[00:09] im hopeing this works do you use it your self boss [00:10] razz1: you don't need the IP, you just need the address of the server, a url works [00:10] anyone here has used ucarp? i need some help [00:10] ActionParsnip: why would wicd, when run outside of a DE, not be able to connect? But then within a DE, it can connect without a problem?

[00:21] ActionParsnip, for instance, deleting ~/gnome2 (or equivalent)? [00:21] Blue1: Let me boot into Ubunto, sec . . [00:22] how would i find what channel he is in¿ [00:22] it isnt telling me in whois [00:22] duolos: you could rename and test [00:23] ChiefDean: i think that is a freenode thing [00:23] Hi guys. I'm messing arround with schroot. My UID on my real system is 10000 (thats 10,000), So I made a user in the chrooted environment with UID 10000 but with a diferent name, so I could tell when I was in the chrooted environment. However, the environment variable of NAME, LOGIN, and HOME are all set to the name of my user on my real machine, and therefore, when I "login" it doesn't read my bashrc file or put me in the h [00:23] i know, i wish i knew what channel he was in [00:23] hmm [00:23] Chiliblue: you can't, unless it is -i, and it isn't [00:24] you could pm and ask ChiefDean [00:24] i am, its doing the thing in PM :P [00:24] thanks, i got it [00:24] nice [00:25] hello, how is everybody doin? [00:25] Blue1: OK [00:25] mccrase90: Good, and you? [00:25] not bad mccrase90 ;) [00:25] pretty good [00:26] Great! [00:26] awesome leroy ;) [00:26] lol [00:26] :) [00:26] :) [00:26] can anyone help me with my sound? [00:26] the other day, my speakers were working find but i was trying to skype and my mic wasn't working... === will_laptop is now known as will_hough [00:27] so i found a website saying that if i disable ALSA and use OSS instead my mic would start working. but i messed up somehow with neither installed [00:27] now, i have no sound at all [00:28] mccrase90: try alsamixer, and check the pcm volume [00:28] i think i got alsa back on, but when i go to sound preferences there is no hardware listed [00:28] how do i run alsamixer? [00:28] alt+f2 then run alsamixer? [00:28] mccrase90: I think it is installed by default, try alsamixer in a terminal [00:28] or that [00:29] terminal didn't do anything [00:29] hmmm... try: aptitude show alsamixer [00:30] unable to locate package alsamixer [00:31] do a quick: sudo aptitude update [00:31] so how safe is it really to run stuff from the ubuntu 'universe'.. i mean can anyone put code in there? [00:31] mccrase90 you do know there is a GUI for alsamixer that is quite nice. Its called Gnome ALSA mixer =) [00:31] !motu | kermit [00:31] kermit: motu is short for Masters of the Universe. The brave souls who maintain the packages in the Universe section of Ubuntu. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU [00:31] how do i run it onryo? [00:31] gnome-alsamixer 0.9.7 [00:31] kermit: really safe [00:31] jrib: thanks [00:32] Just sudo apt-get installe gnome-alsamixer [00:32] kermit: anyone can put code in PPAs [00:32] does anyone know what a good virtualizer to run FreeBSD to its full potential would be? [00:32] and you will find it under Applications [00:32] i had to install it [00:33] There's more that one way to skin a cat. :) [00:33] I run both OpenBSD 4.7 and FreeBSD in VMware 7.2 [00:33] hi [00:33] onryo, is it free? [00:33] but there is no tools [00:33] i just did an update all in synaptic and now my flash plugin is broken [00:33] tools? [00:33] the player is free [00:33] in ubuntu 10.04 [00:33] and works just fine [00:33] how do i fix it? [00:33] Yeah in ubuntu [00:33] onryo, what "tools"? [00:34] onryo: i installed it and ran it, but it's just a blank window with the menus at the top [00:34] onryo: can you take care of mccrase90? I have to run. [00:34] no tools but you dont need them [00:34] Hey there. [00:34] thanks for the help agentgasmask [00:34] mccrase90: no problem [00:34] :) [00:34] good luck! [00:35] I came here seeking help on either installing Ubuntu without GRUB, or putting GRUB on a USB drive using the Lucid Lynx alternate CD. [00:35] Right now I am at the point where I can pick which install process to do. [00:35] agentgasmask you dont really need the tools. If you have Compiz installed you can just rotate to a new Desktop [00:35] Anyone have any idea what I am talking about? [00:36] onryo, what "tools"? [00:36] tiox you mean you want to boot off a USB tiox? [00:36] yo **** compiz, metacity is where it's at [00:36] lol [00:36] I do that all the time with my BackTrack [00:36] oh good [00:36] Sure. [00:36] libflashplayer.so doesnt exist on my system anymore [00:36] Every once and a while I will lose my title bar how can I get that back? do I have to restart gnome? [00:37] anyone knows if uCARP works the same as CARP in OpenBSD? [00:37] onryo: what do i need to do to get my sound hardware to show up in sound preferences? [00:37] How can I do that from the alternate CD installer? [00:38] Because I heard it was possible. Figured I would give it a try. [00:39] tiox: are you asking how to set up the usb drive? [00:39] imccrase90 if you install gnome-alsamixer you will find a nice GUI under Applications [00:39] Yes, how can I set up Ubuntu for a USB drive? [00:39] Just click on that tool and you don't have to mess with the ugly shell looking alsamixer [00:39] tiox: easiest solution i found was at pendrive linux. [00:39] http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ [00:39] Ugh. [00:39] I want a FULL install, not a live session. [00:39] tiox that is the best way [00:40] tiox: you can do the install from there. [00:40] tiox: let me finish [00:40] and yeah you can do a install to the USB and save stuff [00:40] Okay. Just saying, I did the universal USB thing last time and all it gave me was a live session. [00:40] tiox: if you build using one of the 'normal' distributions, you can easily edit the menu.lst file to use any other ubuntu cd image. [00:40] tiox: did you notice the 'install' on the desktop of the live session? [00:40] Yeah? [00:40] tiox: yep [00:41] You're saying, put the image on the USB drive via the universal USB installer, then choose to install to the same drive? === SolidLiq is now known as solid_liq [00:41] tiox: i'm not exactly sure what you're asking. sound like you just want to boot a 'full' distro install off usb now. is that what you want? [00:42] Precisely. === bribroder is now known as tyrrex [00:42] I want the full OS on my 8GB USB drive. [00:42] (Really 7.40GB, but whatever) [00:42] Hey, is there a way with grub-pc to reboot the machine and tell it which menu item to use if it's not the default? [00:42] tiox: should work to another usb drive, sure. swap may be tough on the flash, etc. but yeah, that works. [00:42] (for a remote machine) [00:42] tiox: i suppose it'd work off a cd too. [00:43] tiox: i've installed to removable drives, just not flash. [00:43] tiox: just be aware that swap may go through your flash drives. [00:44] Let's not overcomplicate things. [00:44] All I want is full Ubuntu on my USB drive. [00:44] tiox: as i said... [00:44] tiox here is a video this is one I use http://www.offensive-security.com/videos/backtrack-usb-install-video/backtrack-usb-install.html [00:45] hey there. how do i add a entry for a session @ gdm? i tried the way it seemed to work for ubuntu 10.04 which was to add a entry to /usr/share/xsessions [00:45] (+ some gconftool magic) [00:45] but it doesn't actually appear to work. there's no new entry when i try to change my session at gdm === Aaron53672 is now known as Aaron5367 [00:46] hello === onryo is now known as Moxy_Merlinspike [00:47] I tried to install Ubuntu netbook in a dual boot with windows xp. Something went wrong and now when I boot I end up in a grub rescue command line. [00:47] Growl, I don't wanna do that. Call me lazy, but I want it so easy my mother can do it. [00:48] that sux johnny [00:48] johnny77: did the install complete? [00:48] lazy is a good thing. Means you know what your doing tiox =) [00:48] So, let me ask this agaiun -- Can I use pendrivelinux's tool to have ubuntu on USB as live, then use the installer to (Re)install it to the same drive? [00:48] johnny77: probably not the end of the world. [00:48] any recommendations for something like oocalc but that can better handle time serie data? I'm running experiments where some score is measured each timestep and is logged to a file. Each experiment runs a different combination of parameters. I want to be able to answer questions like "what are the 10 experiments that yielded the best score", "are there any experiments whose score was still improving when we stopped?", etc. [00:48] tiox you can tiox [00:48] And the bootloader will be on USB, no bones about it? [00:49] yup [00:49] tiox: what i am saying is that you can install to the USB drive like any other. the pendrive linux tool will create the live cd images on usb, which although they can be persistent, is something you say you don't want. so yes it can. [00:49] tiox this is a nice way to do it [00:49] bobstro: yes. [00:49] http://www.offensive-security.com/videos/backtrack-usb-install-video/backtrack-usb-install.html [00:49] Alright. [00:49] tiox: you can install to the usb, yes. (again) [00:49] So I wasted a CD on alternate install for nothing. Wheeeeee. -_- [00:49] tiox: i think you'll survive. [00:49] i compiled a c program with gcc and when i try to run it nothing happens, it says no such command [00:50] reedz0rz: chmod +X thefile && ./thefile [00:50] but with a weak pulse tiox =) [00:50] chmod +x rather [00:50] tiox: now... this assumes the usb drive is large enough, of course. [00:50] ty [00:50] Hey guys, Does anyone know the repo for beagled? I am in ubuntu 10.10 and its not included yet. [00:50] i am having a issue in 10.10 with my window borders #ubuntu+1 is ignoring me for no reason on the topic [00:50] btw what does that do? [00:50] Should be. [00:50] <|2exx> what was that pendrive app called? [00:50] johnny77: read some of the howtos on recovering a windows or ubuntu install. everything is *probably* fine, but it can be nervewracking when it happens. [00:50] nvm dont explain [00:51] !10.10 | Vbits [00:51] !10.10 | tukadafoonday [00:51] Vbits: Maverick Meerkat is the codename for Ubuntu 10.10, due October 10, 2010 - Maverick Release Candidate at http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/1010 , discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [00:51] tukadafoonday: Maverick Meerkat is the codename for Ubuntu 10.10, due October 10, 2010 - Maverick Release Candidate at http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/1010 , discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [00:51] IO had Ubuntu on it before, just with bootloader on a separate drive. [00:51] What a trip that was. [00:51] hi guys... [00:51] Just for the lulz we ran a RAID with 2 USB pen drives. A little coding on the alt vertion but it worked! [00:51] RAID 0 that is [00:51] tukadafoonday: wow you are about the only person I know who runs beagle. I always kill it - it's a resource hog. [00:51] Ubuntu is amazing [00:51] bobstro: I don't mean to be a pain but were do I find them? [00:51] Moxy_Merlinspike: not technically raid, but sweet :) [00:51] Moxy_Merlinspike: that sounds about as useless as forkbombing yourself for the lulz [00:52] johnny77: i'd suggest going to the forums and searching on 'boot recovery' and similar topics. [00:52] Blue1, What is a different search tool that provides that same functionality? [00:52] Hi [00:52] Is there a performance increase if you add two NIC cards? [00:52] bobstro: TY [00:52] johnny77: it is too tough to follow complicated procedures here. [00:52] ActionParsnip no but it was striped all the same [00:52] tukadafoonday: locate [00:52] Ive got Ubuntu 10.04 recently installed on my Lenovo G550 laptop, and the webcam does not work at all (just a black blank screen as a result) can anyone help me? [00:52] how do i get and activate themes? [00:52] Balask: no, but you can turn your computer into a firewall with 2 nics [00:52] Not like USB is super fast but it was still fun to do. [00:52] tukadafoonday: sudo apt-get install locate [00:52] Moxy_Merlinspike: aye it uses the same technology but there is no redundancy ;) [00:52] tukadafoonday: then sudo updatedb and you [00:53] Moxy_Merlinspike: the nslu2 guys boot off usb drives. [00:53] lol, non at all ActionParsnip that is true [00:53] tukadafoonday: should be good to go [00:53] how do i get and activate themes? [00:53] but hey could have made a 1+0 RAID aka RAID 10 [00:53] Blue1, Locate is already installed for the terminal... Does it have a GUI version? [00:53] Chaos2358: System/Preferences/Appearence/Theme [00:53] Ive got Ubuntu 10.04 recently installed on my Lenovo G550 laptop, and the webcam does not work at all (just a black blank screen as a result) can anyone help me? [00:54] with 4 USBs. [00:54] tukadafoonday: i honestly don't know - I always use it on the command line. [00:54] okay that chmod thing worked on my compiled program but why do i have to use it every time to get the program to ru n [00:54] kinki: run: lsusb one will identify the device, websearch for the 8 character hex id [00:54] reedz0rz: copy it to your $PATH [00:54] reedz0rz, you shouldnt have to [00:54] Blue1 - I knew about the terminal version - I wante3d something similar to OSX's spotlight or the near windows 7 search. [00:54] it compiled it to a file called "a.out" [00:55] tukadafoonday: another option is the find command, that is also command line though [00:55] i just ran gcc file.c [00:55] reedz0rz: the file produced by gcc should already be executable, you don't need to chmod [00:55] Yeah that is a problem with a software raid. You can only use one disk for Grub boot all the same it is no big deal [00:55] yeah well when i type it into command line it says error [00:55] if #ubuntu+1 refuses to answer my 10.10 issue then what should I do [00:55] reedz0rz: gcc file.c && ./a.out [00:55] a.out command not found [00:56] okay [00:56] ActionParsnip: does it work with inbuilt webcams too? [00:56] kinki: it is still attatched to the usb bus [00:56] tukadafoonday: what's wrong with Applications/Accessories/Search for Files? [00:56] reedz0rz: That error means it doesn't find a.out in PATH. Instead, tell it where to look (i.e. with ./) [00:57] i get t [00:57] thank you [00:57] I would use DDD if you are doing that stuff. Makes finding bugs etc much easer. [00:57] ActionParsnip: i cannot distinguish which is it... theyre pretty much the same (Bus 008 Device ==1: IDxxxx:xxxx Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub) [00:57] so when I compile it wont put the program into PATH unless i copy it myself [00:58] its slow to access.... and it doesn't start pumping out indexed searches until you hit the search button - where as spotlight - you just start typing and it starts listing all relevant files. [00:58] I seem to have a slight problem. anything thats on screen seems to have a slight "smudge" towards the right on it [00:58] reedz0rz: correct [00:58] excuse me, where's the mp3 file when firefox is downloading a music to be listen online? [00:58] tukadafoonday: to each his own I suppose. there's about 100 different ways to do things in Linux, all valid. [00:59] Off to dinner, done cooking bbl [00:59] scam-- [00:59] Moxy_Merlinspike: i think i just scored on the LULZ front: some guy in my apartment complex just dumped a dell powerconnect 24 port switch, and a computer im about to rape for an NIC. can you say score? [00:59] Can someone tell me WHY I can't boot from USB with a install from Universel USB Installer? It gets stuck at SYSLINXUS 3.86 2010-04-01 EBIOS Copyright part.......I've tried 10.4 and 10.10 distro, and I have 10.04 netbook distro already installed. Everytime I select boot from USB from BIOS it just gets stuck... this didn't happen before [00:59] kinki: yep, one is your webcam [01:00] anyone know if ePSXe has a linux version [01:00] I seem to have a slight problem. anything thats on screen seems to have a slight "smudge" towards the right on it [01:00] BizGuy: Have you tried using Unetbootin? The latest one [01:00] this is not the right channel to ask, reedz0rz, i'd go to their website/irc chan [01:00] ok sorry [01:01] russjr08: nope... should i? [01:01] yup [01:01] I believe the address is http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net [01:01] russjr08: does it support 10.10 RC? [01:01] tank8465 not sure I know what you mean. If you are out to do a -3 ring attack on his NIC and then pwn the SMM on -2 ring lvl I could help ;) [01:01] yup :) [01:01] im there right now [01:01] ok [01:01] That's how I got it [01:02] I'm trying to install ncurses and when I do "sudo apt-get install ncurses" it tells me, "#ubuntu", how can I fix this? [01:02] Under version, do I select DAILY LIVE? [01:02] On sourceforge? [01:02] russjr08: because i don't see 10.10 under Ubuntu [01:03] brb [01:03] russjr08: i'm in the program already [01:03] Do you already have the iso? [01:03] yup [01:03] ah i see, i just select the image [01:03] got it [01:04] yeah [01:04] ill state my question again, hopefully more clear this time: how do i install some arbitray window manager like xmonad under ubuntu 10.10 maverick? i understand that i need to do some session stuff for it to work with gdm. and i did that stuff that was necessary for ubuntu 10.4 (like adding a /usr/share/sessions/xmonad.desktop entry). but i still *can't* choose xmonad as session/wm at the gdm login screen [01:04] I seem to have a slight problem. anything thats on screen seems to have a slight "smudge" towards the right on it http://imgur.com/r4MQl [01:04] it does the rest === Moxy_Merlinspike is now known as LKM [01:04] ok i got to go [01:04] did they change the gdm choose-session-stuff with 10.10? [01:05] does anyone use ssmtp to send outgoing mail?

[02:09] !repeat > xXEMO111Xx [02:09] xXEMO111Xx, please see my private message [02:09] i_am_glick>nope [02:09] _schism_: I tried my best. :( Sorry I can't be of more help. [02:09] cbleslie, _schism_ ok, let me look something up [02:09] wolfgang99, do you know of a unix email client that does? [02:10] Can anyone help out here? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1587558 [02:10] <_schism_> cbleslie, dude the fact you were willing to help means more than actualy finding the answer in a lot of ways..... [02:10] <_schism_> skrite, thank you so much [02:10] i_am_glick: Maybe Thunderbird? [02:10] _schism_: That's what this stuff is all about. Helping people. :) [02:10] damn bot! [02:10] i_am_glick, umm.......... [02:10] xXEMO111Xx: so are you asking why it's not a wav in windows, or why you have to encode it? [02:11] <_schism_> cbleslie, I agree and maybe one day I can do the same. maybe I can become an offical ubuntu cheerleader :) [02:11] Why can't I keep dhcp3 from putting dns servers in my resolv.conf? this is my dhclient.conf: request subnet-mask, broadcast-address, routers [02:11] i_am_glick, try thunderbird [02:11] yeah i am [02:11] is bobstro a bot too? [02:11] im surprised that evolution doesnt [02:11] _schism_: We can only hope for that day to come. :P [02:11] what the heck? [02:11] xXEMO111Xx: no, i am not sure what your question actually is. [02:12] xXEMO111Xx: re-pasting the original convoluted question will not help clarify. [02:12] _schism_, the music store does show up in synaptic? as already being installed? oh, and what ubuntu version are you using? lucid? [02:12] <_schism_> cbleslie, then again I walk around with a 50cd spindle of burned ubuntu cds and hand them out to anyone that will take them :) [02:12] are you a bot? [02:12] i_am_glick, try using windows live mail :) [02:12] xXEMO111Xx: are you actually interested in figuring something out? [02:12] yes [02:12] <_schism_> skrite, 9.10 ummmm never could remeber the code names. and synaptic shows every ubuntuone package installed [02:13] xXEMO111Xx: you mentioned several different things in your question, so i'm not sure what to suggest. [02:13] xXEMO111Xx, who? [02:13] HOW MANY BOTS ARE THERE HERE!?! [02:13] !caps | xXEMO111Xx [02:13] xXEMO111Xx: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [02:13] xXEMO111Xx: ubottu IS a bot [02:13] xXEMO111Xx, who are u talking to? [02:14] xXEMO111Xx, a bazillion, i think. they should get their own channel [02:14] Can anyone help out here? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1587558 [02:14] hello [02:14] they will turn off the bots as soon as you are begining to talk [02:14] Visual [02:14] i totally am a bot too. [02:14] is 'skrite' a bot? [02:14] like. i know robot stuff. [02:14] MooshiMuushi, i think i know [02:14] Im trying to disable this: < SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad id=11 [slave pointer (2)] > with this: " xinput -set-prop 13 “Device Enabled” 0" and getting tihs error "property “Device doesn't exist, you need to specify its type and format" what am I doing wrong? [02:14] !ot [02:14] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [02:14] MooshiMuushi: have you tried MediaTomb? [02:14] skrite, I'm always here :) [02:15] xXEMO111Xx: this is an ubuntu support channel, maybe you can take your bot games elsewhere [02:15] Rotham, why? [02:15] lol xxemo111xx your name is both annoying to type, and you're more paranoid than that time that I mixed mushrooms and coke [02:15] xXEMO111Xx: you realize cddb is not the audio file format, right? [02:15] ok, I was able to remove the grub and boot into windows. Is it hard to fix the partitions? [02:15] MooshiMuushi, when you reboot it does not use your /etc/network/interfaces ? disable the gnome applet nm-applet [02:15] MooshiMuushi: It streams UPNP [02:15] OPS BAN HAMMER NOWWWWW! [02:15] etherealite: drop the caps please [02:15] <_BEAST> This is webchat annalist rooms 0_o [02:15] xXEMO111Xx: cddb reads the disc layout. [02:15] because the "disable while typing" doesnt seem to work for me and my touchpad is REALLY annoying me :P [02:15] xXEMO111Xx, hey, guess what? [02:15] xXEMO111Xx: it does NOT read id3 tags and such. [02:15] skrite_,how do I do that? [02:15] Visual Effects are switched off or set to none no matter if I change the setting. It won't stick. Every startup same thing. Ubuntu 10.04... how can I make it permanent? [02:15] wolfgang99.. [02:16] Why can't I keep dhcp3 from putting dns servers in my resolv.conf? this is my dhclient.conf: request subnet-mask, broadcast-address, routers [02:16] xXEMO111Xx: so your question is convoluted at best. [02:16] cbleslie, Nah, I like my PS3 Media Server :) [02:16] Rotham: Do you have a "trackpoint"? [02:16] *sigh*, this is just confusing., I am sorry, bot and non bot. [02:16] RogerBoogie: uninstall compiz? [02:16] MooshiMuushi, well, first, try to use the nm-applet to set up your network for that computer [02:16] Rotham, o no [02:16] xXEMO111Xx: start with wikipedia article on cddb [02:16] QUIT [02:16] MooshiMuushi: I would highly reccomend it. You just have to edit 2 lines of code for flawless connectivity. [02:16] MooshiMuushi, i have disabled it before, and used network/interfaces, but it is not the handiest way [02:16] <|Anthony|> is there a multiseat function native to ubuntu? [02:16] tank8465, u saying uninstall then reinstall? [02:16] xXEMO111Xx: you can encode the files with tags if format support them (e.g. mp3, ogg) [02:16] pentium3 : no a touchpad [02:17] bye bye [02:17] xXEMO111Xx: but the two are not related in any way. [02:17] cbleslie, Ok then. Ill check it out later. [02:17] MooshiMuushi, also, i don't really know how to disable it any easier than removing it [02:17] where can i find games for ubuntu.. got nothing clear with google [02:17] MooshiMuushi: Good times. [02:17] I'll check it and let ya know... thnks [02:17] Rotham: k sorry cant help, if you had one I would suggest going into the CMOS and disable the touchpad and get used to the trackpoint. [02:17] skrite_, Well, we can always re-download it :) [02:17] !games | Squarism [02:17] Squarism: Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php [02:17] xXEMO111Xx: if you can clarify what you are trying to do, or what your intent is, you may get more useful answers. [02:17] on another subject.. [02:17] rogerboogie: no, outright get rid of. your WM will fallback to metacity, which is fullfeatured and minimal on the effects [02:18] sure [02:18] MooshiMuushi, sure [02:18] skrite_, So how do I open up the nm-manager? [02:18] skrite_, Applet. [02:18] ic. alright thank you tank8465 [02:18] Pentium3: I have a backup mouse I use most of the time... As I can set it up so a terminal command can turn the touchpad on if I need it then ill be fine... I have no clue what the Cmos is tho :P [02:18] MooshiMuushi, you also may need a couple more lines in what you have posted. [02:18] Squarism: check out http://www.playdeb.net/ [02:18] <_schism_> skrite, karmic [02:19] skrite_, Oh? Ok then. [02:19] MooshiMuushi, what desktop are you on? [02:19] I just recently got a docking port for my latitude and the first handfull of times I tried to boot it freaked out on me in various ways, it works now but won't play through the docks audio ports to my stereo, it just keeps coming fro the pc's speakers. [02:19] skrite_, Gnome. [02:19] And also is the freaking out normmal? [02:19] blakkheim, cbleslie : thanx [02:20] ok, Lucid? [02:20] Why can't I keep dhcp3 from putting dns servers in my resolv.conf? this is my dhclient.conf: request subnet-mask, broadcast-address, routers [02:20] Rotham: the CMOS is the setup for the BIOS, it changes how the system acts and is represented to the OS. [02:21] skrite_, Yep. [02:21] ahh gotcha.. that probably wouldnt work for me then :P [02:21] skrite_, Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid). [02:21] i don't have efi issues [02:21] MooshiMuushi, ok, do this first, go into your preferences [02:21] skrite_, Yep. [02:21] hmm thunderbird refuses to import my certificate [02:21] saying it cant be verified [02:21] skrite_, Network Connections? [02:22] or may have expired or been revoked [02:22] I am having problems with my new docking station, if I could get help I would be very grateful. [02:22] what the hell [02:22] MooshiMuushi, preferences => startup applications and uncheck the network manager [02:22] etherealite: you want to preserve what you have in resolv.conf? [02:22] my main PC has Windows XP, my laptop has Xubuntu. How can I access the files on my XP desktop from my Xubuntu laptop over the wireless network? [02:22] skrite_, Done. [02:23] Chaiwalla: xubuntu is not ubuntu [02:23] ok, logout and back in [02:23] I know [02:23] Chaiwalla: you can use smb or ftp or http [02:23] etherealite: have you read manpage for dhclient.conf? [02:23] skrite_, I might not get internet... [02:23] whats smb [02:23] ubottu keeps saying it's not inteligent, and whenever I re-phrase my question to 'why is', it sends an edit request and compliments my eye for detail. [02:23] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [02:23] Chaiwalla: samba [02:24] xXEMO111Xx: you seem to want to fight bots. are you still working on the cd issue? [02:24] Chaiwalla: smb is a dagerous thing which i removed at the beginning [02:24] MooshiMuushi, right, you might have to turn it back on to get internet, we want to see if your network device is ok with your config file in /etc/network/interfaces [02:24] nogo: huh? [02:24] hello, someone could use Skype for voice calls, and to be heard? [02:24] MooshiMuushi, wait [02:24] yes and for this question, it is apparent I need a human. [02:24] Mohero, still here? [02:24] I am having problems with my new docking station, if I could get help I would be very grateful. [02:24] nogo: why is smb dangerous? [02:24] skrite_, Hm? [02:24] MooshiMuushi, still here? [02:25] skrite_, Right here. [02:25] have you tried setting a static ip with the network manager? [02:25] any suggestions for app similar to mklivecd or mylivecd in Ubuntu? [02:25] xXEMO111Xx: you are trying to relate two things which are not related. cddb has nothing to do with audio file format. [02:25] can anyone help me on getting internet explorer? [02:25] xXEMO111Xx: so what are you actually trying to do? [02:25] any humans out there?!? [02:25] !windows | wolfgang99 [02:25] wolfgang99: For discussion on Microsoft software, or help with same, please visit ##windows. See http://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/1 http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm and /msg ubottu equivalents [02:25] xXEMO111Xx: there are trolls apparently. [02:25] skrite_, What do you mean by "tried setting a static ip with the network manager"? [02:26] xXEMO111Xx: I am going to ask you to stop asking ubottu questions, it's a bot it won't answer you. I am also going to ask that if you actually want help then answer bobstro because he seems to want to help. [02:26] MooshiMuushi, well, in your forum post, you have a couple of lines that would configure your computer to have a static ip 192.168.1.10 [02:26] MooshiMuushi, right? [02:26] I will now attempt to make my question more 'robot friendly'. okay. [02:27] xXEMO111Xx: we'll settle for coherent, but yes please :) [02:27] bobstro Yes I've poured over it and yet somethingas simple as what I'm trying to do isn't working [02:27] skrite_, My computer has a static IP address o 192.168.1.9 [02:27] skrite_, of* [02:27] etherealite: are you trying to preserve settings, or just keep them from being added? [02:27] hi. i got a problem. after Windows Vista Updater downloaded a set of new updates I restarted my laptop like usual. When I restart I am presented with the option to boot from Ubuntu 10.04 and also Windows Recovery Mode which gets me back into Vista. Since the updates were downlaoded I no longer see the Windows Recovery Mode boot option. How come this happened? [02:27] I am having problems with my new docking station, if I could get help I would be very grateful. [02:28] skrite_, [NOTE] [02:28] The PS3's IP Address is 192.168.1.10 [02:28] THE PC's IP Address is 192.168.1.9 [02:28] bobstro I want to use 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 as my name servers not what dhcp gives me. [02:28] etherealite: did you try prepend? or supersede? [02:28] ok, I uninstalled compiz but now unable to change visual settings ( I did change setting metacity to something else while trying to get the look of gnome-shell working but forgot where to go to make change) [02:28] siddhion: so, you can't log into Vista anymore? [02:29] etherealite: also, is resolvconf package installed? [02:29] MooshiMuushi, so how did you set the static ip up? [02:29] bobstro they'll prepbend for like a few hours then go to the bottom of the list. [02:29] bobstro, please pm me. [02:29] I should also mention that I have the option to enter command line mode with GRUB. I guess that is the only way to solve this but I have no idea how. [02:29] bobstro resolvconf is not installed. [02:29] Collosi right. there is no Windows Recovery Mode option which was the way I always got back to Vista [02:30] etherealite: ok. it can change the game [02:30] siddhion: you can boot up ubuntu and configure your grub with the right settings [02:30] bobstro well can it change the game for the better? Its fccsking ridiculuous that this is so hard. [02:30] Well i want to dual boot vista/ubuntu. I have backed everything up and got a live cd. I defragged windows last night but i still cant shrink the vista partition much yet i have ~50gb free space. I have been told i can do the shrink for the ubuntu partition within the installer on the cd. Is this how i should do it? [02:30] MooshiMuushi, ok, i want you to post the output of cat /etc/network/interfaces and sudo ifconfig dont paste here use this service http://pastebin.com/ [02:30] skrite_, I setted the PS3's ip address as 192.168.1.10. I then setted up the PC's (wired) ip adddress as 192.168.1.10. I then set up the wireless to gets its own ip address. [02:31] is there a way I can map a keyboard shortcut to cycle between keyboard layouts?

[02:31] collosi Ok I know how to get into GRUB. I just do not know what commands to type in. Any ideas? [02:31] etherealite: yeah, i do agree to a point. the information is buried. and the answer depends on what's breaking it. [02:31] hi there [02:31] i need a video converter for my ubuntu [02:31] etherealite: i found resolvconf more annoying to be honest. [02:31] :D [02:31] I am running from a flash drive /dev/sdb1 - live session - how do I write to it, it won't let me mount it [02:32] mp4ize for a video converter [02:32] RogerBoogie, thanks :) [02:32] siddhion: what version of grub do you have? [02:32] skrite_, http://paste.ubuntu.com/505431/ [02:32] siddhion: what ubuntu version are you running? [02:32] RogerBoogie, where can i get this "mp4ize" [02:33] AkhlD: what kind of video do you want to convert? [02:33] skrite_, Ethernet cable not connected. [02:33] i need to convert an avi file to mtv format [02:33] google it... gives good instructions. I cant right now... dont have the minimize, close buttons & limited to actions [02:33] AkhlD, AVIdemux [02:33] MooshiMuushi, and you are trying to get the wireless to work? [02:33] ok MooshiMuushi :) [02:34] AkhlD, sudo apt-get install avidemux [02:34] collosi I have Ubuntu 10.04. I am not sure what version of GRUB I have. [02:34] MooshiMuushi, yeah im installin it frm the synaptic package manager [02:34] siddhion: you will have to edit your /etc/default/grub file === elky` is now known as elky [02:35] collosi ok. I will access that file now. What should I type into it? [02:35] skrite_, Yes, but whenever I restart the computer with the settings that my friend gave me. The network manager applet will go away. Therefore , leaving me with no wireless internet :) [02:35] !grub2 [02:35] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Ubuntu 9.10. For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [02:35] MooshiMuushi, according to what you posted, you have an ip address on the wireless. try to ping the router. ping -c 3 192.168.1.1 [02:35] MooshiMuushi, AH i see [02:35] sorry [02:35] siddhion: if you are confused try installing startupmanager -- sudo apt-get install startupmanager [02:36] MooshiMuushi, so you want the wireless to work when you restart the computer? [02:36] MooshiMuushi, it says "W: Failed to fetch http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/a/avidemux/libavidemux0_2.5.2-0ubuntu3_i386.deb" [02:36] skrite_, Correct! [02:36] MooshiMuushi, ok, give me a second [02:36] AkhlD, Then use the code I gave you in teminal. [02:36] skrite_, Ok. [02:37] MooshiMuushi, ok :) [02:37] collosi ok [02:37] Hi, i'm trying to chmod 777 /mnt/sdb1/ but i really cant see it take effect . Any suggestions? [02:37] MooshiMuushi, it says the same error [02:38] AkhlD, Odd! Give me a second. [02:38] MooshiMuushi, do you need the wireless to be a static ip address? [02:38] the drive is drwxrwx--- 7 root floppy 32768 1970-01-01 00:00 sdb1 [02:38] MooshiMuushi, take your time :) [02:38] AkhlD: do 'sudo apt-get update' and try again [02:38] k [02:38] skrite_, Well, It can be changed, but I just hope it connects to the router. [02:39] sybariten: and what filesystem is on the drive? [02:39] Well i want to dual boot vista/ubuntu. I have backed everything up and got a live cd. I defragged windows last night but i still cant shrink the vista partition much yet i have ~50gb free space. I have been told i can do the shrink for the ubuntu partition within the installer on the cd. Is this how i should do it? Yes no? [02:39] Btw am nub [02:39] Dr_Willis: AFA i can see, its vfat [02:39] siddhion: take a look at this article it could help http://linuxers.org/howto/how-configure-grub2-ubuntu-910 [02:39] AkhlD, http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/i386/avidemux/download [02:40] collosi I just started 'startupmanager' and got this message 'An error occurred while loading or saving configuration information for startupmanager. Some of your configuration settings may not work properly.' [02:40] CameronH: 50 GB should be plenty for Ubuntu [02:40] ok MooshiMuushi [02:40] The webpage at http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/i386/avidemux/download might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address. [02:40] :-/ [02:40] Hi all... I'm restoring my server after having to rebuild my RAID array... I was wondering if anyone could direct me to information for ensuring that GRUB2 will recognize my new mdadm RAID array as well as what I need to do to update mdadm on the system. [02:40] it works now hehe [02:40] chrissharp123: yes thanks, im just wondering if thats how i should go about doing it [02:40] Dr_Willis: /dev/sdb1 1 60800 488375968+ c W95 FAT32 (LBA) [02:40] MooshiMuushi: does avidemux support that file type? [02:41] mkquist_, Avi? Yes! Of course! [02:41] so ... how is everybody liking 10.10 rc so far? [02:41] MooshiMuushi, ok. we are going to try something. put this in /etc/network/interfaces http://paste.ubuntu.com/505438/ leave the network manager disabled in startup apps and restart ( i think only log out and back in) [02:41] MooshiMuushi: lol... nice [02:41] sybariten: you set the permissions and ownership of vfat/ntfs when you mount them. Nor afterwards. [02:41] sybariten: You need the proper uid/gid/umask/dmask options when mounting. [02:41] CameronH: yes - you should be able to shrink it more with the installer or with gparted, which should be a program included on the live CD [02:41] Dr_Willis: Eh, hm!! [02:42] ei guys === ZachK_ is now known as zkriesse [02:42] Dr_Willis: might it be that i'm trying to chmod now, afterwards then? Should i unmount and do the 777 first? [02:42] sybariten: the ntfs-config tool can tweak the defaults also. for vfat and ntfs [02:42] MooshiMuushi, it says "Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: libartsc0 (>= 1.5.2-0)" [02:42] okay [02:42] ok will try [02:42] sybariten: No.... you SET it WHEN you mount.. [02:42] collosi here is the whole error http://pastie.org/1197614 [02:42] sybariten: you dont chmod/chown ntfs/vfat at all [02:42] CameronH: just know that it might write over some Vista files if you do it, but you can repair Vista with the Vista install/recovery CD [02:42] im trying to play a bluray using mplayer (terminal).. it plays the audio but the video doesnt show up.. i have gnome mplayer installed too [02:42] skrite_, Give me a second. [02:42] chrissharp123 ohok [02:43] !blueray [02:43] Attention makers of dhcp3 you can go to hell. [02:43] !bluray [02:43] siddhion: did you try running it with sudo [02:43] Ive never had a Blueray to even try on linux, or anywhere else :) [02:43] Dr_Willis: ok, but... wait.. the mount point i make, isnt on vfat i think [02:43] Dr_Willis: you can download a demo torrent made by x264 guys [02:43] sybariten: mount point's permissions dont matter.. they are ignired once you actually mount somthing to it. [02:43] siddhion: open a terminal and type this #sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda [02:44] Dr_Willis: ah! i see ... merci [02:44] siddhion: can you see where your windows partion is located? [02:44] which package has the calc from applications/accessories [02:44] ?

[02:47] siddhion: follow these instructions http://erickoo.wordpress.com/2009/06/14/how-to-add-vista-partition-to-grub-2-ubuntu-9-10-karmic-koala/ [02:47] hanasaki: as far as I know, it comes with ubuntu-desktop [02:47] collosi ok I got siddhion@siddhion-laptop:~$ sudo chmod a+x /etc/grub.d/11_Windows [02:47] chmod: cannot access `/etc/grub.d/11_Windows': No such file or directory [02:47] hanasaki: it's packaged with GNOME [02:48] i cant import a privately signed certificate [02:48] it refuses to import [02:48] what the heck, isnt there a way to override? [02:48] siddhion: Im sorry I gave you the wrong command this is the correct one: http://erickoo.wordpress.com/2009/06/14/how-to-add-vista-partition-to-grub-2-ubuntu-9-10-karmic-koala/ [02:49] siddhion: # sudo nano /etc/grub.d/11_Windows [02:49] skrite_, Nope :D [02:49] skrite_, Still didn't connect to the internet. [02:50] Dr_Willis: i used this page now - have to admit that i just sloppily googled for this, without trying to understand all details. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions ctrl-f "solid example". It didnt give any better results, but do you think its a good starting point? [02:50] i mean, do i want to tweak this line [02:50] skrite_, Skrite? [02:50] siddhion: remember that your partition is located in /dev/sda2 and not /dev/sda [02:50] /dev/sda1 [02:50] collosi ok. [02:51] haven't updated my box for a bit. it's running 9.10. trying to get mythfrontend and pulseaudio to work together [02:51] collosi but why do I need to worry about that? [02:52] or have pulse get out of the way gracefully [02:52] skrite_, Are you there? [02:53] collosi also do I need to include the EOF in there? [02:53] siddhion: because you need to configure your "set root=" correctly [02:53] hi there guys === w1n5ton is now known as w1n5ton5 [02:53] i just installed xchat for the hell of it [02:53] I'm looking for a game that used to be included with previous versions of Ubuntu. It's basically a screen full of balls of different color and the player selects groups of balls of the same color which subsequently disappear. [02:53] i am using ircII [02:53] im trippin bad on mushies [02:53] siddhion: I would, even though it just stands for end of file [02:53] http://apcmag.com/how_to_dual_boot_linux_and_windows_xp_linux_installed_first.htm?page=1 [02:53] skrite_, ??? [02:54] can't open '/sys/class/hwmon/hwmon0/temp2_input' Why hwmon entries change after a restart? [02:54] Is this guide up to date? [02:54] siddhion: it's obvious that is the end of file [02:54] Will it work with 10.04? [02:54] send [02:54] collosi right i think i should leave it [02:54] help [02:55] siddhion: make sure you have "set root=(hd0,2) [02:55] skrite_, Skrite. Are you there?!?! [02:55] collosi I am getting confused on the part where he talks about GRUB and changing that line if you have GRUB 2. [02:55] siddhion: sorry, Im not to familiar with grub2 and it is alot different from the original grub [02:56] collosi but how do I check what version of grub I have? [02:56] skrite, Are you there? [02:57] siddhion: I believe grub2 comes installed by default on ubuntu 10.04 [02:57] siddhion: you have grub2 [02:57] collosi hmm ok. it is weird because when I type grub into Terminal it says The program 'grub' is currently not installed. [02:58] nvm [02:58] I found a guide [02:58] collosi how is that even possible. [02:58] collosi should I install Grub? [02:58] is there a way to install packages as a non-root user? I want to do dev work that requires a bunch of libraries, and although I could technically download each one individually and compile them to ~/local, it seems like apt-get should have something for this... [02:59] siddhion: huh? how can you not have grub? did you change to lilo or something? [02:59] MooshiMuushi, here, sorry [02:59] MooshiMuushi, stepped out a bit, how'd it go? [02:59] collosi lilo? I doubt it. I have no idea how this happened. [02:59] skrite_, Not good at all :D [03:00] hell, sorry [03:00] ok... [03:00] siddhion: ok, did create the 11_windows file already? [03:00] 'sudo update-grub' should install grub if its on the system... [03:00] collosi I guess lilo is another way to load ubuntu. [03:00] skrite_, I didn't connect to the internet. [03:00] LILO i dont think works very well with ubuntu these days. [03:00] MooshiMuushi, ok, checking [03:00] skrite_, Just ot let you know, the ethernet cable is not connected. [03:00] siddhion: I seriously doubt you are using lilo, since grub2 is the default boot loader in ubunut 10.04 [03:00] collosi yes it is created but I still dont know what to do with that one line [03:00] skrite_, to* [03:01] siddhion: once you create that file type this # sudo nano /etc/grub.d/11_Windows [03:01] siddion: oops i meant this # sudo chmod a+x /etc/grub.d/11_Windows [03:01] MooshiMuushi, ok [03:01] im having another issue: after unmouting ISO from loop Nautilus still shows a ISO Drive. it only disappears if I restart "Error mounting: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0" [03:01] how can i install flash cs3 in ubuntu [03:02] anyone pls help me [03:02] collosi lost you. can you retype last line [03:02] siddhion: your windows is located in /dev/sda2, so your line will look like this root=(hd0,2) [03:02] <_schism_> skrite, could my ubuntone issue be that I am on 9.10 instead of 10.04? [03:03] siddhion: after the 11_windows file is created and you set your root like I stated above, you will type in the following command # sudo chmod a+x /etc/grub.d/11_Windows [03:03] uLinux: theres some 'archive mounter' tool ive seen on my Right click menus that automate the mounting of ISO files. Been using that lately [03:04] uLinux: that error seems to say you are trying to Mount it.. not unmount it. [03:04] MooshiMuushi, is your gateway 192.168.1.1 ? [03:04] Dr_Willis: yeah but it doesnt go away [03:04] Dr_Willis: ill take a screenshot [03:05] collosi ok I just entered 'sudo chmod a+x /etc/grub.d/11_Windows' [03:05] skrite_, Ues in general. No for setting. [03:05] collosi so next I go 'sudo update-grub'? [03:06] siddhion: yes [03:06] Hi, i just installed mythwebtv but not sure on how to use it. [03:06] now it's gone [03:06] MooshiMuushi, what do you get if you do this ping -c 3 192.168.1.1 ? [03:06] collosi looks good, it just said it found Windows Recovery Environment (loader) [03:06] siddhion: Also, remember if you copied the exact same lines as the site, your entry in grub will state "Windows 7" [03:07] !paste [03:07] 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. [03:07] collosi right on. thanks for the heads up [03:07] siddhion: if you change the the menuentry to "Vista" and run the #sudo update-grub again it will change this for you [03:07] skrite, http://paste.ubuntu.com/505447/ [03:07] siddhion: reboot and hopefully all goes well [03:07] collosi ok cool so do i need to do 'sudo reboot' ? [03:08] siddhion: if you'd like, or you can just reboot from the menu, either way will work [03:08] Anyone else having trouble with Broadcom 4318 wireless and 10.10 RC? My connection keeps dropping. [03:08] any idea's on how to fix that?

[03:10] _schism_, nope. [03:10] skrite_, Ok. [03:11] <_schism_> edbian, thank you sir. least I have people here to save me if I fry something ;) === w1n5ton is now known as w1n5ton5 [03:12] skrite_, Do I paste this over the "auto lo" [03:12] ? [03:12] skrite_, ? [03:12] Can someone help me? [03:12] _schism_, You won't fry anything :) [03:12] w1n5ton5, Don't ask, say it. Someone will help. === Dank_ is now known as Endorphine [03:13] Let's say I copy all the files off a drive [03:13] <_schism_> edbian, well I took my media machine from 9.04 to 10.04 and ended up having to wipe it and reinstall. hopefully this one wont be that painful.... [03:13] Onto an identical drive [03:13] would it boot and be the same as the original? [03:13] <_schism_> edbian, and to think all this just to give ubuntu some money from ubuntuone music :) [03:13] skrite_, Do I paste this over "auto lo"? [03:13] w1n5ton5: to do that I would suggest imaging the disk or partition of the system you are copying [03:14] how do I image it? [03:14] _schism_, Don't you hate it when that happens? If it's any consolation, it is almost never so far gone that you have to re-install. The problem is not with the system it's with the expertise of the user. [03:14] partimage [03:14] w1n5ton: yes, imaging would be the best [03:14] sudo partimage? [03:14] fuck this, i'm going back to apache. [03:14] MooshiMuushi, no, leave the auto lo [03:14] I believe you would have to download it [03:14] also leave the loopback liine [03:14] so sudo aptitude install partimage [03:14] got it [03:15] thanks [03:15] actually, you'll have to do it from a livecd or another system, as you cannot do it while booted into the drive [03:15] np [03:15] lol okay [03:15] <_schism_> edbian, I know its me and my noobness. for my media machine I was leaving to go out of town for a week so I had to go fast and not able to dig deep and learn :( [03:15] skrite_, Private dialog. [03:15] MooshiMuushi, the fact that you could get a response on 192.168.1.1 means it is likely your router [03:15] _schism_, Well if you have any problems you know where to ask! [03:16] <_schism_> edbian, and you dont know how good that makes me feel to leave windoze behind :) [03:16] skrite_, Why am I changing my IP address. [03:16] ? === Morphine_ is now known as Endorphine [03:17] to bad there aint not much of a gaming scene on linux [03:17] Evening all. [03:17] <_schism_> edbian, is it better to use the gui thingie for a dist upgrade or aptitude? [03:17] _schism_, makes no difference. [03:18] MooshiMuushi, each of your network interfaces have an ip address, we are leaving the wired one the number it is, [03:18] <_schism_> edbian, is one faster? [03:19] _schism_, No. You might learn more from using aptitude? [03:20] <_schism_> edbian, ok I actualy like aptitude better. ncurses and the like just seem to click with me. [03:20] _schism_, excellent :) [03:20] <_schism_> edbian, c64 ftw ;) [03:21] skrite_, ? [03:22] hello, i just intalled BT4 and the grub got damaged, now i cant start ubuntu nor BT4, i will completly format my HD to install ubuntu, how can i do this? [03:22] skrite_, ?

[03:25] mamece2: just install bt4 over windows [03:25] do u think that will work? first BT4 and then ubuntu? [03:25] hey i accidentlly removed the audio control from my top toolbar and cant find it to put it back. can someone help [03:25] they have different kernel version [03:26] mamece2: do you want to keep your current installation of ubuntu? [03:26] mamece2: You can have both installed no problem, you can even share the swap I believe if you so desire [03:27] collosi i wanted to shrink windows partition and augment the ubuntu one [03:27] skrite_, You there? [03:27] mamece2: I though you wanted to only have bt4 and ubuntu? [03:27] anyone here use sound juicer [03:28] mamece2: you want to resize your NTFS partions and increase your linux one correct? [03:28] collosi, is taht possible? [03:29] mamece2: yes. you could use gparted or gnu parted. [03:29] Hello [03:29] or fdisk if you so desired [03:29] mamece2: sure, but I dont know how safe it is, I havent resized a windows partion in many years [03:29] When will Ubuntu 10 be released? [03:29] I recently resized a windows partition [03:29] i want to edit the track titles i cant in soundjuicer [03:29] mamece2: use gparted [03:29] the only issue you have is possibly messing up grub [03:29] MooshiMuushi, here [03:30] skrite_, Welcome Back. [03:30] gparted from live cd doesnt work [03:30] MooshiMuushi, what did yu get [03:30] The counter of the site doesn't show how much time remains... [03:30] mamece2: then install it on ubuntu [03:30] At least in my case... [03:30] mamece2: then try parted in a terminal from a livecd [03:30] mamece2: you do have a dual boot already right? [03:31] i booted an ubuntu live cd, they start gparted and i cant unmount nor resize, the option is shaded, dont work [03:31] skrite_, When I entered in the code for the network thingy. The terminal said that the file wasn't located. [03:31] rite know i have grub 1.5 i cannot start unbuntu (3 kernel) nor bt4 :( [03:31] skrite_, When I disabled the Network Manager and restarted the computer with the code you gave me. It didn't connect to the internet. [03:32] skrite_, Am I doing something wrong o.o? [03:32] you may wish to resize the ntfs drive and reinstall ubuntu [03:32] on the newly resized partition. [03:32] susanowo i cant resize the ntfs drive [03:32] not even from inside windows? [03:32] you should not have to restart the computer, just the network with the sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [03:32] what kind of files do ubuntu and bt4 needs? i will start from scratch [03:33] mamece2: why can't you mount the partition? [03:33] ola [03:33] download gparted live cd, restart the computer and insert the disc in. From there you can do whatever you want. Hit apply and your done. [03:33] mamece2: are you just trying gparted to umount it? have you tried sudo umount? [03:33] Resizing the harddrive that is. [03:33] MooshiMuushi, if you restart the network again, try to ping the router again ping -c 3 192.168.1.1 [03:34] susanowo i have not tryed sudo unmount [03:36] Does anybody know when Ubuntu 10 will be released?

[03:45] Flyingwatermelon, enter that in to the terminal. [03:45] Ok [03:45] 42! === nth is now known as n00gie [03:45] gnubuntu, Is not the meaning of life. [03:45] I assume next Sunday will be released the full operating version, without bugs... Am I right? [03:46] Flyingwatermelon: have you tried #sudo apt-get install thunderbird [03:46] guys in the bt4 channel are such a jerks.. no offense [03:46] Or should I say "without known bugs"? [03:46] what the best file system for ubuntu/bt4 ? [03:46] collosi, yes [03:46] Celtibero, Are you talking about Ubuntu 10.10?

[03:48] Flyingwatermelon, My computer installed it just fine. [03:48] Flyingwatermelon: are you updating? [03:48] skrite_, You there? [03:49] Flyingwatermelon: make sure update manager and the software center are running [03:49] Heard about it. Never used it. PLayonLinux. [03:49] !xmbc [03:49] Flyingwatermelon: *are not running [03:49] !xbmc [03:49] And another question... Why does the Ubuntu site suggest me to download a 32bit operating system, instead of a 64bit one? My processor is 64bit capable... I don't really understand this... [03:50] collosi, i am updating that must be the problem then MooshiMuushi [03:50] quick question... if i'm going to transfer music files from nautilus to my iphone 4, in which folder should i transer them to? [03:50] Could someone else confirm a bug with prboom on i386? According to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/prboom/+bug/375498 it should be fixed, but on i386 I'm getting the Signal 8 shortly after starting the game (on my 64bit box, no such issue - as stated in bug; also the Debian package works fine - also as stated in bug) [03:50] MooshiMuushi Which Ubuntu version are you currently operating with? [03:50] Celtibero, Ultimate Edition Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid). [03:51] what do i have to do to be able to make this work: echo 'foo' | mail -s 'test' infid@gmail.com ? [03:51] what file system do u use? ext4 or reiiserfs? [03:51] Flyingwatermelon: Yup, just wait and install via terminal or software center [03:51] skrite_, Are you there? === sailerboy is now known as zz_sailerboy [03:51] MooshiMuushi Why do they suggest me to download and install a 32bit Ubuntu, instead of a 64bit one? [03:52] infid: you writing a script? [03:52] MooshiMuushi That's silly, since my processor is 64bit capable, don't you think so? [03:52] Hi, does anyone know if there is away to assign a particular font with a specific keyboard layout. [03:53] Celtibero, A 32bit Ubuntu can only run on maximum of 4GBs of ram. Unlike the 64bit, where it can run on more then 4GBs of ram. [03:53] Celtibero: I am only assuming this, but maybe because the x386 is more stable [03:53] Celtibero, all PC support 32bit, while older machine doesn't support 64bit [03:53] collosi: yeah [03:53] My Pc does support 64bit [03:53] infid: start with #!/bin/bash at the top [03:54] Which one should I catch? === mulhergorila is now known as Ferrabras [03:54] Celtibero, 64bit operating system can't run as much programs as a 32bit. [03:54] MooshiMuushi, yea but generally it is a good idea to use 64bit on machine with 1GB ram or more [03:54] collosi: well thats not what i mean. i mean how do i enable the sending of mail from the command line. do i have to set up outgoing smtp somehow or what [03:54] MooshiMuushi, such as?.. [03:54] MooshiMuushi You are right, I'm currently running Ubuntu Jaunty 64bit and many applications simply don't work... [03:54] icarus-c, Nope, 32bit operating system is more compatible with more programs the a 64bit. [03:55] Celtibero, really :-o what app are they [03:55] what i know is 32bit OS can never run 64bit program at all [03:55] infid: take a look at this, it might help http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=220653 [03:55] icarus-c, Back in windows, it couldn;t run some system setups and other recommended programs. [03:55] i have to install two distros, who would u install first? the one with the lowest kernel or the one with the higher ine? [03:55] i have to install two distros, who would u install first? the one with the lowest kernel or the one with the higher one? [03:55] Anyone is good with fonts and keyboard layouts?! I want to make a particular font to be the default font for a specific keyboard layout. Is that even possible?! [03:55] * icarus-c really wanna know what 32bit app doesn't work on 64bit OS (Linux) [03:56] icarus-c That's not the point actually. In fact, I just can't find 64bit versions of many applications. [03:56] icarus-c And the 32bit ones don't work, of course. [03:56] Celtibero, well but they usually work fine even proprietary things like 32bit picasa and 32bit skype [03:56] Trying out Lubuntu on a P4 with 512MB. Works great!!!!! [03:56] and 32bit flash player even [03:56] and 32bit doom 3 , quake4 :P [03:57] icarus-c Yes, those games may work. [03:57] Celtibero, so what doesn't work in your experience? [03:58] icarus-c, doom3 and quake4 run fine on 64bit === Hu|K is now known as DEFSMAC [03:58] icarus-c For example, the WBFS formatter. [03:58] icarus-c It just doesn't exist on its 64 bit version. [03:58] icarus-c, I can't remember anymore. Just have a google and read :) [03:58] I am looking to buy a webcam, any reccomendations on something that works best in terms of compatibility with Ubuntu ? [03:58] I am tryign to compile gcc under ubuntu 10.04.1 and it is failing the "make check" step... can anybody help? details - http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=9922194&postcount=10 [03:58] Celtibero, it involves a kernel space driver ? [03:59] icarus-c, But there was one that I can still remember. My system device programs. [03:59] icarus-c, oh sorry - you where saying they do work. my bad [03:59] icarus-c I'm not really sure... [03:59] icarus-c But I suppose it does... [03:59] ZykoticK9, Haha. [03:59] icarus-c Playonlinux doesn't work either... [03:59] Celtibero, um... is it wbfs manager that you were talking about? isn't it windows program [03:59] infid: you still there? [04:00] icarus-c Yes, but there's a Linux version. [04:00] Celtibero, i see.. === _Mash is now known as MashPotato [04:00] skrite_, You there? [04:00] yea usually when a proprietary app that involve kernel space stuff like driver, and it doesn't ship a 64bit version, it won't work on 64bit :P [04:00] icarus-c It's called Wiithon [04:00] but i haven't came across any of that case yet [04:01] icarus-c Sorry, I misnamed it. Is this word correct? (Misnamed) [04:01] i don't know. i don;t own a wii :( [04:01] Celtibero, Misspelt? [04:01] For some reason Firefox is really slow to start loading a page. The status bar shows "Looking up [doman]..." for a few seconds before the page actually starts to load. What could be causing this? [04:02] here [04:02] MooshiMuushi Thank you very much. Excuse me for my english. [04:02] I try my best here, though. [04:02] :) [04:02] duolos, Try having a clean-up :) [04:02] duolos, this is a fresh install of linux, actually ;) [04:02] Celtibero, No problemos :) Here to help :D [04:02] MooshiMuushi, rather. [04:03] is there any way to use the debian unstable repos with etch (10.4) ubuntu? [04:03] duolos, Ara! Really? Hmm, then I have on idea :D Sorry. [04:03] duolos, maybe slow DNS query [04:03] Can anyone help out here? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1587558 [04:04] duolos, or maybe firefox is contacting google to check for known malicious website, you could disable this function [04:04] icarus-c, how would I determine that? I'm not sure if they're using custom proxies/dns servers in this distro [04:04] So, how does Ubuntu 10.10 sound work? Is it easy to configure for sound recording? [04:04] icarus-c, okay, I'll check that real quick [04:04] I'm a musician and I need to record guitars... [04:04] duolos, well, check what dns server you are using in connection information. and you try to benchmark it. [04:04] I'm doing it already in Ubuntu Jaunty... [04:05] duolos, you could do simple test like "dig google.com" or with a DNS benchmark program like namebench [04:05] i added a ".conf" file in /etc folder to "enable" hibernate function in ubuntu 10.04 now i don't remember what the files name was any ideas? [04:05] i have sony vaio fw [04:05] But I had problems with pulseaudio in the past, I couldn't record anything with Ubuntu Karmic, so I had to downgrade to Jaunty. [04:06] is there any way to use the debian unstable repos with etch (10.4) ubuntu? [04:06] hmm, icarus-c dig showed google.com at 17ms [04:06] duolos, try to dig some other site, like those you haven't visited recently (last few hours) [04:06] recent queries are probably cached [04:06] by router === zz_sailerboy is now known as sailerboy [04:06] Can anyone help out? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1587558 [04:07] icarus-c, all under 20ms [04:07] :-/ [04:07] duolos, and you may want to go firefox preferences->Security -> disable "block reported attack site" and "block reported web forgeries" [04:08] duolos, those 2 firefox functions would query google everytime you access a website [04:08] MooshiMuushi: can you try giving your wireless interface a separate static ip than the eth0 [04:08] duolos, and after you disable those functions, you may want to remove "urlclassifier3.sqlite" file in your firefox profile folder too [04:08] collosi, How do I do that collosi? [04:09] icarus-c, okay, I already disabled those two functions (I'm smart enough not to need them lol). [04:09] Then, do you think I should wait for more 64bit applications to be made or download the 32bit version? [04:10] MooshiMuushi: what is your wireless interface, #iwconfig [04:10] Celtibero, if you use any of those app that only work for 32bit, go 32bit, 64bit otherwise [04:10] collosi, wlan0 [04:10] Celtibero, 32bit generally is not efficient when you have 1GB ram or more [04:10] icarus-c I have 2GB. [04:10] hi. I have the error mensaje: "... error while loading shared libraries: libg2c.so.0 ... " .. how can I fix this? [04:11] MooshiMuushi: now just set your wlan0 to static Ip 192.168.1.11 [04:11] MooshiMuushi: using either /etc/network/interfaces or the network manager [04:11] icarus-c, nope. For example, heading to facebook.com, the status showed "Looking up facebook.com" for at least 7 seconds before it started to load. [04:11] Celtibero, and since ubuntu's 32bit version is built for i386, therefore the 64bit version is usually faster [04:11] plus SSE instructions [04:11] celtiburo, but if they have less than 4 gb of memory , 32 bit is still better because it has more software support [04:11] icarus-c, this happens for every link I click on as well. === larry is now known as Eighteens [04:12] collosi, 192.168.1.9 is my Ethernet ip address. My Wireless is 192.168.1.4 [04:12] voss749 That's what I mean... [04:12] voss749, you need kernel with highmem support with 1GB or more. that adds overhead already [04:12] icarus-c, hmm, this Firefox came preloaded with several extensions. I'll just try disabling them and see if one of them is causing it. [04:12] Is there a way I can change eth1 to eth0 and etc? Where can I find info? [04:13] collosi, Sorry, forgot to add that in the thread. Edited just then. [04:13] MooshiMuushi: ok, then set that as your static. you can add the lines in the /etc/network/intefaces or just edit it using the network manager in your taskbar [04:14] voss749 If I run a 32bit version I'll be able to run any programme, but If I search the 64bit version of some programmes, I just won't find them. === xuekan is now known as rabbit_kan [04:14] Celtibero, if you use any 32bit OS only app, go 32bit; otherwise you may not have big reason for using 32bit trading off performance [04:14] MooshiMuushi: right click network manager and select "Edit Connections" === pietro_spina is now known as pietro|phone [04:15] collosi, Then I have to change from automatic to manual. [04:16] MooshiMuushi: yes, and make sure to set your mask, gateway and dns server [04:16] collosi, where can one put a "any.conf" file if one wants to enable hibernate e.g. function? [04:17] ovrflw0x: haha, I have no idea, I never used hibernate [04:18] icarus-c Do you know anything about the low latency kernel? [04:18] ovrflw0x, um... what? to enable hibernation you just need a swap space and add "resume=" parameter to kernel [04:18] Celtibero, you mean like BFS/BFQ ? [04:18] ovrflw0x: what are you trying to do? [04:18] collosi, Done. [04:18] Hmm, nothing I change seems to make Firefox load pages faster. It takes at least 7 seconds to get past the "Looking up [domain]" status... anyone know where I should be looking? [04:18] Celtibero, or zen or ck kernel patchset === sailerboy is now known as zz_sailerboy [04:19] MooshiMuushi: try a reboot and see if it works! [04:19] duolos, what about other browsers? [04:19] icarus-c I mean the one you should use to obtain low latency when recording sound. [04:20] Celtibero, um.. no idea. [04:20] icarus-c, ah. I'll try chrome in a few. I'm installing a bunch of updates right now... maybe they'll fix the issue. [04:20] And leave the interfaces like before? [04:21] icarus-c Oh, I've made some search on google, and it's called Real-Time kernel... [04:21] MooshiMuushi: yes, but once you connect to the eth0 int you will have both up wont you? [04:22] Apparently, one should boot from a RT kernel, in order to obtain little number of xruns... [04:22] Yes, but when I restart the wireless network will be disabled. [04:22] collosi, Yes, but when I restart the wireless network will be disabled. [04:23] ...when recording musical instruments or any sound from an external device... [04:23] MooshiMuushi: have you tried it again? [04:23] Giv eme a second. [04:24] hi everybody [04:24] Hi [04:24] nedd your help here [04:25] Is there anyone managed to automatically suspend the system? [04:25] Is there anyone managed to automatically suspend the system? [04:25] how do i share a specific file with root user? [04:25] iVIM2, what you mean by automatically suspend [04:25] icarus-c: yes [04:26] iVIM2, like suspend when idle? [04:26] icarus-c: yeah [04:26] iVIM2, yea? why [04:26] hello, I ran across a bug during the Meekrat installation, namely nvidia drivers weren't pointing to the right spot, the LaunchPad ubuntu-bugs app is tied to process IDs, any way to report a bug relating to the install/upgrade? [04:26] evening everyone :D [04:26] icarus-c: yes. [04:26] icarus-c: no gnome [04:27] icarus-c: is there any idea? [04:27] hi i can not install vmware server on ubuntu server 10.04 [04:28] anyone know how i can configure it [04:28] rookie2010: there are some workarounds [04:28] rookie2010: this one worked for me - http://radu.cotescu.com/2009/10/30/how-to-install-vmware-server-2-0-x-on-ubuntu-9-10-karmic-koala/ [04:28] iVIM2, with pm-utils [04:29] icarus-c: pm-suspend automatically? [04:29] rookie2010: be aware that you will also need an older version of firefox to open the console applet. [04:29] iVIM2, i haven't tried but [04:29] yes i had firefox 3.5 [04:30] icarus-c: daemond process sleepd maybe can't do the thing. [04:30] I got this message http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/505478/ while trying to install gparted from Synaptec . Kindly Advice me [04:30] Im having trouble binding to my NIS server. I know other boxes match, and my ypserv is correct, and no firewalls are running. However I cannt query the rpcinfo from the host to the server. Other boxes can do this fine, but my box says connection refused. [04:30] iVIM2, oh iirc laptop-mode-tools has that function configured [04:31] icarus-c: I also installed laptop-mode-tools by tasksel [04:32] icarus-c: GNOME can manage these,but I want to manage them in CLI [04:33] Whenever I try to back encfs with a folder mounted over sshfs, it fails. What can I do about this? [04:34] <^Cheeky> hi, does any one use a auto format plugin for ged it ? [04:35] researcher123: can you sudo apt-get update without any errors?

[04:38] google voice [04:39] researcher123: can you try using other repos? some from another country, cause when I try to ping that ip I get no reply [04:39] linzhavon: that is a SIP provider. I'm talking about the client on my desktop [04:39] haha [04:39] collosi: How to do that [04:40] squidly: oh, skype may be a choice, but i'm not sure. [04:40] researcher123, System -> Administration -> Software Sources -> Download From -> Select Other... [04:40] researcher123: easy way - open up update manager and click on settings. will ask for password, then on the tabs click on Ubunut Software and then select Download from: Another place [04:40] MeanEYE: OK [04:40] then let ubuntu find a repo that works :D [04:40] linzhavon: no the skype only connects to the skype network.

[04:53] :) [04:53] so a bash shell [04:54] the way you describe it sounds like the shell I got when my kernel could not be found. [04:54] MeanEYE, tried some not exactly what i am looking for, i am running on a very old monitor, whose display is pretty messed up...Red is too dominant... [04:54] when I type boot, it says no kernelselected [04:54] 一 [04:54] hmm [04:55] did you load the kernel? [04:55] how can i configure an mta or whatever so i can send mail from the command line in lucid lynx? [04:55] what do most people use [04:55] !mta [04:55] A Mail Transfer Agent (MTA) is the server software that sends and queues mail. The default MTA (and !MDA) on Ubuntu is !postfix ("exim" is also officially supported). See also !MailServer and !MUA [04:55] theanalyst, hm, not sure how to help then... I was looking for the same thing since I have 2 same monitors except one is on DVI and other on VGA... [04:55] thanks [04:55] !postfix [04:55] postfix is the default !MTA and !MDA on Ubuntu. For help, read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Postfix and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PostfixBasicSetupHowto - See also !MailServer [04:55] krish_er34, can you give me the exact message... you get? [04:56] @MeanEYE : no vsible errors..it just taks me there [04:56] I'm looking for a tool I've seen in Vista where you can just cut or crop something right off the screen with a scissors. Is there anything like that in Ubuntu? I would prefer n not having to take a screenshot and manipulate it in GIMP.

[04:58] infid: Install postfix and configure it for the local host only. Then install the mailutils package and you *should* be able to send mail right from the command line (or a script, etc.). [04:58] MeanEYE, well on windows there used to be that intel graphicx driver setting where you can adgust the RGB contrast, is there something similar on X? like can i individually calibrate R,G,B on Xorg.cong [04:58] AbhiJit, hi [04:58] theanalyst, which graphics card you have? [04:58] good morning karl__ [04:58] rob_p: i already have postfix installed but i never configuerd it and not sure how to just quickly give it my smtp info [04:58] AbhiJit, good morning [04:58] AbhiJit, may i pm you [04:58] karl__, about what? [04:59] karl__, a tech support question [04:59] @MeanEYE, in the command prompt , I can type boot, but it says no kernel specified [04:59] MeanEYE, its just the on-board graphics...82945G i believe... [04:59] AbhiJit, a tech support question [04:59] krish_er34: did you try selecting a kernel? [04:59] karl__, about ubuntu? then ask here only [04:59] theanalyst, intel you mean?

[05:00] MeanEYE, yep..no external graphics card...its an old box which i may have to use for a week or two.. [05:00] hit tab and tell me if it outputs a list of commands [05:00] karl__, ok pm me. if i know then i will answer. [05:00] infid: Its config files are located in /etc/postfix. The main.cf file is the one you want. [05:01] krish_er34: you did it. Thanks [05:01] On a previous ubuntu install, I used to have a gnome applet that displayed my laptop's temperature. I can't find it now. [05:01] my mom has a problem with her laptop running 10.04 LTS, works fine on a fresh install, but after running the updates, it gave an error message about udev i think, and drops to an initramfs prompt. sometimes if you wait long enough the disk devices show up and you can exit an continue the boot. [05:02] karl__, again send me the msg in pm [05:02] the only change i made to the kernel config was installing linux-backports-wireless-compat and enabling the broadcom wireless driver === brebrebrebre is now known as |_ocke [05:03] Hi, i'm trying to get OpenSSL-DEV but do not know the name of the right package. [05:03] AbhiJit, get that? [05:03] karl__, yah [05:04] i'll be able to get more info tommorow, the laptop is not here [05:04] @Guest84947 : theres a tool called nixsnapr I am using u can google it [05:04] theanalyst, there's a package in ubuntu named gnome-color-manager, check if that helps [05:04] can someone please tell me the name of the OpenSSL-dev package please. [05:05] I finally got ALSA to recognize the sound devices on my graphics card by installing the backports for ALSA in an attempt to get HDMI audio working, however, now that the device shows up in Pulse, whenever I select it, I still get no audio. If I use smplayer and select the correct audio device (there are apparently four devices built-in to my graphics card, three of which can produce output), I actually get audio through my HDMI. How can I teach pulse to do th [05:05] kazoo: libssl-dev is all I can find. [05:05] MeanEYE, yep tried that...you cant calibrate RGB individually in that..which is what i want... [05:06] theanalyst: is it an nvidia card? on motherboard? [05:06] rob_p: i'm a little confused. a month ago i set up evolution mail client so i can send mail and that worked. did that use postfix? postfix was already installed [05:07] izinucs, nope its a very old box with some intel on-board graphics..82945or somethng === Deathspawn is now known as Spawn [05:07] is 9.04 going end of life at 23rd october 2010 ?

A mail client simply sends mail to an MTA for delivery. [05:08] theanalyst, hm, old vga displays had problems with cables sometimes... I know it's stupid but did you try checking the cable or using another one? [05:09] i read the topic guys..just was not sure if this year or next [05:09] mobasher: you can't use Lucid on your machine because of hardware? [05:09] karl__, ???

I, unfortunately, don't have much experience dealing with ATI cards [05:10] think it said udev not configured [05:11] i changed the prefrence in sound - hardware,then all sound disappeared ... why [05:11] mobasher: I'm inclined to believe that you should be able to install a proprietary driver that should make it work fine [05:11] gaelfx=}} yea i have tried the livecd's and all but had not much luck with it...so didn't bother with it..9.04 has been rock solid for me so far never crashed no issues [05:11] mobasher: what driver do you use for it now? [05:12] AbhiJit, and with teamviewer I can control another computer outside my own local network? [05:12] Ubuntor, yes [05:12] gaelfx=}} standard one that it installs i tried the flgx or something gave me trouble so i left it at that [05:12] AbhiJit, Many thnx for the info [05:12] Ubuntor, welcome! [05:13] infid: Sending mail from the command line is most easily accomplished with the mail command which is part of the mailutils package. As far as I know, the easiest way to use it is to have it send mail to a locally running MTA for further processing/delivery. Postfix is easily configurable to provide services to localhost only, which is adequate for your purposes. You may also want to have postfix relay mail via your ISP's MTA otherwise the [05:13] MeanEYE, well not unsolveable ..the intel onboard driver on windows had this calibration tool wher you can set contrast brightness of RGB individually like you do for images in gimp nd all..presently playing around with xgamma....but too much of a pain to get that right [05:13] rob_p: i can't seem to figure out where to put my smtp info in postfix so i can send mail. how do i do it for localhost only? [05:14] gaelfx=}} why touch something that is working :) like to keep things simple but i guess won't work for too long [05:14] theanalyst, hm, true... but old CRT with color issues. I don't think you can solve that by adjusting colors in system. not that am lazy to help but from my personal experience thats the way things are... I can dig arround a little bit more if you wish... I might find something... [05:15] mobasher: yeah, that's true. did it work without the fglrx driver? [05:15] gaelfx=}} yeap working with it so far [05:15] infid: Open /etc/postfix/main.cf and make sure you have a line with, "mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8", and a line with, "inet_interfaces = loopback-only" [05:16] gaelfx=}} as soon as i update to 9.10 the gdm starts to have issues ... [05:17] can't wait for the 10.10 :D [05:17] rob_p: it says that yet it can't seem to send mail to my gmail with : echo 'test' | mail -s 'foo' infid@gmail.com [05:17] infid: To have postfix use your ISP's MTA, you need to put their smtp server in relayhost. [05:18] infid: Google is likely rejecting it because it's coming from a dynamic IP. You should relay through your ISP's MTA. [05:18] i see [05:18] @MeanEYE: I am not able the grub menu..btw the screen I get is grub terminal it says Bash Like Shell [05:18] it's a grub shell [05:18] MeanEYE, yep its not software solvable i guess...tried most of the open source graphics softwares...nothing quite what i want.. [05:19] man I told you that like an hour ago [05:19] and you never responded [05:19] infid: You can view postfix's logs to see if the delivery attempt was successful and if not, why. [05:19] krish_er34, give me a moment to think [05:19] @MeanEYE: It gives me a command called boot , but I have to specify the kernel [05:19] krish_er34: type help [05:19] can some one help me? I recently switched from windows xp media center edition to ubuntu 10.04. before the switch my video playback resolution was great "screen resolution, sharpness, over all picture quality" since the switch it looks like im on an old tube monitor instead of my laptop and even dvd playback is really crappy looking. i've checked all the obvious things such as monitors in my preferences as well as hardware drivers but nothing is helping [05:19] . i dont have this problem viewing pictures though as they are sharp and clear [05:19] krish_er34, tried hitting just enter? [05:20] krish_er34: where is your kernel located? [05:20] rob_p: cool. what's the default dir that mail goes to with postfix? [05:20] mailbox [05:20] how do I find kerner version ? [05:20] Chaos2358, do you happen to play flash video? [05:20] infid: Depends on what you have set in Postfix's config. It supports maildir and mbox among others. [05:21] meanEYE what do you mean? Im not sure i know what flash video is [05:21] mobasher: yeah, I'm googlefuing it now, but it looks like you won't be able to use it too well in Lucid [05:21] empathy cant connect (error network) [05:21] rob_p: I just caught up with your msg to infid above. Describing postfix as 'easily configurable' seems to me to be optimistic, at best. Personally, I prefer ssmtp for simple desktop setups.... [05:21] Chaos2358, let me get this straight... resolution is fine, pictures look good, but only video looks crapy? [05:21] empathy cant connect (error network) [05:21] I play dvds and downloaded movies from the web as well as things like hulu.com [05:22] Chaos2358, and they look crappy in what way... you see the granulation ? [05:22] infid: If mbox, then usually something like /var/spool/mail/username; else ~/Maildir or similar. [05:22] I used to get list of options Like recovery mode etc [05:22] krish_er34: try kernel /boot/kernel26 [05:22] MeanEYE yes my desktop screen is great when i view pictures they are perfect but playing any video from hard drive, web stream or dvd looks crappy [05:22] but not any more..when I select ubuntu, I directly takes me to grub shell [05:22] rob_p: thanks a lot [05:22] Loshki: Sounds good. Go with what you know! [05:22] infid: welcome [05:23] Chaos2358, word crappy doesn't really say much to me. If you can be more specific. Crappy in what way, low frame rate, picture quality... etc. [05:23] MeanEYE it looks blurry like watching a video thats zoomed in too tight [05:23] I updated it recently. it may be some 2.6.3 or something else..will just 2.6 work ? [05:23] Chaos2358, which player? [05:23] MeanEYE blurry looking frame rate is ok but its not a sharp crisp picture like it should be [05:24] gaelfx=}} well even if i make to 9.10 for now i should be okay...for now..i'm actually reading some stuff on it right now as well in forums to install other video drivers to make it work..it's a p4 intel PC still going after 5 years .lol ..i'm just lazy to upgrade it [05:24] krish_er34: 2.6.32-25? [05:24] MeanEYE movie player the ubuntu default [05:24] rob_p: actually, if infid's happy with postfix, then it's fine with me too... [05:24] it doesnt even suggestions ,that terminal used to give , when I tap the tab [05:24] MeanEYE as well as webstream such as going to hulu.com and watching tv episodes directly in the web window [05:25] @krish_er34: try kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-25-generic [05:25] ok [05:25] I will try..thanks.. [05:25] Loshki: That's the great thing about all this, there are usually several if not many ways to reach your end goal. [05:26] mobasher: gotta do what you gotta do ;) [05:26] AbhiJit, the remote computer with ubuntu must also have TeamViewer installed right? [05:26] MeanEYE i know it seems odd and thats why i cant figure it out I'm totally stumped. I also a few Hours ago put in my old hard drive which still had my windows xp media center edition on it and the video playback was perfect [05:26] Ubuntor, yes [05:26] Ubuntor, both should join the same session [05:26] MeanEYE and if it makes any difference i'm using a dell inspiron E1505 [05:26] AbhiJit, ok good, Thnx again [05:27] Ubuntor, np [05:27] Chaos2358, you got me by surprise here. Point is, those players might be using VideoForLinux but it can't just work on one video and not on the other... It's not player specific [05:27] any idea whats that called..is it grub shell ? [05:27] gaelfx=}} ..i love it..i have a couple of new AMD PC's ..but this is like my baby just don't wana get rid of it...lol.. [05:27] @krish_er34: yes, it is the grub shell [05:27] it is used to install and configure grub [05:28] MeanEYE it doesnt work on ANY video. videos from any source are like that [05:28] and also to load a kernel and boot the system [05:28] Chaos2358, hm, can you upload a screenshot or something...? [05:28] gaelfx=}} well if I get a new graphics card then it should be fine i know..but forget it ..i'm just gona use it till it does but hasn't died of my so far in 5 years [05:28] Loshki: I'll have to take a look at ssmtp. I've used Postfix for production MTA for years so it's what I know. But it's possible there are better solutions for simple, host only type applications. Thanks for your input. I'll have a look when I get some time. [05:28] :) [05:28] I installed ALSA backports module to get my computer to recognize my HDMI audio device, and now that it does, whenever I select it in Pulse, I get no audio. I found that if I select the HDMI audio device in Pulse AND tell smplayer to use the correct ALSA device, I DO get HDMI audio, so my question is how can I get Pulse to do this automatically so that all my other applications can send audio through HDMI? [05:28] MeanEYE you'll have to tell me how [05:28] Is there a threaded irc client, something a bit more slrn-like? [05:29] loshki: irssi [05:29] is there a way to set up the default account for a set of linked contacts? [05:29] irssi isn't threaded [05:29] in empathy [05:29] Chaos2358, while playing any video just hit Print Screen button. Program will pop up, save the image on desktop and then use any image hosting site... like imageshack.us ... [05:29] irssi would work something like that, though [05:29] mobasher: yeah, you know you could always try an external graphics card, I've heard of at least a few success stories with those, though I can't speak to their effectiveness on a laptop setup [05:29] I've always like irssi or I use the IRC Gadget for Opera Browser which I'm using now [05:29] MeanEYE ok give me a minute [05:30] Chaos2358, as many as you need [05:30] if u want,my friend I have worked on a small script called nixsnapr . please check it out :D [05:30] https://launchpad.net/nixsnapr [05:31] how do I disable network manager on startup?

[06:59] well, i'll be back later [06:59] hi is anyone ever used wine to run "cs-onlie" sucessfully? if so, can you teach me how?thank you! [07:00] hi, ive installed netbook ubuntu remix and id like to have the 3d effects availible (they are disabled in the options) any help? thanx. === zz_PhilMather is now known as PhilMather [07:00] plafon: is compiz installed on your system ? [07:00] gllebihan: nope [07:00] but [07:01] i thought it wasnt necessary since the 3d effects were posible to run even without it (on desktop ubuntu) [07:01] plafon: all 3d effects are handled by compiz [07:01] ok then [07:01] ill install compiz [07:02] also the netbook ubuntu seems to have a huge potencial, i like it so far [07:03] palfon. From what I understand of the toe netbook installs, compiz is a pia to get working as it's a frill left out from a lowend distro dirivitive [07:03] plafon: ntebook version is getting quite the make over for 10.10 [07:03] netbook [07:03] make over? in what way? [07:04] plafon: Unity a new interface [07:04] oh rly [07:04] seems nice [07:04] should i wait without compiz then? [07:04] the unity interface is bringing a lot the netbook venue, but compiz is still kind of a pipe dream [07:04] for 10.10 [07:04] you can get it to work, but it's not easy [07:05] plafon: now there are loads of nice distros that can run nicely on a netbook, but yeah I guess Unity is worth trying out, and that will be released properly this Sunday when 10.10 comes out [07:05] kk [07:05] you will have to add the repo's manually [07:06] DrakkenWar: no you don't, if installed from the netbook ISO [07:06] DrakkenWar: for Unity I mean [07:06] how can i find out what my current version is with a command?

[07:10] hey, is it a good idea to convert from .avi to .mp4 or .mkv to .mp4? [07:10] glebihan: I expect there are at least a few, and I mean with the new Gnome 3 look Gnome Shell, because of how it is made, but this is going a bit off topic now as well [07:11] Kartagis: uhmm good question [07:11] sebsebseb: that's why I asked for an external link :) thanks anyway [07:11] Anyone know of any way to just install every latin font in the repo's without manually reading every description (there's hundreds!) [07:11] Kartagis: why do you want to? [07:11] Kartagis: it's not something I would do personally, as it tends to kinda bonk the quality more [07:12] Kartagis: It's not a good idea. All of these are compression schemes which are lossy, which means every time you do almost any conversion, you *lose* quality. Never convert unless you have to.... [07:12] Kubuntiac: also all of those formats are propritayr formats, so not much point really [07:12] Kartagis: but I'm sure it's accomlishable with vlc or some other such software [07:12] sebsebseb: Ok, well every open licensed, latin font [07:12] Kubuntiac: no messaged you by mistake there [07:12] lol [07:13] Kartagis: also all of those formats are propritary formats, so not much point really [07:13] Kubuntiac: you can use regular expressions with apt-get, may help you [07:13] HI I need help i registered on ccpower but now don't know how to log in [07:14] Loshki I have to, because .mp4 is the only format my phone can read [07:14] Kartagis: ok that is a reason to convert [07:15] Kartagis: however another reason people tend to do it is, because they want in a open format [07:15] !formats [07:15] !avi [07:15] For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [07:15] ANYBODY TO HELP?

[07:28] dstryr, you know, "security = user" [07:28] sebsebseb: more likely on you than me ;) [07:28] im very new to linux [07:28] im very new to ubuntu, and i just installed it with the live cd. [07:28] on my laptop. [07:29] what do you mean by security = user? can you explain more? [07:29] i tried searching online but couldnt find the solution [07:29] dstryr, read samba doc...

[07:29] It was working like 5 minutes ago [07:29] id try and view a folder from windows and it would ask me to login [07:29] AndroUser2, i tried what you said and it seemed to install, but where did it go? the terminal screen just disappeared [07:29] now for some reason i just gain access no matter what [07:30] no authentication required [07:30] dstryr: do you want users to access your system via windows networking with or without a login? [07:30] dstryr, http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/ServerType.html#id2559114 [07:30] with login [07:30] i think its installed when i choose between ubuntu and win xp, i then choose Ubuntu Linux 2.6.32-24 Generic [07:30] I need it to make them login to view the folders [07:30] dstryr: then keep it as 'user' [07:30] and then it takes me to a command prompt after i login, i dont understand what to do next. [07:30] ive assigned users in the system and in samba [07:30] anybody here play minecraft? [07:30] i do hydro. [07:30] oh [07:31] i have to edit the conf file [07:31] dstryr, look, there are some security mode, like "share" , "user" when you use share, no authentication needed, with "user" , login required [07:31] dstryr, yea since you want global, put security = user in [globa] section [07:31] have you done any changing textures and playing other peoples saved files? [07:31] dstryr, i guess there is "security = share" there already [07:31] Lychaeus: what version of ubuntu did you install ? [07:31] 10.4 i believe [07:32] the lastest one [07:32] Lychaeus: desktop edition, right ? [07:32] Hydrozii: try #minecraft, or #ubuntu-offtopic [07:32] err maybe not hold on. [07:32] alright [07:32] there is no option for "security = xxxx" in the global section of my .conf [07:32] the official minecraft channel ignores me :( === sdx24 is now known as sdx23 [07:33] ####### Authentication ####### [07:33] # "security = user" is always a good idea.

[07:33] i was gonna ask how to change texture packs and play other peoples saves on ubuntu [07:33] # security = user [07:34] hmm [07:34] all the security options are set to user [07:34] dstryr: what are you trying to do exactly? use samba to do what? [07:34] and it still doesnt make me enter login information to access shared folder [07:34] dstryr, dude they are commented out [07:34] is libavcodec a video or an audio codec?

[07:35] dstryr, yes.. [07:35] dstryr: right well like icarus-c was saying they are commented out, thats a start knowing what that means, if you aren't sure :) [07:35] lol [07:35] wow i feel dumb [07:35] dstryr, anything after "#" are comments, they are ignored [07:36] disturbedmime: config files are a bit like programs in a way, and so they have comments # ## [07:36] what about ; [07:36] mouse cursor hangs in 10.10... seems to be related with either media or sound [07:36] is ubuntu.com down for anyone else? [07:36] or rather: the left click stops working [07:36] has anyone had this problem? [07:36] disturbedmime: after # can put basically put any text, and it won't be used, it just readable text nothing else [07:36] Lychaeus: up for me [07:37] sebsebseb: worksforme [07:37] dstryr: however sometimes, you would want to uncomment something for useage, then you would remove the # [07:37] Lychaeus: works for me, though it's slow [07:37] cyberdo: wrong person [07:37] Lychaeus: worksforme [07:37] i think i read that if you change something in the config file [07:37] you have to reboot samba? [07:37] kk, yes i have desktop edition. [07:37] but when i boot it, it goes to a command prompt [07:37] dstryr, same [07:37] not a desktop [07:37] Lychaeus: works fine here [07:37] how do you reboot just samba ? and not the computer? [07:38] dstryr, i think default smb.conf clearly explain comment in the beginning of the file [07:38] dstryr: sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart [07:38] dstryr: file server? most people just use Samba to share some files with WIndows, and thats that, as far as I know, but your wanting to do something a bit differnet, so if you don't get very far in here, I would suggest reading up about Samba for what you want to do [07:39] well maybe you guys could suggest a better solution [07:39] isnt ubuntu desktop supposed to boot to a desktop? not a full screen command prompt? [07:39] i have 10 windows computers and this ubuntu computer [07:39] i need all the windows computers to use the ubuntu computer for storage [07:39] dstryr: samba is fine for non-windows as well, but perhaps your objective isn't clear [07:39] i dont want anything on the windows computers [07:39] I need to find help, from someone familiar with kernel driver troubleshooting? [07:40] lucent: #linux is a good place to start [07:40] dmesg? [07:40] that way everyone can access the same files [07:40] Gnea: I think it may be Ubuntu specific, it is about the new firewire stack causing problems with one of my adapters... but I'm stuck and not getting anywhere on the mail lists [07:41] dstryr: your best bet is to start by installing SWAT and configuring it with a web browser. all of the options can therefore be explained in great detail that way in a neat and orderly manner. [07:41] Lychaeus: what happens when you type gdm [07:41] lucent: I see... have you pastebin'd the output of the dmesg command? [07:41] Gnea: there is no output, no one will help me without output [07:41] * ph0n7r1c hi guys whats the command for viewing hardware information like version and maker [07:42] I don't know how to get debug output from firewire [07:42] my isp's outgoing port is 465. how do i tell ssmtp that? [07:42] 1 minute collosi [07:42] lucent: I find it impossible that there is no output from the dmesg command. [07:42] the errors show up in other layers that run on top of firewire (disk storage, ffado audio...) [07:42] do i need to install it with wibi? [07:42] lucent: how are you running it? [07:42] or just the live cd? [07:42] to dual boot [07:42] wubi* [07:42] how am I running... my computer? nothing special, it's just that there's no firewire errors I can find to report on [07:43] lucent: no, the dmesg command. [07:43] 'dmesg -c' then do stuff, errors happen, 'dmesg' [07:43] ph0n7r1c: try lshw [07:43] Gnea, all the security commands in that file are uncommented and say security=user etc [07:43] and i can still access the folders via windows without login [07:43] lucent: I'm going to make this as easy as I can for you, okay? [07:43] all the errors are higher layers and nothing firewire that I can see [07:43] so what do I do to watch firewire for errors and debug info? [07:44] lucent: open a terminal, and type the following please: sudo apt-get install pastebinit && dmesg | pastebinit [07:44] lucent: then display the resulting URL here, please. [07:44] Lychaeus: it's up to you, both work [07:44] hi [07:44] lucent: you're asking the wrong questions, please perform the requested tasks and we will try to find them. [07:44] Gnea: thanks for helping, first, how do I reproduce problems without having to use a storage device on the firewire bus? [07:45] k i reinstalled it, one second. [07:45] lucent: I can't answer that at this time. [07:45] dstryr, how do you share folders in the first place [07:45] * ph0n7r1c does lshw mean list hardware [07:45] hmm... can I prevent Ubuntu from auto-mounting the volume? that's what's destroying my data [07:45] what is the link for login to SQL panel through php [07:45] ? [07:45] lucent: if you can't help me, I can't help you. [07:45] sorry, that's just how it is. [07:45] dstryr, specify by smb.conf ? or usershare [07:46] Gnea: when I insert a storage device to reproduce the problem, it auto-mounts and the filesystem goes corrupted [07:46] lucent: you're making this difficult and you don't need to. [07:46] sorry about that, I don't enjoy losing my data [07:46] lucent: well, you're not paying any attention to me, so from this point on, I don't see the need to pay attention to you. [07:46] what is the link for login to SQL panel through php ? [07:46] lucent: I understand that, but I really don't enjoy someone that can't follow simple directions in the heat of the moment. [07:47] Lychaeus: you're usind wubi correct? [07:47] if you want the problem fixed, let's fix it, don't ask me questions I don't know the answers to yet. [07:47] Gnea: uh... right I appreciate your time, but you're being difficult yourself [07:47] i did not use wubi.

Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [07:47] i used the live cd, and did the dual boot option. [07:47] Gnea: do you want a dmesg without reproducing the problem? [07:47] I didn't see what good that would do [07:48] lucent: at this point, yes please, and then we'll go from there. [07:48] Lychaeus: you using the live CD now? [07:48] yes, i installed it through windows. and now im "copying files" after rebooting. [07:48] lucent: it's called "step 1 of the troubleshooting process" [07:48] I don't have time to explain it all at this time, just one step at a time. [07:49] * ph0n7r1c is there are way of run a script before the login screen shows up [07:49] you have time enough to patronize me. Not okay. [07:49] i could not use "normal mode" i had to use "safe video" sorry forgot the actual name. [07:49] hey all this has nothing to do with linux, but [07:49] lucent: I know when I've been trolled.

[07:50] Gnea, when you are done helping this guy can you help me work through the problem i'm having? I'll wait until you are done [07:50] the price of free tech support is to do things the way the person helping you wants them done [07:50] dstryr: oh I'm done, what's up? [07:50] how can you run a script before the login screen please === aL3x_ is now known as alexlea [07:51] Esat, you need to unzip/untar the file tar xvvf tarfile [07:51] alexlea: point taken. :) [07:51] Esat, tar.gz is just a file archive (think of .zip / .rar) [07:51] infid: How's the project coming along? [07:51] stil trying to get the folder passord protected over the network [07:51] seidos, i did that, [07:51] phon7r1c: you can use the startup applications and run the script from there [07:51] Esat, what sort of things are in the tar.gz [07:51] Gnea, it was working like 10 minutes ago ...now all of a sudden it doesnt ask for user or password when accessing from windows [07:52] dstryr: okay, so what changed? [07:52] Gnea, I have no clue man [07:52] dstryr: I think that's more of a Windows-specific question, Ubuntu side might be unchanged [07:52] dstryr: did you run an upgrade? [07:52] ph0n7r1c: what are you trying to run? [07:52] nope [07:52] dstryr: can you pastebin your smb.conf please? [07:52] dstryr: try the 'net' command from Windows cmd console, and seek help how to use that to forget the net password and username so you can re-enter it? [07:52] maybe windows is storing the password and user name and not showing [07:52] is there a known video issue with a dell latititude d505 booting to black screen in normal mode? [07:52] i want to run certain scripts before i login to my system as root [07:52] Esat, well, is it source code? then ./configure make sudo make install [07:52] dstryr, if you didn't change any bit on the serve side, i guess it is windows client store login credentials? [07:53] how do i check if it stores the login? [07:53] dstryr: try rebooting a windows client then [07:53] or how do i clear it [07:53] dstryr, ask in ##windows [07:53] lol [07:53] * icarus-c doesn't use Windows [07:53] ph0n7r1c: you could use upstart scripts [07:53] dstryr: asking a windows guru might be wise at this point, particularly about the 'net' command I mentioned above [07:53] dstryr: #samba is a good place to ask as well [07:53] Lychaeus: what is your xorg log output? [07:53] i tried samba [07:53] noone answered :/ [07:53] they tend to idle a lot [07:53] above my head collosi. lol [07:53] seidos , yes it is source code [07:54] im gonna try to reboot my windows computer and see if it asks for login again [07:54] but they can be helpful once they answer [07:54] okay [07:54] is there another option for making a file server for a bunch of computers? [07:54] Esat, then "./configure" "make" "sudo make install" [07:54] (all windows based)? [07:54] a better program i mean [07:54] dstryr: it depends if you want them to be workgroup or domain based [07:54] seidos, are these two different commands? [07:54] Esat, three [07:54] dstryr: I prefer SWAT [07:54] cause i have a problem with my ubuntu i borught a new laptop and have it runing but when i go to shutdown it freezys on me and i have to press the power botton to kill it when it starts up again some how the session was messed up the last time so the system is a little unstable [07:55] it doesnt really matter....because i dont know the difference [07:55] Gnea: http://pastebin.com/XBJ1JGrK and FYI the last series of messages in the output is result of inserting the troublesome firewire card and it being accepted [07:55] seidos, ok [07:55] * icarus-c suggests "./configure --prefix=$HOME/.local && make && make install " instead [07:55] configure [07:55] Gnea, doesnt matter about the domain or workgroup [07:55] no errors are supposed to be meaningful in that text, I haven't reproduced the problem yet [07:55] i dont know the difference or advantages between the two [07:55] dstryr: okay, then yeah, I'd get swat installed and running first [07:55] ;p [07:55] Lychaeus: run this in the terminal #cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log [07:55] so i was thinking of writting a simple check script to fix this during startup [07:56] seidos, configure: error: cannot find install-sh or install.sh in "." "./.." [07:56] i have swat installed [07:56] im trying to figure out how to run it ;x doh [07:56] Lychaeus: what you really want to do is post that file, so someone can take a look at it [07:56] Esat, is there a autorun.sh ? [07:56] cause the system was not probaly shutdown it messed some files [07:56] icarus-c, there are many files here [07:57] ph0n7r1c: maybe the best option would be trying to fix the issue rather than finding a workaround [07:57] upstart script is a file or program [07:57] dstryr: ah, make sure you have openbsd-inetd installed and make sure that /etc/inetd.conf has a line in it for swat to run [07:57] hmm [07:57] well it looks like reboot the windows computer made it ask for login again [07:57] nothing happens when i type that Collosi [07:57] Esat, so is there a autorun.sh ? or a INSTALL file? [07:57] or README [07:57] because its a new computer it has ubuntu has not got the fixes for it yet [07:57] gnea, do you think we could chat pm? chatroom is hard to keep up with [07:58] the model was release a few months ago [07:58] yes, there is a readme.txt file [07:58] Esat, there could be a .bin file that you are supposed to just execute. what is the tar file of? [07:58] Lychaeus: what about #dmesg [07:58] Esat, read it then [07:58] it was only designed for windows 7 and we all know how dum windows are [07:58] nothing again [07:58] hi there [07:58] dstryr: it's actually better this way, so that others can join in, plus I can help 2 people at once this way. just pay attention to nick highlighting. [07:58] rob_p: well now i'm just trying to use ssmtp to send a message and i have it mostly configured. but the mail.err log keeps saying '553 From address not verified' for some reason [07:58] ok [07:59] ph0n7r1c: try running your script in the startup application [07:59] dstryr: or maybe they're having the same problem and can benefit [07:59] even the lan drivers for it i had to manually install [07:59] Any steam gamers in here having a problem running TF2 after the latest update? (wine) [07:59] Esat, i suppose the tarball comes with a install guide or from where you download it [07:59] Collosi, mind if i send you a link to a pic ? [07:59] lucent: have you been able to read the partition table? [07:59] Lychaeus: sure [07:59] rob_p: i even tried echo 'test' | mail -a 'From: infid@att.net -s 'sending test' infid@gmail.com [07:59] infid: Gave up on Postfix? I don't know ssmtp so I cannot advise. [07:59] Gnea, openbsd-inetd is installed [07:59] how do i add a line to the file to make sure it runs [07:59] for swat [07:59] the startup application runs after or before the loging program [07:59] rob_p: postfix is more complicated though if i can figure out how to do it with ssmtp i can figure it out with postfix i'm sure [08:00] Gnea: of... the fubar filesystem? I don't have anything connected at the moment, I was using firewire for data storage and also audio devices [08:00] collosi http://imgur.com/IkBr6.jpg [08:00] dstryr: well, look at the bottom of /etc/inetd.conf now, should be something there for it [08:00] ph0n7r1c: runs at login, so after login [08:00] infid: Is there a way to force ssmtp to relay via your ISP's MTA? [08:00] lucent: well, according to that dmesg output, it looks like you connected the firewire HDD [08:00] but is the a way to run it before the login like during the checks [08:00] gnea swat stream tcp nowait.400 root /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/swat [08:00] looks right... [08:01] Gnea: I have a built-in ieee1394a chipset which works reliably, so.... yes that one is working but my expresscard based ieee1394b adapter (not connected) corrupted data [08:01] rob_p: yeah and that's what i'm doing [08:01] or just after the boot screean [08:01] lucent: and I'm not seeing any errors. what I am seeing is that it is being setup correctly, so try this: sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdb [08:01] Gnea: sorry it's confusing because I didn't know why my data was disappeared when it happened last week, now is much different [08:02] icarus-c, i know where the software downloaded, it is *.tar.gz file [08:02] rob_p: i finally got it to authenticate the ssl part to my isp's smtp, but now it just keeps giving me this '553 From address not verified' stuff [08:02] Lychaeus: just for kicks try running #sudo gdm [08:02] nothing [08:02] since then i've connected via the reliably operational firewire chipset, and zereo'ed and partitioned and made a new fs === urna_ is now known as urna [08:02] dstryr: alright, so now open a web browser (or tab) and go here: http://localhost:901 [08:02] starts another justin@ubuntu [08:02] I know ive asked this before but whats the command to extract the contents of a tar.gz to a directory which requires super user privledges? [08:03] okay [08:03] Gnea: http://pastebin.com/ZBqVrYvA [08:03] lucent: understood, but we need to make sure that what's currently connected isn't having any problems along the way. if we find a problem, then we'll know why it happened and can go about fixing it. [08:03] xbonesx: sudo tar xzvf ? [08:03] infid: ok ill try it [08:03] gnea, now what? [08:04] Gnea: okay, understood. I'm pretty confident that my firewire gear is working connected to the internal chipset like I have set up now [08:04] Lychaeus: try running #Xorg -configure [08:04] dstryr: now click on the different sections at the top to see the shares, printers, etc - make sure it's all loading right [08:04] nothing again [08:04] starts another line [08:04] lucent: if what I see is correct, you've connected a 1TB drive to it. [08:04] yep [08:05] Esat, does it come with a INSTALL guide [08:05] Lychaeus: no errors? [08:05] gnea, okay .... [08:05] infid: Looks like that status code refers to invalid recipient address. Are you sure you are sending to a valid e-mail address? [08:05] no errors, just starts another Justin@ubuntu line [08:05] no meaningful data on it at the moment, since the debacle last week killed the fs and I put a new ext3 system on it [08:05] lucent: I'm going to guess that this drive was formatted with a mac? [08:05] icarus-c, not, just readme file [08:05] Gnea: why a mac? [08:06] lucent: based on the filesystem type. that's not ext3. [08:06] Gnea: it's GPT so uh, did you want a listing from parted? [08:06] Esat, does it tell any clue [08:06] Lychaeus: ok, what about this #cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf [08:06] dstryr: so now, go to your base configuration and switch from 'basic' to 'advanced' [08:07] no, it is just about software, dont explain how it install [08:07] gnea, i think i am not in the right stop [08:07] all i have are "home, status, view, password at the top of the localhost page [08:07] same thing [08:07] doesnt do anything [08:07] lucent: does parted actually list anything? just an FYI, GPT can't hold an ext3 filesystem because it's 'ee', not '82' [08:07] rob_p: 100% sure it's a valid email address [08:07] gnea, nothing about advanced or basic settings [08:07] rob_p: it's my gmail address that i use all the time [08:08] dstryr: does it ever ask for a user/pass? [08:08] Lychaeus: what other OS's are installed? Is this a laptop? [08:08] Gnea: oh, I guess you're not familiar with GPT yet. [08:08] yes [08:08] i logged in [08:08] lucent: which is why I asked what created it [08:08] Gnea: I used parted ? [08:09] lucent: give it a shot [08:09] gnea, yeah i logged in with the admin account [08:09] nothing about advanced or basic [08:09] infid: Yeah, I was just making sure you didn't, "fat-finger" the address when you typed it! :-) [08:09] yes its a laptop, windows XP/. [08:09] hello ! I have installed ubuntu on a computer, but it freezes randomly, I can't find any clue to understand why. Can you help me ? Can tell what kind of card I got, and other stuff... [08:09] Gnea: sudo parted /dev/sdb print | pastebinit -a lucent # http://pastebin.com/BmFA0f2x [08:10] collosi: http://imgur.com/8LLk9.jpg [08:10] just so you can see what im doing [08:10] Sacha: how much RAM memory? [08:10] 2Gb [08:10] as swap [08:10] seidos, and icarus-c thank for your hepling, i found explanation [08:10] oh hmm... also, what brand of computer is it? something like a Dell or another brand? [08:10] Oh, no, I put 3 GB swap [08:10] rob_p: yea i triple checked. man this blows. it's 2010 and i can't even send a simple email after hours and hours :/ [08:11] Sacha, so how much physical RAM you have got [08:11] Sacha: I was asking about RAM, like the sticks of RAM [08:11] lucent: yeah, I'm a bit unfamiliar with that sort of layout, so I'm wondering if you can fsck it [08:11] and what's really sad is i have over a decade of unix experience, and have set up sendmail and postfix years ago successfully [08:11] Lycheaus: you are sure you are installing the desktop edition? [08:11] giver will not detect remote machine over intra net [08:11] but because i rarely ever use anythin but web mail i cant get this simple stuff working :P [08:11] 2Gb ram, 3 GB swap [08:11] yes. im mostly sure. [08:11] ill check again [08:11] its the a laptop addtion [08:11] infid: you can thank the spammers for that one [08:11] How can i correct it? [08:11] Gnea: GPT is *the* recommended partitioning scheme for volumes 500GB and larger capacity, so uh... side note you might want to read up about it sometime [08:12] no big deal, it's just used by every OS [08:12] lucent: I tend to not use those, since 1TB drives tend to have an inherit hardware flaw which limits their life expectancy quite considerably compared to lesser sized drives. [08:13] uh huh. [08:13] lucent: so anyway, sudo fsck.ext3 /dev/sdb1 [08:14] 2x500GB RAID0 works better :P [08:14] Gnea: presuming you'd like me to unmount it first [08:14] if it's hardware raid, yes. [08:14] Ubuntu auto-mounted it [08:14] lucent: that would be extremely helpful, yes. [08:14] ESportB10: clean, 11/61054976 files, 3883124/244190637 blocks [08:14] Lycheaus: your windows partition is fine correct? I would try to install again [08:15] infid: I think I *may* know what's going on. It's probably an anti-spam tactic used by your ISP's MTA. Usually you authenticate and then they let you relay through their server. However, many ISPs are now checking the, 'from address' and if it doesn't match the user whom you authenticated as, you will get that rejection message. [08:15] What is (:4893): Gdk-WARNING **: XID collision, trouble ahead? [08:15] lucent: alright, good to remount then [08:15] rob_p: hahahahha i got it working through brute force! [08:15] Gnea: done [08:15] lucent: how much data are we talking? [08:15] Lychaeus: when you install are you leaving all the setting as default? [08:15] infid: Do tell... [08:15] rob_p: i put rewriteDomain=yahoo.com even though my email is infid@att.net. i figured i'd try all permutations since my smtp server is att.yahoo.com [08:15] Gnea: nothing right now, it was all lost last week... [08:15] dstryr: did you find the correct tab? [08:16] lucent: have you tried using foremost? [08:16] Gnea: negatory, that's new to me. is foremost something you've got experience with? [08:16] !info foremost [08:16] foremost (source: foremost): Forensics application to recover data. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.5.6-1 (lucid), package size 41 kB, installed size 140 kB [08:16] Collosi, yes. [08:16] lucent: it's worked quite well in the past. [08:16] infid: I see. Well, that sort of goes along with what I thought might be happening. [08:17] Gnea, negative [08:17] Gnea: good to know, for the future. As-is the drive has been zeroed and a fresh ext3 filesystem, so I am unconcerned about what's on it right now [08:17] rob_p: thanks for all the help [08:17] i downloaded ubuntu-10.04.1-desktop-i386 [08:17] My terminal keeps spamming (:4893): Gdk-WARNING **: XID collision, trouble ahead . I don't know if its talking about firefox which I ran from the terminal I lost firefox in a update somehow [08:17] lucent: at what level did you zero it? just a basic format or did you actually do a dd=/dev/zero? [08:17] dd zero [08:18] oh, foremost can get past that [08:18] zeroing isn't really secure [08:18] :) [08:18] Is my computer headed for a waterfall [08:18] dd if=/dev/zero of=...... [08:18] or a pirate ship [08:18] infid: You can thank the low-life spammers for all the headaches of spam filtering that has become a part of life for anyone who deals with e-mail delivery. Anyway, glad I could help, even if only a little. Take care. [08:18] Giver will not detect remote machine, How can i correct this? [08:18] Lychaeus: what does #whois -r output [08:18] I tried to install 64b version, but it freezed, so I decide to install x86 version, but it's the same... Sometimes, I don't even have a console (accessed by hitting Ctrl+Alt+Fn)... [08:19] Gnea: ah, so you've used foremost to recover a dd zero'ed drive before? [08:19] Lychaeus: sorry #who -r [08:19] lucent: sure [08:19] I find that improbable [08:19] sec [08:19] hi all :) i read v4l2loopback.ko has been renamed webcamstudio.ko? is that true? where to get the latest source to build? [08:19] rob_p: yeah bad guys make the internet harder to use everyday. imagine how simple it was in 1990, insecure as hell but simple :P [08:20] lucent: you're free to think what you like [08:20] nothing collosi [08:20] same dam thing [08:20] hdon: I use this myself, it's a fork and not a rename to the best of my knowledge... see www.ws4gl.org [08:20] starts new line [08:20] Gnea: by "sure", do you mean that you personally have? [08:20] hi [08:20] Lychaeus: something is seriously wrong with that install [08:20] angelete2: hi [08:20] hdon: you will also need some other tricks to make it actually work with Flash that is distributed with Ubuntu, privmsg if you need help further [08:20] hmm. ill try to redownload and burn it [08:21] whenever i log through ssh to my server i get my welcome message twice [08:21] rww: Please help, I'm trying to filter out the bullcrap :) [08:21] infid: I'm sure it was. I didn't have regular/daily access to the 'Net until the summer of 1995. But even then it was a much different place than it is now. [08:21] Lychaeus: try re-installing, how many linux partitions are you creating? [08:21] rww: yeah, wasn't easy [08:21] how can i avoid this? [08:21] just one i guess. im doing the dual boot on the live cd [08:21] lucent: look, are you here to get help or to troll? [08:21] Gnea: cool. I'll have to play with it sometime. [08:22] infid: So now you just need to write a script to detect failed logins and have it run your one-liner to put an e-mail in your inbox! [08:22] rob_p: already figured that out, thanks to multitail [08:22] No one can help me ? [08:22] lucent, thanks. sent you a pm [08:22] Sacha: uhmm [08:22] Lychaeus: how big is the partition you are installing linux on? [08:23] Sacha: Did you check that your ISO was ok? or did you install from an offical CD? [08:23] 20GB is what i choose when it asked on the live cd [08:23] Lychaeus: what is the output of #sudo fdisk -l [08:23] Both cd were correct (md5sums were OK), downloaded from ubuntu [08:23] http://pastebin.com/tVcbFfbP here it is what i get anytime i log in [08:23] any help? [08:24] Sacha: and installling on to a computer with how much RAM? and what king of graphics card even? [08:24] Sacha: and which version of Ubuntu? [08:24] is it safe to $chmod -R 700 ~/ ? [08:24] infid: I'm guessing that is a logfile analyzer of some sort. Did you look into faillog? It would seem that PAM can easily be configured to react to things like failed logins. Perhaps you are already using it. Anyway, lots of ways to accomplish the task. [08:24] i've looked at /etc/motd and it only shows one, so what is the other file it's being added after motd?= [08:24] angelete2: what is the issue ? there isn't any error messages there ? [08:24] AnxiousNut: should be, unless you're doing something non-standard [08:25] rww: the only problem is that it can be touch and go... if foremost can't get to that layer of the buffer of the disk reliably, then it's going to be locked out [08:25] angelete2: oh sorry got it [08:25] Last version of ubuntu (i386), graphic card is an ati 200 series, (in the motherboard), and got 2Gb of ram (check ok) [08:25] rww: since zeroing just pushed most of the data into another ring [08:25] hgjgh [08:26] Sacha: Have you used any previous verison on there? [08:26] Collosi: i uninstalled it from windows, gonna try the netbook edititon [08:26] lucent: so foremost might get it, and it might not. YMMV [08:26] Hi,When ever i try to access my media server, via ftp, sftp, ssh etc. the network connection on this pc quites working. I do not get a message saying it was disconnected and there is no error in dmesg. but the internet just quites working [08:26] Lychaeus: alright, good luck! [08:27] wow! my first IRC chat :O [08:27] welcome [08:27] Got 2 discks on this computer, one IDE, and one sata (1Tb), install ubuntu on the Sata one, tried to run it live, it worked... It's the first time I use ubuntu on this computer [08:27] andriy: ok congratulations I guess [08:27] Sacha: and it installed, and you boot up, and it wants commands? [08:27] glebihan: /etc/issue has just Ununtu 10.04.1 LTS \n \1 [08:28] Sebsebseb : What you mean ? (fr) [08:28] how can i see commands for this? [08:28] Sacha: you installed Ubuntu, and what was the problem again? [08:28] The reboot was ok. [08:28] andriy: you just type [08:28] andriy: if you want support, just ask the question [08:28] It freezes randomly. [08:29] rob_p: i'll have to look into that. i dont seem to have anything in faillog for some reason [08:29] Sacha: #ubuntu-fr exists, if you'd prefer to ask in French [08:29] Sacha: no Ubuntu isn't meant to freeze, but sure it would sometimes [08:29] infid: i tried that and it didnt work [08:29] Gnea: I must admit, you are helping me immensely [08:29] And sometimes, just after boot, I can"t even have a console (Ctrl Alt Fnà [08:29] Sacha: that could be, because of your hardware, or the version, or both [08:29] Gnea: I'm learning all kinds of impossible things are now possible because you say they may or may not work. [08:30] infid: http://paste.ubuntu.com/505577/ [08:30] !irc > andriy [08:30] andriy, please see my private message [08:30] ahh, i see. I have a quick question. Why does the OS use swap memory when physical memory is still available? [08:30] lucent: life's funny that way sometimes [08:30] !guidelines > andriy [08:30] infid: That's because it's a data file. Look at the size. It's probably not 0. But the info contained in it is probably useless until you tell PAM to start updating it. [08:31] Sacha: 10.10 may work better on your computer, thats release this Sunday coming [08:31] Hmm... I hope Next version will run, cause I can't stand my wife use Winthing... [08:31] Sacha: the 10th [08:31] could someone tell me why this isnt working http://paste.ubuntu.com/505577/ [08:32] infid: You use the, "faillog" command to access the data in it. I played around with it a little.

[10:09] bullgard4, i didn't see his question, but I think he means non-admin accounts.. probably accounts that can't use sudo [10:09] bullgard4: typical unix jargon. system users are meant to be non-real users that are used to help perform various functions for the main running system. [10:10] Hi people, anybody in? [10:10] yeah [10:10] Ken8521: I don't thik that your answer is correct. »games« is no account on this computer. [10:10] bullgard4: it's a security precaution, instead of running all system processes/background daemons as root (which grants them access to pretty much everything) they get run under a user with a limited ownership of files and resources, so if it gets compromised, the potential damage will be limited [10:10] Hi am2 [10:10] bullgard4, oh ok, i didn't see him say that... [10:10] I have a problem.. Can any1 fix this [10:10] bullgard4: are you sure about that? open a terminal and type: id games [10:11] my nick is am2... I have one more nick called 10manju [10:11] i'm unable to access it [10:11] if i want to know how much memory a group of processes really requires i guess i should look at the /proc//status, but which number is closest to the actual memory use of each additional process? [10:11] I'm translating a formal text from UK english to spanish and there's an expression I can't really understand. [10:11] am2, why can't you access it? [10:11] its saying it already exists [10:11] Anyone could help me by private without any funny stuff? [10:11] am2, yeah, you need to log in w/ it [10:11] It'd take just 1 minute. [10:11] am2: you are having a problem with a nick on freenode? [10:12] @greppy: yes... I want to change my nick [10:12] am2: #freenode would be the place to ask about it [10:12] how to do ? [10:12] !freenode | am2 [10:12] am2: freenode is the IRC network that you're on! See http://freenode.net/faq.shtml. freenode has policies that govern how people should use the network which can be read at http://freenode.net/policy.shtml. The ubuntu channels on freenode also have their own !guidelines [10:12] am2: ask in #freenode [10:12] so i have a few things i would like some help with, first is it normal for it too take so long for my wireless card to make a connection? [10:12] am2, if the nick is already registered(and you in fact registered it) all you have to do is sign in w/ the nick, i guess i dont get the issue. [10:12] @Ken8521: So how do i change it ?? [10:13] am2, i'm not following.. what do you mean "how do i change it"? === devinhaynes is now known as devinmichaelhayn === devinmichaelhayn is now known as devinhaynes [10:13] @ubottu: Tell me specific command. I am a beginner to IRC... :) [10:13] jhattara: http://virtualthreads.blogspot.com/2006/02/understanding-memory-usage-on-linux.html [10:13] Gnea: Your wording is rather abstract. A »non-real user« is what? A program? Are you speaking about a utility? [10:13] am2, ubottu is a bot [10:14] Let me repeat: anyone from the UK? === Liammm is now known as Liammm|AFK [10:14] Plishtim, in #ubuntu-uk maybe? [10:14] Plishtim: why? [10:14] w/ [10:14] bullgard4: no, programs are executable files. [10:14] to install mysql 5.5, is there a 'backports' for ubuntu? [10:14] !irc > am2 [10:14] am2, please see my private message [10:14] Plishtim: Go to #ubuntu-offtopic. [10:14] !guidelines > am2 [10:14] Because I'm trying to find a UK native person to help me out with a translation. [10:15] Plishtim, then go to #ubuntu-uk [10:15] Thanks. [10:15] thanks ilovefairuz [10:15] * etheretic staples a platinum medal reading "Ubuntu Hero of Today" on ilovefairuz' chest :) [10:15] AbhiJit: hey, so what shall i do ?? I need to change my nick [10:15] And out for curiosity, where's people from in here? [10:15] * xbonesx glares at the medal in awe [10:15] i kno its a silly question [10:15] where is the right place if you have a question about making a pdf file from a xcf file in Ubuntu? [10:15] !register | am2 [10:15] am2: Information about registering your nickname: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat/Registration - Type « /nick » to select your nickname. Registration help available by typing /join #freenode [10:15] but, dont make fun pl.. :) [10:15] It's the first time I connect to this. [10:15] Gnea: If you do not speak about programs, what do you speak about wehn mentioning a »system user«? [10:16] Plishtim, form all over earth [10:16] am2, it's not a silly question, you're just not stating what the problem is... if you want to change your nick, change your nick.... if your other nick is registered, you'll need to enter your password... so what exactly is the problem? [10:16] Nice. [10:16] Take care then. [10:16] you just keep sayng "i need to change my nick" well... change it. [10:16] etheretic: ahaha, thanks mate [10:16] bullgard4: they are mutually exclusive. a "system user" is just that, a "system user". It's meant to be used by the main system, not as a standard user in the "user space" [10:17] ilovefairuz: credit where credit's due, etc. [10:17] Ken8521: Hey, tell me how to change it ?? [10:17] am2, what client are you using? [10:17] am2: /nick newnick [10:17] Gnea, only thing w/ that, it's gonna make him run that command everytime he signs on to irc. [10:17] vishwa: hey [10:18] he needs to set it to log in w/ the name he wants... [10:18] Ken8521: one step at a time [10:18] lol [10:18] Gnea: Your sentence "a "system user" is just that, a "system user"." does explain nothing. Can you tell me what do you mean by a »system user«? [10:19] where is the right place if you have a question about making a pdf file from a xcf file in Ubuntu? can I ask it here? [10:19] !ask | T`Pol [10:19] T`Pol: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [10:19] T`Pol probably google :D [10:19] yeah, that's really an application issue. [10:19] so i have a few things i would like some help with, first is it normal for it too take so long for my wireless card to make a connection? [10:19] bullgard4: did you read my definition ? [10:20] Is there a how-to on automounting external disks w. appropriate permissions so that a filer window with directories on these disks will show up after restart? [10:20] xbonesx, it depends.. i connect to my network pretty quick, but if i'm out and about, sometimes i connect a bit slwoer to others. [10:20] xbonesx: how long is "so long" ? [10:21] ilovefairuz: Now I read it. And I appreciate very much your explanation. -- Thank you. [10:21] This is am2 here [10:21] T`Pol: might not yield the best results but from the GIMP menu, try "File->Print", "Print to File" and check PDF as output [10:22] etheretic: /etc/fstab is the place to automatically mount a partition, open a filer can be achieved using the autostart application editor, check system > preferences > start up applications and add an entry [10:22] well sing the hallelujah chorus [10:22] jbl: I'll try that, thx [10:22] i gave a nick. its saying, already exists... i was medling wid irc few min back. Now i'm unable to get my old nick [10:22] etheretic: opening a filer ** [10:22] hi all, I'm having a problem using the rsync --files-from option, I keep getting the error message "rsync error: syntax or useage error (code 1)". It works fine if I put the list of files directly on the command line. Any ideas? [10:23] tintin, did you register that nick?.. if you didn't, then someone else did, so if that person signs on and uses the password to enter their nick, you'll get the boot. [10:23] ilovefairuz: roughly 45 seconds sometimes it doesnt even connect on first try, using a bcm4328, utilized with ndiswrapper, with the driver bcmwl5 [10:23] bullgard4: I've already explained it, and at this point, if you still don't get it, I'll have to ask that you locate a UNIX or Linux manual and read up on system accounts and how they're presence is useful in the basic system maintenance, as that is beyond the scope of this channel. [10:23] bullgard4: sorry, their [10:23] etheretic: if it gets automatically mounted by gnome, you only need to add the startup entry for nautilus (the file manager) [10:23] sisu_math: what's the exact command you use ? [10:24] glebihan, cd /home/sisu/Desktop/LivingRoom [10:24] rsync --files-from=/home/sisu/Desktop/LivingRoom/usb-backup -rauv /media/Lievre/backup/LivingRoom/ [10:24] ok done ....... jbl that was exactly what I needed thx a lot :) [10:24] ilovefairuz: i know - but the "save desktop state" function shuld take care of that. I get a "disk not recognised" error when desktop starts, but disks still show up under "places". [10:24] : i tried the old nick. Its not working... I oly set my nick to 10manju initially, then i was medling wid something... Now, i'm not able to retrieve back... [10:25] tintin, use the /nick command again. [10:25] bullgard4: or you could ask in #linux === cyrus_ is now known as A_New_Server [10:25] xbonesx: try editing the connection and setting up a static ip, maskk, gateway and dns servers, should speed it up a bit [10:25] heyyyyy [10:25] whats up buddies [10:26] ilovefairuz: the access point doesnt allow this, its in the programming, and i cant access that... [10:26] hi, i have some problem with firefox in ubuntu10.04 [10:26] ilovefairuz: u mean, just add nautilus to startup apps should solve it? [10:26] !ask | amitesh [10:26] amitesh: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [10:26] * T`Pol sais goodbye to everyone, have a nice day [10:26] sisu_math: and what does the 'usb-backup' file contain exactly (use pastebin if necessary) [10:27] Ken8521: it says 10manju :Erroneous Nickname [10:27] etheretic: the save state function doesn't including mounted partitions, and the disks will show up in the menu regardless of whether it is mounted or not, so i guess would have to add an entry to /etc/fstab for the disk and to add a nautilus entry in start up applications point to the folder where you mounted it (e.g nautilus /mnt/disk) [10:27] tintin, i dunno man, you're gonna have to figure it out.. i've repeated myself about 8x to you, and it's not getting through.. so.. good luck w/ it [10:27] when i can use chrome and transmission with my 3g broadband connection,firefox trouble for each page it gave message "offline mode" [10:27] hi guys. I have a package and a couple of patch files.. But I've never applied patches before. So how do you apply patches to a package/program? before you configure and make it, or after? [10:27] glebihan, http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/S1tDNhz6 [10:28] xbonesx: aren't you using network manager? [10:28] Ken8521: Okay.. I'll do something [10:28] sisu_math: not sure, but you may need to put absolute file paths there [10:28] amitesh set a lower d/l and u/l cap in the transmission preferences [10:28] Gnea: Thank you for your help. [10:29] bullgard4: in case you're having difficulty locating one, I suggest starting here: http://en.tldp.org/LDP/sag/html/index.html [10:29] Dulak: Even i exit from transmission then i have the same problem [10:29] glebihan, okay, I'll try that. It works fine if I put the relative file names on the commandline, separated by spaces [10:29] while chrome works at that time [10:29] amitesh: nifty [10:29] ilovefairuz: yes [10:30] xbonesx: then edit the connection in network manager's gui [10:30] sisu_math: yes but it isn't handled in the same way, and as I said I'm not sure, it's just a suggestion [10:30] glebihan, still no luck :/ [10:30] ^^ [10:30] ilovefairuz: oh but will my access point be kool with that? [10:30] amitesh: set a lower total number of connections in transmissions prefs [10:31] ilovefairuz: add to fstab /dev/disk/by-id/ for each drive? [10:31] xbonesx: if you've set up the correct values, yes [10:31] ilovefairuz: TY [10:31] amitesh: did you check Work offline in firefox file menu? [10:32] anyone familiar with the workings of plymouth? [10:32] Dulak: I said even i kill tranmission ,firefox doesn't work but at the same time chrome works.......so i suppose there is no problem of network congestion [10:32] if mencoder is saying duplicate frame(s), is it a warning or an error and what is this duplicate frame? [10:32] i'm trying to automate the procedure at this url: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LDAPClientAuthentication , but i'm having trouble with the prompts from the apt-get install procedure (ldap uri etc.). how can i skip the prompting, so that i can just move correct config files in place automatically after the install procedure? [10:32] no [10:32] amitesh: ahhh. no idea [10:32] etheretic: if the disk is currently mounted just type 'mount' and you'll find the entry for your disk/partition that you should add to /etc/fstab [10:33] 有说中文的吗?

[10:36] juk: the main reason to open the port is to be polite, on average an open port serves 4x the number of connections as an unopen port [10:36] juk: it's not a tracker thing, it's part of the bittorrent spec === devinhaynes_ is now known as devin_haynes [10:36] THANKS [10:36] ilovefairuz: like /dev/sdc1 udf rw,noauto 0 0 [10:36] Dulak: thanks [10:37] liang_: 类型/加入＃Ubuntu的- cn的 [10:37] juk: the more pieces you upload, the more pieces you will be offered by the swarm, so you notice the difference [10:37] anyone familiar with the workings of plymouth?

[10:40] glebihan, http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/EJukQAcx [10:40] xbonesx: so if the bar is at 100% the system is loaded? [10:40] in terminal how can i tell what version of linux i am using?

[10:42] thank you llutz_ [10:42] i appreciate it [10:42] quit [10:42] \quot [10:42] \quit === Liammm|AFK is now known as Liammm [10:42] / [10:42] etheretic: is your external disk currently mounted? pastebin the output of 'mount' [10:43] how do I upgrade a specific package ? apt-get update ? [10:43] iceroot: so how is the bar setup to work, cuz it obviously doesnt know that my system is about to boot, so it must be timed... right? [10:43] ihatefairuz [10:43] Dovid: apt-get install package if newer versions are available [10:44] Dovid: to check it: apt-cache policy package [10:44] xbonesx: its not timed, its bind to init-scripts, but with upstart its very hard to tell the exact state [10:44] glebihan, I get the same error message if I give it a non-existant file as argument to --files-from, so its not the formatting of the file itself [10:44] ilovefairuz: feast ye orbs at http://paste.ubuntu.com/505628/ [10:45] sisu_math: ok [10:45] feast ye orbs? what sort of tosh is that! [10:45] iceroot: so there is no config file that controls the speed of the bar, is it an animated thing, not determined by anything?

[10:56] etheretic: but make sure the folder is there: sudo mkdir /mnt/black [10:56] robert83a2: which means you need to actually *read* the file [10:56] ilovefairuz: /mnt/Black1T etc.? [10:56] etheretic: ilovefairuz its: /dev/sdb1 /mnt/black defaults 0 0 [10:57] i cannt use tv card [10:57] llutz_: etheretic: and correct the fs is missing too so make it: /dev/sdb1 /mnt/black ext3 defaults 0 0 [10:57] looking for some advice on which card to use, i know there both crappy cards...., intel 5100 or dell 1505?

Very much so. It was the kind of answer that I expected. Excellent! [10:59] what's the correct file system to mount /boot as? [10:59] alright it's actually linux-source-2.6.35.22.23 === davey is now known as Guest58575 [10:59] Beelsebob: usually ext3 or ext4 [10:59] Beelsebob: whatever you kernel supports, unix-fs preferred [10:59] your* [10:59] which is ubuntu's default?

[11:00] I only see a large log file on that page [11:00] looking for some advice on which card to use, i know there both crappy cards...., intel 5100 or dell 1505? [11:00] My keyboard and mouse do not respond in first 1-2mins after Ubuntu is started. Anyone encountered similar problems? [11:00] is there any possible way? [11:00] joa__: sudo sync && sudo umount /your/mountpoint [11:00] hey when i mount any external drive to /media it shows two files with same name as : /media/MEDIA & /media/MEDIA_; MEDIA_ contain all the file while MEDIA is an empty directory. why there is two directory for single drive? [11:00] llutz_: thanks [11:00] xbonesx: go for intel [11:01] Beelsebob: it ought to be defined in /etc/fstab [11:01] juk: TY [11:01] xbonesx, is this a wireless card? [11:01] robert83a2: what logfile? [11:02] Gnea : DpkgTerminalLog.txt [11:02] what's a good desktop client to use to access gmail? [11:02] Ken8521: both are [11:02] Gnea: I only see two lines to mount drives in there – one for /, and one for swap [11:02] Is projectm able to be used with vlc? [11:02] xbonesx, why would you even suggest a 1505? it only supports WEP. [11:02] mommentum:pidgin [11:02] robert83a2: ignore that, focus ONLY on what David Crosio wrote. [11:02] Gnea : I also opened the file /etc/init.d/conntrack-tools [11:03] Ken8521: lol no it supports wpa [11:03] Gnea : and the stop part... /var/run/conntracd.pid is missing [11:03] xbonesx, i just looked at the specs for it, it said wep only [11:03] Beelsebob: so you're setting up /boot from scratch? [11:03] Gnea : I did a touch /var/run/conntracd.pid [11:03] but still if I try to remove fails [11:03] im using it right now with wpa... [11:03] hmm [11:03] Gnea: no idea – shouldn't it have been there in the old system? [11:03] Ken8521: i think anyways... [11:03] robert83a2: right, it needs to create that .pid file when it starts [11:03] .. [11:04] robert83a2: and it needs to have the correct pid of the conntrackd process in it [11:04] xbonesx, http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=bsd&cs=04&sku=430-2547 [11:04] look at tech specs [11:04] xbonesx, i'm not saying yours doesn't support wpa..just saying that one apparently doesn't [11:05] Gnea : DAMN I DID IT :) [11:05] Gnea : had to start conntrack-tools...create the pid file [11:05] :) [11:05] Ken8521: http://img836.imageshack.us/img836/2897/screenshoteditingautoao.png [11:05] Gnea : ps -A | grep conntrack.... and write the pid into the file [11:06] robert83a2: you got it [11:06] nice job [11:06] Gnea : sorry, I'm just not used... to...well this is kinda buggy [11:06] Gnea : I know very old [11:06] xbonesx, yeah... like i said, i wasn't doubting you, just saying what that says [11:06] robert83a2: it's cool, as long as you learned something from it [11:06] lol [11:07] (yeah, try to stay calm....which is hard) [11:07] lol [11:07] xbonesx, so why do you want another card? [11:07] Ken8521: was just wondering which was better [11:07] xbonesx: evil mac? [11:07] xbonesx, probbaly the intel, but is something wrong w/ your current card? [11:07] I am trying to enable XDMCP in my ubuntu, but I am only capable to login from the same machine, if I try to establish a connection remotely I got no connection [11:08] Calinou? [11:08] xbonesx, i doubt you'd see any performance boost w/ one over the other [11:08] Ken8521: well no, but always looking for the best [11:08] omg [11:08] Calinou?! [11:08] Ken8521: ya didnt think so [11:08] !best > xbonesx [11:08] xbonesx, please see my private message [11:08] Is there a way to suppress non-serious hits to Firestarter so that its icon doesn't turn red? Says nothing in the fm. [11:09] Calinou [11:09] Calinou? [11:09] Is there a Kosher version of Ubuntu? [11:09] Ken8521: lol thanks [11:09] continue to highlight me [11:09] For Jewish people? [11:09] xbonesx, that was only partially on topic for you... but bottom line.. the "best" between the two.. there's probably no difference at all. [11:09] Calinou [11:09] rookie1: yes. [11:09] rookie1!!! [11:09] Calinou rookie1 [11:09] rookie1: Yes, regular Ubuntu complies with all Kosher rules related to computer software. [11:10] ah, good. [11:10] Ken8521: ok but what about using aircrack? do you know? was told the 1505 doesnt allow the utilization... [11:10] KhazarUbuntu? [11:10] rww> mega LOL [11:10] xbonesx, well that often depends on the chipset on the card.. not how high/low quality the card is. [11:10] hi [11:11] Ken8521: how would i know these things [11:11] Hi. I'm happy with my pc as it is but want to try some different desktop managers. Is it always possible to revert to my current settings without reinstalling? [11:11] xbonesx, most wireless cards can use aircrack, unless you're wanting to use penetration... then your options slim a bit. [11:11] GD forbid I ever transgress against YWH [11:11] hi [11:11] hi [11:11] xbonesx, what chipset does your current card have? [11:11] Ken8521: isnt that what aircrack does... [11:11] is there any firewal. [11:11] Calinou rookie1 [11:11] Calinou rookie1 [11:11] by default in ubuntu¿ [11:11] Ken8521: i wouldnt know how to get that info... [11:11] CT1 yes [11:11] continue === Guest97175 is now known as Freak_man [11:12] rookie1: www.jewbuntu.org [11:12] hi [11:12] CT1: well you just install the window manager and choose what you want at login. If you don't want one anymore, you just uninstall it [11:12] Gnea, most excellent [11:12] Calinou rookie1 [11:12] gnea> nice1 [11:12] xbonesx, sort of... some chipsets can crack a network, only if it has adequate traffic of packets to intercept... others support "packet injection".. so if there is no traffic, you can create it. [11:12] erfiug: iptables is bulit in. sudo apt-get install firestarter gives u a nice gui frontend. [11:12] jrib: Great. Thanks for the reassurance! [11:12] Ken8521: how do i find out my chipset? [11:13] xbonesx, lspci in a terminal will show you most likely [11:13] rookie1, tubii: actually, www.jewbuntu.com is real :) [11:13] etheretic: I am only capable to stablish a connection to a service from the same machine, not remotely, how can I diagnosticate the problem? [11:13] k [11:13] k [11:13] Ken8521: 0b:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4328 802.11a/b/g/n (rev 03) [11:13] I'm trying to install a vpn server on my ubuntu CLI. I've been following a very confusing guide online, but it says I have to modify my server.conf file. I don't seem to have one (??) [11:14] xbonesx, ok.. i'm not sure.. but i don't think broadcom supports packet injection... but use your google-fo [11:14] erfiug: [11:14] ? [11:14] dnc [11:14] Ken852: what about the aircrack? [11:14] etheretic: it's ext3 not etc3 [11:14] what about it? [11:14] Ken8521: sry i meant the intel 5100 card... [11:15] well, intel cards, typically have intel chipsets... but i don't know if they support injection or not. [11:15] xbonesx, like i said, google. [11:15] Hello, how are you? [11:15] hello, I'm trying to compile conntrack from source on ubuntu, and I get this ... configure: error: Cannot find libnfnetlink >= 1.0.0 [11:15] Ken8521: k thanks [11:15] ilovefairuz: oh ah yes - thank you. :) [11:15] probably has "more security configurations that a Shin Bet operation" [11:17] robert83a2: you need the development package for libnfnetlink, try sudo apt-get libnfnetlink-dev [11:17] ilovefairuz: so /dev/sdb1 /mnt/Black1-5T ext3 defaults 0 0 is right? [11:17] hey guys [11:17] oh thankyou [11:17] Any idea how to change the login screen? [11:17] » MagPulse » Hello, how are you? [11:17] The option seem to have been removed. [11:17] MagPulse, use ubuntu twak or gdm2setup [11:18] tweak* [11:18] AbhiJit, thanks. [11:18] jbl : still the same error, I've install pkg_config libnfnetlink-dev [11:19] AbhiJit, is ubuntu tweak or gdm2setup in the repositories? [11:19] robert83a2: which version of ubuntu are you on? [11:19] MagPulse, no [11:19] ubuntu tweak is useless really [11:20] agree. [11:20] This new upgrade seems like a downgrade. [11:20] its like the same options just bundled...useless app [11:20] 8.04 [11:20] What's with these wierd changes to ubuntu. [11:20] I've always been able to change the login screen. [11:21] and what's with the bundling of UBuntu one with the OS, it's not like the users have a lack of cloud storage services. [11:21] robert83a2: 8.04 has an old version of this package, <= 0.0.30 so that's not going to be easy [11:21] MagPulse: things may have changed with grub2. [11:21] damn [11:21] *cough archlinux cough* [11:21] jbl : is there a way to somehow fix this ? [11:21] is evil mac available in whole package, or i have to manually? [11:21] makefile? [11:22] *cough upgrade, hardy sucked cough* [11:22] lol [11:22] ^^ [11:22] etheretic, oh, yeah. [11:22] an 8.04-10.04 upgrade should be easy enough [11:22] MagPulse: different system for splashscrrens, afaicr. [11:23] but i'd prboably rather clean install it. [11:23] if I change configure file LIBNFNETLINK_REQUIRED ... to 0.0.20 ? [11:23] I just through that from the point of banding Canonical thought it was better to have a unified UI. [11:23] * etheretic afk's [11:23] robert83a2: you could try that, but there is probably a reason why this needs 1.0.0 [11:23] i never liked upgrading releases of ubuntu. clean installs seem the better option [11:24] terminhell, i agree.. just saying.. the option is ther [11:24] terminhell, backing up all the data and reinstalling program is a hassel [11:24] Ken8521: ya, its an option, but as long as you properly partition /home.... [11:24] terminhell, It's not like there;s a diff between cleann install and upgrade.. same file changes. [11:24] and reapplying all the changes made to the system [11:25] page up [11:25] MagPulse: ive had hickups upgrading in the past [11:25] {page up [11:25] MagPulse, not really..i keep very current backups, so it only takes me about 20-30min to clean install, as opposed to however long it takes to download and install allt hose upgrades. [11:25] how is it possible that when i say "sudo umount /dev/sdf1" which already tells me that sdf1 is not mounted e2fsck tells me that warning, that sdf1 is mounted and i could cause severe filesystem damage? [11:25] terminhell, eh.. i don't worry about that... i don't even bother keeping /home separate [11:25] hi all [11:25] i just nuke / [11:25] Ken8521, and reapplying all those settings? [11:25] ha [11:26] hi hi [11:26] hi dyllan [11:26] ...anyone know with wath rule can iptables kill a live connection? [11:26] how to ignore parts and quits in Empathy for freenode ? [11:26] That is why not who doesn't want to communicate with me? [11:26] joa__: does mount say it is mounted? [11:26] MagPulse, it's not that difficult.. i have a txt file w/ my backup, says exactly how all my programs are setup.. when I reinstall the programs I want, i just roll through and configure them all how I want them... doesn't take long at all. [11:26] sdf1 and its mount point do not show up in lsof either [11:26] I'm trying conntrack because I have created a script that creates drop rules for bad IP's... but their connection is not terminated [11:26] Is there any way to lockdown the desktop wallpaper of all my users, I know Pessulus is a lockdown editor but it does not have support for locking down the wallpaper. I dont want users to change the Desktop Background. thanks [11:26] MagPulse, now this would probably be more difficult if i was running a server, or something like that [11:26] Ken8521, ah, I didn't know you can automate those things [11:27] MagPulse, but just being a average-slightly above average user... it's easy [11:27] robert with a drop rule? [11:27] to be exact I do a rule like this [11:27] MagPulse, it's not automated, I have to do it.. .when I say I "record" them.. i record it for my notes, so i don't have to think..lol [11:27] iptables -I asterisk -s $ip -j DROP [11:27] this works...after he/she disconnects [11:27] acicula: well sdf1 is mounted to /mnt/ebs and /mnt/ebs/abc is mounted to /var/lib/abc. sdf1 does not show up in mount, but /mnt/ebs/... shows up [11:27] I need to have a rule to terminate living connections... without using conntrack [11:27] i guess you could backup individual config files though, never really thought about that. [11:28] do i have to umount those as well? [11:28] since I cannot get it working on this ancient ubuntu [11:28] robert83a2: err maybe that just looks for syns [11:28] echo "" > /proc/net/ip_conntrack I guess wont work [11:28] evil mac is pretty cool [11:28] whats evil mac? [11:28] !evil mac [11:28] terminhell: no it's theme [11:29] oh... [11:29] terminhell: a bit dark [11:29] acicula: well i cannot umount those since i umounted sdf1 already so is that the issue then? [11:29] robert83a2: http://www.networksecurityarchive.org/html/Firewalls/2005-09/msg00011.html [11:29] juk: ah, i use custom themes :p [11:30] does anybody know why this fails to run in crontab: */1 * * * * /home/backup/bin/backup_script [11:30] tl;dr it filters on syn so you have to explicitly kill existing connections? [11:30] i don't like real light, or real dark.. my themes need to be right in the middle. http://s82.photobucket.com/albums/j263/IndyGunFreak/?action=view¤t=laptopmaverick.jpg [11:30] sup yall [11:30] Ken8521: you should checkout my current theme :) [11:30] joa__: dunno, do programs still have references open to the filesystem? does it still show in mount? any info in the open file list (lsof | more) [11:30] terminhell, naa... i like my current one. [11:31] sup h4x07 [11:31] Ken8521: justa screenshot? [11:31] oh i didn't see you post it. [11:31] havnt yet, can i pm?

[11:36] i posted the commands and settings i used for the setup [11:36] http://forum.ubuntuusers.de/topic/samba-freigabe-mit-vordefinierten-rechten-und-/ [11:36] etheretic: yes [11:36] i have googled already to solve my problem, but icant find the mistake [11:36] collis,? [11:37] Andreas`: if windows and linux clients work ok it looks like a Mac OSX bug; isn't it? ( or missconfiguration ) [11:39] erUSUL: maybe [11:39] Hi all! I [11:39] but i don't know if this is possible [11:39] if this is possible, that a buggy client can set custom rights, then its a big security problem [11:39] or not? [11:39] Andreas`: any way to get an english version :p [11:40] terminhell: i will translate it and post it on pastebin [11:40] give me 5minutes [11:40] Andreas`: try setting different permissions from within ubuntu or windows on files on the share, are you sure you are forcing the right user/permissions on files created on the share? [11:41] Hi all! I am having some problems with installing Grub and was wondering if anyone could help? [11:41] its possible you come across a bug, but this seems more likely to be a configuration error [11:42] Hey everyone :D Can anyone help with this problem? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1587558 [11:42] best just to go ahead and ask magnuso or look on the grub wiki page [11:43] MooshiMuushi: why are you setting a static ip and why in the 102.x range? [11:44] OK. I have been trying to clone my installation to a new disk, using dd, following this tutorial (http://www.arsgeek.com/2008/01/22/how-to-clone-your-bootable-ubuntu-install-to-another-drive/).... Have had som issues installing Grub, but I thought I had done it correctly. When booting from the new disk I only get the message "Grub loading.... Error 15" [11:44] did you reinstall grub? [11:44] !grub [11:44] grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. [11:45] acicula, Static IP address? [11:45] you will have to tell it to reinitialize since you changed discs [11:45] acicula: the ps3 network is not connected to the internet. ps3 <-- cat5 --> pc [11:45] ah [11:45] *ding* [11:46] Hey Greppy :) Still haven't figured it out... [11:46] I see that. === histo_ is now known as histo [11:46] hm. a different question is.. i have an xfs system that was on a 20gb and is now on a 100gb hdd. calling xfs_growfs /mnt/... does not do anything. same with -d. is there some stupid mistake im doing? [11:46] @ubottu I am not sure wether its Grub or Grub2. How would i know? [11:47] so is the ps3 connected to the internet then? since it has a 192.x ip? [11:47] Nope, it's only connected to the PC. That has internet. [11:47] right [11:47] and if you connect to the internet you are using the wireless, and you have the 102.x ip, and then it all works? [11:48] The PC eth0 ip address is set to 192.168.1.9. I made the PS3 to connect to the 192.168.1.9 with an ip address of 192.168.1.10 [11:48] ah ok i understand [11:48] The PC is connected to the internet using wlan0. That has an ip address of 192.168.1.4 [11:49] kk [11:50] MooshiMuushi do you not know how to set a static address in the network manager? or you do that, plugin, drop out.... [11:50] its a routing issue really. you have to use a different ip range ofr you internal network. use 192.168.2.x for your ethernet <-> ps3 connection, and make sure it has a static route for only that ip adres. right now it probably gets confused where to send the traffic [11:50] I´m not sure how to install Grub. I have cloned my installation to a new disk using dd, and noe the new disk wont boot. [11:50] Any ideas? [11:50] magnuso: err tbh im not really sure how you can tell which one is in use === DarkStar1_ is now known as DarkStar1 [11:51] especially since you cant boot it. is it an original 10.04 install? [11:51] okay this is the translation of my problem [11:51] http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/xjxyGBSU [11:51] MooshiMuushi: i think you can get away with it by removing your changes to the itnerfaces file [11:51] acicula: Yes. It is a Server-install though [11:52] acicula: then he cannot access the PS3 [11:52] terminhell: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/xjxyGBSU [11:52] and then in networkmanager configure a static ip, and tick the only only use for resourcse on this network box [11:52] magnuso: have you tried unetbootin? [11:53] iflema, I do that, plugin and drop out. [11:53] its under the routes button under ipv4, fill in static IP and toggle the options at the bottom [11:53] think that should fix the routes for you [11:53] terminhell: I have no idea what that is, but if you tell me I´ll have a go! :-) [11:53] acicula, I know, But when I plug in with the "no change" with the interfaces file. The internet will drop out. [11:53] acicula, I'll check out the 192.168.2.x [11:54] MooshiMuushi: thats because by default ubuntu will switch to the wired connection [11:54] just try setting a configuring a static ip and ticking the route box [11:55] magnuso: you'll need unetbootin to make a bootdisk/stick so you can chroot into your cloned disk and run the commands to reinitalize grub or grub2 [11:55] well or anything else that can make a bootdisk/cd [11:56] acicula, So, what should I do? Change the PS3's and the PC's (eth0) ip address? [11:56] acicula: I am still able to boot into the installation on the old drive. Is that of any help? [11:57] acicula: im not really familure with macos, but its based in bsd....so eh, hmmm everything you have so far looks good so far [11:57] yeah use 192.168.2.x network for your pc<->ps3 [11:59] I tried that, with 223.0.0.1 and 223.0.0.2. PC = 1, PS3 = 2. I then told the PS3 that the gateway is 223.0.01. THerefore telling it to connect to the PS3, but in the end the internet will drop out with the wireless. [11:59] acicula: the only thing i can suggest for macos is to make sure its using the same network domain you have in place [11:59] magnuso: yeah you can use that to chroot into your new disk as well [11:59] bom dia [11:59] acicula, I tried that, with 223.0.0.1 and 223.0.0.2. PC = 1, PS3 = 2. I then told the PS3 that the gateway is 223.0.01. THerefore telling it to connect to the PS3, but in the end the internet will drop out with the wireless. [11:59] acicula: How would I proceed? [11:59] terminhell: its Andreas asking about the macos/thing [12:00] Andreas`: refere to my past few comments to acicula :p [12:00] i am using Ubuntu 10.04 OS and in vmware i have installed Windows ser 2003.. From ubuntu i am trying to connect windows server 2003 virtual machine, but its showing this message "port 22: Connection refused"... so plz. guide me.. [12:00] acicula: sorry [12:00] MooshiMuushi: setting a gateway is telling your pc which way to send traffic for the internet. you dont need to set a gateway for the pc<->ps3 connection [12:00] why are you using a class A network for your lan [12:01] !grub > acicula [12:01] acicula, please see my private message [12:01] awanti, do you have vbox setup to call for it's own IP from the router? [12:02] terminhell: ah, okay i read it now... the network is not a domain based network. its a workgroup [12:03] and all pcs have "WORKGROUP" as workgroup [12:03] Hello! Does anyone know who imports the package for the Arora browser? A new version has just come out, and there's a bug in the one that's available in apt [12:03] Andreas`: hope that helped [12:03] magnuso: the wiki page list on the top how to recover using a livecd, but i think the process is exactly the same if you boot using your old system [12:04] halp? http://ubuntuforums.com/showthread.php?9923153 [12:04] Oh, and I can't get into Launchpad to file a bug right now [12:04] MooshiMuushi are the netowork cards broadcoms? and if so, is the wireless using the b43 driver? [12:04] you just ahve to make sure that you specify the correct (new) drive name, as i assume you are still booting from sda, and the cloned disk is on /dev/sdb [12:05] tricky tricky [12:05] isn't linux fun?! [12:06] iflema: his wireless works, hes having trouble getting wireless network connectivity to coexist with a separate local network with a ps3 [12:06] acicula exactly.... [12:06] bridge the connections [12:06] how does it being broadcom factor into that? [12:06] or set the pc as an adhoc [12:07] Sorry, back :D [12:07] it seems a routing/ip setup problem rather then a driver issue or? [12:07] acicula STA's wl can conflict with b43's ssb =) [12:07] since nm tries to be smart and prefer wired connections over wireless? [12:07] if the pc is hardwired, set the connection as an adhoc [12:07] acicula i mean b44's ssb [12:07] iflema: im not sure what you mean [12:07] patel [12:08] Wait, the PS3 doesn't have a gateway, but the DNS is set as 192.168.1.9 (That IP address is to the PC). [12:08] hi [12:08] hi teacher [12:08] And I have no idea if my device is a broadcom. [12:08] Hi. [12:08] MooshiMuushi: lspci [12:08] out of curiousity, why cant you connect the PS3 to your wireless hub, assuming it also ahve a switch? [12:09] hey all, was wondering if somone could assist me getting my intergrated webcam to work in ubuntu 10.04? [12:09] PC to PS3 wireless takes a long time to stream. [12:09] taffy-nay, webcams are shaky w/ linux.

[12:09] MooshiMuushi: run lspci command [12:10] have you considered plugging your laptop into your switch also then? saves you setting up separate networks [12:10] iflema: what do you mean by STA and ssb ? [12:10] Hi, could anyone tell me where I can find a Macbook Line-in Microphone driver for Ubuntu Lynx? [12:11] Plugging it to a switch? [12:11] your wireless accespoint, does it have ethernet connections [12:11] Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG [Golan] Network Connection (rev 02) [12:11] i can't format and mount my DVD-RW,what i have to do? [12:12] No idea O.o [12:12] T.T [12:13] well have a looksie, as what you want should also work without setting things up by plugging in both the ps3 and your laptop into the switch on your wireless access point [12:13] hey [12:13] ;) [12:13] i am trying to install from the mini.iso [12:13] acicula broadcom cards can use one of two drivers. One of which is the wl driver. The wl driver can conlict with the ssb module which is required by the b43 (wireless) and b44 (ethernet) [12:13] He evry one [12:13] but it doesnt pick up my nic drivers Atheros AR8151 and i cannot complete the install. could anyone help me out on what to do next? [12:14] iflema: ah like so, that can not be the case here however, since his wireless already works and driver selection wont change when he plugs in an ethernet cable [12:14] halp? ubuntuforums.com/showthread.php?9923153 [12:14] merciza: can you try the normal installation iso? [12:14] the minimal install is kinda, minimal [12:15] :D [12:15] heretic, try posting a proper link [12:15] Hmm. [12:15] merciza: or you have to add the driver to the mini.iso or load it during install [12:15] better? ^^ http://www.ubuntuforums.com/showthread.php?9923153 [12:16] heretic: this is not an advertisement channel, just try asking a question? [12:16] heretic, still coming up invalid [12:16] Give me a second. I'm going to change the PS3's IP to 192.168.2.10 and the PC's (eth0) to 192.168.2.9? [12:16] you fail [12:16] Ken8521, acicula sorry haha [12:16] acicula what if one uses wl for the wireless, for whatever reason, and has a b44 ethernet..... [12:16] So I just installed the Maverick RC that was promoted on the front page [12:16] and I can only use safe video mode [12:17] iflema: the b44 driver would already be loaded at boot i think? [12:17] heretic, guess you should've waited till it was released [12:17] Ken8521, well, its working fine on my other computer [12:18] heretic: try asking in the #ubuntu+1 channel [12:18] acicula, okay [12:19] i have tried the normal install and it works great, I would like to know how to get the driver into the mini.iso. hehe. btw thanks for answering, it seems u helping everyone today [12:20] How can I stop ubuntu from writing ".Trash-1000" folders to my usb devices? It's really annoying when I delete files from my usb device in order to try to clear space only to realise it didn't actually clear any space === wam_ is now known as Guest56659 [12:20] What about firestarter? [12:20] how can i change the port vnc runs on?

[12:20] zipp0: no [12:21] MooshiMuushi: just following suggestions would help, which you arent doing, which makes helping you rather difficult [12:21] !update-rc.d [12:21] ikonia, whereabouts?

[12:21] zipp0: you use that to control what scripts start and stop when the computer boots. [12:22] hi [12:22] histo: thanks :) [12:22] puneet: A bat file for windows? Is that a joke? I'm using ubuntu. [12:22] anyone can help me? [12:22] zipp0: yo0u can start he script manually if you don't want to reboot [12:22] histo: how can i do that? [12:22] zipp0: sudo /etc/init.d/scriptname start stop whatever [12:22] I'm new on ubuntu and I wan;t to know everything on ubuntu... [12:22] acicula, Give me a second. Restarting. [12:23] where is the inbuilt VNC server's conf file? [12:23] @conv123 In ubuntu you wont be bothered by .Trash-1000 folder, until you press ctrl+H ;) [12:23] exit [12:23] gamerx: vino [12:23] histo, vino? [12:23] conb123: default behaviour is to trrash instead of delete, press shift-delete to avoid trashing a file [12:24] nafetss: starting with what [12:24] theres a gnome setting to add a 'delete, dont move to trash' menu item also [12:24] acicula: Can't I make ubuntu trash files to my hard drive instead of the usb device? [12:24] conb123: maybe you can disable Trash altogether for USB devices, but you'll have to google that [12:24] gamerx: I believe vino is the default vnc server still [12:24] From when can I get information [12:24] the binar code etc [12:24] histo, do you happen to know where it keeps conf files? [12:24] gamerx: I would assume it will create a config file in ~ after you start desktop sharing. If not it would be in /etc/ [12:24] @nafetss explore, here and there googling is the best option ... there is no hard and fast book available for ubuntu which teaches you every thing [12:24] nafetss: check the wiki to start... [12:24] conb123: if you deleted a 4gb file on the USB drive.. that would mean it would MOVE 4gb to your home, which you may delete moments later.. [12:25] ok thanks [12:25] I'll do this [12:25] Dr_Willis: Right I'll use shift and delete then [12:25] a question ! please [12:25] nafetss: just ask [12:26] what do you think I need to read first? [12:26] srry my bad english [12:26] !manual | nafetss [12:26] nafetss: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ [12:26] nafetss: any sort of ubuntu for dummies or debian related topics [12:26] histo: i run /etc/init.d/scriptname, then run ps -aux |grep scriptname and this is result: [12:26] root 18951 0.0 0.0 3004 760 pts/1 R+ 18:23 0:00 grep shutdown_server [12:26] histo, i cant find any vino/vnc files in either of those locations [12:26] !manul [12:26] @nafetss start with www.ubuntu.com explore the site, download ubuntu manual [12:26] histo: is that ok? [12:26] gamerx: the only thing I see on a default ssytem is /eetc/xdg/autostart/vino-server.desktop [12:27] histo: i wrote that script for shutdown server when power outage [12:27] ok thanks [12:27] i wiill see that [12:27] the ubuntu wiki also has a lot of usefull information as does ubuntuguide.org [12:27] @nafetss manual is here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-manual [12:27] zipp0: looks like its running then [12:27] histo: thanks :D [12:27] and in different languages also [12:27] zipp0: pull the plug and see [12:28] I wan;t to know how I use the shell and everythin about ubuntu [12:28] guys : tcpkill on a firewall works for all connections ? I mean not just local but forwarded also? [12:28] gamerx: s/etc/eetc [12:28] acicula, Hmm, connected the ethernet cable, but I can't get the PS3 to find me. [12:28] nafetss: thats good do you have a question? [12:28] nafetss: glad to see your enthusiasm, any sort of beginners linux guide will also help [12:28] MooshiMuushi: can you describe your current setup that you have right now thats not working? [12:28] I have a lot of questions.... [12:28] nafetss: also look for gnome GUI guides too [12:29] @nafetss patience, my dear friend . It takes time to learn things. start exploring and reading articles relating to it. [12:29] ok ! [12:29] and the last question ... [12:29] robert83a2: id assume so, maybe there is anything about the capabilities in the doc/man page? [12:29] nafetss: most important, forget about windows or mac, your not using it, things work different here ;) [12:30] robert83a2: actually forwarding is subject to forwarding rules [12:30] I wan't to teach some programing . What languange is recomanded to me ? Python ? c++ or what?_ [12:30] I'm a begginer [12:30] acicula : to tcpkill wont be able to kill that ? [12:30] robert83a2: so you should be able to kill forwards by selectively refusing forwards? [12:30] nafetss: Python. [12:30] I'm a user of windows and I hate IT [12:30] The PC's (eth0) IP address is 192.168.2.9. The PS3's IP address is 192.168.2.10 -also, the PS3's dns address is 192.168.2.9- [12:30] because is a fucking sheet srry [12:30] acicula : I need to kill established connections [12:30] robert83a2: well forwards arent a real connection for the local machine, at best it just tracks state for things like NAT? [12:30] Wooh, no swearing. [12:31] ahh [12:31] @nafetss languages are just for our help to make things easier . if you know basics of C you can moove to C++ or python, else start with C. [12:31] so it would be best to do this on the machine that I'm forwarding to... [12:31] MooshiMuushi: did you togle route options? [12:31] MooshiMuushi: what are you trying to do? [12:31] nafetss: there are tons of ubuntu guides to be found in Google. so fire up firefox and start researching :) [12:32] ok THX [12:32] @terminhell totally agree [12:32] acicula, How do I do that? [12:32] but I don't know what I learn first [12:32] nafetss: and welcome to the other side >:D [12:32] nafetss: start with that ubuntu manual, then read up on whatever other topics interest you. [12:33] ok I'LL come back with more questions if u don;t mind [12:33] histo, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1587558 [12:33] nafetss: get familiar with synaptics package manager and the command line version "apt-get" fast [12:34] nafetss: thats your most reliable way of installing new programs [12:34] MooshiMuushi: in networkmanager where you set the IP at the bottom there is a route button, click it and toggle the only use for resources on this network [12:34] yes [12:34] i can install programs with [12:34] ubuntu software center , it haves a lot [12:34] acicula, Got it. How do I toggle it? [12:35] click it [12:35] nafetss: but learn to use "apt-get" too, most people will tell you to "apt-get install 'program' " [12:35] I don't know how i start [12:35] acicula, And enter the PS3's info? or the PCs? [12:35] nafetss: the terminal [12:35] acicula, this is for eth0 right? [12:35] MooshiMuushi: It seems that you're making this more complicated than it actually is. [12:36] MooshiMuushi: all you need to set for eth0 is the static ip and the route option [12:36] MooshiMuushi: what did you mean by the only way to get internet again is to reset the code that I teyped in back to default and restart? [12:36] !cli | nafetss [12:36] nafetss: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal or type in it: man intro [12:37] acicula, I clicked on the "route" button, and then a window came up. [12:37] yeah, toggle the option at the bottom and click ok [12:37] histo, Have the default /etc/network/interfaces code. [12:38] acicula, Done. [12:38] acicula, Apply? [12:38] histo, he has a wirelses network that works, and a ps3. wants to connect directly via ethernet because wirelses is to slow without loosing internet on the laptop [12:38] is there a way to move a file or directory out of a directory in which it was locked and remove the permissions??? [12:38] MooshiMuushi: network manager is blowing out that file. [12:38] MooshiMuushi: yeh [12:38] acicula: ahh [12:39] MooshiMuushi: follow acicula [12:39] for instance, i moved a .deb out of the archive and its still locked??? [12:39] histo, Ok. [12:39] acicula, Ok, got. Applied it. [12:39] xbonesx: copy it. , then delete the original.. or let the original alone and delete it later.. [12:39] directly wireing both to the access point would be easier, since the PS3 sortof wants to connect to the internet also, so i suppose the next step would be setting up ics, but that all seems horribly convoluted compared to just pluggin both into the AP, but ohwell [12:39] xbonesx: didnt you mean dpkg/apt-get is locked instead of a deb-file? [12:40] MooshiMuushi: plug in the ethernet cable and ping google or something [12:40] or jsut open a webpage if you dont know how [12:40] acicula, By the way. The interface code is the default. [12:40] Dr_Willis: when i "mv" it to my desktop it appears to be locked still, (shows the lock symbol) [12:40] MooshiMuushi: thats good [12:41] acicula, It's plugged in. I'm going to restart. [12:41] acicula, brb. [12:41] dont need tor start [12:41] it applies directly [12:43] i know this is a bit much, but could anyone generate a mini.iso with ar8151 support or atl1e.ko [12:43] xbonesx: thats just showing the file permissions. [12:43] xbonesx: chmod/chown it as needed [12:43] which means i can still use it as i choose? [12:43] without being stopped anyway [12:43] xbonesx: if you own the file.. you can do whatever you want it... [12:44] Albert [12:44] ok [12:44] xbonesx: ive no idea what you are trying to do with it... [12:44] Dr_Willis: lol its a gtk theme, that i want to extract and edit [12:44] xbonesx: your use of the term 'locked' is not correct... its 'permissions' on the file. [12:45] merciza: its relatively straigt forward, unpack the initrd, add driver, repackage and recreat the iso? [12:45] Dr_Willis: thank you for the correction, shall term that way from here on out ;) [12:45] can any one help to enable and disable checkbox to give authentication to users in bottom approachbottom [12:45] xbonesx: you can install the theme, then edit the files in your .theme/whatever dir also... [12:46] Dr_Willis: probably an easy question for you, i have a hdd hooked up to usb, i want to create a shortcut for a certain dir on the device, and save it too my desktop, can this be done? [12:46] mahiti: I think you need to clarify what you are doing .. that question has me totally confused. [12:46] Dr_Willis: ya i thought about that afterwards lol [12:46] wait [12:47] xbonesx: mount the disk, and drive the directory to favourites in nautilus, should show up under your places then [12:47] xbonesx: trivial, click, drag. hold down alt key (you will see a ? in the cursor) release where you want, select make link.. (i think) [12:47] acicula, Back. The ethernet is connected. The Ethernet Connection was established. === xuekan is now known as rabbit_kan [12:47] Dr_Willis: yep TY [12:47] xbonesx: you proberly want a fstab entry so the usb disk is mounted at boot also..

[12:50] acicula, If the computer is getting ping response from the ip address. That means that it is connected right?

[12:53] how can i mount the share folder in oracle VM virtualbox [12:53] umashanthi: depends on what teh reposuitory is.. You could set it up to use other repos. [12:54] umashanthi: check which repositories are failing, maybe they have gone offline or are have been moved. [12:54] Dr_Willis: acicula How to set the repos? [12:54] umashanthi: under software sources in adminstration [12:54] mar_33: the vbox manual detailed the exact mount commands needed. I think you need th Guest addations enabled also on the guest os.. and the 'shared dir' set up in the settings.. then it can be mounted as you would any other samba share. I think.. [12:55] umashanthi: first. whats the repo that its giving an error about? [12:55] !vbox [12:55] virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available from the package 'virtualbox-ose'.

[12:57] mar_33: You need to insstall teh vbox guest addations. [12:57] hi. Nautilus' folder view doesn't update anymore if new files are placed in the viewed directory (I always have to refresh manually). how can I enable that again? [12:58] greppy, Well, tell me when you get back :) [12:58] mar_33: and you 'share' the directory in the vbox settings, its not the same as a 'windows share' [12:58] acicula: yes. I have shell access. How can I make the changes? [12:58] how can i do that because i have not internet connection [12:58] mar_33: you COULD use a windows share as iff the 2 where networked.

(or down) [12:58] cutiyar: be more specific pleaseeeee [12:59] greppy, That's better :D [12:59] its huwei modem [12:59] JuJuBee: the real errors are probably higher up in the log [13:00] JuJuBee: or just try reinstalling the offending packages [13:00] acicula: What changes to be done?

[13:08] thecaptain2000: means very little to me.. I just knew the bot had a search feature... [13:08] JuJuBee: there isnt a package called reqtimeout, so its not a dependency problem, judging by the the rror its the apache configure script that fails [13:08] thecaptain2000: running "dpkg-query -S contrib-global.mk" should give you the package providing the file [13:08] ok [13:09] cutiyar: erm, what does lsusb say about the modem [13:09] ---> dpkg: *contrib-global.mk* not found.

It is slow [13:19] manfredrasta: what kind of video? [13:19] manfredrasta: do you mean video playback, or the desktop itself... [13:20] lmk: if it helps nearly all ethernet nics that arent from the stone age, hardly any wireless unless they are completely open [13:20] i want to go with minimal distribution and install everything else i via network - but i want to know if specific network card drivers are included in minimal iso. [13:20] histo, ActionParsnip things like youtube [13:20] including usb nic ? [13:20] manfredrasta: you could try flash sqaured [13:20] manfredrasta: squared [13:20] hi === Liammm is now known as Liammm|AFK [13:20] lmk: again, if its ethernet, then yeah probably [13:20] histo, im noob. What is it? [13:20] manfredrasta: ok can you use: http://pastie.org to give the output of: uname -a; lsb_release -a; dpkg -l | grep flash; dpkg -l | grep gnash; dpkg -l | grep swf [13:20] histo, and i use lubuntu [13:21] manfredrasta: you should have said youtube was slow instead of "video", its waaay clearer [13:21] ActionParsnip, sorry [13:21] lmk: you can do a minimal install and perhaps even a network isntall from the alternate install cd too i think? [13:21] ActionParsnip, im using lubuntu [13:21] histo, what do you mean by squared [13:21] I have a drive that currently has three partitions on it that i can see using sudo fdisk -l... however when i use sudo cfdisk /dev/sdb1 i don't see the same information... i need to repartion the drive to have only one partition as it is only to be used to backup files [13:21] !mp3 [13:21] For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [13:21] manfredrasta: newest version of flash [13:21] ActionParsnip, but i think also my desktop could be faster [13:22] how can i accomplish this? [13:22] manfredrasta: we'll see [13:22] hi [13:22] histo, how do i install it? im new [13:22] acicula, what i do after installing these? [13:22] helpmeplease: you run fdisk on the drive, not the partition [13:22] ActionParsnip, are those commands also valid for lubuntu? [13:22] acicula: thanks, that seems to have done the trick [13:22] helpmeplease: /dev/sdb is a disk /dev/sdb1 is a partition [13:22] manfredrasta: well basically uninstall whatever version you have now and download it from labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html [13:22] JuJuBee: sweet [13:22] manfredrasta: then you can put it in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins [13:22] manfredrasta: yes, they will work on any linux, the only difference between lubuntu and ubuntu are the default apps, you dont have some different OS [13:23] cutiyar: does the device show up in network manager after plugging it in? ( you may have to reboot for it to take effect) [13:23] i have got one that works (based on realtek chipset) and one that does not (i dont even know what chipset that is as my linux does not recognise it, and that one is newer) - i want to get ax88772 based usb nic - can someone confirm that it works with minimal iso without any additional drivers? [13:23] how do you move a directory? [13:23] "mv" what? [13:23] xbonesx: yep, mv will move directories too [13:23] just "mv"? [13:23] lmk: you're unlikely to get that confirmed here, google, try, or pray for it to work [13:24] lmk the alternate cd will allow you to do a network install also [13:24] histo, 32bit or 64bit? [13:24] ActionParsnip, i get the following upon sudo cfdisk /dev/sdb: FATAL ERROR: Bad primary partition 1: Partition ends in the final partial cylind [13:24] xbonesx: mv folder /path/to/destination [13:24] manfredrasta: Do you have a 32bit or 64bit distro installed? [13:24] helpmeplease: doesn't sound healthy, can gparted do anything with it? [13:24] so i need to be in the parent dir in order to move a folder? [13:24] manfredrasta: uname -a in a terminal will tell you. [13:25] nvm i figured it out [13:25] histo, thanks [13:25] hi BT does not work anymore since 8.04 ...can you help me? [13:25] thanks [13:25] manfredrasta: waiting for the output dude.... [13:25] 8.04 or 9.04 [13:25] rek: 9.04 dies next month [13:25] ActionParsnip, i can mount /dev/sdb1 and it appears to be fine... so i don't know what youi mean by healthy.. what is gparted? there is no man page for it on my system... unless it needs to be installed... and why would it be a problem with gparted [13:26] ActionParsnip: i'm running lucid and i can't use the bt [13:26] helpmeplease: i suggest you fsck it when it is unmounted, as well as the other partitions [13:26] manfredrasta: most likely you are running 32bit if you don't know [13:26] Good morning all. Is anyone familiar with moving GRUB to a USB device. I want to install GRUB to a thumb drive so that the machine will not boot up without the thumb drive plugged in. I do not want the entire OS on a thumb drive - the OS is installed on a machine already. I just want GRUB on the thumb drive so that the machine will not boot the OS without it plugged in.

[13:29] rek: maybe thats why then.... [13:29] manfredrasta: after its downloaded remove you current version of flash installed then put it in /lib/usr/mozilla/plugins [13:29] what [13:29] histo, first id like to uninstall the falsh plug in already installed [13:30] helpmeplease: if its an option, then it could be used as a last effort [13:30] histo, how do i remove it? [13:30] histo, from synaptics? [13:30] rek: you dont have the hcitool command which scans for bluetooth devices, get it installed and you should be fine [13:30] manfredrasta: sudo apt-get --purge remove  flashplugin-installer ; sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [13:31] ActionParsnip: can't find packages [13:31] and so is there any *working* voice recognition software in Ubuntu amd64? [13:31] ActionParsnip: i can scan with the gui [13:31] rek sudo apt-get install bluez bluez-utils gnome-bluetooth libobexftp0 [13:31] and then sudo service bluetooth restart [13:31] rek: dpkg -S hcitool will show you the package it is part of [13:31] xbonesx: no problem. The permisions are in binary, so it goes 4, 2, 1, for read, write, exicute. Also, it has three classes, User, Group, Other. So if I wanted to give the user all permisions, the group just read and exicute, and other (everyone else) no access, I would do: chmod 750. [13:31] pksadiq: not really, not free anyway [13:31] then try running the command ActionParsnip gave you [13:32] acicula: i have those packages but i have kde [13:32] pksadiq: except do you mean continuous voice dictation or just command recognition? if the latter, then there is probably something [13:32] acicula: i try to teach how to fish rather than distributing mackerel :) [13:32] agentgasmask: can i just use the permissions tap on the GUI to change them? [13:32] Hi. does "dmesg" print out all boot messages? [13:32] LjL I saw many which is free, but not for end Users, but only for devolopers :( [13:32] how do i remove an old kernel in 10.04 ? [13:32] ActionParsnip, done, should i paste you the result. Seems no errors [13:33] rek: err dont use gnome-bluetooth then but search for whatever kubuntu uses for a bluetooth applet [13:33] pksadiq: "many"? there is Sphinx and... that's about it.

[13:44] xbonesx: extract the archive to that directgory. or install it for your one user, see whats in their .theme directory and copy the dirs over to the /usr/share/themes [13:44] xbonesx: theres 'themes' then theres 'theme parts' also :) dont get confused by the 2 [13:44] Dr_Willis: now i did the second one, i moved the dir to the the shared one, but it doesnt show that it has the correct permissions, will this effect anything? [13:44] kryptyk Better to use syslinux [13:45] GTK btw [13:45] ActionParsnip, i don't know why gparted worked and cfdisk didn't but thank you [13:45] xbonesx: you proberly want to set the system theme dirs to all have the same permissions [13:45] xbonesx: else all users might not be able to read them.

[13:51] So the alternate install, not the server install? [13:51] Rezzie: that'll fit, just dont add a graphical interface or anything unless you really enjoy drinking coffee ;) [13:51] pksadiq, well that worked and it has stopped crashing [13:51] thanx :) [13:51] kryptyk a simple livecd of any distribution and your in.... turn off cd booting and apply a bios password = only hope [13:51] Rezzie: server install works too [13:51] what wub be a good fsck option to check it , acicula : without battery its tough [13:52] acicula: Thanks [13:52] saby Welcome [13:52] hello all [13:52] kryptyk: you can juse encrypt your /home [13:52] iflema: that is the idea.

[14:06] Guest53743, not here. wrong network for that [14:06] * spinningcompass blinks [14:06] pksadiq: that applies to the bus for that device, which is not related to 64bit of your processor [14:07] AnxiousNut: it's installed now.

[14:10] acicula, its shown in networks but does not connect [14:10] cutiyar, it is very harder to use huwei modems because something has to be installed on system, but sadly the installation file is only for windows systems :( [14:10] AnxiousNut: i can ping manny and also tried sshing the IP [14:11] pksadiq: your memory adres bus is 48 bits, pcie is a point to point protocol so width is kinda moot etc. the 64bitness of your processor just applies to its microarchictecture, ie the fact that it has bigger registers and the instructions to deal with that. [14:11] how much ram do you use from a fresh boot into gnome? [14:11] acicula: my real issue her is the annoyance i get when i run synaptic package manager, it doesnt use my theme because it isnt set too root, so it displays a plain skin for it... [14:11] Aldus: just wondering - are you used to setup ssh? [14:11] cutiyar: yeah but does your internet, aside from your vpn work. as that is a prerequisite for your vpn to function [14:11] odb|fidel: not really, it's the first time, I am used to *use* it [14:12] Hmmm. I've just loaded up Ubuntu server with SSH and LAMP; when I connect from the outside world to SSH via putty, the server dumps the SSH once it reaches a command prompt.

[14:41] Robert___: gksu gedit /etc/fstab and add a # to lines 11 and 13 [14:41] my pendrive is not detected on the desktop what shall i do? [14:41] Dr_Willis, what shall i do to run the shutdown command? [14:41] acicula, i installed these [14:41] cse26: lsusb [14:42] cse26: is it showing there? [14:42] It's fairly easy to switch window buttons to the right/left, is it possible to switch them to the bottom, or move the whole title bar to the bottom if necessary? [14:42] phanindraramesh_: never needed to.. you can make cron jobs that run as the root user i belive... [14:42] Robert___: or you can add 'noauto' to the parameters so they are still available if you want them later. [14:42] :LIST [14:42] no [14:42] phanindraramesh_: just change the username to root [14:42] M00R1Z: this is not a file shareing channel :) [14:42] sorry capslock was on, didn't mean to [14:43] sinisterstuf, I don't think you can with metacity (the default app that draws the window borders) but I think you can with some other window border drawing programs [14:43] cse26: alright try removing the thumbdrive then dmesg -c then reinsert the drive and see if dmesg has any info on it. [14:43] shutdown -c [14:43] shutdown: Need to be root === Gary_ is now known as Gary [14:43] Dr_Willis: ? [14:43] it depends on the distri if shutdown needs root or not - on ubuntu it should need it afaik [14:44] There may be some user runable shutdown/reboot commands, or you could (NOT a good idea) set the suid bit on the shutdown command. [14:44] bobstro, if i change the user name to root, the computer will be shutdown for every user at that time right?? [14:44] edbian thanks [14:44] anyone know of a good logging service that can take log messages from multiple servers? Something like rsyslog, but able to take logs in any format [14:44] Hey guys - how do you access "Network Settings"? It's not under System->Administration as in an article I am reading... [14:44] phanindraramesh_: that is what shutdown means, yes. what did you want to happen? [14:44] phanindraramesh_: your use of the term 'for every user' makes no sence.. if the pc shutdowns.. its down... [14:44] histo: Ah fstab is readonly [14:44] !sudo | Robert___ [14:44] Robert___: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli ) . Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo [14:44] phanindraramesh_: a computer does shutdown or does not. there is no such thing as shutdown for one user and not for others .... [14:44] jazzfish: the system administration menu is not always showing all points [14:45] Robert___: thats why you use gksu [14:45] Robert___: or sudo [14:45] jazzfish: there is a special app to edit the menu - there again you can enable if all categories should displayed in the administration menu [14:45] w4rd: syslog-ng ? [14:45] Dr_Willis: No i was wondering why you where tyring to shutdown [14:45] cutiyar: can you try the commands posted at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/414458/comments/7 except replace the product=0x1003 with 0x1001 [14:45] jazzfish, can you link me to that article [14:45] Dr_Willis: in channel [14:45] http://www.techotopia.com/index.php/Configuring_Ubuntu_Linux_Wireless_Networking [14:45] jazzfish: that was in older versions of ubuntu [14:46] jazzfish: so run 'Main Menu' and see if that answers that question [14:46] jazzfish: system>preferences>network connections [14:46] <_schism_> morning all. [14:46] mornin [14:46] _schism_: night [14:46] my wireless doesn't work... i just installed wubi after a serious crash - in doze I had to manually install driver for it... I may have to do the same here... [14:47] jazzfish, if you right click the network icon in system tray you should have an "Edit connections" option there [14:47] histo: im not... the other guy is from a cron job.. [14:47] <_schism_> can someone help me with a problem real quick? I upgraded to 10.04 last night from 9.10 and went to run firefox at work at it crashes as soon as I try to run it. I cant seem to find anything on google and while chromium is working ok my client uses firefox so its driving me nuts [14:47] erUSUL: that doesn't work... [14:47] Dr_Willis: ahh [14:47] histo: Thats great. They disappear on reboot. Thanks. [14:47] Robert___: np [14:47] histo: One more question... [14:47] jazzfish: manual driver installation is ussually not needed, just updating ubuntu and/or activating a hardware driver(under administation) may solve your issue [14:47] Robert___: ask away [14:48] will need a network connection to update though [14:48] _schism_: start firefox from cli and see what it outputs [14:48] acicula, iam trying it now , it meant deleting product=0x1003 and putiing this 0x1001? [14:48] how do I do that acicula? [14:48] _schism_: plugin issues, try resetting firefox back to defaults, or try it in safe mode 'firefox --safe-mode' (i think) [14:48] _schism_: rename your $HOME/.mozilla. folder to see if it works then [14:48] yeah product=0x1001 [14:48] cutiyar: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkManager/Hardware/3G list those values, look under E620 / USB [14:49] _schism_: do you use thunderbird for email? [14:49] <_schism_> this is the error it gives me http://paste.ubuntu.com/505747/ [14:49] jazzfish: easiest way is to find a network cable, plug it in, update and then from there on in use the wireless drivers. [14:49] looking under System->Hardware Drivers only lists my graphics card... [14:49] !doesntwork | jazzfish [14:49] jazzfish: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. [14:49] jazzfish: yeah thats possible [14:49] <_schism_> ActionParsnip, before the upgrade I used whatever the mail icon is in the top right for email [14:50] I am on it - wired, sitting on the floor because wire is too short [14:50] been sitting here for 2 days, butt starting to hurt... [14:50] <_schism_> Dr_Willis, how do I reset it? [14:50] jazzfish: so it is already up to date then? [14:50] histo: This machine also has a Storage partition for shared documents access between Ubuntu and Win 7 (per Lifehacker tutorial: http://goo.gl/CjU2)... On Storage, I have made folders Documents, Music, Pictures and Videos and dragged them to left hand side of File Browser. But: I see equivalent folders in Ubuntu's home folder (which is "Lisa" btw). Do you suggest I keep this setup? I want to avoid confusion for my girlfrie [14:51] _schism_: evolution then. Ok if you rename the folder and rerun the browser you should get vanilla settings. Does it work? [14:51] It only lists my graphics driver... [14:51] hello, i want to send commands from a bash script for mail while it processes the mail file, could any1 help me with this ? thanks in advance ! [14:51] Dr_Willis: too follow up on our convo, they could if they wanted to (for my carrier) but its not likely, i have been using tethering on my phone for over 5 months, downloaded all kinds of things, even torrents = 5gb. nothing yet :D [14:51] jazzfish: first; what wifi chip do you have in the computer? does wlna0 appear if you run « iwconfig » in a terminal? [14:51] jazzfish: i understand, its not a given that a wireless driver shows up there. is your system up to date? [14:51] <_schism_> ActionParsnip, it sure did! thanks so much for the help. this is why I love Ubuntu and linux both and why I hand out cds every chance I get! how hard is it going to be to recover my old settings? [14:51] Robert___: thats all up to you. You can make the default ones links to the storage partition instead of the folders in the users home. [14:52] 101010 :) [14:52] yes... [14:52] scp -r roots@72.167.53.:/home/domain/ /home/domain/ [14:52] 5 days [14:52] Hey, guys... [14:52] why isn't that copying the entire directory? [14:52] ok then apste the things erUSUL asked for [14:52] *paste [14:52] How do I go into pure text mode? [14:52] I don't want Gnome to be running. [14:52] erUSUL: yes, cool to paste 7 lines? [14:52] _schism_: you can recover favourites using the html file in the old folder. You. Will need to reinstall plugins and all the other bloat you throw at it [14:52] jazzfish: not here in a pastebin [14:52] !paste | jazzfish [14:52] jazzfish: 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. [14:53] Navid: ctrl-alt-shift-f1, or shutdown the graphical environment by typing sudo service gdm stop [14:53] histo: That sounds like what I should do. Or maybe even put Ubuntu's home folder on the Storage partition. How do I do either of these? [14:53] <_schism_> ActionParsnip, thank you so much for the help! now back to work and time to give out another cd :) [14:53] _schism_: looks like your old profile was incompatible with the new version [14:53] Thanks, acicula [14:53] nowimproved: what is that? [14:53] !nox | Navid [14:53] Navid: To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode [14:53] nowimproved: rather -- is it working as root? [14:53] Navid: and start to bring it back if that wasnt obvious ;) [14:53] Robert___: well each user in ubuntu has a folder in /home all their settings and documents are normally saved there. [14:53] iflema: ooh didn't know that factoid. Cool [14:53] <_schism_> ActionParsnip, is there a way to get all the saved passwords and the like in the new one or do I need to try to remember them all? [14:54] bobstro, it sends only the files in the directory /home/domain/, it doesn't send everything else [14:54] _schism_: not sure there dude. I don't use crappy firefox [14:54] I want it to send sub directories and everything [14:54] Robert___: you can have /home on a different partition if you want. I'm not sure what the ultimate goal is though? [14:54] nowimproved: are you sure root is able to login via ssh/scp? [14:54] can any one please tell me what will be the result of adding the line "23 19 * * * root nautilus" to the file /etc/crontab ? [14:54] _schism_: that failsfe mode lets you try it without the extensions loaded or other options [14:54] http://paste.ubuntu.com/505748/ [14:54] Nick Barret7 [14:54] bobstro, roots is the username, it's not really root [14:54] anyone familiar with plymouth boot screens, and how to possibly change the speed of the loading bar? [14:54] Robert___: like why the need for the other partition to begin with? [14:54] phanindra: do yourself something good and read about cron/crontab [14:55] phanindra: man crontab lists the format === Barrett7 is now known as Barret7 [14:55] like I said, it sends the files in /home/domain/ but not the sub directories [14:55] !plymouth [14:55] nowimproved: ah, missed the 's' [14:55] histo: To ensure that Lisa uses only the Storage partition for saving personal files, whether shes using Win 7 or Ubuntu [14:55] <_schism_> ActionParsnip, okie dokie. thanks for the help I will figgure the rest out. got my bookmarks so that is a start. and I may start using chromium more normaly I use lynx but some clients use their own thing [14:55] _schism_: to try Dr_Willis advice you will need to rename the old profile back into the driving seat and restart the browser [14:55] bobstro, lol [14:55] mine isnt synced with the loading process, it only goes about 20% of the way and then my system is booted [14:55] ActionParsnip: only prob is it requires unloking of the keyring once @ the desktop.... small issue and only issue..... [14:55] Robert___: hrm... let me check if one user can have a home in a different place [14:55] xbonesx: its really not worth worrying about... [14:55] <_schism_> Dr_Willis, thanks for the help I will give it a shot here in a bit when I can sneak back onto the laptop :) [14:55] nowimproved: how about 'scp -r roots@72.167.53.:/home/domain/\* /home/domain' [14:55] That's bizarre -- it's refusing my root password. [14:55] quit [14:55] man 5 crontab even [14:56] Dr_Willis: ? [14:56] _schism_: simple stuff dude. There are addons to upload settings / passwords to some web storage so it doesn't matter where you are your settings will follow [14:56] bobstro, let me truy [14:56] xbonesx: plymouth is so messed up.. its not worth even trying to fix. [14:56] iflema: keyring for what? [14:56] so every day at 19:23 do this [14:56] nowimproved: how deep is the tree? [14:56] Dr_Willis: is plymouth still being used in 10.10? [14:56] iflema: surely if its going to single user there is no gnome [14:56] Hey, I know I can switch on hidden files by pressing Ctrl-H, but is there a keyboard shortcut to show ONLY hidden files? [14:56] xbonesx: yes. and its not much better [14:56] xbonesx: it is ;) [14:56] <_schism_> thanks again guys gotta go be productive now but thank you SO much! [14:57] Dr_Willis: works for me ;) [14:57] nowimproved: also, add -r [14:57] Dr_Willis: is there a way to resort back to say, usplash? [14:57] Robert___: you can usermod -d /path/to/new/homedir username [14:57] ActionParsnip: it works better at shutdown for me then it does at bootup [14:57] nowimproved: that will recurse directories [14:57] bobstro, nah that didn't work, I don't think asterix does, and its real deep? lol [14:57] Kentrel: for the regular graphical vie [14:57] nowimproved: the -r should fix that [14:57] hi. Nautilus' folder view doesn't update anymore if new files are placed in the viewed directory (I always have to refresh manually). how can I enable that again? [14:57] Kentrel: for the regular graphical environment, no [14:57] Robert___: so basically usermod -d /media/Sorage/Lisa lisa [14:57] xbonesx: no idea.. i normally disable plymouth.. i find it rather useless.. and causes more problems then it worth [14:57] magnetron, yes [14:57] bobstro, we've got -r, don't we? [14:58] Dr_Willis: use the guide to make it use fb driver til you hit the desktop ;) works great [14:58] Robert___: that would make /media/Storage/Lisa her new home directory inside of there would be Downloads Documents etc... [14:58] Dr_Willis: disable? as in removing it? [14:58] ActionParsnip: there is with a startx.... keyring 4 Gnome... to unlock IM wifi passwords etc... [14:58] nowimproved: sorry, it's scrolling so fast, hard to look back up [14:58] ActionParsnip: i have better luck witjh disabling the fb console totally. [14:58] xbonesx: thats one way. or use the 'text' boot option [14:58] bobstro, i know ;] [14:58] Robert___: that would effect only her user. If you wanted it to be system wide you'd have to do some editing in fstab. [14:59] nowimproved: scp -r roots@72.167.53*****.:/home/domain/ /home/domain/ - is that ip address complete? [14:59] Dr_Willis: if it can be removed via synaptic, it would only make sense that i could install usplash, right? [14:59] Navid: ubuntu doesn't support having a root password [14:59] acicula: fresh install as of yesterday... [14:59] !info usplash [14:59] usplash (source: usplash): Userspace bootsplash utility. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.5.51 (lucid), package size 35 kB, installed size 220 kB (Only available for amd64 armel i386 lpia powerpc sparc) [14:59] histo: Does there need to be a Lisa folder? Id like to ensure that those home folders (ie. Documents, Music) are the same locations as the equivalent Win 7 library foldethe of the same name [14:59] xbonesx: its too intergerated.. [14:59] nowimproved: is it even connecting, or asking for password? [14:59] xbonesx: its in the repo. Get it installed [15:00] There are already folders eg Documents, Music in Storage [15:00] ActionParsnip: will it overwrite what plymouth does? [15:00] xbonesx: could make a vm to test [15:00] erUSUL:http://paste.ubuntu.com/505748/ [15:00] Another question. Ubuntu often hangs at boottime, either during or after fsck, I can't tell. Basically I see two /dev/sda1 lines referring to those partitions being clean. Then nothing. Its just frozen [15:01] Robert___: doesn't have to be a lisa folder [15:01] ActionParsnip: to test rm it and then installing usplash? [15:01] Kentrel: does it eventually boot? [15:01] acicula, WHEN I PUT THE MODEM SHOULD BEFORE I CREATED NEW VPN? [15:01] bobstro, yes it is, it just doesn't send the sub directories [15:01] xbonesx: yeah see what to do before applying to the real deal [15:01] Action, I've waited 10 minutes or so and no. Currently I'm booting by running an old realtime kernel I installed [15:01] !caps | cutiyar [15:01] cutiyar: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [15:01] ActionParsnip: makes sence [15:01] bug submitted 654408 [15:01] I want my machine to connect to the network via dhcp upon boot, because the login of my users depend on NIS. How do I setup ubuntu networking like that? [15:01] sense* [15:01] acicula, or its connect auto?with out dong any thing [15:01] WHAT? [15:01] nowimproved: so you are getting *some* files? [15:02] histo: So, usermod -d /media/Storage lisa ? [15:02] jazzfish: so the card (is working/has drivers). can you see some network in NM? try scanning in command line « sudo iwlist wlan0 scan » [15:02] Kentrel: use boot options to disable splash so you can watch the boot [15:02] Robert___: Is there already data on Storage? [15:03] cutiyar: does the modem show up in the network applet now? [15:03] jazzfish: after the fresh install did you run the update-manager? [15:03] erUSUL: says "No scan results" [15:03] acicula, no [15:03] Robert___: if you want to move her current contents over you would need to add -m [15:03] Robert___: usermod -d /media/Storage -m lisa [15:04] acicula: noob here - how do I do that? Is that not "automatic"? [15:04] jazzfish: and you are sure there are wifi networks around? [15:04] Hi, how can I make my second HDD automount on startup? [15:04] cutiyar: then i dont know why its not showing up, your problem seems similar to the bug reports i linked though. so i suspect the answer is in there somewhere [15:04] jazzfish: yes it is [15:04] sms_: you don't mount drives, you mount partitions [15:04] !fstab | sms_ [15:04] sms_: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system.

Is there a fix for this major problem? [15:15] !nvidia | gorski [15:15] gorski: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [15:15] acicula, ok wait [15:15] anybody to help with qt? [15:15] how do I open fstab as sudo [15:15] Robert___: you woul dstill have to usermod her to /home after doing that [15:15] Robert___: you can delete the new user you create afterwords [15:16] erUSUL: and how to remove this driver installed from the website? [15:16] Robert___: I don't know any other way around this issue. You can't move someone that is logged in. [15:16] Hi guys, what is the easiest way to allow access to a specific folder in apache locally but to block all external traffic ? [15:16] Loonatic: locally as in from a local network? [15:16] anybody on qt dbus? [15:16] jitu: yep [15:16] acicula: sorry yes [15:17] Never mind [15:17] i am really bad at iptable i cannot figure it out is there another way like htaccess ? [15:17] my problem is methods with argument not works [15:17] gorski: the run has a --uninstall or --remove ption if i recall correctly [15:17] Loonatic: you cant do that via iptables [15:17] histo: Ok, so basically, I'll create a new user, log him in, and run usermod -dm /media/Storage lisa, the log the guy out and delete him from lisa [15:17] ok so i'm not crazy [15:17] Loonatic: have to set it in the apache config or htaccess [15:17] ok, ill try [15:17] Robert___: sudo useradd tempuser [15:18] I've got a link that was pulled from the desktop to one of the gnome panels. Where is the configuration file for the panel that would contain the information for that link so I could write a script to update it as needed? [15:18] Robert___: scratch that [15:18] acicula: ok thanks for the info i'll try to check the apache option [15:18] jazzfish: you have to reboot after installing the last package ( newer drivers ) [15:18] but methods wiyhout args works fine [15:18] damn you PS3 that does not support samba ;) [15:18] Robert___: just use System > administration > users [15:18] yo [15:18] You mean "media" explicitly, or is that a placeholder for a drive name? [15:19] Loonatic? [15:19] Loonatic: alternatively you can just run your local stuff on another port and use iptables to filter traffic [15:19] erUSUL: be back in a couple... Thanks for all your help so far... [15:19] jazzfish: no problem [15:19] Robert___: then login as the temporary user then move lisa's home and logout of tempuser and delete it. [15:19] acicula: Thanks for all your help as well... [15:19] jazzfish: is it working yet or? [15:19] Robert___: who areyou talking to? [15:19] _schism_, how did the upgrade go? [15:20] histo: Sorry that was to you [15:20] anybody for me? [15:20] jitu: you are trying to talk to dbus using the qt libraries? [15:20] jitu: no sorry mine was a tab to many :| [15:20] yes [15:20] bobaloo, i got it [15:21] Robert___: thats where the Storage drive is mounted in /media/Storage [15:21] acicula? [15:21] Robert___: in your current setup === vishwa is now known as vishwa_ [15:21] histo: Ok thanks for your help. Much appreciated [15:21] Robert___: np === vishwa_ is now known as vishwa === vishwa is now known as vishwa|Away === vishwa|Away is now known as vishwa_ [15:22] Ahh...! [15:22] nowimproved: what was it missing? [15:22] This is killing me... [15:22] jitu: not sure what you are trying really [15:23] Does anyone know how to connect to both LAN and Wireless at the same time? [15:23] acicula, sorry my internet is slow so be be patiennt till i will upload it LOL [15:23] jitu: posting your code somewhere like pastebin and the error would help loads. also http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.2/intro-to-dbus.html maybe has some pointers. Have you considered asking in #qt or ##dbus as the people there have a better chance of knowing [15:23] acicula, when i am calling a method without args it works fine. but not working when calling a method with args [15:23] Without losing internet access via Wireless. [15:24] hey, my acer 5542 keeps overheating and as a result of that crashing/freezing. I already updated to the latest BIOS. It looks like the CPU fans aren't even turned on. Is there a fix for this major problem? [15:24] jitu: can you paste an example and errors on pastebin? [15:25] noone replies on #qt [15:25] martez89: are the fans on during boot/in windows? [15:25] should I mount my 320gb partition with fsck or no? [15:25] bobstro, guess I didn't..this is ridiculous, now it just started copying everything [15:25] jitu: well they are all busy programming qt :) , theres a mailing list also [15:25] acicula, ubuntu is my only OS [15:25] nowimproved: it's working ? [15:25] martez89: when did you first observe the problem [15:26] !list [15:26] This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » [15:26] acicula, about a week ago (when I started playing minecraft). it only happens when the cpu usage is high [15:27] MooshiMuushi: Which connection is your connection to the 'Net? [15:27] bobstro, it just is copying everything from my home directory now, I don't get this at all [15:27] rob_p, Wireless. [15:27] martez89: so is the fan running now? [15:27] nowimproved: you mean instead of the directory you wanted? [15:27] anyone reasonably familiar with iptables, think i'm having an issue [15:27] bobstro, yah...uh [15:28] if you keep it next to your ear you should be able to feel the airflow and/or hear the noise [15:28] acicula, I don't think so. also people on the forums have the same problem on ubuntu, but not on windows [15:28] with the dbusviwer provided with qt if i call GetSinkVolume on /org/ayatana/indicator/sound/service on inteface org.ayatana.indicator.sound it returns the right value but setting a value (50) does not works it gives no result. But the same works fine when trying with python [15:28] MooshiMuushi: Ok. First thing, don't use networkmanager. Then configure your wired interface *without* a gateway and you should be set. [15:28] I move a link to the gnome panel. Where can I find the actual config file that contains the links details so that it could be edited by a script? [15:28] setting with SetSingVolume [15:29] nowimproved: same command line? [15:29] sorry SetSinkVolume [15:29] acicula, k10temp-pci-00c3 [15:29] Adapter: PCI adapter [15:29] temp1: +65.2°C (high = +70.0°C) [15:29] rob_p, I went into Startup Applications and unchecked the box for the network manager. [15:29] and that is when im doing almost nothing [15:30] rob_p, I some setted up the /etc/network/interfaces so that I can connect ot the inter through wlan0. [15:30] rob_p, Now I have no idea how to set up the eth0. [15:30] hi guys, i need some help. Can I remove all packages instaled as a dependency of a meta-package? [15:30] Hi everyone. I updated to Maverick from Lucid and the MeMenu personnal message field is blacked out. How do I fix that? [15:30] acicula, can you help? [15:30] martez89: yeah i've had that too. you can try to play with fancontrol to try to make the fan spin faster [15:30] bobstro, scp -r foo your_username@remotehost.edu:/some/remote/directory/bar [15:30] what does this do cat /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf | grep User\ [15:30] acicula, how do i do that? [15:30] jitu: post a code example with the error and i can have a look, but i never tinker with qt so [15:31] is there some sort of gui for fancontrol? [15:31] ok anyone familiar with setup for openvpn? [15:31] nowimproved: and your home directory rather than foo is copying over? [15:31] bobstro, yup... [15:31] the dbusviewer is in the tools of qt. it is provided with qt [15:31] erUSUL: Back - unfortunately no love. When I reinstalled Vista, and upgraded to Win7, I had to go to find the hardware, right click install driver... It was part of the crash, losing the wireless, so Win7 never started properly again... It seems to work now but I may be having issues with the hardware... [15:32] MooshiMuushi: Not sure if that will keep networkmanager from interferring with your config but if so, you should be set. Just configure eth0 with a static IP and netmask and you should be good. [15:32] martez89: not the last time i tried it [15:32] martez89: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7399158 has a number ofs taring points [15:32] jazzfish: sorry :S this is as far as i can go debugging the issue... [15:32] erUSUL: Many thanks again... [15:33] so i upgraded via the package manager did a reboot and now i'm confronted with BusyBox and a limited shell [15:33] jazzfish: well one more thing what is the output of « sudo rfkill all » ? [15:33] nowimproved: hmm. only thoughts i have are that rsync cares about trailing / on directory names (it's significant), but what you're doing looks right to me. [15:33] when im compiling software i run ./configure in the untared source directory first? [15:33] martez89: enabling cpu scaling helps some, cleaning may help, and using fancontrol to crank up the fanspeed [15:33] acicula, i've read that post but i did not try to increase the fan speed yet. is that how you solved it? [15:33] i = new QDBusInterface("org.ayatana.indicator.sound","/org/ayatana/indicator/sound/service","org.ayatana.indicator.sound",QDBusConnection::sessionBus()); [15:34] reply = i->call("SetSinkVolume",QVariant(75)); [15:34] Delphious: read the README it comes with on how to install software [15:34] rob_p, PM. [15:34] MooshiMuushi: ok [15:34] jitu: pelease use pastebin [15:34] no error message [15:34] martez89: well somewhat, i just had a crap designed laptop tbh [15:34] will 10.04 get PHP 5.3.3? 10.10 has it, but still 5.3.2 for 10.04 [15:34] of course, i don't have enough space to zip it either.. [15:35] martez89: 35W cpus + gpus in a 13" frame with a fan the size of a peanut, it gets hot no matter what i try. [15:35] this is retarded, can someone show me an example of how to use rsync instead of scp [15:35] erUSUL: it doesn't think "sudo rfkill all" is a valid command - gives me the help page... [15:35] I am running a live session from a flash drive - /dev/sdb1 - how do I write to that device [15:35] jazzfish: sorry is « sudo rfkill list all » [15:35] acicula, its seems i cant upload picture [15:35] acicula, SORRY [15:36] erUSUL: blank... [15:36] "Do you want to run or display its contents" How can I get it to always execute the file and prevent it from popping up the alert? [15:36] jazzfish: :S [15:36] cutiyar_: thats ok, i just dont know how to solve your problem, if the modem shows up you have to run through the 3g setup to let it connect to your 3g provider [15:36] this is pretty similar to what is happening to both my linux partitions when i try and boot from them: http://ubuntu-ky.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6952759 [15:36] acicula, does not shown [15:37] acicula, that guide says to cat /proc/acpi/ibm/fan, when i type cat /proc/acpi/fan in a terminal it says cat: /proc/acpi/fan: Is a directory [15:37] acicula, just tell me one thing [15:37] it does not show what? [15:37] acicula, no [15:37] martez89: the specific vary a bit depending on the brand of laptop [15:37] acicula, i cant see the 3G that u talking about [15:38] martez89: with the lm-sensors package you may be able to get more detailed readings [15:38] acicula, yeah the fan folder was at /proc/acpi/fan but that's emtpy [15:39] someone find the guy who invented the diaspora and shoot him, tia. are there any screenshots of the 3G setup process that anyone knows of, the 3g wiki page is kinda unhelpfull there [15:39] martez89: yeah unfortunatly what acpi does and dose not provide in terms of information varies wildly also [15:39] you get a temp reading, which is already somthing, heh [15:40] martez89: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SensorInstallHowto that should help you with isntalling the sensors [15:40] how do i read info with lmsensors? [15:40] will 10.04 get PHP 5.3.3? 10.10 has it, but still 5.3.2 for 10.04 [15:40] acicula, lm-sensors is already on my pc [15:40] look at the wiki, also ignore the gui stuff, just type sensors in a terminal once its setup or watch sensors to have it update ever so often [15:41] martez89: ok then do the sensors-detect thing and have a look at what you can find [15:41] hello [15:41] cutiyar_: im looking for some example screens of the 3G setup, maybe we can figure out what is you are looking at === vincent is now known as Guest71483 [15:42] acicula, ok thX [15:42] I'm looking for a data visualization app that could easily allow me to explore some results from experiments. The results are 5d, so I have to take statistical measures across dimensions to visualize them. Right now I'm using python+matplotlib but I'd rather have something with a gui that would allow me to explore the data in a more interactive/visual way. Any recommendations? (other than oocalc, which I've already tried and wasn't t [15:42] hi guys can you help me or give some tricks? how to make guitar depth effect in lmms?

[15:51] try another ubuntu channel [15:51] you can adjust the fan speed to stay on at full speed by executing the following command as root: echo level disengaged > /proc/acpi/ibm/fan. when i do this for my path nothing happens [15:51] thats the only one i know, main ubuntu channels will just be english. If you cant wait maybe you can try posting on the turkish language ubuntu forum? [15:52] martez89: yeah what brand laptop do you have again?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [15:54] martez89: yeah you cant actually control the fan from there i think.

[16:11] acicula, http://pastebin.com/GwAQHnr2 [16:12] acicula, http://pastebin.com/GwAQHnr2 [16:12] thiago, because it was declared so in qt the call method takes a Qstring and some qvars [16:12] i wan't to know if there's a way i can do programming in ubuntu? been using c++ ... what is the equivalent apps for c++ in ubuntu? thanx [16:12] martez89: i cant get much further then http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1175054 [16:12] tux-root--, ? c++ and gtk ? [16:12] acicula, because it was declared so in qt the call method takes a Qstring and some qvars [16:12] martez89: afaik no fan speed in sensors means you cant control it via the /proc file system [16:12] bastidrazor thanks but that does not have the information i need [16:13] acicula, http://pastebin.com/GwAQHnr2 [16:13] tux-root--, or you use kdevel suite and use c++ and qt4 [16:13] I am having trouble during the compiling of of qemu, it always freezes on "translate.o" furing the make process [16:13] tux-root--, or you have mono + glade or mono + winforms or mono + wx or mono + python + gtk or mono + anything [16:14] *during [16:14] jitu: yeah those are qt datatypes i understand that, but if i had to guess id say that qvariant data type is wrong and it just gets converted to the argument that dbus expects in an incorrect way [16:14] trj021782: i send the massage there are 5 days back [16:14] cutiyar_: can you psate the grep Network also? [16:14] *paste [16:15] acicula, how? [16:15] acicula, well thanks a lot anyway. its awesome how much people you are helping here :) [16:15] cutiyar_: cat /var/log/syslog | grep Network | tail -n 50 [16:15] martez89: just trying to avoid writing, heh [16:15] acicula, i guess that's true but sending a integer also dont work [16:16] I want to use ext3 on 2TB disk but it uses 90GB~ for reserved space. I reduced it to 0.1%, but I couldn't find if are there any limitations after this.

[16:20] jitu: well you are not wrapping the "string" argument in a Qstring which seems a little odd.id have another look at what format the QDBusInterface->call method expects? [16:20] Hyphn: people often ask how to remove those.. thats not doable i think.. adding bookmarks or drag/droping a dir to the sidebar will add things there.. as will teh connect to... menu item [16:21] cutiyar_: thanx [16:21] Dr_Willis, I know about root's use, but I saw some posts about inodes & fragmentation. That's why I'm confusing about it.. [16:21] dxdemetriou: if the filesystem gets fscked.. it can make a lost+found directory that is where 'found' files would be put If any exist..

[16:39] acicula: rescue mode can fix some things but just dpkg and kernel errors i think.

[17:15] elbOw home use [17:16] gilaniali: not necessarily - I think you can probably compile a lot of it [17:16] phanindra: you have to set x-authority etc for root to use a running x-session of different user. also use full pathes to binaries when calling them from cron [17:17] taiqeyjng [17:17] pagLIVR: so I wouldnt be able to use apt-get?

[17:29] azertyuio: Change it from transparent to a specific color. That looks like you're looking through to what your wallpaper is currently. [17:30] is there way to get xorg.conf back? i deleted it and forgot backup it [17:30] lancel: did you delete it with rm?

A print job was aborted because of no more paper, and now i can't print anything (every printing job goes into "suspended") [17:31] you could generate a new config [17:31] suanowo, how?

[17:33] juk_, I am looking for reccomendations here.. [17:33] just only on lucid i got this problem [17:33] before it was fine [17:33] I would suggest awesome. [17:33] "printing problem" is redundant, innit? [17:33] do you get what i mean ? Pici [17:33] But awesome is too much of a pain to maintain. [17:33] susanowo, looking for something thats fairly easy and nice [17:34] stealth_: openbox [17:34] antonio_: use the lpq command or the cups web interface to remove the job perhaps. or [17:34] openbox is very nice. [17:34] perhaps restart/resend the job [17:34] I use it on my laptop. [17:34] juk_: thats not tiling.. [17:34] azertyuio: No. I don't understand. You changed it to transparent, but you don't want that. So change it back? [17:34] juk_, I will give it a go mate, anyhting will do at the moment [17:34] Dr_Willis, how can i go into "cups web interface"?

[17:37] but now i got one part in black and the other one in blue [17:37] what i have to do ? [17:37] azertyuio: Whats the actual question? Are you asking why its blue?

[17:39] puppy linux [17:39] or dsl [17:39] acicula: gonna make a snapshot and try it [17:39] antonio_: it proberly said paused/offline somewhere in the gnome cups interface also [17:39] do you get now ? Pici [17:39] azertyuio: It looks like those panel applets don't provide any alpha transparency themselves. [17:39] but dls dont fine the momitor [17:39] keith_: or tiny core linux.. [17:39] tiny [17:39] 10mb disrto. :) [17:39] in 9.10 everything was fine [17:39] hmm didnt think of thatone [17:39] i just only got this problem [17:40] in lucid [17:40] you know what the mim mem used on tiny? [17:40] keith_: its the micro disrto i use mainly these days instead of Puppy/Dsl/others === Misterio is now known as Misterio_ === Misterio_ is now known as Misterio [17:40] keith_: no idea. It cant be any higher then ubuntu. :) [17:40] good point [17:41] keith_: plus its not to hard to install. [17:41] hello all, how to make this command sudo shutdown -r 05:00 run at startup as root? [17:41] that good [17:41] Hi [17:41] ihave uesed ubuntu for years now [17:41] ne7work: /etc/rc.local is one way [17:41] azertyuio: Likely some feature was introduced that disabled transparency for those applets. It looks like someone here provided a fix: http://www.webupd8.org/2010/05/fix-transparent-vertical-and-large.html [17:41] #ubuntu-ru [17:42] ill look it up tiny core [17:42] thanks a lot Pici let me check this :) [17:42] ne7work: add the command to /etc/rc.local if you want it to run at every bootup. [17:42] Is anyone here good with /etc/network/interfaces? [17:42] I need someone to check my settings :) === Guest23288 is now known as SuP|Lobby [17:42] ne7work: i cant imagine why you want to do that.. but thats one way [17:43] MooshiMushi: what kind of interface are you using? [17:43] wired? wireless? [17:43] hey dr willis thanks [17:43] if wireless, what card? [17:43] susanowo, Both. [17:43] ne7work, you can add it to startup applications under preferences, BUT you'll have to add the command shutdown in the sudoers file if you dont want it to ask for password [17:43] Dr_Willis what i need to write on /etc/rc.local ? [17:43] ne7work: the command you want to run.. befor the 'exit' statement... [17:43] ikonia: TKU for suggestions but my DVD playing problems are NOT to do with formats NOR CSS. "Movie Player" - ('Totem'?) - is so completely buggy that it is unusable; 'Kaffiene' does not get past the 2x anti-pirating video segments + a copyright message - then the movie title dissappears from the taskbar & black screen; 'VLC' gets to same position & black screen (noticed it was "Buffer = 0" for a few seconds, then nothing.) I look [17:43] i have a 2nd hard drive that gets mounted as /media/DATA, but I need it to auto-mount on boot, besides an fstab entry, how can i do this? [17:43] ed at "/var/log/syslog" & it had: [17:44] Wavesonics|Work: and the reason for No fstab entry is? [17:44] Dr_Willis when I edit this file /etc/rc.local I need to reboot the system to work the sudo shutdown -r 05:00 or what? [17:44] susanowo, So...can you check out my settings? [17:44] Wavesonics|Work: add a mount command in rc.local.. but thats worse idea then a fstab entry [17:44] Sure [17:44] hmmm? can't seem to paste in log excerpt? [17:44] ne7work: rc.local gets ran at boot time.. so yes... [17:44] Why xorg ignores setting, I set them to 75 but screen flickering, then I have to set it in NVIDIA X Server Settings, after each X restart [17:44] susanowo, Thanks. [17:45] beagleburt: that process works fine for pretty much every ubuntu user out there, so you have 3 choices, 1.) your DVD is broke 2.) your PC hardware has an issue 3.) your ubuntu install (applications) have a problem [17:45] Dr_Willis, *shrug* it cleared has some info some where alerady since I can just click on it and it mounts right?

[17:45] Wavesonics|Work: its mounting on access.. thats not the same as mounting on boot... want it to mount on boot.. You use fstab. [17:45] susanowo, Sent it to you already. [17:45] Dr_Willis, ah ok, thanks [17:45] k [17:45] I see it [17:45] Wavesonics|Work: fstab = it will be mounted befor you even login, and even if you dont login. [17:45] are you having issues? [17:45] Why xorg ignores setting, I set them to 75 but after X restart screen flickering at 65, then I have to set it in NVIDIA X Server Settings [17:46] Dr_Willis, got ya [17:46] susanowo, Yes. [17:46] Dr_Willis Can I write in /etc/rc.local just shutdown -r 05:00 without sudo before the command? === Spec[x] is now known as Spec [17:46] ne7work: no sudo is needed [17:46] ne7work: its ran by the SYSTEM anyway, not a user. [17:46] hmm [17:46] susanowo, I use a program called PMS (PS3 Media Server) to stream videos to the PS3, but for some reason, it can't locate the PS3. [17:46] I have a problem with my menu. It just dissapears. Any ideas? [17:46] ikonia: t.a. hmmm? sounds problematical! will hack away at it! [17:46] Dr_Willis okay I need to try that now :) I reboot my virtual machine now I host my weblog on this Virtual Machine :) [17:46] Dr_Willis, how can I see what dev it actually is? [17:46] \server #oltreirc [17:47] susanowo, When I ping the PS3's IP address. I get response. [17:47] IdleOne: TKU [17:47] is it possible to turn .rpm files into .deb files? [17:47] Wavesonics|Work: use the UUID is the best way not the /dev/sdXXX entry [17:47] !uuid [17:47] To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) [17:47] lint: stongly advisable that you don't try [17:47] !alien | lint [17:47] lint: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous and unsupported) [17:47] Hmm [17:47] lint: its possible.. its also possible it can break the system [17:47] \server irc.oltreirc.net [17:47] \server #irc.oltreirc.net [17:47] Dr_Willis really thanks man :) [17:47] lint: rpms are made for different distro with different dependencies [17:47] ah. ok. nm then. [17:47] andrea_: please stop [17:47] andrea_: /server not \server [17:47] have you reconfigured the PS3? [17:47] Why xorg ignores setting, I set them to 75 but after X restart screen flickering at 65, then I have to set it in NVIDIA X Server Settings, bug reported #654408 [17:48] lint: you can change your source servers in Software Sources if you are having problems with the current mirror [17:48] juk_: you did run nvidia-settings as root, and saved the xorg.conf ? [17:48] susanowo, Yes. PS3's IP Address: 223.0.0.2 Default Router: 223.0.0.1 [17:48] juk_: xorg doesn't ignore settings, make sure your settings are in a valid /etc/X11/xorg.conf file [17:48] juk_: also a USER can have their own nvidia-settings 'configs' that can override some of the default/xorg.conf settings [17:48] howto install driver card Nvidia gf2 MX400 [17:49] sayle0102: see if its mentined in the 'hardware drivers' tool. or run 'gksudo jockey-gtk' and see if they are mentiuoned. [17:50] Dr_Willis, not quite sure what to put for the mount options, so far I have: UUID=180A2DCD0A2DA8A8 /media/DATA ntfs [17:50] susanowo, Any ideas? [17:50] !ntfs-3g | Wavesonics|Work [17:50] Wavesonics|Work: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions [17:50] I think it may be with the PS3, rather than your computer. [17:51] Wavesonics|Work: since you Now tell me its ntfs.. :) try installing/runnign the ntfs-config tool [17:51] Dr_Willis, hehe ok [17:51] I've had dozens of network issues with the PS3, spanning from it not registering on media servers to it shutting my entire wireless network down when connecting. [17:51] Wavesonics|Work: i always set up my ntfs on install :) [17:51] hi [17:51] my ps3 collects dust very well =( [17:52] as an aside, did they ever release proper graphics drivers for linux on ps3? [17:52] susanowo, How did you fix the problem with the media server not registering? [17:52] Dr_Willis: sure, i did 75, after restart back to 60 and flickering [17:53] I can't get alarms in Evolution working. Is this some sort of bug? [17:53] Dr_Willis: and i dont see xorg.conf under home [17:53] I ended up looking for a new media server program [17:53] pagLIVR, Nope. Sony down-graded the PS3. Throwing out the "Other OS". [17:54] susanowo, Oh? [17:54] could anyone recommend a good reST editor for ubuntu? [17:54] susanowo, Did you find one as good as PS3 Media Server for Ubuntu? [17:54] yeah, was aware, but I guess it v=never got acceleration then... thats very very sony though [17:54] MooshiMuushi, have you tried running a media server for the PS3 for windows through wine? [17:54] Hello, can anyone plz help with the this. I forgot root password that I've created during the installation. How do i retrieve it ?? [17:54] Noldorin, reST? [17:54] Nikkk: for what reason do you need your root pass? [17:55] MooshiMuushi, reStructuredText [17:55] Nikkk: You didn't set one during the install.

[17:56] k [17:56] MooshiMuushi, sure. [17:57] I'm trying to setup my server anyways [17:57] susanowo: how? [17:57] Noldorin, sudo apt-get install geany [17:57] Noldorin, That's the one you're looking for! (I think) [17:58] Dr_Willis: What I'd do, how can I help developers? [17:58] sda1986: xset dpms force off [17:58] susanowo, Yes. PS3 Media Server. There's also a Ubuntu Version. [17:58] hm [17:58] anyonehere using xchat know how the add on...sends desktop notifications to notification daemon works or can be configured [17:58] susanowo, I found that PS3 Media Server was the best video streaming program there is :D [17:59] MooshiMuushi, are the ports you are trying to use open on your router? [17:59] ugliefrog, I'm using it right now, but I have no idea what you just said :D [17:59] susanowo, Ooh. Now that I haven't checked. [17:59] MooshiMuushi, thanks, i'll give it a go :) [17:59] sda1986: are you intending to write a script to do that? [18:00] Noldorin, Hope it was what you were looking for. [18:00] MooshiMuushi, lol :) im trying to figure it out [18:00] susanowo: yes sir [18:01] sda1986: let me write one up real quick [18:01] ps3 media server rocks I only have probs whith some mkv files [18:01] how do I un-encrypt my home folder [18:01] what is encrypted with? [18:01] How do I change the driver that wlan0 uses? [18:01] Broman, YES! IT IS AWESOME! But I have a problem with it. [18:02] !ecryptfs [18:02] during Ubuntu installation.. i chose the encrypted home directory option [18:02] nishttal2: you need your login password and the passphrase [18:02] qwam: rmmod? [18:02] MooshiMuushi, thanks. it should do the job as a reST editor. not sure it has a preview window thogh [18:02] so i was installed reason propellerhead wich are a music program, but had problems copying the soundbanks i used crossover how do i make the sound banks write able ? i tryed change permission on the dvd but said i wasent allowed to change permission [18:03] acicula, where? [18:03] Hi guys. I seem to be having some issues connecting to websites... intermitanly, of course! ;) Take www.faunos.com. It will just sit there and say "waiting for www.faunos.com". I'll wait, kill it, try again, and then it works. any ideas? [18:03] sda1986: do you want a script so that whenever you lock it, it turns off the screen? or do you want a script that both locks and turns off the screen at the same time? [18:03] nishttal2: to decrypt your home, your password is your login pasword, and the passphrase you should have saved somewhere [18:03] I'm using elinks by the way. [18:03] juk: That will remove the module, but how do I then tell wlan0 to use the (loaded) module I want it to? [18:03] hmm sorry didnt know what happend there [18:04] nishttal2: what did you change that you cant access your encrytped home directory anymore? [18:04] acicula, i am logged in and can access my files.. [18:04] nishttal2: yeah i understand [18:04] question is I want to disable encryption [18:04] as some programs are not working [18:04] how can i change permissions on a dvd ? [18:04] if files need it [18:04] susanowo: hehe, i dunno! At the end for me the result is the same, i think it's easyer turn it off and lock than if lock turn it off [18:05] nishttal2: ok so your encryption is working but you want to stop using the encryption? [18:05] qwam: insmod [18:05] acicula, yes === patrik is now known as 17SAAAV8Z [18:06] Juk: Will that make sure that the module goes to the interface? [18:06] (the module is already there in lsmod) [18:06] nishttal2: well you will have to copy all the files to a place outside your home directory, disable encryption and remove the encrypted files and then copy your files back [18:06] well... i got everything setup on my machine and samba and all was running great... modified fstab to automount the two drives i needed mounted... then reboot and i get /dev/sdb1 already mounted or /fileserver (mount point) busy.. according to mtab /dev/sdb1 is mounted on / [18:06] what might be the problem? [18:06] sda1986: http://dpaste.com/252991/ [18:06] try that. [18:06] acicula, so how do I disable [18:07] qwam: im not sure [18:07] you know how to use a script, right? [18:07] lol === bihari_ is now known as Bipul [18:07] susanowo, It's on LAN. Opening it up is not the problem. [18:07] nishttal2: nishttal2 im checkking into that [18:07] Hmm. [18:07] Can someone call themselves a computer geek if they only use windows or macos? [18:07] susanowo, Is there a code to allow a port? [18:07] well... i got everything setup on my machine and samba and all was running great... modified fstab to automount the two drives i needed mounted... then reboot and i get /dev/sdb1 already mounted or /fileserver (mount point) busy.. according to mtab /dev/sdb1 is mounted on / ... what might be the problem? [18:08] susanowo: great; two question 1. Why clear? 2. If i wanted to say if that event happen do that how i had to do? [18:08] 1. Clear out of habit for having a clean terminal lol. [18:08] udevadm trigger is not permitted while udev is unconfigured, then goes to a shell initramfs prompt gave up waiting for root device [18:09] i have cups in school, that handles many printers, is there a way to auto connect to that cups server from my cups on my laptop, so all printers will be autodetected? [18:09] I have one disk I dont care about the content of. My problem is that it wont ever stop running fsck on it. I will let it run it's course, reboot the machine and then it will start all over again. Like I said, I dont care at all about the data on it. I just want to be able to use the storage again. [18:09] /dev/sda1 which is the root filesystem does not exist [18:09] Does it lock when you close the laptop? [18:10] nishttal2: it seems removing the .Private and .ecryptfs directory from your home directory may do the trick. WARNING. .Private contains your data, so back it up to another place before hand. also the ecryptfs system uses the /home/ mount point so you have to be logged out for it to be unmounted [18:10] MooshiMuushi: I will install pms and check it out [18:10] Any one used gyachi ? [18:10] nishttal2: again .Private and .ecryptfs under your real home directory, not the one you see when you are logged in [18:11] nishttal2: http://virtually-a-machine.blogspot.com/2010/08/howto-disable-ecryptfs.html this also explains how you can disable it and keep an encrypted directory [18:11] nishttal2: mind you it seems odd that programs are affected by the encryption, unless they lock up due to heavy io like a database? [18:11] Have any one used gyachi [18:12] no [18:12] :P [18:12] susanowo, You don't need to :D Do you even need it? [18:12] I could probably use it [18:12] I have my ps3 right across from me right now [18:12] AbhiJit: be helpful [18:12] IdleOne, sure! :) [18:13] Hi guy's I'm looking for help using wine [18:13] soji: have you tried the wine irc? [18:14] soji: #winehq is the channel for wine [18:14] So.. Stop fsck from locking down my disk, anyone? :) [18:14] very new to ubuntu [18:14] what's wine irc? [18:14] Plimmer: is there something wrong with your FS? [18:14] soji: the wine irc channel [18:14] wine hq [18:14] thanks [18:14] soji, type /j #winehq [18:14] susanowo, I doubt it.. I reformatted it [18:15] And fsck is refusing to let you boot? [18:15] It's not my boot disk [18:15] Ah. [18:15] Have you tried to manually mount it? [18:15] 1,5tb of storage [18:15] Yeah [18:15] It wont let me do it [18:15] Have you tried doing it as root? [18:16] I've sudo'ed it [18:16] Hm. [18:16] It's on ubuntu server bt [18:16] w [18:16] So only cli [18:16] What does fsck say? [18:16] When I pgreb it it gives me two numbers [18:17] 225 257 [18:17] no.. [18:17] 445 457 [18:17] would a pentium 700 mhz be enough to build a nas backup server? [18:17] MrRoboto, yes, but not very energy efficient [18:17] susanowo: it doens't work if i put it on keyword shortcut! :( [18:17] what is the document viewer called, how do I launch it from cli? [18:18] c3l: evince [18:18] juk: ty [18:18] would there by any way for my other pc to switch it on when it wants to do the backup?

[18:20] TuGa: best asked in #ubuntu+1 [18:21] For some reason whenever I login the screen resolution changes from the native resolution of the screen to a low resolution. This just started.

[18:23] sda1986: I'm sure there's a better way to automate it [18:23] maybe with python or c [18:23] .gu [18:24] juk: I think I'm on 10.04 (installed a while ago), but I've updated regularly [18:24] susanowo: true python, i'll take a look soon, there is no reason to keep a monitor on while it has a black screen, save energy isn't something stupid [18:24] juk: by updated I mean with the update applet, I haven't explicitly upgraded to 10.10 [18:25] acicula, any reason in particular? [18:25] mdmkolbe: got it, coz I have issue after upgrade with nvidia [18:25] this all started after I turned my resolution down for displaying on a projector (I'm using the nvidea display applet) [18:25] http://paste.ubuntu.com/505833/ and http://paste.ubuntu.com/505845/ .

[18:28] juk: I've fixed it. (You gave me the idea.) Instead of changing the resolution in the NVidea applet, I changed it in the generic applet. Maybe it will work for you? [18:29] mdmkolbe: what applets are you refering to? [18:29] histo: Sorry, I lost my transcript of our earlier exchange re: changing the location of user "lisa" home folder to be /media/Storage. How do I do this now that i am logged in as a separate user account ("robert")? Because when I do sudo usermod -d -m /media/Storage lisa, that doesn't seem to work, to my knowledge === tech_ is now known as floppy [18:30] juk: (By generic applet I mean when you click System->Preferences->Monitors a window comes up asking if I want to use the vendor (Nvidea) applet or the generic applet. I've been trying to set resolution in the nvidea applet which didn't work. But setting it in the generic applet fixed it.) === floppy is now known as krebain [18:31] mdmkolbe: may be coupled to the driver that is loaded, since you use nvidia you can use either the open source or nvidia's own proprietary driver [18:32] hello [18:32] hello [18:32] türk var mı?

I would like to have a bootable pendrive with exactly the same I have in my HD. But I need to know if it's possible to clone 32GB>16GB before buying the pendrive. Thanks! [18:35] i am using gyachi which i have have downloded from synpatic manager but in chat room pop up of voice option is not working [18:35] popcalent: you could image the 32GB HD [18:35] ok that is not the issue, I am familiar with some issues what I am having trouble with is trying to install Ubuntu Server I386 version 10.04 onto an older Dell PE6450 Server. I keep getting CD rom issues, cant read files, Checksum Error's, I've verified the media, I verified the Bios, and swapped out the Drive to ensure it wanst bad..

[18:37] Hi, im having a problem with local file transfers. Every time i connect to my media server, after a few seconds i lose my connection to the internet. I have checked all of my logs and I do not see any error outputs as to why i am losing the connection. Any ideas? [18:37] erUSUL: what I want is to be able to boot from the pendrive and have exactly the same I have in my HD (only 16GB instead of 32GB) [18:37] farewell all [18:37] Yes during the install it stated the media was corrupt, I run a check and it reports a bad checksum 5 error, I reburn the media and same thing I choose diferent version of server install 10.10 and 10.04 and both fail to install with same error...

I changed the default to try Libre.fm but now I want to go back to Last.fm and can't find their scrobbling address anywhere :/ [18:38] popcalent: use another tool ( clonezilla fsarchiver partimage? ) or shrink the original partition with gparted and then dd it [18:38] popcalent: i doubt ext4 can recover from missing half its filesystem, but its worth a shot i suppose, though its not a given there is no real data in the last 16GB [18:38] what was your name on m, you just suggested me to you monitors instead of nvidia tool, thanks you, Im going to drop bug report [18:39] it goes through 99% install then reads the Pools files and then bounces me stating it cant read from the media.. [18:39] so yeah, shrink it and clone it like erUSUL sugggest or just reisntall and copy over relevant data? [18:39] I'm having trouble understanding what 'mount' means. I know it means you're -adding a file system to the operating systems file hierarchy. But if you unmount something, how can you do things like run fsck on it? Does Linux no to look at the fstab file or something? [18:39] Bill_: consistent failure at the same point or at different points [18:39] yes i have tested [18:39] horseatingweeds: You fsck devices, not mount points. [18:39] same point. [18:40] horseatingweeds: fsck and other tools take the raw block device and operate on that. not at filesystem level [18:40] ciao [18:40] alright, thank you erUSUL and acicula [18:40] well consistency is good, not the memory then, faulty drive kinda seems unlikely too [18:40] horseatingweeds: that's why you do « fsck /dev/sda2 » and not « sudo fsck /mount/point/ » [18:41] Bill_: doing a graphical install or text based alternative install, can you get a minimal install to work? on a high order terminal alt-f5<->f9 somehwere there is an error console, anything usefull there? [18:41] yea I said the same thing,, I'm a hardware guy and have plenty of stuff laying around and tried 2 different drives, cd and DVD drives and both provide the same response. [18:41] popcalent: you can just copy the files over to a fressh filesystem too like acicula says... you will have to set up grub anyway [18:42] mast`: looking at the config, seems to be http://post.audioscrobbler.com/ ...maybe? [18:42] i dont really get why people dd anyawy, fresh install and copying data is just as fast and doesnt need fixing up filesystems and boot systems [18:42] I'm trying to install ubuntu server 10.04 and when it boots it reads the cd and loads the default command line structure, [18:42] hmm that is a pretty minimal install by default [18:42] anyone know a decent wifi card for a desktop that will like work out of the box?

But this is inaccurate; as far as I can tell, these are packages I use all the time and work just fine. When I use apt-get for updates/upgrades, I get no notifications of these packages.

[19:12] glaucous: maybe this: http://www.wikihow.com/Screen-Capture-to-File-Using-VLC [19:12] juk: can't find anything related to scrollbar here [19:12] lestat: check art.gnome.org for packages [19:12] Dmole: fine for me, but where can i edit the current theme ? === LazyP|Away is now known as lazyPower [19:13] lestat: you wont you can change whole controls at once [19:13] MORE INFO: http://paste.ubuntu.com/505875/ [19:13] Dmole, I had no idea VLC featured that. Will take a look! [19:13] juk: erf that's not what i want then, anyway ty [19:13] Does anyone know a text editor (not terminal based) that has tabs and has good crash recovery? [19:13] beagleburt: VLC and mplayer are your best bets, you might need to remove protection, try handbreak [19:14] Dmole: NOT CSS [19:14] st__: If you want to reverse a WEP/WPA key, then look at the documentation for wpa_passphrase. It will probably take less time to get the original plain password. [19:14] !afk > lazyPower [19:14] lazyPower, please see my private message [19:14] lestat: actually you can but i guess you wont mess with xml files [19:14] juk: sure i will :) [19:14] Dmole: I don't know how to back up my list of packages or how to restore them if it breaks [19:14] lestat: dono I would install a new theme then search (sudo find / -name themename) for the name or file date and go from there~ [19:15] Lantizia: gedit? [19:15] please help me === ezraw1 is now known as ezraw [19:16] Lantizia: the editors tend to save ~filename every few seconds for backups [19:17] wispurs: what do you mean by: "...messed up my flash" ? [19:17] i mean when i go to a site that plays flash [19:17] nothing happens [19:17] i used to be able to go to hulu, ubuntu [19:17] etc [19:17] ei [19:17] maybe its shockwayve [19:17] hey, does anyone know how to control fan speed when the /proc/acpi/fan folder is empty?

[19:18] lol [19:18] Does anyone have any idea why "segmentation fault" happen in epiphany?, and , is possible to fix that? [19:19] ok, gnome-color-chooser mess up all my theme when i change the color -__ [19:19] - [19:19] does anyone tried to install BT4? is it safe? i got 10.04 here....just askin cause i aint sure if it's safe or not...been reading articles but seems a failure...just askin if someone tried without failing thanx [19:19] guess i'll go hacking the xml files [19:19] tux-root--: you can still boot it from a livecd and see for yourself [19:20] lestat: typically a programming error or a hardware failure, or very funky compiler flags. If it happens at the same time its best to just bug report it to whoever packages ephiphany [19:20] lestat: sorry but i aint got no cd at all mate [19:20] lestat: i mean if it happens at the same point in the program everytime [19:20] wispurs: there is a flash-client-testing site somewhere - try googling . Otherwise "locate" your flash client, uninstall it & reinstall. [19:21] i did uninstall and reinstall, even purged [19:21] restarted computer [19:21] still nothing [19:21] I boot up and clock-applet is loaded but it doesn't appear in Panel. what can be the cause of this? [19:21] tux-root--: or boot an ISO inside a vm then [19:21] nah...vm is complicated :( thanx anyways [19:22] acicula: i'm not sure what you are speaking about :o [19:22] tux-root--: bt4? [19:22] oCean: yup.... [19:22] wispurs: do you have flashplugin-installer installed? apt-cache policy flashplugin-installer [19:22] tux-root--: as in backtrack? [19:22] oCean: yup again! [19:22] tux-root--: ah, that is not supported here [19:22] does anyone know how to control fan speed when the /proc/acpi/fan folder is empty? [19:23] **** [19:23] lestat: why is not important, but if you can make it segfault in a predictable or repeatable way its usefull to report it so the maintainer can do something about it [19:23] yes, its installed [19:23] acicula: why do you speak to me about segfault and stuff ? [19:23] LuisV: not fixable :( unless you are a coder [19:23] Installed: 10.1.85.3ubuntu0.10.04.1 [19:23] Candidate: 10.1.85.3ubuntu0.10.04.1 [19:23] Version table: [19:23] *** 10.1.85.3ubuntu0.10.04.1 0 [19:23] wispurs: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[19:24] where can I get working sis3 mirage videodriver? why isn't it in already? [19:24] ugh, sorry [19:24] juk: sorry; have to be away a while; you may want to ask in #ubuntu-bugs === Weust` is now known as Weust`afk [19:24] acicula: absolutely not :) [19:24] oh nvm that was luisV [19:24] acicula: i hate this crap software :P [19:24] oh well [19:25] erUSUL: No I think it's settled no one will care about that report I guess, forget it [19:25] juk: ok; fair enough. [19:25] tux-root--: there is #backtrack-linux channel... [19:26] how would I restart the x server? [19:27] wispurs: tried re-adding applet to panel? [19:27] beagleburt: sorry, i have no idea wht that means, ive been on linux less than a week [19:27] soji: /etc/init.d/X11 restart maybe [19:28] soji: « sudo restart gdm » ? [19:29] wispurs: What Operating System are you using? [19:30] d [19:30] hi [19:30] ubuntu 10.4 [19:30] what command I should input for installing OpenGL ? [19:30] cccctr: libs for development? === Snapshot is now known as Guest22563 [19:31] erUSUL are you sure? [19:31] cccctr: is a video card driver thing (look in the menu for restricted drivers) [19:31] With apt-cache or apt-get is there a way to list package descriptions such as if I was in synaptics or in the ubuntu software manager, i am aware of apt-cache policy but that only gives me package paths [19:31] cccctr: about what? i asked if you want the opengl libs for develop opengl apps or what you mean by "installing OpenGL" [19:32] (assuming you are not developing for OpenGL) [19:32] wispurs: Good one! Me too.The "panel" is the thin top bar at the top of your screen. It usually has your username & the time/date [19:32] fumanchu182: sure, apt-cache show [19:32] erUSUL I need opengl for deleoping... c++ [19:32] #include opengl .... like that [19:32] juk, thanks [19:32] wispurs: Right click on it... [19:32] cccctr: the linux opengl implementation is called mesa [19:32] hey - i got a strange issue after upgrading to 10.10 ;) regarding Wireless and its speed [19:33] .join #mythtv-users [19:33] erUSUL "sudo apt-get install mesa" ? [19:33] okay [19:33] wispurs: Left click on "Add to Panel" option [19:33] cccctr: so you need libgl1-mesa-dev libglu1-mesa-dev xlibmesa-gl-dev and probably others [19:33] anyone can help with vnc? i can vnc into my ubuntu 10.04 box, but seems when i open a firefox app, i get disconnected, weird [19:34] wispurs: search for applet & add [19:34] K41 join #ubuntu+1 for 10.10 support [19:34] thx @ SeRVeR01 [19:34] there is no flash/shockwave aplet in there? [19:34] wispurs: look for clock applet [19:35] i have a dumb question about copying files: I have 2 folders, call them /a/foo/ and /b/foo/ [19:35] cccctr: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=375425&highlight=glut [19:35] i see the clock, but my clock is working, its my flash thats not working [19:35] i want to copy everything from inside /a/foo/ to /b/foo/, without losing what's already in /b/foo/ [19:35] can i do cp -R /a/* /b? [19:36] w4rd: how will you handle collisions? [19:36] that's what I'm wondering - will that merge the two folders, or replace /b/foo with /a/foo? [19:36] start looking in to rsync, prolly [19:36] wispurs: wait a moment, & i will try to find site that tests your machines flash client [19:36] ah, didn't think of rsync [19:36] or, make some test folders [19:37] nice! thanks beagle [19:37] erUSUL thanks, man. [19:37] w4rd: no if you have a/foo/bar/ and /b/foo/bar ? what bar you want to keep ? a version or b version? [19:38] erUSUL, there won't be any collisions inside the folders, just a collision on the folder name itself [19:38] w4rd: the folder will merge [19:39] wispurs: do you know how to use the command line /"terminal"??? [19:39] w4rd: then "cp -R /a/foo/* /b/foo/" should work as expected [19:39] w4rd: do you want to sync them, or just merge a into b, with a over-writing existing files? [19:41] WHY UBUNtu doesn't support sis mirage 3 cards? [19:41] I think this may be a linux question. I am uploading a file via SFTP and it does fine. When I do a file rename it doesn't work. What is the deal? The user and group is owner === KindTwo is now known as KindOne [19:41] w4rd: there are 3 variations - 1. make b like a, delete any in b that don't existing in a. 2. add files in a to b, over-writing existing. 3. sync a and b, making both identical, and keeping latest version of any existing files (or renaming them). [19:41] ariakus: xserver-xorg-video-sis supports them [19:42] bobaloo, i guess I need option 2, although there aren't any files in a that exist in b [19:42] Hello! I would like to ask if there is any underlying difference between Ubuntu Desktop and Ubuntu Netbook Edition (except the interface) [19:42] erUSUL, nope [19:42] i am assuming the kernel is complied differenly for netbook [19:43] bobstro, I had a script archiving files to a CIFS mount - at some point the machine rebooted, lost the mount, so stuff was just written to local disk - i'm trying to merge that stuff back onto the mounted network share [19:44] w4rd: so you want a two-way sync in case stuff on the CIFS is newer? [19:44] w4rd: or are you sure all the local stuff is newer? [19:44] i have vesa driver active and 880x600 resolution, where to get a noral driver? [19:44] all the local stuff is for sure newer, and unique named [19:45] the chmod is 755 and owner is www www [19:45] w4rd: but not all on a is on b, and you want to preserve what's already on b, right? [19:45] ariakus: no 3d support != no support at all [19:45] i am getting a faiulre on rename [19:45] w4rd: be aware that, unless you're careful, rsync will make b look just like a. unison can do a 2-way sync, but you're not after that. [19:45] i have shell how to access it with ubuntu ? [19:46] i have shell how to access it with ubuntu terminal [19:46] erUSUL, it's VESA driver, not even a ...-video-sys. plus nonnative resolution!! [19:47] bobstro, yeah, I think i'm better off just manually copying individual folder contents [19:47] i am notsure what is going on. i am logged into SSH and I am renaming a file and it workds but through this SFTP it is not working. What am I missing? [19:47] w4rd: sounds like you might want case-by-case review. [19:47] unclemantis: what sftp client? same user accounts and directories in both cases? === trism_ is now known as trism [19:48] guys, some newbie help please... I'm finding 1) that I can't save files on a drive partition and 2) that I can't edit and save an existing file in /etc/. something to do with root permissions? why does the sole user account i have not have sufficient permissions for this stuff? [19:48] w4rd: and there's stuff in a that needs to be archived that's not in master, right? [19:48] how do I mount remote machine? [19:48] bobaloo yes. I am using Netbeans [19:48] "you are not the owner so you cannot change these permissions" [19:49] Robert___: you need sudo in front of the command. [19:49] i have not tried renaming using dreamweaver, i probably should [19:49] Robert___: it is a security/safety feature. [19:49] juk: remote nfs/ssh/cifs? [19:49] bobstro: but i'm running from CLI, i'm in the GUI [19:49] llutz: no like filesystem 192.168.1.2 [19:49] juk: remote nfs/ssh/cifs? [19:50] Robert___: yes, it works the same way. you are not actually root, but you can become root. for individual commands, just put 'sudo' in front. if you want to be root for a while, do 'sudo -i' to get a root shell. [19:50] how to enable sis mirage 3 driver in ubuntu? [19:50] llutz: cannot get you [19:50] juk: or iscsi? or what? you cannot just mount an IP [19:50] llutz: i just forgot [19:50] Robert___: you'll find that when you 1st enter a sudo command, it asks for your password, but it does keep you authorized for a time, so it's not too cumbersome. [19:50] I am not sure why it is doing this. http://www.cs.cf.ac.uk/Dave/Internet/node128.html [19:50] I am reading this file and it looks to be OK [19:51] bobstro: so i can just type sudo to gain root for the whole of the current logged-in session? [19:51] Robert___: 'sudo -i' *for that shell session* yes. [19:51] Robert___: in other words, if you open two terminals, you'll do it twice. [19:51] Robert___: it's a simple way of keeping malware from over-writing critical files as a normal user. [19:52] weird, i succeed in making the scrollbar darker, but it was supposed to be red for the test [19:52] bobstro: does this apply to the GUI after ive typed it in terminal? [19:52] unclemantis: sftp does not take the same commands as ftp does. [19:53] Robert___: no. to run something from the gui, do alt-f2 and put 'gksudo' at the start of *each* command requiring root access. [19:53] Pici ok. so what permissions do i have to give my user and group? [19:53] ariakus: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=958967&page=38 [19:53] Robert___: you don't actually *become* root, but you can execute individual commands *as* root. [19:54] unclemantis: The command to rename over sftp is rename oldpath newpath , not rnfr/rfto [19:54] bobstro: shouldn't I want this install's sole user ("lisa") to become root? [19:55] This is what netbeans is using [19:55] bobstro: I've got a drive partition here I want to devote to documents storage ("Storage") but it's owned by root and "lisa" can't write to it at all for some reason [19:55] so since netbeans is using rnfr/rfto, what do i set the permissions for my user and group to? [19:55] Robert___: what type of partition? [19:56] Robert___: the short answer is 'no', you don't want that because Lisa could do something inadvertently, or execute malware as her user that could then damage your entire system. [19:56] unclemantis: rnfr isn't a valid command over SFTP. Are you sure that you don't have it setup as FTP in netbeans? [19:56] Robert___: but what we can do is get that partition mounted as owned by Lisa, which is more precisely what you want (i think). [19:56] hello. what linux distro do you recommend me, ubuntu is useless to me because of overheating problems [19:56] Robert___: is it an ntfs windows partition? [19:57] llutz: it was sshfs [19:57] pretty sure because it asks for aunticy of the RSA key fingerprint [19:57] martez89: This channel is only for Ubuntu support. If you aren't looking to troubleshoot then you want ##linux [19:57] martez89: ubuntu won't overheat more than any other. [19:57] What are the differences between the ia64 and x86_64 architectures? [19:57] and double chking [19:57] juk: sshfs [-pPORT] USER@example.org:/ ~/my-sftp/ [19:57] port 22 and I do not have an FTP damon installed either [19:57] juk: umount with: fusermount -u ~/my-sftp/ [19:57] bobstro, yes it does: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/451337 [19:58] juk: you need to be in fuser group to do that [19:58] and about 1000 more bug reports about overheating [19:58] bobstro: yes, nfts partition that i am hoping Lisa can use as a documents store, whether she's using Windows or Ubuntu (per this tutorial: http://lifehacker.com/5403100/dual+boot-windows-7-and-ubuntu-in-perfect-harmony) [19:58] #ubuntu_uk [19:58] Excuse me. [19:58] martez89: that is from 2009 you realize? [19:58] i've connected to my pptp (windows) VPN using kvpnc. when I issue "ping -I ppp0 google.com" no luck.... any ideas? if it helps, everything is at default configuration on both server and client side === The_American is now known as ChiefDean [19:59] bobstro, the bug isnt solved yet [19:59] Socrattes: too much for a irc post; wikipedia should have plenty of info on both archs [19:59] llutz: thanks, i didn't know how umount [19:59] Hi there. [20:00] How do you say it when somebody is singing out of tune and you want to specify if it's over the tune or under the tune? [20:00] Is it just over the tune? [20:00] Robert___: there are two ways. perhaps easiest is to simply have her mount it through places menu. she should have rw to it then. alternatively, mount it in /etc/fstab and specify her uid and gid in options for mount. not as trivial, but not hard. [20:00] is there no rails 1.9.2 on ubuntu? [20:00] Plishtim: I think you mean "not in tune" === SPAMSPAMSPAM is now known as iEATyour_dad [20:01] Plishtim: also not ontopic for this channel [20:01] IdleOne, but I want to specify if it's higher or lower. [20:01] Do you know what I mean? === quiesense is now known as quiescens [20:01] iEATyour_dad [20:01] iEATyour_mom [20:01] iEATyour_dad [20:01] iEATyour_mom [20:01] iEATyour_dad [20:01] iEATyour_dad: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [20:01] iEATyour_mom [20:01] iEATyour_mom: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [20:01] I know it's offtopic but it's not a big deal for you. [20:02] bobstro: as far as i know, Storage is already mounted (there's an eject icon next to it in FIle Browsers windows and it appears under the Places menu) [20:02] IdleOne, [20:02] if there is working driver, why isn't t in distro [20:02] Plishtim: come to #ubuntu-offtopic and we can try and figure it out [20:02] Thanks. [20:02] Robert___: so if she mounts it through places, she should have rights to it. to be honest, i'm not sure what will happen if you switch users and both try it at same time. [20:02] unclemantis: Can you sftp manually and use rnfr and rnto? [20:03] bobstro: gah i'm confused [20:04] Robert___: sorry, i don't mean to confuse! it's not that hard. get lisa logged in and have her open the Storage volume through places. she should have full access. but if YOU open it 1st, she may not. [20:04] Robert___: so to test, boot up, have lisa log in, have lisa open that partition in places. it should work. [20:05] bobstro: Lisa ("lisa") is the only user account on the machine - I am using lisa - but, whilst she can see the Storage contents, she can't write to it, because it says root owns it. [20:06] hi all. i just installed 10.4, and i can no longer find grub's menu.lst [20:07] how do i edit the boot menu? ubuntu's installer seems to have screwed something up, i can no longer boot into my other partition [20:07] !grub2 [20:07] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Ubuntu 9.10. For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [20:08] Pici how do i SFTP manualy? [20:08] BluesKaj: thanks. /boot/grub/grub.cfg sounds good [20:08] unclemantis: open a terminal and sftp user@server [20:09] i am finding this out :P [20:09] Robert__: i think someone advised you to enter the Storage volume in /etc/fstab before, right? [20:09] Robert__: is it already mounted? [20:10] RNFR is invalid command [20:10] Daniel_WMDE, it's different than editing in the old grub menu.list tho, so follow the instructions carefully. [20:10] this is pretty similar to what is happening to both my linux partitions when i try and boot from them: http://ubuntu-ky.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6952759 [20:11] BluesKaj: i wonder why the installer detected my other linux on sda2 - it's on sda3, sda2 is windows. something got screwed up... === masen_ is now known as masen [20:11] Robert__: did you follow all of the steps in that article? sorry, i need to figure out where you are with it. [20:12] i get a busybox limited shell with some garbage about /sys/ not existing === uvacav is now known as ehhe === ehhe is now known as uvacav [20:12] hi [20:13] sorry for the stupid question, i have downloaded 64bit ubuntu 10.04 LTS and installed it in a virtual machine with everything default and on boot i only get into the terminal, what am i doing wrong ? [20:13] bobstro: Umm yes histo advised me to create another account to usermod -dm /media/Storage lisa - I created robert to run that but it didn't seem to work [20:13] Robert__: did you create entries in /etc/fstab? [20:13] unclemantis: Well there you go then, netbeans isn't sending a valid command. [20:13] hi people [20:14] Bobstro: basically per the tutorial I have partitions for win 7, its system reservation, ubuntu and storage... [20:14] bobstro: Going to come back to you in a bit. Am at dining table [20:14] any ideas ? i don't see lilo or grub [20:14] Fstab is populated with entries for all 4 - I can then show you the text if needed [20:14] Robert__: ok, i'll be here [20:15] hello somewone can help me about restoring jpeg ? (its real important) [20:15] Robert__: send fstab to pastebin when you can and beep me here. [20:15] oi [20:15] going down for reboot, trying the new grub config. wish me luck... [20:15] Pici: hello?

[20:16] portugues [20:17] killazQc: repeating yourself over and over doesn't make anyone want to help you more [20:17] pici said unknown command [20:17] invalid that is [20:17] i know but it was just in case nobody read it [20:17] unclemantis: So the problem is with netbeans, not with your permissions. [20:17] no need to exite urself over one not repeat it was slightly diferrent [20:18] killazQc, for converting to jpeg try imagemagick [20:18] Pici ok. So netbeans is calling a command that does not exist [20:19] unclemantis: Correct. [20:19] not for converting for RESTORING (my cat died an my father dindt know we took picture and he erase it so im trying real bad to restore it now) [20:20] i tried restorejpeg but nothing from my cat show up i would like to know if there is something stronger to restore [20:20] So what a sensible place to mount my 9TB raid5 array on, on my new NAS system [20:20] Hello, I have a Ubuntu system running MythTV on it, I recently upgraded the video card to an nVidia 210 with HDMI output built on it. the drivers installe dfine and it's outputting to a Sony Bravia XBR LCD. the problem I have is that the desktop is streched out on all 4 edges of the screen, changing the resolution doesn't seem to help at all, is there something that is different with HDMI output as opposed to using a regular monitor [20:20] killazQc, testdisk?

[20:34] i installed mplayer....but it is not working [20:34] Robert___: right now, you have Storage mounting automatically as /media/Storage when the system starts. is that what you want? is that where you want it to appear? [20:34] i installed mplayer....but it is not working....help me [20:34] babu__, why dn't you explain "what's not working" [20:34] bobstro: ok, so what i want, per lifehacker, is to have partitions for 1) System Reserved (Win 7 boot), 2) WIndows 7, 3) Ubuntu, 4) A data store accessible for read/write by both the user from both WIndows 7 and Ubuntu...

[20:42] Hello [20:42] Robert___: you can leave the umask bit. no spaces between options. we're just adding the uid= & gid= bits.

I'm using filezilla client if that makes any difference [20:48] alaing: http://movabletripe.com/archive/recursively-chmod-directories-only/ [20:48] bobstro: yes, saving an openoffice doc to /media/Storage/Documents works - and i can see in the GUI dialog for file permissions on Storage that it's owned by lisa and in the lisa group [20:49] Robert___: so that is ONE WAY to do it. is this satisfactory? [20:49] Robert___: do you want lisa to be able to mount and unmount it, or just have it 'there'? [20:49] bobstro: I want this state to be the case all the time, without having to worry about doing this every time manually, after boot etc [20:49] samw3: do i need to do cd /var/www/ before running through those commands? [20:50] yes. or change the find . to find /var/www/ [20:50] Robert___: ok, then it should be fine as-is. do you want the files to be under /media/Storage, or better under /home/lisa or /home/lisa/Desktop? [20:50] how do i find my usb drive from the terminal ? [20:50] Robert___: to verify, you might want to reboot now and test it. this is an internal drive, right? not usb or external? [20:50] so i can cd into the drive ect [20:50] etc^ [20:50] z00m: cd /media [20:51] samw3: ok let me test quickly [20:51] thanks samw3 [20:51] bobstro: i will test - brb (one thing: what was the umask=0222 i deleted?) === fumanchu182 is now known as Evil_Otter [20:51] <_mag_> Hi :) So, I'm using the netbook remix, and I think the launcher bar on the left hand side of my screen is just in the way. Is there any way to hide it or disable it entirely? I've tried logging in with the "Ubuntu Netbook 2D"-variant. This mode is without the sidebar, but it is without the neat global menubar. I'm a bit picky about my screen real estate, you see ;) [20:51] Robert___: it is not a bad thing. basically, it masks off the execute bit, so programs can't run from that location. [20:52] When listening to rythmbox and a new song starts the indicator bar shows a black popup with the name of the song. How do I turn it off?

For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [20:52] _mag_: that bar at left is how you select between the different tabs of apps. aren't all your apps opening up full-screen over it? [20:53] <_mag_> bobstro: No, they are opening full screen beside it :( [20:53] _mag_: is this 10.04 or 10.10? [20:53] _mag_: on my 10.04, each app opens full screen over that launcher. [20:53] <_mag_> bobstro: 10.10. Sorry, I forgot being specific :) === Evil_Otter is now known as fumanchu182 [20:54] _mag_: i know they changed netbook under 10.10, but i can't help ya! sorry. [20:54] what service handles the detection of usb devices when they are plugged in? [20:54] <_mag_> bobstro: Yes, it's not the same bar. Programs are still opening over the old bar :) Ok, well, thanks anyway :) [20:54] bobstro: ok that's retained upon restart... [20:54] _mag_: i thing #ubuntu+1 is support for 10.10. i'm sure someone will correctly me shortly if not. :) [20:55] samw3: udev [20:55] bobstro: Thats correct. [20:55] Robert___: ok. now you can modify the other partitions similarly if you want. you may not want lisa poking at actual windows system unless she's tech savvy. [20:55] alpha_: Go to edit->plugins select Status Icon click configure and set notifications to never [20:55] samw3: still having issues when I ftp to that directory as my user it still blocks it from apache [20:55] <_mag_> bobstro: Thanks! :) [20:55] So, did anybody try to run 10.10. Does 10.10 have problems [20:55] with virtual terminals? [20:56] bobstro: she's not savvy enough to even consider it... [20:56] mrbrown: go to #ubuntu+1 , this channel is for Ubuntu 10.04 or older === fumanchu182 is now known as Evil_Otter [20:56] Robert___: then i'd only mount the Storage volume. you could do something nifty like create a link (shortcut) on her desktop that points to /media/Storage/Documents and such. [20:57] samw3: dbus does that [20:57] how to control screen lamp in Ubuntu? [20:57] bobstro: ok, that's great. so what i want now, per lifehacker, is for both WIndows' and Ubuntu's user files area to be the same thing, on Storage... the structure of this is basically the same... they each have Documents, Pictures, Music and Videos... i have already recreated this (blank folders) on Storage and told Windows 7 to look for Lisa's library there... now i would like to do the same on ubuntu [20:57] ariakus_: Are you on a laptop? [20:57] alaing: not sure what you mean by "blocks" [20:57] mr_chris, thank you! [20:58] bobstro: the aim being, she will choose her own OS - but i want her to have access to the same documents in each, not have to boot out to another OS just to find a doc.

[20:58] is there a way i can make it so afte ra certain amount of time of inactivity; it requires me to enter my password? [20:58] ariakus_: I guessing that by screen lamp you mean the LCD backlight. Have you tried the keyboard shortcuts on your laptop? [20:58] bobstro: so, maybe what i'm talking about is, how do i point Ubuntu's home lisa folder at Storage, or how do I make Storage Ubuntu's home folder?

[21:06] arakus they were purchased on itunes when i had my iphone but some how when i converted from aac format to mp3 the track info got screwed up [21:06] Robert___: right-click on the folder you want to link to -- documents, music or whatever -- and select 'make link'.

[21:06] Chaos2358, then any one will do [21:06] Robert___: that should create a 'Link to ' in that directory.

I just want to ftp using my_user to /var/www without any issues [21:08] Robert___: double-click that link to verify it opens up the correct folder. [21:08] alaing: what ftp server are you using? [21:08] ariakus none of the ones in the software center will search the web i was hoping there is a third party that will [21:08] samw3: default one from ubuntu 10. [21:08] Robert___: fyi, what you are doing is creating a 'symbolic link'. [21:08] is there anything i can use to make some frontends to termal apps ? [21:08] Chaos2358, strange [21:08] thats simple to use ? [21:08] z00m, no [21:08] bobstro: yes, have created a symbolic link for /media/Storage/Documents [21:08] growisofs for one [21:09] samw3: default one from ubuntu 10.04 server edtion. how do i check what services are running and then i could tell you [21:09] z00m, try python, it comes by default [21:09] z00m: zenitry perhaps? [21:09] ariakus cowbell claims to do it but when you try it wont connect [21:09] z00m: wow, typo. I meant 'zenity' [21:09] Robert___: now you can put that wherever you'd like. [21:09] alaing: it should be vsftpd [21:09] Robert___: last step is to create those nice bookmarks you can use in nautilus. [21:10] samw3: thats the one I can confirm it === andrea is now known as Guest63361 [21:10] i love linux man its just like im going back over though. I love the power of it but, it just makes life hard. I mean to burn an iso with a layerbreak i need to use the terminal :/ [21:10] Robert___: so open the folder using that nifty new link. [21:10] bobstro: so you're suggesting i delete eg. /home/lisa/Documents and replace it with the symbolic link to /media/Storage/documents? [21:10] Robert___: that's pretty much what the lifehacker article says. would you rather not? [21:11] z00m, well, layerbreak is not normal stuff ... [21:11] Robert___: just be sure nothing's in there already! [21:11] any idea how I find the httpd.conf thats loaded and running when i go to /etc/apache2/httpd.conf its completely blank file [21:11] Robert___: what is common is to delete the linux originals, then substitute links to shared directories. [21:11] step21, it is on windows though it comes with options in settings for it or even a .dvd file with the info already there for the app to use. [21:11] Robert___: you certainly don't have to though. [21:12] bobstro: no, nothing in there. oh i didn't read the article that way... [21:12] alaing: there's a way, but i can't remember what it's called. [21:13] samw3: for ftp issue? [21:13] Robert___: you could also just leave the links on the desktop and ignore the directories in her home folder. [21:13] i was thinking if i made a front end that let me choose my ISO, also set the layerbreak in a textbox and hit burn. it would be alot easier than typing a massive string in all the time. [21:13] bobstro: so, we wouldn't consider making it so that lisa's home folder was *actually* /media/Storage? (i don't know if that's possible or desirable) [21:13] Robert___: there are a hundred ways to do it, none of which are wrong. [21:13] alaing: yeah. [21:13] could use a bash script init [21:13] Robert___: you could, but then a BUNCH of cruft will be in Storage that she might not recognize and delete. i'd keep her linux home separate, and just point to documents. i did this for my family. [21:14] Where do you put binaries in a Linux system? /usr/local/* and make a symlink to /usr/local/bin/? [21:14] then feed the input to the burning command, like burn "iso name" -l "my layerbreak" would be more simple. [21:14] hi. i'm testing the new font in 10.10. When enabling subpixel rendering the font gets really thin and tall, compared to "best shapes" and "best contrast" rendering. Does anyone else have this problem? [21:16] i just found that this is visible with font size 9, not with 10 [21:16] bobstro: ok, well, interesting... so will this work across the board? ie. assuming i rename the symbolic "Link to Documents" to "Documents" and put that in /home/lisa in place of the genuine /home/lisa/Documents... that will always effectively *be* /home/lisa/Documents, and will function as such if anything calls on /home/lisa/Documents? [21:17] I seem to have a nonfunctional dpkg process sitting in the background locking my /var/lib/dpkg/lock file. It was in the middle of install MRTG and it stopped doing anything, I left it for 30 minutes and then I tried to ctrl+c with no luck, so I actually closed that ssh session and then reconnected, and now the dpkg won't die. kill -9 12345 doesn't end it either [21:17] hey, can anyone tell me where I can modify my power saving settings (regarding wireless) [21:18] can someone give me a link to a .torrent for Maverick Ubuntu that doesn't cause my BitTorrent client to complain that the tracker says the torrent is unauthorized? [21:18] er [21:18] there is apparently some kind of permissions issue with the torrents available here: http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/maverick/beta [21:18] does vsftpd have a channel? [21:19] (I also meant Xubuntu, not Ubuntu, but the problem remains on either) [21:20] Robert___: yes, you can rename the symbolic links. [21:20] alaing: #vsftpd (its small :-)) [21:20] how can I make a program run without sudo? ie: sudo smartctl [21:20] chmod+x thing [21:20] Robert___: just remember that the symbolic links are pointing to where the originals are *now*. if you change the mount location, delete and re-create the symbolic links. [21:21] Current Version of Ubuntu Please [21:21] uLinux: don't - system control should be done only as root [21:21] Robert___: last step is open the links, then replace the existing bookmarks entries to point to them. [21:21] guntbert: I need to get temperature from smartctl [21:21] using conky [21:21] uLinux, things you run with sudo are being run as the superuser, root, and thus still need to be run with sudo. There isn't just some option to change, they require root privileges [21:21] guntbert: i see what you mean :) [21:22] samw3: you recon its vsftpd thats causing my problems? [21:22] uLinux, have you tried lm-sensors? [21:22] bobstro: those entries on the bottom of the left-hand pane in Nautilus windows? [21:22] demonspork: i use lm-sensors.. with hddtemp but i dont want hddtemp because it causes I/O [21:22] How can I disable TCP timestamps in openssh-server? [21:22] alaing: yes. there's a way to reconfig vsftp to substitute the webserver's user on upload, but i can't remember how [21:23] Robert___: in the Bookmarks menu [21:23] uLinux: there's a way [21:23] yes hi guys i have got a question: how can i unpack like 3 or more .rar parts? [21:23] n01s3, 10.04,1 you need kernel version or what? [21:23] samw3: how? [21:23] Robert___: what's in left-hand pane in nautilus can change, so i'm being cautious. [21:23] jojo244, ried unrar? [21:23] downloading 10.10 testing now [21:23] jojo244: unrar e something.rar [21:23] it will automatically unpack all .rar parts [21:23] ty arakus [21:23] yes but only one parts gets unpacked [21:24] samw3: i found the config file [21:24] ty ariakus [21:24] part* [21:24] Robert___: but if you've selected 'places' at the top of that pane, it will be the same, yes. [21:24] uLinux: let me show you the dark side: /etc/sudoers :) [21:24] bobstro: oh, durr... ok, so what am i doing with Bookmarks? === bgdn86 is now known as hail86 [21:24] God Bless Ubuntu [21:24] samw3: surely it shoudl not matter as long as the ftp client is logged in as that user? [21:24] Robert___: just replacing the old bookmarks that point to the original linux folders with our new friends. [21:24] Ubuntu Gangstaz 4 Lyfe! [21:25] n01s3: is that a new channel? [21:25] alaing: yeah, you could log in as www-data. i don't recommend it, but you can do it. [21:25] bobstro: but, if the Bookmarks there are all now symbolic links, is there any point? [21:25] yeah boyee [21:26] lets make it [21:26] Robert___: yes, in that the bookmarks show up as shortcuts in many apps, and also the existing ones may be broken if you deleted the empty originals, and confusing if nothing else. [21:26] !ot [21:26] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [21:26] samw3: .. [21:26] could i not somehow hook my_user into www-data? [21:26] alaing - I'm not a very good op [21:26] found this http://justcheckingonall.wordpress.com/2009/06/26/smartmontools-and-conky/ [21:26] alaing, no! use acls instead [21:26] Robert___: if you copied the symbolic links into the home directory and they had the same name, they may be just fine as-is. === kenny is now known as Guest77042 [21:27] Robert___: hard to tell from here. :) [21:27] alaing: that's the config option i can't remember [21:27] ariakus_: acls? [21:27] bobstro: well, what i'm doing is making symbolic links for the folders which are the contents of /media/Storage (eg. Documents, Music et al) and putting those symbolic-link folders in /home/lisa in place of the originals [21:27] alaing, create a group for ftp users and put it to that folders ACL [21:27] Robert___: oh, ok. in that case, the bookmarks should still work. test them to be sure. [21:28] Robert___: some people like the symlinks on the desktop, etc. === Guest77042 is now known as cabledude [21:28] uLinux: http://rantomatic.co.uk/2009/06/02/howto-simple-sudoers-tutorial/ [21:29] Robert___: is it shaping up like what you wanted? [21:29] bobstro: so far, for the two that i've replaced with symlinks, they both work - though, interestingly, the filepath in the Nautilus window is *appearing* as though it were the original, actual location, rather than the redirected on on Storage [21:29] Robert___: yes, symlinks look like actual locations, though it *might* vary in some apps. [21:29] ciao [21:30] !list [21:30] This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » [21:30] ariakus_: ok i created a group. I then need to assign my users to that group. Will I still be using /var/www? [21:30] Robert___: test to your own satisfaction that it works. [21:30] this maybe a question for another channel. but does anyone know where to get an extension for firefox to view VRM files like the ones nagios creates? [21:30] Robert___: you could open the folders on Storage in nautilus and update bookmarks to point to those instead, if that's less confusing. symlinks will still appear as 'real' location though. === Claudinux_ is now known as Claudinux [21:31] anlarye: http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/projectvrm/Firefox_plugin [21:32] ariakus_: i assigned my users to that group. now what do i need to do? [21:33] then add that group to var/www ACL [21:33] hye all [21:33] bobstro: all sounds good, though maybe hard to know until the system is used in earnest. most important thing is that OpenOffice files work across both systems, but i've proved that with one test just now. [21:33] anyone know what tool can i use for shoutcast? [21:34] crackstore, for what? broadcast or lesson? [21:34] Robert___: just be sure to keep anti-virus and spyware software updated on the windows side! [21:34] can someone tell me how to change PM-util settings? [21:34] crackstore: transmitting or receiving? [21:34] broadcast.. because i want to onair [21:34] icecast [21:34] bobstro: if i'm not *actually* putting home on Storage, i guess i'll have to always keep on eye out for what new folders might need to be reflected on both sides in future? [21:34] darksnow + darkice [21:34] Robert___: you may encounter a situation where the ntfs volume will not mount under linux if the windows machine was not shut down properly. [21:34] icecast? [21:34] is anyone else having trouble trying to torrent Xubuntu? [21:35] pretty much documentation on the shoutcast site [21:35] bobstro, windows XP and laterneed no antivirus or antispyware [21:35] Hi, one simple question. Whats the password of the defaul id_rsa private key. the password from my user don´t work (not changed yet) thanks! [21:35] Robert___: well, that's where i take issue with the lifehacker article. they describe using rsync, but that's ONE WAY synchronization. [21:35] ariakus_: you are joking i hope [21:35] ariakus_: sorry for sounding stupid but how do I "add that group to var/www ACL" I'm new to linux and normally use windows and xampp [21:35] datacrusher, apt-get install icesast? [21:35] jtd, i torrented Maverick ubuntu today and it was fine [21:35] somebody: umm, what do you mean by "default id_rsa private key"? [21:35] jrib: this: /home/username/.ssh/id_rsa [21:35] crackstore: icecast is synonymous [21:36] somebody: there's no such file by default. You must have created it [21:36] ActionParsnip, that means? [21:36] crackstore: similar but not the same [21:36] i used it a time with my ubuntu system. just made ssh-copy-id without creating before. i thought. [21:36] bobstro: difficult to know what to do with the remaining folders in /home/lisa that aren't symlinks... Desktop, ICAClient, Public, Templates, Ubuntu One and Examples [21:36] ohh.. [21:36] and my system never asked for it. [21:36] ActionParsnip, can use for on air? [21:36] bobstro: strange; i don't see mention of rsync [21:37] crackstore, icecast is a streaming server, the clients works with shoutcast if configured properly. darksnow is agui frontend for darkice, a connection to icecast servers [21:37] somebody: you created it and set the password when you created it [21:37] crackstore: not sure whatthat is, look at what icecastcan do to see [21:37] bobstro, only windows 200 had problems of that kind [21:37] jrib: hm, can´t remember. but thanks! [21:37] Robert___: pretty much ignore those, since they're mostly for under linux. the exception might be ubuntu one. you *could* set it up to share files via the cloud using ubuntuone, but there's no need to with this solution. [21:37] bobstro: an exciting prospect, nonetheless :) [21:37] ariakus_: i do not wish to argue, but that is absolutely not the case. the majority of spyware and recent viruses target xp and recent bretheren. [21:38] hi [21:38] ActionParsnip, oke.. thanks.. i try find it [21:38] anyone experrience wireless blackputs in ubuntu? [21:38] Robert___: i closed the page, but i thought i saw something there about rsync. [21:38] im help error [21:38] Robert___: ubuntuone or dropbox or similar will be an option if you want lisa to move to a machine somewhere else, perhaps. not needed for what you're describing now though. [21:39] ariakus_: sorry for sounding stupid but how do I "add that group to var/www ACL" I'm new to linux and normally use windows and xampp [21:39] !details | karkwa [21:39] karkwa: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [21:39] ok im sorry [21:40] alaing one minute [21:40] ariakus_: ok [21:40] Robert___: so is it what you wanted? [21:41] bobstro: it's an alternative to what i expected we might do (actually locating home on Storage), but seems quicker... i can't thank you enough [21:41] Hello all, [21:41] alaing study docs of getfacl/setfacl [21:41] I'm using Ubuntu server without GUI [21:41] is it normal that "somecommand 2>&1 | tee foobar.txt" is spitting out the output in a very sudden manner (30 lines at a time) instead of smoothly displaying one line at a time? somecommand outputs a line every second or two, yet tee only outputs every 20-30 === karkwa is now known as kwakwa [21:42] CrAzYoNi: many people do [21:42] How can I change the source from command-line env. ? (I want to change it from USA to IL [Israel]) [21:42] CrAzYoNi: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list [21:42] fgasiogjd, it's called buffering [21:42] bobstro: really great help. i thought irc nowadays was full of jerks; apparently not. i've learned a good amount here. now i need to learn how else i can normalise Ubuntu for my GF, ie. iPod sync, printer and scanner access [21:42] Robert___: my point is that home itself is only relevant to linux, so i leave it on linux filesystem. documents are shared, so i point those to shared filesystem. as i said, many ways to do things, none of which are 'wrong' === cosmo is now known as Luiggiuzzo [21:42] bobstro: sounds fair enough [21:42] Robert___: irc is like trying to hold a conversation on the freeway doing 90MPH. :) [21:43] ariakus_: yes but I thought the whole point of tee was to see the output and redirect it to a file, not "buffer for a while and then eventually display stuff" [21:43] Robert___: printer isn't bad. i can sync my media player, but it ain't itunes. :) [21:43] | does buffering [21:43] is there a way to make it not buffer more than one line? [21:44] i havde no idea [21:44] or rather, pass lines on as it gathers them [21:45] looks like there's a command called unbuffer [21:45] bobstro: ah, you say printer isn't bad - but i can't yet imagine how i'm going to connect Ubuntu to out HP Deskjet f4580 *wirelessly* like on my Mac :) [21:45] fucl [21:45] Hey I'm having a problem with my printer; My Aunt just changed it from a Dymanic IP Address to a Static IP address and now whenever I'm in .gnome The printer will work for a while but then I have to restart my computer to get the printer to work again any ideas on how to fix this? [21:45] Robert___: if you're lucky, driver is provided. if not, you get to hunt for a .PPD file (like my dell). network printers are fairly straightforward though. [21:45] Robert___: HP love linux, it'll be fine [21:45] fuck [21:46] hi i want a script to make the machine reboot i tryed "gksudo 'shutdown -r now'" but it makes a windows pop and ask for the sudo password [21:46] kwakwa: Please watch your language [21:46] hey guys, I got a question about partitioning and installing different OS. I have my computer running ubuntu installed alongside WinXP. Now last time I had it set up like this and had to re-install windows every time at boot it wouldn't give me an option to choose between ubuntu and windows. I think it's because windows got installed again later. Anyway, my question is, how can I install (or re-install) windows without losing the option of accessing my [21:46] cool [21:46] kwakwa: not now. daddy's busy. [21:46] is there anyway i can make it so i already entered the password or bypass it ? [21:46] bobstro: errrr, no feed troll plz kthnx [21:47] :) [21:47] Testing 123 [21:47] Braber01: what outputs do you get when you try to print? [21:47] Madwill: well, sudo or gksudo will ask for the password of the currently logged in user. Don't you have it? Then you can't use gksudo commands. You'll have to do something else. I'd have a hint maybe if you tell me what you're trying. [21:48] ActionParsnip: I don't get any Outputs the printer just stops working [21:48] Andy2113: read up on boot recovery disks and procedures. you won't have to re-install but windows may over-write boot menu (grub). [21:48] Andy2113: you can't. Windows will rewrite the MBR. You will need to boot to liveCD to reinstate grub [21:48] Test [21:48] madwill chmod +s /sbin/shutdown [21:48] whois franksterville [21:48] hello [21:48] ariakus_: that'll require sudo too ;) [21:48] wam thx: i do have this password but i would need this script to run without me [21:48] Braber01: so no messages on screen or lights flashing on the printer? [21:48] ariakus_: another solution that I came across is calling fflush on stdout (only applicable if you have access to the app's source, of course) [21:48] !list [21:48] This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » [21:48] Im the big giant new noober [21:48] Madwill: then listen to ariakus_ . [21:48] ActionParsnip: Yes That is correct [21:49] Nevermind, I changed it manually under /etc/apt/sources.list (using script I replaced each [us.] with [il.] thanks though. [21:49] 2 [21:49] Braber01: if you restart the cups service can you then print? Can you ping the IP? [21:49] thx is sbin/shutdown supposed to be my script or do i just write what he says [21:49] fgasiogjd, there should be some obscure setting in /proc somewhere [21:49] funny thing is I just went through all this setting up print server w/ ububtu [21:49] ActionParsnip, I haven't tried that and I don't know how to do that [21:50] /msg ubottu !bot [21:50] thanks guys! I'm reading up on it as I type this. [21:50] apt-get seems to think this bitnami lampstack doesnt have apache2 -- it does -- but it doesnt have mod_perl (or so it would seem.). how can i make apt-get see the existing apache2 and set up a mod_perl for it? or how can i set up a mod_perl for the apache2 thats on there? [21:50] add sudo before chmod [21:50] Madwill: you could add the suid bit (chmod +s) to /sbin/shutdown in order to allow any user to call it as he/she were root without sudo [21:50] ariakus_: no root access, so it looks like the best solution for me is to fflush gratuitiously [21:50] ok thx i'll try this right now [21:51] Madwill: if that's not what you want, you may look at /etc/sudoers to create special rights for some users using sudo without a password. [21:51] Madwill: in that case you'd read man sudoers [21:51] Braber01: sudo service cups stop; sleep 5; sudo service cups start [21:51] ariakus_: acl was not installed I installed it and manged to use a simple getfacl. [21:52] ariakus_: do i need to change the group? [21:52] hi === sabayonuser3 is now known as cormorano [21:52] wam should i reboot because it stills ask for a password when i call the rebootscript from the exterior [21:52] ALAING no just add it to group part of /var/www acl [21:52] hey [21:53] I'm just discovered that one of my disks in my raid1 config has failed. I'm preparing to replace the drive and wanted to know if there is a site that has instructions for rebuilding the array using dmraid [21:53] co tam? [21:53] Madwill: did you still call it with gksudo? Just do it without! [21:53] !pl [21:53] Na tym kanale używamy tylko języka angielskiego. Możesz uzyskać pomoc w języku polskim na #ubuntu-pl. [21:53] ok [21:53] I'm running dmraid on ubuntu 9.04 [21:53] ariakus_: not quiet sure what i'm doing now. the group is already set to my_user [21:53] you speak polish? [21:53] i do still use gksudo [21:53] Anyone advise to use a ubuntu server as a nas? [21:53] ariakus_: do i change it to the new group ftphome? [21:53] my name is karolina im from poland [21:53] Madwill: just execute "/sbin/shutdown -r now" or something. [21:53] Hello, how can I boot from WIndows 7? I tried everything out without any solution [21:53] NicoleC: look into sftp and / or samba [21:54] trying it as we speak [21:54] ;) [21:54] jack__: boot what? [21:54] boot? [21:54] anyone can help with vnc? i can vnc into my ubuntu 10.04 box, but seems when i open a firefox app, i get disconnected, weird [21:54] I'd like to boot Windows 7 [21:54] jack__: so you installed ubuntu and can't boot win7 from grub2? [21:54] irc.sceneaccess.org [21:55] correct [21:55] jack__: so why didnt you say that? [21:55] I am not English, I didnt know how to say that [21:55] I am sorry for that [21:56] AndroidLoverInSF: if you have a proprietary graphics driver (e.g. from nvidia or ati) try to start x with an open source driver when using vnc. I remember that there were some issues with those proprietary drivers. [21:56] alaing, which acl it has now? [21:56] how to install libcurl ? [21:56] jack__: did you have windows 7 already installed before installing Ubuntu? [21:56] what do i need to install via apt-get ? [21:56] !grub | jack__ [21:56] jack__: grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows?

In kaffeine 0.8.8 you can configure video driver as vdpau and watch hd channels without problem. but in 1.1 version of kaffeine thats not possible. so my question is how to enable vdpau with kaffeine in lucid 10.04? === adante_ is now known as adante [23:09] hey who is doing what with my nick? === BladeMcCool_ is now known as BladeMcCool [23:09] <__cool__> Lychaeus: yes. it worked fine [23:09] can someone help me get my wifi going? fuijutsi-siemens amilo [23:09] How can i make quick synergy start at startup, and connect to the server?

Not sure why its doing that other than a wrong layout or you have some funky function key mishap. [23:13] http://pastebin.com/Rf6yniU1 <--- is this how you do a if statement in bash script [23:14] does ifconfig show you a wlan0 device?

[23:16] sedeki: can you try this http://georgia.ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=9285383&postcount=4 [23:17] Hello. can anyone tell me what's the status of btrfs in meerkat's release candidate? [23:17] WOHOOO [23:17] is there some magic trick to force evolution to be standards compliant, i.e. plain text as default? [23:17] acicula: thanxxxx [23:17] :-) [23:17] my panel looks like CRAP http://yfrog.com/izpanelzp how to make it Look SEXY? [23:17] U2010: As I understand it, it's available in the installer's partitioning, but isn't default. #ubuntu+1 would likely know better. [23:17] (so you can use it, but you need to tell it to use it) [23:17] Ifur, text/plain is not a standard [23:17] sedeki: http://georgia.ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=9361100&postcount=7 may or may not be usefull in your case, but if you dont have connection issues id just leave it [23:17] rww: I'll ask there. thanks [23:18] this worked [23:18] thanks [23:18] brb on my wifi [23:18] sedeki: i figured :) sweet [23:18] can some please tell me how to find out which driver a usb wifi dong is using? TIA! [23:18] nimbiotics: paste your device name [23:18] ariakus_: fine, is there way to force evolution to follow plain text as default in emaisl convention, so I can keep my sanity? [23:18] nimbiotics: there is only one driver for a device so [23:19] nimbiotics: I think you can use sudo lshw -C network [23:19] what I 've to do with that awful panel? [23:19] ariakus_: because, it is *the* convention, at least 90% use it (windows people are not part of my world). [23:21] Since when is plain text ASCII not a standard? [23:21] So I cannot default to text with evolution mail client? [23:21] Ask the Evolution people, they'd probably know. [23:21] I use Thunderbird, so I can't help. [23:21] Ifur, tried gconf? it could be somewgere [23:21] acicula: device name is wlan0 [23:21] wo [23:21] ariakus_: thanks. === zz_sailerboy is now known as sailerboy [23:22] nimbiotics: nono, the output from lspci | grep Network tells you what the device is [23:22] Wildfire: Ubuntu, gnome, evolution, aren't you all part of the same ecosystem, kind of? [23:22] To get a graphical view of the system devices and possibly drivers there's hwinfo. [23:23] acicula: its a usb device: Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0bda:8189 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8187B Wireless 802.11g 54Mbps Network Adapter [23:23] Possibly sysinfo [23:23] hwinfo sucks [23:23] There's a few utils available as well as the commandline lspci and such. [23:24] if i change my driver in xorg.conf to sis when i restart my laptop the screen goes all weird after the ubuntu logo then nothin [23:24] * Wildfire shrugs [23:25] anyone? [23:26] nimbiotics: driver's called rtl8187 [23:26] Anyone else have major stability issues when using nivida-current with a 7xxx series graphics card?, it is so bad that I had to use my ancient thinkpad while I found time to re-install [23:26] so far using the nouveau driver it has not crashed [23:27] Woohooo irc on iPad [23:27] Can someone guide for an ALSA instalation? [23:27] nimbiotics: looks like it has support for quite awhile, you having trouble getting it to work? [23:27] my panel looks like CRAP http://yfrog.com/izpanelzp how to make it Look SEXY? [23:27] noir_lord: having used Nvidia in linux for a decade, newer drivers tend to *rarely* offer performance imporvements or new features to old cards, they actually often make them slower! [23:27] Licuadora: ubuntu uses ALSA under the hood [23:28] acicula: i dnt mena 2 b funny but, i know the name of the driver, i just dnt know how to find it using ubuntu. i need to update it in order to make sure i can do injection [23:28] acicula: Well, I do not have any sound [23:28] nimbiotics: its somewhere under /lib/modules/ [23:29] ariakus_: get a plain background image or color, the gradient is really not working vertically [23:29] noir_lord: only reason to upgrade nvidia driver is if the kernel actually requires it. [23:29] you can however just patch the kernel source and copy over the configuration and just build the module you want [23:29] hey anyone know anything about kTorrent? [23:29] Ifur, I've always found the opposite, that the newer drivers are at least as stable as the older drivers and often have useful bug fixes, I will try deliberately installing an older driver [23:30] Transmission is my fav torrent client [23:30] this is turning into a show stopper, I have a big programming job due monday and I really don't have time for this [23:30] If Ubuntu 10.10 comes with ALSA "under the hood" like acicula says, how come all of the ALSA utils are deleted from synaptic? [23:30] but vertial stacked icons and turned text?? [23:30] transmission? [23:30] cool thanks [23:30] ill try that [23:30] Quick question: [23:30] noir_lord: arent the packaged nvidia binary drivers not working? [23:30] What distro u on [23:30] I installed Ubuntu 10.10 [23:30] *are [23:30] And am experiencing sever mouse lag [23:31] TheLimeRunner: try #ubuntu+1 for 10.10 support [23:31] Thanks [23:31] noir_lord: having a simmilar experience, I'm never moving away from CLI ever again, good bye Evolution, hello Mutt -- here boy! [23:31] evening folks. my ubuntu 10.04 install crashed horriblly, and won't boot anymore - after bios i'm dropped to grub rescue [23:31] This is why I stick to lts distros [23:31] it has alsamixer? [23:31] i don't care too much about restoring it to working, i'd just like to recover my files [23:31] however, i can't mount the exsiting partions under a live cd [23:31] acicula, I get two different kinds of crashses, X11 totally freezes, even the magic sysrq fails and another where X11 crashes and then the audio freezes followed by a lovely screech that scares the cat horribly [23:32] franksterville, this is 10.04 LTS I'm using, I mostly stick with the LTS since I *need* it to just work [23:33] i show sda1 as fat32 - the old windows install, that'll mount, but i don't care about that, then sda2 is just labed 'extended', and sda5 is linux swap. i can't get either of those to mount [23:33] you cant mount extended partitions or swap [23:34] acicula: yeah...it seems so...but then wehere could the other partition have gone? [23:34] those are the only three that show on fdisk -l [23:34] can you pastebin the output? [23:34] When partitions disappear, system crash, and partitions can't be mounted, I do a check of the hardware. Might be a failing drive. [23:35] of fdisk? uh, one sec, i gotta hook that pc up to the net [23:35] could be the partition got deleted somehow but that doesnt happen out of the blue [23:35] i suspect harddrive failure. it is an older laptop [23:35] Backups. [23:36] well or if you understand the output check the cilinders for missing stuff [23:36] Always make backups. [23:36] but id guess there has to be a sda6 in there somewhere [23:36] I've got a bad install and need to reinstall. System is set to boot off USB key, but when it tries to it looks like the usb key is just trying to load off the hard drive and dumping me to a "grub rescue>" prompt. Any way to force the installer to run off the usb key like it's expected to? [23:36] hah, yeah, unfortuanetly it's been in the care of my parents [23:36] Or at least have two drives in a RAID 1 for some basic redundancy. [23:37] now that it's crashed, they want me to fix it of course [23:37] I always dreaded having to do retail PC repairs when I was working for the consulting company. [23:37] wipe first, fix later [23:37] The answer to the question of "Did you make a backup?" is not "well....." It's yes or no [23:38] I have my important stuff on a slackware server that just sits in the corner doing it's thing, no offense to ubuntu but when there are large sums of money (to me anyway) involved I keep my source on a slackware box [23:38] yeah its not the software thats keeping your bits alive youknow [23:38] I don't have anything really important but if I want to keep something, I stuff it on my FreeNAS box I've got in the corner. [23:39] It's at least got a basic RAID1 going with two drives. [23:39] hah, the answer in this case is a resounding 'no' [23:40] I'm paranoid about it, I lost alot of work when I had a laptop hard drive release it's magic smoke and I'd done a couple of weeks of hard work and not sync'd [23:40] fdisk output: http://pastebin.com/SWENxj1S === Liammm is now known as Liammm|AFK [23:40] hey anyone know how to use Transmission? [23:40] now I back up to the slackware server, the media PC and a linode instance via SCP [23:40] Yea, there's been a lot of work lost when the magic smoke gets released. [23:41] It's why even on a Windows network you can force some of the defaults to go to the network server instead of allowing a local save. [23:41] anyway, im a torrent noob. im downloading a movie, is there anything specal i have to do when its finished downloading? mounth it or something [23:42] heu [23:42] When people hit the save button and Windows default is "My Documents" and it's been redirected to the network server and people just automatically hit save, that document is safe from at least that PC failing. [23:42] sda1 starts before the end of sda2 [23:42] elias_, not usually, they are just regular avi files (with various encodings), mplayer or vlc should handle them [23:42] so i just right click- play [23:42] acicula: hm, yeah [23:42] and 1-18754 -1 is not allocated [23:42] You might need to add some extra codecs. [23:42] I had to do it the other day. [23:42] elias_, yeah you should be fine, take a look at medibuntu if you have any codec issues [23:43] could try defining a partition from cilinder 1-18753 and see if it mounts? [23:43] kk thanks [23:43] Hate to say it, but many times the nonfree stuff has to be installed to actually interact with things from the Windows world. [23:43] I find VLC exceedingly good, whether Windows or Linux, to play some formats. [23:44] cjmaynar: whats with that sda1 though, is there windows on there? [23:44] and which one, as that partition type seems kinda old [23:45] I put the ubuntu CD on a USB stick, set the system to only boot off the USB key, and yet the USB stick tries to load the system. How do I force it to load the install environment? [23:45] acicula: yeah, there's windows XP on there [23:45] Although with the extra codecs and nonfree packages, Totem plays pretty much anything I've thrown at it so far. [23:45] acicula: i'd thought i'd whiped that partion when i installed ubuntu but it seems not [23:45] gparted showes the entire disk as unallocatd [23:45] heh [23:46] Hey === rww_ is now known as rww [23:46] maybe there is a tool to reconstruct tables again [23:46] Does anybody know how to import authentication keys into ubuntu via cli? [23:46] probably best to first make a raw disk image though [23:46] just DD the whole thing across the network [23:46] and then go to work on the image and see if you can fix it [23:46] Hi all. Launchpad sent me here. Haven't had any luck on #firefox so here goes: Firefox 4b6 can't see my History, and won't suggest Any URLs when I type in the location bar. I dual boot with WinXP, saving profiles in /media/xp/MozillaProfiles, which Could complicate things... But, when I start up FF3 it shows my History fine, so it Is being logged, just not shown in 4b6. === Aaron53672 is now known as Aaron5367 [23:47] yeah, that's preobablly the best approach. i'd rather not mess up any data that still exists [23:47] Any wild theories!? I can't find reference to anyone having a similar problem anywhere (most location bar problems are easily solved in Preferences / about:config) [23:48] i cant get suspend working, google didnt help with my mobo [23:48] gnome-settings daemon jusr died, why? [23:48] doubi, permissions OK? [23:48] Account you're running 4b6 from have permissions to see everything where you have it? [23:49] s2ram says i have an unknown mobo [23:49] I've found many times quirks like this come down to account permissions to the files or folders in question. [23:49] can anyone point me to a good workaround to sync TASKS in evolution btwn desktop and a laptop? [23:49] Wildfire, if I remember right the problem didn't arise in earlier beta versions, and I run FF3 for comparison from the same account [23:49] Hi guys, How can I setup a shared printer on a remote ubuntu machine connected to my network via a VPN. I tried the GUI "add printer" and entered the ip of the machine on the local LAN. Am I missing something [23:49] But I shall go check! [23:50] cjmaynar: dd if=/dev/sda | nc 192.168.0.254 9000 and nc -l -p 9000 | dd of=mybackup [23:50] replace ip/port as needed [23:50] I'm going to try here again since no one in #vbox is answering. Can anyone help me with uninstalling a video driver? [23:51] doubi, it might just be a problem with the Beta. Might want to report it as a bug. [23:51] I mean, it *IS* a Beta. [23:51] agentgasmask: you want the remote computer to print to a printer attached to a workstation on your local lan? [23:52] Wildfire, I guess. I just always think Someone out there on teh Google would surely have come across it before me <:-) "sudo ./firefox" should be sufficient to check your theory, shouldn't it? Or should I go looking at things by hand? [23:52] bobstro: The other way around. :) [23:52] agentgasmask: ah, so the local lan computer print to the remote vpn client? [23:53] agentgasmask: how is the remote machine vpn'ed in? [23:53] bobstro: That is correct. [23:53] doubi, not sure, since I've only got the basics of Linux down. I usually go poking at looking at the file and folder permissions directly first, to see if I notice anything. [23:53] agentgasmask: and is the printer on the actual machine that is running the vpn client? [23:54] Wildfire, righto, it's the most help I've had so far. If I don't find anything screwy then Bugzilla it is. Cheers. [23:54] agentgasmask: i'd start by confirming you can actually ping the remote machine with the attached printer while it's connected. make sure it is not running a firewall, since it probably sees your lan as a foreign network. [23:54] agentgasmask, is the printer connected to a workstation or does it have it's own internal print server? [23:54] bobstro: through OpenVPN. Yes, the printer is connected to the machine running the openvpn client. [23:54] The printer has to be shared. [23:54] Should be running a lpd [23:55] agentgasmask: does the vpn client give you an address on the local lan when you connect? can you ping it from the lan? [23:55] Wildfire: usb to the client [23:55] agentgasmask: if you can reach it, then we can look at services needed, but you have to be able to reach it via the network first. [23:55] bobstro: I beleve so, I think it is .70 [23:55] agentgasmask: can you test? also, what about firewall? [23:56] bobstro: I don't think there is a firewall in place. [23:56] hi, trying to install a program (wireshark) and it's config file can't find the gtk/gtk.h libraries. How can I locate the package I need to download? [23:56] bobstro: I'll try a ping now... [23:56] Typical basic VPN is not firewalled. [23:56] The_Paco: installing from source? [23:56] Wildfire: iptables might be though. [23:56] Wildfire: just working up the stack. [23:56] acicula, yes [23:57] bobstro: if I can ssh in outside of the vpn, should I be able to vpn inside too? [23:57] bobstro: the ping was seccessfull [23:57] agentgasmask: from the local lan to the remote using the vpn-assigned address? [23:57] bobstro: right [23:57] The_Paco: check the Install file and the readme, you will need to install the dependency packages and their -dev versions these include the things suchs as the header file you just listed [23:57] Always a good sign [23:58] agentgasmask: should work, yes. [23:58] The_Paco: wireshark does come packaged for ubuntu though [23:58] agentgasmask: are both addresses on same subnet? [23:58] I remember what I came here to ask. [23:58] Is there a decent IPSEC VPN client for Ubuntu? [23:58] Wildfire: for cisco or? [23:59] Work VPN is still on the older Sonicwall. [23:59] acicula, I'll see if I can find it, thanks. Wireshark is kind of bug-happy, and I'd rather have the latest version [23:59] ipsec-tools https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPSecHowTo? [23:59] I've just moved off of Windows so the SonicWall client isn't helpful. [23:59] bobstro: I just confermed the vpn address by doing a ifconfig on the remote machine and saw: tap0 ... inet addr:192.168.xx.70 === kai_62656 is now known as kracker[BDC]
