader. i did some searching on forums, but a lot of it is way above my head. any advice where to start? [02:56] folders* [02:56] hdon: sixofour didn't say they weren't fine.. just that accessing is different [02:56] claws_: dont expect 'all in one tools' each tool tends to be set for a specific task. There are Firewall front ends.. and there are AV software [02:56] !firewall | claws_ [02:56] claws_: 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 [02:56] Izinucs, what you said is irrelevant :\ [02:57] claws_: i have little need for a firewall on my linux box's - and even LESS need for antivirus software. Unless i want to scan windows binaries befor i put them on a windows box. [02:57] where to look for syslog about last crash info? [02:57] claws_: linux is 'not' windows. and such common things that windows needs. Just dont apply most of the time in linux. [02:57] antivirus software for linux... lulwut? [02:58] sixofour: it exists. [02:58] I need help with VNC client [02:58] hdon: irrelevant? that accessing, copying etc from cli is different with files containing spaces? I think not [02:58] clamav, and avg both have linux av tools. and proberly some more i cant think of [02:58] AC0112358: what's up? [02:58] so i am using ubuntu, and i am xfering files over from my xp pc to my lin box using samba4, well, samba4 is locking the files when they come to the lin box, so i cannot modify or cut/paste them or anything, how can i force samba to free the permissions up, and still have file sharing?... the file permissions cannot be changed with root... [02:58] ARC0112358: what's up? [02:59] I can see remote desktop , and control it if I watch remote monitor, but client cant see menus [02:59] About how long does the alternate ubuntu install take? [02:59] If I know what I want for all the options... [02:59] install depends on hd speed right? [02:59] sixofour: the smb config file can set the default permissions for the files. Unless you used that user 'right click to share' feature. Not sure how you change those. [02:59] belak, maybe 20 minutes or less depending on hardware [02:59] ARC0112358: what are the two OS' involved? [02:59] client wont display pulldowns - its like its not refreshing at client [02:59] ubuntu 91 on both [02:59] 9.10 === willy is now known as Guest74169 [02:59] how do i config smb though? [02:59] coz_: thanks [03:00] Dr_Willis: good to know :) i have heard of the good security in linux... this is my 5 day on linux.. i have noticed there are big diff between ms and linux. [03:00] how do i config smb though? Dr_Willis [03:00] claws_: just remember, the user is the weakest link in any OS [03:00] sixofour: i always edit the /etc/samba/smb.conf file - but ive read the docs and have done samba by hand for years. :) [03:00] ARC0112358: uninstall VNC on both, update both systems with update manager and re-install VNC. That worked for me [03:00] is there no gui or command line atleast? [03:00] hi, where to look for info of the last crash? [03:01] sixofour: i tend to just set up the HOME shares so all users have their home dir shared. I dont use 'user created' shares much [03:01] Which program are you using? [03:01] ardchoille : i will :) [03:01] dsnyders: I have never heard of that file before in my life :D [03:01] tiger_: what crashed? [03:01] tiger_: perhaps in /var/log [03:01] !info samba-doc | sixofour [03:01] sixofour: samba-doc (source: samba): Samba documentation. In component main, is optional. Version 2:3.4.0-3ubuntu5.4 (karmic), package size 7813 kB, installed size 16080 kB [03:01] well i have to go, i'll figure this out in awhile [03:01] sixofour: theres proberly some gui tools.. but i dont use them. and i dont know how they mesh with the 'user share' feature' [03:01] dsnyders: but I'm glad to hear you got it working! I'll remember that for next time. and/or will just send people to #gnome. ;) [03:01] belak: system crash, shutdow.... [03:02] Hm... [03:02] ARC0112358: VINO and VINAGRE [03:02] Dr_Willis: shouldn't smbfs pretty much cover sixofour for network fileshare? [03:02] Is that two programs or a server and a client [03:02] ? [03:02] Yes [03:02] OK [03:02] !info smbfs [03:02] smbfs (source: samba): Samba file system utilities. In component main, is optional. Version 2:3.4.0-3ubuntu5.4 (karmic), package size 1796 kB, installed size 5272 kB [03:02] Thanks! [03:02] ARC0112358: You could also try TIGERVNC [03:02] will someone please help me, when I try to go into ubuntu from grub it says error: you need to load the kernal first [03:02] Izinucs: he stillneeds samba set up properly. [03:02] I'll check it out [03:02] Dr_Willis: k.. just wondering [03:03] samba can set default modes on files that get copied over to various shares. customizeable on a per share basis [03:03] I just upgraded to Ubuntu 9.10, but I still cant put my desktop to 1440x900 reso to fit my monitor. Itś stuck on 1024x768, and im using the Nvidia drivers [03:03] how to fix this? [03:03] can anyone read this? [03:03] brjann, the #gnome folks had me fixed up in two posts. [03:03] Holman_, yup [03:03] Iceman_B: you might try nvidia-xconfig or nvidia-settings [03:04] dsnyders: now you're just making me feel bad. :) [03:04] is there a weather plugin for COMPIZ? Like Live weather? [03:04] okay thanks, when I try to load ubuntu I get error: you need to load the kernel first [03:04] Izinucs, nvidia-xconfig returns errors, trying -settings now... [03:04] randomusr: there's one you can add to the top bar.. right mouse click and choose add.. you'll find it. [03:05] does anyone know what I should do? I have a lot of important stuff that I don't want to lose [03:05] Iceman_B: have you activated the nvidia drivers? [03:05] when i compile with gcc, using the standard profiler option (-pg) and after i run my program, i get no gmon.out as expected. is this something ubuntu has disabled, like core dumps? [03:05] randomusr: you are looking for a screenlet/widget/whatever is called [03:05] brjann, Not to worry. I'm sure those #gnome people would die to know some of the things I've seen you walk other people through. [03:05] Izinucs, yes, I have. and the widget that comes up says CRT-1, and I cant change anything. changing the reso only makes the desktop larger [03:06] not the display itself :/ [03:06] can anyone direct me to a chat where I might get some help? [03:06] any advice on a built-in card reader that's not working? is there a device manager or something where i could search for the hardware? [03:06] Iceman_B: you hooked to a tv/monitor? [03:06] dsnyders: aw, thanks. :) [03:06] !ask | Holman_ [03:06] Holman_: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [03:06] Izinucs, nope, Acer AL1916W lcd widescreen [03:07] dninja: works fine for me with a simple int main() { return 0; } program [03:07] Iceman_B: which driver and what card do you have? [03:07] Holman_: google [03:07] Izinucs, Nvidia driver 185.18.36, gfx card is a GF6800 LE [03:07] when I try to load ubuntu from grub it says "error: you need to load the kernel first" [03:08] Iceman_B: is there a 173 driver also available? [03:08] Holman_: do you uninstalled something¿¿ [03:08] I think so, lemme check [03:08] brjann, do you know if linking to libraries breaks -pg? [03:08] Holman_: try an update-grub [03:08] http://muammar.me/blog/index.php?/archives/332-error-you-need-to-load-the-linux-kernel-first.html [03:08] deadlyninja: it shouldn't. give me a sec [03:09] Izinucs, yeah. I can choose between 173, 185(now actvd), and 96 [03:09] xangua, no I didn't uninstall anything, I was just working from blackbox and it started acting funny and then just froze up and now won't work === Guest74169 is now known as c4c1e5c5 [03:09] i cant install flash player [03:09] how can I update grub, can I do that from windows? [03:10] wizard00: open software center ;) [03:10] im on ubumtu 5.10. [03:10] Iceman_B: try the 173 and see what happens.. also in cli type xrandr and see if the resolution that you want comes up.. if it doesn't then you'll have to add the resolution to xrandr to make it work. [03:10] i have an analog stereo output but sound is very low, sounds muffled, lookng for suggestions on improving sound quality [03:10] Holman_: Oh, wait... ehh... I suppose not... [03:10] that doesnt have software center. [03:10] Izinucs, okay, Iĺl try both tips [03:10] brb [03:10] Iceman_B: do the 2nd first [03:10] Holman_: when you boot, edit the line for booting and change the line with "root" in it to remove the /dev [03:11] That probably makes no sense [03:11] ok [03:11] Hello i am having trouble locating a file i downloaded via terminal, I downloaded and extracted a UFI2ISO program and when i converted the file to iso i cant find it. I followed instructions from this site http://www.nirmaltv.com/2008/06/14/how-to-convert-uif-files-to-iso-format-in-ubuntu/ and did nothing other than what it said if someone could please help me it would be much appreciated [03:11] xangua, Yes I want a weather widget [03:11] for Compiz [03:11] deadlyninja: just tested with a program linked against four libraries, still got a gmon.out [03:11] Izinucs, 1440x900 63.0 <-- that comes up in the last line [03:11] can someone please help mr figure out how to install adobe flash player???? [03:11] Iceman_B: I've forgotten.. is that what you want? [03:11] yes [03:12] deadlyninja: and this time it was a real program :) [03:12] Iceman_B: I'll have ubottu send you a link .. it might help. [03:12] alright [03:12] does anyone else ever have issues with full-screened graphical programs arbitrarily switching between full screen and windowed mode? (and freezing up in the process?) [03:12] !resolution > Iceman_B [03:12] Iceman_B, please see my private message [03:12] brjann, well this is odd, im using gcc v4.4.1 (Ubuntu 4.4.1-4ubuntu9) [03:13] deadlyninja: are you compiling and linking with the same command? e.g. gcc -pg foo.c -ofoo ? [03:13] how do i install flash player?? [03:13] !resolution > Hebram [03:13] Hebram, please see my private message [03:13] wizard00: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [03:14] Dr_Willis: btw... thx for the link's :) [03:14] tried that. said i didnt have the file [03:14] wizard00: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [03:14] sorry brjann, my network is broken tonight, missed what you said [03:14] brjann, im compiling .o files [03:14] brjann, and linking them at the end [03:14] wizard00: then you have to restart firefox [03:15] dninja: are you both compiling and linking with the -pg flag? [03:15] yes [03:15] brjann, http://codepad.org/1W3kwvmC [03:15] above question on muffled audio really meant- is there a software fix or do i just have crappy internal speakers [03:16] dninja: okay, that all looks good. only other thing I can think of is that your program is exiting abnormally, before it can write the gprof file [03:16] brjann, well im getting to EXIT_SUCCESS [03:17] hings working :(( im goingback to windows xp!!! ubuntu isnt user friendly at all :'( [03:17] I cant find the following option: I want a window to be maximized, if i double click it - any hints? [03:17] May i get some help please :) [03:17] i am executing some processes from my process, so maybe thats screwing it up somehow [03:17] wizard00, have a good time removing spyware :) [03:17] furthermore, im looking for a snapping windows like in windows 7.. if i drag a window to the top, i want it maximized [03:17] !ask | detective_ [03:17] detective_: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [03:17] ok [03:17] thats true......ubuntu doesnt get viruses does it?? [03:18] nope. [03:18] dninja: the internet says: "Make sure that your program exits with a call to exit library function or with a return statement in your main function" [03:18] how can i learn how to get better with ubuntu?? [03:18] but, ubuntu is not for the kind of person who isn't willing to spend a little time learning how to do something... [03:18] it takes practice?? [03:18] everything does. [03:18] dninja: perhaps a dumb question, but you do have write permission in your working directory, right? :) [03:19] brjann, yeah i do [03:19] but, it takes thinking about things in a different way, and sometimes googling for answers [03:19] eergh, using xrandr to set 1440x900 mode again streched my desktop, but not actuially the resolution >_< [03:19] but its so hard. and my distro that i have is outdated so i canr download software from the software center [03:19] brjann, i feel stupid though cause i figured it out [03:19] can i use [03:19] brjann, my program changes the working directory, so the gmon.out went into the working dir [03:19] adobe photoshop on ubuntu [03:19] ? [03:19] I need help finding a file that i have downloaded via terminal(is that better?) [03:19] talntid: i disagree with you there [03:19] ill try reverting to the 173 driver [03:19] bbl [03:19] donvito, there is a cracked version of photoshop [03:19] CS2 [03:19] it works with wine [03:19] whats wine [03:20] i didnt get my original CS4 working until today [03:20] !wine > donvito [03:20] donvito, please see my private message [03:20] dninja: hehe, glad to hear it :) no worries! [03:20] donvito, wine is a windows emulator [03:20] wizard00, even if your distro is outdated, if you show us the real errors it is giving, as opposed to "it doesn't work" -- we can help better [03:20] blakkheim, about what? [03:20] pw-toxic_: wine is not an emulator [03:20] talntid: ubuntu needing time to learn [03:20] ok brb! :) [03:20] blakkheim, what then? [03:20] brjann, thanks though, you helped [03:20] pw-toxic_: windows api layer [03:20] dninja: no problem! [03:20] donvito, if you are a professionall designer, i think you should use windows for working on a design ;( [03:21] blakkheim, yes and therfore it emulates windows?! [03:21] blakkheim, that's silly. are you saying you know everything there is to know about ubuntu, and you just knew it when you were born? [03:21] pw-toxic_ it is a wrapper that allows you to use windows programs, an emulator pretends to be a cpu etc [03:21] blakkheim, it makes the program feel beeing windows [03:21] This program is currently not installable, but should be available in the 'universe' repository. Would you like to enable this repository? (it keeps saying that) [03:21] talntid: i'm saying ubuntu is extremely easy to learn to use, even if you've never used linux. it hides the real os and puts up a shiny gui for newbies to use [03:21] dns53, emulators do not have to be on a CPU basis.. you can also emulate a child or an animal [03:22] donvito, what do you need photoshop for? [03:22] finally managed to fix my corrupted filesystem... but the whole /usr folder got trashed in the process [03:22] blakkheim, then you just said my point. you do need to learn it though. I didn't say it was hard to learn, did i? :) [03:22] Does anyone know why a HP webcam-50 wouldnt work on blogtv but would on stickam? [03:22] wizard00, did you tell it "yes, enable it!" (or something like that?) [03:22] idk. ill try [03:22] wizard00: then enable the repository :S [03:22] talntid: "ubuntu is not for the kind of person who isn't willing to spend a little time learning" is what you said [03:23] talntid: that's where i disagreed [03:23] I have another question: I remember having used a backup tool for ubuntu, which can save the diffs from several other backups.. i dont remember the name of it [03:23] i found it in a package of usefull ubuntu tools [03:23] pw-toxic_: rsync? [03:23] 'computers are not for the kind of people who isent willing to spend a little timne learning' [03:23] right, a little time. meaning they can't just jump in and use it 100% productively without any learning...

[03:23] wizard00: breezy isn't supported anymore [03:23] blakkheim, rsync is a command line tool - i'm talking of a gui [03:24] ok, wizard00, you are using breezy badger. go get karmic koala :) [03:24] pw-toxic_: you don't really need a gui for that, but there are rsync guis available.. [03:24] aka 9.10 [03:24] wizard00: you need to change teh us.archive.ubuntu to point to some archive/out-of-date-storage server. [03:24] blakkheim, i guess the tool uses rsync [03:24] pw-toxic_: I've been using backintime for the last few months [03:24] blakkheim, rsync is just too complicated to manage a bigger amount of backups [03:24] brjann, i remember this name - i think it was this. Ill check this out. Thanks [03:24] Could anyone tell me how to get drivers for a webcam so it will work on blogTV [03:24] ? [03:25] pw-toxic_: you're welcome :) [03:25] pw-toxic_: i use it for fairly large backups on multiple systems and don't find it complicated [03:25] kassykillerface: if it works for one flash based web site. but not another.. then its some issue with that sites flash programming - most likely [03:25] pw-toxic_: is there something you prefer over it? [03:25] blakkheim, its not about the size of the backup, but the amount of several different backups and how to manage them [03:25] blakkheim, i just cant remember simple commands that i only use times a year [03:26] I'm running normal ubuntu on a netbook. Could that have anything to do with it? [03:26] !info unison [03:26] unison (source: unison): A file-synchronization tool for Unix and Windows. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.27.57-2ubuntu1 (karmic), package size 522 kB, installed size 1236 kB [03:26] kassykillerface: if its on a web site using flash.. and the web cam does work in 'cheese' or other apps. then its a site/flash issue [03:26] Alright. [03:26] brjann, do you know how i can install it? i cant find that package === jesse2 is now known as atomik [03:27] pw-toxic_: yes, the packages are backintime-gnome or backintime-kde, depending on your desktop environment [03:27] is there a way i can change the default ubuntu icon? (ie the circular icon that sits in the top-left corner? [03:27] is it an image file i can swap out with another? [03:28] atomik: yes. Theres ways. But some ways dont work - depending on what icon theme you are using. [03:28] oh, i see [03:28] brjann, i just found in the internet, that by 9.04 backinetime is not in the standard repository - so i have to install it manually [03:28] !pdf [03:28] pdf is the Portable Document Format created by Adobe; viewable in GNU/Linux with xpdf/kpdf/okular/evince, and also adobe reader (free download, but closed source) [03:28] brjann, and i'm afraid of updating my router ;) [03:28] atomik: you can use the 'ubuntu-tweak' tool to change it. and its just a few clicks. but SOME icon themes dont work properly with the change. [03:28] pw-toxic_: ah, okay. gotcha :) [03:28] thanks dr willis, i'll give that a try [03:28] atomik: or select a theme. and rename it. copy it to .themes and change what you want [03:28] I know you guys are busy but i really need some help :( with finding a file that i downloaded in the terminal [03:29] pw-toxic_: when I was using jaunty I used the deb from their website, too. seemed to work fine [03:29] detective_: downloaded with what command exactly? [03:29] detective_, telling us you need help won't get you help. Asking a specific question will.

[03:31] has anyone else had problems with their mouse disappearing after installing the ati catalyst? [03:33] Dr_Willis, i tryed those commands and nothing happened [03:33] detective_: the updatedb command should of taken some time to complete. if locate then did not find it. Then you downloaded it to some directory/location that locate does not 'index' such as /media/SOMTHING [03:34] brjann, yes this is the program i was looking for [03:34] detective_: check your 'history' log and see where you were at.. or just redownload the file [03:34] pw-toxic_: glad to hear it! [03:34] brjann, maybe you can answer me some additional questsions: how do you use this program? do you use auto backups? [03:34] brjann, do you backup everything or only important data? [03:34] brjann, where to do you place the backup.. external HDD.. ?! [03:35] no one talks? [03:36] pw-toxic_: I've set it up so that my Documents/ directory is scanned every five minutes, and all the snapshots are just saved in my home directory somewhere. [03:36] nonameNN, this is a support channel ; chat in #ubuntu-offtopic [03:36] nonameNN: Hmm? [03:36] brjann, how big is your documents folder? [03:36] bazhang: thanks [03:36] brjann, the folders i back up are several GB and have more than 100k of files [03:36] brjann, i'm webdeveloper and i have LOTS of small files [03:36] and some bigger from design [03:37] pw-toxic_: That shouldn't be a problem; backintime uses rsync under the hood [03:37] brjann, so its no problem if there is a BIG folder where only a small part of it changes [03:37] hmm [03:37] and if it makes 3 backups [03:37] can i access all 3 of it? [03:37] pw-toxic_: nope, no problem at all. it will only copy the diffs. [03:38] pw-toxic_: yes. on the left hand side of the window, you can see the snapshots you've taken, and view each of them as if they're actual folders. [03:38] brjann, sounds really cool.. i think i use the automatic one [03:38] is there a package that will ask me if i want to mount a cd/dvd and show the hidden files? [03:38] i think i will also backup my 40GB music folder ;) [03:39] fadaken: what hidden files? in linux files starting with a . are [03:39] fadaken: what hidden files? in linux files starting with a . are 'hidden' by the file manager as an option. [03:39] i'm trying to install a windows application [03:39] pw-toxic_: the user's manual is pretty good, and explains all the features very well. [03:40] fadaken: so - its some how hidden? [03:40] brjann, which i can find where? [03:40] since 9.10 came out, i've been having issues with 2D graphics (scroll, video, moving windows) being choppy, but 3D is fine. I'm using fglrx for ati 4850; i've tried all drivers from 9.4 to 10.2, no improvement. what can i do besides downgrading to ubuntu 9.04 or using radeon drivers from xorg-edger's ppa? [03:40] pw-toxic_: launch the program and click the question mark at the top of the window [03:40] D3RGPS31: don't buy from ati, enemy of your freedom [03:40] Houston we got a problem :) - I have used partimage to backup an entire system and I was almost to restore it - however the initial system has a bigger hard disk than the one I restore to - though it was very little used - the partimage tells me that it cannot restore the partition from image file because dthe destination hard disk is smaller than the original - any suggestions to bypass this ? [03:40] hey folks! [03:40] brjann, thx [03:40] blakkeim: i've considered buying nvidia, but i'm too poor to buy anything rite now [03:40] pw-toxic_: no problem :) [03:41] well i tried to follow a guild on installing World of warcraft and i've been failing very badly [03:41] I'm having some trouble getting the ODBC connector working on Linux. I'm using unixODBC with the mysql 5.1 ODBC driver, but I get the following error message: Data source name not found and no default driver specified [03:41] does anyone have any helpful hints? :3 [03:41] acu: the partimage FAQ says no, restoring to smaller partitions isn't supported. sorry :( [03:42] any |-|@ brjann, if i'm annoying just dont answer: i found an autoremove: smart remove option. Sounds cool. Do you use it? [03:43] any |-|@ any hackerz ?? [03:43] D3RGPS31: dont buy ATI, at least not right now, I got a 5870 and I have had nothing but problems with the current drivers [03:43] pw-toxic_: I do, yes [03:43] anyone know anything about odbc connectors? [03:43] any hackerz ?? [03:44] Dusty_: A little [03:44] joineric: so, no real help :/ [03:44] I just need help getting mine setup ): [03:44] hi i would like to setup a remote kvm for my ubuntu desktop can any one give me some tips please [03:44] I cant get the environ variables set I dont think [03:44] pw-toxic_: and don't worry about being annoying, we're here to help :) [03:44] Zane: http://synergy2.sourceforge.net/ [03:44] Dusty_: What are you trying to do specifically, and what's happening? [03:44] zane: also try http://code.google.com/p/synergy-plus/ [03:44] brjann, i'm just wondering if i should use that.. because i have a fileserver with 5TB here [03:45] D3RGPS31: I'm trying to get help myself, every time I install the catalyst and driver my mouse disappears [03:45] Dusty_, thanks [03:45] i've run into the same thing [03:45] pw-toxic_: it really depends on how often you're going to take snapshots. you don't want to have to scroll through 10000 snapshots just to get to last month, do you? :) [03:45] dj_segfault: well, I have a VB6 application running in WINE. It uses an ODBC connector, and I'm hooking unixODBC into wine's builtin ODBC manager, but I cant configure the basics of unixODBC right. Dno how to. [03:45] brjann, one per day [03:45] Is there a command to verify the files in a package? I installed mythexport, but the file /etc/apache2/sites-available/mythexport.conf does not exist on my system. [03:45] zane: no problem. [03:46] any hackerz here ???/ [03:46] brjann, i make backups for hardware failures - not for human failures [03:46] any quick and easy tutorial about sharing files over a network with windows and linux pc's? [03:46] any hackers here ??? [03:46] main pc with the files is running ubuntu [03:46] pw-toxic_: then you probably don't have anything to worry about. if you feel like you've got too many old snapshots, you can always turn on smart remove [03:46] Dusty_: Ouch. Getting wine involved is beyond me. Sorry. [03:46] karma_police: that's real easy, use samba [03:46] !offtopic | shiverz [03:46] shiverz: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [03:47] brjann, so you turn on smart remove so that you get a good overview of your snapshots - not for space reasons? [03:47] k thnks [03:47] i have dl samba.. what next? no GUI? [03:47] dj_segfault: well I figure it's jsut a really basic configuration error not even dealing with wine. just setting the basics up for unixODBC [03:47] karma_police: it has a web interface, but this probably isn't the channel for questions about samba [03:48] Take a computer that have 2 network card. the main OS (ubuntu server) is connected to the local network using eth0, can a VM use the other card (eth1) and that card would be connected to another network? [03:48] pw-toxic_: yes, more or less. For keeping histories of documents and such, I usually want to have a couple of backups of recent work, plus some historical backups just in case. [03:48] ok. is there a samba channel? [03:48] or tutorial? [03:48] karma_police: dunno, try it... and also search for one as they might be on a different irc network [03:48] karma_police: samba has 10000's of docs and guides and tutorial web pages [03:49] !info samba-doc | karma_police [03:49] karma_police: samba-doc (source: samba): Samba documentation.

[03:50] *script [03:50] nbren: it means do A then do B then do C [03:50] iok [03:50] nbren: 'A B C' (a followed by B, followed by C' :) [03:50] thanks [03:50] game onlain [03:50] nbren: there are ubuntu channels in a number of different languages, if you'd feel more comfortable [03:51] looking for a solution to manage flip camera files on ubuntu [03:51] whenever i reboot i have to manually mount my hdd and start my firewall.. is there a startup manager that can handle this? [03:51] karma_police: man fstab for the hdd mounting [03:51] coop: Doesn't it just look like a USB hard drive to Ubuntu? [03:51] karma_police: your firewall should start as a daemon without you doing anything [03:52] yes, but cant upload files w/o flipshare software [03:52] i have to select it from the applications list and it wants authentication [03:52] hey, I want to write a scrip to control amarok that is on playing on my server. is there somewhere where I can learn python quickly? [03:53] timyeung: i'm sure the folks in #python would know a few places :) [03:53] coop: Do you mean copy from the flip to your computer or from your computer to the flip? [03:53] timyeung, the matrix?

[03:54] i am constantly reminded of how much of a noob i really am === flea is now known as Guest47739 [03:54] dj_segfault: copying to hd works ok, but difficult to share with others [03:54] coop: Again, I thought it just appears as a USB hard drive you can drag files to and from. [03:54] #samba [03:55] coop: How would you like to share them with others? What exactly would you like to do? [03:55] dj_segfault: u can, that works! but once on hd cant upload them w/o share software [03:56] coop: I asked you what you mean by upload before. It's an ambiguous term. [03:56] karma_police: there's a command you can use to control startup services, but I can't remember it - maybe someone else can? [03:56] timyeung: http://docs.python.org/tutorial/ covers the basics you'll need for python and http://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=117&t=74202 shows you how to control it with dbus [03:56] Help please.

[03:56] Ubuntu is It !! [03:57] I truley luv it [03:57] sal_: How is that two feet of snow sitting on ya? [03:57] lol [03:57] I know it's probably a manner of adding a command to the alsa-base file, but i don't know what to add [03:57] PeskyJ: are you thinking of sysv-rc-conf? [03:57] pls dont remind me my back is still hurtin frm shovelin [03:57] dj_segfault sorry for being aloof, flip has an online service to share the videos w others, so in win/ac you plug camera in usb, proprietary software organizes and uploads to share service, that sofware isnt supported on lnux [03:57] googeek: Is it an HP? [03:58] brjann: don't think so, it's something like on|off [03:58] isn't the cffi darcs version stable? [03:58] dj_segfault: compaq, but for all intents and pourposes, yeah [03:59] coop: I understand now. I would just use youtube or one of it's hundreds of clones. If they set it up proprietary I'm not sure there's a way around that. [03:59] Hey there any one know a good video chat program that ...clones ooo voo [03:59] PeskyJ: yes, that's how sysv-rc-conf works. though it may go by different names, i suppose. i've seen update-rc.d also, but I can't remember if that was ubuntu [03:59] brjann: actually - I think I'm thinking of some command use din CentOS [04:00] googeek: I see that question all the time, and have tried to fix it myself. I know HP did a wonky thing and has separate outputs from the sound chip for headphones and speakers, instead of using the switch in the headphone jack. I have not heard of a solution myself. [04:01] dj_segfault : dammit. well, thanks anyway [04:01] googeek: At least you know it's not you. [04:01] dj_segfault : would i have better luck with a toshiba? [04:01] hello [04:02] googeek: I have only seen that problem with HP. [04:02] dj_segfault: well, yeah it makes me feel a little less crappy, I've tried three or four solutions already, none of them work at all [04:02] why is there no thunderbird 3 for ubuntu? [04:02] googeek: Trust me, I've walked people through playing with the mixer, etc. No go. [04:02] pw-toxic_: there may be a PPA or other unofficial repos for it [04:03] hi guys, I'm currently using the nvidia driver version 185, would there be any risk in upgrading to the 190 version? [04:03] dj_segfault : so, basically, I'm out of luck with this box if I want headphones? (which i totally need) [04:03] Dr_Willis, i'm sure there is, but i dont want to add unofficial ones ;( [04:03] phat : not that i know of, it made all my games work on my last system [04:03] anyone know the basics about settings up unixODBC? [04:03] googeek: There must be HP-specific forums someone might know on. [04:04] googeek: back with kernel version 2.6.20 at least some toshibas had the same problem. [04:04] so I have a Dell studio 1747 and I was wodering if anyone would be able to help me get the tuner card it's got working? [04:04] phat: shouldt be a risk... but why do yu want to upgrade if they already work? [04:04] dj_segfault : has anyone tried editing the actual alsa-base file? [04:04] phat, over the past week I've been monitoring this site there's been a large number of people with nvidia issues (myself included). My recommendation is that if it is working don't futz with it. [04:05] Hi all. I'm runnin a netbook with 9.10 netbook remix and want to delete icons on my desktop.... how do I do this? [04:05] googeek: Not to my knowledge. [04:05] brb:) [04:05] no one? [04:05] dsnyders: ya, it seems whenever I want to upgrade I get screwed. Still, I want to use CUDA and I've heard that it only works with driver version 190. Is that correct? [04:05] brjann : that's what I thought... I am just crossing my fingers they'll somehow fix it in lynx, since i don't want to return my brand-new-already-removed-windows-stickers box [04:06] do we have a softcam device like manycam? [04:06] trying to figure out how to enable alsa? cant tell whether my sound card supports it? what specific alsa item should i grab from synaptic [04:06] phat, I've got no idea. [04:06] aside from that, all graphics are working fine. [04:06] googeek: there are a couple of suggestions to use the lenovo model in alsa-base [04:06] softcam for ubuntu? [04:06] Is there any grammar check package in ubuntu [04:06] googeek: e.g., options snd-hda-intel model=lenovo [04:06] !grammar [04:07] dsnyders: ok thanks for the help. [04:07] dj_segfault: well, thanks for your help, I think I'll try editing that file a few more times in a few more ways, via the tutorial i found in the forums, and see if i can't get it to be nice [04:07] phat, it was more an expression of opinion than actual help. For all I know it will work fine. [04:07] googeek: If you find a solution PM me. Lots of people would like to know [04:07] googeek: check out the last 20 or so posts here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.20/+bug/109838 [04:09] googeek: some of that may be helpful. looks like it's been an ongoing thing for the last few years [04:09] brjann: Yeah, I tried a version of that fix, only imputing what I thought I should for my specifics, it was a no-go but maybe I'm just not doing things right, i'm still pretty much an uber noob to the world of linux. [04:09] Hello everyone, quick question. I'm using Ubuntu Server 9.10, have just installed it in a VM with two network interfaces (preparing it for deployment on ESXi). I need to tell apt-get to use eth1 instead of eth0, how would I do this? [04:09] when i issue lpay -l, reports Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: ALC662 rev1 - can i use ALSA with this card? [04:10] Hi all. I need something to be able to modify, delete, or see what icons point to on my desktop. 9.10 NBR [04:10] anyone have any info about CUDA? specifically, how to start developing with it on karmic? [04:10] brjann: the command I was thinking of is chkconfig - and does appear to be available in linux [04:10] brjann: I mean in ubuntu [04:10] PeskyJ: ah. not familiar with that one [04:11] Hi all! I'm having an issue with kpovmodeler. The views are not behaving properly. See: http://imagebin.org/85792 [04:11] Is anyone able to help me with getting apt-get to use eth1? [04:11] brjann: thanks for your help [04:11] (0) (0) looking for an Icon manipulator in ubuntu nbr:) [04:11] googeek: no problem, good luck :) [04:11] dsnyders, still haven't found a fix for that eh? hope tonight you find one. good luck man [04:12] Boots32M: gimp? [04:12] What does this mean?:* #python :Cannot join channel (+r) - you need to be identified with services [04:12] !register > timyeung [04:12] timyeung, please see my private message [04:12] dj_segfault, sounds good probably available from synaptec manager??? what exactly does it do though? [04:13] anyone have any info about CUDA? specifically, how to start developing with it on karmic? [04:13] stueh: You don't tell individual programs what ethernet device to use, you set up your routing so requests for IP addresses goes to the right card. [04:13] hi [04:13] the drivers, gcc version, etc. [04:13] brjann: easy and useful - worth a look :) [04:13] ZykoticK9, Nope. I've corrupted gnome, fouled up compiz, befuddled xwindows, and gotten them all straightened out again, but this issue still remains. [04:13] Boots32M: Full graphics editor like Photoshop. Very powerful, not very obvious. Like photoshop ;) [04:13] PeskyJ: next time i have a service that needs wrangling i will investigate! [04:13] dsnyders, lol - well at least your trying! [04:14] dj_segfault: I'm new to Ubuntu Server, any chance on some advice on hiw to do this? :) [04:14] Oh.... can I modify, delete and, or change the appearance of icons on my desktop with that??? [04:14] phat: is there anyone in #cuda? they might be able to help [04:14] stueh: What exactly do you want to do? [04:14] I'm probably going to get that anywy:) [04:14] phat: oops, sorry. #cuda [04:15] the settings in my ~/.Xdefaults are not loaded at start, I have to open it and save it, any one know why ? [04:15] there's a #cuda channel? awesome. [04:15] hey..i cant get my ubuntu to connect [04:15] i guess maybe my driver isnt working properly for the wifi.. its a ralink driver [04:15] ralink wifi.. anyway, it says its connected to my router, but i cant get internet on it [04:15] phat: yep, looks like it's got 47 people in it [04:16] nevermind.. it works now [04:16] justin22885: glad we could help! ;) [04:16] justin22885: ugh - wifi in linux, I've had major headaches trying to get different cards to work which usually end if me giving up... i.e. it either works out or the box or you're up for a lot of misery [04:16] stueh: Sorry, got your query mixed up with someone else. I would use firestarter to set up routing and firewall. Very user friendly [04:17] I'm using gdm. How do I make it so one of my users doesn't run gnome/kde, but instead just run an xterm. I tried putting xterm & in ~/.xinitrc, but that seems to be ignored. How do I go about this? [04:17] dj_segfault: Well, I'm installing fog imaging client on a fresh install of Ubuntu Server in a VM. Now, part of this, it uses apt-get. My network config is eth0 is an internal virtual network with no outside connection to the internet, eth1 is using eth1 on the host. Now, I have set eth0 to static, and eth1 is using dhcp. With eth0 turned off, I can use apt-get (aka run the ./install file, which uses apt-get as part of that), but I need eth0 [04:17] dj_segfault: That might have been a bit long, tell me where it cut off :) [04:18] When i move the mouse over the network icon of the gnome toolbar, it says that "Wireless Networks are disable". How can i enable them? I know here are a lot of wlan networks [04:18] pw-toxic_: click on that very same network icon and it will bring up a menu [04:19] pw-toxic_: right click it [04:19] and check activate network [04:19] that icon has a differnt menu on the left and right clicks - i belive [04:19] NCS_One, yes i did, but the entry with "enable wireless" is deactivates [04:20] thats a little confuseing :) [04:20] pw-toxic_: you dont have a switch on the machine to turn wireless on/off ? [04:20] stueh: It left off as "but i need eth0" but I get the idea. The idea is your routing table dictates what port to use to reach different networks. If you type "route -n" you will see what I mean. [04:20] Dr_Willis, no i dont have. Its a Lenovo Thinkpad edge [04:21] the settings in my ~/.Xdefaults are not loaded at start, I have to open it and save it, any one know why ? [04:21] Dr_Willis, i have previousvily installed ubuntu inside of windows, and there networking worked [04:21] pw-toxic_: sure theres not some special fn-keys? or some hidden switches? [04:21] Dr_Willis, now i am on a clean install of ubuntu [04:21] but I need eth0 turned on to run the install, as I need it to talk to another VM [04:21] Dr_Willis, oh . ill check this one. Good idea [04:21] dj_segfault: but I need eth0 turned on to run the install, as I need it to talk to another VM [04:21] pw-toxic_: ubuntu inside winows uses special TAP(?) devices wher its forwarding through the windows box :) so it not the same [04:22] pw-toxic_: on my netbook i had to boot to windows. use the switch to make SURE the wireles was on.. then reboted to windows. [04:22] Err... what's the deal with an update to sudo? [04:22] dj_segfault: Okay, now I get it [04:22] hi [04:22] the switch on it would turn wireless OFF but neve back on :) [04:22] hi, i'm using karmic on a desktop, whenever i leave the computer running for more than an hour it completely locks down and i cannnot 'bring it back to life', only hard reboot works, what do? [04:22] Dr_Willis, yes.. the switch button doesnt work on ubuntu ;( [04:22] ill start windows [04:22] Well would you look at that [04:22] pw-toxic_: there may be some tweaks to make it work. [04:22] stueh: You can have different cards going to different networks, and even the same card going to different networks, if your network physical topology is set up that way. But that routing table is the key, not your application. [04:23] The gateway for eth1 (aka the dhcp configured eth) is not in the list O.o [04:23] Remmaze is in THA HOUSE....!! [04:23] can you patch kernel headers or do you need the full source? [04:23] you have to have the source in order to have something to patch [04:24] itai: check the sistem > preferences > energy [04:25] ok next question whats the difference between linux-source and linuxs source final-union [04:25] NCS_One, ok, what excatly am i checking for? [04:25] itai: is it a laptop ? [04:25] NCS_One, no., desktop, also , i dont have 'energy' in system>pref [04:25] Zer: what do you mean? there was a security update released [04:26] itai: does it lock up when it's idle, or when you're using it? [04:26] brjann, idle [04:27] itai: i'd suspect one of three things: problems with power management (acpi), overheating, or bad memory [04:27] never mind figured it out [04:27] i have a small offtopic question.. im looking for cool wallpapers and themes.. is there an ubuntu like theme/wallpaper page? [04:27] brjann, brand new computer. so what do i do now? [04:28] pw-toxic_: gnome-look [04:28] hikenboot, do share [04:28] NCS_One, thx [04:28] pw-toxic_: gnome-look.org [04:28] brjann, i'll go acpi first, what do i check for? [04:28] pw-toxic_, /msg ubottu themes for links [04:28] anyone recommend a room for shell scripting? [04:28] itai: well, testing memory is probably easiest. in the ubuntu boot menu, there should be a memtest option. select that and let it run for a few hours (or overnight) [04:28] already found it by google gnome look ;) [04:28] pw-toxic_: thres also tools 'gnome-art' an 'gnome-artng' that can get papers from diff3ernt sites [04:28] stueh: Well THERE's your PROBLEM [04:28] maruku: #bash [04:29] awesome, ty [04:29] brjann, ok, will it fix it? [04:29] Dr_Willis, i just think that the colors of 9.10 look like shit.. this makes me really mad :D [04:29] where do I save xterm settings ? [04:29] the settings in my ~/.Xdefaults are not loaded at start, I have to open it and save it, any one know why ? [04:29] why is it that opengl programs tend to kill compiz? [04:29] dj_segfault: Yeah, it's a problem with the way I've set up the virtual network interface (aka the guest using a physical one on the host) >.> [04:30] Dr_Willis, enable wlan on windows helped - i now have wlan on ubuntu [04:30] dj_segfault: Thanks for the help! [04:30] Hi all! I'm having an issue with kpovmodeler. The views are not behaving properly. See: http://imagebin.org/85792 It's supposed to look like this: http://docs.kde.org/development/en/extragear-graphics/kpovmodeler/defaultviewlayout.png [04:30] itai: no, it will just tell you if there's something wrong with the memory. it just runs tests over and over verifying that the memory functions correctly. [04:30] stueh: No problem. Go forth and geek out. [04:31] itai: if it displays errors, you need some new memory. if it's a new computer it's probably still under warranty. [04:31] brjann, ok , thanks === maruku is now known as maruku84 [04:31] itai: as for acpi, read here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions [04:32] dj_segfault: Shall do! Seeya mate :) [04:32] itai: that explains how to use boot options, and you can try the "acpi=off" option and see if that improves stability [04:33] itai: probably disabling the option that sleeps the pc after 1 hour [04:34] Hello all:) anyone know of an application that enables the user to delete icons and see where they point? [04:35] in my ubuntu and translated to English its in Sistem > preferences > Energy manegement [04:35] NCS_One: ack! i didn't even think of that. itai, check System > Preferences > Power Management first, and make sure it's not set to put the computer to sleep. [04:35] brjann, let me check [04:35] hello guys good morning... i want to remove unused program at startup application. What program we can safely remove? [04:35] Boots32M: are you referring to symlinks? [04:35] how do i kill update manager, wats is the command line? [04:35] dsnyders, final union add support for newer unmerged kernels for union file system [04:36] i am using ubuntu karmic [04:36] Remmaze, ps -e and you see all processes [04:36] then look for the number and do kill ie kill 1235 [04:36] unitedpotsmokers: preference -> session and startup [04:36] anyone know of a web interface for like gedit, vim ,or som,ething similar [04:36] just a huge input field [04:36] I'm trying to get MythTV (Ubuntu 9.10) to boot without a monitor. Any good xorg docs/links? [04:36] letalis, I don't know. I am new to this running 9.10 NBR and want to be able to delete unwanted icons and see where others point to on my desktop. [04:36] brjann, it says : put computer to sleep-never, spin down HD when possible and put display to sleep when incative for 30 min, should i change anything? [04:36] Does anyone know a fix to 'hrtimer: interrupt too slow' in dmesg making the Ubuntu VM utterly unresponsive? [04:36] for example 2.6.31 is merged so it doesnt have a final-union where as 2.6.32 does because it hasnt been merged is my understanding [04:36] shazbotmcnasty: vim is what i use. i love it [04:37] I know about the program, but I want a web interface [04:37] im dloading sumting, but my update manager just sits there, try to reconnect to this 1 site, i cant close it, how do i kill it? [04:37] because girlfriend loves working in tabs [04:37] in firefox [04:37] and pastebin is too small of an input field [04:37] shazbotmcnasty: shazbotmcnasty you might like mousepad or geany [04:37] itai: you can try disabling display sleep and disk spin down, and see if that helps [04:37] a program i'm running uses opengl and when i click on menus (file, edit, etc.) the pop up but under the window... how can i solve this? [04:38] brjann, thanks [04:38] Since enabling compiz, when I type in gnome-terminal the characters are sometimes a square instead of the proper character. [04:38] itai: no problem, good luck :) [04:38] how do I configure a particular user to NOT launch gnome, but just xterm instead? [04:39] Synaptic: "The DEB program package »openoffice.org-emailmerge« contains a component which allows OpenOffice.org to "mail merge" to E-Mail." What does it mean 'to mail merge to E-Mail'? [04:39] sensae: is it asking you to restart? [04:39] I have just installed thunderbird. Where do i find the files of this program? i want to import my profiles by copying thunderbird profile files [04:39] nytek_: Nope. [04:39] is there any websites that I can use just as an input field [04:39] sensae: you might want to restart [04:39] nytek_: I'll give that a try [04:40] pw-toxic_, should be in usr/bin/thunderbird IIRC [04:40] pw-toxic_: '~$ sudo updatedb' then '~$ locate thunderbird'. [04:40] Is there a way to see if a cron job is running, or if it has finished? [04:41] switch10: Yes, at least the latter. [04:42] no one know which items we can remove safely? [04:42] jsec, its in usr/lib and usr/share [04:42] nytek_: Still doing it :/ [04:42] pw-toxic_: im updating sumting, but my update manager just sits there, trying to connect to this 1 site, trying to load ttf-mscorefonts, i cant close it, how do i kill it?? [04:42] pw-toxic_: im updating sumting, but my update manager just sits there, trying to connect to this 1 site, trying to load ttf-mscorefonts, i cant close it, how do i kill it?? [04:42] Remmaze: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:42] bullgard: how do I do that? [04:42] switch10: `cat /var/log/syslog | grep cron` [04:42] pw-toxic), eh you learn something new every day ^_^ [04:43] skraps thanks [04:43] Floobots : sorry man, i accidentally pressed enter twice...:) [04:44] shhhh we dont talk to the bots Remmaze ;) [04:44] hahaha... [04:44] Remmaze, I'm not sure, but i would try to kill it with the console. [04:44] Remmaze, so i would enter "ps -e" [04:44] then i can see all processes running and look for the update manager [04:44] and then kill it [04:45] how do i stop my drop down menus from being covered up by the programs window? i think it's my opengl but i really don't know. [04:45] ok guys, i managed to kill using the force quit... [04:45] switch10: Have a look into /var/log/syslog: '~$ mc /var/log/syslog'. Then press F3 and look for 'CRON...'. [04:45] or you can go System -> Administration -> System Monitor to have a windows like taks manager === stevecam is now known as steve_3199 === paddy_melon is now known as paddymelon [04:46] anyone? [04:47] YUP [04:47] hi === stevecam is now known as Guest80732 [04:47] hi [04:47] ???? [04:48] how to enable wireless in ubuntu 9.10 [04:48] !wifi | xyz [04:48] xyz: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [04:49] well, guys, I have a bit of a puzzler here. I've been trying to install some packages and when I do an apt-get install I get the "Couldn't find package" error message. But I go to synaptic and not only are the packages there but they are already installed! Obviously if they're installed I don't have a problem with that package now, but I am trying to figure out why synaptic would show something different from apt-get [04:49] hey again everybody.hey ! can anybody tell me what a "cpu governor" is ? what it does ? [04:49] anthony_: One solution is to quit your particular program window and restart it on another workspace. [04:49] how do i stop my drop down menus from being covered up by the programs window? i think it's my opengl but i really don't know. [04:49] one of the packages in question is gstreamer-0.10-plugins-ugly in case that helps [04:49] rifter: try apt-get update [04:49] ok [04:49] thanks [04:49] rifter: and then try to install [04:49] switch10, yeah I did that, it didn't change anything [04:50] rifter: weird [04:50] faron: cpu governors control how your cpu speeds up and down in response to demand [04:50] hello all... need some help with screen setup, need to config x [04:50] switch10, yeah I know. you would think that if it shows up in synaptic, apt-get would show it, too [04:50] hmmmmmmm could this help me with flash video & audio sych up ? [04:51] I want to backup a 750GB hard_disk (with only 20GB occupied) - and restore it in a smaller hard disk (300 GB hard disk) - what should I use? partimage requires at least equal hard disk with the original [04:51] rifter: what are you trying to install? [04:51] switch10, so really now I am worried that I have somehow broken apt and need to fix it [04:51] it didn't work. :( does the same thing. [04:51] rifter: I do not know why Synaptic's and apt-get's results differ. You need to observe more carefully both programs outputs. [04:51] does someone know how i can customize the behavior of the window titlebar double click? i want the double click to force a window maximize [04:51] faron: probably not -- you can try turning on the performance governor to guarantee full speed at all times, but i doubt it will help with flash [04:51] acu: use rsync [04:51] rifter, can synaptic and apt-get hav different sets of repositories? [04:52] switch10, well several media packages, but one of the ones in question is gstreamer-0.10-plugins-ugly which does show up in synaptic as installed but apt-get install shows "Couldn't find package" [04:52] You have any ideas about what I can do about that [04:52] acu, or the GUI version of rsync, grsync [04:52] im sorry.. this was an emeral option i have set up myself [04:52] dsnyders: No. [04:52] ?Others with the same ram seem to have no probs with flash [04:52] rifter: see if you can find it with aptitude search [04:53] seanbrystone: so if I want to backup the disk with the operating system - should I boot with a live system - Knoppix or somehting [04:53] any other ideas? [04:53] why cant we talk to the bots? [04:53] just wondering.... [04:54] why can't you talk to the bots ? [04:54] Remmaze, sort of a one sided conversation [04:54] acu ive never done whole-disk backup, so im prolly not the one to ask about that :D [04:54] Remmaze, you can; but /msg ubottu to do so [04:54] I do [04:54] dsnyders, well, know that when I check system -> administration -> software sources I have the same sources as are in sources.list and the .list files I have under /etc/apt/sources.list.d as far as I can tell === Guest47739 is now known as flea [04:54] they don't really talk back much but well,you know heh heh [04:55] robots,huh ? Go figure [04:55] heh heh [04:55] faron, sure ubottu does; /msg ubottu info packagename for example [04:55] switch10, no joy on aptitude search [04:55] acu, you might want to check out http://clonezilla.org/ which is a livecd that does disk imaging [04:55] rifter, I was just trying to find a reason why they might have different software. Apparently they use the same list, so that idea is out the window. [04:55] faron: no, sorry, I don't know much about flash troubleshooting.

[04:56] well,thks anywy friend [04:56] faron: no problem, good luck :) [04:56] ZykoticK9, but doesnt clonezilla require the destination to be as big as the source? [04:56] dsnyders, yeah and I just checked settings -> repositories under synaptic and it shows the same software sources dialog with the same sources [04:56] seanbrystone, i'd imagine so yes [04:56] java [04:56] seanbrystone, it does to compression as well [04:56] ok then... [04:57] ZykoticK9, he didnt want that though, remember he said partimage was that way too :) [04:57] seanbrystone, sorry i actually just caught the tail end, and jumped in -- don't know the history at all [04:57] no worries :D [04:58] dsnyders, as far as I can tell is supposed to be in the regular repos under universe restricted or multiverse [04:58] fromthe internet [04:58] My Movie Player program plays online radios and videos properly, but the youtube feature plays without sound. Anyone know why? [04:59] rifter: have you tried installing it with synaptic? [04:59] Zykotick9: thanks I just look at clonezilla - seems cool - the only limitation is that the target partition should be at least equal to the original - thanks anhouw - seanbrystone is very perceptive :) [05:00] switch10, synaptic says I already have it installed [05:00] arr ubuntu is really nice ;) [05:01] dsnyders, actually I look in http://packages.ubuntu.com/search and it doesn't find the package there ... so...

[05:10] bullgard mail merge takes a set of information from tables in a spreadsheet/database and plugs t into points in a document so you can make like form letters [05:11] bullgard, so for instans you could have a letter that says dear [name] and it would set up a set of documents that put a name in each copy [05:11] I am trying to apply a kernel patch with patch -p1 --verbose and it just sits there with no output on two seperate kernel versions [05:12] rifter: Ah! Thank you very much for your excellent explanation. [05:12] bullgard, yeah you might check out http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/FAQ/Writer/Printing/How_do_I_setup_mail_merge [05:12] bullgard and http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/OOoAuthors_User_Manual/Writer_Guide/Using_Mail_Merge [05:12] rifter: Very good. I am hurrying to read this article. [05:13] symlinks is command line based [05:13] Is there something like that with its own gui [05:14] bullgard, basically fields in your document will refer to fields in the database or spreadsheet, so you could have things like name, address, phone number, favorite color, whatever, and then you relate those fields in your document to the fields in your data source and it plugs them in [05:16] rifter: Yes. I remember that WordStar implemented such a function. [05:18] i have just downloaded eclipse for php.. where should i normally place this program ?! [05:19] Can anyone help me install a D-Link usb wireless device on ubuntu? [05:19] pw-toxic_: you can either put it in your home directory, or someplace like /opt [05:19] what stands opt for? [05:20] pw-toxic_: optional. it's more or less a place to put stuff that doesn't fit anywhere else, especially if it comes with its own directory structure (like eclipse does) [05:20] ... So can anyone help? [05:21] I'm also looking for help with vsftp [05:21] Hi [05:21] Hi all.. [05:21] hello [05:22] hi [05:22] do you know much about vsftp?

[05:22] how to run the usb create.exe now?? [05:23] mouse, do you know how to change the GROUP owner of a folder? I think this is preventing ftp uploads. shows root as owner [05:23] pw-toxic_: you can edit the grub boot line and remove "quiet" [05:23] rastasean: chown :groupname folder [05:23] pw-toxic_: that will just show you what's going on instead of the splash screen, though [05:24] brjann, no i'm looking for a gui where i can change the image of the ubuntu booting process [05:24] pw-toxic_: oh, okay. sorry, no idea :) [05:24] brjann, there you can set up a bootscreen AND show additional boot data [05:24] Sry, Rasta, I dunno. I'll try to find out l8r. [05:24] hello.. has anyone used the usbcreater.exe which comes along with the netbook iso??

Please don't tell people to "google it" when they ask a question. [05:25] i think this is close but i still get error [05:25] pw-toxic_: fancy! let me know if you find out [05:25] obviously i'm not using the command correctly, balki [05:25] brjann, why cant i remember the coolest tools ;)) [05:25] brjann, you can even change the login screen [05:25] balki, what are you trying to do? :) [05:25] err.. help?

[05:53] linuxpjc780: that depends on if your computer has a bluetooth card in it, if it doesn't, you need the adapter to use bluetooth [05:53] @faron i'm not sure.i never tried xubuntu [05:54] OK - and that would probably be the case - with either Ubuntu or Windows?

Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [06:06] OK - so I ran that sudo command - I don't see an HTML file on my desktop. Is it hidden somewhere? [06:06] well i'm using usb datacard to access net.upto intrepid,there was no problem.i just edited wvdial.conf,put my username and password and i'm ready to go.since jaunty wvdial is not there by default.is there another way to connect to net?i mean without wvdial,how am i supposed to connect to net? [06:06] like a flash update? [06:06] thnx ubottu [06:06] sabat, no firmware to run the device, wireless devices and other devices these days requires a firmware which is usually proprietary and not easily available without internet access and your consent to download proprietary stuff [06:06] aaah, ok. so in otherwords, I jsut need proprietary drivers [06:07] Dr_Willis, thanks. I have been looking for this for about 45 minutes. But the login manager isnt as good as the one from gdm1 ;( but its a start [06:07] I'm having an issue installing the ralink drivers [06:07] well, that's lame, but I can deal with that [06:07] Neon0Blue, the guide doesn't work? [06:07] Does but. [06:07] I can get internet access on this easily [06:07] I get an install error when installing the drivers. [06:07] sabat, well unfortunately that's broadcrap for you, best yet is to physically hook that laptop up using wired and go through hardware drivers [06:07] joshuah - OK - so I ran that sudo command - I don't see an HTML file on my desktop. Is it hidden somewhere? [06:07] Do I need to be logged in as root or just sudo because it's not working on sudo. [06:07] Any advice? [06:08] Neon0Blue, which part of the guide are you stuck? [06:08] "make[1]: *** [install] Error 1 [06:08] make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/richeyisok/Desktop/RT3070_LinuxSTA_V2.3.0.1_20100208/os/linux' [06:08] make: *** [install] Error 2" [06:08] The "sudo make install" part. [06:08] Of installing the drivers I make [06:08] well normally sudo shouldn't fail because you'll be executing that command as root [06:09] Neon0Blue, "make install" does require sudo -- if you did ./configure and make first, they don't require sudo [06:09] ok [06:09] So no sudo [06:09] Trying. [06:09] linuxpjc780: no it shouldn't be... [06:09] try using sudo -i and manually navigate back to that directory with the Makefile and then try running make install [06:10] Put in the make command and it's going. [06:10] I think,. [06:10] using sudo with make is not recommended [06:10] so do I just need to get internet access on it and run some updates? [06:10] or is using the wireless entirelly hopeless? [06:10] is there a channel about wine [06:10] Neon0Blue, do you have build-essential installed on your system (it's required for most, if not all compiling) [06:10] sabat, well you'll need some form of internet access on the laptop before you can do any other stuff with the laptop wirelessly [06:10] freezway: yes, #winehq [06:10] linuxpjc780: after > is where the file goes and the file name, so you can do something like "/home/USERNAME/Desktop/myfile.html" just to make sure it's right... [06:10] Yes. [06:10] freezway: #winehq [06:10] ty [06:11] ya, done [06:11] what next? [06:11] cp: cannot remove `/tftpboot': Permission denied [06:11] make: *** [LINUX] Error 1 [06:11] I think I need sudo. [06:11] sabat, make sure that you have an IP address on that laptop [06:11] Dr_Willis, the tool doesnt work for me ;( the login screens dont get changed [06:11] Neon0Blue, your actually not giving us the real error, could you pastebin the error messages? [06:12] I pasted it. [06:12] What do you want me to copy. [06:12] Neon0Blue, sorry didn't see the tftpboot part - my bad [06:12] Or can you just remote desktop me. [06:12] ok. [06:13] What should I do?' [06:13] Should I log in as root and try installing it? [06:13] no one is on the wine channel, so i'll ask here... wine isn't running my game at the correct res (warcraft 3 and 1920x1080) [06:13] Neon0Blue, yeah I'd give it a shot, use sudo -i [06:13] hm ok [06:14] freezway: did you install warcraft 3? cuz you should be able to use regedit to set it, that's a warcraft 3 thing [06:14] you'll also need to navigate back into where you extracted all that ralink stuff [06:14] freezway: are you sure, the game itself can handle this high resolution? [06:14] ya, I got the internet working on it now, entirely, I hooked up the wireless and setup the ip and everything, I don't run a dhcp just for the slight bit of extra security but It's up now. [06:15] im curious, b/c when i had a 1440x900 moniter it didn't let me choose that, but now that i have 1920 x 1080 i can choose 1440x900 [06:15] joshuah - OK, I missed part of your initial command instructions - I got the html. So where in this html would it say something about a bluetooth adapter (if it is installed)? Or how would it read? Another thing - if I go to System --> Preferences --> Bluetooth - and it tells me no Bluetooth adapters are present - then does that for sure mean there aren't any present? [06:15] sabat, you meant wired [06:15] freezway: http://warcraft.freakygaming.com/tutorials/running_warcraft_3_in_widescreen.html says you can edit "HKEY_CURRENT_USER > Software > Blizzard Entertainment > Warcraft III > Video" with regedit to change your resolution (in windows or wine) [06:16] k i'll give it a shot [06:16] err, ya [06:16] I got it online tho, so what was next? [06:16] sabat, ok, open up terminal and type in sudo aptitude install fw-cutter [06:17] hello [06:17] !hi | TimboSlice [06:17] TimboSlice: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! [06:18] thx :) [06:18] joshuah - I successfully generated the specs.html file. Where would it say in this file - something about Bluetooth adapter? [06:18] linuxpjc780: that sounds like you don't have one... and I can't find mine in the html file either (and I know I have one). does it say it's disabled in System > Preferences > Bluetooth? because that's what I have (with an internal adapter) [06:18] sweet that worked thx [06:18] going slow === matthew is now known as Guest69637 [06:19] freezway: np, but if you go into Options > Video in warcraft 3 you'll hafta reset it again ^^ [06:19] sabat, but you're now downloading it right? [06:19] done now [06:19] How can I set my Empathy 2.28.1.1 so that it will show Geolocation service results? [06:19] ya [06:19] wired tho [06:19] Hi, what's the best app to listen to internet radio? I remember seeing preloaded long lists to choose from in one app, but I can't remember which one it was. [06:19] it went really really slow at the start, made me wonder if it was working, but it was working [06:20] joshuah - no, when I go to Bluetooth under Preferences - it tells me an adapter isn't present - that none are plugged in. But this does not necessarily mean there isn't an internal adapter that's just disabled, right? === homercrates is now known as Dude_Johnson [06:20] I still get an install error. [06:20] lgc: vlc will do that, sometimes you can find a .pls file that will open with it (di.fm), or just open the site from vlc [06:20] "cp: cannot stat `/home/richeyisok/Desktop/RT3070_LinuxSTA_V2.3.0.1_20100208/RT3070STA.dat': No such file or directory [06:20] make[1]: *** [install] Error 1 [06:20] make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/richeyisok/Desktop/RT3070_LinuxSTA_V2.3.0.1_20100208/os/linux' [06:20] make: *** [install] Error 2" [06:20] Neon0Blue: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[06:21] Like? [06:21] Need help here please with mount command. As a root I have mounted ( mount /dev/sde1 /mount ) HDD. I have created a file there over ssh ( Putty ). I can see the file over the Putty terminal. I have logged to the box from another box with standard GUI file browser Nautilus ( File-->Connect To Server ) over SSH as a root. I do not see the file created over Putty..... Why? [06:21] Has anyone been able to get libflashplayer.so to work for firefox under Ubuntu 9.10 ppc? [06:21] joshuah, but I can't find lists in vlc. Only the input for the stream address. [06:22] linuxpjc780: that sounds like you don't have one, you can check in your bios (tap F12 on boot up for dell users, it should say ___ for Setup in the corner of your screen) and see if it's there, but I don't think you have one (you'd need the adapter) [06:22] there is not a folder called b43, I checked multiple times to be sure [06:22] Neon0Blue, wait, your uncompressed stuff might not be complete [06:22] ... [06:22] Can someone just remote desktop me? [06:23] lol [06:23] I'm lost. [06:23] joshuah - K, yeah - I don't have Dell - I have IBM, so ... I can always check for it in Windows too ... [06:23] Are debian packages... archives of some kind? [06:23] sabat, try navigating into hardware drivers and give it a shot [06:24] Neon0Blue: not really a good idea to allow remote access to a random stranger on irc. [06:24] Valid point. [06:24] But I'm lost. [06:24] And I don't have much to loose. [06:24] Neon0Blue: with? [06:24] With my D-Link USB device. === backdoor is now known as opTy [06:24] lgc: yeah, I think you need to find em beforehand, there might be sites out there for that. googling around I found http://www.streamfinder.com/ [06:25] Neon0Blue: being lost is the best way to find your way around Linux :) [06:25] I know. [06:25] linuxpjc780: okay, you might check on windows too, and possibly in your bios (when you start up) [06:25] But apparently I'm missing files that I don't know where to get or anything. [06:25] joshuah, thank. I'll take a look. [06:25] Neon0Blue: what files? [06:25] Someone who can SEE whats going on may help. [06:25] IDK [06:25] RT3070STA.dat [06:25] I think [06:25] lgc: yeah [06:25] Neon0Blue: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:25] Neon0Blue, yeah that is it [06:26] joshuah - do you know how to access BIOS on an IBM Thinkpad? [06:26] Where can I get it? [06:26] it should normally be under that same directory, try searching for it [06:26] Neon0Blue: Might be a good idea to check manufacturer's site, i dunno [06:26] RT2870STA.dat [06:26] I have that? [06:26] Rename? [06:27] mm probably not a good idea to rename [06:27] linuxpjc780: I don't, but it might say (probably "setup") when you see the IBM logo when you startup your computer, and it's probably on their website or google. be careful when in the setup too, it's easy to mes things up :P [06:27] hm.

[06:34] ogv is the output from gtk record my desktop [06:34] IdleOne, np [06:35] ohhhh [06:35] animated gif? [06:35] Yes!!. [06:35] yeah [06:35] I c [06:35] 1m lol (google) [06:35] ogv is an Ogg Video, not an animated gif o_O [06:35] i just did for like 15 minuets..... :@ [06:35] skullcandy, you need mplayer/mencoder package, grab those first before trying to convert anything [06:35] umk will do [06:35] skullcandy: 2 heads are better than 1 :P [06:36] hello guys. can i get help. i'm trying to send a file on my system via ssh. its a rather large file but ftp is not enabled on the other computer.

[06:36] psycho, what is sshfs? [06:36] Neon0Blue, first unload it from modules, then blacklist it and then remove it [06:37] rastasean, ssh file system, allows you to navigate around places inside ssh and copy and paste files if need be [06:37] psycho, does it need to be installed on the client (person receiving) [06:37] !sshfs | rastasean [06:37] rastasean: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHFS [06:38] mplayer failed to isntall [06:38] yes if the client doesn't know how to use scp or winscp or whatever [06:38] anybody know of a cli html parser that will output a url to stdout?

[06:47] Anyone here got any experience with Kongregate.com? ;D [06:47] Neon0Blue, not an ideal solution [06:47] But I have no clue what's wrong. [06:47] And maybe by you seeing what's going on you can come up with a solution. [06:48] well [06:48] theadmin: there's not a script for it already there? [06:48] joshuah: I belive there ain't, i compiled it from source and installed into my home's subfolder [06:48] Neon0Blue, I'd prefer ssh, remote desktop takes too much bandwidth [06:49] ok. [06:49] What should I put into gSTM. [06:49] gSTM? [06:49] hey everyone [06:49] That's my SSH app. [06:49] Hi, mhaedo [06:50] Neon0Blue, you'll need to run ssh server [06:50] theadmin: sure, you can do whatever you want, but be careful with it. it'll need to be executable (chown +x /etc/init.d/yourhttpdfile) and you might want to back up anything important first [06:50] Uh lost. [06:50] Hi! I have a Makefile.in file that refers to "Include directories for the compiler" and is defaulting to /opt/local/include What do I need to use for ubuntu? [06:50] bullgard owh. how can i describe it? because it not always happen at all time -_-' [06:50] would anyone here mind giving a few pointers with restoring my grub2? i'm familiar with grub legacy, but grub2 with LVMs is really throwing me for a loop [06:50] What's the difference between chown and chmod? .-. [06:50] joshuah: Oh, so i need to +x it, good point, i'd forget that for sure === claptrap is now known as Claptrap [06:51] claptrap: chown changes ownership, chmod changes permissions [06:51] claptrap, chown is to change ownership of file, chmod changes the various read write execute bits, sticky bits, etc [06:51] i've looked at several howtos and tutorials, but i'm a bit confused [06:51] theadmin: chmod >.<, sorry [06:51] Ah. [06:51] joshuah: Well, lol, i didn't even notice that typo [06:51] s/file/file\ and\ directory [06:51] claptrap: chown - change ownership chmod - change permissions [06:52] oh sorry didn't see that [06:52] Seemed logical, but since he did the +x and was talking about making it executable... I just wanted to be sure. [06:52] lol. [06:52] theadmin: it's an 18 hr day for me so far :P, I'm a little out of it right now [06:52] Neon0Blue, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH [06:52] anyone at all mind lending a hand with grub2? [06:52] Sounds like you might want to sleep, sir. [06:53] I got a question is there any distro at all or maybe an old ubuntu that I can put on my old compcrap laptop [06:53] and update it from there [06:53] Ubuntu Netbook Remix! [06:53] Hellhound666: Maybe Xubuntu... [06:53] tmukmkd: Tell us the settings of PulseAudio and AlsaMixer and on what of their settings will your strange sound appear and on what settings not. [06:54] mhaedo: you can install it with grub-install /dev/yourhddhere. you can edit /etc/default/grub to your liking then run "update-grub" to update grub.cfg. it's usually under a different package than the older grub (I think one's grub, the other's grub-pc) [06:54] Isn't Netbook Remix optimized for older PCs? [06:54] Well [06:54] Optimized for netbooks. [06:54] yes [06:54] theadmin: thanks I'll give it a try [06:54] joshuah: thanks for the pointer...i've read that in a few HOWTOs [06:54] mhaedo: ok ^^, it took me awhile for me to be able to do anything with it too... was used to the ole menu.lst [06:55] joshuah: i'm still a bit confused. my /boot partition is /dev/sda1 and my root partition is a logical volume in an LVM on /dev/sda2 [06:55] joshuah: that's what's complicating things. [06:56] mhaedo: oh... I wouldn't know about that. maybe --root-directory=/boot/something? (or, on a livecd, /media/disk/something)? [06:56] see that's the problem [06:56] theadmin: do you suggest a version? it's a Presario 700 compaq 20gig hdd I think a 1ghz processor === tweak is now known as Guest37323 [06:56] Hello. [06:56] I don't trust LiveCDs just now. [06:56] when you use the --root-directory flag it assumes that your /boot is within that root directory [06:56] Hellhound666, how much RAM? [06:56] my /boot is a seperate partition from my root directory [06:57] so if i do that it installs grub in /boot/grub, which is actually /boot/boot/grub [06:57] well if i use sda1 as my root directory that is [06:57] How can I set my Empathy 2.28.1.1 so that it will show Geolocation service results?

I think he's a grub developer [06:57] oh sorry 256mb [06:57] Help, anyone... I was following the tutorial found here: http://www.khattam.info/2009/11/08/solved-dsl-pppoe-not-able-to-connect-in-ubuntu-9-10-karmic-koala/ and got through it all only to find out that it broke network manager rather than fixing it, and now I can't use wireless or ethernet. Network manager says wired devices are not managed, and wireless sees network but continues trying to connect without success. [06:57] and i'm not sure how i'd even refer to my actual root directory which is a logical volume instead of a normal parttion [06:57] is there a way for me to open a gui text editor to edit a remote file (through ssh) [06:58] i miss grub legacy and normal partitions [06:58] mhaedo: you can boot to a livecd, mount it, then use the logical volume for the disk, and the directory for --root-directory [06:58] I have a question. I am on 64bit ubuntu, and i am trying ot find, and download some 32bit librarys (to solve some compatiiblity issues with a applicaiton i use) but im not sure where to find them. I was thinking i sould the soruce list, or package manager to download and reinstal a library to its 32bit version. [06:58] NimbleRabit: now's a good time to get used to cli text editors :) [06:58] avemaria: Why shouldn't it work on a laptop? [06:59] misterB: First reboot and tell the results. [06:59] ardchoille, somehow I knew that was going to be the answer [06:59] lol [06:59] joshuah: but then it would install grub to a /boot folder in my root directory which still doesn't work because i have a seperate partition for /boot, it's not a directory on my root logical volume [06:59] bullgard: I've tried that [06:59] joshuah: so complicated for something that is so simple :( [06:59] Ikagara: this looks like it might help: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=928070 [06:59] dJ: its working but infact overworking even when i type this message the screen get locked and i have to unlock it [06:59] !wireless | misterB [06:59] misterB: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [06:59] mhaedo: My Windows 7 install just blew itself up trying to run a defrag. === Guest37323 is now known as EMTTweak [07:00] Feel free to feel better about your life now.

[07:00] mhaedo: yeah... but I think it's some combination of using/not using /dev/sda and a # and --root-directory... like in the old grub how you could install to a partition (hd0,0) instead of a harddrive (hd0) [07:01] Hi folks I need help lol... erm how do I configure my USR Robotics External 56k Modem :( no lights come on it or anything on UBuntu pls help [07:01] either way, I bet phcoder in #grub can help you if he's not too busy ^^ [07:01] joshuah: i've actually managed to get grub2 on my MBR [07:01] joshuah: i just cant boot it [07:01] misterB: Have a look in dmesg. I am sure it mentions a bug (wrong configuration) of ehernet (eth0 probably). [07:01] s/ehernet/ethernet/ [07:01] mhaedo, What are you trying to do? [07:01] joshuah: i cant get it to understand my partitioning and logical volume scheme [07:01] mhaedo: how do you know? [07:01] ohh... is that an LVM thing? [07:01] dj: display to to sleep is set for 30 minutes but this is happening after every 5-6 minutes [07:02] who are the owners of the bots?

[07:03] Jordan_U: i have /boot as it's own primary partition on /dev/sda1, and the rest of my filesystem as seperate logical volumes in an LVM on /dev/sda2 [07:03] any help guys this has become really irritating [07:03] Jordan_U: i cannot figure out how to install grub and make it recognize my /boot partition and root filesystem as a logical volume in an LVM on /dev/sda2 [07:04] Jordan_U: i [07:04] bullgard: Sorry? /= [07:04] i've followed a few howtos to reinstall it, but they don't really apply to my partitioning scheme [07:04] i thought /boot couldent be on a lvm... but i may be wrong [07:04] avemaria: check System > Preferences > Screensaver. display power management is separate from the screensaver settings [07:04] mhaedo: reinstall grub [07:04] bullgard: it was all working before I tried the tutorial. Any idea where the configuration files are that would have gotten messed up?

[09:23] <^sn00per^> linuxpjc780, um you would depend on how good your firewall is set up and yellowbabe is right about strength of passwords [09:23] Curly_Q: its possible.. try 'sudo service gdm start' and see if it sarts up [09:24] I had the hardest time installing Ubuntu Desktop and Kubuntu. I installed i386 server and it works nice. [09:24] in GNUsim8085 , when i give opcode " mvi a,ffH " , it say : invalid oprand or symbol , anyone help ? [09:24] almoxarife & ^snooper^ - Yeah, can I get some assitance get a rootki checker running on a schedule - and a good firewall setup? [09:25] linuxpjc780: you install rkhunter and it will setup a cronjob itself. you can also run chkrootkit too [09:26] linuxpjc780: is the4re any reason you need a firewall? [09:26] linuxpjc780: I can't tell you what your firewall needs are, I use 'firestarter', its simple or complex as you want it to get [09:27] linuxpjc780: your router should be doing firewall already, I assume you get out via a router [09:28] on a default ubuntu install, there's really nothing open for anyone to connect to [09:28] #ubuntu-it [09:28] Though you can use firestarter or ufw if you need to [09:29] #ubuntu-it-chat [09:29] lorenzo: /join #ubuntu-it [09:29] i just downloaded thunderbird from its website and it extracted to a folder with a bunch of files in it, how do i install it? [09:30] anyone? [09:30] morph: you install thunderbird with : sudo apt-get install thunderbird [09:30] and delete the package you downloaded from the tb site [09:30] will it be the newest version? [09:30] hi. my network manager takes too long (2-3 mins) to connect to my home wifi network. my machine is a dell and the wifi chipset is broadcom. is there anyway of speeding up wifi connectivity? [09:30] in the ubuntu software center its an old version [09:31] ardchoille: I use firestarter cause it has a simple rules making frontend, ufw was too complicated for me [09:31] morph it will be the right one for ubuntu compatible libs etc [09:31] by speeding up .. i mean connecting ... not actual data speed [09:31] ardchoille & almoxarife - Yeah, so I can get rkhunter and chkrootkit in the Ubuntu Software Center? Or are they Terminal commands? I want to be able to track network activity on my computer - similar to Zone Alarm in Windows ... I am running wireless on a router. I have double-encryption - with WPA Personal and a MAC filter set up ... [09:31] By the way, it is nice to see you again Ardchoille and Dr Willis. [09:31] it will be the newest version available from the repos and it will be automatically updated for bug fixes and security updates. Otherwise you have to do all that yourself [09:31] ubnut is pretty up to date === [SW]Dodge`oFF is now known as [SW]Dodge [09:32] linuxpjc780: firestarter will monitor the wifi if you tell it to, and will indicate what is connected to what [09:32] linuxpjc780: rkhunter and chkrootkit don't track anything, they are rootkit scanners that you have to run. === [SW]Dodge is now known as [SW]Dodge`oFF [09:32] yea [09:32] that didnt work [09:32] morph: it will be the newest version available from the repos and it will be automatically updated for bug fixes and security updates. Otherwise you have to do all that yourself [09:32] can u just tell me how to install that folder? [09:32] I don't understand "repos" quite yet. So I go to the Ubuntu Repositories website, search for rkhunter and chkrootkit on there - and then download it from there? [09:33] this is version 2 something [09:33] the newest is 3 [09:33] linuxpjc780: use synaptic [09:33] linuxpjc780: sudo apt-get install rkhunter chkrootkit [09:33] linuxpjc780: or you can search in synaptic [09:34] Is Linux affected by that stupid virus with the Red Oblong box in the center of the screen as Windows? [09:34] Curly_Q: there aren't any active Linux viruses atm [09:34] Glad to hear that Ardchoille. [09:34] Curly_Q: just be careful of what you download and don't open any strange email attachments [09:35] ardchoille, im trying to install an addon and i get this msg [09:35] does ubuntu 9.10 install ati catalyst drivers by default? and if so what version, I expected to see it in hardware drivers, but its not there, do I need to install them manually? [09:35] I agree. Any executable is not open. [09:35] anyone knows any application for managing a shop [09:35] it is not compatible with Thunderbird 2.0.0.23 (Enigmail 1.0.1 will only work with Thunderbird versions 3.0pre to 3.0.*) [09:35] i have a book shop and im switching to ubuntu there [09:36] Ardchoille, do I need to be cautious about apt-gets? [09:36] Curly_Q: read this to learn why Linux is safer: http://ardchoille42.blogspot.com/2009/02/linux-and-viruses.html [09:36] Curly_Q: not really, as long as you trsut any repos you add [09:36] hi please suggest on camera detection software. [09:37] linuxpjc780: rkhunter works in background checking every x startups I think, btw, as one who uses windows and ubuntu, I see windows infected a lot, never saw my ubuntu side infected, that's NEVER, still, if there is peace of mind I suggest rkhunter [09:37] morph: both thunderbird and enigmail are in the repos, I can't help much with stuff from outside the repos [09:37] how can I tell what video card is in my system, I know it's ati [09:37] ardchoille & almoxarife - OK, I'm installing the rkhunter and chkrootkit right now. Where do I get firestarter - from the repositority website? [09:37] sabat: sudo lspci [09:37] sabat: lspci | grep -i VGA [09:37] Good article Ardchoille. Social Engineering and Risky Microsoft Engineering. [09:37] linuxpjc780: yes [09:37] linuxpjc780: from synaptic [09:38] linuxpjc780: installing how? [09:39] archoille & almoxarife - Installing via Terminal. For firestarter, let me guess: sudo apt-get firestarter? [09:39] it's a radeon xpress 200m, nothing great I know [09:39] linuxpjc780: you're installing these from the command line or from synatpic right? you're not downloading packages from archive.ubuntu.com? [09:39] linuxpjc780: yes [09:39] Ardchoille, is that your server that I read that article? Looks pretty good. [09:39] ardchoille - when you say "synaptic", are talking about Terminal? [09:39] anyone? [09:39] Curly_Q: no, it's my blog at blogspot [09:40] I see. Thanks for that article. [09:40] linuxpjc780: no, synaptic is a gui for installing packages: System Administration > Synaptic [09:40] what is the proper method to update to the newest or more stable drivers? the current ones are not working properly, so I was going to try that first. [09:40] ardchoille, im trying to read an encrypted email from launchpad [09:40] i couldnt read it in gmail [09:40] I already ran the general ubuntu updates. [09:40] which is why im trying to install this crpa [09:42] sabat: what kind of video card do you have? [09:42] sabat: what drivers are you trying to update? (I asumed video card sry) [09:42] I noticed that when installing Ubuntu, it showed that BSD was being installed and Debian. What is that all about? [09:43] It's a ati radeon 200m [09:43] Wouldn't that be packages from BSD and Debian? [09:43] it's built into my laptop [09:43] Possibly. [09:43] Curly_Q: you can expect to find the name "Debian" a lot, Ubuntu is based on Debian; about BSD.. you probably saw a BSD licensed software [09:43] Curly_Q: there are some packages based on BSD and debian code [09:43] I see. Thanks. [09:44] I can run 3d games in windows fine, I don't run anything hardcore. but like, even quake won't do opengl properly, so I assumed maybe a video driver update would help [09:44] !info bsdutils [09:44] bsdutils (source: util-linux (2.16-1ubuntu5)): Basic utilities from 4.4BSD-Lite. In component main, is required. Version 1:2.16-1ubuntu5 (karmic), package size 75 kB, installed size 200 kB [09:44] ardchoille & almoxarife - OK, right. Synaptic is definitely easier. But if I ran the command in Terminal, and once it finishes installing - where do I access rkhunter and chkrootkit now? In what directory were the applications placed? [09:44] how can I tell what version of video driver I am using? and any chance someone knows what the latest ati is? [09:44] sabat: are you sure that's the video card model? I can't find it [09:45] linuxpjc780: those two are command line apps, yuou'll need to run them in a terminal. and I recommend reading their man pages too [09:45] sabat: open a terminal and type: lspci | grep VGA [09:45] [01:37] sabat: lspci | grep -i VGA [09:45] What is the best IRC Client besides Mirc with Linux these days? I have used BitchX. [09:46] Curly_Q: many folks use xchat, some use irssi (text-based) [09:46] Curly_Q: Konversation, Xchat, irssi ... [09:46] 01:05.0 VGA compatable controller: ATI Technologies Inc RS482 [Radeon Xpress 200M] [09:46] elo [09:46] Curly_Q: without doubt irssi [09:46] !best | Curly_Q [09:46] Curly_Q: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [09:46] Curly_Q: I use XChat, remember, there is no such thing as "best" software [09:46] pomoże ktoś z konfiguracja rozdzielczości ??

[09:47] ok chcę sie przesiąść na linuxa i nic nie umiem :/ [09:47] ardchoille - OK, so I ran the install command for them in Terminal. Where do I get their manual [pages] - to know how to use them in Terminal (i.e. what commands to enter)? [09:48] I'm using xchat, but in windows I normally use mirc [09:48] I used to use bitchx with the crackrock addon, miss that.

I hope I don't get a bann... [09:48] sabat: sorry, your video card is not supported for newest xorg version; ATI stopped supporting your card (among others) on february 2009 [09:49] sabat: this is the "legacy driver" webpage: http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/linux/Legacy/Pages/radeon_linux.aspx?type=2.7&product=2.7.4.3.3.3.1&lang=English [09:49] ok [09:49] I am using Pirch98 right now. It is one of the best IRC Clients I have ever used. I am looking forward to using Xchat again and others. [09:49] so, does that mean I am SOL, or that I need to install an older driver or what [09:49] http://pastebin.com/GrnB6rQf Can somebody have a look at tis and help me sort out the mount mess [09:49] sabat: if you want to use the proprietary driver, you can install Ubuntu 8.04; not sure if installing and old kernel/xserver would work [09:50] Hi, in ubuntu, i fix 3 lan cards, and ubunntu give name to that lan cards like, eth0, eth1, eth2, Now i remove the 2 lan cards, and only one eth2 remaining, How can i change this eth2 to eth0, from where we can change or clear these ethX name, [09:51] /etc/iftab [09:51] if I install 8.04, and run the updates, will it mess up that driver do you think? [09:51] linuxpjc780: the first thing you should dl with rkhunter is run these two commands: sudo rkhunter --update [09:51] I have seen software that utilizes a Web based program that connects to IRC. Is there one for Linux? [09:51] linuxpjc780: sudo rkhunter --propupd [09:51] sabat: no, it means you need older Linux kernel and Xserver; if you absolutely need to use the proprietary driver install Ubuntu 8.04 LTS; a lot of us are really upset about ATI not supporting our video cards anymore =( anyways the open driver is not bad [09:51] sabat: No, it wont' mess it up [09:52] ola [09:52] just don't upgrade to a newer distro version [09:52] oh, ok [09:52] so just revert, and I should be ok [09:52] will do [09:52] sergio__: ola! precisa digitar /join #ubuntu-br [09:53] Hi, in ubuntu, i fixed 3 lan cards, and ubunntu give name to that lan cards like, eth0, eth1, eth2, Now i removed the 2 lan cards, and only one eth2 remaining, How can i change this eth2 to eth0, from where we can change or clear these ethX name, [09:54] sarthor: check /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules === Mowee is now known as Mowee`Bnc [09:55] Sarthor, why not just put back the original eth0 card in that pci slot? It will see the MAC address of that card. [09:56] rver irc.rizon.net [09:56] Curly_Q, yes, i can do that, but just for learning, i asked. [09:56] OK I understand. [09:57] How can I edit my fstab http://pastebin.com/GrnB6rQf so automount works? [09:57] /kill paddy_melon [09:57] A desktop machine with several users runs 9.10. The users do not have sudo privileges and should not have it either. The machine has two ntfs partitions which the users should be able to mount e.g by clicking the partition name in "Places" [09:57] llutz, thanks bro. [09:57] ardchoille - can you help me configure Firestarter, now that I have it installed? I am on a wireless connection via a router ... [09:57] However, this does not work since I'm guessing internal drives need sudo to mount [09:57] linuxpjc780: I don't use it [09:57] how can the regular desktop users mount the partitions? what is the recommended way? [09:58] sarthor: you even can delete that file, it should be created new with next boot [09:58] Does anyone else know how to configure Firestarter to work as it should - if you are on a wireless connection?

But I still think a clean install is a good idea. I would backup anything in your home partition before formatting. [10:07] yellowbabe - I don't know if ufw is installed. I'm pretty new to Ubuntu ... [10:07] tu quien eres === wet-chan is now known as wet [10:08] knoppies: I plan to backup everything by using this approach - http://lubi.sourceforge.net/lvpm.html [10:08] madjoe: I recommend clean also, 9.04 to 9.10 was crappy thru upgrade [10:09] basajaun: what is the problem? everything seems all right to me. did you create all the mount points directories? [10:09] almoxarife: thanks, dude... I just made a clean install of 9.10 and waiting for a decision on 10.4 [10:09] how can an ip of 99.x.x.x have a subnet mask of 255.255.255.255? [10:09] when can i place order for ubuntu 10.04 [10:10] is there telugu version of ubuntu? [10:11] madjoe: I am going to run 10.4 on virtualbox, then decide if I want to bother with the install, and it will still be a clean install, I finally figured out that keeping the home and etc folders backed up is all one really needs to return the sys to what it was [10:11] almoxarife: you do realize that 10.04 is still in development and hasn't been released yet, right? [10:11] almoxarife: what do you use for a backup? have you tried http://lubi.sourceforge.net/lvpm.html ? [10:12] ardchoille: I do [10:12] ok [10:12] madjoe: nice and simple 'sback' with a gui even [10:12] darolu I have used an app called pysdm and I haven edited the fstab myself but what annoys me id the fact some drive are mounted with another label on reboot so some programs (music) have to rescan for files or give errors === Mowee`Bnc is now known as Mowee [10:13] madjoe: 'sbackup' I mean [10:13] 255.0.0.0=Class A [10:13] 255.255.0.0=Class B [10:13] 255.255.255.0=Class C [10:13] 255.255.255.255=Sub C subnet [10:13] Curly_Q: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [10:13] almoxarife: ok, I'm on it.. [10:14] basajaun: change the mountpoints to whatever your apps are using; right now they are being mounted to /media/sdXX, go to your music app and see what directory is it looking files from and edit your fstab file accordingly; remember you have to create the mount points directories too [10:14] what about the new ubuntu, is it worth the install? [10:14] Curly_Q: 255.255.255.255=ptp [10:15] how can i find out my vga driver installed properly? [10:16] almoxarife: yes, it is neat.

[10:17] linuxpjc780: if your wifi is anything like my setup I would look for wlan0 [10:17] wlan(x) linuxpjc780 [10:18] buenas [10:18] basajaun: open a terminal and type: sudo mkdir /media/ then go to your fstab file (gksu gedit /etc/fstab) and change the mount points accordingly, right now they all are /media/sdXX that's the part you need to change so they match your music app directories [10:18] tuxnani: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=361404 [10:18] ?

Does this mean the software hasn't detected my wireless connection? If so, how do I get it to do so? [10:21] almoxarife: sweet.. thanks for that info about sbackup.. I'm a new Ubuntu user... is it possible to use that user settings automatically on a new installation of the same branch? [10:22] almoxarife: I use wubi installation and I'm looking for nice and easy way to make it a native installation of Ubuntu [10:22] madjoe: I use wubi too [10:23] I plan to make it a real installation... Wubi is an implementation for Windows to run Ubuntu like a program, lot's of risks, simple defragg of NTFS brings system down, bad performance, hard recovery, bad support. [10:23] linuxpjc780: is your connection via wifi? [10:23] Yes - wireless. [10:23] madjoe: backup the data you need and then reinstall [10:24] madjoe: there's no (reasonable) way to migrate from wubi to proper installation [10:24] madjoe: I am waiting for the wubi 10.4 also, suppose to be able to fake it with betas [10:24] almoxarife - the modem is run into a wireless router that then broadcasts the signal, that is. So orignally, its a hard-wired connection. [10:24] madjoe, Tm_T: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=438591 [10:24] Tm_T: I know.. but can I use that backup on a new installation, to avoid all that setup, tweaks and installing custom applications I need?

[10:25] linuxpjc780: try this, restart your machine into ubuntu, bring up firestarter, then see if 'wlan(x) is an option [10:25] madjoe: tar your installation, use live-cd to create a "real" partition, untar your tar to it, repair fstab and grub [10:26] llutz: danke schön [10:28] llutz: how can I repair fstab and grub? do you have some hints for me?

[10:34] hi [10:34] how do i use gdb with an input file for my program [10:34] how do i gdb this program.out < inputfile [10:35] router*, 'special'* [10:35] abhi_nav: so you have to install that apps on your router, not your pc. for "special-sites" think about using a vpn [10:35] abhi_nav, One method of doing what you want to do (not sure if its the best method) is to use an encrypted VPN, but I think ssh might be what your looking for. [10:36] please [10:36] llutz: knoppies : ok [10:36] abhi_nav, some of the better routers have VPN settings in them, but as llutz said, you probably want to install it on your PC, not your router. [10:37] llutz: & knoppies: by router I mean my ISP has given me one box called as router from which I connect to Internet [10:37] almoxarife - yes, the wizard automatically comes up after you open Firestarter. Still no wfla in the Detected Devices drop-down ... [10:37] abhi_nav: if you don't trust your ISP, use your own router [10:37] llutz: hmmm [10:37] if you dont trust your isp.. change isps ? [10:37] or pay for a proxy service. [10:37] Dr_Willis: ^^ :) [10:37] linuxpjc780: wlan [10:37] Dr_willis: haa haa :) [10:37] llutz, abhi_nav, they would still be able to sniff your traffic woudlnt they? [10:38] Dr_Willis, we suggested VPN over Proxy. [10:38] llutz: if I use tar/untar, then I don't need sbackup or anything like that... right? do you think it's a better option? sure, I don't have to manually tweak my new applications again, but is it a secure enough to give it a try? [10:38] almoxarife - wlan, that's what I meant ... still not showing ... [10:38] knoppies: sure they are, question is why they should (as it costs money) [10:38] knoppies: actually I have instaled tor but I dont use it because it slows my speed [10:38] knoppies: Dr_Willis: llutz: is there any free encrypted vpn service? I am student. [10:38] madjoe: i don't know sbackup, i'm using only tar/rsync for this tasks, but other tools may work too [10:39] guys hu [10:39] hi [10:39] any gdb expert here? [10:39] madjoe: you just have to make sure, that all stuff except /dev /proc /sys is copied, and the permissions will be stored too [10:40] llutz, Im not sure what kind of logs they keep, but they could use scripts to do the dirty work. abhi_nav is probably just being paranoid, but here in New Zealand they are comming out with laws to prevent Piracy and the ISPs are obliged to obey the law. [10:40] gud day! can i use squid to log all websites accessed by workstations inside the network? [10:40] knoppies: Dr_Willis: llutz: does vn slows down my speed as that of tor does? [10:40] knoppies: same here in .de but for "antiterror-purposes" :( [10:40] abhi_nav, it depends what kind of VPN you use, in theory yes, will it be noticeable? depends on which vpn you use. === ShapeShifter499_ is now known as fukitfuku [10:41] knoppies: hmm === fukitfuku is now known as ShapeShifter499_ [10:41] The password changing tool in Ubuntu 9.10 does not work [10:42] abhi_nav, my brother uses a free VPN service so that hey gets a US 'external IP' for some websites, I think its called hotspot, but I dont use it myself so Im not sure. [10:42] abhi_nav, as its an open/free/anybody can use it VPN, expect it to be slow. [10:42] abhi_nav: tor is a major slowdown... id hope a vpn is no where near as bad [10:42] abhi_nav: if you want a good service you will have to pay for it. [10:42] ? [10:42] ? [10:42] ? [10:42] knoppies: Dr_Willis: llutz: why I am being paranoid is within last 2 moth my pc was 2 times automatically suddenly shuted down and for 3-4 times automatically logged out. Other reason is that i want to access that 'special sites' [10:42] xfact: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [10:42] Does anyone know how to get Firestarter to detect my wireless network? [10:42] does apt-get has intel3945 wlan driver?? === ShapeShifter499_ is now known as ShapeShifter499 [10:43] abhi_nav: theres paranoid - then there tinfoil hat paranoid. [10:43] Dr_Willis: hmm [10:43] Dr_Willis: :D [10:43] dont install any services you dont need... and so forth.. [10:43] set up an y servces to only listen to local lan.. yadda yadda.... [10:43] Dr_Willis: ok [10:43] abhi_nav, autoshutdown? sounds more like a trojan than your ISP, some random restarts could be caused by an underpowered PSU. [10:44] of course pcs are also able to auto shut down on overheat i belove. [10:44] sounds more like a hardware issue than something spy-related [10:44] knoppies: yah its auto shut down. suddenlly happens [10:44] llutz: with this command you gave me "sudo tar --one-file-system -cvf /media/external/myinstall.tar /" I would tar everything.. so, do you suggest to tar everything except /dev /proc /sys? [10:44] Dr_Willis, sounds more like alienating yourself than being paranoid. talk about OTT. [10:44] Overheat may be one of the majore reason here [10:45] Because my pc really overheats [10:45] hi all, is there a widget/desklet app for ubuntu/gnome with more selection than gdesklets? [10:45] abhi_nav, clean out the dust from your case. try invest in a new case/fans. [10:45] hello [10:45] madjoe: the --one-file-system" prevents /dev, /sys /proc from being backed up, as they are on "own filesystems" (not your /) [10:45] knoppies: yah thinking for it now [10:45] how i can convert a ape file to mp3 with same audio quality ? === KiRiLoR is now known as KiRiLoS [10:45] i use ffmpeg [10:45] !overheating [10:46] mmm [10:46] llutz: wow, that is a valuable info.. thanks again! [10:46] madjoe: if you have separate /home, you have to back it up too [10:46] abhi_nav, my machine restarts on overheating, rather than shutting down. Same would apply for an underpowered PSU. [10:46] llutz: I think I'm ready to go with this approach [10:46] madjoe: try it and check for success before deleting your wubi-inst [10:47] abhi_nav, Im logging off. Hope you find what you looking for. [10:47] hi [10:47] madjoe: and make sure to have a live-cd ready [10:47] knoppies: how to make sure my PSU is not underpowerd? and before that what is PSU? What should ideal temp of my laptop be? its +0.0c now what +0.0 means? [10:47] knoppies: ok [10:47] Dr_Willis: ok === LongNickThatNeve is now known as Kottalizer [10:48] Dr_Willis: llutz: how to make sure my PSU is not underpowerd? and before that what is PSU? What should ideal temp of my laptop be? its +0.0c now what +0.0 means? [10:48] http://www.pastie.org/846596 - Problem with my soundcard since today. Yesterday everything worked fine. But now the kernel doesnt load my soundcard anymore [10:48] if the laptop is reporting 0C - then im guessing it has some issues where it dosent know what its temp is.. Or else you got it in the freezer [10:48] when is the next alpha releasing ? [10:48] !release [10:48] Ubuntu releases a new version every 6 months. Each version is supported for 18 months to 5 years. More info at http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/releases & http://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeBasedReleases [10:49] Dr_Willis: No :) its not in the freezer. How to correct this temp prob? [10:49] apparle: alp3 was like yesterday.. so next is Beta i think [10:49] Dr_Willis: link me to alpha3 [10:49] abhi_nav: no idea. check the forums for your exact make laptop [10:49] apparle: #ubuntu+1 [10:49] Dr_Willis: is it that my temp sensors are not woking? [10:50] i get I get a sigsegv in XF86DRIQueryExtension () from /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 when running fglrxinfo, glxgears etc. :( === fs-laptop is now known as spychalski [10:50] abhi_nav: if its reading 0C - then I would think - its NOT working [10:50] Dr_Willis: so where should I start with temp troubleshooting now? any link? any doc,manual etc? [10:51] Hallo, i have a question and i hope anyone can help me [10:51] !ask | sulo [10:51] sulo: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [10:51] Oh Ok^^ [10:51] abhi_nav: >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> check the forums for your exact make laptop [10:51] Humm I am now from empathy [10:52] Dr_Willis: ok! fine thnx [10:52] a little OT, but i'm setting up a dualstack server ipv6 server on a system i'm using. if i can connect to 127.0.0.1 locally, it should mean that its listening on ipv4 right? [10:52] i want to install Ubuntu notebook remix, and i have 3 Partion [10:52] xp, data, and a free partition [10:53] hi all, how would I change my default file explorer? There doesn't seem to be a place in 'preferred applications' for swapping out nautilus with something else [10:53] Netbook remix [10:53] I can'y connect to vodafone NZ dongle on 9.10 [10:53] yes [10:53] someone speky germn ^^ [10:53] german [10:53] !de | sulo [10:53] sulo: In den meisten ubuntu-Kanälen wird nur Englisch gesprochen.

[10:56] !PSU [10:56] abhi_nav: power supply unit [10:56] llutz: hmm [10:57] jbu: doing such a 'swap' is not trivial. [10:57] Anybody knows a good alternative for an image viewer that is capable to show animated gifs? [10:57] Or is there a working patch for the default viewer? [10:59] madjoe: I suppose firefox is too clumsy? at least it works.. I think [11:00] Slart: lol... it is... very clumsy [11:00] Slart: it's like cutting a slice of bread with a chainsaw :) [11:01] madjoe: or.. in this case.. cutting a several years old, moldy, smelly bread with a chainsaw =) [11:02] Slart: errr... cutting a slice of a bread was my metaphor for viewing animated gifs :) [11:03] exit [11:05] gimp can view animat gifs :) [11:05] wine irfanview.exe [11:06] madjoe: and I think of animated gifs as something from the dusty graveyard of the web.. something best left alone.. undisturbed =) [11:06] I am running9.10 and I have no sound. It just crackles. Someone help!! [11:06] I dont understand how to understand the time for ubuntu-classroom. UTC to local time conversion. How to do that. date -u says its 11.00 now. And in ubuntu-classroom schedule there is one lecture for 11.00. But now there seemns to be no lecture. How to solve this time issue? [11:06] Slart: then we have a match in understanding tho... lol :D [11:06] madjoe: gwenview shows animated-gifs [11:06] madjoe: it seems gthumb can at least show animated gifs.. it seems the timing might be off though [11:07] madjoe: but it's kde/qt [11:07] Slart: yes it does... but I didn't try it.. is gthumb descent comparing with the default image viewer? [11:08] madjoe: I have no idea.. never tried it myself [11:08] ok [11:08] how to connect pidgin to yahoo [11:09] exploit100: ........... [11:09] exploit100: add accounts -> yahoo [11:09] its not that friggin hard [11:09] l2g [11:09] !UTC [11:10] full email adreesse? [11:11] not connecting to yahoo yet [11:11] exploit100: try... see what happends [11:11] pls help [11:13] BUONGIORNO a tutti [11:13] che software si può utilizzare per fare montaggi video? [11:14] I have a question - is it hard to do a fresh install of Ubuntu 9.10? I have my computer dual-booted with Linux and Windows (i.e. drive is partitioned)? Can I simply re-install Ubuntu 9.10 fresh on the current partition it sits on? [11:14] I think I might have gotten a virus or two. [11:15] sure "linuxpjc780" [11:15] Hello, i have made a hidden file and i cant find it... how do i open it? [11:15] hystreni: ctrl+h in nautilus to make it show hidden files [11:15] exploit100 - OK, so how do I do this? [11:15] linuxpjc780: virus on ubuntu? [11:16] Slart, thansk ^ [11:16] hystreni: but hidden files act just as normal files.. it's just a dot in the filename [11:16] install? [11:17] apparle - I don't know. I'm running "Virus Scanner" (the ClamTk app) on the IBM_Preload. It's only 10 percent done - and it's already telling me it's found 8 viruses. Is this BS? [11:17] linuxpjc780: depends on what its found [11:17] not connecting yet "frankS2" [11:18] Dr_Willis_: +1 [11:18] If its found stuff in your WarezTorrents directory... well..... :) [11:18] after add the Userid is it automically connect? [11:18] linuxpjc780: I don't think there are any viruses for linux going around.. clam is more oriented towards finding windows viruses.. which doesn't affect your linux machine === mlRism is now known as mlRismH [11:19] which software for manipulate video ? [11:19] wine windowsvirusinstaler.exe :) [11:19] Slart - so then why is it saying it has found viruses? [11:19] linuxpjc780: pastebin the output of what its found... [11:19] llutz: it seems like gthumb is more advanced than Eye of Gnome http://packages.debian.org/hu/sid/debug/gthumb-dbg [11:19] Its not scanning your windows files is it? :) [11:20] linuxpjc780: because it has? read what I wrote again.. [11:21] Dr_Willis - I don't know. Does "Virus Scanner" scan the Windows files too? Slart - yes, Virus Scanner says it has found viruses. [11:21] ubuntu-it-chat [11:22] in your windows ? [11:23] linuxpjc780: if you told it a path where it can find windows files.. yes it does [11:23] linuxpjc780: clam is mostly for searching for windows viruses.. there are very few, if any, linux viruses going around... so.. if you run clam on your linux machine and scans, for example, an external drive that is infected with a windows virus (from dualbooting or something like that) it will tell you that is has found a virus.. does this mean your linux machine is infected? no [11:23] haloooo....i'm newby. [11:24] kmon achen miyabi? [11:24] yes.. [11:24] micheleainardi, try kdenlive or openshot [11:25] where are from? [11:25] jawa [11:25] I think I should just do a fresh install of Ubuntu. How do I do this. My drive is partioned. With Ubuntu on one, and Windows XP on the other. [11:25] ??? [11:25] linuxpjc780: tell the installer to put / where your / is at. [11:26] linuxpjc780: but whats this going to acomplish? [11:26] same thing "linuxpjc780" [11:26] Greetings Gentlemen [11:27] because of a known bug for VirtualBox and karmic amd64, i have to recompile a kernel [11:27] so i followed that how to http://blog.avirtualhome.com/2009/11/03/how-to-compile-a-kernel-for-ubuntu-karmic/ [11:27] Dr_Willis - I don't understand your first statement. What do you mean by "/ ". If I do a fresh install, won't it wipe out any infection that could be there? [11:28] #ubuntu-it [11:28] #ubuntu-it-chat [11:28] linuxpjc780: ' / ' is the root of the filesystem. You have one partion mounted to / you also have one set as home [11:28] linuxpjc780: you could have other partitons mounted as /home or /var/ or other /XXXXX locations but / is the 'root' of the filesystem [11:29] You may want to read up on linux filesystems a bit. [11:29] right [11:29] but while running (as mentionned ) the ./debian/scripts/misc/kernelconfig oldconfig, i get this error : ./debian/scripts/misc/kernelconfig: line 142: /home/sidh/devpt/kernel/lucid/source//scripts/misc/../config-check: No such file or directory [11:29] !lfs [11:29] LFS is linux from scratch www.linuxfromscratch.org; not to be confused with LTS which is the long term support version of ubuntu (6.06 and 8.04) [11:29] Hmm perhaps its !LSB [11:29] !lsb [11:29] The Linux Standard Base, or LSB, is a joint project by several Linux distributions under the organizational structure of The Free Standards Group to standardize the internal structure of Linux-based operating systems. The LSB is based on the POSIX specification, the Single UNIX Specification, and several other open standards, but extends them in certain areas. [11:29] !fsh [11:29] Heh -no url to the default layout :) [11:29] Slart: gThumb is a very good replacement for Eye of Gnome.. I just tried it [11:29] of course config-check is in ./debian/scripts/config-check (find command tells me that) [11:30] madjoe: ah.. great [11:30] do you know how to correct this [11:30] ? [11:31] Slart: I'm in my Nautilus now.. where do I set it as a default image viewer? [11:31] !fs [11:31] Dr_Willis - Yes, pardon me. I'm new to Ubuntu :) So would a re-installation of Ubuntu be: #1) a complicated process? #2) Successfully clean out any infections? [11:32] madjoe: I'm not sure if there is one setting where you can change the app for all images.. you can right click on a file and select properties, open with and set the default app for that file type.. but I think you'll have to do that for each file type [11:32] first time you installed your self ? linuxpjc === orion is now known as Guest42633 [11:33] exploit100 - no, I had someone walk me through it on here ... [11:33] oh i see [11:34] you mean to say you can not install UbUNTU? [11:35] linuxpjc780: #1 - im not ure you ARE infected at all. and reinstalling dosent take me very long. tell it to use / on your old install.. let it reformat.. go get a soda.. === Damo is now known as Dam0 [11:37] hey [11:38] exploit - I haven't done it before on my own. I think "Virus Scanner" is scanning Windows directories, as I watching the path names it is searching ... So how do I do this? I have an IBM Thinkpad. I would reinsert the install discs while still in Ubuntu. And where do you tell it to use the root on my old install? I'm sorry - but I'm still pretty new to all this ... [11:39] Slart: haha... I don't believe there's an easier option on setting the default application in Nautilus... :D [11:41] linuxpjc780: if its showing you got Windows viruses on your windows install. then its nothing todo with Linux at all. [11:41] linuxpjc780: sounds like you may be wanting to reinstall windows.. not linux [11:42] lol === simon_ is now known as Guest52528 [11:44] Dr_Willis_- That's odd. I could I get a Windows virus while in Ubuntu? === Tommy_ is now known as Guest61852 [11:45] linuxpjc780: we never said that.. Its more likely you got windows viruses while on windows.... [11:46] anyone known a way for to input a video from S_Video? [11:47] can I open video playing into a videocamera from S-Video? [11:47] micheleainardi: yes [11:47] gustin: which software? [11:47] you need a video card with S-video out, and it needs to be supported by Linux [11:48] use tvtime [11:48] argh, i can't get flash to work as it should (cant click on the videos and stufff [11:48] you are sending from your computer to an S-Video device, right? [11:48] or xawtv [11:48] Hey, guys! Do you know this girl? Is she here btw? LOL Well, if she uses Ubuntu, I'd like to be her slave! LMAO http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gl-tmGfQrzs [11:48] gustin: no.. I have video into videocamera. It has S-video out . so I can input from my pc S-Video? [11:49] Dr_Willis_- I would probably be fine with just reformating so that I would only be running Ubuntu. I don't trust Windows anyway - when it's slower and less secure. So what is the point of having it dual-booted? [11:49] micheleainardi: then you need a specific video card for this, I have used hauppage PCI cards in the past for this [11:49] micheleainardi svideo on a Video card is video OUT. You need somthign with an Svideo IN. [11:49] anyone know of a way to check system hardward within linux to try find out why it keeps switching off at times ? [11:49] micheleainardi: Like a TV tuner card. [11:50] I need to by wirefire (or firewire) cable [11:50] :( [11:50] linuxpjc780: dual booting will cause more grief than it is worth unless you know what you are doing. Pick one OS and stick with it (or get two computers) [11:50] Firewire transfers from a camcorder will be a LOT faster [11:50] hi [11:51] and look better [11:51] micheleainardi: I have never done this with firewire, sorry [11:51] ok.. tahnk's [11:51] I got a camcorder that actrually shows up as a USB hd. === PhilMather is now known as zz_PhilMather [11:51] mine does as well, I have a cheap chinese one that uses SD cards === zz_PhilMather is now known as PhilMather [11:51] gustin - what kind of grief will it cause in the long run? The only reason I did this originally - was that in case one OS or partition failed, I would have backup. [11:52] which is the best instant messanging client? which you use? [11:52] other than pidgin [11:52] linuxpjc780: it is very easy to trash the boot loader. One only needs to be moderately profficient to keep dual booting working [11:52] linuxpjc780: but IMO it is not worth the time === cwe_moetz is now known as thania_cute [11:53] gustin - what is IMO? And when you say "trash the boot loader" - do you mean "mess it up"? [11:54] in my opinion [11:54] linuxpjc780: IMO = In My Opinion, as in I do not wish to indicate that this is some sort of accepted truth [11:55] I prefer having a dual boot,I use linux about 95% of the time, but every now and then I like to load something with wine (games mostly) like WoW is one of them. [11:55] http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/installing = linuxpjc780 [11:56] linuxpjc780: and yes, trash the boot loader means to mess it up. For example, re-installing windows will overwrite the boot loader, and Linux will not be selectable at boot. It will appear to have vanished. THis is easy to fix but it will take time, particularly if this is all new to you [11:57] gnomemercy: that is why I stated that it is my opinion. It is cheaper for me to have a seperate computer instead of wasting time fixing the odd dual boot issue. [11:57] gnomemercy: besides I use either vmware or virtual box for most of my Windows "needs". Other than for gaming this works well. [11:59] ggd [12:00] nick ce cute sweaty [12:00] How do I enable guest account? I thought I did it via Users and groups, but none exists in GDM. === cowok_setya is now known as cew [12:01] safe, is it possible to enable through gdm configuration? Or look at /etc/passwd and change the login shell from something like /bin/false or /usr/sbin/nologin to /bin/sh === ce_cinta is now known as ce_manis [12:02] t [12:02] I just installed ubuntu and then UNetbootin which edited the grub2 configuration to add an item. The grub2 bootloader is not showing me any grub menu and this is irritting me because now I can not select the Unetbootin option. [12:02] I have tried looking in the /etc/grub.d/ config files and regenerating the grub config but I cannot seem to get it to wait 10secs [12:03] Industrial, edit /etc/default/grub for the timeout [12:03] Industrial, there's a variable GRUB_TIME="" you set then when dun run update-grub2 === geek__ is now known as faileas [12:05] Unetbootin edited your grub's menu? Never seen it do that befor. [12:05] Dr_Willis, yea strange isn't it, I thought unetbootin was syslinux-based [12:06] stdisease: it had a HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0 HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true <-- EVIL. === darksector is now known as teabag [12:06] Hi, I installed ubuntu server, and I have now attached 2 harddrives for raid0 on the motherboard as software, how can i make ubuntu see tese ones? [12:06] stdisease: ive neer seen it alter anything OTHER then the usb drive you point it to. Im not sure what you were doing withit. [12:08] Dr_Willis, it's Industrial's question, just for the record [12:09] excuse me but i'm not used with ubuntu irc chans, so is there some specific dev chans dedicated to ubuntu ? [12:09] stdisease: I can't choose "Dont ask for password on login" for the guest account. [12:09] sidh, there's #ubuntu+1 for pre-release/development [12:10] frankS2: you are using motherboard bios raid (aka fakeraid) ? [12:10] ah ok thanks you for the info [12:10] anyone experiencing umlaut-problems after an update on an ubuntu server box as well? [12:10] erUSUL: yes [12:11] frankS2: if you are going to use that only in linux is better not to. Use linux software raid stack [12:11] erUSUL: i am only going to use it in linux yes [12:12] frankS2: then cnfigure the sata controller as ahci or normal sata (not raid) and assemble a raid array for linux to use using mdadm [12:12] !raid | frankS2 [12:12] frankS2: Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [12:14] huh flimsy grammar on the 1st article [12:14] hi all [12:15] anyone know why terminal doesnt seem to recognise the cd.. command? [12:15] richbecause there is no such command. you can, however, "cd .." [12:15] richzilla^ [12:15] richzilla: you are thinking DOS [12:15] (as appreciated as the user contribution is) [12:15] dos - where you can be sloppy with spaces... [12:15] frankS2: http://bfish.xaedalus.net/2006/11/software-raid-5-in-ubuntu-with-mdadm/ <<<< in this blog he uses 3 devices to create a raid 5 just make the changes to make a raid 1 or 0 [12:15] Richie, in other distros (Mandriva for 1) it's an alias for "cd .." [12:16] ahhh [12:16] how about '..' for an alias? :) or can that work? [12:16] richzilla, you can either get used to the more correct form, or define an alias in your .bashrc [12:16] ahhh thanks for the help [12:16] dont knwo how ive never spotted the apce before [12:16] space [12:18] http://pastie.org/846638 [12:18] could some disk experts take a look at this? [12:18] new problem... cant create/remove partitions [12:18] why is the ubuntu installer only seeing one hdd while gparted can see both fine? [12:19] huh 1TB does NetBSD even need that much space!.. [12:19] stdisease: no heh [12:19] lol @ stdisease [12:19] o0, what needs 1tb to install? [12:20] frankS2: seems to complain that the paritions/disk are in use (mounted) [12:20] erUSUL: but they are not [12:20] i'm trying to install a 3G modem with the help of the usb_modeswitch utility. the problem is however that when it comes to the point where it says "Looking for active driver" it should find the usb-storage driver, but doesn't. instead i get "No driver found. Either detached befor or never attached" [12:20] see what the mount command says? [12:20] is there a way to make it find the usb-storage driver? [12:20] Dr_Willis_: checked, its not [12:20] frankS2: not much experience with bsd paritions ... [12:21] actually if they are ntfs - the gvfs may have them mounted/inuse. [12:21] You could use gparted to delete the ones you want to use. and lket the installer remake partions in the unallocated space [12:21] erUSUL: i want to rm all of them and use them in linux [12:21] erUSUL: just need to fix the hd, cuz i cant use them now heh [12:21] frankS2: sdb and sdc ? [12:21] frankS2: delete them in gparted then. reboot.. let installer do its thang [12:21] Which software is used to password protect a particular folder? [12:21] erUSUL: yes [12:22] linduxed, 'modprobe usb-stroage' ? [12:22] abhi_nav: for home folder encription ecryptfs is used [12:22] HOLA ALGUIEN SABE ESPAÑOL [12:22] !es | leon702 [12:22] leon702: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [12:22] !es | leon702 : aqui hablan espanol [12:22] frankS2: create new parition tables in both devices. with gparted [12:22] leon702 : aqui hablan espanol: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [12:22] erUSUL not for home folder. its just one of the folder e.g. /home/abc/desktop/test [12:23] stdisease: didn't help [12:23] erUSUL: i can do that with sdb , but i cant format it, in sdc i get the error: FATAL ERROR: Bad primary partition 3: Partition ends in the final partial cylinder [12:23] stdisease: unless i should reboot the comp too [12:23] abhi_nav: it can be any folder. i'm saying what ubuntu uses for the home encription i case you want to use the same [12:23] linduxed, well the usb-storage kernel module is probably loaded now, if that does nothing it's probably another driver that should be loaded [12:23] frankS2: that's why i ask you to make new parition tables (not new paritions) [12:23] frankS2: that's why i ask you to make new parition tables (not new partitions) [12:24] erUSUL: oh how? [12:24] erUSUL i want to share my home folder with frends. but want to lock that only one folder. all other folder wll be accesd. [12:24] abhi_nav: it is better to create a third folder to share things and leave your home folder to you [12:25] frankS2: gparted (gui) or parted (cli) [12:25] erUSUL i dont mean network sharing. just want to lock a specific folder with password [12:25] hey everyone... [12:25] abhi_nav, you will want to edit your smb.conf file and customize your shares [12:25] I dont mean network sharing [12:25] .com [12:25] hi there. i installed an update today and now i can't acess https sites! [12:25] Hello mylisto2 [12:25] some weird issues just started on my laptop (running 8.04) [12:26] Just got back from work, went to jump on skype and yahoo (pidgin)... [12:26] abhi_nav: i undesrtand. but your home folder has your configuration files etc... trust me it is easier and safer to just create a /home/shared folder to share the things you want to share with other users [12:26] yahoo won't stay open..it opens then closes automatically.. [12:26] and skype is doing the same thign basically [12:26] mylisto2, can you launch them from a terminal and see what output it gives when those applications close? [12:27] ah never thought baout that [12:27] about that [12:27] brb [12:27] erUSUL ok tell me can i have a script or something like that which wll delete my specific unpreviledge account if i dont open that unpreviledged account for 'n' number of days? can i write such scritp by my own? is it availabve already? [12:28] abhi_nav: really dunno from the top of my head. you would have to do some research [12:28] erUSUL hmm ok [12:28] stdisease: it just says aborted in terminal [12:29] !list [12:29] This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » [12:30] mylisto2, same for the 2nd app? [12:30] stdisease: here is a pastebin of what I get in terminal when pidgin crashes [12:30] http://pastebin.com/2tNyPYMq [12:30] stdisease: well ill try forcing the module in some way === diego is now known as Guest18170 [12:31] mylisto2, hmm, I've seen those errors usually when you update libc6. Can you see if there are any updates to glib and libpurple and install them? [12:32] mylisto2, use aptitude or whatever software you usually use to install things [12:33] stdisease: what do you mean? [12:33] mylisto2, from terminal, 'sudo aptitude' [12:33] mylisto2, then look at the list of packages available for update, updated them all if possible then see if crash still happens [12:33] kaixo [12:33] 'ello, i've had some trouble with wifi, so i decided to reboot, after rebooting the system wanted to do a disk check, so i let it [12:33] after the system booted up all my nvidia drivers were lost [12:33] mylisto2, stdisease : is it not a font problem ? === kaolbrec|sleep is now known as kaolbrec [12:34] http://packages.ubuntu.com/sl/dapper/libc6-udeb [12:34] nexsja, booted into another kernel version? you'll have to reinstall the nvidia driver [12:34] i've downloaded 190 drivers from nvidia website, though i can't install them, says something about my gcc-4.4 version and that i don't have my kernel sources [12:34] stdisease, yes, i've recently updated the kernel version [12:35] thought that would be a good idea :/ [12:35] hi.. my computer is in suspend mode, and i cant leave the suspend mode anymore. Pressing the power button doesnt do anything. Any ideas? [12:35] nexsja, install kernel sources or headers and use 'CC=gcc-4.3 sh NVIDIA-installer-xxx.sh' [12:35] phpmonk: how would I know if its a font problem? [12:35] your compiler is 4.4 while it wants 4.2, you can just bypass that [12:35] hey i have some problem with compiz, i use the wall and after update i cant drag windows between desktops [12:35] without suspend mode, my notebook is senseless [12:35] wonder if anyone can make sense of this: im running karmic and keep getting 'partial update' option, when clicking on it it wants to upgrade my distro? [12:36] nexsja: When you use a different method other than the ubuntu provided method (sys>admin>hardware drivers) you will have to reinstall the nvidia driver after each kernel update [12:36] soreau, thank you, got that :) now, all i need to do is download the new kernel sources? [12:36] nexsja, CC=gcc-4.3 assuming the kernel was compiled with gcc 4.3.x , if the kernel was compiled with another version of course you'll have to pass what's appropriate like viliny said [12:36] hello i require some help with Samba... i have a folder that i want to share to everyone on the netowrk but only i can edit [12:37] Gyjf: Is ccsm>Wall>Edge Flipping>Edge Flip Move enabled? [12:37] If i use Write List = yon and read only = yes i can access it but cannot create files [12:37] does uname -a show my kernel version? [12:37] uname -r [12:38] nexsja: uname -r and you probably just need to install the kernel headers [12:38] Package kernel-headers is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source [12:39] nexsja, each and every kernel version has it's own header [12:39] Thankyou soreau, it worked! [12:39] Gyjf: Great :) [12:39] looked for 30 min and couldnt find the option [12:39] viliny, so i've downloaded 2.6.32 kernel sources === surf is now known as damnn [12:39] Since Ubuntu 9.10 has the later version of APT (with support for i386 packages on amd64)... how can I add a i386 repository and install from it in AMD64 land? [12:39] nexsja: Yes, you need to install the kernel header version for your kernel as reported by uname -r [12:39] nexsja, what exactly does your uname -r return? === cowok_setya is now known as cew [12:40] 2.6.32-020632-generic [12:40] Hi I formatted a partition under win7 and I can't read it with ubuntu. Gparted says it's sda7 but if I mount -t ntfs it does not show properly. Any idea? [12:40] lantizia, which i386 packages do you need installed? The 32-bit compatibility stuff? you don't need i386 repo for that fyi [12:40] damnn, did you format it fatx? [12:41] lantizia, no it's ntfs [12:41] damnn, try -t ntfs-3g [12:41] stdisease, no it's not that - it's a game that has a 32bit only APT repo [12:41] why is 9.10 labelled as #56-Ubuntu ? [12:41] can anyone help me with my samba comfiguration (http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/kkHQ11yK) i want to make a directory accessable to everyone but only i can add and remove stuff [12:41] PLz help :) [12:42] viliny, i've downloaded 2.6.32 kernel sources and extracting them now, then, when i'm installing new drivers i need to do --kernel-source-path , right? [12:42] nexsja, you can download deb packages too [12:42] such a timesaver [12:42] stdisease, it does not work either [12:42] viliny, I think the source/header debs are borken for nexsja [12:42] nexsja: It should be able to figure out here the headers are on its own I would think [12:42] nexsja, http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ [12:43] damn use #sudo fdisk -l to check the table first [12:44] stdisease, so... i need to install something, or just downloading the kernel sources and directing nvidia installer to them will be enough? [12:44] hi all [12:44] nexsja, you will need to copy the config file from under /boot to the extracted directory src-linux/.config and then 'make prepare' before you'll be able to use it [12:44] please how do i chmod a directory with all files/sub directorys? [12:45] DelphiWorld: which directory ? [12:45] chmod *user* -R *directory* [12:45] erUSUL: /usr/local/freeswitch [12:45] yon: chmod does not accpt user as parameter [12:45] nexsja, it's best if you figure out a way to install kernel headers/sources from the apt system, though [12:45] erUSUL: i want to chmod it to 777 [12:46] my bad chown i was thingking of [12:46] :P [12:46] how can i reaload the fstab ? [12:46] DelphiWorld: why you need to do that? it soes not look a safe thing to do. what s the problem exactly ? [12:46] chmod 0777 -R ?directory [12:46] Hi I formatted a partition under win7 and I can't read it with ubuntu. Gparted says it's sda7 but if I mount -t ntfs it does not show properly. Any idea? [12:46] Has anyone had experience with a failing hard drive causing shred to fall over and backtrace? [12:46] pw-toxic_: sudo mount -o remount -a [12:46] nexsja, easiest would be to use http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ to download a new kernel and the appropriate headers and update-grub to make your grub include the new installed kernel when you boot next time and then go ahead and install the nvidia drivers and just answer no when it complains about gcc compiler version and you're set :) [12:47] erUSUL, using winSCP... to edit some files, but i need to sudo and i can't sudo from winSCP [12:47] damn first check the partition table with #sudo fdisk -l [12:47] can anyone help me with a problem with samba and the read only command [12:47] erUSUL: sory my dear there is a lot of trafic here, can we chat privatly? i am blind and i can't see your messages;) [12:47] viliny, okay, so i need to download headers, image and source, right? [12:47] DelphiWorld: use putty to connect via ssh and get a cli [12:48] [::AmSg::] I am now [AFK: asleep ] [12:48] DelphiWorld: ok [12:48] DelphiWorld, k it says ID: 7 System: HPFS/NTFS [12:48] stdisease: what do want me to do? [12:48] sudo aptitude and then what? [12:48] erUSUL: i can use putty, lol but editores problem like nano, vi, vim and ... accessibility problems [12:48] damn okay wait [12:48] mylisto2, then update any packages that need updating [12:48] DelphiWorld: well the command is. chmod -R 777 /usr/local/freeswitch [12:48] DelphiWorld: still think is not a good idea [12:49] DelphiWorld, I also have the win 7 root which is NTFS - but I can see that. In fstab is not mentioned but I can see the "OS" disk on the desktop automatically mounted [12:49] damn Isn't it showing in Nautilas File Manager's side pane? [12:50] ManiDhillon, no [12:50] viliny, after i've downloaded headers, source and image (dpkg) i need to run them all and then run 'update-grub', did i get it right? :) [12:50] frick... [12:50] nexsja, yes pretty much :) [12:50] I just upgraded firefox and I lost all of my damn bookmarks :( [12:50] damn what's the partition number? sda? [12:51] sda7 [12:51] viliny, does it matter in what order i install those packages? :) [12:51] stdisease: to update do I just press u? [12:51] try this #sudo mount /dev/sda7 /mnt [12:51] hi [12:51] damn try this #sudo mount /dev/sda7 /mnt [12:52] mylisto2, go to each available updates and press '+' , after you've done selecting press 'g' twice and wait for it to download and install then preferably restart the desktop or the whole system and see if crash is still there [12:52] ManiDhillon, nothin happens [12:52] Check in the mnt direcotry. IS there anything. [12:52] stdisease: how do I go to each available update? [12:53] damn Check in the mnt direcotry. IS there anything. [12:53] ManiDhillon, no [12:53] Hmmm, Is their a previous entry for this drive in fstab? [12:54] damn Hmmm, Is their a previous entry for this drive in fstab? [12:54] i386 on amd64 -- there was a THING THING!!! come on people you know what I mean surely!... some extra work was done on dpkg/apt to make it possible - anyone got a clue what I mean? [12:54] does anyone know how to setup a torrent program to use only a vpn connection? [12:54] ManiDhillon, yeah I setted it now. But when I booted there was nothing [12:55] mylisto2, there should be a list titled 'Upgradable Packages', open it with the Enter key. if there isn't then your system is up to date. [12:55] lantizia: debian and derivatives do not support mixed arch afaik [12:55] Or is there a way to have my laptop connect only through a vpn? [12:55] damn that's quite a problem. Mostly when you have a partition, Ubuntu automatically detects it. [12:55] mylisto2, if you usually install updates another way do that instead, whatever is more comfortable to you. [12:55] can I do this threw synpatic package manager? [12:56] * sidh 's upgrading to lucid, and just hope he won't get the karmic amd64 bug with virtualbox [12:56] erUSUL, _YES_ yes they do... with this new thing [12:56] lantizia: if you are that sure you do not need our help [12:56] erUSUL, I just need reminding what it was called! [12:57] stdisease: something is seriously up with this machine.. [12:57] when I try to open synatpic package manager I get "Failed to run /usr/sbin/synaptic as user root. [12:57] Unable to copy the user's Xauthorization file." [12:57] hello everyone, anybody has had problems with ubuntu and skype (very very very low volume) ??? [12:57] lantizia, well there is a --force-architecture when installing directly from .deb files via dpkg, beyond that idk [12:57] ManiDhillon, I know that. And that's the problem :( [12:57] stdisease, no not that [12:58] damn try reformatting it to FAT32, may be that will solve the problem. [12:58] I know this not the proper place, but where do ettercap save the log files? [12:59] ManiDhillon, no I wanted to have files larger than 4gigs === ce_sany is now known as cwe_moetz [13:00] damn, Hmmm then why don't you format it in EXT4 format. That will be easy. [13:01] Anyone may explain me how is possible that my HD according to fdisk has 255 heads???? XD [13:02] LOL!! [13:02] watch out about ext4 format, the benefits is only for certain situation (very large files and so on) and the portability among other unix distros is not there [13:02] (no ext4 support for bsd* or (open)solaris) for example [13:03] erUSUL, stdisease: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MultiarchSpec [13:03] sidh Well then always there is ext3. Well and most distros support ext3 and ext4. [13:03] FOUND IT! :D [13:04] stdisease: mind if pm you? [13:04] now upgrade beta test 10.4 from stable version kubuntu? [13:04] ManiDhillon: when i was installing ubuntu minimal cd, i wonder about ext3 or ext4, then i check the improvement for ext4, and for my laptop i 'm still with ext3 [13:04] mylisto2, go ahead [13:05] anyone using Firefox 3.0.18 everytime I start it up it checks for add on updates [13:05] sidh, I am having Ubuntu 9.10 with EXT4 and Slackware 13 with EXT3 while it also support EXT4. And Having CentOS with EXT3 bcoz they will add support for EXT4 in only next release. [13:06] !upgrade [13:06] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [13:06] ManiDhillon: i'm not talking about ext4 support among linux distro (of course above a certain version of kernel, ext4 is supported everywhere) i'm just talking about extX support among other Unix OS [13:06] mylisto2, if you launched Firefox as sudo you probably need to chown your ~/.mozilla directory to your user name [13:06] !net [13:06] !network [13:06] Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [13:06] stdisease: I didn't [13:06] sidh, I agree with you. Some direct Unix variants don't support EXT system. [13:07] ok distupgrade finished , let's reboot and pray [13:07] mylisto2, ah just a possibility [13:07] hi there... [13:08] hi. is there a way to have flash working on amd64 system inside a 64-bit browser ? [13:09] I am using chrome, and I have the packages installed: [13:09] sobersabre: yes (and have been for years) install flahsplugin-nonfree [13:09] i am using mythbuntu in a huge lcd tv...i downloaded maximumtvguide but can't read anything since fonts are too small...used qtsettings to change font size but got no results...any d [13:09] idea? [13:09] anyone know how to setup a connection to only connect via vpn? [13:09] erUSUL: I have: flashplugin-installer 10.0.42.34ubuntu0.9.10.1 [13:09] sobersabre: ok; works in firefox ? [13:10] hmm... lemme check. [13:10] sobersabre: i have ubuntu 64 bits and it works for me in firefox and in chromium (daily build ppa) [13:10] I am on chromme usually. [13:10] sidh, well are you using any Solaris derivative? [13:10] erUSUL: I think I have the same version of chrome... moment. [13:11] sobersaber, have you installed ubuntu restricted extras? [13:12] ok: ff works. [13:13] i am using mythbuntu in a huge lcd tv...i downloaded maximumtvguide but can't read anything since fonts are too small...used qtsettings to change font size but got no results...any idea? [13:13] ff 3.5.5 [13:13] sobersabre, have you installed ubuntu restricted extras? After I installed everything worked fine [13:13] AceOfSpades: I think I have everything, since I don't have problems with listening to mp3s, watching movies with VLC, etc. [13:14] sobersabre: as i said it works for chromium too [13:14] I have this: Google Chrome 5.0.335.0 dev [13:15] erUSUL: can you point me out to the chromium ppa you're using ? [13:15] sobersabre: moment [13:15] I will upgrade I think. Is there any difference in "about" for you ? [13:15] sobersabre, I was having a problem with flash, and after I installed ubuntu restricted extras everything worked fin [13:15] sobersabre: deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/chromium-daily/ppa/ubuntu karmic main [13:16] hi [13:16] erUSUL: trying... [13:16] hi [13:16] ne1 else got problems w/ false(?) error reports from gnome-disk-utility (Palimpsest) [13:17] hey everyone [13:17] stdisease: that didn't do the trick... [13:17] mylisto2, guessing it didn't work since you're back.. [13:17] something is very very wrong with my system [13:17] I just opened my damn irc client, and I realized that something is wrong with it.. [13:17] it used to show a ton of different networks to join (freenode, etc..etc..)... [13:17] they were all wiped out [13:18] mylisto2, xchat? me too === rootasdf is now known as rootbeard [13:18] yeah xchat [13:18] offtopic?? [13:19] I'm wondering what the hell is going on [13:20] even thunderbird seems affected [13:20] hi chandran [13:20] my automatically detected raid device always shows up as md_d0 instead of md0. is that the default now? [13:20] mylisto2: Have you looked over your system logs for anything abnormal? [13:20] rob_p: not sure how to do that [13:21] erUSUL: what [13:21] mylisto2: They are located in /var/log [13:21] I wouldn't even know what to look for [13:21] mylisto2: Give them a gander and see if it yields any clues. [13:21] erUSUL: what's the command to fetch a key from the keyserver by it's PUB id ? [13:21] is there a reason the ubuntu installer is only showing me my first hdd? [13:21] rob_p: what one should I look at? [13:22] is there some kind of apt-key adv command ? [13:22] how can I start my software raid5 array automaticaly on boot? /etd/mdadm/mdadm.conf contains 'DEVICE /dev/hd*[0-9] /dev/sd*[0-9]' and the result of mdadm --detail --scan but it doesn't work [13:23] rob_p: can I pm you? [13:23] mylisto2: The system log would be a good place to start. You may have to go through many of them to assess what (if anything) happened to cause your issues. [13:23] what ones are the system logs? [13:23] mylisto2: yeah [13:23] kurti_: you need something like this: ARRAY /dev/md0 level=raid5 num-devices=6 UUID= [13:24] kurti_: you don't need the device-line, you only need that basically [13:24] hey.. anyone from denamrk in here ? [13:24] denmark* [13:25] i am using mythbuntu in a huge lcd tv...i downloaded maximumtvguide but can't read anything since fonts are too small...used qtsettings to change font size but got no results...any idea?

[15:40] sidh: lucid is not related to karmic in terms of fix resolution [15:40] ikonia: it is a kernel parameter problem [15:40] sidh: so ? [15:40] kla: so i got confused between pwd as a shortcut for password , and pwd as present working directory. right? [15:41] alzamabar: well.. try restarting the crontab service.. see if it works [15:41] RanyAlbeg, yes :) [15:41] releasing a working kernel in karmic repos should solve the problem [15:41] <|sanchez|> RanyAlbeg pwd is present working directory [15:41] Slart, actually I can see that it picked it up [15:41] alzamabar: ah.. great [15:41] sidh: is it a security issue? if not it won't be backported until lucid is officially released as I understand the release process in ubuntu [15:41] sidh: it may not have been tested/packaged for karmic, lucid's status has nothing to do with karmic [15:41] IdleOne: that problem is specific to karmic amd64 kernel [15:42] only this release [15:42] sidh: add the parameter manually ?

[16:59] seems like "server" installation cd does not support raid setups [16:59] odalix, might even be low amount of memory for insufficient resource [17:00] they are pointing towards the alternate image here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID [17:00] theadmin: Any ports lower than 1025 are called, "privileged ports" and require root in order to bind to them. [17:00] psycho_oreos, how can I check this ? [17:00] theadmin, those are low numbered ports, especially assigned by iana [17:00] agdoku: what is the problem? I just made raid work [17:00] rob_p: Weird :/ [17:00] agdoku: http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/serveredition/techspecs/whatsnew#lvmdefault [17:00] odalix, mm I only know the terminal command, free [17:00] Paula [17:01] kkgsg [17:01] theadmin: The exception is when a service is able to, 'downgrade' it's privs after starting up and binding to the priv'd port. [17:01] frankS2: I know how to setup a raid by hand, but I need to know which installer CD does support raid setups on first install. [17:01] agdoku: alternate afaik [17:01] psycho_oreos, ? [17:01] !alternate [17:01] The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the link on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal [17:01] theadmin: It's been that way since the beginning... [17:02] rob_p: It still is weird [17:02] odalix, I only know the terminal command to see how much memory has been used, etc.. and that is the command "free" [17:02] !raid [17:02] Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [17:02] theadmin: perhaps [17:02] Hello , do you know if i can take a picture using command line? [17:02] And why is port "8080" called "http-alt"? [17:02] psycho_oreos, thanks [17:02] theadmin, alternative httpd port [17:02] theadmin: it's an alternative port for http - eg: proxying like squid [17:03] odalix, how much memory do you have in that computer anyway? [17:03] 8080 is typically used for proxys [17:03] theadmin: I guess a group of people got together and decided it would make a great alternate port for http! [17:03] psycho_oreos: Dunno, when i installed mine HTTPD httpd.conf had only 80 there [17:03] theadmin: That's because the typical port for httpd is port 80. [17:03] MegaHerz: it is a karmic fresh install or youupgraed from 9.04 ? [17:03] psycho_oreos, http://paste.ubuntu.com/385793/ [17:04] theadmin, yeah but like previously mentioned before, port 80 is a privileged/reserved port, only root has that right to run daemons on low port numbers [17:04] oskar-: server image now supports lvm by default. great. what about raid. nothing is mentioned there. [17:04] erUSUL: upgraded from 9.04 [17:04] erUSUL: it should persist on Karmic? [17:04] psycho_oreos: Well, i just put that in /etc/init.d, so no worries anymore. [17:04] MegaHerz_: then you are still using grub1. and you still have to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst [17:04] odalix, hmm it might be a bit low on memory I think, try other alternative media players [17:04] erUSUL: can I upgrade? [17:05] erUSUL: should i [17:05] Also, uh, do init.d scripts require "#!" stuff? [17:05] theadmin, yeah and root will start that, therefore it becomes low number [17:05] erUSUL: is it better for me to..? :) [17:05] RanyAlbeg: you mean take a screenshot? [17:05] MegaHerz_: you can; it is your choice [17:05] theadmin, that's to tell the shell interpreter to use a specific shell [17:05] sorry one more question, if . wildcard is for any character, is there one for only numbers? [17:05] MegaHerz_: if you want to edit menu.lst you have to tweak this line « # defoptions=quiet splash » [17:06] psycho_oreos: What's the default? Although, whatever, i just put "#!/bin/bash" [17:06] spiffythekid: [0-9] for example. [17:06] theadmin, I don't think there is a default, though if its not defined, it usually goes by /bin/bash [17:06] erUSUL: I'm upgrading to Grub2 ) [17:06] psycho_oreos, that's the point. At first, the idea was to read HD files on my ps3 but it doesn't manage well with mkv's... apparently, mp4 works on my computer and on the ps3... but it's sometimes hard to find mp4 files [17:06] MegaHerz_: more like downgrading [17:07] MegaHerz_: ok; good luck [17:07] theadmin: Your init scripts *may* work without #! but it's poor practice to script without specifying an interpreter. [17:07] rob_p: Well, not like it's hard or anything.

[17:08] erUSUL: thanks. Btw, when installing it asked to chain loading. If I undestood it correctly, after test I should execute grub-upgrade-from-legacy by hand? [17:08] odalix, well, with your memory specs a bit below the mark, you might have issues running certain applications, you might be able to get away without multitasking I suppose [17:08] Also, a question to scripters out there, may i do something like if [ stuff ] ; then #!/bin/bash fi [17:08] MegaHerz_: yes [17:08] erUSUL: thank you [17:08] theadmin, you might want to ask that in #bash [17:08] theadmin: no; the shebang line has to go in the first line of the script as is [17:09] fab_74: dont spam your links here === carlos_ is now known as voyager1 [17:11] Well... does this look right? http://pastebin.com/Fg37hD0F [17:11] richlyn: tor exit node operators, do you trust them not to sniff your passwords?

[17:20] alright i try tor resources [17:20] can anyone help me with my webcam? its two weeks now I try to solve it [17:20] out [17:20] richlyn: tor doesn't encrypt, so everyone may sniff whats going through his node [17:20] samphippen: depends how they have it setup, but they won't be logged in as root if you're using ubuntu [17:20] Richlyn: if you send your password over tor network, there's a good chance it will be sniffed [17:20] samphippen: ubuntu doesn't have a root password so they can't login as root [17:20] I'm looking for a point toward some resources to help me develope custom printer software [17:20] ikonia: if you go recovery mode don't you get an automatic root prompt for free? [17:20] samphippen: you get a root shell yes [17:20] ikonia: ok, so if they're root through that way, what happens? [17:21] samphippen: depends how you've setup your encyrption [17:21] ikonia: I clicked the "encrypted home directory" option at install [17:21] samphippen: password the grub prompt if you're worried about that [17:21] samphippen: that shouldn't un-encypt then [17:23] anyone good in the webcam issues? === wolverine is now known as Guest93783 [17:24] Blech! If i boot the system in the recovery mode, i can get full root rights with no password at all!? This is insecure!

[17:25] theadmin: if you have physical access to the machine, you can do whatever you want no matter what, really. [17:25] LjL: If there is a password of some kind then not really. [17:26] Okay, gotta get this thing out of the GRUB menu. Also, what's this "memtest" thing, is it of any use? [17:26] theadmin: if you have physical access to the machine, you can unscrew it and take the HD. that seems "full access" enough to me. [17:26] theadmin, runs tests on your RAM. [17:27] kla: Some creepy tests. "Pass (180%)" looks very, very weird [17:27] My ubuntu 9.10 LiveCD boots to desktop and then hangs (mouse pointer frozen, caps/numlock doesn't work). I tried noapic/nolapic. Anything else ? [17:27] or does anyone know where I can find help for my webcam? I try to make it work since about 3 weeks and no idea where to go next... [17:27] theadmin: by removing that from the grub menu you are only securing it to the point that the recovery mode is not automatically accessable ... but by adding 'single' to the end of the grub line at boot, an administrator can still have access to the recovery console === Parti is now known as pascalFR [17:27] is there a console command that will tell me whats using my soundcard? some rogue program aparently is killing it so i cant get sound elsewhere [17:27] LjL: Well... good point there.

Would the speed be any different with transfering through sftp rather than ftpes? [17:38] Promille, i'm guessing there would be a small amount of overhead for encryption, doubt it would be noticeable. [17:38] is there a console command that will tell me whats using my soundcard? some rogue program aparently is killing it so i cant get sound elsewhere [17:38] DrSp0ckk: or for tmpfs: none /tmp tmpfs size=2G,noexec 0 0 [17:38] Promille: ftpes? ftps you mean? should be equal [17:39] Hello. Please stick with me while I try to explain this. I have two exports in Ubuntu. In windows these would be cifs 1 and cifs 2. Now When I copy a file into cifs 1 from Windows, I want that file to automatically be duplicated onto cifs 2. Is there a way of doing this in Linux?

[17:55] aruntomar, what version of VBox are you using? What is the failure message (if any)? I've never heard of a problem with Karmic and guest additions before, it's always worked for me. [17:55] Slart: I ran into problems with what I thought was my hard drive. Since running fsck it's become so screwed. [17:55] like close minimise and maximise on left side insted of right side. [17:55] bsmith093: maybe grub is juat looking in the wrong place [17:55] i left the xp partition alone [17:55] anybody knows how i can change this? [17:55] GeekSquid thanks; then i compile the .tex file? [17:55] roniez: gconfig-editor [17:55] ZykoticK9: i'll paste the error log to pastebin [17:55] how do i check grub [17:55] bcj: could it be that the hard drive was failing and that was why you were running fsck in the first place? [17:55] Neon0Blue: please pastebin the output of lspci .. with the USB plugged in [17:56] ok. [17:56] Slart: Yes, but now both hard drives are giving the same error when a check is run on them. [17:56] Slart: fsck is being run on boot and backtracing. [17:56] bcj: I'm not saying that fsck is perfect and without bugs.. but I think it's one of the more stable apps [17:56] Then the machine locks up. [17:56] http://paste.ubuntu.com/385818/ [17:56] Done. [17:57] how to use zsync files? for example http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/lucid/alpha-3/lucid-desktop-amd64.iso.zsync ? what's their purpose? do they contain partial hashes like in torrent files? [17:57] Neon0Blue: sorry I meant lsusb [17:57] Thought so. [17:57] http://paste.ubuntu.com/385819/ [17:57] there. [17:58] zoska: http://zsync.moria.org.uk/ see this [17:58] zoska they will scan wjhat u already have and update it to match [17:58] hey everyone... [17:58] bcj: I haven't seen that kind of behaviour on my machines.. can't say I've heard about it in this channel either.. [17:58] my system has three hard drives [17:58] but I can only "see" two [17:58] how do I get to the third one? [17:58] bcj: not really sure what to do about it.. check the s.m.a.r.t info on the drive.. see if it's dying on you.. you can always try running a live cd and try fsck'ing from that [17:58] Slart: I wouldn't normally worry, but this is my file server. [17:59] Guest52404: yes... see man latex2html for syntax [17:59] bcj: you're not running fsck on a live file system.. right? [17:59] ZykoticK9: http://paste.ubuntu.com/385820/ [17:59] Hy i have a LAMP server and i need to stop the server to see how is the site online [17:59] Slart: ...and both disks on the server are fooked. [17:59] can anyone tell me how to stop apache? [17:59] imaginativeone: Maybe it's just not mounted. Does "sudo fdisk -l" give 3 drives or 2? [17:59] ok i'll try it, i've tried aria2c before 2 downloads and error everytime, jigdo hanged on "retireving template" ;/ [17:59] Slart: No, running on boot (before mount), or manually unmount first. [17:59] i have downloaded latest firefox .tar.bz package. do i need uninstall old firefox to install this new package? or just go to install new package? [17:59] GeekSquid: http://paste.ubuntu.com/385819/ [18:00] abhi_nav_: That .tar.bz2 mozilla present is just an archive with binaries for you. [18:00] theadmin: three [18:00] bcj: well.. as I said.. I've never heard of a fsck killing an otherwise healthy drive.. but give the live cd a try in case the local binary has been damaged somehow [18:00] roniez: http://www.howtoforge.com/mac4lin_make_linux_look_like_a_mac [18:00] VilasBoas, sudo service httpd stop or sudo /etc/init.d/httpd stop [18:00] /dev/sda1, /dev/sdb1, /dev/sdc1 [18:00] theadmin: i am going to install from that .tar.bz2. [18:01] Trying to fetch mail with thunderbird 3 on ubuntu 9.10, but I'm told "message may contain a virus or there is not enough disk space". Anyone stumbled upon that? And managed to solve it? I can't find any bad permissions, and disk space should be plenty. [18:01] aruntomar, are you using the VBox directly from Oracle? or from the Ubuntu repository? [18:01] when i click on "computer", all of my system devices except for "filesystem" has disappeared. when i click on disk utility, they show up there :S it has been a problem since whenever i plug in a usb, it does not show up on my desktop or nautilus, and i have to go through disk utility to access it. anyone have any ideas?? :( [18:01] imaginativeone: Okay. Which of those you think you can access? [18:01] directly from oracle [18:01] Neon0Blue: here are instructions to get that working (maybe) - it doesn't list your exact device, however it may fix it ... this has been translated from french http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=fr&u=http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/dwa-140&prev=/search%3Fq%3D07d1:3c0a%26hl%3Den&rurl=translate.google.com#d-link_dwa-140_b2 [18:01] theadmin: sda1 & sdb1 [18:02] I have DWA 125 [18:02] mkquist: i checked conf and it says menu: minimize, maximise, close [18:02] ZykoticK9: directly from oracle, i'm downloading the latest version now, let's c if that solves the issue [18:02] imaginativeone: Hm, well, does third one mount at all? [18:02] I don't think so [18:02] it says "Linux LVM" [18:02] what's that? [18:02] imaginativeone: Guess a filesystem, dunno how to mount those [18:02] rats [18:03] Logical Volume [18:03] aruntomar, according to https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/virtualbox-ose/+question/86274 i'm guessing that it will [18:03] 120 GB of sda1 is also unavailable [18:03] Neon0Blue: better instructions here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1289917 -- will take some diciphering [18:03] roniez: that web page explains how to do it - you can use that to undo it [18:03] Tried that. [18:03] lol [18:03] can i turn a partition into a virtual machine [18:04] bsmith093: ...wha? Those are 2 entirely different things. [18:04] bsmith093: yes.. I think you can.. you might have to use the command line tools though [18:04] ok slart how [18:04] bsmith093: or.. use a partition in a vm [18:04] Slart: Err, but a virtual MACHINE has no relations to partitions at all [18:04] how slart [18:04] they ALL show up in the Disk Utility [18:05] but I don't know how to use that utility [18:05] imaginativeone: No wonder. [18:05] theadmin: nope.. but you could use an installed os and move it to a vm.. which is what I think bsmith093 wants to do [18:05] yeah thats it [18:05] Slart: Hm, makes sense [18:05] how [18:05] How can I tell if someone uses my local net, is there a way to banned for ubuntu 9.10 [18:05] ? [18:05] bsmith093: I don't know.. you'll have to check the documentation for the exact syntax.. there are command line tools that are installed together with the vm [18:05] what do I do? === less is now known as Guest28437 [18:06] llutz: The man page for 'mount' states that the original mount options can't be changed with '-o' when using --bind or --rbind. [18:06] hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh [18:07] Elrox: thanks for you help ;) [18:07] np VilasBoas [18:07] Hm. Where exactly is all that stuff stored? I'm talking about stuff which "history" command gives [18:07] will xfce be faster than gnome on my netbook even if ram is not a issue? [18:07] llutz: That being said, 'mount' with no additional flags does show the new '/tmp on /tmp type none (rw,noexec,bind)' [18:07] coldfire: It should [18:07] coldfire: yes [18:08] Does anyone know how to get UltraNav scroll function to work correctly in 9.10 on a Lenovo ThinkPad machine? [18:08] Thanks! [18:08] Hello guys. Does anyone know how to use shred recursively? Need to delete a whole folder and its contains [18:09] coldfire: they are both bloated [18:09] Hi, my computer has been recently acting up [18:09] when I boot sometimes it stops half way through booting [18:09] tharok: find /path/to/folder -type f -exec echo shred {} \; [18:09] can I change the filesystem on the fly? [18:09] I see the spash screen (xubuntu), but then the screen goes blank and nothing happens. === horndog_ is now known as horndog [18:10] tharok: and if you are sure, that the output would be the set of correct commands, remove the "echo" in between [18:10] I hit crtl alt f1 and it takes shows me some of the errors [18:10] thanks oskar- [18:10] blakkheim: what would you suggest? [18:10] moun: mounting /sys on /root/sys failed: No such file or directory [18:10] moun: mounting /proc on /root/proc failed: No such file or directory [18:10] mkquist: tried it didnt help. :S [18:10] Slart: Looks like the RAM is borked. [18:10] moun: mounting /dev on /root/dev failed: No such file or directory [18:11] bcj: ah.. that might explain it [18:11] Hi! [18:11] Yep [18:11] coldfire: awesome/dwm/xmonad/openbox [18:11] tharok: shred does not have it effect on journalled file systems, which are normal today. it is mostly obsolete. see its manpage [18:12] Loren_Semple, i dont believe thats correct,,, should be just /proc aand /dev etc,,, NOT /root/xxxxx [18:12] I have the issue that my webcam is no longer working. The kernel module sees it but /dev/video0 does not exist [18:13] uvcvideo is the kernel module [18:13] oskar- ext3 isnt journaled is it? [18:13] it is === pipegeek1 is now known as pipegeek [18:13] so using shred is useless? [18:13] even with -z command? [18:13] Elrox: yeah thats what it says [18:13] tharok: what you can do is deleting the files and filling up all free file system space with a new file, that contains e.g. only zeroes. that should with a high probability delete the former contents [18:14] Im looking at it now [18:14] tharok: shred is useless on _files_ on a journaled filesystem (such as ext). It's fine if you use it on the whole partition. [18:14] I will list all the error messages [18:14] DrSp0ckk: 2 steps needed: "sudo mount --bind /tmp/tmp && sudo mount -o remount, noexec /tmp" [18:14] I have a seperate raid partition that I cannot exec anything properly. the drive is /dev/cciss/c0d1p1 that I need to mount [18:14] mount: mounting /dev/disk/by-uuid/a2431e... .... . .. on /root failed: invalid argument [18:14] ah ok thanks fellas. any quick way of making a selffilling file?

[18:15] no idea [18:15] I see the splash screen for ubuntu at bootup [18:15] but then it goes blank [18:15] tharok: What would you like to fill it with? [18:15] yes, i would imaging so [18:15] just jibberish [18:15] tharok: dd if=/dev/zero of=fillfile [18:15] Elrox: maybe if I use a live cd and then do a fsck on hte drive ? [18:15] Hello!

(: [18:16] or boot arg [18:16] I have a seperate raid partition that I cannot exec anything properly. the drive is /dev/cciss/c0d1p1 that I need to mount. here's my line is fstab>> /dev/cciss/c0d1p1 /home/dsr ext4 rw,auto,exec 0 0 [18:16] tharok: The guys in #bash might know. [18:17] llutz: I see. [18:17] mplabs, are you running a 64bit Ubuntu? [18:17] mplabs, Where are you trying to run it from? It looks like you dont have exec avail on that partition [18:17] yes Zeit|awy [18:17] Loren_Semple, try this first, boot to the 2nd option, recovery mode, there is an option there to repair basics,,, [18:17] Elrox: should I do the fsck from a live cd, or try using the init=bootarg ? [18:17] mplabs, what that to me? [18:17] ok [18:17] sorry, yes ZykoticK9 [18:17] yes [18:17] wrong number of TABs :P [18:18] mplabs, you need to install the 32-bit version of libgtk-1.2 probably -- check out the program "getlibs" makes life a lot easier installing 32bit libraries [18:18] can handbrake encode dvds in mvk formant? [18:18] rmozden, I don't get the question, I'm trying to install it from... a directory in ~ [18:18] thanks oskar- "dd if=/dev/zero of=fillfile" worked a charm [18:19] llutz: That worked perfectly. Thank you! [18:19] ZykoticK9, how ? I mean, I have the 64 version, what should I do now ? [18:19] hello? [18:19] Loren_Semple, there is a fsck option in the recovery mode [18:20] mplabs, http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/gaming/error-while-loading-shared-libraries-libgtk-1-2-so-0 [18:20] Elrox: I don't see these options.

[18:20] yes [18:20] Elrox: I get a bunch of output after booting from #2 (repair) [18:20] E: Couldn't find package ia32-lib [18:20] o.o [18:20] rmozden, libgtk1.2 isn't in ia32-libs BTW [18:20] mplabs: you missed an s [18:20] and now I am at a prompt (initramfs) [18:21] rmozden, missed the S [18:21] lol [18:21] is there any disadvantage to have muliple DE's on one disto? Having ubuntu with gnome and xfce? [18:21] Loren_Semple, 1 sec, lemme find a 9.10 box,,, using 9.04 here... [18:21] ZykoticK9, Yeah but not having the lib could prevent it from exec if it has 32 bit code in it [18:21] coldfire: waste of disk space [18:21] Slart: The error is quite high in the RAM (~940MB) - can you by any chance remember the boot parameter that sets the memory size, or, rather, how to make 9.10 boot whilst using only the low 512MB or RAM? [18:21] mplabs, command is sudo apt-get install ia32-libs [18:21] mplabs, not ia32-lib [18:22] oh, yes.. I think I copied it wrong [18:22] anyway I have that installed already [18:22] ia32-libs is already the newest version. [18:22] coldfire: having unneeded software installed decreases system-security [18:22] llutz: is there a way to know what not to have installed? [18:22] llutz: That's a pretty sweeping comment. [18:22] :) [18:23] mplabs, hmmm - whats the exact error on it [18:23] bcj: but a true one nonetheless [18:23] has my voice been turned off? [18:23] bcj: hmm.. max_addr ?

[18:54] raimonds, best to save it to your desktop rather than trying to open it [18:54] download the kernel and compile it i guess [18:54] Ok il rty to save it [18:54] i have small problem.. i have created a new user, but i cant login with that users ceredentials: "Access denied" [18:54] hello world [18:54] try here http://www.kernel.org/ [18:54] Slart, regular jpeg [18:54] smccarty, and upgrades are never done cleanly in my opinion, you were saying that you had 9.04 and now you got 9.10 but you want to get 9.04.. which is going to mess everything up [18:54] What should i do with those files?

I created a new flash to expand the 4gb partition to the rest of the 16gb flash space. Now, the flash won't boot (boot error). [19:00] Vova: how did you create the new user? [19:00] I want to install ubuntu on a USB stick and have a question - all the literature seems to confuse installing a live CD iso image onto the stick with doing an actual install with the USB stick as the "target". But isn't there a difference between the two? I want to be able to run my company-owned WinXP laptop as an Ubuntu machine with the USB as the boot drive, install packages, etc. Any advice? [19:00] Vova: I don't know how but I can tell you that it is possible to recover that login info or reset it so you can gain access. [19:00] elijah, huh? [19:01] where does ubuntu store its wlan password from the AP's im connceting too [19:01] and config file [19:01] brjann: useradd user [19:01] Schuenemann: I was being slighty unfair (eh ehm, Mint Linux (Ubuntu-based, includes the restricted extras)) [19:01] what repository do I need for ubuntu-restricted-extras? [19:01] rkj, there's a USB Disk creator, all you need is the .iso image and a usb stick. === Dante is now known as HTC [19:01] elijah, I don't want a different distro, I just want that package [19:01] Hi [19:01] !ubuntu-restricted-extras [19:01] For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [19:01] !info restricted [19:01] Package restricted does not exist in karmic [19:01] Vova: you should probably be using adduser instead [19:01] !info ubuntu-restricted-extras [19:01] ubuntu-restricted-extras (source: ubuntu-restricted-extras): Commonly used restricted packages. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 36 (karmic), package size 5 kB, installed size 32 kB [19:01] Vova, use the "adduser" command instead of "useradd" much easier! [19:02] no [19:02] w set up script in bash to eddit name file? [19:02] useradd only takes one line [19:02] rkj, just go into bios change boot order put boot from cd on top or usb and run of usb without install super easy [19:02] Jimmey right, and if the iso is an installation disk then the usb is an installation disk, not an "installed" system. Does that make sense? [19:02] wasn't multiverse coming enabled by default? [19:02] rkj: here are some instructions for hardy that might help you: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [19:02] hmm... i can change this user info? i want to connect with ssh with that user :( [19:02] brjann: if i download and burn linuxfromscratch liveCD, will i be able to install from that cd into my hdd? [19:02] nissty useradd takes one line but how many people actually read the man page to know the proper flags to set? [19:03] not many, because people are lazy [19:03] if i download and burn linuxfromscratch liveCD, will i be able to install from that cd into my hdd? [19:03] rkj, there's also a way to have file persistance so any packages and files you put onto the stick stay there after you shut down.

[19:04] no [19:04] probably not [19:04] and ask in #ubuntu+1 [19:04] what repository do I need for ubuntu-restricted-extras? [19:05] hey..! any ideas? [19:05] Schuenemann, wasn't it multiverse? [19:05] brjann, hiexpo I have done that already - I guess my question is, isn't there a difference between an installation iso and an actual installed system? I'm not sure you can really install packages on a live CD - at least when I tried it, it didn't work [19:05] Vova, you were given suggestions before, use adduser not useradd [19:05] psycho_oreos, it isn't enabled by default in karmic? [19:05] Jimmey that sounds interesting - do you mean you could just tar the entire filesystem and then move it? [19:05] ohhh okay.. [19:05] remember everyone google is your best friend don't be lazt most of the questions asked here are out there on the web and have been ansawered and can save the people so much time to help with questions and issues that are new and not overcome yet [19:06] rkj: you can install packages on a system that's booted from a livecd. they aren't persistent, though, because the livecd filesystem lives in RAM. on a USB drive, it would live on the drive. [19:06] rkj, not quite, but in moving or copying the contents of an entire filesystem you need to maintain permissions which tar can do [19:06] !google > hiexpo [19:06] happy holi !!!

The kernel module (uvcvideo) sees it but /dev/video0 does not exist. Do I have to use mknod to create it? [19:14] or is ther a way to fight udev into recognizing it? [19:14] *there [19:14] this is a "Support Channel" != GIYF ? [19:14] Elrox: on live cd, is /dev/sda1 the hd or the live cd? [19:14] Schuenemann, Do a google search using ubuntu-restricted-extras and see what you get.. [19:15] Schuenemann, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats [19:15] Elrox: and after running sudo fsck /dev/sda1 I got error reading block 9319847 (attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read). ignore error?

[20:38] histo: when I booted from the live stick, there was an icon on the desktop 'install ubuntu'. I used that. [20:38] KB1JWQ: not at all, one has kubuntu-desktop installed, the other has ubuntu-desktop [20:38] histo 2nd gen, they only changed the 32 and 64GB version of the IPod Touch in the 3rd generation [20:38] dooglus: yes that installed it to your hard drive [20:38] MilitantPotato: Ah, so once one is installed, switching from one to the other is trivial? [20:38] jakiw: well mine is changed [20:38] histo: while it was installing, a box popped up saying drivers were available. it looked like this box, but had 2 things in, not zero [20:38] jakiw: and doesn't work [20:39] histo do u have 3rd gen? [20:39] KB1JWQ: yea, logout, theres a session box at the bottom, click that. [20:39] help can not noooot use the view of any type of videos [20:39] histo and 8GB? [20:39] jakiw: you need to look up on info ont he late 2009 3g's that came out they where 8gb [20:39] jakiw: yes [20:39] histo: now, since installing and rebooting, that box doesn't pop up unless I run the 'hardware drivers' program, and when I do, it's empty [20:39] dooglus: what box doesn't pop up? [20:39] KB1JWQ: if you use KDE more often, set your Desktop manager too KDM with sudo dpkg-reconfigure kdm [20:39] don.t hava a disc it.s a notebook [20:39] dooglus: ahh nvm i got you [20:39] histo: the "there are hardware drivers available" thing [20:39] KB1JWQ: then choose KDM [20:40] dooglus: yeah your card should be workign then. [20:40] histo, do u have a link? I am sure that I've read, that the 8GB IPod Touch hasn't changed in the 3rd generation [20:40] (presumably because it thinks there aren't) [20:40] what [20:40] Dougdoug4: opena terminal and sudo iwlist scan [20:40] histo: it is at the moment. but if I reboot it might not. it seems to work about 30% of the time so far [20:40] jakiw: if you start searching for 3g touch jailbreak or something you will find info on it. [20:40] jakiw: but trust me it changed just like all the other 3gs [20:40] jakiw: you can only use itunes with it. [20:41] histo: iwlisty finds one of the two routers [20:41] histo But it hasn't got faster processor etc! [20:41] cant use terminal [20:41] dooglus: so its flakey hrm... I would maybe search the forums for your type of card see if anyone else is having issues with it dropping or not connecting. [20:41] jakiw: NO but the way they store files has [20:41] thanks [20:41] nytek_: so this one site said to try dmesg | tail -n 20 and see what it gets [20:41] jakiw: hence the 3G [20:41] histo: I've tried using the windows driver, but can't get that to work at all [20:42] jakiw: that was their change. [20:42] nytek_: and... http://pastebin.com/Q639UyT5 is that bad? [20:42] histo ok... :) how do u do it? [20:42] Turbolinux: in synaptic - please open settings/preferences/network [20:42] dooglus: yeah but that would probably be less reliable than the linux driver. Maybe something else is going on. [20:42] jakiw: You can't is what i've been telling you. [20:42] histo: on other laptops I've found ndiswrapper to be really very reliable [20:42] jakiw: It will only work with itunes [20:42] histo So u have Windows installed for it? [20:42] histo: but here I can't get it to work at all [20:43] jakiw: untill someone hacks it or you do a tethered jailbreak [20:43] jakiw: yeah virtualbox [20:43] Wireless network drivers tool is saying my INF is invalid. [20:43] Can someone help? [20:43] dooglus: you just said you are connected now? [20:43] Neon0Blue: is it a winxp driver? [20:43] histo why not vmware server?

I think it's buggy though. sometimes when I boot it doesn't work at all [20:44] how dare you highlight me at this hour [20:44] Dougdoug4: no why?

[20:44] Dougdoug4: opena terminal and sudo iwlist scan [20:44] histo I meant performance :D [20:44] histo: I would like to be able to use the 'ndiswrapper' kernel driver. I've had success with that before, but can't get it to work here [20:44] I'LL HAVE YOU TAKEN TO TEH GALLOWS! [20:44] Dougdoug4: please behave [20:44] Neon0Blue: please stay in chat, but ndiswrapper is for winxp drivers. You should try to get the windowsxp driver [20:44] ok :\ [20:44] Dougdoug4: I was trying to help him wth are you talking about? [20:45] I can't extract them from the exe. [20:45] You highlighted me histo, at 2 a.m [20:45] dooglus: did you follow the directions from the wiki for ndiswrapper?

I haven't used ndiswrapper in ages perhaps someone else may know more. [20:49] dooglus: did you load the module? [20:49] histo: I did [20:49] dooglus: did they have you blacklist the old driver?

[21:31] MilitantPotato, i know u think its bad but i need to do it [21:31] nullp0inter: ahh nvm the X forwarding then.

(: I was continuesly typeing 'quit' ^ [22:09] linux1001, yes, have the hardware present and give ndisgtk the inf and sys file === zinox is now known as geek [22:09] ikonia: Well I'm not sure, as X has my home directory locked now. Doing a "mount /home" did mount it properly [22:09] linux1001 you need to be in the same folder as the above .inf and .sys files [22:10] sensae: oh, I see, it's your home dir [22:10] sensae: booting into single user mode maybe a good test [22:10] Anyone know why the device /dev/video0 fails to exist though the kernel module is existant?

[22:10] ikonia: Alright, I'll try that. I'm also having a second problem with the RAID where only one drive is added on startup, and I have to manually add the second, but that doesn't keep it from running /dev/md_d0 and working [22:10] VCoolio: My problem is that I want to rearrenge my boot list?

[22:35] hi, i've updated my kernel and now i've lost all my nvidia drivers and i can't seem to get them back up :< [22:35] nexsja: how did you update your kernel [22:36] ikonia the lame way. downloaded a package and installed it. [22:36] ... [22:36] nexsja: where did you download a package from (nothing "lame" about that) [22:37] nexsja, sudo apt-get --purge remove nvidia-glx-185 nvidia-glx-195 nvidia-glx-96; sudo apt-get --purge autoremove [22:37] how can I recall accesibility icon in GNOME? [22:37] nexsja, them reinstall the driver [22:37] nexsja, sounds like you used the .run file from the nvidia site rather than the one from the repos [22:37] ikonia don't remember now, to be honest. viliny suggest that i download headers, image and source and install them. From kernel.org [22:38] nexsja: kernel.org doesn't have "packages" [22:38] actionParsnip i did download .run file from nvidia site, yes [22:38] ikonia .deb files [22:38] I am seeing a "RAID-1 Drive" in nautilus, what is this [22:38] TLF, have you looked in your system menu yet ? [22:38] nexsja: kernel.ubuntu.com ppa you mean ? [22:39] Hi! What would be the easiest way to set the output of some program (such as a media player) to register as a camera device in Linux? [22:39] All my raid devices were detected and mounted correctly [22:39] so what is that one? [22:39] brjann: http://pastebin.ca/1816120 [22:39] yes, that one [22:39] it tells me, that it is degraded [22:39] airtonix: found it, thank you veyr muchç [22:39] nexsja: why did you do that - it's totally not supported [22:39] kernel.ubuntu/com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.33/ [22:39] nexsja, you can install the driver using the driver on the repo [22:39] but I don't see something like that in /proc/mdstat [22:39] how to schedule [22:39] reboot [22:39] ? [22:39] actionParsnip: he can't - he's not using a supported kernel [22:39] !enter | Futki [22:40] Futki: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [22:40] how can I find out, which RAID drive this nautilus link refers to? [22:40] ikonia well a person on this channel told me to :> [22:40] nexsja, you will also find the driver recomnpiles using dkms every time you upgrade kernel, if you use the .run file you will have to reinstall it EVERY time you change kernel [22:40] nexsja: what was the problem that this was supposed to fix ? [22:40] ikonia, how do you mean? [22:40] Futki: "shutdown -r 42" reboots in 42 minutes [22:40] MalfermitaKodo: unfortunately, nothing in lsusb -v appears to be a video device. :( [22:40] Futki: you can also give a time, or you can use "at" or cron [22:41] actionParsnip: his kernel isn't from ubuntu.com's stable tree so the nvidia package isn't built against it [22:41] ikonia at first i just lost my video drivers, then i've been asked have i recently updated my kernel, and i did. So i was told to download headers, source and image. [22:41] MalfermitaKodo: that unnamed device is actually a "MEDION Drive-n-go" [22:41] actionParsnip i think i'll stay away from updating kernel :< [22:41] ikonia, ah i see [22:41] actionParsnip i'll try that command of yours [22:41] nexsja, don't suppose you read the readme that came with the nvidia drivers before all these questions ? [22:41] nexsja, i would if you are not going to use the standard kernels [22:41] airtonix i actually didn't find a readme file... [22:41] thanx oskar [22:41] nexsja: I'll re-phrase that, a.) what was the problem you had that you updated your kernel to fix b.) why where you told to use a PPA ? [22:42] i mean dayli [22:42] brjann: Oops, sorry! [22:42] MalfermitaKodo: not a problem. but the simple answer is, /dev/video0 isn't showing up because it's not being detected by the USB core. [22:42] that'd be my pr0n^H^H^H file storage [22:42] nexsja, (its also printed in plain text while you install the drivers) that the nvidia driver run file will handle headers etc for whatever kernel you have [22:43] MalfermitaKodo: heh. yeah, the only devices in lsusb -v are root hubs and mass storage devices. [22:43] ikonia at first i didn't had any problems. Then i found out that there was a new version of kernel released so i though i'd upgrade, and after a couple of days (today) after rebooting i've lost all the drivers [22:43] ikonia, so what shall I do? I can't use this system in these conditions... [22:43] how to schedule reboot dayly at given time? [22:43] brjann: so... how do you recommend me finding it? [22:43] nexsja: ok - so that's your problem, you've picked an unstable/unsupported kernel for no reason, now your supported packages are failing [22:43] Futki: cron [22:43] Futki: then use cron, e.g. add a line "37 13 * * * root reboot" to /etc/crontab to boot each day at 13:37 [22:43] nexsja: I strongly suggest you go back to stable packages [22:43] i have tried for over 8 hours to install win xp after ubuntu with a bootable usb unsuccessfully,i get hal.dll is missing? my nfts partition is in /dev/sda3 how do i mapp this location to boot.ini? help [22:43] ikonia okay, how do i do that now? [22:43] surf: could always kill udev and update the bug report [22:44] MalfermitaKodo: I'm really not sure; it may be physically *broken*, as lsusb should list even devices that don't have associated kernel modules [22:44] nexsja: select the stable kernel from your grub menu and remove the newer one [22:44] Futki: see "man 5 crontab" [22:45] ikonia some pointer on how to do that, please? [22:45] ikonia, when I kill the process it just restarts! [22:45] nexsja: boot your system, select the stable kernel from the menu, then open the package manager remove the newer kernel, then remove the ppa lines from your /etc/apt/sources.list [22:45] nexsja: in future let ubuntu update manager suggest updates, the developers know better what is best to use [22:45] MalfermitaKodo: tell you what -- try booting from the livecd of whatever release you're using, and check the output of lsusb there. see if there are any devices showing up for the livecd that aren't showing up now. [22:45] ikonia i don't get any choices when i boot [22:46] nexsja: great, so the old kernel was removed [22:46] ikonia i sence sarcasm :)) [22:46] nexsja: remove the ppa lines from your sources.list and then install the current stable kernel from that repo [22:46] hi all [22:46] ikonia k, will try that [22:46] brjann: no liveCD here [22:46] i have a multipart zip archive, how do i unzip it? [22:47] MalfermitaKodo: no means to download and burn one? [22:47] Hiya. I've been tinkering for the past hour and a half trying to get my Microsoft Lifecam vx-700 working in tinychat, but no joy. [22:47] * GinoMan has to rebuild his kernel using ubuntu's kpkg tool [22:47] that's because MS sucks [22:47] is there any oppourtunity to schedule reboot in webmin [22:47] I've at least gotten to where it shows the video and turns on the cam in preview mode, and permissions are set properly in flash... [22:47] ikonia i don't have any ppa lines in sources.list [22:47] But as soon as the cam is selected to start broadcasting to the room, it turns off. o.O [22:47] lovre, unzip firstfile.zip [22:47] !info kernel-image [22:47] Package kernel-image does not exist in karmic [22:48] !info linux-image [22:48] linux-image (source: linux-meta): Generic Linux kernel image..

[23:03] zroysch: right. you can do fsck -p which performs an automatic repair with no questions, according to fsck --help [23:03] knasto: it might be 'indicator applet' [23:03] nexsja: why do you want new nvidia drivers ? [23:04] work on it since 8 hours [23:04] Dr_Willis: well, sure [23:04] can't find help anywhere! [23:04] brjann: thats what i thought but didnt see it in the man page. thanks [23:04] agdoku: i had a hard drive die on me the other day right in the middle of the day. :( [23:04] Dr_Willis: but changing the partition type does not really do anything but setting one byte of data [23:04] anandre: open a terminal, then type top and hit return. once it brings up a list look for wow. there will be an entry in the column PID. press k to kill, enter that PID number then Y for yes [23:04] zroysch: no problem [23:04] i need help with wireless drivers [23:04] Dr_Willis and erUSUL: thanks it was indicator applet. [23:04] ikonia umm... Right. The same reason i've updated kernel -> now the best reason -> don't install new drivers. [23:04] now=not* [23:04] hmmm its taking a while to ctrl-c out of it [23:05] nexsja: ok - so are we learning, blindly updating things for no reason causes pain ? [23:05] agdoku: One way to find out I guess. :) But i do hope you have backups. [23:05] i need help with wireless drivers [23:05] does anyone know what im talking bout [23:05] zroysch: yeah. i would wait ;) [23:05] ikonia plenty of pain :< [23:05] Dr_Willis: I don't [23:05] nexsja: think about it, ubuntu/canonical has many many very clever people packaging up the best and "stable" software for people like yourself who are new to linux and not fully aware of it, [23:05] zroysch: fsck handles the interrupt command, but it's got to finish up what it's doing so it doesn't destroy your filesystem. :) [23:05] shannonbrimer: try a differnt terminal program perhaps. or check your settings for the gnome-terminal app. [23:05] ikonia this is _not_ windows. No usesless updates. [23:05] nexsja: seems sensible to trust them ? [23:06] idk how to [23:06] can anyone help with wireless drivers [23:06] brjann: i fear its already destroyed. praying i at least get some of my music back. stupid md raid [23:06] Good night [23:06] where's ubuntu help? [23:06] garhol, thank you for that. Does anyone have experience running WoW under Wine? [23:06] nexsja: if there is something worth updating for, bug/stability etc etc, update manager will tell you "there is an update available" because the developers have packaged it up for you [23:06] ikonia well... There's one reason i've installed some 'untrusted' drivers -> it fixed 9.10 wireless problems :< [23:06] shannonbrimer: sounds like somthing is goofed up badly however. You could try alt-f2 and run a 'xterm' if its installed [23:06] !ask | tiki [23:06] tiki: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [23:06] tiki, click ? on the bar at the top [23:06] anandre: not wow, gfx card is too old but I run some steam apps [23:06] can anyone help with wireless drivers [23:06] nexsja: and it may have introduced problems [23:07] zroysch: ouch, good luck [23:07] can anyone help with wireless drivers [23:07] !wireless | aedwards06 [23:07] aedwards06: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [23:07] ikonia it may, though untill that 9.10 was really a pain and i've even though about installing win7 :< [23:07] aedwards06: leave it a few minutes between asking, try not to ask every 30 seconds please [23:07] thanks [23:07] nexsja: not all hardware is compatible with linux, that's just a fact of life [23:08] How do I set up Skype to output through my USB headset instead of the default output (speakers?) [23:08] anandre: wow was gold under ubuntu 9.04. no reports for 9.10 yet -> http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=14154 [23:08] garhol, so perhaps try to use 9.04 over 9.10 then? [23:09] ikonia i think that was a developer error though, because 9.04 was cool with wireless, and when i did a little of googling i found out that 9.10 has serious wireless issues. Found a small fix and now everything's okay. By the way, ran nvidia-xconfig, rebooted gdm and now everything is back to normal. [23:09] ikonia thanks, you really saved me here :) [23:09] anandre: it should really only be the wine version that affects it. 9.10 should be allright with wine 1.1.23 [23:09] nexsja: not a problem [23:09] anybody with ubuntu for PPC experience ? [23:10] garhol, which is what I'm using. I tried to run it from the launcher and it might work - I got the log-in screen at least. Will report more once I get somewhere. [23:10] How do I set up Skype to output through my USB headset instead of the default output (speakers)? [23:10] !anyone > hal9k2010 [23:10] hal9k2010, please see my private message [23:10] !ppc | hal9k2010 [23:10] hal9k2010: PowerPC. Formerly used by Apple for the Macintosh line of computers. Variants are now used in popular gaming consoles. PPC was a fully supported Ubuntu architecture up to and including edgy. It is now a community port, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ [23:10] anandre: k. I'll go grab the trial and see if I can give you any info [23:11] garhol, appreciate it. Didn't get it to run quite yet, but I'm going to try and use the troubleshoot page. [23:11] does changing a partition type actually change anything in the partition itself? [23:12] agdoku: it should not in case of dos partition tables. the type is only a hint for the os, what it should expect inside [23:12] How do I set up Skype to output through my USB headset instead of the default output (speakers)? [23:12] got a weird network issue, I've got ADSL running at 12-13Mbps, can easily download at 1200 to 1300 kbytes/sec, works fine until I put a gigabit switch between the adsl router and the linux box and suddenly I get between 30 and 300 kbytes/sec max, I've tested this with two different brands of router AND gigabit switch, any ideas what's going on? [23:13] oskar-: OK, I just want to change the type of some raid members to "raid autodetect". I would --stop the raid before I do so. [23:13] oskar-: So I don't have to be worried about my data, do I? [23:13] tiki: System>Prefs> sound . [23:14] Can someone help me figure what video drivers i have? [23:14] oskar-: reason being, nautilus seems to be confused by these partitions showing up as 83 "linux" partitions. It comes up with a mount option "raid-1 device" [23:14] agdoku: if you only change the type, you can change it back... but better have a backup, as always... [23:14] JediMaster: is the switch a managed switch? it may have limitations on throughput per host [23:14] geek, no, both are unmanaged gigabit switches [23:14] GeekSquid, even [23:14] i just finished installing ubuntu onto my xp machine, dual booting. right after the installation i restarted the system and GRUB loaded and i booted XP [23:15] help [23:15] then i restarted the system again and now its stuck at GRUB Loading [23:15] GeekSquid, both are pretty cheap makes but completely different (one is 8 port, other is 24 port) [23:15] anyone here know how to fix this? im new to ubuntu [23:15] ADSL routers are both completely different makes and on different providers on different phone lines but both are 12-13Mbps === geek is now known as killown [23:16] DocWiggles: does Grub show the installed system menu? [23:16] right after restarting from installing ubuntu yes but the second restart it just GRUB loading [23:16] and nothing else [23:16] at first i was able to select which os to boot [23:17] JediMaster: could also be a cable thing, sounds strange to me, although as ADSL doesn't provide more than 100mbps, perhaps trying a 100mbps switch might help too [23:17] the second restart's just stuck there [23:17] Thanks! Ciao! [23:17] Help? I somehow knocked out my Internet while trying to set up a file server (while following the instructions at http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu-home-fileserver-p3 - only I'm working with Ubuntu desktop and the instructions assume you're using Ubuntu server- don't know if that matters). Anyway, now the little networking icon has a red X on it and instead of listing availiable networks under "wired network" it says "device not ma [23:17] DocWiggles: how about a 3rd reboot? [23:17] GeekSquid, 100Mbps switch works fine [23:18] still stuck [23:18] DocWiggles: equally importantly, did you do anything between the first reboot, when it worked, and the second, when it didn't? [23:18] GeekSquid, I've tried conencting the adsl router to a 100mbps switch to the gigabit switch to the linux box (which is gigabit) and same result [23:18] Logomachist: have you made entries for that device in /etc/network/interfaces? [23:19] nope nothing, after installing ubuntu i restarted the system then GRUB loaded and i booted to xp to check if everything's still there and i restarted again and now its just stuck [23:19] there [23:19] GRUB Loadin. [23:19] JediMaster: but on the 100mbps switch it works... I think you have a really crappy gbit switch or 2 of them ... or again a cable thing .. are you using Cat6? [23:19] does anybody know of an ftp client I can use with ubuntu that does multiple threads for single files? [23:19] DocWiggles: ... I'd think something might have happened before you shutdown the 1st time.. you can try doing a 'fsck' on the *nix partition, from the live-cd [23:20] ok ima try that rightnow [23:20] NimbleRabit: isn't gFtp multi-threaded? [23:20] has anyone ever succeeded in installing xp as a second os after ubuntu? cause im in hal.dll hell! help [23:20] GeekSquid, yeah it works from the router(s) to the 100mbps switch to the linux box, but as soon as you add the gigabit switch(es) in it crawls, no, they're running on cat5e [23:20] DocWiggles: where is ubuntu installed? /dev/sda3? [23:20] hi need help want to make link from one text file to other the matter is that: first file is called for eexample csv so cos im using application which produce txt file called csv i need link that one to another one which will be named txt and want make this in way that from the csv everything what will be inside will be automatically transfered or copied to my new link file called txt anyone know how to make it? i [23:20] know that i kan make normal link using ln the mattes is that i want using ln transfer qutomatically data from csv to my new file [23:20] how to make it? [23:20] GeekSquid, however I get 300Mbps easily between two machines on the gigabit switch, both on cat5e [23:20] i have 2 hardrives [23:21] need help in installing unetbootin [23:21] 1 is xp and 1 i partionioned instide the live cd for ubuntu [23:21] Help: Anyone know some software I can use on a Ubuntu Server box, that I can create a Encrypted 'drop-box'? (Drop file in there, it encrypts it, and moves it to another folder.) [23:21] hi folks, I am trying to set up automounting an NTFS volume at boot and my custom kernel (2.6.31-9-rt) config file shows "CONFIG_FUSE_FS=y" but modprobe fuse returns FATAL: Module fuse not found. Any ideas? [23:21] I need some help repairing Grub from an ERROR 17... Please help [23:22] d3vin: yes, but afaik it needs a primary partition not too far from the beginning of the disk and so on... and it will overwrite the mbr (grub) [23:22] JediMaster: that is just strange [23:22] ikonia one more small thing, how do i delete a cronjob? I've installed ntop recently, and then removed it, and now i'm getting emails with "error: error accessing /var/log/ntop: No such file or directory" etc. [23:22] Typos_King: i have 2 hardrives 1 is xp and 1 i partioned instide the live cd so that i can install ubuntu [23:22] GeekSquid, I know, tell em about it =/ [23:23] need help in installing unetbootin [23:23] I need some help repairing Grub from an ERROR 17... Please help [23:23] I need some help repairing Grub from an ERROR 17... Please help [23:23] GeekSquid: That's very vague... [23:23] need help in installing unetbootin [23:23] need help in installing unetbootin [23:23] Typos_King, I don't think so, not for a single file transfer [23:23] m4j: synaptic>unetbootin [23:23] anandre: wine-1.1.39 running the trial seems to be working, a few glitches here and there but killing and restarting the app seemed to fix them [23:23] i did that [23:24] !fixgrub | MBaer [23:24] MBaer: grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10).

[23:24] Typos_King ubuntu is installed in /dev/sdb2 [23:24] garhol, if only I had your problems. :( I can run the launcher fine, but when I try to run WoW from that, I just a black screen (albeit with the WoW pointer). Can't do anything until I hit escape, which brings me back to my normal screen. [23:24] were does it install it at [23:25] NimbleRabit: ... I don't use it.. though it is advertised as such :| [23:25] I just wish Windows would boot up for me, and then none of this would be necessary. [23:25] m4j: dpkg-query -L packagename [23:25] DocWiggles: then from the live-cd boot, do a -> sudo fsck /dev/sdb2 [23:25] DocWiggles: then reboot [23:25] hey guys, what is the de facto way of configuring the wlan on the command line? Before I had been using wpa_supplicant, but it seems that it is quite common now that some daemon keeps wpa_supplicant running all the time. Using iwconfig essid key s: worked once, but it seems that it is not the way that is supposed to work reliably either. What do you guys use nowadays? Some of these issues may be also because of me using broa [23:25] I've had really bad luck with wireless cards in Linux; can someone recommend a decent wireless card/chipset that has WPA support? [23:26] anadre: can you alter the setting on the launcher? perhaps a lower res. or non-fullscreen? [23:26] hi folks, I am trying to set up automounting an NTFS volume at boot and my custom kernel (2.6.31-9-rt) config file shows "CONFIG_FUSE_FS=y" but modprobe fuse returns FATAL: Module fuse not found. Any ideas? [23:26] Atheros Chipset WAN cards are the best [23:26] garhol, I'll give that a try. [23:26] what do i do with -> sudo fsck /dev/sdb2 type it where? [23:26] xci: network-manager and its graphical interface like nm-applet work quite well [23:26] bitsmart: What's wrong with doing a simple fstab entry? [23:26] DocWiggles in a Terminal [23:26] Nope. Hitting options greys out most of the Launcher screen and it becomes non-responsive. [23:26] xci: ... .I use nm-applet which is gnome network manager ^_^ [23:27] (this was very different in the beginning ;-) ) [23:27] DocWiggles: At the command line. [23:27] ok so in the terminal type: -> sudo fsck /dev/sdb2 right? [23:27] hello every time i login i get an error message saying the fast user switcher applet has failed. Also, my volume control doesn't load. When I go to add panel I can't add those exact items back. I've tried creating a new user and then logging in but the same applets are missing. I've also tried gnome-applets --reload and they still do not load but in the output there is not error [23:27] Yes [23:27] ite [23:27] DocWiggles: in the console/terminal - >then reboot [23:27] is there any program in ubuntu like the task manager in windows? to kill processes and such?

[23:28] xci: nm-applet normally paints an icon in some bar on the graphical screen and reacts on mouse clicking it [23:28] where do i go to open unetbootin [23:28] xci: doesn't do anything?

When I had the computer checked out, I was told it's probably a software issue (this was re: Windows not booting, but with the problems trying to run Wine...), but this is frustrating beyond belief. [23:29] futurama140: you could use xkill or -> http://tldp.org/LDP/LG/issue19/gx/ayers/qps.gif <-- qps is in the repositories [23:30] hey, is there a way to change the notification system so when I turn up the volume it won't un fullscreen a flash video?

[23:34] anandre: no prob, sorry I couldn't help more [23:34] Logomachist: maybe you want to deactivate (comment out) them? [23:34] Typos_King: I have a driver, I am now using gnome and it works [23:34] xci: nm-applet will when clicked, show all available wireless connections, choose one [23:34] Hello, can someone recommend me a good desktop search tool that supports removable drives? [23:34] garhol, I think my rig is beyond help now. :s thanks for trying though [23:34] Typos_King: but I cannot use it from ion [23:34] or other similar wms [23:35] or when I write nm-applet, it does not start anything [23:35] or starts, but does not pop up a window [23:35] xci: means... isnot installed it seems [23:35] xci: what .. window manager are you using? [23:35] xci: usually nm-applet sits on the wm tray, assuming it has one [23:36] hey everyone! this is my first time on this channel, just loaded Ubuntu Netbook Remix on my system, any thing special I need to make sure I set, what type of security is avail for this distro? [23:36] Typos_King: now I am using gnome and nm-applet on gnome and on ion3 when I start it, it does not seem to do anything [23:36] xci: perhaps ion does not have the tray, where a program like nm-applet registers and paints its icon. you should then use an alternative interface to network-manager (i don't know, which exist) [23:36] xci: so, is loading then.. is just .. 'grayed out'? [23:36] oskar-: it has, but maybe I have something screwed up there - I'll check [23:37] gn8 [23:38] Could someone PLease Help me with GRUB Loader Error 17 - I've tried everything i know to recover but nothing is working! [23:38] Please? [23:38] devx: what kind of specific information are you looking for? what kind of concern do you have?

[23:41] MBaer ^ [23:41] Typos_King: it seems that it just does not go to the tray... maybe I should start some gnome-things along with the nm-applet? [23:41] salut j'aurais besoin d'aide [23:41] IdleOne, in fedora they have fpaste package... which is an amazing time saver. [23:42] mawst: see pastebinit [23:42] quelqun peu m'aider avec mon ubuntu?

[23:42] hello everyone [23:42] mawst: cat/foo/bar | pastebinit [23:43] Seems broken [23:43] MBaer and? to create a partition on the XP section? so that means he'd be tossing the xp install or... he wants to resize it... or... if not careful he'd lose the xp installation [23:43] mawst: hmm, I havent used it in a while. Report a bug on launchpad.net [23:43] pastebinit command was broke last week - due to pastebin site changes === Camaro_09_ is now known as Camaro_09 [23:44] Gparted doesn't see the disk as having any partitions (allocations).

[23:45] @Typos - All the Partitions are still there, Grub is just not seeing them... [23:45] k [23:45] baz: you could use the passwd command to set it - Im not sure it checks that Or it may just warn [23:45] @Typos - Win XP and Ubuntu were already installed and running [23:45] before the partition was createdd [23:45] right, gimme one sec [23:45] I'm trying to work toward getting rid of my vista partition [23:45] @Typos, K Thank you [23:46] Hi fellas. Just a quick question: Is there any way to disable Bluetooth on startup? I want to be able to manually activate it but have it automaticly turned off when I boot the computer [23:46] any help? [23:47] I've just installed 9.10 on a toshiba p35-s60 and when I go to full screen with the browser, (or anything for that matter), screen goes black.

[23:55] ubottu says If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"!
