[00:00] I'm thinking about setting up my old system as an "alarm clock" if you will for a minor that shouldn't be using the internet, etc. Would it be best to do something such as setup a crontab as a user to play a MP3 with something such as mpg321 at the time ? Or is there a simpler way to go with this? [00:00] How do youtell if your wireless driver is loaded with the kernel or separate module? [00:00] od3n_: If you are using 3.6 then I believe there is an incompatibility. [00:00] bkocev: how about for the package fmtutil belongs to? dpkg -S $(which fmtutil) will tell you the package [00:00] magicianlord: lshw -C Network [00:01] jrib: texlive-base-bin: /usr/bin/fmtutil [00:01] crucialhoax: command not found [00:01] bkocev: alright, did you ever add that "set -x" to the postrm script? [00:01] Hi All! Is it possible to use old Nvidia Quadro card on a new Ubuntu system? The kernel module seem not to exist any more. [00:01] Perhaps I could set it up that way, and then they just press the power button once , if it's possible in ubuntu for powerbutton shutdown? to turn off the alarm ? [00:01] ok I will take a look at that then [00:02] jrib: placed it in the second file as you said, and removed it from the first one [00:02] it might be 3.6 but I am not 100% sure on that [00:02] magicianlord: You typed it wrong. [00:02] bkocev: good can you pastebin the new output from « sudo apt-get install -f » ? [00:02] Fleg_, there is envyng to try nvidia [00:02] how do i install sagem f@st 800 driver on ubuntu??? [00:02] magicianlord: it is a lowercase L lshw -C Network [00:03] i did lowercase [00:03] id have to install that program [00:03] huh [00:03] I just ran it. You are typing something wrong. [00:05] aguitel: the new nvidia driver doesn't support this card any more. [00:05] how do i install sagem f@st 800 driver on ubuntu??? [00:05] Okay, the speakers still don't work. [00:05] no, it doesnt work on this distribution. [00:05] if I start installing with ubuntu mini... would that be = to seeing if i can boot with alternate ? same install just packages online ? the description says it's "LIKE" alternate. I'd prefer to use a CDRW not a DVD [00:05] This happened once before on linux mint. [00:05] magicianlord: What distro are you using? [00:06] Fleg_, try installing envy and with this apps maybe nvidia is istalled [00:06] It's Arch. [00:07] Is there a way I can kill pulseaudio and alsamixer and restart the processes, so maybe my speakers will work again? [00:07] aguitel: ok. will try it out. [00:07] Hi everyone, can someone help me? I just installed ati 10.3, everything works but when I play a game my screen goes weird [00:07] jonas: What game? [00:07] magicianlord: You are in the wrong channel then lol [00:07] Hi. Has anyone here worked with the panorama stitching tool Hugin? I want to use ist to stitch together a scanned newspaper article but have no idea what camera data to enter (e.g. focal length).. any ideas? [00:08] Is there a way to set the notification area to load the sound, network, and battery in the same order each time I reboot? [00:08] dakira: Do it in gimp. [00:08] Fleg_, it is free and you do not loose nothing [00:08] i tried frozen-bubble [00:08] Hi i need sound help :P PA isn't allowing me to record anything :( How to i change the mic to Alsa or OSS? [00:08] Fleg_, what driver are you using now [00:08] crucialhoax: This is the only room where people answer questions. [00:08] hello , please i want to configure snort with iptables in ubuntu any one can help me and thanks [00:08] jrib: http://pastebin.com/yi46AiH1 [00:08] aguitel: I used the old nvidia closed driver before upgrade. [00:09] i do have dualmonitor, I don't know if that has to do with it [00:09] magicianlord: That might be so, but this is the ubuntu room, not arch... [00:09] aguitel: now apt says it is not anymore available. [00:09] Fleg_, make backup of xorg.cong file [00:09] aguitel: xorg-drivers-nvidia [00:09] Yes, that is correct. [00:09] aguitel: ok. [00:09] However, it's a common linux question [00:09] Thanks for your help, homie. [00:10] Fleg_, a i dont know envy anymore is not available [00:10] bkocev: ah, I see. Let's check fmtutil-sys. Use dpkg -S $(which fmtutil-sys) to find the package and then use apt-cache policy on that package [00:10] magicianlord: right click on netwrok manager or whatever you are using and choose connection info. See what the driver is [00:10] Could someone help me with it? [00:11] i have a problem installing ubundu dual-boot with windows 7 can anyone help me? [00:11] bkocev: one interesting I notice in the file in /tmp is it says "This is XeTeXk" [00:11] crucialhoax: wicd does not show the driver [00:11] jonas: have you tried the game with compiz disabled¿ [00:11] !help > xajis [00:11] xajis, please see my private message [00:11] bkocev: ah wait, that's normal [00:11] magicianlord: is lspci -vvv what you are looking for? [00:12] hold on [00:12] jrib: http://pastebin.com/miWiqNKq [00:12] Odd-rationale: no such file or directory [00:12] Ehm no, I'll try, but when the game loads and I close it, my dualview is corrupted, I see half of my screen on both [00:12] magicianlord: /sbin/lspci -vvv [00:13] bkocev: ok, so it doesn't seem like it's an issue with the versions. But pdftex should accept the -jobname option and yours doesn't [00:13] aguitel: ok I found the problem. the old driver is not working with the new xorg anymore. [00:13] Odd-rationale: same [00:13] Odd-rationale: He is using Arch. [00:13] thanks anyway [00:13] magicianlord: One second. [00:13] If this happens, is there a fast way to restore my graphics without rebooting? [00:13] Hi Guys, some1 knows how to force to delete a file with mouse.... drag and drop + Ctrl in the trash???Maybe???thanks! [00:14] jonas: kill x [00:14] Guys.. any idea how to fix this? http://yfrog.com/5mimg0722zj :p [00:14] jonas: Ctrl + Alt + Bkspc [00:14] thanks, i'll try without compiz [00:14] bkocev: you don't have tetex installed right? [00:15] magicianlord: can i pm you? [00:15] yes sure [00:15] how can I convert a cdr to iso? [00:16] jrib: tetexlive-base-bin installed [00:16] jrib: sorry [00:16] jrib: the last is wrong [00:16] bkocev: ok [00:16] jrib: no such installation [00:16] magicianlord: try dmesg | grep firmware as root [00:16] !cdr [00:16] bkocev: aptitude search '~ntetex~i' [00:17] jrib: nothing [00:17] hi, I created a .tar backup of a directory on one user account and copied it to another user account and extracted it. However, all of the file/folder permissions are from the other user account on this new account, anyway to reset users/groups? [00:17] no, turning of compiz didn't do anything. also kill x didn't work (it told me something about garbage) [00:17] bkocev: the problem is I don't know anything about fmtutil [00:18] jonas: Did you kill x as sudo? [00:18] magn3ts: Rip the cd as an .iso [00:18] Guys.. any idea how to fix this? http://yfrog.com/5mimg0722zj :p [00:18] crucialhoax, its a cdr file [00:18] ah no :p [00:18] magn3ts: Sorry, I thought you meant, a CD-R... Oops. [00:18] jrib: but is there any way for removing the texlive package completely and then i do reinstall it again without the texlive-full [00:19] crucialhoax: it says elentech.c [00:19] ill try that next time, but do you now what else it could be causing [00:19] bkocev: well you can edit those postrm files to exit successfully, but that means it won't do what the maintainer thought should be done after removal [00:19] YEAH MY NAME IS PEDRO [00:19] YEAH IM REALLY COOL [00:19] PEDRO_EL_GRANDE: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:19] YEAH MY NAME IS PEDRO PEDRO AND I AM REALLY COOL [00:19] degh [00:19] its not only frozen-bubble, every game that runs fullscreen causes this to happen [00:20] Hi Guys, some1 knows how to force to delete a file with mouse.... drag and drop + Ctrl in the trash???Maybe???thanks! [00:20] jrib: this soudns bad [00:20] magicianlord: OK, is that the only thing that is showing? [00:21] jrib: and i have to write my thesis :( [00:21] bkocev: help me google: pdftex "unrecognized option" jobname [00:21] g: just try your own suggestion. Or control + delete key. [00:21] I have Ubuntun 9.10 installed (and upgrade since 8.04), I've changed my CPU from a i386 to and AMD64 (Opteron). Is there an easy way to switch to 64 bits or I should just reinstall from scratch ? [00:21] bkocev: you can still write it, just don't compile it :) [00:21] Procule: the only way is to reinstall [00:22] yeah that's what I thought... I would have to reinstall all the packages [00:22] bkocev: can you pastebin: pdftex --help [00:22] Dinglehopper Madness! [00:22] is there a way to install a windows on an already made partition from within linux? that way i can edit my bootloader back without needing a live cd? [00:23] Hopefully, I would only have to backup my /home [00:23] jrib: What is the problem that bkocev is having? [00:23] crucial:thank i've just tried but it does'nt works..sobh... [00:23] g: ctrl + delete does not work? [00:23] melwtech35: installing windows will overwrite the MBR, and you would need to reinstall grub with a liveCD [00:23] melwtech35, what do you want to do ? your solution seems akward [00:24] crucialhoax: http://pastebin.com/yi46AiH1 (we added set -x to the polish package, scroll down there), http://pastebin.com/7qQSUvED (pastebin of /tmp/fmtutil*) [00:24] jrib: http://pastebin.com/tswU3nAS [00:24] melwtech35, ah I understand, create a boot disk [00:25] can anyone think of a reason my vino-server isnt sending refreshes [00:25] bkocev: fwiw, I just tested on an 8.04 machine and pdftex has -jobname there when I output pdftex --help [00:25] alquien de españa? [00:25] ?? [00:25] bkocev: we may have done this before but: hash -r; which pdftex [00:26] !es | alexneb [00:26] alexneb: 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. [00:26] Procule, i was hoping i could dd a windows install from within linux or something without needing to reboot linux [00:26] alexneb: sí, pero aquí solo se habla en inglés, entra al canal en español: /join #ubuntu-es [00:26] ok gracias...

[00:27] jrib: I do not get it... Plus I seen the options should have been -- not - try that possibly [00:27] crucialhoax:no sorry...it does't work... [00:27] Hi i need sound help :P PA isn't allowing me to record anything :( How to i change the mic to Alsa or OSS? [00:28] jrib: I do not understand what needs to be accomplished... [00:28] hey guys.. for some reason my alt+tab, alt+spacebar, alt+f1/f2, and global hotkeys (super+c for amarok's play/pause) aren't working. they were for awhile, but then just randomly stopped. any idea why? [00:28] hi people! what is "snort"? it's been eating my cpu for a while, and kinda bothers me =) [00:29] underdev: ubuntu mini install in progress... thanks for pointing towards the alternate versions. kudos to the channel's team [00:29] crucialhoax: well at this point, all the packages are failing to get removed because fmtutil fails. In the log it says it fails because: pdftex: unrecognized option `-jobname=latex' which shouldn't happen because -jobname should be a valid option (and is on my 8.04 and debian squeeze here) [00:29] tm0: Whatever the system is using is what the mic will use. [00:29] bkocev: you're on jaunty right? amd64 or i386? [00:29] jrib: i386 [00:29] crucialhoax how do i change it then? In sound options? No option for it. Can i just remove PA? [00:30] bkocev: darn, I'm gonna check my laptop (it's running jaunty) to see if its pdftex has -jobname [00:30] hello , please i want to configure snort with iptables in ubuntu any one can help me and thanks [00:30] Can someone help me why full games cause to corrupt my graphics settings? [00:30] jrib: thanks [00:30] bkocev: but it's amd64, thus why I said "darn" [00:31] tm0: `gstreamer-properties` type that into a termianl [00:31] terminal* [00:31] Hi folks! [00:32] crucialhoax AHAH! Thank you i will reboot and test, thank you :) [00:32] I have a question about netbook remix: if I install unr on my netbook, will I have to stick with the "netbook-gui" or can I somehow switch to "normal" X ? [00:32] tm0: No problem :) hope it works :) [00:32] How can I output video from my TV tuner card to a file with a certain encoding? Note that I want to use a QAM source [00:32] bkocev: it does have -jobname and it has the same version of texlive-base-bin. So at this point, I think we should try to reinstall texlive-base-bin [00:32] Traintop: `sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop` will give you the normal gui [00:32] jrib: ok [00:33] jrib: so basically sudo apt-get remove texlive-base-bin fails? [00:33] Traintop: yes you can [00:33] bkocev: check « md5sum $(which pdftex) » now, then reinstall texlive-base-bin, then check it again so we can see if it changes [00:34] Traintop: but you basically would end with a regular Ubuntu installation. [00:34] crucialhoax: but the system will have to restart X for this? or can I use a key-combination to switch? e.g. is netbook,gui, is "normal" X? [00:34] * jrib wishes he knew how to use debsums [00:34] crucialhoax: I think he's just running apt-get install -f [00:35] evrytime i try to set up my laptops internet on my friends wireless router it comes up saying can not connect to network, same thing happens on his ubuntu desktop, but his windows laptop is fine. anybody know why? [00:35] Traintop: I am not sure about that =/ [00:35] bkocev: if you want, we can learn to use debsums together as it's meant for cases like these [00:36] jrib: i might try [00:36] jrib: Ok. I am assume that it is not fixing the broken packages? [00:36] jrib: its really important the success of all this [00:36] crucialhoax: yes [00:36] jrib: :) [00:36] bkocev: apparently it's really easy to use: debsums texlive-base-bin [00:36] jrib: What about `sudo apt-get check`? [00:37] crucialhoax: I'm not familiar with that, what does it do? [00:37] jrib: first the reinstallation is running now [00:37] bkocev: oh ok, let's do that first then [00:37] jrib: checks for broken dependencies. [00:37] jrib: Might be irrelevant [00:37] crucialhoax: thanks, we'll check afterwards then :) [00:38] hunahpu: so I cannot switch between the two guis in just a second? [00:38] bkocev: did you compile anything on this box? [00:38] jrib: i started it in synaptic and the dpgk is busy [00:38] Traintop: no [00:38] hunahpu: would be more like switching from kde to gnome or similar? [00:38] bkocev: I mean beforehand [00:38] jrib: yes [00:38] bkocev: what did you compile? [00:38] i wrote my proposal [00:39] and compiled it [00:39] in winefish [00:39] bkocev: ah, I meant like "make install" something, not typeset it with latex [00:39] Traintop: not exactly, you would boot to a regular Ubuntu everytime; both use gnome [00:39] jrib: actually [00:39] jrib: i experimented sth with miktex [00:40] Hey, someone just helped me with sound, and i rebooted, nothing doing, alsa isn't recording eitehr :/ [00:40] and that did not succeed [00:40] bkocev: ah, that sounds like it may be the cause of your woes [00:40] bkocev: at least plausible [00:40] jrib: that did not work [00:40] tm0: Did you try any other settings? [00:40] jrib: and at some point it said [00:40] jrib: no compiler [00:40] tm0: Make sure the application has the correct settings to record as well. [00:40] where are the help docbook xml source files located? === sick0 is now known as Guest85097 [00:41] jrib: http://pastebin.com/6MBVfWmU [00:41] Can someone help me with this graphics problem? please [00:41] jrib: reinstallation did not work [00:41] crucialhoax i just used sound menu and screamed, hoping to see something on the screen, nothing happened [00:41] hunahpu: yeah... -I just meant the "complexity" of the switch, kde and gnome were just examples to tell you what I meant in basic; -my now-installed linux is linpus: which sucks a lot, but you can define a shortcut to switch between netbook-gui and "normal" xfce-desktop, which is quite nice depending on what you want to do... [00:41] bkocev: md5sum did not change? [00:42] jrib: nope [00:42] bkocev: try debsums texlive-base-bin [00:42] tm0: So that brings up another question, is the mic recognized? In the sound preferences in the `Input` tab there should be a `bar` towards the middle of the screen. Watch bar as you talk. [00:43] hi all [00:43] crucialhoax the bar doesn't move. === log|out is now known as log|in [00:43] i need some ubuntu sound advice too [00:43] Traintop: the netbook-edition look depends on an applet called "go home", so I suppose you could use kill and restart it to switch [00:43] jrib: i did not have the program lets if the installation works [00:44] tm0: then the mic is not functional. [00:44] jrib: but is still trying first to remove those packages [00:44] hunahpu,cruxialhoax: thanks a lot to both of you; -I think I will just try unr and see if it fits... :-) [00:44] Traintop: But when you install the ubuntu-desktop package to get a regular ubuntu look, it installs more elements which I'm not sure how would work along the netbook applet [00:44] crucialhoax which means? [00:44] Traintop: Best of luck :) [00:45] bkocev: use dpkg to install texlive-base-bin (you can use packages.ubuntu.com to get the deb if you don't have it) [00:45] Hum, I wonder if I should be using launchpad or sourceforge for open source package hosting... [00:45] tm0: Maybe try playing with the sound settings, other than that, that is out of my knowledge =[ [00:45] crucialhoax Thanks anyways for your help :) [00:45] tm0: Hope it gets resolved :] [00:46] My speakers still aren't working... [00:46] I am getting worried.

[00:47] tm0: what is the laptop model? Or is this a usb mic? [00:47] Gaz_84: I think you and I have the same problem. [00:47] hi all [00:48] crucialhoax acer aspire 5810T Linlap says it should work :/ [00:48] Can someone please help Gaz_84 and I with our sound issue? [00:48] tm0: Give me a minute while I search.

[01:06] bkocev: this package is probably what caused the issue by the way [01:06] crucialhoax nothing doing :S [01:06] ...how [01:06] snark [01:06] jrib: at the moment [01:06] Lenin_Cat: Generally by initating a conversation about the weather. [01:06] jrib: should we remove that [01:06] I installed kubuntu desktop, just to learn about KDE, I didn't like it and uninstalled it with synaptics… The splash screen when I boot up and the mouse pointer are still the versions from kubuntu, how do I revert that? [01:07] jrib: or leave it as it is [01:07] tm0: meh [01:07] bkocev: if it lets you remove it, you should remove it. I would reinstall all the texlive stuff afterwards since this package seems to interfere with it somehow [01:07] brax, I want to compile dosemu, but I dont want apt-get to think dosemu is uninstalled [01:07] brax: No luck? [01:07] No, zen933k ... [01:08] Lenin_Cat: you want "equivs" (I assume you know what you are doing) [01:08] It's so frustrating! This happened to me the last time I used wubi too! [01:08] brax: Can you boot from a usb or live cd and install ubuntu? [01:08] hello all, im trying to mount an ext3 partition with option iocharset=iso8859-1 but it fails with the message: "EXT3-fs: Unrecognized mount option "charset=iso8859-1" or missing value". I do have iso8859-1 locale support. im running 9.04 server. somewhere on the net someone mentioned that i should put this option on fstab as there is a bug on the mount command but even there it errors out. [01:08] However, I did do something differently the time that the speakers started malfunctioning... [01:08] crucialhoax: did it work. My mount man page says iocharset is a FAT option, not applicable to ext3... [01:08] crucialhoax i added another mic, still nothing :/ [01:08] do you think removing the battery and using a plain ac cord would affect speaker behavior? [01:09] tm0: Might want to file a bug report as even google has a hard time finding anything. [01:09] jrib: http://pastebin.com/YKKM0MRQ [01:09] brax: No. [01:09] jrib: how can i reinstall the texlive completely from the terminal? [01:09] crucialhoax: Awwwwwwwwwwwwww... [01:09] crucialhoax: What am I supposed to do? [01:09] brax: Start a conversation with the speakers about Usher. [01:10] crucialhoax wait, the second mic works. Where should i file it? In launchpad? [01:10] crucialhoax: That was funny, I wish I could laugh but I'm too anxious. [01:10] i am haveing troubles with an Alfa AWUS036H i purchased a week ago, when i plug it in it tells me the network is not ready and then i do 'ifconfig wlan0 up' it tells me that there is no such device [01:10] tm0: Sweet! Yes, that would be the correct place. [01:11] bkocev: I'm not sure of an easy way to do that. aptitude search '~ntexlive~i' should give you a decent list. debsums would also tell you if you had any files without the proper checksum installed [01:11] No sound due to installation of gstreamer plugin. Tried apt-get remove, but to no avail. Help wanted. [01:11] Losha, i see... even then if i do have iso8859 support how come i canot stat filenames with accented characters? [01:11] crucialhoax so just screw the internal mic. I should be able to feed a cable in to keep it right?(To record into audacity? [01:11] brax: Settle down then ;] [01:11] crucialhoax: I really need my speakers to work >,< [01:12] input': http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205449 [01:12] Hi All - can anyone help me out with an Nvidia/graphics problem - proprietary driver loaded but not in use (Hardware Drivers), and on every reboot I'm losing my windows manager (I can get it back for the session with System->Appearance->Change from None to any other option) [01:12] tm0: If the mic is working, then audacity should recognize it. I have never tried it tho :/ [01:12] crucialhoax: And it makes me aggravated because this happened to me when I used linux mint via wubi too... [01:12] brax: That is because #wubifails [01:12] anyone? [01:12] So is this recurring problem due to wubi? [01:13] brax: What kind of laptop is this? When I was using wubi, I got my sound to work, then it messed it up for the Windows side. Idk. [01:13] i am haveing troubles with an Alfa AWUS036H i purchased a week ago, when i plug it in it tells me the network is not ready and then i do 'ifconfig wlan0 up' it tells me that there is no such device [01:13] crucialhoax Okay i will try, you've been awesome [01:13] It's an hp pavilion dv7. [01:13] Nvidia driver installed is Nvidia-Current on Lucid, was working until reboot today [01:13] jrib: should i go one by one in each of these and do sudo apt-get remove package_name? [01:14] i should rephrase my question. Im trying to mount an ext3 partition that has filenames with accented characters. i cannot stat those files, even escaping or quoting the filenames. how can I circumvent this? it will be a one time only operation. this drive was salvaged from a mybook world edition. im trying to copy things out. [01:14] MindTheGap: I'm not sure. I think it has something to do with the locale you set, but that's just a guess, as I've never used anything except the standard USA setup... [01:14] bkocev: just do « sudo apt-get reinstall package1 package2 ... » [01:14] tm0: No problem. Hope the built-in mic gets fixed :) [01:14] jrib: ok [01:14] crucialhoax: there is an issue with dual booting. you need to shutdown before loading windows to get your sound back. has to do with the drivers not killing the card properly in linux [01:14] brax: Ok, one sec. [01:14] crucialhoax nah no need for that, was just using for a test [01:14] but night htough [01:14] zen933k: I have no sound problems... [01:15] Ignroe me then ;) [01:15] haha alright [01:15] MindTheGap: use the inode (ls -il will give it to you, then you can use find to search by inode with the -inum switch). That's one way anyway [01:15] zen933k, ditto here too. I dual boot all the time without any sound issues [01:15] brax: I remember now! [01:15] Following this in terminal is tough...busy channel with the beta in motion [01:15] MindTheGap: if you're not sure what I mean: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/delete-remove-files-with-inode-number.html [01:15] no $hit [01:16] hi folks, brand new fresh install of 9.10 and I can't print from okular unless I launch it as root. Any ideas how to fix this?? [01:16] MindTheGap: note that deletes files, not moves them on that particular page. Modify accordingly [01:17] crucialhoax: Do you?! *excitement* [01:17] brax: That series of laptops has a bug that effects alsa [01:17] MindTheGap: can you do any file operations on the accented filenames e.g. a mv. What about a recursive copy 'cp -r . ' [01:17] brax: It is on the ubuntu sound page. Once sec [01:17] Bah... that sucks hard candy... [01:17] brax: no more excitement? haha [01:18] crucialhoax: Is there a probable solution? Like another sound program? [01:18] brax: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting <----it is about halfway down. [01:18] brax: Or just search that page for dv7 [01:18] jrib, thanks! i'll keep that for reference if I dont get to a less drastic solution. thing is there are a lot of accented files scattered all over the volume. [01:19] hey guys...I got a question [01:19] Losha, I cannot stat the filename [01:19] !ask | ravigehlot [01:19] ravigehlot: 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. :-) [01:19] MindTheGap: if you want to just copy everything, what Losha suggested is your solution [01:19] no command works [01:19] How do you know which gpg key to retrieve from keyserver.ubuntu.com? [01:19] MindTheGap: what happens with the recursive copy exactly? [01:19] cp -R will? [01:20] actually i just asumed it would fail as df, mv, cp all failed [01:20] lemme try it, just a sec [01:20] how to format a write protected pendrive [01:20] MindTheGap: the thing about 'cp -r . ' is it doesn't refer to any filenames with accents in it... === ryaxnb_ is now known as ryaxnbuntu [01:21] how to format a write protected pendrive using ubuntu???] [01:22] by "write protected", do you mean read-only or encrypted? [01:23] haaaaaaaaaaalllllllllllllllllllllllllllloooooooooooooo [01:23] :) [01:23] Is printing supposed to work "out of the box" or is there some trick I have to do to be able to print? [01:23] hello, is there a thing to read somewhere on a ubuntu for dummies kinda thing related to internet security and configuring the os to a more secure state than default? whereas in wondowsland you would load a bunch of av tools etc [01:23] JoeSomebody: install ufw (uncomplicated firewall), clamav [01:24] JoeSomebody: and configure ufw to deny all incoming connections by default [01:24] ok [01:24] sounds good [01:24] JoeSomebody: ufw is rly simple despite that it is a terminal application [01:25] JoeSomebody: it's basically an easy frontend to iptables, which can be a nitemare to set up [01:25] JoeSomebody: `sudo apt-get install gufw` that has a GUI [01:25] ok, how about clamav, it is not always running , right? [01:26] JoeSomebody: not always, no. but remember, linux can't run malware that targets windows. [01:26] jrib, Losha, im gonna have to try it later as one more problem appeared. the destination fs is a HFS Journaled, im not sure i can force rw mount safely. got to do some research on it. thanks anyway guys! [01:26] JoeSomebody: clamav does have an automatic updater, but no on access scanner (that I know of) [01:26] in windowsland stuff has to be alwsays running, not sure about here [01:27] yes probably mot much malware targeting ubuntu, but could be some? [01:27] !av | JoeSomebody [01:27] JoeSomebody: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 [01:27] JoeSomebody: thats what's nice about linux in terms of security. windows has all kinds of holes that malware can take advantage of, while linux doesn't let anything run as root (unless u tell it to) [01:27] where is a good place to get help for basic questions like: "Why does printing always fail"? [01:27] jhambo: by "fail" you mean? [01:27] JoeSomebody: the safest thing for a linux newbie is to run behind a NAT router. It's cheap insurance... [01:28] vsingh165: it says "stopped" and doesn't print [01:28] i have a nat router [01:28] Losha: Definitely [01:28] I use my cheese with my webcam for surveilance. But sometimes when I come back, it quit early and the file has no video, or it doesn't process, and I cannot seek. This time I noticed, pulse audio crashed or something, in the log viewer file user.log, so I think that is the cause. Any ideas or comments? Much appreciated [01:28] and know firewall stuff in winland [01:28] jhambo: go to "System" -> "Administration" -> "Printing" [01:28] anyone know of a rtf to txt converter? I used to use docfrac, but it just fell of the face of the web. [01:28] jrib: what about if i remove all those packages and then install texmaker instead of winefish and then see which packages i need and then install just them [01:28] vsingh165, linux has holes too, it's just that those who target linux are outnumbered by those who target windows [01:28] jhambo: your printer could be disabled [01:28] jrib: or you think that just reinstalling is ok [01:29] JoeSomebody: that's good. Make sure it's configured not to allow incoming connections (sometimes called virtual servers) and you eliminate %99.9 of vulnerabilities... [01:29] jrib: in the sense that the problem was not from the texlive-full [01:29] vsingh165: I can print a test page but not a pdf [01:30] bkocev: just reinstalling should be ok. debsums will definitely catch any problem [01:30] any fellow JACK users here who have gotten it to work w/o lots of xruns? i've tried lots of different settings and it doesn't stop churning out xruns... [01:30] vsingh165: it's not disabled [01:30] usingh :read only [01:30] jrib: debsums texlive? [01:30] Is there a way to set the notification area to load the sound, network, and battery in the same order each time I reboot? [01:30] eradicus, Linux is much more secure and stable. Plus, it is open source, we can see the hole(bad programming or intentional), windows is full of intentional holes [01:31] bkocev: you want to have it run on all the tex-related packages [01:31] To open a folder on my server via ftp, do I just connect to it, or do I have to start an ftp service on my server first? [01:31] Just installed a new screencard its a gainward 9500GT.. ubuntu only gets to the logo loading screen and then there is no signal.. what could cause this? [01:31] jrib: the way you think is better? [01:31] jhambo: go to "System" -> "Admin" -> "Log File Viewer" and view lpr.log (scroll to bottom for latest log entry) [01:31] ok thanks all [01:31] jrib: i am not sure [01:31] Osama bin laden can send a spy, and put a back hole in the windows software and everyone would be affected [01:31] JoeSomebody: no problem [01:31] bkocev: debsums is the more elegant solution, but both will get the job done [01:31] How do I use ps to give me all the processes that I have started in gnome. There are several ways of using it that produce much too much input. [01:32] JoeSomebody: the other thing worth doing is to install the noscript addon into firefox... [01:32] ogen: `ps -A` or `ps aux` [01:32] JoeSomebody: and adblock plus [01:32] Losha: Sometimes that gets annoying lol. [01:32] one more thing, i have karmic / xp dual boot , can i update it to the beta? and how do i? [01:32] i do have ff and those already thanks tho [01:32] jrib: i understood that i should first reinstall and then run debsums texlive [01:33] crucialhoax: I know, but for newbies, it's probably safest until they get their feet... [01:33] * Adyeths bangs his head against his desk repeatedly [01:33] Losha: Maybe, but it always pops up asking stuff. [01:33] JoeSomebody: http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/lucid/beta2 [01:33] bkocev: it's not necessary to do both, do you understand what debsums does? [01:33] JoeSomebody: http://bit.ly/dw6MZv that describes how to do it [01:33] anybody try out lucid yet? [01:33] Adyeths: Still working on the original issue? [01:33] jrib: nope [01:34] JoeSomebody: you can, but the beta isn't stable yet, and probably won't be for another couple of months. Do yourself a favor and hold off on the beta until you can tell the difference between a bug and pilot error... [01:34] sadly, yes I am. [01:34] hah , ok [01:34] bkocev: it compares the checksums for files in a package with what they should be and tells you if anything doesn't match [01:34] JoeSomebody: Specifically, To upgrade from Ubuntu 9.10 on a desktop system, press Alt+F2 and type in "update-manager -d" (without the quotes [01:34] JoeSomebody: i'd try the beta in a virtual machine to be safe [01:34] JoeSomebody: such as in virtualbox (which is free from apt repos) [01:34] I have a server running Ubuntu 9.10. I'm currently on laptop outside my LAN. To connect to my server via ftp, do I just connect via my GUI, or do I have to initiate an ftp service on my server? [01:34] i may wait [01:34] jrib: so if i do debsums pakage1 package2 .....? this will be enough [01:34] not that long now [01:35] jrib: even all packages at the same time [01:35] it HAS to be some sort of a configuration issue related to X11. But I can't figure out how to fix it. Only thing I know to do now (which is a bit excessive) is to just reinstall the system completely. [01:35] bkocev: yes, as long as you check the output for any discrepencies [01:35] JoeSomebody: yeah thats true, lucid will be complete before we know it [01:35] JoeSomebody: You may want to wait...It can be a headache if something isn't fitfor your machine and you're not keen on troubleshooting yourself [01:35] Adyeths: And if reinstalling fixes it, then reproduces the same error? Then what? [01:35] and if I'm gonna do that I may as well just wait until the next version of ubuntu comes out. [01:35] JoeSomebody: or use a virtual machine so u don't clobber ur real machine [01:35] jrib: and if I do reinstall i dont have to check [01:36] then I get mad and probably switch to another distro. :) [01:36] bkocev: correct [01:36] haha [01:36] jrib: cool [01:36] will [01:36] thank you soo much [01:36] and probably repeat the process until I run out of distros to switch to. [01:36] bkocev: no problem [01:36] is there an ubuntu studio irc channel? i'm having troubles with JACK...can't record thru USB with my guitar pedal to ardour b/c of it. [01:36] It still doesn't work, crucialhoax [01:36] yes i am going to buy more gear, and vm some stuff [01:37] or until I figure out where the configuration files are that are causing the problem. [01:37] Is Ruby included in Ubuntu by default? [01:37] * Spreadsheet_ thinks Ruby is amazing, but obviously Ubuntu is biased towards Python [01:37] who wanted to know about ftp server? [01:37] Python is cool too [01:37] u have a beer and plus acknowledgement in the thesis :P [01:37] zen933k: Me [01:38] help! anybody been able to customize the lucid live cd? [01:38] haavaros: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=79588 [01:38] zen933k: thz [01:38] 大家好 [01:38] -z +x [01:38] vsingh165: there don't seem to be any entries in lpr.log that coincide with the failed printing. I did find that if I launch okular with root then I can print without problems... [01:38] haavaros: I would recommend using OpenSSH however, [01:38] zen933k: I've tried SSH, but I get very low speed [01:38] Adyeths: all the distros have problems of one kind or another. No software is bug-free. That said, some bugs in some distros are easier to live with than others... [01:38] haavaros: It is a bit slower though. [01:39] Hello everyone. [01:39] jacket: !cn [01:39] !hello | jacket [01:39] jacket: 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! [01:39] zen933k: I'm using ssh for most things, but I want full speed for larger files [01:39] haavaros: Indeed. Samba is the fastest. I'm building a home uPnP server, unfortunately I had to use USB transfer my movies [01:39] i need to be able to use ctrl-alt-f1 (or f2, f3, etc). [01:40] brax: That is the only fix I know of. I can google if you like [01:40] with apache running on ubuntu is their away to manage sites remotely with web editing tools? [01:40] crucialhoax: Why do ubuntu derivatives hate me? [01:40] lol [01:40] zen933k: But this is for access from outside my LAN. I guess FTP is the fastest way then? [01:40] haavaros: You could consider the cloud option too [01:40] brax: Its not ubuntu, its the drivers.l [01:40] zen933k: haavros: depends on the files I'd say. If the files compress well, and you have cpu to spare, you might win using scp with compression... [01:40] lol [01:41] crucialhoax: How would I get the linux drivers for this sound card? [01:41] brax: Are you using 9.10? 32 or 64? [01:41] 9.10, 64. [01:41] thx one sec [01:41] jrib, Losha, im back :) ok, so I cannot write to this hfs partition which means i do have to copy those accented files over by scp. i imafine i will again run on the "cannot stat: áçênted fílê" :) [01:41] Losha: I think for me it came down to having to configure a couple of services for a one time use. [01:41] a/w 23 [01:41] ugh [01:41] s/imafine/imagine/ [01:41] jrib: winefish works [01:42] Losha: But I found google docs and Ubuntu One good places to upload to and get files from [01:42] jrib: i have not reinstalled anything [01:42] jrib: should i still do that? [01:42] Anyone know if google disabled the Firefox download add-ons recently? Mine suddenly disappeared even though I used it earlier today. [01:42] MindTheGap: the same trick with cp may work with scp i.e. scp -r . . Worth a try... [01:42] jrib: to be on the save side? [01:42] zen933k: Cloud... what would the benefit over ftp be? [01:42] brax: paste.ubuntu.com the results from `sudo lspci | grep -i audio` [01:42] bkocev: you could check what the miktex package does exactly and see if it did anything more than replace pdftex [01:43] how do i start my power manager? [01:43] haavaros: Lack of needing to set it up. This is only if you get files once and a while. It is also available from anywhere without needing anything but a broswer. [01:43] Anyone else have any trouble with the 1-click youtube downloader add on? [01:43] How can I update my version from the terminal no gui? [01:43] your: gnome-power-manager I believe [01:43] jhambo: are you part of the lp group? type "groups" (w/o quotes) in a terminal [01:44] jhambo: if not, add yourself to lp like this: sudo gpasswd -a username lp [01:44] crucialhoax, well it says its running but when i boot it says its not and my screen flickers [01:44] your: Is it in the notification area? [01:44] haavaros: Are you familar with Ubuntu One and Google Docs?

Check System > Preferences > Startup Applications then [01:45] brax: lol why? [01:45] crucialhoax: Because I have to deal with all of their crap. [01:46] brax: buy a mac :P [01:46] Hey guys whats up [01:46] * your reinstall ubuntu [01:46] zen933k: Ah, ok, so that's cloud. Well, I'm thinking about files at a couple of gigs each [01:46] i dont want to deal with any of this [01:46] fresh install is best [01:46] zen933k: Too closed source. [01:46] crucialhoax: Even if I do a clean install, the sound will still be buggy, won't it...? [01:46] brax: Might be yes. [01:47] And, by the way, oddly enough, I always hear the bongos on the splash screen, but with the problem, I never hear any sounds after that. [01:47] When the line is sliding across the bar, it shows the mouse and gets all skippy. [01:47] alright guys, dont know if this is the correct place to ask for help on this, but i need help with grub [01:48] brax: Can't say I agree, with the exceptin of the iP*** world. OSX has BSDports and practically all the same software as Windows minus the games. [01:48] i had a similar problem. i just did a fresh install and it fixed it. everything has been running smoothly ever since [01:48] Are you talking to me, will__ ? [01:48] yes Brax [01:48] Did you use wubi to install ubuntu first?

How do I install the standalone now? [02:19] digdug: I installed fglrx from the repositories and it works fine, I probably wouldn't go using their installer, that's just my opinion though === xiong_ is now known as xiong [02:20] digdug: the installer from the web, I mean [02:20] I was using fglrx, but I just got an HD 5770, and the fglrx drivers are saying it is unsupported [02:20] BANSHE3, do a ifconfig to see what IP address you are on, and replace my command with your IP (ie. if you are on 192.168.1.34, you'd scan nmap 192.168.1.0/24) [02:20] Just installed a new screencard its a gainward 9500GT.. ubuntu only gets to the logo loading screen and then there is no signal.. what could cause this? ctrl + alt + f1 gets me into consoll..

That's a NVidia based card, right? [02:22] digdug: I'm also on 5770 but I think I have the proposed and backports on. Also, I am testing Lucid. The version you are using is an older testing version for that chipset [02:22] k0d3g3ar: Yeah [02:22] Is there any way to protect myself against nautilus crashes? Can I invoke multiple instances or will that cause more issues than it resolves? [02:22] BANSHE3, so you'd do nmap 192.168.0.0/24 [02:22] ugh I'm having a hell of a time installing gfxboot, I backed up and uninstalled grub, now can I just sudo apt-get install gfxboot? [02:22] digdug: I'm guessing you're still on Karmic? [02:22] yes [02:23] Typically, I have several nautilus windows open at once, with several tabs in each. A crash means I lose my "place" everywhere. [02:23] lekefly_, I think the Nvidia drivers are not open source, so you have to elect to install them as proprietary drivers in Ubuntu [02:23] k0d3g3ar it only picks mine up not the other ones [02:23] digdug: yea, unfortunately the karmic repos don't have the newest fglrx to work with the HD 57's. You can use the ATI web installer, but make sure you choose to generate distribution packages for ubuntu/karmic, don't use the raw installer [02:23] k0d3g3ar: woot.. ? i tought that ATI cards where not open source.. [02:23] BANSHE3, it will search machines in the range 192.168.0.1-192.168.0.255. Are you sure they are on the same subnet as you are?

[02:29] lekefly_: The vesa driver is pretty bare-bones, but will work with 2D if you have a "standard" screen resolution [02:29] lekefly_, Yeh, I think so.

If you fix things and reboot.. in theory they should not reappear. [02:48] hunt: i've used a script b4 that when your in gnome it removes kde apps from your apps menu, and vice vera [02:48] ac [02:48] Unless theres somthing weird with what happendd while you updated. [02:48] is there a way to connect to an irc server through a proxy in empathy?

[02:54] allowoverride: what is the error when you burn a cd? [02:54] allowoverride: whts the perm issue? lol. [02:55] there is an issue with cdrecord i think i got probs with that to [02:55] * unixalot never used cdrecord i think [02:56] i think it maybe im part of cdrom group or not as sudo or usernamehere [02:56] allowoverride: sounds legit, [02:56] im pretty sure when i ganked kde desktop it did something, but who knows [02:56] i will try another media cd type soon [02:56] allowoverride: i just had 2 fix my linux [02:57] i dont use kde so it's not that [02:57] its something silly i know, like bad media or perms [02:57] allowoverride: for some reason i had to chmod 1777 /tmp because it would do the login for 10s thing [02:57] yup [02:57] unixalot, zackly [02:57] du is giving me errors for folders in my home directory.

[03:05] hiexpo: with a regular download you need to verify the md5 (hash) to make sure you got a valid copy, bittorrent usually does if for you [03:06] yep thought so [03:06] hiexpo: and when you burn it you need to make sure it does it as an iso image, what did you burn it with?

For ripping I recommend HandBrake. [03:27] randomusr_: OR it is like saying, Try looking here and it might be a push in the right direction [03:27] hiexpo: have you looked at k9copy or read up on k3b? [03:27] randomusr_: btw your attitude in this channel will reflect the kind of help you get from other users. [03:28] no attitude [03:28] smelled like it to me [03:28] hiexpo, for imaging there are a lot of good programs. If you want to make a dual layer dvd fit ina normal dvd you can use dvd::rip. It also works for ripping, but I like HandBrake for that. [03:28] sorry I wasn't more helpful [03:28] no that's just my feet [03:28] hiexpo: you may look for handbrake linux (not in the regular repos) [03:29] Nitsuga: handbrake ftw [03:29] i have tried them all and used dvdfab when i used windows and it worked perfect and am working on changing it to work with linux cause i contacted them and they are not willing to work on any linus support [03:29] linux: that didn't work, but after it didn't work, the livecd did [03:30] linux [03:30] hi everybody, i got a problem when i'm trying to install ubuntu 9.10 in my new notebook [03:30] !ask [03:30] 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).

It would not join me to #ubuntu. It sent me to #ubuntu-read-topic. [05:00] How can I use a livecd for fixing my grub? Can anyone help me? [05:01] say i just downloaded ubuntu 9.10 and installed it twice. for some reason, it refuses to set up grub. i know for a fact that the hard drive is 100% no hardware faults. is there a nice easy gui to use for installing grub? [05:01] dsnyders: not sure guess freenode scanned you and saw something? [05:01] follow the instructions to "fix" it [05:02] hylian: To me? [05:03] !grub2 [05:03] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [05:03] IdleOne, I've followed the instructions. (See /me is chatting). What worries me is why I was flagged? [05:03] dsnyders: you can ask one of the ops in that channel [05:04] bibi, what? [05:05] seriously what would make ubuntu not install grub. it even didnt set that hard drive with a boot flag. [05:05] IdleOne, They don't seem to be responding (or at least they didn't in the ten minutes or so between posting the question and testing the "fix". [05:05] hylian: did you use the alternate install disk? [05:06] dsnyders: might not be around to answer right now. you could maybe try asking in #freenode to see if they have info [05:06] IdleOne, Thanks. Will do. [05:06] hylian: what error are you getting when you boot your computer? [05:07] i'm trying to install lexmark z1300. is there a driver for that available around? [05:07] I install, it says everything is hunky dorie, then after install, there is no mbr. [05:08] I'm having trouble remembering the name of a web browser, nakaroma, nomaroko ... something [05:08] hylian: but it boots into ubuntu? [05:08] i tested it, by installing the windows mbr to it, no problem [05:08] no it wont boot because there is no master boot record. [05:09] it just had windows xp on it before this, and xp ran beautifull, so it's a ubuntu flub up. [05:09] hylian: how did you install? alternate disk? [05:09] W43372: namoroka [05:09] cyy: Yes! Thank you! That's in the software center, yes? [05:09] yes i have a ubuntu 9.10 cd, cofirm,ed 100% error free (nice program by the way, built in and all), so i dont get this [05:09] W43372: that was the code name for a firefox beta or something i think [05:10] hylian: when you say it wont boot, what happens? a flashing cursor? any errors? [05:10] and i dont understand the grub command for installing it via the terminal [05:10] anyone know if you can make wget save to someplace other than the current working directory? [05:11] hylian: sudo apt-get install grub [05:11] cyy: Yeah, i installed it a while ago because the addons I regularly use needed 3.6 and ubuntu comes with 3.5. I can get 3.6 now without having to install the beta, right? [05:11] the system says there is no master boot record, so it cant boot. [05:11] W43372: I would assume so, I don't run desktop ubuntu sorry! [05:11] Zoidfarb, use gwget [05:11] if it wheren't for the live cd, i wouldnt have a machine right now [05:12] why do you use apt-get to install what is already there...?? [05:12] cyy: Well, I just installed something from the Software Center that was labeled 3.6.4, so I'm assuming so. [05:12] hylian: sounds like a windows mbr error... [05:12] hello everybody, how can i log all the messages i get while im booting [05:12] Zoidfarb, its graphical wget [05:12] nope. nothing to do with windows. [05:12] BSOD :P [05:12] does anyone know of the bug where minimizing/maximizing takes forever with an ati graphics car [05:12] 0% windows problem [05:12] hylian: you asked how to install it... [05:13] hylian: was that a wubi install? [05:13] i want to know how to have grub install itself to the hard drive, thats what i meant [05:13] hylian: well if it was a grub issue you would get a grub error. if there was nothing on the HDD you would get a flashing cursor..

When I try to mail from the command line, I get the error send-mail: fatal: open /etc/postfix/main.cf: No such file or directory. Am I missing a package or something? [06:03] circuitman: there is also a 64bit version ifyou are running 64bit [06:03] opT10N5, You could install Docky2 and select Panel mode [06:03] histo, good point. i didnt ask that. [06:04] I'm having some serious trouble booting my mom's laptop. My Ubuntu partition has half disappeared... fdisk lists it, and I can mount it manually from the live CD, but blkid doesn't show it and the Ubuntu bootloader (which was working this morning) can't find the partition to boot from anymore... [06:04] dsnyders, yeah you need a SMTP server. Try installing the postifx package [06:04] circuitman here http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/3.1.6/virtualbox-3.1_3.1.6-59338_Ubuntu_karmic_i386.deb (only if you have the 32 bit version of ubuntu, most people do) [06:04] NinoScript, there is no Docky2 in synaptic [06:05] hylian:my system is of 32 bit [06:05] opT10N5, is there just "docky" then? [06:05] and running 9.04 [06:06] circuitman: http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/3.1.6/virtualbox-3.1_3.1.6-59338_Ubuntu_jaunty_i386.deb [06:06] how can i find out whether i run 32 or 64 bit version of ubuntu? [06:06] Kebap23: uname -m [06:07] circuitman, if you have 9.04 and havent updated yet then you want [06:07] --> Maddy- (~wagner@64.9.156.46) has joined #ubuntu [06:07] http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/3.1.6/virtualbox-3.1_3.1.6-59338_Ubuntu_jaunty_i386.deb [06:07] thanx crucialhoax [06:07] Kebap23: Np :) [06:08] opT10N5, if not, then it's not on karmic repositories, just lucid, but these 3 terminal lines will take care of that: "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:docky-core/ppa ; sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get install docky" [06:08] anyone know why a partition would show up with fdisk but not blkid? why /dev/sda3 wouldn't have a uuid? [06:09] circuitman are you downloading http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/3.1.6/virtualbox-3.1_3.1.6-59338_Ubuntu_jaunty_i386.deb? [06:10] i dont know which one to download [06:10] opT10N5, (copy paste it as if it were just 1 line into terminal, it will add the repository and then install it) [06:10] hylian:ose has less size [06:11] NinoScript, nice. got it. now how do I manage docky? [06:11] balleyne, you format it yet? [06:11] hylian: i download ose half [06:11] opT10N5, open it, right click on the leftest icon, open preferences [06:12] wildbat, it's an Ubuntu install that just stopped booting today [06:12] opT10N5, Choose: "Panel Mode" [06:12] circuitman thats up to you, but ose doesnt run very well, and there are a lot of things that are glitchy, ose is the open source edition for use for people that are interested in working on bettering the project, not for an everyday user. [06:12] hylian:need to download just 9MB of ose.when i try to download the rest it gives this error http://paste.ubuntu.com/414728/ [06:13] NinoScript, it's saying something about "COMPOSITING" or something like that [06:13] How do I boot into single user mode? [06:13] evening, guys. [06:13] Evening... [06:13] hylian:ok then i'll download the sun's [06:13] opT10N5, Ohh, you don't have compiz installed (that thing for the nice eyecandy) [06:14] balleyne, can you see with a boot disc? is the partition still valid? [06:14] is it normal for Karmic to drain my laptop battery about 25 percent faster than win7? === felipe__ is now known as walkingdead [06:14] opT10N5, you can activate it or activate metacity's compositing [06:15] wildbat, I'm running a live Ubuntu CD now, and fdisk lists it, I can mount it from the command line, but when I run a command like blkid, it doesn't show up (and Gnome/Nautilus didn't seem to detect it before I manually mounted) [06:15] Has Anybody Used Aircrack-ng? [06:15] I Need Help For Aircrack-ng [06:15] circuitman the problem you had with ose is that for some reason you where using old repositories that dont exist, if you really want ose, you will have to reload in synaptic first [06:15] opT10N5, put this in the terminal: gconftool-2 -s '/apps/metacity/general/compositing_manager' --type bool true [06:16] circuitman good idea going with sun's version [06:16] hylian:i'll downlaod the sun's === walkingdead is now known as felipe_s [06:16] Is There Anybody Who Can Help Me Using Aircrack-ng? [06:17] javapg never heard of that, is that a aircard? [06:17] balleyne, corrupted partition table? may be? [06:17] NinoScript, i have compiz installed. how do I activate it? [06:18] wildbat, maybe? any pointers or how to check or what to try? [06:18] JavaPG you there? [06:19] javapg, you probably already read this, but maybe it can help you: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=528276 [06:20] opT10N5, you go to System -> Preferences -> Appearance [06:20] is there a channel here for rhythembox? [06:20] opT10N5, and in Visual Effects, activate at least Normal [06:20] balleyne, try some partition recovery sotware like testdisk, or if you can access the parttion data just make a backup and repartition it [06:20] ubottu !channels [06:20] A list of official Ubuntu IRC channels, as well as IRC clients for Ubuntu, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat - For a general list of !freenode channels, see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#channellist - See also !Guidelines [06:21] TY [06:21] wildbat, k, thanks, I'll see what I can do [06:21] hi [06:21] beyondinferno dont know if that will help, i googled it and didnt find one [06:21] is there a form to have both the kde and gnome netbook remix? (like having kubuntu and ubuntu netbook remix ) [06:21] hylian,i Need To End A Few Process Which Cause Problems To Aircrack-ng ..like networkmanager [06:22] hylian,can u help me?

[06:22] NinoScript, thanks! [06:23] javapg under system, then administration is system monitor, kinda like control alt delete in windows with the taskmanager, if your used to windows. you can end processes there, or did you mean permanently? [06:23] Hi, my wired was working earlier, now it says "Wired Network Device not Managed" [06:23] opT10N5, Do you think it's something like Windows 7's taskbar? [06:24] NinoScript, something like it. though i would like it if i could fit everything on one taskbar [06:24] opT10N5, what do you mean? [06:24] hylian,i tried that but it dosen't work...instead the system monitor disappears [06:24] NinoScript, the gnome menu, clock, logout button, etc [06:25] opT10N5, OOOhhhh! [06:25] opT10N5, well, some of that stuff you can put it on Docky, or will be possible in the future [06:26] opT10N5, but I think theres something better for you right now [06:26] hylian,i tried that but it doesn't work...instead the system monitor disappears [06:26] javapg you end the network manager's process, and system monitor is killed? i yiy yiy.... well, you could xkill it, if it has a presence in xkill. be carefull though, because if you point xkill in the wrong space, he he he, your gui can be missing in action. [06:26] NinoScript, what's that? [06:27] anyone know how to end the process of network manager for an entire session? [06:27] opT10N5, Task Dock, its a GnomePanel thing: http://ubuntu-ky.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=986338 [06:28] opT10N5, it can even be tweaked to look like this: http://aminesoft.wordpress.com/2009/03/04/make-your-gnome-like-windows-7/ [06:28] hylian,does xkill mean killing a GUI Process By Pointing To The GUI? [06:29] What is the function of the file firefox-bin? It occupies my CPU with up to 7% of its computing time. [06:29] hylian,does xkill mean killing a GUI Process By Pointing To The GUI? [06:29] javapg exactly, which means it's only usefull for killing the x version of the program. it's got a 50% chance of killing the process you want, or just killing a pretty gui that runs the process you want. [06:30] hi everyone [06:30] thanks NinoScript [06:30] is someone have any experience at running KDE under virtualbox with win7 as host ? :) i can't manage to activate openGL :/ === PKnull is now known as Pooky [06:31] Can Anybody Help Me With Aircrack-ng Troubleshooting?

[06:31] hylian,i have read it...its of no use... [06:31] well, gotta go [06:32] javapg that sucks, sorry [06:32] bullgard4: So if firefox is using up too much CPU maybe you should consider using chrome instead :) [06:32] it's been a pleasure, everybody :D [06:32] bullgard4, Yeah! Chrome rocks! :D [06:33] help pls ;) [06:33] Jordan_U: Thank you for explaining. -- I am not going to replace Firefox with Chrome. -- I suspect hthat you are holding shares of Google, Inc. [06:34] i have to admit firefox is starting to get a teensy bit bloated. i would like to see it keep the plugins system it has, but go more the way of k-meleon [06:34] !netsplit [06:34] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [06:35] bullgard4: See what happens when you anger the great google?

[06:40] hylian,ca i sen u a screenshot of the problem? [06:40] slckb0y oops i forgot, windows 7 is your native, not the virtual. 2d support is for windows virtually installed only. hmm [06:41] yup that's it :) [06:41] slckb0y sure if you want, i dont know if i can help, but i can try [06:42] hylian,please help me [06:42] JavaPG i would love to, but your problem just isnt one i have encountered, your gonna have to ask someone who knows more abot the system your using [06:43] slckb0y, what version of linux are you using?. [06:43] my guess is something must have went wrong in the installation of the client addition cause i could use compiz under ubuntu [06:43] actually i'm using Kubuntu [06:44] hylian,Please See A Screenshot Of The Problem..I'm Using LINUX UBUNTU 9.10 DESKTOP EDITION On A SONY VAIO NOTEBOOK [06:44] slckb0y in synaptic, when you search for opengl, is there anything unchecked? is it possible that there are key pieces missing?

[06:47] hylian, Is It Inappropriate To Use Ubuntu 9.10 desktop edition on a notebook? [06:47] slckb0y yeah, im so used to ubuntu, duh, thats it [06:48] slckb0y i can be kinda dense at times [06:48] np ^^ [06:49] ok i checked, but i don't know what i should dl ? [06:49] hi [06:49] javapg no, it's not inapropraiate. there is a version of ubuntu specifically designed for laptops, but there should be no problems just using regular ole' ubuntu. [06:49] whats the difference between the versions> [06:49] java, the only thing I dont like about using ubuntu on notebooks is the start button is on the top. On a notebook you are usually looking at the keyboard and the lower part of the screen [06:50] how can i reconfigure the grub from a live CD ? [06:50] sammydee are you asking me? [06:50] what program can i use for 3-way video conferencing? hopefully available in windows as well [06:50] is there a package that depends on all of the packages in the base system (a la ubuntu-desktop) [06:50] yes [06:50] hylian,please download the screenshot [06:50] Netbook remix works just as well on notebooks as it does on netbooks [06:50] javapg what's the url? [06:51] sammydee it is more compact gui wise, and is just taylor made for laptops, with a special pension for "netbooks" [06:51] hylian,i'm using pidgin to share the file [06:51] Hello all, Is there any tutorial about PCSC available?

[06:52] hylian,what's your EMAIL ID? [06:52] sammy what is your native resolution? [06:52] sammydee then you want to chose vesa if ubuntu gives you that option.

[06:53] 1366x768? [06:53] yeah it a widescreen laptop [06:54] sammydee thats a great resolution for after ubuntu is installed and you have your display drivers, but if it's during install and you have "glitches" set it to run in vesa mode [06:54] how do you remove software PPA's that arent used anymore? [06:54] sammy It may be a driver issue , does your netbook have nvidia or ati? [06:54] sorry whats vesa mode? [06:55] sammydee: Its an nVidia driver. [06:55] its a standard intergrated graphics card [06:55] sammy vesa=vga [06:55] sammy what is your laptop make and model [06:55] my bad, yeah I am not so good haha dont listen to me. [06:56] sammyvee vesa mode allows the system to run in a very standard and simple graphics mode so that during install you can actually read what is on your screen, if that was your problem... [06:56] its a pesario CQ61 [06:56] hylian,i Have sent u the screenshot to dennygoot@gmail.com [06:56] is it possible to record in ubuntu using a soundblaster with the face plate? [06:57] javapg i am assuming that the problem it mentions did happen, because here it just says it could happen [06:57] Sammy ATI radeon Hd 4200 is your video card, you might see if you can run it off the live cd [06:57] !ping [06:57] Please use the format !ping {location} {# of pings (default of 5, 20 max)} [06:57] pong [06:57] Mohero: is a bot?

[07:00] hey Guys Has Anybody used Aircrack-ng? [07:00] i try installing it through windows and through stanard boot up but still the same problem happens [07:00] I have needed to run 9.04 and 9.10 liveCD in "safe graphics" mode, but the 10.04beta2 CD doesn't offer that option in the same place, am I missing something? [07:00] I know a guy who has Buttcrack+ ;-) [07:01] Anybody Used Aircrack-ng? [07:01] sammy try a vesa installation mode [07:02] ok ill give it a try [07:02] javapg try this (if you havent already) in terminal type sudo kill -9 [07:02] i guess if it dosent work i can always come back lol [07:02] sammy, you hit f4 on the startup and select safe graphics mode [07:02] How do I boot into single user mode? [07:02] g [07:03] I cant seem to see any grub menu [07:03] ya just gota restart laptop so ill have to disconect from here lol [07:03] jsoft_: Hold shift during boot.

[07:04] crucialhoax: System > Administration > Software Sources, if you want to remove all packages from a given ppa try ppa-purge. [07:05] crucialhoax: either add a comment i.e. # in front,or delete from apt-sources or uncheck/delete via synaptic [07:05] javapg1 did you get my reply? [07:05] sammy are you there btw? [07:05] voss749 sammyvee left to try it out [07:05] gotcha. I did not know removing the software source worked. [07:06] Apparently ATI users have to use the ATI open source driver not the fglrx drivers with 10.04 [07:06] voss749 i am a ati user, and i havent been able to use fglrx since 8.04. but thats just my card the x1300 [07:07] x1300 wow thats a clunker :) [07:07] voss749: fglrx is available in 10.04, but discussion about 10.04 should be in #ubuntu+1 [07:07] voss749 plays sims 3 beaitifully and fast on xp [07:07] Yo yo yo [07:07] yo yo? [07:07] yo [07:07] javapg did you get my reply? [07:07] hehe [07:07] ho ho [07:08] hylian, i tried " sudo kill -9 " ..but it didn't work............

[07:09] hylian,wait [07:09] Javapg: is the app an x based app? [07:09] hylian what laptop has that one? [07:09] ActionParsnip: Yes, but the led does not change. The wifi, however, does change colors. [07:10] can anyone else help javapg? he is trying to get his aircrack-ng to work [07:10] Crucialhoax: all I can say is log a bug [07:10] voss749 i think it was a presario [07:10] hylian, can i disable wireless? will it stop networkmanager [07:10] JavaPG: yes you can [07:10] I have a presario cq60-dx215 It has an nvidia 8200m [07:10] JavaPG: for that right-click networkmanager and uncheck enable wireless [07:11] ActionParsnip: I didnt know if there might be a simple fix. That is the only thing keeping this lappy 100% 9.10 compatible. [07:11] JavaPG: that does the job for me. I have run aircrack-ng many times [07:11] Crucialhoax: pretty minimal issue tbh [07:11] javapg hmm, i dont know. one way to find out, do it. maybe it will go away, but i thought that system was used for wireless, from what i read...hmm [07:11] hylian,ty for ur help..you may now get some sleep [07:11] ActionParsnip: Correct. Just a thought. [07:11] JavaPG: you will need to install the iw package from the repos before you could enable monitor mode using airmon-ng [07:11] Crucialhoax: true [07:12] javaog thank you. my eyes are slamming shut [07:12] bye all [07:12] JavaPG: did it work?

[07:18] JavaPG: what is the problem then? [07:19] bilalakhtar,the problem is i get PWR In Negatives While using Ubuntu 9.10 desktop edition [07:20] JavaPG: so that is normal [07:20] JavaPG: have you patched your driver? [07:20] bilalakhtar,it is not normal...what patch? [07:20] JavaPG: You haven't patched your driver yet? [07:21] JavaPG: so have you tried the injection test? [07:21] JavaPG: and I think the data column in airodump may be incrementing very slowly [07:22] bilalakhtar,i Don't Get PWR In Negatives When Using Xandros Or Ubuntu 8.1 [07:22] JavaPG: oh [07:22] JavaPG: do you have the iw package installed? [07:23] bilalakhtar,what is that? [07:23] !8.10 [07:23] Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) was the ninth release of Ubuntu. Downloading: http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.10/ - Release Notes: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/810 [07:23] JavaPG: that is required by aircrack for some of the advanced features [07:23] bilalakhtar,like? [07:23] ubottu: we know that [07:23] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [07:24] JavaPG:Sorry [07:24] JavaPG: like enabling monitor mode, injecting, etc [07:24] bilalakhtar,how to know if i have this iw pack installed? [07:24] JavaPG: Synaptic is your friend [07:25] !10.04 [07:25] Lucid Lynx is the codename for Ubuntu 10.04, due April 29th, 2010 - Lucid is NOT released and is NOT stable - Discussion and support only in #ubuntu+1 - Development Schedule: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LucidReleaseSchedule [07:25] Bilakhtar: I was curious of something so asked ubottu to give a link, lay off the bot [07:25] !9.10 [07:25] Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) is the current release of Ubuntu. Download: http://releases.ubuntu.com/9.10/ - Release Info: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/910 [07:26] ActionParsnip: I knew that ubottu is a bot, so I told it "we know" so that it gives a funny reply [07:26] Gotcha [07:26] !4.10 [07:27] Ubuntu 4.10 (Warty Warthog) was the first release of Ubuntu. End Of Life: April 30, 2006. See !eol for more details. [07:27] Is there a way to load icons in the Notification Area in the same order at each boot? i.e. left to right sound / wifi / battery? [07:27] bilalakhtar,please help me [07:27] JavaPG: yes do you have iw installed? [07:27] bilalakhtar,how do know if i have it installed? === z is now known as Guest71724 [07:28] !10.4 [07:28] bilalakhtar: If he installed aircrack from synaptics then I belive iw is a dependency [07:28] JavaPG: Open Synaptic package manager from the System->Administration menu === christian is now known as Guest17994 [07:29] crucialhoax: no iw in NOT a dependency it is in suggests [07:29] bilalakhtar: Ahh. I was close. haha [07:29] Its late. off to bed. Night all! [07:29] crucialhoax: is it night there? [07:29] bilalakhtar,do u get DATA(IVs) In A WPA Encryption? === Guest17994 is now known as Preacher [07:30] JavaPG: no you need to collect the handshake instead [07:30] is it a good idea to include pre-released updates (proposed) and unsupported updates (backports)? [07:30] JavaPG: so you opened synaptic? [07:30] JavaPG: search for the iw package [07:30] JavaPG: and tell the colour of the checkbox next to the package [07:31] Bilakhtar: btw 8.10 is EOL on the 30th so watch out [07:31] I'm making the ultimate development enviroment on my ubuntu 9.10 box :) [07:31] I was really dissapointed to hear that Ubuntu 10.10 is going to be named Maverick Meercat and not Masturbating Monkey :) [07:31] lol [07:31] !ot | skeptic [07:31] skeptic: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [07:31] ActionParsnip: I am not using 8.10 [07:32] bilalakhtar, iw is installed and the version is 0.9.14-1 [07:33] JavaPG: ok then [07:33] JavaPG: did the injection test work for you? [07:33] i call 9.10 kinky koala [07:33] is it a good idea to include pre-released updates (proposed) and unsupported updates (backports)? [07:33] quick question for anyone around... i am using ubuntu 9.10 and everything is running great except that i cannot log in to gmail, hotmail, my online banking or any other SSL encrypted login sites... furthermore i am also unable to connect to MSN Messenger through empathy or pidgin which may or may not be related to this problem... any ideas? [07:34] i have bad desktop performance in X.. the problem seems to be graphics related [07:34] what can i do to fix this? [07:34] also note that previously i was running opensuse and everything worked fine.. so it must be a configuration problem with ubuntu i suspect [07:34] bilalakhtar,how to do it? by using airepla-ng? [07:34] JavaPG: yes [07:35] JavaPG: you can see a hacking tutorial here http://aircrack-ng.org/doku.php?id=simple_wep_crack [07:35] bilalakhtar,can u wait? i am using wifi [07:35] bilalakhtar, JavaPG cracking wifi is offtopic here [07:35] zamba, what video card do you have? [07:36] bazhang: ok then [07:36] is it a good idea to include pre-released updates (proposed) and unsupported updates (backports)? [07:36] JavaPG: it is better if we move to the #ubuntu-offtopic channel. I am already there [07:36] robertzaccour, not really. [07:36] Serraphyn: 00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07) [07:37] bazhang, i have a problem with aircrack-ng...there are some process of ubuntu which are interfering [07:37] zamba, onboard video isn't really meant for power work special intell versions, if you even get compiz to run it'd be slow. [07:37] Serraphyn: i've turned off compiz [07:37] quick question for anyone around... i am using ubuntu 9.10 and everything is running great except that i cannot log in to gmail, hotmail, my online banking or any other SSL encrypted login sites... furthermore i am also unable to connect to MSN Messenger through empathy or pidgin which may or may not be related to this problem... any ideas? i am on a regular wired ethernet connection.. no wireless or anything fancy [07:37] Serraphyn, oh ok. just restarted after installing those updates and nothing bad so far [07:37] Serraphyn: and i'm not doing any "power work".. i'm just running X [07:37] Serraphyn: and it's sluggish [07:37] zamba, have you the ability in the bios to give more vid memory? [07:37] Serraphyn: not sure [07:38] zamba, check there first. If your having problems with gnome, might try giving XFCE4 a shot, its a great light desktop [07:38] nobody...? :( [07:38] you know, as much as people rag on ubuntu, it has the most support i've ever seen for a "desktop" linux, ty for everyone that contributes! [07:39] sat0pi, what did you ask sorry I missed it [07:39] quick question for anyone around... i am using ubuntu 9.10 and everything is running great except that i cannot log in to gmail, hotmail, my online banking or any other SSL encrypted login sites... furthermore i am also unable to connect to MSN Messenger through empathy or pidgin which may or may not be related to this problem... any ideas? [07:39] yep, try something else [07:39] try reinstalling openssl [07:39] sat0pi: looks like a rare problem [07:39] i did a google search and saw a few others that had the problem [07:39] sat0pi, sounds like you have SSL issues, make sure that your system is upto date on apt-get and then try to reinstall openssl like Merlin_ said [07:39] sat0pi: try emesene for msn [07:40] i will try to reinstall openssl, system should be up to date i just updated everything yesterday [07:40] sat0pi: you can install emesene from the repos [07:40] and i'll give emesene a whirl for msn as well... will report back :P [07:40] sadly, the ubuntu guys release with loads of bugs [07:41] g4 imac with ubuntu 9.04 gives me a black screen on live cd. anyone know of any workarounds? === ogra_ is now known as ogra [07:41] Skeptic, did you have a support question? chat in #ubuntu-offtopic NOT here [07:41] Merlin_, I never used a mac in my life. [07:42] Skeptic: if you want a bug-free linux then run debian but be prepared to be 2 or 3 years behind everyone else [07:42] :)) [07:42] and as far as bugs, most of the bugs are not ubuntu directly its that most packages are managed by someone else. So there are many parts of this that are not ubuntu's fault [07:42] okay rant mode off [07:42] spvensko_, i am running debian testing [07:43] then why troll an ubuntu channel? [07:43] heh [07:43] * Serraphyn wonders if anyone else realizes we are feeding the troll [07:43] ppc g4 imac with ubuntu 9.04 gives me a black screen on live cd. anyone know of any workarounds? [07:43] spvensko_, i am not trolling, i like ubuntu but it's sad what they are doing [07:44] Skeptic: we can continue in #ubuntu-offtopic if you'd like [07:44] when i reinstall openssl i shouldn't need to restart or anything like that right? [07:44] !ot [07:44] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [07:44] i just did a apt-get install --reinstall openssl [07:45] and it still isn't working :/ [07:45] sat0pi, probably not but if it doesn't work, try restarting, somethings are fickle [07:45] also emesene freezes on login [07:45] heh [07:45] my board have two output hdmi and lcd ,but it's default out lcd ,how to change it to hdmi display [07:46] aaron_liuj, what video card? [07:47] intergrated in the arm ic [07:47] how do i get my server to stop asking for my passphrase when i login? if i do ssh-keygen -t rsa locally and leave the passphrase empty it will still ask me [07:47] the video decode part has intergrated in the arm ic === DaZ^ is now known as elitistbastard [07:48] i do "ssh myserver.com" and it asks me for a passphrase even though it's empty [07:49] futuresoon, you can setup a file that holds username and passwords for ssh but its not really a good idea [07:49] * ayam_jago nasibbb nasib,,, pake koneksi gratis sering dc... hiks hiks.. [07:49] Serraphyn: i feel like this isn't typical behavior but is it? [07:49] i think from other computers it doesn't ask me cause it knows there isn't one? or something? [07:49] futuresoon, did you try ssh -v [07:49] futuresoon, ssh will always ask for a password if the ssh user file is not there [07:49] not the password, the pass-*phrase* [07:50] is that not the same thing? [07:50] * Serraphyn rubs her eyes [07:50] no there's a passphrase and a password [07:50] Merlin_, nop [07:50] Maybe I should stop its getting late and I'm gonna probably be stupid [07:50] futuresoon, I guess you have an ssh-agent running? [07:51] mathk: okay i'll see what that might be [07:52] hello everybody [07:53] I work at a Microsoft shop. My office network is behind an ISA server [07:53] actually if i just rm everything from $HOME/.ssh that won't do any permanent damage will it? [07:53] cause i would do that [07:53] like i'm not gonna get locked out of anything i have the password too i would guess [07:53] How can I connect my Linux box to the internet using an ISA server? [07:54] I'm bad at abbrevations, whats ISA? [07:54] funkyHat, as far as you know on which machine you did register your public key [07:54] and I don't think you mean the old 8-bit slots on 386s :) [07:54] okay getting rid of everything in the .ssh folder worked. should have thought of that [07:55] i'm an idiot [07:55] * Serraphyn hands futuresoon a cookie [07:55] * futuresoon gobbles it [07:55] lol [07:55] * brianherman1 i want a cookie [07:55] i prefer straight cookie dough cause raw foods are healthy [07:55] ya [07:56] It's the Microsoft's Internet Sharing Server [07:56] Hello all [07:56] now that i'm not being asked for a passphrase but only a password i have officially DOUBLED my output [07:56] Jed_84: Do you mean Internet and Security Acceleration server? [07:56] It's basically a proxy. [07:56] On the off chance, is there anyone in here that speaks Kurdish that wants to translate 10 words for me? Please. =) [07:56] brianherman1, exactly. [07:56] The_End: google translate fail? [07:56] The_End translate.google.com [07:56] !ot > The_End [07:56] The_End, please see my private message [07:57] Doesn't translate kurdish :P [07:57] dagnabbit [07:57] The_End: i don't know what it is you're translating but i think it's a kurdish proverb that means that a house with many children is blessed :-P [07:57] hey, is there any web i can read about packages policy in ubuntu? [07:57] can anyone point me too a way to configure my GTX 275's fan? theres a option in the drivers in windows, but the linux drivers are lacking [07:58] okay i'm out thanks guys [07:58] aafuentes:http://www.ubuntu.com/community/ubuntustory/licensing [07:58] futuresoon, lol, could be :P [07:58] The_End, I got about 315K hits on google for a kurdish translator [07:58] gartral there is an nvidia tweaking app... can't remember the exact name of it but I know it's out there [07:58] Serraphyn, yup. And the 30 first of them doesn't work lol [07:59] The_End, Serraphyn #ubuntu-offtopic please [07:59] bazhang, yeah. Sorry. Heh [08:00] * Serraphyn sighs at OT old ladies, always gotta poke at people [08:00] i mean brianherman1 , i thought they pulled packages from debian, but right now they have some packages newer than debian sid like amsn (in universe) who takes this kind of decisions? is it public (like a list?) [08:00] why some packages do this and others dont? [08:01] will they throw out their work when debian update the packages? [08:01] and syncrhonize? [08:02] ahhahahaha [08:03] aafuentes, debian tends to update packages when they have a certain amount of stability under them. Ubuntu is a bit quicker to include them. [08:03] good day :) [08:03] aafuentes, and debian packages wont require them to throw anything out cause you get alot of 'stable' in ubuntu that is in testing in debian. [08:04] could anyone throw a tip how should I set up iptables to do it properly [08:04] what is the order of the rules etc. [08:04] last gartral [08:04] how do i set wallpaper for crunchbang [08:04] Takagami: http://imagebin.ca/view/Fn36f5.html [08:04] hi [08:04] !hi [08:04] 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! [08:04] has ubuntu something like a worldfile - like gentoo? [08:05] a file that lists all packages i install with apt-get install and not all installed packages? [08:05] brandon, ask in #crunchbang [08:05] * ayam_jago nunggu dilempar koneksi spidol wkwkwk [08:05] Serraphyn, thats exactly what i meant... the package is not even in sid yet [08:05] peter__: you can get a list of all packages installed using dpkg --get-selections [08:06] sdx23 yeha but id like to see which packages pulled in all other packages to get rid of all of them by apt-get remove foo ; apt-get autoremove [08:06] the order of the iptables is that first match will be applied? so the dropp all rule should be last one? [08:06] aafuentes, I think this might be a bit offtopic and I don't want the finger waggers to get involved but just know the gulf between debian and Ubuntu is growing since IMO ubuntu is way more supported due to its higher usage [08:07] Serraphyn debian is much more stable then ubuntu [08:07] but it uses much older program versions [08:07] peter__, I didn't say it wasn't stable [08:07] I equate Current Debian with 8.04 Ubuntu [08:08] Serraphyn, i just wanted to know what was the policy ^_^ not to finger anything [08:08] i am getting an error when attempting to update a fresh 9.10 install, "W: A error occurred during the signature verification. The repository is not upated and the previous index files willbe used. GPG error: http://security.ubuntu.com karmic-security Release: The following signatures were invalid..." [08:08] coz sometimes i dont know what to xpect [08:08] aafuentes, like who decides when a package is updated? [08:08] Serraphyn: i wouldnt - i have some really shitty errors here with ubuntu like the nfs is not running and i have to restart it to get it working - same for tftpd - i also use gentoo and there i never had problems like this [08:08] Serraphyn, ye [08:09] aafuentes, I believe its a committee that decides it after a package has been submitted to the apt sources as updated. [08:09] Serraphyn kwin in ubuntu also has a bug that was fixed about 6 months ago in kde [08:10] submitted to where? can i have the url Serraphyn ? [08:10] peter__, I only say that as they tend to use the same packages in them.. And I feel comparing gentoo to ubuntu is Big Red Apples to Granny Smiths, both are apples but taste and feel totally different [08:10] anyone else have this issue? === seto_ is now known as Otereos [08:11] could anyone throw an tip about setting up iptables? :P [08:11] aafuentes, I'd suggest googling apt sources and updates to find out. [08:11] !iptables [08:11] 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/UFW), or 'iptables' (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo). GUI frontends such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist. [08:11] I tried it last night and cut out the whole connection by accident... [08:11] ufw doesnt work because the kernel version differs, it fails on ufw-init [08:11] Serraphyn the same packages - maybe some of them are the same but ubuntu uses a lot of patches to modify this progs - hmm both are linux distros - but i ment - ubuntu has errors i have never seen befor on other distros [08:12] my concern is that if I do set default policy with the -P switch [08:12] how does it know that [08:12] Serraphyn, most results are from /etc/apt/sources.list :S [08:12] * Serraphyn prays that peter__ doesn't burst into flames for saying that :P [08:13] do rules appended (-A) always override the rules with -P? [08:13] aafuentes, check ubuntu's site or ask in the forums. I don't have a url that developers have to submit things, I am a poor programmer, I spend most of my time formating and installing different linux distros for fun [08:13] I mean could I set up INPUT & OUTPUT allowed by default policy -P [08:14] then allow the needed INPUT ports with -A [08:14] ^_^ thanks anyway Serraphyn [08:14] then drop all other INPUT ports with -a [08:14] ill try the forums [08:14] babels, considered using one of the gui setups for your desktop? === Surion_ is now known as Surion [08:14] Serraphyn, I'm trying to set it up on VPS :/ [08:14] and its thousands of kilometers away from me [08:15] babels, -P is the default... if no other rules matches, then -P apply [08:15] yeah [08:15] so [08:15] babels, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo <-- you try that? first result from google btw [08:15] I could first apply default policies ALLOW, then flush all tables without it dropping me out [08:15] i am getting an error when attempting to update a fresh 9.10 install, "W: A error occurred during the signature verification. The repository is not upated and the previous index files willbe used. GPG error: http://security.ubuntu.com karmic-security Release: The following signatures were invalid..." [08:16] then allowing specific rules with -A and then, last deny everything else with -A [08:16] spvensko_, doing apt-get update ? [08:16] and it wouldn't take those default policies with -P effective? [08:16] yes [08:16] Serraphyn, that url is quite bad... i know coz i was reading about iptables a month ago :S [08:16] babels, did you see the link I posted? [08:16] i was doing it through the gui but that gives me the same output [08:16] hi all, does anyone have a tried and tested method of updating a server bios using linux or a dos bootable cd, NO access to floppies or windows? desperately need help [08:17] yes [08:17] is there a way to like.. clear disk space in ubuntu? [08:17] Milosh: jdiskreport is nice. [08:17] mawst: it's a utility? [08:17] YEs [08:17] spvensko_ did you add or change sources? [08:17] cool thanks [08:17] nope, completely fresh install [08:17] Milosh: http://www.jgoodies.com/freeware/jdiskreport/ [08:17] spvensko_ any new ppas added? [08:17] hmm [08:18] Serraphyn, last time I just cut myself out by flushing iptables. seems I have to set default policies ALLOW and then override them with -A? [08:18] Serraphyn, just out of curiosity, when you try different distros and I do likewise, I found that Ubuntu install had a screen background. No mouse icons to click after installation. Install was complete. I then tried XUbuntu and that worked fine. I wonder if it is a RAM issue. [08:18] Grab the Java version. [08:18] i tried another fresh install and did it again [08:18] Works great,. [08:18] i'm wondering if something went wrong with my burning of the liveCD as i ddn't check MD5s [08:18] awesome, mawst, i'll try it out [08:19] uh, mawst, i'm only seeing options for windows [08:19] babels, tbh I don't use iptables that much, I don't feel the need to have crazy amounts of firewall via software. I have a firewall from cisco I use to keep my servers safe. I personally find software firewalls more of a terror for admins as it makes people think they are safer then thay are [08:21] Serraphyn, okay. can you confirm if it actually would work that way? (allow all by default, flush iptables, allow ports needed, deny all the rest?) [08:21] is there something in ubuntu that lets me grant permanent access to user accounts for certain policykit actions ? fedora ships with such editor but i havent been able to find it in ubuntu. [08:21] spvensko_, it sounds more like the first time apt did its update it grabed the wrong gpg files [08:21] not sure why that'd happen two times in a row though [08:21] seems odd :\ [08:21] yo [08:21] try selecting a differnet mirror for downloading from [08:22] how can i install something from tar.gz ? [08:22] After mesing up with the keyring, every application that requires gksu to run prompts me for pass. I type in the correct pass but it say that I should type the correct pass. How can i change it? [08:22] opening my mouth and find it instantly on my own.. grah [08:22] babels, I'd flush iptables last personaly, but make sure in your ports allowed you poke a hole for ssh at least === pupuser878c08 is now known as mrAshley [08:23] except it doesnt seem to have the keys i really want to grant access to. [08:23] ? [08:24] Serraphyn, last time I did iptables-flush it blocked out my SSH due to default policies. I'm just worried if appended rules will override the default policies as I need to set default to allow and then over that deny all ports. [08:24] if I set default policy to DROP and then flush, I can't connect to SSH :P [08:25] Serraphyn: i think i may have found my problem [08:25] babels, I sersiouly don't do iptables at all, tried it once 3 years ago and about died of frustration as I didn't like it. [08:26] So perhaps wait till soeone else comes in that knows it or get googling again if you don't like the link I posted [08:26] okay, I need to use iptables as I don't have access to any hardware firewalls :P [08:26] should the linuxswap partition be formatted as primary or not? [08:26] Serraphyn: i have to open firefox first for my connection to log into my apartment's connection manager [08:26] spvensko_, let us know what it was. I think I had that once and deleted a file but I can't remember what it is [08:26] Hello [08:26] it wasn't an issue with ubuntu, but rather my connection [08:26] ty for the help though :) [08:26] spvensko_, ah [08:27] I am having some update problems [08:27] !hi [08:27] 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! [08:27] g33kprnsays, I usually do them as primaries [08:28] Whenever I am checking for new updates it failing with some IP error,my connection is fine, I tried with best server(s), what to do now? [08:28] usually most do a /boot, swap, and / on seperate partitions [08:28] xfact, can you pastebin the ip error for us to see what it says? [08:28] Serraphyn, Sure... doing... [08:28] Babels check this site out: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo [08:28] hello. anybody here using tsclient? i'm wondering why i can only select ssh and vnc. rdp isn't in the drop down list of protocols even if i have rdesktop installed. [08:29] Serraphyn: should a big one and a swap not be enough? [08:29] Terminus: what about gnome-rdp? [08:30] for a new user yes g33kprnsays, it should be fine. As you do more you'll find that if you do lots of reinstalls you eventually will want a partition to store 'saved' information and files. [08:30] csaba: haven't tried it. i've been using rdesktop instead. i'm just wondering why it doesn't appear on the list. using karmic here. [08:30] Serraphyn, Here is it: http://paste.ubuntu.com/414786/ [08:30] yeah I also use it and it appears for me, so dunno [08:30] g33kprnsays, more advanced people use a seperate /boot as it allows for lets compiled in file systems in the kernel(not somethign most users in ubuntu mess with) [08:30] rdesktop is installed [08:31] All the packages 'not found', I think it's server problem [08:31] csaba: using rdesktop directly is no problem. just wondering why it's not available on tsclient since that's installed by default. [08:31] xfact, do you have dhcp or static ip? [08:31] yeah I mean, I have rdesktop installed and it appears in tsclient [08:31] maybe try reinstalling the tsclient [08:31] and can you actually go to those urls? like open browser and see [08:32] Serraphyn: i am trying to go back from ub910 to ub804. i tried to let ub804 do the partitioning during the installation but it gave me errors, so now i'm partitioning it from the ub804-livecd [08:32] csaba: i'll try using it using a new account first. [08:32] Serraphyn, I have static IP, and it works every time but from last day I got this error [08:32] does ubuntu automatically ssh-add on bootup? [08:32] xfact, checked to make sure you have dns servers in /etc/host.conf? === g33kprnsays is now known as g333kster [08:32] hey, where can i propose new packages/programs for the ubuntu reps? [08:33] hi all, does anyone have a tried and tested method of updating a server bios using linux or a dos bootable cd, NO access to floppies or windows? desperately need help please! [08:33] g333kster, just remove the partitions and save, reboot and let 8.04 do its thing, should work fine [08:33] psypher246, tried a USB stick and boot from it? [08:34] Serraphyn, Well, in terminal it's denying my access to host.conf (even in root) [08:34] Serraphyn: the problem is, it didn't! so now i even did the fixmbr and fixboot thing because grub said that it could not find the partitions which made sense since i removed them [08:34] umm thats not good xfact [08:34] xfact, what does it say when you sudo nano /etc/resolv.conf ? [08:35] hmm [08:35] Serraphyn, Well, I think last time I cleaned yp my system with BleachBit, and that might done something wrong [08:35] root@server: iptables -L [08:35] Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT) [08:35] target prot opt source destination [08:35] FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.18-028stab067.4/modules.dep: No such file or directory [08:35] FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.18-028stab067.4/modules.dep: No such file or directory [08:35] babels: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

It works for me. [08:36] xfact, what does it say when you sudo the file please? maybe you removed yourself on accident from sudo group [08:36] !hardy [08:36] Ubuntu 8.04-LTS (Hardy Heron) was the eighth release of Ubuntu. Downloading: http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04 - See !lts for more details. [08:36] Curly_Q: where is openssh-server? [08:36] Curly_Q: I'm guessing that's an init.d script? [08:37] Serraphyn: the problem is , that sadly, "let 8.04 do its thing" didn't pan out! So now i even did the fixmbr and fixboot thing because grub said that it could not find the partitions which made sense since i removed them [08:37] Serraphyn, resolc.conf showing two name servers with two IP codes and domain local.lan search local.lan I think it's normal tho [08:37] w00tz_, use the apt-cache openssl [08:37] W00tz do a sudo apt-get openssh-server and install it. [08:37] xfact, can you ping -c 3 the.ip.shown.there ? [08:37] apt-get install w00tz_ [08:38] Serraphyn, Well, that freed up total 1.76 GB space so I guess it accidentally deleted manything I am gonna regret soon >_< [08:38] how did a ping delete stuff? [08:39] PING does not delete anything. [08:39] Curly_Q, I know so I'm wondering what xfact meant there [08:39] I have openssh installed, I just wanted to know where on the system does the ssh-add call get made so that the ssh-agent keys are used [08:39] I meant that program BleachBit, I should have not touched that [08:39] w00tz_, which ssh-add [08:39] xfact probably [08:40] I don't know. [08:40] Serraphyn, Well I pinged and result looks normal [08:40] Serraphyn: which ssh-add will locate the binary on the $PATH variable exported by your shell [08:40] Well, I think I did horrible mistakes [08:40] xfact, thats the beauty and bain of most linux OS, they have great tools, but with them comes much pain if you don't know EXACTLY what your doing [08:40] Serraphyn: if i go back to 804LTS, is it better to restore the mbr with Fixmbr, or doesn't it matter? [08:40] w00tz_, sorry that seemed like what you were asking [08:41] or Curly_Q [08:41] g333kster, never mattered to me when I did it, I've installed like 30 different OS on same PC and never had issues with mbr work [08:41] Serraphyn: On any linux system, except Ubuntu in this case, ssh-add is required to add keys to a running ssh-agent daemon. On Ubuntu, this magically happens for you already. I just wanted to know where this is documented ;) [08:41] Hey got no sound in kubuntu karmic fully updated [08:41] Is this a known problem ? [08:41] Serraphyn: no problems :) [08:41] Serraphyn, Well, I just selected autoremove and clean and that estimated almost 2 GB of space to be freed up, I didn't know I'm gonna remove some system stuff [08:42] hceylan: me neither, so im going back to 804 [08:42] hmm, I get errors like "FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.18-028stab067.4/modules.dep: No such file or directory" when I run iptables -L? Am I missing kernel modules or something here? [08:42] csaba: whoops... my bad. all this time i thought i was using tsclient when i've been clicking on vinagre. >_< [08:42] Well, all I want to know How to get my updates back, otherwise everything works great [08:42] w00tz_, http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/intrepid/man1/ssh-add.1.html <-- that help any [08:42] hehe [08:42] xfact, autoremove just removes packages you marked with apt-get remove packagename [08:43] xfact, apt-get update does not work correct? [08:43] Well, maybe I did, I already regretting [08:43] I have recently installed ubuntu 9.04 desktop edition on this old hp pavillion zv5000. Everything works except wireless lan and card reader. I found some guides by using google that should fix my wireless problem, but in each case I ended up without any lan at all afterwards. [08:43] xfact, again did you try to ping -c 3 the ips? [08:44] babels: when you do a sudo ls /lib/modules/2.6.18-028stab067.4/modules.dep what is your output? [08:44] Xfact, willy nilly removing any packages is not a good thing as Serraphyn stated that you can remove a package that has dependencies with regards to other programs. [08:44] CBMFreak, did you see if your wireless card is supported? === darkhazard is now known as aperson [08:44] Serraphyn, No, apt-get update replying with same IP error [08:44] w00tz_, ls: cannot access /lib/modules/2.6.18-028stab067.4/modules.dep: No such file or directory [08:45] depmod -a whines about that too... [08:45] xfact, you REALLY need to try to ping the ips you have in /etc/resolv.conf to see if you can reach them, are you using IRC from the same box? [08:45] csaba: thanks! =D [08:45] hceylan: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1144009 but its 11 pages [08:45] Serraphun: where can I check this? ubuntu allowed me to select a non open source driver for the card, but it doesnt seem to work, it is listet as one of my lan cards though [08:45] babels, looks like you need to install kernel headers at least [08:46] babels it's probably because you need to refresh your cache, try doing a sudo depmod -a [08:46] CBMFreak, is the issue when you trying to seek a network or just when the card intializes? [08:46] Curly_Q: i got no sound on 9.10, is this a known problem with a ready-to-wear solution? [08:46] hi, i need some help on sms_client, it sends an sms and than does not hangup and the process can not be killed [08:46] Serraphyn, Well, I pinged those and it looks like it's fine (reaching) and yes, other then update my internet working very nicely as usual [08:46] babels, I cant, it gives me warning and fatal error related to that same module.. [08:47] "No such file or directory" [08:47] g333kster, that happens when I first install with 9.10 everytime, I do the normal updates and reboot and sound works. [08:47] hi, can someone help me with GRUB loading issue? [08:47] babels: can you do a sudo ls /lib/modules/ [08:47] Where can I find a boot log of what goes wrong when I try to boot? [08:47] serraphyn: it is when I try to connect to my router wirelessly that it fails. It continues to claim that it needs verification, but I have created a wireless connection and selected the correct passphrase etc [08:47] xfact, what version are you using? [08:47] w00tz_, yes I can [08:47] The start gfx screen hides all console stuff [08:47] Serraphyn: do you know which updates? cos i updated 3 times and it still didn't work [08:47] No idea what explodes. [08:47] w00tz_, it outputs 2.6.18-028stab062.3 [08:47] do you see 2.6.18-028stab067.4 [08:48] CBMFreak, what method of auth does your router us? [08:48] hmm, try doing this for me, this is a really dirty hack [08:48] installed Ubuntu on an Asus laptop. When I boot into Ubuntu it gets stuck onGRUB loading. error: biosdisk read error [08:48] sudo ln -s /lib/modules/2.6.18-028stab062.3 /lib/modules/2.6.18-028stab067.4 [08:48] I'm left with grub rescue> prompt [08:48] Serraphyn, Well, I am using 9.10 and also happening the same with 10.04 [08:48] livingdaylight: do you have a livecd and a windows bootdisk [08:48] w00tz_, what should happen? :P [08:49] at least iptables still doesn't work :/ [08:49] babels: try a sudo ls /lib/modules [08:49] w00tz_, now it prints the both [08:49] 2.6.18-028stab062.3 2.6.18-028stab067.4 [08:49] xfact, tbh I'd probably suggest if you don't have lots of stuff on the system to just reinstall and not use anything you don't know about, read up on a package before you use or remove them. [08:49] great [08:49] g333kster, I have ubuntu live cd with which I installed Ubuntu, yes. Not sure about windows bootdisk. Windows XP recovery disk - yes [08:49] babels: try sudo depmod -a and see what happenes [08:49] happens* [08:49] no errors [08:50] livingdaylight, are you doing a dual boot? [08:50] babels: try ipfan [08:50] babels: sorry iptables* [08:50] Serraphyn, no [08:50] serraphyn: the card is installed with the broadcom B43 wireless driver, my router uses WEP and I am using a 64 bit key ( 5 ascii chars ) in the router setup, but it seems the gui for the wireless card will not let me use a 64 bit key to connect to the router [08:50] Serraphyn, I expected answers like this, thanks for help and time [08:50] w00tz_, wow it didnt print any errros :P [08:50] does this mean I'm all set? does that iptables actually work? :D [08:50] CBMFreak, I use wpa find, I think wep has bugs in it still [08:50] iptables --help [08:50] Serraphyn, I dedicated entire hard drive to Ubuntu. It seemed to work as it rebooted into Ubuntu first time round but this morning it's stuck on GRUB loading [08:51] does it print something? [08:51] CBMFreak: use wpa, I've had a lot of problems with wep in the past [08:51] yeah [08:51] * xfact regretting and weeping, why Ubuntu doesn't have 'system restore' -_- [08:51] babels: should work fine then ;) [08:51] xfact, sorry mate, without really being ont he system its kinda hard to troubleshoot alot of those problems [08:51] w00tz_, oh god you're freaking awesome ;) [08:51] livingdaylight, new laptop? [08:51] eubolist and serraphyn: ok thanks, I will try that :) [08:51] babels: np good luck :) [08:52] good luck! [08:52] Serraphyn, no, an old Asus [08:52] Serraphyn, Would you suggest me some good backup tool that can help me to backup my data? [08:52] G333kster check first in any diagnosis with electronics equipment what is the: "Layer 1 i.e., Physical Layer." Simply put, check any physical connections such as wires, speakers plugs etc. before going to the next step. Then the "Layer 7 Application Layer" for any software settings. Also check your IRQ settings and BIOS. [08:52] babels: you should update your kernel though, definitely need to get on a newer kernel [08:52] perhaps there is a drive failure going on [08:52] w00tz_, well this is running on a VPS, I'm not sure if I can pull off a new kernel? :P [08:52] babels: can you do a `uname -a` [08:53] Linux server.***.net 2.6.18-028stab067.4 #1 SMP Thu Jan 14 17:06:11 MSK 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux [08:53] Anybody suggest a good backup tool, I heard about Deja Dup but it's not nice [08:53] Curly_Q: what should i look for in the bios? The thing is, sound works fine on 804livecd, but not on 910livecd or 910installed [08:53] tar xfact [08:53] Greatest tool you'll ever have tar and gzip [08:53] xfact: Backintime [08:54] although on a server I'd use tar (no gui) [08:54] w00tz_, does that look bad? ;> [08:54] G333kster if something works don't try to fix it. Perhaps the manufacturer has the drivers for said device. [08:54] I started before gui in linux so its my habit to just tar and gzip files [08:54] the currnet stable 9.10 kernel is 2.6.31 ;) do a cat /etc/lsb-release [08:54] I'm thinking this may be running a some fort of custom kernel from the provider :P [08:54] OOhh,sorry I can't install anything from software center cause all those are 'not found' currently so I have to use simple CDs, thanks everyone for help [08:54] See you soon [08:54] Bye [08:55] gl xfact [08:55] DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu [08:55] DISTRIB_RELEASE=9.04 [08:55] DISTRIB_CODENAME=jaunty [08:55] Curly_Q: my prob was that upgrading to 910 lost me sound [08:55] babels: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:55] babels dude, bots gonna get nasty you keep spamming channel bro [08:55] -w-tf is pastebin and how does it work [08:55] !pb [08:55] For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [08:55] g333kster: instead of spamming the entire channel, a pastebin is where you paste stuff for collaborative debugging [08:56] G333kster, try checking your settings again. It could be just a very simple solution. [08:56] g333kster, what type of sound card do you have? [08:56] first, im gonna try if fixing my mbr allows me to reinstall 804 [08:56] And unless something came out super recently there are some issues with sound in ubuntu [08:57] babels: if you're a paying customer, ask if they can update yoru kernel otherwise you're going to have keep at it ;) [08:57] 9.10+, I've just seen alot of folks coming in complaining about it. Don't know if they dropped some old cards or not but its not just a few. [08:57] w00tz_, okay thanks :P. I could ask that =] [08:58] Serraphyn: no clue, whichever came with DellDimension3100. can i see which sound card in system monitor??? [08:58] G333kster, did you install a new Sound Card? If so shut the box off and unplug the card and plug it back in and make sure all of the wires are connected properly. [08:58] Curly_Q: no i did not [08:58] Google the specs for the machine and pray its not been modified inside [08:58] w00tz_, do you know about iptables, would it work out to set default policies allow, then flush iptables, then allow needed ports and deny all the rest? so appended rules will override default policies and the first rule matched will be used? [08:58] Serraphyn, | g333kster ran out of ideas/suggestions? [08:58] or is my logic flawed? :P [08:59] livingdaylight, sorry what was it you needed hun? [08:59] livingdaylight: search online for a system disk for your Asus [08:59] Serraphyn, Ubuntu is not loading [08:59] he has bios probs [08:59] oh yeah, I'd say its a bios issue or you have a drive failing [08:59] Serraphyn, I could try lucid beta2 and hope that fixes it [09:00] livingdaylight: you can NOT access your bios at ALL? [09:00] its disappointing. As I believed and expected the live cd to show up any issues. [09:00] g333kster, no, I can access bios, but ubuntu doesn't load [09:00] G333kster, if you are able to remove the Sound Card, pay very close attention to not the serial number but the MODEL NUMBER also you will see on the printed circuit board a: REV ( Revision Number ) Google that and check to see if there is a new driver for it. [09:01] Curly_Q: it is sooooo not the soundcard. [09:01] g333kster, is there something in bios that needs setting different? [09:01] Curly_Q: really not [09:02] livingdaylight, did the last time you used it you leave it on and it rebooted or went into a sleep mode? [09:02] Curly_Q: can i install 804 OVER 910 or would that just not happen [09:02] g333kster, you can install it. [09:02] If you have upgraded then there obviously is a need for a driver. Any Technician can tell you that. But most of these cards were developed with Windows in mind. [09:03] another question I do have is that do I have to set up ALLOW rule for SSH even there already exists fail2ban-ssh rule on iptables? [09:03] Serraphyn, I used it. shut it down, and then 24hrs later rebooted and presto - issue [09:04] There is no harm in re-installing. [09:04] it shutdown or you shut it down properly? [09:05] Serraphyn, that is a good question because unless any changes have been saved, then, shutting down or power down will not save the changes. [09:05] guys, is there a decent way now to switch from a RDP session back to Ubuntu with a hotkey ? [09:06] you could try switching to the next workspace with ctrl+alt+left or right arrow key [09:07] I do that to switch out of full screen games I'm playing [09:07] ctrl+alt+enter :) [09:07] it does the job [09:07] Curly_Q, I was also thinking if livingdaylight just powerd off the machine or it shut down on its own, that can bork a mounted drive [09:08] babels: I have very little experience with iptables ;) [09:08] Good point Serraphyn and it is possible that the box is working in sleep mode or hybernation with bad settings. [09:08] w00tz_, okay, do you know anything about fail2ban? :P [09:09] hi how to change gdm theme? the login setup does not have the appropriate option [09:09] I really don't know if I should go ahead and make a "ALLOW SSH" rule there or not :p It doesn't say that in the documentation... :/ [09:09] sobczyk, themes in system settings? [09:10] there is fail2ban-ssh rule on the INPUT chain but it is unclear for me if it actually allows ssh port or just some kind of trick for fail2ban to get the attemps [09:10] ts* [09:10] Serraphyn, system->administration->login screen, nut it does not have the option to set the theme [09:10] but* [09:11] please i need help compile nautilus actions 2.30.

[09:39] I installed skype for linux on my ubuntu 9.10. And everything was OK, till yesterday, when i did something that i dont remember, and skype is not showing in the taskbar(near to the clock). How to fix it ? [09:39] hi guys [09:39] ida_: just pull skype into the panel again? [09:40] ida_: restart skype, or look in the skype settings for "show in tray" style options [09:40] how can I stop nautilus from popping up when it auto mounts a media? I still want the auto mount option, I just don't want nautilus to load itself [09:40] ida_, check you didn't remove the notification area from gnome-panel./ [09:40] I have this string "1 GB out of which 200 MB" and I want to get out of it "1 GB" and "200 MB" , can I do that using regex in grep or sed ? [09:40] ida_: perhaps there is a folder created for skype in your home folder [09:41] Try to fiddle with the files in it. [09:41] perhamlinux, this is easy if you look at the file manager option in your preferences menu [09:41] airtonix, when running the compiled app without admin rights, if i remember correctly it failed to create socket server or smth [09:41] perhamlinux: edit/preferences/media tab - unclick 'browse media when ...' [09:41] well im out i find out some other how [09:41] how to fix it [09:42] I am coming to ubuntu from a Redhat-based linux experience.

[09:42] help pls [09:42] I wonder how does ubuntu/debian manage runlevels. [09:42] Lordveda: upstart, [09:43] Roland, for example : firefox requiring me to run it as root just to access internet : danger danger world in crisis. [09:43] ikonia: I know about upstart, what really interests me is the actual runlevels [09:43] Lordveda: what's not clear ? [09:43] does anyone know if the 2.6.33 TRIM stuff is being backported for 10.04 ? [09:44] airtonix, the application also must be able to configrue ethernet and other system settings [09:44] In Redhat like distros, runlevel 5 is dedicated for X and other services. [09:44] Roland: configure sudo then [09:44] Roland, why? use dbus to get settings from network-manager object [09:44] Lordveda: everything is run at runlevel 2 [09:45] I find in ubuntu there are actually there are 2 active runlevels [09:45] and the rest are ignored.

[09:46] Roland, you are not programming for userland then ? i assume you are using a virtual machine to properly create the environment your software is destined for ? [09:46] jad: I dont know if grep or sed support it, but if you are provided perl, you could do it using something like while(<>) { /(/d+ (MB|GB))/; print $1;} [09:46] ikonia: google for ubuntu upstart documentation?

[09:48] Lordveda: they follow SysV practices [09:49] though I have read a bit about runlevels I don't really follow the philosophy around it. [09:49] frxstrem: 200mb is a safe number, but its personal choice [09:49] and SysV is a Unix descendant.

I can't remember the ubuntu bug reporting site, and it seems to be remarkably difficult to find what it is. [10:22] so i'll just aks my question regarding UEC :) maybe someone got a clue! i installed in UEC mode from the cd installer. one host for clc walrus etc, and one host as a nc. everything is working fine. QUESTION: how do i log into the nc?? in the installation process i wasn't ask for a passwort :o [10:22] nibbler: i don't know now [10:22] debain: now it 1h in future [10:23] lng, is it *eactly* 2.0000h or is it just about 2h wrong === Jacques_ is now known as Guest77815 [10:23] nibbler: now it's 1h in future [10:23] lng, and what is the output of ntpq -p [10:24] Crap.

[10:59] pythags12: ask #debian [10:59] THZone: sorry should be something like ntopo -w ip:port_number -W 0 [11:00] oh ok [11:00] so [11:00] ntop start -w 192.168.1.254:3001 -W 0 [11:00] ? === Votan|off is now known as Votan [11:01] shouldnt port be 3000? [11:01] does anyone know why resuming from a suspend/hibernate initiated via the GNOME dialog will bring to a black screen (system still working), while pm-suspend works just fine? [11:01] err [11:01] I meant 3000 [11:01] sorry [11:01] yes [11:01] Hi all. How can I force a logout on a remote freenx user? TIA [11:01] sudo ntop start -w 192.168.1.254:3000 -W 0 [11:01] no start too :p [11:02] hmmmm [11:02] Thu 15 Apr 2010 06:03:09 AM EDT **WARNING** INIT: Unable to create pid file (/var/lib/ntop/ntop.pid) [11:02] Thu 15 Apr 2010 06:03:19 AM EDT **ERROR** RRD: Disabled - unable to create directory (err 13, /var/lib/ntop/rrd/graphics) [11:02] hmm [11:03] did you use sudo? [11:03] sudo ntop -w 192.168.1.254:3000 -W 0 [11:03] yea [11:03] hmm [11:04] hmm [11:05] I uninstalled it [11:05] fastijum, just a guess : hibernate/suspend via gnome panel applet is controlled by gnome-power-manager, whereas pm-suspend (requiring root) is not. ( i think gnome-power-manager does some sanity checks to see if hibernate suspend will be susccessful before attempting it) [11:05] sudo apt-get remove ntop [11:05] sudo apt-get install ntop [11:05] i installed it, looks to be working let me chk browser :) [11:06] Fastijum check your settnigs on your screen saver. Try moving your mouse a few times. [11:06] THZone: yep i see the statst :) [11:06] stats* === nomike__ is now known as nomike [11:06] geekphreak, THZone : ntop is a cpu gobbler in my experience. [11:06] Curly_Q: keyboard and mouse seem disabled, I can only recover it restarting gdm [11:06] airtonix: any suggestions for an alternative? [11:06] iceroot, why does it work in ubuntu [11:07] THZone: try darkstat :) [11:07] i tried to put my /tmp and /var/log into the RAM. It iddnt work and I deleted both lines in my fstab. Now it still keeps giving me "Mount: mounting non on /dev failed: No such device" and "init ureadahead main process (xxx) terminated with status 5) Any ideas why this happens even after I deleted the entries in my fstab ? [11:07] Looking into it [11:07] can someone pls tell me ..what libs are u using., depencies [11:07] Fastijum check your cables. Make sure no liquids were spilled on the keyboard or mouse. [11:07] airtonix: okay, I didn’t know that. but the suspend actually works fine, it’s just that when it’s resuming, it does some activity (1 sec), and then the screen stays black [11:07] THZone, are you jsut wanting bandwidth usage reports ? [11:07] Curly_Q: ?! [11:07] airtonix: may I pm you? [11:08] Hi :) I've got an old binary that needs libmysqlclient.so.10 installed (error while loading shared libraries: libmysqlclient.so.10: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory) ... and I'm using Ubuntu 9.10. How can I get this installed for now? [11:08] THZone, if you think its important [11:09] I liked ntop because it can monitor multiple interfaces. I have eth0, eth1, and eth2 (eth1 and eth2 are WAN - Loadbalanced, and eth0 is LAN) [11:09] fastijum, when you say 'suspend works fine' i assume you mean via pm-suspend ? [11:09] airtonix, Curly_Q: it only works reliably if I disable the screen locking feature of gnome-screensaver [11:09] I'm using eBox to handle traffic/av/malware scanning, but want more in-depth network statistics [11:10] Fastijum that is what it sounded like to me. Check the screen locking feature settings. [11:10] airtonix: either way. suspend is correctly initiated and resumed, no errors in any log. it looks like the problem really has little to do with anything hardware-related, it seems more like a problem with gnome-screensaver [11:10] THZone, if its not using all your cpu then stick with it [11:10] why does my ati graphics card work in ubuntu...which libs is ubuntu using [11:10] I can't even get it to run properly. [11:10] THZone: you sound like a sys Admin :) [11:10] haha :) [11:10] and not other distros.. [11:10] Curly_Q: yeah, disabling the “lock on screensaver” works, but I do need that :) [11:10] THZone, tried bandwidthd ? [11:10] ntop runs, but I can't access the web interface. [11:11] what dependencies [11:11] Man, I'm lagging here [11:11] THZone: also look into mrt , [11:11] It might be a bug in the screensaver update it and see if that helps. [11:11] theadmin, get a better graphics card. [11:11] THZone: let me get correct name 1 sec [11:11] * airtonix loves the ambiguous term 'lag' [11:11] my USB drive copying speed id too slow when i copy large files abt 5 gigs... [11:11] airtonix: The network. Lag in this channel for me is 31 seconds o_O [11:11] any fix for ths?? [11:11] theadmin, latency * [11:11] Curly_Q: okay, I get it, it’s not a known issue :) [11:12] THZone: mrtg :) [11:12] airtonix: Well, ping returns "PING reply -- Lag: 31 seconds" [11:12] theadmin: you gaming online dude? [11:12] theadmin, looks like you need a better graphics card :) [11:12] I want something that runs on the server, and can just take snapshots - like ntop [11:12] geekphreak: Nope. I just have a shared inet connection and my sister is downloading some crap ATM [11:13] THZone, bandwidthd provides this [11:13] Graphics card has nothing to do with Network Lags. [11:13] THZone: can i show you a link? [11:13] absolutely [11:13] THZone, http://bandwidthd.sourceforge.net/bandwidthd-top2.png [11:14] Curly_Q, define lag.. it's such an ambiguous term. [11:14] kk [11:14] Curly_Q, its as precise as buggy and glitchy... both awesome words for defining the situation [11:15] sudo apt-get install bandwidthd -y [11:15] Lag loosley is defined as latency. [11:15] what port does it listen on for its web iface? [11:15] But lag has to do with associated servers connected to all other servers. [11:15] i want to test some virtualization on my ubuntu system, which one shoudl i use except vmware [11:16] my net is so down today [11:16] THZone, http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/karmic/man5/bandwidthd.conf.5.html & http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/karmic/man8/bandwidthd.8.html [11:16] THZone: google mrtg lol :) [11:16] THZone: Not like that. sudo apt-get -y install bandwithd, because apt-get takes anything after install/remove/purge as packages [11:16] dubey: Virtualbox is a good one === OerHeks is now known as Oer [11:17] geekphreak, mrtg requires you to understand SNMP [11:17] Airtonix here is a brief explanation: http://www.livinginternet.com/r/rt_lag.htm [11:17] Basically it is an overloaded server. [11:17] thanks [11:17] Curly_Q, i know exactly what people it is... problem is its not a real term. its used by lazy and ignorant people who can t be bothered to say either video stuttering or high latency. [11:18] Curly_Q, what is it* [11:18] ok, all of that still doesn't tell me what port it listens on. :| [11:18] airtonix: I mean network is all slow. No idea how to say it except for 'lag' [11:18] Curly_Q, its as about as helpful a request definition as "it doesnt work" [11:19] theadmin, communication delay = increased latency. [11:19] airtonix: I see. Well, this is the case. [11:19] Airtonix the real term for it is called: ( Network Split ) [11:19] * geekphreak enjoys the debate lol [11:20] Splits occur when one computer from the IRC network is completely disconnected from the others. [11:20] All the users connected to IRC via that computer appear to leave the channel together on mass, like mass desertion. [11:20] Curly_Q: Not the case. It's just kind of a slow. [11:20] Hi, I just sat down to install Ubuntu (9.10) but for some reason the disc spins down when I select 'install or try' [11:20] theadmin, so many reasons why this could be happening. [11:21] mythril: It might take a while to load [11:21] In fact a split has occured and they are still in #acorn, it's just #acorn now exists in two parts. Those not affected by the split can still chat as normal. [11:21] theadmin: how can it load with the disc not spinning (cd is not spinning) [11:21] Hey all is it possable to join a workgroup with a ubuntu client and one xp client? [11:21] airtonix: I know the exact one, torrent download running. But I can't stop it, cause it's not even on this system :/ [11:21] Can anyone just tell me what PORT bandwidthd listens on for its web interface? ntop was http://ip.he.re:3000 -- what is bandwidthd's? [11:21] Those connected to the split computer can still chat amongst themselves, but nobody else. To them it also appears like mass desertion as all the users leave together. [11:21] !samba | nyhcjedi [11:21] nyhcjedi: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/9.10/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. === amarsha is now known as amarsha2 [11:21] hmm [11:21] Eventually the split will mend itself and the users who had left will all join together again (this always looks a bit suspicious when 10 odd users all appear at once!) and this is a way of telling splits have occured. (plus most of the non split IRCers will be moaning about the split!) [11:22] mythril: Hm. Are you sure the disc is properly burned and the ISO image was normal? [11:22] ok ill have to read up on it [11:22] THZone, bandwidthd doesn't operate on any different port. you need to also have apache installed so you can setup the webpages [11:22] thank you [11:22] airtonix: apache is installed. [11:22] theadmin: same problem when I try to run the 'check this disc' option [11:22] THZone, did you setup the webpages ? [11:22] pythags12: because ubuntu is using the non-free driver i guess [11:22] someone canadian in here? [11:23] !ca [11:23] Canadian Ubuntu users can be found in #ubuntu-ca [11:23] Hi :) I've got an old binary that needs libmysqlclient.so.10 installed (error while loading shared libraries: libmysqlclient.so.10: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory) ... and I'm using Ubuntu 9.10. How can I get this installed for now? [11:23] THZone, http://www.ubuntugeek.com/bandwidth-monitoring-tools-for-ubuntu-users.html [11:23] Splits have nothing to do with bandwidth, it has to do with servers overloaded. [11:24] If you need to check bandwidth go www.dslreports.com [11:24] THZone, right one here : http://www.ubuntugeek.com/bandwidth-monitoring-tools-for-linux.html [11:25] But nothing there tells what effin port to point my browser at! [11:25] AGU [11:25] AGH* [11:25] THZone: if it using apache man, it will be 80 [11:25] geekphreak: Not really. [11:26] geekphreak: I can even point it to 9999 :P [11:26] theadmin: oh come on mostly it is 80 , you can even point it 65000 :p [11:26] okay - but... [11:26] what's the syntax for the url? [11:26] When the IRC server is overloaded, it resets itself after TIMEOUT. Hence, the clients or users are AUTO-CONNECTED back to the server therefore, a NETWORK SPLIT. [11:26] THZone, guide here : http://infodotnet.blogspot.com/2008/02/install-and-configure-bandwidthd-per-ip.html [11:26] geekphreak: Or 8080 (http-alt) [11:26] http://192.168.1.254 just goes to a blank "IT WORKS!" page [11:27] hello! Can someone suggest how to install older php version on karmic? I need php4 but would like it to be installed through apt-get and not to compile it from source. apt-cache search shows no sign of php4... [11:27] THZone: Then it's not configured. I mean, you need to modify htdocs folder [11:27] THZone, in short : you need to make a virtual host alias for the files found at : /usr/local/bandwidthd/htdocs [11:28] THZone, personally i would create a virtual host : bandwidth.your-linux-hostname-here [11:28] ubuntu2277: old version is not in repost any more afaik [11:28] are there any repositories of old versions to add in sources.list ? [11:28] jaunty probably has it [11:29] yup, it does [11:29] ubuntu2277: any particular reason why you want 4? [11:29] ubuntu2277: dont mix repositories from different versions [11:29] THZone, if you don't know how to make apache virtual hosts you might like to install rapache [11:29] !info rapache [11:29] rapache (source: rapache): apache2 graphical configuration tool. In component universe, is extra. Version 0.7-0ubuntu5 (karmic), package size 110 kB, installed size 864 kB [11:30] mhh strange firewall issue... I get TCP:S errors and it cannot connect to the server behind [11:30] Sorry to misslead - I have DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 8.04.4 LTS". The reason is the client - he uses old php page and it won't work on php5 [11:31] strange is, it WAS working [11:32] ubuntu2277: its always the client, they just dont listen do they :) [11:32] i just finish installing python, from .bz2 , now how to open it? [11:32] awsten32: right click extract? [11:32] ugh [11:32] It requires libpng [11:32] awsten32: You don't do it this way, you "sudo apt-get install python" [11:33] no i finish but how to open python [11:33] which isn't available from apt-get [11:33] THZone, cereal ? [11:33] but ever thing is done !!! [11:33] THZone: libpng is in apt-get... but what requires it exactly? [11:33] THZone, apt-file search libpng returns many results for me [11:33] I quit [11:33] this is retarded [11:33] I just want freaking bandwidth graphs [11:34] awsten32: if it's fully installed you should be able to just do "python script.py" [11:34] ntop isn't working [11:34] !enter | THZone [11:34] THZone: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [11:34] So i was looking into samba. Do I have to work with the source code or is there a package to download? If i have to do source code work i think im screwed [11:34] how can I logout a remote user whose TTY is :1000 ? [11:34] !dick | eatone | jrib [11:34] THZone: i got ntop working np here, are you sure you specifying correct ip ? [11:34] what the hell ,, I am new in this world,, I want to see python only ! [11:34] omg [11:35] awsten32: what exactly do you expect to "see"? [11:35] the python package isn't some GUI, it's the python interpreter [11:35] the interface [11:35] python --help? [11:35] how its look [11:35] got the answer from doc:If you absolutely depend on PHP4 and would like to use the current Ubuntu release, you have to compile it from source. Just for info.. [11:36] Okay how to wright HELLO code [11:36] ubuntu2277: there is 1 more thing you can do [11:36] ubuntu2277: ok nevermind then :) [11:36] awsten32: you might want to consult a python tutorial or a python-related channel [11:36] what options? [11:37] Anyone here get nginx running with CGI support on Ubuntu server? [11:37] THZone take a look at this site: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/bandwidth-monitoring-tools-for-linux.html [11:38] Curly_Q: he is out [11:38] Ok. [11:39] anyone have experience with nginx here? [11:39] Somone call me: "A CAB" :) [11:40] jzy: try in #ubuntu-server [11:40] k thanks! [11:40] can someone tell me is a tar.gz file just a compressed file? it seems like an entire directory is in the folder after unarchiving it [11:41] awsten32: write hello in what ? [11:41] Can anyone recommend a good nntp client ? (for binaries) [11:41] Tar.gz is a compressed file. [11:41] so similar to the zip? [11:41] Tar.gz files can be of multiple compressed files as well as folders and directories. [11:41] nyhcjedi: yes, but much better :) [11:42] oooh a bold statement. why are they better [11:42] http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-Sony-Vaio-VPC-CW2S1E-L-Notebook.27414.0.html [11:42] what you think about that laptop for ubuntu? :) [11:42] lol @ bold statement :p [11:42] Tar.gz files have a much higher compression ration that ZIP. [11:42] in python [11:42] print hello [11:43] awsten32: try checking out python channels mate, this channel is for ubuntu support :) [11:43] it's small code [11:43] i see. i was joking about the "bold" so do many linux programs simply tar.gz the entire directory and there is no need for an installation after? [11:43] alright [11:43] nyhcjedi: depends [11:44] pretty much any compression format is better then zip [11:44] Zip files is a Windows thing. In fact, if a Zip file is password protected, GNOME will ignore the password portion of it. [11:44] nice. well the linux endeavor continues [11:45] compression wise? I always seem to get better compression rates out of ZIP [11:45] WinRar is better than Zip I think. [11:45] yup [11:46] and 7-zip is even bette then both [11:46] 7-Zip is great as well. [11:46] better* [11:46] Chance and FREE too. :) [11:46] does 7-zip password protect? [11:47] Curly_Q: exactly :) [11:47] yup [11:47] allows for password protection [11:48] I like to use a Windows program called: Cryptainer. It is free. It is a self-executible file and compresses any document or anything for that matter. [11:48] I'm gonna run some tests right now and compare compression and reliabilty. I really thought I had thried 7 and found it lacking... hopefully it's not === PhilMather is now known as zz_PhilMather [11:48] once I started using 7-zip I never went back [11:48] hi, does anyone of you use cairo-dock and can tell me what im doin wrong so the icons won't grow bigger than microscopical? [11:48] why would you compress files in windows? [11:49] number of reasons [11:49] emailing attachments for instance [11:49] password protect stuff [11:49] Compressing files in Windows? I use Linux and Windows. Both will open up each type of file tar files and zip and .rar files and more. [11:49] adding multiple files in 1 container for file sending [11:49] you email from a windows machine? like at work or something? [11:50] I email from anything I can get my hands on. [11:50] joe__: I am stating reasons why "people" using windows would. [11:50] webclients for instance [11:51] The point of using compression is simple. It is like having a sponge saturated with water. A compression program will remove the water and put it back when you need to use the sponge, hence, the term compression. [11:52] Chance_: ; ) [11:52] nice one Curly_Q :) [11:52] :) [11:52] joe__: besides I am a Network admin in a Windows environment ;-) [11:53] hi, anybody used a dhcp-server with dcp-client-identifier ? [11:53] and no better way to detect problems then from a linux client [11:54] so off the bat 7z gives you the option to encryt, or not, the file listings as well as password protect... anyone know the encryption algorytm? [11:54] and the further I get people to use freeware, the closer I get to changing them to linux :) [11:54] Chance, it all depends upon how high the security issues are as an admin. Sending data can be seen my IP network admins. Encryption is better than compression. [11:55] Curly_Q: I agree, but linux has better software to detect network problems then windows does [11:55] does anyone know why rsync will not timeout and exit after a connection failure? it just hangs midway through the transfer indefinitely [11:55] That's true. Because it is open source. [11:55] besides, most of the stuff for windows is ported from linux [11:55] yeah [11:56] I think you get a better chance of sifting through the data on linux. Windows always desides first it wants you to be able to read the data you've fetched [11:56] yeah, thats why command prompt is still handy [11:57] instead of letting windows cache all your search results before it displays them [11:57] it's more than handy: it a way of life [11:57] yeah === Cain` is now known as Cain [11:57] Hey guys I have a windows Vista laptop ith WiFi and a non-wireles Ubuntu(not server) OS an I want to use the Ubuntu desktop as an IRC server so I want to know how to do that with adHoc on my laptop? [11:58] What I do find in the immediate future is that in the advent of GPS stuff and other monitors and even Corporations like Adobe monitoring everytime you use their software and logging into the MotherShip, that encryption is the future of the internet for security reasons and for privacy. [11:58] Curly_Q: you just described Google ;-) [11:59] anybody help me with a strange problem [11:59] Google has over 300 thousand servers caching all of network traffic. What does that tell you? [11:59] you should just assume everything that goes over the net will be seen and saved by everyone [11:59] Hey guys I have a windows Vista laptop ith WiFi and a non-wireles Ubuntu(not server) OS an I want to use the Ubuntu desktop as an IRC server so I want to know how to do that with adHoc on my laptop? [11:59] Curly_Q: not only that, android tells Google your exact location, ALL the time [11:59] ssh is your friend [12:00] All IP's use port sniffers and monitors. [12:00] yup [12:00] The safest way is to WAR DRIVE and go wireless with SSH. [12:01] Thats why I love IRC, it's multiplayer notepad in a logfile ;-) [12:01] has anyone run an encryted ext4 /home partion succesfully for any period of time? [12:01] joe__: yup [12:01] joe__: actually I use ecryptfs, not a fully encrypted /home [12:02] well guys, it's been fun. Gotta go. have a nice one! [12:02] Good to see you Chance. [12:02] same here :) [12:02] I know the default of a sever install was to run an encryted ext fs. but the laoding error made it impractical [12:03] $ sudo echo 5 > /proc/sys/vm/laptop_mode $bash: /proc/sys/vm/laptop_mode: Permission denied. why? [12:03] $ cat /proc/sys/vm/laptop_mode return 0 [12:03] hier gibts ja nur Engländer [12:03] Hey good folks, it is time to take a break here. I had an interesting time with you all. See you all soon. Take care. :) [12:04] fqh: sudo -s, then do it [12:04] < fqh>: the obvious replay would be: have you check that the user is in the vm groupe? [12:05] popey: Yes, it works [12:06] so as to the earlier issue: LZMA compression algorithm is used in 7z and the final out come was about 30% higher compression than ZIP [12:07] I can't vouche for the potential data loss though [12:07] That does it for me though, I'm going with 7z [12:10] anybody help me with a strange problem [12:10] we can always try [12:10] how strange it is? [12:10] not if we don't know the problem though! [12:11] something to be aware of though: Limitations [12:11] can anynome help me with xchat? [12:11] The 7z format does not store UNIX owner/group permissions, and hence can be inappropriate for backup/archival purposes. A workaround is to convert data to a tar bitstream before compressing with 7z. [12:12] < masterkorp>: can you be more specific? [12:12] masterkorp -just ask the quersion [12:12] can i "save" my list of channels that im connected to every time that open xchat it connects automatic? [12:12] sorry, was been polite xD [12:13] masterkorp: edit the favourite list of channels for Ubuntu Server in the server list [12:13] masterkorp: Crtl + S to bring up the server list [12:13] yes it's there [12:13] but to auto connect it is need a script === nikolam_ is now known as nikolam [12:14] i use 8 channels daily [12:14] masterkorp: no; it has dialog box to add channels [12:14] yes [12:14] masterkorp: when you edit the server [12:14] masterkorp: by default it has only #ubuntu but you can press the button with three dots and add more channels [12:15] thanks, thre is an option to auto connect [12:16] join [12:16] Q: What's the best way to have a script execute when my machine is shutting down and/or rebooting? === Benny-X is now known as benny-x [12:18] benny-x, personally i would use python to hook onto dbus signals [12:18] runlevels? [12:18] < Benny-X> Q: a daemon would be best [12:18] hi [12:18] Any of you guys sysadmin out of hours for your company? Am looking to see what would be the best solution for making me the 24/7 sysadmin contact, or perhaps farming it out to some company.

[12:47] joaopinto: thnx I'll try [12:47] eto, was the last apt-get update successful ? [12:47] howdy all [12:48] however rdesktop is installed 1.5 but grdc package says it needs 1.6 installed [12:48] < abuayyoub> did you try synaptic to find the drivers? that would be your best bet since it'll just install 'em for you [12:48] ubuntu es como entro [12:48] i dosnloaded rdesktop sources and issued configure; make ; make installl [12:49] still packges are not updated [12:49] y en español como entro [12:49] eto, installing from source does not update package versions [12:49] < abuayyoub>: ok i feel stupid. it's xorg.conf [12:49] joe, ok cool.

Rebooted and it still wasn't working so I had to manually go into xorg.conf to set 'em and reboot [12:51] eto, so you need to upgrade to a newer release, or learn how to build the entire remote desktop from source :) [12:52] joaopinto geekphreak : okay smart guys provide me with grdc build for 8.04 and i will give you a cookie [12:52] eto, please be respectful or leave the channel [12:52] joe_ i just installed them from Synaptic but its still not working.

[12:53] joe_ [12:53] eto, it is likely that the gdrc can not buildable or even installable with your current system libraries versions [12:53] joaopinto : yes pthreads error [12:53] eto, ok, so you have an unresolvable error, you need to upgrade your system [12:54] okay so which friggin ubuntu release is THE RELEASE for me to have in office [12:54] 9 series is hosed unstable and broken [12:54] on linux most applications are modular, they depend on specific library versions [12:54] 8.04 - 8.10 works but [12:54] nothing is availible for those releases [12:54] you have to add an entry for the hdmi under the device section to point to the hdmi [12:54] eto, 9.x is just as stable as any other releases [12:54] so smarttards now show your knowledge [12:54] you can wait a few more days for the next LTS [12:55] !ops | eto being disrespectful [12:55] eto being disrespectful: Help!

If so you over wrote the MBR and removed bootloader === geek is now known as Guest47594 [16:19] LekeFly, sounds like monitor/tv issue not video if your seeing black bars around the picture [16:19] Durf, if your using dhclient The client normally doesn't release the current lease as it is not required by the DHCP protocol. Some cable ISPs require their clients to notify the server if they wish to release an assigned IP address. The -r flag explicitly releases the current lease, and once the lease has been released, the client exits. [16:19] Durf man dhclient or man dhcpcd [16:19] Serraphyn: not black bars.. the screen stretches out of the screen..

[16:21] MetaPhaze, what do you reccomend? [16:21] Anybody familiar with selinux? [16:21] Jimi_Neutral: your htaccess needs to point to where the .htpasswd is [16:21] i recommend dhclient, but it doesn't matter really they both do the same things [16:22] Jimi_Neutral: and you don't likely have /home/username [16:22] dabaR, oh, that would have helped if the tut said that lol, thought that was a bit odd === X3r0 is now known as Lube [16:22] Jimi_Neutral: try to read some of those as /home/insert_your_username_here [16:23] Durf sudo dhclient -r then do sudo dhclient [16:23] dabaR, ok it did it, it made the files but it is still letting me straight in === Srpski is now known as Dannyboy [16:24] Durf, also note that dhclient, dhcpcd and pump are not responsible for giving you a new ip, your isp's dhcp server is, and it may not give you a new ip if you reconnect right away === Lube is now known as __0tom [16:24] Jimi_Neutral: do you have any vhosts configured? === __0tom is now known as Lube [16:25] Jimi_Neutral: You can look into /etc/apache2/sites-enabled [16:25] iflema, is this right http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/UZsqxrWF ?

[16:27] Durf, log off for 10 minutes [16:27] hey guys trying to get lash working on my firefox how can i get it [16:27] Durf why change...?

[17:22] for a string* [17:22] hello guys, i am using ubuntu 9.10, i need to go single user in order to check my filesystem, my problem is that when i press init s in the console i get this menu asking me some optiosn, but it does not seem to support my keyboard cause i can't choose any of the options, how i can avoid this menu and go straight to single user mode?, also since ubuntu is my only Os i am not using grub so i can't use it to go single user [17:22] not using grub? [17:22] ajhtiredwolf: maybe pipe it to grep and search just for the string? [17:22] ajhtiredwolf: it doesn't by default [17:23] lclimber: have you tried choosing Recovery Mode from the grub menu? [17:23] soundray, i am not using grub cause i have only one OS [17:24] lclimber: what do you use instead? [17:24] lclimber: what bootloader are you using then?

[17:31] soundray: i tried s2both and it didn't wake up, should i try hibernate-ram as well? [17:32] hello here [17:33] bscape: that's what I was going to suggest - try the various options. Also, search the web for mentions of suspend/hibernate/sleep problems with your specific machine/motherboard/chipset. There are a few kernel boot options you can try. [17:33] bscape: there are also tweaks in /etc/default/acpi-support [17:33] Say i have multiple folders filled with latex source files. How do one go about spell checking all of them in one go? Seems like neither ispell nor aspell supports this feature, is this really true?

My chipset is recognized, but i don't know how to configure the conexion, some help ???? [17:34] soundray, pressing esc when loading grub doesn't work either [17:34] Moin. Will Maverick (10.10) be based on Debian testing?? [17:34] bscape: it's a very annoying type of problem, though, because it takes so long to test the impact of any modification you make [17:34] T0M_4RN0LD___, why would it be? [17:34] mgj: Because it worked for Lucid? [17:35] lclimber: but it does say that it's loading grub -- good. Are you sure you don't have a /boot/grub/menu.lst file? [17:35] T0M_4RN0LD___, Really? I would assume it was based on ubuntu testing.... [17:35] soundray: yeah, seems that way. by the look of it, hibernate doesn't recognize the kind of machine i have. i had to s2ram --force to get it to work. though now the screen simply doesn't turn on [17:35] soundray yes am sure [17:35] hi [17:35] quit [17:35] lclimber: how do you load your kernel? [17:36] ... [17:36] mgj: Ubuntu is always based on Debian [17:36] T0M_4RN0LD___: Lucid is LTS [17:36] i dont know if this version of grub saves the kernel path on another file [17:36] T0M_4RN0LD___, same package system, yes [17:36] mgj: We import from debian. [17:36] Pici, ok [17:36] soundray: an interesting note though. i can hibernate just fine after initial login (before i startx), but only under X does the problem occur [17:36] Pici: so Maxerick will be SID again? [17:36] T0M_4RN0LD___: You find many Maverick details until after UDS. [17:37] mgj: you can loop over your .tex files: for i in *.tex ; do Xspell $i ; done [17:37] T0M_4RN0LD___: likely [17:37] hello people, i cannot see windows partitions in ubuntu installer [17:37] Pici: So it is not decided yet .. OK [17:37] the GUI one [17:37] lclimber: what DO you have in /boot/grub? [17:37] Does anyone know how I can fix this? (I'm trying to install my new website) parse_ini_file(config/config.ini) [function.parse-ini-file]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /var/www/install.php on line 2 [17:38] OZiRY: check permissions of your files [17:38] its like a list of modules [17:38] OZiRY: check line2 of that file, what does it try to do [17:38] soundray, cheers but that seems really overkill to me. Cannot understand there is not an easier way, like, you know a -R modifier or something [17:38] OZiRY: does www-data have permission to read config.ini? [17:39] idk how to to see that [17:39] im a newbie and i recently install Kubuntu (9.10) with the wubi install, andi i would like to configure my wireless connexion. My chipset is recognized, but i don't know how to configure the conexion, some help ???? [17:39] OZiRY: its a text file.. use a text editor [17:39] btw I fixed the file but now other files in the www folder doesnt work [17:39] smbtree no longer works on this box, or the other two boxes on the lan? [17:39] ther is a grub.cfg file [17:39] n2diy: how about 'findsmb' ? [17:40] OZiRY: you need to find the file, and look at the permissions property sheet uing a graphical itnerface; or via command line type 'ls -lad config.ini' in the connect directory [17:40] mgj: you're using the term "overkill" in a way that I haven't previously been aware of [17:40] lclimber: good chance that's your grub configuration [17:40] yes, i think it is [17:40] OZiRY: maybe you should ocnsider chmod -R [17:41] lclimber: I'd look for the 'timeout' line and increase it [17:41] mrgenixus: ok ill try that, 1 sec [17:41] john [17:41] Dr_Willis: that works. What happened to smbtree? [17:41] soundray, might be wrong, english is not my native language. But yeah.... making a script just to traverse a folder structure? I might be wrong, but it just seems to me as if there should be an easier way [17:41] no, there is not a timeout setting [17:42] find is designed to traverse directory structures. What's the goal? [17:42] mgj: it's a one-line bash command. You're exaggerating when you call that a script. [17:42] Why wouldn't you use find? [17:43] find with -exec is as simple and efficient as you're going to get, especially with xargs. [17:43] pixil, i tried, but failed. Did something like this "find -name *.tex* | xargs aspell -t" but didnt work out too well. "./texfile.tex" is not a valid input. [17:43] What's the goal? [17:43] hello [17:44] nick k [17:44] find all .tex files in the folder (and sub-folders). Use them as input to aspell in order to spell check them === kindle is now known as k === k is now known as kindle [17:44] mgj: find . -name '*.tex' -exec aspell -t '{}' \; [17:44] too many "*" in that line btw, but you get the idea [17:44] find / -name \*.tex -exec aspell -t {} \; [17:44] where / is the directory, not /. [17:44] dont wanna search / =O... but thats awesome, thanks [17:45] soundray: When your 'one line script' has ';' in it, it's a script. :-) [17:45] hello [17:45] kindle: Hi. [17:45] pixil, erUSUL, where can i find more info about -exec usage? [17:46] hello [17:46] hello [17:46] mgj: man find [17:46] thanks [17:46] what is the channel for ubuntu off topic?

[17:46] mgj: http://mywiki.wooledge.org/UsingFind is as good as it can get [17:46] mgj: EXAMPLES section of find(8).

[17:47] fuck you [17:47] kindle: Pardon? [17:47] yeah [17:48] pixil, uhm.... Not really. Just trying to learn i guess. However, what is the point of the last part of that line, the "\;" ? the ";" i get but "\" ? [17:48] I only think you know me [17:48] Initiate protocol 23! [17:48] {} tells find to input the file name it found. ;\ is to tells find to process the next file.

Trying to find out how to configure them, but I have no idea what to google for. [17:49] Maranatha: install a ftp server.. configure it.. run it.. [17:49] apparently grub2 does not generate menu.lst; it generates grub.cfg but it is not supposed to be edited [17:50] lclimber: correct.. the grub2 docs/wiki pages make that point VERY VERY clear [17:50] lclimber: are you sure it's not supposed to be edited? [17:50] maranatha: use vsfptd [17:50] if not, how should you configure grub? [17:50] augustl: its not supposed to hbe edited by hand. [17:50] maranatha: vsftpd ** [17:50] yes augustl [17:50] augustl: you use the proper grub2 configs and rerun update-grub [17:50] @ researcher1 [17:50] !grub2 | augustl [17:50] augustl: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Karmic.

[17:59] wegandu: shouldn't be too difficult to try a few [17:59] erUSUL, it should, simply "aspell -t texfile.tex" works.

[18:08] schweegi, I can help [18:09] schweegi, there's a live disk called Gparted [18:09] millertimek1a2m3: yes, but since they are contiguous, you will have to shrink linux and also move it to get space at the end of the previous windows 7 partition. Any time you play with partitions, it's possible for something to go disastrously wrong, so you need to make backups before you start messing around with them, ok? [18:09] Losha, ok... I've been wanting to know how to make a ghost image [18:09] Losha - can you tell me how? [18:10] May I ask a question [18:10] you have already :) [18:11] When is the ubuntu 10-04 rc due out ? [18:11] millertimek1a2m3: yes, i know ..i must start from it. but how can i put the windows installation completly to the second drive without a reinstall of it? i don't like to install ubuntu again because lucid lynx are there in 14 days.. [18:11] millertimek1a2m3: good time to learn then. I've never used it myself, google for 'ghost for linux'. Note that there are many other choices too, e.g. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem [18:11] Yes I guess so..lol sorry! I keep getting a "waiting for systems packages to close when I try to uninstall or install a game from linux..why? [18:12] rob0917: please ask on #ubuntu+1 [18:12] ok [18:12] How do I do that..ask I mean [18:13] schweegi, well, you could do a ghost image of the windows partition, and then intsall that image at the location where you want windows [18:13] then shift ubuntu to where you want it by just using gparted to move it [18:13] then boot up into ubuntu and run grub-reload [18:13] schweegi: my understanding is that you can't just relocate windows without some additional work. You might want to check on #windows for a 2nd opinion... [18:13] cjware [18:14] sup [18:14] thank you :) [18:14] schweegi, I mean grub-restore [18:14] schweegi, yes what Losha said is most likely true...

[18:17] joaopinto you know about how long it will take me to do an image of a 30gb disk? :) [18:17] millertimek1a2m3: i know that my english is not the best.. sorry [18:18] joaopinto well... 30gb used... 80gb total partitioned [18:18] g33kergRL: if you can't find a guide, come back. Maybe we can talk you through step 4. I've installed 8.04 lots of times... [18:18] just out of curiousity, what is that email looking icon on the top right of the screen? i dont remember that in 9.04 [18:18] schweegi, it's ok [18:19] schweegi, the best thing to do to keep yourself from having to retell the story on the server [18:19] schweegi, is make a post, and when you ask you question here, give a link to the post [18:19] schweegi: actually, I find your English very clear and comprehensible. Well done! [18:19] Losha: please, help me i can't find a guide [18:19] never mind i answered my own question just now, thanx [18:19] there used to be one with pcis [18:19] schweegi, you could either make your post at ubuntuforums or on a pastebin.com or something [18:19] g33kergRL: so what is it you're stuck at? [18:20] Does anyone know if wireless keyboards and mice work with ubuntu? [18:20] Losha: thank you .. :) [18:20] millertimek1a2m3: okay [18:20] Yes they do..I'm using them both right now [18:20] yes thank you Losha [18:21] Losha: 1. it doesn't offer me dual booting and 2. i've created partitions but it says nowhere explicitely "i will install on those ext3 partitions and not wipe your ntfs partion, no way no how" [18:21] rosco_y: look for one which doesn't require any special windows drivers, and you should have no problems... [18:21] iceroot, basically the most meaningfull error message I have is " Access denied for user 'bugzilla3'@'localhost' (using password: YES)". I use dbconfig and the provided parameter seems to work just fine. [18:21] :'(Can someone please take a minute to answer my question [18:21] hi === running_rabbit07 is now known as uRock [18:21] Dutchess: what prompt are you getting? [18:21] Something about a software manager thats running [18:22] it's preventing me from uninstalling or installing software [18:22] Hello smart ubuntu people. :) Our schools computers are all getting aged, and I am having a little bit of trouble finding a clear simple answer. I want to install debian on our old test machines, and have it automatically boot into our 2008 R2 RDP session server. Any tips or ideas on where I should start looking? [18:22] g33kergRL: the best defense against that kind of mistake is to make a full backup of your ntfs partition before you install. That way, even the worst fumble will be recoverable... [18:22] Dutchess: if you are running Synaptic Package Manager or Software Center you can only run one of them at a time [18:22] Dutchess: the reason for this is the essentially do the same thing [18:23] Losha: i have that [18:23] Losha: do you know a solution? [18:23] Do what? I'm sorry this is difficult for me no computer experience [18:23] Dutchess: the two programs I mentioned above. manage software installation/removal [18:23] iceroot, nevermind, I found $db_pass = '$db_pass = \'pwd\';'; in the generated config file.. [18:24] thanks though [18:24] Losha: Thank you :) [18:24] hellop [18:24] Dutchess: When one is running it has sudo privileges blocking the other from performing a task [18:24] g33kergRL: ok, then the worst that can happen is you will have to do a restore if it all goes wrong. If you have manually partitioned, I recall there is a window in the partition editor where it says which partitions will be formatted (there's a column with checkmarks in it). Can you see that? [18:24] hello class [18:24] hello [18:25] !hi H7G6F5E4D3C3B1A0 [18:25] | [18:25] IdleOne: :) [18:25] !hi | H7G6F5E4D3C3B1A0 [18:25] H7G6F5E4D3C3B1A0: 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! [18:25] guntbert: :) [18:25] pwd [18:25] H7G6F5E4D3C3B1A0: um, catchy name... :-) [18:26] lol === baba_bubba is now known as BigFatFatty [18:26] exit [18:26] :q [18:26] "/part" [18:26] Losha: yes [18:26] which irc client are you using [18:26] Losha: if i check mark those drives the ohters will be safe? [18:27] !ot | H7G6F5E4D3C3B1A0 [18:27] H7G6F5E4D3C3B1A0: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [18:27] lol [18:27] g33kergRL: only the partitions with format checkmarks will get their data erased, so as long as that's correct, you won't lose data. The rest will be untouched... [18:27] !lol | H7G6F5E4D3C3B1A0 - Do you have an ubuntu support question? [18:27] H7G6F5E4D3C3B1A0 - Do you have an ubuntu support question?: Please don't use "LOL" and "OMG" and so forth on a regular basis. This is IRC, not IM, and using those lines on their own is not required, and it is rather annoying to the rest of the people in the channel; thanks. [18:28] well excuse me! [18:29] o.O [18:29] Actually, I've always hated that rule. I find it one of the less reasonable ones... [18:31] g33kergRL: also, if I recall correctly, the boot manager has it's own little dialog which comes later in the installation process. Usually, it autodetects the windows installation and 'does the right thing'. If it doesn't, you can usually correct it manually after linux boots... [18:31] I am totally disgusted with this server problem, this time I need to eliminate this problem completely, please help: http://paste.ubuntu.com/415087/ [18:31] anyone know why I might not be getting html mails correctly in Lotus Notes running on 10.04 ? [18:31] benkevan : Please join #ubuntu+1 for Lucid/10.04 support/discussion. [18:31] Hi again, my package bugzilla3 is half installed, I cannot complete the install (dunno why), Is there a way to remove it? [18:31] Is there an easy way to make it so grep always ignores .swp files? [18:32] xfact: I can't even *ping* that server. I think it's down. Pick another mirror... [18:33] benkevan: all 10.04 problems go to #ubuntu+1... [18:33] Hey guys, i'm having major, and I do mean MAJOR issues with ubuntu lucid 9.10;i can't even login [18:33] !lucid > Need_halp [18:33] Need_halp, please see my private message [18:33] typo,10.4 [18:33] Losha. I have only this one and it should let you ping cause it's very fast and working anyway, but I don't have any other working mirrors :( [18:34] is there a game like Call of Duty for Ubuntu? [18:34] im trying to remote into my ubuntu server from an XP machine and the XP box is not connecting [18:34] frxstrem, what about enemy territory ? [18:34] is there a specific port i should use? [18:35] xfact: my mistake. Although it doesn't ping, their web server *is* running... [18:35] Hellz_Bellz: What application are you using on windows? Putty? [18:35] the remote desktop client...ive tried other clients [18:35] I think this mirror disaster will solve soon, and it's not possible that all the mirrors of a whole country is off to work, it should solve soon [18:36] omfg [18:36] breezer [18:36] But till now I am *corrupted* with no security updates and all [18:36] ubuntu FAGS [18:36] Hellz_Bellz: The remote desktop client won't be able to connect to an ubuntu server unless you have a really strange setup. Did you install any remote desktop software on your ubuntu server? === yofel_ is now known as yofel [18:37] <_blackwater_> !b | bacardi [18:37] bacardi: b is an IRC channel mode that you don't want on your hostmask. [18:37] no but i read on the forums that it supports it out of the box [18:37] Hi [18:37] im not using the server edition im using the regular distro [18:37] Hi, I d like some help on the ubuntu karmic install of bugzilla3 here : http://pastebin.com/cF6aTc9h [18:37] anyone experienced on here with 10.04? [18:37] Amnite : Please join #ubuntu+1 for Lucid/10.04 support/discussion. [18:38] kk ty [18:38] Hellz_Bellz: you're sure they're talking about ubuntu server and not ubuntu desktop? [18:38] any ideas why character codes (e.g. #012#011) are showing up in syslog instead of actual linebreaks and tabs? This is being emitted by a java app that doesn't exhibit this behaviour on redhat or OS X. [18:38] hello..when i restart my computer ,it says loading grub but than the computer restarts.What could it be the problem?Can I fix the Grub using live cd? [18:38] i KNOW they are talking about the desktop thats what i was inferring [18:38] Hellz_Bellz: Ubuntu has a VNC server built in that you can enable, but you cannot connect from Windows Remote Desktop (RDP) that is a different protcol. [18:39] my /home is on a separate partition. If I remove Karmic and install Lucid and configure it to use the previous /home, will it delete its contents? [18:39] Hellz_Bellz, there is a converter from rdp to vnc, but usually you dont erally want that.... [18:39] xfact: I'm not sure, but the failures all seem to mention 'source'. If I'm right, that should only affect source downloading, not binaries. You might try temporarily commenting out the deb-src lines from your sources.... [18:40] how would i enable the vnc server because the option in preferences does not work\ [18:40] acmps: no [18:40] i have tried to connect with both a VNC AND remote desktop client [18:40] Losha, Good one, thanks I would do that to see the result :) [18:41] xfact: keep a backup copy of the config files so you can revert easily :-) [18:41] how would one remove "ubuntu-restricted-extras" [18:42] Losha, You mean backup of sources.list file? [18:42] xfact: exactly! [18:42] trying to install an app with apt-get and i get the following error fior some reason, E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) [18:42] Losha, kk, thanks for good idea [18:42] :) [18:43] anyone know how to remove "ubuntu-restricted-extras" [18:43] http://pastebin.com/QLZXt42v please :( why does it fail?

[18:44] jimmyjh: does sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-restricted-extras not do it? [18:44] how do i enable the vnc server and how do i connect to it? is there a specific port to use ? [18:45] Losha nope [18:45] lamdacalc: try #latex :-) [18:45] what email client do you guys use in ubuntu ... finding evolution can be a bit sluggish at times, and wonder if there is anything better [18:45] Losha: because it's a metapackage; you will need to uninstall one by one jimmyjh [18:45] !better> jibadeeha [18:45] jibadeeha, please see my private message [18:46] jibadeeha: there is thunderbird, are you familiar with it¿ [18:46] xangua, i will google it [18:46] xangua, was just seeing a easier way [18:46] guntbert: ok, thanks [18:46] how can I get all commands according to some name containing wildcard or other regex mechanism, for instance I want all commands that ends with "term", something like *term, any thought?

THANK YOU ALL!! =D [19:18] Hello, has the Non LanguagePack translation deadline passed? [19:19] I burnt an ISO of 9.04 to CD, and all is fine from the machine I burnt it from. However, I can't boot from it on my old laptop, and from windows, the CD appears empty. Any ideas what might be wrong? Any known compatibility issues that I've missed? [19:19] W43372: just the firefox folder profile if you have other mozilla apps [19:19] Wallace: define old, how many resources¿ [19:20] I need help removing all passwords from an Ubuntu File Server. Anyone Available? [19:20] xangua: about 4 or 5 years (I used to have 7.04 on it). What do you mean by "resources" exactly? [19:21] Wallace, , make sure your boot sequence looks at the cd/dvdrom first or the pc won't boot the live cd [19:21] Wallace: procesor, ram [19:21] W43372: if it *does* work, you get to add every addon back, one by one, until you find the one that crashes your browser... [19:21] Wallace, er the laptop [19:21] Blues: yes, boot order is correct - the CD appears empty, even from within windows. [19:21] 4 or 5 years¿; 7.04 = april 2007 :S [19:22] Wallace: what did you use to burn the cd? [19:22] xangua: Losha: that solution didn't do anything. I thought it was, but I checked and there's still a firefox-bin zombie process, and when I tabbed back to check on the browser, it hung. [19:22] CPU is 2.8ghz celeron, 704MB ram - like I say, I used to dual boot XP/Feisty on it [19:22] Wallace, only thing is to reburn another cd [19:23] Losha: I've tried both something I downloaded from windows, and ubuntu's default "burn image to disk" from the CSM on the ISO [19:23] Blues: I've tried multiple times with different apps under different OSes, with no joy :\ [19:23] W43372: you need to kill the zombie first. Sounds like fun, no? [19:23] I need help removing all passwords from an Ubuntu File Server. Anyone Available? [19:24] Losha It's not letting me kill the zombie. It's immune to kill and end process [19:24] Wallace: if you still have access to ubuntu, you should check the md5sum on the burnt disk... [19:24] Shoot for the head! [19:24] Asher: What do you mean by removing passwords? Do you mean you need to disable accounts? [19:24] yup, good advice Losha [19:24] W43372: use kill -kill as root [19:24] W43372: you need to find the parent process and kill the parent to get rid of a zombie... [19:25] hey guys so i have 3 hard drives plugged into this box but its not detecting one (on 9.10) how do i go about detecting it? [19:25] Yo yo yo [19:25] hey, is there way to see big pictures in thunar, when you choose files from browser example? [19:25] Losha: currently running ubuntu; how do I md5sum a disk? (hint: I can open this disk from this (newer) laptop and see the filesystem, but nothing at all from the old lappy) [19:25] my gf wuld like to see what photos she is uploading, but firefox+thunar only shows the small pictures [19:25] Tabasko: can you clarify "big pictures" please [19:25] tabasko: what do you mean? [19:26] Tabasko: so like a thumbnail? [19:26] ActionParsnip, hunahpu. I mean thumbnail [19:26] just got an idea [19:26] yeah [19:26] Wallace: that changes everything. Sounds like the problem isn't the disk itself, but some compatibility issue between the disk and the old cd reader... [19:27] losha that seems to have worked. Another firefox related question. I can set FF to load multiple tabs when I launch it by typing in more than one URL seperated by a | in the homepage thing in preferences, correct?

[19:52] Losha: I've come to the conclusion that it's GV and netvibes for some reason, though I don't know why. I've been using FF for about ten minutes without any issues, and when I checked the system monitor there was no zombie.

[20:43] stuckey: it shouldn't hang, if it does again you'll have to chroot it [20:43] hunahpu: i'll be right back [20:43] simply make the steps to reproduce and mark as regression? and where ill fill the bug? [20:43] Dantonic: you're missing the filesystem [20:43] I can't get Java to work on Firefox. Any suggestions? [20:43] oh it's not "vfat"?

[20:56] brontosaurusrex: there is not, but it supposedly runs in wine [20:56] gsalah: right click the panel and look for it, you can also right click the volume icon and adjust sound preferences [20:56] is there a web conferencing software available for ubuntu? [20:57] a dedicated one.. skype is not doing very well under extreme conditions... [20:57] anyone here can help with setting up a file server for the house? [20:57] hunahpu, thank you, but I don;t want to tune the main volume, I need a specific volume contro. I the prefrences doen't provide that at the right click [20:57] stuckey, on your live cd there is brassero, cd burningsoftware [20:57] in regards to the "sun-java6-xxx" packages, they appear to be no longer existent in synaptic.

[21:00] wrapster http://www.teamspeak.com/?page=downloads [21:00] ubuntunewb: Then install the .bin file from the java site... [21:00] wrapster did try only on Win [21:00] I manage my work over seas and running ubuntu on all my client machines. [21:00] so at a given point i might be in conversation with 6-8 ppl over world.. [21:01] can team speak handle that? [21:01] hello, i made a mistake two days ago. i tried copying way too many files to a windows xp machine, now it won't boot because i think the hard drive is full. so i went ahead and created an ubuntu live cd and booted the computer. whenever i try to mount the windows xp hard drive to recover some files i get an error? what's going on? [21:01] hi, i'm trying to `iwconfig wlan0 ap 06:18:0A:30:00:08` (an AP that comes up from `iwlist scan`), but nothing happens -- iwconfig later just reports "Not Associated." how do i associate with this AP? [21:01] gsalah: it should change depending the sound card; I dunno of a general GUI sorry [21:01] BRB [21:01] wrapster TS is effective - i have used it by gaming, better than Skype [21:01] has apt a cache of old packages? [21:01] i get "unable to mount location" exit code 13 failed to calculate free MFT records... [21:01] hunahpu, okay thank you, the console one helps. :) [21:01] Does anyone know how to start up the networking interface when the computer boots up instead of when a user logs in ? [21:02] ombra: /var/cache/apt/archives/ [21:02] ubuntunewb: http://sites.google.com/site/easylinuxtipsproject/java <--- however if use this way, it has to be manually updated. [21:03] ombra: Do you mean a cache of packages you have installed on your system? If so under /var/cache/ apt ... [21:03] ok thanks. [21:03] csna152 i thing it is starting before login [21:03] Hi, does anyone know some yahoo messenger compatible app that may run on freebsd without compiling ? i have restrictions on the shell and from what i've tried, they give me errors at make install :/ [21:04] for desktop edition you have to have a user login first [21:04] Pixar: just compile x-chat [21:04] restrictions .... [21:04] danand when apt install new software then it keeps a package of the old software? [21:04] Pixar: you can compile the application and run it from the compile directory without doing 'make install' [21:04] compile it on a nother machine and transfer the .so file [21:05] csna152 i just looked at rcS.d - it has networking deamon [21:05] Pixar: after you run the 'make' script, if it is successfull you have compiled the program and it should be able to run. [21:05] grepgav, but what if it needs to do some changes to some folders i don't have access to? [21:05] Guys I need help [21:05] right the daemon is running but it will not start the dhcp connection until someone logs in. I believe its the network manager that is running. [21:06] I Accidentally erased all my applications files from my disk, is there a way to retrieve this files? [21:06] ombra: kinda depends how you installed the new software. If from a repository then the old package should still be under /var/cache/apt [21:06] Pixar: the 'make install' will try to and change things you don't have access to. It will take the compiled program and start putting files in certain directories on the computer. However, most of the time you can just run the program from the directory you compile in/ [21:06] Pixar: do you get through the 'make' step without errors?

[21:31] hi, someone has tested ubuntu on a ppc machine?. thanks. [21:31] Grub doesn't work in 9.10 [21:31] Maybe it works in 10.04? [21:31] malev: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-center will tell [21:31] NVRM version: NVIDIA UNIX x86 Kernel Module 195.36.15 Thu Mar 11 21:41:46 PST 2010 [21:31] GCC version: gcc version 4.4.3 (Ubuntu 4.4.3-4ubuntu5) [21:32] stuckey: In what way does it "not work"? [21:32] benkevan, thanks!! but one more thing, what is that AFAIK thing? [21:32] arand: "GRUB_" at boot and nothing else [21:32] benkevan: hm but when doing so the hardware drivers installer says that there is a problem [21:32] oh: Because of the new alternatives system used for nvidia driver packages, the nvidia installer from NVIDIA's website currently doesn't work. [21:32] so they just have to be installed manually. [21:32] stuckey: get a liveCD and reinstall grub. [21:32] yeah, you'll have to manually graft them in, limikael [21:32] benkevan: are you using propetiary drivers? [21:32] arand: I'm on a live cd. Already re-installed grub twice. [21:33] arand: any other suggestions? If not, I'll just burn a 10.04 cd and try that [21:33] limikael: Yes.. see above.. of my cat /proc/drivers/nvidia/version [21:33] hey guys, for some reason this computer just hangs, doesnt matter what i do, i could be doing nothing, playing a game, doing some html programming, it just locks up. it doesnt do this in xp [21:33] ubuntunewb: oh... how do I manually do that? [21:33] stuckey what steps did you take? [21:33] I'm running 195.36.15 which was installed yesterday on a new installation of Ubuntu Lucid which was upgraded.. using the linux-server kernel (PAE) [21:33] zaxonspox: i don't know - someone send me a how to. I mounted the fildsystem and then did grub-install on it [21:34] how can I make a script that automatically creates an entry in the "Applications" menu? [21:34] hylian: Maybe the computer shouldn't be so emo and hang itself.. just a thought.. [21:34] benkevan: alright.. but you didn't install them using the hardware driver installer then? [21:34] <_jacques> hylian, you should run memtest first of all. [21:34] limikael: Yes.. I did install using the hardware driver tool.. It gave error at first [21:34] then I rebooted [21:34] removed what was there.. [21:34] rebooted [21:34] jacques, after reboot? [21:34] benkevan: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [21:34] installed only the 174 [21:35] okay i'll try 10.04 [21:35] limikael: I'm not sure about the Nvidia stuff, that's a special case. [21:35] <_jacques> hylian, memtest is a boot option shows like a kernel choice. [21:35] sorry, someon has tested ubuntu for ppc? [21:35] hi.. does anyone known about a converter for openoffice files? foo to text/plain? like pdf2text? [21:35] how can I get the hdd names more friendly? [21:35] openoffice is compatible with most wordprocessing programs [21:35] stuckey: You did the whole "grub-install --root-directory=/appropriate/directory /dev/appropriate_sdevice" with no errors? [21:35] abountu: add smileys? ;) [21:35] benkevan: "removed that was there"... what did you remove? [21:35] jacques, it's not my memory, unless ubuntu cant handle 4 gigs in a 32 bit environment. i just said with xp on here (it was on here yesterday) never any hangs [21:36] SvenG, no I meant my hdd is mounted as : /media/cb8969dd-1059-4b35-8c86-7c96fe28cf04 [21:36] limikael: There when I went to install it said it installed (ie lit up both lights) for the 2 options.. I just clicked on remove (or uninstall) on both of them.. to start over with the newly rebooted to kernel (this was after I installed linux-server) kernel (pae) [21:36] SvenG, is there a way to name it something like disk1... [21:36] abountu: maybe add labels to the partitions in a program like GParted - I think that should work (at least it does for me) [21:36] abountu: ln -s /media/cb8969dd-1059-4b35-8c86-7c96fe28cf04 /media/mydisk [21:37] abountu: add a symlink.. [21:37] <_jacques> hylian, linux is much more subject to memory problems thant XP. [21:37] stuckey did you do grub-setup with parameters? [21:37] could someone help me? My fstab is set up to mount my other hard drive at boot it reads "/dev/sdc1 /media/main ext3 rw 0 2" but i still cant write anything to it! how do i make it writeable? [21:38] jacques i know how to run memtest, but for how long? I have run that test before it can sit for hours before restarting phase 1 [21:38] benkevan: sorry not quite following... would you mind walking me through that in PM? [21:38] <_jacques> hylian, so try memtest, say half an hour. [21:38] only if you promise to hold my hand.. haha.. yeah no problem.. PM away [21:38] jacques ok ill do that, bye! [21:38] weekly, if you do ls -l /media | grep main what do you get?

[21:40] frxstrem: Empathy is probably more compatible, I'm guessing. I was just being facetious. Never tried Pidgin [21:40] frxstrem: sorry, on the msn protocol? [21:40] <_jacques> Network question (2nd call) : nm-applet icon shows a red (!) and Firefox starts "off-line". I have to set it "on-line". What should I try ? [21:40] Empathy gave me errors on fresh install, since then i have shifted to pidgin [21:40] weekly you need to take over your files by changing owner [21:41] zaxonspox, how do i acomplish this? [21:42] !voicechat [21:42] !voip [21:42] VoIP is Voice over IP. The default VoIP client for Ubuntu is !Ekiga. There is also an xmpp voice component in !Empathy. Kubuntu Clients include Kphone and Twinkle. Proprietary Clients include !Skype and Gizmo5. VoIP server applications include Asterisk and Yate ( both in repositories ), FreePBX, and SipX.

[21:51] sab: just right click and add new item and select notification [21:51] hey all: recently tried to compile and run gnome-shell to help looking for bugs etc. Ever since my compiz/emerald setup has been giving me a hard time.

[21:52] hell0: right click on the panel then Add to panel [21:52] ye [21:52] frxstrem, I unmounted the drives, added lables in gparted, and then tried to mount again, and then I got the uiid as the mount point (/media//) [21:52] hi [21:52] frxstrem, you reckon this needs rebooting? [21:52] zoug, thank you .....:-) [21:52] anyone know some app for checking bad blocks with gui? [21:52] sab: :) [21:52] IdleOne, i just cant put it in the corner [21:52] seems like compiz is working, but emerald is not setting my themes correctly. Where do I fix that? [21:52] mleger: If you want to use compiz, we may be able to help in #compiz. For gnome-shell, no telling [21:53] abountu: I don't know, when I did this, I added the labels *before* installing Ubuntu, so that could possibly make things a bit different [21:53] <_jacques> zoug, My nm-applet icon shows a red (!) and Firefox starts "off-line". I have to set it "on-line". What should I try ? [21:53] ! emerald | mleger [21:53] mleger: emerald is an obsolete window decorator for compiz. It's unsupported and unmaintained, making issues with it very hard to diagnose and fix. There are no known, supported alternatives. [21:53] hell0: right click on the desktop switcher and unlock it [21:54] abountu: but you should still try to reboot and stuff, if it still doesn't work, then I don't know - you might want to create a symlink to it [21:54] hell0: then you will be able to put the trash in the corner and lock to panel [21:54] im trying to move it [21:54] how do I create a custom shortcut to do something (start a program, run a script etc.)? [21:54] frxstrem, actually it worked... i had tried umounting/remounting before applying the changes in gparted... now after they're applied it worked [21:54] thx! [21:55] _jacques: the red mark indicates there is a bug. if you click on it, will tell you the details. submit those at launchpad.

[21:55] I have an issue with trying to mount a samba share on a vm, it works on my local machiene but not on the vm any ideas?/exit [21:55] !ot > limikael [21:55] limikael, please see my private message [21:55] <_jacques> zoug, ok.. In the meantime, is there a work-around, like tlleing FFox to ignore that ? [21:56] alket there was a file, but you will need to relogin [21:56] xangua: k [21:56] zaconspox ok, can you tell me [21:56] IdleOne, Trash icon doesnt move. i click on it and try to move [21:57] it's not locked [21:57] _jacques: is that error related to firefox? what does it say? [21:57] how do I open the "GConf Editor"? [21:57] hell0: right click on the icon and click move, then you will be able to move it but before that you need to right click on the desktop switcher and unlock it. [21:57] Howdy, I have a hopefully quick question. I'm occasionally getting out of disk space errors, but df is telling me I have nearly 60GB available on the partition, but df -i tells me it's nearly out of inodes. What can I do to help that? [21:57] :) [21:58] soreau: thanks for the help, sorry for the late reply. Is there an alternative to emerald in terms of window borders decorators? [21:58] IdleOne, thanks for the help :) [21:58] <_jacques> zoug, in fact both Claws-Mail and FFox are complaining, the both start in off-line mode. I have to set them ton "on-line" and it works fine untill the next reboot. [21:58] If I try to boot ubuntu with my second hard drive attached (the SCSI cable hookedup) grub just hangs. [21:58] hell0: my pleasure [21:59] What's the app called behind system -> perferences -> keyboard? [21:59] soreau: sorry, I'll post it on #compiz [21:59] _jacques: you can re-install firefox too(after a backup, if you want). or may be check out synaptic for firefox updates? [21:59] alket /home//.gconf/desktop/gnome/background/%gconf.xml [21:59] any samba pros out there?
